seven trillion dollar omnibus spending bill being rammed t through congress does little to nothing for, as an example,dr us border security, all whileaty democrat. o shru and frankly, some senate republicans, of course, f the worst shrug of border crisis in modern american history. that modern is hurting americansain h more and more by the day. yet again,is this week, videoila shows illegal migrants pouring across the border overl whelming authorities with no end inth sight. and get this in the last year, there were well over one hundred thousand overdosetiu deaths here in the unitedr acro states as drugs continue to pour across the southern border and take innocent americanin lives. in 2020 two alone, the dea seized enough fentanyl. everybody get this to kill everybody. fin our entire country.r left but for the far left, democrats ,it' s low on the list of priorities as senate democrats for the third time blocked

republican senator bill haggerty's legislation to crack down on fentanyl crossing the bordeborderrvery and remember, biden's border crisis is so bad that every state ofrder course, is nowg fo a border state. cities across the country are bracing for an even worseection influx once title 40 to borders protections are eventuallyms i lifted. for example, new york city mayor eric adams is predicting that over one thousand migrantsa a weekrriv will arrive in new york city early next year, with the mayor warning that the surge will impact access to basic services for new york city's legal residents, which are, of course, already a problem here a . this is a crisis caused by joe biden, enabled by joe biden and getting worseer under joe biden and the democrats. bueaders, don'tt many elected , they don't seem to care as once again in washington, the the interests of everyday americans take a backseat to the interests of the swamp.u, here for reaction, someone you know and like and trust, former hawaii congresswoman tulsi gabbard. welcome aboard.

con tulsi look, you when you leftthe the democratic party, you mentioned that you were gettinbg a sense and it was unacceptable to you that washington had stopped caring about average americans, about regular people with what i opened with here. >> what's your take on where we stand right now? y righi mean, you're exactly ri, tammy. that's really what's aearttwe hv the heart ofe this, is we haven democrats and republicans, frankly, in congress who are failing at their most basic and foremost responsibility, f which is to ensure the safety, security and freedom ofth sec the american people. >> and thaurinout startsn't have with securing our border. we don't have a countr ay if we don't have a secure border. now, you talked about thise sena one point seven trillion dollar funding bill that the senate just passed in the housetet will pass very likely soon. well, there's there's about one point five billion therebilo that's been set asidn e for customs and border protection, border security. the problem is the language also says they're note bo actually allowed to use any of that money to securethey cities. the border.

they can't use it to expand so their security capabilities. so when you look at what they're actually doing, ultimately, they eithes you sary care, as you said, o tr they ars purely incompetent. either way , they're failing atd do t their jobs.he they need to step up to th jeob plate and do their job ober they need to be replaced. so it's fascinating., it's one thing to put it in without specifying what it should be used for, but they go out of their way to say, don't u use it forse security, don't touch that. se everyhe meantime, issue that we find atd at the border, tuls ti, relates to every major issue inwage the country, crime, the wagerobm inflproblem, the disease is health issues, inflation, the economy in general. thit's every housing issues, right. you've gotyou've people puttingl the migrants in hotels, ins.vets the homeless, in hotels, we'vein got veterans now still on the street, but wee think the american people don't realize what's happening at the border and reall linkey howt is linked to every single thingr that we're facing and whatmy,

american families are dealinasg with . >> and tammy , as you look, as you're listing out all of these challenges that that arect facing jusy acrosst about every community across this country. look, i served in the municipalh government. i was on the honolulu city council.onol i served in the statety legislature and in congress. the ghfor eight years.e told so often we are told in our communities, sorry, from the federal government, there's just not enough money. right. as we see inoneythey thi'rs oner seven trillion bill , they're spending hundreds of millions of dollars to secure their country's borders.r coun y they're spending an incredible amount of money to feed into industrialo complex, but not willing to do,u what is necessary to securee rih our own border and support the needs of the american people. there's a lot right here at hoh there's a lot to be done at the border. there's a lot that shoulthings be done at the border.na things like let's deploy more of the national guard that you're seeing on the screen right there to actually supplement and provide this immediate need teour boe need te our border, fissx this broken vh fr asylum process, send a messaged very clear both froman our elected leaders and thosthoe who want to serve in office o

to the world, saying from here on out, if anyone comes acrossi our border illegally, you will be immediately deported and you will not be allowed to reentertry, our country, perf to stop this this release of title forty two has been anppen incentive. so regardless of what happensriy with this point of of supre temporarily stoppingme from the supreme court, it's too late. this has been going on for months. and urge, wh enthis lead up. first and you remember when this first began, when biden first came in, they called i nt was it island? the new ellis >> do you remember that? i mean, that was an invitation over ever heard one . >> exactly. and they have the audacity over and over again to say, oh, no, you borders are are not open. we don't have open borders. are facing you look at the proof and you rt look at the crisis that we are facing at the border right now. as you mentioned, people literally thousands of people crossing our over our waiting for this court supreme court hod on title. forty two to be lifted icipation

anticipation that they will be able to walk straight through without any repercy's be repercussions whatsoever, because that's exactly what's been happening. yeahing.ave to, and the money, e to say thank you so much fore joining us tonight. the little bit of money thatndia they're sending. s it's like we're turning intong a big travel agency because it's about facilitatingthe in their entry and then distributing them into the interior of the country. tulsi, great job. great to see you.w republican now, a new republican house majority does, in fact, taked b power inre january , and border. security really ought to be a top priority. obviously,n what here to explait republicans can actually get done in a new congress, florida congressman byron donal's and michael waltz. congressman, let me let me start with you. you heard my conversation with tulsi join . . we do know what's going on at the border. i'm still concerned that sever the majority of the americans maybe don't realizite the severity of what's happening at the border. they keep getting gas lits li by biden and karine jean-pierre ,who says the border is closed . no, it's not.

and this is a dramatic having i a dramatic impact on every american's lives.s life so what can in january , whatrel will the republicans doic considering what's happened whwith now the the spending? bill ? s on tap here?what c, what can we expect, sir?f all, well, first of all, it's good to be with you. merry christmas to everybody. e youri share your concerns beci it's not just the administration. not it is the big media that has conditioned the american people not understand the complexities of what's happening at the border. . thayou couple that with the se deal , which was passed wi basically with a wink and a notd allowing this program to continue. houso coe republican are going to be hamstrung by this spending bill because whate po the leverage points to actually require the biden administrationino to actually br secure the border. a couple of things that can be done. number one , give border agents the ability to make credible threats of fear at the border. at number two, don't allow peopler. wi make asylum claims at the southern border. if you do those two things that

will actually limit the capabilities of people me is to comeug cartel into the united states . but it's not a good situation y inou part media and yes, senate depublicans then passing this omnibus deal with the democrats have really put us behindmout bet ball about what to do with border security. >> well, you know, congressmantr watts, this is where youea dots have to get creative. all you know, we see the the democra tem cre all the time being verydi creative. you got to give theme ways some credit for that. there's got to be waysother to achieve certain things usinpd other parts ofs the budget, do using other kinds ofenin legislation. whatg you see happening starting in january ? well, i agree with everything we need totive donald said, but i think we need to take things even a step further. it aeed to designate these cartels that are behind all of it as a terrorist organization or a terrorist like organize a good idea. we need to put sanctions in these companies that we know are producing fentanyl as part of their asymmetric warfare

to kilr asingll americans workig with international criminal organizations.rking with the mexica including the mexican cartels.t. so that's step two. and then youonally a personallya member of the armed servicese committee and as a veteranne, we need to be using military assets. i'm not talking boots an the ground, but cyber space assets and otherd things that e can be doing to jam the cartels ,disrupt their organization, su go after their moneyt and shut them down. we did it years ago to the cartels in colombia and we canno do it again if we have the willr and finally, tami, there is going to be a north american leader summiamericant on januarh and 10th with trudeau, biden and president obrador. that is an opportunity right t d there to put mexico on notice that they need to put o their national guard on their stophern border, stop shipping these migrants through to create our problem and that i 're going to put remain in mexico back in placedo.

i doubt we'r we going to see tht from biden, but all three will be sitting down. t trudeau's talking about electronic or electric vehicles icand climatles anave toe. sis. we have to talk about humanitarian crisis. jajanuary 9th and 10th, northmil american leader summit called the three amigos summilethret. v >> but we'll see.e dona and this is where foldr i representative, i mean, i think that this is an opportunity where if you're waiting for men like that to do something, it's useless. ca'ss , that hopeless that congs that house republicansn can hae some kind of an action or a delegation or a demand or some legislation on the heels of that, we're you know, there's got to be somethingw th creative to push this along.atf we kno w that the house of representatives of the united states government has powermy and the republicans have to wield it. we'll tammy, i'ma tell you the next big vehicle, in c my view, that's going to comeome acrossbt might be the debt ceiling. that might be the next big one . whatevwhatever that leverage is,

whatever that lever is in congress, we need to make sure e that we make border security and so for, yo the number one thing that'ssi on the agenda. and so for my colleagues th side of the aislee th who now all of a sudden want to start talking about n the border becauseow the midterm elections are now or are now over, i asked them where have you been? where were you in august,e september and october?is not the issue. r say,ation policy, pe is not the issue. it is about securing the border, and where my colleague is absolutely correct. the drug cartels are going to make 15 billion dollars this year, trafficking people and fentanyl into the united states of america. it is unconscionable.t stand wi and we must stanth wd whatever h lever is . we need to use it to make sure e we securs.e the homeland here ie the united states . >> you know, gentlemen, republthe american people gave e the republicans the house of representatives for a reason. they want to see something happen. this is a test.hard this r is not a hard test.w right. we just need to implement and the law as it stands and fund

the ability for the border patrol and law enforcement in general to do their jobs, gentlemen. congressman, thank you veryw bie much for joining me tonight. now, biden'sn' extremes em immigration agenda is emboldening bad actors across the border. d cart human smugglers, as you've heard, traffickers and cartelsis are as active as everpo and taking advantage of the left wing open borderslicysy policy. so ask yourself, will democrats face any real political costsai? for their endless policy failures? a nt harris poll finds that 67% of voters think that biden's policies haveegal encouraged illegal immigration and seventy nine percent want to keep title 40 to border protections in place. and one prominent biden voting businessman in south texas says the president's immigration failures are so egregious thatg he's one step away from becoming a republican. t >> take a lookhe. my goodness. they are screaming at the topto of their lungs.

they want the administration to pay attention thepresiden. we would love to see the president come down here to where the situation is actually happening live. i'm a democrat. i voted fom tor joe biden and im pleading with him to come down here and illustrate that hthe cares of the people of south texas there. everybody here, malfi, male, n n republican , democrat, every end of the spectrum here. i everybody agrees on one thing.dt weis is a crisis and we need attention from washington. >> we need action from our leaders. would you vote for him again? a , we'll see. e. but i got i got to tell you, th' the democrats are going to maken a republican out of me. >> well, that's pretty serious. of course, that's happening. to a lot of people these days.or here for reaction, pollsters mark penn and lee carter. so, mark, let me start with you, because that polleopl, is interesting in thatn the american people, even frankly,ankl through the midter, i think have been very steady. t and we kno lw that they don'tsoi like what's happening inlican. the country. they didn't necessarily hear s from the republicans

. and so there was this mixedd result. do youresult. find that that's a the case in this particular poll about what the american mepeople they' want? anythi and now they're just kind of waiting to see if anybody does anything about. n our harr well, in our harris poll this month, i think the findings on immigration were franklvastad devastating for the administration when the administration started, people thought that the that biden's policies were humanitarian. ime, today, they think that they arer promoting crime fenthion, increased problems iny 6% the country. but interestingly, only six tru percent of the public really knew the true dimension ofon the problem, that it was twon to three million migrants crossing the border. many people thought it 50, was fifty thousand one hundred thousand. so as this information gets out, the polling is going to be even worse. frankly, congress should act. 79% in our poll say the titlee e 42 shoultad be retained. >> you know, what's interestingo

is , is that's a great point from mark, is that even. it with six percent, you know, that's an awful number dt i've. it does mean what i've scale o presumed, which is that the majority of the american f itpeople don't even knowey'ren the scale of it. but even without knowing rig the scalht sis thae, they're ont side about what it is that needs to be done. and how it needs to be stopped, yeah, i thinedk there's no question about it. when you when you think about h the education problem that weg have in front of us . and let's be clear, republicanso have been talking abouw.trising immigration for years now. t 6 so it is somewhat surprising that only six percent of roblem americans understand the scaleo of the problem. i do alsthinooo thinkingk lookio biden's approval numbers on immigration, you see there's. only eight percent strongly approve of his immigration policy. that'se drop a huge drop since e he started. and that's a huge, significant gap from where he sits on hiss n regular approval ratings. so this is an area i think areac americans really want to see60% change.of a 60% of americans, though, domera believe that legal immigrationam makes america a better placeeri

they don't understand how badt things are right now, but rad they do want to seether some radical change. they know it's not working.d abu and t,i think that neither partu as you just talked about, really made the case thatause t hithey have the answers right now.a >> you know, mark, it's interesting because this is about a communicationpoll nu. biden's poll numbers are down so people know he's something's gone wrong. as you noted, he campaignedrn on being the empathetic, you know, the return to normal things and happiness and whatever it was that they were campaigning on .apse and suddenly, though, americans are seeing kind of a collapse along the line of all about the issues. and yet this one is abou childrt children. traffick it's about women.ou it's about sex trafficking. it's about the economy. it affects housing., employment, all of these issues. and we're not even into nextagee year yet. t do youha think that the big message here also is that the republicans need to communicate more about the values, the problem that the volume of this mess?

well, obviously,on the republicans failed ito really break throughissu on the issue in the midterms. i think the issue has really bubbled up now. i think the public is beginninro to get this broader story.ve but remember, most of the media. really wouldn't cover what's on the border. right.n to th didn'tresident and the vice want to credit the sto president refuseryd to go down i to the border because they didn't want to credit the story. advislook, when i advisedt pr the president we would meetk problems head on , i thinkd vice the president, the vice with president should go down, should recognize the problem and shouldyo deal with it. you know, if this president seriously wants to run for reelection, he can'ty leave this this border issuet is the way it is .. most mo people believe that the policy is nothing more than open borders a. , even and the public never supported open borders, even ithf they arl for a an immigration policy that has strict borders. buh sot treats people hereother. with some compassion and a path to to work permits and others. >> yeah, well, exactly. we aan, this is this has never weally been a debate.

the know we are a country of immigrants and we embrace that dynamic and the immigrants who come here legally. this is an affrontlegall to thos individuals as well. and we've seen the numbers off hispanic supporting republicans has skyrocketed on these kindsat of issues. would yoamu say with the recenti polling, of course, is that --t americans are getting a bit and i think we saw it duringerm the midterms, they're getting a betterg sense that that there's not compassionco happening, that this administration, in fact, is intolerant, lackss , a levelf compassion, not only foreo immigrants, but for ple, wthe american people.e isss and what we're going through, e. as well on the economy, on crime issues, et cetera,is there's no doubt about it.h i think parton of the problem the republicans have had, thoughcr, is that they focus so much on the criminals comingwhen over and not as much about p the huge problem. when people look at the bigger picture, when they hear how long it's taking for people to get asylutom to be heard,ockg sometimes up to six years, it's shocking to people, only 40 thrcent of americans understand

what's really going on .eyss tha i think they think it takessix o less than six months fornths fol . so the whole process is broken from beginning to end. so rather than demonizing some of the immigrants that are coming over, i think looking he at the whole problem is what americans want to hear aboutr, humanita because overall, it's a humanitarian crisis. it's a border crisis. border crisis.it's a security i. there's a drug issue. reali 60ze% of americans realize thato there's a huge drug trafficking. issue as a result of immigration. right. bu e can't just bt we can't just bt the the worst parts of it. we have to look at the whole thing. in and it's also would make a biges difference for those issues. ded thank you both for joining . all thosats, re issuesepub arei non partisan democrats, republicans, independents. we all carwee about them. thank you very much for joining me, mark and lee. coming up, w. e will bring youeeping the latest on the monster storm sweeping the u.s. and the major travel headaches major cog up. >> stay right there. you deserve that feeling here. relief you put in the work, whether you're training for a marathon or just living one . the power boost move fromer ren

"hann welcome back to this special edition of "hannity" at this als hour, a major winter storm is impacting almost the entire wonderful united states of america with temperatures falling well below freezing currently as far southas far sas dallas. coast and that same cold is expected n to reach all the way dowing.n to the gulf coast by the morning. so this, of course, is extremely dangerous. situation for tens of millions w of your fellow people.

out there. liveow our own fox weather meteorologist, kelly hostathis is live with the latest kelly .o that's right. be this is going to impact everyone. i mean, it's really going to bee hard to find people who do not feel some sort of impact if yo get the rain and you're getting the flash freeze, if you're getting the snow, you're also getting the extreme wind fre. gn it's really a worst case scenario here. the current winter weather alerts lit up the board all across the area. we got blizzard warnings, a winter storm warnings, winter crngs acroweather advisories, bt warnings across the northern plains, even the great lakes regionlakes res a little bit ha to see, but buffalone and watertown, new york are even included. and thos d warnine blizzard warnings,arn, remember, when it comes to blizzard warnings, it's less about the snow amount and more about the wind creating those whiteout conditions and making travel nearl y y impossible. here's another thing i'm worried about. yes, new york is getting the rain for the rest oft todayo also going to get this roundbehi heading into tomorrow. but behind we've got the arctic air for new york city. that means a flash freeze. all that rain on the road a is going to freeze right up, creating black ice. eve,'s going to happen friday

night heading into christmas eve. that's going to create a very treacherous condition on the roads. black ice is incredibly difficult to see on top of righ, fok ice isr the ohio river valley. you've got the raiw.n going on right now that eventuallyfree zeis going freeze on the grounds and then on top of that,e on the snow is going to coat that ice that's on the road.e that's making it even harderce to see the ice as if icee on is difficult enough to see on its own. and then let's talk about the lake effect. lake effect snow happens when you get a blast of arctic air over the lake. c air. we actually have a priore callin existing storm system, a low pressure system. so technically, we're calling this lake enhanced. but for areas of michigan,s a wl the great lakes as a whole,on they're going to be dealingsatud with lake effect snow throughoutay the day on friday,t saturday and into sunday because of that lake effect, t n these areas are going to be seeing feet of snow for talki the areangs not in the lake effect. you're just talking about a couple of inches. so it really dependsor on where' you are. notice new york is not expecting any accumulation. there is a chance maybe late tomorrow afternoon there could be a few flurries lying around,, not expecting any accumulation, tht it could just finishfinish a

one snow for the new york city area. but again, i'm more concerned t about the ice therop of e. and then on top of that, we have the wind. what happens when it's windy? you get tree branches, powerdon' lines. you lose power when temperatures are this cold, you don't want to lose power. wanto loseyou're lucky if your t is powered by a gas or woodd st stove. but ifove. powered by electrici this is going to be a problem. buffalo, 70 to 80 mile per houru wind gusts, that's comparable to hurricane strength. wind gustst. jor, maj. we're talking about major, major win, chicago, indianapolis, 30 t 3o 50 mile pr hour wind gusts. that does include all the way into new england as . back to you. well, kelly , that sounds like t an entire nightmare. it's. almost like god wants youu to stay home for christmas. i'm not quite sure. well, thank you, ma'am. appreciate a great job. now, we will have a report ame on how the storm is wreaking havoc on american's travel plans in just a moment. you don't want to miss that, to say the least. so let's switch gears now back to washington, which is also sort of a nightmare where hunter biden a night has p a top defense lawyer amid house republicans growing scrutiny ofs

the biden family's nefarious foreign dealings. rememberforeig, recently releasd internal documents from twitter show that the fbi was deeply involved in directing the techon platform on what to censor, , ha even warning of a , quote, hack and leak operation. operation involving hunter bidei despite the fact that the fbid e haadd already had the laptop for over 10 months, meaningof they knew that there was no hack and that it was real. ny of course, as usual, the fbi is refusing to take any responsibility for politicizing justice, saying in a statement, quote, the cours e bonds between o the fbi and twitter show nothing more than examplesou of our traditional long standing and ongoing federal government. feand private sector engagement, which involve numerousompa companies overniesov multiple ss th and industries, which, of course, does not make me happyh, . and then adding, though, i listn to this. it is unfortunate thatcons conspiracypira oth theorists ans are feeding the american publici misinformation with the sole purpose of attempting

to discredit the agency. now, that, of course,ls is they're reacting to their own emails revealed by the twitter files. so whatever right here with reaction. incoming chairman of the house oversight committee, james comar, and former us attorney brad tolman. representative colmer, i have to say, i love that you keep coming back because every nowly. and then i bite you gently. bun't leavt i don't i don't lear a mark. but i really appreciatepproac h hereyour honesty and your apph here, because we know thatjo you've got a big job ahead of you. th you've now seen the fbati clai l that the revealing of their own exchanges in their own emailss by their own agents is aa cons conspiracy theory. does this give you any sense ofw of, you know, encourage meantoug about their own honestyht with any kind of hearings you nv might be having? no, it's very disappointing to see the fbi continue in its. downward spiral. what they called misinformation wasinforma

s their own words. what we have revealed from wor the twitter dump is their own words, their own emails, notward to mention the whistleblowers have come forward and told us additional information that the public will be hearing very theo soon in what they call who they call conspiracy theorists. a and members of congress or conservatives in the media and members of congress. a so the fbi has a huge problem. it's only getting worse and their confidence level, not only among republicans in congress, but among the public is at an all time low. kn it is . and let me just suggest here with you and your background, i think the american people should be a little concerned that the federal law lawenfo enforcement agent, that we havev agency that we have decides it's knee. immediate reaction is not just to deny, but then to accuse people who have their information as being either i liars or conspiracy theorists. what does it say to you aboutmy the bureau itself at this point? >> tammy, thanks for having me m

on and i'm sure glad to see you. representative comar , and my t friend jim jordan are goingccout to be the ones at the helmabay to get some accountability and some transparency. what it really says is not surprising to me. the fbi and little you know, little known fact, tammy, is there was a big shift in the fbi after 9/11.n ag what wasency predominantly an agency that was working with state and locals to investigate and interdict drug crime and violent crime became immediately an agencyn it that started to turn its attention to more clandestine investigations, all in the guise of trying to protect america from terrorism. well, what le they do, they filledlyst their ranks with with computer analysts and with different types of agents than we've seen historically. whavindividuals that now have to justify their existence and what they do, they turned to more political and dmore partisan investigationsife justified by those at the tod br jim comey and others. so we're seeing the hind end ofo

a very bad pattern if n the fbi that many of coming yearsd, and years ago. >> yeah, and boy, it sure is a high end to end, isn't it? representative comber, we sawe a this starting with clapper clapp lying to congress about metadata and surveilling american citizens that seemed that was shocking in and of, bu itself. patrto bret's point, they seem to then use patriot act and this the mentality to think, that everything was was open, w that they could dot whatever they wanted inn the name of something else. is that somethinyourg that is oe your plate a bit when looking at the the culture itself inhe i the fbi and what it's become? >> absolutely.be we believe the fbi needs to bene reformed and it needs to start at the top. we need new leadership at the fbi, but we need to make reforms to the fbi. the fbi'heirs abuse, their fisa warrant ability. they have abused the confidencte ,the taxpayers, by creating a division of at least 80 people that do nothing butt

are essentially the social media police. and there's noch one providinget any checks and balances for what they term as disinformation, whay tet they term is disinformation may be what most americans termg thei as fact. so there's a lot of problems t with how they're spending, their money and how they're abusing their power. >> well, i tell you, gentlemen , we have to stay on it because clearly this is frighteningis r and should be frightening. y isto the american people, bece this really is just the tip of the iceberg. i mean, this is this is a comfort level. this agency has had on on things that they should have no business doing and is the antithesis of certainly ofge what this government and what oc onour constitution expects of them. thank you. thank you very much. congressman comar. and brad tollman, thank you very much. now turnind brg back to that mau winter storm , it is causings mu chaos across much of the country. i know many of youd be are worrr about it, as you should be . millions of americans areourse, trying to travel ahead o tfhe the christmas holiday. and , of course, this is one osf

the first one really where i think most of us feel comfortable going to family o and getting together. however, thousands of flights were delayed or canceledr canc . tad our own jeff paul is in los angeles with the latest. >> jeff. yeah, tambe and if you aren't traveling over the next few days, be thankful.will if you are, buckle up for what has been and what will continuee to be a very bumpy ride.e most of the headaches are all due to that so-called bombsa cyclone that's coming in. and the numbers truly say it.,00 all right. now, according to fly to where t more than two thousand flightsn in and out or within the u.s.d o have been canceledre and moree w than nine thousand are delayed,h the two worst airports seemlays to be chicago and denver.r ca but obviously, any delayncs or cancelations there at other flit airports impacted by the storm can impact flights throughout the entire country. >> and a little agitated, sweetie, trying to see if we can get to new york . it's not that we just have here flustered. >> we'rech trying to search

on our phones, figure out othern routes, maybe even taking a busn from here to atlanta, which it will take us aboutren't twenty one hours. >> and the roads are much better. bus companies, especially in the midwest, are warning travelerto es to expect delays r cancelations. and the same goes for rail services. well,like amtrak tammy.n fo >> well, jeff, paul , thank youn very much for that. da lot of stuff going on for people around christmastime and hanukkah here now. on, it's been a question on the minds of many americans a nesince the day joe biden took office. why work if you don't have to ?o a new analysis has the answer. a the committee to unleash prosperity has just publishede n a new report finding thatrt in 14 states around the country, a family with two unemployed parento s and two children can receive benefits that on an annualized basisis total total eighty thousand dollars a year orre more , plus health care.e yeah, and a major driver ofidize the payouts, obamacare subsidies, which have bee a personal pet project of

joe biden doled out first in the american rescue plan and then extended by the inflation reduction act. and we all know how that worked out. here now with reaction, our steve moore, the founder of the committee to unleash prosperity, and jessica tarlov, the co-host of the five. ur new steve , i havesl to tell you, i get your newsletter every day . it's a little scary, but it'shed got a lot of great information. and yot thingsu have the data at things like this. i think that we've all seenance boats, unemployment insurance, or for some reason people aret h comfortable not working. and it's because of coviard. a but those numbers are shocking when you're looking at eighty thousand dollars a year to not work. how does that how does that come out? yeah, well, merry christmas didt to tammy and jessica. he good to be with you as well. you know, we did this study, tammy, because we really wanted to find out exactly why itcount. is that there are so many jobgee openings throughout the country. you know, restaurants

get people back . our manufacturing sector workers.t have enough workers, construction crews, you know, you just see these hel wanp wane signs and you you talk to small businessmen and women and they say they're just havingou a reallyghe st tough time still to this day, getting the workers back .ck. we're abou t three or four million fewer workers today, tamm were in 2019 before covid. and so we started looking at these packages of benefits. and you're right, we looked at unemployment benefits and we looked at these obamacare subsidies. by the way, you can make and many states as much as two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and get subsidizedyou ca health care fromt the government. and so you'rsue exactly right that, you know, in about 20 states, you can make over seventy five thousand dollars of benefittss. and that's more than, for example, a nurse might make or a construction worker or a firefighter or a policeman oro a payroll accountant. so you hav te to really wonder whether this is fair or the people who are working thaty

a guy next door is making is not working, getting benefits and makin>> jesg more n they are. yeah, jessica, i know thaty is s is a problem that really is not about really republicans or democrats, because everybodys likes the dignity of work and having your own future that you complain nobod liky likes bn reliant on a brother in law or-l big government.g gove my mother had welfare. g i grew up in a generally poortrd environment and she was just destroyed by that system.e look and she and she worked retailt most of her life. what do yothisu say when we loot this and republicans perhaps complain about subsidies and that this is democrat planning and policies, and what do you say to democratss, i who think that this is fineparto and that people deserve this? >> that is that partf of your argument? you. well, first of all, thank you for having me. merry christmas to both of you. and i think that you're absolutely right that this isn't necessarily a democratic problem or a republican problems and that people all across the political spectrum do want to work. they enjoy the dignity of work

and that it's something that is important not only to their families, but for their own self. n selfth. worth. obviously, these numbers areal astronomical when you see them . and i found it reallyt inte interesting. see if that one followed itrest righing,we wt to see where we we going.y i do wonder, though, how many y cashin actually cashing inmany on all of these benefits together? how many people knew what steve knows essentially now, right. that you could get one hundred thousand dollars if you live in certain states , if you cash in on all of these benefitswould so i would say to democrats that,ae you know, there are reasonable i questions about extensions of certain benefits necessarily from the pandemi brac. we are in this brave new world now. but i would also caution peopler to use the terms that bring back the welfare queens oft of the 90s and to really a lot of people who are trying their best to work. there are a lot of people the who take benefits and also hold down a job. and to also pay attention to the fact and i brought this up earlier on the five, that con the child tax credit, which wasa allowed to expire by congress, i

was something that brought over 50% of kids who were in povertys out of poverty. it's gone a long way to alsoer address childhood hunger, that and republicans have no answer for that. >> yeah,. i and , you know, thit is it, steve , is that we've got a government that that seems to not be connected at all with real life, with real'r people. , the choices they're making,tha the inflation that's being caused and the lives that are destroyed. when you throw money at stuff, what do you say to that?t? mm-hmm. >> well, look, jessica, is right that this doesn't fit s all the people. she's making a good point. 1990ing.t here's the interesting thing. you knows,, whenhe you look at the nineteen nineties when wed o had a republican congress, newtr gingrich was running the houseac and you had a democratic president and bill clinton back the wn, tammy, we passedwod a landmark welfare reform bill tha - it's t really workedi so that's what we did.inton. anworked for that campaign. it's why i voted for clinton. hg exactly. and this was a huge success.e we moved half of the people who had been on welfare, out ofz

welfare, into work. wese became productive citizenen . we followe ecd what happened is, to those people. a lot of them clim nbumbe w the economic ladder. my point is , number one , we need to restore the work tammyincentives. r because you know what, tammy?st under obama and now under biden ,they've almost evisceratedmbert all the work requirements for these programs. number twowo make sure, we havee clu have to just make sure the benefits are not higher than we're middle class. discotpeople. the clearly, it's a disconnectcan. completely fromthe bo the washington swamp to the average american. both of you, thank you very much. something's got to change coodss the board nowar. t ahea straight ahead, are robots coming to replace food service workers? and this is right what we've been talking about. we'l us with joins the answer when this hannity special continues from the creator of the original up walker, the upright posture walker that has improved mobility and freedom for tens of thousands of people around the world. comes the all new up walker premium light. it includes all the benefits
