5:02 pm
elizabeth: we welcome back to the show from senate homeland security senator ron johnson. senator, it's good to have you on, sir. what did you make of this former fbi supervisory special agent in the wilmington, delaware, office? worked on the criminal probe into hunter biden, confirms irs whistleblower saying the fbi headquarters did tell federal agents to stand down on interviewing hunter biden at his home in december 2020. >> well, elizabeth, it's good to be on. the evidence keeps mounting about the corruption that is the biden family. but as the evidence mounts, you don't see the mainstream media covering this at all. they continue to cover up for the bidens, they don't cover the story. but, you know, senator grassley and i pretty well laid out the case of the vast web of financial foreign entanglements. certainly convinced me i would never want president biden to be in office that compromised. he's a compromised president, it's pretty obvious. i think it's pretty obvious that
5:03 pm
his family is corrupt, that hunter biden committed multiple felonies, that the fbi did not do a thorough investigation, certainly not an honest prosecution. but that's the state of affairs right now here in the capitol, and the major news media continue to cover up for the bidenings. elizabeth: this fbi whistleblower is saying fbi headquarters did tip off hunter biden and the transition team about all this in december 2020. so are you and senator grassley worried that biden a's doj will retaliate against these whistleblowers? >> absolutely. i come from the private sector. i was shocked when was holding hearings on whistleblower protection and how it doesn't work that well and how throughout our government these agencies retaliate against whistleblowers. and it's very effective. it sends a very strong signal that even though we have these laws on the books to protect whistleblowerses, the agencies could careless -- care less, and it's difficult to hold them accountable. we in congress in good faith do
5:04 pm
everything we can to protect these whistle blowers, but the reality is something different. elizabeth: you know, doesn't the media see how weak the democrat comeback is on all of this? i mean, we have house oversight democrat jamie raskin saying this is all a distortion, that the fbi whistleblower never knew u.s. attorneys to let or allow any political interference, that it is justice department policy to consider election year sensitivities, but that doesn't mean political obstruction never happened. and this happened after the election in 2020, in december 2020. >> well, elizabeth, you realize in the mainstream media we don't have journalists anywhere, we have -- anymore, we have advocateses for the democrat party. if they see it, they ignore it. they're certainly not going to report on it. they want to make sure that republicans are defeet. that's the way the media behaves nowadays. it's corrupt, it's complicit, it's compliant with whatever democrats want to convey. elizabeth: but america and voters don't want to feel like
5:05 pm
every white house is just campaigning for the next two years or four years, for the next election, it's about running with integrity, running america with honesty. and now we've got irs whistle brokers set to testify this hearings tomorrow. listen to this, speaker mccarthy showed a video to the gop conference this morning outlining biden changing his narrative all the time about what the biden family was doing with business deals overseas with u.s. adversaries involving suspicious activity according to u.s. banks. watch this. >> was anything about those relationships inappropriate or unethical? >> my son has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are you talking about, china. >> cbs news has learned that more than 150 # transactions involving either hunter or james biden's global business affairs were flagged as concerning by u.s. banks for further review. some of those concerns included large wire transfers. >> gary shapley has been at the irs for 14 years and told us
5:06 pm
that the way the hunter biden investigation was conducted was, in his words, quote, outside the norm. >> i have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses. >> were you? >> no. >> shapley, who is still working for the irs, told us even before president biden took office he was directed to avoid leads involving hunter's father. >> -- [inaudible] give me a call. nothing urgent. just want to talk to you. i saw the article online, it's going to be printed tomorrow in the times. anyway, if you get a chance, give me a call. i love you. elizabeth: we added that last part, that audio. fox digital got that sound. what do you make of all this, senator? >> let's face it, joe biden has been lying through his teeth to
5:07 pm
the american public for years. he's a plagiarist. by the way, the news media has known he and his family have been profiting off the biden name for years. senator grassley and i laid most of in this out in our september 2020 report. it was ignored. we were vilified, accused of spreading misinformation. we're getting more pieces of the puzzle, confirmation of what we've already known. we're getting a few more details, but none of this is a surprise to me. i've known that joe biden is corrupt, that he's a proven liar, that he's unfit for office. but, once again, when most americans get their news through either news feeds through the social media giants who are radical leftists themselves, that's what we get in terms of our politics. we get corrupt individuals that are democrats that are pushing more government and less freedom, and americans, unfortunately too many of them, are buying it. elizabeth: let's listen to this, we'll give a preview of what the irs whistleblower's going to say
5:08 pm
tomorrow in testimony. hunter biden is expected to get a sweetheart deal by the doj after a 5-year investigation in the next few weeks. let's watch this. >> based on all of the financial records that we did find, you know, they've been analyzed. that was around $8.3 million he received -- enter from -- >> from? >> from china, from cefc, from ukraine and romania. even when the burisma money was coming in, i mean, to this day there's still around $400,000 of unreported income from brees a ma in 2014 -- burisma in 204. hunter biden was told by his partner, eric schwerin, that he needed to amend his returns, and he never did. d.c. attorney's office declining those charges, david weiss requesting special counsel authority and being denied, and then the statute of limitations expires in november, december of 2022, so those years are gone, and there's no way to recoup the money from that burisma income.
5:09 pm
elizabeth: doj officials accused of helping hunter biden run out the clock on the statute of limitations. james comer is now questioning whether other biden family members did not pay their taxes on the millions of dollars funneled through those shell companies. your report and senator grassley's report found that out too. >> right. first of all, the judge does not have to accept this plea agreement. the judge shouldn't. the judge should demand a thorough and honest investigation, an honest prosecution. that's not what we had that. again, this is a miscarriage of justice right now, and we need a thorough investigation. and we need a equal application of the law, which is what we're we're not getting in this case. elizabeth: senator ron johnson, thanks for joining us. >> have a good night. elizabeth: look who's here, former house intelligence chairmaning devin nuñes. it's good to to see you, sir,
5:10 pm
did the fbi spy on you? i mean, that's what we're hearing out of house judiciary, that your staffers were spied on. what's going on? >> yeah, look, i think it's a real concern for all of congress today because we've seen, as senator johnson was saying, just how bad things have become where things are being treated differently under the law. so i think the warning to the republicans in congress, if they were spying on republican staff at the time, this is back in 2017, i might add, what are they doing today? and so i think chairman jordan doing what he's doing, hopefully the fbi will -- and doj -- will provide what evidence they had to actually go and subpoena records of my lawyers. it wasn't just that it was staff, it was my lawyers. so effectively -- elizabeth: so you were spied on. wait, let me understand this. house judiciary's probing why the fbi allegedly got google e-mail information from one of your staffers on house intelligence, kash patel, and they were spying on you too?
5:11 pm
is that the allegation? >> well, look, that's the effectiveness of it, right? if you take away my lawyers and you look at what the lawyers were saying, all of the republicans on the house intelligence committee at the time were dealing with these lawyers. these were our lead investigators, and we don't know how far it went. we only know this because it was google policy to release this five years after the fact. what i think is really sick about this is, you know, think about the ramifications of this. you had the deputy, basically acting attorney general at the time, rosenstein, and the current fbi director, wray, we had just informed them that they were under investigation by the house intelligence committee. for what? for signing and participating in the whole steele dossier, the russia hoax. but they went to the fisa court and clearly lied. later that fisa was pulled away, you may remember. so by doing this,sing if they really went to a grand jury to get a subpoena to come and target house staff, what that does effectively is it spies on
5:12 pm
us and the communications we're having with those staff. elizabeth: i see. >> and i think that's the way you have to look at it, that's the way it is. and they should not have went to a grand jury. if they were really looking at these staff for some type of espionage or being spies, that sort of thing, they should have come to us immediately and said, hey, we think you have spies. remember, these are staff that have all of our nation's secrets at their fingertips. so they didn't bother doing that which shows this was just political, it was just spying, a way to spy on us to figure out how were we figuring out their malfeasance at the time. kind of similar the what you have going on here now. elizabeth: so it's carve patel, another -- kash patel, another unknown staff ther and effectively spying on you and your leadership team. isn't this a constitutional violation of congressional oversight authorities? it looks like -- >> you would think. elizabeth: yeah. >> yeah, you would think that that's kind of the obvious
5:13 pm
statement there. but we don't even know how many staff that they spied on. we only know it's google. we've seen just one document that shows it looks like there was about a dozen, roughly or so, subpoenas. so did they go after just their google e-mails? was it their phone numbers? was it their bank records? my god, they went to a grand jury to get subpoenas on people that were investigating them. so i'm sure if they were willing to -- they didn't just go after google, they went after everyone else looking for any dirt that they could find on how we were unearthing what they were doing wrong. and that's what i'm saying, it's no different than what you see, what senator johnson was just talking about. this is the exactly the same. what are they doing? they're trying to figure out who senator grassley and senator johnson are talking to, who are the whistleblowers. attack the whistleblowers. you've seen them attack -- and what happens is it sends a chilling effect so that that other good people in the fbi or the irs, they won't want to come forward and do what some of
5:14 pm
these brave whistleblowers have done. elizabeth: this just feels as retaliation. it comes as jim jordan is threatening to hold fbi director christopher wray in contempt of congress over its alleged targeting of school board parents and catholics. he's got a july 25th deadline on this. so what you and your team at house intelligence went through, congressman nuñes, it just feels like retaliation. final word. >> yeah, look, i think it is. and, look, you're not going to be surprised, i will bet you, liz, and if i'm wrong, i'll apologize, but i bet the fbi and the doj are not going to comply with jim jordan's request, and he's going to have to subpoena, and they still won't comply, and it'll be a showdown, you know, over the next few months. they're going to delay, delay, delay. it's a tactic that they have used now very successfully for nearly a decade. elizabeth: devin nuñes, come back on the show. we're going to stay on these stories. >> thank you. great to be with you. elizabeth: another major breakthrough in the cure for also hyper's giving new hope to

5:18 pm
5:19 pm
elizabeth: well, back with us now from the house select committee on china, congressman carlos jimenez. it's good to see you, congressman. first this, what do you make of these reports that a u.s. soldier defected to north korea? he reportedly crossed over the dm dis, that he was reportedly being punished for misconduct while serving in south korea, that's why he allegedly defected? >> maybe, because he had apparently been held in a detention center for some time, and then he had made statements that he didn't want to come back to america. and so, yeah, it could be the
5:20 pm
that he actually did defect and walked over the dmz over to the north korean side, and they captured him, and they have him now. elizabeth: democrat strongholds traditionally have been academia, universities. so your committee sent a letter to the president of uc-berkeley. uc-berkeley is closely working and getting paid by faculty there, by a chinese university? uc-berkeley is probably giving cutting edge u.s. research that could give china a military advantage? what's hang here? >> well, what's happening is that -- and this is not just, it's not just unique to uc-berkeley. we have over, we have hundreds of thousands of chinese students in american universities right now. uc-berkeley is manager that chairman gallagher wrote a letter about saying, hey, you are in a partnership with a university in china, and they are, and and their students and this collaboration is working on cutting edge technology. not just from the civilian side, but also the military side. and you know what?
5:21 pm
it's no coincidence, i believe, that a lot of the new chinese military hardware is looking a heck of a lot like ours. and think that this has got something to do with it. there's a lot of research going on. they're stealing our secrets, they're stealing our secrets using cyber attacks, but they're also stealing our scents with the number of chinese -- secrets with the number of chinese students they have and these cooperative arrangements with our research -- elizabeth: do u.s. universities care in. >> yeah, i think they do. i mean, look, i think it's astonishing that the university said, well, gee, maybe we ought to be looking at this. all universities need to be looking at any cooperative agreements that they have with the ccp. they need to stop it, they need to cut it, need to cut it right now. it's going to be -- it's affecting our national security now and in the future. look, china is the greatest threat that the united states is going to face now and in the foresee bl future, and we need to decouple -- elizabeth: but, you know,
5:22 pm
uc-berkeley doesn't look like it's getting the wake-up call, because your committee's letter is saying that uc-berkeley was working at this chinese institute while also getting paid money from the pentagon's darpa, that the faculty also was getting paid, faculty members getting paid by the u.s. navy and giving china potentially a back door into darpa and the u.s. navy. again i ask, u.s. universities, seriously? are they on the stick saying this is such an issue? are we just going to let academia off the hook as they tuition gouge and live tax-free on the taxpayer nickel, and then they take in this money from china, seriously? uc-berkeley? >> yeah, well, no, i don't think we should let them off the hook. i think we need to really look at what's happening in academia, all the research that's happening across the united states, all the research that's being stolen by the chinese communist party or and putting us at risk. and, yeah, you know, the select committee on china, this is one of the themes that we're looking, one of the issues that
5:23 pm
we're looking at, and we're going to make -- elizabeth: well, it's a hair on fire moment because uc-berkeley in may, they were accused of failing to disclose massive chinese state funding, $240 million joint tech venture. china had been running that at the school for the last eight years, and nobody knew about it. >> yeah. and that's the relationship that they have. look, a lot of these universities are looking at the funding, and that's all they care about is the funding of the research, and where that money comes from they don't really care. but they need to start caring like right now. american universities should be doing research for the benefit of the united states. not for the chinese communist party. that's what this committee's going to be looking at. those are recommendations we're going to be making to the appropriate committees. elizabeth: congressman jimenez, thanks for joining us, it's good to see you. >> we've got another major breakthrough in the cure for alzheimer's. we break down the ins and outs with dr. marty makary. and former trump secretary for public affairs or, monica

5:29 pm
liz. good news tonight, the number of economists forecasting recession is declining. the bad news? that economic strength means continued inflation and continued high interest rates. none of it good for debt-burdened consumers. according to a poll this month by the "wall street journal," the proportion of economists calling for recession in the next 12 months is down 7 percentage points from just 3 months ago. why? well, they credit falling inflation. but inflation isn't gone. at 3% year year-over-year, it's still higher than the fed's target of 2%, plus continuing higher prices are pressuring household budgetses causing more consumers to whip out the plastic more often. as a result, credit card debt is closing in on, get this, $1 trillion. listen. enter we have -- >> we have record high credit card rates, we have record high credit card balances. the new york fed says they're at
5:30 pm
$986 billion, which is a record, and then we have more people carrying debt. >> reporter: now, maybe it would be okay for the average credit card holder to carry around $5733 in credit card debt except for the fact that credit card rates are 20.5%, and that is 4 percentage points high or than 2 years ago. and you're beginning to see the strain. credit card delinquencies are beginning to pile if up. to be sure, they are far lower than the highs of 7% set back during the great recession, but at 2.43% in the first quarter, they've set 6 straight quarters of increases. the trend here, liz, is not your friend. elizabeth: gerri willis, thank you so much. good to see you. let's welcome back to the show former treasury secretary for public affairs, monica crowley. okay, this biden white house, majority of polls show it is failing with the american people. monica, democrats have a new biden 2024, the campaign has a new scape boat to try the blame
5:31 pm
for biden's plunging approval ratings, culture wars and racism. 7 out of 10 say the u.s. is on the wrong track in a growing number of polls. what do you think of that attack? >> i think they're trying to distract the american people from the economic reality of most americans. most americans are really suffering still, most americans are living paycheck to paycheck. they're struggling to make ends meet. so, of course, the democrats and the left are trying to throw out a shiny object of racism, culture wars, anything that they can scrounge up, liz, to get people talking about something other than the catastrophic if biden economy. elizabeth: let's watch former democratic representative stephen richmond. listen to him on m msnbc, and watch a pundit and her take on cnn. watch this. >> i would love to say we sit around and just look at the president's approval ratings. we don't. we focus on those challenges that are facing our american families.
5:32 pm
and to the extent that there's so much chaos and confusion and division and so many culture wars, so many acts and displays of racism -- >> it's hard to convince people things are going well if they're having trouble meeting their bills, if they're having trouble keeping their kids in college or paying the rent. elizabeth: does anybody serious -- by the way, that was on msnbc. does anybody seriously believe that the biden campaign is not looking at biden's poll numbers? >> of course not, liz. i mean, that was just a blatant falsehood. and, look, politicians and their managers and their campaigns always try to spin news, but the best that they can, but nobody believes that. look, it wasn't so long ago that we had a booming economy urn president trump. so for most of the american people, hay don't have to reach back 40 years to the reagan boom, they only have to reach back 2 or 3 years to the trump boom to remember how much better they had a it. right now after, what, two and a
5:33 pm
half, three years of joe biden's catastrophic presidency, now you've got two-thirds of the american people who disapprove of his economic department, you have two-thirds who also are living paycheck to paycheck and really struggling, and you've got nearly three-quarters of the american people with a negative view of the economy. next year is going to be a kitchen table election. it is going to be a referendum on biden's failed economic leadership, and that's why you see so many distractions. but people are not going to be distracted, liz, because the economic reality that they are living every day is really, really grim. elizabeth: even abc reporting prices for household staples rising 6-8 times faster than overall inflation. we're talking about vegetables, bread, beer. i mean, polls show voters do not believe biden. and he wants trillions of dollars in new tax hikes as the gao and and congress finds the government is wasting hundreds of billions of dollars in
5:34 pm
taxpayer money, we're talking $2.4 trillion in overpayments over the last 20 years or so. they're just blowing money right out the back door, taxpayer money getting wasted. >> yeah, that's the age-old story, right? that the government wastes money, and there's so much waste, fraud and abuse in the system, doesn't matter who the president is. the government is so huge, there is so much misspent taxpayer money. but under biden that has been put on steroids. you know, if you have a national emergency like we did with covid under president trump -- elizabeth. elizabeth: >> yeah. but when you continue emergency level spending absent the actual emergency, you get the kind of inflationary environment and catastrophic pressures on the economy squeezing the middle classes and lower income -- elizabeth: you know, i want you to listen to this. democrats are downplaying cocaine found at the white house. it's been said the u.s. could find osama bin laden but not
5:35 pm
the person who left cocaine in the west wing or even brought marijuana into the white house? watch democrats downplay it. watch this. >> if you all want to be strip searched for substances before you go into the white house, that's something that you should work with the secret service to see if they can accommodate. >> was it confirmed that it was cocaine? >> reporter: yes. do you think this is a national security risk? if it's something like fentanyl that makes its way into the white house, that's a huge problem. >> that's just gossip. >> cocaine, yeah. >> was anyone using it? >> yeah. >> i'm asking you. >> reporter: i don't have any of those details. >> what's it based on then? elizabeth: that's the democrat standard, was anyone using cocaine in the white house? that this is all just gossip when the fbi confirmed it was cocaine? eric swalwell saying, what do you want, a strip search for those to who visit? what are they talking about? they sound so out of touch. if this was the trump white house, nancy pelosi would be calling for impeachment.
5:36 pm
>> of course, yeah, this would be another round of impeachment for president trump if to cocaine had been found in his white house. look, this is a schedule ii narcotic, highly addictive and highly illegal. the president of the united states, liz, is the nation's chief law enforcement officer. he doesn't seem bothered by the fact that there are illegal drugs floating around his white house, and nobody in his administration or democrats on capitol hill seem bothered by this either. this is completely outrageous. and it just is part of yet another compounding effect driving joe biden's poll numbers down. elizabeth: got it. >> the corruption, the collapse of the economy, the collapse of leadership and now cocaine. elizabeth: monica, thank you so much. we'll have you back on again soon. americans are outraged over this, canada's justin trudeau and his administration cannot stop canadian wildfire smoke again hitting the u.s. amid a record heat wave. also we've got dr. marty makary

no. i'm going to get a second opinion. with innovation refunds, there's no upfront cost to find out. so why not check like i did for my small business? take the first step to see if your small business qualifies for the erc. elizabeth: okay, joining us now, dr. marty makary. we've got to talk to you about this first, "the new york times" now reports what you and sign deaths were saying all along, that the u.s. did overstate and, quote, exaggerated covid deaths by 30%? but after they relentlessly and hysterically called any debate about that a conspiracy theory? >> it's interesting, "the new york times" basically is putting a tiny footnote at the end of their entire three and a half years of pandemic coverage, and they're basically saying, yes, we never had accurate numbers on covid deaths or even cases. and so that's a big deal because our compass was broken, and when people broke into arguments, those arguments over the
5:42 pm
pandemic and the risk to individuals could have been answered with accurate data. we never had the accurate data. elizabeth: yeah. we were in a fog, and it was an hysterical fog, you know, that people -- you know, with shutdowns. we should never have done any of that. we missing handled it. it's basically an abject lesson, a textbook case of how noted to do it again. eli lilly's alzheimer's drug slowed cognitive and functional decline, people with early stages of the disease, can you break this down? they're hoping for fda approval later this year. >> that's right. and we previously have talked about the other alzheimer's drugs including one two weeks ago that got fda approval. this is different. this is a different drug. this is by lilly, the results were announced just yesterday x they were incredibly impressive, reducing the progression of alzheimer's by 40-60%. it was higher in those that have the gene associate with
5:43 pm
alzheimer's, and it was a difference, a significant slowing seen in both men and women. he chem by was only noted to be significant in men. so the theory that if we create antibodies to the plaques, will that actually help people with their symptoms, that is being proven with all these studies, and it's showing that there is a direct connection there. elizabeth: so eli lilly's drug is as effective for women as it is for men, but we talked about how biogen's leqembi drug is less effective for women. talk to us about the fda forcing black box warnings about side effects on these drugs. >> well, there is a black box warning on leqembi, there should be one based on the data we with got yesterday on lilly's new drug. it's not that attractive, 24% rate of brain we i deem ma or swelling, a 31% risk of
5:44 pm
blaine -- brain bleeding. these are not catastrophic or life-threatening bleeds, but a good number of people come off the drug because they cannot tolerate the adverse effects -- events. that's something people are going to have to weigh when they look at the potential benefits and the cost of the drug. elizabeth: what's the cost of the eli lilly drug, do we know? >> it's estimated to come out roughly in the same ballpark as lo lo chem -- leqembi, ab $26,000 per year. it is given about every two weeks as an iv infusion. elizabeth: got it. dr. makary,, really exciting stuff and optimism and e hope for millions of families nationwide. thank you, doctor. we've got this story, is the media finally picking up on allegations of biden family corruption during the obama white house and after? plus, americans outraged canadian wildfire smoke again hits the u.s. amid a heat wave. the trudeau government failing dramatically here. it's on "the evening edit" next. let's check in with our pals dagen and sean and see what

elizabeth: look who's back with us, "newsweek" opinion editor batya ungar-sargon. the reaction is pouring in, you're going to see canadian prime minister justin trudeau get heavily booed while giving opening remarks at the north american indigenous games. let's take a listen. [background sounds] >> [inaudible] [background sounds] >> boo! elizabeth: that's brutal. liberal canadians booing a liberal leader in what do you think? >> you know, justin trudeau is the face of liberal
5:50 pm
authoritarianism. his handling of the covid pandemic, his handling of the truckers' convoy, this massive, peaceful protest against covid authoritarianism and overreach was just absolutely atrocious. he puts on this nice face and acts like this big liberal who cares about civil rights, cares about human rights, flies around the country in a private if jet lecturing everybody about climate change and about human rights if then back home he freezes people's bank accounts, steals their money, imprisons political prisoners. i mean, this is bad stuff, liz, and i think the canadian people are getting wise the it. elizabeth: well, the u.s. is getting wise to fit. his government is being criticized for not doing enough to stop wildfires in canada. we've got the biggest smoke plume yet all the way down into alabama. we have code orange warnings for 100 million to stay indoors. blanketed in smoke.
5:51 pm
>> yeah. i mean, the absolute hi hypocrisy here, this is what liberal authoritarianism looks like, right? if they can't use an issue to call their political opponents fascists and racists, they won't do anything about it. if it's not in their interests, if they can't get power from smearing somebody over an issue, forget about it, they won't do anything about it. elizabeth: but trudeau 's blaming climate change when his own government underfunded management, did not conduct prevent ty measures to manage canada's dense forest like brush removal, didn't do small, controlled burns. they're a failure the there. >> yeah. liz, you've been on that from day one. you've been calling out their failures which could have helped so much. but even here you're seeing ao to c and president biden start to use this as an excuse for more climate extremism, for more government spending and more authoritarianism on this issue, taking more control back from the people in order to push these unpopular, extremist policies. elizabeth: but, you know,
5:52 pm
they're letting the fires burn unless they approach populated areas. we know that canada practically every year has wildfires, it's just that they didn't do it properly to control the burn because -- in expectations of that. we've got wind in the upper atmosphere shifting and moving the smoke down to the u.s., and it's really hurting americans' health. >> definitely. and also two firefighters were killed trying to stop this in canada, an absolutely, absolutely or horrifying, very, very tragic situation there. elizabeth: we've got this story too, house speaker mccarthy, he backs the trillion trees campaign, more trees lead to more co2 removed from the atmosphere and the generation of more oxygen. that sounds like common sense. >> it's a great idea with. we know that governor desantis in florida has enacted a number of common sensical approaches. there's no political divide over protecting the health of our
5:53 pm
country, the health of our environment. everybody wants the country to be healthy, to do common sensical mitigation of climate change. that's not what the left or biden wants. what they want is more power and extremism. elizabeth: batya ungar-sargon, stay with us. is the media finally picking up on biden family corruption scandals? more on story coming up on "the evening edit." ♪ ♪ ♪ the biggest ideas inspire new ones. 30 years ago, state street created an etf that inspired the world to invest differently. it still does. what can you do with spy? ♪ ♪

elizabeth: bring back "newsweek" opinion ed editor batya ungar-sargon. will the media pick up on the house hearing and cover the house hearings featuring irs whistleblower asks and how the doj, they said the doj, fbi and irs politically interfered and obstructed into the biden family corruption scandals? what do you think? >> i mean, if the past is anything to judge by, no, they won't. i don't see how they can keep ignoring this. to your credit of course, liz, you have been on this from day one, never letting it out of your sight. i have to say looking at this story, you know, you would think that the bidens and the liberal media and the fbi and the doj would have worked a little bit harder to at least give the appearance of objectivity and fairness. and it leads me to believe that there's a part of them that actually doesn't want the hide this. they want the american people to know that if you are close to president biden, you're going to get off. if your close to him, all the
5:58 pm
institutions are going to work to protect you. it's such a horrible thought, but i can't see any other explanation for how blatant all of this has become. elizabeth: you know, it brings to mind what you just said what biden once said, don't mess with a biden. he said it another way, but we are g-rated here. [laughter] you know what's interesting, biden keeps denying he knew anything about hunter 's deals overseas with u.s. adversaries like china and russia. when he let hunter fly on air force two as biden's -- obama's vice president. house lawmakers say the biden family doesn't manufacture anything, doesn't make anything, they just sell influence, you know? >> yeah, absolutely. but it also in a larger way really puts the lie to so many of the policies that president biden himself pushed. he had the crime bill that he pushed, right? for people, you know, illegal guns. all those people who had illegal guns, they should go to jail,
5:59 pm
but his son, he should get off scot-free. he walks around saying when are the billionaires and the millionaires going to pay their fair share? his son got away with tax evasion, right? it puts the lie to everything he claims to stand by, and this cocaine investigation is just the cherry on top. they did five minutes of investigating, and they want the american people to believe that they couldn't figure out who was behind that cocaine? it's is so insulting that you have to believe that's the, that's the aim, that's the goal, is for you to know don't mess with them. elizabeth: there's also this, the fbi whistleblower allegations that joe and hunter biden were involved with bribery with a burisma official. what do you make of that? >> i mean -- [laughter] look, you know, when there's so much evidence stacked against them, it becomes very hard to defend this anymore which is, of course, why what you started with, the media won't cover it. how can you even defend this behavior anymore? so instead they just make it that boo to talk about it so -- taboo to talk about it because
6:00 pm
they can't tell the truth about it. elizabeth: what we've seen going through the government documents is this, and house oversight chair james comer is asking did the biden family properly pay their taxes. whenever there's infrastructure projects here or around the world,ing we've seen the biden family step forward like pilot fish to make money off of it. final word. >> i mean, you know, he -- the president, biden, looks like this nice old man, he talks like a person who's sort of on the side of the american people and then look at this story. it seems to suggest exactly the opposite. elizabeth: got it. bhatia up garre sargon, come back soon. i am elizabeth macdonald. thank you so much for watching "the evening edit" on fox business. we had a yam-packed hour. we're -- jam-packedded hour. we're going to stay on those irs whistleblower hearings tomorrow night. now it's time for dagen and sean on "the bottom line." dagen: thank you so much, e-mac. elizabeth: good to see you. ♪ ♪
