ocasio-cortez accused of hyping and quote politicizing what ocasio-cortez said she endured during the capitol riots. she was no in the building. a mile away in another building a republican congresswoman knows about this because her office is two-doors down from ocasio-cortez's office. also a dozen top republican senators warning homeland security that president biden freezing deportations could turn the entire country, quote into a sanctuary nation. this move effectively results in a new catch-and-release program for dangerous criminal illegal aliens. house oversight republicans want answers why construction on the border wall has stopped as it helped stop human smugglers and drug traffickers. thanks for joining us. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show.

you're watching the fox business network. let's get right at it with former national security council chief of staff fred fred fleitez. china is being warned that any attempt to seek independence means war. how serious is this issue? >> liz, it is serious, i don't think china is ready to invade taiwan but this string of prove provecations against taiwan since innaguration day, china see as weaker u.s. president. to expand belligerent activities around the world and to get away with it. i'm glad president biden sent uss john mccain into the taiwan strait. it suggests we have to defend

freedom of navigation and not recognize taiwan's illegal occupation of territory in the south china sea but -- elizabeth: taiwan is the u.s.'s ninth trading partner. it is an important relationship. the trump administration did bolster its relationship, the u.s. relationship with taiwan. china just stepped up its military activities. flu 15 flew 15 warplanes into taiwan's no-fly zone including eight bombers capable of carrying. we'll knock out of our constitution any thought of unification with china. what do you say? >> the president elected in 2016, she consistently sad the rip with china has changed. the ambiguity, we're one country, two systems. she moved away from that. i don't know whether the taiwan

east government will agree what you just said. there is a possibility. but i will say the willingness of the taiwanese leaders to accept this ambiguous relationship, don't want to say they're independent, that is drifting away, because the people of taiwan are so angry what happened in hong kong and they are worried they could be next. elizabeth: dni john ratcliffe warned congress last fall that china is ratcheting up the influence campaigns inside of the u.s. also sources are saying, china is pushing hard on europe, on africa, on the theater it is in region in asia. president biden has not yet spoken to china's xi xinping. fred, what is your take on the state department spokesperson ned price, saying yes, the u.s. absolutely sew lid solidifies support of taiwan but reafter firming the one china policy? that is the official policy on

taiwan that it is not an independent nation? >> i think we're seeing the biden administration is prepared to walk back the moves towards u.s. recognizing chinese independence under the trump administration. biden plans to use traditional diplomacy to work with regional states that means our tariffs are going to be dropped. the biden administration wants to make the environment the priority. what will we trade away with china to get a deal on the environment? trade, human rights, security? -- wrote about this in "the wall street journal." china will not give away concessions on the environment for nothing. there will be a high price. elizabeth: that's right. so we're seeing that too. how much did trump reset the table on this with taiwan? because secretary of state mike pompeo lifted honk standing restrictions on contact between officials of the two governments. so how important was what the president trump did in resetting the table here? what was the impact?

>> it was huge. it really angered leaders in beijing that u.s. officials can now officially meet with leaders of taiwan. our leaders have met with leaders of taiwan for years but we wouldn't do it in taiwan. we would do it in hotels in the u.s. and other countries. it is a charade we would go through because we wouldn't want to offend beijing. it was time to end that charade. i'm a little worried that president biden will return to it. >> you know the history has been that a foreign nation will always do something to disrupt a new presidency. is it going to be china or is it going to russia or is it going to be middle east? let's take on russia first. you're air force general of todd walters, chief of european command, saying russia can step up dough something, to spur a crisis overseas to deflect the

internal crisis in russia over the political dissident alexinal von any. >> we know europe doesn't want to challenge russia. president biden is interested in close relationship with europe because he has other concerns. he wants to keep europe happy to get back no in the iran nuclear deal. i'm dubious we will be tough on russia under this administration. elizabeth: president biden ending u.s. support for the saudi-led war in yemen. it caused human suffering. your reaction to this story? >> it concerns me that the delicate process president trump put together in the middle east, united arab world against iran and getting them to forge relationships diplomatic

relationships with israel. this is all in danger because biden wants to punish saudi arabia and egypt. we'll have differences over human rights but i think that those steps in addition to biden's foolish decision to rejoin the nuclear deal, it will do a lot of damage to stability in the middle east fred fleitz, good to see you. >> good to be here. elizabeth: coming up former state department official christian whiton, did you see the story social media is doing with taking censorship to a whole new level? it is about censoring information about covid-19. senator ron johnson wants to know why google's youtube censored senate testimony on covid-19 treatments? yes, google went there, yes. >> this is dangerous when you have censorship of information. louis brandeis, supreme court justice in decision almost 100 years ago, 1927, dealt with

falsehoods and fallacies that could cocause harm, the remedy is more speech, not silence. that is wise back then but we're moving in the opposite dregs now. uhhh... yes. huh... what happens in this one? seagulls. oh, i like it. how are you doing?

♪. elizabeth: let's welcome former state department official christian whiton. it is good to see you again. senator ron johnson is now saying we're in a really dangerous, terrible, dark

chapter in both american journalism and american medicine. he is saying google's youtube censored two videos of senate testimony before senate homeland security on repurposed drug treatments that are cheap that could work in stopping covid-19. we're talking ibrumetin. your reaction to this story? >> senator johnson is right to be concerned. he is a hero to this -- this is dangerous censorship. this is not a crackpot idea from someone thinking putting tinfoil on your head would cure you from covid. this is information presented to the united states senate coming from experts. what he is saying, not all but many americans still believe information is good and people can make educated decisions whether something is valid.

whether the source it comes from is someone that should be trusted or distrusted. it is a dangerous area for tech companies to be in, to go basically overboard in censoring information that the american people are just not going to put up with it. elizabeth: okay. let's break it down. of the dr. pierre curry, he worked on the front lines developing groundbreaking new treatments on and he testified about it. cheap 20-dollar per pill drug that treats tropical diseases caused by parasites. he is talking about that versus remdesivir, which is 3200 per treatment? $3200 per treatment? there is a study from argentina about 800 health care workers got ibufermectin an it worked. the nih is it neutral on the drug. why talk about it? who does google think it is in

censoring the stuff. who does youtube think they are? >> exactly. it is out of control with silicon valley think they know better than ordinary individuals and own consumers, united states senators and doctors. this is not some obscure far-out thing. incidentally there has been so much complaining about conspiracy theories. how do you generate conspiracy theories? by censoring information, telling people they are too stupid to decide for themselves. that you cannot decide for themselves. that is how you generate conspiracy theories. people are smart in our country. elizabeth: go ahead, finish your thought? >> these tech companies, you know, google is only in a little bit of trouble when it had a monopoly in search and mobile advertising. as these monopolies expand both horizontally vertically, get into the censorship division, i

think it was elon musk who said americans of both political parties are not going to like silicon valley bigwigs deciding what information they can or cannot access. elizabeth: this is about people's lives. we're in the middle of a pandemic. we need to reopen the economy. we need to keep people safe. who does youtube think they are stopping information about treatment that could save peoples lives? this will cause great outrage against silicon valley social media companies. now you have democrat senator amy klobuchar out with a sweeping new antitrust bill that could slap 15% of revenue fines on the likes of google, facebook, apple and amazon. so that is a big deal. she is the new chair of senate subcommittee on antitrust. let's move on to this story. christian, americans keep getting confused over the guidance of what top do about covid-19. they're frustrated. they're sick much it. they have been in lock down and shutdown mode for nearly a year.

let's listen to dr. fauci. critics say is flip-flopping and confusing americans for some time now. christian, you and i talked about it was 15 days to flatten the curve. now that has become indefinite and open-ended. let's listen to this. watch. >> right now the risk to americans is really low. it could really explode into something much bigger. right now at this moment there is no need to change anything that you're doing on a day-by-day basis. >> right now we're seeing all of these school closures around the country. is that the right move for children and families? >> i think what is going on right now is generally an appropriate approach. close the bars and keep the schools open is what we really say. right now people should not be, no reason to be walking around with a mask. this is a physical covering to prevent droplets and virus to get in. if you have a physical covering with one layer you put another layer on, just makes common

sense. elizabeth: okay. so, that was pretty confusing. what do you think, christian? >> you know, two quick points. well, one the big one is the experts have been wrong again. our oligarchy in washington are supposed to expert but they aren't. we need more accurate information not just whiplash and accurate information we're on right side of the bell curve. cases have declined. deaths have declined. as we get more and more vaccinated people 65 and older you will see mortality drop to zero. we need accurate information how we can reopen and starting in early spring but we're just not getting that. elizabeth: get america vaccinated. get america reopened. stop with the distracting washington fights. we get it. dr. fauci is in a tough position. what is happening now there is push and pull on information given to the american people. they are frustrated. they have been in shutdown mode.

they're sick of it. they know that covid-19 is dangerous and lethal. they want to be able to protect themselves on their own and go to work to put food on their tables for their families. of the christian whiton, great to see you. come back soon. >> thanks. elizabeth: next up, former acting attorney general matthew whitaker on new insights from government documents revealing just how the fbi used carter page as a gateway to spy on the entire trump campaign. what you will see in the timeline is just how far the fbi abuses in this case went. the story next. >> there has been a lot of stonewalling going back many years. i actually remember two years ago in september of 2018 president trump started pressuring these people in the intelligence community to start releasing these documents. unfortunately it has been just one stonewalling effort after another.

you're clearly someone who takes care of yourself. so why wait to screen for colon cancer? because when caught in early stages, it's more treatable. i'm cologuard. i'm noninvasive and detect altered dna in your stool to find 92% of colon cancers even in early stages. tell me more. it's for people 45 plus at average risk for colon cancer, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask your prescriber or an online prescriber if cologuard is right for you. i'll do it. good plan.

we do this, together. bounce forward, with comcast business. ♪. elizabeth: with me now, matthew whitaker former acting attorney general. great to have you back on, matthew. we have the timeline of events based on government documents compiled by reporter paul sperry. it shows how the fbi repeatedly, looks like they purposely

disregarded fbi's own documentation, their own memos, the cia memos, that carter page was working with, cooperating with both the fbi and cia for nearly a decade but they used carter page as a gateway to get a fisa wiretap in order to do a one hop through carter page to the entire trump campaign via carter page's devices. what do you say? >> yeah. i agree with you, liz. it is good to be with you again. what i saw in this recent reporting putting this timeline together, not only did they ignore the fbi's previous interactions with carpetter page and also their knowledge, the fbi's knowledge of the cia's interactions with carter page, that he clearly was cooperating they also seemed to just be desperate to get any way, to get into the campaign, to get some surveillance. let's remember, that these fisa applications are often times

used against foreign nationals who are in the united states or elsewhere who are agents of a foreign country. to get one of these fisa warrants, liz, you have to show, make a demonstration that there is probable cause to suggest that carter page was an asset of russia, was a foreign agent of russia. it is very clear the only evidence of that was the steele dossier which was completely false and made-up. elizabeth: so, that's right. and also the timeline shows that the fbi wiretapped anyway and misled the fisa courtneyaway by omitting the breadth of the steele dossier, how much it was financed by the democrat party and the hillary clinton campaign. how the campaign planned to use the research toe contest the 2016 election if hillary lost. you know what else is coming out too, matthew, the cia told kevin clinesmith repeatedly, they told

the fbi repeatedly, carter page has been working with us since 2008. so the fbi knew that also since 2009. clinesmith goes ahead and doctors a cia email anyway to get the fisa wiretap. what do you think? >> this violation of constitutional rights of carter page is really abhorrent. what the fbi did to obtain this warrant has been not only well-documented but also the court has been very critical and harsh on the fbi. unfortunately i just don't feel like a lot of americans feel there has been accountability for those up and down the chain of command that allowed this to happen. as you point out it was not only the initial filing where they got the fisa warrant but the three renewals over the course of almost a year where they would, went back to the court, essentially continued to state that carter page was an asset of russia, was a foreign agent. it just wasn't true. it was based on as you point out

paid for disinformation by the hillary clinton campaign that was going to use it as a basis for a political attack. not only during the campaign but also used to move the narrative away from her server and 30,000 emails that was deleted to try to put the attention on this narrative that there was collusion between the trump campaign and the russian government which just wasn't true. so it is really disgusting moment in american history. elizabeth: yeah. i mean using secret court, the fisa court, that is meant to catch terrorists on a political opposition campaign. by the way, kevin clinesmith doctored and falsified that cia email in order to get a fisa wiretap late in the game in 2017 after the fbi knew the trump-russia probe investigation and the case was falling aare part. they knew it. james clapper, testified there was no there there. james comey testified there was no there there. so did peter strzok.

peter strzok indicated that. so did lisa page. move on to separate story. hunter biden hired a new attorney to assist with his federal defense. that attorney was christopher clark. he worked for the new head of the head of the just at this time department at the same law firm. now these two guys, know each other from latham watkins. hunter biden has a doj case against him reportedly on allegedly involving money laundering. we don't know if hunter is a target of that, but also alleged tax evasion charges. your reaction to this story? >> just another reason why a special counsel needs to be immediately appointed. we've talked about it before. i think this investigation needs to be probably put in a separate investigative team that, special counsel's office that could do it without worry that the

higher-ups whether in the criminal division or whether in the attorney general's office or the deputy attorney general's office, that you know, that investigation is aboveboard and is run to ground and if there are charges that need to be brought that they have the discretion and the authority to bring those charges but you know these types of con incomes unfortunately with the way people move in and out of government sometimes are unavoidable. i hope that both these individuals do their professional duty and if they have to recuse, they recuse. elizabeth: there is no evidence that mcquaid had anything to do with hunter biden at the law firm. final word on attorney general merrick garland, will he have to anticipates questions about this the doj probe with hunter biden and whether he keeps it going? >> his confirmation hearing will be must-see tv. mayor rick garland will have to answer difficult questions about the hunter biden investigation, how his office will handle it

how the department of justice can continue to go after violent criminals because as we saw for eight years under the obama administration a lot of the seeds of some of these major cities problems were planted during the obama administration. lack of federal enforcement of violent crimes including gun crimes. elizabeth: matthew whitaker, great to see you. thanks for joining us. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: we're after the bottom of the hour. you're watching the fox business network. we have gop strategist ford o'connell. he is fired up on this one. new york governor andrew cuomo's team is at it again. they are under fire for bullying again, for unhinged, off the wall personal attacks, now this time on u.s. congressman who have been demanding the justice department subpoena governor cuomo for whitewashing, covering up thousands of nursing homes deaths from thousands of covid-19 patients that governor cuomo ordered back into nursing homes. the recovering patients were put back in the facilities.

this story is next. >> we has this order where says, yes, these nursing homes have to take sick coronavirus patients back into the nursing homes and it wasn't until the end of april, that is when the "new york post" and others took notice. wait a second, there are thousands of these nursing home residents are dying. andrew cuomo's order sent them there. that is when a bunch of funny business started to happen in new york state's department of health, when they changed the way they actually count nursing home deaths in the state. they subsequently deleted the existence of andrew cuomo's order from the internet. attempted to scrub it ever existed.

justice department subpoena governor cuomo over the coverup and whitewashing of thousands of nursing home deaths connected to como's executive orders. this is what new york's taxpayers are paying for. what do you say? >> well there is no question that the cuomo administration is trying to circle the wagons here because there is more information comes out, for months we were told by the media that governor cuomo was the modell of governance in the time of coronavirus. theying cooked books of 50% when it comes to nursing home deaths. that tells me may only be the tip of iceberg. elizabeth: como's team is doing full court brits to talk about everything but como's march order putting recovering nursing home patients back into nursing homes. the coverup of nursing home deaths. the new york attorney general said they undercounted it by 50%. 4,000 nursing home deaths after the executive order in march. we have more than 320 nursing

homes had zero covid infections. all of sudden those nursing homes exploded in covid cases. the most galling part of this, critics say, ford, is this. cuomo's office in july, put out a report, you know what his executive order is not toe blame. blaming nursing homeworkers and nursing home visitors. this is the same guy that said janice dean should stick to reporting the weather. that is sexist attack after janice dean lost her in-laws to covid-19. why are we paying this as a party? >> you make a great point. essentially governor cuomo and his administration is blaming everyone but themselves. we all know the buck stops here. what happened with janice dean and her relatives was really a terrible situation. the fact they're going to attack someone because their relatives

died is totally unfor giveable here. what happens media has a lot to blame not just the como administration. they held up cuomo as doing something right they were blinded by their hatred of trump before the election. new yorkers are finding out what is under the hood. though will not be happy going forward. elizabeth: let's show how the media covered, by the way hollywood celebrities said cuomo should be president. show how the media covered what happened with governor cuomo. watch this. >> we're grateful across the country there are responsible leaders who are stepping up. one of them provided clear direction and memorable power points, new york's governor andrew cuomo. >> even lifelong republicans tell me, they look at cuomo, god, there is a leader. >> having heard you day after day after day, after press conferences i have to wonder what it is like to be within your shoes with the weight of this responsibility and sheer drop exhaustion you must be

feeling right now? >> i hope you are able to appreciate what you did in your state and what it means for the rest of the country now, what it will always mean for those who love and care about you the most. i'm wowed by what you did. more importantly i'm wowed how you did it. elizabeth: at this time, the cuomo administration was withholding information about covid-19 deaths in nursing homes. we had governor cuomo rather blaming the media, blaming the federal government, blaming trump, blaming nursing homeworkers, blaming nursing home visitors, blaming everybody but himself and his executive order. that executive order said that you cannot test covid-19 patients, nursing homes, you can't do that, before you have to take them back in. so chris cuomo at one point gushed, obviously i will never be objective but you're the best politician in the country. your word on this, ford? >> well i mean the media's

bromance over governor cuomo's handling all came because they didn't like. they called my home state governor, ron desantis, an idiot and dealing with more people and nursing homes. did it right. it was terrible governance. 2 caused thousands of people to die, now he doesn't want to say the buck stops with him. if you want to be governor of a state, the buck stops with you, you have to take the good, bad, otherwise. right now governor cuomo is running to his own incompetence. elizabeth: you know what the issue is, ford, final word, new yorkers do not know the full extent of this problem because the new york attorney general report was a sample of nursing homes. it wasn't all nursing homes. this could be even bigger than we realize. 12% of nursing home deaths are from covid-19 in new york state. new york state is the only state in the country that did not count you know, patients dying in hospitals from covid-19. they did not include those in

the nursing home counts if they came out nursing home went into the hospital. ford, we don't know the extent of this. we'll have you back on. good to see you ford o'connell? >> thank you, emac. elizabeth: next up fox news contributor deneen borelli on republican congresswoman nancy mace, is saying wait a second alexandria ocasio-cortez, wait a second i'm sick of you politicizing everything. cortez said she enduressed capital riots in an instagram video post as if she was on the front line when cortez was not in the same building as the capitol building. she was a mile away in another office building. we'll break this down next. >> i said that there were no rioters in the hallway of cannon, i'm two doors down. she lost it. she hasn't been dealing with reality. important we take members to task when they're not being honest with the american people. this division is hurting our

out on it. she has an office near hers. she said that no one breached the hallway. so ocasio-cortez is lying. she needs to be held accountable because what she is doing, liz, she is politicizing what happened at the capitol. it is reckless and it is dangerous. she is being called out for it and she should be held accountable for it. elizabeth: court -- ocasio-cortez described siege, claimed a mob was banging at her door. she thought to herself everybody is over, when it was a capitol hill police officer coming to tell her to vac wait. no one else was in the holloway. let's watch this. >> i just start to hear these yells of, where is she? where is she? and, i just thought to myself,

it is propraganda. it is dangerous and reckless. where is the mainstream media to call out ocasio-cortez and report the truth? she also accused senator cruised cruz him almost having her killed at the riots. she saying one reckless thing after another. she is trying to gain sympathy as relating herself as a combat war veteran. there is something wrong with this woman. something going on there. she is a representative in congress and what she is doing is dangerous for the country. elizabeth: all right. deneen borelli, thanks for joining us. good to see you. >> thanks, liz. elizabeth: coming up retired i.c.e. acting director ronald vitello. we have a dozen top gop senators including senator chuck grassley and ron johnson warning that president biden's temporary freeze on deportations, they're

sanctuary nation. what do you say? >> i applaud them for taking this on. it is the responsibility of that committee to oversee the department. so the idea that we're going to pause deportations for 100 days with very narrow exceptions, they have a exception for national security threat and convicted aggravated felons. that leaves everybody else on the list. last year i.c.e. deported 103,000 people. it was lower year than previous because of covid. 93% had criminal background. some were convicts and had been arrested and charged with serious crimes. if the number stayed in place as it was, that is the kind of scenario you would have several people who were gang-bangers, pedophiles, charged with murder. they would be let go under that scenario of the 100-day pause. elizabeth: you know senator dick durbin, a democrat said, america cannot revert back to the belief that immigrants are enemies but

hispanic immigrant families say that is not the point. that is a distraction. that is basically, he is just basically muddying the waters here. everybody is for legal immigration. this country is built on immigrants. what we're talking about is what is posing a danger to american society because what these senators are saying is, if you did a so-called new catch-and-release program for criminal illegal aliens they could start pouring into sanctuary cities. what do you say? >> no, i think that's right. you will encourage people to come to the border. you will encourage criminals to go to these places where they know they will have sank wear. under thedsanctuary. under terms of this memo everybody not a convict or terrorist. they have permission to make arrests in the cities. they would have in fact sort of a sanctuary scenario across the country. it is not a good idea. i applaud texas and arizona pushing back on this idea. it is a bad one. it will cause a surge on the border. we're already seeing increased

activity. we know there are caravans on the way. we have sent a signal out we're going soft on immigration in the united states. i respect dick durbin but the immigration law hasn't changed. when you are criminally involved in the united states, it's mandatory for the i.c.e. to hold you in detention. the immigration law has not changed under this policy. you can't change the law with a mere memo. that is part of the problem we have here. the framework is still vulnerable to abuse on the asylum side with children and families coming to the border with their children. that needs to be shored up. the legislature needs to take that on. elizabeth: we hear what you're saying. by the way texas, what you're saying, texas and arizona have sued the biden administration over this 100 day freeze. they want, these two states want to knock it out permanently. a federal judge put a hold on it, a federal judge in texas. tom homan explained it this way, a ms-13 gang member comes in, charged, has a criminal record. is charged with a new crime.

this new policy means that i.c.e. would have to release him, is that true? >> that's true. there is no exception in the memo if they have not been convicted of what they call aggravated felony. that is a long list of crimes. if they're just merely in the country illegally, but also ms-13 which we know is deadly violent, they would have to be let go in terms of the memo. another thing they did on 21st. that memo came out on 20th. they ended migrant policy with mexico. that is one of the greatest tools we had. it was effectively working. now that is off the table. they will study effective way to stop people abusing the asylum system. they are taking off the accords with the northern triangle. you will encourage people to come from the third world locations to the border. elizabeth: all right, ron have it vitello thanks for joining us. >> good to be with you jack same
