LAWRENCE JONES (CO-HOST): We know what was happening with ISIS when he was in office, they were on the run, he destroyed them. Right now, it looks like they are emerging stronger and we have no response right now, Rachel.
RACHEL CAMPOS-DUFFY (FOX NEWS HOST): Yeah, our foreign policy is also dysfunctional. Just think about it, we are still funding the Taliban through NGOs in Afghanistan. We are funding Islamist rebels in Syria, and what we need to do is focus on security here at home. For me Lawrence, it's really personal. Donald Trump is about to assume office January 20. I am bringing my family, my children, over to the inauguration because as you know, Sean is nominated to be Secretary of Transportation. And we have an FBI, a DOD, and a Homeland Security that has given us zero confidence. They've said nothing with a border open and terrorists flowing over the borders. They've been directing agents to go after political dissidents from J6, from January 6, instead of going after terrorists. We know that within the military, they were flagging Pete Hegseth as a white supremacist because of a tattoo.
JONES: The ultimate patriot.
RACHEL CAMPOS-DUFFY: And meanwhile, we have this guy who was a veteran who turned to ISIS. So, this so dysfunctional. And right now, you know Lawrence, Donald Trump and senators are calling for Donald Trump's national security team, Tulsi, Pete Hegseth -- Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth, and Kash Patel to be confirmed immediately because they don't trust this current administration's FBI, DOD, and Homeland Security, and I don't blame them. Lawrence, we still don't know about the two people that tried to assassinate Donald Trump this summer. We know nothing about this situation. These are not crimes that have been solved. And yet I'm supposed to feel OK taking my kids to an inauguration on January 20 with this team in place for national security? It is a joke.
