"washington post" report. shannon: okay lucas tomlinson reporting from st. croix thank you very much for joining us now mistreat senator eric schmitt. welcome to the show, senator. >> good to be with you. let's start here at the fight of the h1 b visas which is gotten really ugly on social media. elon musk offices supports them, says he tech companies need them. he was in h1 b visa holder himself at one point. in the middle of this fight he's referred to people than the gop who are hateful, unrepentant racists and another post on x he said this, take a big step back and blank yourself in the face i will go to war on this issue. the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend. on the other side of this longtime trump ally steven bannon says the whole thing is a scam that's hurting american workers. he adds this. we are going to win this. they are going to surrender. they're not going to continue to destroy american citizens and engineering by the scam. this is a total comment let me repeat if you did not get it is

a total and complete scamper president trump brought together a coalition of all kinds of groups of people and thinkers to win. how to see it now manage them in the middle of a fight like this is come very public? >> first of all it's important to acknowledge this is a very important debate to have. it's happening on x right now which is a free and open platform. it's something i thought for when is the attorney general of missouri. we suited the biden administration for their censorship regime. it's an important thoughtful debates that's happening. the context of a need to keep in mind here, is that the american workers have been left behind by this economy but many factory jobs have been sent overseas. the abuses of the h1 b program have been evident. you have the sons and daughters of those factory workers who lost their jobs got white-collar jobs as accountants. they are training their appointments the foreign workers are undercutting their wages. the solution here, president trump has articulated is 2020 is to reform the system.

get rid of the abuses. make it merit-based and make sure we're not undercutting wers and having americans replace their foreign replacements. also keep in mind here, the big debate and the big issue that is coming is actually the border. we have 58 million people who are here illegally that joe biden and the democrats have let in their writing white papers for a liberal think tanks that writing policy for united states of america we have crime, we have been settled, we have a national security risk. the first order of business as the deportations that are going to begin on day one. executive orders that are coming. i do think president trump is talked about reforming the system the h1 b system. the mass migration has undercut jobs, wages and increased housing costs. that is where the focus is going to be paid that's with the mandate president trump got was to secure the southern border

you heard tom hellman talk about how is going to do that. shannon: owing to its immigration more specifically. before we leave the h1 b visa issue then your post had a conversation with president trump yesterday. here's what they say. they say supports immigration visa for highly skilled workers appearing to side with the light must quote i have many h1 b visas on my properties. i've been a big believer, a believer in h-1b i've used it many time to grow a great program placement critical in the passage to be fair the "new york times" seems to question whether you talk about h-1b visas. they say he is he is h2b visas h2 eight on his truck properties but did not s set use of h1 b visa. i'm not sure that it's been clarified yet he has been critical about this pretty top undercutting the american worker there that seems to be the biggest argument against that. people brought over as foreign workers are necessarily supplanting american workers who may be qualified, may want these jobs. but the foreign workers are paid

less. so, i want to talk to some possible legislative changes to this. the group that is a federation for american immigration has talked about things they want to see change. but possibly you and congress can tackle but not long h1 b visa to be a pathway to citizenship preventing employees and paying the foreign workers lessen americans in the same jobs, requiring proof of employers they first saw it and offer these positions to qualify americans and they went tougher enforcement mechanisms for random audits is that the kind of thing you think your colleagues whether it you as republicans are bipartisan we could get behind? >> i think there's been a lot of abuse paid that's was driving a lot of the discussion right now is the abuse that's happened where you see qualified americans being denied a lot of these jobs because the company can go out and hire cheaper labor from a foreign country. that is really the abuse it. the reforms it president trump afforded 2020 which by the way were canceled by joe biden,

canceled by joe biden. right now it is eight lottery there is no merit to this is just a lottery. you see companies trying to gain the system it putting 30,000 applications in helping to get 10,000 from a random lottery that's a system that needs to be reformed president trump is talked about that. also undercutting wages by bringing in somebody under eight loophole for example you cannot have it be the same employer but it is a consulting firm. those are the kind of things a starting point president trump articulated what he wanted to reform is very broken system back in 2020 that joe biden next. he came under the auspices of my doing everything president trump including 94 executive orders getting rid of her maine and mexico. stopping the construction out of the border wall put all the things president trump was trying to do to shore up the border and make sure we are putting american workers first. i think you are going to continue to see that that's the mandate president trump got face when he talks about on the campaign trail.

we have two in one last point, this is a longer-term conversation we have to invest in american workers. i think of people that frustrated by they see what it said $5 billion going to ukraine ukraine. they cemented guys going to other countries to teach them about di. meanwhile, our education system has completely failed in many ways th there's not m been a fon the american worker. that is his multiethnic working-class party at the republican parties led by president trump. i think there's a lot of ground to be made up here and putting american workers first. shannon: the point of the broader conversation about immigration the present chocolate pudding a stop to illegal immigration, getting control of the southern border. also deporting potentially millions of people who are already here how to play something your colleague alex padilla said about actually getting this people out of the country. >> the next time we hear republicans say they support trumps a plan to deport waves, ways of undocumented immigrants, let's be clear about what comes with that.

higher prices for american families. they are supporting the first removal of millions of hard-working community members. 80% of whom have lived here 10 years or more. thirty-six when he say to critics who say it's going to tear apart existing families and going to hurt the u.s. economy by taking millions of workers out of the mix? quick to point out to my friend from california that bill clinton and barack obama deported 17 million people. so the idea of deporting people who are here illegally is not a new concept. in fact the policy and the law of the nine states of america for 200 years is if you come here illegally you are detained. if you do not have a valid reason mike asylum and nine out of 10 asylum claims are bogus. then you are deported but that is how we have always operated. only recently quite frankly the last four years the radical left is taken of the white house, these people do not believe in borders they think they are

arbitrary lines on a map we are all world citizens everyone should build to come here predict a put up a luxury hotel in new york at the expense of taxpayers for the look the other way when illegal immigrants at the woman on fire in the subway. this is all part. by the way you don't need to be a citizen to be counted in the senses. this was the goal for them all along. the truth is we have laws in this country they're just not being enforced. president trump is going to come in. it's going to enforce those l laws. bring back remain in mexico creates a disincentive for the cartels to traffic people in the waiting room is in mexico. not here in the united states where they are just released into the interior never to be seen again. to give it a court date 10 years from now. that's what's happening right now. that's a system that silly broken so president trump is actually going to enforce existing laws and deport people who are here illegally. that is come in on day one. to see a flurry of executive orders to that point. the american people want that. you see that among hispanic voters, black voters, white

voters. every socioeconomic group supported that the exit porting samples supports that that's why president trump won. he's very clear about this is a big important part about as many he received. thirty-six who saw fox news motor analysis as you mentioned as well we know this ambitious agenda for the first 100 days per their confirmation battles that will come you'll be in middle as well we th thank you, senator we hope you come back and in the meantime happy new year. >> happy new year. shannon: up next bulkhead to the new congress and the other side of the aisle. congressman trent to a democrat who represents silicon valley was in on the fight over reporting high-tech workers as the america first coalition vows to fight back. so, we switched to tide free & gentle. it cleans better, and doesn't leave behind irritating residues. and it's gentle on her skin. tide free and gentle liquid is epa safer choice certified. it's gotta be tide.

>> i am not a democrat in the former with the democratic party is turned itself into, the national brand. absolutely not. the brand got so brad, that brand has been the soap malign from the standpoint it is toxic. shannon: retard west virginia et cetera joe manchin tough talk for the democrat party as he wraps up a decades long career as one of the strongest centrist voices in the upper chamber bridge i made out to react california congressman ro khanna welcome back. good to see us are. >> thank you shannon, thanks. shannon: give us a bit of vocals with needs to do introspection postelection. i got to get you your represent silicon valley on this h-1b issue i talks about senator schmitt. it's gotten really ugly of social media. part of that is gotten into culture but i want to read a

part of what vivek ramaswamy posted on x in talking about this preset part of it comes onto the seaward culture but american culture hasn't mediocrity over excellence for way too long. a culture that celebrates the prom queen over that math olympiad or the jock over the valedictorian will not produce the best engineers. nikki haley former ambassador responded to that saying there's something wrong with american workers or american culture. all you have to do is look at the border and see how many want what we have we should be investing in prioritizing and americans not foreign workers. what you make of this culture argument and the need to invest more in american workers, american students to make sure they are up to taking these jobs and there will not be as great a need to look overseas? >> american culture is extraordinary. i respectfully disagree. i was a valedictorian in my high school, they respected valedictorians and people who were exceptional at football and

music. what makes american culture extraordinary is that we celebrate the talent and genius of skills of people with diverse backgrounds but there's a reason america leads in physics and medicine, and in chemistry. if there is some problem with the culture we would not be the world's greatest economy of 30 trillion. one of the pointe elon and others are making what makes america exceptional as we are a magnet for the world's talent. it's great that elon musk comes here. it's great that jensen's start nvidia is doing it here and not in taiwan. we made a mistake when we lost morris chang he was an immigrant and educated mit but he leaves the united states and guess what, he starts taiwan semiconductors and now we do not have semiconductors in the united states. what the best talent coming here while performing the abuses of the h-1b program. shannon: this talk about that critics will say these are not always people specialized genius

level technology that people doing jobs that could go to americans. neil patel wrote a lengthy post people can check it out on x. i'm just going to read part of it he says big attack is the only group that benefits here it is not the foreign worker, stop the american worker the system keeps many workers in legal limbo often for decades. workers had done are less likey to negotiate salary and benefits that's why big tech loves hiring h1 b american workers who then have to compute the foreign workers are hurt by unfair labor conditions. he said the system is broken. it needs major reform if you do not see that you don't understand what's happening, or you are not being truthful. so let's talk about where you think there is room for reform. >> he is largely right on the need for reform i am a bipartisan bill which we introduced to the former representative david, frank up colón and i are on it. basically you cannot underpay h1

b folks coming in. you should not have a lower skilled things that could be done by american workers. you should not have that kind of category in the united states it should not be for accountants are entry level it jobs. have that balance. i hope president trump l senator schmitt said america's towns have been hollowed out workers and got a raw deal because offshore. let's be honest about this program but were talking 85000 people sometimes it goes up to 200,000 there too many exemptions how did we lose steel we want to bring back new jobs we need to have the investment and re- industrial that is what we should be talking about. shannon: when elon and vivek

there about the doge is people are calling it where do you think you or other democrats could work with them on cutting government waste? >> i've got some criticism on my side because i said i'm open to working to cut programs that are not competitive. the defense at budget 56% of discretionary budget is dominated by five primes. musk is saying maybe we can disrupt that and add new competition to have better national security strategy without all the waste. if there are real proposals to do that t than democrats should work with him. if there are duplicative agencies that are not deficient on taxpayer dollars, we should work with him. what i will not do a support cuts to social security, and he cuts to medicare, and he cussed a veteran benefits, any cuts to education programs at parents

rely on. there is no doubt there is wasted. where there is a waste we should work at putting the country first. shannon: let's get back to your ryourreflections. you wrote some tough truths after your loss of the white house house and senate. you said essentially they are not listening to people when they are suffering pain you say to got to do common sense on things like crime, safety, those kind of issues how has your analysis been received internally? do feel it democrats have a path forward? >> absent have a path forward but we need generational change. people are upset with the system. they're upset too many billionaires are spending money on our elections. they're upset politician offshore jobs have lost industry for decades. they are upset healthcare is being denied to too many americans. while this is going on young people in our party have been in congress are 20 or 30 years and are not change agents. we need a new generation to step up. we need people who are part of the failed status quo to step

aside the vibrancy of the democratic caucus with new generational leaders and some in the senate at what's going to revitalize this party. shannon: there is a piece on the hill is to get ready to come back here, swearing in of the new congress, got to elect a speaker and do all these thing. the. rick: held by two attorneys in congress is to block president t trump remain certified as the winner. they say democrats to take a stand against electoral college votes fo for person disqualifiey the constitution for holding office in them arguments about that. no less is required by their oath to support and defend the constitution. 92016 a number of democrats did push back against certifying the first wind by president trump. what you expect the same around? >> are going to certify the election pro plan to show up to the inauguration is not about president trump it's about honoring the american people. we've got to get past us and ethis andeverything as a partis. why put forward a proposal of comment reset sense on h1 b

reform why are you doing that? what the republicans fight. let them destroy each of the fighting. that is the wrong approach. we are americans aversive got to be solution oriented. the american people just elected donald trump i worked my heart out to oppose him. i went to every state but we lost the election. we respect the american people in nellis think about how we have a better message going forward. shannon: let's respond to janet rubin writes with the "washington post" democrats should not try to find common ground with trump. depress the high number of elected democrats are declaring their intent to find common growth present elect on donald trump and what she calls his crockpot cabinet pick certain naïve tone death and bipabipartisanshipfor bipartisa. she says you should not be doing it. your response? >> suited to look at issue by issue. no one is saying we should work with t republicans or donald trp if there's any proposal to cut social security.

or if there's a proposal to politicize a justice department or a proposal to abolish the department of education. of course democrats will oppose that with our values. but, if the present has a good idea to bring manufacturing back or to cut wasteful defense spending or to make our food system safer why wouldn't we want to work on part of politics folks are sick about what's good for america. what way th we they want is chae agents on the republican side there is a definite theme there. congressman will see it back here than they are thank you and happy new year. >> thank you, happy new year to you. shannon: disorder and the court let many now fear at the present

by and vetoed a bill that would have added 66 new federal judges to an understaffed judiciary. our panel wrecks or critics claims the move is a blatantly partisan when aimed at hindering president trump, next.

simple discipline resident, joe biden is down to give donald trump to add more conservativism

into reports bottom line. shannon: present by and between bipartisan legislation was just weeks left in office. that measure would've added 66 judges to what lawmakers on a bipartisan way had argued as a desperately understaffed federal court system critics called the room blatantly political. time for us in a group usa today white house correspondent francesca chambers axios political politics or portico author of the axios hill letters newsletter stef kight. former deputy senior advisor to hilary clinton and syndicated columnist cal thomas. welcome to all of you. let's start this bill present biden said this about why he vetoed it he said it would create new judgeships states where centers have sought to hold open existing judicial vacancies those efforts to hold up concerns about judicial economy and caseload are not the true motivating force behind passage of this bill now.

>> 's is turned into an issue where both parties are accusing the other one of playing politics. before the election and i said senate passed this unanimously but then the house did not take it up for a vote until after the election. we have democrats saying their house republicans only wanted to vote for it because donald trump had won the election and he would get to appoint a significant number of these judges into the role or as you have republicans accusing democrats of playing politics because house democrats did not want to vote for it and then biden end up issuing a veto of this. all around you have lawmakers sing the other side is at fault for this issue. thirty-six oh chris ken's democrat senator said this very sort of big sponsors of it. i am disappointed by the outcome from my own state and the federal judges throughout the country struggling under the burden of ever higher caseloads. i have worked on this bill for eight years thanks to tireless bipartisan effort with senator

young admitted to the president's desk. he is saying we wanted to get this done in a bipartisan way whoever was pumping the next president. >> he was right of course. look at what senator chuck schumer and joe biden did at the beginning of the biden administration. they had this clandestine wind meeting and came up with the plan to create as many federal judgeships with judges of the liberal constitution as possible. now we have a bill as you said passed unanimously supported and owned by crisco's but senator todd young of indiana and slipped on the other side. who knew washington played a politics is just amazing to me. but democrats for years beginning in prayer and the public schools and bible reading roe versus wade have using federal judges in this country to get policies enacted they knew they could not get through congress. both sides played this game and it's too bad. this adil was a real deal i think chris coons and senator

young deserve a lot of credit even though it has now been vetoed by the president. >> these judicial nominations and confirmations last away beyond any presidential term or two they have a ton of impacts for jonatper jonathan turley wen on this as well he called it the move abide by it and a disgrace he said the courts are overwhelmed by dockets of the parties without any resolution for years. 2004 the number of cases in district court pending for more than three years 18280 this year there's nearly 82000 cases that have been pending for more than three years. it takes a lot to get the case is moving. do you foresee may may be this effort being taken up again it's his second term but a new term for him. i could see this be taken up again judges are very important issue for both parties as we have discussed. mitch mcconnell was the one who wrote to the playbook for how to push through as many judges as possible in a single term. chuck schumer only recently

surpassed that in a single term just a week or two ago. these are important positions like you said they are long-term both the parties have an interest in getting things through. if you look at this actual piece of legislation it was crafted in a bipartisan way not giving all 66 of the new judges to any particular administration to feel it would spread it out over multiple administrations giving both parties and chances filling some of those. i can seat movement on this is not less so the number one priority for trump he is a list of policies the border, energy policies et cetera this may not be one of the first things we see get done but it's clear there's real bipartisan support we look at the center going to need bipartisan issues they can push through. >> first the supreme court justice merrick garland 10 years into his term would probably disagree. i do think with all respect to the senators it was naïve to think you can remove politics

from this topic in particular, judgeships. if we need another 66 or whatever it is, donald trump could add it to his day one agenda which i know it's arty crowded with about 100 other things he is controlling congress and the white house. they could sign that in but francesca alluded to it the theory behind removing the politics of it was to get the house and senate to approve this in august. mike johnson didn't. i don't if you don't have the confidence donald trump would win, but in any event apparently this is not the way to get politics out of judgeships but donald trump has another bite at the apple in about a month. shannon: will s kee see particur confidence acts used trump effect bullish over global economy survey finds they say present electrons election victory has produced soaring confidence in the global economy according to a new survey and outlook that always concerns

about tariffs, trade barriers into. that's very different than some of the predictions we heard about his impacts pre-election should he win. >> i remember the now former columnist in the "new york times" predicting a trump or elected in 2016 there be a depression. never mind. the confidence is warranted if trtrump maintains the tax cuts. mostly if vivek ramaswamy and elon musk get it. excellent drop in the bucket in a 36 trillion-dollar debt were interest this year lotus $1 trillion. we've got to cut the spending. no nation has ever been able to survive at this level of debt. shannon: is a public and the democrats who have contributed to that spending over the years. >> it's true it's which which party cares more about cutting spending depending upon who has power at the time. we've already seen that fight play out in congress already. one h and conservatives in the house demanding including any

kind of spending deal meanwhile president elect is asking for the debt ceiling to be eliminated. we are seeing that tension within the republican party to play out i'm sure we have not seen the end of that fight moving forward. shannon: as to these predictions axios had goldman pre-election is saying if he won again half a percentage point drag on gdp and the second half of 2025. they went on to note such productions did not age or older comes first when they asked. heavy growth, low unemployment and inflation amid trade wars. this is now goldman sach's postelection u.s. economy is poised to meet expectations in 2025. >> look, i hope naysayers who believe things go down, are wrong including anything that i said about donald trump's going to ruin the economy. i'm part of the economy and a side of my best interest but this is anticipatory. i'm sure of the fortune 500 ceos are watching they feel good. they feel good about tax cuts coming their way they're going

to benefit them. i wrote down a few things, 10 of the left 11 recessions gdp is 3.9% under democrats versus 2.4% of the republican s&p 500 has risen 11-point to percent per 6.9 under republican's my favorite, unemployment 72% of the job since world war ii have been under democratic presidents, 70 million over seven presidents. the habit this is histories not people guessing. the american economy has done a better under democrats for whatever reason we can probably debate. cokelp might not agree with me. but they have done a better if it is about ceos looking forward to their tax cuts or about what democrats have done for america i will go for this every single time. shannon: but quickly francesca, they felt the economy is not

working under this administration. >> are quite a few unknowns are the trump administration what he will end up doing he said he will put tariffs on a number of countries. those are believed to be a negotiating tactic how many of those we actually next? a jump of the tax cuts and jobs act will he pursue these policies? lawmakers want to to the border and immigration first before they get to that. will he cut the corporate tax rate for companies that produce or manufacturing in the night's of america? there are so many? about what order and combination of the economic policies in terms of the economic analysis of. >> when he won't do said he would and inflation on day one. i am no economist but that's not going to happen. shannon: [inaudible conversations] must believe. we've got a lot more to talk about the penalty before will get your winners and losers as we say goodbye to 24. and your predictions for 25, it may be on the economy. next. if you have heart failure

and hezbollah and ironic self this might sound boring but they did us, the unites it's a lot f good release of two worst terrorist organizations in the middle east. they do i run's bidding. iran themselves what kind of stupid shooting 300 missiles off and a 300 being shot down. i think that is great shape with the flip side is iran is the biggest loser. iran, north korea, russia are the three axes these days. russia is looking pretty bad they've they been mired in the r for three years and the united states is basically waiting to proxy wars without losing a single life i and a fair amountf low cost or treasury. shannon: to watch out israel patiently scripted some of those attacks years in advance, was a pretty stunning thing to watch. and you're loser is iran. steph, your winter? >> might winner was jon stone who pretty shortly after mitch mcconnell announced to be stepping down from his role as

senate republican leaders soon became the considered favorite he did survive two challengers from the other jaunts also rick scott who got a lot of momentum at the end from people very close to the president elect too. there were concerns a trump may weigh in against john thune. it seems he has at least made amends well enough they appear to be on good terms. he is moving forward and right now three seats feels quite roomy and congress parties going to have a little bit of wiggle room when he has the majority come january. it is rare that leading contender actually winds these days. the fact he managed to win the party and line and when the leadership election at the end of the day makes him a winner. shannon: is given an interesting slate to get through the process. >> beat matt gaetz fiasco ended pretty quickly. so we didn't have to deal with that. shannon: or loser is a democratic party? >> a little bit of a copout. shannon: i said that he is not

excited about that. >> is a rough year from joe biden health concerns, the age concerns, the fact we all watch the debates put him at the beginning of their they're coming off of record illegal border crossings in grappling with how they would respond to the issue that was becoming the issue of the election cycle. they never got a firm handle on how to respond to that issue politically. they had the joe biden debate, the kamala harris ascension only to have her lose resoundingly in every single battleground state. and now your saintly tension and vision play out on television screens with progressives saying they are the ones the party should be listening to an moderate sink no, we need to continue moving right in embrace more of the more conservative policies to win over the american people. it's just very hard to see who their leader is moving forward. shannon: kyle, your winners and losers? >> the biggest loser is that the democratic party is that media, same thing i repeat myself. they covered up or biden's

mental acuity decline. they covered up on the hundred biden laptop facebook and social media. they covered up the "new york post" story about hundred biden laptop. the 51 intelligence agencies and that russia, russia, russia thing signed off saying it was trooping the media followed all of this. it is a disgrace to the profession and i wish we get some new blood in the media to actually practice journalism instead of practicing politics. and my winter is outgoing senator joe manchin of west virginia. a true independent who puts his country first, his party second and himself third period i think he's gone out with great class and dignity and i salute him for that. i wish we had more of him. maybe it will cause me too rethink my position on cloning. shannon: are running yourself? >> no, no. [laughter] >> my runner up on the winner was the dakotas. you choke john thune there.

they have had a real run at it in terms you look at john thune's new position as well as the fact that chrissy known and doug b bergen getting positionsi went to florida partially in honor of you. the florida love here. but really you look at the people he has been taken you got susie wiles is way off teresa stafford marco rubio the florida center, a secretary state. and can be national security adviser michael wallace is also from florida. you also have brian at mass. two is now going to be the chair of the house foreign affairs committee. a lot of florida politicians under donald trump. i'm pam bondd the incoming trump administration. as the loser, not to be too trite as well, stephanie i picked kamala harris, cover the white house, covered the campaign now that she lost the

election but handed a losing campaign. she had three message try to turn it around regardless of the things that she did during that campaign to contribute to it whether it be the comment she wait on the view and not just distance yourself from biden. or not focusing on the economy as voters felt closer to the end of the election. she was handed a three month time frame in order to be able to try to do things that she could not get done. shannon: we literally have seconds left that once you have 1 cent out their production for 2025. >> executive orders. lots of executive orders from trump. >> taylor swift and travis kelce get engaged and it may be merit as soon as the lawyers can finish the prenup. shannon: i would take a while, details details because calvinism 2028 star starts to rise. shannon: is right on the court of record 2025 looks like 2017. shannon: meeting? looks a lot of dysfunction from 2017 if you do not learn from history repeat it. but more importantly i think your ratings continue to

skyrocket. [laughter] thirty-six with continued appearances from all of you. >> living the dream progress help 2024 in terms of the chiefs super bowl champion. shannon: will leave it there panel thank you very much happy new year to all of you. tonight marks the fifth night of hanukkah it will show how the museum of the bible here in d.c. is sharing the bible of light and honoring their remarkable history and traditions of the jewish people, next. i love that my daughter still needs me. but sometimes i can't help due to burning and stabbing pain in my hands, so i use nervive. nervive's clinical dose of ala reduces nerve discomfort in as little as seven days. now i can help again feel the difference with nervive.

words of the torah. >> have to have a thought process that every single letter i am writing is the word of god himself. >> the history of religious tradition and its impact to the ages is an experience that is shared across many faiths particularly during this festive time of year. >> we have to understand that the foundation is the same for everybody who embraces the bible the foundation is the same and it all started right there. >> it takes us through so much of what the jewish people suffered. where they triumphed. all of this different things.

it is the dna of the world in history of the world. >> the museum's collection includes rare editions of the hebrew bible. along with its crown jewel of the newly unveiled afghan prayer book which dates all the way back to the eighth century. >> the earliest jewish prayer book that was found in the modern state of afghanistan. it really is a jewish treasure. they are just stunned and they are amazed that this is here in washington, d.c. >> next year another treasured artifact is set to make its home at the museum. we got a look at the ancient manuscripts when they visited the reagan library earlier this month. >> they are the oldest known manuscript of the hebrew bible. but christians may call the old testament. this is one of the most intact

and you can see where it is in its completeness. only slight damage on the fringes. this contains what did not make it into the book of psalms but speak about king david. visitors can experience the rich history through the museum's thousands of current exhibits just-in-time for hanukkah. >> hanukkah is about the freedom they brought when they brought to light back to the temple. so many ways in the world right now that need new light. maybe someday we can get back to that concept all around the world. >> absolutely remarkable pieces of history over there. happy hanukkah to everyone celebrating tonight and beyond. that is it for us today. thank you for joining us. wishing you and yours a happy and healthy 2025. we will see you next year for "fox news sunday." ♪ jays jays
