times, tell us how. >> one, he provided ability to access the communities, neighborhoods, villages, that was important to understand nuances of who was taliban and who was not and he would monitor the taliban neighborhood, he heard about an ambush being coordinated and he tackled the taliban commander before they were able to initiate that. >> carley: we will bring zach in right now, zach, background on your thinking. being an afghan interpreter fighting the taliban, no more dangerous job than that, why did you decide to do that? >> thanks for having us. that was our partnership with the americans and i had desire

to work together with them because my country and also both nations, forces, use afghan people, so for the future of my country and for the mission of the united states, so that is why i accept the risk. >> carley: you accepted the risk to help the future of your country and major shuman, august of last year, the united states withdrawing from afghanistan and you are laser focused on getting zach and his family out of afghanistan. you knew if they stayed, it would be a death sentence, right? >> zach said, my family and i will be executed. >> carley: zach, what was going

through your head as the u.s. forces were withdrawing and you knew this could be a death sentence for you? that must be terrifying, you have five children. >> yeah, when the u.s. planned to get out of the country, before that i, i got risk, i was threatened by the enemy to they are going to kill me so i was hopeless, my life, my family, so very, very -- i didn't see a situation like that before in my whole life. >> >> carley: wow. >> everything, i just all the time. >> carley: zach, this back story is important, your special visa

was denied final time, you and your family could face deportation back to afghanistan, why was your application denied and what is your reaction this? >> i had a lot of this is because i don't have the documentation needed for the proof of my work, my employee and afghanistan with the u.s. forces, the work i did with maen radios, major tom shuman, i have that as provided, but it is not sufficient the time period it is for nine months, so i did with other people for more than two

years, but unfortunately, i don't have the documentation because they denied my case. >> carley: this is documentation issue that he did in fact work for the u.s. government for more than a year, that is the cutoff you have to work for the u.s. government to get siv, it is not documented, fill in the holes there. >> correct, we do have a letter from a second contractor, however, some force says that zach worked with were other government agencies and special forces, we've had a hard time verifying with supervisors, the types of people zach was being interpreter for are not the type of people that leave a business card, we had a hard time establishing that line of

communication. paperwork is there, just not being accepted at this time. >> carley: zach, if you are deported back to afghanistan, what does that mean for you? >> that means just lost my whole family and my life. that's it. the enemy is in the control and they are going to be killing us, that's it. >> carley: this is so hugely important, your life is on the line here and special immigrant visas are intended for afghans that help the u.s. government and that is what you did and the fact you are facing this level of uncertainty is unbelievable, you do not deserve this. thank you for doing what you did

>> carley: the biden administration asking the supreme court to end title 42 after christmas saying there is no longer justification to keep the policy in place. >> todd: migrants are packing vacant schools in el paso. kevin has more. >> kevin: asking for title 42 to remain in place just a little longer, but not indefinitely, telling u.s. supreme court the government recognizes the end of title 42 order will likely lead to disruption and temporary increase in unlawful border crossings. white house acknowledges it will

lead to more border crossings, they are not doing enough to stem the tide in the meantime and with freezing temperatures looming the city of el paso will use two vacant schools to shelter illegal immigrants who have been released from federal custody. thousands have been released into the interior of the country since mr. biden assumed office. last week the government released 10,000 into el paso, texas. the problem is at crisis level because in part the goep refuses to fully. what is more, they think they are doing it on purpose. >> it is really telling because it shows that the mainstream media they are clueless about what is going on the border.

we have record-setting numbers more than ever before, all because of joe biden's policies. >> kevin: texas governor greg abbott speaking there. releasing immigrants into the great state of tennessee. facing calls from both sides to visit the border, get down there and see what is happening first hand. next month he will meet with mexico president to discuss immigration issue the white house is not confirming if that will lead a stop along the southern border, time will tell. >> todd: don't hold your breath. america first legal, former doj advisor is here, gene, you helped craft title 42 and the a

min stragz admits it works they say they need it in place to prevent the crisis from becoming worse. does biden administration think in a week the problem will magically disappear? >> they clearly don't and things will only get worse. i spent time with the department of justice and department of homeland security. when they end title 42, things will get worse at the border, which is hard to imagine because it is so bad now. the simple facts, people need to remember, viewers need to remember, when title 42 came into effect we had one of the most secure borders in our country's history, thanks to migrant protection protocol and other efficient ways to dispose of cases at the border. >> carley: there are also drugs

and d.e.a. says it seized fentanyl this year. we spoke to a sheriff about how this is impacts his community 1900 miles from the southern border. watch this. >> one in four pills are lethal doses, we have overdose after overdose, i had an overdose this week in my jail. a woman was not breathing and my staff broughts her back, this is just my facility, let alone what is happening in the streets. the president is going to meet with the president of mexico, what the hell good is that going to do? this president needs to take a stance again the cartel. >> carley: the president will meet with the president of mexico, how should he address

this issue and what do you think he will say and do you think he will? >> president biden is not going to address the issue with the president of mexico in way that will deliver results because he doesn't care or intentionally wants this to happen. the situation that he can create if he did care, he can go to mexico and do exactly what donald trump did. we can work together and create a situation using things like the migrant protection protocol that says if you are encountered at the border crossing illegally, we'll send you back to mexico, where you will wait for a court date. you will not have control which allows things to be done fentanyl to flow in, other narcotics to flow across, you pull agents off duty to process

people streaming across the border. president biden has an opportunity and won't take it, he doesn't want that situation to occur, he doesn't want to succeed. >> carley: political. >> todd: great point, doesn't want to succeed, i've never seen a legal argument that the doj made yesterday in front of the supreme court. this works, we want it to work for six days and then don't want it because we don't think it is good for the country. they admit the policy and say we don't want it, they want open border and they will get it through horrible legal arguments. >> look, it is bonkers. they have tools to make up for the loss of title 42, they do not want to use thachl is one

problem you are seeing play out in some briefing, we know this thing works, we know it is upon hadding manage stuff at the border, we super don't want to use other tools the trump administration used successfully to prevent mass of unlawfulness from coming into the country. the roadmap is there, they don't want to follow it, it didn't fit their political ideology. >> carley: thank you for joining us, we appreciates it. new body camera video gives first-hand look at how dangerous it is to be a police officer. watch this. >> [video playing] -- >> are you okay? >> no. >> where are you hit? >> carley: we'll tell you what happened next. >> todd: my gosh. plus, wrestling legend hacksaw

in south carolina, down a dirt road, it was totally dark. my wife is only one that had christmas lights on the whole street. i'm watching tv and she's making the bed and huge pounding on the door. i ran to the door, we are 70 yards from the road. guy opens our front door and falls in. i switch on, ready to grab him, no, no, help me. i am like, what? i grabbed him and threw him on the porch. i'm thinking it is a home ip vagz and this guy is a diversion. i grab my gun, a 44 magnum, the old dirty harry gun. i had that in my hand, waiting for someone to come, no one showed up. this guy is screaming, help me,

they're going to kill me. i'm thinking other people are coming after him. my poor wife is on the phone with 911 in hysterics. i held at man down spread eagle on the front porch while police responded and everything ended quietly, quite an experience. >> todd: that is quite a story, you come from a law enforcement family, how lucky is this guy he didn't get killed doing this? >> you know, if it was later at night, it was dark and i was coming out of the bedroom, i would have had a loaded gun with me. i came into the foiier he was in the house and i grabbed him and threw him out and grabbed the magnum and i realized he wasn't a threat and i didn't shoot him, it would be horrible to live

with. the guy did break into our house through the front door, it was terrifying for my wife. we went to bed and i said, honey, we don't need to go to the movie anymore. >> todd: this is a movie, you have 10 acres, surrounded by fence, can you imagine something like this happening to you? >> no, you run through scenarios in your head what you would do in a situation like that and it goes out the window, your adrenalin and heart pumping. i was scared to death, i had this man spread eagle, gun in my hand, my wife screaming and other people in the road yelling we're going to get you. i had no idea what the situation was, what this man brought to my house, with great response of the sheriff department,

everything ended fine. >> todd: you are of note, people know who you are, you won royal rumble, do you think he knew who you were? >> no, sir, i don't think he had a clue. he had run to every house on the street, there are four houses on our street, pounding on the door, my house has christmas lights on, he climbed over the fence and pounded on the door and fell into the house and allowed me to grab him and grab my weapon. >> todd: amazing story, story that could have ended differently, seems like you did what you are supposed to do, cops did what they were supposed to do and this guy is lucky to be alive.

washington is coming to dc to lobby for the $1.7 trillion spending bill and proposed funding to the war in ukraine that would bring the american investment up to $110 billion. he is coming to make his case to congress to justify this extraordinary amount of spending to support the war effort there. lawmakers have concern about the accountability about this massive amount of money the united states is sendings to ukraine. >> todd: where is the money going and how is it being spent? $45 billion on the line, a lot of support for ukraine in their

fight against our enemy russia. is this the best use of american taxpayer dollars? >> unfortunately, lawmakers are being denied the opportunity to have debate and discussion, part of the reason zelenskyy is coming about because he's aware of the concern republicans and lawmakers have about the lack of transparency as republicans are set to retake the majority and advocating for future spending to come. it is valid point, lawmakers say, if we continue to support this, we need to know where the money is going, what it is being spent on and ensure goal of the american public in funding this effort are being met. it is reasonable and in sum total of 4000-page amnibus bill

august of 2020 proposed to do with his executive order to ban use of tiktok. if it is dangerous for federal employees, we should be having a broader discussion about the use of that spyware here in the country. >> carley: this story is not going anywhere, thank you so. >> thank you, merry christmas. >> carley: did you see this? elon musk is stepping down as ceo of twitter? >> todd: he told us it would happen, what happens now? joe concha is cool like a cucumber, we'll find out what he thinks next.

congress there is going to be hearings around. this so what happens next? he says that well, maybe, only if there is somebody foolish enough to take over the company. this could be a long time before we find like a ted lasso type to come in and be twitter's ceo. he has done a lot already in a short period of time, todd. >> todd: jason is on the short list from what i'm told. i don't think there was ever any question he was going to continue to run this thing. he runs like 9,000 other companies. this is kind of like the not the important one in the money train of his elm piper. >> tesla, spacex. >> i don't know if this is as big a deal as the social media. first the fbi and now the pentagon, joe. look at this. another tweet in this never twitter file expose showing many of these secretive u.s. military prop began ada a counts, despite detection by twitter as late as 2020 continued tweeting through this year. some not suspended until may 2022 or later. i look at this and i say first, joe, the fbi, now the pentagon.

what's next? >> we'll see. and what's next more importantly i think at facebook, at google. if this was going on at twitter. there is a very good chance that in the culture of silicon valley, which is overwhelmingly democratic, overwhelmingly liberal that there was censorship, suppression and obviously coordination with the fbi, the military, all of these things. it shows you just how powerful social media is in our culture and the people behind it have had very little accountability until this point. >> carley: let us do an end of the year round up. shall we? president biden has only granted seven one-on-one interviews to journalists in 2022. fewer than other presidents. 11. >> formal press conferences. >> carley: trump had 18 it and obama 19. and like i said, biden had 11 press conferences and only seven one-on-one interviews. i'm sure this does not surprise

you. he does not get out in front of the media a lot in a formal setting. >> his handlers are petrified to put him in front of anybody challenging interview. when he is asked questions, particularly on the border in title 42 and massive catastrophe that may be coming he won't have any good answers for that or for crime or for inflation still above 7% or education system that's gone sideways, as protected as any president we have ever seen guys. >> todd: most infuriating story of the day. stanford university, allegedly the smart people, you publishing index of harmful language plans to eliminate from the school. ableist, ageist or racist. they want to change the word american to u.s. citizen. to say abort to cancel or end. karen to entitled white woman and grandfather to legacy. joe, how are they not reading the room that americans and, yeah, i'm going to use it, are fed up with these woke word games? nobody wants this. >> do you know how close i was to naming my daughter karen
