she made with her couture. it isn't even the most important one. the most enduring and significant message sent by aoc that night and by all the met gala attendees was the one embedded in the photograph she gladly shared with the press. the "new york times" ran one of them heading a story entitled aoc met gala's dress triggered strong reactions. there you see a beaming aoc, isn't she clever? isn't she arch? modeling her dress as a mask attendant on the floor smoothing out the fit. "times" story masked aid held up the train of her dress while she smiled brightly and waved at her fans she sent a message in vogue. it wasn't a message she the "new york times" or vogue intended, certainly wasn't one they recognized or understood. years from now when we look back at the met gala of 2021, we won't remember the exhortation to tax the rich. it's a tired slogan, literally centuries of history to it and indication now will evaporate when the moment does. what we will remember is the masked men and women who appear nameless, faceless, expressionless, thankless in the background of the lives of elites on the fringes of their decadent celebrations. they are kneeling on the floor, their fitting the clothes, they are serving the food. they are pouring the wine. they are working while the powerful, the rich, the celebrities, the politicians party in delight in heir unearned guilt and glitter. they are working these americans are working while their rulers have made them hide their faces. they made them hide their faces with the excuse of public health in a by gone crisis all of the better to make the rest of us look at them as they party and preen. it isn't just the met gala. it isn't just aoc. you can see the awful spectacle of unmasked and free elites served as they dine or celebrate or shop by masked working americans nearly everywhere these days. you can see it in high end restaurants. you have can see it at catered events. can you see it in the cities where the rich gather and the poor work and there is less and less middle class to speak of. they are all blue cities, of course, san francisco, new york, austin, washington, d.c. last month anthony fauci pope of science was spotted hobnobbing at book party for abc jonathan karl at washington's cafe milano. he was pulling his mask off and on as he moved through the crowd and reportedly explained by telling sally quinn who once penned novel about fauci figure before everyone in the authoritarian left was doing it every day i decided if anyone came up that i didn't know i would put my mask on. this was during a citywide mask mandate by the way. but fauci had nothing to worry about. it's not like anyone would arrest him or that he would know any of the help, the masks are for them, after all. on the precipice of the year of our lord 2022, the covid-19 pandemic entering its third year, this is what the panic and politics of the disease has brought us. a house divided. measures that might have made sense in early 2020 when there was no good understanding of the sickness, no vaccines, no therapies, no experience as a guide make no sense now. in early 2020, nearly the entire nation was willing to do its part to beat an onrushing plague enduring lockdowns, masking up, social distancing and more. we are americans and pulling together is what we do after all. because we are americans, we're have expectations of our representatives, our leadership, and our institutions. when they keep faith, we honor their demands of us not because we are ruled but because we are citizens. when they don't keep faith, well, we kick them to the curb or we ought. to say the years of the pandemic have sharply illuminated the bad faith, incompetence and dim-whitedness of those representatives, that leadership and these institutions. tomorrow is new year's eve, otherwise known as day 655 of 15 days to slow the spread. and it's safe to say at this point that nearly the whole formal apparatus of american civic life has written for itself a record of failure in response to covid-19. the pandemic, which is, make no mistake serious, deserving of public attention has advanced and receded according to its own logic and imperatives, nearly impervious to any public policy decreed by our hapless leadership. travel bans haven't worked. mask mandates haven't worked. social distancing hasn't worked. entirety of incompetent public health and epidemiological apparatus has not worked. the whole tool kit of ham foisted government has not worked. about the only thing that has worked reasonably well is the american pharmaceutical sector. if you are comfortable getting vaccinated moderna designed covid-19 vaccine in january of 2020. array of therapies to new pills tomono colonial anti-bose coming rapidly onto the market. if you don't feel comfortable with the vaccines or those therapies. there are reasonably accurate tests can you take to let you know if you even have covid-19. american citizens and american private enterprise have responded well to this pandemic. but the american government's role in all of this has been mostly to delay, suppress, or create artificial scarcities with all of these things. it's almost as if heaven forbid the ruling class wants this pandemic to continue. they couldn't actually want that, could they? in the places where that grip tightest dreadful continue run. impossible to mitt the political contours as we dip into the 2020 midterm year. call up any presidential map see it immediately. red stays are generally the ones where they don't make americans wear masks and don't make americans wear vaccines. americans are free to do both, of course in all those states. they are not forced to, that's the essential point now. it is the blue states where you see the opposite a blue state isn't simply shorthand for democratic control. it signifies rule by an intersection of media, academic, plutocrat particular and cultural elites over a welcome that rule to cowed or disempowered to do anything about it. it is these states, new york, illinois, california, oregon, washington, new mexico and beyond where we see the statewide compulsions to receive a vaccine. it is these states where we see the statewide compulsion to wear a mask. it is also these states where we see no significant empiric kel difference in pandemic outcomes vs. a free state like folder or texas. why do they persist? now that we are moving into pandemic year three, now that we have tried everything and found it all lacking, now that we know every citizen is going to make his own decision on risk, on prevention, on treatment, why in 2022 do they double down on the 2020 tool kit? do they not understand events? have they learned nothing? if only it were that simple. if only it was a mere case of governing elite stupidity. if only it was their characteristic incapacity in grasping events. it's something much worse. you must understand it because it is the difference between your future as a citizen and a different future as a subject. they persist in the masking and the lockdowns and the travel bans and the coercion because it expresses and enables their role, period. full stop. the masked anonymous drones holding the train of the progressive super star's party gown is exactly what they want americans to be. string identity is what they do these days whether it's poisoning your children against america in the public schools, tearing down monuments of our founders, or erasing your face from public view while their own bright smiles beam in the limelight. we are a house divided on this cusp of a new year. in one america, the free america, families are gathered. there are new year's parties, loved ones share time and memories. communities thrive. children learn in person and life goes on. despite the shadow of covid, every person assessing risk and acting aconsidereddingly. in the other america, the unfree america, a neurotic fixation atomizes communities, pulls apart. perpetrate child abuse, curbs the worship of god forces medical procedures on the pain of asker is schism and unemployment and subjects absolutely everyone to the capricious rule of an unqualified elite. there, americans are reduced to servitude. cogs in the machine of the state. masks and cloistered and kept alone in their apartment with no end in sight. it is not a regrettable necessity. it is the desired outcome of the authoritarian left. it is their vision for the future. people get their money from the government, their food delivered to the door, their marching orders from social media. their instruction via zoom. their entertainment from the okay columbus rift. as father john saying future's definition so much higher than it was last year. you might be wondering why this miserable system is the goal of the authoritarian left. the simplest answer is, because they think they know better than you stech know democrats simply plan us into a better future even as all the evidence around us suggest they are planning us into oblivion. you need to wake up to this reality. and now that you are awake, you need to fight. a house divided against itself, after all cannot stand. joining me now to respond is former education secretary bill bennett. bill, thank you for taking the time to join me this evening. i'm concerned about the direction that we are going experience under divided rule has made us reach a point like anything before in my lifetime. how do we get back to not being a house divided? >> we are getting back. by the way, nice pedigree house divided matthew 12:25 to abraham lincoln to ben domenech. i like that. that's a line of succession you are in, ben. we are getting back. we are fighting back. we are waking up. we were dazed, we were knocked against the ropes. we weren't sure what hit us as you pointed out in the early days of covid. we didn't know what to do. we weren't sure about this. now we have learned a lot. another great statesman like lincoln, our greatest statesman crisis in the house divided. hobble said, you know, we were living a lie in the old communist czech country; he said, because they wouldn't let us live the truth because if we lived the truth, they would all know that it was a lie and everyone would then act and so it was important to suppress the truth hobble writes. so we have seen the effort gon suppress the truth through some of these high tech operations and elsewhere. what we need to do, it seems to me more than anything else, ben, sen gauge in what the author novelist tom wolf called the great relearning. we have forgotten. so first things that we need to now remember. that schools are there to teach children how to read and write and count and think. and by the way, the children come first, not last. they have been a very neglected group over the last couple of years. second that we are a sovereign nation. we have borders. and they matter. third, that with the protection the government offers to every citizen, safety is the first subject to government. federalist papers say comes freedom. and freedom for those individuals. the american people are now waking up. i don't know if loudoun county, virginia will be, you know, the lexington and concord of this revolution, but things are stirring. and i think the great relearning is taking place. the american people are saying we're not taking this anymore, we don't believe you. >> ben: i would like to ask you as a former education secretary, what you would say right now to those families frustrated, tired, who have learned in the last several weeks that many of the school systems that they were depending on being open, sending their kids back to in person learning are even now entertaining the prospect of being closed for god knows how long. you saw, i'm sure, the vote among the chicago's teacher's union. >> sure. >> in terms of virginia's arlington schools similar things are happening across the country. what would you say to those parents about what they ought to do in such a situation? >> you know, the first thing i would think about is see if you can go elsewhere. if this is the kind of regard they have for you and your children, knowing the circumstance it puts you in as a parent, particularly a single parent, and what this distance learning does for most children, they must not have much regard for you. think about home schooling. think about a charter school. think about sending your child elsewhere. again, we have seen the lie and the lie is that we care more about your children than anyone else. no, they don't. if they did, they would be there and they would be there and they would be there in person. the one more thing i want to say is it's a grace essay by hanna in which she talks about a lot of things. one of them is surrender. there is a certain kind of surrender, ben, we are not allowed to practice in front of the young. we cannot surrender ourselves. we cannot surrender our liberty and our freedom and we cannot surrender them. find the best education you can for your child that can you provide hopefully the supreme court is on the way with more decisions that will favor educational choice and support educational choice is that money follows the student wherever the student may go. this may be the educational shakeup we need. i do think the great relearning is beginning. i think it's beginning in earnest. when you talk to people around the country, citizens, those subjects are becoming citizens to use your nice phrase there. i think you can see sign of this, and people are tired of surrendering to the experts who have been so wrong. just one last thing, when the head of cdc says well, we thought 10 days for lockup, you know, would be proper, but we decided to go with five because we think that's all that the public could bear. well, that ain't science. that's policy. and that's what they have been making alleluia long. >> ben: absolutely. thank you, bill bennett, for joining me this evening. >> thank you, ben. >> ben: coming up, a top health commissioner says the quiet part out loud. they're exaggerating the covid numbers just to scare you. >> the numbers that we gave on pediatric admissions it really is to motivate pediatricians and family to seek the protection of vaccination. superpowers from a spider bite?

[laughter] >> i want to thank the former general, i keep calling him general but my -- my -- the guy who runs that outfit over there. [laughter] >> what do you want to know? >> i want to give you the opportunity -- >> ben: joining me to react fox news contributor joe concha, joe, i think we have all gotten used to covering joe biden over his career and being used to you some of these tall tales and big fish stories and the like, but it only seems to have gotten worse in this first year and, yet, nobody seems to really question it. they just act as if it's not going on around us. >> yeah. ben, it's the brian williams presidency at this point, right? it's not just that president biden is a serial lier, he does it in the spirit of the former nbc news nightly anchor. he lies for no apparent reason. it's not like you know he is in some sort of tough interview answered grabs for something. what compels a president like he did a couple weeks ago to say that he consulted with gold da my ear consulted her do the while he was a law student what compels him to say he was arrested in south africa trying to see nelson mandela that never happened. he feels he can always get away with it because he knows there won't be any true consequences. he eventually became president after all and that's despite remember, his first run for president going for the white house, he had to drop out due to plagiarism. stealing somebody else's work as his own. look, if biden ran on being the second coming of george washington in terms of trust. he is as trusted as jussie smollett at this point. there is a new cnn poll out and it finds that two thirds, ben, of the american people do not trust this president. three in four independence, 75% do not trust him. that's a big deal for a guy who basically said trust me, i'm not donald trump. well, no one trusts you either, pal. >> i think there is a different standard too, joe. we a have standard for local politicians who may tell these fish stories and people are used to them. they are beloved figures and the like. they have been around forever. we can forgive grandpa for maybe losing his set of facts. he is a commander-in-chief in a very critical time facing very critical issues that lack of trust that you are talking about, it carries a lot more weight now, doesn't it? >> of course. because, you know, as you said. you are the leader of the free world. you don't have to tell these stories anymore about how once you were a truck driver x amount of years ago. why even bring this up in the amtrak one kill please, too. he says well, you know, i used to talk to this guy from new jersey. i'm from new jersey, and he would say joey, baby, what are you doing back on the train and they used to track how many miles he used to take. the problem is when he tells the story about who says joey baby, joey baby had been dead for years at the time joe biden said that happened. i don't know if it's a memory thing. i just think it's a reflex at this point that he just tells these stories and no one in his communications department says, you know, you don't want to tell this anymore because at least maybe one or two fact checkers out there are calling you 00 for it on social media. fact checkers for the most part are have taken off last 11 months since the inauguration when donald trump fact checked every other minute. >> ben: of course, of course. you know, it is a good example of this simpson presidency tell all these onion in your belt stories until people let you out of the interview. thank you, joe, for joining me tonight. >> have a good new year, my friend. say hello to meghan and the baby. >> ben: you too. of course. it's clear that the biden administration has a lot of work coming in the next year. but george washington law professor jonathan turley has a suggestion for the president when it comes to a new year's resolution. in a column published in the hill he writes joe biden could stop declaring the guilt or innocence of people before they are actually investigated or tried. when passions turn to rage, a president can bring a needed voice for fairness and patience in allowing our system to function without prejudice or prejudgment conversely if the president rushes to judgment, he becomes an enabler of mob justice. jonathan turley joins me now. this is learnly something that i hope that the president takes under consideration. why is it so important, jonathan for this kind of thing to be treated with seriousness by the commander-in-chief? >> well, you know, this has a deeply corrosive impact on our justice systematically because the president is that voice of reason. the president is the person that obviously people listen to because he was elected by the majority of voters. and he needs to use that capital to really dampen down passions on occasion, to speak to the process of justice, not the result of the justice system. and that's something that president biden has failed to do. repeatedly, and that is contributed, in my view to a lot of the tensions that we have. in the case of kyle rittenhouse, the president came out and called him a whims and treated him as guilty. then you have the facts being reported where disproven and obviously the jury ultimately acquitted him. when it did, the president came out and said how angry he was with the president. that's not the words of a president. a president needs to say that while you behalf have had misgifltion and doubt you respect that jury decision. he started out with that type of positive message but then he came back and reverted to his earlier position and says how angry is he at what the jury did. that's not something that works to make this a better country that supports justice system. the thing that bothered me the most was when he came out and declared the border agents to be guilty before any investigation. he accused them of wing migrants at the water and promised that they would be punished. and these are employees of the executive branch, the branch that he heads. they hadn't even been subject to a full investigation. and, of course, we now know that they didn't whip people. the recover from who supplied that video said he didn't know what people were talking about. that he didn't see any whipping. but you haven't heard anything about that investigation. we were supposed to hear about it very quickly. the word is that the investigation was completed. and, yet, it's radio silence. but these agents are still on administrative duties. >> ben: you know, professor turley, one of the things and i appreciated so much this year your intelligent writing on so many different topics i encourage people to read your website for unfiltered thoughts on some of these cases that have been at the center of discussion this past year. i'm so tired of these cases dominating our national conversation. when so many of them are issues that should be decided locally by juries that are not affected by national discourse. to me, this whole concept of biden backing off and withholding judgment is part of that. is designed to lower the tensions involved. do we have any hope of getting back to that in our environment today or are we doomed to have every case, such as the jussie smollett case, for instance, back one of national import where everyone has to weigh in and pick a side? >> you know, i'm an optimist on these things, and i try to remain so. you know, the things that gives me optimism from this year is that jurors showed all of the integrity and all of the independence as lacking in many of our leaders. you know, they in the smollett jury, in the rittenhouse jury, they withstood a lot of pressure and they ruled on the evidence. we saw in the arbery case the jury reaching a conclusion that was based on the evidence. so, when regular people are asked to do the right thing, they often do. what we need is for our leaders to do the same. president biden has decided is he a back room politician or is he going to be president of the united states? >> professor turley thank you so much for taking the time to join me tonight and happy new year to you. still ahead, the fight over the classroom heats up as teachers demand an additional responsibility coaching children about their sex yawlt. >> i start conversations about gender and sexuality with my students. to know that a queer adult edges cysts. do you know that trans people exist and are normal is life-changing to them. e liberty, they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. wooo, yeaa, woooooo and, by switching you could even save 665 dollars. hey tex, can someone else get a turn?

>> yeah. so i think the parents really have you know, just really two options you flight or you flee. if you are going to stay in your school district, you have to stay on top of what the school is teaching your kid. who does your child belong to? parents need to say my child belongs to me. you won't be indoctrinating my kid into any ideas i don't want them to hear. focus on math and science and social studies and the rest of it we have had a tough time in america with our education system blue cities the last two years of the pandemic. we don't have time for this kind of nonsense. we actually really need the actual basics laid down first. i think parents need to decide if they are going to stay where they are. if they are, show up at school board meetings and fight. if they want to flee, that's another option, they can absolutely find a better situation for their kids because there are still normal places out there. >> ben: karol and asra, i know that you are both key members of this year when parents really did wake up to all of this. thank you so much for taking the time to join me this evening. >> thank you, ben. >> thank you. >> ben: you might not want to watch this next segment if you are hungry. we have some delicious new year's eve recipes straight ahead. ♪ ♪ commend nature made vitamins, because i trust their quality. they were the first to be verified by usp, an independent organization that sets strict quality and purity standards. nature made. the #1 pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand. i'm so glad we're finally on vacation. yeah, and kayak made it so easy - searching hundreds of travel sites to find us a great flight. my ears still won't pop after the flight . but i don't even care.... what?
