a mile. more later on in the show about target warning that retail theft is hitting its profits hard. we got lowe's and tj maxx, better-than-expected earnings for the third quarter. grady trimble in west palm beach, with more. he is live with more on trump's announcement last night about his 2024 run. grady, good to see you. reporter: hi, liz. president trump, former president trump took aim at president biden last night blaming biden and his policies for inflation and high energy costs while touting his own administration's economic accomplishments. >> instead of jobs and factories leaving america for china they were for the first time ever leaving china for america. businesses were pouring back because of our historic tax and regulation cuts the biggest in both categories. reporter: not everyone in the republican party is sold on trump in 2024 though.

former vice-president mike pence told fox news today he thinks there will be better choices. meanwhile florida governor ron desantis seen as a front-runner for the gop if he chooses to make a run for the white house is staying out of it for now. >> no, look i think we just, we just finished this election, okay? people just need to chill out a little bit on some of this stuff. i mean seriously. reporter: gop megadonors are souring on trump as well. citadel's ken griffin and blackstone stephen schwarzman say they won't support president trump financially in the primary this is time around, liz. elizabeth: interesting story. great journalism, grady. great reporting. good to see you. look who is back with us now, gop candidate for the senate in georgia herschel walker. great to see you again. good to have you back on. let's talk about this. >> thanks for having me. elizabeth: good to see you again. trump's announcement, said it was hitting your run for the

senate, it was big footing announcement but what is your message to voters in georgia right now? because we've got senator warnock and his team saying you're not ready for prime time? you're just an athlete. what is your message to georgia voters? >> people saw at the debate who is ready for prime time and who is ready to be a senator. during the debate i took him to school, he wouldn't answer any questions before. he continued to say the things i talked about himself. i built a business. i signed the front of a paycheck. he never has. the apartment he owns 99% of it is a terrible manager. people are living in filth. there have been dead bodies found there. he has been evicting people for rent while i built a very successful business, yet in two short years as a a he failed georgia. voted with president biden 9% of the time. we're headed in the wrong direction. crime on the street, open border. he opened to put men in women's

sports. after all that who is ready to be a senator? it is not senator warnock. he already proved that don't represent georgia. i'm the man to represent georgia right now. elizabeth: herschel, the gop, they're getting criticized for failing at this ballyhooed midterm red wave. the thinking is they didn't megaphone and broadcast their plans. two big problems, first what are your plans to battle inflation? >> my plan to battle inflation first thing we want to do, get rid of those 87,000 irs agents. let's get rid of agents that will come after us. then let's try to get our energy back. i think that is the first thing we need to do is get our energy back once we get our energy back we can get the economy stirred back up. now you will get people money in their pockets. put money back in their pock pockets to get everycharging for gas. utility bills are going up. food prices are going up. what i want to get us back to

energy independence. that will get our supply chain together that is the first thing i think we need to do, start trying to worry about things like that because we also worried about a national security problem as well. once you start asking for things from your enemy i don't think they understand the definition of an enemy. an enemy is somebody that don't like you. we shouldn't go to them to ask for any type of oil and gas. right now we're so fertile underneath our feet we need to get back to do our own things our ownselves. elizabeth: herschel, the other thing what can you promise the people of georgia that is different from senator warnock on crime? violent crime is up 24% in georgia. >> well, one thing i can promise i stand behind our men and women in blue. right now i had more sheriffs endorse me than any candidate running in georgia. i had over 114 sheriffs endorsed me. they endorse me because they know i will always have their backs. senator warnock called them names, bullies thugs.

recruitment is down. i would like to bring harmony, peace between the citizens and the police. to have leaders in washington continue to have this fight with our law enforcement, that what is it going to happen with the citizen. they will do the same thing. we have to bring the respect back to our law enforcement. that is one thing i will work my tail off to get done. senator warnock has not done it. i goes to his church. preaches things against the police, against law enforcement. we can't do that. we have to have law and order. i said that many times. you think about the border, that is what i keep telling people in less than two short years you see where we're at. he hadn't been in office two short years we're right now this country is in a mess. this state is in a mess. people like senator warnock who is not a leader. washington to be a follower to follow joe biden. when i go to joe biden i will represent the georgia people. there are good people here. i will not say that we don't have our problems because we do but we worked the problems out together.

elizabeth: herschel, democrats they will have to defend a big 23 senate seats out of 33 will be up for re-election in 2024 versus 10 for republicans. that is why this is such a big fight over with your senate runoff. the concern was that the fight, inside of the senate and the house between republicans over the their leadership was hurting your campaign, pulling focus aways and there is concern that your campaign is not getting enough money. are you, are you guys okay with funding? because we're hearing that you know, some funding mechanisms were just giving you guys 10% and 90% went to the trump campaign or 90% went to say the north carolina you know, gop arm or the georgia gop arm? what is going on with funding of your campaign? >> well, first of all you know, senator warnock is trying to buy this seat. that is what they did. they got into the runoff, they were trying to buy this seat. i was not going to let them to

buy this seat. they may raise more money than i will. i will get more votes than they will. that is the reason we're in a runoff right now. he don't know how to spend his money we can't let him spend our money. i will not let him buy the seat. with the runoff we're only show in town. this is the biggest show in town. everybody is out there with type of scheme, some type of this. let everyone know to go to team herschel.com. we will not let them buy this seat. we'll raise money we need to raise to win the sheet for the great people of georgia. this ♪ senator warnock holds do not belong to him. it belongs to the people. we have to get back to in this country, get back to the people. this is the people's seat. elizabeth: listen to senator mitch mcconnell with his take what happened in the midterms. watch this. >> what happened? we underperformed among independents and moderates because their impression of many of the people in our party and leadership roles is that they're involved in chaos, negativity,

excessive attacks and it frightened independent and moderate republican voters and we saw that which is why you all recall i never predict ad red wave. elizabeth: so you heard that. what is going on with the swing voters and independent voters? are they going towards you? we're just tracking the polling there trying ascertain what's happen. is there concern in georgia among swing voters and independents with your race or warnock's race? where do you come down? >> what is going on with them you know they spent a lot of money in my race. we are virtually tied. meant i'm getting out, i'm meeting people, telling the people what i stand for. what senator warnock stands for. i don't think everyone want to have high taxes. they don't want their taxes raised. people want to keep their money in the pocket. i don't think everybody want to have high gas prices. i don't think everybody want to have high grocery prices or

utility bills. elizabeth: how do you feel about trump's endorsement? >> i think that is the problem right there. right now trump is running for president. he says he is running for president. i'm running for the senate here in georgia. this is not trump's race this is walk walk arrest race. president trump endorsed me. i thank him for it. leader mcconnell endorsed me i thank him for it. herschel walker is running the race. they have seen me out on the stump. seen me telling them what i will do. i'm the fighter fighting for the people of georgia. elizabeth: okay. >> no one has fought for them since senator warnock got into office. i'm the fighter. that is what i got to do. elizabeth: we have one final question, warnock and democrats are suing for an extra day of early voting on the saturday, not just a monday after thanks giving. georgia law prohibits that around a holiday because there is not enough pole workers given the difficult getting poll workers on a holiday. what is your take when they're trying to do that, final word? >> my tank is you don't change

the middle of the game. this is not something that just happened. they have known the rules for a while. i've known the rules. you play by the rules that you have. if you want to change it, change it way before now. don't start getting into it now because now you always getting people frustrated. i don't think we want to do that. people got to get trust back in our election procedures. we got to get the trust back into it. get trust back into our leaders. you can't continue to sue every timing is comes up. you had the chance to change it the time before. you didn't do it. elizabeth: got it. >> don't change the rules in the mid difference of the game. herschel walker thanks for coming on the show. we'll have you back on. good luck with your rates okay. >> thank you. god bless. elizabeth: you too. target today reveals it has been hit by dramatic rise in retail theft that is so bad, it is taking a gigantic bite out of target's profits. other big retailers also getting slammed. this was ignited by bad democrat

policies. plus the update on democrats still not giving back shady political donations from the collapsed ftx crypto exchange led by that meg ga democrat donor who wanted to rival george soros. he is now accused of an enron style fraud. brian steil, bitcoin foundation brock pierce is next on "the evening edit." >> i mean second place by a long shot, second only to george soros, sam bankman-fried was the number two democrat donor, more than number three and number four place combined." “ radition? this is financial security. and lincoln financial solutions will help you get there. as you plan, protect and retire. ♪ your shipping manager left to “find themself.” leaving you lost. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates

♪. elizabeth: okay, now even democrats in congress are worried about democrat lawmakers taking shady political donations from ftx. it collapsed in a potential enron-style fraud. they got a lot of campaign money from its founder, sam bankman-fried. hillary vaughn on capitol hill with more. hillary. reporter: liz, today the founder of the now bankrupt crypto exchange ftx, sam bankman-fried, is being slapped with a class-action lawsuit by investors claiming he and high-profile celebrities like nfl quarterback tom brady, nba star steph curry, broke the law and caused consumers to suffer

more than $11 billion in damages. now lawmakers on capitol hill are looking where all the money went. >> they need to be held accountable. i think a whole lot of them have to explain what they have done. reporter: bankman-fried was not just a crypto king but also a democratic megadonor. this election bankman-fried was largest donor after george soros shelling out 3million dollars this cycle. 92% of those donations going to democratic candidates. do you think lawmakers that got donation's from ftx's founder should give the money back? >> i don't want to get into that. as a matter of fact both sides and democrats an republicans received donations. thank you. reporter: liz. elizabeth: hillary vaughn, thanks for your reporting. brian styles, congressman, bitcoin foundation president brock pierce, hillary vaughn 92% of the ftx donations went to

democrats maxine waters says it is 50-50. what do you say to this. >> we'll have a government that is accountable to look into this in d.c. we have horrible two years of lack of accountability and oversight in the financial services committee. the committee with oversight over these types of businesses. we have to actually bring people before us. we have to hold people accountable. in this case with this company, a lot of people lost a lot of money. elizabeth: yeah. >> there are people hurt all across the country. elizabeth: it is being called, you know, brock, a ponzi scheme fraud like an enron-style ponzi scheme fraud in a crypto wrapper. then we're seeing you know, it's high-profile celebrities. we just reported that. but ftx apparently had a revolving door strategy of hiring government workers including at the cftc. is that what you're seeing throughout your industry? >> i mean this is a very unique case and obviously an incredible

tragedy and i think the enron analogy is appropriate. there was a real underlying business here and they were playing balance sheet games and tapping into customer funds. over a million people have been impacted by this. clearly they were very cozy with government. sam bankman-fried was the second largest donor to the biden campaign in 2020, the fifth largest donor in the midterm elections and, basically being the self-anointed individual to try to tell regulators what they should do. clearly they had very close relationships with regulators and candidates and elected officials. >> to brock's point, congressman, it shows how swami and cushy it gets with these big donors. show the viewer who got money from ftx and sam bankman-fried. you're going to see the future forward pac. you are going to see chuck schumer, house majority pac. dcc, congressional campaign committee for the democrats,

senatorial campaign. 27 million to protect our future pac. millions of dollars to democrats in at least a dozen states, congressman. time and again, this is, this is a story that has been out there for generations. i mean you say you want to hold people accountable but then this blows up. >> it is because people have not been held accountable. we have not had the proper oversight in the financial services committee we need. one of the questions we all have why is the company in the bahamas in the first place and not in the united states? we need to have innovation here in the united states and then bring folks before us and actually hold them accountable. again the financial services committee found themselves asleep at the wheels. the good news will have republicans with gavels on january 3rd in washington. elizabeth: to your point, if they're based in the bahamas isn't that against the law to be giving donations out of the bahamas to politicians in d.c.? >> well, there is a lot of questions going on. one who is giving the donations? where are they at? exactly the questions that should be asking is why are they

in the bahamas in the first place? why are these companies not in the united states? how do we get a regulatory framework in the u.s. that is encouraging crypto innovation here in a safe and productive manner rather than the risky behavior it appears this company was involved in. elizabeth: brock what do you say to what the congressman is saying all that is going on? you look at their balance sheet, it is like cobwebs this could be a 16 billion-dollar fraud. the leverage is 10 to one. this is not as big as 10 ron and madoff. i covered corporate accounting scandals with the "wall street journal." front edge of worldcom, had a piece of enron. when i'm looking at their balance sheet, brock, it is really shady stuff. >> well i couldn't agree more with what the congressman said. this is an opportunity if we get the right regulation if we get the right policy. it all comes down to that. if done correctly a lot of people are questioned about

exchanges based offshore. if america gets this right we can bring a lot of innovation back home. these are exchanges are places where they are meant to exchange. people got lazy they were using them like banks. they were not regulated in that way. we have to see the balance sheets. we have to know they were not tapping into customer funds f legislators get this right. elizabeth: there could be really disturbing. caveat emptor. watch out for this stuff. thank you for joining us. hundred hunt goes public for first time in a while in a long time, but his live interview suddenly derails. we'll explain that. congressman comer coming up with the update on gop protection into hunter biden and his family. target reveals it has been hit by a dramatic rise in retail theft that is so bad it is taking a big bite out of its profits and its stocks. the stock went down. democrats are being blamed for wrecking it for retailers. we have retired nypd officer bill stanton and from

elizabeth: you may have heard about this brutal attack in a target store in california. it's again, this crime, what happened here, it's alarming voters again in california. jonathan hunt in los angeles with the report. jonathan? reporter: liz, it was a shopping trip that turned into a terrifying few minutes inside of

that target store in downtown l.a. just after 6:20 last night when according to police a homeless man walked into the target, grabbed a knife from a shelf and approached a nine-year-old boy saying repeatedly he was going to kill him. the attacker then targeted a 25-year-old woman. after that the homeless man apparently moved towards the front of the store where an armed security guard stepped in. as the man moved towards him, still holding the knife, the security guard fired, hitting the attacker in the stomach and killing him. both victims thankfully survived. the nine-year-old boy is in stable condition. the 25-year-old woman was listed this morning as in critical but guarded condition. liz? elizabeth: jonathan hunt, thanks so much for your reporting there. joining us so much security expert, retired nypd officer bill stanton along with fox news

contributor bill mcgurn from "the wall street journal." great to have you both on, sir. bill stanton, first to you, this is a terrible story. in the midterms, democrats are shouting victory but americans are still getting slammed by crime because of this weak-on-crime policies. the midterms didn't fix any of that? >> what did the president say? is he going to change anything? and what was his answer, liz? absolutely nothing. thank you for having me on by the way but it is unfortunate we're talking about this way too often, almost every week. we see these horrible occurrences happening. and it seems that the democrats have created this social experiment where they're, you know, no-cash bail, letting out recidivism criminals to go to do this time and time again unfortunately we're lab animals being sacrificed. when will this end? it has to happen sooner or later. >> the same, bill mcgurn, target says stores are getting

looted on such a massive scale the damage to the bottom line, bill mcgurn, $400 million, $400 million out of target's profit so far this year. because democrats busted down to the level of a parking ticket retail theft. it is just a misdemeanor in many states if it is under $950 stolen, you know what i mean, bill mcgurn? >> in different cities they won't even call the cops if it is under a few hundred dollars. you know, we talk about target. i think they're expecting 600 million for this year or, for next year but, think about it for the bodega owners, small businessman, people able to steal with impunity. it is madness, get more of it. i'm told in washington, d.c., so many people don't pay fares anymore. it begets more lawlessness. to a victim of crime there is no

such thing as small crime. it is all the same. >> you know, so what you do do, bill stanton to bill mcgurn's point? cvs says it was hit with 300% increase in theft. rite aid, millions of dollars in losses, home depot. all these guys are locking up products. that is a terrible thing to do, bill stanton. do you throw the book at them? do you lower dollar amount misdemeanor a hundred dollars, anything above that is a felony? >> well, no, even misdemeanors, dat, you lock criminals up. it is called law enforcement. what certain politicians seem to be doing is they're taking the enforcement out of the law enforcement. as we saw, with that homeless person, very well may have gone in there to shoplift but then you see enhanced crimes, you see things escalate. small crimes will many times turn into bigger crimes. while our politicians have bodyguards, are locked up in

their nice homes, we're made to suffer. elizabeth: the other thing too, to what bill stanton just said, bill mcgurn, consumers will get hurt by higher prices because this will get passed on to consumers, no? it is also hitting the stock prices as well. what do you think, bill mcgurn? >> yeah, of course it is. again the small businesses, have to close down, it means that in some areas, you know, they have to walk a couple extra blocks to go to a grocery store. i mean it is appalling. one of the things we could do right away is stop letting people out. you know, put bail back in. let judges decide, because it makes no sense to arrest someone for a crime and then put them right on the street in a couple of hours. it is insane. elizabeth: it is insane. bill stanton, bill mcgurn, thanks for joining us. good to see you both. coming out of the bottom of the hour. you're watching the fox business network. look at this caught on camera, president xi xinping does a

jim jordan and i will present to the washington, d.c., press corps, everything we found thus far that would implicate hunter biden in wrongdoing and i think the list is going to be breathtaking for the mainstream media because they haven't been watching your show, liz. they have not been watching fox news. they don't read conservative publications. they honestly believe hunter biden is just a drug addict that has had bad luck and republicans are picking on him. they don't know the extent influence peddling and national security risk he poses. we'll present our find national a 30-page summary. i will be very clear where we're moving forward from where we are now with respect to getting those bank records, those bank violations and make it very clear this is now an investigation of president biden. elizabeth: so the question is, why is it an investigation of president biden now? do you have biden family bank records? >> well we have enough bank records now to know along with our emails and text messages that joe biden not only knew

about hunter's shady business dealings where he was influence peddling with our adversaries he was also a part of that. we'll go into detail about that tomorrow. we have emails that hunter biden had an extra key made for joe biden in an office funded by china for a business their sole focus was to help china get their foot in the door on the american natural gas industry. elizabeth: yeah. >> we'll also show evidence where some of these people that joe biden said he never met with hunter with respect to burisma and other shady entities in our foreign countries no one would do business with, he has pictures with them, text messages, emails with them. it will show joe biden lied to the american people about not having any knowledge of hunter biden's business dealings. what we need to now now in january when we have the gavel is this white house compromiseed

[bleep]. that was so stressful, chet. that was so [bleep] stressful. elizabeth: from one of crypto stores, congressman. hunter biden, they got off the interview, right? so now he is talking about nfts and crypto. so the think is, we need to ask you this, when it comes to the hunter biden story and the biden family selling access, doing deals in rush that, in china, in ukraine, and kazahkstan, was there any vetting of the companies and the people they were doing business with? because we're finding these companies quickly collapsed after the deals fell apart? >> exactly right. every company has collapsed. even the chinese energy company is now referred to as china's version of enron. everything hunter biden touches collapses. because hunter biden -- elizabeth: but do we know who the people were they were doing business with and whether it compromised u.s. national security? >> i fear it did. i think we have enough evidence

on that one. i think biden held firm. he needs to do more overall of course. elizabeth: we want to get your take on this. we've got senator mark warner, share of senate intelligence, economist device chair, senator marco rubio they want tiktok, want china's tiktok banned from the u.s. there is a bill to do that. listen to fbi director christopher wray on that. watch. >> we do have national security concerns at least from the fbi's end about tiktok. they include the possibility that the chinese government could use it to control data collection on millions of users or control the recommendation algorithm which could be used for influence operations if they so chose, or to control software on millions of devices. elizabeth: how worried are you about tiktok, rebecca? we're hearing that china is using tiktok to even get location data on americans? >> fbi director basically told us china can control our phones

via tiktok. that is very, very worrying and that's why the military can't use tiktok. tsa at the airport can't use tiktok. people get their news sometimes from tiktok. it is all a problem. i expect the gop house to try to ban tiktok or get the cfius process rolling. they will have good bipartisan support from senator warner and others in the senate as well. they have to go after tiktok. it is dangerous. elizabeth: rebecca, you're terrific. great insights. we'll have you back on. that was a great interview. good information there. good to have you on, see you again soon. it is coming down to the wire. people are saying the battle lines being drawn. it is trump versus desantis. we'll talk about where they agree and disagree on policy and how that affects you. gop strategist john thomas coming up on "the evening edit".

more, mark, good to see you. reporter: good to see you, greetings from above the pool deck. this conference is wrapping up. we heard a lot from republican governors, this was not to be focused on 2024, but given news of last 24 hours. the presidential race was front and center, as talk about last night florida governor ron desantis was keynote speaker, he had a chance to address the republican governors getting a warm welcome. today he said it is too early to talk about 2024. because there is a senate contest still underway in georgia. >> i think we just finished this election. okay, people need to chill out a little bit on some of this stuff. reporter: many republican governor also tell fox they think it is also too soon to talk about 2024. georgia governor kemp said he believes trump's announcement will do letter to impact party short-term.

>> i didn't get to see the announcement. i don't think that anyone was shocked. i think there will be a big conversation of what 24 looks like, we have to stay focused on 22 cycle it's not over yet. reporter: conference is wrapping up some governors are at theme parks, they will be leaving here and heading out west to speak in las vegas. you can get liz, 2 24 talk rolling out there. elizabeth: thank you mark. here with us now gop strategist john thomas, good to see you, first news that republicans have won the house. we have a split congress, democrats talk like a have a mandate, they don't. >> they don't. all of us on republican side were hoping for a red wave, it is fair to say at-this-point it was a red mist at best.

but still, with that mist, the republicans can do a lot. by that i mean they can stop the democrats from passes more tax and spending bills and taking our freedoms away and they can fire up the investigations. elizabeth: listen to what governor desantis has been talking about. >> what florida showed is that you know good policies and good leadership can reverberate beyond your little silo of the people that agree with you on everything, we had people coming out to vote for us who may not have voted for republicans. >> at the end of the day, we showed in florida is just, produce results, lead with conviction, i never put my finger in the wind or took polls,y i just did what i thought was right, it election lets us to continue to deliver, you look at

problem that country is having, inflation, open border and different things, a lot of failures, florida is an example, you can get the big rings right. elizabeth: one -- big things right.. elizabeth: desantis became a national hero, trump was stuck with dr. anthony fauci that lead to shut down nation ride. nationwide. >> there is a difference, key difference, really that on policy, in terms of covid, donald trump stood by dr. anthony fauci, said there was 14 days, what to lockdown and slow the spread, that turned into longer. governor desantis said no we're not shutting down or businesses or keeping our kids out of school. elizabeth: desantis is more

hawkish on trump on foreign policy, and desantis is kind of dialing it back on abortion, trump has been more aggressive on being pro life. >> yes, i think what we saw in florida last tuesday was that governor understands how to both be a conservative leader but also build broad coalitions, he turned what was a classic swing state in florida to a ruby red republican state. he brought his whole team of electives down ticket with him. >> john thomas, sorry we ran out of time, we have you on soon thank you. >> thank you. elizabeth: i'm elizabeth macdonald, you have been watching "the evening edit" thank you for joining us, join us tomorrow night, have a good evening. ♪ ♪ ed
