"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. jackie: good evening and welcome everybody. ceo elon musk releasing details on twitter's suppression of the hunter biden laptop story. were waiting for the details. kelly o'grady has the latest.

>> you can always count on elon musk for wild news on a friday. how many times have we done this sitting here at 5:00 p.m. he tweeted this out earlier today. if we could bring up the tweet he says what really happened with the hunter biden suppression story by twitter will be published on twitter at 5:00 p.m. eastern. he followed that up with a few more tweets including he's going to do a live q&a. the entirety of twitter right now is refreshing myself included. he sent another tweet this one saying they were checking the facts and likely going to be up in 40 minutes. that heaves us right about now. here's what we can expect he is been teasing this that twitter interfered in elections there was a bombshell statement when the platform next head of safety stated in a recent interview that he never thought the story

should be suppressed. i want to read you a quote from that he said we didn't know what to believe we didn't know what was true there was smoke and ultimately for me it didn't reach a place where i was comfortable removing the content from twitter. that's a stunning admission for someone involved in everything during twitter at that time and gives you a sense of what we might get out of this. regardless of what comes of the circumstance we can hope to get some answers. people in washington are certainly wanting them. but this is a big mark of what elon musk and tends to do with twitter. he said he wants to make it more transparent and build trust. he wants to increase engagement. clearly we've all been refreshing like crazy. he wanted to be the go to place for big news. this'll be the first example of what the media company could look like under him. i'm literally refreshing my twitter right now, nothing's come up. >> i'm sure you are you and i have had this conversation you is has to wait to friday night to add to the suspense. i'm wondering if he was fact checking or needed the 40 minutes to fact check. don't you think they would've done the fact checking before he went on the twitter rent saying

we we're going to drop the documents. >> you would hope so. i feel for some poor analyst who is trying to make sure everything is right right now it twitter headquarters. yes she would've expected but elon musk is unpredictable. jackie: he is unpredictable that's what makes him great. we will come back to you when you have the breaking news. a lot of people want to know exactly what is going on there. kelly o'grady, thank you so much. meantime for discussion near post columnist john levin join us now. john i'm good to go ahead and start with you because we were having this conversation the other night. a lot of people want to know what happened at twitter with respect to suppressing the st story. the senior executive saying i didn't really want to suppress it. i'm wondering if what elon is going to drop here is that there were other people don't suppress it, put it out there. >> i can confirm i been refreshing my phone and the fox news building every single

second and so far it has not dropped yet. there's a lot of unanswered questions of what went on we know after the post published hunter biden hard drive they were suppressed they were allowed to share the people that were sharing were getting suspended temporarily unless they do deleted the tweets. we don't know about the backing of the process who is behind the decision to do this. who are the voices involved what pressures was twitter facing. i personally would like to see the slack messages that were going on in the company at the time. i would like to see the e-mails getting sent back and forth. i would see if the u.s. government was sending e-mails are in communication at twitter leaders at this time. there's a lot of important unanswered question. jackie: that's a great point i want to see that as well. but also part of the issue we played a clip of senator warren talking about elon musk and she was saying i don't think one person should go into a dark room and decide what kind of conversations people can have that with respect to elon musk. but she's not necessarily saying

that was a problem if and when jack dorsey was doing it. if there's pressure from the top with the suppression of the story from dorsey i would find that very interesting. >> she's really showing what a hypocrite she is. as you said she wasn't worried about this before. i would also like to know not just communications with the government but were the communications with the biden campaign were members of the biden family. it's hard to believe that there was any motive other than to interfere with the election and suppresses story that might've affected the election when you consider the fact that why would they be suppressing a story from a major newspaper like the new york post. it's one of the main newspapers in the country. twitter doesn't have reporters on staff and others to check out the credibility of stories.

they routinely have tweets about stories and newspaper columns and others from every major newspaper in the country and yet they don't suppress those stories normally why would they do it from the new york post. they could be no motive other than politics. >> it was a developing story that was very clear but a story that would've impacted one and five biden voters say they might not have voted for him had they had more information about this and how it unfolded in the days leading up to the election. that is very significant. >> i think it's not an overstatement to say this is the most important story of the 2020 election and a deliberate effort to keep the american people in the dark and ignorant because people realized that it would influence votes and subsequent polling has shows the critical number of americans would've voted differently had they have been aware of the facts on the hard drive and what hunter and joe biden were up to. jackie: and the potential link is really crucial we will see if

we get any more information on the as this develops but i want to come back to you trade when it comes to hunter biden in the business dealings that he did overseas. if there is a linkage between him and the president and so many geopolitical problems right now. many people say our president could be compromised. voters absolutely have to have access to the information so part of what elon musk wanted to do here with step up to the plate, increase transparency and restore confidence in this company. we don't know what is going to drop tonight but depending on the documents and what they say do you think it does restore trust within the public within twitter do think it attracts more people towards a copy? >> yes, transparency is fundamental if you are running a company like this. more importantly is ending the censorship that twitter was engaging in. elon musk has come out and said

he is in favor of the first amendment and he shown that in the moves he made. what is shocking to me is how so many on the progressive left like senator warren thanks censorship should be conducted. it's as if they don't understand the way the first amendment works and they clearly want to chill any and all speech of anyone who disagrees with them on any issue. jackie: i think they understand the first amendment but they look the other way when the censorship works in their favor. that's the way it seems so far. thank you so much for joining us in as soon as we get more information on what elon is going to give us we will bring it to our viewers. in the meantime back again l.a. thinking of returning to the indoor mask mandate and president biden touting the jobs report today. americans are so ill feeling the pain from inflation. former white house council of economic advisers acting chairman tomas philipson next on "the evening edit".

jackie: the labor department said u.s. employers added 260,000 in november while unemployment hold steady at 3.7%. edward lawrence at the white

house with the latest jobs numbers. >> the 263,000 jobs added back to the economy last month until the federal reserve that they are not doing enough to slow down the economy. we can see a 50 basis point hike in the december meeting that's according to new york fed president john williams that's what he told me he supports. in the jobs report leisure and hospitality adding back 88000 jobs, healthcare added 44700 jobs. manufacturing crating 14000 jobs last month and retail going into the holiday season lost almost 30000 jobs. the average hourly wage is up 5.1% year-over-year and cpi inflation up 7.7% year-over-year that is a lot of pain for americans that are not see their paychecks go as far as they did last year. back to you. jackie: edward lawrence for more on the latest jobs numbers let's welcome white house counsel

acting chairman tomas philipson. always great to see you. you be a favor here try to step into the head of jerome powell. just a couple of days ago, he said he can slow the rate of increases which would indicate he's going to continue to raise rates, he has to get inflation down to 2% but maybe it's not 75 basis points maybe it's 50 basis points. why is he dragging this out in this way when there's so much evidence what is doing with interest rates hasn't impacted the economy to get the desired result he wants. >> i think were waiting for the consumer to not be as resilient. what we seen lately is real wage growth and inflation has gone down for people but nevertheless their spending more to adjust for inflation that cannot go on forever. the reason is going on now. most likely due to two reasons, the income consumers got during covid which was an income boom better than any economic boom better than the past for people.

also there taking on a lot more debt. in the income boom of covid they saved a lot of money because they were sitting at home and they still have the savings of the wealth is a little higher than it was. i think people are waiting for this to run its course and then the jobs are still being added because the consumer hasn't slowed down. people had to stop by and step up for the companies lay off workers making stuff. jackie: i get that. last night we showed a graphic of the 20 states that are sending out stimulus checks again to help people cope with rising inflation. of course you have the debate over the student loan debt forgiveness. all i'm saying from local and federal government is more stimulus creating policy and environment. i say to myself the rating putting powell and a bad situation. his hiking rates and fixing this

and they put money into circulation. that is not helping. >> is going both ways too. that's the tricky part the both stimulating demand but there also cutting supply for workers. that's why you see the wage growth being so rapid in the last three months now because the government is basically paying people to not work. the most significant one is the medicaid subsidies that is going out throughout the middle class now with all the covid expansions. he used to be able to get your health insurance through your work needed to work to get your health insurance now you don't need to. so the people in the margin there is a lot of missing workers because of the subsidies out there and that's why wages get pushed up as they have recently. jackie: that is a really, really good point. because we've been having this conversation why is participation continuing to be low why are people going back to the workforce. i keep saying is the stimulus program in socially oriented

programs but you're right that's an incentive to get people back for the health benefits romance another thing that is being handed out right now. tom it is good to see you, thank you. >> thank you. >> oil officials claim in the biden administration for their decision to greenlight chevron to resume pumping oil in venezuela. joining us now to discuss petroleum association of wyoming president po over mueller. it's great to see you. there is a lot of criticism of this decision and rightfully so, the biden administration continues to say this is all about big oil in this country. they don't want to pump, there are 9000 leases out there. he does not tell you the agency still issue the permits so people can drill on the leases and they don't want to make the investment because he says he wants to cripple the industry so now we are doing business to try to get supply up with venezuela who will profit from this as well and a lot of people say not of this makes sense. >> thanks jackie for having me, hello from wyoming. it doesn't make sense and i

think we have to take a step back and remember who we are doing business with here when we start to free up the sanctions on venezuela. this is one of the most repressive regimes in the country supported by places like china and iran and russia and it's not friendly to the united states and for the biden administration to be going to them hand-in-hand to try to increase oil production when here we are in wyoming the 44th state in the union the eighth largest producer of oil and gas and we continue to be shackled by the administration in terms of producing our own domestic energy with their own employees right here in wyoming. jackie: i don't agree with the decision to do this but i'm actually not as shocked by a by other people are because i said to myself months before he went over to saudi arabia he wanted to make a deal with the saudi's to boost production, opec plus, russia would obviously play ball with biden but he realizes he's in a pickle with respect to

supply, he cannot keep draining down the spr so he is looking for a short-term solution without jeopardizing his long-term green energy vision, that's what i think. >> i think that's exactly right. he is trying to have it both ways here. he can say to his environmental allies that that is doing everything that he can to halt production on federal lands but you may not know half of wyoming is owned by the federal government and almost two thirds of the subsurface minerals is owned by the federal government. were highly depended on the decisions that they make and it's really the only area where the federal government has authority like this. he can say to his environmentalists he's doing everything he can to stop oil production on federal land while meanwhile relied on private land states and other countries to make sure that the production stays high enough to deal with the inflationary issues that you talked about with your previous guest. jackie: i will highlight for our viewers at home that gas prices are down if you look at the aaa averages but there's a lot going on in china with the lockdowns reducing demand as well and i

think you see some consumption changes here in the united states. real quick do you agree that's why prices are down at the moment? >> yeah. i think we can high pressure coming up we saw what happened with opec we saw what happened with russia and i don't think with the biden administration has done is going to help the situation. the strategic petroleum reserve, jobs are going to stop shortly. so domestically we're going to do everything we can to keep producing and keep producing as much as we can to push it to the refinery so we can drive those prices down. it's what we do well in wyoming and other places. we just need to be set free to do it. jackie: we wish you the best, good to see you. thank you. democrats approving a plan for south carolina to host the parties opening primary in 2024 area that has always gone to iowa. is this their play? south carolina democratic voters are majority black versus rural iowa. this still needs to go to a full

pre-covid the said the exact same thing in the very first coronavirus select committee meeting and was attacked and canceled a little bit over that. look at the data is pretty clear now, there is no evidence that the masks work in the non- healthcare setting. this makes no sense. it's crazy. >> actually the masks do more harm than good in some cases in the case of children. >> in some cases, that is right. jackie: in the case of children. >> right, the californians are all moving to tennessee because of this crazy stuff. we need them to get a clue over there. they're pouring to tennessee. 367,000 people left california and 2021. so the totalitarianism ccp -like activity coming out of gavin newsom is having a ripple effect on other states. jackie: if i ask about vaccine

situation in the military with the mandate in place as i mentioned almost three years after the pandemic broke out in full force. the vaccines did not prevent infection as we were promised they would. we do know the vaccines wear off after a certain amount of time so any protection they would give you to reduce your level of illness eventually fades as well and that's why they're telling everybody to get booster after booster after booster. what is the logic behind holding the vaccine mandate in place spivak i think the better argument against the vaccine mandate. in the patient population the number of people who are actually significant impacted is infinitesimal. if you look at the number, they essentially recruiting down 15000. they have 66000 in the national guard that they're basically not allowing to deploy in that 77000 people.

that is the biggest threat to readiness is the vaccine mandate and not the virus so this insistence is absolutely destroying military readiness for nothing. there is no upside. >> that's an excellent point. i'm glad you made that. i'm trying to get before let's broaden it to the general population who they keep telling get the boosters, do all these different things would be this. every time the virus has mutated, we used to give them names, omicron and delta all these different things we don't do that anymore. it does seem to be weakening which is what we expected it would do overtime or were building natural immunity to it or we have herd immunity because so many people got the virus already. the amount of people that are being hospitalized or dying from covid is nothing like what it was when the outbreak began. >> you gave several reasons there weakening of the virus itself, although that what you said is true and combined herd immunity, all of it.

we are much more protective society. so this insistence that these young healthy military aged people get a vaccine is stupidity. it is actually harming our nation's national security. jackie: i think you're right, i'm so glad we had the opportunity to discuss it with you. congressman mark green, thank you, have a wonderful weekend. >> you to. jackie: shame on the u.s. government at house report reveals more government ppp loan fraud. will dig into it. the last day of early voting for the very important georgia senate runoff race. polling suggests it's going to be a tight one already more than 1 million voters have cast their early ballots. congresswoman van dyne here next on the early edit. ♪

jackie: welcome back president biden is aiming to drastically reshape his party's presidential nominating calendar for 2024.

the move would knock out iowa and replace south carolina hosted first dnc primary. his reason more diversity. fox news rich edson is in washington, d.c. with more. >> good evening jackie. american voters usually start the process of picking the president with caucuses in iowa and then primary in new hampshire pre-perhaps no longer for democrats the democratic national committee rules committee approved the plan this afternoon that moves south carolina to the first lot the new hampshire, nevada followed by primaries in michigan and georgia. this is president biden's plan. he argues democrats need more diversity to top their nominating calendar. biden wants to eliminate caucuses where voters gather in states like iowa and publicly declare support for a candidate. biden faces strong opposition from democrats in iowa and new hampshire who point out states have to change their laws to sync up with the national party.

the full dnc would have to approve the plan in a meeting in february. the dnc chair does have the authority to unseat seat delegations from the nominating convention if they disregard the new rules. jackie back to you. jackie: rich edson for more on this congresswoman beth van duyne joins us now. it's great to see you. thank you so much for being h here. let's talk about this i have a portion of biden's letter to the dnc. we must ensure that voters of color have a voice and shoot choosing anomaly much earlier in the process throughout the entire early window. for decades black voters in particular have been the backbone of the democratic party but have been pushed to the back of the early primary process. we rely on these voters but not recognize their importance in our nominating calendar. it's time to stop taking the votes for granted and time to give them a louder in earlier voice in the process. he's been criticized for this statement as many are saying it doesn't look good for you and

iowa it would look better in south carolina so you want to rewrite the rules. >> that's what he's been doing the entire presidency. they can't win so they just change the rules. it's more pandering to the largest pandering president we've ever seen and it's all virtue signaling. right now he's highlighting georgia because you have a race going on in georgia right now is always going to pander to the voters in georgia, look how important you are. are they really concerned with diversity if so why are they going to capture 93% white. why not look at texas they have the largest black population of all of the states. it's the second most diverse state in the country why are we not concentrating on those states. jackie: it won't work there. >> that's exactly right. jackie: having said that do you think this is a nod biden is planning on ready to get in 2024. part of me says yes that's certainly possible but not likely because of his age and says this would be good for any democrat that was running so he

would -- >> i think the question is who actually wrote the letter. biden's name may be on the bottom but who actually wrote the letter. who is making these decisions and wife and those are questions we can ask but i don't know the answers, do you know the answers to that? we asked them all the time we don't get the answers but we can speculate. we don't go down that road for now. let's talk about the runoff in georgia. i want to ask you about this. in georgia specifically, stacey abrams has been someone who talked about voter suppression. you have a a million early vote for this runoff race. in your going to sit there and tell me we have a problem with voter suppression and the republicans are trying to keep people from voting and skewing the election results. all these people say the same thing, it is mind boggling. >> corporations as well, you think about delta and coke new look at mlb and how they pulled out of the state warning of the new law was going to be voter suppression.

not seen that many people vote their breaking record. >> if anything we extended the early voting periods. >> people are around the block. >> anybody can mailing a ballot it's amazing. i wanted to get your take on that we saw pictures from president obama going down to georgia campaigning for warnock he was strong when he came to pennsylvania and he has a lot of power and influence with people, your thoughts on how that might impact the way that this goes. it seems like it's going to be a tight race. >> you have a lot at stake at the georgia race. people are saying we may not have the majority, we will have the majority but having a 50/50 split means committees. you think about all the different legislation that they can get out of committees. this is a key national race. we have to make sure the people are getting to the polls and that voters understand what's at stake here. it's going to be a tough race and they are pulling out all the stops. when barack obama is coming to your defense and having to come out you know that they are desperate. they are desperate to win this

race but it's down to the wire and i encourage anybody who's not come out to understand a 50/50 right now in the senate is better than what we would have a 41@49 - 51 because literally the majority on the committees can pull out all sorts of legislation and force them for about. >> every vote matters these are six-year terms and they roll over and you can see this having an impact on the vine a point being made also. let's talk about the republicans in herschel walker he faced some challenges but he is gaining his momentum. i'm just wondering do you think the same way they brought barack obama are the republicans doing enough for walker? >> the republicans are trying to but money does mean a lot in marketing to get your money message out. they spent millions and millions of dollars a lot more than herschel has spent to destroy this man's credibility. yet some of his beloved in georgia and beloved nationwide who is an outspoken and

conservative and unabashed conservative which they hate so they're going to attack him on this. the republicans i think are trying to do as much as they can. jackie: governor camp has rolled up his sleeves, he's gotten out there. your congressmen were so gone out there and endorsed and worked for him, yes editors who are doing it. it does come down to money but it also comes down to the message and the candidate. he's working his towel off and we need to make sure everyone in georgia gets out and understands what's at stake. jackie: great to see you. we will be watching tuesday december 6. moving on china, were talking about meddling and u.s. politics. we have more on the alarming news of how china can use tiktok to bash republicans like ted cruz, marco rubio and greg abbott. tax pair should be outrage reports of $80 billion that might've been stolen via covid ppp loan fraud, economic expert mitra shell right here on "the evening edit". ♪

jackie: welcome back everybody. let's get straight to kelly o'grady live in los angeles. she has the details about elon musk releasing details of twitter suppression of the hunter biden laptop story. what did he say? >> i see in my return that i'm looking down so this is coming through right now on twitter. it is coming in parts. it says read the twitter files. what you are about to read is the first installment of a series based upon thousands of internal documents obtained by sources at twitter. the next reason tells an incredible story from inside one of the world's largest platforms. the frankenstein tale of a human built mechanism grown out of the control of the designer. we have a build up here right now. we don't have anything more yet.

nothing more has come through. elon musk tweeted that with popcorn emojis. that's all i have for you right now. i wish i could provide you more but those three tweets are all we have so far. jackie: he's really dragging it out. >> he is. jackie: thank you. we know when there's more details you will bring them to us. i would get back to the new york post john levin to comment on what you know, so far what is saying he's stringing this along and definitely building it up. what do you think is taking so long. >> i'm just following on my phone with the rest of you. i kind of think, it's a little prosaic because a little pr and marketing happening. i don't really believe there was a fact check. i think elon probably had the stone up for a while and what were seen as a deliberate rollout even to not put it out himself but for matt to heb to leak it out, a journalist and for him took tweet that.

it all seems very designed for maximum height which is fine as long as we get the documents at the end of the day i see what you're saying about the theatrical aspect. it feels like a show and he sprinted it with the twitter files but what do you think he is going to tell us when it comes to the executives in charge making decisions that they had to know that would impact a u.s. election? >> we have to know who is actually making the decisions, we have to know the reasoning behind his decisions and we have to know what pressure was being exerted on twitter to make these decisions and where the pressure was coming from. jackie: if it was jack dorsey, he's gone and now elon has taken over and he'll say i'm going to save the day going forward but to your earlier point in a block when we were talking about this what if we do find there was a government influence or request from the government that certain

moves be made. >> house republicans are doing a wide range of probes and hunter biden is the marquis investigation at the house oversight committee will be looking at. i would not be surprised what we see tonight could result in people and elon musk and former twitter executives coming before congress to answer questions based on information we see tonight or whenever elon musk chooses to release it. jackie: why do you think he waits for friday nights for these announcements. it's not the first time it's strange to me i think it's not when you would get the maximum audience actually. >> is very bizarre. as you know you're in the industry is the worst time to release news. everyone wants to go home and have a nice weekend and go out. nobody wants to be on twitter on friday night. it's a terrible place to be. but here we are, i don't know. jackie: a larger question, he paid 44 billion for the company. i think he knows he overpaid and

many people have criticized him for the deal he made, he may be trying to back out of it or whatever but having said that, do you think this is what it was about, does he really want to transform the company long-term. i think he believes in free speech and we know that but do you think it was getting some of this information? >> i think first and foremost he wants to make money he took twitter private and east doing things like the 8-dollar verification rollout and trimming staff to create a profitable company. that's the goal of any businessman like musk. as the richest guy in the world he has a history of doing it. but i do think that buying twitter spoke to a lot of his core beliefs about free expression and free speech. genuinely he was very curious. it's a private company now but it is our public square and he asked ceo is the guardian of our public square and he felt strong moral and ideological reasons for wanting to own and preserve free expression in the platform which had been preserved.

i think a lot of what you said is accurate. jackie: john levin thank you for standing by and refreshing your feet as callie has been to. when we have more we will come back to it. good to see you. the files are out we are monitoring not. elon musk's twitter feed for more information. as soon we have more we will bring it.op le♪ y mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need!

jackie: welcome back. more details on twitter read let's get straight to kelly o'grady live in los angeles. >> as we've all been refreshing a number of tweets have come out from that to heb that is who is releasing all the information and the bombshell news that just came out i apologize i'm reading for my phone screenshot from saturday october 24 and 2020. this would be days before the election and they are saying request would come in connected actors to delete tweets. there is a number of tweets in the screenshot that the biden team had sent to twitter that we want things reviewed in the reply would come back handle.

what we are learning and we will learn more as more of this comes out but the biden team was sending tweets that they wanted reviewed to to enter and actors inside of the company were handling them. pretty bombshell news this far. jackie: yes it is. kelly o'grady. joining me now pat fallon on the house oversight and reform committee. it's great to have you here tonight. i do want to talk about china and tiktok but we have to react to the news for a moment. what do you think about the biden team taking screenshots of tweets and sending it to twitter management saying investigate this look into this. >> it is chilling it's literally putting your thumb on the scale was an honest and fair election cycle when twitter is supposed to be a public square platform neutral and clearly they wer weren't. jackie: is really interesting, we are all waiting for the details of his going to release them of who it was that was orchestrating this within the organization and acquiescing with these kind of demands. it'll be really interesting to see and how this is related to

the hunter biden laptop story. his piecemeal releasing these tweets. let's get to china tiktok story as well. this is a conversation that is hot right now. these reports of the chinese government basically was using tiktok to bash republicans, kind of related in some ways when it comes to the twitter censorship stories because of platforms and i were talking about a foreign government getting involved in influencing the narrative in this country. >> it is frightening, i think the chinese communist government fears the republican party far more than democrats. look what president trump did in four years he stood up to china the first u.s. president to do so in decades if not ever in joe biden is just putting his head in the sand. tiktok is being used as a propaganda tool to indoctrinate our youth and by the way look at the terms of service, they have access to the files, data, context even keystroke patterns that could potentially compromise your username and passwords.

i don't use and i would encourage every american parent to get their kids using something else but not tiktok. jackie: we don't know what they will do, they have it there sitting on it and not necessarily knowing where or how this will play out. even democrat senator mark warner said that trump was right about trying to ban tiktok. >> trump was right about a lot of things after is out of office pre-president trump audit ban tiktok, senator warner said he was right now we have brian carr from the fcc who also said we should probably be on it and we should call on i have in our office apple and google to remove them from the platforms. jackie: have two minutes left, get a broadened up the conversation because john levin from the new york post is still with us we've been talking to him about the twitter story. i would get your impression from the news that kelly broke from us saying the biden team was taking screenshots of tweets and telling twitter to look into the tweets. >> that's everything. this is what we've all suspected

for such a long time. this is right around with the hunter biden story was released and we see the very least active collusion between twitter which censored the information the biden campaign. i want to know who biden team is. i want another point person who are they communing with, because that person needs to be part of the broader investigation. jackie: i'm sure he will shed more light and expose people deeper, it seems like it but not a piece at a time but what is so interesting to me when it comes to the way twitter was operational before and the way it was being run in suppressing the speech of republicans, every democrat was fine with her. but now they're up in arms with elon musk who is insane i'm going to suppress democrat speech, he sustained a benefit the republicans back of the platform and let them have the opportunity. >> to be fair in dissent. >> that the best $44 billion i've ever seen spent is elon

musk, evening the playing field and let them into people decide when they have accurate information and truth in con context. >> there is so much that went on during the show tonight, i'm so glad to have your insight, john levin i thank you so much for standing by and kelly o'grady in l.a. to bring us the latest. obviously this is a developing story with twitter and we will continue to stay on with fox business. i'm jackie deangelis and for elizabeth macdonald. you are watching "the evening edit" on fox business. we are going to have more information on elon musk in the hunter biden laptop go online to foxbusiness.com for that. that does it for us. as always thank you so much for watching. have a wonderful weekend. >> from the fox studios in new york city. this is "maria bartiromo wall street". >> happy weekend to all, welcome to the program that analyzes the week that was in helps position you for th
