questioning why the president is farming out energy production when it could be done right here at home. elon musk saying he may release information related to twitter censorship of the hunter biden laptop sorry during the 2020 election. plus, global markets fall after rare protests erupt in china overseer row covid lockdowns. i'm jackie deangelis in for elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. jackie: good evening, welcome everybody. we take a look at your money. dow dropping near 500 points amid growing supply chain concerns and renewed concerns over the nation's energy supply as the biden administration opens the door for chevron to produce and export oil from venezuela. edward lawrence with the latest for us. reporter: jackie, u.s. oil

industry representatives that the u.s. gets nothing out of this deal but because nicolas maduro's representatives sat down to talk about elections with no guaranties, the u.s. lifted sanctions for chevron to pump oil in velf that oil, whatr product is drilled, has to come to the united states. reporter: the treasury department says this is a limited license, that only allows oil to bypass sanctions. critics say the president should look at texas, oklahoma, south dakota, not venezuela or owe puck plus for more oil. >> this whole approach towards energy makes absolutely no sense. why are we hearing from these people that are very much anti-fossil fuels complaining about this deal? it is more fossil fuels, elsewhere, not from the united states. reporter: there are no whispers of any change in energy policy for this president. jackie? jackie: edward lawrence, thank you, for more on this, congressman darrell issa from

house foreign affairs committee, white house former deputy chief of staff karl rove. congressman, good evening, welcome. start with you first on this. reiterate a statement from the u.s. treasury department that edward quoted from there. treasury said this this action will not be taken in response to energy prices. this is a limited license. as we have said in the past this is about the regime taking the steps needed to support the restoration of democracy in venezuela. now one could step away from this and say, well it is all about energy supply and price right now and if the administration allows drilling in venezuela by chevron, they could just pull the plug when whenever they want citing issues over there where as if they allowed drilling to happen here, it would be much more difficult and it would be a reversal of the biden administration's policy which the president made clear he thinks he is doing everything right, he doesn't want to reverse course? >> he could but he won't. thank you for having me on. thanks for covering it this way.

ultimately we normally lift sanctions in return for an action, not lifting sanctions in return for a vague promise that they might do something like a free and fair election six or eight or nine months into their exporting oil, getting the money from it, that allows this dictatorship to continue to operate. but i think the more important point is, why not in the u.s.? is it really that important for the president to stick to a promise of reducing our carbon production while in fact begging the rest of the world to increase theirs? nothing makes less sense than that. jackie: karl, welcome to you as well. great to see you. i will take a piece of this "wall street journal" opinion piece called biden's dirty oil deal with venezuela. the author states this, the washington occasionally makes miscalculations that helps american enemies, unmine development in poor countries or

harm u.s. interests but to nail a trifecta combines special blend of idealogical incompetence and mercy any rare. your response to that. >> i think that is absolutely on target. i join with congressman issa, that is not how normally we do things, we give relief from sanctions when they do things, not think about doing something. we'll give money to a regime to use it to strengthen its security services hold over the population. we're giving money to an opened a very cat and ally of many of our enemies around the world and we're looking like fools on the international stage. we're not the only people looking at this. this diminishes american credibility f we wanted more oil and gas we could get it in the united states if we took off some unnecessary regulations, spread up approvals for pipelines, made it easier for people to bring energytour

markets. instead we'll look at one of the more corrupt regimes in the world, if not the hemisphere, thumb the nose at the united states and the world for several years now and for what good purpose? what have they done that justifies this? the answer is, nothing. jackie: yeah. peter doocy asking about this today at the white house briefing. let's take a listen. >> why is it the president biden would rather let u.s. companies drill for oil in venezuela than here in the u.s.? >> that's not an accurate take on the president's view. >> earlier this month he said no more drilling. there is no more drilling. >> the president has issued 9,000 permits for drilling on u.s. federal lands, peter. 9,000 of them being unused. jackie: so the president did say that, congressman. we all remember that he said it and white house officials continue to talk about the 9,000 permits on federal land but they don't explain to the american public that you can't just go drill on federal land without

investing in that space and this is something that companies have been reluctant to do because the president has gone after them and says he wants to eradicate fossil fuels. >> there is no question at all the president wants to have it both ways. he wants to take credit for stopping the production of oil and natural gas. he wants to say but look what i've done. the fact is karl rove's former boss, george w. bush, i was with him a month ago and he said to a veterans group but came off as the right thing to say, american energy is the lifeblood of the american economy and that's what this president is attacking. our current economic woes to a great extent are exactly because we've raises the price of energy. if you look at the price of diesel to deliver goods and services, it is through the roof. if you look at people being told it is going to be very cold in new england and in new york this year because they either can't get or won't be able to afford home heating oil.

these are things that are real, that are happening in america today and they're happening because of a policy and a policy that the president has made clear he is not going to change. jackie: yeah. carl, obviously american consumers are bleeding money right now because of 7.7% inflation. i keep saying there is no way the fed can continue to raise rates very aggressively and will do damage to other parts of the economy but there is no real way to get prices down without bringing oil prices down and diesel prices down as the congressman is saying. and until we do that, until we figure it out, when we have the supply right here at home nothing is going to change. >> yeah. look, i have a certain respect for john kirby but he ought to stick to national security and military matters. when it comes to energy, you talk to anybody in the oil business and they will tell you about the regulations and unnecessary interference by this administration in the production of domestic energy. its transmission to refineries and marketplaces.

they're doing everything they possibly can to drive the cost of hydrocarbons up and to discourage people from being able to produce abundant, low-cost energy for the american people. and john kirby can say they have 9,000 permits this and that, he obviously has not talked to anybody in the energy industry what they're doing to make it difficult to build a pipeline, difficult to build a transmission plant, make it difficult to drill. labor, put a bunch of unnecessary regulations on top of oil and energy production. this is what is causing the prices to go up. supply, more supply will bring down prices. the administration is stuck between the their claims that they want to do something about energy prices and their policies which do little except drive up the cost of producing energy. jackie: the president has drained the spr almost halfway, roughly and so now turning to venezuela to try to make up for it. it has got a lot of people scratching their heads. congressman, great to see you.

karl rove, great to see you too. >> thank you, jackie. jackie: thank you. a bid to restore public trust elon musk says that twitter must explain its censorship of the hunter biden laptop story. what details will we hear? plus a possible rail strike that could further devastate supply chains and your holiday gifts. former economic advisor to president trump steve moore next on "the evening edit". sta ♪ this is financial security. and lincoln financial solutions will help you get there. as you plan, protect and retire. ♪ [coughing] hi, susan. honey. yeah. i respect that. but that cough looks pretty bad. try this robitussin honey. the real honey you love, plus the powerful cough relief you need. mind if i root through your trash? robitussin. the only brand with real honeyand elderberry. ♪ over the last 100 years,

♪. jackie: cyber monday in fulling swing with shoppers stocking up for the holiday season. massive rail strike threatening to further disrupt supply chains, stoke inflation, it could even cost the united states economy as much as two billion, that's right, two billion dollars per day. madison alworth is in bayonne, new jersey with the report. madison? reporter: jackie, the stakes could not be higher as potentially devastating rail strike would cost about $2 billion a day and put more pressure on already struggling supply chain just ahead of the holidays. that is why over 400 business groups through the chamber of commerce are pleading with congress to prevent the strike. congress can impose a contract on both parties, or extend a negotiation cooling-off period. there is urgency because trains carry 30% of cargo. if that mode of transportation

was taken off the market it would be nearly impossible to replace. half a million trucks would be needed to replace rail. with the current trucker shortage it is not feasible. even before a official strike, companies are shifting to instruction as a preventative measure for perishable goods and hazard does material. strike would not have impact on holiday stores on the shelves but paid made it through prestrike holiday. if you rely on shipping companies like ups to get gifts to loved ones in other states as there could be a delay as companies shift from rail to trucks. these adjustments could begin as early as december 1st. jackie? jackie: madison alworth, thank you. former economic advisor to president trump steve moore. great to see you. >> hi jackie. jackie: president led us to believe, his team led us to believe the situation was under

control. i'm paraphrasing, that was the sentiment that was put out there. it was clearly not. the president talking about this in nantucket real quick. president biden: my team is in touch all the parties and -- with all the parties and i have, i have not directly engaged yet because they're still talking. jackie: all right talking obviously isn't working. this is a real threat. it could really cripple the u.s. economy. >> yeah, jackie. if you think we have supply chain problems now, wait until we have a rail strike. by the way i think there is still a pretty decent chance this will be averted through a last minute negotiation or as that letter from the 400 business groups are saying, congress would have the authority to step in here in an emergency basis and avert the strike. i hope it doesn't come to that but you're right. i mean what was it, two or three months ago when joe biden had that press conference in front of the white house, i think he was in the rose garden, it was

mission accomplished. look there will not be a strike. it's a little suspicious that lasted through the end of the election. now that the election is over we have another strike looming. 1/3 of our goods and products are transported on rail. in your report you talked about well we may have to transport more things by trucks obviously if the rail system isn't working but jackie, if you look what happened to the price of diesel? jackie: i've been watching. >> it is $6 a gallon! this is just going to make inflation worse and it couldn't come at a worst time for consumers and families who are going to try to get the gifts under the christmas tree. jackie: we're talking about the threat of job loss here of 700,000 jobs. it could cost the economy roughly two billion dollars a day. why does this administration feel the need to sort of push everything to a crisis tipping point before something actually gets done? i think you're right, congress probably will step in and act here but this has been mismanaged.

>> so you may recall, jackie, a couple of months ago, my group, committee to unleash prosperity did this report showing almost none of the people, high level people in the biden administration have any business experience whatsoever. so i think part of the problem -- take pete buttigieg, pete buttigieg doesn't know how to negotiate something like this. he has never been a businessman. so many people in the administration, the whole concept of negotiating something like this is alien to them. i think biden really needs to bring in people who are competent in terms of dealing with crises like this because we still have at least two more years off the biden presidency. jackie: as we're speaking we're getting a statement by president biden on the issue. we flashed on the screen. i want to read it for everybody, now the president is saying calling on congress to pass legislation immediately to adopt the tentative agreement between railroad workers and operators without any modifications or delay to avert a potentially crippling national rail shut

down. this is what i mean. >> yeah. so let me be clear on something though, that would just be another temporary reprieve. jackie: right, a bandaid. >> at some point you have to get this thing negotiated. i think rail workers have a pretty good case here that they need a raise. i think they want 24% over certain numbers of years, jackie, when you have 8% inflation, that kind of raise is not -- this reminds me of what happened in the '70s, you have a lot of labor strife. you get a lot of strikes when you have runaway inflation because workers are, their living standards fall. jackie: they want the higher wages but they also want the paid sick leave. that is my understanding. that none of that has been included in there. >> that's right. jackie: since covid and the lockdowns and everything that's happened they feel undervalued and also being ill is an issue right now, right? you have to take time off from work, to try to heal and get better. they say we need to have the paid sick leave but somehow --

>> jackie, that is a problem for the rail owners. they can't have people not showing up for work. the system has to work. i see both sides on that one. this is just incompetence by this white house not having resolved this six months ago before the 11th hour. jackie: yeah. i mean i'm just wondering because you mentioned diesel prices right, well over five dollars a gallon. we talk about ininflation. we mentioned this in the last block what we're dealing with the energy situation in this country and the supply problems we have and the president saying chevron you can go to venezuela to pump oil there but you can't do it here. i keep saying this over and over, until we figure out the supply problem here in the inflation will not tick down, no matter what jerome powell does. maybe it will come down a little bit. you're not getting it down to 2% just by raising rates right now. >> i couldn't agree more. you're exactly right about that the inflation is a result of two policy mistakes, blunders by the

biden administration. one is declaration of war on american energy that raised energy prices that proliferate throughout the entire supply chain of all the goods and services. the other one is $4 trillion of spending we can't afford. those are two things congress will have to do something about when the republicans take over the house in january. jackie: as i see what he is doing in venezuela with chevron, i'm saying to myself, everything it all has to do with price. it all has to do with up supply. the president's back is up against the wall here when it comes to oil for example. he is going to venezuela as a bandaid, a quick fix where he knows he can pull the plug. here in the united states he doesn't want to give the green light because it would be more difficult to real it in. obviously he has an agenda. final word. >> we could be producing two or three million more barrels per day if we kept the trump energy policies in place which was basically to make america the energy dominant country of the world. sad to see where we're at today. >> steve moore, good to see you

jackie: welcome back. twitter ceo elon musk teasing release of details how the company censored the hunter biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 election in an effort to quote, restore public trust on the social media platform. hillary vaughn is on capitol hill with the latest. hillary? reporter: good evening, jackie, well the new twitter boss elon musk hints he is willing to give users a peek behind the curtain about what went down that led to twitter censoring the hunter biden laptop story on their platform in the critical days leading up to the 202 election. musk replying to a twitter user request release all internal discussions that led to the censorship in the interest of transparency. musk tweeting back says this is important to get the public trust.

jack dorsey said they were wrong to censor the story which at the time they said violated the hacked material policy. several news organizations have verified it as legitimate, cbs knaus the latest to do so. republicans on capitol hill eyeing the majority in january they will use the oversight powers who at the fbi warned this was quote, russian disinformation and investigate the former intelligence officers that signed a letter saying that. >> former high level intelligence community officials signed a letter saying this was all russian disinformation. it turns out it wasn't. turns out that was a lie. if people are abusing or former post in the intelligence community to meddle in american politics i think that is something we should investigate. reporter: jackie? jackie: hillary vaughn, thank you. we have former facebook analyst, kara frederick. thanks for joining us. we'll dig into this story. it is really fantastic. when it comes to twitter, censorship of the hunter biden

laptop story many people say that the election could have gone the other way ifer this aware of this information, if twitter hadn't censored it. jack dorsey apologized for it. mark zuckerberg said we didn't censor it. we pushed it down on the tote tell pole. having said that this critical information that voters need and elon musk is taking the old management to task here. >> that is not just an idea floating out in the ether that the election could have changed. the media research center conducted a poll during election season, postelection in 2020, they found one in six biden voters would have changed their vote had they been aware of information that was proactively suppressed by big tech companies including the hunter biden laptop story. this is something that has material effects on elections and the majority of americans, 52% according to a mac loughlin and associates poll think this

constituted election interference. transparency is requisite and we haven't gotten it yet. when twitter does something, facebook does something, all the big tech companies move to censor they work in tandem with each other. elon musk is breaking the idealogical monopoly. i say go ahead. jackie: when it comes to the censorship and big tech, right, democrats are attacking elon musk right now because they are afraid what will happen if he creates the public square he said he woo. both sides have the opportunity to express their opinions, beliefs, stories, whatever the case may be, they are literally freaking out over it as a result of all of this because it feels like they don't want that information out there. they're going to try to take elon musk down. you know has billions and billions of dollars. i think he is saying bring it on. >> yeah. he is pretty much the only one who is displayed a modicum of effectiveness at this. you do have other states rising up like the missouri attorney

general and partnering with louisiana asking for transparency how the government was pressuring big tech firms to police the speech of americans' information. i think it is really, really important that elon has a early victory here and hopefully the dominoes will fall after that and we'll get a glimpse behind the curtain about the censorship practices disguised as content moderation. jackie: inquiring minds want to know how exactly this decision came to be in the old days of twitter before the election. the "new york post" pointing out over the weekend, joe and hunter biden do black friday despite corruption cloud. you saw pictures of them eating at restaurants in nantucket and president and his family was staying at david rubenstein mansion, 20 million-dollar mansion. you wonder how they walk around seemingly not worried? >> yeah.

you know, i think they know they're protected. this happened again and again. i will go back to the point of the integration of the government and these big tech firms. if there is not not a genuine marketplace of ideas the public can't actually hash this out. the government, which the fbi did, zuckerberg said they were pressured by 50 plus intelligence officials to expunge this potential russian misinformation off the platform, if the government works with these big tech companies to police the speech of americans then we don't have a genuine marketplace of ideas. we cannot have sunlight work as the best disinfectant as the saying goes. we need to express our ideas on these platforms that control the flow of information to americans and not have the government especially pressuring these tech companies with what americans can or cannot say, what they can put on these platforms. jackie: i hear you. a lot of people agree with you,

cara, how will this play out and who is more powerful? can elon musk fight against the wave of what is happening right now or we think stymie his efforts to revive twitter. i say the calls from the left, who say don't advertise on the platform, it is in and next, making commentary if he loses advertisers, he will be in trouble even though he says engagement is the highest it ever has been. >> jackie i agree with you, he faces an uphill battle, when it comes to the two things, apple and google. you know what happened with parler before, where apple and google didn't allow parler in early days of january of 2021, continue to have a post on their app store. then amazon web services pulled its cloud hosting services. if apple and google, there has been a lot of chatter they will not let twitter be on google play and the app store, twitter

aws, if they yank their cloud hosting services as well, i said two things i meant three. i think making sure that those three companies don't again move in tandem to police the speech of americans in the form of elon musk controlling twitter, letting people speak, that is a big problem. there should be policy fixes for this. there are some on the horizon. let's get those moving. jackie: we'll see kara frederick, thank you so much. good to see you. >> thanks, jackie. jackie: more than 180,000 ballots cast in early voting in the georgia senate runoff pitting democratic senator. rafael warnock against republican herschel walker. step down president xi as growing anger in china. china's chief national correspondent is here next on "the evening edit." >> i want to say to the american people, don't think this kind of crackdown, this kind of a lockdown would not happen here. if the left has their way they would not hesitate to do it to

we have witnessed over the past few days in china have been very extraordinary because any kind of a protest in china, you know, beyond the usual, usually gets stifled before it gets even started. so you know, what's going on really is the, the focus off the protests so far has been the zero covid policy, right? some saying that president xi xinping has closely associated with but it is also broader than that. also reflects a kind of a dissatisfaction, resentment and frustration with increasingly repressive political environment in china. you know, the crackdown on dissent, under xi xinping in the past few years has really intensified and people felt like you know, they were not, they have not been able to speak more

freely and move, make movements, travel and all those movements have been severely restricted. so it really has, being a big challenge for xi xinping, perhaps even the biggest political crisis he has had to face in the past 10 years. jackie: yeah. as an observer here in the united states i'm watching xi xinping and every move that he makes, ling-ling, and i'm thinking to myself he was elected for his third term to congress. he is watching what is happening all over the world, how the united states is dealing with vladmir putin for example, how it is dealing with iran and he has become emboldened. so i'm not surprised he is taking this kind of a stance that he is taking but the people certainly seem like at least for now, that they have had enough and i'm just wondering where it goes from here? do we get a situation worse than the pictures that we saw where you do see a real, like a major

crackdown? >> sure. well, the government has already started cracking down on the protesters and we have seen much heavier police presence across the country, trying to prevent new protests from happening. and we have seen police checking peoples cell phones to make sure they don't have foreign apps like twitter, instagram, so they can unload, up load pictures and videos to those apps. so definitely a crackdown has already started but the bigger challenge faced by xi xinping is, what to do with the pandemic. jackie: right. >> you can lock up several protesters but you can't really lock up the virus. you still need to deal with the pandemic. jackie: sure. >> so he faces a very difficult choice between having to, you know, loosen restrictions or, doubling down on restrictions.

jackie: yeah. i would just make this point three years later it feels like this is almost an irrational response to covid you know, here in our country. we rolled out the vaccines. we encouraged people to get them, beat the boosters. we're trying to live with covid the best way possible, ling-ling. how is it possible in chinese harsh crackdowns are still in place? >> sure. you know, in some ways china has been a victim of their own earlier success. the zero covid lockdowns during the early days of the pandemic really helped keep death rates low and reported infections low. however, it also led to a population that you know, hasn't really developed you know, bigger immunity against a virus. jackie: sure. >> at the same time chinese vaccines haven't been as effective as you know mrna vaccines and the chinese have been very slow in terms of developing their own mrna vaccine.

jackie: no. that is a great point. you know a lot of people are saying in the beginning we need herd immunity in this country. that is the way only way well get through this he didn't allow it to happen there so it creates a situation where there is big lag on the ground in china with the covid response. ling-ling, great to see you tonight. thanks so much. >> thank you. jackie: the numbers don't lie. they're showing grim consequences of manhattan district attorney alvin bragg's pro-crime principles, plus georgia's senate runoff is heating up with both campaigns launching attack ads after thanksgiving former senior counselor to president trump,ic kellyanne e conway next on heren "the evening edit".

despite democrats calling georgia's new voting laws jim crow 2.0. joining us to discuss former senior counsel to president trump, kellyanne conway. good to see you tonight. start right there, in georgia, tremendous turn out there, stays stacey abrams and left-wing media saying there is voter suppression anywhere. >> that didn't happen in georgia and record early turnout in georgia in these last elections a couple weeks ago, jackie. we're on pace to have that yet again for the special election. stacey abrams conceded faster this time. the fact she is a two-time loser for governor in georgia, despite doing a great commendable job in registering about one million new voters. so brian kemp, the sitting governor did a really smart thing. he and his team focused heavily, and invested in early voting to try to combat and compete with that vaunted ground game that

abrams has. so if you look at turnout among early votes in the georgia governor's election two weeks ago, kemp actually beat abrams. he tried to stay competitive with the mail-in vote, which is different than the early vote. he only trailed her slightly where a lot of republicans got crushed in the mail in votes this time. a day of voting tends to favor republicans. jackie it is very simple. we don't all like it. we don't like the new rules. i think codifying institutionalizing making permanent covid compelled rules is a big mistake in many places but in georgia where you show voter i.d., where they count the early votes early, then add the day of votes together tell us that night who won much more efficient process than somewhere like arizona took them a week. today they're arguing about certifying election, curing signature stuff. last point about this, i think kemp going out helping herschel walker cutting an ad for him, transferring his critical ground

game and currency could tip the difference for herschel walker against rafael warnock. jackie: abortion was a big issue in the midterms. not necessarily one anticipated to be as high on the list, kellyanne as it was. obviously that is an issue in georgia as well. a lot of democrat voters saying that is one of the top priorities for them. that is something that rafael warnock is, is more sympathetic to. do you think that will play out as central issue or will it be the economy, inflation, all the struggles that people are going through right now? >> it is the same issue set that exist ad few weeks ago, jackie. i think the republicans did a fine job of responding to voter concerns like rising cost, rising crime, education, some abortion, border security and the like, but the democrats came out with a different message. they basically were trying to scare people, democracy on the ballot. the world will end if you don't get-out-the-vote and it worked in some places.

georgia was one of the few places you didn't have barack obama, clintons where you saw them in nevada, pennsylvania, a few other places. of course that changed now. i think everybody is all in for the runoffs. there are always some, always some sleeper issues, statewide issues also vexing perplexing voters. only thing he say abortion i wouldn't call rafael warnock sympathetic. i would call him radical and extreme on abortion. he is up there with the democratic party, abortion any time, anywhere. most pro-choice voters are for restrictions, regulations at some level. jackie: i do agree with you. they're looking for something reasonable. kellyanne, out of time. great to see you. thanks so much. >> jackie, thanks for having me. take choir. jackie: liberal d.a.s turning the criminal justice system on its head. new york city's alvin bragg downgraded half of felonies down to misdemeanors in 2022. retired nypd officer bill stanton on "the evening edit." >> this is a district attorney on day one in his memorandum he

jackie: according to "new york post," convictions have

dropped sharply in new york city under district attorney alvin bragg bro bryan llenas in new york with more. reporter: more felony cases are downgraded to misdemeanors and they are not being prosecuted successfully, using data posted on the d.a. own web site, compare this year under bragg to 2019 precovid 52% of felony cases have been downgraded to misdemeanor, 29% of those misdemeanor cases resulted in convictiontions, dropped from a 53% conviction rate. in a day one memo, bragg orders his prosecutors to downgrade felonies.

in a statement his office said: reporter: victims rights activists are not buying it. >> this is disgusting, at what point does he stop with the public defender mentality and do his job and be the voice of victims in manhattan. reporter: total crime citywide up 28%. compared to last year. jackie. jackie: bryan llenas thank you. >> take it up with retired nypd officer bill stanton. great to see you, there is a huge issue in new york city, i live here, i talk about it all of the time, our streets and subways not as safe, not only alvin bragg not putting people away but the notion that we'll put more cameras in the subways, they don't deter people right now, we'll put more police officers on platform that are scared to do anything to put situations under control. having said that, you have new yorkers that live here that just feel unsafe all of the time. >> well, alvin bragg should

be anything but bragging about what he is doing to the city, it s it -- imploding, there is a mass exodus, those who have chosen to stay live in abject fear. the cameras, that is as good as cameras are working and people monitoring them. you see perpetrators, the recidivism criminals, going out doing crimes again and again, looking at the camera, smiling and waving. jackie: people wishing phone -- with iphones, the video go viral they don't care. >> the bad guys are those taking the video. as far as police officers, they are laughing at us, they know cops will go to jail quickly than the bad guys for doing their job. where is the incentive for a police officer when there they will look to arrest them for doing their job.

it is a bad mix, a perfect storm that will hurt new yorkers. jackie: with alvin bragg, he didn't say, anything other than what he is doing right now, new yorkers put him in place. right? with the midterms, we had an opportunity to put governor zeldin in place, new york decided he said we would remremove -- alvin bragg, n new yorkers saying no we'll stick with kathy hochul and she will do nothing about it. >> a shake your head moment. we see it on tv every day, they say, it is you know we're protecting a minority. biggest victim are the minorities that are hurt, that are being assaulted and robbed. we see it all of the time. it needs to stop, politicians need to stop being politicians and need to start caring about the people they rip. represent. jackie: so many homeless and

mentally ill, i was walking to work this morning a mentally ill man was gunning toward me, i ran to get away. i hope something will change soon i'm not optimistic. >> we need to empower ourselves and watch each other's backs. >> new yorkers are good at, that thank you bill stanton, i'm jackie deangelis in for elizabeth macdonald. you are watching "the evening edit" on fox business, thank you for watching, have a wonderful evening. ♪ ♪ kennedy: will he or won't he? our presidential raisin, 80-year-old president biden said he will run for reelection. we're all doomed. but he has yet to make a final decision because h
