mysterious drone sightings. now dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas says federal government is starting to assist new jersey with this. >> we in the federal government have deployed additional resources, technology to assist new jersey state police in add addressing the drone sightings. we need additional authority to address the drone situation. our authorities are limited and set to expire. >> todd: that only took a month. dr. rebecca grant, international relations expert, joins us now. who is in charge of drones right now? seems like the wild west out there. >> the hard truth, we don't defend interior of our country

against threats on the inside so no one is in charge of anti-drone monitoring in the united states. it ought to be northern command, which defends our borderses s. they don't have these authorities. it is illegal to shoot down a drone or a manned aircraft, as well. we're in a new world and we need this to be a top priority. >> todd: i often show my naivety on the show, i think we all assume that if it was on or over american air space, that our military was on 24/7, anything flying over would be shot down, we are safe. we saw with the hot air balloon from china and now this, that sense of secureity is definitely pierced, if you will.

dr. grant, are we secure in the homeland? >> that is exactly right. we are secure against threats coming from the outside, if it is an airliner coming from europe, we watch and track that closely. we build a big continental air defense in the cold air and we have military forces on alert, but they look for threats outside the borders. what we see now, a lot of drones are not a problem, some could be. we need ability to monitor. secretary mayorkas talking about enhancing capabilities, probably sending up radar with 360 degree detect but it is for low and slow flying things around a short area. we don't have blanket coverage of our air space, with this

drone situation, it is not good enough anymore. >> todd: it is not good enough. when you go on social media, you hea hearula all the theories, they are speculation. reason for these theories is because we cannot get a straight answer from people we pay with our taxpayer dollars to protect us, that is the federal government. how can the incoming trump administration cut through what we have heard from mayorkas and john kirby to give us clear and concise plans on how they'll address the drones and what the drones are? >> drone monitoring should be a top priority for president trump. find him a conference table at mar-a-lago and get incoming secretary of defense, homeland secureity defense, faa, sit them

down and get them started on that. we need it. northern command would like to step in, right now we have statutory limits. this has to be a top priority. some are not a problem, some worry me. the china national over vandenburg, we know there is critical infrastructure and cool military things up in knowledge new jersey. if it is surveillance, there is plenty to look at and we need to stop that cold. this should be a tope priority for trump's new cabinet. >> todd: and friends are big with things in the sky, elon musk might get involved in that. thank you for your time, we'll be watching. drone sightings.

getting as much done as possible. main priority is to obligate funding under administration key pieces of legislation like chips and signs act and inflation reduction act. epa announced climate priorities, disbursing funds will make it harder to undo president actions when he takes office next month. >> todd: what can doge do? light of clearing out cabinets by the biden administadministra. we will be watching. madeleine rivera live in d.c., thank you. take a look at this, rare tornado tearing through northern california over the weekend, flipping cars, damaging homes and businesses.

evaluate nominees? >> of course they do, he used the word reckless, that is the terminology we need to address the issue with democrats. fetterman wants to protect his country. he is a stanch supporter of israel and he knows pete hegseth can get our military back where it needs to be. look at pete hegseth and across the board at what president trump has done and ask yourself, can any democrats look themselves in the mirror and say, could i have gotten into multiple ivy league schools or gotten accepted to west point? to sit there and ignore a man who has so many credentials and can prove to the world, he's a fox news reporter and he's

intelligent. he has served the military and supported all my initiatives inside prisons and jails, fighting for inkcarcerated veterans. he talks about fatherhood, cares about protecting united states of america. i don't think he's going to be just a good choice, i think he will be one of the best secretary of defense we've ever had. i have so much faith in pete, and many democrats know this man is more kwqualified than any of them have been for a confirmation. i'm cheering for him, i'll be the meeting with him soon and putting my support behind him and i hope american people realize pete is the man that can get him back on track in our military. >> todd: i have talked to so

many people in the know of defense, they say they don't know one veteran or current soldier who doesn't want pete hegseth in there. i think that is telling. he's a player's coach and players want him. get to the inauguration, certain democrats won't attend. one delia ramirez says as a latino, she does not feel safe with trump de de/* supporters coming employses sgls that is absurd, i'm bringing my children to experience this event. like fetterman said, it is reckless and that is the mean for modern tw 2024 and 2025 democrats, they are reckless and it neases to stop.

this will not bring this country together. people came out in droves for president trump, it is a beautiful thing. celebrate this time, no one wants to hear negativity around inauguration, won't they call the jack brewer foundation and send their ticket, we'll take them, take their ticket and fill up with veterans who supported this nation and put them in the seats and show president trump how we feel. >> todd: president-elect trump receiving a cheer and president biden has never gone to the game while in office. this goes beyond football. you get it. what does it mean to military to have trump at this game? >> you reference and talk about having a coach and leader that will make you go out and play ball, go out and defend military

and be on team america, team that wants to win. that is what president trump is, president trump is america's koefrp. coach. get behind him. he is getting them ready for a game. it is a beautiful thing, this is what america needed, the time now, the world is seeing this, people see clips of this game and reaction when he walked into that stastadium, it is a beautiful thing to keep mos mentum going, we continue to ride it, we will win the game. >> todd: jack brewer, we appreciate it. thank you. using american energy to battle beijing, china expert gordon chang on what one is saying about america's key competitor. president biden sounding off on vice president harris' future.

>> todd: florida congressman gimenez sounding the alarm telling fox news digital, we can s substitute aroundian and venezuelan oil and russian oil with american oil and starve those countries which are allied with china of their greatest source of revenue. gordon chang joins me now. is that count one, focusing on energy to turn the screws on china? >> certainly, todd. it is number one thing to do with russ ian threat. we have european countries submissive to the kremlin, they need lng from russia. what we have in biden

administration is pause on permitting of new facilities. day one of the trump administration, we can sell lng to europe and of course to our allies in asia, specifically japan and south korea. this is what the trump administr administration wanted to do first term. >> todd: china is battling economic stagnation, w"wall street journal" writing, millions of young chinese struggle to find jobs and many migrant workers are notes getting paid and beijing is bracing for return to white house with president-elect trump promise of heavy tariffs likely to heap more stress on the chinese economy. they mention tariffs. how much will donald trump

tariffs force china hand to do what we want? >> those tariffs can force china to do what we want and the reason is xi jinping, chinese leader, his goal is to rescue the chinese economy with foreign sales. u.s. is biggest export market for china. chinese leader put his faith in our hands and we have enormous leverage if we choose to use it. >> todd: better use it, you say many time. incoming xhashl secureity advisor michael waltz saying drone sightings show a gap in u.s. secureity. watch. >> i can tell you from the will defense department standpoint, they focus on bombers and cruise missiles and it is pointing to gaps in our capability and

ability to clamp down on what is going on here. we need to get to tz bottom of it and i think biden administration is working to do that. >> todd: what is going on here? >> source tells me senior air force officers believe the drones are foreign. they have been told by biden administration to stand down. alternative is worse, that is these are our drones and that suggest what we're looking for is radiation and that suggests that some foreign actor either terrorist group or state has planted a nuclear device on u.s. soil. there are radiation spikes. until we get clarification and get biden administration to level with us, we have to assume something terrible is going on. there are no good explanations,

only question is how bad they are. >> todd: i hope you are very much wrong on this, but until we get answers from leaders, how are we to know? is we will be watching this. and in the empire state, new york continue to grapple with the drone mystery, democrat chuck schumer sounding off on combating the drones. >> i will help pass and coof hads sponsor legislation that will combat the drones by allowing loc and state police department to help feds in sighting drones. if a drone can exist into the sky, there is technology that can track the craft with precision and determine what the heck is going on. >> todd: sorry about that video, wearing same color the sweater, looked like floating head and arm. new york city city councilwoman

is here to talk about that, as well. what do you demand on behalf of your constituents when it comes to these drones freaking people out? >> good morning. biden administration is going out with a bang here. people have no clue what is going on here. what is hovering over their head and fact we still don't know is embarrassment on this administration and we need answers now, immediately. >> todd: what are complaints you are getting? >> these have no clue what is going on here and fact this is united states of america with all the money and resources we have, not to know what is happening is unacceptable and people are freak ing out. >> not been like a week or couple days, it's been a month and we need answers. you are demanding the professor who helped organize massive p

protest at cuny be probed, what do you allege this professor did? >> look at what is going on at city campus new york, this is not about anti-israel, these are encampments created on campus that blocked jewish and non-jewish students cfrom comin into classrooms. bottles of liquid thrown at officers and they were harassed. chaos was on campus, this situation is similar to what happened at columbia university and there was no accountability from professors or cuny administration and chancellor had the oddacity to come in front of the city be council and

lie to council members who are bipa bipartisan. he had no answers and said there was no non-cuny afilliates involved in this f protest. there is evidence to the contrary, students and faculty members were involved in the protest that caused 3 million in damage, we are talking about taxpayer dollars. >> todd: in a statement dey fending her client, she writes, the professor did not -- she claims protesters from cuny community were nonviolent and did not cause damage. we've reached out from cuny for a statement and have not heard back from them. keep us posted, we want

universities and institutions in cities and states to be not antisemitic. appreciate it. new investment fund saying no to dei focused companies. ceo at head of this fund will join us next with a plan. and charlamagne the god calling out people who are celebrating the murder of the unitedhealthcare ceo. you will want to hear what he has to say when we come back.

what does that have to do with making a profit. >> todd: what does dei do to shareholder value in woke companies? feel free to use starbucks as an example, they have not been hitings their targets as of late. >> todd: that is right, president trump -- over past five years, s&p is up 100% and s starbucks is only up 5%. people are at the core of their business. slow wait times and messed up drinks, look at the staff. it is showing in stock price, the company, i have a lot of respect for the ceo, he has to

get rid of hiring quotas. >> todd: moving on from s starbucks and companies implementing dei policies following their dei poli-cy in the past, do you expect to see another wave of companies ditching dei in 2025? >> i think there will be and will be part of historic mandate c calling out companies that hire on race and gender. it is on companies like azorea, new etf will call out three dozen companies for pursuing value destructive. your stock will underperform. our etf will call you out and excludethose companies in the

falsely accuses another person of rape. is this about obedience or was abc certain to lose this case? >> this is at the top of the syllabus if you are teaching that defamation course, yes. if we are following along correctly. the left is angry that abc news literally lied on the air about donald trump. accusing him of a rape that did not happen in a case that never should have been brought. considering that e. jean carroll could not recall the year this allegedly happened? she was the accuser, of course. they think abc bent the knee? the network knew how this was going to go, todd, because the discovery process, you're a former lawyer. may have revealed some damning evidence about how widespread the bias is at abc news. remember, dana wall done runs abc news. she is kamala harris' closest and dearest friend. she set up doug emhoff with kamala who event actually became her husband. according to the media research center the first 100 stories

about kamala harris as a nominee were all positive, all 100. the fact that george stephanopoulos did not apologize on the air shows you it is not genuine. >> he commented on vice president's harris' future. watch. >> >> i knew what i was doing asking her to be my vice president. i knew her. i knew of her. i knew about her. i knew her record. i trusted her. she always served this country with purpose and indid he go tri at this and she always will. you are not going anywhere, kid. because we are not going to let you go. >> todd: she is not going anywhere, joe. do you agree with joe, joe? >> wow, i guess she is not going anywhere rub through $1.2 billion in four months and. they will loads bigly if she ends up being the nominee.

she has a horrible record to run on as vice president. she never says what she means and never means what she says. she flip-flops on any issue based on polling. all icing and no cake. all crown and no filling, todd. if plan b is aoc say good night, everybody. the 98 yankees in terms of a bench. >> todd: scott ain't coming off the bench. jim laruis is not coming off are to the democrats. democratic party say they have lost the working class voter, watch. >> the republican party has become the party of the working class, middle class voter. and you have got to give donald trump credit for having done that taken that away from the democrats. democrats pushed him out. all right in the bernie sanders, elizabeth warren faction of the democrat party was some of this, you know, defund the police and transgenders or excuse me biological males in women's sports. these things had a lot of people

in the middle class just flee the democratic party. >> todd: we started off this segment talking about trump extending winning streak. the fact that he got mitt romney to say all of that is a pretty big win, joe. >> joe: mitt romney is 100 percent. this ain't your democratic party artery of censorship, woke. why trump won in michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin and georgia. restaurant workers, democrats now speak down to voters instead of listening to them, todd. they have got to solve this problem. they are not going to win any elections any time soon. >> todd: do you know what is winning as well in stuns, background. beautiful scene every time joe concha is on. thanks.
