"the evening edit," it starts

right now. ♪. elizabeth: thanks for joining us. you're watching the fox business network. we begin with the senate. it is going to vote this week on a senate gop resolution to reject president biden's vaccine mandate for large businesses. aishah hasnie has more. ashiah. reporter: liz, good to you, it is bipartisan resolution because democrat senator joe manchin who cosponsored this bill to kill president biden's federal vaccine mandate on private businesses this is what he says, quote, i have long said we should incentivize, not penalize private employers whose responsibility it is to protect their employees from covid-19. so this vaccine mandate targets businesses with 100 or more employees. the rule goes into effect january 4th. that is coming fast. it affects about 84 million workers nationwide. now critics say there is just

bad economic policy amid a disappointing november jobs report and also rising inflation. bipartisan resolution manchin is it putting out might turn out to be more of a messaging move though. we don't know that speaker pelosi would actually bring it to a vote on the house floor. now moderates could force a vote if there is more than 50% support among house members, they could force it, even then, we expect the president would simply veto that bill. that is not stopping efforts to derail this controversial policy after failing to pass an amendment to defund osha's enforcement of this mandate. senator mike lee of utah is promising that he is not relenting on this. >> it is going to come back again. every time we get the opportunity. in the unfortunate event the president persists keeping this in effect and threatening the american people this way, yeah, it will come up again.

reporter: in the meantime others are counting on the courts to come through as multiple courts ordered stays on enforcing the policy for at least federal employees outside of the military. keep in mind osha is incredibly understaffed. we're talking about only 1800 inspectors to oversee millions of employees across the country, 130 million workers. it really doesn't make sense how they would be able to enforce this federal vaccine mandate unless you had people who were basically calling in and tipping people off that their coworkers weren't vaccinated. liz? elizabeth: right, snitch usa. ashiah, great reporting there. thanks for joining us tonight. look who is with us now, dr. larry buschon and dr. greg murphy from the house gop doctors caucus. first to you, congressman buschon, we'll ask dr. greg murphy the same thing, what is

your forecast on the senate vote? >> well i think it is going to pass. the congressional review act only take as simple majority. with senator manchin saying he is voting for it, it will pass. i'm a cosponsor of hj recent 65 on the house side, the companion. i agree with the prem his this needs to be repealed. unfortunately the president has veto power over this legislation. elizabeth: nothing in the constitution, dr. murphy, gives the white house the power to dragoon federal agencies into enacting a mandate, a central bureaucrat you know, d.c. mandate on private countries outside of the legislative, circumventing the legislative power of the congress, right? so that's what is at stake here. isn't that the issue? go ahead. >> liz, nothing as far as president biden has done, several times he stated in his

presidency we don't know whether is constitutional or not but i will go ahead and proceed with it. close to 200 million people in the country are vaccinated. 90% of the at risk individuals 65 or older are vaccinated. time to move on. we can't continue to penalize small businesses or businesses for that matter, especially give the anti-business economic policy that the biden administration has pulled through. i think these things get thrown out by the courts. it is heartening to hear moderate voices over in the senate are willing to take a stand to throw this thing out. elizabeth: we hear you. congressman buschon, outgoing lame duck mayor of new york, bill de blasio, mandating a private companies without a testing option. no forewarning, no debate, whether it is legal. the incoming mayor eric adams has to deal with this. it feels like a alexander haig and nixon moment. all of sudden he is pulling this. dr. fauci says the omicron

variant doesn't appear as dangerous as thought. the white house fast tracking potentially more potent vaccines. what is going on with that? >> i would agree it is an outrage discuss policy and unnecessary and possibly not legal. it will further damage new york city's economy but here's the thing, covid politics is good for democrats historically. there is a lot of virtue signaling going on whether republicans care about people. that is what this is all about. it is an outrageous policy as dr. murphy mentioned. it is time to move on, open the economy and quit the political bantering about the covid vaccines, about the covid virus, and politicians need to step away and allow the american people to get back to business. elizabeth: it is the blame game, dr. murphy, "politico" reporting even democrat internal polling numbers has the president going down in battle ground districts across the country where half

the voters don't like the job he is doing. he is underwater in the battleground states of pennsylvania, north carolina, arizona and nevada. you know, they're taking the blame game to a whole new level, dr. murphy. now the new line of attack is blame republicans for prolonging the pandemic. what do you say to that? >> it is comical to be honest with you, liz, outright comical. i don't think that the white house press secretary has a very good job because she has to put lipstick on a pig. this is just ridiculous. the fact this he would attack republicans for prolonging something they themselves have exacerbated is simply absurd. we need to get back to things. the whole thing about the omicron variant got thrown out crazy by the media and white house long before we knew anything about it. let's move ahead and stop the stupid policies this administration is moving forward. elizabeth: congressman buschon, they're blaming the pandemic for inflation, supply chain, bad jobs report, blaming the

pandemic for smash mob looting. the messaging has fallen down the bed down the stairs for the white house. any politician knows they need a clear adversary to keep winning and the president is not having one. "new york times" is running out a op-ed by bret stevens, stop politicizing the pandemic. trump got criticized for that. stop lecturing, being condescending to people. imputing bad faith or recklessness to people that disagree with you. let's listen to what democrat emanuel clear cleaver is saying and the white house on this. let's watch. >> i think if there is anything positive in the omicron variant it is that it has created a level of fear that in the long run will be good for economy, and good for the health of americans because i think the unvaccinated are causing much of the problem in the country right

now but they are going now getting vaccine. >> answered verses versions of this question before but we feel here covid still has an overlaying effect, impact on people and how they're seeing things day-to-day, for good reason. elizabeth: okay. congressman buschon, what do you say? >> well first of all in polling for democrats covid continues to be the number one issue amongst their constituency. that is why they're saying these things. reality is the reason we can't get out of this because of the oppressive policies this administration continues to impose like this mandate for health care workers, for example, which led a letter today with congressman buchanan today against. you know they're stymieing oil and gas exploration in the united states, getting us to where we're not energy independent, threatening tax increases on americans, and american businesses. they need to look in the mirror when they see why the economy

won't get back on track. elizabeth: quick final word, bret stephens makes the point, there was irritating obnoxious kind of attack that the covid-19 pandemic was taking off like wildfire in the red states. now "the new york times" is actually saying no, it is taking off in the blue states and new mexico and in vermont and minnesota. where florida, alabama, louisiana, the red states are seeing it dropping that was always a obnoxious line of attack to go after red states they're causing pandemic after, that is what we're seeing in terms of that storyline being flipped, dr. murphy. your final word? >> the virus itself is not very political. the fact that they have tried to make it political. the fact this is not going away. it doesn't care whether you're in a red state or a blue state. we need to stop running from this thing. we can't realize, we have to realize we have to start living instead of fearing of dying. it will be here.

get vaccinated. we have good therapeutics. get the economy back on track and let the american people love freedom again. elizabeth: okay, congressman buschon and greg murphy, good to see you. come back soon. up next gop strategist ford o'connell. slamming of alexandria ocasio-cortez that they're being tone deaf, downplaying smash mob looting helped fuel $45 billion worth of annual retail theft. a security guard has been shot death in this. workers assaulted. have they not seen the videos? keep it here on "the evening edit". hey google. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

where facts don't matter when it conflicts with the progressive marxist agenda. the root of this is defund the police policies, eliminating bail policies, trying to empty prisons. elizabeth: when you get rid of cash bail. downgrade shoplifting to misdemeanors, you will see this. 30 states since 2005 have done this. they have raised the dollar threshold to $1000 or more for retail shoplifting theft. that is not a good thing. by the way security guard kevin yashida was shot and killed, workers are being attacked. this is serious stuff. the white house blaming the pandemic for crime? >> well look, having been in all could of d.a.'s offices i will tell you when you do not hold criminals accountable you will get more crime because they do not fear the consequences. unfortunately again a lot of this comes down to the progressive understanding how we should be tough on crime. until the democrats lose in a

bloodbath in the 2022 midterms they're not going to learn the lesson they want to hear. unfortunately it is not just retailers getting hurt here. everyone is getting hurt, when you have, when you have this problem, what will wind up happening, it will make poor neighborhoods more impoverished. you will create retail wastelands. >> we hear you. also san francisco's luxury section, faxable union square district, ford, it is turning into a ghost town these days. you see the stores barricaded with plywood. those images going viral. you make an important point. listen to a small business owner in oakland, california, listen to what he had to say his retail pot store was looted and ransacked. watch this. >> safer selling on streets of oakland than legally. that is problem. that is crazy to even say. that is the reality i'm living here right now. elizabeth: he is safer selling it on the street than in a store. >> well this is exactly the

problem here is that you're going to hurt everyone and unfortunately the democrats are not going to back down out of these policies because in 2020 they thought that they would help rally their base. now it is killing their own constituents. until they pay the price at the ballot box, they will not back down. elizabeth: i have to report this. five dozen police officers in the united states have been shot dead on the job. more than 300 have been shot at. these guys are being killed in the line of duty. we suffered through a year of defund the police and rioting. 25 people at least died in those riots. listen to what the assistant sheriff of los angeles county is explain about zero cash policy. made it burglary suspects in general are released. watch. >> the zero bail policy currently in effect in los angeles county it was initiated at the beginning of covid to try to create a little

extra space in the jails and we still have it going on. some of the suspects we've arrested we've been able to get bail enhancements but, if there is no record of a recent arrest and, just a simple burglary charge, generally someone will be released with a citation to appear at a later date. elizabeth: generally will be released. your final word, ford. >> video and data don't lie. brian: emac. bottom line, prosecutors particularly in blue-run cities don't get tough it will only continue t will lead to more bloodshed, more loss of life, more poverty. elizabeth: ford o'connell, thanks for joining us. come back soon. still to come this hour are we heading into a new cold war? reports from u.s. intelligence that russia plans to invade ukraine in early 2022, as president biden is scheduled to speak to russian premier vladmir

♪. elizabeth: back with us now from house transportation and infrastructure, congresswoman beth van duyne joins us. good to see you. now we've got "the hill" and "the washington post" reporting that democrats may not be able to pass the rest of the biden agenda by christmastime. senator schumer was talking about that by you know the middle of the month. you know we're seeing reports out of you know, d.c. it won't happen. is it one and done for biden, just infrastructure? is that it? >> well, i certainly hope so. i think what is happening is people are starting to come around, at least elected officials if they have been home over this last week, they have been talking to their could constituents they're realizing the last thing they want right now is additional debt, additional inflation, additional supply chain issues. every single thing this administration is pushing is leading to that including this

multitrillion dollar reconciliation package they keep pushing. is it one and done? i would hope so before any additional regulations, anymore inflation, anymore control mechanisms to put on people. i think they will have a very difficult time passing anything before the end of the year and i keep hearing from the senate they're asking what the actual costs are related to this bill, something that the house democrats didn't really ever seem to get an answer to nor require it before they passed it. elizabeth: it was an achievement to get infrastructure done, right? even when republicans were controlling both chambers of congress they couldn't get one under the trump presidency. this may not happen because the midterms are coming up. congress will have to raise the debt ceiling by september 15th. the biden agenda may be done and over. your point about inflation is important. economists are saying this. the federal reserve, treasury secretary, all warning inflation will remain stuck above 2% over the next three years. listen to senator john kennedy

on this. watch. >> trillions of dollars of new spending, new taxes, new debt, new welfare programs. the only way i know how to improve it is with a shredder. it is going to fuel inflation. when a hot pocket costs you $10, remember we're building back better. a new welfare program for illegal immigrants. amnesty for illegal immigrants. federal takeover of early childhood education and child care. eventually the federal government is going to want to control what they teach your kids. >> what do you say? >> i mean senator kennedy is never one to mince words and he has his facts out absolutely correctly. they're throwing everything they can think of into this bill expanding government beyond. it is not building back better but building bigger bureaucracy.

they continue to do that. this is all about controlling and the federal government to be absolute control and debt upon debt we have no way of paying for. they're doing all of this at the same time they're having open borders. they're allowing amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants that are here. they're hope opening up the entitlement programs which is adding billions of dollars that we don't have. at the same time working families are struggling right now to pay rent, to put gas in their car that has gone up over 50% this year. let's not even talk about christmas gifts they can't pay but how much more they're paying for everyday items like food. those are the real struggles. democrats in control right now are just not in control, are not in tune with what the american people are saying. elizabeth: the messaging, the messaging is really curious. the white house is using core inflation rate which knocks out food and energy, right? if you factor, that is what is going back up. if you factor in food and

energy, shows it is sharply rising. it is wiping out income and wage growth. i mean federal reserve -- >> how -- elizabeth: take that on. >> well, how they can take out fuel costs and energy costs when nearly every single thing we purchase had to got delivered to us in some way or shape or form. when you start increasing energy costs, how peel pay for their heat and the gas tank that increases anything that they buy. how they can take that out, not understand that is direct relationship to inflation, inflating costs of everything you're purchasing, just again shows they're naivety. elizabeth: if gets serious about inflation they will have to raise interest rates right at the same time they're passing tax increases. god, that will be really a hit to the economy. okay, congressman van duyne, good to see you. come back soon. we love having you on. still to come this hour the government watchdog groups

simultaneously. you have got the iranian nuclear deal trying to renegotiate that. that will not work. you have china and taiwan but the most current one facing us right now what is happening with russia in ukraine. if i was advising the president, i said you need to think about what is put putin trying to do long term? you have to understand to what he is doing to operate well and respond to him. putin looks at himself as the newest version of peter the great. when you look at him, what he is doing right now, looking at the russian constitution, he can serve as president until 2037. that is longer than any russian ruler, modern russian ruler. longer than stalin. longer than katherine the great and a little longer than peter the great who is his role model who was an expansionist czar going forward. he looks at himself historically and i would tell the president you need to think how he would react to this, trying to do

something, remodel europe the way he wants to look at it. long term he wants to break nato. he is doing a pretty good job of it. talk about that. elizabeth: there is talk of fresh sanctions on vladmir putin's inner circle and on russia's energy producers. also potentially cutting off access to the swift international global communications system for, for you know, for the, for banking. the white house can't just knock out russia from swift. it is based in brussels. the u.s. has no jurisdiction over that. by the way it is mostly a communications system for indicating wire transfers coming through and the like. they need to go through with the eu to go along with that. eu is likely worried russia so retaliate and cut off the oil and gas supply right? >> that is exactly right. 60% of europe depends on russian energy. if the nord stream pipeline gets approved, 80% of the lng, liquid

natural gas germany uses comes from russia bypassing ukraine. he has them over a real economic barrel. he knows that. he is applying all the pressure he can. we're sitting in washington will apply pressure on us. long term if he can break the eu, he can do it economically. that is in his long term gameplan. we're playing checkers, and he is playing chess and he knows it. he has been through four u.s. presidents. elizabeth: finish your thought. >> he has been through four u.s. presidents already. he knows biden is not a strong leader, what happened with four years with obama and biden. when we lost ukraine, when they took crimea from ukraine. knows he is not a strong player in the international community. he does it as well as he can. he is a strong enemy and crude and ruthless leader. >> nothing stopped the russia

taking crimea in 2014 including the president's diplomatic efforts. we're waging a war on oil and gas somehow asking russia to produce. somehow oil from russia is better for climate change than u.s. oil. i want to get your reaction on this. china is threatening retaliation after the white house announced a diplomatic boycott of the beijing winter olympics. it is also china is reportedly launching a potential military base off the coast of africa. your word on this? >> look. i think it is about time that president biden stands up and says hey enough of this. we're not going to tolerate it. i was fortunate enough to serve four years under president trump and vice president pence. they wouldn't put up with this kind of stuff, not at all. they would believe in work in asymmetric way to push back on this, do something that would make life difficult for chinese, russians, and the iranians. building the base on the western

part of africa. they have a base in djibouti part of debt dep employment sy. when the chinese go out to help you they are making a move to support themselves in the future and hurt you. look what they did recently in uganda. uganda couldn't pay the debt that the chinese incurred upon them. so what did the chinese do? they took control of the only international airport, entebbe international airport in uganda. they will do the same thing potentially in the panama canal because they own both big warehousing and ship facilities, both western and pacific and atlantic end. this is just the way they operate. and they're playing another play to become not a regional power. what they're trying to play is becoming a global power. elizabeth: stay on that quickly. >> they're doing pretty well at it. elizabeth: debt diplomacy for land grabs. we'll see chinese warships rearming opposite the east coast of the u.s.? oaf the west coast of africa

we'll have that and a military base potentially as china you say with debt diplomacy we'll take your real estate. your final word. >> let me give you a worst-case scenario. what if you see a combined russian and chinese fleet moving around in the pacific and atlantic as well? they're working together. wouldn't surprise me in the future, combined joint manuevers between russia and chinese fleets that would cause us a major problem. elizabeth: okay. general keith kellogg. thank you for your service to our country. thanks for coming on. still to come this hour, government ethics watchdogs in washington raising the alarm bells again over the news about the plunge in donations to the clinton foundation. it is a stark image of what was going on there about selling access to hillary clinton. as that goes, so does the hunt hunter biden controversy.

elizabeth: welcome to the show "the hill" media columnist, fox news contributor joe concha back with us. this cnn chris cuomo controversy, it is now getting worse. we have reports that newly fired chris cuomo is threatening to sue cnn over, this is the report, over his contract, 6 million a year or whatever. he is denying he ever lied to the network's president jeff zucker about working to help his brother, former governor andrew cuomo smear andrew cuomo's sexual assault accusers. chris cuomo saying that the cnn chief knew about it. these are the reports coming in.

are these reports true? is this report accurate? >> it is very interesting, elizabeth. i can't confirm them this is chris cuomo's word versus cnn president jeff zucker's words. what cuomo is saying, that i let zucker know everything i was doing the entire time, he was okay with it. when things got too hot in the kitchen only then did he fire me. it will be interesting to see what happens if this ends up going to a court because then i would imagine there is correspondence, text messages emails, between cuomo, between cnn brass. maybe that was the case in this situation because it is reallying it that all of these months, we've already known chris cuomo was advising his brother how to smear credible accusers of sexual harrassment against governor cuomo, right and cnn did nothing. only this week when the damning text messages came out for all the world to see did they actually do anything. by the way, a younger staffer

leveled sexual harrassment allegations against chris cuomo just the what his brother was dealing with it. his days in television is numbered anyway. elizabeth: they are acting like prima donna. cnn fired chris cuomo, after attorney that represented governor cuomo's accuser charlotte bennett, that a different client says that chris cuomo sexually attacked her not at cnn. if he is already apologizing on the record to abc's shelley ross for groping her years ago, right, if he is on the record, chris cuomo, that is the morals clause. you have a morals clause in tv contracts. you're not allowed to embarass the network you're working at, right? i don't know if he has got standing right?

>> shelley ross at abc was chris cuomo's boss. imagine that. this was at a public party. went up and grabbed her derriere, admits to doing it. ross's husband was right there, good thing i wasn't mr. ross i saw that happen, that would have ended quite differently. but, look, brian williams made a comeback with msnbc and jeffrey toobin, the self-serving jeffrey toobin, still on the air at cnn. elizabeth: this is something else, because i was going to say, this is next level. he is accused of, chris cuomo, right of using his power to help his brother smear and dig up dirt on the sexual assault accusers of his brother, new york attorney general letitia james outlined. that is next level stuff. people are really disgusted by this. chris cuomo's statement about his firing contained no apologies for his own abuses of power using his own position to do this. so who would hire him, joe? >> no apologies for those women,

back with us now, fox news conservator from a wisconsin congressman, sean duffy. i do have yarmouth. the clinton foundation, new 990 forms, new virus tax forms, a precipitous drop in donations as acquaintance spell for power, a little over 60 million in 2020, at the punjab 96% when they nearly raked in a quarter billion, 250 million since 2009. hello clinton was appointed secretary of state so this tells the story of what was going on right? >> are you saying people work and your bidding to the clinton foundation to get access to hillary clinton as secretary of state and potentially put next president of united states? of course all of us were going out, it's a way for very powerful but dirty people to find the money into the foundation and benefit the content and get access to

clinton through the foundation. this was the rocket and media participated willfully with this narrative that no, the clintons were doing great work saving humanity with these contributions. it was a great foundation from you nancy 93, 96% drop in donations even though few have the pandemic, other foundations have not had this kind of drop. when you use political power, that's when you see the drops which means only people contributed because they can't access to the clinton -- can i make one last comparison? it's just like hunter biden, you have power because of politics, hunter biden's paintings for half a million dollars apiece. we know that paintings are worth that. if his dad wasn't the president, they wouldn't sell for $5 apiece but they are doing the same thing to us on hunter biden they did on the content going no, there's nothing on here but when hunter biden is out, he will not

be able to sell a piece of art. liz: let's listen to this on hunter biden today. >> not an employee of the federal government so i would show you his representative as it relates to the book, i've never had the time nor interest in exploring the book. >> i think i answered your question. you can go to the representative of the person who is not a employee of the federal government. we have to move on. liz: author of the new book laptop from hell about hunter biden. he noticed the tone moving rapidly beyond hunter biden question involving the president. >> no caps and she doesn't want to talk about it because there's not a lot of good answers. the laptop expose a lot but it's not about whether hunter biden

works for the federal government which is what jen psaki said, it's whether hunter biden who doesn't work for the government but it's on a different president using the relationship with his back to make money on the side none of us see which is what's happening and then the question is, are the deals hunter biden and joe biden are cutting, are these the benefit of the american people to advance their cause, working hands causes of america or are they benefiting china and russia and other players around the world? would argue if you look at the things joe biden has done, it seems like he's looking out for hunter biden and his deals as opposed to the american people. liz: hunter biden's laptop had text messages think i'm the guy paying for the family's expenses including my father who had a net worth of 30,000 dollars around 2009 so oversight during pulling from a majority of americans don't like this, they hate the corruption and feel like there is a turnstile whipping fast between the government and donors and people

who want to buy influence. look at hillary clinton foundation, 85 of 160 donors when hillary was secretary of state donated to the foundation, country squirt donating. saudi arabia and others so we are supposed to be following the money trail and you are right about the implications for u.s. policy. your word on back? >> what's important is republicans put never get away with this because media would call them out for it. they are a third rail of politics and should be involved. i don't care if you're republican or democrat, our american government works best if you don't have shady deals between high-ranking american officials and their family aching money on the side outside of the salary taxpayers paid up because the media is not doing their job, not willing to scratch the service of the story and report on it, i don't think

americans like the story but they don't know the full-blown aspect of how bad the story is because mainstream media doesn't really report and that is the problem, they should do their job. liz: good to see you, come back soon. by his new christmas book he wrote. i am elizabeth mcdonald, human walking that evening at it. that does it for us. thank you for watching, and joyous again tomorrow night. ♪♪ kennedy: welcome. if you think there's a spike in crime, you are an idiot according to congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez who claims crazy videos of storm moving is just hysteria but we have been watching ransacking stores coast to coast starting with shampoo and deodorant from changed stores but now the bad guys graduated to a higher end to the good stuff like
