this is worse than i saigon. joining me now tonight, a former afghan interpret, mike rah seed da, dan hoffman, congresswoman they're yo net if miller meeks, the hill's kristin tate, tom to hohmann. the president today said no to special evacuation missions with france and the u.k. are doing, claims, no, he has not seen intelligence americans cannot get to kabul airport. again, reportings of beatings coming in of americans. and a taliban gauntlet delaying evacuees up to 48 hours. the president saying, no, he will not expand the perimeter around kabul airport to get americans out. he also denied any international criticism, this two days after the british parliament condemned his actions, allies saying he harmed nato. biden today again blaming trump for afghanistan. security experts say that, too, is falling apart.

also, speaker pelosi now criticized for her stuff happens comments about billions of dollars in military equipment that you paid for now abandoned to terrorists. reuters is reporting the administration is considering new airstrikes against that same equipment. and d.c. watchers say mark this as the week it could go into reverse for the entire biden and democrat agenda. look at the trend. nancy pelosi, chuck schumer could fail on massive spending packages next week. the battle over vaccine passports could enup in the supreme court, it's unconstitutional. plus, the gop warning, democrats, do not unplug funding for special counts of john durham's probe into the russian shah investigation. and judges trying to -- judges are saying, no, you cannot cancel trump's border policies. we've got breaking news just coming in, the biden team is going to take that fight to the supreme court. i'm elizabeth mcdonald. "the evening edit" starts right

now. ♪ ♪ elizabeth: welcome to the show, you're watching the fox business network. we begin tonight with the situation on the ground in afghanistan. jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon with more. jennifer if, good to see you. >> reporter: good evening, liz. following a 6 to 7-hour pause today, u.s. air force evacuation flight aboard c-17 transport planes have now resumed but not to qatar where they had been going. instead, they are flying to ramstein air base. >> the site at qatar was just at capacity. there was just no room to throw in additional people. >> reporter: this as u.s. air force evacuation flight continue to ramp up. nearly 6,000 people were evacuated in the past 4 hours with over 300 people per flight, a much higher capacity than two days ago. earlier today we learned that a marine from the 24th

expeditionary unit off the uss i who gee a ma rescued this afghan baby after his family pleaded with the american marine to take him. we have just learned the baby has been reunited with his father after receiving medical care can. earlier today president biden said one of the reasons he was leaving afghanistan is that al-qaeda no longer has a presence in the country. >> look, let's put this thing in perspective here. what interest do we have in afghanistan at this point? with al-qaeda gone? >> reporter: -- don't have military intelligence estimates about how many al-qaeda remain in afghanistan. >> we know that al-qaeda is a presence as well as isis in afghanistan, and we've talked about that for quite some time. >> reporter: there are now roughly 6,000 u.s. troops on the ground at the kabul airport. they are under strict orders not to leave the airport. officials say they don't want a repeat of mogadishu and blackhawk down. liz? elizabeth: thank you, jennifer

griffin, it's good to see you. okay, we're staying on this subject. joining us now, an afghan interpreter, california congressman and navy veteran mike garcia. first to you, zack. thank you both for joining us. your reaction to the president today. a lot of rhetoric that doesn't match the action on the ground. what did you think? [audio difficulty] elizabeth: okay, we're going to -- we're having trouble with your sound. we're going to come back to you as soon as we fix that technical difficulty. congressman, we've abandoned american allies to terrorists. this is worst than saigon. it doesn't make sense to take out military personnel when you need them to take them out, now we're putting military possessor until back in, but the president saying we will not do special force evacuations like france and the u.k. is doing.

what do you say to that? >> it's amazing, liz. you must have an amazing intelligence committee working for you to come to those conclusions. this is something we could see coming for months, and unfortunately, our commander in chief could not. i don't know why. look, these aren't just contradictions, and this isn't just rhetoric that we're hearing out of this commander in chief. at this point, these are flat-out lies. he's not honoring the commitments to our allies. none of this was preordained for failure, and this wasn't something that was unavoidable from day one. he's mentioned he's had calls with our allies, and they're not questioning our credibility. that's absolutely false. today on the call secretary blinking with members of congress said that this decon flexion channel is going so well and it's simply not true. it's a lie. and as we heard the commander in chief, president biden, said that americans were not being beaten, they're not being harmed. and secretary of defense austin called out that lie today on the call today as well.

i'm not getting -- elizabeth: congressman -- >> this has been botched from day one, and it continues to get worse, unfortunately, and we're putting our troops and now americans in a more risky position than they were even just a week ago at point. elizabeth: the president tried to blame former president trump again today, but in july he said i'm a making this decision with clear eyes to withdraw. if americans are getting beaten, doesn't that violate the trump deal that biden abandoned? >> there's all sorts of conditions, liz, that violated the trump conditions for withdrawal. and it's beyond that. it's not just the time certainty, it wasn't just conditional. you need to look at what's happening on the ground, the risk posture that we're assuming, and i can guarantee you that the trump administration's withdrawal plan did not entail pulling military personnel out first before civilian, it didn't entail leaving our allies and surrendering bagram airfield at two in the morning when our troops were still in harm's way and our afghan allied troops

were in harm's way as well. so that's the challenge that we have right now, and in this president is not ebbs cuting the -- executing the plan that president trump was setting out to. elizabeth: we've got zack, the technical difficulties, we think, have been resolved. zack, it's good to have you on. >> thank you. elizabeth: the white house stopped pipping it -- spinning it after the administration was warned, yes, afghanistan would collapse after the u.s. was through, but they chose not to act. just five days prior to that memo, president biden had said this will not be a repeat of saigon. now foreign policy people are saying this is worse. what do you say? >> i agree with the congressman, what he just said. truly, al-qaeda and isis are arrive and well in afghanistan -- alive and well in afghanistan. for the past 20 years, we know that our american forces actually fighting against them. but when american forces left afghanistan and basically give the impression to afghan people

that you are abundant and they basically had to fight for themself. and they were fighting for a common cause. they were fighting americans' enemy, the worst in the world, actually. they were fighting this. for what causes? for freedom, for democracy, for civil liberties. and these are common causes that afghans have and common belief with americans. so when president biden decide to give legitimacy to al-qaeda, a terrorist group, and basically that gave a boost to all the terrorist group in the world that america basically leaving their friends behind and walking away. so the afghan forces could not fight because they were left alone. when biden administration decide to leave them in the middle of the night without that talking with them, i think they felt that they were debetrayed by

biden administration. elizabeth: we hear you loud and clear. how does the administration deal with the fact that now the pentagon chief reportedly is admitting that, yes, americans, congressman garcia, are now getting beaten by the taliban? this is outrageous. why did they leave it up to the taliban to decide who gets out? why does the taliban get to decide that? senator lindsey graham says, yeah, he should be impeached. if any american or afghan ally is harmed or stranded. this is carter around 1981 is. do we see a hostage situation again? i'm going to quickly close it out with what house speaker pelosi was earlier saying. let's take that on first, congressman. what do you say? >> yeah, i think we -- this is a massive hostage crisis right now, and the president is directly responsible for it. whether he likes it or not, this is a hot war, okay? and whether he realizes it, this is a hot war, and we need to start behaving that way. the fact that this operation is

being led by the state department rather than the dod right now is a clear indicator that he's doing it incorrectly, and we're losing this fight even this week. elizabeth: yeah. >> we need to change our posture, we need to become offensive and aggressive. we need not only troops on the ground, but assets in the air making a loud and clear message to the taliban folks that are on the ground there that we're there to stay until all americans are out, not just as many as we can get out. elizabeth: you know, zack, and, by the way with, the u.k. is really upset. the u.k. press is outraged that the president snubbed the u.k. and boris leader -- boris johnson, leader of the u.k., for 36 hours, and then the president today is claiming he had no intelligence that they were upset. zack, i want to talk to you about this, house speaker nancy pelosi called out for her stuff happens comment, abandoning u.s. military hardware, planes, guns, thousands of armored vehicles including humvee es, blackhawk

helicopters, military drones. reuters reporting the biden administration is now considering as one option airstrikes against that very same equipment. the taliban is already holding military parades with it. they're using the biometric tracking devices to go door to door to root out, you know, nato allies and more. what is happening with u.s. military equipment right now in the hands of terrorists, zack? >> truly they are, they are going to use against afghan forces, and they're going to use that against our allies. and that's obvious. prior to that, you were not asset weapon, they are right now. so everything that american forces, nato forces are left in afghanistan, now they are patrolling. that's going to be -- the biden administration left some forces as a deterrent to taliban.

[inaudible] al-qaeda and isis, the sworn enemy of the united states -- came from taliban. this is america, we are coming after you. what do you think about that? elizabeth: okay. >> [inaudible] zack poyan, congressman mike garcia, thank you so much for joining us. we really appreciate it. up next, former cia station chief dan hoffman. this was biden's worst week ever. we're going to talk about whether or not his botched handling of afghanistan sets the united states back on the world stage and undercuts u.s. power. we also look at the shadow it's casting over the president's entire agenda. you're watching request "the evening edit" on fox business. ♪♪ ♪ [band plays] ♪ a place where everyone lives life well-protected.

that u.s. citizens were being harassed and beaten by the taliban. frankly, this shouldn't be a surprise. it's a bottleneck on the way to the kabul airport. the taliban knows that americans and our afghan allies are trying to get there, and they're easily able to detext and intercept our people -- detect and intercept our people, and that is a reflection of the chaotic and horrifically poor planning that went into this withdrawal. elizabeth: you know, this poor planning, there's also growing concern that president biden and general mark milli, chair of the joint chiefs of staff, inflated the size of the afghan army's strength than more than double it was to support their case that they could defeat the taliban. so there's that, there's also -- is this a concern for you, that this will set the u.s. back on the world stage and undercut its deterrent force? pleasure. >> it does, but here's how it happens. we have withdrawn our intelligence, our military and

our diplomatic capability from afghanistan just when the taliban is going to turn afghanistan into a terrorist-sponsored state. we know in spite of what the president said today that al-qaeda is still homesteading on that'llen banter story. the leader of al-qaeda is still there, and isis is still there. and we might think the war is over, but it's not. the taliban and al-qaeda and isis have us in their crosshairs. and so when they launch attacks against us from afghanistan, that is going to drive a wedge between the united states and our allies and create opportunities for iran, russia and china among others to seek to exploit. elizabeth: okay. you know, senator lindsey graham is saying the president should be is impeached over this, this is worse than saigon. democrats also turning on the president. his approval rating is now underwater. this is likely the worst week of the president's entire political career. let's listen to how it went so

terribly wrong. watch this. >> your top military advisers warned against withdrawing on this timeline. they wanted you to keep about 2500 troops. >> no, they didn't. it was split. that wasn't true. no one's being killed right now. god forgive me if i'm wrong about that, but no one's being killed right now. >> i don't know. the state department would be the place to go for a better estimate of how many americans are in afghanistan. that is not a figure that the united states military would know. >> i can tell you that they have received, as of a couple hours ago, a small handful of reports from american citizens who weren't with ae to reach the airport for whatever reason. we've seen reports of congestion, my understanding is that things are moving quite efficiently at this hour at the airport. >> reporter: we're asking about american citizens. >> you to know how many americans have contacted you and ask to get out -- >> changing conditions on the ground at all?

rich? elizabeth: so critics are saying they've been got -- gaslighting,ing they've been downplaying, deflecting, they've been doing blame games. the president is basically saying nobody's gotten killed. reports are coming in -- not americans, we don't know what's going on yet, but people have been getting killed in afghanistan by the taliban. trying to say just congestion at the airport, just small groups trying to get out. your reaction to this very bad week. >> look, we're operating in the fog of war that we created. we didn't have to have it this way. we had bagram air force base, we had 3,000 u.s. military plus 6,000 nato forces and 18,000 contractors to keep afghan air capability, you know? it didn't have to be this way with. we don't even know how many al-qaeda are in afghanistan. admiral kirby admitted that during the press briefing today, he said we lack the intelligence capability to determine how many there are. so imagine all these americans

trying to get to the airport, and al-qaeda taking an opportunity to target them as well. this is not the way it should be. we shouldn't be putting our people at such grave risk. and if, you know, we do get them out and we don't lose anyone, it won't be because of anything that this administration did, it will be a because of our good fortune. right now we're asking the taliban, al-qaeda, isis, that petrie dish of terrorist threats, to hold off on targeting our people and our afghannal i lies. i just don't see that happening, but i pray that it does. elizabeth: where's president biden, kamala harris, democrats and the squad on the terror attacks on women in afghanistan when they've campaigned as champions of women's rights in dan hoffman if, it's good to see you. we really appreciate your insight, come back soon is. up next, nancy pelosi is, chuck schumer, looks like they could fail on the massive infrastructure and the big spending package next week. up next, congresswoman

insiders they could fail next week. pelosi can't lose more than three house democrat votes here, but nine moderate house democrats are saying, no, they want infrastructure spending first. they're not going to move on the progressive $3.5 trillion spending bill. this is a big slap in the face to nancy pelosi. what do you say? >> i think that if you look at what has happened over the past month and what happened right before we went into the august recess, that that certainly is in jeopardy can. so is remember that it was the moderate democrats who kept the progressives from being able to have an extension of the eviction moratorium, maxine a waters and other progressive democrats were really pushing for that issue. but as we know, that hurts mom and pops, it hurts our local community banks, it hurts our tax base when, you know, the person who as a landowner, property owner just with a simple property can't pay their property taxes because they've got no income.

i think you've already seen that there's a fracturing among the democrat party between the moderate senate progressives, and i think this is another one of those things. and when you look at what's happened in afghanistan which, to me, as a military veteran, it is an unmitigated disaster, tremendous incompetence. they now have that issue to deal with at the same time that they've got inflation that continues to increase, a border crisis on the southern border, then they've got, you know, trying to pass this trillion dollar budget, at the same point in time they still don't have covid under control. elizabeth: yeah. you mentioned the eviction moratorium, it's unconstitutional. raising taxes, one party, one party, the democrat party, raising taxes without republican say so, that's unconstitutional. it's taxation without representation. we've got a big supreme court fight coming over vaccine passports. new york restaurants led by restaurants on staten island suing the new york mayor saying this violates our constitutional rights, it unfairly targets them

but not other entities like grocery stores, schools, you know, offices and medical facilities. it doesn't also, people who have pre-existing conditions and can't take the vaccine, it doesn't take them into account. it's unconstitutional, that's what they are saying. and, by the way, why should we be listening to democrat leaders who botched the shutdown, who allowed riots and looting to get out of control, who turned their city streets into skid rows, why should we listen to them on things like that? >> i don't think we should listen to them, and i'm glad that the restaurant owners are suing. the same thing happened during the pandemic, but people were much more willing to try the help because it was so unknown, you know, covid. so you had essential businesses, well, what made one business essential and another not? if why was it okay to go into a big box retailer but not a small mom and pop store in your same neighborhood? or why was it not okay to go

into a restaurant, but it was okay to go into a grows thely store? -- grocery store? this is the same issue, and it also doesn't address those people who have immunity because they had the disease. so i think there does appear to me -- i'm not a lawyer, but there does the appear to me to be grounds that this would be the basis of unconstitutionality. and maybe one of the things they should start doing is doing antibody testing. you know, if you have antibody testing, you know, it shows that you you have immunity and you're at low risk, number one, for contacting covid-19 and at low risk of getting it. elizabeth: i hear you. they don't have mandates like this in europe or the u.k. france has been doing free antibody testing in their farmlies -- pharmacies for a year. why don't we do that here instead of pushing booster shots on people with where we don't even know about the heart inflammation, for example, from the moderna shot for young

people? i mean, that's an issue. people have serious concerns. we get it. people are sick and tired -- they're not listening to regular americans who have, the folks out there who have had to put up with this. now google has censor ised republican congresswoman nicole malliotakis talking about the lawsuit that restaurants are bringing against vaccine passports? that's outrageous. >> i think that's where people's frustration lies, and i think yo hit the nail on the head. we do have a constitution, we have a right to free speech, we have a right to associate with other individuals, and right now people don't feel like they're being listened to. they don't feel their concerns are being attended to. they're looking for day, they're looking for information. it's deplatformed, it's canceled, it's censored. to be able even as doctors to have a discussion on social media sites and platformings. we've seen physicians removed off site is, and science, we've talked about it before, it's an exchange of a debate. it's an exchange of information.

a couple hours ago, secretary austin, general millie, secretary blinken, i had the opportunity to ask questions of all of them on that call on a number of different topics, but that is one particular issue that, because it being an unsecure line, it's not going to be until we get back to d.c. on tuesday the i guess we're going to have a classified briefing with them. these questions, your question for me was also a question that all of us had for them. and, unfortunately, there's just too much uncertainty as to what exactly is going on there because there's certain isly a need to go get -- certainly a need to go get americans who can't safely get to the airport in kabul. we want to know what the plan is. apparently, some updates that they're not wanting to tell us on the unsecure line. elizabeth: congressman, when in the world did we come to this point where we're going to trust the taliban, you know what i mean? there's that, there's also this:

blaming trump for afghanistan today. biden chose not to use the escape clause to withdraw if talks failed nor to use u.s. military power in a big way the get americans out. kash patel, former pentagon chief of staff, was saying it was really simple. biden did not condition the withdrawal, he dumped the trump agreement, he put in this arbitrary withdrawal for september september 11th, military optics is what he says. symbolism, is that what we'ring dealing with here? >> exactly. to your first point, we absolutely should not be trusting the taliban. to your first question, it's important for the president and his administration to be honest, candid and consistent with the american public. when president biden gave a press conference and he's talking about how people can safely get to the airport, meanwhile, being contradicted on a call that we're then on a but

minutes later with the house republicans hearing something different from secretary austin. highly unlikely in july that there's going to be a taliban takeover, and then it ends up happening instantly, quickly and total. we've seen other examples like this. and to your question of -- i'm glad kash is speaking up, and he was a great member who i had a chance to know and work close with, it was a conditional withdrawal. and if anybody goes back and reads the transcripts of president biden's interview with george stephanopoulos, president biden said he was going to do in anyway. so all of this stuff about blaming president trump, if you're going to give that candid answer this many your interview with george stephanopoulos and say all of this was going to happen regardless of whether or not there was any deal between the trump administration and the taliban, then everything else is just that much less credible. but kash's points were important

x they should be well noted for anyone who's interested. elizabeth: so now we have the taliban, reports coming in the taliban has been beating americans at kabul airport. your reaction. >> you know, it's important that this reporting, the pictures, the videos, that they do get out there publicly because this information only getting up the chain of command internally and then the president giving a press conference where he is saying that this dust-up isn't happening at all ends up misleading the american public. you know, erodes trust and credibility with this administration and with the government. the rest of the world's watching. president biden also stated that our allies aren't create sizing us. -- criticizing us. people are reading the statements, they're seeing the videos. this is happening with our allies, so we just need to be a lot more candid. the fact that it's happening outside the fence, if it's happening, let's at least be honest it's going on. the reality is you can't just expect all these americans to safely get their way to ca a

bull -- kabul. what the president said during his presence conference today was that all americans will come home. if you want to come home, you'll with able to come home. what it actually meant was if you're able to find a way for yourself to get to kabul airport by august 31st, then we'll be able to get you home. there's no way that we're going to be able to get all of our americans home by august 31st, and to do so without operating outside of the fences. elizabeth: okay. well, it's critics and people are stunned the world over what's going on. congressman lee zeldin, thanks for joining us. it's good to see you. up next, the hill's kristin tate. fired up about this story. this is the botched trump-russia investigation. now the gop is warning democrats, don't unplug funding and demand that the report, when released, is made public. we're talking potential criminal charges here. you're watching "the evening edit" on fox business. >> it abuses the illegal activity of lying to get

elizabeth: let's welcome back to the show e hill" columnist, kristin tate. your reaction -- it's great to see you again -- more than 40 gop senators now say, democrats, do not unplug the funding for special counsel durham's probe into the botched trump-russia investigation. we know this has been going on for two years. the fear is democrats will do that after the end of the fiscal year on september 30th. he could be about to bring criminal charges involving government officials, so he may need the funding to do that. what's your take on this? >> well, this investigation needs to be funded until the end, and then the report needs to be made public. the american public deserves to know. i mean, on obama and biden's watch our national security apparatus was weaponized to take down an incoming president,

donald trump. and the american people deserve to know not only how that happened, but how and why these phony allegations of russian collusion with trump were, you know, probed in this way. and, you know, this investigation by john durham has been going on for two years now, liz, and we still don't have those critical answers. i mean, think about it, government agents being paid for with our hard-earned tax dollars, they subverted the law to conduct inappropriate surveillance for political reasons. this should be the biggest political scandal of the decade, but the media barely wants to talk about it. but people need to be held -- elizabeth: you know -- >> all lawbreakers at any level, and government agents need to know that this cannot happen, and they can never get away with it, can never happen again. elizabeth: it's about potential, you know, what's been stated and indicated. we talked to fbi sources, the fear is they will get -- officials at the fbi would get really hammered for abusing the secret court that's meant to

catch terrorists. it's called the fisa court, you and i have talked about it, that the fbi -- they were warned by the doj not to do this, but they went ahead and used democrats' paid-for opposition research on donald trump to get fisa wiretaps on citizens on the trump campaign when that was opposition research coming out of the steele dossier that the dnc and hillary clinton's campaign paid for and the doj watchdog, the i.g., said a lot of this stuff was prone to embellishment, it was made up. there were 17 major errors and significant omissions in what they were doing. even the fisa court judge ises had a problem with what the fbi was doing here, trying to use powerful wiretaps that can go after many, multiple devices including people you're talking to who don't even know they're being wiretapped. that's what's at stake. >> exactly. and at this point we know a former lawyer for the fbi has pled guilty to altering an e-mail that was used to apply for a fisa warrant to spy on

carter page who's working for the trump administration or the trump campaign, rather, at the time. the media wants to just move on. there's nothing to see here. they want us all to forget about this, but this is important. we cannot forget that left-wingers whipped up this whole country into hysteria over misinformation about donald trump colluding with russia, and special counsel robert mueller spent two years investigating this and wasn't able to find any evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and the kremlin leading up to 2016. so this report needs to be made public, with we need to know all the facts, and we can't let the democrats just make this go away. because this -- it doesn't matter what party, you know, is being targeted, this can't happen in the u.s. government. it can never happen again. everyone who broke the law must be held accountable. no one's above the law. elizabeth: kristin tate, good to see you. thanks for joining us. up next, tom homan on the biden administration's court louses that keep piling up -- losses.

elizabeth: back with us now former eyes erector tom homan, you and i predicted this they said it would be coming it's happening the biden administration they have been getting a lot of losses at the federal court over their border policy, they're trying to wipe out trump's border policy that the biden administration, the d.o.j. is going to take a fight to the supreme court over the remaining and mexico policy, what do you say that. >> i say bring it, i'm involved in those loft suits with ag, florida and arizona and i've been involved tom homan three, joe biden 0, three lawsuits in a row. they're just not ignoring their violating the law and the judges and courts are seeing that. it is clear the statute says what they must do and they're

not doing it. unless they change the law there in clear violation, what redoing is restrained integrity in saving lives and if they want to sue us over that, then it shows what kind of administration you have. elizabeth: a federal judge shotgun abiding a administration attempt to limit which illegal immigrant eyes can arrest and deport for violating criminal laws and other laws and if federal judge in texas shot down the biden teams attempt to revoke trump's remain a mexico border policy that's what they're gonna take to the supreme court in a third federal judge rejected obama's daca program which biden team has supported and the judge says that's illegal and unconstitutional. the losses in the courts are piling up for the biden team. when we talk about remain in mexico which basically says if you come to the border illegally

and you want to try to cross, you have to stay in mexico until your path court proceeding moves. would you testify at the supreme court level about that? >> absolutely i've worked for six presidents starting with ronald reagan i respected all of them i never thought i would be in a position that i would retire as a 34 law enforcement officer into the president of the united states for not securing the country, think about this for a moment the president of the united states in this administration are suing us because we won't secure the border, there's no downtime in securing the border, let ice arrest criminals and remove them from the country, the public safety issue and they're actually going to take us to court to stop us from doing what they should be doing, it is ridiculous what the so administration stance on open borders and not immigration enforcement. i told you once before on the show never in my career did i think illegal alien cannot be arrested by a nice agent today, it's no longer illegal to be

illegal in the country, you have to convict a serious offense for eyes to even pay attention to your previous ridiculous and were taking them to court and were going to keep winning we have more lawsuits and they will keep piling up through the administration. elizabeth: senator chuck grassley uphold the court for their ruling to basically abolishing the biden team push to restrict ice and arresting criminal illegals that are confined to certain categories and that the dividing team is about. he said it's a victory for congress because they write a law that border patrol is supposed to follow and border officials are supposed to follow, that is what he saying. >> this is all up to congress, congress could fix this if they would change the law if they would address three loopholes that brings all these families and children across the border we would not have this issue today all the other stories i was up on the hill trying to commit to congress to pass the

laws so there's no loopholes and asylum claims so we can remove children if they found out to be a victim of trafficking, remove them quickly in the families, if they change those three rules we would not have the issues that we have today and a president can issue executive order, congress has failed the american people and i testified many times, you have failed the american people the last three decades. elizabeth: the border communities and neighborhoods are really getting hit with problems, yet in nature car crash with human smugglers, around laredo texas the driver lost control half a dozen illegal aliens came out of the car it was a fire rollover crash, no one was hurt but talk to us quickly you have about 20 seconds of what's happening at the border and border communities. >> the open border policies are open to the cartels, 50 - 60% is no longer on the line doing
