while he was saying that ron desantis said you know what? we have heard from the cdc and people over 65 will at risk so if you are over 65 we are going to vaccinate you first along with the healthcare workers. so the florida governor are a better plan because ultimately, ainsley, governor cuomo here in new york city eventually said okay, we will include people 75 why 75? okay, okay, okay. we will do 65. now if you are 65 or up, you could qualify for the vaccine if you can find it but there aren't any doses left here in new york. ainsley: or you have to go to a hospital to get it whereas down in florida they're teeming up with publix so you can go to a grocery store. steve: i know a lot of people who got the shot at a grossry store. ainsley: make it more readily available and easier for folks over 65 to get it. many of my friends in new york have to sign their parents up because they're elderly and they don't have computers or don't know how to sign up online. here in new york you have to sign up online get an appointment and i have heard tha

desantis, calling him, quote an ass because ron desantis said we'll not do cdc rules. only vaccinate age 75 and older. we'll lower it to 65 and over. of course that will create lines. of course people will come into florida because florida is saying we'll give as much vaccinations as we can but not giving context. instead to personally attack him through ad homonym attacks. that is always refuge of the weak when you start talking like that. this shows you don't have a case, you didn't do the legwork, didn't get information for the viewer. what do you say, ford? >> right. they wanted to put this on trump. any supporter of trump like governor desantis must be doing something wrong because they're evil. what governor desantis did was govern. he looked after his constituents. we're in terrible times. we we're in this together but we have to keep a way to keep the economy moving keeping those vulnerable safe. the media wanted to buy into the narrative. the reason why governor cuomo is admitting lockdowns don't work besides the fact they don't work, essentially the election

but ron desantis is a republican presiding over one of a few free states left in the country, so cnn and twitter instantly told us that was irresponsible and dangerous. censor him immediately. anything to prevent you from realizing how little they know and how badly new york is doing compared to the rest of the country. but now we do know. that's why millions of new yorkers, having realized their state is a disaster, are moving. they are moving out of new york in unprecedented numbers. francis suarez is the mayor of miami, still a great city. he says he would like to lure large tech companies to florida and has been. he joins us tonight to explain. thank you so much for coming on. congratulations on your city, which remains sane and open, safe and decent. it's a great city. i have to wonder about your plan told lure the worst people in america to the state of florida. i'm serious. they wrecked california. why would you want them in florida? >> let me tell you. we left cuba because the cuban government basically nationalized property then took away our ability to be productive. what's

>> ron desantis pushing back after a porter blames them for coronavirus vaccine distribution. >> independent women's form senior policy analyst, thanks for being here. there is blame to go around and a lot of states because a lot of people argue vaccines are not being distributed quickly enough in states across the country. in florida in particular what is your reaction to that exchange? >> without donald trump the media needs a new bogeyman to go after and you can tell who they are threatened by by who they attack. in this case it was a cnn reporter speaking very disrespectfully to florida governor, who has handled this crisis very well. i spent a lot of time in florida during the pandemic and things are relatively normal, as normal as they can be in a pandemic, schools are open, even disney world is allowed to be open, small businesses are not shutting down left and right, the vaccine distribution process started perfectly and seamlessly? know. desantis admitted so much and is working hard to ensure his constituents are able to get this vaccine but compared to a lot of blue states like new

and, of course, if you are florida's governor, ron desantis, according to him, you've done everything perfect, everything right. and the only problem is coming from the federal government, at least now that it's in the hands of the democrats. that doesn't explain why the rollout there included hundreds of senior citizens sleeping outside overnight in lines hoping for a vaccine. thousands of floridians finding their vaccine appointments canceled and one nursing home choosing to give doses meant to its residents to wealthy donors inside. while florida has administered 1 1/2 million vaccinations, when you break down the numbers of who has been vaccinated, it shows the truth of the racial inequity that desantis has allowed in the state. that is next. (burke) at farmers, we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two. like how nice it is to switch and save on your auto policy. but it's even nicer knowing that if this happens... ...or this happens... ...or this... ...or even this... ...we've seen and covered it. so, call 1-800-farmers to switch your auto policy and you could save

you heard florida governor ron desantis where they are getting those shots into people's i'm saying we don't want to centralize handling of this but amazon stands by ready to help on all kinds of things. >> that is extraordinary. we face an enormous challenge in distributing the vaccine before noon today and amazon did not make that order. on the 100 million vaccinations in 100 days, the president's new goal you've got some outgoing trump officials saying a week ago the country registered its first 1 million vaccination day which is the pace you need to hit that 100 million mark, there is no doubt that a number of states like new york had terrible beginning this of their vaccination programs, no doubt about it but it seems to be getting together, rolling faster and joe biden should be able to do this 100 million mark because we might have gotten there anyway. it is important to make that goal. shannon: we wish every state and territory the best success in getting those vaccines to people who are most vulnerable and want them. thank you for joining us. breaking tonight reports of antifa

has or will the president be reaching out to ron desantis? what is his reaction to comments like these? ms. psaki: the president is a pretty even keeled guy so i would say he doesn't have much of a reaction other than he wants to ensure that the vaccine is distributed to people across the country, including of course the millions of people living in florida. we are data first, facts first here, so i will note they have only distributed about 50% of the vaccines they have been given in florida. so clearly, they have a good deal of the vaccine and that supply will need to increase as they are able to effectively reach people across the state, but part of the challenge, as we were talking about, is not just having the supply. that is pivotal but also having vaccinators and having vaccine distribution places and doing it in a way that is reaching people where they are, and meeting local communities. the president will be focused on that in a bipartisan manner regardless of what any elected official may have to say. go ahead all the way in the bac

ron desantis gets attacked. what is going on in the media here, you guys, final word? >> what we know goes on in the media right? everybody is raising the flag for their side and unfortunately their side is primarily democratic liberal, right? so that is what's happening. they're rooting for their side. whatever their side does that's positive they're saying yea team and the other side everything is bad. >> hopefully this will all change very soon. >> yes, hopefully. elizabeth: hopefully. elizabeth: dolly, jenny, you guys are great. >> come visit so we can go out to dinner. >> yes. florida is open. >> florida is open. dipper. elizabeth: we won't be eating in hailstorms and rainstorms and snowstorms as you did, jenny. >> not ideal. not ideal. elizabeth: good to see you, thank you, you guys. texas republican congressman brian babin will join us next on the president visiting the border wall in texas. he broke his silence today. he was banned by twitter. what he is saying is outraging people in the democratic party, the country and media. we'll dig into it with congressma

>> yes but okay now. >> fortunately a survivor. >> yes. >> reporter: if governor ron desantis sees that it's working here, it will likely expand. they have more than 700 publix pharmacies in the state, so this may be a solution to what we have seen, using fields of -- playing fields, having people line up. in other words, trying to give some order to what just about everybody admits has been chaotic. shep. >> kerry, thank you so much. >>> new vaccine mega sites opening in new york city this weekend. mayor bill de blasio says they'll run 24/7 in brooklyn and the bronx and can vaccinate thousands a day. five more sites set to open on monday the mayor also pushing to get the second phase of the vaccine rollout going in the big city. he says it has more than 270,000 unused doses that should be going to the most vulnerable group, people over 75. cnbc's contessa brewer now how has this first stage of the rollout been going >> shep, governor cuomo says some 480,000 vaccines have been given out to frontline health care workers in new york state so far and he announced new plans to get even more

is there a way that the administration can get around people like ron desantis? >> look, this is not about bureaucracy. this is about having a plan and really understanding at the ground level how to get things done. who are the heads of the health departments? who are the local contacts for pharmacies or who's working at the local hospital that we need coordinate with. it's basic stuff, but if you don't know these things and you don't have constant communication with those parties and you don't have on paper what you're going to do in terms of when the doses will be distributed and where? that makes it very difficult to coordinate. that's not about bureaucracy. that's just about good government. >> but the problem is that the administration, the biden administration will send a vaccine to the state of florida and i'm just using them as an example. it will go to the health department inside of that state which is run by -- overseen by ron desantis. he wants complete local control. he doesn't want to have any sort of structures that say who gets it and when and he

desantis says the national guard right now is tasked with strike teams to deal with the testing and the swabbing of people, not the distribution of the vaccine. and at this point he's not responded to a call to get them on the front lines, giving people injections. frances. >> kerry, thank you. >>> some parts of texas are waking up to a snowy new year's day as a winter storm warning is in effect in the region. the area got more than an inch of snow and the city after san angelo got a hit of sleet and rain they could get up to 2 inches. forecasters say up to 18 inches could accumulate in some parts we're talking texas, janessa, where they're not used to driving and dealing with all of that, especially as the new year kicks off. happy new year, janessa. >> happy new year, frances yeah, this is a rare event we're seeing across texas. 60 degrees yesterday in houston, but 34 in dallas so we have a divide in texas but this storm system is starting to pull out, and it's really the midwest we need to keep our eye on this afternoon we have an ice storm that is going to form across the ohio v

social media attacking ron desantis and jay inslee's administration caught using a hiring practice he himself has deemed as racist. the lightning round is next. >> shannon: with states coming under extreme scrutiny for slow vaccine rollout, the governor defended his state's performance pushing back against reporter's line of questioning. >> what has gone wrong with the rollout of the vaccine, jam, websites crashing? >> excuse me. you just said what has gone wrong so i'm answering the question? if i can complete the question. >> are you going to giv give a speech or answer the question? >> shannon: okay, a lightning round with kpt age radio talk show host, good to see you, jason. >> good to see you. hello. >> and anchor went to call -- i will spell it in case my grandmother is watching. the media doesn't like him, why? >> no they don't it is out of arrogance. he has not listened to what some of the outlets have pushed, particularly cnn. look, they were all in on the lockdowns that closed down for schools, the restaurants in the bars and the jams. that was embraced by the governors that

steve: at least ron desantis is taking the questions. and trying to answer what he believed was the question so he started right there. but, you know, to your earlier point about where the hard questions here in new york, you know, new york has had a terrible rollout. the state. the governor is blaming the mayor. the mayor is blaming the governor. the state of new york will not release the number of vaccines as they have actually put in people's arms. the "new york post" has been asking for the last couple of days they finally found from the cdc apparently just shy of 300,000 doses have been given to new yorkers. which is 1500 toes for every 100,000 new yorkers. that is not very efficient. >> no, it's not. and the governor is never going to be asked about that because the governor happens to have a brother that has a prime time anchor spot on cnn. so, therefore, he gets a pass. and that's the conflict of interest that we are talking about. anyway, steve, got to go taking down the christmas lights today. i held out for as long as i can. y

desantis saying anyone 65 or older could get a vaccine on first-come, first-serve basis, across the country logistical problems have meant only fraction of available doses have actually been administered. >> it requires strategic planning, preparation and then you have to have funding and without funding and really good strong communication, then we end up seeing a delay. we've got about 3 million americans who have been vaccinated but we need to pick up the pace because that will help save lives. >> just under 3 million americans have gotten their shot. 21 million americans left to go in first vaccination phase, eric. eric: you have to get it out there, claudia, thank you. molly. molly: more on this now tom friedman. thank you so much for sparing us a couple of minutes as new year's goes on the way on saturday, appreciate it. thought to be more contagious. your thoughts on this, is it likely that's spread across the country if we are seeing it in 3 states with people with no travel? >> how widely it spreads, time will tell. something important to keep in mind about the strain. it's

desantis. governor cuomo is a terrible governor, worst in the nation, and he's an even worse person. he's a terrible human being, look at the priorities. bills game, emmy, leveraging a pandemic for personal gain to write a book during a time of crisis and all the while, he killed off elderly by forcing nursing homes to take in this sake. he deprives people of the ability to go to funerals of their loved ones, depriving people know of the ability to earn a living to go attend church services. he's a terrible, terrible human being and it really makes me mad is the media and those on the left, just come out prop him up as some sort of hero when he is anything but. >> jessica: obviously, we can talk off-line whether he's a terrible human being but i want to make sure sean gets in on this. >> sean: i thought lisa went out florida because of the taxes on the weather. >> lisa: those are added bonuses. >> sean: listen, i believe in the science and you can play football, it's outside, go in and play foo

we talk to governor ron desantis about what his status doing right. friday, it is geraldo rivera and larry elder joining us live as well. is called hard work for a reason. college in the ozarks, a fight for freedom and the future of education in america, we will talk about what they do differently. a texas team joins the u.s. navy following in the footsteps of her mother who administered the oath. do not miss a minute. >> a judge ruling in new york lawsuit to dissolve the nra to move forward. with a pro-gun control president in office what could this mean for the second amendment? todd: thanks for being here. the procedure illegal jurisdictional aspect is too complicated for the time we have. from a practical perspective can the nra get a fair trial if this case is kept in the new york state district? >> reporter: no. we saw a g james's predecessor, he did use this to host the bully pulpit, just imagine if this were the state of texas coming up for planned parenthood for individual actors acting in a less than ethical manner. there would be a lot of u

todd: meantime, congressman, covid hasn't gone away your governor, ron desantis partnering with pub publix that's a supermarket for those of you who don't know to administer coast vaccinations. questions that will here everyone is wondering why can't state like new york or california learn from florida's be vaccination rollout. >> look, we have done a really good job during this entire process. i want to are commend the governor for the way that he they have done. testing sites available all over the state. we will move them around if we have a need. i was involved in moving around and keeping testing sites. publix is a recall company. publix just about every community. mostly have pharmacies so what a great idea to not just be able to have them at hospitals but to flood these vaccines out to different pharmacies that are very well embedded in our community. it's a great idea. it's a great way for floridians who,like in my district, are a very rural district in the middle part of the state don't have a lot of hospitals that they could go to or two or three hours away a publix a pharmacy yo

ron desantis, whatever could drupal of aaaa's, that would be the media coverage that you would be seeing tonight as far of investigation of the attorney general investigating governor cuomo was won an emmy, by the way. he deserves a grammy for the notes he was singing at that press conference today. as you mention, this quote blew me away. he blamed adderall guidance on his health department undercounting of nursing home does. if you think there is a mistake, go to the federal government. he says in the same breath, it's not about pointing fingers or blame. everybody watching this tv is dumber for having heard that because this is somebody clearly -- the hubris is not taking responsibility for this. all the people now that are surprised by what they are hearing as far as what went on in terms of this order to the covid positive nursing patients like taking a blowtorch to guide dominic dried grass. this is the first time they are hearing it, of course it is spirited for ten months you have reporters, anchors, hosts, not even approaching this topic during interviews. forget tee ball or sof

and so what you ended up seeing were stories hashing on governors like kristi noem or ron desantis in florida not following the lockdown orders and hero worship of andrew cuomo. now we get reports and numbers that show the story has been opposite. >> harris: wow. governor cuomo said this, kim, last tuesday. >> look, incompetent government can kill people. this is not a joke and more people died here than needed to. >> harris: you think that will make it into the investigations as evidence of something? if it doesn't work out he has already said. >> look, i think he was right. incompetent government does kill people. now we have it in this a.g. report on his own handling. one thing that's really important here, harris, it is not just that stunning number that is tragic and horrible but ongoing questions about what looks to be a cover-up and the other handling of governor cuomo over this past year. this is a state that has the second highest death rate from the beginning. there are millions of kids who are still learning remotely which is to say not learning at all. the excessive econom

desantis. governor cuomo is a terrible governor, probably the worst in the nation and even worse person. is a terrible human being, look at his prior bills games, leveraging a pandemic for personal gain and fame to writable during a time of crisis and all the while, killed off elderly by forcing nursing homes to take in the sick, deprived people of the. go to funerals of their loved ones, depriving people now the ability to earn a living, to attend church services, a terrible human being and makes me mad that the media and those on the left continues to prop him up as some sort of hero when he is anything but. >> we can talk off line about whether he's a terrible human being. >> got some things to say. >> i thought lisa went too far because of the weather, not because of covid-19. i do believe in the science and you can play football in southside, go in and play football, let people come and watch and impose the same standards on restaurants, let people wear masks, open them up but what is goin

so they did permanent damage to the economy whereas in florida ron desantis, for the most part, kept the state open. he has about 1.57 million covid cases compared to 3 million in california which has been completely restricted the entire time. of so you tell me if the science works when you're demanding people not leave home but, rather, order out at home and do grocery shopping. that tells me you've bankrupted the people in poverty. neil: danielle, we're going to have joe biden coming in, and he has hinted that states have botched their response here. a surprise to people when he said that, but he didn't fault the governors per se, that they each had different ideas for getting, for example, vaccines out to the public. it sounds like he wants to federalize that somewhat or get a simple standard, let's say folks 65 and older immediately get a vaccine. something to simplify rather than 50 different policies. i think i've got the gist of that that right, but what do you think of that? >> i think it makes sense that we have kind of a top-down approach, although i think there needs to b

while in florida, governor ron desantis has activate guard troops at least through the 24th, after inauguration. and the capitol closed through sunday, again, out of abundance of caution. so, people are concern that things could get kind of dicey here, but they're not letting and leaving anything to chance, and certainly the case at the nation's capitol, which will see one of the more unusual inaugurations in american history. mark meredith has more from the white house. hey, mark. >> neil, good morning. if you're looking for a good workout, i remember trying to come here at the white house because you'll be walk for miles trying to get to work. there are security barriers all over the city here. we're seeing more security than even more d.c. residents are used to seeing. washingtonians are used to heidened security, this is another level. there are nation guard throughout the city including 5,000 active duty troops all in the wake of the riots on capitol hill. the national park service enacting a temporary closing of the national mall. look at the road maps around washington d.c., surrounding
