vice president. why do they just delay disclosing these violations until now? could it tie into the biden family making money off of then vice president bide's government job? house gop plans to vote on a bill that woe abolish the irs, wipe out the income tax for a consumption tax. is that doable? with us tonight congressman greg stuebe, claudia 10 any, tony gonzalez. former top energy regulate neil chatter. ford o'connell. house republican jim jordan slammed democrat attacks. they are coming in now on the house gop new probes into white house, fbi and big tech censorship. we have the sound. new twitter files, top pfizer board member, dr. scott gottlieb, got a white house lobbiest to get twitter to censor a trump official for questioning the dangers of covid

"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show. we begin with stocks ending up. it was choppy trading. markets are pretty cautious ahead of key inflation data this week. we're talking december cpi, plus we gottens coming in. california pounded with a barrage of severe storms and flooding. tens of thousands evacuated w we have new reports, at least 16 now dead. a five-year-old boy remains missing. to this, president biden in mexico to meet with leaders of canada and mexico.

edward lawrence is in mexico city with more. he is live. edward, what is going on? >> reporter: yeah, i can tell you right now the president has had his bilateral meeting with prime minister of canada justin trudeau. today they had atry lateral meeting. right now president biden is speaking after the trilateral meeting. he is expected to take one question from reporter, each of the three leaders at that stage will take one question. there you have a live picture of the president talking next to him. next to him is the mexican president. next to time is the prime minister of canada. the leaders, they talked about migration with the economic message that the president pegs everything, any agreement on climate change. now, for example, when china grows its economic trade with russia, it is about the economy, not about climate. i asked nsc john kirby if the climate muddles the economic message. this is what he says. >> i would take the issue that

it is muddled somehow doesn't go hand in hand. climate change is driving economic instability throughout the region, certainly throughout the world. >> reporter: so the canadian prime minister and president biden on the same page over clean energy. the mexican president pushed president biden for more money and investments in mexico. now on immigration, the national security advisor says the president wants to see if his policy work before any major changes. earlier today at the bilateral with the canadian prime minister the president believes he does have the solutions. listen. president biden: i think we're achieving some really significant things. today we're going to discuss how wed can help stablize haiti, how we can deal with migration and, and at the same time bolster our national security. >> reporter: the administration has been calling it irregular migration, like it started happening but we know under president biden we had about

4.7 million people cross the border illegally. the president did confirm in march he will have another meeting going to canada to talk to prime minister there, justin trudeau to continue this conversation. back to you. elizabeth: edward lawrence thank you so much. joining us now, florida congressman greg stuebe. congressman, great to see you again. your reaction. house doj, fbi, investigating why president biden had top secret documents on iran, ukraine and uk at his think center? they were dated 2016. marked at highest level of classification. you can only reed them in a scif. what do you think of this. >> those document the were available to him and he criticized trump was completely irresponsible. is the fbi raid going to raid the white house? is the fbi going to hold him accountable for that? i don't think so.

thankfully congress instituted today, yesterday, these new select committees will investigate this type of thing, investigate the things going on in the fbi. they knew about this days before the midterm, nine days before the midterm election and did nothing to tell the american people about it. that goes to show you how politicized the fbi and the doj have been. that is exactly what republicans will bring forth, bring into the light for the american people as soon as that select committee gets appointed and we move forward with business in america. elizabeth: time frame for the documents, they were starting to set up, biden family was starting to set up business deals overseas to make money off president biden's government job. talking ukraine. there is this, china donated at least $67 million to upenn which the think tank was connected to. that is when upenn, vice president biden started talking up u.s. china relations. >> yeah. that is what is so important to get all the answers for the american people because we know biden is compromised and which

know his son made millions of dollars off the chinese communist party and we know there is evidence through the laptop that joe biden got his 10%. we want evidence before the american people that was exactly happening. while vice president was leveraging relationships with the chinese communist party for financial benefit to him and his family members. that is completely illegal. it is illegal conduct for government officials to do that type of activity. thankfully we have majority in the house. we created a select committee. and we'll fill the committee in the next week or so. the committee will get off to a fast-running start. elizabeth: congressman, biden has been in d.c. since nixon. the question, shouldn't he know he should not keep classified documents in a box with unclassified materials? we don't know who had access to them. hunter biden reportedly had access to the d.c. office. that is the question too. what are your thoughts about that. >> of course he knew he couldn't have those type of documents but

we have politicized doj that wants to raid president trump's home and go through all of their belongings for things the president has the ability to declassify and here you have a vice president with sci compartmentalized information in a place he can't have it and this doj is sitting silent and slow-walked the information to the american people, so they didn't get information before the midterms to directly affect the out comes of midterm elections. elizabeth: they knew about it for months, right? >> absolutely. elizabeth: we're still waiting for the doj to come out with findings in probe of hunter biden for his alleged money laundering and tax evasion. listen to the president talk about trump and mar-a-lago here. watch this. president biden: how that could possibly happen, how anyone can be that irresponsible. and i thought what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods? by that i mean names of people that helped, et cetera. and just totally irresponsible.

[inaudible conversations]. >> mr. president, did you mishandle classified documents? elizabeth: he claims he is transparent, attacks trump over mar-a-lago documents but then stays silent when reporters question him, congressman. >> of course. i mean, the rules for thee, not for me. you have a completely different standard in the doj. we'll get to the bottom of it and what he was criticizing as being completely irresponsible is exactly his conduct and what is more fascinating, he knew that at the time he was questioning making those statements about trump and those documents when he knew he had those documents at his own place that violated the law. elizabeth: media making this false equivalence about what aboutism? you're not supposed to have un, excuse me, top secret classified documents in an unclassified setting, a closet at a think tank that is connected to a university that is getting a lot

of chinese donations that is the issue. we don't know who had access to it. listen to joy behar, her take on this. president biden: how that could possibly happen, how anyone could be that irresponsible. and i thought, what data was in there that may compromise sources -- elizabeth: wrong sound there, so sorry about this. we had mixup there. joy behar was saying we know biden doesn't lie. what are your thoughts about that? >> well i think he lies every day to the american people and the facts flush that out. the evidence for the american people flush that out. saying border is secure. the border is under control. he is in mexico talking about climate change, not talking about the invasion at the southern border and national security threat that is posing and fentanyl overdose deaths. he can't even get that number correct. elizabeth: listen to the rhetoric from msnbc. watch this. >> there is reason why the hide away, hideout for some of these

bad actors go to ron desantis's and donald trump's florida. that tells you everything they know, chose places like florida and mar-a-lago as safe haven. at this point mar-a-lago is nothing but a front for criminal enterprise designed to undermine democracy worldwide. that is what is happening right now. >> i've not been shy about saying that mccarthy protracted fight over the speakers gavel with members of his own party was a continuation of that insurrection. elizabeth: mar-a-lago is a criminal front to sow unrest nationwide and public function of the house is somehow part of a rebellious conspiracy against the government. this passes for analysis on, in the media right now. >> yeah the only criminal enterprise is the biden family and them making money off his government relationships all these years. that is exactly what the republican conference will bring forth to the american people in the next year. elizabeth: let's listen to joy behar. we have the sound. watch this. >> we all know that trump is a

liar and a thief. you know? [cheers and applause] we know, that is not that big of a jump to say that he obstructed and he lied. we don't think that biden is a liar and thief, so we give him the benefit of the doubt. that is probably what is going on. why. elizabeth: we don't think biden is a lie liar and a thief. >> democrats accuse you exact same thing they're doing and that tells you what is happening in this country. joe biden time and time again lied to the american people. elizabeth: congressman stuebe, pleasure having you on. come back soon. >> see you. elizabeth: top lawmaker jim jordan slams democrats new attempts probes into white house and government officials on collusion and censorship. house gop plans to vote on a bill that would wipe out the irs. ban income tax and replace it with a consumption tax. is that even doable? congresswoman claudia tenney takes that on next on

that the house gop plans to move on a vote that, for a bill that would get rid of the irs, wipe out the income tax, and replace it with a consumption tax. we've got fox news aishah hasnie. she has more on the story in washington. >> reporter: elizabeth, good evening to you. house republicans are setting the tone for this new congress and it looks like there are some big battles ahead. first, house republicans are launching two new investigatory committees to begin oversight and democrats not happy about at least one, the one that is looking into the weaponization of government agencies. also there has been outrage over the bills republicans are rolling out aimed at spending. last night republicans passed the family and small business tact payer protection act. this is the irs bill which aims to rescind $71 billion that democrats sent to the irs to hire 87,000 new employees. senate democrats say they will block the bill, pointing to a

cbo analysis that shows the legislation would actually reduce revenues by 185 billion and add 114 billion to the federal deficit over a 10-year period. >> it is absolutely absurd. what the republicans are doing, plain and simple, is helping their friends, the multimillionaires, wealthy corporations who pay no taxes from being audited. we're not letting it happen. >> reporter: house republicans say it will go both ways, kill any senate bills, even those supported by senate republican. >> 2 goes both ways, they can't ram a bunch things down our throat like we can't to them. there will have to be give-and-take. time to fight back. >> reporter: liz there is a budget battle looming as house democrats say a government shutdown is inevitable thank to speaker mccarthy's concessions making sure that spending does not go over last year's limits. elizabeth? elizabeth: always great journalism or aishah hasnie. thank you so much. look who is back, new york

congressman claudia tenney. a pleasure having you on congresswoman. what do you make of this report. i mean house gop is moving on a bill to get rid of the irs, to do a consumption tax, is that even doable? >> probably not in this congress as long as the senate continues to fight us but i think we have to come out with bold measures right away and make them work with us and we can maybe find some middle ground. if we don't come out bold, we'll not get anything. it is kind of the art of negotiation at this point. i like ideas. look what is happening. we have a country with out of control spending, we have high taxes, which contributes to low growth, lack of prosperity. that is what we need. we need growth. we need prosperity. we need people to get back to work. we need businesses to benefit. we're looking at a pro-growth strategy. we have to start doing things differently because we've been going down the same path for how many decades. now it is time to rein in spending. we spent $1.7 trillion loaded

with projects not really helpful to the american people. they were pet projects from some senators, some on our side. some community projects are very good had a net zero effect on the budget but some we could have done away with. focus on things we need to have to keep the economy going and eliminate things we really don't need that look like they're handouts for pet projects for politicians retiring. >> monuments to me, like federal buildings named after nancy pelosi. the point is well-taken. average gdp growth is 3 1/2% post-world war ii. then it tanked 2% under the obama era going forward. there is a bill to stop new funding for the irs. unclear whether the senate will take that up. new push fork tax hikes are only approved by 60% majority vote. you introduced legislation last fall, redirect new irs funding to the border. the thing is, house gop can't afford to lose five gop votes or

nothing gets done. >> of course as i said, we're showing that we can actually get the votes. we have gotten votes since leader mccarthy was elected speaker. we have to stick together. we'll have people that are going to be not voting with us 100% of time. as you say our margins are narrow. look at irs, chuck schumer is melting down and going crazy, this is the same guy that wants full restoration for state and local tax deduction, which is loophole for wealthy people. that doesn't help small businesses and average low income taxpayer. cbo, congressional budget office actually confirmed when the irs is bulged up, we have the huge bureaucracy, remember they wanted guns for a while there. they wanted to be weaponized to that extent. democrats are typically against guns. when you look at 700,000 increasing audits all to people who make $75,000 in income or less, not the so-called 400,000 and up which the democrats claim is going to happen. look, i was a tax lawyer.

i helped out a lot of people, lower income, middle income, large corporations, people who could afford to come to me with tax issues were big income earners and big corporations, not these smaller businesses that are really on low margins. elizabeth: looks like the cbo estimates that democrats penciled in raising $20 billion for audits for those under 400,000. watch last night, late friday night, not one democrat clapped when kevin mccarthy announced the first thing the gop will do is stop new irs funding. every house democrat voted to keep irs funding and audits and harrassment of average americans intact. watch this. >> our very first bill will repeal the funding for 87,000 new irs agents. [cheers and applause] >> you know even former democrat irs commissioner john koskinen said $80 billion was too much money over a decade. that 25 billion was enough.

you know, to your point, again the cbo said yeah, the democrats are going to get the irs to go after taxpayers making under 400,000, raise at least 20 billion in new revenue from increased irs audits on the same taxpayers. your final word on that? >> here is the issue. the big issue is this, they're taking this bureaucracy doubling it. it will be nearly the size of the u.s. marine corps. everyone of those irs agents will get a payroll and well-paid. have weaponization. they will have more power to get after taxpayers. they will be on pensions. they will never go away. we're creating a even bigger bureaucracy which crowds out freedom, individual rights, ability of taxpayers to actually prosper. elizabeth: scary stuff. congressman 10 any, we'll stay on the story. have you back on. good to see you. >> great to see. >> we're excited to announce "the evening edit," we'll be moving one hour earlier to 5:00 p.m. eastern time starting january defend third. we'll be right after -- 20

think the larger agenda for the new republican majority, to start exercising oversight missing from congress the last couple years and clear up some concerns and misconceptions and perhaps we don't know, lies, that have been going on through lots of different areas, right? with the covid pandemic and information about that, some people have concerns about the election. there is lots of things that need to be uncovered and brought out into the light. so i think part of this effort is to make these investigations reliable and trustworthy. they should be reassuring that we'll get to the bottom of some of these things that a lot of americans have lingering questions on. elizabeth: to what jessica is saying ford, we have also this, house judiciary chair, jim jordan, he really went after democrats led by jerry nadler. now the democrats are trying to attack the house gop probes. watch jim jordan here. >> it is not a ploy when the department of justice treats parents as terrorists, moms and dads simply showing up at a school board meeting to advocate

for their son and daughter. it is not a ploy when the fbi pays twitter three million dollars, not one, not two, three million dollars to censor american citizens. former democrat chair of the judiciary committee saying in the press we'll fight this tooth or nail, this is political. meanwhile the former democrat chair of the intelligence committee pressured twitter to censor a journalist. this is about the first amendment, something you guys used to care about. i hoped we could get bipartisan agreement protecting the first amendment. elizabeth: they only care about fights for the first amendment when it works in their favor, ford, seems like that, right? >> i tip my hat to jim jordan. thanks to the twitter files we know the american government has been weaponized against the american people from all things covid to the hunter biden laptop story. look this is not a partisan issue. this is a we the people issue. the american people have been lied to by their own government and we need to know the extent of the coverup. >> what is really striking to

ford's point, jessica, they're looking how dr. fauci, dr. francis collins right at the start of the pandemic in 2020 talking about full court media blitz, supervirus is not man-made, i am came from nature, do a quick, devastating media takedown on scientists don't do lockdowns, but what is really striking that dr. fauci testified in the new missouri and louisiana lawsuit he said he was quote afraid that blaming the chinese for the outbreak would quote, increase tensions and reduce cooperation with china but jessica, that is not his role. he is not a diplomat. china was never going to let anyone inside of its lab. the pla locked it down. >> exactly right. whatever happened, didn't happen, hopefully we learn much more about that going forward on a lot of these fronts. the point that is not the role of government officials. they are not here to tell us what to think.

they can give the cdc opinion and guidance. to try to manipulate the media, social media companies is obviously an overstep. so i'm glad to see that the focus of these concerns is shifting from the social media companies themselves to the government pressure behind a lot of those decisions. you know i think that is where we learn a lot about what was really going on these days. if you read the twitter files, you see the social media companies are awfully resistant to complying with these requests initially. there has to be some reason, some pressure being applied that makes them go along with it. you see them in the back and forth. that is a problem. that should be a problem for republicans, democrats, everyone. the control shifts, the other guy is in charge next month. you don't want him to have influence either. there needs to be a bright line. elizabeth: so to what jess is saying ford, what is talked about in government trickles down to censorship in social media. dr. fauci earlier on in january of 2020 was sending a article by

science magazine theorized it was a man-made virus. one of the scientists on the email chain says looks engineered. but then you see this twitter censorship start to roll out. final word, ford. >> this is censorship by surrogate. this is suppression by surrogate. that violates the intent and spirit of the first amendment. these bureaucrats like fauci in the federal government need be to held accountable. elizabeth: jessica, ford, that was terrific interview. come back to see you. good to see you. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: america is battling a lot of problems but now the white house is focused on banning gas stoves when americans are running on fumes due to high energy costs and inflation. also we have new twitter files, a pfizer board member, dr. scott gottlieb he got a biden white house lobbiest to get twitter to censor a trump official, dr. giroir, for questioning the dangers, talking about the dangers of covid vaccines. then the white house tried to

♪. jo back with us now, dr. nicole saphier. doctor, always a pleasure having you on. good to see you. okay these new twitter files have dropped. these new twitter files indicating pfizer board member dr. scott gottlieb used a twitter lobbiest at the biden white house to censor a tweeter dr. gottlieb did not like from former hhs secretary brett giroir. dr. giroir was criticizing covid vaccines. what you saw the story, what was your reaction? >> you know, liz, it was

interesting, dr. scott gottlieb, very highly-educated man. former fda director under trump. he did a lot of great work, decreasing vaping when it came to our youth. since he left the administration, he was on multiple boards, including pfizer. medical contributor for one media outlet. he was a pretty common face during the covid-19 pandemic providing information. one thing released in the latest twitter files, several tweets put up by multiple different people, one was on natural immunity. he went to twitter saying this is the type of tweet that can go viral and you know didn't actually give any data or any fact the saying that the tweet was wrong. it was really he didn't like it. unfortunately as we, fortunately as we know, natural immunity is probably just as strong if not stronger as vaccine-induced immunity. while i understand someone sitting on a pfizer board may not want to acknowledge that

truth, the bottom line is, that people who are speaking about natural immunity had just as right to be heard as dr. gottlieb did as well. it is supposed to be free speech. when it comes to medical stuff you are supposed to have debate. that is how we move forward but i can tell you, liz, there was actually one tweet that bothered me a little bit, the timing of it and i have a lot more questions about it. there was a tweet sent by justin hart questioning, said hey, covid-19 is extremely low risk in kids, approaching 0% fatality rate. that is true. there is no misinformation in that but dr. gottlieb did go to twitter tried to get that labeled as misinformation. the timing of that was a little suspect. that was september 2021. i'm not sure if you remember during that time, that is about the time pfizer was seeking emergency use authorization for five to 11 year olds on vaccines. elizabeth: that is not good. >> as a mother of three, i have some questions. elizabeth: that is not a good look at all, for, your timing is

an important point that you just made about it, the timing of this. by the way dr. brett giroir was saying get vaccinated in the same tweet. the irony, alex berenson doing twitter files, censored by twitter raising questions about all this the biden white house pressured facebook to censor a video by tucker carlson critical of vaccines in april of 2021. nicole, doctor, this is coming out of the missouri, louisiana, state attorney generals lawsuit against big tech collusion. they tried to get facebook to censor tomi lahren's post about why she would not get the covid vaccine last year. what are your thoughts about that. >> a lot of things were going on. people were not to question the what the talking points were. we were not to question the establishment, which is against science and medical. to admiral giroir's tweet, if

you have covid your natural immunity is likely protective. if you have not had covid, high-risk, get vaccinated. everything about that is factually true, but it was labeled with misinformation. that unfortunately because he wept against what the establishment was saying. i'm telling you, liz, a lot of this will come out and they were in the wrong. elizabeth: get your reaction to eric clapton. eric clapton said after his second covid vaccination he said he lost the use of his hands. watch this. >> though the vaccine took my immune system shook it around again. that is still going on so, then i read you know a lot of the evidence that i had been reading about with people that were having adverse reaction. that was on the list was, you know, damage to the immune system. >> you do feel like you were made aware of those risks beforehand? >> oh, god no. i lost the use of my hands for

about three weeks until, i was, in real trouble. and that is about that point i, i was invited by robert minotti to talk about it. it was easy to say yes, i realized that i'm definitely, by then i realized i wasn't the only one that was suffering. elizabeth: so this rock and roll legend, he lost the use of his hands. he says it is because of the vaccines. he is saying he did not have informed consent about the dangers of the vaccines but we're not allowed to talk about that eric clapton is not allowed to talk about that, doctor? >> that is devastating to hear. my husband probably his number one fan. one of the things that went away when it came to medical ethics with this vaccine the right of autonomy where a patient has the right to decide what is best for them and their health that was stripped away with the mandates, with every single physician saying you have to get it, you have to get it without a lot of
