30 years ago, state street created an etf that inspired the world to invest differently. it still does. what can you do with spy? ♪ ♪ larry: i'll say again, i think republicans have more work to do to make the sale against bidenomics. i don't think they're there yet, and i don't think they got there in the debate last night. anyway, we have more work to do and listen to what liz macdonald has to say. elizabeth: i agreed with you, larry.

where's the hard punches and we'll stay on the themes and monitor the news coming in and president trump will be arrested in georgia at 7:30 p.m. eastern time and this new push back house judiciary will probe the fulton county da as what she's doing as a political attack and did she coordinate with the special council. this fuzz coming in and -- news coming in on the voter council and who won the gop debate and who has the agenda and vision to fix the u.s. and win. nancy pelosi make as false claim about bidenomics and this is getting way too closey. breaking news, why did a u.s. prosecutor on the hunter biden case reportedly e-mail joe biden at biden's fake e-mail address? which gop candidate do you think is best suited to take on putin? trump dealt with putin and it's coming on after wagner group chief prigozhin was assassinated after rebelling against the

russian president. i'm liz macdonald and "the evening edit" starts right now. elizabeth: okay, let's get right at it. we have former deputy assistant attorney john yu and former assistant attorney andorra mccarthy. andrew mccar they felt president trump says he'll be arrested in georgia over the 2020 election case and denied wrong doing and replacing the lawyer and a federal judge saying no to mark meadows and jeffrey clark moving cases to federal court. john, wrap this up, what do you think of all this? >> well, we'll see a mug shot of former president for the first time. i think that's going to bring home to a lot of people we've crossed a rubicon here and verne a allowed the prosecution of a former president by federal prosecutor or state prosecutor. before we see that mug shot, might have been abstract for people. now, we have to come to grip withs it.

second, what's going on in georgia is a serious threat to the presidency and to the federal government, which is why congress can conduct oversight herings into it. hear -- hearings into it. here is a prosecutor saying the trump reelection campaign itself is a criminal enterprise. dozens of acts committed by anybody in the campaign are part of the crime when the organization itself is created and its purpose is to run for reelection. to elect someone to federal office, something protected by the free speech cause and the core of the first amendment. that's not to excuse anything that donald trump did on januar. if people want to hold him accountable for that, then charge him with insurrection. charge him with sackmary diggs. don't -- sedition but not white collar fraud and white collar obstruction of investigations and pretending a reelection campaign is something kin to the mafia or drug cartel. elizabeth: yeah, insurrection and sedition is not in the indictment to what john is saying, andrew, and the correct,

you know, procedure here was impeachment. he was impeached over this. andrew, what do you make of house judiciaries with protesters stepping up at the fulton county jail and the house judiciary sent a letter of probe and fulton county da about whether her office coordinated with the justice department special council jack smith and whether her case is politically motivated. what do you think of that, an drew? >> i agree -- andrew? >> i agree with john and i would say i prosecuted -- i'm one of the few prosecutors that did a seditious conspiracy case and mafia cases on rico and this indictment, this is not a rico and these charges of particularly of solicitation are bright line as john just eluded to in federal law is violence. there's no first amendment protection to violence, which is

why if they had the goods on trump in connection with something like seditious conspiracy, that case would make zens sense. if that's not your bright line and in georgia, they say solicitation of any felony even a nonviolent felony is actionable under their interpretation of solicitation. that invites them basically to do what they've done, which is criminalize not only their political enemies but actually criminalize the office of the president or the presidential campaign if they what they chose to do. clearly a congressional committee has to be able to look into this because there's a federal threat here. elizabeth: yeah, there's a federal threat. john, you're agreeing. i mean, jim jordan saying just four days before this indictment, we reported this too on camera, da willis launched a new campaign fundraising website that heat lighted -- highlighted her investigation into president trump and that feels political and there's this information

coming in that jordan is citing a fulton county court that disqualified da willis from argumenting the current -- targets the current georgia lieutenant governor as part of his probe on the grounds that willis actively supported his rival, his democrat rival and did fundraising for him. >> this is why we never prosecuted a former president before. we've maybe only once in history prosecuted someone running for president from one of the major parties. there are about 2,000 elected prosecutors in this country. imagine what's going to happen if the fanny willis precedent is allowed to go forward. you could cripple the presidency if the president spends all this time worrying about being prosecuted in this town and were that town and country and it's not for hunter biden, joe biden they can become the subject of investigation from a red state da and this is why our system is having common sense that we were

not going to use the criminal law to fight our political battles to try and interfere we elections or even try to get after presidents we didn't like in the past. we left that all up to elections and politics. once we go to criminal justice system, anybody will use the tools and can really what worries me most is paralyze presidents in charge of the national security and carrying out the laws. elizabeth: what john just said, andrew, where does the case go? to the supreme court in fall apart? rico is a heavy charge. where is it going? >> i see it falling apart and at least getting significantly paired down. the rico is nonsense and innovation with rico is that instead of like focusing on all the different crimes say a mafia family commits, you focus on the enterprise, which is trying to sustain -- this is this entity you try to sustain because it earns money and creates power for itself.

this was not a rico and these were 19 people that had a single objective to get trump retained in office and it was going to be over on january 20th where they succeeded or failed. elizabeth: john yoo, andrew mccarthy, thank you, gentlemen, for helping us out tonight and for your insights here. great legal perspective and we'll stay on the story. thank you and we'll have you back on we hope soon. welcome back to the show, media chair and editor steve forbes. steve, good to see you again. >> good to be with you. thank you. elizabeth: what did you think of the debate and who won? >> i like vivek in terms of what he said about the federal reserve, huge issue. on foreign poll sixer i give him an f. nikki hill lay came across -- haley came across well especially on policy and it gave them a chance to emerge an thei. donald trump would have you can sehavesucked the oxygen out of e room like normal. it's just beginning. elizabeth: it's not the end game. it was just at the start.

now we've got a nancy pelosi stepping in and criticizing the republicans at the debate. she claims democrats created more than 13 million jobs and are growing the middle class. that's nancy pelosi. what do you think? >> it's the whole bidenomics thing. you shut down the economy, covid, big mistake. then when the economy begins to come back, you open things up, things start getting back to narrow angle mall and say, oh, the great work we're doing. it's like sinking a ship and bringing the ship out of the water. no, you didn't build that ship. you sank it and now you're trying to rebuild, refloat the thing. elizabeth: right. >> stop it. bidenomics is all false. the economy has real head winds and people know there are real troubles out there. consumer spending is now focusing on essentials rather than a lot of things and that's why there's higher income people going to wal-mart, they want to get more for their dollars in this environment. elizabeth: nancy pelosi told the trump indictments exquisite, beautiful and intricate.

this is the state of the u.s. today. we -- many voters don't understand. we used to have bipartisanship and didn't have such blood feuds going on and where the democrats have brought it. >> there was a great novel called 1984 and one thing of the authoritarians did was utterly pre-vert the language, war is peace and freedom is slavery and that kind of thing. that's what they're doing here. beautiful indictments? no, it's a real broadside against the constitutional system in the united states of america. as the two former prosecutors brought out in your previous segment, there are 2,000 prosecutors in this country. and they will be retribution and this has to be stopped. it's a junk indictment in georgia, junk indictment in new york. the whole thing on documents is a civil case at most. elizabeth: what we saw in the debates too were three things that popped out. it's bidenomics, it's crime, and it's the border. that's what the -- see in pugh

and gallop and the polls across the board and voters care about that. we want to show you the democrat mayor of madison wisconsin and saying now u.s. cities are terrific and they're improving and see ron desantis on this. watch this. >> i would suggest that anybody thinks that this country is in decline, come to cities because democratic mayors all across the nation are creating great places where people want to be, where growth is happening, and where our economy is growing. >> so here's the thing, these hollowed out cities, this is the symptom of america's decline. one of the biggest reasons is because you have george soros funding the radical left wing district attorneys and they get into office and tay say they're not going to prosecute crimes. they disagree with the inmates and start running the asylum. two of the district attorneys in florida elected with soros funding saying they wouldn't do their job, i removed nem trust

worthy their post. they are gone. removed them from their post. they're gone. elizabeth: what do you think of the democrat mayor of madison and her remarks just there? what do you think? >> it's an urban version of bidenomics saying the opposite of what the reality s. the economy is great. cities are great. let's go to san francisco, real paradise of urban beauty today. go downtown, all the homelessness. you go around these democratic-ruled cities and crime, homelessness, lousy schools and people leaving and businesses leaving and they say it's paradise? voters reject in 2024. it was gop audience for governor desantis. by the way he came across and just needs to smile a bit more and tout more what he did in florida. but the idea that these cities are great is so propost-roush and people wonder what -- preposterous and wonder what planet they're on and treat us like dopes that can't observe what's right in front of us for crying out loud. elizabeth: that's right, steve forbes. we'll have you on soon.

it shows across the board. dollar tree, nordstrom, what they're reporting in the earnings about retail left. we're staying on the story for you. coming up, congressman carlos gimenez and john levine and ron batello and which gop candidate best suited to sit across the table from putin? trump already took him on. wagner group had prigozhin believed assassinated and rebelled against putin and this story, hunter biden took more than two dozen trips overseas with secret service protection and biden was vice president and why did a u.s. prosecutor in the delaware office e-mail joe biden at joe biden's fake e-mail address? this prosecutor is on the hunter biden case. it's coming up on "the evening edit". ♪

elizabeth: back with us now, our voter debate panel, they were with us last night and we have owner of car dealership, employs 500 people and pet pedro -- pedro immigrant of venezuela. first to you, brian, who won the gop debates last night in

>> donald trump. elizabeth: why in >> donald trump won by not being there. i thought the republicans did a pretty good job tearing one another apart and that was a shame the other day. they violated reagan's eleventh commandment, thou shall not speak ill of other republicans. they missed a great opportunity to take some shots at the administration. the current administration and showing the differences. there were highlights and i thought nikki haley did very well. i thought chris christie did very powerly and overall i think president trump proved it was a wise decision by not being there last night. elizabeth: that's interesting. pedro, what do you think? >> i think it was a close call, but we saw who were the leaders and who were not the leaders in the republican party. i only saw leadership when it came to -- between vivek, governor desantis and senator tim scott. they resinated with all

americans. at end of the day, all americans are voting and brought up issues, new issues and didn't arkansas didn't sound like the typical career politician broken record, political narrative. but to add onto the previous point, them bashing trump creates more division in the country than it creates unity and more division in the party than unity. this debate should have been about offering viable solutions and questions and not dodging the questions. our goal is to beat the democrats and unify as a party and beat the democrats. elizabeth: to what pedro just said, brian, we'll take a listen to what happened last night, vivek ramaswamy says the republicans must talk about its own vision to revive the u.s. economy, bring back accountability in government. what's growth index going -- going on really to many voters concerning and upsetting.

and it can't be he's saying can't be just attacking biden and bidenomics. has to be forward looking with their own agenda and vision. watch what happened. watch this. >> our country is in decline. this decline is not inevitable, it's a choice. we need to send joe biden back to his basement and reverse american decline. >> joe biden's bidenomics has led to the loss of $10,000 of spending power for the average family. when you see 16% induration, your gas is up 40%, your food is up 20%, your electricity is up 20%. we can stop that by turning the spigot off in washington. >> the truth is that biden didn't do this to us, our republican it is this to us too. when they pass that had $2.2 trillion covid stimulus bill. they need to stop the spending, stop the borrowing. >> unlock american energy, drill, frack, burn coal, embrace

nuclear. elizabeth: what do you think, brian? >> you know, i don't think you saw leadership this. what i did like, and i think we may have a -- mr. ramaswamy may well be a great vice president for president trump, i think he's -- he was smart to align himself with policies that work, policies that raised the average income of amer americans and therefore brought all people to the party. african, american, hispanic entrepreneurship was never higher than when president trump was president. the same with female entrepreneurship and that brought some real groups into the economy, and i think that ramaswamy can align himself with trump and those policies, that could be a very potent combination. you've got youth and charisma and you've got the experience of dis and i think that could be the hot setup. that's what i got out of last night. elizabeth: ideas, left side, policy, opt any of them looking

forward. you know, pedro, mortgage demand plummeting to the lowest level since 1995 and rates surging towards 8% and we don't know if the fed is one and done and maybe sit on rates with another quarter point hike, but it's coming as they're on a vicious cycle of battling inflation and the government continues to plow trillions into the economy. all the monthly jobs data, the jobless data coming in, and job growth data since january is continuously revised lower pedro and now all the housing data revised down too. it's happening now so americans feel it, pedro. they see the data and want the vision and fixes. what do you think, pedro? >> correct. we need to hear more valuable solutions for our economy. gen zers like myself are graduating college with the hopes of finding a job and living the american dream and raising a family in the safe

community and economically sound community and have opportunity. especially the minority community. and that is something donald trump shed light on and previous speak service connected right that is -- speaker is right and that is what president trump was able to accomplish in the four years he was running and yesterday we saw some candidates that resinate with tram and able to shed further light on the issue and bring up viable solutions that gen zers like myself and young americans, young voters can resinate with. those were the issues of importance for us. elizabeth: got it. pedro and brian, thank you for joining us. good to have you on. we're taking on the debate they took on last night about education versus indoctrination. the candidates went hard at what's going on in schools across america. and which candidate is best suited to sit across the table from putin? trump's dealt with reporter: we've got wagner group head prigozhin believed assassinated and he had rebelled

elizabeth: top issue for 2024 voters and schools and wrong agenda and talked to our children and gop and lydia hu has more. candidates agreed the education in america. >> former un ambassador nikki haley calling for a return to thte basics. >> if they can't read by thirdif grade, they're fouififr times ls

likely to graduate high school. we immediate reading remediation. >> haley pledged support for school choice and an issue that the former vice president mike bence addressed and said he'd give school choice to every family in america if he were elected president and south carolina senator tim scott had tough words for the nation's teacher's unions. listen to this. >> only way we change education in this nation is to break the backs of the teacher's unions. they are standing in the door house of our kids locking them into failing schools. >> several candidates pledged to eliminate the department of education, that came from florida governor ron desantis, vivek ramaswamy, and north dakota governor doug burgum and the question now, liz, is whether any of these positions will distinguish the candidates from the very large pack. elizabeth: interesting, lydia hu, thank you and good to see

you. fairfax county, virginia, father of single digits terry shilling and he pulled off of his children out of public schools and what was your reaction to the debates and the candidates on schools and teacher's unions? >> liz, thank you for having me and bring attention to this issue. you can't talk about education and fixing the system enough in this country, and i'm glad it's finally getting a lot more attention than it has in the past. we have serious crisis and i looked this up before the show today, only 29% of eighth graders can read proficiently in this country. you know, i've been quoting fourth graders. only 32% of them can read at grade level and 29%, liz. that's less than a third of american children that can read at grade level and absolutely terrible. what i want to say it that tim scott is exactly right. the teacher's unions are destroying this country and the education system. a lot of people don't realize the teacher's union spend

$192 million a year in advocacy and pr but on top of that 50% of their membership is administration staff. ie bureaucracy and needs fixed and rooted at the federal level. elizabeth: interesting stuff. terry, get your reaction to what was said last night. >> the decline in ex-is one of the major reasons why our country is in decline. we need education in this country, not indoctrination in this country. >> let's shut down the head of the snake, the department of education. take that $80 billion and put it in the hands of parents across this country. this is the civil rights issue of our time. allow any parent to choose where they send their kids to school. end the teacher's unions at local levels to allow public schools to compete and revive our national identity. >> we need transparency in the classroom because parents should never have to wonder what's being said or taught to their children in the classroom. parents need to be deciding which schools their kids go to because they know best. elizabeth: you know, interestingly they talked a lot

about school choice; right? ramaswamy also brought up fatherless children that single women are raising children and, you know, there's an epidemic of fatherlessness, terry. you see these debates and healthy debates in the republican party. do you see them in the democrat party? >> no, no, in fact the democrats demonize masculinity and they actually have created programs and been implementing them since the 70s that incentivize fatherless homes and they pay you more if the dads not involved. that's an insane system, and it's partly why we're here. listen, i love those position, i wish you could combine them all into one candidate and donald trump has a robust plan and it's beautiful. our problems are rooted at the federal government. the federal government is using federal dollars to push antiscientific views on gender and sex, and pushing our own government, i just want to clarify, our own government at the federal level is teaching kids that our government is evil. that our country is evil.

that is a recipe for disaster and destruction in this country. it needs to be stopped at the federal level. it has to be solved at the national level and no other way around this. elizabeth: got it. terry shilling, great to have you on and hope to have you back soon. >> thanks, liz. elizabeth: this story, this is way too cozy. why did a u.s. prosecutor in the delaware office e-mail joe biden at joe biden's fake e-mail address? that u.s. prosecutor has been working on the hunter biden case. also, the more than two dozen trips hunter took overseas with secret service protection. it's coming up on the evening edit. ♪ ♪ “dirty deeds” by ac/dc ♪

milwaukee. who was the candidate that can sit across the table from putin because we've got reports that the wagner group head yevgeny prigozhin was on the plane that crashed in russia and assassinated due to a bomb reportedly. he rebelled against putin in june. what do you think? jot only one that ask sit across the table from putin is president trump. that's one of the reasons why i support the president, and i think he's the best suited to lead our country forward and that's a good example. prigozhin is not a good guy, these are two bad guys going after each other. you know, we now know what putin is. we've known what putin is, and the only one that can really sit across the stable from him and -- table from him and bring him down is i think president trump. elizabeth: we have gop candidate nikki haley and white house warn that had putin could have been involved. do you believe he's been involved in this alleged assassination? >> of course not, it's just

coincidence that the guy that tried to overthrow him or at least lead a little mini coup attack against him went down in a plane attack. bad, bad coincidence. elizabeth: i see the tongue and cheek. this other bad threat. china and russia now moving to expand their bricks alliance as an anti-western block. they're formally inviting saudi arabia and the uae to join. they're bringing in argentina, egypt and iran next year. they want to take on the west. this is happening as we speak. what do you think, congressman? >> what we need to do is right away open up our energy production here in the united states and let us become the dominant economic and enenergy superpower in the world. we have the capacity to do that, but this president won't do that. then we also have to exert our influence as much as possible around the world to make sure that it doesn't happen. this is all happening because we

project weakness at this point. china is projecting strength, so is russia, and so our former allies and some that are not so allied with us, are eager to jump at the chance to maybe join the new super power, which they think the super power on the rise, which is china. we need to stop this decline and reassert ourselves and we can do it as long as we have the right leader. right now we don't have the right leader. elizabeth: congressman, get your reaction to gop candidates last night at fox news debate on foreign policy. again, you were in the spin room, get your take on what was going on. watch this. >> i think this is disastrous that we are protecting against an invasion across somebody else's border when we should use those same military resources to prevent across the invasion of our own southern border here in the united states of america. we are driving russia further into china's hands. the russia china alliance is the single greatest threat we face. >> a win for russia is a win for

china. we have to know that. you crane is the first line of defense for us. >> anyone on stage who would not support the increase of more funding to ukraine? >> i would not support it. >> europe needs to step up. i would have europe step up and do their job. elizabeth: desantis saying europe needs to step up. only ramaswamy raised his hand. what was your reaction to all is that, congressman? >> i thought nikki haley had a good shot there and i think ramaswamy is a little naive in this. russia, if they win, china wins, and we also allow a murderous dictator to get away with basically annexing and taking over land that doesn't belong to him. can't allow that. i actually believe more what pence said also that the reagan doctrine says we will help those that are fighting our adversaries and russia is our adversary and we need to help ukraine. do they get a blank check?

no, they don't get a blank check. do our allies have to step up? yeah, our allies have to step up but to say no we're going to withdraw and help taiwan only as long as they produce chips and as soon as they produce early intervention program which is, we're out of there. chips that's we're out and that's not the right message. but you need to confront china. china and russia. china first, is the greatest existential threat that the united states faces today, and in the future. elizabeth: got it. congressman gimenez, thanks for joining us. have you back on, okay. good to see you. >> my pleasure. thank you. elizabeth: we've got south dakota governor is now joining 15 other states sending assets to the border, the governor there sending national guard troops. plus, okay, this is getting way too cozy, finding out a u.s. prosecutor on the hunter biden case had already e-mailed joe biden reportedly at his fake e-mail address.

elizabeth: okay, let's welcome back to the show new york post columnist john levine. john, this post out of the daily mail. we need you on the story this. is based on hunter biden's laptop e-mails and we have u.s. prosecutor alexander mackler that worked in the delaware office that's been investigating, prosecuting hunter biden and e-mailed then

vice president biden back in 2015 using joe biden's fake e-mail address. you see it right there. what's going on here? >> well, it's incredibly disturbing that one of the prosecutors investigate hunter biden turns out to be apparently a friend of the family and lends merci dance that the entire -- credence that the entire 6 year probe was rigged and he appeared to give away the farm with the plea deal before it fell apart with the whistle blowers and the federal judge. now we have a special council looking into it so that's good and i don't know that wise is necessarily the right person for that given all the issues that his office had over the years and this only being the latest. but certainly a real special council probe into hunter biden has the potential to uncover a lot of new information, and i'm going to -- my glass is going to be half full. i hope. elizabeth: you're being optimistic and mackler was a

campaign manager for beau biden in the state ag for delaware. there's a washington examiner saying so many people in the office, donated democrat parties. >> it's probably something for the house oversight or house judiciary committee to probe more and both chairmans of the committees expressed interest to getting to the bottom of who was joe biden e-mailing with the fake e-mail addresses and what was the need to have fake e-mail addresses and why -- he leveraged the federal government to provide the e-mail server, what was he doing here and that's all stuff yet to be seen. elizabeth: a number of people and the fight coming out with hillary clinton e-mail problem and a number of people with the white house using fake e-mail addresses and what would you be looking for with house oversight demanding the national archives turn over with a fake e-mail. >> why does the vice president of the united states have a cloak and daguerre mail address to do what? what business was he conducting and we can't say it enough he was involved in his son's

overseas business dealings despite the repeated denials. elizabeth: foreign oligarchs or whatever we don't know. >> he was giving him a heads up and that was reported and we don't know the extent of it. elizabeth: talking ukraine? >> yes, we don't know the extent and what more lies beneath. in the last six months, we learned so much we didn't know six monthsing a and i'm very excited. elizabeth: hunter biden flew overseas six times with secret service protection. we knew that -- look at countries and you'll see them there. judicial watch has been tracking the flights on air force two and don't know how many based on the documents and we understand that reporting out there and judicial watch saying it was hundreds of times more than what we're tracking here and hunter biden using secret service protection and he was a burisma board member and doing deals with china. >> how seemlessly he integrated

the federal government into his business ventures. i have to have a meeting with a business partner in hitly or ukraine -- italy or ukraine and i'll hop on the plane with dad. if it was a private sector, okay, but it's public and it's our plane, it our taxpayer money. in the pantheon of hunter biden scandals and alleged crimes, it doesn't get talked about a lot but a lot of taxpayer money was used to finance his business ventures whether flying on the plane with his father, the vice president or secret service protections in business meetings and he shouldn't be getting protection for and these are hundreds of thousands of dollar outlays and we have something that like a $30 trillion deficit. is this really a wise use of taxpayer money or ethical use? elizabeth: do you or i get that? >> i certainly do not. elizabeth: right. 411 separate domestic and international flights to 29 nations. >> when i go to a business meeting, i'm not flying on air force two. telling you that right now.

elizabeth: right. thank you so much, jon levine. acting ice director and south dakota director sending help to the boarder and governor sending national guard troops and gop candidates went hard on biden's border crisis last night. we take it on. ♪

elizabeth: joining us now, former acting i.c.e. director ron vitello. ron, it's good to have you on.

this border crisis is not letting up. it continues to get worse. governor kristi noem now deploying the national guard to the southern border by next week. this is biden's failure to protect our country. 15 republican governors have deployed personnel to the border now. where do we stand now the, ron? >> well, i'm grateful -- thanks for having me on. i'm grateful that these governors including kristi noem are sending boots on the ground to help with this problem. i worked on that problem for 34 years in government, the entirety of my adult life, and it's never been as a bad as we're seeing it today. even with the preparation, with some of the adjustments that the border patrol has made, they're still overwhelmed. the state of texas has spent billions of dollars to try to protect that border, and what these governors know is those people don't stay in eagle pass, they don't stay this in yuma, they go all over the country. and while they're being smuggled at will across that border, while they're giving up to the

border patrol, the human traffickers, the cartels in mexico having their way with the southwest border, and that danger exists not only to the men and women that are on that front line, but we are all at risk for this deadly fentanyl, for the human trafficking and for the criminal activity that's going to take place. and think about the burden on some of these communities. elizabeth: so we've got breaking news coming in. new york governor kathy hochul called out president biden to take executive action to direct more federal government help to new york city. and we see that action in chicago, we see it in los angeles and statements across the nation. -- states across the nation. now the mayors are waking up. governor abbott's strategy looked like it worked, send the migrants to these cities and do a wake-up call. do you think it's happening? >> well, she's calling the president for resources for new york. she should be calling the president to adjust the policy at the southwest border so we're not encouraging the entire third world to come across that border. every 24 hours they're seeing,

like, 5600 # people. that's because of the policies of this president, and i cannot overstate that it's never been this bad, and it's all due to the choices that the biden administration has made. they're -- they're getting cover from these leaders in new york and chicago because they have their hand out for resources. they're not asking him to address the policies at the border. that's not leadership, that's just whining, and they need to stop. chicago, l.a., new york, they're all doing the same thing, they have their hands out. elizabeth: you see it in the monmouth poll, emerson, gallup and i pew, this is the issue that is slamming biden's polls. voters don't like what's going on at the border. the wake-up call has been ringing off the hook for years now for this president to pick up, and he has not. let's listen to the republican candidates on this last night. watch. >> we didn't spend enough time talking about the challenge we have at our southern border. we didn't talk long enough about the challenge that we have with china. it's not the strength of china, it's the weakness of biden.

>> here's the thing -- [applause] the cartels are killing tens of thousands of our fellow citizens. you want to talk about a country in decline, you have the cartels controlling a lot of part of your southern border? we have to reestablish the rule of law, and we have to defend our people. so as president would i use force, would i treat them as a foreign terrorist organizations? you're darn right i would. elizabeth: your reaction, ron. >> well, i agree, they didn't spend enough time on that problem, because it is one of the biggest problems we've seen, and it's all due to the fecklessness of this administration. they made terrible choices because we don't -- the republicans don't control the senate, house to oversight isn't going to make this problem go away. we need another president, we need control of the senate so we can get this under control and finally give the resources to the men and women on the front line so they can do their jobs, give them the policies that worked in the previous administration because we are all at risk for this deadly fentanyl, for the human trafficking and the chaos that

occurs down there. and, again, it doesn't stay at the border. ooh these people are coming all over the united states, and we have big problems inside of these populations. we know the criminal element is controlling what goes on at the border, but they're also infiltrating the united states while the border patrol is working as hard as they can but are completely overwhelmed by the flow that they see today. elizabeth: president biden, is he going to be ready for the debates on this? >> he doesn't seem like he's ready for much of anything these days. he does not have a story that he can talk credibly about on this border. and it's because the media covers for him, academia covers for him, hollywood covers for him. they're all making this like it's not a problem. elizabeth: got it. ron vitello, thanks for joining us. i'm liz macdonald. thank you so much for watching "the evening edit" on fox business. now it is time for "the bottom line" with dagen and sean. take it away, you guys. dagen: thank you so much, e-mac. ♪ dagen: good evening, this fo
