>> todd: the 300th bus full of migrants just left texas heading for chicago, governor abbott refuses to allow the biden administration to do nothing at the southern border. >> carley: ronny johnson is retired navy admiral and joins us now. congressman, good morning. is there anything republicans can do to change the biden

administration's border policies if they regain control of the house? >> we can work hard to try to shutdown the money, we control the purse strings to some extent. i'm worried about what will happen on the border, i think the biden administration and president biden in general has taken election result as validation that what he's been doing for the last two years is somehow working or supported by the american people. this is not true, border is disaster, 275,000 people crossed the border last year, fentanyl is out of control, we have documented terrorists crossing the border. we will be aggressive, texas delegation, members will go to the border in the next few weeks and will dill into the issue and lead the way. the house will be engaged on fixing the border and lead from the texas delegation and figure out what we can do, we will push

hard. we will be in a situation we may or may not have the senate and we have biden, who feels embolden right now and probably going to be whipping out his veto pen if we get the senate back. we're going to work hard, we're not giving up. the border is a big problem and we made a promise to the american people to work hard to fix the border from the republican side and that is what we're going to do. >> todd: congressman, the number one question i've gotten in the last 72ure hos following the midterm, why did voters in certain states, arizona, texas, california, that are on the border, not vote for candidates that espoused border security, a number of candidates looked like they were going to win and were entrenched in trying to protect the border and they lose, what do you say to the people, what is your answer with regard to why voters decided for we're going to vote open border?

>> we'll have to do a little autopsy on what happened, i'm surprised by that, as well. i thought we would win two districts down there with garcia and flores, we were confident about that, they are blue districts, d plus high teams, it would have been a big deal if we won the districts. i thought we were and i thought the border was driving it, crime, border and the economy. i don't know if they got more of the vote than we expected, i don't know if the abortion issue was out there and people are making decisions based on that, not sure, we need to figure it out. we did good overall, we did win the majority back, that is key and we will be able to do certain things when it comes to the money side of the house, maybe choke off som some funds.

we are taking small bites at the apple and texas is getting reader and redder and we'll get the districts next time. >> carley: did you hear about this, doctors want children to mask up in school to stop the spread of flu, despite fear masking and the school shutdowns stunted children's development, one pediatrician says face masks two years and older can be considered during this time where viruses such as flu are predominant, what is your reaction to that? >> the biggest problem is the american people have completely lost trust and coves in the public health officials because of last two years in covid, they have lied to us and mislead us and destroyed their own credibility. now and it was because of covid, they did this during covid.

we know from experience during covid, masking does not work. we know it doesn't stop viral pathogens like flu acoronavirus. it does stunt mental, psychological and development of children, it slows them, puts them two years behind, we've seen now, whole generation of kids are behind. this is crazy. do you think the flu and rsv are dangerous? i do. do i think covid was? no, i don't. that is the problem, what they did during the covid era set up up for failure with flu and rsv. we've never had mask mandates before and had breakouts of flu and rsv, we can handle this, masking is not the answer. don't get me started on

mandatory vaccinations for children, that is insane. >> todd: natural immunity. lead with this, happy veterans day, thank you for your service, what is your message for the country today? >> go out, find veterans and tell them thank you, being a veteran is a stressful and difficult life, not just for the veteran, for their family, as well, being military spouse, military children is difficult, you have to move around, make new friends, it is a bcommitmen, they do a lot for our country. freedom is not free and that is true, pat somebody on the back and tell them thank you for their service. >> todd: pick up your copy of the book "holding the line," thank you so much and happy veterans day to you. >> thank you, i appreciate it. >> todd: dem world in new york, sean patrick maloney blaming aoc

>> carley: critical race theory taking centerstage in the race for texas state board of education, candidates winning big tuesday night straightening majority with additional seat. we spoke with two winners this morning. >> i listened to the communities, they reject critical race theory, reject equity and inclusion, does not translate to the american dream. >> very important for local school boards to be aware of critical race theory and aware of what is being taught in their particular school district. >> carley: the board is responsible for overseeing

curriculum of texas's five and a half million public school students. >> todd: joe biden touting success as consumer price index fell, that number is up big from a year ago, the white house putting out this statement. today's report shows we are making progress on bringing inflation down, my economic plan is showing results and the american people can see we are facing global economic challenges from a position of strength. jamaica, a single mother of three joins me now. joe biden said his economic plan is working, is it working for you? >> absolutely not. it is not working at all, i'm not sure where he is seeing this happen, but it is not here in louisiana, for sure. >> todd: basically what the white house said yesterday, we're going to celebrate 7.7%

consumer price index, i don't think that is anything to celebrate, but the white house does. are you seeing the "results" when you go to the store to buy groceries or fill up your tank? are you seeing great results the biden administration says it is bringing to you by in their words reducing inflation? >> absolutely not, gas prices are above $3er here, basic household items are ridiculously high, cost of electricity went up, we're still dealing with the aftermath of ida, which we felt brunt ever inflation from building materials and we've had to pay out of pocket to gut the entire inside of my home and redo it and it was very costly, materials are very costly, everything is costly right now. >> todd: that's a great point about the hurricane, very good

point. while you were speaking, on the screen we showed a number of food items that creased in cost and one common theme, turkey issue fruit, vegetable, cheese, bread and iggas, all items will be used this holiday, look at the calendar, two weeks away yesterday from thanksgiving, the holidays have arrived. that doesn't include that screen, increase in cost for christmas gifts. will you be forced to streamline holiday because of the biden economy? >> absolutely. i come from a family of five, i have siblings, they have children. my mom and dad are still alive and we're a family, we get together for the holidays. it is sad that probably it is going to be christmas just for the kids this year, the adults will just have to understand. >> todd: and that is tough, let's face it, we're on this planet for a limited number of

years, each christmas is important and i try to make it the best ever, it is tough when you can't spend the money. your situation, jamaica, do you know friends, families, nab are ones who won't be able to celebrate the holiday at all because of where the economy is at? >> absolutely. i live here in the bayou region, homa. yeah, we have a lot of families still living in campers, they are still not back in their homes. yeah, there is definitely a lot of families here that are going to be hurting this christmas. it is heartbreaking. >> todd: christmas is a time we should all be celebrateing and it bums me out and reflection where we are as country that people will have to sacrifice that this year potentially into next year because of mistakes that did not have to be made. we wish you the best this holiday season and thank you for getting up and joining us, we

appreciate it. president biden landing in egypt later this morning for un climate conference ready to push his green agenda on the world stage. workers at home are not happy about it. >> you're talking about over 100,000 people in coal related jobs and in the energy sector alone that would be without jobs. >> carley: irony of flying to the climate conference never gets old, cheryl casone will tell us how president biden is focusing on climate change. >> todd: zoom doesn't work anymore, covid is done. ♪ (bridget vo) with thyroid eye disease... i hid from the camera. and i wanted to hide from the world. for years, i thought my t.e.d was beyond help... ...but then i asked my doctor about tepezza. (vo) tepezza is the only medicine that treats t.e.d. at the source not just the symptoms.

in a clinical study, more than 8 out of 10 patients taking tepezza had less eye bulging. tepezza is an infusion. patients taking tepezza may have infusion reactions. tell your doctor right away if you experience high blood pressure, fast heartbeat, shortness of breath or muscle pain. before getting tepezza, tell your doctor if you have diabetes, ibd, or are pregnant, or planning to become pregnant. tepezza may raise blood sugar even if you don't have diabetes. and may worsen ibd such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

>> carley: president biden on his way to egypt to attend united nations climate change conference to push his new green agenda. >> todd: republicans looking to restore energy if and when they take over congress. cheryl casone is here with more. >> cheryl: good morning. yeah, this green agenda of the president, it was loud and clear when he took to the podium on wednesday after midterm, he will continue this, regulation and draining of the spr. todd, we were together on business yesterday when cpi broke >> that energy index double-digit increase already

and that was september to october, this will get worse and worse and the president seems to have no idea about the fact that people are suffering out there and i don't think he seems to care. it is green climate, save the climate. >> carley: on friday he said he wants to shut down the coal industry. >> cheryl: assault against the coal industry. we need coal for electricity production, which is what teslas are running on, we'll get to elon musk in a second. we spoke with a coal miner, here is reaction to this. >> it is mind-boggling to think this administration can say, this is a good idea if we shut these plantses down and put all the people out of employment with no viable source of energy to take its place and no viable income for these families.

>> cheryl: one thing about the president going to egypt, in particular issue the fact that really not egypt we are concerned about, it is china, if you don't deal with china or india, you will not get anywhere changing the climate globally. the u.s. can only do so much. >> carley: weakening the u.s., strengthening china as they don't do anything -- >> cheryl: xi has no interest. >> carley: the student loan bail dollar the out, texas supreme court judge, i believe, federal judge, appellate judge -- a judge deemed it inconstitutional, biden administration is moving on that front. >> cheryl: if you read the ruling from the texas judge, again, quoting the constitution and the judge said in the

ruling, i understand the political climate we're in issue but the constitution says there are three branches of government, not one, talking about the executive order. look at the judge, you need approval for something this large worth millions and millions of dollars, they have had millions of americans file to get these handouts, bailouts, the white house tweeting this. we strongly disagree with the district court ruling on the relief program and the department of justice filed an appeal. not a shocker, what is interesting is the timing of the lawsuits. if we have a flip of the house in january, where does this go? nowhere. right? if the court throws it out, you tell me, you're the attorney. >> todd: well, i was wrong, i said appellate court, i was wrong. thanks, law. end of the day, this is not

going to pass the supreme court, they will not allow this, it is illegal and should not be allowed to pass. get your thoughts, the white house not clarifying joe biden's threat to look into elon musk. >> cheryl: jake jake sullivan refusing to clarify anything, kjp refusing to clarify. he was speaking, asked a question, didn't seem prepared for it, here is the white house response as they refuse to clarify the call for the investigation into national security, the fact elon musk has major saudi investor, listen to this. >> the president yesterday said that it should be that the elon musk acquisition of twitter should be looked into as potential threat to national security. can you offer anything about why -- >> i will defer to the process

rather than comment further from this podium. >> cheryl: he's not willing to comment, what is happening at twitter right now, half the staff was let go, elon musk this morning tweeting that the user base of twitter is up, he tweeted an hour ago and you have three top security executives leave and i have to say this. we are out of time. one executive went on twitter and said, i don't watch game of thrones and don't want to live game of thrones, this is pushback internally at twitter. elon musk and by the way, he did bring up the possibility of bankruptcy at twitter. >> carley: trying to avoid, what a busy business cycle, thank you for breaking down. midterm are not over yet, we have a race between herschel walker and raphael warnock and fox news got details about walker's campaign.

former congressman doug collines knows a thing or two about georgia runoffs. >> todd: it is veterans day, this photo is from the 1940s, associate producer's great, great grandma fillamina servino. she is pictured with army veteran and bronze star recipient and his brother air corps mechanic john sevino and this is sarah's step-father who served in air force canine unit during operation desert storm and her father-in-law ralph eagle, thank you for your service and happy veterans day.

guy, guys, guys, we're still in session. and i don't know what the heck you're talking about. >> todd: democrats lashing out at each other after embarrassing losses in new york state. >> carley: interesting here, ousted congressman sean patrick maloney bashing alexandria

ocasio-cortez after losing. >> ashley: house democrat campaign chief maloney says kathy hochul's poor performance at top of the ticket is why new york lost four house seats, including himself. he was defeated by mike lawler. >> that is a problem, you have open seats and the governor is losing them, our candidate has to outperform the governor by 10, often 15 points, that is a lot to ask. >> that is rough. >> it was urinability to speak to voters in suburban new york city. >> ashley: not just kathy hochul he had harsh words for, he is targeting aoc, asserting last time i ran into aoc, we were beating her endorsed candidate 2-to-1 and i didn't see her helping our house majority, not

sure what advice she has, but i'm sure she will be generous with it. >> she tweeted back, over a quarter of a million for demes thissic zooel, d.c. ccfacilitated now and he denies it, if he is not aware of my visits to ca, and efforts we put in, that is on him. mayor eric adams is attempting to distance himself and defend his policies saying he is not to blame, the progressives are. >> i'm just waiting for rod sterling to come out, that is simply the twilight zone. come on, let's get real here. think about this for a moment, if every poll shows that new yorkers were concerned about crime and the mayor is responding to their concern, who should be at fault?

those who ignored the concern. >> ashley: adams said more action is needed when it comes toim crime, kathy hochul says she is not making a move on criminal justice reform. back to you. >> carley: race for senate on razor edge as both parties jockey for the 51 seat majority, races in arizona and nevada still undecided and georgia senate runoff campaign is officially underway. senate democrats spending 7 million to help raphael warnock retain his seat and herschel walker raising $7.6 million in the first two days of his runoff campaign. former georgia congressman doug collines joins us now. good morning, rallies and fundraising has started, which candidate has a bigger uphill battle to climb? >> i think both of them do, look at the totals, raphael warnock hit the cap of most democrats,

if you look at numbers in georgia of 1.9 million, the most any democrats got, herschel walker right behind and herschel walker has to overcome and pick up where he was shorter. they both have interesting paths, walker's is better, republicans generated excitement and will be taking over the house and have a good chance to get the senate here. i think it is back to square 1. it isun iffy, last two years, we have not stopped fundraising and campaigning. >> carley: you are right about herschel walker having to make up the deficit, brian kemp received 200,000 more votes than walker, how should he play this? campaign with trump, with governor kemp, what should he do? >> yes. anything. at this point, if anybody is willing to help. there is downside to everything, one thing is interesting here, governor kemp and herschel

walker did not campaign together at all during the general election cycle, governor kemp is who just won and congratulations to him, he did a great job, he will be helping herschel walker, that is a big plus that will help walker in -- short window, four weeks and thanksgiving week end in between, this is a lot of time. anybody that can help will help. it is not about endorsements, it is about both groups and herschel walker getting voters back out to the polls. republicans cannot stay home, if republicans stay home, then for walker that is the worst scenario. >> carley: all about the turnout and the white house was asked yesterday if president biden has plans to rally for raphael warnock and nothing on the agenda there, no surprise. what do you know about raphael warnock? he tries to paint himself as moderate, is he? >> no, nowhere close, no surprise president biden is not

coming, he is not a good help in the state of georgia and raphael warnock is his clone and he's pushed progressive agenda, from student loan forgiveness, most people understand the constitution would have got that, he pushed for that and divided agricultural bills, raphael warnock cannot run from his liberal background and he calls himself a pro-choice pastor, people have no idea what that means. >> carley: thank you so much for your service, what is your message this veterans day? >> my message to those i served with in all branches, this is day to celebrate just the service. i've been a reservist, except active duty for deployment, it is getting up on weekends and there are folks who leave their family and do their duty and

work full-time jobs and family and do it every month and we have active duty all over the world. as brotherhood and sisterhood, we all work together to protect this country, we serve and protect this country and fight wars. >> carley: the best of us, you among them, doug collines, thank you for being with us. the media can't accept florida is now a red state, watch this. >> ron desantis barely won in 2018, yesterday he won by 20 percentage points. why? he gamed the system. >> carley: congressman greg steube will respond to that, what? >> todd: chick in with brian kilmeade, happy friday. >> brian: back at you, hope to see you both soon, coming up on "fox and friends," honoring veterans all morning long, senator army veteran from infantry tom cotton, and initial

guard michael wolf will be here, congressman, army veteran from the state of florida we just discussed and retired four-star general, favorite segment of the week, going one-on-one with general jack keane and get his thoughtses and medal of honor recipients, dakota meyer will be here and airforce fighter pilot, lieutenant colennel dan rooney, they share their message. he played a green beret on the big screen and played a boxer, his name is sylvester stallone, he will be here with his shirt on and his super stardom and will cain can't stop talking about it, i'm out of time for

this tease, i cannot wait to share the couch with will and sylvester stallone. please, i ask you, once and for all, get dressed. .

>> carley: florida governor ron

desantis one candidate that won big on tuesday and some in the media can't accept it. >> santas barely won in 201. yesterday he won by 20 percentage points. why? because he gamed the system. because he turned florida into an unlevel playing field. they changed election laws, making it harder to vote by mail. that's not a red wave. red wave is when people go out to the streets and vote. what had you was a depressed, deflated vote. >> todd: florida congressman greg steube a member of the house foreign affairs committee and iraq war combat veteran joins us now. congressman, help us understand it. her argument seems to be by

enforcing election laws ron desantis gamed the system; is that right. >> i can't understand it at all everything she just said didn't make any sense. we actually had record turnout here. 1.5 million more people that voted for ron desantis statewide. all of our statewide offices won overwhelmingly almost by 60-40 margin. marco was just under him by almost 17, 18 points and it's because florida is no longer a purple state. we are solidly a red state doing better statewide than even texas. and it's because of the policies that republicans have had in place here in florida. and people all across the country. especially during covid recognize that. and they are sick and tired of democratically run cities and states and move here to florida to have freedom. >> carley: one of the things interesting about voter data is democrats actually won the independent vote by 2 points. except in florida. governor desantis bucked that trend. he got 52% of independent voters. how do republicans elm plate

that in 2024? >> well, i think a lot of the independents here in florida are, you know, middle of the roads lean right of center and so our policies we put in place for republicans showed up and down the ballot for independents, democrats, and republicans. that supported those policies. i mean, you saw democrats break for republicans here in the state of florida. i wish the policies we put in place here in florida were nationwide. i wish the election policies and laws that we have in place here in florida are nationwide. you wouldn't see the problems you are seeing in arizona, nevada, and what she was saying about be a sebaali tee votes, those are 100 percent required that is voter i.d. that there is verification of those absentee ballots. we don't just count absentee ballots here in florida. you have to have verification of that which is why you have our results within hours of the election. >> todd: crazy plan you have there in florida. the biden administration announcing negotiation

$400 billion weapons package to ukraine. the total sent to $19 billion is this a good use of taxpayer dollars, congressman? >> well, a total of $65 billion that congress has appropriated. there's no oversight on this money. i voted for the first package when russia initially invaded ukraine, all those subsequent packages i have voted against. congress has zero oversight on where this money is going. now getting reports there is ukrainian officials buying houses in sweden and all sorts of misappropriations of funds and congress has zero oversight on this because the bills that the democrat majority have passed don't have any oversight on them whatsoever. basically a blank check from our government to the ukrainian administration and that's not what the american people want. we have issues right here like the southern border, like the hurricane that just hit my district. and people are hurting. our focus should be america first. and if we're going to send money to countries like ukraine there needs to be oversight so congress can see exactly where

the money is being spent. >> carley: today is veterans day, congressman. and what we want to thank you so much for your service. and also ask you. >> an honor to serve. >> carley: what your message is for americans today. whether a should would he be reflecting on. >> well, my message with this republican majority in the house coming in which we'll likely get those results in the next couple of days i will continue to fight for veterans. i hope i can get past the true choice for veterans bill that will allow veterans that service connected disability to get try care and try care for life and not be forced into the v.a. medical system. go anywhere they want to get the medical care they need when they need it. i submit to you those 21, 22 veterans a day that commit suicide wouldn't be committing suicide anymore could have tricare and go to their community when they are having some type of episode and get the mental health support they need when they need it. >> carley: so many veterans that rran for congress this election cycle as well.

great to see you this morning. >> thank you, guys. >> carley: we appreciate it. >> todd: need to remember the sacrifices so many made. quite a week. a lot to process. as you at home process the election results this week, take solace in one result we can all celebrate guy fieri reelected mayor. >> carley: with that say goodbye. "fox & friends" starts. ♪ >> bret: balance of power remains undetermined. could stay that way in the senate until georgia's run off election. >> i feel no pressure because i was built for this. this is a choice of character. >> that press conference tells me is losing nightmare for an incumbent is to be in a runoff. >> tropical depression nicole plundering toward the carolinas after leaving at least five people dead in florida. >> surf washing away an entire row of houses. >> federal judge is striking down biden's plan to cancel student debts. >> those getting handout. >> 70%
