washington. happy mardi gras. i have a major announcement and i will make it later in the show. you don't want to miss it so make sure to stick around. plus, we are monitoring s the house will make a second attempt to up impeach alejandro mayorkas, they dhs secretary and we will bring you the details as it unfolds. but first the tiktok on joe, that is the focus of tonight's "angle." now, we are supposed to believe that the biden family money all from chinese business deals including the big energy interest was all on the up and up. it had zero to do with china's influence through the former vp and perhaps at the time future president joe biden. of course, this requires us to suspend all critical thinking. first, we all know if eric trump getting millions in fees and a communist regime, the press would not stop until someone was in jail. second, we have to believe the chinese are so stupid that they

would just fork over millions of dollars just to get the vast wisdom and advice from this guy? >> [bleep] [indistinct] my computer -- [indistinct] you know what i mean? [bleep] [bleep] spay when we all know why hunter was paid for his last name and his access, not his friends that you saw in the video pier "the washington post" described it this way, "over the course of the 14 months the chinese conglomerate and executives paid $4.8 million to entities controlled by hunter biden and his uncle here now the evidence isn't made up's from government records, court documents and

bank statements as well as emails from hunter's own laptop hard drive that they claim does not his hard drive for the longest take. now the post take on this was the chinese money trailed to hunter, his uncle, further his ways and family profited from relationships built over joe biden's decades of public service. hunter's old business partner, tony bob belinsky was in town and testified on capitol hill behind closed doors and brought some very interesting financial documents with him that connect more of the dots but more of that in a bit. but the point is everything that joe biden does via china has to be seen through the lens of his family's lucrative relationship with the ccp. period >> what does china have on the bidens? no they record everything for the chinese. what if it was promised on the other side. was it implicit agreement or

explicit agreement what china may do in the future for all of the dough hunter and jim biden made? they need to know this and have answers before november. i want to fast-forward today because china may not officially endorsed a presidential candidate in 2024 but we all know who their guy is, right? he is the one rule with using china's propaganda platform tiktok. >> daisy kelsey or travis kelce? >> chocolate chip cookies. >> trump or biden? are you kidding? biden. [laughs] 's me when the lame, it, as my s would say. they have now 100,000 new tiktok followers because of it. by than old guy trying to look cool, i don't know, just looks older and at odds with his own administration that brands tiktok as a national security

threat to the united states. democrat senator mark warner was not pleased today warning that at the end of the day, ccp can get access to all of your data. so biden is using tiktok and ends up showing the world that he condones china's propaganda presence here, despite what his own administration repeatedly warned us about. so the white house is caught in a trap. >> white of the president allow his campaign, the president come allow his campaign to go on tiktok despite the national security review of the platform? >> he is still sending a message, the president is sending a message about the safety of tiktok by doing this. >> i would have to refer to the campaign on that decision. >> laura: want that is a classic hot potato response. he has a spokesperson for the national security council, for goodness sake. >> on tiktok, can you explain what the national security

concerns that the administration has about tiktok question marks because you know, it is not approved for use on government devices. and that remains the case today. >> why is it okay for people to use tiktok? >> again, that is not something i'm qualified to say from the national security council. all i can tell you it is bent on u.s. government devices, and we follow that guidance. >> laura: that is ridiculous! and you can so see that he was trying to fudge his way through that question because the next question would be, what do you think, sir, the ccp is thinking today about all of this? well, "the angle" will tell you. biden is tough on words only his actions towards china never assisting to band china and to help reelection, that speaks volumes. his administration, by the way filled with prochain officials. they want more china here, not

less. >> is there a national purpose for americans to invest in chinese equities that you are aware of because i'm not? >> well, i mean come in general, i think the view has been that both inward and outward investment or economically beneficial. >> laura: i can't believe that is our treasury secretary. every time i hear her speak, it hurts my ear. nothing beneficial is happening today, janet. the market plunged more than 500 points. maybe she should make a tiktok video about how everyone should be happy with less and higher prices. the truth is tiktok should not be banned here simply because chinese owner click and stores your data, which they do. it operates tiktok does both as a communist influence peddling scheme and a culture destroying sewer here and on history, it is kind of like spark notes for radicals. even pennsylvania's john fetterman called it out. >> a lot of people are getting

their perspective from tiktok. i think if you are getting your perspective around the world on tiktok, it will be not reflective of the history and actually doing things absolutely the way they are. >> laura: but that is how the biden administration actually likes things. but gives the far left a big playground where they can vent or maybe even go viral. the reason the white house would never push for a band from tiktok. well, they announced last april, they were going to unleash an army of influencers to tout biden's record and floating a briefing room for influencers. so influencer tiktok want your vote. thank you, china. china's happy to provide a hip conduit for stream of anti-american rantings on tiktok. >> you know what is probably the most and ironic ways, the quality of life is so bad that i would be willing to commit treason for free. i would give away government secrets like it is a

black friday deal. it is the season for some treason. i would do anything for this country. >> laura: he has 49,000 followers and china relishes turning on americans like this race is on tiktok come up with new racial epithet to attack white people. >> usually i don't agree with african americans but i would agree. i would never call african american in your face. chalk child, chalk child is a personal thing and i love using that one. >> laura: rice lieutenant. oh, she said ranch dressing too? oh, i get it, white, so clever. on tiktok this month, the messages back of the bus and shut the [bleep] up. >> all the people are dumped this month. i have my eyes on you. but we will be working on the side one gnomic sidewalk, in if you pass me you are racist.

don't let me catch you in indistinct and to sing. all the white people to the back of my bus. i don't want to see you in my probation. >> laura: 292,000 followers for. all of this hate percolates and affects american mines made possible by dangers have her tear adversary. it kills brain cells, works thinking, no shots need to be fired. again, biden is fine with it. of course, it is not just tiktok that shows up where biden is with china. his open border tells the grim story as well. customs and border protection sources telling our own film allusion that just yesterday, 29 chinese nationals crossed our border illegally. so the total for the fiscal year 2024 so far? no big deal, at 20,000? i thought it said 2,000. what could go wrong. none of this is funny though, it is infuriating and we all fear

for our children. we fear for our grandchildren. all politicians, including donald trump, need to state the threat posed to our country plainly. we are being invaded, included by chinese agents and joe biden again is fine with that. if he wasn't, he would issue an executive order today to shut the border town to the national security threats. but he doesn't see china as a threat. instead, he made a callous deal with the devil. trading the minds of our children via tiktok for political power, come on! so long as he can remain in office the president of the american people. believe the american people are an afterthought. the most important issue of the 2024 campaign is whether americans will elect a republican president who is independent of china or keep the current president who is not. if we continue on the current path, the future will be long, of course, belong to president xi and the ccp and the

united states will be nothing more than china's junior partner and that is "the angle." gordon chains of fellow gate institute and china is going to work. gordon, explain to us how the ccp uses tiktok to their ben benefit? >> two principal ways, lower first, all the data that it gets off tiktok. that is basically half of the u.s. population goes directly to beijing. this was documented two years ago by buzzfeed appeared about the more important was is the curation of the algorithm of the curation of videos. in other words, what are your kids going to see? what we are shown is basically russian disinformation on the ukraine war and promotion of illegal drug use in the u.s. as you pointed out, videos that attempt to divide the american people. and this is going to be aided by ais china is going to put more

ai into tiktok. so we know what is going on here. >> laura: so gordon, you factor in the ai and the ability to produce videos quickly and with really, you know, handsome men and good-looking women, and they all look perfect. their message will be generally what to america? >> well, it's going to be let's divide america and promote hatred. let's promote china. this is what is going to be on their curations algorithm. which is the most sophisticated algorithm of its type in the world. we know why joe biden is doing this. and the chinese do as well. for instance, after he was elected november 2020, a prominent chinese academic gave a live stream lecture and he said, "look, the chinese regime

is looking forward to joe biden going to the oval office because beijing will then be able to determine outcomes that the american political system at the highest level." so the chinese believe that they owned alejandro mayorkas and they believe, in fact, he is a traitor. >> laura: gordon, this is what the ceo of tiktok owned by the chinese company bytedance told congress. >> all the data by tiktok shared with the chinese government pursuant to the national intelligence laws of the country? >> senators, we have not asked for data from the chinese government and we never provided it. >> laura: gordon, do you believe that? >> that was perjury because we know from the buzzfeed reporting in the middle of 2022 that everything was pipeline from tiktok to a center in beijing. as a matter of fact tiktok u.s. employees did not have access to

it. that was perjury. and i believe the bike and justice department should prosecute him for that. >> laura: 20,000 chinese nationals, i actually thought it said 2,000 when i looked at it, but 20,000 have entered our country illegally in this current fiscal year so far. what does that tell you, gordon? why are they coming? >> they are desperate chinese that have given up on our society. the end of last month, we saw those videos of migrants who came into the u.s. less than three weeks before taking target practice with stay for rifles and pistols. we subsequently learned this occurred in other locations as well. now, if you are a poor migrant with nothing but a backpack and you come into the u.s., you're probably thinking about where to get your next meal or where to live. you would not be thinking of sharpening your skills to kill your neighbors unless of course, you are coming here to kill

americans. >> laura: how far would americans get trying to enter china, gordon? they wouldn't get too far not that they would want to go to china, but you get my point. gordon, thank you very much. biden issues an ultimatum to the g.o.p. but might not like the answer. charlie hurt's explains it next. so i can focus on my calling and our family. joining christian health care ministries was one of the best decisions we ever made. ministries was one of the best decisions we ever made. we're the blair family, and this is our chm story. missed open enrollment? no problem! enroll anytime and begin your chm story today. at chministries.org now.

♪ t laura: right now the ho ♪ ♪ >> laura: right now, thehe house is trying for the second time to impeach five dhs secretary,o alejandro mayorkas on charges woefully refusing to enforcerigh border laws. the magic number is 214 andthre right now, they just crossed the threshold of. we will continue to monitor but as of right now they just crossed the threshold which means, alejandro mayorkas has been officially impeached be the house of representatives. wow! we will stay on this and give you more. we have byron donalds coming up later in the show on that and a lot more. but 74 million people voted for trumpian 2020.ieve many of the voters believe indi america first.ze they don't believe we can afford to subsidize proxy wars for countries like ukraine that area themselves rife with corruption

and certainly not our traditional allies.iden but president biden and hishi shady puppeteers think that youo selfish here and in fact, youct are unpatriotic if not on boardk with keeping the killing machine going. and not juste for this year, wl into 2025. >> save house members, house members, you have to decide to come are you going to stand up for freedom where are you going to side with terror and tyranny? are you going to stand with ukraine or stand with vladimir putin?>> we stand with america or withr trump.fo >> laura: joining me now charlie hurt, an opinion writer. for -- and fox news contributor's, ari fleischer, we will get to ukraine haranguing in a moment but i want your thei boathouse successfully impeaching dhs secretary, alejandro mayorkas. >> well, it isyou we actually to the questions you were just asking because it shows the

urgency of the house republicans attached t o securing the border. that is why he was impeached because he didn't secure the board. anhe failed to exercise what hes ha ws under the law and we have insecure border. it is not a surprise that theyi were able to come back.ld i guess it proves the old adage, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.ra spoon steve scalise who is undergoing cancer treatment made his way back to washington to cast his vote.hem obviously, that helped put them over theeded threshold they nee. but charlie, when yod you look t this and you think back on what alejandro mayorkas said when he was asked before congress, is -- do you consider this a crisis? and i guess, it is not official perjury because it is kind ofthn opinion, but it was pretty close. it was a crisis within a few months of what was happening at our border. a few months, not three years later. >> and there is no doubt not

just that but there is plenty of other evidence that you could build, proving he perjurede himself in testimony beforego congress, trying to cover up what was going on here. obviously, this vote commit is a great day for america. what is kind of frustrating, even though you have a closelyu divided house, republicans just barely leaked through. i couldn't see perfectly clearly, but it look like three republicans had voted against this.ties this is abrogation of their r responsibilities. i know a lot of people say onreu well, republicans only have a baret majority in the house.ashi well, republicans have the mosts important power in washington. that is the power of the purse.n all taxation, legislation dealing withuse. tax or spending begins in the house. getting the republicans in the house, the most powerful ability to shut the government down ifsu the administration refuses to enforce the border. this should have happened ase

soon as republicans took control of the house. i'm glad it is happening now, but they shoulthisd pursue thisn and this is something the american people -- they can win this fight with the american people because americans. >> laura: republicans on this. i dan, i have a message to what you alluded to and i want ari fleischer on this. we have three g.o.p. congressmen vote "no." mcclintock is in a tough campaign in california. republican coalition i ine. california will always play it safe here, ken buck republican from the purpllibee state ofer colorado, actually liberal state, mike gallagher from wisconsin. ari, even in those states obviously democrat leaning, this is a pretty easy vote in thether end, is it not? >> yes. i think there are two ways to at it and one is on the

substance of the vote in thedo failures of the biden administration on the border. what does impeachment mean?fo i think there is a purist view of the constitution of high crimes and misdemeanors. they can say high crime ofo misdemeanor been taken place? pl both of person to blame as nancy pelosi.he when they impeach donald trump g twice hunter of the democratic house, they turned the impeachment of a crime misdemeanor to a vote of nouldn confidence. that is where this started. and it should not surprise anybody, especially thehold democrats of republicans who vote power start to impeach then bite administration officials for a lack of confidence. so, if you want to say who started to violate the norms ans violate washington? the two impeachment votes because that started to break the patterns and that is what you saw happening today with only three lone republican holdouts for that procedural ground that it was not a high crime misdemeanor. >> laura: every time he woulds e calm before congress, he was vey smug in the face of ancy

overwhelming human, economic, l and national security emergency. kind of like, well, annoyed by the whole process. and fairly flippant in his responses. and i don'out believe, ari, even the biggest trump critics thought that was very smart. and thought that was the rightna approach, given what we knew was happening at the border. now into the interior part of p the country.eoe wh >> yeah, i think it shows american people who is fightingo to close theme border. he was fighting to make sure ifm you come to this country, youllg come here illegally but if you come here illegally, only one party left that will do anythint about it. so-called bipartisan deal reached in the senate was the most loophole laid in amnesty c filled, provision i have ever seen. it was a compromise and giveannp on the border. and so, i think it is a good thing that house republicans ara there to fight for the future i and to fight to keep the borderu so, it is secure and only peoplu come who are supposed to.

>> laura: and charlie, the last time impeachment of a cabinet official accord was 1876. it was a secretary of war. so this is not something taken lightly and happens casually. but i would say purists might what purest think about high crimes and misdemeanors, and i understand that.>>im but it is hard to imagine our founders if they could envision what america would be that this is what america would be with as border that is ultimately meaningless and, you know, a lot of other things that have happened, but that one fact to me, that is pretty close to impeachable if not slam-dunk impeachable offense.an >> i agree with you completely. and i do appreciate what ari isn saying. i don't like the idea of turning impeachment into this political schedule that you just sort of go back and forth over nonsensen

but this is not nonsense and i know you are not sayinaying tha, ari. but i can't think of any example of this is aiding and abetting that inflation of our country. this is surrendering our borders completely giving into enemies we don't even know and allowing them into our country to take over our country and to surrender the border to the worse human smuggling slave drivers, drug cartels and all of the worst elements of humanity. and surrendering it all. in that particular case i can't think of a higher -- a more urgent reason to impeach somebody. quite frankly, i wish they had done this at the beginning and gone after joe biden himself over this. der.because he is allowing anloe

invasion of the border. this is as close to treason as g can think. i don't know what else there is. if you are not going to enforce your own borders and allowntry people who are killing americans to come into the country and completely disregard all of our rules and our laws, i don't know what impeachment is for if it's not for this. >> laura: ari and charlie, stay with me on this. ronjoining me now and this isst congressman byron donalds from the house oversight committee who walked up at the floor. the congressman mcdonald's still mcdonald's, when we look back and hear the cries of grieving mothers whose sons and daughterr murdered a traditional sense or murder through fentanyl pills that have been smuggled across the board with greater ease because of joe biden, they came to capitol hill just recently and said, "impeachment is our only remedy at this point."to that really hit me.os >> lowe, laura, to those mothers

and those families, the lost love ones to this crisis that is afflicted them and brought to them by joe biden, we have answered that call. alejandro mayorkas has been impeachment of the senate needs to gato ahead and do due diligee on this. what is happening to the southern border is a tragedy.ca it is a man-made crisis.bide it is a political crisis brought to us by the democrats byan joe biden and the american pepeople deserve better. house republicans stand with them to make sure we will do everything to secure our nation. >> laura: dhs just responded torepu this impeachment vote by saying, "house republicans will be remembered by history for trampling on the constitution for political gain rather than working to solve this serious challenges at the border." this is laughable, without aspit shred of evidence or constitutional grounds and ans opposition, t republicans have smeared a dedicated public servant who has

spent 20 years enforcing our laws and serving our country. secretary mayorkas and the department of homeland security will continue working every day to keep americans safe. congressman, he is working hard >>for the american people. >> no, he's working hard for the drug cartels and working hard for the radical left. because that is what his actions have produced. the white house and the department of homeland security can put out whatever statement they want, but the facts are n alejandro mayorkas has been derelict in his duty.as he has not followed the essence cureof federal law.s fo he has not made sure to securetr this nation and followed joe bidereckn and his terrible,e reckless policies and he deserves to be held accountable ra: today, and we delivered tha. >> laura: toast over the the weekend, alejandro mayorkas spoke out about the border and he said this. >> it certainly is a crisis. we don't bear responsibility fon a broken system and we are doing a tremendous amount within that broken system.

but fundamentally,se fundamentally, congress is only one who cald tn fix it. >> laura: really?in 2it seems like donald trump ata n the border 2018-2019 when they did remain in mexico and title 42. congressman, they don't -- they never bear responsibility, not for inflation, not for the monee hunter got from the chinese, and certainly not for the open border that is an open sewer into the united states ofth criminality. >> this is a a flat out joke. they are living in bizarredo world, in' don't know what they are looking at. the four yearslk of donald trump, there was never a year more than 1 million encounters at the southernion. border. under joe biden every year over 1 million.cl this yeaosr we are pleased to gt to 2.7, close to 3 million.ions now we have at the northernin border. and they continutse to live by talking points of radical left open borders groups that have been with this policy for

decades in the united states. the american people are sick ofo it.e it is bipartisan across the board appear of the polling dictates that and the stories fs in timber, boston, new york dictates that and theme house of representatives will stand by the american people. we need him removed. we need somebody in that job that will secure the nation.man. >> laura: well, they need the talking point, they thought, congressman. they feel they got a talking point when thad t so-called phoy border bill was tanked and the house last week. i thought it was great newsctua because it actually would have continued the flow of migrants, may be managed at a little bit differently, butowed millions o. people would have still been allowed to come in for years.nk it was a sun setting bill anywad in three years. they think that is her talkingse point to hold that up as a shield. yomiseu all refused to vote fort compromise, and that would make a big difference at the border, congressman. >> i totally help agree. b the only things that will really help they are putting trump

policies back in place. i know it is a presidential year and i know joe biden and the table krantz don't want to admit admihat t it but the border was secure. everybody understands that and now, the city center states, the terrible policy cannot be ignored. so here iseal. the deal, let mek asthis out for joe biden andenat alejandro mayorkas. ercure the border. i know the senate passed a billt $95 billion, i will tell you right now, we are not listening to that in the house. secure the border and we can talk about other things. until then, washington does not deserve any more of the people's money because joe biden has lau failed the united states of america. >> laura: the shoveling money out the door that we don't ave have it as our country is beingn, t invaded. c congressman, thank you. will go back to ari and charlie who are also standing by. they have been watching thingsic unfold on the house floor tonight. e 18this is historic, second tie since 1876, only second time in, history that a cabinethe secretary has been impeached.

of course, we have never seen the influx of humanity across any border w i don't think in world history as we havethre seo over the last three years. the total, we don't really have a clear grip on it, but a whilen ago it was over 8 million. you you can only imagine today closer to 10 million when you include the got a ways. that is a fundamental shift in the american population and her. is what the white house said earlier today about the vote. watch.rk >> the house republicans need to do serious work, work that actually matters. work that the americanot people care about. this is not it. >> laura: ari, your reactiont to this. it is fascinating, i think to a lot of us to see this push foror more money and more money moreed money for ukraine's border,d, y which is not a traditional ally of the united states. and yet, our own border, wee

couldn't even give $5 billion went donald trump one at that to build the wall.ee but we will send $60 billion more to ukraine to keep that wa' going through 2025. your reaction.w >> that is the crux of the h matter. ave mathis is where a new genern of house republicans have made clear, if you want to support these other endeavors, you needl to first take care of america. that he has been looming inside the republican party. the problem for the senate and the problem for president biden is thenate p constitution. thion,e constitution says if thi senate passes one version on the house passes another version, the two bodies have to getrk w together. the logical step is for the senate now to work with the house, which has already passed a very effective border measuret hr two which was far tougher than they think the bid. if they still want the other priorities, they have an opportunity. they need to work with the houso to pass meaningful, security along the border. in the house has already passedd it. days, there used toethi be a conference committee, thetr senates passed something, these

house passes something here they get back t together and they boh have to compromise. the senate needs to move to the house in the senate needs to whi move to the senate and that is how the system works. i don't know what thates white house press secretary is talking about it. the house has done his job and now it is time for congress together to do it and meeting in the middle and past something that can be signed into law. it won't pass the house if it doesn't have meaningful border security. >> laurai lete: it is a new republican generation and i completely agree with you, ari, this is not 2003. this is 2024 and we have a very different country now here the d and theas change country is broke. moments ago biden put out a statement echoing what you heard from alejandro mayorkas' office. history will not look on house republicans for blatant active constitutionalpu partisanship wh honorable public official to play petty political games. charlie, again, this issue is sn raw for so many people.

and it ranks now the top issue in most key districts in the united states eclipsing even a inflation, which i thought waspo hard to do. how does the lives play out setting aside the constitutional question? >> i think it cuts clearly across party lines. partisan lines. vot this is something that affects our democrat voters. demoin a lot of ways it affects democrat voters even more than it does republican voters.d bl these impatiens. now we see these invasions intoo blue states and blue cities. you walk around new york city today or any of these other places where they have suddenly been effective the sanctuary and cities that were so happy to be sanctuary cities for so long and suddenly having to contend with what border states have had to contend with and any states near border states have had tode contend with for decades. this is a -- this is an o

explosive issue.t th of course, there is only one politician who has been right about this from the beginning, and that is donald trump. and what we are seeing in bothth houses, both chambers of congress, both reluctance in the house to do this.publ and again, i would argue house republicans should shut down all spending. is>> laura: i agree.agre >> let the government shutdown>v to fix this problem. and voters will reward them for it. starting with democrat voters. places like new york city. >> laura: i completely agree. this is the most important issu. facing america, this and theng china threat here they should have been dealt with a long tims ago. ari and charlie, thank you so much. this is related, two of the most dangerous things in the world come are they teaming up onto the streets of american cities courtesy of an open border? alejandro mayorkas might want to watch this next. ♪ ♪
