he is being criticized for nominating buttigieg. buttigieg was a mayor. airport. he with drew his nomination for the top faa official spot. he is just latest biden nominee to withdraw after facing bipartisan backlash. we're not begrudging nominee washington. again this is about the president. why is the president nominating political donors and backers and political cronies who are not qualified for these very important jobs about your safety? how about instead of going on tv and tweeting, doing things like going to the clinton global initiative buttigieg figures out what the problem is and stop it now so no one dies. how about that angle, pete buttigieg? he keeps blaming the trump white house. it is difficultcontinue to fingerpoint when you're the guy in charge. tomorrow we have house oversight james comer, congressman does at this johnson, tom dupree. we have a hot show for you tomorrow. remember email us at emacviewers@fox.com. we may feature you on the next show. i'm liz macdonald thanks for watching the evening the e edit on fox business. time for my

this is not that complicated for pete buttigieg.talked with his people last week the fra, the group working alongside the ntsb. the fra is in his purview and department. when he says it isn't my job isn't true. >> well, i believe buttigieg is getting criticism because he is probably the most high-profile secretary of transportation that we've ever had. and republicans see him as a competitor, as a potential presidential candidate, a rising star in the democratic party. he is one they have to attack. i think regardless of where buttigieg is, he will get criticism. but look, he is the only secretary of transportation that has been on site at a derailment come to find out. this is an increasing issue. i hope the silver lining here in the devastation that's happened in ohio is that we put an end to this. we're looking at technology that they are using not from 2023 but from 1923. we still have rails that have open containers hauling waste through our communities. we have rail crossings that have not been upgraded in decades. so this is

we blame buttigieg. pete buttigieg. this was his responsibility.e big poison. >> i mean, the fact that he is gay is a huge part of this. right? >> a thing i asked about was the attention to the shoes wearing there. not work boots. they're boots. fancy-ish boots and said that's maddening and got -- his voice got tight and said i'm trying to talk about peoples' lives and solving the problems that the outlets need a choice whether they are covering fashion or whether they cover policy and what happens when people are trying to recover from a disaster like this. >> one of the broader points of this is this is the transportation secretary. most americans have no idea who that person is. here's ray la hood saying he's never heard of this level of criticism against another secretary ever. this is pure politics. it is politics because people think he will run for president. >> it is because of his identity. right? he can't change the fact that he is gay and so many attacks are bad fact attacks. one said he and his husband holding the children is what's wro

buttigieg eventually did go to the town.eople in the town more, donald trump or pete buttigieg? i think it's obvious from the video footage that pete buttigieg was met with some anger because it took him so long to get there and because it looked like he didn't care. and another area where our government is failing is on keeping an eye on our real enemy which is china who by the way looks at all of this incompetence in our government, is probably licking their chops. china just announced a bump in military spending earlier today in order to prepare for potential combat in the future. >> this comes as a top chinese official pledges a peaceful reunification with taiwan. >> brooke singman joins us now. >> china injecting more money into the military as the communist nation says it is, quote, boosting its come pat preparedness. the country you announcing a 7.2% military budget increase, china's premier pledging a, quote, peaceful unification with taiwan during an adegrees the country's parliament. listen to this. >> we should pr

and buttigieg, there is a buttigieg world at political pier they are very upset about it.lot of bullets for the president on this is what the anonymous buttigieg world said. it is too late to go in the president is supposed to be empathetic. how many times have these heard that? he left out a mom whose two sons died of fentanyl. and the same guy when asked about afghanistan said four or five days ago, the same guy would talk about zoom when asked about east palestine. so we wouldn't expect much more. >> katie: jessica, this is why we don't have trust in local or federal officials. because they have been told that things are safe and they have been told the president's empathetic and cares about the issue have cancer, for example, and he's m.i.a. >> jessica: so, we can put together a montage of republican and democrat officials all saying it is fine. mike dewine. no, but i'm saying it is important because it has turned into that joe biden is a fake impasse, which i would fiercely disagree with. i don't know how people can trust their government. i think more should show up

there appears to be a real disconnect between pete buttigieg and the job. >> well, i think buttigieg says, we don't care how competent you are but we care if you fix a box we have created. he happened to be perfect for biden administration because he was the kind of person represented the gay community. it's not about his sexual orientation but competence. the department of transportation is an operating department. the airplanes have to fly. the trains have to move. the roads have to be built. and the ports have to operate. what you have is a secretary of transportation whose peak experience was the part time they a small town. he has no possible ability to manage this huge complex program. he proved it in the last few months when he didn't know how to respond to the problems that happened with one airline. he did know how to respond the entire air traffic control system was closed down for the first time since 9/11. literally everybody in the country grounded. he didn't know how to respond when we had a train wreck in a small town with a chemical fire. how many times in baseball, t
