larry: so i think mr. trump had it exactly right, we need common sense. and he's got a bunch of common sense pro-growth policy, and americans love choices, not dictates and central planning. and is we all love liz macdonald who is up next. elizabeth: thank you, larry. you know, i've renamed the inflation reduction act the common sense reduction act. so just wanted to give you that news. larry: ah, okay. elizabeth: try to make you laugh on a friday night. thank you, larry. it's good to see you.

we've got a new hot debate breaking out, could former president trump, could any of his legal fights end up at the supreme court? and we've got president biden's basement strategy, his polls are stuck in the wayment. basement. this is history we're living through. we haven't seen inflation light up a race like this since the mid '70s. plus, why are nancy pelosi and adam schiff a awol on out of control crime in their home tate of california? and cnn reports president biden is, quote, very obsessed with news coverage of the biden family's corruption probes. lawmakers are asking if they've got nothing to hide, why did biden use fake e-mail accounts, and why did the biden family use 20 shell companies at least? and young activists win a controversial lawsuit over climate change. also democrat how'd dean, he is -- howard dean, he is now slamming roadblocks to breakthrough drugs for alzheimer's.

i'm liz macdonald, "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ ♪ elizabeth: we've got a hot hoe for you tonight. let's welcome former deputy assistant attorney general john malcolm, fox news contributor joe concha. gentlemen, thanks for joining us this friday night and helping us out. first to you, john. "usa today" raising this legal debate. could former president trump's team ask the supreme court to decide whether his cases should be moved to federal court? because federal law lets u.s. officials, you know, move their cases to federal court if they're fighting state charges over actions related door to -- they worked for the federal government. john, does this debate have merit? what do you think? >> well, it could eventually reach the supreme court. i actually think that there is a strong argument that the case should be removed to federal court. mark meadows' attorney, george terwilliger, former deputy attorney general, has already filed the motion seeking the

removal from fulton county superior court, and i'm quite sure the other remaining 18 defendants are all going to join in that motion, and we'll see what a federal court judge does. that issue could work its way up to the supreme court eventually, i suppose. elizabeth: what do you think, joe? >> well, it's a crap shoot when it comes to anything as far as donald trump's legal challenges at this point. i mean, if you told me a year ago that he'd be facing 98 counts, multiple indictments from new york to miami, federal, state, it's a very dicey thing right now, and i think that would be, obviously, in donald trump's best interest to get it out of those places where, obviously, a judge and jury maybe already biased against him because -- it's going to be hard to find a jury, let's put it that way, who says they can remain objective when it comes to donald trump whether they're big supporter or very anti-trump. it's very hot and cold when it comes to this former president. it's very hard to sew how he get a a fay trial.

elizabeth: -- a fair trial. elizabeth: we've got "newsweek" putting out an op-ed saying voters do want a trump-biden rematch, you know? they're talking about lower grocery prices, securing the border, stopping crime in u.s. cities. john, let's turn back to you. trump's team filed a motion for the special counsel's case for the 2020 days to -- case to go to trial april 20226. ask we know that former president trump canceled a press conference monday. they need to make sure his public statements don't contra that districting the court filings. but what do you make of the moves here on behalf of the trump team saying we want to move the case for 2020 to april 2026? >> well, they're trying to counter, is so the prrs are all coming and saying let's try this case next week, we're ready. and he wants to push this off as long as possible, certainly until after the election. there's no way that all four of these cases are going to get try

before the election next year. i'd be surprised if more than one or two of them get tried. so the case in new york is already set for march, the classified documents case is already set for may. jack smith is trying to get his second indictment about the election tried in january. and, you know, fani willis with 19 defendants is asking for a trial sometime next summer. that will certainly never happen. and i think that for once the former president has listened to his lawyers and said cancel this press conference because nothing good can come out of it, and a lot of bad can come out of it. he held an interview with bret baier after he got indicted in the classified documents case, and that led to a superseding indictment adding charges that directly contradicted what he told bret baier. elizabeth: it's wild stuff. so, you know, what mr. mall malcolm is saying, we have that part of the story joe, and then you've to got trump firing back at his former attorney general, bill barr, barr saying trump will be convicted on some

counts. trump was warned by his lawyers his actions could lead to legal troubles. what do you make of all this,? put it together. where do you think voters are feeling and standing on this right now? >> i don't think it moves voters very much at all. every time we see donald trump get indicted, every time there's another legal case thrown at him, his numbers go up at least as far as primary voters. the question is, how does this affect the general, liz, because we assume that donald trump will win the nomination based on the fact that he's up 30 or 40 points, and that's a hard hill for him to climb. so the question is in the general election do suburban women come back to donald trump the way they did in 2016? hispanics? disgruntled democrats? are those the people who will say this is wrong, what's happening to former president, this is the weaponization of the department of justice and we think that trump's getting a raw deal, or do they say there's so much fatigue around donald trump, so much drama and, let's

face it, all jack smith or all these other district attorneys, all they need is just one count to stick out of 98. so donald trump's attorneys have to go 98-98 to clear him entirely. ultimately, liz, the real goal here for democrats is to keep donald trump front and center in the news cycle as far as his legal troubles as much as possible and take the focus off of the current president in biden because his record on the economy, wages, crime, the border, education, foreign policy is all vastly underwater. and if it comes down to issues, donald trump wins. if it comes down to donald trump the person and his legal troubles, then it's a 50-50 # crap shoot. elizabeth: got it. john, joe, that was terrific analysis. thank you so much. let's bring in, look who's here, he is a candidate for the u.s. senate in california. here's eric early. thanks for joining us on the show. let's explain this to the viewer e. you're running against democrat adam schiff for the california senate seat. you're saying adam schiff is

turning a blind eye to surging crime in your home state of california. notably in his district which spans west hollywood and l.a. i mean, so why do you say that he's gone awol? >> he's been awol for 20 years out here. adam schiff does not give a schiff about his constituents. he's more concern about prosecuting conservatives who love this country. this latest smash and grab, one of them, was right here in glendale, california, right in the middle of schiff's district. and he hasn't said a word about it, which is not surprising because he's never said a word about this stuff. he firmly supports this criminals paradise which is what california has become. they have relaxed all the i lawses for these thugs, frankly, that are doing the smash and grab stuff. he totally supports this no cash bail movement which allows them even if they get caught to be let right back out on the street. and notice that he hasn't said a

word about what happened just the other day right here in his district. that adam schiff, that's what he wants to bring to all of california. and, you know, los angeles is on its way to becoming what san francisco already has become, which is a growing and gathering ghost town up there where every major chain store has left because they can't put up with the ongoing smash and grabs, the ongoing thefts, the ongoing homelessness which is putting everybody's lives in danger. and what does this lead to? it leads to great americans -- and this crosses political lines, racial lines -- too afraid to go to these stores. nobody wants to be caught in the middle of one of these smash and grab situations. they don't want their kids there there, their families there. that puts the stores out of business, the people who work there, they lose their jobs. the local businesses that support all those people go out of business. we have a terrible problem here, and the answer is actually much simpler than it sounds. we have to get tough again, we

have to prosecute these people as felons, as the felons they are. we've not to set cash bail, and we've got to lock are 'em up. elizabeth: so you pointed to zero cash bail and these progressive policies that basically lower the threshold to make arrests as a driving factor in rising crime. is it that he, has he said he supports those laws or that he's not been vocal enough about saying no to these laws and policies? >> well, certainly hasn't been vocal enough, but adam schiff endorsed the district attorney of l.a. county. the district attorney of l.a. county is a guy named george fast gascon. he is behind every single one of these policies, and he's also supported by the ken doll who is our governor of this state and the torn general who is as far left as they come in relaxing every single law that has led to this situation. and now we're seeing they're all talking tough all of a sudden. newsom's talking tough, attorney general down here is talking

tough. schiff hasn't said a word. local mayor's talking tough. two weeks, when this is out of the headlines for a while, we'll be right back to where we came again. we have to be tough on these people. >> reporter: elizabeth: and gop lawmakers are saying the last time nancy pelosi commented on crime in california, certainly in her home district of san francisco, was two years ago. we're going to show the shocking moment, what happened in san francisco. a gang of burglars drove a lexus, they -- you've seen that, into a jewelry store. they're also breaking into parked cars in broad daylight can, criminals smashing car windows and then driving away. so more and more families, more people of all sorts, of every walk of life, all ages, all political parties. they're afraid to go out shopping in their local stores. they don't want to get caught up in the middle of this. that's what you're saying is coming down from san francisco into l.a. too. >> this is spreading into all the major cities in this state.

it all starts in the governor's office. it goes through our legislature which -- it is wall all to wall democrat. they have a super majority up there meaning they get anything passed they want. we have some great republican-led -- [no audio] every single one of these things as do my other to -- opponents, katie porter and barbara lee, and they have turned california into a criminalses' paradise. the good thing is, there's a way to stop this. we have to support our great cops again. we have to make the laws tougher e again, and it all comes town to common sense, you know? i'm a common sense conservative. this is not rocket science. if you punish these people for these crimes, if you actually set bail again, if you prosecute them, if you lock them up, they will learn that crime does not pay. and ask our neighborhoods, our communitieses, our people will

be safer again. and, you know, this is -- there's a ground swell of support around the state for me and other conservatives not only, of course, from conservatives and republicans, but more and more moderate democrats, independents are saying things have gone way too far, and eric early.com is where to support me. i need your support. elizabeth: got it. eric early, thanks for joining us. we'll stay on the story. >> thanks so much. elizabeth: coming up ahead, this new controversy: young activists sued montana over climate change and won. but did this lawsuit have merit and now environmentalists are saying they're going to take this, this cases to other states. tonight we've got the washington examiner's sarah bedford, neil chatterjee, the one and only kennedy and dr. marty makary, also economic pro carol roth. we've got americans paying for the white house's botched economic policies and biden's basement strategy as his polls are stuck in the basement. you're living through history right now, gang.

looking at stopping our reliance on adversarial nations and getting back to an america first ageneral ageneral -- agenda, stop the supply chain and raw material goods dependency that's created and start looking at decoupling and looking at other partners and is allies. >> reporter: and if he's talking about they that which the president will not say is an add have very share, only a competitor. so i asked him this:, mr. president, are you winning the competition with china? >> we're winning all the competitions. ♪ ♪ >> yeah, so president biden also avoiding questions about the appointment of a special counsel in the investigation into his son, hunter biden. >> i have no comment on any invest that's going on -- investigation that's going on. that's up to the justice department, and that's ooh all i have to say. >> reporter: so with all the questions, the president trying the turn around those lagging

poll numbers especially when it comes to the economy, with what people are seeing as they go to the grocery store, the gas station, you name it. elizabeth: edward, thank you so much. joining us now, wall street pro carol roth. the president just hosted a summit at camp david with the leaders of south korea and japan, but he still, you know, he's not doing well answering questions on the campaign trail about what american families are experiencing at their own kitchen table, carol can. he gets very hostile and aggressive. >> yeah. i mean, i don't blame him, liz, because there's absolutely no way to spin the state of the economy even though the people around him are trying to say the economy is great. it may be okay for a handful of the wealthy and well connected who have benefited from things like high asset prices, but for the majority of americans, for middle class american, for main street americans they've been decimated. they are spending, the estimates are families are spending $8500

a year more for the same level of goods and services. their wages haven't kept pace. if you have a home, you are, you want to move, you can't even do that because you're stuck in it because other houses are so expensive and mortgage rates have probably more than doubled on you. everybody feels stuck between a rock and a hard place. and you can say whatever you want, but when you bo to the grocery store and you can't have the same standard of living, that tells you everything you need to know. elizabeth: but it seems like biden and the democrats' answer is more government, more spending. just throw more taxpayer money at the problem. i can't even tell you what they're counting in these democrat-backed bills. the gop, republicans -- the debates are coming up on fox news next week. isn't it about who's got the policies voters like? we've not a federal judge agreeing with florida governor ron desantis, saying no to the biden white house's push to block and stop florida's new law to stop chinese nationals if

from buying land near military bases, power grids and farmland in florida. so we've got tough on, going tough -- governor desantis here, and that's what it's going to be. that's what voters are going to see at the debates next week. what do you think? >> yeah, we need to see more of that. something that i spoke about this my recent book that we should be reserve serve -- reserving the rights to purchase land and homes for bona fide american citizens, and there are all kinds of things that the republicans should be jumping up and down on to to make the economy better. of one of the things that i've talked about a lot is changing the government getting out of predatory student lending. there are many things that can be done very easily to right the ship. i mean, if we just rolled back. spending to where we were in 2019 before covid, we would be running a massive surplus. so this is not a problem that can't be solved, but somebody needs to have the fortitude to do that, and so certainly as we

look forward to those debates, those are the kinds of policies that i want to hear. i don't want to hear about all this kind of circus stuff, i want to hear about the things that are affecting the middle and the working class and preventing them from achieving -- preventing them from achieving the american dream. elizabeth: it's positivity, it's optimism, right in it's growth. walmart, and we have more and more companies saying, yeah, their earnings calls with wall street, yeah, inflation is an issue for consumers. consumers are shopping more at wal-mart to cut costs of necessities. but biden keeps saying his economy is great when isn't it true in 20 of the past 232s wages have not -- 22 months, wages have not kept up with inflation? >> that is true. and just on an overall basis, they haven't kept pace with inflation, and that's taking the inflation number, liz, that's reported which we know is underreport based on the way they keep changing around the calculations. so this is not something that

people aren't aware of. we need to preserve tear fiscal foundation. elizabeth: got it. carol roth, we'll have you back on. have a good weekend. thanks for helping us out on this friday night. we've got this controversy, young activists is sued montana over climate change, and they won. but legal experts and economists, they're questioning whether this lawsuit even had merit. can and a new report, president biden is, quote, very obsessed with news coverage of the biden fam will hi's corruption probes and -- family's corruption probes, and go gop lawmakers are asking why did biden use fake e-mail accounts? if why did the biden use 20 shell companies to take in their cash flow from overseas? burying the cash flow? it's on "the evening edit" next. ♪ all night long, all night. ♪ all night long, all night. ♪ all night long ♪

elizabeth: well, look who's here, washington examiner investigate if i reporter sarah bedford. sarah, it's so great to have you on. we've got news coming in to the studio. cnn is reporting that president biden can is, quote, very obsessed with news coverage of the probes into biden family corruption allegations. but that white house aides are afraid and scared to even talk to him about it because he gets really mad, it derails the conversation. it's not even discussed in biden campaign strategy meetings. they just want the whole thing to go away, it seems, like that. what do you make of all that? >> well, you know, i think democrats in the media really want to focus on those more sympathy-inducing, the more personals aspects of the hunter biden story, his struggles with addiction, the loss the biden family has experienced over the past few years. that's all they really want to

talk about, and i think, you know, those types of leak ares are sort of designed to focus on the relatable part of this whole situation, right? that's not really relevant though to why republicans are interested in looking into this. it's not relevant to why voters are concerned. they a really just care about where hunter biden's foreign business dealingsings intersected with his father's foreign policy portfolio. and all of the personal elements of the fact this is an investigation involving the president's family and that can be hard for any father aren't really relevant to the questions that investors are asking, and it doesn't absolve the white house from an obligation to be transparent if about these things which they haven't been so far. elizabeth: so this is a story about joe biden, and that may be why he's obsessed with the coverage. the question is, if everything is so legit and aboveboard, why did then-biden use fake e-mail accounts? at least three of them? why did the biden family use 20 shell companies to take in millions of dollars from foreign business partners?

why use burner phones? >> there are a lot of questions about why the bidens did the things that they did. the shell companies, i think, are some of the most relevant questions. there's really very few legitimate reasons why you would structure a business the way that hunter biden and his brother, james biden, did while joe biden was vice president. they had more than 20 shell companies, and the vast majority were create after joe biden became vice president to funnel money that hunter biden often didn't even pay taxes on. he's not faced real consequences for that, and you'll notice that the white house and democrats have stopped really trying to defend hunter biden's work on the merits of what he was doing. you don't hear a lot of arguments anymore that hunter biden was uniquely qualified for this business work, that he had expertise. democrats in the white house have sort of quietly moved away from that argument because evidence has proven it fall. now they are just trying to point to hunter's personal

struggles and saying, welsh you know, whatever hunter biden did, that's wrong, i guess we can acknowledge that, joe biden wasn't involved. and even that is starting to be proven untrue by evidence. elizabeth:s let's watch former director of national intelligence, john ratcliffe. watch this. >> these are joe biden's documents, and one of the e-mails on the web site is literally titled e-mails between vice president joe biden and hunter biden regarding ukraine and burisma. i mean, that's not a smoking gun, that's a smoking gun and the bloody knife. i mean, that's really significant evidence that we shouldn't be just be finding about a right now, and i think it's a shame that it's jamie comer and house republicans that are doing the investigating. we now know that there's a confidential human source that said there were 10 million reasons why they would be talking about conversations with the ukrainian president and firing the burisma prosecutor, and the fact that joe biden is doing it under an ail a whereas

with -- ail alias with hunter biden who has no affiliation with the u.s. government, only raises questions. elizabeth: he was referring to senator chuck grassley releasing that unverified fbi informant document alleging joe biden took $5 million in bribe withs and hunter biden took $5 million in bribes. you know, when you look at these fake e-mail addresses, we've reported on this before, robert l. peters, robin ware, j.r.b. ware, that's what vice president biden was doing, using those fake e-mail addresses. have you ever seen a vice president doing this? because comer is saying the national archives, you've got to release his fake e-mail accounts and the e-mail traffic, because he could potentially have been using them to talk to hunter biden and hunter biden's business partners about overseas business deals that would have affected foreign policy urn the

obama white house and this white house. >> right. and i think one of the most interesting parts of that records request from comer to the national archives was a very specific request for every draft of a speech that joe biden gave in ukraine in december 2015. do they think that hunter biden ooh's business partners were involve in drafting that? it's unclear, but that was, i think, a really interesting line of inquiry. elizabeth: interesting. sarah bedford, it's good to have you on, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. elizabeth: okay, hawaii, the residents there, they're still in a world of hurt. they're really upset. they're continuing to say and we're hearing from them the biden white house response to the deadly wildfires in maui underwhelming, not good. and now southern california is in the bull's eye of a major tropical storm. also young activists sued montana over climate change and

elizabeth: okay, let's bring in the chairman of the energy commission, neil chatterjee. we need you on this story. what was your reaction when you hearder a judge in montana -- heard a judge in montana rule in favor of 16 young climate activists, they sue montana for violating their constitutional right to a healthy environment over montana's pro-fossil fuel policies? if what do you think of all this? >> well, first off, i know the climate activists are trying to act like it's a huge deal, but the reality is it's a very narrow case cans that isn't going to have much of an impact. the montana constitution had language that gives montanans the right to a clean environment and, therefore, the judge leaned

upon that in making what sounds to me like an ideological decision and not one based on the law. but the reality is you could bar all toes -- fossil fuels in montana tomorrow, and it would have no impact on global carbon emissions. what these kids should focus on is, look, i've got kids, i want them to have a healthy environment, a clean environment. there are smarter ways to do it. instead of litigation, they should focus on good pro-energy, american energy policies. elizabeth: yeah. because we do it cleaner than anywhere else. >> we do. elizabeth: our nat gas is clean. montana's emissions are a rounding error, it's like overall like 0.08%. it's like, nothing. and, you know, china is pumping out double the carbon emissions than the u.s., so what -- where's the protests against china? >> right. therein lies the conundrum in this whole thing. instead of trying to penalize

production in montana, what we agent ought to do is find ways that montanans can harness their natural energy resources in a cleaner way. focus on carbon capture and sequestration, enable montanans to export some of their naturally-produced resources to places around the world so they don't have to rely on the chinese communist party to meet their emissions-related goals. there's just way better ways to do this, and i wish these kids would understand that we all want with clean air, clean water, a clean climate. this is just the wrong way to go the about it. elizabeth: did you see this out of texas, the grid operator there, ercot the, they're asking residents, listen, you have got to cut back your electricity usage. you're going to be hit with rolling blackouts. why? texas is saying wind energy is not enough. they've got low reserves due to low wind energy. that's an issue.

the wind turbines are not producing enough energy. and if all those climate activists want to charge their electric cars, they're going to need oil and gas to fuel the electric power plants. now you've got california democrats, they're backing off, california democrats are saying we can't go fully green with our power grid. we face rolling blackouts. they just are extending the life of gas-powered power plants and they have yet to hut down that nuclear power plant that they've threatened to do. they're not doing that in california. >> i mean, to me, this is a great example of how we need all of the above energy. and we've not to just take politics out of this. here you've got texas, a conservative state, california, a liberal one. both of their grids are being pushed to the brink because they're trying to make political decisions about deploying certain technologies. instead, if we focused on all of the above, then both texas and california could get through these difficult weather

conditions without having to ask people to curtail number. because, look, curtailment may sound like an innocuous term, it's not. when you're forced to precool your house to 78 degrees when it's 102 outside, that's inhue main. that's not as do you want as curtailment. elizabeth: got it. neil, thanks for joining us. >> thank you verying if me. elizabeth: this hot story coming up, democrat howard dean, he's saying medicare and cms, you've got to cut it out with the road item blocks to breakthrough drugs for alzheimer's. plus, we've got the one and if only kennedy joining us. residents on hawaii, they're still really frustrated. they're saying where is the biden white house? what's with the underwhelming response to the deadly wildfires in and now, again, you've got southern california, this story, it's9 in the bull's eye of a major tropical storm. we've got to clerk in first with our friends dagen and sean is. i want to hear -- sean: hey, e-mac.

elizabeth: well, look who's here from kennedy saves the world, the he's of that podcast -- that podcast, kennedy, the one and only. >> good to see you, e-mac. do people call you that on camera? elizabeth: you're allowed to. sounds like an appliance. [laughter] president biden's headed to lake tahoe -- >> i'm sorry, lahaina tahoe? was that would be the appropriate place to go. elizabeth: he's going there next week. you were just in maui right before the wildfires -- >> yeah, we left three days before the fires began. it's a place that i love, it's are near and dear to my family. we go every year because it's such a special and incredible place. and when the president goes

somewhere where people are hurting, it makes them feel better. it makes them feel like, okay, all of the resources of the federal government are now trained on us, someone's got our back, we're safe or, we're gonna do this. but there's so many questions already about preparedness and response and cause and not having the leader of the free world go there and put his hand on people's shoulders and say it's going to be okay, we're going to figure this out, that that leaves an emptiness there that is so easy to fill. the only thing he's got, because he doesn't have any skills, he doesn't have any memory, he doesn't have any mental capacity, the only thing he's got supposedly is this world famous empathy which, you know, has not been on display from east palestine now to maui. elizabeth: is so he's saying i don't want to pull away resources if i go, but victims are saying, no, we want reporters and the media to focus on maui. when you show up, that's what will happen.

if you come, reporters will follow you, and they will report on what's going on. wen wanted you to listen to maui victims, right? listen to this one woman, and it's heartbreaking, what she has to say. listen to this. >> reporter: can you tell us about your hawaii trip, sir? >> no, not now. i'm going to be leaving, i'll be there on monday. >> my parents received a check for $700 which was a slap in the face. and i'm really, it's really affecting me because where is the president? he he decides to come here this week to come here next week. i mean, like, where -- aren't we americans too? like, we're part of the united states, but why are we not -- why are we getting put in the back pocket? why are are we being ignored? elizabeth: what do you think, kennedy? >> it's awful, and she speaks for so many people there. and, unfortunately, there are so

many children who lost their lyes in the blaze -- lives in the blaze. and, you know, her words are so incredibly pressing and she is, you know, she's exhibiting the emotion that everyone there is feeling. and they do feel abandoned because, you know, hawaii is very far away. it's part of america. it's a very special part of america, and you better believe everyone who lives there, they are going to rebuild. they will do whatever they can. anyone who has visited there, you know that they pour their heart and spirit into everything they do to make sure that you have the best time of your life. and now they are fighting for their lives, and they feel like the president is not fighting alongside them. elizabeth: why didn't he just have a canned statement in his back pocket saying we stand with the people of maui, we give them everything they want. instead it's no comment, and now you have got southern california in the bull's eye of a major tropical storm, warnings of flash flooding, and we have to stay on top of that story.

so we're now in the thick of it. we've got hurricane season and we've got a president who seem out of touch. >> yeah. so a hurricane and a wildfire, two very different things, but the response is the exact same. and it's incredibly heartless. i wouldn't be surprised if president biden goes right to los angeles. if he goes right to southern california because that's where all the donors are. and i guess there aren't enough rich hawaiians to sport his -- support his bid for re-election. elizabeth: whoa, kennedy. you have a good one. we've got dr. marty makary coming up, democrat howard dean is saying, medicare, cms, cut it out. your roadblocks to breakthrough drugs for alzheimer's, you've got to take them down. we're going to take on the debate next on "the evening edit." ♪ welcome to the hotel california. ♪ such a lovely place, such a lovely face ♪ you should watch your spending honey.

we really need doctor mario carey on this story. good to see you. one time president for candidate , he is saying medicare is putting up roadblocks to paying for and covering the cost of lifesaving breakthrough. getting coverage, seniors have to be enrolled and approved

clinical trials or doctors have to enroll their patients in a registry the government can access. is this true? >> making it look like he is throwing all of the hurdles in front of patients. they are simply asking people to be in a registry so that we can learn as to whether or not the drug really works. the first alzheimer's drug did not really work. the second drug did not really work in women. it has complications. about one quarter will have brain swelling. we've got to learn more about these drugs. i don't think we can assume that if the fda -- fda approves that at safe for everyone to take. >> dean is saying you only get paid the coverage for medicare if you are enrolled in the registry. this is pro forma stuff. there are some side effects with these drugs that they need to be

accounted for. right? >> we do not even know if it is worth it. i do not think we can save the fda is green lighting it. let's give it to everybody and not do more study. they used to do good postapproval surveillance. they used to track outcomes after the approval and report that. they stopped doing a lot of these commitments to look at safety after things are approved >> you are saying seniors should not be worried about that. it is going to have a chilling effect of r&d for generations. >> look, the fda has approved drugs that do not work historically. it is reasonable for cms to say we cannot be throwing a whole bank of drugs that don't have

evidence of working. >> blue shield of california, that is a nonprofit health insurer, they are telling pharmacy giant cvs they will not be working anymore with its caremark pharmacy management services. that is about 5 million members. what do you make of these? >> the ceo of blue shield of california is an american hero. cbs has been at ripping people off. businesses have been ripped off in the order of 30% of their entire drug spent. marking up the price of the drug i'm not talking about the cvs pharmacy, i'm talking about the cvs pbm. bundled with the health insurance plan sold to employers blue shield of california has said we will not partner with you anymore. you are taking people for a ride too many kickbacks in the industry. one drug where they were marking

it up tremendously. not allowing people to get the lower cost equivalency drug. good job to this country for standing up to this. >> you need to wait and the power and the influence of our pbm to get the drug prices down. final word. >> independent pharmacies across the country out of business. they will give the pharmacy $5 for a drug and then charge the employer 100. that should be banned. >> dr. marty makary thank you. thank you for watching. you're watching "the evening edit" on foxbusiness. a rock 'n' roll show for you next. coming up. >> thank you. ♪ >> great friday evening.
