cost, republicans want some of the extras like childcare to be on thee chopping block the white house as biden will not budge on money for what theyid call the care economy, both sides are at an impact between what is infrastructure and what isn't and some democrats are losing the r appetite for getting the republicans on board, bernie sanders same democrats may need to goar forward along and the clock is ticking, president biden mark memorial day as the deadline for when he wanted toea get a bipartisan infrastructure deal done, that is one week from today. liz: hillary vaughn it's great to see you, thank you so much. let's forget tennessee senator bill hagerty, it's great to see you by the way it looks like the president sweeping agenda, it is not just infrastructure, its reform on gun, vote reform, d.c. statehood, immigration and police reform, it looks like all of that is probably not right now, is a far left to blame?

>> i think they're touting the of the from the far left party this is not what mainstream america wants. i believe the majority of the democrat party listens to thepa extreme policy they listen to the lot is most vocal majority in their party, the policies that don't make sense for america that is related to pushback right now. they can't get their own party together much less ten senators on the republican side. liz: nancy pelosi cannot afford lose three boats that made the squad does have power, the far left is saying go it alone there same grandma through the budget reconciliation, are they going to do that, president biden told the new york times that he is not signing on, he is not a progressive andnd not signing onto the far i left agenda, are they going to go at it alone? can they. >> it'll be another example of bait and switch that we got from the election biden ran as a moderate, you remember what he said during his inauguration speech but all they've done able to pass one piece of legislation $1.9 trillion

coronavirus package had very little or anything to do with the coronavirus treatment and everything to do with her socialist agenda, this is far left policy and they used the budgetary trick called reconciliation so they can put it through and a 50/50 basis beginning kamala harris, we need to remember this isnt an evenly divided senate, were gonna push back hard at every point to make certain when you talk about infrastructure, were talking about real infrastructure they cannot decide what infrastructure is at this point. liz: the other thing we sell stocks up in a brought, 95% of the s&p 500 reporting better-than-expected earnings, there is fear that inflation is upon us, wall street is talking about inflation stocks, but look at this we have obama's top economist jason furman he co-authored a study this is pain people not to work with bigger ntunappointed benefits could kep people from getting a job and the threat of getting covid at work. that is jason obama's top

economist saying that. >> is clear as day to a business person like me, this is exactly the wrong policy to extend unemployment and plus stop on employment through september means small to medium-size businesses are competing against the federal government to get these employees to come back to work the larger employers what their doing is pushing the employees from smaller companies and then what's happening we have a flood of people coming across the southern border the small employers are thinking do i hire 70 under the table or do i let myself go out of business, it's a tough situation allll the way around in the biden policies are creating this. liz: it is interesting, a final point, the taxpayers are running away from the exact same policies the biden team wants to enact, the running away at the state level but these are the policies are trying to push throughout the federal level using 4 million people leaving california and new york, illinois, michigan and new jersey flooding in to texas,

ohio, ford, arizona ando, tennessee because they see the policies coming down, your final word. >> i think people vote with their feet and you take a state like tennessee that is driving and they see what were doing with no state income tax and proper regulatory approach for a business friendly environment where companies become and grow there attracted to that that's why we see so many people leave the bankrupt states like ella 40, illinois and michigan and moved to texas, tennessee and others. >> senator haggerty thank you for joining us. liz: let's welcome fox news contributor jason chaffetz. it is great to have you on again, let's deal with this another biden official showing major ties to green energy that they're pushing the powerfuls federal energy regulatory commission, these guys reject u.s. pipelines, he was a top lobbyist for a wind energy company out of spain, what do you say to the story. >> added tot the list and it is

one of the numerous things where there are severe ties very concerning ties to people ever personalize interest in the outcome of what they will ultimately be regulating. if it's not uncovered by fox business or fox news, it generally does not get out there in the mainstream media continues to ignore the added to the list of another person who seems to be dealing with self-interest. liz: is unclear beyond any investments of this, the president said were going to create good union paint jobs and green energy but much of when manufacturing takes place in countries like europe, continents like europe meaning spain or denmark. let's get to what you're discovering, let's get back to president biden cutting spending on roads and bridges in his new offer down to 120 billion keeping the same amount for

electric vehicles. >> uruguay, hiv research, tens of millions of dollars going into fiji, one of my favorite they spent $600,000 of american taxpayers money to buy two gazebos at guantanamo bay, these things have nothing to do one of the biggest expenditures out there was a 363 million-dollar expenditure for the uss boise which is an attack submarine, this has nothing to do with covid relief orr anything else,

you deceived by the billions of dollars going out the door but that's not the promise of what joe biden kamala harris said they said it was going to be for the american worker and american businesses that were struggling and it's all sold under the guides of covid but it's really not not when you're buying $600,000 for two gazebos down in cuba. liz: cut the spending on roads and bridges that keep that slush fund, what didn't tell you that the inspector general for the justice department is overseeing that, we haven't seen a website launched for the d.o.j. like this before, what does that tell you. >> michael horowitz is a capable person out there, i thought his work on fbi investigationve was second to none, and god is on top of that without the proactive work of somebody like

horowitz that is doing this, so the public to go in and look at this, you would do with the biden administration, biden is out there trying to sell another belief package, meanwhile the billionsns of dollars literally trillions of dollars that we've given them, they're already wasting on $600,000 gazebos. so why do they need more money and that's what i think they're afraid of having exposed but it is out there now. liz: you wonder if the infrastructure bill gets stalled then president biden has only one success, the covid relief bill 1.9 trillion, one and done so there isis disturbing waste d abuse in these bills when thousands of businesses and restaurants and bars were permanently shot during covid-19 but theney there talking against the term drunken sailors doesn't do sailors any justice, theire outspending, what do you say? >> this is the probably neither trigon's of dollars without

committees and hearings and the openness and transparency, these agencies are flooded with money and spending and by the trillions of dollars as fast as they possibly can, remember when biden and obama had the in 2009 we had all kinds of these problems now they are exponentially spending even more than that and you're seeing all the ways, the fraud, the abuse is a shame because there are people that need the relief, they're not getting it government is incapable of doing this without massive waste, afraud and abuse and it's on display now, still biden and kamala harris are asking for more, that is infuriating. liz: this is hitting a wall what wis going on, happening now, jason chaffetz in terms of the biden agenda is great to have you on again, come back soon. >> thank you still ahead congressman and former white house doctor ronny jackson, he's going away and on the

controversy that covid-19 to potentially leak from a lab, three lab workers in wuhan, china hospitalized weeks before the official outbreak in china, dr. fauci flip-flopping again on this, now he's saying is not confident the virus emerge naturally inrg nature. but why would dr. fauci in the media so quick to shut this down last year, was it because donald trump said this is a possibility and they hated trump, is that the reason? that's right next. >> i think we see a sustained chinesea propaganda effort at work but more than that is just the blindness of i put it that way of our media were to polarize to see scientific issues for their own sake without putting a political gloss on them, we don't know the origin of the virus, we have the two possible scenarios, you look at allll the evidence and ask ourselves which an area explains

liz: joining us now texas

congressman and former white house doctor ronny jackson, it is good to see you. circumstantial evidence keeps growing that covid-19 did leak from the lab in the three lab workers were reportedly hospitalized with covid like symptoms before the official outbreak, why was immediate and dr. fauci in scientist so quick to shut this down, this theory. >> during the trump administration dr. fauci was part of the solution and as soon as president trump dr. fauci became part of the problem and he was playing into the democrats to undo everything most thing the trouble ministry she did and they took approach 180 no matter what the issue t was, the state department under the trump ofin administration suggested that this may have happened. president trump was criticizing the world healthrg organization and defunded the world health

organization. the first thing the biden administration was refund the world health organization and build up their reputation. we know the world health organization is nothing but a tool for the chinese government it's an effort to cover this up but i think they're finding out the investigation is going to reveal that this actually probably did happen and i'mde pretty confident that it did come fromoi the lab and i think that everyone is going to know that soon enough and i think they're backtracking tried to figure out how they could go back and say that we said there was a possibility. they're trying to cover their tracks right now and trying to go back and i think we'llwa find out that we funded some of that research. liz: let's show the viewer the timeline of what went down, gop republicans on house republicans say there's more circumstantial evidence that elite happen in an existing nature, dr. fauci is saying he's not confident that it emerged in nature when it said last year that it didn't leak from a lab, the cdc director doctor rochelle

walensky testified is a possibility it did leak, let's show the timeline ofam how this went down, here's a question who under the obama administration, who lifted the ban on funding a super virus research in support of super virus research, who did that out of the obama administration. >> i don't know if that was dr. fauci but what i do know the money still went there despited that, dr. fauci said there was no money provided to the wuhan institute of virology but there was but it was laundered by a company called eagle health alliance and a guy named peter dies it was only american on the w.h.o., that money $1.5 million went to the wuhan institute of her obligee and it was used in the gain of function testing. were gonna find that out, that is going to be the truth, there is aut lot of circumstantial evidence. open the books and let us eat. liz: openokok the books. >> we already know there's a big problem, it indicated this is

going on this virus has never been identified in the wild there's not organism or animal that we know this by wrist existing we know when this happened remembers in november before the chinese declared that the first case of the virus was taking place in chinait was hospitalized with symptoms that were consistent for coronavirus, we also know that they shut roads down of the wuhan institute of virology in a period of time that there wasabo scell phone activity, a lot of strange stuff was happening around the time that this virus would've broke out. i figure a lot of circumstantial evidence that it came from the slab and were gonna find out that's what happened and were gonna find out dr. fauci andnd e national institute of health provided some of the funds for this to happen. liz: theo other thing we have in 2015 the u.s. scientist working with chinese scientist with a lab may coronavirus sars covid to virus so they were working on

this to develop vaccines, dr. fauci in 2011 co-authored washington post op-ed saying let's generate a virus in a laboratory that does not exist in nature for the purpose of creating vaccines, that seems a noble intent, the issue is wise for me not to china which has serious safety violations import safety protocols let's listen to senator tom cotton on the subject.wa watch this. >> the money that the nih gave went to an american a organizatn which gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to the wuhan labs to investigate coronavirus and to find ways to make them more contagious and more dangerous. i think there could be an example of the public health bureaucrats thinking they know better and they're not going to answer typical oversight and accountability even in the obama

administration they went ahead with the research that could be very dangerous that weitzen. and that the nih come clean and tell us exactly what happened. liz: they keep saying trust the science, have faith, follow the science, should be, sars was leaking out of the beijing laboratory in 2004, there's been lab leaks continuously, should we follow the science, trust the science, have faith in our people. >> we can't do that any longer, they betrayed her trust and like you said who thought it was a good idea to give this money for the research to be done if were doing a summer in the united states maybe i'm okay if it's going to leak the vaccine for something important but to give the money to china not only to have a horrible history of lab leaks but we know that anything and everything that happens in china has the involvement of the chinese government and the chinese military and they are not our friends, there are enemies in so many ways it is

crazy that we give that money to china. liz: congressman it's great to see you, come back soon. coming up former federal prosecutor brett tolman on top republicans demanding more from answers, why did hunter biden uses secret service in the air force base to do these mysterious trips flying overseas and air force to make millions of dollars in the business dealings with russia and china, we still can't get answers, why did the media blackout the story and continue to do so. we will take that on next. ♪ see the tow truck? yes, thank you, that was fast. sgt. houston never expected this to happen. or that her grandpa's dog tags would be left behind. but that one call got her a tow and rental... ...paid her claim... ...and we even pulled a few strings.

really dug into this issue, if we have a media that is interested in investigating and holding individuals accountable, i envision the irs starts to ask questions, were these personal or business trips that were benefiting, when you use air force one or air f force to whih i bet on,nc they have to have a distinct government purpose and thereas has to be documented, i would like to know all those details and why the irs is not looking into who should be paying the bill for the tax benefit. liz: it's interesting you say that, there is a justice department probe into hunter biden involving alleged tax evasion, we don't know who it involves, if you get private benefit offered government assets, then you have to report

that as income on your tax return top republican senator joni ernst demanding more from answers, we have author alex a breitbart news showing heavy use of joy andrews air force base, we reported on 411 trips, multiple countries were looking at 29 foreign countries, 23 trips joint base andrews, that is home of air force one and air force to, this is when joe biden was vice president in 2009 - 2014, where was the wall between biden and his son. >> the wall is important we were told that they were following protocols and doing things the right way, we certainly know that is not the case, we seen over and over,ha what really bothers me we are just a few months from hearing about the russia investigation, russia collusion and all kinds of allegations and here this is going on, we don't have the media digging into it, we don't seem to have anyone in congress that is worried about it,

resources utilized and if so was it appropriate, is there a pattern, if there is pattern of abuse, typically that is a large-scale criminal investigation were in individual will be targeted for the abuse and have to pay the government back and will be facing felony charges. liz: can you imagine if eric trump or donald trump junior was doing this, we hear about the business dealings of the trump presidentle he was but this is specifically using theserce to to goe on mysterious trips where he got through that billion dollars to the wife of the former mayor in moscow doing deals with cause extent, ukraine, china, this is leveraging the biden family name for power and for money, your final work? >> the first amendment is very important in our forefathers knew a strong neutral media

could hold government action and abuse accountable to the people, if they're not s willing to do that then we lose a very powerful tool to root out corruption. liz: brett tolman, great to see you, come back s soon. liz: did you see this upcoming story former secretary of state mike pompeo reportedly heading to israel right when the secretary of state anthony blanca will be there, president biden is looking to lift the sanctionss on iran even though his team says iran does fund terrorism. we have a national security and foreign affairs expert, he is back with us on that, and this russian criminal gang hack and shutdown of the major u.s. pipeline, the colonial, will that weaken the biden administration position with iran. that story next. >> the path of the biden administration is chosen with

simple the iran machine knows exactly what it's doing, it's copy what the obama administration has done and if you go by that and you do not understand the new reality in the region such as abraham accord, arab correlation and all of that then you may make mistakes, one example the iranian regime got $150 billion from the obama administration, weapons and said i'm going to paralyze the iran nuclear arsenal, now they're coming on force in telling then biden administration we will do the same, so we don't have any guarantee of what the iranian regime will do when they get more money. liz: more than two dozen, 26 americans have been attacked in the u.s. from "coast to coast" this month by individuals on u.s. soil with flags representing the gaza strip.
