lighting he's doing about his own spending. larry: liz you're so tough. liz: i thought i'd test drive that joke on you. larry thank you it was a great show. let's get right at this. breaking news, reuters reporting u.s. banks warn the government will hit its debt limit earlier than thought. they are duking it out in d.c. the president just wildly tried to claim tax cuts are maga, the same tax cuts that jfk and bill clinton backed and house speaker mccarthy say biden is the one whose extreme. biden is the one pushing a high stakes 11th hour standoff. this will hit your kitchen table biden is not negotiating. a new monmouth poll, half of voters say yeah inflation is hurting the middle class and this is hitting biden's claims he's middle class joe. we have news coming in about your gas prices that are now rising higher gas is going up, even before the summer driving season. edward lawrence has got the news

live at the white house with more. edward? reporter: hey, liz. gasbuddy is warning a 15-$0.25 jump in gas prices for those folks in the north east and mid-atlantic, because of a number of factors but triple a is saying as you saw the gas prices are rising $0.07 in the past week, $0.23 over the past month. gasbuddy founder patrick de haan says oil prices have switched to summer gas blend and increased demand played a role in this yet beyond the summer depends on the economy. >> it's a question of supply opec just cutting it, but if americans consume less, we may not see as much pain from that decision to cut production, so if the economy starts accelerating again, in the summer and fall, that opec decision is going to have much more of a bite. reporter: and we will never hear from the white house. they need a slowdown or a recession for gas prices. the argument here at the white house is that gas is not as high as it was a year ago.

$4 a gallon you remember though president joe biden when he came into office gas was $2.39 a gallon. now in the confirmation hearing for white house economic advisor jarrod bernstein, senator steve danes pushed about changing energy policies. >> the pipeline generates a lot less carbon than by rail or by truck so why not use a pipeline? >> so again, senator, i'm happy if confirmed to get into -- >> okay, i don't believe it. >> the keystone pipeline does not produce more oil. >> it moves more oil. >> the biden administration produces more oil. >> it's laughable to think the biden administration somehow pro-oil and pro-natural gas and pro-coal. reporter: and right now, there are no plans by president biden to address the rise in gas prices at this moment. liz: got it, edward lawrence great reporting let's welcome to the show look whose here. former reagan art laffer and grover norquist with americans for tax reform. gentlemen, thank you so much. all right, let's start with you. american standard of living is

taking hits. all-in inflation is above 13% since biden took office. new monmouth poll more than half of voters 51% say the middle class has not benefited all from biden's policies so why is the white house gas lighting its off the hook? do you think speaker mccarthy is going to get the 218 votes to pass the house republicans debt ceiling resolution to limit government spending? >> let me just say, i don't know why the white house does anything, liz. i really just don't. they have been doing bad policies the whole time here, and whether mccarthy gets something or not depends upon whether he can keep the cohesive group in the house together to be able to negotiate as a unit. i don't know if he can do that. i have my doubts because then margin is so narrow, i have my doubts that they can really hold the line tough, but if he can, he could get good stuff in there like work fair or some of the other stuff there, some of the cuts, but the real substantive cuts will come a year and a half from now in 202s

right in front of us. liz: yeah, so you know, but to what art is just saying, grover, there's a lot of common sense stuff the republicans want to do clawback pandemic spending. spending caps. no to biden's astronomical student loan bailout. republicans are saying president biden would rather create a debt crisis, because he doesn't want to negotiate. what do you think, grover? >> well, there are two different issues here. one is what's good for the country, and the other is what's good for the structure s of the modern democratic party, and the modern democratic party is made up of a collection of competing parasites, all of which need more money, and so biden has to go out there and lie, if you want, or tell fibs or exaggerate about how wonderful it is to raise taxes and spend more money, because that's what his base in cysts on if they are going to turn out the vote for the next election, so he would rather have a weak economy but well-fed troops than the other way around.

liz: so what grover just said, art, i'd like your reaction to president biden today, trying to claim that tax cuts are "maga." this is off the chain. this is really off the hook, art these are the same kinds of tax cuts that jfk and bill clinton were for. watch president biden here. >> republicans and congress support more than $3 trillion in tax cuts and give-aways over the next 10 years toward those at the very top of the agenda, and the income agenda. liz: your reaction, art? >> i think that it's crazy what he's saying. it's counter-factual. every time we've raised the highest tax rate in america, elizabeth, every time the economy has gone into the doldrums, the poor have been damaged and revenues have fallen those are the facts. it's not an opinion. those are the facts of 110 years , 108 years of data from the irs, and i loved, i loved grover's phrase, he wants well- fed troops even with a weak economy. what a cool phrase.

grover i'm going to steal that from you. i think it's really true. it shows exactly what's happening. liz: you know, so i love the phrase too. grover, listen. >> it's terrific. liz: we're 31 trillion in debt. biden has a not serious budget of 6.8 trillion. nobody thinks that's a serious budget. watch kevin mccarthy here. >> americans have received a pay cut for 24 consecutive months. the longest streak in american history as inflation has just persisted. in fact, since president biden took office, families have lost the equivalent of $7,400 worth of income. liz: what do you think? this is what biden's approve rating has been trending around 37%. final word, grover. >> biden's popularity has gone

down because the economy is doing poorly, but again, remember what obama told us. he would rather have a high capital gains tax even if it meant losing revenue, because it played into the envy politics that's part of his base, so poverty is not the enemy. successful people are the enemy. liz: yeah, and it's a tragedy what's going on. you know, guys, i have to leave it here, but you know, we have been watching the polling coming out. this president is trending the worst in in indiana approval ratings since truman. biden is now below every president since then. it's good to see you art laffer and grover norquist. >> it's going for good reasons. liz: we hear you. all right we'll have you guys back on good to see you. let's welcome to the show look whose here, congressman of the house ways and means and former all-american swimmer at the university of kentucky riley gains, thank you for joining us. congressman let's move to you.

the white house is saying it will veto the bill you sponsored aimed at keeping biological out of women sports at colleges and public schools. your reaction. >> first of all it's not surprising given their woke progressive agenda but i'll say this. i think the american people deserve to know where their members of congress are on this. i'm very happy that speaker mccarthy is going to bring it up for a vote here, so every member is going to have an opportunity to vote and then we'll send that bill to the senate, and ask the senate to bring it up for a vote as well. liz: what do you think of this , riley? we've got 22 states with laws on the books that do this. we saw what happened when you were physically assaulted at san francisco state university. you know, and now the white house is now moving to change title 9 to allow transgender athletes to compete against women. what's your take on all of this , riley? >> what the biden administration is doing is undermining the women who fought relentlessly to get equal equal opportunity in sports. it's amazing that they're doing

this and being inclusive and kind but in reality this is not inclusive. this is excluding the female athletes who title 9 was created to protect so i'm so incredibly grateful for the leadership of representative stubey, and tenne y, all of the co- sponsors for really standing up to this. it's crucial. we as women, deserve safety and deserve privacy and equal opportunity. liz: riley, let me just stay with you for a second on this. more and more reports are surfacing of women athletes getting injured. physically injured in competition with transgender athletes. we're seeing it in volleyball, hockey, lacrosse and more. australia just stopped a transgender athlete from playing on a women's basketball team so that's an under-reported story about women athletes getting injured on the field. >> absolutely it is. it raises the question, you know , why don't we see trans men or biological females competing against the men? and i can tell you why. it's because these women, they would never be competitive with men. this only goes one way and it

only goes in the way that is equivalent to the erasing of women and safety is a big part of it. of course men are on average taller, stronger, more powerful, faster. any sport where you have to worry about physical contact, there is the risk of being injured by a male. liz: so you know the thing is, congressman, what riley is saying. should there be a push for a trans league? >> no. i think we have two leagues. there's the men's league and women's league. congress created women's sports in the 70s over 50 years ago, specifically to give women an equal playing field as it relates to sports, and congress created it because they can't as riley said obviously compete with men on the same playing field because of the differences in our physicalness and it needs to be just like we've had for those 50 years and every attempt by biological males to compete with women goes against and attacks women's sports and

this bill will rectify that and protect women's sports and like riley from doing exactly what they need to do and not having their titles stolen by biological men. liz: yeah, and riley, people say that you have compassion for transgendered individuals, right? but the issue is should they just have their own league where they are competing against each other, riley? >> you know, this one is hard. i think there's no perfect solution that would result in compassion showing for everyone but right now what's happening is we're neglecting the compassion for women. of course women on average makeup 51% of the population. we're catering to the minority here. that's what's happening so the left tries to make this about humanity and feelings but whose taking into account our feelings as women? again and so it brings the question, how can you value one group's mental health, self- perception feelings over the other but right now what's happening is the opposite of what a democracy really is.

liz: so what's happening too is women athletes are not getting the sponsorships that male athletes are getting. they aren't getting as much scholarship money as male athletes are getting, and i'd like to get your reaction, congressman, to olympic gold medalist donna dironna speaking out about the need for a reasonable approach. >> riley gains is not alone. she's got a lot of us veterans behind her but where is middle america? wake up, mothers and fathers. start speaking out. when you get to scholarships, when you get to fairness and safety, we have to come up with a reasonable way to deal with this population. >> apparently a lot of america feels like they've had an agenda shoved down their throat on this issue, that they feel has real-world consequences for them and their children. do they have a point when it comes to trans issues? this seems to be no room for debate. you have to accept everything they say, or else you are a big ot. liz: what do you think, congressman? >> yeah, i agree with his

perspective on that and i don't think, there already is a reasonable solution. that reasonable solution is you compete in the gender that you are in that athletic competition. it's that easy, if you're a biological male, you compete in the mens team and if you're a biological female you compete on the women's team. we've created title 9 to protect women's sports and create women 's sports so they have an equal playing field to compete with one another. liz: but today, testimony, riley , and democrats are saying, you know, if you do question this , you're a bigot. education secretary cardona in testimony today would not say if it's fair for male athletes to identify as a female and go on to dominate women's sports so the democrats are acting like if you even question it you're a bigot. >> that's what i've been experiencing this past year which is what makes this movement so special in a way that they are actively trying to make us deny science, truth, and quite frankly, common sense under again the disguise

of being kind and inclusive and accepting and tolerant and lov ing and all these things, but in reality what it is we're lying to ourselves when we're denying the shear essence, essentially, of humanity we're denying man and woman. today i saw a video of someone on the biden administration again refusing to acknowledge what a woman is. how have we gotten to the point where this is controversial, i simply don't understand. liz: thanks for joining us tonight. we'll stay on this story. okay we've got new developments coming in, a new senate report revealing powerful new evidence the covid pandemic broke out much earlier in china than has been reported, and from two separate lab leaks, and it keeps growing. government documents indicate six more biden family members profited from cashing in and biden's government job overseas. republicans say they are finding even more biden family corruption is even deeper than realized. plus, a new poll americans demand energy independence. half of americans now support oil drilling in alaska and elon

musk says watch out. he warns artificial intelligence will manipulate public opinion through social media even worse than government agencies are already doing so which government agency do you trust to regulate ai? we've got coming up congressman james comer, brad winstrop, and tech expert jessica malugen, all on the "evening edit" coming up. >> it is conceivable that ai could take control and reach a point where you couldn't turn it off and it be making decisions for people. >> yeah, absolutely. >> absolutely? >> no that's definitely where things are headed. i'm your overly competitive brother. check. psych! and i'm about to steal this game from you just like i stole kelly carter in high school. you got no game dude, that's a foul!

liz: there's mounting concern among privacy experts and lawmakers about government surveil absolutely of online conversations on social media reading your messages? elon musk said the government had access to twitter users private messages. grady trimble live on capitol hill with the latest. grady we didn't know the story before. reporter: no, liz. yeah, we knew that our posts were public. we did not know that the government might have had access to our direct messages as well. in that interview with tucker carlson, elon musk explained how the government had access to those direct messages, and he also revealed what he's going to

do about it. >> so one of the things that we're about to release is the ability to encrypt, so if you are in a conversation you think is sensitive you can turn encryption on and no one can see what you're talking about. they can put a gun to my head and i couldn't tell. reporter: the twitter files and the subsequent hearings on capitol hill revealed the cozy relationship between the government and the social media company. republicans now want to find out whether that's also the case with other tech platforms. >> i think the idea that the government was monitoring dm 's is or welian, disturbing and congress should act on this as far as big governments collusion with big tech to censor people, spy on people, monitor people in the united states of america we believe the first amendment gives people the ability to express themselves and the government doesn't get to shut that down. reporter: elon musk called

twitter a "glorified activist organization" before he bought the company, liz, and he says that explained why he was able to lay off 80% off its staff and keep twitter running. liz: grady trimble great reporting there. it's good to see you. let's bring in tech expert jessica melugin. your reaction to that report because elon musk is saying he's for government regulation or artificial intelligence and that artificial intelligence can manipulate public opinion on social media even worse than we've seen since the election in 2020. >> yeah, well i think he's right to be concerned on both fronts. ai has a lot of potential but there is always risks with new innovations that are this significant and he is sure as heck right we can't have big tech or medium size tech colluding with the u.s. government, completely unacceptable and encryption is a great step from the private sector and we need congress to hold these agencies accountable who interfered with the speech of americans. liz: jessica the question is

which government agency would you trust to regulate ai? >> you know, i'm a skeptic of regulation in general. this is no exception. mostly because even if we all play by these rules and decide this , china's not going to. bad actors around the world aren't going to and sometimes the best protection is keeping one step ahead of the bad guys, so i'm kind of, i'm always skeptical of regulation and it applies to ai as well. liz: okay, so ai is getting increasingly concerning. let's watch more of elon musk on this. watch this. >> if you have a super- intelligent ai that is capable of writing incredibly well, in a way that is very influential, you know, convinc ing, and then enter social media, for example, twitter, but also facebook and others and potentially manipulates public opinion in a way that is very bad, how would

you know? >> he really seemed to be sort of digital super-intelligence, basically a digital god, if you will, as soon as possible. he's made many public statements over the years. the whole goal of google is what's called agi, artificial intelligence general intelligence. we should be cautious with ai and we should i think there should be some government oversight. liz: what do you think, jessica, because elon musk was just talking about google wanting to create a digital god. >> like i said i think there's always risks of these technolog ies but i'll tell you something uniquely human and a skill that we have that ai will never have and that's skepticism and we need to employ that. we've learned that the hard way with social media and we've learned that as a civilization about every kind of new invention of media there is. you still have to think for yourself, you still have to compare answers, so there's a lot of experts in ai who aren't

as worried about this as musk. he's a brilliant person, we should listen to that but hopeful for the things ai promises. liz: but jessica, the way the news is getting out there, people out there are really concerned they aren't getting the straight story and a lot of information. the media is not covering what is shown in government reports that we've been reading and other experts have also been reporting on. there was a manipulation about the hunter biden laptop story, lan manipulation of covid, and a lot of manipulation about noteworthiness and how good shutdowns were, they were not. so you know what i mean? the national conversation has been distorted, because of what people are reading on social media and if ai steps in and distorts it even more, then what do you do? >> well i think part of the distortion story is what your reporter just highlighted. the governments influence of this is completely unacceptable

and hopefully we'll have some sunshine and sanitizer and getting rid of that and putting guardrails up on the u.s. government interfering with media or any other kind of information. liz: i mean, elon musk is warning facebook was even basically favoring democrats, that we've seen that throughout social media that the democrat narrative was favored on social media from facebook on through. final word. >> yeah, i don't think that facebook users be too surprised to hear that and i love that elon is starting his own project and maybe bring much-needed counter balance to that bias. liz: jessica, good to see you. this news coming in. we'll dig into the news that possibly six more biden family members profited from cashing in on biden's government job overseas and we have congressman brad wenstrup, the senate report reveals powerful evidence the covid pandemic broke out much earlier in china than china reported from two separate lab leaks. it's coming up next in the

information supports the plausible of an unintentional research- related incident that likely resulted from failures of biosafety containment during sar s co-v 2 vaccine related research and the report went on to suggest that covid-19 may have actually leaked two times at the wuhan institute of virology, in september or october of 2019 which was contained and in november 2019 on a much bigger scale when chinese researchers were conducting highly risky gain of function research in an effort to develop a covid vaccine. now, senator marshall, a doctor himself, tells me the kind of work that was being done there in wuhan scares him to death as a scientist. >> so they were taking viruses that were already very contagious and making them more virulent, more transmissible as well, so they were doing viral gain of function studies with deadly viruses that had maybe a morbidity rate of maybe 10, 20%

as well, so doing those in a bio equivalent of two or three lab as a scientist scares me to death. reporter: and today the republican house subcommittee investigating the origins of covid-19 held their own hearing with former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe temperaturing that a chinese lab leak is the only explanation and the chinese embassy was not happy about today's hearing. they told republicans in a letter essentially to back off. here is part of that letter. "we call on the u.s. side to expect science and facts, refrain from targeting china in holding the above-mentioned hearings and put a stop to the intelligence-led politics-driven origins tracing and help promote international solidarity against the pandemic and global cooperation on science-based origins tracing." >> the chinese embassy express es grave concern regarding this hearing and states they firmly oppose it. we have news for beijing.

these intimidation tactics will not work. you will not slow down or work and we will not cease. reporter: and liz, senator marshall went on to tell me his confidence in his reports conclusion that this all started as a lab leak is a 9/10. he says if china wants to dispute that they are more than welcome to. all they have to do is turnover their data and be transparent. liz: what great reporting. bill thank you so much, bill melugin there. joining us now the chair of the house select subcommittee congressman brad wenstrup. brad you're standing up saying china, stop the bullying. there are two lab leaks in china , evidence of that in the fall of 2019. this is way earlier than they realized. they are the ones covering up. >> yeah, and that was an excellent report i have to say and i've had the opportunity being on the intelligence committee for the last three years really conducting our own investigation into the origins of covid and i've had the opportunity to work with that senate team that put that report out today, so no real

surprise for what i'm hearing today, and certainly understanding all the way so we get this letter from the chinese embassy telling us that they oppose our investigation on the select subcommittee and tell us to cease and assist basically which we are not going to do, and so the evidence is coming out and today john ratcliffe was very outright, and forthright, if you will. here is a guy who was the director of national intelligence during the pandemic at the height of the pandemic he had information that was available to very few people. he had more information than anyone else could possibly have and he's made his conclusion. look, we may never have 100% on this , but we're certainly going to have an abundance of confidence in our feeling that this came from the lab as we get more and more information and just one other thing in the same vein. the former cdc of china, the former cdc director of china has come out and said there's

absolutely no evidence that this came from nature. go ahead. liz: no, no, sorry. what we're looking at right now, a quinnipiac poll. economist poll, two-thirds of americans believe it leaked out of a lab in china. you know, what was striking about this report, congressman, you've been working on this , that scientists in china were getting sick with covid and hospitalized in the fall of 2019 that's the belief there, there's evidence of that and that the wuhan lab researchers were working on at least two covid vaccines by that fall of 2019, way before anyone had heard of covid but china said the first human-to-human transmission was in january of 2020. you know, china was flying in and out of the u.s. hundreds and thousands of air flights from china into the u.s. bringing hundreds of thousands of passengers at that time. >> yup, and as the researchers were getting sick we saw some interesting things taking place in wuhan where they put in a new

ventilation system and started to destroy their data and this civilian supposedly civilian entity, the wuhan institute of virology was taken over by the military so we see a preponderance of evidence. it just goes on and on and we'll continue to release it. liz: go ahead finish your thought. >> well, in response to that letter, i'm responding to them, and inviting the chinese scientist, if they are still alive, to help us with this committee. liz: so we're not seeing evidence that the nih went into the wuhan lab or any of this china cdc labs to monitor what they are doing or any evidence that echo health alliance the non-profit that got funding from dr. fauci's agency went in there to monitor what was going. was the u.s. doing proper oversight of these labs? they were operating with dangerous frankenstein viruses that the could basically create and trigger pandemics. >> that's a huge point to be made. we were funding these things

through ego health alliance and sometimes through our academic institutions giving sub-grants and there was no oversight that we know of and when there was actually any allowance of the w. h. o. to come into wuhan , they allowed one person from the united states to go there. peter dasick, and he runs ego health alliance and funding this type of research. they were asking for grants for gain of function research, and it's all adding up and america is starting to get it and that poll shows that. liz: got it, congressman thanks for joining us we'll have you back on we hope again soon. we've got this new poll coming in. half of americans do support oil drilling in alaska. americans want energy independence now. also, congressman james comer joining us. evidence of six more biden family members profited from cashing in on president biden's government job overseas. that's coming up on the "evenini edit." er card is made for people like sam who make...?

liz: let's welcome back to the show the chairman of house oversight congressman james comer. congressman, it's good to see you. okay, these treasury documents, the suspicious activity reports. you're identifying six new biden family members involved in influence pedaling in overseas deals so now the total is nine. who are the six? >> well, we are going to disclose that in full detail next week, but what i want the american people to know is this is a family business. these influence peddling schemes didn't just happen with the president's son and his two brothers. this is the entire family. we're talking three generations here. this is something every american should be concerned about. we went into treasury. we requested certain information , certain bank violations and what we learned was there were many more llc's and many more biden family members that were involved in this , so our investigation continues to expand but at the end of the day, this is an

investigation of joe biden and he's going to have a lot of explaining to do as to why so many people in his family received so much money from our adversaries around the world. liz: there's allegations of corruption. how many more llc's how many bank accounts, what llc' were used allegedly to pay off prostitutes on behalf of hunter biden? >> well hunter had one particular llc that he used for a lot of questionable expenses, but there are many llc 's. we went in there thinking there were around a dozen. we found significantly more. we can't really identify what the purpose of these llc's were other than to essentially launder money or disguise where the revenue was coming from, and then it appears from the bank records that we have on the few llc's that we've request ed thus far that these ll c's were paying for basic living expenses for the biden family members so in other words they were living off this money that they were

getting from our adversaries around the world including the chinese communist party, and what we want to know is why were they getting this money? what benefit were places like china getting in return for the money, and that's why we're investigating joe biden. china's our biggest enemy in the world. even the democrats admit that. we have a president of the united states whose family members were receiving substantial sums of money for reasons that have not yet been identified. the president has never been truthful about how many of his family members have received money and he's never been truthful about why they were receiving so much money. liz: so you're subpoenaing bank of america, cafe bank, jpmorgan chase as well for records. are there also tax implications here that pulling in money but not paying the right amount of tax on it. >> that's the next big question look, these llc's i would estimate probably showed losses at the end of the year, or breakeven, so the family wasn't

even paying taxes more than likely on this money. we're going to request more information, but you know, this family went to great lengths to hide, number one, where the money was coming from and number two, to try to make it look like that they were involved in legitimate business enterprises, so my question to the president of the united states and the question that i wish the mainstream media would ask the president during limited press opportunities is what exactly was the business that your family was involved in because i haven't found an energy company. i haven't found any legitimate business other than influence pe ddling. liz: got it, congressman comer thanks for joining us. >> thank you. liz: our hot take is coming up plus congressman august pfluger, americans do support oil drill ing in alaska. americans demand energy independence now, but first, let's check in with our buddies

dagen and sean. >> sean: we have byron donalds coming up, congressman from florida talking about his hear ing with gary gensler but also all of the chaos with kids in chicago and now in l.a. dagen: michael shellenburger on the censor ship industrial complex. it's not just big government and big media. we're talking about disinformation, misinformation boroughs lurking here, there, and everywhere, he will tell you how to fight it. >> sean: john levine coming up in about 13 minutes so stick around. ♪ but i manage it well. ♪ ♪ it's a little pill with a big story to tell. ♪ ♪ i take once-daily jardiance, ♪ ♪ at each day's staaart. ♪ ♪ as time went on it was easy to seee ♪ ♪ i'm lowering my a1c. ♪

liz: okay, back with us now is congressman august pfluger. congressman, always good to have you back on, sir. congressman there's a surprising new poll 50% half of americans say yes, do drilling for oil in alaska's north slope. they are twice as likely to support that than the willow project so americans want energy independence now, but the green movement, the environmentalists are saying wait a second this is bad. you're burning more fossil fuels going to worsen climate change. this is a pretty striking new poll. >> well, thanks for having me

tonight. the only person that's surprised by this is president biden because he wants to outsource our jobs. he wants to export our jobs to places like china and russia, instead of being energy- independent like we were just a couple of years ago. he's surprised americans actually want to do it here and we can actually do it better and cleaner and more efficient and that's what republicans have been focused on. when we passed hr-1 the lowering energy cost act for americans, we said to america that we know how to do this so that you don't have to pay as much at the pump, you don't have to pay as much for utilities, and we're going to ease that burden not make it more expensive. liz: then you have the ninth circuit court of appeals tossing out burkely, california ban on gas stoves. that could stop other cities trying to kick out gas stoves as well. final word. >> no absolutely. why is the president of the united states, why are his policies trying to tell americans how to cook? let's help them buy groceries and let them figure that out for themselves. it's over reach at its best.

we'll continue to fight for every american family and for our economic security, can which includes allowing gas stoves just like we always have. liz: congressman, you know what's really scary for americans? all this stuff is being done outside of congress. that you guys don't get to legislate on all of these moves hitting their pocketbook. >> it really is gross overreach you know, when you look at what they are doing whether it's electric vehicles, whether emissions, emission czar and the rules that they are proposing or the gas stove ban, this is overreach at its best. this changes an independent speaking of vehicles to an extent that will absolutely kill our economy, and we don't have the electricity supply first off to do that and second off, let's talk to the farmers and the ranchers out there. do they want electric vehicles? is that practical for logistics and for farming and agriculture? no. liz: interesting. that's an interesting point. we'll stay on that angle. thanks forgiving it to us congressman pfluger. stick around we'll have more

sortly. we'll do our "hot take" next on the "evening edit." stay right there. t buying habite they disrupt your business. and fuel the search for what comes next. so...what are you waiting for?

do not take trelegy more than prescribed. trelegy may increase risk of thrush and infections. get emergency care for serious allergic reactions. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. . . because breathing should be beautiful. ♪ what is it about the first warm breeze of the season that makes you feel lighter than air? ♪ no matter where you are... when it crosses your path... you'll feel compelled to take to the road and see where it leads. ♪ the first step begins at the lincoln spring sales event. going on now, for a limited time.

another one later on possible hi in october. scientists were getting sick possibly from covid earlier than realized in china but you know china had shut that down and covered it up. that is the allegation. when you saw these bombshells coming out of the senate reportings what was your reaction? >> it is clear we can't trust the information that comes out of china? they don't tell the truth. they covered up many things. why we passed legislation, got to president to sign it, declassify origins of covid. i'm proud of the select committee house republicans installed on the origins of covid. we need to get to the bottom of it. so many businesses, so many people have been negatively affected. we need accountability. that is exactly what we're doing. liz: china also found out in the report working on vaccine for covid earlier than expected. moving the timeline earlier than expected. china is accused trying to tell

congress to stop this. don't investigate the pandemic anymore. they're accused of setting up police stations around the world including down in chinatown in new york city. two new york residents arrested helping china to do that, crack down on dissident to try to get them to return to china. >> look americans need to be fully aware, eyes wide open that the chinese communist party will not stop at any length to undermine u.s. national security. i have sponsored legislation to look at the malign influence of ccp organizations in our university. this police station is another example of the links they will go to. we have to understand, policies, energy, anything else, we need to do it here, not be dependent on china for anything. because they will undermine our own national and economic security. liz: what worries you most about this story? >> i think the thing that worries me here is that our administration doesn't have their eye on the ball. that is why republicans in the house with speaker mccarthy

are focusing, refocusing americans on the thinks we do best, not being dependent on china. understanding who our real allies are. getting our strength back in this country, like we had a couple short years ago. liz: final word are any democrats in d.c. concerned about this? >> i think the concern is bipartisan. it comes to the policy impacts. i want us to have a strong economy. why we're trying to bring democrats over to our side to understand what steps we need to take to regain the security and strength. liz: congressman pflueger, thanks for joining us. i'm liz macdonald. thanks for watching "the evening edit." we had a jam pack show. we are on a lot of headlines and news for you tomorrow. we want to get to our bodies on "the bottom line." dagen and sean. they have a hot show. sean: we'll keep fire burning, emac. thanks for pitching the ball to us. liz: sur
