5:03 pm
this year for all the indices, the dow closing down wiping out its gains for the year. all the indices down 2% or more. let's bring right into the showhouse oversight congressman from house oversight is congressman pat fallon. gentlemen, we are so grateful you are both on this is a very dicey action in the stock market walmart is responding. congressman fallon your response divided vowing as long as it takes in ukraine. americans don't want a broader war. less than half support it's down from 60% in may, what is your response? >> will liz, it's clear joe biden is putting america last. he's taking one more sensitive trip to ukraine than our own southern border for the trip he died take was sanitized and he did not see the realities of the disaster and the catastrophe
5:04 pm
that his policies and create on the ground. i echo the american people's residence to get deeper involved in ukraine when we have to take care of things here at home. particularly easter palestine as well. elizabeth: by the way chuck says he would have negotiated peace deal by now. congressman mast says that nato increasingly concerned china will send lethal weapons to russia. china's is jinping is going to visit pollutant in moscow. where'd you come down on this question for keuka secretary of state blinken merely lecturing china about spy balloons. shop said he would've slapped tariffs on china. cooks in china and russia still have neil's entrant deals going on united states of america under biden is saying no more oil and gas deals in america. they are still making 30 or contracts, they are still moving energy from russia to china and in the midst of all this you see what happened today which was
5:05 pm
russia said there are no longer interested in deterrence. they are not interested in america or anyone else knowing how many nukes they are having in the field to put if they develop any new ones, whether capabilities are even where they are proliferating those two should all be major concerns. elizabeth: to what congressman mast just said, congressman fallon we are not strong under biden were running at half the growth rate. it's only 1% -- 2% growth with a 6% inflation. russia and china are both in it for the long-term. the u.s. is in two-year cycles with midterms. when you see what is happening, congressman fallon, or's peace through strength position we used to have under reagan? >> was seen throughout history is authoritarian regimes respond to strength they respond to witness the weakness they get very aggressive traits interesting in 2008 russia stole two providences from georgia in 2 million or w bush.
5:06 pm
under obama 2014 they see his crimea and in full scale invasion under biden. they did nothing for the four years president trump was in office because i really believe they were hesitant because they feared him and they were not sure how he would react when they figured he would react with strength. you see the result will have a disastrous pullout in afghanistan, china it was watching they're also watching what's happening in the ukraine as well, liz. elizabeth: oh congressman mast do with the comment on that? because again it china and russia are in it for the long term. your response to what congressman fallon just said. >> i would sum up what my friend just sent in this way. no one in an intelligence agency around the globe looks at joe biden insist that is a credible threat. that is someone we should be taking seriously. it's just not was playing out after what happened in afghanistan and so many other dominoes that he has knocked down to make them feel that way. they felt that way under president trump. president trump was a credible threat.
5:07 pm
putin will not go into russia or will not go into ukraine. i.e. china will take very seriously trump is doing with tariffs and the list goes on and on. that's that national security threat we have is is not taken as a credible threat. elizabeth: let's move on to east palestine, ohio. fema will still not give peace palestine money to help clean up the disaster zone in ohio. after the government blew up railcars with toxic chemicals. now we got transfer terry secretary buddha judge now says quote i could have spoken out sooner but he also said he is planning to go. but he did not say when, congressman fallon and this is 17 days after the crash. >> liz, this is not leadership. as many people points out very fairly it did not fit into their paradigm paid poop people to judge when he bent over backwards at the pigmentation of folks that live in east palestine was different. it is horrible to say that but it is true. every american should be treated equally. but this administration is not doing that for this is a disaster.
5:08 pm
this is something fema money should be used for, when 115,00s filled up 20 rail cards question for you to sign for the federal government to step up buddha judge should have shown far more leadership than he did. congressman fallon just said congressman trent berger both ohio centers the epa is not testing for dioxins. that is cancerous. abuja sends a strongly worded letter to norfolk southern saying he will urge real reforms are you going to listen to buddha judge? >> no. he has not been a good voice for transportation across the whole america since his time in office. is par for the course believably tell you don't believe what you see with your own eyes don't believe that gas prices you see are the grocery prices you see. certainly don't believe the real chemical hazards you see there
5:09 pm
because people to judge and his agency said everything is fine there. that is par for their course. elizabeth: let's watch the mayor of east palestine he's upset the president went ukraine ukraine got about $113 billion in aid. again no money, no he made for east palestine. watch this request to sell president joe biden over in ukraine, it did that make you feel slighted in any way? >> absolutely prevents a big a slap in the face. that tells you right now he does not care about us. tickets in every agency he wants too. but i found out this morning when the briefings that he was in the ukraine giving up millions of dollars and people wait in people over there and not to us and i'm furious. elizabeth: your response to congressman fallon quest request to echo the mayor's comments is very heartbreaking. look, we have an interest in ukraine, there is no doubt about that is an extreme position to do nothing is also an extreme to give them a blank check which this demonstration is done. joe biden after a 40 million americans are supposed to secure
5:10 pm
and keep sick because if we are not safe we are not free but ignore the southern border for and then you have a disaster east palestine. and you ignore it and so does your transportation secretary at which it is his job description. i am disgusted, liz. elizabeth: residents are important rashes, nausea, headaches, chemical rained down on the area of your house republicans are you guys going to look into this? are you going to hear jon hold hearings on this? >> transportation infrastructure they're going to be looking at this for the jurisdiction of the house of representatives on this issue given that it is more drinking water related and most of the cases it is being looked at by the energy and commerce committee. but again, you look at this it takes a level of common sense to say yes you would expect that is what's happening to people. they should be warned that's going to happen. transportation should take this seriously. if the chemical says if you drink it you're going to die, if you're going to handle it wear
5:11 pm
rubber gloves or an apron. if he gets in your eyes you could go blind. if you ingest a small that your kidneys can fail, your liver could fail. if those are the warnings for what is in the tune of real card loads of it and you're burning it off or sinks built into the ground or water, then the government should be saying yes we need to look out for that because that's going to happen. six epa is ordering norfolk southern to take charge of this. the report said norfolk southern is given 3.4 million in compensation. they are in it for the long-haul part epa chief you're going to send camera, right there, the ohio governor, they are drinking tap water near the trail the arraignment site after heavy criticism. you are saying that on camera right there. they're trying to basically put out the message the water is safe. but drinking wells are not safe. people are really nervous at the epa for they do not believe the epa, even rosie o'donnell is weighing in sync she does not trust anything going on, watch this.
5:12 pm
>> the epa comes out with a very non- alarmist, everything is okay don't worry about a thing. and it is infuriating. i do not trust the epa. i do not trust them. after 9/11 i don't how anyone could pray there is no cleanup, there is dust everywhere, toxic, horrible cancer-causing. and they lied to the american people. i don't believe the epa. >> congressman fallon your final word pre- >> liz, when i look up this morning i didn't think it say the following words, i agree with rosie o'donnell. [laughter] fix congressman mast your final word? >> joe biden don't just show up for the press shows up show up where america needs you. elizabeth: congressman cummins and one thanks joining us it's good to see you both. let's welcome back to wall street author carol roth. carol you were listening to our
5:13 pm
conversation. what is your reaction to everything going on? >> i kinda feel the same couldn't believe i agreed with rosie o'donnell. that is the frustration as an american you want your tax dollars to be spent to help people here in america. give the president overseas visiting another country taken the position a blank check and not addressing a very serious issue it's really, really disappointing. elizabeth: this is what they're focused on a five year to push diversity, equity and inclusion across all government agencies. from the pentagon to the irsas e sector companies are laying off hundreds of the esg workers. they are highly paid and under works. >> yes, this is really
5:14 pm
frustrating. esg is basically business social credit. it is using your dollars, your retirement funds to push the political agenda, the social agenda sometimes even the financial agenda of the elites. they keep changing around the rules. that is unfortunately going to impact the wealth of americans. eng environmental i think a for evil. elizabeth: and biden, critics are saying what he is doing with the government goes even beyond what the most awoke colleges doing, carol. it is tilting the government playing field on the basis of race and other characteristics are seeking equal outcomes no matter what throughout governments. that is a biden is doing a governmentwide ideological infrastructure congress never signed off on. >> yes they are doing that in the government and they are doing that in the financial sector. the diversity equity inclusion a social portion of esg.
5:15 pm
if you look at that department of labor rule it used to be orissa would invest in your best financial instruments. now they can put in pei. they can put environmental issues ahead of what is in your financial interests. this is what ever the biden administration, the awoke, the elites, whatever they want to push is getting pushed through producing at the government level you're seeing it at the financial level for that is not the way the government is supposed to work. it's not the way the market is supposed to work. and at the end of the day we've heard it from the elite you will owe nothing this is just another step in that direction. elizabeth: is in a social justice problem for an entire town and regional spilling into the ohio river tilling with a chemical overload from a toxic train crash? instead of focusing on that they've got equity teams at all government agencies within 30 days they got to submit their
5:16 pm
equity action plans annually. it's all going to be run by susan rice. that's what the government is focused on? we've like 1000 to 1200 train crash was a year we have so many problems with inflation and were hitting america's pocketbooks in the kitchen this is a woke waste the gop is talking about question with the gop a start by defining woke the federal government budget. >> this is the problem is we are supposed to have government protecting the rights of the people. that is what we are doing. when you put in the esg push or whatever you want to call it whatever name you have that is prioritizing their objectives. the objectives of the elites of the people in government over the objectives of what the people in the country once. unfortunately this is what happens when you move away from free markets and capitalism to any of the central planet you can call it socialism you can
5:17 pm
call, millions and you can call awoke. it doesn't matter what you call it. we've got a handful of people making the decisions that they want to make on behalf of everyone instead of letting the market transparently and freely. that is what we need to do. we need to go back to basics. if we let the central planners stay in charge, they will destroy america, liz. elizabeth: carol roth people have you back on say with this. elizabeth: the biden white house once your money but equity fund invests in polluting companies plus illinois democrat governor new york city mayor eric admiral outreach, why customer flirted governor desantis dysthymic their awoke policies for fueling crime. also, desantis calls out for violating his own state of illinois covid law to go on vacation. we former new york city police commissioner howard and next on "the evening edit".

5:22 pm
and triggering democrat mayors and governors on his multistate pro- police into our pro- law and order tour yesterday. fox news mike and manuel in washington with the latest, m mike. >> list perhaps a test run before what many experts will expect a run for the white house for florida governor desantis. desantis told an audience in elmhurst, illinois state of florida should have a new nickname, where it woke goes to die. he noted in some major cities they have been defunding or attacking police. while in florida they support law enforcement. >> it was the signal that said as they are defunding police and attacking police and these other jurisdictions, the state of florida is showing them that we have got your back and we support what you're doing. >> desantis did not receive a warm welcome from the governor of illinois and the of chicago, lori lightfoot. governor jb pritzker wrote on twitter ron desantis is dangerous and hateful agenda has no place in illinois.
5:23 pm
banning books, playing a politics of people's lives and censoring history are antithetical to who we are. every candidate hoping to hold public office in the land of lincoln should condemn this event. desantis also did a law enforcement events in the suburb of fort washington, pennsylvania. inserted the tour on staten island, new york desantis made reference to university police officer killed in the line of duty over the weekend. >> we have seen it in new york city and fortunately we just saw it in temple. i think of somebody goes murders a police officer, they should get the death penalty for murdering the police officer progressed to santos has not been shy about noting the migration from places like new york city to florida. part of that pitch is knowing a strong partnership in florida with law enforcement, liz. elizabeth: mike and manuel think enjoying a certain now foreign
5:24 pm
police commissioner. first let's deal with this. critics are saying desantis and his team are not censoring teaching about slavery they are not censoring teaching about racism. they are talking about stopping schools teaching children to look at each other differently because of their race. he is trying to stop the sexual's content and school. your reaction to that? because i think a governor desantis is doing as he is voicing what most americans think. they do not want woke up. they do not currently want critical race theory to divide children when they are in grade school. they want people to teach our history and they do not want to be focusing strictly on transgender. they want to be talking about educating our kids. they care about crime and they care about the economy. elizabeth: would like your reaction please the governor desantis going after illinois governor for his weak on crime policies like no cash fail and
5:25 pm
for the governor governor, he broke his own covered lockdowns the governor flew to vacation in florida during the lockdowns, watch this. >> during covid even though your cover would luck you don't have his family in florida were the fastest growing state in all the united states. we are number one for net immigration every year since i've been governor. illinois of course is having a lot of outmigration. >> or is he spiraled out of control and so many areas is you have politicians doing a woke ideology ahead of public safety. >> their agenda is they do not like the criminal justice sy system. there are a lot of laws they personally do not like. so they take it upon themselves to pick and choose which law should be enforced which law should be ignored. elizabeth: is that what is going on? >> absolutely pretties pointing out the hypocrisy of the left.
5:26 pm
he is pointing out a governor who goes out of the state when he is quarantining everybody. he's talking about all these people who are talking about climate change, flying around the world in their jets with huge carbon footprints. and he is pointing out the fact crime is a very important issue. defunding police is causing places like chicago to have 550 homicides while crime in florida is going down. >> see your point crime is up in illinois crime has been up in new york. in both want to teach ron desantis about values. isn't crime about values? >> crime is all about values is about the fact that there is disintegration in families. and because of that people do not obey the law. as i have always said the only people should be afraid of police are criminals. but when you have no bail laws
5:27 pm
and you commit a crime five, 10 times are out on the street the next day, you have no respect for police. when you defund the police, you take away immunity from police for doing their job, why it shouldn't criminals commit crimes? they have nothing to be afraid of all they have left his days that will not prosecute them. >> to your point, what could these democrats say to defend themselves? it sounds like florida governor desantis is speaking the truth. >> there is not very much they can say to defend themselves. the fact is when you have somebody who is on parole for murder, gets arrested with a gun, is out the next day and then commits another homicide i do not know how they can live with themselves and they should of put that person in jail the first time. elizabeth: desantis is also trying to recruit. recruit police officers tired of new york's progressive local policies. he is also recruiting trying to recruit cops outside of philadelphia and chicago.
5:28 pm
he was in staten island, the suburb of fort washington illinois talking about his florida plan to stop crime. >> it is absently working. the fact is there has never been more attrition or early retirement from the nypd than anybody can remember because of the left of vilifying police officers. and when that happens and they see a place like florida where the governor stands strongly behind law enforcement and they're actually giving bonuses to police officers to come and work in florida, it is an easy choice. when you look at chicago, and philadelphia, and new york they are way down and have tremendous vacancies in their departments. elizabeth: that is amazing, howard safir thank you for joining us tonight good to see you. >> good to be with you. elizabeth: is been shown on the

climate change al gore the investment firm he cofounded and run generation investment management owns shares in companies that are greenhouse gas polluters? as he lectures the world to stop polluting. this is according to bloomberg's analysis for it when you saw the story, what was your reaction? >> my first reaction was i am glad former vice president gore is a fund is and what they're supposed to do and trying to make as much money as possible. that is a good thing. that is their obligation. and i guess it turns out economic activity is tied to increased emissions. you have really successful companies that return value to shareholders their missions are higher. google president gore investing on the way preachers regardless the point he plays lip service. he lectures the world to stop polluting. and in fact is a fund is the worst.
5:35 pm
it is the worst out of all the so-called psg firms for stoking greenhouse gases that is according to bloomberg. >> i mean look, again, i'm not going to burke begrudge him for investing in companies that make money. that is fine. but he has to understand the types of policies he advocates four. the types of changes to society and human existence that he once in order to d carbon eyes that section going to hurt those companies and hurt those investments. that is the point we can have both. we can have really successful companies and do something positive about energy and the environment. here, his rhetoric is not squaring with reality. i guess is investment advisor see reality a lot more clear than he does. >> o'neill coming to your point al gore, john kerry on multiple houses. they fly on private jets. they have big cars they tell the rest of us the rest of the world
5:36 pm
to walk to work or take a subway. need to save the planet's an inconvenient truth they join the billionaire jet setting climate crusaders to fly to davos, switzerland on carbon spewing private jets. none of them bothered to confront the world's biggest polluter, china. >> exactly that's where the focus needs to be. again i do not hate on them for flying on private jets and having multiple homes in nice cars, good for them. but let's get real about the policy. let's start advocating for america to hurt its economy while china continues to pollute and pollute. we need to focus policies on punishing chinese omissions and taking advantage of the energy we have here at home. elizabeth: desantis for a second period none of them, none of them are talking about the wind turbines on the east coast potentially killing whales, getting impeached, washed onto the floors but none of them are talking about children getting
5:37 pm
paid a tiny $2 a day, families $2 a day to mine coal bolt standing knee-deep in toxic chemicals. to mine coal but for electric car batteries in places like the congo. they are all radio silent about all of that, why? looks they're willing to brush under the rug the complex choices that we have to make in the energy transition. all of these sources of energy have downsides to them. you have got to make different calls about it. you cannot just wish it away and pretend we can transition over into all green energy and there will not many consequences. i think that's what's frustrating what climate activists. american people deserve to hear the straight truth. the inconvenient truth is they do not want to tell the truth about the complex challenges that come from all fuel sources. elizabeth: and bingo. it's also environmental destruction from those green choices. neil chatterjee you are terrific what have you back on again

5:43 pm
with more, david. >> hi liz this all comes down to legal immunity for big tech companies. specifically something from 1996 code section 2:30 of the communications decency act. those against a section 2:30 say it is archaic, it is old the internet has changed vastly since 1996. behind me to the justice heard specifically about your social media companies and other digital platforms liability protection from some criminal and civil claims. the case today involves google which owns youtube written response from original lawsuit from 2016 involving a 23-year-old who was an american college student killed in 2015 while visiting paris in an isis attack. her family sued google and facebook and twitter arguing all three allowed extremist content from isis related groups on their sites.
5:44 pm
an appeals court ruled section 2:30 shielded google from the gonzalez family claims of the took a to the supreme court and argued an algorithm to send content to users some of the thumbnails for videos to watch was not protected by section 2:30. in court the justices pressed lawyers to differentiate between whether big tech was quote recommending or quote providing harmful online content where the true algorithms were neutrally applied, listen to this. quickly thumbnails from what i understand based upon what the algorithm suggests the user is interested in. so if you are interested in cooking you do not want thumbnails on light jazz. >> anytime anyone looks at anything on the internet there is an algorithm involved. whether it is a google search while or whether it is this youtube sites. >> okay today was the first of two cases. tomorrow a very similar case
5:45 pm
involving twitter. the same overarching theme. the justices will render a decision by the end of the term likely by the end of june. >> always terrific journalism, thank you for joining us for look who is here for facebook analyst top 10 policy expert that heritage foundation. kara frederick. it is good to see it this seems to be a comeuppance for google, twitter of the supreme court. the issue is we do not know of kagan's comment was cut short? what it is about is this. the social media companies amplify bad content by rejiggering their algorithms, right? we have justify while they seem leery of lifting the shield congress gave them against losses from third-party content. when you come down and all this? >> we have old whole report about it, liz. that looks like they are not going to have a broad ruling in

this case, if the initial arguments bring anything to bear. it looks like any sort of decision will be more focused. i come down on congress has to act. there are three things that congress can do. they can strip section 2:30 immunity from these platforms, if they censor legitimate political speech, as we have talked about over this program with twitter files et cetera eet clauses for this is a d law. it is very hard to have foreseen the fact that algorithms could amount to editing like you said, rejiggering the content. having a sunset clause would be a great thing break algorithmic transparency at these companies be required to actually reports how these algorithms impact of users. i think those three things to them particular in regard to section 2:30 would go a long way. probably a lot further actually been a focus ruling we are anticipating is out of the

supreme court this summer. elizabeth: a family of emmett because all she's killed in the 2015 paris a terrorist attack. google's youtube, her side of the case they boosted the algorithms to amplify isis materials on the sites in support of the extrema sec elder daughter. this is important because u.s. intelligence is warning they are on the move again in afgha afghanistan. >> it's a big part of my job at facebook. our whole effort was to make the platform hostile to terrorists content to terrorists cheerleading to terrorist propaganda. the fact youtube was boosting this content, it is a tragedy all around. our member that attack in paris is terrible. youtube conduit tiktok is doing now and how they are pushing young women, users in general to further and further into the social contagions but it is a

tragedy. twitters piling on their sonic vice president kamala harris, kamala harris posted the photo of herself on unmasked with the child who was a mask. harris tweedie never asked for permission to lead. someone tweeted back and this girl have permission to breathe? there's a cochran library analysis of meta-analysis dozens of studies showing masks do not work for it 78 trials masks do not work. so twitter can be interesting in that way coming back so rapidly in a story like that, what do you think? west elon musk is cleaning ho house. things are much more interesting on the platform again especially if you are a conservative thinker. i think generally this points to something that is spreading in our society. it is sacrificing children on the altar of leftism, sacrificing children on the altar of self. kamala harris is uncomfortable so the child has to be uncomfortable.
5:49 pm
this to me is indicative of everything that happened during colored cup closing schools cutting children from community, pushing them further and further we know the cdc is kamal the fact young women especially one in three have given way to's thoughts of suicide snow in to run a country person no way to treat the next generation of citizens. and kamala harris should not be frankly in her position doing what she is doing to the children of this country. elizabeth: got it, kara frederick good to see you. reports coming in women are threatened to quit at cnn, don lemon reportedly coming back after he made his sexist comments on the air about nikki haley and even women in their 40s. there are co- anchors in their 40s. opinion editor next on the evening added.

after cnn said on air, nikki haley is too old pretty women in their 40s are quote past their prime. his coanchor is like 40, what do you make of this? [laughter] >> what an awful story. you know something, it was, i think he is probably very surprised at all this backlash. he routinely disparages women on the show. but he says white women or conservative women. white women are more than favorite punching bags of the left. the problem is he said women he forgot to specify which ones. it's not the ones you are allowed to hate on. the show is just so hard to watch. there have been reports he's berated his cohost caitlyn collins. you can see the tension in the moment they were afraid to push back against him on a life air. it was so hard to watch, liz. elizabeth: people say remarkably idiotic things all the time but he has stay-at-home moms

watching his morning show. what is so crazy don lemon and googles in advance he googled the question when our women in their prime? he had to google that is he talking about? [laughter] it's really awful. i have to say though, i feel it is really sad cnn is struggling so hard to reclaim its status. because i know you believe in the free market and competition. and you really want that in that media yet ecosphere. >> oh what a competition like that i want more of that. [laughter] by the way i'm 25 plus years old don lemon just so you know. [laughter] >> what a disastrous thing to say to insult your audience like that. and to insult your own colleagues your own cohost just a real disaster pretty goes a long way to explaining why cnn is struggling. sip six you make an important point out think many people picked up on, he has routinely

attacked conservative women, right? or white women. this is when you think in silos when you karma department track compartmentalized if we look at people based on their personalities as a characteristic and not their souls inside. do not want to put people into a diabetic coma, get on the avenues and roads that cnn and nbc do. >> is very reminiscent how they treated justice amy coney barrett during her whole confirmation a nomination process. they cannot to see women and minorities that do not agree with them succeeding on the other side. if you like them a more of an attachment to the conservatives in the republican party. the only one to say sexist and racist things about nikki haley, right? it is a larger problem here for sure. elizabeth: how about debating nikki haley of the policies, nikki haley of the policies, right? batya ungar-sargon, thank you so much. we will be right back, stay righi'm my dt there.
