6:03 pm
i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit," it starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show. you're watching the fox business network. start with the action on what's going on with the biden agenda on capitol hill. we have a full-court press to change the narrative to, sell it t went from calling it humanitarian infrastructure, to claim five 1/2 trillion cost nothing, zero. there is a new narrative, hillary clinton, hillary vaughn, we'll try to get hillary clinton soon. hillary vaughn what have you got? reporter: some democrats are getting away from talking about the total price tag. 2 would invest in social programs that would pay out over a decade, they want people to take the total cost to divide that by 10 but even 3.5 trillion is considered a compromise. progressives pointing out they
6:04 pm
just didn't want free two year community college. they wanted state four-year colleges to be free as well. they didn't want to just expand medicaid to include vision and dental but lower the age to qualify. >> would you be willing to go down to 2 trillion? >> no. reporter: 2 trillion is still 500 billion above senator joe manchin's top line number. even though pelosi and schuler have a deadline to finish negotiations by halloween, that is not scaring manchin into making any hasty compromises. >> i'm more concerned about our nation and our country turning into a more of a entitlement society versus a rewarding society. reporter: liz, "politico" is reporting that speaker pelosi told her committee chairs on a call today the theme for these reconciliation negotiations is about doing fewer things well. so quality, not quantity. liz? elizabeth: okay, we'll stay on top of that with you, hillary vaughn, it is good to see you. let's bring in florida
6:05 pm
congressman brian mast of house transportation and infrastructure. we have even more harrassment of senator sinema. she is a moderate. happened at an airport and a plane. president biden justified this as part of the process. how do you win the argument stalking people in bathrooms and airports? >> i have yet to win a argument talking to somebody in a urinenal or stall next stall. that is one of the things out of mainstream media the big hypocrisy, they own the radicals. they own this narrative, where the republican crosses aisle they're so reasonable but if a democrat crosses the aisle, crosses their narrative, they're a traitor, they're a traitor to everyone else. elizabeth: we're talking to our irs sources the reason why the democrats want the irs to target just $600 in bank account transactions that is the minimum amount where small businesses and companies have to issue tax
6:06 pm
documents to the irs to report that income after the irs a. going after the tax gap, small businesses, and independent contractors, reaction to that? >> they're not just going after everybody and independent businesses and those small contractors and small businesses taking away their 199-a 20% deduction we tried to do in the tax cut and jobs act to make sure they had benefits as well but think about this, they're looking to fund the irs, the agency that collects taxes, they want to collect more taxes from you to give them 80 billion more dollars in taxes to hire more tax collectors to do proper with that agency. it is fundamental, fundamentally wrong for the government to think they can more efficiently spend money than the individual with their dollars or the business or corporations with their dollars. and the other point about this they're bringing about the highest level of inflation which
6:07 pm
is the greatest disparity between the wealthy and those that earn less or those that have more mouths to feed or those on a fixed income. that is a grocery store. at the pump. >> that is what moderate senators manchin and sinema are worried about, rising inflation jolts all boats. let's get to this. president biden has been going after these two senators. he is saying if we had two more votes just two people. you're right, they're worried about rising inflation. they want to fix the nation's roads and bridges and water supply and broadband. you know, congressman, let's watch what happened. watch the president, watch white house press secretary claim this is free speech when these senators have been bullied. let's watch this. >> we need a build back better plan right now. >> we need solutions with the build back better plan. we knocked on doors for to you get you elected. that is how we got you elected we can get you out of offers if you don't support what you
6:08 pm
promised us. >> senator, hello, how are you? >> i don't think -- [inaudible]. only people that don't have, people who have secret service around them. so, this is -- >> let me be clear here the con text of what happened here is very important. and senator sinema put out a statement this morning. as she said, i would reiterate from here, the protection of the freedom to protest, speak out and to criticize is fundamental to our democracy. the president believes that. what happened this weekend was that her classroom, her students and the safe and intellectually stimulating environment she created during year at teaching at asu. that is inappropriate. that is unacceptable. the context what happened here is important despite the fact of course we stand for, the president stands for the fundamental right of people to protest, to object, to criticize as they often do outside of the gates at the white house.
6:09 pm
elizabeth: we're at the point where the white house now is whitewashing and condoning stalking? so is it okay to stalk rashida tlaib, alexandria ocasio-cortez, nancy pelosi, maxine waters? this is more relativism. what the the white house press secretary left out is how people have been stalked and harassed in their personal, private spaces including in restaurants, at their personal homes. steve scalise was shot at a ball game. we had mitch mcconnell, senators chuck schumer, we had other senators stalked like josh hawley at their homes. nancy pelosi was harassed too. should the white house messaging operation step down? you cannot condone stalking and harrassment ever. >> yeah. listen people shouldn't be harassed the way that you win an argument you go out there just don't tell people what you think, you should be doing that. you tell them why you think something fundamentally. government needs to derive all the power from the consent of
6:10 pm
the people. from myself i will talk to somebody anywhere. if they want to talk to me sitting in a stall in the airport next to me in a bathed room. go ahead, talk to me. i will handle that just fine. this is the point we need to get to. the government has lost the consent of the people. people say, hey, yeah, tax those other people, take their money but that is not the consent, that is not the true consent of the people. that can't be what is stood for. manchin and sinema are -- elizabeth: show the media also justifying stalking and harassing in people's private spaces. this is wrong. this has to stop because it is dangerous. it is wrong. the president's poll numbers have been dropping. so now he is turning to the far left to bully his agenda through? i'll tell you, people will leave the democrat party if this is the way they're going to play it. they will go to be independent or going to become republicans. this is not the way to do it if your approval numbers are dropping. we have wall street already warning inflation will be a big problem than the federal reserve
6:11 pm
believes and consumer confidence is dropping. so we have all these issues hitting all at the same time. go ahead. >> don'ter to get it is not just official public officials they're condoning stalking. remember they're advocating if you're wearing a trump hat, yell at them at a restaurant. get them kicked out. don't serve people in your establishment, things like that. those things gone with democrats as well. elizabeth: people are not happy with the way the former president handled things too but this is wrong to be so abusive and bullying, trying to get your agenda through as you point out, congressman. how about the power of persuasion instead of stalking and harassing to get your point across? congressman brian mast, we'll have you back on soon. border crisis, 10 republican governors to join texas governor abbott at the border as the biden white house rejects disaster for the region as groups like al qaeda are trying

♪. elizabeth: okay, it was another damaging day for facebook on capitol hill a former facebook worker turned whistle-blower exposed a parade of horribles today. the stock is in correction territory. it has lost billions of dollars in market value. jackie deangelis has more. reporter: good evening, liz. start by listening to facebook whistle-blower frances haugen testify on capitol hill in her own words. >> the company leadership knows how to make instagram and facebook safer but they have put their astronomical profits before people. reporter: in response to haugen's claim the facebook director of policy
6:17 pm
communications, today a subcommittee held with a former product manager for facebook, worked with the company less than two years, had no direct reports, never attended a decision point meeting with c level executives around testified six times not working on the subject matter in question. we don't agree with her characterization of many issues she testified about end quote. we talked to former sec chair harvey pitt to discuss whether or not this kind of hearing today would force some action. he said this. >> the documentation that exists is very troublesome and suggests on its face that facebook spoke one way to the public but acted another way in private. for a public company with respect to material aspects of its platform and its operations
6:18 pm
doing something like that is known in brooklyn where i hail from by a simple word, fraud. reporter: facebook of course has its hands full between this and yesterday's outage. liz? elizabeth: jackie, thank you so much. it is good to see you. joining us now senator marsha blackburn. senator great to have you back on. you were at the hearing, what was your impression of today? >> miss haugen was well-prepared. what she brought forward were facebook's internal research documents. so facebook can say all day long, this is not an area where she worked but what she did have is a very curious mind. she looked at the open source, but they have a closed loop system and open on their drive for everyone in the company because it is a flat organization where all of these documents about research that they were doing. what really caught her attention
6:19 pm
was the way the research was being done on children as young as eight years old and the way children were being allowed on the site even though they were under 13. this is all a violation of the children's online privacy protection act. also the ftc has requirements around individual privacy for all users and there were violations there. and liz, things that deal with data mining, with keeping information. allowing sex traffickers, drug traffickers, cartels, using the site in various ways. so there was a lot there that facebook had researched that they chose not to share with us in hearings, even denying that they had some of, some of this information and of course the sec is looking at some of these documents.
6:20 pm
they have been in receipt of these documents and will have questions for facebook regarding those. elizabeth: this scandal is now ratcheting up. it's different. because the whistle-blower as you pointed out revealed internal evidence. also that facebook knew all about this but ignored it. it is also fanning things like ethnic violence in place, being used to do that in myanmar and ethiopia. the thing about children, you make a good point with children young as eight years old, a third of teen girls who use instagram make them feel suicidal about their bodies, right? it faces antitrust action by the ftc and laws in europe that could hit it significantly hard. what you heard today, what is the next step for congress in terms of laws? >> yes. and what we have been working on in building bipartisan support for is online privacy, data security, and section 230 reforms and these are areas where i have worked for years
6:21 pm
trying to build bipartisan work and i really appreciate that getting the internal documents affirms what we have heard anecdotally from parents and teachers, from school principals, from pediatricians, about the way children were being data mined and marketed to on instagram, facebook, the way they were using messenger kids to try to have kids schedule playdates using messenger kids and this is a violation of copa. so to bring this forward, to get these documents that show yes, facebook knew this, because they had done the research on this, to figure out how to get more children to use their site. elizabeth: feels like a potential fraud case too. >> correct.
6:22 pm
elizabeth: you point out, you make a good point because the bbc had reported this, that facebook and its apps were being used in sex trafficking including marketing in human slavery, slave markets across the globe and also now the dea is focusing on social media in terms of drug trafficking. so this is exploding right now. your final word. >> yes. what we have to realize is that facebook has 10% of their users in the u.s. and 90% across the globe. so to get this information that they know they're being used for drug trafficking, sex trafficking, human trafficking, linking cartels and people, yes, this brings a lot of issues forward. we're going to stay on this. i do think this is the impetus for getting online privacy, data security and section 230 reforms passed. elizabeth: scary when it comes to children, right? senator blackburn, good to have

6:29 pm
so what we're reading, getting rumors from, are people that want to create the narrative, this is just some grand conspiracy that is being drummed up by john durham. i think the bottom line is this, the american people expect durham to do his job and have the resources to do his job and my concern right now is whether or not garland, when he is politicizing everything including now targeting possible school districts and parents that go to school board meetings for somehow being terrorists, this is someone who is dangerous as the attorney general, i think if he could, he would try to shut durham down. every republican, senator and congressman should be demanding and telling the attorney general if you do this, you are obstructing justice and you will be held accountable. elizabeth: what durham put forward is what is called a speaking indictment. it went beyond just charges. that is just like a five to 10
6:30 pm
page indictment. this is more than double that, 27 pages and it laid out possible evidence, possible information he is pursuing. so he is going after basically the, you know the emails, the text messages, the bank records, the billing records, the meeting calendars and other documents that the law firm that represented the hillary campaign. so there, you know, this is like ken starr. ken starr in the whitewater case went after the rose law firm billing records to find out what happened in whitewater. looks like he is doing the same. when you looking at speaking indictment, congressman, he is laying out hillary's team using cyber pro researchers who were working to protect the government, working with the pentagon and darpa to protect the government from cyberattacks, basically deliver secret government data to take down trump. >> i would say this, think about it, think about it this way, typically lying to the fbi is used, the reason you say it's a
6:31 pm
five-page indictment -- elizabeth: 27 pages. >> no, but when you say a normal one is five-pages that is because the fbi knocks on your door. they're going after you for some major crime. they can't get it on you. they allow you to plead down. what this is, this is very unusual because it is a 27-page indictment as you said, a speaking indictment. i think this is even worse because can you imagine a country where we have people who don't like their neighbor, who don't like their politics, can just walk into their local fbi field office and frame their fellow american citizen? that's what happened here. this is so beyond the pale of what the clinton campaign and dnc were i will willing to do, frankly it took a 27-page indictment. people should not downplay it. this is not okay in america. elizabeth: this is about the trump organization computers talking supposedly to russia's

6:38 pm
minnesota. elizabeth: can you say he is primarily responsible. we hear what you're saying. let me back up. we get it people are against police brutality, right? the idea that you can cut cops that will help in terms of violent crime that is what is at issue, right? to your point austin, texas, has lost 150 cops since 2020. they cut a third out of its police budget, 150 million. now austin is seeing a steep rise in homicides. ford, you and i talked about this, people in austin, texas have to call 311, not 90000 if a robbery is underway, no immediate threat. when they talk about defund the police, do people bet the back end of it. >> no they don't get the back of it. my friend matt is supporting a measure. not just the police force is.
6:39 pm
george soros elected 75 d.a.s in this country who have very little interest upholding the rule of law, defending public safety. that is why you have rising crime rates. elizabeth: stick on that, that is the point you were trying to make. minn minute hit with historic violent crime. that is happening there too. prosecutions nationwide, coast to coast is dropping. we're talking about prosecuting certain crimes. look at seattle, philadelphia, los angeles, san francisco, boston, new york, that, they're dropping cases for certain, you know, lower level crimes. so that is what you're talking about, ford, right? what about justice for victims, right? >> you're exactly right. someone who worked in two district attorneys offices including in los angeles county, i will tell you when you don't enforce the law and treat criminals like criminals, not only do you marginalize the victims but you embolden the criminals and over time social chaos breaks out. that is what we're seeing in many of these large cities that are controlled by soros,

6:47 pm
>> well let's put it this way, put things in perspective. the pcr test is a very good test for detecting pathogens, not just covid-19. that is one thing. but if you start to put pieces of the puzzle together what we may have learned this is for shadowing if you will. did they order these tests because they anticipated something? was it for preparedness just in case? or were they really worried? you can go back to january of 19 and the doctor, who was the leading virologist on these coronaviruses and bad viruses, they call her the bat lady, she worked at the wuhan lab, in january of 19 and she and a doctor came out and said the next outbreak after coronavirus is likely to come from china. so this is january of 19. she also wrote something in august of 19, talking about how she found another coronavirus from some of the bats that she studied in singapore. so she was in caves for three
6:48 pm
years studying these bats and these coronaviruses. she knew darn well that they had an abundance of coronaviruses in that lab, maybe that is what led her to do this but also keep in mind in 2015 american after ralph barrick, how they were changing viruses to be more infectious. some call it chimeric, others call it gain of function research. they had the warnings to know what they were doing. elizabeth: former dni ratcliff is telling "newsweek" where there is a lot of snoke there is a lot a lot of fire. cybersecurity pro, 2.0. australian media is reporting this, they found notable, significant, abnormal, 2019 purchases of pcr equipment by the peoples liberation army hospital. the wuhan institute of virology, and the wuhan university of

[szasz] we take care of ourselves constantly; it's important. we walk three to five times a week, a couple miles at a time. - we've both been taking prevagen for a little more than 11 years now. after about 30 days of taking it, we noticed clarity that we didn't notice before. - it's still helping me. i still notice a difference. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

the dullest put up a press saying that is so why reject a border disaster declaration? >> it flies in the face of everything they've been trying to shove down americans throats. they keep trying to convince americans in the world the border is secretary mayorkas recently said in home and security after listing out a litany of failures on their part, he stood by his investment that is secure so it's political suicide after the doubled and tripled and quadrupled down on this narrative the border is secure but ask anybody from a member of congress is been there, like myself to a member who's been among the border, he has border patrol agent, it's not secure. we are seeing no individual on the known terrorist watchlist, that's a fact. 308 thousand guideways. record-breaking list of narcotics. that is a fact. they have record-breaking number of apprehensions and
6:56 pm
apprehensions just mean they were processed and released into our country. that is a fact. i know these are inconvenient for the administration but we don't have to answer to them anymore under the latest national defense authorization act, congress took action to declare what's happening on the border a crisis and when it passes the final version here in the next few weeks, the administration will have to finally admit what we knew all along. it's a crisis. liz: how will that come about the defense bill? what are the steps that, what would have to happen? the white house step up and put up a declaration saying it is a crisis? >> thankfully, congress makes laws and they have to execute and uphold the laws we make. there is a provision that declares through congress and keep in mind, this is sick
6:57 pm
and tired of congress doing the talking but no action. this provides action behind those words so it's time congress steps up to make that declaration. liz: the president doesn't declared a federal disaster, fema declares that it disaster, right? rejecting that, that means means of dollars could not go to border communities but the defense bill saying it's a crisis for millions of dollars going to the border communities besides the surgeon of national guard or troops to the borders? >> as a ranking member of emergency preparedness response and recovery subcommittee, fema subcommittee nationally, i've been asking since march 17 about what fema allocated to the
6:58 pm
crisis. they just got back to me about two weeks ago. nearly $109 on the airlines and hotel bills in our country. with this and the money behind it might direct troops in the southern border, there's nothing the president can do to stop that. we don't work for biden, biden works for the american people. we make the loss it has to be followed and you see the governor stepping up meeting with abbott and ron desantis who has been fantastic and securing the border not just the southwest border and mutual aid but floridians safety and well-being, their coming to the table. we have a situation where every state in the country is not a border town. liz: and drug gains and u.s. cities, every state is a border state in that regard because of the flow of drug network into the u.s. state among your take on the u.s. supreme court ruling
6:59 pm
in favor of former president trump's plan to use $3.6 billion in things like pension funds for the portable? the biden white house stopped that this is pushback from the supreme court against the white house, what do you say? >> i did a bit of a happy dance when i heard the news and i immediately called all border patrol agents and personally told them what was going on in case they haven't heard the news and they were ecstatic. just in our sector, the busiest sector we have along the southwest border of the ninth we have, that had enough appropriations that could authorize to build 120 miles, only 21 miles were needed. a multiplier and means the agents working day in day out, they have the structures. liz: for the white house follow through? the states are doing it so we'll stay on that.
