"the evening edit" is up next with liz macdonald. and it starts right now. ♪. >> good evening, tonight joe biden ran for president problem mixing the country a rest. instead he seems to deliver a revolution. when the nation finally emerges from the covid crisis that helped elected him will it think it got what it voted for? joining us tonight, lee zeldin, fox news contributor sean duffy, former national deputy security advisor kt mcfarland, dr. marty makary, republican strategist ford o'connell and former dhs official mike howl. we'll soon hear what is in part two of biden's so-called infrastructure bill. tomorrow night he addresses congress to talk bit.
6:01 pm
could his american families plan already be in danger of being derailed by his own party? the cdc, it finally gives americans an incentive to actually get vaccinated but why on earth did they wait so long? plus the recall effort against gavin newsom has reached a major milestone but are his days as california governor really numbered? also tonight the progressive mayor of portland, oregon is changing his tune about riots in his city and he is not alone. how crime is drowning outcries to defund the police. kamala harris pledges millions in aid to stem the crisis at the border, aid to foreign countries but will throwing money at the problem really fix isn't i'm gerry baker. i'm in for liz macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now.
6:02 pm
gerry: let's begin in washington where president biden will give his first joint address to congress. that will be tomorrow night. chad pergram with what we might expect. reporter: good evening, gerry. this will be a different speech. usually pack about 1600 people in the house chamber. this time only a grand total of 200 people on hand, 80 house members and 60 senators. chief justice john roberts is the only invited member of the supreme court. only cabinet members, secretary of state antony blinken and secretary of defense lloyd austin. this is for covid protocols. president biden will wear a mask into the house chamber but remove it speaking from the dais. the house has special rules requiring house members to pass through metal detectors to enter the chamber. house members must wear masks inside of the chamber. senate majority leader chuck schumer says he doesn't know if senators will have to wear masks. republicans question whether there is hygiene theater. >> it is not clear exactly when
6:03 pm
he told them about it. was it after he was secretary of state or during the negotiations. i say with this, what happens with a lot of guys, they fall in love with the deals. the deal is more important than the impact the deal has. reporter: that was marco rubio talking about iran. this is the biggest event at the capitol since the inauguration. the capitol is still rattled after the january insurrection. fewer people in attendance could make it easier for security. >> certainly january 6th has been dissected quite extensively. so i'm sure with high degree of confidence they have adjusts some of their procedures to insure the safety of this event but you know, this won't be the last one. reporter: president trump gave his final state of the union speech on february 4th, last year the day before the impeachment trial ended last year. technically this is not a state of the union speech. this is billed as a speech
6:04 pm
before a joint session of congress. gerry. gerry: thank you, chad. covid theater, covid theatrics as you say. thank you very much. already seems clear that job jobe wants to be thought of some second coming of franklin delano roosevelt. tomorrow's address with a joint session of congress will be riddled with remarks from his predecessor. it marks the first 100 days of his presidency. that was a contrivance initially inaugurated by fdr. reminded during the peach repeatedly, like his famous predecessor during 1933 he is striving to rebuild a country out after deep national crisis in the wake of a one term republican president. fdr had a absolutely adoring media. we can leave the historessians to decide whether a creation after white house gender policy council will be up there with the creation of the tennessee valley authority in terms of its
6:05 pm
historical importance. the larger problem, fdr's new deal was eenacted after a president was elected with a massive change. if fdr won a victory with landslide with huge majorities in congress. joe biden is trying to make a similar direction in the basis of what? he was elected by a slim margin. switch of 47,000 votes in three states would have seen him defeated. his party lost seats. barely held on to a tiny majority in the house. they were held to a tie in the senate. biden was elected in large part promising the nation of a pause from the tone of hyperpartisan ship of recent years. he is governing though he has a mandate to transform the country in a progressive paradise. we've seen a massive expansion of government. opening up the borders. imposing a radical left-wing ideology in race and gender politics. when the nation finally emerges from this covid crisis, under cover of which biden is ramming these radical changes through,
6:06 pm
will it really think it got what it voted for? more or less bring in new york congressman lee zeldin. congressman, thanks for joining me. >> great to be with you. gerry: biden will obviously talk up his agenda tomorrow. talk about how he is governing in the interests of the nation. we're seeing, aren't we, one of the most radical progressives in h in the first one fun days we've seen in a long time. >> no doubt. margins of the presidential election in november of 2020, the margin of the house and the senate right now with the majorities, there is the other aspect of why president biden doesn't have a mandate to doth is that he chose a basement strategy of a campaign where he wasn't coming out to the public, answering the tough questions and saying, if you elect me, this is what i will do, i will pack the court. i'm going to be okay with the filibuster changing and d.c.
6:07 pm
statehood, what we're seeing in the name of a infrastructure bill or a covid relief bill which should be bipartisan we're going to use it to fill up with our liberal wish-list. so they don't have a mandate from the numbers from last november. they also don't have a, he doesn't have a mandate. his administration doesn't have a mandate because they didn't say this is what he would do if he was elected. gerry: right, exactly. he won the democratic primary in part specifically because he wasn't a progressive, extreme progressive like elizabeth warren. as you say, congressman, he went through the campaign denying he was a radical. he laughed about it. you know, come on, man, he kept saying i'm no radical. you know i'm the old familiar joe biden. now we have a very radical presidency. "axios" is reporting, unspoken biden formula, talk like a rosie bipartisan, act like a ruthless partisan. what do you think? >> during the inauguration he was talking about unity and healing.
6:08 pm
it is clear the version of compromise that the democrats and president biden have in mind is a version of compromise where you agree with them 100% of the time. they're going to put their ideas to the floor of the house and the senate. you can vote for it or not, republicans but don't think that you're going to be actively involved at all in actually crafting legislation. that is not really compromise. that is not common ground. that is not unity. and not only is this contradicting the way he ran his campaign, it also contradicts the main theme of his inauguration address. gerry: wonder, congressman, whether democrats, some moderate democrats i might get concerned. i noticed today james carville, former clinton strategist, told vox, wokeness is a problem, everyone knows it. he was quite dismissive about the radical way this administration is going, it will store up trouble for them. >> yeah, americans are furious right now. they're seeing it with the censorship of big tech.
6:09 pm
the lying coverage and the covering up by many inside of the media, present company excluded of course. they're upset with what we're seeing in grade schools with the critical race theory, indoctrination in higher ed where if you take the liberal policy position in your essay that you would be in line to get a higher score than taking the contrarian view where what we should be doing in education is teaching, not brainwashing and allowing critical independent thinking, take whatever position you want. we're seeing it in our schools. we're seeing policies coming out of congress. media, big tech, the average american realizes they are being triangulated. that their value is are under attack. in many ways the average american feels like they're being targeted by this wokeness for cancellation. gerry: quickly, congressman, briefly if i may. you thrown your hat in the ring for new york governor on the republican ticket. new york is a deep, deep blue state. andrew cuomo obviously had his
6:10 pm
troubles of late. what will be your message to flip that state? >> everyone, everywhere throughout this state is all-in for change. they want to restore new york for glory. they feel like this is the last stand. their wallets have been attacked. their freedom is attacked. i announced the campaign april 8th. zeldin for new york,.com i've taken three statewide trips. got back from 11 counties. everyone everywhere is hungry for this. we have to fight back. we can't be complacent. we can't accept this new reality with one party democratic rule at every level. it is bad for our country. we see it here in new york. it is bad for our state. new york city. we don't have to take it lying down. november 2022 the chance to fight back, win back our country and our state and our future. gerry: congressman lee zeldin we'll see how that goes. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. gerry: biden set to rhee lease part two of his so-called infrastructure bill when he
6:11 pm
addresses congress but could his american families plan already be in danger being derailed by his own party? fox news contributor sean duffy weighs in next. >> the president campaigned suggesting he wouldn't owe the far left anything. but he is choosing to govern like he owes them everything. just over a year ago, i was drowning in credit card debt. sofi helped me pay off twenty-three thousand dollars of credit card debt. they helped me consolidate all of that into one low monthly payment. they make you feel like it's an honor for them to help you out. i went from sleepless nights to getting my money right. so thank you. ♪ ♪ how great is it that we get to tell everybody how liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so thank you. so you only pay for what you need? i mean it... uh-oh, sorry... oh... what? i'm an emu!

♪. gerry: as president biden marks his first 100 days in office with yet another massive spending plan he is being pressured by some democratic senators to expand medicare as part of his next huge spending bill the american families plan. reports say itco cost as much as $1.5 trillion. that his plan is to focus on child care and paid family leave. the democrats want to lower the eligibility age for medicare, expand benefits for the health program, allow the program to negotiate lower drug prices, put a limit on out-of-pocket expenses. that sounds expensive. talk about it with fox news contributor sean duffy. thanks for joining me. >> gerry, good to be with you. gerry: sounds like there is no limit what the democrats want to spend money on. >> they have a slim majority in the house, handful of seats,
6:16 pm
50-50 in the senate. they think they won the last election with a massive majority so they opened up the file be cabinets. talked about "medicare for all." this is one step closer to that. gerry, we're nearing $30 million in debt. there will be deflation on the horizon. there is a risk that the dollar may not be the global reserve currency anymore. that will have huge implications for the country. democrats don't seem care. this money will have to pay back somehow and try to print our way out of it. the consequence of that is devastating. they don't care. work on, let's get people back to work. enough with the programs for everybody. let's set up an economy where people can get a job, a good-paying job and support their families. if you don't have that, you live off the government, people become depressed. they lose self-esteem. you have other problems like drugs and mental health issues. this is a whole set of bad
6:17 pm
policies from democrats. focus on the economy. focus on jobs. gerry: it is remarkable, sean, president biden, president obama came in 2009 in the middle of a deep economic crisis, everybody acknowledges that, came up with a spending plan, so-called shovel-ready spending plan. less than a trillion dollars. he had a big majorities in house and senate able to get it done. biden comes in, the economy is set to grow really strongly in any case this year, doesn't just double down on that, triples down and quadruples down on that. we seem to have made a leap here into a different kind of economic program. >> really good point. when i ran in 2010 i ran against the 860 billion-dollar stimulus package, shovel-ready jobs as you mentioned. so much of the money didn't go to jobs but to unions and states that overspent. upon reflection of the money how it is being spent. americans will be outraged and hold democrats accountable n 2010 they did the same thing.
6:18 pm
they had a majority. had it for two years, they went as far and fast as they could. that is when they got obamacare. they're trying to do the same thing. more than likely lose the senate. lose the house. this is the window of time, eight months to get the massive progressive policies in. then they will go home and probably lose their races. what we saw, gerry, once you get the programs in like obamacare, you really can't get them out. this will be a lifetime of spending this country can't afford. we need more people pulling the wagon, getting jobs, paying taxes than those taking from the government, free health care, free housing, free food. let's get back to work. gerry: you used to work there, what happened to the centrist democrats, moderate democrats? presumably they're watching all of this going on thinking this is not what biden was elected on. this will cost us extraordinary amount of money, $4 trillion. joe manchin in the senate,
6:19 pm
nodding through the 1.9 trillion, now he may balk at some measures biden coming up, particularly the tax increases the democratic party seems remarkably united in the extremely far left program they came up with. >> kristin cinema and joe manchy are problem. in the house democrats won a lot of moderate seats. you can't have the left-wing agenda go back to the voters to elect you. democrats in the moderate seats understand they won't get elected but the pressure is so great for leadership, to take this moment in time and get these big programs done. you will go down in history as a great democrat legislator. they buy into that all the while knowing they will lose their seats to republicans. kevin mccarthy will be the next speaker of the house. lee zeldin probably the next governor of new york. they don't seem to care. gerry: yeah. we'll see. i mean it is remarkable. many of those democrats are in congressional districts that donald trump won in the presidential election last year. it is pretty extraordinary
6:20 pm
they're going along with this. sean duffy, thanks for joining me. >> thank you. gerry: coming up dr. marty makary joins us on why the cdc waited so long to give americans an incentive to get vaccinated. >> that research was done almost a full year ago. last may the study was done showed one in 300 outbreaks might be connected to an outdoor transmission. since then there has been a lot of different studies. the cdc has been very slow to adjudicate what we already know and people are getting frustrated out there. to help you break down boxes? arrrggh! what am i gonna do to you box? let me “break it down” for you... arrgggh! you're going down! down to the recycling center!

6:25 pm
announcing new mask mandate, new mask guidance from the cdc, easing supposedly the rules on exactly when vaccinated and where vaccinated people can wear, have to wear masks. what on earth took them so long to get here and why this continued caution? joining us to discuss this is johns hopkins university of professor of public health dr. marty makary. dr. makary, thanks of all indeed. first of all this is a very, very, tiny baby step, right? i think the announcement said, people who are vaccinated can go outside or biking on their own, for a run, meet with friends outside. that is basically it. it is not exactly liberation day, is it? >> that's right. the message i took away from it, gerry, everybody needs to keep wearing a mask outdoor which is inconsistent with the science except for a small carveout group, those far out from the vaccine and fully vaccinated and they're in small gatherings. we have to move more activities
6:26 pm
outdoors. weather is nice. safer than indoors. when you make restrictions outdoors, guess what? people stay indoors. they're at greater risk of sedentary life-style, getting the coronavirus and of other problems and they gain weight. guess what the leading risk factor for hospitalization is? it is weight gain. gerry: there is not incentive for people to go out to get vaccination. all this involves, yes, maybe you can go on a bike ride without your mask, otherwise, sorry, mask up, why on earth would people already doubtful about getting vaccination, why would they think oh, i will go because that is really what i want to do? >> the message should have been everybody can and should go outside, not really can but should be outside right now. if we want to address vaccine hesitancy, gerry, we want to be serious about it, switch the clinics to walk-in to get rid of barrier of scheduling. stop shaming people who choose not to get the vaccine. some people have good reasons. we need to respect that. reward people with something you
6:27 pm
can do after being liberated. stop talking about boosters. we don't even know if you need them yet. gerry: dr. makary, we knew about the science on this a long time ago, right, last year? we knew wearing a mask outside really for most people not necessary. >> classic cdc style they're very late. in this case they're about 14 months late. the science was actually out in april of last year where we learned in the study of 330 plus outbreaks, only one possibly could have been traced to an outdoor setting. what we're seeing here is consistent record with the cdc. their track record is late on warning us of the pandemic, late on masks last year, late on vaccine allocation, late on schools. i think they have lost a lot of credibility. gerry: what should be people to get vaccine, get vaccinated, your life can return pretty much to normal. >> get your vaccine. wait a month. then live a normal life. the only exception if you're in an indoor public gathering where
6:28 pm
the owner of the business is asking people to wear mask. respect that a little bit longer, but live a normal life. that is the liberation. i don't think we'll need boosters. we'll see but probably not. you can have a incredibly liberated life. that is the message we should hear from the cdc, rather than playing the stingy gatekeeper they lend to play. gerry: the other thing that strikes about this, we got out of proportion the sense of risk here. we now know, said it repeatedly, written about it repeatedly the risks of transmission of covid in an outdoor environment are extraordinarily small, probably got much greater chance of being hit by a car, being killed by a car. the risk is incredibly small but because that risk is incredibly small we're still going to require people to wear masks. the same when we had the johnson & johnson vaccine pause a few weeks ago. a tiny, tiny number of people seemed to possibly developed blood clots as a result of this. because of that we'll pause. we've seen impact of that, which
6:29 pm
is vast majority of people say they don't want to get the j&j vacs seen. we seem to be living in a climate we're not prepared to take even the slightest risk which is so unrealistic, because we take risks every time in our real lives? >> so tragic, the very low risks was studied at a time the virus was circulating a bit. we have a very low level. we have 50,000 cases. in a mild flu season we could have 400,000 cases. we're way below the numbers after mild flu cases. 23 cases in san francisco. most asymptomatic. eight people were in the hospital there. arizona hit zero deaths. michigan had the biggest outbreak is down 30%. at what point is it no longer a state of emergency? we have more cases of tb in the u.s. than we do coronavirus. at some point we've got to get back to a normal life. gerry: dr. marty makary, thanks again for marrying science and common sense. thanks for joining us.
