[laughter] i would tweet it out over kingdom come -- [laughter] don't ask me to do it. i look like seinfeld's elaine trying to do the trump dance. larry: have a great show, liz. elizabeth: welcome to "the evening edit," i'm elizabeth

macdonald. >> senator, how'd your meeting with pete pete hegseth god? >> it was very positive, and i appreciate that he respects the process. so, yes, fors it was very good. >> it was a great meeting. people don't really know this, i've known senator ernst for over ten years. >> looking forward to continuing to engaming in the worth -- with the senators. elizabeth: the action on capitol hill to get the trump agenda going. look at this, new york u.s. news magazine now sayings -- says they are exactly what's needed to shake up washington, fix america as consumer, small business, corporate optimism soaring. in just moments, senator ted cruz will join us to break it down. also tonight, the growing backlash against media players cheering on the murder of a ceo shot in the back. >> that's why i felt along with so many other americans joy, unfortunately, you know? because -- >> joy?

seriously? >> i mean -- >> joy at a man's execution? elizabeth: that's really disgusting stuff, right? jason rantz, is fired up, ready the take that on. the media taking glee in the execution of the ceo of united health care, a father and a husband. plus, democrats in disarray. their leader, nancy pelosi, embroiled in a major new controversy. we've got it. also this, a new report out of "the washington post," why are government workers now scrambling to clean out their social media accounts ahead of trump? what are they trying to hide? we've got it. plus, this news is rocking chicago. chicago is now ground zero of democrats and biden's border collapse. black and minority neighborhoods getting hammered with rising crime, rising taxes and injustices against them. it's getting worse. you will want to hear exactly what democrats in chicago are doing now to black and minority neighborhoods in this crisis. chicago resident danielle carter

walters is going to speak out. but first, this: president-elect trump's nominees making the rounds on capitol hill to the gather senate support before their confirmation hearings. let's get the update right now, senior national correspondent aishah hasnie is live on cap until -- capitol hill with the stories. what's happening now? >> reporter: good evening to you, a lot of news coming many on capitol hill. so trump's pentagon nominee, pete hegseth, is currently meeting with senator steve daines. he just popped out of a meeting with senator murkowski who is a very important vote for him. he called that morning excellent and said that he appreciated her input a great deal. he is meeting with senator susan collins tomorrow. these two senators, murkowski and collins, elizabeth, are pretty moderate republicans who have a streak of an independent

streak when it comes to president trump. collins tells fox news that she is going to ask hegseth tomorrow about ukraine, sexual assault in the military, combat, women in combat and the allegations that have been lodged against him again, murkowski and collins are two votes that he really is trying to ensure that he has. hegseth is making progress as well with senator joni ernst, a combat veteran and a sexual assault survivor herself. ernst is facing backlash though and threats of being primaried if she votes no to which one of her colleagues says that is just not right. watch. >> do you think joni should be pri married if she says no at the end of the day? >> no. i think joni's going through the process because it's very important to her. she'll make the right decision, and i'm ifs about that. >> reporter: so homeland security secretary nominee kristi noem made her debut on the hill today. she is going to be meeting with

or has met with incoming homeland security chairman rand paul and also fbi director nominee carb pa -- kash patel returned to the hill today the as well. it is a busy, busy week as these nominees try to gain as much gop support as possible before they the ever get to the a confirmation hearing. it's a lot of work. elizabeth: right. aishah, thanks for joining us. okay. take a look at what u.s. news magazine says. quote, president-elect trump's cabinet picks are exactly what's needed to shake up washington and fix america. let's get right to seattle talk radio host jason rantz. jason, when you see all this plague out in d.c. and you heard that story, what's your reaction? >> my reaction is this is precisely what we asked of donald trump and what he promised to deliver, now we're going to get it. someone who's going to make these nominations with the intent to shake things up. but doing so at least in a responsible way.

there are, obviously, ways that you can disrupt that is not just for the sake of disruption, but causing chaos to the detriment of the department that they are potentially going to be appointed to. i don't think we've gotten any of those the kinds of choices from donald trump. you may disagree perhaps with whether or not they have all the, i don't know, the resumé requirements of some of these positions to folks on the hill, but i think when you're talking to average people, when you give them the backgrounds of a pete hegseth or 2u8 city gabbard -- tulsi gabbardover even an rfk jr. who's probable the only one who's possibly in significant trouble, i think the average person would come out and say, yeah, this is the appropriate choices. this is why we went with trump. elizabeth: we found 49 states are going red, just one state is blue, massachusetts. voterses gave trump a mandate. they want the trump agenda. so from where you sit, does it look like the republican senators will get onboard and,

you know, confirm all of his nominees? we've got the new york fed if survey, look at this. voter optimism about their household finances hit the highest level since february 2020. that was before the covid pandemic hit. small business optimism soaring, the optimism if index at the highest level in three years. business round table survey of ceos now the highest optimism in two years, jason. >> yeah. and keep in mind, these are numbers as a result of president-elect trump, right? he's not even in office yet, and i think once he gets back into the oval office and a will it -- is a little more visible than he is now which is intentional, he's not going to be delivering speeches or talking to the press every single day. but once he gets into the oval office, he takes on that position again and he does start getting in front of the american people not only do the numbers you just cited continue to go up, but i also think it puts a new sense of pressure on the senate as to whether or not they're going to bo with some of

these choices. i honestly believe rfk jr.'s probably the only one who is in potential trouble because of his past comments around vaccines, for example. but i think everyone else at this point just looking at some of the insider reporting and, you know, hearing from some of these folks, it doesn't seem like there's all that much of a controversy anymore. and, again, that's including pete hegseth with joni ernst starting to clearly change her tune. i think overall he's going to have, i wouldn't necessarily call it smooth sailing because i do this i think it's important to ask all of these folks really tough questions and understand where they're coming from. but at the end of the day, i think they get the thumbs up perhaps with one exception. elizabeth: from where you sit, you don't see much of a democrat pushback. you don't see the protests in the streets of america like in the first trump term. what do you make of that? >> i think they saw this last election, and it clearly hurt their momentum or at least the

momentum that they thought they had. i think a lot of folks became a little disillusioned with the fact that the they were told they were going to win this last election. and then, of course, going into the last election he did also have a lot of people that did not like kamala harris as the choice. there was the clearly a movement to either vote for a third the party or sit this one out completely. and perhaps for some even just give a protest vote to donald trump the because they thought that he was the way to send a clear message to the democrat party. think you're starting to see a significant split if between progressives and the democrats who are considered more mainstream and, frankly, they're going to have to make a choice as a party whether or not they're going to continue to amplify the voices of members of the squad, people like pramila jayapal or aoc and i'll hand to marx or are hay going to start to take their party back. they probably would have won the election if they didn't lean in for the last several years into

all the woke garbage. hay probably would have won. but they chose to lean into the wokeness because a loud group of very angry, defiant, chaotic progressives pushed them into it, bullied them into it. and they paid a price. so now there's going to be a lot of in-fighting, and i think that's obviously to the detriment of their politics, which is okay with me, and to the, you know, the glee, i suppose, of republicans. elizabeth: okay. jason rapt, appreciate you so much. we'll see you later on in the show. t it's good to see you again. >> the billion dollar deficit, and you spent half our money, half of that on illegals. trump, tom homan, make a [bleep] out of this right here first. please, come here first because you know what? we gonna help you. elizabeth: chicago's minority and black voters in a world of pain. illegal aliens really hitting chicago hard. s the ground zero -- it is

ground zero for everything wrong with biden and the democrats' out of roll border collapse. again -- out of control border collapse. black voters getting hit the hardest. wait until you hear how democrats want the raise their taxes to pay for all this. it's totally unfair and wrong. danielle carter walters, you just saw her in that video, she's fired up, ready to go to take that on. also this, the update on lawmakers demanding manhattan d.a. alvin bragg resign, be investigated for politicizing justice and going after trump and the daniel penny case. also this story tonight -- >> -- members of congress have their -- [inaudible] trading in stock stocks while serving in congress? >> well, no, to the second one. we have a responsibility to report in the stock, on a stock, but i don't -- i'm not familiar with that 5-month are review. but if the people aren't reporting, they should be.

finish. elizabeth: we've got shocking new data, nancy pelosi's net worth just hit an all-time record high. the renewed focus on that and pelosi's inside perch on legislation. the question is, can former speaker pelosi still the effectively lead democrats? that story coming up. house homeland security committee chair mark if green will join us taking on the growing concerns about mystery drones flying over new jersey. what's that about? and we are staying on the growing backlash against media pun fitses, create -- pundits, criticized for their sick cheering on of the execution/murder of the ceo of united health care. he's a father and a husband. also the up. >> date on government -- the update on government workers reportedly scramble dog to protect themselves from trump.

>> you're so strong about protecting those aliens, but you won't do nothing for the u.s. citizens. you are going down in history as the worst mayor in america.

>> our mayor is embarrassing us, y'all, around the world. and you all took the power back from him to say the city of chicago is out of the business of funding illegals. we are out of the the business of prioritizing non-american citizens on top of the american citizens who go out many in this cold weather every day to the make money to to pay their taxes. elizabeth: chicago residents righteously and justify by angry, hammering the democrat mayor of chicago, johnson, as the worst in member. democrats and the biden white house literally turned chicago into ground zero of their border collapse and illegal alien crisis, but democrats want black and minority voters to pay for the crime, pay for the fee giveaways with higher tacks. ax that it is are already at a -- taxes, taxes that are already at a 3-decade high. joining us now, one of those residents you just saw, danielle carter walkers. it's such a pleasure.

thank you so much for joining us again. can you please explain to the viewer how bad, how bad is crime in cag? just sit tight. -- in chicago? in just two weeks, 13 people shot, a police officer shot, one person killed, eight people shot last week, now confirmed to be the venezuelans, likely illegals. a chicago woman came back from thanksgiving, found two my i can'ts -- migrants in her home with a gun. what is going on? >> it's very bad, very bad. and brandon job toson -- johnson has the nerves to say that the numbers are down. he just touted that in an interview. the numbers are up. do not listen to this lying mayor. crime is very bad. and especially when you're dealing with, now, illegal alien crime. elizabeth: what kind of crimes are we talking about? is it home invasions? is it retail theft? can you spell out the crimes? and are you worried about the city's children? >> yes.

so the retail theft is really, really, really bad. and also just the gang violence. now we have venezuelan gangs, tren de aragua here. they're going against the black gangs that's here in our neighborhood. so you put 70,000 illegal aliens and you dump them into the black neighborhood and then what you expect? if of course crime is going to go up, violence, shootings, carjackings. exactly, that's what's happening. and he's not reporting all that. elizabeth: he's not reporting all that. >> no p. elizabeth: trump's borders, or tom homan was in chicago last night if. the he said chicago will be ground zero for mass deportation it is. do you think chicago and state democrats are going to go along with that? >> they don't have a choice. actually, i met tom homan if yesterday. he looked at me, he said, i know you. so, yes, he's a very, very nice

guy. but they have no choice. because like we said, we're behind tom homan and president trump. so if brandon johnson tries to stop him or pritzker, we are for locking them up. please make an example owl ott -- out of them. that's' exactly what i told tom homan if yesterday, chicago behind you. elizabeth: yeah. the federal law is behind tom homan. and by the way, politicians, officials cannot interfere with the carrying out of principal law to do those de-- of flag law to do those deportations that pew and monmouth polls show voters demand. >> exactly. elizabeth: property tax bills have quadrupled in chicago. they're up nearly 20-30%. black people are getting hit hard. the south side is getting hit hard with tax increases, but the chicago city council, we're hearing they're going to meet this friday. are they talking about raising everyone's taxes to pay for the illegal alien crisis and the

free giveaways? >> of course they are. so friday they should be, they will be voting on the 28 million because with you know he proposed 300 million property tax hike. then 150, now 68 billion. so friday i will be down there because this is the what they're proposing -- this is what they're proposing, to raise our property taxes all while still funding illegals, giving them free everything on our backs. and we are not having it. elizabeth: are they talking also about nickel and dime taxes, like raising taxes on streaming television, raising taxes on uber rides, raising taxes on even water bottles? we are hearing, i mean, chicago needs water bottles because the tap water's so polluted. is this all -- is that the all correct? what's going on? >> yes. they're talking about taxing us bags. we already pay 7 cents for bag

taxes, and now they're talking about 10 cents. so, yeah, streaming, exactly. the streaming is -- so how are you going to keep trying to nickel and dime us to pay because you're not, you can't budget the e city? elizabeth: yeah. or stop this illegal alien crisis that's so unfair. now a dime now tax on grocery bags. danielle carter walters, thanks for bringing it every time. we'll stay on the story. we're just heart broken with what's going on in chicago. it's good to see you again. >> yes. thank you thank you so much. of. elizabeth: sure. >> this was an atrocity, and i think that is a well-stated headline. alvin bragg is a disgrace. alvin bragg has made a shame of new york. he has ruined our city, ands it is really -- we have no place for it in america anymore. elizabeth: well, now you have got republican lawmakers saying investigate manhattan t. the a. alvin bragg. they're demanding he resign for politicizing justice with the daniel penny and the trump

isn't that something? i really think it's reflective about how people are feeling about their health care. >> if you're on the american left tonight, here's my chart. the good guys today, daniel penny. the bad guys, rougey mangione knit. it seem to me -- >> why the [bleep] are you laughing all the time? why would you be in a celebratory mood about the execution of another human being? aren't you supposed to be on the caring, sharing left where you believe in the sanctity of life? elizabeth: yeah, where did the caring left go? joining us now, form former congressman jason chaffetz. thank you, jason, for joining us. what do you make of this and what you just heard? >> it's absolutely unbelievable. democrats in general have taken this position that they're compassionate ones, that they care more. but these few, and i'm not saying it's the mass or all of them, but a few of them are taking glee and almost encouraging it to try to justift

the execution-style murder of somebody who's a dad, just a human being, for goodness sake. now, we'll see if that alleged killer is the one who actually did it, but why he's glorified in any way, shape or form is just beyond me. elizabeth: we should ounce -- point out -- point out he comes from a wealthy family that owns two resorts in grand. can we show the -- in maryland. can we show the resorts? there they are. what do you make of lawmakers demanding manhattan t.a. bragg resign or be investigated for politicizing justice in taking on the daniel penny subway case? it was a resounding not guilty verdict, saying bragg's got to go to get america's trust the back. we should point out the majority of that jury was female. four members were persons of color. >> yeah. yeah, look, the jury, i think, got it right.

and new york and the world is a better place because of it. and, i mean, it's sad that somebody ultimately died, but i think there are a lot of other reasons for that. daniel penny saved a lot of people on that train that day, and i think the in realtime when you play the video of the police and you play the passengers, they were very grateful. should he be probed for some of his political ties and motivations? perhaps. but it's really up to the voters of new york. i don't know why they put up with this. all the problems, all the challenges in new york, and this is the kind of stuff they do, he goes after donald trump, the he goes after daniel penny? come on. this is, this is why new york is in shambles right now. elizabeth yeah. daniel penny did not get on that that subway that day looking to kill somebody, but luigi mangione did. bragg led the charge to let out of jail illegal alien who beat up cops in times square or and got congressmen like chip roy, new york city democrats and

republicans saying enough is enough with alvin bragg. they want to get him out. they said -- one democrat councilman from queens said with case after case bragg demonstrates contempt for reality, for common sense, going after heroes while letting criminals roam the streets. the illegal alien crisis, they think it's okay and justifiable for them to cross america's borders, to rape and kidnap, then to get freebies and saying, oh, america is white. that white people just should put up with this. when you have black voters outraged in chicago with taxes and crime going up. >> yeah. well, they the also need to -- in new york you've got the look at the the governor. they had a chance to take lee zeldin. they made the wrong choice. hochul could have taken care of this, but voters better wake up and make some changes. elizabeth: jason chaffetz, thanks for joining us. it's good to see you. >> thank you. ♪ >> i think there definitely

needs to be steps taken to make sure minoritieses are are still seen on campus, but that also doesn't mean limit the opportunities of people just because with they're of a certain race and not of another. >> i think it's great. i really don't feel that it's necessary. i feel like students are just great how they are. we don't need to have race or gender or mig like that. we're just meet being students as we are. we'll be less likely to assume someone's here because of non-valid reasons, but based on their own merits. elizabeth: those are students from the university of michigan on why they are happy their college and state stopped the push for diversity, equity, inclusion. "usa today" saying a divided america. rutgers study says it made things worse, that it promoted false perceptions of prejudice and racism in america. let's bring in the senior adviser at america first legal, the author of the book "parents of the world unite," ian prior. it's a pleasure to see you again.

>> thanks. elizabeth: students are saying, you know, falsely perceived prejudices, dei made things worse. what do you think? >> well, look, i think this is something that's been going on in a academia, in corporate me, hollywood for years. but it was under sort of the more political correctness. and then post-george floyd, you know, what really happened is they take this political correctness, and they put it in one of hose gain of function labs and turned it into dei. and they just went so far, and so many people just did the not approve of it. look at the polls even back then, whether it's employees, students, customers from these stores, it was not something they wanted to see. and it took several years, really from 2021 til now, to start rooting it out of the system, and i think america's going to be better for that. elizabeth: show the data that we're finding on the states. it's, like, 30 states outlawing dei, more colleges, even

companies getting rid of dei. the incoming trump justice department is expected to stop dei. so there's that story too. we've got to move on to this, "the washington post" is now reporting, ian, government workers are scrambling to clean out and scrub their social media accounts on twitter, facebook, instagram, linked inn to protect themselves from trump. they're changing their job titles, cleaning out mentions of dei in their social media accounts, cleaning out mentions of environmental justice, climate justice, plus any negative posts about trump. what do you think of thisesome -- this? >> well, you know, i think what you have in the government are people that have been fully onboard with this point of view for years, and those are -- a lot of them, not all of them, but they're career employees. and, you know, hay want to keep their jobs. they want to burrow in there and make shower instead of being -- [inaudible] and being out on on social media talking about these dei

policies, they're going to keep it to themselves. but that that means they're still going to try to implement them into the government as they always have. it's sort of back to future. but really i think the incoming president and the administration needs to make sure that these are not the individuals that are pushing policy in america, because america has fully rejected dei and all its tentacles back in november. and we're looking forward to going back to a place where meritocracy is what america is about -- elizabeth: you know, i'll tell you, ian, america is a good and generous nation. it's an open arms nation. america is about, is a good nation of family and friends who care about other people. when with you have things like dei, it's basically saying, you know, america is bad. america has a bill of rights. america has a constitution. if it was so bad, why is everybody in the world trying to cross the border to to get into it, ian? final word. >> well, that's absolutely right. and what we've seen is this poisonous dei has really

infected not just corporate america as i talked about, but also neighborhoods and families, you know? the constitution is really what governs this nation, and as you stated, the constitution has no place for dei. elizabeth: ian pryor, terrific to have you on. thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> so the, in terms of the bonus if that corporate america received versus the crumbs that they are giving to workers to kind of put the schmooze on is so pathetic, it's so pathetic. elizabeth: nancy pelosi pretending to care about crumbs of tax cuts and tax breaks. she made tons of cash under biden. a new report her net worth just hit a new record high. coming up, find out just how much she is now worth as she has a top seat on incoming legislation. we're trying to get to the bottom of this. also this story tonight -- >> they're passing each other.

i mean, how do the they [bleep] -- >> how could they? >> what's going on. >> it looks like a hoverboard. oh, yeah, it does. >> do you think it's finish. elizabeth: people in new jersey are saying, why can't we get ans over mysterious drones appearing in the night sky over new york and new jersey? my next guest says it's a national security issue. homeland security chair mark green has new legislation to tackle the drone threat next. but first, let's talk to our friends tammy bruce and brian brenberg. what's to coming up on "the bottom line"? brian: liz, big show for you. democrats trying to scare up opposition to trump's deportation plan. tom homan is here to take that on. and did you know that biden's spending millions of dollars on misinformation research? [laughter] well, liz peek's got something to say about that. tammy: and, gosh, also steven moore, you know, there's funny numbers coming out of the white house.

dozen majors -- mayors demanding ans after more and more mysterious drones were spotted flying over the garden state. let's are bring in fox news' nate foy live in morristown, new jersey, with more on this. nate, what's going on here? >> reporter: hey, liz are. well, that's what people in new jersey are asking, and this was a hearing on capitol hilled today where an fbi representative said the agencies has received more than 3,000 tips, and they're going through all the pictures and videos that come in, but they don't have any answers. an fbi representative said today they are not connecting this to any person or group. meanwhile, karine jean-pierre told reporters today to ask the fbi as well as dhs. so nobody seems to know exactly what ises going on right now. and our colleague, chad pergram, caught up with house speaker mike johnson and had an interesting exchange while talking about these drones earlier. >> we're working on that.

we need straight answers, obvious. we are concerned -- of course. we are concerned about drones and these new technologies and what it might mean for national security and the safety of the american citizen. i'm looking forward to the outcome of that hearing, and if we don't get the necessary answers there, we'll dig deeper and go to the classified -- >> reporter: any thought these might be dark programs? >> i don't -- i hope not. i don't believe so, but there's a lot of investigation going on, so we'll find out. >> reporter: we spoke with congressman jeff van drew of new jersey. he tells fox that he doesn't think the u.s. military is behind the drones and believes that it's very possible a foreign adversary is conducting surveillance. >> -- is one full decade the ahead of us. and if this shows us anything, it shows us that we need to do better. the d the od, the department of defense, is going to bring in a radar system that can better track these because right now we are deficient in our radar system to track them.

>> reporter: meanwhile, new jersey governor phil murphy called for meetings tomorrow with legislators, state police and the new jersey office of homeland security and preparedness. it will be two separate briefings led by governor murphy. they will begin at 10 a.m., and we will be there. back to you. elizabeth: nate foy, great journalism, as always. thanks some. let's bring in the chairman of house homeland security, congressman mark green. congressman, thanks for spending time with us on this story. what's going on sneer what more do we know about these drones? if. >> these drones could be from anyone, a recreational user, they could be from our adversaries that are spying on our infrastructure and the layout of our infrastructure, our military. we don't know. you're right, we don't know. the problem is, is that the authorizations are about to expire, so we've got legislation right now to renew those and to expand the authorizations that allow both doj and dhs.

and in this legislation, advance those the authorities to local authorities to actually watch these things and, in the case of where there's a threat, to destroy them. so we're work on that legislation are. it's my bill. we're going to make it happen. elizabeth: i mean, it's striking that we tonight have that legislation now. we hear you loud and clear. it's pretty scary. newark airport is there. it could interfere with flights. >> sure. elizabeth: what does it mean the minute you get eyes on them, they go dark? that's what new jersey governor murphy says about it, the minute you get eyes on them, they go dark. what does that mean? >> i would think that means that they're, you know, turning the out lights, turning off electronic, you know, systems that allow it to be perceived with, you know, detention -- detection devices. i don't know. my secure briefing on this is on, i think, thursday morning. so on this incident from new jersey. but the truth of the matter is,

is we need local authorities to have the authority to actually do stuff with this the, local law enforcement. right now it exists with doj, it exists with dhs particularly at the border, and they've had almost 3,000 incurlses at the border this year -- incursions. those cartel-related. but we need to ebb tend their authority and then grant authority to local law enforcement, and that's the key thing that we're trying to do right now. elizabeth: yeah. that's really important, what you just mentioned. that's really key. >> yeah. i mean, think about, you know, the football stadium. the nfl has been pushing this issue with us, protecting the people who are at a game. they've had drone incursions and, fortunately, these have just been individuals trying to get a great shot of the game. but what if it were a terrorist or something like that. that's why we have to grant the local law enforcement the ability to actually engage and get rid of the threat. elizabeth: well, thank goodness your -- you're on top of this. you're right, metlife stadium is

there. this top fbi official said today the fbi doesn't know who's operating these drones or whether they pose a national security risk. let's listen to to congressman austin pfluger from your house homeland security committee. listen to him today. watch. >> is the public at risk, is public safety at risk in are we concerned that there are nefarious intentions that could cause either national security or public safety incidents that would put americans at risk? >> there's nothing that the known that would -- that is moan that would lead me the say that. but we just don't know x. that's the concerning part. elizabeth: how soon, congressman, do you think we'll get answer out of new jersey if authorities on what's going on? >> well, i'm not sure that the new jersey authorities are going to have the access that doj and the dod and dhs have. hopefully they'll communicate, you know, those guys will communicate with the locals, but, look, we're going to know on thursday exactly what these

incident incidences specifically are. elizabeth: okay. we'll stay on top of it, chairman green. thanks for joining us. >> yeah, thanks for having us. see ya, liz are. >> reporter: -- members of congress and their spouses be -- [inaudible] trading stocks while in congress? >> no, to the second one. we have a responsibility to the report in the stock, on a stock, but i'm not familiar with that 5-month review. but if the people aren't reporting, they should be. elizabeth: okay, nancy pelosi talks capitalism and stock traders in congress that her family's been involved income she's going after trump tax cuts though as bad. she's in a battle royale with the far left, far-left democrats want top position on committees, but she and her family is have a record net worth because of these stock trades that her husband has been doing. political commentator stephanie

elizabeth: welcome back former speaker nancy pelosi battling far left to her party like alexandria

ocasio-cortez they want to be democrat ranking members on house committees taking on republicans and. there you, watch dogs say that pelosi has a bigger problem on her hand, joining us now stephanie hamill, pelosi net worth hit a record high, grew more than 10 times from 24 million just 16 years ago to more than 271 million bucks. what do you make of that record net worth for nancy pelosi? >> a mind boggling amount, as you pointed out, she first was elected to congress back in 1987. the pelosis were worth around 3 million dollars, average salary for member of congress is around 174 thousand dollars, for speaker of the house, a little bit more. but that does not add up, that begs the question whether or not it is ethical for members of congress to

do this type of stock trading, there have been calls over the years, for there to be a ban on this for members including families, here pelosi -- we hear pelosi say, i don't own any stocks, it is my husband, they are stock trading, it raises a lot of eyebrows people have been questioning it for years. elizabeth: show timeline of the stock trades of her husband, allegation they are pegged to action on legislation on capitol hill, that is difficult to ascertain, employ -- pelosi has shut down questions about that. so nancy pelosi is saying, this is pro capitalism, but she saids trump tax cuts, she is deriding and mocking them, what do you make of this. >> we hear these very wealthy leftists criticize donald trump's tax cuts, and

we know first term they worked for american people, you know it is pretty outrageous to hear them complaining about it again, as you pointed out members of congress have access to information and can make actions that average american does not have. again it really makes people question what is going on undermines public trust, and there is a reason why meaningful ledge lake has never been through on this, because other members are involved in this as well, not just pelosi who made a lot of money on stock trade. elizabeth: thank you so much stephanie hamill, dvr the "the evening edit," send it over to my buddies tammy and brian. brian: thank you, sure
