5:01 pm
me. i know she will. liz: i will, larry. that was a great show. senator tommy tuberville and usa today reporting blue collar w orkers in pennsylvania not v oting for biden. biden has been campaigning about tax hikes and we'll break that down. judiciary chair jordan will take on how the law says the senate must hold the impeachment trial of homeland security secretary mayorkas and biden white house is literally breaking the border laws. but right to former u.s. assistant attorney andy mccarthy and tom dupree joining us. andrew and tom, first to you, andrew. there's a big flaw, a huge problem with the case this. is why it should be thrown out. andrew, tell me if i'm wrong. how can manhattan da bragg prosecute trump for federal campaign felonies for allegedly
5:02 pm
trying to steal the 2016 election from hillary clinton with hush money payments to stormy daniels when bragg's own indictments said all the alleged books and records charges happened way after that election in 2017. isn't that a fatal flaw, andrew? >> yeah, i think it is, liz. he's trying to cover it up with a couple of theories. one is that he was in a speeds with david pecker of national inquirer and michael cohen and catch unemployment reigns leading and unflattering stories about trump and bury them and that went on from 2015 through the election into 2017. what that ignores is that as you just pointed out, every one of the 34 counts and this is like one misdemeanor transaction that
5:03 pm
bragg parsed into 34 felony counts. but every one of them occurred between february and december of 2017. liz: what andrew just said, tom, what's your take on this? it sounds more and more like the jury will have a lot of reasonable doubt, and they could possibly toss this out. >> a lot of evidence is s leep-inducing on the part of the jurors and the trump defense team needs to keep the jury's eye on the ball to make sure the jury looks at this evidence and renders impartial and fair verdict and that's what they're doing today and tomorrow is t rying to find jurors that can put whatever political biases they might have aside, focus on evidence and render a fair and impartial verdict in this historic case. liz: so what tom just said, now
5:04 pm
we've got man handout tan da bragg file -- manhattan da bragg file ago motion in contempt of a gag order and fining him thousands of dollars for posts about michael cohen and stormy daniels when there's so many fatal flaws in the case. they can say what they want in the media about trump and bragg threatening to put trump in jail for 30 days and it's violating his free speech rights saying the case sun fair. >> look, there's two things going on, one is the gag order and i agree it's unfair under the circumstances and one of the real problems with this law fare campaign against trump is that these courts don't seem to think there's anything in life i ncluding anything this our constitutional republic that's more important than the administration of justice in their little trials and the problem with that is they all
5:05 pm
compete with other ones and administration of justice is important and has to give way to constitutional interest and make accommodations for them. trump is the de facto republican candidate. we have an interest -- liz: yeah, they have -- there's an interest in protecting the law and protecting the constitution that it's not distorted here in order to get a political rival. is that what you're saying, andrew? show this new ap poll. 45% say trump did not do anything illegal or wrong. bragg is trying to masking tape, scotch tape an expired books and records misdemeanor that expired past the statute of limitations, tom, to stitch to a federal campaign felony. where is bragg's proof the vote count changed and there's more votes for trump because of this? where is this hard evidence of
5:06 pm
that? tom? >> yeah, and look, liz, that's what we're all going to be w aiting for. now is the time for the kind of da to put his case on the table. anyone can file it making allegations and the test is here to that point and evidence you asked for is going to support them and bragg going to put them on the table and that's the cross examining them with the legal deadly weapons team and what the jury things and seeing public. liz: andrew, tell me if i'm wrong. why did the justice department and federal election commission drop it and why didn't they bring the case eight years ago in 2016 or 2017 because bragg is
5:07 pm
relying on serial perjure and he's been accused of that michael cohen as a witness and going with them bear with me for one second and this is about the denial of trump's constitutional rise in these cases. the first, fourth, sixth, eight amendment rights and there's this. they've been trying to railroad trump and even before he sat down in the oval office and l eaked trump's tax returns and they tried to kick trump off multiple state ballots and the riots with the day trump going with them and and don't like him and they like trump and the voter out there has got to see what's going on over democrats using the legal system to attack a political rival and railroad
5:08 pm
him. >> how blatantly political this has been in terms of punitive ways this is happening and what i worry about this is kind of like two ships passing in the night and those of us believe them to be orpheaned by this and you like trump or don't like tram and we're not getting as far as left is --ed and not t rying to pull one over on us. they believe in the punitive use of the process. liz: got it. what andrew said. tom, take it away. >> final word is this is going to be a fascinating trial to see it play out. i'm very interested to hear the president's commentary as this thing goes forward and not shy at all about giving us his unfiltered views on what's happening and all of us will benefit and they're backing up with hard circumstantial evidence claims he's been making for the last year. liz: you gentlemen are terrific. thank you for being with us
5:09 pm
tonight. good to see you. bring in wall street pro and author carol roth. we love having you on. good to see you again. what do you make of this d evelopment as donald trump's truth social company? announcing he's getting into live tv streaming with apps on android and more but the app took hits today, carol. what do you say? >> there's a lot of things competing with the small revenue and big -- sorry, big operating loss of the company, which is why they need to find new ways to generate revenue and you're seeing these announcements of things like live streaming and bringing in news and theoretically should be a good sign opportunistic the market and we have shelf filing that are shares of the company that were not freely traded before. there's lockup periods in place but with the is shelf filing in
5:10 pm
the coming months, you may have some of the existing s hareholders selling those s hares and we saw a downward pressure on the stock and not enough demand for supply out there and going to be adding new supply of the selling shareholders to the market, that could put extra pressure on the stock and the stock is tumbling and one other thing is that also in terms of short selling for anybody who has been trying to short the stock, it's very difficult and expensive and not oolot of float out there. with the shelf filing of potentially more shares coming into the markets, there'll be more shares to borrow, which would make it easier and more cost effective to short liz: the
5:11 pm
president saying if trump's truth social drops lower and might do better under my tax plan and going for a stop drop and biden more into taxes and that was the race taxes on capital gains and going to name it. >> the the truth of president biden coming to the trump tax cuts u liz. he's had more than three years to repeal those tax cuts if they were really that bad for the country for the overall revenue and the reality is that everybody got a tax benefit from the tax cuts across the board and they're taking those to be penalizing those people and they'd be able to see the difference and the revenues that the government has had and continued to grow with those tax cuts and more. the very clear reasons why he hasn't done that is coming out
5:12 pm
and taking shots and seeing this is a bad thing and liz: the country is being gas lit and hard to act on the show and going for them on the show. thank you, carol. good to see you again. >> you too. liz: we're excited for senator tommy tuberville and jimmy jordan and greg jarrett and rich goldberg and town hall.com political editor guy benson. why legal pros say senate democrats by law and the institution must do a senate impeachment trial of alejandro mayorkas and news of homeland security, look at this, homeland security has been monitoring
5:13 pm
literally hundreds of thousands of criminal illegal migrants now inside the u.s.. so how safe do you feel under president biden? the fight, this one, over lawmakers slamming and roasting senator chuck schumer for now claiming to back israel after chuck schumer attacked israel from the senate floor. we have more details on why supreme court justices today sounding like they could up end and overturn potential obstruction charges against f ormer president trump. and this story, why should taxpayer haves to pay the bill for npr, left wing bias? npr suspended an editor that expose that had and we've got evidence of clear bias by npr's chief executive. plus, senator tommy tuberville and senate armed services and take on this. today reporting blue collar w orkers in states like pennsylvania will not vote for biden. biden campaigned there today.
5:14 pm
5:17 pm
her uncle's unhappy. i'm sensing an underlying issue. it's t-mobile. it started when we tried to get him under a new plan. but they they unexpectedly unraveled their “price lock” guarantee. which has made him, a bit... unruly. you called yourself the “un-carrier”. you sing about “price lock” on those commercials. “the price lock, the price lock...” so, if you could change the price, change the name! it's not a lock, i know a lock. so how can we undo the damage? we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for.
5:19 pm
liz: joined by senator tommy tuberville from senate armed services. welcome. we have president biden c ampaigning in pennsylvania t alking about tax hikes, but usa today reports that biden is l osing blue collar workers in states like pennsylvania. those workers say the democrat party abandoned them and also wall street journaling says biden is falling behind with independence and biden is really under water in the polls. what did you make of this, senator? >> well, if you have a job in this country and he care as little bit about paying taxes and he'll stay off people going for them and going on the board and it's just american people got tired of this and all the background noise for the biden administration and there are things negative for them and going for them and all over the
5:20 pm
world and going to see workers in the country and fed up and having to pay for all the bills and the bills that are stacking up every day and joe bind going to pay the price. liz: senator, this is really interesting and police officers and cops in florida sound like voters and cops are really sick of these prohamas protesters and tried to block the port in miami and cops removed them in 15 minutes and pulled them out of the road and arrested many of them and compare to states like shutting down the golden gate bridge and san francisco and antiriot law a few years ago and going to make all of this. >> criminals and people that overtake our country and just bypassed their laws and we don't need these people that road them and we need someone to have a
5:21 pm
law saying it you try to block traffic and try to block the things that are going on in this country to stop trade, you know, where there's ports whether airports or all those things, it's an automatic fine and jail sentence. you don't even have to go to court. it's ridiculous and going to get worse. what's going on -- on over in gaza in the middle east, it's getting out of control and going to get more out of control and i met with a soldier last week that was here on leave that idf soldier and said, coach, we're not just trying to win, we're trying to survive in israel. that's what's going exon biden trying to play the fence here and palestinians and this country don't want joe bide ton be completely against them . liz: we've seen the 10-7 and we're going into how repugnant it is and we tried to occupy the street for vice president home.
5:22 pm
going for california. that happened and they tried to block the airport in seattle and that happened. >> amazing speech at republican snagsal convention and described blame on america for the democrats and say american left and going for america first and going for joe biden the senator already. he was part of that. i think we go back for the periods and they lock people up and going for the draft and if
5:23 pm
you want to screech death to america, we're deporting you. if you're an american, we're going to try you for treason. you can't get up and say death to american as an american citizen. it's time that we were prepared to defend the survival of the united states, and i think it's time we confront it head on. liz: what do you think, senator. show the viewer the tweets from even democrat senator john fetterman joining senators like yourself and marco rubio s peaking out against these p rotesters? >> defend the american people and citizens and taxpayers of this country first. defend our constitution, and our way of life, and forget the rest of these teem people. newt gingrich is exactly right. if they don't like being here, get gone. people are getting sick of this. and again, it's all because we allow them to do it. there's no consequences that's given to these people and going for them back a year ago and during president trump and nothing was done to these p eople. and then we have the so-called
5:24 pm
riots in the capitol on j anuary 6 and hundreds of those in jail. liz: got it. senator you can tuberville, thank you for joining us. good to see you. >> thank you. liz: excited to have greg jar jarrett on and supreme court justice weary about the government using enron law to hit january 6 defendant withs obstruction charges and could this overturn the same charges against former president trump. plus, house judiciary chair jim jordan take on secretary mayorkas blocking information about illegal migrant criminals. new data literally more than 600,000 of them inside the u.s. coming up on "the evening edit".
5:30 pm
criminals killing and assaulting americans nationwide this. is not an issue about, you know, red or blue or republican or democrats. it's about safety. house lawmakers looking to take action against the undeniable link between the border collapse under biden heard from sheriff on the front lines and one from loudoun county virginia and other from tarrant county and more on the weather border. >> large number of venezuelans coming across the board recently and it's interesting to note that until the country that doesn't talk to us at all, their prison population is hooking up. the vast majority being f
5:31 pm
entanyl. >> house select committee on china and going for a federal crisis and how it works. ccp provides government s ubsidies to prc and so long as the company and the subsidies are coming in and rebates will increase exports from china and other goods and the economy says it's intentional. >> now entering our country and it wants the chaos and devastation resulted from this epidemic and that means a mericans. >> liz, senator mayorkas talked fentanyl saying dhs interdicted more fentanyl and made more fentanyl-related arrests and two years and previous five c ombined. see if that comes up at his impeachment trial. liz. liz: always terrific reporting, griff. thank you. welcome back jim jordan.
5:32 pm
jim, good to have you back on, sir. in this report the chair of the security subcommittee and they've been with the security monitor and massive 617,000 illegal migrant criminals and they should have never been let in to begin with and he says to deport them and going to have it happen and >> there maybe a decision on the policy and not adhere to the law and it's day one they decided no more remain in mexico and building the wall and not getting to obtain the lease and then going to make matters worse and they train ice ages and don't deport people for larceny or theft. we've had witnesses testify that and we change the policy with ice and training policy and as a
5:33 pm
result terrible things happen and we ask for the finals on each of these guys that have done terrible things to american citizens and the files on open of these coming in and doing terrible things there. just give me a break. liz: think the senate will take up the senate trial for the impeachment of mayorkas and senator schumer going to dismiss the articles and the senator mike lee will bring business to a halt unstill they holt a senate trial and under the constitution and that's they must hold it with the duty for the constitution and the democrats are not controlled by the line and jaire they'll probably try to dismiss and not
5:34 pm
taking into account where the american people are. republicans, indianapolis dependents and democrats all understand that this is a huge issue polling reflects that understanding. but seems to me the democrats here in dc don't want to listen to the american people and don't want to do something to fix our border situation. liz: the federation for american immigration reform, they report the border crisis is costing taxpayers more than $150 billion annually. we have got u.s. veterans that are soldiers sleeping on the streets of america. we have, you know, lot of minority neighborhoods saying what are you doing to help us? the cbp reports that biden patrol pipeline directly released 941,000 illegal m igrants into the u.s. in the year through march. that's new day that . sir, are a lot unvetted in >> sure seems that way and i'd argue it's more than the money. the money is bad enough and think about what that's meant in communities where some can't get to hospital service they need in
5:35 pm
a timely fashion and the situation in new york where the mayor up there said oh, kids, tough stay home and learn via zoom today because we're using the school for all the migrants now in new york city and the worse situation and tragic situation is when they do harm like what happened to laken riley and what her family had to endure now. liz: senator graham saying laken riley's alleged murder was federalled into the -- patrolled into the u.s. illegally from el paso, texas. they let him go and didn't have a significant benefit and not for humanitarian reasons of the law and >> that's the right
5:36 pm
question and this was for two reasons and they can be p atrolled in and is it for humanitarian reasons or significant benefit and again, secretary mayorkas and l iz: thank you for joining us. welcome back to the show fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett and he's the author of the constitution of the united states and other patriotic documents book. it's a must read and gregg, in light of excessive research for your book. we look for it and it's solid. chief roberts went after the government for overreach c harging something like 350 january 6 defendant withs obstruction and but by using and stretching the enderon law and
5:37 pm
think it's knocked down by what supreme court justices were s aying tonight. >> if the supreme court strikes down this abusive obstruction statute that doesn't apply to congressional proceeding on january 6, that means more than 300 jc convictions get vacated at least in part, but also dramatically affects the donald trump case. two of the four charges with special council jack smith and it's abusive use of this obstruction and this is the documents that are shredded or documents that are concealed. that's not on january 6 and merrick garland's prosecutors completely mangled and contorted that obstruction law claim and
5:38 pm
it's congress and it appeared the justices weren't buying ino that. liz: this is gorsuch and leto d glitz the foundation and stretching the enderon law and that's meant to be limited to evidence tampering and books and blowups and document destruction and stop up obstruction and investigation and accounting frauds like this and going for gorsuch and let's get your reaction to this? listen. >> so this is the statute and would a sit in that disrupts a trial or access to a federal courthouse qualify thanks to the
5:39 pm
address and would pulling of fire alarm before a vote q ualifying for 20 years in federal prison. liz: justice gorsuch and going to be deemed protester and that was a perfect sound byte. >> that was going for justice going for them this time and starting to weaponnize it against a variety of political activity in which you also heard today is how the justices examine the legislative tent behind the statute and why it was created and designed as you point out to counter the infamous documents shredding and hiding and not remotely applicable to demonstrators that disrupted a vote in congress on january 6. this is another example of joe biden in his administration
5:40 pm
perverting the law. they did it with student loan forgiveness, vaccine mandate, eviction moratorium and list goes on and on. fortunately the supreme court is there as a backstop, liz. liz: got it. we really needed gregg jarrett on the story and he delivered. thank you, gregg. read his book, it's terrific. coming up, former national security council rich goldberg taking this on and lawmakers issuing a scathing indictment of president biden's iran policy since teheran's attack on israel .x we got more on lawmakers roasting senator chuck schumer for not claiming to back israel after schumer attacked israel from the senate floor but first, check in with buddy dagen and brian brenberg in for sean. we're excited to hear what's coming up on the bottom line. >> hey, liz. senator marsha blackburn on the latest of the mayorkas i
5:41 pm
mpeachment and congressman cory mills and foreign aid happening or not. we're going to talk with him about it. >> we have attorney general barr on from iowa and what is bank of america up to deciding based on religion or political p ersuasion. we don't want you as a customer. steve more is here unlike bill clinton who said i feel your pain. biden's economic messages, shut up and stop complaining. can't wait. can't wait. top of the hour. i think the most important thing in life is to stay healthy. i discovered prevagen. ore
5:44 pm
i don't want you to move. i'm gonna miss you so much. you realize we'll have internet waiting for us at the new place, right? oh, we know. we just like making a scene. transferring your services has never been easier. get connected on the day of your move with the xfinity app. can i sleep over at your new place?
5:45 pm
5:46 pm
liz: foreign policy experts of lawmakers calling out president biden for what they say is his all over the map policy on iran and israel. after iran bombarded israel this past weekend and riders is just now reporting that biden will not cut off like trump did and iran exports even after iran's attack. jillian turner at the state department with more and j illian. reporter: sanctions against iran totally $16 billion and they assist here and that money going to use it for humanitarian purposes. administration officials at
5:47 pm
least here today on defense though in the wake of iran's assault on israel. >> oftentimes the government misled them passing us and some of those reports over the past few days. reporter: six months ago the white house going over un sanctions and they're going to expire and last month they extended sanctions for unlocking $10 billion in frozen funds and at the time state deferred blame and going for the waivers. >> it's on the payment of from iraq and payments and trump administrationment reporter: president biden not the only democrat going for the policies and going for his own party and republicans right in the hot seat and voting against iron dome funding back in 2021.
5:48 pm
helps ward off on the attack and biden administration officials are now considering a whole new slate for the regime going for justice today and going to do exactly that and more for e xperts are concerned for accountabilityship sailed some time ago. liz: jillian, thank you so much. security official and now with the foundation of defense of democracy and rich goldburg. what do you make of this with the claims of holding iran accountable and why should israel stop it is behavior when iran is not been given a reason to thaw. >> that's exactly right and the reason why the ayatollah and teheran believe they could get away with cruise missiles and 200 drones and going for this administration and going for this work here and going against
5:49 pm
israel trying to isolate them and trying to reflect on the policies that led to saturday night and change nose policies. during the calculation of the ayatollah into a miscalculation and why do they keep defending giving iran $10 billion access after saturday night and why would they keep allowing the oil to flow to china and cracking down with the sanctions. liz: keep trying to blame trump but they keep doing it. the biden white house talks tough on iran and mind the s cenes, riders was reporting moments ago biden white house not cutting off the oil exports and bloom berg reported last august that -- bloom burg r eported that private officials were going to gradually relax the sanctions on iranian oil sales and iran steadily i ncreased oil experts after the trump white house saw, tried to zero out the sales.
5:50 pm
>> right. remember, according to joe b iden, american energy is dirty but iranian energy is clean and so is venezuelan energy. that make as lot of sense for our policy. let's go back to what the white house and state department in that clip have been saying and outright lie and it's a lie with zero deception and trump administration never allowed trump access to a single nickel of the money that iraq paying for electricity and required that to be put in an escrow and can biden opened up escrow account and says the iranians can use $10 billion or more for anything they want that's non-sanctionable. that's budget support. $10 billion available here, opening up $10 billion there. liz: let me stay on this. lawmakers slamming democrat senator chuck schumer for c laiming to stand with israel despite recently attacking israel's leadership from the floor of the u.s. senate. the lawmakers are saying schumer is, you know, he's holding aid
5:51 pm
to israel hostage, he's playing petty politics and israel again had more than 1200 of the citizens murdered, raped, tortured including children. people kidnapped and the biden white house is telling them to exercise restraint. we understand what's going on in gaza and don't want to see them hurt or killed and this is collateral damage and that is an issue. what the issue is that hamas wants to destroy israel. period. >> three points to make here. number one, saturday night reminded us that everything we see in the middle east from gaza to yemen all from the hand of iran. if you don't understand that by now, you're not paying a ttention. number two, chuck schumer needs to reflect on the fact that he was part of the political warfare against israel that led to saturday night and number three, he is sitting on two house passed bills that would actually shut down the money flow. he needs to let those up or down
5:52 pm
votes. liz: rich, good to seeout thank you, for this story. why do you the taxpayer. why do you have to fund npr left wing bias. if you're not given the full story to listeners and tilting the national conversation. if the conversation hurts democrats, npr suspends a veteran editor after exposing that left wing bias. we've got examples of clear bias by npr's chief executive. guy benson taking it on next on "the evening edit".
5:55 pm
5:57 pm
elizabeth: we need fox news contribute or guy benson on the story, bear with us, we like your reaction, help us out, npr suspends senior business editor uri berliner for 5 days without pay. after he exposes npr's left wing bias, but u.s. taxpayers may 90 million a year for that bias? they said he didn't seek' approval, but, there is bias at npr we're paying for. >> yes, they suspended him on a technicality. he violated some rule, he blew the whistle about what
5:58 pm
is happening at npr, he has been there 2 1/2 decades, he loves the place but he is worried it has become an activist factory, not a true journalism source. and shrinking their audience, he wrote a good piece,py he did an interview with berry weiss, now they figured out a reason to suspend him for this first time, with a warning if he speaking out again without permission, he will be gone. and we learned more about new leader of npr, she almost reads, if you look at her social media footprint, mack, a cartoon character of someone that might be running a left wi left wing bliss of npr, if they want to be some hard-core progress of activist, fine, they can be listener supports and advertiser supporters but
5:59 pm
for us to pay for the p propaganda. elizabeth: she -- let's see if they could sta stand alone out in the marketplace. show the tweets, and how boyce the new leader is. and on and. she is complaining about white men flying business class, npr according to this editor, they basically he says did not cover the botched president trump russia probe or how the covid lab leak potentially leaked out of china, did not cover hunter biden laptop appropriately. >> they were proud to not cover hunter biden. they publicly said we're not going to cover it because it's not a real story, of
6:00 pm
course, it was a rear story, he laid out his evidence, they have not refuted that evidence, every element of this reaction from tax payer funded entity has confirmed his allegations about the entity. elizabeth: pull the plug. defund it. that is what we would say. guy benti benson you are terrific thank you for joining us. >> tune in tomorrow, we'll stay on what is going on with the cases again trump, we have senator michael braun and congressman andtude tudor dixon and monica crowley will be joining us and much more, thank you for watching "the evening edit," i am elizabeth macdonald, you have been with fox business network, now time for "the bottom line" take it away dagen and brian in for sean. dagen: thank you so much emac. elizabeth: good to see
