salsa, it's a good day. david: laura, i don't want to go out with a agreement, i get you toe disagree with that? >> they have a great margarita. we'll leave it at that. david: ladies, that does it for "fox business tonight." we'll see you tomorrow. "the evening edit" starts right now. elizabeth: tonight news coming in, a developing story, mexico now warning the biden administration its weakening of trumps border policies are creating quote a boom time for drug traffickers and human smugglers. that biden, quote, is enabling criminal gangs and cartels making money by targeting and victimizing migrant women and children. the border crisis hitting new emergency levels. also this, discuss seven years ago president biden warned about this was coming. we have details. with us tonight, ken paxton, sheriff wayne ivy, christopher bed for, new york state

assemblyman ed, kristin state james whiton, james care kahn carafano on the new. officials warn they see an increasing flood of border-crossers coming into their territories from overseas. from safe havens for terrorists. we tell you where they're from. and we've got more on the fallout of this. critics warning that the white house is putting american lives at risk by still being stuck in the first stages of denial, not admitting there is a problem and stonewalling and blocking reporter, democrats are even criticizing that. biden also making history. new levels of border crossings expected to skyrocket by spring. we're on the story. this debate tonight, where are the hollywood celebrities, "the squad"? where is the democrats, where are is the aclu on the administration's humanitarian border crisis?

children now being held in overcrowded facilities during a pandemic. in those so-called, quote, cages they all ripped into trump for that. more on the fallout of this, biden also making history in a way that the team doesn't want to talk about in the white house. he is the first president in modern history to have gone nearly two months without holding a press conference taking questions from reporters. what this means for the white house and the midterms. we've got it tonight. and biden also making history in another way. it is official, the end of the reagan era, biden going on with a big government blitz with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi with trillions of new spending. what this means for taxpayers. president biden outpacing fdr, lbj, clinton, kennedy, even obama in government spending. just a fraction of the spending this new round going towards covid. also more on governor cuomo, bullying lawmakers to back down. now this, his top spokesman allegedly interfering with one

of governor cuomo's six women accusing the governor of sexual harrassment. also this story, a new report, did cuomo authorize a smear campaign against one of his accusers? thanks for joining us tonight. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. >> the horrific stories, the number of victims in the county that have been victimized by illegals. would make a billy goat puke. so now we have president biden with his executive orders, opening up the floodgates. well, mr. president, i will tell you this, your decisions have second and third order effects. it is now going to be on local,

state law enforcement in texas to clean up this mess. i tell you right now, you look at our fence out here, i bet you it was more difficult to get into this press conference than it is at our southern border. elizabeth: that was texas congressman, former sheriff, troy nehls. other republicans blasting president biden's handling of the border crisis. with us now is texas attorney general ken paxton. great to see you. let's get right at it. we begin with reuters rather, reporting that mexico is warning the biden administration is enabling, intensifying border crimes by drug and human traffickers. your reaction to that story? >> it is deja vu all over again. this happened during the obama administration. president trump, came in, cleaned it up. started putting up a wall. started encouraging border security an enforcement and it worked. president invited people openly to come.

we're back where we were four years ago with more crime, more human trafficking, more drug trafficking and covid to deal with as well. elizabeth: we have even democrats privately admitting president trump made the border safer. senators ted cruz, josh hawley, biden is basically pulling border officials away when border patrol was forced to shut down highway checkpoints in arizona to catch criminals drug and human traffickers. reuters is reporting that basically, drug cartels, human trafficking gangs is putting the biden administration way behind the eight ball. they're using technology to attack the border. they're setting up fake travel agencies to do human smuggling. they're targeting migrants to recruit them to do human smuggling and become drug mules. so is the biden administration behind the eight ball right now? >> absolutely this is becoming a human tragedy overnight. it will quickly grow into a

bicker human tragedy. the very crimes will affect people coming up here. affect the people on the border. as it spreads across the united states, it will affect americans across this country. there is no good upside on this. this is a real disaster. elizabeth: even then vice president biden warned in 2014 don't come here illegally. he said it when he was on a tour of guatemala. he said you will be physically and sexually assaulted if you try to come here illegally. you will be extorted by drug gangs, human smugglers, recruited and pulled into the drug and human trafficking gangs. what happened over the last seven years now we're not hearing that information? >> you know the tug from the far left. it makes no sense. it doesn't benefit the american people. there is no upside to the people coming right now. they're in tremendous danger. then, when you consider just the risk of covid spreading and we're slowly getting that under control. now we have people crossing the border. we have no idea what their health status is and apparently

don't care what the health status is, although that was the most important administration in the biden administration coming in. elizabeth: good to see you ken paxton. thank you for joining us. wait, one more question for you. we have a question for you. >> sure. elizabeth: here is the thing, biden said up to 80% of border-crossers rely on human smugglers. he said that in 2014. is that still the case? >> i don't know we have the most updated statistics. it is not surprised if the numbers haven't changed that much. they use the same tactics and much more sophisticated with technology. and other foreign countries are pushing drugs including china. it wouldn't surprise me if those numbers are similar today. elizabeth: sir, we want to switch topics quickly. you said you will sue travis county and austin, texas, if they don't remove the local mandate by 7:00 p.m. eastern time. that is less than an hour away?

>> i don't think we heard good news from them. we will absolutely sue them. the governor released us from the mask mandate. the city of austin has no authority to continue that mask mandate. we'll definitely sue them if they do not comply with state law. elizabeth: we're staying on that fight between you and the city of texas and travis county. thank you, sir, for joining us, ken paxton. good to see you. >> good to see you. elizabeth: let's bring in sheriff wayne ivy of brevard county, florida. sheriff, the reaction reporting that mexico warning the biden administration and the vice president back in 2014 agreeing with what mexico is saying now? >> elizabeth, right now, americans should be outraged across the country what is happening at our borders. it doesn't stop at the borders. it filters into every community. it is unbelievable what has taken place. elizabeth: okay. right now we're heading, trending on, we're seeing new border statistics coming up. it is up 28%, border crossings

from january to february. we were talking 1.2 million annualized trying to cross the border. the trump administration was transparent. the trump team was now, is not being applauded for being tough on the border being safe about it. sir, i would like your reaction to the press secretary jen psaki refusing to answer reporters basic questions even about the numbers. watch this. >> why won't you confirm that number? that is a very important number. >> i, we've been very clear that there is an increase, that there are more children coming across the border than we have facilities are at this point in time. those numbers are tracked by department of homeland security. i suggest you talk to them. >> we talked to them, general. they won't confirm the number. >> i suggest you go back to talk to them. we won't confirm the number.

elizabeth: you can't get numbers out of the white house when the drug cartels and human traffickers are using technology and fake travel agencies to bring people across the border? you can't get numbers from the press secretary. >> the only reason you hide facts because the truth you don't want anybody to see. the truth is open borders are bad for our country and law and order foundation. they're bad all around. we have to stop it. in fact that is why sheriffs from across the country have joined together with protect america now to make sure that we're standing up for not only the constitution but for law and order in this country. it is outrageous what is taking place. elizabeth: you know, now we're seeing, you know, states like florida, arizona, montana, suing because of things like releasing criminal illegal aliens into the, into the u.s. society. you know, i.c.e. has been handcuffed, 90% of their authority has been taken away to

make arrests. are you seeing the effects of that from where you sit? >> absolutely. every community is seeing the effects of it. it doesn't just stop at the border. we're very blessed to have attorney general ashley moody here in florida is taking the biden administration to task. she is going after this executive order and, it is taking away from detainers of violent criminals, drug dealers. we go out arrest them, put them in our jails. we've been working very well with the feds on this initiative and now all of sudden we have to let them go right back into the communities and right back to victimizing people. elizabeth: yeah. i mean, we're seeing the criminal cartels south of the border using sophisticated technology to basically try to breach the border. we've got democrats though, playing politics with the border, stuck in denial, stuck in word games. stuck in semantics. democrat representative, for example, joaquin castro said yesterday to msnbc, don't call

it a crisis because the republicans will use it to fear-monger. we're talking about thousands of people in this country victimized by criminal illegal alien crime. the u.s. is a humanitarian country, sheriff. we support immigration. take on tony gonzalez says, says, worse than people realize. sheriff, listen to this. >> john the border crisis is worse than people realize. my district is over 800 miles of border. i'm on the border every single week. this is what i'm seeing. i was just in theresa springs at unaccompanied minor facility. it was busting at the seams. within days it was overcapacity. a lot has to do with the new administration's look at not being active on the border. elizabeth: why is it worse than realized? where is hollywood, where is the aclu, where is the "squad," where are the democrats? they ripped into trump for this but trump made the border safer.

why is it worse than realized? >> well, first of all to say it is not a crisis it is a crisis on steroids. it is out of control. again it is filtering into every community. everybody should be outraged. i don't care what political affiliation you have, you ought to be worried about your safety. open borders is causing just a tremendous fallout here in our country. elizabeth: it is hitting immigrant communities and minority communities. sheriff wayne ivy, thank you so much for joining us. thank you so much for your service to our country. appreciate it. >> thank you. elizabeth: christopher bedford. biden making history in another way the team doesn't want to talk about in the white house. he is the first president to have gone nearly two months without taking questions from reporters in a press conference. here is the fallout, is the u.s. ready for four years of biden's scripted teleprompter appearances? who is in charge? who is really running the show. the story next.

though he often sparred with reporters, president donald trump and the press, now we have one press wants to treat with kid gloves. he is not able to go out there because mainly the staff won't let him. i unfortunately think there will not be pushback. maybe people in the country are sick of constant politics and certainly the press is not pushing him and absent campaigner is the absent president and see "the new york times" passed right over it. elizabeth: is biden reluctant to talk to the press or his staff doesn't want him to talk? because he will do another scripted talk to the nation tomorrow night. and now we have vice president harris taking calls from world leaders. this time from norway. she talked to leaders of israel, canada, and france. who exactly is doing this, who is running the show? >> i, seems to be the rumors here in d.c. are that the staff is the main cause. biden has shown an openness at times to wanting to talk to the press while his handlers pushed

back or in that creepy moment after the president of the united states said he was ready to take questions at the moment. that was freaky. we have seen unprecedented move vice president moved into the blair house for the time-being. giving her more access to the president than any vice president in modern history has taking calls from foreign leaders. people are watching biden's rare public moments, seeing increasing memory lapses or forgetting his own defense secretary's named, seemed to happen. maybe kamala harris is taking calls for him. elizabeth: is the d.c. media waking up to this, is the media waking up to this? the president campaigned on transparent re sy getting back to norms and tradition. watch president biden in action,

watch him in action at scripted teleprompter sessions. >> [reporters shouting] >> come, let's go. >> excuse me, p nfl nel, what am i doing here? i am going to lose track here. i want to thank you both, i want to thank the former general, i keep calling him general. my, my, the guy mo runs that outfit over there. i want to thank you all, i really mean it, thank you, thank you, thank you. and i'm happy to take questions if that is, what i'm supposed to do, nance, whatever you want me to do?

inappropriate. the phone call to my friend ron kim, that is unfortunately the way this office operated in the last decade. elizabeth: new york taxpayers didn't pay for this kind of behavior. they don't pay salaries of spokesmen to behave like this, to interfere and pressure women who are accusing state elected official of, of sexual harrassment. so is this going to be added to the impeachment resolution, do you think? because he is accused of obstructing the doj in their probe into covid-19 nursing home deaths connected to his order. as you pointed out, state lawmaker ron kim, cuomo accused of bullying and threatening him. now he is, now he is accused of trying to do a smear campaign against another accuser, lindsey boylan, that is the new yorker magazine reporting that. what is going on here, will this be added to the impeachment resolution? >> that is certainly something we would look at doing.

going back a few weeks ago we originally proposed a impeachment commission, focused on the nursing homes but as the sexual allegations have come out we added that to the mix. this past monday we introduced this impeachment resolution. i think all of these things have to be put in there, it really shows just all around just the lack of, you know, trust that we should have in the executive at this point f they're going to conduct themselves this way with somebody who is alleging sexual harrassment, inappropriate sexual behavior what would they not do? >> yeah. so you're saying, it should be put into the impeachment resolution. so that, you're making news right there. let's listen to cuomo's accuser ana liss explain what happened when cuomo's spokesman, rich asparte phoned her out of the blue on her honeymoon. watch this. >> i'm saying it was not a safe

space for women to work. he said i have a kind of an awkward question. has lindsey boylan reached out to you? have you spoken to her. i said, no. and then when he hung up i remember thinking, how many other people is he calling? elizabeth: who else did the spokesman call? is that his job? is that what taxpayers pay him to do, is to pressure and influence women who are involved in a sexual harrassment allegation that is now being investigated by the state attorney general office? is that what, is that his job? is that what he is supposed to be doing? >> certainly not. and i would say, you know, i have colleagues on the other side of the aisle who have been saying hey, let the attorney general's investigation play out, see what happens. it is premature to call for resignation. here is a perfect example why we need to act now. if the governor is not going to resign we should take action and begin impeachment proceedings

because clearly you know they're going to try to interfere. elizabeth: yeah. we also are showing that the cuomo administration ordered homes for the disabled to take back in covid-19 patients recovering patients and they never rescinded that order. so that is still stands. disabled people at risk. assemblyman, thanks for joining us. for her reaction bring back on columnist and author kristin tate. kristin, we have the strong-arming of it looks like sexual harrassment accuser ana liss. we have "the new yorker" magazine reporting that someone in the cuomo administration is trying to smear lindsay boylan. when she went public last december, they released her personal records to the media. >> this story gets worse and worse. if andrew cuomo was a republican governor, every democrat on down would be demanding his resignation and removal of

office. they would treat him the same way as they did with brett kavanaugh with zero respect and due process. they tried to destroy his life, humiliate his family with decades allegations, they went through every yearbook photo or every claim and believed every clam no matter how absurd. the democrat standard has never believe all women. it was always believe all women unless they are accusing our own. accusers of bill clinton, joe biden were rhett puttable and treated. they were basically tossed aside and ignored. some new york democrats are calling for cuomo to be thrown out of office. on the national level many prominent democrats have remained silent. kamala harris. she was one of the most passionate anti-kavanaugh voices. she hasn't made a peep about the como accusations. nancy pelosi and biden, they still have not said they would support an effort to remove him

either. elizabeth: the double standards are stunning, kristin, you pointed out. kristin, you pointed out, yes, due process but governor cuomo said no one told him at the time he was being inappropriate. he signed a sexual harrassment law two years ago. his staffers go through sexual harrassment training to know that certain things are wrong. so it is not sexual harrassment unless someone tells you? >> i mean it is just ridiculous the excuses being made but this really should not surprise anyone. cuomo has shown a shocking amount of arrogance throughout the last year. not just with the sexual harrassment scandal but with the nursing home scandal as well. we know? that 15,000 elderly people died in nursing homes. he wrote a book praising himself for his covid handling. meanwhile he was going on cable networks like cnn, his own brother's show, engaging in banter, making light of a

terrible situation in new york as people were dying. as new yorkers were losing their businesses, livelihoods, their savings due to his draconian lock down orders. his behavior as these new accusations come forward is really no surprise. elizabeth: kristin tate, always great to see you. you're a great writer. we love reading your columns and books. good to see you. just ahead former state department official christian whiton, president biden making history, not something they want to talk about much, the end of the reagan era is here. president biden goes on full-on big government spending blitz, outpacing fdr, lbj, clinton, even obama in government spending. just a fraction going towards covid. the end of the reagan era? we'll talk about it next with christian whiton. >> the idea that we're just going to make government bigger and not try to understand that the decisions to shut down the

adults in americans, that would be $10,000 per person. what is the difference? it is going to big government. perhaps the most egregious, more than $300 billion going to state governments, basically bailing out predominantly blue states that made bad decisions. elizabeth: democrats have now spent five trillion dollars to rescue the economy, more than ever seen for any crisis in u.s. history including world wars. anita dunne, top aide to president joe biden, said quote, the covid-19 epidemic ever happened to him. jane fonda called it god's gift to the left. they say that, christian, but will taxes go up on lower income, including middle income families? >> that is very likely actually. if you look at the history when democrats come to power, they always say they're only going to raise taxes on the rich. bill clinton said he would not raise taxes on the middle class, then he most certainly did. obama said he wouldn't raise taxes on anyone making less than

250,000 in various taxes that were applied to the stimulus bill he enacted, obamacare raised taxes on everyone. i think what the democrats are doing here, extended long-term unemployment this, is federal payment, on top of state payments through september. that guaranties unemployment will remain high in september. what happens in september? when it is time for next year's federal budget. so you can bet they're going to want to have a huge increase in government spending there. i think they will put taxes in there because they can get that by in the senate with only 51 votes. 50 votes. elizabeth: you coined a term, porkulus, we love it, chris, when you coin terms, you're creative, christian white ton. you talked about reagan, used taxation, high joblessness, let's go in the other direction, smaller government. biden is doubling the spending even what obama did.

ric grenell was with us, former acting dni. we were talking about a new slush fund we found, nearly $600 million for more federal paid time off from workers. christian, want your reaction to what ric grenell says about this. watch? >> we have too many people in this country who have just spent a year struggling to pay their bills and to figure out how are they going to work? how are we going to make money? if you work for the government, whether it is in sacramento, whether it is in the nation's capital, you didn't have to worry about any of that. you continued to get paid and you got your covid relief checks on top of that. you never had to worry about where your money was coming from. the idea that we're going to just make government bigger and not try to understand that the decisions to shut down the government and to give people a little bit of, little checks, all of those decisions are done by people that never missed a

paycheck through covid. elizabeth: what do you say, christian? >> you know, i think that is actually right. ric is really on to something there. the division that frankly gave rise to the trump presidency, this sort of you know, people who were manufacturing more traditional industries versus the coastal elite, certainly for the people who work for government, and that divergence is getting bigger. you see it in just this elite that doesn't care. putting restaurants, hotels, others out of business and telling you know, parents, including mostly poor parents, places like the l.a. unified school district, no, we don't want to work even though this thing doesn't really affect most kids, we just would rather get paid not to work. you know, there really has been a division. elizabeth: all right. christian whiton, good to see you. pork youlous we'll remember that

elizabeth: that's welcome retired arnie james carafano it's great to see you again government documents, fbi officials, officials in central

america and the media reported they are seeing bad actors get into the u.s. caravans forming all over america after the election from paraguay to chile we are seeing migrants coming in from pakistan, syria, somalia, yemen, iraq they caught a dozen from around in arizona last month, is this a big deal or story. >> let me explain how the situation has changed asia, africa, middle east to try to sneak into the southern border most of them virtually all economic immigrants in utica terrorists can walk across the border much more likely ten years ago a terrorist would get on a plane because even though there were security they had to get through they know the threat that they face in terrorist like predictability because normally they only get one shot, what is

changed under biden it's not about securing the border is about moving people with legal immigrants into the country as quickly as possible with any security or vetting so if you're a foreign power and you want to get lost in the masses this is a better attack vector for you because the u.s. government is consciously not trying to screen people, they're not trained to screen the border when they say were sending more people to the border they're not sending people to stop the crisis there sending people to the borders of they can move people into the country faster so i think it does open up a new factor for siri to mention secured concerns. elizabeth: we heard you say tehran has been known to retaliate for the january 2020 u.s. drone strike in the assassination of the revolutionary guard that could force general soleimani we don't know who those iranians were and they were cotton, these are the people that have been caught we

don't know who got away. >> is more likely the economic immigrants, we seen those last 15 years or so we did a better job securing our border in a terrorist attack in the united states are much better off recruiting 70 inside the united states to do that and increasingly we crackdown on that, if you're really serious about getting 70 here, the biden administration has opened up an open door to get through this put them through a flow of six or 78000 people per day, 100,000 people per month we just want 70 to walk into the country that's a way to do it once you get them here you have to get him a place to live and everything else but there lost in the mass of the biden administration is importing but it opens up a new vector and there's another security concern that's opened up that biden made us incredible vulnerable remember when europe collapsed because they said if

you're not nice we'll send a few hundred thousand refugees what the people of foreign power from sending a bunch of people was to keep china from putting people and sending them to the united states they can walk in before the biden administration does anything about it. it is a big deal, a big risk. elizabeth: we hear what you're saying central american governments are possible way from cuba and venezuela and haiti in asia and africa, this is according to the media outlets like they are reporting the democrat republic of congo, yemen, afghanistan, these we are seeing nationals coming in from there, these are thought to be brimming with tears organizations and atrocity committing tribal militia. here's the other think you have to watch panama panama is seen riots in the migrant camps who

burning facilities, torching vehicles and that's what central america is also worried about that the people are slowing into panama coming up north, your final word on that. >> increasingly the cartel of mexico who make thousands of dollars off of virtually every person that crosses the united states they are reaching out and broadening their network into africa and into asia and their linking up with criminal cartels so they can flood more people in so they can make more money and then they turn around and by precursors for fentanyl so they can put more in the united states it's a transnational criminal bonanza on top of the national security risks. elizabeth: mexico is saying biden the administration you're creating a boom time for the criminal cartel, your final word on that you're saying mexico is saying you're enabling these criminal actors, your final word. >> 6000 per day, thousands goes to the cartel and that money

goes directly to china by the precursor and back to the cartel the cartel the sense of fentanyl into the united states and then more human smuggling. elizabeth: james carafano, it's good to have you on, thinking to your service for the country, i'm elizabeth macdonald you been watching "the evening edit" they give are watching us see you tomorrow night ♪ ♪. larry: hello welcome back to "kudlow", am larry kudlow once again it looks like stocks love stimulus even if i don't. stocks rallied to finish the day higher the dow is up more than 500 points for a lot of the day congressional democrats meanwhile celebrating passage of the $1.9 trillion boondoggle covid spending package that's what they called a political payoff the bill passed in the house to 20 - 11 not a single republican voted for, one
