joe biden is president of the united states. this happened under joe biden's watch. he deserves a lot of credit. it doesn't mean that donald trump, his people, he's very unpredictable. it does not mean that that's good play a role. but we don't know. but and i will say that we don't know. and maybe it will come out at some point. donald trump's actual substantive role. we know what he said. but his substantive role, we don't know that right now. we will know and we may know because he will become the president. >> he will and this deal is fragile to begin with. and there are hostages that are still there, and there needs to be peace so that gaza can recover. humanitarian aid can go in, israelis can live in safety. and donald trump is a voice of reason right here, actually, governance, voice of reason. crazy is not the best way. >> sometimes i like it, i like crazy, and this and this hostage deal is is it that tom cotton this morning sent this this message on x saying lame duck joe biden is trying to cram down a bad deal on israel on his way out the door. >> what happ

we start on a high note, less than seven days, one week from today, joe biden will be out of the white house for good. donald trump will once again be the president of our country. joe was leaving behind a colossal mess for president trump, americas second largest city is in ruins, more than 40,000 acres gone, filled with homes and businesses and schools. we have a death toll of 24 and going higher, over 12,000 structures have been destroyed and the fires continued to burn completely out of control. water remain scarce or completely unavailable. blame is running rampant and last week the l.a. fire department was sent out to battle the blaze without water, crucial fire hydrants were dry. a key reservoir was completely empty. taxpayer-funded reservoirs, five of them that were supposed to be built, the voters approved of this and a referendum, they were never builds. nobody informed of the firefighters. they were completely ignored. the budget was cut. billions set aside for wind turbines, over 650 million federal state dollars allocated to make the port of los angeles green, whatever tha

he won by 3 million votes and joe biden was proud long by 7 million. whoever gets the most votes wins get the opportunity get beyond the problems of the electoral college and that something we do. and i would hope it's something we can get together and there's real progress we can make to talk to each other and we are not just drowning retaliation. >> thank you so much for joining us. [applause] they may be harder.

you talk about how joe biden put it last night. he was laying at his accompaniments. re is president biden from his farewell address. [video] pres. biden: it will take time to feel the full impact of all we have done together. but the seeds are planted and they will grow and they will bloom for decades to come. at home we have created nearly 17 million jobs. more than any other single administration in a single term. more people have health care than ever before. overseas we have strengthened nato. ukraine is still free. we pulled ahead of our competition with china. and so much more. i'm so proud of how much we have accomplished together for the american people. i wish the incoming administration success. i went america to succeed -- want america to succeed. that is why i will ensure a peaceful transition of power, to ensure that we lead by the power of our example. i have no doubt america is in a position to continue to succeed. that is why my farewell address tonight i want to win the country of some things that give me great concern. -- one the country. -- warn the

>> yes, i believe joe biden committed crimes. he was the closer of the biden family influence peddling schemes. we heard that from tony bobulinski. we essentially heard that from devon archer. the evidence would suggest that you asked how much money sean, they took in $27 million from our adversaries around the world. they can't say a thing that they did for the money. this is this is not counting the money. this is just suspicious wires from people in trouble in foreign countries, mostly adversarial countries, that they then laundered through a series of shell companies and then would, through incremental payments, give it to ten different biden family members, including joe biden. we caught a quarter of $1 million that went from an influence peddling scheme with with joe's brother, jim biden, directly to joe biden's bank account, $40,000 from which was 10% of 400,000, which was the fee hunter got from a chinese deal. 10% for the big guy that went into joe biden's account. we found through the investigation that hunter biden was

that trump's team did more in one meeting to sway israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu than joe bidenid all year. not that biden's team didn't do any work. of course they did. but hamas wasn't scared of president biden. and probably wasn't even sure if he was being kept in the loop. but the opposite is the case with trump. he was born to make deals. and he uses leverage when necessary and really smartly to get things done. even cnn had to concede that the trump factor was huge. >> the x-factor here is that donald trump is about to be president. and the very public pressure that he was putting on hamas and on israel to get this done. >> they are looking at what is going to happen the next four years. i think all of them knew that if there is no deal by january 20th, they would start on the wrong foot with donald trump. >> laura: i will say. that's an understatement. it's because trump hates seeing america get humiliated. he hates seeing america get ripped off. that's why he insisted on major new trade deals in his first term. but biden and his team zero trade deals in four years. and t

but there's also another person who's taking his photos down from the white house walls, joe biden. ple are worried about a second trump presidency, so last night's farewell address was a chance for the president to offer the nation some comfort. >> president biden in his final farewell address from the oval office delivered a stunning warning to the nation on his way out. >> the potential rise of a tech industrial complex that could pose real dangers. an oligarchy is taking shape in america of extreme wealth, power, and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy. >> jordan: okay! [nervous laughter] thanks for the encouragement, mr. president! i'm shitting my pants in comfort. look, i know you've only got a few days left, but don't just give us problems, maybe offer some solutions. "there's a dangerous threat of oligarchy from a rich elite. and that is why i'm pardoning luigi mangione. [cheers and applause] go get 'em, tiger." just spit falling here. but yes, biden used his last speech as president to warn us about a new american oligarchy. and you can tell the message h

it's appropriate to be talking about joe biden here at union station, mr. amtrak himself. barely recognize union station. pretty amazing that we have done it i. biden did put those trump years behind us and he beat donald trump by more than seven million votes, 300-6200 32 in the electoral college. we should never forget that. donald trump beat kamala harris by 3 million votes in this last election, but i think we need to keep some perspective about where america is. it is one of the great things about democracy that we have these pendulum swings and times and of course, anybody who was an incumbent during the post covid-19 inflationary period went down all over the world, left, right, and center. so we can forget that historical context. but i think that he was a great president who ranks right up there with some of the best from the 20th century like lyndon johnson, franklin roosevelt. we did massive investment in infrastructure. i sat there under donald trump. we had infrastructure weeks, infrastructure month, infrastructure barbecue but never had at infrastructure bill.

thanks to joe biden, over $80 billion -- -- $1800 billion has been. we lowered the cost of prussian prescription drugs, made historic gains in expanding health coverage. history will also remember joe biden for the violence against women act. he wrote the bill. he championed this while in the senate, bipartisan legislation aiming to make sure every woman can live free from violence and abuse. as chair of the senate judiciary committee, i'm proud to say that i worked with joe biden to confirm 235 judges to the federal bench under his leadership, including the first african american woman and former public defender as a member of the supreme court. that is only here at home. on the global stage, he restored faith in america as a world power, a global leader, and a responsive ally, one that would not tolerate post world war ii to be undermined by autocrats like vladimir putin. he defended ukraine, boosted competition with china. he oversaw the expansion of nato and its bolstering of defenses of its baltic members. most importantly, thanks to joe biden, t

but if joe biden is reelected, it's not going to be 2035. in 2025, we will have biden blackout and biden brownouts across this country because their policies are destroying our electric grid at a time when we could be heading towards world war three. and it's completely irresponsible. and another reason why we got to get president trump back in office. so i and then the last thing which tied back to energy, the lng export facilities, liquid natural gas president trump shut down nord stream two. he just shut it down. this is a giant pipeline coming from russia into europe. all of the allies that your relatives and others fought for in world war two fought and died in normandy so we could free western europe. they've been our allies for 70 years and then president trump, that'd be a bad idea. they were dependent on russia. russia's are adversary. and then what does joe biden immediately gets in, approves, approves it and then also in western europe is totally dependent on them and he shuts down our lng export capacity which would then supply i

and joe biden, postal service. that transition, right? he was supposed to come back in, provide normalcy say the adults are back, create a middle class foreign policy which means an industrial base, foreign policy. when the world is changing dramatically. and there's this thing called ai there. and in this embrace of what comes next, i think is a challenge not just for democrats and joe biden, but a challenge for the republicans as well challenge for our politics as people are facing what to do next with here in los angeles with the tragedy we've seen there or what you're thinking about for your family moving forward across the country. that's the moment that they're trying to catch. and i'm not sure that this speech that exactly that while wrapping up his legacy, which has been remarkable for the last 54 years. >> you said that the the world, the political world has changed for for him, that that america may not have heard him. tonight. so to speak and you said that's a challenge for trump is. well, i'm wondering if you can kind of drill

joe biden cannot or will not be the leader america needs. when it comes to domestic policy, things aren't any better than we are burning daylight. joe biden is in the seventh and weakness has he reversible consequences. we need a leader with vision and thank the correct our nation. great american stories have been turned into a dark chapter in that fear, doubt. some say it's worse because democrats have a darker motivation today democrats are about control. the question tonight what is the republican party going to do about it? abigail adams wrote habits are formed with difficulty. we confront greatness. as a party and the people. under lincoln, are republican party preserves the union which means from our earliest days preserving the dignity of every americans like to put together in times of turmoil the greatest country in human history. we brought together for, reason and representative government. in the constitution of the united states. and never be infringed on. a fair and equitable criminal justice system. and an unprecedented way th

one thing is clear, joe biden is going out and trying to collect as much as he can in terms of wins. the "washington post," how quiet democratic party has been defending him. chris coons, joe scarborough, this is best version of joe biden, from that to zero. so i guess they're saying don't let the door hit you as you leave. >> lawrence: also his legacy, they used to say he was a nice, honest man. his legacy, he is not an honest person. >> brian: james comer's report. >> lawrence: exactly, lied about his relationship with his son and business dealings and said he wasn't going to pardon him and he did that. this is opportunity for bipartisanship, i am not suggesting he not be a politician and say i'm responsible for this deal that just happened between hamas and israel. but to look at the reporter and laugh it off and say, what do you think, oh, in a co condescending way? are you kidding me? >> ainsley: does trump deserve credit for the ceasefire? he said, is that a joke 1234 >> steve: jacqui heinrich asked that question and it was a good one. over his four years, quotation that will li

but of course joe biden wants all the credit, too. mp getting praised by arab officials, who say trump did more to free hostages and reach a cease-fire then biden did all year. joe rolling out with his squad, kamala, antoni be, to act like he did all of the hard work and insisting people blame his success for if it alls apart. >> we are heading off to the next team a real opportunity for a better future for the middle east. take this exact framework of the deal proposed back in may, ex exact, and we got the world to endorse it. told my team to coordinate closely with the incoming team to make sure we are all speaking with the same voice. because that is what american presidents do. >> who gets credit for this, mr. president, you or trump? >> is that a joke? oh. thank you. >> jesse: the battle for credit, dana. >> dana: that will probably happen for a while here. i think it's pretty obvious that if this were going to get done under biden, it would have been done before now, and it is being done under -- certainly some of the conditions

let's also consider were joe biden is 40% 59% unfavorably in the cnn poll it was 33% favorable for joeen, 58% on favorable. the fond feelings people have for the last time he was in office compared to how they are feeling about the current president a of putting a minute strong position. >> how do you rate the transition so far this time around? one tone of things is striking e they really did have cabinet choices and some of the other things in mind. even the two or three at levels down you are seeing announcements before the inauguration. do you give it good marks? >> yes, i do. the one downside is they have got more than the normal quota of controversial nominees generally of one or two where they have got at least four to the cabinet. i am particularly impressed with both the quantity of appointments to the sub cabinet and the white house staff and to the quality of them. if you look at these people there's a great many people season in the first term in the area they are now being asked to come back to you. second of all they have very smart, it appears a very adept new if you wil

joe biden has obliterated his own party. i can't see any segment of his a presidency that has been anything other than an unmitigated disaster. well, thanks so much for data thing into all those issues with us this hour. it's been a pleasure seeing you and talking to political on the list. i'm radio talk show hosts mister garland next. thank you. thank you. now in the just stays away from the end of the bite and era, the u. s. main stream media appears to have had a pet fee of sorts when it comes to reporting on the war in gals that cbs has published interviews with the former white house officials, who should lights on the direct link between us on the supplies to israel. i'm the devastating debt told in the end the fragments of us bombs next to massacres of, of, to mostly children and that's the devastation it's been over whelming, we, children, these rallies were using those bonds. in some instances, to target one or 2 individuals in densely packed areas, what is happening and gaza would not be able to happen without us a

so usa today says joe biden can't leave fast enough. how does this cover-up and biden senility recast his legacy and all of the decisions he made throughout his four years, because again, the new york times and "wall street journal" is reporting they did purposely, from day one, circle the wagons, cutoff access to biden, shutdown his schedule, he started at 10, ended at 4:00 in the afternoon, they just ring-fenced him off from everybody because they knew about his decline. >> having served with president trump in the white house in the first term, it's not a 10-4:00 job. it's a 24 hour job. obviously joe biden wasn't up to it. but his legacy is one of failure. in large part because the policies he put in place hurt the american people. of course wide open southern border, wars breaking out all over the world, crippling inflation, crime speaking in our streets but this cover-up of his mental and physical decline, i think, still, is one of the biggest scandals in american history, especially as it relates to what people did for this presid

that abysmal performance by joe biden exposed all of them. democrat senator sheldon whitehouse admits as much saying reportedly if biden didn't drop out they couldn't continue to claim he was fit for office because, quote: they would be lying but, of course, they were lying all along. well long before biden withdrew from the race. that, my friends is something none of us should ever forget. because they were all consumed by their desire to hang on to power by any means necessary. and the democrat party and all their media cohorts, they continued the big lie while accusing trump of the big lie but lying to the american public about the mental fitness of our commander-in-chief. just so they could hold onto the proximity of power. and when they were caught, well, they just decided they subvert the will of the democratic primary voters and force their own nominee off the ticket. so, in the end, this remains one of the most egregious abuses of power we have ever seen in american politics. it's a scandal of lying, then it's a scandal of hopscotching

joe biden is sitting on a pillow. we don't know if it's just was a rough four years or whatever, but apparently he has taken now to sitting on pail low. apparently he needs all the support he can get. >> in that article from "the washington post. they interviewed joe biden, and it was at the beginning of january and just released. >> steve: there is the pillow. >> ainsley: where is the pillow? let me see. that white part? okay. she is at peace with this ending. disappointed on how it all unfolded and then the reporter said you are the keeper of family grudges. and she said you said that, i didn't. but then the reporter said in her book in her memoir she said joe had the capacity to forgive. is he incapable of holding a grudge. that ends up i end up being the holder of grudges. she went on to talk about nancy pelosi. she thinks he could serve for another four years. when he stepped down it was really hard that week in june. after the debate, she praised him. said you did a great job. you all the facts and then the next

and those will be joe biden�*s victories.ime to come to fruition, and he said that himself in his oval office address, and what you say is true, but how much of it is trump—proofed? how much of it will continue through the next four years in order to deliver the benefits over the longer term? and how much will donald trump be able to dismantle? well, i think it would be highly unusual if president—elect trump and his administration tried to undo any of the infrastructure investments. trump himself tried for four years to get a big infrastructure bill passed, and he failed, where biden succeeded. but these are things that are necessary for the country. they're in every congressional district in this country. the same is true for a lot of the investments in the inflation reduction act. many of those clean energyjobs that have been created, those manufacturing jobs, are in places that support donald trump. it is also difficult to see that president—elect trump is going to come into office and want to raise prices on pharmaceutic

president joe biden: i got i criticism understandably g.ng more in red states than blue state. that's in his report. >> president joe biden: for two reasons. first they>> screwed up in termy of the ways they handle their economy and factoring and ac access. >> reporter: and earlier joe biden spoke for ths.e fina l time in public as president delivering marks this remarks is the conference of mayors and as usual he was a wordsmith. >> we announced the next phase 15 drug subject to negotiation. drugs that treat cancer heart disease and diabetes among others. hard to say but it really is an incredible drop. the first question is an incredible drug? >> i don't know what troicki is on taking its not funny anymore. it's just bizarre. i watched biden and o'donnellik myth like watching two punch-drunk provosts playing go fish. the only two people on our view can actually understand eachn other saying you really get me will everybody else watching says i don't think the two old guys from them up it shouldba still beck together. with money watching m

in washington, good night. ♪ ♪ >> jesse: fox news alert, that was joe biden giving a farewell addressthe american people. although the american people bid biden farewell quite some time ago. specifically the democrats who staged a coup against him and now he is leaving is one of the most unpopular presidents of all time. the party is completely shut out of power and there is a lot of bad blood. he doesn't even speak to his best friend in washington, nancy pelosi of 50 years. he began things by posting about his legacy. not very much memorable. and then turned and issued three dark warnings to the country. oneness saying that we are on the cusp of an oligarchy, on extreme concentration of wealth. sounds a little bit or that mosque and zuckerberg and bezos abandoned him to mar-a-lago. and then warned about climate change and blame the wildfires from california on that. and then talked about the tech industrial complex. and the danger from ai. some cliches at the end, a nice gesture to kamala -- kamala and his family and there you have joe biden. one of the last times we will hear from h

think are laughable because in many ways the most disgraceful aspect of the last four years under joe biden has been the absolute politicization and weaponization of the department of justice to go after donald trump, to go after biden's enemies, to protect biden's political allies. i believe pam bondi is going to come in and restore integrity to the department of justice. what she made clear, what i and others made clear at the hearing, i don't want to see a republican department of justice or democrat department of justice. i want to department of justice that follows the law regardless of party and i believe that's exactly what pam bondi is going to do. >> sean: i was talking to speaker johnson a moment ago. while i would like to get one bill and get the economy moving and get everything fixed, i would be my desire. i understand there are strong argument on both sides for either one big beautiful bill or two bills. i don't think there is consensus yet. it looks like the house has decided to go with the one bill strategy. you maybe thought it would work better in the senate. i don't think

it would probably make joe biden dig in more. and that was what they were all kind of trying to triangulate around and make sure that wasn't what happened. if he felt that, if he got his back up, they knew this was a stubborn person. the commander in chief. these conversations are awkward. and so obama said to schumer, like, you may be a better messenger for this message. they all agreed that the message was, we urge you not to run. >> here's something else that i think speaks to the depth of the concern among democratic leaders. and i'll put this on the screen. it pertains to it pertains to jack reid, the senator from rhode island, quote, the usually quiet senator jack reed of rhode island, a west point graduate and former paratrooper, said he could no longer support his commander in chief unless mr. biden could produce two neurologists to issue a public report saying he was fit to serve and then hold a news conference where anyone could ask questions. when i read what you wrote with your colleague that graph, i said to myself,

he also worked as a staffer for joe biden when he was chairman of the senate foreign relations committee would say there were about, of a 17 minute speech, about five minutes they were really important. the beginning and the end were pretty standard. nothing that would surprise most people, but for five minutes, joe biden channelled another us president, ike eisenhower, and he mentioned specifically by name. this is where he gave warnings about the future. just as president eisenhower had warned of the military—industrial complex, joe biden warned of what he termed the tech industrial complex. he referred to tech billionaires and referred by many specifically to robber barons of previous gilded age. he warned of the dangers of ai, if unguarded and unregulated, and the huge impact that these tech billionaires are having on the american and international world system. to my mind, that was the most important part of the speech. biden is a one term president but some significant global events have happened under his watch. what do you think he'll be most remembered for? well, i think thatjoe

bush and joe biden.he's got a little steam, a little wind at his back going into this. >> i'm very happy to see those numbers. i think a lot of people are. there's a huge jump recently i've noticed in honesty about being able to be a trump supporter. i think we were demonized and threaten for so long and i also think censorship was a huge part of that. i think mark was coming up saying we were not honest about a lot of these things and we were pressured so to see those numbers is fantastic and i think his support is only going to grow from here. >> trace: a little time for some gossip so here we go.

s corps, joe biden, and the 1st lady jo button out of the capital. right. yeah. and they'll sort of, uh, i'm sure we'll have tv shots of that, but they will be driven away and he will no longer be president in the past. you know, there is this luncheon that takes place in the capital. many members of congress, calm and other dignitaries and so forth. and in the past, the former presidents who attend also attend that luncheon in this year, the 3 former presidents living former prizes and will be at the ceremony, have opted not to attend that luncheon. so that's another, uh perhaps it's a snob, perhaps it's just a break with tradition. while i haven't read a lot of explanation as to why that's, that's happening. but we certainly will see that the focus come full circle back to donald trump. uh, as soon as that uh is taken, but the, the winds picking up were starting to get some, some um, what is it ice and the ice and snow falling into the studio. but um, pretty, pretty soon after the swearing it. and so we said joe and joe biden leave, and then the tr

. >> at the very end of joe biden's presidency, we are just now learning about the very end of joe biden'sresidential campaign. the new york times is detailing how chuck schumer, the top democrat in the senate, was trying to persuade biden not to run. schumer's case was that biden was looking right on past the warning signs that would have made him a historical pariah and undone 50 years of democratic progress, not to mention his own legacy. schumer told biden directly that his pollsters knew he would lose. biden told schumer slightly off color rejoinder that you've got bigger balls than anyone i've ever met. that's probably true because there were a lot of people who did not want to do what schumer did. they didn't want to go down, you know, to delaware and sit in front of the president and say, mr. president, it's time to go. >> but schumer doesn't do anything without obama and pelosi. it's the three of them. he got picked to do the dirty work. but there's no question that the three of them were in in connection on this decision. and it's sad because i think everybody saw the decline. i

everybody could see that joe biden was an old man. think it's not like anybody was hiding this from the american public. >> there are different, is there to hide? >> we could see every time he spoke for the past four years, he was not. he was not. >> and he shouldn't have been at the resolute desk. >> you get a choice to whether to vote for him who was running the country. he was running the country. >> he was running the country. >> he was the one who passed, passed the infrastructure bill and passed and passed the chips act. >> who was the one who said that joe biden was at the top of his game? they said that joe biden was white. >> house is always say that stuff. >> nobody believes that his the white house, his allies. i mean, even the people who later, after they saw him at the debate, like nancy pelosi, they told people that everything was fine. so the idea that that everybody was acknowledging that joe biden, i thought he was i thought he was clearly too old five years ago when he first ran for president. >> i don't i don't know

that's no the what joe biden did. joe biden picked and chose which depraved murderers and rapists deserved to live and deserved to die, denying justice to the families of all those who were killed by anyone who wasn't totally politically toxic. second, the senator from illinois said he did not hear five words in my remarks. he repeatedly said he didn't hear five words in my remarks. those five words are life without the possibility of parole. that is true, he didn't hear those words in my remarks. that's not what these murderers were sentenced to. they were sentenced by a jury of their peers to the death penalty. one of them, that i offered the resolution on, anthony battle, murdered a correctional officer while he was in prison for life. giving these 37 depraved murderers life in prison without the possibilities of parole doesn't solve the problem, it creates 37 new potential problems. open hunting season on correctional officers at every facility where they're incar incarcerated. again, that is why we have the death

it was joe biden. just think about how rich an opportunity that is for rudy giuliani, who wants to prove himself for donald trump. >> giuliani had one aim and one aim only, and that was how to up joe biden. >> you can't make this stuff up. joe biden's son, hunter biden, was making money off of a company owned by a ukrainian oligarch. if giuliani could somehow find a connection between joe biden taking official action to help his son enrich himself in ukraine, he thinks that's going to be a golden moment for donald trump over the beginning of 2019, i start getting texts from rudy about ukraine, texts about how hunter biden was corrupt in ukraine, and people need to look into this at this point, giuliani has really left truth and facts to the side. he has fully joined the conspiratorial mentality of president trump and his administration. totally signed on to that. >> rudy wants to build a case, so he goes to get evidence. now, one of the problems is, is he falls into this murky world of russia and ukrai

but they said that this is the deal, the us president joe biden put forward in may. so more than 8 months ago now, why now could it be happening? well, again, donald trump's going to be president in 6 days and to 2 hours about that'll be when he, the day starts for his not duration. and he has said that if the captains are not released, when he takes the oath of office, there will be all hell out all hell will break loose to use his words, not mine. and so there is a greater urgency because he is seen as perhaps take heed off whatever the republicans think are restrictions with fight and ministration has placed on the israeli government. they often make that claim, but it's not clear that us president joe biden has actually bring in the is really, as in this more than a year of conflict. but still, there is certainly momentum by your deal smell, or it's going so far to release a statement on mondays saying quotes now is the time to cleanse in occupied garza rather than engaging in any sort of deal. but none the less the detail would have emerged from the deal show th

let's be clear, stephen is not the only democratic voter with regrets, joe biden is leaving office for record, low approval rating, a vast majority of view. the american people believe his presidency was a failure, it was. today he needed help just walking into a room, it sad, it's humiliating, what a terrible end to a terrible four years, and tragically,'s biggest failure will likely be felt years to come. as all of his unvented illegal immigrants continue to commit murders and and other violent crimes and the known tariffs that he has allowed into our country. i pray to god this never happens, but it probably will. the odds are very high. when it does, the blood will be on joe's hands, kamala harris hands and frankly all of the other law enforcement that turned a blind eye to not enforce the law. meanwhile trump has never been more popular, recent fox news polls show a majority of americans approving of donald trump's transition and that is not all, business leaders now lining up to meet with donald trump, donating big dollars to his inauguration in fact donald trump's inaugural comm

and i will tell you, i think history will not be kind to joe biden. i think as a result of this national security disaster of unvested illegals, that will be his legacy. crimes will continue to be committed, terror attacks are very likely. and he allowed that to happen on his watch. i think he will go down in history as one of the worst presidents ever. your thoughts? >> i believe he will and i believe there is no one more excited for donald trump's inauguration then jessica and the rest of the democrat party. because in a couple short days, they will no longer have to defend the horror that was the biden-harris administration. i think the democrat party is hoping that they can conveniently erase the last four years because i don't think they want that on their record around their tab. and i will tell you this. when it comes to moderating his campaign promises, donald trump makes promises and he keeps them to the best of his ability. i would love it, jessica, if the democrats in congress would say we are going to give you the funds that you need to de

and so i think that's a very important point for joe biden. we have to just space it has been effective in this last year and a half, essentially of trying to move humanitarian aid to palestine to try to shape and direct how is real prosecuted. this conflict, all of that divided the team, had been largely unaffected and effective or unwilling to think on willing. i mean, if he wants to do it and the us president wanted to force these, riley's, they hold all the cards, they hold all the money, they hold all the weapons, the vast majority of weapons and munitions that have been dropped on gauze that killing more than 46000 people, all americans and various points. they teased the idea they might do something and they have never at any point done in the thing. they have this deal present, but even a bit it was his deal in may. they had this deal in may when the associates except some palestinians killed 10000 people died. if he post honda, they wouldn't have died of the role. and so you have the, as really is you have the categories, you have the
