babies and kiss hands. >> katie: kiss babies not shake babies. [laughter] >> kevin: it's early. coffee on the way. did i want to touch on this for just a second and i know we talk about this off camera, too. the president of the united states, such as we are, joe biden is still on vacation in st. croix. as he exits. he is battling frankly for his legacy. even his white house aides describe working environment as draining and depressing. but don't take my word for it. take a look at this headline it reads in part: biden exits battling for his legacy and believing he could have won, which is incredible. and there is more. the belief that biden could have won isn't widely shared in the white house. or among the democratic establishment. where the more common view is that the party would have suffered a much larger electoral defeat and lost even more

congressional seats had biden remained the nominee. white house aides, many of who have been on the jobs hunt since early november, not surprised. described the work environment in recent weeks with words like draining and depressing. i mention that, coming from washington. i know lots of these young people, they come to the city with lots of hope and exception. and then you get four years and then you are out and looking for work. but, i think a lot of americans are frankly disappointed at the way that the president is using the remaining time that he has in office. it's almost as if he did this after they took him off the ticket. and kamala harris lost. >> katie: yeah, i mean, talk about a wild year. we are all talking about the new year it's new year's eve tonight. but looking back on 2024 especially for joe biden has been wild and crazy and the fact that we got a new nominee to the democratic party in late july. after the disastrous debate with donald trump in june. with joe biden, when he was really exposed for being

mentally unfitted and that, you know, it was a verification of the robert hur, special counsel report that came out earlier in february. the white house could no longer deny that this was a problem. you had heavy hitters on capitol hill like nancy pelosi rounding up the troops to try to push him off the campaign trail. and then that sunday afternoon. in july, he just put out a letter on x and said i'm no longer pursuing a second term and that was it. and then from there kamala harris was installed and then she went on to lose the election. >> joey: it is interesting unceremonious nature of how all that wanted ha. nine days before that letter he said emphatically have to suffer ill health in order to drop the race. leaks coming from the white house. people giving these dire, gloomy descriptions. you know, you know who the bush people were. there was some arresting folks he brought. in karl rove is a bush person.

you know who the bush people. were there you know who the trump people are you know who the obama people were. who are the biden people? i mean, he built his administration out of obama and who was it that everyone was looking at saying who is pulling the levers behind the scenes here to usher biden out? a lot of people think it was president obama. how many friends he has. palace intrigue. how many loyalists he has in the white house. i think it was jake sullivan came out with the horizon 30 years, not three or four. all the things that he screwed up will be good things if you wait long enough and forget about them. are there any biden allies and loyalists in there? maybe not. >> katie: not just about biden. the entire democratic party don't know what to do. they have been stunned. they threw everything at president-elect donald trump. the lawfare, the claims about being h hitler. you had barack obama on the campaign trail for biden and for

kamala harris. shaming people into voting for her. and, yet, they lost a second time to trump. they threw everything they h so they are trying to figure out where they go from here as republican party neat a lot of their collision that they need to win elections in the future. >> kevin: i think joey makes a really good point about a lack of loyalty. this is a real problem for some of these administrations in washington. there is an old saying washington is a town of long knives and long memories. and the slightest turn of events can take an ally and make them an enemy just like that. and in the case of joe biden. i was working in rehoboth that day when he decided apparently decided to step down and still he did it online. >> katie: very odd. >> kevin: unusual signature. i can't wait for history to flesh that out. >> joey: are you saying you think it wasn't his decision? >> kevin: just a little bit. >> katie: financial you want a friend, get a dog is a saying in

washington. rough town. zoe joey he didn't fire anybody. his loyalty to them seems to be intact. >> kevin: turn to headlines, 1 minutes after the hour. dates and funeral arrangement's being set for the 39th president of the united states, jimmy carter, after he passed away on sunday former president's funeral begins this saturday before lying at the georgia state capitol for three days. then president carter will be flown to washington, d.c. where his body will lie in state in the capitol rotunda. followed by a national day of mourning on thursday, the ninth. before going back to his hometown for a private bushel remarkable video from lax two planes coming feet from colliding each other on the runway as one of the planes taking off. the smaller plane was a charter flight that happened to be carrying the men's basketball team from gonzaga.

that is scary. meantime police in dallas are looking for a group of thieves behind a smash and grab at a jewelry shop there in just 30 seconds. they stole several valuables. including a gold chain worth $15,000. the store owners think it was a possible fifth suspect working as a lookout. thankfully nobody was hurt there either. take a look at dramatic body cam footage. police responding to a trailer fire in california. this happening just days after christmas. can you see flames blazing from the back of the trailer as officers arrive. now neighbors told them there was a man inside but the door was blocked by flames. so, officers had to breakthrough a window to rescue him. >> hey, can you move over here? where are you? [shouting]

[coughing] >> kevin: quick-thinking. thankfully, officers were able to get the man out with only minor injuries. the fire department says a portable propane heater sparked that fire and got to be careful with those. and that is a look at your headlines, 37 minutes now after the hour. send it over to to my man, joey. >> joey: thanks, kevin. yeah, it was a year of misses from the media. especially when it came to their coverage of biden. after years of calling hunter biden's laptop a hoax, its authenticity was proven in court. remember what they said about biden's decline since taking office? >> cheap fakes. videos of real events that are intentionally manipulated to fool viewers released on rnc opposition research social media account zero independent fact-checking by so-called journalists and spread throughout the right wing ecosystem. and they are being picked up by news outlets that know they are fakes and/or know they are

misleading but post them anyway. >> instead of republicans, you know, focusing on the president's performance in office and what he has been able to accomplish, his actual record, they do these cheap fakes. >> yeah, someone that isn't cheap or fake is fox news contributor tammy bruce and she joins us now. tammy, i can't imagine you have any reaction to this. they didn't know it. they didn't know he had cognitive decline. they didn't know the laptop was real. they were just reporting the straight news. >> that's right. you know, anyone -- any reasonable person knew ranging from the laptop to this template talk about cheap fakes, we weren't the only ones watching everyone say the same thing. the media was then immediately also walching each opener say the same thing. so what that tells us is they, themselves, i would sarg don't even believe what they were saying. that was the narrative. that's what they were to say. that was anywhere propaganda to defend the administration.

and, you know, it's one thing to really believe that. but, it's another when you see all of -- everyone else on other networks. other legacy media repeating that dynamic, which came out of the blue. it was a very strange thing. there was deep fakes and now they have got this race cheap fakes. and embarrassing, i think for them. certainly embarrassing for the country. it showed the audiences which is why the numbers of these other networks continue to suffer, democrats also the want the truth. they want honest information, because their families matter as well. and then they look at this. and it feels like a drumbeat of manipulation and gaslighting and brainwashing. and, of course, we finally have with these photographs of joe biden with hunter, his son and his chinese associateds a lie that was proven a lie by photographs. which they fought to keep out of the public venue until after the

election. so, all through this, they know what the proof is, and their energy is put into cleaning it away from the american people which, of course, is why they are not in power in just a few weeks. yeah joey some of the repercussions that may come from this. there may be investigations. the republicans did take the house. they have the opportunity to investigate. august of these intel officials that sign off on a letter to say the laptop was russian propaganda and we come to find out it absolutely was not. now you have this picture you mentioned hunter and joe meeting with chinese officials. but the rest of those repercussions that evening our lives on a daily basis are democrats not going to take the white house. president donald trump will be the 47th president and he is going to take the white house. you say that democrats maybe don't want this type of thing, but i don't think any american does. where do they go. >> tammy: of course. >> joey: legacy media and people in the biden camp and all of these folks if they have

protected biden and they won't admit that they did it. where does their credibility go from here? >> tammy: it's impossible to go further down. but, there is this quandary. we see it in the newspapers, even on the air on occasions. the pearl clutching about, you know, how did this happen? and you know, we should have -- biden says he could have won and he should have stayed in. and they are looking at each other about the -- i feel they are looking at donald trump as an accident. that, in fact, they are so perfect and they have sole possession of the truth that only looking at the mistakes they made -- and there's plenty. they are never looking at the policy. what they stand for. what they promoted. what the american people don't want. their answer is if we don't want it, we are racist or sexist or homophobic. that's a lie. and the only way they are going to return is by taking the american people seriously, treating them with respect. and acknowledging that they need to report on facts not be

mouthpieces for particular administration. and, you know, people get mad at republicans because, you know, we have arguments about,you know, what the facts are on certain policies and what to do. but that's the way we have to operate. >> joey: yeah. we will find out hot speaker will be. but at least the american people, maybe have a little bit more trust and at least president trump and republicans right now. >> tammy: indeed. >> joey: tammy bruce, thank you for joining us. >> tammy: thank you. >> joey: happy end to 2024. >> tammy: same to everybody. it's going to be great year. >> joey: they wanted a hip pot hip hippot tum must for christm. the party is just getting started in times square. chanley painter is there before we ring in the new year.
