of block investor investigations it looks like president biden and his son hunter are the biggest fish on the menu. i am jackie deangelis in for kennedy, for years kennedy flamed he never spoken to hunter about his son's business dealings, but hunter's lap to be suggesting that is a big lie, text messages and e-mails allegedly show dad not only knew what hunter was up to, but he may have profit the from it remember the big guy. the reason this is troubling because hunter was working with a lot of sketchy people in a well the of shady places. ukraine, china, kazakhstan, you name it. today, the incoming chair of house oversight committee james comer said he beens to get to the bottom of everything. >> this is an investigation of joe biden. president of the united states and why he lied to

american people about his knowledge and participation in his family's international business schemes. we will pursue all avenues, this have long been ignored. >> congressman comer claimed that the bidens set up dozens of shell companies and wired millions of dollars to people all over the world. but last week president challenged republicans to put up or shut up watch. >> what is your message to republicans who are considering investigating your family in particular your son hunter's business dealings. >> lots luck in your senior years my coach said, i think that american public wants us to move on, get things done for them. >> so, how involved was the president? joining me now fox news contributor host of ben

domenech podcast, ben. great to see you, i want to dig into this, now that republicans secured house this seems to be top on the agenda, a lot of people since hunter biden laptop story first emerged have said this should be investigated. >> i absolutely believe it should be investigated, no president should escape the kind of allegation vase have been raised with publicly verifiable in about decisions his son made, many may have benefited the president financially and his family, these are question that should not escape notice just because you have powerful friends or family members. members. i think that republicans run risk are not understanding the consequences of election they went through, american people elected a republican majority to get into a lot of things, i think most

americans care more about investigations perhaps of lack of baby formula, and overreach of the fbi when it came to going after americans across the country who raise concerns about what was going on in their schools. you know and, of course, i think that there are other questions to look back further at the disastrous exist from afghanistan and other issues that should also be major priorities. what i would encourage republicans to do say, look, this is part of a comprehensive view of what is going on. but if i'm ranking things i'm most concerned about. hunter biden and what he has done is still lower than what is going on in the border on a daily basis, don't lose sight of the bigger picture, yes go after and look into this. but there are big issues that affect americans on a daily basis that need to be priority. >> you bring up a great

point, a lot would agree. even the investigations into past mistakes to certain degree are not as important as republican leaders and house trying to pass some legislation. to undo some of the damage that has been done here, one thing i know wall street hailed they will at least be able to block spending, we know that. having said that, do you think they will be able to getting any through? done in a bipartisan way? >> one thing i hope they prioritize. it is low -- low hanging fruit, they need to go after advance am and expansion of irs in a dangerous way that could result in audit of a lot of middle class americans in next fiscal year, people they believe in engages in some kind of malfeesence with their tax returns, understanding that middle class and upper

middle class americans who pay people with venmo and that thing are people they want to go after. because they think they can get a whole hoard of money from them, i think that is somsomething republicans should pass quickly, there are a number of democrat on senate side that would be on their side withon that issue. or difficulty politically tbogoing into 2024. >> part of the conversation in run off in georgia is that every seat matters. when the votes are so close, if one or two people on other side blip that could change the direction of an issue. >> yes, that is true, one thing i think is really important to keep in mind, as much as people might be disappointed about the outcome with the 2022 and certainly i was with the senate, you look at someone

like herschel walker, you say, if you just leave him behind at-this-point, say you are not going to try to get him elected. what are you saying to future republicans where it might make a huge difference down the road based on the decision you made. we have a leadership in washington that is decrepit. oldest speaker right now, because nancy pelosi is still speaker, oldest president and president pro-temp about to turn 90 until they get around her. not aware she was up for the job in in diane feinstein, we need new generations of people who are raising these issues. >> you bring up a great point, ben always great chatting with you and nancy pelosi is a big topic tonight. >> thank you very much, jackie. >> speaking of nancy pelosi, the end of an era in some

ways, today announcing she will not seek reelection as leader of the house, after nearly 20 years, still pelosi will stay on for there are term and said time to pass the gavel to a new generation. >> we must move boldly to the future, ill not seek reelection -- i will not seek reelection for m me hour has come for a new generation. >> a day after republicans gained control of the house with kevin mccarthy potentially on his way to be next speaker, with nancy gone, who'll lead the democrats? we get into it with our party panel. jason rantz. and kevin walling and president, lee carter with us.

jason, start with you, your reaction to what the speaker said, after 20 years, maybe it is time to pass the baton. >> it was time a long time ago. she held on to this role for way too long, i think we could say that about leaders on both sides, there is a is -- dentacey, i think, it is not really inspiring, there are a lot of people who want to pretend nancy pelosi is an inspirational figure, i can't get if out of my red, rex chapman sweet about his crush on her. they don't have that memany young people they can turn to who are ready for positions of

leadership. aoc is not ready and jeffries, i doaj i don't think he has what it takes. >> kevin could talk about you know, who'll be able to step up the plate and fill those very big shoes that nancy is leaving. >> jackie, i don't think that anyone can fill her shoes, she is a once in a generation speaker, longest speaker in modern history, has a record of accomplishment that speaks for itself. i'm fired up to what ben said, in what jason said, we have next generation of democrats that are ready to takeover leadership in house of representatives with hakeem jeffries and catherine clark from massachusetts, pete aguilar from california, this is the next generation that can win back the house of representatives in two years, compare that, as president biden said, compare me to alternative.

you have a lot of infighting on the republican side, we don't know if mccarthy has the votes to become speaker. i think you are seeing a really united democratic caucus on the heels of sandy hoyer and nancy nancy pelosi stepping aside. >> we're setting up for a new year not just without nancy pelosi but also with republicans, some say we need a leadership change and reform the party a little bit to look at elections and aftermath and what some voters said. and realize it is time to make changes. >> yes. most polling suggests that americans are ready for next generation of leadership, nancy pelosi i agree with her, she got it right when she said it's time for the next generation it is.

people are ready, i'm waxing nostalgic, nancy pelosi was first woman speaker of the house, first person to be alleged in two separate term times as speaker of the house, accomplished a heck of a lot for women she has shown who they can be, my daughter was given a t-shirt when she was one that said next speaker of the house, there is a lot of inspiration, she is a very astute politician and she was astute in saying time for her to hang it up. i agree as we were talking about who is the next generation. in seems to be a vacuum. i think one thing that people underestimate that astute political nature of of when the positions, nancy pelosi amazing politician, mitch mcconnell, amazing politician. these folks do so much you don't see that is so important to leadership, check per yens that she has when she said she has the

votes she has them and she knows how to run things behind the scenes, i'm not sure who will be the next leader right now that can do the same thing on democratic party. >> thank you so much all. great to see you. >> thank you, jackie. >> do you miss out on taylor swift tickets this week. did you? put down the ice cream and red wine, you are not align arkarkalone, who screwed this up, tailor -- taylor swift orcuri ticketmaster? ♪ when you're through with powering through, it's time for theraflu hot liquid medicine.

loyal partisan democrat voted to impeach donald trump, i bring conservatism. he has done good for a while, but he has become a lliberal and an enabler of joe biden and the democrats. jackie: what is interesting the left would criticize joe manchin and say he is not liberal enough for them, he is kind of getting attacked from both sides. >> i guess he didn't like the criticisms he caved in cutting a deal with joe biden and chuck schumer and passed a horrible spending bill, and voted to impeach donald trump twice.

golo takes a systematic approach to eating that focuses on optimizing insulin levels. we tackle the cause of weight gain, not just the symptom. when you have good metabolic health, weight loss is easy. i always thought it would be so difficult to lose weight, but with golo, it wasn't. the weight just fell off. i have people come up to me all the time and ask me, "does it really work?" and all i have to say is, "here i am. it works." my advice for everyone is to go with golo. it will release your fat and it will release you. jackie: did an accident almost cause world war iii. after blaming russia for a missile attack that killed two farmers in poland, ukraine president zelenskyy is not 100% sure where the missile came from. >> i'm sure this is russian

he is contradicting the u.s. administration at a time we needs u.s. the most. more weapons are needed and russia is run of retreating, this is a scram streis -- strategic win for russia so far. zelenskyy's denial feed it when it clears every it was a ukraine missile. jackie: you have spent a lot of time on the ground there. you can tell us, the longer this goes, it takes a tremendous toll on the ukrainians to fight this war. they are very invested in it, nobody planned for it to go this long. and now we're heading to coldest months of the year, winter months. energy issues will be a problem. theres has been so much ground destruction. where do we go?

some people suggested there has to be some sort of dialogue that brings both sides to a middle ground. >> i think at a some point there has to be dialogue, both sides are not ready to have a diplomatic solution. ukraine will get worse, every time i'm in there, it is their energy infrastructure is being attacked and winter is coming. they are striking at heart of energy infrastructure of day, 45% of their energy had been taken out last i was in there, right now in kyiv, it is a blackout. each new attack with the damage. i think it is at point we need to step up our aid without a doubt and provide them with antiaircraft and antidefense systems and biden needs to use this as leverage put pressure on nato to provide o more

support. jackie: quickly, i want ask. if we continue to be providing aid to allow this to go on, i'm concerned about point made by christopher wray watching china over here and this going olet'sl o-- realizing how stretched u.s. is, president xi jinping would be emboldened and say now is time for taiwan thing. >> you are right, china is more p provocative by the day, they, eclipsing the u.s. with china the stakes are so my, americans need to be concerned about spreadings of chinese influence, listen to businessmen, chinese threat is world. they are controlling always pecall aspects of our society. jackie: thank you so much we'll have you back on. >> thank you. jackie: thank you for
