there's a guy, john ratcliffe, former director of national intelligence, former prosecutor, member of congress, served incredibly well. obviously i've talked to chris su neu neu on a consistent basis as well. has a fantastic mind. mike pompeo is another person i believe has a strong -- he's perhaps -- naval academy grad, number one in his class. went to harvard law as well. i don't hold that against him though. so the truth is, he is just a brilliant man who has a strong backbone. someone i came into congress with. we've worked together really well. i've traveled with him. i understand and appreciate his commitment to america. what we need in my opinion is an optimistic, positive messenger and team, anchored in conservatism, that wants to make sure america remains the city on the hill and believe that our nation is not in decline that under president we have been a nation in retreat. >> senator, you made headlines yesterday and even today in "the new york times" when you were asked about the work stoppage of auto workers in michigan and your quote was, if you strike, you're fired. rem

john ratcliffe joins me now. former director of national intelligence. thanks for being here. what is your reaction? you listen to john kirby. i had a conversation with him about this last week in terms of why they get five people, we get five people and plus they get $6 billion released in this deal. he's insisting this is a good day for america. obviously everybody is glad for the families that these people came home but is this a good day in terms of our relationship with them? >> no. you know, john kirby is the same one that said they're proud of the work that they did in afghanistan and the withdrawal from afghanistan that caused so much trouble for the united states on the foreign policy front. he's in a difficult position. this is a very bad deal. it sets a very bad precedent. it degrades our national security posture and it degrades the national security posture of our allies, folks like israel and saudi arabia and even the ukrainians as a result of the $6 billion that will go to that terrorist regime that will use the money to target not just americans but american all

soon to be house speaker kevin mccarthy and director of national intelligence john ratcliffe both expressedoncern to hutchinson about the president a's erratically acknowledging he lost, backtracking and saying he didn't. are both men blame meadows. but it's trump who was most erratic. after the u.s. supreme court refuses to take up the non-sensical lawsuit files by texas to overturn states that biden won, trump pushes meadows, quote, why didn't we make more calls? we we needed to do more. trump continues in a statement that could have legal ramifications, quote, i don't want people to know we lost, mark, this is embarrassing. when multiple lawsuits an attempt to overturn the election do not come to fruition, january 6th becomes the fail safe. much of hutchinson's story abo that day were part of her testimony. >> i overheard the president saying something to the effect i don't care that they have weapons. they are not here to hurt me. >> reporter: in her book, she reveals for the first time she was groped by rudy giuliani backstage. quote, he moves towards me like a wolf closing in on its p

john ratcliffe, trump's top intel guy, says the chinese launched a massive antitrust disinformation campaignbigger than what the russians did in 2016. when the cia found out about beijing. >> reporter: trump relaxant, langley did nothing. that is not the only 2020 investigation being until shutdown. the fbi accident an investigation into the button campaign. the crime? campaign finance charges. hunter biden's -- hunter biden's back taxes were paid off before the election, $2 million. courtesy of the sugar brother. benefit of the biden campaign and any other world would be considered an illegal campaign contribution. the fbi was told to stand down. remember, donald trump was indicted on 34 counts for paying stormy daniels 135,000. something he would have done anyway. paid personally. but they wave of $2 million for the bidens? the fix has been in for the reelections running and the only thing that can stop it is a landslide. and that means it is up to you and all your friends and neighbors. here now, garrett ventry, former senior advisory for the senate judiciary committee and lee smith, auth

former texas congressman there, john ratcliffe, saying a government shutdown would not only be expensivefinancially, but it could cost republicans a shot at achieving their priorities. and that would include moving ahead with the impeachment inquiry into president biden. now let's get reaction from republican pennsyl lvania congressman dan meuse and congressman, i'm going to get to the impeachment inquiry in a minute, but just bottom line, do you have a group of republican lawmakers who are holdouts? they say no more, no more patches on this financial mess that we're in and that they want to talk about each individual spending bill, but how likely is that to be a successful? all your thoughts on the republicans just not being able to get their act together as some would claim. yeah, well, ashley, hey, great being with you. yeah, certainly we have 6 or 7 holdouts on a stopgap bill, a partial type of cr, but keeping something in mind mean this bill calls for an 11% reduction in in the discretionary spending that we can that we can affect. you see , i'm not sure if some of my colleagues on
