[laughter] 's before it all takes the same amount which is really long time and you just did not -- you tried to too many things that's on you. so we had thought that i would get what i want to get when there's a 30 seconds back to the show not empty-handed. rachel: idea copy two. rachel good morning good to see you. rachel: no more complaints chick-fil-a is on the way. there is a christmas tree outside. courts are wonderful people outside visiting new york. we see them, we see you, love you thanks for being here speaking of new york writer talk about this near governor is expected to announce a special election to replace george santos in the next couple of days. it is because santos was expelled in a historic vote on friday. he joins i believe, several confederates confederate and two convicted felons. >> the only members to be kicked out, expelled from congress. c5 one of the problems, will, this expulsion is now the republicans have an even slower majority in the house. here is a breakdown of those numbers 434 members total in-house 221 republicans. 213 democrats, one vacancy. pete: the majority's to 18 are down to three if going to pass anything some really critical stuff coming on the pica. where the speaker of the house with us last hour along with the product. we asked about the border wall hrhor two they passed an impeachment inquiry. and also the vote on santos. there has been criticism this guy votes of the republican majority he is not convicted where the due process? here is what the speaker and the representative had to say earlier in the program. >> it was a regrettable day. prior to yester only five people ever been expelled from congress. three working federate's comment to her convicted of federal charges in george santos has not been convicted in a court. our party believes in the rule of law, due process and we are deeply concerned about preserving those things. ed maybe he will be convicted by a jury of his peers but that did not happen yet and that's all we had reservations about it. >> made for collins at the ethics committee report had concerns this is not befitting of a member of congress but again my concern was the lack of due process and it is a very slippery slope with this type of president is set. however the house worked we are committed to making sure we hold the seats we are very optimistic will have a strong candidate to join a republican majority in february or march. rachel: a lot good morning not just about due process but what is the priority of the house like? and to their credit both of these members the speaker and elise's to phonic did not vote for taking out george santos. >> i am glad -- i'm and what se brought that up. george santos in many ways is a clown. the level of lies are out of control. trying to figure out there's a picture of t him with the weddig ring is trying to figure office wedding ring is leopard prints. everything is a cartoon to your point, pete. will: you do not have the defend the individual for due process that's what the speaker said this is not whether or not you expel someone from congress based on accusations and not convictions. it is not just due process. you are thwarting the will of the voter. whatever you think of santos it does not matter the voters elected him. if you're going to tell the voters you are not allowed to have your choice, then you better have a really high standard in the standard should be the rule of law. and due process. she said long island will vote for another republican, we will see if they will. that is the whole point here. you are supposed to reflect the will of the voter. rachel: i see it differently. all those points are well taken the will of the voter in his district, they voted for him. the rule of law he has not been convicted of anything but i am so frustrated by the two-tier system. i see it in the way our protesters are treated the republican protesters are treated versus liberal protesters to you see the way te fbi goes after parents and school boards and catholics and pro-lifers. and yes it all the way up to donald trump to tears of justice. and you see it in the house where you see menendez and others who do things it being protected by their party who says we are going to protect them and then republicans throwing their own guy under the bus with all of this and she brought up. i just think there are two tears of justice. they are playing into that. will: democrats in a better closing ranks appeared one of the criticisms you could have of the speaker is they did not whip on this votes. they did not try to press the members to vote to keep santos you heard them say in our interview we left it at being a conscious vote. that must've been a calculation of members to bail if you went for it and lose it looks like you do not control your caucus and you open it up. but that is the problem if you have a set of principles that you believe in as a republicans up against a power machine on the other side this issue will vote together as a block when ever we need to do what you go up against the wall. >> the speaker said they believe they have the votes to formalize the impeachment process and inquiry of joe biden. let's say that actually happens. rachel: think it will. israel hamas trading rocket fire overnight as idf continues its military operations in the gaza strip after a temporary cease-fire. idf saying they have hit at least 400 terror targets in last 24 hours. buffer zone near its border with gaza to prevent future attacks after the war ends. >> greg palkot is live in southern israel with the latest. >> hey folks it is day two of the resume to warfare between israel and hamas. we can confirm first hand the fight is very much on. i c can remand and vent to zoom into the gaza strip which is only about a mile or so away from us. in the last couple of hours we have been hearing israeli artillery outgoing. a lot of small arms fire from the ground. hits by israeli ships off the coast drones and smokescreens this is a signed hundreds of israeli troops who have been inside gaza for a while could be doing close battle with hamas in the northern part of the strip. after that cease-fire perhaps try to take out hamas rocket firing positions which is one go up we witness a barrage yesterday and last nights. most were knocked down by israeli defenses. israeli air force has been very busy up and down gaza especially focus on the southern part of the region there were 50 strikes in t last 24 hours and they are. the hamas leadership to be hiding there. here's what idf spokesman told you folks just a short time ago. >> we are increasing the pressure. we are engaging hamas. they know we are coming. we intend on delivering the hostages home. we intend on removing hamas from controlling the gaza strip. >> there is action on many fronts. some of it targeting the united states. it's believe militia backed by iran has a huge stake and fighting in gaza, lebanon and elsewhere have been targeting american military bases in the region buried 74 in the last six weeks with casualties. and finally back to the hostages held by hamas. sad news and less 24 hours here, six israelis got to have been captive have been killed. 105 were freed in the past week. wonder to 36 remain. as for the americans will nationals israeli americans for have been freed, eight are still inside. tough stuff back to you. >> you gave us a shot at the beginning of your report you are a mile out of gaza. they look to establish a buffer zone at the end of this around gaza. any idea on where and how big that buffer zone may be in relation to where you're standing right now? >> it is a report coming out from the wall street journal. it would be frankly again we are about a mile away from there. there is a lot of open ground next to the fence. that is perhaps another quarter of a mile or so that the israeli forces would like to establish as a safeguard against hamas or any kind of group doing this again. it's going to be hitting some backfire from other arab nations who do not like the idea that it backed israel would be taking more land inside of gaza for its needs. but everything has changed in this region, in this world in the past him inspect you guys. x absolute thank you. i have been aware greg

want to go to the dream schools there reach schools. maybe it's not going to happen there's still plenty of other amazing schools out there and we have seen now, after the fact her daughter did it

[laughter] come on page two. pete: it's better to not help it better to not hope. >> why not, why not? rachel: other reality tv couples have survived. the first bachelor couple are still together. what is it trista and ryan the very first rendition of the bachelor. rachel: at work too. too.sean and rachel still going strong there we go up model couple right there for. >> model for reality tv forget what i think about reality tv it it'll all work out. rachel: here is relative you have nine kids here we go.

i was good we want to talk about the position you have taken. quite strongly talk about carbon capture pipelines running throughout iowa. he would try their gop rivals a kind of on the spot about it straight talk about it, went to get their position. earlier today seems to be somewhat peculiar and a localized to iowa when it comes to animate domain and is pipelines. part of the much bigger broader conversation about climate change. help us understand this issue none of us had heard of pipelines that are carbon captured. >> look, i can titus the major issue for people on the ground across northern and western iowa. what has happened is a global climate colt says carbon dioxide is the enemy. the u.s. government has created subsidies that pay people who remove carbon dioxide from ethanol plants and bury it into the ground. the problem is that many farmers do not want that pipeline running across their own land. and so now iowa is on its way to authorizing imminent domain. taking the land of those farmers or easements across that land without their permission. that has created a firestorm here in iowa. the funny part of this is it nobody is talking about it. no presidential candidate not even the republican leadership in iowa. the reason why is it comes down to special interests at issue here. the reason i am talking about this as it is another example of the glover climate religion i've been criticizing for years. now coming to the backyard of iowa farmers. literally taking or using their land without permission. in mississippi when the carbon capture pipelines and of exploiting there's all kinds of consequences people end up in the hospital. it affects the land. so this is a real issue and yet another example of an issue i am the only candidate wh who's ablo talk about it. precisely because i'm not captured by the special interests. rachel: i think it's very interesting i'm glad you brought it up. that is about the climate colt as you say. but behind the climate colt are lots of people making money. isounds like another boondoggle. you mentioned acetyl, you are in iowa i know that's another third rail. i never expect you to shy away from third rails what is your position on that? >> yes, my position on that as i'm pro ethanol but for a pro a- market justification. the best solution at all is and would have been consumer choice at the pump just let consumers decide how much they are able to get in there fuel blend. we do not have consumer choice today it's the second best alternative is look to some markets where consumer choice does exist like in wichita, kansas. you see consumers do choose when they get the choice a higher blend of ethanol because it is cheaper and it's made in america. since we do not have consumer choice at the pump as a consequence of oil industry lobbying that minimum fuel standard set by the government is the second best alternative. so suffer me unprincipled i love islands but i tell islands when i meet them this i'm not saying this just because i love i will farmers i'm saying this because it's a second best pro- market justification and that's where it lands. >> let's get to the brass attacks on the politics we are about six weeks out. you see the polls, we see the polls we know is not about polls it's about voters but voters are going to go and cast their vote. how do you feel where you stand quite dark we are showing a poll showing up 4% in iowa. scott is out so now it's really desantis, haley, your self there in iowa. if that poll holds or is close to it if you come in third or fourth what is your path? what is the argument you're making to voters? >> first of all i do not think that pole is going to hold i'm not saying what you are saying that's probably a little bit dated for the second thing i would say though is these polls are completely missing our supporter base. i was on a college campus last night we ar we were in a packedm of people. i have not heard cheering that loud since a football game. none of these people polled who are our supporters i think this is actually were good for us the fact those expectations are set relatively low for me is a perfect set up paying the generate 15th. we are going to shatter those expectations. many independents, libertarians, young people all of whom have not been to a caucus before but they're coming out and caucusing for us. we are setting up for a major surprise on generate 15th. so wait and see what happens then i think that's going to propel us forward in this race. >> will be success what would be failure for you in iowa? >> at this point if i am placing in the top three that's already shattering the expectations. i think we have a path to potentially win iowa. we look at the sheer numbers coming out to my events, that are coming out to support this campaign but who have never been to a caucus in recent years which means they are not polled that puts us in a position to go further. here is another thing to bring a lot of voters to me especially in this late cycle. a lot of islands are undecided. there's two america first candidates in this race that is donald trump and myself many are saying and me being able to take positions on issues other candidates are not able to touch not just the carbon capture type when i'm the only person that's failed to call for mcdaniel to reside publicly stand by it called the climate kate change agenda the hoax that it is straight speak some hard truth about how our money is being spent in ukraine some other antidemocratic practices. about the ending of birthright citizens for the kids of illegal migrants. these are all examples of issues where i am the only candidate in this field that is able to speak those hard truths. i think a lot of activists here and i will wait until the end. they break late but they were aboard a candidate who's able to speak the truth. not just when it is easy but when it is hard. even areas the public the republican this not approve of the message. rachel: however it ends really wish you the best i just think it has been really fascinating and it really encouraging to see you touch all those third rails. and in many ways just like donald trump change the way people think about the party in that way. i think some of the other cats are living in another era. i guess. that is what i would say. >> i would rather speak the truth and lose an election then win by playing some political snakes and ladders. i think it's going to be the winning strategy so thank you i appreciate it. >> thank you very much. coming up a global red wave. conservatives are gaining ground, could happen in the u.s. as well but pete and i will go off the wall. rachel: first eight kia border strategy take away from taxes sent litigation over vaccination. the new lawsuit in the lone star state is next with texas ag ken paxton. he's going to unpack it all with us. stay with us. ng's hawaiian slider. tastes good too! king's hawaiian slider sunday... the only way to sunday! we handcraft every stearns & foster using the finest materials, like indulgent memory foam, and ultra-conforming innersprings, for a beautiful mattress and indescribable comfort. for a limited time, save up to $800 on select stearns & foster adjustable mattress sets. the chase ink business premier card is made for people like sam, who make- everyday products, designed smarter. like a smart coffee grinder, that orders fresh beans for you. oh, genius! for more breakthroughs like that- i need a breakthrough card. like ours! with 2.5% cash back on purchases of $5,000 or more. plus unlimited 2% cash back on all other purchases. and with greater spending potential, sam can keep making smart ideas- a brilliant reality! the ink business premier card from chase for business. make more of what's yours. there once was a tree lovingly made to look real.

[inaudible] we feel like we have a leg to stand on. rachel: something has to be done clearly the people of texas once wantthose there that protection there those water barriers it is just unbelievable the federal government is coming in and trying to stop you it is unconscionable frankly. i want to ask you about pfizer. you are actually going to sue over vaccine effectiveness. are you also suing them for vaccine injuries? we have seen reports of an increase in cancers in men and women we've also seen an increase in miscarriages that have no explanation other than perhaps the vaccine. where are you at on this and exactly what br grounds are you suing pfizer? >> everything is on the table. they have relied on federal protection and i think because of that date did not do the right testing. and then they found out this vaccine wasn't effective and it was not effective for very long. the potential side effects are very negative to some people date did not disclose that they tried to suppress that evidence. now in this court process we are going to find out the truth. the american people can know, my people can know and it's pretty important in the future of our country that people know what actually happened so they can make decisions next time about whether they should trust companies like this before the test the vaccine. >> they have this protection from the federal government at the same time the federal government is forcing people to take the vaccine that is not had any long term studies. again another unconscionable situation that hopefully texas will hold people accountable for it. i guess it is too late to do that. and we really appreciate that. we have a statement from pfizer. they are deeply committed to the well-being of patients that they serve and have no higher priority than the safety and effectiveness of its treatments and vaccines representation made by the company about its covid 19 vaccines have been accurate and the science -based event will see if ken paxton, when you say that statement? >> i say they are not telling the truth. as we go through this litigation and discovery we already know they claim it's 95% effective we know that numbers not even close. we are going to get to the bottom of this and let pfizer know and all these others they're not going to get away this in texas. we have our own laws i can protect their your citizens ans my job. >> good for you, thank you ken paxton, really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> got it. coming up eight minnesota middle school is banning cell phones and the students reactions might surprise you. that story is ahead. but first the big 10 championship game is ahead. michigan versus iowa. michigan versus iowa. fox sports analyst joe has a preview next. with my psoriatic arthritis symptoms. but just ok isn't ok. and i was done settling. if you still have symptoms after a tnf blocker like humira or enbrel, rinvoq is different and may help. rinvoq is a once-daily pill that can rapidly relieve joint pain, stiffness, and swelling in ra and psa. relieve fatigue for some... and stop joint damage. and in psa, can leave skin clear or almost clear. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal; cancers, including lymphoma and skin; heart attack, stroke, and gi tears occurred. people 50 and older with a heart disease risk factor have an increased risk of death. serious allergic reactions can occur. tell your doctor if you are or may become pregnant. done settling? ask your rheumatologist for rinvoq. and take back what's yours. abbvie could help you save.

[laughter] we're going to talk for a minute get about iowa, michigan we could do this for an hour and i'd love to enforce about four minutes a you want to have to refute sinners and what happens if you. let's have the game that is on box. if iowa were to be michigan, big 10 is on the college football playoffs absolutely out. >> i think there is probably different scenarios where michigan would still find their way into the playoffs depending upon what happens. i really believe that in particular with their win last week against ohio state. i don't think they will be totally out. there would have to be a bit of chaos for college football. >> aylett beating michigan today. i am afraid you know me we know each other but i'm afraid i'm headed for a debate is going to be alabama against texas and see you tweeting about it this is where i say you and i are on the same side. if alabama beats georgia today i do not see any argument that's based on objective reality this does not turn into ice dancing and we have judges that say he is better or not. texas it beats alabama if it comes down between those two teams texas has to go to college football playoff. >> i would think. and that is certainly what i would argue for so i think we are on the same page in that regard. that game has to mean something. i would also offer up one more nuanced to this that in college football are nonconference schedules are made by athletic directors. you've got to incentivize those directors to take and play those games that all of us fans would like to see like alabama and texas. if you devalue that game and the results of that game what you are going to do is d incentivize athletic directors make the games we want to see as a fan and in the future we won't get those matchups. we are going to get more the small school directional universities that go in and play games we do not want to see. i think it not only valuing the schedule and the opportunity they created to play that game but also the result is obvious texas to beat them in tuscaloosa by double digits and if it came down to those two schools they would have to honor that head-to-head victory for texas. i think they would both go. >> george it would be out obviously washington is in. by the way is evidence for this, everybody said organ was a better team over washington. they ignored the results on the field they said no, no, no organ is a better team. washington beat them for a second time. we have to honor what happens on the field. >> or else we would just have vegas decide who is was in the college for bob playoff. this debate when it comes to the undefeated florida state team if they are able to beat louisville in the championship game then everyone is going to say they should go, they are undefeated and i certainly understand that argument. they have lost their quarterback a terrific player at jordan traffic to a horrific injury the people are suggested and probably not as good as some of the other teams that are vying for the spots in the playoffs. while that might be true without their quarterback, honoring the undefeated and what this team deserves and has earned is something we should be talking about. >> i'm down to 30 seconds who are the four at the end of the weekend? >> i think georgette beats alabama it so would be georgia, michigan obviously what seems to be a commanding position at least based on the odds in the big ten game it would be georgia, michigan, washington and i actually think texas is going to win at louisville's going to when i think texas is going to go to the playoffs. >> we did not have a knockdown drag out at all that is perfect. i'm turning into the biggest louisville fan tonight. texas goes the college class thanks men will be watching today. on fox cov box coverage at 6:30. eastern time. coming up trump and desantis dissent on i was any chance of florida governor can close this massive gigantic gap? that is next. if you have this... consider adding this. an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan from unitedhealthcare. medicare supplement plans help by paying some of what medicare doesn't... and let you see any doctor. any specialist. anywhere in the u.s. who accepts medicare patients. so if you have this... consider adding this. call unitedhealthcare today for your free decision guide. ♪
