thing on my mind has ever been where is neern neutral toy section. there is no demand for this thchl is part of the woke agenda democrats push. how frustrated are constituents that their government is focused on toys instead of home lszness, bu budget, crime. i would be frustrated if i were an average voter right now. >> they are frustrated. the issue is crime. we have rampant crime out of california. we just saw that previous story. we have retail crime because of gavin newsom and the democrats, people have the right to steal. they can go in, if they steal anything under $950, there is no real penalty.

we are seeing rampant theft in stores temperature is causing stores to close down and move to other states. maybe put their attention more on that issue than stopping rampant crime in our state. >> todd: it is unreal. there is this warning about the new law saying, "you have government dictating signage in stores about what words can be used to advertise products, this is opening a pandora's box," and i agree with him, isn't this a first amendment violation? >> yeah, it is unnecessary restriction on stores. let stores decide how to display their items and market the term in that. there is no demand in this from consumers, from parents, from people shopping in the stores and the government is trying to

dictate how to do things. it is a gross overreach. myself and republican and legislature oppose this. this super majority in gavin newsom out in california wants to push their agenda on everyone else. >> todd: it is unreal. republicans were once an endangered species. you have to think the tide is turning at some election soon. this is unattainable for a person in the golden state. thank you for your time, best of luck. happy new year. two weeks from the iowa caucus and three weeks from the critical new hampshire am primary with candidate fighting for support from undecided voters. we'll ask our new hampshire voter panel who they are supporting at this points in the

beat trump. >> todd: we have three people on the panel, 56% going nikki haley. trump is expected to win based upon what pollsters say. tom, based upon people you speak to and associate with, are pollsters missing something? is nikki haley in line for an upset here? >> 100% and i'm telling you, polls can go out the window at this point. the independent voter will not cave to pollsters, they make their mind up on their own. they vote democrat, republican, depending on the cycle and the independent voter will make this decision and on january 24th, american people will be surprised to see donald trump did not win the new hampshire primary. >> todd: i say wow, but i am not

shocked. he is in the lead and will annihilate the field. having spent four years in new hampshire, it is different from other states. what you are saying about nikki haley pulling off an upset, melinda and todd, seems pressing. your jacket and out the fits always put a smile on my face. three happy with 2024, washington and michigan gchl to the playoffs, qb for husk michael penix putting on a show. longhorns had a chance but that pass did fall incomplete. beautiful play. washington taking down the longhorns 37-31. rose bowl, most beautiful stadium in all the land, alabama

if he were left off the ballot. you'll have to beat donald trump at the polls. grace curly joins me. with democrats acknowledging what a bad idea it is to get trump kicked off the ballots, why do so many keep try something >> i think because this party has never cared about what is going to work. they are short-sighted and never see this as would i want this to happen to my candidate going down the line? the get trump crowd justify the means. i think justice and sanity will prevail and this will be overturned by a superior court. voters are the bread and butter of this election and i don't think they will be happy about this. >> todd: do you see republican

states returning the favor or u ultimately will the supreme court get involved so republicans aren't temped to try. >> i hope the supreme court stops it. axelrod, he is right, this is bad precedence, dangerous road to go down. it sounds cliche talking about constitutional crisis, the walls are closing in. this is bad for the country and left can't see it. >> todd: the colorado secretary of state saying she does want the supreme court to act quickly to get trump removed and says other stuff. listen. we have expected appeal from the former president and hope the court acts with urgency. i certify names on to the ballot

for presidential primary this friday. we hope the court understands presidential primaries are rapidly approaching and gives us a definitive answer whether or not the former president is disqualified from the ballot. we are only here because donald trump incited insurrection and he created this situation for himself. >> todd: without even a charge he incited insurrection, that accusation seems like it will turn off voters and make donald trump a martyr, what say you? >> i heard cnn describing it as loophole, due mroesz is not a loophole, it is a bedrock of this country and we need it. it is so much more simple, people like to make their own decision, look at something and say, i don't like him, i can decide. americans don't like being told

what to do and don't like having freedom and power taken away. >> todd: that will get the independents. thanks, appreciate your time. check in with steve doocy for a look at what is coming up on "fox and friends." happy new year, my friend. >> steve: back at you tlchl is lots of confetti in front of the building, go out with a shovel. >> todd: shovel 6:15, i'm on it. >> steve: i've been watching, you have been shoveling. coming up, joe biden new year kicks off in the worst possible way, new polls show current president trailing former president among key voter groups. how bad is joe doing? we're awaiting major jeffrey epstein document dump revealing

>> todd: we are expecting a major jeffrey epstein document dump this week revealing the names of nearly 200 people who had ties to the convicted pedophile. former president bill clinton reportedly on that list at least 50 times.

documents from epstein accuser virginia jaffreys 2015 lawsuit says she met the former president on the island of little saintgoing to get some accountability for this and whether there will be consequences of any sort remains to be seen. but i think the democrat party as a whole should be rather concerned and i also think the fact that donald trump's name hasn't come out just shows that

he is probably not on any of these documents if he were, we know that would have been levied against him long ago and his name would be the first one to be leaked. all the things they go after donald trump for. i think it's safe to say this is not going to be one of them. thank goodness. >> what do you think happens when these names are revealed. are you expecting a me too response like we saw a few years ago or because many of these people are part of allegedly the democratic power broker network that they're protected? >> >> well, there is a reason that it's taken this long to get some of these names and get these revelations. there is a reason this has been tone stonewalled for so long. those in d.c. those in hollywood, they protect each other. they shield and coddle one another. i think you will see a few passing headlines here and there. you will see maybe a little bit of outrage from those of us who actually care about the exploitation of young people and of women. but, after that, i think it's going to be a passing headline. that is really discouraging to hear. we have to keep the pressure on this and no longer going into 2024 can predators and

pedophiles be shielded and coddled whether on epstein list or looking around on social media. this ends now. time to get serious about these things. >> todd: meantime migrant encounters hit two concerning milestones. there were more than 302,000 encounters at the are so southern border alone and 785,000 since the fiscal year began on october 1. those are the highest monthly and first quarter totals ever recorded. we are now in an elections year, tomi. voters are getting more and more frustrated with the border situation and why is he still not doing anything tangible about it. >> well, todd, biden is breaking records again. the united states, europe, canada, probably the only three regions in the world that would lou hundreds of thousands of military age males cross our border. beyond this thing and national security threat and a great risk

it's also an economic drain under stressed and underresourced areas. people like nancy pelosi, gavin newsom, those who live behind gated communities. those the d.c. elite. they are not going to have to deal with this up close and personal. kids aren't going to have to deal with this in their schools. their infrastructure is not going to be stressed by. this it's your communities. your communities already struggling and tax dollars already stretched thin. that's what is impacted most by hundreds of thousands of people now several million people coming into this country. it's unsustainable, unmanageable. this can be fixed. congress needs to act. the first thing they need to do is work on asylum laws and policies. this cannot continue into 2024. >> it will be the number one issue, i think, at the end of the day in this election. we will see how it plays out. tomi, happy 2024 to you.
