roads and bridge unless progressive democrats get what they want in the senate. that means multitrillion dollar spending bills. with us texas congressman august plugger, rick crawford, darren porcher, california gubernatorial candidate kevin faulconer. charlie hurt and brandon judd. the thinking is this, you broke it you fix it but vice president kamala harris' trip to the border slammed for show. much the biden administration, look it is undercutting that visit, camera ready trip with a major push back battle in court against border states like texas and arizona. they're dealing with rising border crime, home invasions and more due to what they say is the white house wiping out trump's border policies. and former president trump underscoring that by going to where the border crisis actually

is while the vice president is going to go where it is not. we've also got this, the new date it that shows blacks are hit the hardest by skyrocketing murders and homicides in u.s. cities from coast to coast. you won't believe with we're finding. also this, how will this big democrat voting bloc react, it is official, look at this the recall of california democrat governor gavin newsom is on. tonight we're going to break down how california voters, they have had it. they're sick and tired of newsom's botched and hypocritical lockdowns. also this, rising crime, wildfires, power blackouts and more. plus, we got a bombshell. a scientist now says he found on the cloud genetic data china had erased on the coronavirus. this is genetic data from the wuhan lab. it could show more of a china coverup, that this coronavirus was circulating much earlier than realized and how the pandemic possibly began.

we have more on how dr. fauci was pushing back on president trump on gain of function virus funding. and we've got this debate, the biden administration now banning a chinese green energy company's solar products in the u.s. but president biden's son hunter profits off an inchinese investment fund buying stakes in sanctioned chinese green energy companies. plus an msnbc host getting really blasted for his botched criticism of texas governor abbott over the texas border policies. thanks for joining us. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: okay. welcome to the show. you're watching "the evening edit." crittakes say yes, democrats are on the offensive. d.c. insiders they expect democrat losses in next year's midterms. the biden administration racing

to do cleanup on the border on skyrocketing violent crime as the clock is ticking. that is where they are the most weak when it comes to their politics. joining us texas congressman august ppluger. your take on the vice president's visit to the border. >> liz, thank you very much. it is too late. 7500-pounds of fentanyl and amazing amount of crime in my district. we're not even on the border. we're close enough. it is hitting all 29 counties in my district and president biden, vice president harris are directly to blame. elizabeth: here is what is else is going on. interesting use of the obamacare victory in the supreme court. the biden administration is fighting texas, fighting arizona. those states are saying crime is hitting their neighborhoods and towns, home invasions, robberies, car chases.

so feels like that visit is getting undercut. the vice president's visit is getting undercut how the biden administration is fighting the border states. what do you say? >> that's right. in one of my northernmost counties couple weeks ago we had two high-speed chases. 20 plus illegal immigrants in the back of a vehicle. in another they uncovered 500,000-dollars worth of elicit drugs including methaphetamine. it is affecting us. governor abbott dealing with this directly because president biden completely abdicated his responsibility to secure our border. where else do they go? they have abandoned texans. governor abbott has not. we texans have to stand up for ourselves. elizabeth: former president trump is going where the crisis is and the vice president is going to where the crisis is not. the texas governor says her trip will fail if dough doesn't speak with local residents in the

del rio where homes and ranches, property damage, guns pointed at their head. is that happening? >> for sure ranches are being vanalized with high-speed chases. crime is soaring because of the drug trafficking t will look like a photo on for an hour. i hope she goes to el paso. she needs to go to the rio grande valley and del rio and i hope she looks in the eyes of law enforcement and border agents and the children being exploited and migrants. this is the first trip after 93 days. elizabeth: here's what else is happening, the drug cartels and human traffickers. border officials say they effectively control the border where there are gaps in the border fence. there was three drug cartel gunman who were seen traversing across the rio grande river in tactical gear, waving assault rifles at a family fishing in the river. the governor of of tex says

since march they seized enough fentanyl that could kill 21 million people. that is going on. let's watch the vice president here. >> do you have any plans to visit the border? >> at some point. you know, we are going to the border. we've been to the border. this whole, this whole thing about the border, we've been to the border. we've been to the border. >> you haven't been to the border. >> and i haven't been to europe. i don't, i don't understand the point that you're making. i said i'm going to go to the border. >> when are you going to the border, vice president. >> the administration has asked -- i'm not finished. i sid i'm going to the border. elizabeth: okay. we have a preview. she will talk more about root causes and the trip to central america. what do you say? >> well it is no laughing matter and you know, we don't, we take it seriously. it is a very simple criteria for

the presidency. is making our country more secure and more prosperous? the the answer to the question is unequivocally no. we don't appreciate vice president harris laughing at our situation and other border states. they need to bring policy proposals. like the remain in mexico agreements with honduras, mexico and el salvador. that would help solve the problem. unfortunately they completely abdicated this. and we see the border patrol chief was recently let go without even a trip, without looking into the eyes of these agents. it is shameful. elizabeth: congressman august pleuger, thanks for being here. we have congressman rick crawford. can you explain this the president cheered a bipartisan 953 infrastructure bill over five years to fix roads and

bridges. less than two hours later did a 180, said i will veto this bill if the hard left progressive democrats don't get what they want in the budget reconciliation bill in the senate. what is going on here? >> i told my constituents a long time ago, i've been in the job 11 years, i told them a long time ago i would support the president when he is right. i will oppose the president when he is wrong and do both with respect. i can tell you right now this president is making it very hard to do the latter. i'm trying to do everything i can to be respectful here but when you engage in good faith negotiations with members from the other party, you announce you have a deal, two hours later as you indicated you crawfish on the deal, what are we supposed to do at this point. there is demonstration of bad faith on the part of the president. elizabeth: it was pretty stunning. listen, the clock is ticking. the august, july recess, august recess. >> sure. elizabeth: janet yellen, treasury secretary this is a nasty debt ceiling fight coming up for the midterms.

>> exactly. elizabeth: joe manchin and kyrsten sinema will not go for bernie sanders's 6 trillion in more spending t will get filibustered. they go into the midterms with what? they will go moo the midterms empty-handed. they're starting to come to that realization they don't have any deliverable to bring to their constituents. this is basically, i think it is a foregone conclusion now. they're throwing a whole lot of mud on the wall, they help some of it sticks. i don't know what the path forward is at this point. elizabeth: congressman, the other thing happening we'll watch, democrats led by house speaker nancy pelosi trying to rebrand things, rebrand things to sell it, through a hard sell to the american people. she is calling the child care tax credit, quote, social security for kids as if that is enough for americans to go alongwith. you know paid family leave is suddenly infrastructure. americans are not buying it.

they ain't buying it. let me back up. the context is this. the idea that the democrats had an agenda like the fdr new deal or lbj's great society, they have a much smaller majority in the congress than fdr and when lbj were in office of the "washington examiner" is pointing that out too. >> you're right. elizabeth: nowhere near the majorities that fdr and lbj had. go ahead. >> you mentioned some new branding. here is a new term. the president has been in washington over 50 years. i never heard this term certainly uttered by him, but using the term human infrastructure. we'll throw it all in a pot, stir it up, call it infrastructure when only 10% of it has anything to do with what we have come to regard as traditional infrastructure projects like highways, roads, bridges airports, even broadband internet. so you know, how are we going to pay for all of this? by the way there is not a single pay-for in the democrat bill

coming out of the house. elizabeth: we hear you. how about listening to the moderates around the centrists, right? >> there is quite a few of them. their voices are being silenced. elizabeth: we hear you, congressman rick crawford, thanks for being on. massive rescue operation now underway near miami. nearly 100 people still missing in the collapse after building. at least one person is dead. steve harrigan is with us live on the very latest with the tragedy. steve. reporter: officials are insisting this is still a rescue operation. right now much of that work is taking place underground, underneath the parking deck. they're digging with multiple urban rescue teams. they have heard banging. they're not sure whether the banging comes from a human or not but they intend to keep on searching throughout the night. very difficult conditions in there. there is movement of parts of the building which is still partially collapsed. so it is very difficult to

detect with dogs an sounds. but they intend to keep on going with the collapsed building. as far as the dogs go. four are working. they're getting some indications of life there. 99 people, still the number we have from officials still unaccounted for at this collapse. it happened at 1:30 in the morning on thursday, most residents were asleep in their beds. it has been a trauma for family members, friends, relatives, trying to figure out where their loved ones are. people are calling into hotlines and those inside of the damaged build having been moved to hotels for the term by the red cross. back to you. elizabeth: steve harrigan, great reporting, good to see you, thank you so much. former nypd lieutenant darren porcher is it back with us. new data surfacing that shows blacks are hit hardest by murders in u.s. ciscos to coast. insiders are saying they fear they will lose this important

voting block in the midterms as a result. when "the evening edit" continues. >> they will lose the house and lose the senate because americans are fed up with their radical policies. they weren't ride rioters and mostly peaceful proat thers. remember the democrats bailed them out? how is that supporting law enforcement. sure there is a bad apple, all in all law enforcement does a great job. i think god every day they show up f i call 911 i want somebody to be at the end of the line. ♪♪ ! in three, no! two, keep packing! one. some days, you just don't have it. not my uncle, though. he's taking trulicity for his type 2 diabetes and now,

♪. elizabeth: back with us now, former new york city police lieutenant, he is darren porcher. darren, this data is shocking and disturbing. more black people are dying from the crime wave hitting the country. they're getting murdered and killed higher rates. nine out of 10 murder victims in pittsburgh and indianapolis are black people. eight out of 10 in chicago are black people. this is from "the daily caller." that is disturbing stuff. >> this is a troubling narrative. not just on the cities you

mentioned but on a national level we've seen a meteoric rise in deaths to people of color. in relation to democrats what are you doing to protect that community? the democrats ran on defund the police method, however what happened they lost a lot of the down ballot elections as a result of stating this defund police. and ultimately defunding the police is hurting these communities of color. we look at what happened in minneapolis, minnesota. they defunded the police t was the citizens of minneapolis that actually sued the city council because they defunded the police, because it was such a meteoric cries in crime. it begs the question where does african-americans in community of color stand in connection with this movement? >> that is a good point. in pittsburgh where 90% of the murder victims are black. nearly 60% in indianapolis. so, 63 cities voted to cut budgets for police. police are quitting in record

numbers and retiring in record numbers. as you point out, this is a major democrat voting bloc. what is going to happen? >> i just give you an example. here in new york city the manhattan district attorney dismissed all of the charges against the rioters in the wake of the death of george floyd that plagued the city of new york, however the manhattan d.a. continued to prosecute officers that were using force to protect the citizens of new york city. so the politicians in and district attorneys are not setting forth the necessary agenda. something needs to happen. we need to put a moratorium on this. ers this the first line ever defense on the social contract and unfortunately the politician insurance don't get it. elizabeth: we hear you. listen to one politician, retired new york city police sergeant eric adams. he is leading the new york city

mayor primary. he raise as point, listen to this. >> think about this for a moment, 95% of victims of shootings are black and brown in new york. 95% of the shooters are black and brown. elizabeth: so it is gang violence. it is gang violence. illegal guns. people holding guns and doing shootings. horrendous blacks killing black people. how do we change this? this is a humanitarian crisis? >> you know when we look what is happening, i give you the contrast of new york and chicago, it is the exact same narrative. it is not just gun violence. it is drug violence. it is domestic violence. it's a culmination of different perspectives of criminal activity that are plaguing these communities of color. and politicians just don't see it. they haven't set forth a a

plausible solution. as a result of their inability to act these communities are suffering carnage at record paces. elizabeth: wisconsin passed a bill saying to their cities and towns, you defund police, we're going to penalize you. now we have baltimore voters saying basically that cities, resident are saying we're going to recall you. we're going to recall you if you don't step up. what do you say to that? >> well, one of the things president biden spoke to was the $350 billion that was contained in the american rescue package was connected to police, police staffing so to speak. i think that the president can focus on a targeted approach that, if you doesn't -- don't take specific steps you won't receive funding from the federal government. that is what the president can do. on a localized level, they are all over the place. we have qualified practitioners

in law enforcement but politicians are holding them back. they are presenting an agenda clearly not working. as a result we're experiencing people losing their lives on a daily basis, more so specific to the communities of color. elizabeth: former new york city police lieutenant, he is darren porcher. thanks for your service to our country and new york city. up next, california may mayor and gubernatorial candidate, kevin faulconer. the recall of governor gavin newsom is on. california may have had it with newsom's botched and hypocritical lockdowns, rising crime, wildfires, back outs and more. stay with us. >> he has for scene business owners. he has is more focused buying votes and saving himself in the recall. proposing rent relief and 600

faulconer. the recall to replace governor gavin newsom is on. why are california voters upset? >> it is on. it is official. voters are very upset because this governor continues to fail, absolutely fail at the basics. and we saw over two million californians sign that recall petition. by the way from all parts of the state, all walks of life, republicans, democrats and independents who are extremely upset, angry and frustrated, not just at how this governor handled the pandemic and opening and shutting businesses constantly without being based on science but because this governor continues to fail as i said of the basics. homelessness skyrocketing in california. the fact that our state is too expensive, and we have a governor that doesn't seem to recognize there is a problem. that is why california wants a

change at the top when it comes to gavin newsom. elizabeth: the l.a. d.a. going soft on crime, right? californians tell us the tipping point was when governor newsom told everyone to stay home under his lockdown, wear masks. then he ate a fancy restaurant with health care officials not wearing a mask. his administration is also penalizing, threatening to throw business owners jail, and they're scene dining outgoing to wineries. the hypocrisy is really angering people. go ahead. >> absolute hypocrisy, gavin newsom says one thing and always does another. when it comes to the fact opening and shutting down businesses, not based on science, when it comes to the fact that as we're talking here this evening, other california public schools are still, still not fully reopened. private schools have been open, basically the entire year in california. why? because those schools report to parents. yet the public schools ultimately report to gavin newsom are still not fully

reopened. and so i think when you start to add all of this up, rising crime in california, just talking about it in the last segment, the fact we got some news yesterday that this governor has been misleading californians in terms of wildfire prevention and actually cutting calfire budget. you start adding all of that up, that is why californians are eager and anxious to get to the polls to make a change at the top for somebody who will actually roll up their sleeves to get our state back on track. elizabeth: talk about the wildfires and rolling blackouts because we've been reporting on how the democrat party in sacramento gets a lot of donations from the electric and power industry. so why is california finally agreeing to former president donald trump's plan? he said clean out the debris, clean out the you know brush in the state's 33 million-acres of forest with controlled burns to stop wildfires. but when he said, the president

biden and democrats said he was a climate arsonist. listen, these wildfires have killed people. they have destroyed homes and businesses. triggered rolling blackouts. how can you be so incompetent and not do what trump said to do years ago? >> well, that is exactly right, in terms of, when you ignore forest management, common sense, that is so incredibly important in a state like california, we suffer the consequence. there are lives at stake here. that is why californians are so angry. this governor came out took a lot of credit for a lot of things he didn't even do, actually cut money from the calfire budget. the consequences on this are absolutely deadly. and so we need a governor that is going to protect our lives and livelihoods, not what we're getting from gavin newsom. >> cut it out with the politicking and just do the kitchen table common sense stuff. state democrats for two to three

decades refused to clean out the forests and remove the underbrush. then wildfires of course raged out of control. the santa anna winds can exceed 60 miles an hour. that is with the lack of common sense? there is a shortage of that. >> it is in very short supply here in california at the capital. this campaign we've been talking about one-party rule in california has been failing our state. time to have a governor that can roll up their sleeves to get the job done. i was mayor of san diego, actually tackling these tough issues. the only big city in california where weigh reduced homelessness. i stood up with 100 protesters out in front of my house. we didn't defund the police. we increased the budget. that is what we need in sack meant toe. elizabeth: gotcha. kevin faulconer, let's see if you can take on sacramento. that is a whole other world. see you soon. coming up senator marsha

blackburn on this bombshell. a scientist found genetic date on the coronavirus on the cloud that china deleted. it shows more of a cover-up t could give clues where this thing may have come from. we have more on dr. fauci pushed back on president trump when it came to funding wuhan lab funding dangerous virus research. you're watching "the evening edit." stick with us. >> one of my concerns are we, the government is not being transparent with us about what those risks are and so, i am of the opinion people have the right to decide whether to accept vaccine or not, especially since these are experimental vaccines. this is a fundamental right having to do with clinical research ethics and so my concern is that i know that there are risks but we don't have access to the data.

happened with this covid coverup that now is coming into full view. you see the information that the scientists were aware, that the virus they saw at the market did not match up with what they were seeing from covid patients. >> right. >> the rats, that were there, the mice that were in the lab. when they said there were no animals that were inside of the lab and of course now with this, with the genetic sequence being deleted, with that information being taken out of an nih registry and, you know, this is why we ought not to have been working with the wuhan institute of virology controlled by the communist party in the first place. elizabeth: yeah, senator, you've been all over this and steve scalise is announcing that the gop will be doing a hearing on this in the house. jesse bloom, here is the kicker, he is the virologist who found this virus data.

he is saying it is more similar to the original bat coronavirus inside of the wuhan lab and not what came out of people say wuhan's animal and seafood market. in other words there is a whole spectrum of different coronaviruses. if dr. fauci can't emphatically authoritatively say it couldn't leak t could have leaked, right? why can't he just be open to that possibility? >> and why didn't he come forward to say to congress, we've been involved in this. yes the president told me to cut it off. i did it anyway. he came back, he said, you know, it is going to be your job or you stop this. admit that. and say you know, i've got concerns about this. we know that they were doing research work on coronaviruses and we have a lab here in nashville that does research work on coronaviruses. why was dr. fauci was not

working with the lab in nashville or north carolina that were doing this type of research as opposed to sending all of this money and these funds and trying to trust that the chinese communist party was going to tell them the truth? of course after our diplomatic scientists started to have issues with what was happening with this lab and secretary pompeo started to investigate this lab, then, what did the chinese communist party do? they said do not come into this lab. they wouldn't let them in. they wouldn't let the world health organization come in. elizabeth: we hear exactly what you're saying. so let's get back to dr. fauci. he testified that we have not been funding gain of function research but then you know, president trump at that time said, cut off the funding to the ecohealth alliance which is giving money to the wuhan lab. dr. fauci resisted that, saying we don't have authority to do that but the nih turned the

spigot back on and reinstated money to ecohealth. there is all of this sort of weird stuff. the nih had control of a patent on gain of function research that dr. ralph barrick got in 2007. >> you're exactly right. what you say is this chain of conduct that dr. fauci instead of giving the information to us, he was lining up with what the chinese communist party was saying in order to protect the wuhan lab and to say they were not responsible for this virus. all of this is absolutely disgusting and we are going to have to investigate it. dr. fauci ought to step down and we have to get to the bottom of this so it never happens again. elizabeth: yeah. senator marsha blackburn, thank you for the service on this, we'll stay on the story. good to see you soon. coming up, charlie hurt on this

company. they are accused of using forced prison camp labor but hunter biden has yet to divest 10% stake in a chinese investment fund that invests in companies blacklisted by the u.s. how do you square this one? >> it is unsquarable. you really can't make it up, liz. it is astonishing. my first, your first initial reaction to might be to applaud the biden administration for finally standing up to a chinese company like hoshin for taking part in horrible, horrible human rights abuses with the uyghurs but the problem with that is, that is such a small thing compared to the far larger issue of all that china is getting away with on the global stage today, that the biden administration is doing nothing about. they have no intention of doing anything about. and of course you know, for entire 50 years that joe biden has been a part of washington, he has been a lapdog at the feet

of the chinese government. so it is, i'm sort of reluctant to give too much credit for that. the real question here is, which you pointed out, that is, how on earth do you have a president's son who is making millions of dollars off of the exactly this kind of company that is committing human rights abuses and far more importantly, undermining the united states and standing up to the united states in ways that the administration is doing absolutely nothing to so much as lift a finger against? elizabeth: yeah. let's go through it. in 2013 hunter biden flies on air force two to beijing. after that he comes back with a 10% stake and a deal with basically china's largest investment, one of its largest investment funds backed by the central bank of china. it invested in a chinese technology company that does facial recognition software to crack down on muslim uyghurs and

repress them. it invests in a chinese state-owned nuclear company that was trying to buy u.s. nuclear technology for china's military. and the other one is the fund invests in a rare earth mineral mine in the congo that has been accused of human rights abuses and child labor abuses. so that is what it going on with hunter biden's investment fund in china. >> yeah. of course all of these things are truly appalling and it certainly points to significant grift on the part of hunter biden and also let's not forget that there is a lot of evidence found on the hunter biden's laptop that shows the entire biden family, including joe biden knew and knows exactly what was going on but let's also remember all of these companies are devoted to undermining u.s. interests and that is the larger issue here. elizabeth: charlie hurt, it is good to see you again, come back soon, you are a great writer.

♪♪ elizabeth joining us now is national border patrol council president from, he is brandon judd. it's great to have you back on. okay, ms, this bc host brian williams getting criticized for making a crude remark in his attack on texas governor greg abbott over his political stances. what do you say to this? >> he should be criticized. this is typical of the liberal media, the mainstream media. when you don't have the facts, you make up attacks. when in reality walls have proven to work. san diego, large stretches in arizona, even in texas. walls have driven down illegal immigration. news flash from brian williams from somebody who actually patrols the border, walls work. come up with facts, use numbers instead of political rhetoric. elizabeth: yeah, europe has walls, asia has walls, russia has walls.

let's listen to what brian williams said. watch this. >> his state doesn't have a dependable power grid and yet he's going to build his own wall on the border, and he's being richly rewarded by a visit from his guy trump next week. if abbott wants to, say, run for president, he must be more further ensconced in a particular area of trump's a anatomy than even ron desantis of florida, and that won't be easy. elizabeth elizabeth okay. critics are saying this is disturbing stuff. let's show to the viewer what's happening at the border that brian williams chose not to bring up. it's a humanitarian crisis, it's a national security crisis, it's a health crisis. this is a country that has open arms. it welcomes immigrants. what's happening is people are getting assaulted by traffickers at the border. he's not reporting what's happening at the border. instead, a perm attack.

personal attack. >> of course he's not, because if he gave the public the actual facts, the pluck would agree we people like president trump that says that border security is absolutely imperative to the security of this nation, to the safety of the american public. he doesn't talk about how we're in the worst crisis in the history of the border patrol. he doesn't talk about the people that are crossing the border across the rio grande that are falling into the river and dying, 17-month-old children are dying because of criminal cartels. he doesn't want the american public to know the truth because if they did know the truth, they would agree with people like president trump. elizabeth: you know, he's previously insulted senator ted cruz, calling him kremlin cruz, even attacked democrat senator joe man chip saying he's, quote -- manchin, saying he's living in a world of his own imagination. these are nasty attacks coming out of the msnbc anchor here. he previously came under fire for lying and fabricating

stories while he was anchor of nbc nightly news. he admitted to lying about coming under sniper fire while reporting in iraq in 2003, and he was suspended for that. so tell us where it's going wrong at the border. >> well, again, the mainstream media just doesn't want the public to know what's happening, what's really happening on the border, because the they did, they would agree with governor abbott, they would agree with governor desantis, they would agree with president trump, and that's not what the mainstream media wants. they want to dictate what we know, what we believe. and if they can't do that, they're going to come up with political attacks instead of facts. they're not going to tell the public if what is really happening because they would agree with people like me. elizabeth: one thing that's really disturbing is the amount of fentanyl pouring across and how there's so much addiction in the southwest and in california.

right? it's a drug addiction that's really ravaging our cities as well and leading to gang violence. we have a record amount of homicides and murders, many committed by gangs. what do you say? >> and this all stems from the border. all of this crime that is in our cities, this crime is taking the lives of our children, it all starts on the border. it starts with criminal cartels. the same criminal cartels that the mainstream media is protecting. the same criminal cartels that the mainstream media doesn't want the american public to know what they are doing. they are making billions of dollars in profit at the expense of our children, at the expense of the american public. our citizens in our great state, in our great cities that could be protected if we would actually have border security. elizabeth: quick ten seconds on kamala harris' trip to the border tomorrow. what do you think's going to happen? >> i don't think that she is going to accomplish anything. i think that she's going to go down there and say that there's

no crisis, and she's just not going to do the things that are necessary to fix the boarder because there is no political will to do it. elizabeth: brandon judd, thanks for your service to our country. come back soon. i'm elizabeth macdonald, you've been watching "the evening edit" on fox business. that does it for us. thank you so much for watching. we hope you have a larry: hello, everyone. welcome back to "kudlow, "i'm larry kudlow. so the talk of the town today is an alleged bipartisan day which is being called the bipartisan infrastructure framework. hot off the presses. at this moment, i don't know if the senate gop leadership -- that is, mitch mcconnell, or for that matter a majority of the gop senate conference -- will actually back this infrastructure framework. but five republicans negotiated in good faith, they did a deal with the white house and the
