evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show you're watching the fox business network we begin with theit washington post getting hammered after a story the factor big and president trump impeachment joining me former house oversight chair jason chaffetz it's great to have you on your the author of the upcoming book they never letter crisis go to waste the truth about disaster liberalism. how control with the media use in an ominous sources with t an agenda do they even cause republicans to lose control of the senate l somehow? >> i do think it's out of control i thought there was a degree of responsibility with the biggest publishers out there but i think through the years that is gone off to the side how many stories do you read that in an ominous source or something like that it seems like every time something comes to light it
10:04 pm
goes against conservatives and republicans and certainly against donald trump the ball always seems to bounce that direction. i was recently on airplane and watch the presidents men and the whole movie about the outer pushing the reporters to get evidence and have people go on the record that we are nowhere close to that today. elizabeth: is a correction two months after the fact is that good enough? the georgia state investigator on the phone call told local news she did not perceive pressure from the presidents phone call. this was used in impeachment by the way. >> i'm glad they brought it to light, i think it should have been instead of a correction i think it should've been more i severe than that but why isn't anybody fired, somebody came to the table and had something in writing why isn't there a consequence within the washington post i want to see people fire just like i see them
10:05 pm
break the law i want to see them prosecuted but we need you something egregious as that and plays a factor of a sitting president you should be fired. but i don't see the washington post coming anywhere near close to doing that. elizabeth: people say trump should not of made the phone call to begin with but then trump was a major fight with republican governor of georgia. there is potential intent, the secretary of state office secretly record the conversation with trump mischaracterizes the content to the washington post then they talk about voter fraud in the post reports anonymous and that somehow they tried to delete the recording the state official and it was discovered in aov trash folder, it is worse than people realize. >> a lot of that should not have happened i'm glad it came to light but i don't think it excuses the national traditional media outlet that puts their
10:06 pm
name out there so boldly and this is not the first time we keep seeing the stories i don't know what they're teaching the journalists of tomorrow but they seem to be not following the best practices in terms of beins a journalist because this keeps happening and when it comes to light the ball always bounces one direction. elizabeth: jason, nbc, abc, usa today, cnn somehow they confirm the fabricated quotes from the washington post anonymous source citing their own anonymous sources this seems to be down throughout the media echo e chamber you can go in within an ominous quote in source and speak loudly into the d.c. echo chamber and it gets repeated around the country and becomes part of ann impeachment probe, s that the way we want the country to go. g >> that's part of the problem with 24/7 news the pressure to get it out the door so fast. i can tell you somebody will
10:07 pm
come out with anonymous c source and you have an ominous source for their own story so they say it's in the washington post so it must be okay to use over here and suddenly you have this information that goes to the house democrats and they use that in their impeachment prosecution. that is what is so wrong aboutav this and meanwhile you don't have anybody going on the recoro and people need to see through that and recognize that theo uss as a tool and weapon isaac and there's no accountability and when it does come to light it is a slight update as to what is going on as opposed to retraction it's a correction. elizabeth: you wonder as caveat entered don't take it these value what the media is recording that's a way you have to roll with it, watch the medie spread the story, let's listen to this. watch. >> nbc news revealing the president trump pressuring them
10:08 pm
to find the fraud. asking a person define the fraud, saying that that official would be a national hero. >> find the fraud will dig into new reporting out of georgia that could mean more legal trouble for the president. >> second call to an election official in your state to find the fraud. >> the president pressuring that investigator to find the fraud were learning of another call of urged him to find the fraud, find the fraud adding if they did show they would be a national hero. elizabeth: president trump think the washington post for the correction what do you think what you heard from the media. >> i think what donald trump said is fairly tempered but this is today's news cycle where gets repeated again and again, i'm curious with the news
10:09 pm
organizations saying they were able to confirm that, maybe if somebody lies to you if that's what happened then it's no wonder off the record maybe they should cite that person i don't know but there's a reason why this always goes one direction. people make mistakes and there's erroneous stories and there needs to be corrections and retractions and consequences for a reporter using the name of the washington post to get this out there and i think the congressmen and women who use that against donald trump to impeach him should also be outre there apologizing for it. elizabeth: jason chaffetz thank you so much. >> thank you. elizabeth: texas border congressman tony gonzalez is t with us he represents 820 miles of us-mexico border and we will talk to them how nancy pelosi and top democrats don't want thd border crisis to swamp president biden covid relief this week

elizabeth: joining us now republican congressman tony gonzalez it is great to see you. four people arrested at thete southern border since october 1 there on the fbi watchlist three for yemen and one from serbia but democrats biden in pelosi say this is not a crisis, what do you think? >> the situation on our southern border is dire for too long those communities a live on the border havee been forgotten. the republican party has your
10:15 pm
back word there to fight for the communities on the border and were there to support our voter patrol were fighting every day to keep her borders safe the reality is a lot of negative activity is coming across and the law is due to the biden of administration and ability to respond. elizabeth: nancy pelosi is fearing that this will swamp the presidents covid relief to her that the 2 trillion and spending the past homeland security secretary said this is the worst than a generation he wanted national guard troops to stay at the border until past september. we seem border crossing for the 140oming from where countries in recent years. let's watch congresswoman mccarthy at the border yesterday. >> something that concerns me is homeland security and ranking s member people caught in the last few days in sector three have
10:16 pm
been on the terror watch list and individuals they have on the rowatchlist for terrorism are starting to exploit the southern border. we need to wake up. >> when you go to monument three and talk to the agent it is not just people from mexico or honduras source el salvador refining people from yemen, iran, turkey and people on the terrorist watch list there catching in the rushing all at once. elizabeth: also iraq and pakistan. your reaction. >> kevin mccarthy myself and a dozen members were in el paso yesterday and what we hear is a situation is dire and i have a hundred miles of texas mexico border and immigration is not a new topic for us it's the worst we've seen in decades and i urge nancy pelosi and this administration to come down, visit and listen to others not only republicans listen to democrats and local elected
10:17 pm
officials, ranchers, farmers, the situation is spiraling out of control and we need to act immediately. elizabeth: critics warn the border crossings will define the biden presidency but then we have this the san diego border, a man of illegal border crossing was arrested carrying in the fentanyl to kill a quarter of the u.s. population that the border patrol saying that and then and now past the euro 22 criminal illegal aliens trying were alreadyn who arrested for assault and robbery. that happened over the past few days. >> this crisis started in the rio grande valley and the dell real sector is escalating now there's two flights per day to go from the rio grande valley to el paso, that is 270 migrants per day that get processed in el paso. now we see places open up in midland and now dallas it is
10:18 pm
growing and growing it is growing out of control on the ground limiting women in green are border patrol agents are doing everything they possibly can but when they get pulled off the front lines to defend our nation in order to process migrants that is dangerous were a nation of immigrants, i believe in the american dream but were also a nation of laws and we have to support our border patrol and secure our southern border. elizabeth: congressman gonzales it's great to see you. thank you so much for joining us let's bring back onto the show national border patrol council vice president art del cueto itu is great to see you. your take on this nancy pelosi in the biden team say they inherited this crisis and then you have nbc correspondent jacob on msnbc that republicans are using unaccompanied children as
10:19 pm
political ponds did republicans go herself the children to thece border for political theater? >> several months ago i would not have called this a crisis yet but right now when we are seeing the detention facilities are overwhelmed and their resources are getting depleted in their moving agents from one area where they would patrol the border to take care of so many unaccompanied juveniles and were seen record numbers not just what we see turn themselves in were seen record numbers of individuals that have not been caught in certain areas and once again those numbers are just guesses in tucson sector alone so far this year we had over 40000 people that they are estimating got through and they don't know where they're at. elizabeth: you don't know where they went or where they were. >> where did they go, who are they, what are their intentions
10:20 pm
this is something that's been made and done under this administration and when you talk about political ponds there is nothing more of an example of using the children for political ponds when they're talking about the kids in cages during thes trump of administration and i will remind everyone now those pictures of the kids in cages were during the obama administration and using them as political ponds for the last of administration. that's who they have been using as political ponds. elizabeth: we hear what you're saying you're trying to cross into canada canada will detain you in separate your child from you if you are crossing that way. so we have republicans out in full force saying wait a second even mexico intelligence is warning the biden administration that your enabling incentivizing drug and human traffickers, organized crime and gain new
10:21 pm
prey on the same women and children trying to cross illegally. this is a boom time. is that message getting through that this is what thell issue is thatgh these women and children even men are getting attacked as they try to cross illegally? what do you think. >> they created a bonanza for criminals and criminal organizations to bring people across the border and they created a bonanza for the drugs to come into the country and one thing that we have to talk about is the sex trafficking they created and facilitated this for all the common organizations because of the lack of consequences in the open border rhetoric that's been going on across the country. elizabeth: what is the next step, how does this change. >> i think they need to look at the policies that were in place and see which policies were working at the same time they need to start focusing on how they can hire more judges and put them on the border and be able to fast-track and go through all these cases of the
10:22 pm
individuals that are claiming that fear, persecution to come to this country they need to fast-track instead of waiting and having people claim asylum and sendd them through and hopig sometime those cases are heard. they need to start taking a proactive stance and that's where it starts, you start enacting the policies that were in place before, remainder mexico was huge not only did it turn down these cases that were false but at the same time it allowed agents to do their work on the line instead of pulling them from those places and having the drug cartel run rampant through southern border. that's where you start your 20 policies work and move forward and i think there's nothing better than bringing new judges so they can see the actual asylum claims and returns are real and which ones c are fake. elizabeth: thank you for joining us in your service to our
10:23 pm

elizabeth: back with us now new york state assemblyman ed ra what do you say with governor cuomo's impeachment, what is the status of governor cuomo's impeachment? >> the democratic conference last week decided to move forward with ane inquiry to the assembly judiciary committee so my understanding the trying to get started with that in their hiring an outside law firm and it will be conducted by the sibley committee which does have subpoena power but there is actually a story that was posted in the last hour about the details of the meeting when they made the decision is clear the entire group was not on board with the approach and wanted to move more swiftly like the
10:28 pm
assembly republicans had to last week. elizabeth: might come faster than people realize. one of the seven accusers charlotte bennett revealed more shocking claims in a four hour sit down with investigators. she is saying basically she provided investigators at detail records and other documentary evidence to collaborate her accusation saying cuomo created a sexually charged toxic workplace that he used to like to brag about the size of his hand to women in looking for a girlfriend who is at least age 22 or older, he would date anyone over the age of 22 or older. this is unseemly stuff these accusations are true. are you guys going to add all of this how do you handle this do you add that or workplace retaliation to add obstruction of justice what are you going to do. >> our understanding the
10:29 pm
judiciary committee inquiry is ryreally open-ended to including all these different things i think it's obvious that anything that comes out further needs to be added as well. the other day we had this report that the county executive step estate were getting phone calls from the former secretary of the governor working on vaccine distribution which presents a clear threat that perhaps that could be jeopardized by not supporting the governor, this needs to be included in thehe investigation. elizabeth: people are saying that's grounds enough impeachment in the coded czar for the vaccine cuomo very short has been calling local county executives gauging their political support for cuomo in tying their vaccines apply to the political support they deny all of that and bill de blasio
10:30 pm
really angry. >> what we've heard is about the governor and his team trying to link vaccines apply to political support. that's the definition of corruption it is disgusting, it is dangerous there are lives on the line and it cannot be tolerated and needs to be a full investigation of that on top of the investigation of nursing home scandals and the investigation of the sexual harassment and molestation and it needs to be an investigation why a senior official in the governor's office clearly tried to link vaccines apply to political support. it's unacceptable and were not going to stand for and if we see any effort to reduce the vaccines apply to new york city as political retribution we will bring it out in the open. elizabeth: what do you think assembly men? >> i don't say this often but i
10:31 pm
agree with mayor de blasio, whether the vaccine came up directly in any of these calls is in material this is the individual that the county executives have been dealing with to get vaccines into the counties so i think it's pretty clear without person is calling you asking you to gauge your support for the governor and the implied threat is there. elizabeth: assemblyman ed ra good to see you, come back soon let's bring in young americans liberty analyst, kristinri tate. your reaction to what you just heard. >> things keep getting worse for cuomo but the question i keep asking why the outrage now the media and the democrats are looking like fools because the last year they have been telling us cuomo is a big hero in the washington post read it headline title can cuomo be the next fdr he was slow about the attorney general anyone in any award and
10:32 pm
for the majority of the same year we actually already knew about many of these cuomo scandals the same scandal that the democrats have been talking about in their outraged by the new york post reported on the details surrounding cuomo nursing them order back in april of last year and thousands of people die throughout the year cuomo lied about it in the press has ignored it and the arbitrary lockdown was devastating to thousands of new york business owners and workers who lost their jobs, why all of a sudden now the democrats and media calling for him to resign i suspect it's because the is no longer politically useful to them he was a very vocal anti-trump voice over the last year but trump is gone now and democrats have no use for them and he's become a liability i guess we are happy toli throw tm overboard this should happen a long time ago.
10:33 pm
elizabeth: a final word on this, another potential scandal for new york senators demanded investigation into governor cuomo deadly mandate of co-mingling over 19 patients in group homes for the disabled hundreds died and dozens of care workers passed away. youe does this go, what do think. >> it is heartbreaking as more new yorkers find out cuomo's favorability will continue to plummet and all these peopleav o died there just numbers and statistics to think about the thousands of families who lost loved ones these are human lives, sisters, brothers, aunts and uncles and it was a reckless media coverage over the last year that allowed cuomo to be reckless about human life and it is heartbreaking when you think about all the grieving families out there they deserve answers and every time cuomo was questioned about it i have a few brave reporters that would ask him he blamed everyone but himself he blamed trump in
10:34 pm
federal healthcare the workers orand nursing homes there's noby left to blame he must be held accountable. elizabeth: thank you for joining us it's good to see you. up next the daily caller editorial director vince cogianese democrats caught on a hot mic talking about ramming through and more government spending on infrastructure, how much will go to costly green new deal in the political reporting the nearly 2 trillion covid bill that is $60 billion in tax hikes. stay right there.

10:41 pm
[inaudible] >> most likely. elizabeth: why do we have a senate, why do we have a congress if it's going to ram through things in a simple majority vote. where are the checks and balances of that. >> why pretend that republicans are the ones who are partisan on the issue of infrastructure president trump kept proposing over and over over the past four years infrastructure spending plans for the united states it was democrats that kept him from passing one in the shoe is on the other foot and the saint who needs republican support will create a plan that only democrats are interested in passing and ramming through using budget reconciliation in a political way of ignoring the will of the people the united states senate.

brian: remember last fall nancy pelosi was accused of sitting on covid relief to deny trump a victory and give a victory to incoming president biden so now it's all about the biden tour on covid relief, 91% is not having to do with covid health measures they can't use bug enter budget reconciliation to jam their taxl hikes. >> not as far as j i know this s one of the things they can override senate parlayed into privateering whatever the outcome of the rd parliamentarian well it doesn't pass but they could do it anyway and it's a fear among republicans and democrats will do that with a 15-dollar minimum wage hike with the last covid package, the hearers could'vee overrode them. elizabeth: booklet for the class warfare rhetoric coming our way. we will breakp it down good to see you. tom del beccaro the man helping lead the charge to recall

that says 58 registered voters do not want him to run again but you cannot beat a blue state and claim that half the people signed are women over a third are non-republicans 36% and it's desperate and he's proving he's not up tote the job. elizabeth: we have bernie sanders supporters saying recall him. that is independence, grassroots, democrats but we have democrat senators elizabeth warren, cory booker they are starting to read pieces same rhetoric, what do you say to that? >> last december when they went on this attack that you're describing it actually helped us and rescue california.org got a boost when he did that we expect the same if they're bringing in stacey abrams and bernie sanders to california they are serious because the noise been trouble his approval rating went down in
10:49 pm
february and now it's up 41% in the latest poll that is the direction he's going in by sliming people out differences who don't like his job he's only adding fuel to the fire. elizabeth: he blamed the outrage for his lockdowns on devin nunes on climate change activist of small businesses he went on and on and, people were angry of what's going on with gavin newsom and three people arrested over the weekend after brawl broke out after protesting gavin newsom. you're worried about that? >> it's ridiculous to believe devin nunes he had no role in this, their kids have not gone back to school there lasted opening up, lasting kids sports, the boxing was bungled and all these things are wrongs those are serious issues so what does hes, do he tries to slime people
10:50 pm
so he does not want to face the issue and quite frankly he's not good on details and he could read a prompter buddies not really good at his job and he has not built consensus and that's why he's in trouble and that's what he will be recalled. elizabeth: did you notice something at the grammys celebrities not wearing masks breaking the governor locked on rules, this is shaping up to be a fight for 2024, what we see mississippi and texas removed mandates and the covid cases are dropping by double digits. were seeing comparison between california and florida in the jobless rate is almost double in california and cases per million in florida slightly higher in california but they haveor more seniors in new york and new jersey snowbirds line into florida, how do you see the shaping up for the 2024.

american people and we should have transparency and honest about those who served our public good. elizabeth: you can misuse campaign donations and still get a government pension. how does that square you can be charged with fraud and racketeering corruption and get a government pension. those are felonies they went to prison. forbes magazine nancy pelosi earn $6 million during your 35 year congressional career she stands to get anywhere from 100 - 150000 and government payouts she has a net worth of anywhere from 43000000 - 200000000. under the law she's allowed to get it but it feels really unseemly. >> it is unseemly and here's the isdeal this practice started in the 1940s i ran for congress and i know how many millionaires there are in congress and way

too many to be drawing a public pension after only five years in congress and this needs to stop we need to open the books and writing the laws that essentially congress people do not deserve pension and they don't deserve on the taxpayers dime. elizabeth: congress is the one that write the laws and they change the law for in 2003 saying that congress cannot turn down their government pension. they are the ones writing the law. >> the swamp is going to look out in the swamp should not be shocked but we don't highlight stories and capable for on the american mind but no one would think a congresswoman like nancy pelosi should be taking money from a convicted felon would also be doing that as well.
