jason chaffetz joining us and leslie marshall, another fox news contributor and democratic strategists which i took a look at those numbers and when you are talking a margin of less than 2000 votes reminds me in some ways of election night 2016 when you were just watching every last vote come in. are you surprised as most people are to see this race so close from the garden state? >> yes, going into this, governor murphy was 9 percentage points ahead and if he does pull this off and i think he will although it will be very close, much closer than i feel comfortable with, that is a call to democrats. i said this before and wrote it in my piece for fox, whether mcauliffe lost virginia or won virginia, if you win, by a very tight margin and either party knows this it is a red flag. there is an alarm that goes out and you've got to say what did we do wrong, what can we do better, how do we not repeat this and that is the same thing going on in new jersey. in new jersey we have middlesex, s6, bergen have votes coming in, they still have mail in votes that come in and all of that does typica

jason chaffetz fox news contributor. i don't know if you listen to other networks.ll tell you to ride your bike to grandma's. msnbc said it was an anchor suggesting turkey prices were up so find an alternative. this is an answer? the reality for many americans as the president just is off to a lovely holiday weekend. >> spam isn't bad this time of year. if you pull it out of your food storage and have a little spam. come on, it is much more expensive. the driving is more expensive and look, what i really feel for are people on fixed incomes. people that can't get a second job. these people -- this is very devastating to them. we can make light or jokes on the white house can make jokes and say the turkey is $1 more. add it all up time after time and sandra, what is so infuriating is this is totally avoidable. what biden and harris did was on purpose. it is a purposeful effect. it wasn't just oh my gosh, look at the prices went up. there is a reason why they went up. it is because the democrats instituted their policy. >> sandra: you got it. this is something most am

you with reaction, fox news contributor jason chaffetz.tz, i look at this and i see a clear double standard. what happened in the summer of 2020 could never happen again. but nor what happened in the summer of 2020 could that ever happen again. >> you are absolutely right. i was on the house floor, general was horrible. and those responsible should ben held accountable in accordance with the law, not held unjustly and on charged for months and years. but to your point, absolutely nothing, crickets when it comes to the businesses destroyed, the families destroyed, the cities that were gutted, the minority communities that were disproportionately harmed, the police officers that were killed. we have silence. but what really strikes me and kills me about this january 6 commission is it's the investigation after they already determined with impeachment that trump was guilty. but now they want to have an investigation to kind of back up their own bias and what they had already predetermined with no investigation at all.ed it's ridiculous, it's

jason chaffetz. thank you very much. good to have you here today. so another fox news alert for you. obviously we are watching the situation in kenosha really closely right now. anything could happen at any minute. they are in day four of deliberations in his trial, the 18-year-old defendant faces life in prison if he is con viktd on the most serious charge of first degree intentional homicide. so yesterday the judge had to step in and scold and ban msnbc from the courtroom for the rest of the duration here because they had a freelance reporter who was accused of trying to follow the jury bus and take pictures of it. the network says they did neither but they are banned because of the incident. so alexa mcadams is live as she has been throughout the course of it in kenosha, wisconsin. good to see you today. >> hi. we're waiting for something to happen. it could happen at any moment here for the trial in the kyle rittenhouse case. a few moments ago the mother of kyle walked into the courthouse. she hasn't been here since deliberation started. at this

we do have with us, no, jason chaffetz is later.ay the market the future of the market depends to some degree on what president biden does about omicron. what say you? >> i agree, to some degree there's other things like inflation, like the supply chain issue, the labor shortage, but when it comes to how the government handles this variant and any variant going forward, i think we're in a place now where a lot of people are more afraid of how the government is going to handle the variant than they are of the variant themselves. i mean, the fact that we get a state of emergency in the state of new york last night shows that these people have gone off the reservation and are doing things that are detrimental and add more fuel to the fire when it comes to the economy. stuart: i'd be very doubtful though that the president would suggest we need new lockdowns or new restrictions or new mandates. i don't think the public is in a mood for that. no, i think he would have a lot of backlash from that but i think there's also the international

jason chaffetz is a former congressman from utah. economists warned congress that no stimulus was needed and that new spending was bound to be inflationary. why did the biden administration ignore this fact? >> i don't know. i got to tell you it's the biden/harris administration and their policies making this situation worse. the labor participation rate you still have millions of people not participating because they are being paid by the federal government not to participate. our national debt is playing a role here. we are playing north of 1.5-billion dollars per day in interest on national debt. if the interest rates rise that could be an untenable number. that's a huge number out there. remember, the biden/harris administration cut off the supply. one of the key factors here is the cost of fuel and energy in this country. they could say -- the democrats could try to spin that as a good thing but it hurts people with fixed incomes who are out there working and have to pay an extra dollar a gallon to drive to work. americans have

carley: jason chaffetz delivered a heartfelt holiday message saying thanksgiving is a time to realize the magnitude of being american despite the challenges we face. >> thanksgiving is one of our nation's greatest moments and i hope we do posit give thanks to men and women serving overseas. there's a lot to be grateful for in the united states. the fact that you are born here gives you an advantage in this world and the freedoms, the hundreds of years of history in our country, all those freedoms didn't come by accident. men and women laid down their lives to make it so prosperous. there's a lot of discussion about covid but take a deep breath and be with your family and loved ones and enjoy cranberries. got to love a holiday that focuses on cranberries. benjamin: 14 after the hour, the president hailed the afghanistan historic, republicans are demanding answers. >> there is no way to properly that people. this is what we expected from this administration that has screwed up everything they have touched. benjamin: national security expert robert charles is on deck to discuss the modul

jason chaffetz. we'll see what the president says next hour.t biden: all across this nation we can say with confidence america is coming back together. today we are closer than ever to declaring our independence from a deadly virus. thanks to our heroic vaccine efforts, we've gained the upper hand against this virus. we can live our lives. >> bill: that was five months ago. what now, jason? >> well, that didn't really turn out to be true, mr. president. we haven't seen the independence. president biden is out there saying wear a mask and then over the holiday he is spotted in the store not wearing a mask. 12 people get the sniffles in south africa they shut down the country and travel. the southern border is wide open and we have people by the hundreds of thousands coming into this country. and then ron desantis in florida has the lowest rate of covid right now in the nation. and all they've done is try to beat him up and say he has done it wrong and create the death trap in florida. florida is doing the best. there is nothing that i think the

jason chaffetz and rnc committee will meet for california harmeet dhillon. you tonight, great to have you. >> good morning and good evening, shannon. >> quite a visual early tonight when glenn youngkin had taken to the stage as governor-elect of virginia to give a victory speech at the same time president biden was returning on air force one and the east coast returning to washington. he had been fighting on the hill to get some big packages done and he went out to lend his voice to get this mcauliffe win in virginia as well. he's got a tough road in trying to get anything done on the hill. the party is split. this win in virginia, the race new jersey way closer than what people thought it would be. what does the white house do now? >> they better reevaluate. but i do not think they will. i think they are very tone-deaf as to what america is thinking about. i think the democrats in congress have been acting as if they had some sort of national mandate and they never did. i think terry mcauliffe personified the arrogance of the democratic party. they just wer

really quickly, former utah congressman jason chaffetz was in focus last hour. watch. >> energy wins enthusiasm elections, entered enthusiasm wins elections, i think terry mcauliffe is a desperate and throwing every thing up on the wall. virginian saw him as governor for four years and i think mcauliffe is falling apart. >> harris: charlie, you get last word. >> charlie: it was amazing, president obama showed up campaigning for mcauliffe last week in richmond on the university campus, in the city of richmond and attracted a thousand people to his rally. this is barack obama. meanwhile glenn youngkin on his own was outside at a place called short pump in the middle of a field and he got 3,000 people to his event on the same day. so clearly the enthusiasm is, they are running away with the enthusiasm. but one last point, let's not lose sight of the fact that with those characters that went and did their false flag operations outside of the youngkin bus, they were all virginia democrat senate work for the state -- and several them work for the state party. the stat

leslie marshall and jason chaffetz.o want to begin by asking you, leslie, and the truth is when i look at a race like this one, i'm always reminded of what we say every election that happens in the united states, the democrats get out the birds early, and often come in with huge swaths late in the race because the larger counties tend to have their votes counted last. so based on all that, is it still your suspicion that this is a murphy victory yet to happen? >> yes. because of essex and sussex counties that are typically democratic. look, i've seen them pulling off but not that far. murphy has had a healthy lead going into this election and we are still looking like newark and other places that are very heavily democratic and very heavily pro-murphy. so if i had to say i predict murphy, and in virginia i wasn't really sure who to predict. i knew it was a possibility that mcauliffe would lose and that youngkin will win. i'm surprised he may not win via as large a margin that i would've predicted just a couple days ago.

jason chaffetz, great to see you. let's start off with the strategy to beat a republican now that's up by eight points and you don't have more than 24 hours. >> energy wins elections, enthusiasm wins elections and policy wins elections. youngkin is winning in all three categories. i think terry mccauliffe is desperate and throwing everything on the wall. he doesn't know what he stands for and virginians saw him as governor for four years and mccauliffe is falling apart. youngkin having in loudon county where the democrats won by 25% to have a rally with parents about education is just spot on. it is the heart of what the election is really about. >> harris: i don't know if he gets it done this late in the game. it has been cooking with gas for a long time on crt in loudon county, critical race theory. go ahead. >> it is late in the game. the ones that will actually sway this are the independents. in terry mccauliffe's own word joe biden and democrat agenda has been a headwind in virginia. i think independents understa

former house oversight committee chair jason chaffetz. welcome back.bit of a readout from the white house and president biden's conversation with president xi and it says there was no mention of covid-19 origins. there were some discussions about human rights issues president biden raised in on the issue of taiwan president biden underscored that the u.s. remains committed to the one china policy. morgan, a lot of this bubbles back to your years in the state department had what do you make of what we are hearing? >> like i have memorized that line on taiwan and set it a few hundred times myself. he was government policy is standard language. talking about the number of chinese incursions into taiwan. not to their airspace but in their air defense area. it's important that they brought it up. don't listen to what they say. look at what they do. they continue these incursions? too they continue to torment the people of taiwan? that's what i'm really looking for. of course not mentioning covid-19 guarantee is one thing, shannon. they are going get away wi

juan williams is a fox news analyst, former utah congressman jason chaffetz, and fox news political analystnksgiving. >> mike: your thoughts and what we are hearing what the presidents physical, the state if his health, 79 years old? m >> well, he's our oldest president, as you said. i think in keeping with that, it's just a good thing for him to be transparent with his medical procedures and medical hrecords. i think the white house was very, very transparent in telling us about the precancerous lesion that was found, the polyp that was removed. they don't seem to be treating it with any great urgency, they said he doesn't have to have another colonoscopy for 7-10 years, but the reality is thate lots of people are talking about his age. i think the critics use it as one of the ways that they, you know, buff at him, along with talking about hunter and talking about his gaffes and vice president harris, but the reality is at this point, you know, he's been performing pretty well. got the covid relief will come of the infrastructure bill, he may get build back better, the stock market i think

it is time for the sunday group, former republican congressman jason chaffetz from usa today susan pagehe washington post. the wall street journal broke the story this week there are 900 claims that have been filed, people say they suffered emotional distress when families were separated acting 2018 by the trump administration and rather than go to trial, the biden administration is considering a very healthy expensive settlement. it may make sense legally but it's hard to defend politically. >> a lot of americans differ distress of separation at 2018 but this number seems really high, the attack ads right themselves of this kind of payout happens. we know from the beginning president biden's lowest approval ratings have been around the issue of immigration this was when they get the numbers even worse. chris: literally, this would be a bigger payout than the u.s. military, the u.s. government pays to the next of kin to americans killed in combat and wars, i fully understand why it is so hard to stomach as susan said they came into the country illegally but on the other hand there's a l

stuart: jason chaffetz joins me now. has been hashed within his own administration. >> yeah. it is sort of like that submarine deal that he was oblivious to. i don't have a whole lot of confidence that he is actually in the loop because the department of justice and white house had days and days to refute this "wall street journal" report. they never did so i think it is garbage. i hope the policy would be but i think those wheels were in motion and the president was out of the loop and we need more. we need something in writing i think out of the department of justice and certainly the senators need to extract something more solidified than that and, do so soon, it is so offensive on every level. stuart: do you think the president's ability to do his job, i'm revving now to cognitive ability, do you think that was a factor in the elections on tuesday? >> i do. i think, for instance, in virginia, you have a massive amount of people who have served in the united states military. that played a factor how the perception of

but come on in, jason chaffetz, joining us this morning, please. doesn't seem to have a solution to this crisis. go. >> well, his policies that he it this place are exacerbating the situation. the labor rate participation is not nearly where it needs to be. the federal government is spending records amount of money and more on the way, and the president's promising even more on that. the energy sector in particular, i think, is just causing ripples all up and down the chain and what people are having to deal with. but i think the labor rate participation is probably as big as anything. people can't get the labor that they need to do what they need to do to supply the products, to proside the services that this -- provide the services that this country needs. stuart: this is a political problem as well as an economic problem. what does the president do, what do the democrats do if this inflation runs into next year, the federal reserve has to act at some point and you get a downturn in the market and a downturn in the economy? that's political poiso

jason chaffetz is with us this monday morning.re the markets waiting for manchin to lead the way cut back the spending plan, then the emerging group around him and kill it? >> these are not profiles. the united states senators have a big duty and responsibility. the media has not held them accountable and they have not asked them and they have not offered. they have not been leading out on this but the three senators know how devastating their vote in favor of this would be to any reelection effort that they have. you can only look to manchin and sinema as actually being strong enough to stand up and tell people what they believe and why they believe and why they think there are major flaws within the bill. the other three like mark kelly in arizona is absolutely nowhere and it's an embarrassment and i think the pay the price of the polls. stuart: you know congress very well having been a former congressman pre-take me through this. the bill back better past the house. now it goes to the senate to be chopped up to say the least. t
