alaska elizabeth: thank you, larry. we have breaking news coming in, reaction is now pouring in to the president's speech just a few moments ago. fox news contributor liz peek, wall street journal columnist bill mcgurn joining us. liz, the president just attacked president trump and maga republican voters. good to see you both. liz, he's saying democracy is on the ballot when democrats are trying to take trump off the ballot in a dozen states, what do you think, liz? >> here's a guy attacking his number one political opponent trying to get him thrown in jail, trying to take away his business and take him off the ballot so people can't vote for their preferred candidate. liz, this is the most hypocritical president in my lifetime. not only hypocritical. remember, he was going to bring the country together.

elizabeth: he campaigned on unity and now he's really divisive, bill. when you saw this speech, were you thinking he can't run on bidenomics or his record and attacking republican voters and maga voters and democrats tried to impeach trump the day he was inaugurated, bill. >> i agree with liz and what you say but i would also say it's biden's best bet because he can't campaign on bidenomics and people rejected it. he can't talk about the border that people care about. t the mess that he created and his party sin creasingly split over foreign policy and the fiasco of afghanistan and what would you do if you were in that? you'd start spotting natzis everywhere and accusing your opponent of being in sympathy with them. elizabeth: what bill just said, what's interesting, liz, that's the important point that his

polling, biden's polling from gallop, quinnipiac, monmouth, economist ugov and below 40, stuck in the 30s and we've never seen a president in modern history running again on those numbers, liz. james f freeman at the press, bl mcgurn's coworker is talking about that. >> yeah and plus they jiggered the primary schedule for democrats to make sure biden had an advantage. if i were a democrat, i'd be annoy noisy recordingsed and certainly the -- annoyed and certainly the democrats in new hampshire are that the schedule is teed up to help joe biden. how democratic is that? elizabeth: yeah, what liz just said, it's about hepping joe biden get elected and the spied

and the biden justice department indicting him and fundraises by the colorado secretary of state to kick trump off the ballot and going to biden fundraisers. biden has been attacking and republican fubbed raisers and sent fbi agents into catholic chumps. >> it's clear that joe biden is unpopular and his policies aren't working and people know it. in that scenario, what he's hoping for is the only republican he might beat is donald trump. he wants trump to be the nominee as i think the press does too. they want to weaken donald trump. they want to cover him in indictments and so forth, but they fear that trump is the only one giving biden something to say and he can rail about maga

americans and at the beginning, very different from the junety promised in the first post election speech. elizabeth: yeah, he wants to run against trump as bill mcgurn says to attack trump and it's the president that did hundreds of executive orders circumstance come venting congress. who's the threat to democracy really? >> yeah, and the public is aware that joe biden lies about everything and he certainly lies about the economy, the big lie of this administration, let's remember is that it was on the brink when he took office and everybody that looks at this knows that's simply not true and there was no excuse for pass ago $1.9 trillion american rescue bill and there was no miranda warning, there was no need for a rescue. so when his numbers and the debt in the house went up $6 trillion and he has the gal to blame tram and republican tax cuts even

though tax revenues went up after the tax cuts. he's so dishonest about inflation, about everything that i think the american public will also see through these attacks on this. elizabeth: breaking news, bill mcgurn, the reports are coming in, u.s. supreme court will hear former president donald trump's 14th amendment appeal about kicking off gush colorado trying to kick off trump from the state ballot there. scoutus will take it on. what do you think? >> they had to. that's the job of the supreme court. starting in colorado and then the effort elsewhere in maine, another effort for republican candidate and open the door and you'll get a lot of it and maybe not this year but sooner or later, they'll get republican attempts to keep democrats off the ballot. in all the constitutional questions that arise, one thing to keep in mind, the founders

wants these decisions by who's fit to represent us and to be decided by the american people. we're getting away from that if the court doesn't weigh it in. elizabeth: as bill points out, only congress in second five can move in the way that these states are doing to premove tram and violating the law and it's unconstitutional. final word, liz back. >> that's not going to work and can't imagine that trump shouldn't remain on the ballot and political partisan gerrymandering of unconscionable level. i can't imagine it'll spained. the appeal of the colorado municipal to ban trump from the state ballot there and liz peek,

bill mackinnon, you're terrific. getting to john lonski. this is breaking news. john, you're an expert on this. the new jobs report for december and decent 216,000 jobs and, john, we did a deep dive into the government num numbers and d the government overstated the initial jobs report over the last 11 straight months by 414,000 jobs. they erased 414 jobs after the fact, after the prior 11 jobs report. the president is not as great at touting jobs. what do you think? >> that's exactly right, liz. in fact the latest jobs number if not for the downward revisions of october and november, the monthly increases instead of being 216 falls down

to 145,000 4:jobs. in turn, i would expect that this latest number for december will be revised lower telling us that the labor department has been overstating the health of the jobs market throughout 2023. >> i mean, john, it's not random if it's 11 months straight they're doing it. elizabeth: something is going wrong and something is wrong with what the government is doing with the jobs report. >> well, for now, there's a problem with the algorithm and estimation technique and i want to add that the jobs report today is not as accurate as and that's because the percentage of companies and businesses that respond to the survey that's mailed out by the labor department is considerably less than years ago and perhaps this

helps account for the downward revision. elizabeth: the manufacturing sector just 6,000 jobs in december. john, the marco rubioing sector in contraction for 14 straight months. the president is pulling authorities for this. go ahead. >> for december, we lost 12,000 jobs in the production of motor vehicle and parts and we're picking up the failure of electric vehicles that take off and there's a number of layoffs in detroit related to the buildup of inventories of un-cold electric vehicles. >> let's listen to former speaker pelosi getting ridiculed on twitter and social media for this claim. watch this. >> i'm very excited about the credentials, the legitimacy, the leverage that joe biden has given to america's working

families. elizabeth: john, what leverage? what credentials and legitimacy? working families, they're seeing their incomes torched by inflation and purchasing power torched by inflation. 17.4 fertilizers all in inpolice station in the white house and polling one of the worst presidencies in the modern era according to gallop and 538 polling. >> you know what, a lot of people that look at jobs reports they fail to disclose that jobs rendition of anthonyuation has been their only focus and lower paying jobs in healthcare and leisure and hospitality and i'll add that not only does the average working family suffer from still very high prices, inflation may have cooled off but price levels have not come down.

elizabeth: john lonski, got it. thank you so much. love the christmas tree in the background. >> happy new year, liz. elizabeth: you too. staying on the breaking news, the supreme court will hear the trump white house appeal -- excuse me, the trump appeal on february 8 of the colorado decision to ban trump from the state ballot. still ahead. senator marsha blackburn and congressman jeff van drew and top department official francey hakes and house democrats accused of botching the new report and attacking trump. you'll hear what eric trump has to say. plus, we're taking on this movement in the supreme court to take on the case to try and ban trump from the colorado ballot. illinois is trying to do that and yet another democrat didn't read the constitution on this. we've got it. chatter gee. a prosecutor on jack smith's team, did he shut down the fbi's probe into the clinton

unanimously that this is something that you can't do. this was not meant, what they're trying to do to president trump is sleetly inappropriate and it was meant during the time of the civil war when somebody was trying to overthrow the country and doesn't apply to anything that happened with president trump and that's what they're going to say. elizabeth: liz is joining the push to remove trump from the state ballots and about 13 states trying to do this, congressman. democrats like nancy pelosi and jamie raskin say it's up to the states to do this and they're wrong. they're misreading the 14th amendment. doesn't section 5 say only congress can do anything anywhere remotely near that? >> absolutely. and of course they're wrong. so they're pretending not to understand the constitution, you know, what's unfortunate is that

people that were supposedly educated should know better are at a point where they're behaving as if they were in totalitarian governments or totalitarian third words and putin is pulling everybody off the ballot that will oppose him and we're at a time in the are desperate and doing the wrong thing and will come out in the supreme court case. elizabeth: house democrats attacked trump claiming his business got $7.8 million from foreign entities while president but eric trump said the democrats botched this and eric trump said the trump organization donated the profits from foreign entities during trump's presidency to the u.s. treasury and don't have the ability to stop people booking

rooms at trump hotels overseas like on sites like expedia. >> president trump had a real flourishing business. he's a businessman and became president so they voluntarily gave to the treasury any profits that they made because people stayed in their hotels. unlike the biden administration and president biden is when he was vice president had no business. their business was influence peddling the united states government for their own gain to make money, and, boy, they sure didn't give anything back to the treasury. as we know, president biden's son didn't even pay his damn taxes. i mean, they're very, very different but again, this is because they're desperate, they want to win the election, they'll go to any means to do so and this is just one more example. i'm going to tell you that the bowing open up on the republican party for president trump and they're actually afraid that we're going to bring america

home again, that we are going to restore our america to where it should be and they're going to do everything they can to stop it. you are seeing it now, and we're going to see it even more so hold on. this is going to be a rocky ride. elizabeth: once the supreme court rules in trump's favor here. >> when they rule in his favor, they're going to absolutely say that you can't take him off the ballot. he'll be on all those ballots, and anybody obviously should be afraid of what they're trying to do to democrats because, you know, republicans could try to do it in reverse and say that biden shouldn't be on the ballot or somebody else shouldn't be. this is third world activity, this is what totalitarian dictatorships do. this is not the united states of america. also the united states of america is not open boarders. it's everything they're doing to change this country structurally forever from something that's never been. elizabeth: we go down the middle

of the road and know that, congressman, about "the evening edit" and looking at it trying to do from a 30,000-foot perspective. when we see things like the fbi spying on the trump campaign, trying to link and dot story and get the report out that, you know, trump did collude with russia to hack dnc or hillary clinton campaign e-mails. that didn't happen. at the same time hillary clinton campaign was funding a false steel dossier with madeup stories and putting that inside the fbi. when you see things like al green, democrat, filing for impeachment resolution, doing that the day trump was inaugurated and riots in dc the day trump was inaugurated and blocking of trump's policies via the courts, you see on and on and on and see they railroaded

tram nap 2017. >> president trump learned a lot as president and a bisman and smart man and learned a lot about how the folks are operating and they're going to try to block him trust worthy truly saving america and you bring out a great point and i want people to understand what the russia collusion hoax was about and the fbi went on the word of i go igor luke luke and none was there and john durham

did an independent neutral report and all done the wrong way, none was true, and&that's only a small example of what they're trying to do. they're trying to use the government's -- to go forward with their own desperate political needs and desires. it's so wrong. it's so wrong for america. it's so wrong for the american people. it truly makes me sick to my stomach, and i pray to god every single day we rise above that and that this country prevails and the rule of law, which is something these people don't believe in, that it prevails as well. elizabeth: so we've got, you know, the appeals court will hear the president's immunity claim from basically he was president in -- this is referring to the january 6, 2020 case brought by the special council jack smith. that hear asking going to take place, we're hearing possibly

next week and where do you think that goes and we have constitutional scholars and reagan's attorney general saying special council jack smith shouldn't even have this office or the power of u.s. attorneys and congress never enacted the office and never approved the office or passed legislation putting smith's office in place so that d they're saying that smith's own office is illegal and annotational and never nominated by the president, never confirmed by the senate. what do you think of that? >> it's just business as usual for these people and whatever sticks against the wall they go for it. they're trying to wear the president down, president trump down and they're trying to throw everything they can at him. whatever theyly will work, they push. they don't care about the rule of law or constitutionality.

they just don't care. the whole january 6 thing of course it wasn't a great time in history, but if they keep compage rating and making it worse and it's the only thing they have to go on because they're wrong on the economy and wrong with the borders and parental rights and wrong on the way they are dealing with every issue that is so important to americans like foreign policy and we're collapsing around the world and see it in the mideast and everywhere else. they're just wrong for america. elizabeth: got it. congressman van drew, thank you for joining us on that break news. bring in former top doj official francey hakes. francey, your take on the supreme court will hear the trump team athe colorado ban on trump removing trump from the colorado state ballot. your reaction to the this news? >> i'm not surprised, liz. i'm relieved and happy and it's

an issue growing from state to state as states try to kick president trump off the ballot in what is obviously an anti-democratic and un-american move by the democrats and we'll hear oral argument and may get a sense from the supreme court about how individual justices feel about the issue by their questions. so hopefully they will hear it, we'll get a sense of what they think, and they'll rule fairly quickly and put a stop to these illegal maneuvers by the states. elizabeth: francey more news coming in, new york state attorney general learfield img tee supra aural headphones james seeking a big $370 million in penalties from former president trump and trump organization in her civil fraud case and more than the $250 million she estimated. shah gilani thornh thornhill tos coming ahead of next weeks closing arguments in that case. what do you think of this, francey? >> liz, it's hard to understand

this entire case and generally civil law is designed to punish people that have done something wrong like committed fraud if it's a civil case, make the victim whole again or the criminal case, the purpose is to punish a perpetrator but this is civil. the supposed victims, the banks, testify that had they weren't victimized at all. there was no fraud. we had president trump put up an expert who was a recognized ebbing pert who the judge -- expert and the judge somehow disregarded and said there was nothing wrong with the accounting the trump team was using and this is the hard to understand what the judge is going to stand on when he rules as i don't doubt he will as he rules for leticia james and what she's asking for. i don't know if she'll get everything but won't surprise me given what i see as the kangaroo court proceedings that have taken place thus far in the crop. elizabeth: i'm going to ask a team to tee up democrat jamie raskin sound bite talking about this.

illinois voters, they're the latest state trying to remove trump from their state ballot citing the 14th amendment on insurrection and listen to democrat congressman jamie raskin joining former speaker nancy pelosi, apparently neither of them read the full text of the constitution, basically saying that, yeah, the states are allowed to remove trump from state ballots. watch this. >> well, the text of the constitution is un-ambiguous. it's perfectly clear if you swore an oath to uphold the constitution and violate it by engaging in insurrection or rebellion, you're never allowed to hold federal or state office again. i guess my major question is given the comprehensiveness and air-tight logic of the colorado decision, why would there be any reason to depart from the clear text of the constitution and from the original purposes? i would pose that specifically to the so-called textualists and originalists on the court.

elizabeth: how about we pose to him why he clearly did not read the 14th amendment. francey, how does an elected official, a lawmaker including nancy pelosi and now jamie raskin not read the 14th amendment? again, section 5 says congress only has the power to enact a law to do anything remotely like removing trump from any state ballots. they didn't do that. jowski well, you're right about that, liz. jamie raskin needs his eyes checked because he clearly cannot read and i don't know what state bar he's a member of. he certainly shouldn't be calling himself a lawyer as i know he does or a former prosecutor as he also cause because he clearly doesn't understand how to read the constitution and how to understand the construction of the 14th amendment, which is pretty clear. the president is not even listed in clause 3 of the 14th amendment as you've noted, congress has to prom l gait the

rules behind how to remove somebody from the ballot under the 14th amendment and it's not clear to me, liz, jim jordan initial could be removed under the 14th amendment given the clear reading of the amendment and i expect the shotty piece of work will be slapped down. elizabeth: thank you, francey. bring in senator marsha blackburn. senator, great to have you on. thank you for joining us this friday evening. your reaction to the news that the supreme court will hear the trump team's appeal of the colorado ban on trump trying to remove trump from the state ballot. what's your reaction? >> i'm pleased the court is going to take this up. i have no doubt they're going to

side with president trump in this. we need to get past these ridiculous charges of state officials strioing to deny the people of their state the ability to vote for the candidate of their choice. that's exactly what they're dortmouth trying to do. i thought what hap happened in e was just so absurd, liz, the fact you have minnesota someone, not an attorney and appointed state official and along and says you can't even cast a vote or have your say actor donald trump running for president. elizabeth: but the president today just a few hours ago gave a speech saying "maga republican voters are a threat to democracy". >> and we know this as incorrect. when i talk with tennesseans and what they tell me is they want to see people in washington dc

who are elected officials and individuals that are appointed by administrations. they want them to abide by the constitution. they want them to abide by the rule of law. and what we have seen the democrats carry out is something that's not in support of protecting our freedoms and liberties. it is all a power play. they are so ready to grab power and hold that power. they would like to have one one party rule, one party in power, two tiers of justice and two tiers of treatment by the federal government and diminish the rights and liberties and freedoms of hard working tennesseans and indeed hard working americans. elizabeth: senator, we want to get to the jeffrey epstein case

in just a second. there's news coming in, fox news brooke singman wrote a report that a top prosecutor on special council jack smith's team, he's ray hulzer and previously recommend that had the fbi shut down investigations into the clinton foundation in 2016 that the apparently there was illegal donations coming to the clinton foundation to buy influence with hillary clinton during her presidential campaign and three fbi offices investigating the clinton foundation and this member of special council's smith team shut that down. what do you think? >> that does not surprise me at all to hear that. when i was in the house and at energy and commerce committee, we had done oversight of the clinton foundation and we were surprised they were rate sod low

and most money went into overhead and not to the charityies and you remember, his, they had to pay ten years of back taxes on donations and tax filings. now, this should have been investigated and we were surprised that doj did not fallow through with that investigation. i think it is time for that investigation to be reopened and to look at what happened around the clinton foundation. elizabeth: you've been asking senator dick durbin, d moving onto jeffrey epstein case. dick durbin is senate and not honoring your request for the flight logs for jeffrey epstein's plane. you want justice for the victims and transparency for the american people. why is he blocking that when documents show one epstein victim, a teenage minor, was trafficked by jeffrey epstein to

prominent american politicians to obtain blackmail information. why are you being blocked here? >> we will hope that senator durbin will be true to his word that he's recently said he'd work with me on this. he has blocked two previous requests and i don't know why they're doing that . we have had such a surge in human and sex trafficking in this country. the tennessee bureau of investigation tells us that a child is bought or sold for sex every two minutes in this country. human traffic asking a $150 billion a year business over just the last few years. we need to know who was affiliated with jeffrey epstein, who he was working with and we have to break apart the human trafficking, sex trafficking

rings, getting access to gee lain maxwell's books and it's horrible conduct on behalf of the fbi and, liz, we're going to stay on top of this. elizabeth: got it, senator blackburn, we'll stay on the story. thank you for joining us tonight. >> okay. thank you. elizabeth: we have a jam packed rest of the show coming up. we're going to get more on the so-called slush fund that the house lawmakers are probing and green energy slush fund and republicans sounding alarm at biden white house handing out political favors in basically to

campaign donors but first, let's get right to dagen and sean. what are you guys fired up about on your show, the bottom line next hour? >> we have a great show and happy friday e mac. joe biden, he's scamming the migrant communities on the boarder and the migrants themselves. pledging the american dream, it's not happening. we have claudia tenney from new york congresswoman here with us and nancy pelosi giving a 65% return in 2023 on stock portfolio. is this insider trading? i don't know but thomas phillipson, he does. >> jason rantz here on code pink, loud ass lady protesters and they're backed by communist china. we dig into the detatails and me try to shut them up .x lisa boothe is also here. the supreme court will hear february 8 argument about those dems in colorado and other places trying to take president trump off the ballot. talk about a danger to democracy.

elizabeth: republicans are now investigating president biden's $400 billion "green energy slush fund as a waste of taxpayer money". right to hillary vaughn live on

ccapitol hill. hillary, what's going on? reporter: good evening, liz. this $400 billion bank is key to biden climate legacy and they're rushing to try and spend every dollar of it before it expires but republicans in congress say, not so fast. they want to make sure there is no pay to play with this money and that it isn't going to our adversaries like china, and we aren't spending cash on scams. the top republican on the senate energy committee john barrasso alongside house energy chair cathy mcmorris rogers have been digging into this green bank and the loan programs office, which is part of the department of energy run by shaw and they want know where all the money is going and to who. senator barrasso saying of the investigation "shaw and the loan program's office are treating taxpayer dollars like monopoly money. it's a total abuse of american chartered money and we'll continue to investigate their corrupt and wasteful practices. solyndra is going to look like

chump change". it's not just republicans raising the alarm about this bank. inspector general in charge of oversight says the amount of money the biden administration is trying to spend so fast in such a short amount of time is unheard off and she warns they're not prepared. >> you have massive amounts of money moving quickly and all of these things happening at once create a level of risk that may candidly be unprecedented. on the issue of not funding our adversaries i'm freightly concerned about how things are going in that regard. reporter: the administration is trying to spend this cash fast not just because it expires but before november and democrats lose the election republican state control of congress and republicans in congress could clause back the money. liz. elizabeth: hillary vaughn, what reporting and terrific journalism, thank you so much. bring in the former chairman of the federal energy regulatory commission, neil chatterjee. neil what, do you think of that

story? >> it's another example of the administration trying to force outcomes instead of allowing the markets to determine what's in the consumer's best interest and forcing subsidies and mandates and the subsidies want to build a road and the clean energy future and paving that road with subsidies and mandates and all you do is hit the potholes. elizabeth: president biden accused of using taxpayer funds like funding groups and voter blocks to get reelected and that's the criticism and gone around the supreme court again to do student loan bailouts and plus the biden white house on top of all the slush fund stuff, for the first time they're showing up $3 billion in taxpayer funds for things like environmental justice projects and nearly a dozen universities and left wings and taxpayers are getting upset about all this, neil. >> this is why it's so important that chairman mcmorris rogers rs and senator barrasso are digging

into this. that's what the opposition party is for in congress. to ensure there's account and the the mere fact this administration is trying to rush this money out the door ahead of election and goes to show you that politics is driving this not smart energy and kudos to house senate and republicans and ensuring the taxpayer dollars are not being wasted. elizabeth: there's a group called climate justice alliance and it's reportedly getting $50 million. this group reportedly has repeatedly supported the palestinian cause on hamas amid the ongoing israeli and hamas war and they're describing the status of the palestinians of the climate justice issue and they get $50 million in taxpayer money. your word on that? >> this is infuriating to me about these groups and they're not focused on the core issue and if they cared about climate change and carbon emissions and

decarbonization and that's where their focus should be. the problem is they've politicized it and now the end result is it make it is harder and harder for constructive conservatives to work with the groups to try and get positive market-based innovation and outcome when is it comes to energy. they put themselves out with climate groups and energy groups, stick to energy and don't put your nose in these other issues that you don't know anything about. about. elizabeth: so you're worried about oversight and a few seconds here. go ahead. >> i'm not worried about oversight and we've got great people and chairwoman mcmorris barrasso leading oversight efforts. elizabeth: got it. neil chatterjee, thank you so much and we really appreciate you and have a great weekend. >> thanks for having me. elizabeth: we have an exciting medical breakthrough. you know how we bring medical breakthroughs to you, we're one step close tore wheelchair bound
