"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: let's begin with your money. stocks ending the day in the

green. a broad tech rally there as will street weighs earnings against rising inflation. oil prices on the march heading to $100 a barrel. gas already hat seven-year highs. the president is threatening to block nord stream 2 pipeline into germany if russia invades. ukraine, he went against his own secretary of state and green-lighted that pipeline last year. all that as the new husband army investigation found the white house did endanger troops in afghanistan and botched it worse than realize. joining us congressman dan meuser, house foreign affairs, along with former deputy national security advisor, author of revolution, trump, washington, we the people, kt mcfarland. good to see you both. reuters is reporting that the president doesn't have a plan to block nord stream 2. it is under germany's control. watch this. president biden: if russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of

ukraine, again, then there will be, there will be no longer a nord stream 2. we will bring an end to it. reporter: what, how would you, how will you do that exactly? since the project is in control of the project is within germany's control? president biden: we will, i promise you we will be able to do that. elizabeth: congressman, your reaction? >> well you know you would think that joe biden would know by this time as germany as well, it is a bad idea to get in bed with the kremlin. that is largely what they did, liz by approveing nord stream 2 and germany, eu for that matter relying upon russia for its natural gas and oil for this long. so many mistakes have been made in the buildup here. they have been in denial as the buildup, russian buildup occurred along the ukraine.

i will say now though that with the german chancellor shoals and biden talking about nord stream 2, nord stream 2 has to be on the table, we need everything we can regarding sanctions and consequences on to putin in order to make them understand that they are playing with fire at this point and any further steps or even gone too far is going to be met with a very united allied sanctions enforced and i do think nord stream 2 must be on the table. elizabeth: we hear that and then we have this, kt, a new u.s. army probe found the president did endanger troops in afghanistan, also citizens and allies. rushed announcements without any plan. kt i want reaction to the white house press secretary on this. watch. >> we did plan for a range of

contingencies even while as we talked about the at time there wasn't anticipation that, that, that the afghan national security forces would fall as they did or as quickly as they did. that was not anticipated by anyone. we had done a range ever continuously planning. >> she is being accused flat-out misleading america, kt. the cia, intel against warned for years kabul would rapidly fall if they rushed in, didn't do it correctly. your reaction to what the white house press secretary said? >> she is lying. the military told them, the intelligence community told them afghanistan was going to fall, fall very quickly, get americans out of there they didn't. they get the diplomats and military out but didn't get the civilians out. it's a flat-out lie. part of a problem, liz, they didn't anticipate anything. they didn't anticipate the fall of afghanistan. they didn't anticipate the problem of getting americans out of there.

they didn't anticipate the consequences shutting down the american energy industry while at the same time allowing the russian energy industry to supply europe with half the its energy. they didn't anticipate any of this stuff. here we are in the dreadful situation where the president of the united states is whistling in the win we'll have these really severe consequences. he couldn't have any severe consequences to impose. the germans will not let them stop the russian energy flow. the germans and french and europeans will not let them take russia out of the international banking system and shut down all russia's export of agricultural products and natural gas. you make all these threats. you make all these promises but you don't keep any of them. it feeds that sense of incompetence and american decline. elizabeth: so to kt's point, turning back to afghanistan, congressman, the atlantic magazine, act videos reporting just hours before kabul fell white house was still finalizing evacuation plans, reaching out

to who could register interest in relocating to the u.s. "axios" reporting that see h cia and intelligence officers warned the white house in 2021 but they were treated like quote, chicken littles. we shown footage of president biden on 2007, 2008, saying on camera would take a year to get out of afghanistan correctly. why weren't they planning sooner? >> high level of incompetence, unbelievable denial. afghanistan was absolute debacle from bagram moving on. i sat in hearings with general milley and secretary austin and tony blinken, the secretary of state both during and after and excuses were made, finally this report was no surprise to me, they stated in fact that they had advised the president, president biden properly. he just didn't listen. high levels of incompetence. elizabeth: will republicans move to impeach the president over

afghanistan? >> listen, first of all, this is a serious matter. impeachment is a serious matter. we don't treat it as lightly as our democratic colleagues do impeachment that is. we will absolutely be looking at an investigation for high crimes and misdemeanors of course but it needs to reach that level. you know it can't just be incompetence or one might just call gross incompetence but i'm sure that is going to be investigated thoroughly. elizabeth: got it. we want to stay on this, back to nord stream 2. kt, your point is well-taken, gas at a seven-year high. the white house canceled domestic oil and gas production. oil and gas production rescued economy out of recession after financial crisis in 2008. oil pipes are safer than via truck and train. watch jake sullivan on this. watch this? >> you do concede we're no longer energy independent, jake and we were before?

>> what i would say is that the united states is investing massively in being a leader in an energy transition in which yes, for now we continue to use fossil fuels but over the course of years and decades we become a clean energy superpower. elizabeth: okay. avoided the question, avoided it, kt, inflation at its highest level since the '80s. your response to this? >> gobbledygook. they made a really stupid decision to shut down the american energy industry. as a result of that fossil fuels are worse because people continue to use coal, dirty coal, instead of clean american natural gas. we have record high inflation. the russians are rich as could be. price of oil has doubled. so it allows all their malign activities. all goes back to the biden adminstration. elizabeth: congressman dan meuser, kt mcfarland. great to have you on. come back soon. good to see you both. the white house phasing criticism for funneling $30 million into a new program for safe drug use that includes

abuse. an administration with a open southern border allowing the fentanyl and illegal drug use pouring across the border and the government is responsible for opening sites for addicts to continue their behavior? only in washington, d.c., does that thought process make sense. the number one cause of death right now for ages 18 to 45 you guessed it? , fentanyl. where is the fentanyl coming in from now? on the border. record numbers of fentanyl pouring across the border. the government will give them ability for people to overdose and make these sites available? it makes no sense. elizabeth: overdose is responsible for more deaths than gun, suicide, car crashes according to a bipartisan report. murder rate spiking at the largest increase since 1905. that is what pew says. that is the issue we're dealing with, congressman. i like your reaction to what senator john kennedy said on fox

earlier today. watch this. >> i don't think when moms and dads lie down at night in america, can't sleep, they're worried about clean injection sites and sterile crack pipes. the issue, mr. president, is crime. the issue, mr. president, is how to stop it. not how to encourage it. elizabeth: your reaction, congressman? >> i can't agree with him more and you're seeing these crime spikes and these murder spikes and all this crime in democratically run cities and states because they're not allowing law-abiding citizens to defend themselves. they think guns are the problem. guns is not the problem. the crime is the problem. releasing criminals is the problem. letting these people out on bail for violent crimes is the problem. until you start having a tough on crime stance, especially as it relates to violent crime, you will continue to see skyrocketing crime rates. you're seeing it in democratically run states and democratically run cities. those rates are not happening in florida, my district, not

happening in areas that are tough on crime. elizabeth: doj might be willing to allow safe injection sites for people to use heroin and other drugs. dea launched operation overdrive in 34 cities to fight rising crime and drug gangs. they will zero in on areas with rising homicide and fentanyl overdoses. we now have defense attorneys, tort bar, we also have basically prosecutors, we also have this, we're looking at left-wing activists and far left members of state legislatures trying to stop police in state localities and municipalities from using databases to track drug gangs and criminal gangs. your reaction to that? >> well they want to handcuff our law enforcement being effective able to do their job and gun owners, here january 6th in databases to track their behavior, track what they're doing. completely upside down world we're living in. those type of things, more and more governors in republican

states like florida need to keep pushing back on these things. our local law enforcement are the ones on the street protecting us from this crime wave. we need to support them, not handcuff them from being able to do their jobs. elizabeth: fox has obtained a letter sent by senator tom cotton to u.s. attorney general merrick garland saying why did the u.s. attorney's office cut and reduce the sentence for a man in minnesota who pled guilty to one count of arson. he burned down a pawn shop. a man may have been killed inside. it is because the crime was committed during blm riots. this guy was a reported career criminal. criminal record of domestic violence, burglary, theft, another man convicted of attempting to burn down a minnesota high school in st. paul during the riots. only got five-year probation. that is it going on, ordered to pay tens of thousands of restitution. on the front end it is getting hit hard. when you sentence them it is pulled back. your reaction, final word? >> our doj politicized. they have two standards of

elizabeth: joining us now fox news contributor, former congressman jason chaffetz. good to see you, sir. antimandate trucker protests growing worldwide. seeing it in europe, uk and here in the u.s. but canada's prime minister, he is not sitting down

and talking with the truckers. he is belittling them and demonizing them and threatening them. your reaction to this story? >> the fundamental realignment that needs to happen needs to start with people like the prime minister and start putting their priorities in order. they need need to remember who they work for. they work for the people. the people don't work for them and these people have a right to express themselves and do so in a peaceful manner. there just happens to be a whole lot of them and more power to them. hats off to them. they believe strongly in this. they're out there doing what they can do. look, it is february in canada. so it's cold but to do it with their trucks, hey, good. more of it in the united states. elizabeth: what they're saying is, is that, it is not just a vaccine mandate. they're talking about having to quarantine when they need to make money. if they come from the u.s. back into canada they're forced to quarantine. they are saying talk to us, just

back off? they're hitting a hard time. we have a supply chain crisis too. we need truckers but canada's parliament is calling out trudeau why can't you articulate an off-ramp on mandates? they're threatening to probe u.s. donors to these convoys. they will target and identify supporters of it. >> this is government out of control. these are dictatorships disguised as people trying to you know, run a democracy. listen to what they're saying. come up with a gameplan. hear them out. and the truckers make a whole lot of sense. the science doesn't support what trudeau is doing and you know, he just goes into hiding and runs off. i think it is going to cost him political and it should. unless the good people of canada decide that enough is enough. and they continued to empower trudeau he will be in power but he really shouldn't. he is not justifying his, this is not leadership.

this is not leadership. elizabeth: we have to move on to this, potential fraud investigation by the state of florida into gofundme. it reverse addition that will refund $10 million in donations, to thousands of donors to the convoy in canada. gofundme in 2020 shared a fund-raiser for the chaz protest in seattle. we have five democrat aboves saying they will stop mask mandates. california, oregon, connecticut, new jersey and delaware. the first three governors face re-election this year. watch a mom in connecticut talk about the issue with masks. watch this. >> our kids have been stripped daily of basic humanity. they are faceless. it doesn't make sense. we have had little meaningful studies on benefits of masking our cud but i can give you countless indignities these kids are suffering daily being faceless. it makes no sense. i'm just, i'm speechless.

my daughter is a senior in high school. she has not had a normal year since her freshman year. she lost years of her childhood. they have all lost years of their childhood. they don't get that back. what are we doing? this is crazy. elizabeth: your reaction, sir, five democrat governors now say they will stop mask mandates. a lot of democrat officials caught on camera without masks indoors. reaction to what the mom just said? >> hey, i'm with that mom. she represent millions of people who feel just like i do, just like she does, that we are dei fromming our kids. the science is not behind these mask mandates. it is just not. there is a reason why there is a lot of mask science was not going on. now we're finding out they didn't work. there is all these other ramifications. it is sad, it is disappointing but it is time to stop. yet some of these states will continue on. elizabeth: we were looking at how the white house handled the you know, cdc handled the pandemic at the outbreak, they

didn't really push masks. dr. fauci said no to masks. the w.h.o. said in 2019 said it won't stop the pandemic, try it see if it works. clothe masks do not work. your final word? >> yeah, cloth masks doesn't work. there is reason why it wasn't part of 15 days to slow the spread. it just, if you're doing it right you got to have a serious mask. these were never serious masks. the young kids were never ones at risk. elizabeth: got it. jason chaffetz. good to have you on. we're coming into the bottom of the hour. you're watching the fox business network. more rules for thee not for me. house speaker pelosi lecturing americans about quote, moral obligation to reduce climate emissions but reportedly spent half a million dollars flying private jets. that story coming up. but first the reports that the white house is worsening the pandemic. accused of haphazardly rationing covid drugs to the states. we break it down with senator mike braun next on

elizabeth: president biden's top science advisor resigned last night after reports of his bullying treatment and toxic work environment. several shared specific accusations belittled and demeaned women on his staff. mark meredith has more from the white house. reporter: good evening, liz, president biden's top science advise eric lander resign after a story broke he was rude and cruel to staffers at white house. white house admitted lander was investigated late last year that multiple people complained he was violating president's policies requiring respect in the workplace. first the white house was standing by him. officials said he would be closely watched to insure he would change his behavior. last night lander said he was quitting. in his resignation letter, the things i said the way i said them crossed line into being

disrespectful to demeaning to men and women. that was never my intention. nonetheless it is my fault and my responsibility. i will take this lesson forward. shortly after taking office president biden vowed to hold staffers accountable for bad behavior. the white house faced questions about why he was able to stay in the job before resigning on his own accord. >> it was made clear through him during the day yesterday he could no longer lead ostp effectively and he conveyed that in his letter. the president accepted his resignation. reporter: while dr. lander is leaving his post the white house is still thanking him for his service. the white house says he made a noticeable impact advising the president on a number of issues including the pandemic as well as climate change and the cancer moonshot project. elizabeth: mark meredith, thanks for your reporting there. a great report. good to sue. joining us now, senate health, education and labor senator mike braun. senator, good to see you, your reaction to this?

>> whenever you make statements like that in this day and age you probably ought to make sure number one you don't have people on your staff that will put you through that. i think you know, once the information came out, you know could have fired them to make a point of it. when you're sanctimonious like that, liz, and you're talking about it and you vane even had the dilligence to kind of make sure on your own staff you don't have people that will put you through that, i think that's what happens when you're out there kind of moral listic, you pay attention to the details and i think it is kind of almost emblematic of so many other ways that the biden administration has navigating through stuff. yes, in this case, i think there should have been more forceful in terms of getting rid of those individuals when you put so much out there you would do that if it actually event eighted. they didn't. elizabeth: got it, senator. reaction to this

"wall street journal" report that this the white house rationing antibody treatments to the states. florida's governor, other states have been upset about this the report it is making the pandemic worse. it is versus letting hospitals and states order and distribute them as needed. now we're hearing they're running out of the treatments. your response to this story? >> when it comes to that particular supply chain issue which they harp about all the time that is due to just like when they did lockdowns. now johns hopkins says that is only had .2 of a percent effect on mortality. you buy into it. it is bureaucrat in the first place. remember originally they didn't want to do the trump vaccine. then they said they were going to distribute it, get it out there. they gambled, that that vaccine was going to be a silver bullet. it has been kind after leaky one from the get-go. we're lucky we've got it. as a result they didn't put the the emphasis on therapeutics.

they kept doctors prescribing stuff they want to do for patients. now when you put some eggs in one basket and the vaccine is not working, therapeutics are probably going to be just as important but we're faltering there. this is an example of it. one size fits all. you got it. elizabeth: we have to live with it, we have to have drugs out there. let me, bear with me on this, senator. the viewer, if you could stick with this, you will see how haphazard it is what "the wall street journal" is reporting, end of november. the white house stopped shipments of glaxosmithkline antibody treatment right when omicron hit. it increased shipments of regeneron and eli lilly drugs. hhs told the biopharma reporter told it paused not because of the omicron but surplus of eli lilly drugs. no, it was driven by omicron. then hhs found glaxo drug worked better than the on omicron. it claimed paused shipments to

insure a more balanced portfolio of monoclonal antibody products there. you see the topspin there? your take on that? >> when you have results like that, you got to look at what the root cause was. you know they put so much emphasis on vaccines, they did not have any of these supply chains out there. then they had contradictory policies coming out of our health experts. only recently have the folks that i interview about every three to four weeks fauci and his crew, even acknowledged that therapeutics will be part of the solution for what is now an endemic health care issue. elizabeth: we hear you. >> look at all the distance we've traveled in two years, all the money we spent. now therapeutics look like they could be relatively more important than vaccines. here we are fumbling around. elizabeth: so let's sting on

this stick on this. the white house stopped distribution of regeneron and eli lilly drugs saying they were ineffective on omicron. eight days later they resumed shipments to the states. variability and prevalence ever the omicron variant and the like. then they paused the emergency use authorization for re again regeneron and other drugs. are hospitals officials better than d.c. centralized washington knowing what variants are in the region? we're not properly dna testing. we only test 5% of dna samples for covid variants. why are we doing all this? why not do full on release drugs into the states? >> this stage of the game the government has done about as much as it can. this needs to be turned back over to the health care industry. we're going to be dealing with it year after year. in some type of endemic form and yes, the distribution of vaccines which are flooding the

markets, therapeutics, even prophylactics preventatives need to be out there if we are really going to quell this thing in the long run. they stake out their territory. they're off. return it back to the experts, the doctors, the health care distribution system. let's get the government out of it. we don't knock anything out of the park here bureaucratically, top down and many cases legislatively to boot. elizabeth: senator, always terrific having you on, senator mike braun. don't be a stranger. come back soon, love your insights. come back to see you. >> my pleasure. elizabeth: white house accused of stonewalling release of i.c.e. data on criminal arrests. the story it will them look bad. the story we're been reporting on for years, the border crisis fueling the drug problem in america that story coming up. first more rules for thee, not for me. house speaker pelosi lecturing americans are our moral obligation to reduce emissions for the climate but the speaker spent over half a million dollars flying private jets.
