you know what's interesting these days? bitcoin. look for bitwise, my friends. larry: the houthis are hueys ard they're striking back with liz macdonald. our best weapon.

elizabeth: we've got breaking news and take you to iowa and president trump and nikki haley and they're on the campaign in iowa and really campaigning and going at it and getting to fox news to america meredith in iowa. what's going on? reporter: liz, you're right. all the can dates are in iowa -- candidates in iowa this week trying to get their message out before people tune out before the holidays and people are wrapping up and former un ambassador nikki haley talking in a town hall-style format and voters are asking her questions and the number of questions she got were more on january f than about the economy. however, in her remarks, she also issued a sort of fresh new attack on former president trump who will be here in iowa. here's what haley had to say moments ago. >> rightly or wrongly, chaos

follows him. you know i'm right, chaos follows him. we can't have a country in disarray and world on fire going through four more years of chaos. reporter: they're focused on iowa and surge in new hampshire and haley got endorsement of governor chris sununu and a trump super pack launching new tv ads today in new hampshire and accusing haley of supporting a higher gas tax and she said it's lies and she's pushing bang against it. trump is in waterloo, iowa, in a few hours and andy barr of kentucky backing trump's campaign and with the way things are going, trump campaign is confident they've got a official quoted broiderers saying the campaign believes it could be mathematically wrapping up this entire thing as early as march 12 when voters in washington state, georgia and a

slew of other states go to the polls. now, florida governor ron desantis of course still very much in this race, especially here in iowa and betting big on this state and he's counting on the biggest surrogate here, governor of kim reynolds to bring out the vote. just today, liz, desantis had to defend reynolds from attacks from trump. >> with trump, it's all about if you kiss the ring, he's attacked governor reynolds because she's supporting me and chip because she's supporting me, even though they've done really, really good work. reporter: that's one thing we've heard from the governor he's going to focus on the message as opposed to the attacks and at the rally in waterloo, you can imagine what the former president will have to say. he lost in 2016 but the campaign has been taking steps to make sure that doesn't happen this time around and as we've seen right here, voters are listening but will it change the polls?

elizabeth: mark, we'll come back and thank you, mark meredith. back to you with any trump news. thank you. now, we've got breaking news and former acting director dhs sec fair chad woman and have more news coming in. chad wolf and appeals court blocked the biden white house for removing razor wire barriers at texas border eagle pass and the thing, chad, the court is ruling that texas has sovereign immunity here. that's the big fight now over texas' new border security law tightening security at the boarder and it's the state's right fight and the supreme court said the federal government has jurisdictions here and, chad, the biden white house has been accused of breaking border laws right and left and that's the issue and

>> that's right and issue at stake here when the federal government refuses to do their job and governor abbott and others taking new measures and dramatic measures to protect their communities and enforce border security along that border where it previously and historically have to the had to do that because the federal government would do its job and we've seen under the biden administration they just refused to implement immigration law and border security and back and forth in court and governor abbott does more than historical and the federal government saying no, no, no, it's a federal responsibility. elizabeth: they're not backing up their own federal responsibility and that's the supreme court fight. if it goes there.

eric adams saying the white house is derelict in the duty and gop governor of texas greg abbott said the president bi biden's quote greg abbott giving texas no choice but to fend for itself and aclu, chad and white house attacking the new texas law that increases border security to keep communities safer. let's show the viewer what the law does. what the biden white house is saying basically it's saying this law will make texans and americans less safe it's not who we are as a nation. chad, what do you think of those comment s? >> this administration has no leg to stand on and no credibility to make those types of statements and throwing out phrases like honor or values but the values that the biden

administration and their immigration policy is completely backwards. they basically are advertising anyone and anyone -- anyone and everyone ping to come to the unit regardless of merit and asylum claim or not. you're entitled to come to the unit and then when you get here, we shouldn't remove you. these are the types of values they've built a three year strategy around and a failed one by any measure or metric and every day is worse that afternoon the last. we continue to have historic days of this illegal immigration and time, day after day after day and they're on the wrong side of this and majority of americans know this and you've indicated you've got blue city majors and governors saying we'ren o the wrong side of this. elizabeth: texas state governors saying enforcement taking place in border state neighborhoods and running into the ground and they're not r rounding up everye

here and sending them back. now they're approaching 1400 all in terrorists on the watch list and more than 52,000 illegal aliens crossing and rapers, drug traffickers and human traffickers. why does it feel like everything this white house touches, this president touches, turns into a free for all. the botched afghanistan exit and board service connected in chaos and trillions thrown at covid and infrastructure and green energy spending with record fraud and abuse and the biden family corruption scandals and white house can't throw more at the border problem. he did hundreds of executive actions outside of congress, many of them weakening the border security. why doesn't the president just take his pen, his own executive pen and reverse the policies he put in place on his own and he collapsed the boarder and this is collapsing his poll numbers.

>> you're right on all those frohns and it's interesting timing because the white house and some democrats are now saying, hey, we need a -- we need border security legislation, where have they been for the last three years and i would say now they only want to try and address this issue. they don't want to solve but astress and want more ukraine funding and coming into an election year. otherwise there's no reason why they haven't taken their own action over the last three years to solve the crisis and they have the authority and they refuse to use it. elizabeth: yeah, he broke it, he owns it; right? that's it. chad wolf, thank you. good to see you. joining us now is executive editor of common sense society is chris bedford and hill political reporter julie manchester. we love you guys and are fired up over this. more news coming, first to you, julia.

elizabeth: that's alarm inside the white house and axios saying biden insiders are tooled to run and president biden is in denial about that . what do you think about that, julia? >> biden's handout ling of the economy and situation at southern boarder and independents and republicans hitting back on him on the issues and that's being re-flecked in the polls and there's also a lot of discontent within the democratic party itself. the generational divide among the more established moderate democrats and progressives. do you see that divide over biden's age wanting someone younger and fresher to lead the party but also over the war in

ziti reel and gaza and you have a lot of progressives and younger democrats and think biden has taken too harsh of a stance in that war and they want him to play more sympathetic toward the palestinians in that war. i think those attitudes are being reflected in the polls and he's really having this bad news in the polls coming at him from all sides. elizabeth: new poll out of new york types sienna and delivering this from the biden team and trump, former president trump leads president biden with young voters age 18-29 and leads them. trump leading over biden. robert gibbs saying biden needs to pivot to attacking tram and will focus off a country struggling with inflation and major democrat donors are saying why are you campaigning on bidenomics and it's now in just

as bad odor and gerald ford's whip and save with gerald hoover. >> how to poll the american people and the results that are uniform or these are cause for the four alarm fire and a total panic. the president struggling to try and convince people on his age and foreign policy and convince peopling on economic record and they're just not buying it. it's causing contranation with former obama-back and anger in the white house between the president and the president's age. i think it's worth him worrying but republicans ought to keep being weary as well f. you see this kind of polling collapse in the weeks before an election and spells big trouble for the incumbent, there's enough time for the democratic coalition to pull back together and like you said, try to bring it against trump. elizabeth: but, chris, based on

what? >> trump. elizabeth: got that. jewel jaire, here's why -- julia, here's why people are upset. like everything the president touches turns into a free for all. we came out of a botched pandemic and those botched lockdowns through 22 million out of work and destroyed small businesses, biden threw trillions of hot money into a locked down economy and ignited historic inflation and put mandates on electric vehicles and vaccines on a reeling economy. trying to push the u.s. to go all electric and went after u.s. oil and gas and then he denied and declared as go political successes the botched exit out of afghanistan and he's messing up the middle east appeasing iran. >> yeah, look, it's a difficult position for the president to be in right now particularly when it comes to the economy and we've seen small gains in the stock market and the biden campaign is trying to seize on

right now but chris is right and there's a lot of time between now and november of 2024 and there's so many factors tat play and seems that trump is the front runner and we don't know who the republican nominee is and in new hampshire, you're seeing nikki haley gain some real steam and really get up on trump's heels and within his legal issues and other outside factors, i think we can't, it's hard to predict really how this is going to end up. 11 months out. elizabeth: got t thank you for joining us tonight. merry christmas, happy holidays to all. thank you so much. tonight we have a rock star show for you, senator ron johnson and deputy attorney john you and pa --yoo and a bell weather cast

elizabeth: houthis will not stop attacking commercial shipping in the red sea despite the task force involving nine nations and could impact the think and supply chain and drive inflation higher. edward lawrence is breaking news on this very important story.

edward lawrence is live at the white house with more. what's going on now? reporter: this comes 70 dais after the first attack on chips in the red sea and the white house is dubbing this or the administration dubbing this operation prosperity guardian. now, 10 country-specifics triple-demics, united states and nine others patrolling the red sea with warships to protect commercial vehicles and the idea is the show of force getting the houthis to stop attacking. >> in general, this is why we set up the task force and it's clear the houthis are at the very least conduct ago concerted effort to go after merchant shipping in the red sea. there are inter-fashional security interests playing in the red sea and we take the responsibility seriously and we'll do what we can to protect them. them. reporter: a houthi spokesperson saying they're not going to stop

attacking ships regardless of who's patrolling and look at time to reroute goods and industry expert said there could be a 50% reduction in the supply of shipping and china to new york that took 50 days will now take 90 days to go around af africa. >> now having to reroute the vessels through the cape is now another 20 or 30% longer transit time and obviously that means higher cost of operating these vessels, longer transit times. reporter: yeah, the ships are not able to reload quickly to make that return trip so so far we have not seen any supply chain snarls, but this rerouteing, well it started this week. laback to you, liz. elizabeth: edward, let me come back to you, talking tonnage of oil and gas that goes through the red sea straight and cargo and imports from the far east. couldn't that lead to shortages down the road? i hate to be dire but this

doesn't sound good at all. reporter: absolutely. 10-15% of global trade goes through the red sea and that's $1.5 trillions to put that into perspective there but, yes, this could absolutely charles supply chains and no indication that's apping as of yet but this is sort of that slow moving train going into an accident because what's left port now will have to be rerouted and and nothing to make up for that difference so there could be a shortage coming in the next 15-30 days, we just don't know at this point. >> edward, great your honorrism as awes. get out of the cold, my friend. joining us now, bring in former national security adviser to mike pence, retired general keith kellogg. general, good to see you again. when you hear the houthis are saying we're going to attack commercial ships in the red sea still. this biden white house new task force with nine nations are not

going to stop us. what's your biggest concern here? >> well, thanks, liz, for having me today. the individual before you broke it down on economics. very important how much traffic goes through the red sea, about $9 billion a day, 12% commerce, that you're seeing and what the houthis are doing and they're a proxy of iran is clearly in violation of the national law and navigation of the merri bowl time laws on the red sea. we said we're going to stand up an operation called pro prosper guardian and we stood up a task force two years ago? bahrain and they were supposed to be making sure it didn't happen and now it's hatching and all the major shipping lines all move them out going around africa and around the cape of good hope and the comment was made about the amount of traffic and time it's going to take plus

the cost. they're gone no raise costs alon and my concern about the task force and it's an illusion and put all the ships you want there and enormous capacity on the seas but most of the thins happening are coming from the land, not from the sea. those missiles the houthis are using are coming off the ground target. what do you do? lloyd austin, what are you doing to respond to this? you have to respond. the houthis are very clear. they said, fine, we're going to keep attacking you. elizabeth: shouldn't they be instead of defensive posture and offensive posture, these nine nations, should they be taking out the drone sites, missile lawn cheryl: congressman pads -- launcher pads and offensive posture and shut it down instead of defensive waiting for a drone to really hurt a cash

geopolitical chipping company. >> you're exactly right. look the task force and all the ships we have and load of 600 tom hack attacking missiles and use them and take out target after target after target and they need the will to do it. hay meaning the united states and biden administration. my concern, liz, is they don't have the will to do it. it'll take a hard, hard effort to do and that i need to do this or the houthis keep shooting. if you do not respond with a hard hit, militarily, they're going to keep shooting. and eventually it's going to be a lake there, the red sea will not be a sea, it'll be a lake of empty ships. elizabeth: houthi, are going to turn the area into a cemetery and turning into a shipping companies and transponders not getting picked up by the houthis and this looks like it's about, let me count it, the sixth, no. 6 geopolitical crisis and has legs and this is a story

with the houthis and blowing up and getting worse. we're counting afghanistan and ukraine war with russia and the fight with israel and shy that spy balloon and houthis and six geopolitical crisis and the white house is contending with. jowski this is the most dangerous i've seen the world in my lifetime and all the events coming together and it's become so dangerous, liz, is because of the lack of response of the united states as the world leader, we keep saying well, hopefully if we keep avoiding and not doing anything, it'll go away. no, it's not, you're inviting aggressors to become more aggressive and it's happening and they'll have to respond quite forcefully and the longer it goes, heavier response has to be. it's just a matter of time and it's an illusion and no plan to

do anything so it's an illusion of hope and a plan and i just don't think they'll do much. elizabeth: got t thank you to junior service to america and joining us. happy holidays and good to see you again. we've got news coming in and bell weather case, it's a game changer and appeals court took on a major case in kentucky. again, a game changer in the fight over biological males in women's sports. now, u.s. attorneys here in the united states, these attorneys in the private sector are warning that president biden's title 9 changes are reversing nearly 50 years of advancement for women athletes. coming up, we've got senator ron johnson from senate finance and he's led the charge and senator chuck grassley and house impeachment managers investigating biden family corruption allegations. we're taking on new developments in the house impeachment inquiry involving the president's brother, james biden. it's coming up on "the evening edit".

elizabeth: senator ron johnson joining us now. good to see you tonight. we appreciate you coming on. >> merry christmas. elizabeth: same to you. this news is coming in out of the house impeachment inquiry into the president. it's again undercutting the white house defense. the white house defense is there's no smoking gun and link in the profiting and biden white houssaying these are all loan repayments between the family. but the bankruptcy trump-eras trusty andjames biden got paid f millions by the biden corp. and getting funding for them and

committees and that deny happen and james biden got money out of aamericore and james biden got paid by that. >> the evidence is mounting and irrefutable and the fact is politico wrote an article in august 2019 they titled biden inc. it's mainstream media and president biden using his office and trade and including his family name. senator grassley issued our reports with tens of millions of countries with hunter biden's labyrinth of companies set up and money laundering and james comber and jordan smith of these februaries, these chairman are putting together all the other pieces of the puzzle and the evidence is rolling in. for example, nine members of the

biden family received reimbursement and got paid by some of the cash flows. nine. what do they do? what did hunter do? this is obvious corruption and obvious to americans and journal is for years and mainstream media covering up for the bidens and beginning their nominee and the other president. >> joe biden is refusing to provide any documentation to back up the wait house con tense and didn't profit and loans between the family. are you hearing the house impeachment managers will subpoena the president's bank records and are they going to subpoena more bank records for the 20 or so shell companies the family set up to take in millions with the overseas deals like from china? >> i hope they do. that's where the evidence lies and the irs whistle blowers saying when there's a nex us between the president and

they're invest was shut down and that needs to be shown. senator grassley and i showed the inflows and now the details of bank records and that one fbi form where you had another whistle blower talking about how he paid biden and hunter $5 million a piece so it would take years to unravel the complexity of those payments. again, these investigations aren't easy and made much more difficult when witnesses don't cooperate and president trump's children, complied with the subpoena and sat for a transcribed interview under oath with the committee members on january 6. why didn't hunter? it's indicating they're probably guilty and i think we know that the biden family is guilty of corruption and influence peddling. elizabeth: senator, when you see in the, you pointed out it's a labyrinth and seeing the different pieces of the puzzle come together and irs whistle blower testify that the biden

family charged $10 million a year for "introductions". i guess to power brokers in dc. this influence peddling. the fbi veteran informant that fd1023 document spelling out and alleged 10 million bribery scheme involving then vice president biden and hunter biden. then you had bank officials in an e-mail saying, wait a second, we don't see any activity. there's no services being rendered by hunter biden for why he's getting millions in payments out of chai that . we don't know what his services are. what his business is and note they said in the e-mail that china and foreign adversaries purposely target the children of politicians for influence. to get inside the u.s. government. so that and when you see that kind of testimony coming forward, do you feel like there could be more shoes to drop with

what the impeachment managers may uncover? subpoenas. will they subpoena the president? they subpoenaed hunter and -- and james biden is subpoena bank officials and records for the shell companies? >> they need to, and if they do there'll be more and more evidence coming out. we'll see more and more pieces of the puzzle. one thing i would argue is a very narrow indictment of hunter biden avoiding $1.4 million of taxes in four years and one of the most interesting alaska the indictment is he laid out 4.9 million worth of expenditures and 3.6 million in cash. that's a thousand a day. is that maybe how the big guy got his 10% through untraceable cold hard cash and spending on women and sex trafficked through a ring and no great deal of

sympathy when hunter biden talking about people targeting him. we're trying to uncover the truth and make sure that the american public understands that a biden presidency in the second term is more compromising than they had been in the first term. thank you for joining us tonight. former president trump lashes out at judge engoron in the new york civil fraud trial for rejecting the new motion to dismiss the case. we'll break down this new fight and will it atlanta in the supreme court and expect fireworks set for january. first, check in with dagen and sean, what's up next on the bottom line. >> hey, e mac, invited invasion and joe biden inviting all these people into the country and 4,500 one day in eagle pass and michael shellenberger on the show to talk about that. >> responding to biden and

elizabeth: let's bring in from parents defending education investigative fellow alex nester. alex, good to have you on the show. we need you on the story. second circuit court of appeals took on a nay jordy lawsuit filed by -- mayor lawsuit filed by four female track and field athletes against connecticut. they lost in their track events against logical males and all -- biological males and all 15 judges rule that had, yes, these women athletes were deprived of their civil rights. their title 9 equal athletic opportunity rites that they -- that's been violated but this biden white house is changing title 9 so the judges are basically saying the white house is violating women athletes rights here. >> yeah, so this is a really important reversal from a decision last year saying these

women had no standing and it's absolutely not true from 2017 when the women filed suit and two biological males competing in women's sports and denied women 85 different opportunities to advance in track and field so it's really great to see this reversal but you're exactly right. we're expecting some rules to come down the pike from the biden administration next year and that would basically say that schools cannot forbid biological males from competing in women's sports and that's a huge threat to female athletes across the country. elizabeth: yeah, al education, what you're saying these women@ athletes suffer unfair injury and physical harm on the playing field, suffer losing races, losing titles, potential scholarships and even endorsements and more than six dozen athletes, coaches, parents and more in breach of sports and

two olympic swimmers, nancy and donna, they support the women athletes. they could get monetary relief here. >> right, and most americans do. look, there's a poll this summer that said around 70% of americans say that sports should be separated by biological sex d after males go through puberty, they retain biological advantages over women, increased bone density and muscle mass to name a two. yes, we've seen women have physical injuries from competing against buy long cal males. biological males. just a few weeks ago, a male field hockey player knocked the teeth out of a girl playing in field hockey and a while back too, a girl in volleyball sustained a concussion. it's so great to see women like riley gains and these four in connecticut take a stand. they will not sit down or shut up and be told to lose gracefully.

elizabeth: all girls deserve a chance to play on a leveling playing field. we have a attorney with the alliance defending freedoms saying connecticut state policy forces girls to become spectators in their own sports, but attorneys warn the title 9 changes that the president wants to accept biological males in women's sports, it's reversing nearly 50 years of advancement for women and completely at odds with the spirit of title nine. but the president is changing a federal law and he's reversing that. >> written in 1972, meant to protect women from discrimination and based on sex or discrimination and nothing to read gender identity into this role and the biden administration wants to do that, we will see the elimination of women's sports in spaces. elizabeth: got t alex nester,

thank you for joining us. former deputy assistant attorney john yoo. good to see you, sir. john, we've got former president trump raging at judge engoron after a day of courtroom fireworks and judge on the new york trial rejected the motion to dismiss the new york civil fraud case against trump and his business empire. we've got argument set for january and closing arguments set for january 11. what can going to happen. this one is babed in. the judge decided that trump is going to issue a decision a few months ago a deciding that trump defrauded the market and upset fears of the proceeding and going to conclude as just a few weeks is just about the penalty going to be.

i think what's going to happen is judge engoron is making clear and he'll going to rule against tram and only question is when he's going to kick the trump organization and donald trump out of new york state from ever doing business and this is the been about creating the record for appeal. whether president trump can get up to an appeals court and even the new york highest state court and try to get some of judge egg ron's rules re--- ju's decision reversed. elizabeth: it would be a glaring flaw to assume the testimony is true and accurate and the case record proves there's many material misstatements on trump's personal financial statements. what do you make of that? new york ag office said it's the most ineffective team of experts that a defendant's money can buy. they're really hammering away at

the trump team here. >> don't think the trump team put up a good defense on the law. they knew this judge had already decided against them. what president trump did quite cleverly turn into a political platform where he could make his claims and i think they're bourn out here in some ways he's being selected and they're being prosprosecuted and selectively persecuted by elected officials like the attorney general in new york and this judge elected and has sort of run a kind of circus of a proceeding and made his political point and echoes through all the other legal troubles that trump had with special councils with another case being brought in new york and georgia. trump was able to draw a very political message out of this and legally i don't think he has much chance here.

elizabeth: the judge said the banks that lent trump money and they loved trump's business and charged a lower rate on loans backed by the, what the judge is calling inflated assets and not damaged by lower rates and turning to what the former president saying that the banks were paid in full and financial statement hads a 100% disclaimer and don't rely on the statements. do your own due diligence and the reader or user of the statements shouldn't rely on them. the judge said trump can still be liable despite the disclaimers. >> this is the most important legal issue, liz, you've pointed out that could be preserved for appeal is does the state of new york have any interest in sticking its nose in the complex repeated accounting standards boards and major banks like president trump and neither of

them is claiming they were defrauded and everybody was paid in full when the contracts were executed and without any complaint and why is new york soon here and voters in new york should ask themselves. incentive for this case from the future is to drive more business out of new york city. to drive more of these sophisticated transactions to other states. why are they elected people to office who are driving business from their state. elizabeth: yeah, wild one judge and not a jury can destroy an entire business. john yoo, you're terrific and thank you for joining us. by the way, john, we want to ask you, you brought up this other case, you know, what's going on with the special council jack smith and what's going on with the georgia 2020 case. what's your take on what's happening now? >> this is interesting. president trump has some very important issues to bring up to the court and the supreme court are announced that it was going to hear one of the major league issues in the january 6 proprii terrifics case being directly charged and brought up in the
