the 2020 gao report stated, absent additional action, some v.a. employees may continue to distrust v.a. handling of sexual harassment allegations. additional reports take back decades on this subject which exposed many of the same problems, and distrust. the equal employment opportunity commission found that both the departmentwide eeo director in the eeo program managers at the v.a. are misaligned, creating the perception there is a conflict of interest among v.a. workforce. further, v.a. policies are not consistent throughout the agency and are missing crucial information such as including all options employees have for reporting sexual harassment, not to mention data collected from sexual harassment complaint and reports are incomplete. v.a. must create a culture where employees are not stifled against reporting workplace harassment. sexual-harassment is underreported. department leaders must work with the equal employment opportunity commission to implement compliance policies and procedures in order to ensure a safe, healthy and supportive wo

so again the gao is basically cdc is coming out ahead of what the gao is going to slam them for next this. watch. >> i think they need to step back and get back into the advice game, not the mandate game. i think it ironic we won't let the world's greatest tennis player because he is not vaccinated djokovic yet we'll let thousands ane in unvaccinat. talk about hypocrisy. maybe talk to the cdc about that. elizabeth: really appalling what is going on in our nation. we're supposed to follow the leaders who shut down the u.s. economy, threw 22 million people out of work, right? and then they allowed basically defund the police, they allowed crime to skyrocket, victimizing americans. now we got the biden white house are going to start next week, they will say no covid-19 vaccination proof tests inside of the government starting next week. so that is what is happening coming up what took them so long? >> well, they have been painting themselves into a corner looking for an escape. when you look what they said suddenly, don't have to quarantine, isolate, mask, test, that recommendation was

over the past year, the gao has released a number of reports on the federal spectrum. all to improve their collaboration on spectrum planning. can you talk on that? i am not sure if you saw the page that was signed monday by mr. davidson and the chair. can you comment on that as well if you have seen it? and any other coronation issues beyond just spectrum policy, i think there is a whole host of areas where federal agencies, particularly those two agencies need better coordination for efficiency in our spectrum. we will host a summit next week with the sec, and tia all up in alaska, other federal agencies on this issue of ordination and the deployment of federal funds. >> absolutely so. we were really looking for the agencies to shore up their collaboration processes. i think it is a great first step. they read our report, they gave a lot of comments on. one of the reclamation's we did make that is not really reflected is related to and tia and how it coordinate with other federal agencies. one of the things we thought was important was they document so they can under

the gao concluded there was often improper supervision.ed and vehicles inadequately inspected. some accidents involved multiple factors, as was the case with christopher bobby gnem, a navy sailor. these are screams of joy from bobby's mom, nancy, when he surprised her one christmas. a year and a half later, in the summer of 2020, he and 15 marines were training off camp pendleton in amphibious assault vehicles, or aavs like these. giant armored vessels marines used on both land and sea. his stepdad, peter vienna, says the marines had no business sending out the aavs used in his son's drill. >> they're 40 years old. and they were in terrible condition. and instead of asking for better conditions aavs, which there were, there were plenty of them, they had gotten these -- all of them that were in poor condition. >> so they're sitting in a parking lot on camp pendleton, baking in the sun. they're deteriorating. >> reporter: peter ostrovsky's son, jack ryan, was also on that mission. >> a week prior to the mission we were speaking on the teleph

your office has received recommendations from both the inspector general and the gao on both ppp and covid eidl, many of which are pretty common sense, including continually assessing the covid eidl program and developing portfolio level data analytics help identify fraudulent loans and fraud risk factors. yet these recommendations and others have remained open for more than a year while watchdogs have identified billions in fraud, and law enforcement prosecutes fraud case after fraud case. i've heard from a lot of iowans who said that ppp and covid eidl loans were helpful for them in the early days of the pandemic, but when we listen to inspector general where, he's right when he says that ppp and covid eidl have unprecedented levels of fraud. so it has been helpful but there's a lot of fraud ongoing in these programs. we've all seen this story about the bmw with a license plate ppp loan. this is manhattan in new york, and we have seen so many of these cases. i don't think the program was her for folks to buy brand-new vehicles. but as a programs would driving down and they're stick

chris horner, a lawyer who represents gao told fox news digital, quote.del used a couple of pass-throughs by which decaprio and dan emmet and others could run things including decaprio's. not seen as financing the assault. all of this, of course, leading to a question of transparency and irony to some degree. here is legal expert brian claypool. >> isn't it ironic that leonardo decaprio and his foundation is funding a law firm to sue big oil companies for alleged deception when he/him veryself, is deceiving the public on where these charitable contributions are going. >> also leonardo decaprio is one of the many celebrities who has been dubbed a climate hypocrite. even though he goes on about climate change and the importance of fighting it he was seen on vacation on auto super yacht that stretched roughly 31, belches out a lot of carbon, sean? >> sean: yes, it does. thank you, christina. never something new just ask mike rowe and his mom? they join me next. ♪ leon's saving up for his first set of wheels... nice try. really? this leon's paying for his pai

between 2009 and 2011, a gao report discovered that irs agents had 11 unintentional discharges of their firearms because apparently they get no training. they actually discovered this gao report released in 2018, they discovered that these criminal division irs agents actually discharged their weapons accidentally more than they intentionally fired them. now, this is the same government agency that was found to have only answered the phone 19% to 20% of the time. democrats' response is to hire more of these people and arm them more? that's insane. >> brian: if you've ever done your tax forms, done your tax forms, the most honest person in the world can be found to be a tax cheat. that's how complex this stuff is. look out. i'm so disappointed. >> abolish the irs. >> brian: so disappointed that joe manchin signed off on this. >> me too. >> brian: tucker carlson originals, he investigates one of the strangest mysteries you've never heard of. unexplained animal mutilations. it's called "cattle mutilations. one of the most well-known cases involves a horse. you won't believe this story. can

the gao found a few allocating agencies had requirements to guard against the misrepresentation of costs and the gao also found weaknesses in the data quality and inconsistencies in the practice not including the full extent of costs. the gao also found particularly related to the lenders uc berkeley is innovation estimates each additional lender as an additional $6,400 in cost per units. lawsuits also delay affordable development. in california against affordable housing they are often found in the offices of california environmental quality act which is recognized within the states to block and delay the development rather than being used for the express purpose of protecting the environment. i recommend congress visit the recommendations including those that are collected and analyzed by a single federal entity. american home affordability can be increased by the adoption of low-cost techniques improving efficiencies in helping state and local agencies to create acceptable opportunities in areas of high demand. thank you so much. >> thank you. mr. roberts. >> thank you for your leader

i was talking to victor gao this week who is saying it's just a continuity, there's always been a nationalty law, and you can criticise the british for lots of things, there was clearly no democracy in hong kong before the handover, they were heading towards some elective process but it hadn't really been on the agenda. but it clearly wasn't the hong kong under the british, and what china is now doing, it's not even what china was doing ten years ago. that has changed the calculation. completely, because no—one believed china and what they would do - to taiwan if they occupied — first the taiwanese military| is quite strong, it has very. advanced military equipment from the us. and also, the latest war waged i by china in 1979 against vietnam was a resounding defeat. we are not sure of the preparedness and how good they are. _ but hong kong is a real warning that china is an authoritarian _ regime, if we forget it. 0n the whole, the americans, the official admitted _ democrat american administration, as isabel said. _ pelosi imposed it herself. so i don't think we are heading really for a

they actually discovered this gao report that was released iny 2018. n they discover that these criminal division irs agents actually dischargent their weapons accidentally more than they intentionally fired them. nowen this is the same government agency that was found tore have only answered the phone 18 toe 20% of i the time. and so democrats response is to hire more of these people and arm them more . that's the same. and just keep in mind people listening right now. ever done if you've ever done your own taxes, if you've seen these tax forms, the most honest persone in the world can be found to c be aan tax cheat on something if somebody wants to do it, that's how complex this stuff is . look out. i'm so disappointed. joe manchin s, the irs. yeah, i'm so disappointed joe manchin signed off on thishi .s.s.>> dana bash, thank you so much. meanwhile, for a brand new episode of tucker's documentary series, tucker carlson originals tucker investigates one the strangest mysteries you probably never heard of unexplained animal mutilations. the episode is

will asian, for example, as victor gao believes lafayette on the stony a will regret their decisions. i think it reflects that these 3 baltic countries really, 1st of all, think too much of themselves. they are very, very small economists on the global scale and whatever they do will not make a big ripple in international economic and trade relations. on the other hand, let me warm these 3 baltic countries that it is wise to be hostile to one of the largest they call them is in the world. after all, china is the largest economy by purchasing power parity and china's the 2nd largest economy. by a few, jo, eccentric next to the united states and china is the largest the treating nation with more than $130.00 nations in the world. it will be actually in the problem, the minds of interest of countries like the old as tonia, the doing the m and b, m to work together with china and other countries in eastern or central european redo for mutual benefit. international cooperation will definitely be mutually beneficial. however, the way these 3 baltic countries handled themselves in dealing wi

now to victor gao, vice president of the center for china and globalization, thinktank unsure, a professor of su chow university. you are most welcome. why do you think that if you tell in an riga have quit the cooperation group with china for zillow, it's very unfortunate. secondly, i think it reflects that these 3 baltic countries, really, 1st of all, think too much of themselves. there are very, very small economies on the global scale and whatever they do will not make a big ripple in international economic and trade relations. on the other hand, let me warm these 3 baltic countries that it is wise to be hostile to one of the largest they call them is in the world. after all. time is the largest economy by purchasing power parity, and china is the 2nd largest economy by official exchange for next only to the united states. and china is the largest, the trading nation, with more than $130.00 nations in the world. it will be actually in the problem, the minds of interest of countries like york as tonia, the doing the and the last b, m 2 worked together with china and other countries in y

let's get the thoughts now from the vice president of the center for china and globalization. victor gao, joining us here on our team to national a very good evening to use back in washington. pelosi supporters, a calling this high risk and a high reward. what kind of reward can we talk about you think? i don't think there will be any rewards except for her personal reward. for example, if that's what you is looking for. nancy pelosi now inc. type a is completely disregard the repeated counseling by the us president joe biden. timing was not right for her to really pie one. she is completely disregarding counseling from the u. s. u. s. military leaders council not to go, because the wrong time me and she completely disregarded the repeated waldis by the chinese government. because china says our visit will hollow out the one china policy will be in violation of the one china policy and will really cause more damage to china us relations. so she is today and tonight she troublemaker in the whole world because she disregarded sanity judgment. and the rash analogy in pursuing her personal g

from that 2017 gao report have 500 million rounds of ammo. >> on hand and just bought more. >> harris in the world would they need that for? >> they were training for the enforcement. at least that's the thinking if you look deeply into it. >> harris: that's an army. >> a guard that will be unleashed again. joe biden said he would grow the middle class, harris and unite the country. instead you have a government targeting the citizens and now arming this guard to go out and grab all the cash they can by any means necessary. americans should take a deep and hard look at this and consider what is happening before your eyes and where the money is going. as one of those people interviewed just said, why does this goes? it goes to china who makes most of the solar panels and the batteries that charge these electric cars that you are paying. >> harris: that's an agenda-driven spend, a green energy driven spend and coming from the far left but there must be some complicity in more moderates in the democrat party to have this happen under biden's watch, too. there must be. >> 9 billion in wel

in april, a gao report said the feds needed to improve the way it tracks and publishes those particularagents seized 2,000 fentanyl pills at the arizona. >> the totals from last year for fentanyl close to 6 million tablets seen this year here. >> this is the same port of entry, by the way, where last week this candy-colored fentanyl was discovered, more than 15,000 pills. it had been dyed the bright colors. alarming to see the least since it appears it was specifically targeted to children. back to you. >> sandra: casey, thank you very much reporting from eagle pass for us. florida republican congressman kat cammack a member of the house homeland security committee is joining us. heartbreaking what is happening and so many continue to make the dangerous journey and the children losing their lives as a result of it. >> it just breaks your heart. i think that we are at that point where everyone, regardless of your party affiliation, recognizes there is nothing compassionate about the open border policies that the biden administration continues to allow. you think about these children that

meanwhile earlier this month, the gao reported that the federal government will probably lose 197 billionmber is sure to increase, of course, dramatically after tomorrow. the latest wage expectations data from the federal -- new york fed yesterday, i wanted to share this with you because to me it's a reminder of why the whole scheme is unfair for most americans. folks with less than college degrees expect to get $48,000 as a job offer. this is what they would accept. those folks who went to college expect $76,000 so the former is paying for the latter. this is a new cast system and i tell you, it sucks. we're unleashing an army of irs agents to go after small business owners and many of the small business owners had to take the chance because they didn't have the pedigree to go and move up the corporate ladders and they can't afford to pay workers after the minimum wage spike. cue the music, folks: pride, pomp and circumstances of glorious war, it certainly is. liz claman, over to you. liz: good to see you, charles. folks, top of the hour, fox market alert. stocks are mixed at the moment

the gao says the air force has not done the math on what it will cost to put missiles into our old silos. that is crazy. you need to know what something is going to cost before you ask us for the money. even if you take the rationale for icbms and the traditional triad at its face value, even if you think there is no price too high for national defense, you should still be outraged that our government is spending $268 billion for missiles we do not need, to keep us safe at a price way higher than advertised. every member on both sides of the aisle should be united in rethinking our spending in nuclear policy spending for that reason. i could not agree more. on the topic of defense, we are glad to have you because your community is often so overlooked in the conversation around national security and these larger issues. what are some of the things that have been striking about this crisis in ukraine? especially as you think about other regional conflicts with engage working on national security particularly as they pertain to the middle east, north africa, black and brown and indigenous c

gao found millions of dollars wasted under obamaen energy.udi arabia to get it to pump more with prince alwaleed investing millions of dollars in russian oil companies, like oil, gazprom, before they invaded ukraine. then they say we won't pump more. what is happening with the energy picture here? >> think about this, we're and energy economy, everything we do in the economy from start to finish it is based on energy. we can produce our energy here in the united states, first, cleaner, more efficiently anywhere else in the world. e environmentalist, why are you relying on places like china, iran, russia, venezuela, for dirty energy? that is the first problem. of course we know half of the coal cost, cost of this bill, $360 billion with a b. going to tax credits, 30% tax credits for energy efficient windows. good luck finding windows. elizabeth: to your point, green energy is dirty and he polluting. china is powering up coal factories to make solar panels. they're get getting tax breaks to mine lithium, cobalt, critical minerals for electric c

the gao says the air force hasn't even done the math on what it will cost to put intercontinental listed missiles into the silos. that is crazy. you need to know what something is going to cost before you ask us for the money. even if you take the rationale for icbms at face value, even if you say there is no price too high for national defense, he should still be outraged that our government is spending $260 billion for missiles we do not need to keep us safe at a price way higher than advertised. every member on both sides of the isle should be reunited and rethinking our spending a nuclear policy for those reasons. --and nuclear policy for those reasons. >> we are so glad to have you. especially because your community is often so overlooked in the conversation around national security. i want to talk about some of the things that have been striking about this crisis in ukraine when you talk about regional conflicts engaged with working with national security and foreign policy particularly as they pertain to the middle east, north africa. how has your work been affected? and what has

in general, has additional revenue collected matched gal's -- gao's expectations? >> yes, senator. $24 billion were collected from remote sellers that had economic taxes in 2021. that is more than what we suggested when we looked at 2017. the pandemic has been mentioned, inflation, the growth in e-commerce has been mentioned, there are a lot of factors that have gone into an apparent increase in the amount of collections that states have been able to reap. senator grassley: miss, if you have any information on this, how are states monitoring remote sellers and how onerous are those audits? >> we are seeing states to audits of remote sellers. this may be in part due to the pandemic and the ability to not visit in person, but we are seeing most of these audits happening remotely with requests for data. and then, the states are rough and doing most of the work themselves to come up with that liability. as a consultant, would typically help facilitate that for our clients and try to do>> since t, every state has adopted the collection of sales taxes. in your experience
