♪ 'twas the week before christmas and through the senate and house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. the senators were nevada all snug in their beds while visions of pork danced in their heads. no budget was found just mischief and debt while the taxpayers hung their poor heads and wept. away to the window they flew like a flash, tore open the shutters whether they heard the word cash. when what to my wondering eyes should appear but a 4,000 page omni with endless debt year after year. >> jesse: can you smell the kentucky bourbon. you see the bill funds the federal government for the next year. and if congress doesn't pass it the government shuts down. people get laid off. and they put chains around the national parks. they know nobody wants that. so they shove in anything they want. it's by design. washington didn't always work like this. up until 25 years ago this never happened. they used to have federal

spending figured out months in advance until politicians realized they can hold the capitol hostage by delaying it until december. this week democrats dumped 4,000 pages at 1:30 in the morning and told everybody to vote yes if you want to see your family this christmas. who cares if we tack on another trillion to the national debt or super charge inflation. nobody wants to look like the bad guy, who they just pass it without reading it. nancy pelosi has been doing this for years. she was asked about it last week. >> we have always talked about this being a tactic that you do a cr now so that you are forced to do an omnibus right before christmas and everybody just wants to get out of the building. talk about this. >> whose tactic is it? this is certainly something we would have liked to have done before. >> jesse: we would have loved to get it done sooner. we were just so b.s. busy hanging out with clooney at the kennedy awards. what's in this thing?

let's take a look. >> they snuck $3.5 million in for michelle obama hiking trails in georgia. why didn't they name it after hillary? she likes to hang out in the woods. remember? another 2 million for the great blacks and wax museum in baltimore. baltimore needs a lot of help. i don't think a wax museum is what they are looking for. 3 million is going to an lgbtq plus museum in new york and they are blowing nearly 400 billion on a new fbi headquarters. so, they interfere in our elections and then we give them a half a trillion dollars bonus. what do they need a new headquarters anyway for? didn't elon musk kick them out of the twitter building? also hidden deep in the bill, 3 million to make highways more befriendly. sound like a lot of money to plant a couple flowers. but they topped that off with another half billion for family planning where population growth threatens biodiversity. translation, that means we're

paying women to abort their babies to save the trees. 45 billion is going to ukraine, obviously. but that's not enough. we're also spending some cash for the new ukrainian independence park in washington. the homeless cannot wait to move in. speaking of homeless, the bill also gives a million to the homeless in los angeles to stay in motels. you have to pay for your hotel room though. but if it's the homeless, it's on the house. they are also blowing 200 million on a gender equity fund. we're not really sure what that is but we know some of the money is going to gender programs in pakistan. no country steals our money better than the pakistanis. our pentagon is getting some money, too. 8.6 million for gender adviser programs which means the marines are getting sensitivity training. because that's how we like our marines. sensitive. another 100 million is going to environmental justice. you know, so biden's donors can

build power plants in poor white neighborhoods instead of poor black neighborhoods. 2 million is going towards improving coordination, quote unquote in new york city's mayor's office. that's a lot of cash to tell eric adams to shut up and stop complaining about illegals. and the bill renames a federal building after nancy pelosi. and we hear it sets right across from that $2 million toilet. 410 mill is going to the border. no, no. not our border. that money is for jordan, lebanon, egypt, tunisia and oman. apparently walls work in the northeast not north america. another half billion is going to fauci's old agency the nih for diversity, equity inclusion and structural racism. so fauci funded a wuhan lab that killed millions of americans and congress is worried that fauci hired too many italians. also in the bill a big win for

"primetime" radical federal regulators were trying to shut down maine's lobster industry, remember? they said they were killing whales, which never happened. once we caught wind of the story we stood up the lobsterman and said if they wanted to get to the lobster men they would have to go through us first. this bill paused the regulations. the lobster men are saved. we're happy but that shouldn't have been in this bill and it should have been passed under duress. most of the senators who voted probably had no idea this was even in there, just like all the other pork. the whole process is sneaky, broken, and corrupt. it's not how we should run our government. it's a dirty system they have crafted over the last decade or so. and it's bankrupting the country. if a senator votes on something, they should know what's in it. they should have time to read it. and they shouldn't let their colleagues get away with sending money to bee friendly highways, pakistani gender programs and

wax museums. let's turn it over to kellyanne former white house counselor and fox news contributor. so, this is by design. they just tee it up until christmas eve and you are just the worst person in the world if you hold it up. they got us by, you know what, kellyanne. >> i'm coming in hot tonight, jesse. instead of crowing about bipartisan support for this awful omnibus, even worse than usual, there should be bipartisan outrage and opposition. you just provided a public service announcement by transparently surfacing what is actually in this omnibus. now, there are good things like 878 billion or so for the military. they will get a pay raise. we will save lives enable fleet 45 billion more than joe biden wanted as the commander-in-chief. but it's a nondiscretionary spending that includes all of the pork and the special interest projects you just said. why should people be upset? because it's their money. people have to understand there's not some slush fund,

some big black hole fund in washington, d.c. that the senator just pull from. it's your money. and, jesse, it comes at a time when people are cutting back. 63% of americans say they are living paycheck to paycheck. personal debt in the household has increased as our national deficit is over # $1 trillion. that is 248,000 for every taxpayer, 94,000 for every citizen. when your son was born a couple years ago born with $90,000 worth of debt. can't talk yet. can't use the bathroom on his own. 94,000. $90,000 worth of debt. so, ladies and gentlemen, this only happens if we allow them to be as air gant as they are in washington and if we are as ignorant as they assume we are and we are just not. i think it's time for people to really rise up and stand up and speak up about this, jesse. it wasn't that long ago we function in washington they could pass normal regular spending bills. this one is particularly bad for another reason. a lot of these retiring senators

out the door in two weeks' time are the ones poring it up. they're the ones regarding it up the most. this is not what the voters just ask for. they asked for a republican majority in the house. all they need to do was pass enough to fund the year. and then turn around with those who were elected in the new congress and do a larger bill. >> jesse: do you know what michelle obama should do? listen, do not spend gazillions of dollars on a hiking trail for me. we can save the money. you know, if you want to rename a trail that already exists, just take some other name off it, put my name. but do they have to spend $16 million to cut down a bunch of trees and put up a little monument for michelle in georgia? does she really want that? mitch shell, do you really want that, michelle obamacare? >> you know, i like that. maybe she will like that. say barack and i have been blessed i would have to fly. or washington, d.c. a block away to hike on my trail.

>> jesse: has michelle ever been seen hiking in georgia? god. >> maybe she is stacey abrams now that that one has little to do having lost governorships back to back. jesse, speaking of the nancy pelosi and pat leahy grants total about 65 million. i just have a question about the nancy pelosi building in san francisco. are we all in? is that costs all in or are their extenders? is there extra costs for the homeless to be outside. for the syringes and human waste to be left on the sidewalk? i want to know what's in the 65 million. >> jesse: i have a feeling paulie p. might get a cut from that. we will probably find out years later. kellyanne merry christmas, go eagles. >> merry christmas to you. go birds, beat those cowboys. >> jesse: see you soon. joe biden is souring on kamala harris. and americans are straight up opening fire on police officers. >> hey, hey.

belongings all over the sidewalk. this is what dozens of blue cities across the country look like at any given moment. so where do you think this is? portland? seattle? skid row? no. this is el paso, texas. but i don't blame you. i mean, it looks like any given day in san francisco. the only difference between the two cities is one asks what pronouns you use and one asks if you are packing. only a matter of time before these two cities are completely indistinguishable at some point millions of illegals will be able to do what beto never could, turn texas blue. is this why biden let the border self-destruct under his watch? if that's the plan, it's an awfully inhumane way to do it. look at these migrants. freezing. gathering around in fires, sleeping in airports. if this was happening under trump, aoc would be completely out of crocodile tears.

blocks now. people you can see people behind me. people in front of me and people off to the left here. that's simply because there has just been a massive surge in illegals crossings, even despite the fact that title 42 is still technically in place. it might go away next week. it might be extended yet again. but, for right now, there is clearly still a lot of people trying to get into the country during this. >> are the illegal immigrants behind you. are they waiting for a bus? a flight? what exactly are they doing? >> it depends. because some of these people, they don't have family or they don't have any sponsors to help them get money so they can get a bus ticket or airplane ticket. they are trying to figure out their next move. others are waiting for their flights. you have to remember as big as el paso is, it only has one airport it. only has one major bus station. so, you combine that with the busy holiday season, and all the

traveling that is happening with regular u.s. citizens, it does create an acute supply problem and the prices are gone up significantly for both coming and leaving el paso. so, it really just depends on what their situation is. >> jesse: you want to be compassionate at the same time you want to be thinking of the u.s. citizens who live in this country and pay taxes in this country and deserve services and deserve to be able to get out of the errant without stepping over sleeping bags after sleeping bag. all right. great reporting down there. and keep us posted. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> jesse: sometimes in life things are just a work in progress. putting a lot of time and energy into renovating an old house.
