drop in a year, down 1.1% due to is had historic inflation. federal reserve talking rates above 5% to stop inflation. wholesale inflation cooled down a little, half a point in december. now this democrat senator joe manchin says we do have a problem with runaway government debt spending. the white house shuts down any talk of cutting that spending in the debt ceiling showdown fight tomorrow. edward lawrence at the white house with the latest. edward. >> reporter: liz, white house press secretary karine jean-pierre says the president will not negotiate over the debt ceiling but house speaker kevin mccarthy wants to sit down with the president to talk about where spending cuts should come from so we don't reach the debt ceiling again. bottom line we're at a standoff. republican senator john kennedy said he didn't vote for all the spending doesn't agree with it, but we can't put the full faith of government credit on the
6:04 pm
line. >> if you have a party you have to pay the band. if you're going to borrow money, you have to pay it back. that's true as a moral principle and a principle of practicality. >> reporter: going forward he thinks the administration needs to stop spending so much money and thinks other republicans should not go along with it as they did with the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the chips act. the white house still digging in. >> there will not be any negotiations over the debt ceiling. we will not do that it is their constitutional duty, you think about how congress has dealt with the debt ceiling for the past several decades. it is their responsibility, their constitutional responsibility to act. >> reporter: tomorrow the treasury secretary will institute extraordinary measures to stretch the money so we don't reach the debt limit until stymied june. liz. elizabeth: great reporting, edward lawrence. we have senator bill cassidy from senate finance.
6:05 pm
great to have you back on. what do you make of that report? >> i don't care what the administration calls it but there has to be a plan to address how much money we're spending. most of it as they will point out will be entitlements and these are important. we have to preserve them, we have to strengthen them but they will go insolvent soon if we don't do something. so the administration doesn't have to call it a next over the debt limit. just call it sound fiscal policy. build upon sound fiscal policy and made it where we can get to where we need to be. elizabeth: congress, democrats still not even putting out a budget. no budget to pass on time in the last several congresses. this has been endemic in d.c. as spending and inflation rocket to new highs. looks like we're seeing a staggering, more than 7 trillion-dollar budget deficit the past three years. what, is that what you're hearing too, sir? >> look, clearly we've had budget deficits. now you can very rightly argue that when the pandemic hit, a
6:06 pm
lot of small businesses would have gone out of business had they not had support. that is why the trump administration offered that support. you can equally argue, that the $1.9 trillion bill that the biden administration passed on a strictly party line basis ignited inflation. but that is water under the bridge. what is going insolvent is medicare in four years, social security in 11 years. if we address that, it will be something positive. i think that would satisfy hawks on the debt limit, the administration would show they're being wise physical stewards. that is all the american people are asking. elizabeth: why is fiscal stewards? nearly 360 approximately dollars in pandemic aid stolen. we're talking federal workers including ts at, dhs, irs state workers stole pandemic money. over the next decade to your point about entitlements, it seems staggering that
6:07 pm
social security, medicare, medicaid, va benefits, defense spending, interest payments that will take up 75% of all federal spending. >> yes. and so, by the way i'm willing to concede all the points you made but if the administration wants something face saving let's just look forward. we've got to make sure that social security and medicare are solvent. that it is there for the people who are on it and will be there for the people who are going to be. now if they just want to say okay, we're not talking about the debt ceiling but we're going to make sure that medicare and social security are solvent, they're doing their job, it addresses our nations indeededness. those are positive things that allow everybody to get something and i don't care what they call it. elizabeth: senator, this seems like a game-changer, this is a hinge point. the federal reserve did a lot of money printing to buy u.s. securities to float massive government spending t really took off since the financial
6:08 pm
crisis in 2008. now taxpayers may have to fill a 60 billion-dollar hole in the fed's balance sheet, will report the fir annual operating loss since 1915. that is a game-changer. >> i hate to say it but the fed, that is an issue. what i see is the bigger issue, medicare, i will say it again goes insolvent in four years, social security in 11 years. 10,000 baby boomers a day become eligible for social and for medicare. people depend upon these programs. now i don't want the democratic party, do they really not care about these programs? are they going to ignore the insolvency? let's work together to find a solution to make sure everybody who depends upon them they can depend upon them knowing that they're there, that is the addressable. elizabeth: their monetary theory, that you can basically print money forever. you end up wallpapering homes
6:09 pm
with the u.s. dollar. let's go to this, climate czar john kerry is demanding more money for climate change. i think you guys passed $370 billion tore climate change. taxpayers don't know who is funding his white house payroll. listen the criticism at world economic forum. they want money for green energy. they are talking more money for that. that is dangerous to produce, cobalt for electric car batteries. this is what democrats are talking about. watch this. >> we mine for cobalt, but we don't recognize cobalt mining has catastrophic impact, local cobalt mining, global cobalt mining horrific, evidence impact it has on the health of women and children. especially, has substantial negative impacts on the feet feet tall health, feet tall growth.
6:10 pm
>> that is pretty extraordinary, human, whatever touched us at the point in our lives, are sable to sit in a room together and talk about saving the planet. that is almost extraterrestrial to think about quote, saving the planet. if you said that to most people, most people, they think you're just a crazy tree-hugging lefty liberal, do-gooder. whatever. >> it is really those privileged select people who use the most fossil fuels, who have the largest carbon footprint, trying to prevent other countries from using them. in particular poor asian and african nations are being actively denied the natural gas and fossil fuels we take for granted. elizabeth: senator, we bring that up. this is the democrats focus. they're talking about thing like electric cars but 15 states and biden white house they demand gas cars be out loud. that is where the focus is. not what you're talking about
6:11 pm
medicare, social security, saving it. they're talking about that when electric car batteries, mining for it is really dangerous. >> if you want to say that there is a disconnect between the biden administration and the average person's concerns i think that is clear. every now and then when gasoline prices go sky-high they reconnect for a moment and then they return to this sort of you know, sort of nonsense. it is not nonsense. the gentleman speaking about cobalt and the environmental dangers of it, and the impact upon human health and lives is absolutely true. you could also have spoken about how china has a monopoly almost on that development and therefore they would control the supply chain to make all of these electric vehicles that they want to replace natural gas, excuse me, gasoline-powered vehicles with. so they are disconnected but the american people need to reconnect them and we reconnect them with our concerns. if we do that the american people win. elizabeth: watch al gore again
6:12 pm
attack david malpass. he is head of the world bank for not doing enough to spend more money on climate change when the world bank is spending historic amounts. watch this. >> greta thornburg was just arrested in germany. i agree with her efforts to stop that coal mine in germany. young people around the world are looking at what we're doing. they look at the world bank, you have a climate denier in charge of the world bank. why are you surprised that the world bank is completely failing to do its job? secretary-general says that, everybody knows the world bank is failing badly. elizabeth: okay. is this al gore bullying because he doesn't like that david malpass trump's appointee? look at record spending the world bank is spending on climate change, on covid-19 pandemic, on fighting poverty. so this is, this is al gore's attack on the world bank, really? is it going to be taken seriously? >> it shows al gore's out of
6:13 pm
touch with the average german. they're starting coal-fired plants, one they didn't develop their own natural gas resources. they became overly dependent on the russians and the united states which could have supplied them had difficult time to build all the capacity to do so because of governmental regulations. now they build coal-fired plants so they don't freeze in the winter. that is being out of touch. if you want to get of the coal-fired plant, best thing to do restart the nuclear program. i suspect al would not like that. or develop u.s. natural gas so that we can continue to send them liquified natural gas, get them off their dependence off russia. let's see what al would say about those proposals. >> senator cassidy, we'll have you on. good to see you. thanks for coming in. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: white house is fighting in court to reinstate mask mandates for air travel. here is the allegation, vice president biden used a pseudonym a northern government

6:18 pm
media. they are not buying the every changing answers for why the president mishandled top decredit documents at his home and think tank. jacqui heinrich at the white house with more. good to see you. >> reporter: good to see you, liz. the white house will not be taking questions on the president's apparent mishandling documents anymore, citing protocols for ongoing doj investigations but we have learned that doj gave no such instruction for the white house to keep quiet on this. they tell fox news they have not, will not dictate to the white house what they can and cannot say publicly about this case. nevertheless, our questions are effectively being directed into a black hole. the white house refers reporters to the doj which refers reporters to the special counsel investigating the case who is not taking questions. that they ask white house lawyers themselves who have been
6:19 pm
not made available to take any questions. they have advisors refer us to again to the doj. the circle begins again. even questions about national security are going unanswered. >> but on questions that you should be able to answer here that shouldn't have to go to any other agency or entity, can you tell us if there is any sort of assessment that has been planned or launched to determine if national security has been jeopardized at all? >> again that is for the department of justice. >> why is it a doj question. >> let's be clear not your decision to make what i can and can't answer from here. what i am telling you we are respecting the process. >> reporter: the white house instead is pivoting to taupics they want discuss reich picking a fight with the debt ceiling. talking about secret deals that kevin mccarthy made to become speaker of the house. there is a new report that fbi doj officials considered having
6:20 pm
fbi officials oversee the search, but they decide the against its. an administration that prides itself on transparency, do not expect any answers from them on this. elizabeth: jackie, great reporting. you're so powerful you decide what the white house press secretary is going to answer. you're a pretty hot stuff there, jacqui heinrich. good to see you. >> reporter: this is national security. you would hope they talk about it. elizabeth: and answer the questions. keep going, jacqui, semper fi. welcome to the show house oversight chair congressman james comer. congressman, we have to get to this, this letter in 2021 from senators ron johnson, chuck grassley it went to a biden aide, allegedly vice president biden used a pseudonym, a non-government email during the obama white house to cc hunter biden about government meetings with things like the ukrainian poroshenko, the president again of ukraine. that hatched in 2016.
6:21 pm
why is hunter biden being cc'd about vice presidential meetings with the president of ukraine? >> well, it is very simple. it is because the influence peddling business expects to get a return on their investment and all the millions of dollars that our adversaries in ukraine, our adversaries in russia, our adversaries in china and the middle east, paid the biden family, they're not doing it for charity. they're doing it to get a return on their investment. i'm sure the information cc'd to hunter biden pertained to national security interests or something of value to our adversaries. elizabeth: so hunter biden gets cc'd again on an email from an aide, employee in the office of vice president joe biden in 2016 about a meeting with the president of ukraine. okay, so is your committee now probing links between this document scandal and controversy and hunter biden, the biden family deal making?
6:22 pm
>> absolutely. don't think ukraine has gone away. this burisma deal is so bad and the press kind of blew it over as russian disinformation, but we, you know, constantly gotten in a drip of more information about wrongdoing in ukraine in addition to all that we're seeing in real time with respect to china and the donations to the biden center and classified documents and everything. what hunter biden had to do to provide legitimacy to that's people who are wanting to purchase access to joe biden, was to prove that he was in the circle. that is why he liked to fly on air force two with joe biden when he was vice president. that is why he likes to go to state dinners now with joe biden while he is president. he wanted the people who were paying him to think, and he may have been an inner part of joe biden's inner circle that made decisions affecting foreign aid in many of these countries.
6:23 pm
>> you know the weird angle too is that hunter biden reportedly sets up a d.c. office for the biden's family business venture with chinese energy conglomerate cefc. he will pay 50,000 a month. then that goes kablewy however you pronounce it. then direct 50 grand a month to pay biden, delaware, rental payments to biden's delaware home when hunter biden is paying maintenance expenses on it, know what i mean? this is china, cefc, nearly five million dollars the family made on that deal. >> yeah. that is why we're wanting bang bank records. we want to verify these reports. we know for a fact that hunter biden was paying basic living expenses for joe biden. that alone would implicate him in the joe biden influence peddling. of had an addiction problem, you
6:24 pm
pick on him, leave him alone. say he had ad diction problem. what father would require their son who has addiction troubles to pay for basic living expenses for him if the father had a good paying job? none of this story makes sense. this is another example of the chickens coming home to roost, having to answer questions. elizabeth: why put an individual with drug addiction out there to meet with the widow of the former mayor of moscow, leaders of kazakhstan, romania, mexico, china, which is fraught with military intelligence? so the reasoning -- >> cannot continue to play that. elizabeth: go ahead, finish. >> cannot continue to play the drug drug addiction charge. this played this for a decade. the president turned a blind eye. we have government oversight. now the president will have to answer questions. elizabeth: how is it that the
6:25 pm
government lawyers talked the doj out not use fbi. on what authority did they have to see state secrets? >> zero authority. those lawyers have no business going through joe biden's classified documents. they're essentially trespassing at a crime scene. elizabeth: we'll leave it there. we'll day stay on the story. we'll v you back on a congressman comer. good to see you. >> thank you. elizabeth: shocking statistic out after new report. this could reshape debate over violent crime. tiny 5% of the u.s. counties in the nation are responsible for a whopping 3/4 of u.s. murders. the white house fights to reinstate mask mandates. the battle is in court for things like air travel. dr. marty makary is next on

honest to goodness, spending your time in court trying to bring back masks on airplanes, they should be spending that time and energy on randomized control trials or a good study of vaccine complications after the bivalent vaccine after the signal we learned about with stroke last week after that vaccine. so this is a bad use of energy and people are not wearing masks on the plane. when they hear about this, this is exactly the overreach of public health that people are concerned about. elizabeth: dr. makary, now pfizer talking about and all in one flu and covid shot but do you believe the government is downplaying preliminary data of covid side-effects like strokes? >> for sure. we got the definitive study from 30 million people after the covid vaccine and there was a 50% increase in blood clots causing pulmonary embolism death. studies from overseas in germany, one in 800 people,

the supreme court will hear a case how it will, trying to make it easier for companies to sue labor unions when they damage company property. so we had, what is really interesting, when you are looking into the story, steve, there were a record number of labor walkouts an strikes, 314 over the last year. that is most in 15 years. what is going on here? >> part of that is inflation. when prices go up, you get more labor strife. that's what happened in the 1970s. what is interesting about the supreme court case is that it says unlike practices in the past which people averted their eyes from, when you commit violence against company property, overturn trucks, destroy things like that, perhaps hack their networks, the companies have a right to be compensated for that. you can't use that as intimidation. it is one thing to not let the company make a product. that is the point of a strike so they have an economic hurt but quite another to destroy property, deliberately destroy property. justice roberts by the way put

labor union dues on things like luxury vacation travel, on junkets, swanky restaurants, bar tabs. you're going to see, look at the dollar amounts at uaw. 43 million on lavish stays at hotels, 12 million on private travel, limousines. 40,000 on bar tabs the like. over dozen senior officials convicted embezzling union funds. they blew it on stuff like that. >> long ways from walter ruth a honest guy, didn't do that thing at all. this is human nature. when organization doesn't have competition, what does it do, become self-serving n a private market, you're a company you start to do that kind of thing, guess what? you lose customers, you go out of business. unions have monopoly especially in non-right-to-work states. so they don't have that kind of competition and natural policing of bad behavior. elizabeth: "new york times" is
