hydorxychloroquine and zinc as a preventive measure, we have arizona senator martha mcsally, and robert ray, and. we have retired army lieutenant colonel james, much nationwide fight over reopening escalating over the weekend, protests break out in states that you would not have thought. numerous states, saw crowds facing off with police in front of small businesses opening in defiance of shut down orders, more than a dozen states and many other governors now hit with lawsuit over their lockdown orders. sheriff in a number of states are not enforcing the governor shelter in place orders, more on fight between president trump and barack obama. barack obama tried to criticized

the trump administration covid-19 response, in graduation speeches to 18 and 22 years old as this now coming in, more than 110 country including russia, and inter eu, say, yes investigate the origins of the pandemic. that started in china. which blindsided the world, we have that story and also this -- attorney general william barr does not expect a criminal probe of obama or joe biden but durham investigation is focusing on others and sketchy origins of trump-russia investigation. >> and critics taking on media full blast. a lot of headlines, stories for you, i am elizabeth macdonald, the "evening edit" starts right now. elizabeth: welcome to the show,

you are watching the fox business network. arizona senator martha mcsally is with us. senator the lawsuits that are taking aim at governors for sending their initial orders unilaterally, you say them break out across the nation, people are getting frustrated. we have small, owners and pastors. what is your reaction to that story? >> well, i just got back from arizona, good to see you. i think they should look to arizona as a model. we did not know much about the virus, president and our governor asked people to planet the curve -- to flatten the curve they did, last weekend, i got my hair cut, i got a pedicure, i went out to dinner this weekend. we have figured out how to savely open up the -- safely open up the economy. we still have to fight the virus and protect the vulnerable.

my friend is a leukemia survivor, she has to stay home while we continue to work on the vaccine, it is not one size fits all, i believe arizonans can make good choices for themselves that is a good model for the rest of the country. elizabeth: we have about two dozen states where cases go down. and 15 states they spike up, president is headed to a ford factory in michigan, it is being prepurposed to make ventilators and other ppe. sense in washington, a lot of republicans are angry with house democrats and their 3 trillion dollar aid package, he said this is where it is hitting a wall there are items in there that did not have to do with creating jobs. >> my fellow republicans in senate tried to see things from the speaker's point of view. but we can't get our heads that

far up our rear ends. and i think any fair minded american would agree, once they re read the bill. elizabeth: it would federalize elections, rewrite immigration laws it has more mentions about marijuana than jobs. and lets federal prisoners go free during the covid-19 outbreak, what do you see? >> well, 1800 pages, there is a lot. it does mention cannabis than jobs, what needed to happen, we note to focus on defeating the disease and the virus, and continuing to invest in vaccines and treatments, and ppe, but also, what will get the economy going again. it needs to be focused on that, we had a great economy before. i visited with a waitress friend with a special needs kid, she needs support to ensure they don't fall into health issues,

there people like that all over the why not work together, we did before, there was some delays to really focus on as americans, getting the economy going again. and incentivizing jobs and fighting the viewer sneus viewe. elizabeth: senator, you say work together again, 14 democrats say we don't like what house democrat bill is event rahm emanuel said stop with resistance. and start working with each other, listen to rahm emanuel here. >> i think on democratic side, messaging we too much about resistance and reopening and reluctance about reopening we should go to a message of rebuilding america, if president wants to talk about reopening we want to talk about rebuilding america. america never lost a challenge, by investing in america and americans that should be the democratic mantra.

elizabeth: senator you see, to what you said and rahm emanuel said, you see protests in states you would have have seen before. -- not seen before, in new hampshire, in maine, and massachusetts. ski seeing protests in democrat aroundemocrat-run, california. >> you have political operatives, where all they are focused on is messaging. people in my state had not seen a pay check in almost two months they live pay check to paycheck, it is now about what else do we need to do to ensure that the small businesses survive. i introduced last week that allowed ppp loans. that allows for ppe to be forgiven. it should help the small businesses get through.

chuck and nancy and their allies are just showing they are playing political games. it is about messaging. elizabeth: then we're seeing a local level. when in a have to people on the ground, have to deal with top-towdowntown ord -- top-down orders, you see the sheriff in michigan saying we're not forcing them in new york city,er de blasio saying we'll pull people out of the ocean this memorial day weekend. and central california saying they will be a sanctuary city, but final thing to talk to you about, illinois in sheriff in illinois are angry, because democrat governor there, spritz -- pritzker said i will pullback federal funding from the towns.

and cities, they will hurt the first responders. >> right, that is not the time for this kind of conflict. in these draconian measures, americans want to do the right thing, the virus came from china we did not know a lot about it. we protected the vulnerable and health care workers, now we need people to return to work while protecting their individual liberties, this is not where it needs to go, i am sorry, come to arizona, this is a great place to live and work, we have that right balance, give people information they need, and expwren rallgeneral guidance alo make their chases for their families that is what it is about. elizabeth: thank you senator. >> thank you. elizabeth: president trump firing back at barack obama for

elizabeth: welcome back, you are watching the fox business member, welcome to show could member the house judiciary, congressman guy reschenthaler great to have you on. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: i would like to get your take on president trump. weighing in on news that attorney general william barr earlier in the day, bill barr saying do not expect a criminal probe of president obama or joe biden to come out of the investigation of the trump-russia probe origin. here is what each said today. >> as to president obama and vice president biden, whatever

their level of involvement, based on information i have i did not expect mr. durham's work will lead to a criminal investigation of thurman -- of either, man, our concern is focused on others. >> i have no doubt that they were involved in this hoax, one of the worst things ever to befall this country in terms of political scandal, i have no doubt that obama and biden were involved. and as to whether or not it was criminal, i would coul think itd be serious, but i'll let the attorney general make those decisions. elizabeth: your reaction? >> well, just because a g barr said there will be no prosecution or pursue actions against president obama and biden does not mean we can't get to the bottom of what they knew

of the investigation. we know that james comey, had a -- never-trumpers, we know that they were spying on the trump organization, when he was nominee for president. that is what i'm focused on with the durham report, i want to know who knew what, and when, we know that the top echelon of fbi failed to give defensive briefings on product trump organ during that elect, they went on a fishing expedition with general flynn to try to catch him in a lie or get dirt on him, i am awaiting this durham report. elizabeth: you know, switching gears, your take to president trump fires back at obama, obama used a graduation speech to 18 and 22-year-olds over the weekend to criticize the trump administration's response to the pandemic, saying, a lot of them

are not even pretending to be in charge, the president's take on that, watch. >> look, he was an incompetent president, that all i can say. thank you. elizabeth: congressman our take on this fight? >> i think that president obama is trying to do two things, trying to deflect, it was president obama who let strategic national stock pile dwindle, and president obama who under his watch, we had tens of thousands of factories move to china, weakening our economy, and also weakening our ability too manufacture what we need here. president obama is trying too deodeflect, on political side hs concerned that president trump will win again. he will beat joe biden, who is

staying in a basement doing nothing, lets barack obama fight the fight for him. elizabeth: you know, what is interesting too, you know. democrats are attacking the trump administration here in u.s. over covid response. they are silent with china, as over 110 countries now support a probe on the covid outbreak in china, they want to look how china's potential cover-up and delays blew it up to a universal outbreak, saying that china blindsided the world, but nancy pelosi and democrat they that questions china is a diversion. >> this is a -- not a diversion, we want, to the world and house republicans and senate republicans we want to investigate china, to investigate world health

organization. but the democrats will do nothing to stop the investigation on president trump. what do we know about china? they lie about the pandemic early on, that world health organization work hand in glove with the chinese communist party. not locking down wuhan. i want to see what they did, we know they 95 percent of these cases are because china's mishandling. elizabeth: congressman great to have you on come back soon. >> thank you. elizabeth: coming up morrow attorney general william barr saying that justice department will not pursue a criminal probe of obama and biden you about focused on others, as push back is on, multiple obama officials accuse of unmasking the names of incoming trump officials including michael glynn, now flw pushing back hard saying that is

♪. the. elizabeth: push back is now on. after three years of trump russia in the media, now democrats in the media are saying, let's dial it back on looking into the origins of the trump russia probe. obama officials who also were accused of unmasking the names of incoming trump officials in the transition including michael flynn, they're also now pushing back hard saying along with the media that this is all right-wing conspiracy. obama officials were merely doing their duty to see who was talking to russians in the trump transition. the problem is, it was perfectly fine for the nsa incoming advisor michael flynn to talk to russians. but here's the thing. what the media and democrats are not talking about what is wrong with the trump russia probe to begin with. leaking names to the media trying toe convict people like -- to convict people like michael flynn and others on the trump team. let's talk to robert ray.

good to have you on, sir. senator schumer this is conspiracy talk. democrats say administration trying to distract from covid-19 when you see this what is your take what is your thinking on that? >> at minimum it is a political scandal. while the news today is attorney general will not open up a criminal investigation targeting former president obama or former vice president biden for obvious reasons unless they're was a compelling reason to do so, it cannot happen in the current environment, which is the appropriate thing unless a personal action by the attorney general but you know, what remains of course, liz, is the fact that there are a number of people present when the criminal investigation was initiated, all the way into highest reaches of the obama white house. what was left unsaid by the attorney general, the investigation proceeds against them. you're talking about clapper and

brennan and susan rice, and sally yates and james comey, a number of people and what i would look for during the course of the during ram investigation is to see just as you have suggested, first, whether people can be held criminally accountable for having leaked to the media the fact that flynn was under investigation, and second, take a look at anybody who filed an affidavit or made a statement under oath to congress about whether or not there is the potential for perjury charges on that basis to the extent that they knowingly did not tell the truth. of course we still have what remains of the fisa abuse process and the u.s. attorney, mr. durham, has responsibility for that as well. that is not to suggest that there is a criminal investigation won't yield results. it may well yield results and it may yield results with regard to holding those accountable who

were present during those meetings in the oval office during the obama administration to initiate an untoward and improper investigation into the next administration by way of lieutenant-general flynn. elizabeth: yes. abuse of power. this is over, umbrella, overarching theme of it. those officials -- >> -- to americans whether or not they can bring felony charges. i would also look for congress, specifically, senator graham, to hold hearings. if there is not going to be a criminal investigation with regard to the former president and the former vice president, there certainly should be hearings to find out you know who said what to whom, and when, under what circumstances. all of which seems largely within congresses purview. elizabeth: you know, last week joe biden denied knowing, he first denied knowing about the flynn investigation. then he admitted knowing about

it. finally he ended the week again denying knowing. but you know, here's the thing, joe biden sure knew what unmasking meant when back in 2005 joe biden said, yes, unmasking is wrong. revealing the identities of individuals in intelligence documents, he saud it is wrong. he called it quote spying, when john bolton got names of 19 americans companies unmatchinged revealed to the intelligence community. watch this. >> there is assertions made by some privately, to members of the senate, and staff members about the senate, that mr. bolton was seeking names of these individuals for purposes of his intramural fights that were going on within the administration, about the direction of american foreign policy. it has been alleged, as i said that mr. bolton has been spying on rivals within the bureaucracy

both inferior, and superior to him. elizabeth: so you see that intramural fights, intramural political fights, joe biden said, and he called it spying. here's the thing, ag barr and ambassadors, also people like mark thyssen of "the washington post" said it is legal, totally legal for incoming official the like michael flynn to talk to foreign diplomats. he is incoming nsa. these send said in his column in watch poe, whoever leaked this michael. er 39 people got his name. they were not intelligence officials. they were political officials at treasury, at the justice department, at nato, at the energy department. when you saw that what was your reaction to the level of individuals getting his name

unmasked? >> my reaction liz, was, this should be bipartisan consensus here. unfortunately i guess we won't have it but we should, look for rand paul to try to do something about this, this is the danger of counterintelligence when people with political motives act in order to damage political rivals, of a political administration of an opposing party. that is what is dangerous about this. they really ought to focus and keep our eye on that ball. that should never have happened. we need to stop it from happening in the future. elizabeth: robert, stay on that for a second because the media is now saying of course it is okay to unmask if you're talking to foreign individuals, people of foreign governments, 18,000 of that unmasking requests happened under the trump administration, 2018. that is not the point. the point is you unmask individual if you're doing it for political reasons. media also is saying this is about russian interference,

russian interference. it is not a hoax. again a distraction. this is about abuse of power under the obama administration to target individuals for political reasons, to undercut the president and his incoming team. is that how you see it? >> i do and worse than that, it also a violation of the fourth amendment. we should not be intercepting even on an incidental basis the conversations of american citizens unless you go to a judge to get a wanter to do it. that -- warrant to do this. that is why the process is so dangerous. we ought to focus on what senator rand paul is doing in terms of trying to make a correction. elizabeth: robert ray, great to have you in. come back soon. >> thanks, liz. elizabeth: just ahead, we're going to stay, we're going to stay on this story about republicans saying the media is being misleading pushing back on republicans and john durham and ag barr probing what weren't wrong with the trump russia probe and abuse of the power there. the republicans now saying that the media is not digging harder

media would report on it as the biggest scandal of our time. media is trying to claim president trump is using this as distraction from the coronavirus. that is not the case. every american is following news on that. a potential abuse of power that occurred here, that the media is derelict in their duty not investigating, frankly refusing to cover, writing it off as a conspiracy theory. elizabeth: yeah. the democrats funded hillary clinton's dnc, funded the steele dossier. it gets fed into the fbi. the fbi launches the trump russia probe. chris tear steele's own sources say he embellishes. take it with a grain of salt. a lot of stuff is hearsay, not good information. the case is starting to fall apart. then they target michael flynn. they set up a potential perjury trap for him. don't read him his miranda rights. doesn't have a lawyer at the white house interview. they circumvent the white house

interfere in the 2016 legislation. >> you know that, it is not a hoax. >> they put russian disinformation into the steele dossier. elizabeth: sorry, can anybody at cnn or any other network quote anybody who said russian interference is a hoax when they are talking about the trump russia collusion idea, it was found to be not the case by the mueller report? there was no, so you see what is happening here? bipartisan senate report says yes there was russian meddling. that is self-evident. that is understood but this story is about something much, much more. this is about abuses of power. your reaction? >> right. these are two completely different stories. if you want to see how hypocritical the media has been covering it, look at coverage of so-called russia-gate. part of the reason i think it is unfortunate that what is going on now is being called "obamagate" because i think americans are reaching

investigative fatigue. they hear a phrase, turn it off. every american regardless of political affiliation should be concerned not about unmasking here. we can give it to the media this might abnormal occurrence but it is not normal for any sort of unmasking to be leaked to the press. that is what happened here. elizabeth: kelsey bolar, great to have you on. come back soon. >> thank you. elizabeth: coming up next, again, we're staying on the story of democrats including nancy pelosi saying, talking about china is a distraction. this is over 110 countries including russia, australia, indonesia, the entire eu, now support a probe led by australia into the covid-19 outbreak in china. china is pushing back saying, do the investigation until, wait for that investigation till after the pandemic is over. we're taking all of this to retired army lieutenant colonel james carafano. he is just ahead. he is just ahead. stay right

debate whether president trump should threaten to pull money from the w.h.o., but reality, when the u.s. started to criticize the w.h.o., demand transparency, a lot of people stood up to demand cover and likewise. that is where we are today. china is very interesting. the china wants the world health organization to investigate itself that would mean a whitewash for china. the dividing line, u.s. and others say look, we want this to be an independent investigation of the w.h.o. elizabeth: yeah. japan is saying do an independent investigation. you know, it is now even russia, russia is now saying yes, probe the origins of the pandemic starting in china. all 27 countries in the eu say do it. canada, japan, indonesia, new zealand say probe. why democrats silence on it? they say talking about this is just a distraction? >> obviously not a distraction.

great powers, russia, china, they're vying for influence as international organization and trying to use them not to get their views of international norms, but push international norms aside so essentially they can achieve the policies that they want. we have a bold demonstration of this in the w.h.o., the china essential using the organization to advance china's interests. there were international health regulations that were passed after china failed to meet its obligation during the sars pandemic. if china had followed those guidelines for this, countries would have had weeks, maybe months warning but they violated it because it wasn't, china didn't perceive it in their interest. so the big dividing line here is between countries that want, yeah. to want to have china investigate it and then some just want the wto investigate it. elizabeth: w.h.o. >> yeah, right. >> here is the push behind the

scenes. that is okay. it is about who was going to be the medical superpower. it is about laboratories around the world trying to dominate drugs, trying to dominate vaccine research. vaccine research is really dangerous. cold spring harbor laboratory has a study out there, not peer reviewed yet, mit and harvard support it, you know what, media? don't rule out yet this covid-19 virus did in fact break out of a laboratory. don't discount that story yet t could have happened. that is what is going on. dangerous safety standards at these laboratories doing this vaccine research. the president is now saying the w.h.o. is basically problematic here as you're pointing out colonel. he is agreeing to fund the w.h.o. now but only up to what china is paying annually. let's listen to this. >> china paid $40 million last year and we've been paying

$450 million a year for many years. somehow that doesn't work out too well. i was thinking about bringing our 450 down to 40. some people thought that was too much. so, we're going to make a decision fairly soon. elizabeth: colonel, your reaction? >> breaking my heart here. makes it sound like i'm picking on my favorite british rock band. he is getting into a real problem here. only 15% of the organization's budget goes to pandemic response. they're wasting money doing a whole bunch of stuff doing what they don't need to be doing. he is forcing them to deal what they need to be doing which is force against pandemics. i think that is the right answer. elizabeth: great to have you on, colonel. we love your insights and perspective. we have former federal prosecutor doug burns joining us next. next. stopen road and telling people that liberty mutual customizes your insurance, so you only pay for what you need!

exonerated her. they were implicated in that. here is republican doug collins on this escalating controversy with the trump russia probe origins. watch. >> this is a problem we're seeing right now is that people are now waking up to the real fact there was an attempt to take out a candidate, then a president before he could get going. and they ought to be demanded why every news outlet is not covering this the way you have for the last few years and way many of us have been screaming at top of our lungs there was basically a coup at the highest level and now it goes right into the oval office. elizabeth: your reaction to what you just heard, doug. >> my reaction is very simple, that is i couldn't agree more about weaponizing and criminalizing politics that should not happen. what is 10 times more compelling the double standard and shoe on the other foot test. the point if you will charge michael flynn in that case and then turn around and when you suggest charging andrew mccabe, when the inspector

general said he lied multiple times. now you hear political rhetoric only in a banana republic you bring that type of case. that is double standard. the hypocrisy is beyond the pale. that is the bigger problem even than weaponizing. i agree there should be no weaponization at all, but if is going to happen, you have to do it equally, equal justice in both directions. elizabeth: here's the thing. i always said you take out the words here like trump and obama an flynn, just look at the bare facts of, do you think it is troubling, final word, quick word? >> i absolutely think it is troubling. as i said earlier it has to be looked at closely. no question, liz. elizabeth: all right. doug burns. great to have you on. thank you so much. come back soon. we love having doug burns on. i'm elizabeth macdonald. you've been watching "the evening edit" on fox business. that does it for us. thank you so much. join us tomorrow night. we will stay on all the breaking
