[laughter] eric: just the thought of it is frightening. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> hello everyone. welcome to the biggest saturday show. i am anita vogel along with tammy bruce, charlie hurt and guy benson by the big story tonight we officially have a speaker of the house. yay. after a lot of back room deals and a record 15 rounds of voting just after midnight, kevin mccarthy won the speakership, listen. >> the honorable kevin mccarthy

of the state of california has received a majority of the votes cast, is duly elected speaker of the house of representatives. [cheering] [applause] >> alright here's how the vote finally broke down. mccarthy with 216, hakeem jeffries got 212. and six voted present which help mccarthy clinch the gavel by reducing the number of votes he needed for the majority. ♪ usa too. >> in the great state of california and the next speaker of the 118th congress, kevin mccarthy. hooks ultimately the past several days were about negotiations. mccarthy agreed to a range of things. from only one lawmaker needed to propose a new speaker be put in place, to voting on term limits. in a speech on the house floor he shared his vision for uniting the legislative body.

>> my father always told me, it's not how you start, it is how you finish. the hard work begins for it may not know all of you, some of you are new. but i hope one thing is clear after this week. i never give up. >> no he doesn't ever give up. i want to take out the table wish everyone a new year. it's great to beat with the on this first big saturday show of the new year. okay, some exciting news over the past week for any political junkie but i want to put up on the screen first are the lift of things kevin mccarthy agreed to. if we could put that list up first. first of all, again one lawmaker can make that motion to elect a new speaker. votes on term limits, both on a budget resolution that balances the budget in 10 years, not to increase the debt limit without spending cuts. not to bring a bill to the floor in the 72 hours have passed.

and his seats on a rules committee for house freedom caucus members. okay, and i am going to go to you first. i know you were up late watching this for you had your popcorn break. >> my big friday night. my hope tell room tilt money and watching this. >> maybe a glass of wine i don't know. the items the house freedom caucus wanted the in the end they got. are these fringe right-wing ideas or are these good ideas for the american people? guy: i think a good idea some could cause havoc down the road. the mccarthy team had their first job right in front of them we cannot do anything literally anything until the gavel is in someone's hands. they would mccarthy he got after his moderate record of 15 rounds of voting. now, really the harder part begins. because we just watch as fractious rebel can conference take four days to get a speaker in place when there are big-ticket pieces of legislation we now know it takes five lawmakers from any coalition and

house of representatives particular on the republican side to stay tuned know we not want this to happen. we will see. i think some of that chaos could actually be useful ovears. some of that may not. in a think with the republicans are going to have to do over these next 24 months or so is take a page of the democrats playbook of the last two years saying ultimately if we stick together we can get things done. if we don't, then we will see some repeats of the last four days. which occasionally might be appropriate but i don't think voters want to see it too often. anita: it is amazing how 20 people can hold up this whole process, right? whether you are. >> five people. anita: five people to do seem to watch fred i read where nancy plus using a couple days ago g, many kevin mccarthy's wanting to psychiatrist or doctor to deal with that she could not understand how this was happening. i did not think those were very productive comments there is sort of petty and nasty. but anyway, charlie i want to go

to you. let's hear from kevin mccarthy from the floor. he's talking about moving forward and what the agenda will be, let's listen to that. >> when we come back, our very first bill will repeal the funding for 87000. [cheering] [applause] [inaudible] [cheering] [applause] you see, we believe government be to help you not go after you. [applause] we also pledge to bring congress to the people. because answers have not and will not always be found in washington. [applause] that is why one of our very first hearings will be held on the southern border. anita: they go speaker kevin

mccarthy talking to his agenda moving forward, listing some of the things he would like to do. he talked about addressing the border crisis first. he also has talked about investing in the origins of covid. investigating hunter biden and whether his business dealings involved his father and what exactly were the business dealings with china? those kinds of things. so charlie, are those things the american public voted on? that's what they want from these lawmakers and do they really care about what happened over the last week? is that important to see or is the big picture jennifer them? guy: i was like most about not paying attention to this nearly as closely as those of us in this business do. but the big picture i think, it was going to be tougher kevin mccarthy whether he got this done on monday or got it done on friday. it may be the one thing i might agree with nancy pelosi on his you definitely need a psychiatrist if you are going to be the republican leader with a

85 person majority in the house but it is a hard job under any circumstance. but to me, whether or not you think those particular giveaways are important or not, the most important thing about this is republicans, with the rebel holdouts planted the flag for fiscal responsibility. and made the argument that we are going to be fiscally responsible. and i hope they stick to that flag and carried on through. talking about things like 87000 irs agent is a very unifying thing. voters of every stripe care about that thing. if they could use this, everyone in washington but is a debacle, i thought was wonderful. thomas jefferson, james mattis would've recognized this debate is what they would have int intended. if republicans can take this and use this to define the 2024 election and make it about fiscal responsibility, congress cannot balance its budget while you are suffering at home.

tammy: your absolute right. i think his surprises and most even gop base that this was not already the case. that this is something they had a fight over about seeing the bill for three days. that we are going to balance the budget, when did that become something that couldn't be a ranger had not already been arranged or could not have been arranged in that lead up even to the midterms knowing you are likely going to get the house. it's like everybody was shocked this was going to be an issue and were unprepared. that is what matters to the american people. especially gop base was this sense that nobody knew what was coming. and that worries us because the plate is full. i would also argued the omnibus bill passing in the senate perhaps made more people the freedom caucus especially concerned because that tied the hands of the house. and so suddenly there are things i had to get done in public and a certain sense about what was

acceptable. then this tells you they figured kevin mccarthy would not agree to those basic things. but mostly a church light committee, special committee to investigate the government involvement with big tech, why was that a fight? why did that need to happen in this manner? those are the things a gop base need to be concerned about. and the republicans now must somehow telegraphed or message that we have got our act together. we know what you want. this is not a dividing point within our caucus sprayed the basic things that should have arty been in place. anita: but tammy had to admit over the past few days this did not look pretty. it was pretty ugly. >> it did not have good messaging in the midst of it. anita: the democrats and media critics had a field day over this, let's listen to some of their comments. >> if they cannot do something as simple as choose among themselves someone to sit and hold the gavel, how on earth do we expect them to take on far more complicated issues?

>> this shows a continuing chaos, confusion crisis of the republican caucus. >> this would never have happened under nancy pelosi. >> at this point he's probably going to show republican caucuses with a trey serving drinks. [laughter] anita: guy and want to go with you on this but it would not have happened under nancy plus you have to admit that. >> yes because the democrats i think that their act together and realized with such a slim majority is exact same size majority just in reverse for two years. the republicans created some chaos with motions to recommit. in a policy lowered the boom early and i guess the start of the new congress, 2019 and she said i guess it would've been 2020 whatever year that was. she said we cannot allow this to happen but we have to stick together. we have to vote against whatever the republicans are trying to do braid there are some lessons there. overall to tammy's point i think what house republicans need to do over these next few years is been the eyes of average normal voters responsive and more

functional than what we have seen so far. but, they got their freight is not the end of the world is not a crisis. now let's see if they can do. >> the democrats delivered their public as he did love her as well but. >> at the end of the day this is democracy. this is a democracy they keep talking about. it was going on under republicans. >> it got there on friday night before the weekend. so yay for them. moving on now, next, after about 16790 days of politics president biden is finally going to the border, i cannot believe it. he will actually witness the mess the open border policy has created. what is his real reason for stopping there? the white house makes a surprising admission when "the big saturday show" returns, stick with this. ♪ ♪ my name is austin james. as a musician living with diabetes,

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> welcome back to "the big saturday show" i am tammy bruce. resident biden spent 46 years in

politics. forty-six years you guys, and only once has he been to the border, will sort up or the "washington post" reported he quotes drove past the border while campaigning in 2008. [laughter] that is white tomorrow will be monumental and biden actually visits el paso or will it? we can get into that in a minute. the white house just admitted the real reason why biden is going to the border, watch this. >> i just want to clarify, why make the trip now not six months ago not a year ago? what sort clearly heading to mexico city. it made sense to go to make a stop to see what border enforcement operations were like and meet those local officials who have been impacted. tammy: that's special that's why you stop at the five guises on the way to a you are really going it doesn't really matter. >> if one can refuel? >> i think they can but it's a very interesting reason but

considering i think that says a number of different things we will start with you. what this really means about what is happening at the white house but yes, the going by so stop by. but could this indicate he is actually seriously thinking about running again in 24? that this is something they has recognized this has to be addressed and dealt with. but secondarily el paso has been cleaned up. it's not going to really be seeing what is happening at the border. it's going to be like a village it's this upfront and then you're going to see it finally they'll be coverage this is a wonderful, it's like disneyland and it really will be what is your take? anita: my take is other networks are spineless or to cover this and ask him about this but has become an issue with the white house because it's not just fox news now that is asking. it's msnbc, its couple other places. they are recognizing this is something the white house needs to address. they have just completely ignored.

here's my question though, tammy, he isn't going there and he's going to meet with elected officials and community leaders. why isn't he meeting with border patrol agents? if this is a war when you go to a war zone to be at the soldiers. he should be meeting with border patrol agents. they have very low morale. i think it would do a lot, he would say a lot the commander-in-chief would go and greet them and talk to them. >> even in his remarks, charlie is a great point he did not even mention that. this seems to still be a way of dancing around the nature it's like we are going to pay attention to that thing but we are not going to really do anything that might reinforce the complaints or the reality or bring in conversations that might embarrass us or we don't have answers for. >> is a huge reversal. it is proof he thanks he's going to be running birds also recognition that even joe biden in his diminished state realizes this is a terrible issue for him which is why the white house very wisely picked this week to make the announcement of the

reversal will everybody's paying attention to what was going on in the house. but, the question i think asking up border patrol agent is an important question. is it joe biden going to go down to the board and then try to downplay the crisis and act like it's not really a big deal? but let us not forget the entire crisis he mentioned crisis going on at the border right now is entirely the fault of joe biden's executive orders undoing what his predecessor put in place to stop the crisis. >> guide we will those downplay primarily what everyone is in the present to an end it's got 8000 unvented strangers wandering around the town, that would be dangerous but it's dangerous also for the people of el paso and for the border patrol. and for everyone else was in the vicinity. so if you do, the secret service went what to move them out for there been complaints by the people of el paso and leadership they are, that they are changing the entire environment. it is completely false now. is that point of the part of the

point what they will look like a pristine different kind of situation? >> are at least somewhat sanitized. he said that his remarks this week biden really did not mention border patrol agents. i guess that is an improvement from smearing them which is what he did last year. i guess that is an improvement perhaps. i know a lot of republicans and commentators, perhaps some folks at the stable mom calling on the present to go to the border now for two years. i think it's important sent one hand it's good that he is finally going, he should see this. but your point is exactly right, what exactly is he going to see? i had tom on my radio show forming ice actor director. he's the president is going to witness is not really anything close to the level of dysfunction that the people in that area have now been experiencing for a long time. this could be a constructive visit by the president if he is willing to look and listen as opposed to check the box, photo up. let's see what happens but i'm

skeptical. tammy: and the minute we have here desantis is a bring up the national guard by the number of immigrants coming into the keys, florida. the president mentioned nicaragua, haiti and cuba that there's going to be this new plan, this new legal immigration plan for about 30,000. let's take a look do we have any video of that? alright, i don't think of got video of that. but at the same time wouldn't that invite even more people as an acknowledgment that we know you have got problems, come here anyway? >> to shift over the problem, right? the thing desantis is doing different from what the president is not doing, he is providing the local governments there with the resources to deal with this problem. he is giving them resources. i don't know that the presidency of the communities along the texas border any extra resources to deal with it. in a quick commit a lot of our correspondents are now but to

the border, bill, griff, and others i talked to matt finn the other days made them a number of times. he told me too see this in person is unbelievable. it is unbelievable humanitarian crisis, the present is a see that. tammy: we all do it sorely the president absolutely break coming up from crt to information literacy, new jersey schools will now teach students how to identify fake news. but who gets to decide what is disinformation? the warning for parents coming up next, stay right there. ♪

♪ ♪ welcome back to big saturday show. kids in new jersey about to get a lesson and disinformation for new jersey become the very first state to require public schools to teach quote media literacy k-12 students years wiper democratic governor phil murphy saying quote our democracy remains under sustained attack through the proliferation of disinformation is our responsibility to ensure our future leaders are equipped with the tools necessary to identify fact from fiction. on the surface it might sound a pretty good idea. who gets to decide what constitutes credible information? tammy, on that front that's most important question, who decides? just being in the last five or six years, often or at least more than occasionally the loudest to criers of suppose and misinformation are disinformation are themselves perhaps the most egregious despairs of in their own right. so that's the rub here, isn't it? tammy: if there's serious they can take the twitter files.

it's what opinions the government did not want to have heard. what ended up being true, what ended up being false. the things that were explained as disinformation or conspiracy theories actually in many cases were true. some or not. the combination of library media people and teachers are not going to look to elon musk or the twitter files or fox news as a difference between the news department versus opinion departments. or as an example what is covered here in what is not covered elsewhere. who is talking about what? that will not be at. this is i think a trojan horse to bring in more of a political approach to the nature of what kind of people you can trust. to use donald trump. she is the nature of arguments made by particular kinds of people. and i think that is what this is but it's going to be used as a

cloak to i guess educate or propagandize the dynamic when it comes to who you should be watching, reading and who you can trust. quickset is the concern that might be using their influence but the thumb on the scale in a political way, right? >> us all they have done progressive seen this over and over again. if this were to be implemented and shall we say a fair and balanced way they are elements of this anita, let's put them on the screen a few pieces of this curriculum i think relatively most people would agree on you can read through some of them there, ethical production of information. assessing facts and opinions, critical thinking. that is all great. the question is, is there a realistic way for this not to be politicized, anita? that i think is the number one question. anita: that's a great question and you are right it has been happening over the past five -- 10 years or more now. but i do think there are some

good elements in there as you mention. just look at the list right there, critical thinking. students do not do that anymore they are not taught to do that. they read something on the while or somewhere and they just believe it. so what is wrong with asking questions about or go do some research, find out if that's true. compare, contrast. in looking at the list i had zeroed in on critical thinking. so it looked it up to see what is the definition of critical thinking, just a few things ask questions, gather relevant information, think their solutions, and circumstances buried consider alternatives and systems of thought and communicate effectively. because house critical thinking not already part of the process? what does not charlie, kids today don't do it. spain i'm sure you're right but is shocking it's not for u.s. a good question, who decides? that is exactly the point. nobody in our country nobody decides these things. teachers, all these politicians are actors of the state in our country the government does not

monitor, does not regulate what people say, what people define what's true and what's not true. we figured out ourselves. >> is a potential worry here that if there is going to be a politicizing of this, maybe it is best not to go down this path? especially for younger kids. look at test scores dropping significantly during covid and beyond. maybe the solution is not to get into this intricacies but rather say it let's teach a basic civics and core competencies and start to try to catch up therapy corrects a beauty about teaching like great literature and things like that as you do get into wonderful things about critical thinking. and you get into these wonderful discussions were children have their minds and stuff like that by the idea you are going to have the state telling them this is how you read this. it is not critical thinking is indoctrination. >> it's they know this is coming up for the exit they know there's going to be scrutiny and there has been.

i think they want to set you do not need to be doing this we are already teaching about how to sync. >> maybe they could put tammy bruce on the committee that helped design the curricula and see how that goes. susan was on desantis create a commute in florida. >> to eat their lunch on education exactly this request will leave it there for now but meanwhile set time of the year, put your christmas tree decorations back in the attic print maybe toss the tree itself off to the curb. what if you are an environmentalist? there is a movement to eat your christmas tree, delay read that right? eat your christmas tree to save the planet. i am mystified and will discover what that means together, next. okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. together we support immune function.

that is what i said folks, just eat it. in fact there is a book on this called how to eat your christmas tree. don't believe they were going to put up right now so you can see it pretty can put on your christmas list for next year, there it is how to eat your christmas tree. they say it further trees can used in ice cream, typical vegetables, to flavor gin. even a michelin star chefs for the ritz-carlton are using the needles and the drinks. tammy, i mean do you see yourself doing a thing like this? >> no bracing myself on television speaking against it. i also not there things like time magazine has humans eating insect help save the planet. they are miserable, the left is a miserable and they want everyone else to be miserable. do not do this. if you want to eat a tree, get some broccoli, pretend to read pretend you're eating a little tree. nature has provided us with the things we need as human beings. insects actually have a role to play in nature itself.

every single living creature has a role to play. and how dare we decide they are going to be. question at the same with trees. if we would let nature do its thing we would all be better o off. eating this is not normal, it is not natural. you talk about problems with hospitals and pandemics, who knows what would happen if you start eating things that are really not for you. >> it could be problematically bricked i think you time against it also gives the bugs. there is enough we can do are going to be fine paid the left wants to destroy us and this is part of the process. >> is of the comments in the guardian writes about this for they say instead of sending their pine, for, and spruce trees for recycling or replanting, growing numbers of eco- conscious households are trying to make the most of them by eating various parts before throwing them out for it for trees can be as an ice cream as i mentioned, typical vegetables and even flavor gin. why, why it fix what's not broken? i do not know.

i like ice cream the way it's flavored right now. how much is this really going to help the environment? >> i think the replanting option. they did get my attention i was a blowing this whole thing off unlike what did you say about flavoring gin? [laughter] like christmas flavored gin i might have to do some scientific research and that perhaps and report back. >> alright, right you do that. >> you want us to be prepared for horrible economy where we have to eat a tree. >> quick before asked you guys was availed pretty fun. >> are big believers in burning the christmas trees that are really fond of her in. i have to say i think my mother was on the cutting-edge of this. when i first moved away from home and was living alone in detroit, she would sending christmas -- like i was a new guy had to work at christmas. she would send me a christmas tree that saw the root ball on the bottom of it and it be complete decorated. i would celebrate christmas in my little apartment there around a christmas tree and you could replant it. i think she is cutting edge

tree. >> you burn christmas trees for fun? >> are you kidding me? you build a giant pirate and burn. we go up and down the street collecting other people's christmas trees in order to pile them up. >> the things we learn about each other i tell you. >> light on television. >> the climate activists have another idea that if you do not want to eat your christmas tree that you can choose a partner that is short but listen to this in your times. she says there's never been a better time to be short. these shorts are also inherent conservationist which is more crucial than ever in this world of 8 billion, short people don't just save resources, but as resources become scarce or because of the earth's growing population global warming, they may also be best suited for long term survival. when you make with shorter people you are potentially save the planet by shrinking the needs of subsequent generations. okay, if you don't burn the tree

choose a short partner. >> there is no height when you're horizontal. so i don't know what they are talking about. it is true. it is perplexing, isn't it? i do not even know what to say about that. it really goes into the weirdness of identity politics. >> we said earlier is exactly right. these people hate humans. >> they are miserable. >> they are miserable they would everybody else to be miserable and smell bad pick lexus on his height challenged we should all be talking about them how's they are going to be useful people for us at some point or another. >> guy, quickly which are not high chance was your tall are you ruining the environment? >> i'm 6 feet tall and my killing the planet? would love a short king around here. i'm going to say that for myself. how does this column get green light? what is that? artistic great question. >> were talked about this. >> bad incentives.

these trends could be causing harm nyu professor tells wall street journal genz is too fragile saying quote when you look at america's born after 1995, you find us have extraordinarily high rates of anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicide and fragility. there is never been a generation this depressed, anxious and fragile. and i concur with all that. gaia, as the closest to genz, do you find this to be true? >> the genz years would say don't dissociate us with a millennial which is what i am. i think there is some truth to this. i think of the past multiple generations we raised a tough and uptight mentality but especially older generations, maybe to a fault. the concern is it's been an overcorrection in the other direction with younger people right now. a lot of us not their fault or necessarily anyone specifically their fault. i really do think social media plays an enormous role in this.

not to be like a fuddy-duddy about it, we are all addicted to our phones to one extent or another. these kids have never not it's like an appendage for them. i am glad like facebook started when i was a freshman in college. so i was able to develop my own identity without the sometime pernicious thing constantly ubiquitous in my life. and for people who are whatever 10 -- 25 or so they never had that. i do not envy that. >> edition is one thing is really bad i know that for my own experience. but it taken a step further you get into this thing or people think it is reality and they get on social media. they think this is the real world. >> it becomes a reality that's wasting these effects on their psyche. >> you get into the stuff like suicides and things like that. i especially like with, what do you do? >> it is a good question for it is hard to keep your child away

from the stuff because it permeates everything now. it is how you get invited to parties. and that is the other thing if you are not invited to the party you know about it, everybody knows about it for it wasn't like that we grew up. that is what causes the stress of this anxiety and these teens being so fragile. if you think about it the upper edge of this age group 11 -- 25 the kids that are in the early 20s they do not like to be challenged either. you cannot have an argument with them. >> there in their safe space. >> if you challenge them it is scary for them. they make then a moral judgment on you also if you do not on the same opinion they have it. this all comes from social media. >> those are elements of what has created an environment as we discussed political correctness, identity politics, what has happened with schools for the nature of keeping things away from parents. you can have an isolated life through technology, the use of psychotropics.
