" the evening edit" starts right

now. >> we're working an investigation on hunter biden, we're trying to assess a true and accurate tax assessment for him. so if there is money that's going elsewhere whether it's for president biden or elsewhere, we need to follow the investigative stepses to insure that happens, and they were just not allowed in this particular investigation. david: more explosive allegations revealed by former supervisory special agent gary shapley. the president's son deposed today under oath for a defamation lawsuit brought by the owner of that delaware repair shop where momentummer left his infamous laptop from hell, so-called. mark meredith at the white house with more. hi, mark. >> reporter: good evening to you. tonight pressure is building on department of justices and a u.s. attorney in delaware to better explain how the government handled its investigation into president biden's son hunter. today our cameras were in delaware as the first son was arriving for a deposition tied to a defamation case. he did not speak to the media,

but an irs agent who oversaw the investigation into hunter biden's taxes is speaking out plenty. irs supervisory agent gary shapley says he's cooperating with congress as a whistleblower and that while he was working on the case, he was prevented from taking certain investigative steps including looking into any leads involving president biden. >> we weren't allowed to ask questions about that. we weren't allowed to the ask about the big guy. we weren't allowed to include certain names and document requests and search warrants. >> reporter: republicans on capitol hill are outbridged -- outraged, lindsey graham writing specifically two whistleblowers led u.s. attorney weiss wanted a special counsel designation and was denied. they also state efforts to bring stronger cases in washington and california were rejected. these allegations are corroborated by contemporaneous e-mail, it is imperative these allegations are addressed head on. also asking for u.s. attorney in delaware to weigh in on what

happened behind the scenes. president biden says he he had no interactions with his son when it comes to business dealings, and the white house says it had no oversight over the decision and charges tied to the first sop. david? david: mark, thank you very much. for more, let's bring in congressman darrell issa from house judiciary committee along with former doj attorney hans von spe kousky. congressman, let's get right to it, where you want to go an -- on all this based on what we heard from the irs whistleblower. i would assume that you want to get the u.s. attorney, david weiss, who came out with some very, very interesting information according to the irs whistleblower, you want to get him before the committee. how much of a possibility is that? >> it's always difficult to get a line agent, but in this case where the u.s. attorney's making the decisions and those decisions are well outside any reasonable norm for the crime

committed and the investigation continues to seem to be thwarted, it's very appropriate. there's a famous case, the harriet meyer case from the wall white house counsel who was compelled to come by the democrats based on a federal court decision. and so at the edge of the day, if we need it -- and i believe we do -- we will get the person most knowledgeable and involved in it. now, they're trying to i say that it's the an ongoing case, but they're also trying to wrap this case up at a misdemeanor level, sweep with it under the rug are, hide the possibility that hunter biden was not the final recipient of some of this money, and if we've got whistleblowers including special agent supervisor shapley who are telling us under oath, telling us that, in fact, basic policies have been broken, the ability to follow the leads has been stopped. and it doesn't matter whether the orders came directly from

the president or somebody who works for the president. at the end of the day do, this is a conflict that should not be allowed. david: i want to get hans in, but i have to ask, you keep saying they. does the doj main have the authority to are prevent david weiss from testifying? >> they can try but, again, we've gotten even harriet myers, the white house counsel, in front of committee under john con jers -- conyers when democrats were in charge based on decisions. if chairman jordan wants it badly enough and we're willing to push hard and long enough, we will get it. david: hasn't, let's get to a -- hans, let's get to a specific charge about david weiss and his inability to charge outside of his district. according to irs whistleblower, he wanted to charge hunter biden in california and elsewhere, in the district of columbia, but was prevented from doing so by those u.s. attorneys. how difficult, or is it unusual

at all, for u.s. attorneys to be able to charge outside of their district? >> well, it's not that unusual because you often have cases that span different areas of the country. you know, problem here is that attorney general, merrick garland, has said that he had given david weiss complete and full authority to make all final decisions on this, and now we find out that's not true. and garland said that under oath to congress which means he may have lied to congress about that particular issue which is a very important one. david: now, congressman, if other witnesses come forward confirming that david weiss was prevented from prosecuting hunter biden outside of his district, does that represent to you obstruction of justice? >> i believe it does, that anytime they're thwarted you've got to the answer for why were they thwarted. if there was a good and compelling reason, fine, bring with it to us. but it's very clear that you

have a difference that was resolved by upper management, not by the independence of the u.s. attorney who could have and should have done more. david: and when you say upper management, are you referring to the attorney general? >> i am. i mean, at the end of the day the president is ultimate authority. the attorney general receives their authority from him. and then everyone gets it down the line. so as you go up, you pick a spot. obviously, the attorney general wears two hats. one of them is a political appointee who supports and defends the president regularly, and that's where the conflict comes, and that's where we think it should be held accountable. david: well, hans, if the attorney general is guilty of obstruction of justice, isn't that grounds for impeachment? >> it is. but, look, something else we ought to just quickly mention, the irs agent has said that unlike the plea if agreement for a misdemeanor which seemed to mention only $200,000 in taxes not paid, he says the amount was

$1.2 million. to treat that as a misdemeanor instead of as a felony is just unbelievable. david: yeah, it sure is. but it's happening right in front of us. congressman and hans, thank you very much, both of you, for being here. appreciate it. >> thanks for having us. david: meanwhile, one of president biden's talking points as he rolls out his efforts to put a positive spin on bidenomics is that america's wealthy need to, quote, pay their fair share of taxes all while irs whistleblower gary shapley says the president's own son still owes taxes on $400,000 of income from burisma. watch. >> it's about time they start paying their fair share. begin to pay their fair share. make corporations and wealthy americans start paying their fair share. we're going to raise taxes on multimillionaires so they start paying their fair share. >> there's till around $400,000 of unreported income from burisma in to 2014. david: joining us now is former

arkansas governor mike huckabee. so, mike, biden's own son still owes taxes on hundreds of thousands in income, and president biden has the gall to lecture other folks about paying their fair share? your thoughts. >> it's just beyond amazing, david. this fair share stuff, i hate that language because the truth is most people who do earn a lot of money also pay an enormous amount of taxes. and when joe biden gets out there and talks about the millionaires and billionaires and they don't pay taxes, it's a lie. it's just a flat lie. and most of the taxes in the country, about 80%, are paid by the top 1 or 2 earners -- 2% earners in the entire nation. and there's a whole bunch of people who pay nothing, absolutely nothing, for the benefit of being u.s. citizens. hunter, by the way, is one of those people. he's a deadbeat. he didn't pay his fair share, still hasn't. and he had to go to court to finally pony up to the pay for the daughter that he has in my

home state here in arkansas where he has tried everything in the world to say he's impoverished while living in malibu in a beachfront home, spending time flying around the world. yeah, it's a little hypocritical for joe. he needs to sit this one out. david: meanwhile, it's not just the wealthy who are paying a lot of money in tax, it's also americans with the inflation tax. that's why they feel they're behind the curve, that's why they feel this is not a good economy, and they do not give biden any credit for the good things. and hook at, the top line, by the way, is the real, is the nominal wage growth that we've had. we've had wage increases, but when you take inflation into account,ing we've had wage losses, and that's why americans are feeling so poorly. >> yeah. one out of three americans say that the economy is in bad shape under the so-called bidenomics. and if i were joe biden, the haas thing i'd go out and do is say, boy, aren't you having a good lifesome people aren't

stupid. their gasoline costs more, their rent costs more, their travel costs more if they get on an airline if it even is going anywhere right now because pete buttigieg is on the job and making sure a lot of the flights get canceled. you just keep going on and on. and and when people look at their own circumstances, he was to at some point say who am i going to believe, you know? am i going to believe joe biden or my lying eyes? i have to live with them every day. david: there's also the question of competence, competence of joe biden himself. for the most challenging job in the world. he stumbles quite a bit. we put together a little collage of that, a montage. let me play that, roll tape. >> well, guess what? less than -- guy driving a truck hit -- anyway, knocked down a whole bridge, the whole box -- four lanes of the highway. helping the inflation reduction act, the new plant's being built.

three-quarters of u.s. industries grew more consecrate, consecrated. i'm thinking i didn't go to mass. david: it is pawnful to watch, but you've got to watch it because he is the president. he's the commander in chief. he's got, somewhere there's a red button that we don't want him to get hold of if he's in one of his bad moods. what are we to do with that, and how much will that play into voters' minds as they go into the election? >> david, you have to believe that high ranking democrats across the country every night are saying what are we going to do? this guy cannot be our nominee. keep in mind those gaffes that he was giving out in chicago, this was not some impromptu speech and he was suddenly thrust into the podium to make some comments off the cuff. if it's scripted. he's reading from a teleprompter, and he can't get the words together because he just seems addled. and when he finishes a speech, somebody's got to grab him by

the arm, tell him which way to go and lead him off because he doesn't know. even though there are arrows that are painted on the stage. i've been to lots of presidential events -- [laughter] and this is not like, jee, i wonder -- gee, i wonder where he's going to go. all he's got to do is look down and follow the arrows. he can't do it. david, this is pretty serious. tad. david: we have the republican side. last question, but even though you have some changes in the polls, vi vivek ramaswamy is up a little bit but desantis is down, is there there anybody or anything that can stop the trump from being the gop nominee? >> well it's not going to be what the democrats are doing because every time they attack him and they indict him, his numbers go up because people aren't stupid. they look at what joe's getting by with, they look at what hunter's getting by with, what hillary got by with, what democrats -- let's even go the adam schiff. and then shay see -- they see don do trump has his home raided

at 6:00 in the morning and this constant persecution, and people are ready to say let trump have another shot at it because we know he's motivated to clean out the deep state. david: even if before the election he's convicted for a crime? >> i think people will see it for what it is. this is, in fact, as donald trump calls it, a witch hunt. what else could it be? david: mike huckabee, good to see you. have a wonderful july 4th, thank you very much is. best to your family. >> thanks, david, you too. david: we have shannon bream here breaking the decision by the supreme court striking down college admissions based on race, reversing a decision made 19 years ago. ♪ ♪ >> i cannot stress this enough, i have been a civil rights attorney for 30 years. this is a great day for equality in this country. it's a great day for the equal protection clause. ♪

>> i got a 1590 out of 1600, so the top tier stores i applied to were mit, princeton, the harvard, carnegie mellon and uc-berkeley. >> he was rejected by all of them. david: a landmark historic

decision, the supreme court rejecting affirmative action, outlawing using race as a factor in college admissions. here's what president biden had to say about the decision. listen. >> so today i want to offer some guy dedance to our nation's colleges -- guidance as they review their admissions systems. they should not abandon their commitment to to the insure student bodies of diverse backgrounds and experience that reflect all of america. what i propose is a new standard where colleges take into account the adversity a student has overcome when selecting among qualified applicants. david: and on the other side, here's republican senator tim scott of south carolina. roll tape. >> sending the message that somehow the color of your skin means that you will not be able to achieve your goals from an educational perspective, from an income perspective or family formation, that is a lie from the pit of hell. david: with me now is "fox news sunday "anchor shannon bream.

shannon, thanks for being here. let me get to, first, the president's comment. it sounded for all the world like he was giving instructions to colleges about how to get around this supreme court decision, didn't it? >> well, you know, to some folks it certainly did. and the chief justice writing for the majority today actually sort of addressed that. he said this doesn't mean we're going to take away personal essays or stories, those kinds of things that people relate on their admissions, their applications. and, listen, if that corrects -- connects to their background, their ethnicity, those kinds of things, great. that can be in personal essays, and colleges are can freely consider them. but the chief justice also said this is not supposed to be an end-around from the core of our decision today. you can't do indirectly what we're telling you you can't do directly. those personal stories and essays are are going to be part of people's applications, and they can consider them, but it can't be done in a way that checks any sort of box with respect to race.

david: and, in fact, there was a press conference by the students for fair admissions after the decision, they favored what the supreme court diseased. they said they're going to the -- decided. they said heir going to sue any institution that flouts this decision. if any institution tries to do what is recommended by the white house, you're going to get sued. >> it can be really tricky because how do you find the right plaintiff? a plaintiff who says, okay, id had almost perfect test scores and a 4 plus gpa and i didn't get in. can you get ott to the data that would show you that somebody else with lower stats got in? people are going to be watching very closely mt. wake of this decision, and they'll cite back to this saying if it's about race at all, it can't be. i want to read something from the opinion that the chief justice wrote about this and saying how students should be considered. he says they have to be treated based on his or her experiences as an individual, not on the basis of race, and many universities have, for too long, done just the opposite.

in doing so, they considered that the touchstone the of an individual's ability is not skills built or lessons learned, but the color of their skin. david, he said our constitution simply will not allow that. david: let me just ask about whether this has implications for what corporations are doing with their diversity, equity and inclusion programs, dei as it's known. will this play into cutting back on a lot of these diversity programs that companies have for, not just for hiring, but also for promotions? >> well, this is very specifically about the education, the higher education system. we had a public and a private college, both of them take federal money, so you've got government action involved, so this is specifically targeted to that situation. now, will somebody somebody want to take this very lengthy opinion and concurrences and dissent and say, hey, based on the reasoning in the supreme court decision, i would argue x, y, dis, i want to apply it to this different case if we're talking about a corporate

situation. remember, title vii already says that employers cannot discriminate on the basises of race, and we've seen the litigated in both directions. so this was very much about higher ed, but we'll see if somebody tries to extend it elsewhere. david: shannon breernlings all of this is up your alley. of course, tomorrow we're going to have that big supreme court decision on student loan debt, so we'll be watching you on "fox news sunday," 2 p.m. eastern time on fox news and check your local listings for broadcasts earlier. thank you, shannon, appreciate it. have fun this weekend. well, for more reaction we welcome roger severino, former director of the office of civil rights at the department of health and human services, currently vice president of domestic policy at the heritage foundation. roj arer, you have an interesting personal story to tell about all of this particularly with regard to harvard law school where you were admitted. i take the it your feelings have changed about affirmative action programs over the years, right in. >> yes. i was a beneficiary of

affirmative action for many years, and i grew up in a poorer circumstances, highly diverse, but my asian friends including an asian girlfriend did not have same opportunities i had even though we grew up in the same place because of the color of my skin. and it really gnawed on me for years. i eventually stopped participating. i couldn't stand with that injustice, and when i went to apply for harvard law school, i did not check the box, and i'm so glad i did -- didn't because, you know, i wanted to be measured on my worth, on my merit. and, yes, my life story's important, but you can't reduce that to just a checked box with based on skin color. and that is the injustice that was eliminated today. asian-americans are the biggest beneficiaries of this decision. they're being artificially capped by harvard are, very expolice explicitly -- explicitly, for years on end they used the personal scores to say, well, literally, we don't

like your background for this or that reason. all of that was an excuse to say there were too many asians here, and that sort of injustice cannot stand. and i couldn't take a spot of somebody more qualified because of my skin color, so i stepped away from that and now, thankfully, the court has said this is unconstitutionsal and contrary to the -- unconstitutional. we are judged on the content of our character, not the color of our skin. david: yeah. i have to run but i've just got to say one little way that the representative, the lawyer who was representing harvard tried to talk his way into a decision in his favor, he said to the supreme court during the recitation of that, in fact, it's kind of like what harvard was doing, it's kind of like an oboe player that the orchestra was in need of to which the head of supreme court, chief justice roberts, said, quote: we did not fight a civil war about oboe players. we did fight a civil war to eliminate racial discrimination.

boy, he gave it to him. there was no response to that. >> it was a tour de force. and chief justice roberts had said is, you know what? you can't reduce people to just the color of their skin. and the left, especially justice jackson, saying this is about institutional racism, that there's no way we could ever get out of the question of racial balancing. you're right, there's no way we can get out of racial balancing if we continue to racial balance. there's no enpoint. and the chief justice said, no, the endpoint is now. i received a letter from harvard, you know, very sad saying we're till going to find another way. you saw president biden say they're going to resist this decision. heir going to do the everything they can -- they're going to do everything they can to get around it, and there has to be further lawsuits down the road. a. david: it's a pleasure to be talk to you. not everybody does what you did. roger severino, thank you for

being here. how president biden's regulations have cost americans like you almost $0 -- 10,000 per household. that according to one study. energy expert alex epstein is here to talk about that and much more coming next. >> the market was already working here. what the biden administration did and the congress without republican votes is manipulate the market, pick winners and losers, ended up hurting companies like hyundai, kia and rivian, and that's just not way it should work, you know? we ought to either have incentives that treat everybody fairly, or we shouldn't have them at all. ♪ ♪ so you only pay for what you need. that's my boy. ♪ stay off the freeways! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

david: well, president biden's green energy push has his administration looking to invest $2 billion from last year's inflation reduction act into america's electric vehicle transition, this as biden administration races toward its goal of decarbonizing the u.s.

auto industry by 20 the 50. many argue that these aggressive clean energy initiatives are hurting small businesses and working class families. joining me now to discuss is energy expert alex epstein. alex, good to see you. just to put it in perspective, ford motor company loses more than $66,000 for every ev it sells, gm has similar losses. they say they'll be positives in a few years, but with we just saw the bankruptcy of lordstown that was pushed by both republicans and democrats, and now we're funneling even more tax dollars into these money losers. will investments ever pay off? >> well, i don't think of them as investments because it's really forcing us to use something inferior and then also something inferior that threatens the viability of our grid, right? so i'm totally for ev competing to be costfective, but what the biden administration is trying to do is to mandate them. the $2 billion is nothing compared to their goal of 67%

evs in the next nine years, you know, getting to that point, more than 10x in evs, and this is something that people aren't choosing even at the inflated subsidized prices because they're not cost effective for most people. and we have a grid that's already tiahrting on collapse, and we're -- teetering on collapse while we're reducing the supply of reliable electricity. we've got to get this fascist behavior out of government and let evs compete on a free market. ca. david: despite the president saying he'd never tax anybody under 400,000 -- [laughter] the the middle class and poor are paying for all of this stuff in terms of inflation and regulation. regulations are another tax hike, if you will, or another increase in prices people can't avoid. and it's particularly hitting the small businesses terribly. there's one estimate, by the way, that families spend $10,000 more as a result of all these new regulations. >> yeah. i mean, i saw that study. i'm glad people are trying to quantify this.

it's really unquantifiably destructive. just think about restrictions on oil around the world, like restricting oil investment, oil production, oil transportation, oil refining. this has made oil more expensive, that makes everything more expensive. same deal for natural gas, same thing for coal, let alone what it's done for nuclear, made it completely non-cost effective in some cases. it's an infinite cost, and we need to start realizing that regulations, so-called -- really government control -- is the biggest thing the that's hurting our welfare even more than taxes. david: by the way, you put together on the internet ten loaded climate questions for politicians that are going to be peppered with these things. do you believe many climate change, that's number one. how would somebody respond to that? >> people think of questions as innocent like, oh, it's a question, but questions always involve assumptions and, therefore, assertions. so when somebody says, hey, do you believe in climate change, they're deliberately saying

climate change, they want you to agree because we all believe in some form of climate change, but they want you to agree to climate crisis. how i respond is if you mean by climate change we have some impact on climate, yes, i believe in that. i do not believe in climate crisis. we've had about one degree in warming, and we've had a 98% decrease in climate-related disaster, so so we're actually having a climate improvement. david: the book is fossil future, and if you want to see the full list of politicians -- of questions for politicians, look at alex's twitter account. it's terrific. and you, of course, provide all the answers as well. thanks for being with here, alex epstein. after two years of talk, california's reparations it is o hand over its proposals for payments to black residents. what will it cost and how will the state pay for it? radio host stacy washington answers that. also comedian dana carvey hitting i out on dr. fauci next

david: well, california's reparations task force meeting today for a final time and handing over its proposal for payments to eligible black residents. now, economists is have projected the cost could top $800 billion. so how is california trying to close a $32 billion budget going to pay for it all? kelly o'grady is live in los angeles with more. i don't expect you have an answer for that because i don't think there is one, kelly. >> reporter: well, that's right, david. and the task force didn't address that point,

conveniently, today. so the final report instead stayed pretty high level, providing a road map for how california can atone for slavery despite it never being legal in the state. nonetheless, during today's meeting supporters demanded be paid. >> what do we want? >> reparations! >> when? >> now! >> reporter: while many expected the report to issue a concrete dollar amount, the tasks force is leaving that challenge to the legislature. instead it delineated over 115 recommendations. however, it did suggest methodologies to the calculate potential compensation so the harms addressed include health disparity, mass incarceration and taking of property by with eminent domain. while previous figures topping a million dollars have been discussed, council members only admitted reparations would be expensive. >> let's be clear and honest, the cost of reparations will be high. but make no mistake, the harms that are done are just as high.

>> reporter: now, the california legislature will now review the report with the authority to adopt, adjust or dismiss any of these recommendations, but there will be a lot of pressure after more than two years of monetary promises. and while governor newsom has expressed support, he has carefully avoided committing to compensation. >> it doesn't have to be in the frame of writing a check. reparations comes in many different forms. but one cannot deny these historical facts, and i really believe very strongly we have to come to grips -- >> reporter: further, many critics question how the state would even pay for this, right? california is already facing a $32 billion budget deficit is, david. i just don't see how this works. back to you. david: it's interesting to see him try to wiggle out of it. no secret he wants to be president of the united states, i think he realized, people realize how impossible this task is. kelly, thank you very much. well, joining me now is first policy institute the ambassador

stacy washington. a stacy, of course, that is the question. how the heck can a state that's got a $32 billion deficit pay $800 billion for this? >> three times the cost of their annual budge, is what we're talking about here. budget. and so, you know, gavin newsom has to pick his way through the daisies carefully because he needs to say yes to reparations to be on the democrats' good side, but he also needs to acknowledge that if he wants to be president, he has to the sound like he knows a thing or two about fiscal policy. never mind the fact that he's run california into the ditch with his horrible ideas, he also has the problem of this particular wedge issue because it should have been handled under president obama. first black president, he controlled both houses of for two years. he could have done reparations then, he chose not to, so it's an unfinished, unfunded, incomplete mandate s and he doesn't want about to have to deal with it, but he'll have to. david: a lot of states are talking about it, new york has a

new reparations committee, etc., but they're going to be faced with exactly the same problem. they can't print money, and you'd have to to to pay this -- what about the philosophical idea that we are guilty for the sins of our to great request, great grandparents? i mean, there's no end to that. i mean, if you begin along that line, everybody's -- i mean, there were black africans who sold their brothers and sisters to the slave masters. so, i mean, there's a lot of guilt to go around here, no? >> right. and that -- here's the other issue, we have so many other endemic problems facing america, homelessness, mental health crisis, an uptick in crime across the country and and major cities trying to grapple with infrastructure issues that that have been unaddressed. and americans are really looking at kitchen table issues, things about their budget, their finances, shortageses, and, of course, there's always the issue of jobs. a lot of americans are saying how is it that we should be addressing reparations instead of these other, more pressing

issues, and i agree with them. david: right. and how about giving black american families the same freedom that rich white families have many terms of school choice? giving their kids the kind of education that would give them a leg up that right now in many of these poor black communities they don't have. >> yeah. and so, you know, we have college-aged kids, and our children went to to public school and then private school, and we didn't have school choice in missouri back then, so it wasn't an issue of us being able to access that, is so we paid twice. a lot of black families are doing that, a lot of families period. democrats won't tackle the issue. that david david they sure wouldn't. thank you for being here, stacy, appreciate it. >> thank you. david: comedian dana carvey hitting out on dr. fauci with a stinging impression. but first, let's check in with our friends dagen and sean to see what they have coming up on "the bottom line." sean: hey, david, thank you. gangbusters show coming up, leo

now taking hits like this. has he lost his halo? >> i mean, you love to see it, right? first of all, nobody should be above being made fun of, right? we should all have a sense of humor about ourselves which is something, unfortunately, dr. fauci rarely laughs. but, you know, the time for a covid reckoning is really long overdue, and so whenever you see people who are not part of the original conservative side who were du or ly suspicious of the overreach of the covid regime coming out and a making fun or criticizing, that's always a great moment. so i'm really glad to see this, is and i hope we will get more accountability as time goes on. david: beyond the comedy, there's obviously some very serious stuff going on. today there was a letter are from brad wenstrup, chairman of the subcommittee on coronavirus pandemic, and it was to a guy named dr. david warrens who's at the national institute of infectious diseases, some very disturbing e-mails that were sent by the doctor various times throughout the pandemic.

one of them said dr. anthony fauci wishes to influence to covid-19 origins narrative without his fingerprints. then they go on to say tony doesn't want his fingerprints on origin stories. so it does appear like tony fauci had something to hide there. >> yeah, or at least was very worried about the direction that an investigation into the origins of covid would go and whether it would eventually land on him for the ways in which he funded the gain of function research. i mean, even worse than that is the way this david character had used his personal e-mail account to evade freedom of information requests. now, of course, the freedom of information act was an act that was put in place so that the american people could get transparency from government officials, and he was using private e-mail accounts so that he wouldn't have to get these. they're called foia requests. this is from the people who claim to be the party of science and transparency? give me a break with. david: yeah. and going right back to where we

started, it is true there were so many, so much of the advice we got at the beginning of the pandemic like, you know, get a shot and you won't get sick, just turned out to be wrong. quickly. >> absolutely. and you know what? sometimes the science is wrong, but a real scientist admits that. they don't obfuscate, lie and try to evade responsibility. terrible. david: happens so often. that's inside the belt withway. batya, thank you very much. the latest fox news poll showing americans are skeptical of not only what happens in the justice department and the fbi, but all over d.c. congressman greg steube will be coming up next on "the evening ed it -- edit." ♪ ♪

>> reporter: president biden, how involved were you with your son's chinese shakedown text message? were you sitting there? were you involved -- >> no, i wasn't -- >> reporter: were you? >> no! david: wow. president biden's repeatedly denied he was involved in his son's business dealings despite recently released messages where hunter claims to be sitting right to his father while shaking down a chinese business associate for payments of $5 million which arrived shortly after that call or that whatsapp text. voters, meanwhile, are are calling for accountability, and according to the latest fox news poll, americans are skeptical of not only the justice department and and fbi, but over all federal agencies. with me now is congress.

amanda: greg tube by. congressman, can you really blame americans for being skeptical? >> no. i, obviously, am skeptical too because you're seeing all this information, this evidence before the american people of all the corruption that's going on in the biden family, the department of justice and the fbi, and thankfully the republican majority mt. house is bringing some -- in the house is bringing some light to all this evidence and bringing that to bear for the american people. david: but as critical as it is restoring trust in our institutions, particularly the fbi and the doj, our institutions of law and order, how do you do that? it's a very tough nut to solve. >> well, we're going to have to go through impeachment proceedings for merrick garland, for director wray, for all of that to bring some type of assurance to the american people that the highest levels of the doj and the fbi, it's not corrupt. but it's going to the take time, and it's going to take a new administration to really right all the wrongs that have happened over the years.

i mean, this didn't just happen the last couple years, this has been going on for decades in the doj and fbi. even during the trump campaign, the russia collusion hoax, the intelligence apparatus the used the spy on citizens, so it's going to take a while for the american public to have confidence in the fbi and doj. david: so you think the evidence has already risen to the point where there is enough evidence for an impeepment of the a.g -- impeachment of the a.g.? how about biden himself? >> oh, it's overwhelming. you have actions -- i mean, you don't -- you have testimony, whistleblower testimony of individuals that were a part of the actual investigations, you have text messages, you have whatsapp messages, you have all of this traffic, you have tony bobulinski who has actually testified that the big guy was part of the 10%, and he met with him. you have overwhelming evidence of violations of federal law and corruption that obviously cannot be ignored. this is not political, this is 100% the justice working for the

american people, the republicans in the house bringing justice -- david: hey, congressman, we only have about ten seconds, but is there going to be specific evidence from the bank accounts or whatever link aring joe biden to these payments? >> yeah, and that's what we're going through now. there's multiple subpoenas that are out. and at this point it's about $40 million that we see that the biden family has gotten from foreign dealings. david: greg steube, thank you very much. appreciate it, congressman.. i'm david asman in for elizabeth macdonald. thanks for watching "the ending -- evening edit." now it's time for dagen and sean. dagen: david, thank you so much. ♪ dagen: good evening, i'm dagen mcdowell. sean: and i'm sean duffy. welcome to "the bottom line." dagen: don't be fool by his busy schedule, joe biden may be kicking off
