"the evening edit" starts right now. >> the senate passing a

$3.5 trillion spending blowout in early hours on the heels of $1.2 trillion infrastructure package. let's bring in house representative buddy carter. your thoughts on the senate plan. in the plan they're planning to gear up with the irs to use more money with the irs to target those more wealthy, people they believe are evading taxes. the whole goal is to get more money to fund these programs. your thoughts on that? it is obviously the whole goal of their program with increasing number of irs agents they will increase taxes as well. and look, i was a small business owner for over 32 years and one of the primary responsibilities of government next to protecting our homeland is job creation and making sure that we're growing our economy. it is making sure we're setting a fertile environment for job growth in our economy and in our nation. that is extremely important. what the democrats are doing now, especially with this

$3.5 trillion spending spree which is nothing more than a progressive priority list, nothing more than a socialist wish-list, if you will, what they're doing is they're causing inflation to rise. we see it. we see it at the gas pump. we see it at the grocery store. i was sitting in the chair, my wife came in. honey i've been to the grocery store. i have good news and bad news. the bad news i spent $200. the good news i only have one bag to bring in. we're seeing inflation rear its ugly head. inflation is nothing more than a tax, nothing more than a cut in your paycheck. edward: on that note, even the president said government spending his programs are not spiking this inflation. do you believe if they spend another 3 1/2 trillion dollars on what is already out there, still trickling into the economy, it will not cause inflation? it will actually help small businesses and those people going to the grocery store? >> if they believe that, that is

unbelievable that someone could actually believe that is true. nothing could be further from the truth. it is reckless spending that is causing inflation. it is not transitory. it is not just until we get the kinks worked out in the supply chain. we're seeing reckless spending resulting in inflation. what we're seeing is nothing more than a socialist wish-list they're putting together. look what is included in the $3.5 trillion. nothing more than free college, free child care, green new deal priorities. edward: and you may get this $3.5 trillion reconciliation package in your lap. it passed fairly early this morning, a vote of 50-49. look at things in there. i want to point out some of these things. 33billion dollars for affordable housing in cities, suburbs, rural areas. $37 billion to electrify the federal vehicle fleet and

improve cybersecurity infrastructure. 135 billion for funding a civilian climate corps. all this to boost public debt. even in the bill public debt is going to 30.7 trillion in the first year with the pay-fors. so how do you stop it? >> i, you know, you stop it by cutting up the credit cards in washington, d.c. that is the first thing you do. look i've got children, i've got grandchildren. what we're doing here is saddling them with debt. this is nothing more than intergeneration ral theft. i can't look my grand children in the eyes oh, i'm leaving you $30 trillion in debt. that is not fair at all. we have to address this. cut out the credit cards. we have to be fiscally responsible. right now the democrats with their reckless spending, they're doing anything but being fiscally responsible. edward: yeah. never let a crisis go to waste, right? the edict. republican senators are speaking out on this massive spending. listen here to senate minority

leader mitch mcconnell. >> make no mistake, this reckless taxing and spending spree is nothing like we've seen, nothing. basic math of their taxing and spend something toxic enough but the radicalism that will be, that we'll be debating on the floor goes well beyond dollars and cents. the policies they want to put behind this budget resolution like somebody walked across the rotunda to the house and handed "the squad" a pen and piece of paper. edward: so are far left members of the democratic party, are they running the show? >> they are running the show, there is no question about it. listen, senator mcconnell is absolutely on spot here. he is spot on in the sense that, look at what they're trying to do with the immigration and amnesty. they will try to tie that in. we look at the disaster that exists at the southern border right now. and you know, i would like to

think that it is because they're just not paying attention. maybe they're ignorant but i think it is a well-planned event that is going on there. they want as many people to get in to this country right now as they can because then they want us to work on amnesty. that is going to lead to all kind of problems. edward: that is actually something we'll get into later on in the show. look at this. senator certainty yaw lummis tweeting saying let's be clear, 3 1/2, really closer to 5.5 trillion package democrats are pushing is not infrastructure. it is a progressive grab bag of policies that you will pay for with your hard-earned dollars through either more inflation or higher taxes later. do you see higher taxes? we talked about inflation, do you see higher taxes coming down the road? >> no question about it. the president already alluded to it. he already made suggestions and proposals how we can pay for this through higher taxes.

listen, this is going to wreck our economy. if we continue on this path that we're on right now with this reckless spending, with the high taxes it is going to rec this economy. we are going to pay for it for years to come. edward: you guys are coming back in august 23rd. are you taking up the infrastructure, the bipartisan infrastructure bill? do you think that will go through in the last 30 seconds that we have? >> well that remains to be seen. that is the worst thing about being in the minority you don't control the agenda. the majority party controls the agenda. that will be up to the speaker. i suspect giving the speaker her due she knows how to count votes. i suspect she will get the votes she needs. i can assure you she will not get a lot of republican support. edward: reconciliation, bill, bipartisan infrastructure she will sit on it until they get the reconciliation bill. we'll see how that plays out. thank you, congressman buddy carter, great state of georgia. always a good conversation. this is something we'll keep

following. thank you. >> thank you. edward: up next former lable for secretary nominee andy puzder weighs in on massive spending pushed by democrats, and how it affects your taxes to pay for their big plans. >> you would never know that joe biden won this primary against bernie sanders because this is bernie's budget and it is designed to go a long way towards bernie's world which is a socialist america where the middle class becomes dependent on government and they don't care how much it costs. it will be trillions and trillions of dollars and that is on top of trillions they have already spent. ♪ ♪ ♪ hey google, turn up the heat.

♪. edward: new government data out today shows prices for many things americans buy every day are going up again from, to cars, to gas, to appliances. lydia hu has the the breakdown. reporter: edward, bureau from the labor statistics that consumer prices rose 5.4% over a year ago, which is the same rate we saw last month showing that inflation is still hot but the month over month increase slowed to half a percent, down from

june's month over month which is .9 of a percent, the highest we've seen since august of 2008. when we dig a little deeper into the data we can see what categories are costing consumers more. one of those categories is appliances. on average across the country people are spending 12% more on appliance purchases like refrigerators and freezers than they were last year but there are some examples that stand out being especially high increase. if you take, for example, a look at this samsung refrigerator, it is up in price by $800. last year this refrigerator would have cost 2299. now it is up over $3,000. >> this is the first year where we had such a big dramatic change. costs have gone up. raw materials, one, production issues, number two, distribution. getting a product from point a to point b is dramatically more expensive. reporter: industry experts

explain that when prices increase for appliances it takes a long time for them to come back down. so you can expect to see these elevated prices for the rest of this year, at least through the first half of next year. edward? edward: thank you, lydia. going to pass the costs on to us. dig deeper on our own into the rising inflation with former labor secretary nominee andy puzder. the white house is partly blaming the rise on inflation to the delta variant. listen to this, this is press secretary jen psaki. >> we're also have been addressing through a separate channel, through our supply chain efforts our work with a range of companies and our work with our global partners. i would also note we've seen impacts because of the delta variant on parts of the world and markets where there are some, you know, some materials coming from. edward: we blame this inflation on the virus? >> well you know they will blame it on anything they can possibly

blame it on other than their own policies. if what she was saying is true, then june's inflation, inflation in june would be much lower than it was in july because in june we weren't having the same problems with the delta variant we're having in july. in fact june's inflation was even higher than july's. july's was high and very significant. the problem is if people aren't working, right? we have supply chain disruptions during the pandemic. if people don't get back to work, if they're not driving trucks, out working in the manufacturing facilities then you can't solve problems, the supply chain problems because you don't have the workers to make the products or distribute them. if you pay people as the democrats are more not to work than they could make if they had a job so they don't go back to work you will have supply chain problems. this could last a while. edward: exactly. that is what we're starting to hear now. paying people to stay home more. in fact the federal reserve chairman jay powell also acknowledging for the first time to me, that in fact it plays a

role, that extra unemployment benefits. that rolls off in september. republicans are pointing to trillions of dollars in spending by democrats. what do you make of more of this spending going in? what does that mean for the inflation that we're seeing? >> well the major driver of inflation is always monetary policy. milton friedman said that years ago. we now, during, since the pandemic began in february of 2020 we've inned the money supply by a third, 32%. that means every dollar is worth less. what you're seeing is the impact of all the dollars flooding the economy. jay powell has to come up with something. last month he claimed it was cars, air fares driving these inflationary trends those kinds of things would dissipate. this month, cars, fares rate they increased up was down.

what was up food and energy, the things normal everyday americans feel sensitive about and that is what drove inflation in july. you will see that for a while. you will see it until we solve these labor issues and stop this incredible spending that is devaluing the dollar. we've seen inflation increasing significantly more than wages, which means even though wages are going up, people are earning less. that will continue for a while with these policies. edward: heard both the white house press secretary around president say core inflation was less than it was last time. the core inflation takes out energy, gas prices as well as food prices but you can't really do that because americans are seeing that inflation, right? 5.4% is what it was last month. 5.4% is what it was in june and july, right? >> that is exactly right. look, you go to the gas station and then you stop at the grocery store. what are the two things you're going to notice? you will notice energy costs and

notice food costs. taking those out of the calculation, the inflation calculation saying it is not as bad as people think it is, well it is as bad as people think it is because energy and food are way, way up. energy is up. did you see today that biden is asking opec to produce more oil? i mean because they're concerned about the price of oil being too high to meet demand out there right now? this is what they're seeing in the inflation numbers. how about the united states produces more oil? how about opening keystone pipeline? how about we encourage people in texas and north dakota to produce energy to get our energy costs down? it doesn't make any difference to climate change whether the oil comes from saudi arabia, russia or the united states. i would prefer it come from the united states. edward: listen to something, cofounder of home depot, ken langone, inflation hurts people already struggling. listen to this. >> inflation is a regressive tax. the people that get punished the most by inflation are the people

who are struggling to make ends meet. why? because they live from paycheck to paycheck. these people deserve better than that. go back and look at '79, 80, '81, who was getting crushed? the little guy. edward: those are voters president biden said he would protect. in the last 30 seconds here what's the fix? >> well the fix is, number one, policies that get people back into the labor force. cut out all the policies that take people out of the labor force. number two, stop spending. even joe manchin, the democrat from west virginia is out there saying look, we're spending too much money. we're spending like we're in a depression. we're not. we're in a overheating economy. stop spending money, get people back to work, then we will be back to where we were under president trump, wages growing faster than inflation. edward: bottom dropped out of the economy with the pandemic.

appreciate, andy. we have a lot to talk about this. this is something we're going to be following very, have he closely here. thank you very much. >> thank you, edward. edward: still ahead new york democrat governor cuomo announced his resignation but his legal troubles are far from over. new york state republicans still calling for impeachment as the criminal investigations continue into sexual harassment allegations. add in the troubles associated with the nursing home scandal and plus husband new book. new york assemblyman mike lawler joins us next. >> this is being covered by the mainstream liberal media but you see virtually nothing about the nursing home deaths and his role in that. and so, they are more than happy to divert their listeners to make him into somebody who could be attacked for that. ♪.

today the gop members of the new york state judiciary put out a statement in part saying this, republican members of the assembly judiciary committee remain committed to concluding our impeachment investigation of the governor. so are you expecting then that impeachment to go through? >> well i think the investigation, absolutely needs to reach its conclusion and the information obtained during that investigation needs to be released publicly. the public has paid for this investigation and they have a right to know what has been uncovered. in addition i believe very strongly that the albany county sheriff and district attorney must follow through on their criminal investigation into the allegations against the governor. the department of justice must follow through on its investigation into the nursing home scandal, and the attorney general must follow through on her investigation into the $5.1 million blood money book deal that the governor received. edward: yeah.

these are some of the things you've been mentioning. five district attorneys have now made inquiries into the sexual harassment allegations. there is also, as you said, there is pending investigations for how the governor handled the nursing home situation and state resources possibly used in his books. where do you see, you outlined some of those investigations, where do you see them ending up? >> i think the governor has serious criminal and civil liabilities which is part of the reason that he resigned yesterday. i think it is obvious to anyone that has been watching that there are serious legal issues that have been raised. obviously the most egregious case was the allegation that the governor groped his executive assistant when it came to the sexual harassment allegations. but beyond that, the nursing home scandal where he sent covid positive patients into nursing homes resulting in nearly 15,000

residents dying and covered up the true toll of that death count. i think that in my estimation was criminal and warrants criminal charges against the governor and his senior staff. edward: right. >> melissa derosa who recently resigned along with the governor. i think many of them are going to be facing serious criminal liabilities. edward: on that front, i mean we heard about the last minute push from the governor, reportedly his office saying i won't run again you know, therefore let me stay in office here. do you feel like because this now resignation has happened, there has been a last minute wheeling and dealing there is some of that hey, you know, i will resign now but let's hold off on some of those investigations or sort of put down some of those investigations specifically into the nursing homes? >> well, that was an attempt by a delusional sociopath to avoid any liability but the simple truth is this, there are

multiple investigations going on. those investigations must be completed and any and all criminal and civil charges must be brought against governor cuomo irrespective of his decision to resign. we need justice for the victims, both the 11 -- the 15,000 seniors who died result of his decision to send covid positive patients into nursing homes. edward: thank you. assemblyman mike lawler. i'm sure we'll be calling on you. 14 days we'll have to sit and wait for the governor's resignation actually to take place. thank you for your time. appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. edward: coming up former national security advisor kt mcfarland joins us on the cries sus in afghanistan. get this, the taliban continues to gain ground. u.s. officials telling fox news kabul could fall within 90 days. what this could mean for the region and all the military

safety. we have former advisor kt mcfarland. the u.s. is saying it is afghanistan's problem. can they do that? >> we were always going to lose this war and taliban would ultimately win. it has taken 20 years, we would be fed up and leave. the taliban is coming in province by province, tribal leaders are cutting their own deals with the taliban. it is snowball effect as more and more turn over weapons to the taliban, more and more give in, more and more will hurry to get there. no one wants to be the last tribal leader in began span supporting a government that is already corrupt. i think the taliban will have control of afghanistan by september 11th. it will close one of themost tragic chapters in american foreign policy in this century.

edward: wow. the country is hurting economically and conditions are getting worse. international aid that goes in there, will it get to where it needs to go in now there is a government at least in place. if the taliban continues to gain ground, will the aid get to the people? >> it never got to the people. it was always a corrupt government. i remember once in afghanistan about 15 years ago i met with one of the tribal leaders he said you know, we're a poor country. americans don't feel too bad what we're doing here but we know you're a rich country. we know you will eventually get fed up and leave. we'll get as much out of you as we can while you're here. corruption was endemic an rampant there was no way we were ever going to change, two, 3,000 years of afghan tribal history. to me it is an example of just failed foreign policy by the establishment, republicans, democrats, senior military leaderships where they came to us, edward, came to the american people said, you know a few

billion more dollars, just another couple months, maybe another couple thousand troops more we'll get there, victory is right around the corner. victory was never right around the corner. it would never be right around the corner. it's a heartbreak, a tragedy to see what happened in afghanistan but most importantly to the american people and american military that bore the brunt of this failed military policy venture. edward: we saw with the russians, military occupation of afghanistan. nothing ever changed there. former secretary mike pompeo on the rapid withdrawal. >> i'm surprised at speed. we spent 20 years building up afghan forces. president trump's message was reconciliation and bring our forces back home. this is now the afghan fight. edward: do you agree with that? >> absolutely. it always been the afghan's fight. i certainly hope when we can get our troops and our personnel

back to the united states before the whole country collapses. i was in the white house situation room when saigon fell in the 1970s where we left saigon. we were surrounded by the communists north vietnamese forces america had to leave in a hurry. we were very worried we would lose a report of american lives. i think this will be the same situation. we keep repeating these same mistakes. i'm so pro-military. i'm so pro-american foreign policy but in this one case we tried to take the most primitive, corrupt, tribal, illiterate country in the world and we tried to nation build to create a democracy in america's image. we went into afghanistan to kill al qaeda. we did. we killed al qaeda a couple months. what did we do? we stuck around afghanistan to try to nation build in a country that didn't want to be rebuilt into a modern democratic nation. edward: get your thoughts on this. what happened to all the military supplies and equipment we gave the people of

afghanistan? will it end up in the hands of the taliban? the white house admits there is a risk. listen to the sot from the white house press secretary. >> we certainly take that risk seriously. it's a concern of us as it would be in any war zone where we provided assistance. we did take steps to retrograde some of the equipment over the past several months in preparation for that possibility but we take that seriously. we watch it closely as well. edward: so in the last 30 seconds do you think that they're going to be using, will we see the equipment used again on the u.s.? >> well, i don't think the u.s. is going to be there to use it upon but my guess the units that are now switching side to the taliban, they're going to use american equipment as the bargaining chip. that is going to be the sort of bride's price they pay to the taliban to be forgiven for their siding with americans. it's a great tragedy. we've lost a trillion dollars, thousands of american lives, tens of thousands of americans have been injured and wounded.

again it's a bad chapter in american history. i'm glad it is over. edward: thank you, kt mcfarland. appreciate your insight on that. something we'll watch. still ahead california's dixie fire, the state's single worst wildfire in history is raging and once again the power company could be to blame. former california republican party chair member tom del beccaro is on deck. >> our heart is crushed by what has occurred there. their life is now forever changed. all i can tell you is, i'm sorry. some days, you just don't have it. not my uncle, though. he's taking trulicity for his type 2 diabetes and now, he's really on his game.

cut things. by the way there is breaking scandal here how gavin newsom protected pg&e during the last round of fires. this story isn't going anywhere soon. edward: i wanted to switch gears quickly. the governor seems to be the stress getting to him a little bit. he kind of snipped at a number of reporters. listen to this. >> we how comes to florida tex sand better economic out comes. our economy contracted at more modest rate than florida or texas. i don't know why that doesn't get more damn attention. edward: texas, texas, has you know, fewer total cases, fewer deaths than california does when you talk about covid. i mean, you know, what's, what do you think about the governor? what is happening? >> he is lying and he does this over and over. california had an 8.1% increase in weekly unemployment claims where the rest of the country

dropped 4.4%. so, this california comeback is false. by the way, any comeback is at the expense of newsom's or despite newsom's, what he is doing and now he has put more mandates on teachers, more mandates on health workers and this is what is driving the recall. gavin newsom acting on his own. he is not well-liked. i wrote about that at fox news yesterday. this is why the recall is doing so well, why rescue california.org is doing well. edward: he compares himself to states that have not locked down. california, four million confirmed cases of covid with 64,000 deaths. horrible. tense sass 2.7 million confirmed cases with 53,000 deaths. texas was open. they don't have the mask mandates there. you know it is just, it is unbelievable how this is going forward. do you think this opens the door for a republican in the next, to be governor? >> all, yes i do. all of these problems, whether it is homelessness, gas prices

rising, crime, 65% of the state says that crime is rising, all these things are coming to bear on him. that is why we're having a successful recall effort despite what the media out here originally thought. gavin newsom is on the ropes. you know what? he needs to be. he is doing a terrible job. edward: thank you, tom del beccaro, thank you. good luck. what else can we say about california? so when we come back, $100 billion from the house budget reconciliation bill is slated to go to the judiciary committee including a chunk for giving some migrants permanent legal status. critics are warning this will open the floodgates even more at the southern border. we'll ask former i.c.e. director, acting director tom homan about it. the reaction to shocking pictures of the conditions in these facilities. >> of course migrants want to come across. we want them to come across safely. they're coming into contact with

vicious cartel members on the mexican side who have control over them, who are profiting off of them. not only that, but then you have the human smugglers are smuggling these migrants further inland. ♪. unique. that's why they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need.

former acting ice director tom homan, the spending cause for $107 for the judiciary committee, with some of that money to be used for this, a lawful permanent status for qualified immigrants, what do you think that message is going to send? >> is going to send a message that democrats want to send as another enticement and another giveaway that they know will increase the illegal migration of the southern border. it's amazing that another crisis like that to not talk about how we secure the border, how do we slow the flow, how do we save lives and how do we stop women from being sexually assaulted by the cartel and children from dying across the river, how do we leave the border patrol in

the unprecedented crisis were dealing with how do we stop covid and immigrants coming across the country, instead they come up with a plan to offer another enticement that they know would increase numbers across the board, that's exactly the plan this is by design, open border in their feeding onto it. tom: were not hearing any of those things, here's a reaction when this part of the bill was released and announced from someone on the ground dealing with the border crisis, lieutenant christopher olivarez of the texas department of public safety. listen to this. >> there's ways coming to the country you know lawfully and having a policy developed for a pathway to citizenship but i think this way the numbers are going to increase significantly especially when they know when illegal immigrants know when they come to the u.s. they'll be a lawful citizen. and you just gonna continue to get an increase in its overwhelming.

tom: how can be more overwhelming that it is right now. >> is going to get worse, it's going to get worse when the antenna 42, it's going to get worse as more covid cases come into this country get released. i'll say this, republican senators and congressmen come out in this what network and other networks, what are they doing about it, it's time to take action not a single senator should have voted for infrastructure bill this weekend until the administration addresses the border issue, it's a humanitarian crisis, it's a national security crisis, it's a public health crisis, that should be front and center, phi was a publican center of congressmen i would not hold one meeting or one minute on preaching legislation on anything until the some administration addresses are most important topic right now on that border. that is putting american lives at risk. tom: it certainly the administration does not want to talk about. the border patrol chief is telling fox news that numbers

for july will show there's over 210,000 apprehended that the border, 20 year high, how many of those 100 thousands are spreading covid and what about the got a ways. >> there's been approximately 300,000 got a ways, how many are gang members, how many would be terrorists, how many of them have covid, you don't know even the ones that are caught, cbp border patrol is still not test for covid only one sector and the rest of the border at mcallen count on the local community to test and are not testing everybody. we know for a fact that thousands of illegal aliens have been released into the united states with covid that's not even arguable in the department came out because they know it's a factual statement, the secretary is going out tomorrow i don't know what he's going he said numerous times a border secure, what's he going down there what's he going to look at. the hypocrisy.

tom: look at some of these pictures and the conditions in one of the facilities in the rio grande valley women are literally sleeping like sardines in these images. the image doesn't really show that everything is under control down there, one on top of another, this is horrible conditions these are conditions of the trump administration got blamed for but look at the biden the administration they said things would be different and they don't look very different. tom: a humanitarian crisis of the border is worse than it was with president trump, where is aoc, where is kamala harris, they ran down to the board in the trump administration and aoc went to an empty facility screaming and yelling and women drink another toilet and everything else. where are they now, the conditions are much worse now than the trump administration but i don't see either of the progresses on the border and raising hell about that.

it's politics over common sense. tom: in the last 30 seconds, the drugs are streaming in, custom agents over 2 million, 2 tons of meth and fentanyl worth nearly $13 million in california the largest meth seizure to date. you get the resources in one area and then the coyotes and the cartels are able in the other areas to get through. >> absolutely, the cartels control the border they have family units in one area, that's where they move the drugs to gang members across the border. the border patrol already said 40 - 50% of manpower. this is what they seized. the question is how much got through that they didn't seize because only half on the border to process families. inferences over 90000 fentanyl overdoses during the biden of administration because of the

open borders, dea has clearly said 90% of fentanyl has come across the border and what is the administration doing, nothing there processing and releasing as quick as i can. tom: unbelievable. thank you as always your institutional knowledge about the security at the border is a huge asset. i am edward lawrence and for elizabeth macdonald, you're watching the fox business. that doesn't for us, have a good evening, be safe, be careful and will keep an audit on all the details in the next few days. larry: hello everyone, welcome to "kudlow", i am larry kudlow. hot on the heels of the infrastructure package, democrats successfully rushed to pass the budget resolution framework working through the voter aroma with all republican amendments and other complaints that unfortunately won't amount to a hill of beans. the final vote on the final final package was 50 -
