what a story we'll stay on it too larry great show. thank you so much. let's get right at it we've got news and headlines coming into the studio now out of washington d.c. let's get right to edward lawrence he's live at the white house with more. edward? reporter: yeah, susan rice, it was abruptly announced susan rice be leaving here at the white house. she was a big domestic advisor and a huge vice in the president 's ear also a big reason why the president has not shifted policy on the economy or energy policies. now, on energy, the price of electricity has gone up 24% since president biden took office, and now the epa wants to increase control on emissions for existing power plants, a first, the president making no changes in his policy as gas prices again continue to rise. the latest fox news polling shows climate change ranks 12th on the list of things people worry about. now we've shortened the list here but you see inflation on the top there, so today national security advisor sullivan says

the president can handle inflation as well as other international issues. >> the united states has significant obligations around the world, obligations that relate directly to our national security and to the well being of working people here in this country. we will discharge those obligations. we will do that while at the same time putting in place the most significant set of investments in more than a generation in working people, middle class people in the united states. reporter: so the administration forcefully spinning the president's policies as tomorrow, we expect a video announcement that president biden will run for re-election. republican greg murphy calls it elder abuse. >> we're taking a person they are using essentially as a puppet. joe biden was never ever this far left in any of his previous policies, but he's essentially become a puppet, and being told essentially what to do. he has to read off his cards, et cetera. i don't really think he believes as much as what he's putting

into but his handlers, everybody is around him telling him exactly what to say. reporter: i knew nbc news poll shows that 70% of americans do not want the president to run for re-election. liz: edward lawrence great stuff thank you so much. look whose back with us former arkansas governor mike huckabee. governor, good to see you again. the president is going to run again but a new nbc poll more than half 51% of democrats say they don't want him to run. seven out of 10 don't want what he's selling and, you know, mike , the thing is from quinnipiac, gallop, through monmouth, he's bombing in the polls in the economy. >> it's really amazing that he's going forward with this. 79% of independents don't want him to run but the big number is the one you just mentioned that over half of his own party, they don't want him to run. i mean, my gosh. i probably could get numbers that good for me to make another run at it. i'm not going to, because i

think i'd pretty well heard the message 100% of the voters don't want me to do it again. it doesn't take that percentage to get me to back out, and it shouldn't take that kind of percentage to tell joe biden it ain't going to happen this time. it just isn't, but he seems to be head-strong and going ahead with it. he has every right to run, but look at the record that he has as well as the poll numbers. all of that adds up to a disaster and i think the democrats are beginning to realize it. liz: all-in inflation above 13% since he took office. really hitting the middle class and the poor very hard. the standard of living is going down under this president. you know, reuters reporting how "the pandemic" reuters is even saying the pandemic helped biden in 2020, mike, but that biden campaigned from his basement in delaware in 2020 but biden doesn't have the pandemic any more, and the dnc just announced it has no plans for democrat primary debate so

no to rfk jr. debating. it should be pointed out trump did not have a 2020 primary debate but the problem is with this president it's not so state-of-the-art anymore. when he's back on his heels without a teleprompter it's a disaster. >> a total disaster. joe biden has become his own pandemic. not only his verbal gafs, but his policies and disasters they've created and cost of energy, groceries, the fact that we are now really not feared by nations across the globe. you've got china doing everything they can to basically tell us that, you know, they are going to give us a big bronx cheer. they don't have any concern about what we do, what we think we're going to do, and one of the concerns that i think americans ought to have. did joe biden win because the press and the deep state conspired to keep a real story from getting out just before the 2020 election? we know that it happened, and now, we know more than ever that the highest-ranking people in

joe biden's administration, people like tony blinken and jake sullivan whose just on a few moments ago, you look at those guys and you realize they were the architects of the lie, the big lie, and the ultimate cover-up of all of this stuff that really had an impact on the 2020 election. liz: so no informed voter opinion when they went into the polls. they didn't have the information to go into the polls. let's watch analysts talking about all of this watch this. >> my own sense is that most americans don't want to vote for an 81-year-old man for president. they would like to go to the next generation. >> the "wall street journal" editorial board had a very strong statement about it saying the public understands what mr. biden apparently won't admit that electing an obvious decline for another four years could be a historic mistake. it's impossible to know mr. biden's real physical and mental state, because the white house goes to great lengths to hide it, but his decline is clear to anyone who isn't

willfully blind. >> as biden prepares to formal ly announce his campaign for a second term early this week just one in four americans believe he should run for re-election. 70% say he shouldn't run. overall, the president's job rating is not in a good place when you're seeking re-election sitting at just 41% driven by the 58% of americans who disapprove how he is handling the economy right now. liz: you know, your reaction. by the way, 70% of gop voters want trump to run. so that's the nbc poll there. >> yeah, and i'm one of those 70%. i think as we look at trump's record, there are a lot of things that he got done and i'd like to see that kind of record continue. compare that to joe biden. my gosh, we've had an open border that's leaking like a siv we've seen our prices go up and our way of living go down. this is a real contest, but i just don't think that democrats deep down, even think they've got a shot at joe biden's the

best one they've got and the fact that the democrats are trying to hide him and not let him debate. they don't want him out there, because they know he can't handle that. there may not be an easter bunny to come rescue him from the microphone-like they have done in the past. liz: remember politico then- president obama said you know who doesn't have it anymore is joe biden and obama was for hillary in 2016. you know, now we've got more democrat senators and lawmakers including senators amy klobuchar , joe manchin, how democrats saying you know what, president biden, step it up and negotiate with speaker mccarthy on the debt ceiling crisis. even democrats are saying he's got to negotiate. >> and why not? i mean, there's nothing to lose. if he really believes that the debt ceiling is important. what kevin mccarthy and the republicans are asking for is not unreasonable. it's just a very modest control on spending, and it's exactly what i think a lot of people

want, because they say i can't spend more money in my household why should the government get to spend? that's exactly what republicans are saying. joe biden needs to come to the table and if he really believes this is important, then at least pretend that he cares about america more than he cares about being so bull-headed. liz: former governor mike huckabee, always a pleasure for having you on, sir. joining me now former federal prosecutor hans petkoski, and former federal prosecutor andrew chekowski. hans, what's your reaction to this. hunter biden's lawyer reportedly sent a letter demanding the treasury inspector general proformer trump aide garrett zig ler for publicizing the biden family suspicious activity reports about their deal making on the internet and also demanding the lawyers demanding congress through an ethics probe of congresswoman marjorie taylor greene over her comments about hunter biden and

the president. this is ahead of the doj supposedly sitting down with hunter biden over his tax evasion case that's been out there for five years. what's your take on the hunter biden lawyers doing this? >> i think this is all a public relations game. he's trying to distract attention from the potentially very serious violations of law committed by his client and the fact that we now have a senior irs supervisory agent, a whistleblower saying that there's been politics involved in preventing a real investigation and interfering with the investigation of hunter biden. that is something that has to be investigated and looked at and i think he's just trying to distract attention. liz: yeah, to what hans just said, andrew, we're hearing sources saying this is an obstruction of justice issue at the justice department. the irs whistleblower, he's a top irs agent, has memos, e-mails, contemporaneous notes

of meetings with doj prosecutors accused of stonewalling the hunter biden tax evasion case to basically help president biden. >> well, we have so many different things to unravel when we're talking about hunter biden we first have to talk about obviously the potential charges that hunter biden is going to be facing, but we also have to talk about the number of other potential investigations that need to go on about leaked information as was talked about earlier, by mike huckabee even. the idea that we're looking at the wide range of failures to prosecute effectively is something that i think a special counsel is needed for , because the attorney general there in delaware, mr. weiss, is not going to be able to investigate all these different things, and issue referrals to them so we are lacking at this point. liz: what andrew just said, irs whistleblower in his lawyers letter says a.g. garland, hans, is denying prosecutor david weis

s on the hunter biden case at the justice department denying the request for a special counsel on the hunter biden case. at least two doj prosecutors politically interfering to protect the president. yet biden's treasury department accused of stonewalling house oversight on a suspicious activity reports and then you have former top cia official saying yeah, anthony blinken out of the biden campaign in 2020 called me and we got the ball rolling on the letter, 51 intelligence officials claiming without any proof hunter biden's laptop was russian disinformation. >> well, as andrew said. it's hard to keep track of all of the potential issues here, potential violations of the law, unethical conduct. every single one of those , look former intelligence officials should lose their security clearance. they did no due diligence whatsoever. they clearly were engaging in

partisan political activity and using their reputations as intelligence officials for that purpose. no one whose willing to abuse that kind of a position should have access to classified material. liz: so hans, excuse me, andrew. what hans just said. it also goes to the fbi and other agencies accused of stepping into social media, telling twitter to basically it's going to be a disinformation dump about hunter biden, so twitter then censors, you know, before the 2020 election. the fbi had the hunter biden laptop for nearly a year before the mocker post story dropped and then so now you have critics saying two straight elections. democrat candidate and their campaigns generate a false claims about russia. it was 2016 and now 2020, andrew >> and we don't have a good investigator point of contact so to speak whose looking into this again i was saying that the u.s.

attorney in delaware is handling the tax evasion and potentially gun-related charges but it's very unclear whether he has the scope of an investigation to cover the wide range of people who engaged in what i think is very potentially criminal behavior in issuing essentially these warnings to twitter and other social media outlets to not run these stories and that it was disinformation, so when we have this long list of potential violations, and that's to say nothing of hunter biden's potential violation of the failure to register as a foreign agent. we have such a wide range. we have mr. weiss who seems to have a very limited scope again a special counsel be something that be very appropriate in this case. liz: and also, it's new york times washington post cnn, nbc, cbs, authenticating the hunter biden laptop, hans. but then, you know, hunter biden himself, his lawyers effectively authenticated that the laptop is real, so what do you make of biden in 2020 adimately saying

it's russian disinformation? he had to know it was real. how can he go before voters and say it was russian disinformation and accuse a foreign nation of meddling in an election like that about his son's laptop. this is shocking stuff. >> well, yeah, but it says that he was willing to say anything, no matter how untrue and how misleading in order to win that election, and the media, the mainstream media was complacent in helping him do that. liz: hans and andrew, thanks for joining us we'll have you back on again soon. these stories for you tonight. the "evening edit" is rocking and rolling here. we've got the u.s. border crisis , now at center stage. the washington post reports mounting concerns among u.s. intelligence that terrorists like isis again using afghanistan as a staging ground for attacks on including the u.s. and too little too late outgoing chicago mayor lori lightfoot slammed for now claiming democrats must address

the spiraling crime crisis. why didn't she say that before? she got recalled over that, plus a biden white house plans a new crackdown. we're staying on this what's going on with power plants and what they want to do. power plants fuel the electric and trying to curve tail that with more climate change mandates where he is, to trigger rolling blackouts from rising utility bills. this is coming up, two top an higher bush executives now record edly on leave amid the uproar over bud light's transgender ad, and a stunning drop in bud light sales, congressman byron donalds, mike johnson, former trump treasury secretary monica crowley, retired chicago police lt. john garito, all coming up tonight on the "evening edit." the chase ink business premier card is made for people like

liz: okay, d.c.'s talking about this. 2024 is about turning out the vote so in terms of the issues what are the canon balls of the swimming pool that are going to turn out the republican voter? we have a recent "wall street journal" poll that says it's fighting the left's woke agenda. fox news mark meredith has got the story live in d.c. good to see you. reporter: liz it's great to be with you. what qualifies as woke remeans up for debate but polling shows a majority of gop primary voters

want to hear about candidates plans to combat the issue. the "wall street journal" recently asked 600 likely republican primary voters which is most important. protecting medicare and social security from cuts or fighting woke ideology in schools and businesses. by a blowout margin some 28 points, more voters wanted to hear about how wokeness can be stopped. the issue of course has come up in past elections. we all remember last years mid-terms but it appears this is only an issue we're going to hear a lot more about. take a listen to how much woke ness came up just within the last few days. >> the woke represents a war on truth and because it's a war on truth, we must represent, we must engage in a war on woke. >> make no mistake about it. the battle against radical, gender ideology is a battle for religious freedom and it's a battle we must fight. >> [applause] reporter: the woke debate already raging on capitol hill where republicans have vowed to end wokeness within the federal government but some democratic

lawmakers think wokeness should be celebrated not feared. >> we're having a hearing right now and it's about what the federal government is too woke. i mean, that's seriously what we're hearing and then there's no definition of what woke is. reporter: while the woke issue may help with fundraising, getting out the vote, media attention, there are limits to what it'll appeal for voters. the journal also found more people want to see the southern border secured over battling wokeness. liz? liz: mark meredith, great reporting as always. good to see you let's welcome back to the show former treasury secretary of public affairs monica crowley. monica we've got news coming in. let's just tell you and the view er what's going on. bud light now hit with a staggering 17% drop in sales, after the big boycott over the dylan mulvaney transgender a d, and the marketing vice president and her boss, daniel blake, monica, are reportedly taking a leave of absence. >> yeah, you know it's really

stunning to see an actual boycott that was organic and grassroots, liz, actually work, and have an impact on a company to the point where they change management and apparently are changing their strategy. you know, that report that you just put up with the reporter, liz, it's true. so many americans have just had enough. they have had enough of having this woke agenda being forced down their throats through corporations that live or die by esg and dei and cei, the corporate equality index. you know, this alphabet soup of wokeness that is then passed on through branding and commercials and advertising and things like the dylan mulvaney campaign to the consumer. the consumer has had enough of it, and anheuser-busch has really suffered a very dramatic commercial impact here where they've lost about $5 billion in value, and so of course, they made the personnel changes, but

the question is, whether or not they are going to change going forward and whether other companies that are geared toward middle america will also take a page out of anheuser-busch's playbook and stop force feeding the american people this kind of nonsense. liz: you know, when heinehsheid took over as vice president of marketing she claimed the brand was on the decline. she called bud light out of touch. watch. >> you know i'm a business woman. i had a really clear job to do when i took over bud light and it was this brand is in decline. its been in decline for a really long time, and if we do not attract young drinkers to come and drink this brand, there will be no future for bud light. bud light had been kind of a brand of fratty, kind of out-of- touch humor. liz: huh, well their customers are saying you know what? you're wrong because they just stopped buying bud light. she just drilled into the customer base and torched it

>> yeah, exactly. there are a couple of things here, liz. first of all, you have to know who your customer base is, right? and it's basically men drinking this brand of beer, so to force feed a transgender agenda down their throats was of course a huge mistake. the bigger point i think too in terms of corporate governance, liz, is that the inmates have been running the asylum for far too long. i mean, you saw that woman. i don't know what her qualifications are, but she's clearly like millennial, going into gen z, maybe that sort of age. this whole generation has been raised unsafe spaces and progressive politics and woke ness and all of these agenda s and they're now coming into positions of real authority and these corporations as well as politics and across-the-board, and they are forcing these agendas that are now backfiring, so i think that this boycott has been

tremendously successful. again, no single person in charge totally organic, and i think if other corporations are smart, they will learn from anheuser-busch's mistake. liz: you know, former nba coach phil jackson is getting criticized for saying this. he's won multiple championships. watch phil jackson here. >> and they have things on their back like justice, and a little funny thing like justice just went to the basket and equal opportunity just knocked him down, and somebody of another name for a guy whose jersey in the back of a jersey had some other slogan, so my grandkids thought that was pretty funny to play up those names, so i couldn't watch that. it was trying to cater to an audience and bring a certain audience into play, and they didn't know it was turning other people off, you know?

people want to see sports as non-political. liz: getting criticized but that's the point. people want to be entertained by sports. not everything has to be politicized. >> yeah, and that is a really unhealthy signal in our overall society, liz, where everything has been shot through with politics and corruption and bias and all of these agendas, whether it's sports or entertainment, every single place you look, it's not healthy for the republic so good for phil for standing up here, and making a really important point that i think a lot of people are starting to listen to liz: monica you'll be sticking with us for a hot take in the f block. good to see you later on in the show. it's being called too little too late. outgoing chicago mayor lori lightfoot, she's now slammed for saying way after the fact that democrats must now address the spiraling crime crisis. she was recalled largely because of that and we've got florida

congressman byron donalds, the biden white house planning a crackdown on power plants. experts warn this could trigger rolling blackouts and rising utility bills coming up on the "evening edit." >> it takes forever for american plants to get through but what they do is they fast-track this chinese company and if you look at how dependent we've become on chinese solar, chinese wind, instruments, we're just pouring money into the country that wants to tear our country apart. trelegy for copd. ♪ birds flyin' high, you know how i feel. ♪ ♪ breeze driftin' on... ♪ [coughing] ♪ ...by, you know how i feel. ♪ if you're tired of staring down your copd,...

i can't, you know, thank my parents enough for making sure that this connection is here. one of the things that my mother told me when she was in the hospital, she didn't tell me, actually, she couldn't speak at the time, but she wrote it down... "go see alicia." oh, my goodness. you know, and there was never a time that you were too busy. there was never a time you said i'll call you back, you know. i needed to be there to carry you through, just like, you know, some of my friends carried me through. liz: well, look whose back with us from house financial services , he's congressman byron donalds. congressman, good to see you. finally we haven't seen you in a while. it's good to have you back on. so what was your reaction when you heard biden's epa for the first time is going to crackdown on emissions from new and vesting power plants? we're already hearing warnings that of texas and california

about climate mandates trigger ing rolling blackouts. >> i think it's stupid, frankly this is dumb policy, worrying about emissions at a time when we're already struggling to keep enough electricity on the grid. it makes no sense at all. as opposed to harassing power plants we need to be finding ways to add more power plants to our bid, add more base load power, not harassing people who basically keep the lights on. i think this is dumb policy, being put forward by joe biden, surprise surprise, but also, by the radicals who frankly inhabit too much of his administration. liz: you know, congressman, let's please get your reaction to what's going on with the epa 's expected power plant crackdown. let's get your reaction to this. >> it's going to create a lot of instability in the grid arguably speaking and this is biden's response to the revoking of the clean power plant from the obama era and also the lack of implementation or rather the revoking of the american clean energy plant under the

trump administration and what do you have here when you're regulating emissions of this magnitude? it could create a lot of problems for states, for our grid stability, make us weaker energy-wise. liz: you know, this comes after court fights have knocked out prior rulemaking like that under the obama white house, and exxon-mobile is just doing its biggest refinery expansion in 10 years down in texas, talking 4 million more barrels, 4 million more gallons of fuel a day, so do you think the courts going to take on this new epa rule coming, that's coming? >> my hope is that they do, because our country, obviously, is the best in the world, but policy like this is only going to put us into second position behind the chinese. listen, the chinese right now are building coal power plants to the tune of two to three a day, because they understand that energy is required to fuel

an economy. here in the united states, joe biden wants to undo all of that. what exxon-mobile did, expanding their refinery, is critical but we need to be expanding more refineries and building more refineries that are new ones, because the demand for petroleum products by the american people and frankly, the world has only increased and people think when you say petroleum you're thinking gasoline. it's much more than that. it's glasses that people wear, contact lenses, i've got them in my eyes right now. when ladies go to the hair dresser want to get their hair done, all that stuff is a derivative of petroleum, so we've got to get serious about energy here in the united states , because the biden administration will leave more americans paying more for energy , which means less money in their pocketbook for other things they want to do in their lives. it's the wrong recipe for a country like ours. liz: congressman donalds thanks for joining us tonight. it's good to see you. >> anytime. liz: the u.s. border crisis now taking center stage in a big way the washington post reports growing concern among u.s.

intelligence that terrorists, like isis, again using afghanistan as a staging ground for attacks on the west meaning the u.s. and europe, and retired chicago police lt. john garito is coming up. the city of chicago's outgoing mayor lori lightfoot is now getting criticized for saying way after the fact democrats must address the spiraling crime crisis. the same crisis that got her recalled and booted out of office. it's coming up on the "evening edit."

bill maher. >> as democrats, if we do not speak the truth about violent crime in our city, we will be the worst for it. >> let me say to you not only the victims of crime but the people who are terrified about crimes in their neighborhood, most of whom look like us, if we say yeah, the police department is spending all this time and resources and then the judges and prosecutors say you know what? we're going to let you out on electronic monitoring to reek havoc again. >> like chicago, like most of the shootings are young black men killing other young black men. is that not correct? why doesn't anybody talk about that? i mean, why aren't there, you to , 100 giant black celebrities who would have the respect of those people saying what are you doing to yourselves? why are you killing each other? >> [applause] liz: what do you think, john? >> well, you know, it's actually frustrating and

infuriating to watch her speak like that, because she was part of the problem. she has no accountability whatsoever. she created such a toxic work environment on the chicago police department, when officers and there was a coordinated attack on our officers in 2020 first thing out of her mouth was if you saw any officer s do anything wrong please call us and let us know. she actually threw officers under the bus and called them cowards when there was this big bobby rush popcorn scandal which turned out to be complete bs. she has chased out over e offic, every single year she's been in office, and that is a biaving or officers be out there doing the job they need to do, just this last weekend. hundreds of people all over chicago wreaking havoc and mayhem and we end up with 15 or 20 or less. liz: but why do leaders speak the truth after they're basically shown the door? >> trying to line up another job, maybe she wants to be a

u.s. attorney or something hoping biden will give her something, i have no idea why and you know what's even more concerning is the new guy that's coming in, of course, you know, we're cautiously optimistic, we hope he will do well, we live here, but he's already talking about not demonizing the teens that are running around out there, and he's going to chase out businesses. liz: you know, walmart is closing half of its stores in chicago. we're looking at the data. walmart stores in chicago hit with annual losses that nearly doubled in the last five years and then when you look at what's going on with police in california getting demoralized you have california governor gavin newsom, he's now calling in the national guard and state highway patrol, john, toa targen francisco now putting all of its products on lockdown, everything behind lock and key in the store amid a shoplifting crisis there. this is stunning footage.

>> yeah, their policies are chasing out businesses. they're chasing away our citizens, our tax base. they're chasing away our officer s that don't want to work in these environments, and they are basically killing the golden goose. that's essentially what we compare it to here. the new guy coming in is probably going to hand everything over to ctu, which is the chicago teachers union, and continue the same policies that failed in the last administration. liz: so you know, what's really striking, john, is that official s get into office. they think they can reinvent the wheel on what's been working for generations, especially on crime. crime was going down since the 90s and now it's back up after this leaders stepped in and thought they could just do their thought experiments and change laws that were working and protecting u.s. voters and american citizens for years. final word, john. >> well that's because they

have politicized law enforcement you can not politicize law enforcement. you have to let us do our job. let the officers do what they know how to do but as soon as you start interjecting politics, and all your promotions are based on race and gender and no qualifications and no experience and you don't let officers, we've got foot chase policies that don't let officers make a decision to chase. as soon as you start incorporat ing politics and politicizing law enforcement this is what you end up with. liz: john, thank you for coming on the show and for your service to the city of chicago. good to see you. great incites there. our "evening edit" hot take coming up, monica crowley will be back with us, plus, the u.s. border crisis now at center stage. the washington post reports mounting concerns among u.s. intelligence that terrorists, like isis, again using afghanistan as a staging ground for attacks on the u.s. and europe. this as biden collapsed the border just a generation after 9/11, but first let's check in with our friends dagen

and sean, we want to see what's coming up next. good to see you guys. >> sean: you too. we have steve scalise coming up unpacking a new rule from the epa that targets ultra-clean natural gas power plants as well as responding to aoc's new comments on the crazy new deal. in addition, dagen? dagen: going to send your costs sky high, miranda devine on all things hunter biden, and also is he living at the white house to evade paying his baby momma and paying for one of his kids, plus david webb, deroy murdock on that infant killed in that carjacking, and misdemeanor charges on that. >> sean: 14 minutes away. ♪ the biggest ideas inspire new ones. 30 years ago, state street created an etf

liz: joining us now from house arms services congressman mike johnson. congressman, it's good to have you on okay we're just a generation away, just a generation away from 9/11. # million 6 million illegal border crossings under this president, 800,000-plus gotaways, dozens of terrorists caught trying to cross and now the washington post reports again afghanistan is a staging ground for isis and terrorists to do terror strikes across europe and the u.s.? >> yeah, you know, liz, as it

turns out, leaving afghanistan in the hands of a terrorist group and entrusting their benev elence turns out to be a terrible counterterrorism strategy. it is inexcusable. the withdrawal in afghanistan was a terrible mistake. it cost the lives of 13 arms service men and women and countless afghans and to date, no one in the administration has taken responsibility. liz: are people in d.c., do they have their hair on fire that americans are really worried that the border is under a state of collapse and terrorists are trying to cross and afghanistan is a terrorist staging ground again? is anybody in washington upset and worried saying cut it out? >> we're livid. we're livid. when we have the secretary of defense, lloyd austin, when we have general milli, anybody with the pentagon in front of us, we grill them and ask them these questions. sometimes they look us right in the eye and tell us things we believe not to be true. the problem is, as you know, we only have the majority in one house of congress.

we have oversight responsibility in the house, but we have no ability to take this further. i mean, there are some officials in this white house, including the secretary of state, anthony blinken who because of the bombshell revelations about his being involved in the 51 signers of the intel letter claiming that the hunter biden laptop story was a russian hoax, that makes him eligible for impeachment but we're not able to do that because chuck schumer and the democrats run the senate. liz: let's watch former president trump and even democrat debbie dingle saying she's worried about what's going on in afghanistan. watch this. >> we didn't have anybody killed in the last 18 months. i spoke to abdul the leader with nobody killed and everybody understood and we were getting out with dignity and strength in citied i think it was the most embarrassing, i think it was the most embarrassing period the way we withdrew. not the fact that we withdrew. the way we withdrew from afghanistan, and i think putin actually saw that and he probably got a little more

ambition frankly. >> i sincerely hope that our money is not flowing to terrorism. i think the pentagon has got to do a better job of showing us that that is not happening, but i am worried. liz: you know, excuse me, let me just step in here. the inspector general for afghanistan already testified and he's a guy, he's a career veteran. he's an upstanding guy and said yes, he's worried u.s. money is now still funding the taliban. your final word, sir. >> yeah, that's exactly right. we're deeply concerned about that. we have to continue to dig into this and get the facts, but the more we dig, the more alarming it is, the more concerned we are. they are diminishing our credibility on the world stage and that's the greatest threat. joe biden, anthony blinken, all of them are doing untold harm to our strength on the world stage and that's a dangerous thing and time. liz: congressman johnson we'll have you back on again soon, thanks for joining us tonight. good to see you. >> thanks liz. liz: we've got our "evening edit" hot take with monica

♪. liz, for tonight's "hot take" we bring back former treasury secretary for public affairs monica crowley. monica, good to see you. so the president expected to announce a 2024 bid for, off of a video. reuters reporting though, monica, reuters is saying this, that he doesn't have the

pandemic to help him anymore. that biden campaigned from his basement literally in delaware. again he doesn't have the pandemic anymore. the other thing too is, remember when former president obama said you know who does not got this? he said it in 2016. obama said this in 2016 you know who doesn't have this, joe biden. they purposely kept him off the campaign trail in 2012, and now he will run again? >> liz, remember barack obama who was once his boss in the white house, never underestimate the ability of joe biden to mess things up. i won't use the expletive. the covid they could keep him off the campaign trail and limit his appearance that will be no longer the case, barring extraordinary event happening next year. he will make the announcement tomorrow by video that doesn't

necessarily mean in the end he will be the candidate. remember he is a couple years older. when he ran last time in 2020, he was you know, marginal in terms of his cognitive abilities now he is older, less adept. he has a track record as president that is not favorable from crime to the economy, to the wide open border, to foreign policy. so he will have a much more difficult slog and in the end i'm not entirely convinced he will end up being the democratic nominee. liz: well who is? >> well if for whatever reason he cannot make it, say by the fall or early winter of this year, you would have gavin newsom, the california governor, you would have perhaps michelle obama, throw her hat into the ring, perhaps mrs. clinton. i think you would have a democratic free-for-all for that golden ring. liz: monica, nbc poll, seven out of 10 don't want biden to run again. >> right. liz: more than half of democrat voters say no.

half of democrat voters say age is a problem. he is not on the stick. he is not up to the job anymore. >> well, that is exactly right. i think that is going to really weigh on his polling going forward, along with his job approval. you know, his actual performance as president in the white house has been abysmal. he is in the upper 30s, low 40s in terms of job approval. when you marry those numbers together, liz, this does not look like a very encouraging run for joe biden. that's why i'm not entirely convinced his name is going to be on the ballot next year. i think watch for other names that i threw out there. just watch when they will do. liz: monica, you're terrific. have you on soon. thanks so much for watching "the evening edit" on fox business. that does it for us. take it over now to the hit new show "the bottom line," run by dagen and sean. they have a hot new show for you tonight.
