in. let's welcome you to "the evening edit," i'm elizabeth macdonald. >> i why do five of my kids have allergies? why are we seeing these explosions in diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, neurological diseases, depressioning? all of these things that are related to toxic -- toxins in the environment. why can't we just agree with each other to put differences about so many issues, intractable issues aside and say we're going to end this? i'm not here because i want a position or a job. i have a very good life and a happy family. this is the something i don't need. i want to do this because we're going the fix it and all these democrats are opposed to me because of partisan issue, they used to be my friends, agreed with me on all the environmental issues i've been working on for my whole career. now they're against me because anything president trump does, any if decision he makes has to

be lampooned, derided, discredited, par ginnallized, vilified -- marginalized. elizabeth: hhs nominee rfk jr. doing his level best to get senate democrats to see the u.s. health care system is broken. a ton of money spent, people still getting sicker. but they again made it a crazy free for if all. rfk jr. had to say, listen, you only oppose me because you, senate democrats, you have stage iv anti-trump derangement syndrome. senator roger marshall joining us in moments, and dr. peter mccullough also here to the keeping the u.s. food supply and people sick and keeping people even longer on medicaid. those costs keep going up and up. plus we've got this story tonight -- >> not expect any service that the government is required to provide. >> meals on wheels is currently

in the dark. >> that is a public benefit program. there's zero impact on public benefit programs, full stop, affected. no individual assistance programs are affected. it's there in black and white. elizabeth: i don't know why they couldn't get the picture there. that was stephen miller repeatedly trying to stop the media falsely reporting on what president trump is doing, freezing federal spending. we dig into why the media a purposefully pushed false information. we're going to show you the president speaking out. it is not hitting med quaid or welfare programs. coming up -- medicaid or welfare programs. ben ferguson is here to take that on. and we've got this story -- >> we ended up seizing numerous rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition. this investigation has been linked to the sinaloa cartel. elizabeth: okay. the shocking news, we dig into it. criminals from a major mexican sinaloa drug cartel gang arrested outside denver. we've got more breaking news, president trump no illegal aliens will be housed at

a guantanamo bay for deportations. plus, we'll take you inside a deportation flight of illegal aliens out of the u.s. we've got more on that in a bit. but first, this story -- >> it doesn't matter what you come here and say that isn't true. it's ooh important for the games that this you're playing, mr. kennedy. >> i gotta tell you -- >> senator, can i reply -- >> senator, mr. kennedy, i've got questions. >> exactly when did you with decide to sell out your life's work and values to get this positionsome? >> that's not the question. you and i -- >> you're asking me -- senator, you're asking me not to the say vaccine -- >> no, i am not! >> yeah, you are. that's exactly what you're doing. >> you supportive of these onesies? >> i'm supportive of vaccines. >> are you supportive of this clothing which is militantly anti-vaccine? >> i am supportive of vaccines -- elizabeth: all right, it just got so crazy. bernie sanders talking about

onesies? that's what happened at the senate confirmation hearing today for trump's hhs nominee, rfk jr. we give a warm welcome to physician and senator from senate health, senator roger marshall. senator, do you think rfk jr. gets confirm confirmed? it was a crazy day. they went after him after vaccines, he does support vaccines. >> i do think he gets confirmed, but we've got some work to do. the democrats were like a pack of coyotes that were howling at the moon, but they weren't biting at all. they were focused on one and and only one issue, vaccines, and bobby clearly said that he supports vaccines. that's the only issue heavy got. -- they've got. the focus of hhs should be the make america healthy again, and i feel bobby kennedy's uniquely situated to do just that. i can't wait to get to work with him. elizabeth: but they picked old fights, and he couldn't get his message through. he's not to opposed to vaccines.

they're picking old fights about a fluoride and water, wi-fi causing cancer. he's trying the move the health system forward, right? is that what you tried to hear -- or heard, rather? >> absolutely. i think if you listen to bobby enough, he'll talk about radical transparency. he just wants parents to know the pros and cons, the risk and benefit of a particular vaccine. should we take all 60 vaccines at the same time or not. but we know he's focused on making america healthy again. think about this, if you would consider obesity, diabetes and heart disease, that composes 80% of the health problems in this nation. the democrats never talked one time about those issues. elizabeth: wow. >> those are the issues that are impacting america's health. those are the important issues to to americans. 20% of our youth are on a prescription drug. how come? let's try to work on the positive piece of that which is nutrition and decreasing, toxin exposure. that's what's important. elizabeth: he also a went after a democrat senators, the anti-trump stage iv derangement

system. listen the rfk jr. fighting with senator elizabeth warren. watch this. >> when i launched my campaign, it was about uniting americans, democrats, republicans. there's no issue that should unite us more than the chronic health epidemic. there's no such thing as republican children or democratic children. these are our kids. they used to be my friends, agreed with me on all the environmental issues i've been working on for my whole career. now that garry menace because anything president trump does, any decision he makes has to be to lampooned, derided, discredited, marginalized, vilified. >> yes. i want to mow if you will -- know if you will commit not only will you not go to work for drug companies, you won't go to work suing the drug companies and taking your rake out of that while you're secretary and for four years after. it's just -- >> i'll commit to not taking any fees from drug companies while

i'm secretary. >> no -- i'm asking about fees from suing drug companies. will you agree not to do that? >> you're asking me to not sue drug companies -- >> no -- >> senator, you're asking me not to sue vaccine -- >> no, i am not! my -- >> yeah, you are. that's exactly what you're doing. elizabeth: senator marshall, what happened there? what was going on? >> well, that's a great question. those are theatrics, a person that wants to get on cnn tonight. that's what that amounts to. instead of focusing on what are bobby kennedy's goals as hhs secretary, that's what i want to focus on, and the democrats were not willing to listen to. they may disagree with him on who to or three issues, but sure they they agree the mental health if of children is an epidemic type of problem right now. maybe 30-40% of youth have type ii diabetes or are obese. i don't think it's productive. certainly, the best thing i can

explain is trump derangement syndrome. that's got to be it. elizabeth: all right. senator marshall, you're terrific. good to see you. listen to this -- >> thanks, liz. >> americans' overall health is in greaves condition. over 70% of -- grievous condition. over a third of children are overweight or obese. diabetes is ten times more prevalent than it was during the can 1960s. cancer among young people are is rising by 1-2% a year. autoimmune diseases, neurodevelopmental disorders, alzheimer's, asthma, ad can hd -- adhd, depression, addiction and a he's of other physical and mental health conditions are all on the rise, some of them exponentialingly. the united states has worse health tan any other developed nation. elizabeth: okay. that's what rfk jr. wanted to drill home. he's saying the u.s. government has done nothing the fix the

u.s. food supply making people sick because it's compromise by big food suppliers and big pharma. joining us now, dr. peter mccullough. doctor, what did you make of the government conflicts of interest here? america's toxic food supply filled with chemicals, bad ultra-processed food? can you help break this down for us? >> yeah. the senate hearing chamber was filled with rfk supporters, and they wanted to hear about these issues. and you see he was attacked by the left, the senators on the left, who were really trying to create their own sound bite in order to satisfy their lobbyists including big food and big pharma. so there's a tremendous opportunity to improve the health of the u.s. food supply. what kennedy said, sincerely, is that he is there to carry out president trump's mission if to improve -- mission to the improve the health of americans. and part of that is going to be a very detailed and radically

transparent evaluation of the quality of the food that americans eat. elizabeth: i mean, we're seeing something like 10 million if people, more people on medicaid since before the pandemic. rfk jr., he also blew the lid off the government keeping the u.s. food supply, keeping them on welfare, medicaid longer and longer causing costs to go up and up. >> these are the points that we want to hear about. you know, this is the next generation are. ask many -- and we must take steps now. nationwide programs to reduce the rates of overweight and obesity, diabetes, these chronic diseases. we need an all hands on deck approach to this dramatic rise in autism in children. 1 in 10,000 when you and i were children, now it's 1 in 36. the cdc says it's the biggest problem in childhood, and the official word is the cause is unknown. well, it's time in the next few years to find that cause.

elizabeth: yeah. it could be be with their eating. who knows? dig into it. what did you hear biden's hhs secretary, xavier becerra, do about any of this? we didn't hear or see him do much of anything. >> the last two, alex she czar and xavier becerra rah were simply administrators. they did nothing. they showed no interest whatsoever in the health of hurricane -- america, and how hhs is going to take a dramatic turn. and, boy, doctors and patients and the public in general are behind him. elizabeth: c. peter mccullough are, always wonderful to have you on. thank you for joining us tonight. it's great to see you. >> thank you. >> people who enter the united states without our permission if are illegal aliens -- >> and the challenge we have of undocumented people in our country. we certainly don't want any more coming in. >> undocumented workers broke our immigration laws, and i believe that they must be held accountable. elizabeth: you know, what happened to democrats? they used to be for keeping

america safe. now they're engaging in this obnoxious hypocrisy. coming up, the breaking news, trump's dragnet caught dangerous mexican sinaloa drug cartel criminals just outside denver. plus the latest news this hour, president trump, he's ramping up deportations. he's going to move the house violent criminal illegals at guantanamo bay. we'll dig into that, and we'll take you with exclusively inside a deportation flight to ecuador. also tonight the will kash patel and tulsi gabbard, are they going to get confirmed? what's going to happen with their confirmation hearings as fbi director and dni chris bedford is taking on whatting expect from those senate democrats at the hearings tomorrow. also president trump or, he's now taking only the public teachers' unions. now the president is about to do school choice for parents and children. plus, we've bot the shocking amount of -- got the shocking amount of money former president biden spent to push dei in public schools as student the

test scores plunge again. townhall.com political editor, he's guy benson, he's fired up and ready go. but first, this story -- >> assistance that is going directly to individuals will not be impacted by in this pause. if you're receiving individual assistance from the if federal government, you will continue to receive that. again, not for individual assistance. >> -- meals on wheels or head start or disaster aid? >> again, it does not affect individual -- >> meals on wheels. >> i have now been asked and answered this question four times. elizabeth: that was press secretary karoline leavitt repeatedly having to say president trump is not freezing spending on medicaid or medicare, social security. he's not doing that to wheels on wheels, even more. we dig into why lawmakers now to accuse the media of purposefully misleading america about trump again. president trump had to set the record straight again today. we're going to show you the sound. podcast host ben ferguson is

a federal judge temporarily blocked that until a court hearing monday, but the trump white house says it will continue to stop egregious government waste with. and now the white house is slamming the media's coverage of this saying they botched it. we're is delighted to welcome back fox news senior white house correspondent jacqui heinrich. she's always beating the nation breaking stories. she's live at the white house to clear up this one. what's going on? >> reporter: thank you, liz. yeah, the president declined to take any questions on this as he signed the laken riley act into law. it was an emotional moment with her parents there in the room. but white house officials are telling us that the freeze on funds will remain in effect even though they rescinded that memo from the if office of management and budget talking about it. they say that an injunction that was put in place by a federal judge over that memo effectively blocked communications between agency heads and omb, so that's why they took it back. but they're still moving forward

with plans to block any funding that's at odds with the president's executive orders on foreign aid, american energy, ending dei and immigration. >> we are merely looking at parts of big bureaucracy where there has been tremendous waste and fraud and abuse. and that process we identified and stopped $50 million being sent to gaza a to buy condoms for hamas. $50 million. [laughter] and you know what's happened to them? they've used them as a method of making bombs. how about that? >> reporter: now, any funding it is a legally required to go out will continue to go out, but there might be a protracted legal battle as some congressional democrats say that it impacts some funds that were passed into law by congress, and they might also be in the crosshairs. agency heads are still ordered to identify any funds that are at odds with the president's executive orders, stop down

payment if on those and request exemptions if necessary. but there was a lot of credit schism this white house faced -- criticism for not ordering a are review before the freeze was put into effect which caused a lot of the confusion within these agencies about what was and was not impacted. it actually caused the white house to put out a sum elemental memo answering frequently asked questions about what was and was not impacted by the order. so now those communications can continue in a more streamlined way after they took back that omb memo -- elizabeth: well, you are earning your overtime paychecks on this one. it's good to see you again. thanks for straightening that out. >> reporter: thanks, liz. >> the short-term pause or funding freeze on certain discretionary spending payments such as government grants only for us to quickly look at the scams, dishonesty, waste and abuse that's taken place in our

government for too long. as was explicitly stated, this in no way affected social security, medicare, medicaid or other entitlements that americans depend on. restating right now, to correct any confusion that the media has purposely and somehow for whatever reason created, social security, medicare, medicaid have not been affected by any action we're taking in any way, shape or form. we are merely looking at parts of the big bureaucracy where there has been tremendous waste and fraud and abuse. elizabeth: okay. president trump calling out the media's botched coverage here. joining us now, host of the ben ferguson podcast, he's ben ferguson. ben, what was so hard about this? why do you think the media was is so confused over this? >> i lost my earpiece here, give me a second. elizabeth: okay, i'll give you a second. that's okay. so as ben is going to get plugged in here, the president was just taking the media to task for misreporting the

programs are not affected by trump's spending freeze. we're showing it, ped care, medicaid, s.n.a.p. benefits meals on wheels, social security and more. so, ben, head start, student loans, you see the list. why did the media misreport this? if why did the they get it so wrong? what was so hard to the understand? >> yeah. look, i think this is a very clear point where this media is going to do everything they can to undermine donald trump, even if he has a clear mandate from the american people. the american people have made it clear they want to get rid of the waves, fraud and abuse in our government. and so the easiest way to do that so the fear monger. and if you put out a statement saying, well, this is going to mean social security checks don't show up and food stamps are going to stop and people are going to go hungry and they're going to suffer and medicare and medicaid, they're not going to get their prescription drugs, you have people that understandably would lose their minds over that because something that they need for their security, for their life, for their kids to eat, for

prescription drugs that can be life-saving prescription drugs, all of those things are kind of the third rail. you don't touch them. so the easiest way to attack donald trump is to lie to the american people and to tell them that donald trump did something even though they know he didn't do it x. i do love the fact that this president came out, had another moment with the press and made it very clear, all of these programs are safe. i'm not touching them temperature and, fine, we'll push back for a second, rescind this, but we're not going to stop the mission. we're going the stop having your tax dollars go to abuse and democratic pork barrel projects all over the world that the american people shouldn't have to pay for. it is really sick the media scared this many people on these programs just to try to win a political war with donald trump. elizabeth: yeah. the hatred of trump is really just deforming the national conversation. >> yeah, it's is sick -- elizabeth: it's a real sickness out there. so, you know, when we saw the numbers, we looked into it and dug in, the federal government

since 2020 the has sent $5 billion out the door to dead people. okay? >> yeah. elizabeth: so now you've got the white house is saying to federal workers, you've got to show up. if you don't stop working from your homes, if you want to stay at home, you can resign with eight months' pay if you don't want to to come back to the government office. you know, it's hard to find a buyout of eight months in the private sector. >> yeah. elizabeth e. elizabeth: let's please get your reaction from press secretary leavitt and steven miller pushing back against the media on all of this. >> social security benefits, medicare benefits, food stamps, welfare benefits, assistance that is going directly to individuals will not be impacted by in this pause. i have now been asked and answered this question four times. to individuals at home who receive direct assistance from the if federal government, you will not be impacted by this federal freeze. >> is this pause going to affect medicaid? >> it does not affect any service that the government is required to provide.

it does the not affect any entitlement, it does not affect if any service to citizens, does the not affect any individual benefit, any public assistance program of anything of that nature. i'm telling you, as the memo said if black and white letters, no financial benefit programs to americans are affected. no individual assistance programs are affected. it's there in black and white. i can't help it if left-wing media outlets published a fake news story that caused confusion. breath beth okay, is so there's that, right, ben? >> yeah. elizabeth: you know,, let me back up. the big story the media's not covering is that government got even bigger. 3 million workers, 9 out of 10 work at least one day, two days a week if home. but u.s. federal workers now are plotting to sabotage frump's ban on working from home -- trump's ban on working from home. they're going to do more time off. they'll be using more paid leave, that's what we're hearing. >> yeah. >> so this is really the trump

white house tackling the swamp and the swamp -- >> yeah. this is a, this is a grown-up white house that expects adults to act like adults and show up for work. and if you don't want to show up for work, then take your eight months and enjoy your life. the private sector, by the way, would never offer this. and so there are two real things here. jake tapper over at cnn needs to grow up and be an adult and stop scaring his audience and old people to score points, and and people that are in our gontu need the grow up and show up for a job just like i do and every other american does in the private sector every day. and if you're lazy, then be lazy and sit at home, but don't make me pay for you to sit at home on your couch in your pjs while you you don't go into an office and do your work. either go to work and work for the taxpayers, or take this buyout because we don't need you. elizabeth: ben ferguson knows how to wrap it and wrap it well. now listen to this. >> we ended up seizing numerous

rifles, thousands of rounds of ammunition. this investigation has been linked to the sinaloa car tell. cartel. elizabeth: deportations full speed ahead. that was a dea a agent saying they just arrested three mexican sinaloa drug cartel criminals in denver, outside den denver. they were just living here fly under joe biden. the latest numbers on what trump is doing in just a week's time. where was biden? why didn't he do any of this? also more breaking news, president trump now says violent criminal illegal aliens will be housed at guantanamo bay for deportations. and next up we're going to take you exclusively inside a deportation flight out of el paso, texas, to ecuador. plus, this -- >> he said he would secure our borders and that he would never forget about a laken. he's a man of his word. we trust that he will fight for

aliens to south america. let's take you now to fox news' brooke taylor standing by live of in el paso, texas, with the story. brooke, good to see you. >> reporter: yeah, good to see you too. we got footage and access to this the latest removal flight here in el paso to ecuador. these are illegal my if grants who were already in border patrol custody. so they were captured either crossing the border illegally or during smuggling operations. how does it work? are they handcuffed, these migrants? fox news gets exclusive access into a c-17 military plane if taking more than 80 illegal migrants in el paso back to ecuador where they're from. >> not today, not tomorrow, not next week, do not come to the united states and enter illegally. >> reporter: president trump delivering on his promises to use military resources to secure the southern border. your response to this narrative that these illegal migrants are coming from these neighborhood

if sweeps and these law-abiding citizens. >> it's against the law to be in the united states illegally. under title viii. >> reporter: well expedited removals aren't new, using military aircraft is. this is the second large plane the air force has. border patrol says the message is if you come into the united states illegally, you will be sent back to your home country. border patrol says these c-17s are a huge asset to quickly get illegal migrants back to their home countries. >> we're sending the message that if it takes you 30, 60 or 900 days in some cases to come to the united states, to illegally enter, once you're found amenable to removal under title viii, we can is have you back in your home country within 7 hours. >> reporter: and under this operation the pen gone has said that their goal is to help the mill gaer -- military deport more than 5,000 illegal migrants already in border patrol custody

here in the el paso sector and also in the san diego sector. elizabeth: great journalism, brooke taylor, thank you so much. now listen to this concern -- this concern. >> people who somewhere the united states without our permission are illegal aill yens, and they should not be treated the same as people who entered the u.s. legally. illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple. until the american people are convinced that we will stop future flows of illegal immigration, we will make no progress on dealing with the millions of illegal immigrants who are here now. >> we need to address the issue of immigration and the challenge we have of undocumented people in our country. we certainly don't want any more coming n. >> undocumented workers broke our immigration laws, and i believe that they must be held accountable. especially those who may be dangerous. but even as we focus on deporting criminals, the fact is millions of immigrants in every state of every race and

nationality still live here illegally. elizabeth: okay. that was a flashback of democrats chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, former president obama, saying no to illegal aliens, saying stop coming, you don't belong here. president trump is doing what democrats demanded and wanted. he just dropped unprecedented illegal crossings that exploded under biden now down to less than 600 a day from from a huge 10,000 a day, even 11,000 a day. waves of criminals, terrorists, murderers crossing, murdering and assaulting americans. joining us now, seattle talk radio host jason rantz. jason, great to have you back on. what do you make of the democrats going radio silence on this? what changed? they were all for stopping illegal aliens. president trump just did this in just one week. >> yeah. i think what we have here -- and, by the way, i would argue that maybe some of the left-wing media could bring that up and maybe ask them directly why

they've changed. the reality is they've changed because the democrat party has been taken over by the progressive wing. and those folks believe in open borders. they view everyone who's coming across this country illegally, they view them as to prosed and marginalized -- oppressed and marginalized communities, and it's for them to the play hero. they're hurting this country. i just wish democrats in leadership positions would step up and be reasonable on this. we should not be crying over the fact that a child rapist is getting picked up and then deported. that's good for us all. elizabeth: you know, in europe, for example, if you cross illegally between turkey and greece, they shoot you. there are thousands of miles of fencing and border walls and barriers all throughout europe. there's thousands of miles of fencing and barriers outside, all throughout africa and south america and those countries they're boeing back to, it's against the law. they enforce -- going back to

to, it's against the law. president trump is doing what other nations around the world are doing, and now he's got to send 30,000 violent criminal illegal aliens to guantanamo bay. listen to this, jason. watch. >> today i'm also signing an executive order to instruct the departments of defense and homeland security to begin preparing the 30,000-person migrant facility at guantanamo bay. most people don't even know about it. we have 30,000 beds in guantanamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the american people. some of them are is bad, we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going the send them out to guantanamo. elizabeth: jason, what do you make of what many border patrol officials have told us, thats the immoral and evil for democrats to to treat americans assaulted as rounding errors, as mere statistics? 650,000 criminal illegal aliens over the last 40 years, more

than 2,000 terrorists, people with terror links caught crossing, and america's supposed the sit back and take this and go along with it and get beaten up by it? is that okay? >> it's not okay, and i hope every single person is paying attention to the way that they are speaking of all of us and all of the victims and the families who are left to pick up the pieces of this violence. it's absolutely disgusting. elizabeth: jason rantz, come back sooning, it's good the see you. now listen this -- >> thank you. >> -- are you supportive of these onesies? >> i'm supportive of vaccines. >> are you supportive of these -- this clothing -- [laughter] which is militantly anti-vaccine? >> i am supportive of vaccines. >> exactly when did you decide to sell out your life's work and values to get this position? >> senator, you're asking me not to sue pharmaceutical companies -- >> no, i am not. >> yeah, you are. that's exactly what you're doing. elizabeth: it got crazy, didn't it? senate democrats going after rfk jr. today.

elizabeth: welcome back. term we've got trump's fbi director nominee carve patel and dni nominee tulsi gabbard, they're going to be in the hot seat. let's get the update from david spunt joining us live from d.c. >> reporter: thanks for having me. starting with kash patel, both sides of the aisle agree he's a controversial nominee who's coming into an fbi that is no

stranger to controversy over the past eight years, and we expect fireworks. patel's an attorney who once worked at the justice department as a terrorism prosecutor. he was later at the department of defense under acting secretary chris miller. he also worked at the national security council and before that, the house committee that investigated the 2016 russia probe. and he began his career as a public defender. republicans believe he'll bring a fresh perspective to the fbi, an agency that has a had trouble distancing itself from controversial since the 2016 presidential campaign. when president trump announced patel as his fbi nominee, this following clip was played on many news outlets, and this is patel just about four months ago. watch. >> i'd shut down the fbi hoover building on day one and reopen it the next day as a museum of the deep state. >> reporter: also tomorrow the confirmation hearing for tulsi gab a ard the become director of national intelligence. she, too, a controversial nominee that that may take

incoming from both sides is. gabbard will face questions about her visit to syria to meet with the former leader there, also her stance on section 7022. she was once against the warrantless wiretapping of foreign nationals to collect intelligence information, excuse me there. but now apparently is in favor. we'll see how she answers that that and other questions tomorrow. both hearings are going to be going on at the same time. it's going to be a busy day. elizabeth: you too deserve overtime paychecks, david spunt. it's good to see you. joining us now, political columnist chris bedford. what do you think's going to happen tomorrow with these hearings, chris? >> i think of the two hearings, republicans have the most momentum with kash patel. he has no dies to the democratic party unlike tulsi gabbard and rfk, and he is about a as maga as they come to exactly what you were just talking about. but republicans are generally in line with trying to look at what's going on in the fbi. the difficulty they're going to face is the pardons that donald trump passed, blanket pardons for january 6ers.

he's going to have to answer that. he's going the to have to talk about enforcing the law against people who have attacked police, something that makes republican senators in particular very uncomfortable. if he can answer those well, and he's got the experience to do so, he'll do well. elizabeth: what about tulsi? >> >> tulsi gabbard's another thing entirely. the republicans are mainly her enemies because she's yesterday the wireless wiretapping, she's pushed against that. she's going to have to try and satiate those hawks and particularly, senator collins who could block her on her own. elizabeth: chris bedford, great analysis, good to see you. next up, a new controversy. you won't believe the amount. biden has spent a billion bucks to push d everything i in public schools. student test scores have again plummeted. china is eating our runs. townhall.com editor guy benson is here to react, taking it on next. please stay right there.

teachers nationwide blasting it as a major waste. guy bentio benson what is your take, test scores dropped 36% in reading and 18% in math on average. >> it is disgraceful, it has been an on i on going failure for years, i think that sludge that you mentioned. the d.e.i. and critical race theory and stuff has no place in schools, especially while kids' performance is deteriorating, a lot goes back to covid, school closures and terrible decisions made by adults in both of the categories, what horrible values, horrible priorities, it is well pastime to turn it around, starting with school choice. elizabeth: a big huge moral

vanity project biden spent more than a billion bucks pushing d.e.i. in schools, people don't understand how poisonous this is. >> it is just pitting children against one another based on skin color, and other characteristics and creating this grievance ladder, if you can climb or fall down, it is toxic. it is really i think dilatorious to children and replace actual learning with that garbage and nonsense is a huge disservice. between the covid decisions, and what you just referenced they are choices that were made by adults by people in charge, they were bad choices they searched our kids very poorly, you have to start rebuilding public schools but giving people choices about where to send their children if their public schools government-run schools are

failing, in far too many cases they are, there needs to be an escape hatch, that is why school choice is such a critical v civil rights issues. there will bemoaned interests -- special interested against and move forward sanity, including deep pocket teachers unions, they cycle our tax dollars in a way that benefits them, and in a way, in my opinion hurts kids, you need people willing to have the fight. elizabeth: we love the smarts and conviction of guy benson thank you, read his information, thank you for watching "the evening edit" and welcoming us to your homes, dvr us, dagen and jason are here with a hot show, take it away you guys. dagen; thats emac. elizabeth: you got
