they dent lit it out, jason jones and pastor robert jeffress. follow lou on twitter, like him on facebook, follow him on instagram and parler @loudobbstonight. thanks for joining us. i'm gregg jarrett filling in for lou. have a great evening everyone. elizabeth: so night we take on joe biden today slamming the trump administration for quote, falling short in vaccinating americans against covid-19. yes, there are glitches. they need to be fixed but critics say biden is doing, politicizing and attacks historic effort to try to take credit for it without offering new ideas except for money. joe biden and kamala harris getting vaccinated after they said they wouldn't take a vaccine under president trump. we have deneen borelli, tom del beccaro, fred fleitz and matthew whitaker. we'll get you update on

joe biden's criticisms of president trump's response when biden track record on pandemic not state of the art. scientists applaud trump's "operation warp speed" which biden attacked on the campaign trail. we have breaking news. reports coming in senator mitch mcconnell is introducing a new bill with 2000-dollar relief checks in it but with strings attached. like repealing liability protections for big tech like google and facebook and also demanding a new study on voter fraud. we'll break down the worst lockdown hypocrites, politicians who broke covid-19 shutdown rules that they demanded for everybody else. we've got even more examples of the abuse of small businesses under botched lockdowns. and, we're going to get you updated on the georgia senate runoff that will determine the direction of the country for the next four years. mudslinging has taken a turn for the worse in this race in georgia. you won't believe what democrats

are being accused of now. plus 2020's worst media whoppers. we've got the run-down. we're going to show you how the media really went haywire in a year unlike any other. and to this new concerning development. democrat eric swalwell getting support from china. chinese government backed media now defending democrat swalwell against his chinese spy controversy. we have got more on why this scandal is really worse than anybody realized. plus we're going to get you an update on this stunning success under the trump administration. rescuing hundreds of missing children, stopping violent crime and multiple u.s. cities, also at the border. now the question is this, will all this come undone under a biden administration? thanks for joining us. i'm elizabeth macdonald. the evening edit starts right now. ♪ elizabeth: okay. look who is back with us.

he is the favorite guest of ours, republican greg stuebe of house judiciary. congressman, first your take on joe biden criticizing the pandemic response. what was your take? >> we wouldn't have a vaccine today if it wasn't for "operation warp speed" and congress allocating tens of billions of dollars for the research it took for companies to research a proper vaccine f it wasn't for president trump and wasn't for "operation warp speed" we wouldn't be where we are at today in this country where over 100,000 people in florida are getting vaccinated. there is million more doses on the way across the country that would not have happened but for a trump administration and "operation warp speed." elizabeth: you know the critics are saying biden is trying to lay down a marker to get more money for this vaccine push and take credit for the success of it. just over two million so far vaccinated. it is short of 20 million projected to be vaccinated by now. the effort does need more money. that is a problem. there is this, both biden and

harris getting vaccinated after the campaign saying they wouldn't personally get a vaccine under trump. congressman, take a listen what they said on the campaign trail. watch this? >> i trust vaccines. i trust scientists but i don't trust donald trump. at this moment the american people can't either. we'll need a lot more t will literally cost billions of dollars to get this done. >> let's say there is vaccine approved and even distributed before the election, would you get it? >> well i think that is going to be an issue for all of us. i will say that i would not trust donald trump. if the public health professionals, if dr. fauci, if the doctors tell us that we should take it i will be the first to take it absolutely but if donald trump tells us we should take it i'm not taking it. elizabeth: okay. so vice president pence said of harris, quote, you are undermining public confidence in

a vaccine in those comments and joe biden was too. they were playing politics with people's lives. the question is, congressman, what did joe biden and kamala harris do to get vaccines going? what did they personally do? >> first the hypocrisy of the left know no bounds and say that be one of the first people in line to get a vaccine but absolutely they have done absolutely nothing, biden and kamala harris have done absolutely nothing to insure this vaccine has gone out to millions of americans. it is because of donald trump and his administration. congress appropriated the appropriate amount of money to the companies to do the research. there was more money in the last bill the president signed on sunday for vaccines and for them to be distributed and for them to be programmed throughout the country. so the money is there. vaccines are out. we're getting millions across the country as we sit here today. hundreds of thousands of doses are coming to florida and have been done here in florida. so absolutely biden and harris did nothing for the vaccine to go out to our country but i can

garrity you after the trump administration has left you will see them try to take credit for all of americans getting vaccinated when it has been 100% the trump administration and "operation warp speed." elizabeth: so, yeah, to the obama-biden administration enacting "operation warp speed" for swine flu, infecting nearly 61 million. did they do it for that like "operation warp speed"? critics said no. what is the take senator mitch mcconnell, reports coming in he is introducing a bill with 2000-dollar relief checks as long as there is repeal of liability protection for google, facebook and study into voter fraud? >> six months ago he said that was something was a line in the sand for him. i agree with that 100%. americans, businesses, schools, need liability protection from covid lawsuits in order to safely get back to work and insure they're not going to be sued relentlessly over covid-19, people getting covid-19. so absolutely that should be a

part of this. pelosi wouldn't have held all this negotiating up six months ago because of political reasons. she didn't want trump or trump administration to get credit for another covid package we wouldn't be where we're at today. so i'm happy that mitch mcconnell is now reviving talks about a vaccine or talks about liability protection to insure that the businesses and schools can properly open and not worry about lawsuits. elizabeth: yeah. he wants to yank it for google and other big tech. they have been accused of censoring conservatives. that is an issue too. we'll watch this one. like to move on to this republican critics say it is ironic senator schumer and democrats are demanding relief checks when democrat governors and mayors created a natural disaster in the country with botched lockdowns. what do you say? they are killing small businesses, killing the restaurant industry and hair salons. what do you say about that? >> i agree 100%.

the lockdowns is what is killing americans right now. what is killing businesses right now. it is why you're seeing all sorts of businesses fleeing california and fleeing new york to come to places like florida where they can operate safely and have their businesses opening. we've been open here in florida since may. the economy has not been shut down. actually the economic numbers that came out of florida discuss so long ago, a couple weeks ago showed it is not as bad they thought it was going to be because we opened up. why should we give thousands and thousands, millions of dollars to these democratically-run states and democratically run cities who shut down their economies for months on end. that is not the appropriate response. we need to open up to get americans back to work. elizabeth: we hear what you're saying. covid-19 is so lethal. killed 335 americans right now. hospitalizations are up for places like california. critics say we are in a pandemic. we can't afford to take care of americans but we can take care of other countries, special

projects an lobbyists. we're paying for lebanon, oman, tunisia. book clubs in pakistan but you can't really we can't help out our folks back home? >> yeah. gender studies in pakistan, the list goes on and on which is why i voted that atrocious piece of legislation. that is not what we should be focused on in congress. getting people back to work. getting americans things they need. if they are unemployed, getting them assistance they need. not 2,000-dollar checks to people who may be employed and not hurting. we need a focused approach to this. that is what congress should focus on, united states and americans, not giving billions of dollars to foreign companies. elizabeth: and countries, i hear you. yeah, we're showing the list right now. it is pretty stunning what americans are paying for when folks back home are really hurting. we have massive government waste

that senator rand paul is talking about. talk about that. he is reporting out again in his annual report what americans are paying for when americans back home are really suffering. >> when i got elected to congress the deficit was $21 trillion. it is almost $30 trillion. we doubled the amount in one year of deficits because of covid-19. we spent $1.4 trillion on covid-19 response. we can't continue to borrow and borrow and borrow money on future generations of americans and not start cutting places like this foreign aid to foreign governments that we should be focused on americans right now. if we don't do that the deficit will continue to proand social security and medicare will end up going bankrupt. elizabeth: congressman, there is also this, whether or not americans are being told the context of what is really going on with cove covid relief. earlier in the year judy woodruff of pbs, wolf bit sever attacked by nancy pelosi when

they questioned why democrats were stonewalling relief packages? why they turned down original relief proposals turning down $1.2 trillion. pelosi did a good job running out the clock the last minute, making anybody opposing bill look like bad guy. cnn doesn't report that. >> this president gained nothing with all these antics. nothing. just needlessly creating chaos because he could. and making it clear by the moment that he is completely abdicated his responsibilities as president. hear me, it is a disgrace. it's embarrassing. he is embarrassing himself. >> he could have signed the bill on time and then pushed for more money or better yet, he might have learned, leaned on his fellow republicans early and often and use his self-proclaimed deal-making skills to get a better deal in the first place. he had months to be clear,

months to do this. but he didn't. elizabeth: okay. are americans getting the full picture here, congressman? >> absolutely not. they will always say it was trump's fault. it was speaker pelosi that held up the aid this summer, that is where the fault lies. not with donald trump but speaker pelosi. elizabeth: congressman stuebe, thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. elizabeth: we have a special programing note. you want to check out this town hall, "the future of capitalism" virtual town hall with our very own charles payne. he is terrific. it is at 2:00 p.m. eastern time january 13th here on fox business. they will take questions over what "the future of capitalism" will be in a incoming biden administration as they add new regulations. send questions to fox business on facebook or instagram or email us at

investedinyou@foxbusiness.com. okay, next up, fox news contributor deneen borelli kicks off this hot story. the senate runoff will determine the direction of the country for the next four years. the mudslinging taking a turn for the worse. you won't believe what the democrats are being accused of now. that story next. >> we are faced with a choice. either we'll go with american values or go with socialism. we'll go with extremism and radicalism or we're going to go with the past towards freedom, towards reopening america, towards reopening our economy and to staving off all the radical ideas the left has had to offer.

elizabeth: look who is here with us again, fox news contributor deneen borelli. another show favorite. a week away from the georgia senate runoff will determine the direction of the country the next four years. we're seeing this georgia democrats jon ossoff and reverend rafael warnock they say they support women. they're accused of letting a hip-hop artist headlining a campaign event when that rapper made fun of sexual assault and rape in tweets in 2012. can you talk to us about this? >> it is downright disgusting, liz. you made the case just there and thank goodness you're talking about this because who knows where people get their news from these days. if they're not reporting about instances like this where this guy is joking about rape, where

there is nothing funny about a woman being raped. this is just absolutely disgusting. for them to even be associated with this guy, speaks volumes but that just tells you the double standard when it comes to democrats. there is also the big tech industry who is suppressing this news story and also the anti-trump media that is not talking about this at all. so thank you for bringing this up. elizabeth: did republican senator kelly loeffler talking about a report of mistreatment of children at a church camp that her opponent, democrat rafael warnock oversaw in the early 2000s. this story about reverend warnock's camp is so disgusting he should be disqualified from run the senate. what do you say? >> i totally agree with her. this is something that happened in the early 2000s. warnock was associated with this

church in maryland. actually he was arrested at one point because he was interfering with police, talking to people involved in the situation. warnock didn't want the police to talk to the counselors. so he interfered. there was some serious allegations that were reported at this how much-run summer camp anywhere from children not being supervised, from the people not conducting necessary criminal background checks. it is just a list of things that happened there, that should have been investigated and i don't believe anyone was held accountable for it, especially warnock because his charges were dropped. elizabeth: this comes also after questions surrounding reverend warnock over a police bodycam footage about a alleged domestic dispute with his ex-wife in march where she claims he ran over her foot with his car. she looks really scared in this video. your thoughts on that? >> yes. i have watched this video several times. i don't think anything has come about with it. she is trying to warn voters,

warn americans about her ex-husband and he is more concerned about his reputation. again these are allegations. i haven't seen anything other than what you just mentioned and what we're seeing on this video but i do believe that this should be looked into. i believe this happened earlier this year. again this is his ex-wife. judging from the video, she is terrified. she is frightened. there are children involved as well. this speaks volumes about his character. elizabeth: yeah, you're right. these are allegations. we'll stay on the story. thanks for talking to us about that. you talked about facebook censoring. facebook is accused of reportedly censoring advertisement drawing attention to reverend warnock's praise to controversial preacher reverend wright, his famous line is goddamn america. your response to this? >> my good friends are jewish.

i find these comments are downright disgusting. when you look at the fact facebook is suppressing the information. folks may not be aware of this. voters in georgia may not be aware of this. this guy praises jeremiah wright. he praises louis farrakhan. it is really outrageous he has gotten this far to possibly get into the senate which is just crazy. elizabeth: okay. deneen borelli, thank you for joining us. we really appreciate it. >> happy new year, liz. elizabeth: you too. coming up former california republican party chair tom del beccaro. we're ripping through the headlines here. he will help us break down the worst lockdown hypocrites. politicians so condescending and so vain glorious they broke the covid-19 shutdown rules they want you to follow. we're going to take you through the list coming up next. >> i'm desperate. who is going to pay for parking? who will pay my cook's rent?

>> [inaudible]. >> my people don't. you got a paycheck, didn't you? when i go to the bank do i tell the health department said it is okay? the health department said i don't have to pay you? the health department said i don't have to make a living. >> sir? >> is that what i tell the bank? so you only pay for what you need. isn't that what you just did? service! ♪ stand back, i'm gonna show ya ♪ ♪ how doug and limu roll, ya ♪ ♪ you know you got to live it ♪ ♪ if you wanna wi...

♪. elizabeth: okay. joining me now is former california republican party chairman tom del beccaro. tom, we've got more lockdown abuse. a hair salon owner in oregon now so desperate she had to sue the governor of oregon, democrat governor. can you break down what happened here? >> look this is typical example what is going on. where does she get the money to do this she was shut down inner march. that cost her livelihood. she is back open under slightly different rules. what she is suing for, look, you violated my constitutional right back in march in part because i imagine they're going to have to show proof there was no evidence that what she was doing led to or contributed to the pandemic. much like the barber in michigan and much like many of those in california. we're going to have to see how this breaks down because a lot of these judges here in california at least just roll

over for their governors. elizabeth: yeah. so she is a hair salon owner. her name is lindsey -- interesting enough, lindsey graham. she is suing oregon governor kate brown. it is 100,000-dollar lawsuit. she say the governor damaged her business with tickets and fines, extended lockdowns, terrorized her family. she said child protective services showed up at her home, interviewed her children without her being there. they threatened to place the children under child protective services to intimidate her. osha was sicced on her, deeming her business unsafe. we've seen hair salons, in other states including california being treated to what they say are like the equivalent of drug raids with local officials bursting into their businesses. what do you say to that? >> we had this in stockton, california, where these armed people show up. quite honestly, liz, this is

fueling the recall effort in california, these over the top responses. you had a great clip there of a man saying, look, how am i supposed to make a living? these over the top responses are angering people even more. if i could real quickly, this is very different scandal than most of our history. most political scandals like watergate doesn't really connect with people because it is different from their lives but when these governors all over the country go on these luxurious trips or restaurants, live the high life and do things but we have to sacrifice, that is what is really bringing this home and the over the top actions that really hurts. elizabeth: yeah. people know -- listen covid-19 is really serious. it's lethal. people know, they are working to be safe. what mcdonald's, target, costco, home depot, the big box stores are allowed to stay open but the no the little guys selling the same products and not hair salons. let's listen to what the hair

salon owners are saying is happening to them. watch. >> she did send child protective services to my home less than three days after i had opened my doors publicly. they interviewed my children without my friends. >> would you like to see my mortgage? do you want to see my health insurance. >> they burst into our salon and treated it like a drug raid. >> people need to understand. we haven't worked no income at all, for six months. no money. elizabeth: let's now show you the worst lockdown hypocrites, politicians who broke covid-19 shutdown rules in 2020. they're being accused of being phony, condescending, fraudulent hypocrites who believe they are above the laws that they demand everybody else follow. politicians like nancy pelosi, lori lightfoot going to hair salons but hairdressers have to stay shut. california governor gavin newsom shutting businesses down, dining out at a restaurant with luxurious meals people can't afford when they're on food lines. your take on the covid

hypocrites here? >> liz, great list by "national review." the two strike me the most, gavin newsom going to one of the most expensive restaurants in america while telling the rest of us we can't but then again the austin mayor, who said people ought to stay home but he vacationed in mexico. between the two of them i don't know. again, listen to what that person just said. they can't even make ends meet. these people, mayor of chicago, new york, l.a. supervisor, tell you have to stay home but they still can live a normal life. that's why people are so angry. elizabeth: all right. tom del beccaro, so good to see you. thank you so much for joining us. we really appreciate it. >> all right. happy new year. elizabeth: you too. just ahead former state department official christian whiton we'll take on this story with christian, 2020's worst media whoppers. we have the run-down. we'll show you how the media went haywire in a year unlike any other. that story next.

>> that is exactly it. they weren't fulfilling the role of investigative reporters. they went from being watchdogs to lapdogs.

♪. elizabeth: let's welcome back to the show former senior advisor in the trump and bush administrations. he is christian whiton. it has been quite a year. we started out with fires in australia. kobe kobe dying bryant dying in helicopter crash. we had a year of media whoppers. we'll show the first offenders tonight. first up "the new york times" won't run gop senator tom cotton on riots claiming it is quote authoritarianism when "the times" ran opinion pieces from authoritarians and dictators and terrorists and worse? >> it is really completely stunning when you think about it. they're running articles by russian dictators.

by members of the taliban. there are still two days left in the year. maybe they run one by kim jong-un or chinese dictator xi xinping. this is important. keep this in perspective here. tom cotton an elected member of the senate. he is on the armed services committee. he is on the intelligence committee. he served in iraq during the first days of iraq war. he wasn't making power points in afghanistan in safety like pete buttigieg. he was leading a combat platoon. he can't have an op-ed in "the new york times." the tyrants can. elizabeth: other media offenses. media joining hard left going after mount rushmore, take down mount rushmore saying it is ratist. then you got lawmakers like new york governor andrew cuomo talking about taking down statues, new yorkers say take your family's name off the tappan zee bridge in new york with what you did putting covid-19 patients back into nursing homes.

what do you say to that. >> tappan zee is indian name. that was ethnically cleansed to make room for the corrupt cuomo family. i was taught in history class early on you judge people by the standards of their time, not the standards of the future which are completely unknown and unknowable to people. the people on mount rushmore who accomplished more than anyone in today's progressive movement were exemplary by the standards of their time. it isn't just nutjobs suggesting we chisel off the picture of the, portrait of george washington or something like this. even in the defense authorization bill, they will airbrush confederate names off military base. i'm originally from new york. i'm a yankee. there are awful lot of confederate memorials but we shouldn't debate killers in history with a gun. elizabeth: killers in history. cnn's chris cuomo say about the riots, please show me where it says protests are supposed to be

peaceful when it says that in the first amendment. we've got analysts and anchors blaming the riots, saying trump is rooting for them. also we've got media throwing softball questions to joe biden who got half the questrom got during the campaign. watch this montage. >> you think he is actually rooting for violence, that wants violence because -- >> absolutely. >> it allows him to claim a law and order man tell? >> this is mostly a protest. it is not, it is not generally speaking unruly but fires have been started. >> you think wearing a mask projects strength or weakness? >> destroying property which can be replaced is not violence. >> please, show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful. >> you think the president of the united states is rooting for violence because you think it helps him politically? elizabeth: okay. dozens of people were killed in the riots. billions of dollars in private

property and community property were destroyed in the riots. where was the focus on that? >> that's right. even to this day washington, d.c., if you walk around the white house, looks like a banana republic with police barricades, businesses closed. the only people doing well businesswise in that downtown area are people who sell plywood to put on top of windows. the double standard is truly outrageous. people, it goes back to the tea party. these people who were protesting peacefully, who picked up their trash. they were called racists, demonized. fast forward to 2020. you have people, the left really has gone all-in on political violence in small efforts like attacking senator rand paul repeatedly both at his home, then when he was leaving the white house. and then there is a broad left-wing violence that is intended to intimidate some respects worked. it intimidate ad lot of

businesses to express support for radical groups like black lives matter and antifa. 2020 was the year the left went nuts. i don't think we've seen the end of the consequences because americans after all are a law and order people. elizabeth: let's move on to this story. cbs's lesley stahl of "60 minutes" denies on "60 minutes" anything, she denied the hunter biden scandal. when senate report came out in september detailing that controversy. also cnn's kristianna amanpour said there is no hunter biden controversy. your final word? >> there is documentary evidence of it. they said it was a russian plant. it wasn't. it was quite legitimate. we're talking about eric swalwell was honey-potted by a chinese spy. what do you think happened to hunter biden on his several trips to china knowing what we know about his life-style? what he wants to do in his own time is up to him but the fact

we have the least vetted person in modern history entering the oval office. that is bad for the country. they think they have gotten by with the friendly media. as long as the senate stays in republican hands. as long as there are a few honest media sources, there are, the democrats are in for quite a ride i think. elizabeth: all right. christian whiton, good to see you. thanks for joining us. >> thanks, elizabeth. elizabeth: up next former national security council chief of staff fred fleitz on the eric swalwell story. look at this democrat swalwell getting support from china. chinese government backed media defending democrat swalwell against his chinese spy controversy. we'll break it down next. why this controversy is serious and worse than anybody realized. the story next. >> it does raise the question what if anything did he divulge in terms of state secrets being on the house intel committee to this spy that he was hanging out with a awful lot who got an

intern in his office and she was raising money for? we don't have an idea. this has been hidden from the american people for a long time. swalwell because be removed from the intel committee. he had a long relationship with a chinese spy. she placed an intern in his office. hess judgment is clearly lacking. he can't be trusted with state secrets. some things are good to know. like where to find the cheapest gas in town and which supermarket gives you the most bang for your buck. something else that's good to know? if you

♪. elizabeth: okay. let's welcome back to the show former national security council chief of staff fred fleitz. fred, we've got chinese state-run media outlet, the global times, it is backed by the communist party in china, doing democrat eric swalwell's work for him, defending him about his entanglement with an alleged chinese spy. saying this is cooked up to spoil chinese-u.s. relations and swalwell is not admitting

"axios" story. what is happening here? >> it is just incredible here. there is incontrovertible facts that the chinese government, swalwell, the democrat party can't answer that makes it so serious. a chinese spy helped swalwell get elected to congress in 2012. that is a fact. this chinese spy, fang fang, placed an intern in his office. that's a fact. it is a fact when swalwell was put on the intelligence committee in 2014 he was still friends with the chinese spy and didn't know it or didn't declare it. there are all kinds of things we need answered. did he have a romantic relationship with this woman? did he tip her off after he was briefed on her being a spy in 2015? she fled the country right after the briefing. there is very troubling questions here. that is why swalwell and the chinese government, they're trying to distort the issue and blame donald trump.

donald trump is not responsible for this one. elizabeth: yeah. you pointed out that swalwell like other congressman did not get security clearances but gets to read the nation's secrets at a time whine is doing the worldwide belt and road push not to dominate the world as world's number one superpower. fred, china is also repeating swalwell's accusation the "axios" story is somehow retaliation for swalwell going after trump. what do you say to that? >> i mean it was such a silly thing for swalwell to say. now that china is jumping in, china is nervous. think know how damaging this is. i don't think this is the only congressman china tried. remember senator feinstein who was on the senate intelligence committee for a long time, her driver was a chinese spy for 20 years. think of all the things he heard while she was in the car talking on her, on her cell phone. i mean china knows this is going to lead somewhere and it is

going to hurt. i think that is why they have gotten involved. elizabeth: yeah. so senator feinstein gets warned about that by authorities. authorities gets warned yet trump gets inpeached because of fbi debunked story. letting swalwell play role of attack dog during the trump russia debunked probe when he himself was in close contact with a foreign spy potentially compromising nation's security. kevin mccarthy said i was briefed by the fbi. nancy pelosi was too. if you heard what i heard you want to keep swalwell away from house intelligence off of it. why isn't all house intelligence being briefed by the fbi? why aren't all the congressional committees being briefed what happened with eric swalwell. why? why isn't that happening? >> what usually happens in case

like this, i was on the house intelligence committee for five years the committee get as full briefing with an incident involving a member about committee, when a foreign intelligence service approach as member. there is a bipartisan discussion what is supposed to happen. clearly never was a brief about swalwell. i think there may have been a briefing in 2015 but i don't think many of the details were released because if the republicans had heard all of what we know right now they would have be demanded he would be thrown off the committee. i would like to know what nancy pelosi know in 2015 and when did she know it? is it possible that the fbi gave most of the details to the democrats and kept the republicans in the dark? elizabeth: all right. fred fleitz, you're great. come back soon. good to have you on. >> good to be here. elizabeth: coming up former acting attorney general matthew whiter with update on the trump administration stunning success of rescuing hundreds of missing children, stopping violent crime

elizabeth: okay. welcome back. let's welcome back to the show former acting attorney general matthew whitaker. matthew, always great to have you back on. first let's go at the stunning success of operation legend stopping violent crime, thousands of arrests in nine u.s. cities. will this go on? will it continue? it's a huge success? >> well it has to, liz, because as you know operation legend was named for a four-year-old in kansas city named legend taliferro. he was killed as he slept in his bed by a drive-by shooting. what prompted the federal government surging resources into kansas city, now eight other cities to address the violent crime up tick and it get the trigger pullers off the streets. the federal criminal system offers enhancements especially for returning violent criminals. so they are kept off the street for a long time. elizabeth: will biden justice department continue it? because we're seeing 90 percent

of the illegal alien arrests, criminal illegal aliens, 104,000, had criminal records and charges for things like homicides, kidnapping, murder, sexual assault. i.c.e. is dealing with that, violent crime spiking in u.s. cities. are these efforts continuing under a biden administration? >> well if they don't you will see a such a surge in violent crime across our country that the american people will not put up with it. and they will have to respond. you know one of the things i saw when i was at the department of justice was in these cities that have you know, sort of unwilling to work with federal law enforcement on enforcing the criminal illegal alien statutes as they stand today, you know, we've seen those jurisdictions have an uptick in violent crime and again, if every city becomes a sanctuary city because of federal policy, i think that will not be good for the american people because

everybody deserves to be able to sleep safely in their own bed, to be able to play in their front yard without fear of violence. elizabeth: there is also this disturbing story. hundreds of thousands of children missing in this country. u.s. marshals rescued in fiscal 2020 nearly 400 missing children in numerous states in virginia, ohio, idaho, georgia, indiana. will that effort continue? >> well, we have a obviously a human trafficking crisis. i know that your show often times highlights you know, these cases because they are, they're so tragic and they are preventable. i'm glad to see that the u.s. marshals, a lot of federal law enforcement focusing on human trafficking. you know, often times coming across the southern border but also inside of our country. so whenever the federal government can bring resources to work with the state and local law enforcement to rescue these kids out of these horrible situations that is just, that is good for everybody.

elizabeth: let's take, let's go to the border. joe biden saying he will roll back certain border security victories under trump. we have record amounts of narcotics seized, drug cartel violence at the border spiraling out of control. how concerned are you about this? >> i am, liz, i'm significantly concerned as i know you are. what this president was able to accomplish at the border was really unprecedented and many said it couldn't be done. to get mexican law enforcement and military to help with our patrolling and our enforcement of the border has reduced you know, the traffic across the, illegal including drugs. seizures are up. if you think about cocaine from columbia, fentanyl from mexico and china, poisoning many of our cities and towns this president brought attention to the border i hope is not undone in the next administration. elizabeth: let me clarify this

data from i.c.e. 90% of the nearly 104,000 illegal aliens arrested in fiscal 2020 had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges. in total those illegal aliens had more than 374,000. 374,000 convictions and charges combined. that is an average of four per person. we're talking homicide, kidnapping, sexual assault, section crimes and robbery. that is going on. drug cart tells are trying to break in with planes, boats. we saw seven vessels captured in the rio grande sector with $64 million worth of cocaine. >> the american people should not stand forecriminal illegal aliens looks in our cities and you know, we need to work together with local law enforcement on the federal side to get these folks off the streets. elizabeth: matthew whitaker, it is great to see you, come back soon. >> we will do that again, liz.
