5:00 pm
consider adding this. an aarp medicare supplement plan. take charge of your health care today. just use this...or this to call unitedhealthcare about an aarp medicare supplement plan. larry: truth telling in washington will we ever get it, money aunted fetterman, taxes and spending, prosperity killing even keeping the peace, milord. anyway, jackie deangelis, up next in for elizabeth macdonald. jackie: truth telling in washington, larry, it's impossible. larry: i know that's the problem you're right about
5:01 pm
that. jackie: great to see you and thank you so much. i'm jackie deangelis in for elizabeth macdonald the evening edit starts right now. all right, we are going straight to this horrific story. two of the four americans kidnapped friday in broad day light in mexico have been found dead. two others are alive and back on u.s. soil today. one person is detained in connection to the killings. the fbi is investigating the abduction in what appears to be yet another case of cartel fueled violence. fox news william la jeunesse is live in los angeles with more for us. reporter: well, jackie, the latest is this. mexico has one young man under arrest. two of the four americans are in a hospital in brownsville. that's the good news, however, their two dead friends remain in mexico at the crime scene so this is the video right here of a rural area where the victims were found, in a small town about 30 minutes outside of mata
5:02 pm
moras. police found them alive in the small house however, zindell brown was dead in a field nearby. today the white house reacted. >> attacks on u.s. citizens are unacceptable, no matter where or under what circumstances they happen. reporter: so what's next? well some on capitol hill want the u.s. military to go after the cartels with or without mexico's permission, an issue that attorney general merrick garland today did not directly address. >> i recommend we take the fight to the cartel and use extreme prejudice. >> the cartels are responsible for the deaths of americans, and we are fighting as hard as possible. reporter: so the american group had traveled south carolina to m atamoros to help one of the victims, mcgee save money on a tummy tuck, several thousand dollars less in mexico where officials believe the cartel hit of the american van was a mistake believing they were
5:03 pm
allied with the rival gang. now victor avalon, spent years in mexico with i.c.e. driving a black suburban when he too was mistaken for a cartel competitor >> a vehicle in their turf that they don't recognize might be a threat for them, and it might be something that they respond with gunfire, rather than to verify to see who those individuals in the vehicle are. reporter: so many people want payback jackie but the bottom line is justice in mexico is hard to come by. the effective prosecution rate is 2% and even when we do help mexico cutoff the head of the snake with the gulf cartel, rarely, do you see an end of violence or the end to cartel influence. back to you. jackie: yeah, it's a terrible story. william la jeunesse, thank you so much. joining me now to big in from house homeland security congressman michael gast. congressman it's great to have you on the program tonight. let me jump into this because
5:04 pm
the u.s. state department is warning that u.s. citizens should be very careful or avoid traveling to mexico all together, but the question that i have for uss that the right approach to this telling people not to go to mexico or should the administration be putting pressure on the government right now to make things safer? >> well thank you for having me and first i want to express my condolences to the family of the two americans who were killed in mexico. i think the events that transpired over the weekend show the very dangerous conditions that exist along the southwest border. i believe that all americans should take precautions particularly precautions anytime they leave the u.s. traveling just across the border because we see the drug cartels have become embolden but whether it be human trafficking, drug smuggling and now violent attacks on americans no americans should feel safe once they leave the united states. jackie: it's interesting too, because it's not just a problem across the border when you're in mexico but we've got a huge border issue ourselves,
5:05 pm
congressman, with people coming into this country illegally. we've got drug issues, we've got crime issues. peter doocy asked karine jean-pierre. i want you to listen and react. reporter: cartels kill americans on the other side of the border with drugs and now they are killing americans on the other side of the border with guns. why is president biden so comfortable with cartels operating so close to the u.s.? >> because of the work that this president has done, because of what we've done specifically on fentanyl at the border. it's at historic lows. jackie: i'm a little confused by that answer. i imagine you be too. i'm not exactly sure what work the president has done and as a matter of fact there's more fentanyl coming into this country than ever, so can you make any sense of what she's trying to say? >> well, and i would agree with your assessment. what we've seen now is along the border that the border has become a lawless society. i was in el paso two weeks ago. i'll be in mcallen next week. every community i've been in as
5:06 pm
i've talked to law enforcement agents, effected officials, they will tell you two things. one that the border is the worst they have ever seen it in their lifetime and they feel the federal government has a bond oned them. all americans should be extreme ly concerned with the conditions that we seen across the border and we now we see that americans have been killed and it appears that those killings are likely to have been at the hands of drug cartels. jackie: congressman, at this point, now that "the situation" has escalated should the cartels be considered terrorist? >> i think that that should be something that congress should very carefully look at, if we want to look at addressing these national, trans-national drug cartels, terrorist organizations to give us the ability to go after these cartels. we've seen the damage the cartel s have caused by smuggling fentanyl in the country. we've seen the treatment that the drug cartels have inflicted upon individuals trying to come into the country, and now we see that potentially drug cartel
5:07 pm
s have kidnapped four americans and killed two others that entered mexico for an elect elective drug treatment. all americans should be concerned with the lawlessness we have seen across the border. this administration has done nothing to address the problem and this administration should be held accountable. jackie: you started by expressing your sadness and your compassion for the victims and their families. i want to read something from one of the sisters of the victim , zindell brown, one speaking out now. she said, "this is like a bad dream. you wish you could wake up from to see a member of your family thrown in the back of a truck and dragged. it's just unbelievable." to think in 2023 that americans watch this video and live in fear whether they are traveling into mexico or they live in a border state or frankly, they live anywhere else, because a lot of that crime has come into our own country. how can you tell americans that they are safe right now? >> you know, what i can tell americans is that republicans
5:08 pm
understand that this is a problem. republicans are prepared to address this problem within the next two weeks republicans will introduce a border bill that will increase, include increased law enforcement agents , increase technology that will deal with our broken asylum process and that this is a problem that republicans have been talking about for two years i'm glad to see that the administration is finally waking up and they are finally paying attention but under this administration, we've seen record years back to back of illegal immigrants coming into the country. we're on pace to break that record once again. we've seen that the leading cause of death for americans 18- 45 is drug overdoses and many fentanyl related and now we've seen violent attacks in our border communities. all americans should be concerned if we don't stop this at the border, it will be in every backyard before we know it. jackie: final question, congressman. president biden, you say, he's woken up a little bit. he's a little bit more aware, but we still have a huge problem on our hands that we did not
5:09 pm
have before. do you think he will crackdown on the border? >> i hope so, and that's the intent. i hope that he will address the border. i know republicans will address the border and i know we're going to introduce legislation. we're going to be talking about this and the president is going to work with republicans and we're going to secure the border or the blood of all of the americans are going to be on the hands of this president. jackie: congressman michael guest, thank you so much, good to see you tonight. now turning to this. chinese official is now accusing the u.s. of being paranoid for expressing concerns that shipping cranes manufactured in china could be used here in the united states as agents of espionage. kelly o'grady live in wilmington , california with the details. hi, kelly. reporter: hi, jackie. yes, that's an unsurprising response from china, right? i want to give you a sense of what these cranes look like so i'm at the port of l.a. and you can see them out there. they are pretty hard to miss.
5:10 pm
they are used to transport containers from the ship to the shore and the concern is that those that are made by a chinese manufacturing company called zpm c could be used to spy on us so reportedly some national security and pentagon officials have gone so far as to compare these cranes to a trojan horse, and while expensive they contain sophisticated sensors that register and track containers prompting concerns china could capture information about material being shipped in or out of the country to support u.s. military operations so for some context, zpmc cranes are all over the world and the company says it controls around 70% of the global crane market and sells equipment in more than 100 countries and normally delivered fully assembled and operated remotely through chinese software and industry executives tell me it could make it possible for beijing to siphon intelligence or worse, disrupt our supply chain. now responding to the claims as spokesperson for the ccp said that claim is entirely paranoia and meant to mislead the american public and
5:11 pm
jackie it's worth noting that $850 billion defense bill is being used to investigate whether these cranes pose a cybersecurity threat. no findings on that yet but certainly something that is hiding in plain sight if you will. jackie: kelly o'grady, thank you so much for that. i want to bring in former state department official christian wh itton, along with former chief speechwriter for george w. bush bill mcgurn. thank you for joining us, gentlemen. the cargo reigns are manufactured in china and represent roughly 80% of the ones we use here at u.s. ports, so china's dismissing all of this while americans are very concerned, christian. >> china always dismisses this , always says it's paranoia , always says we have a mindset when it comes to concern about espionage and cyber intrusion and things like that and almost inevitably it turns out that those who are concerned or right, this was the exact
5:12 pm
same playbook they used when the previous administration and frankly a bipartisan consensus in washington became concerned about huawei in the previous decade, that's the chinese telecom company sort of like if you rolled apple and the nsa and qualcomm into one, and as it turns out that company was very much part of the chinese spying apparatus, so all of the software and much of the actual technical hardware that drives these cranes ought to be suspect, whether or not it's collecting data today that the chinese are using, or whether it's simply collecting information that could be useful in the future, so i think there's a reason to be concerned jackie: yeah, and bill, when it comes to president xi, the way he views the united states, the administration, the president as well, in a recent speech he made some remarks that i want to share with you. he said western countries led by the u.s. have implemented all around containment, encircle ment and suppression against us, bringing unprecedent ly severe challenges to our country it's development. so, that's the spin.
5:13 pm
that's the propaganda that's going out in china. your thoughts? >> yeah, i agree. look i don't know whether the cranes are being used. they are sending spy balloons over, and the play book was also used in covid. we have no reason to trust china one, they lied before. they are stealing our software and so forth, so we have no reason to believe them. second, whenever they get caught , they are beligerant, so we can't trust their word. i think trust is more important. what i'm kind of concerned about , i know there's a bipartisan consensus that we have to get tough on china, but i'd like to see it take the form of really getting serious and building up our military and building up taiwan's military, because it seems to me those are the urgent priorities. jackie: i think you're right
5:14 pm
and as a matter of fact, a piece in the "wall street journal" talking about the fact that if there were conflict, christian, we're not in the best position here in the united states to take that on. not only would we be fighting for taiwan, but we're also sending aid over to ukraine, so we be fighting on two fronts, but also, economically, we are so tied and so intertwined with china that we don't have the capacity here to necessarily produce goods and services that we need, that we rely on them for. >> that's right. $19 billion is actually the backlog of goods that taiwan has purchased. this isn't stuff we're giving away as we have to do with many allie support but stuff they purchased that hasn't been delivered and the administration after administration from both parties has said well, we're going to pivot or rebalance to asia, focus on asia. the biden administration said one of the silver lines of failure in afghanistan was well we can at least focus on asia and yet every year we have fewer ships, fewer advanced airplanes, just moved some f-15s
5:15 pm
, the "wall street journal" reported on this and replaced them with nothing. as far as our dependence on china, yeah it's very serious. the trump administration put tariffs on about half of what we import from china, but a sort of strategic delinkage of our economy, what bob lighthizer the former u.s. trade representative called for that hasn't really happened. it can happen, but we need presidential leadership. we haven't actually gotten the china policy out of president biden. jackie: yeah, you're exactly right. actually he's been weak on foreign policy and when president trump was exiting office was right about the time that he wanted to ban tiktok as well, and there are a lot of concerns about how that data and information collected here in the united states are used, but i want to get to this as well, bill, because jamie dimon talked about things that are sort of keeping him up at night and let me read it directly here. "the thing i worry about most is ukraine. its oil, gas, the leadership of the world, and our relationship with china. that is much more serious than the economic vibrations that we
5:16 pm
all have to deal with on a day- to-day basis." your thoughts? >> yeah, he's absolutely right. look, china is making a play with russia. if they supply russia, they would like russia to be dependent on them. makes them stronger, and i think we haven't responded sufficiently. again, i can't stress more, the key is a military buildup. a serious one for our own capability and also, of taiwans, and if we don't do it, not only, i think, does it encourage bad actors like china and north korea and putin and so forth. it will encourage other people to develop nuclear weapons on their own. look, if you were taiwan, and it looked like no one was going to help you, what would you do? jackie: yeah. christian whiton, bill mcgurn thank you so much for your time, great to see you both. >> thank you, jackie.
5:17 pm
jackie: new documents revealing a virginia public high school has received over $1 million in funding from chinese parties since 2014. we'll dig into that, plus, the house set to have eight hear ings in the next three days on the biden administration. some expected to dive into the biden family's financial dealings. congressman andy biggs from house oversight will give us the latest details on the evening edit. who's on it with jardiance? ♪ ♪ we're the ones getting it done. we're managing type 2 diabetes and heart risk. we're on it with jardiance. join the growing number of people who are on it with the once-daily pill, jardiance. jardiance not only lowers a1c, it goes beyond to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death for adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease. and jardiance may help you lose some weight. jardiance may cause serious side effects

jackie: welcome back. the house oversight and judiciary committee set to have eight hearings in the next three days on the biden administration committee officials warning accountability is coming for interference with the gop's probe into hunter biden, covid origins, the border crisis, and also, pandemic fraud spending. so many things people are worried about. joining us now is one of just three members on both house oversight and house judiciary, congressman andy biggs. congressman, it's great to have you here tonight. thank you so much for joining us >> thanks, jackie, good to be with you. jackie: let me dig into it first with what we kickoff with tomorrow. we're talking about covid origin s. is the house probe going to probe fauci's coverup, the fact that he tried to dismiss the
5:22 pm
fact that covid came out of that lab in wuhan. >> yeah, that's the ultimate objective is to find out what fauci knew, when he knew it, and then we suspect we know what it is, and then why he covered it up and who abetted him in that effort covering it up so this is the first of what i'd say will be several hearings dealing with the covid origins. jackie: okay, and thursday, oversight expected to examine the role of the office of personnel management. that's the government's largest agency. looking into the waste fraud and abuse of pandemic spending which by the way still continues. >> yeah, that's exactly right. reports we've had is that it's upwards of $800 billion to $1 trillion in fraud and waste during the covid-19 relief package spendings, so we want to get to the bottom of that and there is some other areas and issues we'll need to cover, everything from how they manage
5:23 pm
retirement issues to how they deal with waste and fraud, because they deal with a ton of money and they are dealing with all of our employees, so we want to know what they're doing with it and again, this is the first of an ongoing series and these are both going to be very, as you can tell, very vigorous committees over the next two years, and this really is the full week of getting going on it. jackie: absolutely, and i'm sure there will be some fireworks but congressman, on friday, really, you start digging into what i consider to be the good stuff, even though those first few topics are quite meaty. the treasury department is set to start testifying into the president's son, hunter biden, the laptop, his overseas business dealings. so many of us are sitting back right now looking at this president and how he's dealing with his foreign policy essentially and how he's dealing with china specifically and wondering what exactly went on there. >> yeah, exactly right, and so this first hearing is to deal
5:24 pm
with the suspicious activity reports and we've had two come to us from whistleblowers, and they are very damming about the amount of money hunter biden is receiving from foreign governments, and they indicate that it might lead actually into at that time former vice president joe biden, obviously now our president. jackie: go ahead. >> yeah, there were more than 150 of these sars in the treasury department refuses to give those to us, and the biden administration changed the rules so we couldn't get access and we requested in the minority and since we've come into the majority and they refuse to give us these reports. jackie: and the same way dr. fauci was trying to cover up the idea or the notion that covid came from a wuhan lab in china. there were a lot of attempts to cover up the hunter biden laptop story as well, and it just sort of unfolded and it blew up. it sort of is mind boggling.
5:25 pm
well all of this is happening, jill biden was talking about hunter biden. i want you to listen to this. >> how does your family deal with that intense focus on hunter? >> we deal with it by just, i guess, have a different perspective. i mean, i love hunter and i'll support him in any way i can and that's how i look at things. >> has the wave of investigations into him, does that factor into any of the thinking heading into 2024? >> no. jackie: a different perspective that's one way to put it. the perspective that many are looking at it is really asking the question, is this president compromised by his son's business dealings, and was he even possibly himself involved? >> yeah, i mean, we understand familial relationships, we love our family but good grief. we're talking about very questionable activity here and then the indication that it might lead right into joe biden
5:26 pm
himself, so we have got to get to the bottom of that. jackie: we sure do. you've got a lot of work ahead of you, sir, and we appreciate your time to night walking us through it, congressman andy biggs, thank you. >> thank you. jackie: all right 23 people charged with domestic terrorism after an attack on an atlanta police training construction site. they faced a judge in court today, and new documents reveal a virginia public high school has received over $1 million in funding from chinese parties since 2014. parents defending education, nicole mealy on the "evening edit" next. >> so we're upholding the concept of individual merit, treating people as individuals, and based on the content of their character, not trying to divvy up people by race as part of some woke sweepstakes.

5:31 pm
virginia public school thomas jefferson high school has been in hot water for the last few months for withholding national student merit awards scholarship s in this push for equity. now, new documents showing the fairfax county school has received over $1 million in funding from chinese parties since 2014. joining us now is parents defend ing education president and founder nicole maleotokasy. nicole always great to have you and to talk to you. so let's just start with the facts first because you obtained the documents. you went through them. what did you find? >> sure, as you said we found over the course of many years, this public high school, america 's number one magnet school in the country, internationally renowned for its stem program, has been receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars totaling over $1 million from chinese communist party linked entities including shareable holdings, which our government as well as many other government s has identified as being closely linked to the chinese military. jackie: right and this was a school that was trying to
5:32 pm
takeaway programs that distinguish between students that would encourage them to excell, that was trying to sort of breakdown and slowly erode the system, if you will. i'm wondering, you know, should parents be concerned about this , because i be concerned, thinking about china, having a hand in my direct public school. >> absolutely. they should be concerned on a number of levels. first they basically took this model overseas. there are now schools across china that have this thomas jefferson model and now we see it being in wars over equity and so now we have tj unable to compete on the global stage against its competitors in china is one worry. another concern is that students at tj actually participated in a number of mentor ship programs with a number of federal agencies such as the defense department, the state department and the chinese government had access to all of that student research through this , because of the funding that they had so what information went over overseas as a result of this funding? he who pays the piper calls the tune.
5:33 pm
jackie: do we have any sense of how this actually works between the chinese government and the school? is there anybody at the school that could be held accountable as a result of this? do we know or have a sense of how the funds were used, the million dollars? >> it's a great question. we looked and we actually were unable to find 990 for the tj partnership fund going back later than 2019 so it's a place to start looking into. as far as i'm aware the fairfax county public schools has not answered any questions about this but tj is also a governor's school so this is something the state of virginia should look into and we hope they do. jackie: this has been just a huge theme with respect to the data here in the united states, how the chinese maybe accessing it. we're talking about these potential spy cranes across the country. we shot down the spy balloon as well. we have the tiktok conversation on and on and of course tiktok is something that a lot of young people really like to use. i want to switch gears for a moment though, and just speak to you a little bit more globally about what's been going on, because the teacher's union boss
5:34 pm
, randi weingarten, we all know her, she writes a tweet, and she's criticizing ron desantis, and essentially, she misspelled the word "expanding." she accuses him of defunding, but she doesn't necessarily say what he was defunding. you know, it's all riddled with errors there as you can see on your screen. your thoughts on the public school system in this country, where we stand right now, especially in respect, you know, and in the context of competing with china. many parents feel that their kids are disadvantaged. then you've got randy randi weingarten writing a tweet she can't be coherent in. >> right you'd think somebody who couldn't spell words correctly shouldn't have anything to do with american education yet she has influence over hundreds of millions of dollars going to influencing elections and american education i think frankly she's the best advertisement than any of us have for school choice. there is a reason that millions of families have fled the public school system and frankly the
5:35 pm
reason hundreds of thousands of people moved to the state of florida over the past several years because of policies like this. jackie: we know so many that have moved specifically here from new york to california, and education has been a huge issue for them and that's why they have gone. speaking of that ron desantis commenting on what he is focused on in his state. listen. >> we've done things like ban critical race theory in our k-12 schools and now with our public universities, we are eliminating these dei programs which are basically ideological indoctrination, they are racial ly discriminatory, and its spread like wildfire throughout almost every college in the united states. we don't need to be injecting concepts like gender ideology into the schools particularly the young kids. jackie: nicole? >> we send our kids to school to learn, writing, reading and arithmetic. families in florida are grateful and families are jealous quite honestly. jackie: i think you're right. nicole neily, we're out of time but great tok talk to you.
5:36 pm
thank you for breaking that down to us. >> thank you. jackie: senator bernie sanders having some trouble explaining the difference between equity and equality. listen. >> how would you differentiate between equity and equality? >> well equality, we talk about , um, i don't know what the answer to that is. >> [laughter] jackie: isn't he the one person who should know know how to explain the difference? also, 23 people charged with domestic terrorism after attacking an atlanta police training construction site. they faced a judge in court today. former acting u.s. attorney general matthew whitaker, next on the evening edit. only at vanguard, you're more than just an investor—you're an owner. we got this, babe. that means that your dreams are ours too. and our financial planning tools can help you reach them. that's the value of ownership.

every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month, and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva.

jackie: 23 people charged with domestic terrorism after suspected for attacking an atlanta police training construction site, faced a judge
5:41 pm
in court today. critics are calling center cop city claiming that it will fuel police brutality and is destroy ing valuable forest land. grady trimble is live in washington d.c. with more for us grady? reporter: and jackie, police called those 23 people violent agitators. they had their first court appearance today where they are facing serious charges of domestic terrorism after that attack on what will be a law enforcement training facility in atlanta. right now, it's a construction site. the vast majority of those charged are not from the atlanta area though. they are not even from georgia. they came from as far away as connecticut, massachusetts, utah, even canada and france. only two of the 23 facing those charges are from the state of georgia. additionally, a non-profit called the atlanta solidarity fund is asking for donations to help pay the bails of and cover legal representation for the people arrested.
5:42 pm
that organization says that its purpose is to provide support for people who are arrested at protests or prosecuted for their involvement in various movements in this case, activism against that proposed training site. despite the domestic terrorism charge, it calls the act it vest s who were there protesters. we should also add that one of those who was arrested is a lawyer for the legal advocacy organization the southern poverty law center. that organization claims he was there in his capacity as a legal observer for the national lawyer 's guild, jackie. they also say that the police response was heavy-handed but you saw the damage those protesters did. jackie: certainly did. grady trimble, it was quite some video. thank you so much. joining me now with reaction to all of this former acting u.s. attorney general, matthew whitaker. always great to see you sir. thank you for joining us tonight you see the video and pictures of what happened in atlanta and
5:43 pm
think about the fact most of them people came from out of the state, two from out of the country only two lived in the state and you wonder to yourself how organized this was and why this particular center was targeted. what are your thoughts? >> yeah, i have a lot of thoughts and it's good to be with you tonight, jackie. i think first of all, we need to appreciate that this is an organized group that travels, causing chaos around our country i would not be surprised if you did the work that these individuals were also in washington d.c. in the summer of 2020 have been in places like portland and seattle where we have seen other violent protests and there is obviously a lot of protection for political speech and under the first amendment but once it resorts to violence and once it resorts to attacks on police using molotov cocktail s and professional fireworks, i think that's we're obviously the line was crossed, and, you know, based on all of
5:44 pm
the video that you're showing tonight, there is certainly more than 23 people that were participating and the fact that they only arrested 23 suggest to me that they had a pretty good idea for the main organizers and perpetrators were. jackie: the point that you make about where the line between protesting and rioting is really important, because the attorney general in georgia clarified that. let's listen. >> all but two were from out of state, and 23 individuals have been charged with domestic terrorism, and if you are convicted, that is five to 35 years in prison. protesters use words. rioters use violence. jackie: so i'm glad to see that 23 individuals have been charged here, but having said that, you brought up past riots that we've seen across the country as well, where there weren't ramifications. your thoughts on how we should be handling this. how also you secure the country to make sure that it doesn't continue to happen, because not only did they go after police in this particular case, but they
5:45 pm
also went after essentially the fire department they were doing fire safety training there too. that's very dangerous. >> it's incredibly dangerous and i think these individuals need to be used as an example as to how we won't tolerate this the fundamental mistake that was made in this case is i would not allow these autonomous zones , these campgrounds of protesters to illegally be form ed and then to build and organize and draw others to their cause to the point that you were saying earlier. most of these people were from out of state that were arrested. that suggests to me that this had been building over some period of time, and those camps should have been disbursed. i just don't think that it's appropriate that this leads to and you would expect it would lead to this type of violence and i don't think it's over unfortunately. i think for some reason this has become a lightning rod down there and we're going to see now after this clash, i think you'll
5:46 pm
see more of these situations. jackie: so i think you're right and i think in some regards they picked the wrong state for this particular incident. having said that when you look at what's happened across the country, there are those who leave that you've got these states where you have the soros -backed d. a., they backed off law and order and create an environment so that organized gatherings that become essentially lawless can go on, just like this one. >> yeah, we have these prosecutors in several metro areas including st. louis and portland and other places that are not prosecuting misdemeanors they are causing law and disorder, and it's too bad. we need to fix that. jackie: we sure do. we need to work on it. matthew whitaker thank you so much for joining us. always good to see you. >> thank you, jackie, great to see you. jackie: senator bernie sanders having trouble explaining the difference between equity and equality, and more cringe democrat moments, we've got

worthy saying that the story felt completely fabricated for reaction let's welcome former utah congressman jason chaffetz. jason, always great to see you. your reaction to that. you know, i didn't really actually think it was that funny when you start to peel back the layers or that it was fabricated. >> um, i don't know. believe with her, i don't know that it's true but let's assume that it is that cackle, i just can't get past it but yeah, look , she's not inspirational. she's not going to tackle something and say yeah, conservatives have something to offer. the whole premise of biden and harris was they were going to unite the country and bring people together but they continue to divide us and separate us and that's the end result. there's another example. jackie: yeah if it is true, and somebody was telling a little girl that conservatives are bad, that person would need to be checked, because kids really, you know, shouldn't be taught that when they are just

so here we are. >> yeah, exactly. jackie: host bill maher quizzing senator bernie sanders on woke equity language this is good too, watch. >> how would you differentiate between equity and equality? >> well, equality, we talk about, um, i don't know what the answer to that is. >> [laughter] >> you know, equality is equality of opportunity. >> equity i think is more guarantee of outcome, is it not? >> i think so. >> okay, so which side do you come down on? >> equality. jackie: jason? what do you think? >> all right, he's supposed to be the author of this. the champion of this , but yeah, look. the equity part, the guarantee of the unification of the outcome is something that i just think is counter to what americans truly believe in, and
5:55 pm
bernie sanders can't even remember what it is, so, you know, we have the opportunity in this country to be as ultra- successful as we possibly can, but i think that's also why the country kind of likes bernie sanders, even though i disagree with this , his approach. he just says what he's thinking and that seems to work for him. jackie: yeah, i hear you, but a little troubling at the same time. jason chaffetz, we're going to have to leave it there, thank you. >> thank you. jackie: all right, my two cents , coming up, next. stay there.
