republican congressman andy biggs of arizona with a recent opinion piece titled america last. democrats push mass migration, ignore voters. he serves on the judiciary committee and as the co-chair of the border security caucus he is joining me live now. congressman, good to see you. correct me if i'm wrong here, but arizona, a battleground state, went for president-elect trump in november. border security was one of the most important issues nationwide. so what do these people think they're doing here? >> you are right, trump won by nearly 200,000 votes in arizona. it was a big win for him. republicans won up and down the ballot and border security was the top issue. so you have a governor now, our governor and mayor of tucson have said they won't cooperate. so they are missing the boat on what their citizens want and also what the law requires. i believe that under this administration, which will be different than the last one, aishah, you will actually see a department of justice go after those official eaves who are actually aiding and abetting and violating the law. >> ais

congressman andy biggs of the oversight committee weighs in in a moment. first to griff jenkins with more. >> good morning. a lot to unpack. let's start with the document in question. known as a 1023 form dated june of 2020 alleging then vice president biden was involved in a bribery scandal. co comer and raskin saw it. >> this document is not even classified. what is the first thing that director wray said? he didn't even acknowledge whether he had it. he said he wouldn't provide it. i had a phone call and explained if he doesn't provide this we'll hold him in contempt. now he said yes, we do have the document but he will only show it to the chairman and ranking member. that is not how the constitution works. >> after viewing the document, comer and raskin walked away. >> the investigation is not dead. it is only the beginning. it appears this investigation is part of an ongoing investigation which i assume is in delaware. so we feel that this accusation is consistent with a pattern that we're seeing, frankly, in other countries, too. >> sources tell fox

congressman andy biggs of arizona, member of the house oversight and judiciary committees. great to have you in "focus" today. was it planned for the eight of you to vote against kevin mccarthy? was it a voting block-type situation? >> well, i think we talked about it, yeah. i don't know if i would say it was a plan to vote against him. i think when this started taking place, yeah, i was intending to vote against mccarthy. i had no idea the democrats would come on board until sometime yesterday. it wasn't that i was asking them to come on board. my position was always clear because i believe that speaker mccarthy not as a person. he is a nice enough fellow. but as a leader, he had failed not just the conference but the country in my opinion. >> harris: everything has come to a standstill right now, everything. and i know that maybe the pushback would be well those subpoenas and those investigations are going on. you need a speaker of the house to act on the subpoenas. that's one thing promised to the american people. i want to get a handle on what happens as the business is

former freedom caucus chairman andy biggs of arizona has officially announced his plans to vie for speaker. that is unless kevin mccarthy agrees to certain demands. >> we have a new paradigm here. the country wants a different direction from the house of represe representatives. it's a new world. kevin has raised a lot of money and done a lot of things. it is not just about kevin. it is about institutional direction and trajectory and we'll see if we have enough people who agree we need to change the trajectory of this place and open it up. >> harris: mike waltz sees it this way. >> we have a serious debate. we have a leadership election today for kevin mccarthy with a very narrow majority and that is really going the play out on january 3rd. there are some people that aren't sure how it will play out. i support kevin mccarthy. we need to unify and we need to figure out what the hell happened in the mid-terms. >> harris: in focus former utah congressman and oversight committee chairman as well jason chaffetz. first senior congressional correspondent chad pergram. >> good morning. the g.o.p

arizona congressman andy biggs recently took a trip to the border. the co-chair of the house border security caucus. congressman biggs, when you see the reporting that bill just brought us and when you share with us what you've seen and when you put it all together where are we now with this? >> it's the worst situation i've seen on the border in all the years i've gone to the border. it is tragic what is happening in del rio but at the same time don't forget you still have 3,000 people crossing the border every day in rio grande val ee. you have yuma that took about 800 a day. just over the weekend and now they hit 1,000 a day almost. you have the tucson sector that folks are pouring over. this is places, harris, you know this area, where normally you have small groups two and three and five who are trying to hideout. right now you are seeing groups of 150 or 100 come over. san miguel in the middle of nowhere. this is as bad as it has ever been and del rio is bringing a spotlight to the entire border. >> harris: we've seen a lot of tough images in t

andy biggs and now bill melugin. bill? >> good morning to you.ews to report, just not one of the largest single groups of migrants who have ever seen cross illegally here in eagle pass, texas. we pull up our live drone right now, border patrol tells us it is a group of approximately 450 to 500 migrants who have all crossed over in this one single group. i am told they are predominately from cuba, venezuela, and nicaragua. some of the migrants have been loaded into the buses, so the numbers you are seeing aren't as big, but this is a massive single group. this right here is what drastically overwhelms border patrol resources. agents have to show up with multiple buses, do all this paperwork for probably the next couple of hours, and what does this do? this pulls agents off the front lines elsewhere. they will not be able to stop drug runners coming across or runners trying to sneak into the country. they instead have to deal with this almost 500 family units, the mixture of single adults. we see kids breaking them into different rooms here. you ca

congressman andy biggs had this to say. >> it mentions there were things like search warrants and proceduralors. we need to get to the bottom of it. chris wray testified they always follow the predicates and rules. have they corrected these? who was targeted? why they were targeted and how these errors might have impacted these investigations? >> harris: how do you investigate the investigators? >> you have an outside investigator. inspector general. i would call upon an outside investigation by the inspector general. you can't do this now internally. i was a federal prosecutor for many years. i respected the weight of authority and power that a federal prosecutor and f.b.i. agent has. if that power is abused there is nothing worse. so what it sounds to me like what is happening is f.b.i. agents are running around in a rogue fashion not consulting with the prosecutor like myself who would guide them to what the law requires but starting their own investigations, not working with the prosecutor or going through proper channels of review, not only within the f.b.i. but you know i was in the pu

andy biggs called them demonic. cassie. >> this is cold, heartless and extreme.eal to her far left wing base to turn out that vote. it is turning off the moderates and independents. even pro-choice republicans that i know who say that's why i can't vote for a democrat. their position is too extreme and not focusing on helping the economy making us energy independent or tax cut. >> harris: i will bring you both back on another day. we have breaking news. i look forward to that. thank you both. thank you for watching "the faulkner focus".

republican congressman andy biggs, member of the house oversight and house judiciary committee, great you to have "in focus." what's the immediate response on the hill? it wasn't just conservative or republican voters? those of you whose very jobs it is to get to the bottom of things, you were shut down. >> yeah. i think the immediate reaction is, is there's arrange and anged frustration. we want to get to the bottom of this. people like you and me were shut down, called conspiracy theorists, had their reputations savaged, doctors, virologists, who questioned the orthodoxy also. there's an intense desire on the part of republicans here on capitol hill, and i hope democrats will join us, to get to the bottom of this, because, harris, this is bigger than even the censorship. this is bigger than what caused this. remember, they were talking, you know, some wet market in china had caused this initially. but it's beyond that, because you have to know what happened. there's also the potential connection that we as u.s. citizens through our government, we're helping to fund this type of rese

andy biggs of arizona was in the room. biggs believe the president is compromised. democrats say no way. >> i think that is completely absurd and i have no idea where he finds any facts or evidence to support that. so i have a lot of respect for congressman biggs but that's just a flat out lie. >> the white house says republicans keep promising to deliver bombshell evidence but continue to come up short. the next thing to look for is the transcript of archer's interview. harris. >> harris: chad, thank you for getting us started. so many opinion pieces on this. many of them raising troubling questions particularly about influence peddling. a couple of examples. devon archer revealed exactly what hunter was selling, joe biden. and the biden brand. in "focus" now republican congressman of texas member of the house oversight committee. great to see you. i'm wondering if anybody asked the follow-up about those phone calls. how is it even possible that the president would not have been told either before or after who was on that line? national security rests on his should

republican congressman andy biggs of arizona, member of the house oversight and judiciary committee, co-chairman of the border security caucus, great to have you in "focus" and get your perspective on how things got started yesterday and where you think we sit with mayokas? is he going to quit? >> you know, harris, i watched much of that hearing and particularly the cruz/mayokas interaction. i will just tell you, as tough as cruz was on mayokas, mayokas deserves it. i think he should be removed from office if he won't leave. what he has done, the result of his policies. these are his -- he is directing this. it has been hundreds of thousands of deaths, untold amount of criminal conduct. we have terrorists that have entered the country. harris, we don't control the border and he won't even bother to say it is a border crisis. it is just unbelievable. >> harris: i was already off the air, went back to my office and watched it on c span. i couldn't stop watching it. it was unbelieve ashley to see the man in charge of homeland security not be able to explain why the border is not secure

. >> andy biggs saying he would be happy to show the white house the real deal. in a letter to the press secretary. given that neither you nor president biden have ever visited the southern border. i would like to extend you an invitation to participate in a border tour along the arizona/mexico border with me. the president is not interested in the border because you know what? those are republican states. he only goes to democratic states alienating half our country. >> in his speech last night he talked about republicans oppose rule of law. who isn't enforcing the law? who is it who opposes rule of law on the border? the ignorance to say people aren't walking into the united states. how do you think they are getting across the rio grande and other places going through customs and immigration the way you come here properly if that's what you want to do. you know, this administration has lost the moral ability to make a distinction between people who come to america for a wonderful opportunity coming legally and those coming illegally in violation of our laws. th

the opposition is planning on voting instead for arizona representative andy biggs and then perhaps unveiling candidate in the second round of voting. some are calling this now the biggest crisis in the g.o.p. for some decades and mccarthy himself just moments ago saying we may have a battle on the floor later today. >> harris: all right. aishah, a lot of good information to take forward with the congressman mike waltz of florida. thank you very much. let's get into it with republican mike waltz from florida now. i thought it was interesting virginia congressman bob good, republican, had a point. republicans have every right to do this. isn't this what we saw on the left when nancy pelosi faced a challenge from representative tim ryan among the democrats? >> yeah, thanks for having me, harris. look, the thing i think so many of us are so frustrated about is that this stand-off is over a lot of procedural stuff frankly. five members to vacate the speaker, one member to vacate the speaker. every american i talked to back home in florida doesn't understand this stuff. it is a bunch of procedural

and in the interview, republican congressman andy biggs asked archer, when you say biden family, you are talking about joe biden? archer responds, "yeah, that is fair to say. i don't think about it joe directly but that is fair." that routes the most value to the brand. hunter biden used his data as "defensive leverage for foreign business partners" pure democratic santa missed the sayg he was talking about the weathes key, archer says they were to talk about the weather. and that was signaling them to be powerful. goldman then asked, "this was about to protecting the allusion to access to his father, is that right?" archer says, "that is correct." >> i understand the democrats have to play defense and pretend they don't understand it. but to any normal person, this story is not complicated. you had a guy no skills, no professional ability making money in kazakhstan, romania, russia, and china. now if his name had been hunter smith, it would not have made a dime. the fact is he was playing off of his father. and we now know despite joe biden's lies, that, in fact, biden was part of t

arizona congressman andy biggs. biden's press conference is a joke. the only plan he has for covid is to continue manipulating mandates to maintain control over you. and this from our own tucker carlson. >> if you have had three vaccine injections you can celebrate christmas. that's the word from our botox napoleon. otherwise you can't celebrate christmas. maybe they'll tell us you can't vote in person without a vaccine. that's coming obviously. >> harris: white house correspondent peter doocy has more on this. peter. >> the president over the last couple most blaming his predecessor that he thinks were made in the earliest days of the pandemic. as stuff starts to shut down again biden is insisting it is different this time. >> president biden: another question folks are asking is are we going back to march 2020? not this last march 2021, but march 2020 when the pandemic first hit. that's what i keep getting asked. the answer is absolutely no, no. >> just like march of 2020, covid tests are very hard to get. store shelves are empty. in-person sites ha

optimistic about the party unity despite a challenge for the speaker job from arizona congressman andy biggs. president biden reached out to congratulate kevin mccarthy in a statement claiming he will work with republicans to, quote, deliver results for working families. here is kevin mccarthy last night on hannity. >> we need to work together. you are right. we're the only republican entity that can stop this disastrous biden agenda. think for one moment. it is official. one party democrat rule in washington is finished. we have fired nancy pelosi. >> harris: okay. so now that she doesn't have that job, what job will she have? per spokesperson says will announce today whether she will continue her two decades of leading democrats or step aside. with the new majority oversight committee republicans are wasting no time. they will investigate the president and his family on several fronts and at the same time advance the party's agenda. >> joe biden is the big guy. this evidence raises troubling questions whether president biden is a national security risk and about whether he is compromised b

and doing their own thing in eagle pass today away from the speaker's event including matt gaetz, andy biggsy are willing to shut this government down if this border isn't fixed. take a listen. >> no more money for this bureaucracy of his government until you brought the border under control. shut the border down or shut the government down. >> we're all committed to that. there is a national security issue that is being taking place here on the southern border and that's what it is going to take to hold this administration accountable. >> speaker mike johnson and more than 50 other house republicans will be in eagle pass later today. the speaker posting this tweet yesterday pointing out that eagle pass has dried up compared to what it was a couple of weeks ago. here is weeks ago versus yesterday. the biden administration decided to divert the flood of illegal immigrants to another location to keep them out of the camera shots during the gop's visit. don't be fooled. they are still being released into the country. our southern border is disaster under president biden. this is jaw dropping. c

andy biggs, matt gaetz and ralph norman. they say nothing can change their decision to vote against him. why are they so adamantly voting against him? if they do understand this and like he said if they don't vote for him, then the democrats could potentially make this decision and that's the last thing the g.o.p. wants. >> so listen, julie. this is a team support. you have to stand together or you'll fall apart. those three are friends of mine. they don't want speaker mccarthy. the rest of the conference does. get on board. if it's not mccarthy you have no other option. no one is waiting in the wings. kevin mccarthy is right that you will give creed power back to democrats and nancy pelosi to pick the next speaker. let's do it together. the vast majority of the conference wants kevin. get on board. you can't have rogue players when you have such a tight majority in the house. they have to be a team player. >> great to see you. thank you for talking to us. so president biden accusing americans of being lazy when it comes to

andy biggs has been tweeting on the subject. americans are still stranded in afghanistan and thanks to biden we can't evacuate americans from ukraine. when we look at the numbers of people potentially still in afghanistan, our job is not done there. can you understand perhaps admiral kirby why the american people might be a little skeptical as we go down a road again that has americans that have to be moved quickly and 8500 men and women in our u.s. military are perched? >> there should be no reason to try to move people quickly because the state department has been very clear about the need to avoid travel to ukraine for american citizens. back on afghanistan, we absolutely share the concerns of so many americans and some of these nonprofit and ad hoc groups that are coming together to help us identify americans and siv holders, afghan allies still want to leave afghanistan. you are right. the mission there is not over, harris and we're continuing to work inside the state department task force to help people get out of afghanis

andy biggs an assault on american freedom. larry moore, we must fight back against medical tyranny.erty and freedom are at stake. matt schlapp and richard fowler. great to see you both. matt, top line thoughts. >> this is just crazy. if you look at the other vaccines for serious diseases that we have in this country, none of them have the type of survival rates we have when it comes to this particular virus. it is a very serious thing and great tragedy that people have died but we have something in this country, we have a written constitution. people like me we don't use drugs and chemicals that are defriefd research on feetal remains. that's written into the constitution of the united states. people in this country have the right to practice their faith, not practice their faith. no president can remove the first amendment no matter how obnoxious he finds it. >> harris: axios is pointing out how it could play to the mid-terms. >> he is testing business leaders resolve. democrats in swing states on the line ahead of 2022 mid-term elections and attempting a tsunami of litigation. wha

congressman andy biggs heard that testimony firsthand and was in the room as they say. he is in "focus" next. newday to pay off credit card debt that's been piling up. many were shocked to learn they've been paying 22% on their credit card balances. and if payments were late, as much as 30%. that's over three times the interest rate on a newday 100 va home loan. pay off high rate credit cards and other debt with a lower rate newday home loan. save hundreds a month, thousands a year. - bye, bye cough. - later chest congestion. hello 12 hours of relief. 12 hours!! mucinex dm gives you 12 hours of relief from chest congestion and any cough, day or night. mucinex dm. it's comeback season. now try mucinex instasoothe sore throat medicated drops. i'm jonathan lawson, here to tell you about life insurance through the colonial penn program. if you're age 50 to 85 and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three p's. what are the three p's? the three p's of life insurance on a fixed budget are price, price, and price. a price you can afford, a price that c

today at the border as griff was just telling us and so that's anticipated as arizona congressman andy biggses of impeachment against mayorkas writing certainly joe biden and kamala harris have a substantial amount of blame with this. they are the ones who campaigned on this but mayorkas has not pushed back at all. so he is the guy who is responsible for the border security and national security and it is a disaster down there, end quote. here now reaction in focus, texas congressman chip roy. congressman, this cannot be said plainly enough. complicated by and plus covid. why doesn't this administration care about as much as us being exposed to covid by people rolling into our country, some as much as 50% of the groups covid positive as about what we do? >> thanks for having me on. acan't agree more with what border patrol chief scott said with respect to this being a national security crisis. it is a direct impact on our communities in texas. secretary mayorkas and president biden and vice president harris are completely m.i.a. frankly it's purposeful. they are purposely ignoring their duty

i do want to get to this from congressman andy biggs of the great state of arizona. we're on this topic. here is what he tweeted in terms of his response. this is sick. biden and his crew want to fear monger their way into dictating your private healthcare decisions. we're not falling for it. your reaction, congresswoman. >> i would agree. i think the vast majority of americans would agree, too. the kind of mandates scaring people during christmas and new year's, bully them into this is not the way to go. we need to not attack the american people but provide reassure nss and give them hope and information to make good decision else for themselves and their communities and give states the availability to manage the hot spots. it will make its way through the country. we need to make sure there are reassurances to all of our governors across the country the federal government will provide access to testing that they need, ppe, etc. when this thing hits the fan everywhere else in the country. that's what we need to be hearing from everybody across the board today. >> ha
