"the evening edit" starts right now. elizabeth: former president trump today at the border in texas. we've got the sound and the action. he is calling the crisis quote, both sick and dangerous. it's a growing humanitarian and national security problem. the chaos is so bad, migrants were caught on camera illegally crossing in front of republicans who were there. we've got more on the overcrowded facilities, toddlesses abandoned in deserts, dropped over walls and where are the democrat hogs protested at the bored under the trump

administration? why the silence? why are house democrats moving to defund the border patrol, i.c.e. and the border wall? joining me texas congressman michael burgess, tom homan, jason smith back with us, former new york city top cop howard safir, bret giroir, marionette miller-meeks, chris bedford and florida's brian mast joining us tonight. we have more on the stunning court reversal. bill cosby set free from prison after two years. we've got that. we have more mask confusion. the biden administration now talking about people wearing masks again, even vaccinated in order to combat the new delta variant. the cdc says you don't need to wear masks if you're vaccinated. this is triggering fears of new arbitrary, chaotic lockdowns as americans are starting to move on. we have now this, los angeles cops speaking out, saying wherever defund the police goes

chaos reigns. where are the tough on crime democrats before when crime skyrocketed in '90s? reports are coming in, government officials say they are confident that the chinese military was working on secret bio military research with top scientists. wuhan lab saw military officials going in and out for years. it is believed covid virus leaked from that. gop lawmakers slamming house speaker, pelosi for hypocrisy, focusing on capitol riots but stonewalling a congressional probe about a pandemic that killed 600,000 americans. they launched a special select subcommittee last year to look at the pandemic. where is that? the gop in a few fight with house democrats. this is are is about legislation

that affects national security. 8 billion-dollar climate slush fund they say could benefit china. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show. you're watching the fox business network. let's get right at it with texas congressman michael burgess. your reaction to the president saying that the border is sick, it is dangerous but now we got texas democrats gonzalez saying the border is not in chaos. that the geoff should focus on the texas power grid instead. what do you say about that? >> the photos that you have been showing, the b-roll you've been showing clearly the border is not secure. people are passing across the border with virtually no one interfearing with their passage. it is good that the former president is down on the border.

it was a mistake i think for the vice president to miss that opportunity when after all this is in her sphere of responsibility but, i'm very grateful what the president did take his own time to go to the border to highlight problems we have in texas with the fact that the federal government is not performing its function of securing the border. governor abbott is required to keep texans safe and federal government is not doing their job. so governor abbott is stepping in and doing it for them and it is the right thing to do. elizabeth: got it. thank you. we hear you on that. let's listen to former president trump at the border today. watch this. >> now we have an open, really dangerous border, more dangerous than it ever has been in the history of our country. all biden had to do was go to the beach. if he would have just done nothing we would have now the strongest border we have ever had. elizabeth: so now, you have got texas moving to build its own

wall, make its own arrests, guard its own border. you have at least five states including south, dak, florida, nebraska having to send law enforcement to help out. what do you say? >> it should not be texas' responsibility to provide the defense for the remainder of the nation. again governor abbott is stepping up to do what is required of him to do. requiring finishing wall or building the wall, i flew over vast portions of that just a few weeks ago after the biden administration withdrew all the activity with building the wall. literally walked off the job. contractors walked off the job leaving equipment and tools on the ground. now texas is going to take the responsibility for securing those portions that had been almost finished but not quite. look the border wall is, it does work in the areas where it is continuous. the president, the last president, president trump was correct in identifying it as a national security crisis,

securing funding for it. the current administration is wrong to arbitrarily abdicate that. the consequences. here is the problem. every time the decision like that is made in washington, d.c., the cartels, the child traffickers down in central america they monetize that. they use that to induce and encourage people to make that dangerous journey to the southern border saying we'll get you across to the land of plenty where then they will take care of you. but the poor people who have pictures of people left stranded on the side of the road, that is just wrong. elizabeth: we hear you. you know the house democrats are moving to defund $2 billion away from the border wall that was already appropriated by congress. they're moving to take about $930 million away from the border patrol, also about 1 1/2 million away from i.c.e. so you know, this is at a time

we have the population the size of nebraska crossing. that is happen doing. what are republicans going to do about democrats moving to defund border security? >> look, we're coming up to the appropriations time. it is important to direct the dollars where they need to go for the purpose of homeland security and the defense of our nation but it is important for people to understand it has never been this bad. i've been making trips to the border now since, one of the first migrant surges back in 2014. i have never seen it as bad as it is right now. and this administration, this administration has to recognize just, just how much jeopardy they're placing the american people in by not responding to their responsibility. elizabeth: congressman michael burgess. thanks for joining us. good to see you. >> thanks, liz. elizabeth: let's bring in former acting i.c.e. director tom

homan. you were with former president trump on the border today. let's show the viewer a list of democrats who protested at the border and border facilities under the trump administration. the conditions are overcrowded facilities for children. children being dropped over border walls. you know, thrown into rivers if they were not, families don't pay up for human smugglers. this is an exponential lip worse crisis now. where are the democrats protesting what is going on? >> always about trump, anti-trump rhetoric then. more children have died. more women are being raped. more women coming a i cross the border at unprecedented high. in the history of the border patrol we have not had this many children are coming across. many more people are dying and that story is not getting out. elizabeth: why is that story not getting out? we understand the choices that are made in newsrooms but this is a triple crisis at least.

it is humanitarian. it is a national security crisis. it is a public health crisis. i mean representative mary miller, weren't there, she went there and i wanted to cry. it is so sad the humanitarian crisis she said. desperate people thinking they can come in without being stopped, that the president has advertised this and facilitated this. we're a humanitarian country. it is just it is in chaos right now. >> the reason it is not getting out most of the media is the extension of the democratic party. they don't want to tell the story. shows like yours and fox network and folks like me are trying to tell the american people to separate fact and fiction. if you heard from what i heard from the sheriffs and law enforcement in texas, one county sheriff found 44 dead bodies in the hands of criminal cartels, they didn't make the trip and diet. 44 dead bodies. that is the story most media

won't cover. there they are an extension of democratic party. it is about protecting joe biden. we saw it in the election. we see it now. elizabeth: again, the problem is you come here illegally, you're going to have to pay human smugglers or drug cartels. they operate and control many sections of the border. border patrol said that you can get killed along the way or you're dragooned into being drug coyotes if you can't pay up. border patrol are still catching criminal illegal aliens and gang members in the past week in the rio grande sector, tom. they have deported sex offenders coming back in. a convicted killer coming back in. what is the story here? >> historically 20, to 25% of the border patrol arrests on the border is a convicted criminal. look they know the border is wide open. they know number one biden promised them they are released as quickly as possible. they know that is victory. if they come across the border

they know they will get released. they know i.c.e. is decapitated, if you get otherred to be removed, i.c.e. can't remove you. people with aggravated felonies, but i.c.e. is not paying attention. they opened the border at the same time they decapitated i.c.e. people deported are not going anywhere because i.c.e. can no longer arrest anybody for being illegally in the united states. elizabeth: got it. tom homan. thanks for joining us. thanks for your service to our country. come back soon. next up, mask confusion. the biden administration talking about people wear being masks again even if they're vaccinated to combat the delta variant. the cdc says you don't have to. this is raising arbitrary chaotic lockdowns. we have representative jason smith coming up. breaking news, bill koss bireleased from prison hours ago

after pennsylvania's highest court overturned his conviction. those stories next.

from prison after his sexual assault conviction was overturned by pennsylvania's highest court. jackie deangelis has been following the story all day and joins us now. jackie. reporter: good evening to you, liz. bill cosby is free indeed released from prison. cosby was silent at a press conference but his representatives spoke on his behalf. >> this is justice to come to say we'll vacate his entire conviction. not another trial. they said he had immunity. this is a guy who settled out of court for $3.8 million. waived the fifth amendment rights. no warrants filed for his arrest. he freely came in spoke openly to his detriment. he was being honest. andrea constant lied. reporter: pennsylvania supreme court overturned his conviction. that they basically did not give

him due process, essentially it was not fair. at the retrial five additional accusers were allowed to testify, that didn't testify at the first trial. evidence was used at the civil case. the court said the evidence violated cosby's fifth amendment right to self-incrimination. theres were reactions on both sides of the fence. montgomery county district attorney said he was quote, found guilty by a jury and goes free on a procedural issue irrelevant to the facts of the crime. felicia rashad, known as claire huxtable, is miscarriage of justice has been corrected. liz, three judges joined the decision. one was in the middle filing a concurring and dissenting opinion. one filed an out right descent. think about the precedent this sets. cosby was one of the first big cases of "me too" movement. it leaves doubt whether

witnesses can be called in future cases. elizabeth: jackie, thank you for joining us. let's move on to the negligence story. house budget, house ways and means ranking member, back with us is congressman jason smith. your reaction, we now hear the biden administration now considering reinstating recommendations to wear masks even if you're vaccinated? the cdc says you don't have to do that if you're vaccinated with pfizer or moderna vaccines. more concerns about arbitrary shutdowns, botched policies coming our way? is that justified? >> liz, great to be with you. no, it is not justified. so many democrats leaders i have a cross the country are addicted to the politics of fear. if you just look at states throughout this pandemic where say south dakota or florida, how those governors operated their states, desantis and noem. they allowed their states to be

open. they did not fall underneath the addiction of politics of fear. they followed under science. as this democrat cdc director has said, that if you're vaccinated you don't need to wear masks. overreaching. they're trying to have more command-and-control over the lives and livelihoods of americans by just pushing forward fear politics. elizabeth: congressman, you know, americans out there had to deal with the rules for thee but not for me from local officials breaking their own covid-19 shutdown rules. the messaging was botched. it scared folks. it shut down businesses. people are afraid this could be coming again. shouldn't we get the facts, figure out our own path forward without this top-down stuff? >> this top-down stuff is awful. the best government is the government closest to the people. we've seen hundreds of thousands of small businesses that have shut their doors and they will never reopen because of the policies that came forward that

shut them down and that's crazy. that is unacceptable. that is quite scary. because that is a taking of people's property, that was not needed. science shows lockdowns did not work. in the states with the most stringent lockdowns, the death rates for covid were the highest that should be enough in itself showing that, that shuttering doors, locking down people, it is clearly not the answer. elizabeth: we hear you. let's listen to dr. marty makary talk about this delta variant. he thinks there is fear-monger about it. watch this. >> you're going to hear a lot of fear mongering about the delta variant so let me break it down. it is about 40 to 60% more transmissible but no evidence it is more deadly. we were told the b-117 mutation was more deadly. research came in showing it is not. we're testing too many people

who already have immunity. that is in violation of the cdc guidelines. nursing homes, hospitals are testing people already immune with no symptoms. that is what is driving up some case numbers that look like delta hospitalizations. so we're not going to see a surge in cases but we're probably going to see a surge in pcr tests among those asymptomatic with colonized delta strain in their nose. they're not transmissible and they're not sick from the illness. elizabeth: what do you say, congressman? >> stop the politics of fear. follow the science and everything will be all right. we lived through the pandemic for 15 months. so many americans are vaccinated or they already have the antibodies from having covid. i would say stop the fear. let's move on. we can live with this. elizabeth: congressman jason smith. it is good to have you back on. come back again soon. >> great to be with you, liz. have a good night. elizabeth: same here. up next now we've got

los angeles cops speaking out saying wherever defund the police goes chaos follows. that debate, and where are the tough on crime democrats who supported and backed crime bills before when crime skyrocketed as it did in the 1990s. former police commissioner howard safir is up next. >> for them to run out and claim it is republicans who want to defund the police, that is like an arsonist showing up at a fire and blaming the firemen. like the chinese blaming the americans for the wuhan virus. that is like oj saying he is going to help find the real killer. that is like democrats saying they're the ones that want to build the wall. it is absurd, it is ridiculous and they know it. for mac. who can come to a stop with barely a bobble. lucia. who announces her intentions even if no one's there.

them getting an emmy award and ignoring what is the number one problem in this country right now which is rising crime and disorder. elizabeth: we should point out that governor andrew cuomo got an emmy for his, emmy citation for his pressers on the pandemic last year. let's turn to this. where are the tough on crime democrats? critics keep asking that. democrats passed a massive crime bill when crime skyrocketed in 1990s. they're awol with murders and homicides up double digits in democratic cities. where are the tough on crime democrats? >> tough on crime democrats are controlled by the left-wing aoc "squad" group of people in congress and in the party. they're afraid to speak out even though the majority of americans say that their problem is safety and crime. that is what they want. we are now heading back to the bad ol' days when murder was rampant like 1990, when new york

city had 2500 homicides. i'm seeing more and more innocent people being shot. we had a marine in times square as a tourist, got shot in the back. we had an a woman attending academy graduation killed on a hotel patio by a stray bullet. this country is no longer doing what we're supposed to do, which is support police, to make sure the only people afraid of police are the criminals. we know there is a finite number of people -- this is not rocket science. elizabeth: get illegal guns off the streets, bought underground off the streets. that is why you shouldn't be defunding cops right now. you need the cops to do that work. now we see the white house, president biden not using the word racism or jim crow talking about cops. now you have the white house trying to claim that the gop is the party moving to defund the police because it didn't support a bailout package that the democrats are saying can be used

to hire more cops. the democrats never campaigned about that bailout package. that bailout package was never sold as funding cops. the words police, law enforcement, cops are nowhere to be found in the american rescue act. your word on this? >> well i remember the president's declaring that police in this country had a systemic racism problem. suddenly he is turning the corner a little bit but he is not really putting his money where his mouth is. the fact is what we need to do, we need to refund police. we need to make sure police get backing. we need to do away with the crazy no bail laws, somebody with five arrests for shooting somebody, put him on the streets so he can shoot somebody again. this is a massive national crisis. i'm really hopeful that when the next election comes around the majority of citizens in this country who really care about safety and police are going to

vote at the ballot box and put the people who support police back where they belong. >> let's move on to this. black lives matters is now suing the city of santa monica in california claiming that police were too harsh with protesters, that they were arresting protesters without justification, that they unjustly focused on peaceful protest erstwhile ignoring individuals who were looting. we should say this, 180 shops in santa monica looted burglarized in the black lives matter protests. 49 incidents of vandalism, 10 cops assaulted, 18 fires set. four cop cars destroyed. the reaction to the lawsuit? >> it's a joke. "black lives matter" is an organization that supports riots. it supports burning down federal buildings and shops. very often shops owned by people of color. and, we should be looking into the finances of

black lives matter as more and more comes out about millions of dollars that are not being used for the purpose that they were intended. but black lives matter and antifa are the loudest voicings in cities like seattle and portland are ceding their cities, what i call the domestic terrorists organizations. elizabeth: howard safir, thanks for joining us. good to see you. >> good to see you. elizabeth: you're watching fox business network. we're coming into the bottom of the hour. reports are coming in there was secret bio weapons research done at the wuhan lab. state department officials are talking about that, with the chinese military involved! it is believed the covid virus may have leaked out of that lab. the question, did they build a virus that could target certain people, certainth necessary 'tis? that is what is talked about now. up next two who were at the gop hearing yesterday, dr. bret giroir and representative marionette miller meeks take

this on. you're watching "the evening edit" on fox business. >> this had ties making this gain of function thing so they added to the virus and finally the whole virus becomes sars-cov-2 which carries gain of function in humans. you see later on amount of them in the population. >> yes. welcome to allstate. ♪ ♪ you already pay for car insurance,

to look into the covid outbreak? let's welcome back to the show dr. bret giroir and iowa's representative mariannette miller-meeks. both of you were at the gop house panel yesterday. thanks for joining us. dr. giroir, first to you, reports coming in from nbc and other networks yes, the chinese military for years has been working on secret coronavirus research at the wuhan lab. that the wuhan lab has top connections with chinese military officials. what do you say to this report? >> i would say you just about said it all. we heard yesterday from dr. asher who is in the state department and had significant intelligence agency ties, the wuhan lab, as many labs in china are intricately intertwined with the chinese military and yes, the chinese have offensive biological weapons program and it seems very clear that they were using coronavirus as part of that program.

elizabeth: well this is terrifying. congresswoman, you and i were talking about this yesterday. representative michael mccaul says there is evidence the chinese military took over, seized control of the wuhan lab earlier than thought in 2019. why were they doing that? >> i think it is because there is a lack of transparency and the chinese communist party was trying to cover up the fact that a virus that was in the laboratory that they had amplified and modified, was let loose and that people were getting sick and they wanted to cover that up. as we know they pressured the w.h.o. to deny there was human-to-human transmission early on. then they also you know, pressured the w.h.o. to not make it known publicly this was a pandemic and it was a serious public health emergency. elizabeth: you know, dr. giroir, what was china's military doing with this coronavirus? what are you hearing?

>> well, we really don't know but the, the extent of the chinese offensive biological weapons program really cannot be underestimated. you can even look in their public doctrine, even in some of their documents about the biological weapons convention back in 2011 where they talk about synthetic biology and its ability to create weapons and even to create ethnic weapons. what i mean by that is actually being able to target a biological weapon against certain ethnic groups. so we should not underestimate the extent of their biological program. i'm sure they were using coronavirus and any other virus they can get their hands on. not that this was yet weaponized but it is likely part of the program. elizabeth: interesting what the doctor just said, congresswoman, because scientists including scientists who wrote an op-ed in "the wall street journal" have repeatedly said they cannot find the genomic sequence, the dna inside of the sars-cov-2 virus.

that genomic sequence has not been found in nature. they tested 80,000 samples from more than 200 species. it is not found in nature. what are your thoughts about that? >> that underscores we needed to have the hearing yesterday and why it is really disappointing that our democrat colleagues are not at the hearing with us and are not pushing for an investigation into this. there are very valid reasons, one as dr. giroir stated that the chinese communist party has a, you know, bio weapon and they're working on that with the chinese military. that is one reason to investigate this. but there is other reasons to investigate this as well. we do think it eminated from the lab. whether it was a virus that was found in nature and then amplified and modified through gain of function research or whether it was a man-made virus we don't know the answer to that but we do know it came from the laboratory and not found in nature. as you indicated over 80,000

specimens were tested and they can't find the virus in any of those and i think one of the points dr. giroir made yesterday was testing the blood of military who participated in the military athletic games, war games. elizabeth: that's a good point. you know, so they found the sars host in nature. they found a merz host in nature. not this one yet. should export controls be put on american dna given to china? doctor, why are we giving american dna to china? what is china doing with american dna? we have two doctors here. elizabeth: i'm sorry. go ahead. >> i will steak that one. elizabeth: dr. giroir. >> we both, dr. asher and i made the point yesterday. he made the point very explicitly we need to be concerned about export controls for biology like we're concerned about export controls that could be used for nuclear weapons or

something like that. i made the point also, we need to control the information about our dna. our dna sequences, the sequences of americans are being used by the chinese. they're being gathered by the chinese while the chinese absolutely forbid any sequence data of chinese coming anywhere else. elizabeth: okay. interesting. dr. giroir and congresswoman mariannette miller-meeks. thanks for joining us. come back soon. next up experts at the house hearing that my two prior guests were at yesterday, they were slamming google, facebook, social media and the media for censoring information about the pandemic. chris bedford is next to break it down. stay right there. >> in fact facebook and other big tech banned and removed posts that claimed the virus may have come from a lab. why? well because they feared that information would support statements made by president trump and republicans at the time.

johnson this week, google and twitter censored them, saying scientists claimed they are false. you can find a different scientific opinion on anything. that is really what science is. completely expected my field of journalism are so stupid not to understand that, people on twitter or google should science comes from questioning and experimenting. they're trying to decide what the truth is for all of us to see. elizabeth: you know google is probably the most powerful search engine in the world. now there is talk of what it is doing with its algorithm, google is saying putting up warning, search on breaking news, may not be reliable because information is rapidly changing on subject. it is throttling down on search results of wuhan lab leak. i'm not sure people really realize what happens at google or facebook and how they

basically raise up in their search results certain topics and bury throttle down, other topics. go ahead. >> google is not just a very power if you recall search engine. companies like the easteast india companies that had bigger arms than england, one of most powerful men in the world donald trump. this is extremely dangerous. who are making these decisions? a lot of times they rely on outside fact-checkers. i look at some of the fact checks come at "the federalist" called us false or misleading, they are written by literal interns at "usa today." those people are allowed to be arbiters of truth? that is not how a democracy can function and be successful. elizabeth: chris bedford.

dollars to compact china's influence were taken out and literally multibillion dollar un/fun in which the dollars will go to china in many cases because this is the climate slush fund they will go there and what were really saying we will be so tough on china that we will send the more dollars to buy their solar panels and help them get out of the situation they put themselves in that how tough we will be on china. elizabeth: why do democrats think that china need a slush fund china uses forced labor in the prison camps to make the green energy product, are democrats talking about any of this. >> very little conversation when i'm here in washington and cannot figure out why something is not happening what i generally do is try to follow the dollars and i think you can talk about this whether you're

talking about big tech or whose building some of the power systems like solar panels and you say they have huge influence in huge investment in countries like china, they don't want to see any talking bad about china, the origins of covid for stealing intellectual property for f35 or anything else, they don't want to talk about those things and they want to get members of congress to not talk about those things, why they might hurt their investment in the huge market of china that's why i look at this as emerging into the we see them pander to big tech and is not surprising there pandering to big climate in the same way. elizabeth: we hear you, why china why would china benefit, there is already green climate fund and i think congressman meeks is talking about 4 billion in 202,022 and 2023 another 4 billion china has already

pulled out 100 million bucks from that fund, they were thought to be using it to cut greenhouse gas emission, nobody has evidence of that, again and again, it seems like democrats are rolling over about china. >> that are rolling over but you're seeing this as they've got so much already why would they try to get more, the answer is always more the answer is global domination it's like the game of risk in their plane that very, very well whether it's getting the dollars out of the un or taking from ports around the world or expanding their blue water navy they are playing the serious game of risk and their taking any asset that they can get their hands on there is not an answer that there's never enough, if they can get $10 billion more out of the un/fun then they're happy to take it it strengthens china and weakens united states of america the 3,030,000,000,000,000 in debt.

elizabeth: there needs to be enforcement action taken against $260 billion in waste that is gone out of the sba and the ppp loan for the pandemic and the $30 billion in jobless benefit fraud coming out of california. there needs to be criminal action taken in those instances of fraud and waste, something needs to be done because the american people have had it there sick and tired of what's going on now you have nancy pelosi focusing on the capital rights committee but not relaunching her own committee that she did last year to look into the origins of the pandemic, it feels like hypocrisy all over the place and they're talking again and again, about defunding cops, the american people are over it. >> let me's. any anticipation of a will change in direction and go 180 degrees the other way, they're not going to do that they're gonna double and triple down on these policies and defended the police and supporting china because follow the dollars, when you talk about

defend the police follow the dollars of the political contribution when you talk about conservative censorship or censorship i'm talking about what china is really doing follow the dollars of their political contributions coming from silicon valley follow the dollars and you'll see why they're doing these things. larry: you're saying green energy money going to china will come back in political donations? >> absolutely, i don't think that the question any more than dollars that supports silicon valley that will come back in the terms of political contribution that's 100% what i'm saying. elizabeth: are the republicans talking about this along with you were not so naïve to not know this is not going on everybody knows this is an open book with the american people i'm not sure they fully understand how d.c. is so swampy and how it rolls. >> you used the right word is that swampy my final word the foreign affairs of the united

states of america cannot be conducted in this way that we pander to the highest bidder. elizabeth: it's good to see you, come back soon i am elizabeth macdonald you been watching "the evening edit" on fox business. that doesn't s thank you for watching and join us again tomorrow night. ♪. larry: hello and welcome to "kudlow", america the great. i am larry kudlow were celebrating july 4 through the lens of declaration of independence which is what july 4 is all about. in the late spring of 1776 thomas jefferson was asked by the continental congress to produce a draft of what would become the declaration of independence. as he wrote many years later, let me quote, the other members of the committee unanimously press on myself alone
