♪ ♪ >> that was australia welcoming in the new year with a spectacular fireworks display and we are just hours away from celebrating new years here in the united states as the world ushers in 2022 with uncertainty and amid the ongoing covid pandemic. i'm kayleigh mcenany, and this is "outnumbered." joining me today is kennedy, lauren simonetti, fox news'

medical contributor dr. nicole saphier, and in the rituals hot see is jimmy family. welcome, everyone. president biden has urged the supreme court to keep his mandate for private businesses with more than 100 employees as protests continue across the country. members of congress are asking the high court to block the order, blasting the mandate is a blatant overreach. at the same time the latest covid surge shows little sign of slowing down. on thursday, the united states reported a record number of new daily cases for a second day in a row. where is president biden? vacationing at his beach house for the 34th time, a notable move, especially for a person who campaigned on the promise of getting covid under control. kennedy, he promised that he

would step down the virus. but it feels like a virus is kind of shutting us down which it should not be because we know that omicron is more mild. but if we look at blue states it looks like biden did the opposite, covid a shutting parts of the night stays down. >> kennedy: yes, absolutely. they have been going along with that, this is the state that will never let the virus go and unfortunately we have not been told the truth about the nature of the virus, how it is changing, how it is transmitting, how it is more contagious, and finally, for the first time, just a few days ago the president said that there may not be a federal solution for covid. i wish that they had acknowledge that point from the beginning, because that was a false premise upon which he was elected. he said that i'm coming to get control of the virus. that is what kamala harris said when she was running as his vp. we will get a handle on this thing, we will shut down the virus. either they have been incredibly

incompetent in terms of their briefing, they've got it on the nature of the virus and its various variance, or they are flat out lying. either way, it is bad news for people who have not got in the treatment that they desired and needed in order to stave off the worst effect of the virus, monoclonal antibodies are almost impossible to find. especially in big cities. and the testing fiasco. good luck getting your hands on tests because you need more than one to conclusively tell you whether or not you have the virus. >> kayleigh: yeah, and doctor, you have to ask where does this all end. there does not seem to be an end point. but you look at the new cdc guidelines about quarantining, all of a sudden unvaccinated equals unboosted at least with regards to who needs to quarantine. in other words, a fully vaccinated used to mean two shots but now they say you need a booster as well in order to not quarantine. then you go over to the side of

the children wear a 5-year-old has to give vaccinated eat inside in new york. what if you had a 5-year-old without the virus, had no symptoms and has natural immunity but is still forced to be vaccinated? it does not seem to have an end point, does there? they're sure it is not, but there's a lot of mixed messaging coming out of the white house, administration, and cdc. it seemed that they're playing catch-up, president biden admitted there is no federal solution and the best they can do at this point be transparent with information, be transparent with recommendations and allow states, businesses, and others to do what is best for them and their families. we are talking about the vaccine mandate at the beginning of the segment. the concept behind vaccine mandate and health care settings, that's always been based on the fact that when you mandate flu shots it does decrease the amount of hospital

acquired infections. that was a parallel argument for the vaccine mandate for covid. they were using data for the spring and the summer, which showed that if you look at health care workers who were fully vaccinated, there was an 80% reduced risk of infection at that time from the vaccine or the circulating variance, therefore, in parallel you would have less for transmission and the less vulnerable patients being impacted. that data is outdated, it does not fit in the current scenario. here we are. we are now winter, almost in 2022, we have omicron circulating, we have a waning vaccine efficacy, even with the boosters. yes, it may increase your antibodies temporarily put it in short lived. at this point, the vaccines only have about a 20% chance of preventing symptomatic illness. it does not make sense that when you are saying only vaccinated can enter in establishment because at this point the unvaccinated have almost equal chance of having the illness as well and transmitting it. the best reason to give vaccinated, the best reason to get boosted, is to lessen your

risk of severe illness that but otherwise and you in the hospital. but i can tell you that the complete lack of acknowledging that natural immunity is dangerous, especially as it pertains to have her children and our young adults. it is ever again for the administration to continue in this mind-set of pushing, pushing, pushing these vaccine mandates vaccine mandates member that they should be targeting the individuals who are unvaccinated when you have about 25% of the unvaccinated are still over the age of 50. those are going to be your higher risk. focus on them. focus on the 2% of people who say they are still unable to get a vaccine because they are disabled somehow. they are extremely high risk for severe outcomes, but rather they are pushing the employer-based mandates and that is not where it will count. they need to be more targeted and they need to allow the country to move forward with this more mild variance. >> kayleigh: i think that is exactly right. lauren, i think maybe we will have a chance at rolling back the vaccine mandate it will go

before the supreme court. what we know the president biden dead is he used a narrow provision of osha to cram this through. the last time this was used was 1983. we have a really good piece of analysis here from national review that we will pull up right now. it says this. "osha has authority to set certain health and safety standards in the workplace, it would be stretching its authority to be used as a means to facilitate broader public health goals." this is interesting, loren. just as july russell research service updated a report on the emergency standard and noted that osha has rarely uses authority in the past. not since the court struck down its emergency temporary standard in 1983. in other words, by chance to cook and struck down, which is good news for business. >> lauren: there will be oral arguments on this january 7th. the best thing a politician can

do is learn how to be nimble. a leader knows how to change with the times, if you will. not just be vaccine mandate or bust. as the courts will decide whether the osha mandate is constitutional, right? look at what is happening. in new york, there's winter upon us. if you are foreseen, and new york is, the private sector to have your employees vaccinated are you going to have those workers able to provide heat for your homes and businesses this winter? what about the police force? and first responders? can they ensure our safety? you need to look at the ramifications of this. also the fact that many businesses who have maybe 90 employees might not want to grow to over 100 because they don't want to deal with this chaos. businesses are confused, people are confused, and politicians should lead by it being nimble,

because the virus is changing day by day. that is why we are all confused. >> kayleigh: and president biden is the antonym of nimble i would suggest. jimmy, i say this one for you. i was excited to bring this topic to you, i was sitting here, oh, boy, i'm sitting in florida, my home state, it is a freedom loving state run by governor desantis, but guess it was in my backyard? aoc. she is at miami beach wining and dining. national review tweeted a picture of this, you cannot make this up, fleeing the mandate ridden state of new york for the freedom loving state of florida. jimmy? >> jimmy: first of all, i am in the great state of nashville. i'm in nashville, tennessee, anyway. it is nice to be around four sober people for the first time in 24 hours. nothing about what aoc is doing

surprises me, because nobody pushing these public health initiatives is adhering to any of them. that is the part that has caused them to lose the locker room and taken us to the precipice of the place where americans are fighting each other harder than we are fighting the pandemic. it really is shameful. i will defend aoc, because she is not as we would say the brightest bulb. she's only in miami she heard the electoral college was playing in the orange bowl on new year's day. she doesn't quite know what the heck she is doing down there. but it's embarrassing because the headline right now everywhere in the country, everywhere in the country, should be that deaths are down dramatically. from this omicron variant. we should lead from a place of confidence with this variant. yes, it's more contagious, but yes, deaths are way down. we still have a sense of fear in people right now that where i'm from new york, you know this, kayleigh, when you get on the subway right now people are more upset with the guy not wearing a mask than the guy who's not wearing any pants. it is not supposed to work that

way. >> kayleigh: is true, such a double standard. kennedy, now i was just checking on twitter before coming to air. aoc loves ron desantis is trending. >> kennedy: who wouldn't want to be in florida? wouldn't you rather be outside enjoying life with your friends? you know the risk, you took personal responsively for your actions, people care. they care about their families, their neighbors, no one wants to get anybody sick. to dr. saphier's point, these mandates are not the thing that are going to work, especially when they are outdated, especially when a lot of testing does not work, and the science is showing us that she has done the research, 20% efficacy for these vaccines. i think they have to stop: a vaccine because that is not working. >> kayleigh: fascinating information from dr. saphier. coming up, vice president harris stumbles through a question on

inflation. we will recap some of the vice president's most head scratching moments from the past year. ♪ ♪ hirty grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks! (sighs wearily) here i'll take that! (excited yell) woo-hoo! ensure max protein. with thirty grams of protein, one gram of sugar, and nutrients to support immune health.

♪ ♪ >> kayleigh: inflation has been one of the biggest crises the biden administration has faced this year. vice president kamala harris is facing scrutiny in it yet again. this time after struggling to fully grasp inflation's impact on the american people in a recent interview. >> was it wrong to consider inflation transitory? these price spikes he meant it will us for a while. >> people are paying for gas,

paying for groceries need solutions to it. >> kayleigh: i don't really follow. there's a "wall street journal" poll showing 66% of people say that inflation is causing financial hardship in their life. that's a big number, is routinely one of the top economic issues. yet the messaging has been so, so bad from the white house. first they called it transitory, then there was the house campaign arm, they put out this beauty of a chart on their twitter feed celebrating a 2-cent drop in gas prices paired the y-axis is humongous to make it look like a big drop. it is not. then you have kamala harris who cannot answer a question on it. i do not know what is worse, the charter or kamala harris' answer. but they are all bad, jimmy. >> jimmy: i feel for people, the democratic party has

demonstrated a real indifference to the plight of people struggling with inflation. like you said, prices through the roof, gas is horrendous, even now prices have come down a little bit but do you know how much that crushes the little guy, kayleigh? forget about the drivers, think about people on my radio show who like to sniff gas. no one talks about them. the truth is, kamala harris is so far in over her head when it comes to this position. the democratic party warned us about this during their own primaries, if you remember, when she dropped out before the iowa caucus even happened. she was at the time pulled in, i believe, behind the omicron variant. she was not popular in her own party. her one success as a vice president is going to be that she is the person who effectively killed identity politics. i don't think we are ever going to appoint a person to a position that high in leadership just because ever again. make no mistake about it, she was appointed just because. joe biden was very upfront about

the fact that we wanted a woman of color. listen, there are probably 10 million women of color who could be doing this job better than her. but at a time when americans are getting crushed, it is not reassuring to see her take a question on inflation and react to it like a stoned kid who did not expect to run into his parents when he came home that night. she really does look like the welder, like, what are you doing here, inflation? it's embarrassing for her, but it's scary for everyone else. >> kayleigh: you have a wild radio show, jimmy, don't think you snuck that sniffing gas, and passed me. i picked right up on it. kennedy, look, it is astounding how bad of a communicator she is. i think about what an asset vice president mike pence was it was always a message and he was out there and you can count on him. for a national political figure to not be able to answer so elementary, it just continues to confound me.

>> kennedy: you know, kayleigh, i have a soft spot for hoosier politicians. you had me at hello. he was at the max asked this very question before things given. over a month ago she was asked about inflation and she gives this long-winded answer about how people are paying more and then this word salad gobbledygook about the supply chain. she doesn't even understand the correlation between the supply chain issues and prices right now, but that is not what is driving inflation. what is so confounding about this vice president is she completely advocated her responsibility on the border because she said she had to investigate the root causes. i wish he would take the time and investigate the root causes of inflation and really try to understand that. that has to do with monetary policy and the fed flooding the entire economic system with u.s. dollars. so you have more dollars in

search of the same amount, or if you work, goods, which makes prices go up. in addition to that, this insane spending also exacerbates inflation. this administration has defined a way to cut spending, which they will never do. until they do, inflation is going to continue to go out. this is why it is so frustrating to her staff, because she won't read it should make the same mistakes over and over again. >> kayleigh: she definitely does not read her briefs. we do, as promised, have a highlight reel. some of the moments from the vp this year peerless by the first one from the border czar. >> do you have any plans to visit the border? >> vice president harris: i'm here in guatemala today. at some point. we are going to the border. we've been to the border. this whole thing about the border. we painted the border. we've been to the border. >> you have not been to the border? >> vice president harris: and

i have not been to europe. i don't understand the point you are making. >> kayleigh: dr. saphier, that was a moment? >> dr nicole: that was quite a moment. if someone from a border state, born and raised in arizona, and i figured the border. it is insulting for the people of the southwest for her to laugh it off and shrugged about coming to the border when there is a border crisis. there are people crossing the desert every single day, many of them winding up in hospitals because it is such a severe track, and as we saw, we have people massively congregating in a time of the pandemic. they did not have effective testing, they did not have isolation and quarantine, so no, it's a slap in the face to americans when you have her laughing when she is the one tasked with fixing the major problem. >> kayleigh: laurent, here's another moment. we had a bunch of them and we can only fit in so many. let's roll the tape.

>> just a few days ago there were funds allocated to israel and it hurts my heart because ethnic. >> vice president harris: your voice, your perspective, it is not being oppressed. it must be heard. >> kayleigh: leaning into a narrative of ethnic genocide. >> lauren: i'm going to say this, i agree with the message that hillary clinton gave to the democratic party. they need to pay attention to what win selections and that midterms are upon them. all of these missteps about major issues for american people and for the democratic party, which is supposed to be about working-class americans. inflation being one of them. they are just not, they are being aloof, they are trying to deny that things happen when reality is in front of us and i'm not sure they can continue

to deny and be led by the left anymore. maybe 2022 is the year that we actually return to some sense of honesty and normalcy. >> kayleigh: i hope so. i don't have much confidence in the vp. coming up, the top ten best and worst things president biden did in his first year in office. ♪ ♪ liberty mutual. they customize my car insurance, so i only pay for what i need. how about a throwback? ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ you're a one-man stitchwork master. but your staffing plan needs to go up a size.

meantime, and look at the best and worst things president biden has done in his first year as president. according to a "washington post" op ed, among the best the president trilateral security agreement with australia and britain that will hopefully curb china's power. president biden has celebrated covid vaccine delivery. and the trillion dollar infrastructure bill as his best. now, for some of the worst on his list. biden's vaccine mandate that he post in the midst of a short stage of labor. he also only use the words border crisis in history. number one is his disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan. so, kayleigh, you've been in the epicenter of this administration as you going to various crises. what has been the worst and most damaging for this president question what do you agree that they number one is the botched

afghanistan withdrawal? >> kayleigh: oh, no doubt. when that happened i immediately said this is the definitive turning point for the biden presidency and i do not think there's any recovering. people sat back, well, this is foreign policy. it's a huge deal, we lost more than a dozen servicemen and women, but they said that may be fighting can get past it because it is foreign policy and people care most about the economy. but, no. this was the turning point, when people lost all trust. the pulled and plummeted i will say, very impressed you were able to find ten best things about the biden presidency. i was sitting upstairs and i cannot think of one. well done on that front. >> kennedy: jim, i know you like to reach across the aisle. i know you try to find the bright side, so what is something positive that the president has done in your estimation? >> jimmy: listen, man, you

need to applaud his resolve. despite the low poll numbers he's looking forward to the year 2021 happening. he has that on his docket. this really has been the worst rookie year in the history of the presidency. i don't take any joy in saying that. but to kayleigh's point about afghanistan. okay, their obsession with perception over reality has been their biggest challenge at every turn. whether it was afghanistan claiming it was a success when we lost 13 service members and left thousands of americans behind. whether it was saying the border is not a crisis. we debated semantics instead of the plight of real people. that is his biggest problem as a leader. his second biggest problem, which is ultimately why he's polling as low as he is, is that kayleigh's old boss is not on twitter. trump being off twitter has left all the attention on biden's job performance. i really do believe that a trump was on twitter right now, biden

will be pulling about 8 points higher because the media will be able to talk about whatever "saturday night live" actors the president was mad at. we would not be focusing on inflation at or the border. long story short, i take no pride in saying it, but there's a reason let's go brandon is the most versatile chant in the history of chance. one, because he sucks at his job and two, because he's a boring president. when you are a boring president you do not generate content. if something silly happens it never goes away. we will probably be chanted let's go brandon at weddings three years from now. >> kayleigh: we will see if the last that long. will he have hunter neuter this year, jim? >> jimmy: [laughs] in a perfect world, he would. the hunter biden story, again, it's a perfect example of media malfeasance. hunter biden isn't selling paintings at a price range that exceeds a monet.

$500,000 for a painting, kennedy, if you do the prices high meet the painter. >> kennedy: lauren, what do you make of this? has it been a mixed bag for the administration or have they had a tough first year? >> lauren: it was a tough first year, and i love getting that tweet that it was like the best first year for any president in the past half-century economically. in the talk to any real person who is living in this economy? anything will look good after a lockdown. it's like they are so tone-deaf. it is unbelievable. if i were going to pick the worst thing that he did this year it would, number one, p afghanistan. but i want to highlight the vaccine mandate, because what the mandate did and i'm pro vaccination, but with the mandate that was two full. it pitted us against each other, which is the worst in the you can have an tough economic times and tough social times. it also exacerbated inflation, which we all feel because of the labor shortage that it helped to

create. >> kennedy: absolutely right. lauren simonetti, fox business is known so lucky to have you. well done. dr. saphier, very quickly, you have 10 seconds. worst in the president has done. >> dr nicole: like you had to do is look at the first half of each year. he's the one who created the divisiveness when it came to this. he was shaming the unvaccinated, saying it was a pandemic of the unvaccinated. now, thankfully democrats are getting covid some of we can stop shaming people because this is not about being ashamed, it's a highly contagious virus. it is not about if you get it, it's about when. we need to stop shaming and president beating down on biden's why we do it. >> kennedy: vaccinated democrats are getting the virus. a stunning new development in the story of the truck driver who was sent into 110 years in prison for a deadly crash. that is next.

one of the worst things about a cold sore is how it can make you feel. but, when used at the first sign, abreva can get you back to being you in just 2 and a half days. be kinder to yourself and tougher on your cold sores.

>> kayleigh: the governor of

colorado has commuted the case of the truck driver whose case has garnered national attention. he was sentenced to 110 years of prison for a crash that killed four people that happened in 2019. he said his brakes failed causing his truck to slam into two dozen vehicles. a judge sentenced him to a mandatory minimum. the prosecutors filed a motion to reconsider after public outcry. a petition to have this end is lower and gathered over signatures. several high-profile figures spoke out in his support. yesterday colorado governor and estimates reducing the sentenced to ten train with eligibility for parole in 5. now, interestingly, jim, the people who been most vocal in support of him had been kim kardashian and i would say she has been the most effective criminal justice reform advocate

in the country. your thoughts? >> jimmy: there is no question that kim kardashian has gotten more done than most people in congress. i'm not just saying that because if pete davidson has a shot with her we all do. she has been a super-duper effective bringing attention to stuff like this where the system is failing people. obviously, it's a horrible story, a tragedy, i was a former new york city cabdriver as you know and drivers do encounter stuff like this, sadly. the car fails them or those of vehicular failure in this case and the guy should not have been doing that kind of time. i'm happy to see it. i consider this one of the most inspiring things that come out of our justice system, as awful as the story happens to be, because we've seen so many instances this year where people have gone free who probably should have died in prison. i'm just talking about bail reform laws and stuff like that. on some level, awful story, inspiring outcome. >> kennedy: does that mean

that we need more judicial discretion here, kayleigh, because the judge said there was no choice here. there were mandatory minimums for people who were killed him because of the outcry and lack of intent, they should have had some impact on the sentencing. but when your hands are tied, you have no choice. most people are not that lucky to have the governor step in and commute their sentence. >> kayleigh: yeah, in this case certainly you would want more judicial discretion. even the charmer who convicted him said hey, this was too much. even living victims and family members of deceased victims called this out and said this is too much. but, generally speaking, i don't like the idea of a ton of discretion on crime like we talked about yesterday, drive-by shootings where they are trying to use racial equity to get people like her sentences. i think the trend is going in the wrong direction. however, this case, wow, there needed to be some discretion because this man did not do

anything intentionally wrong. >> kennedy: kim kardashian, i now want to follow some of the people that she is championing every dr. saphier, did the governor of colorado get it right? >> dr nicole: it seems to be a big problem when you have 110 years given to someone and that is given down to 10-year, which seems to be the right thing to do in my opinion. there's something wrong with the judicial system when that is being done. you have thousands of people sitting in prison systems right now because of nonviolent crimes. this one, as far as we know. for someone this young, he is 26, to lose his life because of something unintentional, that's a problem. when you have those people who do drive-by shootings, that's the focus, cam and get them out earlier? what about sex offenders? you can be a sex offender in new york and go to a restaurant but you cannot be an unvaccinated child. something is wrong here.

our perception is skewed. i do think we need to focus on the crime itself, violent or nonviolent. and then intention, at the intention is not there, 100 10-year sentence? that in itself is criminal that they give that to that child. i call a child because of a 22-year-old son, so 26-year-old is kind of a child still in my eyes. >> kennedy: he's not a child, he's kind of hot, actually. when he gets out, hello. lorren, will we ever find equilibrium again? we go too far in one way and not far enough in another, the wrong people get out, the wrong people are stuck in a cage, why do we do? is it up to state legislatures and congress for goodness sake? >> lauren: very good question. what kayleigh called an aberration, it was. i look back at the crash scene

deo and it is so scary to look at. then i heard his testimony. he was 23 when this happened. he was a kid. she was so emotional, he broke down, he was so sorry on the stand, he didn't pull at your heartstrings. then to hear the governor say, well, you are not blameless. he is getting 10 years. your sentence is disproportionate, especially compared to other inmates. this is an inspiring story that we can try to figure things out in the new year. and maybe come together, because as kayleigh mentioned, the victims families both dad and deceased, celebrities, a lot of people chimed in in his favor. >> kennedy: there you go. i know a lot of juries have got in the right. maybe prosecutors will follow suit. just ahead, they media has been wrong a lot this year. a panel on the biggest media misfires of 2021. that is next. ♪ ♪

>> kayleigh: mainstream media outlets falsely reported on several of the biggest news stories of the year in 2021. are you surprised? i'm not. the top ten examples of the liberal media reporting false or

misleading stories include pushing the false story about border agents using wimps against migrants. the mainstream media's coverage of the kyle rittenhouse trial. misleading the public on the affects of ivermectin. and 60 minutes every in a deceptively edited clip between governor ron desantis and a reporter that suggested a false paper plates scheme regarding vaccination distribution. let's have some accountability with a capital a right now as we end the year 2021 her dr. saphier, you're from a border state. i know you saw the headlines on abc, cnn, msnbc, we will pop them out. that border agents were whipping migrants. it simply was not true. we also have a sound bite here that we will play from chris cuomo, no longer at his job, and in msnbc anchor on this matter. >> we saw the image of at least one border patrol agent using a

weapon, he was effectively trying to lasso some of the migrants. you see that picture there. >> as an image, to me, it does smack of a bygone era. of slavery. >> kayleigh: bygone era of cuomo. dr. saphier. >> dr nicole: the way they media perpetuated that was disgusting, reckless, and an embarrassment. for anyone who even knows a border agent, we are so grateful for the immigration police there and the border agents, they do everything possible to not only keep americans safe but they do everything they can to keep the migrants save as well. they are out there day and night in the heat, and treacherous scenarios, putting their lives in danger, and then again, just like we were seems immigration agents in the northeast when they were calling to defund them, it is a complete disrespect and all you will see is increased illegal immigration and crime because they are no longer going to want to be in the shops anymore if we continue to cut their funding and

completely disrespect them. kayleigh, i do need to say that while that was a horrific example of one of the media's failures this year, another huge one was the constant reporting on case counts and anecdotal deaths when it came to covid-19, because that has kept the american people in this state of hysteria and panic. despite the fact that we are in a place where, yes, there are rising cases, however, hospitalizations and deaths are way down. americans are panicked again, hidden inside their homes, double banks, boosted, testing every day, and keeping us perpetually panicked and hysteric and we need to blame the media and the administration. >> kayleigh: yeah, that is a big one. lauren, another big one. let's take a walk down memory lane on the kyle rittenhouse trial. >> we saw the image of at least one border patrol agent using a web that was effectively trying to lasso some of the migrants -- >> kayleigh: we had the wrong

clip there. we have the new one? okay. we do not need it. we all remember what happened with kyle rittenhouse. we have a graphic that will pop up of all the false narratives in the kyle rittenhouse. he crossed state lines with a weapon, that he wasn't from kenosha or had no family in the state, the list goes on and on. heat that he was a white supremacist, that was intimated by our own sitting president back when he was a candidate. the list goes on, lauren. >> lauren: yeah, you never really hear the correction of the narrative publicly. you never hear the i'm sorry. the networks are going to get sued. i reckon back to, do you remember "the new york times" the editorial page editor james bennett? remember he, he is in charge of the editorial page, and he ran an op-ed by tom cotton that was talking about the urban riots. right? he left his job for that.

that article, that op-ed, offered a different point of view then they media, then what the narrative was at the time. you look at all these moments and no one is correcting the way it has been done. it is like to keep trying to cover it up. people are losing their jobs because they are raising their hand and say well, did you actually think about it like this in a space where you are encouraging different point of views. >> kayleigh: yeah, then there was the ivermectin controversy coming to maine where we were told in oklahoma hospital was overcrowded with peo people whod overdosed on ivermectin them, that gunshot wound victims were not getting in. it was a false story line but perpetuated because it was oklahoma, which happens to be republican. >> jimmy: we are living in the death of shame when it comes to the media. we really are. in terms of their willingness when it comes to advance narratives, to sell their audience confirmation bias.

people are turning into here, well, we know better than those dumb trump supporter's who were taking horace d wormer. it was not true. but there were not interested in the factual discussion, they were there to get their daily dose of moral, intellectual superiority. the thing that bothers me the most about the media is that as someone who cares. i spent so much of my adult life driving a taxi. when you do, you interact with people of every ethnicity known to man. you interact with people from everywhere on the planet, and to be honest from you, from a couple of other planets that you have not heard of. i need you to know that the world is not nearly as obsessed with race as the media has perpetuated the narrative that we are. that is the part that bothers me the most about the media and about this administration. they are so quick to invoke racism with no regard for the toxic effect it will have on society. and with no restraint for whether or not there was any fact to support the narrative. the thing that drives me so

crazy about it is they've set the country on fire, but then there have been these other moments that contradict the narrative like waukesha, wisconsin, where we actually absolutely no there was a clear motivation of race because this idiot who drove his car, whatever, through a parade had posted at great length repeatedly on facebook about the need to kill white people. yet that was the one time the media did not want to invoke race? here's what we should do in 252. the need to be so much better if everybody who was on camera had a score under their name and like a game show. and when they said something honestly they get 2 points. you turn on joy reid and you see her talking about race with a score of negative 622 and you realize you don't have to take it seriously. >> kayleigh: there are so many to hit close to home when i was at the podium. apparently trump went to st. john's church, russia bounties on heads of troops of afghanistan, trump did nothing about it, false. i'm a continue, we have to go.
