5:00 pm
are now accessible to the many. ♪ get cash back rewards, and live large. ♪ larry: all right, happy valentine 's day. save our border, save the country, kill the senate bill. we love america. and happy valentine's to liz macdonald and her great show. elizabeth: and to you too, larry. we match with the tie and the shirt. happy valentine's day to you. it's good to see you. we're staying on the new developments, breaking news coming in, former act aing homeland security secretary chad
5:01 pm
wolf joins us. you know, chad, it's good to see you again. we are in touch with members of congress and their team, major fighting going on behind the scenes, behind closed doors. what voters are seeing in the house as well, republicans led by house speaker mike johnson demand tighter, tougher u.s. border security here, full stop. but, you know, the republicans in the senate and democrats are saying set that aside is, gotta go with the senate's $95 billion overseas spending on foreign wars. multiple voter polls say voters demand border security now. why the pushback against that? >> well, it's a great question. i think what the voters are saying in a variety of folks on capitol hill is let's start with our own national security. let's start with our own borders. we secure those, when we start talking or before we start talking about ukraine, israel and others. look, aid to israel is vitally important, and we can have a debate about ukraine. i think the concern that i had is when you lumped all three of those together in one bill, i think it was the a little bit
5:02 pm
problematic. then you're holding one hostage to the other, to the other. but this idea that we cannot come to agreement on some real life, proven and effective border security measures to get this crisis under control, that's what voters are concerned about, and that's what they care about. and until you address that in a serious way without overcomplicating it, trying to reinvent the wheel, unfortunately what i saw the senate bill do, i think that's where the concern is. h.r. 2 has been passed, it's been passed for 7 months. let's negotiate on that bill, come to a resolution and move forward. elizabeth: yeah, move forward on that. it makes common sense. so there's also this development coming n. right as the house speaker says, no, the house won't pass the senate's $95 billion foreign aid package, most of that money, $61 billion, was headed toward ukraine, again, he's demanding u.s. border -- voter security -- border security first. now a serious is national security threat brought up by
5:03 pm
house intelligence chair mike if turner that's related to russia and nsa jake sullivan will go to capitol hill tomorrow to brief lawmakers? what's going on here? what's the timing of this? >> yeah. i think it's interesting, i think, you know, we're still trying to figure out what it is. i think, you know, there's been reports about it being space-related capabilities to the russian military and exactly what that a entails. what this reminds me of, quite frankly, is a little bit about the chinese spy balloon, right? the administration knew a there was a threat for some period of time, wasn't transparent with the american public about that threat, and i think you're starting to see that. and, of course, you have members of the intelligence community receiving a classified briefing and saying, oh, my goodness, we need to share some version of this with the american people because they need to understand what's going on. and so this is about being transparent and communicating, and, you know, mike rodgers is sort of waving the flag here and saying, look, this is big enough that we need to start talking
5:04 pm
about it. elizabeth: yeah, mike turner too. >> mike turner, sorry. elizabeth: a lot of voters are standing up and saying, yes, finally some accountability. the house impeached secretary mayorkas, homeland security secretary. senator chuck schumer says the senate will take that up probably by the end of march. but what do you make of democrats, the president and also gop lawmaker ken buck saying he was impeached for, quote, policy differences? if what do you say? >> well, i disagree with that wholeheartedly. look, you shouldn't be impeached because there are just mere policy differences. that's not what we have here. we have an individual who did not enforce immigration law, abused the authority and hen the lied about a it -- and then lied about it. and the consequences of all three of those are very, very serious on americans and migrants alike. people are dying and have been dying over the course of three years. and when you try to cover that up and you're not being transparent about it and about the reasons for it, you're entering a whole new level which
5:05 pm
is what we have seen with the secretary and others. so i vently disagree that these are just policy issues. he's not the secretary of education e, and we can have policy disputes, and it's not materially impacting lives every single day. the decisions he's making in not enforcing the law and abusing the authority, these are serious issues that are affecting the american people and migrants and others. and i think that's what congressional republican voted -- republicans voted on here recently. elizabeth: he sent out the memo to his staff, dhs secretary mayorkas, in september 2021 saying do not enforce the law on depor ifations and detainment. so that's why they're violating the law. i mean, we're hearing the nat is expected to not indict. again, this is going to keep the story about the border collapse in the news, in the headlines. let's get your reaction to congressman byron donalds on this. watch. >> well, look, laura, to those
5:06 pm
mother, to those families who have lost loved ones to this crisis that has afflicted them, that's been brought to them by joe biden, we have answered that call. alejandro major has been impeached -- mayorkas has been impeached. what has happened at our southern border is a travesty. it is a manmade crisis, a political crisis brought to us by the democrats and joe biden, and the american people deserve better. elizabeth: chad, your reaction to that. >> yeah. the american people do deserve better. this is about accountability, and the house has done their job. it's up to the senate to do theirs. so i think it's vitally important that they take this seriously, and i hope that they do. elizabeth: chad wolf, thanks for joining us. good to see you. >> thank you. elizabeth: let's bring if in right now, this is a terrific guest, editor-in-chief of the federalist, mollie hemingway. mollie, it's good to see you. okay, we want to talk to you more about the story we broke last night. "the hill" reporting top democrats like senate majority
5:07 pm
leader chuck schumer silencing fellow democrats, silencing their party. it's now tata boo for democrats -- taboo for democrats to talk about president biden's age. when abc, nbc polls, mollie, the majority of voters say he's too lated so run again. something like -- too old to run again, something like 54%2349nbc poll say he's too old. voters or think president trump is too old too, but they're really zooming in hard, democrats are, on the president's age. the top leaders are saying it's taboo to talk about it? >> yeah, i don't think it's going to work very well for them, because people are witnessing every day, you know, it's not the age so much as the mental decline or the general decline that people can witness with every single day that they hear their president speaking or any kind of reports that come out about the struggles that he's having, you know, just with doing his job. but if you don't talk about the age, you're going to be talking about his policy decisions which are even less popular than his age.
5:08 pm
elizabeth: i mean, there are 8.l border crossers, nearly 1500 terrorists caught on his watch since is he was elected. let's get your reaction to the top-down rhetoric from senator chuck schumer. you're also going to hear the depress secretary and then -- press secretary and then president biden here. watch this. >> i talk to president biden, you know, regularly, sometimes several times in a week. usually several times in a week. his mental acuity is great, it's fine, it's as a good as it's been over the years. all this right-wing propaganda that his mental acuity has declined wrong. >> the characterization, the way that report was characterized, was not just me saying this, legal experts on both sides said it was flatly wrong. >> and the way it works is we supply with ukraine -- [inaudible] from our stockpile and then we spend our money replenishing those stockpiles so our military has access to them. stockpiles that are made right
5:09 pm
here in america. i promise i'll come back and answer questions later. elizabeth: god protect the speaker, right-wing propaganda, it's the illegal to talk about the president's age. your reaction, mollie? >> yeah. well,ing if chuck schumer says that he has seen president biden speak with focus and that his mental acuity is fine, there should be some video evidence of that. that's not what we're getting day in and day out. we see videos where he's stumbling to remember names and dates. and it's not just right-wing propaganda because, of course, the special counsel report in trying to help joe biden avoid accountability for his mishandling of classified information, that special counsel said that president biden was having trouble remembering things not just in his interview with the special counsel, but all the way back to 2017 when he was doing taped interviews with his ghost writer. and the thing that's important about that is. >> 2017 in interviews with his ghost writer, he had no incentive to have a bad memory. so if he was struggling with memory all the way back then, we
5:10 pm
kind of understand why we're seeing so many troubles that he's having right now. elizabeth: and isn't it reasonable to say, okay, if everything's fine, they just leased the special counsel robert hur's transcript of his interview with the president, that's what the chairs of these three powerful house committees, chairs jordan, comer and smith, they wrote to a.g. garland saying release the interview transcript between special counsel robert hur and president biden by next monday. i mean, you know, we've got -- we broke it last night, mollee. then-vice president biden took home from the obama white house the daily briefing books with u.s. secrets. he took home notes from the obama situation room on the cia a director and senior military officials', quote, views of a foreign terrorist organization. he had skif top secret information at his home. the national archives indicating never if returned anything, and now there's questions about his acuity. >> well, and, you know, when you put it that way too, the acuity
5:11 pm
is the least of the problems there. we have a department of justice that has just explained that there was willful mishandling of classified information not from when he was president and had declassification authority, but from when he was a senator, vice president, when he was trying to make money off of book sales. so we have that at the same time that the department of justice is running roughshod over any kind of normal or -- norm or rule of law in an attempt to imprison donald trump for how he handled classified information when he was president. and so these things are so much bigger than just the mental problems that biden is having that we all see. you know, the department of justice is going -- should last longer than east president biden or -- either president biden or president trump, and it has done such a bad job of upholding its own integrity because of the way it prosecutes different issues. elizabeth: got it. mollie hemingway, thanks for joining is. still ahead, congressman mark green, congressmen russell fry and greg steube, "fox news

updated on this story. we've been reporting about what's going on at the border in california. now new data from u.s. customs and border protection concerning spike higher in illegal border crossings, records now being broken at the border in california. fox news' griff jenkins is live near the border in california with the details. griff, great to have you on. >> reporter: hey, good afternoon, liz. we're here about a 60 miles east of san diego. you can see where the border wall meets the rugged terrain of this sector, the razor wire, clothes from migrants caught. look at this gaping hole. this, in the distance you can see a white tent. that's actually mexican officials that have stopped the flow here, but in recent weeks hundreds of migrants pouring through. take a look at this video shot by fox nation. you can see the migrants just coming right around this fence, going to be encountered by the border patrol process and sent to a processing station. what's significant is the number
5:19 pm
of chinese nationals, a 500% increase in just the san diego sector. they're seeing 90 of the 20,000 -- 90% of the 20,000 that have come since october 1st, numbers they've ever seen from a country obvious because of the communist chinese party, raising red flags. border patrol president brandon judd weighed in. take a listen. >> best case scenario this is just a new demographic that is coming. worst case scenario, obviously, the chinese government who is an enemy of ours is trying to get as many people here. >> reporter: and, liz, some of what also makes this so concerning is that there's so many single adult men coming in this area. we were here about 5 miles to the west where 88 migrants were apprehended earlier today. among them, a large number of chinese and african migrants. it's really raising a lot of red flags because as we've covered this story and been on this show, we've seen is it, the surge, move from all the way in
5:20 pm
texas, 2,000 miles out here in san diego where border patrol agents are just shul pressed for resources trying to get this under control. the good news i'll leave you with is that the mexican officials are cooperating. we have been seen a single migrant in this area. it's moving the flow of the cartels sending migrants across in other areas. liz? elizabeth: griff jenkins, you always do exceptional journalism right there, right on the front lines, giving the information to the american viewer. we appreciate you, griff jenkins. thank you so much. okay, it is time for our third installment of misleading america. we've been doing this series this week. we need to bring if in gop strategist ford o'connell. he's going to break this down. okay, tonight on the hot seat, ford, it's white house press sec karine jean-pierre in focus. fact checkers and media watchdogs have called her out for misleading statements on, that the border is secure, inflation is transitory, president biden is physically and mentally fine.
5:21 pm
now, should people cut kjp slack because both axios and politico reporting the president has been yelling, he's been angry and cursing out people behind the scenes? what do you think? >> well, think that from the border to the economy and everything in between, liz, that karine karine jean-pierre's gaslighting america. and it's with a blatant out and out lies. and when it comes to joe biden, you know why he's angry? if because 86% of americans think that he's too old to serve another term. it's astounding that 86% of americans can actually agree on something. to put this into perspective, a higher percentage of americans believe that joe biden is too old to be president for another therm than actually believe the earth is flat. 86% to 84%. elizabeth: you know, now there's reports that there's tension behind the scenes between john kirby and karine jean-pierre about who's going to control the microphone in the white house press room. you know, the issue too is one -- what have americans been hearing from the white house, you know? it's not an easy job.
5:22 pm
we understand the press secretary's job is difficult. but what the american voter, we talked to them, they're concerned about top spin and the propaganda. let's listen to some of the biggest whoppers here. watch this. >> and all viability crime anywhere is completely unacceptable not just here in d.c. we're going to call them all out in communities across the country and and not get into, and not get into, you know, politics on this. the president is wanting to make sure that communities feel safe, and we're not seeing that from congressional republicans. we're just not. the president has done everything that he can on his own to try to figure out how do we deal with what's going on at the border. the border is secure. the president has done more to secure the border and to deal with this issue of immigration than anybody else. he really has. as it relates to what that has been said -- what a has been a said by, in this report, it is something that we don't believe lives in reality, and no one in this building would say that what we saw in this report about
5:23 pm
his memory. inflation is also a global issue people are feeling what the economy is doing. finish and we have to remember, this didn't happen by accident. he has put, he's put equity at the center of everything that he's talked about when it comes to the economy. 14 million jobs created. wages are up. that matters. elizabeth: okay. wages are down about 2.1% after inflation. he did not create 14 or 15 million jobs, as she said. he created something like 4 million jobs. the economy opened up after lockdowns and clawed back those jobs. but now today blaming republicans for crime? if. >> yeah. this is a complete head scratcher, liz. the reason why john kirby's breathing down karine jean-pierre's neck when it comes to the brady room and press briefings is because she's bad at her job, liz. she can't even tell a convincing lie. nothing she said in that group of talks did she actually say one true thing. and because of that, she is the worst press secretary in the
5:24 pm
modern era and, unfortunately, because of the dei stranglehold on joe biden's administration, they just can't eject her from that position, so now they're just going to have her step to the side. elizabeth: okay. but you know what? we're seeing a lot of head ryans come out -- headlines coming out. every time this happens at the white house with what they're saying to the american people, we are seeing publy a occasions saying, wait a second, this is what's going on. interesting time in america, ford or o'connell. it's good to see you again. and look who's coming up, we're so excited to have "fox news sunday" anchor shannon bream. terrific writer, author, really a terrific analyst on the court and supreme court. we've got new developments in the four cases involving former president trump this week. there are two court hearings tomorrow. plus, congressman russell fry from house oversight is here. his committee says there is, quote, overwhelming impeachment evidence showing president joe biden did meet with many of

5:30 pm
elizabeth: okay, we've got new developments in the georgia 2020 the case e against former president trump. a georgia judge considering a motion to disqualify fulton county d.a. fani willis. let's get right to fox news' steve harrigan in atlanta with the latest. steve. >> reporter: elizabeth, the two sides are really heading for a collision tomorrow at the hearing. on the one side, you have the d.a. and the prosecutor she
5:31 pm
hired, they admit they had an affair, but they do say that affair only began after nathan wade, the prosecutor, was hired. they also admit to traveling together, but they say they split expenses. now, one defense attorney says the two of them are just lying. the affair with nathan wade began much earlier, before he was hired, and that nathan wade spent thousands of dollars that he earned as prosecutor wining and dining fani willis. now, the hearing tomorrow is not going to have anything to do with election interference in georgia. instead, it will be focused entirely on the relationship between fannie will lits and nathan wade. >> because i think it's possible9 that the facts allege ad by the defendant -- alleged by the defendant could result in disqualification. i think an evidentiary hearing must occur to establish the record on those core allegations. >> reporter: the big question still, fani willis be forced to testify by the judge tomorrow. it's really going to depend on what kind of evidence he hears from those early witnesses. elizabeth, back to you.
5:32 pm
elizabeth: steve harrigan, thank you so much. always great reporting. and we are so excited and happy to have back with us now fox news sunday anchor and attorney stan nonbream, terrific writer and author. so, shannon, it's good to have you back on. we need you on this story. "politico" reporting each of trump's four criminal cases set to reach a sort of, i don't know, clarifying inflection point this week. besides that georgia hearing tomorrow, there's a new york judge who's going to weigh trump's bid to toss out his new york case he falsifiesfied business records to cover up that affair with stormy dan yells. what do you make of this, shannon many. >> your exactly right. on thursday this was the very first indictment from alvin bragg that came down almost a year ago when president trump predicted he would with actually do well in the polls and his numbers would help if he was indicted if when he was asked if he would drop out. bigger poll numbers and fund raising numbers. so third they'll be talking about that case. -- thursday
5:33 pm
they'll be talking about that case. of course, the trump team is trying to get it thrown out completely. we may find out if that trial hangs together whether it does start as a planned on march 25th or whether that date slides. and, of course, that comes against the backdrop of the two federal cases, one of which is now sitting with the supreme court, the issue of immunity. and, obvious, the other one in florida that deals with the documents at mar-a-lago. elizabeth: right. there's so many going on. and -- so much going on. and this new york judge's decision could come down, we're hearing it could come down friday in that new york civil fraud trial involving former president trump. $370 million penalty against trump here. what do you make of this one? >> well, reason, his team -- listen, his team has said they feel like there's so many grounds for appeal for that particular trial, they have many beefs, as you know, publicly with the judge. they say process has been violated, they say that they think they have a really good chance on appeal to overturn some of the decisions the judge made. and then, ultimately, hay hope all of the findings and the penalties that have come from that judge as well.
5:34 pm
so they're already looking sort of ahead to the next chapter of this feeling like this judge in their estimation has been so outrageous that they believe they have some good appeal arguments. elizabeth: now the big one, all the cases are important, but the u.s. supreme court giving special counsel jack smith a one-week deadline to respond to former president trump's requests the court push back and pause on this lower court decision rejecting his immunity? if that's, and this is a 2020 case. shannon, does it sound to you, a week deadline in that doesn't sound like a speedy schedule. do you think this goes to trial before the election. >> i've got to tell you, elizabeth, for the supreme court, that is speedy. elizabeth: oh, it is? okay. >> months if you're lucky, so they really are giving this a very expedited consideration. listen, next week they'll have that by that deadline a filing from the justice department about this. remember, the whole question is whether or not president trump has immunity. and for now while that question's being debated, that lower court trial cannot start.
5:35 pm
it is paused, as you mentioned, was supposed to start in march. very unlikely at this point. but the supreme court could take this whole thing and say we're not going to hear the case. we're just going to leave this case against him. now the pause button is off, or they could say, okay, we're going to hear the case. elizabeth: shannon bream, happy valentine's day. we love your sweater, it's terrific to see the red there. catch shannon's show sundays at 2 p.m. eastern time on "fox news sunday." it is a terrific show. okay, this curious story of the treasury department doing surveillance on americans' banking transactions. lawmakers questioning treasury officials at a hearing today about that. let's get right to hillary vaughn live on capitol hill with the latest. hillary. >> reporter: hi, liz are. well, we are getting more clarity on this controversy because lawmakers today did hear from the director of that agency that's tasked with combating
5:36 pm
financial criminal activity and which is also at the center of this controversy where the agency was advising financial institutions to search their customers' transaction as for certain terms that they said -- they warned could be tied to a home grown violent extreme theist. that included searching transactions for political terms like trump, maga, biden or kamala, looking for large purchases from dick's sporting goods, cabell are that's or bass pro shop and any purchases will have of religious books. the director testified all of this was voluntary by banks to look into their customers and turn over transactions and said there are limits to what they can request from banks and what banks can provide to them on their customers. >> the ultimate responsibility to determine whether or not an action is suspicious and and to file that report remains with financial institutions. >> reporter: the customers' combined bank activity also had to meet a certain threshold before they would be flagged,
5:37 pm
but some republicans don't think this is constitutional to snoop on legal transactions from unsuspecting americans. >> what i understand is that the overwhelming focus of this information was on violence. >> on what? >> violence. it was on -- it was sharing key terms around acts of violence -- >> bible? gun violence? if those are gun purchases? if you know, i'm trying to understand here. these are legal purchases. these have nothing to do with terrorism or money laundering. >> reporter: liz, another big question we have had is, is this still happening. and today we learned that this guidance is still out there presently for financial institutions to consider. liz? elizabeth: interesting it's still ongoing, hillary. thank you for your terrific journalism, as always. we appreciate you, hillary vaughn. >> reporter: thanks, liz. elizabeth: from house oversight and house judiciary, congressman russell fry. first, let's deal with this. you know, why are house republicans leading the
5:38 pm
impeachment -- they're leading the impeachment inquiry against president biden. why do you guys want the justice department to turn over the transcript and any recordings of president biden's interview with special double robert hur? -- counsel robert hur in. >> i think it may be very illuminating. for months, in fact, years we've heard from joe biden himself and the administration one story, and every single time that we uncover something else, it is completely opposite of what president biden and the administration have said. and so, you know, a private interview with a prosecutor about what is actually going on, i think, is really important as we connect the dots in pursuing our impeachment inquiry. elizabeth: do you feel like the president revealed information or there's information that he kept in classified docs, in classified documents having to do with ukraine and other countries like russia? you know, that's where the biden family including hunter biden, they were doing deals inside those nations. >> i think it's very conceivable that that occurred. we know based on the recent
5:39 pm
testimony of mr. bobulinski that joe biden was very much involved in his family's business schemes. and so getting to the bottom of this, i think, is critical. and, you know, even after the report was released, president biden doubled down and had kind of a disastrous press conference that was somewhat incoherent, but he flatly denied again, despite the special counsel report, what was egg a really going on -- what was really going on. elizabeth: so let's move to this. your colleagues on oversight leased information from tony bobulinski's testimony that hunter biden referred to his father as a, quote, the chairman of the family business in a group chat with business partners. can you tell us more about that? was this about securing a multimillion dollar deal with that chinese energy company in. >> well, i think very much so. if you look at the dots that were connected, about the same time that a $3 million from cefc, which is the chinese energy company, about the same time that money was wired to the
5:40 pm
biden business accounts, joe biden personally met with officials from cefc. and so this is continuing a pattern of conduct with this family that he was very much in the center, that he was very much the brand. elizabeth: got it. congressman russell fry, thank you so much for joining us tonight. it's good to see you. >> you too. elizabeth: this story coming up, we love hearing from the man and woman on the street. we love to hear from the voters, the folks out there. a big important voter bloc, minority voters, speaking out. we're going to show you their reaction, what they are thinking now. they're talking about the economy, inflation. it's coming up on "the ending -- evening edit." but let's see what's coming up on "the bottom line" from dagen and sean. sean: yeah, a great show coming up. house intel committee chairman who's encouraged joe biden to declassify syria's -- serious national security threat, byron donalds on that as well as david

elizabeth: well, we are delighted to have back on the show from house ways and means, congressman greg tube bill. it's good to see you again. >> good to see you too. elizabeth: okay, we are in the 2024 election race. it's a kitchen table race. what do you make of the president saying that he's fighting to rower costs for -- lower costs for middle class, lower class families, prescription drugs, junk fees, shrinkflation meaning shrinking package sizes? he's saying he is doing his best to fight inflation. what do you say? >> well, listen to these numbers, liz. overall prices since joe biden took office is up 17.9%. food is up 20.8%.
5:47 pm
energy services is up 28.8% because of the biden administration's war on domestic production of oil and gas. and rent is up 18-- 19.5%. is so as you said, it's the kitchen table, it's the economy, it's the things that are affecting everyday voters, and those numbers are boeing to be very telling to how people are going to vote come november because of the huge amount of inflation that americans have seen under joe biden's presidency. elizabeth: so what you're saying are big ticket items. they're big ticket items, what you just cited. the president seems to be focusing on small items. i mean, rising shelter costs drove more than two-thirds of that 3.1% rise in inflation last month. >> yeah. when your energy prices that you're paying for your house to run your house and heat your home and for a/c for us floridians is up 28%, that's a huge overall cost to your budget as a family of four, as a larger family. when your food costs are up 20%, you don't really care about the junk fee that you're paying to
5:48 pm
fly whatever airline it is. you're worried about putting food on the table. you're worried about being able to pay your utility bill working two jobs to be able to do that. and everyday americans, the economy is the number one outside of the border issue that are facing everyday americans because of the inflation that we've seen under this president. elizabeth if elizabeth yeah. a record 8.6 million americans now working multiple jobs to make ends meet. you know, let's get your reaction to the team on jesse watt watters' prime time. they caught up with black votersers on who they wan to be president. watch this. >> joe biden orb koh donald -- or donald trump. >> is. >> trump. he's not the best person in the world but better than who's in office right now. >> donald trump. >> why? >> because he keeps it real even though if he hate people, he gonna let you know. >> i love donald trump. bring back uncle trump. >> bring him back? >> yes. elizabeth: bring back uncle trump. what do you think? >> bring back uncle trump. there's everyday americans right
5:49 pm
there that are feeling the price gouging that they're getting from high inflation, that they're knowing that we are not safe and secure like we were under president trump. look at the issues we've had from a foreign affairs perspective. look at the border. hook at the 10 million illegals we've had come in. record crime, record fentanyl. people dying all across our country from fentanyl if overdoses and all the things that come with all of their far left policies. america wants him back in the white house, and there's nobody better on day one to come in and change all of this -- elizabeth: but if you are a viewer e of stations like msnbc, you would think that trump would introduce fascism into america. what do you say to that? >> yeah. but what's interesting is if you hook at their ratings, not a lot of american are watching mainstream media today. most people are getting their news off twitter or facebook or some other social media sites. and some people aren't even -- i bet those people aren't even paying attention to the news. elizabeth: we've got a system of

elizabeth: joining us now, former u.s. border patrol chief, former acting i.c.e. director and brent sadler, serves 25 years in the navy. first to you brent. thank you for joining us, this warning from house intelligence chair, mike turner, a serious national security threat about a possibly russia deploying nuclear capability in outer space to take out satellites? it we already know about this? what is the timing? >> that most information that i heard to date on what causing this current. to it is turb or knock out the satellites, that was a threat that was in cold war,
5:56 pm
but there may be a new finds of delivering it or a much more method. if that is the case, it could be as we're told unstabilizing. elizabeth: highly unstabilizing, to you ron, the issue is people are saying, what about the timing of this? coming right as the house speaker johnson pushing back on the 95 billion dollar deal for aid to ukraine, israel and taiwan, it does not have border security provisions in it, what do you think? >> we have do something about the border, i'm not sure that resources is the answers. i think that is where the speaker is coming from, speaker also mentioned we need to remain calm about this threat this chairman has identified for us. we know what russia has been
5:57 pm
up to for several years, they see it each day, if they tell to us be calm that is fine, the chairman is a sober person, if he says it is important, we should to, that tieing it to legislation on the floor is something that we all need to take a step back, if speaker said hold on, we need to take care it. that is a different story. elizabeth: we showed, brent, voters, talking about how they will vote for trump. the insanity out of msnbc and other networks about what trump is about, they have not seen the whole if picture about what me is saying and policy, people feel safer under trump's policies, right now we see a threat with russia involving satellites and nuclear capability? it feels not to be safe right now, what you to say,
5:58 pm
brent? >> you are right, track record under the trump administration 4 years speaks for itself, the world was a lot safer, not as much as chaos as we we've seen in last few years. i hope other analysts would spend less time twisting the president's words and look at the actions and results he was able to achieve, we would probably be in a better place today if they would do more. what do you think of what brent said, there is an impeachment on move against mayorkas. the house lawmakers saying that mayorkas violated immigration nationality act, not detaining and not deporting illegal immigrants, he sent that memo to his staff saying disregard the law. >> the impeachment is something that the house did, remains to be seen when the senate will go -- what the senate will do, but to
5:59 pm
overall point, we're all worried about what is going on, we saw what happened in afghanistan, we're in a proxy war with russia in europe, we're in a proxy war with hamas and iran proxies, in the middle east, people are right to be on en and right to remember when president trump had the -- his hand on the wheel, we didn't face these kinds of controversy, we have watched this president, and secretary who was just impeached sit on their hands while all control levels that existed at the border are now gone and every stay in town in united states they are seeing the impact of large scale, uncontrolled mass migration at sort everyone border, in their neighborhoods that makes everyone react in specific ways, and we have right to be concerned about threats that exist. because of what is happening at our border. elizabeth: brent, respond to what ron said, how you to collapse the border with
6:00 pm
multiple geopolitical conflicts overseas. >> i think that the intention of opening the door and southern border, was ideologically based and one that the democrat party was hoping to do, regardless of what the world evented was all about. i think now, the folly of their policies is coming back to haunt them, they don't and way out of this they are bound to their policies' after open border -- of an open border, but american citizens, we want safety in our communities and neighborhoods, they see border as tied to, that democrats condition escape. elizabeth: you were terrific, thank you so much, happy valentine's day to you, and to you viewers, i am elizabeth macdonald, thank you for watching the "evening edit" on fox business, we send it over to dagen and sean. dagen: i'm wearingly love, color, b
