[closing bell rings] shopify ceo joins us on monday. give us exclusive on all the

sales. markets close in the green. have a good one. david: welcome to a special edition of "kudlow," i'm david asman in for larry kudlow today. america is on high alert after a car explosion between the rainbow bridge crossing between buffalo, new york and canada. authorities report it was a terrorist attack that killed the two people in the car. fbi is there, but there is not much left of the car frankly which was loaded with explosives. gerri willis has the details for us. >> reporter: david, that's right. we're classifying this as an incident. lots of questions what happened this afternoon about 1:00 at the new york border with canada, u.s. canadian border. we call it the rainbow bridge. that is where an explosion of a car happened. two people died. this is very close to niagra falls if you're not familiar with the area. the tsa operating at a heightened security posture, pardon me after the explosion

which resulted in the death of two people inside of that car. you can see the rainbow bridge right here. a border patrol officer was also injured. here is what happened, the incident involved explosion of a car said earlier to be packed with explosives. there are some questions about that. this was at the entrance to the bridge. fire ensues, the pair were driving in the direction of canada from the u.s. we've got an eyewitness account of that event. listen. >> it went airborne. the vehicle began to turn sideways and went under something overhead and then it hit something over there and my prayer was just, please don't let it any of the officers you know, get hit over there. then all of a sudden black smoke. no explosion. we all heard, the people in the building heard it, metal on metal. then all of a sudden i saw black smoke and then fire. >> reporter: so we're just getting information now in from alexis mcadams our reporter at

fox. she is saying she talked to two high level law enforcement sources and they told her they believe two men in a stolen car were trying to cross into canada when they started driving erratically, went up on the median to avoid cpb officers, why they crashed at a high rate of speed and the car went up in flames. sources tell her the bomb techs said the explosion was so big and fierce all authorities thought it was a terrorist attack. it is still being treated as a possible attack as airport and government buildings were shut down there. now i just want to add here, that the all hands are on deck, right? the buffalo office of the fbi is leading the investigation with the assistance of local and state law enforcement. canadian law enforcement is involved. situation still fluid. we're looking for more facts. prime minister trudeau weighing in, four border crossings are closed and additional measures are being contemplated.

he describes this as a very serious situation. it is important to understand the new york congressional delegation members, saying all border crossings between new york an canada are giving scrutinize every car that tries to pass through. mayor adams saying the city was already on heightened alert due to the upcoming holiday. we'll follow it all afternoon. we'll keep you update the if we get something breaking here that you need to hear about but understand that buffalo international has been closed for departing arriving and international flights. the situation is still fluid, david. i will send it back to you. obviously not the kind of news you want on thanksgiving eve. david: certainly not. above all is the safety issue but imagine all those people getting ready to travel for thanksgiving? people right in the middle of it. a lot of their plans will be drastically altered. gerri, thank you very much for that. i appreciate it.

let's bring in paul mauro, retired nypd inspector and attorney. paul, great to see you. i will read to you something because everything is changing minute by minute. authorities are still treating this as a possible terror attack, however, our alexis mcadams who is up there talking to people says two high level law enforcement sources say they believe two men were in a stolen car. they were trying to cross into canada when they started driving erratically, and they went into the median in to avoid officers that were following. that is when the car apparently became airborne and exploded. the explosion was believed to be explosives because of high explosive content they had because of the accident that still killed them a lot is still not known, what from everything you heard what do you think? >> let's take a flyer on this. marrying desair rat points on this, i'm leaning away from terrorism. the authorities have to do it

treating it as possible terror attack. david: of course. >> first counter fact alwayses. when was it stolen, if it was recently stolen, will not have a whole lot of time to pack this thing. >> good question. >> in it was planned -- david: that is something authorities can find out. >> who reported it stolen if it was not reported stolen yet go to see the owner, when did you he last see the car. another data point i got on pretty good source, the car entered the rainbow bridge or made, attempted to make a u-turn. this would marry up to what gerri willis said which was the most informative report i heard yet, which i understand she is getting from alexis mcadams. sounds to me like joyride gone bad. they got onto the bridge. the bridge is very long. you know it well. you have chance to build speed. david: it is but it isn't. we have other bridges, we have to be clear about this. i walked across this bridge many time. i used to travel on the bridges. it is a beautiful view.

you can see part of niagra falls, there. you can walk it 15, 20 minutes. not like the george washington bridge. >> no, my point it has the capacity of a car to build up real speed. david: going into that entrance, yes. >> that might be what occurred here and, doesn't sound like, according to that witness that after the car started to smoke there was some tremendous detonation which is again what you would expect if this thing was rigged for explosives. just off the data points that we have, take a step back, slow it down, i'm leaning away from terrorism right now. david: forensics will not be easy here because the thing secondly was blown to smithereens as alexis said which is good way of putting it. there will not be a lot of stuff they get from the bodies, right? >> they will reverse engineer off the data points, what do we have? hopefully of two people in the car but certainly the plate. if the plate comes back to something stolen that is a dead end.

you will have to start look at the two guys. if there is enough to identify them, have i.d. own them, et cetera, will identify hot characters are. they will also look at the latest threats they had. did they have anything that occurred in social media that mentions the rainbow bridge or mentions anything about canada? do the canadians know anybody here that could be relative to the entire situation. there will be a lot of meetings here. unfortunately a lot of people have had their thanksgiving ruined because the folks will work through the night. david: you have to err on the side of caution. >> i have been there. you thought you were going to dinner with your family, think again. you have got the job. david: on the other hand here is what fbi director wray said couple weeks ago realizing the situation in the middle east might spill over into our domestic situation. roll tape. >> here in the united states, other most immediate concern is violent extremists, individuals or small groups, will draw

inspiration from the events in the in the middle east to carry out attacks against americans going about their daily lives. david: so what do you think? >> so i think that what we have here if you look at hamas and hezbollah, all right, which are the two organizations that everybody's talking about, they don't project power overseas generally. hezbollah has in the past in argentina in the 1990s. david: sure did. >> but not in america. not domestically here. look you can never say never because we're in unprecedented times. david: hezbollah had an explosion in argentina well that killed a couple hundred people. they do have capacity. >> they do. david: they have got money, they have got resources not only from iran by the way. we actually, in september of of 2001, there was a bust after hezbollah group, only bust here in the united states, were transporting cigarettes from north carolina get them cheap, send them up in new york, make millions, send them back to

hezbollah. there was a hezbollah cell here in the united states. it was overlooked because of the event in nine eleven but it has happened here and there are people in jail right now hezbollah members in u.s. jails right now because of that. >> i ran a lot of these cases and you're exactly right. the way they look at america is a piggybank. same thing with hamas, who has hamas folks tied to hamas central and diaspora, they send and taxes and arbitrage between the states. new york as highest sin taxes in the country especially for cigarettes. it was at a point there was a van full of cigarettes worth more than a van full of marijuana. at least 50% of the cigarettes sold in bodegas in new york city don't have a tax stamp or have a fake tax stamp. david: i have to talk about the border. it is leaking like a sieve.

homeland securities & exchange commission claims it is secure we know it's not. six, seven, to eight million of migrants came across since president biden electing there is possibility they can slip through without somebody knowing? >> that is something that is new. you didn't have people with complete clean skins entered through the country southern border frictionless. generally came in something about them, cpb scraped them at border, have biometrics, with a passport. you generally know they are. if you got somebody, happened very rarely, got somebody no data points, human sources are telling you this guy is trouble that would be an enormous spin-up. only happened two or three times in my career. now it is a daily risk. they're coming in the country, they don't know who they are, mayorkas, i don't say this lightly, i don't like the tit-for-tat, mayorkas should be impeached. i have never seen such law

enforcement darryl election of duty. david: paul you ended on opinionated note, you gave no spin, no spin on what might be going on here. paul mauro. great man. >> thank you. david: turning to israel, a deal was reached to free at least 50 israeli women and children held by hamas terrorists which includes a four-day pause in fighting. lucas tomlinson has the details for us now. lucas. >> reporter: well, david president biden is thankful and hopeful this deal gets all american hostages out. that is up to 10 of them. now last night shortly after arriving here in nantucket the white house releasing a statement in president biden's name, saying quote as president i have no higher priority than insuring the safety of americans held hostage around the world. the deal should bring home additional american hostages. i will not stop until they are all releed. officials say there was pressure on the white house helped to get this deal over the finish line. former secretary of state mike pompeo says there was pressure

from israel, not the white house that got this done. >> make no mistake about it, israelis must continue their effort. the reason these hostages are coming home, if they do, the reason they will be returned to the families is because of enormously good work the israelis have done. >> reporter: democratic senator bernie sanders putting the blame squarely on israeli prime minister netanyahu for the rising civilian death toll saying in a statement, while israel has the right to go after hamas, netanyahu's extremist right-wing government does not have the right to wage total warfare against the palestinian people. republican lawmakers say there should be pressure on the white house is getting in the way of israel winning the war. >> from the biden white house will only get greater, only get more significant to try to prevent israel from resuming its work to follow through on that commitment, and eliminating

hamas -- >> reporter: the white house says president biden will not be making any on camera remarks today in regards to that bombing also today in new york along the border with canada, david. david: they will have to say something very soon. lucas, thank you very much for that. appreciate it. let's bring in florida congressman cory littles for the latest on this. congressman, i know it is a moving target. we're talking about something that we have not nailed down at all yet but what are your thoughts about the explosion at our thorn border. >> well, david, thanks for having me on. i made a couple of different comments recently through my twitter. it looked to me if this was some type after potential probing attack. it also could have been if it is deemed an actual explosive-laden or vbied that has been utilized it could have also been a malfunction. you could have had a secondary triggerman. this ising commonly used in iraq, syria, other places, if there is a compromised mission,

if there is early detection that there is a secondary remote detonation that can go off. this could be utilized as diversionary for northern border with what is going on in the south. i continuously said the senate needs to take up the hr.2 border act and president needs to sign it as well. something to keep in mind, david, canada under prime minister trudeau they have not designated iranian irgc as an actual terrorist organization. david: great point. >> they are able to run rampant when it comes up in canada. so i look at this until i a get a post-blast analysis or further intel report i definitely still see this something could be utilized as potential terrorist attack as was earlier reported. i did talk to our leadership. i did urge our speaker, speaker mike johnson through my consultation and counsel with him to contact the president, urging him to immediately close all land border crossings both

on the north and south. i do understand this would have impact, supply chain trade and trucking that goes through but i think that the priority for us as elected officials is to protect the american citizens and that's my top priority right now. david: you know, congressman, you talk about canada and hamas, i would talk about canada and hezbollah. >> that's right. david: canada i mentioned with paul mauro moments ago had a operation here in the united states t had a cell operating. they were busted because they were illegally transporting cigarettes across state lines and sending the money back to hezbollah. point of fact a couple of members sent mere arrested and sent to jail, before they had a chance to be arrested they skedaddled up to canada where they received status made them immune for any exportation to trials in united states. canada has been loose not only

on ham a mass but hezbollah. iranian state sponsor of terror and hamas itself. we know hezbollah has been a key element. we know that after the successful counterterrorism operation by president trump to eliminate quds force commander quassem soleimani, in order to get closer to to ayatollah, head of hezbollah had him marry former head of soleimani ace irgc daughter. he was heading operations in iraq and syria other areas. the china, russia, iran, north korea political alignment axis of evil is more emboldened with this weak administration. regardless of all of that this is complete failure by the biden administration, who secretary mayorkas who could sponsored impeachment articles. i see your current guest or last guest said he should be

impeached but lloyd austin for afghanistan there is laundry list of failures that continue to threaten american lives. david: we just had both the head of dhs, both mayorkas and the fbi director speaking before congress about the border. i found nothing but evidence provided particularly by mayorkas that was contrary to what we can see with our own eyes that those borders are actually open? >> that's right, david. same thing you see the american people see as well, david. you're exactly right. david: i have to jump in, you had nine republican congressman who voted against his being impeached? so that is not going to happen if you have republicans voting against his impeachment unless you're trying to put pressure on them and introduce it one more time? >> well i think that we have to look at other leverage points. look as a constitutionalist article i we have power of the purse. while we need to fund responsibly the government and stop this out of control spending that led us to 34 trillion-dollar spending

abyss we have to also look at leverage points we hut pr 2 as policy rider to insure it gets through and force chuck assume irand mitch mcconnell in the senate to do their job. let joe biden threat own to veto it the same way he did on d.c. crime bill and others. i agree. we need republican congress united. impeachments guess these with dereliction of duty. we must keep our borders safe. that is what our job is. david: congressman cory mills. good to see you, sir. thank you very much for being with us. >> thank you, david. david: coming up we bring you the latest on the incident at the new york-canada border and discuss the 2024 election with steve forbes and monica crowley all when "kudlow" continues. ♪.

border patrol, is suggesting leaning toward reckless driver resulting in vehicle crash and fire, but, it is a big but, no one is ruling out a deliberate attack but early evidence does not indicate that. monica, the problem here is americans have lost a lot of trust in what the cpb has to say about all of this. the border patrol agents are one thing but what is coming directly from the department of homeland security is suspect right now. that faith in the government that we used to have at moments of crisis like this is not there right now. >> this is a huge program. huge problem. there is collapse of our institutions and authority because we've been lied to for so long, a lot of americans will hear what the authorities have to say, you know, i want more facts but i want to hear it from somebody else. this is very unclear at this

point. we don't have any names of two individuals who were in the car. david: they were, they were pretty bad shape. so we may never get that, so. >> that will be very unfortunate. david: there are other -- >> looks like they're starting to soft pedal a initial kind of terrorism assessment. it remains to be seen but i have to tell you earlier in the day we had from washington a terror alert or at least a elevated notice of terrorism with new york state as a specific target. david: yes. >> then this afternoon this incident. david: steve, just as we were talking with paul mauro, just a couple weeks ago we had secretary of the department of homeland security mayorkas again saying that the border is secure. we all know that is not true. it is just a flat-out lie, which should be grounds for impeachment, i believe. that is my personal opinion but i'm wondering if what's happened here doesn't help to change the focus alittle bit of election campaign itself to national security? >> well, and the fact is that

everyone can see as you say at the border its was not secure and he should have been removed from office a long time ago but what this also gets to, david, we don't know who is coming into this country. we don't know what cells are being set up here to do something bad. that hezbollah, that attack hamas, terrorist attack against israel that had been planned for probably two years, planting people in, get information from the kibbutz, no attack on october 7th terrible day, that was done in advance. what's happened unfolding here? we don't know. that's absolutely criminal. >> you know it has been reported since joe biden opened the border both the northern border and the southern border, it has been reported as late as like two weeks ago at the end of october that the northern border had more suspected terrorists interactions with customs and border patrol than the southern border. so a grand total of about 505

suspected terrorists on the watch list have been either apprehended or acknowledged in some way by cpb. 429 of them were apprehended or had some sort of interaction at the northern border. so the northern border seems to be where it is most porous at least for suspected terrorists, we have seen cells, dealing with canada. there was a hezbollah cell as i mentioned before. we know this. there was not a question. there was a fact through fbi investigation. i went myself up to canada to track down one of these people from fox, we found him in british columbia. there was a hezbollah cell here in the united states after the 9/11 attacks. members went to canada for sanctuaries. they probably still provide them with sanctuary. as bad as the situation here with security it is worse in canada, steve. >> well that's the thing. how seriously are they taking it. the problem there too, we don't

make it an issue. we don't put it on trudeau and his government, what are you doing? what kind of intelligence sharing is there? we just don't know. that breeds distrust and worry about what could happen. david: monica, there is another point to be made here, which is the old reagan saying peace through strength. if you have a strong economy, you feel more secure about national security itself because the two things feed on each other. on the other hand if you have a weak economy after going through the spate of very high inflation we do have now, thank god we still have the trump tax cut in effect that's helping a little bit. with regard to reckless spend we have, overregulation, the loss of our energy independence, it makes us more vulnerable to attacks. >> it's crippled us in some ways. energy security is national security. economic security is national security. it is all interrelated and the american people have since joe biden has become president had this overall sense of unease

and uncertainty that they're not safe, whether it is in terms of the national security or their own family security. they can't walk down the streets because our cities are so crime-ridden. david: all related. >> out of control, with all the problems coming across across te border. there will be tremendous, tremendous political fallout for biden and democrats. david: steve, sort of ironic when happened here again we may not find it to be terrorism, this is the 60th anniversary of the assassination of jfk. jfk was a democrat we should hasten to add but a democrat who was strong on security. he was strong on defense of this nation from foreign enemies. at the time it was basically the ussr was our chief foreign enemy but he was very strong on defense but also strong on prosperity. he believed in lowering tax rates in order to stimulate the economy, in order to make us a more prosperous country. kind of shows you the distinction between a kennedy,

john f. kennedy democrat and the biden democrats, democrats now is huge. >> that's why a lot of democrats feel the party has left them. they're not leaving the party. ronald reagan said that back in the late 1950s. kennedy in that sense was an outlyer. he said the dollar should be good as gold and took measures to make sure the dollar didn't deappreciate in value. we didn't have earlier inflation we did in the later '60s. tax cuts, biggest in 40 years. so he did the right things. david: if jfk was alive today i think he would call himself a republican. >> republican. staunch anti-communist as well. he would not recognize the party. david: monica, steve forbes, thank you very much. coming up we will continue to monitor the situation at the new york canadian border. we'll talk about israeli-hamas hostage cease-fire deal with former "abraham accords," taliban negotiator, adam

♪ david: we'll continue to follow the story up north where there was an explosion at our border up in buffalo, new york, between buffalo and canada. let's bring in adam boehler, former taliban negotiator and former head of international development finance corporation. adam, i apologize for the change of stories. breaking news it does change a lot of things. you have had a lot of dealings in the past with terrorists, dealing with terrorists, what you know about them particularly as it has morphed over the years what we have now with hamas and hezbollah? do you think those folks are here taking advantage of a porous border? >> you know i think what i will start with, david, the way it makes us feel. you know what it reminds me of? it reminds me of the malaise of the carter administration where we have a situation with a weak economy and a weak foreign policy. david: yep. >> so the first thing we think

about here is terror, right? it just reminds me of the carter administration dynamics. you have to always be fearful what is going on in israel. it makes us feel that way. david: of course the difference between then and now, iran has become far more sophisticated than it was when carter was president. that was the beginning stages of revolution. they have had decades in power and built up all kinds of infrastructure, particularly on the international front, dealing with, supporting, financing terrorism around the world. they have that extra, extra jump if you will that would give them more abilities to sneak people in. nowadays you don't have to sneak people in. you walk across the border. we enabled it too, especially over last few years. the right thing to do here was cut them off economically. you see the economic input going into iran. the policy of appeasement, it's enabled that over the last few years which has enabled the situation you see now in israel.

david: now terrorists, part of that enabling, you see the deal made for the hostages. now i understand the human element here. you're desperately want those hostages to be saved. you would do anything in order to make that happen but the question is, do you hold on to, do you maintain the pursuit of hamas that israel justifiably began and does this pause in hostile actions affect that ultimate goal that israel has? >> i mean there is no question there is a reason why hamas is doing this. at the end of the day when you negotiate with terrorists, when i negotiated with the taliban they are terrorists. you have to recognize what they want but they also are 7:00 interested. why are they doing this? trust me it is not out of the goodness of their hearts. because they will regroup over the next four days. at the same time we have 50 people we can get out of there alive including americans, innocent women and children.

these are tough choices that you face in a situation like this but hamas will definitely take advantage of it. david: there are questions who they are getting back from israel, these 150 terrorists that israel has been holding. we remember, i think the name is pronounced. i can't i can't sinwar. he is a big hamas hon choi. yaya. he was given up in a hostage they had. could be these 150 prisoners that israel is giving up for their 50 could be back on the war front? >> look, there is a reason for doing it. hamas will regroup. 150 for 50. at the end of the day people were pulled from their cars, women and children, on the other side, these were people involved in attacks against israelis. there is no equivalence sy here but it is a tough choice. you have got 50 people coming home too. david: there is good news. the good news from my perspective the lies of hamas

and all of their supporters, we've seen their supporters pop up in every city in america practically, in universities, in ivy league universities their lies are disputed not only by israel itself which they say is just propaganda but by independent on searchers. our trey yingst just went to one of the tunnel systems that they had underneath one of the main hospitals, the al shifa hospital which all of the hamas supporters was saying was israeli propraganda. now we have independent observers like our trey yingst going in we're looking at videos that trey took earlier today. it really shows the world the lie that hamas has been living with. >> it is nonsensical. if israel wanted to destroy all the hospitals they could do it with push of a button immediately within two minutes. why go through a whole charade from this perspective. it is not clear what the explanation would be otherwise. israel was doing that for the

clear reason that trey showed. so i mean i, i'm not quite sure the other explanation that people would want to think it would be? >> i agree with you 100%. i felt the same way you did. obviously there are a lot of ill informed people that go along with the flow but they can't deny now, we have to get the pictures out everywhere where people are doubting that hamas are the tariffs that they really are. they did what we know they did on october 7th. they will continue to do that unless they're stopped in their tracks right now. adam, thank you so much for rolling with the punches here. adam boehler. >> thank you, david. david: i appreciate the work you've done for diplomacy in this nation, god bless you. joining us katie pavlich, town hall dod come, fox news contributor and hogan gidley, former white house deputy press secretary. hogan, let me start with you, when will we hear from the white house what happened up north? >> look in these times there are a lot of questions, more so than

answers. people are trying to get information. they're trying to make sure when they do convey that to the american people it is accurate, it is truthful. we've seen a real problem with that coming from this white house on a whole host of topics. this one they need to get right. people are heading out for thanksgiving, heading to airports, on airplanes, trying to get across the southern border, northern border. they're trying to mobilize move throughout this country. they need facts honesty, truth. what you don't want to hear no big deal if in in fact turns out to be terrorism. the white house needs to level with us, let the american people know what is at stake and what we're fighting here. i hate to go to this posture at this point because we have so many people coming across the southern around northern borders there are some concerns across this country. that is why joe biden is failing so miserably at the southern border. that is why the american people are concerned about his leadership. they understand quite frankly it is not by accident. this is by design.

david: katie, one word i think of is credibility. when the secretary of transportation buttigieg comes out and makes a statement about what's happening with travel, with thanksgiving day travel, when you consider what's happening unnorth with this border explosion, are people going to believe him? are people going to trust what he says? >> well look, the number one job of the commander-in-chief which is president joe biden is to keep the american people safe. now it's looking more like the situation was not a terrorist attack. that would be a very good thing but that doesn't erase the fact there are very serious threats this country faces and this administration has opened the southern border. there are hundreds of known tourists, also terrorists on the watch list caught at the border. there have been millions of people who have gotten away. there are millions of people who have been released on to the streets of american communities with no background checks and no

information about where they came from, other than they came from countries like yemen, countries that have terrorist hot spots all over the world and when you talk to border patrol agents working in arizona and texas they are highly alarmed what they're being asked to do every single day to release these unknown people into american communities without knowing who they are. most are adult single males. they don't know what their intentions are. it is pretty easy to understand common sense those are threats to americans and something this administration brushed off, actually lied to the american people saying the border is secure and they act like catching a couple hundred people on the terrorist watch list is a success rather than saying we're going to do everything we can to prevent that from happening again. david: of course, hogan, a lot of americans are looking at or thinking back to the afghanistan withdrawal where our commander-in-chief did not listen to his military advisors telling him not to give up the bagram airbase and a lot of other things that he didn't do, he thought he could do on his

own. again the question of credibility. are we in a situation where we might have an emergency and we don't have a dom mander in -- commander-in-chief that we trust? >> he just didn't listen lied about that he never got the advice at all. only later we found out he shouldn't do it the way he did it and he was hell-bent on the withdrawal. look at polls, when joe biden's popularity, anger with his policy it started to really show in all the poll numbers because the truth matters to the american people, you're absolutely right. it is transparency, lack of it from this administration they claim to be the most transparent. there is no accountability from this administration even though they get caught in lies time after time, the american people are suffering because of though policies. katie pointed it out that they precontinued these things are not happening but they are because of joe biden and his

policies. american people see that. they're upset. they're frustrated. why you see people like donald trump ahead of joe biden in head-to-head match up for president of the united states because this is what we feel out here. the white house is trying to say, no we spin it better the american people won't feel as inkry, they won't feel the brunt of economic burdens we placed on them but no amount of spin can fix what the american people know in their hearts, know in their pocketbooks, feel every single day has been caused by this administration. david: katie, finally, we used to have the expression of the loyal opposition. there was a certain respect for the other side as much as they would fight and politics has never been bean bag, it is serious stuff, but there was a loyal opposition. nowadays do we have that sound bite from joe scarborough? we do. let me play that sound bite from joe scarborough talking about trump. roll tape. >> he will imprison, he will execute whoever he's allowed to

imprison, execute, drive from the country. just look at his past. it is not really hard to read. again the only thing that stood between him and the destruction of american democracy, was the federal judiciary. david: all right. we basically run out of time, katie, what is your reaction to that. particularly what you think of used to be called the loyal opposition. >> it is completely unhinged. they're panicking because trump is beating biden in a lot of these polls on issues that matter to every american. finally it is projection. the left under barack obama, under. president biden: joe biden, barack obama did it as well, are ewing justice department to go after parent and families. weaponizeed the government against their political opponents. pure projection it was to say trump would do those things, quite literally the department of justice is doing it right now. david: katie, hogan, great stuff. thank you for, hire have a

wonderful thanksgiving. >> happy thanksgiving. david: coming up we'll discuss the fbi's role in the investigation of the situation of new york canadian border and why americans may have lost trust in the agency with gregg jarrett. he joins us next. liberty mutual customized my car insurance and i saved hundreds. with the money i saved, i started a dog walking business. i was a bit nervous at first but then i figured it's just walking, right?

hi, i'm jason and i've lost 202 pounds on golo. so the first time i ever seen a golo advertisement,

i said, "yeah, whatever. there's no way this works like this." and threw it to the side. a couple weeks later, i seen it again after getting not so pleasant news from my physician. i was 424 pounds, and my doctor was recommending weight loss surgery. to avoid the surgery, i had to make a change. so i decided to go with golo and it's changed my life. when i first started golo and taking release, my cravings, they went away. and i was so surprised. you feel that your body is working and functioning the way it should be and you feel energized. golo has improved my life in so many ways. i'm able to stand and actually make dinner. i'm able to clean my house. i'm able to do just simple tasks that a lot of people call simple, but when you're extremely heavy they're not so simple. golo is real and when you take release and follow the plan, it works.

david: joining me now is gregg jarrett, fox news legal analyst, author of, the constitution of the united states and other patriotic documents. gregg, we obviously still don't know what happened up north but what which do know the fbi has been on so many wild goose chases recently, going aftra additional catholics, going after school board members, saying white supremacy was the biggest question or biggest threat to the united states, not what might have happened up north. can you blame americans for being skeptical right now? >> not at all. you would have to be a fool or an idiot to trust our government and i say that reluctantly and sadly because trust is earned and yet our government, its agencies, the doj, the fbi, our intel agencies have squandered that trust and it is precisely what john adams wrote about. it is included in my book. he warned of unprincipled,

unscrupulous men if left unchecked would become ravenous beasts of prey and would destroy our constitutional republic and undermine our cherished freedom. 200 years later we saw the warning come to fruition. we saw it in the russian hoax and they're running a protection racket for the bidens. david: whether the chief envoy of iran was sharing information with the masterminds of terrorism, with iran itself. rob malley was a chief envoy to iran, now suspended because of his misuse of intel documents. you have only 10 seconds. go ahead. >> yeah, that is probably the tip of the iceberg. we have seen that kind of lawlessness, almost endem being in our own agencies that as i say, squandered our trust.
