liz: that's right. stuart: liz, thank you for , you had to get up very early. liz: yes, i did.s a pleasure. stuart: don't be a stranger to us. liz: i won't. stuart: there's seat any time. liz: we'll be back. i hope. stuart: all right we'll be watching you on the "evening edit", 5 p.m. eastern here on fox business. biden has announced pardons for nearly 2,500 non-violent drug offenders. lauren? apparently, he's not ruling out more pardons. lauren: could be more he's got a few days left to do so. the president says on this latest pardon, this action is an important step toward writing historic wrongs. correcting sentencing disparities and providing deserving individuals the opportunity to return to their families and communities after spending far too much time behind bars. so, he is commuting the sentences of nearly 2,500 inmates convicted of non-violent drug offenses and they were were sentenced under holder more harsh laws so he's commuted more individuals than any other president. stuart: he's not ruling out more pardons which means the family could be pardoned. lauren: or pr

maria: liz peek, your thoughts?, look, i mean, this is just politically provocative to put it mildly and you know, remember that joe biden ran to bring the country together. he goes out as divisive as he has ever been, maria. this is such a finger in the high ' eye of over half the country. remember, who voted for donald trump. so joe hasn't quite gotten it in his mind yet. he has been rejected. his policies and his politics have been repute re repudiated e american people. he hasn't gotten the message. maria: we have a lot to come in the hour, stay with us. r you'reig watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. wanna see?

liz: you can see that within him. tell me about your situation, when did you first get evacuated were you in a panic, what did you grab, your home thankfully has been saved by doctor griffis, reach back to a couple of days ago. >> we have so many fires in so many things happen that we start to roll her eyes at this evacuation orders. in malibu with every fire that we had is never cost the pch. for the most part a lot of the beach roll their eyes attack would happen don't worry. in the heat of the fire, the winds when people started leaving the first thought we have to find a place to stay until they let us back in. no one stayed three weeks or for good. nobody knows how to handle it it's so bad the world to get how bad it is. >> were looking at a stretch by your home that was saved is complete desolation maybe if the camera crew can pan back right to the house, as i understand it that is john's house. we have a camera on your house right now. that is certainly i'm sure comfort but tell me how do you feel regarding tho

anthony fauci, general millie, liz cheney. >> and police officers who had spoken out as well from the capitol police. let's go right to peter alexander. this just broke tone minutes ago, peter. what do you know? >> president biden even yesterday was seriously considering using this extraordinary presidential power to preemptively pardon some individuals. he has decided to do that to guard against any potential revenge by the incoming president trump. president biden just announcing, as you know, that he is pardoning dr. anthony fauci, retired general mark millie and members of the house committee including liz cheney, adam schiff, adam kinsinger. he writes, they are the life blood of our democracy. yet alarmingly, he adds, public servants have been subjected to i don't know going threats for faithfully discharging their duties. notably, his last comments in this statement adds these pardons should not be mistaken that acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance by them be considered an admission of guilt for any offense. he says our nation owes

consternation of my guest today, the actor and disability rights campaigner liz carr. is the focus on a good death detracting from the right to a good life? liz carr, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. been kind of looking forward to this. stephen chuckles. well, let's see if you feel that way in 25 minutes�* time. 0k, yes, let's see. you have faced enormous health challenges in your life, but you sit here as a successful stand—up comedian, a very successful actor, and ijust wonder if that reflects on a sort of innate positivity in your nature. oh, no, not at all. i'm deeply bleak. i think when i was about 13, my consultant said to me, "you won't live to be old." and that is impacting on a huge level, because once you're told that, you... every day becomes your potential last day. so my poor partner, you know, every day... or if i feel something, ifeel a bit poorly, i'm really frightened. i have been ill, quite ill in my life, but being told things like that, and...and i think a perception of, gosh, if you look like that, you're... you know, are you 0k? and i do get peopl

liz: cheney out on the road. that was their closing message. like liz cheney handling our foreign policy. and polling showed that was actually a net negative with people on that campaign. maria: right. >> so liz cheney, as awful as her behavior has been in these last few years, she did give republicans this gift of taking her very unpopular, politically-toxic, neo-con interventionism and moving it from the republican party now firmly into the democrat party. so for that, republicans can be thankful. maria: unbelievable. and to also note, the highest civilian award going to hillary clinton and george sor process, democrats' biggest donor, mollie. >> again, george soros is getting this award for how he has helped democrats where with their political activity. but did the biden administration if at all a think about this? one of soros' biggest things that he's done in recent years was putting in these prosecutors who are very soft on crime, unwilling to go after people who commit if crimes even as they go after people who done commit crimes. and t

and i feel like liz cheney is just useful for democrats. and i have to remind people that if she ran for president in 2028, january 6th would be forgotten. her integrity and character in this moment and the moments that followed january 6th would not matter for her. she would be a monster for democrats, because if mitt romney told us anything, it's that you can be one of the most decent, kindest, honorable people in politics and still be called a monster, a sexist monster who was going to kill your dog. right. so it feels deeply disingenuous. it definitely feels political to me. and i like liz cheney. i am a fan, but this was an awful day. let's not make and score political points and exploit it on our way out of office. >> bakari. >> yeah, i mean, i don't know, and i can't disagree with s.e., really, and i don't think this is a time where we're trying to necessarily disagree with each other about what what happened in 2028, because we're so far away from that. democrats have to focus on what's going to happen in virginia or new jersey. and

liz: it is how obviously, is this? the media the media took this tariff story, creates a about -- everything that price of everything is going to the ceiling inflation coming back, if you do blanket tariffs you give up totally the strategic opportunity of using tariffs for all kinds of reasons trump did very successfully first four years i think great gad they said this seems obviously, outcome. maria: totally agree with you a short break when we come back into the agenda, we've got a "fox business" exclusive coming up later in the show, 1789 cal partner donald trump, jr., is here with company president on their new spec deal acquisition of a firearm retailer wait till you here what about to announce in 20 minutes' time exclusively on this program join me for donald trump jr., bill hagerty here pushing congress to approve one big beautiful bill. what are the priorities, we talk about it coming up you are watching "mornings with maria" live on "fox business" stay with us. ke a swing at yourn reno... we meant that litera
