where thousands have been killed. i'm elizabeth macdonald. the eveninged did, it starts right now. -- evening edit. ♪ elizabeth: welcome to the show, you're watching the fox business network. joining us now senator todd young from senate foreign relations gop strategist ford o'connell. president biden blasting georgia's vote reform today, demanding the senate get rid of the filibuster to demand federal take over the state elections. critics say the president, congressman, democrats like pelosi try to get their agenda passed hooking everything to the january 6th capitol riots. is that what you're hearing? >> liz, thanks for having me. liz, thanks so much for having me on. i think it's shameful, embarrassing and sick, frankly we have a number of prominent democrats including the president of the united states

who are trying to exploit the tragedy of january 6 for political gain, trying to exploit that tragedy and trying to create a false impression there is a need for election reform. if we're really taking election reform seriously we would try to reform the electoral count act which is the act that enable the vice president of the united states to count those ballots. it needs to be reformed. it is unclear in terms of its text. there is a bipartisan effort already underway here in the united states senate to try and develop those reforms but that is not what senator schumer, majority leader or the president want. instead they want to create an impression we need to legalize ballot harvesting. we need to overturn state voter i.d. laws. we need to provide the taxpayer funding of federal elections. this is nonsense, completely not a priority of the american people. elizabeth: you know, to what the senator is saying, ford, like

you to take a listen to what the president had to say earlier, watch this. >> they want chaos to reign. they want the people to rule. let me be clear. this is not about me or vice president harris or our party. it is about all of us. it is about the people. it is about america. today, making it clear to protect our democracy, i support changing the senate rules, whichever way they need to be changed to prevent minority of senators from blocking action on voting rights. [applause] elizabeth: let's show the viewer what the georgia vote law did. everything you heard about it is wrong. ford, your thoughts what the president is saying? >> well he has been, senator is absolutely right. he is pedaling at false narrative. they're looking at polls. they know they will get creamed

in the 2022 midterms. they're shamelessly trying to change election laws to stay in power. they want to force california, new york city style elections on all 50 states. to your point, liz, everything he said about the georgia law is absolutely wrong. what georgia did they made it easier to vote, harder to cheat. in fact in 2021 there was a municipal election in georgia. even a newspaper in atlanta had to admit there was nobody restricted from voting. it didn't result in any voter suppression. this is a false narrative because the democrats want to push voter suppression, talk up january 6 just so they change rules, distorting legacy of martin luther king. it is totally shameful as the senator said. >> liz -- elizabeth: go ahead, senator. >> yeah, liz, i could add, i want to associate myself with what ford said but the way that president of the united states and democrats are trying to pass this is by eliminating the 60-vote threshold, the

legislative filibuster in the u.s. senate. that would entirely change how our government works. the u.s. understand is the only significant legislative body in the world that takes democratic minority rights seriously. i want to make sure when you have the slimmest of majorities, in this case you have a vice president that can break a tie, they're not making major legislative changes. it is a forcing mechanism so we can focus together on the things that the american people really care about. right now that is border security. that is ensuring there is enough stuff on the shelves when you shop. taking care of inflation concerns people have. instead the only way they ram through this unpopular scheme is by changing the rules of the united states senate. elizabeth: well you know, to the senator's point, ford, are they shooting their feet off? they're about to lose congress. now they will have no filibuster democrats, would have no filibuster if they get their way. right?

republicans are saying, all right, bring it on. we'll fast track, you know, bringing back the keystone pipeline. we'll fast track border security policies. we're going to fast track you know, fracking and more. that is their wish-list if they get rid of the filibuster. okay, do it. >> absolutely right, emac. what is good for the goose and good for the gander. what democrats don't understand the pandora's box they opened up. what joe manchin and krysten sinema and others on the democratic side what is truly at stake here. unfortunately joe biden and many of the democrats who serve in the senate used to defend vigorously the senate filibuster. why do they want to change the rules now? because they're in power. they're frustrated. when they were in the minority they wanted to protect it at all costs so much so senator schumer said if you get rid of filibuster 2 will be doomsday

for democracy and turn america into a banana republic. elizabeth: we hear you, ford. gop senator cramer points out democrat hypocrisy. wants legislation if state forces to show vaccination status and i.d., that same state should force to show i.d. when they go to vote. majority of the americans when polled yeah, you should show your i.d., right? if you have to show i.d. to get health care in a doctor's office. why not show it when you vote? listen to maxine waters on this issue. she is still claiming the georgia vote law is racist. watch this. >> well you know i think the republicans are certainly led by people who do not want us to participate in this democracy. they do not want us to have voting rights because it gives us influence, it give us power puts us at table so we can be advocates for the least of these. this is not something that they

have any real issues about relative to how the system is working, whether it is this, that or the other. this is about racism. this is about exclusion. this is about not wanting us to be able to participate in the policies that govern this country. >> yeah. listen. liz, every maxine waters speech sounds the same. elizabeth: senator, right have you ever seen any voter, have they put forward any voter who was denied the privilege of voting? have they ever done that? >> no, i don't believe so, no. otherwise maxine waters would have invited those people to her press conference, who her speech. instead she continues to sell platitudes and vague charges of republican racism when in fact, when in fact, what we're trying to do here is work together in

the interests of the american people. it is the democrats who want to federalize our elections and continue to push left-wing irresponsible policies in a partisan fashion. elizabeth: you know, ford, maybe the way to go is, congress should say, you know what? we'll ramp up penalties for voter fraud and then ford, maybe should write down those people who you know, voted against that, right? see what really is at stake, who really cares about voter integrity. ford, final word? >> that is exactly right, we should be focused on voter integrity to make sure people that vote are eligible to vote. that foreign citizens are not voting in u.s. elections as they soon will be in new york city. if maxine waters is so hacked off on biden's delaware, the most restrictive voting in the country. elizabeth: we hear you loud and clear. this, this whole debate, senator todd young and ford o'connell, it has been so distorted by cnn

and msnbc. no push back against pundits making claims of racism, not getting to the facts what these laws are doing. great to have you both on again soon. still to come, washington has insider stock trading problem. third federal reserve official steps down. even fellow democrats are turning on nancy pelosi saying stop your husband's stock trading while you are on the job. you've got conflicts of interest. timing of trades now scrutinized. we have the story coming up. stay right there. what are you recommending for muscle pain? based on clinical data, i recommend salonpas. agreed...my patients like these patches because they work for up to 12 hours, even on moderate pain.

elizabeth: joining us now from the house gop doctor's caucus, dr. greg murphy. i want you to listen to this. another explosive hearing on capitol hill involving fireworks with dr. fauci. watch this. >> dr. fauci, do you really think it is appropriate to use your 420 doll salary to attack scientists that disagree with you. >> i think in usual fashion, senator, you are distorting everything about me. >> did you ever object to dr. collins's characterization of them as fringe? did you write back to dr. collins, they're not fringe, they're esteemed scientists and it would be geeneath me to do

that? you responded to i am you would do it. you immediately got an article an sent it back to him, i've got them, i nailed them in wired of all. >> that is not what kept on. there you go again. you dough the same thing every hearing. >> that was your response. this wasn't the only time. so your desire to take down people -- >> you're incorrect as usual senator. you are incorrect almost everything. >> you deny, you deny but the emails tell the truth of this. do you any anybody had more influence than you have. >> let me finish. madam chair,. >> you think it is a great success what happened so far? lockdowns for our kids? do you think we slowed down the death rate? more people have died under president biden than did under president trump. you are the one responsible. you are the architect. you are the lead architect for the response from the government and now 800,000 people have died. >> right. >> do you think it is winning success with you advocated for government? elizabeth: dr. murphy, might be a push to plame anybody for

covid deaths, right? that is, that is a push but the point is is that, former nih director francis collins emailed dr. fauci talking about a devastating media take down to go after scientists who were against lockdowns, as we talked about herd immunity, who said let's focus on have nearable. that is what was at stake there, what do you think? >> agree completely. we can't blame one person. this is a virus. the problem, turning the adverse. taking credit, biden is taking credit for crushing the virus. that was never going to happen. i hate to say this about a fellow position but fauci has become the figurehead of this pandemic for this nation. his arrogance turned so many people off. it turned off people from getting vaccinated. it turned off people from trusting physicians. he has truly done more harm some ways than good for the rest of the country during the pandemic. elizabeth: there are emails apparently that show dr. fauci

covering up an early february 2020, the possibility covid-19 leaked from labs in china. he called it a bright shiny object. when this is a serious thing that is being investigated by the w.h.o. and other officials from around the world. this possibility, right? >> yeah. definitely it is a possibility liz. the sad thing is, with this administration, whether they're being blackmailed by china, at some point we'll know with hopefully with good assurety. the sad thing w.h.o. gave china 10 months to clean out their lab. i don't know we'll ever know. it moved on. it is not a non-issue. it's a definitely issue what could happen in the future. elizabeth: yeah. and we have dug into government databases and data found, we found that the nih was funding this supervirus gain of function research starting in 2002. i want to move on. that dr. fauci has been blockading media outlets like "the washington post" asking questions on this. we heard from u.s. experts, uk

expert, hong kong, south africa, health experts in europe that omicron cases could start to go down by the end of the month, really recede in february going into march and uk's boris johnson is saying you know what, we're officially going to say effectively covid-19 pandemic is over in march. we will have no more shut downs, living with covid strategy. why don't we have that here? >> we should have had that all along. i said multiple times, liz, we can't stop living in fear of dying. we have to look what is happening in other countries and learn from them. you know the sad thing is it becomes hysteria people are hiding in their closs etc., running from friends and family. yes, we have to take this seriously. i've been pro-vaccine as have but at some point we say, yeah, this is here. it is not going away. we need to learn to live with things. need to get on with daily lives, get back to some sense of normalcy. we can't keep having this happen

two or three months where we're having lockdowns. we simply can't exist as a nation that way. elizabeth: we're seeing hong kong and south africa studies show omicron can give protection against the delta variant. the compton cell, t-cells in the common cold can give protection against covid-19. the studies are coming out. supreme court might rule that osha will be a more powerful health regular late tore, maybe companies vaccinating for the flu vaccine that is what neil gorsuch is talking about. they could be an shrined, could have a cabal of lobbyists pressuring it, right? >> this is a dangerous precedent i pray the supreme court does not allow that with osha. they have never done this before. flu vaccines, never done this before. osha has never put a heavy hand on businesses to push a type of vaccine. i'm confident that the supreme court throws osha's ability out the window. they don't have the people to do

it. they don't have the staff. they surely don't have the authority. elizabeth: we're watching deaths and case fatality rate is plug plunging in out africa. the problem u.s. media is scaring the bejesus out of everybody. let's watch this, watch. >> they choose only those experts to quote who prefer an unknown hypothetical of fear over known facts. so, listen, neil, you hear all the time, well, yes, maybe omicron seems mild but it could get really bad. we just don't know yet. we really don't know. we know the facts, they have been in from south africa in the beginning. it is nothing to be afraid of. it is something to be celebrated because it is going to create herd immunity with very little public health costs. >> a lot of the media does seem, when i look at it, then travel the country to be very out of touch with people. if you travel the country, people are not really living in

the same bubble that it seems that most of the media is messaging toward. elizabeth: listen, we should be concerned about omicron. people don't want to get sick. the point is well-taken, the media bubble, they're out of touch with people on the streets and living in the heartland or living main street lives. what do you say, dr. murphy. >> i agree, liz. cnn and msnbc want to blow things up to have hysteria with emotionality. hopefully this is the beginning of changing mutation of variations where there is less let that. yes there have been deaths from omicron and need to take it seriously but we don't need an emotional horrifying response from the american people. it is just not why usfied. elizabeth: like pandemic porn, pandemic porn people are calling it. thank you, doctor murphy.

congressman, great to see you. whoa, did you see democrat senator jeff merkley. he really went after house speaker nancy pelosi over her husband's stock trading, quote, i disagree with pelosi completely. when individual members hold individual stocks it cannot but help talking about policies that affect their stock's values. that is big throw down from him. what do you think of this. >> happy knew career, liz, good to be with you. all of recently in the news because what happened over at the federal reserve where clearly they don't have as vigorous, have an old anachronistic governing. the compliance of their governor's involvement in the stock market. in the house since 2012 we have extensive financial disclosure we report and we report monthly transactions of all of our trades and so we have a much more vigorous, transparent system than clearly the fed

does. elizabeth: well nancy pelosi is saying that the stock trades of her husband are a matter of the free market. suddenly she is a libertarian when it comes to the family stock trades. it has become so legendary. congressman, the stock trades of her husband are so legendary on social media, she is called the market's biggest whale. she is pushing back against bans on stock trading by lawmakers and their spouses, all that. the timing of the trades are under scrutiny. pelosi's husband bout stock in tesla right before biden's executive order forcing all cars to be electric. her husband exercised call options worth more than five million dollars to buy shares of google and other stocks right before house judiciary passed a weakened, a weakened set of antitrust bills, so mild the market yawned. >> yeah. this is why this is responsible, each person has a serious

responsibility that same 2012 stock act also reiterated that no member of congress is exempt from the insider trading laws just like every american. and there is a huge higher responsibility for individual members of congress in their personal investments. there is no doubt about that. just as there are for members of the federal reserve board and families are included in that. so speaker pelosi bears the responsibility of her husband's trades and her husband's involvement. you can't separate that. elizabeth: why can't you just buy index funds? if you don't like the rules just quit? you don't have to be in congress. another poll shows more than 3/4 of americans say it is unfair that members of congress can do this because they have insider edge over the little guy here. it just doesn't feel right. you could be sitting in your kitchen in you're a congressman. you know that a law could be up for debate and you can give a dog whistle over to your stock guy, say, buy the stock or sell

it. it just doesn't seem right at all. >> if you do that you're of course breaking the law, you will pay a price. we had members of congress in the past pay the ultimate price for doing something that is essentially criminal. certainly a civil matter. so, the bottom line is you can't legislate morality here. it is very, very important for people to know they have a higher standard when they serve in public office. >> how do you know if pelosi slow-walked legislation in order to help her own stock trades. that is heck of a leap to say that, right? >> good point. elizabeth: sort of amorphous and ephemeral. you can put up guardrails that could be easily violated. >> that is a good point. reassessment of congress how we improve disclosure, transparency, that make sure americans know that the people who are elected for congress have the right integrity and

behavior they expect from the elected representatives. >> congressman french hill, terrific for having you on,,. >> thanks liz. elizabeth: we're coming out of the bottom of the hour. you're watching the fox business network. new york city is being sued giving voting rights to 800,000 non-citizens. senator bill hagerty, we have news with white house talks with russia on the military buildup on the border. are we seeing another foreign policy crisis here. we'll break it down with senator hagerty next. don't go away.

elizabeth: joining us from senate foreign relations, we have back with us senator bill hagerty. senator, the new coming in the white house is sending officials down into congress to pressure senate democrats to stand down, do not go for senator ted cruz's sanctions on russia's nord stream 2 pipeline.

are you hearing the same thing? >> i'm hearing exactly the same thing, liz. by the way, happy new year to you. it is good to be back on here. we're hearing exactly same thing as white house pressuring the democrats to oppose the nord stream 2 sanctions bill. the senate should overwhelmingly pass this bill, regain the leverage we've had. biden administration is about appeasement, giving up leverage, whether the extension of start. president showing up 16 industries the russians should not touch with cyberattacks. there should be no industry with respects to cyberattacks. we need to regain your strength. that is why the nord stream 2 bill should pass. elizabeth: senator, reports are coming in the white house wants to hold on to nord stream 2 in its own hip pocket as leverage itself in talks with russia. what do you think of that angle? >> well i think they gave away

the leverage we had in place before this administration came into office. if you think about it under the trump administration we had nord stream 2 sanctions in place. russia was not piling up on the ukrainian border. before the administration came in we held the s.t.a.r.t. talks up. biden extended for five years and got nothing in return. what the russians are doing, what vladmir putin is doing, he is looking and observing what his administration is doing, whether afghanistan, southern border what is happening on the taiwan strait, middle east, russians taking notice of this. we need to regain our strength. that is why the bill should be put forward and passed. >> we're hearing russia is increasing troops at the border as we speak. watch the pentagon spokesman on this and white house press secretary on this issue. watch this. >> sure. >> see no major changes to the force posture by the russians in

border areas around ukraine. there continues to be a sizable element there. >> 100,000 troops at border. returning troops to the barracks, returning troops to the barracks, conveying us intention of doing that would be easy ways to show de-escalation but absolutely the aggressive action, bellicose rhetoric came from the russians. they have the ability and the power to de-escalate. elizabeth: let's watch leon panetta on this. watch this. >> i think the united states and our allies can actually take some pretty strong steps against russia. i mean one is sanctions which is to cut them off from the international banking system. any using cyber to go after their infrastructure, go after their electric grid, go after their pipelines, and weaken their economy. lastly for providing defensive weapons to the ukraine which is important. they are not just going to be able to walk in to the ukraine

without a fight. elizabeth: is the biden administration ready for all of that? what do you think? >> i think the biden administration is inviting this again by showing weakness. the russians have not seen this opportunity since obama was in power. that was the time we lost crimea to the russians. so again, russia is observing the actions of this administration. the weakness of this administration on foreign policy. they're taking advantage of it. there is no surprise they are not de-escalating. giving them leverage. we should be creating american strength and american leverage in this situation, not, not negotiating from a position of weakness. elizabeth: congressman, bill hagerty, it is so good to see you, come back soon. >> great to be back with you, liz. thank you so much. elizabeth: sure. still to come, new york city getting sued for giving voting rights to 800,000 non-u.s. citizens. up next from house judiciary mike johnson on the shocking report. murders and sex traffickers

administration itself that requested the letter from the biden administration, requested the attorney general to issue that edict and sic the full weight of the department of justice and against parents concerned about school curriculum this, is outrageous revelation. one of a long string of outrageous revelations about this administration and i think people are right to express their outrage. elizabeth: so put put the doj, put the firepower meant for al qaeda on school board parent not at the border where parents have been crossing? >> that's it. they weaponized the department of justice and ultimately the great threat here liz, we talked about some times here that the american people are losing their faith in our institutions and one of the things that you have to have to maintain a constitutional republic that is operable is people's faith and belief that justice truly is equal and blind. we don't have that with the administration and department of

justice. this is just one of the latest examples of the outrage that everybody can see with their own eyes. we have to make some changes. elizabeth: why, let's move on to this story, why did democrats push back against republicans on this story. it erupted into this. convicted murder's violent criminals, sex traffickers, boston marathon bomber got covid stimulus checks while in prison. how did that happen? >> you can't make this stuff up. it was almost a year ago now, biden, democrats in congress passed the so-called american rescue plan, right? $1.9 trillion spendpalooza. all it accomplished to keep schools closed, bail out blue states, to incentivize people to stay home from work. we're learning violent criminals in prison got stimulus checks. this is government waste on steroids, again, another reason that the american people are questioning what is going on on capitol hill. we fought against this. remember republicans brought an amendment to insure there would

be no stimulus checks that go to prisoners. when republicans brought that amendment up, the radical left, mainstream media went crazy. fact checkers lambasted everyone who argued for it. now we see the result. it was totally predictable. elizabeth: we have military veterans homeless on the streets of our country, right? we have people with serious opioid addictions because of fentanyl pouring across the border homeless on the streets of our country and this stuff is going on. i know the federal government is suing convicted murders, sex traffickers, trying to get them to send money to victim's families but there is no chance that is going to work, right, congressman? >> i think it is, it is a high hurdle. outrage of course that the government itself created this crises. this crisis. there are some crises that the biden administration has done on its own. it was completely foreseeable. it never should have happed but

they continue to double down on these policies. of course what the policies are doing, is make the problems worse. when they take the actions, we will not prosecute with brazen theft, what will that encourage? more theft and more crime. 12 cities in 2021 set all-time murder records. this is the kind of thing that you get when you put people in charge who don't believe in the rule of law. who don't believe in accountability. who don't believe in government efficiency. elections have consequences. i think all the american people can see that for themselves. elizabeth: so if republicans take back control of congress we're hearing that they may basically put you know, block on federal grant money going to cities that are soft on crime. we have got 38 states too have weakened shoplifting crimes, busting them down to misdemeanors along with california saying that if you, you know shoppist under $1000 you will be hit with a misdemeanor, not a felony.

this is gateway to violent street crimes like muggings and robberies. that is what police have been saying. what do you do in that scenario? >> first you have to acknowledge the problem as you said. they're enabling criminals, they're harming law enforcement. you have a record number about of retirements in many of these cities. you have on top of that add insult to injury you have vaccine mandates in states like illinois, california, new york. are forcing law enforcement officers out of their employment. this is the worst possible scenario. all of their anti-police rhetoric, defund the police movement, all of that, it has real world consequences. i think people are recognizing that. you see pushback in cities that like in manhattan, the d.a. announces he will not prosecute crimes anymore well the business community, concerned citizens are rising up talking about recall effort on the new so-called progressive d.a. these progressive prosecution policies are endangering our country. there has to be a stop to it. congress may need to take some

action. elizabeth: congressman mike johnson, great to see you, come back soon. >> thank you. good to see you. elizabeth: up next sheriff mark lamb be of arizona. we'll stay on the story about new york city getting sued for giving voting rights 800,000 non-u.s. citizens, this as california's governor gavin newsom is slammed for demanding health coverage for illegal aliens enticing luring them to make a dangerous trek, where thousands, yes, thousands have been murdered and killed along the way. keep it here on "the evening edit". ♪. ♪ superpowers from a spider bite? i could use some help showing the world how liberty mutual customizes their car insurance so they only pay for what they need.

back with us now, sheriff mark lam of arizona, always great to have you on. we have this breaking news, i'd like your reaction to this. over 47000 illegal aliens did not report to ice in a five-month spam last year. they were released and now in the country, we don't know where they are and these could be criminal illegal aliens, your reaction to this story? >> who thought they were going to show up in the first place? when you allow them to come in, they won't jeopardize the chance after paying that money to come here only to be set back, it's

not surprising news at all that they are not showing up to court. >> we hear you loud and clear that us regular and happens a lot. we have this story for you to talk about, u.s. border patrol agent and texas rio grande sector again shot from across the border with mexico. i'm county at least eight times over the last year our poor guys have been shot at while they were doing things like stopping illegal immigrants from illegally crossing. this is a national security problem, am i wrong? >> you are absolutely right, it's a national security problem and has been, this administration took over and was before except we had a president who focus on it and worked toward solving the problem. now we have an administration, media and government completely undermines rule of law and when you undermine rule of law, it gives the message to criminals, in particular the cartel, they can do what they want because they won't be held accountable not by this government at least.

kennedy: now we got the new york state republican party, rnc, naturalized american citizens, legal immigrants and also democrat city councilman in new york city the new mayor eric adams for violating the constitution by letting around 800,000 non-us citizens in municipal elections, we see this trend taking hold in other cities and urban areas across the country. your reaction to this story? >> it's pure insanity and now americans should understand and see what the plan was from the beginning when they had open borders. they wanted to flood our communities with people who didn't belong here or at least came illegally cory through the right process so they could make voters because they know their policies and the way they are running the country is horrible, they are going to get a major rebuking so they are trying to

offset that as much as i can by allowing these people, it's a drop in the face to the american people to allow those who came here illegally who has no status to vote like the rest of the citizens, pure insanity. >> even if they are here 30 days they can vote. they haven't paid the paycheck of the elected officials and new york state constitution for new york state makes it explicitly clear voting rights are reserved only for u.s. citizens, not foreign nationals so somebody from anywhere, an enemy of the u.s. could come in and vote, it's a weird thing. your work on that? >> they don't care about the law, they don't care what the court said or the constitution says, they just continue to do things until somebody tells them they are not supposed to and even like we've seen from biden, they continue to do it despite

being told they can't. that's why they are standing up against, protect the sheriff's of america because we do care and uphold the law. >> sheriff, you and i have talked about this multiple times, this country is pro- legal immigration, do it legally, pro- immigrant. when you do it illegally about the wrong way, you get assaulted and murdered and killed along the route up through panama into the u.s., now you've got california governor gavin newsom saying get health coverage to illegal immigrants, this will lure them to make that dangerous route. your reaction? >> what about the americans who don't have healthcare? now they are talking about getting health care to people who aren't even citizens of this country? it's such a non- america first country. we've got to get back to electing people who will put

america first and california have lost their way. >> sheriff mark lam, thank you for your service to our country. i'm elizabeth mcdonald, you've been watching the evening at on foxbusiness. hope you have a good evening joint as it again tomorrow night. ♪♪ ♪♪ kennedy: rochelle walensky in a slick needle and hospitalized covid patients and finally we are having fourth crisis discussion about designation. who happens to show up to hospital with covid, different from one whose hospitalized because of covid. the old selling lace was the unvaccinated are more likely to be hospitalized but it turns out a bunch of sickly obese people go to the er who happen to test positive for covid.
