we've been begin with this fox news alert. we are tracking three breaking news stories tonight. it's official. a formal impeachment inquiry into president biden has been approved by the u.s. house of representatives. we are now one step closer to accountability. pretty soon biden and could be the fourth president in american history impeached by the house. meanwhile good news for donald trump. this afternoon a federal judge paused the doj policy witchhunt against trump pending a decision on the president's immunity claims. democrats hope for a trial. the day before super tuesday. that hope is in real jeopardy. we have a full report tonight straight ahead. first, a sob story on capitol hill today. hunter biden wants you to know that he is a poor, helpless victim of what is a new, vast, right-wing conspiracy and neither he nor his father should ever be held accountable pretty much for anything. today hunter was legally required to attend what is a closed-door deposition inside the capitol complex as part of the ongoing corruption investigation against his father. instead, hunter stood outside, kind of cowardly, refusing to go in, defying a house subpoena and delivering one of the most pathetic unhinged rants of all time. this is worthy of your time. take a look. for six years maga republicans including members of the house committees who are in a closed-door session right now, have impugned my character, invaded my privacy, attacked my wife, my children, my family and my friends. for six years, i have been the target of the unrelenting trump attack machine shouting, where's hunter? james comer, jim jordan, jason smith and their colleagues have distorted the facts. there is no fairness or decency and what these republicans are doing. they have lied, over and over, about every aspect of my personal and professional life. >> let us be very clear tonight. hunter is no martyr. he is facing felony charges over a major multimillion dollar tax evasion scheme. he is facing more felony charges for gun crimes. he abandoned his own infant child until an arkansas court forced hunter to take a paternity test. according to the doj, he spent millions of dollars on drugs and prostitutes and close and sports cars instead of paying his taxes or supporting his family. so let's be clear. the way hunter made millions of dollars is highly unusual to say the least. i'm sure a lot of you out there would love to make millions and millions of dollars in some field of endeavor in which you have no experience at all. based on testimony about, quote, "the biden brands, it appearss that hunter was selling access and influence to his father, then vice president joe biden. this is a very key component of the gop's impeachment probe. by the way, a deposition that is a standard legal tool used during these investigations. as a matter of fact donald trump jr. complied with five congressional subpoenas during the democrats various witchhunts. now trump's adult children, son-in-law, faced hours upon hours of closed-door sessions with members of congress. they showed up. meanwhile two former senior trump staffers, steve bannon, peter navarro, both defied congressional subpoenas. they were quickly prosecuted by the doj. command and was sentenced to four months in prison. navarro has yet to be sentenced. he could face up to two years behind bars. now will merrick garland, joe biden's attorney general, prosecute hunter biden or will be see yet another blatant example of america's corrupt two-tiered system of justice? remember in 2021 president biden demanded criminal prosecutions for those that defy congressional subpoenas. he actually said it. let's listen in. >> what is your message to people who defied congressional subpoenas on the january 6 committee? >> i hope that this committee goes after them and hold them accountable. >> should they be prosecuted? >> yes. >> he does think they should be prosecuted. those joe biden stand standby those remarks? those those remarks apply to his son or has something change? if hunter and joe had done nothing wrong why didn't hunter show up and clear the air earlier today? chairman comer already granted hunter's request for a public hearing after the closed-door deposition. as is standard operating procedure. again, don jr. was subpoenaed five separate times. he always complied. hunter biden is somehow above the law? that's just the latest chapter of the biden family's unusual behavior. in fact we now have a new wrinkle in what we are calling the evolution of a live. the lie that started with, i never once talked to my son, my brother or anybody for that matter about their foreign business deals. then it changed. then it changed again. and it changed again. and then it changed again today. take a look. >> mr. vice president, how may times have you spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings? >> i have never spoken to my son about overseas business dealings. >> i am curious if you stand behind the comment that he's never been involved and never even spoken to his son about it? >> i have been asked this question a million times. the answer will not change. the answer remains the same spec the president was never in business with his son. >> hunter may have put his father on the phone with any number of different people and they never wants spoke about any business dealings. it was all casual conversation, niceties, the weather. >> why have you interacted with so many of your son's foreign business associates? >> i will not comment. i did not. that's a bunch of lies. >> you didn't interact with them? >> i did not. they are lies. >> my father was not financially involved in my business. not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of burisma, not in my partnership with the chinese private businessmen, not in my investments at home nor are broad and certainly not as an artist. >> the question is, what qualified hunter to make all these millions of dollars and nine other biden family members all these millions of dollars and they had no experience? we have no idea whatsoever whether any services were ever rendered. unless the one term we went from joe biden saying he never once talked business with hunter, his brother or anybody for that matter to a different story denying that joe biden was ever in business with hunter, which evolved into claims that joe biden met with hunter's partners and talk to them on the phone. but they talked about niceties. they talked about the weather, but they never discussed business. and now hunter is saying that his father was not, quote, "financially involved. that's a whole different argument. in other words, hunter is leaving open the possibility that his father, then vice president, participated in the family business or syndicate if you prefer. but never got a direct payment. instead according to reported texts and e-mails hunter complained bitterly that the big guy had been using his wells fargo account to pay pop's bills for 11 years. hunter also implicated his father complaining that he was forced to give up half of his income to pops, meaning joe. at the same time joe biden was frequently interacting with his son's business partners through pseudonyms and e-mails. this is an undisputed fact. we have pictures, dinners at café milano. with oligarchs like the former first lady of moscow, one of the foreign business partners of hunter biden. we have golf outings, eyewitness accounts. we have hunter's business partner devon archer testifying that he witnessed joe biden participate in phone calls with hunter's foreign business associates at least 20 times. that would include one critical call with executives at burisma holdings, the ukrainian gas and oil giant. remember, hunter was getting paid millions of dollars to merely sit on a board of that corrupt ukrainian oil and gas giant despite no experience at all based on his own words in an interview on gma . no experience at all and you can make millions of dollars. this is a great country. then we have a timeline on this. on december 4th, 2015 during a meeting in dubai, hunter and his bosses at burisma were in dubai. they demanded that hunter called d.c. to address, quote, "pressure that the company was facing. this according to testimony from devon archer. , quote, "they requested hunter help them with some of that pressure. government pressure from the ukrainian government investigation. five days later while traveling to ukraine to deliver on the new obama administration policy from october 2015. in other words, delivered the billion dollars in lone guarantees. then vice president joe biden leverage that billion dollars, your tax dollars, to force ukraine's top prosecutor out of office. and gave them six hours to do it. and they fired the guy. the very same prosecutor investigating burisma and hunter biden for corruption. that move but melisma martine. hunter, guess what? as a result of that action taken by his vice president father, he continued to get paid. he continued to get rich. again, with no experience. in america you are innocent until proven guilty. but anyone who tells you there is no evidence of wrongdoing, no need for an investigation, is an abject liar. here with mo is james comer with us. the house ways and means committee chairman jason smith and house judiciary committee chairman jim jordan. congressman comer, i start with you tonight. your reaction to today's events earlier today with jim jordanout that hunter has defied a lawful subpoena and you will now initiate contempt of congress proceedings and that hunter will not be pvided special treatment because his last name is biden. >> i've never seen such a display of arrogance and entitlement as i saw today when you had over a dozen members of congress in a committee room waiting for hunter biden to appear because he was lawfully subpoenaed. while we were there with staff who had spent countless hours preparing questions, substantive questions. at the same time hunter biden goes out and has a press conference and plays the victim card. he defies a congressional subpoena, says he wants to tell his story and gets in a car and drives off. i think the american people saw that was a publicity stunt that went bust. we have had a credible investigation that the american people expect. they want to know what the bidens did to receive tens of millions of dollars from enemies around the world world. we will continue to pursue the truth and we are doing it lawfully and by the constitution. today, hunter biden got into more trouble if that is even possible by defying our lawful subpoena. >> let's get your take, jim jordan. you along with congressman comer put out the statement about hunter failing to appear for the deposition and are now initiating contempt of congress proceedings. tell us what is going to happen next? >> we will do a report and market up, pass it through the committee and it will go to the full house. the big takeaways today were number one, every single republican voted to move forward with the impeachment inquiry and continue our oversht responsibility. every single one. we can't get all republicans, but a majority of the house is on record in support of the investigation that we have been doing. second is what you said in the opening line. joe biden went from no involvement to he participated in dinners and meetings and phone calls, but they were just talking about the weather. today, hunter biden said my father had no financial involvement. that qualifier is huge. no financial involvement in the business. what a change. we would love to have hunter biden under oath the way these investigations are supposed to work. the first question is who is the big guy? who is the big guy, mr. biden? the confidential source that it's joe biden. your partner said it is joe biden who is the big guy. what was on the call you made from dubai at the request of burisma to get help from d.c. when you called your father? what did you ask him to do? we know what he went and did. those are two important questions that i think the american people deserve to know about and the facts about. that's what we would ask him if we had the chance. i hope we get the chance. >> jason smith, let's talk about what you learned in the ways and means committee as it relates to pseudonym e-mails that joe biden used. i don't think he was supposed to do that as part of the records act. but he did communicate quite often with eric sherwin who is the individual at rosemont senate that was in charge of the finances. he is the person that hunter himself would always ask, what account should we use to pay dad's home repair bill in this case or that case? is that the guy? >> that's exactly right. he's known as being the architect of those 20 plus shell companies that hunter biden and the bidens used to filter through millions of dollars. what the irs whistleblowers provided to our committee last ek, sean, is it stood in agreement with what they already provided of more than 1000 pages. what those irs whistleblowers said in regards to the prosecution that hunter biden should face in the tax crimes of 2016 to 2019. what happened in california confirmed everything. what the irs whistleblowers alleged. one thing that we should be looking at, sean, is that the irs whistleblowers also stated how many leads led to president joe biden, but they were stopped by the justice department. that's what we need to be looking into. >> congressman comer, what do we know? how much money can you confirm that the biden family took in from china, romania, russia, ukraine, kazakhstan and other countries? how much money are we talking about? and you confirm that the 1023 form that we had talked so often about that accused joe biden of taking official action as vice president in exchange for a family benefit. that would be hunter's benefit. was that the burisma case? >> yeah, i can say this. we found over $24 million that flowed into those shell companies that jason smith was referencing earlier. we have no idea what the bidens did to receive the money. we know the shell companies serve no purpose. we have seen bank e-mails and suspicious activity reports from banks that said they were investment companies with no investments. companies with no known purposes. we know that the 1023 form allege that they took a bribe. this was in conjunction with the burisma. one thing that triggered the discovery of the 1023 form, sean, was the fact that the whistleblowers that turned over the 1023 form to chuck grassley, they knew about this 1023 form. because the narrative had been the burisma thing was rudy giuliani and it was fake news and russian disinformation. they never paid attention to it. when the house oversight committee started unveiling evidence where the bidens were receiving suspicious funds that were being laundered through these various bank accounts and shell companies, those whistleblowers said that's exactly what it said in the 1023 form about ukraine. that's why they came forward. they came forward because of our evidence. >> you can confirm that you have discovered over 20 shell companies, but you see no real business activity except the movement of money from one account to another? you confirm that, sir? >> yes. that's why we wanted hunter biden to have the opportunity to explain. if we are misunderstanding he can tell us exactly what the different companies did. >> you can confirm that 10 biden family members were paid including grandchildren and you can find no evidence of any services rendered at all? is that true, sir? >> that is true. >> let me ask you, jim jordan. we know joe biden has said they never got any money from china. in the gma interview hunter said pretty much the same thing. when we talk about the whatsapp message call and he says i am sitting here with my father. we don't know why he didn't fulfill your commitment between everybody that he knows and my ability to hold a grudge, you will regret not fulfilling that commitment. my father and i are sitting here waiting for you to call. is it true, jim jordan, that in fact $5 million was sent to one of those companies, if you will, within a number of days thereafter? was that another example of more money coming from an oil conglomerate, this one in china? >> the energy company in china sends $5 million after that phone call. if i remember the whatsapp message it was between me and the guy sitting beside me. who was the guy sitting beside you? who are you referring to? it seems obvious but we would ask that question. we know what the business was. it was access to the brand. devon archer told us in july the brand is joe biden. it was access to joe biden because he has influence. everyone with common sense and see what was going on here. the dinners and the phone calls and the meetings with hunter biden's business partners and more importantly the people he is doing business with like all lena, the wealthiest woman and all of russia. anyone can see what is going on here. that's why we had every single republican vote today to move further and farther with our investigation to get these people in a timely message and fashion. >> yes or no, exit question for all of you? congressman smith, i will start with you. is this now an investigation about joe biden being involved in what would be a bribery scandal, a money laundering scandal and an influence peddling scandal? >> this is always been an investigation in regards to joe biden. the irs whistleblowers when they came forward highlighted it. >> is it about those three issues? bribery, influence peddling and money laundering? >> it could be a multitude of numerous items. we are continuing to follow the facts. >> james comer, is that with this is about, those three issues? >> yes, sir. >> jim jordan? >> it's the standard in the constitution. typically with impeachment, articles of impeachment it's been bribery, abuse of power, obstruction of justice. those are the things we are looking at. we want to get the facts and we will make a determination. >> this will get interesting in the days, weeks and months ahead. thank you all for being on. when we come back as biden about to cave on republicans border demands? we will check in with west virginia senator joe manchin. we will talk to him about the no labels party. could it be a factor and 2024? straight ahead. but with my moderate-to-severe eczema, it hasn't been easy. now, i'm staying ahead of it. dupixent helps heal your skin from within. so, you can clearer skin and noticeably less itch serious allergic reactions can occur, that can be severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems, such as eye pain or vision changes, including blurred vision, joint aches and pains, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines without talking to your doctor. ask your doctor about dupixent joe biden is desperate to send more of your money to ukraine. we sent nearly $80 billion. he is apparently willing to trade republicans almost anything for it including even trump era immigration policies. biden has now reportedly considered bringing back title 42 or a program like that that would allow border patrol to expel illegals on the spot naturally democrats are not happy calling the idea of a nonstarter, shameful, cruel and irresponsible. here with reaction is the democratic senator from west virginia, joe manchin. senator, we've had over 8 million illegal immigrants come in this country under joe biden. hundreds from iran, hundreds from syria, thousands from egypt, thousands from afghanistan. 12,000 from russia and over 20,000 from china. i am 100% certain that we probably have, because the borders have been wide open, terror cells now in this country. do you agree with me? >> i am as concerned as scared as you are, sean. we have been saying this all along. our borders are a mess. to say that it's not and for any democrat or anybody to say that it is not in jeopardy right now, we have to close our borders down. we've got to control the borders. we have to change basically the asylum definition of what it takes to get into our country. we want to make sure people can still, that are in desperate need the legal way, but not the way they are coming illegally now. that has to stop. i believe that you will see changes being made very quickly. i think it's more than appropriate to do it. >> let me ask you. you are taking a two month tour beginning in january to test the appetite for national movement. there has been a lot of talk about the no labels party and whether or not they would consider running as a third party in the presidential election. is this two month tour part of a tour for you yourself? are you considering or would you consider running on a no labels party for president in 2024? >> sean, let me say i will never be a spoiler trying to fill the race one way or another if it's too an advantage or disadvantage. if i get into a race i get into it to win. people feel homeless right now. they've been pushed to the extremes. both parties have gone to the extremes. the democratic and republican parties are being controlled and driven by the extreme right and extreme left. that's not who we are as a country. it's not how we became a country. it's not how we remain a superpower with the rest of the world following us. i will go out and talk to people to find out what they believe needs to be done. they will make the decision. not me or anybody else. i want them to know there is enough of us in the middle that want to take back our country, our values, who we are, how we became the country we are and how we can leave a country we are proud of to our children and grandchildren. right now we are not on that trajectory. we have to change. >> how do you reconcile people that want to enforce immigration laws versus those who want open borders? how do you reconcile those who want energy dominance and independence versus those that want an immediate changeover to alternative energy or green energy? i don't think the technology exists. how do you reconcile those that want to dismantle the police, reimagine the police versus those that want law and order and safety and security? i don't see middle ground on those issues, senator. >> the democrats have been pulled so far to the left. i think joe biden has been pulled to the left. i know joe biden and he has never governed that way. he was a senator for 37 years. i hope he comes back to the middle. the bottom line is everything you have just said is what most americans want. we are not going to be extremes to the left. we will have energy security. we are producing more energy today than ever before in the history of our country. and a presidents prior to this we are an administration that produces more. we had to force them to do it. i work with my republican colleagues trying to get energy security, making sure we have the energy we have today to take care of ourselves to be secured. basically helping are allies and investing in technology for energy of the future. we can walk and chew gone. we are the united states of america. we have more investments coming to the country than ever before. you never hear the president speaking about spending $230 billion to pay down debt. you never heard that. basically it's energy security. it's not an environmental bill. it's been great for the environment if we can basically mature these technologies. we are producing more gas, more oil. 4.6 billion euros of oil this year. 37 trillion feet of gas. >> we are still importing. >> we have to blend because of the type of the systems we have. >> let me ask you this. you have to go on this two month tour. there has been a lot of talk about the no labels party. i will ask you again gently. i am not pushing you hard. i just want to know if you've got enough feedback that you felt there was an appetite for a third party, would you consider a run if you thought it was not a spoiler run to use your words? >> absolutely. if you are in a position to help your country and you don't come forward and you think we are on a wrong trajectory, shame on you. i would do whatever i can to help my country. right now i think unless we are able to bring extremes back to the middle and if the extremes don't come to the middle, make sure the middle is able to dominate. that's where i am looking at. no labels has always been a group that has look for a balanced venue that we could bring democrats and republicans that felt homeless. i've been there since 2010. i understand where they are coming from. >> i've been to west virginia and know the people of west virginia. they are pretty conservative. >> they like you, sean. they like you, but he. >> i appreciate it. thanks for being with us. when we come back a big win for donald trump in the washington swamp and a big problem for joe biden on capitol hill. mark levine is up next. governor ron desantis straight governor ron desantis straight ahead,t sotyktu is the first-of-its-kind, once-daily pill for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis for the chance at clear or almost clear skin. it's like the feeling of finding your back... is back. or finding psoriasis can't deny the splendor of these thighs. once-daily sotyktu is proven to get more people clearer skin than the leading pill. don't take if you're allergic to sotyktu; serious reactions can occur. sotyktu can lower your ability to fight infections including tb. serious infections, cancers including lymphoma, muscle problems, and changes in certain labs have occurred. tell your doctor if you have an infection, liver or kidney problems, high triglycerides, or had a vaccine or plan to. sotyktu is a tyk2 inhibitor. tyk2 is part of the jak family. it's not known if sotyktu has the same risks as jak inhibitors. find what plaque psoriasis has been hiding. ask your dermatologist about sotyktu for clearer skin. so clearly you. sotyktu. i'll be home for christmas. you can count on me. please have snow and mistletoe. and presents under the tree. right now, all over the country, kids at shriners hospitals for children® are able to go home and be with their families for the holidays. and it's only possible because of the monthly support of people just like you. thanks to a generous donor. every dollar you give can help twice as many kids like me and have double the impact. with your gift of just $19 a month, only $0.63 a day, we'll send you this adorable love to the rescue® blanket as a thank you. and a reminder of the care you'll be providing so kids can be with their families. thanks to a generous donor, your gift will go twicas far and help more kids like me. your call is the best gift of all. thank you for giving! please call the number on your screen or go online right now with your monthly gift. and when you do, your gift will have two times the impact. ♪ upbeat music ♪ ♪ upbeat music ♪ ♪ upbeat music ♪ ♪ upbeat music ♪ ♪ upbeat music ♪ ♪ upbeat music ♪ today, a major legal victory for former president donald trump. they agreed to pause the proceedings in his january 6th case. that's the d.c. case until the courts render a decision on trump's claimed that he is immune from prosecution because he was president at the time. joining us now the host of life, liberty and living. mark levine. a great one legally. let's analyze. >> first, sean, the no labels party, do they understand the no labels party is a label? secondly, he will take a two month tour of the country? he's been a governor and senator and will take a tour? we used to call that a junket. and then he wants the people to rally to the no labels party? can't we all get along? that will fail. let me go on. first, i want to talk about impeachment here. and they want to say to the three guess you had, the three great chairman. i think you really need to focus in. i have no opposition to focusing on the financial fraud and the selling of public offers by the biden family. it gets very complicated. that should be article three of the eventual list of impeachable offenses. i think this president is impeachable. why? because of article one. let me explain. article two, section three of the united states constitution compels a president that he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed. laws be faithfully executed. the president of the united states has his own oath. it's not until after he takes the oath and puts his hand on the bible and right hand in the air and takes that oath that he can become president of the united states during his inauguration. i will faithfully execute the office of the president of the united states to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the united states. the constitution says you may not like certain laws, joe biden, but you will enforce them. otherwise you're destroying separation of powers and the power of the legislature. you can't blow off the legislature with executive orders or directives or something of that sort. why is that important? because that's exactly what he has done. we don't need hearings. we don't need depositions. we don't need testimony. we don't need text messages. we don't need anything. joe biden has violated every single federal immigration law that is on the books. he is doing it every day. he is doing it intentionally. the border is wide open. the american people are less safe. terrorist are trying to get in. criminals are getting in. toxic drugs are getting in. people are dying, being and sold into sex slavery. why is all that important? it's important because it's an impeachable offense. i just read you the two sections of the constitution where he is required to uphold the law. he is defying and undermining the law. let's look at impeachment. the framers of the constitution. impeachment. what did they look at? they looked at 17th and 18th century british common law. and you look at the impeachment clause. what is a high crime? high crime means a president goes out and kills a whole bunch of people? no. what does it mean? high in the legal common vocabulary of the 17th and 18th centuries of high crimes. this is what the framers looked at. it's the activity by are against those have special duties acquired by taking an oath of office that is not shared with ordinary persons. he has committed a high crime, multiple high crimes, by refusing to enforce our immigration laws. is that easier to understand? is it more important to the average american? can the average american get behind an impeachment that makes it clear on article one that this man has violated at least two clauses of the constitution? he will not uphold the law. he will not secure the border. that's a high crime. that's an impeachable offense. you see how simple that is? we don't need subpoenas. we don't need depositions. all we need is the video from the tv cameras. the second article should be the student loans issue. separation of powers. the president doesn't have the power to seize the power of the purse from the house of representatives. that's another separation of powers issue. the supreme court told him, joe, you don't have the power to do that with student loans. joe says he tries to find a way around it and he has spent half a trillion dollars in funds by not enforcing student loan payments. in violation of the federal constitution, separation of powers, the power of the person violating an order of the supreme court. how simple is that? how many hearings do we need on that? you can have your article three and the article three of the other chairman. this money went here and ernie did this and frank did that. i'm not against it. a crime is a crime. mr. and misses america cannot follow all this. mr. and misses america can follow my article one. they can follow article to. they can see how it directly affects them. that doesn't give a pass to what should be article three. this resolution that they pass were an inquiry allows for them to take all these things on. as a special pleader for the constitution, to make this simple and get the people around you, will the republicans in congress pleas at least rethink the order of these things? number two, there is a motion in front of the supreme court. there is nothing special about this guy. he's a disaster and a hack. jack smith is trying to force the judiciary to follow his lead and have a quick trial in front of a democratic jury with a democrat judge with four phony charges. the 1871 clan law. two are the enron obstruction law which are being challenged separately. there it is a federal contractor law. is trying to bootstrap insurrection and seditious conspiracy into these four ridiculous charges and he tells the judge, i'm going to argue that donald trump violence occurred that he led. he is not charged with any of that. what the prosecutor is doing is outrageous. more importantly, the trump lawyers have smartly said, wait a minute. you can't charge an ex-president with acts he took whether you like him or not as president. why? because he has immunity. it doesn't follow him. he is not a king. that has nothing to do with it. if the court takes this up and rules for the prosecution, that means that lawyers can sue joe biden after he leaves the presidency and indict him. any ex-president the same thing. it would be a disaster. the court should let it follow the process and then they should kill what jack smith is trying to do. i am done. i hear the music. i'm going on a two month tour to find out what the people want and my no labels party. >> why did the court take it? that's the question. it should have gone to the lower courts. >> it shouldn't have. i am worried about it. >> i am too. mark levine, thank you. when we come back support for the biden and impeachment inquiry is growing. we will explain and get evan a ron desantis and his take on that. much more, straight ahead. we needed to act quickly. because we had christian healthcare ministries. i went directly to the specialist i wanted. they took care of all our medical bills. over $60,000. joining christian healthcare ministries is one of the best decisions we've ever made. we're the suarez family, and this is our chm story. choose your doctor without network restrictions, all at an affordable price. enroll anytime at chministries. dot org / enroll. again earlier tonight the house voted to formally authorize the joe biden impeachment inquiry. today the vote came. a knueppel show the increase in support for the gop's latest move. horta governor, 2024 republican presidential candidate, ron desantis. good to have you back. i am getting reaction between the debate between you and governor gavin newsom. when you look at the legal troubles and cognitive issues of joe biden. have been said he would choose joe biden at 100 over and any republican. okay. what do you see happening? do you think he survives this? >> well, sean, i don't think we have spoken since that debate the reaction that i've gotten has been incredible in terms of obviously being able to show that freedom works and the california model is a failure. what that means for the country. people appreciated the way you set it up. they said it was the most subsidence of eight that they have seen in this entire election cycle. kudos to you for doing that. he had challenged me and you asked me to do it. i'm glad we were able to get that done. you want to do other debates? nikki haley and me, i am in. donald trump and me? i am in. say the word. have shown you can do it in a way that really helps the voters. i am game. just let me know. >> okay. to have anymore on your list? maybe joe manchin. he is going on tour. >> i don't think he is going anywhere. on the biden thing. , this is part of the reason why i thought it was important we do this new some debate. obviously there is a lot of democrats that want to remove him. they understand the liabilities. they understand his bad policies. i think he is not willing to step down at this point. but who knows what's going to happen? i think this inquiry is justified. it should have been done long ago. he's got so many issues that are clouding his presidency. he clearly would not be a great candidate for the democrats. republicans need to be ready for whoever they pull out of the hat. newsom has been waiting in the wings. quite frankly after that debate, i am not sure that's the candidate they would want. he embraced biden and said biden did an a+ job as president. are you kidding me? he is also saddled with all of his baggage in california. you have homelessness through the roof. crime is pushing people out of communities. even all the on the street in san francisco. i don't think they want to litigate on two fronts that defend biden's failed policies and defend the failed california policies. i do think we have to be ready that it could be someone else. >> governor, i don't think in all the years i've been doing this on radio and tv i have been as concerned as i am right now about the state of our economy and the state of the world. i think we are living in inconsequential times. this election is going to mean everything. i think one of the issues, if we don't write the ship, i don't even want to think about what the consequences would be. i'm sure that's what you think about as well? >> think about it. we have a government that is actively working against hard-working americans. they are working hard. they can't get ahead because of inflation, interest rates, bidenomics, bureaucracy. we have an open border were 8 million people have come since biden has been president from all over the world including the middle east. we know they are potential terrorist coming in. that has made the american people less safe and less secure. we have fentanyl pouring into our communities. we have cities that are collapsing. san francisco, los angeles and also philly, chicago and all these places were obviously cities have had issues, but they are becoming unlivable. to have all these issues that are compounding. then of course you have china on the march. you have war in israel versus hamas. biden is trying to kneecap our great ally israel. it's really a perfect storm. i don't think i've seen anything like this in my lifetime. i think you probably have to go back t to the late 1970s under jimmy carter went our nation was really suffering under the accumulation of a lot of problems. a lot of people thought america's best days were behind them then. ronald reagan thought differently. i think we can reverse the decline. but 2024 is make or break. >> that's why i thought the red state blue state debate was important. i will be honest. i'm getting out of new york. i am out of here. florida is right there. >> let me know. i have some connections at the dmv in florida. i have connections at the dmv and i will get your drivers license. let me know. >> i don't have to wait online for 50 hours like new york. i appreciate it. governor, great to see you. that was a good debate. i will put out your challenge, i promise. when we come back, senator lindsey graham with a message for every american that you need to here. straight ahead th. ...thanks to dupixent. dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems. it's an add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. and can help improve lung function for better breathing in as little as two weeks. dupixent helps prevent asthma attacks... and can even reduce or eliminate oral steroids. imagine that. dupixent can cause allergic reactions that can be severe. get help right away if you have rash, chest pain, worsening shortness of breath, tingling or numbness in your limbs. tell your doctor about new or worsening joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines, including steroids, without talking to your doctor. who knows what you can do when you du more with less asthma. ask your doctor about dupixent. the most prescribed biologic for asthma. - when did doing business become more about culture wars and less about well, business?

>> exceedingly high. but it's not about what you think or i think. we've been saying this for a year, i've been on your show at least a year talking about it. the fbi and department of homeland security issued a warning for the holiday season. be careful. a perfect storm is brewing. the withdraw from afghanistan set in motion the rise of terrorism. the attack on israeli on october the 7th by hamas has created a new threat to us. all the jihadist groups want to hit america. >> adam: director wray was three years late. we've been watching this influx for three years. why didn't he open his mouth before this? >> there's a broken border with you there's a rise on terrorism. the attack on israel october 7th, we've come to israel's aid and director wray and others told us the chatter is really hot right now. ethiopian hit us and punish us for helping israel. a combination from the rise of october 7th terror attack and the open border are a lethal combination for our country. biden has to fix the border because we're making him he's the commander in chief. and here's what i believe without republicans putting pressure he wouldn't do a damn thing to repair a broken border given the threat level that's just insane and irresponsible. >> adam: when is it going to happen senator? we don't have much time. >> i don't know my friend but we're not going to allow any money to go to foreign country until we first address border security. but here's the truth. if you want a secure border, you better vote for donald trump. biden will do the least amount possible and we're going to have to push him at every turn to get change. real change comes in 24 when we elect a new president. >> adam: we better get that border secure. >> amen. >> adam: i'll tell you one day if we're attacked by these illegal immigrants he's let in he will have blood on his hands. you agree with that? >> sean i've never been more worried for a terrorist attack. how easy would it be for terrorists to get in the middle of this crowd. ten thousand yesterday, the last six days we averaged ten thousand a day and 1.7 million got-aways. if you're trying to avoid detection, you're probably up to no good. >> sean: lindsey graham thank you. that's all the time we have. please set your dvr, never miss an episode, in the meantime let not your heart be troubled, why, greg gutfeld is standing by to put a smile on your face. thank you for being with us and making this show possible. have a great night. ♪
