judge hammers biden's blanket pardon for being above the law. tonight legal scholar author top attorney jonathan turley here with his expert analysis we're excited to talk to mr. turley, plus trump just demanded courts toss out d. fani willis' case against him and georgia, this irony, trump is using biden's own words to get it tossed out, about bias at the doj. we'll explain that. also, we will dig into this. trump has to battle lame duck biden spending billions more including overseas but not on still suffering hurricane helene victims. literally freezing now, living intents, in north carolina. but first, this. the update on president-elect trump gearing up for january 20 amid reports he's considering floflorida governor ron desanti.
5:04 pm
let's get to and wish a merry christmas to senior white house correspondent the terrific jacqui heinrich live in west palm beach near mar-a-lago. jackie it's great to have you on. reporter: good to see you too, liz. thanks for having me. if pete hegseth's chances at senate confirmation get further bogged down president-elect trump has his eye on florida governor ron desantis. multiple sources confirmed to fox the two of them spoke about it apparently in person yesterday at a memorial for a fallen law enforcement officers, but as of right now, hegseth is not ready to throw in the towel just yet. >> do you have any conversations with th the president-elect about governor desantis? >> i spoke to the president-elect this morning. he said keep going, keep fighting. >> so you're in this all the way? >> i've always been a fighter. i'm here for the war fighters.
5:05 pm
reporter: hegseth's mother, also defending her son today, after the new york times published an e-mail she wrote to him in 2018, reprimanding him from his treating women. she appealed to female senators specifically to ignore the media, and listen to pete. >> i want people to look at pete and judge people or understand him for who he is today, and to disregard the media. that was seven years ago, and most of it is misinformation, and the way they threaten you, i think, is very hurtful, and the person who leaked it, i don't know who that is, and i don't think i will need to, but pete is a new person, he's forgiven, changed. reporter: hegseth's meetings with senators on capitol hill are scheduled through tomorrow afternoon, and then we are told
5:06 pm
he has to move on and handle other responsibilities. today, he did immediate with seattle joni ernst and she herself reportedly a contender to replace him if he backs out or drops out. she is herself a female combat veteran and rape survivor but until the president-elect makes any change to his pick to lead the pentagon, hegseth needs her support and they both tweeted that they had a good meeting and it lasted about a half hour. a thorough conversation she described it. liz: interesting jacqui heinrich, great to have you on we appreciate you very much merry christmas. let's get to from senate homeland security senate budget wisconsin senator ron johnson. we're going to move on to this. senator johnson, you joining us now. what's the status now with trump's nominees? you're meeting with trump cabinet pick pete hegseth, scott bessent after our show. do you support desantis or hegseth as pentagon chief? >> first of all, pete is still
5:07 pm
in it. i'll meet with him. i met with a group of senators a couple nights ago. he certainly conveyed to me the priorities of what he would do as secretary and i agree with him, to focus on returning lethality to our military force, to defend this nation, root out the wokeness, the dei, the things that have really threatened our readiness, and as a war fighter himself, someone whose served his nation, i have to respect that and i just read this defense that he wrote in the "wall street journal." it doesn't sound like he's backing down and he makes a pretty good case for himself in that article. liz: pete hegseth is saying trump says keep fighting. the story is that hegseth is denying a new yorker nbc story alleging sexual misconduct, excessive drinking one story alleges expensive abuses so are the senators concerned about that?
5:08 pm
is his nomination now in jeopardy? >> i hope most republican senators take my viewpoint of the legacy corporate media. i mean, we saw the legacy media carry the russian collusion hoax for years and they still haven't apologized for carrying that false narrative. they haven't given back their prizes, so you know, i'd take everything. i hear and read in the legacy corporate media with a huge grain of salt. i'll listen to the nominees, so again, i met with him. i liked what he said in the group meeting. i appreciate what i read in the "wall street journal." i'll meet with him later today or tomorrow, and hear right from pete himself. liz: you're nor hegseth, senator ron johnson, thank you so much appreciate you very much. >> have a great day. >> now everyone looks stupid. everyone looks like they are -- joe biden looking like a typical lying politician, of course they say see joe biden is just protecting himself.
5:09 pm
>> you read the biden transcript? >> yes. and essentially, he turned her into a crack addict. and this was all happening in 2017, 2018. and joe and jill biden were so concerned about their family that they decided to run for president. >> yup. >> i just, so when you talk about the word selfish, it's almost like the word doesn't, i mean, their decision to run for president put the entire democratic party and the united states of america in the position that it's in now. liz: wait a second. all those guys obama top aids, nbc chuck todd said biden should run again for the sake of america. now they are hammering him for pardoning hunter biden. chuck todd calls biden selfish and says hunter biden turned beau biden's widow into a crack addict and now california governor gavin newsom says biden was wrong to pardon hunter. let's welcome legal scholar and
5:10 pm
author jonathan turley. it's a pleasure. we love having you on the show. what do you make of this? do the bidens think they are above the law? if biden pardoned hunter for potential crimes not even charged over an 11 year period, dating back to 2014. >> well they don't think they are above the law. they are above the law. they have succeeded in evading legal responsibility over and over again. they are the best at this. this is a city wherein influence pedaling is the favorite form of corruption but no one has seen the likes of the biden family. they have made this a virtual artform, and this pardon finally seals it. the president lied to the public when he was a candidate, swore he would not even consider pardoning his son, and then shortly before his son was going to be sentenced, before he would leave office, he did exactly that. he also lied to the american public about not knowing about
5:11 pm
business deals of his son. never meeting his business associates. that was in the last presidential election. and in a strange way, the president often sounds like he thinks that telling a lie that no one believes is as good as telling the truth, and that's what we're seeing here. i mean, this pardon is like nothing we've seen before. it took language from the nixon pardon but it's actually twice as long as the nixon period, and it pardons hunter biden for crimes that many people believe the president could be implicated in. he's pardoned for anything that happened in that 10-year period, from money laundering to murder and so that's going to cover all of those influence pedaling allegations and those are the very allegations that touch on the president himself. liz: you know, we've never, this is critics keep saying it's
5:12 pm
one of the most abnormal presidencies we've ever seen. d.c. has never seen a corruption scandal to the likes of this. the media is not covering this. now we've got the news coming in, mr. turley, that politico is reporting that joe biden preemptively wants to pardon liz cheney and adam schiff. what do you make of that? is that an admission they committed crimes? >> yeah, well it's hard to say. once you get started at this , pardons become virtual party favors and you just hand them out. i don't think that's the way a president should act. i have no reason to believe that liz cheney or schiff be subject to any type of criminal prosecution. one of the questions is whether he's going to pardon his brother. you know, the problem with this pardon is that you can't leave any vulnerable spots. the house has an ongoing investigation and if hunter gets called before the house, and he lies, that be a new crime
5:13 pm
outside the period covered by the pardon, so this doesn't eliminate entirely the risk but i don't know, you know, i think this pardoning some of these figures is really to portray that the idea that if he hadn't done that, trump would have laid ways to his political opponents but i don't know if any crime anyone has suggested be prosecuted. liz: that's right. we've got this news too. what do you make of the trump team moving today to toss out d. a. fani willis' 2020 case against trump in georgia. the trump team using joe biden's own words against, you know, basically what's going on. biden himself admitted there's political bias at the doj in his pardon of hunter. biden claimed, "hunter was selectively prosecuted, raw politics infected this process." the trump team is saying okay he's admitting the doj is bias. there's lawfare going on. >> i don't think that's the type of argument you'll
5:14 pm
get a dismissal on but that case, i've said from the outset, is absurd. that's like a conspiracy i've never seen before, against trump. there is some valid criminal allegations against some people in that case but they are relatively minor, but the effort to bag trump in that case is suffering from serious legal deficiencies and i just don't see how that ultimately will hold together against trump on appeal. liz: big fan of jonathan turley. we love his writing. brilliant mind of his, thank you so much, mr. turley. merry christmas to you. >> thank you, you too. >> let's start with cutting off illegals getting free everything. free housing. free schooling. free food. yeah, let's start with that. you are going down in history as the worst mayor in america. liz: justifiable and outrage. chicago residents showing why biden's board en crisis is unfair. saying stop spending taxpayer
5:15 pm
dollars on illegal aliens, stop raising their taxes, to pay for it as they get nothing in return. next, we have that chicago resident. we're excited to talk to danielle carter walters whose going to speak out tonight also this story. >> it's fully my intent. the president's intent to spend every cent we have available. liz: really? a major controversy. trump has to fight lame duck biden racing to spend every dollar he can before trump takes over. we've got massive waste inflationary waste and taxes raised to pay for that, but he's not spending money on victims of hurricane helene? still suffering, literally living in tents. now, freezing in north carolina. >> you know how you hear do not forget western north carolina? in the past couple of weeks, i truly feel like we have been forgotten. the government has still not helped any.
5:16 pm
fema has been no help which puts a stop on a lot of our other programs like we can't get help from mount and ways grant until fema steps in. liz: more on that outrage. also tonight fulton county d. a. fani willis has been ordered to hand overall communications with special counsel jack smith in the january 6 committee. well that revealed whether they coordinated their attacks on trump. radio host jason rantz is fired up to take that on but first the update to the shocking story. united healthcare ceo assassinated in new york city. what more do we know beyond the police saying it was targeted? we'll get you the latest on the ground there. please stay with us, we'll be back in two. >> in midtown manhattan earlier this morning, 50-year-old brian thompson, the ceo of united healthcare, was shot and killed in what appears at this early stage of our investigation, to be a brazen targeted attack.
5:17 pm

5:22 pm
reporter: hey, liz. this is a horrible situation. imagine getting a call your husband and father of two was shot and killed while out of town on business which is exactly what happened to the ceo of united healthcare. he was walking right up here at this hotel behind me not far from where the fox business and fox news headquarters are in new york city when he was gunned down. sources telling me on the ground liz this gunman knew exactly what he was doing and exactly who he was looking for. i'll show you that video so let's pull it up. this is pretty disturbing to watch. you can see the shooter walk up, with his face covered. he pulls out a gun and opens fire. shooting brian thompson there at least two times, once in the back, and another right in the leg. the gunman walks toward him again as the dad of two is on the ground, fighting for his life. then, he fired again. this is who investigators are looking for right now. the nypd releasing these photos showing the suspect up close there. this is part of his face kind of covered but it's our closest
5:23 pm
look that we've seen so far. i'm told by a couple sources this was at a nearby coffee shop. it was a starbucks at some time today. so, this is who we're looking for but we don't know who he is or his motive or anything but it's a manhunt and one the busiest time in new york city. he walked off after the shooting, hopped on a bike and was last spotted near central park. listen. >> the shooter appears to be a light skinned male wearing a light brown or cream colored jacket, a black face mask, black and white sneakers and a grey backpack. reporter: okay so the united healthcare ceo brian thompson, that's him on your screen, was a dad of two and hailed as a stand-up guy only 50 years old supposed to speak this morning at an investor's day conference at the hilton. that's why he was here but he was gunned down and what investigators say was a targeted attack. he was only in the big apple since monday staying at a nearby hotel visiting from minnesota.
5:24 pm
back here live his wife just a short time ago releasing a statement saying brian was an incredible, loving, and generous talented man who truly lived his life to the fullest and touched so many lives so the heart has to break for these people to get a call to find out he was killed while out of town on business. liz: just awful. thank you so much appreciate you. reporter: you're so nice, thanks. >> those who are here committing crimes, robberies, shooting at police officers, raping innocent people, have been a harm to our country, well, cancel me. because i'm going to protect the people of the city. >> let's start with cutting off illegals getting free everything. free housing. free schooling. free food. the police detail you have, the 200 police detail you have. let's start with that, because you democrats and remember you told us to defund the police? remember, you ran on that. remember now, if you vote on
5:25 pm
anything to raise our taxes, or anything because we are already suffering, homeowners. you all will not be in those seats. liz: first you hear from new york city mayor adams in a major shift. he says deport criminal illegal aliens now. and also, that was chicago resident danielle carter walters describing how dangerous the situation is now in chicago. danielle joins us now. danielle, we appreciate you so much for joining us on this show. merry christmas to you. i know it's so hard for you guys in chicago. can you please tell the viewers about what exactly is happening on the streets in chicago now when it comes to the illegal aliens? >> well, we have about 70,000 illegal aliens here in chicago. they are just having entire restaurants on the corner, residential areas, we having crime, we're having more shots
5:26 pm
going on here, and we also are having where the gangs are taking over, so it's really bad here in chicago, especially when you dump 70,000 illegal aliens in our neighborhoods. liz: you know, danielle, so on monday, a mass shooting in chicago, reportedly involving migrants from venezuela. eight shot, three dead, and now, is this right that chicago spent nearly $600 million in illegal aliens since 2022 but the democrat mayor and the city council want to raise your property taxes to pay for it when you guys are getting nothing in return? and the amount nationwide, we're showing it was 574 million now we're hearing from chicago spent on this. nationwide 150 billion plus spent nationwide on illegal aliens. are those the numbers you are hearing about too? >> yes.
5:27 pm
yes, we are in a billion dollar deficit. we have spent, and i believe it's more, 600 million on illegals, funding them, free housing, free medical, free schooling, free food. everything free all while trying to tax the taxpayers, so we are in a billion dollar deficit. we want brandon johnson to allow trump to come in and do his job. that's what we voted for and that's what we want as american citizens and as chicago citizens. i did not vote for this mayor, or nor have i voted democrat since 2016, but since this is what we have to deal with, he's not, he's a dictator. he refused to listen to the citizens and we are telling him
5:28 pm
right now, if you do not listen to us, and let tom homan come in, and get these illegals out of our neighborhood, then it's going to be a problem. liz: danielle, we've got news coming in. mexico troops just seized a record amount of fentanyl, a historic amount heading toward the border. let's take a listen to new york city mayor eric adams on the money going toward illegal aliens what it's not being spent on for taxpayers. danielle let's get your reaction to this. watch. >> okay. >> the long-term impact of the $6.4 billion has not materialized yet. we could have spent 400 million on community schools with chronic absentees. we could have spent 600 million on 2,000 guidance counselors and social workers in schools. 39 million on extended hours for 30,000 children. 22 million on metra cards for 75,000 summer youth
5:29 pm
employment participants. 200 million could have gone to a thousand more police officers, 84 million could have gone to 730 park staff. the police budget is less than what we spent. the entire nypd is only 6.2 billion. fire department only 2.6 billion. they hurt the future of new york city. liz: your word on that? >> well, first, i think he's too late. he's definitely too late. he should have did this when it first happened just like brandon johnson should have did this when it first happened. we wanted to get , we wanted to put on the ballot so we can vote on if we wanted chicago to stay a sanctuary cities. brandon johnson brought that, so, these democratic mayors, eric adams now acts like he wants to do something but he
5:30 pm
should have did something two years ago. liz: that's an important point. >> yes, so basically i blame him for what's going on just like we blame pritzker and we blame brandon johnson, because these people, these democratic mayors and governors allow this , and they knew that we didn't have the funding to fund this , but they didn't care, because they knew it was going to be on the taxpayer back. liz: awful. >> so now that we're in this deficit and the new york mayor is going through what he's going through, now he wants to act like he's trying to do something, but the good thing is, he's acting like he wants to do something. our mayor, brandon johnson, is doubling down on what he's saying. liz: got it. danielle carter walters thank you so much very much for joining us tonight. we appreciate you. we'll be staying on the story good to see you. >> okay, thank you.
5:31 pm
>> donald trump has proven the way you communicate now is not to leave a vacuum but there's agreements because we can find hundreds of billions of dollars to save the american people? we should make that a bipartisan issue. liz: democrat saying he is on board with draining the swamp. is elon musk doge catching on d.c.? senator rick scott will take it on plus president biden handing out billions of dollars overseas, hurricane helene victims are suffering still in north carolina. what are they getting? the details next. >> our life is on hold right now and as you can tell, our home, it still looks today like it did on september 27, which is very very disheartening.

it's time to feed the dogs real food in the right amount. a healthy weight can help dogs live a longer and happier life. the farmer's dog makes weight management easy with fresh food pre-portioned for your dog's needs. it's an idea whose time has come. >> we seem to have a set of liberal litmus tests and if you
5:37 pm
don't meat those litmus tests and you're not allowed to share your opinion. this is the attitude a lot of americans feel the democratic party takes to the entire country. if you don't agree with us, then not only are you wrong, but you're a bad person. a lot of people feel the democratic party is out of touch right now so if we want to start winning again, we've got to start embracing more ideas. liz: that was democrat congressman seth molten hammering the democrat party for being out of touch. he doesn't want things like biological males in women sports and now democrats are getting on board with elon musk and vivek ramaswamy's doge to cut government waste. joining us now from senate budget, the one and only senator rick scott. senator merry christmas to you too. so, what do you make of now democrat jarrod is on board with the doge caucus to cut government waste. are democrats getting it's inflationary and causes taxes to rise? >> well that's one. we need a lot more to come on board. look, i'm a turnaround guy.
5:38 pm
i bought failing businesses and fixed them up. and then i eventually sold them. and created a lot of jobs that way and i ran for governor back in 2010 with the same mindset. it was losing people, jobs, we had not balanced a budget. we cut 20% of the regulatory environment, and we cut taxes and fees 100 times and guess what happened? our economy blossomed. we had 1.7 million jobs. i've been up here six years fighting to do the exact same thing. i am so excited that elon musk and vivek ramaswamy and donald trump want to do this. i'm excited i'm going to be meeting with them tomorrow. i'm talking to them about ideas. how do we make government efficient? we had a 2% increase in our population in five years, a 53% increase in our spending, that can't last. 37% of our revenue goes to interest expense. we can provide better service at lower prices and vivek said it, elon has done it, donald trump has done it, i did it, we're going to figure this out i'm
5:39 pm
excited. liz: senator, you know, all of that government waste they are talking about cutting 2 trillion. it's a target-rich environment. all that money could have gone into hiring more cops, hiring more teachers, more firemen. can president-elect trump get this done? can he get the government waste cut? biden locked in a new deal for over 42000 federal workers to work-from-home until the near 2029. can trump knock all of this out? >> absolutely. so many, everything that biden has done through the regulatory environment, through executive orders trump can change. he can change day one of executive order on the regulatory stuff there's a process. all of this can be fixed. that's what i did when i got elected governor. i went through agency by agency and we got rid of regulatory environments. we streamlined things. all that stuff is doable here and we know what we need to do so i'm excited. i think the american public clearly voted for this and we're going to make it happen.
5:40 pm
liz: senator scott, great to see you. thanks for joining us tonight good to see you again. >> bye-bye. >> and i must tell you upfront, with the american press here, i'm probably the most pro-rail guy in america. i've ridden over a million miles on a daily basis for my work, 220 miles a day for the last 50 years. liz: all right, seriously? what is he talking about? that was president biden with another whopper claiming he rode more than 1.3 million miles on a daily basis to work? and now he wants to spend more than 1 billion bucks of your money in africa and ukraine but not on the victims of hurricane helene on north carolina. they are literally freezing to death living in tents, and no heat, no electricity, little food. let's welcome to the show seattle talk radio host jason rantz. i mean, this is why biden has got to go.
5:41 pm
he wants to spend billions on railways and africa and humanitarian aid when americans are still suffering, jason? >> yeah, it shows a complete disconnect with what the american people are experiencing in a big part of why he and the democratic party was so widely rejected this last election. we get gaslit all the time. we talk about problems they pretend they don't exist but this is the ultimate slap in the face for americans who to your point are suffering still. this is not like even just happened. they have been suffering now for weeks. at what point does this administration step up and say we actually care about you. we care about the american people and we're going to help. we just don't get that. liz: he slow to go to the border. kamala harris hardly went. he was slow to go to east palestine, ohio, in that toxic rail crash. he's not listening to the people in north carolina. their homes got destroyed by
5:42 pm
hurricane helene. let's listen to this , watch. >> you know how you hear, do not forget western north carolina? in the past couple of weeks, i truly feel like we have been forgotten. the government has still not helped any. fema has been no help, which puts a stop on a lot of our other assistance programs, like we can't get help from mountain ways grant until fema steps in. right now, our life is on hold and as you can tell, our home, it still looks today like it did on september 27, which is very very disheartening. liz: come on. this is outrageous. how come fema and the biden white house doesn't have enough money to help them? the dhs inspector general found fema was sitting on about seven to $8 billion in unspent cash locked up for prior hurricanes or disasters, dating back decades. that was just a month ago. they burned through a billion
5:43 pm
bucks in fema money on illegal aliens and continues sending money overseas. final word. >> yeah, it doesn't make any sense and just listening to her speak and you can hear it in her voice not just a sadness but you can tell she's resigned. she's resigned to the reality that under joe biden, and the democratic party, this is the kind of response they will see. they will receive, as a result of this kind of horrific nightmare that she is now still living through. this is america. we should not have someone like that getting in front of a camera with still the wreckage of her home behind her. that is just heartbreaking to see. liz: jason rantz always terrific to have you on. good to see you merry christmas, thanks for joining us. >> appreciate it. >> i don't need anything from a man. a man is not a plan. a man is a companion. liz: okay, this story. did fulton county d. a. fani willis need her prosecution
5:44 pm

liz: this news is coming in. president-elect trump just a short while ago demanded georgia courts toss out d. a. fani willis' case against him and also a court ordered fani willis to hand overall communications with special counsel jack smith and the january 6 committee to judicial watch. joining us now jp strategist attorney ford o'connell. ford, that last part, what's the fall out of that? could it reveal whether they coordinated their prosecutions of trump? they are already reports that nathan wade, met at the biden white house. before filing the case against the 2020 case against trump. they were acting separately. what is the fall out of this? >> well i think the american public has a right to know exactly the extent to this lawfare. remember, in the alvin bragg records keeping case, matthew angelo came from the doj all the way down from manhattan. you don't go from the number three law enforcement person in america to manhattan's district
5:51 pm
attorneys office. this rico case is so complex there's no way fani willis thought of that case on her own even with nathan wade. liz: the other thing too this report that jack smith spent $50 million on his cases against trump. $50 million? whose profiting here? >> well obviously, jack smith is profiting here. remember, he is a political operative okay? he's not really a lawyer in the way a lot of people think about it. remember he got rebuked by the supreme court of bob macdonald and john edwards. he was there to harm president trump politically and he manipulated the law to do it and luckily president trump won, but when we this happens and you take a step back, we look like a third world banana republic. liz: yeah, i mean, and then you've got biden saying oh, his son was selectively prosecuted. raw politics at play and trump is using that in his motion to get the georgia case entirely tossed out. joe biden finally admitting the quiet part outloud about
5:52 pm
political bias at the doj. final word. >> well political bias at the doj is laughable. remember the hunter biden pardon is not so much a hunter biden pardon as it is a joe biden and biden inc pardon. wait for more including jim biden. liz: interesting and there's a story he wants to preemptively pardon liz cheney and adam schiff. for what? that's biden. ford thank you for joining us good to see you. this story, the senate getting in gear to enact trump's mandate for the american people to fix america. what does the senate majority leader doing? look whose with us former home depot ceo we love bob nardelli. stay with us he's so smart. stay right there. >> we will make america safe, strong, prosperous, powerful and free again. and i'm asking every citizen all across our land to join me in this nobel and righteous endeavor that's what it is.

optimistic at the speed with which is president has moved to implement tariffs to try to protect the border and curtail the invasion we have. then the fear mongers that are talking about increase in prices due to the tariffs. here is the question i would ask those people, if you have your son, daughter or grand cha -- grand grandchildren would you pay for their safety and security, i pray you would, if you have not had a home invasion or not an ev an encounter then you are blessed. majority of people today are walking around with fear based on what is happening in our country today, we're becoming a more and more lawless society, we have to curtail this for our safety and santee. elizabeth: bob. interesting, a leading member of canada cabinet said that yes canada will

crackdown on the border security. did we have inflation when the you know tariffs trump put them in the first time. i think it was 1.4%. >> my experience back then, elizabeth, we did have some some of the companies i worked with invest in we were getting material out of china, we did have to pay a higher price, search or 10% based on the tariff rate it did for us, he uses tariffs as a tactic not a policy to get where he wants to get to be able to deliver on the commitment he madism you are the best bob nardelli, you ran out of time, thank you for watching "the evening edit," dvr us, now to dagen and jason. dagen: thank youi. elizabeth: sure.
