anything to stop donald trump at the moment. he leads, i think 30 points ahead in iowa, 25 ahead in new hampshire. you've got this latest poll out. this man's, seems to me like he's got the nomination tied down. i don't know what could upset it now. >> i agree. he's had it for hong time. everything else -- a long final. everything else has been for second place, vice president or image boosting or candidate bashing. and, ultimately, that's why these debates have become -- they're fake, because the real front-runner isn't there, and they don't know how to talk about him because they don't want to offend his supporters. and they see his overwhelming lead of 30, 40, 50, 60 points depending on what it looks like, it'll only be interesting to see when comes in second in iowa and by how much. donald trump's pointing to win these early states, and and the pressure's going to be towards other candidates dropping out and realizing we've got our guy. stuart: pete, i think we're in agreement today. the state of play in america is not good. we have, what else do we agree

the white house says biden's been heavily involved in trying to hammer out this deal before the end of the year. proposals under discussion, reportedly, include plans to allow homeland security officials to stop migrants from applies for asylum if crossings at the border exceed 5,000 a day, including families with children and more ways to expel migrants who have not claimed asylum or not approved pd, but nothing's been formalized quite yet. >> whether we can land this plane, i don't know. you know, what i'm looking for is the president the acknowledge the border is severely broken and a real danger to the country. sitting there with president zelenskyy didn't do much for me because i'm already there on ukraine. i want him to be talking about the i'm committed to turning around a broken border before it's too late. >> reporter: the senate is set to recess after today until the end of the year, and some republicans are saying that folks need to stick around.

[laughter] good morning, congressman. >> morning. stuart: the democrats are considering expanding my grant camps and deportations. do you think that would stop the flow? >> look, stu, i think if the word gets out that you are going to have to sit in detention until eventually years town the road -- town the road, that they actually adjudicate your case versus the current state of things where you get three meals and a hot cot and then you're sent into the interior of america with a please come back in a couple of years, yeah, i do think -- and we, it's not just

what i think, it's what actually happened just a few years ago. we know once that word questions out, then people stop making that dangerous journey. and the thing i'll always repeat is 40% of young girls are being sexually assaulted and sold into human trafficking that are making this journey. it is a humanitarian crisis. and now it's also a national security crisis with biden's own fbi director wring -- ringing the alarm bell. i think that's one of the reasons he's finally coming to the table. stuart: are the republicans solid on this, stay together, make demands on border security and wait and just let ukraine aid, put that on the side until you get what you want on the border? you solid on this? if. >> oh, i think we're rock solid on it, stu. and, look, this isn't about doing either/or, this is just about priorities. and one of the reasons we're so rock solid is our bosses, the people, are our constituents are giving us this message loud and

clear. they don't look at just this country or that country. rates, out of control inflation, gas prices. oh, by the way, our border is a total and complete mess and let's take care of that. let's take care of america first, and we can talk about helping our allies. stuart: congress match, hunter biden defied the house subpoena. he opted not to appear for closed door testimony. do you think hunter will ever testify? >> i think he's going to find every which way, but these are pretty clever -- every which way not to, and if these are pretty clever excuses and a pr play. i'll just remind, i'll remind our viewers, don jr. sat for hours and hours and hours with democratic lawmakers, with lawyers, depositions, doj, various committees, you know? this is not unprecedented here. but he's going to, he's going to dodge and weave because at the end of the day, i think it's pretty clear, stu, taxes weren't

paid, he was acting as a foreign agent unregistered for not just, you know, some country like new zealand. we're talking china, russia and other, and other adversaries. and then finally, what policies did his dad change as a result of all of this? because, clearly, we had comingled accounts, comingled funds. and i don't know any government official that needs 20-plus shell companies. stuart: do you think that the hunter probe and the biden impeachment inquiry is enough to get, get the president off the ballot? >> well, i think the inquiry is going to give us the standing in court to get the tax records, the bank records and the information that we need. and we'll follow the facts, stu, and so far they're pretty damning. stuart: congressman, thanks for joining us. congressman wallet, see you soon. >> happy holidays, merry christmas. stuart yes, sir, thanks a lot. getting back to the border, a large increase in migrants

arriving from china. ashley, what do we know about this? ashley: well, according to the latest available data, 4,9119 -- 4,199 chinese migrants apprehended in the san diego sector as -- alone. the chinese asylum seekers are apparently leaving their home country due to the political climate and lack of economic prospects. they're showing up all along the southern border between january and september this year, border patrol apprehended a total of 22,187 chinese nationals for illegally crossing the border from mexico. authorities say part of the reason is the processing times in u.s. embassies in china are taking so long, it's getting harder to get a tourist visa, and that is prompting chinese nationals to take separate measures by traveling to mexico or south america to enter the u.s. illegally. what they used to do was get a tourist visa, get to the united

states, and they'd claim asylum that way. stu. stuart: thanks, ash. coming up, president trump's election interference trial could be delayed until after march of 2024. that means the trial could be after the all-important super tuesday. that sounds like a trump win to me. as the winter season is about to begin, we're seeing a rise in respiratory illnesses like covid, rsv is. should we get the rsv vaccine? dr. marty makary passes judgment on that next. ♪ doctor, doctor, give me the news, i got a bad days of loving you. ♪ no pill's gonna cure my ail. ♪ i got a bad case of loving you ♪

to eat a double serving of humble buy. -- pie. i was wrong about the fed. and then last week i came across imax biopharma. they're a better form of car-t -- stuart: what's that? >> novartis, it's the personalized medicine that would attack the cancers and showed good efficacy but only in about 20% of patients. it now has lower toxicity, lower side effects, and they had an overall response rate of 100%, so that means 10 out of the 10 patients showed the tumors regressed at least 30%, and 7 out of 10 had chance -- cancer go away completely, so this is very rare to see in a biotech where 10 out of 10 patients show that response. again, traditional car-t drugs, even keytruda, it only works about 15%, 1.5-2 patients. stuart: you may have moved the market. it was up 7% when you started

talking, it's up 12% now. tell me about gitlab. >> it's the like crowd sourcing for coding. it brings together a lot of finish it's a software platform that makes coding easier, faster and also more secure. this is a company that is a $10 billion market cap company. no disclosures here, but they just reported quarterly are results, sales were up 32%. the stock's up about 50% since the bottom in october. so this is a momentum play, one worth paying attention to because it's a high margin business. stuart: got it. lou, thank you very much is, indeed. respiratory ill illnesses on the rise across the country. jonathan serrie is with us. this isn't just covid, right? >> reporter: yeah. all the other ones too, flu, rsv. the cdc reports that rsv levels have increased particularly among young children. doctors are also seeing an increase in children and young people coming in with pneumonia, but medical experts say these cases do not have a direct link to similar cases that they're seeing in europe and china.

>> we don't have any particular clusters or outbreaks or anything at this point, but this is something that happens every year. >> reporter: and an rsv vaccine is available for adults 60 and older as well as some expectant mothers. there's also an antibody treatment for infants to boost up their e immunity against rsv. they are particularly susceptible. and flu shots and vid vaccine ises are recommended for everyone older than six months. while activity is increasing for all three of these viruses, the cdc says covid is causing the highest rate of hospitalizations with 22,513 new covid hospital admissions reported just last week. >> we're seeing more respiratory illnesses and pneumonias in the united states and around the world, but right now we're not seeing anything new or

unfamiliar in terms of virus or sickness. >> reporter: and, stu, the white house confirmed this morning drug manufacturers will produce an additional 230,000 doses of rsv antibody treatment for infants by next month. back to you. stuart: got it, jon than. thanks very much, indeed. dr. marty makary, we just heard about these respiratory illnesses, rsv, for example. is there the such a thing as an rsv vaccine? >> there is, and it's recommended for people over 60 and for moms in the third trimester of pregnancy. rsv is something that commonly affects really young kids. it's one of the reasons kids go to a neonatal icu, particularly kids who are premature, and that's a lot of kids, about 13 million a year. about 10% of all births are premature kids, so that's probably the target audience where it's highly recommended. stuart: can you tell me what's going on here? virtually everybody i know has a cough that doesn't go away for a

are long time. i think you may have come across this yourself. what is that cough? is it flu? is it wrong covid or something? rsv? what is it? >> look, people are on edge because we just dealt with a global pandemic. these are the normal seasonal viruses that come around. this is a combination of rsv and rhino if virus and about half a dozen viruses including some covid. covid is disproportionately highly tested for, but it's really not dominating the cold season by any stretch. this is a typical flu season where we are also seeing some immune rebound from all the shell -- sheltering that people were living under for the last three years. stuart: okay. we feel a little relieved now. thank you very much, doctor. a huge jump in poison control calls due to ozempic overdoses. first of all if, what are the symptoms, and how come so many people are overdosing? >> yeah, i saw i this report. so, look, ozempic and man jar row, wegovy, these are mimicking

hormones normally in your body that slow down the g.i. tract, they slow down the movement of food, so the side effects are naturally going to be vomit ising, nausea. and talk to anyone who is in the process of vomit vomiting, you feel like you're going to die. that's why they're calling poison control. stuart: okay. i think i've gotta that a one. are we in a new era of weight loss drugs? i understand oprah winfrey is using them now. >> look, a lot of people are on them, and a lot of people who are very close to all of us, and we're seeing massive demand right now. the companies, novo novo nordisk and lilly, have announced a lawsuit against come pounding and medical spas that are offering it, but they can't meet the demand out there the right now. novo nordisk just did a partnership with thermo fisher this summer to get them to produce it, and lilly is opening an entire giant factory in north carolina just really to make these drugs. so we're seeing tremendous

demand. somebody's got to actually say, look, this is a lifelong treatment unless you change your lifetime style. what is the underlying problem here. stuart: and at the moment, you've got to take innexts. there's no such thing as a pill at the moment, is there? >> there is with with wegovy, and this is going to be an oral form of man jar row soon, and that's very technically feasible. stuart: that will be popular. dr. marty makary, always a pleasure. very informative. see you again soon. >> thanks, you too. stuart: scientists say breathing is bad for the environment, okay? ashley, i believe -- does this come from britain? because it sounds like a joke to me. [laughter] ashley: yeah, what was your first clue? hold your breath, as they say. this new study, yes, in the u.k., claims that gases in air exhaled from human lungs adding to global warming. that's a lot of9 hot air. sign terrorists say that methane and nitrous ox side in the air that we exhale makes up 0.1% of

greenhouse gas emissions, and that doesn't include other bodily functions that i'll leave to your imaginations. the study doesn't say that we should try to find a way to combat the gases from breathing, but it says the impact of the gas releases warrants more rebel, especially the impacts of an aging population and shifting diets. in other words, no more baked beans for me or you, mr. varney. [laughter] stuart: that was a good one, very good. you're a very humorous kauai today. well done,. ashley:. i'm going to get serious for a moment. lou basenese, when you're considering an investment strategy, do you really take into consideration global warming? >> we take it into consideration when we're looking at technologies that can actually impacting it. spending more money on research like this is just a waste of time. there's companies that are developing technologies, one called clear sign combustion, klir, that has a burper -- clir,

that has a burner that reduces nox. this is a direct impact on the environment is. they can reduce the emissions of nox by 90% if in refinery burners. that is a technology that we should be spending time and resources to get into the market because it's not a cost of compliance, it actually deliver cans a benefit, a profit -- stuart: what was the stock again? >> clear sign combustion. stuart: thanks very much. green energy on your screen. tomorrow's friday, one of the last of the year. we want to know what was your favorite "varney" moment in 2023. send it to varneyviewersfox.com. next, house republicans vowing to hold hunter biden in contempt of congress after refusing to appear at a closed door deposition. tom fitton tells us if hunter will ever sit down to testify. that's next. ♪

stuart: another big day on the hill for hunter as former doj prosecutor leslie wolf is set to testify today. chad pergram on capitol hill. chad, what could her testimony mean for the president's son? [no audio] stuart: i think we have an audio problem there. let's see if you can open the channel of communication to my good friend chad pergram. he's moving his lips, can you hear me? >> reporter: i hear you now. while leslie wolf was an assistant u.s. attorney for delaware, republicans believe wolf put the chi kibosh on the understood -- hunter biden investigation. she's talking to house investigators now. >> we want to ask her questions about all that, and maybe most importantly why the invest decide -- can invest decided to let the tax years 2024, 2015 when the bulk of the income was

coming in to hunter biden, why they let the statute of limitations lapse for those years. when you get into burisma, it does, because this is the ukrainian energy company that paid him so much money. >> reporter: expect more depositions in the coming weeks now that the house formalized an impeachment invest. the difference is that moderate gop members who represent swing districts were willing to vote yes. they resisted an impeachment inquiry for months but no more. >> we've got 30 shell companies, specific transactions coming in, we've got suspicious activity reports coming from, you know, over a dozen of them from different banks. we've got indictments coming in to hunter whose only business is selling his dad's name. and we've got specific checks being handed between family members. >> reporter: this likely means the impeachment inquiry drifts into 2024. democrats are watching. they believe impeachment is a stunt to help former president trump and tarnish president biden ahead of the election.

>> the house republican impeachment inquiry is the definition of unserious. the house should be looking at the senate right now for an example of how both sides can work together in a meaningful way to pass serious legislation to improve the lives of the american people. >> reporter: schumer ducked a question by fox earlier this week on how he'd handle articles of impeachment if they were sent to the senate from the house. stuart? stuart: chad, thanks very much, indeed. i want to bring in judicial watch president tom fitton. i'm just pick up on what senator schumer had to say there. he regards the republican pressure for impeachment unserious. what would you say to that, tom? >> well, in my view, what's unserious is to ignore really the powerful evidence of a racketeering operation that involved then-vice president biden and arguably president biden and bribery. and there's been nothing like it in american history where a president has been so directly implicated in personal and

public-related criminal activity. and as the moderates, so-called moderates in the are republican party admitting in the house is the evidence is overwhelming, they'd like nothing more than to avoid this, but the facts are what they are. and on top of that,s you know, you have hunter showing up and thumbing his nose at the hill yesterday, going into what looks to be contempt of congress. we find out from politico he talked to his father about that. so, you know, hunter and joe are joined at the hip. and in my view, joe biden and the white house counsel's office that's been in contact with hunter's lawyers about, frankly, it looks like how to obstruct and divert these investigations should be subject to questioning through this impeachment inquiry as well. stuart: will hunter ever testify, and does it matter? >> well, you know, he's under two federal indictment cans now, and i would presume his lawyer

would probably be -- [laughter] telling him the take the fifth amendment. but it does matter in the sense that there is a law, you know, you have to comply with congressional subpoenas absent a good reason, and you can go to court to try to object to them. but to go into contempt like this puts you potentially in the criminal crosshairs. but hunter, i think, is betting on his father's appointees in the biden justice department to engage in a partisan analysis here and not pursue any contempt charges if they're referred by the house. stuart: as the impeachment inquiry goes forward, they're going to interview witnesses and subpoenaing documents, that kind of thing, is bad stuff going to come out between now and the end of the primary season sufficient to put biden out of the race? what do you think? >> oh,ing well, that's more of a political question. stuart: it is. >> it's unlikely. it's unlikely that we'll get

more detailed or admissions especially since the money is disguised it looks like as loans and such, and people are going to have to decide whether they credit the explanations that, you know, there are loan repayments from china money and they were legitem argument -- legitimate loan at issue. in response to schumer, i would recommend republicans really accelerate and escalate the impeachment inquiry and not mess around and wait months and weeks to get testimony. they need the push hard. stuart: get on with it. tom fitton, great stuff. thanks very much, indeed, for joining us. see you again real soon. it's that time when we look at all 30 of the dow stocks. i say it every day, give you a sense of the market. well, it's split right now, half up, half down. the dow is up 119 points. look at that, 37,209. the the president of
