>> i served in the texas senate and served with and under dan patrick, he did say in the same sentence -- he said in the same breath we believe in democracy in texas, we wouldn't do something like that but push comes to shove, who's doing these things, who decided election integrity is not important and who fights us at every turn? the left, who decided to prosecute the leading candidate for president in three different venues, the left and now taking a step further, don't worry about ballot integrity, let's take him off the ballot entirely, who did that? the left, sorry, 7 political activists in black robes in colorado, three got it right and four are threatening -- david: the three you say got it right are democrats as well. all 7 of them are democrats so i am wondering, not only are they obviously making republicans more strident about trump in favor of him but also turning off a lot of democrats, one ended up hitting them in both sides. >> i think so, absolutely. the decision should have been 7-0. the decision should be 9-0. donald trump has not been convicted of anything first of

we'll talk about lieutenant governor dan patrick about this. bill, thank you, lukeville, arizona. >> jacqui: chad wolf, former acting dhs secretary, appreciate your time. >> chad: happy to be here. >> jacqui: do you think the migrant flights out of texas going to chicago or even the new law that they have signed in texas allowing local police to arrest people coming over the border illegally, will either of these things prompt new action to the biden administration to crack down on illegal crossings? >> chad: i hope it does, although i'm not holding my breath on this. look, governor abbott is having his hand forced here a little bit. having to take a number of unique and really precedented actions because the federal government won't do its job. biden administration time and time again will not secure that border and so the governor has a decision to make. he can continue to let americans and texas and communities along the border be at issue here or take actions such as sending planes to chicago and elsewhere or passing and signing into law so

let me go back dan patrick is right. completely correct. we should be shipping folks to other parts of the country. greg abbott did that last year. desantis sent a planeful of people to martha's vineyard. it was important. on the political dynamic, republicans need to go on offense on this. this is something that is critical to our national security and we can win on this. it is something not only can we win politically and the american people if we stand up and fight. it will take all of us to say we'll hold the line on funding of government and on ukraine to demand change out of this administration. because they are blatantly ignoring the laws using asylum and parole to consume it. we passed hr2. people say it's a crazy bill. what you talked about on title 42. it was a health code coughed provision. we got hr29 to say authorities should be in place. embedded in give authorities the power to turn away. the white house doesn't want to use it. they want to endanger us and have open borders. we need to stand with the border patrol and america

governor dan patrick. dan, the white house said today this law won't make communities safer your response? >> so, we spent a lot of time, law, on the city writing this bill along with the governor. and we believe we have a bill that will survive any type of supreme court challenge because we are being invaded. arizona tried this about 10 years ago. but our law is different. it simply says that our law enforcement can arrest anyone, take them in, do a background which can photograph, do fingerprints. if they saw them cross the border illegally, we can do that or if they happen to reveal in the arrest stop that they crossed illegally, and then the magistrate will send them back and will escort them to the border. and they have a choice. they go to jail or they can go back. and if they go back and dry to come back again and rearrest them again, the penalty gets even higher. we are fed up. in fact, seeing what happened in colorado, laura makes me think except we believe in democracy in texas. maybe we should ta

we have senator tom cotton, dan patrick and ari fleischer just ahead.ossed the border this month going to go and what is joe biden doing about it? will biden get tough with houthi or continue to let them attack shipping? and tomorrow is the day mccalisters left kevin at home, we have answers to all the questions you have been pondering for the last 33 years. join us at the top of the hour for "america reports." ♪ k-d rocking around the christmas tree. >> emily: parents take little ones to meet santa and children sit on santa's lap and get a picture. some are shy, some have a meltdown, santa in miami is sparking debate for his reaction to a three-year-old girl who refused to sit on his lap, take a look. >> this is her body and she's in control of her body, i asked if she wanted to sit on my lap. she said no. i said, way to stand up for yourself, you can't let santa. tiktok is getting mixed reviews with some praising santa and others call it cringe. the little girl said it was incredible moment because the idea is antiquated and exchanging physical touch

. >> and yesterday, texas lieutenant governor dan patrick suggested taking president biden off the ballot in texas due to his handling of immigration. when asked today whether the 14th amendment applies to trump in this case, biden said he'll let the courts make the ultimate decision but said trump certainly supported and insurrection. we'll keep you posted with this saga. vicki and ken, back to you. alright grants tonight. a federal judge is blocking a new california law. >> that would have made it illegal to carry a gun in most says that the wall, which was to go into effect on january. 1st violates the second amendment. the lob and carrying concealed guns in 26 places, including places like public parks, playgrounds, churches in banks, businesses would still be able to allow guns if they post a sign indicating the guns can be carried there. this is being called a temporary block to the ban. so it could still be enacted after further legal review. governor gavin newsom has responded to the law saying, quote, california will keep fighting to defend our lives and to enshrine a right to sa

. >> laura: now, to that point, i want to play something that the lieutenant governor of texas, dan patrickfloated on our show last night, newt, got a lot of attention. watch. >> seeing what happened in colorado makes me think, except we believe in democracy in texas, maybe we should take joe biden off the ballot in texas for allowing 8-millimeter people to cross the border since he has been president. >> newt, i mean, look at what has happened to america with this open border that in and of itself is own type of insurrection against sovereignty, against the rule of law is this not a natural reaction if this is the precedent they set? >> yes. look, biden's illegal immigration policy which louise to biden's illegal immigrants is a disaster and it's deliberate. it's not -- there is not a failure on the border. there is a deliberate policy on the border to maximize the number of people who come in. the next stage will be for the left to demand that they be allowed to vote even though they are here illegally. you can see the whole process. and that's why we are, i think, moving dangerously clos

you heard dan patrick, lieutenant governor, he violated the constitution by leaving the border open,he same trigger basically? >> that's again another reason why you don't want the courts to become tools of partisan politics, you want to be them objective arbiters. it's better to beat him at the ballot box. by the way the only way to get rid of him if he loses to nikki haley or loses to joe biden and we are not going to get rid of donald trump by these efforts in colorado or maybe maine which is talking about taking him off the ballot. jacqui: you guys are agreeing about everything and i will make you fight about something it is our political panel after all. we will talk about trump and nick question hailey because you brought her on. we had joe lieberman on cavuto talking about if nikki haley were to drop out and join the no labels ticket that there will be a lot of folks with no labeling eager to look at her as a candidate there. does the prospect of nikki haley running on another -- separate ticket from the one she's trying to get on right now change trump's trajectory in your ey

. >> jacqui: complete coverage now, texas lieutenant governor dan patrick responds, but first, william in the los angeles newsroom. why aren't the ice facilities being used? >> jacqui, the president has said he does not want to use them. otherwise, does it make sense to be releasing thousands of migrants a day with a slip of paper, while thousands of detention beds taxpayers paid for daily go empty. take the center in california. 2000 beds, fully staffed, and operational today, yet housing just six immigrants. why? one answer is the administration told congress the last two years it only needs money for 25,000 detention beds as it tries to fulfill the president's promise to close facilities for immigrants. >> there should be no private prisons period. they should not exist and we are working to close all of them: >> president trump by contrast detained up to 50,000 immigrants his last year in office. some judges did reduce bed count during covid but those restrictions ended eight months ago. >> they keep releasing thousands, while thousands of beds are empty. they would rather put them

i heard dan patrick on air earlier, the deputy governor of texas, he said maybe we should take joe biden's name off the ballot in texas because of his dereliction of duty a allowing 8 to 10 million illegal migrants to flow into america and taxpayers footing the bill, maybe he should be taken off the ballot in texas. this is going to spike like wildfire, already we heard from some of the candidates, alan, vivek ramaswamy is pledging to withdraw from the colorado gop primary all together in solidarity unless the supreme court changes this. now the colorado gop says it will cancel the primary if trump can't be on the ballot. they're also of talking about moving it to a caucus-like apoach. what are your -- approach. what are your thoughts on what you're hearing from the gop in colorado. >> what we're going to see is tit-for-tat retaliation by republicans. they're going to take biden off the ballot. they'll find some ex us cues, eg it's an insurrection, they'll fight back by eliminating the primary system or figuring out other ways. the constitution doesn't really set out the process for how el

maria: but imagine what dan patrick said earlier, i saw a sound bite of the deputy governor of texas, and he said, well, maybe we should take joe biden's name off of the ballot in texas. maybe because of all of the dereliction of duty that we're seeing from this guy by allowing 8-10 million illegals come into the country, that's what things are like going against the constitution spark, ideas from other states, brian. >> yeah. talk about the impeach impeachable offenses, the dereliction of duty at the border, to me, is on the top of that list. i get a little disspiritted though when i see our elected officials saying they don't have any curiosity -- maria: that's what lindsey graham just said. what is he thinking? >> i think one of your main things should be curiosity about whether our sitting president is compromised by our greatest adversaries. at least show the american people a little curiosity, senator9 what's going on -- maria: was he just speaking to his audience because he was on nbc? >> we don't pay him to speak to that audience or this audience, we pay him to do his job, and

14th amendment is or what it says last night on fox news, texas' right-wing lieutenant governor dan patrickto retaliate against joe biden by throwing him off the ballot for the crime of being joe biden >> seeing what happened in colorado, laura makes me think except we believe in democracy in texas, maybe we should take joe biden off the ballot in texas for allowing 8 million people to cross the border since he's been president. >> seth: i'm sure joe biden is terrified. now he has no shot to win texas? [ light laughter ] but he was so close! joe biden could wear a rhinestone belt and snakeskin boots while throwing a super bowl-winning touchdown pass for the cowboys and he still wouldn't win the state of texas. [ light laughter ] honestly, i'd love if you could take him off the ballot there so we don't have to get our hopes up like we do every year maybe even do us a favor and take biden off the ballot in florida, too save us all some grief i mean every year, florida [ bleep ] us it starts out blue and you're like, "all right, everything's gonna be all right." and then the state turns red an
