5:01 pm
david: you've got it right on, larry. we'll deal with it later on. thank you very much, larry kudlow. hamas claiming responsibility for the rush hour horror that left three dead including a pregnant teacher and calls for a "escalation of resistance". isn't that a breach of the ceasefire with israel amazingly as larry said, the white house isn't sure. the newly revealed e-mail showing a bank investigator raising alarms about hunter biden receiving millions about a chinese linked business "without any services renders". as a latest survey finding confidence in a biden presidency hit a new low. mystery wave of pneumonia from china hit america. will we go overboard from mandates and shutdowns just before an election. i'm david asman in for elizabeth
5:02 pm
macdonald, "the evening edit" starts right now. former president trump out with a new op ed slamming president biden is new economic policies and trump highlighting a recent nbc poll where he leads president biden 46-42% among young voters age 18-34. some are now asking are young people waking up to what biden's failures are all about? with me now is forbes media chairman and editor in chief steve forbes. steve, great to see you. >> thank you. david: as you well know, you have to do so much fact checking when president biden comes out with his phony stats regarding jobs or inflation or how much of a deficit there is and i'm going to ask whether the same needs to be done and i'm going to read you a bit from donald trump's news week op ed, you aren't my leadership, under trump's leadership, annual incomes went up by more than $6,000 and inflation under 2% and we had gasoline down to $1.87 per
5:03 pm
gallon, household net worth reaching all time high with a bottom 50% of american households seeing a 40% increase in their net worth. do we have to fact check that? >> no, it is factual, which makes it suspect in the certain far left circles. that's why they go parading around and never had it so good. you don't have it good and that's your fault not ours. in terms of incomes, lower 40% of income earners had higher raises than the rest of the labor forces and people who are starting out and trying to get up the ladder, begin to move up the ladder, they were doing well under trump. and unemployment went way down and real unemployment went way down and not the government stimulus kind and cotton candy kind, and investment was going up, market was doing well, things were good and mortgage
5:04 pm
was under 8%. david: yeah, incredible. now, the bottom line is that americans now have a sense of insecurity. of course it's not just financial insecurity. they have insecurity about walking the street without a criminal bopping them on the head and about what's happening around the world with iran and et cetera. americans need an extra $11,400 to cover the basics and general sense of insecurity that americans have and whichever candidate can hook onto that wins the election, don't you? >> yes, people fear the future. they can put up with the conditions today if they felt things would really get better. right policies being pursued, and one of the amazing things is none of the republican candidates have really put out a compelling message the way ronald reagan did in 1980, 30% cut income tax rates, massive rebuilding of military, deregulations starting with
5:05 pm
energy and people responded. even though he was considered by the democrats the easiest candidate to beat. he had something to say and the voters liked it. david: yet very quickly, you look at stock market and it's up 500 points today on the dow and that had to do with a lot of individual dow stocks, but why are investors not more afraid now? >> i think more importantly they see 2024 will make a real change. and one of the th things is joe biden will not be the democratic nominee in 2024. just a matter of how they're going to usher him out, he's not going to want to go out. between what his family enterprise, leave it at that and involving his son and economy not doing well and bidenomics becoming a word of deer hunting rigs and not affirmation. david: whoever takes over will be better than bind, period? >> it would be hard to go below
5:06 pm
that bar. david: steve forbes, great to see you. >> thank you, david. david: turning to house panel holding a hearing on social media censorship claims. house judiciary sent out subpoenas to two white house aids on this, watch. >> documents we obtain from facebook so that the company felt threatened by the white house directly and changed its behavior for fear of retribution. just this morning, we released information showing the same thing happened with youtube. we have more information forthcoming, it's impossible to get a full accounting of the government censorship efforts and the government involved will not participate with the constitutional duty to do oversight. david: jim jordan noticed shocking uncovered e-mails show white house attempts to censor free speech. gooding showing biden administration trying to cent correspondent americans for matters relating to "vaccine misinformation".
5:07 pm
our hillary vaughn has the fox business exclusive from capitol hill. hillary. reporter: good evening, david. internal e-mails between google, youtube employees and biden white house officials that we obtain showed even youtube was not safe from the white house pressure campaign to push platforms to help control the covid vaccine narrative. efforts went beyond trying to prevent fake information from spreading but if it was anti-vax at all, they wanted to take it down period. in one e-mail we obtained biden's director of digital strategy asked youtube about a post claiming algorithm pushing anti-vax comment e-mailing this "i think we have a pretty extensive back and forth about the degree to which you all are recommending anti-vax nation content. you're pretty el emphatic you're not and seems to indicate you are. what's going on? this is examples of sanity vax content". it was senator rand paul from a senate hearing talking about covid vaccines and a vaccine debate with rfk jr..
5:08 pm
in another e-mail the youtube employee warned the white house might blame the drop in demand on covid shots on big tech companies e-mailing, the role of tech in vaccine hesitancy under a massive spotlight particularly as supply of the vaccine soon set to outpace demand. youtube responding to the story and spokesperson telling us "while we receive input from governments around the world, we apply the policies independently, transparency and consistently regardless of the speaker or political views expressed". we reached out to the white house for comment and we've not heard back from them. david. david: wow, interesting stuff. hillary vaughn, thank you very much. if that wasn't bad enough, it could be worse. canada still considered a western democracy has slowly but surely been turning up the dial of government censorship. with me now is canadian journalist for the free press rupa. good to see you. thank you for being hear.
5:09 pm
rupa testified on the dangers of censorship and aauthoritarianism that she says already occur in canada. you said in your introductory remarks, i'd like you all to think of me as a time traveler from the not too distant future. what's happening in canada could happen here, how? >> well, it's already happening in the u.s. to some extent, but it's not merely as bad as how things are in canada. for example, americans are being de-banked as we speak right now there are people who have been de-banked for doing humanitarian work in e uganda for example. these are generally people on the conservative side of the political spectrum. it is happening in the u.s.. my point was to show americans, to plead with americans. if america goes down the authoritarian root of countries like canada or ireland for that matter, we're going to lose the
5:10 pm
last and brightest beacon and hope for free speech in the world. that's not going to be good for the world. that was the whole point in my testimony. for americans to realize what is happening in the rest of the world and protect free speech, protect the first amendment, and stand up for western liberal values. david: what you've seen over the past year is a pushback against what we saw during the lockdowns when there was so much misinformation from the government side and censorship from the government side to try and keep the truth from coming out. was that a success of our first amendment and has that saved us from what's happened in canada? >> no, censorship is never a good idea and that was so much misinformation and the misinformation came from the state and the reason why there was misinformation from the state is because the state suppressed dissenting voices and
5:11 pm
people that question the lockdowns and the restrictions and vaccine mandate or even for that matter, the efficiency of vaccines and all of that was suppressed and as a result of the censorship, there was a lot of misinformation and ironically enough, much of that was coming from the state and from public health officials. david: it's funny, at the same time a lot of democrat politicians are calling for cent correspondentship or have been -- c censorship or have be, they're pushing stuff that's untrue. dan goldman came out with a comment concerning something that we know was debunked. i just want to play that sound byte and get your reaction. roll tape. >> you've talked about the hunter biden laptop and how the fbi knew it existed. you are aware of course that the laptop so-to-speak was actually -- that was published in the new york post was a hard drive that the new york post admitted here was not
5:12 pm
authenticated as real. it was not the laptop the fbi had, you're aware of that; right? >> it was the same contents. >> how do you know? >> because -- >> you'd have to authenticate it to know it was the same contents. you have no idea. you know hard drive cans be manipulated. >> are you suggesting that the new york post participated in a conspiracy on the laptop? >> no, they can be manipulated by rudy giuliani or russia. >> what's the actual evidence? >> there's no evidence but the point is -- david: rupa, even what dan goldman said was nonsense, i'm not for c censoring what he sai. he's free to say what he wants and that's the beauty of free market of ideas; right? >> absolutely. 100%. the best antidote to -- i don't want to say misinformation or bad information or false information is better
5:13 pm
information. the hallmark of those civilized societies, of a liberal society is the free and open exchange of ideas. and if we don't have that, we're only going to -- we're going to have opinions that are unduly influenced by actors not necessarily political and, you know, who have an agenda, and that's not good for a liberal democracy and that's the whole -- the whole point is to have a robust discussion and the u.s. and i want to repeat this. unlike any place on the planet, the u.s. has the most robust protection for free speech anywhere in the world. and in the first amendment and it would be a shame for that to go away, and i hope that doesn't happen. david: all right, rupa, we thank you so much for testifying in front of congress and then for testifying in front of us. we appreciate it. best of luck to you. >> thank you so much. david: joining me now is
5:14 pm
congressman darryl issa. he's a senior member opportunistic the house select subcommittee and weaponization of government and was in the hearing. congressman, thank you for being here. there is good news in all of this and that is that at least one social media company has been taken over by somebody that doesn't give a damn about what the censors want to do to his site and that of course is elon musk, who spoke yesterday and was quite clear that even though there's some advertisers that are pulling stuff from him under false pretense because of what media matters was saying, he doesn't give a damn. let me roll that tape and get your reaction. roll it. >> as a public perception that was part of a apology tour, if you will. this had been said online, there was all the criticism, advertisers leaving. we talked about -- >> don't advertise. >> you don't want them to advertise? >> no. >> what do you mean? >> if somebody's going to
5:15 pm
blackmail me with advertising and blackmail me with money, go [bleep] yourself. >> but -- >> go [bleep] yourself. is that clear? i hope it is. hey, bob. if you're in the audience. david: final hey bob was for bob iger from disney that pulled his advertising from the site. isn't it wonderful that had the free market to rescue us from government censors? >> it is. but there isn't enough of it and social media and for that matter, big media all over is still playing the censorship game as we speak. as we heard in testimony today, governments are getting involved even more so because beyond the censorship you're seeing, you're also seeing in some cases people's actual bank accounts being freezed up, people -- the
5:16 pm
type of business you do. we have a lot of liberty problems we have to restore. that's one of the things republicans are working on and in fact thank goodness we can tweet out what we believe with a high likelihood that an audience will be free to hear it. david: then a site will be free to print it as well. i just want to quickly switch because i know you're in a rush, i want to switch to the second motion now to impeach our dhs secretary mayorkas. you were opposed to the first motion to do so. now that the second motion is out, was maybe more possible to pass in the senate. are you going to vote for it? >> well, i believe that marjory taylor-green pull it had and i don't believe it's currently being offered. however, however, what i had said was that a privileged resolution coming in minutes without people's time to analyze it and without the committee's opportunity to review it was a mistake. i had said very clearly though ultimately we have to send a message to the president that
5:17 pm
its his impeachment for his conduct that's coming. if this is the first step, i'll participate in it. david: congressman darryll issa, always appreciate your time. we have francey hicks and florida governor ron desantis debating california's gavin newsom on fox tonight. who's got a better track record as governor? plus hamas claiming responsibility for attack on a bus stop in jerusalem today killing three and all that's next on "the evening edit". ♪ it's easy to get lost in investment research. introducing j.p. morgan personal advisors.

states and pro palestinian protests erupted in midtown new york city at christmas tree lighting last night. committee chairman mark green. chairman, thank you for being here. hamas claimed responsibility for this and it killed three citizens, one of whom was a pregnant woman. they're actually bragging about it. isn't that a breach of this ceasefire or pause in the fighting? >> yards in aggie, absolutely. that is -- yeah, absolutely. that is a breach in the ceasefire, no doubt about it. hamas -- look, israel has one choice and that's total destruction of hamas. david: but john kirby was equivocating about it when asked about it at the white house briefing today. let my play that sound byte and get your reaction. >> what impact did the shooting from hamas in jerusalem had on humanitarian causes and turning them into a more permanent
5:23 pm
ceasefire and overall trend line the u.s. is going for? >> i don't know and no. i don't think there's been -- i don't think there's been any effect, not that i've heard or seen affect on the deal by the violence in jerusalem. i've seen nothing that indicates an affect on that. david: congressman, he says i don't know. shouldn't he know if that's a breach of the ceasefire or pause as he calls it? >> absolutely he should know. even the president himself equivocated the other day. they're fighting against their own party because their party is the woke media movement and their voters are the ones protesting at the christmas tree. those people aren't republicans, i can tell you that. so they're caught between a rock and a hard place on this one and the right place is to be with israel and to destroy, you know, support israel's destruction of
5:24 pm
hamas. david: where do you think this is going to lead? do you think the president will completely abandoned israel's move to rid itself of hamas as a neighbor? >> no, he's not going to do that but he's going to continue to soft pedal on this because he thinks he has to cover his hard base. the problem is that elmore boldens our enemy. elmemboldens iran and hamas and hezbollah. it's a terrible place to be but unfortunately that's what he's chosen. david: the other people emboldened are the protesters and i call them protesters. there must be another word. some of these protests are getting violent. they're making absolutely outrageous claims. of course the first amendment, they're free to make the claims, but that israel killed its own citizens on october 7. i'm just wondering, the american people, i think, have just about had it with these folks. they know that a lot of the rhetoric is bs, they're for wiping out israel, that they are
5:25 pm
the ones for the genocide of jews in the middle east. i don't think that the american people are going to take it. this is a bigger drag for the president being linked to these protesters in any way than his support of israel is a drag for him with the democrat friends. >> that's a very fair assessment but correct the record on that self-mutilation issue. it was a palestinian, not an israeli that self-mutilated and then basically made up a story that the israelis had done this. it's hamas that is evil and needs to be destroyed. david: chairman mark green, thank you so much for coming in, sir. appreciate you being here. >> thanks, david. have a good night. david: all right, you too. the great debate, it's the night we've all been waiting for. ron desantis versus gavin newsom 9:00 p.m. here on fox news on eastern time. desantis versus newsom, florida

>> rivalry between two of the nation's governors heating up on the fox news debate and great red state squaring off with the great blue state and desantis for the 2024 and governor newsom run ago shadow campaign for the democrat nomination. we're not sure how that will turn out and who will come out on top tonight. joining me is the hill political reporter julia manchester. thank you for being here. let me talk about what happens after tonight. do you think it'll have any effect on either the republican
5:31 pm
or the democrat campaign for nomination? >> it could have the most immediate fact on the republican nomination and there's another republican primary debate next week and i would say that governor desantis goes into tonight with the upper hand against governor newsom. you know, he's going into definitely a more conservative space, a space where he can definitely tout that -- tout his own economic record against governor newsom's and he's definitely going to try to make that contrast known. next week it's going to be a bit more difficult because he's heading on to the stage with other republicans. we know that it's been a bit of a difficult week for the desantis campaign as we've seen nnikki haley climbing in the polls and governor newsom, this introduce him to a new audience
5:32 pm
and potentially more voters that could be interested in him. he's someone that certainly is looking to build his name id ahead of maybe a potential presidential run. david: it's two people as opposed to half a dozen. as you say, he'll have more time. but the great thing about our republic is each state is like a petri dish for the republic and the american people can tell which ones work and can which don't. we have it with desantis and newsom. they're the perfect example of big state versus small state. the top tax rate in california is 13.3%. it's 0 in florida. you can't get any lower than that. unemployment is double in california what it is in florida. the budget in california they have a $31.5 billion short fall. in florida they have a $17.5 billion surplus.
5:33 pm
median income is more in california, 91,500 a year, 69,300 in florida. but you have to pay for so much more for everything including gas. gas prices $4.87 a gallon in california and $3.16 a gallon in florida and $4.86 in california. looks like florida wins. >> i think you're going to see governor desantis touting those figures and his record during covid in florida's recovery from the coronavirus pandemic versus california's recovery. that definitely you saw governor newsom more so shut down california and take a route that a number of other democratic governors took, but you saw him face his own critics. there was that french laundry scandal and went out to upscale restaurant while the rest of the state was under more of a lockdown restriction so that could potentially be brought up. one area where i think newsom will try to go on the attack against governor desantis is on
5:34 pm
cultural issues and issues regarding lgbtq people. i think this is an area where newsom has consistently attacked ron desantis and it's an area that really gets the left very excited, and i think we can expect desantis for some of the criticisms. david: desantis focusing on the economic issues and left the others but he didn't do it for some reason. julia manchester, great to see you and thank you for being here. appreciate it. we'll be watching. newly revealed e-mails showing a bank investigator warning about "unusual and erratic activity in hunter biden's act". did some of that money go directly to president biden? that's next on "the evening edit". >> because it is something concerning based on the fact that the money is coming from china. this bank investigator are writing to the bank executive saying we may want to reevaluate our relationship with this client because of the fact that he is this high profile person and the funds come from china.
5:39 pm
accident in questioner so president biden skipping the united nation's cop28 climate in oil and natural gas rich dubai. think he might be realizing folks are adding up the cost and realizing they're getting the short end of the stick from the green energy program? joining me from house energy committee is congresswoman kat cammack. thank you for being here. i think americans are looking at what they've got on so far for all the 1.7 trillion for green
5:40 pm
energy spending and they're realizing they're spending more and getting a lot less so it doesn't make any sense. do you think biden -- somebody in the white house realizes this and are backing them off of this a bit. >> no, tone deaf is what's happening up in the white house and going up in costs and goods and services and utility bills and americans have never been behind on their utility bills more than they have right now. of course we're coming into the height of winter where those costs are going through the roof. it's really discouraging at a time when americans are hurting and things are getting more and more expensive, they're continuing to focus on the so-called green climate agenda, which if you just look at numbers, it'll cost us $7.7 trillion, trillion dollars in loss of gdp by 2040. that's about $83,000 per family over that span of time.
5:41 pm
that's ridiculous. not to mention the $30 billion boondoggle that aoc and biden will push in the propaganda arm called the civilian climate core, which is nothing but a mouthpiece for the biden administration. david: and to your first point how it's affecting individual americans bills every month, overall energy prices up 39.7% a month since president biden took over and just electricity alone is up 24.7% in the same time and yesterday to your point about his timing, he was in colorado bragging about how there were going to be 850 new jobs in windmill energy production, but forgetting the fact that 12,500 people from colorado have lost their jobs in oil and gas because of his war on fossil fuels. so they're still in the lurch about 12,000 jobs. >> yeah, exactly. they just had a terrible jobs report, david. i mean, everything is working against the biden administration right now and really, it is
5:42 pm
their fault. they've put themselves in this position. not to mention the fact they've regulated the oil and gas industry essentially into oblivion. it is so, so difficult for domestic producers to do anything because that administration has tied their hands behind their back, let us not forget that our strategic petroleum reserve is at lowest levels ever, which is a national security risk and instead of talking about ways we can bolster production here in the united states, which we can do it cleaner, more efficiently, and provide jobs, he wants to get our energy from countries and sometimes adversaries abroad, who have no regard for the environment, it's dirty energy, and costing us more and more as time goes on. it's really a shame. david: absolutely. our gulf oil, the oil we get from the gulf he wants to cut off entirely cleans -- is more clean than -- clean burning than any oil in the world. very quickly, the united nations, it's not just the biden administration we have to fight on this, the united nations
5:43 pm
wants to shut down the entire natural gas industry in the united states just in time as you mentioned for us to freeze in the winter, go broke because we couldn't afford all the electrical heating that would mean. is -- why are we still paying money to the united nation when they're actually calling for our demise as a nation? >> it baffles my mind why we're still continuing to fund the very organization that puts us last and that puts all of our nations who contribute so much in terrible situations. let us not forget that india and china are massive polluters and don't abide by any regulations put forward by the un and it's again, just another example of the double standard because every single one of those individuals representing the un and those nations will show up in private jets and they'll tell us that we have to cut back. david: of course. just like president bide obama, they'll turn up their thermostat
5:44 pm
to 85 in the winter and not worry about it. congresswoman, thank you for being here. there's a mysterious respiratory illness infecting children throughout china and the world health organization attempting to squash fears comparing to the common cold and seeps to have spread to a second united states state. plus, we have former federal prosecutor francey hakes on a bank investigator warning about "unusual erratic activity in hunter biden's act. but first, let's check in with our friends day and sean coming up in the next hour. >> ladies and gentlemen, boys and girl, there's no cage fight tonight, but it is going to be a debate. left versus right. liberal versus conservative and desantis and newsom on hannity. brian mast on the show, florida congressman to break that all down as well as seth dillen from the babylon b talking about elon musk's colorful language criticizing advertisers leaving twitter. >> doesn't he just talk like all of us?

david: a bank investigator responsible for detecting and combating money laundering worned in 2018 of "unusual and erratic activity related to more than a dozen wire transfers of large sums of money to accounts belonging to hunter biden". joining us now is former federal prosecutor francey hakes 6789 for more on this, thank you for being here. it's so clear that this is more than just an influence peddling business that they had. this was a money laundering business to hide who was getting the money and where it was coming from; correct? >> well, you're right about that, david, i mean, all you have to do is look at all the different l.l.c.,s and all the different bank accounts, and it's clear it's money laundering. this bank official is trained, bank officials get special training like hotel operators
5:50 pm
and airline operators, they get special training to look for things like criminal activity like money laundering, like human trafficking. this bank official saw what she thought was clear activity that indicated possible money laundering by the bidens. david: you know, back in the day when matt hat tan had a not -- manhattan had a nonpolitical district attorney and i'm sure you and all other prosecutors love that really the topnotch prosecutor of all times and he cut down whole banks like bcci and destroyed them for money laundering. isn't this case easier to prove than the money laundering case was against bcci? >> well, it is, david, especially now. you've got money trails that are completely digital, and you have hunter -- laptop with a ton of evidence in it so it's much easier for prosecutors to prove this kind of case. i should say for prosecutors
