went over independent and female voters and plus the nypd moves to level three mobilization out of for as anti- israel protesters chant long way - and christmas is canceled and brian and for elizabeth mcdonald evening at it starts right now. >> okay come 20 is now retired u.s. navy seal, mike's really observed 20 years as a recon a marine and cyber had a special operations command mike it's good have you with us let me start with justice reaction to the latest pushback of assay from biden on these attacks the critics are saying home of the biden's weakness on the world stage and have a taken a strong enough stance you think of the presidents response to these attacks that we have seen now lately in iraq and elsewhere in the region from our they strong enough. mike: o'brien for summing send my prayers to the families of the wounded especially to critically going to do, and this path of an action, is seating

for instability in this region, and you know lloyd austin use the language, this retaliation was necessary and proportionate, and attack of american troops, secular sovereignty we should retaliated after the first attack on americans there been over 100 attacks out and he comes in proportionality, it is left of the building and now we are trying regarding our actions through fear right now in fear of escalating this conflict between israel and hamas coding the larger regional conflict in the middle east know that you try to avoid certain conflicts come up headed by fear come you actually make them worse we may not realize it or not, but we may already be in war with iran and so i would employee or give advice to the administration that more decisive action needs to be taken both diplomatically, and militarily sue and let me

ask you more about that because you have around backed forces, expanding attacks on commercial shipping in the red sea and were all following this and today the claiming responsibility for another attack on a container ship, enemy mike, this looks like target practice, wearing their saying that we're going to protect the ships, were not going to do anything about the guys firing the weapons and what incentive does iran have to do anything except keep trying and maybe get that one out of 100 or one out of thousand to get through my to. mike: and yes brian, and experience base of 20 years of warm spring most of my adult life middle east level to you that the islamic culture respects power enemy summa bin laden said they see a strong horses the week percent it but he through the attracted to the strong horse and by this again this passive inaction, we are in bowling like rebuilding them aggressive actors in the region and for iran, and is say that

they have no influence over the actions yet in the same breath, say they want to shut down the mediterranean from thence complete nonsense had now, i think that the positive thing about nato know him up attacks in the red sea, is that the gulf cooperation council is a set no recourse but to take action because one seat the impartially will energy markets and people never over $10 billion of cargo goes through the canal as well so this is affecting egypt now. brian: so we run this argument you mention the second ago, the going to close the mediterranean they say, that sounds well honey and mike need to be that they have the power to do that but we have been from of these things before do the other bandwidth even if they cannot close it so to speak, then the bandwidth to do enough damage in terms of closing the mediterranean, the shipping problems become significantly worse quickly. mike: you have to wonder about

iran the strategic vision here and one from they do not have direct proximity to the mid- did they have naval forces in that area so does show the rhetoric does not match up with reality, and if you look at the strategic applications, liberty conduct attacks in the mediterranean, they would pretty much invite the wrath of european union and then also, further isolate themselves internationally and so will be a lose lose for iran and against the rhetoric will it is that evidence morning and a desperate entity that makes bold claims, just remain relevant and international headlines. brian: i agree with you and yet it seems we come that they do not have to wed have success, they just need to create enough disruption with the west so that we give up in the forces that are pro- hamas in the upper hand my concern here and ron seems bent on doing that we appreciate

your perspective and thank you for being with us today. mike: thank you brian. brian: the voters are growing increasingly frustrated with biden's handling of the economy has the approval rating his oregano in a new university full release last week, according to the bowling 4 percent of respondents approve about his job as president and nearly 70 percent disapprove of his handling of inflation but according to the president, it is the media that is to blame for not accurately covering the economy. >> then they cut me mature outlook the economy next year. >> it's all good, take a look, going the right way. brian: will already joining us now, present former committee chief economist, john and publican strategist garrett victory, a book of the above and john the me start with you, and by dispelling lower than any president in over 40 years and two thirds of americans of the economy is getting worse according to a new gallup poll

but his response is john, that it is good what you make of how the president is responding to americans repeated cries to do something different. john: well, joe biden now lives in a land of make-believe and americans are still suffering from prices that are much higher than they were back in 2019 and even though we had some easy price inflation and just looked out the utility price index, that is 25 percent above where it should be at the rate of utility growth maintain his face from the five years ending 2019 subsided as a huge inflation problem, i will add, we may have a very low employment rate, the payrolls are still growing, but the quality of newly created jobs appears to be levying summa

w were talks about the quality of the job creation figure it let me ask you a bit about the political side of this, the messaging 17 biden is not changing their messaging and from a strategy standpoint, what is another that americans just not smart enough to recognize her own situation where the banking on something else here. garrett: yes will that's absolutely right here and i think that this is a gaslight campaigning from the biden administration but nobody's buying and divided economic agenda is agenda broadly speaking is about as popular as a root canal right now and is a 34 percent are talking about and he is the lowest of his by seven predecessors here in terms of his approval rating here and people are not stupid and they can look the ball is in the can look at the death adeptly look at the 401k i think a look at mortgage rates and they can look just three or four years ago under president trump from them mortgage rates, you hear of a 7 percent basically inflation is still a problem three or four years later and we have record

inflation of one point of the devastated the american people about more debt than they've ever had and the wages are still are being outpaced by inflation there so things are going very poorly such as republicans, defendants and 85 percent of independence of investment he knew of the economy is 1 percent of the democrats do so it this is not just some republican created talking point your is people feel the national data and factual economy is not going well for tossing obviously is the sum of the worst problem is, the 60 percent of people think it will get worse on the next year, that's the problem going into 2024. brian: let me pick up in the john tierney coming roger, do you see any possibility that the economy could recover in a meaningful way in 2024 from that would help the presidents reelection bid. john: here's the problem, the economy recovers meaningfully, that means it will have faster growth, with an already growing loaf hundred when the rate for

the two together, new and up with a return of faster growing prices and you'll have another problem with price inflation and quite frankly, there is no room for the u.s. economy to pick up speed without having to pay the price of higher price inflation now there is a way out of this, if biden was to be bold enough evidence to reduce government regulation, if biden was bold enough to get rid of his green energy plants, renewable energy electrical vehicles subsidies and so on at the same time, perhaps the taxes for businesses, maybe could get away with faster growth without the price of faster price inflation c1 will john if i saw the current president of the united states to that i would fall right out of major and very happily so, and i would not see that happening in a week that live there, thank you both for being with us today.

and from pickering the supreme court rejected a special counsel jack smith, to fast-track trump's claim of presidential immunity leaving it in the appeals court stanza potentially telling the trials march 4th start date and former director of national intelligence john beckwith says must pursuit of justice is a partisan point to give trump out of the white house. >> i would argue that jack smith lost more than just a legal issue the report from a loss credibility i think that this was nakedly partisan and overtly political and it was revealed nato come to spring court downtown jack smith is operating. brian: enjoying is now former doj official and former federal prosecutor, nancy nsi cecile me start with trumps legal team here they are arguing that he is immune from jack smith criminal charges against him because the related to his duties as president and you think the court will agree with a trump

team so peel on this one. france: we know brian, and is interesting because i think you might, really knows that there's all kinds of people giving their opinions all sorts of lower court judges issuing opinions lawyers are talking about this but the truth is, we literally have never seen anything like this in the issue has simile never come up because the president serving a pass, has ever been prosecuted before the criminal justice system as we really do not know what the thousand presidential immunity are and there are certainly are nouns and there is presidential immunity and it does exist as a concept i thank you so going to take this up record company really way on this one once and for all. brian: the sophomore things going to the supreme court color an event trump for the mistake ballot we know that, and more states are pushing to do the same but interestingly come even california governor gavin newsom slamming attempts to block trump from estates ballot as a trumps attorney are saying, they're going to appeal colorado's link to the supreme court and again

in all of the stuff is ending up in the courts docket and how do you think that they will respond to this decision by colorado anything it means for other states were trying to do the same thing. france: will brian i think that is an interesting question i do not think that there's any confronconstitutional supportivk the colorado supreme court decision not well-founded unconstitutional principles principles of statutory construction that you see something they just ruled they just wished if the president trump was guilty of insurrection they said that because they fighting guilty of insurrection, then he is guilty of it he can also run as president had a think at other states were very will take this example and try to do the same thing which is why actually glad the colorado supreme court try to lease to put his high today going on the u.s. supreme court to rule before the primary valid in colorado comes out, because the supreme court early needs away on this need to weigh in on this

now see one of the sq political question one because you have people watching what is happening the colorado that it is so interesting because it seems to be attracting more support to trump every time sibley tries to kick him off of a valid were getting out of this race have what you think that whole dynamic seems to be so appealing to americans who are considering maybe for the first time ever, maybe coming back to former president trump. france: well america loves and underdog notes for president trump would never agree to let himself be called an underdog, funding in this ncs, he is they targeting has been the target of extraordinary law fear the criminalization of the weaponization of the criminal justice system in a way that americans have never seen before that we never see it again and i think that is me people even people do not necessarily like trump, they don't like the way the justice system is in the tools mr enforcement they seem

to be weapon iced against president trump and recent there hills in thing to do that to him, they can certainly do it to me or anyone i know i'm not going to stand for it c1 was starts here every since into it now where will it be i think this question on people's minds, and as you say, they don't like to see somebody persecuted in this way intrinsic about we've got leave their hazardous even think you for being with us today. france: thank you brian. sue and the race to return holiday gifts is mri minimal and daniel turner zero and investors electric vehicle charging companies have the biden administration explores trump era tariffs on chinese cvs and how to settle for together will talk about it on the evening edit.

>> there's usually pushing store credit versus cash or an even exchange actually i just wanted to return an item for another item. reporter: so retailers are really struggling today with all of these return so they are changing their policies actually dramatically summer shortening those return windows one in seven retailers i normally going to have a week to return your christmas gifts july others are instituting fees and some are offering fewer free return offer some of your expecting to get that free fedex shipping, maybe not so easy is a more and more of these gifts are going into landfills in effect, last year the total number total amount of goods returned to field 2500 going 730 sevens, so gotta tell you this was a lot of goods retailers are really struggling to take us all and and so worked

hundred sorted and pocketed truly long for them. brian: i was going to return a pair of socks but and maybe it would be easier and i will wear them and thank you good stuff thank you right turn is president biden looking vehicle pushes getting resistance from both buyers and investors the wall street journal is reporting the ev charging networks like point holdings and by charging maybe go see massive drops conditioners last year let me now executive director, general turner daniel commence way to see you so link charging brendan jones said that he thinks of the investors are just getting very of the fact that the company's make any money is kind of a demand story in the ev side of things never turn the corner as this market really showing you stuff me way premature in terms of its viability. >> yes will really shows no matter how much government

course and incentives and mandates and subsidizes these company so we really cannot force the consumer to buy a product before they are ready to honey bees may be cool technology but ultimately, cars machine in a vehicle as purposes the most people want them of the cannot afford a navy average is around $60000 per the needs of the deacon over weight that can carry a lot of passengers you don't have to sit and turning offer 45 minutes every couple of hours and so he these are just not ready for prime time in the government cannot former foursome to be ready faster than the free market allows to becoming a check on this one because this to me is the regular to not knowing whether doing wall street journal warning president biden considering bringing it back trump era tariffs on chinese babies to encourage americans to buy american-made tvs no fighting something pushing america's a headed by a navy so

the 100 cannot give them on the other hand you have to have a it is often together daniel, but at east consumers holding the bag once again and what's your reaction to this. daniel: will look of you trying to find the community. legal consistency the biden administration policies, the energy policies are ev policies name the issue come there is no consistency this is a great example of that and just weeks ago, the wrapped up into by and all the world leaders were there and vice president harassment to represent the united states and xi jinping did not attendance did not send a note to attend come they sent quietly in the oscars because the realize that all of these global climate initiatives with her to be ev wind and solar is a huge beneficiary produces 70 percent of these products and so time love the fact the biden administration wants us to drive ev's and wanted to use wind and solar because benefiting president trump realize that in

team opposed tariffs to try to level the playing field biden is now displaying catch up years later that he enjoyed a lot of - when he came into office and proceeded got rid of these tariffs. >> and course troubles are trying to force all of us to buy a navy which is why the policy could work in a situation but when they ask you about the gas prices because that is been an interesting story this year and they hit their lowest point of the year last week national average was three oh six per gallon some say that is the bottom not going to go any lower than that may bump to back up to 312 per gallon the annual dinner what you expected siena new year is a probably big issue watching here is this going to give biden a post that gas prices have come down or something else going to happen here. daniel: is it get great point race because also we had a critical election biden went to the strategic reserves but he can't today than the morning somebody drained the mass majority will hi

critical election biden went to the strategic reserves but he can't today than the morning somebody drained the mass majority will hit about 70 days of supply left and so there are guess issues he does not have any other bull is in the chamber quite frankly i don't know what will happen with gas prices my hunch is that the winter gas prices tend to be the lowest and were not driving as much or not traveling as much and so why am thrilled to see the gas prices coming down in relief to the american family we still have an ongoing fight with this administration, for the drilling of the land and access and until our supply continues to bump up, opec has announced that they're not going to increase production the meantime soon i think the gas prices will go back up and it seems logical for this with a have to go sue and opec will not help in a wrongful about health and somebody season one a little see roofing feel yes and daniel

the way they define it to defend the national security. brian: is so close with source this thing you know were heading colleges about load of money every single year of resistance to anti-semitism on campus, is growing negatives is beyond the ivy league is now in a nonprofit jewish advocacy group in northwestern called loans for campus montanez campaign calling out the concerns of the rising hostility towards jewish students on campus and so i love the fact getting pushback comes when, but as long as we keep handing these campuses, all of this money every single year, whether that is my subsidizing student debt or directly for research, i don't see how the models going to change. bob: well how can we use federal dollars that will be used to promote and promote anti-semitism on college campuses nose for the education of force during boy brought a and the college presidents from penn, from mit and from harvard

and question them and their committee did a great job and i think exposing what is going on in her college campuses were is coming from the professors, and the faculty were setting up as you know we have the carpet the letter from 700 faculty member saying you need to give a president who's obviously demonstrated that she does not care about anti-semitism what is going on in our college campuses left-wing the argosy of because getting doctrine needed and were sure to use the federal dollars to teach them anti-semitism for other things that discriminate in her college campuses. >> one of the big problems is even if you get rid of the present income you still have a faculty that will be pushing the same ideology on campus and the problem is deeper rooted we need solutions deeper rooted than simply changing leadership specially there, thank you for being with us today. bob: thank you for being with us merry christmas to you by greg caravan, the biggest since 2022, is on its way from mexico top biden are heading to mexico

brian: a massive illegal migrant caravan is heading toward our southern border at this very moment one migrant, watch this, demands president biden help them. finish spanish the president of the united states must help us. we are migrants. in reality, some of us only go to the u.s. for four, five, six, seven years. and then return to our country. for this reason, we demand that joe biden help us. brian: with me now from house homeland security, congressman carlos gimenez. congressman, good to see you. i have to say, i'm to struck by that video we just showed. that migrant, essentially, dictating terms to the president of the united states which tells me that whatever shred of deterrence might have been tried has absolutely failed.

what's your reaction? >> i mean, i'm -- i can't believe what that migrant say said. he's demanding that the president of the united states has to help him like he has a right to enter the united states and be helped. by the united states. and he's going -- hey, he's only going to be here about a seven years, and then he's going to go back to his country so, hey, we've got to help him while he's here. he demands help. i mean, that's outrageous, you know? the democrats and joe biden must feel that somehow if the hispanics, the hispanic e population here in the united states is actually supporting stuff like this, and we don't. we believe in legal immigration. we don't believe in illegal immigration. and we certainly don't believe, and we certainly don't support, the crisis, the madness that's happening at our southern border right now. brian: so is you've got this caravan, it's the huge, it's filled with people who are evidently very brazen, and this is the happening just one day before secretary of state

blinken is set to meet with mexico's president own rah a door tomorrow -- obrador tomorrow to, quote, discuss further actions that can be taken together to address current border challenges. the fact that he even calls it a challenge, it's, like, what are we talking about here? i have zero hope that anything good is going to come of this. congressman, tell me i'm wrong. tell me these guys are going to come up with something that can help. >> no, you're not wrong. sorry, i can't tell you you're not wrong. i have zero confidence in anything that blinken does. everything that he negotiates is actually not in the best interests of the united states. it's counter to what really is needed in the united states, and so, look, i made a comment that i think he's going to pull out all the stops, and he's going to ask for a, pretty please, could you pretty please help us out when, in fact, it's -- the united states has it within it power to resolve this issue like right now, and this administration just refuses to do that. now, he's going to go there and

say, oh, it's mexico causing this problem. no, actually not. the first thing he's got to do, hey, we're going to shut down this border, going to send them back to your country. good luck with 700,000 immigrants per month coming into your country. and i bet you that then the mexican government will shut down their border really, really quick. if you are asking the mexican government to help the united states of america, you're -- [laughter] you're an idiot. the mention con government, this president certainly count want to help the -- 2ku7b9 want to help the united states of america. nothing's going to come of this. brian: mexico would act when it had an incentive to act. border patrol encountered 17 people on the fbi e ooh's terror watch list in november alone. residents and even journalist es say the conditions at the southern border are the worst they've ever seen. watch this. >> it's just the worst i've ever epstein it. it's not even -- i've ever seen

it. it's not just eagle pass. this caravan that's coming, i mean, that's just the norm now. it was big headline news when there was that a caravan under the trump administration, and that was one or two times. now we're seeing or caravans on a pretty consistent basis now. the national security risk, it's putting the general population at risk, and it, you know, it's not racist to say that. it's not because we're scared of foreigners. no. when you have people who we have no idea who they are coming across, they could be anybody. it's just with, it's just a are big problem. brian: congressman, uh-uh know that you have limited options here as a just one branch, one with with-half of one -- one-half of one branch of the u.s. government, what are you aiming for if what are you in congress going to be doing to try to get some kind of positivg from antony blinken. >> listen, the problem is that, yeah, we're using -- funding in

ukraine and israel as leverage in order to change the policy of the biden administration. i just don't trust that. on if we negotiate something with the biden administration that they're going to come through. they continuously lie. never listen to what they tell you, look at what they're doing. what they're doing is always counter to american interests. look, i'm an imgrant, all right? -- immigrant, all right? i wasn't born in this country. i can tell you we don't agree with what's happening at the southern border. we want legal immigration, not illegal immigration. also this is putting america at risk. pipe obama yes. >> yeah, we have 700,000 encounters. how many gotaway? we don't no nowhere they are, where they came from or where they're going. brian: congressman, thanks for being with us, we appreciate it. all right, join ugh -- joining us tomorrow, claudia tenny and gop strategist ford o'connell. i'm brian brenberg in elizabeth macdonald. thanks for watching "can evening -- evening edit." kelly and sean.
