♪ kennedy: oh, rest -- i don't know -- rest in peace, senator walker. sr. very -- very sad. last night democrat senator raphael warnock taking a victory lap after his narrow win in the georgia runoff defeating republican herschel walker by a slim 3 points. let us watch. >> whether you voted for me or not, that every single day i am going to keep working for you. >> i'm not going to make any excuses now because we put up one heck of a fight. i don't want my of you to stop believing in america -- any of you. i want you to believe in america and continue to believe in the constitution and believe in our elected officials most of all. continue to pray for them. kennedy: well, there you go, senate balance of power now set. democrats manchin-proofing their senate majority, 51-49. today president biden sharing his congratulations in a phone

call to warnock even though he had absolutely nothing to do with the win. watch. >> congratulations, buddy. >> thank you. >> go get 'em. >> easier for us to get things done. >> sure it will. i guarantee you, it will. kennedy: the president tweeting to georgia voters, quote, stood up for our democracy, and, quote, rejectedded ultra-magaism. those are words. what does this really mean for the biden agenda and after another maga candidate defeat, has president trump lost his golden touchsome has the republican -- as the republican party power broker? get into it with our party panel, strategist alexandra wilkes, yes, yes. she is joined by the aggressive progressive podcast host, he's ready for a victory lap, he made some predictions. former aide to senator chuck schumer, christopher hahn is here. and host of radical with shane hazel, it's a podcast that'll

change your life. he ran for governor in georgia this year. he ran for senate two years ago, forced a run are ioff then. he's going to give us his take. shane hazel is back. alexandra, i will start with you. i don't think this is a repudiation of the republican party at all. i think there were a lot of people who were looking for some sanity and some sort of change. i think that these candidates that the former president endorsed in these critical races, i think he were garbage. >> yeah. look, i mean, i think it's impossible to call this a e piewduation of the republican party, because when you look at the state of georgia and the other republicans who ran statewide with, they won with comfortably back in november. and these aren't moderate squishes either, right? these are people who have run as conservatives, who have governed as conservatives. so, you know, i think that you have to look at the candidate in question here, and i think people wanted to believe in herschel walker. but at the end of the day, there

was just too muching baggage. and this was baggage we can did know about in the primary, that we knew about long ago. and i think people are saying to themselves i have enough of my own drama, my own baggage, you know? the economy is hurting my family, i'm worried about my kids many school, i don't need somebody here who's going to take more of that drama, more of that chaos to washington. and i thinkable, ultimately, it was suburban, independent female voters who really made that call. kennedy: yeah. they didn't have a problem voting for brian kemp. but, you know, chris, it was these candidates. now, i want to know on the doozy scale, where does herschel walker sit in terms of the nutty candidates that the former president endorsed? because i think it goes to the fact that there are still a lot of people who appreciate his policies and where we were economically three years ago a when he was president, but they are so sick of chaos and the b.s. and the hypocrisy and the

distractions that they can't stomach any more of it. these times are far too serious. so on that a scale, you know, you've got kari lake and blake masters, dr. oz, where does herschel walker sit? >> i think the kari lake was the absolute worst. i think -- kennedy: you love her. >> -- herschel walker was a close second, but his name recognition in georgia, i think, actually made it a lot closer than it should have been given how he presented himself. look, i agree with a lot of your previous guest's analysis. the thing that she missed though is kemp distanced himself from trump. the rest of the republican party is going to have a very hard time even going forward distancing themselves from trump the. he is -- trump. he is a lead weight around the republicans, and until they the absolutely repudiate him, they will absolutely have similar losses like the ones they a faced in georgia, like what hay faced in arizona, in pennsylvania. he is a problem for them, and they to own it because they have not done enough to walk away from him.

kennedy: well, i think if he is, in fact, the nominee, i don't see that happening at point, i really don't. i think this has been a pretty clear message if from voters that, yes, they appreciate some trumpism policies, but they are so done with the guy. and i think we're all done with crazy old white guys running our lives. so, shane, let me ask you this because chase oliver was the candidate who, you know, forced the runoff just as you did two years ago. but you take the libertarian out of the equation. so, you know, the republicans are very mad at a these libertarian candidates who spoil these races, but you take the libertarian out, and the republican still doesn't win. so what do you chalk that up to? >> boy, when you look at who turned out for this election, i think this is real story, you had only 50.49% of the electorate turn out for entire runoff. that is astounding. that means that about 75% of

georgia said we're not interested in any of these guys, right? we're not interested in warnock, we're not interested in herschel, we don't need any of these guys. these guys are not doing anything, they've got no class. i think right now in terms of what's going on here in georgia, there is absolute pandemonium, chaos and panic within the gop because it's not a trump sate, it's really kind of not a kemp state, and the gop is floundering finding serious candidates. they're running people like herschel walker, and that's the best that they can do? you're going to see more and more people say either i'm going to vote for the libertarian, i'm going to stay home, or i'm just not going to participate in this entire election system which a lot of people here in georgia think is rigged anyway. and, you know, to be one of those people that's been in these the races, i gotta tell you, there's a lot of home cooking in the state, there's a lot of force and coercion. and here's the thing is, it's both democrats and republicans.

going forward, things are going to change, and this is going to be one of those states kind of setting trends going forward. kennedy: well, good, as long as it's trending on the side of limited government and more personal freedom, i'm all for it. the rest of it, it's from pretty maddening. don't worry, the panel's not going anywhere. we have much to discuss including twitter. coming up next, the retail crime wave forcing more businesses to close up shop. some stores aching security into their -- taking security into their own hands. fox news at night anchor trace gallagher is here to discuss all of it next. ♪ i'm back in the saddle again, i'm back ♪

kennedy: retail theft is out of control in blue states and cities, but its law-abiding citizens will end up paying the price. walmart ceo doug mcmillan said tuesday that if the crime wave can't be contained, well, be prepared for some holiday price hikes and store closures. that's fun. >> theft is an issue. it's higher than what it's historically been. and we've got safety measures, security measures that we put in place. >> criminals won't be prosecuted below certain levels. does that matter?

>> if that's not corrected over time, prices will be higher and/or stores will close. kennedy: we've already seen it in places like san francisco, l.a., new york city. this philadelphia gas station hiring armed guards to scare away thieves. so is this the new cost of doing business in a democrat stronghold? joining me now to discuss,s the anchor of "fox news at night" on the fox news channel, trace gallagher. oh, my god, trace, this problem is only getting worse. >> yeah. and you just think about, in just the span of a couple of weeks, kennedy, you talked about walmart, also target sounding the alarm on retail theft and how it's costing them hundreds of millions of dollars in losses. target wants state lawmakers to help crack down on shoplifters, especially the organized retail theft. that's where you have these gangs kind of coming into stores totally unbothered by anybody, and they load up on thousands of dollars in merchandise. last week you had thieves going

into an apple store, right, in silicon valley, and they walked out with thousands. i mean, $40,000 in stuff. the criminals are still on the run, but as you know, the merchandise has likely been sold on the internet. the only real solution seems to be, apparently, for retailers to either shut down stores like cvs did in san francisco and wawa stores have done in philadelphia, and then you have neighborhoods that lose these stores, and it's a hit. but, man, when you talk about a walmart or a target leaving your neighborhood, that is a huge blow. it takes away medicine, easy access to that, household items, and it also takes away jobs. but that's what these people are looking at. bottom line they're saying, listen, the whole thing is the stores are not the only victims. the people who live in these neighborhoods are also victims. kennedy: absolutely right. and they need these places. they need places where they can clip coupons and save money and, you know, get their first jobs and finally get into the economy and, you know, those are the

bastions that they formerly have turned to. but also with the defund the police movement, a lot of underserved communities don't have the proactive community policing they did in the past. and in places like california where you live, you know if you steal anything under $900, it's a misdemeanor. so, and thieves know that as well. they know they can go in and take what they want, and these stores have telegraphed that they're not going to put their security and other employees in harm's way, and they're not going to go after thieves. so why 'em wouldn't you go for the free-for-all? why would you not go for the target buffet? >> it's like crossing the border, right? if the border's open, why would you not cross it? if you walk into a cvs, even if they can afford security guards, the security guards are not going to bother you which is interesting when you showed the pictures of philadelphia and you had that convenience store and the owner's so fed up, he hires the guys with the ar-15s to

guard around them? the funny thing about this is, kennedy, this guy was hit repeatedly, right? he hires these people x he has not been bothered one time. and you notice why there are certain places in florida that don't have nearly the retail crime that we have in california and new york? it's because they have those laws, they have the right to be able to defend themselves. and when you have the right to defend themselves and the law states that, you know, anything under $950 is not really a crime, you can expect to have less crime in your retail the stores than in places like california and philadelphia and washington state. and it goes on and on. kennedy: yeah. i mean, i feel bad for the mom and pop shops because places like target anding walmart, they have the ear of lawmakers, you know? they've got pr departments. they can advocate for themselves. but you've got these little shops, they can't hire security, they certainly can't kiss all their inventory good-bye. what do they do in this climate?

>> and that's the key, because it's the mom and pop shops that have to rely on insurance, right in they're insured, but they can't afford the insurance rate because they get hit five or six times. the targets and the walmarts of the world can pay the insurance, sometimes they're self-insured, but the mom and pop shops, they have to rely on the insurance, and the rates keep going up, and it's pushing them out of business. it's the retail theft and the insurance costs that continually go up. that is what's costing these small businesses their livelihood. kennedy: yeah. and lower income earners, guess what they're going to be paying? higher insurance rates and higher prices for things they could normally get for a cheaper price at places like target and walmart. we're all kind of hosed. but you are like a warm cup of cocoa. every night on the fox news channel, we'll be watching tonight. thank you. >> thank you, kennedy. kennedy: uh-huh. meanwhile, "time" magazine naming volodymyr zelenskyy its

2022 person of the year for his ability to galvanize the world against the invasion of ukraine. and 10 months in, still galvanizing. president biden asking congress to send, yeah, listen for it, another $37 billion in aid just last month. today russian president vladimir putin told reporters he expects the war to be a long process. so will zelenskyy be "time's" person of the year for the next decade? joining me now, retired marine corps sergeant joey jones. welcome back, joey. >> good evening. person of the year. yeah, weren't we all person of the year maybe a decade and a half ago? i miss those days when places like "time" magazine understood the contribution of, i don't know, the american taxpayer? i mean, i think if anybody really deserves credit for ukraine still being around, it's the ukrainians that have fought or the americans that have paid for it. but this is not surprising, and

i'm not offended by it, i'm not upset by it because i understand the entertainment cabal that exists. and nobody has had a the pr campaign that zelenskyy's had. and, you know, i don't know the guy. maybe he's genuine, but, you know, there's a vogue shoot that a lot of people on his side wish hadn't happened. kennedy: yes. and there was the comparison to the holocaust that many people -- >> yeah. kennedy: -- that many people were offended by. what is your biggest fear here, that we're propping ukraine up just enough so they can have their own forever war that's going to go on, you know, 10, 15 more years, or that the perceived good guys won't stay good guys forever now that they are flush with weapons systems and cash? >> yeah, it's all of the above. i mean, listen, before this happened there was a lot of skepticism of zelenskyy's government in ukraine, and i don't think that skepticism should go away because vladimir

putin is a proven bad actor, and his invasion of ukraine is a proven bad thing. you know, any administration would be many a tough spot once this happened -- would be in a tough spot. the pressure from within and without to aid ukraine is one thing. the pressure to do it in a way that doesn't provide weapons to our enemies or embellish the pro-american stance of a country being invaded. all of the questions that people that are now looked at as outliers, conspiracy theorists or what have you, the rand pauls of the world that are isolationist, all their questions are completely valid. there are people in the military that are incredibly concerned with where some of the weapons ended up, and the hands they ended up and who's going to know what our arsenal looks like from the inside out now. those are all valid. our government does a great job of spending money. unfortunately, they're not good at much else. so when we armed the ukrainians, which is a great thing in sound and verbally, but the practical

application has been anything but logistically sound, and that's a concern. on top of that, if you're just going to name a person of the year, i see why it's zelenskyy, i do. how about elon musk? whether you love him or hate him, who's changed the world more in the last 10 years than probably he has? he provided starlink to ukraine when they had their war. he just bought twitter, the world's preeminent -- at least in the ruling class -- communication platform. and if you want to go down from there, pete davidson's probably going to be responsible for a lot of the art that influences our culture with all his ex-girlfriends, and if you want to be serious about it, what about ennis freedom? who stood up to china and the nba and just spoke the truth and gave up his family and his job to do it? kennedy: yes. and he knew what he was up against. that is an incredibly brave person -- >> yeah, absolutely. kennedy: -- doing something that lebron james would never have the nards to do.

i'm so incredibly proud of the way he has stood up against tyranny and authoritarianism. >> absolutely. kennedy: not just in his native turkey, but also the chinese communist party and even some of the baffoons here in the united states that you pointed out. i would like to see rapen -- iranian women shouted out as women of the year and talk about people who are truly risking their liveses, and they're doing it every day taking to the streets. and they know it is tantamount to a death sentence, what they are doing, and i think that they deserve some recognition. >> if i'm not mistaken, i believe "time" magazine labeled them hero of the year, so i applaud them for that. i'm a fair person, and it's not just about, you know, dragging out the crag of "time" -- the rag of "time" magazine. but that's a consolation prize. they don't publicize it the same way, and i think maybe if they had the chance to reverse those two, i think a lot of people would be happy with it.

kennedy: yeah. nancy kerrigan also got the silver medal. [laughter] thanks, joey. coming up, bye-bye, birdie. elon musk firing a sketchy top lawyer inside twitter who was also a sketchy top government lawyer. he was undermining musk. we'll tell you how with the panel, they return next. ♪ meet leon the third... leon the second... and leon... the first of them all. three generations, who all bank differently with chase. leon's saving up for his first set of wheels... nice try. really? this leon's paying for his paint job on the spot... and this leon, as a chase private client, he's in the south of france, taking out cash with no atm fees. that's because this family of leons has chase. actually, it's león. ooh la la! one bank for now. for later. for life. chase. make more of what's yours.

kennedy: elon musk's push for transparency at twitter maven derailed by an -- may have been derailed by a well-connected insider who went all the way back to the fbi. the billionaire firing top lawyer james baker for going behind musk's back and delaying the release of the twitter files. baker also played a part in censoring the hunter biden laptop story. he previously worked for the bureau playing a key role in the

2016 trump-russia investigation. so what was he doing at the highest levels of twitter? and one hell of a golden parachute. what more will come out now that he is out of the picture? alexandra wilkes, christopher hahn, shane hazel. ninja moves, let's do it. alexandra, why was james baker so high up in the government and then so high up at twitter, and why should we assume that big government and big tech are not really cozy bedfellows? >> you should absolutely assume that, because it's a reinvolving door. we've seen many former obama administration officials find their way to silicon valley and at the heads of these large companies that are making decisions that, in effect, are government decisions in many cases when the government tries to intervene in the workings of these private companies. so i think that, look, sunshine is the best disinfectant. i admire the way that elon musk

just sort of fired him drama-free. it was just like, look, this guy was involved, he was a roadblock, we've got to get him out of the way, and he did that. but, look, this process is a good one. it's the exposing good actors along the way. this isn't just a one-sided thing. you look at people like ro khanna, for example, who came out of this looking pretty good when he raised free speech concerns when nobody was watching or when it felt like he was among friends, if you will. [laughter] so i think that this is the best thing for people who are using twitter to see, to regain trust in the system and to have a platform that works for everybody. kennedy: yeah. the system is pretty broken, and now everyone at twitter who is no longer there pretty much freely admits that, yes, censoring the hunter biden laptop story right before the election was a very bad idea and was incredibly heavy handed. >> you know, i'm glad you mentioned ro khanna, because that congressman was the only democratic elected official to

contact twitter. and he said, release it. so i don't understand what the twitter files -- kennedy: sometimes progressives are good on free speech. >> i actually, i actually think that republicans should start trying to focus op on how to win elections and stop complaining about why they lost. they lost the election because they had a bad candidate, not because we didn't get to see hunter biden's junk on twitter. kennedy: you think that's the only thing that -- >> they will continue to lose. that's why hay lost year -- kennedy: you think that was the only thing that was in the laptop? maybe that was the only thing that you were focusing on, but there was a lot of other stuff that could be very damning to joe biden and the rest of the family. >> yeah. and it was delayed on twitter by one day -- >> that's not true. kennedy: [inaudible] >> that's what the twitter files actually showed, it was delayed -- kennedy: that's not true. you're being incredibly, incredibly dishonest there -- >> no, i am most certainly not. read the files. kennedy: you're being incredibly

dishonest and disingenuous -- >> okay, the new york post story was -- [inaudible conversations] one day. kennedy: -- his man parts. all right. so, shane -- >> yeah. although we saw people asking him to help get their kids into college. kennedy: yes, we did. neat. >> we did. kennedy: and that didn't help either. but nepotism knows no bounds. >> no. kennedy: among the powerful and the power-hungry. and the drug-addicted and mentally unstable who should have no job near anything that could influence national security, but magically hunter biden did. so -- >> oh, god. kennedy: okay, stop it. where do we go from here, shane hazel? >> well, we've got jack dorsey standing up and saying, hey, release everything unfiltered, do it now. kennedy: i'm fine with that. >> jack dorsey learned a big, big lesson at twitter when people came in, they went public, and now he's been working in places like bitcoin

and the lightning networks to make sure that people have a decentralized type of platform for everybody to communicate without rulers to each other and fix that baseline communications protocol. this is absolutely a slow motion, nuclear intelligence bomb going off. think about what facebook, what social media is in general in terms of twitter and the rest of it. this is a historical time-keeping apparatus for anybody who engages with this. now, if you were smart and you played the long game, you probably -- like jack dorsey did or saw, what you're going to see over time is this huge explosion, and we're not going to know exactly who gets hit, who gets absolutely wiped out and who is left standing. i think the people that were good actors are going to be left standing. i think the people that have a little bit of courage and stand up and join the ranks of people like elon, possibly jack dorsey, are going to figure out the system very fast. the people that are pulling the

strings, it's not the democrats and are republicans, it's not the corporations, it's the bank withs. and whoever pushes things like esg, the imf, whoever pushes the new world economic forum and this great reset in terms of cbds, these are the people who are pulling the strings, and each and everyone in congress and the senate -- kennedy: well, i agree with you on decentralization. i would like to see decentralization everywhere. i also agree with you about transparency. that doesn't hurt anyone. and that goes for julian assange as well. new, disturbing claims about the health and human services department, this is fun. a whistleblower says hhs is knowingly placing migrant kids with criminals and sex traffickers. now republican senators commanding answers in -- demanding answers writing, quote: congress must immediately take action to stop the atrocities. this whistleblower claims are being committed by the federal government itself.

the senate committee on homeland security and twoftal affairs -- governmental affairs must call a hearing to further investigate these whistleblower claims. so is this border problem enough for president biden to finally pay attention, al a sandra? -- alexandra? >> you would think so, but he was just in arizona yesterday and said that there were more important things to do than visiting the border. so i think what's laughable is that democrats claim to be the humane ones in opening up the border and allowing migrants to come across when this has become a humanitarian crisis, when this has become a place where precious children, women and girls are sold into slavery, essentially, traffic thed across the border. and the cartels are the ones that are winning here. so i think that it's just, it's absolutely disgusting, what is happening down there. i think we need immediate accountability, and i'm hopeful that at least with republicans in charge of the house, this is something that we can start to see in the new term. kennedy: yeah.

we are doing everything wrong, chris, especially in terms of harming kids. and, you know, you can't -- it's hard to make a case for hhs when you hear something like this and, you know, a vast majority of the whistleblowers who have come out in recent years -- not all of them, but most of them by a long shot, they have been right. and we need to take a much harder look at the federal government which, you know, if this is true and they're placing these vulnerable kids who have been separated from their parents to enrich the coyotes with criminals, what the hell do you do about it? >> yeah. look, that's something we should look into. i'm dubious on the use of the word knowingly in senator johnson's statement which, you know, i don't really trust the senator johnson on anything. but i don't want to see kids trafficked. i want to make sure that that is the looked into. i think the federal government should, the biden administration, i think the senate and the house should hold

hearings and find out what's going on. if there's a significant trafficking problem, it should be addressed. kennedy: i agree completely. and, you know, i think it's very interesting that you are more invested in bad mouthing ron johnson than figuring out if kids are being placed with criminals and sex traffickers. that's the most important thing, not this guy -- >> you know what? when somebody cries sex trafficking everybody other day, it's kind of hard. he's cried wolf a lot, and i'm dubious, because i haven't seen -- kennedy: do you take her to task for that? >> look, look into it, but the word knowingly, that the federal government is knowingly doing this, i have a problem with that. i think that's a little bit over the top, and i think that's just meant to get us talking about i- kennedy: yeah. we should trust the federal government, right, shane? they would never knowingly put anyone in harm's way with, would they? >> yeah. the democrats and republicans have both had supermajorities,

heavy both had the presidency, they've done nothing about this for as long as i've been an adult. this is the problem with the democrats and the republicans and the amount of funding that they get, they're never going to do anything about this. 2003 lain are maxwell and her -- ghislaine maxwell and her client list are still out there. she's in prison because she was trafficking minors. we're talking about pedophilia, and nobody from the if entertain entertainment, from government, from bureaucracy, they've been doing this since william barr and george bush sr., since the golden triangle days in the south pacific. it has been rampant throughout central and south america for decades now. and this is because democrats and republicans allowed the bure to rock says -- bureaucracies wholesale, carte blanche, do whatever you want to do, traffic the drugs, traffic the kids, traffic whoever you want, and we won't say anything about it. nobody from the democrats and nobody prosecute republicans is going to do a darn thing about my of this.

kennedy: the golden rhode island angle is the name of a waxing studio next to my apartment. [laughter] >> oh, my god. kennedy: i'm just trying to put the pieces together here. i'm just trying to get to the truth. [laughter] lady and gentlemen. >> i hope not. kennedy: i think i saw you there, chris. no judgment, not from me. not from -- >> i've got a back problem, i'm sorry. i don't want that the -- kennedy: you know what? they can get in there. that's how good they are. >> yeah, it hurt. [laughter] kennedy: you're telling me. alexandra, will we ever see anyone here brought to justice? >> well, like i said, you know, now that republicans are taking control of the house, i really do hope this is one of the investigations they do focus on. i hope that there are not a lot of extraneous investigations and that we really hone in on the things that are very important like this one. but, look, like, i think that the democratic party has to acknowledge that there is a problem. they have to acknowledge that we

have a wide open border with criminal activity the going on that is just unacceptable if we are to remain a sovereign country. and i think until somebody stands up or critical masses them, stand up and say them, it's going to be difficult -- kennedy: you know what we need? randolph scott. i want to thank you, party possible. it's nice to be back on -- party panel, it's nice to be back on hump night. you all made great points. even you, chris.

♪ everybody, yeah, rock your body, yeah ♪ kennedy: that's right. we've all gotten scam e-mails and false promises of free money, but usually they're from that nice ugandan boy, not the federal government. in move 9 million americans received e-mails from the department of education saying they'd been approved to receive is student debt relief, but it was all a lie. the student loan handout was on hold at the time, and in 2023 it's expected to be canceled for good by the supreme court. so how will president biden make up this latest blunder to his base? here with me now, fox news legal correspondent and an anchor of "fox news sunday," shannon bream is back. welcome back. >> it's great to see you, kennedy. kennedy: i love "fox news sunday," i'm not even gonna lie. >> we love you too. kennedy: i don't know if you're talking about this this coming weekend, but i have to tell you

a i know a lot of people who applied, they got that e-mail, and it was the all a complete farce. do you think when they launched -- i say the program, but it was an executive order -- did they know that it was illegal and it would be challenged? >> they had to know there would be legal challenges, and one of their top arguments in this briefing that hay filed with the supreme court trying to get these lower court rulings to put the whole thing on hold to get those tossed out so so the program could start again, part of the argument was, hey, so many people have relied on that, now they don't know what to do, they don't know they should pay or not pay, so you need to let the program go forward which is, you know, a tough argument to make. because then the executive branch. , whether it's a republican or democrat, could decide at any point i'm going to start this program. i know it's going to get challenged in court, and i'm just going to say, well, we can't get rid of it now, so the supreme court's going to have to wade through all of that stuff. i don't think they're going to find that as the most persuasive

argument. kennedy: given the makeup of the court, how could they potentially come down on this? is there a way of kicking it back to the lower courts even though you had a split decision in one? >> anything is possible, but here's what i would predict: this court, whether it's the obama administration, the trump administration and now the biden administration, has not been big fans of what they see as an overreach of power by the executive branch. he was told previous presidents and other executive agencies, you can't do this. this is probably something leavitt for congress. you can't just use your pen, your paper and your phone and conduct major policy changes that way. i think they're going to be pretty skeptical about this. remember when the cdc during covid said, well, now we're just going to tell the everybody that evictions are over because there's covid emergency, and now we're going to say nobody can get kickeded out if they can't pay their rent. the court said this is something left for congress, you can't just make these sweeping, federal agency, decisions or decisions from the white house. i tend to think given their

recent years and precedent that they're going to say no go on this student loan program, at least not in the form that it's been done by the white house. kennedy: yeah, i think you're absolutely right. it's just too big, it's too much money. and you can't have president after president picking a pet project in order to appeal to a group of voters and then just spending billions is and billions of dollars and putting that on the backs of taxpayers who don't benefit prosecute program who didn't go to college. it is a horrible precedent for future presidents, and i think you are absolutely right. was this just a quick grab for votes on the part of the president and the administration? >> yeah. and even, you know, not conservative, right-leaning organizations like "the washington post" had a piece about in that said -- because you know for now while the legal stuff is playing out, the administration has extended through probably roughly june, and the washington post is saying this is starting to look

like a serious vote-grab in the midterms. there are skeptics right, left and center. kennedy: they were right to be skeptical, you are right to watch shannon on sundays. thank you so much for being here tonight, i appreciate it. >> see ya, kennedy. kennedy: topical storm is next featuring an all new kenne-dog! woof.. ♪ you'♪ thing on my mind. thankfully, voya provides comprehensive solutions and shows me how to get the most out of my workplace benefits. voya helps me feel like i've got it all under control. voya. well planned. well invested. well protected.

to pay me to spend a decade in the bronx. the contract makes aaron the highest paid position player in baseball history and the second highest paid judge in american history.

luckily, this turtle learned the art of jiu-jitsu from a rat in new york city. these two circled each other for 10 minutes before the turtle bit the shark's tail and turned it away making in the biggest failure since mr. wonderful recommended ftx. thanks, you jerk. topic number four, an illegal magic mushroom shop has opened in the city of roses, portland, oregon. while portland police say they're shocked to learn it's illegal. at least according to its chief physicians, dr. dre, dr. pepper and dr. jill biden since opening the store, it's seen lines around the block. they can't believe it's the actually real. they say the same thing about the glowing rell are fs who a-- elves who appear on their shoulders. that's a big deal in portland, because almost everyone there lives in a tent.
