classroom again until their demands are met. now, you heard that right. the teachers union, who extorted billions of dollars from the american taxpayers have more demands. >> the city has failed to deliver a whole gunsch of basic demands we need in the school. failed to provide adequate staffing, adequate cleaning in the schools. failed to provide adequate testing. has failed to address our concerns as people go into the schools. >> lawrence: so basically, screw the kids, screw the parents, and screw the science. i mean, what do parents really know about raising their kids? >> school is safe. it's 100 percent the union posturing in holding our children hostage. i'm a teacher, i'm a mother. i'm there to live for them provide for them. i cannot help them with their educational needs 24/7. i can do the best i can. i'm not a tomp. the union is not helping us. i feel like they are against parents. >> lawrence: get out of the way, ladies. they are busy -- they only communicate through interpretive dance. >> make it make sense ♪ safety is essential. >> lawrence: you are supposed to take these people seriously? you are supposed to trust their judgment when it comes to covid? okay. all of the experts including the city's own health commissioner says schools are the safest place for students. >> we saw, even before vaccine was available, that when students and staff were in school, their risk of covid was actually lower than when they were out of school. >> lawrence: there's a problem. the science doesn't matter to the teachers union. they just bend it or ignore it and they are never any to suck billions of dollars out of the federal government. our weak president keeps falling for it. >> we know our children can be safe when in school by the way. that's why i believe schools should remain open. you know, they have what they need, we provided the states with 130 billion with a b, billion dollars to specifically keep our students safe and schools open. >> lawrence: wow, that's a lot of money. just to fight covid in the classroom. where did it go? the city of chicago has already taken in $2 billion in government funding for covid. spent 32 million on comprehensive curly responsible curriculum developed through the curriculum equity initiative. that sounds like crt to me but what i do know? it wasn't just the windy city who foolishly spent their funding milwaukee allocated 24 million to social emotional learning for $100 million for anti-racism and bias professional development. then you have got virginia, who plans to spend money on a road map to equity which draw from a brim contendy. school districts woke indoctrination program ask can one make this make sense? i know who can. will cain host of "fox & friends weekend" and host of the will cain podcast. and ainsley earhardt, co-host of "fox & friends." thank you so much for joining me tonight. will, you have been out front on this. make it make sense for me, brother. >> will: do i have a masters in interpretive dance? i'm supposed to make that make sense? an amazing piece of gold you found to play as video. it probably sums up what ainsley and i could struggle to do in five minutes this whole thing is nonsense. here is what i would say is worse than nonsense, lawrence, it's child abuse. it is child abuse. after two years we know there is isolation, depression loss of learning and increasing risk of suicide. what we have watched is a society who takes its most vulnerable, its children and to add ton top of that lawrence, disproportionately black and brown children to the volcano and tossed them into the fire. sacrificed our children to the altar of fire and sins. chicago's union who knows what they want? i don't know what they want. money, power. all i know is they do not want what is best for our children. >> lawrence: you are so right. ainsley, you spent part of your time going out there talking with parents. and they wanted to get back to school. we were promised if we give the teachers first priority when it comes to the covid shots and if we give them this money, to redo the classrooms so they can have great ventilation system they would return. when they got this money, they used it for crt and other social justice programs. >> ainsley: that makes everyone so angry. i mean, lawrence, they got $130 billion for from the american rescue plan to reopen schools. they got the money. why are the schools closing again? we have almost experienced this for two years. patients are frustrated. when we go out to have a conversation with parents and different counties like loudoun county, they are furious. some of them children with emotional issues. and they don't know how to teach them at home. two years of being at home or a year and a half or even a year being at home back at home virtually, not in the classroom, in front of teachers that are trained to teach these kids, think about the little ones, the loss of learning. they are trying to learn to read. they are wearing masks and they can't see the teacher's mouths, that's one thing. i'm fine if we have to wear the masks in order to get back in schools. i can live with that i just want our children back in school. and to your point, you are absolutely right. it is the lower class, it is the minority children that are really affected by this because many of them don't have the tools to go virtually at home. that's exactly what the surgeon general was saying yesterday. so why are they teaching crt? where are the priorities? guess who is suffers because of this? our children. you listed all those cities with crt. also california is using that money for crt. new york, buffalo, washington state, massachusetts, minnesota, oregon, nevada, rhode island, and the list goes on and on. and, lawrence, i'm old school. i want math and science. i want reading. i want computers taught to my daughter. i don't want all the crt stuff. if there is money left over down the road, then we can talk about teaching equity and all of that in our classrooms because i do believe all children are equal in the eyes of god. i. the golden rule taught and i want math and science. i want all of that taught to my daughter. we only have them 18 years before we send them off to college. that's not a lot of time when you consider vacations and summer months when they are not learning at all. >> lawrence: exactly right. we learned from covid that a lot of people don't want to go back to work. a lot of them forced to go back to work you don't work you don't eat. teachers unions don't have to work and they still get paid. >> will: that's right. do you know what this is, lawrence? it's a work stoppage. it's a work stoppage. it's a strike under the guise of remote learning. truthfully what it is is it is child abandonment. they have abandoned our children. they have abandoned it against all science and data. you and ainsley went through that list of schools that devoted money to crt training, milwaukee, virginia, dlant, l.a., d.c. does it strike you it's the same same schools that today have voted to go remote for at least some period of time? it seems that the only thing our school districts in many of these cities are willing to teach is how our children should turn into racist because i disagree with ainsley on one semantic thing. i believe in equality. i don't believe in equity. equity is a trojan horse through which they implement marxist ideology and neo racism equality is a common human goal. >> ainsley: i should have said equality, right. >> will: ainsley, it's a small. here's why it is important. semantically people confuse the two and guide many people along on ideological move. i will say this in the end, lawrence. the "new york times" the other day admitted to all of this. they admitted to how bad it's been. >> i don't know if you saw the article how bad it's been for our children shut downs too little too late, at this point i want accountability the politicians, the pundits, the cable news hosts i want accountability from teachers unions and media. you cannot punish children and get away with it. >> lawrence: ainsley, i will give you the final world in that article a lot of the columnist tweeted out they didn't know. are you kidding me? did you not see the kids? >> ainsley: you know, lawrence, i want to know why this was allowed to be used for crt. this was supposed to be used for testing, for ventilation, for masks, for whatever it is to get our kids back in the classroom. not crt. they passed this under the guise of public health. many of those issues, crt issues are saying are public health issues. baltimore there are two high schools recently study deed not a single student is proficient in these high schools in math or science. yet they are probably learning crt. so why use this money for crt? our children are suffering. >> lawrence: you are exactly right. >> will: can i answer that quickly give one hint on that lawrence? ainsley, i'm sure you both saw the news, within the past week the governor of new york kathy hochul has declared racism a public health crisis therein lies how can you divert money back into putting money back in the classroom and divert it to crt. >> lawrence: that is the new standard. everything will be public health to get what they want. if we are stupid enough to fall for it, shame on us. buff the kids deserve better. ainsley, will, thank you for joining me tonight. so as thee teachers demand billions of dollars to run their school, my next guest at just 22 years old has been finding his own resources and donations in order to open a charter school for young black men in atlanta. king randal is the founder of the x for boys. you have seen him before. king, your quick reaction to what's happened across the country and why it inspired you to do what you are doing right now, which is taking the power away from government even though the government tried to shut you down. you had the superintendent down there in atlanta that tries to get his cronies to shut you down. but now you have the power to go directly to the kids, have the parents go directly to the kids, through your school. talk about it. >> absolutely. lawrence, i have been working with children for the past three years. and when i began working with the children. seeing them not be able read, seeing them not be able to write. i became alarmed. i was wondering how and why these kids were being passed through school. these kids are in high school and middle school, et cetera. these kids can't read and write. i mean literally just that. i'm wondering why these kids can't read and write and going to look at the statistics right now only 19% of our high school children are being proficient in math when they graduate. under 20% of those children proficient in reading. they are touting oh we have the super high graduation rate and these children are being illiterate. they are graduating functionally illiterate. one thing i want to say so many of us that love to say that the teachers don't want to teach, et cetera. it's not even that it's that these teachers are handcuffed to this same system. teachers also need school choice, too. nobody stands up for teachers when they need assistance as well. these teachers don't feel safe at school. sometimes just likes a other children don't. i just heard joe biden say that the children are safe at school. children are not safe at school. these kids are still smoking at school. these kids are having sex at school. these kids are doing crazy things at school. these teachers are being violently assaulted at school, et cetera. these stories don't hit the news. these stories don't come anywhere. any time a teacher says something gets brushed under the rug. let a child say what teacher did it gets indictment and all over the news. nobody stands up for teachers. this is why school choice and schools like ours is important. we have to give teachers an option. we have to give students and parents an option. parents are having troubling, especially single moms who are working and they need schooling for their children. they are expecting the school to be teaching their children to read, to be teaching their children to write. these kids are 14 and 15 years old and the parents discover that they can't read. we have such a toxic relationship with these systems in our community. we'll allow our pastors and certain politicians in our community tom up with strategic ways for us to continue big government for everything else. and i'm just like no, let's use that same ingenuity to teach our people how to do something for ourselves. sometimes we have to put a period where we always add in a comma. >> lawrence: you know, king, how does it happen when the kids come to you they can't read and write? somebody passed them through. how does that happen? >> it's a system. i have teachers email me all the time. i wish i could put the emails up and let the teachers remain anonymous. some of the teachers in my local school system will contact me and say they are telling us basically to pass the kids through school. they are literally telling them to push the kids through school. these kids can't read or write. they are wondering why we have one of the highest crime rates in the state. just now we just indicted the perps gang in albany, georgia. a list of 30 young men, from ages 12 to 226. these kids are in school, et cetera, they all got indicted for being in this gang. i think they may have been responsible for killing a 9-year-old in our city. but these kids can't read and write. i think if they were at the actual school that were teaching them what they need to know such as our school teaching skill trades and how to be a man and how to tie a tie and talk to people, et cetera, they wouldn't be in these areas. they wouldn't be living their lives about to go to jail and throwing their lives away at just 12 years old, 13 years old. you expecting a kid that can't read and write in a city with no recreation, et cetera, to go and be some type of a great person. that's absolutely nonsense. and these teachers who are trying their heardest to teach differently but they are being handcuffed by the system as well. we have to get out of that toxic relationship with our systems and create systems of our own. >> lawrence: own roads lead to bad government. government is rarely good. we have got to stop the system. we have got to take the power back. that's exactly what you are doing, king. thanks so much for joining me tonight. >> thank you. >> lawrence: the democrats are planning a big party for januar. dan bongino, you know what he does best. is he going to crash the party. that's next. ♪ growing up in a little red house, on the edge of a forest in norway, there were three things my family encouraged: kindness, honesty and hard work. over time, i've come to add a fourth: be curious. be curious about the world around us, and then go. go with an open heart, and you will find inspiration anew. viking. exploring the world in comfort. aleve-x. it's fast, powerful long-lasting relief with a revolutionary, rollerball design. because with the right pain reliever... life opens up. aleve it... and see what's possible. ♪ music ♪ there's software. and then there's industrial grade software. capable of optimizing your flight by turning data into your co-pilot. meet honeywell forge. analytical software that helps assembly lines build walls against cyber threats. and makes sure you're ready for game day every day. that's honeywell forge. industrial grade software ♪ music ♪ (vo) subaru and our retailers volunteer and support charities all year long. and...through the subaru share the love event, we are proud to have donated over two hundred and twenty five million dollars to charity. you can get a car from any company, but none will make a difference like subaru.

>> the president is going to speak to the truth of what happened. he will also speak to the work we still need to do to secure and strengthen our democracy and our institutions to reject the hatred and lies we saw on january 6th. >> lawrence: i mean, these people they are totally delusional or maybe they are not. this week chuck schumer sent a letter to the senate democrats that read we must advance democracy reforms to repair our republic or else the events of that day will be the new norm. the real reason for all of this hype they want democracy reform in other words they're losing and trying to pass legislation to change the voting laws to make it easier for them to keep their job your struggles, your problems mean nothing to them. you mean nothing to them. like i said last night, don't listen to what these clowns say. watch what they do. what they are doing this week is a selfish pathetic attempt to reward their own failures at the expense of you and your family's well being. they caused inflation. they encouraged the criminals. and their plan to end covid has failed. let's just be honest about it i mean if you got joe biden telling us just to google how to get a test. every last one of these should be sent packing. they will not go down easy. they have the power. they have the media but that's no match for the american people. we have to be smarter than that. i know you are smarter than that. here now to react the host of unfiltered on saturday night dan bongino. dan, where did i go wrong? >> you didn't. so i got a couple things to say about this topic as i usually do. number one it's really weird how the democrats keep changing their story about january 6th. did you all notice this out there in the fox audience? when they want to pin january 6th on donald trump, and say donald trump instigated a riot. they don't mention any of the planning. he did it he said do this and he ordered everyone and they followed his orders. then when they want to indict all of conservative america and people who just showed up there and acted peacefully, it was a small subset of people, what do they do? they say no, no, no. this was planned in advance. what was it planned in advance or did donald trump instigate a riot? the democrats they lick their finger and they are like well what are the political winds today? today we have got to attack donald trump so he definitely instigated a riot. that's point number one. now you will see it you can never unsee this now that i mentioned it to you. they will change the story based on what their political argument da jury is. this has nothing to do with january 6th upper they are not talking about security failures or what went wrong about eca reform, none of that stuff. they don't -- that has nothing to do with january 6th. what does it have to do with? this has to do with 2022. i thought january 6th happened in 2021. no, no. this has to do with november of 2022. what the hell, what in hades do sean hants texts have to do with january 6th? the answer, nothing. what does sebastian gorka's emails have to do with it the answer nothing. these are the people they are focused on. you have to ask yourself why? why did they have to do with this? nothing. nothing at all. the tests counter their narrative. the research is they want to make sure every republican out there in conservative media and every donor out there understands that you have an election coming up, and do you know what? whoever you text and communicate with, you could be next. one more point here, listen, they -- and liberals, i get it you are going to say this is what aboutism. the verdict is in. you are correct. this is what aboutism. because it's what about principles. if there is an insurrection on january 6th. what the hell happened at that portland courthouse with a 30 day siege where antifa tried to burn a federal courthouse down for over a month. >> lawrence: mostly peaceful. dan. >> people were inside. lawrence, what happened in the american cities to all of these residents who were sitting there fearful? i had people calling me from new york. i'm not kidding saying, dan, do you know any former secret service agents who will sit in my drug stores. they are going to come in and steal all the drugs and put me out of business this happened not just once multiple times. what about that insurrection? what about that? the answer is what about your principles? they don't have any. kamala harris wanted to bail these people out with the minnesota freedom fund. they don't give a damn about this stuff. they want to make a political point. >> lawrence: dan, it's deeper than that it's not just the riots. it's what happens the criminals ghetto kick in the door and reform their lives. they get to smash and grab and get to murder people and get to be right back on the street. but when it comes to the people that happened on january 6th. by the way no one has been charged with terrorism. can we talk about that? >> yes. >> lawrence: you feel like all these people they talk about text messages and all this type of stuff colluding, worst thing since 9/11. charge the people. charge them. >> yeah. lawrence, here's the problem here. and you are right about what you said. there is a reason behind it though. the reason is this you know, we can all talk about this stuff, but when you understand the why it all makes sense. democrats are never run on their stuff. i shouldn't say democrats. manchin may have a case and sinema. they can't run on give your kids and healthcare, okay? their politics really suck. just being candid. what do they run on. always run on the other guy theory. it's that the republicans are even worse and they are coming for you and they hate you. it's why identity politics works for them. that's why the january 6th thing, that's why they needed attention on this and they don't want to highlight any of the problems that are going on in their liberal cities because what they're saying to america is this: you see this violence and all these violent people and all these crazy people, that's all those people on the right. look, even though our policies really suck we will protect you from them. it's the other guy theory. the democrats can never run on their stuff. they always run on definitely stay away from those other guys because they really hate you because of fill in the blank, you are black, hispanic, immigrant, a single mom. it doesn't matter. this is this january 6th. they think they have the -- they are on the top of the moral totem pole here. they will use it forever. it's a political weapon for 2022. >> lawrence: dan, i will wrap with this. it worked for aered poof time. a lot of trump supporters, republicans went into a corner after january 6th. they were ashamed of what happened. the media trying to connect. the people at home saying this is who you guys are. so they were silent. the country has gotten too far out of control. inflation, crime, the border, everything that's impacting people. supply chain crisis. you are not just going to be able to, you know, shame people into not showing up right now. i think their intent right now they don't want people to show up at the ballot box. they want people to be ashamed to be a republican. >> it's not going to work. just look at the polling data. the polling data on the generic ballot has the republicans up by huge numbers. i mean, lawrence, do you think it's a coincidence here that 25 house members on the democrat side are not running again? do you think they had some revelation, quickly oh my gosh, this whole power thing in congress isn't my bag, maybe austin powers style? no, they love the power. they are leaving because they are going to get their rumps kicked. that's why. nobody is buying it. you are right perfect distraction. joe biden is on step 11 of 12 step plan to destroy america. they need a distraction and this is their distraction dejury. it will stay there. >> lawrence: so true, i predict shady nancy is next. >> i hope so. see you man. >> lawrence: so you thought sleeping with a chinese spy is bad. wait until you see what eric swalwell did now? this time we got pictures. that's next on "primetime." >> woman: what's my safelite story? >> vo: my car is more than four wheels. it's my after-work decompression zone. so when my windshield broke... >> woman: what?! >> vo: ...i searched for someone who really knew my car. i found the experts at safelite autoglass. with their exclusive technology, they fixed my windshield... then recalibrated the camera attached to my glass so my safety systems still work. who knew that was a thing?! >> woman: safelite has service i can trust. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ aleve-x. it's fast, powerful long-lasting relief with a revolutionary, rollerball design. because with the right pain reliever... life opens up. aleve it... and see what's possible. ♪ >> lawrence: a fox news alert. bear with us this is coming into our newsroom. new photos emerged courtesy of the daily mail showing california congressman eric swalwell following in aoc's footsteps. here he is in the free state of florida and he is not wearing a mask and appears to be sitting at a table holding a drink but not actively sipping. so technically his mask should be up if we get any more update on this story, we will break in immediately. all right now to new york. where the new progressive district attorney is giving the green light to total anarchy, seriously. newly sworn in d.a. just ordered his staff to stop prosecuting crimes like drug possession, trespassing or resisting arrest. he also ordered them to downgrade crimes like armed robbery to something less severe like petty larceny. great, in other words, this is open season for criminals in new york city. the crime crisis we already have is about to get much worse. this is what happens when radical democrats are elected to local offices. it's a trend we have seen over and over again. sonnie johnson said it best last night on this he show. watch. >> the reason you don't have republicans fighting back is because they can't because regulations and rules that are coming through are on the local level. there are no republicans at the local level with the power or the capacity to actually fight back against these policies. so there is nothing that the republicans do. can do. there is no solution for republicans as long as their strategy for these areas is to run with their tail tucked between their legs. and if republicans will not decide at the local level is where the real fight is, there is nothing that they could offer to black america or to america's children. >> lawrence: here now founder of the accomplish killings foundation and ohio congressman and author of "do what you said you would do" jim jordan. jim jordan thank you so much and felicia thank you for joining me. congressman, i want to go to you first. something quite perplexing to me. sonnie hit on it last night. you have these cities riddled with crime. they are desperate for solutions. you mean to tell me a republican can't win these local communities? >> yeah. no, i think they can now. i think you will see more republicans run. we saw in seattle that they elected a republican district attorney. i mean, because what's the message from the left? the left says we're not going to let your kids go to school and now we're going to let criminals roam your streets. i mean, and this is after last year we had a record level of violent crime in almost every urban area in this country. but, frankly, lawrence, we shouldn't be surprised. when you defund the police you shouldn't be surprised when you get more crime. when you get rid of bail, you shouldn't be surprised when you get more crime. when democrats spend an entire summer saying rioters and looters were peaceful protesters. you shouldn't be surprised when you get more crime. now you have the district attorney take the actions is he going to today in manhattan is just craziness. i think you will see republicans run. i think you will see more of them win now that we see how radical the left is. >> lawrence: felicia, as you know i spend a lot of my time going to these cities because i care about them and i hear the people crying out for help. when i told republicans you need to be invested, they say let them rot. >> right. >> lawrence: when they let them rot, it spills over to the suburbs as well. >> right. >> lawrence: we are all in this together. >> yeah. exactly. first, thank you for bringing me on once again. as a conservative i'm always going to be an advocate for intervention. when we're talking about situations where we see this high crime rate, the best solution is to have programs like king randle and what he has going for the x for boys. that's always going to be a solution. the other solution is to get more conservative candidates into these areas so they are running on conservative principles. they have to show up and oftentimes what happens is we see progressives in these areas, the marketing is there. the financing is there. the people are being backed so as a result the people only get to see progressive politicians where is that competition coming from the right. that's the biggest thing we have to pay attention. to say in albany, georgia, we put our action behind our words. we found a candidate jalen johnson and we worked with him to help him get out there into the communities. we were able to put boots on the ground and we got a black conservative candidate to win his election. this is a blueprint for all conservatives nationwide who want to get progressivism boot off the of the neck of these progressive communities. that's how we are going to win this next round. >> lawrence: you know, congressman, people watching this they say why is he focusing in on republicans? i'm focusing in on republicans because i know the democrat solution. we are playing it out right now. they want anarchy. this is their platform. so often i talk to republicans and part of the reason why they don't go into these districts because they are unwinnable. what does that mean? >> no, i don't think so. in light of what we are seeing how radical the left has become you made a point earlier so true. i would tell anyone watching tonight anyone out there if there is a race for office do not elect anyone who is not for school choice. i don't care if they are republican or democrat. don't vote for them unless they are willing to allow you to get your son or daughter to the school where you as a parent think they will get the best education. that's the kind of positions we have to take. don't elect anyone to a district attorney or prosecutor's office if they are not willing to hold the bad guys accountable and keep the bad guys off the streets. when you start talking that kind of plain language, republicans, democrats, conservatives can win. i don't care if they're democrat or conservative republican, they can win, we have to start talking that straightforward to the voters and to the american people and to families who live in these urban areas. >> lawrence: yeah. felercia, if you offer the people a choice do you think they will give republicans a shot. >> most definitely if they show up they are authentic they are principled and they prove they love the community there is no reason why communities would not vote for candidates who are going to work in their best interest. >> lawrence: i want to back some winners. i'm tired of losing and seeing my communities decay. no district is unwinnable. go ahead, congressman. >> i was going to say lawrence, president trump proved this look at the number of african-americans, the hispanic americans, he won ohio by 8.5 points. used to be ohio was considered a toss-up state. by going into all communities and talking about how he can help families, president trump proved what you are talking about. >> lawrence: exactly right. thank you all so much. >> thank you. >> lawrence: everyone in washington was freaked out yesterday when their car got stuck in the snow for hours on the interstate. what if they had followed the same rule they have been pushing on us. you know, have those electric cars? you wouldn't know because that kind of car would be dead because of the cold. we'll talk about that next. hi susan! honey? yeah? i respect that. but that cough looks pretty bad... try this robitussin honey. the real honey you love... plus the powerful cough relief you need. mind if i root through your trash? now get powerful relief with robitussin elderberry. superpowers from a spider bite? i could use some help showing the world how liberty mutual customizes their car insurance. ow! i'm ok! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ only in theaters december 17th. i'm greg, i'm 68 years old. i do motivational speaking liberty. liberty. ♪ in addition to the substitute teaching. i honestly feel that that's my calling-- to give back to younger people. i think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as they used to or they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. i've been taking prevagen for about three years now. people say to me periodically, "man, you've got a memory like an elephant." it's really, really helped me tremendously. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. >> lawrence: so, as you can imagine, everyone in washington freaked out yesterday when it snowed and their cars got stuck on the snow for hours. while the situation was bad, it could have been much worse. what if we were living in joe biden's and john kerry's dream world where everyone drives a tesla and the battery died every time there is a cold breeze. charles lane writes in the "the washington post" it is a scientific fact that batteries of all kinds lose capacity more rapidly in cold weather and that it includes the sophisticated lithium ion ones used by teslas and other evs. s. many might not have made it out. they are saving the planet they don't care as long as they can kill america's oil and gas industry. here now vivek ramaswamy author of ""woke inc."" nobody wants to talk the technical matter this happened in texas when they were talking about solar panels and all this nonsense. we can be in real danger if we go down this green new deal approach. >> it is just another reminder of the law of unintended consequences. here the unintended consequences of blindly following this new climate change orthodoxy. you know, lawrence, it actually reminds me of a quote one of my favorite of all kind friedrich he spoke of the fatal conceit of central planning to take that a central government planner can possibly know all of the consequences of their acts of central planning. and here's the big myth about electric vehicles. make no mistake, it is central government planning. it is not the invisible hand of the market that's driving consumer choice. it is the invisible hand of government that is subsidizing this entire industry without thinking about the consequences of actually offering those subsidies. that's the big secret behind electric car vehicle industry that people need to wake up to. >> the dead give away give you a tax credit. >> the tax credit is a funny way of making a subsidy. just give people the cash. here you are enriching all of the lawyers and accountants and tax accounts tants that get to interpret tax subsidies tired industry of dead weight waist. gising the ways in which you are taking money from one group of taxpayers and giving it to another. the biggest beneficiaries of tax subsidies are people who make 6 figure household incomes or more. no doubt about that. in fact it's a regressive policies. progressives want to talk about redistributive taxation to the poor. this is a regressive policy rich people sitting in california and new york buy electric cars that have unintended consequences leave more lives cost in the long run. i don't mean to be dramatic about it. probably would have been true the scenario you described in washington, d.c. yesterday unintended consequences we would never want in the first place. >> lawrence: you know, vivek, do you think they will make it required by the government? is that the path that we are on right now? >> yeah, so i don't think they are ever going to get that through congress, lawrence. here's their new trick. you mentioned john kerry and joe biden. they have a different game. they couldn't quite get the green new deal in full form through congress, what they have done is john kerry goes to banking ceos and he gets them to sign the climate pledge that they will allocate their capital and stop lending to projects that the green new deal proponents wouldn't have wanted to see. you can't pass it through the front door through congress? great, this administration has a new solution, get private companies to do it through the back door by applying pressure on them. that's what the american people need to wake up to. >> lawrence: unbelievable. we just saw what happened. you would think people would wake up. vivek, thank you so much for joining us. >> good to see you. >> lawrence: got it. so north korea burritos throw back ghost and another reason to call the president sleepy joe. my friend cabot phillips goes on the clock. that's next. ♪ ♪ dry eye symptoms driving you crazy?
