a good example is tony gonzalez who was in a fight for his seed because he is a republican primary opponentpo? he took full of folks who are not along the orthodoxy we are there and we will support him and that is something that some of the voters can do. not aligned with incentives to buck your party it is just the f4opposite but thats what we need to recognize and support and that is what with honor action does. host: how well the job does the government do in preparing them for civilian life? guest: i think the government is doing a better job than when i got out in 2006 where youansitim that lasted 24 hours and then you are out. in my case i had a great network andere looking out for me i missed my father was a veteran. i have a soft landing but what is happened over time is making that program more robust the transition assistance program and working with our top companies who are looking to hire veterans. they may notice an investment on the front and because they have to teach them skills but it's in their self-interest because you will get someone who will run through walls for you

representative tony gonzalez, thank you for your time. >> thanks, griff. aishah: all right, let's go to the other side of the aisle now, democratic congressman from massachusetts and member of the house transportation committee and the select committee on china, the perfect guest for our topic today the, jake audiocassetten close. happy saturday to you. thanks for joining us. so, congressman, first off, let's talk about tiktok. this is just so crazy, what's happening now. tiktok seems to be at war with capitol hill. very, very upset about in this possible bill that might pass in the house and in the senate. i'm hearing that the offices in the house are getting inundated with phone calls from middle school students, some folks -- some kids that are saying they commit suicide if you guys get rid of tiktok. is your office getting a lot of phone calls? >> we didn't probably because i'm not on the committee of jurisdiction, but that behavior you hear from tick texas proves the point, doesn't it -- tiktok, doesn't it? we need to take on the greed of these social

parliament was the four country caucus group of 30 veterans, bipartisan across party lines led by tony gonzalez and navy v and jason crow who was an afghanistan army ranger and that group has consistently been on the front lines of advocating for the right type of support. jared goldman has introduced a piece of legislation called defending borders democracies an alternative to the ability to assist ukraine if the senate bill does not passint those are the types of actionsr. host: when it comes to ukraine is there a veterans case to be made for the continuing activity there? guest: this is not about one particular country it's about the fight for democracy versus autocracy. we have done an amazing job so far with providing assistance to enable ukraine on the front lines. we worked with one of the veteran members of the four country caucus and we saw the battlefield for two years. their morale remains high because it's an existential fight for them. host: when it comes to other veterans issues what top sought list? guest: the key pieces of legislation that's been around mental health. moulton wh

victor, you are running in the primary on tuesday against tony gonzalez, republican, in your texas district or i'll tell you, we need to restore accountability. i'm going to bring back integrity to the important position. but most of all, like i said before, people are wanting their representative to be present. tony if gonzalez has abandoned this destruct and has betrayed us because of his votes in congress. we're talking about votes for -- [inaudible] in the military, killing border security bills, voting for january 6th committee. this is not what he said, his own words, that he said he was going to bring conservative values to his district. and the people are going to hold him accountable. that's why we have this primary system. i'm going to bring my boots on the ground experience as a federal agent, as a subject mattering ebert in human trafficking investigations and especially any experience as a tip lo mat in mexico -- diplomat in mexico and europe. i'm going to join the new administration to bring solutions for the border. rachel: yep. you're a former i.c.e. agent, is that correct?

congressman tony gonzalez joins us this morning. with nine arrested, but there were certainly a lot more there. were many others able to get into the country? >> good morning ashley, thank you for having me. yes,sing they were. and this is the part that's frustrating. of course those nine people that were, that were charged should immediately be deported, but honestly anyone who comes over illegally whether they assault someone or not, they have broken the law. there has to be repercussions for our laws, and if they must be deported immediately. what i've been seeing, as you know, i represent two-thirds of the texas/mechanic coe border. i've seen the -- can mexico border. i've seen the people coming over illegally getting more and more dangerous, more and more brazen towards breaking laws and showing throughout the country more and more cities are unsafe as these people get spread around. ashley: you look at the video, congressman, it just looks like adult single males, apparently many of them had weapons on them, makeshift knives a

narrooww it down the biggest name that comes to mind is matt gaetz down in texas to campaign against tony gonzalezbent, a runoff against a sort of social media probebu influencer. but he has also been involved in other races.oss congressman mike voss raised against the aaron bailey, which not so successful was mike vosst was able to pull aheado in that one. so, already mixed results, but it goes to show there is a broader fight for control ofgop what the house g.o.p. conference is going to look like. and matt gaetz and johnson are on two different sides very much like mccarthy previously. t is beginning to look like a minority if they keep doing this. they have apparently more energy for fighting with one another than they do fighting anything else. you mentiong an illinois, you t mention texas, and virginia, current active members campaigning against the head of the freedom caucus, correct? >> correct.eedo this race is interesting.ma one is my hometown. we have chairman bob good whoen first decided to endorse ron desantis over donald trump. there is an element of this question, will donald trump

congressman tony gonzalez talking about the back-and-forth , texas law. court gives on the right to go in and enforce the law, the immigration law, and now it's back on hold and congressman gonzalez said the following... >> if the biden administration spent as much time trying to fix the border as they are trying to block things from happening, americans would be a whole lot safer for that. i'm tired of the back-and-forth. >> everyone is tired of the back-and-forth. they could just close the border, it would benefit so many people who live in that area and across the country. >> absolutely. i mean people in texas are incredibly concerned about the border. two thirds overall including just over half of democrats too. people in texas, the governor -- they back the governor in his action but seven in ten americans think texas should take action against the state. >> trace: i want to do a little politics now because there are polls we just got. we have trump 51% and biden 47%. that's a change. the whole landscape is kind of changing. it's early still but thos

this law is different because as before mirrors rather than contradicts federal law congressman tony gonzalez says that president joe biden is purposely stopping texas from protecting its border >> governor abbott doing everything he possibly can to keep texans and american safe and joe biden is doing the exact opposite. >> reporter: the border patrol announced the rest of his colombian national in el paso agents found photos on his phone of people being tortured he also has tattoos indicating he is a gang member and over 150 migrants crossed the border illegally today in california many expect that if sp four goes in to effect illegal crossings will skyrocket in new mexico, arizona, california, we are still waiting on a ruling from that three-judge panel regarding what the next two weeks will look like before the entire law is considered coming up on april 3rd we send it back to you the seven absolutely, a huge story that the whole country is watching very closely a battle of a state's right to protect itself versus the federal government hand with that let's bring in katy our townhall.com e

republican congressman tony gonzalez says this will not be solved until there's either a new presidentor clear policy changes from president joe biden. >> i have given up on joe biden doing what is right. it is very clear we are going into year four of this sort of crisis. this is exactly what they wanted. the only way this stops is a new administration. a new president. i cannot imagine what your five, six, seven, eight looks like under joe biden. >> meanwhile democrats call on republicans to pass a bipartisan border bill in congress. this happens as texas awaits a key ruling on senate bill four which would allow the state to arrest and possibly deport migrants across the border illegally without turning them over to border patrol but democrat congresswoman is against as before, listen to this. >> what happens to el paso and who is accused of being here illegally who might not have id on him? there are a whole lot of questions that need to be answered. >> eric, source with dps says troopers would only pursue suspects that they knew cross the border illegally paid whether it be from se

meanwhile, go to tony gonzalez from texas kind enough to join us again. congressman great having you. first of all i want to get to the border, but first your thoughts on aid and gaza relief that the administration is providing. obviously it's come dated thing for the israeli government here and puts us at loggerheads maybe with the best humanitarian intentions, but you know the drill, it's being received differently in tel aviv maybe than it is here, what do you think. >> thank you for having me, neil. having spent 20 years in the military, five years in iraq and afghanistan, i think back to the time where we were bombing the taliban and also delivering aid to the people of afghanistan at the same time. and that's the difficult part that i think israel is dealing with. how do you separate hamas from the people of palestine, i mean, the people of gaza that live there. how do you separate those two? nobody wants to see the images of hundreds of people getting run over by aid trucks, at the same time, nobody wants-- nobody wanted to see october 7th. this is

republican congressman tony gonzalez said the bite administration is incentivizing more illegal crossings seeing the biden administration reward bad behavior. if you break the law you get ahead. if you cheat the system, you get ahead. >> speaking of the new numbers take a look at t this. over 189,000 migrant encounters at the southern border in february. that's the highest february ever recorded. also, so far this fiscal year border patrol agents arrested 70 people on the fbi terror watch list. a 112 criminals with prior convictions for offenses. these right here you see five child predators a for they have felony convictions that include sexual assault of a child. a criminal sexual contact of a minor under 13. this all happened texas so it's a key ruling on senate bill four which would allow the state to arrest and deport migrants who cross the border illegally. that ruling will determine if texas can enforce that law over the next two weeks or so there's another hearing coming up april 3 the judges will hear arguments about whether or not the laws unconstitutional. we will send it back

republicans in congress say that's a waste of money and that could be better spent elsewhere, and tony gonzalezhe won't vote for a bill to continue giving money to dhs to do what they're doing. it does nothing for catch and release, or stop abuse of patrolling authorities. and we're waiting for an appeals court regard senate bill 4 which would allow texas to arrest and possibly deport without turning them over to border patrol. back to you. neil: thank you for that, nate. we have a lot more coming up here, including trying to get the latest on the tik tok for donald trump j trump half nearly half a billion bucks. can he do it? what happens if he doesn't. and if you've made the deployments and you've been the wife at home, or you've been the spouse at home, you understand what i'm talking about. your spouse has earned the right to apply for a va home loan. the newday 100 loan allows you to borrow up to 100% of your home's value. so if you're in a situation where you need some help financially, give us a call. hi, i'm david, and i lost 92 pounds on golo. i noticed within a week that the release s

congressman tony gonzalez tells fox the biden administration doesn't use the authority it already hasmuch time trying to fix the border as they are trying to block things from happening, americans would be a whole lot safer for that. i'm tired of the back and forth. >> so sb4 would make illegal border crossings a state crime. that means migrants found crossing the border illegally like you are watching right now on your screen could be arrested and sent back to mexico. the mexican government says it won't comply if the law does go into effect. ministry of foreign affairs says mexico categorically rejects any measure that allows state or local authorities to exercise immigration control and return nationals or foreigners to mexican territory. it will not accept migrants expelled by texas under any circumstances. the white house says the law will create more chaos at the border and pointing the finger at texas governor greg abbott. >> another example of what we have seen from the governor of texas, governor abbott attempting to politicize what is happening at the border and what's happe

republican congressman tony gonzalez says the money goes to the wrong places. >> when you give more fundingo more processing centers without having immigration judges they are thereto expedite cases and n ultimately remove it people immediately that do not qualify for asylum. all you are doing is creating a huge magnet that increases the amount of people coming over illegally for. >> dhs secretary mayorkas wants more money posting on x quote what congress passed falls short in key areas and does not address chronic underfunding of dhs. texas on the biden administration now await a key ruling on senate bill four which would allow texas to arrest and deport migrants who cross the border illegally. >> that ruling could come at any moment. it will determine if texas can force sb four of the next 10 days then there will be another hearing about whether or not the law is unconstitutional coming up on april 3. we will send it back to you. to succeed nay audit trey yingst live from tel aviv. hi trey. >> good morning paired horrific scenes out of russia this weekend as isis-k launched a large-scale

here is republican congressman tony gonzalez talking about that. >> we're seeing the biden administrationbehavior. if you break the law, you get ahe ahead. >> new cbp numbers show over 189,000 migrant encounters at the southern border in february. that's the highest february recorded and fiscal year, border patrol agents have released 70 people on the fbi watch list and 112 criminals for prior convictions for sex offenses. five on the screen are child predators, they have felony convictions that include sexual assault of a child and criminal sexual contact of a minor under 13. take a live look at our fox news drone, eagle pass, eight migrants just crossed illegally, and this happens as texas awaits a key ruling on senate bill 4, who look at those who cross illegally. that ruling will determine if texas can enforce sb4 in the interim before the court will again hear arguments whether or not the law is unconstitutional coming up on april 3rd. back to you, aishah. aishah: thank you, nate foy. griff: more on the surge in the southern border, let's bring in texas department of public safety, l

i want to show you a tweet from congressman tony gonzalez, the republican congressman who representshe eagle pass area. quote: i have a 23-year-old daughter, and this is well beyond the politics. wherever you live in this country, you don't feel safe. so would you call that illegal alien that killed laken riley a newcomer? i wouldn't. i'd call them a criminal. finally, larry, i asked president biden -- i shouted a question, do you bear any if responsibility for lake aren riley's death can as a result of your policies. he ignored me, turned around and walked out of the room. larry? larry: yeah. you know, griff, mr. trump actually called her parents to offer his condolences. biden, of course, ignores the whole situation. that kind of wraps it up for me. but anyway, griff jenkins, you're terrific, as always. come back to me on set. i want to talk to you on if set. [laughter] all right, folks, my quick thoughts before we bring in senator black burp. with -- blackburn. i haven't seen any if specific references yet to two very important laws passed by congress and signed by other president

meanwhile, tony gonzalez, who representatives this area, says texas has had enough. >> i hear from residents in the district and border communities, we are exhausted. people have had enough. we want our lives back and it's very clear that joe biden started this crisis. >> and texas is the biggest -- second biggest prize, sandra, 150 gop delegates up for grabs and if trump can win the majority statewide, it would be winner take all for him. sandra. >> sandra: griff, thank you. and we will have super tuesday covered for you, and don't miss special live coverage tonight once polls begin to close, 7:00 p.m. eastern time with bret baier and martha maccallum leading our coverage live from new york. and john, i really do think it's going to come down to a question on the economy in some of these states, where voters head to the polls and they look back at their life three years ago and compare to what it is now, economy, inflation, rising prices and while this is an administration that is telling them that things are better and economic policies are working, poll after poll and look back at the fox

congressman tony gonzalez remits that district and he posted on x "there is nothing safe and orderly this. it's a break in. it's illegal. there needs to be consequences. as we take a live look at fox news drone right now, those consequences, liz, are unclear right now. texas is still awaiting an appeals court ruling that will determine if the state can enforce senate bill 4 for the next two weeks. the law allows texas to arrest and deport migrants that cross the border illegally. the court will hear arguments about whether or not it's unconstitutional coming up on april 3, but texas isn't the only state doing this. arizona is now considering a similar bill that in my ways resembles sb4 so we'll see what happens with that as illegal crossings skyrocket in the western states. back to you. elizabeth: always great reporting, nate foy. thank you so much. bring in sheriff thadeus cleveland of terrell county, texas. great to have you on, sheriff. we have a migrant from venezuela going viral on social media telling illegal immigrants to actually invade american's homes and invoke squatter's

but congressman tony gonzalez says more money won't fix this crisis. >> the number one reason why i votedwere no border security policy changes. we have to fix the problem, and that problem gets fixed with policy changes, not just throwing more money at the equation. >> reporter: democrat congresswoman veronica escobar voted yes on the spending package, and she opposes senate bill 4 which would allow texas to arrest and deport migrants who cross the border illegal arely. but lieutenant chris old -- oliveras says resources are ready. >> there's no way the state of texas is qualifieded or prepared to be -- qualified or prepared to be a brand new immigration force. >> we have the tools in place, but the federal government continues to challenge us with lawsuits that try to stop governor abbott from doing his job, and that's e protecting his state and also the country. >> reporter: mike, take a look at this human smuggling chase out of kenney county. the driver and his front seat passenger are both illegal immigrants from venezuela. heir going over 100 miles an hour. you can see the car catch

23, swing district for the last three decades is going to go into a runoff because you've got tony gonzalez. latinos are consistently voting pocketbook issues but border security and trump ignited that movement. we expect that to continue along the sun belt with more states facing this crisis on the border looking for trump as an alternative. >> norah: leslie, thank you. this talk about the economy. cbs news poll found registered voters remember the economy is better under donald trump than the current president. they also believe joe biden's policies are more likely to make prices go up than trump's policies. let's bring in senior business and technology correspondent. the stock market soaring, low unemployment, inflation cooling and yet for many people it's the costs that have gone up at the grocery store. >> yes. that compounding effect of inflation and that's exactly what the former president donald trump is going to be taking out on the campaign trail. tonight at mar-a-lago he just said we had no inflation. he's playing off the sentiment that so many voters are expressing in our cbs ne

tony gonzalez kind enough to join us now from texas.he president is ready to blame you, republicans and the aggregate for shooting down the first bipartisan attempt to get some order at the border. you say? >> thank you for having me, neil. i say the senate could not pass that bill to blame someone on a bill that couldn't make it out of the senate chambers is nonsense. i'll be very frank. i do not care what joe biden has to say. i have given up on joe biden. joe biden has lied to me for the last time. when i met with him in uvalde, i asked him respectfully to speak with him on the border on how we solve this together. he said he would do that. he lied to my face. nearly two years later, we've yet to have a conversation. whatever the president says, whatever joe biden says tonight, his actions do not line up with those words. >> neil: let's say he does offer some actions late, in the eyes of many, including you, dealing with the amnesty issue and more to the point those seeking asylum here, might be tinkering around the edges. we don't k

i think brandon herrera would be an improvement over for tony gonzalez where if you have a challenger prevail over the incumbent in not only changes that dynamics in that seat, it changes the whole ecosystem in the republican conference where maybe people are willing to be more bold, more daring, and embrace a lot of the process reforms that i wanted, like single-subject spending bills and downward pressure on overall federal spending seem that mike johnson disagrees with the candidates here. he seems to think that it's not the best thing to run against people who are already in the congress. you told my colleague manu raju at the end of the day, we're not judged by how many republicans we have in congress were judged on whether or not we save the country. i mean, don't you? need i grew already in congress in order to save the country if that's what you're majority is necessary, but not sufficient, right? because if what we have is a majority of people who by the dozens will vote with democrats for higher spending for these trillion dollars spending bills with disparate subjects conne

ou hereat and he's at about political report notes tony gonzalez posted for bipartisan gun safety legislation uvalde and the key here is that 50% threshold. so he won't move on to the general election tonight if he doesn't crack 50%. he is below that right now. he's about 46%. so that is when we will continue to keep an ion tonight for all of our results. -span.org and you can click on there on the top of the web page. check out the races you are most interested in. host: let's focus on the west coast tonight. one of those states is colorado. joining us there is a political reporter with the colorado sun. jesse paul, a lot of folks watching y tonight after the supreme court overturned the colorado supreme court. what do you make of the people in the republican primary turning out and how they voted after that decision? guest: colorado unaffiliated independent voters are able to cast ballots in primaries. overwhelmingly they decided -- in the republican primary is a stans nikki haley is hovering at 34%. donald trump is oushe should win some delegates out of colorado. trump is overwhelmingly th

and that was eventually in 1984, the relations were established under felipe gonzalez, the socialist leader, kind of like tony blair, i suppose you would say maybe. more left wing and uh and so there was a kind of increase in in their relationships, but then of course more recently we've seen the cooling of the relationships, now we have the uh israelies have withdrawn their ambassador from spain, they're still diplomatic relations, they haven't totally broken off diplomatin relations, but they're much cooler now and and you know as this progresses i imagine they will get even cooler, but perhaps we'll look forward to spain being the first country in europe to to totally break off diplomatic relations with israel. uh and not before time, no indeed, and and that would certainly be a an example to follow, i think, but tim, i mean, what's the broader political landscape landscape like in spain regarding support for for palestine, and and what actions if any have been taken by other spanish politicians and officials? well, we had um, quite a good test of that this week, because podemos, the party that iona belara
