unknown for president trump. liz: what's your take on the president visiting biden is nothing untoward with that. >> we saw jill and that about the president a couple of weeks ago and putting soft pressure on that and the system itself and it's trying to engineer predetermined outcome and so the we'll have to wait and see if concern is let this be fair and trump can close the gap with the let the jurors be impartial and may numbers and 84 million on hand and compared to trump's what i'm seeing right now the 49 million. even though they have as you know know from the trump biden family doing everything campaign over the 100 million in they can to have a desired may alone, the campaigning result i doesn't stop, liz. president biden is in connecticut today for high-prized fundraiser and thing. >> thank you. president trump headed to liz: welcome to the show, former southern california later this week for a pair of fundraisers. back to you i liz. interacting homeland secretary chad woman and have president biden expected tomorrow and liz: great information. after waiting three years and madison alworth, former he's expected to finally make an president trump raising executive action on the border $141 million and let's take it now to former deputy assistant collapse possibly tomorrow. attorney general tom dupre. tom, good to see you again.

we've not spoken since the conviction of former president trump on friday. what do you make of it and we're >> details matter and you hearing people saying there's a indicated the timing is very possibility trump could face curious and gone three years now saying to the american people he prison. doesn't have the authority to do what he's about to do. whether it was during the senate negotiation or whether we had 10,000 illegal crossings per day. i don't see this judge or any judge sending the normer president or possibly future president of the united states to jail at rikers or elsewhere. lyse: senator mitt romney said da bragg committed political malpractice and should have dropped the case and go to chief legal analyst and abrams and abc explaining how the judge let this case get off the rails and liz: only before the election and debate, he's going to take that there are reversible errors action and border authorities

for the trump team can take to and lawmakers point out he did 94 executive actions in his the appeals court and talking supreme court over there, too. first 100 days and collapse it had and now he plans to halt watch this. asylum requests and more. do you think this is good enough? >> which of the three underlying laws? >> exactly. a lot of questions for the defense going into this, i think, as they were making their closing arguments and not even >> now he's taking executive knowing sort of what the law that they were gone that be action and frankly for the last battling over was. three years and part of the department and saying why are you doing this now five months before the election and could have been doing this for the past several years and could have ended this crisis and the appearance of impropriety. addressed this and not going to address asylum or catch and release and over the last three years. liz: show the terror crossings on full screen again and nearly appellate judges to look and 160 caught with terror links kick the tires on a lot of issues and the big issue the

caught at border and going with trump team raises on appeal and number one is dan abrams saying the da proceed on what was an them and basically criminals and untested legal theory and the court of appeals looks very, very closely at whether that was you can see the data here and vile and judge merchan more than 10,000 robberies and more than 33,000 assault cases 7:properly allowed trump to put and nearly 7400 and the on this and the judge said the jury was not allowed to hear any of that and i suspect the trump team will raise that as another basis for reversible error on president's approval rating bottoming out and dropping on appeal. the boarder and basically you're liz: tom, liberal analysts could seeing seven out of ten saying they don't like what he did not figure out what bragg was collapsing the border. charging trump with on the jury now we want to show you now what instruction from the judge and a russian nesting doll of 34 misdemeanor counts into a felony case and are we supposed to be okay that the judge told the president johnson will do tomorrow. jurors that he didn't have to be watch this. >> too little too late, and trying to desperately showing ewe anne donovan nows on specific and unlawful means and the american people somehow he underlying the alleged felonies wants to address the issue he and plus a business record himself created and we remains in 2017 after the documented 64 specific executive

election and in 2016 and the actions that president biden and judge restricted expert secretary mayorkas at dhs took testimony for former fbc chair over the course of last three and a half years and beginning brad commit that said there was on the first day that president no campaign violation. biden took office to open the border wide. they did it intentionally and it is having catastrophic effects upon our country that we'll be living with for decades to come and now wants to issue some sort of executive order to show he really is doing this and the polls is the biggest issue in america. liz: the other actions on top of 64 opened it wider too. >> the judge didn't sent the your final word. instructions in written form and >> i agree with the speaker. hard for the jury to understand what law it was supposed to overwhelming majority of apply and you'll remember, that americans don't like the biden was one of their first questions border strategy and it's failed and failed the american people as soon as sent off into and administration knows this deliberations and said can we and they're grasping at straws come back and hear those and several months before an election and the american people instructions read to us again. can see through this. and i don't think the actions and the executive actions.

liz: good to see you. still ahead, house foreign affairs and garret exner and biden white house and they liz: tom dupre, thank you very much. chris, let's get your reaction about president biden getting questioned about this on friday winter storm on a run and with the trump case. growing number of geopolitical watch this. crises and opec+ will keep cutting oil production through next year and so how much will your gas prices go up? first, check in with good to see >> is that condition having an impact on the campaign? you. >> violence. fauci and helps committing today and james comer on having a few things to say about that one as well and might be just as excited. >> how do we stop the united states government and all the what's your take on the show in american people from getting >> it's a representation of the faucied again because they're embodyment of the corruption orem bodyment of his dimension. bureaucrats working everywhere? power hungry ready to destroy i'm not sure which one it is. this country. the way in which he responded >> yeah, something like that .

was not well received by the plus, the senate candidate of wisconsin with us. people. dagen, now. >> liz peek on the democrats trying to rewrite our memories of maganomics and turn it into office data director for never something that could be bad. back down, ron desantis we call horse manure on that. super-pact and there was a dead then cara frederick on the new heat between governor desantis york governor's move to ban and former president trump until president trump was indicted. smart phones in schools. and the first time he was finally they get something right indicted the polls start to come in the empire state. fr back and got indicted again and top of the hour. grew further apart and indicted again and further apart and then ♪ the mug shot and it was off the charts. the race was over. soy really feel like the democrats have overplayed their hand here in so many different ways that it has -- sometimes it's like be careful what you wish for. what we're seeing right now in the first polls that have come out, there's no change with the bases and that's going to dbrox the base. any democrat going to be with president trump and going to vote with a republican and vote for him hawaii this does and a representation of what eric trump was talking about and you

were talking about in terms of fundraising that the former president had, 53 million between thursday and friday, 30% of that is new donors. say that's a bit off and it's off by 5%. 5% exaggeration and a quarter are new donors and a political campaign and that represents to me is a entrance into the political marketplace of those who did not care before. liz: public opinion solidified around trump and biden is biden and trump's approval rates have not fundamentally changed in about three years and the polls are coming in. roiders ipsos say 51% saying they're politically motivated

and in the aftermath of highly contentious issue like this, you can't trust the immediate polling. >> can't trust the polling or immediate makeup of the polling and don't mean to get too complex here and it's looking at continuous sample of the same universe turning out and voting in 2024 and here it's i believe it has the potential to motivate voters that would have staid home in 2024 independents and less interested voters that look at elections and it's really an impact on me.

interesting about 25% new donors and 31% cost 53 million. if they're accurate and those are people that have not been involved in the political process before and now going online or making a phone call or text to donate, certainly going to be likely to turn out and vote and that's an impact. liz: chris, a quick question and working for president biden to campaign and trump is a convicted felon and going to sway voters? final word? >> no, it won't. that has already sunk in. if i was the biden campaign, i'd be trying to get away as quickly as possible and it's nothing to gain other than maybe additional fundraising from the space. liz: got it, thank you, chris wilson. we have a jam-packed hour of news and congressman russel fry from house judiciary and congressman tim burchett from house foreign affairs and acting dhs secretary and operations officer garret exner and dr. marty makary and mark simon
