welcome to the "evening edit" i'm elizabeth macdonald. >> chaos is the point. chaos is the whole objective here. >> you've got chaos as describing it on capitol hill. >> chaos, right? complete and utter disarray. >> chaos on capitol hill. >> pure chaos out there. >> trump chaos and dysfunction is back, baby. liz: what a bunch of phonies right? what chaos, what are they talking about? republicans already reportedly struck a short-term spending deal to avoid a shutdown. details in moments. this is the big back story. the big news, house republicans want to stop the drama and the chaos. the pushing out trying to pushout the debt sealing for two years so trump can enact his agenda to fix america. now, democrats want to trap and block the trump agenda and things like tangled up fishing tackle pile of fights over spending like this. congressman jeff van drew is here to react in moments to the

new spending deal and the fight to stop spending that makes your taxes and cost of living go up and up and up, also, tonight, this story. >> do you think i'm on trial? these people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. i'm not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial. i'm just telling you. >> i'm sorry, what? >> i'm not going to emasculate a black man. did you understand that? i don't think i should go further. >> next question? >> trying to, your honor. >> let's be clear because you lied and i'll tell you which one you lied in right here. i think you lied right here. no, no, this is the truth, judge. it is a lie. it is a lie. >> i think we're going to take five minutes. liz: the breaking news today a major setback for fani willis who you just saw there. the georgia appeals court just kicked anti-trump d. a. fani willis off her georgia 2020 case. the details are coming up former house judiciary chief counsel will talk us to about why

this is a new embarrassing setback for fani willis and anti-trump lawfare, plus this story. >> i think that his fitness to serve is proven by him serving and serving with excellence and distinction, and continuing to lead the world. >> we have a very bold and vibrant president. >> you all called this the cheap fakes video and that's exactly what they are. they are cheap fakes video. liz: that was all misleading. tonight, the new york times finally admits in its report biden was not fit and capable to handle a short-term. media and democrats claimed he's sharp as a tack plus this new bombshell, white house aids did cover up and hide biden's decline from day one of his presidency so this is the debate. who was running the white house all this time? jill biden? joe concha is here to react to the details and the first lady was doing it all along but first

this. house gop lawmakers have struck a spending deal to avoid a shutdown plus the big one. they are pushing to extend the debt sealing for two years so trump can more rapidly move on the mandate voters gave him to fix america, stop inflation. the inflation has been stuck above the federal reserve's 2% target for 24 straight months. mike emanuel joins us live from the white house. mike, what's the latest? great to see you. reporter: liz, great to see you. with the clock ticking house republicans are out with a new proposal let's take a look at the key points. a clean three-month continuing resolution to keep the government up and running. a clean farm bill package. disaster package as negotiated with democrats to a tune of $110 billion, and that two-year suspension of the debt limit to january 2027. president-elect trump offering this reaction on truth social. "success in washington speaker mike johnson and the house have come up with it for a very good deal for the american people."

the newly-agreed to american relief act of 2024 will keep the government open, fund our great farmers and others and provide relief for those severely impacted by the devastating hurricanes. a very important piece vital to the america-first agenda was added as well. the data the very unnecessary debt sealing will be posted out two years to january 30, 2027. now we can make america great again very quickly which is what the people gave us a mandate to accomplish. all republicans and even the democrats should do what is best for our country and vote yes for this bill tonight. some democrats expressed frustration about the initial deal being derailed. >> we had a deal. we initiated a deal, and then musk decided to change the deal. should i call him president musk. >> with president biden out of the sight and the mix a key senate republican said us time to deliver what president-elect trump wants.

>> i think the next effort will be a much lienor cr, if the president wants to include the debt limit, we'll include the debt limit, but president trump's going to have to get involved. reporter: now, we wait to see if house democrats will get on board with this new funding package. liz? liz: mike emanuel thank you so much great to see you. >> thank you. >> this bill right here would add hundreds of billions of dollars to the deficit and the worst part is it's all for dem priorities. why would you saddle donald trump with this terrible spending bill before he even gets into office? it's a horrible plan. i can't believe that republican leadership ever cooked it up. clearly they didn't talk to trump about it and i tell you what. we need to have a serious look at whose leading this congress because if this is the best they could do, it's total incompetence. liz: that was gop senator josh

hawley slamming the first continuing resolution that got bogged down with inflationary pork and spending. let's bring in from house judiciary congressman jeff van drew. so, congressman, it's a pleasure, wonderful to see you again, merry christmas and happy hanukkah to everybody. is the government headed into a shutdown? can house republicans get this through without democrats, just get it done, because trump is really liking the pushback against for two years on the debt sealing, in order for him to do his agenda. do you guys need house democrats on this or are all republicans on board to get this done? >> hey, i always tell the truth and i am concerned, because when you have a majority as narrow as the one that we have, you never can say that it's a lock. i am hoping that everybody comes together. look, let me be straightforward. i'm a conservative. i don't even love this cr. the last one was awful. i came out immediately before anybody did and said that there's no way, no how i was voting for it. that was a bad deal.

liz: will you vote for this one? >> i am going to vote for this one because i want to give the president the room to be able to do what he needs to do as we go into january. we need some space. we need some room. do i love this , even like it? no. i don't like some of the spending that's in that cr, but the president has asked us to come together to get this done, to not shutdown government because we hurt people like our coast guard and then to move forward. next year, we need 12 real appropriations bills. next year, we really need to make the cuts that we need to make. not on good things, on the wasteful, fluff, and garbage put in these bills year after year. next year we need to be able to work at a balanced budget to have a real change and a real shake-up and the good way in america. liz: so, here is the thing. i mean, speaker johnson, according to trump, and republicans, they need to move decisively, be tough, get rid and avoid all the traps being

set by democrats. trump is saying that will economically destroy our country. they are trying to tangle up trump's agenda like tax cuts in spending fights, so are there any house republicans opposed to this new spending deal? >> we're going to see when the vote comes up tonight. liz: do you hear that though? >> there are some and i'm not going to contribute it to anybody absolutely that have mumbled they have real concerns and they don't like this either. at the end of the day, will they do the right thing and vote for it? i would hope they would. i understand what they're saying, as a fiscal conservative i'm concerned as well, but the president has asked for this. we've got to give him a break. we've got to give him some space so that when he is sworn into office we can immediately go to work to make it better. liz: congressman jeff van drew pleasure to have you on thanks, good to see you. >> thank you. >> well there's a lot to cut but i'm going to warn you i have republican colleagues who would rather run over their own mom

with a car than to vote to cut spending, so, first trick is going to come up with a list of things to cut. i would cut everything that's redundant. every state in the united states has a department of education. why do we need a federal department of education? cut out some of this foreign aid. oh, my gosh. it's like, you know, funding these other countries is like watering your neighbor's yard while your house is on fire. >> [laughter] >> when sunlight is put on these, when now elon and vivek talk about it and members of congress when we look at the bills the american people don't like what they see. >> the american people are paying zero attention to any of this , zero. liz: really, zero? i mean, trump just won a mandate. he won all of the seven swing states. he got a ton of votes because voters are saying you got to stop inflation. government spending is causing inflation but that

was msnbc claiming the american people not paying attention to inflationary over spending in government. let's welcome to the show america majority ceo ned ryun. what do you think of what you just heard from chris haze there? >> well that's insane. of course the american people are watching. they are watching the government spending being out of control. they are looking at a $36 trillion debt. i believe, liz, our annual interest payments on that debt are reaching about $1 trillion. i mean, this level of spending is out of control. it's unsustainable, and so i'm very happy with what took place. that was not a cr. that first version of that bill was a mini omnibus, they smeared lipstick on it trying to call it a cr. i'm deeply ashamed of the house republican leadership they tried to pull this on the american people, quite frankly tried to pull it on donald trump, and i appreciate what elon and vivek did and others to highlight what a disaster that bill was, and the thing, liz, that was about a

1,500 page bill. this new cr, 116 pages. about 1,400 pages of pork and censorship and unnecessary things were pulled out of that bill but mike johnson is a weak and miserable excuse for a speaker. he should never have even let that first version come anywhere near the public. liz: democrats are really mad they lost, right? trying to destroy trump's honeymoon right now, so what's going on right now is as you point outlook at what representative nancy mace pointed out and elon musk whose shining lights on. we hear the criticism. it's president elon musk and so forth. they are shining lights on the cr wanted to redefine things like violent criminals call them justice involved individuals including murders and rapists and there was all sorts of things loaded in there. $3 million to expect molasses, things like that, so it was difficult for people to say, you just need to keep the government open and running. what does that have to do with

that? i mean so the focus on elon musk with spotlights and what he's trying to do with the pork spending it is an issue. it's inflation and taxation, over spending causes that. >> it is. correct. i mean, government spending, out of control government spending is another tax on the american people on a whole host of fronts, but i think the american people need to understand. first of all they did vote for change. donald trump is a change agent but they voted for we're not doing this any more. we are not putting up with the status quo. the greatest enemies for doge being successful, not the democrats. it's members of congress, republican members of congress, we have seen the enemy and we know who they are. it is republicans who think we're going to continue with the status quo. liz: yeah, i mean, trump, they are saying elon musk saying he's going to fund trying to primary candidates who go up against the need to cut spending. trump is saying that too. house republicans are voting tonight. we'll see who peels off or supports it.

ned ryun thank you for joining us good to see you. >> thanks liz. >> there is so much misinformation, disinformation as we've been talking about, you talked about the video the president wandering and it's not true, right? the president wasn't wandering. he was talking to a parachuter that was right in front of him. liz: remember that the biden white house press secretary democrats, the media. they kept repeatedly claiming biden was totally competent to serve a short-term but the new york times reports he was not. the "wall street journal" and a new bombshell reveals the biden white house and his aids covered up biden's decline right from the start. tonight, you'll want to hear joe concha's reaction to all that. this is the biggest falsehood of all. the cherry on top of a pile of biden's long-running script of falsehoods covering up his decline. also tonight this. >> inflation is coming now. >> the fact is that we have seen inflation coming down. >> inflation is reliably coming

down. >> mr. president, the inflation. >> yes, yes, yes. liz: no, it is not. america is seeing 22% compounded inflation under biden. you just heard the off the wall claims from democrats and the media that trump is inheriting a great economy from biden. breaking news the congressional budget office says no he is not. trump is inheriting a bad economy from biden. lisa booth joins us tonight on the details of what the cbo is now saying. also this new report. texas is out maneuvering biden big time in court to get back that border wall biden is trying to auction and sell-off to ruin it for trump. the update on texas hold'em, out-pokerring biden in court. former nypd bill stanton is a top official there and joins us to break it down but first this story. >> mr. wade is used to women that as he told me one-time, only thing a woman can do for him is make him a family. i don't need anything from a

man. a man is not a plan. a man is a companion. i don't need anybody to foot my bills. the only man whose ever foot my bills completely is my daddy. liz: okay, georgia appeals court just gave fani willis the boot. the court kicked d. a. fani willis off her georgia 2020 case against president trump. former house judiciary chief counsel julian epstein will talk about the fall out of that coming up next. we're moving on the news this hour we've got a lot of action. please don't go away. we will be back in two. >> i did hear the arguments this morning. it's ridiculous to me that you lied on monday and yet here we still are. >> so let's be clear because you lied in this i'll tell you which one you lied in. right here. i think you lied right here. no, no, no, this is the truth, judge. it is a lie. it is a lie. >> i think we're going to take five minutes.

georgia is already vowing to fight this. they filed a notice to appeal willis and her office's disqualification but as of right now they are all out. the georgia appeals court said in their ruling today that her relationship with her former special prosecutor nathan wade had a "significant appearance of impropriety." you may remember earlier this year when her romantic relationship with wade was exposed causing some major issues and a big halt in the case. wade development stepped down per the judge's orders but now again nobody in the fulton don't it d. a.'s office can prosecute this case. the court says, "after carefully considering the trial court's findings in this order, we conclude that by failing to disqualified d. a. willis and her office" and in an exclusive interview with fox news digital trump said the whole case has been a disgrace to justice. it was started by the biden doj as an attack on his political opponent, donald trump.

they used anyone and anybody and she has been disqualified and he and her boyfriend has been disqualified and they stole funds and went on trips but again the court did not drop the indictment all together. the prosecuting attorneys counsel of georgia does have the ability to find another prosecutor to take over the case and decide whether to pursue it going forward, but legal experts tell us that they believe that is unlikely and we did reach out to the fulton county d. a.'s office for a response and we have not heard back but former new york city mayor rudy giuliani is one of trump's co-defendants in this case. i spoke to his attorney earlier today who tells me "this case is not dead but definitely on life support." back to you. liz: let's welcome to the show julian epstein. julian has 15 years of capitol hill experience. he served as the former chief counsel for house judiciary during the clinton impeachment. julian, great to see you again. what do you make of this?

this is a bombshell. >> it is a bombshell but i think it was also predictable and this case is dead because of what appears to be pretty significant corruption on the part of the prosecutor in the sense of a kickback scheme and also potential perjury about the kickback scheme. if you believe in the age of zelle and apple pay she was reimbursing her paramore in cash, i think a lot of people find that hard to believe so i think this case is dead. i think there is apparent corruption here, and i think it will be upheld on appeal, but there's a much bigger story, liz, here. there's a story of one man and donald trump, this being yet another example of it, defeating an entire left wing lawfare industry that was not just in credibly financed into the tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer money, but was also supported by one party, my party, the democratic party and by the mainstream media and

this one man has defeated not just in this case but i think he will prevail in the two new york cases, the alvin bragg and the letitia james cases which were prosecutions and civil cases that have never been used. that fact pattern has never been used against a u.s. citizen ever in the history of this country, so not only is this a story of one man defeating the lawfare complex. the bigger story is democrats undertook this lawfare campaign under the theory they were protecting democracy but the public faith in the judicial system as a result after these cases is that the lowest level ever and the idea that the democrats and the left use the legal system, not just in this case, in a way that looks to have been corrupt but in the two new york cases again, cases fact patterns that have never been used against a u.s. politician, or a u.s. citizen. you combine that sort of with the ballot access case where the democrats tried to keep

trump off the ballot and what these cases have actually done is they've undermined democracy. they have undermined the rule of law. they have undermined it in the sense that these were clearly political applications of the law to which we don't know where that ends, and the irony of all of this is not only has one man defeated it but the democrats have really hurt the rule of law and the democratic institutions in a much more significant way, mostly because of their morals and when you moralize and you sort of demonize the other side, you stop thinking rationally and that's what's happened to the left. liz: you get caught up in emotion and ambition. i mean, fani willis has a trail of wreckage in georgia. you know, this was a complex case, the trump case. she has a history of filing numerous overly-broad buck shot racketeering cases that are a stretch and an over reach. i mean, defense lawyers in georgia call fani willis overly ambitious. they have called it icarus.

ashley merchant, the lawyer who uncovered willis's secret love aware with nathan wade, who she hired to put on the trump case and used taxpayer money to go on vacations, the irony is this lawyer thinks president trump might go after fani willis for services fraud. that's a federal crime. that is a type of a rico charge. those are the cases that fani willis likes to bring. >> our services cases are hard to bring after supreme court decision several years ago, but look. i think there has been abuse here. i think importantly judge mershawn in new york has been very abusive as the sitting judge in that case and la trisha james has been abusive in her case so there's some answering these prosecutors have coming in the next few months. liz: julian epstein thanks for joining us good to see you. >> thank you, liz. >> let's call this the great biden christmas border wall heist that president trump with a little help from his friends

in texas stopped and caught them red handed. don't mess with trump and don't mess with texas. liz: don't mess with texas. texas' lt. governor now says he's stopping biden's border wall auctions in court. this is texas out-pokerring biden former nypd bill stanton is here to react to that. also tonight this story. >> you all call this the cheap fakes video and that's exactly what they are. they are cheap fakes video, done in bad faith, misleading videos to attack biden in a 24 hour period. we're seeing deep fakes, these manipulated videos, and it is, again, done in bad faith. liz: wow this is really bad stuff. remember when the white house, you saw it there, and the media straight up lied to you about joe biden's cognitive decline. the new york times is finally admitting what's been known all along that he has been in

cognitive decline. the "wall street journal" in a bombshell report now says that it started from day one, so whose been leading the country? jill biden? we're going to get into the details with joe concha but first, the congressional budget office now admits the biden economy is bad. that trump is inheriting a bad economy. biden and the white house and media have been saying it's a good economy. lisa booth has a lot to say on this. we'll be right back after the break. >> it's a term we're very proud of i must tell you, because bidenomics is working. it's working. >> bidenomics is just another way of saying restoring the american dream. >> that's not an accident. that's bidenomics at work.

the debate is going to start momentarily. the vote likely will happen in the 6:00 p.m. hour eastern time. they need two to three votes to pass. democrat leaders urging a ney vote a big battle royale. we'll keep you updated on that. now let's move to this. >> let's call this the great biden christmas border wall heist that president trump with a little help from his friends in texas stopped and caught them red handed. the auctioneer told us if for some reason it comes up for auction they will call texas first and biden will just, you know, get it over to president trump when he comes in, or when he takes office. he will figure out how to get all that wall back. don't mess with trump and don't mess with texas. liz: don't mess with texas. texas lt. governor dan patrick, you just saw him there talking about his fight in court to get the border wall back, that biden was auctioning. trump is telling biden stop doing that. we need the border wall. so texas is trying to get that border material back and put it

on hold and then give it to trump. joining us now retired new york police department officer bill stanton. bill, what do you make of this fight? >> i think it is ridiculous and it is political spite fullness in my opinion done on a taxpayer's wallet and back, so we paid for this wall. our security, our home, the usa, for the biden administration to only auction it off for it to be repurchased again. that's the equivalent of the government wanting to auction off our front doors and all the locks to our house. it makes absolutely no sense, pure spitefullness. liz: you're saying what biden is doing is pure spitefullness. >> political spitefullness done at the cost and at the danger of the united states taxpayer and united states citizen. liz: bill, how important is a border wall? because we have another major caravan of illegal aliens coming

out of guatemala through mexico and they want in before president is inaugurated. how important is a wall? >> it is as important as the front door of your home. these folks that are coming into the country illegally, not legally illegally, we don't know their backgrounds, their criminal history. yes, they are all good people, but guess what? there are ways to come in. there are legal ways to come into this country. getting visas, legal ways to seek asylum but as we see in every state across the land, illegal immigrants that are pedophiles, murdering, drunk driving and killing people. you know, how many americans have to die in order for certain politicians to say enough is enough. apparently not enough, because they are looking to sell-off a wall that protects us which is just one layer to protect us against the invasion coming into this country. liz: bill stanton, thanks for being with us good to see you.

>> thank you, liz. >> president-elect trump is receiving the strongest economy in modern history which is the envy of the world. >> so the president is inheriting a very good economy, a very stable economy. corporate america is talking about a lot of expansion and capital expenditures for next year, about repatriating more jobs back to the united states, about building more factories in the united states, hiring more workers. liz: okay, the media, biden, the white house, they kept claiming trump is inheriting a strong economy from biden, but now the congressional budget office says no. trump is inheriting a slowing economy, stubborn inflation, rising jobless rates for president biden. joining us now fox news political analyst lisa booth. list a is great to see you. so they are still insisting the economy is strong. that's one of the reasons they lost the election. >> it's the number one reason they lost the election. donald trump said that success will unite this country, but i

would also argue that joe biden's failure has united the country, because americans came together and voted for change for that reason. look, the reality is that democrats want to talk about these abstract things like the gdp and stock market all these different things but when americans are experiencing 20% inflation, and the average family of four are spending $1,400 more per-month than they did in january 2021, that is something that they are experiencing in realtime that it's hitting them in the pocket book. every time they go and purchase an item or they pay a bill, they are realizing they are paying more which is why they wanted donald trump to get back into office, and joe biden for the longest time has had this oh, i'm scranton joe. he was scranton joe for 11 years until his family moved to delaware in 1953. he has been d.c. biden for over 50 years and that's why we have seen such failure under his administration because he has not lived in the real-world. he's been insulated by being in the swamp and washington d.c.

liz: the cbo reports says u.s. gdp will slow down from 2.3% this year to 1.9% next year and slip to 1.8% in 2026. i mean, we had a third quarter 2.8 but the cbo is saying the economy is slowing down and wait for this. the cbo says the u.s. will only add around 50,000 jobs a month by 2026. the unemployment rate will tick up to 4.4. this is not good news. this is out of the cbo the media and democrats kept touting. >> well yeah, and that's why i have confidence that with this new administration with the incoming president-elect donald trump, look, i think in part the reason why the biden administration failed as i pointed out joe biden has been in political office in d.c. for over 50 years. a lot of the people on his economic team, these are people who have been in academia or who have worked in government their entire lives whereas if you look at donald trump, he's a

business guy. this is a guy whose had to solve problems for a living, who has had to deal with consequences of failure and also surrounded himself with if you look at the people he's picked, with people who also have business experience with people who problem solve for a living who have to deal in the real-world and the real life not in abstract thinking, and you know, theories and all this different stuff so i have full confidence that we're going to have an incoming administration that knows what they are doing that's going to be able to turn this economy around. i would also make the point with joe biden. when he walks into political office, inflation or the presidency rather, inflation was at 1.4%. liz: right. >> and then he lied to the american people by saying he was reducing the inflation with something with the inflation reduction act which is going to cost us over a trillion dollars in a decade alone and then admitted later oh, actually that's about the climate. that's not even going to address inflation, right? so he lied to us. he armed us, but now, you know, he's kicked to the curb.

liz: he also inherited like 4.5% gdp growth, lisa boothe, you're terrific. let's recap the news at the top of the hour. the house republicans are now hashing out a new interim spending bill that has knocked out all of that pork and it would pushback the debt sealing for two years and a major effort to get trump's agenda enacted in that two year time and not trap the trump agenda in spending fights. that's the democrat trap. let's wait for this next story. >> we'll have a peaceful transfer of power here in america. >> and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power. >> [applause] >> we believe in the peaceful transfer of power. liz: okay, well, reports of a peaceful transition exaggerated. biden is now trying to impose a bunch of last minute regulations and climate moves before trump takes office. why is he even trying? we've got the details coming up.

also this. >> we have a very bold and vibrant president in joe biden. the way that the president's demeanor in that report was characterized could not be more wrong on the facts and clearly politically motivated. >> he is an extraordinary leader and i wish people could see what i see. liz: well the biden bullying, the biden propaganda has stopped, full stop. the new york times finally reports joe biden is not fit for a second term, his mental acuity, cognitive decline is bad. joe concha is going to take that on, plus the bombshell out of the "wall street journal" that biden's decline was starting from day one. that's according to insiders in the biden white house. let's check in first with our friends tammy bruce in for dagen mcdowell and brian brenberg, want to see what's coming up on the bottom line. brian: liz, yeah, you bet.

so you've got that new spending bill supposed to be a little skinnier but is it going to pass? we'll talk about that with congressman andy harris, and then all this biden stuff about is he fit or not. we're finding out how they really hid his condition, kt mcfarland is here to weigh in on that. >> yes, and mark morano andy an prior as we deal with the woke stuff going on, dei, and what we've got coming ahead in the next year so all this next up together, we've got the info for you. -hey there. -hey. -hi. hey there. how are you? i'm with disabled american veterans. i was wondering if you had a quick minute to thank america's veterans for their service and sacrifices -of course, why not? -oh, sure. -absolutely. -sure.

>> there is so much misinformation/disinformation as we've been talking about, you talked about the video of the president wandering and it's not true. >> yeah, and i think you all have called this the cheap fakes video and that's exactly what they are. they are cheap fakes video. >> the reality is nothing like the distopian picture the republicans are trying to paint of this , you know, president and it's just sharp as a tack. >> and biden is actually in good shape. >> what we found is that the shell around biden was kind of always hard but became harder and thicker and the walls became taller. liz: i mean, that was first you saw biden's press sebaceous andd

the media reporting he's sharp as a tack and now the new york times reports biden could not handle a second term for another four years and let's welcome joe concha. what do you make of that story. times is reporting that a month after the election. >> yeah, it's not a story, liz, because we've been talking about it on this show on this network for three and a half years. you could go back to the 2020 election and see that joe biden's brain was beginning to turn to applesauce and he had no business running for president. karine jean-pierre that's a piece of work i'm so glad your team found those clips. she's going to be an awesome co-host on the view in about three months i would imagine because that show be perfect for her, but overall, we all saw what we saw. it was such an insult to our intelligence when joe biden is shaking hands with the air, can't find his way off stage, is not remembering the names of his own cabinet members, said he was talking to leaders that died years ago. this is pretty obvious stuff that we saw that we were told nope, don't believe your eyes.

liz: joe the "wall street journal" out with this bombshell report the biden white house right from the beginning from the start covered up biden's decline, that they knew they were working with "a diminished biden" that white house aids kept meetings short with biden and tightly controlled media access and any access to biden. they acted ago-between flags to stop any embarrassing public interactions involving biden. everything became way more scripted and buttoned down. >> yeah, scripted is a perfect word to describe the biden presidency in general, right? he hasn't done one press conference this entire year, liz. that shows you he can't speak outside of a teleprompter, outside of a script and the fact these aids did this and tried to get him over the finish line before that debate exposed him in june, boy, i guess they wouldn't think of the future of the country now were they just about their own power and selves. liz: it's something. wow joe concha we look forward to reading your next column thanks for joining us. >> merry christmas, bye.

is president biden trying to make it hard for president-elect trump to take office, joining us now "new york post" columnist jon levine. biden just set a new u.s. climate target to slash u.s. emissions by 60% in 10 years, signed a deal with government's biggest unions to let government workers keep working from home, through october biden white house published 300 economically significant rules costing 200 million a piece. what do you think. >> i mean this is petty and vindictive and a way to spike him on his last days in white house. at the end of the day none of this will matter, president trump on day one there will be a blizzard of executive orders that whip these away, president biden tying to put in themes that sound popular and cause trump ag vague by having --

aggravation by having to repeal it. elizabeth: the end of the dark period the biden years of lawfare, over spending of a personal attacks of bullying of shutting down the media, cutting off access. "wall street journal" reports that he was in cognitive decline from day one, they covered it up, cut off access to media, who was running it, jill biden? >> i know on fox news "new york post" we have been reporting about his cognitive decline since day one, we know it was not news to us, american people, we're moving in a great new chapter, this is a terrible era we're closing. there is a lot of prey forms that -- reforms that need to happen, you will see a wave of energy return to white house and country. elizabeth: new way of governing. >> absolutely. elizabeth: right now, house republicans are in a fight

to get an interim spending bill to extend debt ceiling for two years so trump can move n fast on his agenda. we'll see if any peal away, democrats, incompetent let's saying it is president elon musk or things like you don't get your social security checks, those are separate buckets from this resolution fight. take on what is happening right now in dc . >> i think there is a mandate to cut back and spend less from the american people. it was always inappropriate to shove through bloats 1500 page spending bill that nobody wanted that was full of lobbyist and special interest you know goodies. president trump is right to demand a pared down bill, this new bill, i believe house republicans have agreed to does fund the government. it has to get passed a democratic control senate, it remains to be seen whether that leader schumer will go for it time will

tell.ism maybe it getting pushed who know. we'll see what happens. it is a new day for dc and america jon levine we appreciate you, we know you are a great writer, we'll have you on more, new york posthas been out in front. and the stories about what has been going on with fights between democrats and trump. >> thank you. elizabeth: i am elizabeth macdonald thank you for watching, "the evening edit," on fox business. we hope you enjoyed the show, do not fore get to so do not forget to dvr us, we send it to tammy bruce and brian brenberg on the "the bottom line."
