after that wave of deadly tornadoes this weekend. we will also show you how democrats, the mob, the media are now trying t this horrific natural disaster but first, our account continues, we won't stop. >> americans held hostage behind enemy lines day 121. >> sean: 134 days since joe biden promise not to abandon americans now according to "the washington po evacuations have as we told you they would predictably slowed t a trickle. the administration says the process is now limited by the realities on the ground and the taliban-controlled isla emirates of afghanistan. the biden administration laughably promised wee have all the leverage and the terrorists and the taliban over them to secure the release of those on the ground that they abandoned. that was and remains a blatant lie. one senior state department official is telling the post that a real evacuation is no longer possible. "when you don't have people in the country, there is not really a functioning airport and arguably, there are tens if not hundreds of thousands who have fallen to the broad category of at risk so make no mistake, thi is a serious ongoing crisis without any obvious solution completely preventable cause an perpetrated by joe biden and hope now has diminished and sadly it appears that americans military families, thousands of green card holders that are eligible to live in this country, our afghan allies will not be getting out for years if at all. now, it is one of the m self-inflicted crises responsible for joe biden's plummeting poll numbers. look at this, new abc news survey, only 28% of people approved of his handling of inflation in the economy, a measly 36% approve o handling of crime. his overall approval rating now is underwater by around ten points in nearly every single poll. the only person pulling worsed than joe biden is his choice of a vice president, kamala harris. in fact, no vice president in u.s. history has a lower approval rating than kamala harris and maybe that's because the vice president is terrible at her job. for example, ever since she was appointed border czar, she has done nothing to resolve the border crisis. she did make a 30 minute trip near the border, not where she needed to be in el paso. nowhere close to where the migrant surge was happening and a useless trip to the southern border, made a tri to central america to see the problems going on there. along with a whole phone call to the president of guatemala. that's one in nine months. that's it. take a look. >> is vice president harris still in charge of addressing migration? >> she is and i just announced a s commitment that she is announcing this afternoon. >> why is it she has not spoken to the president of guatemala sinc six months. >> i did see this kind of strange report from the president of guatemala saying that he has had no contact with the white house, which is inacc >> he said vice president harris, he has not spoken to he and if she's in charge, why is >> we have had a range of conversations that has been reflected in our readout we put out last week with our national security advisor. >> sean: yet another massive caravan, another is headed our way, kamala harris has no plan of action, no resolution, no future plans to visit the border, absolutely no by the way, are you surprised a this point, is anybody surprise according to reports, harris often refuses to read briefings is frequently unprepared for th daily challenges that she would face is vice president and get this, instead of actually doing her job, she now spendss countless hours berating her ow staff according to numerous reports allegedly kamala harris is such a menace that some are openly referring to her as a soul destroying bully. of course, amid lashing out at her own employees, also found time to redecorate her own office with carefully curated art pieces and all white furniture set, brand-new light blue collar for the walls and apparently according to her, the border crisis can wait. her office was in desperate need of a makeover mike pence apparently doesn't share the same decorating taste but the ridiculous headlines about her will not be a distrac peggy newman is now imploring her to get serious writing "the president is old and his judgment questionable. she seems out of her depth.le we will have another three years of this, sadly, the answer is yes. sadly, i have to agree. joining us with more, fox news contributor ari fleischer and a former trump white house chief of staff reince priebus. we will begin with you.il again, we are still point where we have one crisis after another and no solution o the horizon and no shift in pol today, double down on build bac better socialism and arm-twisting of joe manchin. we don't know how that went and if it went well, they will get there build back better socialism which is estimated to be 5 trillion.if >> first of al happening in then. white house taking drama in the white house to a whole new level. everything you just read out between kamala harris and thehe president is a knife fight that we just don't see very often yes. we have some drama and every white house, but to have planted stories between the oval office and down the hallway to the vps office is in it's real, it's not made up, an the reason is kamala harris is total liability to the presiden she doesn't offer any balancing political philosophy to the presidentva unlike you mentione pence who was conservative and conventional, she doesn't offer any different base of support from the president unlike pence who was a faith-based conservat worse yet from being a liability, she's an anchor. you just said she's at 28% approval that puts her at the level of divorce lawyers and lobbyists who represent countries thatt everybody hates. that's the ter >> sean: a friend of mine says >> it is a bad situation. >> sean: soul crushing bully is the term that people are using. she tried the video with child actors, as you know, ari fleisc this is your area of expertise crisis management. also, people are leaving in droves, she has brought in aen pr team for an image makeover. i don't see any changes as of now and joe biden doesn't want to even acknowledg her at bob dole's funeral. >> a pr team full of children reading off of a script for a spontaneous event. she is in overhead, sor was the presiden at least the president is less in over his head than she is. we have to pray for his good health so we don't get hurt. when you look at her boss, i think it's fair to say since joe biden took office, he has the reverse mida what issue has he not botched? the american people largely wan to withdraw from afghanistan. energy independence, we were a free independent country. he botched our energy. the souther our southern border was secure. american people want a secure border and humane immigration p he delivered neither. almost every issue he botched largely because the biggest on his watch has been going well. and they've become a welcome party. that's the core of the botch. >> sean: if you want to fix the border problem, you have to go back to the trump policies that worked. you want to fix the energy problem which would impact inflation, which is now at a 39 year high, you go back to the trump policies on energy and th you want to fix foreign policy issues, you will have to get a little tougher and a little bit more awake than joe biden is an aware and a little tougher. i don't see that joe biden has the ability to stand up to russia and say we are going to supply all the energy needs of our western european allies, he wouldn't do that. he needs to say to china we are not going to import a single product from your country unlesso you stop saber rattling with taiwan. those things would work. no one is talking about war, use the tools you have available. >> just remember as i said before, this is intentional conduct by the president. it was the president who chose to sign six executive orders on inauguration day -- excuse me eight. six of them had to do with this border issue, not building the wall, decriminalizing -- not deporting illegals who have committed cri he's the one that signed the executive order on the keystone they are the ones that went forward with this crazy spendin after they've been warned that when you put too much money in the economy chasing the same amount of goods you will create so i put it more in the categor of intentional conduct. g this s what they want to do. they've got a big mess on their hands. they think their problem is the don't communicate correctly about this stuff, not actually the stuff they are doing and this is why they will pay a hug price at the ballot box because what they're doing is what the american people aren't buying. >> sean: going to give you the last word and maybe as part of your last word, the top three o four things you would recommend they need to do immediately to get their polling back in line? >> he should immediately walk away from build back better. he wants to be a moderate, he should work on something bipartisan and take it in very small nuggets but he can't do i because he is too deeply in deb he began his presidency appealing to them, he can't cut and run from his base now. he is trapped with his base. harris is the anchor around biden and progressives are the anchor e.around biden as well. they ar >> sean: great analysis. thank you both. breaking earlier toda senator joe manchin spoke with president biden on the phone about his build back better green deal socialism deal. if he votes no, this insane spending plan will be dead. tonight, there are 5 trillion reasons for joe manchin to walk away from this bill. according to the bipartisan gold standard, congressional budget office nonpartisan budget office, build back better actually, when you get rid of all the accounting gimmicks and you get rid of all the sunsetccou clauses that are ridiculous if you include them, actually cost $5.1 trillion with interest and that adds $3 trillion to the deficit. democrats have been lying to yo trying to mask the true cost by pretending the programs in this bill will just magically end in year three, five, whatever. politicians lie, the cbo does n according to all the democrats are the gold standard at least according to every top democrat in office. take a look and remind you of what they think about cbo.e. >> the estimate frm the cbo which is the gold standard, no republican or democrat questio >> some of them are trying to pin a rose on this report and make it sound like it's a good thing and others are trying to discredit the cbo but it's completely wrong. >> before we enact major legislation, we should know the truth. cbo speaks the truth. they've been speaking the truth for decades. and to try to attack cbo is simply attacking the messenger. >> the cbo nonpartisanbo fact-based score shows what a horror show this republican pla >> we're going to be stopping at cold b and certainly the cbo information gives us a big boos >> sean: now that the math isn't working for them, they are trashing the cbo. actually said they are outdated because they don't count the well-being of the planet. how do you calculat and jen psaki calling the cbo analysis fake, taking a cheap shot at senator lindsey graham who insisted on real numbers an no accounting gimmicks. take a >> the president says build bac better is not going to add a penny to the deficit. they assume social programs are going to be made permanent and in that case it would add almost $3 trillion, so does that mean president biden will commit to these programs are not going to be made permanent?t?n >> first f all, what you're talking about here is a fake cbo score that is not based on the actual bill that anybody is voting on. this is a ask request by senator graham to score a bill that is not currently being debated but it's important to understand when anyone raises a question about this new cbo score, it is a fake score about a bill that doesn't exist and we should really focus on the a actual bil everyone is going to vote on and considering in congress right n >> sean: jen psaki is lying as per usual.n the true cost of build back better socialism is not fully paid for it. we've been lied to, not even close and according to two of barack obama's top economic advisors, this bill would cause inflation to spike even more. lindsey graham said it's likee pouring gasoline on it. joining us now, south carolina senator lindsey first of all, i was mad at you over the infrastructure bill i'm not as mad as i was, so we don't always agree but you rightly demanded no accounting gimmicks, you rightly demanded it be scored accurately, the democrats always said the cbo is the gold standard and when you get to the real numbers 5.1 trillion, 3 trillion to the deficit. we've been lied to the whole time. >> so what did i do? i asked the cbo to look at the bill to see if it had budgetet gimmicks and that's what joe manchin asked i last month and what did cbo tel if the 17 programs stay in plac and will never go away, it's no you spend that much money over ten years the way the bill was constructed, the deficit goes from 360 billion to 3 trillion. so it's alive. so what she said about me is a lie. the bill on the floor is a lie. the bill on the floor and set up to because 1.75 trillion based on a lie.th it's a lie that these programs will go away. if you tell the truth about the bill like cbo did, it's 5 trillion, not 1.75, 3 trillion deficit. i don't know what joe manchin is going to do the biggest game in town right now is what will joe manchin do i can tell you what he said. he said he would not vote for a bill that was part of a shell game full of budget gimmicks the cbo said this is a budget gimmick bill. he said he would not vote for a bill that added to the deficit.bi this bill adds $3 trillion to the deficit. he said he wouldn't vote for a bill that would make inflation worse this bill will pour gasoline on the inflation fire. using his own words, he should vote against this bill. >> sean: so america's hopes to beat back this new green deal radical build back better socialism hangs in the balance with one of vote, one man, one person? our only hope -- i have a good relationship with joe manchin. i think he really cares about the people of west virginia butt its all -- he holds all the cards h >> 100%. every republican will against build back better and that's quite a feat. the republican party can't unite itself but the democratic party has been able to do something w can't do. build back better has every republican, all of us wil vote against it because it's a nightmare for the country. it will lead to inflation, it's full of budget gimmicks and his $3 trillion unpaid for so every republican vote no and if joe manchin listens to the good people of west virginia, he wil vote no. this bill, the green new dealoo components will make gas prices go way up. they've gone up 58% since biden has bee the build back better will -- i you want this bill to pass and be paid for, show me how you come up with $3 trillion of tax increases or government cuts. it can't be done, it should be shelved or rewritten. >> sean: have you talked to joe manchin and how certain are you all republicans stay united? >> i've never been more certain of anything in my life. susan collins, rand paul ted cruz, lindsey graham fill-in the blan mitch mcconnell, we are all going to vote no.. the first person i told about the score was joe manchin and he was stunned that the cbo had the bill more costly that went from 360 billion over ten years to $3 trillion in deficit. again, if joe will do what he said he would do in terms of evaluating this bill, make sure it doesn't add to inflation make sure it's paid for, make sure he doesn't have any gimmicks, he will vote because it's based on his own s the cbo destroyed his ability t vote yes. >> sean: we are going why did the republicans help an assist in a one-time role, can you explain that to me? i've got to tell you something. the republican party under mitch mcconnell promised not to do it in september. then at the last minute, they aided and abetted the democrats who bought them more time. now they did at a different way but a one-time rule is just another way to buy the more time. republicans have been kept out of the budgetary process the entire time. why and what are p the implications? we have less than a minute. >> i think people are worried about -- we had a good plan make them raise the debt ceiling using reconciliation, same mechanism used to spend all this money. that was a good idea. what we wound up doing was a mistake allowing the house to change the senate rules but here's the goo all of us are on board against build back better. i hope joe manchin will vote against build back better. >> sean: joe manchin, the world awaits your a lot of pressure on one guy. i think i agree with you if he stands up for the people of west virginia, it's a no-brainer. goodoues people. the left rushe the deadly tornadoes in kentuck this weekend. it was shameless and draconian covid mandates are coming back in blue states. mark meadows in an exclusive interview will join us live as january 6th committee with a predetermined outcome recommended to charge him with stay with us as we continue. e recommended to charge him with contempt. stay with us as we want to save on your home internet?

for example, the 2021 climate report finds data on tornadoes and climate change is inconclusive. "attribution of certain classes of extreme weather like tornadoes is beyond current modeling and c theoretical capa but of course, that does not stop the democrats in the middl of pushing their new green deal socialism from rushing to politicize a tragedy. and the fueling of course t more hyster, speculation about naturally occurring weather events, climate change is a religion and the cult of the radical left. for example, failed far left congressman eric swalwell tweeted in part "do not for one second forget that rand paul ha voted against helping most americans most times that they are in need. democrats can never let a crisis go to waste. rahm emanuel said that. even in the immediate aftermath of a really horrific tragedy. here to break it all down is author of the book the weaponization of whether in the phony climate war become a meteorologist and of c founder of weatherbell.com. you know what i love about you is whether is your passion, one of these crazy storm chasers everyone is running away from tornadoes and hurricanes and you're moving right into them but you have encyclopedic knowledge, if i ask you about the hurricane season in the 1920s, i bet you could tell me the name of every hurricane, ho bad it was, what category it wa et cetera, et cetera, my correc on that? >> i could tell you where they went, but they didn't have names back then. >> sean: of course, i stand corrected and embarrassed on my own show. thank you. but you could tell me was in a category three, four, five, what the damage was, corr >> that's right. because if you understand the past, you have a foundation to reach for the future and erasing the past or pretending things didn't occur like for instance the 1925 tri-state tornado which this tornado may have actually been as bad or worse than that but it's 96 years later and for the fema director to say what she said is about as extremely wrong as i've evers seen unless she is forecasting this to come back every year, this is the new normal, it's the 96 return rate so that's the fact, here's the other fact. they've said nothin severe weather this particular whether the season because ther hasn't been much going on. the combination of wind damage and hail reports is near record lows but that's what they do and why i call it weaponization. of they wait for something to happen.at the next big thing is going to be, look out, europe and vladimir putin, i'm sure his meteorologist is laughing and smiling right now, severe and bitter cold is going to set int europe much of late december an we are also watching what's going on in alaska because that looks like it's bound for the united states. when you put together the energy situation, supply line situation in this country, another that has been engineered will then be blamed just like this particular situation is blamed on climate >> sean: and the '70s saying the next ice age iss coming on the cover of "newsweek." so there is a natural ebb and flow historically that you can trace and would you argue that the u.n. is correct, the science cannot determine at this point whether or not man-made anythin had anything to do with these t i have ten seconds. >> given their stated wow stated agenda, that is remarkably objective on their part and that's exactly right, strong tour tornadoes have been decreasing over the past 20 totot 30 years, there'sa reason for that, we can't get into that right now but for thi particular year in general, thi has stood out just like what yo may see later this week in the philippines, a super typhoon hi is standing out because they have had near record low typhoo activity in the western pacific but that's what they do, it's almost like snakes in the grass way to attack. >> sean: thank y our prayers are with all the people impacted by this, it is devastating, lives are uprooted and lost, prayers are with all of you and it is sad that peopl would use even a weather event to advance an agenda, pretty pathetic without science behind it, the very people that lectur us to follow the signs. now the democrats never ending covid restrictions, the pandemic theater is showing no signs of slowing down. also tonight here in new york, a statewide vax or wear a mask rule for going indoors went into effect today. california is going several steps further as the failed far left state is re-implementing a universal indoor mask mandate starting on wednesday.pl and that's not all, anyone unvaccinated who wants to atten a mega event must show proof of a negative test a day before th we are also learning tonight th u.s. air force has now administratively discharged 27 members for refusing the covid-19 vaccine believed to be the first members removed over the mandate. here with reaction, cohost of the clay travis and buck sexton show, clay travis. i could add that in new york even though the science, the cdc web site shows parity, the number of kids between ages five and 11 that have died from covid. it's on par with how many children we will lose every year from the f so it's very consistent. younger people are not beingve impacted but in new york city they will now force children to show a vaccine card to get into a restaurant or store. thoughts? >> absolute madness. i have a 7-year-old, i have an 11-year-o one of the most fortunate thing over the past couple of years i kids havemo mercifully been spa they are more likely to die of the seasonal flu but not just that, they are more likely to drown and die in a traffic accident than they are from covid and all of this is madnes jen psakivi actually came out a defended the idea of young kids having to eat outside in the bitter cold sometimes sitting i socially distanced areas outdoors when there's absolutel no science to support this at a and this is also a big point talking about big events going on in new york and the restrictions in california as well for big events, you know what dr. fauci said about southeastern conference footbal he said when college football started that covid was going to feast on all of the fans that were going to the tailgate going to games, crowding into bars an you know what happened? the overall covid rate collapsed and now all of the states that have the highestt rate of covid voted for joe biden, blue states. all of these restrictions masks, social distancing, the ideas that kids need to be vaccinated is not supported by science and it is the antithesis of science and the party of science like they claim to be is totally full of it. it's a joke. >> sean: theyey also said if we had football, it would be a disaster, everyone would be a super spreader event, that did not become the case. not at all, that's right. good point. they are wrong again. thank you. also tonight, more antics from the democrat sham january 6 committ we've been telling you this is waste of your time and money.it they have aa predetermined outcome and by the way, it lack outcome and, by the way, it breaking tonight, the committee voted to send out criminal contempt of congress resolution to the house for former white house chief of staff mark meadows for failing to comply with a sham subpoena documents he says are protected by executive privilege. that would need to be played out in courts we are now learning about an email from the former chief of staff that said the fco s p natl guard was on standby to protect "pro-trump people" and president trump requested increased national guard on the days leading up to january 6. the request was rejected. including by the capitol police chief. here with reaction, i read the book cover to cover, you've got to get a copy. it's an insider vw that actually is fair to donald trump, what a rarity. chief of staff mark meadows. first i will get your reaction to the january 6 vote 9-0 that it will now go before the house but we already know this is a predetermined outcome. didn't we learn that when they kicked jim jordan and jim banks off the co >> we did.or obviously it's dis but not surprising and let's be clear about this, this is not about me, holding me in contemp it's not even about making the capital safer. we've seen that by the selective leaks that are going on right now. this is about donald trump and about actually going after him once again continuing to go after donald trump and when we look at the real results of this investigation, it is notn really -- the foundation is not based on legislative purpose. >> sean: i am looking at the interpretation of this bias committee, liz cheney and compa love how she has partnered with the people that called her father a war criminal and a crook, amazing. and i'm looking at this committee and they are acting as though it is nefariou you have massive crowds coming to washington, we just came out of the summer of 2020 not investigating the 500 riots tha killed thousands of americans hurt thousands of cops, caused billions of property damage, li cheneyho and company have no interest in those riots, i condemn them all equally on thi but what i want to know is as i it's a bad thing after coming out of the summer of 2020 sayin okay there might be troublemakers here, we need to protect the capital. saying, okay, there might be troublemakers here, we need to protect the capital. you asked for it before the rally on january 6, the president asked for it, the capitol police chief asked for it and we now have reports of whistle-blowers telling us is national guard members they were told to stand down when they wanted to go in and stop the trouble. i don't hear them talking about that pa >> they want to talk about the part that fits their narrative and what we do know that in one of the things that is coming ou more and more clearly each and every day as everyone condemned what happened in terms of the breach of security on january know iswhat we also that president trump wanted to make sure that the people that came that there was a safe environment for that kind of assembly and i've said that publicly before, the 10,000nd national guard troops that he wanted to make sure that everything was safe and secure and the way that some of the democrats are spinning this trying to spend some nefarious purpose i think at the end of the day, they are going to find that not only did the president act, but he acted quickly and in doing all of that, it's important with this contempt vote that is coming out tomorrow, a very high probability that they will refe me for criminal contempt to doj >> sean: what will you do? >> at this point it will be turned over to the hands of doj. i can say that when you look at the criminal component of the intent, there's never been an intent on my part. i have tried to share o truly, the executive that donald trump has claimed i not mine to waiver congresses t wave and that's why we filed th lawsuit to hopefully get the courts to weigh in, hopefully they will weigh in. >> sean: before they did this to steve bannon, the last time they had done this was 1983. i notice they haven't been focused on president trump's actual words on the rally that day. many will now peacefully and patriotically march to the capital so your voices may be heard. i didn't hear it any of that many of you will march peacefully, not peac and not patriotically and invad the capital.l. the fact that thy are ignoring your request, they are ignoring the capitol police request earlier for support fro the national guard which is especially after the summer of 2020 is just good common sense smart policing. >> obviously, having those national guards available, the reason they were able to respond when they did was because president trump had actually put them on order. but i would also want to comment on one other thing. we look at senior officials chiefs of staff compelling them to come in and testify and what we are seeing now, there's lots of jurisprudence and legal opinions and the law that would suggest that that's not something that should be in the purview of congress so hopefully. >> sean: i've got a question. i said that day and i've said it now and i mean it, we are a country of law and order. we have to be. with that said i want to get to the bottom of it, i want to know why the guard was told to stand down, one. i want to know why your request, why president trump's request for the guard knowing what happened in the summer of 2020 was denied and i would like an answer to why we had 500 riots in the summer of 2020, dozens of w americans dea, thousands of cops injured, billions of dollars of property arson and looting, where's that i'd like to see that committee. >> that committee is not there and there is a political narrative that really focuses o donald trump as the 45th president of the united states and sadly when we look at whatt is to be accomplished, i'm not sure that this committee is set up to do that. >> sean: we appreciate it andt we will watch this very closely and coming up, biden's failed policies have created a labor shortage and stores areg beginning to reduce their hours as a result. dirty jobs host mike rowe is up next as we continue. mike rowe is up mike rowe is up next as we do you take aspirin?
