"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: we begin with stocks in retreat. thanks for joining us. look at that a sea of red. here is what is going on fed rate hike worries again. talking potentially one percentage point jump. that would be the highest in 40 years. we had upbeat economic data on retail sales. jobless claims coming in pretty good. here is what is going on too. the president announced a tentative agreement to avert the railroad strike before the pivotal midterms. let's get you this story. texas send two migrant buses to d.c. they disembarked in vice president harris's residence. fox news griff jenkins is outside of the naval observatory in d.c. with more. grief? >> good evening, liz. governor abbott sent nearly 200 buses of nearly 8,000 migrants to washington, d.c., since april but never has he sent them
6:03 pm
outside of the naval observatory. obviously this an intended message to vice president harris. look at the video we show a little before 7:00 a.m. two buses from the del rio sector. 101 total migrants, most of them from venezuela, some from nicaragua, cuba, columbia. when we spoke to the migrants one gentleman from venezuela had a very different perspective whether the border is opened or closed contrary to vice president harris. here is some of what he had to say. >> the border is open, it is open. we enter. we come in free. reporter: it is open for you to come illegally, right? >> yes, i will legally, that's true. we see it on the news that everybody coming in illegally. so we're doing the same. reporter: migrants were met by local ngos who took them to a church. meanwhile governor abbott says the buses will keep rolling because he wants to bring
6:04 pm
much-needed relief to the overrun border cities bring awareness to the white house, karine jean-pierre had this reaction. >> we do our best to secure the border. we do our best to make sure we fix a broken system that was left behind by the last administration. reporter: the problem with that statement under the previous administration they didn't have the unprecedented numbers. just the del rio sector where the buses came from the last 24 hours they had 2042 migrant encounters. that is something they have never seen. that is part of the problem. elizabeth: griff jenkins, terrific reporting. congressman beth van duyne house transportation, along with arizona attorney general mark brnovich. thanks so much for joining us tonight. congresswoman, your reaction to that story. the president named vice president harris the border czar. she said the border was secure. now the president is claiming
6:05 pm
they inherited a broken system when biden has been in d.c. since nixon, the nixon era. he has been on senate foreign relations. he knows this border has been a problem and he has never been there. >> no. that is the problem. he has been in office for 50 years and never has been down there neither are the mayors from new york, d.c., chicago. they never had to deal with the effect what is is happening at our borders. i was a mayor in a texas city. i saw first-hand what happens when you have illegal immigrants come into your city. you can't plan for them. you don't have the infrastructure. we saw our schools overreturn. we were building schools that by the time they were open were already too small. we saw people come in not have enough housing. what did it to our infrastructure. we were not prepared. you were never prepared for this. elizabeth: congresswoman -- you were the mayor of irving, texas. irving, texas. >> yes. elizabeth: that is big city. >> 250,000 people.
6:06 pm
elizabeth: you didn't have the infrastructure to deal with it. mark, reaction to this news, california governor gavin newsom to ask the doj to charge governor abbott and governor desantis for kidnapping? do you see them coming with a ransom note or gun to their head? >> absolutely ridiculous, liz. reality governor desantis should be praised because apparently only one that can make airlines to arrive on time at destination they're supposed to be. reality the democrats were welcoming people illegally coming into our country with free flights and you know free hotel rooms. itineraries include liberal cities. that is when they finally will object. reality in places like martha's vineyard we haven't seen a panic like "jaws" from shark. they created this crisis.
6:07 pm
as you and i talked about this past year, every state is a border state. every city is a border city. as a result of not only flood of people illegally entering our country. as a result of all the poison flooding across our border every day. just this last weekend in arizona enough fentanyl was seized that could possibly kill a million people. elizabeth: we already had enough fentanyl that could kill everybody in america. >> yeah. >> congresswoman van duyne and mark, all of us, we have been covering this for six years, since 2016. right? i mean governor desantis, you know, has had it. now he is helping send illegal immigrants to martha's vineyard, the swanky martha's vineyard home to former president obama. he reportedly considered delaware too. this is direct shot at sanctuary states and cities. they talk about a big game. this is getting them to give a damn about the crisis they created. blatant violation of federal law. the media inn heister rakes.
6:08 pm
gop governors are playing chess while democrats are playing checkers. we have fentanyl, violent gangs, human trafficking, the border is in collapse and democrats have yet to answer the wake-up call? >> you're exactly right. we've been seeing this for years. under the biden administration every single tool of the tool box, customs, border patrol gone out the window. every tool of immigrations and customs enforcement. when i was mayor we were not prepared for this. we worked with law enforcement agencies. our police department had a fantastic relationship with immigrations an customs enforcement. we enforced our laws. we were able to work with i.c.e. to deport illegal immigrants who had committed crimes in our city. what we found our crime rate dropped. we came the fifth safest city in the country. what you're seeing in cities across the country right now is the them ignoring that, crime rising. it is not a shock, not a
6:09 pm
surprise. they planned it. it is actually happening. elizabeth: that is what the congresswoman is saying. why are democrat governors or leaders and mayors saying yeah, we've got drug gangs coming in, we've got crime coming in from the border, right, mark? we've got democrat illinois governor jb pritzker calling out the national guard rooms to deal with illegal immigrants bused to chicago but not the violent crime. this same governor supports no-cash bail for violent felonies like arson, kidnapping, and putting dangerous criminals back on the streets. by the way, mark, listen to this. chicago mayor lori lightfoot said federal fund should be diverted away from your state to chicago and other blue cities. appearing to tell biden you have to fix the border. watch this. >> every dollar goes to the state of texas, or state of arizona, any other state be a did indicating responsibility manufacturing this crisis in our city, every single one of those dollars needs to be recommitted
6:10 pm
to cities like chicago, new york, and washington, d.c. but we're not going to put, take our foot off the gas to say that we need a comprehensive plan, fund the federal government. this is a national problem. it needs a national solution. >> biden would fly people in the middle of the night, dump them all across this country. there was no warning on any of this. we've had people right on the border helping, working ways. they will dump in san antonio. these people have, they're basically just there and a lot of them end up migrating to different parts. elizabeth: mark, what do you say to all of that? u.s. law says you can't claim asylum if you're an economic migrate, right? so we have, that is a big problem too. what do you think of all of that? >> you're absolutely right as far as the asylum claims. we have a lawsuit where we're challenging the biden administration attempting to allow dhs to offer or give asylum instead of going through
6:11 pm
traditional process of immigration judges. we think this will explode the crisis even more. nobody is talking about it. when i hear the chicago mayor talking or the illinois governor i keep thinking reminds me of a bad scene, the bar scene out of "star wars." like a bunch of clowns and they don't care anything about this country. >> got this too, go ahead, mark, finish your thought. >> that is why we continue to fight them in the courtroom. shame on her because the biden administration created this. democratic mayors and governors encouraged it. now just because they get a little taste of it somehow, it is our fault? it is joe biden's fault. kamala harris's fault. elizabeth: your final words, reuters is reporting the white house, reuters is saying this, it is asking mexico, pressing mexico to take in more illegals from cuba, nicaragua, venezuela under trump's title 42, covid-19 expulsion order. the white house is publicly fighting to end that in court. your final word on that?
6:12 pm
>> people like mike pompeo, representative brian harrison from texas worked very diligently to make sure we had tools in place handling what was happening at the border, they worked. biden's pettiness. entire administration pettiness taking back everything was working the trump administration put in place. you have a crisis t was created by the biden administration. now they're having to walk it back. they're going back to the tools that were working first place. congratulations you finally figured it out. elizabeth: got it. congresswoman van duyne, mark brnovich thanks for joining us. gop senators demand biden deploy federal resources to stop violent crime in u.s. cities. one major city, half the voters there, they are a victim of crime. half of them. rollcall biden losing independent voters as quote, inflation is eating family budgets alive.
6:13 pm
top "new york times" columnist says they must keep u.s. oil and gas in energy policy. that story next from liz peek. >> how shocking to have the president here holding hands with governor gretchen witmer, touting ev vehicles, when michigan lost another 20:00 auto jobs after losing total 5000 auto jobs because electric vehicles are taking the automotive industry out of the state of michigan. ♪ voltaren. the joy of movement. ♪ as a main street bank, pnc has helped over 7 million kids develop their passion for learning. and now we're providing 88 billion dollars to support underserved communities... ...helping us all move forward financially. pnc bank: see how we can make a difference for you.

6:17 pm
elizabeth: okay, we've got new fox polls coming in. a majority of voters see no improvement in controlling inflation. both vice president harris and treasury secretary janet yellen yellen joining the white house's victory lap. going on for about a week of their latest tax-and-spend bill. that is what people are blaming. it is igniting inflation. even experts like the cbo, upenn wharton says that bill does not cut inflation at all. edward lawrence at the white house to break it down. edward? >> well, liz the white house downplaying impact of inflation. clearly voters are upset. in a "fox news poll" only 29% of registered voters approve of the president's job on inflation, similar numbers on the economy,
6:18 pm
more than half of people disapprove of the job on energy and climate change. when you dig deeper into the inflation numbers, 78% of inflation caused financial hardship past six months. senator rick scott said in the midterms will vote based on the economy. >> that is why they will reject democrats in the fall. we'll get a majority back in the house. get a majority back in the house. the biden administration is completely unpopular. reporter: president biden answered question that grocery prices are up 14%. he said railway cars will continue moving. he continued message economy is in transition. in the statement it will take more time and resolve to bring down inflation is what the president says. voters might not be willing to wait that long as this transition happens as they feel the economic pain in their wallets. liz? elizabeth: edward lawrence, thank you so much, great reporting, fox news contributor, liz peek. but hear the president is now saying averting a railway strike
6:19 pm
will lower food and grocery inflation, really, railroads were causing grocery inflation? >> liz, i think absence of a negative, right? it is a very good thing we don't have a rail strike, in fact having all those railcars, idled certainly could have pushed supply chain problems again and you know, basically prices of everything but i actually am very cynical about this entire endeavor. i never thought that a major union was going out on strike weeks before a midterm election when the president right now is such a big booster of big labor. so i think this is frankly kind of a manufactured issue. but here is what is not manufactured. the settle mentor was reached, liz, is extremely expensive. we'll see other unions across the country get the same kind of increases not only in pay but health benefits an other things which going to drive up the costs of labor.
6:20 pm
in my view that is probably the worst thing that could have happened. >> that is interesting. there is also this, liz. president biden tweeted he was a car guy. he was touting electric cars in detroit. he made a gaffe. he was in a gas-powered corvette. that is not electric car. this study, many electric cars way 1000-pounds more than regular gas cars. they have rocket ship speed. they can create more dangerous accidents. to your point, elections are in the middle. roll call says independents moving away from biden as inflation eats family budgets alive. i want your reaction to the vice president saying electric cars are cheaper to own. watch? >> there is a solution to this problem. electric vehicles. electric cars. and trucks and buses, which produce no tailpipe emissions and they are cheaper to own. elizabeth: really? your reaction? >> well, i think we're just coming to understand all of the expenses related to electric
6:21 pm
cars, liz. first of all in some places the, where the electricity grid is really not in place to handle the surge in demand, electricity prices are going through the roof. there are parts of california right now where it is more expensive to charge an ev than it is to fill up a gas-powered car. obviously kamala harris is not talking about the initial price. we know initial price on an ev is higher. she is talking about over time, charging it is less expensive than filling your car with gasoline. but i think, the proof is in the pudding. we'll see whether that is true or not, we're just really finding out a lot about evs that are not flattering including environmental impact of all the mining required for the rare earth minerals and so forth. i think the jury is out whether this is really such a great idea. but you know what? the zealots in the white house are going to push electric vehicles as a solution to a problem. i think they're wrong but i wish
6:22 pm
they would let -- elizabeth: we got to get to this. "new york times" opinion writer, thomas friedman is now saying biden needs to ramp up oil and gas and postpone his green energy agenda because putin threatened to cut off europe from russian energy. now thomas friedman is touting u.s. oil and gas. >> any sane person is, liz. we're looking at europe where they banked on renewable energy and russia. what a horrendous decision that was but renewables by themselves are unreliable. you add in supplies of fossil fuels to back them up. renewables need back up. at we don't have the storage for all time 24 hour reliance on renewables. that is the lesson everybody in this country should be learning. the backup is natural gas and coal and oil but somehow, you know, i think democrats think voters are too stupid to
6:23 pm
understand this. they're telling us lies and it's a really dangerous thing, i must say. elizabeth: liz peek, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. elizabeth: reports coming in fbi whistle-blowers warning fbi is promoting voters domestic terrorists deemed not a threat to help the white house midterm narrative? gop voters demand biden deploy federal resources to stop violent crime. half of voters in a major u.s. city say they're afraid of crime. james comer next onbu "the evening edit"t . because you've got the next generation in global secure networking from comcast business. with fully integrated security solutions all in one place. so you're covered. on-premise and in the cloud. you can run things the way you want - your team, ours or a mix of both. with the nation's largest ip converged network. from the most innovative company. bring on today with comcast business.

ask your doctor about everyday verzenio. ♪. elizabeth: midterms are around the corner. crime is a top issue for many voters. polls show that. why are democrats stalling about funding police? fox news congressional correspondent chad pergram with more on capitol hill. chad? reporter: liz, republicans believe democrats are vulnerable on crime in this fall's midterm election. the issue rivals inflation as the top concern among voters. republicans say liberal prosecutors coddle criminals. >> this has been an intentional, strategic campaign from the far left. now americans are being robbed, carjacked, assaulted and murdered. their families are being poisoned with illegal drugs. reporter: house democrats promised to pass bills to beef up support for the police but those efforts are stymied. house majority whip jim clyburn
6:28 pm
says there is no urgency coming to passing the bills. republicans took aim at democratic inaction. >> i think representative clyburn misses urgency here. i'm shocked that our democrats colleagues don't want to see. it is obvious across america we have crime running at rampant rates. reporter: democrats contend they don't want to fund the police but the narrative appears set. >> the inconsistency of the messaging, particularly when they, the democrattings are having to defend so many seats and control of congress, really is a kind of a head-scratcher in terms of campaign strategy. reporter: democrats say the gop needs to answer the remarks about law enforcement. >> it would be nice if the other side were cooperating more on that. unfortunately faced with a maga republican party calling us to defund the fbi. we think that is crazy. reporter: democrats struggledded to approve their own police reform bill more than two years after the murder of george
6:29 pm
floyd. liz. elizabeth: chad pergram, great journalism as always. great having you on. joining us ranking member on house oversight, james comer. congressman, good to have you on. thanks for joining us tonight. >> thanks for having me. tennessee senators marsha blackburn and bill bill hagerty sent a letter to president biden use wartime money to stop violent crime. is the white house responding to that? >> no, absolutely not. they pretend there is not a problem when you look at the polling, cities, blue districts in america, especially among women, crime is a big of an issue as inflation. people are scared to go out of their homes in the big cities. ironically these cities are governed by very liberal democrat mayors, and they have had liberal policies, left-wing policies like democrats in congress tried to enact all across america. they are not working, crime is on the increase, democrats do not have an answer.
6:30 pm
elizabeth: the senators are asking the president to reinstate trump's operation legend. operation legend deployed federal law enforcement to nine u.s. cities, over 6,000 arrests, nearly 500 for homicide, 2600 illegal guns, 17 kilos of fentanyl. that worked but seeps like the democrats are talking more and more about this being a maga election for the midterms and abortion election when it is people are saying well, wait a second, it is not that at all? >> right. they have people like cori bush take the lead on this issue and alexandria ocasio-cortez. not only have they advocated for defunding the police, they said overwhelming majority of police officers are white supremacists. they have done everything they can to demoralize our police force. at the same time they have turned a blind eye securing the southern border. this allowed fentanyl to pour across the border unchecked. ending up not just in the cities but all across america. in the cities it is fueling more
6:31 pm
crime. you remember they passed gun laws. not very many people in these cities have guns to protect their families and criminals know this. the criminals will go to where they feel like they can be successful committing crimes. they know they can be more successful committing crimes in places where there is massive gun control versus places like where i live. elizabeth: i.c.e. arrested 12,000 illegal aliens with aggravated felony convictions last year. every democrat senator voted against a measure to detain or deport a number of criminal illegal aliens. that is an issue too. that is what the gop senators from tennessee are talking about. a pew research survey, 57% of americans say that is an issue. that should be part of the immigration agenda. they have like in san francisco, polls show in san francisco voters, half of the voters say, congressman, they were victims of crime. that is a big number. >> that is big number. nancy pelosi's backdoor. that is why they had the recall of the liberal prosecutor. that is another part of the
6:32 pm
problem. we've had liberal prosecutors elected in these cities that let criminals go on the loose in the name of criminal justice reform. it is just not working. none of the democrat policies have worked with respect to crime. that is why we have skyrocketing crime in places like where i am right now, washington desai, chicago, philadelphia, louisville, kentucky. it is everywhere on the rise. as long as democrats are in the majority making decisions nothing will get better. elizabeth: congressman comer, thank for being on. >> thanks for having me. elizabeth: the rules for thee not for me. remember l.a. official lectured everyone to stay at hem during covid and broke the rules to eat at a restaurant? she is in public corruption probe. whistle-blowers warn the fbi is provoting voters as domestic terrorists even if they're deemed not a threat. the white house midterm narrative. facebook is getting in on the

elizabeth: breaking news coming in. the justice department is now initiating a new hate crime push with all 94 u.s. attorneys offices nationwide to fight hate crimes. we joining us now, house judiciary ranking member jim jordan. congressman, great to have you on. so you heard that news, right? you said you have information from a whistle-blower, accusing the fbi of labeling groups domestic terrorists even after the fbi is investigating them and deemed them not to be a threat, what is going on here? >> no, this is the whole pattern to fit the narrative that joe biden talked about. remember he called half the country extremist and fascists, trying to juice the numbers, juice the numbers to satisfy that narratives. that is what whistle-blowers are telling us. they investigated mike glover's
6:38 pm
group, veteran served our country, investigated his group, couple years ago he is not in any way a domestic terrorist whatsoever. again some woke anist says we need to look at him again because he flies the flag, he own as gun. he voted for trump, whatever they come up witand they investigate him again there is nothing there. this push, this pressure that they're under to find cases to juice the numbers, label any and all cases they're investigating as domestic violent extremism cases. it is flat-out wrong. if we're in the majority -- elizabeth: this is a doj his settle blower saying they're prematurely labeling the cases as domestic terrorist cases to pad numbers to fit biden's midterm narrative? is that what is going on? >> they're definitely trying to juice the numbers. it is consistent with, the event at the white house it fits the narrative. we had one whistle-blower come to uey're pressured to label
6:39 pm
these cases, catalogs, devs, domestic violence extremism cases. the person providing pressure happens to be timothy thibault, that same goo who different whistle-blower said the guy was responsible for suppressing hiding evidence about the hunter biden story, in the run up to the presidential race. again that is part of the political nature of the justice department, to i think create this narrative and go after their political own points. elizabeth: so, but you're not saying that domestic extremism is not an issue? florida saw a sharp uptick in anti-semitic incidents in the last year, right, 50% increase? >> that is horrible. elizabeth: we saw far right marchs in cities like indianapolis and orlando. you're saying this is going way beyond what is necessary and needed, is that what you're safing? >> of course. no one supports what's happened in florida. no one support what is you just described, that is as wrong as
6:40 pm
wrong can be. we don't think this in any way president of the united states to label half the country as fascists, half the country as extremists which we know what joe biden is doing. we know from brave whistle-blowers working at fbi based on numbers they are telling us but pressure on guy who left the fbi. timothy thibault left the fbi couple weeks ago. elizabeth: after allegedly blocking the hunter biden probe. you indicated this you saw this too during the school board parents fight. >> yee. elizabeth: to that the fbi was moving to pad the domestic terror threat numbers. we have hank johnson essentially equating school board parents with the capital 6 rioters. january 6 rioters. >> that is crazy and not true. elizabeth: did that happen during the school board could not controversy.

>> 14 whistle-blowers come to our office while we're in the minority. we can't do a whole lot other than telling their story. they're doing it because it is so ridiculous. over 25 parents have been investigated by the fbi and because this, apparatus that merrick garland set up but to hank johnson's point, yesterday we were debating in committee. give me a break the school board's association themselves apologized for the letter. said we regret the letter, regret what we said. so the idea there is nothing there is ridiculous for him to say. elizabeth: congressman jordan, thanks for joining us. >> you bet, thank you. elizabeth: new reports allege facebook has been spying on the private messages and data of users. reporting them to the fbi if they express anti-authority sentiments. facebook is denying. also this, rules for thee, not for me. remember the l.a. official who lectured everyone to stay home and broke her own covid lockdown rules? she is now in a public corruption probe in california. congressman mark green on this

>> the doesn't say anything. says they can search the house. they can search the premises, related to a felony but there is no name for the felony. a contract with metro with which i had nothing to do. on going investigation. there is no claim of any crime. there is no basis for this. i was told that the sheriff, quote, recused himself. last night about 10:30, my county council texted me and said that she had gotten a tip, i think, probably from the inspector general. >> okay. joining us now from house foreign affairs, congressman mark green. congressman, pleasure having you on. that is, california newspaper said that sheila kuhl was one of the worst offenders in do as i say, not as i do officials breaking their own lockdown rules. she, you know, dined out at a
6:47 pm
restaurant in santa monica after she voted to ban outdoor dining. now she is in a public corruption probe. what is your take on this? >> well, what we're talking about is you know, some kind of backdoor deal to get a friend or actually a campaign supporter, hundreds of thousands of dollars of government money, you know, absolutely, needs to be investigated for corruption but not surprising, i mean, look, we just gave a million barrels of our strategic oil reserve to china through a company of the president's son. so i mean it's just, the way democrats do business i guess. elizabeth: so this, sheila kuhl, was served with a search warrant over allegations of criminal conduct over her alleged role awarding a no-bid contract reports are to a best friend and campaign donor to run a sexual harrassment phone hotline that allegedly overcharged taxpayers,
6:48 pm
hundred of thousands of dollars. >> $800,000. each call wound up costing taxpayers of that county $8,000 a call. i'm sure there are plenty of companies out there that will do that call service for much cheaper. elizabeth: you know what the think is too, congressman, you and i talked about the stories, we see what they do, right? how they affect other peoples lives. all these other things happen behind the scenes. sheila kuehl also pushed to fire 4,000 l.a. counties deputy did not comply with the covid vaccine mandates earlier this year. nypd won in court a pushback on that. she pushed to ban county officials from traveling to states like alabama over their abortion law. do you know what i mean? they are always setting these rules, but behind the scenes these other stories come out? >> sure. i mean, it is not surprising. her governor, gavin newsom had a big party up in napa valley and
6:49 pm
of course was restricting his own state from doing the same. i mean, it is always do as i say, not as i do with the democrat leaders. the tragedy is, there are a lot of people who export the ideas that come out of california to rest of the country. they're even talking about gavin newsom as a potential presidential candidate. so what matters in l.a. county and california should matter to the rest of us, because somehow the democrats think that what they do out there is good. it is absolutely not what we need in the rest of the country. >> there is another layer to this. l.a. county sheriff, alex villanueva to call for the california state attorney general to investigate allegations county officials did tip off sheila kuehl and her friend of the impending search warrants at their home. her friend met the officers at the front door with the attorney. the sheriff is saying there was evidence she was tipped off ahead of time. >> which is also a crime, right? you can't, when search warrants are served there are a chain of
6:50 pm
custody on that stuff. whoever broke that should also go to jail. elizabeth: this contract was renewed for nearly half a million dollars. that is a lot of money. >> yeah. elizabeth: the county board has to approve them, sheila kuehl is saying i knew nothing about that. >> i think the evidence suggests otherwise or the sheriff wouldn't be starting an investigation on this. this is a supporter of hers, a high-dollar supporter of hers and it has happened twice now where the contracts have been awarded. she thought apparently she had to really push hard to get the contract to her friend in the first place, against the wishes of the other people making the contract decision, so i'm sorry, the evidence is stacked up against her and the sheriff is correct in wanting to do an investigation. elizabeth: protests you saw were from, december 2020 against sheila kuehl for saying, no to outdoor dining during the

duckduckgo: privacy, simplified. joining us now, ford o'connell. this story coming in from miranda's divine of the new york post citing anonymous d.o.j. sources saying facebook has been reporting users to the fbi if they post any anti- authority or anti- government sentiment. facebook denies it. what was your reaction? >> it's a stunning revelation but i can't say i'm shocked and what's truly frightening is not only does the fbi appeared to be abusing the constitutional rights of ordinary americans, it appears big tech is here too help biden administration and democrats target political opponents. it's a big problem because it's as big a threat to our republic
6:56 pm
as bureaucrats in the fbi. elizabeth: these are sources telling miranda divine she is reporting there's pressure to produce a caseload about domestic terrorism to match the white house the president rhetoric of domestic terrorism. >> miranda devine saying in the story is essentially the fbi is under pressure to basically, far to see the generous extremity. it's a situation where you have the fbi in big tech collaborating outside what appears to be legal scope without a subpoena or warrant to meet partisan and it's despicable. elizabeth: is also first amendment issues, right? >> that's exactly right. you're talking about trampling spying on by the conversations without a warrant or subpoena, that means the government is back door facebook filing first
6:57 pm
amendment of users. elizabeth: facebook and other social media have been working with law enforcement if they see evidence of potential crime. what miranda devine reports, it appears to be different, under this facebook collaboration operation, somebody red flag these private messages the past 19 months and transmitted them in redacted form to the domestic terror unit that fbi course without a subpoena without probable cause. the issues here are rice, right? >> that's what you need to be worried about because if you are democrat and you say republicans who deny 2020 election should be punished, you have to recognize what's good for the gander and you cannot have partisan bureaucrats and fbi working with big tech to back to intent of the first amendment and people's rights.
6:58 pm
elizabeth: apparently miranda devine is saying they are working with partner u.s. attorneys offices in these districts to work on these leads burned out. what miranda devine is reporting is on the facebook users were investigated by agents one local field office sometimes using covid surveillance techniques, nothing criminal or violent turned up but one sourcing it's a waste of time. >> they basically went on a partisan witchhunt allegedly according to the story and it didn't turn anything up. they recognize they were violating the first amendment rights of many people. the problem when you have the government trying to reach a solution based on artisan ends and appears the relationship occurred in the way they set up because you have partisan bureaucrats who in the fbi working with people behind the scenes who want to see this happen. elizabeth: it seems like the speed of which they are working,
6:59 pm
how quick they worked together. what miranda divine reports as soon as the subpoena was requested, she said within an hour according to anonymous sources, facebook sent that gigabytes of data. they were waiting for the legal process to send it, do you see what she's reporting there? >> i don't believe in coincidences when it comes to the constitutional amendments and speed at which you can get subpoenas and warrants, i worked at d.a. offices and i know how it works in the fact is if they are tailor-made, it probably means is a confidential informant within facebook to have possible deniability comes to violence essentially constitutional rights. elizabeth: capitol rights were condemned and republicans and conservatives have said they are wrong but this seems like something else, a quiet one we don't know about.
7:00 pm
final word. >> you are right. capitol riots were wrong but it seems you got partisan bureaucrats and fbi trying to interfere constitutional rights and is not the first time with elections as we saw with hundred biden's stories as well. elizabeth: thanks for joining us. i'm elizabeth macdonald, you've been watching "the evening edit" on foxbusiness. have a good evening. ♪ kennedy: migrant crisis turning into a game of chutes and ladders. governors and mayors battled each other over what to do with migrants all over the country, does anybody have a real solution for this embarrassing mess? a record year of the southern border, 2 million encounters, some back, some the through and some sideways. texas republican governor if
