"the evening edit" starts right now. elizabeth: happening now, a whistle-blower make as major complaint to the irs. he says the president owes more than $120,000 in back taxes. the big question, tax pros are asking this, did biden use a murky tax move to hide income potentially got from hunter biden's overseas business deals? with us tonight the former staffer from the joint economic committee who broke the story. also joining us fox business host larry kudlow, ken paxton, dan bishop, byron donalds, lee
6:01 pm
zeldin and federallest senior editor chris bedford. does biden keep or ditch trump's title 42 border policy? he may abolish it. biden may ask for more money to handle a mass migrant event. it is already equal to size of kansas. the cleanup from the white house. white house flip-flops of mask mandates, bad growing list of frustrating messaging. white house message something falling down the stairs and out the front stoop again. biden energy policy, build back badly, selling u.s. strategic oil reserves to europe and alienating saudi arabia. democrats let tear families cash in on their power and we have exploding, disturbing remarks from nancy pelosi at trump voters. next level, hillary slammed trump voters as deplorable.
6:02 pm
this is why one of the most divisive house speakers in u.s. history needs to go. also tonight, fentanyl pouring across the border, quadrupled under biden. 26 gop governors launch a strike force, opioid epidemic killing our children. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show. you're watching the fox business network. let's take a look at your moneys, s&p, netflix, look at the stock, it is in freefall. down nearly 35%, of about $60 billion in market value this is what is going on. netflix reported for the first time in more than pa decade it lost subscribers, talking 200,000. could be potentially worse at netflix. elon musk even weighed in tweeting quote, the woke mind virus is making netflix unwatchable. also this, president biden met
6:03 pm
with military leaders at the white house today as ukraine is pushing back on russia in the east. fighting is escalating. we've got more than five million have fled ukraine. we've got reports coming in, president biden is considering keeping trump's pandemic border policy, title 42. but another report suggests, no he is not. joining us now, congressman dan bishop from house judiciary along with texas attorney general ken paxton. great to have you both on the show. thanks for spending time with us. congressman, first to you. the president may ask congress for more money, more spending at the border, if he gets rid of title 42. they're talking about a quote mass migrant event. border agencies could run out of money by july. what is going on here, congressman? >> liz, we talked several times over the past year about the catastrophe the biden administration unleashed on the border already. if they allow this dropping title 42 restrictions to go through, become effective it will unleash a tidal wave like we've never seen at border, even
6:04 pm
the signals in advance of that happen having their effect. last month, over 220,000 illegal crossing encounters at the border, it is a, it is a continue used and increasing disaster. it must stop. democrats are finally telling the white house that, i believe. elizabeth: now we've got breaking news coming in. cdc say yes, they will appeal the mask ruling, out of that judge in florida who said get rid of masks on airplanes. but you know, ken paxton, we've got the white house is focusing on mask mandates for americans on airplanes. then we've got bill melugin of fox news reporting border patrol already stopped, they already stopped enforcing title 42 of illegals from central america. there are double standards and hypocrisy here. >> you can't make this stuff up. americans have to wear masks on airplanes, we'll let people cross the border by the thousands and by the millions
6:05 pm
over the year who are not tested. who might have covid. they will drop the 42 restrictions which we're wait to that? it doesn't make any sense, but clearly they don't care about border security and clearly don't care about covid. elizabeth: to ken's point, not just about title 42, congressman. it is about remain in mexico. 2 1/2 million, thereabouts, already caught trying to cross illegal with title 42 in place. that is near i let size of kansas. biden says get rid of trump's pandemic policy at border but getting the cdc to keep masks on americans on airplanes? he is all over the map on that. >> liz, one of the real signals, one of the real images of this administration has been one that is lawless. we owe a great debt of gratitude to attorney general paxton that he was involved in getting the osha mandate struck down. they just have been reckless and lawless and unfortunately we've, we've had to rely on our state attorneys general to go to the courts over and over again to
6:06 pm
get these policies straightened out. we need administration that respects law, personal freedom and americans rights. elizabeth: there is chaos in the white house. you will see the sound coming up. the president says it is up to people to wear a mask. watch the president say that. watch press secretary jen psaki slam courts for making health decisions. watch this. reporter: should people continue to wear masks on planes? president biden: that's up to them. >> public health decisions shouldn't be made by the courts. they should be made by public health experts. so again i can't, not getting ahead of the department of justice. elizabeth: okay. you know, supreme court should not have upheld obamacare? courts should not have upheld medicaid or medicare spending or vaccine mandates? what is saki talking about. >> i have no idea. it certainly doesn't fit with what joe biden just said. the reality courts are supposed to uphold all laws whether a law related to obamacare or related to the border.
6:07 pm
laws are to be respected if they're real laws, not made-up laws with the president. one of the thing we struggled with obamacare doing something we thought was beyond the constitutional reach of congress. elizabeth: what ken just said, congressman, how is it that a mt. can with an executive order circumvent congress when it comes to our national security? now you see a court filing indicating i.c.e. told a federal judge, the white house is expected to release 600,000 illegal aliens into the u.s. interior by the end of september? they may catch-and-release more than 3,000 illegal immigrants from, at the border every day into the u.s. interior. that is quadruple what we're seeing in march. we're seeing thousands of convicted criminals, fugitives and now 42 terrorists caught trying to cross. so how can the president circumvent congress on national security here? >> well, liz, there are a variety of, you know, we have the separated government and the separation of powers and
6:08 pm
responsibilities. it takes a long time for courts to catch up with a lawless president. at the end of the day, i hate to say it, the reason impeachment is in the constitution because sometimes president refuse faithfully to execute laws as they are required to do under the constitution. if there is any clearer case this president erased southern border to detriment of states all over the country it is joe biden final word, congressman comer, ken paxton, james comer on house oversight, he said we send active military troops to the border, quite the decision to do that. drug and human traffickers control the border now. we have to put an end to it. what do you say to that? >> well i think he is right. there is no doubt the cartels control the border. i don't think anybody questions that. much they're moving as many people here as possibly they can get their hands on, and moving as many drugs they can possibly
6:09 pm
get their hands on from china. nice for any help from the federal government, u.s. military or its border patrol. just let them do their jobs protecting our border. we'll take that. elizabeth: congressman dan bishop, ken paxton, thanks for joining us. good to see you. this bombshell report, a whistle-blower claims president biden owes more than $120,000 in back taxes. tax pros are debating this did he murky tax moves hide hunter biden's business deals? we talk with a former staffer. white house bad message something falling down the stairs and and out the front stoop. bide's energy policy is more like building back badly. we'll dig with that in "the evening edit" with larry kudlow. >> will he cut taxes to ease the burden of inflation? will he unleash domestic production of oil and gas to reduce prices at the pump?

"wall street journal" reporting
6:14 pm
that saudi arabia told the white house, no, we're not going to pump more oil. here is what happened. president biden's national security advisor jake sullivan reportedly anger and outraged saudi prince mohammed bin salman i brought up the 2008 killing of kashoggi the journalist in a meeting. we're hearing this, the white house, you know how the white house tapped the strategic oil reserves. now they're sending that oil overseas? phil flynn has the story in chicago. good to see you, phil. >> good being here, liz. this is crazy. you couldn't write a script worse than this. you talk about saudi arabia. traditionally a u.s. ally. many times has risen to the occasion to pump more oil to help us out of a jam. now the relationships are at an all-time low. the biden administration's foreign policy with saudi arabia has been like a bull in a china cabinet. they came in not wanting the to engage the defacto leader, who
6:15 pm
is crown prince bin salman. and because of that, the relations have deteriorated to the point where we have to depend on our strategic petroleum reserves to make up for oil that has been lost by saudi arabia's reluctance to raise production. that is hitting america in a big way. today we got data from the energy information administration that said that almost every barrel of oil that we released from the strategic petroleum reserve which is the fourth largest release from history was exported. in fact, not only did we export oil, liz, we exported record amount of diesel and gasoline to other countries. a lot of the people i'm talking to, it is like, don't we need that at home right now with prices going through the roof? that is not happening. it is going to other places. the biden administration, once again, it will have to answer questions as to their policy and whether it's good for america. elizabeth: wow, great reporting phil. that is quite the eye-opening
6:16 pm
piece of journalism there. good to see you, phil flynn. thanks for the reporting there. joining us fox business host from the "kudlow" show, he is larry kudlow. we love, larry, having you on. larry, when you heard phil flynn, his report there, what was your reaction? >> well, look, i'm a big fan of phil flynn but i think the idea of releasing all this oil from the strategic petroleum reserve is first and foremost a terrible idea. it's not there for political price fixing. it's there for a national security emergency or, you know, a hurricane or something that wipes out texas oil temporarily. now in terms of releasing it overseas, it doesn't really matter. these are world prices of oil. so that, i just don't agree with that particular point of view. the "spro" thing, look, lizzie, you're still, west texas is
6:17 pm
still $103, $102, so it is still very high. brent is about five bucks higher. i don't see any appreciable effect on world oil prices from strategic petroleum reserve. >> right. >> it is just a waste of our emergency resources. regarding, regarding the issue with saudi arabia, look it, couple things, first of all the bidens have treated the saudis very badly in several respects. we not helped them with the up rising in yemen and most importantly we're tilting toward iran. that's the biggest problem. in fact we are incredibly enough, allowing russia to represent us and the other parties in these talks to restart an iranian nuclear deal, which is utter insanity. they lie, they cheat, they steal. there will be no verification. any money, hundreds of billions of dollars could flow to iran as the trump sanctions are lifted and in fact we're supposedly
6:18 pm
going to carve out the russian sanctions, so the russians can build more or bigger nuclear facilities in iran. this is insanity. that is the thing that has got the saudis up in arms. it is also got israelis up in arms. so that's the nutty part of the biden story. elizabeth: we hear you. this is the thing. strategic reserves, you're right, they came up after nixon. they were for crises. they were not for nickel and dime moves literally to lower gas prices and it's a world market in oil. what we're talking about here, larry, is biden's energy policy more like build back badly. the dow federal reserve warning gas will go up a lot because opec cannot fill up the owe oil supply due to capacity constraints. the question why isn't biden opening the spying got spigots ? president said this. president biden: driving on
6:19 pm
those roads, 700 miles, need repair cost new hampshire drivers at least an average of $476 a year extra in gas, repairs, longer commute times. that's a 476-dollar hidden tax on new hampshire drivers. elizabeth: you know, larry, this may be the closest bidencares about economic growth and prosperity, what is happening to u.s. pocketbooks, that sound bite. his latest economic report, i think it doesn't really even talk about inflation. what do you think? >> look, this is just such baloney. come on, biden is such baloney. first of all, his administration, the white house, just put out these new nepa permitting rules which will basically, because of the environmental restrictions layer, after layer, they have completely reversed trump's reform of nepa. so, you're not going to see any
6:20 pm
drilling, you're not going to see any pipelines, you are not going to see any increase in bridges and roads and tunnels and highways, okay? i want to emphasize this point. i don't think it has gotten enough attention. they are layering on endangered species, clean air, clean water, the cumulative effects of the social costs of carbon. this goes back a century, forward a century. the way they're trying to measure this thing. it is all phony baloney. nothing has changed. biden may open up a tiny slice of leasing on federal lands but they won't grant the permits. elizabeth: that's it. >> to do the leasing. >> that's right. >> everybody knows. elizabeth: that's it. >> he is still governed, he is still being governed by the radical left enviros in the white house and throughout the administration. i mean honestly they're putting
6:21 pm
out these new nepa permitting instructions which will, by the way, it will completely subvert the so-called infrastructure bill, the 1.2 trillion. although that -- elizabeth: let's stay on that for a second because the imf, larry, warning energy an inflation costs will rise to quote, intolerable levels worldwide. even former obama treasury advisor steven rattner, in morning times op owed, he said the president's $1.9 trillion plan go down in history as skyrocketing inflation. they're all over the map on this, larry. your final word. >> look, i will say steve rattner got it right one time in in a row, good for him. he is exactly right. you can't keep borrowing and printing money this is not putin's inflation this is biden's inflation.
6:22 pm
we're nowheres near the peak of inflation. we're in a stagflation position, liz. it will not end well next couple years. that is about all i can see. you want to get down, bring gasoline prices down? criminal, drill, drill, permit, permit, permit. okay. pipeline, pipeline, pipeline. the bidens won't do it because of these radical notions. and here's the last point, it's not only so bad that they wanted to destroy fossil fuels. they have no alternative strategy, okay. elizabeth: right. >> windmills and solar is not an alternative strategy and -- elizabeth: it's not. >> the only thing that's good about this whole story, liz mcdonald, the calvary is coming and things are going to change. elizabeth: midterm elections. you're right, policy fell down the stairs and out the front stoop out into the street with this white house. listen, if i can get you to laugh about inflation, i'm happy, larry. larry kudlow you're terrific. come back soon.
6:23 pm

6:27 pm
christopher jacobs, the ceo, founder of political consulting firm juniper research group. chris, good to have you on. thanks for joining us. you were a long-time capitol hill staffer. you worked on the powerful script economic committee. you were a health policy analyst. you filed a whistle-blower complaint to the irs calling investigation into president biden and his accountant over biden's taxes. why do you say biden owes back taxes? >> that is exactly right, liz. joe biden deliberately underpaid his salary in 2017 and 2018. he used a loophole ironically enough biden administration and treasury department want to get rid of entirely. he not only used the loophole but abused the loophole. he declared most of his income of books and speech royalties as corporate profits rather than salary to avoid paying payroll taxes on this and he did so in a way not consistent, with, i
6:28 pm
don't believe consistent with the irs guidelines on reasonable compensation that small business owners have to pay themselves. elizabeth: so he is routing i think for 2017, 2018 more than $13 million through these s, these shell corporations to dodge the 3.8% medicare tax on income? i think jim banks says he owes half a million. so, because he has done that, you know, it is ironic because i think you've also pointed out that president biden claimed that quote obamacare is personal to me. it was a big blanking deal. now he is trying to avoid obama care, medicare taxes. you say there is an actual violation of the law. can you explain it? >> correct. congressman banks said essentially, joe biden should owe half a million dollars if he paid all of his $13 million as salary, as wages, as salary wages instead of corporate
6:29 pm
profits. i took a more conservative approach saying that he violated the law, because he underpaid his salary. using this loophole at all is certainly hypocritical. the part in terms of the legal perspective is, he underpaid his salary. elizabeth: underreported what his salary was, right? he basically underreported -- >> correct. elizabeth: i hear you. the gop saying they're going to investigate biden's taxes if they take back control of congress. you're right, he campaigned on closing tags loopholes. he is talking about everyone paying their fair share. watch nancy pelosi slam trump voters here. watch this. >> in the '90s the republicans used that money, big-time money, to win the elections. they weren't supposed to really because that's not, it is not political money but it was messaging money. so it was a way to protect the financial assets of the rich and
6:30 pm
it still is endless money, endless money. now i don't paint all of those very wealthy people as racist, anti-semites and whatever trumpian, that is how they vote. elizabeth: so she's saying trump voters are racist and anti-semitic. this is next level hillary clinton deplorable stuff. they did things like set up foundations which democrats have done. this is nancy pelosi rhetoric. now she is going for the jugular, right? because the democrats could lose the midterms. get back to what you're saying. the issue is, we don't know whether the bid where the biden es got the 13 million in in income. do we know if it came in from hunter biden. >> we have some press reports that the biden es received a 8 million-dollar book advance. whether or not the book publisher overpaid the bidens
6:31 pm
who knows. certainly that is an issue. that is an issue congress should investigate. congress should also investigate joe biden not paying his taxes. congress should investigate, republican congress next year should investigate why the irs decided to audit donald trump in the years before he became president but decided not to audit joe biden even though you had these stories publicly questioning his tactics? is there political partisanship at the irs? is lois lerner making decisions about what politicians to audit? that is something republicans should look into as well. elizabeth: we do not want political targeting by the irs. listen if we have time to joe biden talk about how he was one of the poorest guys in congress. watch this. president biden: i'm so tired of trickle-down economics. i never found it trickled down on my head very much. i was listed, had the great pleasure being listed as poorest man in congress for 36 years. i still making a hell lot more money anybody else because i was
6:32 pm
getting a senator's salary. no kidding. i don't think you should make money while in office. elizabeth: people by the way don't like trickle down government. let me back up. if hunter biden is paying loan debt or paying any debt this brings back the hillary clinton and bill clinton whitewater scandal. because if you are in constructive receipt of income, in other words loan is forgiven or paid off, you have to report that on your tax return as income. so they may have a whole hornet's nest of problems here involving what hunter biden is doing paying for biden's expenses. yeah he had a negative net word. worth. at one point, decade ago. he is buying a lot of big houses, we're hearing reports that hunter is paying for his expenses and if it is 13 million, you're saying eight million dollar book advance, don't know about the swing of five million in the shell company biden set up. we don't know if it is from jill biden's speeches or books whatever. your final word. >> sure there is a lot of
6:33 pm
corruption between hunter biden and joe biden. i think it iron i can middle class joe wasn't paying fair share around avoiding taxes what was he doing? spending 2.7 million on a beach house in rehope beth, delaware and 2,000 square foot mansion outside of washington. putting his mansions over funding about the h medicare. what a bunch of malarkey. elizabeth: chris jacobs, good to have you on. good to see you. sudden outbreak of democrat family members cashing in on democrat power and their seats in congress. maxine waters, ilhan omar, nancy pelosi, now congressman james clyburn. we have the story next on "the evening edit".

6:37 pm
elizabeth: joining me congressman byron donalds, from house oversight. we always love having you on. what is with the outbreak of democrats letting family members cash an in on democrat power and
6:38 pm
seats in congress? top democrat james clyburn, fox digital is reporting this. paid out more than $200,000 in campaign funds to five family members. this is according to fec records to a shell company controlled by a daughter, son-in-law, dozens of payments to another daughter, another son-in-law. another grandson on the payroll? >> well, let me say this, obviously this is something that looks a little peck cure peculiar needs more sunlight, family members working on the campaign. shouldn't be much of a problem. issue they're getting checks from the campaign, doing nothing, that is where a real problem is. but this is nothing compared to what is going on with hunter biden and joe biden. hunter biden was trading on his father's name to cut deals in the energy sector with china and with russia, with no expertise in energy whatsoever. the only reason he was allowed
6:39 pm
at the table because he is joe biden's sown. elizabeth: we got to get back to this. congressman clyburn's family members, getting paid for voter outreach, truck rental. elizabeth warren took a shot at nancy pelosi in an op-ed, we should have a ban on stock trading in congress. nancy pelosi's husband made millions of dollars in stock trades as pelosi has insider seat on legislation affects stocks. senator elizabeth warren is going after nancy pelosi and that. we're talking democrat maxine waters, ilhan omar. congressman, democrat hayes of connecticut. there is a lot here. i mean, you know, maxine waters has put her daughter on a campaign payroll for nearly two decades. paid her more than $1.2 million for campaign managing services. these services not a lot of politicians use. it is kind of skirting against the boundaries, edges of what is
6:40 pm
ethical, congressman? >> look only thing i want to say, if somebody is actually doing the work, in a campaign, whether it is canvasing, whatever the case might be, those all may be in bounds. what i'm trying to say, i will not put them on the same level as something associated with hunter biden, or even with nancy pelosi's husband making millions of dollars in stock trades. because the concern with stock trading that there is inside information, members of congress do have that we do get, that is, looking likes incredibly shady, considering the fact that they have made millions of dollars on these stock transactions. i made my position very clear, members of congress and spouses should not be trading stocks. if we own stock positions our financial advisors or stockbrokers should be ones to initiate trades. not members and spouses directly. elizabeth: representative ilhan omar, made out nearly three million dollars to her husband for his political consulting firm. should federal election laws say, you've got to put out those
6:41 pm
contracts to multiple bids, not single source bids especially if it involves family members? >> well, i have no problem if it is going out to multiple bids. i think that is an appropriate thing to do. i think, elizabeth, the thing we always have to remember, if you're working and you can do the work, and it has been proven to do the work, as long as that has been happening but -- elizabeth: you're an insider. if a cushy, cozy relationship because you're an insider? >> i actually disagree with you. elizabeth: should be arms length transaction if it involves campaign donations. it doesn't seem fair. seems like skirting ethical boundaries, your final word, congressman. >> i have been clear. as long as you've been doing the work things should be okay. you have to prove you're doing the work. that is the issue that has to get cleaned up. >> congressman donald thanks for being on. first time we mixed it up. >> it is all good. elizabeth: people are angry and frustrated in california as

by the u.s. constitution because how essential it is or at least used to be. federal employees assaulted, police don't have the resources because they're bankrupted, they arrest perps released by woke prosecutors like gas con. one of my new neighbors said was former prosecutor. it wasn't worth it anymore. he spent decades trying to put bad people behind bars, put bad people, protect good people from being murdered. he is not being rewarded. we know the results of these ideas. we tried this before in the '60s, '70s of the united states. the result was '80s, '90s, all the heck we went there as a country. we tried it before. it doesn't work. people may have a good idea to empty prisons every time this happens we end up with more people. elizabeth: chris bedford. great to have you on. come back soon. the opioid pandemic is getting worse. white house no plans to stop it. flow of fentanyl quad grouped under president biden.

ae geng to t to uatesat eattleenee cle of ofy danyger,ye ed udentie aircraft in the air space of the capitol, evacuations out of abundance of caution but now the emergency order, the capitol is fine right now, everything clear. lee zeldin, congressman, good to have you on. let's talk about the flow of fentanyl, quadruple across the border hunter biden versus trump. the d.a. said is enough to kill every american, what is your thoughts? >> this is huge, people are just not just focus on the individuals who come across our border illegally but also the things that come across, fentanyl is right there at the top of the list. when we talk about border security, ways to enter the united states, we see human and labor trafficking, drug and arms trafficking, it comes in other forms while we have been dealing for a long time, heroin overdose
6:56 pm
in our country, is a higher loss of life and if we don't bring tighter controls to our border, he will only see the amount of fentanyl increasing and that is one of the other reasons why the title 42 debate is important. elizabeth: is also killing teens and children. parents are outraged and upset there's so much heartbreak across the country because teen overdose death by fentanyl are hitting historic highs so where's the outrage over that? >> that has been for me the hardest part of serving in congress, going to funerals for these young boys and girls, young men and women have lost their life early because of this. this is something where there has been progress in congress over the years, different administrations and comprehensive addiction and recovery act getting past toward the end of the obama

administration, hr six was passed during the trump administration and focusing on prevention rehabilitation, deterrence and education, this is all important but what we need to go all in conquering is this issue of border security, our nation doesn't have a strong border. if you don't enforce your rule of law you are without a backbone and even without a country, a nation without borders is no nation at all and was coming across the southern borders not just individuals but it's the fentanyl killing our kids which is why we should be investing in increased security at our border, backing up border patrol agents and making sure the ramp up interior enforcement. unfortunately you see the preference by the white house and biden administration ignore this problem, not confronted head on, it's inconvenient to the narrative politically for domestic politics they want to push their poll numbers so they
6:58 pm
are trying to wish it away where what they need to do is trickle down and ramp up border security, we just don't see that right now. elizabeth: now we have this new opioid, 500 times stronger than morphine. narcan does not work against this dangerous synthetic drug. you got the media downplaying president biden on this, a biden border collapse. watch this. >> there are small things he can do, small steps he can make but is the nature of the american system when things go wrong people look to the white house say what can the president do about it? sometimes there's not much, now you have a lot of people who want to come in and the question is how can president biden deal with that? lifting some trump restrictions or announcing he's lifting some
6:59 pm
trump restrictions and is likely to increase the flow but that's just the problem that there's not a lot the president can do to manage. elizabeth: what is john talking about? the border collapse precisely because joe biden undid trump border policies with executive orders, what was with that word salad? >> is started on day one of the biden administration and no one will come up with a good answer to explain what he was talking about, we know what he's trying to do providing excuses. the president should go to the border where influx is the greatest. listen to the local border patrol agents and elected officials and community leaders. when the president of the united states shows up at the border with all these other issues in our country and around the world, media will be talking about this issue with a focus all day on all stations. elizabeth: the president has never been there, he never went.
7:00 pm
