demand defund the police. i'm elizabeth macdonald and the eventheevening edit starts tigh. liz: okay. the new york times reports u.s. attorney david wise that led the criminal probe into hunter biden for five years was about to drop all charges against hunter biden until irs whistle blowers testified about doj officials blockading and stone walling and interfering in order to help the biden family n and the president. fox news mike emmanuel live in dc with the story. mike. >> i liz, 32 page letter written by hunter biden's legal team at one point threatened to put president joe biden on the witness stand. the letter reviewed by politico from attorney chris clark warned prosecutors "president biden now unquestionably would be a fact witness for the defense in any criminal trial.
5:03 pm
trial". a broad plea deal was crafted and then it quickly collapsed and leading republicans continually insisting this isn't just about the president's son. >> look, this is obvious that joe biden becaused his powers as vice president for the sole purpose to protect his son, who was receiving millions and millions of dollars from this corrupt ukrainian energy company, and this e-mail ties joe biden and hunter biden into this corruption scheme without a shadow of a doubt. >> there's also the revelation that special council david wise once worked with president biden's late son beau. prom nathanial hackette democrats like to point to the fact hunter biden is under investigation and who first appointed wise? >> hunter biden is their case in point, even though the hound hunter biden prosecutor david wise is a trump appointed prosecutor. they've got this nonsensical argument. >> today, house republicans issued four new subpoenas to irs
5:04 pm
and justice department officials after those agencies refused to comply with requests for voluntary tribed interviews. liz. liz: mike emmanuel, great reporting. thank you very much. bring in cob gressional prosecutor simpson and thanks for giving us your expertise tonight and what's this report and should voters have any confidence now in this doj and special council and hunter biden. what do you think? >> i think the short answer is no, there's just too many questions about what he did, what happened when and you just need someone who is truly independent to look into these issues, address them and resolve all the outstanding questions. regardless of what the eventual answers are, it's just impossible for anyone to have confidence in the answers coming
5:05 pm
from someone. liz: so hunter's lawyers threatened to put president biden on the witness stand as they pressure to get that sweet heart deal letting hunter walk away scott free without any charges plus blanket immunity against future charges. i mean, how can any voter have faith in what is going on in dc? this is about protecting somebody who happens to be a member of the president's family. you know, these four irs officials that are two fbi -- two irs officials, cullly, house judiciary ways and means are subpoenaing they know them because these were the agents sitting at the meeting last october and david wise allegedly claimed i'm stopped from bring charges against hunter. i can't bring charges against hinter. this means they want to know who ordered him to stand down, who ordered from higher up, cullly? >> we don't know and nor has wise or attorney general garland testified under oath as to who
5:06 pm
or whether wise had the authority he needed because if we heard garland say he has all the authority he needed. we heard wise say in the meeting on october 7 with the two irs whistle blowers and other percipient witnesses he did not have the authority and was denied the authority. and it's very clear that when they testified under cotyledon as whistle blowers, that put a f gross-bullock raid. this is a relatively -- charade and this is a relatively easy slam dunk. he wasn't truthful on the gun allegations and this was an easy case and wise is clearly not up to the job. liz: how about hunter paying his fair share. sam, the push to let hunter walk away scott free end with blanket immunity and all fell apart when the two irs whistle blowers bravely testified that doj officials were politically stone walling and interfering to help joe and hunter biden. now the audacity of biden's
5:07 pm
lawyers demanding that the doj prosecute the whistle blowers. >> yeah, that just makes to sense to me. everything was done as far as anyone can tell completely by the book. they had a right to come forward with this information, they did it appropriately. it's just an extraordinary suggestion that they should somehow be prosecuted when they did everything appropriately, and i think it's also extraordinary coming on the heels of what are clearly targeted leaks by hunter biden's media team to paint the narrative. you know, we have out there right now in this new reporting is a narrative that they've generated, perhaps with the assistance of the department or officials there. perhaps now. we don't know that. liz: listen, if these doj and irs and fbi investigators on the stick to what sam just said, if they know in their heart of hearts what they're doing is wrong, and it's not right, they
5:08 pm
should recuse themselves. shouldn't they stand down? i mean, these fbi and irs investigators could unwound the biden family's international influence peddling scheme selling access to biden's government job. if they didn't stone wall and interfere, but now that hunter's lawyers are threatening the doj officials that have looked like they were caving to tram if they charge hunter, because trump was attacking hunter. see how incestuous it is between hunter's team and doj, and they need to recuse themselves. >> liz, is that to me because i lost the audio. liz: yeah, that's to you, cully. >> yeah, plays into and it's a basic fact there's clearly a duplicitous two-tiered system of justice. hunt herb was willing to plead guilty. he knows he was guilty. and i thought that his lawyers did exactly the thing that any aggressive criminal defense lawyer would do,&threaten the doj, threaten the prosecutor
5:09 pm
with calling all pre witnesses d that's what i would do if i was a defense attorney in this case and i was one time. this idea that the scales of justice are even and lady justice is blindfolded, it's playing out to show everybody that's paying attention that that's not the case. liz: yeah, this just -- this is really big time swamp behavior, sam. we have vice president biden so everybody is supposed to be okay that the obama white house, some officials including then vice president biden, he was using fake e-mail accounts to e-mail hunter biden information about his schedules including with ukrainian officials and potentially foreign officials, as hunter is trying to make money from foreign oligarchs and this same biden using fake e-mail accounts and same biden family using 20 shell companies to bury cash flows from overseas using burner phones but everything is legit. we're supposed to be okay with this. watch cnn host jake tapper here.
5:10 pm
watch this. >> tram was right. i mean, he -- trump was right and he made a fortune from china and joe biden was wrong. i don't know he was lying but might not have been told my hunter, but this behind spot is a problem. liz: final word, sam. what do you think? >> that's correct. the issue is even if biden is telling the truth, they didn't intend to make a deal, he should have known what was going on. he should have known and said, no, hunter, i'm not enabling this. he should have said no. liz: sam dewey and cully stimson, thank you for being on. president biden about to land in about a half hour in hawaii after he left his vacation in lake tahoe. he's reportedly renting the home of billionaire climate activist tom styer and frustrated
5:11 pm
residents blasing away over the mishandling of the catastrophic blaze. at least 114 dead, 850-1,000 still reportedly missing and the president could be met with protest. we'll be mono-storing the situation when he -- monitoring the situation when he lands. edward lawrence is live at the white house with more on this. edward. reporter: yeah, liz, the president will touch down and spend a number of hours in hawaii and back to vacation in lake tahoe, doesn't go back to the white house till saturday. the president while there in hawaii will talk with the governor of hawaii and thank first responders and meet survivors. now, aboard air force one, the deputy press secretary says the president is ready for the frustration of the people of hawaii over the federal response for the fires as well as possible delay in getting water to fight the fires. >> he knows these folks in the community have been through something devastating and traumatic. today he'll meet with the parents who have lost children and children who have lost parents and first respond oars
5:12 pm
who saved other's hopes while their own homes burnt to the ground. it's going to be an emotional day for everyone. reporter: so there's no official cause for the fire yet. some speculated it came from sparking power company equipment. now a prominent clean energy journalist said hawaii electric failed to clear brush around its power poles in the name of climate change and economists steve moore says the company might have put too much focus elsewhere. >> so what happened is they spent $250,000 on that and they spent tens of millions of dollars on solar panel and wind. in other words their attention was completely diverted from what was the priority, was making sure that these forest fires would be averted and the climate change to gnat -- phenactivists said worry about n energy.
5:13 pm
>> there may have been a delay in opening up resources and he reassigned a top water conservation official in hawaii, but in that notice he said no one should read into it the fact that official did nothing wrong according to the governor there. liz: yeah, all the back wardization and all the -- backwards and two or three steps back. hearing from fire fighters how bad it was on the ground. great reporting, edward. thank you so much. bring in former arkansas governor mike huckabee. greegreat to see you again, governor, what's your thoughts on the report and hawaii electric, the downs power lines are, you know, in focus here, what do you think, governor? >> most of wild fires happen because of human stupidity. you see it in the west where they worship trees rather than manage them. we've got a lot of forestland in arkansas. we rarely have the wild fires and the reason is because we understand to prevent a wild
5:14 pm
fire, you manage the forest roads, you don't leave deadwood all on the ground, which is just like a fuse from one group of trees to another. you can't contain it once it starts. it's human just stupidity that often is the reason that these are much works than they have to be. liz: that's right. governor, what do you think of this. do you think the white house is potentially teeing up and setting up for biden to declare a climate emergency because, you know, white house officials including john pau podesta all t week re-brabranded and switchede narrative on the inflation act and now it's a climate spending bill and politico and climate activists are begging the white house to declare a climate emergency. think he'll do it? >> probably and remember the words of john podesta during the obama years, never let a crisis go to waste. rom emmanuel was somebody who used to say that. here's the problem, if they don't have a crisis, they'll just create one because they
5:15 pm
need a crisis in order to control us. liz, what i really think we're beginning to see is this is not about controlling a problem, it's about controlling the population. this is about telling people what to do, how to do it, where to do it, when to do it and how well to do it. it's a matter of controlling americans and taking their basic fundfundamental liberties away. we saw it during covid and we come out of that saying, you know, this wasn't about managing the disease. it was about managing the population. and making us do what the government wanted. i think people are making up to that -- waking up to that, however. liz: governor, to your point the leaders in congress decided to combine disaster relief for maui with an extra $24 billion in funding for ukraine and that put lawmakers into a no win situation and lawmakers opposed more funding for ukraine would have to vote no on disaster relief for maui. that's controlling the lawmakers
5:16 pm
too. >> and it's also important to note that when biden announced the help for people in maui, $700 one time money. that'll barely pay the rent on one night in a hotel room at an expensive place like maui. it's not really going all out to see what can you do for those people who basically saw their friends and families incinerated by one of the worst fires, the worst fire in terms of fatalities in american history. this is a horrible thing. i'm glad biden is going to show up. i think he should have been there already, but at least he's going to go and see firsthand what has happened and that is a good thing. liz: got it. governor mike huckabee, thank you for joining us the only thing. good to see you. we've got news coming in about the far left progressive squad. they reportedly spend a lot of campaign donations on their own private security as they still push to defund the police.
5:17 pm
lee carter and liz peak, they're fired up and we have a new cbs poll, trump is employing bast the republican field -- blowing past the republican field by a huge 46 points and again, speculation growing that hillary clinton may run again. the clinton's just made a big move. we'll explain it next on "the evening edit". ♪ age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss and if you're taking a multi-vitamin alone, you may be missing a critical piece... preservision. preservision areds 2 contains the only clinically proven nutrient formula recommended by the national eye institute

5:21 pm
liz: back with us now is lee carter and fox news contributor liz peak. great to have you both on. lee, let's first start with you. growing speculation hillary clinton may run again. the clintons restarted clinton global initiative next month in new york city. they end that had seven yearsing a in 2016 when hillary launched presidential campaign. lee, what do you think? >> i can't imagine it's true, but there's an appetite among democrats that somebody other than joe biden run. 60% of americans want to see somebody other than joe biden run and hillary clinton can't help herself f. you look at polling back in february, they said she was a third most popular candidate behind biden and harris. i could see why she might want to, but i don't think that she has a shot. liz: what leigh just said, liz.
5:22 pm
the clinton global initiative and foundation considered incubators for potential white house workers and hillary white house run. think she'll run again, liz? what do you think? >> i don't think so, and the reason is jeffrey epstein, liz. i think the clintons are much more involved in jeffrey epstein or at least bill was than we know and that would come out in a campaign. the only person really pulling for hillary clinton to run again is hillary clinton. liz: so jeffrey epstein would hang her up? >> absolutely. i think so. liz: that would really hurt hillary if she tried again. the media increasingly worried about biden's crashing poll numbers. you know, how his numbers look more like hillary clinton in 2016 than biden in 2020. leigh, get your reaction to this. watch this. >> trump was right. he did make a fortune from china and joe biden was wrong. i don't know that he was lying about it. he might not have been told by hunter, but this blind spot is a
5:23 pm
problem. liz: that was the wrong sound. do we have -- play the sound later in the hit. you know, leigh, biden is in the 30th in quinnipiac and the other polls. >> yeah, it's as low as anyone in recent time, and it's certainly much lower than even donald trump was. i think the most troubling thing for joe biden is that when you look at certain issues like the economy, he's only polling about 65% with democrats. you think about that for a minute, donald trump never polled below 90% among his key supporters. when you're is that low among key supporters, could mean you don't have voter turnout and could mean someone has a third party or open to somebody else entirely and it's a really big problem that's understated at this moment, and i think democrats should really think about this carefully because in many cases, i think they're very thankful to see donald trump doing so well. i think joe biden can beat donald trump no matter what, with these kind of polling numbers, i don't think that's
5:24 pm
too . liz: got it. liz, there's bad housing market also. the worst affordability crisis ever according to the national association of realtors. fed initials may say they're going to keep rate hikes hire for longer when they meet at jackson hole. liz, looking at numbers coming in on, you know, what's going on in the housing markets. i mean, mortgage rates are more than doubles than they were under donald trump. listen to vo voters and their aerodynamic action to all this -- reaction to all this. watch this. >> he's too old and can't go another week about making a gaffe and embarrassing our country on the national stage. >> really do respect what biden has done and i really do think that he is what we needed in that time, but i can't help but feel like he's the safe option, and i particularly am tired of going for the safe option. >> joe biden is an embarrassment to the democrat party. liz: what do you think, liz?
5:25 pm
>> i think he is an embarrassment to the democrat party. but more importantly voters assess who are not they're bet eric off -- whether or not they were better off than under donald trump, they're going to decide whether spending $700 plus more per month for average household goods and spending more than 50% more per month for carrying a house, and increasingly has become unaffordable and all these things, liz, pile up. people are struggling. we have over $1 trillion in credit card debt now and the price of that credit card debt is way over 20%. i think we're going to see a slow down and that will be blamed rightly on joe biden. he needs to step out of the race but i have to tell you, right now i think the only viable candidate if he steps out late in the campaign is michelle obama, not hillary clinton. liz: got it. let's listen to the media. now we've got the media sound from this weekend. watch this. >> i think biden has basically got three issues where he's not figured out what to say. one is obviously the questions
5:26 pm
about hunter biden, his son, the other is what to say about the investigation into donald trump and the third is about his age. those are three massive issues that are sort of clouding his reelection campaign and he's not figured out what to say. stuff is taking a toll. his numbers like welcome hillary clinton in biden 206789 >> the polling indicates trump is in a stronger position at this point than he was during the entire 2020 campaign. if we had state level polling, i wouldn't be surprised if trump were ahead in the swing states that are most important, jim. liz: leigh, final word. >> i think that biden has to make his case on a number of fronts. number one, when you talk about hunter biden, more than half of americans think there's a real problem there. that's a 20% increase in the last four weeks. the economy, he's under water on the economy and that's number one most important issue to americans and most people question whether or not he's fit to run again. he's got a lot of messaging that he's got to do. liz: got t a live shot of the president and first lady landing in maui, hawaii.
5:27 pm
we'll stay on this story. leigh carter and liz peak, thank you for your insights tonight. we'll have you back on. >> thank you. liz: the president landed with the first lady in hawaii and staying on this story. also this, more and more public school boards and school districts in virginia openly defying their own governor glen youngkin and a major catholic school system made a big move for parental rights groups and the border wars, we've got texas and biden's justice department battling it out now in court and plus a new report that the biden white house is selling off border wall parts and that's going to undercut a new gop bill that backs a wall. it's on "the evening edit," next. ♪ (psst psst)

5:41 pm
that from their parents. till the governor stepped in, schools were allowing the child to direct this. that means if your child was using a different name, facility, locker room, sleeping quarters on overnight field trips, the parents were not told and had no right to know. the governor stepped in and said, nope, we're going to begin a parental notification policies. again, it's not anti anybody and has nothing to do with lgbt. just this issue of gender identity and this common practice across the country of withholding information from parents about their own children on this topic. liz: is it about schools taking that power away from parents? >> 100%. what it is is the only time we've ever seen where the student is put in the driver's seat and make all the decisions.

do you want them to know? can we tell them and are we allowed to use this different name? whatever the student says, they're the authority. what's strange is when the critics of this and those that are saying they're going to guy this and including superintendents and the child doesn't feel safe telling their parents and it's our -- we need to make them feel safe. there's the new default where as assuming the pans are the most -- parents are the most loving caregivers but it's the parents are harmful and dangerous. which then would lead us to ask well, based on that logic, how could you ever tell parents that a kid failed a test? how could you ever tell parents that a kid was being suspended for fighting? they tell parents everything except for this one thing that is very significant and often helps to explain to parents when things are going on with their

child something seems off. what they'll often say from after the fact is this was the missing piece of the puzzle. my child was using a different identity at school and nobody told us. liz: okay, this is amazing stuff and know there's possibly more problems in virginia. now we have this move by a major catholic school system. all catholic schools and the diocese of worster about 45 miles west of boston, saying students must act according to their biological sex including in school sports, uniforms, locker rooms. exceptions made for bathrooms on a limited case by case basis determined by the principal. this is what glen youngkin was trying to push for, giving parents the power to weigh in on this, what their child is doing inside schools as the children ggets influenced by outside forces out of the parent's power. >>-- parents power. >> i see this suicide a little
5:44 pm
different. as a little different and catholic school is a little different because you pay for it theoretically and if a parent didn't like that policy, they coulcould pull their child out d that's different from the public school system. the catholic school system in wooster is about a half hour from me, they're doing a lot of things that the virginia new policies are doing that you'd play sports based on biological sex. one issue that i probably wouldn't agree with in terms of the catholic school here is the uniform piece. seems to me that if you're a tomboy and prefer the pants over the skirt and i don't know whether they're allowing that or not, certainly when it comes to facilities where privacy is taint amount. liz: got it, erika sanzi, this story will stay with us through the fall and possibly the spring. thank you, good to have you on, erika. remember when president biden is

liz: well, look who's back from the fraternal order of police. he's joe gomaldi. joe, love having you back on. this story out of the new york post, democrat socialist alexandria ocasio-cortez and the far left squad spent more than $1.2 million out of their own campaign donations on their own private securities since taking office. they depend defund police? >> yes, liz, the defund de-vascularizeds are at it -- defund divas at it again. aoc, cori bush, represent sievee jayai. not enough resources for their family but at the same time they're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to protect themselves and their families these people are hip cats and making it clear they don't give a dam about you or your families and essentially don't give a dam

about their communities. liz: cori bush spending more than $375,000 on private security and $375,000 funneled to her own husband and aoc reportedly spent like more than a quarter of a million including for security upgrades at her district offices and everybody else is supposed to go without police and there's a cop shortage. >> yeah, you're exact reigns leading right. make sure our families are protected and the rest can fend for yourself while they continue to support the revolving door criminal justice system, and continually rewards repeat violent offenders and repeat offenders getting out over and over again and we're willing to sacrifice the quality of life and safety of the upstanding community members and instead we want to cater to these criminals who continue to make our lives a living hell. liz: now there's the cop shortages so bad and colorado, illinois, and california, they've got laws letting some

noncitizens become police officers in their states. what do you think? final word? >> let's be clear about something, if you're in this country illegally, you have no right to be a police officer, full stop. we cannot have people who are actively breaking the law then enforcing the law on the populous. it completely erodes the legitimacy our profession is built on. if we want more people to become a police officer, here's ideas, fund the police departments, give our cops better pay, and at the most support our police officers. show them what they do matter and they matter and stop treating them like crap, and we can get this back on track. liz: joe gamaldi, thank you so much and good to have you on. republican when president biden told john kerry and oil and gas workers to go learn code and did they leave these workers hanging? a few study shows exactly that and worse. that's next on "the evening edit". ♪

liz: welcome back. we now welcome to the show from the competitive enterprise institute, senior fellow myran ebell. what do you make out of this study from wake forest and pennsylvania. it says, they're saying that less than 1% of fossil fuel workers actually get transitioned into green energy jobs. didn't last week -- just last week president biden say i'm going to create billions of
5:57 pm
climate change jobs? didn't john kerry say go code, go do software? >> well, they make a lot of claims. there are no surprises in this study. it's actually much worse than the study says because it's not just people in the energy industry who produce most of the energy that we use, coal, oil, and natural gas going to lose their job ifs this so-called energy transition goes forward and we're going to raise energy prices and raise the cost of energy automobiles and that'll cause economic decline and people all across the economy will be like their jobs, not just in the coal mines and the oil steeds.
5:58 pm
liz: the ones getting the oil and gas are not getting the jobs and software development and marketers. they're the ones getting the jobs. >> a lot of jobs will be overseas because the so-called energy transition requires a lot of mining of metals, and we don't do much mining. there's a very strong anti-mining law albeit it's controlling the biden administration. so mines are blocked here and we have to go to china for the minerals and processing of the minerals and we'll create a lot of jobs in china and some in africa. liz: myran, nine nation ntsb european union are saying they're pushing back on the green energy transmission and stricter auto emission rules. nine are demanding they go slower, france, italy, check republic, poland, sweden, they're pushing back and don't want only electric cars. they're going to drill for oil
5:59 pm
and gas, and the uk is also drilling for oil and gas in the north sea. american press is touting how much the u.s. is investigating in green technology when the european union going in the other direction. >> yes, they've slowed down because the reality is starting to hit that the so-called energy transition is not a transition. it's raising prices, it's destroying industrial activity, it's putting people out of jobs, it's making people cold in the winter who can't afford to heat their houses. so reality is hitting there because their policies are more advanced than ours and so they're saying, hey, wait a minute. this isn't going to work. the more it goes -- the more they go forward, they haven't reversed course. they've just slowed down. at some point they'll have to reverse course because it's just not working. liz: it's wild. china is having a boom and bust in electric cars and bloomburg reporting u you know, ride hailing companies that own the electric cars, they fail. they're just ending up in dumbs in china.
