proven innocent. larry: they have guns and they don't even know how to use the guns. liz: but they have to take ours away. this story coming up. former president trump has a brand-new nickname for joe biden it's crooked joe biden. we have more sounds from trump coming up on the show. trouble for hunter biden in court. it's happening this coming monday. it could open the window further on how hunter biden made this money in the corruption probe. reporter: despite another try to delay this in-person hearing monday, an arkansas judge ruled the president's son hunter must appear for this hearing. london roberts is suing hunter biden. she says her 4-year-old daughter

is his 4-year-old daughter. dna showed she is his. he made childcare payments. but she believes he's not living you have to his end of the bargain and is withholding information. what sets this story beyond a child support dispute is we may find out more about hunter biden's finances. he's under federal investigation and he has been since 2018. the attorneys office in delaware is look into this tax affairs and business de -- business dealings as well. representatives from u.s. attorney david weiss was there as well. there is no indication hunter plans to fly under the radar even as a potential indictment

looms, because there is no certainty he will actually face charges. we have seen him tacking alongside his president father. he was in ireland shake hands with throngs of excited people. and he was strolling around the east lawn of the white house in the easter egg roll. his dad running forral second term wants his son with him in public. liz: joining kneel, tom dupree. the "washington examiner" reports three former u.s. intelligence officials who signed that influential letter before the 2020 election falsely claiming the hunter biden laptop story was russian disinformation, they got jobs in

biden's white house administration. >> it's very troubling. this letter which you point out was signed by a whole bunch of former national security official was orchestrated by the biden campaign to take the spotlight off the hunter biden laptop story. now we are learning that the people who who kowtowed to the political pressure. liz: all this as the fbi and intelligence officials are accused of mobilizing to cover up the hunter biden laptop story. that more and more is showing corruption on behalf of the biden family. former cia acting director mike morell claimed this is going on. let's watch former president trump here.

>> i will be retiring the name crooked from hillary clinton and her moniker. and i am going to give her a new name like maybe lovely hillary or beautiful hillary. but i'm going to retire the name crooked sow we can use the name for joe biden because he will be known from now on as crooked joe biden. liz: what do you think, religion? >> well, our one sacred justice system has turned into a political cesspool and a half gate by left wing radicals. those 51 folks who signed that her committed fraud. they propagated information about this hunter biden laptop being russian propaganda with zero basis. it was flat out fiction. they did that to try to get people to vote for biden. i find it an incredible

hypocrisy when president trump is indicted with the stormy daniels because he allegedly tried to influence the election? this is criminal. liz: let's watch msnbc. >> let me get something else out of the way. people like trumpers, they are obsessed with hunter biden. i was watching another net work the other day and they were saying joe biden is so disconnected from america, he's so horrible, he's so this, he's so that. they go to one of the guests and say why is he so bad. hunter biden's laptop. are you kidding me? if there is something on it. send him to jail. what do you want to us do? talk about it every day?

liz: that's morning joe. it's not trumpers reporting on it. it's nbc reporting on it and verifying the hunter biden laptop is real. the doj top officials stonewalled charging huntern wis ago. what do you think, tom? >> the fact is that this hunter biden story should have gotten a lot more information on it sooner. there should have been a media spotlight put on it. the fact that the biden administration mobilized former intel officials shows what an important story it is. these are newsworthy stories and they should be covered by

reporters in america all political stripes and persuasions. liz: it was nbc that reporting to the "washington post" what was going on with this. even "the washington post" is saying they wanted to move on charges six months ago. what do you make of this whole thing? >> it's called deflection. when you don't have the facts in your favor, this what is you do. if you look at the facts in this case, why is there not a federal grand jury investigation? why is the doj controlling this whole investigation? why didn't they impanel 21 folks 21 years ago. why is there no grand jury? i will tell you why, because they want to control the narrative and control the out come.

the fact of the matter is, over $4 million from correct fc, a chinese energy company has been paid to 8 or 9 family members of the bidens. what about the burisma threat to stop that investigation. why is that not part of a global versussing with nation by a grand jury. liz: look who is with us. we are excited to welcome to the show, lee carter. we love reading your columns and your work. when you saw this story, "politico" is reporting the white house was stunned by speaker kevin mccarthy's success for making the case for spending cuts in the debt ceiling fight. and a new gallup poll shows president biden's polling the

lowest in history. he represented himself in a way that shows he's out of touch with the american people. he's talk about how great things are. and the people know they are not. i think what the american people are saying we are tired of you have playing a game of political chic within our future. kevin mccarthy got a deal done and the president won't even meet with him. i won't explain why. he won't say what part of the deal he's rejecting. he just said he won't meet with him. i think people believe we are better together than we are apart. the president promised unity and he's doing nothing but dividing. >> the other thing, lee, there was no usual rally for biden's campaign launch. there was only 7,100 grassroots

supporters to watch the livestream of the campaign call on youtube. 416,000 watched the campaign launch. "axios" is reporting white house insiders are worried about biden's age and stamina. >> when you look at the polling it shows why that happened. 70% of americans don't want joe biden to run for office again. for those who voted for him last time say they are less enthusiastic to vote for him again. there is an enthusiasm gap. liz will be 8 national polls, more democrats don't want him to run versus want him to run.

watch how a hot mic catches a handler telling biden how and where to walk. you will see more of the action with the president going on lately. >> the one thing i thought when i got to be president, i get to give orders. but i take more orders than i usually did. you've got a blue marker. that's okay. >> we are the supply chain to canada. >> the first person i'm calling on is josh. i was able to cut the deficit by $1.7 billion in two years. we created 12,000 brand-new jobs in two years. that's more than any president has created in four years.

8%. let me start off with two word. made in america. >> so "axios" is reporting with all of these gaffes, they are going to so tightly control this in the white house and the democrat party, this will be the most rose garden centered presidential campaign in a century. how will that play with voters? >> he got away with it in 2020 because of covid. he was in his basement. a lot of people made fun of that but they still understood it. his job was to do no harm in that election. in is case you will have to make the case to the american people that when he says i'm going to finish the job, it means something good for them. 71% of americans are not happy with the direction of the

country. most americans feel less well off today than they did when he took office. when women talk about the economy, they are more unhappy with the economy than men. that's why you are seeing him what on the i shall democrats talk so much about abortion. it's their way of trying to win the american women back over. run the gamut, quinnipiac, monmouth, emerson, pew and more. let's bring in house republican tim krir muchs. you did not toteo vote for the debt ceiling bill. >> it still raises the debt to $19 trillion. we are not reducing debt it's an accounting trick they play on

freshmen. they say it reduces the rate of growth and it's still growing. we have to stop the rate of growth and reduce the deficit. we are at $32 trillion. liz: you are worried the white house added $6 trillion in just two years. obama went really high over 8 years. "the washington postesident bida bottomless pinocchio. he claimed 30 times since june that he lowered the budget deficit by $31 trillion. but no he didn't it's because pandemic spending ended. white house aides are worried about his stamina and "politico" reporting they are not sure what's going to happen with this

2024 race with this president. >> i was in the locker room before the state of the union address. and the democrats and some of them were huddled and they had an over-up on -ununder on the sf the union. the word was 55 minutes. he talked through the applause, whatever he was doing to keep himself alert, it was going to wear out in about that amount. so they had to get him in and out as quick as possible. it was reality. we are in a mess. what else is astounding is the other traditional media is not picking up on it yet as much as they should be. it's obvious to everyone out there. >> thank you for joining us today. taxpayer watchdog groups sound

>> news coming into the studio. we have a dozen house democrats joining senate push led by senator joe manchin to stop the president's attempt to block tariffs on chinese solar panel manufacturers. is this a growing mutiny against the president's green agenda. the cost of biden's green agenda. >> house republicans want to undo the so-called inflation reduction act. this new estimate they say is yet another reason why. >> we repealed a big portion of this in our bill that just passed the house so we have a good opportunity to save the

taxpayer money and make our economy strong and not invest wholly in china. we have senators who voted for this who said they would like to cap it or repeal this. >> the budget model projection says over the next 10 years the inflation reduction act will cost three times more than its original estimate. they say that's just the climate and energy provisions of the law. they say the move to electric vehicles accounts for nearly $400 billion of that $1 trillion total. to our colleague edward lawrence, the white house is defending the piece of legislation. >> the inflation reduction act reduces the deficit over the long run. >> the number of experts said the cbo likely underestimated the deficit reduction to cut down on rich tax cheats.

>> the bottom line is the inflation reduction act is costing american taxpayers a lot more than originally advertised. liz: joining us now, a former top pentagon official who served our nation in the navy for 24 years. thank you for your service. what brady just reported is what goldman sachs is saying. how can the biden white house force the military to only use electric vehicles when china dominates the electric battery production. >> unless they are willing to give more money to the military to execute. it will come out of military operations. it's more than being economically tied to the chinese making the batteries most likely behind all this.

it's a lot more ill conceived. >> are there charging stations on the battlefield anywhere around the world where americans are sacrificing risking their lives. shouldn't our soldiers have the best equipment they possibly can? electric planes or b2 bombers, or electric trucks. what are they doing? >> obviously not. the equation comes down to thrust for aircraft, it comes down to horse power for aircraft and for ships. batteries don't have the energy so they don't compare. it doesn't make any operational military sense to shift over with the technologies they have now. anything on the tactical front. what they have been focusing on is non-tactical vehicles. that should be narrowly focused to the crash truck on a base.

but even that comes with some risk. when you no longer have the ability to power up the generator or the energy source to get electricity to the base. even in the united states. you can't just have electric cars. you have to have multiple sources. >> we don't have enough charging stations here. let's get your reaction to jake sullivan and rick perry under trump. you will see senator joe plan -- joemanchin weighing in on t. the united states produces zero percent of the anyone and zero percent of the graphite needed to make electric vehicles. 80% of critical minerals are processed by one country, china. >> if you see this administration pushing to

electrify our military vehicles we need to wave the white flag and say let's turn it all over to china. i promise you the chinese will maintain their fossil fuel to conduct a war. >> everybody in this administration is moving to quickly to electric vehicles and we don't have the ability to produce the batteries we need to power them ourselves. liz: and they want to do this with the military? >> the military is a guinea pig, they can control it. defense is part of that. so it's easy for them. they don't have to worry too much. it doesn't make sense operationally for anything that's tactical for sure. but follow the money. someone is going to benefit from this and it won't be the american soldier or sailor or airman. >> it's campaign donors.

it's a circle of money. >> thanks for joining us, it's good to see you. we are turning now to this major fight that's escalating. tennis legend martinna and a march slams liathomas. president biden's new move to penalize high credit mortgage buyers backfiring badly.

this biden rule is backfiring rapidly. the new fha rule penalizing mortgage borrowers with high credit. they will have to pay fees to subsidize riskier borrowers. more economic studies show it would disproportionately slam asian borrowers. they have higher credit ratings than any other demographic. >> you do the right thing and you get hit for it. that's basically everything the biden administration does. this is effectively a tax increase. you are taking people who work, who save and do the right thing, we are taxing them effectively to hand out money to people who weren't as responsible. this is how we got the sub prime mortgage crisis 15 years ago. >> that's right. when i was at the "wall street

journal" the banks were accused of red lining risk -- red lining riskier borrowers. then you had the sub prime mortgage crisis. you are saying this is another unintended consequence of government intervention in the market. we just had the federal reserve out with reports that the silicon valley bank was incompetent. they were distracted by woke agenda items. it doesn't matter what msnbc and cnn says. we have been through the pamphlets at silicon valley bank. they were distracted. now everybody has to pay for what this white house thinks about inclusion on mortgage

borrowing. >> this is doubling down on what the biden administration does. they don't care about people's hard work and attempts to build a brighter future for all of us. it's really complicated to do business corresponded nation to figure out the best ways to grow the economy. when they do things like this with credit scores and get in the way of good business coordination and economic planning, all that happens at the end of the day, the pile falls apart. you have this kind of mess and they are begging for more tax -- taxdollars to clean it up. >> it's incentive, incentive, incentive. fdr talked about incentives. biden changed the economy with the stroke of a pen. now we have federal, first republic on the ropes. and we have this

unconstitutional student loan bailout. republican virginia foxx is leading the fight on that. this is massive government intervention into the government sector. >> it creates uncertainty temp. they don't just steal from hard working americans. they create this insecurity about who could possibly invest and no what's going to work and what is not going to work. the package they put together. liz: people want to work. they want to own things on their own and stand up and do the right thing. we are optimistic about america. it's still there. but this white house is one of the worst according to 538.

liz: joining us, alabama state

representative susan devoe. you sponsored a bill banning transgender athletes from participating in college sports. >> i sponsored a bill to protect female athletes in college sports. women deserve to play on a safe and level playing field. competing with men is not a fair playing field. in alabama we know what a woman is. we are not afraid of the truth, we have common sense here. we want women at the collegiate level to compete with biological women. in the k-12 level, then we took it on to the college level. liz: we have martina navratilova shutting down lia thomas.

thomas slammed people as being transphobic. martina navratilova says what you are doing is not fair. women should not have to explain the to you over and over again. compassion for individuals, but they should have -- martina is saying have your own trans league. >> that's an idea. i'm not trying to do that here. if somebody wants to take that on. i'm here to protect women athletes. we have seen athletes getting hurt. we have seen athletes working decades for a goal and for records. any time a woman loses a record, they lose a place on a team, a place on a podium, it's one too many women who have been hurt. as i said in alabama, we have

common sense, we know who a woman is, and we are not afraid to stand up. we had tremendous support from republicans and democrats. fathers went down on the floor, a democrat father went down on the floor and spoke. they want their girls to play with other girls. it doesn't make sense other -- otherwise. >> people have to start standing up for the truth and using the common sense god gave them and stand up for what's right. i think we have about 16 states now that have passed this law at the collegiate level. if we have to do it one by one until every state passes this law, then so be it. it's the right thing to do. liz: women only get less than

10% of ad revenue. when they lose at the high school level they don't get scholarships. they don't get equal pay in sports anyway. this story coming in, bud light is on a major new ads list to bury once and for all its transgender ad controversy. that was after the coast to coast boycott that saw it flung 17% in sales. they are holding closed door meetings in d.c. according to a trade paper saying they will spend heavily on the marketing to fix what happened. final word. >> common sense would have told you that was going to happen. people in america and alabama know what a woman is. we want them to be able to compete fairly with other women. we do not need to be changing the definition of title 9 either. >> thank you for joining us.

it's good to see you. our hot take is coming up. we have former fine director chris swic canner. the irs is ramping up fire power in all 50 states to collect more money for government spending. it's going after the bad guys. but the problem is you are guilty until proven innocent with the irs. let, check in with dagen and sean. >> we have former energy secretary rick perry. we'll talk about green policies and how they impacted policies. the end of title 42 in a few weeks. dagen: i will call it the great climate con. john carney the first republic

likely winding up in receivership, the third bank potentially to have failed in a little more than a couple months, really. but what is biden worried about? of course the climate. we have a mystery guest, we have no idea who it is. . i could live to be 100. we work with empower, even if we do live to 100 we don't have to worry. eh, not worried. take control of your financial future to empower what's next. ♪ ♪ do the work, before the work. bodyarmor lyte. more than a sports drink.

>> let's welcome back to the show, chris swecker. what do you make of the story that tax paper watchdog groups in an uproar. the irs reportedly plans to hire 50% more irs acts in the criminal division, they are adding 1,200 more of them. the concern is you are guilty until proven innocent before the irs. >> i draw as dings between a regular auditor and the cid. i'm deeply concerned about the 80,000 or so awed towards. the cid investigators. i worked beside them. they worked terrorist financing.

i don't have a problem with that. that's two agents per field office. the 80,000. once you get in the irs loop, even though they are wrong most of the time, it takes you years to get out of it. i had a client who was a military veteran that claimed his military retirement was a distribution. they are incredit blin efficient and most of the time wrong. i'm afraid they will harass small businesses and individual taxpayers. liz: there has been a history of the irs mismanaging firearms and lack of respect for due process. the last time they looked at this, special agents were accidentally firing off their

weapons more often than they intentionally fired them. that's an issue, too, right? >> that could be an issue. that happens in all agencies unfortunately. but it's interesting to hear that they fired off more accidentally than intentionally. they are not rock 'em sock 'em investigators. so they don't get themselves in those situations very often. but the armed special agent calculate gory which fbi and atf acts are part of. as long as they are directed at

speaker back with us former assistant fbi director chris walker, what we were just talking about, let's expand on this open the books report roll agents with the rest authority and guns across the u.s.

government then the u.s. mar marines. your reporting armed agents agriculture, labor, the small business administration, epa. they have numerous armed agents and agencies, why? >> that's a good question, i wrestled with that when i was ahead of the committal investigative division. there's 50 some odd inspector general's they have armed 1811 series agents because that is armed categoryit's interesting

we have militarized agencies. hhs has opened the box $400,000 on tactical gear, 85 grand on body armor. at has 500 armed agents, the irs has nightvision weaponry. to your point, there hopefully going after the bad guys. it's an all-out blitz to basically do more audits and hire more workers and agents. the irs commissioner says they're not going to audit or go after those under 400,000 but do you believe that? >> no i don't believe that. as a small business owner it strikes fear, as i said i had experiences with the irs as an attorney representing clients and most of the time they are flat out wrong and they're trying to check a box, get this data. the 80000 scare me.

i'll go back to the original theme the irs theme investigators i like working alongside them. they're good at following the money and they can get their hands on tax returns and the type of information that really enhances an investigation. when would they use them that way the 1811 series i'm okay with that. you mentioned hhs they do a lot of healthcare fraud. that's off the charts, several hundred billion dollar industry. they need more investigators they don't necessarily need armed investigators they need a lot more investigators to dig into that. >> catch the bad guys, not the little guys. great insight, thank you for joining us in serving our na nation. i am elizabeth macdonald. thank you for watching "the evening edit". we hope you have a terrific weekend. be sure to tune in on monday night we will have a jampacked hour, look what's coming up, the bottom line the dagen and shawn. good to see you. sean: have a great weekend
