took part in today's senate hearing on the derailment. ♪ ♪ >> john: we began "america reports" with president biden impaling his 2024 budget. his stop in pennsylvania but the biggest takeaway $2 trillion in tax hikes for some americans. john roberts in washington, let me be the first to say, sandra, happy early friday. >> sandra: sandra smith in new york and that live event coming up here the president said this plan is about to say will tax the wealthy to help the middle class and protect entire entitlement programs like medicare appeared republicans are calling him out slamming the proposal saying more spending, x hikes and higher inflation at the worst economic time for this country. >> john: sandra will speak to california congressman ro khanna and brian brenberg, host of the big money show coming up.

but first, the correspondent peter doocy in philadelphia where the president is going to speak soon. a lot on the presidents plate, most of it taxes, peter. yes, john, president biden landed after a very, very short flight to philadelphia from joint base andrews. before he got here, the budget director is setting the table about this budget proposal. >> it strengthens medicare by solvency of the trump fund by 25 years. without cutting any benefits or raising cost of beneficiaries. and the reject benefit comes with social security. >> paid for in part with 25% minimum tax on billionaires and repeal of the trump tax cuts, which will set the top rate for single filers 49.6% and that would impact anyone making more than $400,000 per year.

progressives are saying, "they love this plan." >> we have a lot of places we can go on this. when it is the case jeff bezos is paying less in taxes than a boston public school teacher, then i guarantee, we have got room to go that we can collect money and use it to pay down the national debt. >> white house officials are claiming today they can reduce the deficit by $3 trillion in a decade, but $6.8 trillion plant is at $1.8 trillion to the deficit next year. it is going nowhere in the house. according to republicans in the house who plan to release a budget rebuttal eventually. >> we will analyze his budget, and then we will get to work on their budget. unfortunately, the president thinks so far delays us in this process. as soon as we can get it done. >> and so far, this event has

the feel of a presidential campaign stop here or there are hundreds of union workers who live in a swing state, pennsylvania but there is no campaign. this is an official white house event, and we will officially hear what president biden's priorities are for the next fiscal year, john. >> john: all right, peter doocy kicking us off at the white house, peter, thank you. >> our government built a cozy relationship with big tech. >> the republicans have brought in two elon musk public scribes to cherry pick out of context emails. >> they are here to tell their story. >> i am responding to your ridiculous statements that you made in your opening statement. >> let's get on with it. >> now we want to get on with it and you can say all you want. >> you have opening statement. >> sandra: that is so what we heard in that fiery hearing on capitol hill as lawmakers sparring over what critics say

is the weaponization of the federal government. the two journalist exposed internal documents with cozy relationship and the fbi testified how the government is overreaching and fundamentally, un-american ways. lucas tomlinson has more from the white house. lucas a public scribe of elon musk sounds harsh. >> probably should have kept rolling the tape. but you remember a decade ago, stone took on the big banks after receive that bailout money from the obama administration. today, tell you be said to quit or working together to suppress information. >> what we found in the files was a sweeping effort to reverse that promise and use machine learning and other tools to turn the internet into an instrument of censorship and social control. unfortunately, our own government appears to be playing a lead role. >> republican mike johnson praise the efforts of elon musk.

>> communication between twitter and the fbi was constant, it was pervasive. twitter was basically an fbi subsidiary before elon musk took it over. the twitter files revealed 2020, engaged in open information sharing with the intelligence community. >> as you heard up at the top many democrats did not agree. >> have you combed the so-called twitter files to look at other examples that aren't about the biden white house? >> we are focused not on the biden administration with a trump administration. we were looking at intelligence agency when we were doing the research. as i mentioned before, their conclusions targeted people both on the left and the right. >> debbie wasserman schultz accused benefiting from this transaction a charge he denied. >> sandra: lucas tomlinson live at the white house to kick things off.

john. >> john: sandra, according to media sources in mexico, authorities look into the possibility a notorious cartel boss could be behind the objection of four americans that left two dead. the latest highlight of the threat of the southern border from mexican cartels as u.s. lawmakers search the biden administration to take action. former attorney general bill barr is here, the author of "one damn thing after another." lindsey graham i suggested this yesterday, the solution to the cartel problem is to declare foreign terrorist organization and sick the u.s. military after them. here is what he said. >> isis were al qaeda in mexico that lobbed a rocket into texas would wipe them off of the planet. they are doing that times thousands. >> again, he is looking for the terrorist organization organization but general barr, it doesn't matter what you call

it. >> that is right. the issue isn't what you label them or designate them as peer the issue is how you actually deal with them or treat them here at about lindsey's bill proposal does not only designate but authorizes use of military force. but i do think just designating them by himself and being active with that really wouldn't do very much. >> sandra: the white house must be pushing back on the notion as well. this is karine jean-pierre on the designation. here is where they stand, listen. >> look, designating these cartels as if this would not grant any additional authorities that we don't really have at this time. so, the united states has powerful sanctions, authorities designated to combat narcotics traffic organization. >> sandra: you tell me what you think of that and whether that is the case, mr. attorney general. but clue our audience and appear they have been watching this unfold for not just for years

but decades with the cartel and at this moment, you are bringing a big light to this subject because it is getting worse and worse and killing so many americans in the country every day. who are these cartel members? >> there are tens of thousands of members. and there are some very large cartels, but they are also smaller cartels and essentially act as subcontractors for the larger cartels. they control large parts of mexico. they have completely intimidated the government because they either bribe people because they have oceans of money that they deal with, or they terrorize them, the judge x against them and the police officer does his job, their families could be wiped out and assassinated. so it is a terrible situation. this particular mexican government doesn't have the will to deal with it. i think they are content to

coexist and allow these cartels to operate against the united states. and we have to be realistic about the fact that this is going to take direct american involvement to deal with these cartels appear they can be destroyed. we destroyed the cartels in columbia when we did so in the early 1980s. >> john: this idea of going after them if u.s. military or designated foreign terrorist organizations has got some supporters. lindsey graham supports the use of literary support and dan crenshaw supports military force. ted cruz says things, but i don't think we need to use the military to invade our neighborhood country. dan crenshaw also had an interesting point about designating this foreign terrorist organization. he said that would trigger something that would make it even worse. listen to what he said. >> you don't want to designate them as that, why? because you made millions of people in mexico valiant silent

seekers. so you increased at the border if you call them terrorist. >> john: speak to that idea. if you say terrorist are living in mexico and the terrorists or terrorist organizations, then you give people a legal reason to come to the united states. >> i think just designating them, one, it doesn't give us that much more power. it gives us power to act directly against some of the leaders and the government for potentially colluding with the cartels. but congressman crenshaw is right. it allows the people to say, "welcome if they are terrorists and legitimate refugees, so we don't get anything." the real question and the only question is, how do we deal directly with these cartels? not what we call them, what we do with them. and there is no solution other than using all of the tools we have trying to prosecute your

wacom indicting whoever these recently. that will not solve the problem. >> john: what will? >> destroying the cartels using every tool, intelligence, military operations, drones, to collect intelligence and act against them. yes, using the mexicans willing to help through vetted units that we know are safe and we can trust information with. and you can do it in a very precise operation. the specter that this is invading mexico is irregular. no one is talking about taking over the country. we are able operating accounts groups like this such as isis to be more precise and use limited military resources to buttress the other access that we have. but that is what it will take. >> sandra: we are talking a lot about what we do with the cartels in mexico. but you can put up the map to

show how they infiltrated the united states, mr. attorney general. america people see this happening and they know this is happening. they know there is huge transfers of money and huge networks of money right here in the united states. what are we doing to make sure that this doesn't continue to grow and spread? >> well, you're absolutely right. not only the safe havens but the fact that they have these safe havens in mexico means that they are able to sit back and do this and expand. then they have taken over the border. they control the border. now they are moving into different areas of the country. they are using gangs that are appear to do some of their dirty work. i'm concerned that they start using the same terrorist tactics that they use in mexico. there was that family wiped out in california. a lovely little kid. so, there is no solution other than acting against the

terrorists. that is the head of the snake. >> john: let me ask you, general barr come about the hearing that wrapped up in congress. the first hearing of the select committee of the weaponization of government. and there was this exchange between elise stefanik and the fbi director over the fbi's involvement with twitter over the hunter biden laptop story. listen. >> where you are aware of the fbi's personnel were in contact with twitter regarding the hunter biden laptops were a question mark >> i don't believe the fbi were in contact with twe hunter laptop story specifically. there were people in contact with russian disinformation efforts. >> where you are where the fbi had hunter biden's laptop since 2019? >> i can't speak to exactly when we had the laptop. >> this stonewalling, director chris wray, the american people deserve answers and this is unacceptable. >> john: so there is this

issue about plausible deniability. the fbi might not mention hunter biden with the laptop but to the degree that even mark zuckerberg, the head of facebook said, "when the hunter biden laptop story came around, this is what the fbi is talking about." >> a little dubious about that. i was there at the time as attorney general. there was approach will make a lot of pressure on the fbi to make sure there was no foreign e in the election. and as far as i was aware, they were giving general briefings to different groups to say we will be on the guard for foreign activity like the bots used in 2016. and i don't know. i think we have to look at exactly what those briefings were and what was being said to those companies. because if they were saying, you know, things like the hunter laptop were getting too

particular about the kind of things they were looking for, that might cross the line in my opinion. now, did mark zuckerberg, was facebook being good citizens into doing what the fbi said? my guess is like every other company, they received general briefings. then, when they were caught doing what they did, they are hiding behind the general. we thought that we were just responding to this general briefing. but this is going to be fact specific and i think you have to find out exactly. >> sandra: this is really serious allegations. the weaponization of the federal government. it doesn't look like things are turning around anytime soon, attorney general. >> the whole idea of the government should encourage to take out stuff that is false, that is a violation of the first amendment. the first amendment actually protects false speech. and for the idea that the government goes and encourages

companies to exclude that stop, to me is a direct violation of the first amendment. i would like to see some litigation against the government for that kind of stuff in the future. that is misconduct. and i think we have to address these companies through section 230 reform, the feeling -- it's one thing to take something away if it is illegal, like pornography but just because you think something is wrong. >> john: this morning, he believes that is where the so-called censorship of industrial complexes. you don't have to be a threat. you just have to be wrong in their eyes. because some of the stuff that was wrong in their eyes turned out to be right. >> but most of the important stuff turned out to be right. that eviscerates the first amendment. >> john: general barr come always good to spend time with you. >> sa>> sandra: thank you so mu.

what do you believe china's military ambitions are at this point? how far are they willing to go, congressman? >> i think we have to take the threat seriously. i led a bipartisan delegation and even though amphibious landing in taiwan is difficult, they could also do a blockade around taiwan to prevent energy from getting into taiwan. they have done that in the past for a day or two if they did that two or three weeks, it would be concerning. my concern is the coercion to apply in taiwan and not just natural invasion. >> congressman of select committee you see the threats involving china and how wants to dominate the world economic lead momentarily at some point in the future. this is described as an existential threat by some people high up in the government where the military purity is the biden administration, is president biden doing enough to meet this threat? >> you know, the good news is we

actually had a meeting, bipartisan meeting with speaker mccarthy in his office and trying to select committee is one committee i want to be bipartisan. wayne we are unified as a country, that is when the ccp has the broadest concern. i think in a bipartisan way there are two things we can do, number one, beefing up taiwan's defense and that is something they want and then bringing back manufacturing. a deficit with china and too many jobs there need to be rebalanced in manufacturing. >> john: congressman, i'm sorry, i noticed you strategically ducked my question. is the biden administration doing enough to meet this threat? >> i do think so. i think the china committee has been very careful not to criticize the president. if you watch the first hearing, they are doing things like beefing up our bases and the philippines. they are working to help expedite the defense to taiwan.

they are helping the manufacturing. are there more things we should be doing as a country? absolutely! but i think it is important to stand behind the commander-in-chief on this. >> sandra: a a lot of people on committees and a lot of talk but we want to see more action because they see china moving in. i want to transition to what we are about to hear from president biden. he is about to unveil his budget and $2 trillion on taxes for the american people. why pick this fight with republicans in this moment? when he's not picking a fight with republicans, he is angering democrats because he's launching a new tax band plan in the middle of an economic crisis in this country with two-thirds of the american people living paycheck to paycheck. you have sky high inflation that the federal reserve is looking to tame. congressman, why do this now? >> i think we have to have basic

math. here are the choices, either you can protect social security and medicare. you know, president trump said we shouldn't have cuts on there. to do that, you have to raise taxes on the wealthy. you can have the numbers work or you can go the way paul ryan wants, which is to raise the retirement age, cut benefits. >> sandra: are you so sure this only affects the wealthy? >> i am. if you look at the president's tax proposal but my question for republicans as this, what way are they going to go? the way of paul ryan and his numbers add up and cuts on social security and raise the retirement age? i disagree with that or no, we can't make these cuts and they have to raise taxes. there are only 1 of 3 options. i support the idea the wealthy have to pay more taxes. if you don't support that, what are you for? >> john: congressman, i have talked to a few people in congress who will privately acknowledge only way to get deficits and debt under control

and to stop this explosion between, beyond the dead, is to reform social security, medicare and medicaid. no political party wants to take the lead on that because flawed by the other. you say that you believe the solution to this is by raising revenues. is there no room for reform in any of these programs? >> i believe you can have social security totally solvent, protected if indefinite future if you scrap the cap and tax income beyond 60,004 social security. that would pay for social security to be solvent. that is the reform we need. >> sandra: i just think a time sky high inflation, we've got a go but congressman, what caused the four decade high inflation? was it spending or not? >> i think it is multiple

factors. one, we were not producing enough in america. two bipartisan under trump and biden. we spent a lot but we needed that in part to get out of recession. we should be proud of the american economy did better than any other economy in the world. we didn't have the unemployment you see in europe. but now we need to work to lower food prices. one of the things we should do is go after monopoly producers. look, it is a hard job because one day a recession and inflation to hide. >> sandra: it didn't have to be that way though. congressman, thank you for being here. >> think you come appreciated. >> john: thanks, congressman. a barrage of questions from senators after disastrous train derailment in east palestine, ohio, but republicans say he's not the only one whose feet need to be held to the fire. will transportation secretary pete buttigieg be held accountable? newt gingrich weighs in on that and he is coming up next. ♪ ♪

system." there appears to be a real disconnect between pete buttigieg and the job. >> well, i think buttigieg is the perfect example of setting up some kind of programs that says, we don't care how competent you are but we care if you fix a box we have created. he happened to be perfect for biden administration because he was the kind of person represented the gay community. it's not about his sexual orientation but competence. the department of transportation is an operating department. the airplanes have to fly. the trains have to move. the roads have to be built. and the ports have to operate. what you have is a secretary of transportation whose peak experience was the part time they a small town. he has no possible ability to

manage this huge complex program. he proved it in the last few months when he didn't know how to respond to the problems that happened with one airline. he did know how to respond the entire air traffic control system was closed down for the first time since 9/11. literally everybody in the country grounded. he didn't know how to respond when we had a train wreck in a small town with a chemical fire. how many times in baseball, that is three strikes. but how many times do you have to watch him to realize buttigieg is a p.r. agent anna goes around applies here and there and makes speeches occasionally. but he doesn't have a clue how to run the department of transportation. for example, i was surprised to learn from him that there are thousand derailments a year. well, if that is true, the program to dramatically reduce that and make it easier and

they don't care whether or not if you are a competent doctor. they care if you fit a profile. if you fit the profile no matter how incompetent you are, they will want to have you on their class. if you are competent but you don't fit the profile, they don't want to have you in your class. that will be the not-too-distant future, we will have doctors that don't know what they are doing. we have the secretary of transportation that doesn't know what he's doing. if the biden administration was serious about the safety of the american people and safety about the competency of the transportation system -- buttigiegwould be gone this eve. the presidency protected by standards that have no place in trying to run the government. >> john: beak are good and newt gingrich, we appreciate it. >> thank you. we will have more of the train derailment with senator lindsey graham who was in the hearing.
