"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: okay. joining me now is former u.s. attorney brett tolman. let's go at it. georgia ordering a recount. joe biden's lead is 14,000. ballots counted in arizona and nevada. they're reanalyzing the ballots. we're seeing still there is a lot of talk now, more cases of voter fraud coming in. what do you think is going on? >> well you know, look the leland the legal landscape is incredibly difficult. it's a high standard to get a temporary restraining order but the recounts are as a result how close the races have become and i'm starting to think that may be where a lot of the surprise comes if there is a surprise and

that is in the hand recount, for example in georgia. they may be successful in pennsylvania as well. so liz, i think, you know, you've been on top of this issue and i think, many of us are looking at it saying it seems like an uphill battle but it is gaining some momentum. elizabeth: in arizona i think joe biden's lead is 0.7. if it slips below 0.5, there will be a recount in arizona. so we've seen, we've been doing the math and talking to, and looking at the vote count. the trump team would have to overturn 275,000 votes over spread across pennsylvania and where the counts are going on. that would effectively finding 75,000, each of those votes are individually fraudulent, 57,000 dead people. that is the issue. that is at stake? is that how you see it? >> yeah it is. they have to see something, for

example, you heard the story about individuals filling out ballots and being observed and one person came forward in arizona and saw multiple ballots being filled out. they would have to find a cache of those where it is very apparent that this is one person who is filling out multiple ballots. the dates could be, the location where it is at. there could be many factors, they have to find a cache a significant amount of those in each of those states. unless a recount comes back and they're able to sort through some of these, these issues that seem to be highlights on the individual cases. elizabeth: you know sure ain't over. it is not over. by the way the democrats are quiet now. they're pretty much silent even though they have been complaining about the electoral college and wanting to get rid of since hillary lost. the electoral college is a big factor. they're not complaining about it now as it seems to have gone potentially in their favor. we don't know yet. this is not over.

senator lindsey graham says he will investigate voter fraud allegations at senate judiciary. we want to listen to what laura ingraham played on her show about a poll worker saying yeah, she saw shenanigans going on. sheave said she was scared. she felt threatened. watch this. >> i went out to go for a walk on my break and i probably had a 150, 175-foot stretch where i was walking the biden van was parked along this stretch and i was walking to it, so about 150 feet i was walking i could see these people hand over what appeared to be white envelopes, just hand over on to this table. as i got closer the envelopes were being torn open. there were two men or two people dropping the envelopes and two people ripping them open and turning facing the van and drawing on them, marking them.

elizabeth: this individual released a sworn affidavit to the trump campaign. it has been submitted to the justice department. you know, this as we move forward we could see more store i ares like this. your final word, brett? >> liz, you're right. it hit me close to home. i have two friends who went up. looked up, they found that their names in states that they lived in previously, both instances somebody had voted for them. they hadn't done it. is it widespread? i don't know. very unusual for me to have a couple of people that i know something, you know, like that has happened. so i think democrats are starting to be a little bit worried. >> what state were they voting in? where did that happen? >> florida. elizabeth: both in florida. >> yes. elizabeth: wow, a heck of a story. hit close to home to you, brett. two friends, where two people voted for them instead you know, basically using their ballots. >> they went online.

found their name. they went online found their name and birthdate. saw this they had voted when they hadn't. what does that mean? i don't know but it is worrisome. elizabeth: yeah it is worrisome. it is concerning, throw the book at these people who are doing it. brett, really appreciate it. >> thanks, liz. elizabeth: president trump today honoring america's heroes on this veterans day. the president and the first lady paid their respects at arlington national cemetery. we're so happy to welcome back to the show va secretary robert wilkie who was with the president today. secretary, great to have you back on. you are the son of a army artillery commander and served as a colonel in the u.s. air force reserves. can you tell us what this day means to you? >> well, liz, this is a day that actually brings out two emotions in me. one as the head of the veterans affairs department in leading this renaissance that we've experienced in the last two years. but also remembering back on a

time when my father and his comrades returned from vietnam. in his case after a second tour where he was grievously wounded. and they were not welcomed. he returned after recovering from his wounds to the 82nd airborne division. the army's most decorated combat unit, and wasn't even allowed to wear his uniform off post. those were dark times. america can never go back to those times. we have to remember that a very small percentage of our population carries our freedom on their shoulders and this day, this veterans day, is about those 41 million who have done that since the first shots were fired at lexington in april of 1775. elizabeth: you know so i had an uncle who served in the vietnam war. members of my family have fought in every practically every war going back to the civil war on my step grandfather's side.

they fought for the union army. my mother never knew his father. he passed away when she was one years old. he was gassed in world war i. he suffered from that. he died afterward. this day hits so many people personally. in such an emotional way because it is really what built our country is the sacrifice of families like yours, the people that you work with and it is, basically it's a reminder to show how much people care, right? how much they care about the country. >> yes. elizabeth: final word, secretary. >> absolutely. to reflect on the sacrifices of others. one thing i will conclude this. this points to something that the president has said. we need to keep americans enthused about their history. because if we don't, if we don't keep them engaged in what made this country great, then we risk losing those sacrifices of those 41 million. this is a day of deep reflection. not on the reflection those who

served but reflection where america is headed. elizabeth: yeah. so much gratitude for the families out there who served. we really appreciate them. we appreciate you, secretary wilkie. thank you so much for joining us. thank you for your service to our country. we appreciate it. >> it is always good to be with you, liz. elizabeth: okay. same here. coming up, congressman greg stuebe from house judiciary. we've got a powerful senator, he is republican senator chuck grassley, he runs senate finance, now moving forward on the hunter biden controversy. we'll break down with congressman stuebe what is senator is now asking the attorney general to do. that story next. >> i haven't seen anything like this. it looks really bad. perhaps there is an innocent explanation but that is one of the reasons there are calls for a special counsel. ♪ ♪

elizabeth: welcome back to the show congressman greg stuebe of house judiciary. okay, here is the story for you, senate finance chair, senator chuck grassley, he is not giving up on this. he is asking the justice department to assess, whether hunter biden, his brother joe biden, james, biden should have registered with the work for a chinese conglomerate backed by the chinese government, a big part of china's belt and road push for domination around the world in various markets.

do you think the bidens should have done that? >> absolutely they should have done that and i commend the senator questioning it, calling for a special counsel investigation. i agree, there absolutely should be a special counsel investigation. if we have a special counsel investigation for 18 months basingthe document on the trump campaign that was completely false, we have a whole bunch of evidence of a lot of evidence of wrongdoing on behalf of the biden family, hunter, his brother, all the they were doing in these different foreign governments. the american people know deserve to what influence they are getting from the chinese communist party and if the chinese communist party are paying hunter and other biden family members. the special counsel should have the authority to subpoena those documents and get to the bottom of those financial documents to show the american people what was really going on. elizabeth: senator grassley is saying that this chinese

conglomerate was be chinese energy conglomerate was moving to influence u.s. policy and public opinion. this is the same charge against michael flynn, that he didn't register under fara with his work at turkey. that is how his investigation got started at fbi, by peter strzok by the way. cefc, hunter biden to circumvent the fara registration allegedly sets up a shell corporation to get money wired into his accounts. it was five million dollars starting in august of 2017, congressman. you know the issue too is, how close were the bidens to cefc because hunter biden was paid a million bucks to represent an executive at cefc charged with money laundering and bribery. that is the allegation that tony bobulinski text messages. this guy, patrick ho charged

with that. first phone call he makes after being arrested is to james biden. "the new york times" reported that. chuck grassley is holding on to this. he will not let this go. what do you think? >> absolutely he shouldn't let this go. if you look at the text messages and these emails that were recovered from hunter biden's laptop there was communication between him and the chinese communist party actors trying to set up meets with people like kamala harris and people in the government of the united states. so the chinese communist party, they can facilitate those meetings and engage those individuals in our government. absolutely i commend senator grassley and continuing this investigation. the senate needs to investigate this. they're absolutely should be a special counsel appointed to investigate all of these dealings. i can tell you that the american people want to know the truth. they want to know the facts. there is a lot of evidence out there right now that shows there was a lot of, of bad acting going on on behalf of hunter biden and the biden family.

elizabeth: what is the house going to do about it? >> the found northly thing in the house, if we don't have a gavel, there is slim chance we take majority in the house. if democrats and nancy pelosi have the gavel in the house. we can do nothing in the committees of the house. we're only ranking members of the committees. we can't subpoena documents. during the whole impeachment sham were number calling individuals to testify. the democrats wouldn't let the individuals come because they control the chamber. so hopefully at some point we'll have control of the chamber. we can investigate. we will rely on others in the senate like lindsey graham to do the investigations to call upon a.g. barr to appoint a special counsel to do the investigations because we have no power in the house to do it. elizabeth: where does this end up over in the senate? what do you think happens? >> i hope it doesn't end up where we still are today with things like the durham investigation and other things that are going on. the american people, everywhere i go in my district people ask me when is the outcome of these

investigations happening? we haven't heard the outcome of durham investigation, what lindsey graham is doing with some of these things. i surely hope it is coming soon. we keep being told that. we were told after the election we would hear the results of durham investigation. i would ask them to release if that investigation is complete so the american people know the facts and the evidence what was going on. elizabeth: all right. congressman, good to see you. thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. elizabeth: up next "the federalist" senior editor christopher bedford on this debate breaking out in washington, nancy pelosi's hold on power, it is in question. house results continue to roll in showing democrat losses. we'll bring you more on the civil war breaking out between democrats and the far left. you won't believe what is going on there. that story next. >> well if you read the biden-sanders unity declaration it is a veritable socialist manifesto, "californication" of the country if you will.

elizabeth: welcome back to the show "the federalist" senior editor. did see the numbers, chris, because nancy pelosi's job as

house speaker is tenuous. they are down to 215. eight races left. they used to be down to 232. it is wild. >> conserves and republicans are surprised the gop did considering how close the presidential election it is, up in the air it is, holding on to the senate and making gains in the house that will happen, massive gains will be really impressive. not a good thing for nancy pelosi trying to prepare herself have a more comfortable majority to, increase her number of seats to get ready for the next two years after that. she had a long-term plan. she has been bragging to the press in d.c. for years. this comes back in her face. for the fatly for her there is no one with the guts to challenge her. with the d.c. media covering for her she is pretty well protected. elizabeth: we have moderates on the conference call blaming democrat house leadership for their loss, for giving agency to

views like socialism and defund the police. and now we've got rashida tlaib firing back. this is always about power grabs, right? there is open civil war in the democrat party. james carville says all you quote, woke people on the far left, go take a nap. you're the reason the democrats are losing but now rashida tlaib is saying wait a second. you guys, basically you're the ones who are acting elitist like a swamp. we have a postelection memo from progressive groups by the way, says nothing about rioting looting cities, attacking police for violence against minorities but criticizing nancy pelosi being out of touch for showing off her freezers full of ice cream on it. v while people were losing their jobs because of the shutdown. your take on this. this is open warfare. >> reminds me what the republican went through in the '60s, '70s, and '80s, culminating with the conservative win for

ronald reagan. the tussle goes back. these are knives out for the democrats. they expect obviously didn't get across the board wins. they're going at each other. like in previous times the progressives think because they didn't go hard enough, they weren't strong enough making their case. the moderates who got massacred in their attempts at re-election they think entirely to blame on them. to blame on the progressives. nancy pelosi will try and stay out of this fray and keep a little bit above it. she already gave so much ammunition to the progressives by pushing for impeachment and refusing to condemn some of the black lives matter activists and riots that moderates have a very strong point against her. i don't see her losing power quite yet. elizabeth: and now, i hear what you're saying. now though we have the far left saying here is our choices for a biden cabinet. they have got treasury secretary would go to elizabeth warren. bernie sanders would run labor.

by the way bernie sanders has his own 100-day agenda if biden does win the presidency. he is, we know about the projections, the vote count is still going on. there is also talking about rashida tlaib to lead housing and urban development. that is their wish-list here. your reaction? >> i don't think they will get a whole lot of that. especially rashida tlaib is not good making friends with the caucus and the administration. progress serves were down and out. aoc suggested she might leave politics and go to a commune. they felt like they were being beat up on and blamed for election losses. they have gotten their talking points in a row. truth be told with slimmer democratic majority nancy pelosi has, the progressives probably had more power than they had not unlike the freedom caucus in the gop to push what they want over and over again. some things like rashid today

may be a bridge too far. elizabeth: this is going on, memo from the progressives talk about defunding the police. makes no mention of the rioting and looting. we'll dig into this later in the show with kristin tate. minneapolis, the first city to defund is now begging for help, desperately asking for help from other towns and cities for their police officers because minneapolis homicides are up double digits. people are being shot to death, assaulted, robberies are up. by the way, they cut a million dollars out of that budget over there in minneapolis for the police. now they have to spend half a million dollars to bring police in to help them as violent crime spirals out of control in minneapolis. but no discussion about that in this progressive memo. your word on that? >> minneapolis is a beautiful city. it is sitting there with wonderful bridges right on the river. when i went there to cover a during the election and lead-up it was a nightmare. it was a absolute hellscape

where streets were abandoned. simply homeless and drug addicts were out. almost every restaurant and bar was closed. me and reporter were one of three guests in the entire hotel. this was a busy night. it was a thursday night. we had to walk two miles to find a restaurant open in downtown. people from the maitre d' from bartenders were upset, fed up saying they were tired of this kind of rule this is the kind of future of defund the police offers. it is not reform. replacing the police with liberals in power instead. elizabeth: all right. christopher bedford, thanks for joining us. we really appreciate it. next up congressman guy reschenthaler from house foreign affairs on the double standard in the general michael flynn case which republican senators ripped former fbi official andrew mccabe about yesterday. we'll talk about it with guy reschenthaler next. >> they put together the play on how they were going to take out michael flynn. 19 days later, four days into

the trump administration they sneak people in to flynn's office and set him up. the reason they had to do it. the reason they had to do it, they knew michael flynn would figure out what they had done. michael flynn was former head of the defense intelligence. michael flynn is a three-star general served our country 33 years. step one of the coverup was to make sure we take out michael flynn. they did. they made a three-star general's life miserable for the past four years. you work hard for your money. stretched days for it. juggled life for it. took charge for it. so care for it.

♪. elizabeth: okay, with me now is congressman guy reschenthaler of house judiciary. congressman, great to have you back on. we caught something. it is about the double standards in the general michael flynn probe. former fbi official andrew mccabe testified that the fbi did not probe general flynn over violating the logan act when exactly that is what government documents show the fbi was pursuing general flynn on.

so we found that in the testimony. what was your reaction when you heard that? >> liz, thank you for having me on i appreciate it. please just call me guy. my reaction watching that testimony was somewhat of an outrage just as the double standard there is between those part of the democrat washington establishment and those who are not in the criminal justice system. clearly flynn got caught up in that. as a general he was coming into the transition between the obama administration and the trump administration. and the fbi went out of their way, they wanted to entrap him. they wanted to see if they could get him fired. they could gum up the works. they used this antiquated logan act, i have a bill i have to repeal the logan act to go after flynn. now they think they won the upcoming election, ben rhodes says they're talking to foreign

parties doing the same exact thing they used to go after general flynn on. so the hypocrisy is rampant, liz. elizabeth: all right. let's watch senator ted cruz really take it to former fbi official andrew mccabe who was fired for lying to government investigators about his media leaks over the clinton foundation probe at the fbi. let's watch senator ted cruz here. >> all right, you're a lawyer. have you ever answered a hypothetical in court? if it is correct that i am actually quoting it, something the department of justice frequently did wrong in this investigation, if that is what ben rhodes said if joe biden is talking with foreign leaders right nows does it violate the logan act, yes or no. >> i will not open pine on hypothetical question about what the biden campaign -- >> he is talking with foreign leaders because it doesn't violate the logan act because the logan act is

unconstitutional consider it has never been used to prosecute anyone. you authorized to use it to go after general flynn. as part of political percentcation. the reason joe biden is not violating the logan act. the reason you won't say it that was your flimsy basis to go after a decorated war here because you disagreed with president trump. >> sir none of that correct. >> which part? pick any aspect. >> we didn't investigate general flynn because we were concerned that he might violate the logan act. elizabeth: the splitting of hairs there in that statement. thunderous splitting of hairs there could be heard 'round the world. government documents show what mccabe is saying is not true. fbi officials handwritten notes from early january 2017 meeting with president obama citing peter strzok potentially writing the notes, joe biden said go after flynn using the logan act. january 12th, anonymous obama administration official

leaked to "the washington post" about flynn's phone call with the russian ambassador rights violation of the logan act. january 204. fbi official bill priestap his notes, get him, flynn to admit to breaking the logan act. it goes on and on. january 25th, fbi office of general counsel who reasonable prosecutor would use the logan act to go after flynn this is a uphill battle. first time to use the logan act like this. how can andrew mccabe to sit there what he has shown on tape to be saying? your thoughts? >> everything senator cruz said was absolutely correct. the fact mccabe sat there under oath denied it, showeds he was lying. they absolutely knew they used league began act, political tool often used but no one ever been convicted of to go after flynn and now there are turning around lying about it. this is another form of gas lighting from the left. we have to two takeawayses from

this. number one there is a double standard in washington, d.c. if you're outside the liberal establishment, the liberal establishment use whatever tools they have even the logan act and when it applies to them they flatly denied. the secondly the double standard in the criminal justice system. flynn can have his life ruined. he can go bankrupt. the fbi can make threats on his son to coerce a false confession from a three-star general. they can do that under the guise of the act, flynn was conservative and he was balking the d.c. liberal establishment. elizabeth: congressman, good to see you. thanks for joining us again. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: okay, coming up young americans for liberty analyst kristin tate back with us on the progressive "squad" still demanding defund police nationwide as minneapolis is burning. the city that was the first to defund now desperately calling other towns for help as violent

but when i started seeing things, i didn't know what was happening... so i kept it in. he started believing things that weren't true. i knew something was wrong... but i didn't say a word. during the course of their disease around 50% of people with parkinson's may experience hallucinations or delusions. but now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. the only fda approved medicine... proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinson's. don't take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. nuplazid can increase the risk of death

saw this story? >> it is horrible, liz. this summer the liberal minneapolis city council announced a veto proof vote to dissolve the police department. thankfully the plan has not become a reality. the department is bracing for a devastating one million dollar cut, also suffering from mass layoffs. morale among the officers is at and all-time low. today, violent crime in machine minn is up 20% from where it was this time last year. it has got enso bad, as you mentioned they're calling in police officers from other cities and towns. defunding police hurts the poor, vulnerable and families of color most. people who live in high crime areas, they want more protection, not less. in fact gallup found 81% of black americans don't support less after police presence. the kind of people who push these radical ideas like defund the police, they tend to be middle and upper income liberals

who generally don't have to worry about crime. these liberals are just prioritizing, virtue signaling woke political fads to liberal friends over asking vulnerable communities what they want to see in their own communities. elizabeth: let's listen to a mother, she sure is feeling, she has been feeling vulnerable. she is in minneapolis. we aired this couple months ago on our show. we're going to show it again. saying please help us. where are you as gunshots fly outside and helicopters fly-over head i've got little children. watch this sot. >> i hear every little thing that is going on, police sirens, like the helicopters, guns shooting, everything. i have four children. i will sleep with them all in my room because i am scared because i'm terrified something is going to happen to them. come here. meet with us. face us. stay here for a weekend. for the loved god just come here and say something to us, the

people that are frikin' voting for you depend on you to take care of us. where are you? show your face to us! do something! don't just sit there to let the city go down to the ruins! elizabeth: well that is what is happening, right? >> it is so sad, liz. the people pushing this defund the police nonsense are so out of touch with the people who are truly vulnerable to crime. not just that. a lot of the people pushing this defund the police notion are just total hypocrites. for example this week an official in portland who is a big advocate of defund the police, says that most 911 calls are unnecessary, she called 911 herself when her lyft driver canceled her ride. this is another example of liberal hypocrisy. these people want open borders, yet they lived in walled in

gated communities. they want no school choice but send their own kids to private schools in limos and they want to defund the police. of course most of the people pushing for this can afford to live in safe neighborhoods. many of them including celebrities have their own armed security. that is so sad. they're not prioritizing underserved families being hurt by the poor policy. elizabeth: minority communities as you pointed out. >> exactly. elizabeth: this is why there is burgeoning growing civil war with the far left versus democrats because the moderates are saying your defund the police push is slamming voters nationwide in districts that we are now losing. but, so, do you, do you agree with that? i mean we keep hearing that but the progressive left is saying no, we are in the right. continue to defund. now joe biden may be calling for a national commission to study what is it going on with the police departments. i think maybe the studies should be look what is happening in the aftermath of these decisions.

what do you think? >> you're exactly right. a lot of minority families, working-class people living in the inner sis are waking up to this. that is why republicans did better than expected last week because these radical democrats are not appealing to working-class people and those vulnerable to crime. we'll see the civil war play out in the democratic party but the further left these folks move the more they will lose their valuable constituency to them. elizabeth: all right. kristin tate, thanks for joining us. it is good to see you. >> thank you so much, liz. elizabeth: next up former california republican gubernatorial candidate, john cox, he will break down a story that is tied to the defund the police push. a new pentagon report shows that drug cartels are a threat to mexico's national security, the border and u.s. cities. unfortunately getting worse. that story is next.

>> when you lose control of the border with no border patrol on the line, more drugs come across the ports of entry that won't be caught. more people will die of opioid overdoses. don't make sense you will take away the border security that this president has won and keeping america safe. great for us!ecause ous but not for your clients. that's why we're a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. so, what do you provide? cookie cutter portfolios? nope. we tailor portfolios to our client's needs. but you do sell investments that earn you high commissions, right? we don't have those. so, what's in it for you? our fees are structured so we do better when you do better. at fisher investments we're clearly different. and i live in san francisco, california. our fees are structured so we do better when you do better. i have been a sales and sales management professional my whole career. typical day during a work week is i'm working but first always going for a run or going to the gym.

elizabeth: okay, with me now is former california republican gubernatorial candidate john cox. john, so this, you and i have been talking about this, and now it is coming to pass, a new report from the pentagon showing drug cartels are a threat not just to mexico's national security but to the u.s. border and u.s. cities and this new report says it is getting worse. what are your thoughts? >> it is and great to be with you again, liz. it has been a wild week. this report is extremely troubling. let's face it, this is not a right or left issue, conservative or liberal issue. this is about public safety which is the first role of government. let's face it. and the idea that these gangs and these cartels are now killing journalists in mexico. mexico is relatively ungoverned at this point in time.

we need to make sure the security is strong. i saw your last guest, the kind of extremism that seems to per say people on the left. the one thing i'm ken couraged about here, liz, is that last week, california voters rejected a lot of that extremism. they denied this move to end cash bail. they killed affirmative action, race baiting that goes on with that. they killed a big tax increase and i think they will rebel against this effort that to lesson border security. liz, i have a 15-year-old daughter, a beautiful young lady. there is a lot of human trafficking as well as drug trafficking that goes on the border here. i'm only 30 miles away from the mexican border. i want to make sure we have a wall. i want to make sure we support the border patrol. i want to make sure the wall has a big door in it so we have people we know can come into the country, can become americans

and contribute but border security is something we can't let fail. we have to do something about that. at the same time, we also do something about this sanctuary city movement which is the next thing to fall in california. elizabeth: you know people are pro-immigration. you know -- >> they are. elizabeth: you can be pro-immigration and pro-border security. being pro-immigration is not the same thing as border security. what we're seeing nearly a dozen journalists in mexico getting shot to death. three in the last few weeks as you mentioned. we see mexico's homicide per capita rate higher than the middle east. pentagon reports that the drug cartels in mexico, behind all the heroin, most of the cocaine, fentanyl coming into the u.s. they're using drones, tunnels, planes and boats. just last month the mexican army tracked a plane caring 57 kilograms of who heroin and going cain trying to break in.

as the border wall want up. as trump did 400 executive orders on border security. they have done all that. they try to bring drugs in via vegetables, medical supplies, home goods and trucks and more. >> right. elizabeth: we see it time and again, so i'm just not, you and i talk about it, john, just not seeing it on the radar screen in other media or washington. your thoughts? >> well it is threatening our young people. let's face it, liz, the war on drugs, putting people in jail for drugs is not the answer. we've got to get treatment. the extremists in sacramento want to give out free needles to people that live on the street. the aidea is to avoid hepatitis. the same time we are sending the wrong message. interduct the border. make sure drugs are not coming across. at the same time we have to attack the demand in this

country. i have a young teenage daughter. a lot of other parents are worried about this flood of drugs that could come into the country especially if some of these security apparatus is dismantled in the next few years. we've got to make sure we keep these drugs out of this country. we can do that, at the same time we also attack the demand for it. we treat drug addiction. i really repel against some of these efforts to you know, legalize drugs. it is really kind of privat frightening for a parent. elizabeth: john cox, great to have you on. the come back to see news thank you, liz. >> happy veterans day to all of you out there. i am elizabeth macdonald. you're watching "the evening edit" on fox business. thanks so much for watching. join us again tomorrow night and we hope you have a good evening. ♪ ll connell mcshane in
