republican congressman chris stewart of utah in "focus" today. first let's go to white house correspondent peter doocy. >> harris, over the course of the last two plus years we have heard officials here call on a democratic-controlled congress to pass gun control. now we hear them call on a divided congress to pass gun control. >> we cannot do this alone. we need congress to act. we need them to build on what we saw them do with this bipartisan action that the president signed, the safer communities act, over the summer. we need to build on that. we have to. we have to ban assault rifles. >> president biden's only comment on this has been split. he expressed condolences at first. >> president biden: it's just sick. it is heartbreaking. a family's worst nightmare. it is ripping our communities apart. ripping at the very soul of the nation. >> after about one minute of talk like that, he, too, used his time at the lectern to call for gun control. >> president biden: we have to do more to protect our schools so they aren't turned into prisons. you k

joining me is utah congressman, member of the house committee on intelligence, chris stewart. thank you for being here. your reaction to president biden's budget? >> oh, my gosh, maria. i mean, what he is hoping, really what he's betting is the american people are stupid. that he can just come out and lie to them like this and that they're going to nod their head and say, boy, that sounds terrific, let's do that. for heaven's sake, it's obvious to everyone you how impacted people have been inflation. the poorest among us, the people who work the hardest, they're the ones who have been impacted by inflation. and they look at this and they go -- i think they know they their gut, in their heart, that doesn't make any sense. let's spend more money, let's ins crease taxes. that's what got us into this mess. i think most american know this. i think they're insulted by the president's explanation. they feel like don't treat me like i'm f stupid. maria: he wants to raise taxes. i want to get your take on the tax increase proposal. i think he had a freudian slip by saying the oil compa

and asked by congressman chris stewart if she had heard of the irs knocking on someone's door, he hadabout it unless the person was under investigation. >> i need to ask you, direct oversight of the irs does that bother you? >> it's certainly something that i would want to look into. i'm not aware that irs agents do that except as you said in cases where there's an investigation for law breaking that's underway. >> john: no indication that matt taibbi was under investigation, why would this agent show up there? >> but this is what the federal government does. you know, we don't trust them anymore, the american public has lost the trust of the federal government and the biden administration says i'll look into it and nothing happens. no accountability. like the federal reserve did not do their job in the california bank, nobody held accountable, we'll look into it, and nothing happens. and i can tell you, being a u.s. senator we ask for information, it's a black hole up here. think what the american public thinks. we don't get information and the agencies are weaponized. this is a sign

congressman chris stewart, ben dome -- >> aishah: the optometrist took the stand yesterday in a paltrow crash. he heard a blood curdling screen before the actress plowed into him. we have the latest from that trial in los angeles. >> it's the first time in the trial we've heard from the man suing paltrow, terry sanderson making the case paltrow was at fault for the ski collision not him saying he had never been hit that hard. >> i just remember everything was great and then i heard something i've never heard at a ski resort. that was a blood curdling scream and then boom. and it was like somebody was out of control and going to hit a tree and was going to die. >> sanderson was asked if he thought it was cool to collide with a celebrity to which he responded no, that's not who i am. after sanderson wrapped up his testimony, paltrow's family ski instructor christianson took the stand. with the help of an animation the instructor said what he saw. he said sanderson wasn't unconscious and heard him apologize to paltrow two times. we expect possibly to hear from paltrow's husband later today

congressman chris stewart is running a bill right now, broad bipartisan support and the president inhis state of the union said we h have to do thhi. i have president biden and conservative members of congress working together, but the states have to lead out and that's what we're doing, and i expect other states to follow, as you mentioned and then that helps congress kind of coalesce and come to an agreement on how we prevent these terrible harms from happening. >> i want to get you, though, the specifics of the law is where there will be pushback. evan grier and the director for fight for the future said this. these bills radically undermine the constitutional and human rights of young people in utah. what about in situations where there is a custody battle or allegations of abuse and a parent is attempting to gain access to a child's social media messages. this is where -- i get it, top down, this looks like a great idea, governor when you get into the details and things like this, what do you do? this seems to be a legitimate concern? >> sure. in any custody battle you have issu

contrasts to crimea altogether, this was in response to a question from republican congressman chris stewartwarned that state support for all of zelensky's plans risks causing a whole world of pain. i am very afraid that we do not see the difference between the crimea and the donbass, stuart blinkin addressed the difference. moreover , the head of the pentagon sees very clearly u.s. general staff mark miles has publicly accused zelensky of setting unrealistic goals to seize crimea and other russian territories. and even with the americans , he refuses to discuss options for a peace treaty. true, it is very difficult for real that kiev is in salute dependence on washington and washington can force zelensky to do anything. our national defense strategy regards putin's highly aggressive russia as an acute threat. under the leadership of president biden, the united states paved the way for to help ukraine fight an unprecedented and unexpected invasion. our allies and partners have now taken a step towards providing critical security assistance coordinating this process through the ukraine assist

chris. >> all right, stewart, there are few things more guaranteed to cause political trouble than talkingnts, right? medicare, social security, those kinds of things. we also know that they're running out of money. where do you see that part of the fight going? >> well, look, i think this puts the democrats in a place where they want to be. this is, as they say, a fight that they're picking. you know, there's been this big food fight inside the republican party because senate, republican senatorial campaign chair rick scott put out this plan last year that called for sun setting every government program every five years. so that means every five years you'd look at social security and look at medicare. he put this out. it was a written document. they printed hundreds of thousands of copies of it, and mitch mcconnell acted like he'd never seen this. and it's this interparty fight. donald trump out there saying he'll pledge not to cut social security and medicare. all those things that were listed in the president's budget, if you tested those, they would all test way to the good. i mean, t
