"the evening edit" starts now. ♪. elizabeth: happening now, stocks drop to lows not seen in more than a year. there are fears of a recession on wall street and the white house is now accused of too little too late on things like inflation, economy and on condemning threats from roe v. wade protests. they're waiting to speak out only after offices for pro-life group are set on fire. this is happening as the opinion is not even out yet. all this as the midterms are just six month away. joining us tonight, congressman dan bishop, rick crawford, federalist editor-in-chief, mollie hemingway, former facebook official, tara

frederick, and we've got former federal prosecutor jim trusty, fox news contributor deneen borelli, former dhs acting deputy chief of staff lora ries. reports coming in the tomorrow the president will blame inflation on gop. after blaming it on putin the pandemic, claiming inflation is just transitory. prices are wiping out your wage grains and biden's polls. we have elon musk free speech fight in his take over of twitter. the billionaire tweeting today, twitter, quote obviously has a left-wing bias. the left is up in arms. both democrat and gop lawmakers plan biden's move to cancel student loan debt is unfair to middle class an blue color workers who do not have college tuition or degree or college. this, roadblock in special counsel john durham's investigation of hillary clinton trump russia. we've got the story. the fight for free speech.
6:02 pm
dhs mayorkas is doubling down. he picks d.c. insiders to advise biden's new disinformation board. the same insiders who downplayed the hunter biden laptop story as russian disinformation. yet another loss in court for the white house in biden's border crisis, revealing biden's policy shop in chaos. i'm elizabeth macdonald of the evening edit starts right now. ♪ elizabeth: welcome to the show. you're watching the fox business network. we begin with all the major indices ending down t was a broad tech selloff. bond yields spiking to a 3 1/2-year high. s&p is breaking down below 4,000 for the first time since march of last year. the nasdaq drops below 12,000. that is the lowest since november of 2020. investors fear federal reserve raising interest rates going to hurt economic growth and potentially trigger a recession. we have this too. activists now gearing up for a
6:03 pm
week of protests nationwide over roe v. wade, after a weekend of marching on the homes of justices john roberts and brett kavanaugh. reports that justice alito has moved to a secret location. we have protests planned outside of his home tonight. this as president biden will lay out his plan tomorrow to fight inflation as his poll numbers continue to drop. edward lawrence is in washington with more. edward. reporter: liz, inflation has wiped out the wage gains. in fact average hourly wages have gone up 5.5% in the past 12 months but inflation at 8 1/2%. so people are actually losing ground. the head of committee for a responsible federal budget says if interest rates go up not only will the economy slow but interest payments will eat into the federal budget. >> all the years, people say look, interest rates are low, we should be borrowing more, this is why that is not true. we have the credit card teaser rate situation where the effect on our overall budget will be
6:04 pm
very painful and we were already in difficult shape. reporter: i asked the white house press secretary by a slowing economy. where is the concern about recession? >> we monitor it. we're continuing to. we're not predicting that at this point in time. reporter: republicans say president biden's policies cause this. >> we're seeing highest inflation in 40 years. that is a different measurement than we used to use 40 years ago. this is core inflation which doesn't deal directly with food and energy. every single day we need food and energy. it is making it harder and harder on american folks out there. the american solution push for more spending. tomorrow he will lay out again his plan to handle inflation. liz. elizabeth: edward lawrence. thanks so much. good to see you. joining us congressman dan bishop from house judiciary, along with mollie hemingway, great writer, editor-in-chief of "the federalist," fox news contributor. thanks for spending time to join us. congressman, first to you, how will protests turn out the vote for democrats in the midterm?
6:05 pm
police are investigating who set on fire the headquarters after pro-life group in madison, wisconsin. it was vandalized after it was burnt by a molotov cocktail and a threat to burn down churches in new york city as well. >> liz, i wouldn't think that would be helpful to everyone. i thought message of january 6th, certainly republicans opposed to violence on capitol hill. violence like that in wisconsin. i also remember being in front of the, in the judiciary committee with the attorney general there having called out fbi agents across the country to talk about parents intimidating and harassing school boards. what about intimidating and harassing justices? i'm not sure what's up here but i'm not sure there is consistency of thought. elizabeth: what the congressman is saying, molly, is this. the congressman is also saying wasn't it supposed to be the unifying biden presidency? >> oh, it is just amazing
6:06 pm
joe biden has still not said anything about these protests done by his supporters which are attacks on supreme court justices houses, threats made against them, threats against pro-life centers, violence at churches. he has not called them out, specifically not called them out by name and he doesn't seem to indicate any plans to do so. jen psaki did sort of try to walk back from her support of these threats and attacks on thee these institutions, saying technically you shouldn't break the law but you're not seeing pushback you would expect of responsible people and why would you? of course chuck schumer himself has threatened justices kavanaugh and gorsuch. he did that on the steps of the supreme court in spring of 2020. demand justice, one of these groups that spent a billion dollars to get joe biden elected and worked hard on the nomination of the latest justice to be confirmed, they are not decrying this at all.
6:07 pm
they're supporting attacks and protests. it is very bad such high level people are supporting these threats against some of our most important institutions. elizabeth: pick up what mollie just said, we don't have high level democrats condemning what's going on. we went through the 2020 riots, congressman? where it wasn't about petitioning the court and using reason and logic for your arguments. it was about burning down the courts. >> that's right and you know, to mollie's point the first words from the podium at the white house were, let's face it, they were a tacit endorsement of the idea of going to the hopes of justices to intimidate them. that is an extraordinary position for the white house podium, press room to take for any moment and, it is just, i think it is unforgivable and it's a, it is the wrong kind of leadership once again from this white house. elizabeth: historically only one out of seven younger voters turn
6:08 pm
out to vote in the midterm years. so, mollie it is still out there whether or not democrats can actually use roe v. wade to get younger voters out. are they going to try to convince voters that they're paying double for gallon of gas and at the grocery store and forget about crime and biden's border crisis? >> truth that people tend to be most excited about the topic of abortion and vote on it are actually pro-life. the idea the supreme court finally returning abortion jurisprudence, returning abortion debates to the people and their elected representatives that is a very popular position. that is something that the country has been working towards, fighting very hard for decade. politically there is advantage to, it gives excitement, i don't think conservative voters are used to getting many wins. getting a win at a time like this when they're excited to vote for other reasons, it could
6:09 pm
make things quite important but as you note, i think a lot of voters are just wondering about inflation, wondering about prices, whether they can afford their groceries and gas prices and to be told that they should instead care about this issue where they're actually on different side anyway, i don't think that is going to work anyway. elizabeth: gallop polls show voters care most about the economy. let's listen to senator ron johnson on this. let's cue up former president trump on this, and if we can, let's put senator ted cruz at the back end of the sound bite montage. watch this. >> there are not jobs being created. they are jobs being filled. i don't know the exact number, five to 10, 11 million jobs are unfilled. >> under biden four million people have not returned to the labor force. real wages declined 12 months in a row and the economy suck. >> putting socialists in charge of the economy is really bad for the economy and it's really bad for working men and women. it means galloping inflation.
6:10 pm
the cost of everything goes up. cost of electricity, the cost of lumber, the cost of rent, the cost of buying your home. the cost of buying a car. and as we all know the cost of gasoline. well at the white house correspondents' dinner he laughs away wearing his tuxedo. you know what? biden doesn't pay for the fuel on air force one. nancy pelosi doesn't pay for the fuel on the private jet that takes her back and forth to san francisco. john kerry doesn't pay for the fuel on his private jet as he travels the world lecturing everyone that they need to consume less. elizabeth: congressman, there is also this, biden's small business budget, right, for the small business administration, it talks about climate change more than 20 times. it makes no mention much -- of inflation. >> that is exactly right, liz. what you're seeing in the montage you played, something we
6:11 pm
see over and over again, biden is out of touch and clueless. remember when inflation was transitory? remember his state of the union address when he said the way to resolve inflation is just don't have your costs go up? i talked to a landscape business owner today, talking about his fuel cost being up 2 1/2 times, so forth. the people are getting crushed. elizabeth: yeah. >> they're fed up. elizabeth: mollie, final word. >> well, i think inflation is the biggest political threat to democrats because it is the one thing that can't be spun away. people know that prices are rising because they deal with it every day at the grocery store, every day at the gas pump. no amount of media cover up or spin can hide the fact. elizabeth: congressman bishop, mollie hemingway, you guys are terrific. thanks for joining us. fight for free speech, we have more on elon musk's plan to overhaul twitter. the billionaire rattled the internet with a mysterious tweet about his potential demise. his mother was upset about it. quite a moment we're having here

6:16 pm
revenue to 10 billion by 2028. of. he wants to double more than double twitter user. he is going at it. kelly o'grady with more in los angeles. kelly? reporter: great to see you, liz. turns out a lot of people want to work at twitter. daily clicks on job postings rose 263% according to glass door data, even though some inside are not thrilled with the pending takeover. musk giving an indication he will double down on software engineering, information security and design. a leaked pitch, after slashing headcount twitter would hire in those areas and reach over 11,000 employees by 2025. that is up from 7500 today but elon shared a warning with current and potential staff, tweeting quote, also work expectations would be extreme but much less than i demand of myself. that is because musk will need to make good on promises to equity investors. while the social platform raked in 5.1 billion last year, he is forecasting to quintuple revenue
6:17 pm
to 26.4 billion by 2028. that is a huge jump. the billionaire is known for missing his targets. it won't be without opposition. now you can add the russians. the kremlin threatening to hold the billionaire accountable for providing starlink terminals to ukrainian military. musk tweeting, quote, if i die under mysterious circumstances. back to you, liz. elizabeth: kelly, thank you. not just doubling but quintupling. wow. joining us former facebook official kara frederick. you're with the heritage foundation. he is tweeting out, cara, musk musk is saying that twitter is known for its left-wing bias. he is not, he is not standing down. he is taking the fight right to it. >> good for him. you know is expressing a lan to go back to the basics. he wants to go back to what silicon valley was successful at in the beginning, like kelly said. info second. engineering design, technical
6:18 pm
excellence. if he had this happen before at a different company called coinbase. that is a crypto exchange. they said stop with the politics. stop with the activism. we have a mission here. we need to accomplish this. so, if elon's goal is to quintuple the revenue, then i think the best way to do it is get back to the basics. this should be a wake-up call to his workforce? is a good thing. elizabeth: is it a wake-up call for those who oppose them. groups backed by george soros, obama, clinton officials, pressuring giant american brands like coca-cola and disney to boycott twitter. he has to battle biden's new disinformation czar. >> exactly. this is what the left does. the left goes after the advertisers for people whose ideology they don't like. or people who maybe just believe in free expression. we've seen this happen again and again with companies like the daily wire, with other companies that maybe don't subscribe to the prevailing leftist ideology or narrative. so the left is doing this.
6:19 pm
russia is doing this. he is in everyone's cross-hairs. he is taking slings and arrows from all sides but he is being a good sport bit. elon prevails. that is what he does. he is an intrepid guy. he will shake this off. never good to have a russian official target you. at the same time he is the richest man in the world. shows no fear so far. i have hope he keeps going. >> elon musk lit up the internet that he wrote a chilling post on twitter about dying under mysterious circumstances. his mother said, that is not funny. this happened on mother's day. russia space chief threatened musks. he didn't like that, he will be accountable for sending to ukraine starlink satellite internet equipment. that is musk's use of satellite for internet. so russia can't black out ukraine from the internet. he is not standing down across the board. >> yeah, as others have said.
6:20 pm
elon belongs to no man. if he sends internet to ukrainians under siege by russia he will do it. i don't think the bluster after russian official will change his mind. he is protected by his wealth, his brain, his idea, his plans going forward. i don't think they will succeed intimidating him. clearly he has taken to twitter to laugh it off. elizabeth: nor is the new disinformation board going to intimidate elon musk. the fcc commissioner is slamming that too. saying this new information board is un-american. watched what happened with bartiromo today. watch this. >> paraphrase justice scalia, sometimes the threats to our liberty come dressed up in sheep's clothing but this wolf comes as a wolf. this is orwellian, this is un-american, it is unconstitutionnal.
6:21 pm
elizabeth: cara, why do we need a disinformation board? we spend billions and billions of dollars every year tens of thousands of public affairs officers inside of the federal government and they do topspin all the time. why do we need this new board. >> the quick answer is, we don't n a matchup between elon and nina jankowicz i will take elon every day. commissioner carr is right. this is un-american. this is orwellian. as rand paul said with the hearing with mayorkas, the u.s. government is the biggest purveyor of disinformation. we don't need them to be the arbiter of truth. it hasn't worked out for facebook. it hasn't worked out for twitter and it will not work out for the u.s. government. elizabeth: kara, always a pleasure to have you on. come back soon. another white house misfire, canceling student loan debt. both democrat and gop lawmakers they don't like this. this could cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars in higher taxes. including for students for all
6:22 pm
the blue-collar workers who did not get a college degree. we have the story next on "the evening edit." >> to allow people greater grace to pay off the debt at slower pace or interest on federal loans on that, may be one thing but telling people will wipe this out, you signed paperwork that havepay this back, that is a whole issue for me. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do.

6:26 pm
elizabeth: okay the president's plan to cancel student loan debt, it is hitting a wall of resistance for being unfair to middle class and blue-collar workers who did not go to college and enable universities to increase their costs as they usually do after federal subsidies. president hoped to get the youth vote on this. looks like it is backfiring. hillary vaughn is here. reporter: canceling student loan debt according to democrats would cost nothing and all it would take the stroke of the president's pen to get it done. >> i think he has the authority to do it. i would support for forgiveness of limited debt. reporter: lawyers and economists say lawmakers are wrong about both of those things. economist tee for responsible budget, said even small scale, targeting student debt cancellation would cost taxpayers $230 billion. 70% of the money could would do
6:27 pm
people who don't need it. >> i think it's a crazy idea. we don't need it. reporter: in a leaked memo, education department lawyer said sweeping student loan cancellation by executive order may not be legal. saying this executive branch does not have unilateral authority to engage in massive student debt cancellation. legal or not, free or not, some progressive democrats are pushing to get this done before the midterm elections. liz. elizabeth: that is really terrific report. hillary. >> thank you so much. welcome back to the show, congressman rick crawford. always a pleasure having you on. what is the reaction to that report? >> administration wants to make suckers out of those who pay student loans. that is ridiculous notion, somehow you wave a magic wand, somehow the problem will go away. the approach you will give amnesty to correct the immigration problem. we'll correct the student loan problem by forgiving all the
6:28 pm
debt at all. elizabeth: watch "the view" guest host here is going to confront senator elizabeth warren on unfairness of wiping out student loans. i think we have got sound from bill maher on hbo here to. watch this. >> i've been percently advocating for the president to cancel student loan debt, only 13% of the americans even have federal student loan debt s this really the best way to reach most voters? are what do you say to someone like me who worked two jobs for a decade paying off all the student loans, just finished, where do i signed up for reimbursement? >> let's start out with who has student loans today. about 40% of the folks with student loans don't have a college diploma. the folks who tried. they are folks who tried and life happened. >> a lot of people are saying this is a loser issue. we democrats have labs, two labs actually, one in berkeley and one in brooklyn where we come up with ideas to completely piss
6:29 pm
off the working class. elizabeth: that's it, right? , i understand what senator warren is saying about some people quit college but this gets real personal real fast. everybody else who paid off their loans or about people who do not want to buy a four-year degree and did not do that they were trained as plumbers, as steamfitters, as pipe fitters, electricians, do they get their debt forgiven? >> exactly. what do you tell the truckers, those beauticians, barbers, plums, you mentioned, electricians, carpenters, providing valuable service to our economy you don't matter. what matters pay off people with degrees in english lit at that rush. nothing wrong with a english literature degree. 1/3 of americans 25 and above, paying for college degree holders, many are advanced degrees like law degrees or medical degrees. we're not even talking about,
6:30 pm
she says life happens. so some of these people didn't even finish happen. what about life happening to the doctors who incurred all kind of debt so they can go to medical school, will we wave a wand to make that go away? how is that going to work? elizabeth: what about forcing universities to lower tuition costs first? >> there you go. elizabeth: they're always in lockstep with these colleges. there ought toby rack eitherring lawsuit against these collegessing how they're raising tuition costs. you would have more success teaching a cat to bark getting these guys to stop with tuition gouging? >> it's a business enterprise. it is in their interest, continue to raise. every time you raise the student loan raise, you see about a 60 to 90% increase in college tuition rates. statistics are ridiculous. it is in their interest to see this continuation of student loan and now if they had to front-load that themselves, say, we're not going to allow for the
6:31 pm
payment of student loan debt until you have reached these metrics of success. that is until you passed this class, we're not being reimbursed for that. but they're getting paid on the front end. they don't care whether you graduate or not. they're continuing to make that money. elizabeth: seems like a way to get the vote, right? it is use of taxpayer money to buy votes. that is how it feels. your final word? >> look you want to go to the root cause. so the universities do play a role in this. we need to curtail costs. as i said before, you want the root cause before you wave a wand to make all these problems go away. this will only make things worse with this mass debt loan forgiveness. elizabeth: congressman crawford, always a pleasure. come back soon. we're combing out of the the bottom out of the hour. you're watching the fox business network. you have loss in court, yet another court loss from the president on the border crisis. over biden's catch-and-release policy. we have a roadblock in special counsel john durham's

6:36 pm
>> let's welcome back to the show. we love this guy, he is a straight hoot shooter, former federal prosecutor jim trusty. what is the fall out on this. let me break it down. federal judge of criminal case of hillary clinton's campaign lawyer michael sussman, he is charged with lying to the fbi. the judge said in this specific trial durham's team cannot talk about whether hillary's campaign and her democrat allies conducted a wide-ranging joint venture, a conspiracy to push hillary's trump russia and eventually into the media. is that what is going on? is that what is happening right now? >> well, yes and no. we've talked before, liz, how some of these evidentiary issues are basically rabbit holes where if the prosecution wants to go
6:37 pm
really deep into rodney joffe or the hillary clinton campaign they're getting further afield from the simple false statement charge they put on the table. this judge is playing gatekeeper trying to figure out how much context do i let in with the government case and defense case and how much do i keep them from running down rabbit holes. he limited idea we'll hear about hillary, how much we'll hear about rodney joffe, people he was working with to data mine. i don't think this is a bad thing for the prosecution. this is not a ringing loss. this is a moment for the judge saying keep it lean, keep it tight to the evidence for what matters to a false statement case. that is pretty good reminder of prosecution team which seems intent going down these rabbit holes. frankly, liz, rabbit holes create reasonable doubt. you might be compelled to put it on but it is not always helpful for a prosecutor. elizabeth: judge is saying where you go with that direction, it's
6:38 pm
a distraction. it would confuse the jury. durham's team alleges michael sussman, hillary's campaign lawyer at perkins coie lied to the fbi that he was covering up working for the clinton campaign, pushing the doj and fbi looking into the trump russia alfa bank story. does this stop durham from laying out a future conspiracy charge against hillary and her team? >> not for a minute. that is a great fact to bring out, liz. that is why i enjoy being with you too on these shows. you pick out the most important facts. this is not a limit where he goes. if he will still go after politicized fbi leadership for snooping around during the trump campaign, if he will go after hillary rodham clinton or people close to her, pedaling a false story, creating and peddling a false story. none of them have a lick of difference to it. that big question is till to come but for the trial the judge
6:39 pm
says hey you charged false statement, not conspiracy. keep it tight. get it over quickly. i think that is a good moment for the prosecution. elizabeth: why did durham want to introduce emails and other documents, he got a truckload of them, showing the clinton team was you know, ginning up this conspiracy? why did he wants to introduce that information into this trial? >> well, i think he was probably thinking it's all negative towards sussman of the more you can show of this backstory of just how flagrantly they were lying about russian collusion, the dirtier sussman looks, for shopping this story to the fbi and maybe to the cia but i think it is kind of a marginal effect. the judge basically said, look, there is a whole bunch of backstory stuff about rodney joffe and data mining and clinton campaign. if you can't tie it directly to sussman's knowledge when he made the false statement, we don't want to go that far. almost diminishing returns on some level when you start to go
6:40 pm
that far down the rabbit hole for a little bit more damage against sussman. elizabeth: this isn't over by any means? just with the sussman trial? when this concludes that will have a lot of legs to it? >> i'm sorry. i think the sussman trial -- elizabeth: go ahead. >> i think the sussman trial i'm having a little audio feed problem. i think trial will be much more directed about sussman. there will still be moments to shed light what the clinton campaign did and how academics are willing to data mine to help get to this false story. the big issue is out there, whether or not he will go to other buckets of potential departments and other -- elizabeth: there is lot to go into. journalist matt taibbi pointed out, the clinton campaign planted false stories, alpha business, trump hotel sex tape that carter page was a russian conduit, into the media, into the doj, into the fbi, tried to
6:41 pm
get the cia to go after it. it was fiction. originated as paid opposition research funded by the clinton campaign and the dnc. >> yeah. i mean we're a far cry from opposition research. when you create false, defamatory stories designed to tilt the election in your favor or designed as we have some evidence from, to distract from her own problems. elizabeth: are you saying there is a defamation charge potentially here against hillary? >> oh, sure. i mean you know, look, i don't think donald trump's too shy about litigation. that might be something that is on the horizon for him. elizabeth: he is suing. >> not waiting to see, no reason not to wait or see to see whether durham bring as criminal case, that lands a haymaker anymore than any civil litigant could. elizabeth: jump trusty, thanks for joining us. good to see you. the fight for free speech, we're staying on this for you, dhs secretary mayorkas is doubling down. he is picking d.c. insiders to

elizabeth: joining us now fox news contributor deneen borelli. we always love having you on. okay, your thoughts on this. we have homeland security chief, mayorkas, he is picking d.c. insiders like former dhs secretary michael chertoff to advise biden's new disinformation board. chertoff dismissed hunter biden laptop story as disinformation. other people on the board are saying the same thing. they are set offing that aside. what is your take on this story? >> liz, there isn't anything credible about the people involved with this so-called
6:47 pm
board. you mentioned how they were critical of anything about hunter biden's emails on his laptops and somehow, tried to blame russia for that as well. they should be investigating themselves. we have chertoff, we have jankowicz, leon panetta who was one of 51 who signed a letter along with other intelligence folks downplaying and dismissing the whole hunter email laptop thing. there is no accountability for these individuals. they're a bunch of frauds and unfortunately the media was all too happy to be all-in with this, and not push back, and do their due diligence which is to investigate and provide readers and viewers with the facts and the information. elizabeth: you know, deneen, to your point, biden's disinformation czar, if you want to call her that, nina jankowicz, she is not backing down from her repeated dismissals of the hunter biden laptop as russian

disinformation. the justice department is looking into the laptop as real. cnn, "washington post," "new york times," confirmed the e-mails as real, authenticating them with experts. he is under investigation for his taxes and foreign business dealings, based on information, a lot coming out of the laptop. how can they still double down? >> because they don't care about accountability. they don't care about telling the truth, and the information continues to come out in terms of this laptop which is a gift really. and i hope we find out more info as time goes on. i do hope whatever comes out that hunter biden is held accountable. i mean it is outrageous how all of this time has gone by. this news came out before the presidential election and there are polls out there that said that people would not have supported then candidate joe biden, if they knew about this laptop nonsense. elizabeth: the thing is, it is about using government assets
6:49 pm
that the taxpayers paid for for your own personal gain, using secret service to fly, to get protection as he is going overseas to do business deals for the family. using air force two, the vice president's government airplane, to do deals for the family. on and on. you know, selling access to the biden family name into the state department under obama and other agencies as well. by the way, nina jankowicz still has not criticized twitter or facebook censorship or suppression of the "new york post" hunter biden laptop story before the election. >> don't hold your breath for that one, liz. thank goodness for the "new york post" and for programs such as yours, continue to talk about this, informing people what is going on. believe it or not there are some people who did not know about the hunter biden laptop. i heard about this past weekend. so the news was certainly suppressed with this.
6:50 pm
hopefully more and more information will come out about it. people do need to know. elizabeth: "newsweek" ran an opinion piece by charles lipson this kind of obestin nancy, stubbornness is all mark of the biden white house. they stick with the divisive idealogical driven policies even when they are clear it is not working. issue after issue they are doing it. they drive into a brick wall and back up and ram into it again. your final word. >> everyone's fault except theirs. clearly we need transparency. unfortunately we don't have it with the current administration. >> deneen borelli, great to have you on, come back soon. >> thank you. elizabeth: another lose in court. the white house losing in court on biden's border crisis. a federal judge green-lighted a florida lawsuit against the white house for breaking existing border laws. we're breaking that next on "the evening edit." >> what is concerning me border patrol arrested thousands of

nate foy is at the border in texas with mark. >> good evening, two weeks until title 42 expires. small communities like this are seeing drug smuggling and human smuggling pleading to cases. we have new video of chase's from nearby sheriff's office. look at this traffic stop. he is he a pickup truck pull over initially and after group and parked a few seconds, the driver pulls onto the side of the road and migrant after migrant get out of the pickup truck including the bed of the pickup truck and this is a single deputy, they are overmatched. look at this next video, suv crashes into a tree during a chase and migrants again poor out of the car while police are occupied. here's a deputy talking about the chase's. >> they are pretty bad. we do the best we can for some of these are communities, some of them result in death,

fatalities, serious injuries. >> another issue with the chase's property damage. ranch owners have to pay out-of-pocket fences that are damaged during the chase's. elizabeth: terrific journalism, great reporting, thanks for joining us. how much security deputy laura from a pleasure to have you on. what is your reaction to that report? >> think goodness for texas trying to do what it can operation lone star. for state to sue the biden administration, ignoring the law, florida recently got a good ruling in terms of the biden administration ignoring the law in terms of letting the immigrants go free. the law clearly states it's mandatory but this administration is ignoring the law and secretory mayorkas tax that in both he's transformed

immigration enforcement so as a result, they are not detaining or prosecuting, not deporting. these are the consequences, the flows keep happening. elizabeth: let's stay on this on the border, the federal judge did greenlight the florida lawsuit against biden's white house for breaking existing law, basically catch and release flooding hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants into the country biden took office. that's breaking existing law. the question has been, i'm not going to ask, whether the president could be impeached on this. do you feel violations of the law have been serious and excessive under the white house? >> absolutely, florida should win this case. the biden administration knows by dhs own report detention is the most effective tool to

result in removing aliens with a final order and get they refuse to do it. instead, they released them and say apply for asylum, we will put you into removal proceedings which takes years. the court system has 1.5 million cases pending in the backlog so it gives illegal aliens what they want, a work permit and years here to work and send money home and gain more ties to the u.s. so later they argue you can't deport me and i have too many ties here. elizabeth: the judge on this case rules u.s. laws fairly unambiguously say illegal aliens arriving at the border shall be detained. what's happening is the white house is putting undue burden on the state. >> that's right and this is very expensive for the state.
6:59 pm
for example, texas attorney general estimated $850 million a year for healthcare for illegal aliens. the administration has to take this out account and follow the law in many of these states are winning their cases because the administration is not taking into account what their flouting of the laws are doing. elizabeth: that 8,150,000,000 figure, paid for by u.s. taxpayers, right? >> that's a texas attorney general excavating what texas is paying for illegal immigration -- but multiply that across the states where illegal aliens travel to and it is very expensive. the administration needs to prevent illegal immigration in the first place and they don't arise and taxpayers are left holding the bag. elizabeth: property and state taxes go up.
