sean, we start with a fox news alert, president trump leading the way on budget negotiations endorsing a new drastically slimmed down to keep the government open. on capitol hill, that measure was just voted down in the clock is ticking a government funding runs dry at midnight tomorrow, that's about 26 hours from now. this comes as we learn shocking new details about how the biden white house cocooned and protected a diminished commander and chief. reporting comes from this expose in "the wall street journal", the report that quote, there was limits over who biden's spoke with -- biden spoke with, and limits around the sources of information he consumed. the president of the united states limited out of necessity by unelected handlers, let that sink in. senior advisors were off and put

into that some administration officials and lawmakers thought that biden himself should occupy. who has been running the country over the past four years? that is the question. the president's diminished status was so bad that meetings with democratic lawmakers, powerful secretaries like lloyd austin and treasury secretary quote, were infrequent, in fact,, they cancelled meetings altogether. if biden was out of it. some leaders had a hard time getting the president's ear at key moments including out of the u.s. disaster us pullout from afghanistan. as you will remember, we lost 13 heroic americans at the abbey gauge in the fall of afghanistan and lawmakers could not get a hold of the president. but perhaps the most disturbing detail of all of this, is this, listen closely.

a sign that the bruising presidential schedule need to be adjusted for biden -- biden's advanced age had risen early on, in the first few months of biden's term. administration officials notice the president became tired, if meetings went long, and would make mistakes. so aids to the president's new in the first few months of his term, the incapacity of the leader of the free world and they did nothing, what a scandal! in fact listen to this, in the spring of 2021, so just after taking office, biden was having an off day so they scrapped a national security meeting. now one national security official involved with that cancelled meeting, noted to a white house aide quote, he has a good days and bad days, and today was a bad day, so we are going to address this tomorrow. let's hope the matter could weight until them. meanwhile president-elect

trumpets actively engaged, this is one month before inauguration day, trump is negotiating government funding deals, he is prodding allies like canada and mexico and mapping out an ambitious legislative agenda. but first, congress will need to pass a budget deal. here now but the very latest on that, from capitol hill is chad who is with us. >> good evening, you talk about the president-elect legislative agenda in the new year, that kind of took a blow tonight because they can't even from the government. republicans are blaming this on democrats, but when i look at the votes, republicans could not even get a simple majority to get past this bill. 30a republicans voted no, and that demonstrates how tenuous the majority is going to be in the near. when you have the president-elect along with elon musk and others who blew up

the bigger spending bill yesterday, they come back with a more spell built tonight. now of course republicans are saying, the democrats should have helped but i will point to every single bill that has dealt with fiscal matters this year, and last year as well, this congress, they have had to get democratic votes to move this across the finish line. republicans are in the majority of the house of representatives but it is democrats today leaned on, repeatedly, democrats today say we were not a part of this negotiation, the bill that we negotiated it you guys threw in the dumpster, so we are not going to help. they whipped us only two democrats voted yes. >> one question, on at this, there has been five continuing resolutions you make the point that every single one of them needed democrats, that is a fact. when you look at the republican vote count on it these five

continuing resolutions the most republicans that have ever voted for any of these is 132 and tonight you had 170 republicans, so there is that lift the president-elect gave it even though it did not cross the finish line is that correct? >> you are right, they definitely showed some positivity in that sense but on capitol hill we don't get style points from the east german judge, you either pass the bill or you don't so you have the president-elect saying this is the bill that i want, and we are going to do all of these things with tax cuts and budget reconciliation next year, and if you can't do this that is a problem. the president-elect's flexed his muscles yesterday, when these 38 republicans flexed their muscles back at them today, of this is demonstrating the deep divide inside the republican conference. there are some republicans you simply are not going to go for additional spending, the republican from texas said just because this bill is a leaner bill, that does not mean it does not spend.

another person indicated there was not an offset for all of this disaster. that is a problem for many republicans, $110 billion in the disaster aid factor, so until republicans can get everybody onto the field at the same time, which is very challenging, that is why when you go down to one vote i always say its about the math the next year, it's going to be really hard to get all of these things done in may potentially overpromise because the legislator and mathematical reality do not align and they did not align tonight. the government may shut down here, not quite this time tomorrow night, they have until 11:59 tomorrow night, that is the deadline ahead of the weekend before christmas. >> it comes down to math and you don't get style claims as you noted, keep us updated thank you. here with reaction to all of tonight's top stories our senator tom, senator, we will

get to the breaking news this evening but i want to start with this explosive "wall street journal" report, an issue i feel you will probably have thoughts on and that is afghanistan. i want to pull this up so they are reporting this is about adam smith, he's chairman of the armed services committee over in the house, and this happened. adam sought to talk to biden directly to talk about insights of afghanistan but could not get on the phone with him smith said, after the disaster withdrawal he made a clinical comment to "the washington post" triggering an angry phone call from secretary state anthony shortly after smith got in apologetic call from biden, it was the only phone call biden made toward smith and his four years in office, and smith said this, quote, the biden white house was more inflated the most i spoke with barack obama on a number of occasions when he was president, and i was not even the chairman of the committee. does it outraged you tonight that a democrat, that has

knowledge of afghanistan could not get a hold of the commander in chief ahead of that disaster? >> it's consistent with what we have heard from the earlier days of the biden administration and frankly, the angry phone call should have been going from democrats like adam smith towards joe biden and those around him for not listening to him and listening to us, when we warn the peril that our troops face in afghanistan. again, there was a vow of silence among democrats for four years, it was just in february this year chuck schumer said joe biden's mental acuity is great, it is not diminished at all. think about that. in february, chuck schumer was lying to the american people saying he has not lost a step in years. they did not state after the debate either when it was clear to everyone, only after the

election when he could no longer affect the ability to claim power, that you start to get some of the real story the american people can see from the beginning. i have to remind all of our viewers, joe biden is still president tonight. we have another month of joe biden, he may be forgotten but he is not gone. this tied into this debate we see over government funding right now, donald trump is the president-elect. people are still going to him trying to get guidance, trying to put together a compromise bill to fund our government, not to joe biden the actual president, wears joe biden? trying to get his party, which controls the senate for another two weeks to pass legislation to fund our government. you have seen this for four years, joe biden has been an absent president in american people suffering for. >> without a doubt, you brought up the spending bill so i want to pull this out from one of your senate colleagues, this is elizabeth warren noting a chronic of the president, on the

far left, he is conservative, she tweeted this, i agree with president-elect trump, that congress should terminate the debt limit and never again govern by hostagetaking, what do you make their of that? >> i think one, we should bookmark that. i'm not sure we will hear from another four years that elizabeth warren agrees with trump, what happened tonight assemble, the overwhelming majority of republicans, voted not just upon the government of christmastime, but to deliver badly needed aid to hurricane ravaged communities in the southeast, and those who are struggling. the overwhelming majority of democrats voted to shut down the government and denied that aid, why? because they want to obstruct president trumps validity in the new year to deliver on our campaign promises, the american people want. like securing the border, rebuilding our military, reducing the price you pay for electricity and gas and cutting your taxes. it's just that simple.

>> i want to -- one final question, it began early on with his presidency you had said that tom cotton demands a dod records on border materials sales be preserved. you won documents preserved as it pertains to these border wall sales and i am wondering should documents be preserved in the white house as we learn more about the president diminished capacity as it relates to afghanistan? >> it probably would not hurt because there is a lot of questions to be answered and i think you will start to see more of those questions answered, "the wall street journal" article at 50 anonymous sources, you had to line up outside at the door and draw a number if he wanted to share your story about joe biden, once he is finally out of office i think we will see more of that, i am more worried about what is happening as they leave office things like the the department selling

portable materials for pennies on the dollar again, trump doing basic things the american people want links of -- like securing our border. >> it senator, thank you. joining us now south carolina senator tim scott. tim scott i want to start by moving this forward from "the wall street journal" i'm going to "the new york times", we learn a lot when the president loses an election and aid start talking in this what we learned from "the new york times", biden remains plenty sharp in a situation room calling world leaders to broker a cease-fire in lebanon in dealing with the chaos of serious rebellion. but it is hard to imagine that biden seriously thought he could do the world's most stressful job for another four years. there is "the new york times" admitting that, here is biden aid is still telling us what they told us before, he run circles around us. do you think he is running circles around the generals of the situation room? >> he is at running circles, not at all.

still playing out today. in 2020 his staff knew he was compromised, confused, he was not a command so to talk about where he is today as if it is real, it is embarrassing, in his wrist -- irresponsible and a bold face lie. thank god the american people are never fooled by the swamp, that's why they reelected president donald trump, he is a lucid, clear and already working on behalf of the american people , but contrast between the two men could not be more clear. it is time for that change to come, january 20th cannot get here fast her. >> -- faster. >> senator scott we are about 26 hours from a government

shutdown, what do you think happens? >> listen, i hope the house continues to move in the direction of president trump, he has laid out clear markers and what he doesn't want its the democrats to hold him hostage with a debt ceiling, that is why it is such an important part of the conversation, what he wants is to make sure that doj is successful, that means the american people get to keep more of their hard-earned dollars. we are going to see president trump take command, cut spending and give things -- and to get done and that requires us to find the deal he supports. he is already acting as if he is the commander in chief because as of today we don't have a commander in chief, we have wrinkly staffers, who want to be the commander in chief lead this white house. it will not be that case when president trump comes in. >> staffers he wants to be the

commander in chief are all intensive purposes create a "wall street journal" report, over the past four years. we have some new fox news reporting today, thank you to you. you will be heading up to and rsc, this is the campaign arm of the senate, if we learn anything it's the importance of a robust house majority and a robust senate majority and we learned it was of the old -- it was revealed, people don't want to think about politics but two years from now, you have a 20 republicans up for reelection, 13 democrats, what you think happens in two years are you ready to try and secure and grow that majority you have in the senate? >> the first thing i do is sit down with president trump and make sure we were on the same page, and susan collins all the way into the red.

what we have done is create a staff that president trump will be proud of because we will not only hold the majority, i believe we have an opportunity to expand the majority. georgia, new hampshire, michigan, three states where we can win today and if you are watching a governor, we are coming to next because virginia is another place we can add to our total. defend our incumbent and our seats. let's add 23 or four seats, i am an optimist, it's going to take a lot of work but the good news is, we have the right president leading the charge, and this is his republican party, we're going to add days majority, the american people deserve four consecutive years of republican majority and the senate in the house, that leads to a generation of american opportunity. >> you just mentioned four seats do you think it is within the realm of possibility, at 53 set a majority, become 57?

>> idea, lesson here is what we have to do to get there, simple math for my perspective. we need to wait in north carolina, kentucky, kansas, maine, for critical races we have to defend and we have a chance to add, in georgia, new hampshire, virginia and frankly, new mexico and minnesota. not out the ring, not yet. not with president trump. >> you already know the mouth i love to see it thank you so much. coming up, the trump administration getting ready to put an end to joe biden's dangerous border crisis and you heard it virginia will there later work overtime to implement trump's agenda? ♪ ♪

>> welcome back to the special into -- special edition, onto this abide administrations open border crisis continues to wreak havoc across the entire country, things are about to change. on cnn last night, birthright citizenship might not be enshrined in the constitution. also saying cnn host that he wants funding from congress for

a mass deportation operation. watch. meanwhile under biden border states have been left to fend for themselves. texas governor greg announced his latest effort to curb illegals, a billboard campaign in mexico and central america.

the slow comes as a new report states that immigration is driving the largest population growth in the united states, and over -- in over 20 years, here with the latest, tom. tom last night we were asked about the general framework for immigration you said it will be ready to go on inauguration day, you are going to hit the ground running, i thought of this mbc report i read a few weeks ago i want to pull it up and it said this, much of the first day is likely to focus on stopping illegal immigration, the centrepiece of trump's candidacy he is expected to sign up to five executive orders. this is as many orders as he signed on every single issue, the first week of his last term. does that ring true in your mind, do these executive orders come day one? >> absolutely. more than five, it could be many. already working on them.

he's got a mandate for american people we cannot have stronger security without border security, the same time he is going to sign i.c.e. officers... at the same time any catch release day one also looking for over 340,000 missing children, we have a lot happening day one, it up and stay one but it will continue until we finish the drop. >> more than five executive orders, that is huge, is that sending a clear party of immigration across the starting line of this administration? i was also intrigued by the cnn report i read i don't know it's true or not but i think people think the trump administration is so radical with what they want to do, this cnn headline read to this, some part of trump's deportation plan may be obama like, this is a quote,

what tom is talking about our obama related things, you worked in the obama administration you now were for president trump, do you think some of this will be coming from the obama playbook? >> i forgot more about this game , but obama did concentrate on public safety threats. the results were terrible. look at this administration, look at the data, 74% decrease, i noticed today these numbers are breaking. i put that report together, the bottom line is we are 80% of those, people rest on the border, by the border, interior

rates were down 80% so they are playing a numbers game but trump's numbers are going to blow all of these numbers out of the water because we let isa do their job. >> the numbers game is interesting when we have a fact that young women, mothers of five like rachel moore has been killed when they go out for jobs by people he shouldn't have you and then here. that tells us all you need to know but as we look at this, not only do you have these tragic stories, you have an election were 77 million people voted for trump, trump always said he believed immigration was the reason he would win. i think there are -- is a lot of truth on that. democrats who say they're willing to play ball with the guys, here is mark kelly, a democrat, if there is willingness to work in a bipartisan way, not only on border security but also immigration, it would be great.

democrats in the senate were willing to work with republicans, all kinds of conversations i hope to be a part of them in a comprehensive immigration reform, could you see a possibility where you get democrat votes on your first legislative priority? >> i'm pessimistic about that but, two things, the response abilities protect americans, american committees, trump and myself have thing clear. -- have been clear. second of all, they looked at the votes from this election, it's the number 1 issue, they won this election overwhelmingly so they noticed, look, the american people are upset about it and we are going to fix a

prince them -- fix it for them. they are trying to set president trump up for failure but trump and his success is unprecedented. we are going to have success again, but this time we are going to finish the job and have the most secure border in history of this nation. >> final question i don't have a ton of time but, i was seeing publications put out the live of the year, it was crazy to me because to me the lie of the year is that nothing is going wrong in our rural colorado where we saw gangs take over, i want to remind everyone of what the media was saying. abc, j.d. vance standby trumps a

false claim about venezuelan gangs in aurora, washington post from campaigns cited false claims about gangs, "new york times", how the fall stories about gang takeovers in aurora, reach trump and now we have this report that says 19 individuals were a part of the venezuelan gang were arrested for torturing two people. would he think when you see those headlines? >> it's constant lies by these elected officials, i went to aurora, i saw them. they are in bad shape, or mill gangs are everywhere. i talked to some people that lived in that apartment complex, i was there. they have a problem. you have about five more weeks. of doing what you were doing, but guess what, a day one,

january 21st you are a major priority. my gang is bigger than your gang and we are going to take you down, detain you and import you back to your homeland. we will send you someplace else, but you are not staying here. >> they are on a notice, and every woman he wants to vote, can sigh of relief. turning to virginia where the state leaders are working hard to implement trump agenda, last week governor glenn announced a new plan in improving the sanctuary cities, yesterday he proposed a budget the proposed tax relief on tips and cards, meanwhile, he announced his endorsement would back lieutenant governor , joining us now with more. lieutenant governor i want to start where we began, this is so

impressive will you and governor young have managed to do, you had a budget surplus last year, one is the last time you heard of the state budget surplus? you want to use that money to give tax relief on tips, tax relief on cars and there is a democrat general assembly in the two chambers, they are poised to keep that. you think democrats play ball with what you and governor young have done? >> well the reason we have that large surplus, and this by the way is after we have fully funded education, we have helped on transportation, we have done so much to keep everyone safe. so many more things that we have done, i'm talking about even $400 million for child care so those who want to come back to work have the ability to do so. we are flushed with this cash and what we are trying to do is put the people's money back into their hands, and you would think that would be, the wise thing to

do because you give the people of the money that they work hard for, they know they are going to buy another refrigerator, another car, whatever it is, that whole ecosystem eventually produces taxes, which comes back to the government so we can put it back in their hands. it's as simple as that. apparently that is controversial. we are going to put 1 billion and let the democrats vote for common sense. >> we will see, you guys will become the first date to packs and no tax on tips, that would be an accomplishment. you received the endorsement of governor glenn, that is a huge deal. you in this primary let's say, you move on to run against whoever the democrat is, we are thinking next november this is a huge election all eyes on virginia, abigail bamberger is looking to be the democrat nominee for governor, do you think that republicans can hold onto the governor's mansion in the state of virginia?

it was hard to do, can you do it as well? >> yes, we are a blue state but you're looking at someone who, 20 something years ago when i was first elected to the virginia house of delegates, i was elected in a 58% black a district, 2% democrat overall. i won as as a republican, i want against an 11 year incumbent who had a c4 20 years, i only had three months to run. i ran as a republican and we won. we want to do that again, again i want, after coming back, here i am lieutenant governor , in the former capital of the confederate states. people no common sense when they see it. that is what they want. they do not want to play racial games, they want common sense, how much of my money that i work hard for you i could to keep. are we going to be safe or are you going to be talking about defining the police, going to be

able to create jobs because that is what makes my world tech or are you going to play silly games? the democrats believe that the person who are the -- who they are going to put up, probably cannot beat me. but you know, i have always been saying that, i and the comeback. come back after 20 years here i am, i am not going anywhere we are going to fight because we play for common sense and that is finally what the people want. >> lieutenant governor , incredibly impressive hopefully we are calling you governor this time it, next year thank you very much. trump keeps winning, earlier this morning fulton county d.a. was disqualified from her witch hunt against trump. problem the president-elect to the case quote, entirely dead. meanwhile amazon founder meanwhile amazon founder jeff bezos was spotted having dinner with trump last night at mar-a-lago, not everybody is taking trump's triumphant return so well, in new york city.

in fact cohosts of the view, whoopi goldberg and joy they heart stooped to a new level engaging in a weird conspiracy theory, you will not believe this, watch. i mean that's a little weird. joining us now with more

incoming white house secretary, caroline i am so thrilled to have you with me, you would think abc having just paid $50 million for defamation lawsuit, with think not to engage in any conspiracy theories about assassination attempts but i guess that is too much to ask from the view. i have to ask you because they said it, are you aware of any plots from elon musk to push president from down the stairs? >> absolutely not. a let me be unequivocally clear about that. watching this clip i could not help but think how ironic that whoopi goldberg and joy in the rest of the ladies on the view, spend their time calling republicans, the conspiracy theorists. but they have been wrong about everything they have said over the past couple of years. they like -- they have likened the president trump to hitler. they lied about it consistently on their show. it was a joy to wash them on

november the 6th when they realized that tens of millions of americans do not listen to the lies that they have disputed these women are completely out of touch with reality and you are right, abc should wake up and they just paid $15 million to president trump's a future library, that is a great thing for the american people. >> it is. i want to start with that, crazy absurdity because during my 10 years of white house press secretary i remember one briefing where ryan bizarrely asked me if trump was happy that the south lost the civil war to which -- you can see me, i stopped and looked at him and i said, that is absurd! you will deal with these kind of crazy questions from the white house podium, how do you plan to deal with that? >> yes, i will. i feel prepared to do that, i have been facing the media now speaking on behalf of donald trump on the campaign trail, for the past couple of years.

we are expecting the media to be hostile, however, if you do talk to a lot of these reporters off the record they will tell you, they look forward to more press transparency and access and while we will expose the fake news when they are fake, we will hold them accountable for the lies and smears of president trump. i can also assure the american people that they are going to be hearing directly from the leader of the free world, and the press likes to hear that to that is something that is not happened over the past four years we have had incompetence senile president as proven by that skating "wall street journal" report that came out today, you discussed on the show earlier, you have a press secretary who hardly knows what is going on in the building and never gives honest and truthful answers, all that that is going to change on january 20th as evidenced by president trump's press conference at mar-a-lago this week where he took in 90 minutes worth of questions from the legacy meeting -- media.

nobody cares about access more than a president trump, you knew that as his press secretary that is going to change, come january, but we are going to continue to hold the figures accountable no doubt about it. >> i read this report that there has been 96% negative coverage from the broadcast network of trump's cabinet picks and polling shows a majority of americans support them. the reason i want to bring this up, i would never ask you to reveal conversations you have with the -- the reporters i want to ask, he would think after trump got more popular, a raw vote counts that any republican in the history of presidential politics won the popular vote that there would be some press that is eating crow right now. in any of your conversations do you get a sense the reporters are stepping back and saying, look, he's doing something right and may be we need to reassess how we look at this presidency? >> i do think a lot of members of the legacy media are realizing that. i thought that was evident at

the press conference at mar-a-lago this past week, or the questions were focused on the issues of the day and there are a lot of problems plaguing our country and the american people quite now -- right now we are entangled in a war in ukraine, the middle east is chaotic, we have inflation that is robbing the american people of their hard-earned paychecks, we have a border that continues to be a mass we have hundreds of thousands of legal immigrant criminals roaming free in our country. i hope that the media will focus on the issues that matter to the american people, the issues that lead them to vote in a resounding way, for president trump on november the 5th. that is what president trump is focused on, more so than ever, we have an array of executive action that will be rolled out on jay one to change the lives of the american people immediately. we have the house, we have the senate, trump has big plans, for capitol hill. i hope the legacy meeting will take a step back and realize

they megan people have not listen to their lies, trust in the legacy media is at all time low and president trump ran in an untraditional media lane on the campaign trail, it's a big part of the reason he won. he sat down with pod casters and social influencers and new voices that the american people are listening to, and as presidents -- president trump's secretary we will find ways to bring those voices into the briefing room as well. clearly he did it on the campaign trail and we will continue that in the white house. >> carolina you are always on fence, incredibly intelligent i am so thrilled you are our white house press secretary. you have a lot of people cheering you on. coming up a new poll suggests young americans are becoming less religious. plus the chosen creator, i am so excited about this, dallas joins

of the hit series the chosen, dallas jenkins, dallas my daughter he was five and i watch the movie this weekend we absolutely loved it. my 5-year-old was captivated i was captivated. you said this was a movie you were born to make, you checked in with the person who held the rights for five years, you had a calendar invite, you would pray for this movie and particular. what led you to want to make this movie, why did you have this strong calling towards this film? >> yes, i wish he was only five years it was actually almost 20 years ago that i read the book to my kids, and between the laughter, the nostalgia and everything, i got to the end of the and i was crying so hard i could not see the pages. my wife amanda grabbed it from me, she starts reading it and she starts crying we passed the back and forth to each other for almost 20 years i have been pursuing the rights and because of the chosen, i ended up getting the right and now the fact that we are able to talk about this movie in theatres is in many ways a calling.

the story is so beautiful, is about these unruly kids that take over the christmas pageant and hijack it and everybody things is going to be the worst ever but because of their poverty and their outsider status, they are closer to the heart of the true story and it results in the title, the best christmas pageant ever. >> it's a beautiful story of redemption, forgiveness, available to all of us and to that end you have season five of the chosen coming out early next year. i saw jonathan said it was a loaded season, the most beautiful complex intense season we've ever done, what can we expect? >> it's crazy, it's holiday week this is the most intense and most impactful week in the history of the world. so many things happen that's only people recognize, of turning over the tables, the last supper, you have the betrayal of judas, lots of big moments in this season, all of the enemies of and the

worshipers of gathering in one shape for one week so it's a bit of a powder keg and a lot of the stories have been building up to this. >> one of the third lines i see, 's how relatable and accessible that is to people who are not people of faith. how do you do that? i've heard people who are not christian that say, i am so drawn in and moved by these two pieces of work. >> you mentioned it in the intro about how fewer people are not finding religion, i think there is something to that. the chosen is trying to show is that sometimes we put things up between us and to god and sometimes it's even our religion, the common circumstance, the formality, the organization, i think there are a lot of young people especially starting to resist some of the and i think we are trying to say, go to directly.
