shannon: hello from foxnews in washington for its stunning numbers for the month of december arrived in a friday afternoon news op customs and border patrol protection confirming the u.s. southern border saw more than 302,000 migrant encounters. breaking the record previously set in september and marking the first time that number has surpassed the 300,000 mark. the hot button election your topic comes as house republicans move forward with the impeachment dhs secretary mayorkas. fox news can report this morning there will be two articles of impeachment laid out by the house homeland security committee set to be marked up this week. the first will focus on gop accusations at secretary mayorkas willfully and systematically refused to comply with the law. the second article argues secretary mayorkas has a breach of public trust making false statements obstructed oversight of the department of home and security.

in a moment will speak with a gop lead negotiator on the board oklahoma senator james lankford and florida republican senator rick scott who is opposed of what he knows of the deal so far first return to fox news correspondent matt finn live from the southern border the standoff between texas officials and the federal government eats up. hello matt. >> hi shanno shana, shelby parki am standing has been where the hottest spots for illegal immigrants anywhere on the southern border it was just last month up to 4000 migrants a day were illegally crossing right here. texas got so fed up it kicked out the bite administration and took the border battle into its own hands. next texas is not giving into the biden administration's demands that it allows u.s. border patrol back into shelby park after governor abbott kicked out biden's border agents three weeks ago. texas attorney general ken paxton fired back with demands

of his own asking the bite administration to prove it has any ownership over the park which texas insists it has the constitutional right to seize it. >> we are saying hey show up and give us the information that demonstrates that you are correct and i doubt they will be able to do that for. >> at the heart of the dispute texas does not want the federal government removing it to growing a razor wire barrier that serving as a border wall. u.s. customs and border protection says a border patrol does not want to rip down the wire. rather cut it only in emergencies. writing border patrol has no plans to remove infrastructure placed bite texas along the border. our posture remains the same if we need to access an area for emergency response we will do so. paxton tells fox he would be open to cutting wire someone's life is in danger but texas resounding message has been it does not want biden's border agents back in the park. >> why do they need to be here

they don't have in a border patrol people anyway. we have got it covered. mr. president, mr. president you say you want to secure the border. texas has secured it leave it alone. >> meanwhile in washington the senate is trying to hammer out a bipartisan immigration bill paxton says republicans should not approve a biden plan that allows for any illegal crossings. >> why do you want to put a rubber stamp with the bite administration is doing that is effectively with th republicanso be doing? i am absolutely opposes it is a bad idea. >> president biden says if the senate is serious about passing the bipartisan border bill it will sign it. shannon: matt finn live at the southern border thank you very much for joining us out oklahoma republican senator the gop lead negotiator on this potential board illness senate james lankford. senator welcome back "fox news sunday." >> thank you, good morning to you. shannon: you hear about a month ago he said a you said you're gg

clare getting closethen you're . let's talk about the rumors and give you a chance to respond to some the critics who said they do not like what they know of this deal. there's something akin to up title 42 power that would allow everyone at the border to be turned away. once there was a rolling average over a week of 5000 people showing up. >> this bill normalizes 5000 people a day coming in. 5000 people a day is over 1.8 million a year. that is called an invasion by the way under joe biden we have had 9.6 million so the great republican compromise is we are for two thirds of joe biden's open borders. we will let in 6 million instead of 9 million. this makes utterly no sense. shannon: is that part of the deal and how would you convince someone like senator cruz to vote for? what's a challenge senator cruz having a bunch of folks as they are still waiting to be able to read the bill on this this is

been our great challenge of being able to fight to the final words of the bill text out so people can hear right now there's internet rumors as all people are running on it will be absolutely absurd for me too agree to 5000 people a day. this bill focuses on getting us to zero illegal crossings a day there is no amnesty increases the number border patrol agents it increases asylum officers detention beds so we can quickly detain and deport individuals it ends a catch and release it focuses on additional deportation flights out. it changes our asylum process of people and get a fast asylum screening at a higher standard and get returned back to their home country this is not about letting 5000 people in a day this is the most misunderstood section of this proposal and let me tell you briefly what it is. in the last four months we have had seven days in four months we have had seven days with less than 5000 people this is set up if you have a rush of people

coming at the border of the border closes down know when it gets in this is not someone standing at the border with the clickers thing i'm going to let one more and we are 4009 or 99 and then it has to stop it is a shutdown of the border and everyone gets turned around that is the focus that we have right now is how do we intervene in this administration in turn people around and not let people in? shannon: there may be initial measurement get that rolling 5000 a week at zero from that point on but there is some initial measurement. our bill illusion is reporting that number with thou back to about 3750 a day at the border. once you hit that for two weeks the gates would open again. can you confirm or deny that? >> again it's not gates opening there's a misunderstanding the bill itself it's how many can we process and deport? when you raise the standard people coming across you deportation flights you are not letting people and people are thinking by how the biden ministration is writing it now

but right now the bite administration is allowing for instance 1500 people a day to come to the ports of entry. to get a work permit and get released in the country. people come in between ports of entry get a notice to appear get released in the country all of that stops we are focused on how many people can we process quickly and then deport out of the country not release into the country it would be absolutely absurd for anyone to propose something to say we are just going to slow the number of releases. refocus on how do we actually enforce our border and get us back to zero people crossing the border illegally every administration has struggled to be able to get the authorities in place to be able to enforce our border. let's put in place. shannon: the senate has addressed this to you have said you want to set the bar higher for getting in on the silent you say a lot of people will not make it through the initial screening process they will be immediately turned away. his concern is for the people who do make it through that right now they have to weight 180 days for a work permit he

said now that period would go away, people would get work permits immediately turning up the electromagnet to bring people into this country. >> are two different ways you couldn't work permits if you come to a port of entry or another bite administration is giving a work permit the first they walk across the border you do not supply for us i would be to have to qualify for anything he's literate show up, tell us your name you are in the country they're asking to tell us in advance you are coming that is their only limitation on it. the second group is people apply for asylum they don't qualify for asylum they just apply for if they apply for it 180 days to get a work permit these are the folks that are driving all of the blue cities crazy because they are wandering around these different cities. we end up both of those to make sure the only people that are getting the work permit coming to this process are the people gone through a strenuous evaluation for it up and evaluate are likely to end up with asylum. those are the individuals they are most likely going to stay here. that is a fraction of the people who go to the process for the

vast majority people that actually go to this process will be turned around and be deported. we are still the united states of america we are open to legal immigration in the process and people are legally going to the process and they qualify they come to the bedding and such, yes we will still continue to have those work permits but we are stopping the three work permit pass out at the board if you sign up and give us your name will get a work permit those just end. shannon: president biden spoke about this last night on a campaign rally. he said essentially the bill were allowed to their shut down the border right out and fix the whole thing. a lot of republicans are saying he has things he could use our executive powers and laws are not being enforced. so why give him this and an election-year question at the cover of this deal critics say so but a lot of other people and but he could to take a victory lap that he is gotten something done. what is simply not going to let people in its focus on people turning around for it is

interesting republicans four months ago would not get funding for ukraine for israel in far southern border because we demanded changes in policy. we actually locked arms together said were not going to give you money for this you want a change in law. now it's interesting a few months later, just kidding i don't to change a lot because a presidential election year. wwe'll have an oath to the constitution we have a commitment to say were going to do whatever he can to be able to secure the board approved just as a quick for instance a last folastfour months with 50 peopls the border on the terror watch list, 50. tens of thousands of people declared by this administration on national security risk that came across our border and were releaswillrelease it is a constl obligation to be able to secure our country as fast as we can secure our country this puts in mandatory pieces that have not been there in the past to make this administration enforce the law. i would tell you i do not know of anyone who believes if president trump was elected if he was president right now this

board border would not have this problem. the thought somehow president biden can be the pro- national security president and the final months of this is not believable. i've had millions of people illegally cross because he opened up our border he literally invited the world to come and they came that us but we have the chaos. we got to do something now to be able to stop it put new tools in the trump administration was looking for when they were present with those tools in place for every president from here on out. shannon: under lankford keep us up-to-date on the text. during the south florida republican senate rick scott welcome back to "fox news sunday." you heard the explanation from your colleague who by all accounts is a well-respected person on capitol hill within the senate. he talks about the last few months the terror watch people that have come to the special-interest aliens comes on back of this letter from a number of former fbi executives warning congression congressions send this, it would be difficult to overstate the danger

represented by the presence inside our border with what is comparatively a multi- division army of young single adult males from hostile nations per the country has been invaded an invasion that will continue as s function nations enemies perceive it will be tolerated. do you agree with that assessment and if so why not take something i would stop some of the traffic sooner rather than later? >> first james is smart, he is hard-working, he knows the issue. he is on a suicide mission. the democrats do not want to secure the border but i am a business guide never did a business deal where the other guy did not have the same goal i did per democrats do not want to control the border. number two the border could be secure we have a lawless administration. completely lawless a biden administration. the only way this is going to happen is if we have accountability that forces bided to enforce the law we can change all of these laws. there are laws in out trip

secure the border, i decided to open the border with the exact same flaws we don't need a new bill we need something to force biden to comply with the law. and chances are the bestie can to try to explain the bill that unfortunately i don't know why they don't share with us. i would rather be for something but we don't get anything but we do know biden is a lawless he does notice through the border. the democrats to want to secure the border mcconnell was told lankford he cannot put accountability measures in their two required biden to secure the border today he said that will not happen. shannon: what about the issue if you have this rolling number when you hit 5000 which will happen very quickly of the sport it would be mandatory the border closes down is that not some measure of accountability that would at least stop the flow temporarily until we maybe have a reelection or different president? >> biting could do that today why doesn't he do it today?

he does not need any of this to secure the border trump secure the border with the exact same laws. unless there is some accountability measure the forces bided to secure the border tied to ukraine aid and something else unless or something like that biden is not going to comply with the office important for them to comply with the law he would do it right now. if we cannot force biden to secure the border we need to shut the border today. i can type everybody in florida iwe love immigration legal immigration drugs we don't win human traffickers we don't want criminals we don't terrorists. it needs to be done today and the only way it's going to happen as we get a bill that forces biden to do it. we have been told mcconnell will not allow james at language of put in the bill he's not in the bill. >> you have done negotiations before you note this is like until that deal is done this is a lot of tenuous back-and-forth hopefully we see the text we all

will soon. went to ask about the accusation you guys don't want to get a bill done for it "washington post" said this democrats are often something republicans have wanted for years about dear leader trump says no and sadly gop senators are afraid to say yes. how much of your objection is based on the former president's objection to this bill, that he has not seen either? or excuse are relevant to the conversation he is not in office. and by the way you talk to president trump he has never asked me to oppose something. but the american voters are in the same position trump us and in the same position i am in. we need to secure the border today the only way you can do that with a lawless administration is you have to make them do it. you have to tie it to something. what i don't get as mitch mcconnis mitchmcconnell does noo that is the most important thing we want out of this bill we've got to be very careful we do not codified biden's open policies

and we don't hamstring trump whtrumpwhen he wins the preside. if you do not want to secure the border today do not blame it on trump you don't care what the voters think is not what trump thanks it's the voters want a secure border today. shannon: before you go i want to ask about a case you have some involvement with. this is a government contractor who worked to get irs records and leak them including for president trump of thousands of other people you have said in the letter to the attorney general we were impacted by this tune you do nothing the geo to testing it seriously enough. the wall street journal said this mental be sentenced tomorrow but mr. littlejohn does not dispute he stole the attackers to give the file to the "new york times" progressive website pro public up his lawyers decided the american public had a right to know the presidents tax information. will you be at that sentencing tomorrow? what would you like to see? looks i am going to be there. he released my tax return he

intentionally took the job to releatrulystrums tax return. he did over 7500 people he is going to plead guilty to one case. this is an example of the justice department oh if you do something against republicans who cares if yo heavy-duty goods democrats that's bad i could do it against republicans will do it give you a slap on the wrist progress will follow that case senator scott thank you for your time. >> thanks. shannon: up next move more republicans line up behind the former president nikki haley rakes in the cash after president trump registered those who donate to her campaign. we will see if she has a genuine path forward. that is next.

shannon: in both the president biden former president trump crews to victories in new hampshire. now the eyes of 2024 campaign shift toward the south carolina primary gop will vote february 24 but the democrats moved up their primate date to this coming saturday. fox news white house correspondent peter doocy joins us live from south carolina where the president is traveling to rally support ahead of the boat. >> south carolina and sav savede president biden in 2020. he was as low as primary candidates get but limped in here and then one. now he's hoping to use the state's diverse primary base as a springboard for a second term. >> if i were smart i would say thank you and leave because he

stayed with a pitch to south carolina's black democratic primary voters. >> more black americans have health insurance than ever in history. promise me and a promise cap to >> biting and rnc chair believed novembers gop nominee will be donald trump regards i'm look at the mouth on the path going forward. i don't see it for it nikki haley progress haley, not happy for clay let her know how disappointed i was for. >> the resolution was floated and pulled this week to declare trump the party's presumptive nominee. meanwhile trump is now taking incoming from haley and president biden or the same thing. charge of capitol security. >> needs a little confused these days for. >> i think think is a bit conf. we apparently cannot tell the difference between nikki haley and nancy pelosi to correct trump and sissy's good. >> i'll tell you what i feel

sharper now than i did 20 years ago i don't know it's probably not true bricks trump remains the democrats top target. >> you are the reason donald trump is a loser. and you are the reason we are going to win and beat them again. >> we did not o are present by d say nikki haley's name once last night even here in his home -- in her home state. his campaign speech has been retooled it's now being a road tested the really, really firing lines have nothing to do with anything biden did an office or do they second term they are all about trump. shannon: alright peter doocy live in south carolina thank you so much. it is time now for the sunday group usa today white house correspondent francesca chambers of fox news and political analyst juan williams. big heritage foundation president kevin roberts for the hilt national potable reporter juliet manchester. have you or com recover from iod new hampshire. [laughter] it's good to see all of you here

but now we are on to a southern warmer sunnier place. here's where we are nikki haley reacting to this huge verdict against president trump on friday making this point she said he wants to be the presumptive republican nominee we're talking $83 million in damages not talk about fixing the board are not talking about tackling inflation american dude can do better than donald trump and joe by the white house's got to love this all of the scene be moving on to the general they are going to enjoy the infighting. >> strategy at this point is to focus on donald trump they do believe he will be the nominee so they are using the runway right now to go ahead and focus on who they believe will be their opponent. nikki haley making those comments she touched on this last night in south carolina as well she said russia, china, ironic got to love this as well this is going to be a distraction for him if he is still in the legal battles and wins the presidency but haley's not going for the knockout punch against donald trump. she's got 1 foot in and 1 foot

out of this attack trump strategy part of the reason is if you look at the fox survey of voters in new hampshire nearly two thirds of them, do not think trump did anything wrong here but she has got to find a way to start cutting into hurt his votes with rural voters heading into south carolina boost her support among suburban voters if she want to have a chance regards trailing by double digits well into them and the south carolina. president trump react in social media as well saying in part our legal system is out of control being used as a political weapon. they have taken away all first amendment rights, this is not america. juan, you and i talk to voters of these last two states and they said that is the reason they are rallying to him. this is work for him? >> that works with the base. it works with a maga base. it seems there's nothing that will deter them from supporting the former president. there's also a reality as we learned in iowa and new hampshire you get a tremendous number of independents and even some republicans who say they

will not vote for donald trump it's kind of odd because as we just pointed out he won both states. the fact is a 35% of republicans i see here in my notes, and new hampshire said they will not vote for trump if he is the parties nominee. 58% of independents in new hampshire, 55% in iowa voted against trump. so when independent suburban moms here a jury found him liable for sexual assault it introduces some of what nikki haley is talking about in her message there is an unhinged sense of chaos and trouble that follows donald trump. shannon: that's another thing heard from haley voters in the early sakes i was the attraction to him even if they like him and his policies but they like her offering what she says is that chaos a free option. wall street journal had an opinion piece in the last day or

two that talks about nikki haley going for broke say she should stay in this race this is the advice coming from a veteran speechwriter and a man about washington he says this admit you're not as entertaining or exciting as he is but that is okay you are not running to entertain but to lead a rabid squirrel in the chemistry lab is exciting to watch but can do a lot of damage. kevin does she make the rabid squirrel argument? what does the ridiculous arguments. and even this morning nikki haley is not going to deliver a knockout punch on president trump and you know why? it has nothing to do squirrels in a caged it is evident due to the fact people recognize these cases, all of them all of these legal cases are illegitimate and president trump us focus on what the people care about. securing the border, addressing the economy and public safety until and unless ambassador haley and the radical left and president biden wrap their heads around that. president trump will continue to

lead and every single pole that's come out. p6 we see israel as we saw another last night where he is talking about all these things and making the case that really isn't he has moved on to the general as well. very interesting piece in the new yorker magazine talked with a woman who was a big supporter of trump in 2016 per she really soured with january 6 and some of the things that happen she said she did not want him to run she's not going to vote for them but we know where we are primary she had a choice to make the headline is trump haters turned trump of voters where they giving him a second chance? she said this with all the since the background more than anything she did not want another four years of democratic control of the white house. so rogelio will there be those who have somehow broken with president trump saying i'm never going to vote for him will there be more that match this woman's thought of its him and buy them to do it again? works absently but there's also a group of voters look at trump versus biden single we have been given this awful choice of these two men once again in 2020.

i think 2020 was a very traumatic year for the country in the world for many reasons. but also it was a very ugl election year end this harkens back to it. i think that is why there's so much interest in a third party now do i think a third party nominee is going to win the presidency? likely not however i think there is polling that would suggest there's interest in that that's why they are gravitating to that. shannon: one of the leaders of no label third party said that billy kept her i would new hampshire there a they're more o run a third-party so we will cpanel do not go far that is it for now cap next will go back to our top story the crisis at the border without breaking details about the articles of impeachment drafted by the house homeland security committee against dhs secretary mayorkas got a copy in my hands will get reaction from house foreign affairs chai

shannon: you are looking at live pictures in eagle pass, texas as the border area it much under dispute right up tensions ramping up this week between texas governor greg abbott and the white house over the administration's response there at the southern border. and now after multiple hearings over dereliction of duty's house republicans are set to move forward with articles of impeachment even though it's a house white vote to actually impeach dhs secretary mayorkas to join me now to discuss texas are public and congressmen michael mccaul welcome back to

fox news send a bit like or have me. shannon: the two articles of impeachment willful systemic refusal to comply with the law and a breach of the public trust. now is he just a messenger carrying out the policy for the administration why go after him when this may go nowhere in the senate? what's he knows better. i wasn't homeland security jeh johnson was a deputy he was the u.s. attorney and los angeles. he knows better this is not by accident this is by design icon the architects of destruction. 8 million encounters, 300 on the terror watch list. 200 million people dead now thanks to fentanyl poisoning this one man is responsible for breed that is a dereliction of duty. we looked at the founding fathers feared they did not have a lot of federal criminal statutes and breach of the public trust. it is sufficient to impeach. and i think it is important that we respond to the american

people. shannon: here's a response from democratic congressman was on fox yesterday here's what he said. >> impeachment is grossly inappropriate for policy differences republicans are serious about border policy then let's engage on the bipartisan border policy bill. impeach in the secretary mayorkas' admission by the gop in the house they don't have a plan they have anger. shannon: they're angry. >> yes, my constituents are angry i just got back from texas. i was down at the border. it's the worst it has ever been. the detention spaces are overflowing again their notice to appear and lead into our society it is unsustainable and it is causing district the founding fathers said this is the greatest injury i think i have seen. it was because of the change in policy by executive fiat and changing executive orders from the previous administration. i love the fact we are going to try to do legislation. but the fact is president biden

could change this tomorrow if you would just change the executive orders they did on day one, remain in mexico came out of my committee it says you are detained but you remain in mexico a pit pending the adjudication of a sound therefore catch and release is over. and it is stopped it secure the border. this president could do the same thing but he chooses not too. shannon: quickly up the senate bill comes together but the house will the house of vote onn some measure for ukrainian aid is not attached to the border or doesn't happydoes it have to par you? >> that is going back and forth. that's kind of a leadership question i could see it tied to israel and endo pacific. my thoughts in ukraine we cannot abandon our allies and surrender to putin in ukraine like we did in afghanistan. shannon: maybe border spots apart from most potentially? >> that seems to me the way things are currently.

i do not know if the senate version is going to be sufficient in the house. i do not know of speaker johnson will put on the floor unless it has significant policy changes like the one i'm talking about. shannon: we do not have the texture we will see. let's talk about this given a foreign-policy connection as well. that un agency we fund it to the tune of billions of dollars with u.s. funds is supposed to help people within the gaza strip and beyond there are accusations several of the employees were directly involved in that in the massacres he terror attacks on october 7. the countries have suspended venting to them. there has long been a history of questions and problems about their activity how do we get aid to people in the region who desperately need it? and also decide how were going to hold the agency accountable. what you do it through other like the world food program and others the united nations relief agency the previous administration he trump administration cut off funding

for a reason just for this reason. the idea was supplying harboring a weapons to assist with hamas invasion of israel. those are the allegations that have come out of israel we are investigating but if true think how outrageous that is we have reporting that unrwa is using money to give aid to hamas that is why i've advocated to cut that funding the administration finally put a pause on it just a couple days ago. they are going to testify before my committee and we are going to get some answers. coso foreign policy issue bipartisan group of house members wrote a letter to the president friday about the strikes on the houthis targets but all this going on in the red sea they say this they believe that u.s. unauthorized rights in yemen violated the constitution. the authorization from congress they say it is up to congress debating putting u.s. troop, u.s. dollars in length attacks like these where are you on

this? >> this goes back to the authorization of military force my committee would pass this. right now using article to self-defense. they have shut down the red sea. in a shipping going through there so inflation, energy. the bottom line is to some extent i agree congress should authorize. but i would authorize. in fact my proposal we authorized use of force -- not i run itself but the proxies of our iran is what has changed since 911 for the houthis rebels are causing so much destruction and the projection of weakness this administration has. whether it be with russia, china, and the ayatollah has brought this on. shannon: will see if the white house has come to on this. mr. chairman always good to see if things are coming in. joining us now at nato secretary general jens stoltenberg welcome

to "fox news sunday" as we container international affairs conversations than good to have you. >> thanks for having me go tubing on chinless describes a large smelter exercise since the cold war pretends of thousands of troops, tons of countries, airpower, ships out there. as we are looking at what's happening in the middle east china points to you guys and says you are the reason things are unstable you are at walking war machine, it made it was everywhere he goes what's your message to china and the broader message you hope to communicate to this exercise? the purpose is to preserve peace to prevent war. this exercise is to demonstrate our strengths and how it north america it could work together not to provoke a conflict but prevent a conflict as a native of denver 75 years. peace in europe is it because we stand together north america. >> i would imagine part of the messaging is for russia as well. putin said early on part of his

problem in this incursion this war with ukraine as he did not want nato to expand it looks like sweden is not going to join if the objections from hungary are out of the waiver atta way k with sweden's defense minister about this a few weeks ago. >> i said this swedish membership is the mother of all unintended consequences for russian thinking. russia did not see sweden or finland would join the alliance this was not planned. but that is of course a consequence. shannon: not a consequence russia once. you have any thoughts about whether they may see this as a provocation? there may be a reaction from putin once we have officially joined. >> president putin is in the exact opposite of what they wanted but he went at less nato he is getting more nato. he's getting more nato troops as part of the alliance in the baltic region and poland. he's also getting two new nato members finland has joined. and now it sweden will become a member this is not a provocation

this is a way for nato allies to stand together and have two more allies we are in a more dangerous word because putin has used force has invaded another country, ukraine therefore these countries have decided to join and we welcome them. but you also talked about a path for ukraine to join nato as well. do you worry given putin, given his actions at once native does joyed i once ukraine enjoys nato the rest of the task force is going to be potentially drawn into a military or with putin? >> again we have done so successfully. i am from norway and norway is bordering russia and the soviet union. that was a provocation when nora became a member it was a provocation it's the right of every sovereign nation to choose their path that is a right norway has, sweden and finland

have and also ukraine. it is important putin does not get his way in ukraine that will embolden other authoritarian powers today is ukraine tomorrow it may be taiwan it's a good deal for us, for the united states to support ukraine and invite them to be a helpful member of the alliance because you've heard throughout our show ukraine come with the funding for the u.s. is tied up with a big dispute over our border and other political issues you are going to move a lot of defense officials and lawmakers on the hill what were your message be to them but ukraine funding from the u.s.? >> first of all he understand the board issue is important it's important in the united states as other allies there's advice on exactly to deal with border issues. what matters is ukraine gets a continued support. because we need to realize this is closely watched in beijing. it's not only making europe more

vulnerable but all of us, also of the united states more vulnerable. if putin gets what he wants in ukraine. this is actually a good deal. by using a fraction of the u.s. defense budget we have been able to destroy and degrade the russian army substantially. and therefore we should continue to do so knowing much of this is spent in the united states we bite u.s. weapons to support ukraine this secures jobs in america and makes us all safer. shannon: will see hundred meetings go up mr. secretary general thank you for stopping and good to see you. up next to bite administration makes a move on america's energy sector that critics say is going to hurt our economy maybe even our national security but climate activists say this is long overdue our sunday pedal debates the file out

lower cost for american famines including energy cost. recognizes climate crisis for what it is. the existenial thread of our time. it is a threat a serious threat. shannon: bided following his decision to place a freeze on all approvals for liquefied natural gas export projects. we are back with the panel now to talk about this for the walter journal editorial board does not love this idea saying this. the administration hope it's climate gestural boosts the presence flagging political support among young people. who cares about the real world impact of the signal to allies and adversaries the u.s. is not a reliable partner. they say it was a tiktok influencer on the claimant went

to the white house and partially convince them to do this. >> i find that highly dubious but possible because tiktok is an influence. this message according to the wall street journal is aimed at young voters who are concerned with climate change. i think we have to put this in some kind of texted bite administration does not talk about it but oil production, liquid and national gas production under this demonstration is at record highs the united states is setting records as the number one producer of oil and liquid natural gas in the world. biden is also saying i think you sing it to that young voter cohort that we care about climate change, the united states obviously the wall street journal and business community will say wait a second period if we have liquid national gas and other countries demand why not give it to them? the response is in cases of unanticipated emergencies, nationnational security we willl with them. theithey're very intense in this political year of sending a

political message request senator jack reed a democrat said this is good news for american consumers that will increase the supply of domestic natural gas which would create downward pressure for american suit heat their homes and power their businesses. >> is important right now in the economy with americans not feeling or saying they're not feeling the effects of the booming economy. but two wands appoints and that discussion on the politics of this is definitely a way for the bite administration to galvanize that young voter base. that is a part of this coalition that biden relied on to get elected in 2020 and many democrats rely on that are breaking from him but i think it is very serious. but we are seeing in the polls there breaking from him up issues like the environment, the war in gaza and israel. this is something the biden administration is trying to reach across to those voters to galvanize them. we don't know if it will work yet there's obviously a number of issues the trump campaign going on the offensive against this.

i am curious to see how this will work with more independent voters. shannon: your talk by the economic tight end because all of our considerations or daily life people are feeling it is as good as on the fourth quarter which all americans should be celebrating the american prospect is this a warning saying it's a mistake to keep harping on how great the economy is since it is only marginally better for most working families. what biden needs to do make the election future oriented and talk about how much more needs to be done, could it be done in a second biden term. they are not walking away he is still harping on this on the trail. >> it is very bizarre the policy as you might imagine coming from the heritage foundation has involved but politically it is bizarre and for that matter a component of this decision is bizarre. number one it does not help. 2.3 billion people still living in poverty in the world the best way they can get out of that is but access to natural gas were they doing instead? they are using coal for aids russia the third thing is this ties into the question about the

economy as this is retribution that we are living at a time when most of the commentary by media, not you, are focused on retribution by president trump rate this as retribution for texas, god bless texas for standing up for the border. that is what americans realize is about the border, it's about economy, it's about public safety the more president biden does this thing the less likely it will be that he will be reelected but. shannon: i heard this allegation texas has three locations for the liquefied natural gas this is something to do with the border that people will play politics in washington is taking it away i'm sure were stunned by that. it's just an allegation but back to the economic issue pew research hasn't pulsing economic ratings mean far less they remain far less positive than before the pandemic and they go on to say it more americans more economic conditions will be worse a year from now them better that's tough in her election year. >> actually last night a south carolina president biden did not use the word instead he checked with the 1400-dollar checks that

his administration through pandemic assistant center people $300 for children so he was talking about tangible things that americans could hold in their hands versus some of these roads and bridges and things that we are not connecting with voters. but it's not helping his numbers. >> consumer confidence is rising. >> it is but it's not helping his poll numbers. >> is at peak at times? the fact is the stock market is unbelievable right now. shannon: again people are buying groceries, gas, all these things is a daily measurement for them. so we will see where it gets too in november of this year. panel, thank you very much we will see you next sen sunday fop next fox news foreign correspondent trey yingst joins us live from israel with more on the shocking allegations and employee of un agencies supportd with your u.s. tax dollars were directly involved in the octobev
