House committees looking at the latest batch of documents found in his garage. Well find Griff Jenkins in eagle pass with the latest. Griff hey, neil, just as youre talking about the president s visit to mexico. Pan the camera, you can see migrants walking up recently crossed and ill simply ask. [speaking spanish] neil, they say theyre from colombia and you can see, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, it happens every day like clock work and President Biden going to el paso not able to see any migrants. Its unbelievable. I have brand new numbers, almost 50,000 migrant encounters across the entire Southwest Border since january 1st of which 73 were single adults. Those numbers just unbelievable. Now, we know now that new yorks mayor, eric adams, will make a trip now to el paso today. We dont have the details. We know hell make at least three stops according to his Press Release about that. And we hope to hear from him and it comes after mayor add adams asked for Emergency Aid from the New York Legislature because the situation with migrants in new york has reached a breaking point. Thats interesting because we went up yesterday to kenny county, which is inundated with smugglers and the migrants passing through there, about 50 miles north of where im standing and the County Attorney there, brent smith, says he is issuing a call for help to all texas counties. Take a listen. The Kinney County sheriff is putting out to Law Enforcement in the state or any other state to provide assistance, were in the front line in the crisis, for us to stop it here, theyre passing through us, going to other places. Griff and neil, the voice that is so often not heard in this crisis in Kinney County, we spoke to a rancher, pam shott. She had three migrants trying to break into her home even while she held an ar15 rifle telling them to leave. They would not. Fortunately, sheriffs deputies arrived and took them into custody and here is a little of what the rancher, palm shott pam shott, listen. We dont have the sound, but you can see from the ranch shot, very open, very susceptible. Shes about seven miles from the rio grande border and shes owned it for years and never had the amount of aggression ap fear and she cant get ranch hands to work there because theyre upset about that. All part of this story and yet, i can just leave you with one last thing, neil, thats this, when i talk to border officials all week long, whether it is ranchers like pam or the Kinney County attorney or the Border Patrol officials off camera here in eagle pass, its that they seem a bit disappointed they havent heard any take away. Any deliverables that have come from President Bidens visit with mexican president lopez obrador. They would hope theyd hear something that mexico might try and cut down on being a Transit Country where these migrants are coming through because the situation on this border is obviously not getting any better as indicated in those numbers we just gave you at the top of the report, neil. Neil amazing. Thank you for that, griff. Theyre not the only ones. So is my next guest from the texas mayor kind enough to join us. Mayor, you heard the trouble that continues, including migrants freely going to the border and trying to get through the border. The president last week didnt get a chance to see one, in frustration a week later, what was yielded in these talks with mexico. We understand some mexico commitments to help us out, but your thoughts . Well, first of all, you know, they spent a week before President Biden got to el paso making sure there were no migrants on the street. They cleaned up the People Living on the street. They cleaned up the holding shelters. They took him to a part of the border barry where you didnt see any migrants, and there were people who wanted to talk to him and he didnt talk to anybody. And we know what griff is talking about, we see this seven days a week. Its ridiculous. Neil when you hear plans of the president working with the mexican president , asylum cases, 30,000 a month, mexico would largely handle, not exclusively, but largely, thats the commitment, you dont buy it . I dont buy it at all. The Mexican Government has no intentions of helping the United States with this migration problem. We were supposed to do joint task force deals with the Mexican Police and mexican military along the texas border with the National Guard and the Texas Department of safety, and the cartel told the Mexican Government they didnt have permission to do it and they didnt participate. This is joke on the border, wonder if the administration didnt go to mexico to split up because we seem to be in Human Trafficking now. Neil you touched on it, who did clean up things in town when the president came . The migrants were there 48 hours earlier disappeared. He didnt meet one. In an area that has one of the most, you know, the busiest of Migrant Passages and passes, ways, not a one. Not a one. From whee talked to you had the Sheriffs Department and Border Patrol agents pulled off jobs to make sure they were gone and cleaned out, so when the media came with the president they wouldnt see this. And we heard Border Patrol. We took them from uvalde and they went there and this is what happens every time. Its a dog and pony show that they want to make like they have control of the border and they dont. We have bailouts and pursuits and i have a ranch in Kinney County, i know exactly what the people are talking about, its ridiculous. Mayor, thank you for that and expressing your feelings bluntly as you usually do. We appreciate that. In the meantime, blunt reaction from republicans on this appointment of a special counsel to look into President Bidens classified document issues. And its getting crowded. Lets just say its getting very crowded. Lucas tomlinson has more from the white house. The new republican chairman of the House OversightCommittee Says his new investigation into the biden family is justified after the discovery of these classified documents. We have to investigate the biden family for being a National Security risk. The biden center for diplomacy was funded almost exclusively from china. In addition, the investigation launched by chairman comers judiciary committee. House has launched a new probe following discovery of classified documents. Cbs reports today there are 20 in all, half marked top secret. Chairman jim jordan writing, quote, its unclear when et Justice Department first learned about the existence of these documents and whether it actively concealed this information from the public on the eve of the 2022 elections. The doj says it first learned about the classified markings on november 4th, a few days before the midterms and the announcement by President Bidens Attorney General appointing the special council to look into this is notable hes a former trump appointed Justice Department official and Merrick Garland ordered investigations four days before that Special Probe into Donald Trumps handling of classified material. Some wonder if the doj can conduct an unbiased investigation into the president. The Conflict Of Interest thats inherent in the special counsel situation is when the Justice Department has to investigate its own administration. It remains Justice Department policy that a sitting president cannot be charged with a crime, neil. Neil all right. Thank you for that, lucas, very much. Lucas tomlinson. Whatever your views on the special prosecutors, counsels, whatever you want to call them, the American People seemed to have tired of the legal battles back and forth, whether its over documents or maybe two older guys getting beset by documents and investigations and why dont you guys sit this one out, were looking for someone, or at least a possibility of getting someone younger for the highest office in the land. Susan crabtree of real clear politics. Temperament has built up, alternative to the established guys with both parties voters growing numbers seeking out someone else, what do you make of it . I think thats true. Last month there was a suffolk universityusa today poll showed more than twothirds of americans did not want joe biden to run for a second term and even more, a little bit more, 69 didnt want donald trump to run for a second term. So, here we are, and i just think that you im not sure its related to the classified documents, i think it was building way before that, but certainly this classified document reinforces stereotypes about the two the leaders of their party, if you consider donald trump still the leader of his party. You have sort of trump as a Whirling Dervish of chaos and he didnt address his documents properly and now you have the same thing going on with joe biden, but reinforces sort of this, you know, sort of hes messy, not in control of his own situation, maybe a little too old, doesnt know whats going on in his own garage. So, you know, i think that the American People are ready for new leaders, but the problem is, the bench is not very you dont have a good bench on either side. Neil and they are right now, their Perspective Party frontrunners, certainly joe biden is and looking pretty good after the midterms where they escaped this giant red wave, even President Trump, of course, said he looks very good the only announced president ial candidate and there might be more, many more, but he is still the one to beat. So there is something about that. Would it be difficult for others to emerge regardless of how americans are polling in each party, that they are seeking out alternative . Well, you know, you have obviously ron desantis had a wonderful reelection so hes sitting pretty there, but hes 44 years old so he has a choice to make and he hasnt come forward yet. Hes sort of keeping his powder dry and deciding and do i want to engage with donald trump and worry about the fallout from the base and donald trump has a very little base or do i want to wait it out and wait for my second term as governor of florida and hes immensely popular there. On the other side you have a situation thats difficult because you have Kamala Harris thats not very popular with the American People and Pete Buttigieg who is having his own problems. California Governor Newsom waiting in the wings, seems ready to fight and thats the only person that i see who is coming forward, but he has not declared either yet, in deference to his own party leader, joe biden. Neil all right, anything can happen, its early. How quickly the pendulum swings just in the last couple of weeks. Susan crabtree of real clear politics. In the meantime, a warning from the white house this past week that come next thursday we run out of money. Not literally, but were up against the wall.

All right, were told around next thursday sometime, i dont know if theres an exact hour in the day were up against the wall, our debt ceiling it would have been reached, 31. 4 trillion dollars, not penny more, until they agree to extend that debt limit to account for spending thats already, well, been spent and therein lie the rubs and republicans taking over the 118th Congress particularly in the house, they argue its not business as issue, not rub he stamp to increase this thing. Tying it to spending. And democrats say you better not tie it to spending or were not going to do that and the prospect and the fears of a Government Shutdown and what happens next. Congressman Chris Stewart joins us now, serves on the Appropriations Committee and will have a key role in this. Great to have you. Are we looking at a real battle here . Yeah, and we should, by the i, neil. How in the world could we ever agree to increase the Debt Ceiling Limit 31. 4 trillion when were spending about 12 trillion every two years now and about 1. 4 to 1. 5 trillion of that is deficit spending. How could we just say, thats okay. As republicans, as conservatives, as people who worry about debt and spending and the economic outlook, how could we say, yeah, go ahead increase this debt ceiling, its okay and were not going to ask for anything. Well, were not going to do that. Were going to ask for reforms. We should ask for reforms. Its one of the few tools that we have that can actually make a difference in how much we spend and what our deficits are. We saw that, you know, in 2014, 15, 16. Sequester was painful, but it made a difference and weve got to find some tool to do the same thing again. Neil you and your colleagues embrace, not that you want to, but using as part of the arrows in the proverbial quiver a Government Shutdown and the white house made it clear, that it will not negotiate over the debt ceiling and therein lies the rub and possibly the shutdown. Yeah, thats true. Im not a fan of Government Shutdowns and weve tried using that tool in the past and it hasnt worked very effectively, but i dont think its an either or, were going to increase the Debt Ceiling Limit or shut down the government. Neil youve got a plan, apparently, congressman for breaching the debt limit, an emergency plan. Could you spell out what that is . Well, i think theres a couple of things we could do. Number one, as weve done in the past, you could have a Debt Ceiling Limit that had language that i think some of our democratic colleagues would support. I mean, some of them are worried about this as well. And now, they werent worried about it as much in the past, but many of them are beginning to realize that, you know, trillion dollar deficits every year, multitrillion dollar deficits are unsustainable and i think the key to this, in this interim time until we actually get to that point is try to work behind the scenes, not in public, but behind the scenes with some individuals who actually agree with us. Neil in other words, to keep spending going for Social Security recipients, medicare recipients, our soldiers, i guess, bondholders would be protected. Am i right about the things you would tri to address, Emergency Measures to take if it came to that . Absolutely. And again, thats one. Tools weve had and its one of the tools weve used in the past. For example, in the middle of a Government Shutdown republicans passed legislation and we said you have to fund the government, you have to pay our soldiers, you have to extend Social Security checks, you have to do the essential functions of government a
