PETE: THANK YOU, RACHEL A
STUNNING REPORT FROM THE FBI
STUNNING NUMBER OF ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS TRIED TO BUY GUN
NOTICE UNITED STATES THIS
YEAR.
GRIFF: NEARLY 8 MILLION GUN
PURCHASES FROM ILLEGAL OR
UNLAWFUL ALIENS WERE
REJECTED BY THE NATIONAL
CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK
SYSTEM AND THAT'S JUST AS OF
NOVEMBER 30TH OF THIS YEAR.
RACHEL: JOINING US NOW WITH
HER REACTION IS FOX NATION
HOST TOMI LAHREN.
WELCOME, MERRY CHRISTMAS,
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
>> THANK YOU, GUYS.
RACHEL: REALLY QUICK THEN,
LET'S GET RIGHT TO THE
TOPIC.
WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS ON
THIS ISSUE, ESPECIALLY THIS
IS A GUN CONTROL ISSUE.
>> YEAH, USUALLY THEY ARE
THE FIRST ONES TO JUMP IN ON
ISSUES OF GUN CONTROL.
BUT AS I SEE TIME AND TIME
AGAIN, DEMOCRATS ARE MORE
CONCERNED WITH LIMITING THE
RIGHTS OF LAW ABIDING
AMERICANS THAN THEY ARE EVEN
OFFENDING ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS.
FURTHERMORE, I'M IN
CALIFORNIA.
I KNOW THE HEART BREAK THAT
OUR ENTIRE STATE AND THIS
ENTIRE COUNTRY FEELS AFTER
WATCHING ONE OF OUR POLICE
OFFICERS SHOT AND KILLED BY
AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT RIGHT
HERE IN THE STATE.
MANHUNT STILL GOING ON.
THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF
SOMEONE WHO HAD NO LEGAL
RIGHT TO BE HERE.
IMAGINE IF THE DEMOCRATS
CARED EVEN HALF AS MUCH
ABOUT SECURING THE BORDER AS
THEY DO ABOUT GUN CONTROL
MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THAT
WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED.
I'M STILL WAITING FOR NANCY
PELOSI AND SCHUMER TO TALK
ABOUT THIS ONE BECAUSE I
HEARD NOTHING AS OF YET.
GRIFF: TOMI, LET'S TALK
ABOUT THIS GUN.
THIS IS THE FBI BACKGROUND
CHECK WHY PEOPLE ARE
REJECTED TO PURCHASE
FIREARMS BUT WHEN YOU LOOK
AT THE NUMBERS, THE REASON
THAT PEOPLE WERE DENIED FOR
HAVING A CRIMINAL OFFENSE ON
YOUR RECORD IS ABOUT HALF OF
THE FACT THAT THEY WERE
ILLEGAL ALIENS.
RIGHT?
HAVE YOU ONLY GOT LESS THAN
4 MILLION THAT WERE
CRIMINALS.
BUT, YET, MORE THAN ALMOST
8 MILLION WERE ILLEGAL
ALIENS.
WHY AREN'T THE DEMOCRATS
TALKING ABOUT THAT?
WHY ISN'T THIS ISSUE BIGGER?
>> IT DOESN'T FIT THE
AGENDA.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION, WE TALK ABOUT
THOSE THAT HAVE NO LEGAL
RIGHT TO BE IN THIS COUNTRY
BUT ARE IN THIS COUNTRY.
THIS REALLY ISN'T AN ISSUE
OF GUNS OR BUYING GUNS.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO RIGHT
TO BE HERE IN THE FIRST
PLACE.
EVEN ONE OF THOSE ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS HAS ACCESS TO THE
GUN AND THEY SHOOT A POLICE
OFFICER.
THEY SHOOT SOMEONE LIKE KATE
STEINLE AN INNOCENT PERSON
IN SAN FRANCISCO.
THAT'S ONE TOO MANY.
WE NEED TO SECURE THE BORDER
FIRST AND FOREMOST BEFORE WE
EVEN TALK ABOUT GUN CONTROL
BECAUSE TRUTH IS IF THEY
WEREN'T IN THIS COUNTRY WE
WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
THAT ISSUE.
PETE: THEY EXPLAIN IT AWAY
WHICH ENABLES AT THE END OF
THE DAY.
SECOND STORY WANT TO GET
YOUR REACTION.
TO SAY THE PRESIDENT UNDER
THE COVER OF DARKNESS HEADED
OVER TO IRAQ TO VISIT THE
TROOPS.
AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, TOMI,
WHETHER HE DOES IT RIGHT OR
NOT, THE MEDIA IS GOING TO
COME AFTER HIM.
HERE'S HOW THEY REACT TO
PRESIDENT TRUMP SIGNING HALF
OF TROOPS THAT SUPPORT HIM.
>> WE SAW THE PRESIDENT
SIGNING A CAMPAIGN HAT, A
RED HAT.
HIS MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
HAT.
DOES THIS RUN THE RISK OF
THE PRESIDENT, YOU KNOW,
FACING SOME ACCUSATIONS THAT
HE IS TURNING SOME OF THIS
INTO A CAMPAIGN STOP?
>> THE PRESIDENT SEEMS TO
HAVE CONFUSED IN SOME WAY
THIS TROOP VISIT WITH A
CAMPAIGN RALLY.
PETE: YEAH, YOUR REACTION,
TOMI.
>> WELL, THE DEMOCRAT AND
THOSE ON THE LEFT HATE THE
FACT THAT OUR ARMED FORCES
LOVE THIS PRESIDENT.
AND IT ACTUALLY IS
INTERESTING IT TAKES THE
PRESIDENT TRAVELING TO IRAQ
TO VISIT THE TROOPS TO GET
THEM TO CARE ABOUT THE
TROOPS OR TALK ABOUT THE
MILITARY.
BUT, AT THE END OF THE DAY,
THEY CAN SQUAWK ALL THEY
WANT TO.
THE TROOPS LOVE THIS
PRESIDENT FOR A REASON.
AND HE SUPPORTS THEM EVERY
SINGLE DAY OF THE YEAR.
NOT JUST WHEN HE GOES OVER
FOR CHRISTMAS.
UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS
PRESIDENT WHO JUST USE THEM
FOR A PHOTO OP.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, THEY
KNOW WHO HAS THEIR BACK AND
THAT'S PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP.
PETE: I CAN TELL YOU HAVING
BEEN -- I HAVE NEVER BEEN
VISITED BY A PRESIDENT
OVERSEAS BUT TO KNOW THAT A
PRESIDENT IS ENGAGED IN AND
WANTS CLARITY IN YOUR
MISSION, I THINK A LOT OF
THE MEDIA THOUGHT OH, HE IS
PULLING OUT OF SYRIA THE
TROOPS AREN'T GOING TO LIKE
HIM.
THE TROOPS WANT TO KNOW WHAT
THEIR MISSION IS AND HAVE
THE ABILITY TO DO IT RIGHT.
ISIS WAS CRUSHED.
MAYBE OUR JOB IS DONE THERE.
MAYBE NOT.
DO YOU THINK HE WAS
SURPRISED THE WAY THE TROOPS
LOVE HIM.
>> IF THEY PAID MORE
ATTENTION TO THE MILITARY
THEY WOULD KNOW EXACTLY WHY
THE TROOPS LOVE PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
HE STANDS UP FOR THEM DAY IN
AND DAY OUT.
HE APPRECIATE THEM.
AS YOU SAID, HE RESPECTS
THEIR MISSION.
HE RESPECTS WHAT THEY PUT
THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE TO
DO.
IS HE GOING TO MAKE SURE
THEY ARE DOING IT TO PUT
THEIR FAMILY FIRST MY FAMILY
FIRST.
THEY KNOW THAT WITH THIS
PRESIDENT.
THAT'S WHY THEY LOVE HIM.
THE LEFT WILL NEVER
UNDERSTAND THAT.
THEY CAN'T SEE THROUGH THEIR
BLINDERS AND THEY NEVER
WILL.
GRIFF: YOU HAVE A MISSION
DELIVER THE BEST CAN YOU
THROUGH FOX NATION.
WE SEE IT RIGHT THERE.
PETE: WHAT TIME DOES
EVERYONE SEE FIRST THOUGHTS
AND FINAL THOUGHTS.
>> 9:30 A.M. YOUR TIME AND
