5:01 pm
story. good luck. elizabeth: it's getting politicized. thank you so much. just what larry was talking about, danger, democrat politics dragging down israel's battle the wipe out iranian-backed hamas terrorists. we've got this new report coming in it's not just axios, it's politico reporting state department official it is are pressuring the white house to to force israel into a ceasefire. and also this, senator mitch mcconnell gives a blistering rebuke to former president obama on all this. we've got it. and this white house's big gamble, it says don't believe the polls showing biden losing key democrat voter blocs and trailing trump in battleground statements. and voters in 37 states today take to the polls. we've got how this sets the stage for 2024. and former president trump demands a jury in his new york civil fraud trial. he calls the judge, quote, hostile. and the biden impeachment
5:02 pm
inquiry is readying for a vote, and anti-israel rage on college campuses. i'm elizabeth macdonald, "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ elizabeth: welcome to the show. thanks for tuning in. joining us now, retired u.s. army major general deign that petard -- dana petard, also with us 25-year navy veteran and former pentagon official brent sadler. gentlemen, thank you both for joining us now. general, first to you. what's your take on the war now? israel taking control of gaza city. hamas military strongholds as a well. but then we've got a leaked memo politico obtained that a state department staffers are criticizing the president for his pro-israel stance, pressuring the president to call
5:03 pm
for a ceasefire. is in this now getting bogged down into politics? >> well, i think the israeli defense forces are continuing with their mission, and they've got the support, obviously, of prime minister benjamin netanyahu to the continue operations -- to continue operations. the things that we're hearing as far as dissent from sate department employees or diplomats, that happens all the time. in fact, there is a dissenter kind of online where you can send things and not get in trouble, and i'm surprised that that was leaked. often times there are dip can lo mats in different places like in the middle east, they are a part of those countries in many ways, and they feel the sentiment, and they passes that sentiment on to the administration. so that's nothing really new. elizabeth: yeah, but this is not the time to go wobbly, right, general? because with iran's defense minister says the the u.s. will be hit hard if it doesn't secure
5:04 pm
a ceasefire in gaza. now's not the time to go wobbly. >> i agree now's not the time to leak a memo like that, that normally would not have been leaked. but the bottom line is the israeli defense forces are continuing their operations, and they need the support of the u.s. elizabeth: got it. brent, hamas says it will still attack israel even if there's a ceasefire. senator membership mcconnell momented that hamas already had a ceasefire that hamas broke on october 7. th. let's watch the former israeli prime minister bennett, and and you're going to see a palestinian leader refuse to condemn hamas' brutal terror attacks. watch this. >> imagine if america had, instead stead of mexico, had a state of al-qaeda with 240 american hostages including babies there and this al-qaeda state entered florida and raped women and murdered parents in front of their children and vice versa and burnt them.
5:05 pm
would anyone ask america to cease fire against this al-qaeda statesome. >> i'm sure you're concerned about that tax revenue -- >> let me, let me -- >> do you want to clear the air and condemn -- i understand there are deep root causes, but -- [inaudible conversations] it would just be a very quick answer. elizabeth: yeah, he wouldn't give it. he said, no, i'm not going to condemn it. what do you think, brent? is. >> oh, nothing is surprising in any of that. one, israel's military, thankfully, is continuing on with operations as the priority, and none of this politics and diplomacy is getting in the way of military operations. they've gotten to a tactical, sense call pause moment. and only at that time should it be entertained. hamas is on the back foot, and hay these to stay on that, and the objective is the utter destruction of hamas as a military or a terrorist organization in gaza and certainly not as a governing entity there. but if i could just go back to the your first question to the general, one troubling sentiment with such letters being leaked
5:06 pm
out, while dissent in being able to the securely convey dissent inside large organizations usually makes for a healthier one, we do know from the last administration that many such dissent turned into undermining president's policies and undermining elected officials' policies put in place by the american people. so there's a history at the state department that's also trouble thing that if matched with these dissent opinions actually materialize in action, we've got a real problem. elizabeth: yeah, so what brent just said. i mean, former president trump was undermined by leaks like this, general. and hamas is saying they will do october 7th again and again and again until israel is i knewlated. -- annihilated. the former prime minister, bennett, noted they already tried a two-state solution in 2005, gave the entire territory over to the palestinian authority, but they didn't build a free and independent state. more schools and hospitals. they and hamas spent the last 17 or years taking aim -- aid money
5:07 pm
to build and shoot rockets at it israel to croix israel, general. what do you say? >> there's no question, hamas has got to be the eliminated as a aist organization and being in charge of gaza. -- a terrorist organization. that's what the focus is. hamas is absolutely an existential threat to israel. as long as hamas exists, israel will always be threatened. so i agree with what's been said, that this must be taken as an existential threat. and not only hamas, but hezbollah needs to be careful in what they're doing. but the israelis need to remove hamas as a threat and as the governing body of gaza. elizabeth: got it. okay, brent, final word. >>, no i think it's very interesting that we watch very carefully how the politics here in d.c. impact or reverberate in israel and in gaza. what should not be allowed to happen is to allow those kind of domestic interests actually weigh in on military operations
5:08 pm
going forward successfully in gaza. elizabeth: got it. major general dana petard and brent sadler, thank you so much for your service to the our nation, gentlemen. let's welcome from house energy, we're bringing back to the show congresswoman kat cammack. it's good to see you. those bad polls for biden, again, a new cbs poll also says three-quarters of voters say things are going badly in america to today. that's up from 65% at the start of the year. i don't know if you saw this story, congresswoman, this is symbolic of white house tail your. an entire -- failure. an entire electric bus from google going up the hill in san francisco failed and lost power, it rolled backwards, crashed into nine cars. one person hospitalized. this is like a portrait this in miniature of what's wrong with this white house. >> yeah. you know, liz it's pretty crazy. bidenomics and the biden administration seem to be failing harder than a hunter biden drug test. that much is clear. not a whole lot seems to be
5:09 pm
going right whether it is the price of goods and services that americans are feeling the pinch at the pump, at the grocery store and elsewhere or if it's the horrific policies that are driving us further and further into national debt and putting people at risk including their personal safety as you just said. it's a failure all around. so it's kind of like hillary clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. [laughter] failure all around. elizabeth: congresswoman, but the white house and democrats, heir trying to blame -- they're trying to blame historically bad polls, new york times, cnn, a abc, cbs, gallup, the worst president in modern u.s. history since carter, they're claiming this is just a narrative problem. watch this. >> in the primaries, all of us concerned about biden's run in 2024 especially after the latest poll numbers. do you share those concerns? >> i don't. now, look, i think we should look at the poll, we've got to get into the data and figure if out how we need to improve our messaging, because i do think we have a messaging issue. elizabeth: just a messaging
5:10 pm
crisis? the president's losing entire blocs of democrat-voting bases, gen-z voters are flatlining with him. his lead among hispanic voters down to single digits. black voters moving away from him. you know, so this is just a messaging problem? [laughter] >> no, liz, this is far beyond a messaging problem. it's a problem with the policies. it is a problem with the pact that their policies make americans less secure, less safe and less prosperous. their messaging has nothing to do with the with the fact that the president's policies are i'd yachtic. it has -- can idiotic. it has everything to do with the fact that they are more concerned with a political agenda at all costs rather than putting americans first. so no wonder that he's losing in all these key demographics because the man's an idiot. elizabeth: oh, you threw some shade down there. [laughter] heard you loud and clear. you know, nbc news is reporting
5:11 pm
democrat strategists are saying pick a metaphor, that biden's 2024 campaign is a five-alarm fire, a cardiac case in need of a defibrillator. i mean, but the white house press secretary today said just ignore the polls, we've seen the polls, we should take the polling with a grain of salt. your response. >> listen, david can axle rod, who is one of the most respected democratic operatives, is even saying that biden shouldn't run. when you're the incouple twenty, when -- incumbent, president of the united states, you have all the name recognition in the9 world. and yet we are seeing polling from his primary challengers, from an independent now in rfk that is on a skyrocket upward trajectory. that is very, very dangerous for an incumbent president who should be experiencing some of the best numbers of his time in office, not the worst. elizabeth: yeah, the other thin- >> so it's bigger than just the messaging. elizabeth: they're talking about gavin newsom stepping in, but the l.a. times is reporting, a new l.a. times/uc-berkeley poll
5:12 pm
shows half of california voters say he's a failure so, wow, we're really many historic times. congressman kat cammack, we love breaking down these stories with you. you're terrific. it's good to see you again. >> have a good one. elizabeth: still ahead, congressman russell fry, former utah congressman jason chaffetz, "the new york post"'s jon levine and fox news legal editor terry kupec urban. virginia polls are closing in less than two hours. we've got election measures and ballot measures in three dozen states voting today. this is setting the stage for 2024. and more on what trump's legal team is saying about that judge in the billion dollar civil fraud trial in new york state. plus, senator mitch mcconnell really went after former president barack obama, and this shocking news: a jewish man dies after a physical altercation with at least one pro-palestinian protester outside los angeles. william la jeunesse is reporting on that story next. ♪
5:13 pm

with an aarp medicare supplement plan from unitedhealthcare. smart now, really smart later. elizabeth: okay, this news, a 699-year-old jewish man died after an altercation at counterprotests for israel and one for palestine outside los angeles. fox news' william la jeunesse, he's live many are l.a. with the story. the william. >> reporter: hey, liz. police are still trying to gather video evidence or surveillance evidence to show them exactly what happened, but it was sunday afternoon. you had dueling anti and pro-israeli demonstrators squared off on different corners of an intersection near los angeles. moments later, 69-year-old paul kessler was dead. >> investigate earth have not ruled out the possibility of a hate crime, and this is being investigated as a homicide. >> reporter: so the sheriff's department interviewed a
5:18 pm
50-year-old man and searched his home but head no arrest. witnesses say the suspect crossed the street and then hit kessler over the head with a megaphone, knock him to the ground. kessler died on monday at the hospital not from the megaphone strike the according to the autopsy, but the impact of his head on the sidewalk. now, at this point you've got, there's video of a palestinian man who suspects say was involved who's explaining things to a sheriff's deputy on exactly what occurred. how kessler was struck with the megaphone. some jewish supporters wanted to confront the larger palestinian group but elected not9 to. >> i turned around, i looked him square in the eyes. i said don't you [bleep] move. if you go over there, i'm going over there, it's not going to end well for anybody. >> reporter: so monday area jews

held a candlelight9 vigil. the los angeles jewish federation released a statement saying violence against our people has no place in a civilized society. we demand safety. we are not going to tolerate violence against our community, and ask we will do everything in our power to prevent it. so, liz, the question now is when will police make an arrest, and did they find any evidence at the suspect's home to support a hate crime. elizabeth: got it. william la jeunesse, thanks for bringing us the story. let's welcome from house oversight, congressman byron donalds. so you see that, congressman, what's going on here in the u.s. i want you to listen to this. senator mitch mcconnell, he really went after former president obama's latest remarks on israel. the former president drawing an equivalence, he was criticized for that, between israel and what hamas did and calling israel an, excuse me, gaza saw an occupation. watch this. >> president obama used the same
5:20 pm
breath to express his horror at both hamas' violence and a opposed israel occupation of gaza. in reality, the only force that's occupied gaza since 2007 is hamas. not israel. the former prime minister as -- president also said, quote, all of us are complicit to some degree. that's simply false. responsibility lies with the terrorists. last week an especially radical house democrat repeated to her fellow followers from the river to the sea. apparently, jews can live in peace with palestinians as long as they vacate israel. elizabeth: what do you say,
5:21 pm
congressman? >> i say paris and foremost that as a country, we will stand with israel, we must sand with israel. i think to what president obama said it was, frankly, out of line and wasn't realistic with what's happening in israel not just as we speak, but even before october 7th. and let's be very clear, this terror attack, this barbarism, this terror was brought by hamas and is hamas alone. it was unjustified. the parents and the children that live in kibbutz in southern israel did not do anything to the palestinian people. the kids who were at that music concert, they were not any part of holding back the palestinian people from being able to live free. and so for hamas, the political entity that control cans the gaza strip, to launch this heinous attack is wrong. there is no justification. there is no moral equivalency. they were completely wrong. it is evil, and everybody these to recognize that.
5:22 pm
to parse politics or the tie to justify your previous -- try to justify your previous political position on the palestinian issue is, to to me, abhorrent. it shows a lack of leadership, and it shows a lack of an ability to realize when you were wrong from a foreign policy perking spective and the necessary attitude to reverse course and do what's right not just for the israeli people, but for people around the globe. we cannot tolerate this kind of moral relativism that barack obama and others are trying to bring to this situation because there is no moral relativism. elizabeth: so there's a split deepening in the democrat party. more democrats cosigned a letter condemning congresswoman tlaib for repeating hamas' slogan to wipe out israel from the river to the sea and encouraging her supporters not to back the president. she says today people are trying to silence her. she faces two censure resolutions. is she condemning hamas enough for their brutal terrorism?
5:23 pm
is she saying hamas needs to go? >> no, she's not saying that. and let me be also clear about the censure resolution. rashida tlaib and any other member of congress, you're free to speak your mind. nobody's taking that away from if you. but when your words are in direct opposition to the will of the house and the move of the house and, frankly, the foreign policy objectives and and stated goals of the united states government, then, yeah, you open yourself up to censure. that's just the way it is. there's nothing else to say about it. elizabeth: got it. congressman donalds, thanks for joining us tonight. it's good to see you. >> thank you. elizabeth: next up, pox news legal editor -- fox news legal editor carrie kupec urban. she was insides the courtroom, she's going to give us her take on former president trump testifying in that $250 million new york civil fraud trial. plus later in the show we've got this, a hundred colleges, 1100 universities now -- 100 universities thousand signing a letter standing up for israel. ask and u-penn referred a

5:29 pm
carrie, it's good to see you. >> good to see you. elizabeth: so you were inside of the courtroom yesterday for former president trump's testimony in that quarter billion dollar civil fraud trial. what's your reaction? what do you really think about what's going on? >> if the i were to give you the headline out of yesterday, i would say the fix is in. the way they are applying the law against the former president and the way they have never applied the law to the the anyone else many new york state, our brain room found that, we have lawyers on that research team, they could not find a single instance of new york prosecuting and convicting someone for inflating real estate assets without a victim. that's what's happening here. the way the attorney general has been conducting herself is also highly unusual and inappropriate, even attending trial each day. a.q.s don't attend trials. they have a lot going on, and they're doing that on the taxpayers' dime. so for her to be setting aside everything she has to be doing to just sit there, smile and make statements to the press is
5:30 pm
just, social security to unusual, this whole thing -- it's so unusual. elizabeth: are you depressed by it? let we me back up, do you feel he's getting railroaded? >> i do. i really do. i felt badly for him. i thought he did a good job. i thought he was smart, i thought he was sharp. you really saw the business side of him come out, and the two points he came coming back to, if anything, i undervalued my property. and that's very trump-like, but i think there is something to be said for that given the fact that this court or, i'm sorry, the a.g.'s office found that mar-a-lago is valued at $18 million. that's laughable. anybody looking at mar-a-lago knows it's not 18 million. trump has said it's worth $1 billion. i don't know, maybe it's something in the middle, but it's it's certainly not $18 million. so he was angry many court telling the judge they haven't done their job. they don't know how to value properties, why did they not do this properly, and the second point was with each saint of financial condition, this is the thing you submit to the bank and
5:31 pm
this is where all the contention, right, this is where it lies. he said that there is a disclaimer on page 1, and it's throughout the entire statement that says this is our position, but you have to do your due diligence, you have to do your own analysis. and really if you don't, it's on you. and the banks took these statements and went forward with giving him the loan, and that was that. elizabeth: so, you know, it just feels like this is an understatement to say, they're using a novel interpretation of the consumer statute to try to take someone's entire financial empire, business away. this new york judge, he also gets to decide on his own whether trump should be hit with this quarter billion penalty and for fit all his properties. i mean -- forfeit all his properties. he's judge and jury on this, and trump is now demanding a jury. i mean, we're in the penalty phase, right? he already ruled in a partial summary judgment that, yeah, the asset values were inflated. but what's key is what the a.g. has been saying. let's get your reaction to this. >> the president of the united states has complained that i'm
5:32 pm
engaging in some sort of political witch hunt, that air got some personal vendetta existence him, that i campaigned against him. that is not true. i look forward to going into the office of attorney general every day suing him, defending your rights and then going home. i'm going to be a real pain in the [bleep] we will rise up together, and we will reist this president. resist this president. ultimately, we'll bring him down! hey, hey, ho, ho, president trump has got to go! elizabeth: okay. what do you say to that? >> we will rise up together, that gives me a lot of faith had the justice system. i mean, this is the chief law enforcement officer for the state of new york. she is supposed to be at a minimum putting forth a semblance of neutrality. they take oaths to uphold the law, to mutually apply the law in an evenhanded fashion without regard to the partisan situations, and that is the opposite of what is happening here.
5:33 pm
elizabeth: do you think it'll go to the supreme court? >> i think they'll appeal it to the new york appellate courts. the problem is in new york judges are elected, and they're all democrats. and i say the problem is in order for a democrat, one of these judges to side with the former president, they would have to break rank. that's a hard thing to do in this culture and this society, and so i'm very concerned about the president. at the enof the day what's on the line is his ability -- and his children's ability -- to make a living in the state of new york. elizabeth: you're so smart. come back soon. that was very good analysis. so smart. legal ed editor for fox news. this coming up, special counsel david weiss investigating hunter biden, he testified at house judiciary. we've got the action on that and the house impeachment inquiry. former utah congressman jason chaffetz, he's ready to go. we've got education secretary cardona today threatened to pull federal funding from any college that traffics in hate on campus including against jews.

just rife for an explosive election. and these are important elections particularly there in loudoun county. elizabeth: got it. you know, this story coming in, news breaking late mt. day, jason, let's get your reaction to this. now the white house is reacting, education secretary cardona implied and said today colleges could lose federal funding over hate on campuses including against j everything ws. watch this. -- jews. >> withholding federal dollars is in our toolbox. that wouldn't be the first thing that i would do. i would want to provide support for these universities, provide guidance, and, and if there are egregious acts, i want to investigate them. ultimately, if we have to withhold dollars for a campus refusing to comply, we would. elizabeth: your reaction? >> look, i don't even believe there should be a federal department of education. if they're going to hold that back, i'm skeptical that they'll actually do it, you know? you had the attorney -- or fbi director tell us that there's a massive increase of hate on the
5:42 pm
jewish community that has been rising up, and you've seen that. i want to see department of justice actually ache the some action there -- take some action there or the department of education. but i doubt that they will. i think they're just talking points. i think it's feckless. they just want their tentacles more and more many our -- in our education system, and i think it's wrong. elizabeth: so you're saying this is sort of window dressing, there's nothing to it, that he's just saying it. >> he could do it now. elizabeth: yeah, he could do it now. it's mistaken rhetoric for activity, right? it's mistaking -- >> yeah, or right. elizabeth: -- they're not doing anything. >> yeah. good luck. see, find me a democratic state they're going to withhold funds for because they've been targeting and going after and allowing the hate on jews on campuses. this has been going on for a long time. this just didn't happen in the last three or four weeks. sudden arely there wasn't this -- i mean, it's exponentially bigger than it was, but this has been going on for a long time and certainly against conservatives.
5:43 pm
i mean, you can just make a laundry list of the hate that's gone out against conservatives. people get money from the department of education, and they've never done thinking in the past. elizabeth: that's an important hinge that you just said. now this story the is, coming back to election day in america, this is seen as a referendum on biden and trump. former president trump now leads president biden in the 2024 battlegrounds, five of the six. you've got gubernatorial contests in kentucky and mississippi. kentucky attorney general daniel cameron, he's a republican, taking on andy beshear. so how do you see this? what are you looking for tonight when ballot measures and elections come insome. >> i think -- insome i think virtually all the issues are on the side of republicans right now, but democrats get ana+ in getting out the vote. republicans are over tr saying, hey, how can we're not
5:44 pm
winning -- how come we're not winning. we should have won at hot of ore races, republicans should have, but they're not as organized as the democrats are. can they actually get out the provote, will they have the wind behind their sails when the -- with the issues going on in the country right now? elizabeth: got it. jason chaffetz, thank you so much. good to have to have you on. house republican lawmakers, they're getting ready to bring their impeachment case against president biden to the floor for a vote. we're going to get you the update. first, let's check in with my buddy dagen mcdowell to hear what's coming up on "the bottom line." dagen: jeff van drew is coming up, congressman, on rashid do tlaib. you know, she has trouble keeping her mouth shut in spewing hate about israel, jews and the like. also on the department of homeland security, again, censoring speech in this country. that violates the first amendment. dana loesch on the hand fess toe

elizabeth: okay, let's welcome congressman russell fry from house judiciary. congressman it's good to see you again. okay, this is a mystery. we've got the special counsel overseeing the hunter biden krill probe -- criminal probe, david wise, he toll your committee today -- he it would your committee there was no interference whatsoever in the 5-year criminal probe into hunter bide when multiple whistleblowers say, yeah, there was. this was done to help, reportedly, the president. did you believe david weiss today? >> no, i don't. i think there's still questions that remain unanswered. the only person's story that has remained unchanged in this entire saga are the irs whistleblowers who have come forward. their story has remained the same. david weiss went through this letter exchange with multiple members of congress about what his authority was, and today we learned that he was -- he sought special attorney status in 2022 and was ultimately granted that in 2023.
5:50 pm
in august of this year. so there's a long timeline here when he was seeking help from other u.s. attorneys around the country to bring these charges, and they didn't want to partner with him. elizabeth: are the democrats so cynical that they think voters are not paying attention and are not up to speed and, frankly, dumb? do they see us as all dumb, that we don't see what the irs whistleblowers said was going on behind the scenes at the justice department to help the president? now you and other republicans, you're in the home stretch of the impeachment inquiry into president biden. where does it stand now? we heard you're maybe going to the subpoena, house oversight, possibly 30 witnesses to testify or give interviews. is that true? >> yeah, i think the chairman has made it very clear that he intends to subpoena at this point based on evidence that we have. members of the biden family, obviously, we have the most recent revelation about the $40,000 that was personally written to joe biden himself. and on top of the $200,000 they classified as a loan repayment
5:51 pm
which is kind of laughing bl because they have yet to produce the loan. what was this a loan for? so we're going to release those subpoenas at the chairman's discretion i think thinkable week or very soon, and continue to follow the facts that we're given. every week gets worse for this president though. elizabeth: so are you going to make a criminal referral, whatever kind of referral, to the house for a vote by the end of the year on the impeachment inquiry? is it getting near to that? >> i don't know the schedule on that. you know, i think the chairman and the committee have done a great job leading us up to his point, so i will certainly defer to them. what i do the know is that the evidence is so compelling now, the time is ripe the release these subpoenas to members of the biden family. you continue to headache sure that you cross every t and dot every i, you do this to what the framers intended impeachment to be, but you follow the facts and the law most of all. i think that's critically important here. but right now the next step is
5:52 pm
those subpoenas. elizabeth: congressman, what concerns you the host here about this case? >> quite frankly, one, the strange complexity of the transactions. i mean, if you look at the $40,000 that just was paid, it was whatsapp message that triggered $5 million to a recently-created bank account, $400,000 went to a hunter biden bank account, then 150 goes to his brother who cashes out 50 and sends joe 40. it's crazy when you look at. but i'm really worried about international aspects of this. what policies were dictated because of payments to the biden family? i think that's critically important. elizabeth: got it. congressman fry, thanks for joining us. it's good to see you. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: new york post political reporter jon levine is here. a new bombshell report, why did at least 200 universities illegally withhold information and not disclose $13 billion in donations from foreign regimes including the mideast?
