tenney, jason chaffetz, sol wisenberg,ra phillip holloway, a former police officer and d.a., assistant d.a., and also arizona attorney general mark brnovich. tonight, president biden, where is he on environmentalists being really angry that he is green lighting russia's polluting nordstream ii pipeline after environmentalists condemned it for breaking international laws and polluting? and governor andrew cuomo and cnn anchor chris cuomo accused of abuses of power, reports that chris cuomo advised his politician brother on how to push back in the media against multiple women accusing governor cuomo of sexual harassment and assault. cnnar not disciplining chris cuomo, proving what matters is

not the truth. it's not what these women are alleging, it is about cnn protecting the cuomo family and power as the justice department expands its criminal probe into ordering state doctors, nurses and labs to do secret vip covid testing for cuomo's family and friends including chris cuomo out at his house in the hamptons. why isn't a commission formed to investigate the cuomo family? plus, top republican senators demand e-mails and more from the cdc and hhs demanding they come clean on colluding with the teachers union to keep schools shut. and we've got an historic police exodus in cities hit by riots, looting and defund the police just as there is a plunge in new police recruits. also senator mitch mcconnell accusing the biden administration of again playing a shell game on the border, sending illegals back and forth between government agencies in order tohe make the numbers look better.

"the evening edit," we're going to start it right now. ♪♪ elizabeth: let's start with republican claudia tenney. it's great to have you on, congressman. what do you think of this new house intelligence report about covid-19 escaping from the wuhan lab? it looks like they've got more evidence of that than that it exists in nature. what do you think? >> well, that is not a big with surprise. we've been on this, and we heard about it. there's been some famous sequences between senator rand ulpaul and dr. fauci. we know through the echo health alliance which is sort of a proxy for the wuhan lab that we've indirectly funded this lab with united states money. we know china is developing biological weapons, we know they've been involved in working with covid-19, covid viruses, you know, for years, and now this is being revealed by intelligence. it's time for the chinese to come forward and admit what happened and tell us the truth. we shouldn't have to do an

investigation. they should come clean, you know, with the world health organization and all off us. elizabeth: the u.s. agency for international development also is said to have funded this research as well. should dr. fauci and the cdc, hhs, should everybody open the books and give a full accounting, show all the records? >> absolutely. i think the american people have a right to know. this t virus kill over half a million people just in the united states alone, and it has shut down our economy, shut down businesses, it's been a tragedy, and china needs to be held accountable. i'd like too see the transparency. i think it'se time now to put those records out. elizabeth: devin nuñes says there's a chance u.s. funding may have helped wuhan labs secretly working with the chinese military to do this supervirus research. you know, the nih lifted ban on that research in 2017. sit tight, claudia, congresswoman, we're going to come back to you, here's the president talking about the ceasefire now between the israel and p hamas.

>> -- spoken with prime minister netanyahu, earlierh today i spoe with presidential i is sissy of- el sisi of egypt. israel has agreed the a mutual unconditional ceasefire to begin in less than two hours. the egyptians have have now informed us that hamas and the other groups in gaza have also agreed. my conversation with president netanyahu, i commended him for the decision to bring the current hostilities to a close in less than 11 days. i also emphasized what i said throughout this conflict. the united states fully supports israel's right to defend itself against indiscriminate rocket attacks fromd hamas and other gaza-based terrorist groups that have taken the lives of innocent civilians in israel. the prime minister also shared with me his appreciation for the iron dome system which our nations developed together and which has saved lives of countless israelid citizens, bh

arab and jew. i assured him of my full support to replenish israel's iron dome system, to insure its security future. overni the last 11 days, i've spoken with the prime minister 6 times, also spoken with president abbas of the palestiniann authority as part f our intense diplomatic engagement. and i want to also thank the secretary of state, our national security adviser and everyone on our team for their incredible efforts to bring about this outcome we're about to see. you know, we've held intensive high-levelle discussions hour by hour literally. egypt, the palestinian authority and other middle eastern countries with the name of avoiding the sort of prolonged conflict we've seen in previous years when hostilities have broken out. i extend my sincere gratitude to president el sisi and the senior egyptian officials who played such a critical role in this

diplomacy. i also appreciate the contributions of other parties in the region who have been engaged in working toward the end of hostilities. these hostilities have resulted in a tragic death -- in the tragic deaths of so many civilians including children, and i send my sincere condolences to all the families, israeli and palestinian, who have lost loved ones and my hope for a full recovery for the wounded. the united states committed to working with the united nations, and we remain committed to working with the united nations and other international stakeholders to provide rapid humanitarian assistance and to martial international support for the people of gaza and the gaza reconstruction efforts. we will do this in full partnership with the palestinian authority, notni hamas, the authority, in a manner that does not permit hamas to simply restock its military arsenal. i believe the palestinians and israelis equally deserve to live safely and securely and to enjoy

call measures of freedom, prosperity and democracy. my administration will continue our quiet, relentless diplomacy toward that end. iie believe we have a genuine opportunity to make progress, and i'm committed to working for it. i want to thank you all, and may god bless you all and pray that this continues. thank you so much. [inaudible conversations] elizabeth: okay. that was president biden announcing the ceasefire between israel and hamas. congresswoman claudia ten theny back with us. -- tenny back with us. the president also talking about democracy and peace for the gaza strip as well. congresswoman, what did you think of that? >> well, he just talked about being quiet and diplomatic, but from the very beginning he has projected weakness. and when you project weakness in the middle east, the bad players are going to take advantage. like hamas. there was an election that was

canceled, and that's a among the reasons they sent over 4,000 missiles into israel where israel had to respond. this is concerning that he's going to continue to maybe work with iran who is also, you know, a ma live lent -- malevolent player in the field. we don't know how much iran has participated or cooperated with hamas. i'm concerned the palestinian authority is weak. we knoww that president abbas is weak, and he doesn't -- he, you know, doesn't have a large coalition behind him that the were canceled may have been devastating for him. i'm concerned that president biden -- i'm very grateful for the ceasefire, i think it's great news, and kudos to him and there administration for getting there right now. i think this is an ongoing issue, but we cannot project weakness. we must project strength which is why the policies put in place by president trump were so successful in bringingum about e peace accord, the abraham accords and others. you know, small steps, but they

were magnificent and fantastic, something we haven't seen in the middle east. i worry, i still worry -- i hold out hope that there will be peace, but hamas is emboldened in some ways, and we'll see how -- i pray it's lasting, but we'll see where this ends up. elizabeth: yeah. there was talk of president trump getting the nobel peace prize for the abraham accords. there's also talk of fears of a third intifada, you know, what's happening betweenen israel and hamas. we've got 200 killed in the gaza strip, a dozennen israelis killed as well. it look like a ceasefire for now, feels tenuous. so that's what's happening now. so how does this play into a future iran deal? >> i'm very concerned that president biden is going to put us back into an iran deal. the former jcpoa which president trump smartly got us out of did not protect us in the region.

he put maximum pressure, that was the campaign that was devised by the trump white house that really brought us this abraham accords and a hope for the middle east for the first time in my lifetime anyway. i'm very concerned. i hope that he continues to be strong and use the pressure and theur strength that is projected by president trump, it would be great for president biden. i t think it would bring us lasting peace. elizabeth: congresswoman, thanks so much for joining us. really appreciate it. let's bring in former hhs assistant secretary dr. brett giroir. we're talking a lot about geopolitics tonight. we want to shift over to what is going on in china. this is the a serious issue. we can't have another pandemic like we've experienced. did the u.s. fund china's supervirus research in. >> well, thanks for having me on i do share the assessment of the republican security committee that the most likely origin of this virus was the wuhan institute of virology.

there is no specific smoking gun, but the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming, and the lack of another explanation is equally overwhelming. and i think very clearly back in the 2014-2015 era the nih was funding research that was published and we know about it about gain of function i mutations op on this type of virus. and i think there is a lot of investigation that needs to be done. if youou look at the series of grants that were funded, they all talked about bats, they all talked about coronavirus. but i would bet dollars to doughnuts that the nih does not have record or controls to understand exactly what was done. so it's very possible we did fund this research. elizabeth: why help china fund this research when its labs have been known to be unsafe? sars leaked out of a beijing lab in 2004. 200 quarantined, multiple people got sick. why help china which has a history of being up safe and

accredits its own lab, and the military in china is thought to be involved here? why help china do this work? >> i think the american people deserve specific answers to all those questions. you know, it's not just about funding good science. there are implications to what hagets funded. there's danger, you know, a worldwide pandemic that could have arisen because of it. there's the potential for funding biological weapons that couldd be used against our allies. it's not just about getting a good grant in and everybody saying, this is great, let's fund it. it's about all these other issues that you point out so accurately. i think we need a congressional investigation, i thinkig we need specific oversight. we have to get to the bottom of this because that research is still ongoing there and in a number of other labs in china and around the world, many of whom we probably fund. elizabeth: dr. fauci adamantly denies this, then says there was a minor collaboration, minor amount of money.

doesn't acknowledge that he wrote an op is ed saying, yeah, in order to get vaccines. then the nih lifts the ban on funding in 2017. opening the books, a commission into this? >> well, 100% we need to, quote, open the books. the problem is i can an guarantee you that the nih doesn't have the records of what actually they funded. the grants are are not like a contract. you sort of send money, and at the end of the year you write a little report about what i did on summer vacation. it really is that sort of that lax. that works very. well in the united states, and i want to kkeep that to support our researchers, but when you're talking about places likela chi. you need to be much more rigorous. we need to get to the bottom of this. elizabeth: okay. thank you so much for joining us. come back soon. still ahead, jason chaffetz will help us break down this story, did president biden throw environmentalists under the bus

green lighting russia's polluting nordstream ii pipeline roafter they condemned it for violatingin international conventions? so kill the keystone pipeline over pollution, but okay russia's polluting, that's okay? the story next. ♪♪

elizabeth: joining us now, fox news contrir jason chaffetz. it's good to see you again. okay, the president green lights and okays russia's polluting nordstream ii, but greenpeace, world wildlife fund, environmentalists say this gas pipeline out of russia, this fuel pipeline is ruining the ocean,li ruining beaches. so did the president just throw environmentalists under the bus? >> i think he threw everybody under the bus. i mean, in america he shut down the keystone pipeline. he said that he thought it was bad for the environment, but then goes over and appeases russia. i mean, how long did they accuse donald trump of being a shill for russia? ends up joe biden is doing favors for russia. so nobody's happy here. nobody's happy about, you know, cuddling up and doing what vladimir putin wanted. and then the environmentalists

bring up all these environmental concerns, and they're upset too. so it really does beg the question, liz, why would they do this? why prioritize russia over the united states of america? it does not make sense. elizabeth: let's stay on your point. if trump had done this, if he had green lighted the nordstream pipeline after one of his children got more m than $3 million from the wife of the former mayor of moscow -- that being hunter biden -- there would be screams of impeachment again. this okay? >> it's not okay. this is the whole point, it's misdirection by the democrats who screamed russia, russia, russia on everything that had to do with donald trump and then we're barely 1 is 00 plus days into the biden administration, look at all the things he's done to appease and make things easier for russia? but at the same time, what's so offensive are thee people who would have and did make their money on the keystone pipeline.

the president didn't take but a few hours to shut down our ability to be energy independent and close off energy production on public lands. particularly out west in utah and in nevada, in wyoming. boy, these are real jobs, good paying jobs and the ability to fuel our future. but he seems to be spending a lot more time worried about getting, you know, fuel from russia into eastern europe, and that's what's so offensive, makes no sense, and it's certainly not good, in the best interest of the united states oe america. why do this, mr. prime presiden? elizabeth: the biden administration, a week ago russian hackers shut down the u.s.' biggest pipeline, the cloal january. just like russia shut down ukraine's power. to we've got white house press secretary jen psaki saying how can you stop a pipeline in another country that's 95% built

when the keystone pipeline was fully completed more than ten years ago? we just don't understand the logic of blocking key stoarntion opposing dakota access, pipelines destroy the environment, but don't pipelines destroy the environment overseas? thiser nordstream ii has been polluting germany's baltic coast on beaches and in the ocean including also coming out of the nature preserves and then thpollutes the baltic sea. how is that okay? environmentalists gotta be upset about this. >> they have to be upset, but i want the administration to tell us why this was such an imperative to actually get done. the keystone pipeline was important w to canada, it was important to bring ourselves to the point where we could be energy independent. he shut off our own ability to develop energy resources in the united states so we could export these energy products like clean natural gas --

elizabeth: hang o on. iou want to ask you a question. the pipeline that the michigan governor wanted to shut down -- sathey're saying, forget it, wee ignoring you. we're just going to keep doing what we're doing with our pipeline. what if companies say, you know what? we're going to ignore you, biden administration, we're not going to shut down. what would happen in. >> i don't know. that would be an interesting way to go. but, you know, all kinds of legal lawsuits flying every single direction. but let's understand donald trump made a very clear directive, be energy independent. and that brought untold safety and security to the united states, and it drove down energy costs. what i want the viewers to understand at home for american energy, democrats fundamentally do not want lower energy prices because they believe if you drive more, that's bad for the environment.nt so they're just fine raising the price of gas and having these energy products go sky high. elizabeth: well, they're driving their own cars, right?

and they're flying around in planes and jets like climate envoy john kerry. jason chaffetz, thank you so much. coming up, attorney sol wisenberg on this story, cnn anchor cuomo joining us -- chris cuomo advised his politician brother andrew cuomo, and andrew cuomo's top aides, on how to push back against women accusing the governor of sexual assault and harassment. push back against them in the media. but cnn not disciplining chris cuomo, proving what matters is not the truth, it's not what these women are alleging, it is about cnn protecting the cuomo family, and it's about power. the story next. >> boy, i saw a lot of segments lasteg year and over the trump years fromm chris cuomo about believing all women and about sexual harassment. if you are a woman, how do you possibly go op this person's show again when chris cuomo

and his pr team and his law in multiple strategy sessions on how to push back against seven women accusing the governor of sexual harassment allegations made earlier this year by women who worked for the governor. this is the not a good look for a tv anchor advising a politician in trouble, helping him launder his scandals. what do you say? >> well, nothing he's done so far, chris cuomo, with respect to his brother looks very good. the way that they covered the pandemic early on with respect to governor cuomo when he was a darling and a hero, having him on and putting the swab that was, you know, that was the size puof a big barbecue mop in his nose and making jokes about it. that was inappropriate too. he's a major public figure making comments critical of the president. doesn't matter whether he's supporting or being critical of the president, i don't think he should have been appearing on the show at all. he washe a major newsmaker with respect to covid, governor cuomo

was.mo so the fact that cnn, when governor cuomo got it -- . [audio difficulty] elizabeth: chris cuomo was helping his brother strategize with women accusing the governor of sex e yule harassment, but cnn isis not disciplining chris cuomo. this soundsli like a big hit to their credibility. and the request question also is where's the commission for investigating the cuomo family in. >> what credibility? credibility with who? they don't have a lot of credibility with me. you mean a further hit to their already weakened credibility? it could be, and you bring out something that's the second problem with chris cuomo's coverage. the first thing was to have his brother on at all, but also to be acting as a political adviser while he is supposedly an impartial moderator is as

separate ethical problem from a journalistic perspective, i would think. elizabeth: you know, chris cuomo also colluded with michael cohen before his tv interviews. this is a pattern. but cnn, again, not doing anything about that. i want to ask you this, governor request cuomo blamed, quote, toxic political times when he was asked about giving his family preferential vip treat for covid testing including sending a state doctor to the hamptons to test chris cuomo and his family at their mull by million dollar home in the -- multimillion dollar home in the hamptons, and those results were expedited at a tate lab. so, you know -- state lab. so the doj's investigating that too in a criminal probe. what couldes be the potential criminality here? >> well, that's what's, that's what's so amazing here. that certainly is a scandal, the special access that his family members and other key cronies

got for a long period of time up until the present, from what i understand. but the fact that the department of justice would be looking at that is quite striking. i mean, they're already looking at the phony records and the omissions from the state records. that's understandable. that's 18usc1001. you can't make false statements, material statements or omissions in any manner within the jurisdiction of a u.s. department or agency. very broad statute, interpreted broadly. sobr that's one thing. that didn't surprise me -- elizabeth: you mean on the -- sorry, you mean on the nursing home deaths. >> sorry, exactly. where they fudged the numbers. but now looking at this, which is really when you think about it a political scandal, you have to think for a minute what's the federal statute. well, there is a federal statute that apparently they may be looking at. it's 18 u.s. code 66 of. we used to jokingly refer to it as the mark of the beast when

the u.s. attorney's office when with i was there. and it is a very broad statute that covers misapplication of state funds where the state is receive ising federal funds and federal help. and usually that is reserved for bribes and bra dueties given or asked for by state officials. so you've got to think why are are they looking at that in connection with that. and all i can think of -- and i have no inside knowledge or anything like that, all i can think is of according to one of the stories they were asking for political support from people in the state senate at the same time that they were talking, having discussions with them about the availability of vaccines. so that could be -- who knows, if i they're looking at that, that's amazing. elizabeth: yeah. andit it's abuse of powers, stae workers ands state assets for your own political -- rather, personal gain. sol wisenberg, thanks for your insights. it's great to see you. thanks again.

want, and then the cdc is going to craft it to what they desire rather than the science. certainly, the cdc has seen classrooms. my kids have been in school this entire year without a problem. there were some family members of the kids that got covid-19, they addressed it, they quarantined, they got treated, everyone kept going to school. this can be done, the science has proven it can be done, but the teachers unions are in control when it comes to so many of our communities across america where they're, i guess, deciding what the science is. you know, president biden made a pledge to insure that, you know, we're going to the cdc, and it's going to be evidence-based. but we have a teachers union that would seem to be bent on how to get to no, how to get to no on opening the schools. so the so the unions have been the number one obstacle to education, and it is hurting a generation of our children, for sure. i know in my district i see the kids, they weren't in school, they don't have a computer at home, heir -- they're not doing

it virtual, they're missing the social interaction. how important this is, they're not caring about the kids. this is about them and the union, and they seem to be in control. elizabeth: you know, cdc is supposed to be independent in following the science. they're not supposed to care whate any union says. so they're following what a powerful union is because they got president biden elected. we've got kids up in harlem who are juniors and seniors saying we can't get scholarships now to universities, we can't even talk to universities to get into schools, into colleges and universities., but randi weingarten, president of the aft, is blaming the biden administration and the cdc asked us for the language. it doesn't matter. you're not supposed to be involved in a scientific decision on reopening schools because you want your with own way, you know what it mean? nit's not about you, it's about the kids. it's about the science. your word on that. >> well, it is about the science. i mean, you know, i treated

thousands and thousands of patients, and they never came to meam and said, hey, go talk to your buddies on what we should do here. i'm not -- i don't mean your doctorr buddies, just your buddies. that's not how it works. you engage with the communities that should have the foremost knowledge in this topic, and that's where the guidelines should be set. you know, a lot of the guidelines have come out that really don't follow the science as well. and, look, we're seeing that kids, for example, are not infecters. they are not carrying this. they're not vulnerable. there may be some very, very rare instances. we now have vaccines for the teachers, and there's no excuse at this point. and as we've seen all across america in so many schools, they did it successfully without any problem, and those kids are -- elizabeth: well, you know -- >> we're going to have a generation of kids -- [inaudible conversations] go ahead. elizabeth: you know what's going to happen? i hear you. and in the future people just won't listen to the cdc and what authorities say. you're going to ruin the

trulicity is for type 2 diabetes. it isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. it's not approved for use in children. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, changes in vision, or diabetic retinopathy. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with sulfonylurea or insulin raises low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration, and may worsen kidney problems. show your world what's truly inside. ask your doctor about once-weekly trulicity. so it's another day. yeah- that's what most people think. but in business it's never just another day. every day is the day. there's the day your store has its biggest sale. the day you have a make or break presentation. and the day your team operates from across the country. but there's also the day you never see coming-

black lives matter and antifa, also a major drop in the recruiting. what do you say to this problem? how to you turn this -- do you turn this around? >> thanks for having me. this is, at its core, a morale problem, okay? let's just call it what it is. law enforcement officers coast to coast do not feel appreciated by theci public, not by their management in their own agencies. they believe that if they do their job and something, god forbid, goes wrong, nobody has their back.ir and that's the problem. and that is what is at the core of this morale issue. nobody, no human being wants to work under that type of scenario when you just feel like you're going to work and it's all you can do to come home at the end of your shift with your life and then on top of that the people that you're out there trying to serve and protect hate you. cops are human beings. they don't like that, and that's really a what this is all about. elizabeth: i'm going to read you the numbers. nearly half of 50 major u.s.

cities saw cops quit early, retire. des moines, iowa, 50% drop in police recruits. charlotte, north i carolina, 26% drop. fayetteville, arkansas, only 10 applicants qualified. denver, colorado, 97 fewer officers. minneapolis, 24% of the cops there quit. 20% quit in seattle. new york city, 15% quit, that's up 75% over the prior year. portland seeing, getting hit. las vegas, 37% increase in cops quitting. kansas city, missouri, 10% quitting. so, again, i'm not sure how you turn this around. what do democrats and the corrupt hard left expect that cops will do when you abuse them and makeon sweeping journalizations about all cops and thinking all -- begging cops to stay because they're seeing

doubling-digit increases in violence? how do you take on the hard left and those out there blasting cops still? >> look at big cities like where i'm at in the metro atlanta area. violent crime is off the charts now. it's a huge problem to the point that our district attorney is having to go on social media in fultonia county, georgia, and plead with the public to try to maybe get behind law enforcement. if you look at the big cities, thisis is where the problem is. if you go out a little ways even into the suburbs or more rural areas of america, law enforcement still has this e prix decor, they have the backing of the general public, and they feel like it's a job well done at the end of the day, okay? they get it. but when you have the big agencies inside the big city, that seems to be where the morale is the lowest. lo and behold, that's where the crime spikes up. it's not a coincidence at all. elizabeth: gotot it. phillip holloway, thanks for joining us. > just ahead, arizona attorny general mark brnovich is going

♪♪ elizabeth: joining us now, arizona attorney general mark brnovich. okay, senator mitch mcconnell today said the biden administration is again trying to paint a false picture of what's happening at the border. there was a lot of media headlines about this across the country, that the number of unaccompanied children at the borderac dropped. but senator mcconnell says it's because they were transferring large number of immigranter children, illegal border crossers, between governmentss agencies and that t didn't drop. what do you say? >> well, i think if groucho marx were here, he would say who are you going to believe, the president or your lying eyes? because the reality is if you talk to border patrol officials, i.c.e. officials, they will tell you this crisis is

unprecedented. we just did, liz, a deposition last week in a one of our lawsus itagainst the biden administration. the director here inti the phoex i.c.e. office literally said as a result of a lack of detain theres, thats, are criminals tht are being released into our community. nithose numbers have gone from about 10,000 a month last year to about less than 2,500 the last two months. so what is happening is the biden administration is not detaining people, they're not detaining people, that means they're not processing for deportation. when they're not processing for deportation, that means people convicted or charged with crimes are being released into our communities. as a result of -- elizabeth: and -- >> kids now are being caught up as pawns in this whole game the biden administration's playing. elizabeth: yeah. we'reea seeing the biden administration is releasing about a third of the individuals who are coming to this country and trying to cross. 178,000 trying to cross, about a third of them, 62,000, have been

released without a notice to appear in court. you know, they're painting the picture of the border crisis as turning around, as success there. that's what the biden administration is being accused of. texas democrat henry cuellar also said the biden administration was playing a shell game using fake photos to show empty border facilities when they imply moved illegal border crossers to other facilities next door. let's listen to senator mcconnell on this. watch this. >> let me say that one more time. 2,217% more kids without parents at our border on president biden's watch. the administration has tried to boast that the number of unaccompanied kids in the custody of the departmentof of homeland security has gone down. it has. because they've transferred large numbers of kids from dhs to hhs. there are now more than 19,000

children in the custody of health and human services and hundreds more arriving every single day. elizabeth: so you really can't -- can you believe the headlines coming out of the biden administration on any successs here? >> well, look, liz, i was a prosecutor, and you have to recognize that what else is the biden administration saying or doing? this is the reality. vice president harris has done little other than offering up 310 million aid to central american countries. they've donent very little to ce here and see what's going on, they've done nothing as far as coordinating law enforcement. so whenever the biden administration is talking, i keep thinking to myself someone needss to call him let 'em go, joe, because that's what's happening. you just talked about these notice to appears, they're basically saying come on over and we'll trust you that at some point over the next few years you'll show up. it's absolutely ridiculous. but most importantly, we're talking about these kids. this is the thing, liz, this is

the united flipping states of america. this isn't the border between iraq and syria with we have refugee camps with a bunch of kids. shame on the biden administration that you have whether it's 18,000 or 20,000 kids in custody as you alaud lewded to, representative cuellar who's a democrat said there's no transparency. what is the biden administration hiding and why are they hiding it? according to even immigration officials here, everyone, it is estimated 2 million people will cross the border just this year, like l the entire state of nebraska. and no matter what the biden administration says, that is the reality. no matter what they say, people are coming across here and being let out in our communities that should be detained and processed for deportation. regardless of what they say, there are tens of thousands of kids right a now in federal custody. regardless of what they say. we know i.c.e. has issued contracts for 86, $87 million to house people that don't have legal status here. it is unconscionable, and it should break everyone's heart

whether democrat or republican. shame on the biden administration. elizabeth: all right. attorney general mark brnovich are, thank you so much for joining us. we really appreciate it. >> the thank you, liz. elizabeth: sure. i'm macdonald. you've been watching "the even edit" on fox business. that does it for us. we really appreciate you watching, thank you so much. we hope you have a good evening and join us again tomorrow night. ♪ larry: hello, everyone. welcome back to "kudlow." i'm larry kudlow. so get ready, folks. uncle sam wants you. the white house and the treasury gleefully announcing today new tax enforcement plans that would double the number of irs employees and require banks, payment services and cryptocurrency exchanges to provide the government more information about account flows. get it? account flows. what does that mean in
