132.82. take a look at 10 year treasury yield. down 4.5 basis points at 4.25% and 4.25. kamala harris made first remarks since conceding the election. watch. jot outcome of this election, obviously is not what we wanted. it is not what we worked so hard for, but i am proud of the race we ran. i still strongly believe the light of america's promise will burn bright as long as we never give up, and we keep fighting and the fight that fueled our campaign, a fight for freedom and opportunity that did not end on november 5. ashley: charlie hurt joining me now. charlie, well, what does kamala harris' political future look like now do you think? >> i think on the national stage, i think she's finished.

you know, there's obviously talk right now that maybe she has a future in california politics and maybe that's possible. but if she does, i think it's only because california democrats are kind of out of better options, and i think that one of the important lessons of this campaign, and i don't know why democrats had to relearn it after the primary in 2019, is that the more people get to know kamala harris, the more they don't like her, the more voters get to know her that he don't like her. it's not just general election but in democrat primaries. remember when she announced in 201 she was the one to beat and everybody, every media person thought she was going to be the next nominee and flamed out before the first vote was cast and only 100 day campaign for her and they're complaining it wasn't long enough but in a lot of ways i think maybe it was too

long for them because 100 days was long enough for a lot of americans to say, you know, i don't know what she's talking about and i don't want her to be my president. ashley: next one, charlie. james carville, always good for a callout and calling out staffers from harris' progressive campaign. listen to this. >> going out on the joe rogan show and a lot of the younger progressive staffers pitched a hissy fit. you're 23 years old, i don't care what you think. if i was running a campaign and had a snout nosed 23-year-old saying i'm going to resign if you don't do that. not only would i fire that [bleep] on the spot and find out who hired them and fire that person on the spot. ashley: it's pretty hilarious and i think he's right. harris' staffers with another weak point for her?

>> james carville is right about all this and whether or not the rest of the democrats listen to him, i don't know, but they're going to have a real problem on their hands because people like james carville and other democrats in the party have handed so much of the control of the party over to these people who are listening to 23-year-old senate nosed brats -- snot nosed brats and don't know anything about anything and to wrestle control back from them is going to be very difficult to do if they can do it, and they will pay another price ting not the way it works and it's not a winning strategy.

ashley: biden administration and $20 billion short fall in irs funding and hillary vaughn at white house and what will happen if the irs doesn't get the money. reporter: ashley, irs warning if congress doesn't free up the $20 billion they're counting on, billions will be added to the deficit. treasury deputy secretary saying in could mean $140 billion ultimately added to the deficit. he says 6,000 fewer audits that the irs could do of wealthy people and 2,000 fewer audits of large corporations and irs would have to go on a hiring freeze. some in congress don't think that would necessarily be a bad thing. senator joni ernst laying out a blueprint for the --

ashley: all right, we lost hillary vaughn and went disappear into the ether. thank you, hillary. sorry about that. bring in senator joni ernst of iowa. senator, you audited the irs and found they owenearly $50 million in overdue taxes. remarkable. the government wide number of employee unpaid taxes more than $1.5 billion. how do we begin to get that under control? how can this happen? >> i spent the past summer and going to get 5800 irs employees and they're actually tax dodgers. they owe over $50 million in back taxes and most don't have a repayment plan.

so i am just utterly astounded that the irs is really concerned about a short fall if their own employees would pay their back tataxes and would have more than enough funding to do all of the proper audits. i do have a plan that's called the audit the irs act, and i do have a lot of support for that in the united states congress. this was just one of many issues that i raised with elon musk and vivek ramaswamy when i presented to them my savings, my cutting waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government. government in order to help their department of government efficiency. ashley: well, government efficiency i say this all the time is an oxymoron. when you have elon musk and vivek ramaswamy on the case, i think people are really, really hopeful that so much government

waste can be eliminated. it's a tall task, but are you confident they can do it to a meaningful level? >> absolutely. i am very, very confident in what we call the doge so they will be able to go in, scrutinize federal government spending and waste and opportunities for us to overcome that. i have been working on what i call my squeal awards for more than a decade now. iowans sent me to the iowa state senate to make them squeal, and finally, ashley, i have the opportunity to take all of this great information, hand it over to the folks at the doge and say go after it. and i do have wonderful partners with me in the united states congress that would love to see us scale back on the waste within our federal government.

ashley: we all look forward to that. also, senator, president biden reportedly making a last minute plea to congress for $24 billion in aid for ukraine. would you back that additional money? >> ashley, it's a little too late. i tell you what. ukraine is in this mess because of president biden. now there's a new sheriff in town, president trump will take over in january, and i have aid all along we need to give the tools necessary to ukraine to win the war. we need weapons, not welfare. we don't want to see the american people forking over more of their hard earned money if we are in an endless war.

ashley: very good. good place to leave it senator joni ernst of iowa. much appreciate you taking the time. mike, excited about the prospect of mus a musk and ramaswamy com? i wonder how good it'll be in reality. my goodness, there's lots of fat to cut. >> i'm super excited and you said before it's an oxymoron and talking about the government not overspending and taking a look at these two business leaders and they'll go in there and they're going to have a whole new feeling about the government and going to find so much fat to cut them and i'm really excited and that's one of the tail winds for the market next year. ashley: absolutely wish them the best of luck. how will he do

the student debt relief plan? lauren: politico reporting that he's looking to way to roll back biden's student debt relief and he wants to do so fast. 4.8 million borrowers and trying to clog that back, that would likely get tied up in the courts, but politico is saying that trump's transition advisers discussing ways to unwind what they can and remember the department of education that's the agency that administers 1.6 trillion in student loans and trump may try to dismantle them and what happens then. moving portfolio over to them for instance and there'll be changes happening and see what they can do legally.

here? >> tough to say. in fighting on spe spending and social issues like seth moul ten on women sports and it's hard to come back if they can't agree on common sense and going onset rogan's podcast as far as i know has been free and they just spent money on the wrong things and they're completely out of touch with the american public. all she had to do was sit down. i mean, look, a democrat would have struggled anyways with the economy and just nostalgia for the trump years, but there was much that she could have done and places she could have been for far cheaper. ashley: exactly. one more for you, carine, according to a new un report, majority of social media influencers share information with their followers without verifying the accuracy. another recent report says one in five people get their news from influencers. i'm not surprised by this but it

is troubling. >> yeah, it is troubling. after a year and a half on the campaign trail and all the young voters say they get their news on social media. that's troubling but it reflecting a falling trust in legacy media. you have trust right now and at a low of 31%. and there needs to be steps to bring more balance to political coverage on both sides and you have the harris campaign. all of a sudden it was this beloved poll cigs when, you know, two weeks before she started her ratings were abysmal. and i think the media will have to answer to the american public about what happened here and didn't prepare american voters for her loss. that's one part and trust is a really big issue going forward ask could help combat the social media news misinformation. ashley: exactly. carine, thank you very much. have yourself a great thanks

launched this special task force named after laken riley who was killed by venezuelan migrant with ties to the violent gang. >> we first within ice hsi came across them in late 2022 in lima, peru, during a human trafficking investigation realized it was tda members that were actively working that percentage. now we're just shy of 20% of our gang investigations are tda related. pretty substantial so we're closing in on about 200 investigations that we have going on right now. enough so that in early part of this year in 2024, we initiated this thing called operation athens so it's to combat specifically tda. reporter: take a look, tda has taken a foothold in the country with a presence in 16 states and lechleitner said they pose a serious threat to public safety. >> they're very, very violent
