moments was donald trump himself. sources are telling us the president-elect who is in mar-a-lago right now apparently was on speaker phone with both reps the two hold-outs that voted against johnson right in those final hours after they voted against him, and we are told that he said this to them. "it be disrespectful to americans who voted in a historic presidential election to have the speaker's vote go to a second and third ballot" and it be disrespect full to me. he ended with this , and said we have a lot to do, let's get to it. apparently it worked. in an exclusive interview trump tells us a great honor to have helped this process has brought the gop conference closer together. now, johnson secured the gavel in the first round. not without a little drama though. we saw six republicans who refused to vote for him and three republicans who voted for somebody else but then again, members began huddling on the house floor and that's when that talk with trump happened.

there was a second conversation i'm told without trump. somebody in the room in that conversation told me that johnson promised these members he be more inclusive. it would not be a top-down conference and that good faith negotiators will work on these big bills like reconciliation. i'm told that johnson did not make any deals. here is what he said after getting the gavel. >> our people are asking for a thriving economy and a rebuilt middle class and strong borders and a strong military and we can deliver that. see , these objectives and these aims don't have an r or a d behind them. they have a usa. that's what we're about. >> [applause] reporter: a lot of happy folks right now that are celebrating with their families, their kids are here. grandkids but it's back to work next week on the trump agenda. liz: always great reporting thank you so much aishah hasnie good to see you. >> you too. >> we will act quickly and we will start by defending our nation's borders.

that's number one priority. we will secure the border. we will deport dangerous criminal illegal aliens and finally finish building the border wall. we're going to protect our industries from one-sided trade deals and bring overseas investments back to america's shores. that's right. >> [applause] >> we'll defeat the harmful effects of inflation and we'll make life affordable again for america's hard working people. as leaders of a nation, with vast natural resources, that god has blessed us with, it is our duty to restore america's energy dominance. that's what we will do. liz: okay, re-elected house speaker mike johnson. he was just speaking about how the house will now move on the trump agenda. it's about ending inflation. shutting the border, getting law and order back, ending wars around the world. let's bring in from house foreign affairs florida congressman maria salazar. congresswoman great to see you happy new year thanks for joining us. do you think house republicans

are now unified to do the trump agenda because congressman mike lawler told us he got just two years before the mid-terms to fix america. are they unified to get it done? >> we are and today is the glorious day. we are so happy. god has been merciful on us and on mike johnson. he's the right guy, like you said he's a decent guy. he will compromise and what we need to do, what the american public told us. the trump agenda. he won by the popular vote, so thank god we're going to start doing it starting monday. liz: okay so voters gave president trump a mandate for sweeping reform. can house lawmakers package all of president trump's reform in what he calls one big beautiful bill? the budget reconciliation bill. that means you could bypass senate democrats with just a 51 simple majority vote in the senate. can you get one bill done? >> we can, and we're going to be talking about that tomorrow. we're all going to get together into one room and we're going to

talk about what reconciliation is going to look like but reconciliation is basically two things. sealing the border and making the tax cuts permanent and i'm voting for the tax cuts, because the tax cuts and i have the numbers here. 70% of americans in the package that we have and in place right now that we're making less than 50,000, they made $5,000 more, and 6 million people were lifted out of poverty. that only happened in four years so we've got to make those tax cuts permanent and that is why we need reconciliation so we in the senate only have 51 or 52 votes and we can make it the law of the land. we are working on that and border. liz: you think all of the republicans will get that done, because you know, tax bills have a lot of give and take and pork barrel rolling in it to get what people want. can you get the tax cut? it's a $5 trillion tax hike if those trump tax cuts expire.

>> well they are on the books and like i said they helped the american people ever since then. they are going to now in 2025 they are going to, we need to make them permanent and i know that the new york delegation has an issue with some tax breaks that they want to put on the books, but i am sure, and this is the spirit that i can share with you. within the house gop members of the house of representatives, we know we have one mandate, which is to implement trump's policies. what he promised. what he told the american people he was going to do. we are his party, so we need to be siding with him and speeding this through the next two years so we can show the american people that they send us here for something. not to be just playing around and that's what we were fearing today but thank god it did not happen. one round, one speaker, is done. liz: okay so, it sounds like there was unity.

because if it's not one big beautiful reconciliation bill it's going to require really complex maneuvers to overcome democrat filibusters in the senate so you do need unity, political dexterity. you know, american voters are done. they are done with biden and democrat gaslighting especially on inflation. inflation is transitory, blaming corporate greed and pandemic lockdowns, price gougerring. blaming meat producers, farmers, grocery stores you name it but not march than $82 trillion in spending eating up nearly 25% of u.s. gdp so are all republicans on board with cutting waste, cutting government over spending, embracing because we've got far left democrats now the game plan is attack musk, attack vivek ramaswamy. that's going together the distraction. >> no. the doge caucus and i'm part of it, we're all the 200-plus members of congress that belong to the gop. we all know that we got to do what you just mentioned in two

years, because that is what the american people are demanding. i repeat. trump won the popular vote. that's the best, best message that anyone can be sending they want that done and the anti-wokeness and border and the inflation. we've got to be patching all those holes of the democrats left for four years, now is time and i assure you, that we know that very clearly. liz: congresswoman salazar, emmy award winning journalist great to see you. happy new year. >> wonderful, you too, liz, my love. liz: sure. >> may our god bless our police and first responders, may god protect our troops and we'll keep you fully informed, thank you. >> [overlapping speakers] >> have you spoken to president trump? >> the sugar bowl is back on. kickoff is going to take off very shortly if i don't get this thing done we're going to be in real trouble.

according to the intelligence community terrorism from white supremacy is the most lethal threat today, not isis, not al qaeda, white supremacy. liz: well, law enforcement say it's totally wrong about that. that was president biden first not taking questions on the new orleans isis terror attack that killed 14 and wounded 35. the president too was joking about needing to watch the sugar bowl ending that presser, that happened yesterday. then he claimed white supremacy is a top threat to america. it's not. joining us former department of homeland security official and former secret service agent chuck marino. always a pleasure to have you on happy new year. >> same to you. liz: he's appearing to down play isis terror threats. show the list of the numerous national security problems that erupted under biden. former top fbi officials say it's foreign terrorism, isis, al qaeda and china. what's your reaction to biden here? >> well he has failed at

keeping our country and its citizens safe, and that's been obvious. the facts and numbers speak for themselves. he did not keep the main thing, the main thing, and that was the threat of terrorism from terrorist organizations like al qaeda and isis, or from americans that are radicalized by those groups. look, it's so important that the trump administration starts day one effectively and efficiently because we need competent people in the white house to implement competent policies that reinforce our national security, that they don't undercut it like we seen the last four years. he has made this country a lot more dangerous place and has set us back decades with respect to our homeland security. liz: okay, let's thank you for that. let's show what incoming senate majority leader john thune and

john barrosso, and senator marsha blackburn and mike collins all say the senate must now confirm trump's cabinet nominees notably pete hegseth, pam bondi, tulsi gabbard. they say lives are depending on it. do you think senate republicans all do that? are they going to move quickly? >> yeah, they have to. look, the american people expect it. they expect to see the border secured. they expect to see immigration laws enforced. they expect to see sanctuary cities be held accountable to actually enforce the law and if they don't, to have their funding taken away, their federal funding taken away, so look. they expect to see a lot of action in the first few days of this administration via executive orders to get this country's national security back on track. liz: they have to clean it out. you know, let's listen to

democrats on the white house attacking trump's nominee for fbi director kash patel. watch this. >> with patel you don't have to stretch. he puts it right out there. he's going to close part of the fbi that helps protect us against foreign terrorism and then of course he's got his enemies list of people who he thinks the fbi should go to work on, that he's going to be bringing with him, and he's got his pledge to go after people like you, criminally or civilly, he says, if in his view, when the government's view, the press isn't telling the truth. liz: okay, we talked to officials. they are saying none of what he just said is true. msnbc just took that hook and line. he's worried about what kash patel will do just after two attacks in the last week alone after fbi officials spied and did the botched trump russia after the fbi spied on school board parents and catholics

against abortion? after they raided trump's mar-a-lago but not biden's garage with classified u.s. secrets? by the way did the fbi find any terrorists and first lady milania's dressers? really? you know what i mean? do you understand what i'm saying that the media top spent over at msnbc when we have serious threats inside this country, they seem so off the wall tone deaf and out of touch. >> oh, maybe under the trump administration the fbi will actually get better at calling a terrorist what it is, a terrorist act. liz: chuck marino thank you for joining us we really appreciate you good to see you. >> thank you. liz: the latest on this breaking news new york judge merchawn is doubling down on lawfare now demanding sentencing for president trump right before trump's inauguration. this is in manhattan d. a. alvin bragg's case former u.s. prosecutors, lawyers, legal pros say will easily get overturned on appeal due to multiple

constitutional violations. coming up next, attorney horace cooper will react to the details and break it down. also, tonight, this story. >> i'm not just maga. liz: we're digging into this news coming in. speaker johnson did keep the speaker gavel today. now democrats are turning to attacking elon musk. elon musk is going to try to cut literally trillions of your tax dollars they're wasting on over spending. we've got news the tens of billions democrats demanded for more irs audits to audit you to pay for all that spending is on the chopping block plus this story. >> you know -- >> i'll lead an effective strategy to mobilize pressure. >> after i sign the act into law --

liz: okay we've got media watchdogs hammering the media and biden's white house team for covering up biden's cognitive decline. we've got the details. it's happening right as biden is trying to undermine trump in a new big way. you'll find out what that is, stay with us, plus this story. >> border crossings under president joe biden have gone down 70%. this really was a historic flawlessly-run campaign. she had queen latifa never endorses anyone. the idea that identity politics was the problem for democrats is laughable. liz: we've got new details on how msnbc joy reid is again misleading her msnbc viewers. sheriff clear lapped responds to the sound. we've got a big show tonight please stay with us, we will be right back after the break.

liz: welcome back. the breaking news that new york judge juan merchan now says president trump must be sentenced on january 10 right before trump's inauguration and manhattan d. a. alvin bragg's case, a case legal pros and prosecutors say will easily get overturned on appeal because it's loaded with constitutional

violations. fox news bryan llenas live with the latest. great to see you. reporter: liz, good to see you. good evening. judge is writing in his 20 page decision denying president-elect trump's motion to dismiss this falsified business record 34 felony account conviction. he did not dismiss this case. he said that because the conviction would not interfere in his estimation, with president-elect trump's ability to do his job in the executive branch. instead president-elect says he will sentence president-elect trump on january 10 just 10 days before inauguration day, but he says he will not sentence trump to jail time. instead, he's inclined to sentence trump to what's called an unconditional discharge which means trump would receive no punishment, no probation, no fine, no prison time, but

the conviction would still stand and he will have a chance to appeal this case. judge is writing "it seems proper at this juncture to make known the courts inclination to not impose a sentence of incarceration but one the people can see they no longer view as a recommendation" and as such, in balancing the aforementioned considerations in conjunction with the underlying concerns of the presidential immunity doctrine, a sentence of an unconditional discharge appears to be the most viable solution to ensure and allow the defendant to pursue his appellate options. president-elect trump spokesman said president trump must be allowed to continue the presidential transition process unobstructed by the remains of "this witch hunt" and trump spoke to fox news exclusively following this decision by judge merchan, and he said this is a totally conflicted judge doing the work

for the democrat party because every other case has failed. i did absolutely nothing wrong. this is a political witch hunt by biden and the doj and they want to see if they can get a pound of flesh because every case has failed including deranged jack smith. liz, president-elect trump does not have to show up here in person. he will be allowed on january 10 to be at this sentence virtually. liz? liz: bryan llenas, thanks for that update. appreciate you. let's bring in proctor 21 chair horace cooper. what do you make of what's going on here? when you heard this what was your reaction? what do you think? >> well this is really pitiful. my old boss would say about judge mershan, you can't be this wrong by accident. this ruling is constitutionally crippled. one, it does not incorporate and understand the importance of the immunity ruling,

the landmark decision, by the supreme court. there are significant criminal procedure issues. the statute of limitations, the ability of taking a misdemeanor case, and magically transforming it into a felony. these types of issues have made this particular ruling and this particular case against the president so constitutionally infirm, this case shouldn't have gone on but it occurred precisely to have this headline. president found to be a felon. first time in american history. that's its only purpose and that's not the way the law is supposed to work. liz: this case feels like an asterisk. all of the other cases are gone

but judge merchsn claims this somehow doesn't violate the supreme court upholding president trump's immunity doctrine, plus it doesn't violate the presidential transition act, the supremacy clause, so now, it seems like the judge is trying to place himself above the supreme court. let's go through the constitutional violations. the jury in this case did not have to come to unanimous decision on whatever the underlying offense was. the state you served federal powers over campaign finance laws, there was a legal gag order plus the judge did not allow chair smith to testify, as you note, this is a case that dates back to 2006. it was a misdemeanor, books and records case. those 34 counts are each of the legal, excuse me, the bookkeeping entries for payments out the door for stormy daniels or whatever, but it was so jerry rigged and put together with masking tape and staples and glue to boost up a misdemeanor case and to

felonies that weren't really there. so for him to keep going with this before the inauguration, it seems like he's trying to embarrass president trump. >> well he is, and the problem here is if this really is going to have to go to the united states supreme court, what a shame that it will require a smackdown like that. i predict that even within the state of new york, this case is going to be dismissed. it best, at best the judge could have ordered retrial and then suspended that determination in light of the fact that the president was inaugurated, but the statute itself has been misused. everything you outline here, if he were in a criminal procedure class at our law school, he would get an f. the judge did this to be

political. this is part of lawfare. this is not part of the notion of constitutional adjudication. liz: yeah, we know. we are hearing that, you know, manhattan d. a. alvin bragg's team were in contact with the biden white house. we haven't confirmed that yet. we've been working on that. horace cooper pleasure to have you on thanks for helping us out with that story good to see you. >> thank you. >> should we be double masking? and as the cdc recommends you want at least two layers within the mask as a physical barrier? is nothing wrong with people wearing masks. liz: remember masks do not work? masks don't help? we've got a new report. mask mandates could be coming back in a growing number of u.s. states. why? doctors now warning about a quad-demic of four viruses. should you be worried? dr. peter mulholland is here and knows what the to do also

tonight this story. >> you know, [inaudible] >> i'll lead an effective strategy to mobilize [inaudible] >> after i sign impact into law. liz: okay president biden, his allies in the media and his white house aids, they are increasingly questioning that he is cognitively impaired. but we've got this peaceful transfer of power president biden promised. we've got new details on how biden is trying to undercut president trump. next we're going to show you that. please stay right there. we will be back. >> we'll have a peaceful transfer of power here in america. >> we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power. >> [applause] >> we believe in the peaceful transfer of power.

liz: welcome back. the new trump era begins today

in congress. house speaker mike johnson keeps his speaker gavel today so now, the democrats we're hearing reports they will ramp up their attack against elon musk and vivek ramaswamy and doge. the department of government efficiency claiming things like unspecified conflicts. joining us now fox news contributor liz peek. liz? didn't voters reject democrats here, particularly the far left because these are the same democrats who demanded the irs audit and track little $600 phone app spending by taxpayers, but doing nothing to stop the government wasting trillions and trillions of taxpayer dollars. >> liz, this doge effort, the effort to cut government waste is incredibly popular and democrats simply don't know what to do about it. their problem is that they assess the value of projects simply by how much money they can spend. they talk about biden being a consequential president not because he's accomplished

anything, but because he got a lot of bills passed and spent hundreds of billions of dollars on pet projects. this is a real kind of come-up-ins for democrats because that is their whole montra. it's not about accomplishing anything. it's not about moving the business of the people forward. it's about signing big checks, and i think, you know, look. if you look at polling everybody recognizes that the government is riddled with stupid expenditures whether it's money on magic or money on securing the border, stuff that most americans really don't believe in and if you don't think i'm right, go on the doge website on x, which has already 2.4 million followers and it is a lively robust excited conversation about getting rid of some of the stupid stuff that we spend money on. liz: yeah, i mean, all of that is inflationary. it's causing inflation to go up.

the chicago fed said that. san francisco fed researchers say that. former obama officials say that. you know, so, the other thing too is you make a good point that they are mistaking all this over-spending for some kind of achievement or accomplishment because now this is another story. republicans are moving to stop democrat spending for more irs audits or taxpayers. republicans just froze more than $20 billion in new spending for the irs. you know, liz, they initially wanted an extra 80 billion to the irs for audits cut to 60 billion and now irs official democrats are complaining this is not a good thing here. >> yeah. liz what they are saying is if they aren't given that extra money, $20 billion, they might not be able to uncover 140 million in tax fraud amongst wealthy businesses and americans. okay, so wait a minute. $20 billion to spend to root out $140 million in tax misbehavior?

i don't think that's a very good calculation but the democrats aren't very good at calculations, and they aren't very good at figuring out where our money should be spent, so if i were the republicans i would not give an inch on this. liz: okay liz peek you're terrific thanks for joining us great to see you. >> thanks for having me, liz. >> this is, and you know what? i don't really, start your tape right now, because i'm about to tell you the truth. and f you if you can't handle the truth. this version of biden intellectually analytically st. best biden ever. >> the reality is nothing like the distaupe yankees picture that the republicans are trying to paint of this , you know, president and he's sharp as a tack. >> anybody, any aid who engages with him or reporters.

we can see this. the gears of his mind are working. >> and biden is actually in good shape. liz: okay, that was really incompetent analysis totally off the wall and wrong. the media claiming biden is sharp as a tack? special counsel robert her said he's too senile to stand trial overtaking u.s. secrets. this calls into question whose calling shots in the white house. we've got news joe biden wants to undermine trump with the new executive order to permanently ban new lease sales for oil & gas drilling in certain regions of the outer continental shelf and also, this. stay on this for just a second. axios is reporting joe biden and his team are talking about bombing iran's nuclear facilities that the would have handed trump a major problem. joining us they were thinking of bombing it recently. joining us kings view asset management cio fox news contributor scott martin. scott? you know, when we see the media roll with this idea that biden is all there, when even his aids are leaking that he's not, and now they are trying to

undermine, biden is trying to undermine trump. trump wants to unleash u.s. oil & gas to lower inflation, plus stop russia and iran's cash flow machine driving russia's war in ukraine and iran's terrorism in the mid east but they think biden is so much that he's okay with all of these moves and what he's doing? he's undermining trump here. >> yeah, the moves he's made e-mac with the middle east and russia so far we could agree were pretty bad so i don't know where some of those were getting their analysis but look. you're putting europe at risk and a lot of the world at risk too with what we've done with iran, as far as the green new deal goes. maybe that was the deal e-mac. maybe the green new deal was the cash bill iran was going to have by exporting all the oil we didn't export so look going forward trump's solutions are much better than what we've had and something the world can actually be excited about than being held hostage. liz: the other thing too is china is saying biden is totally wrong with his climate agenda push. china is sticking with hybrid

cars so moving away from electric cars doing hybrid gas cars so biden was totally wrong with trying to get rid of gas cars and only going electric. it's so off the wall. this biden white house is truly one of the worst we've ever seen. they also according to the free beacon let iran rake in at least 200 billion bucks. the biden white house con thusly ignored u.s. intelligence showing iran was expanding its oil and fuel smuggling operation dramatically under biden. iran funds hezbollah, hamas, attacking israel almost daily. iran attacks its own people. major humanitarian violations, amnesty international, u.n. watchdogs say but obama and biden are giving them iran more money? that undercuts their claim of being humanitarian. >> very much so and it puts the world at risk, e-mac and also look at some of the numbers too. you mentioned we wondered over the course of the last few months and years where iran was getting all that money. we figured it out. so if you look at going forward

what trump is going to impose at least for the united states oil production and certainly around the world you've got to look at a greener pasture here going forward at least for somebody to stand up. liz: do you think trump can clean all this up? >> i think it's going to be a long-haul, e-mac. there's fits and starts but at least the start is going to be done versus the give-up we've had so far. liz: scott martin you're terrific happy new year thanks for joining us. >> you too. >> right now, we don't have complete full compliance throughout the country of the fundamental public health measures that are necessary to prevent the spread. there's nothing wrong with people wearing two masks. liz: but dr. fauci said repeatedly masks do not work. remember that one? now we've got a new report, four viruses could be hitting america all at the same time. doctors warning about that and now we've got five states talking about bringing back mask

mandates. is it needed? will they botch all this again? dr. peter mccullough will join us with common sense and also this story tonight. >> how quickly life goes on, because life does go on, but also, for those spectators and workers safe? the thing is crime is actually down in america year-over-year. liz: no it's not. that's wrong. joy reid again boxes it. also we have two terror attacks. again, msnbc and the media still trying to falsely claim crime is down under joe biden. justice department data shows violent crime is up nearly 40% on biden's watch. we'll take it on and also we've got texas sheriff thaddius cleveland is here to set the record straight, but first we want to hear from our buddies dagen and brian. brian: liz, we have got a big show. this is when i get out my yellow note pad for because victor davis hanson will be here and he's going to talk new orleans and he's going to give his take

on why the weakest president in american history is about to be followed by what he says is the most audacious. dagen: we love audacity and nicole neely and jason rantz together on parents defending education report that biden's department of injustice spent nine figures pushing dei on kids in classrooms, so if you can figure out a way to climb that pyramid of adversity, it's only opportunity. no consequences. we saw that in new orleans, now didn't we? top of the hour.

knew mow virus. cdc is reporting this, are you worried about this coming out of china? >> you know, there have been rare fatalities due to this viral infection. again, the use of, you know, particularly iodine-based nasal sprays, throat-sprays and gargles should handle this. secondary antibiotics if patients get really sick. elizabeth: which antibiotics would you recommend? >> for most of these infections, you know, the killer is the secondary staph infection, so an anti-staff cockal penicillin would be fine. elizabeth: which sprays would you recommend? >> clear, cofix rx, immune mix which we feature at the wellness company. the brand doesn't matter so much, it's daily, twice a day use is what really works. elizabeth: doctor, can youing plain why maxes do not work? >> finish masks do not work?

>> about 15-20% of the air goes around the mask, so right there you can imagine the mask is not going to be perfect. and then the viruses are too small. they pass right through the fires of the mask. we only wear a mask in the hospital in respiratory isolation primarily so the nurses and doctors don't give staph lo cockal droplets to a sick patient in the icu. it's actually to protect the patient from us. elizabeth: that's really interesting. are you worried about any of what we were just talking about? >> no, not particularly worried with. you know, we have a prompt health care response system in the united states, and the public is getting more and more educated -- elizabeth: yeah. >> -- and managing things early at home. elizabeth: thanks to you, are doctor. thanks for watching "the evening edit." let's send it over to "the bottom line.
