liz: thank you so much we've got news coming in welcome to the "evening edit" i'm elizabeth macdonald. >> somebody slap me and wake me up because i'm ready to get on with it. >> if you could speak directly to elon musk what would you say? >> [bleep] >> elon musk and his hackers, they don't know. >> to think that elon musk and donald trump give a [bleep] about our public schools. >> it's total [bleep] liz: okay democrats loudly attacking and swearing about president trump and elon musk, but did you notice they are so very hypocrite quiet and silent about president trump and elon musk and they are about to pull off a historic feet a spacex rocket, the nasa astronauts standed under joe biden. fox news jonathan serri will give us an update. live on the ground from kennedy space center in florida.

also, larry elder is here to take on that democrat hypocrisy, plus, president trump, he's ripping off the biden ban dade of four years of joe biden propping up the u.s. economy with your money, with government overspending. trump is trying to replace it with real actual powerful growth. this is what the media is not telling you and we've got this news for you. >> we cannot keep our promises. we simply must make the cuts in waste, fraud and abuse in medicare. >> you can't just get up there and say we don't want to cut anything out of medicare. cut the bad stuff and keep the good stuff. liz: you hear that? democrats nancy pelosi and chuck schumer really did want to cut government waste and fraud out of things like medicare, social security, just like elon musk, just like president trump, just like doge. we found the sound that they do not want you to see. republican senator roger marshall is here to take it on, also how trump is doing major

government reform to unleash america prosperity. plus, this story. >> that was the president's mandate is directed to me. clearly, it is to shutdown the department of education which we know will have to work with congress to get that accomplished. liz: we dig into this big one. education secretary linda mcmahon, she's letting go half of the education department staff, but, we've got the information democrats will not tell you, on how bad it really got under this department, as the teacher's unions and democrats instead try to attack president trump. senator markwayne mullin is here to take it on but first this. this story is about to break in just over two hours. a rocket ship from elon musk spacex will launch to rescue those two nasa astronauts stranded for the last nine months in outer space. they are on the international space station. let's take you right now to fox news senior correspondent

jonathan serri standing by live from the kennedy space center in florida. jonathan? there's a lot of anticipation and excitement over this rescue mission. reporter: yeah, there is a lot of excitement here. the rocket, a spacex falcon 9 with a dragon spacecraft perched atop it are on the launch pad behind me, launch pad 39-a at kennedy space center in florida. the rocket is poised to deliver a crew of four fresh crew members to the international space station and that will allow starliner pilots butch willmore and sunny williams to return aboard a separate spacex capsule that launched to the iss in september. at that time carrying two crew members and two empty seats. ahead of her departure from the space station, sunny williams handed over command of the space station to a russian colleague. >> i promise you, we are actively trying to find the passage back to the place we

were before. reporter: who knew she be quoting hotel california when this mission started back in june. it all started as an eight-day flight test of boeing's new starliner spacecraft. it developed intermittent thruster problems on the way up to the space station. boeing determined the issue could be managed safely for the return flight but nasa decided not to risk it and brought starliner home autonomously in early september, and reassigned the test pilots to a full mission aboard the space station. the timing has become political, with president trump calling on spacex ceo elon musk to expedite butch and sunny's return and the president also blaming the biden administration for their extended stay in space. nasa officials say they had already planned, were already planning an expedited return to get ahead of a busy launch schedule in april, swapping a new spacex capsule, delayed in production, for an older model, will allow crew 10 to launch

today instead of late march. >> but the president's interests sure added energy to the conversation and it's great to have a president whose interested in what we're doing. reporter: crew 10 will attempt to launch this evening at 7:48 eastern time, and if it does it will dock with the space station tomorrow morning and then after a brief handover period, butch, sunny and the rest of crew 9 will board their spacex dragon and undock from the space station on sunday. liz? liz: we'll be watching jonathan serrie, thank you so much. now please listen to this. >> you know, we have great inflation numbers by the way. just got released. inflation is way down and it's basically what we've done and we've done it in a very short period of time. financially we'll be stronger than ever before. i think the markets are going to sore when they see what's happening. they don't have our farm products, we have the greatest farmers in the world. they don't accept our farm

products and we accept there's, so you know, things are going to change unless they do what they have to do and they know what they have to do. this is not going to be a tough battle. in my opinion. liz: that was president trump, with the details on what he's doing. inflation did drop for the first time in four months. more than expected for february to a 2.8%. here is what could happen. fed rate cuts, that will turbo charge the economy. plus president trump says it won't be a tough battle to reset the tariff table. he's fighting to create millions of u.s. manufacturing jobs. those are high paying jobs. we had 30,000 manufacturing jobs already created. there are 30,000 manufacturing job openings. we've got now nearly $2 trillion in new investments under trump. let's welcome former presidential candidate the founder of the elder for america pack one and only larry elder. always wonderful to see you and get your insights. what do you make of the terror fight? there's a lot attacking what president trump is trying to do.

>> well the tariff, liz, just part of donald trump's overall game plan, and i know the markets are concerned about tariffs and most economists oppose tariffs but if you look at his overall game plan which includes extending the trump tax cuts, doge, deregulation, you look at everything he's doing and i think overall donald trump is right that in the long run, it's going to be much better off for americans. i think we got to calm down, give him the benefit of the doubt. he's earned it and we know tax cuts work and the regulations work because he did it in the first term and gave us a wonderful economy with very little inflation. liz: the other thing too is epa chief lee zeldin just broke the news late in the day. the breaking news is this , mr. elder, larry, that he is going to rollback and get rid of 31 biden era climate change, environmental regulations. he's trying to unleash. he's saying trillions of dollars in regulatory costs and hidden taxes he's going to wipe out lowering costs for american families. what do you think?

>> well i agree. the climate is always changing. what president biden said is that it's the number one threat to the planet. are you kidding? it is not. and all the money we're spending for climate change in my opinion could be rechanneled for other things. we need to drill, baby drill, as donald trump said he wants to do and stop trying to force us from a fossil fuels-based economy to renewable ones which is more expensive and will hurt the very people that the democrats claim to care about, poor people. liz: what do you make of this story? we've got reports coming in that the trump administration aids and officials are upset with commerce secretary howard lutnick, they are frustrated over his economic messaging and tariff messaging. politico is reporting and we're hearing other reports he could take the fall for what's going on with the tariff messaging. what do you make of that? >> well, you know, i don't really get too much into the entry and there is always going to be that and supposedly he's gotten ahead of his skiis

and donald trump is warning there may be short-term pain and he is not saying there's going to be short-term pain at all and supposedly that's annoying donald trump. we know donald trump, liz. if he's unhappy with somebody that person will soon be gone. liz: all right, larry elder, thank you for your smart brain as always, larry elder we love you. be sure to catch epa administrator lee zeldin tomorrow with maria at 6:00 a.m. eastern time on fox business. we'll talk about what we just broke to you, the details about rolling back dozens of biden era regulations on the environment. everybody is against pollution, of course. this is about something else that went next level. you won't want to miss it. now to this. >> that was the president's mandate was directed to me. clearly, it is to shut down the department of education which we know we'll have to work with congress to get that accomplished. we're not tacking away education. the president never said that. he's taking the bureaucracy out of education so more money flows

to the states. better education is closest to the kids with parents, with local superintendents, with local school boards. i think we'll see our scores go up with our students when we can educate them with parental input as well. liz: that was it, right? that's education secretary linda mcmahon to the news that the education department is laying off half its workers there in d.c. it's about 2,200 workers we're hearing. there's a big fact though missing in the coverage. senator joni ernst has already reported the education department is one of many federal headquarters in d.c. mostly empty, by nearly 85%. you could literally shoot an arrow or throw a bowling ball down its hallways and not hit anybody. why? because the senator says the education department employees refuse to come into the office they choose to telework. joining us from senate education markwayne mullin. senator, can you please tell us

break this down in what's going on at the education department because the teacher's union and democrats are really angry with what's happening. what do you think? >> what they are doing is they're defining the definition of doing the same thing expecting different result right? a 1979 when we started the department of education we were number one in the world in education. today, we rank 34th. if this is a business, they would have shut down a long time ago. along the way, they spent over a trillion dollars trying to improve themselves putting thousands of people to work and all they have done is require teachers to teach to pass a test which are federal requirements? they required the student council that's there to comply with all these rules coming from washington d.c. that have to be student-led. the school board there no longer can actually run their school. they try to keep away from lawsuits that could be handed down from the department of education and what the president trump and secretary mcmahon wants to do is put the schools

back in charge of teaching their kids. why would the teacher-student union be upset about teachers being able to do their job without little large government looking over their shoulders constantly. liz: it's interesting what you said, senator. the bureaucracy in the education department. we saw data that the education department help center didn't pick up the phone and answer 4 million calls from the students. >> that's right. liz: yet they received 1.5 trillion in federal student loans and got 190 billion bucks, you know, basically during the pandemic but then we see school administrators, school bureaucrats, you know, the number of them, about 700% where the number of teachers that, that number grew less than half of that. >> right, and at the same time, we have our education failing our students. now these teachers that are part of this teacher's union which i don't think necessarily represents the classroom. they represent their union,

which is a problem within itself, but at the same time, we seen our students education suffer along the way. what is wrong with trying something different? and what we need to do is look at what was working prior to 1979. we put it in the teacher's hands and in the local government. we allowed the people in oklahoma and stillwell, oklahoma or tulsa to decide what was best for their students and let the people in new york decide what was best for their students, and it was successful. liz: yeah, i mean, we fought world war i, and world war ii without an education department. senator markwayne mullin we appreciate you so very much, sir for joining us. thank you. >> liz thanks for having me on. liz: now please listen to this. >> president trump turns the white house into a tesla showroom. >> that's one way to stabilize an oligarch's business empire. donald trump did something illegal today. liz: would you please stop it? stop it with the oligarch talk.

there are a lot of oligarchs if you want to call them that funding democrats, please. we're staying on this one. you heard the hyperventilating about teslas in front of the white house. hyperventilating about elon musk and doge but again, they are oddly silent as elon musk and president trump try to save the nasa astronauts stranded in outer space under joe biden. they hate teslas but not spacex? that rocket launch is about to happen in florida. ford o'connell is going to take on that hypocrisy. also tonight, this. this blatant hypocrisy that liberals slam and protest the arrest and expected deportation of a pro-hamas activist. none of them are concerned or talking about how hamas murdered and attacked israelis and kidnapped and hold hostage americans. we've got an update on the pro-hamas activist appearance in court today. radio host jason rantz is here to react plus education secretary linda mcmahon not the only trump cabinet member taking action.

hhs secretary rfk jr. pushing to make america healthy again. we're going to talk about how he's shutting a massive fda loophole biden ignored making americans sick. dr. peter mc cullough will take it on but first this >> i'm going to vote what came over from the house republicans to the senate last night because i don't want to give my vote to support what trump and musk are doing. i do think there's real risks to a government shutdown. liz: okay that was democrat senator chris coons today saying he's all in on a government shutdown. democrats used to pretend it was a cardinal sin and wrong to do that but now it's okay that trump is in charge? republican senator roger marshall is here to react and how wrong footed the democrats are for america and trump is trying to fix america. that's coming up next. please stick with us. we'll be back in two. >> republicans need to stop playing politics with our

government shutdown. >> thanks to republicans, we're less than 48 hours away from a christmas shutdown. >> it'll be their fault that americans don't get disaster relief. that americans don't get their social security checks. >> i want us to take a moment to at least appreciate the fact that we've been able to stop another republican shutdown. where ya headed? susan: where am i headed? am i just gonna take what the markets gives me? no. i can do some research. ya know, that's backed by j.p. morgan's leading strategists like us. when you want to invest with more confidence... the answer is j.p. morgan wealth management

shutdown is calling gop's cr worse than a federal shutdown. >> not like a regular cr, so it would give trump a lot of discretionary as to what to do with the money. >> fair to say using the cr passing is worse than a government shutdown? >> this particular bill? >> yeah. >> yeah, i do. i do. >> the hypocrisy goes beyond funding, elizabeth. senate majority leader john thune pointing out senate democrats used the pill it buster to block multiple bills despite calls to abolish it so now we wait and see how senate democrats will vote on this short-term government funding bill. the senate will take it out sometime this week. liz: aishah hasnie always terrific reporting. thank you so much. now, please listen to this. >> we cannot keep our promises. we simply must make the cuts and waste, fraud, and abuse in medicare so that the benefits and the premiums are untouched.

we owe it to our seniors. we owe it to our country. >> when i hear my friend dave camp say you can not cut money out of medicare, well, we don't want to cut the good stuff that you point out, or prevent, the prevention but if one-third, if what senator culburn says one-third of medicare doesn't go to patient care, you can't just get up there and say, we don't want to cut anything out of medicare. we want to cut the bad stuff and keep the good stuff. liz: more hypocrisy from democrats that was senator chuck schumer former speaker nancy pelosi saying you've got to cut "the waste, fraud and abuse in the government and things like medicare so why are they fighting elon musk? why are they fighting president trump? let's get to a very smart senator, whose going to help us solve this mystery, joining us now from senate budget he's kansas senator roger marshall. always a pleasure, wonderful to see you again. what's going on with this hypocrisy? >> well liz it's great to be with you again.

i'll just start oint by pointing out to your listeners that last year medicare issued about $100 billion of improper payments. look, president trump, i'm up here republicans are here to save medicare. we want it to deliver great healthcare but we don't want money to be wasted. maybe we could take some of that money we'll save and help more with their prescription drugs, but the hypocrisy is as you pointed out once upon a time the democrats wanted to go through this waste, fraud and abuse but the republicans are actually the ones doing it. liz: i mean the inspector general for social security found 72 billion in improper payments from fiscal years 2015 to fiscal 2022 and then it exploded under joe biden. we saw a number half a trillion dollars in improper payments that went out the door under joe biden, so that means higher taxes for everybody to pay for that waste, right? >> yeah, and i think that number actually approached a trillion dollars when it's all said and done, a trillion dollars of improper payments, but this adds to the size of our deficit. look we're spending 2 trillion

more than we're taking in. if we could find half of that through waste, fraud and abuse and then maybe go on a little bit of a spending diet, maybe we'll work back towards that balanced budget which will help bring interest rates down for americans. liz: i gotta tell you something. we listen to ray dalio, big hedge fund titan, big guy on wall street. he's saying he's warning so are other wall street pros like mary meeker the u.s. treasury market faces a crack-up. that there's basically like a car crash inside that bond market if we could put it that way where the treasury markets worldwide are having trouble digesting the flood of u.s. government overspending that democrats don't seem to grasp, don't seem to understand, that when that happens, yields could, the federal reserve could lose control of rates and we're not being, you know, paranoid crazy here but these are the scenarios being played out on wall street. the fed loosens control of the bond yield, those bond

yields start gyrating around, and then the dollar gets devalued. that's an issue that ray dalio and wall street pros are warning that democrats have been totally deaf to. what do you think? >> yes, so we're approaching that cliff. we don't know when it's going to get there but we won't let that happen. right now we'll turn this ship around and get rid of the fraud, waste and abuse and work towards the balanced budget tomorrow. we're sitting with president trump to figure out how we'll do it. liz: thank you senator marshall pleasure to see you again. thank you for joining us now please listen to this. >> these are kidnapping, accusations of anti-semitism have been weaponized. >> your administration is of white supremacist billionaires. elon musk is a white supremacist. >> [applause] >> all of those people in the trump administration are anti-semites. >> it's only going to escalate for the next several years. deport me. liz: okay, far left radicals

extremists speaking out about i.c.e. arresting a pro-hamas activist. none of them speaking out about how americans are still held by hamas. they are held hostage. the activists that are against trump, you know, are basically saying don't deport that activist whose pro-hamas. hamas slaughtered israelis and attacked them. they aren't protesting about that. radio host jason rantz here to react. also tonight hhs secretary rfk making a major move to make america healthy again. he's trying to shut a big fda loophole that biden ignored that's making americans sick. he's trying to shut it down. dr. peter mccullough will explain it but first this. >> donald trump did something illegal today. donald trump used federal property to do a tv commercial. donald trump stood with elon musk in the white house driveway, with some teslas in front of them, and donald trump

pretended to buy a tesla. liz: hysteria. hysteria. flat out hysteria. not talking about how liberals are vandalizing tesla dealerships and going after musk for all sorts of things. elon is now racing to save nasa astronauts stranded under biden. where is the fearmongering about that? ford o'connell will take utility on next. please stick with us we'll be right back after the break. >> somebody slap me and wake me the [bleep "up because i'm ready to get on with it. >> if you could speak directly to elon musk what would you say? >> [bleep] [air blower sound] ♪

let's get you updated when elon musk says is the biggest democrat scam of all. he says it's one of the biggest sources of fraud in the u.s. government. the one and only hillary vaughn is joining us now live on capitol hill with the story on this one. hillary what's going on? reporter: good evening liz. when you think non-governmental organizations you think charity but elon musk says he sees fraud. he told fox business that the majority of fraud is being funneled through these ngo's and the money is not being spent to do good. a lot is a scam with no oversight of how taxpayer money is being spent. under biden's term taxpayer cash spent on non-profits topped $128 billion spread out over 70,000 non-profits. the department of government efficiency has honed in on these non-profits as easy ways to slash billions in government fraud and abuse. republicans on capitol hill say because of doge's work, taxpayer money is being saved. >> the trump white house, the administration, will send to

congress a budget that requests to spend less money. why? because we're going to be able to incorporate all of the savings that doge has uncovered and fining. finally the stars aligned so we could do that better. it's going to be great for the american people and more efficient effective government that uses their precious resources, their taxes, in a more responsible way. reporter: but democrats continue to take issue with elon musk's approach to cutting out fraud and waste, from the federal government. >> the approach of elon musk and others of oh, we're just going to take a broad swath of cuts and then we'll see what works, we'll see what doesn't work, and then we'll fix the things that does not work. you can't do that. when you're dealing with people's homes and with food, dealing with people's livelihoods. reporter: there is a bipartisan push on capitol hill to expose how taxpayer cash is being spent. a proposal from senator joni ernst and gary peters would shed light on how the government is sending money out the door particularly on agreements that fall outside traditional government contracts, known

as other transaction agreements. senator ernst saying bureaucrats have been playing hide and seek with taxpayer dollars for far too long and ending the games and stopping the secret spending and the american will be able to see how washington spends their money so we can identify and cut waste so just like doge has been posting all of the savings that they are finding online, lawmakers want the u.s. government to do the same with every dollar that they are spending, of taxpayer cash. liz? liz: hillary vaughn great reporting thank you so much for that update. now please listen to this. >> president trump turns the white house into a tesla showroom. >> that's one way to try to stabilize an oligarchs business empire. >> donald trump did something illegal today. donald trump used federal property to do a tv commercial. liz: what? >> selling a product from the white house? you are in so much trouble for this. those days are behind us, aren't they? liz: let's out law all

washington post newspapers because jeff bezos owns it. got to out law it at the white house, right? so, that's the mediacom plaining about spending major airtime attacking president trump for having a tesla at the white house. okay. they are silent. not saying anything about elon musk, president, and spacex. tonight they are trying to rescue two two astronauts strad at the international space station for nine months since last june under biden. for more let's welcome back to the show gop strategist ford o'connell. seems like they are too busy promoting protests back on earth at tesla dealerships and talking about that. what do you think here, ford? >> fearmongering and list erics is all the democrats have. look donald trump has never been more popular in the doge policies that donald trump and elon musk are putting forward are for the most popular vote. 83% of americans want to see us moved tokers a balanced budget and nearly 70% of americans believe this level of debt is

unsustainable. what elon musk and trump are doing is exactly what they said they would do and the american public is with them. liz: it's like they are just looking for anything to be triggered, right? any little thing to get triggered and not looking at the big picture. even democrat ro khanna says democrats should condemn the destruction and vandalism with the anti-musk protest now spreading, to tesla dealerships in large cities like new york, boston, san francisco, tucson, arizona, charlotte. we've seen the protests videos coming in. musk is saying doge has saved taxpayer over 100 billion bucks. he wants to find a trillion and cut it from the budget, ford. there are media questions about the receipts for that, but this is a problem. we're accelerating beyond 36 trillion in debt and wall street pros are warning about a bond market crack-up. >> yeah, look. i think that's absolutely right and i tip my hat to ro khanna, somebody who i don't normally agree with. elon musk is the richest man on

earth. he doesn't need to do any of this and this that the democrats have done in terms of protesting tesla is turned into violence and trespassing and property damage et cetera. well guess what? tesla lost 53% of its value, the stock since december 2024. elon is putting america first. the democrats aren't. liz: let's get back to the stranded astronauts at spacex, president trump and elon musk are trying to rescue tonight. just before 8:00 that launch will happen. listen to elon musk talk to joe rogan about those astronauts stranded under biden. watch this. >> we offered to bring them back early but it was rejected by the biden administration. >> why? >> for political reasons. >> that's so crazy. >> there's no way they are going to make anyone look good. they push the return date past the inauguration date. >> wow. liz: what do you think, ford? >> this is outrageous. there was a chance to bring these astronauts home and the biden administration didn't do it. they were on eight day junk-it

and have been there nearly nine months. this is an embarrassment to the biden administration and boeing which was a spacecraft that malfunctioned. liz: ford o'connell thank you so much now please listen to this. >> thank you, liz. >> i happen to believe that if foreign students want t come here and learn and maybe stay and become americans i'm happy to have it but i'm not happy to pay for them to come here to hate on america and i'm not happy to have universities support that while at the same time taking american taxpayer dollars. i hate the smell of hypocrisy in the morning. liz: that was republican senator john kennedy telling laura ingraham not a single taxpayer dollar should be going to people in our country who hiatus, who hate america. the pro hamas protests is in court today next radio host jason rantz will react to the details also coming up this. >> i happen to believe that if

foreign students want to come here and learn and maybe stay and assimilate and become americans i'm happy to have it but i'm not happy to pay for them to come here, to hate on america and i'm not happy to have universities support that while at the same time, taking american taxpayer dollars. i hate the smell of hypocrisy in the morning. liz: we love senator john kennedy so much we wanted to show it again. really the story we want to talk about we'll report to you, rfk jr. is moving to shut a loophole that lets the fda let in chemicals into our food. it's making americans sick. why did joe biden and democrats ignore this for so long? how bad is it for you? dr. peter mccullough is here with the answers but first let's check in with dagen and david webb to see what they have coming up next hour on the bottom line. dagen: hey e-mac well the professional panic and politics and their brethren in

the media would have you saying that president trump's ideas and his push to make this economy great is just coming apart at the seems. oh, hell no it's not. inflation is easing. gas prices are lower, and senator marsha blackburn is here to tell us all about it. >> and if you are trying to go to work at the department of education, you might have a shocker. the building was under lockdown earlier today and they've cut half the workforce, or almost half of it. senator tommy tuberville weighing in on that. marc siegel keeps me healthy. he's my doctor. he wants to make america healthy again and in texas they want to do their part at the state level. way to go, texas. dagen: top of the hour.

with everyone in their area. oooh. you know, it's kinda like when you bring a really big cake for your birthday, and then there's only a little, tiny sliver left for the birthday girl. aw. well, wish her a happy birthday. happy birthday... -it's... ...to her. -no, it's me. have your cake and eat it, too. don't settle for t-mobile or verizon 5g home internet. get super fast xfinity internet you don't have to share. forty's going to be my year. >> mr. khalil is not an american citizen, he's here with a green card and at columbia he's shown he supports hamas. that's a violation of the immigration and naturalization act, which says you can be deported if you support a terrorist organization. here is the bottom line. mr. khalil hates america, as you said, in your monologue. you know, if you're not happy where you are, move.

you're not a tree. secretary rubio will help you move. we may lose in district court depending on the judge that we get but we'll win this in the supreme court. liz: that was senator john kennedy spelling out it is against federal law to support terrorists. it's about students protesting the arrest and potential deportation of the pro-hamas leader of the protest at columbia university. let's welcome seattle radio host jason rantz. your reaction to this? so they are protesting him being arrested and possibly deported but they aren't protesting americans held hostage by hamas overseas or the brutal slaughter murder and assault of israelis? >> yeah, because they don't care about them. they care singularly about their demonization of israel, these are folks who absolutely loathe jews. i'm sorry to say, as a natural jew, who has to experience the anti-semitism as a direct result of their activism.

i have no sympathy for someone who might be rooting for hamas and anyone who roots for hamas i don't care what their position is when it comes to foreign policy from any administration. if you're rooting for a terrorist organization, if you're an anti-semite, in this country as someone foreign-born there are going to be consequences and i'm grateful for the trump administration to step up and actually send this message. liz: they want the eradication of western civilization. let's move on to this. they are coming in here causing unrest. americans don't like it. they don't want it. we've seen the polling on this. let's get your take on this. senator tom cotton with a new legislation. he wants to tax woken do youments at the 11 top ivy league schools, many had these anti-semetic protests and cancel student loans for criminal protesters to pay down the u.s. debt and secure the border. jason look at this. they're sitting on more than $280 billion combined

in endowments with a cop to b. texas representative chip roy wants to go after thiessen do do pay off student gets so americans are getting tuition gouged by these universities that allow these pro-hamas protests in on while sitting on endowments bigger than hedge funds and tuition gouging american families. can you take this on? >> this is a little bit trickier to me in the sense we're talking about in some cases private schools and ultimately that's up to the potential student. if they are comfortable with this , then they kg ahead and get gouged and a sub-par education where they are sitting in classes that have propaganda that are covering these woke topics. they have that right to do it. i don't necessarily like that idea of going after that with the exception of whether or not we're dealing with schools and i think we are to a large extent, that are allowing illegal behavior on their campuses. liz: it's illegal. >> as it relates to these

rallies. liz: there's so much that president trump has to fix to make america normal again. final word. >> yeah, unfortunately, it shouldn't be up to any single president to have to take this on. it seems like everyone should be able to say anti-semitism is wrong. liz: jason rantz thank you so much good to see you now please listen to this. >> thank you, appreciate it. >> to be able to exercise informed choice, you should know what that product is, what's in your food and what the health impacts are and that's all we're going to do. liz: that's president trump's hhs secretary rfk jr. that will shut a huge fda loophole that's making americans sick. dr. peter mccullough will react to the details next. we're excited to talk to the doctor. please stay right there. >> and we're going to inform americans about what's making them sick. nobody wants to be sick. >> they have pre-diabetes.
