according to the white house's statement yesterday and my own conversations with the white house yesterday, it is abundantly clear that we cannot trust what senator manchin says. >> some of manchin's colleagues can't believe their eyes and ears. it is not just joe manchin who tanked the spengd bill. it is manchin and all 50 republicans. >> i give joe a lot of credit. the amount of abuse and flak he has taken from some of his colleagues from the left wing all over america. it is pretty shocking when you think about it. >> so now there is a stalemate. sounds like white house officials are going to wait to hear from joe manchin about what he could possibly get behind, but it is not entirely clear right now if whatever manchin eventually likes will be okay with other democrats. around we go. >> harris: and around we go negotiating. it is the swamp and what i said yesterday. it is not over yet. peter doocy, thank you. we get more insight into why senator joe manchin said the white house staff did absolutely inexcusable things to him. manchin has been the target of protesting for months. you see

peter doocy live outside the white house. peter. >> pete: economic indicators change, the white house messaging is changing. officials here and we are seeing the president and will talk about this later. >> harris: the national cemetery, arlington national cemetery, the president of the united states getting ready to lay the wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier on this veterans day, let's watch today. >> the president moves to the tomb of the unknown soldier to place the wreath. >> harris: we are waiting, a very quiet moment for the president to arrive and lay the wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. the motorcade has just pulled up. i'll put back peter doocy into focus here. talking about the challenges for the president today, this is one moment that unites the nation, something that is not happen nothing droves either outside of his party or in right now. we'll focus today on veterans day and you were able to know the president had left, you are there at the white house. give us a layout of his day today. >> pet

senior white house officials says the u.s. is prepared to provide more defensive weapons or more further assistance to defend its territory. but the specifics on that are unclear. the white house is also threatening unprecedented sanctions. >> we are having direct conversations with russia. we're very clear that russia should not invade the sovereignty of ukraine, that we must stand up and we are standing up for its territorial integrity. >> this is also ahead of reason and american officials meeting january 10th to discuss these issues. officials say that presidents biden and putin are not expected to be directly involved in the talks. jackie? >> jackie: thanks, rich. big question right now, can this standoff with russia be resolved diplomatically? part of with me now, christian whiten. christian, great to see you to get insight on this topic. as rich reported there, the call is underway as we speak. putin did request the call. we don't know what he wants to talk about. what do you think that message is that he wants to send

gianno, did it help that the white house, jen psaki came out slamming manchin's reversal, the white house says that manchin went back on his word. does this help considering nancy pelosi said it herself, we will get this done in the new year? how does that look like they're goings to bring these folks, including joe manchin, together in the new year to get this done? >> that's a great question. no, they're not helping themselves. aren't these the same tactics that they said were unpresidential and used by donald trump? why so while they're making things personal when it comes to policy that the entire country would need to embrace and the entire country hasn't embraced build back better. if you look at polling from earlier this month actually, an npr polled showed that 41% of americans, only 41%. 36 of independents approved and 13% of republicans. this was not a popular piece of legislation. joe manchin might have done them a favor if you want to be honest about it. the democratic party has been looking at part of the american people as out of touch individuals, this is the most reasonabl

>> to be determined, the white house in the meantime the white house insists no decision on nationwide mask mandate as more cities opt to bring them back. >> florida governor ron desantis failing to resist mask mandates for kids. griff jenkins joins us with more on the fight over the face covering. >> reporter: masks making a comeback, but will be we be required to put it back on? the answer is unclear. internal debate at the white house, the president dodged the question. >> we follow the science. what is "happening now" is all the major scientific numbers in the 25 person group we put together, all possibilities of what is "happening now". >> jen psaki insists no determination has been reached d faring to the cdc. >> we are regularly intelligent every given meetings how to continue to address the virus. there hasn't been a decision made, they made that very clear. >> this as covid response coordinator jeff sign says the new cases are coming from these 3 states, florida, texas and missouri with florida accounting for one in 5 infections, on the heels of the president announcing the cd

chaos in washington as gunfire erupted in a crowded tourist area near both the white house and the capital, suspects are seen taking off on foot, two people are shot and injured, witnesses say they heard as many as 20 gunshots, check out this exclusive video, two fox news producers were in a nearby restaurant when the shooting broke out and capture these images of fellow diners ducking for cover, packing into a corner for safety. clearly upset. the d.c. police chief says enough is enough. >> this really kind of speaks to the brazenness of some of the criminals in our community, this is unacceptable, that's the bottom line. we will find the individuals, we will hold them accountable. that's what we have to do as an entire city but when it comes to people who are not afraid to use guns in our community there has to be a measure of accountability and we have to make sure these individuals are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. >> dagen: this erupting just days after fans were forced to flee the washington nationals game after four people were shot outside the park and earlier in d.c

like i collation of the white house that was mind-blowing. they still need joe manchin's vote on literally everything, they are accusing him of being a liar and acting in bad faith. in that same interview there is an interesting quote that i will read it. he was talking about his place moving forward within the democratic party and he said, i would like to hope that he still belongs to the party but talk about progressives, if there was no democrats like me then they come up meaning the progressives, which is an eyebrow raiser, is it not? a >> kayleigh: a great find with that guy. not just progressive but the media, do you remember when the media called essentially john mccain a maverick for stopping president trump's bill on obamacare? you pointed this out on twitter and all of a sudden joe manchin is the one they are after and they are going to attack. we have this tweet, what's worse, that manchin is killing the legislative the legislative agenda and perhaps a future of democracy, too, or that he wasted most of this year to do it or half o

brand-new reaction from the white house and capitol hill moments ago. hello and welcome here and i am sandra smith. >> john: and i am john roberts in washington. our number one for me. our number three for sandra. the infected white house official did not come in close contact with any senior staff or the president, but speaker pelosi's office as her aide came into contact with democratic members of the texas state legislature last week as she shepherded them around on capitol hill. i am both officials attended the reception with the texas democrats, only six of whom who have now tested positive for covid. >> sandra: the nation's top health officials testifying before the senate committee today. there were some fireworks. republican kentucky senator rand paul and anthony fauci at one point going at it. listen here. >> it is a crime to lie to congress. do you wish to retract your statement of may 11th where you claimed that the nih never funded research in wuhan? >> senator paul, i have never lied it -- >> your microphone. >> senator paul, i have never l

i asked for white house about that today. since this was something that the governor of the states, said he didn't want to, this is not the case of federal officials trying to snake something pass the state level officials? >> secretary psaki: i am confirming here that tennessee is near the middle of the country, and some kids have to travel through there to get to their destination. we have been very clear that our objective is to treat these kids humanely. >> peter: that kind of talk is not satisfactory to republican lawmakers who represent tennessee in congress, who want more answers, because they feel like their rights, as a state, have been violated. >> it's a violation of tennessee's tenth amendment rights. no one was notified, not your state, your federal, your local officials. no one knew this was happening. >> peter: they know about it now, and it's a part of the official white house record. we expect that record -- and a south korean president moon and president biden will have a joint press conference scheduled for

the same goes for the white house. zoom is a central part of the white house, not ours. now big questions over whether china could be listening into the white house zoom conferences. david has the details for us but david could this be true? >> jonathan an interesting question but not only white house use zoom but the president often caught zoom with lawmakers to mother embers of the administration because after all in the middle of a pandemic. that is the way to use it. zoom has become so popular. many people concerned about the most powerful person on the road using this platform. indiana jim thanks white house chief of staff wrote in a letter expressing his concerns. he told fox news in a statement to cybersecurity risk comes from within zoom itself so we cannot be sure zoom for government is a secure platform just because at a meeting is not officially classified does not mean chinese communist party would not give an arm and a leg to listen in. the the fbi currently looking fa former zoom employee likely based in china accused of infiltrating zoom meetings in the un

they went after young kids in the trump white house. that's one of the most egregiou things that the great i called that reporter urging her not to report the diagnosis and she di it anyway. >> i think like you guys were just talking about, one of the reasons why we need an neutral arbiter and referee, is because we need to stay on top of this story. what's different about this story than what happened at the white house during your time, kayleigh, is most of what we've learned from the media that hav contracted covid are fully vaccinated. we know 83 percent of the new cases are of this delta variance , so it's people that are fully vaccinated getting this delta variant, and if more people continue to get it from the white house or nancy pelosi 's office or even just from this texas delegation, i think that is in the interest o public health and we all need t know. my husband and i are both fully vaccinated, proud to be a part of operation warp speed from th trump administration that got these vaccines up in the market today. so i think

that's where the white house press pool is gathered. and normally, on the right side at the top is where supporters would be. but, today the supporters are out at joint base andrews. and so after he takes a quick 10-minute flight from the south lawn, he is going to go to joint base before he gets on air force 1. and that is where everybody, all of his supporters, cabinet members, things like that who have assembled on this inauguration day will give him a fond farewell. >> looks like two people are walking across the run a right now. will: as you point out, steve, one of the most abnormal inaugurations. one of the most abnormal in history dating back to the 1800s when we have not had a sitting president of the inauguration ceremony of incoming president. expectation for our viewers, steve, you began to lay it out right there. any moment now in the next five minutes, 10 minutes president trump should make his way out of the white house on to marine one. he will then fly over to joint air force base andrews where a ceremony is expected to

house is getting cover compared to previous white house. >> the ongoing battle between the white house and facebook some suggesting the white house is trying to censor or scapegoat facebook for the administration not meeting the vaccination goal, matt, what is your assessment. >> facebook is allowing the spread of this information that is leading to deaths of americans, there is no dispute about that, icus particular parts of the country where people are very reluctant to get vaccinated those are states where there are conservatives governors and others that are listening to donald trump the don't want to get vaccinated, that is a serious problem and facebook has real culpability they must get that stuff off the network because it's killing people. >> here is a surgeon general from "fox news sunday". >> this is not about me or specific social media company, this is about the health of americans in reality that misinformation is still spreading like wildfire in her country aided and abetted by technology platforms. >> charlie how you respond. >> trying to attack people hesitancy about g

as been done in previous white houses fox news has requested comment from the white house about the change have not heard back. joining us now is someone who spent time at the white house george w. bush's white house who had a running mate named dick cheney but he was not on all the letterhead. ari fleischer joins us. ari there is 15 executive departments. it's all switched now to biden-harris. do you read anything into this? >> well, walter cronkite, let me tell you my take on this is either one of two things, either joe biden is being incredibly gracious. >> brian: yep. >> just wants to extend the rubric of the administration to his vice president or it's a real sign and it could be both that joe biden is definitely a one-term president at the age of 82 he has no intention of running for re-election and he is paving the way now for his preferred candidate to succeed him kamala harris. i strongly suspect it's the latter, much more than the former. >> brian: right. now, something else that's going on and might be because the former senator, former attorney general is new to the job. but, a

there were secret meetings between the white house and the media? >> that is correct and that report from a few days ago, the polls continue to show the president failing on every front, handling of the economy, solid majority blame the president and rising inflation, on crime mister biden is in the 30s. on the border in the 20s. add it up we live in a more expensive country, less safe country and easier country to enter illegally. hard to spin that, the white house is trying to work anyway and it appears to be working. from the cnn report on this, conversations were productive with anchors and reporters giving to talk with officials. since those meetings the coverage seems to have changed. washington post had an op-ed last week that says resident biden's media coverage is worse and more negative than donald trump was during his presidency and said it with a straight face, chuck todd saying the president's poll numbers are at his fault, we had dozens of examples but finite time. the good news is many of these organizations lost their credibility. th

what would you advise this white house to do or say? >> i won't give advice to the white house. i'll say this. the republican party is broken. this is what they want investigated but they don't want to investigate the insurrection that happened on january 6. they don't want to investigate the effort to overthrow the government. they don't want to hold steve bannon accountable. >> harris: i will let you guys go become and forth. >> think about what is being said here. during an entire trump administration we had democrat after democrat who wanted to investigate the lease on the hotel that the trumps owned downtown which of course was completely compliant. every business deal they wanted to look into. every one of them. they still -- you still have a manhattan d.a. that wants to look into the former president's financial dealings and yet where are those democrats now? and in every congressional campaign and every meeting interview for democrats who called for investigation for the trump family financials should be asked why aren't you saying the same thing on the biden administrat

what should the next move of this white house be? >> he should pull out all stops diplomatically, he should be leaning on our allies and the u.n. to stand with israel in this what i believe is an unprovoked attack on israel. not by the palestinians, by iran. the second thing is, he should be shipping all the warheads that he can to israel right now to go into this iron dome system that you just showed that is taking out these rockets and missiles coming in to israel. thirdly he should find out what else they want. this idea of $730 million of military sales is good. that's a good thing. by the way you know that that started under donald trump and the president could have -- president biden could have stopped it. it started under donald trump. he needs to have his own strategy now and find out what they need and pull out all stops to bring this is to an end. >> sandra: based on the criticism from some on the far left, do you believe the commander-in-chief will take into consideration that criticism, will politics play a part in what h

white house press association and the reporters there because when you are covering a white house, you all have to be in the same boat and work to get information out of whatever administration it is. so i don't fault my colleagues at the white house in the least bit. and if we look at the motivation, why did this person -- whoever they are, i think it said they're a gamer who wanted to get in there, it reminds me back during the obama/biden years when you had tareq and mikhail salahi who crashed a state dinner. we all remember that. do you remember that? the couple crashed this dinner, and then they wanted to brag -- there they are, look at that. >> yeah! [laughter] >> they got a reality tv deal out of it in the end. mikhail left poor tareq and ran away with neil schoen, the guitarist for journey. [laughter] so that didn't work out so well. -- >> [inaudible] >> maybe the questions are relegit, but it's like why don't you just leave the job of covering the white house to the journalists in there. now, this will probably lead to more scrutiny of those with access. but, you know, at the

the white house can do that. i just think this one didn't work because of the tiny little desk. >> harris: why would you want to do that? when i've been on the road to iowa for town halls and do we want to try to hide certain -- people know that we are using a prompter part of the time and they know when we're not quite frankly. and i think it's cool for people to see exactly what's going on. why not show us that transparency? is it ugly or something that i don't know about? >> they aren't confident in joe biden anymore and hide the props. if a president is known for being fast on his feet, able. you hide them when the criticism. his staff is overzealous in protecting him which makes you wonder what aren't we seeing behind the scenes if they worry about letting biden show up spontaneously. it is backfiring. >> harris: do you think this feeds at all into the low approval numbers? >> absolutely. look at how low his leadership numbers were there. all of this adds up to a presidency that's in trouble and unpopular. >

house. >> so the white house is trying to project strength without exacerbating tensions with china and the goal of today's meeting is to present a strong and united front between the u.s. and japan for both china and north korea. you can see vice president kamala harris just finished meeting with the japanese prime minister. yoshida socha will be meeting here followed by a news conference in the rose garden. we are talking about how things are starting to feel like they are getting back to normal here, and they are. but one thing that's noticeably absent is a state dinner or any kind of meal. jen psaki says of solely because of the pandemic. >> kristin fisher at the white house, thanks so much. it will be interesting to see what the relationship will be like between the prime minister and president biden. i they played a lot of golf together even with your dock yossi emma. and he went on to win the masters this year. a good relationship with a few bumps in the road. >> sandra: we will watch for that bilateral meeting happening shortly. as we await that, more on the progressive demo

peter doocy at the white house. let's bring in art laffer, former adviser to presidents reagan and trump. great to see you, art. we see the down is down about 522 points right now. there's a couple of things that might be impacting that. one is this omicron surge and as you heard jen psaki said, she believes the markets are selling off was of the failure of the passage of the build back better bill. what is your take? >> of course she would say that. i want you to know i'm vaccinated and i have my booster. i don't want them after me. just teasing. no, you have a market that is selling off because of the fed policies of winding down the buy backs of government bonds. there's still this issue that is not dead of build back better. it's not. maybe break it up in to pieces. the change is long due and i'm not worried about the decline today. >> martha: so what about the insistence that companies larger than 100 employees have to make sure that everyone is mandated? ocean will be very involved in this. they have to figure

and a democrat will be in the white house. so, it's not so much about the policies you put forward, it's the virtue of fighting standing up for what we believe in. that is what the republican party has lacked previous to donald trump becoming the president. they got to get that spirit and they have got to stop these investigations. they have got to stop this politicized department of justice in the biden administration that is sending out indictments for people who don't show up to congress to testify about a commission that is unhistoric, uncongressional, unamerican, and should end. they have got to stand up to the abuses coming from the biden administration. that is what will spur them to an even more seats next year. >> 15 seconds before we have it go. a lot of democratic retirements. are there any possibilities that republicans flip some of those seats? >> absolutely. one of the reasons -- some of them are in very blue districts. and they are quitting because they know they are going to lose their gavels and power. this is

straight from the white house? >> secretary psaki: data projected numbers and internal documents, foreign policy discussions. >> reporter: data about how many unaccompanied children and migrants are crossing the border on a daily basis. i understand eventually will be made public the -- but why not right now. >> secretary psaki: we don't sound policy make public or confirm private decks and policy documents come as no administration wood. >> reporter: can you confirm how many illegal border crossings every day? >> secretary psaki: i would send you to the department of homeland security and cdp. >> reporter: one more question on immigration. kevin mccarthy requesting a meeting with president biden about this issue and asking for an advisor to a knowledge of the crisis. will president biden take that meeting and will he acknowledge there's a crisis? >> secretary psaki: the president and this administration's focuses on digging out of the dismantled and inhumane immigration approach of the last administration. that's

giving the white house plenty of time to prepare. this is "outnumbered" and i remember carlie joined by lauren and cheryl. and tomi lahren and my fox and friends first co-host todd. the lines for covid testing stretching on for hours as daily cases driven by omicron reach the highest level in the year. there are warnings the surge will be 5 times larger than the peak last winter. the white house rejected a plan back in october that have would ramped up testing in time for the holidays. critics charge the biden team was so fixated on vaccinating americans it left testing on the back burner. the president promised to spend billion dollars on testing but test centers across the country are overwhelmed and home kits are tough to find. the president addressing that moments ago wrapping up a covid briefing. >> if we had known we would have gone harder and quicker if we could have. we are able to purchase 500 million at home rapid tests to be sent to the american people for free. >> the president knew the importance of testing when he was a

let's go to the white house lawn. >> white house officials are doubling and trippling down on the president as comments on facebook. and the officials at the white house see this as a way to take aaggressive and stance to root out misinformation on facebook, on twitter on any type of social media, a way to stop this. right now we're looking at the delta variant, incredibly serious around the country if you look at the numbers, they're climbing when it comes to the delta variant. two weeks, griff, after the president declared independence from the virus on july 4th, those numbers continue to go in the wrong direction. let's look at the latest numbers just a few hours ago from the c.d.c. about 160 million and a half people are fully vaccinated. that's 48.4% of the total population not nearly where the white house wants to be in the pandemic. the president is looking at the social media companies as a platform, around a dozen responsible for 65% of the misinformation online and they're called the misinformation dozen. here is what the president said yesterday on his way to camp david. >> what'

the white house reached out to him? >> press secretary psaki: we have been in touch with senator manchin for many weeks and will continue to move forward. not only is he a key partner to the president and to the white house on this package, but on his agenda. we will remain in close touch with him. >> reporter: and in regards to -- what are the efforts made with a response to ally such as japan, e.u., britain and has there been any contact with china to discuss the situation? >> press secretary psaki: well, we have had intensive consultations at multiple levels with allies and partners in the region and around the world. i would expect many of those would come through the state department. so it is certainly referred to them for more specifics. >> reporter: you said that you might take action. you referred to burma and the president's statement he only uses burma. is that indicative of a former shift of how to refer to that confusion? >> press secretary psaki: our official policy is that we say burma but mia martin cert

members" adding "in sp eight actively engage with the white house white house, department of justice, department of homeland security." that was written around the time folks around the country expressing concerns at public school meetings over masks and vaccine policies. in response to the letter sent by an sba october 4, 2021's of the organization of the attorney general was ordering all u.s. attorney offices and local fbi offices to reach out to local and state law and officials to coordinate efforts on the problem. under oath general garland denied knowledge of any coordination, but the new revelations have some lawmakers seeing red. the biden administration coordinated with national school board activists to go after parents with arkansas senator tom cotton. i said it before, merrick garland should resign in disgrace. the white house for its part called it standard practice to meet with outside stakeholders on a range of issues. it also admitted it contacted doj after being notified about threats of violence. as for those talks commit the administration insists, we discussed pol

ari fleischer, for white house press secretary, spent the entire day with president bush. take us through those first moments, you were there for every minute of it. >> the motorcade pulled up to the electrical i got a page saying a plane hit the world trade center. i thought accident, small plane, 30 seconds before andy card whispered in the president's right here i was leaning against the left wall of the room 20 feet from the president's left shoulder and got a second page and the second page told me a second plane hit the second tower and i knew it that moment it was terrorism. started to brace and get ready for everything i would have to unfold as the united states defend itself. laura: the president had to be whisked away for national security reasons. to the extent you can tell us what happened please do tell us what happened shortly thereafter. >> the secret service did not think we were under immediate threat otherwise they wouldn't have left to go to the gym at the school where he addressed the nation, talked about the terrorist attack on our country and we quick

coronation. >> the national school board association sent it to the white house and the white house promptly called you and said sick the fbi on parents. >> i did not beak with anyone from the white house while i worked on this memorandum, this memorandum reflects my views we need to protect public officials from violence and threats of violence. >> it will be interesting to see what jen psaki has to say add it at today's white house briefing. >> john: she is back from her covid quarantine, we will watch that for everybody at home, thank you. >> anita: for more on this, let's bring a fox news contributor bill mcgurn, a "wall street journal" columnist and former speechwriter for president bush. good to have you here to weigh in on this. new revelations now of a letter from the and sda to the white house before the attorney general's memo came out. let's look at the timeline that shows on september 29th, the nsba sent a letter to the white house warning about parents showing up to the school board meetings and asking tough questions in a few days later on october 4th, likening parents to domes

the white house is disagreeing with the jct's analysis. there's some analysis to back up the white house's claim that some taxes are getting cut from the middle taxes. the tax policy center has their own analysis out. they said the bill's individual income, payroll and estate taxes provisions would cut taxes on average for households. however, including all major provisions including corporate income and excite tax increases, 58% of all households would pay more. so today the white house is agreeing there's no such thing as a free lunch but disagreeing at the end of the day who will pick up the tab. neil? >> very interesting. hillary, thanks for that. hillary vaughn. we're just getting this in from bernie sanders who is not to keen on the go-ahead vote scheduled for thursday on the infrastructure only package. the $1 trillion or so bipartisan efforts. without it being attached to far bigger spending commitments, let's be clear in the bill is passed on its on on thursday, this will be in violation of the agreement that was reached in the de

not if the white house blocks it. a "wall street journal" op-ed, dr. siegel. public health data and says one question is whether a particular variant is making infected people sicker. this answered is easily by looking at publicly available data from the cdc and comparing hospitalizations in regions with a new variant and it is more common. we analyzed the cdc data and found hospitalization data support none of the alarming headlines suggesting delta is more dangerous than earlier strains. the truth, please. >> one of the co-authors of that from the university of california san francisco tremendous, voice of reason in the pandemic. 100% right here. the delta variant is more easily transmissible. that's the issue. it is not making people sicker or more hospitalized. the reason it's tilting more towards younger people under 50 is because the older group is vaccinated more. it spreads more easily. not more serious in terms of how sick you get. >> harris: dr. siegel. thank you very much. good to have you along. >> thanks, harris. >> harris: time to call the white

confirmation from the white house, too. she said that this was a person in minnesota according to the minnesota public health who was vaccinated and found to be positive of covid over the holiday. the thanksgiving holiday but days before had previously traveled to new york city at a convention here. and yesterday we found out that there was the first confirmed case in california. now they will look at all of this but you and i both know after living for nearly two years with this killer virus, it doesn't know travel bans and restrictions and all of that. it is what it is. it is killer, makes people very sick and can be on the move if those people are on the move. in fact, new testing restrictions are what biden wants to announce today. for american travelers and he wants to extend mask mandates for public transportation. again peter doocy at work pressing dr. fauci on new burdens for americans but not for illegal immigrants coming across our southern border. watch. >> that's a different issue. when you talk -- we still have

the white house has failed on this measure. what they should be doing is what the previous administration was doing actually and that is promoting that schools open five days a week or provide hybrid programs and those other things for parents this those communities who don't feel comfortable sending their kids back. >> one of the things the biden administration is undoing is much of the immigration approach of the previous administrationment listen to stephen miller who was a top adviser to former president trump. >> this legislation proposes serving applications to previously deported illegal immigrants and giving them the chance to reenter the country on a rapid path to citizenship. the current administration has already dismantled border security, restoring catch and release and, additionally, gutting interior enforcement, issueing a memo preventing i.c.e. from removing the vast majority of criminal illegal immigrants that it encounters. jon: what do you think about that? does he have that right, in your view? >> stephen mi

if i read that correctly, is the white house advocating for law breaking? >> reporter: well, they're certainly encouraging it, i think. todd and carley, it's game on after numerous lawsuits that prompted the federal appeals court to issue the stay on the administration's requirement for workers at companies with at least 100 employees to get the shot or face weekly testing. but the doj is fighting back in a filing, saying, quote, the occupational safety and health administration a's detailed analysis of the impact shows that a stay would likely cost dozens or hundreds of lives per day but by contrast it's speculative and remote and don't outweigh the interest of protecting employees from a dangerous virus, this as the white house is encouraging businesses to ignore the stay. >> we think people should not wait. the administration clearly has the authority to protect workers and actions announced by the president are designed to save lives and stop the spread of covid-19. >> reporter: but one restaurant group ceo warns this could put people out of business. >

they want to bar the vaccine mandates that are coming from the white house. this is a stunning development. texas senator john cornyn next. >> in is not about whether people should choose to get vaccinated or not. they should. that's their choice. not mine or president biden's. s. so when my windshield cracked... the experts at safelite autoglass came right to me... with service i could trust. right, girl? >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ [uplifting music playing] ♪ i had a dream that someday ♪ ♪ i would just fly, fly away ♪ as i observe investors balance risk and reward, i see one element securing portfolios, time after time. gold. your strategic advantage. it's my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on migraine medicine. it's ubrelvy. for anytime, anywhere migraine strikes, without worrying if it's too late, or where i am. one dose can quickly stop my migraine in its tracks within two hours. unlike older medicines, ubrelvy is a pill that directly blocks cgrp protein, believed to be a cause of migraine. do not take with strong cyp3a4 inhibito

and what is the white house doing equivocating, as morgan said. over to you. >> emily: that's exactly right and that somehow is feeding into the narrative that israel is somehow "provoked" and "deserve" the wrath of hamas. i'd like to seat my time to morgan and have her explain the intersection and difference between hamas as a terrorist organization versus israel which is a state and why we are receiving such a different narrative, such a mixed message from, for example, so many congress members like rashida tlaib and alexandria ocasio-cortez somehow equating the two is one in the same, as equal players on the international front, morgan? >> morgan: the bottom line is that hamas is a designated terrorist organization from the state department and israel is our ally. somehow we were supposedly questioning our alliances are not working well with our allies which was hogwash and that is what we are actually potentially seeing here. there was a strong statement by nancy pelosi and others in the democrat party, i will give her credit for that but when

adding gummy female interns around the white house. why would you want to commemorate it? >> did you have to say gummy female interns? did you write that line. a horrible image. that is -- i can see the little $7.25 a gallon. if you look closely you see where they want gas prices to go, look closely. >> you can't depict that in gingerbread. it has got to be digital as you get to the west wing. also today the president met with ceos to show he's on top of the supply chain crisis. only someone else ran the meeting and you would swear biden has never been to the white house. >> brian will moderate, but i intervene with questions. isn't this a pretty place? >> isn't this pretty? like he has never been there before in his life, this is why, moments like this that explains the slipping whole numbers and the federal trade commission after he met with the ceos or didn't, the federal trade commission demanded all these large retailers hand over their files to try to explain their study look into why those shelves are empty, they will try to bla

is the white house correct? >> the american people are understanding something the white house desperately wishes they didn't, looking at this fairly and objectively we come out from an unprecedented shutdown, pandemic, there was $4 trillion pumped into the economy just before biden took office. there is going to be a transitory of inflationary events in the immediate aftermath of this that is to be expected. what the american people understand the policies are exacerbated. for example raising energy cost the keystone pipeline. again renewing on foreign energy. openly encouraging energy prices to increase. is not just gas, plastic takes energy to produce anything prices are going up consumer and businesses understand that and further bidding and exacerbating this. for the borrowing with the build back better or the 2 trillion-dollar march of this year by the democrats. yet more money chasing the same amount of goods. where is this money going to come from is the fed going to. it, either way interest rates and co

i think it's time for the white house physician and the biden white house to come out and say if there's a reason why he's wearing a mask and not being consistent with the cdc guidance? are they just not being transparent with the american people? something is not adding up in all of this. >> john: it could be message compromised. there's no evidence the president has any kind of medical condition like that give that bellamy switch gears and talk about immigration for a second. alexandria ocasio-cortez and 34 other democrats are citing racial reckoning to oppose emigrations and custom enforcement prioritizing the removal of immigrants who have aggravated felonies on their record, or who are members of gangs. how does reducing the priority for deportation of those individuals make this country any safer? >> it doesn't bear the minority groups are the ones that suffer the most from violent criminals and gangs. they are preying predominately on their own ethnic groups. people who come here illegally, or legally add want to trying make a better life. but the gangs and the violent felons need

we're talking about jake sullivan, the national security adviser at the white house to president biden. he's not mentioned by name in one of durham's indictments but according to several of our sources, he's the foreign policy adviser mentioned in one of the indictments specifically the indictment of clinton campaign attorney michael sussmann. he was charged in september or two months ago in september. he's the former clinton campaign attorney charged with lying to the fbi about alleged connections between donald trump and the kremlin. his information did not pan out. the indictment alleged an unnamed campaign lawyer that was in contact with a clinton foreign policy adviser. the adviser was jake sullivan, the president's national security adviser. according to the indictment, the two were in touch in september 2016. there's no indication that sullivan is a target of the durham probe. however we're told that he did receive some information from that unnamed campaign lawyer. tomorrow igor denchenko will be in cord. his diamond mentioned pr executive one. we know that is a clinton confida

nature to this white house. it effects not only the morale of the working staff of the white house, it also effects the qualities of the president's direction and its leadership. because they are not listening, they are not reaching out. and they are waiting for their guidance from him rather than helping him shape the right decision. >> brian: biggest surprise for me. i thought they get this stuff set and maybe the policies we would be debating they can't get their playbook and they can't get everyone to line up the right way. hey, kayleigh mcenany, karl rove, your mission now is to have a great christmas. thanks so much. >> thank you. brian. >> merry christmas to you. >> brian: right back at you and good luck with your book, cailee. one of the adversaries testing biden like never before. what is vladimir putin end game and how will president biden respond? we have that story straight ahead. ♪ (burke) this is why you want farmers claim forgiveness...

they are asking the white house to take care. to ask you consider all tools available to lower gasoline prices. they hope to consider these tools and others to make gasoline more affordable for al americans. officials are always trying to balance ways to be replaced supplying 55 percent of the statewide propane needs. they want this to go away entirely in the shutdown could mean about 45 percent less crud in pennsylvania. listen to what we just heard in the briefing. >> what is the best possible outcome for whatever happens with this reduced output? >> we hope to engage constructively in these negotiations as canada has a close ally in the energy trade. these discussions between the two countries should be viewed as anything more than that and certainly not an indicator that we are going to shut anything down it is something we do not plan to do as it relates to the current pipeline. >> as of yesterday gas prices were pretty high on average. propane is up 54 percent. natural gas up 30 percent. they did not have an answer on when
