here is harris. she is next. >> harris: fox news alert senator joe manchin dealing the fatal blow to president biden's massive spending plan. and now democrats are headed into an election year divided without fulfilling some key campaign promises by joe biden. i'm harris "the faulkner focus" and you are in "the faulkner focus". the west virginia democrat announced yesterday with my friend bret baier that he could not vote for the president's enormous spending bill. sparking a total meltdown from the left. progressives lashing out at manchin in a fit of anger and name calling. >> if he doesn't have the courage to do the right thing for the working families of west virginia and america, let him vote no in front of the whole world. >> we all knew that senator manchin couldn't be trusted. you know, the excuses as he just made i think are complete [bleep]. >> bill: he continued to move the goalpost and never negotiated in good faith and obstructing the president's agenda. all i want for christmas is a sen

"the faulkner focus" with harris is up next. >> harris: we'll begin here. the elite media taking a hit. he is gone and in the wake of television anchor chris cuomo and his departure questions of sexual misconduct, credibility and more for cnn. the little brother chris who would do anything to help big brother andrew cuomo was punted from the network. the highest rated prime time host and maybe that's why they hung onto him for so long. now critics are saying they'll pay a price at the network for making that decision over and over. i'm harris "the faulkner focus" and you are in "the faulkner focus". cnn fired chris cuomo on saturday after court documents revealed he use sources to help his governor brother out of a sexual harassment scandal and now a new sexual harassment allegation against chris has come to light. for now the accuser is not known publicly and cuomo's spokesperson is denying the claim. however, just a hint at how cozy the elite media can be. they kept chris after this laundry list of controversies. he was caught shouting at a man who called

harris. >> harris: well they were, weren't they. we will look forward to the back story, whatever that is. we'll look forward to your questions for jen psaki. we'll take it live. >> i'll ask. >> harris: tammy bruce is a fox news contributor and host of get tammy bruce on fox nation. my first guest today in focus. you have a lot to say about this and interesting to hear reince priebus give us the perspective on what it could mean behind the scenes. >> he touched on the fact that biden and harris are unusable and not because of their staff. let me suggest that they really had nothing to work with. but the problem is -- as we heard as peter confirmed she actually worked with both the president and the vice president. symone sanders who is the one most recently to leave. the problem here is that she worked during the campaign, three years, first with bernie sanders and then with joe biden. but that entire campaign was about hiding, was about making sure that questions didn't have to be answered, that questions weren't asked, that it was

harris. >> harris: david spunt reporting from washington to give us that federal level view of all of this. in "focus" now two law enforcement veterans james smallwood, national fraternal order of police treasurer you are and the president of the san francisco police officer's guild. james, your initial reaction to what the feds are doing at this point? >> thank you for having me on, harris. i think the biden administration is looking at the same numbers we all are and frankly americans are tired of the violent crime in this nation and tired of being terrorized and victimized across our country and we can't continue to do the same things we've done year after year if we are going to expect a change in course on polling numbers and on violent crime. we have to do something different. the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and continue to expect a different result. that's what we're doing. we have to change course and hold these violent criminals accountable and focus on the policies that are looking at resolving criminal justice system and make sure we'r

. >> harris: fox news alert. all that bail reform by democrats is creating a horrifying new normal and it is spreading. police arrest criminals who end up back on the streets within hours and the far left is showing no signs of backing down from this controversial policy. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". last week in los angeles, 14 suspects tied to a string of smash and grab robberies were out on the streets just hours after police had arrested them. the union chief who represents nearly 1,000 prosecutors in l.a. county is accusing the district attorney, george gascon, of staying completely silent despite the explosion of violent crime. the lawyers are fighting over this now. in new york city a homeless man charged with beating a person last year was let back out on the streets. he did it again. he is out free again. republican congressman jim jordan said democrats only have themselves to blame. >> this is intentional. the democrats have legitimized crime. when you defund the police you s

", harris asked. "hi, harris, " the couple wrote, "that beautiful girl on the left is indeed your daughter savanna. " were you just floored? >> completely floored. you know, how wonderful is it to have a picture of your grown daughter. to just see, you know, how pretty she is and she had a big smile, and i could recognize my smile in her smile. >> reporter: i would just be staring at that photo constantly. >> i was at a loss for a while. i had to refrain from looking at it very much, because it was just too much after all these years. >> reporter: the couple told harris they had met his ex-wife and daughter in 1999. they knew them as alex and samantha. lee was married to a south african named juan geldenhuys, with whom she had a son. although lee never spoke about her past, the couple had long suspected that savanna was not juan's biological daughter. what did the couple tell you about how they had discovered this secret? >> you know, i think it was a gradual process on their part. >> reporter: the co

harry would remember. let's put it that way. >> and let me just ask you, finally, how are you going to miss him? what are you going to miss the most about him? >> well, you know, i lost my father a month ago and harry, as i said, was such a friend and mentor to me. be but when you lose someone who is that close to you, they are always with you. and i believe that harry will continue to walk by my side and the side of many senators every day. so his -- he is gone, physically, but his legacy, his spirit, who he was is going to be with us every day. every day. >> senate majority leader chuck schumer, i appreciate you, sir, joining us this evening on short notice. and for this unfortunate news. thank you so much for your time, sir. >> thank you, ayman. >>> we'll be right back. ight ba. ♪ limu emu... & doug ♪ ♪ superpowers from a spider bite? i could use some help showing the world how liberty mutual customizes their car insurance so they only pay for what they need.

it's not where the stats lead you. >> harris: chicago. >> i'm not minimizing the crime. >> harris: chicago is a democrat-led city. what are you talking about? i don't even know where you are going with this. and i don't know if it's a dog whistle for people watching you but why even bring up trump in any of this? he has nothing to do with what the democrats, das are doing. gascon in l.a. was fundraising the day after that music superstar producer avant, the day after his wife was killed in a home invasion in beverly hills. he was out fundraising to get the sentences changed for whether or not you commit a crime with a weapon. get them lowered. change the way we look at crime. make it better for the criminals. let's move on. meghan mccain out with a piece calling out new york city after a man set the fox all american christmas tree on fire. and here is what he said. i really don't think people want to live in a city where even the christmas trees need bodyguards. that's from meghan. she also called out a "new york times" article that said fox news christmas tree catches fire in manhattan. m

to commemorate former senate majority leader harry reid, who died yesterday. president biden issued a statement on senator reid's death, which said in part, harry reid was instrumental in passing landmark legislation that made a difference in the lives of countless americans and made our nation stronger and safer. his devoted service was not about power for power's sake. it was about the power to do right by the american people. note why the flag over the united states capital is at half-staff this morning. that's because we learned late yesterday that armor senate majority leader harry reid has died. he died yesterday at his home in henderson, nevada. a clip of one of his many appearances on capitol hill and he is one of the leaders in terms of appearances in the c-span archives. this is from 2013, senator harry reid, taking reporter questions at the u.s. capitol. [video clip] >> it's been held up for an average of nine months. doesn't need to be changed? yes. you always get through to me, look at all these people. you are a bully. [laughter] >> you mentioned

harris faulkner next. >> harris: we begin here with democrats trying to walk back the last 48 hours after the squad, the white house, the liberal media all went after senator joe manchin. they directed swift and brutal criticism at manchin for opposing president biden's massive spending plans. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". manchin announced sunday he is a no on the president's signature legislation and making news ever since. his fellow democrats gave it lots of oxygen. they went after him. throwing out words like betray el, scrooge, he can't be trusted and some words from omar that we can't put on tv. she had to be bleeped. some democrats are nervous. the "new york post" cover calling out dem bullies. one moderate dem telling the outlet i'm disgusted frankly with those who believe the path forward is to condemn him into submission. it is a path destined to fail and will only harden his heart and result in absolutely nothing. maybe that's why vice president kamala harris was pretty chill when asked about manchin's knock-out punch. >> do you feel that senator man

harris. >> harris: i wonder if that's going to include now everybody who was in the room with him yesterday when he was noticeably coughing and clearing his throat and coughing into his hand. i saw a lot of questions about that with him. hope he is okay. peter doocy, thank you. dr. marc siegel now fox news contributor, professor of medicine at nyu langone medical center. doctor, i will start with the obvious. it is a little disingenuous, if not flat out something else, for this administration to tell us that they didn't know this was coming in time to at least get a handle on testing because we know from the south african president and then today from the who, world health organization, that at least by thanksgiving we knew the 25th of november. some reports that it might have been earlier than that. your thoughts. >> you know, yesterday, harris, good morning. i just spoke yesterday to a doctor, the public health specialist at the national health organization in south africa who has been voca

senator, my former colleague harry reid. the nature of harry's and my jobs brought us into frequent and sometimes intense conflict over politics and policy, but i never doubted that harry was always doing what he earnestly, deeply felt was right for nevada and our country. when harry retired from the senate, we both celebrated the fact that our many differences had never really gotten personal. harry's and my paths in the senate were roughly parallel. we seemed to reach each institutional milestone within just a few years of each other. i truly appreciated the sincere and cordial relationship we shared behind the scenes when passions cooled. jon ralston and faiz shakir, gentlemen, thank you very much for taking the time to talk with us tonight. >>> coming up, how many of the people who tried to overturn the 2020 election on january 6th were already inside the capitol when the trump-inspired mob stormed congress? the latest on what we're learning, still ahead. on what e learning, still ahead. ho ho ho! not again. oh no. for t

>> harris: fox news alert. the stunning rise in crime overwhelming democrat red studies over america. from a threat under subway to deadly hold invasions in los angeles. it's all sparking a national conversation and series conference about america's crime crisis and where the outrage will lead. you're watching "outnumbered." i'm harris faulkner. i'm joined by emily compagno, kayleigh mcenany. dagen mcdowell, and former utah congressman and fox news contributor, jason chaffetz. in new york city, police are searching for a man accused of threatening to kill a woman on a subway with wooden daggers. that happened days after a phd student was stabbed to death near columbia university in manhattan. the suspect was previously arrested 16 times dating back to 2012 and was out on parole for a 2015 gang assaults. meanwhile, not even the wealthiest neighborhoods in los angeles are safe. a philanthropist and wife of music legend was shot and killed in a horrific robbery in her beverly hills home. the crime was so shocking

that triggers more anxiety. >> harris: what we do? if you are going to be on a plane, you're going to be in a mask. we are having an outbreak, a search. how do we do this? when they took alcohol away the first time, it did not have pretty results. it wasn't the great equalizer. >> tomi: prohibition does not work. there's an element of the culture of lawlessness that hasd the smash and grabs at the nordstrom and the neiman marcus. but also in the air and in the air comports itself. people believe they could do whatever they want and get away with whatever they want. there always bystanders hoping to catch a viral moment which is somewhat disgusting. furthermore, i want to go off of kennedy's point. i don't think it's alcohol that's the problem. harris, you mentioned we are in the middle of a omicron outbreak. with the ceo of southwest saying masks and airplanes don't do that much. filtration systems are great. i'm not saying we need to give up mask on airplanes, although i would love that route. we need to get to point to be honest abo

here is harris. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. president biden is under immense pressure to stop the crazy crime wave taking over democrat-led cities. not sure what the white house is choosing to show the president. if he sees this next video it is brand-new. he will know what he is up against. and what the rest of us are. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". in chicago a terrifying smash and grab robbery caught on camera. two men ransacking a luxury car dealership in broad daylight. the men ran off with items worth millions of dollars. some workers blame the city's dangerous new bail reform. the bail rules are fuel on an inferno. >> they broke the glass and i see these guys running. little kids, i didn't want to get shot here. >> they get arrested and get let go. how do you intend to ever solve the problem? >> harris: the biden administration is trying to convince anyone who will listen that it is sincerely trying to contain crime before it spirals out of control. we will need a working definition of what they

here is harris. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. president biden has words of warning about the covid variant omicron fueling a holiday surge. americans may be starting to tune him out as polls show they are frustrated with biden over how he has or has not handled the pandemic. i'm harris falkier and you are in "the faulkner focus". the president is pleading with americans to get vaccinated, get a booster as temperatures start to drop and drive anybody inside clustered together and cases spike. it's another challenge for a white house that has taken a massive hit in the poll numbers and struggled mightily to push through his big spending legislation in congress. here is the president. >> president biden: we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death if you're unvaccinated, for themselves, their families and hospitals they'll overwhelm. omicron is here and start to spread more rapidly at the beginning of the year. the only real protection is to get your shots. >> harris: so is the public going to stick with me on this? new f

harris faulkner is up next with "the faulkner focus". >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. mask mandates are fully and full steam ahead in effect for fully boostered, vaccinated americans. a question mark there for so many people why? california is now the latest state telling you to put the mask back on until at least next month, maybe longer. i'm hair use you are in "the faulkner focus". the governor of california announced a statewide indoor mask mandate goes into effect on wednesday and it will go until at least january 15th. it goes deeper than this. he is ordering unvaccinated people to get a negative test if they want to attend an indoor event with 1,000 or more people. new coronavirus cases in the state have jumped by 47% per capita in just the past two weeks. california joining new york and six other states requiring people to mask up in indoor public spaces. but republicans say democratic governors are going about it all wrong. here is florida's ron desantis. >> you give these people an inch they will never let go. they will take a mile. they are going to restrict

there will never be another harry reid. and his dominance of nevada politics as a gatekeeper, as a person whose ring needed to be kissed. and even if you kissed his ring, he still might slap your face with his hand and say he's not going to support you. he was absolutely ruthless in that role as well. but he was a tremendously polarizing figure both nationally and in the state because of the way he just had no patience for the niceties, as his famous hanging up on people without saying good-bye from president obama all the way to some person that a friend of his who might've called him. there's no one who was going to replace harry reid. his machine is still intact, and the gears are still being oiled by the same people he put in place. but it'll never be the same. and, again, i've used this word way too often and i'll use it again i think for the third time in this interview. his ruthlessness was part of what defined him. but he always thought he was being ruthless in service of what he thought was the right goal, includin

harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. democrats may need to choose between the president's economy busting spending plans or their own victory in 2022 and beyond. president biden's sinking popularity particularly among independent voters is a dream crusher right now for dems. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". the president's top aides are insisting he is going to run in 2024. however, outside the white house, democrats are expressing whether or not they are even sure that at the age of 79 biden should or will actually seek a second term. or if that's just what the white house wants everybody to believe. a new fox business poll puts the president's approval at 47%, disapproval at 51%. still under water with the american public on this poll and many others. a former republican white house chief of staff says biden 2024 would be a disaster for the democrats. >> no one should think joe biden is going to run for reelection. it is impossible. the kiss of death for the democratic party. he can't announce i

i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". the u.s. added just 210,000 jobs last month, far below expectations. economists had predicted 550,000 jobs would be added. now businesses across america are bracing for how the omicron variant of covid confirmed in at least five states that we know about, seems to grow every day, will actually affect their industry. again, this is an economic issue. the white house still saying it could take weeks before we know how severe the new variant is. president biden promising vaccine mandates are still the best way to get americans back to work and press secretary jen psaki has not taken the possibility of new lockdowns off the table. our own sean hannity says the president is not on the same page with the rest of america. >> no more lock downs, no mandates, no masks, no lectures, no scold. we're sick of it. joe biden is not a uniter. he does whatever his far left advisors tell him to do. >> harris: steve forbes is chairman and editor in chief of forbes media. always great to have you in focus. so you

kamala harris was wide eyed. she knows she can hear charlamagne and will look stupid want at least she did not cackle am no, i can hear you go. go ahead. it was a string of things. i am waiting for her to step up. i think her political ambitions were in jeopardy when she ran for president and didn't make it to iowa. >> joe? >> the perception of harris and this administration is hard to reverse. the commander-in-chief is too old and too incompetent and too disconnected from what is important to the american people to do the job. he doesn't put in the work either. plan-b was supposed to be kamala harris. now it's more like plan-f as shut the front door it. >> oh! >> it's christmas eve. >> sorry. i almost slipped. i caught it. >> you caught the front door. >> thank you. many americans agree that the vice-president is not equipped to be the commander-in-chief. we are seeing resignations. symone sanders will be leaving soon. if you are symone sanders why leave this job? being the vice-president's spokesperson given ho

harry mad at me? what makes you think that? he just hung on me. no, no, no. that's harry. he was just incredible. he always told me -- i mean, he looked out for me. he, you know, we had different strength, and we relied on each other all the time. we'd spend countless hours talking about things. he would interrupt the conversation. did you see this movie? did you read this book? he was very well read and a great deal of knowledge. but he was always telling me i got to get better shoes, better suits. he always had his shoes shined, he always had his haircut. he looked out for people. he just looked out for people. he had a deep love for landra. in the last few days i would call every day, and he couldn't get on the phone. he had a deep love for landra. when she had a car accident, that was the only time i saw him in tears. he was not that emotional on the surface, though he had deep emotions inside. they had an amazing marriage, a 62-year marriage where they depended on each other and he would rely on her for advice as well. so he was an amazing person. he was truly generou

harris. we had testimony of al qaeda re-emerging in afghanistan after six months, it's now three months later. i understand you probably can't get into a lot of detail in this environment but without the specifics is that bearing true? are we seeing activity there? ms. harris: as you rightly said i can't get into a ton of specifics here. what i can say is we are well positioned to monitor terrorist organizations. we continue to try to improve our intelligence picture day over day to make sure we are monitoring those threats. what i can tell you is that we are focused on making sure we have the capability to counter any threats we see crop up. mr. franklin: we unilaterally blinded ourselves in afghanistan. general mckenzie when he spoke before armed services testified that with 2,500 troops he could have held bagram and we could have maintained that i.s.r. capability. given the political caps of 700 people to defend the embassy, the airport, and bagram, it couldn't be done. but he wanted to ma

harris. >> harris: well, i mean, it is important for all these organizations to be talking about support for our officers right now because there is such a drum beat to annihilate their reputation and muzzle what they can do to protect the rest of us. during america's crime crisis, we talk about it daily on fox news, knowing protectors are there to mro tekt and serve and lift them up at times with needed, it is great to be part of that. >> amen. thank you to everyone. now here is "america reports." >> sandra: well done. we begin with fox news alert. crime crisis rocking the holiday season. huge groups of people overwhelming retail stores and brazenly stealing as much as they can run off with. >> john: police in california say coordinated thefts are by people who don't even know each other and are organizeod social media with many being set occupy snapchat. we'll have more on that later this hour. >> sandra: we begin with fox news

it kind of came out of nowhere. >> harris: i want to be fair. kamala harris isn't a scientist either but what must it feel like to have the white house now dr. fauci, several people working to clean up your house seven? >> it seems to have been a fair amount of the vice president and this is the least example. harris, i want to go back to another clip of fauci that we played in just a moment ago, the airplane masking clip. because a question was pretty broad, are we going to get to a point where we will stop wearing masks on airplanes and immediately the doctor says, i don't think so. now i think, i would maybe guess that he was talking about during pandemic times but that's not what he said. one of the big knocks on fauci is that he wants a pandemic level of fear that we have all experienced to continual because he remains influential and powerful and relevant in all of those things and he i think played right into that narrative by giving what seemed to be a sweeping answer that one of the off ramps that so many of us are waiting for is not co

host: that scene from harry reid's exchange on the capital back in 2013. the reporter he was talking to, that so-called bully was a senior writer for congress on the white house neal winooski and he's joining us this morning by phone to talk about the legacy of harry reid stop do you remember that moment on capitol hill? guest: i certainly do. thank you for having me this morning. it was a little bit unexpected. in those days when senator reid would have the tuesday afternoon stakeout at the ohio corridor, i was pretty much one of the regulars who was there every week working for roll call. it sort of became a recurring element with senator reid picking on a few select regulars in the crowd. the other one that comes to mind as you may remember was steve dennis who also used to work at roll call and works at bloomberg now. he had a moment where he was accused of asking a clown question in the parlance of harry reid for bryce harper back when he was playing for the nationals. this was sort of a recurring part of the sort of shtick, i would call it. host: we

>> harris: the woke folk are finally waking up. taking notice to the skyrocketing crime rates across america but not taking any of the responsibility for it, not yet, refusing to admit that progressive ideas like defund the police and they'll reform the way they like it are the real reasons things have gotten so much worse. as they now push for tougher policies, here is san francisco's mayor london breed. >> it's time that the rain of criminals who are destroying our city, it's time for it to come to an end. it comes to an end when we take the steps to be more aggressive with law enforcement, more aggressive with the changes in our policy, and less tolerant of all the [bleep] that has destroyed our city. >> harris: she is like the second democrat that dropped that word today. joe manchin did too. this is outnumbered. i am joined by emily compagno, kayleigh mcenany, fox business host of american dream home cheryl casone, and that's a great show by the way. in the center virtual seat, former congressman and fox news contributor sean

i am harris faulkner. joined by my cohost emily company went kayleigh mcenany, and entrepreneur and author of woke inc. i will start with you real quickly and get your topline thoughts. >> i think it is a remarkable point of the fbi has stayed back from getting involved in these cases of violence across the country, while they go after parents at school board meetings a number of months ago. i know this is not directly related to the local issues we are seeing across the country, but it speaks to the role of what the fbi stands for today. i think their absence in this matter speaks volumes. i personally think for all the discussion we have had about defunding the police at the local level, the conversation we haven't had is about defunding the fbi at the federal level. the next conservative president in the white house should talk about shutting down that institution because of what a failure it represents and the local problems we are seeing across our nations and cities, just a symptom of a deeper cancer

>> well, harry reid will be remembered and he'll be debated about because harry reid was extremely successful and effective at a period of high partisanship in congress, a period that continues. and there are many who will argue that he went too far in using the nuclear option to eliminate the filibuster for judicial appointments other than the supreme court. what is absolutely clear and i think is beyond debate is that it was essential for barack obama to have harry reid as a partner during the debate over the affordable care act. obama care would not have happened without the legislative wizardry of harry reid. and barack obama is not the only president to have benefited from harry reid. george w. bush and there is no love loss between those men, george w. bush and harry reid worked together to deal with the great recession. it was a democratic congress that passed the bush administration's approach to the great recession and harry reid was there doing what he felt was necessary for the nation at a very difficult time. >> i want to bring in david as well. obama made the point that they made

that's who harry reid really was. this guy who grew up in a place that is almost unimaginable, this tiny spac in a nevada desert, indoor plumbing, with siblings. they barely had any medical care. and his character was forged there. and whether you like him or not, as you know, willie, a lot of people did not like harry reid. he became a polarizing figure. his determination, his grit and the successes that claire mccaskill referred to and others have talked about in the legislative arena, especially his proudest achievement, the affordable care act which i've said many times, willie, should probably be called reid care. >> maybe so, given the work he did in the senate to push it over. and as claire reminded us, back in the days you needed 60 votes to get something done not so long ago. >>> john, let's talk a little more about the story you began to tell from searchlight. destitute, no indoor plumbing, he served on the nevada gaming commission in the '70s and '80s. which is the stuff of scorsese movies. he learned a few

[laughs] >> harris: what a tight circle. hollywood is a pretty tight circle and it doesn't always surprise me when people pick people for different reasons, it maybe they have a connection or maybe it's a favorite for that type of thing. i don't know. but what i do know is where you started it, kayleigh, and that is come up that we have to be offended by everything? no. you can go see the movie or not see the movie. i think leslie will be seeing it multiple times. that's her issue. [laughter] >> kayleigh: lauren, what do you make of the circular firing squad of the hollywood elite? >> lauren: enough is enough. everywhere you go -- did you hear what congressman bauman said about will back better, and the reason joe manchin didn't vote yes on it, because he's a white man and he doesn't like poor people or women or people of color? i mean, come on. maybe he's actually worried about inflation or what people of west virginia think, i could keep going. salvation army, their donations are down. one reason why that could be is becau

so the very successful nomination for harry truman. truman and harold burton they're friendly not the way his later nominees were friends print this was a political masterpiece by the president who is viewed by millions of americans who was the senator from missouri, and other senators refuse some other centers refused to recognize him as a senator. even some senior staffer said he sent over here bite gangsters. and then he was elected in his own right and strongly reelected to be the senator from missouri. and chosen by the first, second and possibly even his third choice. but harry truman had supported he had supported roosevelt's court packing plan. that was famous. everyone can get along with senator truman, he can be on the ticket because he did not oppose my judicial reforms. in truman becomes a president suddenly. uses this first nomination as a chance to seek some political unity. not just in washington but america as a whole. because americans then were led to openly say there should be a republican or democrat nominee to the

that is one aspect, harris. the other, to your point about the red flags, we discussed before about the negligent standard which you knew or should have known. as we know, when you get to a certain standard the level of intensity of that standard can become criminal. we talked about civil liability as well, and that parents can be held criminally liable for negligent standard and also civilly liable for that standard, to your point of whether you knew or should have known. did you fail to report that is, did you fail to secure the weapon after your child posted videos with that? we've seen a pattern of involuntary manslaughter in michigan as well as child abuse charges, we've seen a really interesting or jurisprudence use of the laws there. >> harris: i go back to columbine because that was the one that shocked our hearts and psyche, that was the beginning, if you will of the most horrible tragic, historical unfolding that we have watched limit young people. i do realize that one of the shooters was 18. the othe

the bond between william and harry had always seemed so strong. they'd lost their mother as children but found comfort in each other. that bond had been broken. harry and his wife, meghan, had stepped back as working royals in 2020 and moved to california. they bought a multi—million dollar mansion and signed big money deals with netflix and spotify. in february they announced meghan was expecting their second child. here we are. this is very nice. and a few days later, harryjoined his friend and talk show hostjames corden to talk about why he felt he had to leave the uk. we all know what the british press can be like. and it was destroying my mental health. i was like, this is toxic. yeah. so i did what any husband and what any father would do. it's like, i need to get my family out of here. but we never walked away. back in london, it was meghan who was front—page news. the times had published a leaked e—mail written in late 2018, it said between two senior palace officials, alleging meghan had bullied staff out of theirjobs. she denied th

harry was very encouraging. chuck schumer was less so and harry was really the one who got behind me and i won that and clobbered norm coleman by 300 points, if you recall. >> i do recall. my apoloapologies. >> smallest clobbering in history. >> a clobber is a clobber. my apologies. i thought he'd encourage you to run again after. john, i want to bring it back to you -- >> he actually did. okay. i see what you're talking about now. yes, yes, we talked about that. >> yes. history has been written. john, i want to toss it back to you. something interesting that i saw that the senate majority leader did. he actually tried to out law prostitution in nevada. you know, he learned to swim in brothels and that's a huge part of nevada's economics. he thought it was an impediment. i'm curious because he was so beloved by the people in the state. how did they feel about that? >> well, i can tell you there were a lot of people that didn't love harry reid for that, not just the folks who ran and worked in the brothels and th

harry reid could trust barack obama. and i can't tell you how many conversations i would have with harry reid, he would talk for five or seven seconds, then hang up. he was not for long conversations. he was someone about results. and i think history will show that he delivered results for this country, unlike many people who have been in that building in washington. >> what does it mean what chuck schumer said last night, if anything? >> it's encouraging. i think there are so many issues. but we're down to two, really. what elements of the build back better agenda can get passed? i still think there's a very good opportunity to pass good chunks of it, with joe manchin's support. the thing i think harry reid would be most focused on is saving our democracy. that's when we need the manchins and the sinemas, not just them, a few other democrats, with us. right now, you would probably short democracy. if the republicans do take over in 2022, and i hope they don't, at that point it's too late. democrats have to act right now

vice-president harris one of the least popular vice-president harris in history. article after article about the discord in the office. for instance, a few weeks ago 3 dozen sources told cnn, when they are annoyed some pass around a recent story mocking harris's lack of substantive work. one said white house urge kamala harris to sit at a computer all day in case emails come from. there is a rumor biden might replace her by nominating her to a supreme court vacancy. this is not surprising. the history of discord. >> that's right. it's plagued her in california and the campaign. staff infighting and a rocky relationship between her and other parts of the white house. she argued i am not well prepared for these positions. but the 30 staffers who had conversations with cnn they say they feel abandoned by her and there is no clear message we can get behind. during the campaign, her family members weighed in and took precedence over us. they also have formal positions and there are allegeses of mismanagement. where did the $35 million go? it's a hot bed of drama and in

harry knew that. and then our friend, dear friend, teddy kennedy comes down with cancer and is dying and we realize we're going to fall one vote short. you know, those were times when harry was just doing his darnedest to figure out exactly how to get the 60 votes on the board and keep them there. it was a death defying act in political terms and he got it done. it took focus on every single individual senator, he knew them, he knew their strengths and their weaknesses and he wasn't afraid to call them and tell them how much he was depending on them. that kind of looerp leadership m leadership made a difference. >> and i'm glad you mentioned the 60 votes because it lead to the question of the filibuster. harry reid penned an op-ed that had vow indicaadvocated for doiy with the filibuster. and it is a living event and it must change and the american people elect leaders to address issues, not to cower behind arcane parliamentary procedures. what do you think about that? and what did you think there mig

guest: if vice president harris if it was thought that vice president harris could persuade one of the 50 republican senators to support build back better, i think the democratic party would be thrilled. i think that would be a very good thing. i haven't seen any indication. i haven't seen any reports that there has been any prospect of any of the republican senators supporting build back better. that is really why the whole focus of discussion for a number of months is focused on senator manchin and his position. i think if there was any inkling that was possible, the vice president, the president, would be having those discussions. the democratic party would be thrilled i it. there were a few occasions when president biden was vice president, when he was able to persuade some republican senators to support some of president obama's significant legislation. he worked on that. i think given the polarization of our politics, those opportunities are few and far between. host: johnny in boston, you are next. caller: good morning. happy and healthy holiday to you. i have a couple of commen
