to be as rapidly spreading as it did. >> that is not going to age well for joe biden. the president claims the new variant claim out of nowhere even of the white house warned everybody about it weeks ago. another cdc director says he is full of it. watch. >> we anticipated this. this is what we have been preparing for. there have been times where other countries have the virus before us on the one and a half to three day range and so this is exactly what we anticipated. >> also being holed up in a long way to once to get a test. and the shortage added at home once. but let's not play into biden's doom and gloom winter of death message. there is a very good news on the covid front. a new study says omicron as an 80% lower risk of hospitalization. and even though biden doesn't want to talk about this, the fda just authorized potential game changing antiviral pills to treat covid. they greatly decreases hospitalizations and deaths. they could become available in the next coming weeks. so i think we'll have to acknowledge here we are in boxes. we don't want to be in boxes. we hate being in boxes. we resisted being in boxes. we were told to be in a box out of an abundance of caution just to get us through the holidays and hopefully we will be back to normal. when we return from site holiday. greg gutfeld, it is great to see you. your thoughts on the covid developments. >> i find a heartbreaking, no mike that i be close to harold. the love and the time of the pandemic is destroying us. there is so far away yet i can see him. i can almost touch and, but i won't. you know it's amazing, how far ahead this show has been on a lot of things. for example, we were the first show i think to talk about the travel ban and to talk about telemedicine. and yet there seems to be all these epiphanies happening on other networks and fauci saying we should focus on the severity enough a number of cases. and cnn is like wow, that is a great idea. we have been saying this forever. that is what we set about omicron is that you are going to see a lot of cases but not a lot of severity. and so the cases are mild and then that leads you to the next thing. what is the government and what is fauci doing with this ten day isolation thing? if everybody is being tested and getting omicron, why are these forced to stay at home for ten days? because we know with the right thing to do is, and that is today to cut that down to three or four days unless people get back to work. especially my staff on good filled who were sitting at home and watching me right now. omicron is the next to the last scene in the movie after the climax with the townspeople think the hero. the villain is seemingly defeated. but then that last scene the villain rises up and then he is easily vanquished. this pandemic movie is about over. the estimated running time is going to end on february 1st. a lot of us are going to have omicron. we are going to be fine. we just have to work together and also be patient with our befuddled government. one last movie analogy. remember with "rocky" is apollo creed versus rocky within the next sequel they were working together. they became partners. that is kind of what we have to be of the government now. they need our help. they are like a blind man in an unfamiliar room. and we are in that room, but we have to offer them guidance and help to get to the right decision. we actually know how to take the lead and announced that this ends on february 1st. >> all right. and you really think your staff is at home watching you right now, greg? >> they adore me. unlike your staff who just hate you with a passion. speak out my staff is definitely not watching me right now. harold ford jr., do you reciprocate greg gutfeld's longing for you? >> a lot of love between us on the show. i'm glad to be back around the proverbial table. and absolutely. i would say this, jesse, about the substance at hand. i think we are kind of innate goth you moment all the time around this thing. anytime we have a politician that says something that we may disagree with or may differ with something or subsequently be contrary to something he or she may said, we jump on them a little bit. i think that science is changing and i think where greg is most right is that it is going to take people, going to take business leaders, every day workers, everyday families to be the one to lead us through all of this. and if we get through this variant here, i think we will find ourselves because of what scientists and doctors are saying, that thing is so transmissible and herd immunity could rise so quickly, but that should not persuade anyone from getting the vaccine, those eligible for getting a booster. because i think we don't know fully what is in front of us for the next several months. i hope and believe and pray that this is the last stages of it, but if it is not, one thing is for certain, our best weapon against the virus, against those who may have wanted our virus to get to us in the weibel to keep schools and our economy open is to get vaccinated. >> i for one enjoy jumping on politicians, harold, because they work for us. and katie, i think it is worth pointing out this is the second time that this has happened. earlier this week, kamala harris said you know, none of the science told us this was going to spread and come so quickly. fauci had to come back and say what he said i know the cdc director had to tell the president no, no, no, we warned you. we didn't see this coming. what is going on over there in your opinion? >> i think the biden administration is getting eaten alive by the bureaucracy. because the left believes in big government bureaucracy and they believe in putting everything in one basket. so over the past year, the biden administration has been focused on vaccination, which is fine, but they have been not focusing enough on treatments and getting test out the people and now you're seeing the results of that as the vaccinated and the unvaccinated continued to get this disease. and when it comes to what greg is saying and giving the politicians and the government a little bit of a grace, may be, and patients, i think a lot of people are over that and there comes a point where you have to say no. you have to say no, i'm not going to show my papers to get into a restaurant. no, i'm not going to do x, y, and c. it was actually not just about the economy in virginia for the governorship. he was about getting rid of a lot of these obsessive covid regulations when the majority of the country has moved on. the white house panicked about omicron and then they turned right around and said that we don't know. anthony fauci so that you all need to go out and get a test before christmas which then floated the testing sites with healthy people who don't have systems. so people who have symptoms can no longer get a test. they created the crisis that we are in now and they have no plans to get out of a other than mandating americans to do even more than they have artie done so far. >> wrapping it up, pam. >> i think everyone has been way too easy on the biden administration here, and i'm glad that i'm going to bring the hammer down. because they said they were going to follow the science. they said they were going to crush the virus. and you and i all know that the south african site on november 8th that we have a new variant and we knew at christmas which is also always on decembey possibly say they didn't know? and if there weren't a million reporters today saying you better own up to this, it surprises me. if this would've happened to a republican administration, that would be the only thing we talked about today. they have some big problems there and i don't think they're going to get solved. they're going to be saved by the february 1st bell, though. because i do think we will actually see people -- a lot of people are going to get this. i'm sorry for the people that are going to have a lot of discomfort or may be even hospitalized, but the data coming from south africa and the u.k. shows that it probably will not be that way. what's really causing the problem is what greg mentions, which is the cdc protocol that if you test positive, you automatically after quarantine for ten days. that means that nobody can do anything, you can't go to work and can't go shopping and can't do anything. so we ought to figure out a way to pressure the cdc to look at that. the day the u.k. went from ten to seven. a singer will say, they own everything that is wrong with the testing, and it touches everybody. if you have people standing in line and 30-degree weather for four hours and that leads the news as it did last night on network news and daily this morning. lead npr. this has permeated all across the country. so you will see those approval numbers on coronavirus go down. >> when dana perino is dropping the hammer, harder the got felt and katie, watch out, white house. you guys better get it together. coming up, the squad smears against joe manchin going to a whole new level. wait till you hear their latest attacks. ♪ ♪ as i observe investors balance risk and reward, i see one element securing portfolios, time after time. gold. your strategic advantage. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ experience the power of sanctuary at the lincoln wish list event. thinkorswim® by td ameritrade is more than a trading platform. it's an entire trading experience. with innovation that lets you customize interfaces, charts and orders to your style of trading. personalized education to expand your perspective. and a dedicated trade desk of expert-level support. that will push you to be even better. and just might change how you trade—forever. because once you experience thinkorswim® by td ameritrade ♪♪♪ there's no going back. ♪ ♪ >> numbers of the squad continuing fair temper tantrum over joe manchin opposing build back better. and right on cue, they are playing the race card. >> is tremendously frustrating for me as a black man in america because once again, it is an example of joe manchin, as a white man, showing that he doesn't care about black people. he doesn't care about what he knows. he doesn't care about immigrants. he doesn't care about women. and he doesn't care about the four. >> cnn pushing the race for. sucker should be fired on the spot. in the white house doesn't seem to be too concerned with the attacks coming manchin's way. >> is a going to be a -- approach with dealing with us before and some the other democrats in the party who have been very vocal about blaming him. is there a shift in strategy as this all blew up over bullying? >> again, i wouldn't characterize it that way, jackie, but i would tell you that senator manchin is somebody who has won many tough fights in west virginia and a doubt he is a withering flower on the side of the road. >> so jessie, i'm going to use a golf analogy because i understand you enjoy that sport. so it is like the left media hacks in cnn, they only have one club in their golf bag. and they try to play 18 holes with one club. and it is a sand wedge called race. and any time something goes bad, that is the club they whip out. >> i think that analogy was great down the middle of the fairway, gutfeld. but you are right. what you said at the top, there is a race war brewing within the democratic party that is going to backfire spectacularly, and i can't wait to watch it. what kind of tactician slanders someone as being a heartless white they get for not voting the way they should vote? what are they going to push joe manchin into the arm of the republican party? so that democrats don't have a majority in the senate and they can't confirm judges for the entire year next year? you don't smear someone you are trying to persuade. this is idiocy. joe manchin i think is 60% approval rating in one of the reddest states in the country, trumped one up by 40% of her joe biden, there is likewise, there is like half the state is under the poverty level. like 20% of the state is under the poverty level. i looked at bowman's district, new york 16, average salary there, 75k. average salary in west virginia, 45k. average house and his district, half a million. average house in west virginia, $100,000. there is actually more whites and blacks in his district, the squad guy. and it is not a stone's throw away from the very person's lakehouse near westchester county. so i don't know where he is getting off acting like he represents the most poverty district in the country. manchin is just fine. he was put there to represent the people of west virginia, not to vote with the squad. he is voting with his people, not his party, and that is how it should be. >> dana, i think the word of the day is demand. if you don't have a huge majority, don't demand stupid things. and i think that is what happened, with the squad does is they made unreasonable demands that george with the reality of the democrat predicament in the senate. it wasn't going to happen. >> the squad cracks me up. they have such little self-awareness. it is like michael scott levels of self-awareness. they think that them going after joe manchin is going to hurt joe manchin, that is hilarious to me. there was an article in "the hill" today in which he quoted several staffers saying what needs to happen is joe biden needs to get really tough with joe manchin. and he needs to taken by the collar and shaken and tell him or do you think that is going to work? joe biden's popularity in west virginia is probably -- i can't even imagine what the number actually is. so they are doing themselves a huge disservice. but of course, what you said, what they should have done is to say -- biden could have said i know we wanted to do all of these things, and thankfully we got the senate, but we only have it by 2. but therefore, the scale back our clients, let's and it would probably be like 55% approval. instead, they are just spiraling downward. >> harold, you are bright man. some say almost as bright as me. could you argue that the squad provides a beneficial role by delineating the moderates and the party? they make everyone else look sane by being there so the democrats don't mind having the squad throwing a tantrum now and then? what do you think of that? >> you know, there is some truth to what you are saying. i think democrats, we had to sit back. when jesse water gives insightful advice about how we should talk about race and how we shouldn't talk about race, we should be paying attention. in the white house should have defended joe manchin. he is no racist. what the country once, democrats and republicans alike, is more action and results and not the kind of actions. there are extremists in both parties. i think the marjorie taylor greene's and the squad and all, they kind of cancel themselves out. what we really need is a serious conversation around the things affecting most americans. congressman bowman, he is upset about the build back better not passing. i think the better way to exert themselves and exert his energy is to figure out what is bothering people like joe manchin? democrats who represent people who need a lot of what is in this bill. why is it that joe manchin can support it? sit with him and understand and negotiate and compromise. the whole notion that the predicate of our nation is built around compromise. and i think some on both sides of the i'll forget that. i think the white house did a disservice to senator manchin by not defending him. he is not a racist. you may disagree with his policies, but he is not a racist. >> katie, we can't let cnn get away with this because this wasn't figurative language. this was literal language that they always foment when they get the chance. you think this network would have learned a lesson about creating racial conflict. the any opportunity that they can find, they are going to gin it up for clicks and i guess that is their profit model. race war. >> they want to try to scare people into his accepting their agenda. leaving the party drugs and going over to the republican party for the exact reasons that joe manchin cited for not voting for build back better. inflation in the economy. democrats should be thinking joe manchin for maybe saving some of joe biden's legacy on the economy because the bill doesn't pass and will impact the economy as i maybe would happen if it did pass. but for years, the squad has been living beyond its political means, and they have been able to do that under biden because biden has been appeasing them. and he has chosen a site here. moderate biden is the one still throwing joe manchin under the bus. he is not defending him. his white house press secretary saying that attacks on him are essentially perfectly legitimate. there wasn't a condemnation when processor showed up at his house in d.c. and walked into the car. and it's not just joe manchin. you remember when senator sinema was chased into the restroom by activist and filmed in the bathroom? and joe biden was asked about and he just kind of laughed it off and smirked and said it was just part of the job? biden in the administration had taken a site here and it is not with joe manchin which is why republicans trying to get him to switch parties. >> there you go. all right, the next. outrage over truck driver sentenced to 110 years after a deadly accident that even the d.a. says is way too harsh. ♪ ♪ [ joe ] my teeth were a mess. i had a lot of pain. as far as my physical health, my body was telling me you got to do something. and so i came to clearchoice. your mouth is the gateway to your body. joe's treatment plan was replacing the teeth with dental implants from clearchoice.

i think we are all like yeah, it is excessive. it is nuts. and is excessive primarily because you are talking about intentional harm and it is clear he had no intention in doing this. was he careless? i don't know enough about it. he says the brakes failed. but this is about intentional harm. this was an accident. but the story is -- when you put in that context, the violent abusers that have been released in our city, new york city, only to reoffend and actually murder people, right? throw elderly women down the stairs and then they die where they go out and kill their spouse, this is happening a lot. and then you look a like januart five years. it is just so bizarre. other than that, the absurdity of art sentences is just beyond belief. other than that, this is obviously just ridiculous. >> westwards, jesse. >> he shouldn't serve 100 years but he should serve at least ten. he has an opportunity to take and offer end drive this weapon, a rig like that fully loaded is a weapon and drive it into the back of another semi. that would've saved lives. instead he decided whether it was intentional or not to swerve left and just nail a bunch of passenger cars killing four people and injuring dozens. so there was a little intentionality. he was going twice the legal speed limit down a mountain pass. steep grade. through the brakes on. burned up the brakes. they are going to burn up when you're going twice the limit down a steep mountain pass. he needed an interpreter at the trial. i don't know how well his english and, could you read the signs? i don't know. these are the things you just don't know but to say this guy should just walk after time served, no. i like the fact that families are going to come and they're going to petition the court. that is fine with me. if they want a softer sentence, that is fine. he rejected a plea deal too. so they're going to cut them a deal and he said no, he has terrible lawyers probably. but one of the reasons you have to do mandatory minimums is because of some of these soft judges were giving lenient sentences to people like sex offenders rating kids and giving them probation. it is what it is. >> next, anarchy at the airports. believe it or not, during the holiday travel surge, a plan to ban alcohol make it -- to see my ancestors' photos was just breathtaking. wow, look at all those! what'd you find?
