stir it with celery. >> leland: that wouldn't be bad right now, some bacon, some shrimp. >> molly: happy birthday to the bloody mary. great anchoring with you, leland. happy new year, everybody. "outnumbered" starts now. >> gillian: this is a fox news alert, dabbling back into session this hour, congressmen battling over whether millions of americans will get $2,000 checks. we are expecting to hear from senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, effectively slamming the brakes on an increased payment from $600 to $2,000. we will bring you baking development as they happen. there is a new drama in next week's georgia runoffs which will decide control of the u.s. senate, and the balance of power in the entire congress. days out from the election, in quarantine after exposed to coronavirus. the other is facing questions now about ties to china.

peter doocy is live in georgia with the latest. looks kind of miserable there. hi, peter. >> this event with river and warnock just concluded, he's on his way to his next step. a payment from a chinese-linked company to jon ossoff's documentary company is something that republican candidates here in georgia allege could create a conflict of interest for a senator ossoff in dealing with china. >> we saw the chinese government tried to make new roads with us. young democratic lawmaker, eric swalwell. are you concerned that payment to a well-known young democrat, somebody linked to china or the chinese through another company, could be trying to influence you? >> come on, now. you are a serious reporter. do you really believe that a tv

channel airing an investigation by a company producing documentaries about war crimes in iraq, is that what you're implying it it is? >> david perdue is off the field today quarantining after coming in close contact with ex-staffer had covid-19. the latest update on his condition came on twitter with this. "thanks everyone who has called, texted, and reached out. we are home feeling great and ready to ring in the new year with a lot of virtual campaigning." somebody on the perdue campaign was a close contact, so he is off the trail until more negative tests are delivered. kelly loeffler has been out there and pushing back now on claims from jon ossoff that she campaigned with a klansman. >> the specific claim that you are at higher campaigning with a klansman, that originates from a former member of the klan here for a photo line? is that right? >> yes, lee kicked him out

immediately. that was absolutely what we had to do. i had no idea who he was. he's gone. i denounce that, i do not believe in it. it has no place around our campaign. >> and as far as you know that was a one-time event? >> absolutely. we won't stand for that. >> it was pouring for the duration of the warnock event here. some stayed in their cars, other tech umbrellas up to the stage. there were a few other people who stuck it out. at one point, warnock asked the people in the crowd who had already voted. there were a lot of tears. it's not clear how many people they are reaching to go and vote on tuesday right now, and we did -- we stayed in position to try to get a question to warnock, but the campaign told us he was running late, so he just went right to the bus and on to the next event. gillian? >> gillian: i would be remiss if i didn't commend you on some awesome reporting. only this week you've been out there a few days already, driving the cycle for us.

thank you, and happy new year. >> thanks a lot, gillian. >> gillian: you bet. happy new year to everyone at home from our virtual couch dealers. this is "outnumbered." i am gillian turner. here with us today is host of "sincerely kat" on fox nation, miss kat timpf. also, physician and fox news contributor, dr. nicole saphier. contributefox news contributor d syndicated radio host, leslie marshall. and former congressman had also fox news contributor, john duffy. happy new year, everyone. >> kat: happy new year. >> dr. saphier: happy new year. >> gillian: let's get right into it. sean, conventional wisdom right now is that the race is very tight, neck and neck, for all four candidates. we also now that it doesn't have to be this way. and it perhaps shouldn't be this way in the state of georgia, which is really closely aligned with president trump. most voters very supportive of his agenda. also, historically tied to the republican party.

>> sean: yes. first off, i want to say happy new year, ladies. great to be with you on the first day of the year. i wore my pink tie for you all. >> gillian: thank you! [laughter] >> sean: you're welcome! it shouldn't be that tight, you are right, but i think it's an influx of different people around the country coming in to change the voter makeup. if you look at the news that you just gave, it is tough for perdue in these last couple days to be off the trail. you want to be out barnstorming all across the state, touching voters, giving last-minute message, energizing them to go vote for you and be sitting at home in a quarantine for covid, i think that's really challenging. also, as we hear the stories come out in georgia, you see republicans continue to hit this idea of democratic socialism, tied to socialist and now communist china. i think it's tough for ossoff, in that interview with peter doocy coming to sit here and say, "listen, they just give me a few dollars, it's not a big deal. i haven't sold out to china." the problem is the honey pot that comes from china isn't

always that obvious. they were giving money to eric swalwell when he was a county official, setting him that for bigger things. not only that, ossoff was tweeting out in 2012 that he was encouraging his followers to get their news from a chinese communist news organization. i think it's a big story and it'll drive the election on tuesday. >> gillian: sean, a lot of pollsters are saying the worry with these runoffs to republicans is that the base is kind of over it. a lot of them feel that the election is rigged, they are upset about 2020, they feel like their vote is not going to count anyway. we might even see a bit of an enthusiasm gap there. is that you are read? >> sean: i think with president trump coming out on monday to rally the troops come if he stresses how important this race is, i think it's going to work. if he goes off script and complains about election results and cheating, that's going to be a problem for that energized base that republicans need to win the race on tuesday.

>> gillian: well, someone who is not lacking enthusiasm are the two parties here. lastly, we are seeing -- take a look at the big leagues that are going to come out over the following final day stretch. it tells you everything you need to know on the democrat side we've got joe biden and kamala harris. stacey abrams. on the right, we've got the president, the vice president, nikki haley, lindsey graham, on and on and on. do you think this is going to really -- is this going to be kind of what charges either one of these sides across the finish line? or is this just icing on the cake right now? >> leslie: well, i would tend to agree with what sean said. rachel did a great job with the tie, by the way, sean. [laughter] this is a complete ground game. this state, the specific race right now, is a complete ground game. overwhelming majority of voters on both sides have already made

up their mind. it's getting those people who have made up their mind you haven't come out of it yet to come out to vote on tuesday. some of these big names could do that. the president and the president-elect on the opposing sides. but i don't think issues, quite frankly, like china really matter to the voters on one side or the other. i find it interesting that david perdue is talking about china, because he lived in hong kong for years when he was working for sara lee. he actually created more jobs working for sara lee and for the dollar store in china that he has in the united states and the people of georgia, and that certainly could backfire. that is not what the voters of georgia care about. the voters in georgia care about those $2,000 stimulus checks. the voters of georgia care about the composite of the senate, who is in control, and who will be the majority leader. for some, it comes down to a race between a white man and a black man, or a man and a woman, or a christian and a jew. it really does, for a lot of

these voters, become very personal for them. it's a very different composite, i agree with sean, the demographics of georgia have certainly changed. they are seeing that in many states, georgia is definitely one of them. it's very tight end it's all about not just who supports who but who comes out to really show their support and voting next week on tuesday. >> gillian: kat, lady say to that can make you think they'll be voting for candidates on the last part of what leslie picked up on there? to think a lot of georgians will come out and vote for candidates with kind of their i.d. iidentities forefront in mind? >> kat: a lot of people are looking at the bigger picture. this is about having a completely democratic government and the mixed government. i agree with sean, it'll be up to president trump to stay on message rather than maybe going off script, talking about the presidential election. if you can get that message, there are these people who would say, "hey, that's a big picture, all these little attacks don't matter." each party could run a couple

potatoes and i would still go out and vote because it says something about the larger picture of our government. >> gillian: we've got to leave it there. dr. saphier, will come to you on the other side of the break. bret baier and martha maccallum will lead our special coverage of the georgia senate runoff tuesday night when voters will decide which party will ultimately take control of the senate. jon scott and i will pick up special coverage later in the evening starting at 1:00 a.m. eastern. make sure to tune in first at 6:00 p.m. right here on fox news channel. this is a fox news alert now, senate leader mitch mcconnell is speaking moments ago, spoke moments ago on the floor about the covid relief bill and the battle over the $2,000 payments. we will bring you his remarks, next. plus, operation warp speed is hitting a speed bump. what is slowing the effort to get shots into arms? and who is president trump blaming? we'll talk about that next. >> normally developing a vaccine

>> a bipartisan common sense that congress in both chambers is not keen to let senate a policy and senator sanders to rush to borrow money for universal cash giveaways, regardless of need. a huge chunk would be socialism for rich people, money flowing to households earning well into six figures. >> gillian: that was senate majority leader mitch mcconnell a few moments ago. he essentially repeated his claims from yesterday, calling the $2,000 covid relief text "socialism for the rich."

dr. saphier, i want to come to you first. what do you think about the plan to distribute $2,000 checks versus $600 checks connect from a medical perspective, do you think this is money a lot of americans would use to cover health care costs, to cover ill? or do you think this is something that is essentially going to end up just being more government waste and we are going to see a lot of fraud like we did with the last round of stimulus checks connect >> dr. saphier: well, there's always going to be some level of government waste when you are talking about a bailout. undoubtedly there will be some level of waste. i would say that $600 in the pocket now is significant better than $2,000 any time in the future. people need it right now. according to a national poll, 13 13.4% of americans say that in the last seven days they have not had enough money either once or multiple times to put food on the table for their family. that is significantly higher than it has been in prepandemic

times were only about 3% of adult americans have said that. it is crucial right now, at the rate is still high, people are suffering, the economy is still down, we need to make sure that people have the resources they have, and we have to remember with that unemployment rate that people have lost their health insurance, so it is crucial that we get to cash in the hands of people that need it the most. they need to be caring for their children, they need to put food on their table, and we need to make sure that they are still getting their medical care. i urge, urge of the senators to get together and get something to the american people right now. >> gillian: great point. in times like this, millions of americans can't really afford to make perfect the enemy of the good. that sounds like what you're saying. expediency is needed here above and beyond all else. sean, what mitch mcconnell is now saying, it essentially echoes what pat toomey has been saying for weeks, which is that he was opposed to the $2,000 checks. not because he doesn't want

struggling americans to have more money, but because he wants this aid to be targeted to help specifically those people. he says under this plan hundreds of thousands if not millions of americans who haven't lost a day's salary, haven't lost a business, haven't lost a home where are under threat of eviction, are going to get a whole lot of stimulus money, and that is really misdirected. >> sean: and they are absolutely right. if you have a pizza owner who used to make $250,000 in 2019 but has been crushed by the pandemic and won't get any relief, but a government worker who hasn't lost one paycheck well, this doesn't make sense. mitch mcconnell talking about socialism for the rich, we shouldn't have socialism for the rich or the poor. we don't want socialism, it should be targeted towards people who have been hurt by the coronavirus. and it's not right now. i also think there has been a lot of debate about people concerned about the debt and deficits, which i am a debt hock.

the problem is, if republicans don't win in georgia, this half a trillion dollars will be trump change compared to what democrats will spend if they control all levers of governme government. >> gillian: leslie, what do democrats think about this idea that people who are making $74,000 today who are making $74,000 yesterday who are making $74,000 last year's stand to benefit so greatly from this, while people have lost entire small businesses who maybe had income over $75,000 this year but i hav are hammer hemorrhagii going to see nothing? >> leslie: well, quite frankly, i don't know what bill you are looking at. the cap is $75,000 per person adjusted gross income, which is not rich by even american standards. >> gillian: but that was just an example. right under that. >> leslie: by any american standard. look, the problem that you have

when you are giving money to over 300 million people in this country, how are you going to determine who is out of work right now? whose businesses have suffered right now? when we look at our tax returns, when are those filed? not until april 15th for the year before. sean, i don't agree with you in agreeing with mcconnell and pat toomey, but i do agree that some people need this many more than others. do they punish the people that right now are in dire need, whether it's $600 or $2,000, because there's no way our government is going to be able to figure out a way to pick and choose who gets his money? and we know that. if you have a stimulus check and a bailout, as some are calling it, to help the american people, they do need it right now. and he really don't have the time to sit there and say, "wele $5,000 less this year or $50,000 less this year? how badly are they suffering?" at the end of the day, and is

not socialism, if it is socialism then rich people shouldn't be getting medicare or social security, both federal programs that we all as taxpayers pay into. >> gillian: fair point. kat, what you think about what bernie sanders bernie sanders said yesterday connect the main thrust of what he was saying on the floor is that he doesn't trust any bill put forth and it is, under this president, because of what happened back in 2016 with the tax bill. it ended up really befitting and enriching the top 1% of americans. he cited i think charles koch, that his companies ended up with a $1.4 billion tax break. he doesn't want to risk that happening again in 2020. >> kat: i think this is a perfect example of what's wrong with congress right now. if you have mitch mcconnell coming out and saying, "socialism for the rich!" and burn is like, "no, you are socialism for the rich!" it's like they don't have time to read these bills. the first one they already voted on, that almost 6000-page bill,

they got before 2:00 p.m. and voted on it before 8:00 p.m. i don't know, either we have some superhuman speed readers in congress, or perhaps this whole thing is just such a fraud and such a farce. i don't know why more people aren't talking about that. people are voting on stuff they haven't even read. >> gillian: it's true, and a lot of members have said that. a lot of them said, "i don't want to vote, but i'm pushed into a corner. i haven't even read a page of this thing." we got to leave it there. the stock market ended at all-time highs, and new survey revealing that a majority of law street believes the market is heading for a tank under president-elect joe biden. we will debate that story coming up next. and covid vaccines are being distributed across the country, but a shockingly low percentage of those shots have actually been injected into peoples arms. why can't the rollout also be done at warp speed? stick with us. ♪ >> years from now, they'll be

talking about it. they'll be talking about this great, great thing that we did with the vaccines. a truly unprecedented, amazing medical miracle.

>> over and over again we were told it would be impossible to deliver a vaccine by the end of the year. all of the experts said absolutely unthinkable, trump is

exaggerating, it can't happen. and we did it. long before the end of the year. they said it would take a medical miracle, and that's exactly what it is. >> gillian: president trump's operation warp speed did deliver coronavirus vaccines before the end of 2020, as committed. the problem is getting those shots now injected into americans. a new shocking state-by-state breakdown from the cdc tells us that just 2.8 million people had been vaccinated across the country. that falls far short of the 100 million health and human services secretary alex azar said would have shots by now. president trump tweeting the federal government has distributed the vaccines to the states, now it's up to the states to administer. "get moving!" state health care systems are already overstretched. california, the nation's new epicenter, has not used nearly 80% of available vaccines. in new york city, meanwhile, where the virus is also

researching, today's "new york post" asks, "where is our shot connect" as the city has also administered just 20% of available doses. meanwhile, new york governor andrew, is growing criticism for saying that recovering addicts and rehab facilities will be among those to get vaccinated early in the next round. dr. saphier, i want to have you go first paid can you give a sense of the big picture why the rollout is proceeding so slowly apace? and also could you weigh in with some kind of a report card for us on how you feel hospitals and clinics are doing administering the vaccine? are they going fast enough and living up to their end of the bargain? >> dr. saphier: undoubtedly, operation warp speed has exceeded our expectations in terms of getting a vaccine that is safe and efficacious to the markets. we have a couple of them. however, it is lagging behind in the distribution and also the administration of the vaccine. we were told tens of billions of doses would be distributed by

the end of 2020, but now at this point only 14 million have been distributed, with just 3 million finding themselves into the arms of americans. it administration has been externally sluggish, and it would seem the federal government did their part. they got the vaccines out, they cut 14 million doses out, and from the state perspective they are having a hard time getting it out. it is the ability for the hospital systems in the health department to really get these to the that need it. it's a bit of a taxonomy. for a country it does not have big government, we have no problem blaming the federal government when things aren't going well. bottom line is he had multiple vaccine candidates in late stage clinical trials for months. the state departments and legislators should have been working on this. they certainly weren't taking it seriously. you should be hearing governor cuomo and other saying maybe we should be getting it to this population for this

population. they should have known already. they should already have been a plan in place, and the moment the vaccines at the doorsteps, they should have been administered to the people. in terms of the individual hospitals, they are doing a phenomenal job. you have to remember right now we are on truncated holiday hours, and we also have thousands of health care professionals all across the country who are out of work because they either have covid where they are having to isolate or quarantine because of exposure. i can tell you that they are strapped for staffing, as well. there's not enough people to administer right now, and all the support we would greatly appreciate. as we enter 2021, i think you will really see a ramp up in the vaccine administration. >> gillian: it is really encouraging to hear the logjam has probably not been happening at the hospital and the clinician level. that is good news for americans going forward. there is a legitimate argument to be had when it comes to

vaccine distribution about whether the fed government or the state should be in charge. president trump is kind of sticking to his guns. all along when it comes to treating covid patients, whether it is prevention, testing, and now with the vaccine, he says, "you guys," the states, "know your citizens. need to run the show." he is sticking with that now. >> sean: he's right. as a role for the federal government in the state government. donald trump did his job and he should do a victory lap. at incredible speed, he went at the speed of the billionaire businessman and got a vaccine into the hands of states, but now it is the states' jobs. they have the resources and infrastructure to make sure this virus can be delivered. if you're in california where they are at the epicenter of the covid outbreak, and only 300,000 vaccines have been injected into the human arm, but there is 1.5 million that are in the state, i would be outraged. donald trump can't save the world. he can only do his part, which he has come of it is to get the

vaccine, and the states have to step up and deliver to the people. they should have thought about this months ago. how do we get it out to the public? as the doctors have said, now they are trying to figure out what is the pathway forward, how to distribute it. by the way, who should get it. that should have happened six months ago. >> gillian: dr. saphier, a quick follow-up with you on that point. do you share sean's perspective connect when you look at state administrators, is it obvious to the health care community, to the medical community, that these decisions should have been made quite some time ago? >> dr. saphier: absolutely. i will tell you they are putting forth statewide blueprints of the vaccine rollout several months ago. however, i don't think they were really taking it seriously. i think they were just doing it because they were supposed to be doing that. they didn't make sure the resources were going to be there. while i do believe that it should be state-specific for the vaccine rollout, i will say that

notoriously, historically, state public health departments are not well funded and they are usually running on razor-thin margins. i can tell you during the course of this pandemic they have been suffering, they have a lack of staffing, a lack of resources, but that should have been dealt with months ago. because we knew a vaccine was coming, and here it is, and they are blowing it for americans everywhere. >> gillian: leslie, i want to hear your thoughts reacting to what sean said a few moments ago, that president trump fulfilled his end of the bargain, and he should be taking a victory lap now. >> leslie: looked, nobody should be taking a victory lap as americans are dying here in the state. everybody don't like people are dying every few minutes for covid-19 he has three problems. have federal bureaucracy and red tape, you have state bureaucracy and red tape, but then something nobody has yet mentioned is the private sector. let me give you an example, and i'm not picking on this company. i will use it as an example because we had a problem here in

the states specifically. walgreens is supposed to help a number of nursing homes. walgreens and the nursing homes haven't been able to come up with a way to administer those vaccines. to dr. saphier's point, she is right. when you have so many people working on this, right now we have zero beds in many icu parentless in many counties in this state. we have run out of body bags. we have tents being back stomach built in parking lots. we are surging. my sister-in-law is an e.r. physician in northern california, i spoke to her yesterday and she said it is hell, a war zone. additionally, some of these health care workers aren't being vaccinated. they are next in line. look at florida, marco rubio had his injection before many health care workers. that is wrong by any state standard. i don't care if you are democrat-run or a republican-run state. it is a multifaceted distribution system with multifaceted problems with the

federal government, the state government, and the private sector, like walgreens and cvs and rite aid, et cetera. they should be working together. it's easier said than done. >> gillian: that's a fair point, leslie. give our best year sister-in-law, thank you for what she's doing. coming up next, the stock market has capped off a soaring comeback this year, ending 2020 with record highs. a new survey of wall street investors finds a majority of them are preparing for a market tank once the new year settles in, and president-elect joe biden takes over. we will debate that coming up next. ♪ if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, ...little things... ...can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla,

spew on the stock market has ended 2020 on a high note, the dow closing at a record 30,606. the s&p also hit a new record, and the nasdaq climbed even higher. president trump tweeted shortly before midnight last night, "finish off the air with the highest stock market in history, setting records with your

401(k)s, just like i said he would. congratulations to all." meantime a new survey of wall street insiders found mostly the next four years under president-elect biden will be worse for investors than it was under president trump. that is largely due to biden's plan to raise corporate taxes. kat, let's talk first about the stock market. obviously great economic figures there. the question, though, is this going to translate to the vast majority of americans on main street who don't invest in the stock market, who have maybe lost jobs and businesses and even homes during the last year? >> kat: right, that's always a question. particularly now, they're definitely in unprecedented times, because we still don't know what is going to happen. it is obviously a good thing, and going into the second point quickly about biden becoming president, people have been talking about this since november in terms of what it means for the stock market. a lot of experts even november were saying it does kind of depend what happens in the

senate. if it is republican, we have a mixed government paid a lot of them are very hopeful that we won't see these huge losses, because hopefully maybe republicans can put the kibosh or put a stop some of the bigger government regulations that the democrats are looking at adding increased taxes. >> gillian: leslie, to pick up on that point, what is your best guess as to why wall street may not be so jazzed about biden presidency? should ordinary americans really care what wall street bankers think about the economy? >> leslie: i like that question and the question you ask at the beginning of this segment. >> gillian: i thought you might. >> leslie: when you talk about a stock portfolio, the violin stays in the case, because most americans aren't caring about that right now paid right now it's all about the pandemic, and it's about getting their jobs back. look, wall street, in this cnbc poll, it may say that, but if you look at the fine print it also says the majority of the

insiders felt the stock market will continue to increase in the years ahead during a biden administration. also, if you remember the golden dome at goldman sachs and moody's both said recovery would be better under joe biden presidency, and that was before he became president-elect. to your question specifically, wall street always is going to seal more confident with a republican because republicans tend to do what they've done, and republicans did hear corporate tax breaks, which is a tax break for the rich. democrats, not so much. obviously joe biden is a democrat, and that's why i think the insiders in this particular poll came down and broke down two-thirds to have that opinion. >> gillian: sean, i'm going to bet you $100 you don't degrade. >> sean: i do not agree with that. [laughter] >> gillian: i only bet when i know i'm going to win. [laughter] >> sean: the democrats, it's all wall street. the biggest contributor to the democratic party are wall street big bankers.

i was on the financial services committee, i saw it firsthand. to say that democrats aren't in line with baking and wall street, that's a fallacy. they have fought against republicans, while big business has done that to us, but i think let's take a trip back. by terms policies of putting america first, streamlining regulation, lowering taxes, this had the most amazing economy in our lifetime. we have had casing wages, the poor people were doing better with more jobs, more opportunity, more upward mobility. why joe biden and democrats would say that model doesn't work and we want to go to a new socialist model, which has always failed, doesn't make sense to me. joe biden would be smart to say, "i will continue what term did because that's great for the american people." >> gillian: the national economy is going to be under president trump's premier legacy issues going forward in the years and decades ahead. we got to leave it there, that coming up next, the g.o.p. freshman group not taking on the democratic squad. they said that they are pushing back against socialism and

fighting for america. dave also dubbed themselves the freedom for us. we'll introduce you to them ne next. ♪ alright, i brought in ensure max protein to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't.

thought leader. i don't agree with aoc but she was a thought leader, number one. to the second thing she had was a fawning press. magazine covers, presses all of the nation, they have helped build that profile to make her leader. instead of getting soft press ors, i think they will be roundly criticized and abused by the media, because most of the media are left-wing and they don't believe in free enterprise, they believe the socialist movement. they have their work cut out for them. it's a tad younger members pushing back with this idea of liberty, freedom, and free enterprise. >> kat: i agree it'll certainly probably be tougher. leslie, i'm not saying this is you, but i'm saying a lot of people democrats are on the left, they kind of seat immigrant-adjacent republicans as being serve an oxymoron. a lot of people have that narrative. you think there could be influence there? what you think that perspective? >> leslie: i live in california, are you kidding me?

>> dr. saphier: i am more of a reflection than a revolution person. i have looked at the last year, and while it's been hard for everybody, there are some silver linings. for me personally it has meant more physical time at home with my children, with my husband, so as we move into 2021 i want to encourage everyone to continue focusing on their physical and mental health but keep playing board games, keep taking those walks around the neighborhood, and just try and have that downtime that we have all had a little bit more of this last year. the one end, nicole, your children are so gorgeous. >> dr. saphier: oh, thank you! by the way, i haven't been wearing fake eyelashes because i can't put them on myself.
