5:00 pm
larry: save america, grow the economy, and support the mccarthy bill. and you watch jackie deangelis in for elizabeth mcdonald. jackie: a long and brutal week for the fbi left the top law enforcement agency's credibility
5:01 pm
in crisis and it starts at the highest level. >> some people at the top forgot their oath they made to the fbi. jackie: we are still unpacking that explosive john durham report including revelations that the fbi shut down multiple investigations into alleged criminal activity involving the clintons months before the 2020 election. griff jenkins has the latest for us. griff: what a week ending with renews calls for new clinton investigation and questions whether john durham will test -l testify why top fbi brass shut down four investigations into the clintons. one was investigating claims of
5:02 pm
two foreign governments seeking influence with hillary via illegal donations and three illegal donations into the clinton foundation run by field offices. even ignoring evidence given to the fbi about a clinton plan to vilify trump. durham writes this. unlike the fbi's opening of a full investigation of unknown members of the trump campaign based on raw uncorroborated information, the fbi never opened any inquiry, employed analytical personnel or produced analytical products in connection with the information. former attorney general bill barr had this reaction later. >> there appear to
5:03 pm
different standards. one that applied to trump and one that applied to other cases of hillary clinton, very clear and specific allegations of foreign influence attempts. griff: will durham testify next week? negotiations are under way between durham, the doj and jim jordan with no decision yet. but if durham wants to appear, ag merrick garland will not top him. joining me, former fbi agent. the durham report comes out and confirms what the critics have been saying all along and what the evidence was pointing to, that the fbi lost credibility for how it handles this. as ag barr said there were two standards. now the democrats are asking for
5:04 pm
even more money to fund the fbi. what say you? >> there is 35,000 employees in the fbi. 12,000 of those are agents. the men and women of the fbi want to do the right thing. we are looking at a situation whered a handful of high-ups clearly did the wrong thing. but that should not discredit the entire fbi. jackie: i hear you on that. i want you to listen to this sound bite from one of the fbi whistleblowers. >> how does your family feel after you have gone through all this? >> we are just trying to do the right thing for this nation. if that means even becoming homeless at the hands of the fbi, we are willing to do that. we are willing to sacrifice that. jackie: i hear you, john. there are a lot of good agents within the agency. if you listened to the hearing yesterday.
5:05 pm
what blew me away is the democrats would not even acknowledging these were valid whistleblowers. they didn't want to hear what they had to say or recognize that they existed. >> there has been a number of people beyond the three that came out in the hearing yesterday that voiced concerns about higher leadership in the fbi. we need to take that into account. i think director wray is trying to make changes, but there needs to be a lot more done. what's the check and balance for the future so this never happens again. jackie: it's not necessarily limited to the fbi. but we are dealing with a situation with hunter biden as well where we don't see our federal agencies taking any action despite the fact the laptop was proved credible, and there are a lot of questions about who the big guy is and what kind of business dealing
5:06 pm
joe and hunter had overseas that were impacting the security of americans. if americans can't have confidence in federal agencies like the fbi and doj, to me it means our system is breaking down. >> you are right, i do see a breakdown. everything the fbi does is at the direction of doj. they need to be agnostic when it comes to this and not play politics. hopefully we'll see a difference in the future, maybe a change of leadership. >> even ag barr acknowledged the fact that people responsible for what went on and were cited in the durham report are no longer with the agency. but even though those specific people aren't there, that doesn't tackle the larger problem of possible pockets of corruption. >> the problem is one of being
5:07 pm
biased politically. back in the day you couldn't have as much as a sign in your yard indicating who you would want to vote for. i would suggest we need to look at who can monitor that. the doj cannot monitor themselves. we need to look at the bigger picture to keep everyone honest. jackie: the left-wing media looked at the durham report and said it was nothing, it was a non-event. but people on the other side it was a huge event exposing and confirming what was already believed. media is part of the problem here. it seems like the media is working in concert to help the left and the progressives. >> politicians do what politicians do and the media sometimes plays along. what we want are the fbi agents out there trying to do the right thing to be supported by leadership. at the end of the today it's
5:08 pm
about protecting the american people. let the fbi do its job and keep politics out of it. jackie: the whistleblowers were brave to come forward, and as you can see it's difficult for them. especially not to be acknowledged. but the impact it had on their lives. we appreciate you being on with us tonight. let's turn to the 2024 race. south carolina senator tim scott officially declared himself a gop presidential candidate. he filed a formal campaign launch expected monday. this as ron desantis made a -- made an appearance in the swing state of new hampshire. for more on this, let's bring in forbes media chairman steve forbes. let's dig right into this. the field is starting to grow
5:09 pm
for the gop. you have got some respectable candidates with a lot of ideas. part of the problem with a growing field is they tend to attack each other and take each other down. tim scwot and ron desantis have proven themselves in their states. what are your thoughts on who we have at the moment and who will be coming next week. >> obviously donald trump is the frontrunner right now. the polls say that. i think what will emerge after the debates. two or three cinderella candidates. candidates not in the headlines now but people impressed what they aring doing and want to learn more about them. going back to 1976 and 1980. the country was very dissatisfied with what the country was doing.
5:10 pm
ronald reagan emerged. he was considered a fringe candidate in '79-'80. don't be surprised if a tim scott emerges or one of the governments emerges like governor sununu. or governor bergen of north dakota. jackie: there are a lot of similarities between joe biden and jimmy carter. some liken jimmy carter to donald trump. we spoke to voters about what they are look at as they think about what candidate they want to support. >> the most important things to latin oh voter are sensible things. education for their children, good education. economic issues. kitchen table issues, and the
5:11 pm
immigration issue out of control is not making democrats -- is not makin -- is not making latis more sympathetic towards democrats. >> you see it on the state level. you saw proposition 13 which slashed property tax in california. you see it with the education savings accounts. the democratic governor of arizona tried to pull it back. popular opinion prevented that. wholess taps into that, reagan tapped into that with a good substantive program. not just do you have a good record. that's great. but what kind of program are you going to be putting out there.
5:12 pm
donald trump has a problem with suburban and independent voters. how is he going to overcome that. people are tired of all this negativity. jackie: they sure are. and it's been a tough few years. another voters discussioned an issue that hasn't necessarily been on the table. corruption in the government, free speech. this is one what voter had to say. >> free speech, censorship i think is the greatest threat to democracy, what we saw as public school parents when we stood up for children we were called white supremacists and racists. but we weren't just standing up for our own children, we realize if our society didn't value children and if all children couldn't go back to school and to normal, then nobody would go back to normal.
5:13 pm
jackie: as our society becomes more polarized, the free speech issue is important to people. people. >> look over your shoulder. who is listening. what will you say inadvertently that will destroy your career. the woman voter and what she said about education. parents speak up? oh, what do you know about education. where are the experts. people are tired of phoney expertise and shutting down debate or asking questions. jackie: or you belong on a terror watchlist. final questions, the president made a mess at the border and the situation is only getting worse. there is an appetite for rebuilding the wall. your thoughts on how powerful
5:14 pm
that will be as we head into 2024. >> it will have a tremendous impact in the blue states as the people who are undocumented come pouring in and what it does to something services and quality of life. build the wall to prevent this kind of massive assault on our borders. people don't mind immigration per se, they want it to be orderly, legal, and the people who come in, we need to know who they are. jackie: crime? >> look what's happening to young people and the cartels. we empowered the cartels in mexico. they are a case withy government in mexico right now. now it's coming along in a way that's sad.
5:15 pm
jackie: eric atoday's is asking for billions of dollars to deal with with the situation here. it's tough. and how he manages this will be part of his record and his trajectory moving forward. it's starting to have real consequences. >> putting them in school:00 cos won't work. >> transportation secretary pete buttigieg brutally mocked over a puff piece. why are biden government employees still working from home. republicans demand to know how many federal officials are working remotely because of covid. and they say u.s. taxpayers deserve better.
5:16 pm

>> we have got to get moving.
5:21 pm
jackie: that was speaker mccarthy today on debt negotiations, talking about pausing them. president biden will cut his landed g-7 trip short. joining us now is house ways and means committee chairman jason smith. it's great to see you tonight. the first question, any conversations with mccarthy? any light to shed on the situation in yesterday it seemed both sides felt it was possible to trike a deal as early as the weekend. now we are hearing a pause. >> what is expected in negotiations? any time you have people with two very strong didn't opinions and directions to go, there will be ups and downs and definitely today was part of that.
5:22 pm
it's unfortunate president biden waited 97 days before he began negotiating. he probably should have stayed in washington instead of traveling outside the country so we could take care of our problems first before you go somewhere else. jackie: these are the kinds of things that really i think are con better in person. so a lot of critic are hitting the president for taking the trip at this type when the nation's future essentially hangs in the balance. right? this is something that americans aren't taking lightly. but somehow the white house is digging its heels in. it seems there are certain elements within the mccarthy proposal. saying we'll race the debt ceiling but cut spending. all this president has done
5:23 pm
since he took office was spend spend spend. that's why we are where we are. >> in the first two years they increased spending $10 trillion. it was a $10 trillion increase. for he american to try to project and analyze how much $10 trillion is, imagine if you spent $10 million every day since jesus christ was born, you still wouldn't spend $10 trillion. so that's why house republicans want to address this fiscal insanity. jackie: that's a fantastic analogy. when you talk about inflation hit a record high of 9% because of the excess of $6 trillion that was spent in new bills, and prolonged pandemic policies, the and dem can was clearly over.
5:24 pm
thousand we are dealing with a situation where americans are struggling to put food on the table, racking up debt to the tune of a trillion dollars. personal savings has dwindled. when you put the debt ceiling situation into the mix and the fact we may not be able to i social security, for example, or our military bills, you really think about what is at stake here. the last time it happened our credit rating was downgraded. this is not something the country need right now. >> that's why the house republicans passed the limit. we are the only chamber to increase the debt limit to avoid default. the house democrats can't get a vote on what the president has been requesting. he wants a blank check debt limit increase. that's not what the american
5:25 pm
people want. not even senate democrats are going along with that. that's why it's crucial we have serious real negotiations where everyone gives a little. >> your colleagues in the house are questioning how many federal employees are working from home on pandemic policies. they are saying the taxpayer deserves better. >> the taxpayers definitely deserve better. every federal employee of the government are at service to the american people. that's why congress passed the show-up act, requiring people to show up for work with the federal government. we had the secretary of hhs and highlighted a vacant parking lot at cms outside of washington, d.c. on a monday. jackie: this puff piece on pete
5:26 pm
buttigieg talking about infrastructure, he's the transportation secretary, only occupies a sliver of his voluminous mind. having said that, his job is infrastructure. >> is job is pretty important. supply chains, infrastructure. the railroads. there have been some issues there. a lot of the liberal media likes to give puff pieces for anyone who is a liberal. if you are conservative, you are going to be crucified. >> thank you so much, good to see you tonight. a study shows more workers are testing positive for using marijuana. elon musk not backing down from his criticism of george soros, despite main street media

5:33 pm
morning. this will be the city's main intake center. migrants are given food and water as well as legal services. some migrant families will live here. 175 families will be living here and that number will increase to 850. the hotel has been closed for three years. but now it's part of the mayor's solution. we counted 38 migrants on board a bus this morning after the mayor sent two buses to sullivan county, and within two hours the city declared a state of emergency to try to stop the city from busing migrants. >> whoever is telling us not to go somewhere. you tell me where we should go. reporter: we are learning the
5:34 pm
mayor's office is in negotiations with hotel owners in duchess county to start busing migrants there as early as this sunday. >> with me now to discuss further, tom homan, former acting i.c.e. director. it's always great to get your perspective on this. new york city is a sanctuary city and the mayor is overwhelm by what's happening. he wants to ship migrants off to other counties and they are saying no don't send them here. you walk the streets of new york and it's palpable. the city is becoming completely overrun and there is nothing anybody can do about it. >> mayor adams asked where should he send them? they should be going to i.c.e. detention. get away from the catch and release. i.c.e. has thousands of empty
5:35 pm
beds already paid for by the taxpayer. rather than following the law that when we you are an arifling alien you shall -- arriving alien you shall be detained. instead they will put them in nice hotel rooms. they will send news back to their relatives and say i crossed the border and i am in a swanky hotel. kamala harris needs to secure the border and do her jobs. he needs to look at the oval office, the underlying reason right there. jackie: one texas mayor on "mornings with maria" said he has no sympathy for new york because it's border states that have been completely overrun.
5:36 pm
the summary is texas is dealing with this in the worst way. so mayor adams, what's the problem. >> if the mayor wants to see what a crisis looks like. go to el paso or laredo. what he doesn't realize. these people are coming to new york anyways. he's upset because they are being sent by a republican governor. but thousands and thousands come to new york city he month on their own because they are a sanctuary city. they can get a job, a driver's license. they get funding from new york taxpayers to fight their immigration case. they get free healthcare, why wouldn't they go to new york city. they can commit a crime against a american citizen and after they get booked into rikers
5:37 pm
island, they return to the streets. that's all gone now because they are a sanctuary city. jackie: taxpayers are outraged but it seems like it's a solution that's not coming. we have so many people fleeing blue states for greener pastures in red states. blue states only become bluer and will only vote for people like mayor adams or possibly more to the left of him. does the problem ever work itself out? >> they can fix the border today. they can implement the remain in mexico program which is a game changer for us in the trump administration. the federal courts said remain in mexico is a legal program. people can still claim asylum but they have to wait in mexico.
5:38 pm
i think both sides are getting fed up because this isn't just about immigration anymore. they have 1.7 million gotaways. if you don't think a single one of those 1.7 isn't a terrorist that got away. jackie: there was a terrorist apprehended in san diego that had come over the border. this wasn't speculation. it's actually happening. tom homan, thank you so much. leaders from washington to silicon valley are warning about using artificial intelligence. this is about china weaponizing the technology and also the potential for a data leak. the biden administration is coming after your kids' chocolate milk. a study shows more workers with

jackie: a growing number of states h -- have legalized or decriminalized marijuana. now a growing number of workers are testing positive. >> what is concerning is people smoking on the job, that also seems to be increasing. the rates of post-accident marijuana screening for marijuana use has gone up. it's at a 25-year high. if there is an accident at work and that individual is tested. 23% tested positive for marijuana. in 10 years we saw an over 200% rate increase.
5:45 pm
that correlates to when we saw the first states legalize marijuana in 2012. since then a majority of states have passed some form of legalization. >> you are at work. you have got to be attentive, you have got to be alert. you have got to listen to the customers, you have got to be safe. these are parent things to consider when you come to work. when you are high you lose that sensory and lose that control. your mind is not all there. >> a big thing that has been a concern and workers and employers struggle with is the amount of time marijuana stays in the system. it can stay for days, weeks and months if you are a habitual
5:46 pm
user. some employers are not testing because they said if they did, they would lose all their employees. jackie: here in new york city they are smoking it all hours of the day. joining me why joe imalgi. they said we'll test it and the red states will gain revenue off of it. but it feels like more people are smoking pot, they are doing it out in the open and it feels like our country is getting dumber as a result of this. it's still illegal federally. we have states that made it legal. that creates a conflict. and there is not testing policies in place. they have people slowing you have trying to operate machinery
5:47 pm
while they are high. that's a problem. if we stop people on traffic stops and they are high on marijuana we should be able to test that like we do for alcohol. we should have these systems in place before we start legalizing everything. >> at 7:00 p.m. i took my dog out for a walk and i saw someone dressed for work sitting on a bench smoking marijuana. we want to talk about elon musk. he's slamming billionaire george soros for funding the politicians and d.a.s so many cities are complaining about. the some of the-on-crime d.a.s. we have one here in new york in alvin bragg. he says it does great damage to

the cities. >> he's absolutely right. wherever one of george soros' candidates wins, death and destruction are sure to follow. the track record speaks for itself. marilyn mosby. crime is up and she is up on corruption charges. this is what he does. he gets involved in these primary races. he funds a further left candidate. as soon as that candidate wins, boy, do they go to work fundamentally change our communities through the use of prosecutorial discretion. they start not enforcing the laws at all or do sweetheart deals. jackie: usps stopped delivery in

higher kids might not see a popular item served in their school cafeteria in the coming days. lots of back la, to a biden administration proposal that would potentially ban schools from serving chocolate milk. they are saying it's to combat childhood obesity. they say the plan is another example of federal government overreach that could hurt dairy farmers. let's welcome common sense magazine executive editor, chris bedford. chris, you know, living here in new york city where mayor bloomberg tried to ban large- size sodas, i didn't agree with it. i thought you had to educate people to make sure they weren't taking in too much sugar, fat, whatever the case may be. in this case i agree with chocolate milk. where do you stand? >> [laughter] i'm a little less pro-chocolate milk. i think you go around the entire world and you see a lot of populations that sometimes struggle to get access to nutritional foods. a lot of folks struggle with access to that information talking about but nowhere on the planet do you see a population that struggles with obesity like they do in the

united states and it's hitting children too. when you see obese kids it's something affecting them their entire life and over the years whether it was maine a couple years in 2019 requesting to have flexibility in what people could buy with food stamps, to try to cutoff some of the junk food or the sugar, or whether it's fas food companies like mcdonald's lobbying food stamps could be used in 2011 in their products, a lot of these corporations have successfully lobbied over the years to give nutritional things to our children, or to give them government programs because that's to them and what folks pushback and say hold on a second. why are americans so unhealthy? they try to pullback and say well you're attacking liberty or denying these different things to children. at the end of the day, sixth grader or fifth or fourth grader doesn't have a lot of understanding of health and nutritional benefits but as an adult chocolate milk ain't that good for you. jackie: okay and i agree and that's why i'm saying in moderation but also, you sit back and say the rest of the offerings in the cafeterias aren't exactly, you know, the healthiest options where if

we just got rid of the chocolate milk then oh, my goodness we be okay, the pizza, all of that stuff would have to go too. why do you think they are going after chocolate milk? some say they are going after the farmers and dairy industry. >> certainly an easier thing and milk has come under critique lately because of some of the claims they made majority have been exaggerated over the years. milk is a good source of protein , things we want our kids to have. flavored milk have a lot less even though it's easier for kids but in response, i think all of these things should be considered. one of the reasons we have some of that fried food in our school cafeterias and available to the food stamp programs is a lot of the corn syrup groups and such which also represent farmers, but there's a difference between farmers and promoting them and allowing them to make healthy products we actually want to consume that gives us healthy bodies and society and allowing them to pedal junk because it's

easier and kids like it more. jackie: what about this issue of control? some people are saying this is just, you know, an attempt to power grab in a very strange way ten seconds. >> i'm not so concerned about that. i mean there is certainly a little totalitarian aspects to raising kids, you have to tell them yes and no and control them and my step-son tries to argue his way out but at the end of the day when your five or six years old control is an important thing for parents. jackie: you tell them what to do it's not a conversation. chris bedford, thank you. all right, folks i'm jackie deangelis. appreciate you watching the "evening edit" on fox business tonight and now it it is time for the bottom line. hi dagen, sean. dagen: hi jackie. jackie: have a great night. >> thank you. dagen: good evening, everybody. i'm dagen mcdowell. >> i'm sean duffy. welcome to the bottom line. dagen: we're going to get right on it because we have a big fox business alert. negotiations for a dea
