6:00 pm
>> reporter: you to got it right. david: all right. [laughter] i seem to remember that place. grady trimming, great to see you -- trimble, great to see you. have a great weekend. that does it for us on on "fox business tonight." i'll be here all next week, to tune in -- so tune in again next week. "the evening edit" starts right now. elizabeth: okay, not just one, but two bombshells hitting governor andrew cuomo of new york at once. the first, a report that the cuomo team rewrote and altered an internal state report last year, last summer to hide and cover up the true death toll in order to make cuomo look better. cuomo aides did it because they even feared for their jobs if they did not go along, that's according to "the new york times." and a second story, a cuomo accuser goes public with harrowing details and how cuomo allegedly tried to groom this 25-year-old for sex. and another woman who accuses
6:01 pm
cuomo of sexual harassment says, quote: he's a monster. tonight, we debate, does andrew cuomo survive this politically? with us tonight, jim trusty, congresswoman nicole mall ya tackies along with tom homan and art del cueto. plus, john cox and anna gillette. the scandal happening right now, details keep getting worse. who exactly orchestrated the cover-up to make cuomo look better right when cuomo was coming out with his book on how he handled the pandemic? and right when the media launched cuomo into international celebtive status? to the biden administration continuing to downplay the border crisis. we've got breaking news. house republicans saying it's not just a crisis, it's a national emergency. shelters are now at quadruple capacity. what's happening, there's frustration that these distracting d.c. fights over
6:02 pm
semantics that is, quote, a channel. but the biden team privately admits this is the worst crisis in a generation. the debate, are they trying to do a cancel culture on the term border crisis? and to this double standard, democrats like alexandria ocasio-cortez and elizabeth warren, where are their visits of shelters to complain about those facilities like the same trips they made under trump, and why are democrats blocking hearings on the border crisis despite holding multiple hearings on what was going on at the border under trump. today trump blasted president biden for the, quote, tsunami. also the homeland security secretary along with potentially susan rice going to the border this weekend. plus, the biden administration dialing back attacks on republican governors for opening up for business, biden called them neanderthals. california now preparing to reopen. and more on this debate about
6:03 pm
cancel culture, dr. seuss books rocketing to amazon's bestseller list. we're going to show you the oh companies -- other companies now in the bull's eye. thanks for joining us, i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ ♪ [inaudible conversations] >> cuomo, resign now! elizabeth: you're looking at footage of really heated protests outside cuomo's office. joining me now is former federal prosecutor jim trusty. growing calls he should resign, dozens of lawmakers saying he needs to step down. what was your reaction when you saw "the new york times" reporting that the cuomo team censored and altered a report last july to cover up and hide thousands of nursing home deaths
6:04 pm
because they were alarmed that the real numbers would make cuomo look bad, and they went along because they feared for their jobs? what do you think of this story? >> are that's a primary chi sis about how -- crisis about how he handled the scandalous treatment of vulnerable i adults and then the treatment of female underlippings. i -- underlings. i will tell you real quick, liz, what strikes me about this information leaking out to "the new york times" about how he was understating the figures, it's really the greatest strength of conspiracies that they rely on underlings and the greatest vulnerabilityings. he's using underlings to get the message across to help him politically, and that can insulate him from the wrongdoing. but once they start to turn on him, which is what we might be seeing, it's a greatest vulnerability. they're the people that can bring him down with firsthand information. elizabeth you know, he said who cares where they
6:05 pm
died, then he shouldn't care about releasing all of his texts, e-mails and phone calls, all the information that was exchanged about what happened with this report. he became an international celebrity, he was celebrated as a potential presidential contender. his book launched him about his handling of the pandemic, but what's interesting here, jim, i want your reaction to this -- not only did they knock out a chart showing that would have shown the deaths were actually 50% higher than they reported, but they also knocked out the fact that his own order putting patients back in was an issue. they dialed town on that in the internal -- down on that in the internal report. your reaction. >> right. well, this is the stuff of trouble with the feds. i'm not convinced that you're going to see substantive murder or reckless endangerment type charges against him in state court, but on the federal side, he was slow-walking subpoena responses to the eastern district of new york. and so the more of this kind of premeditated behavior of woefully obfuscating, the more
6:06 pm
he's in harm's way or at least there's some risk of obstruction or false statement charges. again, keep your eye on melissa de rosa. if her lawyer announces she's on team eastern district and not team cuomo, you're going to see a panic-stricken governor. elizabeth: that's an important point because melissa derosa, who worked with cuomo, worked on this july report too. she's the one who said, quote, we froze, we didn't release the data because we feared trump, and he was going to use it as, quote, a political football in the doj probe into what went on. this is now getting bigger, jim, because now the republican governors' association is saying new jersey governor phil murphy has the same problem with covid deaths in nursing homes. in other words, a lot of states followed what cuomo did including putting patients back in and then knocking out the fact that, you know, patients, nursing home patients were dying in hospitals. new jersey didn't do that.
6:07 pm
cuomo was looking at new jersey's numbers and knocked out the hospital deaths in order to make himself look better. that's what "the new york times" report said his team did. what do you think of this broadening to maybe capture other governments? >> well, again, are really the key is going to be are the governors who get caught up in this lying to federal investigators? i think that's the most potential risk for governor cuomo, is orchestrating lies towards the federal government when they were asking questions. it's not about the statehouse. you know, albany might be very satisfied when you say, oh, the reason we lowballed is -- it is because evil trump was after us. that's an issue that may not be duplicated across these other statements. elizabeth: jim trusty, come back soon. we love hearing what you have to say. with me now are daniel and steven, they lost their father norman in a new york nursing
6:08 pm
home. it's an awful story. what happened to your father? >> so daddy was very strong man. he got sick, a couple of times in and out of the hospital and rehab, and he was weak. kind of make a long story short, one week in april we had four family members die of covid. three were in nursing homes, my father, my if uncle and my two cousins, all close to us. and if out of those four only one was registered as a covid death. so back in april we were telling people the numbers are wrong. so much so when he came out with his book, our governor, we held a mock funeral for his leadership and integrity. elizabeth: so you guys knew, you tried to raise the red flag. what happened? >> when two brooklyn brothers realized that in the summer the government was lying about the numbers, we're in a whole heap of trouble because we should not
6:09 pm
know in the middle of last summer that the numbers were wrong. and there's 300 politicians that are supposedly much smarter than we are between us and the governor, and we figured out that the numbers were wrong. they haven't counted our father. the numbers they're counting now still don't count our father because our father was discharged to his house, and he passed away in his house. they still haven't fully accounted for people that were discharged from the nursing home and died at home. they're only now counting people that discharged from the nursing home and died in hospitals. so the truth still, we still seek the truth. that's what started this. this is why we held the mock funeral. elizabeth: yeah. and we hear what you're saying because new york was the gateway for the virus to other states. the government needed to know where the virus was spreading. so it's important what you are saying. let's get your response to governor cuomo if, you know, basically what he did was he knocked out patients who died in hospitals to make the numbers
6:10 pm
look lower, and nursing home operators, by the way, were saying, hey, don't put patients back in with the general population. it's unsafe. other states doesn't do what cuomo ordered them to do, and also quo toe said to nursing homes you can't test patients coming back in. let's listen to governor cuomo here. >> look, whether a person died in the hospital or died in the nursing home, it's -- people died. people died. but who cares? 32, 28 died in the hospital, died in a nursing home. they died. elizabeth: what do you guys think? because this sounds pretty self-incriminating given what we know now that cuomo's team knocked out the numbers. go ahead. >> i would say that he cared because he is the one that said that we were 46 out of 50 statements after our mock.
6:11 pm
funeral, and we were below the national death average of nursing home deaths. so he, obviously, cared about the numbers more than anybody, more than us because he's the one that misled. and his administration froze not because doj sent them a letter, they froze because they already lied a month if earlier, and they've continued to lie when they addressed the democratic caucus. she didn't say that she froze because they fudged the numbers a month earlier. there was no reason to lie, but it's the origins of the order. the investigation has to go back to the beginning. that was the first lie that set up all the other lies. the truth never has to be explained after. he hasn't learned that yet. elizabeth: if you knew the truth, what would you guys have done differently? >> that's a tough question. we really want an apology for us and for these thousands of others, our family members and friends, covid orphans we call ourselves now, because people
6:12 pm
couldn't grieve. people couldn't grieve. so we would have been hurt and angry, but at least we would have settled in our heart that our governor wasn't attacking us and wasn't lying. elizabeth: he's attacked you -- yeah, go ahead. >> everybody was looking to him for leadership during covid. so when he lied about the numbers, he lied to the scientists around the world, he lies to governments around the world. and i'm sure thousands of more people died because people followed his lead around the world. he should have just been truthful. it was a mistake, it was a disastrous order and not tried to blame his lies on trump. they continue toously do that, and i'm a democrat, and they should stop. elizabeth: all right. daniel and peter, thank you so much for joining us. we're so sorry again what happened. we really feel badly for you guys. thank you so much. coming up, texas border resident and border patrol

♪ ♪ >> overnight in the last 45 days we've seen more illegal traffic, car wrecks right through our fences, and then that leaves them scattering all over your land. we're up at night who's running around and what their intentions are. and, like i said, it just came
6:18 pm
overnight in the last 45 days. how do you sleep at night with a 1-year-old in her bed trying to sleep as well? elizabeth: joining me now is the woman behind that voice are, emily lord king, a local resident who lives near the border in texas. we really appreciate it and admire you for standing up and speak out. can you tell us what you're seeing firsthand at the border? >> sure. so in the last two years, we've had one incident on our property. in the last phi weeks we've had at least once a week. fences down, we have to mend them. we have helicopters trying to find people, border patrol agents on foot and usually the illegal immigrants outnumber the agents by, you know, ten, and they don't catch them all, and they're left on your property. you don't know how far they got, if you're going to find them in your vehicle in the morning. it's just extremely unsettling
6:19 pm
these days. elizabeth: and you have a child in your house, is that what we're hearing? is that correct? >> that's correct. so we have a 1-year-old, and like i said, the last three years have been fine, and then overnight in the last 45 days it just changed. we see traffic daily. you have to check fences every day. you don't know if somebody's come through there while you've been at work or away, and you have to fix them immediately because you have livestock that you're responsible for. we've seen a change overnight, so much more traffic. elizabeth: has any biden administration if official reached out to you? has any government official reached out to you? >> no. just, we just see local border patrol agents, and we feel that there are not enough here to support the crisis that's happening. elizabeth: okay. so what are your neighbors -- they're saying the same thing? everybody else in your area
6:20 pm
saying the same thing? is that true? >> yes, that's absolutely true. neighbors have fences down as well. they'll cut through multiple properties, go right back out. one chase resulted in three broken fences on one single fence. like, they are relentless. they have no care for our property, and neighbors have to stick together to let you know that, hey, there was a chase through ours, you might want to check your fences as well. not just our property, it's our neighbors and everyone in the community. volume is just up. elizabeth: okay. emily, thank you so much for joining us and giving us your perspective of. we're going to have you back on. we're going to bring in art del cueto for his reaction, national border patrol council vice president. you heard what emily lord king is saying. where -- the question is, people are under siege at the border, art. we know you're joining us by
6:21 pm
phone. where is alexandria ocasio-cortez, where is elizabeth warren going down to the border to protest at these facilities, art? because we're not seeing them do that now. they did it under trump. your reaction? >> it's very frustrating, liz, because i think the only individuals that have come out here is congressman andy biggs, and i know he brought some people down here to look at several areas of the border. the numbers are definitely up, we're seeing a lot of una accompanied juveniles, and, you know, what's unfortunate is realistically out here in the tucson sector in arizona, they're still running. we don't know the number of got-aways. i know out in texas the numbers are up, but a lot of those numbers are people that have turned themselves in for whatever reason. here in arizona it's always been the case that they run. so you don't know how many people have gotten away, and i think that is the scary part is how many have gotten through, who are they and what are their intentions. elizabeth: yeah.
6:22 pm
there's another double standard. democrats are blocking republicans' demands, you know, at house oversight and house judiciary hearings. they held multiple hearings on the border under trump. shouldn't they be having hearings? you know, we've got republicans saying, yeah, this is a crisis. shouldn't they be having hearings? because if they're going to turn shelters into instant processing centers all of a sudden, into immigration facilities, the ceo of greyhound bus is saying we need federal help because you're putting covid, potentially people infected with covid on our buses. we need money for that. finish and, you know, doesn't all of that speak to the need for hearings if they're making, you know, if something's going on? >> i mean, i don't even think just hearings. they need to come down here and see a what's going op. i don't believe it's a problem that should just be looked at from one particular political
6:23 pm
party. both sides need to come down here. they need to see what's really going on, figure out what policies have worked in the past, continue with those policies because that's what it comes down to. you cannot remove policies without having something in place, and you definitely can't remove policies knowing that it's going to be failure if you don't put some kind of policy up to make sure that our nation's borders are secure. elizabeth: you know, the shelters are at the breaking point. they're at quadruple capacity in many areas. they're talking about turning military bases into temporary shelters for illegal border crossers. let's listen to the white house continue to downplay this. watch this. >> so i would say that's probably a question for the department of homeland security who, obviously, oversees that and the department of health and human services who oversees the facilities and the shelters where these kids are. elizabeth: she was asked is this a crisis. it's just a simple question, is this a crisis, art.
6:24 pm
it seems like d.c -- >> right. elizabeth: -- is getting locked in these semantic wars, these fights over word choices. that's a distraction, art. what do you say? >> and that's true. we can't get caught up into the words and somebody say is it or is it not. the fact of the matter is we've seen surges before. we've seen high surges before. elizabeth: yeah. >> you know, several year ago. but we need to focus on what policies worked, which ones won't work and move forward. at the end of the day, you know, playing word games is not going to fix the problem. we need to focus on policies that have worked and continue with those policies. elizabeth: it's a humanitarian crisis, a health crisis, a security crisis, a drug-trafficking crisis, a human trafficking crisis. it's a lot of things happening at the border. art, thank you so much for helping us. we really appreciate it. thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you. elizabeth: next up, california

republican governors after saying, calling them, quote, neanderthals, for dropping the mask mandate. what is your reaction to that story? >> well, it's not neanderthal, liz, to want to open up your small business that you've worked your whole life to operate. california is now the only state in the country that doesn't have indoor dining. also the kids in our schools. i mean, we are keeping our kids out of schools, we are literally killing these kids. it's not neanderthal to actually want our kids to get in-person instruction. i have nephews in orlando, florida, who have been going to school all the way along. my 16-year-old is still sitting watching a screen. parents all across california are wondering why are we doing this to our children. and, you know, these politicians -- and i will include, you know, president biden among those, obviously, he's been in washington for some 40 some odd years -- they don't understand the real world here, liz. i mean, they don't appreciate the fact that there's actual
6:31 pm
costs to keeping our kids out of school, to keeping businesses shut down, to keeping people out of churches. there's an actual cost to doing this. it's a bad. i had it -- bad disease. i had it early on. 99.if 9% of people survive it, but i'm worried about the amount of suicides, i'm worried about the 400,000 buzzes that are not going to -- businesses that are not going to reopen. and california is leading the way in unemployment and suicide watches and all of the really hour reremember douse results of this -- horrendous results of this management. i think people want a better result in california which is why the recall is gaining steam, and it's going to be done. mr. newsom is going to be replaced. elizabeth: well, now governor newsom is going to reopen california. they're talking about a return of inside restaurant dining, the reopening of movie theaters and other indoor businesses and more children back in schools. also sports competitions potentially in stadiums.
6:32 pm
maybe fans in the stands for opening day of major league baseball. so that's a good thing, right? >> it is. but, you know, it's like i tweeted when he talked about the school reopening where it's only through second grade. i said are you going to thank the guy who punched you in the nose and broke it for driving you to the hospital? no. i mean, i think mr. newsom's expecting us all of us to bow dn and say, thank you, thank you, for allowing us to actually go to a baseball game or have indoor dining at 25%. liz, the rest of the country has indoor dining where restaurants can actually open and pay their servers. and people can actually make money. i mean, people are trying to get a haircut in the state, barbers and nail salons are absolutely suffering under these capacity limits. but the governor doesn't really care about that, and that's a real problem. we've got to get people back to
6:33 pm
work, we've got to get people an opportunity to live their lives again. and, you know, it's just taken way too too long. elizabeth: you know what's interesting is we've been a year at this, john. you and i have been talking about it, and we see companies reacting saying, you know, companies like starbucks, target, cvs, walgreens saying, you know, you've got to wear the mask inside our stores. so businesses are stepping up. we know that 16 statements don't have mask mandates, but the point being that kohl's, kroger, they're saying wear the masks in stores. i mean, so if we had done that a year ago instead of doing this top-down shutdown of entire economies, where would we be at now? we have a good jobs report right now, but that -- more than9 million people are still out of a job, john. where would we have been if we did things differently? >> i think we'd be better off. let's face it, liz, we've got probably 2 million people in california who are unemployed. the tourism industry is just about shut down.
6:34 pm
yeah, target, kohl's, home depot, costco, they've all continued to operate business because they were essential. but the small corner florist, the small nail salon, the barbershop, the small restaurant that people really were, where entrepreneurship started and put their blood, swept and tears into. you know, i'm a small businessman. i can't imagine what it would be like if my business were shut down like has been done in california. elizabeth: right. >> that's just a real damage to people, and i don't know, you know, it's going to take us a long, long time to recover from that. and i guess the bottom line is it wasn't all that needed. if you look at the science, you know, florida's experience has been actually relatively good, and they've been open most of the time. california's been shut down, and our experience is much different than florida's. the science just doesn't justify it. elizabeth: we hear you, john. thanks for joining us. come back soon. >> thank you.

another accuser, lindsey boylan, said he is, quote, a monster. congresswoman, let's listen to what charlotte bennett told cbs. watch. >> i think he felt like he was untouchable in a lot of ways. he goes, you were raped. you were raped. you were raped and abused and assaulted. and then he explained at that point that he is looking for a girlfriend. he's lonely, he's tired. he asked if i had trouble enjoying being with. with someone because of my trauma. he asked me if age difference mattered. he also explained that he was fine with anyone over 22. >> and how old are you? >> 25. i thought, he's trying to sleep with me.

the governor's trying to sleep with me. and i'm deeply uncomfortable, and i have to get out of this room as soon as possible. >> he's your boss. >> he's everyone's boss. elizabeth: okay, congresswoman, quick two things. these allegations, charlotte bennett is saying this happened at the height of the pandemic when the golf was dealing -- governor was dealing with pandemic. second thing, when this was allegedly going on, governor cuomo had already signed into law two years ago a new law that lowers the standard to prove sexual harassment. it doesn't need to be severe or even pervasive. he could, maybe even his own law he signed, he could be indicted. what do you say, congresswoman? >> that's absolutely true. and on the of -- on top of it, he's requiring training on sexual harassment. he should take the very training that he passed in that same law because, clearly, he doesn't

6:56 pm
they support sanctuary cities. let me tell you what happens now, those rapists and sex offenders are going to walking out of those jails because the biden administration hasn't done anything to change it. so they can create all the policies they want. rapists, sex offenders, gang members walk out of sanctuary jails every day, and they're going to keep walking out of them now because joe biden's administration shut down the lawsuit. elizabeth: what's the rationale behind this? what is the biden administration's rationale, tom? >> it's always been we have to have a sanctuary city because we want immigrants to be free to report crimes and victims of crimes shouldn't be afraid to come forward. that is a lie. i.c.e. wants access to the jail, to the bad guys. they don't want to talk to the victim or witness, they want access to the person in the country who's committed a serious offense. when i.c.e. can't arrest a bad guy in jail, now they've got to go out in the community where they're probably going to find others.
6:57 pm
you release a public safety threat back into the community, here's going to reoffend in the community in which he lives, the immigrant community. and we think those victims, when that public safety threat is back in the community, it's a lie. a sanctuary city is a sanctuary for criminals, not for law-abiding taxpayers or not even for the immigrant community. elizabeth: i mean, last couple years -- excuse me, in 2019, rather, 123,000 criminal illegal aliens with convictions or pending charges were arrested that year. i mean, and the thing is president obama's administration, like the trump administration, sought to withhold federal grants from local governments that refused to cooperate with i.c.e. so this was a bipartisan issuement why is it all of a sudden, you know, not recognized as that? >> you know, i'm shocked. you know, i'm shocked at the fact the crime rate is rising in sanctuary cities, and it seems like the politicians don't care.
6:58 pm
look, rikers island, new york, i.c.e. was kicked out of there. so gang members and sex offenders walked out of rikers island on the streets of new york every day. and let me use one example, montgomery county, maryland, last year had 11 rapes within a couple month period all committed by people here illegally. ten of the eleven victims were immigrants. so someone explain to me how the sanctuary policy protects the immigrant policy. it doesn't. it protects criminals. i.c.e. should be able to arrest someone not only in the country illegally, but has committed a serious offense. they need to be arrested, detained and removed from the cup. they gave up their right to be here when they did such heinous things. elizabeth: you know, we had obama, hillary clinton, schumer, pelosi, they all said illegal immigrants shouldn't be here. and pelosi said, quote: we don't want any more coming.
6:59 pm
so, but now if you, if people listen to what you say on the hard left or in the media, certain individuals in the media, they're going to say, oh, you know, this is racist, to talk like this. but what you're saying is the first victims are the immigrant community and minority communities themselves. is that what you're saying? >> absolutely, that's what i'm saying. and, look, i've been called a racist. last time i testifieded, i had a couple congresswomen i'm xenophobic. you know what? if i'm a racist for enforcing immigration law, what's that make you? you wrote the law. i.c.e. is just out there enforcing the law that congress enacted. that, to me, makes sense. there's nothing racist about this. if you look at the i.c.e. data from last year, 91% of everybody i.c.e. arrested was a convicted criminal or pending criminal charges. that's pretty good prioritization. but the biden administration came in and said that's not good enough. we're going to take 90% of those
