argument it's for vaccine mandates for large employers and for health care workers and providers. the osha rule states that businesses with more than 100 or more workers must either require employees to be vaccinated or submit to weekly testing and masking in the work place. opposing this mandate are 27 states and the national federation of independent business. the fact is, long before the vaccine debate, federal agencies like osha wielded way too much power. this is why trump wanted so much of these burdensome rules axed from the federal register all together. because terms like health and safety are very broad. they are very general terms. their meanings can be stretched to prohibit or require just about anything. that's when the court is usually asked to step in. >> cms also implement regulations about exercise regimes, sleep habits, medicines and supplements that must be ingested by hospital employees in the name of health and safety. >> i'm not sure that there would be a problem with those requirements. >> laura: they require those too. they have a better effect. that's exactly right. if the feds can require vaccines or testing, why not weight loss, exercise programs, yoga, think of the lives it would save. one of the biden's weakest points involves the need for immediate relief. >> does the federal government object to our taking a couple of days, maybe, to digest the arguments before people start losing jobs or if we do that, are you going to say, well, they are causing people to die every day? >> we do think that the agency found that there is grave harm every day and the numbers are stark. >> laura: the agency has found, is that what she said? the government has been wrong about all of its finding, almost all of its fining every step of the way since this pandemic began. remember, they got it wrong on their masks findings, social distancing provisions, natural immunity, got that finding or nonfinding wrong, therapeutics, danger to the kids, overstated. given that more people died in 2021 with the vaccine than in all of 2020 during the pandemic without one, the irreparable harm argument doesn't hold much water at all. not to mention the obvious fact that it is now an indisputable scientific fact that vaccines don't prevent infection or transmission of the virus. it is also a fact that the former dean of harvard law school simply ignored it today. >> i just don't see this as a situation, a typical arbitrary capricious situation where we say, oh, you didn't consider an alternative carefully enough. we all know what the best policy is. by this point, two years later, we know the best way to prevent spread is for people to get vaccinated. >> that's terrifying. she is actually smart. she is a smart woman. how does she not know this? how is this not even brought up in the oral arguments today? even smart liberals always prefer emotion over facts and logic. to the left, this is too important of an issue and too scary to trust it to the democratic process. heaven forbid, we let congress actually try to pass a law requiring vaccination and testing. they have control of congress and the presidency, after all, the democrats. how interesting they didn't dare try to do that? hm, i wonder why. they didn't go through the normal regulatory process with these mandates. one moment today really made me worry. if the court needs its own mental acuity check. justice breyer seemed to suggest that mandates would eliminate 100% of covid cases. >> when they issued this case, there were approximately 70,000 new cases. yesterday, there were close to 750,000. if we delay it a day, if it were to have effect, then 750,000 more people will have covid who otherwise if we didn't delay it wouldn't have. >> wait, so in breyer's warped thinking, if osha's mandate is upheld, all infections would be eliminated. who said you need basic logic and matte skills to be a supreme court justice. you don't. we are repeatedly told that the liberals object the court are some of the brightest legal minds in the country. i'm beginning to have my doubts, especially after hearing these words leave justice sotomayor's mouth. >> omicron is as deadly and causes as much serious disease in the unvaccinated as delta did. we have over 100,000 children which we've never had before in serious condition and many on ventilators. >> laura: it's hard to believe someone so misinformed sits on the court but that's where we are. 100,000 kids are not in icus or on ventilators. that's about 30 fold more than reality per the hhs. even fauci admits that most kids are hospitalized with covid, not because of covid. but it was this line of questioning from justice sotomayor that was really eye-opening. >> what's the difference between this and telling employers where sparks are flying in the work place, your workers have to wear a mask. >> when sparks are flying, there is a machine unique to that work place. >> why is the human being not like a machine if it is spewing a virus? >> laura: she is like a machine spewing idiocy. i hope she is not contagious. again, if you are vaccinated, you can still get and transmit the virus, even walensky from the cdc had to admit that. it is tricky predicting which way the supreme court is going to go. in this case, who would happen that the court upholds the mandate as to the health care providers that get the medicare money but halts the mandate for businesses of 100 employees or more. we'll see. of course, all these mandates should be stopped immediately. the new congress should hold immediate hearings exposing why these mandates are ineffective and overly burdensome to the people in businesses that are already struggling. joining me is harmeet dylan and ben mettleist, co-founder and fox news contributor. harmeet, you are a practicing lawyer and i'm a recovering one. i did spend a year clerking at the supreme court. i was shocked by the lack of basic knowledge by this virus on the part of the supreme court justice, sotomayor or breyer and kagen, who is really smart. >> thanks for having me. they are one of my clients that filed one of these briefs. it was shocking to see. i would not call it misinformation. i think the justices are fully aware of the facts and the circumstances. i think the problem is they were hamming for the cameras and viewed themselves for a particular position. it speaks like they felt like they were in the minority. i think they know fully well what is fully well what's going on here. some of that rhetoric and factual material that isn't in the record is unusual in a court hearing. we are taught as lawyers not to come to the court and tell them what you saw on television last night as an argument. that's a violation of court rules. justices apparently are free to do exactly that and import emotional and fact-free arguments there. it undermines the credibility of the court. i thought the conservative justices, i'm hoping five solid votes and i think justice roberts is the conservative, the challenger to the osha mandate. they are really aiming their arguments at justice roberts to try to convince him and make it 6-3. >> i only got to hear about half the arguments today. i'm not sure i agree with harmeet that they new what they were saying. i think they spend a lot of their time watching cnn and reading "the new york times." it takes them a lot of time to catch up to the truth. i think kagen is a smart person. she is obviously glued to cnn. they are repeating the same crap, sorry, that we have heard for two years that's false. >> look, i have enormous respect for both of you as attorneys but i have to take your side in this, laura. one of my mantras about washington is that we should always consider the possibility we are led by idiots. in this case, we had a very revelatory day in terms of the idiocy of these people we have in robes on the high court who are bowed down to and respected for being wise latinas and the like. yet, we are just perpetuating, not just misinformation or something like that, the fake news coming from inside the court. really, things that would completely skew your perspective on the world and the way that americans are living. the idea that breyer advanced that if this mandate was put into place tomorrow, if it was upheld tomorrow, that 100% of these types of cases would vanish into thin air, it's insulting on so many different levels. i can't believe that. i real please everything we heard that you just played, that was stupid but very representative of how stupid this whole thing was. the brayer one, i was aghast as i was listening to it. is he actually making this argument? it is ridiculous. >> harmeet, during the arguments sotomayor didn't seem to understand the difference between the powers of the federal government and the state police powers. here is this stunning exchange. watch. >> i am not sure i understand the distinction, why the states would have the power but the federal government wouldn't? >> the federal government has no police power. >> oh, it does have power with respect to protecting the health and safety of workers. >> harmeet? do you actually think she did understand the difference between federal and state? i do not think she understands that states do have certain police powers. they probably can uphold some of the vaccine mandates on the state level sadly. the federal government has different limits, the 10th amendment being one of them. >> i think, laura, what i am actually saying is more pernicious than what you are saying. i think they know what they are saying is wrong. they have gotten used to years of accretion of increasing federal power to where you can say that because osha is allowed to tell people to put hard hats on in construction sites, they can do anything. that's their liberal bias, laura. that is sort of results oriented judicial activism. that is truly disturbing, because if you extend out some of these arguments that, for example, our client made in our brief, osha can actually do anything. osha can force you to take any drug. osha can force you to lose weight, as was said in the second set of arguments and, clearly, the founders of our country did not delegate that power to the federal government and clearly congress never delegated that power to osha. i could question some of the conservative justices are asking, why can't congress get together and pass this law? i don't think they have the power to mandate any of this type of reason for the same reason you just articulated, namely there is no federal police power of this nature. >> laura: harmeet and ben, great to see you. thank you. when michelle walllensky announced a solo presser, the consensus was she was going to step down and instead she trotted out a campaign and argument for boosters. i think we need to think about a third shot before we start thinking about what a fourth shot would look like. we are working closely with our us rayly colleagues. >> joining me now is alex varant and author of "pandemia". i think she is the symbol for today's failing medical establishment. she is not going to be held accountable. if she is not going to be held accountable, who will? >> laura, very quickly, i thanked tucker on wednesday and i want to thank you tonight. he and you both talked about it the week it came out. the book became a best seller even though the rest of the media tried to ignore it. that's because of you and your audience. i thank you for that. >> laura: you're welcome. >> in terms of the conversation you just had about the vaccines and the vaccine mandates, i think there is a point actually that's gone misunderstood right now and boosters too. in highly vaccinated countries, in europe right now, where we have really good data, vaccine efficacy has turned negative. meaning vaccinated people are more likely to catch omicron about ten weeks -- i shouldn't say ten weeks, about 24 weeks after full vaccination. meaning for reasons we don't fully understand, the vaccines are not just controlling infection and transmission but accelerating infection and transmission in omicron. it doesn't mean they are getting really sick or worsening the veer u lens of the disease but right now, vaccine efficacy has turned negative. when you are going to talk about mandating vaccines or boosters, that's a fact people should know. >> laura: the new york governor said something about covid hospitalizations, alex. watch. >> looking at just on the fourth of january, we realized that 39% of the people are hospitalized with non-covid reasons and checking in with yesterday's number, that number was 42%. half of the hospitalizations are someone who needs to be there because of the severity of their covid situation and the other half are there for other reasons. >> laura: alex, hasn't this been true for a long time? we were pillarried for say thg for over a year. >> it's been true for a long time. omicron is probably making it worse, because it is so transmissible that even more people now who are going to be the hospital for other reasons probably have omicron incidentally. we have said that for a long time. here is something else you and i have said for a long time that suddenly is accepted wisdom, which is cloth masks are useless. now, everyone on cnn and msnbc agrees about that. it is only a matter of time before the truth about how long vaccinations last or how long protection from vaccinations last and what the real side effect risks are. they have to start admitting that. they admit it all but it takes them months and years. >> laura: alex, we have super computing technology unrivaled in the world. it seems to me you could run a program and write it pretty quickly to show whether or not any of these measures have really made much of a difference in the transmission, death rate, and hospitalizations of this virus. i would venture to guess that they haven't made almost any difference. we will find that out when we have an honest computation of these numbers down the line. alex, thank you. >> laura: the biden white house was quite optimistic it about today's job reports. should they have been. larry kudlow being there. a stalled agenda, they are looking to put a knife in the back of democracy. senator tom cotton is here in moments to explain how they will do that. stay there. i'm 77 years young, still going strong. diabetes is not going to slow me down, thanks to my dexcom g6. this little wearable sends my glucose numbers right to my phone or receiver. and the arrow tells me which way i'm heading and how fast. so it's easier for me to keep my glucose in range. and the more time i spend in range, the more i can do. if you're on medicare, learn more at dexcom.com. >> laura: well today's awful, terrible, rotten jobs report was another black eye for bidenomnics. the economy added 199,000 new jobs. that was less than half of the 420,000 they were expecting. don't worry, joe says this lackluster figure is actually a sign of how great things are. of course, the american people just aren't buying it. every time biden has been trotted out to defend his administration as abyss maleconomic report, there is a corresponding drop in his approval rrating. >> we knew this wouldn't be a sprint, it's a marathon. we are moving more rapidly than i thought we would. think of where this country stood on the day i was sworn in as president and compare it to where we are today. today, we receive more evidence of the progress we are making. i call it building back later. joining me now is larry kudlow, former trump economic adviser. larry, i think it was on the hill last night i was reading some piece that said that the administration was looking forward to gangbuster numbers on the jobs front, upwards of 450,000, 475,000. that's getting it wrong by a factor of two and, larry, you know i'm not that good at math but that's pretty bad. >> the problem with the economy today is inflation is rising because of too much federal spending and too much federal reserve money creation and we don't need anymore. we have to save america by killing the bill. >> laura: larry, to your earlier point, i want to play this where biden hammered republicans for not supporting his massive pandemic bill. watch. >> i want to talk down the recovery because they voted against the legislation that made it happen. i refuse to let them stand in the way of this recovery. my focus is on keeping it strong and durable notwithstanding republican obstructionism. >> he is leaving out that 17 of the top 20 states in terms of the recovery are red states. where would the economy be without the red states today? >> that's a key point, a very important point. incidentally, those red states ended the excessively generous unemployment benefits three or four months earlier before the federal government did and many more people returned to work because of that. so i think you are making a good argument that a lot of the pluses in the jobs report today come from those very red states. you know, his contribution here for that $2 trillion package last winter, which larry summers, democrat, and other democrats, and i agree, kevin ha sad and i agree, that's what triggered this massive inflation. joe biden is hanging tough on this $5 trillion package. i believe we are going to kill the bill. if left to his own devices, biden will be a disaster. we have a problem. interest rates are going to go up, the federal reserve is going to have to switch policies to much tighter money. that's going to damage the economy. it is not going to be easy or a soft landing. it's probably going to hit in '23 and '24. i mean it. >> there is only one way to deal with inflation at this point, right? you have to raise the interest rates. everybody understood this, that this day was coming. if trump were still president, we wouldn't have had to deal with this. we don't have trump. we have biden. >> but we still have trump's ideas and policies for those that continue them. biden can attack supply siders but you tell me let any sane, ordinary, middle american, wonderful blue collar person tell me how is it that spending $5 trillion and raising $2 trillion or $3 trillion in taxes, how is that going to help the economy? where is the common sense here? that's the part i don't get. >> laura: larry, great to see you tonight. happy new year. >> you too, laura. >> laura: with the economy lagging, democrats know they can't win on their achievements. instead, they have embraced january 6th and they are using it as a bat to basically hit against the face of the republicans in order to then rig future elections. as "the federalist" nodes, they are tying the nuclear option on the filibuster and the passage of the voting bills to attempt to turn the one-year anniversary of the january 6th riot into a festival that's aimed at demonizing all republicans. joining me arkansas senator, tom cotton. i didn't see you at the cnn festivities last night. they had the whole statuary hall decked out. pelosi was pointing to various statues that would have agreed with her and so forth. how do we move forward given this dynamic they have created? >> well, laura, you are right, what joe biden and chuck schumer and nancy pelosi are doing, transparently so, is trying to use the anniversary of january 6th to federalize the election administration in america. they are also telling what we've called the big lie, which is that republican governed states like georgia or texas are making it harder to vote or suppressing the vote, when, in fact, governors and legislators are making it easier to vote but harder to cheat. it is not surprising that chuck schumer and joe biden want to federalize election, because they cannot win given their unpopularity. we just learned that the boston marathon bomber got a stimulus check for last year because of the democrats stimulus bill last year, just as i predicted at the time. all 50 senate democrats voted for that, to say nothing of massive inflation or poor jobs report or rising crime. that's not an agenda they can win on. that's why they want to federalize the elections. >> i love the fact that "the washington post" had to take away your pinocchios. you were right. thankfully, they did correct the record on that. now, democrats, senator cotton, are hoping to use a lot of pressure from various celebs to woo joe manchin into changing on the filibuster. now politico is reporting that he has told colleagues he has been on phone with bill clinton, barack obama and oprah winfrey. do you think he will hold strong? >> i'm not sure that is the best strategy for the democrats. the only person less popular than joe biden in west virginia is barack obama. he said he can't support the reckless tax spending bill and is not going to destroy the rules and customs of the senate. he is not going to break the rules so he can change the rules. kyrsten sinema from arizona said the same thing. i have seen no reason to believe they have changed their opinion on that despite the democrats lies about what states like georgia and texas have done trying to use those lies to federalize our elections. >> laura: senator cotton, finally on the supreme court's oral arguments on the vaccine mandates, what are your thoughts on what the court will do, let's focus on the businesses of 100 employees or more? >> laura, it is always risky to predict what a court will do. it seems to me they are prepared to do what they should do, which is to strike down these mandates. the federal government has no power to issue this mandate. certainly, the occupational health and safety administration, which is supposed to deed with ladders and hard hats on the job sites, has no authority to mandate that businesses force a vaccine on their employees. it sounds like the court is prepared to do what they should do. >> i think all you guys in the senate and the house, you guys should pass the law and see how popular it ends up being. they don't want to do athat, do they, senator. great to see you. >> laura: up next, pop culture embraces january 6th and positively boosted returns. raymond arroyo has it all in "friday follies". it's next. ready to turn your dreams into plans and your actions into achievements?

how grave is the threat to democracy? how do we heal the hate? >> laura, you remember that old song, let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. if we want to heal hate, mandy pitikin could probably use some advice in that department. this is he and his wife last year. >> i don't give a -- i'm sorry. i don't give a dam. i just did it. i don't give a -- what trump says. >> that's the trump dance. i'm squishing you down to the size of your human evil soul. i am sitting on you, sitting on you, sitting on you. i'm putting you in -- >> how did we get here?

>> how do you think she would look at this chapter in american democracy? >> with tears in her eyes, not only cleo but lincoln, whose desk was right over there, rosa parks, who is looking at us from over here and so many other heroes. some of these people have to go and we have a bill to get rid of them. >> robert e. lee and all the others. pelosi and no elected official should strike or cancel historical or living figures with whom they disagree. this is why people are polarized, debate, disagree or argue. you can't use raw political force to outlaw ideas or hold people that you oppose politically. that is a threat to democracy. we just heard it. >> laura: how is it going to making any better when you tell a whole group of people if you are not human. they dehumanize you if you have chosen not to get vaccinated. they dehumanize you if you have a traditional view against pornography or drugs, you north really human or evolved enough. robert e. lee, there was nothing good about him. he has to go. it goes on and on. finally, ray, we have a positively boosted update. ♪♪ >> the boosted and covid positive club grew this week. whoopi goldburg was positively boosted, jimmy fallon and seth meyers admitted they were positively boosted. do you remember this big broadway style number from the late, late show?

(swords clashing) -had enough? -no... arthritis. here. aspercreme arthritis. full prescription-strength? reduces inflammation? thank the gods. don't thank them too soon. kick pain in the aspercreme. there were protesters storming the capitol, chanting, screaming, cursing at and taunting police officers. there were fist fights and destruction of property, michigan in 2012. when union members breached the state capitol to protest pending right to work legislation. thousands turned out and things got rowdy, even violent and they were led by a very familiar face. >> when the governor locked the public out during their attack on collective bargaining, i threw open the doors of the capitol and i led the resistance from my office. >> so now the crowd is chanting, let us in, let us in. >> let us in, let us in, let us in. >> we're going to fight, are you? yeah, yeah. >> get out of my face. >> we're going to continue to fight. the fight is not over. >> joining me now is tutor dixen, a republican running to unseat governor whitmer this november and the candidate who put that video together. it is good to see you tonight. the left would surely say, all right, but that's just a protest. that's not an insurrection. gosh, i'm thinking if you were a state legislator in that building and that crowd breached the building,it might be fairly unsettling. >> exactly. thank you, laura. let me explain what was going on. that building was locked down the day before because of credible threats against lawmakers. you have governor whitmer, who was a state senator at the time, who did actually throw the doors open. technically, she opened her window of the secured capitol building and let those violent protesters in to, i would say, disrupt the democratic process. she is campaigning on this in 2018. she is talking on camera in the interviews saying, i threw the doors open. that's from her when she was campaigning. democrats said, being a radical activist and marching on the capitol steps and breaking into the capitol is what you need to do to become a governor, now, if you do that, you're an insurrectionist. if you are labeled as an insurrectionist, you must be impeached. you can't be governor, right? >> laura: we don't have the window deal confirmed but the video that we've looked at and that we just showed, again, it depends on how you look at certain things from different angles but it is an angry crowd. we believe in protest. we believe in peaceful protest and the right for people to be heard. we don't want anyone shut out of a debate. what's going on in washington is an effort to squelch free speech and squelch debate and brand anyone who has a particular point of view, happens to be more conservative or questions election results, they are defwak toe, not members of society. that's what's going on. my question to you, tudor, is right now, hearing whitmer's reaction to january 6th is quite something. watch. >> i'm watching the news of what's happening in washington, d.c. and i am appalled. i am furious. the actions of these people who are trying to stage a coo and wreak violence on the foundation of our democracy is appalling and abhorrent. >> laura: fraudulent, hypocritical, a couple of words that come to mind. >> she is the queen of hypocrisy here in michigan and everyone knows that. she has been that for years. those images are interchangeable with january 6th. you bring up a good point. you have this january 6th committee that is going after citizens but also going after lawmakers and saying, even though all of the lawmakers say, we had nothing to do with this. we are going to search you down and take your bank records and find out if you could have possibly and we are going to prosecute you. gretchen whitmer was out there saying, i did this. you should be proud of me for doing this. how are we suddenly changing the rules of the game? of course, that's always what democrats do. when she did this back in 2012, she proved she was a radical activist and wasn't a leader. she has continued to say, i'm going to shirk the democrat is process. throughout all of 2020, she was a dictator. she wouldn't work with the ledges lay or or bring them into the decision-making process. the person she was in 2012 continues to be the person she is in 2020. she cannot be reelected for our state. she is bad for michigan. >> you guys are seeing an exodus, i believe, of residents. people are going for more hospitable climates. we are going to be watching this primary on the gop side. michigan needs relief. thank you so much. final thoughts when we return. i'm greg, i'm 68 years old. i do motivational speaking in addition to the substitute teaching. i honestly feel that that's my calling-- to give back to younger people. i think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as they used to or they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. i've been taking prevagen for about three years now. people say to me periodically, "man, you've got a memory like an elephant." it's really, really helped me tremendously. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss. and if you're taking a multivitamin alone, you may be missing a critical piece. preservision. preservision areds 2 contains the only clinically proven nutrient formula recommended by the national eye institute to help reduce the risk of moderate to advanced amd progression.
