"Of the culture war. It's time stars. Welcome back to the time story. Radio programs have been orange in four Todd, our phone number 8 four four 747 88 68 before the break, we talked about that interview for the daily wire podcast Candace Owens and president Trump and did not feel like they were seeing eye to eye very much when it came to vaccines. Frank is in Madison, Alabama listening this afternoon, Frank Merry Christmas. Thank you for joining us on the Todd starnes show. Hey, Merry Christmas to you and God bless America. Yes. I didn't really see the contention exactly Candace and the president. But one thing is that I wanted to say about this whole situation is I think the reason that there hasn't been about the vaccines and what's going on is that we're not hearing both sides of the issue. We're seeing a propaganda campaign by the government pushing the vaccines, but there is a lot of very educated medical and scientists on the other side of the issue that's not being heard. And so like for me in the middle, I realize that they are not telling me the truth. The whole thing. And I think they would be more successful with the vaccines. Otherwise, if they would just go ahead and let both sides be heard. Frank, I agree with you because it feels very un American because one of the great things about the American medical system is I have the freedom to take in as much information as much informed consent and then make the decision based upon what's best for me and now there is an end around with these vaccine mandates and really in the short term a lot of people are hesitant because as you said there's just not a whole lot of information out there just yet, but this is America and if you want to take the vaccine, I believe it is fully you're right. If you are hesitant, I respect your decision as well. Yeah, and there is a lot of negative where something that I hear on the other side that we don't get to hear in the major media about the vaccines that are by we're talking about doctors who graduate from Harvard and Yale. We're talking about some people who know what they're talking about as well. So I really think that if they would just open up and let the American people make a decision, it would be a lot lot better. I think that is a great common sense point of view and we always welcome that here on the Todd star show. Frank Merry Christmas, thank you for listening and Madison, Alabama Dan and Hendersonville, North Carolina wants to talk about Candace Owens and Donald Trump good afternoon Merry Christmas, Dan. Merry Christmas to you. I just wonder who these people like canvas on and all these reporters who are in a world they think they are. Most of them have no idea what they're talking about. Mister Trump was stating his opinion and he is able to do it. The people in the audience booing were probably planned there. In my opinion, it's just as far that's as far as these people will go. So as far as Biden is wife is not a doctor, she's an educator. And why people even listen to her as far as medical advice is just out of my realm of understanding. Dan, I have a feeling that if it were Candace versus Trump that you would be picking Trump Dan, Merry Christmas to you and yours, and thank you for listening and Hendersonville, North Carolina. We go back to the patriot mobile newsmaker line here and we're talking with the folks at norad, not just any folks, it's our friend captain, sable Brown. Captain, thank you for joining me on the Todd starnes show. Merry Christmas. How are you? Doing great and Merry Christmas to you too. I'm a sad Todd's not here. I was wondering if he was still on the navy list. Todd is no longer on the naughty list. He's not only is he on the good list, but he is on the mend he is getting his voice back and he'll be back before you know it. I am looking at the norad Santa dot org website and the countdown is on. I know the folks at norad are working feverishly to prepare to track Santa, what kind of technology are you guys working on and right now what's the environment there? You guys just working like crazy and these final hours? Oh, you betcha. It is very, very festive over here. The call center is decorated and we are calibrating all of our satellites and radars to track Santa's sleigh and his team of reindeer and get ready to see where his journey takes him around the world this year. And I know that norad the North American aerospace defense command doesn't work alone at this because I know coming up tomorrow night, you'll be working in tandem with the FAA to make sure all of the flight paths are clear to make sure no overnight flights get in the way of all saint Nick doing his job, can you speak to how big of an operation this is? Norad track Santa is one of the largest department of the defense outreach programs in the world and we have a worldwide audience. And we can reach everyone around the world and tell them we're Santa is because of our partners that make everything happen from the website to the app to the call center. And especially those volunteers that come in, they're calling us as early as October, November, asking if they can take calls once again and tell children around the world. Where is Santa Claus? And captain, I'm a big tech nerd, so I'll be watching this as long as I possibly can tomorrow. How long what time Eastern Time do you estimate that the Santa tracker will be up and running basically when does Santa take lift off from the North Pole? Well, based on our intelligence, Santa takes off at about 6 a.m. eastern every year. So be ready. All right, we will have our cup of coffee. I will definitely be up watching that and the website is norad Santa dot org that is norad Santa dot org will have that on our live show blog as well. And Santa Claus, I guess he's getting all fueled up and he's ready to go and the technology at norad is gonna help all of us be able to track Santa and really you really need that evidence to show the kids. Okay, okay kids, it is honestly time to get in bed, get some sleep and thank you for helping parents like me and parents across the country and across the world do that captain sabel Brown. Thank you so much. Please give our best to norad, not just for what you do at Christmas time, but how you protect us 365 days a year. God bless and Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, and thank you so much. All right, there's captain sable Brown from norad. We've got that link on the live show blog. 6 o'clock eastern tomorrow, folks, Santa takes liftoff from the North Pole. Hopefully he's got maybe a hybrid with it as much as gas prices are this year. I don't know how that dollar is going to be stretching from the North Pole, but be rest assured he is ready. He is loaded and ready to go and norad is going to be tracking him all the.

"And lily drugs, but they're building it back up. Guys, Meg, we were talking a little bit earlier about this idea of whether you could get the defense production act in place, and that could actually create a lot more volume of the Pfizer drug. As you just said, 10 million doses by the summer, 10 million doses by the summer, maybe too late. When we talk to Scott golly about this, he seems to suggest there was still a 6 month lag in terms of even if you started right now. It would take 6 months to really be able to ramp properly. The question is, is if you start now, it may be that by the time of the summer, you could get to a 100 million if you really went to it. Is there a resistance by Pfizer to do that? Well, certainly companies never like when the defense production act is used to force them to do something. Sometimes it could be beneficial to them because it puts them in the front of the line for materials and supplies. We saw that with the vaccines it was helpful to the companies if they were on that end, but it also has knocked down effects. Other drugs get pushed to the side. So it's something that people in the industry hope is used very precisely. In terms of the supply, though, Pfizer did increase its full year forecast for supply for the world to a 120 million courses yesterday up from 80 million. The U.S. is only order 10 million at this point. Could we see them increase that and when could more get delivered is a big question, but Doctor Fauci did talk yesterday about how complicated this drug is to manufacture and that it does have that time of 6 to 8 months for the active ingredient. And then finally there's an incentive question, which you just raised, which is those that are unvaccinated are almost I don't want to say have a greater incentive, but in some ways they will probably have access to this drug before those who are vaccinated. It's sort of the anti incentive to get vaccinated. I don't know if you read yesterday Chapman online, had made this statement that got a lot of people very upset, which was that he said, basically, that unvaccinated people should not be taken care of. I don't think anybody agrees with that, but how do you change that incentive structure in this case? Yeah, it's a real problem. It's an ethical question, but something we saw with the antibody drugs when they were in short supply too. If you got a prioritize the highest risk folks, that's folks who don't have the vaccine, so we'll have to see how that plays out in these treatment guidelines. Complicated stuff. Meg, thank you. Appreciate it. We have something of a holiday tradition on squawk box, checking in annually with the top secret military mission at norad, the North American aerospace defense command. Which fields thousands of tips and questions from the public about a certain flying object every December 24th. Santa was spotted over Petersen Air Force Base, Colorado Springs, Colorado. Let's get back to Becky. The recent boom in space tourism has the skies more crowded than ever, but that isn't deterring our next guest and her team from their mission of tracking Santa's voyage around the world on Christmas Eve. Let's welcome this morning, U.S. Air Force captain, sable Brown, who is a public affairs officer at the North American aerospace defense command, which is otherwise known as norad. She's also a member of the norad track Santa team. This, by the way, is the 66th year that norad is going to be tracking Santa's global journey and captain, thank you for being with us today. I would imagine that this job has gotten a lot more difficult over those 66 years because there's so much more stuff in the air, including all of the stuff that's in space right now. How are you guys doing this? How are you handling it? Well, thank you for having me, Becky, and yes, the job of watching the United States and Canada's skies is a little bit tougher, but we're able to keep up with it by working with our partners and allies around the world and in regards to tracking Santa. It takes a lot of contributors and a lot of volunteers to get that job done and they are happy to do it every year. So how do you guys do this? Let's track through all the technology that you have to actually watch Santa as he goes around the globe because this is something little kids have been so curious about for forever. Right. And when we get children that call in the op center, we give them all the answers about how norad tracks Santa every year. And it starts when he makes his first movements out of the North Pole. The radar in the northern Canadian and northern Alaskan Arctic area track him with those north warning satellites. And then as he moves west across the international date line, are satellites can watch the infrared signature from Rudolph's red nose as he flies around the world. And when he makes it back to Canada and the United States are fighter escort pilots, make sure to give him a wave and safely escorted him through North American airspace and then he heads back home to the North Pole to get ready for next year. I know we can all follow along by watching on the Internet on the website. How many people actually call into the limestone? Back in 2019, we had over a 150,000 calls. The phone never stops ringing. What do kids say when they call in? And how did this whole thing start by the way? Well, it started back in 1955 when there was a misprinted ad for a department store saying that children can call Santa at a certain phone number. But the misprint actually led to the conad back then it was continental air defense command. The call center there, a red phone that colonel Harry shop famously picked up and he went along with the call and so did the rest of his crew all night and that's how the tradition of norad tracks Santa got started. Well, it's a great tradition and we appreciate you all keeping it up this year. We'll be watching and we know you all will too as Santa takes off on Christmas Eve. Captain Brown, thank you so much for joining us. And good luck to you and your staff with handling all these calls this year. Thank you. And happy holidays and hope to see you tracking Santa with us. Merry Christmas, we will be. I haven't seen Christmas vacation, the movie this year. That's an annual app might be my favorite. I think, just because of cousin Eddie because of Randy Quaid, but you remember where they're at the table and Clark griswold says you know sand has been spotted coming across the border there. And he looks at him and just goes, are you serious, Clark? Exactly. But there's about a hundred lines from that movie that I use, I think of some of the other ones I've been using. Oh, yeah.

"Part of how we fight this pandemic. In terms of the nearly quarter $1 billion that's going out the door to the ports, how quickly is that money going to be spent, and when we think about the inflationary aspects of some of the supply chain issues we're seeing, what kind of impact do you think that can have in what kind of time frame? So it really varies based on what's going on in an individual port. But what I'll tell you is often ports can move very quickly. For example, last week I was in Savannah, George R fourth, busiest container port, and by many measures are most significant for things like agricultural exports. They got creative and created what are best described as pop up inland container yards. So the idea here is, you know, there's just no more space at the port itself with these containers piling up. So you get them out to a different site. Sometimes more than a hundred miles inland and you sort them out there. You move them on to rail and truck chassis there. It's one of those ideas. It sounds very simple, like a child would think of, but actually incredibly dynamic and complex to pull off. They were able to do it in a matter of months after conversations with the supply chain task force and the work that we were trying to drive out of the administration to do that kind of problem solving. And they were able to use repurposed federal dollars to do it. So we're about quick solutions where we can find them. But let's be clear, the point of this bill is to get America ready for the decade and decades ahead and create jobs across the decade and decades ahead. And we're not going to rush things at the expense of doing them right. We're going to look at short term and long term side by side every day. And then finally, mister secretary, the build back better plan, which seems to have obviously been put on pause, at least for now, without Joe Manchin's support, if you were to look into a crystal ball for early 22, what parts of it do you think actually have a chance of getting across the finish line? Do you think it does? Yeah, I've been rooting around the office of the secretary ever since I moved into it looking for that crystal ball. And maybe it's in a closet somewhere, but I still can't find it. What I know is this. The elements of that package are both needed and popular. And I think that's especially true. When it comes to having a stronger economy, you saw how the rating agencies and a lot of the banks reduced their expectations for our economic growth, when there was news of this setback in terms of the progress of the bill. Because the economy is telling us, the economy itself in its way is telling us that this bill is good for the economy. You add to that the fact that with families seeing pressure on prices, this could lower the cost of insulin, the lower the cost of prescription drugs lower the cost of housing and child care. One thing I'm excited about, of course, is a chance to lower the cost of electric vehicles. I mean, you look at the pickup truck, the president was driving when he visited the plant. Mister secretary, we got to run in a second, but were you surprised the stock market? Since that announcement has not fallen dramatically. To the extent that the market is speaking and I know that the market is distinct from the real economy. Let's stipulate that. But oftentimes, these things do have an impact on the market, and the market in a almost maybe perverse way to the way you might think about it has responded. I want to stop short talking about crystal balls of imputing things to the market. But I guess if I were going to do that, I would say it's a sign that the economy and the market share my optimism. They were actually going to get this done in the new year and that that'll be good for the economy and for families. Mister secretary, want to wish you a happy holidays and we look forward to seeing you in the new year crystal ball or not. Thanks. Still to come on Spock pod encouraging news about a COVID treatment pill from our Meg Terrell. The results showed it could reduce the risk of hospitalization or death by 89%. But supply is going to be limited at least initially. And then. Some Christmas cheer from the North Pole by way of norad, U.S. Air Force captain sable Brown joins us. When we get children that call in the op center, we give them all the answers about how norad tracks Santa every year. Get in early. Join the CNBC investing club of Jim Cramer, be among the first. Get tips straight from Kramer, the only club with exclusive trading leads for early access symmetry email at CNBC dot com slash investing club. This is squawk pod from CNBC. Here's Joe kernan. New studies suggest a lower hospitalization risk than other variants. Meanwhile, the FDA has cleared Pfizer's COVID treatment pill, Meg Terrell joins us now with more on the COVID. Hey, Joe. So of course, it's good news. Those studies from both South Africa and Scotland showed a much lower hospitalization rate with omicron compared with other variants, but Doctor Fauci warned yesterday that the sheer number of people who are getting this variant could sort of obviate that effect. I would point out that even if you have a diminution in severity, if you have a much larger number of individual cases, the fact that you have so many more cases might actually obviate the effect of it being less severe. And we got some good news yesterday in the Pfizer pill that was cleared by the FDA. It was cleared for high risk adults and kids 12 and older who weigh at least 88 pounds who have a high risk factor for severe COVID. This is a drug that has to be taken within 5 days of symptoms and patients will take three pills twice a day for 5 days, the results showed it could reduce the risk of hospitalization or death by 89%. But supply is going to be limited at least initially. The White House saying yesterday 265,000 treatment courses expected to the U.S. by the end of January, the full shipment of the order of 10 million courses expected by late summer, but because of this, we talked with a pharmacist yesterday, doctor Michael gano from the American society of health system pharmacists who pointed out prescribers are going to have to make tough decisions because this drug is going to be essentially in shortage about which patients are highest risk and should get it. Here's what he told us. What's really going to be again up to that prescriber discretion to look at the patient, their age, their body mass index, their comorbidities, and say, this person is highest priority versus this person who's not. And that may take the vaccination status into account. So, of course, that's a major question. Especially with oma cron being able to evade some of the protections of the vaccines, but we also know they do provide great protection against severe disease. Meanwhile, that is not the only drug in what The White House is calling its medicine cabinet. We are potentially expecting EUA for Merckx pill. And if that's cleared, that's going to be a lot more supply. 3 million courses in January. That one doesn't work quite as well, so Pfizer's would likely be preferred, but the supply is going to be an issue. Also, the AstraZeneca preventive antibody new data this morning confirming it holds up against uma cron. There will be 500,000 courses of that in January and the only treatment antibody drug from bearing GlaxoSmithKline, which holds up against this variant, 300,000 courses. So guys, some of that medicine cabinet got wiped out in the Regeneron.

"How we're faring heading into 2022 with transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg. If you look at the big picture, it's extraordinary what has been done in order to make sure if you run out for some last minute shopping. You're gonna see the shelves are stocked. And the FDA authorizes the first COVID pill. CNBC's Meg Terrell has the latest. Prescribers are going to have to make tough decisions because this drug is going to be essentially in shortage. But no supply chain issues at the North Pole. U.S. Air Force captain sable Brown, she's got her eye on Santa. Our satellites can watch the infrared signature from Rudolph's red nose as he flies around the world. So, pop open the bubbly if you can find it. Don't let the supply chain kill your festive buzz, food and wine's ray isle has some tips, champagne shortage or not. If you can find a bottle of bollinger RD, which is up with the DOM perignon and cristal zone, that's like the splurge vote for me this holiday. Talk about a splurge, but maybe it's worth it. It's also James Bond's favorite champagne. It's Thursday, December 23rd, 2021. I think it is the eve of Christmas Eve. It's the eve of Christmas Eve, right. Squawk pod begins right now. Good morning and welcome to the S.W.A.T. box right here on CNBC, I'm Andrew Ross Sorkin, along with Becky quick and Joe kernan. It's like the eve to Christmas Eve is where we really are at this point. Couple of headlines to bring you right now. Let's say what's happening, the Supreme Court is going to be taking up President Biden's vaccine mandate for large, private employers, special hearings been set for January 7th to determine the mandate can be enforced, the mandate requires businesses to ensure that workers are either vaccinated or tested weekly. And two drug makers out with some hopeful vaccine related news. AstraZeneca saying that a booster shot using its COVID vaccine is effective against the omicron variant and novavax saying its vaccine demonstrated strong immune responses against omo cron as well. And Spider-Man, no way home, poised to do something no movie has done since before the pandemic hit a $1 billion in global ticket sales. That's expected to happen this weekend. Now, 8 movies hit that mark in 2019, but none did that in 2020 with movie theaters as we all know close for so much of the year, Joe. There is definitely Andrew and appeal to being able to do that between buildings and stuff from the top of a roof. Don't you think that just being able to fly though unto itself? There's something having to actually use the cooler about just shooting it. And I was also going to say you said it's kind of like the eve of Christmas. I think it is the eve of Christmas Eve. Yes. The eve of Christmas Eve. Have you guys noticed that normally Christmas is during a week or many times, not 5 out of 7 times? And we get Christmas off, but not New Year's Eve are not Christmas Eve off. So this is like a we get Christmas. Yeah. The overcrowded variant putting pressure on an already stress supply chain earlier this week, President Biden met with CEOs including FedEx Fred Smith to talk about progress that's been made to try to avert a holiday crisis joining us right now with details of the meeting to share where things stand right now transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg. Mister secretary, it's great to see you happy holidays. We're hoping it's going to be a happy holidays and things seem to be moving a pace, though clearly the supply chain issues remain and I'm curious what the readout of this meeting meant to you and what the lesson was. Well, it's a really good conversation with the president yesterday with leaders from the private sector and really two themes. One is the extraordinary achievements to date. And the second is the work we still have to do. Let me dwell on the first for a minute because, you know, if you were looking to the headlines a couple of months ago, you know, they were saying every shelf would be empty, Christmas was ruined, basically canceled, and you look at what's actually happened, shelves are stocked. You look at Walmart target, they're talking about having more inventory now than they did a year ago. Ports on the West Coast, for example, the ones we've been so concerned about moving a record number of goods about 15% more than their all time high. National retail federation predicting the best year ever for holiday sales. So a lot has gone right. Thanks to the leadership of the administration thanks to the leadership in the private sector that got creative about how to get things done. And of course, maybe most importantly of all, thanks to a lot of essential workers who never had the option of coming into work by Zoom, getting it done, whether it's at the ports or the truck drivers on the road or in the warehouses making it possible. That's not to say we haven't had issues in terms of pressure on prices in terms of shipping, timing, but if you look at the big picture, it's extraordinary what has been done in order to make sure that we've had the holiday season we have right now. If you run out for some last minute shopping, you're going to see the shelves are stocked. Now, having said that, this was not a mission accomplished moment because we've got a lot of work to do. As a matter of fact, today, my department is announcing port infrastructure development plan program grants, about $240 million going to everywhere from Long Beach, one of the biggest ports in the country, about $50 million headed there to support capacity expansion to places you don't think about a lot. Like the Ohio River tell city, Indiana, where a crane can be installed that's going to help move traffic off of barges for about one and a half $1 million. And everything in between. That normally we wouldn't announce something this close to Christmas, but the president had a very specific port action plan saying, you know, by this point in time, we need to get more of those dollars out the door. So we did that and we're already getting next year's grants ready to announce probably in February the next round opening applications. Just and I'm just talking about one program the port program. One of many programs we're going to have more dollars in thanks to the president's bipartisan infrastructure law. So lots more work to do. But a lot to be proud of as we take stock of how we got here. Let's talk about the work that needs to be done, mister secretary, because one of the things that we are going to be confronting over the next several months, it appears is omicron and what that's going to do to potentially labor shortages. I wanted to ask you specifically about what Ed Bastian who's the CEO of Delta has recently said, which is that he has suggested that there be a new thinking around quarantine rules and the length of quarantine rules in part because he's worried about a labor supply shortage. I believe he's thinking about that in the transportation sector in terms of airplanes. I imagine it will also impact all sorts of businesses, including at the ports and the like. Would you advocate for a rethink of quarantine rules? Well, we're always going to take our cue from the CDC and start with what the public health leadership thinks is best for keeping the American people safe. But certainly we need to continually reevaluate what we do. In every part of our response to the pandemic, because the facts on the ground are changing in terms of there being vaccines that we mostly didn't have a year ago therapies emerging and also our knowledge of things changing. So between what's going on with the variance, what's going on with treatments testing and vaccinations. And what's going on in terms of our understanding of what mitigations are most effective, we should continually be revisiting what we do. And that's exactly what happens. In this administration, I sit on the COVID task force where we're always looking at where we are compared to where we were. And how to make sure the American people are safe. Now, some things are clear and they're not changing. And maybe the biggest among them is that we need to get as many people vaccinated as possible. And that includes getting those boosters so that people have maximum protection, no matter what curve ball is coming next. I know you may defer to the CDC, but would you be advocating to change the definition of fully vaccinated? So again, I'm not going to get ahead of the CDC on that. But you know, we know that boosters create a dramatically higher level of protection. I'm very glad to have gotten mine, encouraging all of my loved ones.
