i still love it. >> go, matt schlapp. >> i have to say something about this band-aids on.ogether to raise money for the board. i like that. what would they be getting together to raise money for now? at least there is no harm in that. kind of insulting -- don't even know it is christmas. >> but if you don't have food, you don't care. you just want the turkey. it's a little condescending. give me the turkey. i'm hungry. >> a better is "where the world" just for the video. watching bob dylan -- i watch this once a week. he's in the video going -- like looking around and not even singing. watch it. it won't lift your spirits. >> cyndi lauper is there. the whole thing. huey lewis. that is one of the greatest. i always find -- the ones with the jackson five, his voice is just too high when he was a kid. "i saw mommy kissing santa claus" it is too much. >> the way, the new version is called "i saw mommy testing santa claus." >> not where i thought you were going to go. >> i just insulted a kid with a dying mom, can you help me? >> you are right. it is harsh. even on christmas. >

let's see what matt schlapp has to think, or has to say. of speechless stuart, because you said everything i would want to say and you're talking to me and i'm in florida. so there you go. stuart: i didn't know. >> i am in palm beach and i i he a smile on my face, i'm actually happy, people say things like good morning. it is pleasant. what i would say one thing you hit on, i would hit even more, people are sad. they're down. they're being told we will kill each other with this virus. our kids are told if they take off the masks they will kill their grandparents. we have families still estranged physically because they feel like it is too dangerous to be with each other. this wears people down over time. we've been through this as cultures before. we had world wars. we had huge struggles as people but letting a little thing like a virus take people down. if you look at opioids, the death from opioids are up over 50%. crime rates are skyrocketing in these big cities. carjackings are up 45% in our nation's capital. i live outside the nation's

still ahead we have matt schlapp, steve forbes, an california congressman mike garcia.fault is it. matt schlapp takes that on the third hour of "varney" you're a one-man stitchwork master. but your staffing plan needs to go up a size. ... matching your job descriptio. visit indeed.com/hire >> there's not a single item in the build back better bill that is salvageable. it's a terrible bill from page one to page 2,456. if we have this kind of hangover effect from the debt, i think you're going to see a slow down in the economy. >> he is learning how to deal with omicron with all the variants there's a lot of greek letter in the alphabet and we're pushing forward anyway. if we can get a quarter or two of good numbers on more consumer spending, i think the markets are going to holdup and press sharply higher in 2022. >> there's a growing acceptance that covid is here to stay. it's no lingerie scarlet letter, so next year brings positive, albeit muted returns for the market. >> i think the airlines scheduled to demand but they didn't schedule around staffing. i think they we

. >> as for the democrats american conservative union president matt schlapp agrees with joe rogan whomight see on the top of the 2024 ticket. >> you have the identity politics picking central kamala harris now they have the problem they have to kamala harris and she is terrible. they have to look to the identity politics. michelle obama fits that type of thinking. another woman of color who has good poll numbers. a very interesting idea. >> oh boy, ted, a trump and michelle obama match up? do you think that's in the realm of possibility. >> in donald trump wants to run it is his for the taking and be the nominee of the republican party. it is rather insulting to say a former first lady should win the nomination of the democratic party. who will they look to? they won't bring in kamala harris or andrew cuomo, or -- they won't bring in terry mccauliffe. they have no bench. who will they bring in? i'll make a prediction. i bet one person will be at the top of the list is the governor of colorado because he does check one of the boxes and he is a very successful businessman, very successf

joining me charlie hurt, fox news contributor and opinion editor for the washington times, matt schlapprman of the american conservative union. it seems a bit dramatic if you ask me but is this woman running again? has she no shame? >> i believe it or not think she is nosing herself back into this race as president biden doesn't have the mental or physical ability to run again, certainly seems like we won't run again and kamala harris it was so unpopular, she's more unpopular than a disease, you don't see her and what is interesting is hillary clinton is saying it will be the end of our democracy if the free and open election the american people vote for donald trump again, this is the same woman that concocted the lie the trouble got elected the first time through russian collusion, she never accepted her loss, she loves to powell around with stacy abrams who believes she's the governor of georgia and they're going to lecture me on democracy. >> a little rich coming from the woman who colluded with the russians. what do you think this means for president biden if he already has hillary

matt schlapp, kevin walling, former biden campaign surrogate. great to see you both. he leaned in, took a couple of questions and i don't know what happened, kevin. he got to the point where he disclosed yet again with a disclaimer i'm not supposed to be doing this. >> harris, he was joking with the white house press corps. you will always have a press corps clamoring for my time with the president. we saw it with president trump and president biden. they always want more time and more questions for the president. i'm old enough to remember the trump white house didn't have a press briefing with the press secretary for more than a year and huge complaints from the press corps about that. you will never satisfy them. >> harris: this is about access to the president. and we did not go that long without having access to the president. it was like 24 hours. he talked every time he got on. he walked here and there. it was a lot. it was a lot. matt. >> yeah. look, the problem with donald trump was not that he wouldn't take reporters' questions, the problem a lot of us have

joining us now with reaction as american conservative union chairman matt schlapp and fox news contributorebb. matt, we are hearing, you can kind of sometimes get lost in the weeds. we argue about if fauci should be doing this, that we don't like him doing this, but. clearing all of that out, the fact they are doing it at all, right, we have all kinds of things, also in flu season, this micromanaging of the decisions we are going to make, we are adults, you know, for the christmas time, new years, we understand that we need to think about where we go, how we get there, who we are going to socialize with, but isn't that still our decision about whether or not we are going to take that risk? >> tammy, you know this because you believe in individual rights and the idea that the individual governs themselves. i have been asked by members of the media about my vaccination status, i tell them to buzz off. if i am sick, i will stay away from you and manage my own health care decisions. if you follow dr. fauci's advice, you have to have some kind of public notification. about your health status. w

matt schlapp, the dental and on the right-hand side of the screen is with us now.are looking at democrat run big cities out of control. can you tell me what the political consequences of this are? >> the political consequences is a lot of people voting democrat for decades, that is why we have those big victories across the country. i'm a partisan republican so i am happy about that, all over the country, and in virginia where a lot of my neighbors who don't like my politics all the time voted for glenn youngkin because they think democrats of gone crazy. stuart: a political response in favor of the republicans. we haven't seen much of it. >> these cities, i remember living outside new york city, and happen to a lack inspirational leaders. it will be that type of leader, the people who love their cities, people who love chicago realize poor leadership like lori lightfoot is providing, blaming victims of crime and refusing to call out the criminals, she's been coddling violent criminals since the black lives matter summer violent protests and the consequences are yo

i've reported on how matt and mercy schlapp and matt whitaker, the former acting attorney general, haveegal fund that they've set up for some of the trump aides caught up in this investigation. stockton and lawrence have gotten no such aid. and they also claim to be feeling really abandoned when they watch the rank and file trump supporters who heeded the president's call, went to the capitol that day, and also received no support. one thing i just want to say about paul gosar denying this. when i did the first story where dustin and jen were anonymous he claimed he never met them even though they hadn't been identified. they did in fact meet, and we published the photo of them together on the ellipse on january 6th. and gosar admits he did pursue a pardon for bannon. >> that's also a very useful context. the final thing here is there does seem to be a little bit of a breakdown among some of the rally organizers and we're seeing this with ali alexander as well, who was partly behind that, quote, wild protest. people trying to position themselves as yes, we were there for the peaceable a

"vney and company" is about to begin. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ nobody going to slow me down ♪♪ i've got to keep on moving ♪♪ dave: great to break my stride. we have the november jobs report, big disappointment. >> reporter: tough report. it came in at half the level we were expecting, 10,000 jobs, notable games in professional business surfaces, manufacturing but when you look at the unemployment rate it fell sharply to 4.2%. that is the lowest in 2020, the labor force rose, 54090,000 folks started looking for jobs, 1.1 million of them found them. the head scratcher is people are looking for jobs, jobs are open but only 210,000 were created. i think part of the problem is the jobs many people qualify for don't exist anymore. think bars and restaurants. how does the fed look at this report? that the most important thing was my position is it is a positive. if you look at the unemployment rate and unemployment among black and hispanics, all as metrics fell nicely but they might accelerated table and th
