beautiful noise. neil diamond himself led the theatergoers there in singing "sweet caroline." when did they start saying so good. >> it is not in the original song. it goes with the horn, right? >> dana: i'll see that musical sometime this year i guarantee. "the faulkner focus" is up next. here is harris. >> harris: fox news alert. georgia runoff election is here. hopefully very soon right after the polls close. we're hoping to find out who will grab the final senate seat and shape the upper chamber for at least the next two years. i'm harris faulkner in "the faulkner focus." warnock and walker spent four weeks of runoff campaigning getting down and dirty. it got pretty nasty. all the ads. if you've been near the peach state you know what i'm talking

about. democrats outraged over new state voting laws. really over nothing. we're seeing record early voting turnout coming into this election day for the runoff. don't get their complaint. don't really understand if it's even real. heavy hitters from both political parties crossing the state for their respective candidates. not president biden, but pretty much everybody else like former president obama. not president biden. and as we reported earlier, today he is in arizona. he hasn't been in georgia to campaign with senator warnock at all. the white house says it's no big deal. >> we've said many times before at the podium the president will do anything that he can do for senator warnock to be helpful to him. he has done a high volume of fundraising, attended several political events including phone banks and unions and with unions and much more.

>> harris: republicans it's good to win a seat. you get closer. but democrats at the end of the day are still going to have at least one seat majority. no matter what the outcome of the runoff. a win by raphael warnock would give the democrats a little of breathing room. they wouldn't need kamala harris to break the tie. it will be easier for democrats to push through their agenda. manchin and sinema. if walker wins republicans would keep joint control of senate committees and democrats would still need to rely on vice president kamala harris to break that tie vote. fox business's connell mcshane is live in norcross, georgia. connell. >> you know, both sides will tell you that the republican herschel walker needs a big in-person turnout with a chance

to win the race today. this is in gwinnett county. we had folks lined up and then a lull. last hour it started to pick up a little bit once again as the weather improved slightly. the heavy rain started to taper off. as we talked to voters on their way out of the gymnasium no matter who they voted for, it was important for them to be here today to do it in person. >> i think it's very important. i encourage everybody to take this initiative every single time because i just don't ever want to feel like i didn't have a chance to express my point of view. >> they said that republicans like to vote in person. that's true. i just don't trust the little polling sites where you drop your ballot in and they go and retrieve them. i'm scared of that. >> both of the candidates have election day events today.

looking at herschel walker meeting and greeting in cobb county. you don't always see that. senator warnock in gwinnett county. we expect to see him at a location where we're set up after spending the entire day yesterday in the city of atlanta talking to young voters. he was adamant at one of the events we attended saying herschel walker could still win. there was a path for walker to beat him in the race. warnock said his biggest fear people would see stories about how he was building momentum and his supporters wouldn't show up today at the polls. so one final observation from here in gwinnett county, we have seen a number of people at this location showing up and they are told when they get here they are in the wrong place. what happens is in the busy early voting period you talked about you can vote anywhere in your county. today on election day itself you have to show up in your particular precincts which is creating an issue for some voters.

>> harris: at the end of the day it will come down as being curious enough as voters to know what to do on election day. democrats make hay of situations like this saying it's broken, it doesn't work. unless they win. and then what is it? was it really republicans messing with voting? no, never was. connell, good to see you. rick scott, chairman of the national republican senatorial committee is looking at the georgia race for all the reasons i mentioned because if republicans can take it, they will maintain that struggle or evenness if you will inside the committees in the senate. that's important. he will go in "focus" minutes from now. watch for that. the white house is apparently doing its very best to downplay elon musk's twitter files ripping the new twitter ceo and his release of internal communications that show platform executives were giving democrats and biden campaign

preferential treatment. now there are receipts. >> we see this as an interesting or a coincidence, if i may, that he would so haphazardly push this distraction, that is a -- full of old news, if you think about it. and at the same time twitter is facing very real and very serious questions about the rising volume of anger, hate, and anti-semitism on their platform. and how they are letting it happen. >> harris: "new york post" pointing the finger at the intelligence community for their letter about the hunter biden laptop story. a couple of opinion headlines here. the f.b.i.'s fake warnings about our hunter story were clearly a cover-up to biden. officials who claimed hunter biden's laptop was russian disinformation are far more blame worthy than twitter

censors. jason, in watching this happen and unfold and learning more and more and seeing kyle rittenhouse come out with a challenge for elon musk, can you look into what they did for me and show them those files? this is picking up speed. what do you think about the white house and what it is doing? >> for the white house spokesperson to suggest that it was merely a coincidence, remember, james baker was the general counsel for the federal bureau of investigation and then he goes over and starts working for twitter. you are telling me he doesn't have any communication with the department of justice along the way? that he wasn't doing something with biden? these types of things in revelations, hats off to elon musk. he did exactly what he said. used his own money, exposing the

truth. the democrats and white house can't stand it and tried to dismiss it. the 51 intel people many who still have security clearances for them to try to sway the election by saying it is just russians but really it was them using russian-type tactics to sway an election away from trump towards biden. that's what is so shameful. those people ought to be called up to congress and have every single one of those security clearances revoked. >> harris: president biden deflecting more than once on the family business during his 2020 campaign. we all watched this happen in realtime. now it has a little more texture and meaning. the "wall street journal" is writing this. there is no -- there is so much recent news about all the people who embraced a political falsehood in 2020 that sometimes it is hard to remember the deceptive statements by the person at the center of the story. here is an example where biden denied hunter made any money in

china despite the mountains of receipts, evidence that we now have to show you the contrary. watch. >> vice president biden there have been questions about the work your son has done in china and for ukrainian energy company when you were vice president. in retrospect was anything about those relationships inappropriate or unethical? >> president biden: nothing was unethical. my son has not made money in terms of this thing about what are you talking about, china. i have not had -- the only guy that made money from china is this guy. the only one. nobody else has made money from china. >> harris: did he just not know his son was making bank from china or what happens there? >> hunter biden was on the airplane with joe biden going to china. so -- he is pictured with photographs and emails, text messages, voice mails, we have all kinds of receipts. we have hunter biden going on an airplane with his business partner on air force two to

mexico. we have louie fried, the former f.b.i. director in the clinton administration sending a thank you note to hunter biden in an email saying i've deposited $1 hundred thousand into a trust account for relatives of joe biden. so this is such a lie that they continue to spiel out there. i want to see louiefree in front of the country testifying and explaining why $1 hundred thousand went into joe biden's relatives' account as a thank you for them opening up the doors at the department of justice to give them business out of romania. explain that to us. somebody has to ask the white house about this. it still hasn't happened. >> harris: it's interesting. i'm often reminded because you know so much about the process that you were the chairman of the oversight committee. it is from that point of view you must be looking at this. americans need to know the answers to this. this is about is a president free to make decisions on our

behalf that benefit the american public or is he forced to capitulate because of some former business dealings that we know nothing about? your last quick thought and we'll move on. >> james comer and the house of representatives need gavels. james comer is about to become chairman and see if the white house will follow up at the subpoenas like they did when the democrats were in control. >> harris: jason chaffetz breaking it down for us as we learn more from the twitter files. we'll get together again and talk more. i have a little bit about dr. fauci and a nugget that his daughter was working at twitter at the height of the pandemic and love to talk to you about. it is interesting. he lied when he said he didn't know anybody working in digital media on those platforms. more to come and more to do with twitter. jason, thank you. the biden administration

skrachlg to replenish our depleted emergency oil supply. this time it is critical because it's cold in country. we are talking heating oil. you know, they drained the one source ahead of the mid-terms to bring down the gasoline prices at the pump. but the white house basically says that move saved the world. newt gingrich said one thing is key to herschel walker's victory in georgia today. >> a surprisingly important election. second time in two years georgia has had a surprisingly important runoff. i think from the standpoint of conservatives, people have to really hope that everyone will turn out to vote for herschel. >> harris: it's a race both political sides have made the most expensive senate race this cycle. its consequences are larger than just the balance of power. we want to go deeper on this issue now and tell you what's at stake in georgia. republican senator rick scott in

>> harris: i want to thank everybody i'm seeing as i travel across the country reading my book. you saw a little bit from that capture there some of the people in prayer circles with me. the divine assignment of my life is to be a witness. i'm witnessing faith, testimonies of miracles and sharing them with you with this book. so thank you for those of you who are picking it up for friends and relatives this christmas. i'm very greatful. we'll move on. senator john kennedy is just one of the high-profile republicans who were showing up for herschel

walker in georgia. >> dear lord, save us from a iq stupid people. they may be smart, but they don't have any sense. now, you know who they are. they are all over washington, d.c. they walk around with zip lock bags of kale that they can eat to give them energy. i don't eat kale. you know why? it tastes to me like i would rather be fat. mr. walker understands that republicans may not be perfect, but the other side is crazy, folks. >> harris: we'll get into more about what is happening in georgia. we have some breaking news right now. the congressional gold medal ceremony is happening for

capitol police. let's watch. >> to uphold your oath. you were confronted by individuals engaged in heinous behavior with intent of causing you harm and destroying our democratic process. you did not give up and you did not give in. and yes, you were vastly outnumbered. but you were determined. exhausted and injured, it was your blood, your sweat, and your tears that marked these grounds where we stand today. and you endured this without reluctance. this commitment to our nation is a reflection of your spirit and serves as an enduring reminder that adversity is also an opportunity and one of the greatest strengths is our ability to overcome insur mountable obstacles. that day you showed the world just a glimpse of who we are.

i am immensely proud of the work you did that day to return the legislative body to the chambers and restore order to our democratic process. your actions were powerful and the legacy strengthened. unprecedented crisis that called for unprecedented action and the congressional gold medal is a product of your efforts as guardians of our democracy. so on behalf of the 4,000 members of the metropolitan police department i'm humbled and privileged to accept this highest honor bestowed on us by members of congress. god bless everyone and to our police officers, you are an inspiration to all americans. thank you [applause] .

>> ladies and gentlemen, the united states army band with the army chorus. ♪ from sea to shining sea america ♪ ♪ america ♪ >> harris: as we've been watching this short ceremony, hundreds of police officers with the capitol police will receive the gold medal from the ceremony today. you saw a bipartisan audience there with the leader of the republicans in the house kevin mccarthy there and others in the room. so we wanted to show this to you as it is happening live on capitol hill. there was a single acceptance of

all of those medals for the 100 police officers who will get it. they will show up in four locations we're told. let's move back now to georgia and what is happening there. joining "focus" now the chair of senate republicans campaign arm senator rick scott of florida. first of all, before we went to the ceremony we were hearing from senator kennedy really making a push for herschel walker. he feels like he has a good chance. i just want to get your top line thoughts on the actual runoff today. >> i want to thank capitol police and kept us safe. law enforcement across the country care about our safety every day. with regard to herschel walker i am confident he will win. the reason why is people want a senator that will represent georgia. his opponent warnock doesn't represent georgia. here is the key. the key is you. if you are in georgia, if you know somebody in georgia, you have to do everything you can to make sure you go vote or you call that person in georgia and

say this is important. we have got to make sure herschel wins. herschel will be a great senator. he has run a business and knows what it is like to be an employee and an owner and knows what it is like to have to worry about a paycheck. he has done those things. he works his butt off all the time and the importance of representing his state. warnock represents new york. so the whole key is get out to vote. the benefit of a 50/50 senate rather than 51 democrats, 49 republicans. all of our committees, if it's 50/50 we'll have the same number republicans and democrats which means if you want any legislation passed or nominee to come out of a committee you have to get one member of the republican party to vote for them. if not it doesn't come out of committee. it makes a big difference whether it's 50/50 or 51-49. this race is very important if we want to block bad bills, want to block wasteful spending, want to block bad nominees.

herschel has to win today. get out and vote and make sure you know -- everybody you know that can vote today in georgia get them to go out and vote for herschel walker. >> harris: you make exactly a fine point of what i've been saying for weeks now since the early voting started and even back in the mid-term elections. where is it true what democrats were saying, which really they were trying to victimize voters, were saying about the unfair election laws in georgia? where is that playing out to be true with the record numbers of people who voted just to get to this day? >> it is just lies by democrats. they can't talk about inflation. they caused it. or crime because they caused high crime and the woke military. they want to distract the voters. voters have to focus on what's important to them. what should be important to most americans is we have to get this inflation down. republicans can do that. we have to balance the budget.

republicans will do that. republicans are focused on crime and strong military. republicans can do that. the democrats want to distract the voters, republicans want to accomplish something. we have to be clear what we'll do and make sure it happens. >> harris: the real damage that's done by not being honest with people that they can get to the polls and they can do what they need to do early vote or today is that some of them will listen and sit down and that matters to both political parties because we should want and need an engaged electorate. we have one. they are not really listening to all the bad messaging. while you were talking. i want to talk about this. a lot of money poured into the mid-term elections. you told us the stakes are today. why are democrats willing to spend -- almost three times as much as republicans for something that they are the

incumbency on? >> the democrats have to spend money to try to lie to the public because they want run on a positive record. warnock acts like he is a normal person who votes for everything schumer proposes. voted to increase spend being, voted to keep the border open. doesn't support law enforcement or the military. he wants people to go out and say he is doing something else. herschel walker is an honest person who will till he will represent georgia and act in the best interest of georgia. the democrats are going to -- they're raising money because they want a majority to keep doing these things. >> harris: senator rick scott, formerly, great to see you to break it down. we'll break away for breaking news. i look forward to the next time you are in "focus." i mentioned before at the gold medal ceremony for capitol police 100 officers being recognized that the leader of the republicans in the house is there and this is kevin mccarthy.

let's watch together. >> thank you and god bless. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, the honorable mitch mcconnell. republican leader of the united states senate. >> it doesn't take long before anyone working in the capitol complex comes to see our policemen and police women as familiar colleagues. they are the first faces we see on our way in each morning and our last senate goodbyes every night. it's like members and staff. the uscp are part of the

ordinary bedrock of daily life. but some days the worst days, the hardest days, we are starkly reminded these brave men and women in and out of uniform, are not an ordinary part of the fabric. they are not colleagues just like any other. when the rest of us move away from danger, they move toward it. when circumstances make everyone else think of safety first, they put theirs last. and when an unhinged mob tried to come between the congress and our constitutional duty, the capitol police fought to defend not just this institution but our system of self-government.

on-duty officers held the line. off-duty officers left their families and raced back here. local officers from surrounding areas and federal personnel from multiple agencies rushed to the scene and joined forces to help clear the capitol and restore law and order. because of your bravery and professionalism, congress finished our job that very night, because you honored your oath to support and defend the constitution, we were able to honor ours. that is a reality that was made especially clear 23 months ago, but it is true every single day. thank you for having our backs,

thank you for saving our country, thank you for being not just our friends, but our heroes. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, the honorable charles e. schumer, democratic leader of the united states senate. >> madam speaker, leader mcconnell, leader mccarthy, chief, reverend, my colleagues, friends, families. january 6th was a day of violence and a day of darkness. but today under this hallowed capitol dome we come to sankty

sanctify it as a day of heroes. we offer the highest honor to the capitol police and metropolitan police of washington, d.c. on the day democracy faced maximum danger, these public servants responded with maximum valor. whether it was holding the line on the lower west terrace or leading insurrectionists away from the senate chamber or acting quickly to protect members and staff, history will forever note that on january 6th democracy lived on because of them. today we are here to say thank you, thank god for you. a year can pass, two years can pass, a decade can pass, but

january 6th will always seem like yesterday to me. i can remember sitting on the floor of the senate that day when my detail suddenly came up and said senator, we have to get you out of here. you are in danger. and he grabbed me by the jacket as we ran out of the chamber. at one point i was within 30 feet of the rioters before my brave detail pulled me away to safety. their quick thinking, valor, ability to stay calm in the face of violence undoubtedly saved lives that day. and again, our thanks will forever remain immeasurable. so, too, will our gratitude towards everyone who stepped up that day from the national guard to the capitol staff who restored these halls after the violence. as we observe this solemn

occasion we acknowledge that no honor, no recognition can bring back to the officers we lost to the attack. we mourn their loss. we pray for their families. and we honor their limitless heroism in the face of the unthinkable. and to every member of the capitol police and metropolitan police who still bear the scars from that attack, we are here for you always. it cannot be any other way. on that terrible day in january, you stared directly into the heart of darkness and though outnumbered, you held the line, the line of democracy. you bravely held it and democracy endured. in return, those of us in elected office must always strive the care for you, to support your physical safety and

mental health. to give you the tools necessary to do your jobs to the best of your ability. to my personal detail, mike, kevin, joe, dejuan and chris as well as antonia, larry, christian, brian, richardson and alex, thank you. thank you. what you do every day to keep me, my family, and my staff safe. you are the best of the best. you make your department proud. finally, let me say this. the dome of this capitol is kept lit by day and night as an enduring symbol of our precious democracy. it is a message to the entire world that here in america self-rule must forever serve as our bedrock. on january 6th, that light flickered for a brief harrowing

moment but it was rekindled anew thanks to the bravery of our capitol police, the d.c. metropolitan police and others who protect this capitol. today because of these heroes, the vision of our founders remains alive in our time. so thank you, god bless you, god bless our democracy. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, the honorable nancy pelosi speaker of the united states house of representatives. >> it is an emotional day for all of us that you can just imagine what it is for our capitol police and metropolitan

police and the families that are here. listening to the music of the army band, u.s. army band, was so beautiful. let us salute them again for the beautiful -- [applause] it's all lovely. i'm glad you went to the fourth verse, oh butteful for patriot's dream that sees beyond the years, undimmed by human fears. that has always been my favorite line because it is who we are as a country. may we also be patriots who see beyond the years. thank you for being so beautiful in your presentation. here we are again under this beautiful dome as has been referenced by our colleagues in leadership. this beautiful dome, magnificent dome of the united states

capitol, which let us recall was built during the civil war. at the time, the iron and steel used for the construction was said to be needed for the war effort but president lincoln said to halt the work on the dome would be -- wouldn't be right. and he said no. and so in face of brutal violence at the time, the work went on. the work went on because lincoln knew that we needed a national symbol, a beacon of patriotism, determination, and resilience. isn't it magnificent? may we be worthy to work under it. [applause] more than a century and a half later, these high ideals were once again on display right here

on this sacred ground beneath the dome. on january 6th we all witnessed the gleeful desecration of our temple of democracy in a violent insurrection against our republic. our congressional community knows profound terror of that day firsthand. members of congress fled for their lives. staff barricaded behind office doors. support staff who were on this capitol hid under furniture at the sound of blood curdling screams and the smell of gas and smoke remain raw. that day the capitol police, metr metro poll -- may i thank the national guard for continuing that protection ending the day and continuing that protection. with great patriotism -- [applause]

again, harkening back to lincoln, with great patriotism, determination and resilience, they answered the call to serve putting their lives on the line to protect the capitol, the congress, and the constitution. your valor on that dark day is the stuff of legend, and like the dome, they fought to defend a source of strength and hope and we thank you for that. united in grief and gratitude today we award them the congressional gold medal forever etching their herroism into our history. in doing so we thank those heroes for their service and sacrifice, especially more than

140 members of our protection left with lasting scars and many more suffering from indelible trauma. may we always remember the fallen, the martyrs for democracy, including u.s. capitol police officer sit knick whose parents are here today. u.s. capitol police officer howard lever-in good and jeffrey smith and u.s. capitol police officer billy evans killed later on good friday. let us acknowledge and thank them. [applause]

i also want to acknowledge those members of the police force in the district of columbia as well as the capitol police who had the courage to tell in testimony what they witnessed that day. and may i acknowledge the mayor of washington, thank you, mayor, for being with us and with the metropolitan police. [applause] in his gettysburg address of november 18th lincoln stood on the ground consecrated by the blood of patriots and spoke to the duty to defend democracy. let us recall his words. it is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that we are here highly resolved that these dead shall not have died in vain. that this nation under god shall have a new birth of freedom and

the government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth. shall not perish from the earth. no matter what the assault, as we saw on january 6th. thank you to our heroes for being with us today and thank all of you for joining us as we cannonize these heroes and the patriots of beautiful for patriots dreams. may god bless them and their families and you and your families, may god bless the united states of america. thank you all for being with us today. thank you. [applause] ♪ >> harris: with that the

ceremony will go on with the canonization in wrrecognition a republicans and democrats referred to from capitol police. it was unfortunate at one point that it became very political for schumer. we will move on now and wanted to show you the ceremony, the congressional gold medal ceremony for the officers on january 6th. president biden headed to arizona today but many are calling him out for not including the men and women on our southern border in his trip. his policies are letting into the nations hundreds of thousands of unknown, unvetted gotaways and more than 2 1/2 million illegal immigrants who must be met by u.s. border patrol and national guardsmen and women in different states like arizona along the border. the huge is crushingly huge as we've been reporting to you. when the president was pressed on it or when the white house

secretary spoke.>> is the presi visit the border, will he do it in the new year? >> i addressed this last week about the president visiting the border. i won't go beyond what i just laid out. we believe the question again, as i was just answering to your colleague in the back, is that what are congressional republicans going to do to actually deal with this issue? instead of doing political stunts. >> harris: actually peter doocy is here live from the white house and she spoke about it last week and spoke without the fax. she said he had been there and as a candidate he was there as a drive-by many years ago. the point of this was what the president said. the quiet part out loud, peter. he said this isn't important to him right now. there are other things more important to him right now. >> we have the tape here. i had a chance to ask the president to elaborate why

today's trip out west was planed the way it was. >> why go to a border state and not visit the border? >> president biden: more important thing going on. they'll invest billions of dollars in a new enterprise. >> today is more of a celebration of an administration policy that appears to be working well. going to a plant that makes micro chips in the u.s. and invest $40 billion in its arizona operation. that is something that could have a huge long-lasting impact, since we've seen how finicky supply chains can be. with that said regarding the president's comment the national border patrol president is tweeting visiting an ice cream shop very important. visiting our border where deaths and fentanyl smuggling with thousands dying as a result not important. there are other critics in congress who believe the president could squeeze in a trip a little further south. >> when you're done visiting the

chip plant, drive 192 miles south and go to yuma, arizona, take the border czar with you and mayokas with you and dhs secretary and talk to the border patrol in yuma, arizona. once you talk to them and they explain what they are up against. >> presidents get to pick where they go. on an election day in georgia this president wants to highlight something going okay for them. the micro chip manufacturing and highlight that as opposed to going to the border and highlight that both parties admit in a big mess. >> harris: presidents get to pick their words. he could have been silent but it wasn't important. >> we're happy to always get an answer. thank you, mr. president if you are watching on air force one. >> harris: thank you, peter. illegal immigrant encounters are up more than 37% this year. so let's get into what the

president doesn't want to talk about. peter is right about that. he changed the subject on us today. we did get an answer and the truth is helpful. reaching a record 2.3 million in fiscal year 2022 is what we've seen. agents are counting an average of some 6,000 crossings every day. they aren't going to checkpoints, they are going around them and why our men and women are working mightily against a surge that has them out numbered. estimated to triple when title 42 ends december 21st. that's the president trump era public health policy that allowed agents to quickly deport illegal immigrants. some of them. it was quelling the flow. power panel now, cassie from america rising pac director and also a former dnc secretary. cassie, i start with you to set the stage. if you want to bring in the fact the president doesn't want to talk about this, you can do that too. >> harris, as you know the reality what it looks like on

the border and the fact the president won't visit it is a thumb in the eye for the people defending the border. this is a distraction instead of the good thing that is happening elsewhere in the state. for people in arizona who say we are over in a border state every day. this is the issue top of mind to us every day. impacts our way of life every day. it is disrespectful the president won't address it as he addresses the other issue. why can't he do both? >> harris: fox learned that republican senator tillis and democrat sinema are working on a deal more funding for border officers. pathway to citizenship. some republicans have expressed opposition to amnesty in new border legislation. your response to something

bipartisan with sinema. >> it is a good conversation starter. if we will move on this before the new congress it has to happen quickly. look, dreamers should be protected. they came to this country no fault of their own. they didn't decide to come to the country illegally. they should be provided a path to citizenship. i will say quickly on the president's visit to arizona. the fact that he does not visit the border doesn't mean he doesn't care about immigration. the first thing he did was put forward an immigration bill. the republicans ignored. 2023 budget the president's budget hundreds of millions of dollars for the border. republicans want to ignore it. president biden did more than trump did. we have to remember we got out of mexico $1.5 billion for the border. it's leadership when it comes to immigration. not enough. we have to do more. we need republicans to join us to get it done. >> harris: have you figured out how to tell the people getting

away 1 million now not to do that? take more money to do that. you'll have to communicate that very loudly. good to see you both. thank you next time. if you've got a side hustle the i.r.s. is coming for you. the agency is requiring people to report any transaction over $6 hundred. the new rule part of president biden's american rescue plan. think about it. that's reselling a couch or concert ticket or scooting money over to a relative who is in trouble this winter because they have to pay the high energy prices. the amount is down from $20,000. republicans are calling out the crackdown. >> it is just trying to get by especially now when they are trying to pay their bills, do what's right and, you know, they have fearful of making a minor mistake that could put them in the crosshairs of the i.r.s. this is really not only a waste of government resource but certainly a heavy-handed

government that should really scare people and alarm people. >> harris: it is scaring people, what are you talking about? raymond arroyo fox news contributor. if you are moving around $20,000 making deals on zell or whatever it is the i.r.s. has looked at that okay, that was the threshold. $6 hundred. >> what did we imagine joe biden was going to do with those 87,000 new i.r.s. agents, right? it's exactly what i said. it was to come after mom and pop, you and me, the middle class of america. they expect this law -- remember, anything over $6 hundred. that means if you resell two tickets to a broadway show guess what? they require ticketmaster and stub hub your i.r.s. number and give it to the government . >> harris: if you're in a state that has baby formula and you have an aunt kathy or sister who needs it and you purchase that

to send to them and your transaction is probably going to be $6 hundred if you have special faormula. >> if they repay you. >> harris: is that a transaction the i.r.s. is interestsed? who set the threshold of $6 hundred. >> congress did. they lowered it from $20,000. >> this is a honey pot for audits. >> harris: did this have a 60 vote threshold. >> no it changed our tax law. no one under $4 hundred thousand would be targeted by his tax plan. this will hit people making nothing to millions. but it is going to hit the middle class. this is wrong. this is wrong. it needs an amendment. >> harris: look, the reason that i'm putting a fine point on this, democrats scooted around

republicans. they didn't need them for this. you can bet they would have fought hard. >> not one republican voted for this bill. >> harris: they have voters to answer to. we have had a baby formula crisis. just an example. >> give reimbursements for employers all of that is subject to audit. >> the book is "the wise men who found christmas." thank you for runty it for kids. >> thank you for your great book which we've been reading. >> harris: "outnumbered" after the break. thank you. 100% of your home's value. with home values near record highs, the newday 100 va loan can get you an average of $60,000. and you can lower your payments by $600 a month. pay down your high-rate credit card debt, personal loans, car loans. best of all, there are absolutely no upfront
