about banning plastic straws and plastic bags, russia is investing in nuclear power and investing in coal power and selling back to us and we're funding this war against putin. elizabeth: we also want to turn to this, general. let's listen to the church bells ringing out across europe in support of ukraine. watch this. [bells ringing] elizabeth: okay. we got that. you now, general, there is also news coming in, this is from jennifer putin of fox news, that putin is backing victor yanukovych. the ukrainian politician ousted in the revolution in 2014. your reaction to that, colonel.

causes, right? >> our deputy secretary of state sherman said we're very concerned about climate change. our energy, jennifer granholm, energy czar, she is concerned about climate change. 15 years ago, europe actually exported more oil and gas than they took in. now because of climate change and climate activists, climate activists in the united states, president, president biden has shut down our energy supplies, shut down the keystone pipeline, green-lighted the nord stream 2 pipeline. finding out a lot of disinformation and climate activists have been funded and it was revealed by nato sources way back in 2014, that they're actually funding this disinformation campaign and helping climate activists to shut down our energy independence and the democrats are falling right in line and they put us in a terrible situation and biden going to our reserves is just showing us as your reporters indicated earlier, all it is going to do is affect us for a couple of

days this is major. elizabeth: we hear you. that is an important point. even russia's second largest oil major, oil company, lukoil is saying do a cease fire. we don't like what is going on. general, there is a move to seize putin and oligarchs assets, yachts, within seized by france and germany. nikki haley saying the bigger hit is to the russian energy sector. the question would the u.s. be higher for higher gas prices on that? your reaction to that? >> i put out a statement already in my candidacy to say that we need to immediately stop buying crude oil and lng. we need to call on opec to ramp up production and free up federal lands and all of the oil capability that we have in this great country to begin exporting. in the near term there will be a short-term hit. here on fox business it will drive the price of gas up. all-americans would rather live with that than thrusting us deep

that. the u.s. did this with iran. now u.s. sanctions do not include a ban on purchases of russia oil and gas. now "newsweek" took a look at eia data. its findings that the purchases are higher than realized. nearly 200,000 barrels a day. edward lawrence is in washington with more. reporter: liz, we're hearing a growing number of democrats who are now saying the u.s. should ban russia energy coming into this country. oil companies operating in the u.s. are already saying they will not accept russian oil. listen to what some of those most critical of the fossil fuel industry are saying now. listen to this. >> right now we're trying to impose restrictions on russia. russia will feel painful restrictions in response to that irinvasion of ukraine and indiscriminate bombing of civilian targets. so i think it means it all should be on the table, including banning the i am port

of russian oil not just here in the united states but among all of the nations. reporter: other moderate democrats agree. adding, sass senator joe manchin should be supplying world energy, not russia. >> we're the superpower of the world. we produce our own energy needs and help the rest of the allies when in need. that is where we are. this is uncharted territory. reporter: republicans are saying it is not just oil, the president should reverse energy policies to expand our energy independence. >> he should permit our natural gas lng terminals that could take lng to europe. that is something that would have a very rapid impact. we should also have oil and gas lease sales on federal lands. reporter: none of that is happening. >> edward lawrence, great

journalism. we have phil flynn and. watch the white house press secretary ignited outrage saying that the white house does not have a tactical focus on cutting the supply of oil from russia as putin kills ukrainians and destroys the country. watch this. >> we are sending tens of millions of dollars per day, not per week, not per month, per day to russia in oil. this government is funding these atrocities you're seeing on tv. >> to hit them in the heart you have to go after what we're producing is oil and gas. we should sanction their oil and gas and certainly not spending american money to import russian oil right now to help them out. >> you heard me say this a few times before but we don't have a strategic interest in reducing the global supply of energy and that would raise prices at the gas pump for the american people around the world because it would reduce the supply available. elizabeth: congressman, your reaction? >> you're talking about 3% of

our daily usage. i just don't, i don't think the american public is too worried about that. i think we should watch the oil companies of course but i don't agree with miss saki at all. this administration, this war was lost a year ago when the, when he shut down our production, when president biden took office. elizabeth: you know to the congressman's point, phil flynn, you've been way out in front on breaking news on what's going on in the oil sector, flynn, phil. so we're going to ask for $10 billion for ukraine. that is what the biden white house wants. how about stop buying billions of dollars in russian oil? >> i think that's the right first step. you know what, liz? the united states energy industry is out in front of this administration. they're already saying enough is enough. they're seeing what is happening in ukraine and they're saying we don't want russian oil. we don't want blood money on our hands. i'm hearing that from people in the industry. so i think it is already

happening. it is self-imposed by the u.s. energy industry. they are leading. the biden administration is behind. elizabeth: to phil's point, congressman, buying russian oil is aiding and abetting murder of innocent civilians and children. just as a power vacuum was left in afghanistan, we left a power vacuum inside of the worldwide energy industry that lead to the emerge answer of putin and other dictators. >> i agree 100%. i proposed legislation to seize their assets, to seize their assets and use that money for our, for usa to russia. i mean to, i'm sorry to the ukraine. >> you know, phil, here's the thing, we've got reports of demoralized you know, russian troops crying, surrendering without a fight. you know they're basically breaking down. they're saying we listened to putin's propaganda for years thinking that ukraine was

committing genocide. we thought we were going in peace-keepers. so they're seems to be a turn about within russia's own troops against putin. there is that. we had a foreign policy advisor to putin telling sky news, this invasion has been embarrassing. so why not throttle down now and stick it to putin hard right now with an oil embargo? >> i think they should no doubt about it. shows a danger when you have a press corps that is basically a mouthpiece for put. it is something we should learn. we should want to hear all sides of the story, not just the party line. that is the biggest danger here. what worries me, here we are talking about russia and ukraine. there is a lot of rumors tonight that the biden administration is desperate to cut a deal with iran to solve all their oil problems. i think that's a big mistake. i think they were making the deal with one devil, vladmir putin and they're exchanging it with another devil iran.

i think it is going to be a disaster but it shows how disjointed their energy policy is, how bad it is for america. it needs to be changed. elizabeth: you know to phil's point, congressman, we have aaa reporting the largest one-day increase in the national average for gas prices in recent history. you know gas price spikes and inflation hit presidencies like the nixon administration. from what you're hearing in washington, how worried, square this. how worried is the white house about a further plunge down, a deeper plunge in biden's poll numbers when it comes to gas prices going up as it relates to an oil embargo on russia? >> it may have to be. everywhere in east tennessee you go there is a sticker on a gas pump, said i did this, there is picture of joe biden. they have to be worried. i don't know if biden is, i don't know what is going on inside of his head, i suspect his people are telling him look,

if we do this, if we stop taking the oil from russia it is going to cause inflation. if we, if we go the other way we're going to tick off our woke supporters. you know he is in the low 30s. i don't know what he is thinking but he is not clearly thinking with his head, that is for sure. elizabeth: congressman burchett, energy pro phil flynn, thanks for spending time with us. good to see you again. come back soon. it is senator ron johnson who is now ripping the cdc. he says they knowingly used a flawed study to justify mask mandates for kids. now even california in an uproar over bad cdc data. it is saying, using it to back botched restrictions in the golden state. more on that coming up. >> there are still places in this country where kids are eating outdoors in the cold and they can't talk during lunch. this whole mask mandate, it has become its own disease.

♪. elizabeth: joining us right now fox news contributor, dr. marty makary. doctor, you and i were talking about masks, democrats, media, dr. fauci saying yes to masks in january and february. slamming texas, florida, governor desantis saying masks don't work. cdc drops the mask mandates. now everybody is silent. >> well, what they're doing is feeling out public opinion. that is what is driving a lot of

policy right now and the american public are realizing data was never there for cloth masks. the only thing it really did was stunt the development of children. we now have kids who basically have been in a bubble for almost two years. almost every single child has been exposed to the virus. the cdc had a flawed study on masks t was debunked. it was never published in a medical journal. it was borderline fraudulent. it was so fraudulent, itver pee. that is the study they continued to cite. elizabeth: that is what ron johnson is upset about. he sent a letter to the cdc director. you knowingly use a flawed study to justify mask mandates for children. the study didn't look at vaccination rates inside of the schools. didn't look at status of that or covid infection rates. it was willy-nilly comparing apples to elephants. >> there were more schools in the study than there were in the

counties they said they studied. the numbers didn't add up. in any other medical journal that would be retracted. but now the time for the cdc to do the right study. give research grants to large universities to study the question what was the pediatric hospital saying of schools open versus closed and those masked versus not masked? that data needs to be done. we need kids never logged on to virtual learning and never showed up with schools are open and rescue those kids. elizabeth: doctor, it is clear how misinformed for years. the public has been misinformed for years on this. now we have california, saying wait a second, cdc, you're using really old, outdated data to justify shutdowns and restrictions in our states. you're saying half of californians are living in counties that have you know, covid risks but they're saying california is saying no. only 1/3. it is 19 counties not 5countys

like your saying there is that too. >> they're using outdated data, they have restrictions far too high so-called in the name of safety. we'll look back and see this is one of the most catastrophic things we could have done with policies without data. the public has woken up on lies they have been listening to for a year. cdc is hiding data, "new york times," wastewater data, vaccination data, complication data, boosters of people under 50 and not disclosed by the cdc,. elizabeth: risk of heart inflammation, myocarditis and more. look at ron desantis he is criticized tilling masks. >> you do not have to wear the masks. honestly it is not doing anything. we have to stop with this covid theater. if you want to wear it, that is fine but this is ridiculous.

elizabeth: he is frustrated. people says he should yell at couple administrators. a couple students stood by their own choices. he is clearly frustrated for that. he is getting blasted for that. reaction? >> the data is pretty clear. a lot of doctors are pointing to the downsides of masks, kids should not be wearing masks based on bad information. the child may be vaccinated. may have had covid already. maybe outdoors. there are some circumstances where wearing a cloth mask makes no sense. even wearing a high quality mask is not necessary. elizabeth: democrats are deciding, excuse me, that the pandemic, they're deciding, democrats are saying the okay the pandemic is over because of the midterms. "the hill" magazine is reporting that the democrat party now moving against masks when just a month ago they were all for them. all this after biden's plunge in the polls. 31 house democrats leaving. nancy pelosi's grip on power is

eroding. we have covid fatigue and fatigue over all of this throughout the american population. your final word? >> well, i think people are just sighing through all of the facade and now democrat politicians are responding to the polling being done. one of the democratic consultants put out a very strong letter, basically saying wake up on covid. you're holding on way too long. if you do so you will lose all the elections. elizabeth: dr. marty makary, thank you for joining us. three dozen gop senators demand the white house give a full accounting of the trillions of dollars spent on pandemic relief. reports grow of widespread theft and fraud. but the white house wants tens of billions of dollars more in spending. we have the latest on "the evening edit". ♪.

indiana to show support for the trucker convoy. it is inspired by the anti-mandate protests in canada. it is set to arrive in d.c. on saturday. your take on this story? >> well i think the trucker convoy is an important moment because it is an uprising of ordinary people pushing back against government tyranny. look, a lot of liberties were infringed on both in canada and the united states during covid and we must never forget what happened when it comes to kids learning and overall mental and economic livelihood of people. unfortunately the media is obsessed with ukraine and they don't care what is going on in north america. elizabeth: you know polls show they, polls show americans agree with you. they're furious over lockdowns that destroyed their livelihoods after the social justice riots destroyed billions of dollars worth of businesses and property. people agree that you know, don't do police brutality but what america endured was really painful. now you have rising crime, inflation and weak on crime

prosecutors letting criminals back out on the streets and ford, there is this, we have senator ron johnson leading a group of about 36 gop senators saying where is the full accounting from the white house on the trillions of dollars in covid-19 spending? the white house wants $30 billion more in spending but hillary vaughn and fox business reporting a lot of fraud here? >> well, let me say this first about the policies of the democrats when it comes to crime, illegal immigration and inflation. nationally americans are paying $380 more a month because joe biden's policies and democrats will pay the price at the ballot box in the 2022 midterms. what ron johnson ask doing, that is absolutely right, based on emotion we're throwing trillions of dollars out the door with no accountability and we fraudsters are taking advantage of it and time to take back the public till and. elizabeth: bureau of economic

research. a powerful non-partisan group in washington. it did a study, found the u.s. media's coverage of the pandemic did ratchet up fears and hysteria, there was fear-mongering going on in the media, nearly twice as negative as europe. every understands a virus is dangerous but i think that people don't understand how much the media is dominating the conversation in a bad way. >> well the american media complex did a disservice to the public during covid. they gas lit people into a psychosis of insanity when it came to covid-19. yes, covid-19 is dangerous but doesn't need to be 91% negative but as corrupt as the media was for ratings when it came to playing up covid the fact many of the stories were about donald trump not wearing a mask, and hydroxychloroquine also tells they're not only corrupt but bias the against

donald trump. elizabeth: gallup in a franklin templeton survey, 35,000 americans, in a poll there, wildly overestimating the panic and the fear over deaths. that the fear was so great inside of the american population they thought that the covid deaths were much higher than what was being reported. you know, but to your point about the crime wave, crime is an issue americans are deeply concerned about. let's watch the police chief of dallas, he is eddie garcia. he testified about how dollars is fighting to push down the crime rate at a u.s. senate judiciary hearing this week. let's watch this. >> continuing anti-law enforcement rhetoric has left honorable officers feeling vilified and criminal offenders often bolstered. i have not met a neighborhood impacted by violent crime in city of dallas, texas, regardless of language spoken, racial makeup, economic status ever asked me for less police but none of the neighborhoods i see want us to go away. elizabeth: you hear that?

that is powerful stuff from the police chief of dallas. your reaction to that, ford. absolutely the media coverage of the george floyd riots, social justice slant to treating criminals as the victims, why we are where we are, why independents will vote republican 2022. not because of anything republicans did, because when it came to crime, public safety, the democrats were flat-out insane. elizabeth: ford o'connell, good to see you. come back soon. we have this, a fight breaks out on capitol hill over what angered parent coast to coast, schools politicizing children. we're talking to a mom leading the charge against that. she is at the center of that fight. she is next on "the evening edit"th. and proactive alerts on market events.

place against our kids. this is happening across the country. so i went there to testify to this truth. what i also was speaking about was the fact that this phenomena of critical race theory, that is the ideology of race at the center of all injustice in our society has led to this new racism. so, liz, what happened is, that representative sheila jackson lee had the last five minutes. and in those last five minutes, she chose to use her time to berate myself and the other witness that was also advocating the point we were making. and she wanted to school us. i knew that i wouldn't have anymore time. so i decided to film the irony of her words juxtaposed with the evidence that i had brought, like this book, woke baby, and this other you know, privilege matrix that they're now teaching in schools with even military

kid as one of the items in the bingo card. i wanted to be able to communicate to others, because i knew that she wasn't going to give me the microphone. that is all that i was doing. elizabeth: what was she saying to berate you? >> all right. so what she did, liz, is first of all she said that i was just political, and you know as well as i do that i came into this fight like so many parents as an accidental activist. i was just a ptsa mom working on a newsletter because i happen to know how to write a thing or two. and then we were told in the summer of 2020 that we needed to check our privileges and that there needed to be race-based admissions to our special school. well, this was issue from the heart about defending the american dream. so first she tried to discredit us. around thin she tried to school us and tell us that critical race theory again was this wonderful philosophy that, that

didn't have these dangerous implications in society. and then guess what she did? she decided to bring forward, looking straight at me, tragic, horrible photos of course of emmett till's murder and educate me, i don't know if she thought i was asian immigrant got off the boat yesterday and don't know anything about american civil rights but my ancestry fought white supremacy in india. my grandfather fought for freedom fighters that got rid of british rule. i know a little bit something fighting off the yoke of racism. around so my empathy of course for all people who have suffered injustice but she didn't need to school me. what she was trying to do was diminish anything that we were talking about related to this very real injustices happening against asian families. a federal judge just ruled on

friday, a huge victory. our families went to court and the judge ruled that indeed the fairfax county school board put in place a system of discrimination against asians. we all know what that means. systemic racism. and that was 12 democratic members of the fairfax county school board who did that. that is the conversation that they did not want to have. elizabeth: okay. wow. it is quite a story, right? like everybody is talking past each other in washington. asra nomani, come back again soon. that is real interesting fight you've taken on. good to see you again. come back soon. this story congresswoman bob better pushing back against criticism over disrupting biden's state of the union speech. wait until you see what the congresswoman is saying now. we have the story next. >> their failures as an administration to secure our borders and protect our communities from illegal trafficking of humans and from

joining us now, former acting dhs secretary, chad wolf, good to see you. let's get the update on the

story brought last night, colorado congresswoman lauren suspending herself today against accusations reached a quorum including chancing build a wall during the president's state of the union address. let's watch what happened again. watch. >> we need to secure our border and fix the immigration system. [cheering] many of the world fittest best train warriors in the world never the same. headaches, numbness, dizziness. a cancer that would put them in a flag draped coffin. i know. >> thirteen of them. liz: chat, there's a lot of reaction against her for that.

she's saying she had a right to say this, your reaction? >> a couple comments, we know members on both sides on the administration obviously will make comments during the state of the union, that's not new and when she talks about building the wall, she's expressing frustration that i would say overwhelming members of congress have an the american public has about the state of the border currently in the fact that there is no strategy or solution to fix the historic prices down there. then the following comment regarding 13 service members who died in afghanistan, i think it is appropriate to express concern the president missed the big opportunity to give things to the service members and families who died, he had time to mention electric vehicle charging stations but didn't have time to mention the service members who died in afghanistan,

it's wrong in the american people believe that's wrong as well. liz: pete speaker pelosi said i agree senator lindsey graham, shut up. i think they should just shut up. speaker pelosi's lost mile high ground after she lost a trump speech. >> absolutely, everyone witnessed that and that was a step too far as the speaker right behind the president a different message than someone expressing their view so i think that you are little different in the state of the union, i don't know that nancy pelosi is the speaker or member has that moral high ground to talk about it. liz: we understand that, there's also frustration. she said she -- the mother of one of the fallen service members lives in her district

the president invited a tech ceo to the state of the union but didn't recognize the families who lost a loved one in afghanistan. >> that's exactly right and when the white house was asked, their response was the president didn't have time to mention everything that was important to the but again when you mentioned electric vehicle charging stations and environmental justice and other terms and you don't have time to mention the social side, i think it's wrong and that's the frustration the congresswoman was talking about and numerous americans have spoken about that time in afghanistan so i think it's a missed opportunity the white house understands was a missed opportunity and trying to backtrack because of it. liz: representative. [two bells tolling] , keep chanted build the wall smugglers physically reached terms for wall 3000 times between 2019 and 21 using power

tools from hardware stores like drills and saws, your response to this? >> the border wall system is always going to be defeated in one way or another and that's not really a. it's building a boardwalk system not only having physical infrastructure but the frozen cameras denial for border patrol agents as it takes longer and longer to defeat a boardwalk system and allows agents to arrest the individuals and apprehend them and remove individuals from the country says about the denial the border wall system provides, the idea no import defeat at everett is a fantasy and members of congress and others like to talk about that and say therefore it's a failure, that is not the case. dhs has never talked about that white and border patrol hasn't you have to understand why you have a boardwalk system to begin with and what it provides the virtual at the end of the bank's we want we have opioid debts

skyrocketing. final word? >> illegal narcotics, and big numbers because you don't have a strategy to deal with the crisis cartel the last 12 months. liz: great to have you, i'm elizabeth mcdonald. that does it for us, thanks for watching and we hope you have a good evening. ♪♪ kennedy: for situation ukraine forget worse, much worse, that's a bone chilling warning from russian batman vladimir putin. so what can the world do to stop him now? scorched our policy, growing scorch year by the day and doesn't care how many people die, he doesn't care about his own people. these badly miscalculated ukrainian bravery and military, thousands of russian soldiers reported killed, many of them
