congressman dan crenshaw did weigh in on twitter.secretary granholm q and a there filed this one under, quote: not qualified to be energy secretary. chuck, got a lot of problems on a lot of different fronts. we spent a lot of time in this show with expanded time talking about foreign policy. and it seems like china will dominate a lot of things, big things for months and possibly years to come. >> i was a little surprised that general kellogg was so confident that president putin doesn't intend to invade ukraine. i hope he is right. but what it points to is that on sort of both edges of the land mass over one side with taiwan and other with ukraine, we have two rising -- reemerging great powers acting very aggressively at the same time and that is inherently a threat and something that you have to be concerned about that the united states under any president but especially this one would be able to handle that at the same time. and, yes, you are absolutely right, bret, that whole complex of issues surrounding those two countries but

let's bring in texas congressman dan crenshaw joining us right now i believe from houston. ust heartbreaking. it was a christmas parade and that guy probably should not have been out on bail, and now they are saying oh, you know what? that was a mistake we made it too small. well now he can't get out but it's too late. >> yeah it is too late for six people who died, and dozens others who lost their lives, this is a really sickening tragedy. the person who did it is a really sick individual and i think it's it infuriates so many people is because it was so preventable. even the da from that town actually knew this would happen. he's on the record saying yes, of course this could kill people , people could die, yes but it's worth it because social justice and stuff, i'm paraphrasing but he basically said yes, he knew this would happen. well it did happen, and look, this happens all over the country and my home city of houston here, law enforcement tells me all the time that suspects can just laugh at them when they get caught. just laugh at them, even violent offenders can jus

congressman dan crenshaw tweeting this: biden wants to pay illegal immigrants $450,000 for their hardshipsurance payment of $400,000. let that sink this. and even one gold star parent i saying as far as, you know, this is really just a slap in the face. >> i'll just say, oh, okay, now we owe you money, and it's more money than we would pay a patriot. i just, i am outraged. i think this is, you know, you just wonder where is the outcry against some of these policies that are just, i don't know, they're unbelievable to me. >> reporter: and as i mentioned, david, this comes as democrats are trying to, still trying to work on a pathway to citizenship for all those folks that came here illegally. they're trying to get it into this multitrillion dollar spending plan which they'll use the reconciliation process to pass, but so far their plans have failed to pass congressional rules twice already although senate majority whip dick durbin trying to come up with a third idea to get this through, but that could delay this bill even more and create more problems for moderates. david? david: great rep

texas republican dan crenshaw says some bail reform measures are too lenient. >> nonviolent offenders and democrats working together to make sure that there is some leniency for them. but for violent offenders, people that are a danger to the public, people like this guy who tried to run over the mother of his child just a few weeks earlier -- they are going to let them out so we can run over a bunch of other people? it is really sickening. >> let's begin criminal defense attorney here to discuss more. why was brooks on the street? how did the justice system in this instance fail? >> speaking of thanksgiving, there is six precious lives and what waukesha, wisconsin, who should be sitting around a table today eating turkey and celebrating. but instead they are being buried because there is a cowardly district attorney -- the sky in milwaukee county. he has a policy in which he is promoting a radical social agenda rather than protecting public safety. and it's got to end. in the situation, not only what you meant, but in 2019, he was arrested in nevada as well. for an alleged sex crime.
