in a lot of people who are turn out to be democrat voters, 5 or 15 years down the road, the price it is putting on american cities in particular heartland with fentanyl poisoning that is coming from china, you know if there was any country in world that was killing 70,000 americans a year, we would take that as an act of war, yet chinese are getting fentanyl across the border, drug cartels are in charge of the border, it and i real crises in america that your government fails to heed. elizabeth: got it, kt come back soon merry christmas to and you yours. >> merry christmas to you as well i am elizabeth macdonald thank you for joining us, watch us tomorrow night. >> breaking news, ukraine president zelenskyy moments from now to address a joint meeting of congress, rare honor for a foreign leader, but what affect will it have

on 10 month long war in ukraine? i am tom shillue in for kennedy, a look at capitol hill, zelenskyy to arrive any moment, and speaking with house and senate. and standing in the same place win w win -- churchill did. zelenskyy thanked president and american people for our support in the war. >> immigrate full to president biden. -- i am grateful to president biden for his personal, forth, his steps that unite the partners and global south. i am thankful for all of this, this visit to the united states became really a historic one for our relations with the united states and the american leadership. in the last 30 days of this

war, we have started a new phase. >> president biden said that u.s. will stand with ukraine no matter what. >> i've never seen nato or the eu more united about anything at all. and i see no sign of therebying a change. -- no sign of there bee anything change, we know what at stake here. this is about we have never seen a major invasion of a european country wins world war ii. they see no signs of this that -- that putin will do anything to change that unless we resist. >> but, this meeting in speech at a perilous time for ukrainians, winter, and russia reportedly gearing up for major offensive after 10 months of lose, russians are angry and desperate. ukrainians will soon have a powerful new tool, president

biden profiting to send patriot missile defense systems, d deal reportedly infuriating vladimir putin and the kremlin, warning that deal the wake it worse, will that have affect, joining me now ben domenech. we're ready for the speech, we saw press conference with president, how do you think it went from zelenskyy's perspective? >> i think from zelenskyy perspective this is going well, but in terms of american domestic perspective, i have a lot of questions about this, particularly the timing of it coming as a surprise for a lot of members of congress who are rushing to try to get things done in terms of keeping the government open and doing this very questionable omnibus package that is discussed. this really surprised a lot of them, and caught them in

unawares in terps of preparation for those who are trying to get out of town for holidays, i think that there is a mistake. we heard over past week. merrill lmitch mcconnell has said you look at actual poll data americans are concerns about domestic economy that we're spending too much overseas. and while president may claim that the eu is well aware of how dangerous russian's incursion is, they have not put their money where their mouth is, it is america that is funding to up hold ukraine, too many european nations particularly germany are not doing their fair share in terms of funding this effort, they are the actual neighbors, they are so much closer -- in proximity,

that white house has been unwilling to make europe pay their fair share with this. >> i was going to ask you, why the timing, from zelenskyy's perspective, basically he spent a lot of people when people had ukraine flags and social media, does it signal a softening of support, from your perspective, almost like this was. i do think that it probably something that was more from the perspective of the white house. zelenskyy. proving that the war's afford is going well enough to have confidence to give this kind of address. but, i think that it more about white house trying to say, you know we are doubling down on the idea that we're the defenders of democracy, after this long year where we have been you

know, pointing th finger at other side, saying republicans are dangerous and the like. i think that it something that for this white house, is not going to actually be read as we head to holiday season as being putting interest of american people front and center, with the amount of money we're spending on our own energy bills and costs for deliver christmas. america is more concerned whether or not there is enough tylenol on the shelves, this is where the amount of money that we're sending in their direction is valid concern to a lot of americans. >> yeah, and i think, republicans have to show their concern. it is the voters i think -- if anyone is more anti-war i would say the republican voters, and they are probably putting pressure on the politicians, so far, they have been willing to go

ahead and say okay we'll give them what they want, do you think there will be a credible movement on the republican side? i know there are a few lawmakers who want to stop the funding now, but do you think it is possible that they could must muster votes and say we're not giving more money. >> i don't think that will be the way it plays out, in part because of the way that midterm turning out, so many different candidating that were raising questions about the funding who failed when it came time for voters to go to poll, had it gone differently there would be more voices in the room, i think there will be a strong push for oversight, you know fact that we're sending money in so many different directions there that demand that we look at it and make sure that it is going to right places, particularly in times of war, this is a area where a lot of corrupt people make a lest money, a -- lot of money, that

is out of experiencing, this is a situation where americans should feel good about what we've done to this point, we should demand more of our european allies and others to fund this effort it will continue to be costly, and it will continue to be something that the american taxpayers cannot afford to be only people on the hook for. >> thank you ben. >> in less than shocking news, putin is furious about zelenskyy's trip. president biden today stirring the pot, confirming more money and more weapons for ok ukraine. >> we've given ukraine what they needed when they needed, since the invasion that has resulted in more than 20 billion in terms of security a, today i approved 1.8 billion, national

assistant to ukraine for it to succ succeed on the battlefield. >> russia ramped up attack on key infrastructure in ukraine, putin admitted that the situation is complicated, but he has no plan of slowing down, what affect will zelenskyy's trip have to the battlefield? joining me now to discuss, former army special ops intel analyst, bret velicovich . could this visit, new support by president biden could it make it more difficult? are we seeing angry putin? >> i think we're always see an angry putin, but ukraine war is backfiring on him. we're seeing that at a tactical and str level, russia is losing soldiers on

the battlefield as a staggering rate, they are aggravating vladimir putin, he has been unable to achieve his objectives, russia wants ukrainians to bow down, they will never do that. they will fight. and what russia has done to their country men, mothers and daughters and children, the war crimes, you know putin has done something he will not be able to come back for, for decades, he has to watch his back, they will not forget the war crimes. and you know if anything right now, i think it is time for more weapons and more support from u.s. dod . we need to provide them with opportunities to defend themselves, that is more drones, you have the great american companies, rising to thetcasion on build and supply the state of the art

materials, without companies like them without u.s. government, the ukrainian people, the world would suffer and i think that russians would have more of this battlefield occupied. thanks to everyone involved that has been supporting ukrainians. >> president biden was asked about this today, and also marc thiessen said, he thought that the president had slow rolls support for the ukrainians, he was just giving whatever he could give at the beginning, now we come out with the bigger guns? do you agree with that. some say perhaps if we had big guns earlier maybe it would be further along for the ukrainians? >> no, i agree with that, there was always a possibility of that, i spent a lot of time to front lines, every time i would hear state department announce a new round of were

shipment it is rare to quickly see them on the battlefield, it was more they just didn't know what was needed. they didn't know how to get it out there quick enough, but now there is a steady supply of shipments, they know what ukrainians need, they understand what is happening every day on the battlefield, and you know putin, he continues with these various speeches about his way ahead in ukraine, one thing that was interested with the latest speech, he mentioned how complicated it was in ukraine, he has yet to admit, but he also talks about he wants his security agency to start identifying traders and spies, that is telling, it is things are blowing up in russia, you have shopping centers and military basis and oil facilities that are blowing up in there. and you have to think that ukrainians have a number of sabotage groups doing that work. now russians are feeling it

on their own soil, that is a difficult thing for putin to continue to lie it his people, telling them things are rosie. >> thank you, brett. >> people have spoken, and elon musk will step down as ceo as soon as he finds a replacement. who could that be? party panel will join me to discuss, next.

if you used shipgo this whole thing wouldn't be a thing. yeah, dad! i don't want to deal with this. oh, you brought your luggage to the airport. that's adorable. with shipgo shipping your luggage before you fly you'll never have to wait around here again. like ever. that can't be comfortable though. shipgo.com the smart, fast, easy way to travel.

that i was facing and making it more difficult for me to sustain weight loss. golo has been more sustainable. i can fit it into family life, i can make meals that the whole family will enjoy. it just works in everyday life as a mom. tom: elon musk said he the find a replacement ceo at twitter after he posted a poll on his twitter page, asking if he should step down. 57.5% voted yes he should. there has been a growing backlash of musk after making new rules and reversing them. he said he will still run software and server teams once he steps down, who should fake over of crow -- takeover as ceo, joining me now is our party panel. alexandra wilkes.

and kevin walling and independent women's forum senator policy analyst, irk -- inez stepman. what is elon musk doing? >> i think that it was his intention to buy the company, you know institute some safeguards that have been missing for a long time. getting to the bottom of what has been happening. he has done that successfully, but, we know that he is a big thinker. and that he has many big projects out there. not really a surprise to me that i think he wants to get going. personally, as someone who hating traffic, i hope the hyperloop is first on the list. to create underground tunnels, but i don't think that this is really a surprise. it will be interesting to see what comes next under his ownership. tom: yeah.

i agree. i think he always wanted someone to take over the day-to-day operations, h he put a poll out. he likes to do things to bring attention to his platform, kevin. democrats are leaving twitter saying this is it. he is elon musk, he makes electric cars, shouldn't democrats love him? >> i don't know about, that i'm not leaving the platform, you know elon musk is a start businessman. what have we been talking about, but twitter. and you know he is out there tweeting that servers are working in hyper drive because of 97 engaging on not form, he is a start -- everyone engining on the platform, he is a smart guy and getting pressure from other stock holders at tesla, you have seen.

to your point in terms of the electric vehicles, stock of tesla has dropped in last fflee 3 months over 50%. he is a smart business guy, it was always his intention to find a new ceo. tom: inez stepman. you look at that stock price down, that and i think the economy as well. do you think that tesla shareholders are saying, get back here do the cars and do the rocket ships? >> yes, very possible, by the way i love to see all of the liberals in silicon valley, where i am from who bought teslas a signal of their virtue and cash flow. i want to point out that musk is still running a very

important part of twitter that i think we're kind of under estimating about digital public square. i think he is a danger to the lift in a different way, in addition to that. that is he is proving you can run a big tech company by firing 70% of the staff, there are a lot of six-figure, comfortable jobs that have basically been ideological enforcement, there are a lot of people making a lot of good money doing the political officer job at the fortune 500 companies in the hr department and diversity departments, i think that this puts a bullseye on a lot of people's jobs, that is why i think a lot of upset. tom: a lot was the fbi money. we have a minute, let's go down the line, is there suggestions for a ceo? peter teal?

>> i don't think anything about this. i think hunter biden should run it he has demonstrated track record as his pr firm, we should decide who gets kicked off twitter by a jury of your peers, if you tweet wrong thing about what toppings you want on your pizza. tom: any names kevin? >> i have the perfect one barack obama. he is out of a job. he has the number job largest twitter following, he would be perfect to run twitter. tom: maybe, alex? >> i suggest the guy who created the chick-fil-a drive through, what efficiently and customer service. tom: and they have the ipads, they take your order before you get near them. okay, panel stick around. >> coming up republicans split on spend, senate pushing through a 4,000 page bill, and house members want

to nuke it wait until you hear how some g.o.p. senator respond. >> in in city mayor eric adams is urging people to mask back up for the holidays. are the mandates coming? they better not, the panel will return in moments. i was born on the south side of chicago. it has been a long road, but now i'm working for schwab. i love to help people understand the world through their lens and invest accordingly. you can call us christmas eve at four o'clock in the morning. we're gonna always make sure that you have all of the financial tools and support to secure your financial future. that means a lot for my community and for every community. hey guys, detect this: living with hiv, i learned that i can stay undetectable with fewer medicines. that's why i switched to dovato. dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen.

detect this: no other complete hiv pill uses fewer medicines to help keep you undetectable than dovato. detect this: most hiv pills contain 3 or 4 medicines. dovato is as effective with just 2. research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit hiv through sex. don't take dovato if you're allergic to its ingredients, or if you take dofetilide. taking dovato with dofetilide can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while on dovato. don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor, as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems... if you have a rash or other allergic reaction symptoms, stop dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. dovato may harm your unborn baby.

use effective birth control while on dovato. do not breastfeed while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. detect this: i stay undetectable with fewer medicines. ask your doctor about switching to dovato.

inez stepman, alexandra wilkes, and kevin walling, this is an omnibus, that sounds evil. will they get away with just passing this? >> they have so many times before, i don't think why this would be different. other than i will point out, my standards for politicians are extremely low for the republican party, they have betrayed their voters so many times, i did think he could count on politics to do was be partisan at bare minimum. the way that republican senate is allowing this to go through, they are circumscribing the power of the house, one of the few powers they will have. it would be to spend priorities, you could set a lot of policy vi at budget negotiations and now they are not going to have that really important tool in their tool box. the senate republicans are really taking a tool out of the hands of kevin

mccarthy, i could see why he would join this effort. tom: kevin, you know, i'm thinking you might like this infighting, this is republican against republican. and the democrats are like, you can fight it out w we'lls that it. >> as your democrat on panel, i am happy to take a step back and let them fight among themselves, this week. their fighting with one another. you saw republicans senator saying, let us do the governing to the republican colleagues, across the house. it is fascinating to see, it was negotiated with the republicans at the table in senate, they agreed to this, leader schumer and mcconnell would not bring it to a vote if they did not believe they had votes to pass, number one motivating factor, it is christmas eve saturday, you can't doubt how much of a motivate or that is for the folks to get

the heck out of town. tom: very true, they love that. alex. >> they do. tom: the -- look spending out of control, it is not, you probably don't remember you are too young to remember contract with america, newt gingrich days, you may be too young to remember tea party movement there was a time that republicans were united saying no more spend, it keeps come together happened through president trump, what happened to fiscal control on the republican side? >> i think that it is sort of got gotten lost in trappings of washington, washington's growth has exploded at th the expense of the rest of the country. i think that it is an ab

-- they are tired of told at the end of the year we have to pass a t trillion dollar bill. i don't blame governments for flexing their muscles a little bit. they have every right to call into question some of the priorities, i hope it forecasts from return to fiscal conservatism in the term to come. tom: at least, at least show some level of fighting. inez, a great article from mollie hemingway about senate leader, does anyone like mitch mcconnell? no one likes mitch mcconnell. we all know that, republican or democrats, why is he still so powerful?

>> because the people within washington, d.c., they do like him. and i think against this is really shocking, he is the head of a branch of the republican party. he made it clear time against speaking of tea party, clear then too, he would rather lose republicans in office than have republican in office who disagree with his priorities of for example passing this kind of omnibus bill, he would rather have party have fewer seats as long as there are fewer people who are a thorn in his side from his open party in this g.o.p. civil war, i think mollie is 100% right and mitch mcconnell has not been a good leader for the republican party for a long time, everyone ties this to donald trump. mitch mcconnell has not been a good leader, representing priorities of republican base voters for a very lolong time, i think it's time for him to go.

tom: speaking of things that nobody likes, masks are back, winter i illnesses reportedly on the rise new york city mayor eric adams said time to mask back up. >> how do we enjoy the holidays and spread love without spreading the virus? we could have that combination everything that you filing ill to stay home -- feeling ill to stay home, make sure if you are in surroundings that are unsure about you wear a face covering and crucial to make sure that you are vaccinated and take your booster shots. tom: yeah. all of the stuff, i could not understand him, he had a mask on, how soon before the mandates come back? is it possible? ththat -- the people would try to mask us back up? a real way? >> it is already happening

here in northern new jersey. there is a school district, requiring masks for children. returning to school. this week. i just think that after the terrible learning loss and the affect we've seen on our children as a result of these mandates for adults in power to be doing this is irresponsible. we could see it in our own lives, the people around us who are sicker than they have been before. with illnesses and affects that are so terrible, because nobody has been able to build up immunity over the last couple of years, this is not the way we were meant to live or children meant to 1 to learn, for people who support the mandates it is is all about power, keeping people under there are thumbs, reminding them who is boss.

tom: i can't believe, that they will do it to the kids. >> they can't fight back. tom: parents will keep their kids home and i think that teacher union want that, they want to be done, i think that teacher unions want zoom learning,. >> kevin, democrats have been more pro mask than republicans. the -- but nobody likes it, there are signs everywhere, in the airport, but no one is doing it everyone come to 2eterms with this, this seems like a political loser for democrats why to people like adams keep calling for them. >> there is a personal decision. everyone hates these, they disrupt learning, they are annoying as hell, we have 13 million americans who are sick with either covid, rsv or the flu. we have lost just over 7,000 americans thus far this season. i'm about personal responsibility. personal decision making.

mask up if you have any of these conditions, get your booster, i've been boosted this season. just because i really don't want to get sicker it should be up to each individual to make their decision on their behalf. tom: yeah, i've been looking at data on boosted people not looking good for these -- the affects of that boosters they don't last, inez, i think all these things that democrats are maybe they are still signaling they want some of these covid restrictions in place, they don't know what to, to they have failed -- they know they have failed, i think that everyone except most h among us have moved on. >> whatever we do now it is permanent. there is no rational effifor continuing these interventions. we're 25 talking flu and

rsv, they have been around forever but our reaction is different, i believe with what alex said, and one caveat to what you said, the teachers unions are happy to continue zoom school as long as they can keep getting same amount of money for not doing their jobs. we need parents leverage they need. we know that kids are -- for months and months year's we have data that kids are least affected among us by covid, these are political decisions, we had states in the pandemic that had casinos open and schools closed, there is no possible health rationale for that, authorize than political power of the teachers union, i hope this among other

school problems, i really hope that it push school choice across the line this round. tom: me too. maybe the you know casinos were open, they are so healthy in the casinos, a picture of healthy people. >> you -- you pull a lefter that p protects you from covid. tom: coming up. >> with christmas days away, scammers are working hard to take a grinch load from last minute shoppers, my next guest has the best tips to make sure you are safe. ♪ ♪ father christmas ♪ ♪ give us some money ♪ ♪ we'll beat you up ♪ ♪s ma father christmas, give usma yourna money ♪ ♪ tion
