>> broncos have a great defense and playing at home but your mom and the broncos nation lost. >> dana: here is your $1. i will give it back to jimmie. i would venmo him a dollar. >> bill: does it feel like? >> dana: i have a picture of the group. great soup. see if he likes it. there you go. here is harris. she is next. >> harris: fox news alert senator joe manchin dealing the fatal blow to president biden's massive spending plan. and now democrats are headed into an election year divided without fulfilling some key campaign promises by joe biden. i'm harris "the faulkner focus" and you are in "the faulkner focus". the west virginia democrat announced yesterday with my friend bret baier that he could not vote for the president's enormous spending bill. sparking a total meltdown from the left. progressives lashing out at

manchin in a fit of anger and name calling. >> if he doesn't have the courage to do the right thing for the working families of west virginia and america, let him vote no in front of the whole world. >> we all knew that senator manchin couldn't be trusted. you know, the excuses as he just made i think are complete [bleep]. >> bill: he continued to move the goalpost and never negotiated in good faith and obstructing the president's agenda. all i want for christmas is a senator that has compassion for the american people and not contempt. >> i will be looking for the phone number to the ghost of christmas past, present and future or the email address to see about scrooge on christmas eve. senator manchin. >> harris: at least the others didn't cuss like omar.

senator ben sasse says manchin and kyrsten sinema are the only democrats in touch with reality. >> the overwhelming majority of the congress knows this bill is crazy even though there are six or seven dems that only say in private what manchin and sinema say in public. there should be a reality check on progressives. they aren't the mainstream. >> good afternoon to you. ever since senator joe manchin felt the fatal blow to build back better he has been taking -- jen psaki called him a liar and would eventually support the build back better framework. she wrote if his comments on fox and written statement indicate and end to the effort they represent a sudden and inexplicable reversal in his position and breach of his

commitment. progressives are infoour yaitd. they wanted to keep the infrastructure bill and reconciliation package linked together. they don't just blame manchin but also schumer and pelosi. >> joe manchin but it is really up to leadership in the democratic party who made the decision to get us to this juncture and how we will move forward. >> enough today senator joe manchin is defending himself saying his colleagues should not be surprised because he has been clear all along how much spengd he would support and on which priorities. efforts to move him, he says, were foolish. >> we can badger and beat one person up and surely enough protestors to make that person uncomfortable enough. they'll say i will vote for anything, just quit. i'm from west virginia and not from where they're from where you beat the living crap out of people and think they'll be submissive, period. >> schumer is calling for a vote on build back better.

it won't pass without manchin's support. expect to here not the final end to this but democrats talking about sliding some of the priorities from this bill into other packages. >> harris: of course they will do that. it is so swamp-tastic in d.c. pete hegseth, great to see you, pete. coming up you will tell us why you are where you are and a very special reason. let's start with this. could you hear what representative ilhan omar said. she can't trust joe manchin. i didn't know they were dating. that's not what's going on here. they have are supposed to disagree and negotiate. i am confused by what she thinks washington is supposed to be. he said he is listening to his voters in west virginia. >> of course. the so-called tolerant left is intolerant of any dissent whatsoever from their far left agenda. bernie sanders says joe manchin

is showing new courage. are you kidding me? no courage is going along with the bill when you know it's a sham. what many of joe manchin's democratic colleagues are doing. he is saying no to socialism and destroying jobs. he is saying no to inflation. you know what he is saying yes to? federalism. his voters in west virginia. capitalism, sanity, basic fiscal responsibility. joe manchin stared down the far left of his base and said you are out of control. we can't pay for this. it is not build back better. it is a green new deal that will crush jobs in my state. that's who i answer to. good on him. thank goodness for him. he is the only thing standing behind a socialist avalanche and he stood tall. they will try to badger him but the fact that they can't learn that that doesn't work with joe manchin. i probably don't agree with joe manchin on a lot of things but we agree kam is a good and great country, capitalism is

good and not destroy our own industries in terms of a global utopia. i don't think their shaming will have any impact on joe manchin. >> harris: democrats are going to try to stick in some of their delicious desires into other bills. that's how the swamp works. >> yes. yes. absolutely right. especially because the progressives fury, they don't want leadership and others don't want it pointed at them. they'll find other ways to tuck these into other bills. remember, nancy pelosi effectively works for the so-called squad. she knows their twitter feeds are more dangerous to her than anything else and knows she has a finite period to time to push it through. the infrastructure bill went through and they'll find a way to try to fulfill the promises secretly as they always do in washington with bills they don't read and things that aren't paid for that they tell us.

those are the chickens came home to roost for her. at least the $5 trillion mon tropical storm tee for now is dead. >> harris: the "wall street journal" with this headline. joe manchin rescues the democrats. opposition to build back better gives biden a chance to change course. and a quote. the democratic left must now confront the limits of their power. they thought they could bully their agenda through a 50/50 senate. they somehow persuaded mr. biden that he had to govern from the left. the response of many readers will be this is impossible since mr. biden is too weak a leader to pull off such a course correction. perhaps he is. mr. manchin offers democrats a lifeline back from the abyss. an interesting take. >> there is. they are arguing that joe manchin saved democrats from themselves reminding us of who they used to be, sort of an

opposition liberal party that wanted to grow government a little more. now it has become a culturally marxist socialist based party and he says i'm not in for that. they will see a red wave in 2022. in some places this will benefit some democrats because they didn't have to vote on this lunacy and won't have forstand behind its impact. to the economy and inflation, it is a win for all americans. it was never paid for. printing more money wouldn't help us get out of the situation we're in. that's deaf -- definitely good news. >> harris: was it strategic on manchin's point? house republicans are already prepared to turn up the heat on president biden if they take back the imagine -- majority in 2022. prelude to 2024 culture war. according to the report, we have to scroll it.

republicans are ready to investigate a whole bunch of things. the list of them. origins of covid. irs leak of billionaire financial information. attorney general garland's memo targeting parents with the f.b.i. the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan, and the nsa possibly spying on fox host tucker carlson. again the list gets longer, pete. >> the list is even longer than that. that will be the function of a republican congress should it be held by republicans from 2022 to 2024. if joe biden made his bed with the far left he will probably not change. he won't work with republicans on legislation that secures the border or gets people back to work. >> harris: he can't work with democrats. >> that won't happen. the oversight function of republicans who must do so aggressively. i was talking to byron donalds

here yesterday. he said if we do one thing we better be aggressive and unafraid to get to the truth. the bottom of the origins of covid and how government is being weaponized, the bought only of the fact that parents are being targeted by the government. what happened in afghanistan? is the pentagon telling the truth? and one of our colleagues may have been spied on by the government. maybe look into that, too. on the whole bunch of levels there is a lot of light that needs to be shown and republicans will have that opportunity. prelude to a 2024 culture war. >> harris: it sounds like a movie. >> bill: how about accountability. government should be reined in. >> harris: he can't work with democrats. they are hot mad at one of their own today and nothing that biden has been able to do to change that with joe manchin up until this point. you think it gets easier or harder as they get close to losing some seats in 2022?

a rhetorical question. pete, you have some hot things happening on our streaming platform fox nation. i love the movies on there. i love the sappy holiday stuff. >> you go to fox nation and find awesome christmas movies. they are doing it right. we're here in phoenix, arizona for the america fest. a celebration of the greatest country in human history. i'm here with kayleigh mcenany,. we have a wrap up off what happens on the main stage. we're hosting right after "outnumbered" with a lot of great guests. i spoke yesterday from the main stage. she is speaking tomorrow. an amazing list of people who

spoke. tucker and judge jeanine. it is all on tape. it will give you hope about the future that young people do love their country, that they are -- they are awake to the woke culture and want to be informed and educated and ready to fight for it. it is really inspiring and we need a little of that right now. >> harris: she loves events like that because she sees versions of her younger self in these people. great to have you in focus. have fun. we've seen a shift since people started getting together this colder season, hospitals reaching capacity again and now in soef places new lockdowns imposed. >> we're in for a world of trouble i'm afraid in the next month or two. the virus is not sick of us, it has thrown us a new curveball and we have to be ready to hit it. >> harris: that means we have an entire game to throw its way.

let's rock it. the new restrictions of covid-we're american public could see as we await tomorrow's announcement from the president of the united states. we don't know yet exactly what he will tell us. dr. marti mccare eave -- marty makary is in "focus." are we about to see a rematch between hillary clinton and former president trump? get your popcorn, people.

day. there are projections that say it could happen with the virus that seems to be doubling in most places where it's been every two to four days. >> harris: the nih director francis collins. the united states is seeing nearly 130,000 new cases of per day. many americans plan to travel during the winter holidays. also a federal appeals court has lifted the stay on president biden's mandate on private businesses. the larger ones. osha has extended the compliance deadline to february 8. however, many businesses and republican governors say they'll challenge this decision. florida governor ron desantis calls the new wave of mandates insanity. >> we will not let anybody lock them down. we will not let anyone take their jobs or not let anyone ruin their businesses and not

let anyone close their schools. people will be able to live life and be able to make their own decisions. i cannot believe that something that started with 15 days to slow this spread now almost two years later you are seeing lockdowns and closures. we'll continue protecting people's individual choices and freedoms. >> harris: white house press secretary jen psaki with these words as she announced plans for the president to address the nation tomorrow on omicron spread. she tweeted in addition to laying out the steps the administration will take, the president will be quote issuing a stark warning of what the winter will look like for americans that choose to remain unvaccinated. dr. marty makary fox news contributor, professor of health policy and management at johns hopkins school of public health. so the president and when he talks tomorrow i say this all the time i hope he is flanked by scientists. if you look at the polling people are starting to lose faith in whether or not he should be the person giving

this messaging, doctor. >> well, i'm not sure his medical advisors are giving him good advice. they have focused entirely on vaccinations. that's important for non-immune adults. those showing up with the hospital at delta. people are conflating omicron with delta. omicron is a more mild infection. it is virtually impossible to contain a highly contagious virus during a viral season. we know the damage of profound isolation. we have to bring attention to therapeutics. i hope that is what the president focuses on tomorrow. >> harris: dr. siegel and i on friday ramping up to this weekend before we found out the president was going to speak was talking about the new pill by pfizer. what else is out there? quickly take us through it. people wonder if i go to the hospital do i know what to ask for, will they know? >> pfizer's pill cut covid deaths to zero, merck's pill had an up vote at the fda

external panel three weeks ago, what is the fda waiting for? that cut covid deaths almost to zero and flu fox mean has been out there for years, 10 dollars, it cut covid deaths by 91%. no one knows about it. our public health officials are not talking about it. there is no data to the contrary and not like hydroxy and iver mek tin. those are new mon clone always. they need to be out there. we don't have enough out there and need to procure more quickly. >> harris: why don't we? >> poor planning. it still is poor planning. we could do a lot more right now. >> harris: amazing. governor desantis is florida

made the antibodies at 25 sites and it grew that was months ago. all right. let's move on. last week vice president kamala harris told the "los angeles times" the administration didn't see new variants coming. dr. anthony fauci had to contradict her yesterday. >> we definitely saw variants coming. i think when was not anticipated was the extent of the mutations and the substitutions in omicron that is unprecedented. you wouldn't have anticipated that. we anticipated there would be variants. >> harris: i legitimately want basic science reading done at the white house. why do you think we need a variation of the flu shot every year? because there are variants. this is basic stuff. >> i don't think the vice president was referring to

amino acid substitutes, just poor planning. four seasonal coronavirus viruses circulated every years and cause the common cold going on for centuries. this will do the same. the fifth seasonal coronavirus. we should have seen it coming for sure. >> harris: wow. dr. fauci again with this about the future of masking up. while we're flying. >> are we going to get to the point we won't have to wear masks on airplanes? >> i don't think so. i think when you are dealing with a closed space even though you have a good filtration system i still believe masks are a prudent thing to do and we should be doing it. >> harris: dr. makary. >> if dr. fauci wants to wear a mask forever he should go ahead. no problem with people wearing masks. not everyone will have a same risk tolerance as them. the risk of a fully vaccinated american is 1 in 25,000. if they get to live their lives

they're comfortable with it. the risk is not equally distributed in the population. the one person that does show up in the hospital fully vaccinated the average age is 73. we need to recognize colleges shouldn't be having booster mandates as a pure reaction to something with no data to support it. >> harris: lots of nuggets from the doctor. maryland governor larry hogan went after the growing number of schools across america shutting down. >> it's a big deal and a terrible mistake and something we're very opposed to. shutting down an entire school system of kids that have already struggled with disanswer learning for a year is just outrageous and wrong. >> harris: some of the kids may not catch up for years. they may be out of high school before they can start to catch up on the learning they missed and have to do it out of their own pockets. >> we have damaged a generation and it is tragic. kids don't have a say in this. right now we have to recognize a study out of brown university

found profound cognitive verbal and learning performance reductions in the kids during the pandemic versus pre-pandemic. this is data we cannot ignore. it will catch up with us. >> harris: quickly i have a dangling question from our earlier conversation and it has to do with how long it takes before your body has shed those things that would help us fight omicron. when you talk boosters you are like no more booster parties at colleges. make sure the older folks have them. what are the priorities with the boosters? >> priority with boosters should be those over 65. those over 50 with a risk factor get a booster. we're chasing antibody tighters and public health officials are fixated on those levels when we should consider t-cell immunity. it is not measured easily and effective against omicron and delta both.

>> harris: they aren't saying your kids need boosters yet. >> the data is not in. if a kid is fully vaccinated. anyone under 30 fully vaccinated are zero deaths. you can't lower the risk of zero deaths further with a booster. >> harris: with anything. prayer always, powerful. most powerful thing to me. >> yes. >> harris: doctor, good to see you. california's governor finally addresses the smash and grab spike finally. liberal scrapping jail time for juveniles convicted of felony crimes. a get out of jail for free card. >> i love the threat to democracy argument. blame joe manchin all you want. this is all on democrats for pushing such a massive bill without a mandate.

>> harris: left wing media outlets going after joe manchin. they aren't done yet over his no vote on the white house massive spending spree. that's what he said. you have to see what happens on the floor when they take the vote. some commentator saying it could spell the end of democracy. ♪♪ and a new seat at the table. ♪♪

>> the issue of crime and violence is top of mind throughout not only the state of california but all across the united states. highlighted recently by some high profile retail theft operations, the organized retail gangs, these organized retail mobs. >> harris: california's governor finally addressing the smash and grab crime spike plaguing his entire state. his solution. he will spend $300 million. he says that hard-earned taxpayer cash will go to help law enforcement and small businesses fight crime. he also says millions more will

go to prosecutors to help them, well, actually prosecute. but this comes as ultraliberal los angeles d.a. george gascon continues to push for initiatives to keep the criminals out of jail. gascon recently launched a controversial diversion program for juvenile offenders. >> governor newsom supports the change in the through reduced the amount of money -- increased the amount of money necessary to commit theft and he endorsed george gascon. it is one reason why gascon upset the law and order d.a. the governor has not revoked that support despite gascon's continued soft on crime approach. the latest. juveniles charged with some fell east will be asked to apologize to victims instead of going to jail and also drop charges against juveniles

accused of burglary, assault, arson or sexual battery and calls it restorative diversion or youth and follows a policy of emptying the jails. >> we also used to give up on our youth by charging them as adults. we stopped the practice. 200 young people have been impacted by my policies. the direct prosecutors who stopped charging children as adults. >> people can be robbed at knife point, cars stolen, doctors sexually abused but if they are under 18 the teen will be encouraged to apologize but not face jail. >> the public they have the worse d.a. in los angeles county history. >> his agenda is to empower criminals to do what they want to do by not punishing their crimes. >> opponents have filed a

recall petition. they have five months to collect 580,000 signatures to force a recall election. >> harris: is that forced apology from the criminal supposed to come with regret? mercedes schlapp and brad woodhouse. great to see you both. mercedes, i'll start with you. i was sort of being facetious that the d.a. in l.a. want the criminals to apologize. what is that? it is talking people out of accountability. >> true. look, i will tell you at american conservative union and when i worked at the trump white house, we worked closely on criminal justice reform issues. but i have to tell you, the

first priority is always public safety. secondly, you want to be able to match the crime to the consequence. and when you are saying a slap on the wrist and it will just be -- you will be able to give an apology that won't be good enough. you need to find the right balance with juveniles in particular where there would be consequences of jail time that would aappropriately matched to their crimes and providing educational and rehab programs to support juveniles that come from unstable, abusive environments and poverty. covid has added to the stress of what these juveniles have gone through. with that being said public safety being the top priority, with that being said, these organized retail crime is absolutely unacceptable. governor newsom has taken too long to address these issues.

>> harris: brad, is it just going to work this way? two different messages the governor of california where it is running rampant, the smash and grabs, is saying crime is bad and gascon that is seeing rashes of them is saying love the criminal? >> i don't think anybody is saying love the criminal. in this country we call them juveniles for a reason. juveniles are treated differently than adults. i don't know if this l.a. policy is something that is appropriate or should work or if it's being described accurately on this program. but i will say this. governor newsom is getting more money out to prosecutors and police is exactly the policy president biden pursued and why they passed millions of dollars in grants in the american rescue plan. it was a bill that every republican in congress voted against but i guarantee you that's part of the resources going out in california and

being announced by governors all over the country as a result of president biden's leadership. >> harris: in many of those liberal-led areas they had defunded and reallocated money away from those programs and police officers now who have to double down and fight some of the same criminals. the liberal media are showing their true colors apairtently after senator joe manchin announced he is a no on president biden's massive social spengd plan. when host put it this way. what's worse, manchin is killing the biden legislative agenda and perhaps the future of american democracy or he wasted most of this year dragging the whole thing out to do it and wasted half of the time democrats control congress and the white house? the "washington post" jennifer rubin wrote if manchin is no on build back better and voting biden is done. democracy is hanging by a thread. hard to think of anyone more

destructive. listen for the disappointed sigh from an abc news panel. >> some breaking news, senator manchin just said he is firm no on this legislation. >> harris: a gasp? okay. and joe manchin -- joe concha with this response. >> the whole democracy died today because of joe manchin thing is the kind of thing that we are used to hearing on other channels and social media. attaching the words racist and racism to everything. it tends to lose its impact when you say it over again. now it's to portray manchin is the worst person the world has seen and declaring democracy is dead. >> this is not over. i would not characterize it the way you have described. what i said yesterday in a two-word tweet is keep faith. i believe there is a way to get there. >> harris: i was reading the

words of other people who say it's the end of democracy. those are democrats like yourself? >> what i'm saying is that i would not describe it that way. there is a path. senator manchin was on a radio program today talking about terms that might be agreeable to him. i think there is a path. i don't think it's the end of the world. we'll get there. 81 million people voted for this agenda just a year ago. >> harris: it's the swamp and sometimes how they do business and negotiating in public which is something manchin said he wouldn't do. >> sadly only 38% approve of this build back better plan and it is not the end of democracy. it is democrats being -- it's the rasmussen poll which has got it right plenty of times. this is not the end of democracy. it is the end of democratic control. manchin, i have to say, is looking at his constituents of

west virginia who don't want more spending. ridiculous amounts of spending not deal with the issue of inflation that biden will be blamed for. not dealing with the covid pandemic that is out of control under biden and they are not dealing with the chaos at the border. again a biden responsibility. something he has not dealt with. >> i bet you a steak dinner that build back better gets past and manchin votes for it. >> yes, manchin will try to find a way to tailor down the package and will align himself with the democrats. i do agree with you on that. >> we'll get the yes because 81 million americans want us to get to yes. >> that is not true. they don't want this package. >> harris: if he wants to run again. >> they voted for this package when they kicked your former boss out of office. >> no, they didn't.

they didn't want this from the democrats. no they didn't. >> harris: all i heard get back into this conversation there was a steak dinner on the line. when you guys get to the steak dinner save me a bite. >> we'll invite you, harris. >> harris: she is back. hillary clinton suddenly all over the tv lately. she needs attention. a lot of people are seeing a lot of meaning there. 2024, anybody? plus there is this. >> joe biden and joe manchin. >> they are acting like they can't hear me. >> the vice president gets testy during an interview. her staffers hit the panic button saying nobody can hear you but clearly she could. wait until you hear what she said. jimmy failla in "focus." there he is.

>> harris: hillary clinton is going after donald trump in a flurry of interviews recently. >> you think our democracy is under continuing assault by the

former president. i think he poses a real clear and present danger to the united states. and having lived through that presidency, when it came time to write a political thriller with my friend and collaborator i would draw from the reality we all have experienced. >> harris: so her present day media blitz is fueling speculation she is testing the waters for a potential 2024 presidential run. team trump clapped back saying perennial loser hillary clinton ap

what i'm bothered by in that interview is that the democrats, this administration, they have such an entitled attitude when it comes to black support. don't forget this is the same charlamagne show where joyou ha problem figuring out if you are for me or trump you ain't black. kamala did don't start talking like a republican like he is not entitled to question what's going on in the administration that is crushing working class americans. so the whole point here is that kamala has a huge authenticity issue and bled beyond republicans and why the administration isn't polling well with independence. charlamagne won't take them at their word on anything. >> harris: it seemed to be at that point when you just -- that wasn't the whole interview. as you listen to more and more of it they were trying to stop

this and she wanted to speak up but when she did, i don't know that it made a difference. >> no. that's the thing. she hit him with the old oh, you are a republican. no case to be made for this bill. it raises inflation, it raises taxes, at a time when americans are struggling. this is the financial equivalent of throwing a drowning man a sofa. stop it with this bill. >> harris: the white house doing a big cleanup on aisle six after the president accidentally gave his vice president a job promotion during a commencement speech. it happened before. >> harris: harris is a proud howard alum. might have something to say about delaware state. >> harris: called her president biden. it had already happened. this not the first time as i mentioned biden called his v.p. president back in march.

>> listen. the guy who had speeches or sign language interpreters who has to take what joe says and turn it into worlds because they aren't real words nine times out of 10. i don't think it is a sign of cognitive decline. we've seen those signs in other areas, fair or unfair if you are the oldest president to hold office, he is holding office in his late 100s. if you say the wrong name people will say oh well. i think he says president harris on purpose because it makes him seem more appealing. you watch biden, this guy is a mess. you hear the term president harris and it's like joe, get back, we need you. i think it's genius. >> harris: interesting. last week when she said we haven't talked about running in 2024, even the white house is floating out they're running in 2024, yeah, okay. >> stop it. they aren't running -- they

aren't running a 5k in 2024. stop it. >> harris: jimmy failla, you will be so funny. you will kill it on new year's eve and grateful that you stopped by the "focus" to talk about the serious stuff and make us laugh at the same time. have a good weekend, my friend. it is only monday, not the weekend.
