first anchor and first nation host and joe concha a media columnist for the hill. i had, everybody. i want to begin with where the president is on the pandemic am he kicked off the year with high marks in the polling. fast forward to this moment and the spread of the delta variant and omicron variant, both pushed 8 states to enforce strict indoor mask mandates. >> i will take care of this. i will end this. i will make sure we have a plan. >> and afghanistan the botched withdrawal sparked deadly chaos on the ground in kabul. 13 u.s. serve member died in a suicide bombing at the airport. it was a mad dash to evacuate americans and allies. the president told us he had it under control. >> we are going to do everything in our power to get all americans out and our allies out. >> taking it to america's streets. the defund the police movement led to an explosion of crime in major cities. in california smash and grab crimes became the new normal. in chicago criminals feel confident to stroll into a luxury store and run off with high end merchandise. it's so bad president biden has had to buck some of his own political party and distance himself from the defund the police movement. the supply chain crisis made it hard to find christmas staples in stock. on this issue the president is not making promises he can't keep. >> i can't promise that every person will get every gift they want on time. only santa claus can keep that promise. >> if only he had not said that last part. >> i know! >> there is a piece in the atlantic today i want to talk about. joe biden's year was ruined. whose fault is that? i know you have thoughts? >> yes, sir. all of the bad polling in regards to the president it's not his fault. it was the hand he was dealt. chuck tod on nbc said the buck doesn't stop with this president. here's what is the president's fault: inflation. adding trillion dollars in spending and wanting to spend trillion dollars more. the supply chain crisis where the secretary of transportation pete buttigieg has yet to visit any port on the west coast, east coast, or gulf coast. show you care about the problem. violent crime president biden barely broaches as the commander-in-chief. democratic mayors and a president missing on this issue. in afghanistan did u.s. troops withdrawal themselves? who decided to keep bagram air base not open? that would have prevented 13 service from being killed. the border is like 7-11. it's open 24/7. i could go on but we only have so much time. >> joe, you're absolutely right. the reason independents voted for president biden was to get rid of trump's messaging. but they forgot policies are more important. a lot of progressive policies revalve around buzz words divorced from reality. the concept of defunding the police is absolutely insane. if i hear somebody say reimagine policing one more time, i am going to scream. president biden is trying to kill the oil and gas industry also insane. one of the areas where the biden administration polled the lowest is the border. people understand that open borders is a national security issue. someone was arrested at the southern border who had possible ties to terrorism. fentanyl is the number 1 killer of people between ages 14 and 45. all of these things that joe and i just listed are manufactured issues that the president can reverse, but he won't because his party is tied to these ideas. >> i want to give our team a chance to find something before we move on. i don't know if we have jen psaki talking about what they would do if there were bad news and they needed good news. >> i remember that. >> announcing there would be a new cat in the white house. that's what they did this week. i immediately thought of her at the lectern saying that, we might announce a new cat if we need a good news day. i don't know in the team has it. you got it? okay. you can't make that up. kennedy. >> no, that's what happened. the new adoable german shepherd puppy. everybody loves puppies. i have a segment on my show where we highlight dogs. i love dogs. it's obvious what this was. they had a rotating selection of puppies in the wing waiting for the worst and sadly for this administration i don't think the worst news has dropped. immigration is not going to solve itself. inflation is not going away. crime is not being tackled. when san francisco is under its own crime and punishment lockdown, you know things have gone in a really strange direction. that's what is happening here. it's interesting to see who the white house continues to blame. they blame parents as domestic terrorists and blame scientists for not letting them know that the omicron variant is here. they blamed americans stuck in afghanistan saying they really didn't want to get out of the country. blaming others and they have to do something to make these bad things better. >> the omicron variant is ridiculous. the vice-president and president saying they didn't know there would be variants. everything has a mutation. the flu and everything. look at evolution. we are mutations. according to the recent abc news poll 63% disapprove of the president's handling of immigration. 57% disapprove of his handling the economic recovery and 69% disapprove of the handling of inflation. not a winner among them for him. where toine start? >> he hasn't handled anything. that's part of the problem. his vice-president and never been the actual border, the czar, hasn't done anything. they discuss things and equal rights and this fluffy garbage that is not helping average americans. when they go to the grocery store and look at the people coming through the borders, people are seeing it. they are telling themselves, maybe we should not wear a watch to shop at the century city mall. that might be dangerous. that's when you will see a turn. you will see it even in blue states. the people are realizing things are not going well. you can shield the people in the gated community. but once you impact their lives along with everybody else's, that's when you are in real trouble. maybe this administration in 2022 should handle even one of the things on those lists. >> on "outnumbered" we said why did the speaker nancy pelosi start a news conference to talk about how bad crime is, in san francisco, that's where she is from in california. someone said because louis vitton was being hurt. is that what it takes to get those inside the beltway who live in a bubble to pay attention to what is happening to every day americans? that's a fair question. we found that. the lectern. the white house press secretary jen psaki talking about what they would do in a bad news cycle. >> if you see a tail wagging coming out of the briefing room. you know something bad is about to happen. >> they were going to trot out a cat or a dog. >> yes. >> i wanted everybody to see. you can't make it up. >> no. i remember that moment. i thought it was cute at the time and she wants to have that one back. now that we are in an extremely bad news cycle for the president. every poll is lower and lower. they are actually going along with what she said. getting a cat. everybody knows that she showed her hand. you are supposed to keep that a secret. >> kennedy, the dog on monday just hours after senator joe manchin said no, i won't vote for your build back better bill. on sunday and monday here comes the dog! >> here comes the dog and here comes omicron. i worry about what is next. what is happening this weekend? she said the dog will show up before the bad things happen. that showed up after senator joe manchin last sunday went on fox news sunday with bret baier and said i can't do it, i am a no. >> coming up the president may have had high hopes for his vice-president. a serious of gaffes seems to be putting her entire political future in jeopardy. y mutual. they customize my car insurance, so i only pay for what i need. how about a throwback?

[laughing]. i don't understand the point you are making. >> oh! still hurts. then just a few months later there was this controversial exchange with a student about the middle east. >> [inaudible question]? >> this is about your truth. >> they had to deal with that too. her gaffes coming amid a series of shake-ups in her staff. several key aides departed quickly. the vice-president's poll numbers have taken a hit. unfavorable topping 52%. that could put her political ambitions in jeopardy. kennedy, some of those people have yet to leave. nearing the end of the year and they announced they are going like symone sanders, a big name in the democratic party. she was on bernie sanders team and helped him to be successful. >> that's his daughter. i am just kidding. symone sanders botched the interview where kamala harris was trying to rehab her image with charlamagne on comedy central. he asked her a pointed question. who is the real president joe biden or joe manchin? symone sanders is like we can't hear you. no. kamala harris was wide eyed. she knows she can hear charlamagne and will look stupid want at least she did not cackle am no, i can hear you go. go ahead. it was a string of things. i am waiting for her to step up. i think her political ambitions were in jeopardy when she ran for president and didn't make it to iowa. >> joe? >> the perception of harris and this administration is hard to reverse. the commander-in-chief is too old and too incompetent and too disconnected from what is important to the american people to do the job. he doesn't put in the work either. plan-b was supposed to be kamala harris. now it's more like plan-f as shut the front door it. >> oh! >> it's christmas eve. >> sorry. i almost slipped. i caught it. >> you caught the front door. >> thank you. many americans agree that the vice-president is not equipped to be the commander-in-chief. we are seeing resignations. symone sanders will be leaving soon. if you are symone sanders why leave this job? being the vice-president's spokesperson given how few interviews she does? it's like a cat sitter. there ain't a lot to do. when your boss is polling on handling low on the migrants coming across the border. why stay on this sinking ship? >> she is not doing the one job to make the president look good. she can't do it because of the pole numbers. you ask why people are leaving. i would estimate if you can't do the job they hired you to do, you know your days are numbered. you might as well as start looking. they can't help her move this sinking ship yet. we will see. >> yes, half of the country is not going to like kamala harris no matter what. but polls show there are a chunk of democrats who are turned off by her as well. she comes across as unprepared and uncomfortable. >> at least she is not laughing as much. >> but she still needs to work on it and get serious. when you think about the vice-president, you want to imagine them in a room with an adversaries going toe to toe. you can't do that with kamala harris. she did an interview with the san francisco chronicle and said her work on maternal health is the thing she is most proud of. that's important, but i didn't know that was on her list of items to handle. you think about kamala harris's responsibilities. it's the border and it's voting rights. maternal health is something you could give to a first lady to deal with. she's had a bad year. she needs to reverse course. >> tommy, not a lot of time but your final thoughtsment i don't get a rats patootie about kamala harris's future. she is not even trying to make things better. people say go to the border. that's simple. i will go to the border. you are not doing your job to find green new jobs in south dakota when you ended the pipeline. she doesn't make the effort and that's most insulting by kamala harris. >> i wonder if she doesn't go to the border because there is only one set of facts you can come back. it all needs to change and you should not have undone what president trump had going on down there to keep the numbers low. they don't want to admit that in the white house. we will move on. ahead from jussie smollett's hate crime hoax to the kyle rittenhouse case to former president trump we will look at the stories the media have gotten wrong and wrong and wrong. there are 7 more wrongs but we will go to commercial here. >> ♪ ♪ i may have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. or psoriatic arthritis. but we are so much more. we're team players and artists. designers and do-it-yourselfers. parents and friends. if joint pain is getting in the way of who you are, it's time to talk to your doctor about enbrel. enbrel helps relieve joint pain, and helps stop permanent joint damage. plus enbrel helps skin get clearer in psoriatic arthritis. ask your doctor about enbrel, so you can get back to your true self. play ball! enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders and allergic reactions have occurred. tell your doctor if you've been someplace where fungal infections are common. or if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have persistent fever, bruising, bleeding or paleness. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. visit enbrel.com to see how your joint damage could progress. enbrel. eligible patients may pay as little as $5 per month. throughout history i've observed markets shaped by the intentional and unforeseeable. for investors who can navigate this landscape, leveraging gold, a strategic and sustainable asset... the path is gilded with the potential for rich returns. ♪♪♪ my name is austin james. as a musician living with diabetes, fingersticks can be a real challenge. that's why i use the freestyle libre 2 system. with a painless, one-second scan i know my glucose numbers without fingersticks. now i'm managing my diabetes better and i've lowered my a1c from 8.2 to 6.7. take the mystery out of managing your diabetes and lower your a1c. now you know. try it for free at freestylelibre.us (kate) this holiday, verizon has the deal that gets better and better and better. get iphone 13 pro, on us, when you trade in your old or damaged phone. here, the phone everyone wants, on america's most reliable network. better?
