"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show. you're watching the fox business network. let's bring in former deputy national security advisor, kt mcfarland. kt, the question, why now? why are russian criminal cartels targeting the a major u.s. pipeline and why is iran harassing u.s. ships in the straight of hormuz? >> i think china, russia, iran, probably even north korea, they're looking at the united states right now and they're saying, wait this is a country we can exploit to take advantage of. they have a crisis at the southern border. they have an economic crisis. they certainly have a

dysfunctional political crisis in washington and they're so consumed with wokism and culture and cancel wars they will not pay attention to foreign policy. i think all of these countries are making their move. i wouldn't be all surprised if china doesn't do something in the next week or two as well. elizabeth: this is the second time in two weeks that u.s. warship fired shots at iranian gunboats. we haven't seen this in four years. the u.s. navy seized a huge shipment of weapons, 3,000 chinese made assault rifles on board a vessel heading to iran. your thoughts on that? >> these countries are all sensing a certain amount of distraction and weakness on the part of the united states. every new president gets tested in his first year of office. we can go back, 50 years. every new president gets tested. other countries are trying to figure out what they can get away with. maybe this is their opportunity. if you look at now this unique

time in american history the bad guys are probably signaling to each other, i wouldn't be all surprised if the the and russia are communicating at the same time. they can figure out if they get away with it now, if they do it all together they get away with stuff now that they might have not had a former time. i had a conversation with president trump, they never would have dared to do it if i was president. i would have done something about it. there is a certain amount of truth in what he said. elizabeth: you know, kt, this is all happening as russia's vladmir putin reviewed russia's traditional military parade celebrating victory in world war ii yesterday. the president did meet with nato's eastern european leaders worried about russian aggression in crimea and ukraine. russia has been in a big fight with the natural gas pipeline through germany. this major deal is a pipeline attack. this is the biggest attack on an

oil sector since iran was blamed on the drown attack facilities in saudi arabia in 2019. that pipeline even served an airport in atlanta, the world's biggest airport by passengers. how will the biden administration respond to all of this? >> well, i mean one of the things they have got to do is stand up to the russians. here's the thing, vladmir putin understands that he can't be held accountable, right? because this is all in that murky cyber world. he can claim as he did to the trump administration when he was accused of election interference. it wasn't the russian government was involved with any of this. well that is his deniability liz. he doesn't have the russian government do any of this. he is not that dumb. it is russian-related groups. he is subcontracting the hits out to other russian guys. i'm sure the russian government knows all about. this why? because they have done this before. they have done it to ukraine. they did it to georgia. the russians used cyberattacks

on critical infrastructure, particularly energy infrastructure. they have done it before. they have just never done it to us before. elizabeth: they shut down in kiev, there were huge power blackouts. i think in estonia too. kt mcfarland. thanks for joining us. what i cited happened a years ago. colonial pipeline company says they will get the sections up and running by the weekend f it keeps going we could see gas prices spiking higher. don't panic yet. we'll stay on the story, keep you informed. we have former arkansas governor mike huckabee. great to see you. talk about the timing of this. this is happening as consumer prices are sparking higher double digits. there is talk about 1970s era inflation going up. stagflation. they were blinded by a disappointing jobs report on friday. what are your thoughts about the timing? >> we don't know yet whether

this is purely a ransomware kind of attack or if it is a bad foreign actor, a state sponsor. we may never know. but the one thing i think we're clear in, is that people who do this kind of thing, they wait for a moment of weakness. they wait for a situation where they feel like that nobody is going to come after them, do anything of significance. there may be a little sabre-rattling going on. i don't think people are essentially afraid of what this administration might do to them. that is not a good lace for america to be. -- place to be. elizabeth: governor, you're making good points. we see prices going up. commodities flashing warning red flags. gas prices, lumber, copper, steel, corn, soybeans, even futures. we have chaotic d.c. liz cheney could be out of as chair of the gop conference by wednesday and senator mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy having the first

face-to-face meeting with president biden over the big government infrastructure spending possibly this week. your thoughts on all of that? >> first of all it is just amazing to me there haven't been weekly meetings that the president has with mccarthy and mcconnell. that is something that a president, even one that doesn't want to bring unity, which would still do, because that is how you get things done. you meet with the opposition. you soften them up. you build relationships. that is how it works. i'm just stunned that job jobe has yet really to meet with them until this week. i think that is just amazing to me. but let's go beyond that. one of the reasons we're having such a spike in these commodities, and a spike in things like lumber because nobody wants to go to work right now. i've talked to people who mill plywood in arkansas. you know what they say? they would be putting out more wood, they would be able to sell it cheaper but they can't get people to come to the mill to

work because they can make more money staying home thanks to this stimulus that the biden administration has put out than they can make by going to work. so i don't blame people for staying home and making more money than they can make working. they're not stupid but the government is stupid and it is a stupid thing when you pay people to not work. the one thing you can be guaranteed of, people won't go to work. elizabeth: yeah. companies are seeing a raise in prices to make up for lost productivity as you point out. manufacturing, construction, restaurant industry can't find workers. neel kashkari of the minneapolis fed said a lockdown mentality is holding back the economy. what you say bank of america says workers who work 32,000 a year, they're making more money taking government handouts but the president said all those ideas are wrong. people are not saying home because of government handouts. what do you think? >> well he needs to get out more. i mean i'm trying to be very

polite about this but if he would just drive up and down some streets anywhere in america he would see help-wanted signs everywhere. you would find out if you call people, who are unemployed and say, would you like to take a job, well, i can't come in until june because i got my stimulus and my unemployment will carry me to then. my barber told me last week he had a guy call, say, hey, you got a job for me? the barber said, i don't know, can you cut hair? , no i'm not a licensed barber, i have to make three calls to clock in to keep getting unemployment. this guy was no more of a barber than me. he is going through the motions making a few calls. he reports, yeah, i was out there really looking for work. a person without a barber's license calling a barbershop to see if he can get a job is not serious about getting a job, liz. that is what is happening out there. it has got to stop. let's hope it does for heaven's sakes. elizabeth: we can get caught in a vicious cycle because inflation goes up, the fed could

raise rates, right, stop an overheated economy. biden said those who are not working and are offered jobs, you have to take the jobs or lose your benefits but that is empty rhetoric. it doesn't work that way. he can only control government handouts, not what people do. this top-down rhetoric doesn't fly. >> the good news several governors are starting to realize that washington isn't going to act responsibly so they are. what they're doing, they're scaling back unemployment benefits for people who refuse to take jobs that are available to them. and they're not going to let them end up making more money by staying home than they would make by working when there are jobs available. i think that's the key. we're not talking about people who can't find a job. we're talking about people who can find one. they just don't want one because they can make more money watching netflix than they can lifting something heavy for eight hours a day. elizabeth: got it.

governor mike huckabee. great to have you on. come back soon. love having you on. good to see you. >> thanks, liz. elizabeth: still ahead former boston chief of police daniel linsky. defund the police, fatale shootings, bail reform, all the cities that did all that desperately need tourism dollars after democrat shutdowns. see what happened in new york city. a disturbing shooting of tourists in times square. the story next. >> you will engage in bail reform effectively letting bad guys out on the streets. so there is no penalty for their crimes. you will attack the police and the media pretty much every day. you will jump to conclusion every use of force incident the police is the bad guy before giving them due process. you pay them nothing. pull the qualified immunity so they can lose their house, bank account, everything. only an intellectual or a liberal going, gosh, why is it

♪. elizabeth: let's welcome boston's former chief of police, daniel alinsky to the show. great to have you on, sir. we have cops running into danger to save people. your thoughts on the video that

shows nypd cop, alyssa vogel saving a 4-year-old toddler shot in the leg in times square. person of interest, 31-year-old farrakhan muhammad reportedly tried to shoot his brother. he shot two other tourists including this toddler. your thoughts on this. >> after a year plus of nypd and law enforcement officers around the country being essentially attacked and assaulted for the very day. they ran into the bullets. ran into danger. put themselves between the gunman and the tourist, to save the life of the child to try to minimize damage and destruction. that will continue to go on. law enforcement continue to do their duties every day. what we need is a community that supports law enforcement. how many cell phones were out filming the interaction, instead

get a perimeter to run down the subject? we need also the judges and the courts and the system to when individuals who engage in gun violence, who engage shooting innocent children in times square go to court, they need to be held accountable. we can reform policing, absolutely. there are things we can do better, but the bedrock of policing is the community and the officers working together to insure a safe and work environment we can live in. we need, officers are willing to do their part. elizabeth: where are the accountability in democrat-run cities that shut down their economies, they now say we need tourist dollars to turn ourselves around? how are shootings like this going to help? >> they will not help. what we've seen with the bail reform legislation, judges no longer have power to hold bill engaged in violence, illegally possessing weapons it's a

revolving door. if there are no consequences, there will be no change of behavior. those policies need to be addressed and changed. it is federal law -- elizabeth: go ahead. finish your thought. >> it's a federal crime for a felon with a firearm. if you're a felon, already been convicted of a felony, possess ad firearm illegally. u.s. attorneys can prosecute you. we need to hold people accountable when they don't want to comport to community standards. elizabeth: new york city mayor bill de blasio owe is under fire for draconian shutdowns with governor cuomo. they cut nearly a billion bucks in the police budgets here. he blames pandemic and joblessness and flood of illegal guns. why cut police budgets if it is about you know, stopping gun violence? shootings and murder rates and homicides are up double digits in new york? >> police budget cuts were part of a political process, not a security and safety process.

we saw this in the late 80s, early 90s, police departments across the country allowed numbers to get so low, officers were not responding to 911 calls. if you don't have officers to engage with the community before they join gangs, before people with mental health issues don't get diverted into programs that can help them, before deal with problem solving issues in areas, if you're just responding to 911 calls as opposed to preventing crime, this played out before. when we put cops out on the street working with policing strategies, outside their cruisers working together to police our communities. we did well. i would suggest we get back to that. elizabeth: there were back the blue rallies across the country like the one in palm springs, california. newark, new jersey. police did not fire a single shot, not one bullet did police fire in 2020. newark did not pay a single dime to settle police brutality

cases. why? because the police, as you point out were working with community groups to recover almost 500 illegal guns from the street during the year in 2020. serious crime in newark dropped 40% in the last five years. critics say as you point out reform has really taken hold. they need the money for better training for cops how to de-escalate confrontations. don't have reflexive, reto reflexively to violence. they worked on stopping bias in enforcement. use of force was too high, reporting of it was too low. you make a good point working with community groups to turn it all around. your final word. >> that is the key. the police have to work with the community to come up with a solution to their specific problems and challenges but exactly what you mentioned. cops have to come off the street, do training, realistic training to prepare themselves for one bad did i they grabbed a firearm instead of a taser

because we are not training. they can come up through the training they need to train police today which is what both police and community. police and communities want a better police response in our neighborhood. elizabeth: thank you, daniel, thanks for the your service to our country. come back soon. >> thank you. elizabeth: former prosecutor ken starr on this story. "the daily mail" has more hunter biden emails showing an unusually close relationship between hunter biden and a chinese american secretary who was hunter's secretary as that chinese energy conglomerate hunter was doing business dealings, making millions of bucks of the question, did china target hunter biden as it allegedly did democrat eric swalwell? the story next. >> we've seen that joe biden administration is supposed to be moderate and supposed to be about transparency and truth it is anything but. i imagine the president or

anybody around him will make sure the attorney general makes this go away. put it that way. obviously the media will not press anybody on this in any way, shape or form. it will become something, it was a thing back during the campaign. we'll not hear much about it anymore. ♪ ♪ ♪ hey google, turn up the heat. ♪ ♪ ♪ everyone remembers the moment they heard... “you have cancer.” how their world stopped and when they found a way to face it. for some, this is where their keytruda story begins.

what do you think, ken? do you think china was targeting hunter biden like it allegedly targeted eric swalwell by allowing a spy to be in his congressional office? >> it looks very suspicious and yes, china we know is not to be trusted. we love the chinese people but the communist party of china is our great geopolitical adversary and so, by golly, hunter biden should not be involved with chinese business interests. we need to be, liz, disengaging, decoupling from china and there are some thoughtful voices in the united states senate calling exactly for that. so yes, let's find out these facts and my feeling, liz, we need at this stage a special counsel. great that the u.s. attorney's office is looking at it but we need a special counsel at this stage. elizabeth: "the daily mail" said they found more emails on hunter biden's laptop that showed

hunter was allegedly possibly, personally connected to his chinese american secretary. that that china's biggest oil conglomerate, cefc, his secretary, was paid millions of dollars by this company. the secretary allegedly emailed hunter biden, to tell him that he had his military dog tags that hunter left behind in his new york apartment. we should point out it is not clear that hunter biden had any intimate relationship with the secretary, nor possibly know about the china's company's alleged links with chinese intelligence but then the secretary basically emails saying, whatever money you can get out of china via hudson west, keep the money, take the money. she even said take your fair share. she used the term fair share. that is what your father is always saying, pay your fair share. she said take the fair share. your thoughts? >> yes, my thought this is terrible. it is potentially terrible.

i'm a believer in finding out the facts and assessing the facts but this is all the more reason why hunter biden's with china, so very important. think of what is happening in hong kong. think of the threats to taiwan. think of the south china sea. we need to be strong and firm and we do not need the president's son interring into or continuing a relationships that may compromise or appear to compromise the will of the united states of america to stand firm, for our values, which are clearly not about use of the communist party of china which is guilty of genocide. that was the view of the trump administration and happily it is the view of the biden administration. elizabeth: that senate report also indicated fears of extortion and counterintelligence concerns with hunter doing business with this chinese company and other companies around the world. you know the timing of this, ken, is at issue. hunter basically was doing this business deal with cefc. it starts to fall apart in 2017.

she then later starts emailing, the secretary starts allegedly emailing him about take the money. after this whole thing was falling apart, after this guy who hunter called the spy chief of china, was basically arrested for bribery. and that guy tries to hire hunter to be his lawyer in that indictment. so you know, this is happening right when hunter's deal again collapsed with this chinese energy company and right when that cefc official is arrested in 2017. they were the emails start coming in. it feels really suspect. by the way, she is saying take the money out of hudson west, which was an off-balance sheet shell company that hunter allegedly set up to avoid the foreign registration act, fara, which is what they went after general michael flynn on. you know what i mean? this whole thing sounds really suspect. >> it does and so it is all the

more reason why aren't people just asking the questions why? don't hide it. don't pretend that these relationships did not exist. this strikes me, liz, as so much more important, so much more serious than hunter's very questionable relationship with burisma in the ukraine. as important as the ukraine is, and god bless the ukraine, may they continue to stand up against russia and vladmir putin, but my word, this is china, our true geopolitical adversary and all thoughtful people are aware that american business needs to decouple. we need to regain american independence from the authority of the chinese government. it is as simple as that. let's find out these facts. if need be, i think there is a need, to appoint a special counsel with grand jury authority so we can get people under oath and get to the bottom

of this. elizabeth: all right. ken starr, great to see you. thanks for coming on. >> thank you, liz. >> sure. we're coming out of the bottom of the hour. you're watching the fox business network. coming up republican congressman buddy guy. he will talk to us about a "new york times" science writer who has pretty convincing evidence that the covid-19 virus did in fact escape from that wuhan lab in china. china has been pushing back denying this story for years. we'll take it on next. >> so if you got these viruses and realize they escape, of course they're going to be good attacking. big indication that the virus may have been manipulated.

okay, respected science writer for "the new york times," nicholas wade, he make as convincing case, yeah the coronavirus leaked from that mismanaged lab in wuhan, china. what is your reaction to that? >> certainly there is evidence that shows, initially we thought it was coming from the wet market. however as the investigation has continued on we know that, earliest viruses didn't come from the market. therefore you have to look at other sources and certainly this is confusing. there are those who truly believe there is enormous evidence it originated from the wuhan institute of virology. certainly that is important and important to note that intermediary animal host has not been identified yet that would lead you to believe possibly and

probably it came from the institute itself. elizabeth: klein to your point, can't find the bats supposedly the source of this virus, they can't find it reports are chinese scientist have been trying to do a big push on viruses that jump from species from animal to human. mike pompeo says they're doing a big push. he said this does not exist organically in nature. take a listen. >> so you have got these virus -- may have escaped. of course they will be very good at attacking human cells. that is one big indication that the virus may have been manipulated. other of course is the very obvious common sense one, broke out in wuhan. the pandemic broke out in wuhan which is the home of china's

leading lab looking into this type of virus. elizabeth: he is, let me encapsulate what he just said. he is saying they were working on viruses with mice to make them for infectious and he is saying there is a reason it originated out of wuhan because wuhan is where the lab is. if it originated in the wet market he is saying why haven't we heard to your point about earlier cases of the coronavirus linked to the wet market, right? >> exactly and we do know gang of function testing was going on in the institute at that time. that is where they're trying to identify how it spreads and how easily it could spread. it remains to be determined whether or not it did, it was released from the institute or not. however, there are things that we do know for certain. we do know that china was lying. we do know that china was complicit. they did, they were lying about spread of the disease and

complicit in letting it spread throughout the world, including to the united states. they gave us the virus and took our jobs. that is what they did. so they need to be held accountable. regardless whether it came from the wet market or whether it came from the institute itself, and there is strong evidence it came from the institute what needs to happen, the republican members of the energy and commerce committee are calling for, for the administration to release more information and let's have a bipartisan hearings on this subject. elizabeth: congressman buddy carter, good to see you. thank you so much for joining us. we really appreciate it. >> thanks. elizabeth: next up vince collagnese with us. he will help break down this probe now expanding into new york governor andrew cuomo. cuomo getting increasingly defiant in his denials. we've got the details coming up. >> everything about this is misleading from the governor blaming everyone except the man who signed the mandate himself not taking any responsibility

♪. elizabeth: joining us now, "the daily caller" editorial director vince kala niece. good to have you back on, vince. >> thank you. elizabeth: your reaction when you heard the new york state attorney general's office has expanded its investigation into governor andrew cuomo to probe whether a top advisor did in fact pressure new york county officials to support cuomo in his various controversial probes and scandals in exchange for getting covid-19 vaccines? that is now expanding to look into that. what are your thoughts? >> the guy in question is this guy larry schwartz. he has worked in and around new york democratic politics for decades and specifically he has

been known as a hatchet man for governor andrew cuomo in the state for a long time and over the past few months he has been serving in a very important covid advisory role, described as a volunteer position for andrew cuomo. so larry works in this role. he is tasked with distributing vaccines in the state. all these county executives that he is speaking to, that is how they know him. they know him as the guy who decides whether or not their community gets vaccines. so in early march when they all desperately need these vaccines they start getting phone calls from larry schwartz. what is he saying? he is asking whether or not they are going to stand by governor andrew cuomo. seems pretty implicit this is a loyalty test and one that county executives interpreted as a threat to withhold vaccines from their communities because again, he is the vaccine guy, calling to see whether they're loyal to andrew cuomo. no wonder this is being investigated. elizabeth: you know, looks like investigators have interviewed at least three democrat county

executives who said, yeah, they were surprised to get phone calls from larry schwartz. he oversaw the vaccine distribution for new york state. he asked them if they support cuomo from resigning from office around linked it to the vaccines. one count executive filed a complaint with the phone call with mr. schwartz in the attorney general's office in march. cuomo's communications director resigned on friday. he is still running the governor's association. where does this lead, do you think, this new probe? >> well it, i would imagine, you know, if it is an honest probe it will lead somewhere. governor cuomo has been accused by democrats across the state, including state assemblyman ron kim of constantly threatening them and their political careers. if larry schwartz is running around making phone calls, are you loyal to andrew cuomo, if you are not, guess what? i am in control of vaccines that would be consistent in terms of what democrats are alleging

about cuomo's behavior and if it is true, boy is it disgusting you would hurt your own citizens in order to achieve a political end, not let them have vaccines when they desperately need them. that is despicable. these are mob tactics. elizabeth: after thousands, after thousands died in new york nursing homes, the allegation is that those deaths are tied to the cuomo's order putting patients back in. we also have investigators through the attorney general's office of new york interviewing at least half a dozen of governor cuomo's sexual harass man accusers according to the women and their lawyers. they're issuing dozens of subpoenas to current and former officials in the cuomo administration. your final thought about that? >> he is doing everything he can to insist there is nothing to this when in fact there is not just smoke, there seems to be fire everywhere and i can't imagine cuomo is going to succeed in putting it out. it is, i think there are plenty of democrats in the state who

are fed up with him, many of whom already called on him to resign. now the ball is in letitia james' court, also by the way the justice department's court as they continue investigations into this democrat governor. elizabeth: okay. vince collagnese, we love having you on. come back soon. >> thanks, liz. elizabeth: coming up congressman louie gohmert is back with us. the congressman recently went to the border. he will help us make since of this shocking new video. five toddlers age one, as young as one years old to six abandoned by human smugglers in the heat of the desert near the border. again showing, yeah this is a humanitarian crisis. the story next. >> undeniable what's happening at the border. it is an absolute crisis. this administration is only getting better trafficking kids into the country, moving them around from facility to facility. frankly only thing they're good at.

♪♪ elizabeth: joining us now, texas congressman louie gohmert. hey, congressman, it's so wonderful you coming on. we have a texas rancher north of eagle pass, texas, putting up video on facebook, five small girls aged 1-year-old to 6,

human smugglers abandoned them at their ranch on mother's day weekend, this past weekend, exhausted, dehydrated, no food and water, no one to care for them throughout the night. they could have died. temperatures can hit 103 degrees, sir. what's your reaction when you saw this? >> well, just sheer disgust. and it also makes me even angrier at this administration. they are making this happen. they, this president, this administration has perpetuated and multiplied many times the problem that was already there trumped had done a great job -- trump had done a great job of almost securing the border better than anybody has in the last 30 years. and then along comes this president. if the president did not have immunity from if suit, elizabeth, then there would be a slam dunk lawsuit. all these immigrants that are

flooding in, bind t-shirts -- biden t-shirts, they're saying they know biden wanted them to come. but with these little children like this, it's called an attractive nuisance that he has created. he's lured them in and, look, the drug cartels when they take money or they take an agreement that you'll go sell drugs in america to pay off the price, the administration is one shipping them out. the drug cartels, their deal is we'll get you into the country, period. and then if you, if they die here, they've lived up to their end. and so this is all about this administration, you know, watching your earlier segment, i guess it could be worse. he could have put governor cuomo in charge of the border. but for now, it's as bad as it's ever been. it's never been this bad. 170,000 or so last month, over 2 million at that rate for a year

if that keeps up. this has got to come to an end. he has got to come to his senses and put a stop to this unobscured border. it's got to stop. elizabeth: you know, the rancher's wife, congressman, said, quote: this is happening everywhere. tell us about this. this summer is going to be a killer who i try to cross illegally. 110 degrees. she's saying stop this, stop this now. they actually thought one of the little girls was dead. fortunately, they were able to revive the child and give her water and help her, but this comes, congressman, you've seen it, you know, smugglers dropping toddlers over the border wall repeatedly. but now we have nancy pelosi claiming that biden inherited a broken system, and then we have kamala harris today the again claiming what's happening is due to climate change. what do you say? >> yeah.

well, we can't do anything substantive about the climate change right now when the moon's orbit is apparently changing some, the earth's orbit is changing some according to nasa. but we can do something about people that will continue to die getting across our border. and until this president makes it clear that we are not entertaining unaccompanied children coming across the border anymore, it's just going to increase. like you said, elizabeth, this summer is going to be a literal killer. and, yeah, i saw the video just north of eagle pass. this is the kind of thing, it's gotta stop. something has got to wake these people up at the white house. give up on your hope and your desire and your effort to create future democrat votes long enough to stop the death that's coming and will just increase.

come on, let's put a stop -- elizabeth: well, the president -- >> -- save some lives. elizabeth: the president's approval rating about the border is deeply underwater. an associated press new poll, 54% disapprove of the way the biden administration is handling this. you know, children are being endangeredded. we just showed photos of toddlers being dropped over the border wall. it looks like the children's parents are sending the children alone first to avoid immediate expulsion as a family unit -- >> right. elizabeth: and then they try to enter the u.s. after to claim their children and try to get in here illegally. is that the play this. >> yeah, that is exactly the play. they know the administration's a made clear up accompanied children will not -- unaccompanied children will not be sent back. so the parents will come along and say we're the parents, and then they'll in, and anybody else that they want in under this administration will be coming in. and that's their way, this

administration made clear this is the way you come in illegally and get to stay. it's gotta stop. elizabeth: well, it is a humanitarian crisis. >> it is. elizabeth: you know, people see it's a humanitarian the crisis. no matter what the rhetoric out of d.c., this shows it's clearly a crisis. congressman gohmert, you've been terrific. thank you for watching, join us again tomorrow night. ♪♪ larry: hello, everyone. welcome back to "kudlow, "i'm larry kudlow. great to be here. i want to get to russia's cyber hacking our colonial pipeline which coulding put the whole electric power grid at risk up and down the east coast. it's a potentially huge issue, and we're going to get to it with the expert of experts, former energy secretary dan brouillette, in just a few moments. but i just want to begin with another subject. please, stay with me for a moment or two. this afternoon my
