of tonight's angle. no other way to say it, it was a clown show on capitol hill today. the same people who have been wrong about pretty much every major foreign policy issue for the past 25 years are back at this again. today blinken and austin testified before congress, asking for another $106 billion for multiple urgent priorities. ukraine, israel, something in the far east. and humanitarian aid to gaza. they call it an emergency supplemental. but the real emergency is in biden's re-election campaign, which is taking on more water than biden is taking naps. >> stop reporting the genocide as [inaudible] the people of gaza. >> shame on you all. the world is. >> cease-fire now. cease-fire now. [screaming] cease-fire now. >> now, this by the way went on and on and on. so much for that unbreakable biden coalition. now, this is where most normal people though are asking how it makes any sense for the u.s. to go further into debt to pay for these emergencies when we already have $33 trillion, that we're going to have to pay off. and last fiscal year a staggering $1.7 trillion budget deficit. this is their answer. this supplemental doesn't just help below the today's urgent challenges, it also invests in our defense industrial base. when we send our friends munitions from our stockpiles, the money to replenish our supplies strengthens our military readiness and we invest in american industry and american workers. >> laura: okay, okay. this is mind-blowing. deplete our own stockpiles by sending weapons to sadly a losing cause in ukraine and then spend more money to replenish the stockpiles which will help the defense contractors. they really do think you are stupid. the things are going the way they are going now in ukraine, we should just have the pentagon send weapons directly to russia because they are going to end up taking them eventually anyway just like they did, of course, the taliban in afghanistan. now, the fact is each the staunchest war hawks can no longer make a persuasive case for ukraine. this is the main reason by the way why they want to combine the $61.4 billion request for ukraine with the funding request for w legitimate reasons like israel and elsewhere. >> why is it so important that we provide supplemental funding for ukraine, the indo-pacific and humanitarian assistance in addition to military aid to israel? >> defense industrial base operates in a complex way. it's an interdependent unit. making these investments together allows us to do what is needed to strengthen the defense industrial base and to see the benefits and efficiencies that come from making these investments together. >> laura: it's words signifying nothing. it's more efficient, he says, to get all this money at one time. i bet it is. the truth is, they don't want senators like joe manchin or jon tester who are facing really tough re-election bids to be forced to vote on a ukraine stand alone. if the biden team was serious about our defense industrial base by the way, they wouldn't be sucking up to china whose entire goal is to undermine our industrial base. oh, and don't forget, president xi is on putin's side in ukraine. the pair was together enjoying a romantic evening. each other's company in beijing just a few weeks ago. the fact is the pentagon wants a u.s. credit card with no limits and no accountability. >> the department of defense is the only federal agency that has never, in the history of ever, been audited. but your inspector general insisted that he be in charge. do you not see the irony there with respect to ukraine? >> senator, i'm confident that our inspector general will do a great job in -- in making sure that we -- that we remain on track with our responsibilities in ukraine. >> laura: of course, no one believes that i don't think even austin believes that. a blockbuster piece i mentioned briefly last night in time laid bear the corruption in ukraine and the lack of accountability for the billions mostly from america that has poured into ukraine. a top presidential adviser to zelenskyy telling a reporter named simon shuster that people are stealing like there's no tomorrow. zelenskyy fired most of his cabinet, including his defense minister earlier this year, you may remember. but, he was never forthcoming, walls he, about the reason for that shakeup. more from the "time" article. the president was warned in february that corruption had grown rife inside the defense ministry but he dithered for more than six months giving his allies multiple chances to deal with the problems quietly or explain them away. that zelenskyy is a crafty one. no wonder the administration wants no real tracking of the $100 billion we have already sent. corruption in ukraine is rampant. and that's terrible for biden, who knows a thing or two about corruption. as is the new revelations that ukraine has a full blown recruitment crisis on its hands. here's more from the "time" investigation. in some branches of the ukraine military, the shortage of personnel has become even more dire than the deficit in arms and ammunition. one of zelenskyy's close aides tells me even if the u.s. and its allies come through with all the weapons they have pledged, we don't have the men to use them. okay. which begs the question why is biden doubling down there? to rebuild and reimagine ukraine's infrastructure. that's why. >> this funding will not only rebuild ukraine's economy and the damage wrought by russia but also help to reimagine it. investing in new industries, infrastr infrastructure, and supply chains connected to europe and to the world. secure and resilient clean energy. anticorruption bodies, civil society. >> laura: is this a green new zelenskyy deal? all of this the democracy building it all sounds familiar. the same types of arguments that were made for iraq and afghanistan. got to stop the taliban or girls aren't going to be able to attend school. how did that all work out? democracy building in iraq? the truth is they have no defined strategy to save ukraine or defeat russia. the summer offensive was supposed to be the answer but it didn't work. and there's no plan b. they also don't want joe biden to face the humiliating defeat on the global stage when he is up for re-election. this massive sum of money that they want now for ukraine tied to legitimate aid for israel is a cynical and wildly irresponsible political ploy. delaying defeat in ukraine to secure biden's victory in 2024. and that's the angle. joining me now is senator tommy tuberville, a member of the senate armed services committee. senator, i know you saw this on capitol hill. they really do, i think, think we are that stupid tying aid to israel, to this boondoggle amount in ukraine, given just what we learned in this "time" magazine investigation. >> you got it right, laura. clown show. that's exactly what it is. on the hill, they look for any kind of crisis to make money, borrow money. you know, we are printing over $100,000 a minute right now just to pay for all of this stuff. we don't have the money. we are borrowing money from china. you know, the people that we're actually supposed to be preparing war for in the near future, it's an absolute clown show. >> laura: john kirby is outraged that anyone in the g.o.p. would interfere with the administration's desire to send this money overseas. watch this, senator. >> demanding offsets for core national security needs like supporting israel and defending ukraine is a break with the normal bipartisan process that could have devastating implications for our safety and for our national security interest overseas. shouldn't be any political games played here with our national security. >> laura: senator, do the democrats want apparently no debate on this. it's just a shame the likes of you and senator hawley and others. shame you into supporting ukraine. and, if you don't, i guess you are no better than hamas. >> well, they think we should bite on anything that they throw out there, laura. it's really a shame. they don't do anything for the american taxpayer. all the money is gone out of the country. we're all looking at ukraine. we are looking at israel now. we have got to do at the border. and that's what we should do as republicans stand up and say, listen, we are all for israel. what a travesty that was. but, unless they do something for the american people at the border, because we're in trouble down there, if we don't do something, you don't get anything. >> laura: we're going to get into that with lt. governor of texas in just a moment. i couldn't agree more. mitch mcconnell is really unhappy with you, senator, for holding up these n nominations. of course, the nominations could all be voted on. the most important ones in due course. mcconnell took a shot at you today. i want do give you a chance to respond. >> i said this was a bad idea quite a while ago. i still think it's bad idea. i have been among those trying to convince senator tuberville to express his opposition some other way why people who actually make policy as opposed to military heroes who have sworn to stay out of politics. >> laura: senator, apparently now you are against military heroes because you believe, actually, that there should be a normal course of nominations, especially when they're pushing the abortion issue in the military, turning it into a sexual engineering event. >> i'm all for the military and we are in a tough time right now because our military is struggling to actually put a group together whether it's army, navy, air force. i don't want yo work for senator mcconnell. you know, i like him, fine. i work for the people of alabama and the taxpayers of this country. i thought we're pro-life. i am. we're going to fight that i do not like memos from the white house telling us to do our job. that don't worry about voting on this law. we're going to pass it for you. i don't like that. we should do it. we should have a voice for the american people in the senate on the senate floor about this. ii have not changed my mind. i'm tomorrow actually putting some nominees on the floor myself to get them confirmed because chuck schumer won't do it. if we have got to do his job for him, that's fine. >> laura: that's where the rubber meets the road. if they decide no, we don't want to vote on these, they just want the political issue for next year, correct? >> exactly. they want some kind of fodder to be able to use against us. but we are actually fighting for the american people in our country. >> laura: when you watched austin and blinken up there on the hill today, do you think they have a clue as to what is going on in ukraine? >> it looks like a rerun. every time they come into a they are always doing the same thing very poetic in how they talk and what they say. they talk in rhythms and rhymes. they don't give you any kind of substance. >> laura: infrastructure in ukraine and essentially a green new deal for ukraine. that's what he was essentially, you know, describing there. >> you remember president biden said our number one crisis is climate change. and it's not israel. it's not the middle east. it's not ukraine. these people have no clue what they are doing. we better get back to worrying about the problems of this country, first. what we're declining as a nation. if we don't make our country stronger and stronger, we're going to have huge problems outside our borders. >> laura: peace through strength. that's what reagan said. we need the strength part. senator, great to see you. >> thank you. >> laura: now there are some race of hope breaking through the clouds of the d.c. swamp. turns out common sense isn't totally dead. a group of house republicans proposed a separate vote on that $1.3 billion request for aid to israel. but they wanted to cut spending elsewhere in order to offset the costs. and the idea is actually simple. take the 14 billion from the obscene 80 billion that biden earmarked for the irs. the tax agency remembers plans to hire thousands of new agents who would essentially harass hard-working americans. of course, if the choice is to cut bureaucracy or grow it, the democrats will always choose the latter. >> house republicans released a partisan and woefully inadequate package with no aid to ukraine, no humanitarian assistance for gaza, and poison pills that help wealthy tax cheats avoid paying their fair share. how the heck could that be their highest priority? it's only when the hard right govern the republican caucus. >> laura: now they don't for a second consider how this debt pile-on and deficit spend something pushing us closer to the fiscal cliff. clean-up is far worse for our national security than whatever may happen in ukraine. of course, chuck and most of the accept to and octogenarians on the hill will be gone by the time their unsustainable spending grabs america by the throat it. will be another generation's catastrophe to deal with joining me now is kevin hassett. former trump chair on the council of economic advisers. kevin, i want to start with the danger posed by the interest that we have to pay every year on our debt. now, a lot of people say, laura, don't do this topic because people don't want to hear. guess what? this is really important. it's now $659 billion. okay? that's the interest. we get nothing for it. that's right off the top. that's what we have to pay. so how much more can we add to the debt until the interest payment alone becomes unsustainable, kevin? >> well, i think it's already unsustainable, laura. you were right to mention the blank check that we have given the defense department and other areas of government under the biden administration. and, you know, if you gave me your checkbook and gave me a blank check, the odds are that your checking account would be empty pretty soon, right? that's where we are, sadly, as an american people. here's the thing, the most chilling way to think about it. if you look at the latest cbo outlook, this is before all this new spending we are talking about, then the deficit over the next 10 years consume late to about $25 trillion. $25 trillion. that's the same size as the whole economy. that's about how much g.d.p. we make in a year. and so against that back drop, if you want to spend more money on this, then you need to cut money on that. and i absolutely 100 percent support sending money to israel and defending them after this terrible massacre. but, again, there is no reason in the world why we can't cut something else and, you know, the house people chose irs agents which really upset the democrats. what i would do is say to biden, i would go a step further and say if you want to spend more money on anything, then you're going to have to go back to this old word sequester cut spending on everything else proportionately to pay for the thing if you want to do. if you want to spend more money on ukraine, fine, cut everything else to pay for it. we can't afford it anymore. >> laura: over at msnbc, they are absolutely, you know, outraged that anyone would want to cut irs funding to pay for aid to israel. watch this. >> the opening conversation that the new speaker wants to have with the president of the united states in the middle of a crisis is let's elevate our concerns about the irs and the 80,000 employees that were added to their ranks for what purpose than to say well you get the money only if you cut the irs. you just look stupid. >> laura: kevin, that's a shock it was such a disaster as rnc chair with that analysis. look, again, they think they can keep writing checks like there is no tomorrow. but what happens tomorrow when our interest payments on this debt is bigger than the defense budget and it keeps growing and growing and growing? then what happens? >> right. yeah, that's right. well, what happens is that eventually the u.s. is going to have to have a massive retrenchment or we are going to default on our debt or the fed is going to print so much money that they inflate -- then what happens is that everybody's welfare is worse off. you saw what inflation has done to everybody. how real incomes are down since 2019 under the biden administration. >> laura: got to be much worse. >> by 4,000 bucks it. will be twice as bad if we don't start to get our house in order. think about the israeli issue. this is not the last bill. i'm sorry to say. we know this is going to drag on. they are going to need more money. therefore, you have to be prudent and budget and think about how are we going to pay for this? and so the republicans are being responsible, the democrats are being irresponsible. >> laura: clearly, biden, they know ukraine is gone. they lost ukraine, and they don't want to actually have this come into play for the election next year. the summer offensive turned out to be a total flop. they know it. and they are not telling the american people. that is shameful. kevin, thank you. now, while the administration is worried about other nation's borders as senator tuberville alluded to, the terrorists may be taking advantage of our open border. texas lt. governor dan patrick has new news there, next. ♪ this is our last chance to help save thousands of holocaust survivors who are suffering in the former soviet union today. the needs that these forgotten jews have are something beyond anything you can imagine. have you eaten this morning?

>> senator, let me assure you that anyone who poses a threat to our national security or our public safety is an enforcement priority of ours? >> laura: are you reassured? alejandro mayorkas' job isn't to enforbes the border. i hate to break it to you. it's to manage the flow of humanity across the border. and for those 169 individuals on the terror watch list who have been arrested this fiscal year, the administration says don't worry, that just demonstrates that the system's working. forget the fact that we have no idea how many terrorists may have slipped in unnoticed. i mean, don't worry about that. that's just inconvenient fact. joining me now is texas lt. governor dan patrick. dan, the white house is asking for $14 billion in this emergency supplemental. they are throwing everything together. $14 billion for border enforcement and detention facilities. but, given where you sit, do you have any faith that any of that money would actually be used to detain and deport migrants? >> absolutely not, laura. and listening to your last guest, the one thing our founders didn't do was to insist on a balanced budget in the constitution. 49 other states have to have a balanced budget. so, in texas, we just passed out of the texas senate today $1.5 billion to continue building the texas border wall. well, we have to take that money from somewhere. we can't print it like washington does. so we have to balance our budget. and now, laura, we are spending about 4 billion every two years on border security. we are effective with our money. we know where the money goes. washington doesn't. and for them to say that they take, you know, high priority, they take terrorists are caught, they have no idea, laura, 8 8 million people have come here. that would be the 14th largest state in the country if you put them one place. 8 million people. they don't know where these people go when they drop them off. they don't fingerprint. they don't do a background check on everyone. they get a few. let me tell you what, bet your bottom dollar, hamas and other terrorists from around the world have crossed this southern border since joe biden has been president and before. they sneak in somewhere. you know, we apprehend people, but they are the got-aways or the people we never see. >> laura: i'm sure they are just doing jobs that americans won't do, dan. by the way, mayorkas dodged several questions with senator johnson earlier. watch this. >> how many people has this administration let into the country? >> let me say at the outset that our job would be a lot easier if the broken immigration system was fixed. >> no, mr. secretary. i want a number. how many people have you let into this country? >> i should also. >> okay. i will give you the number. it's about 6 million. >> laura: okay. whenever they say the broken immigration system. i say 'was working pretty well in 2019. but this is all -- that's all they have. >> yeah. and, you know, when senator johnson said 6 million. that doesn't count the got aways and, remember, law enforcement thinks for every one we catch, remember, that's the ones we apprehended that two or three others get in. you multiply that in big numbers. this administration has turned their back on america, turned its back on texas. turned its back on law enforcement its turned its back on families though are seeing their children die from fentanyl. this administration doesn't give a damn about the lives of people in this country or those who are sex trafficked, the member, the women, the children who have come over here that are automatically put into sex trafficking, they don't care. this a cold-hearted administration, their only goal is to get people by the millions into this country one day turn them into citizens to vote. this is a plan. this isn't an action. this is malfeasance. this is their plan. they don't care. they don't care that we see through it. they don't care. >> laura: and they are ruthlessly focused on what they want to do whereas republicans kind of focused with each other. >> absolutely. >> laura: what did you think of adams in new york now saying he will pay for plane tickets for migrants out of the city. apparently he wants to send them back to you. this is like hot potato. you send them to him he sends to you. full up. can't take any more migrants. essentially the same thing from boston and chicago as well. >> yeah. all these sanctuary cities weren't really sanctuary cities, were they? you know, it was all just a facade. they didn't really want these people. and if they send them back to us, guess what? we have more buses than new york has. let me put it that way. we will send them right back and other blue states. only thing i don't want want, laura people's in martha's vineyard people own houses down to texas. that could be a problem for us. martha's vineyard, we don't want those folks. >> laura: that is really funny. dan, great to see you. thanks so much. all right, now it's time on halloween for our political palate cleanser. check this out. time to show off the kids of the angle. first up is vice president tomi kids kamala harris. adorable fighter pilot in a care bear. poppy the lifeguard. poppy rules the roost. samantha fox's son teddy dressed up as slapy from goose bumps. hey, slapy. and producer david cats kids carter, dakota dressed up as olaf and anna from frozen. all right. i have -- my kids are too old. i won't allow them to trick or treat. they will scare you if you go to the door with large children. coming up, a live report from israel and plus what universities are doing to silence speech on campus when it comes to the atrocities committed by hamas. that's next. ♪ when you need to prepare for unpredictable adventures...

>> laura, the numbers are just stunning when we start to prepare for this report that number was at 245. already up to 27 now. the most recent attack in iraq at al-asad air base this was two armed drones. that's where u.s. forces are based al-asad in the desert out there. no casualties from the latest attack. the number 2 7 a. tacks occurred just in the past two weeks. and they occurred against u.s. forces, both in iraq and in syria. the attacks are carried out by armed drones and by rockets as well. and they are carried out by armed groups aligned with iran. and as that happens there, here in northern israel, we're seeing a steady stream of attacks so far hezbollah using shorter range missiles, keeping the attacks to the border area. perhaps out of fear if they break out their larger, more powerful missile, they can sink deep into israel, they could face a massive retaliation from israel. laura, back to you. >> laura: steve, thanks so much for that and tens of thousands of students from the country and frankly around the world are applying early decision or early action to yale university this week. it's still considered one of the premier institutions of higher learning. and has an endowment of about $40 billion. and five former u.s. presidents, new england its alumni. many of yale's big donors were shocked recently to see students siding with a terror organization, hamas, chanting from the river to the sea. and some even blaming israel for those hideous w horrific attacks on october 7th. then the yale daily news edited a student article that detailed hamas' murders and kidnapping of civilians. references to rape and the bee headings were removed from the article. while they issued a correction a few days ago saying the claims were unsubstantiated. but then, shortly before air, after a huge pressure campaign from students and alums, the newspaper issued an apology, saying they were wrong. the student sentenced by the paper and she joins me now. is a harr, okay you, well, do you feel vindicated now. >> thank you so much for having me today. i think the undoing the yale daily news correction is a positive step forward but it doesn't make the initial action any less insidious. this was a reflection of student trends to not even justify but to simply deny hamas' brutality. >> laura: so, sahar, after the editor's note was posted on your article saying anner reasonnous correction that has been since retracted, tortured writing clas about rape were left out until we asked them why that was still missing, they hadn't really responded. so now it's back in. so it's back in now. so, your reaction to that? >> again, it should never have been taken out in the first place. hamas' rapes and bee headings were completely substantiated. reporters were on the ground within 48 hours. and they vaped videotaped it foe world to see likely to recruit other young men to their brutalization campaign. so the initial denial was a major student newspaper, a flagship newspaper deciding to side with them it's horrifying and the effectiveness of a public pressure campaign shows we can make a difference they don't make corrections by this often. so meticulously. this was uniquely anti-semitic event. and i'm glad that the public, excuse me, saw that it was targeted, that it was horrifying, and that it was wrong. >> laura: yale daily news says they are adding it back. in they did the wrong thing in the first place and then it was a very ham-handed, hand foisted way of trying to get back on course. but wild things happening on campus, sahar, i think this is just the beginning of the crack in the facade of the so-called tolerance set on campus. the truth matter in the end. sahar, thank you for writing your piece and thank you for coming on tonight. kamala harris' former staffers turns out they are coming after her. tulsi gabbard tells us why. that's next. ♪ how long have you been tracking the value of our car?
