of china tiktok caught spying from china on u.s. journalist in congress again, they went week on big tech in the new spending bill in this new report former u.s. intelligence officials including the cia and the fbi are all over silicon valley in top jobs. they get their own private slack channels at work. u.s. marines to the rescue they stop the smashing grabbed looting in california in this feel-good story at church got fed up with a local hotspot for crime they bought it. i am elizabeth brentano, "the evening edit" starts right now. welcome to the show, stocks indian higher, as the markets waved slower consumer spending, that's been offset by slower inflation reading in november consumer spending drives two thirds of the economy government

spent so much money the past years we have 40 or high inflation in congress moving of the $1.7 trillion spending bill we have senior congressional correspondent chad pergamum d.c. with more. the auto bust is done the house voted to 25 - 221 to align with the senate and governor from the government with the next editor kevin mccarthys about for speaker. >> m atrocity one of the most shameful acts of receiving those buddy underbody no greater example of a nail in the coffin of the greatest failure of a one-party rule of the house, the senate and the presidency. >> after listening to that is clear he doesn't have the boat. >> one democratic no alexandria ocasio-cortez, nine republican yays, don't take several days to assemble the bill get to president biden to sign, that's a congress approved an

additional interim bill to fund the government through december december 30. liz: thank you chad pergram, great reporting. with his back former arkansas governor mike huckabee, merry christmas to you, good to see you. >> merry christmas thank you for having me. liz: no debate no hearing congress not reading the bill, they did not physically show up they showed up by proxy. federal spending went up and up they spent an extra $10000 a year under joe biden, what do you think about this. >> there's a couple things, the process itself the people that had all year to work on the budget didn't and then they wait until the very last minute and pretend it's a big emergency that they gotta get it done because they gotta go home for christmas the truth is the college frat boys that never studied and partied all semester and did an all-nighter right before the finals and can't

imagine why the professors are ticked off with the failing grades, the fact is this is not how you run the government but this is how this congress has behaved, the content of the bill, and has more pork in it than arkansas razorback football game, i've never seen anything more disgraceful than a $1.7 trillion bill filled with all sorts of nonsense that has nothing to do with helping taxpayers get back on their feet financially and the republicans who voted for this to be ashamed on themselves, they showed some spying, instead all they did was say whatever you need check were there for you. >> were showing the pork now, were also going to show house minority as sample of some of the pork, house minority leader kevin mccarthy and chip roy, they had some fiery floor speeches again suspended,

watches. >> they cared so much about the people that senator leahy gets numerous projects named after himself because the people wanted that. shelby get something named after him too, speaker pelosi, she gets a couple of things named after her, because the people are more important than the politics because that's what the people of america want right now. >> half this body is not even going to be here and there lying, they're lying on forms saying that their voting by proxy for covid and its ally and half his body's going to do it, you know it and is destroying the country. i'm not going to sit here and roll over on this. this is going to continue. liz: the really angry and here's the thing we understand parts of the bill seemed good 300 new border agent funding but they cut back on the border later on and governor there is an

increase for things like disaster aid and mental health issues that is important stuff but it's a fact that they have not passed budget bills on time for the last 26 years they worked less than half the time as average american works last time they met the october 1 deadline was 1996 and were seen monuments to me that kevin mccarthy pointed out we have a new nancy pelosi federal building in san francisco, the new nancy pelosi fellowship for the state department and more what is going on is in the dead of night pendant filmmaking. >> if you make a big pot of stew you can say there's a lot of stuff carrots and peas and beef and wonderful ingredients. but if in the midst of the stew you put a taste spoonful of rat poison you ruin this to.

there's a lot of congress saying there's a lot of good and i argue that but there's poison and what chip roy and kevin mccarthy said needs to be set on the senate floor and i wish some of the republicans 18 would've thought about how ridiculous it makes them look to vote for chuck schumer in the horrible bill they might as well take in their own teaspoon, put rat poison and dumped it in there and said some of it will kill you but there's some really good stuff in the pot of stew. >> to your point they want to spend trillions of dollars in the bill that they didn't read as they demand details on the tiny $600 phone app transactions that we do with venmo and the irs agents to offer little guy for the spending there's breaking news it will delay until next year until the $600.1099 requirement for the phone app like venmo so

taxpayers can better prepare his children happen in 2024. >> 87000 new irs agents is included in that bill why do we need those guys, what is it that they're going to do, they're not going after billionaires, there's not that many billionaires to go after, what they're going to go after is a very low-income taxpayers in the going to go after them for hundred dollars here and $600 there and it's just going to become more ridiculous that our tax system already is it to disgrace and this is the worst christmas present that they could give us basically congress gave us a lump of coal. liz: the other thing we wish we got coal and natural gas and oil and are stocking from this administration by governor there's no amendments to keep in place title 42 after president biden is getting rid of it he's got more than 300 executive actions to weaken the border. he said the pandemic is still on but to get rid of that pandemic

order policy to read your reaction the new book by christopher whipple claims the president was furious about the border crisis he created that he was cursing behind the scenes do you believe that? >> if it is in a be the worst sign he had some reality of what was going on with the border he seems oblivious to it as his entire administration in the department of homeland security secretary who should be fired not impeached. the fact is this is a border that is why the disk, joe biden has been inattentive any sign, here is to look after she finally went down a good quick look to do anything joe biden still hasn't been there and he says he is more important things to do tell that to the people along the border both in texas and arizona they think it's a pretty big deal. liz: to your point if he so upset why didn't he go to the border and why does he refuse to

take questions like he did yesterday he pointed to questions at the end of the christmas address. if you can see that you can see lindsey graham weighing in. >> merry christmas, happy holidays and all the best of the new year, god bless you all and may god protect our troops. thank you. >> you said nothing to fix the problem he's never been to the border so unconscionable with people trying to control the board what life is like a longer southern border. the fact that he doesn't go shows to me that is disconnected and he doesn't give a damn he doesn't have to drop them in the white house. why does lindsey graham and the gop senator fight to keep the title 42 mm in place. >> i don't care whether joe

biden physically goes to the border, what i care about he delegates somebody that would do something to seal the border and pretend america is a sovereign country and were not just an open door for anybody and everybody to come through and we put more restrictions on american citizens than we do illegal immigrants that's what i like to see and do. >> governor huckabee merry christmas to you and yours, good to see you. >> thank you, merry christmas. >> this story workers at china's parent at tictac reportedly spied from china on u.s. journalists but reuters is reporting tictac is trying desperately to convince the u.s. it is safe and not chinese spyware, this update 200 million under winter warnings power outages immediately what a half-million in an arctic blizzard the washington times charlie hurt next on "the eveninit'sg edit". for what you need!

temperatures again are plunging within hours below freezing we have airline cancellations and delays. it is piling up, madison always at new york international airport with the very latest. >> across the country americans are struggling to get to their final destination as people check in there hoping the flights are delayed or worse canceled. i met a family that was delayed in their flight has not arrived from minneapolis. they're wondering if they're ever leave newark airport. >> were looking at the 6r delay right now but that is only right now. we keep watching and it keeps getting pushed back. the plane is still minneapolis so those passengers have been sitting on it for five hours at this point. were hoping there is no timeout or crew switch that they need to do. >> they are far from alone, thousands of delays and cancellations across the country. part of the problem some runways

have been completely shut down. seattle-tacoma international airport closes runways for portion of time because of ice. that is leaving flyers strained in the worst hit areas. were talking about a lot of flyer seven-point to million americans expected to fly between now and the end of the year many of them caught up in the current problems were seen because of the store. i'll send it back to you. liz: thank you so much were getting to be up-to-date and you can get it on the latest warm news on the "fox weather" app, show the subzero temperatures show the power outages, this is a ro series tough. this does not look good for the rest of the nation now it's pushing to 1.2 trillion have outages. >> i think it's good to be very cold and very cold in places that are not used to it being

cold. if you look at those numbers down in the deep south as far as austin, texas all the way across the florida panhandle they are going to see temperatures they are not used to. >> let's move on to this, president biden just signed into law the repeal of his own vaccine mandate for the u.s. military and u.s. troops after the white house for months so they can keep the pentagon, now this changes the midday would you think. >> it makes absolutely no sense and underscores how slapdash all these policies are right now, they don't have a coherent policy on covid in particular the biden administration wants to make a permanent person inside the white house in charge of covid response may want to keep in place emergency powers

and the money that comes with emergency powers but the larger issue, are you kidding me we already have in place positions in the federal government that were supposed to do, the cdc and the nih the center of disease for disease control and the person is been in charge is anthony fauci. if you look back over the past three or four years it would've disaster they happen and protecting the country from a pandemic what makes you think somebody in the white house schedule better job they have no strategy for this and another positions are based in reality, they just want the power and money that person assisted on the security counsel and enshrining inside the white house they botch the messaging and they shut down the little guy but kept the big box scores i costco open and walmart open.

scientists worldwide said it did leak out out of a lab in china because of the virus has never been found. the dna has never been found in nature. i got a return to this the president yesterday said god bless our troops humble blessing the 8400 troops that are discharged for not being vaccinated by doing an executive order and reinstating them back. >> absolutely. just sort of trying to cover up the fact that they committed these atrocities to the people who serve the country that's not enough every single 1 million women should be reinstated with back pay and rewarded in other ways as well. that goes for not just the people who vowed to lay down their lives to protect our country but also the people who served and more local capacity

working for city governments, state governments who also lost their jobs because of the wild insane power-hungry crazy democrats particularly in large cities who were so wedded to this maniacal control over people's lives that they fire people and discharge people because they were unsure about wanting to take an experimental vaccine that we had not run all the tests on, which by the way science shows now it does have some problems with it. liz: yes, the fda, nine researchers just put out a new study, nine fda researchers said it causes pulmonary embolism's senior citizens and we have been during a and pfizer during clinical test to check on her conditions like myocarditis but critics are calling him a bully, keith olbermann is saying democrats should take at the

baseball bat and bash anybody who disagrees that covid was naturally made and came from nature. what your reaction to that, you're going to see doctor andrew huff he talked to estes from echo health alliance which dr. fauci funded he worked at the wuhan lab you're going to see that and the ceo of moderna and then keith olbermann, watches. >> the sequence was found in a lab in the medina boxing but not nature? >> correct we started looking into the data and as i said before the purpose escaped by an accident as possible, human make mistakes there's a possibility the wuhan lab in china was working on the viruses on a gene modification and it was an accident were somebody was infected in the lab and infected families and friends.

>> when they go hi, we go though. when they go blow we get baseball bats that should be the next get obama out there saying when they go blow we get baseball bats. >> they want to dow congressman is a complete fictitious character. >> entrées amazing. >> built in a lab somewhere. liz: issued a lead on the full-screen keith olbermann is encouraging democrats to fight against gop probes, what is your reaction to what you just heard from him. >> keith ober person is a moron and is desperate for attention because he is absolutely no platform but that bullying has been going on a long time the people that are antiscience, anti-truth, anti-reality and i speak from experience the washington times back in january or february i can't remember the exact date of 2021st reported

about the possibility of the wuhan lab of neurology and wuhan and the problem with the security of the studies and you know twitter, facebook, google, the washington post all of the entities came out and silenced us and they hid our story. not only that the washington post and the new york times and these people did the quote unquote fact checks on our story raising serious questions about the wuhan lab saying we were making stuff up and spreading this information but it turns out it's completely true these people are antiscience into truth in keith olbermann is one of them. >> diet, good to see you. pray congress goes week on big tech in the new spending bill, we have a new report former u.s. intelligence officials, all over silicon valley getting top jobs reports coming in there are so

liz: tiktok says it's not spyware, it's safe, the parents had tiktok caught spying from china on u.s. journalist. the parent is bytedance. bytedance says inspired for workers over the spirit hillary vaughn has a story on capitol hill. >> forbes reported some of the reporters were secretly surveilled by tiktok's parent company bite into track them by accessing the parent company trying to see if the paths crossed with bytedance employees predict tiktok spokesperson said they made changes make it harder to access user data telling fox this, the misconduct of certain individuals no longer employed a bytedance was an egregious misuse of the authority to

obtain access to user data, the news comes as congress passed a ban on tiktok on government devices while some and congress while a total ban. >> there is bipartisan support, nothing more than a chinese communist party spy operation on millions of americans. >> for bytedance employees were fired as a spiking campaign to end the u.s. into in china. the four employees being off the payroll may not be enough to convince everyone in washington something like that will not happen again. liz: great journalism as always, joining is now take ten the top policy expert at the heritage foundation. it's good to see what your reaction of the report read china and tiktok keep saying tiktok is safe or not doing what people accuse us of, what do you think of this. >> it doesn't come as a surprise we know since trump banned this in early of august 2020 that this could happen.

we knew this was the natural international security threat and we let it stay on our devices because we hesitate to act in any capacity against big tech, but this case the really big story is these were journalist. the reality is average consumers like you and i have tiktok on her phone pulling our geolocation data two. across-the-board americans are being surveilled. liz: why do they want the geolocation data. >> it tells you everything you need to know about individual, where they were coolly associated with, think about this in the context of the regional power suppliers as millions of americans about power we know the corporate executives are travel patterns to their meeting with all from tiktok if it's on their phone they have everything so we need to put an end to this are surveilling the top important industries and most important people in average ordinary americans in their children. liz: to your point, heritage foundation cara friedrichs says if you have tiktok on your phone

you have to act together chinese communist party in your pocket. to your point, but feed news did a story revealing the china-based bytedance workers, that the parent of tiktok repeatedly accessing u.s. user data and they got it based on more than 80 hours of audio recording of internal tiktok meetings or officials were talking about that. >> is another story we keep getting these leaks and forbes reports and no one does anything we got a couple of angry tweets on lawmakers from capitol hill, maybe state governors banded on government devices the average consumers remained exposed in as tara noted you have to act as though the constantly listening and monitoring everything that you do and it shouldn't be a reality in the united states. liz: can china be a tiktok in everyone's text messages, photos, location data, their

e-mails, their contacts, can they get everything on the phone? >> yes and no to some of those, we don't actually know the full extent which they can infiltrator devices because the lawmakers will be forthcoming. our government knows the exposure and were not being told we know geolocation, we know keylogger stroke so anything you type in password related they can monitor but we don't know the extent to which they can pull data that were left in the dark ultimately it's inexcusable. liz: good under great insights, good to see you. this feel-good story u.s. marines to the rescue our soldiers stop the smash and grab looting in california. we'll get to the update on that. congress went weak again a big tech in the new spending. regular tell you why in the new explosive report former u.s. intelligence officials are all over silicon valley getting top jobs there is somebody at twitter they had their

to sway the outcome of the 2020 election there's no other conclusion. what's amazing there working for an administration and their actively seeking to undermine that administration with false information about the hunter biden story. it's shocking in the shamelessness of these people, these are the same people that perpetrated the russian collision hoax in there now doing it openly. of course nobody the mainstream media even fox reported on this, it is stunning. >> fbi cause internal e-mails the factual text messages this information but the fbi won't say if it talk to the biden campaign for the 2020 election. basically it won't talk about whether gave twitter information about hunter biden and is declining to talk about lucy other social media companies.

he paid twitter three and half million dollars for the work you did for the fbi. to your point is disturbing the fbi doesn't have to account to the taxpayer how they spend the taxpayer money. >> there needs to be bit you won't get from this administration and you won't get from this house of representatives but hopefully you get it from the new house of representatives and hopefully there will be an investigation targeted to the specific point not just hunter biden, what did these people do, i don't know how you can say it other than a cabal in a deeply corrupt cabal. there should be a thorough leadership housecleaning at the borough. we won't see in this administration but is going to come. liz: reports coming in government agents working across silicon valley former twitter cia agents inside and up the top

ranks in a most every politically sensitive department at meta former cia agents reportedly work at google this is stunning if the story is t true. >> if you know how the fbi works into a lesser extent the cia. the only thing different about this is that they finally infiltrated the high-tech industry. for years they did this with military contractors, they would go to work the retiring agents would go to work and hanky-panky went on. what's new about it is high-tech in the media companies and is very dangerous. liz: will have you back on, great to see you. thank you for spending time with us friday night. it's good to see you. >> president biden and dr. fauci all insisted pandemic is not over so why is the white house fighting in court to get rid of the pandemic policy for the border that is title 42. the u.s. marines to the rescue

liz: u.s. marines stepped up and they stepped in to stop again looting near los angeles yesterday. we have fox news christina coleman in l.a. with the story. >> sadly many of us are used to seeing disturbing videos of thieves getting away with smash and grab during the holiday but that did not happen this time, these guys thought they were slick fasting into a jewelry store at an l.a. county mall on tuesday scaring choppers. >> be my wife walking down the mall doing last minute christmas shopping and all the sudden we heard loud banging noise and we turned around and we saw a group of men smashing the glass. >> the good news of thieves did not get far apparently they

didn't care where they release a store they were breaking into is located next to military recruiting office and office with men and women who protect and serve. when the marine recruiters and marine corps applicant her glass shattered during the robbery they jumped into action with a brief takedown. >> salute that's my home he put it down for america. >> they kept two of the four suspects in place until the police arrived and took them into custody. a witness described the suspects as juveniles who again did not make it far. >> this is the marine corps the stepped up the recruits they tackled him down, to get away into got tackled on and they stepped it up. >> in a statement whether the marine recruiters responded to the robbery said he was trying to do the right thing to be a good steward of his community. >> that the feel-good story,

click enter christina coleman thank you for your journalism we really appreciate it let's welcome back to the show from the hill and media columnist, joe concha. that's quite a story what did you think of it when you heard it. >> i'm thinking about time folks fight back against the stuff not everybody's marina can fight back but the smash and grab go on way too long and they happen way too often. in somebody cities and somebody towns read when these folks are rested there back in the street at the time it delivers a pizza. i'm glad to see you but happens far too often and that's because too many mayors and too many governors and democratic red states and cities allowing this to happen in district attorneys who don't enforce the law and say this is a slap in the wrist it's okay, it ain't okay, this has to stop because no one feels safe anymore. liz: it's important what you're saying were seen more and more reports nationwide. a minority neighborhood group

minority community groups that up they don't like what democrat officials have been doing to weaken their safety. this other story this church in minneapolis the real believers faith center was so fed up with crime and drug dealing and a marathon gas station right next to the church when i bought the gas station and now crime is down. >> is a great wall street journal story i recommend everybody read it why does the local pastor have to be forced to raise millions of dollars to buy a gasoline station and run his own community patrols to give drug dealers a bad area near his church why aren't local officials hiring more police officers and why isn't the da doing his job. in minneapolis where this happened is set a record last year for the most homicides in his history all why the mayor was to abolish the police everything policing it's an absolute joke.

in the end i'm glad this pastor took everything in these matters into his own hands. this is up to the mayor and governor and local officials to do their job. >> in the state attorney general keith ellison from minnesota saying he was going to sue local businesses for not doing enough to stop crime when that is his job. the bullying the constant bullying and beating up regular taxpayers and businesses is wrong. the other story you sell 135 businesses and people in san francisco the tenderloin district saying enough we're going to boycott paneer taxes, were then asked for a refund and then you get to see santa monica business people fed up with the crime of the drugs in santa monica there hanging sign saying depravity has to stop. >> this is in the deepest blue state of california and san francisco. they fire the district attorney

early this year, san franciscans did this when we see nancy pelosi into the sunset as house speaker, she's looking to stay in congress we're going to hear all about the legacy and how great it was, actually it wasn't because nancy pelosi allows san francisco to be a great city when she took office. what was the nowadays people moving out because they can't take the crime there anymore inaccurately not to pay the taxes, that's about things are in nancy pelosi san francisco. liz: joe concha, good to see you merry christmas and happy holidays. >> i hope you are get elizabeth. >> i wasn't but will talk about it another time. president biden is insisting the pandemic is not over. dr. fauci says the pandemic is not over, why is the white house fighting in court to get rid of the pandemic policy the border policy called title 42. arkansas governor asa hutchinson on "the evening edit" next.

waiting. sometimes it's just inevitable. but if you're over 50 or live with a chronic condition, waiting could be deadly. because conditions like heart disease or diabetes raise your risk of serious illness or death from untreated covid. and if you don't get treatment within days, you may not be able to get treatment. so, got covid symptoms? get tested and get treated right away. it can't wait. nicorette knows quitting smoking is freaking hard. you get advice like... just stop. go for a run. go for ten runs. run a marathon. instead, start small with nicorette, which will lead to something big.

liz: let's welcome to show the governor of arkansas asa hutchinson it's a pleasure to see you merry christmas to you. >> merry christmas, great to be with you and we appreciate you covering the important issues that we enter into the christmas

season. >> thank you, let's talk about the sunol president biden said the pandemic is not over dr. fauci said the pandemic is not over, let's watch this. >> still in it i think you need to look at the numbers we have between three and 400 deaths per day so i think the idea that forget it this is over, it isn't were going into the winter i do want to see anybody suffer and die from covid. >> why is the president fighting in court and fighting at the supreme court level to get rid of the pandemic policy for the border that the pandemic policy called title 42. >> because he has a separate agenda versus trying to manage the public health of her nation and the fact is we have covid in the flu and we manage the covid in the same way you manage the flu not in the public of the
