following your show. thank you. happy birthday, ronald reagan. love you, larry. let's bring in from house judiciary congressman kelly armstrong. congressman, thanks for joining us. by the way, you're running for governor of north dakota. congratulations on that race. so it's happening right now, the house is voting this hour on two articles of impeachment against homeland security secretary mayorkas. are the votes there? if republicans can only lose three vote, it looks like maybe congressmen ken buck and tom mcclintock are a name. what's happening now? >> yeah. we have a 2-vote majority. we're working as quick as a we can, and and i commend whip emmer, but we really should vote to impeach secretary mayorkas. i don't think you could have a guy more derelict in his duties than this secretary. elizabeth: so we've got congressman arm a strong weighing in. let's go right to house judiciary chair jim jordan. of it's good to sew you, chairman jordan. >> good to be with you, les. elizabeth what's happening now with the impeachment vote

against mayorkas? if. >> well, we'll find out. we'll call the roll and we'll see. that's how legislative bodies work.. i'm like kelly, i think we should impeach secretary mayorkas. he has not enforced the law. he's come in front of congress and said things that were not accurate. so when he says that to congress, he's saying that to the american people. so i do think it's warranted, but we'll see what the vote is if, in fact, it's called later today. it's supposed to be. elizabeth: let's get your reaction to this. so, congressman armstrong, president biden also accused today of not being accurate, you know, about a week or so ago he said the border was not a crisis, he it's a challenge. now he's blaming it on trump and republicans. let's get your reaction to this, watch. >> every day between now and november the american people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is donald trump and his maga republican friends. it's time for republicans in the congress to show a little courage, to show a little

pine -- spine, to make it clear to the american people that you work for them and not for anyone else. elizabeth: congressman armstrong, from day one he broke the border. nearly 100 executive actions in his first 100 days, wiping out trump's policies. your reaction. >> well, we passed our border security bill almost a year ago a last may, basically telling the president to do the things he can; reinstate remain in mexico, end catch and release. i got an idea, detain violent criminals from other countries. he could do all of those things right now. we were trying to force his hand with the bill because that's what president trump did. that's what he's capable of doing. and and to blame, to blame republicans for this when he has allowed this to go on and on and on until it became a political liability, not just a liability to the american citizens, is just, quite frankly, ridiculous. elizabeth: so president biden, let me just get this straight, congressman jordan, chairman jordan, he said the senate bill would give him authority to shut the border. [laughter] doesn't he have that authority

now? i mean, okay, let's get this straight. after his administration sued arizona for border barriers like cargo containers -- >> yeah. elizabeth: -- sued texas for if its border barriers, downplaying the border crisis as just a challenge, now he says it's a crisis and he blames trump? chairman jordan? >> yeah. i mean, he's not going to use the power he has to fix the problem that he intentionally created. i mean, this is such a political move right here. oh, i'm going to intentionally create this problem, i'm not going to fix it. but what i'm going to do is blame republicans and blame president trump. well, we've seen that game before. and kelly's exactly right, three things he did on the first day in office, he said no more remain in mexico, no more building the wall, and when you get here, you will be released. and he announces that to the world. it's no wonder everyone is coming to the tune of on pace e to get to 12 million people, 12 million migrants entering our country in the 4 years that he will be president. that's craziness. but they just want to keep doing it. they're starting to talk a

little bit about it because he knows an election's coming up later this fall. so this is, this is so ridiculous. what we need to do is figure out how we can address the problem. we passed a bill last year, the senate won't take it up. we should look at the appropriation bills coming up next month and say we're going to attach to those bills something that will address the problem. elizabeth: so what chairman jordan said, addressing the problem by attaching it to appropriations bills. congressman armstrong, and i know you know this too, chairman jordan, we see repeatedly polls from gal up, emerson, monmouth, quinnipiac, pew, voters are mad and upset about the border. now you've got at least 22 senators including minority leader mitch mccontinue, they're against the new -- mcif connell, they're against the new senate border bill. when you saw this bill with, congressman armstrong, what was your reaction? >> my reaction is, i mean, sometimes i think some of my friends are more interested in making a deal than making a good deal. any bill that allows every one of these cases to go to the most liberal court in washington, d.c. and allows for secretary mayorkas to waive any of the

provisions in the bill, those two things alone make the bill bad enough. but also a legitimizing 5,000 migrants a day is simply untenable, and it's unrealistic, and it's irresponsible. we have people dying in north dakota of fentanyl pows softening every single day -- poisoning every single day. every one of those pills is crossing the southern border. every community in the country can -- community is a border community. elizabeth: one part of this border bill is really bad for u.s. states. it would effectively force all states to sue only in d.c. district court -- >> yeah, only d.c. elizabeth: -- against the president's bad border policies. that would have really hamstrung texas and the border states trying to fix the border crisis biden created and ignited. >> yeah. nothing in that bill makes sense to me. nothing that the biden administration has done relative to our border or, frankly, any other policy area makes sense to me. i mean, here's how crazy the biden administration is, the texas taxpayers put up a fence.

joe biden wants to use american tax dollars to take down the fence that texas put up to secure the border. is that -- that's one of the most stupid things i've ever heard. so this, again, i think the american people have common sense, i think they're going to make the decision for president trump, because they know he actually can secure our border. elizabeth: so where does the impeachment go? do you think he gets ill peached tonight, congressman armstrong? final word. >> i hope so. it's well past time to. this is the worst secretary we have seen in my lifetime and i think my parents' lifetime, and he deserves to be impeached. elizabeth: does he get impeached, chairman jordan? >> i'm lick kelly, i hope -- like kelly, i hope so. i hope it happens. elizabeth: got it. it's good to see you. >> let's welcome formerrer acting i.c.e. director ron vitello. ron are, you've been outspoken about keeping the border saw americans safe because there's no greater civil rights violation than being murdered because of somebody who came in who's a criminal and wasn't detained. now, i.c.e. arrested three

illegal immigrant suspects in that recent mob beating of an nypk cops in times square. they were arrested at a greyhound bus station in phoenix, arizona, but they're still searching for the other suspects. we're hearing they headed to california. >> it's unfortunately, it's -- unfortunate, it's very frustrating for someone who spent 34 years in the government working on border and immigration. kudos to those men and women of i.c.e. who tracked down those three, hopefully they'll get the other five or so that are still at large. we don't deserve this in the united states. we had a secure border when this president took over. we keep -- these blue cities keep asking for this trouble, right in they're saying, hey, we're going to be a sanctuary. who are they actually giving sanctuary too? if people who broke the law to get into the country and then broke another law in their city. this is nonsense. the crimes that illegals commit are completely we vent bl. elizabeth: what do you make of mayor eric adams talking that

these guys should get deported and kathy hochul, the new york governor, is sort of talking about that too? >> why isn't he -- why aren't they calling the white house and making that the case? if why are they, why are they not going to their own city councils or to the state legislature in new york and take e these useless sanctuary city laws off the books? if -- get their law enforcement involved with ice, make sure that tease the -- that's the law of the land in new york. they could do that today. elizabeth: okay. then there's this, two illegal immigrants arrested in the bronx in new york in connection with a, quote, sophisticated criminal enterprise terrorizing locals on stolen mopeds. allegedly dragging a 62-year-old woman across the pavement as they stole her belongings. this gang linked to at least, reportedly at least 62 robberies throughout new york. another moped gang, more than 100 robberies since the fall. this is the issue, we see it. let me just get it straight. we see voters in boston,s

philadelphia, d.c., chicago, new york, los angeles, detroit, they're all saying the same thing, ron, the president's border crisis is hurting them. what do you think? >> it's right. the chaos at the border doesn't stay at the border. it's coming to a city and town all across america. and these big with cities that are led largely by liberal mayors and town people that want to have sang chew square cities, they want to have criminals amongst them, those people are going to prey on the folks that they live next to. those are immigrant communities as well. people deserve better: joe biden and tim kaine cannot claim to love this country while they sit on their hands as the border is out of control, they sit on their hands while crime is out of control in most of our big cities, and they're not speak out against these woke liberal prosecutors that failed to use bail laws and are releasing people without charges for what reason, we don't know. elizabeth you know, it sounds like the media is finally

covering this story. they may be finally waking up. let's watch this. let's get your reaction. >> i mean, that's the crazy thing about the asylum process now. even though it takes years, as you point out, many of the claims that people have which are, you know, i'm -- really they're coming for economic reasons. they want a better life for their family which is certainly understandable, but that doesn't mean you get asylum. asylum is for persecution, political, religious, whatever it may be. >> what is being done to get the public to really rise are up -- rise up in various states to say to their senators that they want to see the borders, the border issue resolved? if i mean, you're getting migrants beating up policemen in the streets of new york, you've seen an influx of migrants all over the country that, frankly, have people outraged. but the border, i mean, we're looking every day at the invasion of migrants, and they're playing a time game with

politics on this? elizabeth: that was al sharpton talking about the invasion of migrants and anderson cooper talking about how asylees should not be here if they're looking for a job. it's only for religious or political persecution. your word on what you just heard. >> welcome aboard. it's about time that people are speak out about the chaos at the border and its effect all over our country. thank you,. elizabeth: ron vitello, we'll have you back on. thanks for joining us. >> appreciate it. elizabeth: we've got a jam-packed hour. we've got congressman scott perry, the heritage foundation's robert greenway, the federalist 's margot cleveland and fox news contributor liz peek. we will keep you posted throughout the hour on the house impeachment vote for mayorkas. also president biden, have you been wondering why he's actually sounding more and more like trump? it's because he's reinstating trump policies he canceled as gallup and cnn says he polls the worst of all presidents in the modern era. and we've got liz peek on

district court was very likely to reject former president trump's claims of immunity, and we knew that this particular panel of the d.c. circuit was also -- they had argument in this case a few weeks back, and the judges were skeptical of it. so it's not a surprise, what happened today. as you know, next stage of the game for former president trump and his legal team is the united states supreme court. under the terms of today's order, he needs to get his brief to the united states supreme court by next monday p. that's lightning fast in screw additional terms, in terms of how quickly you have to file your brief -- judicial terms. but the courts understand the importance, the seriousness and the gravity of the issues this case e presents. elizabeth: so, you know, the debate too, tom, is the supreme court, it may not get involved. it could summarily dismiss any trump appeal on the merits, right? because they could just say, no, we're not going to take it on, we disagree with the appeals court. >> that's right. the supreme court has a whole bunch of options here, and one option is they could say, look, we think these are porn issues, but the -- important issues, but

the timing isn't right. come back to us after there's a trial, months later if this trial goes further forward, if former president trump is convicted. at that point come back to us, and we can decide the immunity question then. that's an option, that's a road that's open to them. we also could say, look, we want to get involved right now. if the supreme court agrees with former president trump's view of the law, there's nothing that stops them from taking this case, in a couple weeks taking the case, reversing it and bringing the trial to an end. elizabeth: remember we talked about this amicus brief from reagan's former a.g., ed meese, and constitutional scholars that special counsel jack smith's office should not exist at all, it doesn't have standing because it's unconstitutional. congress never passed a law authorizing this office in the first place, and jack smith was never confirmed by the senate. is that a going to get taken up? if. >> i don't think it's going to get taken up right now. the court of appeals mention this argument. they said, look, we recognize that this argument was made to us by, as you note, an am a

cuts. that means not one of the party, but a friend of the court who weighed in with this point of view. and the d.c. circuit said, look, we see this argument's being made, but it's not really right, no one's briefed it, we're not focused on it, we're not going to decide it. so i don't think it's likely to get a decision by the supreme court in the near future, but the issue remains very much in play. and i would expect it will be reengaged in and -- if and when this goes back to the trial court, and who knows, we could see it percolating and coming back up to the supreme court in a few months. elizabeth: so the timeline of the start of the federal trial is still unclear. if this case goes back to the trial judges, it's expected judge chutkan, she would again set a new round of pretrial deadlines and new trial date, right? in due course. so we don't know, right? >> that's right, we don't know. and the first thing that's going to have an impact on the trial date is what the supreme court does. if the supreme court agrees to take this case, then all a bets are off, and i think we're not going to see a trial anytime before late summer at the very earliest.

however, if the supreme court denies this appeal and sends it right back to judge chutkan, things will move along faster. but, to your point, it's not like there's going to be a trial in february or march because the judge has to allow both sides enough time to prepare their case, to review the evidence, look over witness prints -- transcripts and really get a case ready to prepare to a jury. elizabeth: and that's another thing, there's nearly 13 million pages of documents, so that's going to be something -- >> that's a lot.

calling the border a crisis and not a challenge, as this president has done. edward lawrence at the white house with the latest. edward. >> reporter: well, liz, three years into his presidency, and now-president joe biden is reversing some very big policies. when the president first got into office in the first week, he halted all the work with on the border wall. now in the negotiated deal between the white house, senator chuck schumer and senator mitch mcconnell, it makes the border wall money available in 20 8:00. the biden administration reversed the designation of the houthis as a terrorist group free from sanctions, they've amassed drones and ballistic missiles being shot at ships in the red sea is. three weeks ago president biden reversed that reversal, making the houthis a terrorist group again. >> our response has degraded their capabilities, and we think that's incredibly important. look, the united states, the president has said this, you heard this from, you heard this from our nsc colleagues here, the united states will not hesitate to take further actions

to defend against these unlawful, reckless attacks against u.s. ships and international, international commercial vessels. >> reporter: the administration also has given about $1 billion to the united nations relief and works agency since president biden came into office. former president trump unfunded the group. now, several reports accuse the group of funneling aid money to hamas. israel now claims members of that group helped in the october 7th attacks. some experts say that we're seeing the results of bind's foreign policies. >> if you look what's the difference between 2021, january, when trump left office and now iran has enriched itself, it's really gained the confidence to go to war with israel, to take americans -- not justice reillys, americans being held hostage and killed by iranian proxies, and literally fighting us throughout the middle east, in syria, iraq and the and red sea. >> reporter: and president biden has now paused the money to that relief organization. the organization denies that it funnels money to hamas if as well as denying members were involved in the october 7th attacks and investigation is now

underway. elizabeth: thank you, edward lauren. great reporting, as always. let's welcome back to the show the federalist's senior legal correspondent margot cleveland. it's always a pleasure to have you on, we're happy to see you again. your reaction to that report. >> well, on the immigration front, it was laughable. 2028? how many more illegal immigrants are we going to have in our country by then? and that does nothing to address what we have right now. finish i think that was coming out with some way they think it's going to save that mess of a senate bill that we saw the text of, and and that wasn't laughable, that was pathetic. it was cowardly, and it's going to do nothing to help our country safeguard itself. elizabeth: another thing too, margot, president biden, again he's baffling election watchers, he's making more and more gaffes on the campaign trail. now, you know, people who run for elected office, margot have

said, you know, you say 10,000 words in a day, you're going to make mistakes. we don't point this out just to be, you know, churlish, but democrat insiders, democrats have been increasingly worried president biden is not up to running again. he told a crowd in las vegas that he recently talked to a former friend if. president -- french president who's been dead for 27 years. watch this. >> you know, right after i was elected i went to what they call a g7 meeting with all the nato leaders. it was in -- [inaudible] and i sat down and i said is, america's back. mitterand of germany -- i mean, from france, looked at me and said,, said, you know, why -- how long you back for? we're just on a roll here. we created almost 15 million brand new jobs just in 3 years, more than any president has in

american history in that period of time. we've actually made sure that we have all kinds of additional help. people are getting paychecks for hispanics, they're making 40% more money than hay did before they started in terms of wealth. african-americans, 50%. just about every. everybody. elizabeth: these economic statistics here are also being called into question. for example, he created 4 million jobs. the economy clawed back 22 million jobs lost in pan them dick -- pandemic shutdowns. he can't take credit for wage gains or wealth gains either. so what do you make when you hear him on the campaign trail? again, as a human being to another human being, is he up for reelection? can he do the job? because there's a lot of concerns about the president as as a human being that he shouldn't run again, that measured just, you know, retire -- that he should just, you know, retire and sit on his

lawfuls, whatever they may be. do you think what i mean, margot? are you concerned listening to him in action? >> i am. and not so much on the statistics he was citing. that's a typical biden thing that he's always a done which is to lie about what a he's done and how he's done it. but the fact that he was speaking of meeting a french president who is dead, and he even corrected himself because he said germany, and he changed it to france. that actually makes me worried that he, his dementia is a lot further along than people think. that's not a gaffe. that is an issue of his ability, his cognitive the ability -- cognitive ability. and that should scare the entire country. elizabeth: why? >> well, if someone does not have the cognitive ability, and and that is something that you see with patients with dementia. my mother, unfortunately, had dementia before she passed, and

she would constantly refer to people who were dead and assume that a they were still alive. so i see that, and that's the kind of reaction i have is. elizabeth: yeah. >> which leads me to believe, who's running the country right now? elizabeth: people are genuinely concerned. again, meaning no ill will, just generally concerned. >> right. elizabeth: we hear it from d.c. insiders off the time. march duo cleveland, thank you so much, good to have you on. let's well come robert greenway -- welcome robert greenway. he served on the national security council, at the defense intelligence agency. he's a combat veteran of the u.s. army and special forces. robert is also a principal architect of the historic abraham accords. robert, thank you so much for joining us. this fight over $60 billion more in aid to ukraine, government watchdogs, we've been reading and researching this, they're really worried about the waste, fraud and abuse in this. what do you think? >> well, thanks for having me on. look, everybody is sympathetic to the horrendous humanitarian

crisis that russia caused and inflicted upon the people of ukraine. and i think despite that sympathy, we're all concerned, the average american who's having difficulties, frankly, with food, gas and rent, with money going overseas. and to see this epic amount of resources being committed abroad to secure another country's borders, i think there's a rightful demand that we have proper accountability. and, look, our government, any government, the ukrainian government's track record on accountability is not entirely perfect. so it's a righteous, i think, demand the american people have to see where their money is being spent. elizabeth: you know what else is going on, robert? this is interesting, we'd like your take on this. even the special inspector general who oversaw afghanistan and also, you know, house republicans, the inspector general for afghanistan's spending, he warned this needs to be closer oversight on ukraine spending. he's -- there's also concerns about the u.s. weapons falling

into terrorist hands bz and u.s. dollars going into these corrupt officials' pockets and things like overseas offshore bank accounts. what do you think? >> oh, he's absolutely right. and he found a great deal of fraud, waste and abuse in the afghan campaign and, frankly, we left $83 billion of equipment and infrastructure behind when we left to the people we took the country away from after nerve, which which boths -- nerve, which bothers boths of us who were in afghanistan to no end. he's right, actually the house passed an approval to create a special inspector general for ukraine, and the senate denied the claim. you can question exactly what their motivation was, but certainly it wasn't to instill accountability. look, it's a basic requirement. if we're going to spend billions, we ought to know where it goes. the american people have a right to know it, and it's unclear to me why there's opposition to it. elizabeth: okay. let's get your reaction to chuck schumer here. senator chuck schumer is saying

if you don't fund ukraine, our u.s. soldiers may have to be fighting in ukraine. it's not a nato member. watch this. >> if we don't aid ukraine, putin will be, walk all over ukraine, we will lose the war, and we could be fighting in eastern europe in a nato ally in a few we'res. -- years. americans won't like that. elizabeth: what do you think? >> well, i think he's leaping to conclusions, and i think i can understand why he's doing it. but to most americans, they're concerned with the 10 million illegal immigrants that have crossed the border since the biden administration took over, and they'd like to see something done about it, particularly closing the border. and so until and unless that's done, i think most americans are not keen to see us secure someone else's borders despite the tremendous and rightful sympathy we have for the people of ukraine and the antipath think we have toward putin. elizabeth: we've got to get to this, reports are coming in that telecoms affiliated with yemen are warning that iran-backed

houthi terrorists may try to cut and sabotage undersea cables at the bottom of the red sea. that would affect a fifth of the world's internet traffic. are you worried about this? >> no doubt. we just saw in october a chinese vessel was dragging their anchor and ripping up undersea pipelines and cables, without consequence i should add. we should be worried again that the houthis could be targeting this. but really it's iran that's responsible for all of it, and the houthis wouldn't have the capability to do it without fundamental support from iran. and until we confront iran on it, the threat remains. so it's not just trade, it's energy and it's also information that's at risk. elizabeth: got it. robert greenway with, you were terrific. we hope you come back on again soon. >> my pleasure. elizabeth: coming up, we've got congressman scott perry. the congressman was in today's hearing on capitol hill on the breakdown and oversight of boeing. we're going to get his reaction to that new ntsb bombshell

preliminary report, four key bolts actually missing on that door that blew off mid-air from an alaska airlines' boeing 737 max 9 jet. but want to check in with my buddies, jackie deang lis who's in for craigening, and my friend sean -- sean: jackie deangelis is here today. jackie: good to be here. sean: yeah. the border battle debate rages. we have senator marsha blackburn going to discuss that, break it down for us, as well as treasury secretary janet yellen testified today talking about the finan surveilling americans. she can't give a very good answer.: meantime, florida congresswoman kat cammack, she's talking about president biden's export ban and griff jenkins is talking about some of the spillover effects of what's happening down at our southern border, how chinese migrants are coming in and tiktok is telling them how to do it. we'll see you at the top of the

elizabeth: okay, let's get right to grady trimble. he's standing by live at d.c.'s reagan national airport in virginia. he's got news on that bombshell ntsb report about key bolts that

were missing, causing that door to blow off a boeing alaska a airlines' jet in early january. grady, what a story. >> reporter: pretty startling, liz. this report is from the if ntsb. it's just its initial findings into with what went wrong in that mid-air scare. you mentioned that that plug flew off the plane while it was flying, 737 max if 9 plane. the report says four bolts appeared to be missing from that very plug that flew off of the plane. the plug was removed for repairs year, and when it was put back on, the bolts may not have been put in place where they belong according to photos in the ntsb report. here's what boeing's ceo, dave calhoun, is saying about it. whatever final conclusions are reached, boeing is accountable for what happened. an event like this hu not happen on an airplane that leaves our factory. he goes on to say we're implementing a comprehensive plan to strengthen quality and the confidence of our

stakeholders. now, almost all of the 737 max 9 planes that alaska and united airlines fly are back in the air after a they were briefly grounded and inspected. at a hearing before congress today, faa administrator mike whitaker told lawic -- lawmakers he's confident in the max 9, and he would fly on one. right now whitaker says 20 inspectors are at boeing facilities evaluating every phase of the manufacturing process. the faa, he says, is also looking into whether the agency needs to do more hands-on monitoring of boeing's manufacturing practices. >> the current system is not working because it's not delivering safe aircraft. so we have to make some changes to that. and i think we also have to look at the culture, to your point. incentives drive behavior, and i think maybe we need to look at a the incentives to make sure safety is getting the appropriate first rung of consideration that it deserves. >> reporter: the release of

the ntsb's initial finding sets the stage for another congressional a hearing with boeing ceo dave calhoun. senators on the commerce committee told me they wanted to wait until that ntsb report was out before asking him questions and grilling him. his? elizabeth: okay, grady, we'll have you back on. this story's going to keep going. grady trimble, always great reporting from you. we appreciate you very much. joining us now, congressman scott perry from house transportation. congressman, you were at the hearing today. thank you so much for joining us. it's great to see you again. what's your assess is. of what's going on? -- your assess amount of -- assessment of what's going? we have the head of ryan air a, emirates air all saying they're angry over boeing's quality controls. is the faa all over this? what do you think? >> well, it seems like, well, the f ark a's all over it now, elizabeth. thanks for the opportunity. obviously, somebody wasn't looking after this. the plane was in alaska's employment, so to speaks for

about 10 weeks. so it seems because of, because of photos that were taken and that were outlined in the preliminary report that there is some reason to believe that the four bolts were not put on the plug. and so it was flying for 8, 9, maybe 10 weeks without them. somebody didn't do an inspection. usually a mechanic, this is from my experience at least in the army, a mechanic does the work. there's a technical inspection and then a quality control inspection if to make sure. as you know, it's one thing when things go bad when you're driving a car and you can pull over. unfortunately with an airplane, there's no, not many options when things start coming apart. so it's really critical to get these things right and take your time. finish and where the faa is often heavy handed, which is in the process of making a new airplane and so on and so forth, apparently where they're really not doing the job is in making sure that the normal flying fleet is correctly inspected and maintained, which is a daily function.

elizabeth: daily function. congressman, okay, so there's this: the faa transportation secretary pete buttigieg, they were recently called out for an alarming rise in close call, near collisions of airplane airplanes at u.s. airports. it's something like it's up 25% versus a decade ago. and the tsa and airlines have been battling against things like customer fights in airports and on planes, and now the president's border crisis has illegal ail a yens at airports in chicago -- aliens at airports in chicago and boston. we watched you today, your sewer action with the faa chief. we want to listen and show the viewer what happened at the hearing with you grilling the faa chief. watch this. >> i'm just asking if you've -- you're the administrator. has the faa approved any requests to house illegal foreign nationals? >> i'm going to answer that if you'll let me. >> okay. >> my understanding -- >> i just want to use the time efficiently. >> yeah. so the faa a does approve requests for community use. whatever the category. there's a huge number of

categories for community use, and our criteria a's whether it interrupts aeronautical uses or is otherwise disruptive. >> did the faa make that determination? >> the determination was that it did not interfere with aeronautical uses. elizabeth: okay, congressman, this is about safety. are these illegal aliens vetted? are you worried that this is going to be disruptive to airport security and safety of passengers on planes? is this, are you worried about this? >> i am a concerned about it. the vetting is inadequate. i think it does pose a threat to airport safety, passenger safety and overall national security. and and the fact that he, a, didn't know the regulations that a he presides over -- and i know he's new in the position, but he's, he's been at the faa a for a long time. he might be new in the position, but he should know these things. and the fact that they did approve some but apparently didn't approve others, these are illegal foreign nationals sitting on federal

taxpayer-funded property. you know, when you can't make your plane on time because you're trying to work around people here illegally crowding the terminal, that's not acceptable to the american flying public. elizabeth: got it. congressman perry, thanks for joining us. it's good to have you on. >> thank you, elizabeth. elizabeth: fox coming up, fox news contributor liz peek out with a new column. really interesting, you've got to read it, detailing how president biden's foreign policy just might be built on his fear of higher gas prices blowing up his re-election chances. it's the back story to how this white house could be going easy on u.s. enemies to please their donors while cracking down on u.s. energy. it's coming up on "the even evening edit." ♪ ♪ j.p. morgan wealth management knows it's easy to get lost in investment research.

liz: well, look who's back with us, liz peek. liz, it's good to see you again. liz, we read your new column about how biden's foreign policies built on his fear that higher gas prices will ruin his reelection. what's the detail here and the proof? >> well, look, let's go back to 2022 when gas prices touched $5 a barrel and set off the great reelection panic after 2022, liz. liz: $5 a gallon? $5 a gallon?

>> yeah, sorry. biden's approval rating torched immediately and his entire team swamabled trying to find out what to do. they invaded strategic petroleum reserve driving down to a level that many people thought was really injudicious and dangerous for the united states moreover they began to ease sanctions on iran and looking the other way and iran's oil exports went from half a million barrel as day to 1.3 million-barrel as day, most of which by the way goes to china. was done even after the hamas horrors of october 7, which we know was backed by iran. so not only has the biden administration failed to enforce tough sanctions that the trump administration put on iran, they gave iran access to $10 billion more held in iraq through a

waiver on sanctions so they've given them $10 billion in extra funding through increased oil exports and another $10 billion through this waiver on sanctions. it's really unmanlyable and again -- unimagine and will that waiver took place after the october 7 massacre. but, liz, the important thing here is what we know is not only in iran but also in dealings with venezuela and saudi arabia and the same fear among the biden team of higher gasoline prices is driving policy and that's just wrong. liz: so the president not specifically stopping iran even after three u.s. soldiers killed by an iran-backed militia and he's afraid, you think that'll hurt hie iran's oil production causing energy and gas prices to go up, hurting his approval ratings causing them to go down. i mean, biden's team led iran's export by half a million barrels

per day in a five year high. final word. >> well, again, we know it worked and trump put on the sanctions and they drove down revenues and exports and it was working like everything else that trump d did when joe biden took office, he wanted to undo all the successful policies including progress on the abraham accords, which founded a very good resistance to iran in the region. everything is wrong, liz, but this pandering if you will to the approval ratings i think is horrifying. liz: got it, liz peek, terrific writer, read liz peek's come pe, she's great. read her story. i'm elizabeth macdonald and thank you for watching "the evening edit" on fox business and now time for the bottom line. hi, jackie and sean, there's a hot show coming up. craig:
