no brooks, andy biggs, jim jordan, scott barry.uys has really faced account ability as you get more serious questions from law enforcement officials. give me a sense of the complications of potentially prosecuting or at least charging a member of congress, as you see it. >> there are a few challenges with that. you know that scott perry had his phone seized by federal investigators as part of the look at donald trump and the broader plot. he was a key player in the effort to apply the justice department to help to what he did in 2020. so, now, again, he wasn't charged over that and we don't know where that path led doj. it is hard to penetrate congress. they have speech or debate protection in the constitution, almost the full immunity from being criminally pursued over there on official business. now, the january 6th session of congress, even though it is about an election, it is part of official business. they are casting votes to certify an election. getting inside that and compelling these people to talk or even just to get a l

my name is andy biggs from arizona's fifth congressional district. i'm a co-chair. the house border security caucus with my co-chair, brian babin, from texas. and we're grateful that you're here. as you know, border security, a major issue over the last four years, and particularly in this last election cycle. and the president is named tom homan to serve as the border security. and i'm happy and feel confident that he's going to help secure our border as i go through this. so i want to pay special tribute to a friend of border security caucus, my friend, art del cueto from the tucson sector is retiring this friday from the border patrol after more 20 years of service and most of these guys up here who attended a border codel with me over the last four years or so will know our del cueto because he's there and he's been a fierce advocate for securing the border. tom homan wanted me to make sure i mentioned this. so there's the sanctuary city issue is particularly pernicious. and in arizona, my own governor's indicated that she's to stand in the way of actually enfor

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

larry: andy biggs, one thing bobulinski said, he said u.s.rs to have been unwilling to speak with me, or hear facts we will be bis cussing and said i have never been contacted to provide testimony norred asked to speak with anyone with biden administration that including justice department, fbi irs or local law enforcement or special attorney david weiss. no one in justice area i'll say, we know it is two-tiers, nobody welcomed to talk to bobulinski, he is a navy veteran, his father was a navy veteran, they are decorated. and he is giving money to dip -- has given money to democrats. nobody wanted to solicit his opinion, i find th that incredible. >> don't be to too surprised, every agency you are talking about engaged in other acts to protect hunter biden whether it was doj, days, that lap top that is not real. or the intelligence community saying that russia disinformation. lobobulinski has mountains of documents, he kept 3 phones from the 2015 to 2020 with the text-messages between him and hunter biden and everyone like that. and they can'

andy biggs, congressman, thank you so much. have a good weekend.ing on. >> thank, liz. elizabeth: thanks for your insights. appreciate you. i'm liz macdonald. thanks for watching "the evening edit." have a great weekend. now it is time for "the bottom line." hi, dagen and sean. wow, what a time to be alive. dagen: oh, lord have

>> i can tell you andy biggs is on and and number three at the department of justice that was sent downersee the trial. when people say there's no possibility that this is scrubbed i turn around and show them the facts like andy biggs has presented. this administration in the department of justice to go after the political opponent because they no trump is going to win in the american people started at the fall and the withdrawn afghanistan realize that biden has no foreign policy that we are a mess and i frankly think the reason why the president trump is going to win big he was joking about this on thursday, every sickle time that they indict him he goes up in the polls and were working under looking forward to the win in november when we need to bring accountability and congress needs to get serious about not finding the weaponize institutions and i hope that working to bring that contempt about once we return and hopefully that will be the check and balance that we need. maria: go ahead senator. >> this is also to piggyback on the representatives point in november of 2022 gives bide

coming up arizona republican andy biggs will take it on. also we've got reports of more in-fighting between biden and harris. and this. >> [indiscernible] >> we talk all of the time, and they are asking where they think that i should be. liz: okay we'll dig into the fall out of harris saying no, she does not want joe biden campaigning for her, right as she said she will do his policies again. this is confusing right? tomi lahren is going to break it down but first this. >> how is everybody doing? liz: awkwardness on the campaign trail. kamala harris copies trump going to a barber shop that awkward hot mic moment that was bad. we've got more about what's happening with the male vote, and what is happening with new economic data that's coming out this week. this is possibly going to hit the kamala harris campaign in a bad way. conservative youtuber content create or anton daniels is he buying what harris has been campaigning on? we'll talk to him. a lot of action this hour, please don't go away. >> at the end of the day, i'm trump, because my

andy biggs says he has got the five lime.k place in 2022. what do you know about this? >> well i can tell you that andy biggs is on it. also too, that people forget pomerantz was also numb per three at biden's department ofe justice,at sent down to new york to oversee the trial. employment say there is no possibility this is corrupt i t turn theurm around show the fac like andy biggs presented. this administration is really using the department of justice to go after their political opponents because they know trum gop will win. american people starting with e withdrawal from afghanistan, biden has no foreign policy, we're a mess right now and i frankly think why president i trump would win big, he was joking about this on thursday, every single time they indict him he goes up in the polls.sday we're looking toward a win in november. we do needan to bringrw accountability in congress, weto need to get serious not funding these weaponized institutions. o i mean it. we're hoping to bring the inherent contempt vote once we retur

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

gaetz: i hand it off to one of the past leaders of the house caucus, andy biggs. mr. biggs: if you want to impact anlection, bring a candidate, the candidate for the republicans tryo tie him up in court over and overain. if you want a sham, bring a couple of people inho no credibility and put them up as star witnesses and we saw it today first happened. mr. cohen admitted repeatedly he admitted that he did so for his own personal tells you everu know about the lackibily of thid then add to that that you have a ju a judge whose daughter is making literally hundred thousand bucks at least because she is going around using this to raise money for democrats. that is what is hniat i what is. and so i think wis pretty clear to us that this is a sham tria done for political purposes and should not stand in the united state america. i give it back to my friend. mr. gaetz: my colleague from the house oversight cee, merchandise luna. mrs. luna: they areeloplehey cas in the courtroom. he about this, why is it you guys can't be in co see what we are seeing. just because of members

elizabeth: joining ulings join us now congressman andy biggs.biden, will hunter biden come in and testify in the biden impeachment inquiry? >> my understanding is he will come in, in a few weeks. what important, we're not going to have a scope limitation or a time limit, we can ask him a plethora of questions over a broad range of topics, as much as i think he needed to be referred for prosecution that would take 90 to 100 days, we won't have when we want most, that is the information he has. elizabeth: that why house delayed contempto hunter biden because these negotiations are going on. >> correct. elizabeth: he will come in and sit for unlimited amount of time in a deposition that will be recorded, and he will sit behind closed-doors and press to answer questions from house lawmakers on biden impeachment inquiry. you could plead the fifth. >> i would imagine he will take the fifth a lot, i imagine he will say i don't believe, i don't know a lot, i don't recall but we'll press him as much as we can, i am almost of mind he said he wanted to do

edward: so joining me now, congressman andy biggs you saw there.ere when we learned some new information like the hooter had a drone -- shooter had a drone that he flew over this vent. are we going to get to the bottom of where the breakdown in security happened, or are the bureaucrats going to stand in the way? >> i'm hoping we're going to get to the bottom of it, edward, because the fbi gave us information that we didn't have before the drone, the angle, what the shooter would have been looking at, but they don't have video because he was live streaming it. the secret service is director, when she was in and we were asking questions pertaining to what they knew, when they knew, communications, she was very deflecktive. she didn't want to give us the information. i thought direct director wray was a little more wholesome in his answers and, you know, for instance, on the drone, for instance, on the collapsible stock, for instance, on the body, those types of things. so i hope we can get more information. we're going to have to peel this thing back

joining us from house ways and means is congressman andy biggs.d the save act bill, congressman, and would require, you know this. basically states have to get proof of citizenship from voters for federal elections and get rid of illegal aliens from voter roles, but the vote was 221 for it and 198 democrats voted against it. congressman, democrats are in favor of violating the constitution and letting illegal aliens vote in federal election s? >> it seems that way. five of them voted -- five democrats voted with us but 198 basically chose to say we just don't care whether you're legal in this country or not, whether you're a u.s. citizen or not and going to vote in the federal election and by the way, you said it's contrary to constitutional principles and now they're saying they're okay with that . liz: so does chuck schumer take it up in the senate? >> well, i hope he does and he tends to not want to do this and my guess is he's not going to take it up. we'll lay it over there and see if our republican friends can get a few democrats at least to

will: meanwhile, representative andy biggs weighed the two campaigns, one presidency, one former presidencyof this at the same time. here's biggs. >> for president biden probably too little, too late. it's going to be a photo op for him. but for donald trump who actually brought the border in as much control as i've seen perhaps in my lifetime even, it's an opportunity for him to talk about the policies that he thinks are going to actually resolve this border crisis. and so, you know, wholeheartedly support that. joe biden, it's way too little and way too late. if he really wants to shut it down, he has the power and authority right now to go back and reinstate some of those executive orders and change the enforcement policy. rachel: yeah, i went down there with congressman andy biggs and also congressman crane, both from a arizona. they've seen the deterioration of this situation, you know, right before their eyes from great enforcement all the way down to this which is a terrible crisis. by the way, we were right next to a soft shelter there. that's where -- i could actually talk to the m

i spoke to representative andy biggs in the last hour about this.sten to what he had to say. >> we've got one member -- actually, two members who said they're not to going to vote for him, one has said under any circumstance he's not voting for mr. johnson. and so for mike to become speaker again, he's going to have to have everybody else. and there's a lot of discontent particularly with what happened last week in the spending fight. anita: so, pete, let me start with you. if you were a betting man, does johnson keep the gavel? >> well, i just got back from vegas overnight, so my betting days, i think, are over for this calendar year. but i think things are actually, believe it or not, looking good for mike johnson. one, here we are six days from the vote, and no alternative is being floated. they're not testing the waters, testing the base with another name, another potential speaker yet. you also have the fact that mike johnson has a very close relationship with donald trump. they talk frequently, they meet in person frequently. and finally, it i

maria: joining us from the house judiciary and oversight committee arizona congressman andy biggs, good to see you, thank you for joining us, you are in the meeting with elon musk and vivek ramaswamy on capitol hill, what can you tell us we have not heard about the details. >> briefly elon musk and vivek ramaswamy made their case briefly i thought they came up very well about then we had a basic line of people going to the microphone talking about programs they felt they should be trimmed, cut, eliminated and that is good, the most, was when mr. roy of texas said the problem was us in congress and i think is right, we've got to take the lead on it in the executive branch to president trump will help us bully pulpit i introduced over 500 bills that would reduce 100 plus billion dollars and i cannot get anybody in a conference to look at it. we have to take the charge and that was made abundantly clear as we met with the new doge leadership. maria: i would get your take on the agenda of republicans are mapping out the 2025 agenda ahead of the new session beginning next month, sources are

we were talking representative andy biggs and breitbart.al counsel jack smith, meets with the white house, all of this ramped up right after the mid-terms. right after trump indicated he would run again and after biden said we will not let trump "take back power." >> yeah, you know, there's an old saying in washington. there are no coincidences and that's what the biden white house is expecting us to believe that all these discussions between the white house and local prosecutors, the number three top official in the justice department suddenly leaving justice to take a pay cut and go to new york to help criminally prosecute donald trump? we're supposed to believe that's all just a coincidence? well, i certainly don't and i don't think the american voters do either. liz: and a lot of that stuff happened on the same day it looks like november 18 after the mid-terms. so there's that and now you've got judge aileen cannon will hear arguments made by constitutional scholars, former attorneys general and on june 21 and whether special counsel ja

let's welcome from house oversight and accountability, congressman andy biggs.onight. and this is why this is important as far as i'm concerned, i'm just going to remind our viewers special counsel hur was interviewing biden, he was investigating his handling of classified documents. that is important because with we've got a similar parallel narrative with president trump that's going to come down the pike after he gets through his new york trial. a couple of things could happen here. the democrats are arguing if you get your hands on audio, jim jordan, you're going to alter it, splice it up is and take it out of context. but on the other side of the coin, you could say, well, if you're truly having the transcript and the audio match, then why would you be afraid to hand it over? if it appears that, if we recall during or that transcript when it was released, we got a very, very distorted picture of president biden's memory. and that was really the pop there, that he's got major mental issues. in fact, his mental health, let's call it, is in a state of decline.

matt gaetz, mo brooks, andy biggs, jim jordan, scott perry.s really faced accountability as yet, or questions from law enforcement officials. give me a sense of the complications of potentially prosecuting or charging a member of congress, as you see it. >> there are a few challenges with that, you know that scott perry had his phone seized by federal investigators as part of a look at donald trump, and that broader plot, he was a key player in the effort by donald trump to deploy the justice department to do what he did in 2020. now, he wasn't charged with that and we don't know where that path led the doj, but it's hard to penetrate congress. they have protection in the constitution, almost full immunity from being over there official business. the january 6th session of congress, even though it's about an election as part of congress official business. they are casting votes to certify an election. getting inside that in compelling people to talk, or to get a look at what they were doing and talking about, it's very difficult for investigat

andy biggs, congressman andy biggs, thank thank you. and two other warriors, a youngn one and a little bit older one. but boy, they are tough. you don't get tougher than eli crane and paul gosar. brawl goes on. right. thank you a lot. right. right. beautiful, greatple. people. fro and the next congressman from arizona's eighth district, a hamadan. ct wow. goi he's going to be he's going for to be good for a long time.a yon he's a young gentleman. great. a great job. a to great job, great heart. we went through a tough one. arizona gop chairwoman, she is doing a job. >> gina swoboda. anna, she is doing a job and a very good friend of mine, fro the next senator from arizona. i really believe this. >> look, she's running against we're going to have to do it., i was going to bring her up. are you going to say, come on, gary, speak. spoke >> but she just spoke for a half an hour. what the hell am i going to do hereatll am ? l >> but i will tell you, she's running against a guyr it who's a rubber stamp for it. used to be by now. >> who the he

contingent of far right congressional republicans attended thursday's trial, including mike gates andy biggsen bogart's. the latest in a -- the latest in ballast is to visit the courtroom. our reporter was inside the court for the trial and joins us now. thank you for being with us. another day of evidence from michael cohen. we will be back next year -- next week. what information did we learn from him today? >> look, a really -- it really struck me how composed michael cohen remained on to stand as he had to weather the most intense round of questioning yet from donald trump's lawyers. they certainly went on the attack about the numerous times that michael cohen has lied. really trying to paint him as not somebody who was interested in justice, that of somebody who was out for himself. pointing out that he had been untruthful about the fact that he had tried to secure a pardon from donald trump while he was president asking his lawyer to look into it. again, trying to say that michael cohen only is interested in what benefits him. there was a real moment that i think everybody walked away

we did not have a word of testimony from andy biggs. we did not have a word of testimony from kevin mccarthy and we did not have a word of testimony from mo brooks, nor did we receive a single document from scott perry, nor did we receive a single document from jim jordan, nor did we receive a single document from andy biggs, nor did we receive a single document from kevin mccarthy. nor did we receive a single document from brooks. there you are talking about 100% noncompliance and obstruction, they want to on the attorney general of the united states of america in contempt for 99.99% compliance with what they are saying now and 100% compliance in reality for what it was at the committee asked for. >> again, chairman jordan did not see fit to come and testify today, i would have liked to have heard his answer to the same question but i just want to point out for the record, that hunter biden was found guilty by jury of his peers in a case prosecuted by a u.s. attorney appointed by president trump, presided over by a federal judge appoin
