"the washington post" today talking about this idea of being discussed of the border welcoming centers sort of where people will get processed. the model would allow migrant families to remain together in nonsetting with assess to programming, legal counsel and silent seekers with reception center is technically detained but they have sites to comply with the adjudication process, your thoughts, congressman. >> will, it is completely absur. this is the biden administration solution and kamala harris sent to central america to talk to them once and come back to the united states and have no actual solution for the border. the result is we have 51 dead migrants and a vehicle overturned with two dead american citizens because we have an american citizen cartel tea bowling and killing two american citizens. we have 600,000 getaways. and secretary, the lies of the border secure, texans getting decimated, migrants dying and the border secure but meanwhile the entire estate of vermont's population has come to the united states and much less than $2 million. the biden administration is completely awol. if you want to do worse and actually do worse than what president biden is doing i don't know whether it is crime, order, inflation, whatever the issue is committed as record levels of misery for the united states of america and the american people counting down the days of business administration and democratic majority in the hells. >> shannon: quickly on the border, leslie, and i want to get to other topics as well. we are not welcoming people here and this is not the way it works but when we talk about something like this, it sounds a little bit like a magnitude drawing people on these dangerous journeys. >> this is the problem and the congressman knows this better than i not a democrat or republican or the last administration. this goes back 17-20 plus years now. we have a problem with immigration because we don't have a comprehensive immigration reform package with bipartisan agreement. there are two things that have to be done, one should not have to come to the united states united states for asylum. we have embassies overseas. that is one of the problems, two, we have the law in our system the backlog we don't have the money, the judges, the resources to handle the backlog for the people coming in. those are two problems the top of the iceberg that i see would be much better than walls or centers or the political fighting, which is very successful quite frankly when you have midterm general election coming up, but it doesn't do much for the people that are trying to come here. i will add one-third quickly, we don't have anything stopping the carrot daimler's and those are the employers that say i've got a job for you. a lot of these people need jobs. they want jobs and they want safety and security that the united states need for them to their home country. >> shannon: a lot of them are taken dangerous journeys and exploited along the way if they make it to get here. i want to ask about the economy of the surge, 9.6% in november and a graphic to show you what that looks like. it is the biggest gain on record. what do we do, congressman? >> well, first of all you have to stop spending money. and i know that is heretical to say in the nation's capital. we voted on another $2.5 trillion. i voted no and everybody watching to see that, but we've got to stop spending money we don't have. it is absolutely absurd. there should be a bipartisan agreement. you can't keep printing money and not expected to have significant negative consequence on the economy. we are struggling the greatest economy in the world. and both parties have been absolutely garbage when it comes to spending restraint. but right now the democrats are in charge of all three house, senate, white house. they are sending a massive spending bill all the way back to the spring. they want to build back better nonsense to jam more spending. that is an absolute consequent and you cannot deny this administration being in power ae inflation because you don't trillions of dollars in the economy irresponsibly. it's hard to get away from the packets on the ground. >> shannon: 179 yes, 183 no, but a lot of folks haven't voted and don't ask me to do the math 135 members. it is expected because you guys are outnumbered congressman and will pass. and the votes coming in one by one pretty quickly now but "the wall street journal" has an opinion piece the mounting regulatory biden executive order is is regulators open hostility towards american and antitrust enforcement to stifle growth. all with the current inflation into stagflation. leslie, people across the political spectrum so you can't use transitory when it comes to inflation. >> i don't think it is about the word but about facts. the congressman said, you know, this administration and that is no surprise but my miniature husky dog apollo i will put in the white house and after pandemic that we are still in you would have inflation. and that is not me talking. that is nobel prize-winning economist that are talking. they may not use that word and some of them may have. that is a fact. we will have inflation. it will be temporary just like anything. if you look at politics or the economy in our country or world wide it is cyclical, historical and all we have to do is go back and look at the demographic to look at the up and down. we don't like obviously when inflation is going up at the pandemic behind us and when it to build back better i wrote a great piece to fox news that i hope the congressman reads that highlights how the people that really you're hurting the country would benefit by it. that is why they are in favor of it. >> shannon: someone not convinced this joe manchin. he is worried about inflation and the price tag of this whole thing. he has to be convinced before this goes anywhere in washington. so we will continue to watch the debt ceiling again. congressman thank you for making it off the floor to join me and leslie, thank you both. >> god bless, merry christmas. >> shannon: you also so pure it may fill gathering

ground will take your breath away. >> a ray of hope despite pierce dozens killed ma feels decimated factory and rescuers do not believe anyone was left buried inside. >> we have a high level of confidence. >> president biden included illinois and tennessee and the federal disaster declaration making available federal resources and funds just like tennessee. that undoubtably will be included

>> let's be clear. the only thing offensive here woke or not is i think you hold this position and you know i love it but diehard is not the best christmas movie. and actually in reality not the best christmas movie. this is a exercise of victimhood. no one is offended by christmas whereby christmas movies, tv shows, songs or anything. they are pretending to be offended because it allows them to play both victim and hero. victim of pretending against them and a hero for speaking up against it. this is narcissism and action so basically to just buy overwrought social media post. they end up writing about their fight for tolerance. it is all contrast. >> shannon: all right we will put you down for not buying it and watch all the movies. we also watch this a headline out of california several large school districts will say teachers cannot give d or f grades anymore. from the daily mail it will help black latino and lower income students disproportionately affected by the pandemic of people to school routines. a quick word on no ds nofs. >> as soon as black and latino kids cannot learn the material but kids don't have to worry about consequences for failure which makes kids rather soft. it gets this expectation they will get endless chances which weirdly is the democratic mayor of prosecutor position when it comes to crime. i think we need to start rejecting this. it is okay to fail so long as you are learning from it. so getting rid of the ds and fs and get to the kids that aren't learning the material the way that you would like them too. but in the effort and stop accepting mediocrity. they are not best served in the world. >> shannon: your boss will not clear you if something fails. listen, my mom was a teacher and if i would have shown up with a d or f i would not see my birthday. that is how outlawed. great to see you, jason rantz, thank you so much. >> merry christmas. >> shannon: q wealth muscle. pulling resources to give a waitress and coworker $4,400 tip, but she says the restaurant later fired her. there is a dispute about why. is this legal?

>> it goes away, loopholes and stuff of that you should not be knowing it will go away. >> shannon: merry christmas and thank you both very much. >> good to see you. >> merry christmas shannon and harry. >> shannon: the frigid waters of the maryland lake caught on tape. the corporal sanchez sr. deputy tatum and corporate frederick being called heroes after pulling a woman from a frigid creek after her car rolled in and originally showed up the car was partially submerged and wound up fully under water. the woman jumped out of the car into the freezing waters and the sheriff's department quickly weighed in and got her to those great and brave efforts and they are tonight's midnight heroes. >> impressive. just saying i love you and just not enough. and certainly not enough when it came to lisa james' oldest child trying to go back to college. he couldn't leave without letting his little brother know how much he adores him and how much he would miss him. this cute little baby. totally focused on his next but the moment he were those three words: nothing else matters. bye-bye and i love you. they went back and forth, they would say bye-bye i love you and the baby would say i love you. very adorable. and that is what we should all hope for in our lives, somebody to say "i love you and i miss you too." >> shannon: you have brothers? >> i do. >> we just punch each other. they when i have brothers so i know what you mean. thank you very much. that is it for us from washington, busy news night and we will see you tomorrow. i am shannon bream. frequent heartburn?
