inaugurated on january 20. my focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly, and seamless transition of power. >> president trump today also tweeting that he will not be going to the inauguration on january 24 and he will just be the fourth president in u.s. history not to attend in the first since 1869. president-elect biden is not commenting on calls by a slew of democrats to invoke the 25th amendment to remove president trump from office or pursue articles of impeachment. top democrats nancy pelosi and chuck schumer among those demanding such a move. several republican signaling that they might support impeachment. senate judiciary chair lindsey graham, while saying he does not support invoking the 25th, is warning that all options are on the table if something else should happen between now and inauguration. i'm gillian turner in washingt washington. here is host of kennedy on

fox business, kennedy. we have dagen mcdowell as well as senior editor at "the federalist," also fox news contributor, mollie hemingway. and special guests joining us today, former house oversight committee chairman fox news contributor trey gowdy. good friday morning, afternoon to all of you. trey to you first, there is what democrats and a couple republicans would now like to do which is to either invoke the 25th amendment or have president trump impeached. there is also the reality of time taking bio. they are running up against the clock. we all know thanks to the events of a year ago that impeaching the president would require a more gordy of votes in both houses of congress. the bar to invoking the 25th amendment is even higher, not a lot of people are focusing on it. it requires a two-thirds majority in both houses of

congress. so that being said, even if every democrat in the senate and house got on board today, is fair of a real possibility that either of these measures could go forward and result in president trump being removed from office? spac>> trey: no. one of the reasons you see anger is elected officials politicians and pundits set expectations and people are crazy enough to believe it's a realistic possibility and they are disappointed, frustrated and angry when it doesn't happen to let me be clear, neither one of those is going to happen. neither one of them. if you're excited about the prospect of the president being impeached and barred from ever holding office again, temper your excitement. it's not going to happen. i wish people on both sides would be -- look, conservativism tells people what they need to hear, what they wan -- mike pence could not pick

donald trump to be president. he couldn't overturn votes. the members of the house and senate who fed this mythology that somehow different electors could be substituted in, that was wrong. people need to tell the truth. the president is not going to be removed from office between now and joe biden's inauguration. >> gillian: president-elect biden was asked about this yesterday if he would join calls from pelosi and schumer to move forward and invoke the 25th. he declined. or he said he's not commenting. why do you think he didn't jump on board? >> trey: the same reason he didn't want to talk about court packing. he knows it's not going to happen but he also knows his base is a rational and they wanted to happen. so he's kind of like solomon offering to split the baby. and just like court packing, he wants to dodge the issue. it's probably smart politics. >> gillian: kennedy, we have learned from the white house unit that the vice president has

not participated in any discussions about invoking the 25th. but pence did diverge sharply from the first time from president trump, who he's been tremendously loyal to over the last five years on wednesday when he declined to follow the president's encouragement and decertify electoral results. what do you think is going on with the vice president now? >> kennedy: i think the vice president is pretty rational and has a pretty great sense of self preservation. also i wouldn't be surprised if he has future political aspirations. although he has been very loyal to the president, he has served for the last four years. he also might want to keep his reputation intact. he probably disagreed with the tack of trying to overturn the elections. his own hands. i thought -- i saw in this whole

process on the senate side at least, the most jockeying for potential 2024 republican nominees between josh hawley, ted cruz and their vociferous need to object to the certification and also the vice president. >> gillian: dagen, yesterday in his video message, president trump said there would be an orderly, peaceful transition of power. he also said i'm going to turn my attention to the work that needs to be done for the transition. great news. isn't it also couple months too late? i can only see from personal experience. i worked on the transition from george w. bush's administration to president obama by the national security council. we've started prep for the transition six months out from inauguration day. how is the president going to prepare the new administration in 13 days? >> dagen: the new administration has been working

on it for weeks now. that's important termite people. one thing that i wanted to say about mike pence and the statement he made. when he said "my oath to support and defend the constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral vote should be counted and which should not. to somebody like mike pence. i don't know the man, never met him. but because he's a man deep of faith. it means something. it was important to him. when you take an oath and you are a man of deep christian faith the way he is, it was significant. number one. number two, couple things to what trey gowdy was saying. andy mccarthy, former federal prosecutor, fox news contributor and all right great dude, just like trey. he wrote a column that said the 25th amendment applies to a health crisis, period.

you can't just say that there's a mental health crisis at play. it doesn't work like that. let's wipe it off the slate. "the wall street journal" today and editorial notes that in terms of impeachment, if you're talking about bringing the country together and healing, it's not a good idea for the democrats to push impeachment who have zero credibility on it. the abuse of impeachment just a year ago, if you will. this is, the journal wrote "they are already talking about the democrats for impeachment articles that include a litany of anti-trump grievances. over four years." and then you have the russia cofallacy, the fable that was pushed by jerry nadler and adam schiff. they would be potentially in charge of it. that would not be a healing moment for the country. if that's what they are really interested in. >> gillian: on that theme, mollie, but healing moments, is

there any hope in the wake of wednesday's sort of national trauma that there is no may be some motivation for republicans and democrats to unify a little bit. forget about who's president. forget about who is the majority of them congress. does this open up a psychological space so that people in their own minds can justify working across the aisle are not merely? >> mollie: you can see by what has happened in the days since the events on wednesday. that's not going to happen. i agree with what trey was saying. it would be ridiculous to push for impeachment. but it's not completely ridiculous from a political standpoint. for democrats and other leftists, people in the media, it would help them if they could impeach the president for the second time. not just because it was satisfy their base but it would also be an attempt to destroy the republican party. the republican party has thought

that much of the success of the trump administration was too much about trump, how money votes he's gotten and what not. people supported donald trump because of how his policies helped working-class americans and how he was able to single-handedly move the republican party to caring about those policies. people want to move past trump or if they want to accomplish what they claim they want to accomplish politically, the republican party has a very easy path forward of actually fighting for the voters who turn out and support them. it does me that they need to see in the moment now that they have every responsibility to condemn violence and rioting, as they have consistently for many years, and also to push back against some of these mobs that are going after and trying to tarnish all 75 million republican voters with the actions of these few people -- not few, several hundred. but to conflate this. the massive popular support for

republicans without mom it's not a good way forward -- with that mob, it's not a good way forward. >> gillian: conservatives are pushing back and saying that rioters ar are do not represente majority of president trump space, some in the media and politicians are trying to do. president-elect biden says there is a double standard of how law enforcement treated the attack on capitol hill versus black lives matter protests over the summer. why some critics are saying that assessment is way off base. next. >> no one can tell me that if it had been a group of black lives matter protesting yesterday, it wouldn't, they would've been treated very, very differently. u the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't.

>> no one can tell me that if it had been a group of black lives matter protesting yesterday they wouldn't have been -- they would've been treated very, very differently than the mob and the thugs that stormed the capital. we all know that's true. and it is not acceptable. totally unacceptable. >> president-elect joe biden calling out what he views as a double standard and how law enforcement handled wednesday's attack on capitol hill. "the new york post" editorial board writes that biden and others have apparently forgotten what happened last summer. "across the country, blm and antifa were coddled. portland allowed them to set up an autonomous zone in the middle of the city for months. police and politicians did nothing. and liberal cities, politicians told cops to back off and push

for more lawbreakers to be released without bail or no charges. mr. biden, don't hypocritically try to rewrite the story of last summer's riots to suggest that liberals were more permissive or that there is a double standard or racism at work. we all saw what happened then when we all see what happened now. in fact, over the summer, many media figures in town democrats downplayed the months of protests. >> that ain't a riot, what we are seeing in minneapolis. what we are seeing is frustration. >> do not get it twisted and think this is something that has not -- never happened before and that it's so terrible. >> a mob in the middle of the night throwing it in the harbor? >> people do what they do. >> it's a myth. >> tol show me where it says protester should be polite and

peaceful. >> it is not generally speaking unruly. but fires have been started. >> dagen: that is, i was watching it earlier and i was laughing, trey gowdy. it was so ridiculous. i want to reiterate something that i said yesterday. what we saw from republicans and conservatives immediately, as the attack on capitol hill was happening, swift and forceful condemnation of the rioting of the violence, almost across the board. you didn't see that from liberals and democrats last summer and now they are actually trying to memory hole what happened and still calling it a peaceful protest, and acting like it was no looting, burning. >> trey: the towering inferno in the background while a cnn reporter says that it's a mostly

peaceful protest. if joe has not had anyone tell him that the cops would've handled it the same, let me be the first. they moved a precinct out of minnesota because they didn't want to engage with the lawless citizenry. the cops caught up and moved. they left them occupy around the federal building in the pacific northwest. they didn't do anything about that. i am almost positive that it was a white woman who was killed wednesday and it was a white cop who was killed. i know that he's deeply indebted to his african-american base. i know that. but let's just apply the same rules to everyone. let's just do that. if you're going to condemn what happened wednesday and i have from the moment that i sought, you also have to condemn what happened over the summer. his vice president was bonding them out. have one standard for all lawlessness. he makes it simple.

>> dagen: kamala harris referred to last summer as peaceful protesters. that's what i'm talking about ignoring the violence and looting. for me because i saw the looting here in new york and i know all the business owners are many of them who were hurt, we don't know who they voted for. their race, their ethnicity is broad and irrelevant. they were robbed and it's wrong and you condemn it. >> mollie: right, kamala harris did more than that. she encouraged people to bailout rioters. she said that protests would keep coming and keep coming. a lot of democrats did that. it's wonderful to see everybody condemning what happened the other day. it's great that conservatives are held to a higher standard of these things, it's an honor to be held to a higher standard. it's also true that these events do not happen in a vacuum. millions of americans know what happened. not just the summer when riots

were embraced and supported by members of the media and democratic politicians. they know the democrats invited people into overtake capital buildings during the kavanaugh protests. i wrote about how democratic senators invited people into the hearing room to get arrested. they also know that leftists have taken over the wisconsin state capitol, leftists took over the texas state capitol and interfered with the legislative procedure. they made wendy, whatever her last name is in texas, out to be a national hero, the senator was filibustering that encouraging that type of action. this type of stuff is not tenable when you have two different standards. it leads to unrest. >> dagen: the moral high ground for the left looks like quicksand, kennedy. >> kennedy: yes. it's dissolving pretty quickly. it's also very funny that all these people on the left who called for defunding the police throughout the summer and throughout the campaign are now the ones going "where were the

cops?" they are right to ask that. there was a complete breakdown in communication between different law enforcement departments and from the d.c. mayor. it's just pretty laughable that now they are essentially calling for a police state at their fingertips. it's very interesting how these physicians change through convenience. >> dagen: people saying to my face, blaming donald trump for the attack on the federal courthouse and federal officers in portland, rather than the people doing the marauding and looting and rioting. that it was somehow on the protest had been going on for months at the time. and i'll finish with this. kamala harris joe biden and people, the talking heads in the left-wing media, they started condemning that violence when the poll numbers started moving against them. purely, the condemnation was

purely politically motivated, not because violence is wrong. conservatives are pushing back on some in the media and democratic lawmakers attempting to blame all conservatives for the siege on capitol hill. as a nation readies for a new administration and partisan politics are running high, many are asking, is government really looking out for you? >> what about your concerns? who wakes up in the middle of the night worried about your family?

>> who is going to look out for you? tucker carlson says no matter how you feel about president trump, things can abruptly change when he leaves office january 20. >> donald trump thinks almost exclusively about donald trump but so does a most every single democrat in the congress as well

as every single republican. all of them, every one of them is trump obsessed. who is you obsessed? who's got your concerns top of mind? who works up -- wakes up in the middle of the night concerned about your family? as far as we can tell no one. unless the republican party decides to wake up and push back against the lies and progress and acknowledge the purpose of those lies which is an unprecedented crackdown on the way you live, you will have no chance either. >> kennedy: that's not good. i don't disagree with what he said, trey. i think a lot of people buy into this fallacy that a bigger government means a better life for most people. how is that wrong? >> trey: if you're a conservative, you are a limited government person. it used to be one of the tenets of conservatism. it's not anymore. i couldn't tell you what the republican party stands for

anymore but it's definitely not limited government. i like tucker but he highlights one of the biggest dichotomies between the parties. the progressive thought leaders are all in office. the conservative thought leaders haven't bothered to run. there are lots of really good people in the house and senate. they don't get on television very often because they are not provocative. if you have really good ideas about how to run the country, i've been in congress and on television. i can tell you being on television is a hell of a lot easier. if you have all the answers, do your stint in public service and run. >> kennedy: that's interesting. mollie, one of the biggest problems, as the former congressman points out, washington is really a hell hole, not an attractive place. it seems like it's very soul crushing and you see the results of that. washington really only seeks to enrich itself.

>> mollie: it is true that washington seeks to enrich itself although i live here and i think it's not a completely awful place to live. i think tucker -- >> kennedy: it's not terrible. i'm talking about the capital and the government. while the place itself. >> mollie: it's totally broken right now and that's what the last four years have shown us. an expose for a lot of people. people are dead talking about it for a long time but i think now i think everyone realizes just how broken things are, just how little people in congress or other branches of government seem to care about the american way of life. protecting middle-class people. family units. i think the republican party has a very good path forward if it learns this lessons from the last four years about the need to defend its voters, about the need to make sure their policies actually help them. there are many ways to be a conservative in this moment. i think understanding that

fighting wars without good strategy is not good thing for a country to do, orienting your concern to places that are threats like china is a very good thing. understanding that free-trade agreements should be free-trade if you're going to call them that. how they can cause a breakdown of the middle-class. understanding the threats posed by fake tech which has more power than most governments in this world -- by big tech. you have democrats encouraging big tech to crush their political oppositions. these are important issues that are so easy to fight for. real quick, i saw that trump tweeted something like, to the 75 million people who voted for me and support in america first and make america great again policies, you will not be hurt by these other people. he's basically saying that i will get your back. he's out of power in a few weeks i'm not sure how much you can do with the republican party that retains power should be doing a lot for these people and they should have had a message like

that long before trump tweeted it today. >> kennedy: dagen, what is more important? having someone in washington to protect you and acting as your enforcer ring your shield or being the hell left alone by the government? >> dagen: making sure the government does not make catastrophic decision about your life, your health, and with your money. there is little role for conservatives to be there and you saw great gains among conservative women in this last election in terms of the house election. there -- women are willing to step up and step into these rules. i was raised by two small business owners, and the government never did, no politician, no one in power ever did dam thing to help my family. they went out of their way to

crush them. their business and their spirit. my great aunt was sterilized by the state of virginia against her will as part of the eugenics movement. i was raised to distrust government. quite frankly this vaccine distribution which has been a disaster because of governor cuomo who killed thousands of our elderly in nursing homes, if they had hand of vaccines to the private sector, to drug stores and pharmacies, we would be in better shape. i always side with the private sector over politicians. >> kennedy: well said. wisdom indeed. republican senator josh hawley is hitting back after a major publisher canceled his book following the capital riot. his canceled culture putting free-speech in danger? washington, d.c.,'s mayor pushing lawmakers to make d.c.

the 51st state. it will democrats do that? we'll debated next. >> we must get statehood on thee president's task within the first 100 days of the congress. new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. the moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a short list of quality candidates from our resume database. claim your seventy five dollar credit, when you post your first job at indeed.com/home. robiwithout the commission fees and account minimums.

>> dagen: the u.s. capitol police officer has died following injuries he sustained in wednesday's writing, identified as 42-year-old brian sicknick and is a fifth death related to that writing. the fbi released picture showing dozens of people wanted for their involvement in wednesday's storming of the capital. conservatives are pushing back saying the rioters do not represent the majority of president trump space. as some in the media and politicians are trying to do. radio host ben shapiro tweeting "what happened yesterday was absolutely horrifying and disgusting. see above. three, see above.

four, the attempt to blame all conservatives or trump voters for the actions of those they have consistently and overtly condemned is politically motivated, deliberately divisive. drivel. mollie, you are beginning to talk about this earlier. >> mollie: it's clear that what people are trying to do is exploit a horrifically awful situation for political power and that's not appropriate. you have everybody. i haven't seen any legitimate person or anyone say that what happened on wednesday was in anyway okay. you have unanimity of thought on this and yet people are somehow using this as a way to tarnish literally 75 million people. it's scary. you have people losing their jobs for merely attending peacefully the peaceful portion of the protests. no indication that they were any part of the mob violence and yet they've been losing their jobs.

the situation where we see horrifically untenable double standards. when a guy who supported bernie sanders tried to assassinate a bunch of republicans on a baseball field right near where i live, nobody said that everybody who voted democrat should be implicated. it's appropriate. they shouldn't be. people should be responsible for their own behavior. what's happening now, overstate what legitimate concerns about election fraud might lead to, it's not healthy and it's very scary for 75 million people. >> dagen: this is not just about censoring president trump on social media. this is about censoring conservative voices. it's about, as mollie pointed out, firing people because they attended a protest even though they weren't involved in the violent rioting. where does it end? if you don't have ideas to stand

on? if you're on the left and these are the length you have to go to silence people who disagree with you, then you've got a problem. >> trey: the danger of extrapolation which is why the criminal justice system makes it simple. identify the perpetrators. identify the people. chris cuomo said where is it written that protest have to be lawful and nonviolent? it's called the criminal code. that's where it's written. identify the people who broke the law, prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law in a fair wave with due process. i can't engage in groupthink. when i hear terms like everyone on the left wants to defund the police or everyone who voted for trump as an anarchist, my mind can't process that. we are a nation of individuals in a nation of laws. enforce the laws against individuals who violated them. that's my little simpleminded approach to it.

>> gillian: if we are going to talk about law enforcement's reactions to the protest, we have to acknowledge the reality which is that in the first two weeks of black lives matter protests, this past summer, 17,000 americans were arrested. so far, since the attack at the capitol on wednesday, 68 people have been arrested by d.c. metro police. it's really apples to oranges. i don't know that it's a fair comparison for president-elect biden or anybody else to be making from a law enforcement perspective. i agree with you in terms of the media coverage. the majority of president trump's supporters have been talking about court cases, they have been talking about getting all evidence in front of federal state judges. they've been talking about making sure to count legal votes. that's not what those people who stormed the capital on wednesday were talking about. >> dagen: the comparison of the numbers. the looters here in

new york city, they weren't prosecuted. they were released. >> trey: i was going to ask, what were the people in d.c. arrested for and how did their trails turn out? i'm almost positive d.c. is run by a democrat so if the police are arresting people without probable cause and they've got a major issue, i need to know what the people were arrested for and how the case turned out before i can say whether or not they arrests were warranted or not. >> kennedy: it's really smart to differentiate and i try to do this all summer. peaceful protests and riots. there's a difference and there's a very mentality. there is a switch that flips and people when they're able to engage in violence and hurt police officers and damage property that doesn't belong to them. so easily hurt other people. something's really wrong there. there's a very, very wide gulf between the protests and the

riot. unfortunately people are born. a lot of them are out of work. this is what happens when the bad apples lead the charge. >> gillian: and the pandemic has not been helping. >> kennedy: exactly. >> dagen: 19 million people still on unemployment. children not being educated. failure of government. new biden administration making a big change in the distribution of the covid vaccine when biden takes office. that's next. ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. whoo-hoo! great tasting ensure with 9 grams of protein, 27 vitamins and minerals, and nutrients to support immune health.

>> gillian: this is a fox news alert. president-elect joe biden will quickly release nearly all of the available coronavirus vaccine doses after he takes office january 20. this is a major shift from the trump administration strategy of withholding half the supply and reserve for second doses. joining me for more is dr. nicole saphier. dr. saphier, thanks for taking time for us on quick notice. i want to break it down into digestible parts. before we get to whether medically speaking this is a good idea or not, tell us why it is -- the trump administration had this strategy of keeping most of the second doses and reserve, not pushing them out to

americans. >> under operation warp speed, they are following the signs. isn't that what we have been saying that we should be doing? the sciences people need to doses of the vaccine to get the 95% efficacy. that's what the data strongly suggests amounts what they think is best to reach the level of immunity. under operation warp speed they said want to get millions of doses out what we need to make sure that the people who receive the first dose will be able to get the second dose. if they don't get the second dose, aren't we wasting the vaccine at that point? there is some evidence that some level of immunity will come after the first dose, the data, the science tells us they need the second dose. they were wanting to make sure that there was an allotment people who receive the first dose would get the second dose. the biden administration are coming out and saying once they take over, they are going to release the crack and if you want to say that and they are going to start shipping out millions upon millions of doses and not saving the second dose.

while i do agree with the concept of that because i don't think anybody should be waiting for a dose, at this point we have far more supply than we need. we've administered about 20% of the doses that have been sent out. just by sending out more doses right now, it's not going to fix the problem. it's not going to fix the bottleneck that's occurring all across the nation in getting that vaccine in the arms of americans. >> gillian: first of all, dr. saphier, for clarification, the first round of the dose, doesn't it have 50 something percent efficacy. is that right? >> close to that. pfizer and maternal head different trials and some of the data suggested a 50% efficacy after the first dose but there is no follow-up. but there was no follow-up so we don't know if it lasts. >> seems like the biden administration strategy to get shots into the arms of as many

americans as possible and then worry about following up with the second dose to get to 90 something efficacy, do you think it's a winning strategy or a strategy or strategy do to fail. >> i support the strategy if we were at this point administrating 100% of the doses that have already been distributed. we are far short. 28% of the doses have been sent out have been administered. we are nowhere near 100%. we should not be focusing on getting more doses out. we need to focus on getting the doses that have already been sent out into the arms of americans and that means by calling on the private sector, setting up sites to allow anyone over the age of 65 who wants a vaccine to be able to get it. they need to stop with the red tape and the restrictions and be given the vaccine to any american that wants it. >> dagen: it involves state

decision-making. you can say we're going to release all the vaccine doses but here in new york city for example, the health commissioner said yesterday we have thousands of appointments currently available for vaccines. the new york city mayor's actually with the governor because the city is essentially banned from giving a single shot to a single new yorker over the age of 75. you have in hospitals, vaccines or with the hospitals. this is the way the governor wanted it. you have people who are not actually health care workers in new york receiving the vaccine, administrators, secretaries, instead of older people. you took out the biden administration could release these doses but they might expire because inept state and local governments can't get them in the arms of people quickly enough. >> you make a good point.

it's not that hospitals are wanting to administered the doses to nonpatient facing employees but they are be restricted by the state by saying that they are not allowed to give it to their high-risk patient. they are saying it has to be hospital employees. beverly laced restrictions on them and you're absolutely right. once that vaccine leaves the freezer, it has a shelf life of about 30 days. at that point, they have to throw it away. if we get more, millions and millions of doses and it's not getting into the arms of americans, they're going to start throwing away doses and that's going to be a catastrop catastrophe. >> kennedy: let me ask, let's say a medical facility has a bunk of first-round doses -- a bunch of first-round doses of pfizer and that's what gets shipped and later on if they get mormoderna, are those vaccines compatible?

>> it's a great question and i wish i had the answer. in theory may be a woodwork. they are basically made of the same thing. the only difference is the owner of the good layer. we have no idea if they would complement each other. it's not recommended that you go from one to the next. it's recommended that if you get pfizer or moderna that you stick with that for the second dose. the sciences that you need to have the same and so we should not be mixing and matching. >> gillian: dr. saphier, quick follow-up. tell us a little bit more about what dagen mentioned, the bottlenecks. does the medical committee have an assessment of where that's happening? is it in the hospitals? before doses get to the hospital? where is it happening? >> dagen: i know a bunch of people in south florida who have

been vaccinated, bunch of older people. in the hospital just called them on the phone. >> gillian: let's hear from dr. saphier. >> they partnered with the public sector in florida. there going online and making appointments and they are getting the vaccine that day. it's not occurring in most of the places across the country. arizona, mississippi, georgia less than 20% having vaccinated. unfortunately when the hospitals were given their doses, it came with a litany of restrictions on who was able to get it. they had to scramble to make sure that they are staying in line so they don't get penalized because that's what governor cuomo is saying. do it the way i say or you're going to not only pay a fine but we will take your doses away. >> gillian: dr. saphier, thinks for joining us on quick notice. we appreciate it. thank you to the virtual coach. mollie, dagen, kennedy, trey.
