dr. marty makary, guy benson, national border patrol council art art del cueto and gop strategist ford o'connell. democrats will launch a embarrassing 10 million-dollar tour to convince you the big law will avoid inflation. trying to do this to avoid midterm wipe out. inflation is rocketing higher, school supplies an groceries are soaring. experts say it will not cut inflation and ramp up irs audits for you. "washington post" calls out yet another false claim by the president. stunning new npr poll, more than half of americans say quote, there is an invasion at the border. remember when trump said that? a shakeup at the cdc it admits it fell dramatically short in the pandemic. i'm elizabeth mcdonald. "the evening edit" starts right
6:02 pm
now. ♪. elizabeth: thanks for joining us. check your money, the three major averages ended slightly higher today. there is still weakness in retail and industrial stocks. there is also big debate over whether the federal reserve sits tight or raises interest rates to contain this 40-year high in inflation. let's get to this. judge reinhart ordered the justice department to unseal portions of the affidavit used in fbi raid of trump's home in florida. ashley webster live from florida with more. ashley, good to see you. reporter: hey, great to see you, lizzie indeed. indeed u.s. magistrate judge bruce reinhart says he believes there are portions of the fbi's affidavit that could be unsealed. it's a document that lays out in fine detail the probable cause that investigators used to persuade that very judge to green light the search of donald trump's home in west palm beach 10 days ago. now the department of justice wants to keep the affidavit
6:03 pm
sealed arguing it deals with highly classified materials and contains the names of witnesses who could become vulnerable to potential threats. attorneys for media outlets argue it is the public's right to know and historicking is cans of the search outweighs any arguments to keep those records sealed but in the end, somewhat surprisingly judge reinhart took the middle ground ordering the government to send him proposed redactions to the affidavit by noon one week from today. the judge says he will review the suggestions and decide whether he agrees. after the hearing one media attorney said, the outcome appears fair. >> i feel good about today's hearing. judge reinhart seemed to have a very good sense that it is his job as the gatekeeper in this case to perform his function of balancing the interests of the public in accessing these materials against the interest of the government keeping them secret. reporter: during this afternoon's hearing the justice
6:04 pm
department stated somewhat surprisingly the investigation into donald trump is still in the early stages. the fbi removed 11 sets of classified documents, some reportedly marked with highest level of secrecy. of course the former president maintains he did absolutely nothing wrong. lizzie? elizabeth: joining us now, good to see you, ashley. thanks for joining us. congressman rick crawford, house intelligence, former doj official, francy hakes. congressman, good to have you on. critics say the doj's case is getting weaker by the hour. they used a national archives document violation to get a fishing expedition on trump. ceo of trump organization pled guilty to 15 counts of tax fraud and tax evasion, he will testify before the january 6th committee. >> yeah. this has been going on long enough. this goes back -- elizabeth: not the january 6th committee. it is in a probe related to the
6:05 pm
trump organization problems with its finances. that is an error. we're clear filing that. what is your reaction, is this a fishing expedition? >> i apologize for coming out being cynical if they say we're considered releasing affidavit, with consideration it will be redacted. of course it will be redacted. there is argument that it will be redacted and there are covering their tracks. i'm not positive they will release the affidavit that may call into question the veracity of the affidavit. we'll find out at some point in time but i doubt it will come out next week as they were, the judge has asked for those comments prior to next week. i don't zare that sense of optimism that we'll know next week what the affidavit says. elizabeth: fancy, we'll be left with more government leaks? >> that is what it lookings like, liz. i won't hope too much for this
6:06 pm
affidavit coming out even in redacted form that it would give us very much information. after all there is a lot of material in an affidavit that has not that much to do with the actual search itself. things like the agent who is swearing out the affidavit, what are their qualifications? how many times have they done similar search warrants? what is the law involved in the statutes that are cited? there could be pages and pages, paragraphs, paragraphs of information that really has nothing much to do with the actual probable cause. i guarranty you doj is going to ask to redact just about everything useful. elizabeth: so you know trump is firing back. he is saying release the whole thing, congressman, and he released a memo he issued on january 19th, 2021s the day before biden was inaugurated to declassify a binder of secret government documents about the fbi's trump-russia investigation, that the doj inspector general said had multiple problems and misconduct in. >> well, keep in mind that the
6:07 pm
presidential records act pretty much gives him authority to declassify anything he wants to which he did. the other thing he has been complying with them. heck he put the lock at their request. he put the lock on the door in mar-a-lago f they wanted it he would have given it to them. he obviously is very forthcoming about releasing the whole affidavit. he apparently doesn't have anything to hide. i would add if there was anything substantive of this we would have a ton of leaks by now stating so. so i really, i don't hold out a whole lot of hope for a revelation in this affidavit. elizabeth: the other thing too, france seen, to the congressman's point we don't know what the probable cause was, to trigger this unprecedented historic raid. trump also ordered declassified government documents in the fbi probe into record violations by hillary clinton. 100 emails with classified information found on her computer at her home. 22 were found top secret.
6:08 pm
2100 of those emails is retroactively designated confidential. let's turn to kimberly strassel. we don't know about nuclear secrets or related to the trump probe. listen to kimberly strassel about this. >> there was a tranche of documents donald trump declassified in the final days were supposedly compilation of worst examples of fbi and intelligence and department of the justice behavior throughout the trump-russia collusion scandal in those agencies. he declassified them. they were supposed to go back to the department of justice which would do some due diligence and release them. they were never released and a lot of people wondered what happened to those documents? i have absolutely no information that has anything to do with this raid. there is a way of saying there is some information, apparently, apparently very important information that the public has still never seen on all of this.
6:09 pm
elizabeth: so fancy, what do you think? legal experts say the documents seized could be used by the federal government as evidence in other probeses, maybe the january 6 capitol rye contract? it is that broad. governments documenting four year tenure of trump's tenure in the white house. this seems it is getting more confusing by the hour. it will not be settled anytime soon, it is just escalating. >> you're right, liz, it is escalating. the really thing important to remember in the hillary clinton case you have a clear double standard i think the american people are waking up to. it is not just a double standard, liz, it is an unconstitutional violation of president trump's rights. everyone has right to equal protection under the law. trump is not getting the same sort of protection under the law that hillary clinton got. with respect to the warrant, you're absolutely right, it is so broad, it is illegally broad in my opinion. it violates the fourth amendment. it allowed them to seize every
6:10 pm
single piece of paper and communication which by the way means phones and computers. we haven't heard about that yet, every single communication during his presidency. every single document during the presidency cannot possibly be evidence of a crime and that is what the fourth amendment requires. the warrant has to specify that each and every single piece of evidence seized is evidence of a crime and it can't possibly be. so it is overbroad and unconstitutional. elizabeth: congressman rick crawford, francy hakes, thanks for coming on the show spending time with us. great insights. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: stunning new npr poll from npr. more than half of americans say quote, there is an invasion at the southern border. absurdity of the democrats launching an expense safe nationwide tour to push the dubious claims that their massive climate spending bill will cut inflation. numerous experts around the block say no it won't.
6:11 pm
media finally waking up to this. congressman jason smith next on "the evening edit." >> when they look at food, energy, shelter, they see prices 11% higher than last year. you can't fool them on that. they know the bill will not do anything. it is just north big government spending bill. ♪. ♪ voltaren. the joy of movement. ♪

we know what we're doing, look at this "the washington post" gave four pinocchios to president biden, said the chips act would create a million jobs, "washington post" found out that the actual number is 6200 jobs. what is going on with all of this? >> this is very typical of the biden administration. they will say one thing, do another. it is, the prime example of the passage of inflation reduction act. it is supposed to reduce inflation. just even the president's, president's speech right before he signing it, only talked about reducing inflation one time. we all know it's a climate bill. it's all about rewarding their political friends, allies, donors and does nothing about reducing inflation. it's a come meet lie that bill reduces inflation. it is the same way with everything else they're talking about. they distract voters americans by saying one thing and do

6:19 pm
remains quote, uncomfortably high. why is it taking so long for people to wake up to what is going on? >> a lot of these liberal media outlets have been out to lunch or on vacation, because we've been saying since day one, inflation has risen 13.1% since joe biden took office. real wages declined 4 1/2%. this bill, inflation reduction act, spends $745 billion. it added $599 billion worth of tax increases and budget gimmicks. let me tell you, you cannot spend your way out of inflation and tax your way out of recession this is in fact what the bill does, spends, spends increases taxes like crazy. elizabeth: you cannot bet against the american people. the american people are so smart, they're optimistic and hopeful. they know this is a rotten democrat party. it is not obama's party. it is not clinton's party. they are so far left they think obama and clinton are

6:26 pm
enough and sucker-punched man in the face. this is last friday in the bronx. police say no words were exchanged. the victim smashed his head on the concrete and rushed to the hospital. he was knocked unconscious. he went back into the restaurant before eventually leaving. again he is a registered level 3 sex offender which is the most serious level there is. now he is charged with third-degree assault but still walking free tonight. this comes as crime is surging in the big apple. felony assault up 30% from this time last year. overall crime is up 36%. you see shootings in public, innocent people being victimized. as for the victim in this attack we know he is in 52 years old. he is in critical condition. has a fractured skull, a brain bleed and a broken cheekbone. we'll send it back to you. >> nate foy, what a terrible story. joining me national border patrol council art del cueto. art, new york city, it has
6:27 pm
weak-on-crime policies enacted by democrats. double-digit spikes in crime. it is also a sanctuary city. this is all happening right as texas governor greg abbott is busting illegal immigrants in the city. it peoples -- feels like adding chaos to the city. what do you say? >> instead of blaming governor abbott they need to blame the federal government. that is who caused this. they caused magnet of crime coming in the country not in new york but throughout the entire country. governor abbott is showing them where we're at, this is the desperation, somebody needs to do it. it is up to the administration to have the political will to stop it. elizabeth: should he send it to delaware? >> he should be sending them to places where people continue to have this magnet and sanctuary cities because those are the individuals that need to wake up and realize that their policies have been wrong, they have been asking for wrong things overall
6:28 pm
and step up for the administration. so the administration starts to do the right thing. that is protect our nation's borders. elizabeth: this fight is heating up. democrats who demand sanctuary cities, they're not enjoying cities actually being used as sanctuaries. we have new york city mayor eric adams angry when he is pro-sanctuary city, so the mayor of d.c. all this while crime is skyrocketing. listen to the rhetoric. it is heating up. >> it is the worst type of politics. it is hateful politics to raise his national profile. you know what? you should not be doing it by taking away the respect and dignity of people who are in need. what the texas governor is doing is just so anti-american. elizabeth: well you know the other thing that is going ons art, a stunning new npr ipsos poll, majority of americans say there is quote invasion at the border, two million already this fiscal year crossing. that is the size of nebraska,
6:29 pm
four miamis, equal to detroit, denver, boston, combined. it is double last year. >> right. that doesn't even count the individuals that have gotten away. what governor abbott is doing, he is making sure that the public sees how horrific it is, what the chaos is at the border and everybody needs to start paying attention. governor abbott is doing the right thing, absolutely the right thing. elizabeth: joe biden has never been to the border. kamala harris is awol, so is chuck schumer, so is nancy pelosi. we've got another smuggling operation that was busted, fentanyl smuggling bust by border agents in arizona in nogales. more than 40 million fentanyl pills, some were colored and looked like candy. this is dangerous stuff. >> right, it is definitely dangerous stuff. that is happening constantly in arizona, in fact throughout different parts of the border. you're seeing individuals trying to get detained in vehicles, that they try to evade. they crash into u.s. citizens.
6:30 pm
they're causing rollovers. they're causing chaos, majority have dangerous drugs like fentanyl, heroin, methaphetamine. that is the direct results of policies of this information distracting agents. elizabeth: the problem is, democrats in d.c. are focused on trump. they are focused hardcore on trump. we've got crime, we've got a border collapse under biden. we've got inflation. but somehow it only has to be about trump. wall-to-wall coverage on msnbc, only about trump. wall-to-wall coverage that republicans are evil or fascists. we have james carville doing the deplorable routine again. when there are serious issues out there voters from pew, gallup, monmouth, you guys are so way off the wall and not focus what we care about and worry about. your final word. >> liz, they're distracting the american public from what is
6:31 pm
really going on at the border. take a look what happened down in texas where they're trying to blame agents for what they did. those individuals were already in the country. i'm talking about the agents where the gate was open. they were already in the country. the agent did their job. they arrested illegals in the country. >> art del cueto, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. elizabeth: the director of the cdc announces a shakeup after admitting that the cdc fell short in dealing with the pandemic. we break it down with dr. marty makary next on "the evening edit". you'll always remember buying your first car. and buying your starter home. or whatever this is. but the things that last a lifetime like happiness, love and confidence...

staff yesterday the public guidance during the pandemic was quote, confusing and overwhelming. so she is owning it. >> we made some pretty public mistakes and we need to own them. reporter: the cdc director may be onto something. a pew survey found in june public trust in the government is historic lows. only two in 10 americans say they trust the government to do what is right almost always or most of the time. not just the cdc eroded trust in the american public. according to a recent "fox news poll," 52% of americans see big government as a major threat to the stability of the country but under president biden government is getting bigger. the irs's massive expansion has average americans worried auditors will be coming for them. >> the irs will go after people with enough money to be targets but not enough money to hire a washington lobbiest. it is that the irs is simply not accountable. reporter: there are a lot of eyes on the fbi and doj over the raid at mar-a-lago and questions if they may have overstepped or

6:38 pm
it. elizabeth: you're putting news out there, the gao is about to issue a scathing report on the cdc in their handling of the pandemic. the u.s. taxpayer spend hundreds of billions of dollars on government agencies, including the cdc and nih but our response to the pandemic was to be caught flat-footed with no containment strategy, lack of protective gear for hospital workers and equipment, and poor vaccine distribution models and so on. you seen what goes on behind the scenes, just what do the people do? what is the gao going to find out? >> there are 21,000 employees the cdc. when the pandemic hit the united states they couldn't even track cases it was johnson engineering grad student put together a website that allowed us and the world to track this virus. that is a disgrace. that is not something you tell the cdc go fix yourself now, let them read a statement some publicist wrote for the director to read, we're sorry about the response. how about some action.
6:39 pm
they don't have a messaging problem. they have a bad decision problem. they have had a series of bad decisions by the director. elizabeth: we have a lack of leadership problem in this country. so again the gao is basically cdc is coming out ahead of what the gao is going to slam them for next week on bad pandemic policies. let's watch senator rand paul on all of this. watch. >> i think they need to step back and get back into the advice game, not the mandate game. i think it ironic we won't let the world's greatest tennis player because he is not vaccinated djokovic yet we'll let thousands ane in unvaccinat. talk about hypocrisy. maybe talk to the cdc about that. elizabeth: really appalling what is going on in our nation. we're supposed to follow the leaders who shut down the u.s. economy, threw 22 million people out of work, right? and then they allowed basically defund the police, they allowed crime to skyrocket, victimizing americans. now we got the biden white house
6:40 pm
are going to start next week, they will say no covid-19 vaccination proof tests inside of the government starting next week. so that is what is happening coming up what took them so long? >> well, they have been painting themselves into a corner looking for an escape. when you look what they said suddenly, don't have to quarantine, isolate, mask, test, that recommendation was not based on cases going down, they were higher than in the spring. they were looking for an escape, it is no coincidence in my opinion it came out within 24 hours of raid at mar-a-lago. they undid a lot of their stuff. they didn't change big policies they need. let's be honest so-called overhaul they're talking about, bringing in mary wakefield to reform the agency. she is a clinton appointee who has been in government forever. elizabeth: doctor, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. elizabeth: a deadly blast risks

she has known how brutal the taliban are since she was a baby. >> the taliban, they bombed our house, i was in the crib sleeping and suddenly the rockets hit our house and everything caught fire. that is why i got the scars on my face. reporter: an i had a group brought her to the u.s. now she is on a student visa. if she returns to afghanistan she won't be able to go to school because the taliban have banned girls from being educated above the 6th grade, reneging on a promise to educate girls. she has five sisters who were left behind. >> one of my sisters, she graduated from the university of right before the taliban. she is at home. one of my sisters graduated high school. she is just at home. i called them and talked to my sisters. they always cry. reporter: sonya and her 12-year-old daughter fought their way on to kabul airport last august, making it on to one

of the last flights the same day that 13 americans were killed by a suicide bomber at abbey gate. >> translator: asked no woman can go to school, no ladies can go to school, and my daughter could be unable to go to school from that day on. reporter: they arrived in charlotte, north carol loon on november 24th. >> translator: here you can achieve your goal when you graduate but in afghanistan cannot as a woman. reporter: stress caused sonia to have heart attack. she want work and can't pay rent. she is here on humanitarian parole visas that expire in a year. reporter: independence fund that helped u.s. veterans is paying some of sonia's bills. unless they give evacuees like sonia get a pathway back to citizenship they are sent back to afghanistan to live under the taliban and sonia's daughter will not be allowed to go to school. elizabeth: thank you for the

report. joining us from house armed services congressman pat fallon. reaction to that story? >> liz, it is heartbreaking, the taliban has treated women like they're cattle. they have no rights. they are a commodity to be traded and exploited. it is sad that a year ago today, the evacuation and botched withdrawal under the biden administration happened. we just projected weakness. it is really a sad day. elizabeth: now you have 21 dead, bombing in a mosque in kabul. reports just coming in. isis is most likely culprit. white house one-year anniversary is remaining pretty much silent what happened in august of last year when the president said terrorists are gone, al qaeda is gone. that was -- >> no. you know, to set a date in august for a withdrawal that you know, fighting in afghanistan,
6:49 pm
liz, is seasonal. if you leave, leave in the winter so you give this government, which was really in the embrey outic stages four or five months to get their footing. unfortunately joe biden for some political reason no one knows why he left the in august at the height of the fighting season. ig report came out showed there wasbillion dollars worth of equipment left, $4 billion of ground vehicles, a billion dollars in military aircraft, $300 million aircraft and munitions. get this, 316,000 small arms, sniper rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, exactly stuff would be better used in ukraine than by the taliban in afghanistan. elizabeth: so given what you just said, given what happened, how did the disasterous pullout of afghanistan, how did it affect other geopolitical spheres and theaters? how did it affect foreign policy elsewhere? >> well, liz, it certainly
6:50 pm
didn't give vladmir putin any pause. in fact when you project that kind of weakness it probably emboldened him quite frankly. we have to look at the record. in the four years of the trump administration putin didn't grab any territory. he did under w bush, in 2008 when he two provinces in georgia, took crimea in 2014 under biden. launched a full-scale, i'm sorry under obama. launched a full-scale invasion under biden this year. clearly it wasn't helpful. elizabeth: congressman fallon, thanks for being here. >> thanks, liz. elizabeth: trump blasting the judge on the fbi raid case for not releasing entire unredacted affidavit to search trump's florida home. the judge ordered unseal portions of it. we have anonymous leaks continuing to pour out of the government. ford o'connell, guy benson next on "the evening edit." ♪ the best price on every trade,

liz: joining us now, gop strategist ford o'connell and guy benson. ford, your reaction to what what happened judge reinhart ordering the affidavit unsealed in the raid on trump's home and looks like they've got a week to do it. what do you expect to come out
6:55 pm
of this? >> i'm highly skeptical of this ruling, liz. we'll be back in the same place next week based on the judge's order because essentially ag merrick garland will order an aggressive redaction and therefore the public will not see this at least not before the midterms. liz: guy, what if it comes back like gibberish? we've got government leaks about the fbi raid continuing to pour out, anonymous leaks going into the media. what do you say so all this? >> well, i think ford makes a good point and and i was talkinn the radio earlier with molling hemmingway and she'd love to see transparency, if it's going to be redacted left and right to the point you can't understand what's in there, it could be worse than doing nothing. i want to wait and see what we actually get. i think learning more about this is important and it's an extraordinary case and merits
6:56 pm
extraordinary circumstances and maybe things the government typically wouldn't do and it's raiding the house of a former president, but i think celebrating that something meaningful is coming is premature. maybe it won't be but for you, i'm also a bit skeptical. liz: yeah, what guy just said, by the way, this is coming less than 100 days and less than 90 days before the midterms. you know, jonathan turly is saying government leakers are trying to frame the media coverage and trying to paint a picture. when you see this, ford and guy, i'm going to ask you the same thing, when you see the leaks pouring out into the media about what this could be about, washington post says it's nuclear secrets. news week saying it's about trump russia. on and on and on. when you see this happening, ford, what is your concern? >> it is hard to separate the political from this situation. given that merrick garland up ended two centuries of precedent by raiding a president's home,
6:57 pm
it's clear that biden, doj and fbi is hoping the media will run with this with lies, speculation and innuendo to take the heat of biden's failed economy ahead of the midterms and hopefully from the biden perspective to disqualify trumped ahead of the 2024 elections. liz: what do you think, guy? >> i don't know how it's going to play out and i'm open to actual facts down the line but for now up to this point, there's striking resemblances to what we all experienced during the trump/russia collusion narrative and that turned out to be a hoax obviously with selective cherry-picked leaks coming out of a black box no one knew what was going on and people justifying it saying trump's a bad guy and the government wouldn't be doing all this if they didn't have something serious. we remember how that turned out, and i think that fuels a lot of the healthy skepticism to cynicism and watching this fact pattern to play out. liz: to what guy just said,
6:58 pm
ford, government prosecutor jay bragg said unsealing this affidavit would provide a road map of ongoing investigations still in the early stages. what could that investigation be because trump and his team, they know about -- they know what's going on. how is that going to damage their side? what is this ongoing investigation? >> that's exactly right. i think that guy hit the nail on the head here. this appears to be a replay of the russia hoax in the hopes to benefit the democrat's politically. but let's look back, if real clear investigations is right, some of the same people that are quarterbacking this raid were on the russia hoax to begin with so i think what's happened here is this is a type of thing that we expect in third world banana republics where you have a party in power that's weaponnized the government and agencies against a political opponent and till something changes, it's hard to dissuade that given how many times the fbi and doj have weighed in on matters that have affected elections over the last several cycles. liz: you know, guy, is it
6:59 pm
conceivable that the search warrant is written so broadly they can grab documents, any document under trump's four years in office. could they conceivably have used a records act violation as cover to go after trump on any other front? >> sure. i mean, that's andy mccarthy's theory of this, a long time federal prosecutor and he said the fbi and doj forfeited the benefit of the doubt on all this stuff. i think that's true. i don't implicitly or reflectively trust trump. after what we we saw in the last five or six years, i don't implicitly trust the fbi or doj on this stuff or the news media and here we are stuck until the middle of un-reliable narrators with a shor shortage of facts ad maybe we'll get a few more in a week depending what the judge finds in te te terms of redacti.
7:00 pm
liz: they haven't earned the voter's trust on this. ford o'connell, guy benson, thanks again for joining us. it's good to see you. i'm elizabeth macdonald and you've been watching "the evening edit" on fox business. we hope you have a good evening and join us again tomorrow night. kennedy: put up or shut up. the federal fag strait in florida today -- magistrate ruling the feds have one week to release some of the documents on the federal raid on mar-a-lago and the judge is allowing redactions. will that be enough to satisfy team trump in what has quickly become one of the most explosive legal cases in recent memory? the department of justice was fighting the release of documents relating to the raid and doj argues it could do irreparable damage and the magistrate, the one that green
