sad and scared experience of life. unfortunately, that is all the time we have for tonight. thank you for watching it for joining us. just a reminder, on friday, i will be cohosting fox's all-american new year's eve with rachel campos-duffy and will cain, my cohost from fox and friends weekend, and catch up every sunday. we turn it to the capable hands of sean duffy who is in for laura ingraham. sean, it is all yours, brother. >> sean: pete hegseth, thank you so much, have a great night. i am sean guthrie in fort ingram, and this is a special edition of "the ingraham angle." we start with a fox news alert. the biden administration tonight asking the supreme court to decide whether it could be forced to continue implementing the trump-and i remain in mexico policy for migrants seeking asylum in the u.s. a lot to unpack tonight. including "seen and unseen" with raymond arroyo, a special

announcement to let you do not want to miss. but first, how many times did you hear this morning from laura? >> power-hungry governors and radical mayors are endangering their states futures and will eventually see their states left behind. those states are being left behind. the blue states will simply be left further behind. the free state will ultimately leave them all behind. the blue states are being left behind. >> sean: of the angle tried to warn all these democrat leadersy failed to take it seriously. >> big mistake. big. huge. >> sean: the left ignored the signs on covid, and they ignored what is best for americans. if you need any more proof people here are sick and tired of vaccines and max mandates, crt and rampant crime, look no further than the brand-new data from the census bureau. the states with the biggest increase in population were all

red! florida, texas, and arizona, and the biggest decreases, new york, california, and illinois. so what do these hard-hit states all have in common? >> blue. ♪♪ i see something blue ♪♪ >> sean: joining me now is phil crippen, president of the committee to unleash prosperity and "new york post" columnist karol markowitz. decided to leave new york city, a state she loves, for the great state of florida. carol, i'm going to start with you. what was the final straw that made you leave the city you meant most of your life with and go to the new state of florida? >> so there was no one final straw, it was just a continual bad policymaking from our leadership that i didn't see ending anytime soon. i don't see a light at the end of the tunnel, and i continue to live in this place that i think is just crazy. i point a lot to child masking, and yeah, i don't like that my

kids unnecessarily wear masks both inside and outside their schools because they have to wear it outdoors during recess, but masking is really just a symptom, and it is sort of what we can see of the crazy that lies beneath everything else. when you see 2-year-olds wearing masks outside, you can be confident you are in an insane place, and i know that i am, so i had to get my kids out. >> sean: this is horrible policy for kids. so phil, what is the social and economic policy with states lose thousands of karol markowitzs and go to different states, what happens? >> first of all, i congratulate karol on getting out of new york. i am still trying to convince my wife we should leave d.c. i am right now in deep blue and. this is a long-running trend with population leaving california and the northeast, in particular, and shifting to the south. this year, the domestic migration was 650,000 people into the south, which is a

massive number but it has typically been about 400,000, 450,000 in recent years, so it is a big jump but it is on trend and an acceleration of what we were already seeing, and it has to do with a lot of lifestyle, quality-of-life issues. one of the chief among them is no income tax in places like tennessee, texas, and florida, and we have seen a very large influx of people, about 4 million people over the last decade have moved from income tax to nonincome tax states, but this was different this year. there were a lot of factors. i think crime was a factor but i think the covid policies are the biggest one and to me one of the most interesting things in the new numbers, sean, his washington state, a nonincome tax state that normally over the last decade has been gaining net migration of about 40,000 people a year, it was flat even, it was met even, and i think that is to go things, i think it is the crime problems in seattle and the crazy covid lockdown policies. you look next-door, idaho gained an incredible 48,000 people. idaho is not a nonincome tax state but it was a nonlockdown

state, a very attractive alternative to washington, oregon, and california. we had acceleration of the long-running tends to get these new factor of insane covid mandates that are really driving people out of some of these places. >> sean: phil, i think that is a great point because it is not just taxation, it is of the policies that lead to the quality of life that people have, otherwise people would be moving to washington, as well, but we see what we have in washington, horrible policies, crt, protests, homelessness, folks aren't moving there. karol come i want to go to you because when you look at people who come to america from places like venezuela and cuba, when they get here, they recognize the democrat policies, they are very similar to the policies that actually ruin their home country, right? so they vote republican. i am wondering when people leave places like california and illinois and new york and go to places like texas and florida, do they leave their bad policies that destroyed their states behind, or do they take those bad ideas with them and vote for crazy liberals in republican states and will those places,

the freedom that we have right now in america? >> wright, well, i was born in the soviet union and i can tell you the ex-russian community in places like new york are generally conservative, and there is a reason for that. once you have seen leftism and action, you do not want it anymore. i think in general, the red states can be confident that the people moving there want to share their policies, want to share their politics. sure, not everyone knows a thread on twitter, somebody moving to california and saying he was worried about the politics of florida where he was moving, so of course you are going to have people like that, but when i think your places like new york and san francisco and other big cities where homelessness is something that, you know, is ignored, shoplifting is something we don't talk about, burglarizing stores and homes is something we just completely, you know, go by the wayside and don't talk about that either, and all of these policies that we see in action in these places, i think people are trying to escape the crazy, and these red states, while they

do have some concerns about people moving there, i really don't think generally the people coming to these states are the ones they need to worry about. >> sean: karol, i hope you are 100% right. phil, here is my concern. you don't have these bad policies in the states of california or new york or the cities of san francisco, they are not fenced off. democrats want to take these horrible policies from the states and cities and want to make them national, they want america with crime and drugs and homelessness and feces on the streets. they want san francisco to be all of america. shouldn't this be a warning sign and shouldn't the sirens be going off for the american voter to go hey, listen, if i don't want america to look like san francisco i got to keep these guys out of office and out of power? >> yeah, you would think so. looked from it has been a decade now, the states, new york, illinois, california in particular shedding population, people voting with their feet, they do not like the liberal big government policies and it has only accelerated in recent years, and as you point out correctly, the democrats

who believe in the california model, the model they want for the whole country, that is everything in biden's bill back that her bill, this idea of having more and more government control, more government spending, more taxation, that is what people are trying to flee when you look at this domestic migration data. it is a little harder to flee when it happens at the national level, so you are absolutely right. i think we need to really make the case that there is a reason the red states are performing so much better economically and are so much more attractive than the blue states, and it is the triumph of a free market model over the government control model that the democrats push. >> sean: yeah, phil, if you take those policies of liberals and make them national, and ruin america, there is no other america out there for us to go. that is why it is so important that we save this country with great policies. i want to thank you both, phil and karol, for joining me tonight on "angle," i appreciate it. when it comes to red states, they were leading the way in covid from the very beginning. you just heard karol explain why she was moving to one. so because people are happy and

they are free in red states, so it makes sense that these leaders want to continue doing what they think is best for their own constituents. here is how biden said he would help them out. >> there is no federal solution. this gets solved at the state level. my message to the governors is simple: if you need something, say something. and we are going to have your back anyway we can. >> sean: so, maybe he doesn't understand the definition of having someone's back, because florida's surgeon general dr. joseph adolfo says they are actually standing in his way, and a letter to hhs secretary xavier becerra, he writes, the administration is actively preventing the effective distribution of monoclonal antibody treatments. joining me now is florida senator rick scott -- senator, thank for joining me. is that how biden has her states back? >> absolutely not. first of all, joe biden is a

hypocrite. first he says it is still a federal solution but then once these mandates, and then they pick and choose where they want to send the treatments. this guy is a complete hypocrite. so they need to treat all the states the same. they need to give us all -- as individuals, good information, but with the monoclonal antibodies or the test they are going to distribute, all of the states treated the same. florida should not be treated worse or better than anybody else, we should all be treated exactly the same. >> sean: and this is my frustration, senator. if biden and the cdc do not have recommendations for treatments when someone gets covid, why would they stop florida from actually trying to treat people and to save people's lives to get covid? >> you know, i don't get biden and i don't get the democrats. they want to tell you how to lead your life, but they don't want to be helpful to you. get out of the way, let florida or texas, each of these states figure out their own solution,

and don't stop it. what the federal government does, they want to control all the treatments, decide where all the treatments go, buy all of the stuff up, buy the vaccines up, control everything, and then decide, oh, i'm going to give you something if you do the right things but if you do the wrong things i'm going to hold it back. think about it. i've got people in florida, they want to make sure they don't get sick, they want good information, but if they do get sick, we ought to have all the treatments. >> sean: 100% we are going to take care of the people we represent and what the governor is doing their and your support is making that happen. i want to get your thoughts on this breaking news, the biden administration is asking the supreme court to hear the remain in mexico case. this is of course the trump-era policy for migrants seeking asylum in the u.s. biden originate tried to scrap the policy but in federal court earlier this year ordered him to reinstate it. and then it went to an appeals court where biden lost again, so senator, i guess he just keeps losing, and why would he want to

roll back a set of policies under trump that were actually working to keep people from coming into our country? >> it makes no sense. today, about one out of every 150 people in this country came across illegally this year. we've got 100,000 overdoses this last year. 100,000. one out of every 3,000 americans died of a drug overdose. we have drugs come across the border like crazy if your guy was down last month in yuma, and we've got thousands of people coming across. some of them, there was a day i heard 4,000 people came across in one location through one open gate. one open gate. it is like, what is biden thinking? does he care about americans? is his first responsibility secure the border, if there's policies that work. i was down at the border, the border agent said, i've had five presidents. every one of them had their ideas, but at least they had an idea of how to secure the

border. biden has done nothing to secure the border. he has no interest in securing the border. >> sean: senator, i think the odds are pretty good that republicans take over the senate and the house and i know it is hard to pass legislation when you have a president who won't sign your bills, but one of the powers of the majority is oversight, and i hope a republican senate and republican house will do great oversight on this border but also what this administration has done on covid, that really is the power of the majority and i hope you guys will take that opportunity and i want to thank you for joining me on the "angle" tonight and all of your insight, thank you. all right, when the military decided to force covid vaccination on troops, they made able to obtain religious exemptions. in fact, faith is important to them. >> one of the freedoms that we fight for here in the military is religious freedom, so keeping with our values as an institution to allow people who are concerned from a religious perspective to be able to state that perspective and to have

that worked out. >> sean: so how is that working out? you might be surprised to learn, despite the support the pentagon has for men and women of faith, zero requests for religious accommodations in the marines have been approved! leading many feeling like this is a total political purge. one source told fox news, we are facing unconstitutional edict that i think is very targeted as a political purge, taking out some of the best and the brightest. joining me now is retired colonel douglas mcgregor, senior fellow with american conservative and former advisor to the secretary of defense under president trump. colonel, zero religious exceptions approved? that is unfathomable. what is going on here? >> well, as with everything else this administration does, this is politically motivated. this is an ideological attack designed to eliminate anyone who might raise objections to anything this administration wants to do inside the military. the vaccine and resistance to it

is simply a metaphor for everything else in the minds of president biden and his administration that they want to achieve, with crt, social justice, equity, and so forth. all of these marxist programs that have been implemented are at the forefront of their greatest concerns, so this is a good opportunity in their minds to get rid of people. it has nothing to do with covid because we know the fatality rate for people in uniform is extremely low, 0.03%. only 82 out of 261000 infections. so there is no justification for this radical action other than politics. >> sean: so, colonel, you are agreeing this is a political purge, they want to take out who they think are conservatives, vaccine has a tent or christians who have a religious exception to taking the vaccine? >> oh, absolutely. i do not know what the demographic breakdown is, what the racial makeup of the people

there taking out his but i think most are white americans, a christian, the least desirable person from the vantage point of this administration to have in uniform. even though that is exactly what has populated the armies, air forces, navies, and marines in this country for hundreds of years. >> sean: colonel, this is unbelievable. but what does this policy, this purging of good military men and women, what does this do to our readiness? >> well, our readiness is already in terrible shape. morale is frankly in the gutter. you could read through the various articles coming out of the pentagon, marines, soldiers, airmen, sailors, people are speaking very, very clearly about their feelings, so morale is terrible, and the thing that is so hard to understand is after we have had so many people for so long in uniform do so

much that they were asked to do over the last 20 years that we now know in retrospect was frankly stupid in many cases, nevertheless they did what they were asked to do and sacrificed their lives in the process. now to simply turn around and throw people out on a whim is unacceptable. this is just going to hurt us further and it's going to end up creating an officer corps of pure yes-men, people who are simply going to do whatever they are told, but this is not going to create a force that fights effectively, certainly not a force that believes in anything, because they are creating a force that believes in nothing. they are just going to do whatever they are told, pick up their paychecks come and go about their business. >> sean: colonel, it's disturbing because we don't live in a more peaceful world, the world seems to become more violent with more risks, whether you look at china or russia. it is frightening that we don't have a military that is rising to the challenge or concerned about things that have nothing to do with our readiness. i want to thank you for joining me tonight and giving me your insights, colonel, thank you.

all right, it is almost 2022, so what does that mean? it is time for midterms. with 23 house democrats not seeking reelection, the g.o.p. has a real chance to retake the majority. house minority whip steve scalise is here on that. plus, tom bevan breaks down what senate races could determine control of the upper chamber, so stay right here. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ >> sean: at a time when biden's approval rating is actually lower than his vice presidents, democrats are getting the hint and jumping ship. 23 house democrats are not seeking reelection in 2022. could more becoming? fox news national correspondent matt finn has more. matt? >> sean, of those 23 house democrats who say they will not seek reelection, five announced that decision in december alone. it is putting the democrat party in a very difficult position heading into next year's midterm election. democrats will try to defend their razor-thin majority in the house. republicans need a net gain of just five seats in the 535

member chamber next year to regain house majority lost in 2018. just last week, a trio of house democrats announced they will not seek reelection next year. representative stephanie murphy of florida, california, and new york. republicans have history on their side. on average, the party that wins the white house in a presidential election loses more than 25 house seats in the following midterms. the last four presidents have lost senate and house majorities. and the once in a decade congressional redistricting process is expected to favor republicans. this all comes as president joe biden's job approval rates hit new lows in recent weeks and the president hope of passing a $1.7 billion social spending package was slashed when democratic senator joe manchin announced last week he will not support that legislation. so far, 23 house republicans have vacated their retirement not seeking office in 2022.

summer retiring while others are seeking a statewide office. sean? >> sean: thank you, matt. all right, so how will the g.o.p. capitalize on the 23 outgoing democrats so they can actually retake the house? house minority whip skull easter is me now. congressman, i know you see the data and you see the polling, right? you see a red wave coming for republicans in 2022? >> hey, great to be with you, sean. what you see on the ground is a lot of energy and enthusiasm on the republican side. you saw it happen in virginia but even in other states where you saw a kind the preview of what could come next year. i think it is a lot like 2010, the year you were elected to congress and we flipped 63 seats from democrat to republican in that big wave. i think 63 might not be the number, but i think you're going to see a lot of seats competitive and as you were talking about those retirements, the real retirements to watch, sean, our swing district democrats that are announcing that they are retiring. stephanie murphy was mentioned. i think that is a seat we can

flip in florida. your home state of wisconsin, ron kind was one of the first people to announce they are retiring. we got a great candidate who has been out working hard and i think he can flip that seed. we have great candidate across the board, and starts of great candidates at a great message. people do not like government socialism, they are rejecting it in every state from blue states to read states the great candidates, great fund-raising advantage moving forward, and we are not going to slow down, we are going to work very hard next are not only to show how bad they are doing, people get their inflation, spending and all of the crazy policies, but also what are going to be those bold conservative items, we are going to be rolling that out next year, as well. >> sean: steve, you just mentioned, the cash. in campaigns, you have to put ads on tv, get mail, if you don't have money you cannot actually get your message out. how are republicans doing right now compared to democrats on the cash front? >> sean, we have been breaking records and out raising the democrats almost

every month appeared by the way, they are in the majority. they have the house, senate committee white house, and we have been out raising them almost every month this year. you are seeing people come in and donate money in some cases who never did before because they are scared to death about the future of the country. they do not want america to become a socialist country. they are tired of spending -- it is not just big donors. we are getting people getting $220 a person. you can go to steve scalise.com. we are seeing records broken on fund-raising i think because people are excited about great conservative candidates, the prospect of what we will do to reverse this big government socialism we are seeing. >> sean: i think what is interesting is there's a lot of small dollar contributions coming in, $5, $10, $40. let me ask this, you look at the failures of democrats, the border or crime or afghanistan,

inflation, energy, there is not really any successes for them to run on, so when you hear them talk, they will say the salvation for our electoral chances in the midterms in 2022 is we have to pass build back better, the socialist massive spending package. and frankly, i look at that and go, are they blind? do they not see the american people don't want more borrowing and more spending and more programs? they want to be able to buy food at the grocery store, fill up their car in gas and not get gouged, it seems like they are completely out of touch with the american people. >> they are incredibly out of touch, sean, and you saw it in the exit polling in virginia. youngkin ran a great race. terry mcauliffe, when he said kids know my parents should not be involved in their kids education, that was a bellwethe. a lot of big government socialist, it is about government control. democrats a week after the virginia election past a $4.5 trillion bill. they won't stop spending money, and everybody knows it is driving inflation, and what is

their answer, to keep trying to spend more money, at least in the senate, joe manchin said enough is enough. they won't even listen to him. they are calling him every name in the book. they just want power, they want control over people's lives. people just want freedom. it is why they're flocking to states like florida and texas that are open, and they are fleeing in droves from states like new york and california and illinois that are shutting everything down. >> sean: you know, congressman, i think it is great to run a campaign that says i'm just not a democrat right now and that can work, but you don't have an agenda to run on, and the one of we support freedom, we support individual choice would be a successful mantra for republicans to hit across the country as you come into the midterms, but listen, think for joining me tonight, i appreciate it, congressman. all right, now we turn to the senate. control of the majority is going to come down to just a handful of states, right? joining me now is tom bevan, cofounder and president of real clear politics. tom, i know they're only a handful of states that ucs competitive. walk us through there's no mark those states, why they are in

play. >> sure, sean, it is good to be with you. i call them with the big five, democratic incumbents, arizona, mark kelly up for reelection, north of him, cortez, kevin cortez mastro is running for reelection in nevada. both of those braces are going to be very competitive. both of those incumbents are in danger. there was a poll last week that showed at a mark salter the republican candidate in nevada, leading by five or six points, pretty good margin for a republican at that point. the other one is in georgia, raphael warnock's newly elected and defending his seat there. obviously very competitive state. herschel walker looks like the republican candidate, same polling from the nrsc last week that showed herschel walker up only a single point which is not great for republicans. in this environment you would think a republican candidate in georgia would be doing much better than walker is doing right now, those are the three that democrats are really going to half to fight to hold onto,

otherwise, again, losing a net of minus one seat in the senate loses their majority. >> sean: and how about on the republican side, what seats are in play? >> republic of zion, pennsylvania and open seat, and both sides, sean parnell was in and out, dr. oz is in on the republican side, very fluid situation there but obviously that is a state, democrats think they can take advantage of. the other is north carolina, richard burr is retiring, and a competitive primary on the republican side between a trump-endorsed a candidate in a previous governor, so it'll be interesting to see how the primary works out early next year, but those are the two seats republicans are really defending and they are open seats, so a higher on the target list. >> sean: tom, as you look at these races, there's a whole

bunch of people in primaries and i think it really determines races by who wins those primaries. do you have a candidate that can win statewide? we just don't know that yet. there is polling that has come out that talked about how hispanics have moved from democrat to republican over the last couple years. is that going to impact any of these races as you do urinalysis? >> absolutely. we saw this poll from the nbc news, "wall street journal" that came out a couple weeks ago that showed in the generic congressional ballot if the election was held today, hispanics would split their vote between republican democratic candidate. that is a sea change. that happened, you would see democrats lose across the board. obviously in arizona and nevada, where you have a large section of hispanic voters, but also places like georgia, florida, pennsylvania, as well, you have hispanic populations that are not insignificant that if they swing their vote, that much, to the republican side, that is going to make a huge difference in the midterm election. they are going to be probably

the key swing electorate and we are going to be keeping an eye on them, obviously. >> sean: so, tom, i cannot let you go without asking what the most important state of all 50 states, the great state of wisconsin where i am from. you mentioned ron johnson and the senate seat up in '22 in wisconsin. what is your take on what is meant to happen in the land of the packers? >> yeah, everybody is waiting on senator johnson to tell us whether he is going to run or not. obviously if he runs he is going to be a heavy favorite. he is an incumbent, that is a huge advantage in even history and where the landscape is right now, if a favors republican so i think he would be a solid favorite to win. he does not, that becomes an open seat, that is a state that has been on a ranger zeds, 50/50 for the last three or four cycles, and repubs in that state, hand-to-hand political combat for the better part of a decade. they know where all the votes are, that is why do so competitive, they know how to turn on their voters. if it is an open seat depending on who the candidate would ultimately end up being, that wn

the board that could be very competitive, so we're waiting for ron. >> sean: so thomas, if ron johnson runs, i think he wins, you are right on that, if he doesn't run, i think there is a in wisconsin and for some reasons i'm not going to go into tonight, there's going to be problems in the primary that would give a lot of benefit to democrats, so if republicans want to keep the senate or win the senate, ron johnson has to get into this race and run, but hey, tom, thank you for your insight on the senate races, i appreciate it. all right, the left is doing their best to shut down new year's eve celebrations? but don't worry, fox news has you covered. raymond arroyo explains in "seen and unseen." plus, he has a big announcement, so stay right there.

retention strategy for teachers of color and teachers who are american indian. and to reduce isolation and increase collegial support opportunities. >> when you are one of the majority, it can be very isolating and lonely. to have a support system in place for them is not to segregate them, it is absolutely to support them. >> sean: joining me now is cynthia garrett, education activist and host of the tv series and podcast. cynthia, isn't this un-american and racist in its policy? >> it is completely racist, sean, and i love the language of racism. we want to support them, we want to make them feel good. if they don't feel -- it is so, it is such -- it is such a liberal policy disguised as we care about you, feel good b.s., and it is an attempt to return to something dangerous and i've got to tell you, makes me think about ruby bridges, you know,

because it is not -- november was the anniversary, november 14th, i believe it was, 1960, when a tiny little 6-year-old black child became the first child to integrate a school in the south, in new orleans, and you know, she went to school with four federal marshals. she had people throwing stuff at her and screaming at her and bringing coffins to school with black baby dolls, and only one teacher would teacher, mrs. barbara. i'm sure mrs. henry felt unsupported and isolated just like ruby did, but you know what they did? they sucked it up and put on their big girl pants and they found support in each other because that is when integration is about. it is about understanding that support comes in all ages, races, shapes, and sizes. i don't need only black people to support me. yes, you can find something in

common with people that look like you but that is not what we are really here for. what about the big melting pot of america? this is a country that is built on a shared experience and ruby bridges, her foundation is so beautiful because the whole point of her foundation is to actually celebrate the sharing of our differences, and to attack racism through integration, not segregation. this child had more strength than these grown-ups today. >> sean: absolutely, but cynthia, democrats, they have a long history of supporting slavery and then segregation. is this just another chapter out of their book where they support racism again, whether it was 150 years ago are now today with policies like this? >> it's completely another chapter out of the same playbook. i honestly, i don't know why blacks are not up in arms in general, and native americans and anybody else of color because this same language that these people are using in this school board meeting will be

used in exactly the same way as it slides down the slippery slope to "these children don't feel good, they need to be around other kids of the same color." "let's go back to segregation because it is about them feeling supported." what is this? really, what is this? ruby bridges said it best, "racism is a grown-up disease that we've got to stop using our kids to spread it." >> sean: cynthia, you are so spot on. segregation, division never works. let's talk about what brings us together, what unifies us. listen, thank you for joining me tonight, i appreciated. 's aaron rodgers of ounce to get canceled again? "the last bite" explained.

>> if science can be questioned, it's not science and work my propaganda varied when someone comes out with a scientific study, what are they always say? they say it's a peer-reviewed, right? what does that mean? that means that people in the same field have gone through it and questioned hypothesis and

questioned the research and looked it up to see is this research stand up. that's what science is all about. >> sean: strange terms when our football players make more sense than our government scientists. that's it for us tonight, i'm sean duffy in for laura ingraham. check me tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. when i fill in for tucker. podcast up right now.
