are paying right now. companies are seeing record high 10% inflation over the past 12 months for stuff they need to make the products to sell. this intersects with the invasion of ukraine. china is very clear it will not stop any economic activity with russia. china offering u.s. a warning, a chinese foreign ministry spokesperson saying we strongly urge u.s. not to undermine the interests of china and other parties when handling relations with russia. china and russia will continue to conduct normal economic and trade cooperation in the spirit of mutual respect, equality, mutual benefits. i asked directly the white house press secretary about this. talking about red lines what u.s. need to see for that breaking of sanctions? >> i understand your question. i'm not going to outline it from here. we watch closely. the world is watching closely. and our national security advisor was clear. there will be consequences should they, should they violate our sanctions. reporter: senator marsha

dependent on china. we allowed it to happen over the years. i've been arcing for years we need to be less dependent on china. we need to reshore our companies. get operations back here in america. elizabeth: we have supply chain chaos now hitting, coming out of china and russia. >> yeah. >> federal reserve, we don't know if they will raise rates more than the quarter point they're talking about but why is the president talking about executive orders on climate change? >> he has run out of options here. he tried to pass the massive "build back better" plan, the american public doesn't want it, jamming another five trillion dollars of experiences on the backs of america and on the climate issue they have been wrong from the very start of this administration. joe biden from the first day began a war on the oil and gas industry frankly precipitated much of the disaster we're encountering right now. if you think about it, the price increase he precipitated in america, when he stopped the keystone pipeline, he stopped drilling on american lands, cut off access to anwr, that price

domestic gone around the world. biggest wind full to vladmir putin and russia. biden is funding the war machine for russia against ukraine at the same time we're trying to stop it. elizabeth: california's demand for electricity could double in 23 years. california is phasing out gasoline cars. buildings are pushed off natural gas. stressed out power grid hit by rolling blackouts. power grid is fueled by oil and gas, 2/3 of the electricity comes from that. the pressure on the california grid could rise 90% as a flood of electric cars and more hit the road. anything fossil fuel related, stoves, water heaters, will get plowed out, a study given to california regulators by consulting firm energy and environmental economics. so why is the white house, energy secretary, pete buttigieg why are they touting electric cars not talking about that part of the story?

again and again they are misleading the american people about this. >> massively misleading, so myopic, so shortsighted. it is almost a religion, theology to these people. they keep pushing towards the green solution when they don't have the bridge to get there the infrastructure is not in place to support this. the alternative fuel sources are not there yet they have decided to wage war on the oil and gas industry from day one in this administration and they put america in a terrible bind. elizabeth: watch the president again blame putin's price hike. prices have consistently been rising since march of 2021 after they passed trillions of dollars in spending. watch the president blame inflation started last year on a war that pegahn in february of this year. watch a democrat congresswoman, americans if you're upset with president biden and rising gas you're un-american. watch this. president biden: make no mistake, the current spike in gas prices is largely the fault of vladmir putin. there is nothing to do with the american rescue plan. >> right now in the last two weeks this is putin.

you should be blaming putin if anybody for this and to not blame putin first of all is denying reality and second, frankly i think it is un-american. >> let's show the key battleground states hit hardest by inflation. we're talking florida now seeing it, georgia, arizona, west coast, so you're un-american if you complain about it, and don't blame putin. >> they're denying numbers and facts with all of this. my home state of tennessee wee drive to work. this is being felt by every american. the top line numbers, 7.9% inflation which is the highest we've seen in 40 years, i don't think actually reflects reality most americans see right now. certainly for those of us who drive. biden administration war on oil and gas started it. the way to fix it joe biden come out tomorrow saying we'll reopen the keystone xl pipeline and drill in america. he would rather work with killers than work with american drill years interesting flip,

sir. nancy pelosi, the white house again, they cite the nobel laureates saying spending doesn't increase inflation. that is a talking point, right? those experts are talking about investments for long-term inflation. depends on which type of government spending and which investments you make. again and again we hear them citing experts, those pandemic experts signing a letter saying no lab escaped. dozen of intelligence community members derided hunter's laptop classic russian disinformation. they can cite experts but when you see what is going on the truth comes out. university of michigan consumer sentiment falling to 11-year low. the american people see what is going on. they see it. >> thank you for being a voice to the americans because mainstream media is not. you're helping get the truth across. i appreciate the plaudit. elizabeth: i'm flattered about that.

i really don't like to talk about that. the other story that came across, i appreciate that, senator, thank you for that. saudi arabia, did you see the story? saudi arabia is in active talks with china to price its oil sales to china in china's currency? that is a dent to the u.s. dollar's dominance. there is no way that the u.s. drops out as the world's reserve currency. do you see that happening anytime soon? >> no. elizabeth: this is kind of rattling the cages though what saudi arabia is doing? >> i think that is exactly what it is. it is cage rattling. china is making a lot of moves right now to try to shift the status quo. i don't think it is going to work. i think they stepped up and supported vladmir putin, something they deeply regret at this point. putin's argument to china this would be over in two or three days. it is 20 plus day grind. not turning out the way china planned. nato is stronger and united more than ever before. we need to push back on china. the world is looking at china hard. elizabeth: senator hagerty, thank you for your kind and generous words. good to have you on.

elizabeth: okay, we've got a ukraine invasion, a war there, americans nationwide saying bring down inflation. that is on the minds of most americans. so why are house democrat focusing instead on climate change? hillary vaughn with the story in washington. hillary. reporter: good evening, liz. well president biden dined with wealthy donors last night at a fund-raiser for the dnc. he said the fix for high gas prices is ditching gas and going green, saying this quote, when everything from the price of gasoline to heating your home goes up it is a subject at the dinner table. it's real and so that's why my

proposal advances aggressive climate goals. 89 house democrats sent a letter to the president yesterday asking him to bring the climate part of "build back better" back to life to lower prices at the pump. illinois democratic congressman sean kasten saying this restarting negotiations with climate action is the clearest if not the only path forward to deliver tangible results to the american people. other progressives are pushing for executive action from the president instead and biden is on board, telling those donors last night he will do what he can on his own without waiting for congress to act on climate.g there. joining us now, we so delighted to have on the though cathy mcmorris rogers, republican leader on house energy and congress. great to have you on, congresswoman. first your reaction to hillary

vaughn's report. >> the democrats are putting their political agenda head of when is best for hard-working american families. gas prices were going up before russia and ukraine. it hurts everyone when they go to the trump. i talked to the truck driver who is not sure what his future will be with rising gas prices. what we're seeing a doubling down on their political agenda instead of what is best for hard-working american families, what is best for our economy, our competitiveness what is best for our security. national security should be at the forefront of our decision making right now. energy security is national security. energy is everything. >> congresswoman, you bring up main street america, let's listen to these workers in phillip, south dakota. they're still dealing with the economic loss of the president canceling the keystone pipeline. watch this. >> biden and his administration ran on "build back better" and that is from where i'm standing that is, that's crap. i think his new slogan should be, butchering booming business.

>> he has been one disaster after another as far as i'm concerned. >> can't stand him. >> whoa, tough words. your reaction congresswoman? >> we should be, we should be saying yes to american energy. since day one president biden and the democrats have been shutting down american energy. they shut down the keystone pipeline. they have been saying, they're going to shut down oil and natural gas, even though it is the cleanest in the world here in the united states of america. we should be saying yes to north american energy. the keystone pipeline was thousands of jobs as well as us being able to import from our friend and ally canada versus russia. what we saw in the last year was under the biden administration russia imports of crude oil had increased, increased nearly 25%. again they're putting their critical agenda ahead of what is best for america. we need to flip the switch. elizabeth: okay. >> energy dominance is so important. it is important to families, it

is important to our economy. we cannot be a diplomatic power without being a military power, we cannot be a military power without being a economic power and energy is foundational to all of that. elizabeth: sarah bloom raskin withdrawing her name, that was the president's nominee to the federal reserve, she would have violated the fed's dual mandate and lower prices because she is anti-fossil fuels. that violates the dual mandate there. why is biden, why was the president nominating that person? can you talk to us more about this effort by republicans in the house to find out if russia is meddling again, funding climate activists here in the u.s. to undercut u.s. energy independence? what evidence is there of that? >> yes. republicans are leading an investigation as to whether or not united states environmental groups have been influenced through president putin's dark money to shut down american energy. when i visited the ukraine in 2015 with the energy and commerce committee the

ukrainians as well as nato warned us that putin, president putin and russia was funding the ngos, non-government organizations as well as other environmental groups that were opposed to fracking in europe. today europe gets 40% of its natural gas from russia. it is what funds his economy and ultimately his military. and we are asking questions of u.s. environmental groups due to a suspicious foundation in san francisco and their ties to this foundation as to whether putin also has been influencing american environmental groups to shut down american energy. elizabeth: congresswoman, so, russia is using reportedly a shell company that is connected to russia oil interests donating tens of millions of dollars to the san francisco group called sea change. they're giving out money to u.s. based environmental organizations at the same time. remember obama official fiona

hill? she basically two years ago said fracking, fracking hurts putin. hill said putin has repeatedly made clear fracking is a great threat to russia. so there is that too. environmentalists also stopped fracking in, climate change activists stopped fracking and energy development in europe. you saw that in germany, france and the netherlands. so climate activists stopped that there. russia believed to be funding climate activists in europe as well, no? >> yes. the, these environmental groups are the ones that are opposed to fracking, opposed to pipelines, opposed, they are opposed to american energy and they are ignoring the fact that it has been american technology that through fracking that has unleashed this shale revolution and has provided natural gas, not only for america but for others around the world. it has been the reason that america has been leading in

bringing down carbon emissions. now we're doing it the american way with american ingenuity and technology, solving problems but it hasment we're leading the world. natural gas prices have come down and this is, we should be exporting natural gas right now. this administration is shutting down the export permits. they are saying no to us being able to export natural gas into, not to ukraine but eastern europe so they wouldn't be dependent upon putin and continuing to fund his war chest and war machine. elizabeth: stand stand up to pun with u.s. energy. that is the message from congresswoman cathy mcmorris rogers. great to spend time with you. come back soon. new details surfacing in special counsel john durham's probe of the botched trump-russia investigation. could more criminal charges be on the way? that is ahead on "the evening edit." >> you have got the clinton campaign is peddling false

to the fbi. here is the debate, conspiracy charges. you know conspiracy is in the law. no law about collusion but conspiracy. two or more people knowingly defrauding the u.s. government, falsely planting false information inside the fbi and doj to go after trump. that is the debate, jim, what do you think? >> yeah i think durham has been chugging along. obviously these indictments necessarily make you look at the possibility of other people being indicted. there are speaking indictments. they talk about a lot of conduct outside of false statements. we have to keep our eye open to see if it passes through the political test through the attorney general. john durham has to answer the boss of doj that will be a real integrity test when vips are in harm's way. people high up in the fbi administration including all the way up to comey and high up in the hillary clinton campaign side. this thing could reach very high

heights. elizabeth: politicized outcome when it was political to begin with? former fbi officials, former fbi officials outraged how politicized fbi got. the fbi will act on probable cause, right? many people are saying throw the book at hillary clinton and her team. charge them with racketeering and conspiracy. watch a.g. barr with martha mack on fox news. watch this. >> i do think people will be held accountable. i think he will, i hope, that there will be more indictments but also i think there will be a report and an accounting through a report. >> criminal charges? >> i think, you know be possibly criminal charges. elizabeth: so he is saying possibly criminal charges. your thoughts there? >> i think he is being optimistic. if he was still the attorney general he might have great

cause for that. he is basically right to have the outlook that john durham pursues evidence and the evidence has been very damning and strong from the outside so far but we have to see how it plays out in court. i think there is a chance he gets very high up in the hillary rodham clinton campaign. maybe all the way up to her. fbi leadership who was politicized has a lot to be fearful of with john durham. political test if attorney general garland will let this stuff go through. will he try to negate where durham goes? elizabeth: robert mueller didn't find this. didn't find what hillary clinton team was alleging. durham said computer expert rodney joffe exploited internet traffic information at trump tower, president trump's central park west apartment building and executive office building. believed he was working on the federal contract with darpa for security. that information was given by

michael sussman, we know the story. that is the story. he pleads innocent. darpa denies a role of the dnc hack in computers about russia. this is out in the federal lift, special counsel settle durham team asking a clinton computer expert about this that pro was working on the trump-russia collusion narrative. darpa, you and i talked about this. pentagon's darpa, powerful agency, is still in the story, jim. >> it is in the story but not necessarily accomplice. >> right. >> i think the big issue that might play out in the sussman trial in may whether darpa was a knowing participant or people with access to contracts and access to data were misusing it for political purposes. that is the way the sussman indictment reads right now. we'll see if darpa proper is in harm's way as much as these academics were. elizabeth: jim, you and i talked about it, take out the names trump, take out the names

clinton, take out the obama, take out all the names, when you see what happens using powers of their federal police officers who go after a political rival. you have to throw the book at them. it can't just be process crimes likelying to the fbi. >> yeah. i mean it feels very third world, right? to have the machinery of the fbi leadership willfully and willing taking false information to intrude into the political process. i mean that is, my heart from the criminal justice years i've spent on both sides of the aisle goes back to that issue of the fbi's complicity is a big point. elizabeth: jim trusty, great to have you back on. come back soon. okay, this story today, russia sanctions the president, white house officials, president's son hunter biden. we have more bad news for hunter biden. the state department agrees to give hunter biden's correspondence, emails and texts to "the new york times." the update on the investigations into the president's son ahead on "the evening edit".

elizabeth: joining us fox news contributor, former utah congressman, jason chaffetz. great to have you back on. your reaction to russia sanctioning the president, press secretary, hillary clinton and biden's son hunter biden? what were your thoughts when you heard that? >> i thought it was going to happen. look, the sanctions went from the united states against russia. russia will do things. they confiscated airplanes evidently. they will provide sanctions but hunter biden's problems go well beyond anything that has to do with just russia. elizabeth: let's talk about this, your take on this story. a lawyer for "the new york times" says "the times" reached an agreement with the state department to get emails, correspondence, possibly text messages involving hunter biden, tied to hunter biden's business dealings. the disclosures could start coming out april 28th. it is about communications, emails sent or received between

the u.s. state department and the embassy in romania. >> yeah. this romanian deal that hunter biden was, is alleged to have been involved with is it really shady. it is the end of the obama-biden administration. you have a corrupt person there in romania who is accused of crimes, getting a piece of property at a sub rate, that he shouldn't have, and he thought he could lean on the united states to help him get out of it. he leans on hunter biden. hunter biden says you need an attorney. that attorney happens to be louis freeh, former fbi director. fbi director gets a book of business. the former fbi director deposits $100,000 into the account of joe biden's grandkids in a trust. i mean this is one of the most outrageous stories there is. so "the new york times" sues. the state department to get those emails. they shouldn't have to sue them. but they're prevailing, there is an agreement that the state department still negotiating the

deal, march 25th, we'll know the specifics, they're supposedly going to turn over the documents but why is it that joe biden's grandkids are profiting $100,000 while he is vice president of the united states to try to get some guy out of jail in romania. this one stinks to high heaven. elizabeth: jason, reminds us of what happened with the chinese energy conglomerate officials giving a credit card to hunter biden's uncle, reportedly james biden and his wife to go on 100,000-dollar shopping free. there was reports that hunter biden getting a diamond for payment from a chinese conglomerate, cfc official. jewelry like that is usually involved in money laundering. there are concerns about that. getting back to the romanian story. you're right, it is the second term of obama, 2015 to 2019. also about the improper use of federal government resources by private citizens like hunter biden and the possible evasion of the foreign agents

registration act, foreign lobbyist act. we know hunter biden was using, and his team was using off-balance sheet shell companies to take the cash flow into the off-balance sheet shell companies to avoid registering under f-ara which was used to go after general michael flynn. we know hunter biden took nearly two dozen flights on air force two for overseas business deals. he is in trouble here? what do you think of this? "the times" is on the case? >> well, look, you have hunter biden with china. hunter biden with russia. hunter biden with mexico. hunter biden with romania. you keep going down the list, ukraine obviously. i mean, the way he used the biden family name to cash in on business. what "the new york times" is on, what is imperative here, what was the interaction of the state department? if you work for the state department and daddy is the vice president of the united states of america you put that person in a terrible position. so what "the times" is looking

at, what we should all look at, what should have full exposure is, how was the state department used? what were their concerns? what did they see going in -- romania is one of our greatest allies, greatest partners. i went and visited with the president of romania, great ally. they got a deal with yahoo! and hunter biden and got the guy out of deal. it just stinks. elizabeth: jason chaffetz, always trust you to go right at it. great to have you on. thanks for spending time, jason chaffetz. >> thank you. elizabeth: the rnc is touting labor department data, guess what, during the lockdowns, what is going on the last two years republican-led states led way when it comes to economic recovery. we're bringing on south dakota congressman does at this -- dusty johnson, he is a great guest. will this wake-up call be seen in d.c.? the story next.

elizabeth: look who is back, south dakota congressman dusty johnson. we love having you on. the rnc releasing labor department data. republican led states are leading the charge across the country. 15 of the top 20 are republican-led states. lowest joblessness in the country, 17 of the top 20. we've seen the data time and again. you've been living through the pandemic and shutdowns that killed 22 million jobs. time and again you see this come. what is going on? why is the learning curve so steep when it comes to lessons learned in the pandemic. >> you're saying it exactly right, liz. the reality this recession ended are two years ago. we have so many democratic led states with policies that discourage work. we have 27-year-old man, able-bodied living in so many democratically controlled states, you could be on liheap,

tanf, there is no work requirement in any of these states. it makes no sense to me. in republican states there is policies a culture of telling people, listen, let's get back to normal. number of new cases are 95% lower than they were at the peak. come on, this is the time for normal. elizabeth: to your point the six states with the highest job growth in the country run by republicans. top 10, republican legislatures. you know the shutdowns, we just talked about it, 22 million jobs destroyed. we're still four million jobs short versus prepandemic. all republican led states recovered 2/3 of the jobs. the president keeps saying i created 6 million jobs. like the rooster taking credit for the sun coming up. shut down was over, restrictions lifted, yeah, you will have economic activity. >> you can't claim to create new jobs that you're resurrecting jobs you killed.

covid was a real thing. too many americans lost their lives. reality so many shutdowns whether of schools or communities, so many of these policies that supposedly were to help people have moved us back. we have got to have leadership like we're getting from these republican governors, that say it loudly and clearly, now is the time to build more prosperous communities rather than living in fear. elizabeth: okay. we've got this. the president reports, coming in, he will do an executive action on climate change. we've got more than 80 democrats in the house saying, push your biden agenda, "build back better" when it comes to climate. we have this story, congressman. california has been warned regulators there warned you going full-on electric, you flooding the zone with only electric cars, no gasoline cars, outlawing fossil fuels for your water heater, for buildings, cannot be run by nat-gas, you will collapse the power grid. this will happen in 23 years. they will double the load on the

power grid in california. congressman, it is already suffering from rolling blackout as we see it right now happening. >> yeah. i used to be a utility regulator in south dakota and i understood the importance of balancing safety, reliability and affordability. well now, you know, my friends on the other side of the aisle, they want to airdrop in a fourth priority, which is environmentally friendly, have it trump all of the others. it does not make any sense. if we really cared about the environment. we really cared about carbon, we would unlock the unbelievable power and potential of the north american energy sector. our oil is 23% cleaner than russias. then we put our allies in the position of looking to russia for energy rather than from us. secretary granholm said russian natural gas is the dirtiest natural gas in the history of the world. our stuff is much cleaner f we care about carbon, let's unlock that stuff. elizabeth: natural gas powers

the electric grid. 2/3 of the electric power grid is powered by fossil fuels, oil and gas. you will need a lot of oil and gas to have electric cars. if you want to plug the cars into the power grid in california, the power grid in california will need oil and gas, congressman. you're final word. >> if we care about renewables, wind brought on to the grid, the wind does not always glow. you have to have natural gas to back up the wind power. president biden needs to adopt all the above energy strategy. the fact he hasn't shows he is not serious about it. elizabeth: congressman, come back soon. this story giving great concern to law enforcement. drug cartels using social media to sell dangerous drugs like fentanyl to teenagers who can buy it on the internet with their smartphones. that is next on "the evening edit." >> they don't made it clear they don't want any interference with

the flood of illegal but you can invest in them. at t. rowe price immigration i had been giving koli kibble. it never looked like real food. with the farmer's dog you can see the pieces of turkey. it smells like actual food. as he's aged, he's still quite energetic and youthful. i really attribute that to diet. get started at longlivedogs.com

outmanned and outgunned, we need to make sure they have the technology in a secure border to do their job. this is keeping americans safe, fundamental to our communities if we don't have safety and security, what do we have? liz: the president is violating the law by not even americans safe keeping an open bar soap fentanyl has been seized at the border to kill more than 700 million people, twice the u.s. population, that report is coming in. >> not only fentanyl, while over 2 million apprehensions of illegal immigrants at our southern border, we will approach to an a half million by the summer. when we say enough is enough? with been asking questions of the administration and why i called secretory america's resignation, a true void and leadership at the department of homeland security and the white house. liz: we hear you biden care, a dea hearing a special one in the state of new hampshire, a dea

criminal through a seattle woman, 62 years old through her down a subway stairs and that the shooting spree of homeless people in d.c., a serial killer so that's going on. >> this is a predictable result of soft on crime rhetoric and soft on crime policies and we've seen this over the country with defense, we need to defend our police, not defund them and request call for major changes in law enforcement and make sure they have the tools they need to do their job. i rode around in lynn county with sheriff's deputies on monday, i saw firsthand the challenges they are facing and doing their jobs. it's about they are fighting to keep our communities safe and not only in our backyards but it's at the border. liz: if republicans take back control of congress, how are you going to push back on defund the police and border? >> given the resources they need to make sure borders secure and enforcing policies, let's build
