♪. elizabeth: okay. president biden getting criticized for being pretty downbeat again today. a new poll shows even more historic disapproval of his handling of the pandemic and the economy and the president today warned of a covid surge but we've known about that for months. he also admitted frustration with testing shortages after he announced his testing and vaccine mandate way back in august. he attacked trump on that way back in 2020, waited months to ramp it up. he is doubling purchases of pfizer's anti-viral pill this,

is what is going on too, this is the backstory, the end could be in sight. health authorities in hong kong, japan, europe, they now say the world could soon turn a corner on the pandemic to get back to normal. joining us tonight, congressman drew ferguson, larry buchan, federalist senior editor chris bedford, former boston chief of police daniel linsky around fox news contributor deneen borelli and border patrol president, brandon judd. pushback against vaccine mandates. the judge blocked pentagon forcing vaccine mandates on troops. another federal judge blocked biden vaccine mandates for the head start program in two dozen states. that judge blocking mask mandates for children. all of this happening ahead of friday's big hearing in the supreme court. we'll look at where this all could be heading. this story for you, reports of

the democrat party is on the verge of civil war as nancy pelosi is expected to retire after the midterms. the far left pressuring biden, don't run again saying quote, you're one and done. we look at the future after fractured, divided democrat party. is this about keeping your friends close but your enemies closer? this story, can we now ring the bell on the end of the defund police era as more cities are ramp up spending on cops? also crime and high taxes igniting a steady stream of voters leaving democrat-run states. and, going to get you updated on the border crisis. look at this senator ted cruz is now saying republicans will move to impeach biden over the border collapse if they win back control of congress. we'll break down, what is the crime and misdemeanor for that standard? and border patrol agents again, they were shot at again from across the border with mexico. so where is the urgency to protect our southern border?

i'm elizabeth macdonald. thanks for joining us. "the evening edit," it starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show, you're watching the fox business network. the president facing renewed scrutiny. 55% disapprove of him on the pandemic in a new cnbc change research poll. 60% disapprove of him on the economy. the u.s. did report a record number of new covid cases. over one million new infections in just one day. now edward lawrence has more from washington. edward. reporter: liz, president joe biden says he understands the frustration as we're three years into this pandemic. a senior administration official is telling fox news the administration moved up the delivery of 10 million pfizer pills for the therapeutic side of this from september to june. the president also announced that he will double that order.

now we herd about the 500 million tests that the president says he wants to give americans starting early this month to test for covid-19. he is using the defense production act and actually directing people to google to find free state testing sites. >> many states and local governments and health care providers are passing out free at-home tests that you can pick up. just find out where they are and finally as i announced recently the federal government is launching a website this month where you can get tests shipped to your home for free upon your request. reporter: three years in and $73 billion allocated for testing republicans are asking where are the tests? former u.s. surgeon general is saying that the cdc left the testing requirement off the guidance because he believes they wanted to save embarassment. >> you should get a rapid test if you can. the problem is that the administration has not yet delivered the rapid tests.

they didn't want to put out a policy telling you to do something which reflected blame back on them. reporter: anthony fauci says that is now something they're talking about. elizabeth: edward lawrence thank you for your reporting there. joining us congressman drew ferguson from the house gop doctors caucus along with dr. amesh adalja, senior scholar johns hopkins center of health security. great to have you both on. first to you, congressman, the president today, people are worried, he indicated he didn't know what year it was. he says quote, there is a lot of reasons you can be hopeful in 2020, said quote, you can control how big of an impact omicron will have on your health so there was that, right? people are looking for leadership and for inspiring messages. what did you think ever the president's address today? >> the word that comes to mind is incompetence. the president and his administration are a day late and a dollar short on this

response. i think it is ridiculous that they passed a trillion dollar spending bill earlier last year and only 9% of it went to covid. they spent the rest of it on stuff not related to public health. i think it is showing up right now. one of the reasons i voted against that bill we knew that this is exactly what would happen is it would fall short of meeting the needs of americans. the president can't make up his mind is there a federal response, is there not a federal response? he says the states ought to, ought to lead on this, which i do agree with. i don't think that there is a state in the nation that is doing a better job than our state here in georgia led by government kemp. elizabeth: got a plug in there. we hear but the spending too, interesting point you made about the 9% figure, congressman. doctor, where do you come down on this? because we have health authorities, doctor, in hong kong, japan and europe now saying peak covid could be coming soon.

danish authorities saying the omicron variant could bring about a end to the pandemic. we'll have a our normal lives back in two months where do you come down on that? >> i think it is too early to know but there are encouraging signs in other countries. omicron has a different cycle, peaks in a couple weeks, leaves a lot of immunity in its wake and something less severe. the key thing is getting through the acute phase, making sure hospitals under stress from delta patients don't go over the edge f we get through that by getting people vaccinated. getting antivirals, monoclonal antibodies, diagnostic tests to people, i think we'll be in a better place as we get through the omicron surge. we'll know in the next couple of days to about a week where this trajectory is going to go with omicron. lauren: so what the doctor is saying we need more treatments, right? the president is saying he will double the purchases of pfizer's antiviral oral pill. but, congressman, you can't have

a million new infections per day forever. another study out of hong kong matching one out of south africa that omicron can provide immunity against other variants like the delta variant. wall street setting records thinking that peak is close. what do you think? >> we think we're close to the peak on the latest variant, the president will try to deliver everything that will fight the variant but it will be too late. so the natural immunity that will occur with this is going to provide, is going to provide immunity for so many millions of americans. it is time to get back to work. kids need to go back to school. teachers need to get back to school. americans need to get back to work. we're going to have to learn to live with this, we have to focus on the therapeutics. meantime, encourage people to get vaccinated, get their boosters. it does have a profound effect on the illness. may not prevent you from getting it but prevent you going into

the hospital. elizabeth: yeah. a lot of these hospital workers, doctor, are suffering from ptsd. we really feel for them and what they're enduring. we do have a silver lining in a string of new studies coming out, doctor, the number of severe cases in hospital patients from omicron have not risen of the w.h.o. is saying seeing more and more studies of that. a lot of people are talking about the 1918 flu epidemic, it turned inden mick in 1919, drop the in cases in two years. is this how pandemics go strong for two years and flame out? we saw that with the asian flu pandemic. >> this population has effect with people with no immunity t can be deadly first year or so. afterwards, some people die, some people have immunity and get vaccines and therapeutics so it becomes tamer and more manageable like other respiratory viruses we deal in

year in, year out. that is where we're going with this virus. it is taking a little bit longer and many people didn't get vaccinated and still causing problems in hospitals. the transition to me pandemic to endemic we're not worried about hospital capacity in any of 50 states. some states transitioned toward more endemic version because their -- [inaudible] elizabeth: that is a good point, right, congressman what the doctor just said right? wee have to live with it like we're living with aids. unfortunately that is what we're under right now. it is about therapeutics. you're both making an important point. governor desantis is saying the white house rationing monoclonal antibodies treatments. white house says no, we're not. we need to be fair to other states. we're not doing a stranglehold on antibody treatments. i would like your reaction to this. watch. >> with with the monocolonials

is leading to people dying. we saw when we put in our sites leeding with the delta wave, we kept tens of thousands of people out of the hospital. we saved thousands of lives by providing that treatment. so that should been replicated in all these other states but instead what biden and his cronies have done, they have seized control of all the monoclonal antibodies, so yes when we were in the pinch i bought them myself. none of the governors are able to do that because the feds seized control. we're in a situation where we asked for 40,000 more every week because i have people that i could help and they are holding on to it and they're not distributing it. elizabeth: but the white house says it is giving them out to all the states, need to hold on to the stockpile to be fair to all the states. what are you hearing, congressman? >> listen, why hold on to the stockpile? get it to the americans that need it, our most vulnerable ones that need to be protected. the biden administration has no right to pick and choose winners and losers in life. this is not right.

they have got to stop this, release the treatments to the states that need it the most. quick playing politics with americans lives. elizabeth: congressman drew ferguson, dr. amesh adalja, good to have you both on. smart conversation there. grateful for that. good to see you both. still to come this hour, can we ring the bell on the end of the botched defund the police era, one of the worst things this country ever endured? more cities are ramping up spending on cops after cutting police budgets. high taxes, crime, igniting a steady stream of voters leaving democrat run states. up next "the federalist" chris bedford. reports the democrat party on the verge of civil war. nancy pelosi expected to retire after the midterms. the far left is pressuring biden, don't run again, we want a progressive on the ticket. he is saying, they are saying one and done.

again today saying there have been zero, no talks on the biden agenda. there are no negotiations going on. he says you need a majority for some of the stuff but talks are not there. we have reports out of "politico" and "washington post" the democrat party is on the verge of civil war as nancy pelosi expects to retire from the midterms. who will lead the party in the house after she leaves? >> i mean there are rumors, good to see you too, happy new year. there are rumors that hakeem jeffries is the front-runner but it is really unsure. right now the democrats are coming out of a transit it seems on this, there is a constant push in media to pretend nancy pelosi 2.0 has been a successful mission. it has not been successful. it has been largely disaster legislatively for the democratic party. they have not accomplish what they want. they pushed for a rather serious agenda given the slim majority in the senate, it has not gone

well and a lot of fingerpoints. pelosi has taken side along with president joe biden with the hard left of the democratic party, playing pattycake with them unlike joe manchin. there is lot of anger against pelosi and a lot of anger against their allies. they sense there is coming electoral catastrophe for them with president joe biden with the midterms and they want to blame each other very badly. elizabeth: bobby rush is leaving the house. two dozen democrats are leaving. pew research saying this is one of the worst congresses since 1987. it ranks fourth from the bottom. right down there, a little over three dozen, not even pieces of legislation passed, chris. the real backstory to what is going on in the trump era was the collapse of the democrat party under nancy pelosi. economist magazine ran a piece saying enough already, nancy.

she built a she rot tick pay trohage system. no term limits for democrats that run committees. term limits for republicans that run committees. "politico" says biden you're one and done. biden is old, unpopular, ineffective. probably gets demolished in the midterms. they started out the year with hat and horns and champagne and now this. >> you're right on this. underreported story of collapse of democratic party. mad to do with barack obama focused democratic power under him, siphoned away from the party machine. at same time pull ad more radical coalition they previously had, rejecting labor aspects, some working class aspects. schumer, pelosi were unable because they lack that charisma to hold the party together and they're suffering.

joe biden has done his best so far, not a very good job, trying to back the bernie sanders style agenda he is being criticized for right now. this party he came out of the democratic party in was a pretty radical party. candidates going to the far left. everyone side joe biden will the guy that will hold this together. someone who can be a peacemaker between the moderates and hard left of democratic party. turns out like you said, he is too hold. he may have been able to hide during the campaign. he can't hide when he is trying to govern. elizabeth: it is hard to unite this. he is not president, she is not house speaker of the progressive party. it is for the country as a whole, right? it is middle america too. chris, i want your reaction to this. now democrats want to get rid of the filibuster. they want, the filibuster worked when senator joe biden, schumer, durbin used it when it was their own advantage. they need 10 republicans to push through legislation. let's watch senator chuck

schumer on this. watch this. >> we do have to worry. we have to keep pushing but when senators go to them say i will lose my election unless we do something about voting rights, when senators come to them and say we will not have a democracy anymore, not just for two years but for 10 years around constant senators of all different stripes including some of our most moderate senators, we have a group of three senators constantly talking to them, angus king, jon tester, and senator from virginia as well, saying to them, we were not for changing the rules but we changed our mind. too much is at stake. it's a constant, constant discussion. we'll keep going until we succeed. elizabeth: all right. he just forgot the name of senator tim kaine. he said the quiet part out loud. his inare voice was speaking that they want vote reform in

order to win, keep winning elections. listen to senator schumer in 2005. watch this. >> they want, because they can't get their way on every judge, to change the rules in midstream. to wash away 200 years of history. they want to make this country into a banana republic where if you don't get your way, you change the rules. are we going to let them? >> no. >> it will be a doomsday for democracy if we do. elizabeth: all right. are they now trying to turn america into a banana republic? >> there are so many doomsdays for democracies when you're talking to politics in d.c. usually what that means, what that is code for i'm not getting my way right now when i want it. now the funny thing is, they might have a little bit of trouble here getting rid of the filibuster but they're throwing a bit of a temer per tantrum.

they could be on precipice of passing one of the most aggressive democratic agendas we've seen in 50 years since fdr. try to remake the relationship between the d.c. and sit entry. the reason they wouldn't do, have a compromise with senator joe manchin. the hard thing the democrat party is finding out right now you can't fundamentally remake america all the time with such a thin majority. you do need to come to the table and compromise. they will have a lot better chance of doing that in the coming year. as we get closer to the midterms even that is drying up. elizabeth: but you have house democrat eric swalwell saying 2022 will be the end of u.s. elections as we know it if democrats don't get their way. chris bedford that is what is going on. great to get update from you and what is happening from d.c. i like the christmas tree in the background. i like the star shining back there. good stuff. come back soon. the fallout of the manhattan

issues. the dod decision on vaccines i think comes down to them denying exemptions to the vaccine which they do for all of their other vaccines. i think, that is where the rub comes. if you join the military, i was a navy reservist, there is plethora of vaccinations you're required to get and i understand why they have added the covid vaccine but i think the big issue here is, they're just denying everyone religious exemption or medical exemptions to the vaccine which i think is where the problem lies. elizabeth: so 80 troops have died from covid-19 the pentagon is concerned about soldiers infecting each other but the federal judge ruled in favor of 35 navy sailors. they on religious grounds said they should not have to take a vaccine made out of feet tall aborted fetal stem cell lines. the judge said this is

constitutional first amendment issue. how will this shape issues going forward? >> i think the judge was correct as i mentioned before. if you look for a religious exemption based on religious beliefs is valid. in this case vaccines were developed from fetal cell lines decades old and really thousands of cells lines have been developed from those over the years but it's a legitimate concern that some people have, staunch religious objections to that. i think the judge is correct. i think the dod needs to reconsider these exemptions because i think on constitutional grounds that the judge is correct. elizabeth: okay. let's move on this big one. another federal judge agreed with two dozen states, ruled in their favor, he blocked biden's vaccine mandate for the head start school program in 24 states. also said no to masks for children age 2 and up. "new york times" even running

now a story children are really suffering being kept out of school and remote learning. they're seeing health problems with our children, including suicides among young teenage girls. this pandemic is really hitting our kids hard. your reaction to the victory of these two dozen states who are winning in the head start program, no vaccine mandate for the head start program what do you say to that? >> well, again i think that's correct. again the head start is obviously a government-funded agency, that said, it is essentially different head starts around the country which are mainly the private sector and also if you look at the data on children, you know, it is just ridiculous to mandate vaccination for young children when the data just doesn't necessarily bear out the fact that they get severe disease and actually necessarily require vaccination in the first place. so i think again, this is another government overreach. i think the judge again is correct, ruling for the states that you should not have a

federal mandate in these programs. especially for young children because their parents can make these decisions for them. they are young children. elizabeth: got it. >> takes away the parental rights. elizabeth: congressman buschon, we want to thank you for joining us on the show. we want to wish our very best to pentagon chief lloyd austin. the general has come down with covid-19. okay, we're moving on to this, the fallout of the manhattan d.a. closing down a probe into former governor andrew cuomo over nursing home deaths. he is not in the clear though. what is still to come? also this, an albany d.a. declines to prosecute cuomo for sexual misconduct allegations. he is not in the clear there either. up next former boston chief of police daniel linsky. can we ring the bell on the end of the botched defund the police era, one of the worst polly moves ever made in this country? more cities are ramping up

officers have left and a lot of knowledge has gone out the door. we're having a hard time recruiting cops. the cops that remain -- elizabeth: so that's the problem, right? finish your thought. >> not only that but the cuts that were made, like seattle, for example was trying to get police officers for years having diverse police force that represented community. they went out, did recruiting. finally hired 500 plus cops who reflected the community. new brains, new minds, new knowledge. it was great. when they want to defund the seattle police department are not getting rid of 32 veterans. they're getting new police officers they invested millions of dollars to try to recruit and get on board. we were losing all the hard work dedication and commissioner o'toole and commissioner best had done to try and you know, change the police department. so we actually saw a reduction in good efforts going forward that was taken away with some of

the reduction in -- in these events. elizabeth: so you know, here is the other thing too, daniel, that is happening, more votessers, more and more people are leaving california, illinois and new york because of the high crime and regulatory and tax structure. here is the other thing, why not the victim first, why not americans first, why not taxpayers first? why criminals first? a story coming out of texas, criminal suspects released on multiple felony bonds in harris county, that is home to houston, those criminals killed nearly 160 people since 2018. 113 defendants charged with capital murder released on bond. these individuals going out to kill more people this, is how insane the strategy was. >> because the whole defund the police movement threw away a lot of excellent police work and

police officers every day with the policies and procedures that need to be addressed. you know for years law enforcement has been working to identify violent offenders, try not to spend their resources on non-violent offenders people with low level, trying to do diversion programs. that is nothing new. they put it on steroid with defund the police where we're letting everyone out on bail. we have a bail project in massachusetts, they were bailing level 3 child sex offenders on child rape charges because they didn't want anyone held on bail. that will not help keep the community safe. there are certain individuals who need the police's attention, need the prosecutor's attention, there will be joint effort between state, federal and local. who can take this person away from the area where they cause harm if they're proving themselves to be violent for the longest time? those discussions used to occur. hopefully they occur with federal prosecutors working with state prosecutors to hold people accountable. if we don't have that communities suffer. elizabeth: let's watch the mayor of new york, eric adams on this.

watch this. >> i am not one of the defund is. if you go throughout the city that is not what i heard on the ground. in fact i was clear in my message when i was campaigning and people elected me based on a message of public safety, properly utilizing our police department the, making sure that we invest in long-term things how to keep our cities safe. intervention and prevention. elizabeth: yeah, i mean he is bringing back the plainclothes anticrime police units that de blasio disbanded. talked about possibly bringing backstop and frisk. shootings in new york city have skyrocketed. is this going to work? can he get it done? >> i think he can. he comes with experience that many elected officials don't have. if you're making decisions about police and resources do a couple ride alongs in the cruisers. go to the academy see how and why they're trained and make

informed decisions when you use years of experience that many veteran police officers bring to the table what works and what doesn't. elizabeth: got it. daniel linskey, thank you for your service to our country. still to come, the border crisis. senator ted cruz says that republicans will move time peach president biden over the collapse of the border if they win back congress. as the white house continues the court fight against trump's remain in mexico process. up next, deneen borelli, she will take out on the fallout over the manhattan d.a. over governor andrew cuomo nursing home deaths tied to his executives orders. putting patients back n he is not in the clear. a albany d.a. declined to prosecute cuomo over sexual allegations. he is not in the clear hon that either. keep it here on the

elizabeth: manhattan d.a. office closed nursing home death of andrew cuomo without filing charges, according to cuomo's attorney. we have fox news contributor deneen borelli. let's break this down. he is still under federal investigation at the doj and fbi. where does this go? >> well, we're talking about the feds under president biden, so i wouldn't hold my breath on that one, liz, but that is just me. but look we're talking three new york county d.a.s, manhattan d.a. that closed down the nursing home death probe which by the way there was evidence of fraud with the numbers of deaths being changed in reports. what is it with the d.a.s and cuomo? it is one big club, liz and they are circling the wagons for sure. that is what is going on here. elizabeth: you're right.

the state data suggests that 15,000 died in nursing homes. that is 6,000 more than the cuomo administration initially reported. the biden administration is moving to drop cases against other governors related to the nursing home issue. you know, and so, you wonder if there is politics at play here with governor cuomo. but he is odd man out. he is not accepted in the democrat party right now. >> well, that is because he is kryptonite right now, liz. he used to be very powerful as the governor and again, that is why i'm saying they're circling the wagons. perhaps he will ce back in another role. who knows, people are afraid of retribution but where is the accountability? he had, he had vulnerable elderly in a horrible position in the nursing home facilities in the age of covid. he did not protect them. and so where is the accountability with cuomo? it is like he is going to get

off scot-free. we'll see. they're saying, they're going to continue investigations but i will believe it when i see it. elizabeth: you know also got millions of dollars in campaign donations from the hospital lobby group. that is a powerful new york health care industry group. you know, he signs the legislation giving executives at hospitals and nursing homes immunity from any lawsuits stemming from the pandemic. then ordered patients back in right? so that is a revenue stream for those facilities. i want to move on to this. manhattan attorneys and also the oswego county attorneys are continuing to look into his, the allegations of sexual assault against former governor cuomo. the albany county d.a.'s office decided not to continue with charges. westchester and nassau dropped it too. where does that lead? >> i want to see where are the feminine voices pushing the

whole "me too" movement, where are their voices right now any didn't see much about that in the news today with the news of cuomo and these charges being dropped against him. but the media is very selective as well. the media did not want to talk about the nursing home deaths but they were all in pushing with the sexual assault harrassment allegations because i think they were just trying to play, to deflect from the other probes that were going on and accusations under cuomo. elizabeth: yeah. because you know, they're both toxic, deneen. that is an important point you just made. they're both really politically dangerous, a third rail for both of those cases. we'll continue to pursue with you, deneen borelli. always great to have you on. happy new year to you. come back soon. up next national border patrol council president brandon judd on the border crisis. senator ted cruz is saying republicans will move to impeach president biden over the border

joining us in our national border patrol council, he is the president of the council, brandon, great to have you back on. we do hit of stories texas senator ted cruz is a republican will likely present biden over the border collapse if they went back to house majority? >> i did hear about it and i look at this and ask myself, was there a crime committed by president biden? i think there is a case that can be made that says aiding and abetting criminal cartel completing the smuggling cycle. if you look at the policies in place right now when we release people, people cross illegally and cartel bring them across the border and we take them into custody and release them into the u.s. which is their ultimate

goal -- you could argue it aiding and abetting and then you have to look at specific situation when a 24-year-old claimed to be 17 years old and was released by health and human services to florida and he ended up murdering his foster father who was the father of four so you can make arguments crimes have been committed by people released because of the biden policies so it's possible, definitely potential it could happen. liz: senator cruz is saying is the high crime and misdemeanor rounds, a violation of article two of the constitution where he swore an oath to faithfully execute the laws of the united states swore an oath to defend the constitution and the american people, but what senator cruz. >> i think there are potentially multiple grounds to consider for impeachment, probably the most

compelling is the lawlessness of president biden's refusal to enforce the in his decision to defy federal immigration laws that allow too many people, unimpeded and direct contravention of his obligation under article two of the constitution to take care laws be faithfully executed, probably the strongest grounds right now for impeachment but there may be others. kennedy: so there may be others, brandon, he's saying democrats used as another tool in the partisan chest, there's a risk of this being picked or cap what senator's saying this isn't about weapon icing impeachment, it's about crimes and misdemeanors, what shall the imagery of the border patrol agent who was shot at from mexico new year's day and the rio grande texas center region by truck or human smuggling

cartel, images of the government car shot with bullet holes. where's the president and vice president and where is mayorkas' on this? >> he's missing in action and you go back to what senator cruz said, we have to recognize this is a brilliant prosecutor, an attorney by trade, is argued before the supreme court and when he says there's potential charges, he would know what he's talking about. if you look at this particular case in texas where the agent was shot at, this is a known problem area, this area texas dps already shot at in this area. the area is notorious for bringing drugs across the board get we had minimal agents in the area. again, dereliction of duty by the president of the united states because he continues to release people into the u.s. encouraging more people to come from affect going back to what

temperature senator ted cruz says and that's the grounds. he look at this notorious area, you'd think we have multiple agent their patrolling the border to protect u.s. citizens from the dangerous fentanyl coming into the united states and we are not. if it wasn't for texas dps, the area would be wide open. liz: completely and totally wide open and you and i have been talking about this, under the biden white house, we see individuals trying to come in to the country from 150 nations around the world including china, pakistan, asia and the middle east so we are seeing that but the white house is still fighting against trumps remain the mexico policy, it will provide legal services for those wanting to claim a silent but nine out of ten of those cases knocked out, you can't come for economic reasons, your final word on that? >> let's be clear, they are not

reimplemented the protocols. look at el paso and rolling about 30 people a day, they are slow walking from not doing what they need to from not doing what they need to to protect the country. liz: thanks for your service to our country, come back soon. you've been watching for evening edit on foxbusiness, thank you so much for watching, we hope you have a good evening and join us again tomorrow night. ♪♪ kennedy: malarkey with nonsense in his covid speech today and drop quite a few sticky pieces. first, the big lie. >> let me be absolutely clear. we have hand all the vaccines we need to get every american fully vaccinated including booster shot, this continues to be pandemic of the unvaccinated so we've got to make more progress.
