record-breaking 302,000 migrant encounters in the month of december. nearly 10,000 every day in that month as a standoff between biden and abbott escalates matt fin is live with the very latest. hey, matt. reporter: hi griff texas has now not complied with two biden administration deadlines to reopen this park to federal border patrol agents. the latest deadline was yesterday. that texas did not cooperate with, in fact, the texas state attorney general kim paxton responded in a letter to the federal government writing in part, quote, i respectfully suggest that any time you might spend suing texas should be redirected towards enforcing the immigration laws congress already has on the books. you now claim texas has smowz restricted access to land owned by the federal government yet first demanding letter acknowledge that shelby park is municipality land owned by city of eagle pass not the united states which is it? now u.s. custom and border

protect tells fobs news that border patrol agents don't want to come back to park to tear down razor border wall and border patrol only remove the razor wire on an emergency basis. i asked texas lieutenant govan dan patrick right now if it'd be open to a scenario in which allowed back into the park as long as it didn't touch razor wire and texas doesn't want border agents in here at all. >> we're doing our job and america accounts us to do and what texans want us to do, and i believe enblue state governors want us to do and may not say it but we're doing the job let us do our job and if they want to cut the wire we can replace it right away if they cut down miles of it during the day we'll put miles of it at night we have more wire -- than they have wire cutters. >> griff as you know, the center of this showdown really is this razor wire behind me. texas is not only not removing.

it is installing more of it right now, and it has been basically on a daily basis here inside shelby park, griff. griff: all right matt fin live on the ground in eagle pass doing great work. matt, thank you. aishah. aishah: dig into all of this with constitutional attorney mark smith. mark good to see you. look, the governor here in texas says -- i've got a strong legal case. because a state has a right to defend itself when the federal government refuses to do so. how strong is governor abbott's case? >> yeah. i think governor abbott is in a strong legal footing here because the law as a stands today aishah is that the border is to be protected and you're not allowed into break into illegally and enforcing law it is the president of the united states a his administration that is refusing to follow and enforce the law. so certainly greg abbott has stronger footing and constitutionally greg abbott has

a very strong argument here because the fair argument is literally told you must protect the states from an invasion and greg abbott said there's invasion going on on southern border and experienced 2 million illegal entries into his state alone over the last -- during biden administration he's saying therefore under constitution, article 1 specifically, he has a state is allowed to fort that invasion when the prophet will not do its job that's exactly what's gong on here. aishah: that word invasion, mark, is where people interpret that very, very differently i want to play the sound bite from jonathon great legal and constitutional law expert. because he is saying while -- greg abbott has a great case and a great argument. he's not sure it is going to hold up in court, though. listen to this. >> the problem is that -- federal courts are unlikely to agree that this is the invasion referenced in the constitution. i think texas is going to have a

hard time making that constitutional argument in court. keep in mind, on this fight -- the federal government has a upper hand legally. >> yeah so mark how does greg abbott and the state of texas argue that had is the invasion that the constitution talks about it? >> we have a constitutional republic here we don't have a monarchy the reason why that's important who decides what constitutes invasion really is an interesting question. jonathon turley is talking about courts but it doesn't necessarily have to be the courts making the final decision that in invasion is incuring. states have independent sovereignty could be the federal government so i think there's a very strong livelihood that courts may punt in the name of what's known as the political request doctrine is this is really a political question that needs to be fought out among our elected officials at the state level and frat level. i think they may just say look we're the courts and we're get our handle off this and let the

political process play out. and let texas fight it out with congress -- and the biden administration and so on and so on. again who defines invasion is important question here aishah as what is an invasion. aishah: i want to move on to what happened in a new york city court former president trump ordered an stunning move by a judge there -- ordered to pay a whopping $83 million in damages to eugene carroll it is stunning and crazy when you think about it because she -- at first started with $10 million. this is a huge drastic difference and, obviously, this was to send a message, right? >> yeah. i think there's a couple of ways to look at this really large verdict in president trump. the first one is -- was the process in and of itself fair? i think with this kind of number, that is really exceeded what carroll was asking for is strike the conscienceness over

the top and i think that judge kaplan will protect verdicts himself and cult back the number dramatically to make sure verdict survives appeal. so there's another level aishah which is appearance of fairness the justice system is not just making sure the process in and of itself is fair but appears fair to the american public. so people feel that they can trust the outcome of the processes and i have to say, that a number like this coming out of a blue city, blue state jurisdiction like new york city, against donald trump -- who no one in the blue state seems to like donald trump i think we can agree on that politically i think it is going to really play into donald trump's hands that he's being sort of prosecuted because he's a conservative republican candidate for the white house in these blue cities like atlanta. like washington, d.c., and like, of course, new york city so in some ways the as no, ma'am astronomical verdict will show people in blue cities and states are willing to do anything to

punish donald trump for just about anything. aishah: absolutely it would help him politically but appeal if the judge goes back and changes it. that would be a surprise to see mark smith thanks for joining us as always thank you for sharing your legal thoughtings. we appreciate it. have a good weekend. griff: president biden vowing by a bipartisan bill being negotiated in the senate. but speak or johnson says legislation would be dead on arrival in the house. lucas tomlinson live outside the white house with the very latest. hey, lucas. >> speaking to the house in the last hour on your program you had tony gonzalez from texas from the house he says he wants to turn back the clock when it comes to the southern border. >> what i need from the biden administration is one thing if i need them to deport illegally those by the thousands just like trump did and obama did and president bush and clinton.

that's what he needs to do. >> border plan that one page summary this time around griff. a mandatory detention of single adults mandatory shutdown of border once daily encounters hits 5,000. the shutdown would not lift until daily encounters reduced to less than 3750 encounters per day. and complete summary this will be 150,000 migrants allowed to enter the country per month that's 1.8 million per year. about the size of phoenix now president biden reacting to this senate plans saying, quote, for too long we know border has been broken and long pass tile to fix it what's been negotiated would if passed into the law could be toughest set of reforms secure the border we've ever had in our country and give me as a president a new miranda emergeny authority to shut down the border when overwhelmed and here's robert f. kennedy jr.. >> we need people --

are waiting in line. we need to actually make it humane and quick for them. and we need to seal the border altogether. it is observed as 5,000 people a week is -- is acceptable. and there's -- in the past. >> now president biden departing this afternoon for south carolina where he'll be on the ballot next week for the democratic primary, of course, he skipped the iowa caucuses and new hampshire primary. states where he finished fourth and fifth respectively back in 2020, griff. griff: lucas tomlinson live from the north lawn. lucas, thank you for more on border all things politics, lets bring in our political panel with us today executive director of fate and freedom coalition, tim head and democratic strategist christian hahn. let's get right into this senate bill. we don't know all of the details and, of course, devil is in the details. but let me start with you, tim.

does this a good deal on the one hand, in thes are willing to negotiate, on the other hand it's after 5,000 then they kick in the authority as if aishah pointed out 4099 was okay every day? >> that's right. the reality is that, that this is going to be a political football probably for the next 12 months and potentially going further it is also a bit of a farce i think for the white house to say desperately trying to fix a problem and completely wash their hands of the problem for the last two and a half three years. i think this bill is -- is a half step maybe you could say in the right direction but we actually, you know, need to see quite a bit more. >> kristin already former president trump trying to torpedo and johnson said dead on arrival but to tim's point where democrats negotiating in good faith because they care about a secure border? because they care about the crisis that joe biden won't call it that.

that's happen nothing our southern border or is it because the polls are showing in places like new hampshire of all places that immigration is top of mind of voters? >> i think, i mean, yes. i think they're negotiating good faith and you've got serious legislators in the senate on both sides of the aisle. who are coming together to really truly rye to work with the white house to get something done. this issue is going to be fought with mr. speakers but there's a moment in time here -- you have people like senator sinema now independent who has been working with the both sides to get stuff done and you say members of the house are talking about eve this their border bill hr2, this negotiation in the senate, you know, if you come over illegally there are consequences. much stricter consequences than there are in hr2. so you know, it baffles mind i think everybody needs to be more honest and when the president is putting on social and saying don't take this deal we need everything -- you know, i don't think that's being really i think that's

being political as well. so everybody needs to recognize that there's an opportunity here to do something. and that clearly needs to get done. griff: tim you want to respond to that? >> well, you know ironically we have faith and treatment coalition worked with president trump and in 2018 and '19 leading up to a solution that was about to be proposed when we had all kinds of -- problems and early 2020 i'll say that, we know that there's an appetite to actually fix this. not just political talking points but to truly fix these problems or at least significantly and to prioritize human suffering not only american suffering but those that are immigrating over kind of political back and forth and we actually think that there is an appetite to do just that. but we need the posturing to really kind of -- pull back significantly at this point. >> we'll see where it goes let

me shift gears a little bit guys because whenever i go to the grocery store, go out to restaurants, and i talk to people across the country, it is not the border always or the economy. they're talking about the middle acuity of both candidates. here's a little sample of what we have seen. watch this. >> by the way, used to make -- by the way, used to make beer brewed here. it is used to make brew beer here -- from the great lakes i wonder -- >> nikki haley is in charge of security we offered her 10,000 people soldiers whatever they want, they turned it down. griff: i have no idea who earth writer is or why former president trump is confusing nikki haley with nancy pelosi but kristin let's start with you it is getting worse on the campaign trail for joe biden how

much of an issue is it going into this campaign? >> i think he's had to deal with it head on both need to head on they are getting older. i think president biden is really -- leaning into running on his record and who he is as a person and how he's represented us -- you know, across the world. but yes it is a political liability for both for both men. >> do you agree tim? or do you as many critics of joe biden have said that joe biden is far worse than trump and perhaps that was a misslip? >> well in all candor, we actually really don't take any interest in piling on to president biden, i think that, you know, we're three years into this. there are five or six incidents a day it is not just kind of one per speech but it's dozens per week hundreds per month, and you know, so our desire is really not only clear communication but also good policy. and then for that policy to be by the administration it is

clear that -- you know that president bide is struggling but our policy with him really has more to do with the vision and execution for his policy agenda more so than his own kind of -- mental. >> both candidates heading to all candidates i should say heading to the low country south carolina, it is nevada first but then south carolina. former -- president biden is going there i believe today. so we'll find out where all of this goes tim head kristin hahn, thank you so much if your insights. >> thank you. aishah: nobody talks about nevada as much. vince mcmahon executive chairman of the tko group holdings founder of wwe how res designed after former employee filed a lawsuit against him on thursday that accusing him of sexual abuse and trafficking. christina coleman is here now with the latest on this. christina. reporter: hi aishah yeah attorneys for former wwe

why do we need to care about this island nation when we are not even want our president is not willing to say it needs to be an independent nation? >> we have to care about ukraine. got to care about the middle east. we've got to care about avoiding war in asia. that is the challenge of being the indispensable nation we are as the united states of america. it will be easier to say to leave the rest of the world to its over that's how it got to world war i, that's about to world war two and we are trying to avoid a world war iii. right now, until they are able to provide their own defense in the middle east, our mission is to clear their camp and allow expansion of the work you're watching us count down the houthis rebels. and send messages. and that message to beijing is let's it maintain the status quo of the 21st century should be peaceful and prosperous for everyone in that region. that is what we have to pay

attention to taiwan. it's not about instigating a war it's about avoiding a warburg practice making them a porcupine so you can defend them in that way. and hopefully prevent like you said prevent china from even trying anything. congressman, thank you so much for joining us in studio. it's so glad to have you in your know you are jetlagged we so appreciate your perspective that you brought just fresh back from taiwan, we appreciate it. griff: coming up, how the cia is recruiting russian nationals for spy missions. that is next. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein.
