cvp confirming record number of encounters at the southern border in december as agent struggle to cope with the surge of illegal crossings. rachel: the senate reaching a deal president biden says would give him the power to shut down the southern border. we want lucas tomlinson has the details. >> reporter: a new gallup poll shows president biden's approval rating the lowest in year $0.03 any president since jimmy carter and when it comes to the president's approval rating on the southern border, he reachedes a low of 18% according to the new abc news paul. let's look at those numbers which fox has been reporting on. for weeks, official from dhs, 750,000 migrant encounters since october, 300,000 in december, the highest monthly total of apprehension since the beginning of the united states, a population more than cincinnati.

the state of play, where the border bill stands now, it calls for mandatory shutdown of the border. if there are 8500 migrant encounters a shut down of daily encounters reduced to 75% of the 5000 threshold, mandatory detention of single adults or migrants who did not have valid asylum claims can be removed which migrants caught trying to cross twice during the shutdown phase will face a long us ban. let's take a look how many migrants would be allowed in the us under the proposed border deal. one hundred 50,000 crossings per month, 1.8 million people per year. a population of phoenix. the statement from president biden announcing this, we know the border is broken, it's time to fix it, what has been

negotiated would've passed into law be the toughest set of reforms to secure the border we've ever had in our country and give me as president a new emergency authority when it becomes overwhelmed. let's look at the statement from mike johnson who says if rumors about the contents are true, it would have dead on arrival in the house anyway. election-year politics are sure to play in to this. president biden heads to south carolina one week ahead of the primary. robert palmer, addicted to love, is that what we talk about at the top? will: i said lucas will have it and i was shocked. you come back, we don't know if that is true. we have a debate on our hands. pete: it is addicted to love or

simply irresistible, simply irresistible, one of the two. >> you make quite and oppression are young man. rachel: the professional delivered the news first and then remembered the name of the song and revealed it to all of us. equally serious, i would say. thank you. will: we have that debate going on on social media. pete: it is addicted to love, that is the winner. will: to put a button on serious news, that will is not going anywhere. the absurdity of suggesting we will shut it down i will have the power to shut it down once we had a threshold of 5000, we should kick in at 7:30 a.m. every morning. you have the power now. you don't need new laws, just enforce existing laws.

pete: you nailed it, the first come first serve immigration compromise bill which is why donald trump has come out against it, speaker johnson said we won't do it unless we do hr 2. why came on 1/2 bill which is about ukraine funding, that's what it is about. a lot of washington dc want to fund the ukraine war so they will give are a few concessions on the border which doesn't lockdown the border at all, hands president biden a talking point he doesn't deserve and doesn't fix anything on the border. stand your ground. rachel: that will happen in the days and weeks to come. watch for this. president biden is going to say i provided the solution to shut the border down and decrease this crisis and republicans turned it down and said no. they are the problem. i am the solution. in reality that's not what is happening at all. 5000 people a day before anything gets shut down, still

a major crisis. we were talking this before. when jay johnson was dhs secretary he said one thousand people crossing is a problem. 4,000 would be considered a crisis level, this would allow 5,000 people into the country. every single day. pete: any republican backing this up doesn't really believe in border security. they are looking for a talking point. let's move on to another thing this administration gutted from the beginning. they gutted border policy from day one and gutted the energy policy. saying that it sticks to what president biden said, the end all fossil fuels, he said that to multiple people on the trail. they are going after liquefied natural gas. we have tons of natural gas resources in this country across the fruited plain, you might say but they want us to stop exporting it because of climate change. here is jennifer granholm, the

energy secretary denying knowledge of that very promise i just talked about president biden making. >> activists are hailing the decision as a landmark crisis that shows industries no longer get a blank okay to proceed with building oil and gas products. a powerful statement we can no longer allow these industries to continue operating and that harkens back to president biden's campaign to put the fossil fuel business out of business and he said read my lips, we will put fossil fuels out of business. >> i did not hear him say that. >> look at youtube. will: he did despite her denial. you don't have to go that far back. a campaign promise in september 2019. watch. >> president biden: look in my eyes. i guarantee you, i guarantee

you we are going to end fossil fuels. will: look in my eyes, i guarantee you. does it get any more clear? rachel: this is an election year promise to climate change activists hailing liquefied natural gas for new export facilities. would still be exporting liquefied natural gas but the new ones, there is a pause and creating them. a big project that could be taking place in louisiana, 10 billion-dollar project. imagine the jobs that are impacted by that and that reminds me what happened when president biden entered office with the pipeline, liquefied natural gas is one of the cleanest forms of energy. if you don't have that, then what are those countries going to use? call? burning coal? if we don't, go to russia, this could be a win for russia.

brian: rachel: someone else will produce it in attorney fashion. pete: produce jobs in their own country. demand is not going away. there still demand. rachel: donald trump is probably saying thank you for doing this. you just made it that much easier for me to make the argument if you want to be energy independence, vote for me. pete: that's true. all these issues are being crystallized to the point -- will: unions coming out and backing president biden, blown away by the united auto workers, when it is this administration literally killing their industry. there's another example. if you are part of a union that is supporting these policies why are you doing this. jobs we are given away to other countries. rachel: union heads are in support of the democrat party but if you talk to the union

workers, what's going on there, there are a lot of union workers all in on donald trump. will: a school district in connecticut chose to retire two holidays on the school calendar. is at stanford, connecticut, has retired veterans day and columbus day from the school calendar. it does reflect the policy or calendar of a lot of school districts around stanford but it is a change for the city to take them off of the calendar. veteran and founder of unico saying this to abc 7. it was a gut punch, it was terrible, no inclination, a lot of bad things happened in this country after the discovery. let's not whitewash it. what happened october 12, 1492, the discovery of america, significant event in the history of the human race, he is speaking about the retirement of columbus day. others said veterans day.

rachel: the other side of the argument, joshua, a board member, this is a board member who proposed the calendar change. want to return more holidays to the classroom. the majority of the board was not prepared to go further. under state law, open on federal holidays, the district must provide suitable education program in observance of the day. a lot of people say veterans day, columbus day, there has to be some sort of liberal progressive reason why we are doing this. he is saying he wants it to be celebrated in the classroom. he thinks the school years becoming too long. politics isn't at play here. pete: the calendar goes into mid june, not clear the two days are going to solve all of that. that is tough. they also suggested limiting

two religious holidays. a muslim holiday and rosh hashanah. rachel: maybe nothing to do with politics. pete: will they do right by columbus day? rachel: no. pete: they will give some spanish -- rachel: can't believe they called it columbus day. they will call it indigenous peoples day. pete: pretending it is columbus day at the same time. veterans day had the biggest veterans day ceremony and connecticut. it is not hard to bring in vets to tell their story. if you are going to do this, then bring in guys and gals that wore the uniform, talking to the kids, if you're doing that -- rachel: they could celebrate with their families and be a kid. everybody loves a three day weekend. if it's only two more i don't see the problem with that. pete: never feels like that. will: a bigger story like you have been talking about.

pete: check out poison ivy, it is about ivy league institutions and delete universities poisoning the minds not just of students who attend but our culture, our media, our government and it is not just a new phenomenon after october 7th this has been happening for decades, fast forward the entire story of how it happened. rachel: whoever came up with the title deserves a raise. will: executives came up with that title. if you put that backup. pete: i had input on the far shot. the smile on the face. this is a more stoic thing. rachel: the head shot, very serious. that's not really my thing, not

really. pete: the u.s. navy destroying houthi antiship missile in yemen earlier this morning that was ready to launch in the direction of the red sea. this action comes after the houthi successfully hit a marshall islands flag oil tanker last night. the ship reporting damage after catching fire. no one on board was hurt. the strike on the tanker marks the thirtieth attack on international shipping by ear any and back to the rebels in the last we 10 weeks. the leader of the nation's largest bank sounding the alarm about the us debt ceiling. jpmorgan chase ceo jamie dimon telling a bipartisan panel that if the snowballing us debt is not soon addressed it will result in an economic crisis. diamond saying it is a cliff. we see the cliff. it is about 10 years out, 60 miles an hour toward it. the latest finding the congressional budget office indicate the national debt will

you know how parents say you call around and do that? we don't use your platform. i don't think, to raise money for their fundraiser. that is what happened. rachel: a lot of people are talking about this which i never go on x anymore but i did yesterday, saw that she was trending. i thought i would find out why. now i know. coming up, our shakeup in north dakota politics as governor doug burnham announces he will not syria can other term. he is jumping in the race, kelly armstrong joins us next. pete: among brian's guests on one nation, eric trump and jay glazer. tuning tonight at 9:00 pm, one nation. ♪ ♪

we are talking to them next. ♪

♪ ♪ ♪

rachel: nearly 1/3 of small business owners are concerned they won't make it through the end of this year the economy being one of their top concerns. the president can't stop talking about bidenomics. >> president biden: the lowest inflation rate of any major economy in the world, the economic growth is stronger than we had during the trump administration. we all do well, it's called bidenomics. we are doing well economically.

rachel: joining us is the owners manual's tavern, and sergio rodriguez, good morning to you both. what do you think about what the president said? does his characterization of the economy match what you are experiencing? >> we don't feel it. we never struggled as hard as we are struggling now. we've got a 70-year-old business. it is tough. it is really tough. he is out there talking about all the good that they are doing and we don't feel it. we feel like we have been forgotten and it is incredibly frustrating. we filed for all the benefit programs available after covid. they employee retention tax credits. we are waiting on that.

it is very frustrating. it hasn't been administered very well. no one seems to care. we 've got all this money going other places. 10% of that helped small business owners in this country. they get a bigger bang for their buck than what they are getting. rachel: small business owners drive the entire economy. you live in new jersey, what an expensive state, how are things going for you? >> one thing we have to understand when we speak about the economy and what's going on is since biden has been in office, inflation has gone up 20%. that's just a fact. who gets affected most by that? small businesses? we deal with the poor and the middle class more than anybody else and it is landing dead smack on us.

rachel: president biden is saying things are going down but they are going down not to the level they used to be. is that what you are feeling? >> correct. you've got to factor in that small businesses deal with insurance. we deal with obviously the cost of goods, wages, to operate the business, all this stuff has gone up so people that would enter our facilities 2 or 3 times a week are only entering the same business one time a week and we are spending more money to keep the business open. rachel: are you experiencing the same thing, if you raise prices you see fewer customers so it's a catch 22. >> we've been forced to raise prices because of the cost of goods.

our customers are experiencing insurance increases, their discretionary spending has been diminished and they are not coming out as often. sergio is on target. >> i want to get an answer from both of you. the economic growth is stronger than we had during the trump administration. if he said that you what would your message be to him? you go first. >> i would tell him he has bad information, someone is giving him bad information. that's not our experience at all. it has never been harder, it's a struggle, the premise of what we are talking about.

in 2024, we've been in business since 1956, we are still fighting, it is difficult, it's a difficult time and uncomfortable time, and the rainy day fund has been spend, it doesn't need to be. a few simple things can be done. rachel: what about you? >> i can make statistics say what i want to fit my narrative. if you were out here, and biden's people out here interviewing small business owners, these are not the answers they can give, they are interviewing the evps of banks because they are not interviewing me. >> people impacted by these brian -- brian and sergio, thanks for joining us.

will: i'm not saying nicotine has no problems. they coming 3 mg. pete: are you 3 or 6? will: just to show discipline. it's an absorption rate. that surprising, not 6 tunnels. >> are you throwing 6 cigarette in your mouth? will: this is an absorption rate. i don't know how much of that you are absorbing of a nicotine pouch. nicotine has benefits and increases focus. i'm not here to sell it. i'm here for reality before an intellectual understanding the. i don't think chuck schumer has. i don't think he has been thoughtful, those who are trying to reduce smoking, it can be highly addictive. will: pete: chuck schumer compares it to vape, in reality this is something, this guy, huge

have menthol or cigarette or coffee, the backlash has been substantial. gun will: the nanny state has gone after things before. in 2011 they wanted to take toys out of happy meals. my kids know, you can get a happy meal but i'm taking the toy and i call it a sad meal because i don't want anymore of this plastic crap from china in my house. that's all it ever is in the happy meal. i have been a personal nanny state in my own home. i am coming for your -- will: michael bloomberg wanted to the size of a sugar drink or soda. pete: things were good in new york because what rudy giuliani came in, bloomberg said hyper tinkering with everything, decided to go after the big one. that was his alamo.
