october. we do not know who is internation brickwork for spring and former border patrol chief and former acting ice director. ron, thank you for being here appreciate if you let start off on the notion of the issue of the terror watch list. we'll pull the numbers for our viewers 169 people that were on the terror watch list were encountered in the fiscal year 2023. so far in this fiscal year were starting in october, that number is 30 those are the people that were encountered we do not know how many on the terror watch list slipped in. explosive devices cutting the border while it seems they are more brazen about what they are doing there are more people coming in. what do you make of the threat that this nation faces going into 2024 from the border? >> thank you for inviting me. this is a good example of the threat that is in the mix.

all these people on the terror watch list and what we know it nowgiven the conditions are at e border the borders are in control we cannot have a better president than joe biden if you are in the taliban or if you are eight mexican drug cartel or you you are a proxy of iran or iran itself. the threat that is in the midst exist every single day the point that you make the what had 70 people that were encountered by cbp were also on the terror watch list. we know there's over a million people in the last couple of yes the border patrol because nona got a ways in which means they saw people cross the border were not able to apprehend them on every single number is off the charts. they criminally involved the border patrol is catching the people on the chart watchlist are being cut by the border patrol the number of god a ways all off the charts because this president refuses to do his duty to protect the united states that threat does not stay in eagle pass it does not state and

yuma places like where i work for it goes all over the country most people are going to find a place to live all over the united states with coming soon to a neighborhood near you that threat exists but we are in a proxy war and europe we are in a proxy war in the middle east we where the cold war with china. we don't think those proxy elements or governments are taking advantage of what's happening on the southwest port you are kidding yourself. this administration the democrats in the house and the house refused to do anything about it. >> there is a bill they are discussing in the senate will see what they come up with in the house is going to have to decide on whether they're going to adopt that. we'll see what happens in january pe people pulp the numbs again there so many numbers your eyes can glaze over these are record-breaking numbers. 214,000 migrant encou encountero far this december is on track breaking to be the highest december on record. 11000 encounters on thursday alone paid 79000 known got a ways since october the first for the president's administration

is going to mexico to meet with the president and his cabinet to discuss what they can do on the border by the president of mexico has said he is willing to help the united states with them forcing the border paper only if the united states does more for countries like cuba and venezuela and send them more aid in opening up toxic. you would know of them. what would you say to mexico? what do they need to be doing right now? what do you make of mexico demanding things in the united states? >> it is ridiculous to do things late may or may not be doing better relations with cuba and better relations with venezuela but that's not going to fix this problem. mexico needs to put an order in the water but the woman is going to make them do that is the president for the last administration the president threatened to shut down the southwest border and he has threatened tariffs against mexican goods coming across the southwest border. we are their number one trading

partner. we have very good leverage with mexico. they are in no place to make demands of this country at this president found himself he could fix a problem overnight which mexico is very key as part of the leadership to do that but i'm not saying that to force them into what we have more leverage than is suggested by the donation is going to go down there but it's too little too late they could have done this on day one and they refuse to do it. i am not hopeful these talks will turn into real changes on the border for the men and women who were on the front line. >> we are talking also at the immigration backlog. this is him syracuse university which tracks the backlog put it says this the immigration court backlog passed 3 million pending cases just 12 months ago during november 22 per the backlog was 2 million. the average of 975 cases during the last fiscal year for the average caseload for these judges on the bench has jumped to 4500 cases per judge.

ron, that is just an unbelievable number and there is no way to dig out of that, is there? >> there is a way you have to have it administration and operation that has a will to control the border and put policies in place to help the flow that help slow down the flow. it is a big backlog we need more in chargers we need more resources on the grounds. but what we have to start with is a will to change the problem. this administration this president have refused to do it. you can have 1000 more judges that will help that will alleviate the backlog. maybe it will alleviate it faster but as long as there's a gaping hole at the southwest border we are all at risk we talked about earlier in this segment and you are going to have a bigger problem as time goes on. you have to stop the leak too. >> ron, real quick any bill -- mike does a bill that comes out of congress does it need to have remained a mexico policy? is that a must have in your estimation? >> that would be very good as an

outcome or other consequences you could wait another third country or sufficiently staff and pay for detention space is verit'svery, very expensive butu have to institute a consequence for people come across the border illegally. it is a federal crime to spite with this administration is letting happen it's a federal crime to cross the border illegally killed those people to account by detaining them until they can see a judge or have enough weight in a safe country many, many more of that will refuse to come they will stop this flow peel slow it down and get the men and women on the frontline a chance to do their job right now but all are doing is helping people come into the country that is probably paying them for. that is not with their authority is designed for. >> this congress was historically bad in passing any kind of legislation this past year. we'll see if there any better in 2024. ron thank you for joining us in right christmas to you and yours. >> my christmas brian thank you. >> voters not buying what president biden is selling as poll after poll shows

[inaudible] >> president biden talking up improving numbers on the economy blaming the media for not getting the message across with inflation dropping consumer confidence is up to its highest level since 2021 new polling

finds many americans still down on the economy and his bragg is not helping. let's bring executive vice president national taxpayer union brandon arnold but thanks again for being here, appreciate it. i want to start off at the poll numbers because they are not great let's pull up the poll numbers now for the first poll numbers shows ultimately have you been helped by president biden's economic policies? only 14% of those polled in a fox news poll said they have been helped another poll finds the condition of the economy, 78% of voters say the condition of the economy was only fair or poor there have been some positive economic headlines that at the end of the day will just are not buying it, why? >> i think fundamentally it's not about helping people and that's reflected in the poll numbers it is about telling us what to do. what kind of car to drive.

how to keep our home warm what small businesses should do is they operate their businesses. that is why his poll numbers are lousy h is trying to tell us wht to do instead of trying to drive down inflation and trying to make our situation better. even as we see the number start to turn around and it's a great thing that started to turn around. we know this message were attributable to what's happening by the fed the fed dropping rates which if anything is increased inflation certainly his initial bills trillions and trillions of dollars pumped into the economy have the worst possible time is made or lives worse it's time that he recognized what he has done and connects with the american people rather than telling us we are wrong or telling the immediate we are wrong. >> how much of this is the interest rates on things like auto loans and the home mortgage rate being as high as it is the highest in a couple of decades. that's really what people are feeling goo not able to buy ther homes or their cars in the they do their feeling it pretty quick that's a big part of it no

doubt. people are locked into their homes right now they're such a huge disparity between where interest rates were two years ago and where interest rates are today. so people are saying and their homes or snow inventory out there for people to purchase if you are a home time -- like a first-time homebuyer at your house to show inventory and automobiles are a similar situation is huge disparity of interest rates but inflation is not just limited to homes and things affected by interest rates with these big ticket items or sing inflation across the board a as people are celebrating christmas they know christmas dinner is more expensive for the christmas tree you purchase is more expensive much all the presents under the tree are more expensive. yes we love's an seen the posite news inflation starting to turn around and even a little bit of deflation but we've got a long way to go to get back to where we were back before the pandemic when things were actually affordable. >> you wrote in a recent op-ed for fox digital you wrote this

the president ought to work with congress to reduce spending through the appropriations process just as a family would reduce spending on nonessential items during lean times for the federal government means to trim down the monstrous budget. next inflation could be tackled through better tax policy that encourages economic growth this boils on the simple supply and demand economics which tells us if you make more step or increase supply can you explain that on the tax policy f front with you think this administration should do? >> if it comes down to basic economics, if you have prices that are too high you can reduce demand. when people have less money they spend less and causes to drop. the other way you can reduce prices is by increasing supply. making more stuff and it comes to tax policy there's a lot of really good provisions than tax cuts and jobs act of 2017 the so-called trump tax cuts and

encourage companies to grow to invest more in the u.s. economy in terms of manufacturing capacity building new factories, buying more machinery but unfortunate those provisions have started to phase out. we put them back on the books we will start to see more production more growth in terms of output and weight make more stuff, when we produce our stuff up prices will fall and fall with fewer harmful side effects that we are seeing with the fed like we talked about the real estate market is a complete mess it's very, very expensive to borrow money that hurts average americans, hurt small businesses that are often times trying to finance their operations with the lending it's a huge hit across the economy i guess receiving lower inflation we are certain to also experience harmful side effects of high inflation rates. >> and quickly, not a lot of time in terms of the interest rates the fed signaling they're probably going to three cuts next year. are you buying what the fed is

saying what they are signaling? >> they have too. we have seen americans leverage their credit cards like never before. $1 trillion collectively on her credit cards most of that debt is financed a variable interest rates when those interest rates go up it becomes harder and harder to stay afloat dropping the rates down is going to give american families a little bit of breathing room as they worked to rebuild their personal finances. thank doubt that that building up savings getting to a more comfortable place where they are more financially secure. >> the doubt reaching a historic high the markets are certainly feeling bullish about next year we shall see. brandon arnold merry christmas to you and yours thank you so much. >> thank you brian. correct israeli prime ministertn how to conduct the war on hamas as the fighting takes a holiday break. a live report from israel next. .
