and thank you to andy biggs and co-chair babin for leading this. we know the numbers the biden administration helped well over 12, 13 million illegals to invade our country the past four years, some, two, three million of which are known got-aways and these are the ones with the criminal ties ap the terrorist backgrounds and the ones trafficking the terrible things into our country. we know hundreds of thousands of felons who are here illegally, and this has all been done on purpose by the biden administration. democrats believe that everybody around the world, the seven billion people who don't live in the united states have the right to come here with no limit legally or illegally. now that the border will begin to be sealed come january 20, we're going to find out who is here. when their accomplices can no longer stream unrestricted across the border sad is a-- sadly, we are going to find out who is here. that's why tom homan on the direction of president trump to have this massive deportation is so important and so criminal, literally, for thes

so andy biggs, gibson was to pick what's at the freedom caucus doing on china? what she would be doing? how can the american people help in the fight against china? and are we at war with china? >> so people need to quit thinking of china as a peaceful economic adversary or economic opponent. that's up with the art. they're not an economic competitor. china has over the last essentially 25 years moved itself away from a full on communist economy to some kind of hybridization of economy while maintaining the same type of communist authoritarian rule that they have had going back to mao and through done shopping, et cetera. so what we need to do -- deng xiaoping -- freedom caucus doesn't take a formal position but we need to do is look back at some of the trade restrictions that we had in place when we were in the cold war with russia and actually pre-clinton era china. the reason i say that is because if you look at the blue water navy china has to do it was building up, we gave that to if you look at the high-tech rocket telemetry the have which allows for missi

so you have a republican from arizona and andy biggs. he had a slightly different message of the republican caucus. in the aftermath of january 6. his ire was ames that democrat certainly but it liz cheney for taking on trump. he accused her of giving aid and comfort to democrats. said they're noto just an opponent they are an adversary trying to wipe this country out and change it forever. it strikes me that quote is heavy with meaning. because it is sort of, it is swhat is driving so much of american politics now. we talked about tropism, we were talking before we came out here about the senate race in pennsylvania right now. donald trump has endorsed doctor oz. there is another candidate who spent $40 million or something a woman was very likely going to win that primary or certainly could who spent virtually nothing but is in steve abandons or ultra mega to the right of trump and all of them. what does this say about the state of republican politics? >> the notion. >> was at a leading question? [laughter] i think it is. i am willing

so you have a republican from arizona now named andy biggs and he had a slightly different message in the republican caucus. in the aftermath of january 6th and his ira was aimed not a demo not not well a democrat certainly, but at least cheney for for for taking on trump. and he accused of aid in comfort to democrats and he said they're not just an opponent. they're an adversary that's trying to wipe this country out and change it forever. yeah, and it strikes me that that quote. >> it strikes me that that quote is heavy with meaning because it is what is driving so much of republican politics now. we talk about trumpishim and the senate race in pennsylvania, donald trump is endorsed doctor ours, there's another candidate who spent $40 million or something and a woman who is going to very likely when that primary or certainly could who has spent virtually nothing, buddies, but is, in steve bannon's words ultra amag 8, to the right of trump and all of them. what does this say about the state of republican politics? >> the notion -- >> are is that a leading question? >> i think it is,

ii think the sentiment behind what andy biggs said is so pervasive in republican politics even among people who are comparatively ideologically mainstream. people who aren't way out there with right-wing policy ideas that feel like theik democrats e out to take this country apart. when you see the other party that way it makes the basic runnings of american politics impossible. i think it leads to a couple of different things but one of them is we have written so many times including this book about trump's control of the republican party. there's a study in trump controlling the republican party. he has not been able to make dr. is the decisive front-runner butn his politics are in control of the republican party in pennsylvania. kathy burnett is in many ways more trump than trump and she's out there for phrasing that trump doesn't control the movement. t and that's a of a signal about the overall republican politics in its ominous for donald trump personally. the point at which the next generation of revolutionaries starts to say the guy who led them on thehe long march is notn con

strained, must not break our bonds of affection so you have a republican from arizona now named andy biggs and he had a slightly different message in the republican caucus in the aftermath of january 6 and he was named -- at democrats such as cheney were taking on trump and he accused her of aid and comfort to democrats and he said they are not just an opponent, they are an adversary trying to wipe this country out and change it forever and it strikes me that quote is heavy with meaning because it is what is driving so much of republican politics now and we talk about tropism, we were talking before we came out here about this senate race in pennsylvania right now, donald trump endorsed doctor ollis. there's another candidate who spent $40 million or something and a woman who's likely going to win the primary or certainlyo could spent virtually nothing but is ultra mega to the right of trump and all of them. what does this say about theat state of republican politics? >> the notion that -- >> is not a leading question? [laughter] >> i think it is but i'm willing to be led on this. at this

one of your colleagues andy biggs said the debt limit should not be breached. you agree, or should not be lifted. do you agree? >> my position on the debt ceiling vote is that our current debt is entirely unsustainable, and if we don't have a deal for any sort of budget reform by the time that vote happens, that's going to be very problematic and is that something i'm going to be supportive of. if you look at, obviously inflation is still a major issue, spending, debt, deficit allat those things play into how we get out of the rising costs. of goods everywhere across the united states. if you think about it, the last time budget we have any sort of balance budget was when president clinton was in office in 1998. prefer that it that it was under president nixon in 1970. i fault both sides can both democrats and republicans, for the deficit spending and the debt issues we are facing today. both sides need to be held accountable. this shouldn't be an argument that hey, we're not going to do any budget reform and get have this debt ceiling vote next week. it's sort

andy biggs had to have that number check and it was right.uring and is causing a job crisis for black and populations but that's what's happening. and are losing their jobs. you have millions of people pouring in people that have had their jobs that it done their jobs for years losing their jobs and it started with the and black populations. they do want to show you all the jobs that black and hispanics are losing. i've seen the numbers. when you see the numbers the election will be over probably although 818,000 jobs were fraudulently put on the rolls by these crooked guys in washington. they and cheated me said we had come to think of this 818,000 jobs and we had a whistleblower because they wanted to replace it after the election. we have a whistleblower and wherever that whistleblower was, thank you very much whistleblower. we appreciate that. think of that. even after all the pain and suffering that she has caused when, with after she would do anything differently she said she wouldn't change, not one thing. let's watch. [inaudible] [ina

i am going to vote for andy biggs. there are 221 alternatives.y much. >> republican main street caucus leadership kelly armstrong and dusty jackson, we will take your questions. there is real work to get done. we need to secure the border, address inflation, return fiscal sanity to this town. none of that can happen as long as we have 10 or 15 members holding back this progress. our group is a group of 70 to 80 pragmatic conservatives who want to make progress on the border and spending. you already heard frustration was rising in the room because 10% of the conference thinks they get to tell the other 90% when we get to start work. we remain unified. kevin mccarthy is the right guy to lead the conference, the right guy to be speaker of the house. >> the american people are frustrated. they see one party democrat rule for the past two years and don't like it which is why they elected a republican majority in the house. it is time to step up and lead. the individuals opposing mccarthy half moved the goalposts time and again. in the beginning they

the conference voted him, voted 85% for him, 15% for andy biggs that ran against him.nt to coalesce around the one who one especially with that huge majority. i asked the folks who were opposing him what's your alternative? they don't have one. it's time to come together as a team, and teams win. when you have i call them cowboys splinter off, they divided team, they weaken the team. that's unacceptable. i'm one of the folks are playing hardball back to we will not be held hostage by a small number of people that's going to hurt the team so we are going to t stand up to this. so yes, i support kevin mccarthy.pp after the vote with 85% we all went to the team to come together and work as a team and. >> host: you probably saw the headline or lease the story from the omaha world herald about saying you would reach across town to find a more moderate person if indeed kevin mccarthy can't get the vote. et cetera? >> guest: if we let multiple votes for leader mccarthy, and as long as he wants to stay in the fight we will support them. but at some point is five or six people

why not let andy biggs in? they wouldn't let him in. they stopped in. what are the democrats hiding that the don't want to be seen? let's have an open and fair process. let's have the president, let's cross examination, let's have have witnesses on both sides. let mckinley, and ambassador i saw yesterday, he got exacerbated with adam schiff trying to create smoke or trying to find every little word to indicate a donald trump was doing a bad job and receive got fired. he resigned because he's an older gentleman and he didn't want to do in more. >> host: mckinley testified yesterday. yesterday was gordon sondland. did you go to any of that? >> no. i had another event. >> host: we want to thank you for your time this morning. delicate stacey plaskett outer table again this morning. we want to be with your thoughts on the passing of congressman elijah cummings and what it's like to serve with him on the oversight committee. >> guest: this would've been my third term with mr., cut oversight. he would was a mentor to me in many ways. you've heard so many refl

we have andy biggs who is resident scholar of the american enterprise institute for public policy research. and formerly principal deputy commissioner of the social security administration. and house majority leader steny hoyer. now in his 15th term representing the fifth district of maryland. let's start if we might have questions -- >> i don't have a question but i want to apologize because i'm going to have to leave because as i've told my other panelists, i have a meeting in southern maryland about an hour and a half from here. at 6:30. so it's a little more than an hour and a half. but i want to thank all the panelists. i think one of the things that you saw -- and you have a variety of different shades of conservative to progressive liberal -- whatever you want to call it on this panel. but i think you see an almost unanimity of view on, a, the scope of the problem. and the places where we need to look. and so i feel very comfortable that the answers they give for the most part -- novelli will be here to protect me on the healthcare bill. which i do believe is going to bring down cos

matt gaetz is among hem, andy biggs, he's running for speaker, and currently they're saying they're a hard no on kevin mccar hawaii. .. karen what is her sense of what concessions is making to the various people he's talking to an order to gain their support? >> guest: he will have to make some pretty major rules, concessions. one instance is a motion to vacate the chair which is mechanism used by the freedom caucus during speaker boehner im a term which makes it, which lessens the power of leadership and that something my car they came into this processy havinga pretty hard line on. he doesn't want to be yanked away like these members are proposing but thinking of how we have to move on that to make it easier for thatt mechanism to happen if you want to support. >> host: one of the things jim, has an op-ed on the "wall street journal" today set to become the chair the oversight committee and investigations seems to be one of the things that will focus on in the next congress. what is a plan from republican leadership to focus on investigations would also make legislative efforts as w

you now, i'd like to yield to my good friend from arizona, andy biggs. >> thank you for being here and i thank chairman goode pan chairman perry and my colleagues behind me. you know just yesterday, it's ironic senator braun's resolution that the national debt is a security crisis a cuassed you see in the senate. ironic isn't it? when i introduced that piece of legislation several years ago, there were $21 trillion in national debt. speaker at the time wouldn't let that the floor. and now we're sitting at 34 1/2 trillion rolling it up about a trillion every 100, 120 days in national debt. new national debt. and the same yo-yos that just passed acknowledged that a national debt is a security threat they're going to take this package and they're going to pass it. that's what's going to happen unless sanity begins to rule. now, if we take a look at the budget controlling act, requires 12 appropriation bills be passed in this body where the we original spending bills and it gets to the senate, we're supposed to get to the senate by june 30th of every year. you know the last time that happe

andy biggs of arizona, who has done work on our subcommittee on this issue. mr. biggs: thank you. i thank mr. mcclintock for yielding. again, our hearts go out to the laken riley family. we think about them, this bill is named for laken riley, but it has an impact far greater. but once again we must acknowledge that we can no longer take the fayned empty words -- fained empty -- feigned empty words of sympathy because they refuse to do anything meaningful to stop the carnage or even slow down the border surge that's been going on. illegal aliens who commit crimes must not be released into our communities. our colleagues can't even use the term of art that's in the statute. illegal alien. they can't even use that. they conflait legal immigration with -- conflate legal immigration with those who enter our country illegally. they call them undocumented immigrants. that's what they do. they don't ever stand up for the american people. and instead of taking the mandate of an overwhelming popular vote victory, and electoral college victory by this coming in president, donald trump, on t

he didn't have a word of testimony from jim jordan we didn't have a word of ttimony from andy biggs. we do not have a word of testimony from kevin mccarthy we did not have a word of testimony from brooks. nor do we receive a single document from scott perry. nor didnt we receive a single document from jim jordan. from and eat big storm to receive a document from kevin mccarthy. nor did he receive a single docume are talking about one 100% noncompliance obstruction when told the attorney general united states of america and contempt for 99.99% compliance with but they are saying now. one 100% compliance in reality for what it was the committee asked for. >> again i regret german jordan did not see fit to come and testify today. i would have liked to have heard question. i like to point out for the record hunter biden was found guilty by a jury of his peers in a case of prosecuted by a u.s. attorney appointed by president trump. presided over by federal judge appointed by presidenter trump. investigated by the fbi wit director appointed by president trump. you do not hear anybody you d
