national security is not a partisan thing. mariarnment is the security of its citizens and looking at things like this where economic innovation is now becoming a military, national security issue. that's something that we have to grapple with and recognize. maria: if that were a priority the southern border would not be wide open but it you is not a priority but real quick on this issue, huawei recently the fcc said that it was going to ban new orders from huawei. but what about all the huawei equipment that is already in place? it's already as secretary pompeo says inside the gates of america so whatever the fcc is saying about what's to come with huawei, i want to know what they're going to do with the huawei equipment that is already here and in so many corporations and surveillance. >> look, it's a big problem and you've identified the problem. what about the surveillance cameras in my apartment building which are chais niece made, right -- chinese made, right. this is an issue that's so complex and difficult and back to where

maria: it's a great point.lly after they changed the function of the air drop just weeks before the pro he prs broke out on the ground in china. you know, these are all national security threats. this is why i keep going back to china and the ccp about the censorship of information, because at the end of the day, this is a threat to the u.s.'s national security. former secretary of state mike pompeo joined me yesterday on sunday morning futures and he discussed the dangers that tiktok pose as well. watch this. >> tiktok should be banned. not only are they surveilling our kids, that's horrible. they know what your child's face looks like, who their friends are. it's a propaganda tool inside the united states. to watch president biden talk about twitter as if it's a risk, and refuse to talk about tiktok, the chinese communist party that is a risk, his own fbi has said so,s is incomprehensible to me. we should ban it. we should ban all the chinese apps and technologies inside the united states. the chinese communi

it's the old tree falling in a forest, maria. if it doesn't make any noise, did it really happen? they are hoping that this entire revelation which by the way is not just about a bunch of left wing people at twitter not allowing voices like yours and mine to be heard, it all goes back to the huntergate situation and the fact that joe biden may have been elected with the help of those very same people, thereby making that a very dishonest election and him a very dishonest president. that's what it's all about. and they figure if they can just keep this in a bubble, if they just don't allow the american people to know what went on in the run-up to the 2020 election, that no one will ever be the wiser and it's working. i talk to friends of mine and they're sort of like what are you talking about, what is the twitter thing? they don't really know because they haven't seen it in the new york times, they haven't seen it on cbs. maria: unbelievable. >> that's right. you know what? we have to keep talking about it. because like the hunter biden laptop, the fact that joe biden may be compro

that's really kind of a revealing statistic. maria deal. >> what about the wage side of this? you're seeing wages pick up. housing comes off but wages start to push inflation. i look at 2023 and i see, okay, we get down to that kind of 5% range with cpi, then you've really got the heavy lifting to go from 5 to 2. i don't know if the fed can do that unless they're really ready to bring a hammer to this economy. >> to your point, wages are sticky, they're the not going to come down fast. what's interesting with the layoffs coming on now, it's tech. a lot of it is h1b people, they're here temporarily on a work visa. these are high paid people in tech. they don't show up in unemployment. we've got 79 million baby boomers that started to he retire in 2012 and they're going to continue through the next seven, eight years. 4.3 million people per year are eligible for retirement, they're delaying because of inflation, delaying because of the markets and so the wages will be sticky but the people who are eligible for retirement aren't the peop

>> a absolutely. maria policy matters. and one party if democrat rule in washington created is going to give ever american a blue christmas for sure. the price of christmas trees have gone up price for presents under christmas trees have gone up to put food on tablecloths on backs, and gasoline in car everything costing more the reason why we are here maria is because, one party democrat rule has spent more than 10 trillion added more than 10 trillion dollars of spending to government, they have paid able boyd health adults not to work, and put government boot on neck of u.s. energy, those three things right there, is -- is where -- basically resulting where we're in inflation crisis day. >> it is really important to make note of that because it is a situation where political changes everything that is why we are facing 40-year high inflation, all right dagen we are a minute and a half away from number, what are you focused on what is most important dagen. dagen: just you know how much it eases potentially the overall numb

there's a lot of good things in this budget, to be sure, maria. 2 budget. but the problem is that's about the size of inflation, so this is a flat budget. there's no real growth in this budget despite the goodness that's in it. what we need to really do is buckle down and see the threat for what it is, it is danger to us. in the indo-pacific region where china has more ships, more airplanes, more offensive and defensive missiles than we do. the only advantage we have is in submarines. so we are outgunned and outmanned, and we have to to move with a sense of urgency and have a budget that reflects the danger here. simply what we're trying to achieve is make certain that president xi and his military when they look at the u.s. and our allies in the region, that they do not want to enter into confrontation over taiwan because they know we would inpose significant costs on them. we don't -- impose. we don't want them to look at us and see that they have the military advantage, and that's an incentive for them to take action. and that is where we are ri

maria: so you have already then put a request out there for documents from the fbi. that what you're saying? >> absolutely. maria: what have you learned so far? >> well, the fbi had, under the cover of saying that they were pursuing foreign malign influence, had really exploded into an activities that involved engaging with mainstream media and social media and really impacting what is the normal debate of democracy. now, what's very troubling here in my opinion, this was not based on intelligence. you had john ratcliffe on your own show saying, for example, the hunter biden laptop which the fbi was trying to intervene and saying that was russian misinformation, he said there was no intelligence that substantiated that. i believe in the end we will find there's no intelligence that supports the fbi doing this, that this is a campaign by the fbi that really is outside of the bounds of anything we would expect them to do and certainly very constitutionally troubling. maria: elon musk has are revealed a lot, but you've got people like devin nuÑes, even jack to have city,

it's not a large scale thing, maria. it's several ships on each side. to practice a lot of gunnery and how you can -- how you use command and control and how they can support each other. but it is a manifestation of what is really happening there. they have a strategic partnership. they're aligned, principally because the united states and western democracies mostly, but others as well, have huge influence and control in the world order and they are fundamentally opposed to that. they're authoritarian regimes and china is the most ambitious, wanting to replace the united states as the world's global leader. that's what they're about. president xi certainly is supporting russia in the war. they're not giving them millly aid which -- military aid which is a good thing. he has also made a statement that he doesn't see any reason why nuclear weapons would be used in ukraine. that is also a good thing. but he's got his full-fledged moral support. president xi to president putin for sure. they are linked at the hip and that's just the reality of what's a taken

vice president harris hasn't done a darn thing about it. mariaar. >> watching mattlock reruns is more important to him. if he did that, that's capitulating, that's admitting there's a problem which he's not going to admit and that might lead to a policy change which they don't want to do. obviously, what is happening at the border is a crisis, it is chaotic. it's more than that. it's dangerous. we know potential terrorists are coming in. bad ombres are coming in here. a lot of people are flooding in here because they want a better life. we understand that. there's a process here. it's a complete breakdown by our own government. maria: if he goes to the border, james, the cameras follow him. it's on tv, it's in the media, he doesn't want that. >> he wanted the photo op for his completely unnecessary visit to this industry subsidizing. taiwan semiconductor doesn't need his help to figure out how to make the computer chips. there's no value-add to his trip to arizona other than as a photo opportunity to present himself as the savior. maria: he wants

a this to happen. nobody is this incompetent, right? mariaick, hypothetically speaking let's say omnibus dies, what do republicans come up with as an alternative early in january? >> i think the answer is a short-term cr and then we go forward and we pass a conservative budget which keep in mind pelosi never put forward a budget. it's all just been a omnibus or continuing resolution, kicking the can down the road. we have the power of the purse. let's exercise that right. and to that point about that sound clip you just played, we're so far beyond the negligence. this is intentional. when you have 5 million people crossing and historic numbers of inflation, got-aways, fentanyl, i mean, this is absurd. how else do you describe what's happening at the southwest border and they're saying the quiet part out loud and so at some point we have to stop and say their intention is to allow as many illegals from as many foreign countries here as possible. the only thing i can surmise is this is about votes at the end of the day. why else would they be p

you made a -- you asked a question, maria, about do these companies he realize. r reality is, theres so much money being made in these companies and this is a control issue so if they have the opportunity to control, they will. and then at the moment where the fbi or the united states government comes in and threatens this enormous enterprise they have, they blinked. and unfortunately they did so to maintain their power and it always comes around. you have to understand it's always going to come around. maria: yeah. i agree. it's about the money, that's why corporate america has been funding the expansion of communist china. meanwhile, the story of the moment, dagen, twitter chief elon musk put out that 12-hour poll, asking users if he should step down as ceo. over 17 million respondents chimed in. he said he would abide by the results, dagen. we're waiting for the official finish to this but look at this poll, 57% are saying, yeah, step down. dagen: it's higher than that right now. that was -- we pulled this graphic from last night. i looked at it a couple of min
