uses it as leverage in a negotiation and what president trump is trying to avoid is giving democrats a loaded gun to hold to his head here. >> this week revealed within the house republican conference, conservatives are cutting ending with a small majority next year the house gop will have to rely on democratic votes to get legislation across the finish line. >> if mike johnson thinks he will get any favors from the democrat, i've got news for him, is not going to get any favors so we will see how this trifecta decides they are going to govern or not. >> another challenge next year keeping his job, the speakers vote is scheduled for january 3. >> reporting from the white house, thank you. biden's involvement in the botched afghanistan withdrawal, "wall street journal" reportedly

adapting to the white house around the needs of diminished leader. they told visitors to keep meetings focused. interactions with senior democratic lawmakers and some cabinet members including powerful secretary such as lloyd austin and treasuries janik ellen were infrequent or group less frequent. some legislative leaders had a hard time getting the president here key moments ahead of the disastrous pullout from afghanistan. this comes as another damaging report from the daily mail reveals quote, biden kept the grieving relatives of the marines killed in afghanistan waiting for three hours. air force one on the tarmac before a dignified transfer. multiple military families told the daily mail. biden official with the national security council denying this report to fox but can we trust them? that is where we start. david webb, we will work our way

down the table. we discovered a lot of ground. >> i'm not going to put their names back out there but i know some of these family members in the report is true. the mother of a marine who was murdered. the family of matthew, the foreman, the other families there, charities involved in paying for travel expenses for the families to get to answers because they didn't do it so again, with respect to their names, they've been through enough pain and close connections more than a few of these families shared this for members of the family, it is true. he wasn't there. whatever he was doing, he wasn't there. he hasn't been to a dignified transfer, i was there in hawaii with vice president pence in contrast to that and brought home 44 remains from vietnam.

completely different behavior by all involved. >> heartfelt impactful moment about the president not being president at a given time so families. a broader report about the lack of presence of the president right now. many people were observing decline and perhaps not as it could have been throughout the entire administration. >> we've been saying this. what concerns me is it's not just suddenly real and i love our newspaper in the journal and all of that but this has been obvious from start even during the campaign he was not. the weekends are always away from the white house and delaware. the fact that it's been anonymous, faceless, staffers in the bureaucratic swamp running the country and the constitution

requires the president to be responsible and get the ussions, good or bad decisions. we don't have a and we have not had the. everyone has known it in videos and spinning it as cheap fakes. that wasn't really true and now we know it was all true. i'll remind you when it comes to communications, lloyd austin was hospitalized for an extended period of time. no one had heard from him and everyone was wondering, how do you not talked to the secretary of defense? now of course not because no one was communicating with biden. no medication in general. this has been winging it for the last four years putting the entire nation at risk. what we have to remember is this is not new, it's nice people are now talking about it but in the next administration, we must have an investigation of exactly

who was doing what and who is running the country and who should be held responsible for the debacles we've all faced. >> they are saying is that strategy. >> it's ridiculous. the families not about this, the staff is not about this, senior staff, i think there are senators out there supposed to be interacting. one thing a lot of high-level people have dcr on offense. i would love to see every piece of legislation and everything required, the signature of the president of the united states including the latest bill, i'd like to have them compare that, was he signing that himself? he didn't have the presence of mind and didn't personally sign it, is not valid and i think there needs to be every single one of those that he supposedly signed. >> considering the sentences, death row inmates frustrating

trumps plans to dreamlike executions. among them, boston marathon bomber and white supremacist dylan roof killed three people and injured hundreds of others implanted an explosive device near the boston marathon finish line in 2013, one killed was a child. roof killed nine black churchgoers in charleston in 2015. the decisions could reportedly come as soon as christmas. >> a total disregard for the system of justice. totally ignoring the victims. each and every case, a president has the ability to pardon somebody, they need to look at the individual case and make an individual decision. these blanket pardons in mass, not as if there was a particular incident and everybody was convicted of that's different. this is a matter what you did when you did it, we are going to

let you go without looking at and taking into the victim's consideration. >> this is about the president being responsible for making the decision. i don't even think joe biden, and he's been a jerk for 50 years, what if proof of those pardons? i think it is activist in the white house on the far left to want to get rid of the death penalty and they do not care. that's not what it should be in that's wife with everything we know now, this should not be any action that requires the direct involvement of the president should be stopped considering that it is and who speaking from inside because they cannot be relevant or acceptable pardons. >> something i want people to pay attention to, the 20 for the moment. the one thing that can really stop that from going forward is the lie. the lie and cover up in the

white house. this is possibly the greatest scandal in modern times covering up the president unable to do the job and lies that prevent them from executing the 25th amendment. >> one of the things interesting about the potential changes was biden wrote this 1994 law many of the people on death row were convicted under so i wonder if that is weighing on him. >> i don't know that he's thinking through any issues right now. >> does he know it's under consideration? perhaps that's an interesting take, how much has he known throughout the course of the presidency? >> in the mix in the media, the most competent, all statements made and then you don't need to notes in the white house. you don't need the notes overseas or around the world,

you don't need federal lines and if he goes off prompter or goes wrong, these are real problems. whose make decisions, other world leaders are paying attention as well. the world is watching. >> still ahead, the "big weekend show". playing savior. you have long hair, appeared and give out holiness? you might find your calling in utah. 40 million sellers, a mysterious drone sightings around airports and military bases. delay frantic briars. next. ♪ ♪

the government biden's administration telling us this is no big deal really it seems to be more serious, we have to presume hidden from us because we are not getting answers, what is your approach on this? >> by take is our government is taking a serious and my concern is what, they will wait until somebody dies to protect americans? that is the danger here. the u.s. government over the last couple weeks dealing with drone incursions is they don't have a clear governmentwide policy for how to deal with mitigating from threats and it's a major national security th threat. the agencies are pointing fingers at somebody else's responsibility but i know where bottleneck is they are responsible for coordinating this and they are not doing a good job. >> jason chaffetz there. what are they doing?

they can be armed, a drone sw swarm, i don't think our government is prepared for any of those but what are they do doing? what are they looking for? how -- what intelligence and they gathered hovering over new jersey? >> a lot of people assume drones are about fancy high-powered cameras and that's not the case. they dealt with this technology for quite time and all it takes is an adversary to flow over sensitive site in the damage is done because you could put sensors on the drones that collect cell phone data and pick up cell phones if i want to figure out information and text, to fly drone with a special sensor and collect data for could go back to different intelligence agencies. anything wide enough for a

drone, you can do it. >> two men recently in boston, one was in court, they were charged related to components ultimately reaching a drone used to kill three american soldiers earlier this year so they can be deadly and used in war. it is that something for you wouldn't want the american public getting used to seeing drones? >> we need to pay attention to it, a lot more because what's happening overseas with current wars the ukraine russian were 70, 80% on the front lines are small and held drones you can attach to. this is becoming a problem. thousands of holiday travelers which had to be shut down they determine a potential threat. drone activity disrupted flights in the past, aliens of dollars.

all it takes is one sighting of a drone over traffic. >> good to see you again. transponders are required by the faa for commercial drones similarly to an airplane. there is not about being talked about here, what does that tell you? >> it doesn't matter if they are required because only big companies are doing it. what about rogue operators building these things in the garage? they don't put a transponder on it and zero thing the faa can do about it. we got to reset our national security infrastructure to deal with the stress. >> excellent points. without information, we tend to fill in imaginings and conspiracy theories but we don't need a conspiracy theory, with got a lot on our hands. thank you for joining us tonight.
