hello, everyone. this is outnumbered. i m emily compagno here with my co-host kayleigh mcenany and harris faulkner and also joining us today, fox news contributor and former state department spokesperson marie harff and former georgia congressman and host of the doug collins podcast, doug collins. now, the president s son has been under investigation for five years for tax and financial allegations and a firearms charge that stemmed from allegations that hunter lied during a gun purchase claiming he did not abuse drugs. but that contradicted admissions in his own autobiography where he detailed an addiction to crack cocaine. this plea deal will likely allow him to avoid any jail time. his lawyer releasing this statement with the announcement of two agreements between my client, hunter biden and the united states attorney s office for the district of delaware, it is my understanding that the five-year investigation into hunter is resolved. hunter will take responsibility f
on that list. and voters in this notoriously independent state tell me they are just waiting for her to prove that she can do it. so can she? if you add chris christie s support to hers here in new hampshire, the math is close. we have the narrow paths you could follow out of the granite state with the atlantic s mark leibovich, but before she goes anywhere, she s got to make it through tonight s caucus where it is 0 degrees and getting colder. joining us now from des moines, iowa, is nbc news correspondent ali vitali, staff writer at the atlantic and msnbc political contributor, mark leibovich, and here on set with me is nbc news correspondent shaquille brewster. ali, i m so happy to see you inside on this very very cold day. tell me what nikki haley is doing in the last moments before this caucus tonight? she s making the rounds still, katy. on the campaign trail circuit. specifically in the area that sort of makes a doughnut around des moines. and that s because her focu
in so many ways. as predicted, hp was just gifted a get out of jail free card by his own father s doj. nothing but a sweetheart deal that only other americans could dream up. what a shock. after a five-year investigation and mountains of material of evidence piled on top of each other, we have whistleblowers, eyewitness accounts. hunter was ever so gently slapped on the wrist with two misdemeanor tax violations for a missing irs deadline. we will talk about $3 million in taxes he did not pay. and a deferred gun charge that will be dismissed if hunter is a really good boy for the next few years. now former president trump actually called it a traffic ticket win in reality this is a plea deal. it is little more than a political stunt from a weaponize doj and nothing but a pathetic attempt to merely seem fair when they are anything but. keep in mind there are no violations or money laundering charges. there is no bribery indictments or drug charges. there is no prostitution or t
during the visit assuring that u.s. and china don t veer into conflict. lucas tomlinson is ticking things off for us, hey, lucas. ahead of the trip to china, proib president biden appearing to downplay the chinese balloon on the week long odyssey across the country. including flying over american nuclear missile bases. i don t think the leadership knew where it was and knew what was in it and knew what was going on. i think it was more embarrassing than it was intentional. and as aishah mentioned, antony blinken departing last night for beijing months after canceled abruptly after the spy balloon. the first visit by a secretary of state to china in more than five years. intense competition requires sustained diplomacy to assure that competition does not veer into confrontation or conflict and that s what the world expects of united states and china. blinken s trip to china comes after recent provocations in addition to the spy balloon. remember the air force jet tha
there are eight rose bowls full of illegal immigrants that came across the border just since october 1st, mr. secretary. bret, the numbers are historic. the numbers are extraordinarily large. this is something that is not specific to the united states southern border. bret: but you think it is a crisis now? bret, it is a challenge that we have been addressing vigorously with all the tools and resources we have been provided. bill: a challenge, not a crisis. his hands are tied, don t blame us. those were the answers from secretary mayorkas saying there is nothing more he can do on the border. illegal migrants totally unchecked one after the other. good morning, it s friday. you ve almost made it. 9:00 a.m. in new york. i m bill hemmer. dana: can i say one thing about that interview? peter and i watched it last night. peter is from europe. when mayorkas mayorkas said this is not a problem not unique to america. he is talking about the scope and scale. it is so differe
