>> trace: merry christmas, everyone. >> sandra: merry christmas. >> kennedy: fox news alert, president trump thinking a stunning move demanding congress amend its covid relief package. the president slamming the current bill saying there's not enough aid for americans and businesses struggling here at home, but instead the bill sends out billions in aid to foreign countries. the president calling for direct payments of $2,000 to americans, far above the $600 congress approved, signaling he could veto the current bill. watch. speak of the bill they are now planning to send back to my desk is much different than anticipated. it really is a disgrace.

it is called the covid relief bill, but it has almost nothing to do with covid. i'm asking congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 $22,000. i'm also asking congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation. >> kennedy: get rid of it all. backing the call for bigger stimulus checks, all this as we are now just five days away from a government shutdown if the bill is not signed, and you are watching "outnumbered." i'm kennedy, look into it. we got fox's correspondent molly line, fox news correspondent gillian turner, senior editor at "the federalist" and also fox news contributor, mollie hemingway, and joining us today, gopac chairman david develop a welcome, everyone. >> david: hello. >> kennedy: merry christmas eve eve. the eve of the eaves. david, let me start with you. when you have aoc, the

president, and rand paul all mad at a single massive piece of legislation, it means something has gone horribly wrong. >> david: exactly, the president has never been a fan of omnibus bills. throughout his presidency he has said, "send me clean bills." we could have done that, kennedy. nancy pelosi has led this second round ever since the summer. we could have broken down, the congress could have broken down every one of the funding packages and vote on each one. typical of congress and why president trump's supporters are so indebted to him and so committed to him is he is committed to trying to change the way washington works. here we are again, and of the year, and congress has sent him a bill that not only has some covid relief in it, but many other christmas balls o on the tree. >> kennedy: so many balls, and

only one tree. let's discuss the things that could be 86 from the bill. the president obviously has some very eager supporters for the $2,000 check to get individuals. it would be $4,000 per couple depending how much you make. what could they get rid of in this bill that is wearing down? >> molly: we are talking about democrats. they are hopping on board saying we could get this done as soon as this week, i'll get out there, get a vote on the floor and make an amendment happen. we'll see what actually occurs and if that comes to pass. what really will happen in the senate later on. when it comes to the list that could be cut out, a lot could be cut out. this is absolutely massive. it's enormous. it even got a nickname, a "coronabus," for how huge it is. i don't think anyone is surprised, here we are, and other holiday weekend, congress is trying to get something done, yet another shutdown looming.

they don't have a lot of time to do it, and if they do come to some agreement on this too thousand dollar amount of money that seems to be fairly popular in some circles, they may have t shopping some things. but there are some big items out there, billions of dollars into foreign countries. there are plenty of places where potentially could see a little slicing. i don't know if it'll happen, i don't know if they have the time. who knows if it'll happen in the senate. >> kennedy: i think they need marie kondo and they pay it if they don't speculate, get rid of them completely. mollie hemingway, you have outraged democrats and republicans, not only the amount of money spent on it, but the fact that they were given essentially no time to read it. if it's false outrage, if congress men an end senators come out but then go back and vote for it? >> mollie: it's a great sign of how broken everything in congress is paid congress has

one job, to pass the budget for the year. they had the whole year to do it. they do this thing where they hold people hostage. they know people need covid relief, they dangle that out there and say, "we know you need this, so you'll have to pass this horrifically bloated and break ridiculous bill with aid g all over the world." not just being sent other countries, but those mechanisms that filter government tax money that make a lot of people who have close access to congress wealthy here in d.c. it is the swamp writ large. these things should be separated. they always should have been separated. the age of americans who have had their lives destroyed by radical government shutdowns should have been coming a long time before now, they should separate these things out so people can actually critically understand what's going on. the looming threat of a government shutdown used to really terrify people. but in a year where the entire country was shut down, businesses shuttered, restaurants destroyed, small

businesses that had lasted for decades were unable to withstand with the government put them through, through these shutdowns, it doesn't mean so much to be able to avoid a government shutdown. i think with the president is showing is that he still is the president, he is more in line with that sentiment throughout the country then he is with the swamp, and he still has something to say. >> kennedy: so how does this offend whole process, gillian? of the president's claim for those $2,000 relief checks. and the $600 that nancy pelosi might term crumbs. does this offset the spending? >> gillian: the problem with the president's proposal for republican lawmakers is a going to be hard pressed find a lot of americans who aren't supportive of the idea of upping the ante and getting checks for $2,000 rather than $600. it is unappealing proposal on the face of it. my question here, maybe david can answer, it's about the timing. why did the president wait until the 11th hour to interject these

objections? he really stayed kind of sidelined, i think purposely, during the negotiations over the last couple of months at least. he really wanted to let congress wrangle this out and see what they could come up with. but why didn't he make this, what amounts to a veto threat, clear from day one? the problem now is not just a looming government shutdown, which, as mollie rightly points out, i don't think too many people would be up in arms about, but a lot of people, i think it's something like 12-15000000 americans now stand to have their own employment assistance labs over the coming days and weeks as this plays o out. david, why do you think the president waited until last night? >> david: he didn't wait until last night, gillian. he's been very clear what he wanted in this bill paid right before the election he said he wanted a big bill. now congress -- >> gillian: but he never told the two sides they wanted to get the $2,000. >> david: last time i checked,

steve mnuchin mark meadows were at the negotiating for the bill. it is factually incorrect to say the white house wasn't involved in negotiations to get it here. >> gillian: david, i said the president, not the white house. we all know that members were there, but nobody floated the $2,000, that it was going to be a sticking point for the president where he might actually veto the bill. >> david: your suggestion to somehow meadows and minasian were going rogue and not keeping the president apprised of what's going on. they don't get to ultimately vote on the last bill. the bill is what congress put beforehand. where we are now is, if the president precedes and vetoes the legislation, which he may do, then does pelosi and senator mcconnell have the votes to override the veto? part of this calculation now has to be, now that we are at the end of the year, and should joe biden be inaugurated on the 20th, the dynamics change.

he would then have a democratic president and a democratic house against a republican senate, where right now you have a republican president and a republican senate against the house. the greatest tragedy of all of this is there has to be another relief bill if we don't eventually get the vaccine money continuing to flow and get more people taking vaccines, because states will continue to keep their economies shut down and we'll need another relief bill. we need to break down the vaccine funding and break out the payments to the unemployed and help americans. >> kennedy: we are breaking up payments everybody, david. that's the problem. every conceivable nation and cause gets a little something in their stocking with this legislation, and that is what is going to weigh down the economy. rand paul made the great point, republicans and democrats acting like socialists. they are acting like money grows

on trees, with impunity they are just granting this massive giveaway, and he says, why stop at $600? why stop at $2,000? why not $4,000? it's a great question and no one has an answer for that because they all enjoy the process. they enjoy the idea of tacking on their porky projects and needs at the last minute. speaking of pork, we've got new developments in the investigation into the origins of the term pressure probe. the president giving special counsel new authority that could have a major impact in the investigation. details on that coming up next. and listen to this, portland becomes the first city to see a black lives matter over the violent protests and the serious injuries inflicted on police officers. details on that, a first of its kind lawsuit, and biden doubles down, dismissing the investigation into his son, hunter biden, as russian disinformation pay but is it

>> yes, yes. god love you, man. >> gillian: he says as of right now there's not an obvios number-one pick. the investigation into his son would not weigh on his decision. take a listen. speak of the issue of the investigation of your son, has it come up in discussions with the team and with potential candidates? >> i guarantee you i'm going to do what i said. the attorney general of the united states of america is not the president's lawyer. i will appoint someone who i expect to enforce the law as the law is written. >> gillian: kennedy, it's like the president-elect was almost reading your mind there. as you always say, that peter doocy, he is a 1-horse pony. [laughter] >> kennedy: he really is. at least he didn't say he was a lying dog face pony soldier. he's just a 1-horse pony.

normally at fox news we like our report is to be at least two or 3-horse pony's. but peter went late yesterday. [laughter] i'm not quite sure why the president-elect is avoiding questions on this, and i'm not -- i'm also flabbergasted that there aren't more people who are covering him, screaming at the same types of questions that really require answers. these are not wild conspiracy theories, there is nothing that the president-elect team has put forward to discount some of the reporting on this from "the wall street journal" and "the new york post." the amazing thing is that he has just being utterly dismissive. saying that he's proud of his son doesn't negate the fact that his son had his hand out, perhaps in service to his father, to china, for tens of millions of dollars, not to mention russia and ukraine.

>> president trump is unclear or adamant that he thinks the special counsel is needed here. the attorney general, bill barr, which if i'm not mistaken today is his last day as the attorney general. he says he doesn't think it's necessary. what are the real prospects that a potential biden -- excuse me, a potential biden attorney general would move ahead and appoint a special counsel. is it off the table or is it possible? >> as possible, absolutely. the challenges joe biden needs to know he needs to address it, and his inner circle knows he can't address it. the part of the clip we didn't hear was he alleged it was russian misinformation, which is, in some ways, he acknowledges there is something to this that needs to be looked at. it's not russian misinformation, it is hunter biden

misinformation. maybe he didn't tell dad everything that was going on, hence why we need a special counsel to find out exactly what happened. but the fbi is looking into it. as we learn more, we'll know whether we need a special counsel. >> gillian: mollie hemingway, when you look at this issue, do you see this, the hunter biden story? do you see it as an ethics issue or do you see it as more of a foreign influence operation, and national security issue, if you will? frame it up. >> mollie: first off, if we apply the same standards to joe biden that we applied to donald trump, joe biden himself would already have a special counsel on him for expressio obn of justice paid he's making false claims about the nature of the investigation into his son. he said the investigation was found play. these are standards that were used to put a special counsel that was very damaging against the trump administration that went on for several years. it's also just flat out wrong

that it is russian disinformation. we had a media and democrat party and figures he played around with actual russian disinformation, which was the steele dossier, for years. but this is not russian disinformation. before the election you had an actual business associate of the biden family saying joe biden was lying when he said he knew nothing of the family business in which the biden family members trade on joe biden aim to get huge sums of cash from foreign governments or companies linked to foreign governments, whether in china, ukraine, russia, or any of the countries we are dealing with. you had documents showing that this was a real thing, he had real journalism that was suppressed by big tech and big media. not russian disinformation. it is a hugely important thing that this investigation be allowed to be done and completed. more than that, that we really think about the propriety of having joe biden's family trade on access to him with these foreign governments, particularly china, which is the biggest threat to the country right now.

>> gillian: mollie, i'll stick with you with a quick follow-up on that. democrats are saying, "he is the answer." it's that joe biden never had any plans to involve his son and his administration, he wasn't going to appoint into a white house post. so who cares? >> mollie: right, but the way the business works, which wasn't just with hunter biden but with james biden, was selling that access to joe biden. these policy issues that matter so much of the country, are we going to keep on treating china as the adversary it is, that we did under the trump administration? or are we going to go back to helping them grow and strengthen their country and economy? that's why these ties are so important that they be revealed and investigated. >> gillian: more from molly line coming up on the other side of the break. i owe you one, molly, i'm sorry. special counsel investigating the origins of the russia probe, we'll talk next about what this means for the biden administration. plus, a first of its kind brand-new lawsuit. detroit is reportedly taking

move infuriating blm supporters, including rashida tlaib, whose district includes detroit. she's calling the suit "an unthinkable assault on our constitutional rights. "pretty interesting move here. the big question is, will the city see any money? kennedy? steel and i don't think so. i think it's really hard to prove what black lives matter is. it takes various forms. there is an organization called black lives matter, then there is a movement called black lives matter. for people who use hashtags, that could be a very different expression of support than the people who are trying to raise money. one of the hardest things they are trying to prove with antifa and black lives matter is that there is a cohesive network of people and they have sort of a top-down chain of command that is provable in court. that is really what you need,

but if you have individuals who are hurting cops, causing concussions in lacerations and permanent partial blindness, if you can prove that, then yes, they should not be qualified immunity for people who assault each other. >> molly: the civil conspiracy aspect of this is particularly interesting. it's very hard to identify some of these folks that are out there on the streets committing some of this violence. of course, that's a lie sometimes when they were caught, individuals were charged, but this is a much broader effort. the repeated violence should negate the argument, there is a free-speech argument to be made, but all the violence should negate what actually happened out there in the streets. david, what are your thoughts on that? >> david: we need to be trying to find new ways to fund our police officers. if democratic congresswoman rashida tlaib and officials when trying to defund the police, and

he didn't have democratic prosecutors across the country, including in new york and virginia, where most of us are, trying to get rid of bail reform and cash bail, doing everything they can to ultimately strip the judicial system of the funds that keep us all safe. so now you see detroit now trying something new. kennedy is on the mark. it probably isn't going to get them any money, but they are trying. >> molly: mollie, i want to bring you in here. is this a symbolic effort to say what happened was wrong? someone should be held responsible in some way, and we are going to try to get some kind of acknowledgment, some sort of reimbursement? your thoughts? >> mollie: just absolutely interesting news that detroit is trying this. it's obvious throughout the summer that these riots were organized and well-funded, and they caused billions of dollars of damage throughout the count

country. it could just be one of many efforts where people are trying to somehow rectify what happened in terms of the destruction of property and whatnot. it wasn't just the destruction of property or the violence against individuals that happened in the moment, though. a lot of what happened was to destroy any chance some of the cities have for a future where shops will feel comfortable coming back in and whatnot. maybe what they should try and do is join with other cities that were similarly ravaged, get help with the justice department. even though these are decentralized organizations, it was clear the funding came from somewhere in the organization came from somewhere. they may just need more help in determining where it all came from. >> molly: gillian, cities you acted so differently when these protests were happening within their cities. some turned for federal help, some did not. some had protests that went on days and days, some had quickly wrapped up protests. when you look at this effort now, a lot of cities suffered severe damage. if they have any success here in

detroit, do you think this could be something of the cities might try to apply? >> gillian: absolutely. i think it's a test case in that sense for other cities across the country who are really devastated over the summer that protests that turned into riots. the other thing at stake or at play in this case, i think, his first amendment issues. part of what the city is trying to emphasize here is that peaceful protest is protected, violence, rioting, looting, arson is not, assaulting police officers, definitely not. i think that is what -- whether they end up getting any remuneration or not, i think the point that the city of detroit is trying to make here is let's start distinguishing between peaceful protests and nonpeaceful protests. because people haven't done that all year. >> molly: when you see this unfold and come i can't help but look back it will be seen in the cities across the country and wonder if there's symbolism in e end. there's also the possibility they lose the lawsuit, that it

goes nowhere. who knows what we will see when judges start to look at things? kennedy, your final thoughts before we head for break? steel and i think gillian is absolutely right it's an important distinction between peaceful protests, which are necessary, and constitutionally protected, and violent riots. they are not the same thing, and they should not be categorized under the same umbrella. it's like saying john wayne gacy was a mostly antisocial person. >> molly: last night go, man pay thank you so much, kennedy. as governor andrew, and governor newsom are facing backlash, our liberal policies driving folks away? plus, what outgoing attorney general by saying about the durham probe, details next. music the music of nobody understands the meaning of home like a veteran.

>> gillian: new developments into the investigation into the origins of the temperature probe. president trump granting special counsel john durham authority to use classified information for the remainder of his investigation. outgoing attorney general bill barr, who appointed durham special counsel last october, said this. take a listen. >> they are making good progress now, and i expect they will be able to finish their work. >> gillian: david, democrat say this whole durham probe has been a big bust. they say he was supposed to issue this blockbuster report, he was going to exonerate president trump, maybe throw around some indictments, none of that is likely to happen, and this is just the attorney general trying to give this investigation some oxygen on his way out the door. what do you say? >> david: democrats have already set the precedent with the mueller investigation the special prosecutor's should get to fully complete their

investigation, and the president and the attorney general have the power given to them by the constitution to set the parameters for the investigati investigation. we need to let them continue, and when he has concluded, report the evidence. it's interesting that we are still talking about russia as a leader they are today, joe biden still talking about russia as he tries to deflect away from hunter. >> gillian: mollie hemingway, do you think biden -- president biden, when he's president -- his attorney general will keep this going or shut it down? >> mollie: i think it'll be allowed to get going just because it would be a political nightmare for him to shut this down. the order that came out yesterday was interesting, because it indicated about relationships with the grand jury that is investigating this. specifically, leased to be the

case, which is that intelligence agencies could veto the presentation of classified information to a grand jury. this is saying the attorney general has to make that designation. this suggests there is something very specific and play about the investigation. also it is true that special counsel ute is adding prosecutors. even though a lot of people are so frustrated by what is happening with the russia collusion and conspiracy theories, there is some glimmer of hope that, at some point, somewhere down the road, there might be some justice for what was done to the trump administration and his supporters with the peddling of that collusion conspiracy theory. attorney general barr seems to indicate that he feels confident that the justice will proceed in that people will be able to find out just what happened to allow that russian conspiracy theory to be infected throughout the government and in the political discourse. >> gillian: molly line, let's talk about the timing of this a little bit. we've been hearing about the durham probe for a year.

a lot of anticipation surrounding it. at first everybody thought he might ultimately issue this big report to kind of let the public know about it, or at least let congress in a classified version, and the public in an unclassified version, let us know what he found. it didn't come to pass, and we see no signs that something like that is going to be put forward at some point, so what do you think -- what are we all waiting for at this point? >> molly: i think there was an expectation that they would be news into the summer and fall. as you get closer to the new administration in washington, it'll be interesting to see what happens over the course of the transition, once the new administration comes in. i would think they would have to be something at some point, but transitions seem to make everything a little more mysterious, little more messy, and we don't know exactly how things will go. it's interesting. but i agreed with a lot of what mollie was saying when i was thinking about the story. it's clear there is still

working done. when we talk about classified information and the potential for a grand jury, although we haven't heard specifically about a grand jury, sometimes that gives us a clue of where things are in the investigation, when you get word of a grand jury you start to get some hints. it seems things are still working. new prosecutors joining the team, this does not seem over. it seems like something is being compiled at the very least. the big take away right now is we are still waiting, i guess we'll have to stay late, gillian. >> gillian: yeah. i mean, there is a sense of some kind of momentum. it's unclear where it's going, though. kennedy, you're a betting gal. if you had to put $100 on this, where do you think we will come out in a few months? let's say within the next six months. some kind of something out of this, or does it just fizzle o out? >> kennedy: the way these things have played out historically, i expect some sizzle. but the fact the president is giving him the power to utilize classified information, i want

some answers on roz well, okay? [laughter] >> gillian: you can put in the suggestion box. >> kennedy: consider it done. >> gillian: we will leave it there. the viral titer moment that happened when the two dimension in one state cost the same as a tiny home in another. is one location ever really worth that much more? plus, a big shift in population could hurt simply states. ♪ ♪ we made usaa insurance for veterans like martin. when a hailstorm hit, he needed his insurance to get it done right, right away. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa

>> kennedy: there's a new report out raising questions over whether liberal policies are driving people out of big blue states. according to new analysis, and more people have left new york in the last year than any other state. red states like texas, florida, they are seeing an uptick in population, and the drain is not just affecting new york. california also seeing a mass exodus, and the changing populations in the u.s. could mean democratic strongholds like new york will lose congressional seats to republican states. there are drastic ramifications here. mollie hemingway, you have people who have been working from home for months now, and a lot of companies are adjusting. they are not going to pay the real estate in order to fill

buildings with people and they can save money and have them work from home. why would people stay in places like new york and california? mollie hemingway? this is weird. >> gillian: she's frozen. >> kennedy: all right, david avella, you can go ahead and take that same question. mollie hemingway is ignoring me, which i totally get. it happens this time of year. if you can work from home and you cannot pay income tax, why would you stay in a place that is hurting you? >> david: this move into americans is the single biggest factor why now it's important for republicans. you have voters going from states that tend to favor democrats at the congressional level moving to states that favored the republicans.

you going from new york to florida, from california to texas. this favors republicans and taking the u.s. house, and as we think about the presidential level, you are going to see potentially a ten-point swing in the electoral college as now voters are moving into those states that traditionally vote republican at the presidential level. it has an impact not only on congress but also on the presidential level, the electoral college, going forwa forward. >> kennedy: and big companies that employ a lot of people are leaving california. hewlett-packard, oracle, and tesla among them, molly line. they are leaving silicon valley and going to places like austin, texas, which has a much more favorable tax system, but also affordable housing for workers. so it's a win-win for everyone. what will california do to stem

the bleeding? >> molly: that's a predictable thing that happens when businesses are shopping around with different states and different governors have different incentives. we seen them in industries, everything from the financial industry to the movie industry. they shop around and find the place friendly to them, suddenly there's a building dominic booming industry. whether that is specific to a liberal or conservative policy in a given state, that a lot of other factors at play because of the pandemic right now. businesses are finding new ways of doing businesses. if people can work from home, they may not necessarily have to go into a given spot near a big city. they maybe able to now to work from somewhere much cheaper. the scene the housing market boom, apparently maine is a popular spot to go if you want to get a leaf in the city in the midst of the pandemic. there's a lot in the mix here, maybe the numbers will have a better idea in the year two. it is so hard to tell right now. as we come into a new year with

the vaccine getting out, hopefully we see this big economic boom and see who tries to take credit for that. there's a lot of other factors in the mix. >> kennedy: that's a good point, there's been a big shuffling. we are not sure where everything is going to land. molly line makes a great point, mollie hemingway, that there are lobsters and susan collins in maine, why wouldn't he want to move there? [laughter] year from colorado. are they enjoying the same type of influx and boom? especially with the... you know. >> mollie: well, colorado ends already enjoy that influx, and you being from oregon, you know what it's like to move to the s. when people flee to more desirable states, they don't bring some of the horrible public policies with them that led them to want to flee the state they were in. i think conservatives need to be much more aware of how some of this influx can negatively affect what makes their state great, and they should be able to be prepared to fight against
