"the evening edit" starts right now. jackie: welcome, more on russia ukraine tensions an german chons lore meeting with president biden. rules for thee, not for me. stacy abrams slammed for posing for this photomaskless after calling for tighter mask policies. we have jeff van drew, doctors caucus and. we need to get vaccines.

we need to be wearing masks. we need to mask our children in school yet she didn't have to? >> well it has been since the beginning of the pandemic and it's shameful and horrible. so it is literally almost like socialist state where you know, the people on top are important, they can do, say, feel they the way they want to and behave the way they want to, but not you, you have to do what you're told to do even though it didn't follow the rule of science but we're finding out now, finally, finally, finally they are admitting some of the folks on top, some of the folks in the democratic party this was wrong. that the masks didn't really work. that it was a really a negative for our children. it did hurt our children. some of them psychologically. some of them physically. just really affected their lives for years this has been going on. if you follow the science you knew what the truth was but the reality is fauci, the president,

our governor, other governors, some of them, didn't follow the science and just felt like telling people that they had control and this is what they were going to do, even as you just perfectly said, it is okay, for me to do it, but by the way you can't do it. we can party in florida and you know, just have a lot of fun, do our drinking, not even think of wearing a mask, including aoc, have a good time but everybody else has to be holed up, walled up in a little room somewhere scared and wondering what will happen next. it was wrong and hurt the children. jackie: stacey abrams, explained away the photo wanted children to see her and hear her well. don't you think, parents, liz peek, want their children to hear and see the teachers and other children in the classroom as well? this has been going on so long. some states are saying listen,

we want to give parents the option here. let's give them the option. they can choose what's right for their children? >> exactly. stacey abrams -- >> jackie, that is totally the right approach. it is high time these mask mandates for kids in particular were dropped, particularly because most kids are going to school wearing cloth masks which we're told by medical authorities don't mean anything. when you see dozens now, dozens of democrat lawmakers, mayors, garcetti and you know, newsom and all these people basically don't abide by these rules, it means they don't take them seriously. guess what? increasingly americans don't take them seriously. the good news is, we're turning a corner, not just because cases are down, honestly americans are fed up. the governors of new jersey and connecticut have now acknowledged that, they're dropping mask mandates. they're smart to do it. politically i think this has to

happen. >> congressman, new york politicians are getting caught up in the double standard as well as liz.s out. new york congressman jamaal bowman pictured at a high school without wearing a mask, students around him are masked up. days after doubling down on the mask mandates for students on school grounds. new york city mayor eric adams, he was pictured maskless undoors at a restaurant. at this you have to ask are the public's patience run through with this? i see people bucking mandates here in new york city. they are tired. >> they're tired. they're worn out. what has been done to us has been so unfair. the truth hasn't been told. we've not received truth in so many ways, dealing with covid, dealing with a lot of other issues by the way. really arrogance when a politicians well the kids have to wear masks but we'll take ours off because we really know those kids want to see us, they

want to see our faces. jackie: right. >> you know. the kids want to see their parents faces. they want to see their friends faces. they want to see their grandparents faces. not that many people are concerned about seeing a politician's faces. you've got to be kidding me. >> littlest kids spent their entire academic careers wearing masks. some parents are about. they don't know what life would be like without it essentially. liz peek, i want to finish with you. i did read your column on foxnews.com today. you were talking about anybody essentially who opposes these mandates, they're seen unmining the administration, they're seen as a threat if you will. that is how it is being positioned here. your thoughts? >> i think it is an appalling thing there has been a lockdown on debate and dissent about something, jackie, after all two years ago was brand new. nobody knew what this virus was capable of, how it would spread. why some people were getting sick and others weren't. yet even in the midst of all of

that uncertainty the medical authorities and the politicians who were relying on them pretended they knew everything. i think what's, the reason the truckers are protesting, the reason that so many workers are angry about a vaccine mandate is because many of them have had covid, particularly the truckers. jackie: right. >> who after all early on were out delivering our packages, et cetera, keeping the economy afloat. so they have had it. they know the natural immunity are every bit as important as a vaccine. guess what? the cdc just came out a week or so ago said that very thing. so people have lost confidence. they're tired of being bullied by people who don't know anymore than they know. i think we're really at a tipping point. honestly i'm glad. it's time to sort of step on this censorship whether it is joe rogan or the truckers or whatever. it is offensive and it should never have happened. jackie: i will remind everybody of course from the beginning of the pandemic first fauci said don't wear a mask.

then he said you should wear a mask. then he said you should wear two masks. at a certain point we have to accept it is here to stay. omicron was less potent if you will than previous strains of the virus. we need to move on. so does our economy. congressman jeff van true drew, liz peek. >> great to be with you. jackie: president biden holding a high-stakes meeting with germinations lore olaf scholz. how much is germany willing to do. house foreign affairs member darrell issa joins us. keep it here on "the evening edit." >> all of this is happening because joe biden has shown putin weakness and appeasement. he gave away the nord stream 2 pipeline. ♪.

♪. jackie: welcome back. tensions are high as the world waits to see if russian president vladmir putin will invade ukraine. u.s. officials warn that 70% of russian forces are already in place for an attack. president biden today met with german chancellor olaf scholz said nord stream 2 is a no if russia invades. national security advisor jake

sullivan stressed yesterday that an attack could come any day with kyiv falling in a matter of hours. jacqui heinrich with the latest from the white house. reporter: the elephant in the room during this whole meeting was questions how reliable partner a germany can be with its reliance on russian gas and germany's markedly soft response to russian aggression compared to other nato allies apparently hasn't shaken faith in the white house but president biden is not giving details why. president biden: if russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of ukraine again then there will be, there will be no longer a nord stream 2. we will bring an end to it. reporter: how will you do that exactly? since the project and control of the project is within germany's

control? president biden: we will, i promise we'll be able to do that. reporter: german chancellor sholz dancing around pressure for ironclad commitment for nord stream 2 and swift payment system, exposing a gulf between the united states and its nato ally. >> translator: you can be sure there won't be any measures which we have a differing approach. we will act together, jointly. reporter: german press noted mounting pressure from capitol hill with germany's partnership in nato being called into question. president biden dismissed criticism. president biden: there is no need to win back trust. there is no doubt about germany's partnership with the united states, none. reporter: both leaders noted there is a need to shore up europe's energy supply to reduce dependence on russia in the event of an invasion. he telegraphed hope for a diplomatic solution. as his national security advisor jake sullivan as you mentioned

warned that putin could act any day now to move into ukraine the president biden said that he still believes putin hasn't yet made up his mind but he still gave a message to american citizens in ukraine now is the time to leave. jackie? jackie: jacqui heinrich live at the white house. thank you so much for that. good to see you. the meantime the latest on the international efforts to diffuse the standoff between russia and ukraine as tensions are reaching a fever pitch as jacqui mentioned. putin met with french president macron in moscow as biden met with the german chancellor. we have house foreign affairs committee member, darrell issa. wonderful to see you tonight. president biden says the nord stream 2 pipeline will not happen if russia invades ukraine. i thought the it exchange interesting. the reporter said it is in german control, not yours. the german chancellor dancerred around the whole thing he was

not committing to anything. your thoughts. >> not since neville chamberlain said peace in our time talked so much about diplomacy, you have an aggressor built up a military and intends to use it. this is ironic, the largest militariry buildup since world war ii. it is clear putin wants something out of this. he will take it by force if he doesn't get it by diplomacy. that really puts us in a no-win situation and as you pointed out, president biden gave away the leverage he had on nord stream 2. he gave away the advantage we had of exporting natural gas and fuel. all this he did this first year of his presidency. jackie: the language i thought was interesting. essentially both sides were saying economic sanctions would be imposed. biden said they would be harshest we've seen if there was an invasion. so many people saying with 70%

of the troops russia needs at the border to do this. almost you're egging him on to do it. if you wait until he does it to impose the sanctions you're way too late. >> ronald reagan famously said no war in his lifetime was caused by being too strong and no peace will be achieved here unless we're willing to say that nato will respond as though it was an attack on a naught toe ally. at the moment you say that, say it with conviction and bring germany and france into it, suddenly putin has to reevaluate whether he want a war with the west on their terms at this time. i don't think he does but anything short of that, and he will go forward or get some concessions that america and the world will regret. jackie: president biden continues to posture essentially saying he doesn't think that putin is going to do it but top security advisor, national security advisor jake sullivan told "fox news sunday" that russia could invade ukraine any day and white house officials are warning that a full-scale

invasion could lead to a human toll of 50,000 on the ukrainian side. listen to this. >> any day now russia could take military action against ukraine or it could be couple weeks from now or russia could choose to take the diplomatic path instead. it will come at enormous human cost for ukraine, but we believe based on our preparations and response it will come as a strategic problem for russia as well. jackie: once the lives are lost the sanctions seem less meaningful. >> not only that once the lives are crossed we haven't crossed a line since hitler came over the czech border. that is where we are. we are being tested in a way we haven't been tested since world war ii. we're not so far passing the test any better that neville chamberlain did. the idea we would negotiate a diplomatic solution not to invade a independent sovereign countries, we gave guaranties to

them when we gave up the nuclear weapons. we're reneging on guaranties unless we put the full force of nato and the u.s. behind them. we haven't been willing to do it. as you can see, to paraphrase the late margaret thatcher, germany is going wobbly on us. jackie: i find that really interesting. when you think about president trump the first thing he said he would not allow nord stream 2 to move forward. he would not give them the green light they had this tool and this advantage but also you put a lot of pressure on the allies to stand, to really be aligned, understand what the definition of that word is. here germany almost playing both sides of the fence right now because it gets so much of its energy needs from russia. so you know, a different president in office would have produced a different outcome here but you don't have this president seemingly giving the same kinds of messages? >> you're exactly right and if this president was willing to say we will provide all of the energy needed to insure that germany never gets cold we would have a very different situation

but instead we're making this bizarre argument we can't produce this foss is fuel energy because of climate change but russia can and that is, that is the worst logic i ever have seen. to give them a weapon of energy because, quote, we won't export something that is plentiful and clean here. jackie: yeah. and when it comes to energy, of course, you know, in our country we were producing so much energy on such a wonderful track with that, see what is happening with the price at the pump. not just natural gas. it is fuel prices as well. people are struggling, sit back and say it is pretty amazing the way he has taken the energy policy and essentially turned it upside down. instead of producing we're asking russia as well. >> well, exactly. our dependence on russia or venezuela or other countries that might become hostile to us was a problem we had for decades. it affected foreign policy. we need to be independent of that in our decisions.

under president trump we became independent and our decisions were not a calculation whether or not we could afford to make certain decisions. right now germany is making decisions based on reliance on russian energy and that's making them a nato ally we cannot trust. jackie: congressman darrell issa, great to see you tonight, thank you so much, sir for your insight and your time. >> thank you of the appreciate it. jackie. jackie: crime continues to spiral out of control in soft on crime democrat run cities. up next, texas congressman troy nehls what he is doing to get sisters on the streets to keep families safe. >> family members will start complaining, see their family members, being robbed, murdered, they will start rising up. ♪

keep them safe. i enacted legislation, hopefully we get it through the house, that it is public safety enhancement act. in it, it adds 100,000 officers to our nation's streets. they did it in '94, jackie, in the crime bill. we should be able to do it today. >> yeah. and earlier in this segment we heard former westchester county executive, republican gubernatorial candidate rob esther reno talk about the two officers killed in new york city. a new report, more cops have been killed under the biden administration than brief years. i wonder, i'm guessing the answer to this question is no but are you surprised? how does legislation like yours help remedy this? i think it is something people pretty much want to see in their states across the country too? >> law enforcement, they don't feel appreciated today. i did it for eight years. i was a county sheriff in texas for eight years, law enforcement doesn't feel appreciated because of all the rhetoric, anti-police

rhetoric, defund the police movement. now is the time, i believe now is the appropriate time for congress to come together, both sides of the aisle, look at my legislation. it adds 100,000 officers to our nation's streets over the next five years. it was done in 1994 under the crime bill in '94 when bill clinton was the president and guess who the author of this bill was on the senate side? it was joe biden. jackie: yeah. >> so joe biden supported this in '94. why can't we do this now? i sent a letter to every, all 435 members saying we owe this to the american people. if we're truly worried about our nation's streets and the violent crime that we're seeing here is an opportunity. criminal justice reform president biden, you talk about it often. here is an opportunity. let's get it done. the american people deserve to be safe in their communities. jackie: it's a huge opportunity, not one i think this administration might pounce on. we'll have to see but having said that i see it here in

last week you reported how facebook actually shut down the u.s. convoy organizing group. i'm hearing from truckers that this censorship is actually motivating them further. now the people's convoy in the u.s. is moving full steam ahead with their protest from california to d.c. the plan is to remain peaceful but stay in the capital until the federal and state governments mandates across industries. while the cross-border mandate affects a small portion of truckers. policies impact workers across the supply chain. trickling down to the workforce already down 80,000 drivers, driving up prices for americans. the broader challenges are motivating the people east convoy. it is not just the truckers, health care work, educators they're representing pushing back by these mandates. >> but, now here we are violating human rights every single day with these mandates and it is not just us. it is happening all over the world. so, i think everybody, i think truckers especially but a lot of people in the united states and around the world have all

can takes a percentage of every donation made, tweet themselves to support chop, but now after they raised $10 million, take percentages to shut it down and imposing their political will on a donation campaign. i mean as attorney general, and as attorneys general will look at this probably around the nation, they will look whether this is misleading and deceptive and whether the company can do this to unsuspecting donors. after they make the donation the company comes in and arbitrarily decides it doesn't politically fit with their causes. that is what we want to look at as attorney generals but as americans you said in your last segment, or the reporter said this is you are ising them on more. jackie: yes i was going to highlight that. >> yeah. i mean, as americans this is because you're seeing shutdowns, show your papers, you know, in our instance we had a president that did a commission whether we should politically pack our court. now we're having folks using

social media to shut down causes, shut down organizations. you saw that facebook counsel ad u.s. trucker trying to organize here in the u.s. of course people are speaking out. of course. jackie: let me ask you this real quick while i have you, you are taking legal action against the biden administration as well for releasing illegal immigrants into florida. i want to know where that stands thus far? >> absolutely. i mean we have repeatedly sued this administration because they are thumbing their noses at laws on the books. there are public safety fundamental immigration laws that both sides of the political aisle have enforced simply deporting those that are here illegally committing crimes. that is no longer done by the biden administration. taking people in and just releasing them, transporting themselves all over the nation. that's being done in violation of up my graduation laws. and now, and now, they are setting up programs to not only let people that have come in illegally stay here, but they're

olympics. chinese government officials warned athletes they should be careful when discussing chinese laws and regulations or face, quote, certain punishments. now human rights activists say silence will not stop when the athletes head home. several human rights experts those athletes who depend on corporate sponsorships for their income may need to continue to keep silence. your thoughts? >> yes of course. because those companies have a real incentive to toe beijing's line, propagate chinese narratives. we have american politicians who are concerned about the safety of the athletes who say don't speak out. this all shows that it is not safe to send anybody, athlete or not, to chinese soil. we've known this for quite some time. china takes hostages. this is just lawless behavior. and it is just dangerous to go to china. jackie: can we talk about

pungshai stepping back from the allegations, being interviewed under circumstances you can understand she might step back from what she said? >> clearly she made allegations of rape in her november weibo poe posting. she said i was misunderstood. we have the words and the words are crystal. china is doing everything it can possibly can to force her to say, no, i wasn't saying that at all. this really shows coerce i have power of the chinese regime. for that they used the international olympics committee to coerce and silence peng shuai, which goes beyond all behavior that is civilized. jackie: gordon in the last minute we have i want to talk about the origins of covid-19, the investigations into it. of course china hasn't cooperated. that is one of the biggest gripes many people have when it comes to hosting the olympics right now.

if you don't comply with international investigations of this magnitude you do not deserve this forum. >> well certainly and the world health organization has not pressed china hard. it was wrong for president biden to rejoin the w.h.o. on this first day in office. you know about the origins is one thing but we also know, jackie, that chinese leaders, ones this disease got out into china actually took decisions to deliberately spread this beyond china's borders. that is 5.7 million people who have died. more than 900,000 americans. by the way, that technically qualifies as a genocide under article ii of the genocide convention of 1948. jackie: it has been catastrophic and china should be held accountable but not sure this administration can do it. gordon chang, thank you. and good to see you. >> thank you, jackie. jackie: migrant encounters topping two million in 2021 on pace for a repeat performance this year. what is the white house doing about the crisis here at home?

plus robot dogs could be brought in to help. texas attorney general ken paxton joins us next on "the evening edit." >> there's a variety of statistics that dhs can provide. the question is will they provide that? and i think the answer is no because it doesn't tell a very flattering story. was not good. i had periodontal disease, and i just didn't feel well. but then i found clearchoice. [ forde ] replacing marcia's teeth with dental implants at clearchoice was going to afford her that permanent solution. [ marcia ] clearchoice dental implants gave me the ability to take on the world. i feel so much better, and i think that that is the key.

yep, it's go time with wireless on the most reliable network. the ability to take on the world. ok, that jump was crazy! but what's crazier? you get unlimited for just 30 bucks. nice! but mine has 5g included. wait! 5g included? yup, even these guys get it. nice ride, by the way. and the icing on the cake? saving up to 400 bucks? exactly. wait, shouldn't you be navigating? xfinity mobile. it's wireless that does it all and saves a lot. like a lot, a lot.

welcome back, joining us now, ken paxton talking about the prices at the border, attorney general worse by the day data coming in showing migrant encounters across the southern states including texas topped 2 million in 2021, the white house says no problem sending to eastern europe but what about our border? >> they are not taking it seriously, just the opposite. they are inviting this, it's incredibly disheartening and frustrating from a complete disdain and disrespect for federal law and not just ignoring it, they are doing the opposite inviting it to come and it doesn't matter if people have criminal backgrounds or come in with covid or part of the cartel. they are all welcome. >> i feel like it's an issue now in respect to how much is covid, there is so much else the

administration is doing to talk about but having said that, authorities stopped another 178,000 unauthorized migrants at the southern border in december alone. the white house brings others and by air, we got video that. first nine months of 2021, the administration sent $340 million transporting water crosses illegal aliens into the country. >> it now more than 100,000 transported in one shape form or fashion. the total cost, not just flights but the new pendulum places where they live, the healthcare's over $2 billion, there's no end to how much damage the biden administration seeks to do is no end to how much money they are willing to spend our money in order to pack america millions of illegal aliens. >> $2 million. when we are fighting over how to spend funds to help our own

people on certain issues. think about this, they are transported by air into different states, they need housing and assistance finding work and their children put in schools. they need programs to help them learn to speak english, all of these things costing the state taxpayers. >> there's no doubt it's costing billions of dollars. not only money into law enforcement but we have to educate, healthcare and all these things you said and if none is authorized by congress so it's falling on american taxpayers to the federal government and local taxpayers. the cost to every american is there and unfortunately it's never been voted on or authorized, the opposite. he supposed to stop this and he has no care about it at all. >> this is interesting because some help could be on the way for border agents who have complained they don't have the support they need to do their job, they actually want to. robot dark and testing to help stop the migrants along southern border, they feature this

advanced army technology including zoom, night vision, thermal sensors and your take on all of this? >> anything that helps border agents. these men and women are brave and courageous and put themselves at risk. the death rate among these border patrol is up because of covid, tooth 75%. the problem is even when we catch them, they just claim asylum come into the country and they are flown in the middle of the night to someone else, it doesn't seemed like the biden administration even when we catch them tries to turn them around. >> it's hard to think about the robot stops in testing if they could help when we got the poor material bear paid for, raw material and the administration doesn't want to punish the wall. what you think of the agenda is here? they said don't come and get people came, they said we will institute remain in mexico yet they are not doing it. what are they trying to accomplish here?

my sense is they are trying to take the migrants across the country and essentially change the electoral mass. >> you hit it. that's exactly what they are trying to do. they want to give amnesty to these people get as many and as possible, make sure we get them to the right places in the right congressional districts and states, i think it's all planned. there's tremendous cost in the states, we are doing well as states, republican states in creating opportunity and it also cost these states and makes it harder for us to do well and i think that's part of the agenda. >> when we first started having these conversations, it was just border states, your state. now it's impacting americans across the country. is there anything we can do to stop this if the administration isn't willing to? >> we've got our constitution government present clearly doesn't respect that. he's not fulfilling his constitutional role. congress could do something, they would have to impeach the president.

we are trying to do things and part, nine lawsuits and we are asking the court to enforce we are trying to get done. >> ken paxton, great to see you, thank you so much and the work you are doing. >> thank you. >> i am jackie deangelis and for elizabeth mcdonald, you're watching the evening at it, that does it for us. thank you so much for walking and have a great evening. ♪♪ kennedy: at started in canada and now it's going global. welcome. the canadian freedom convoy shines a spotlight on personal freedom and the fight against covid purity. cracking down but is this the spark liberty lovers have been longing for? in case you haven't been following it which is okay, we'll catch you up, proper protests started in canadian last month, it's now the nation's capitol, the truckers say they are fighting back
