Together with a lot of others has been a modernday miracle. And it has really been acknowledged as such. Kennedy drinks on me at maralago. But todays coronavirus summit comes amid a New York Times report that pfizer offered the white house priority for more doses. But the Trump Administration turned that offer down for the times also reporting that now more doses will not be available from pfizer until june. Today the president pushed back and set americans will absolutely get first dibs. Here you go. So back we have worked very well with the companies it. But if her any reason we have any problems we will be instituting the defense production act. We will make sure that we do not have any problems very long. Before giving province customer getting things up for the present also said the next administration will benefit from all these medical advances. And the administration after that. And that one as well. By the next administration, he means his second term. Were going to to deceive the next administration is. But whatever the next administration is, will really benefit by what we have been able to do with this. Kennedy s are these vaccines the miracle the president claims . And logistically how the distribution work so all americans can have access for joining me tonight competitive enterprise senior fellow i listen to this compass he most impressive resume ever run the show. He is an associate professor of surgery at the Mount Sinai School of medicine. He is also an attorney and an economist. My god your family must be proud of. Welcome to the show. Did someone call you into the lou dobbs show . Thanks for having me know they didnt. Back in that case say whatever you want. You are a genius. And clearly the president is excited. You know pfizer sort of throws a little bit of cold water on the notion that we will have millions and millions of vaccines available. But what do you see from your lens as an economist and a surgeon . Soon it is really a fantastic achievement. Vaccines for new virus new disease usually take about ten years. Here we are in ten months were on the verge of approving two, several are in the wings. And i dont think this is going to be a problem with the fisa hundred Million Dollars dose limit. Because the same day or more or less the same day that isaac came out then moderna came forward with good results for they have committed 100 million doses. And right behind them we have j and j, johnson and johnson and astrazeneca. Well have a lot of different doses. Its not a bad idea to have different companies. Because you just dont know whos vaccine is going to work. And it may work for different groups different ways. And there are different logistical issues with the different vaccines as it turns out. Kennedy that is a really good points. Obviously time is important point with this virus. There still a lot of things we dont know is all this unfolds. So what we rely on complex anecdotal information. A lot of people posit with what they believe and not the so the facts. And wordofmouth information which it could also be wrong. So if you hear from your neighbor helen that Johnson Johnson has the better vaccine we be able to pick . Or will you get jabbed with whatevers available . Theyre probably going to be coming out at different times slightly different times. But i referred to before about the logistical issues, the Pfizer Vaccine requires that it be stored at extreme cold. Not every hospital not every drugstore will be able to have that. It is a very specific and difficult distribution problem. That some of the other vaccines are not going to have. So that Moderna Vaccine has to be sold and regular freezers. The astrazeneca and the Johnson Johnson vaccines will not require freezers. In the Johnson Johnson vaccin vaccine, at least currently configured is a one does vaccine rather than a two dose vaccine. So when that becomes available many people they opt for that backseat if it as effective or even a little less effective. Simply because they are much more likely to want to go only a single time. We already have a lot of problems and people do not want to get vaccinated. Going to be a lot easier. Kennedy glad you brought that up. Shes introduced a bill to make vaccines in mandatory, make the Covid Vaccine mandatory in new york state. I have a few problems with that for a number of reasons. I want to know as a doctor and a competitive enterprise or, how do you feel . There is precedent for making vaccines mandatory. In all 50 states our children get vaccinated for childhood diseases. Minority of states have mandates for Health Workers to get vaccinated against influenza, many private institutions like hospitals and Nursing Homes require their people, their staff to be vaccinated. Kennedy im okay with that. Says she is pushing for a broad mandate a broad government mandate. This comes on the heel just a month ago of the Bar Association saying there should be a statewide mandate with no opt out for religious objections. So i think they are being a little, they are jumping the gun a bit. There being a little overbroad and over coercive. We went to aim any types of coercion very narrowly at the people you think it is going to benefit the most. And that is going to be the most vulnerable. The elderly, the people in Nursing Homes, the people with preexisting conditions and no underlying medical conditions. And you do not want to have to mandate it for everyone. The interesting thing by the way about this new york law which very few people probably know is that a new york state they are not going to allow the vaccine unless a new York State Task force. Kennedy we have heard that from the governor. We will see if he follows through on that after inauguration day. So much to be learned. I hope you come back, very insightful thank you doctor. Stomach thank you. Super you might be needing a doctor after this holiday season. Not just because of the covid, new polls show since the pandemic began, Mental Health is at its lowest point in two decades. One in three americans have confessed to binge drinking. That seems like a low number. And even divorce rates have inched up worldwide at the state home lockdowns have extended. So is getting covid better or worse than losing your mind . And your spouse. And your liver. Lets meet tonight party panel prep lgb and strategies president is emil chris barron. Recent. Com reason we have katherine manguward sound run with good books. And grew corn and principals and former spokesman for president clinton d. O. J. Michael gordon is back, welcome one at all yea. Hey there. Kennedy cant stop onestop. Chris brenneman to start with you. The shutdowns have been i think theyve slowed down on the bench again think that was a fun zoom activity in april and may then i think people want whatever and they sort of slowed down what you see out in the wilderness . What i think its time the shutdowns have been a complete and total disaster. They have been a complete failure. We have shut down huge parts of our economy. People are gaining more weight for they are becoming more vulnerable to covid19 forcing higher rates of drinking, drug use depression suicide and guesswork, we are still having another round of the pandemic despite the fact that everyone has been told for nine months to stay at home where mask socially distanced washer hands only by cross eyed. The fact is, these shutdowns have not worked. President trump got criticized earlier this year we said we cannot have a cure thats worse than the disease. And unfortunately that is exactly whats happening. And by the way tonight were hearing pennsylvania may shut down jims tomorrow jims which give people the opportunity to be healthy. Give people the opportunity to make themselves a less vulnerable to covid19. On the government of pennsylvania thats trying to look busy and look what theyre trying to do something is now talk about shutting down jims. Making their population more vulnerable. Kennedy i understand shutting down like classes or people are really close and certain machines and weights we are sweating everywhere. But i dont understand shutting down pools. I talked to fellow swimmers like this is so dumb. Last i checked lorena clint kills microbes. Not just that kennedy. Think about how clean jims are normally. Its one thing to say youre closing down a bar, okay fine. Jims are already incredibly sanitary place to begin with. Jim owners have spent hundreds of dollars trying to make them even more safe. Yes absolutely. Katherine lets talk marriage. I have loved you for so long f. I think tonight is the night. I think what happened with a lot of people had an escape hatch every day they would go to work. They would go to poker night, bingo night and everyone saw hang out the spouse. That was 20 forms a day, what do you think . Spending theres absolutely a situation here we are asking marriages and Nuclear Families to be everything to people. Because some as we were just discussing, a kind of irrational and erratic choice of shutting down all kinds of activities that in retrospect should have stayed open in the earlier stages could have been safe. Could have been a state where he let Business Owners use or own common sense and let customers make their own decisions and set up across that made everybody angst he and see. At the same time, there is really we started for a very strong plays and think thats worth keeping in mind. We were at a point of historically low divorce rates and really historically low rates of a lot of things you would want to discourage including teen pregnancies abortions all kinds of things. Socially and some things we went into this pretty strong. I think a little spike rates and divorce rates are be terrible for the people undergoing it, its worth keeping in perspective that were starting for a pretty good place. Kennedy michael you say covid ruined everything heres what i think we should about the binge drinking for heres what i would recommend people. Start making crack cocktails but it takes time patients and mone money. You cant go binging six or seven manhattans that you make with a 200dollar bourbon. I dont think im wrong here, michael. [laughter] listened covid has ruined everything unless you own a Grocery Store did not have any friends to begin with. Ive got the exact opposite view of your other panelists. I think what has happened is people about their guard down. They are not do the things they need to do to contain the virus print that is why weve seen a spike. The u. S. Design significantly worse in our polite neighbors to the north. If we were as good as canada, we would have a wonderful thousand fewer deaths in this country. Kennedy if we were as good as canada good lord. Okay you can say that about hockey. And maple syrup in writing this but thats about it. I love canada a soft spot for canada. But we are better than canada. Are the panel returns earlier President Trumps legal team now looking through the courts trying to flip the election their way. Will this hail mary payoff .

Kennedy the Supreme Court today rejected a bid to decertify pennsylvanias election results. But the fight continues in pennsylvania with two more high court cases filed over the states mail in balloting. The commonwealth i should say. That state of texas assuming multiple swing states alleging theyve been disenfranchised by Russian Election procedure changes by officials in georgia, michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin. The president s lead counsel Rudy Giuliani had vowed to continue the fight to overturn the election until inauguration day. But is the president running out of roads to victory . Or could one of the Supreme Court cases change the entire situation. Here to break a data turning Fox News Contributor emily compagno. Welcome back to the show emily. Hello entity. Kennedy hello darling. Supreme court rejected one of the pennsylvania bids for tell me about that and how is that different from some of the other cases that are still lingering in the ether . Tobacco case of the one they denied today the injunctive relief, that was arguing the state legislature had no authority to allow, basically a no excuse mail and voting part that was a blanket argument. That is what senator ted cruz said. If these merits are so important i myself will argue in front of the Supreme Court. The one that is lingering still is the one that says there was no authority for them to extend the deadline of the mail in balloting. That is what the Supreme Court ruled on, one applicant said victory parched is output anything that came out after that deadline that was extended keep those in the separate box just in case. Before that was a samuel alito decision correct . Select correct. That was in order its not quite a decision in the way goes through an analysis of the merits. Its what he says. [inaudible] super thats missing this guy on death row once a stay and they say okay fine instead of sitting around all night thinking about it. Chin stroking. Will the president be victorious here in some of these cases to the point where he will still be president we will have to talk about javier ever again . I highly doubt it to be honest quickly went to talk with when you touched on with texas. Okay thank you. That was filed by the Texas Attorney general. He is suing georgia, pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin and saying i want you to be kept out of the Electoral College process for the moment. He is arguing all of the individual cases are arguing. The individual bodies lacked authorities to change the rules. The rules were thus unconstitutional part and the rules were and equitably applied. Kennedy how can one agc for states . I love it its bold, fun. But it is weird. He is going all in part also as a separate case in error jonah were just today the lawyers argued to the judge please hurry up with their decision so we can add arizona to that one. Its five states to hail mary to be honest. That too comes into play thats what all the legal challenges have to be in for this the day that will live in infancy anthony. Make sure theres time for various courts to hear these challenges bush v gore that went on a little longer didnt it . Yes and Justice Breyer in his dissent on that casey said action the date that really mattered is for this year the 1h is the date the Electoral College actually meets. And note that wisconsin will not make the safe harbor deadline. They are breathing a sigh of relief. Their college will still count given the backdrop that this place up against. Safeco badgers and my right . Sure. Alright so what is most likely to happen here . All of these cases are dismissed or one or two more get to the Supreme Court. And if so which ones . I think if anything the one that would make it to Supreme Court is the authority to extend the deadline of the mail in balloting. I do have to say that obvious or focusing on these cases it didnt come through. The cases that come through. But they matter but does a certain narrative any student thing thats happening at the notion of the hail mary being thrown here. It really is important for people to feel secure in for these answers to be concluded. For these answers to be provided before 2022 and 2024 per because heaven forbid its different bodies are making rules. There are still questions of the constitutionality of that. That is a real lose. Kennedy they have to be consistent, have to be constitutionally got to lock it up. Emily compagno thanks so much as always good to see it. Thank you.
