6:03 pm
facilities. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show. you're watching the fox business network. we begin with texas congressman louie gohmert. he joins us, great to have you on, congressman? >> always good to talk to you, elizabeth and thank you. you're on top of this story as well. elizabeth: thank you so much. what did you make of texas democrat, a democrat saying that biden administration is touting fake photos of an empty border facility in donna, texas, he says wait a second the illegal border-crossers were simply moved next door to another facility what do you think of this story? >> well it is exactly consistent what biden wanted to do, his administration. they do not want to slow down the 170,000 or so that came across last month. by the way, you multiply 170 times 12 that is over two
6:04 pm
million for one year. but he has no interest in slowing down the invasion into this country. all he wants to do is get more people, more american, homeland security, health and human services down there at the border to move them out more quickly. so, elizabeth, that is exactly what he has done here. he didn't move anybody across to the other side of the border. he didn't slow anybody coming down. what he did was move them over just a little bit, and the democrats are talking about it henry cuellar. we have differences of agreement but i always found him to be very honest and honorable. you know, really disease real dt guy. he is honest what he is seeing. that of course is quite refreshing. every time i'm down on the border. they're not slowing people down.
6:05 pm
in fact, elizabeth, they installed a red button down there right on our side of the river out in just the middle of nowhere, they have a tower so you can see it from aways off, and a solar plate. it says in spanish and english and, i'm not sure the other language, come push this red button and border patrol will pick you up immediately. it is in the middle of nowhere. they process them. they move the kids out. elizabeth: so we're going to stay on that story. we'll check it out. i mean you know, resorting to fake photos to try to claim the border is fixed. we also have the white house press secretary basically blaming the media for saying this is a crisis. also jen psaki says a much smaller percentage of the public care about this border challenge she calls it than the economy or
6:06 pm
pandemic. she is accused of topspin, saying unaccompanied children are going down. we have nearly 23,000 unaccompanied children still being held by the government. that is at or near record highs. the topspin still coming in from the white house. what do you say? >> that is exactly -- each time i've been recently, the number of kids is increasing. i'm hearing from border patrol down there every night are saying the kids are coming in droves. we have never seen this number of unaccompanied kids. in the past they were usually accompanied but call them unaccompanied. elizabeth, they are really unaccompanied. they're coming in numbers we've never seen before. this is incredible. this is an invasion. when you had people come across the border from mexico, like pancho villa, kill ad few american families, they sent
6:07 pm
the, crs said, 10 to 90,000 american troops into mexico but this is more of an invasion than pancho villa ever was and this administration's solution just keep moving them in, shipping them around the country. and they are right. they're not with the border patrol. but as henry cuellar pointed out they're moving them over to health and human services facilities. they're lying. elizabeth: congressman louie gohmert. thanks for joining us. come back on again soon. >> i would love to. elizabeth: yeah, sure. former acting dhs secretary chad wolf. chad, you and i have been talking about this for years. "the evening edit" we decide to cover this because it's a economic issue, it is a national security issue. it impacts borders, states, cities, towns, it is an economic issue. we have henry cuellar say
6:08 pm
catch-and-release 18,500 have been released into the interior without court papers to show up for the hearings. that is up by more than 3,000 in two weeks time. what is going on there? >> well, again continues to be a crisis and i agree with the congressman on many of his comments in the earlier segment but what you have with family units coming across the border. took at the that population alone in the month of march, 53,000 family units. these folks are release needs the interior, some without court dates as you mentioned. these are folks going into communities. when you say not, that every community in the u.s. is now a border community because these individuals, these groups that are moving into the country don't stay along that southwest border, don't stay in south texas, arizona, other places. they go to every community around the country. it is concerning. it is concerning that the biden administration continues to ignore enforcing the rule of law on that border. there is no consequence for
6:09 pm
these individuals coming across that border illegally. until they assign a consequence, a immigration consequence, hold them accountable, you will continue to see these numbers continue to spike. elizabeth: republican congressman michael waltz talked to us about another disturbing number. it is about the percentage he said of women and children sexually assaulted trying to cross illegally. this is a humanitarian issue. watch this. >> what breaks my heart is the father of a teenage girl, 30 to 40% according to international ngos of girls especially, boys as well, are being sexually assaulted and sold into trafficking. they take money from the poor families that are so desperate. then they sell, they, then they sell them into trafficking. it is just truly sad and disgusting and the biden administration doesn't seem to care. elizabeth: you know, sir, you know, we're not going to criticize what other media like
6:10 pm
msnbc and cnn choose to report or nbc, cbs, abc, what they choose to report and don't singularly report. we're singularly focused on the issue. it's a humanitarian issue. we have a boat capsized off of san diego. illegal immigrants in the boat said they paid up to 18,000 to be smuggle abouted in. three dead, the captain was arrested and charged in federal court. so why is this being downplayed and not given more attention in washington? >> well it is a great question. elizabeth: all of this story is being downplayed. >> we talked about it for years which is the dangerous journey a lot of these migrants partake in. somewhere in the case of 2000 miles they're traversing mexico and approaching the southwest border. obviously to do that, they have to pay the cartels and smugglers and traffickers to do that. there is a lot of violence that goes on in that process. there is a lot of abuse that
6:11 pm
goes on in the process. women, children, and the like. i will say that you know, whether you're talking about the obama administration or the trump administration our message was similar in a sense of please don't come and we put measures in place. then we removed individuals that were here. that is a complete 180 from the biden administration. they are actively encouraging folks to come to this border which is the most inhumane message that you can send individuals to put themselves in the hands of these smugglers and others will have a very dangerous journey. so instead of telling them about the dangers, what the message out of the administration is, come, the border is open. if you get here you will remain here in the u.s. i continue to say that in of itself is the most inhumane policy you can have. elizabeth: caitlyn jenner, running to be the governor of california, is getting
6:12 pm
criticized for the support of border security and a border wall. listen to caitlyn jenner with sean hannity. watch this. >> i am all for the wall. i would secure the wall. we can't have a state, we can't have a country without a secure wall. i am for securing this state. i am pro law enforcement. i am pro border protection, okay? i.c.e., pro-i.c.e. we need these people and they do a wonderful job. elizabeth: it should be pointed out that democrats barack obama, hillary clinton, chuck schumer, and joe biden were saying the exact same thing in the 2000s. what do you say to that? >> well, we know all of those positions being for effective border security, being for law enforcement. these are positions that most reasonable americans, the vast majority of americans agree with. so it is quite stunning which is exactly why president obama, senator clinton and others held those positions just a short
6:13 pm
period of time ago but again, whether it is the main street media, or the fringe of the democrat party, wants to have this open border policy in effect. i think there will be a lot of pushback and a lot of just, you know, again pushback on those issues coming over the next year or so. it is very interesting to watch. elizabeth: chad wolf, great to see you, come back soon, okay? >> all right. thank you. elizabeth: sure. still ahead, gone congressman guy reschenthaler will talk to us about his take about this new development. top democrats fear, yes the democrats will lose control of the house in the midterms next year but look at this, will fractious gop infighting ruin republican chances to take back control of the house? the story next. >> this republican party is a very big tent. everyone is invited in. you look at the last election. we continue to grow.

fears are growing, infighting, fight over liz cheney is going to wreck republicans chances to take back control of the house and midterms. what do you say? >> liz, first off, thanks for having me on. as always, call me guy. what would ruin the chances of taking back the house in 22 if we continue to deal with the number three ranking member in house leadership constantly looking in the rear view mirror, constantly attacking leadership, attacking leader mccarthy and talking about past issues. we need somebody like he will he will lease stefan nick will focus on the future and attacking joe biden and democrats, focusing on what they're doing and not each other. elizabeth: liz cheney is saying, you know about it, "washington post" op-ed, former president trump is saying that the vote was rigged, it was a sham election.
6:19 pm
she is disagreeing with that, feels that he is misleading the republican party. you're saying this is backward looking. some people are saying well, they don't want the republican party headed in that direction but, and then there is this. we've got a "gallup poll" saying 57% of americans, majority of expect that yeah, we're going to pay more in taxes to cover biden's of trillion -- $6 trillw spending. biden is not willing to deficit spend. it is about $6 trillion and the treasury just quad draw pelled the borrowing estimates to pay all the stimulus, when the economy was booming when biden sat down in the oval. gas and consumer prices are rising. your reaction? >> therein lies the problem, instead of being in the "washington post" talking about biden's far left agenda, his
6:20 pm
raising taxes kowtowing to the chinese communist party, instead of talking about that, the article was folk liz cheney wrote about about the 2020 election. we can't view the lens in 2004 or 2020 for that matter. we have to focus on the combating the radical left policies off the biden administration, drawing attention to the public how joe biden was a bait and switch. how he ran as a centrist and governing as if bernie sanders would govern. that is why liz needs to go as conference chair. we need somebody like elise stefanik to come in and focus on 202. elizabeth: i hear you, i don't want to belabor the point. liz cheney says the trump is relitigating the 2020 election. that is hanging up the party too. biden is demanding everyone paying fair share for all the
6:21 pm
spending. he kept bringing it up in speech before congress and said it today, you have to pay your fair share, biden and his wife used llcs to avoid paying half a million bucks for payroll taxes and obamacare. they used llcs to shelter $13 million of book and speech income as profits. they avoided payroll taxes that way, setting up sort of shell llcs. so much weirdness going out there, critics say what is with the republican an fighting. people are saying what are you doing? what are you guys doing? get focused even former top chairs of the democrats campaign arm, the dccc, including martin frost say, yeah, nancy pelosi you will lose the gavel next year because of redistricting and retirements. feels like the republicans are all over the map here. >> no. we're going to rip the bandaid and we'll get rid of leaders that want to look backward and relitigate issues. by the way it wasn't president trump that wrote the article in the "washington post."
6:22 pm
it was liz cheney. liz cheney doesn't miss any opportunity to go on other networks and bash republicans. we need to get liz cheney out so we can message on the craziness from joe biden. that is how we'll win in 22. elizabeth: okay. let's move on to this. why are republicans getting in on the pork action? half a dozen gop senators are also planning to ask for earmarks for their districts even though the gop senate caucus banned them in 2019. are we going to have more alaska bridges to know where all over the place? >> no. here's why. when earmarks were banned all it did was give power to the executive branch. somebody who represents a republican district in southwestern pennsylvania, if i want to have money allotted to the district without earmarks i would have to talk to 22-year-old recent graduate from a ivy league school in the department explain how dams in the river work. no one knows better than the representative. this is article i section one
6:23 pm
power we have in the constitution. we should make decisions as elected officials. there is transparency, accountability. at the end of the day the constituents are served better. additionally when earmarks were banned. you didn't see any savings. the money is appropriated. with earmark you're appropriating money directing how it is spent in the district. if we don't have this, all money will go go to democrat districts in battleground states to help democrats. at least this way republicans get funding back. elizabeth: sounds like you're defending, it sounds like you're defending swampy behavior? >> no. it is here the options. do you want joe biden and administration making these decisions or do you want republicans making the decisions like constitution calls for? the money is still going to spent regardless. i think i know more about my district than some woke staffer in the biden administration. elizabeth: i don't know if we need another yoga center in
6:24 pm
new jersey. paid for by taxpayers. >> look -- elizabeth: that was a lot of fun. >> i need a lot in my district. biden doesn't care about my district like i do. why we need those earmarks back. thanks, liz. elizabeth: good to see you. come back soon. call you guy next time. >> fair. elizabeth: up next, ford o'connell he is fired up. he will weigh in on this story. look at this covid cases are dropping. vaccinations are rising. outrage exploding. look at the new footage coming in. parents really upset at a school board meeting. they don't like over the top restrictions from k-12 children that school board wants. we have the story next. >> no more masks! no more masks! no more masks! no more masks!

6:30 pm
developmental and cognitive, emotional learning more than they ever worth. my heart is out to them. we need to get back to normal f people want to wear masks in school, it should be optional. elizabeth: i shouldn't be facetious about it before. this is serious stuff. my apologies. the cdc project as sharp decline of covid cases in july. let's go through it. the cases at the lowest level in seven months. four in 10 adults vaccinated. states like wisconsin, west virginia, zero covid deaths. cities like new york, chicago looking to full open. i don't know if you saw this, he was stopped at sears store in brooklyn for not wearing a mask. he says he can't wear one because he says he has a medical condition. we saw that video coming in. he is getting yelled at. the lockdown insanity continues. the mayor of washington, d.c. doubles down on her ban, even outdoor -- saying no dancing outdoors at events like weddings, even if everyone is
6:31 pm
vaccinated, she is defending this, saying you can go on having weddings. listen to the mayor of washington, d.c., here. watch this. >> on may 1st we were proud of our residents and businesses who made conditions in d.c. such that we can start opening up these facilities. alternate headline may be, now you can host a wedding in washington, d.c., a regional meeting. you can have your friends and family for a family reunion in birthday parties at our hotels and restaurants. elizabeth: guess what? you know, critics might say we don't answer to you. we're allowed to go on with our lives the way we choose to. it is not up to you to decide how we're going to live our lives. what do you say? >> i think you're absolutely right here, emac. look, i think this is unfortunately become a con. they never want us to go back to normal. when you see some of this goalpost moving, these changing
6:32 pm
regulations you almost have to start questioning the cdc what normal actually is. because essentially this is about stoking fear and maintaining control. i can't believe in this day and age in the 21st century american citizens have to be told by the government when they can have their individual rights back and when they can do things that are actually in the constitution. it is a sad day. i hope people starting to see through this. yes, we need to be safe but we cannot continue to allow the government to get bigger and to take our rights away. elizabeth: you know the other thing too, is the media is often top down. they look at the macro national level stuff. we look what the local leaders are saying. and what the local leaders are saying is flat-out patently absurd. the new york state budget director compares covid lockdowns on restaurants to fire code restrictions, a lot more people die in fires than from covid-19, in restaurants and bars. 1.4% case rate there. so the rhetoric is over the top.
6:33 pm
then you have the cdc director, she is being asked to resign by the north carolina congressman, ford, after cdc used verbatim language from the teachers union about reopening schools. she is advising that summer campers age 2 and up must wear masks at all time and at summer camp even outdoors, enconcluding vaccinated adults. really. >> the lengths people go to justify the insanity, to your point, i agree the cdc is penetrated by people who actually want to keep us locked down. they're not concerned about the science. i'm right there with you. i hope people wake up to this and understand what their rights are, they exercise it and be safe as well. elizabeth: well we have mixed messages, right? the white house covid advisor andy slavitt saying vaccinated adults don't need to wear masks outside. your final word on that, ford, right, mixed messaging? >> it is the mixed messaging it creates greater fear.
6:34 pm
it means fewer and fewer people are going to get vaccinated. you need to reward people for getting vaccinated. if you say they need a max we'll not get vaccinated to a 60, 70% clip like we hope to. elizabeth: she is saying vaccinated people are not spreading covid. that is what andy slavitt said. final word, take it. >> all right. i gotten vaccinated. i hope every else does it as well. elizabeth: got it, ford. coming up janice dean with her reaction to powerful senate republicans demanding that the senate finance committee investigate new york governor andrew cuomo over his coverup of nursing home deaths tied to cuomo's order putting covid patients back into senior facilities. janice dean next.

janice dean whose in-laws passed away from covid-19 in new york nursing homes. janice, great to see you. this is getsing serious. six republican senators in senate finance are demanding that they investigate governor andrew cuomo and his nursing home order requiring patients to be put back in. >> i think it's a nice gesture but i don't think it will happen because democrats control congress. i thank all the republican senators stepping up for the little guy. elizabeth: so we have the fbi investigating what is going on with the various cuomo scandals. we have the doj investigating. we have an impeachment probe. we have again, seems like, is it your sense that governor cuomo is doubling down and ratcheting up the rhetoric, you know, in terms of the blame game. yesterday he blamed the cdc, he said it was an order, an order to put nursing home, recovering
6:40 pm
patients back into nursing home. it wasn't an order. it was a guideline. florida didn't follow it. what do you think of cuomo's rhetoric right now? >> it is really difficult to watch him every single day on television. like seeing your abuser, it is just disheartening. it makes us angry. it makes us think he is not going anywhere despite all of our efforts the last year and he continues to get away with it. i am hoping there is justice with all of these investigations. it is the reason why he lawyered up. not for the sexual harrassment scandals but for the deaths of over 15,000 seniors. to watch him yesterday blame everybody else but the guy who signed the order to put 9,000 covid positive patients in nursing homes for 46 days and have the document scrubbed from the health department website. there is great reporting by
6:41 pm
"the new york times" last week detailing how they went through the process of hiding those numbers. you know for months and months and months and it all sort of corresponded with his trying to sell the 4 million-dollar book about leadership. so if that is not obstruction of justice i'm not sure what is but i'm not really, i'm not thinking that anything is going to happen to him. you know, there is apparently an impeachment process but i don't believe it is going to happen. elizabeth: but, janice, the data that was put out there misled medicare and medicaid. medicare and medicaid pay for nursing home patients right? if they don't get the true date that that is a problem for the federal government. the federal government needed to track, needed to track new york state deaths and pandemic levels of deaths because new york was a superspreader to other states. so they didn't have the right
6:42 pm
data. do you think hhs should investigate? >> yes. i think there should be many investigations into this. i think this should be one of the biggest stories of the pandemic, what happened here in new york. cuomo was the only governor that decided not to count those that died in the hospital like my mother-in-law. she got covid in her assisted living resident but died in the hospital but her number doesn't count. if it wasn't for tish james the attorney general releasing her report saying yes, this governor was not counting those that died in the hospital and therefore not correct. it is all indications are they did everything in their power they could to hide those numbers for months. elizabeth: janice, you know, officially they buried the numbers and didn't show it but behind the scenes we have got reports that they were tracking as of april of last year where,
6:43 pm
internally where the deaths were going, right, janice? that feels absolutely misleading. >> absolutely. >> your final word, go ahead. >> of course. everything about this is misleading from the governor blaming everyone except the man who signed the mandate himself. not taking any responsibility whatsoever. he continues to blame president trump for all of his lies. it is really incredible. you know, i just hope we're on the side of the the angels and that will prevail in the end. elizabeth: janice dean, good to see you. thanks for joining us. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: sure. former special assistant to put president george w. bush, he is brad blakeman. he will join us on this conflict of interest accusation except biden official jennifer granholm. why is the vice president touting an electric vehicle company that could make millions for his energy secretary? the story next

♪. elizabeth: let's welcome former special assistant to president george w. bush. he is brad blakeman. brad, okay, let's talk about this democrat conflict of interest. why is the president and the vice president touting this electric vehicle company protara , when jennifer granholm, the energy secretary owns $5 million worth of stock in it? >> this reminds me of solyndra, the biden, obama, disaster, picked a california solar company startup, they had ties to obama and biden. they visited the plant. what happened? they secured a 500 million-dollar loan. you know what happened to that loan? it went bankrupt. the loan was never paid and the american people got caught holding the bag. this is the same type of, in my
6:49 pm
opinion, favoritism, croneyism we're seeing with this company. it is unconscionable an official with the u.s. government, in this case a cabinet secretary, the energy secretary, has allowed herself to be caught in the middle saying she was blindsided i don't agree she was. nothing the president said is not scrubbed by the cabinet agencies when it involves them. here you have a company that the energy secretary had an interest in, sat on the board, is now getting touted by the biden administration. elizabeth: yeah. biden administration wants to spend $174 billion on electric vehicles. looks like the illinois democrat governor jb pritzker and his family invested in this too. the other thing, people say, well being this company protara may not go public. wyoming republican senator john barrasso on senate energy wants an investigation.
6:50 pm
here is how it may go public. it could go public by avoiding wall street and regulatory scrutiny going through the special purpose acquisition vehicle, a shell a spac. it gets acquired by the spac and spac goes public. you don't look at protara's financials. then jennifer granholm doesn't violate a 2012 federal law that says federal officials can't participate in a ipo. this thing is starting to stink to high heaven. >> it does. remember who secretary granholm is, she is harvard-educated lawyer. she was the attorney general of michigan. she was the u.s. attorney in michigan. she is no babe in the woods when it comes to legal procedure. finding loopholes is what democrats are famous for. do as i say, not as i do. and it is up to republicans. it is incumbent upon republicans to shed light on this. fox sounded the alarm on this in january. it is about, it's about time,

♪ elizabeth: we welcome back to the show florida congresswoman kat tam act. what is this story about facebook allowing drug and human traffickers to solicit and advertise on their site? what's going on here? >> well, good evening. it's great to be back, and thank you for helping me get the word out on this. you know, it's absolutely crazy. when i was at the border, i talked to several foreign nationals, some that were teenagers, some that were adults, some that were, honestly, little kids. and repeatedly i kept hearing that they found out how to come to the united states illegally through facebook. and so i'm a millennial, i figured, hey, i'll take a look.
6:56 pm
so i started doing some basic searches on my phone, and lo and behold, there are not only private groups and public groups set up to entice people and teach people how to come to the united states illegally, but there are active advertisements that facebook is hosting on their platform encouraging people -- the crazy thing is they all come with dollar figurings. one was 9300, another was 6000. they're not only using this platform with targeted ads, it's justen conscionable, but then the their using the platform to negotiate lo gist ins, providing what's app numbers owned by facebook, and we're seeing first 'emhand just how absolutely complicit facebook is in this human smuggling, trafficking ring x. if you look at the earnings from facebook just last quarter, $27 billion in q1 alone. that's cartel money that has gone to facebook to pay for
6:57 pm
these ads. it's unconscionable. elizabeth: well,, it's a lot of -- not all cartel is the $27 billion not -- but we hear what you're saying. >> no. elizabeth: i understand what you're saying. but it's in that dollar figure and, basically, you're saying facebook is enabling cartel and human traffickers. and, by the way, we're hearing 4 out of 10 who come here illegally get assaulted, sexually assaulted, women and children. so that ooh he's story, congresswoman. we wanted to talk to you about this too, we know that the government documents revealed in arizona and montana's lawsuit against the biden administration, now we're seeing numbers, congresswoman, worse than realized. it's 8,000 criminal illegal aliens, even those convicted of homicide and sexual assault, could evade deportations because they're not classified as, quote, priority for enforcement. that's what's coming to light in these government documents. what do you say to that?
6:58 pm
>> again, it's just the more that we encover, the -- uncover, the more horrific this situation becomes. we already knew this was an emergency, a crisis. heck, we knew the numbers whether it is the drugs that are being con first candidated up 5,000 -- con first candidated up 5,000% last year on fentanyl, the numbers, this is not a seasonal trend, this is absolutely a response the president biden's executive order and his rhetoric of encouraging people to come here illegally. and if you look at the gotaways, keep in mind this is just people who have been seen on camera or by a border patrol agent, 158,000 this year alone have gotten away. and those are the people who aren't turning themselves in to border patrol. those are the criminals. those are the sex offenders. and i can tell you i spoke personally with a 9-year-old little girl from guatemala, she could barely tell me her name because she had been gang raped by the cartel to the point that her vocal cords had given out from screaming.
6:59 pm
these are the type of people that we're dealing with. these folks that are coming here to do ill will illegally. now, this is a lot of folks that are coming here because they want a better life, for sure. but when you look at the ones that are actively avoiding the border patrol agents, the ones that are seeking to divert innocent lives and then get away from border patrol agents, those are the folks that are coming into our country to do ill will. and the ones that have been released -- elizabeth: we hear you. >> yeah, incredible. and i think at the end of the day americans just want law and order. they want enforcement of the laws on the books, and that's exactly the opposite -- elizabeth: we're seeing deportations hitting historic lows, the lowest ever since i.c.e. started keeping the records,less than 3,000 individuals reported in april. bidened had ordered i.c.e. to stop arresting and detain thing illegal aliens unless convicted of aggravated felony. your final word, you've got ten seconds. >> i think, again, americans
7:00 pm
want to see the laws enforced on the books. it is very demoralizing for our i.c.e. agents if they can't actually follow the law and do the their job, so i'm asking president biden, do your job. length length congresswoman, thanks for joining us. it's good to see you. >> good to see you. elizabeth: i'm elizabeth macdonald, you've been watching "the evening edit" on fox business. have a good evening, join us again tomorrow night. ♪♪ larry: hello, everyone. welcome back to "kudlow." i'm larry kudlow. this evening i want to continue our discussion about the extraordinary importance of senator tim scott's rebuttal to president biden's state of the union message a week ago. last night on the show we had a great discussion with katie pavlich and guy benson about the significance of mr. scott's remarks. i mean, when can anyone remember a rebuttal speech that was more important, more significant, more insightful
