hours in lines while states struggle with testing shortages. the president still has not signed the contract to send americans millions of at-home tests, and he is bragging about a new test making facility that won't even be ready until -- listen to this -- 2024. and so much for following the science, the cdc is now cutting isolation period for people with covid in half. but not to make us safer. >> the reason is that now that we have such an overwhelming volume of cases coming in, many of which are without symptoms, there is the danger that this is going to have a really negative impact on her ability to really get society to function properly. so the cdc made a decision to balance what is good for public health at the same time as keeping the society running. >> it really had a lot to do with what we thought people would be able to tolerate. we really want to make sure we have guidance in this moment where we were going to have a lot of disease that could be adhered to, the people were willing to adhere to and that spoke specifically to one people were maximally infectious. so it spoke to both behaviors as well as what people were able to do. >> president biden is also being accused of sabotaging a key, life-saving treatment. florida surgeon general claims the biden administration has been "actively preventing monoclonal antibody treatments as states are running out of that therapeutic." republicans are not happy about it. >> in texas, we are one of those states that doesn't have these monoclonal antibodies anymore. we have run out. we have been claiming to be about how these formulas are distributed. not just before monoclonal antibodies but also for vaccine distribution as well. this administration just hasn't had the organizational wherewithal to really deal with this. >> joe, not you, joe, but there is another joke, not joe concha, president joe biden, but i have to wonder is too stubborn to follow the trump playbook. as i look back to when president trump was president and he had the wherewithal to say let's produce these tests before they were even proved by the fda. signed a $750 million contract in august. the test was an approved until december. he produced a hundred million vaccines, ordered them at least, before the vaccine was ever around. so clueless joe biden, is he just too stubborn to have kept up the trump playbook? >> it's a great question. you have to wonder if the vaccine, would say the roles are reversed, how long would they have taken to get out the american public under a biden administration. it seems like they are always a step behind when it comes to afghanistan, when it comes to inflation, when it comes to crime, they are reacting instead of being proactive as the former president was. it's obvious even to the president's dwindling supporters, and that includes dr. fauci, they have failed tactically on testing. data years head start -- they were warned of a winter surge and instead they are focusing on the other joe, joe manchin, and build back better instead because of priorities. omicron caught the adults in charge here way off guard, and now we see those images on our phones and our tv screens of president and first lady, wearing a mask and at least the president was at some point, playing with his dog, they are not within 200 feet of anyone else. on a beach. on a vacation. then you juxtapose that with the lines we are seeing stretching for miles in some situations -- and no hyperbole here by the way -- this is biden's katrina moment. he is absentee president. in fast-forward to mid-january, these lines aren't going away. still going to be front and center on our screens and home tests are not going to be in the hands of americans and that is when anger and frustration is going to grow. there is no jen psaki bomb or ron klain tweet is going to fix this. and independents and some were democrats are going to turn on this president to the pointy likely won't run for a second term as the bottom drops out, not just on this issue, but on inflation, crime, gas prices, and so on. >> he tells us it was a pretty good year, 2021, so in ensuring point he made on his twitter feed. but joey jones, that juxtaposition we saw, what a startling, you have those long lines, images that would've been acceptable may be at the start of the pandemic but not two years and, in that compared to joe biden playing with his new dog, commander, tossing a ball with jill biden while having a mask on and not signing the contract for covid tests until late next week. what is going on here? >> what there is mixed messaging and then there is no messaging. this is no messaging is our strategy goes because you can stand on one side and tell me this is an emergency and that we have these problems that we need to adhere to. an outbreak. and then on the other side say you know it, and a couple of weeks, maybe a month, you will be able to take test. you can stand on one side and have dr. fauci, which what bothers me most about that sound bite, dr. fauci to concern himself with how society is in functioning, not only make decisions based on wet politicians, wet and elected leader should be making a decision on, he is a bureaucrat, his job is to advise the leader of the country, and i don't know if anyone sits at home and watches president biden address the country and then listens to dr. fauci and the leader of the cdc and say okay, who is actually making the decisions here? we know who is. what was fantastic about president trump is i never once believed the book didn't stop with him. as a matter of fact, democrats make fun of him firing people but they didn't think you should fire so often, but it's because he took advice, made the decision, and stuck with it, and that is what leaders do. even when they are wrong. even when the decisions are wrong, that is when the buck stops with you. it comes across like he is being reactionary and i don't want my leader to be reacting all the time. >> yeah, quite a difference. and then kat timpf, st. anthony found she, who never met a holiday he didn't want to cancel, he had some advice for as this new year's, literal tape. >> if your plans are to go to a 40 to 50 person new year's eve party with all the bells and whistles and everybody hugging and kissing and wishing each other happy new year, i would strongly recommend at this year, we do not do that. >> 's before, i know you're going to a 400 to 500 new year's eve party very likely. >> i am hosting it. hosting it at my very small apartment. i'm going to do whatever i want because i had my second covid of the year in general but also of the year over christmas. two shouts, two covid, 2021. great time. so i'm going to do whatever he wants. i think a lot of this does come down to the individual. i think that we can criticize biden all we want. it is not his fault that covid is here. it is his fault and some of the measures he has taken that have created problems on their own when so much of this comes down to the individual. the new cdc guidance is said that if you don't have a booster shot and you come into contact with someone who has covid, you have to stay home for five days. if i come into contact with someone with covid i to stay home for five days even though i just got over covid? i'm not saying immunity is perfect because obviously i had two covids, i understood that two is more than one for quite some time now, not to brag, but my individual situation is going to be different than yours and lots of other people, not that we know the vaccines are really doing much to stop the spread, they absolutely are in terms of reducing hospitalizaons and deaths. but these are conversations you need to be having their doctor. >> yeah, kat, two covids, we know greg gutfeld is watching from vacation. you do a great job on " " i got i would never ask you to defend his testing debacle so instead i'm going to ask you to defend what is the craziest clip of 2021. let's roll the tape. >> you see how difficult this is for this administration. i am a fauci groupie, mask and hearing, i buy 95 mass by the caseload. weigh them -- wear them everywhere except when i sit down and i am certain that this is not a variant i can out run. >> leslie. >> first of all, she is doing what she wants. kat did what she wants. and i'm going to defend the testing. because the testing comes from the manufacturers when we look back at the delta variant in the first variants of covid, we were getting -- which are the most accurate and reliable, even more so of respiratory pcr panel that has for 11 things, including respiratory infection, viruses, et cetera. what we are looking at her home tests which aren't as accurate. rapid tests which aren't as accurate. i have friends and family who tested negative at home and had to wait, went incoming at their pcr test, than they were positive. so when kat says i do what i want, a lot of people are doing what they want, and that is part of the problem. i was supposed to be in boston because so many people my family got covid i couldn't even go to the party. i was supposed to go to -- got on a plane, came back on, and i do scratchy throat but i am covid free. i tested negative. that is part of the problem. we didn't know we were going to have this urge, did know is going to be a demand for these types of tests versus pcr test. this is not political, and there's not just one person to pick up the phone and say hey, send them down line. when you have half a billion tests in a few days and 200 to 500 million test. >> leslie, i'm very glad you are covid free, but we should not be two years into covid-19 with a testing shortage where you can't get it on the walls of cvs and you have to wait days for a test result. i think that is pretty obvious to the american people. but we will see next year and the midterms. up next, oh the irony. liberals fearful of the crime wave that they voted for. they are now loading up on guns. ♪ ♪ ♪ limu emu... & doug ♪ ♪ superpowers from a spider bite?

do you think we'll get a few billion dollars, maybe get that jeff bezos money from the thieves question marks because i think is ironic for the irs for people to be reporting stolen and come when all of the irs's income is stolen income. what they do to create net revenue? they don't. they take revenue that other people have created without their consent. what is that called? that is called stealing. so they have a lot of nerve for doing that. i hate the irs for a lot of reasons, because it is a thieving organization. but now i also hate its lack of self-awareness. >> i think it is great. when i go to my tax guy i say listen, i can pay you, i can pay the irs, you decide which one gets paid here. help me figure this out. where can i save money? joe, moving on, we are talking about drive-by shootings. isn't that attempted murder? i am pretty sure attempted murder is what happens when you hang a gun out of the car and shoot at someone. how is attempted murder worse or less bad, depending on the race of the person squeezing the trigger? >> all lives matter. i know i'm not supposed to say that in some circles, but they do. what kind of world do we live in? this bears repeating. washington state, they are going to reduce penalties for drive-by shootings with the aim of promoting racial equity. we are not supposed to recruit things and cable news as a rule, but that deserves echoing. this bill introduced by democratic represents carrie symonds and david hackney, interesting names here considering the circumstances. remember those names. the next time you read about a toddler or young child gunned down accidentally in a drive-by shooting, that here's the thing. 16 u.s. cities have reported record homicide rates this year. that's what happens when you demonize police officers, that's what happens because they now are resigning in record numbers, and when the president and vice president in biden and harris who barely mention skyrocketing crime you tell tell me, images and optics last segment, talk about it again. we have not seen the president flanked by police officers think this must stop and i'm going to do everything in my power to help those mayors and of those governors with that. instead, we at the white house press secretary jen psaki who are ugly i grew that republicans are the one who wanted to fund the police and one time at band camp -- it's like, no, they don't wanted the fund the police. it's ridiculous. police are overwhelmed and now people -- into their own hands. at that point now and quite frankly i don't blame them. >> leslie, you are out in california. i hope that you purchased a firearm. if you need advice i am happy to give it to you. is that what is happening, california is a big gun state now of these policies, because folks in san francisco are nearly uninhabitable according to people coming on this channel. stores being broken into eight times. is that why people are buying guns? you have to arm yourself to defend yourself? >> okay, j.j., love you, in california, with gun ownership for a long time, even among my fellow democrats. i'm not a big gun person. i've two teenagers that have a love-hate relationship. i just want to say i want to laugh at beverly hills that has a 50% lower violent client domain crime rate than the rest of the country, live in gated communities with security details, dogs, and also inner and outer security systems want guns on top of it. i think they will be okay. i also want to say, i hate the irs. and if a criminal is going to steal for me and they are going to put what they stole from me and claimant on their tax return, i will be happy to claim what they took for me on mine. and one less thing, as a liberal, i'm pretty much to the right of attila the hun as crime. i think the drive-by policy is stupid, i know there's a lot of racial disparity in our criminal justice system, that is not the right way to go about it. >> i'm not going to debate you on this because i think we pretty much agree, but that is two different things, and that is the problem, kaylee, is they take one thing and say listen we have stats here that said too many young black men are being profiled. and i'm willing to hear that, listen to the dying, change policies on that. you take the all the way to saying attempted murder is racial inequality? that is too big of a gap. that is a bridge too far. i think what that means is this is going to be a red wave momentum in the midterms. i don't think people are going to stand for this. i think americans see right through it. >> no doubt. it is pure idiocy on every level from the guy at the top, president joe biden, who -- before whispering i don't support defunding the police. but to joe's point, he never stands there with police officers and crime is undetectable. no, he is not a leader. he is abdicated leadership on this issue. it took him until summer of this year to even speak out against violent crime. and you are exactly right, joey. they will be a big price to pay in the midterms. i predict a massive red wave, we will take the house, possibly even the senate, and because of joe biden and crime is a big reason only to be overtaken by the inflation, covid, afghanistan, all the other crises that follow after the crime crisis. >> i think it's possible to believe in and listen to people's plates and also have law and order. call me crazy. i hope the republicans show in policy. up next, ghislaine maxwell's nuclear verdict could spell big trouble for others connected to jeffrey epstein. ♪ ♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ experience the power of sanctuary at the lincoln wish list event.

famous political figures, wealthy people, but even if she names names, the state still has to create a case. but this could be the time for her to start naming names. after the life she has lived incomplete and lavish luxury, that doesn't look too good for her. >> meanwhile, he just turning up on other friends of epstein like royal prince andrew and his lawyers holding "emergency talks" after maxwell's guilty verdict. so does this canary start singing? kayleigh, i go to you first. basically maxwell has three options here. she can either not talk, she could talk to reduce her sentence, obviously appeal. appeal is probably the not likely option in terms of getting her out of this any time soon the question is, do you feel the same way i do about singing? the advice to henry hill early on was never right on your friends. so she rats here, even if she gets a shorter sentence, what does that do for her? she is 60 years old and gets out at age 85 as opposed to 170? i wonder if she talks. what is your bed if you were to bet on this right now? >> if i tibet, these are a lot of slimy folks , i believe she is singing. when incentive does she have not the sin? when your life to live, two years left to live, gets out at 90, 95. the role that she had in this, think about this, he said if you are single, middle-age man who invites people to go to your private home or your ranch or your plane to new york city, you are considered creepy. but if you're a middle-age man who has this young, nice looking woman who goes out and tries to normalize this and talk to the young girls, it is a little bit different. maybe in the young girl's mind, and the words of prosecutors, "lured into a trap." so ghislaine maxwell, what a horrible thing she has done learning people into these traps, these young women, but waiting in the trap with these men who deserve to be sought after, deserve to have prosecutors in the same fashion they went after maxwell. this is not acceptable and if these people didn't have millions and millions of dollars, justice would have been served here a whole lot quicker. >> leslie marshall is a very simple, pithy question given what has happened here, with the circumstances in the past and the people involved, do you think she is safe at this point regardless of being behind bars? >> that's very interesting because there are questions as to whether epstein did actually kill himself. very good question. i don't know. i think her's song should be canary in a coal mine because i think she will be singing. the bigger the name, the bigger the deal unless the sentence time this woman is going to get i believe. the sad thing here is we are looking for a former president's names, we are looking for princes, what we forget our pilots, chauffeurs, cooks, butlers, other people who knew this was going on and who are just as culpable in my and many other people's opinion who kept cashing their paychecks knowing the damage that was being done to these young girls, more than 100 that we know of, that are now women. i think she definitely will cut the deal, even if it cuts her sentence by a few years. i think she is keeping that black book of hers close to the chest and she is very smart. she has come from a very powerful and rich family and that means they can hire very powerful attorneys, which she has. and i think that may work well for her and hopefully will actually work well for the victims in the long run. but i don't want to see immunity being put on the table for this woman, and that could be something she requests. >> kat, i will give you an option here as what would you rather have. access to area 51 and all the secrets behind there or ghislaine maxwell's black book? >> probably this. i think we should have access to this. i'm not going to predict whether she is going to talk or not because ever since we saw her that in in outages out there like everything was cool, i don't think i can ever get inside her brain of why she does what she does when she is in trouble. the unfortunate thing is, powerful predators are so powerful because not just because of themselves but because so many people who are also powerful are involved but people not involved but know about what is going on could have done something but looked away. every time we see one of these figures get taken down, also mike always people involved who never get taken down. as much as i do want to see everyone hold accountable, as much as i want to know everything, i don't have that much faith in the world. >> let's go around the circle clear as far as the semi brady bunching here going on. lightning round here. take one or two people you think should be the most nervous right now if maxwell doesn't talk. >> i think anybody who has done everything wrong, i don't care who they are, i hope they'll come out and i hope they all go to jail. this is not trivial. this is about taking advantage of kids. these were young women, these were children, and that is a big deal, and so hopefully all of them. >> kayleigh, i. >> i think if you on that flight manifest, you might be in that black book and you may be handed over. we will see. i don't know what those names are. >> leslie. quickly. >> the name i am here and again and again with additional legal counsel as prince andrew so i'm going to say that is the one we are going to be looking at right now potential. speak a very good. kat. >> i agree with johnny joey jones the names because of how famous those people are and i think that anyone who is involved this in any capacity is disgusting and i would like to see them rods. >> i think we all agree on that. coming out, creepy technology is invading our lives. and causing all sorts of problems. we will explain that one, next. ♪ ♪ age is just a number. and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health. versus 16 grams in ensure high protein. boost® high protein also has key nutrients for immune support. boost® high protein. ww's all-new personalpoints program is made just for you. you take an assessment, enter your goals, the foods you love and ww builds a plan just for you. i lost 26 pounds and i feel incredible. oprah: no two people are alike so no two plans are alike. with ww, i lost 30 pounds. this new program changed my life. live the life you love. lose the weight you want. the all new ww personalpoints program. download the ww app today for a 14-day free trial. a must in your medicine cabinet! less sick days! cold coming on?
