Summary

National security remains a hot topic, with heightened fears that terrorists are entering the United States through the southern border. In fiscal year 2023, over 150 non-U.S. citizens on the terrorist watchlist were encountered at the southern border. U.S. border patrol agents have found it increasingly difficult to vet every individual entering the country. Former Acting United States Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf shares why he refers to the crisis as an invasion and why the Biden administration needs to be held accountable for the vast number of migrants entering the nation every day. President Joe Biden is breaking centuries' tradition by not filing for the New Hampshire Democratic primary. The decision came Tuesday with the president citing the Democratic National Committee's pledge to discipline candidates who compete in unsanctioned primaries, such as the one in the Granite State. The DNC approved a new calendar proposed by President Biden earlier this year that moves South Carolina's primary to February, seeking to bump New Hampshire from its first-in-the-nation status. FOX's New Hampshire-based national political reporter, Paul Steinhauser, explains the president's decision and discusses Congressman Dean Phillips's (D-MN) presidential campaign announcement.

0:34.6	New Hampshire's fighting back and so is a member of the president's own party, who's
0:38.0	now announced a primary challenge against him.
0:40.1	You know, I think some Democrats in the state will actually embrace Phillips and they're
0:44.0	glad that he's here campaigning.
0:45.4	Even if they're supporters of the president, president is partially responsible for this
