i m maria bartiromo. today invasion at the southern border. 371,000 migrant encounters nationwide in the month of december alone. compare that to the entire final year of the trump administration in 2020 with where they had 405,000 for the whole year. something if former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe warned us about in the first three months of the biden administration, right here. we didn t have a problem four months ago. we had no national security issue like we have down there right now. now. this was a situation where the biden administration was so eager to want to declare trump policy cruel at the border that they, that they took away policies that were clearly working, and they reversed agreements that we had with with guatemala, honduras and el salvador and with mexico to stop the traffic at mexico s southern border. and they invited this crisis, they created this crisis. and so i think it s important know that they own this crisis. this was tot
the vote to come in. we expect donald trump to be the winner. we are standing by to hear donald trump speak about his victory. we heard from nikki haley a short while ago. here is a little bit of what she said. the other day, donald trump accused me of not providing security at the capitol on january 6. i have long called for mental competency tests for politicians over the age of 75. trump claims he would do better than me in one of those tests. maybe he would. maybe he wouldn t. but if he thinks that, them he should have no problem standing on a debate stage with me. tough words from nikki haley. let s go to kristin holmes. i don t suppose there s any second guessing about trump s campaign strategy to avoid all debates or interviews with anybody that might ask a tough question much the gauntlet has been thrown down by governor haley this evening. reporter: it has. i have no reason to believe that donald trump is going to take her up on that offer. i asked about this n
today s first-in-the-nation primary in new hampshire. i am kaitlan collins in washington, alongside anderson cooper in new york. right now, voters are getting their picks for the number one republican primary between donald trump and nikki haley. the former governor of south carolina is hoping to prove her critics wrong, vowing to stay in this race. of course, he would not require for her in the granite state, as trump and hurt rivals are falling in line behind him. we have reporters all over the state, analysts standing by with us. i want to go to the ground in new hampshire now, with sanchez and omar jimenez. omar, what s happening where you are? yes, we have been at this polling place in manchester throughout the day today. we have had so many people, hundreds coming over the course of today. i want to walk you inside a little bit here, just so you can see, then we will talk to a quick voter in a moment. this is the setup here. you see a, little less crowded than it wa
sean: and welcome to hannity. we are live in beautiful bedford, new hampshire, and it is now official. fox news is projecting that former president donald j. trump will win tonight s are public and primary decisively. the only question is, by how much? at this hour we are awaiting his victory speech. we expect it maybe at any moment. we ll bring it to you live when he steps on stage. by the way, we start now with reaction. kellyanne conway is with us, former arkansas governor mike huckabee is with us. this is what s interesting and what would make me worry as any republican in new hampshire. we talked about this, and that is it is mostly an open primary. 40-something percent of independents in this state. up until october, whatever the date was, democrats switching over so they could vote in the republican primary. to wreak a little havoc. if there s any state that s going to be favorable to nikki haley, this was going to be at, no? correct. she spent a lot of time here
what do you make of it? well it already is because the president is not enforcing the law as he s required to do by the constitution, so, texas, greg abbott, dan patrick, they having to step in. i can not understand, and i don t know anyone who can understand a good reason why the biden administration is simply abandoning these borders. it is hard to believe that the president of the united states is allowing all of these people from all over the world to just come in and a lot of them are getting away. those people aren t going to show back up for a hearing. we don t have a border, and it is, i think the repercussions of this are going to be very serious. neil: all right that was south carolina governor mcmaster on with me earlier essentially saying that we don t have a deal , we don t have any sort of order at the border and now the back and forth and the legal back and forth with lawsuits filed left and right isn t going to make that easier even when it comes to removing
