5:24 am
absolutely. at newday usa, that's what we're doing. we put our arm around the veterans. when i think of the veteran out there that needs to refi his home, he may want to purchase and we can help them and provide that financial solution for them and their families. it's a great, rewarding feeling. everybody in the company, they have that deference and that respect and that love for the veteran that makes this company so unique. i told myself i was ok with my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms... ...with my psoriatic arthritis symptoms. but just ok isn't ok. and i was done settling. if you still have symptoms after trying a tnf blocker like humira or enbrel, rinvoq works differently. rinvoq is a once-daily pill that can rapidly relieve joint pain, stiffness, and swelling as fast as 2 weeks for some. and even at the 3-year mark, many people felt this relief. rinvoq can stop joint damage. and in psa, can leave skin clear or almost clear. rinvoq can lower ability to fight infections.

5:29 am
dying to see how this works out. >> charlie: only reason i get up at 4:00 in the morning is duck hunting, i have a new reason, it will be great. >> steve: we will all tune in on saturday morning to see you and rachel. tonight joe biden is going to stay right there in the oval office at the resolute desk and have a farewell address. we just got an excerpt from it. he will say, today we have the strongest economy in the world and created record 16.6 million jobs, wages are up, inflation continues to come down. racial wealth gap is coming down. we are rebuilding our nation, violent crime rate is a 50-year low. he makes that sound fantastic. he is deeply unpopular when you look at the polls because he let
5:30 am
so many people down. not just inflation, it is the border. peter doocy just talked about that. he will not talk about that stuff. >> charlie: he probably doesn't want us to fact check the details, it would get ugly. some kudos, this is end of a 50-year career. 50 years since joe biden went to washington for the first time. it is pretty extraordinary historic moment, his swan song year after a very, very long career here. the problem, though, as you just pointed out, he did get fact checked by the american people in the last election. not only did his party lose trying to make these arguments that the american people don't believe. he didn't make it to the actual
5:31 am
general election. he got beaten back in the summer. you know, it is always a problem if you're a politician and yelling at voters saying you don't know how good you have it. crime is down, you have more money in your pocket, that is never a winning message for a politician and i think he is faced ultimate decision on that, which is why he's leaving office. >> steve: that is right. he'll give that speech tonight 8:00 from the resolute desk. noon on monday, resolute desk will belong to donald trump, who will be wrapping up his inaugural address. he has close to 100 executive orders on the abortion -- the border and energy dominance, one thing chris wright energy secretary nominee will be asked
5:32 am
about today. today is mr. wright's 60th birthday. happy day, tough day, as well. >> charlie: it sure will be. as joe biden leaves office, he's left executive orders of his own for the come incoming administration to clean up. chris wright, nobody in america has done more to advance exploration of clean energy like natural gas, which use to be what environmentalists loved, now they -- i think they don't like it because it is a good solution >>. it is going to be what we see in hearings today >> it will be a fascinating day of hearings as well the coming weeks. >> steve: indeed. charlie, congratulations, see you saturday morning. >> charlie: thank you, steve. great to see you. >> steve: and good luck.

5:39 am
hour winds today. we have offshore weekends, high pressure anchored across the great basin and winds continue to blow through the mountains and dangerous situation until 3:00 p.m. elevated fire danger and tomorrow elevated danger but good news is winds come onshore, relative humidity goes up, weekends will go down and firefighters can help with that. coldest air of the season, maybe coldest in a decade across portions of lower 48 next week. that will be our next big story. over to you. >> brian: thank you. an hour from attorney general nominee pam bondi senate confirmation hearing, she is expected to face questions on politicizing investigation, weaponization of the federal government. chuck grassley is leading the
5:40 am
hearing and will join us with a preview. you have been through this before. you are as excited as your first time. your thoughts what pam bondi li will face today? >> she'll get tough questions about things she said in the 2020 election, maybe things that are her own private business that show some conflict. but she's going to have to be well received because of her eight years as attorney general in florida. she is well qualified for this job and committed to carrying out mandate of the november 5 election where the president said he would restore law and order. this trump dosj under bondi wil be law enforcement agency and will not use it for political weaponry against their political
5:41 am
opponents as biden doj did. those are things that will reestablish credibility of the doj and i think maybe one of her big responsibilities is going to be to make sure that the fbi has a short leash and does what they are supposed to do, investigate crime instead of being used as political weapon against a presidential candidate. >> brian: kash patel is waiting on paperwork. by the way you thought pam bondi has good chance of going through. your thoughts on kash patel candidacy? >> i think that he knows that the problem with the fbi is people at central headquarters here, particularly on top floor of the hoover building and i think he's going to make radical
5:42 am
changes that need to be done because what goes on at the political level of the fbi has hurt the credibility throughout the rank and file. i think the rank and file does their job of law enforcement, they get bad reputation because people at the top that see political motive behind some things they do, it is investigations they do. >> brian: kash will be in front of you shortly. but with pam bondi, it is a two-step process, she speaks anden this there will be witnesses from democrats and know ares, can you explain that? >> yeah, i don't know how many committees do it this way, often done in judiciary committee, we have candidate for one meeting one day and the next day,
5:43 am
opponents and proponents of the candidate can come and speak and answer questions. second day is not quite as important as first day, it is tradition of judiciary committee to do that. >> brian: senator, can i marvel at something. you are none years old, sharp as ever, all this energy, how do you do it? >> well, first of all, i'm in office because voters of iowa voted me in by a wide margin, that is how you do it m politically. physically, i used to call it running, now i call it shuffling along. if it hadn't been eight degrees windchill this morning, i was going to get up at 4:00 and go. i woke up and decided it was to cold. i make a habit of getting out every morning. >> brian: that does it, fitness

5:57 am
crowd going. can you describe what your journey with president trump is liked? you were welcomed at the white house dating back to bush 41. >> i never knew when i wrote the line would mean i'm standing next to the president of the united states while singing. this is as you said, i'm a reaganite and go back to those days and traveling with 41 on campaign tour. for the second time with the president we all love and america loves him because of the way he was elected with the total popular vote and here we are now just a few days away from the swearing in. i just can't wait. you know what is interesting. president trump will put his hand on the bible when he swears to protect the united states from within and without. you can still get that bible, by the way. >> lawrence: you've been with the president-elect for a long
5:58 am
time now. why do you have so much faith in the man? >> he is undeterred from saying he wants to put america first. you can joke all you want about maga but we want to make america what it was in the days before when my father served in the navy. and this country was actually a super power with a bee con of light to find the freedom and life we enjoy as americans. donald trump is determined to make that country great again from whatever use he has to do. >> ainsley: i've been with you. i remember we were at a charity event in north carolina and you sang on stage. everyone stood up, most of the room had never heard you sing that song live in person. and there probably was not a dry eye in the room. such a powerful song. so on inauguration day, hear ymca and hear you sing.
5:59 am
what is your reaction when you look around and you know you wrote that song for america, and you see the reaction that you get from the crowd? >> there is always different kind of emotions i feel. from delight, excitement, to empathy, to allegiance to our military particularly if i see someone in the audience in uniform. we will. i will be singing with the united states marine corp band. i've done that a couple of times. as we gear up for american spirit tour starting right after the swearing in ceremony in florida, we'll be singing a brand-new revamped tour and excited that we'll be able to tour this year knowing that america now will be a bright new day because of president trump. >> steve: that day is monday. ainsley mentioned the ymca. we'll see president trump do the trump dance to that. to your song, that's the dance
6:00 am
right there. your song is the only song i've ever seen him sing along to. >> you know, i've been on stage with him and we emulate the trump -- sometimes on my show i will just kind of do that just once and the audience goes crazy. it is awful fun. it is a lightness. i think we have to have a lightness about it. we can't be serious all the time in order to have america feel good about itself. >> brian: give you some advice, under armor and sing strong because you will have the biggest crowd in the history of inaugurations. just watch. >> i'm excited to be there. my wife says hi and ainsley, congratulations. >> ainsley: the nicest lady, thank you so much. >> steve: god bless the usa. >> brian: stay within yourself. >> bill: good morning, everybody. a busy day on the hill so hold tight for this. you've got senat
