it's been a month since we first heard reports of mysterious drones flying in the night sky over new jersey, we still don't know who put them there or what they were doing, the government tells us they are not dangerous, tell us who's putting them up there and what are they doing, don't tell us to move along there's nothing to see there is a pattern, chinese spy balloon that wandered around the country, the checking out our military bases we were told the buildings were not dangerous, we were never told exactly what they were doing, eventually one was shot down, during covid there was an awkward. when vaccinated people got covid, another words the vaccine did not prevent infection, white house reporter asked how many cases were reported like this. jen psaki did not answer, she asked why we wanted the information, we wanted it because the truth is enough. how about this kjp was asked if biden would pardon hunter, days later he was pardoned. is the president fit for the

job, he's doing just fine in july he dropped out of the race, is the border controlled yes it is says mayorkas, no it is not mr. secretary, not under control, one thing after another deliberate avoidance of the truth absolutely the knot was transparent. 35 days left. third hour of rte starts now. ♪ >> here is joe concha what you make of the ministry and downplaying the drones. living in new jersey you see what's going on above your apartment or above your home, i'm seeing things i've never seen before not a conspiracy theorist and i don't necessarily believe in aliens but in this case there are dozens of strange

things happening. if donald trump were in office i would enter they would get shut down as they came off the jersey coast or before they did so they fell into the ocean you see these videos and i have them on my feet as well there on expendable. what is happening why haven't we heard from the president of the united states, that is joe biden we forget that sometimes or the vice president kalama harris the defense secretary lloyd austin and all we hear is alejandro mayorkas saying these are just planes nothing to see here, these are not planes i know what i see somebody residence doing we want answers in our government again is not being transparent. stuart: how long will it take before we find out what on earth is going on. we keep talking about the drones and we talked about them for four weeks it's impossible to move on, cnn van jones has a message for liberals how trump pulled off the victory. watch this. >> how the hell did donald trump

correct and there are 77 million more than 77 million reasons why he's right that was a number of both the donald trump pointed out that's how we won the popular vote and that's how you win back the senate and the house and every swing state is how you have the 63 majority in the supreme court and the majority of governorships. the winning just keeps happening and that man on your screen is a reason for it, there is a reason the majority of americans believe donald trump's first term presidency was successful if not for covid definitely would've won a second term in 2020 but that turned everything upside down and trump cannot win the campaign abiding could run from his basement as for democrats leaving your daddy's jockeys, it's a coastal leads in the richest 1% the party of censorship in the party of war and woke if you're that party or knocking when working-class voters or the number of black voters that you need were latino voters or young voters ever again they have to change your messaging and attacking personally is not working. >> former iowa pollster is

speaking out about her impermissible with trump's losing to harris and iowa, the poll came out ahead of the election and it was totally wrong, watch this. >> let's deal with allegations. i am mystified about what the motivation anybody thinks i had and would act on in such a public pool. i don't understand it in the allegations that i take very seriously they are saying this is election interference which is a crime. the idea that i intentionally set up to deliver this responsibility when i've never done that before i had plenty of opportunities to do it it's not my ethic. the public seems to is lost trust in election polling. >> as they should they were off wildly in 2016 often 2020 and

2024 again. i would come on the show another shows and say whatever you're seen as far as donald trump eat even with kamala harris just add a couple more points to that in the swing states when i saw this pool come out, kamala harris plus three in iowa despite many republicans being registered in that state the fact that it hasn't gone blue in decades i said i can't wait to come back on the air after the election to dunk on the pool it's not far off and she was only off by 16 points. i'm sorry i get off by five or seven but 16 points i'm hearing that the trump can sue and selzer in her former employer the duane register and she was right to retire no coming back from that pool it was an earthquake at the time but sensible people said she's not winning iowa kalama harris she never set foot in the state she's not to come close and sure enough that's exactly what happened. >> thank you for being here joe concha.

i have a question, what actions is biden planning in the last final month in office his comedic asian director retweeted a bloomberg article that the last minute to do list includes actions unspecified artificial intelligence student debt cancellation, new funding awards via the chips and inflation reduction act also high-speed internet funds for states action to protect our land and water in new partings and commutation. bendable is the director, the presidency is not measured in weeks, months or four year terms alone rather than impact is evaluated for years and decades to come president biden impressed under president harris over the last four years are sprouting and their potential will be fully unleashed wrong into the future this is biden looking to codify his legacy. >> what is looking to do is stop trump from undoing it from keep it in place.

when it was split adjusted at three, nvidia hit a wall it's a big worry that president trump is going to camp some of the exports to china and companies that work with china that could be an issue, broad calm has a better trajectory then nvidia because the broad calm is working toward customizing chip sets for companies like apple like alphabet like microsoft. that is a big growth driver for them. nvidia is a great stock but broad calm affably more upside. stuart: wedding upside in the last couple of days, 245. keep an eye on the drones. lauren you're looking at the movers, which way is that movie.

name and shame campaigns the north korean nationals connected a company in china and russia are charged with stealing the identity of americans using those identities to get contracts with us-based it companies is remote contracted employees taking the wages and sending them to north korea for the development of the military that they still proprietary information from it companies threaten to leak it elects extortion payments were made this scheme generated more than $88 million for the north korean government, the midphase money laundering and identity theft and wire fraud charges could face serious time behind bars, the problem once again it's about getting the men behind bars, unless things change under the next administration cooperation between the u.s. and north korea is nonexistent the state department offering a reward up to $5 million for information on the individuals of their scam we all know money talks. stuart: david spunt, think very

much. anthony blinken says the u.s. has been in direct contact with serious islamist rebels. axios reports israel and jordan held secret talks on syria, morgan ortagus is back with us in new york. who leads the rebels in syria, do we know. >> unfortunately a fair number of guys who were involved with isis were al-qaeda and iraq. i think that is the deep concerned. most of them are going out of their way not to say bad things about israel but they're going to protect christians. it's a lot of talk right now, when you look at syria at large of course everyone is happy when somebody like asad gaston killed 500 people in the civil war it's a good thing whatever iran's position as we can. however, like the russian whenever you open and there's a new one that's like what's happening in the middle east you cannot be happy for too long, you know that these guys are basically instead of coca-cola they have been isis like.

when the u.s. looks like it a complicated situation in syria these guys took control and happen because russia and iran did not defend asad and its people by the way if your proxy of russia or iran in the middle east and the houthis and hamas or hezbollah iran stop by and watch proxy after proxy be defeated around the you have to rethink your partnership with iran. i think what the united states should do is put a lot of pressure on the head rebel group that led, we should put a lot of pressure on hds to say you must protect the christian sites and must protect christians, we also have the kurds, the syrian kurds who fought isis that we need to push on turkey to protect. another current administration is trying to do that i don't how much their listening but if you are the leader of turkey the iraq he kurds in the syrian kurds don't get along with each other, the one thing that would unite them is if turkey were to

attack the syrian kurds they might push for that. stuart: what a mess, donald trump says stay out it is not our fight. what's he going to do stay out completely. >> he's not wrong, when you look at what i explained tell me a winning side that you can pick. i think we can push on turkey who fought isis for us and we can present hts to protect christians in syria which means a lot to people in this country but president trump criticized putin and he said why were you in ukraine and syria and look at the russian military has been humiliated and defeated. ukrainians still have their own navy and they were able to largely defeat a big pf the russian navy with her advanced sophisticated drones. trumpets criticize russia and iran and said what are you doing here, your position. if you russia and iran your position is weakened around the

middle east as i laid out with all the different proxy groups and the iranians have shown there willing to fight to the last era, they don't mind how many times are expendable. by the way the big picture what really matters to the united states, one tear group left who two weeks ago shot directly at u.s. navy ships and that is the houthis. the biden administration responded two weeks later but that's the group that's threatening and targeting u.s. military facilities diplomatic facilities and it looks like they may have attacked israel as well overnight they have been very sophisticated. waiters are interest lie in lies in the groups going after us that's the houthis. >> the security of israel is paramount. israel taking out these chemical weapons, israel is on the frontline in fighting terror forest. >> they're the ones doing the job for us.

thank you for joining us, always a pleasure. donald trump tapped former ambassador ric grenell to be the envoy for special missions. what kind of special missions do we know? >> driving u.s. policies towards our u.s. officers including north korea as well as venezuela. he says rick will work in the hottest spots around the world and he did mention those two countries and he did not specify the duties. we know that grenell is a loyalist in those contentious spots could include iran and syria. stuart: you know well he is a tough guy. >> is a friend of mine i would not want to be on the opposite table it is interesting the president mentioned north korea. in my opinion that's the toughest portfolio to take on its tractable in many ways. stuart: coming up elon musk could give nigel farage reform uk party $100 million, is elon becoming a plan and politics the answer is yes he looks like it,

savings it is possible congress could kill that one several, daylight savings going back to the 1940s is inconvenient and costly some republicans call the whole thing ridiculous and antiquated. it was two years ago the senate passed a bill to make daylight savings per minute it'd never move forward in the house. it appears that trump is pushing for the country to put it on standard time which summarizes enough all around now would be earlier, the american medical association says changing the clock in the spring is associated with significant public health and safety risks like increased risk of adverse cardiovascular, mood disorders and even motor vehicle crashes, not everyone supports illuminating daylight savings, business interest groups argue it could cost the country whole lot of money. in 2022 the national association of convenience stores wrote "the bottom line" daylight savings is good for business and commerce across the u.s. in our industry urges you to keep it in place did they want to make sure that the people are still out shopping. arizona and hawaii made the

if they were flying test drones or some agency of the federal government they would own it but the fact that they're saying there's no evidence means they have no knowledge, they don't know what this is. >> there's been drone sightings in seven states on the east and west coast. military and critical infrastructure are a top priority. over the weekend the patterson air force base near dayton, ohio shut down the airspace for hours telling fox news small unmanned aerial systems were spotted in the facility over patterson air force base between 13th and 14th of december that is friday and saturday. today installation leaders have determined not of the incursions impacted base residence, facilities or assets congressman jeff van drew said drones have hovered near a nuclear facility in salem county new jersey while dhs and fbi say at least some of the reported drone sightings are actually planes.

fox news flight team saw an example of that. thermal imaging shows what appeared to be a drone in new jersey turned out to be an airplane dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas was calling for legislative changes to empower state authorities. >> we want state and local authorities to also have the ability to counter drone activity under federal supervision, that is one important element that we have requested and we've heard echoed by the state and local officials themselves. >> mayorkas said will some of the sightings are in fact planes others are drones and we know the fbi received more than 5000 tips and fewer than 100 of them have resulted in information that they followed up on and they are still investigating on the information. stuart: nate foy, let's bring in drone expert brett velicovich.

somebody has to know who is putting the drones up there, why are we not being told who is putting them up. stuart: i'm wondering if he can hear what i'm saying, do we have contact with brett? are you there, can you hear me? , he cannot. back to the market we have the doubt up 82 points at this point plenty of green on your screen, look at that the nasdaq very nice gain up nearly three quarters of 1%, what do you say to that. >> i'm thinking of the drone situation and i'm thinking that google earth can locate my backyard and tell me where my lawn furniture is or the diving board in the pool. why can't the government assured us that we do or do not have the technology to determine what these drones are, who therefrom and have the capability, if you don't want to shoot them down,

jammed them. >> somebody knows what's going on, somebody knows who's putting them in the air, brett velicovich is back with us, somebody knows who is putting up the drones, why are we not being told, somebody knows somewhere, don't they. >> you would think so, the fact that we've learned from all of this were no longer in control of your airspace. it is a foreign concept to think our government does not know what's going on because were such a powerful country but i'm sorry to tell you, the truth is they don't know. we no longer dominate the world and counter drone technology we used to own it globally and that's what we put more money into this, no surprising for your viewers but we don't really focus a lot of our counter drone detection in the u.s. we focus overseas that's where the money is going and technology exist but the reason the u.s. government doesn't have answers is because they don't have a

widespread system in place to detect, deter and mitigate the drone threats and everybody's pointing to different agencies to say they're the one in charge and that's got a change we need to change the authorities get people at the local level the ability to stop this. >> a growing feeling that we should shoot them down. if you cannot identify and you don't know who's putting them up there, shoot them down, would you say that. the problem with shooting them down we need to define what that means if we talk about shooting it out with electronic warfare absolutely. if were talking about someone's in the backyard with a shotgun up in the air not a good idea, those bullets fall back down to the sky and the truth is the law states said if you do that and you shot a drone down you would be the one going to jail and that means we need to rely on federal resources to do something about it and i don't think were equipped to figure out we may never know what happened here. they called this a slight overreaction. look at this headline in the new york post from the editorial board, sorry team biden americans don't trust you on the drones or anything else the

chinese bible in order to have a credibility problem. , that's why nobody believes john kirby when he said there's nothing to see here we can see the drones in the airspace just because they told us before that that the chinese bible lands were no big deal over collecting information, i know what drones can do they can collect a lot of intelligence and fly over for a few minutes and the damages done is not just a high-power camera shining down on an area, the government has a credibility problem and they need to come out they need to come out quickly. somebody knows the government should find out and tell us please. brett velicovich, we're going to see a lot of you in the near future, i don't think the story is going away. we will see you soon. we are moments away from trump's remarks on the $100 billion softbank investment to america. we can see the podiums are getting ready for the 11:00 o'clock hour of varney is
