larry: i bet next year, easter mass without fbi spies, just saying, possible. anyway, jackie deangelis, in for elizabeth macdonald, up next jackie: that sounds like a plan larry kudlow, always great to see you, sir, thank you so much. all right, folks americans questioning president biden's priorities. he's visiting ireland as this

administration faces multiple challenges here, and on the global stage. meantime, florida pushing landmark legislation that bans communist china from owning land and conducting business in that state. plus, terrifying new video showing the reality of the crime crisis plaguing democrat-run cities in this country, and fox uncovering that hunter biden's business partners visited the white house over 80 times when joe biden was vice president. i'm jackie deangelis in for elizabeth macdonald. the "evening edit" starts right now. jackie: welcome, everybody. before heading to northern ireland this week, president biden formally ended the covid national emergency, raising some concerns about the future of pandemic policies and his

presidential priorities. fox news jacqui heinrich is live in belfast, northern ireland. good evening, jackie. reporter: good evening to you, jackie. the white house admits that president biden's visit to ireland is in part about explor ing his ancestral roots but also billing this as official business checking in on the status of a peace agreement between ireland and the uk standing for a quarter century. biden said today this was his top priority this week. >> make sure the irish accord and the winter agreement stay in place, keep the peace. reporter: meantime, biden so far has said nothing about china's record breaking war games around taiwan, following their president's visit to the u.s.. beijing's military encircled that self-governing island over the last three days and carried out military exercises including simulated missile attacks and called complete reunification with china a process that can not be halted. taiwan' foreign minister said

today in their view china is preparing for a war on taiwan, and a new poll from pew research is showing that more than half of americans doubt president biden's ability to deal with china. 65% is saying they aren't at all confident or not too confident but the administration is also putting out diplomatic fires after leaked intelligence suggested that the u.s. has also been keeping tabs on its allies. john kirby is saying today that we're reaching out to our partners and appropriately speaking to people. he would not confirm who those people are, or the details of those conversations and was careful not to speak to the validity of those leaked documents, but the white house says the president didn't make any foreign leader or domestic leader calls during his seven hour flight here to bell fast on which he was accompanied by his sister valerie and his son hunter. the white house says he's spent the majority of his time prep ping for events this week that includes remarks he's set to give at a cathedral for which

his great great grandfather sold the bricks that were used to build it. so aside from a few glimpse of some bilateral meetings, we are not expecting a whole lot of opportunity to ask questions of the president. there is no news conference scheduled but the white house seems okay with that. listen to this. >> he has answered over 320 questions. that's not even including more formal press conference and interviews. it's more than president trump. it's more than obama. reporter: today the white house did not deny a report that the administration is going to lean heavily on influencers to get their message out ahead of the 2024 election, including a few who are prolific on tiktok. there's even reporting that the white house is going to give them their own briefing room. the white house didn't deny that report today, even though the administration is right now

weighing a ban on that app over national security concerns. jackie? jackie: jacqui heinrich, so much in that report. excellent reporting, thank you, we are going to unpack it all now. great to see you. joining us now from house financial services, congressman french hill and washington examiner correspondent, byron york. gentlemen great to see you tonight. thank you so much for joining us congressman, let's go ahead and start with you, and as i said that really was a full report from jacqui heinrich, but let's talk about president biden here for a moment. he has dragged this pandemic into its third year. many have acknowledged that covid has been over for quite sometime yet the u.s. has wanted to continue spending as if it hasn't been, so behind closed doors, he ends the pandemic, and many are wandering, you know, politically speaking, how he's handled this. everything, all the spending, dragging covid out. how could this not possibly hurt him if he plans on running again which he says he does in 2024.

>> well, jackie, it's great to be with you. let's hope that this ancestry .com tour he's on in ireland is a sign that maybe he's hanging it up and is not going to run for re-election. i don't know how much more we can take of somebody who doesn't focus on the real problems at home, fighting inflation, securing our border, protecting the homeland. there's so many things he should be working on and he shouldn't be off on an ancestry tour in ireland. we've got problems here and we need his leadership. in addition to countering what the chinese communist party has been up to all week. jackie: yeah, and when you talk about the priorities, i mean, we've got a lot of issues here at home, but also with some of the global players on this larger scale, and byron, he seems to just kind of ignore that all of this is happening while he's in ireland, and he's sort of celebrating the impact that its had on his life and his development personally as well. back to covid-19 though, declaring that this national

emergency is over has clear implications for title 42 as well. karine jean-pierre was asked about this. i just want you to listen to this sound bite and react. >> does it impact the may 11 deadline for title 42 or anything like that? >> no, it doesn't. it doesn't at all. as you know, the department of homeland security announced in january how they were going to move forward on title 42 so that hasn't changed at all. jackie: again she's putting it on homeland security when we've got a huge problem at our border as it is. your thoughts on where we go from here. >> well, covid, measure 42 has been the way the biden administration has turned away some of the illegal migrants that it has actually turned away , so it's going to have to do something to replace that, but you know, president biden has been kind of hesitant, i think, to want to move past the covid national emergency because if you look at his

approval ratings, covid has been the best thing amongst all of the issues in the president's job approval ratings. if you look at his ratings on the economy or the border or crime or even national security, they're all terrible. he's far under water but for a while there, the public did approve of the way he was handl ing covid, but they're past that, and the president very very quietly signed this bill, pushed on him by republicans, ending the national emergency. the public health emergency, a separate thing, is going to end pretty soon, and the administration will be unable to cite covid as the reason for continuing the spending measures that it wants to continue anyway. jackie: congressman, you recently went to taiwan. can you give us a sense of what your experience was overseas because it's something you're focused on while the president is not. >> well, last week i joined chairman mike mccaul, the house

foreign relations committee, in taipai. we spent two hours with the president of taiwan after her visit with speaker mccarthy in california. we also spent two hours with legislators on the island and i can tell you, they're committed to defending taiwan and preserving the status quo, where they preserve their democracy, preserve their market capitalist economy on the island and the opportunities for their citizens. they simply do not want coercion from china or military action for china, but they believe in peace through strength. the leader, president zi quoted ronald regan famous mantra of peace through strength doing that not only militarily but also through economic deterrence and one of the strongest econom ies in the region and we should help that in the u.s. and our partners in the pacific should help that by encouraging economic deterrence to china and

military deterrence. jackie: so, byron, in the interest of time i'm not going to play the sound bite from karine jean-pierre where she talks about the president answering so many questions. jacqui heinrich referenced one there as well. the problem is that we don't get a lot of answers from this president. is it acceptable to you the way he handles this , the fact that he won't sit down with reporters and answer questions regarding issues that americans are really , you know, pressing issues for the country. >> the president regardless of what the white house says, the president has done very very little of the sort of one on one press interviews that other presidents have done in the past he's done less of this general availabilities. you remember president trump who often took a beating in the press, actually made himself available all the time to reporters and joe biden has done a lot less of that, which has led to some suspicions of course that the president is 80 years old and slowing down is really not up to that kind of challeng

ing one on one situation with a challenging reporter, so we'll see. jackie: yeah, we shall see , and you know, he did say to nbc that he's planning to run again even though he hasn't formally announced but he could barely put the coherent thought together in that interview as well. so, congressman french hill, byron york, great to see you both, thank you. >> thank you, jackie. jackie: all right, well the white house is set to propose stricter emission standards to drive its green agenda toward an electric vehicle market, but are drivers here on board? let's welcome to the show former economic advise or to president trump steve moore. great to see you as always. let's talk about this story because, you know, you really think about the implications of this and steve, you know as well as i do, any time you regulate more, anytime you regulate gas-powered cars the prices go up. the prices on electric vehicles are already high. when i look at this i don't think it's going to push people to buy electric. i think it's going to push a

certain segment of the population to not be able to drive at all, but your thoughts? >> [laughter] i think your last point is your most important point, jackie. i've been saying for the last two years that the biden administrations strategy is to basically prohibit gas-powered cars, and so what this , you know if you look at the new tail pipe emission standards that the epa is coming out with, and let me just make sure that your viewers understand something. we've reduced emissions from tail pipes from cars by about 80 % over the last 30 or 40 years, so we don't have a problem with tail pipe emissions in the united states. what this is really about is making these standards so stringent that the car companies will not be able to meet them, and what does that mean? that means they won't be able to produce and manufacture gas cars , and that means finally, that everybody is going to have to go to mass transit or if

they have the money buy an electric vehicle. it's very dangerous. jackie: it certainly is but this is an administration that from day one basically declared a war on fossil fuels in this country. we were energy independent and now we are at the mercy of other foreign countries right now. we're dealing with opec + and their cuts and gas prices are going up once again. steve, we had a town hall on may show "the big money show" this afternoon, kevin o'leary was on this after anyone and he talked about how he wanted to invest in refineries which is something we have not done in this country in a long time. our refineries need up keep and we need to add refineries if we want to be more competitive on a global scale. listen to this. >> i want to do something big, and the task that i've decided i'm going to take on is i'm going to build a refinery in america. >> it's going to cost about $14 billion. i'm going to syndicate that debt and equity and find a state that wants to work with me. i'm going to get a permit and we're going to do the right thing for america. we have to have more refineries. jackie: now, his intentions are

great, but getting that permit here may be difficult and later he went on to tell us, steve, how the saudis have of dollars a because they will get the permitting done in order to do it, so you see on a global stage that we are just losing our competitive edge. >> couldn't say it better, jackie, and you know i think all of your viewers understand that the first act by biden was to cancel pipelines so we need three urgent pieces of infrastructure to be energy independent again. we need pipelines, we need refineries, and we need lng terminals so we can export a lot of our natural gas. biden has put a kabosh on all of those , jackie and you know what's so interesting about this wasn't it just last week he was talking about invest in america? how about investing in our energy production so we can be energy independent and even an exporter? jackie: it's absolutely unbelievable when you think about it, steve, and you're right. we could have all of the resources here in the world, but if we can't move them around

, efficiently, which pipelines do, then, you know, you're stuck and of course we need that refining capacity as well. it's just so frustrating to have seen president trump bring us to that place, where it was all happening, and then to have it ripped away so quickly. final point. >> well, i'll just have one other final point. those are blue collar jobs and people in the oil industry, the blue collar workers, the truckers, the manufacturing people, the drillers, they make $100,000 or more. those a great jobs, jackie. jackie: he promised this country those people that lost their jobs would get green energy jobs and they haven't gotten yet and whose profiting off this? china. china is profiting off this green energy agenda. steve moore, great to see you thank you. >> thank you, jackie. jackie: well the search for answers is getting a little bleak following the recent leak of classified intel documents. pentagon officials suggest this could be bigger than snow den. plus florida passing landmark

jackie: welcome back. as tensions grow between china and taiwan, the u.s. is strengthening support for taiwan fox news chad pergram is live on

capitol hill with more for us, good evening, chad. reporter: jackie, the main issue is that taiwan has a $19 billion backlog in weapons it bought from the u.s.. house speaker kevin mccarthy has said no blank check for ukraine, but mccarthy hasn't been as clear about taiwan. >> nothing in american government has a blank check, but taiwan has actually spent their own money to buy weapons in america. i think what we need to do is to be able to speed that up in the process to make sure taiwan has the weapons they need to defend themselves which they purchased and spent their own money on. reporter: there's concern a chinese military blockade of taiwan could also include japan. the blockade could harm the global economy. china experts worry that beijing 's allies like north korea could get involved. >> we could see the north invade south korea or it could

cause provocations that would create a diversion that would require us to divert our assets to the korean peninsula so there is a real risk we find ourselves in a global war very fast. reporter: an invasion could compel the u.s. to defend its allies in asia. senator lindsey graham favors sending u.s. troops. taiwan appreciates the support. >> if the united states decides to intervene in war in between taiwan and china, it'll be high, but we need to make it very clear. defending taiwan is our own responsibilities, and we have the determination to defend ourselves. reporter: it's unclear if congress has the votes to pass an authorization for the use of force abroad. it's also unclear where the public stands. that's why the president could skirt congress and send traps using his own constitutional war powers. jackie? jackie: chad pergram thank you so much. let's welcome to the show

florida state senator jake collins. it's great to see you, senator collins. today, your legislation in florida passed banning communist china from owning land and conducting business in the state of florida. this actually just passed moment s ago. it is groundbreaking legislation because we are experiencing such tension with china after the spy balloon and so much more, china 's aggression over the course of the last two and a half years a so. under this administration, people are very concerned about china's presence here in the united states. so this legislation in your state putting some parameters on that, tell us about it. >> yeah, first and foremost thank you for having me on here. it's an absolute honor and privilege and this is groundbreaking legislation. senate bill 264 just passed 38-0 in the senate, and we're waiting for it to move through the house and then off to the desk of america's governor. this bill is very straightforward. it does a few things.

it focuses on critical infrastructure, making sure that countries of concern can't purchase land around those critical pieces of infrastructure, think airports, seaports, you know, gas, power, those critical nodes of infrastructure. it also makes sure that the ccp , the prc can't buy real property here in the free state of florida. we got to make sure we maintain our stability, our strategic interest moving forward. it also makes sure the countries of concern cannot buy ag land. our ag land is of utmost important. we can't cripple our farmers by letting other nations purchase that form land and it does a couple other things as well and making sure data being housed outside of our country is only maintaininged in canada, the u.s. and our territories for those relevant, sensitive records, and then lastly, i just want to say it's an absolute privilege after 23 years as a

green beret serving our country to be able to sure up our national defense by making sure that florida remains free and we protect our critical infrastructure in this great state. jackie: i can imagine what a moment this must be for you. let me ask you this , because florida has been an outlier under the leadership of ron desantis doing quite well in this pandemic era that has stretched on and on as we discussed in the previous segment. florida bucked all of the trends and this is a piece of legislation that is also bucking trends. do you think that other states will start to adopt rules like these because this is not only important to florida for national security. it's important for the entire country. >> yeah, you know, i think you're spot on there. this is groundbreaking and this is what red looks like. i like to joke with some of my friends our number one export in florida is freedom. i believe we're leading the way on this and setting the standard and i do expect others will follow suit. we have to take china at their word, you know, 2017 it was a new era, 2019 we're talking about the long road, we talk

about the spy balloons flying over our country. i believe on the way down here i saw brian mask push out there's proof that china was actually collecting military intelligence in that process. that's what they're doing. telegraphing the thought process we have to sure up our security and protect our citizens here in the state of florida and across this great country. jackie: yeah, and of course, the threat that china is posing, regarding taiwan. they've pretty much, you know, sort of putting it out there, president xi, yet, for some reason, this administration isn't putting china in its place president biden hasn't done it since he's been in office. if i may just ask you, why do you think that he's not taking a tougher stance? some may say the president himself maybe compromised because of his son's business dealings overseas in china, and ukraine. your thoughts? >> well my thoughts are leadership comes at a cost and that cost is self-interest. president biden has failed the

leadership from the day he was sworn in. he continues to do that here. let's talk about the failed withdrawal from afghanistan. let's talk about the economy he's destroying. let's talk about his failed negotiations with china. china is stepping forward their rhetoric pushing forward on the world stage. we are vying for the free world and we are the leaders of the free world and it's about time elections have consequences in 2024 we immediate to elect a leader willing to stand up to china and push them aside to make sure the united states is a dominant power across the world because we do stand for freedom. jackie: florida state senator jay collins great to have you on the "evening edit." thank you, sir. >> thank you so much i appreciate it. jackie: well terrifying new video showing the reality of the crime crisis that is plagu ing democrat-run cities. businesses, and residents say enough is enough, and the search for answers is getting bleaker following the recent leak of classified intel documents. pentagon officials suggesting this could be "bigger than snow den et al of this on thee,

jackie: the search is on for whoever leaked classified pentagon documents online. the scope of this leak described as bigger than edward snowden, but questions are surfacing whether the leak came from the inside or outside of the pentagon. fox news jennifer griff in is live at the pentagon with the latest on who might be behind all of this. good evening to you, jennifer. reporter: good evening, jackie. so far, 53 documents have been posted online. fox news has agreed along with other news organizations not to publish the leaked highly- classified documents which were discovered last week and first reported on by the new york times. many of the documents came from february 28 and march 1. the dod briefings include details of the war in ukraine, battlefield assessments, et cetera, from pentagon briefing slides. those briefings are typically delivered electronically on secure ipads, and are not

usually printed out. if they are printed, then investigators can track where they are printed from. they have to be printed on secure printers and are often numbered. those sets of dod daily briefings are distributed to between 1,000 and 5,000 people with appropriate clearances. separately, among the classified documents already published online, there's also highly classified intelligence that was not part of any of the dod briefing books. they appear to be produced by other u.s. intelligence agencies like the cia and nsa. this intelligence is not easily accessed by those in the pentagon and their inclusion suggests that the leak may have come from outside the pentagon. some of the most damaging leaks have to do with south korea, the united arab emirate, irs, and egypt. for instance, one of the more damaging documents concerns egypt, which has received $50 billion in u.s. military aid

since 1978. reporting suggests the egyptian president planned to secretly ship 40,000 rockets to russia for use in ukraine at the same time he was holding friendly phone calls with president zelenskyy. >> we've seen no indication that egypt is providing "lethal weapon" are capabilities. reporter: the documents show realtime intelligence about the war in ukraine that may affect the upcoming spring offensive, for instance, that the pentagon believes the ukrainians will run out of air defense missiles by mid-may, if not resupplied. the leak also creates tremendous distrust among the allies, something that helps both russia and china. senate majority leader chuck schumer has requested a classified briefing for all senators on the leaked documents when congress returns next week. jackie? jackie: jennifer griffin, thank you so much. let's welcome to the show former acting u.s. attorney general matthew whitaker. great to see you as always, sir. this leak appears to have caught

the pentagon off guard, i would say. that's putting it mildly. how damaging is it to our national security here at home? >> yeah, well it's good to be with you tonight, jackie. i think that it's going to be very damaging and especially it's going to damage our relationships with other countries who we take their intelligence and turn them into products, but you know, we faced a lot of leaks during the trump administration while i was there and these investigations are very difficult to conduct, but they're very important and so i would suggest that the doj spends as much time and resources trying to get to the bottom of who of those 5,000 or so people that had access to these documents leaked these documents, because ultimately we need to make sure that these documents and the information contained in them is protected, because these are our highest secrets and if we aren't prosecuting leak ores then it just encourages the next leaker

to think they might getaway with it as well. jackie: that's the issue. it's really about the leak less than what actually happened or transpired here. now john kirby has said that it's not, the journalists have no business, his words, not mine , reporting about this. jennifer griffin acknowledged there that all of the networks are not publishing the documents they are reporting on this story to get to the bottom of what actually happened. let's take a listen to mr. kirby , please. >> this is information that has no business in the public domain it has no business if you don't mind me saying on the pages of the front pages of newspapers, or on television. it is not intended for public consumption, and it should not be out there. jackie: it sounds to me like basically, what he's saying is it shouldn't be out there because it makes me look bad. >> well, there's always that in the intelligence community that the classified things that are embarrassing and not necessarily strategic but that being said,

obviously, reporters have a legitimate job to do and they need to report the news, and if they come across information or stories that the need to be reported they do that and at the same time i think it's on the government to protect the secrets that need to be protected and to make sure they don't fall and do the public's hands because once they are in the public domain like these secrets that were posted for over a month before they were ever discovered, i think that points to a bigger and broader challenge that we're not protecting our secrets. the media will do its job no matter what. jackie: really quickly, whale i have you, manhattan da alvin bragg is now suing house judiciary chairman jim jordan and jim jordan was trying to check bragg on his indictment of trump. the only check on his authority that was out there, your comments on where we stand in this right now. >> yeah, there's legitimate congressional interest. while they aren't very broad, there needs to be an inquiry as to whether federal resources,

federal personnel, what laws should be revised to make sure that they can't be abused, for example, if this case is based on federal election laws and those need to be revised so there are federal interests that jim jordan can represent but they're not unfettered and obviously, they can't poke into what's under the hood of this investigation. jackie: matthew whitaker, thank you so much. great to see you tonight, thank you. >> thanks jackie. good to see you. jackie: while fox uncovering that hunter biden's partners visited the white house over 80 times when joe biden was vice president. also, terrifying new video showing the reality of the crime crisis in this country, especially plaguing democrat-run cities. this is causing businesses and residents to leave in droves. we are discussing it on the "evening edit." season that makes you feel lighter than air? ♪

the city, and its becoming more and more disturbing to live here >> makes me want to move to another city. i mean, there's no way to live in fear all of the time. jackie: san francisco residents reacting to recent attacks and murders in that city. some moving out of the city. let's welcome to the show fraternal order of police national vp joe gamaldi. joe always great to see you. let's just dig into this right here, because the former san francisco fire commissioner was beaten by a homeless man with a metal pipe and rye have to warn you all this video is very very graphic, and disturbing to watch we are going to play it. the attack took place in broad daylight outside his mother's home in the scenic marina district, leaving a former fire commissioner with serious head injuries. it took place just one-day after we saw that stabbing of the tech executive bob lee as well. joe, i want to get your reaction to this , because it is horrifying to watch this video.

>> yeah, it's absolutely terrible. san francisco has been in decline for years and frankly, the cities a hellhole now. i mean, murders are up there 36% since 2019. property crimes are through the roof to the point people don't even call anymore, because they know nothing is going to be done and they actually have an app to track where people are deficating in the street in san francisco, and these high profile cases of this commissioner being brutally beaten in the street, and bob lee being murdered are just a stark reminder to everyone just how bad it has gotten in san francisco, but there's countless other victims that we're not even aware of because they don't make the news, but the fact of the matter is things aren't going to get better there. they are down over 335 police officers but don't worry, folks, you know, counsel has a plan to bring in officers over the next five years. well here is an idea. maybe if you hadn't treated your cops like crap over the last few years, you wouldn't be in the predicament you find yourself in. jackie: it sounds a lot like new york city too, because the

plan to put more cameras in subway stations over the course of the next five years, governor hochul's idea. that's not really helping the current situation. the situation right now when it comes to bob lee, that tech executive i think about the fact he was out roughly around 2:00 a.m. when all of this happened. he went over to somebody, begged them for help. we're not sure why they refused to help but some people are afraid to get involved because they fear for their own safety as well in situations like this. it's just become untenable in some of these cities to the point that its driven thousands of people to move elsewhere. >> yeah, you're absolutely right, because when you embrace these revolving door criminal justice policies like these far left democrats have, you absolutely destroy your city. businesses move away. residents move away. it destroys your tax base. take san francisco. they are at an $800 million budget shortfall because everyone is leaving in droves and people need to understand that this is not sustainable.

we are seeing this across all of our urban communities. there is a flight out of there and we have to turn this around. otherwise we are going to lose our cities for a generation. jackie: it's not just about crime, joe. also about the homeless and you mentioned the app where people can track what's going on in san francisco with regarding the homeless situation and defecation yesterday. i was walking home from this building. i saw a man, he appeared to be overdosed on some sort of drugs. he was lying on the street in a pile, um, in his own urine. it's really so disturbing as i'm recounting this to you, and so sad to watch. there were people around him. they had called for help but having said that, i remember new york city a decade ago and it just, it wasn't like this. it's a shell of itself now, post -pandemic. >> yeah, and the frustrating part is, we know how to fix this we can embrace broken windows theory. we can prosecute violent crime, but yet, while we're trying to do some of these things to clean-up these cities we have a

mess of a da in alvin bragg whose a complete joke and while he goes against his crusade against donald trump, he has downgraded felonies by the tune of 51% and he has a prosecution rate of only 50%. he's a complete mess and now that city is suffering. jackie: he puts the criminals right back on the street. joe gamaldi, thank you so much. good to see you. >> thank you. jackie: "evening edit's" "hot take" is coming up plus fox uncovering hunter biden's business partners visited the white house over 80 times, when joe biden was vice president, but first, let's check in with our friends dagen and sean to see what they've got coming up in the next hour. >> sean: we have congressman jim jordan responding to da bragg whose suing him, the investigation jordan sekulow doing into the prosecution of donald trump in new york city. dagen: and also, his investigation into the fbi targeting catholics.

the house judiciary committee subpoenaing christopher wray, the chief of the fbi, to get to the bottom of how widespread that targeting was or maybe even is. >> sean: we have charlie hurt and charlie kirk. charlie squared coming up as well as rick perry with a great show coming up in 13.5 minutes. dagen: we can talk baseball so there's that too. >> sean: there you go.

jackie: welcome back. joining us now new york post columnist john levine. great to see you as always. four business partners, john, a vice president and two assistants at hunter biden's now -defunct firm visited the white house more than 80 times, while his father, joe biden, was vice president of the united states. fox digital found that out. this comes after joe biden has publicly insisted on numerous occasions that he had no knowledge of hunter's business dealings. your thoughts? >> jackie it's really just in credible. just when you think we've looked under this rock and nothing is left up pops another business partner very close to hunter biden in the white house during the obama-biden administration, 17 times. jackie: right. >> this is a former vice president of his investment firm rosemont senica, joan mayer, and she was meeting with top aids to vice president biden, didn't meet with biden directly as far as we know but now we have a total number of 80 confirmed

business partners going into the white house during those years, and this is like a clown car. what's going on here? and all the while, they deny anything was even happening at all. jackie: these are white house logs verifying this. so this is not information that's disputable. >> nope. not disputable. jackie: time and time again, i have no idea. i have no idea and no involvement in hunter's business dealings. how could that be? >> we can't have a real conversation about this , because the white house is still denying the facts in front of their faces. you can confront them with the evidence. it's not just the white house visitor logs. we've got photos of joe biden meeting business partners on the golf course, in restaurants, here and there socially. again they were not seeing because he's a great conversationalist. they had business and reasons to want b to in front of him and hunter biden was bringing them in front of him so what was going on here. jackie: this is part of the irony surfing rondiaking the trump indictment and his arraignment last week people were saying when it comes to one side of the aisle, there are

people going after you and if you're on the other side of the aisle it's joe biden's side of the aisle, you're pretty much left alone. >> there's a million expenses. hasn't hunter biden been under federal investigation for years and that probe was supposedly nearing conclusion. it was cnn was reporting before the mid-terms that was going to find something there and still nothing. jackie: right. still nothing. i mean, it's amazing to me that the laptop is finally even been acknowledged at all. >> right. jackie: all right, thank you, john levine, you'll be back so stick around after the break. "evening edit's" "hot take" is coming up, next. stay right there.

♪ ♪ jackie: back with me for tonight's hot take, jon levine. it's been a big week for house judiciary chairman jim jordan, the committee issued a subpoena to fbi director christopher wray seeking information on the field office's effort toss to the investigate, quote, extremists in catholic parishes. my thoughts are religion is sort of the glue that keeps communities together, and the federal government wants to break that apart so it can have more control. >> right. this is really what the house weaponization committee is about which jim jordan is chairing, how the federal government is being turned against ordinary americans by woke sort of pronoun-wielding employees. and i can tell you there's not a lot of confidence in chris wray among republicans anymore. i'm very -- i can say quite

confidently if republicans do win the white house in 2024, he'll probably be fired. jackie: yeah, that makes sense. and also alvin bragg going after jim jordan now, he wants to look into the indictment, the process, some of the things -- not anything that would, you know, jeopardize the investigation, but what exactly happened here, and the d.a. doesn't like it. >> look, it's clear that alvin bragg clearly does the not want federal oversight over his probe of donald trump and you have to ask yourself, why is that? i can tell you from my sources on the house oversight and judiciary committees, it's not going to stop. there's still going to be a monohearing in new york, and that's still scheduled -- monday hearing, and it'll go over or the what they call the victims of alvin bragg's woke prosecution style. jackie: right. and i think that's important in a similar where you've got a district attorney that was elected and has choseen to take felonies and turn them into misdemeanors more than half of the time, but in this case doing the opposite actually, you've got to ask yourself why he's doing that.

you know, you sit there and say what is the power to the check him? at least jim jordan's committee is trying to look into it somewhat. >> as you say, it's totally incongruent. it would be one thing if he was a lock 'em up, always throw the -- jackie: right. then i get it. >> he's known for never prosecuting anybody, and now we see on very technical, this is like the white collar equivalent of a parking ticket the, suddenly it's the 35 felony, over 100 years in prison, it's a mockery. jackie: and president trump's going to be on tucker carlson tonight, the first interview since the arraignment last week which people watched blow by blow on television. your thoughts on what he think he's going to come out saying. some have said this has only made him stronger. >> i think he'll probably vigorously deny all of the charges, and i think he'll probably level attacks against alvin bragg which he has done in the past of. he does have to be careful because he is under indictment, and what he says can now impact the trial that they'll have to have. jackie: yeah.

well, i live here, and i'm thinking about how this all went down, how the city was shut down for that. they want him to appear in december as well. i think it cost $200 million to shut the entire city down, make sure it was secured properly so that the former president could go to the courthouse. i mean, your thoughts. it feels like, you know, a three ring sir i cuts -- circus, to me. >> it doesn't matter the cost, jackie, we can just raise taxes. of. [laughter] jackie: on who? there's no one left here. all right. that doesn't sound fun for me, i do live here. jon levine, great to see you, as always. be sure to tune in tomorrow, we've got interviews with former senior counsel to president trump kellyanne conway and former white house council of economic advisers, acting chairman thomas philipson. i'm jackie deangelis nor elizabeth macdonald, thanks so much for watching, and now it's time for "the bottom line. hi, dagen, hi, sean. sean: hey, jackie. thank you, appreciate it. ♪
