moving. joe: build back better left behind. as the senecas home for the holidays, pushing through the progressive plan, democrats playing the blame game, that is coming up. alicia: vice president kamala harris makes another media misstep this time getting into a heated exchange whenreal pre. just days after president biden again referred to harris as president. >> president biden: all kidding aside, of course president harris -- when president harris -- a virtual tour of a vaccination center in arizona not long ago. i took public confidence in the backseat. president-elect harris -- occurs today for the same reason. joe: she snapped at charlemagne when he suggested joe manchin is pulling the strings. >> is the real president? joe manjula joe biden? >> charlemagne, it is joe biden. no, no, no. it is joe biden and don't start talking like a republican about asking whether or not he is president. it is joe biden and i'm vice president and my name is kamala harris. tammy: charlemagne said he liked this version of the vice president. what is your take on this? >> one thing that is missing, she didn't giggle, she didn't laugh through any of that. i think maybe her biggest problem is joe manchin was president she wouldn't be next in line but when you do this kind of argument that insists you are the vice president and state your name you're losing the argument. this is a fascinating display once again when it comes to temperament, when it comes to having a defense of, she's talking -- has a lot of influence. you can really win and take over this argument when you face and expect that question and handle it with grace and even humor without giggling and own it and push back with confidence as opposed to weird self defense of. alicia: we almost didn't get that answer because her aid jumped in, something was wrong and charlemagne didn't buy it, did he? >> that aid is simon sanders who announced her resignation a couple weeks ago and she jumped in trying to prevent the question from happening. did the vice president no favors but what is profoundly scary, one of the main questions this administration is getting is who is running the country. any other leaders in any advanced countries get asked such a question? anyone else find it disturbing? don't answer that, here's another question being asked, will a ticket the received 81 million votes, the most in us history, are you running for a second term? we see a poll this week, 22% of the country want mister biden to run again. we are not 11 months from the inauguration and the funeral plans are being floated for team biden and inflation at the four your high, that is horrific and skyrocketing violent crime, the border is anything but secure, the perception of the administration, the perception that president biden is too old, too incompetent, this plan is not equipped to be commander in chief. alicia: there are slips and there are slips. in this atmosphere with the president continuing to refer to the vice president as the one in his job, that has got to be concerning. >> when we get to elect our leaders so we know who is in charge or making those decisions, it is a fair thing for a lot of americans to seriously question that not just because of the bizarre things president biden says from time to time, some of these decisions are completely out of touch with what ought to be done and out of touch with reality. earlier today, you made a good point somebody, a very good description but what was in place of it, this business, this idea of snapping at the questioner and accusing the question of being republican reveals not only the testing is on her part in desperation on her part but how out of touch of ar. it is not republicans who are so exercised about joe manchin but kamala harris's own party, the left flank of her own party, joe manchin has taken control of the company and it is absurd, it is 50 some senators who have serious reservations about this wack job proposal the biden administration is putting forward, put inflation on steroids if they go along with it. for her to accuse this guy of being a republican pushing republican talking points, you're concerned about joe manchin. alicia: normally with a man like that either would have spoken to him ahead of time or they wouldn't have known what his attitude or his approach would have been, there would have been no need for miss sanders to stop the interview. it shows you the lack of either professionalism or they expect an interview to be easy but the fact they didn't see this coming is shocking to me considering who they were speaking to. >> for cleanup by the harris team, the covid problem, she said we didn't see delta coming, on advice and direction we relied on, didn't see delta coming, or omicron coming and there is more it in a response to fox news her team said the vice president's comments referred to the mutation, this administration new mutations were possible. it is the reason we ordered extra tests, extra gear and extra ppe. it is reason the president, vice president and the entire administration, early and often, the best way to get on the other side of the pandemic is to get vaccinated. we were and continue to be prepared. one more time with this, they are trying to clean things up at a time when folks are starting to work. tammy: we all make mistakes and can get ahead of our speech but she elaborated when she said they didn't know. she through a variety of people under the touch, with anthony fauci saying the science we relied on didn't know that. make sure why they didn't know, it is a remarkable -- that was the honest answer. it is possible but hard to believe because the average american every year you get your flu shot and you know the virus mutates. what we have to expect, the good news is omicron is a mutation as they do where they get more contagious, killing the host is not a good idea and become looser. we see this trend with generally people know it. this is why americans become afraid. we hear from people, seem to be related to mister magoo and telling us what we need to do in our lives and seeing the backtrack, reverse, clarify and i think that does not engender trust and confidence by the american people. joe: i always tell them when we do homework at home, raise your hand before jumping in. steve: 9 you do that at the dinner table that night? joe: i remember two words that mister biden said, when i heard them at the time, that takes a lot of chutzpah to say and that is stop and control this virus, you elect me i will stop it, i will control it. no human being should make a promise like that but this is the same guy who said elect me and i will find a cure for cancer. what do they say about expectations? make low expectations, and instead i'm hearing about cures for cancer and controlling a virus that will mutate and cannot be controlled and we have more depth under this president than we did the previous year under donald trump and no vaccines at last check in 2020, for the type of therapeutics we are seeing so they know they are failing on this, and in the los angeles times this isn't helping. tammy: diplomatic whiplash from defunding to refunding the police, racing to contain rising crime but is the sudden change of heart too little too late?

what is the media's role? what has been the media's role and what have they done to make it worse? joe: the media is a broad word and on the local level you don't see people complaining about the media. opinions are thrown into the reporting. a 30 minute newscast you see every night they are reporting the news. if someone breaks into a story, smash and grab or somebody's murdered or staffed or attacked, that will be presented without opinion, then you get weather and sports and that is the end of your broadcast, local media if you watch it in the cities they have been covering this stuff and covering it well because you don't have the gas bags on the air telling you it isn't happening or people promoting like alexandria ocasio cortez, the congresswoman who denies this is happening despite what you are seeing on screen. even when you try to spin this there are cameras everywhere and social media makes this go viral in a hurry. any politician sees this they can't deny it is happening or downplay it. the images are the images. gavin newsom dropping all this money at the problem now has nothing to do with him morphing into clint eastwood. it has to do with the fact the governor knows how to read polls. when it was fashionable to march with black lives matter or relax bail laws refunding the police newsom and so many others were at the front of the line. they are -- their drinking bases fed up with it. it is time to act like they care about the problem but police forces, talk to cops, they are demoralized across the country. you see resignations going through the roof and criminals and felons are important, too little too late for gavin newsom and other leaders to talk tough because we saw the movie in 2020. charlie: that is a great point. you couldn't have said it better. gavin newsom is no john wayne. has the recovering democrat or liberal, you always have a unique insight into the mind of people. i am not talking about gavin newsom but democrat or liberal leaning voters. do they want this murder and mayhem in their neighborhoods? tammy: obviously not. what is interesting is they believe a lot of that rhetoric was rhetoric for a campaign, that it would never happen. then people vote down the line when they are on the ticket and go about their business but that is the most dangerous thing for politicians to do, to lie to the population and have it become so apparent right away on issues that affect local small businesses, safety of people in their own homes being able to go to a park, these are things they can't lie about. social media, just like at the border, if they keep images away from you they would do but in this case they can't. when you are looking at california and here's what happens when you hear about this, this is an indication of the democratic party nationally realizing this is a terrifying reality and they are going to get blown out next year unless they reversed themselves and it comes down, orders from washington, newsom and london breed don't believe it. this would continue on even with the destruction of the city. it goes down to the background of what i experienced on the left that there is a genuine malevolence for the average americans what toward this country and what we stand for and we've got another year to deal with this but we are making some headway here. charlie: they are wildly out of touch even from their own voters. moving on, are more lockdowns coming?

alicia: it is tough to say. i will start by saying i got my booster really, fully vaccinated, all of that and we have a policy at fox where you get vaccinated, show proof of it or get tested. having said that we have found out a lot about the way people handle disease and being told what they have to do. we learned a lot. we are not at the beginning anymore. i find it interesting that here in colorado, very democratic governor has made a lot of news. a little over a week ago he said the emergency is over. we are still working on it, still fighting it, we still want everyone to get vaccinated but the emergency is over. he's not big on mandates. he has refused to institute a statewide mask mandate leaving up to municipalities to handle it and he was pushed back quite a bit by his critics over the course of the last week. even on cnn by anderson cooper, he said the emergency part is over because now we are in work mode and i think you have a good point. folks don't really, they made up their mind. some people may change their mind and that is great but when you try to push something that hard it sometimes has the opposite effect. tammy: i want everybody to hear this from fauci, once again suggesting the goalposts are going to be moving. listen to this. >> that is certainly on the table. it is a bit of semantics in that fully vaccinated for the purpose of regulations and requirements that people have, considered fully vaccinated, whether or not the cdc will change that, it is on the table. i'm not sure exactly when that will happen. but i think people should not lose sight of the message that there is no doubt if you want to be optimally protected you should get your booster. alicia: we were hearing something different when this first happened. these are the experts, the same head of the nih infectious disease department, anthony fauci and yet it seems every day there is something new. with this, what it add to some reticence as we wait? because each week, next week maybe we will need to eat a pack of gummy bears. hard to know where the goalposts will be next time. charlie: a great point. these mandates, doctor fauci himself has done incalculable damage to people's trust and faith in the vaccines or in anything for that matter because he changed the story so many times and don't forget he has never been elected to anything but he is the most power-hungry bureaucrat we have ever seen in our lifetimes and because of that, because of the fact that he thinks he knows everything and he knows what is best for everybody even though he has no authority whatsoever, has never been elected to anything to make these decisions, he has gone about it and politicized this to the degree that you really do have people taking personal decisions and having to scrape out there politics to make an intelligent informed decision when really, doctor fauci, all he should be doing is talking about the science and then shut up. tammy: i don't think that is ever going to happen. alicia brought up jerrod pollock of colorado, this might be the end game that she now wants to really push universal mail in voting even though new yorkers rejected that last month in an election. is it possible they are desperate for the panic to continue so that they can have the emergency and once again do things with an election? could it be that problematic for them? joe: charlie: we are not 11 months from election. i will be quick. this is one of those moments, fully vaccinated will mean three shots. original two vaccine shots plus the booster in a matter of two months max as these cases continue to go through the roof and we have pfizer's ceo talking a fourth shot already but here's the bottom line is i believe it here. the antiviral pills against covid from pfizer and covid is what we should be focusing on. pfizer saying it is 90% effective in preventing hospitalizations. it is effective against omicron. let's get this on the market not next week, not tomorrow, now. covid is never going to go away. we need to learn to live with it freely and treatments will only be the game changer. tammy: that is what americans want, we take it seriously but we will not be manipulated around politically. thank you, everyone. the fate of biden's progressive agenda is unclear as the senate punts its spending bill into 2022 and even aoc can see the red wave coming next. ♪♪ saturday night ♪♪ that makes it all right ♪♪ yeah ♪♪ d me felt more energy in just two weeks!

i think it was golding is where the tribe eventually totally closes in on each other and eats each other alive? i've got the conch which always offended me. a political football, the democratic party, we all see it. how ugly will 2020 to get for democrats in terms of the civil war? democrats is the only one with the conch is aoc or bernie sanders, the only ones that have any sort of anything interesting to say and the ones that soak up all the attention. the problem, she's got a great point. her ideas are crazy and there is no mandate for what she's talking about and take over every aspect of american life and hand the power to the federal government she does have a good point about establishment democrats, they are willing -- they won't break the glass for her agenda items or any of the things she wants done but when it comes to doing something about election reform they are willing to go and break the filibuster in order to get something like that done and i think she's got a good point and it reveals enormous disconnect between people like aoc, bernie sanders and the establishment and if they get nothing done which is what is going to happen here you will see an incredible route in november. joe: 70 seats is what you are seeing and 5 candidates needed to retire nancy pelosi, put the house back in the hands of the gop, the senate is 50-50, you need plus one to make mitch mcconnell the senate majority leader but democrats were handed a straight flush. they have control of congress, the senate and the oval office and they are leaving 2021 scratching their heads and why didn't we get it done? may be they got too greedy, there is good because in their stomach instead of trying to push through one piece of agenda, then the next, they put it all into this bill and now they are paying for it. tammy: they lost seats in the house. it is a balanced senate. it was a message of work together, stop the craziness, stop the extremism and they ignored that which is what the democrats do but aoc is in a difficult position because the last election, the most recent off year election republicans did well, they picked up seats in new york. a candidate in buffalo said sanders and aoc went to campaign as a right in over their preferred candidate. nobody wants what the progressives are selling. americans are against it aggressively including democrats so average people looking at manchin as an example of representing the democratic party. that is interesting. that doesn't make interesting television. you have television networks and magazines, the extremists who are for the progressives making it seem as though they are the be-all end all. that has never been the case and even more so with it. you will see democrats working on recognizing if they don't do these crazy things it will be better for them in 2022. that is the right road. problem is the white house doesn't know what it is doing, they don't have that kind of approach to help them stay on their feet next year. joe: we only have 30 seconds but i wonder about the disconnect. the hill did a survey of 59 newspapers before the 2016 election and found 57, 59 endorsed hillary clinton and that got her a set of steak knives that a concession speech. i or as we go into 2022 from a journalism perspective is there a disconnect and we pay too much attention to aoc because they have big social media followings but talking about the game americans want them to talk about in terms of lowering inflation, gas prices, crime and the border? alicia: we know from polling, i live in the middle of the country, talking to americans out here, what we see on twitter, some of those arguments that are happening online is not what people are talking about, they want to live their lives, they want to go to work. in two weeks the midterms primary season will get underway big time. the senate comes back january 3rd, i'm going to be very busy as we all will be. things are just getting ramps up and aoc is correct partly because history is informing her her party is in trouble. joe: love to go longer but with no help from the federal government texas, don't mess with texas, taking matters into its own hands at the border, governor greg abbott's message to the white house as he breaks ground on the state's own wall, that is next. before discovering nexium 24hr to treat her frequent heartburn... claire could only imagine enjoying chocolate cake. now, she can have her cake and eat it too. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn? this unprecedented action is needed for one reason and that is because the biden administration has failed to do its job as required by the constitution, as required by laws passed by congress to enforce the immigration laws of the united states of america. tammy: texas governor greg abbott not mincing words advising the biden administration of dropping the ball, the lone star state using state funds to complete the border wall project biden left unfinished. this as cvp numbers reveal a 140% spike in border crossings compared to this time last year. i will begin with you with regard to those border crossings and encounters here. todd homan was on "fox and friends" earlier and had this to say. >> let me be clear, less and encounters means more calories. the numbers are not decreasing. you talk about 1.8 million encounters under president biden, 400,000 got aways, we are talking 2.2, 22.3 illegal entries under this president on purpose because they purposely unsecured this border. alicia: purposefully unsecured this border? what is your take on that? charlie: it is hard to argue against that point when you look at the decisions the biden administration has made a part of the world were donald trump did, there was a lot of controversial, a lot of the decisions he made about the border but in the immediacy, he secured the border, he fixed the problem of people coming over the border and making that horrible dangerous trek which is not only bad for america but horrible for the families that make that trek and president biden purposefully went and undid those things and re-created this crisis. watching this and covering this topic for 15, 20 years i'm amazed at the misreporting and lies that get told when we get to talking about immigration, in particular illegal immigration but one of the biggest lies and we will see this in next year's election is this idea that illegal immigration is just an issue that motivates republican voters. that's not true. illegal immigration is a concern for democrats and republicans. we also saw in the 2020 election an important issue among hispanic voters. i think democrats played it too far and they will get burned badly when voters, i do think we are getting to the point voters have had enough of this. alicia: our correspondent bill milujin said officials don't necessarily want a wall that goes from san diego to brownsville. what they need are these areas, specific and important locations to create choke points because they are so understaffed. tammy: we are dealing with different reactions where people might have different solutions but what it comes down to is there is universal agreement that what is "happening now" is unacceptable. nobody is thinking this is great news. even the biden administration effectively keeping images away because they know it even looks horrible and reminds people of the issue when it came to the haitian migrants emergency those photographs from our drones but what is interesting here at the point about the hispanics, new york city allowed 800,000 noncitizens to vote but one democrat was going to vote against it after the ball came out noting hispanics were evenly split when it came to the progressive versus conservative agenda. she voted against it because those voters couldn't be counted on. i think this will be a surprise to the democrats, immigrants make this nation great, they are escaping socialism, escaping big government that keeps them under control and we want immigrants here because they are the ones that help us for the american conservative agenda and we wanted done the right way. alicia: we talk about midterms coming up there are people who live in states nowhere near the border, this is still a concern to them as well. charlie: every town is a border town, not like they go to lawyer and they say lawyer. they go to other parts of the country from north carolina to maine to washington to minnesota and so on. i hate to be captain obvious but the border is not closed and the dhs's alejandra mayorkas says is an people are sick of being lied to. look at the videos we see, the border is like 7-11 at this point, they had locked the doors but anyone anytime and tom homan, 2.3 million people entering the country. put that in perspective for a moment. you know what that is? you take the entire city of boston, multiply it by three and that is what you get. you get more if you combine boston, washington and denver, the population of those three cities is how many people have entered this company, this country at this point. it is a perception the administration can't spin, president who still hasn't gone to the border and a vice president who is mia in terms of her number one job and it will cost them at the polls just like inflation and crime and gas prices and afghanistan will as well. alicia: we will continue to cover it but everyone needs to stick around, big saturday flop next. ♪♪ very merry christmas ♪♪ ♪♪ i hope it's a good one ♪♪ really, really, really, can't wait to unwrap. ♪♪ joy. fully. ♪♪ use a single hr software?
