>> these forces are not going to fight in ukraine. they are going to insure the robust defense of our nato allies. reporter: some gop members oppose the strategy. >> bad idea, it is a mistake. it a mistake to send more american troops to europe at this time but listen, this is just another foreign policy crisis this administration blundered into and i'm sure it will not be the last. reporter: secretary of state antony blinken and defense secretary lloyd austin lead two classified briefings tomorrow on ukraine here on capitol hill. there is starting to be a schism between liberals and the biden administration over the proper course of action. >> i think congress has not been consulted sufficiently and the executive authority to, whether it is troops or send weapons or whatever it is, a lot of those things do need to have more con aggression consultation. reporter: lawmakers from both

sides believe the last four administrations abused their war powers without involving congress. back to the invasion of afghanistan after 9/11. the senate is stalled writing a bipartisan sanctions bill for russia. liz? elizabeth: chad pergram, thanks for your reporting there, we really appreciate it. joining us now senator marsha blackburn from, excuse me from senate judiciary. senator, great to have you on. reports of this transparency mechanism where russia can verify the absence of tomahawk cruise missiles capable of reaching russia at nato anti-missile shield bases in bulgaria, vice versa for the pentagon, inspecting two missile launching bases in russian territory. that is deescalation, that the white house is talking about reportedly. your reaction to this story? >> the white house is coming to this whole entire issue just a little bit too late. we know russia, china, iran,

north korea, that is your new axis of evil and we know that russian adventurism has been an olympic sport for putin. he loves to go in around the olympics. he did the in georgia in 2008. did it in the ukraine in 2014. and liz, what we have to realize is they're nibbling around the edges. what they should done is what i recommended back in november, sanctions beginning sales of lethal assistance to ukraine, having a unified diplomatic message that said, we are not going to tolerate this and putting the sanctions on the country, on russia, on putin, on the oligarchs. that is the way you get their attention. so to come in say we'll give you this, if you will give us that, they're coming at it from the wrong direction. elizabeth: you know energy prices, oil markets and gas

could take hits if this goes to war, senator, right? >> you're right. when you look at this people will say sometimes why does ukraine matter? it matters because putin is trying to put the band back together. he wants the old soviet union back. it matters, what he is trying to do, work with china, corner the energy markets, push us out, and of course every decision that joe biden has made on energy is something that would help russia, whether it is nord stream 2, the okay there or shutting down keystone. so, liz, what we have to look at, they see weakness in biden. they see him as rudderless. so what are they doing? they will push the envelope until they get stopped. and it is like putin has a plan and biden doesn't have a plan. he has got a reaction here or there, but nothing that is

cohesive that says russia, you are not a superpower. we're not going to let you get outside of your boundaries. we r going to stop you. if you try something, you better beware. elizabeth: senator, you know, also pushing the until right now is china. we've got accusations of democrat insider dealing now hitting u.s. foreign policy. china state media calling speaker nancy pelosi, quote, a parasite over reports about the tens of millions of dollars pelosi's husband made in stock trading gains while pelosi is on the job. after speaker pelosi attacked china in a tweet, touting the democrats new push against china. this is unusually harsh rhetoric, undiplomatic according to diplomatic sources. so your take what's going on here? we've never seen china do this. china is really ramping up the rhetoric. >> china ramped up their rhetoric months ago. they have sanctioned me. they have banned me. they have called me all sorts of

unpleasant words. i kind of wear it as a badge of honor. the chinese communist party is up to know good. they are intent on global dominance. they want to remove the united states as a global superpower. they're trying to recast their image in the olympics. you've got u.s. entities like nbc and other companies that are going to be olympic corporate sponsors, that are helping them in this endeavor. it is unseemly. elizabeth: you know fbi director christopher ray said china is a top threat, that when he first stepped into the job, the sheer magnitude of chinese spying to steal u.s. technology blew him away. it is like surveillance nightmare of east germany combined with the high-tech of silicon valley. he has all of that going on and then you have new reports about irs grand jury subpoenas to get after what is going on with hunter biden, his uncle james biden and his associates and his

off-balance sheet shell companies, taking in cash and money, cash flows out of business dealings with china. so this is an issue for national security as well. your thoughts on that? >> yes. you're exactly right. you have to realize that whether it is xi xinping or vladmir putin, they're thugs and they want to displace us and they are up to no good. and of course they are trying to find people that they can play ball with. hunter biden has been willing to play ball with them and it appears from what we know about the 2019 grand jury subpoenas that were sent to bank of china and to jpmorgan, that it also includes biden incorporated and james biden. we also are aware of the tax evasion charges on 2018, regarding hunter biden. these are investigations that are continuing to this day. we need a special counsel to get to the bottom of this.

elizabeth: senator marsha blackburn, it is a pleasure to have you on. come back soon. great insights there. >> always a pleasure. elizabeth: police warning border chaos behind rise in crime. former kansas mother arrested because she gave al-baghdadi a plan to break into the u.s. via the southern border to bomb a unnamed college campus. we have former nypd lieutenant, darren porcher, next on "the evening edit". >> i believe this is a result of the soft on crime policies of democrat governance. low bail, no bail. we have catch and elise on the southern border, we have catch-and-release in our criminal justice system as well.

want him to call out criminals and also progressive district attorneys and prosecutors who have chosen to downgrade certain crimes and not prosecute others. law enforcement groups saying it is costing lives. >> it is not just in new york, it's in cities across this country. when we have violent offenders that are taken off the street only to be put back on the street for them to continue, to continue their violent actions, well that is a failed experiment that is causing people their lives and making our communities less safe. reporter: with homicide rates breaking records in 16 major cities last year morale among law enforcement is all-time low. 73 officers were killed in the line of duty in 2021 that is the most since 1995, with the exception of 2001 after 9/11. an abc poll this week showed 64% of americans disapprove the president's handling of crime. the white house refused to weigh in on the policies of these progressive d.a.s but touted president biden's funding proposals for cops.

>> the president outlined a comprehensive plan last year to tackle gun crime that includes giving cities historic funding through the american rescue plan to put more cops on the beat. the president's budget doubles federal support for community policing. the department of justice continues to step up their efforts to combat violent crime and gun trafficking. reporter: critics say the president needs to do more to address crime than talk about funding police and more gun control. we don't know if he will announce any new plans tomorrow, it will mark the first event in months dealing exclusively with the issue of crime. liz? elizabeth: jacqui heinrich, great journalism there, great to see you. joining us former nypd lieutenant, he is darren porcher. lieutenant, we had a funeral today for nypd officer wilbert mora. he and his partner jason rivera shot in harlem, shot dead. the president is coming tomorrow to new york city. what can he do to stop this? >> well i think the president

can do a lot. one of the first things the president can do is introduce the assistance of the attorney general merrick garland in providing a level of oversight in connection with these d.a.s are not willing to uphold the rule of law. we look at manhattan for example, we have alvin bragg, a highly progressive district attorney is not will tock prosecute low level offenses. the same thing happening in places like philadelphia, san francisco, los angeles, chicago. the president can use the attorney general in a position that promotes public safety. however, i don't think that is what is going to occur. i think the meeting we'll have at one police plaza in connection with the president, the governor, the mayor of the city of new york is merely window-dressing. it is a sham and we need something to happen and we need it to happen now. president biden has been in office over a year. it's behind you to blame the last person. you bought this. this is yours. therefore we expect and we

demand public safety as citizens of the united states. elizabeth: yeah, the president and his team they have not called out weak on crime prosecutors who are democrats in the cities you cited, they have not done it. he will likely not do it tomorrow. we had a shocking day of crime yesterday. two law enforcement officers shot and killed in bridgewater college, in virginia. much more violence yesterday. we have this, the white house is touting that the president is increasing funding for cops more than the trump administration but not addressing the issue that they have weakened the border. drugs and crime are pouring across the border into u.s. cities. we have this story. the fbi arrested a 42-year-old mom from kansas, allison fluke ekron, isis battalion commander in syria. the criminal affidavit witnesses in syria said she gave isis commander al-baghdadi a plan to cross the u.s. southern border from mexico, and quote, drop off

an explosive packed backpack at an unnamed u.s. college campus to kill students. she told the witness, don't worry about the logistics. i know how to get into the u.s. from mexico. your reaction to this? >> when we look at the epic failure of border safety in connection with how we should fortify our southern border this is clear reflection on the failed policies of the biden administration. crime is reaching an all-time high. the meteoric rise is not being interdicted by a plausible crime control strategy from the federal post. president biden many instances touts successes as commander-in-chief as that person responsible for allowing federal funding to the municipalities in the southern border however when you look at the quantitative statistics it is clear there is uptick in crime as opposed to a precipitous drop as he touts in his briefings constantly.

elizabeth: where is the condemnation of the riots that killed 30 people and caused billions of dollars of damages to u.s. businesses and small businesses across the country from the black lives matter riots? now we have the state of california saying that black lives matter, we're going to personally find you liable, each and everyone of you if you don't turn your financial records which you have left yet to do in 60 days. no one knows who is running million dollar bankroll there. there is talk of insider corruption. you're reaction to that. >> i'm surprised this is happening in california, most liberal state in the country. if black lives matter is inappropriately spending the money, they need to be held accountable, that state attorney general in california needs to take appropriate action against black lives matter. >> darren porcher, good to see you, lieutenant. come back soon. the next story for you a new study based on analysis of two dozen studies shows with etf been reporting since the

"axios" reporting out of the situation room, the "axios" report, that the cia warned biden in 2021 afghanistan would fall. the white house did not respond until the kabul fell in august of 2021. "axios," cia was treated like quote chicken little. your response to this? >> well this confirms the suspicions of many of us and all the indications we've seen liz, tell you senator duckworth and i, we put some, a plan together. it is now law which will require

a 9/11 style commission to be brought together to study this stuff from day one until the botched exit. we know this. there was no plan for the withdrawal. in the 11th hour as kabul was falling, only at that point did the administration really identify countries that could be used to transit evacuees. we also know they didn't wait until the very last minute, again, kabul falling, to locate, local afghans who helped our country for a number of years and they did not contact those individuals about whether they wanted to come to the united states or some other country to be evacuated. so basically they're is no plan at all. so this is a failure of leadership. this is a case of bureaucratic inertia and the most damning thing, i will tell you, liz, we've seen zero members of state department, high-ranking defense officials or white house staffers who have been held accountable on the back end of this. we had 13 united states marines who gave their lives to make sure that evacuation went as well as it could.

elizabeth: we hear you. it is in line with what "the washington post" reported in august of last year, that a decade ago, then senator biden argued the u.s. did not have an obligation to afghanistan, quote, we did it in vietnam. nixon and kissinger got away with it. then senator biden in 1975 said about vietnam, quote, i'm sick of hearing about our moral obligation there. is this still the same stance we had on afghanistan today? >> no, look, we do have a moral obligation. i think -- elizabeth: talking about the president's position toward afghanistan now, did it change? it sounds like it is the same position he had from the past? >> yeah. well, that's the wrong position. the position should be pottery barn's rules, if you break it you own it. in this case we have been in that country for a long period of time and we were, we created the misup depression that somehow we had rebuilt the military. so we own that withdrawal.

it didn't have to be this way. had the administration planned from you know, march through september we could have had an orderly evacuation, we could have identified those third party countries and frankly we could hold people accountable for all the things that went wrong but we have none of that, liz and that is absolutely damning. elizabeth: got it. senator todd young, thanks for joining us. good to see you. next up, new study of multiple studies, two dozen of them, shows what we've been reporting to you since 2020, since the pandemic broke out, lockdowns, shutdowns have zero impact in reducing pandemic deaths but they had a huge and negative impact on the economy and american families. we break it down with congressman drew ferguson of the house gop doctors caucus next on "the evening edit." >> i think what these studies show what some of us knew, that ultimately there is economic and there is social costs to these lockdowns.

doctor's caucus, congressman drew ferguson. congressman, there was a meta analysis of about 24 studies by johns hopkins university researchers. they found shutdowns in the u.s. and europe, practically zero impact in cutting covid deaths. levels than 1%, 0.2%. now the white house had pushed for that. dr. fauci had pushed for that. now they're going after joe rogan. your take on this? >> look, that study validates what many of us have been saying and what we have known from the beginning, draconian measuring of the federal government overreaching and controlling people's lives did more harm than good. the study shows that it reduced covid deaths by .2%. yet probably has cost the global economy $35 trillion but what that really means, americans lives have been greatly disrupted not by coronavirus but by the government policies and

we know that these policies have caused mental harm, they have caused a failure in education, millions of americans are still out of work and hundreds of thousands of family owned small businesses have been laid waste by these radical policies. look at europe. england, other countries are doing away with the covid restrictions. they're lifting it. long past time that america does the same. elizabeth: yeah. you're right, britain, france, ireland, nordic countries, we're seeing more countries in europe saying no to vaccine passports, no to masks. are they antiscience? that is the debate. everybody listened to what they thought were leading scientific experts who were wrong. now dr. fauci is saying yeah, i support a commission to look into the origins of the pandemic. so who do we believe? >> well the one person i don't believe is anthony fauci.

the cdc is a close second. a the a time america needs trust in the government and public health institutions the liberals on the other side of the aisle have done everything they can to destroy the trust americans need in their government in tough times. everything that has come from the administration has been mixed messages, it has been opaque. americans are sick and tired of their livelihoods going away, they're tired of their children being used as pawns in schools. they are tired of the restrictions leading to more harm in their lives. it is, it is time to get on with our lives. most americans agree with that position. elizabeth: now we have got pfizer pushing for a vaccine for five and under. pfizer wants to do that. even cnn's dr. wen says the data is not there to do vaccinations on children under the age of five. so vaccines have not been fully tested. we're still in the beginning innings of. we don't know the long-term effects of vaccines.

these crazy antidefund the police movements, and open borders. americans are sick and tired of -- live their lives. elizabeth: congressman, one thing, i want to get to this because the president is going to do a state of the union address in march, right? we see jen psaki, we see senator chuck schumer, president biden repeatedly mislead the american people, that they have record job growth. they don't. 22 million jobs were destroyed from the pandemic lockdowns. this is like the rooster taking credit for the sun going up. we're still 4 million jobs short pre-pandemic. the american people are being misled constantly by this white house. how do you stop it, congressman, final word? >> first we recognize americans are seeing the truth, they're feeling the truth and we trust the american people. we know there are almost four million people that have left the workforce. job participation rate is all-time low. i think it is important to know doubt there is still 11 million jobs that are open across america right now, yet the

indictment of democrat lawyer michael sussman. this is a botched trump-russia investigation. it could ensnare biden team members from hillary's campaign. it could ensnare biden's national security advisor jake sullivan. what do you think? >> good evening, liz. that's right, jake brown van sullivan was at the time hillary clinton's campaign advisor and he was the mouthpiece for the hoax about the alfa bank which michael sussman, who was marc elias's partner at perkins coie, famous democratic election lawyer, also served as chairman of hillary clinton's campaign that was, that was the source of the information about alfa bank. it's a big hoax. so did jake sullivan know it was a hoax or was he duped? elizabeth: yeah. that is an important question. >> if you were rachel maddow liz, you might say the walls are closing in. elizabeth: well i don't, i'm

the total cost of the attention were places where they live, the healthcare sees over $2 billion, there's no and to how much damage the administration seeks to do and how much money they are willing to spend our money in order to pack america with millions of illegal aliens. liz: for 2 billion include the federal contractors hired, the healthcare and detention centers and more, is that what it includes? >> yes, ma'am. thus the total cost but when you ask the biden administration for information, you have to take what the what you get with a grain of salt, no guarantee their recording all cost of everything but this shouldn't be new to america, there have been plenty of studies over the years that indicate the net cost to american taxpayers each year, net cost of the city and county and state and federal level

exceeds 120 billion, that's a lot of money that could have been used for america but instead is used to the benefit of illegal aliens. liz: part is this 100 billions number come from? >> federation of americans for immigration reform. the acronym is fair. people can look it up. liz: okay. illegal border crossing from 150 other countries, that's the new york times reporting part if not including mexico or central america, it looks like they've started to move higher, the moment joe biden sat in the office for the first time after he was inaugurated. florida governor ron desantis says we are not going to take these flights coming into florida or if you are facilitating human trafficking at the taxpayer expense, the cartel are making money off of it. >> all of that is true and the

motivation is crystal clear. the socialist democrats, political power in they perceive the way to get it is important millions upon millions of illegal aliens, the biden administration over 2 million in the past year alone and if you recall, joe biden's promise in the nationally televised debates, presidential debates in october 2020, he's going to give amnesty and citizenship to all of. that's encouraging it to get worse. liz: again, we are a humanitarian country, pro- immigration, we just want people to come safely in a fair and right way, the legal way but with now we got rhonda, the mother of a daughter, a 19-year-old killed by a drunk driver who was an illegal alien, let's watch her attorneys talk about what happened, they feel the white house has been ignoring this if they voted, the mother voted for president biden. >> not being deported is like

you telling me my daughter's life is meaningless. liz: we've been covering this six years, reporting on angel families who lost their loved ones to illegal alien crime, a story the media will not touch, why? >> the socialist democrats have political power more than willing to protect american lives. the example you just gave happens roughly 2000 times a year, roughly how many americans die each year according to federal government crime data on american soil, killed because of the conduct of illegal aliens. each year, 2000 will be alive but for what the biden administration is doing protecting illegal americans on american soil but if you take into account overdoses based on deadly narcotics shipped across

our southern border, it's another 30 plus thousand dead americans each year because the biden administration does not protect our southern border, does not abide by the united states constitution provision that requires them to do so. liz: we have a former kansas resident, not now charges a terrace, she claims she knew how to get into the u.s. and told isis commander to do it in order to bomb an unnamed college campus with a backpack full of explosives. she's been charged by the fbi. there is not going on and you need a vaccine card do it at a restaurant but they can use arrest warrants to get on an airplane, somehow no voter id, helps selection integrity when the media reports on this when the voters see this, many are

saying they are saying what is going on but the final word? >> the socialist democrats want to impose dictatorial power over the american people. they believe they know more about how we take care of our lives than we do and you better wake up. liz: thank you for joining us. got it. thank you so much for joining us, i'm elizabeth mcdonald. join us again tomorrow night. ♪♪ kennedy: there's good news for rationalists who are skeptical of lockdowns from the beginning of the pandemic, you are right. bringing society to a grinding halt had minimal impact on covid-19 deaths, didn't really prevent them but they were disastrous for the economy and society. research from johns hopkins university i copenhagen study political studies shows forcing people out and into confined spaces with mortality by almost 3% shuttered
