6:03 pm
to the house gop vote in less than an hour on new set of rules for the chamber, things like reining in trillion dollar government spending and more, after kevin mccarthy won his dramatic battle for house speaker. hillary vaughn on capitol hill with more. hillary. >> reporter: good evening, liz, speaker kevin mccarthy had to make a lot of promise he needed to become speaker. some closed-door deals, like agreeing to cut government spending potentially putting defense spending on the chopping block is dividing the gop. part of mccarthy's pledge is balance any increase in the debt ceiling cuts to federal spending, promise to cap government spending for 2024 fiscal year back down to what it was in 2022, cutting $130 billion from federal agencies and 10% reduction in current spending. >> if we want to talk about the debt and spending it is the entitlements program that is0%
6:04 pm
of our entire budget that 1.7 trillion, defense within that is only 30%. >> reporter: white house is jumping on the idea that entitlement programs will be touched. white house chief of staff ron klain reacting to mat wall much, they are going to cut social security and medicare it could not be clearer. the idea of cutting defense spending is something progressive democrats are saying are excited about. >> cuts to the pentagon budget is pretty exciting for folks like me. we'll see what ends up happening and if republicans are able to actually be able to get anything done. >> reporter: it is not just some republicans that are looking to cut spending. some house democrats are being forced to cut spending. "politico" is reporting that democratic chiefs of staff in the house are going to no longer get free lunch at their weekly meetings because of budget cuts being in the minority. liz. elizabeth: hillary vaughn, good to see you. look who is who back, michael
6:05 pm
cloud and former cbo director douglas holtz-eakin. good to see you in the year. far left democrats, cnn, calling house gop conservative demands extreme, but the same things bill clinton and al gore demanded, smaller cuts, they wanted bigger cuts to reduce the size of government, they wanted smaller government. remember this congressman, the era of big government is over? >> yeah i remember that. elizabeth: are bill clinton, al gore, jfk, are they extreme? >> i might argue they were on different issues but i will say this, all along this has been about really restoring the power of the membership to representative sent the people that elect them to represent them. we've seen power matriculate over the years to the top so to speak, members come here, much of the job was performative. this is about us restoring that.
6:06 pm
a lot happened before any of us were in congress. still needed to be corrected, still needed to be fixed. we'll have much better functioning, deliberative body and less performative and effective membership going forward. elizabeth: douglas that is the point. recession is many looking. corporate america is slashing jobs. the economy is in need of pro-growth policies and less taxes. reaction to bill clinton in 1996. watch this. >> the era of big government is over. our ad min strings is working hard to give the american people a government that works better and costs less. republicans and democrats alike can show the american people that we can limit spending. elizabeth: but now that is extreme, douglas? >> well, i don't think that's extreme. that is respect for arithmetic. the things we've seen over the past several years simply don't add up. they endanger the u.s. taxpayer.
6:07 pm
they endanger possibilities of growth in the future. course correction is desperately needed. that is respect for taxpayer arithmetic t doesn't add up. it is nice to hear the president talk about a strategy for growth. it would be nice for this president to have strategy for growth that wasn't just spend more money. everyone is concerned about the possibility of the fed going too far, having recession. the question, what comes after that? what is the strategy for pro-growth prosperity increasing prosperity policies in the united states? we don't hear anything. elizabeth: democrats have been in the identity crisis. democrats up until the middle of the last decade campaigned on small government, low taxes and growth. now they're putting redistribution and big government first at the expense of growth, congressman. they end up getting neither. they're raising taxes when the government routinely fails to deliver a budge sweat. they don't read their own bills and hold hearings, they demand we report 600-dollar paperwork for phone transactions to the
6:08 pm
irs? it is extreme to demand2 hours to read legislation? seriously? >> some of the accusations over the last week have been pretty laughable once you know we've been tying to work for but here's the thing, our country is headed to fiscal cliff, under democratic leadership we raced toward the cliff. to often under the republican leadership we jogged toward the cliff. we have to turn the corner. interest payments if we keep going the course we are, that will be number one budget item that does no good for anybody doing anything in government. we have to rein this in. we have to put us a path toward fiscal responsibility a lot of what we discussed over the last week is beginning of creating a framework for that. i'm really happy to see our conference coming together to support it. elizabeth: would msnbc call al gore, bill clinton, jf k-part of the tea party, doug? >> i don't know. i'm not an expert on msnbc but i
6:09 pm
certainly wouldn't. what we need to see is the ability to get to yes. we saw that happen within the republican conference this past week. we're going to see more of that in the week to come but ultimately it is about getting to yes across the entire house, the senate, having president of the united states sign appropriations bills that make sense, not bilge omnibus bills that don't add up. appropriations bills that fit the nation's needs, fully funded. that is regular order. that is what is needed. >> we've been in an era of normalizing the abnormal. this is really abnormal under nancy pelosi and speaker, excuse me senator schumer. watch republicans react to all of this. watch this. >> will repeal the funding for 87,000 new irs agents. [cheering] we believe the government should help you, not go after you. >> this is about power for the american people and with all due respect nancy pelosi ran congress like a prison camp with
6:10 pm
no accountability. the american people are very, very tired of this gang of seven, "gang of eight," literally seven or eight people, just a few people in washington, d.c., running all of the policy for the american people. >> people like hakim jeffries in his speech was supposed to be introducing kevin mccarthy, lasted about an hour, he celebrated the unanimity of the democrats. president xi likes unanimity in china as well. that is not the nature of american democracy in my view. >> democrats unite and spending money. whenever you have a unlimited amount of money, you can promise any democrat any amount of money, any earmark, any new social program, they will always get on board in the end. you look at the republicans, we want to actually balance the budget. >> you know, here's the thing, you know what is really striking, douglas, congressman james comer will hold the very first hearing as house oversight chair on covid spending.
6:11 pm
there has not been a single hearing to oversee the funds during the entire pandemic. so democrats were not concerned about wasteful, waste, fraud and abuse and abuse of taxpayers here. >> i think that is a fantastic idea. we really, we had 2 1/2 trillion dollars in a single bill in the cares act. there is an accounting for that money that needs to be presented to the american people. where did it go? we have no idea. where are the uses of the paycheck protection program legitimate in the end? were checks going to people who deserve them? were people qualified for the very generous unemployment insurance benefits? no one knows answer to those questions. all we know the money left washington. time to find out where it landed. elizabeth: watch lesley stahl again misdiagnose the problem again on "60 minutes." watch this. >> historic chaos in the house of representatives this past week embarrassed not only a party but an entire nation, a small minority blocked the house
6:12 pm
from electing the leader or even swearing-in its own members. vote after vote of would-be speaker could not bring himself to stand aside in favor after colleague. >> he accepted money in his family from russia, from ukraine, from china, from other places. i think it is one of the biggest scandals i have ever seen and you don't cover it. you want to talk about -- >> because it can't be vary five. >> by the way cbs eventually, cbs home to "60 minutes" eventually authenticated hunter biden's laptop. congressman, your final word on lesley stahl's analysis here. >> what you see from the left is call it unity but conformity. might be made tore tv government. what we saw for last week it is made for the people government, that is exactly what we should be having here in washington. we're going to be a stronger nation for it. we'll be a stronger body for it.
6:13 pm
the fact that the american people saw it all play out, that is extra level of accountability which is really what this nation is supposed to be about. elizabeth: congressman cloud, douglas holtz-eakin, thanks for joining to us night. good to see you both. >> thank you. elizabeth: new details are coming out with the biden family overseas business dealings profiting off the joe biden's government job. gop house oversight says it will probe the president, not just hunter biden. plus critics call out the ugly truth behind president biden's white-washed sanitized trip to the out of control border crisis. congressman brian babin next on "the evening edit." ♪

♪. elizabeth: welcome back, president biden is in new mexico for the north american leaders summit. governor greg abbott greet the president on the tarmac in the first trip to el paso with the governor's letter slamming the president for making border crisis work as the president is expected to announce a run for 2024. edward lawrence has the latest from mexico city. >> reporter: president biden was in mexico city all day yet his first public appearance was 40 minutes ago. an opening ceremony with the president of mexico. he is now going to a bilateral
6:18 pm
meeting between the two presidents in the bilateral meeting one-on-one with president obrador president biden wants to get mexico environmental standards strengthened. he wants to focus on supply chains related to that. also broaden law enforcement cooperation to stop the flow of fentanyl flowing across the border. national security advisor jake sullivan says the president wants to keep the status quo with new policies on the border to see if they stop illegal migration. texas governor greg abbott says the stat discuss quote let to cartel wealth and record number of people crossing the border. he wanted to make the sure the president got the letter in hand and delivered it straight to himself to the president. spokesperson john kirby says the president understands the governor's concerns. >> these two leaders don't agree on everything when it comes to get to the challenges at the

border of the president put forth a series of policies and initiatives last week to better improve border security as well as to find additional legal pathways. he will stay focused on those policies and those initiatives going forward. >> reporter: now tomorrow the president will have a bilateral meeting with the president, prime minister of canada and then there will be a trilateral meeting between the three of the leaders. there will be deliverables we're told coming out of those meetings. we don't have any specifics what that is. elizabeth: edward lawrence thank you. welcome back to the show, congressman brian babbitt. co-chair of the house security caucus. we had protesters greet president biden in tightly controlled visit to el paso questioned, the first as president to the border. i want your reaction to texas governor abbott debunking homeland security secretary mayorkas and the president here. watch this. >> governor abbott is not collaborating with the federal government on an issue that
6:20 pm
requires collaboration. >> the only reason why we have these people coming across the border like we do is because both homeland security secretary and the president are not enforcing current laws. they claim that republicans need to work with them. i have outlined exactly what they need to do as a starting point to begin to secure the border. so any suggestion by either secretary mayorkas or the president that republicans are not working with them is just flat-out false. >> [inaudible]. president biden: a lot of resources will get -- >> gave the president a letter from me to him outlining the chaos that his refusal to enforce the border laws is causing the state of texas. i told him how thousands of texans have lost their lives. tens of thousands of texans have their lives destroyed by his open border policy. >> listen this visit is about
6:21 pm
two years too late and about $20 billion short of what needs to be done. all he is going to do down there is rearrange the chairs on the deck of the titanic. elizabeth: what is your reaction, sir? >> my reaction is exactly the same as our governor. he outlined in his letter exactly what needed to be done. the actions to take to secure the border and quite frankly the, the biden administration, joe biden and his team have done nothing but demonize republicans for not voting for the omni package, the $1.7 trillion package, when in reality, that funding would not have done one thing, it wouldn't have built any wall, it wouldn't have secured our border it wouldn't have given us anymore infrastructure improvements to secure our border. it was in fact, it forbade, it prohibited the spending any of this money on anything that would do that. it just simply facilitated more processing, getting more people
6:22 pm
over the border. they have got -- yes, ma'am? >> the governor abbott says the president's trip to el paso was theater. it was cleaned up and sanitized illegal camps illegal cleaning up the street, so clean up for the president but not for local taxpayers? we have five million illegal crossers on the president's watch. governor abbott says the president avoided areas where mass illegal immigration takes place. he didn't talk to thousands of angry texas property owners whose lives have been destroyed by his policies. >> exactly, liz. i was down in el paso with speaker mccarthy just a month ago. there was an enormous tent city right across the river. that all has been cleaned up. it has been sterilized for biden's visit. quite frankly what he needs to do, instead of seeing trump's wall that was built, he should see the gaps his policies where they have prohibited the building of the wall.
6:23 pm
biden is, he has been in office for 50 years and this is his first trip down to the border. this whole thing was a dog-and-pony show and to blame republicans for this it just, it is nothing but dishonesty. mayorkas and biden and their whole team simply, they ought to go down there to apologize to the border patrol and they definitely need to be meeting with texas property owners and people who have been, had their lives completely ruined with the millions of people that have come across our border. 200,000 dead americans from overdoses over the last two years because they have empowered the cartels to bring in these drugs. it is just absolutely horrendous that they can come down there and think that in just a few minutes going to the ports of entry where there is not a whole lot happening illegally, that is, criminal activity, and think that they have done something. it is a joke. it truly is a joke. elizabeth: former gop

fighting it assiduously. elizabeth: got it. let's move to this. president biden is in mexico right as the house gop launches probes into the biden family business deals overseas to profit off of his job in government. the paper you work at, the "new york post," is reporting that the biden family deals in mexico, president biden as vice president used air force two in his official residence in d.c. to host the mexican business partners of his son hunter and his brother jim biden? can you tell us more about this? >> we know when president biden was vice president his son hunter made one trip every year down to mexico and spent a lot of time with carlos slim, the richest man of mexico and largest stakeholder at one time for "the new york times." they were trying to secure funding for another biden business partner jeff cooper, who is lawyer a long-time biden family friend, a donor and we don't know exactly what mr. slim wanted with president biden but we do know that he visited

vice president biden in the vice president's residence in 2014 and we also know that hunter biden was down there, hunter biden doesn't have any products. he doesn't make anything. so all he did was sell access and that's why when james comer says this is an investigation of joe biden, not hunter biden, it is to see the extent to which the president is compromised by these businesses. >> jon, your paper is reporting that hunter biden was trying to hook up mexican billionaires to do energy deals with ukraine's burisma where hunter biden sat on the board and was paid millions of dollars over a number of years to sit on the board of this ukrainian energy company. so he is working on energy deals between mexico and ukraine reportedly according to your paper. >> right, right. i would say that mexico is possibly the, is not even among the most significant of areas which the house probe is looking into. i would say ukraine, i would say china, and i would say romania is the key areas where hunter

roth. pleasure having you both on. phil, the biden white house will restock, replenish the strategic reserves at higher cost than expected after the president drained it to record lows. he drained it to get gas down and his polls up. what do you think, phil? >> i think you know, it is a lot easier to sell oil than to buy it back and buy it back cheap. president biden's team a few weeks ago was bragging how much money we made at the reserve, we'll sell it high, buy it backhoe. so far they have not been able to buy it back. that trade doesn't look as good as they thought it was going to. elizabeth: carol, to what phil said, they will have to delay replenishing it, take a look and see. the average cost of the barrel in the stockpile was below 30. jump wanted to replenish it in 2020 at 24 a barrel. biden is looking $75 an up to replenish it. >> i think this whole thing is political theater but even with
6:39 pm
the 180 million that they have drained, they will refinish it, this pilot program was only three million barrels. they drained 180 million barrels in less than a year at three mill bails a month it will take a long time to replenish, liz, if they can find the right price. elizabeth: by the way china is reopening. phil, carol, you both pointed this out. that could cause oil and gas to rocket higher on more demand. china, like the population is nearly 20% of the world's entire population. they have been locked up for three years. now they are liberated phil. >> we could flip from oversupply to undersupply quickly. my question, when china reopens, demand goes up 3 million barrels of oil a day where the heck will the oil come from? right now the world is producing as much oil as they can. there is not a lot of spare production capacity. that means sharply higher prices if it goes the way it looks like it will go. elizabeth: this is also
