2:11 am
now. congressman, what steps will republicans take when they control the house next month? >> you have to take action. one thing this president, this administration and majority does, they either take no action at all and hope things will cure themselves or take the wrong action, steps we would take, the tril knowios of dollars in wasteful spending, money spent in the supposed inflation reduction act, which was inflation creation, taxation legislation in my mind, bad piece of legislation, hired 87,000 i.r.s. workers, we'll try to reverse that. spent more on taxes and taxed more on people and middle class people, don't let them tell you it was the rich, we would try to
2:12 am

2:13 am
don't have much choigs here and probably when they go to ep sloo at night praying she doesn't become a republican, that would be even better. we'll see what she does, what action she takes, it is setback for them to lose somebody as a democrat and she will caucus with the democrat and i hope she thinks independently, the pressure will be on, she is right about this issue. the federal government, this administration, this majority and this president should be so disgusted with what they're doing, they don't realize how bad a job they are doing, you have to almost believe it is purposeful, they want to change the fabric and structure of america and this is one way to do it and a bad way to do it and reverse that, as well, build the wall, put in electricic control
2:14 am
and hire more individual police, border patrol to survey the area and not only survey, but protect the area and make sure we don't catch and release. we should catch and send back, there is so much we could do. these are curable problems, we can make this better, this is not all that telectually difficult and something that can be done and just requires stiff hard good action to move forward and get our country secure again. >> todd: alejandro mayorkas wants to deploy air marshals to the area. isn't he making a bad situation worse here? >> yeah, he is, height of stupidity, he's making us more vulnerable in the air at most vulnerable time of the year, when people are traveling a lot. you would think hoo would study
2:15 am
9/11 a little bit and they will not be able to upon had, it is not what they are trained for, they are trained in highly specified, very important job to protect skies from violence and instead putting them on the border, we need border patrol people there and need them in the air. >> todd: embolden individuals to do the job and not processing and facilitating the administration horrible policies. congressman, thank you for your time. appreciate it. >> todd: 1500 migrants passing into el paso last night. nicole malliotakis has felt the impact andin jos us live. >> carley: and biden administration is defending a grant. asking trump's former budget director russell vote, if he has a problem with that, that is

>> carley: the biden administration defending a grant to energy company tied to china. financial disclosure shows 69% of income was generated from the communest country. russell vought joins us now, good morning, what do you make of this $200 million grant? >> it is concerning, when you have a company that is on a number of list of concerning companies that may be in violation of current law as pertains to the steps this country has taken to make sure there are companies firmly tied to china, making sure they use china of had based auditors.
2:21 am
this was passed, where is the money going? yes, we need to take steps to make sure we build capacity in this country. doesn't have control in place to make sure it is goes to actual companies that have that same desire is a concern in this matter. >> carley: this company makes batteries for electric companies, micro-vast. it is based in texas. the government says this is an american battery company and thanks to infrastructure law, it no longer needs to look to china to establish its manufacturing facilities and the companies they are not pro-china and create a lot of american jobs here at home. essentially their mess annual is that this grant will help them distance themselves from china, no concern. >> we have concerns and this
2:22 am
wouldn't be first set of companies to receive this know moy from department of energy. this is the concern. does the biden administration have the right perspective as it comes to regard to china and companies that are -- have had close relationship with china, this is perfect example of it and needs to be great scrutiny and many in congress are saying they intend to do so. >> carley: chinese president xi jinping just met with -- new era of chinese arab partnership. here is mike pompeo on that front. >> tadministration came in and this hurt the american people across this country and what you saw happen in the kingdom this week is bad american policy. >> carley: what it seems like,
2:23 am
because biden administration is hell bent on signing this iran nuclear deal, saudi arabia is looking for a new felonied and one of those friends is china. what do you make of this? >> that is the problem, when you have an administration that does not know how to figure out who allies are or who their adversaries are, this is not only example to the extent to which they empowered china by taking policy approach. trump set them up with proper approach to both countries and it is unfortunate they are letting the relationships unravel. >> carley: xi jinping says they wan to contribute to saudi arabia growth, it sounds like the initiative could expand to saudi arabia and they are very
2:24 am
happy to hear, what does that mean for united states if saudi arabia replaces the united states with china? >> it is an enormous problem. it is something that the united states needs to be able to ensure that a country like saudi arabia feels comfortable in alliance with the united states to understand that we're going to be able to approach them with understanding of their interest and not push them into the arms of communist china. that is not what we're seeing here right now. >> carley: biden administration has been quiet about this meeting between xi jinping and the saudi arabia crown prince, but apparentlily they are not happy about it. thank you for joining us. former obama official james clapper and brennan could find

essentially a cia operation, where you have this letter, what did you have? they had the laptop before that, who knew what and when, realize they were not doing this with a letter, supervisory agent chan meeting with twitter and agents and facebook and a lot of things going on here to erica out what they knew was a fake russia collusion story to drive this as a political weapon that could be used by joe biden in a debate with trump. when you look at this, where there is that much smoke, there has to be fire, subpoena power, compel them to come, put them under oath mccarthy and the republicans could not carry out a committee where they sit and ask questions and tell their own story for five minutes or four of the five minutes and ask a
2:33 am
question with the answer. enough. people need answers under oath and it needs to and leads to it, these people possibly may be prosecuted or should be prosecuted. >> carley: what do you think of this conversation stamping out disinformation? disinformation is having contrary opinion to the approved narrative and the federal government is saying they are trying to fight back against it. >> david: it's a lie, disinformation is a deliberate action being done by the chinese on social media playoffs like tiktok with information war fare, national security, dying strategy, information and in this case disinformation is valuable tool. calling something disinformation because it is a counter opinion that has a valid point or is
2:34 am
worthy of discussion is a lie to push one-sided information and we saw this coming out regarding so many things from covid to russia collusion, all of these issues. >> todd: school board of philly will review language in policy that state students may participate on the team of which they identify. that seems like the end of girls sports, what do you think? >> where are girls trying to playboy sports? you have 2016 and 2017 language, they want to normalize what used to be case-by-case basis, they want to make broad acceptance and pervert girl sports.
2:35 am
governor wolf vetoed this, if you are expecting biological sanity out of state that has secretary of health that is a man masquerading as a woman and becomes biden's hhs secretary and selected as one of the women of the year by "u.s.a. today," do you expect sanity out of pennsylvania and philadelphia or woke progresives? i wouldn't expect it. this is sult to girls, you should not have boys walking around with their genitals hanging out as they do with leah thomas in the locker room. we know this is going on, it is fact and for fathers and mothers, shouldureiodaughters be in locker rooms with boys? >> carley: the biden administration supporting changing title ix to make it gender neutral. got to leave it there.
2:36 am

news times, citing higher pay and less crime as reason for the move. it is latest wave of officers leaving the force as of november, 1200 officers have resigned and nypd officer told "new york post" he didn't see the trend stopping soon. >> todd: it is migration, you get those sandwiches in danbury, another reason to move. >> carley: serious story about police and crime to food, we can support that, it is time. turning to this, more twitter files are out and other than welling the length executives were willing to go to get trump off the playoff permanently. >> todd: don't expect any of the sunday shows other than ours to of cocover it, joe concha is here next. untreated covid could be deadly. got covid symptoms?

2:43 am
and disinformation, it is up to social media companies to determine how they manage their content. >> on friday night, independent journalist matt taibbi, part three of the twitter files, internal message sent by yoel roth, mentions a weekly meeting with twitter with fbi dhs and director of national security officials. message reads the meeting happened 15 minutes after the aforementioned implosion, decline to share anything useful, the implosion is reaction to cnn ourship of hunter biden laptop. on saturday night, journalist michael shellenberger shared part four of the twitter files. the thread begins with this,
2:44 am
senior twitter executives create justifications to ban trump and express no concern for the free speech or democracy implication of a ban. internal message said then ceo jack dorsey approved to ban users roth said trump had just one remaining. james comer says the gop has official evidence into investigation of fbi and twitter. listen. >> the thing that concerns me most with respect to our investigation, what role did the government play in the censorship of the hunter biden laptop story. who else has pattern of suppressing free speech and censuring conservatives.
2:45 am
>> carley: evident continues to pile up, investigate cover-up of the hunter biden laptop story. >> carley: bring in author of "come on man" another twitter file says on january 8th twitter says the ban is based on how trump's tweets are received and interpreted, twitter said it did not attempt -- they the twitter executives got into the business of taking down tweets, they were afraid of how people would interpret them? >> joe: if you're home on your computer or on a subway or bus or looking at your phone while you're at work, you're too stupid, not smart enough to understand what is and is not harmful to you and they were not
2:46 am
afraid of anything, they were working with the democratic party. females seeing the want ares from matt taibbi and weiss prove this, lockstop of msnbc, npr, "washington post," "new york times," all not covering this is as pathetic as it is predictable and the networks and outlets, this admissions just as telling as twitter itself as far as shadow banning, outright censorship, free press now appear to be saying they support the silencing of certain speech if it is something that david webb brought up before, if something they disagree with, it should be silenced. when the story is of coerred and talked about, it is being mocked as some activist journalists
2:47 am
attempt to fail to discredit matt taibbi, bari weiss. we knew shadowbanning existed, just accept it, no, we should not accept it. >> todd: joe has been talking to us about this for years, this is the most telling example, this is activism on a story that i think objectively five years ago, everybody would agree this is a big story. along those lines, elon musk posting a tweet getting attention that his pronouns like they/them, he/she, elon musk says his pronouns are prosecute dr. fauci. elon musk is a far right activist, even though he was a democrat until 10 minutes ago,
2:48 am
this invoke right fury toward anthony fauci, he triggered the lips here. joe, is elon the next donald trump in terms of getting under the left's skin? >> joe: he might be better at it, his tweets are incredible. old twitter regime never used twitter and didn't understand the product, elon musk understand it as far as sending a message and his tweets are viewed by millions upon millions of people and appear to be triggering certain folks on the left and doing it in a way where to your point he used to be the guy saving the world with tesla and space x and now part of the right and sharing his opinion. that is what twitter is for,

2:56 am
taps catastrophe. >> tom homan saying it's all about the policies. >> by implementing a few common sense policies, they can push these numbers down. more resources just to process quicker is not going to fix this problem. you have the policies of the trump administration turn them on and can you secure the border in a matter of 60 days. >> in arizona, governor doug doocy, he has gotten creative turning shipping containers into a makeshift border wall. work crews stacking hundreds of them topped by razor wire along a remote part of. set to hand off to katie hobbs who says she will consider all options but hasn't made any decisions about those containers. texas governor greg abbott has also taken matters into his own hands, deploying the texas national guard and state troopers to catch and jail illegal migrants, back to you guys. >> todd: all right, marianne, thank you. bring in nicole mall atlantic nic 345nicole malliotakis.accors

getting worse and going to be worse good 2023. they expect to hit half a million total encounters over this past weekend. that is just since october. 1/23 unless something changes when title 42 is officially gone is there anything you and your fellow republicans can do about this when you take control of the house next month? >> it's unconscionable that the president and the secretary have refused to do their job. they have abdicated their responsibility. we believe strongly that mayorkas has to go. he has to resign. we have to remove him. but that i think is, a priority of the republican house. obviously, our abilities are limited with the senate and the white house; however, we believe we can hold line and use the power of the purse, use our leverage there to push this president to do the right thing and secure our border. already you are seeing him flip
2:58 am
flop a little on title 42. seek to stop it after spending all last year trying to lift it. so, we'll see what happens moving forward. but the reality is, this is a policy that he has that is totally not compassionate at all for anyone involved. if you look at the people who are dying from fentanyl that is streaming over our border. a record of 100,000 americans last year. you see our cbp agents. 35 killed in the line of duty last year. we just had another one, agent gonzalez last week, you see 14 suicides among the cbp who are desperate because they have such apathy. they are so demoralized by this president who refuses to allow them to do their job and then refuses to actually go visit them and even hear what their concerns are at this time. and each for the migrants, okay. if this is about the migrants. 800 of them, over 800 have been killed perilous path in addition to the children that are being trafficked. and women being trafficked. i'm not sure hot president is
2:59 am
prioritizing here other other than the drug cartels. >> carley: congresswoman, the current government spending deal expires in four days on decembes are underway right now. how is that going and will there be increased border security funding in the new budget? >> well, look, with one party rule, there won'table increased funding. we have been fighting for that for quite some time. what i will say is next year, when we take the house, and that's why we are hoping it's a short-continuing resolution, when we take the house, we will put pressure on this president. i think this is the area where we need to really fight hard, republicans, and stick together. we don't have secure borders, i'm really concerned about what's going to happen. we have 100 people on the terrorist watch list who were caught crossing over. what about the hundreds of thousands of got-aways that had no interaction with cbp agents? 73,000 in the month of november alone. and if you look at the stats from cbp, they will show you, look, the people who have been convicted and have tried
3:00 am
crossing, again, has skyrocketed under president joe biden. we're talking about 22,000 people just in the last two years since he has become president. again, who is among the got aways? that's what we need to be concerned about. we need secure borders. they have to allowing feel. >> carley: we have to leave it that. thank you so much, congresswoman. with that fox and friends starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> carley: director of national intelligence forcing top biden administration officials into damage control mode. >> we 'directing companies on 'aren't directingcompanies thoul content. >> becomer locker bescotland set to appear in court. >> killing all on board. >> libya turned this person over. we should get as much information from him as possible. >> border crisis completely out of control. more than 1500
