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'm talking about andy biggs, andy harris from maryland, talking about matt gaetz, talking about jimdeep sigh of relief after the supreme court's decision as well. these are people who had taken an oath and perhaps, engaged or alleged to have engaged in plans for that insurrection. so let's talk about those folks, who essentially get a pass unless congress passes legislation through these. and then you have a new crop of folks, who will be sworn in. congress will be sworn in will have a new congress at that point, there will be people who have taken an oath and what they decide to do should be thought about as well, think about the effect of this decision which essentially says, unless congress passes a statute that does all the things we say it has to deal and the statute holds up, that these kinds of folks are not barred by section 3. this is so contrary to what the framers wanted, who were so concerned about the spirit of insurrection that they believe still existed in the country. they were not only concerned about the period over the civil war, they wanted to protect this countr

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

joining us arizona congressman andy biggs. sit tight. we are going to show this press pool camera shot that was accidentally captured on video. the president has been using a gigantic teleprompter with very large type face that he still struggles to read. this is when he went to the border. you will be at the thursday's state of the union address. how long do you expect the president's address to last? i mean, he's been going at about an hour and five minutes or so. trump goes at about hour and 20 minutes. so what do you make of this? >> well, i mean, certainly president biden's stamina is weaker. his cognitive ability has been deteriorating. it's noticeable not just to people like you and i. it is noticeable to the world. it is noticeable to the public. and you know, who knows how long he will go. my guess is they will try to prime him up and get him ready to go to take about an hour. that's what i would expect him to go. i wouldn't expect him to go much further than that. i don't think he's capable of going much further than that. even

. >> laura: joining me now arizona congressman andy biggs of the house judiciary committee.ongressman, it's good to see you tonight. man, they spent a lot of time on this you exonerated president biden line. hur kept pushing back on that saying no, i did not. they refused to hear him. but they do know the truth, do they not? >> yes, they do. and what mr. hur did is what we call a charging decision. and you know that but he made a charging decision and said we don't think prosecution success is likely and so, therefore, we're not going to proceed. that's very different than exoneration. it's also very different -- that's like saying my client was found innocent. no client is ever found innocent. they might be found not guilty. but they are never found innocent. and the democrats knew that but they were crafting a narrative. and that's what all today was about donald trump and the word exoneration. and neither one was applicable or appear appear apropos to mr.s testimony. >> laura: their argument for biden is if you go biden 2024 colon on a bumper sticker, he wasn't indicted.

so they knew what was going to be thrown at him and they were ready for it congressman andy biggs was asked about this yesterday and he basically said, look, he had response for everything. and i think what this transcript kind of reinforces is that republicans have been pulling it all these threats. they have this little piece of evidence that they think is something here. this little piece there. and the process of kind of airing that publicly has allowed the people who are testifying this to know what's coming at them. and in this case, there doesn't seem to be that one thing that actually move the ball for republicans. and this comes at a time when a lot of them are kind of getting pretty skittish about actually doing the impeachment. >> guys. thank you. we're gonna have to take a quick break coming up with four days until super tuesday. nikki haley will be here in studio. stay tuned >> eliot spitzer, crusading governor by day he wanted to be present in the united states client number nine by night's this guy who was a crusader against human sex trafficking is actually a customer,
