>> todd: our country is facing serious threats in the middle east. u.s. troops coming under attack by iranian back militias. it comes after the assassination of soleimani. alex joins us live. >> alex: it is part of a series we've seen that started on monday. three attacks took place yesterday in the middle east. iraqi bases that house u.s. forces saw attacks yesterday. one was in western anmar provence and the other in baghdad coming under fire. u.s. led coalition conducted several attempts to eshg eliminate launch sites known as green village. pentagon press secretary john kirby says there is notable threat there for american troops. >> my understanding is that the strikes were not air strikes, our men and women remain in harm's way and we have to take the thet seriously. we have the right of self-defense. >> ashley: in syria, eight rounds of fire landed inside base housing u.s. coalition. no casualties and minor damage. yesterdays's strikes are not the only recent attempts, two days prior armed drones were shot down. on tuesday, drones were aimed at an air base hosting u.s. forces and were heading for the airport. monday marked two years anniversary of general qassem soleimani death. his killing was through a drone strike ordered by then president donald trump. yesterday a group claimed responsibility saying it will not stop the attacks until it sees full withdrawal of u.s. troops. the pentagon says it has been anticipating and expecting these kind of attacks and started to ramp up defense and security at end of 2021 as result of what we're seeing happening this week. todd and ashley. >> todd: alex, thank you. did you hear this? one state is letting vaccinated covid positive healthcare workers treat patients after finding itself in a bind for firing healthy unvaccinated workers. we are talking to a worker being forced to sit on the sideline during the pandemic. >> ashley: this is awkward, white house chief of staff had a lot to say about access to covid testing under president trump and the posts are coming back to haunt him. ♪ ♪ limu emu and doug.♪ and it's easy to customize your insurance at libertymutual.com so you only pay for what you need. isn't that right limu?

>> i continuing is. we have always had a right to choose what we put in our body, whether the flu vaccine or if we want to vaccinate our children. we are told we have to take this new drug that has no long-term safety data. approval takes many years to make sure it is safe for the public. i am not an anti-vaxer, a lot of people misunderstand that. i believe vaccines save lives, this one is just not for me. >> ashley: that is your right as an american to think that way and everybody in the country should have that right. as far as from a patient standpoint, have you heard of pushback from this as far as patients or what do your friends that are perhaps vaccinated think about this? >> they think it is crazy that we're sitting out on the sideline, the unvaccinated. they are stressed and being put in situations in which they're at risk for getting covid from their counterparts. their counterparts aren't working at their best, so they have to pick up slack and they are running in different directions because they are short staffed. >> ashley: have you or anyone else on this leave, this unpaid leave, have you reached out to the health department to see if you could come back and help pick up the slack? as you said, i'm sure this is a lot on those workers. >> yeah, so we actually had religious exemptions, we went to the courts and had a judge mcelroy that the case was brought to for the religious exemption november 19th and we haven't heard back from her. we tried to talk to the governor of the state several times and he never shows. we've approached this many different direction with no result. >> ashley: such a strange time we live in, especially with the back and forth and guidance and lack thereof. kim, good luck to you and i hope there can be more, in my word, justice to you guys and also to the patients who have to be cared for by covid positive workers. kim theroux, thank you for telling your story, we appreciate it. >> ink that you, we just want to go back to work. >> ashley: i get it. todd. >> todd: we saw this crisis coming a mile away and here it is. time is 16 after the hour. could the nfl move the super bowl out of los angeles over the city's strict covid policy and where would they hold it instead?

>> ashley: not only that, not only do we know christmas comess same time every year, for months leading up to thanksgiving and christmas, you heard people like dr. fauci and people at cdc talk about there could be potential surge. so it is not like they don't know that sicknesses of all kind spike in the winter months especially around travel periods. i feel like this is on repeat basically and we're almost two years into this, two years in for some places. this is not new news. they knew this was going to be a problem. they knew testing was a way to help combat this among other factors. i want to point out it is not just us at fox news talking about it. if we google test shortage, first thing on seep -- cnn, biden is marred by a testing shortage. we are in 2022 now, to see lines and look at this, this is insane. i personally know people who are immuno-compromised and they are standing outside, while they're sick, they are covid positive, jam-packed in lines. it doesn't matter if you are outside or not, you are jam-packed, you are sick, 65 or 70, standing outside for five hours to get a test, how did they not see this coming? >> todd: especially considering they ran on, we're going to be the adults in the room. everything is going to be straight-forward going forward. we will end of pandemic and you will know what you need to know about this virus. yet i read the script from the cdc going into your intro, i have no idea what the answer is. i am a trained lawyer to parse language and figure things out and i don't have a clue, how can the average american know what to do. you are on the street and get asked what do we do? you hear rochelle walensky and dr. fauci and they are not on the same page, it is absolute disaster, ashley. >> ashley: clear as mud. the party continues in florida for blue state democrats with congressman swalwell being the latest liberal lawmaker to go maskless in the mandate-free state. >> todd: joe concha here to weigh in. swalwell live necessary one of the most popular holiday destinations, liberal state of california. why would he fly his family across country to that horrible no-good conservative state of florida? >> joe: that is the thing if you are a congresswoman from new york, for example, you want to get out of new york in december and january because of ice and snow and cold and wind and so on. if i already am living in california and believe me, sands sand, la hoya, malibu, you have everything. if you want to take your kids to disney world, there is disneyland there. why go to florida? swalwell does that perhaps he can sit somewhere without a mask on, go into a restaurant without offering a vaccine card, maybe it feels like a vacation more in florida than in california and speaks volumes as far as democratic lawmaker after democratic lawmaker. gretchen whitmer said not to go to florida because of vaccine nonmandates. it is rule for thee, not for d's, standing for democrats. >> ashley: this was one of the ladies from "the view," whoopi golberg, she was stunned after she tested positive for covid. we will get your reaction on the other side. >> i've done everything i am supposed to do, it doesn't stop omicron, that is the problem with a variant, it gets stronger and does different stuff to you. >> ashley: two things. i don't want to take medical advice from whoopi golberg, can we stop calling this pandemic of the unvaccinated. if you don't realize this is affecting the vaccinated and unvaccinated, you have been living under a rock. >> todd: yeah and whoopi said this variant is stronger, the data shows it is weaker as far as ability to kill people or hospitalize people. it is more contagious than delta, but certainly not something stronger in terms of ability to make you sick. maybe whoopi took the president at his word when he told cnn town hall last year, "you are not going to get covid if you have vaccinations," and whoopi getting covid shows no person should claim again as mr. biden did again this virus can be stopped or contained. new york city, for example, remarkable number, they are averaging 40,000 positive cases per day despite the fact 85% of the city population received one dose of the vaccine, highly vaccinated city. 40,000 cases per day. do you know what new york was averaging a year ago when no one was vaccinated outside of healthcare worker? 7500 cases per day, six times less. this variant is highly contagious, we need to talk less about vaccine mandates and staying home and more about therapeutics and living with covid through treatment and going about our daily lives particularly when it comes to schools. i hope people in chicago are watching now. >> todd: sounds like somebody is married to a doctor. joe concha, thanks for being with us, give our best to your wife. >> joe: and don't drink coffee out of your -- >> todd: yeah, you got your tie. return to anarchy and lawlessness that is what officials say is next for the big apple new york city. d.a. tells his staff not to prosecute criminals. >> ashley: and talking to nicole malliotakis about what this means for her constituents next. ♪ ♪ feel stuck and need a loan?

>> nicole: this policy is going to empower those doing the wrong thing in our city and at times when we are trying to recover the city post build de blasio to see the new district of manhattan is someone who will not help us restore this city, bring people back to work, ensure we atrack more tourism and keep businesses here, it will do the exact opposite. to give the viewerss a sense of the policy in practice, this d.a. wanting to charge people who commit armed robbery with petty larceny, that is maximum of 25 years and bringing it down to 364 days. when you talk about drug dealing at time you have fentanyl killing the most -- the leading cause of death among 18 to 45 year olds, he wants to take drug dealing and charge with possession. what new york city will see is our city move toward portland, murder of chicago, smash and grabs of san francisco and i'm deeply concerned about this. what really getss me is that when a poll was taken among democrats in the city, they said public safety was their top priority and wanted government to focus on keeping the streets of new york city safe and you see 84% of the residents of manhattan vote for this district attorney who campaigned on this policy, he said he was going to do this. if we elect people like this in our city, bat man will not even be able to save gotham city. >> todd: that is the most mind-boggling, new mayor eric adams seems in lock step with this guy. take a listen. >> i believe that he's going to be a good district attorney and i'm going to sit down and have a conversation with him as we build out what we need to do around public safety. team public safety is not only handcuff, team public safety is also pipeline that turn people into career criminals. >> todd: congresswoman, what happened to tough on crime, plain clothes, cop-wielded eric adams? it hasn't even been a week. >> a lot of mixed messaging, democrats know the policies are not popular among the people. democratss said that in polling. what you are seeing, eric ark dams on the campaign trail saying he will restore plainclothes unit and fight with albany to fix the botched bail law and you hear this saying he agreess with a district attorney who says he is only going to put peep nel jail if they commit murder, rape or white-collar crimes. time will tell whether it was rhetoric, but i will continue to fight for the city to hold elected officials accountable and the governor has ability to remove the district attorney. if this d.a. enjoys the city, we have governor election next year. i hope people pay attention. she said she would revisit the bail law and yesterday we heard nothing about it. >> todd: congresswoman nicole malliotakis, i was hoping for a big apple comeback, i'm worried it doesn't happen now. ashley, over to you. >> ashley: and the u.s. postal service now warning the biden administration one policy will cripple the agency. cheryl casone has the last-minute plea on behalf of the american people next. ♪ [upbeat acoustic music throughout] nicorette knows, quitting smoking is freaking hard. you get advice like: just stop. go for a run. go for 10 runs! run a marathon. instead, start small. with nicorette. which can lead to something big. start stopping with nicorette. ♪ limu emu and doug.♪ and it's easy to customize your insurance at libertymutual.com so you only pay for what you need. isn't that right limu?

>> well, todd, new york state's position is that in general, if you come from a particular i racial or ethnic background, you have been so discriminated against in the past that you warrant present government benefits and present government discrimination against other groups allegedly weren't persecuted in the past or weren't prejudiced in the past. and it's absurd. it's ridiculous. it's every american, every viewer watching your show know he is today that is no difference between somebody without means or maybe who has underlying health risks, regardless of their skin color, regardless of where they are located in the state the proxy should be, the test should be who needs the care?
