[laughter] it's good to see you, larry, again. larry: thank, liz. elizabeth: congress erupts into

open warfare, and this irony, democrats attack the twitter file journalists over their explosive revelations about government censorship. and the white house hit with scathing new testimony from u.s. soldiers and president biden's botched exit from afghanistan. with us tonight, congressmen darrell issa and greg steube, carol roth, the hill's kristin tate, congressman brian mast, east palestine resident carrie lentz. easter this story, what fbi director wray and k the ni -- dni avril haines testified that is rattling authorities, and warnings coming many about not going on spring break in mexico. and an unserious president biden, he claims the world is more complicated, that's why he wants a $6.8 trillion new budget that's loaded with tax hikes. fed chair powell, he now joins the blame game on inflation. plus, your neighborhood

drugstore is being hit by california's abortion politics. i'm elizabeth macdonald, "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ ♪ elizabeth: thanks for joining us. welcome to the show. stocks ending lower in choppy trading, the markets bracing for the friday jobs report tomorrow for february. it could come in better than expected at 205,000 the, that could have the fed raising rates even more. i'm so sorry i was out, an fbi mom and wife passed away, i was attending her funeral. the house hearing today the erupted into open warfare. democrats attacked the twitter file journalists. they were testifying the government abused twitter like it was its own government censorship machine. that was before elon musk bought it. here's just some of what happened. watch. >> our government built a cozy relationship with big tech -- >> republicans have brought in two of elon musk's public

scribes to the release cherry-picked, out of context concern. >> you're saying they're here to help us in they're here to tell their story. >> is in your question time? >> no, i'm responding to your ridiculous statements you made in your opening statement -- >> okay, let's get on with it. >> now you want to go -- [inaudible conversations] >> as well as you had an opening at the same time. elizabeth: that was some fireworks there. kelly o'grady is in los angeles. what a day. >> reporter: well, liz,s it really was open warfare today very much depending on who was at the mic. the hearing lasted close to three hours and dug into what's being called the weaponization of government. the two journalists behind the twitter files shared some of key findings from the company's internal communications assert eking some governmental agencies played a heavy role in the censorship, even likening it to nazi germany. >> they aren't asking for a national debate over limits of the first amendment; rather,

creating blacklists of disfavored people and demanding that social media platforms censor, deamplify and even ban the people on hose lists. >> they are aiming for what the narrative is, and they already know in advance what they're looking for. >> reporter: while house republicans dug into potential impacts to the first amendment, committee democrats accused taibbi and shellenberg of being motivated by monetary incentives and questioning the journalists' thicks. >> elon musk spoon fed you information which you must have suspected generates another right-wing conspiracy theory. you violated your own standards. >> reporter: and he certainly factored heavily into that the hearing, elon musk. house democrats suggesting the billionaire may have given his foreign backers access to twitter's user data and that he's working in lockstep with republicans. certainly a lot of fireworks today and likely a preview of

more to come as washington tax on these censorship claims. back to you, liz. elizabeth: kelly o'grady, always great reporting. joining us now, the congressman darrell issa joins us again. congressman,st it's great to see you. your reaction to what you heard today. what did you think of the democrats' performance today? because the thing is, what if the tables were turned? what if the censorship went against them? what did you think of democrats today? >> well, i think it was unfortunate that they made speeches and asked virtually no questions. they questioned the integrity of the people who went forward, they disparaged them, their motives, tried to ask for their sources knowing that journalists don't give up their sources as a matter of absolute policy. but they didn't do one thing, they can't the in any way dispute the actual underlying facts. remember, this isn't a leak or two, an e-mail or two, this is thousands of different documents that speak for themselves.

so although these journalists did a lot of hard work to go through them and to make them available to the us, at the end of the day a notebook this thick was at my desk filled with the verbatim words of who it came from and what they were trying to do, and the who were members of government. tens of millions of dollars and massive amounts of communications all designed to stifle the free speech of americans including and certainly primarily conservatives. elizabeth: you know, so the democrats when it turns against them, they personally, they turn to personal attacks on the journalists like michael shellenberger and matt taibbi. congressman, michael shellenberger testifies it's not a slippery slope. it's an immediate leap, he said, into a terrifying mechanism we only see in totalitarian societies. we've seen the censorship industry go from, well, we're just fighting isis, to now we need to fight chest cantic

misinformation. concern the domestic misinformation. that's on their terms, they get to decide. >> not only do they get to decide, but, you know, putting it in another concept, you know, if you were being tried for some crime and only the prosecutor got to present the case, what was the chance that you could actually prevail no matter how strong your defense is if you don't get to provide it? the same is true when one side is called disinformation and eliminated from the public debate, and it doesn't matter whether it's vaccines or it's the message of one political party or another. we can't have it because if we have it, we don't get a democracy ever again. everyone knows that, even the democrats know this is not good for democracy even though in the short term it has been good for their ability to win the debate by our being stifle thed from having the debate. elizabeth: journal matt taibbi testified they uncovered a sweeping government push to turn the internet and twitter into a

censorship machine. that twitter, facebook, google, they were taking in the informal system they built, moderation requests from the fbi, homeland security, hhs, pentagon, even the cia. >> even, even the national science foundation delivered over $40 million in funding to do just that, to stifle free speech. elizabeth: so, you know, however you come down on frump -- on trump, whatever your leanings are, when you take out the word trump, you ache the out the word obama, take out the word biden and to what you're saying that you just look at the facts, it could easily be argued that trump was railroaded, that he before even he was inaugust ated there was a push -- inaugurated that there was a push to impeach him. there was a narrative inside the government to going after rump. and then it went after people who said, welsh we're questioning -- well, we're questioning people against mandates and vaccines. then there was a push against

school shutdowns and pandemic lockdowns. congressman, you see how that spread. the national conversation was poisoned, right? >> exactly. and at the end of the day, liz, it's been normalized for the government to use sur gates to do what -- surrogates to do what they're prohibited by law doing. remember, if you stifle one side, it boils down to propaganda. i'm not going to make the comparison to previous totalitarian regimes, but it isn't american. it's something where the aclu should be weighing in. to be honest, my democrat friends should be equally outraged and want to make sure that we have more free speech including free speech that we both disagree with -- elizabeth: yeah. but, congressman, the irony is democrats went after journalists, right? demanding they disclose their sources for their reporting on government censorship. that's pretty rich. that's even beyond irony. let's watch more of the fireworks. watch in the. >> congresswoman, you're asking me to to the, you're asking me to reveal a source -- >> you consider mr. musk to be

the direct source of all of this. >> no. now you're trying to get me to say that he is the source. >> i just think this is interesting. first, the ftc is asking for your background, and now the ranking member of the committee on the weaponization of government is asking for your sources. >> i never asked them for their sources. >> yes, you did concern. >> i did not asking -- >> t the gentle lady is not recognized. >> well, you are not going to say -- >> i want to yield back to the gentlelady concern. >> you asked me who gave -- >> i asked who gave it to you, and once you said they were your sources, i then asked you if you'd spoken with elon musk. i did not ask you who those sources were. this isn't just a matter of data was given to these so-called journalists -- >> i'm not a so-called journalist. i've won the national magazine award, the award for incompetent journalist, and -- journalism, and i've written ten books including four new york times bestsellers.

elizabeth: the congress wasn't even listening to him to say he's a journalist, congressman. >> what's outrageous, of course, is the democrats were echoing what the federal trade commission tried to do which was find out who the sources are and then suppress them. elizabeth: congressman darrell issa, thanks for joining us, it's good to see you. and now look who's back with us, congressman brian from house foreign affairs. congressman, it's great to see you again. you know, the hearing on biden's botched exit from afghanistan, congressman, first off, can you explain to the viewer how you served in afghanistan and how you are a wounded warrior too? can you tell the viewers what happened to you? >> i served as a bomb technician in afghanistan. i was injured in 2010 when an explacive device debt 2345eu9 -- explosion it quite detonated within my seat. i lost two legs and a finger, but thank god no friends that day although i lost many friends days before that. elizabeth: when you saw these troops give heart-wrenching

testimony, like one sergeant who served in afghanistan, he was saying afghanis felt booned by in this white house -- abandoned by in the white house, this white house abandoned americans behind terror the lines. he testified they actually saw afghanis try to commit suicide right in front of them live rather than, you know, in front of them rather than endure more suffering under the taliban. what was your reaction to that? >> i think you used the exact right word to describe my reaction and everybody else's. it wasn't the afghanistan withdrawal, it was the afghanistan abandonment. and it left so many service members, gold star families, people that just had friends that served just broken inside, questioning what did their service mean. was it worth my time away from birthdays and bath time and sports and dinner with my kids? those were the questions that you were left asking yourself. and for sergeant vargas andrews, after he was blown up, lost two limbs and we didn't get to the, but he believes that he saw the bomber through the scope of his

sniper rifle. the u.s. government, not one entity mt. the u.s. government asked him about if he could have eliminated that ab abbey gate bomber, what he saw for ten days sitting in a watch tower. no entity of the u.s. government cared about what he saw and what he thought. elizabeth: given what you just said, let's watch the sergeant every the about all of that. listen to this. >> over the communication network we passed that there was a potential threat and an ied attack the imminent. this was as serious as it could get. i requested engagement authority while my team leader was ready on the semiautomatic sniper system. the response, leadership did not have the engagement authority for us, do not engage. to this day, we believe he was a suicide bomber. we made everyone on the ground aware. operations briefly halted but then started again. plain and simple, we were ignored. our expertise was kiss regarded, no one was held accountable for our safety. my body was overwhelmed, my abdomen had been ripped open,

every inch of my exposed body except for my face took ball bearings and. >> -- shrapnel. the withdrawal was a catastrophe, and there was an inexcusable lack of accountability and negligence. elizabeth: that's it, negligence. does this white house care that soldiers were killed, 13 troops injured? we've got, you know, wounded more than 160 afghans, wounded soldiers like this soldier? i mean, the pentagon relied on the taliban to help secure the airport. really? that's your battle plan? they only had three cousin people in the american consulate to vet and screen people wanting to leave. really, that's your plan, white house? >> they cared only at the time so far as they could avoid, try to avoid a bad with news cycle. -- bad news cycle. president biden didn't care enough when our service members were coming home to avoid even looking at his watch as those service members were taking that final flight back to the united states of america, those that were killed. and they absolutely do not care

today to learn any lessons from what happened and to go back this and seek accountability from anybody that was to blame for that debacle, that black eye, that killing of 13 u.s. service members and any part about it. that's the length -- elizabeth: i'm going to -- we never talk about this in my family. my mother never knew her father. he was hit and suffered from mustard gas complications and died when she was 1 year old. so we knew what it was the to suffer that loss. sometimes my mother and my grandmother, my aunt would look into the middle seat, and they were gone. you couldn't reach them. we had firemen in our family, my sister's brother-in-law died at 9/11. we know what it means to suffer loss are. and so when we see this white house baying like this, when we see -- behaving like this, when we see taxpayers basically paying for the taliban's military air force, more than $7 billion in weapons munition left

behind, we have to ask again and again, does this white house care? >> this white house again and again shows they have no national security objectives. they do not care, they did not care then. hay do not care to remove people out of positions of power that had no place being in positions of power. and this is to the detriment of every single american. and as we saw in afghanistan, it literally cost the lives of our nation if's heroes. elizabeth: congressman mast, we'll have you back on. thank you for joining us. in the story coming up, we have for you what fbi director christopher wray and dni avril haines testified that r59inged authorities and the white house again misleads. americans are getting warnings, don't go on spring break in mexico. we've got congressman greg steube and carol roth also on this story, president now claims, quote, the world is more come my candidated. he wants a $7 trillion new budget, and the federal reserve,

elizabeth: president biden finally debuted his budget today saying, quote, the world's getting a lot more complicated, so that's why he's increasing the budget to nearly $7 trillion. that's about the size of france and germany. it includes trillions of dollars in tax the hikes to pay for it. grady trimble is live on capitol hill with more. >> reporter: president biden says his budget will expand the child tax credit, it'll lower health care and housing costs as well. but to do that, it's going to the a take a lot of money and a whole slew of new tax hikes. >> the things that i'm proposing not only lift the burden off of families in america, it's also going to generate economic growth. and that's not all. people talk about it like this is the an overwhelming burden on the ax payer. it's going to save money for the taxpayer. >> reporter: but corporations and those making $400,000 a year or more will pay quite a bit more in taxes under this

proposal. the committee for a responsible federal budget gives the the president some credit for his proposal to reduce the national deficit by $3 trillion over the next decade, but it also calls the spending in this budget outline excessive. it says under president biden's budget the national debt would grow by $19 trillion in the next decade to just under $44 trillion. republicans say that is not acceptable. >> it's so unserious, but it's unserious at the wrong moment many time. we have to have a lifting of the debt ceiling, but you want to change your behavior because if you don't change your behavior, you have more inflation. the other problem you have is you weaken yourself against china, and you hurt your children and grandchildren. >> reporter: house speaker kevin mccarthy didn't indicate when we'll see his counterproposal, but he did say he's willing to sit down with president biden and hash out a budget, so we'll see where that goes. elizabeth: grady trimble, always

great reporting from you. let's welcome back to the show from house ways and means congressman greg steube and economic pro carol roth. congressman, few people take the president's budget, $7 trillion, seriously. it reads like it's written by the far-left squad and senator warren and bernie sanders after they drank a vat of coffee. [laughter] what do you make of thisesome. >> yeah. and let me make this point, this is the highest, unsustained levels of taxes, spending and deficits in american history. $7 trillion, we only take in about $4.9 trillion, so it's almost $2 trillion than what we take in. when i first got elected to congress five years ago, our deficit was at $21 trillion. the deficit now is at $31 trillion because democrats have been in control the entire time, and they can't help themselves but spend their way out of a problem. and i thought what the president said was very interesting, if we spend more, the taxpayer saves money. how does that make sense? elizabeth: yeah. he said that like 15 years ago, carol, and service the ludicrous

the first time he said it -- it was ludicrous the first time he said it. what he's really saying by that endpoint, it's going to be the federal debt's going to be $49 trillion. that's about half the gdp of the entire planet. >> yeah. i love the fact that we pretend that this is a budget. when i think about the budget for my household, it's what i can afford, it's not just a wish list of everything that i want to spend. and, liz, just think about the timing, how tone deaf this is. right now we have the fed who's trying to fight inflation, they're trying to destruct demand, that's what they're saying, and they're getting absolutely no help from the biden administration for this proposal. they're like, no, we're just gonna keep spending. good luck to you, powell and company. and when you think about this $2 trillion, almost $2 trillion deficit that they're proposing, they're doing that at higher interest rates because, obviously, the fed's been raising interest rates. and, you know, fed is trying to destruct demand, so ostensibly,

if that works, we're going to have less revenue collected as well. it makes absolutely no sense. elizabeth: the fed is chasing inflation fueled by biden's government spending, doing even more rate hikes, congressman. economists warn the fed doesn't know what it's doing. watch fed chair powell now blaming high inflation on the weather. watch this. >> but you've also said higher, longer. is that still the case? >> yes. the data from january on employment, consumer spending, manufacturing production and inflation have partly reversed the softening trends that we'd seen in the data just a month ago. some of this reversal likely reflects the unseasonably warm weather in january in much of the country. still, the breadth of the reversal along with revisions to the previous quarter suggests that inflationary pressures are running higher than expected at the time of our previous fomc meeting. elizabeth: what do you think, congressman?

>>st the insane. st the like we're just gonna blame the illegal immigration on the southern border to the climate change, we're going to blame inflation because of the weather when it's all the democrat spending. for the first four years that i was in congress, the democrats spent trillions and trillions of dollars. we put $11 trillion more on deficit in just those four years. has why we are seeing inflation at the levels we're seeing, because the country is spending that amount of money and then doling it out to people in america. elizabeth: and, carol, the other thing that's happening too, you know, is the president went after oil and gas company profits today, you know, saying how dare they, we're in a global recession. so he's basically admitting we're in a recession only when it comes to u.s. and oil -- oil and gas profits, right? but then you see here energy secretary granholm taking credit for u.s. oil and gas rescuing europe in the middle of russia-ukraine. and then you get to watch a house hearing on u.s. oil and

gas go off the rails yesterday. a squad member brought in racism. watch this. >> today the world is moving quickly to shift away from russian energy sources, as they should. >> one of these so-called energy experts is a philosopher who has previously s spoused white supremacist views. for instance, in his 2000 college newspaper he wrote, quote: the african and american studies department has 23 classes, and many of these classes african culture is presented -- >> mr. chairman? she just called a witness a white supremacist. >> no, i referred to the words, not to the person. not to him. the words. >> the gentlelady is referring to the witness' statement and -- >> words -- >> -- as a white supremacist. i would like a parliamentary -- [inaudible conversations] >> excuse me. >> -- taken down. elizabeth: carol, what because

this haved to do with u.s. energy security? >> it has absolutely nothing to do with the u.s. energy security. unfortunately, we keep focusing on the side show rather than the problem. we have supply constraints. we could be fixing this through fiscal policy that's responsible. unfortunately, we're getting none of that help and more and more government spending and expansion. elizabeth: congressman steube, or carol roth, good to see you both. come back soon. >> good to see you. elizabeth: okay, another irony, again, again a norfolk southern train derail, this time in alabama. right as norfolk southern's ceo is testifying in congress over the east palestine, ohio, toxic train crash. and president biden still has no plans to visit. the white house says, quote, he's noting agonizing over that. nbc reporting that. and we've got texas congressman pat fallon on what fbi director wray and dni avril haines testified about that is rattling u.s. authorities. that's next on "the evening

elizabeth: look who's back with us, texas congressman pat fallon from house oversight. it's good to see you. let's break this down. former fbi officials now say americans should not go on spring break in mexico. this is after the murder of two americans among the four kidnapped just south of the border near brownsville,. reuters and daily mail reporting two may have had criminal records involving drug trafficking. reports are they went there for one of the in the group's cosmetic surgery. what do you make of the warnings about not going to mexico for spring break? >> liz, i would heed those warnings and, in fact, the texas dps, which are our state troopers, have been issuing for years warnings telling texans not to go to mexico. what most americans don't

realize is mexico's murder rate is six and a half times higher than here in the united states. it's a de facto narco state, it's lawless, and i would not go. elizabeth: there's that and, congressman, this is the really rattling u.s. authorities that dni avril haines and fbi director christopher wray testified they do not have enough resources for their agencies to fight biden's broken border. let's watch this. >> judge wray, are you able to keep tabs on these individuals coming in. >> not on every single person, certainly. >> we do not have as deep a bench of analysts on these issues, and we are not as, therefore, resourced as we need to be in order to really address this question. elizabeth: so how can the president break the border? show quinnipiac poll, nearly seven out of ten disapprove of biden on the border. if they don't have the resources, how can biden break the border? >> well, he could provide the resources and the will which he's just lacked in the last two

plus years. when you allow nearly 6 million people to cross illegally, of course you can't keep tabs on them. don't let them in in the first place. reinstitute president trump's policy of wait in mexico because most of these people are economic migrants, they're not asylum seekers, not legitimate asylum seekers. elizabeth: the white house is backing off of declaring them domestic -- excuse me, terrorist groups. gop lawmakers and former ten william barr, they say send in the military the, bill clinton did in the '90s. but, congressman, that was two major cartels. now it's at least six. what do you think about the idea of sending in the military to deal with what's going on at the border. >> i think we have no other choice, quite frankly, liz. again, if you have a border as large as we have with a narco state, you have to use all means at your disposal. i've already cosponsored legislation to the authorize the military to be used to fight the

cartels because they're some of the most evil people on the planet, and they're putting americans' lives in danger both and north of the border. elizabeth: it hits trade, it hits tourism. former fbi officials warning vacation resorts in mexico may not be safe, that even driving on highways in mexico are not safe because the drug cartels set up checkpoints basically like a toll gate that you have to drive through. congressman, let's get your reaction to the white house again downplaying and misleading that the border is safe. watch this. >> well, let's be very clear, let me take on the drug part here since you brought this up. because of the work that this president has done, because of what we've cone specificallien on fentanyl at the border, it's at historic lows. >> this is a war. act like it, cosomething! this was not an overdose, this was murder. they kept saying, oh, this is zien possiblyic, fear mongering. that's what the democrats said when i was there testifying.

and, you know, again, i said in the when i testified, fentanyl doesn't care what race you are. everybody's dying. elizabeth: congressman, the press secretary saying there's record lows of fentanyl at the border, it's historic awe highs. more americans died from overdoses fueled by fentanyl than vietnam, iraq and afghan wars combined. >> liz, she is a profession ally car, and i find what she said completely offensive because 108,000 americans died of overdoses, opiate overdoses last year, 80,000 to fentanyl. that's 293 a day, that's about what we lost when we fought world war ii. so it's never been worse, and for them to the brag about drug seizures, go ahead and ask the dea because i met with the dea in dallas a couple weeks ago, and they know they just catch a percentage of the drugs coming across the border. when seizures are up, a lot of the drugs are making it through. americans have never been more endangered, and this is joe

carrie lens. good to see you both. carrie, let's start with you. okay, another norfolk southern train derailed, this time in alabama odd the right before its ceo was getting grilled before the senate over the toxic train crash that you and your family live near, right? you guys are suffering health problems. are you happy with the help your town is getting? >> not at all. and i see everybody talking about all the good work they're doing, but as far as implementation, we really haven't seen much. elizabeth: so norfolk southern is saying they've going to pledge $21 million. we're hearing still no fema money for you guys, that there's still debates, you know, about whether to the declare it as a disaster area. it's one of the worst train crashes in u.s. history. >> that's correct. yes. alan haw, they did get us out of there. we just relocated this monday due to clean-up efforts, and so

we are thankful for that. but they noted that this is just voluntary. they're still saying that everything is safe and fine. but as soon as you go outside, you smell it, you have symptoms. elizabeth: what are your symptoms? what are your family's symptoms? >> my son who's 9, he's been coughing anytime he goes around our home or the site, he starts coughing, sore throats, ear pain and pressure. my face gets red and tingly, painful. you can smell it, you can iowas the it. it's very obvious there's something there. elizabeth: yeah. so, will, you hear what carrie's saying. nbc is reporting president is still not going. the white house, said the white house is, quote, not agonizing over that decision that he's not going. what do you make of that, will? >> well, i just think it's another indication that the far left doesn't really care about the consequences of their

policies. we've seen this with esg investing which we were happy to see the cra of the esg rule passed today. it's just another example of how they claim to care about the environment and yet look at this, a huge environmental disaster, and they're nowhere to be the found. elizabeth: blackrock, the investor from blackrock, the world's biggest asset manager, is pushing everybody to go climate-friendly, pushing out 401(k) money to be politicized in retirement money for climate change. blackrock owns about 10 million shares of norfolk southern. they have yet to speak out on what carrie and east palestine residents are going through. senator chuck schumer reportedly gets the the most campaign money from blackrock, will. >> well, it's a great example of how esg is really just a scam. they claim that this investing is supposed to reduce these types of incidents, but what it really does is just push corporations to focus on far-left, progressive pollices. and is real environmental and safety issues like what's going on right now in ohio get

disregarded or ignored. so i do think you can look at the big asset managers like blackrock and ceo larry fink and say if esg investing is everything that you say that it is, why is this kind of thing happening over and over again? elizabeth: you know, house speaker kevin mccarthy signed a bill today to the strike down biden's new rule that would politicize the retirement accounts of 152 million americans to push it toward things like climate change. the president could veto this. so, carrie, when you hear what will is saying, when you hear about, you know, our retirement money being pushed toward politics, pushed toward climate change, the president still not going to east palestine, what is your feeling about that? >> i just want him to know that we're people. i have two boys, and we are stuck living in this. yes, we're are relocated right now, but we still have to return back to that home. and just to look at us as people. would you want your child being raised here?

you know, we're concerned about grand kids one day, are they going to be born with birth defects, are they going to have cancer? these are the kinds of concerns we have right now, so i just wish they would have compassion, see us as people. elizabeth: good point. will heil, carrie lenz, we see you as people. thanks for talking to us, both of you. we're going to stay on that story it's good to see you. okay, this coming up, your neighborhood drugstore now hit by california's abortion politics? plus, we've got my hot take coming up on "the evening edit." that's next. ♪ ♪ because without privacy in your vacation home, it isn't really a vacation... ...is it?

elizabeth: well, look who's here, kristin tate, columnist for "the hill" magazine, author and independent women's voice fellow. kristin, it's so good to see you. we've got california governor gavin newsom canceling the $54 million contract with walgreens, walgreens indicating it will not sell an abortion pill by mail in some conservative-led state, but what if farmlies like rite concern pharmacies like rite aid do the same? won't he have to cancel those too? >> i guess so. he's financially punishing walgreens for not breaking the law. they're just following various

state laws across the country. look, i don't think the facts actually matter to gavin newsom. he is trying to send a political message which is that you either align with the radical left so completely that you're willing to break the law, or you with will be punished. and this is what the left always because, hay try to make their opponents' ideas completely intolerable in the public sphere. but i will add that walgreens was already closing a bunch of locations in california even before this story. just over a year request ago they closed five locations in san francisco alone due to the out of control theft. i mean, we have all seen the videos of mobs of criminals running into stores with arms full of merchandise, pushing over customers, bullying elderly shoppers. and hay do it with impunity in california. crime is just accepted in gavin newsom's state. elizabeth: you know, kristin, the other thing too is the contract that the governor canceled, governor newsom of california canceled, is for walgreens to the supply medications and drugs to the state prison system. isn't that using prisoners as

political pawns? weren't democrats all for reforming and helping prisoners? >> of course. but this is all just about making a big statement. he's trying to get himself ready maybe for a presidential run or to kind of be the big national opponent to ron desantis. st the all about spending -- sending political messages. and somehowsome's big project -- newsom's big project is too toy too -- to try to make california into a lib rule you pope ya. we have abortions on demand, there is crime ec e loading in your backyard, your young child will be sexually indoctrinated in their school without your knowledge or consent and, by the way, give over half your income to various levels of government in taxes. this message is not appeal appealing to many people in this country including many democrats which is why between 2020-2022 california saw a net exodus of 700,000 people. they lost more people during that span than any state in the country. people are fed up, they're

coming to states like where i am here in texas. elizabeth: so, you know, 20 statements' attorneys general, mostly gop governors, say wall greens, they could -- walgreens, they could face legal consequences if they sell the abortion pill in their state. walgreens sense a response to each of them saying we'll not do that, and california governor newsom is unfairly singling it out noting that other pharmacy chains like albertsons, rite aid, costco, walmart have not yet said how they will respond to these threats from these gop attorneys general. so that's what the issue is. can the democrat governor keep going and knocking out state contracts if he doesn't like what he says? >> i mean, he can -- what he sees? >> i mean, he can certainly try. again, he's asking private companies to break with state laws, and he really shouldn't be directing his anger at walgreens. he's angry with various state laws across the country where he doesn't live or have any jurisdiction. it's just, again, it's all just

about making a big political saint. he's chasing businesses out of the state. even tech companies, i mean, oracle and hp both left california for texas, and they're bringing their work forces with them. it's a miserable state to do business. elizabeth: it's good to see you. thanks for spending time with us. okay, stay right there, my hot take is next. ♪ ♪ u could see nothing here. or here. . . go. baker tilly.
