"the evening edit" starts right now. elizabeth: deadly tornadoes cutting a path of mass destruction through six states. tonight the update as the death toll rises. also tonight the year 2021, the year of the big rethink. major d.c. and media narratives, consensus thinking falling apart. polls show that the nation's conversation now moving away from the white house, away from the d.c. bubble, on major issues affecting you and your families. 2021, the year the president's poll numbers fell apart too.

bad numbers from a new abc ipsos poll again revealing the most rapid poll drop for any president in a century. the fallout tonight. plus a look ahead to 2022. joining us tonight, congressman chris stewart, former white house council of economics chair, thomas phillip son. attorney general ashley moody, deneen borelli, former boston chief a police daniel a learns ski. lieutenant-general keith kellogg and attorney general mark brnovich. the white house is now in overdrive as the polls drop. now aggressively calling negative headlines about their spending or things like border issues, quote, fake. attacking scoring of their spending by the non-partisan cbo when they have gone for those

numbers in the past. downplaying inflation that its own economic team warns is serious and continuing to pressure media behind the scenes for better coverage. and, another new white house narrative. try to downplay biden's vaccine mandates after a string of court losses. we've got it. also crime hiding biden's approval numbers as even more defund the police cities to go into reverse amid a rising crime wave. things have gotten so dangerous in los angeles, for example the head of the police union there, he is now warning people, stay away. plus president biden tries to downplay the worst crisis that poisoned his poll numbers, his botched exit of afghanistan. we're going to show you the misleading words that are being used now. and to the border crisis, border czar, vice president kamala harris is now pushing the

private sector to come to the rescue but we've got the white house not clear on who exactly the vice president is talking to south of the border. thanks for joining us. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit," it starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show. you're watching the fox business network. let's get you updated on the tornado death toll. it is mounting. this happened along a 250-mile path of destruction and grief in half a dozen states. a swarm of tornadoes killed dozens. the president has approved a disaster declaration. grady trimble is on the scene with more. good to see you. reporter: liz, likewise under these circumstances though it is a tragic day here in mayfield. the entire town essentially wiped off the map by the tornado that moved through here. at least in terms of the

buildings. just about everywhere you look downtown whether it's private businesses, homes, government buildings, there is some sort of damage like this law office behind me. most buildings i would say look like this and that is not an exaggeration to say. at a nearby candle factory friday night, more than 100 employees were working the overnight shift trying to fill holiday orders and make sure that those candles were made in time for christmas. 8 people passed away there, six pe still unaccounted for. i spoke with a county commissioner who lives outside of this town, the next town over. he came in to town friday night while still lightning and thunder after the tornado moved through. he was trying to help people get out of the building. he was successfully able to about a dozen, 25 people. here is what he said as well as the ceo of that company said about what happened and what's next? >> it was just amazing that they

were still alive like they were. we had some injuries, some back injuries, and broken ankles and different things it was really amazing they were still alive. >> i can win on hundred% guarranty our company is not going anywhere. we'll be here and back quickly, quickly as possible. reporter: in edwardsville, illinois, six people were killed inside of an amazon warehouse. we have now learned osha has launched an vision. they have six months to determine whether there were any health or safety violations at that specific facility when the tornado moved through on friday night in that area. president biden is set to visit kentucky on wednesday. he will visit mayfield as well as another nearby town, dawson springs, that saw extremely severe damage as well, liz. he has said whatever these communities need they will get from the federal government. the death toll in kentucky alone tonight, 74 people killed, 109

still unaccounted for. liz? elizabeth: grady trimble thanks for your report there. it is good to see you. joining us now congressman chris stuart from house budget and fox news contributor deneen borelli. the stories this year, 2021, good to see you both. there is a big rethink on d.c. messaging, on covid-19 mandates on the border, on government tax-and-spend, also the dem push for defund the police. congressman, first to you, can you take this on? >> well look, you can remessage and fine tune your message but if your policies are just fundamentally wrong, if everything that you tried to implement is just hurting the american people then it is hard to package that in a way the american people will accept and encourage to continue. whether it's covid, whether it's the mandates people feel the heavy hand of government saying look, i'm vaccinated. i think people should be vaccinated but i don't think you should worry about your job. you shouldn't worry about your source of employment providing

for your family if you make a decision not to be vaccinated whether inflation hitting the middle class and the lower class the very most, it is the most painful thing for them. when it is afghanistan, the liz goes on as you did, liz, you began the program. you can repack the messages into something you want but can turn a pig into something it is not. elizabeth: we have breaking news, deneen. california win institute a nationwide mask mandate. supreme court upholding the new york state vaccine mandate. it has no religious exemptions. we know covid deaths deneen are hitting 800,000. vaccines and treatments are on rise. reaction to the worker shortage has some large hospital systems, tenet, hca, we won't do vaccine mandates. we need our workers of after a federal judge temporarily enjoined the mandate for health care workers. your reaction?

>> note to self for anyone, democrats don't care about the consequences of their failed policies which are harming americans across the board. people don't like being told what to do, liz, and i'm hearing it locally in my community where parents are standing up, they're pushing back. people are more vocal than they have ever been before because now these harmful policies are on their doorstep and they are harming their families. we're talking about people who cannot go to work because much these mandates. we have the, from on high the mandates trying to come down from washington. to impose upon businesses. americans are about freedom and liberty. they don't like being told what to do and we are seeing it across america. elizabeth: to deneen's point, in a new abc ipsos poll, congressman, more than testify out of 10 disapprove of the president's job on crime, gun violence, the economic recovery, 40-year high in inflation. they want to dump trillions of

dollars of more on top of a supply chain that has been locked up, it is in crisis, right? so pouring more money into a system. the polls are getting stickier for the president the more inflation gets stickier, but the white house keeps saying as the vice president did today, the biden agenda is fully paid for. it is fully paid for in terms of higher taxes, higher inflation and senator joe manchin is balking at this. what do you say. >> they are not paid for. the new score came out with a additional $3 trillion in debt. the numbers are frightening. they should frighten every american. the democrats in congress, in washington, in the last year-and-a-half have spent almost $13 trillion. that is an unfathomable at of money that debt we'll get down to our kid and grandkids.

no we're not. no way we get to the grandkids if we're spending at that kind of rate that will be in the shore term and be very painful. we can't spend that kind of money. elizabeth: deneen, former president trump, he may run again. he is saying the u.s. is weaker now. we started the year with the capitol riots. there is uproar over that. there is uproar over that power point presentation talking about how to, you know, fight back against the vote and that is going to muddy the waters. chris christie is coming on strong to be a challenger in 2024. i want to move on to this. the media narrative, deneen, we're falling apart. the consensus conversation coming out of the media and the d.c., new york d.c. beltway is falling apart. things like the border is a challenge. or things like the jussie smollett case was true or the steele dossier was true, or the china lab leak theory was false

or the russian laptop was russian disinformation. you know what i mean, deneen? people are saying wait a second, what were we being told all this time? >> well americans have been lied to, liz. and look, this mainstream media has done an absolute disservice to our country. first of all they allowed candidate biden to hide in his basement, mostly throughout the presidential campaign and now we're seeing what a train wreck he is and his administration his as well. so americans, these reporters won't be held accountable. they're harming the country and they are doing a major disservice to americans. elizabeth: congressman chris stewart, deneen borelli, thanks for joining us, that was a great conversation, come back soon okay? good to see you both. still could tom this hour, crime also hitting the president's approval ratings as more defund the police cities go into reverse amid rising crime wave. things are so worse in the l.a.

the head of the union for police there, is warning people stay away. look at this, a gunman a shooter even opened fire on hollywood's walk of fame over the weekend. up next, former white house council of economic advisors chair, he is thomas phillip son. the clock is sticking, the pressure is now on but biden's poll numbers are causing democrats to pass the rest of his costly agenda. we have the white house new aggressive media push. change the narrative in the media. call any negative headline fake. call it scoring of it, call the again today fake. we'll take it on next on "the evening edit." stay right there. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

♪. elizabeth: joining us now former white house council of economic advisors chair, he is thomas phillipson. it is great to have you on, sir. they will not get the rest of the biden agenda passed by christmas. democrat senator joe manchin was talking to the president today. he doesn't like the inflation numbers. by the way pandemics historically are deflationary. that means it is pretty bad what is happening. what do you saw to the white house pressuring the media along with five dozen liberal groups, pressure the media saying you're the reason for our problems, do better coverage of us? new "abc news poll," seven out of 10 americans say they

disapprove what the president's job, how he is handling inflation. what do you say? >> well, i think i mean during the trump administration the mainstream media, the economy was really too good for them to cover, so you heard nothing about the economy essentially even though we had wage growth for the bottom half of the population. we had income inequality, wealth inequality, falling, et cetera. now it is the biden economy, inflation is so bad you cannot cover it. they're covering it it is useful. basically inflationary problem is the triple threat created by policy entirely in some sense. we have a demand stimulus that's been taking place. ever since last summer we have shown that disposable income essentially has gone up in this recession. that has never happened before. in fact it has gone up most booms in this recession. they basically cutting supply, that is another upward pressure on prices. then you have accommodating

monetary policies. i think you know, this is a policy created inflation problem and people are starting, voters are starting to realize that. that is where you're seeing the pushback. elizabeth: so the white house not liking the new cbo score that republicans haved, you know, showing if the president's agenda was made permanent, which is historically the case what happens when you do spending on the level they want, that it is made permanent, that you would add, build back better is 4.9 trillion in cost, not 1.75 trillion. now it is sort of like who do you believe me or your lying eyes? that is what the white house is saying to the american people. they know what is going on with inflation and all of this spending. by the way, sir, let's watch the president downplay historic inflation and watch the white house press secretary here. let's take this on, watch. >> the biggest, what i want -- a third of the increase in inflation is used automobiles. so i mean, it is a real problem

but the point is that has to do with supply chains as well but it also has to do with the fact not everybody is looking for a useed automobile because they're paying higher prices because there are few are ever them. >> we've seen cost increases in some areas and a good, move in a good direction in some area as well. >> does the a administration, does the president acknowledge inflation is more entrenched and not transitory? >> kristin, i would say i can't speak obviously for jerome powell but i think part of the point here that doesn't really matter what you call it. elizabeth: yeah it does matter what you call it. fed chair, treasury secretary janet yellen warns it is not transitory, it is here to stay. you know, we've got the three obama officials, larry summers, steve rattner, right? we've got jason furman, saying inflation is warning, it is becoming more entrenched. it does matter what you call it. it is not transitory. >> well, there is a couple of issues. what really matters to people, what you see the voters are --

why we haven't responded to all the government handouts because prices are going up fast if not faster many times than the handouts. if you double income, double everything you buy, you're not really better off. people are realizing that. so even if it is transitory, that's a problem. the rent increased from 1000 a month to 2,000 a month and they kept it at 2,000. you would have inflationary rent the first month, you kept it at 2,000 there would be no inflation after that. that would be completely transitory but would certainly hurt people with $2,000 in rent. transitory versus permanent focus is misguided. what really matters how fast do the wages income go up relative to prices? right now prices are increasing far faster than people's wages, and they realize they're poorer in terms of the stuff they can buy. elizabeth: one estimate has you know on annual basis, average family expenses by one estimate, are up $4,000 over the past

year. so now you have got white house officials, five dozen liberal groups, talking to reporters, pressuring tv producers, certaining letters, get them to topspin the bad numbers. this is a level of contempt for the average american out there, that they are strong-arming the media to change the narrative, to talk differently about the biden white house and their pile of, increase the happy talk. your final word. >> i think you're seeing people are not trusting the white house messaging on economics. they're saying that you know, multitrillion dollar tax increase is a multitrillion dollar debt increases are no cost policies. so this is a white house that basically really is strifes to follow the science and not spread misinformation but in economic sphere they're doing that on a daily basis it seems. elizabeth: thomas, thanks for joining us, come back to see us. coming up florida attorney general ashley moody, the

white house with another new narrative. they're trying to downplay the president's vaccine mandates on the federal level after a string of court losses. we'll break it down next. keep it here on "the evening edit". there's a different way to treat hiv. it's once-monthly injectable cabenuva. cabenuva is the only once-a-month, complete hiv treatment for adults who are undetectable. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by a healthcare provider once a month. hiv pills aren't on my mind. i love being able to pick up and go. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems,...and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection site reactions, fever, and tiredness.

if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. with once-a-month cabenuva, i'm good to go. ask your doctor about once-monthly cabenuva.

elizabeth: welcome back, business insider reporting as the pandemic was raging ons at least 75 lawmakers bout and sold stock in companies that make covid-19 vaccines, treatments and tests.

we're talking shares of moderna, johnson & johnson and pfizer among other companies this all happening in 2020. raising ethical concerns about congressional oversight of covid policy. welcome back to the show florida attorney general ashley moody. so, you know, this happened as members of congress voted on six relief bills together that were worth nearly $6 trillion. your reaction to this story? >> you know, as a former prosecutor and judge for decades i can tell you that the issue is going to be what can be proven and the act in which it was supposed to stop trading on insider congressional knowledge, that, the question is going to be whether these trades were made using insider, non-public information or whether these trades were made with knowledge that the general public would have. so that is what those that are charged with enforcing this will be looking at and that will only time will tell. elizabeth: we hear you on that. i want to move on to this.

14 republican senators led by senators blackburn and daines, they're pushing the president to reverse the vaccine mandate for truckers crossing the northern border, crossing the border. also we've got a worker shortage in the trucking industry. also worker shortage has some of the largest u.s. hospital systems tenet, hca, advent health, cleveland clinic, according to "the wall street journal" dropping the vaccine mandates after a federal judge temporarily halted the biden mandate for those health care workers. your reaction to that story? >> i can tell you i was applauding the decisions of these employers rescinding vaccine mandates. as you know governor desantis and i in florida have been pushing back hard on this federal overreach, these unlawful mandates. there are really three areas where they're trying to force these vaccine mandates on people, whether it is using federal contractors, whether it is using hospitals that receive

medicare or medicaid, or through an osha rule and we've seen court after court enjoin these unlawful mandates and i think it is leaving the white house reeling because they know it is not lawful. elizabeth: you know the white house is nowdown shifting on the biden vaccine mandate. they are changing the narrative after four courts enjoined it. they're increasingly touting the testing part of biden's osha rule. the white house press secretary saying that osha rule is dictating not just a vaccine requirement but a testing option. we've got democrat senator chris murphy saying just basically, it does not mandate the vaccine. it is a way out of the weekly test. you see the shift and confusing wording now they're imposing on the american people on this? >> absolutely. i mean the problem with biden narratives they crash hard when faced with reality. two of these vaccine mandates, whether that is federal contractors or the cms rule,

neither of those provide a testing alternative. so that is just a bold-faced lie. as for the osha rule, you know, it is not a vaccine mandate because testing is allowed? well testing is once a week. the employee has to pay for it. we're seeing record inflation. folks are trying to put gas in their car, food on their table. last month we saw record inflation in 40 years. so they want an employee to have to pay weekly for a vaccine test or comply with a mandate. it is really no choice at all. they're going to have to comply with the mandate or lose their jobs because they will not be able to afford it in this biden economy. they want to encourage us, insure us building back better, they're building back broke and american voters are waking up to it. elizabeth: if we had a republican president, how would a republican president have handled this? >> i can talk for florida. myself, governor desantis, from the moment this president started backpedaling on the fact

that they would never impose mandates on the american people, that their office, the federal government, the federal government would not impose mandates, we said you shouldn't impose mandates. we're not even talking about whether that is a moral choice, it is not legal. the federal government cannot do that, and a republican leader would never overstep the lawful authority that is given to them, the limited scope of authority and i trust that other leaders in this nation agree with me, dem and republican alike. the federal vaccine mandates are not only unlawful, they're reprehensible to make people choose between their job and a mandate. elizabeth: again and again, it goes back to the 1905 supreme court ruling that said states have the power to do vaccine mandates, not centralized federal government. ashley moody, great to have you on. you will come back soon. we're coming at the bottom of the hour. you're watching the fox business network. still to come, the border

robbery in chicago over the weekend is blaming today that city's mayor and the cook county state's attorney. >> mayor lightfoot, i don't know her, i don't know kim fox. they're probably good people. they probably are trying to do good for their community, but they're doing bad for their community. reporter: president biden is earning low marks nationally. just 36% of americans polled by ab news and ipsos approve of the way he is handling crime. white house officials say they are trying to boost funding in areas most affected by retail theft but which raises new questions about whether or not that is a complete crime fighting strategy. >> what good does it do if you're going to give police departments extra money if they arrest bad guys and they bring them to jail and then they're not prosecuted, they're just right back out on the streets? >> i think, peter, what our focus is on making sure that the local leaders, the police

officers and departments who know what they need for these communities have the assistance and funding they need. and that is what we're working around the clock on. reporter: officials around here seem much more eager to talk about things like the build back better plan or electric vehicle charging stations but as these incidents keep popping up, they really don't have much of a choice. liz? elizabeth: peter doocy, thank you for your reporting there. good to see you. let's welcome back to the show, former boston chief of police, daniel linsky. thanks for your service to our country, daniel. your reaction to the the "abc/ipsos poll," majority, 61% of the country disapprove on the white house of the president when it comes to violence and crime but the white house answer is, put more money back towards police budgets, not really doing enough to say, hey, local prosecutors, local mayors, you're letting criminals walk free, what do you say? >> yeah. policing is not a one-stop solution. it is not just cops alone make a

difference in community safety. if you don't have prosecutors, judges, probation departments, social services health and human services all at the table working together for a common public safety strategy you're going to fail t has to come from the community with all of those resources working together, rowing in the right direction. police can't do it on their own. we can keep arresting people but if there are no consequences and no accountability we're just going to be shuffling against the tide. elizabeth: we hear you loud and clear. what is really disturbing a gunman opened fire on the hollywood walk of fame over the weekend as fans mourned the late mexican singer vincente fernandez. another tv crew, tv sports crew in oakland, california, robbed at gunpoint. we have violent crime rising in los angeles. listen to the head of the police chief, the police union in l.a. talking to tourists and warning people stay away. watch. >> we're telling people don't

visit because we don't think we can keep you safe right now. that is sad to say. there is rampant crime everywhere. in fact los angeles is like, like the move "purge" but instead of 24 hours to commit your crime, they have 365 days to commit crimes. that is how it is in los angeles and san francisco. elizabeth: whoa, have you heard that before, stay away from a police chief? >> from the police union head. he is doing what he should do, advocate for his minute and women for resources, support, issues they need to keep their community safe. that is what his role and responsibility is to do. i assume that is out of frustration having gone forward to the administration and others seeking ways they can work together with the commune, with the leadership of the department, leadership of the city to figure out a safety level that is acceptable to all. defund the police movement has shown that you know, at a time when community trust is less in

america, at a time when police are challenged more, we need to re-fund the police, invest in training, invest in programs -- elizabeth: we talked about this. it is on deaf ears. the leadership in these local, like philadelphia, for example, community members, people in philadelphia, up in arms. they're taking to the streets saying you're scarring our young. you know the shootings, this historic murder rate and crime is really hitting minority communities but like falling on deaf ears with local democrat leadership. look at the smash and grab looters. they took, of dollars in a downtown chicago smash-and-grab. retail raiders striking again and again and again. we hear you, do something but when it falls on deaf ears how do you get local leadership to stop? you can't just say, take it to the polls, vote against them. it is not working. people are getting hit now. >> well, i think people letting their voices be heard is how you change things. in boston democratic mayor for years, you look at our rates and numbers, we still have a

community policing strategy in boston. our numbers here have been load, even though we eroded trust with the community, working to build it back we had a strategy, police on federal, state, local levels, communities, all kinds of partners came to the table to come up with a community safety program that they were all invested. people have to get at the table stop talking to each other and with each other. elizabeth: daniel linsky, thanks, come back soon. up next, retired lieutenant-general keith kellogg president biden trying to downplay the worst crisis that poisoned his poll numbers, the botched withdrawal from afghanistan. we're talking about the misleading words being used. military officials think the afghan exit that could affect policy with china and russia. you're watching "the evening edit" on fox

elizabeth: president biden dismissing criticism of his botched withdrawal from afghanistan saying in an interview on sunday, that was released on sunday, that quote, no one has come up with a way to indicate to me how to withdraw without anybody getting hurt. critics though say this is about the president breaking his own promise not to leave americans behind. joining us now, former white house national security advisor, center for american security co-chair, he is back with us, he is lieutenant-general keith kellogg. okay, general what do you say? critics don't fault the president for failing to have not gotten without anybody being hurt but leaving people behind. what do you say? >> liz, thanks for having me. i think he is now realizing what a debacle it was the way he left afghanistan. he is saying nobody could tell me how to get out of there in a proper manner. we gave him a pretty good way to get it of there. the doha plan.

it was pretty good plan, january 2021, not a single american was killed. biggest problem joe biden had, and he should have have done. he should have talked to the adversary like president trump did, the chief negotiate to be, baradar. this is what we'll de. we'll hold in place, going through the doha agreement. he didn't do that. i think there was a real flaw in leadership. president trump used to do that all the time. he would call vladmir putin 18 different times. talked to him about forest fires in siberia. talked to him about covid. when russian forces tried to attack american forces in syria. biden doesn't do that. he leaves that to function shunaries or the nsa or secretary of state. he should pick up the phone and call them. he is casting blame. the real blame is joe biden, he

is commander-in-chief. he is the leader of nation and he didn't do it. elizabeth: he ripped up what the trump white house was doing, right and doing topspin and rhetoric to gloss it over to paint a pretty picture. president biden told abc news george stephanopoulos in august, if there are american citizens left behind we'll stay to get them out. that didn't happen. retired general william boykin what is really troublesome and frightening almost, we have a commander-in-chief who doesn't uphold the longstanding military ethos, don't leave any american behind? >> that is stunning. general boykin and i, we have known each other a lot of years. that is the first thing you do, you get out the americans, get out your people before you withdraw your forces. that sends a really bad message to allies and other messages to adversaries as well. it basically says to everybody, we can't really trust this president. he will not make good on his word. i think that happens going forward. adversaries see this. we were always very aware of

that. i used to remind the vice president, president both, you have to look through the lens of the adversary. all he is trying to do, or try to understand what he is trying to do. they know what they're doing. biden ignored that. he is trying to cast blame in all the wrong place. it is behind the resolute desk in the oval office. he ownses all the problems. elizabeth: you say the post-withdrawal is worst in afghanistan and worse than the post-withdrawal situation in iraq. that is where ice is emerged. there is complete not owning a mistake. that is what people see. paint everything a a success, a drone strike that was a success that killed 10 civilians including seven children. 13 troops hit by suicide bombers. then you know, pullout, it is an integral part of warfare training. even undergraduate service academies treat the right way to do it. secure the egress routes.

then the support personnel, right? >> right. well, look here is what joe biden hopes, a lot of people in the administration hope. they hope they will walk by the graveyard and nobody will notice. they are hoping immigration will go away. they are hoping inflation will go away. they are hoping afghanistan will go away. they hope ukraine issues will go away. they're not. they will be on his plate. you have to handle the crisis situations all of the time in the white house. you have to be ready for them. you have to have a very agile and very good and talented national security team but most importantly, you have to have a commander-in-chief, a guy who sits in the oval have a lot of confidence what he can do, trust his advisors to give him good ad sighs. follow through with that advice. he is not doing it. elizabeth: general keith dealt log. thanks for your service to our country. come back soon. arizona attorney general mark brnovich on the border crisis. kamala harris pushing private

sector companies to come to the rescue. the white house is not clear who the vice president is talking to south of the border. the vice president potentially is moving on getting more companies involved. keep it here on "the evening edit". ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ experience the power of sanctuary at the lincoln wish list event.

joining us now, arizona attorney mark brnovich, have you back on. your reaction to the vice president reportedly talking to ceos from companies like microsoft? to invest more than $1.2 billion in central america to stop illegal immigration, will that work? what do you think? >> absolutely it will not work. it shouldn't surprise anyone the biden administration cares more about central america and middle america and is, you know they're trying to socialize our economy so it shouldn't surprise anyone are trying to basically draft corporations to subsidize or send money to central america. it's a terrible idea especially with catastrophes at our southern border to allow the cartel and operation cartel it is a problem kamala harris can't laugh away. >> the white house press secretary jen psaki is accused of avoiding answering why the

high-pressure vice president didn't speak to the leader of guatemala since june. white house massing don't listen to the story, it's not true. also we have it on tape president guatemala saying that. the press secretary is unable to say if kamala harris has been in contact with mexico. the vice president met with him three weeks ago and in june. >> if the administration reaching out to central america this morning, because for reevaluation of the strategy to deter migrants? >> it would they come through kind of outreach so i would tell you to go to them about that. i can check and see but i suspect that would happen at the moment of secretary security. >> i think there's an old expression opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference and the biden administration has

shown a lack of indifference to trying to solve the poor catastrophe which they created. you know we've talked about this, we seen a record amount of functional flooding and to the country. we saw report the dea is reporting 26% of the functional right now, a fatal dose so this will have a devastating impact cost of human lives devastating cost on economic for several social costs associated. millions of people will flood into the border illegally just this year end the biden administration is doing nothing. talking to central america or to local law enforcement were we've invited vice president harris and secretary mayorkas to meet with us, while other law enforcement to address this and they've essentially told us to pound the sand and it breaks my heart at present biden and vice president harris the u.s. senate like cartel kelly cares more

about transferring wealth to central america and helping american taxpayers. >> the center for immigration studies say they recently got data from border and customs enforcement showing interior deportation fell by 90% the president's first five months in office. it looks like 67000 illegal immigrants were deported, 62000 versus 267,000, 62000 was for the first five months of his fine term in office. 253 thousand supported in not 19 at about 8159 room mother and her 22-year-old daughter killed in a car crash after human smuggling smashed into their car while helping have dozen illegal immigrants fully border crops. all are now in custody, when

will this stop? >> it's got to stop right away that's right meet some of my colleagues filed lawsuits against the biden administration and the biden administration is playing games. sometimes we talk about numbers and families of people crossing illegally but there are 1.2 many people in the country right now with deportation orders, they prompted the process and told they have to be deported yet the biden administration refuses so as a result, you have people released from prison and jail accused or convicted of terrible crimes like rape, arson, murder released into the community to the biden administration is setting the stage not only for functional coming in to our country and methamphetamine coming in but they are setting away for massive crime wave and we are seeing the effects in the inner cities with liberals who want it force existing loss is not only a problem for tomorrow but generational problems. >> are you doing more to build a border while in arizona? we know with yuma so you are

doing that? >> we have a lawsuit trying to force the biden administration to build it and bitterly there's a wall down there, paying millions to not build the wall. >> visio, you've been watching the evening editing on foxbusiness, thank you for watching. join us again tomorrow night. ♪♪ kennedy: 250-mile long path of destruction, entire towns and communities destroyed. dozens of people are dead, hundreds injured and tens of thousand without heat, power or running water right before christmas but amid heartache and terror, wears hearing stories of survival and hope. friday night tornado cluster across five states without from three more. very rare for december and happen to the middle of the night which means many got little or no warning. when the sun came up
