food, gas, rent, your mortgages. all of that is hitting you, it is hitting the economically vulnerable really hard. to this the manhunt still underway in new york city for the sunset park brooklyn subway shooter. a u-haul truck discovered five to 10 miles away going toward coney island possibly linked to the suspect. bryan llenas of fox news at that the plate is a l3 1408. the suspect a five foot five black man, possibly disguised as mta worker wear aghast mask and green reflexsive vest, a gray hooded sweatshirt as well. he set off a smoke bomb. started shooting. reports his glock jammed. had ammo magazines and. undetonated devices found. edward lawrence in washington with more. edward. reporter: liz's let's start with the horrific scene in brooklyn. the president has been briefed several times what the investigation is revealing.
6:04 pm
cell phone video shows the moments bystanders trying to help some of those gunshot victims. the video also showed the terrifying moments as the shooting happened. attorney general merrick garland has been briefed on the investigation. the fbi and atf helping but the lead belongs to the nypd. >> as the train was pulling into the station the subject put on a gas mask. he had then opened a canister that was in his bag and the car filled with smoke. after that he began shooting. reporter: now to the other big story out of the white house. the headline inflation is the highest levels we've seen since december of 1981. when you remove food and gas prices it is the highest levels we've seen since august of 1982 year-over-year. this graph shows you all you need to know regardless of the spin from the white house and their economic advisors. listen. >> this president knows that energy and food are creating real challenges for household budgets and he is doing everything he can including of course the historical release of
6:05 pm
barrels of oil from the strategic reserve, 180 million barrels over six months. reporter: white house economic advisors say they have no regrets about the spending that they have done as well as how the economy has unfolded since president biden has taken office. liz? liz: edward lawrence thanks for your report there. joining us the ranking member of house budget. he is congressman jason smith. macro trend advisors founding partner, he is mitch roschelle. good to see you both. first to you, congressman. let's get back to what happened in brooklyn, new york. cameras inside of the subway station not working. new york pays gigantic taxes. no cops on the subways because of defund police. is this where we're at? politics has our democrat leaders on their back seat. they need to put people, not politics first. why are americans being treated like a science project, like statistics in their thought experiment on what they think will help americans to keep them safe? when is this going to stop? >> that is a great question,
6:06 pm
liz. what we need to make sure, we fund police. we fund security, we protect all americans. unfortunately that is not what a lot of local municipalities are doing. you see what happened in new york just today. liz: they're not ruling out a terror attack so that is still on the table. well monitor the situation closely. mitch, now to you, the white house messaging again falling down the stairs and out the front stoop. biden is smashing the blast. this is what is going on, mitch. he is announcing a emergency waiver to sell summer ethanol gas blends year-round. we're having a grain shortage. go the same distance as regular gas. ethanol gets lower miles per gallon. ethanol ruins engines. it is widely unavailable anyway. why is this a fix? >> optically it looks like they're doing something when they have done absolutely nothing since this administration took office.
6:07 pm
every single policy move they made from runaway deficit spending to eliminating our energy independence, i could go on. i'm sure you have a list that will scroll pretty soon, has all been bad policy that has taken us down the road of inflation and it takes years to fix inflation. you mentioned it was this high when ronald reagan took office. let's remember gerald ford, two presidents earlier was trying to tackle inflation but what he did that this administration hasn't done yet, is they have, gerald ford admitted it was a problem. this administration still is pointing fingers. liz: we hear you on that. senator, congressman, to mitch roschelle's point, senator joe manchin is saying enough with the blame game, right? he is saying when is inflation going to stop? by the way with ethanol, it causes more smog. you know climate activists are really angry, congressman. there is also this. president biden and the press secretary they keep saying it is putin's price hike when gas is
6:08 pm
up 50% since biden took office. did putin approve massive inflation and money spending? did putin kill the keystone pipeline? did he shut down u.s. energy? do did he stop leasing for fossil fuel development? >> liz, the administration needs to stop blaming someone else. they need to focus on issues at hand. if you spend 7 1/2 approximately trillion dollars. they will fuel the price of inflation. inflation has risen 10.4% since joe biden has been in office. today's number was 8.5. since he has been in office talking about 10.4%. the solution this administration has spend $73 trillion more in their budget they have released in the last two weeks. they have no idea of how they're just fueling the inflation fire. they just want to continue to spend reckless government money.
6:09 pm
liz: to the congressman's point, you know, mitch, did putin ram into the system more government debt borrowing? did putin ramp up the money supply 40% over the last two years? the san francisco federal reserve says all the government action is responsible for nearly half, three percentage points of rise of inflation. it is skyrocketing under biden. is that putin's fault? >> no, it's not and the problem is what putin is doing right now is going to make it even harder to fix things. if we have a worldwide grain shortage, the cost of everything from feed for cattle to bread on the table will be expensive. listen, let's remember this, the fed's job is to combat inflation. their tool in the tool box is to raise interest rates. their tool is to stop printing money. when they do that, other economy is likely going to slow down. liz: yeah. >> so sad to say the fix for inflation is recession and no, putin didn't do that either. liz: that's what history shows. you raise rates it triggers,
6:10 pm
usually a recession. you know, congressman, democrats are in a panic. biden is underwater in the polls under key pocketbook issues, energy, the border, crime. approval rating is dropping among 18 to 30-year-olds. cbs news "gallup poll" shows this. when weigh see the rhetoric and messaging has been all over the map. what hbo's bill maher on this. >> we have problems we haven't had in a very long time like inflation. >> yes. >> certainly we have been running up the debt but not the levels that we have in recent years where we just sort of went, oh, numbers don't mean anything and now they write it like it is a dinner check. just. [laughter]. i don't know where that leads. >> we're in highly unusual conditions i think it is worth saying that. we're in the middle of a pandemic. >> we're no the middle of one and -- >> no we're not. >> it is debatable as to whether
6:11 pm
we should have have lost our [bleep] to that degree. also people say lockdowns didn't really change anything. >> yeah. that's it. lockdowns didn't change anything. lockdowns worse inned the situation. you, democrats, you ruined it. you destroyed it, you triggered the spending. former obama advisors, jason furman, larry summers, steve rattner, your spending is igniting inflation. why is this falling on deaf ears in the white house, congressman? final word. >> it is really hard to tell but you know what the american people are seeing every decision this white house has been making it is creating one crisis after another. whether the inflation crisis, the border crisis and the american people are fed up with it. the white house doesn't see that all of their decisions is creating huge crises for hard-working americans. they only care about their own political crisis. liz: congressman jason smith and mitch roschelle, thanks for joining to us night. good to have you on. we'll stay on what is going on
6:12 pm
in brooklyn. we'll give you the update. the white house, their new border narrative falling apart. a new poll show majority demand tighter security at the border. whoo isn't the white house delivering it? new questions whether nancy pelosi is getting monoclonal treatment for her covid-19 infection, a treatment the white house blocked for the states. they're optioning to ration it instead. we dig into that next on "the evening edit". but you can invest in them. at t. rowe price our strategic investing approach can help you build the future you imagine. ♪ ♪ we have to be able to repair the enamel on a daily basis. with pronamel repair toothpaste, we can help actively repair enamel in its weakened state. it's innovative. my go to toothpaste is going to be pronamel repair. this is koli. my foster fail (laughs). when i first started fostering koli i had been giving him kibble.

♪. elizabeth: okay, we still have breaking details coming in at this hour. breaking news on the shooting inside of the brooklyn subway station in sunset park. 28 people injured, 10 shot. this is serious. it happened during the morning rush hour. the subject is still at large. bryan llenas ask breaking news all day on this. doing great journalism. he is with us live on the scene. bryan, what do you got? reporter: elizabeth, good evening. all eyes are on the u-haul van that was connected to the shooter has been located just about an hour ago. we got word that the u-haul has been located. the nypd sent the bomb squad. they have arrived on scene. this u-haul is five miles away, 30 minute drive from traffic, 30 minutes from the brooklyn subway
6:17 pm
shooting took place this morning. before 8:30 a.m., a man with a gas mask, unleashed a gas canister which filled the northbound manhattan "n" train with smoke. he opened fire, hitting 10 people. five people in critical condition with gun wounds. another 18 people injured with injuries like smoke inhalation. remarkably, everyone is expected to survive. in fact we're told by sources that the gun jammed which made a bad situation, kept a bad situation from being much worse. here is a passenger who explains what it was like to be underground during this attack. >> it was scary because i didn't know what was going on. i thought somebody maybe got maybe hit or something. it was like a scary moment. everyone was packed in that little station getting out. it was very scary. reporter: panicked passengers ran for the exits. there were bloody, wounded passengers that lay on the
6:18 pm
subway platform. it was just complete chaos down there. in fact there is one video that also shows a man, could be the shooter, in between two train cars. one train car filled with smoke. another train car that is not. you can see people trying to make their way through the exit. there is no more vulnerable place in this city than being underground in a subway during an attack like this. the nypd said there is no link to terrorism as of now but they are not ruling anything out at this point in the investigation. they did find a bag afterwards. this bag, according to the "new york post" this is a photo obtained by them. inside of that bag there was a hatchet a, some gas canisters, fireworks as well as smoke grenades and gasoline. so gives you an idea perhaps that this suspect had more plans besides the attack on the 36th street station. two things, elizabeth, the security camera inside of this station according to new york city mayor eric adams
6:19 pm
malfunctioned. it is possible that all of the cameras inside of this station malfunctioned which is remarkable to think about as probably also why you have not seen a photo of this suspect described as a five foot five black man, about 180-pounds, wearing a green construction vest and a gray hoodie. so that is what we got in terms of a description. yet at this hour this man is still on the loose. elizabeth? elizabeth: bryan llenas, thanks so much for your journalism there. joining us from house small business, congressman dan meuser. your reaction to this report. new york city pays enormous taxes. we had defund the police. we don't have cops on the beat like we should. the cameras malfunctioned in the station. new yorkers, people across the nation are outraged over this. why do the democrats, people who run big cities think americans are just a rounding error, or just lab rats in their science experiment, their thought project, to what they think how the world should run when
6:20 pm
americans are screaming desperately screaming saying we need security? children ride those subway cars to go to schools. people in rush hour going to their jobs. there is no bigger violation of civil rights than somebody who is attacked innocently on a subway station or at their desk like in the twin to youers. >> you said it, liz, i like your strong commentary. my father was nypd i have had daughters who have lived in new york city on and off. it's a matter of cause and effect, you weaken law enforcement as has been done, the numbers show, you have more crime. you go easy on criminals you will have more criminals throughout our subway systems and streets. so it is probably the most important issue for quality of life and for our society. we must get far stricter. elizabeth: we got to get to this, senator rand paul, he wants to know, this is a
6:21 pm
separate subject, he wants to know if speaker pelosi is getting monoclonal antibody treatment after the white house blocked that for the states, option to ration it. is that too much to ask or should pelosi disclose that? she was vaccinated and boosted by the way. >> i know ron paul. he is a smart guy. he is a smart guy. he knows this well. if nancy pelosi wants to disclose it, it is largely up to her but look, what they are doing here is a continuation of their for me but not for thee approach. look, the blue states versus the red states, the closures versus the open, freedom versus shutdowns, the numbers are clear what the difference is here. the states in areas that have stayed open have, did far better, had no more fatalities than others. education systems were better. less depression. so the results are in.

companies with officials in ukraine and kazakhstan? watch chuck grassley on this. >> does this compromise the national security of the united states? do they have enough on them to get something out of a president of the united states? i can't answer that question and then now as you said in your intro, they're finally admitting that chuck grassley was right all along. and i don't like people disparaging my reputation as a good investigator in the senate of the united states because i do a thorough job. i follow the facts where they take me. i follow the money where they take me and it is just very concerning. if the chinese pay this kind of money, it is reasonable to, for us to expect that they expect something. elizabeth: okay. so did china expect something in return and what was it?
6:30 pm
what could it have gotten? >> certainly. i mean look, they, the evidence shows that millions of dollars went from a chinese company called cefc to hunter biden and his associates. tony bobulinski, who was the business partner, actually made references to the big guy and pulled out some of these emails. the big guy he said was joe biden. he was getting 10%. why aren't we investigating this fully? even left-wing type of pundits like bill maher, look this din fit the democrat narrative but it is time to investigate this. where did this money go? what was the quid pro quo that the biden family got? they got a lot of money. they got influence. what did china get from this? that is a really good question. why aren't we investigating this? i think it is tremendous that senators grassley and johnson dug into this thing a long time ago. exposed this, miranda devine,

campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you. elizabeth: you know, mollie, now that i see it, listen to it again, is she talking about herself or is she talking about trump? >> you know, that is a good question. hillary clinton has long claimed that the 2016 election was stolen from her. something former president jimmy carter said as well. pretty much the entire media complex, the entire democrat party said throughout the trump administration that the 2016 election was stolen. in fact i think the only election you're not allowed to question is the 2020 election, even though that election was unlike any election that we have ever seen previously in terms of how it was administered. but yeah, they definitely pushed that narrative for quite some time. elizabeth: but mollie, she has no prove or evidence, right? she is not suggesting any. >> it's actually quite the opposite. the most major meddling that we saw in the 2016 election was
6:38 pm
done by this hillary clinton secretly-funded, secretly orchestrated operation to set a false narrative, one that continued throughout the trump administration that was this false narrative that trump had colluded with russia to steal the the election that was something her campaign secretly bout and paid for. that caused so much damage in the 2016 election but throughout the entire administration of trump. that was something that, it caused global problems. it caused prodesmick problems t was done by her campaign and the democrat national committee. elizabeth: mollie, it created severe credibility damage for the doj and the fbi. we talked to numerous fbi officials are livid over this, got politicized, put into the d.c. office, not the new york office where they could have done the shoe leather. it was trump organization they were talking about trump here in new york. let's watch former attorney general william barr. he was with us last week on what you were just talking about. let's listen to this, watch.
6:39 pm
>> why did the fbi act the way they did? there was such a flimsy basis, really no basis for them to go after the trump campaign. even as they learned this information was bad and could easily be russian disinformation, they continued. this was a campaign ploy to put out scurrilous information about trump and then had the fbi investigate it, then leak that right before the election, sort of the ultimate corruption of democracy, to have the people in charge of the coercive tools of the country, national security police power, use it to choose the leader of the country. elizabeth: mollie, do you hear that? the ultimate corruption of democracy. what he is saying is the clinton campaign did sort of like a hit-and-run. they put information inside of the fbi, doj, didn't want their fingerprints on it, in order to attack trump when the fbi knew early on, they were told early on that this could be russian
6:40 pm
disinformation. they knew that from the get-go in the summer of 2016. that is according to declassified footnotes in the doj inspector general report that chuck grassley and senator ron johnson got declassified. >> that is exactly right. it is one thing for political operatives to try to do a dirty trick but for the doj or the fbi willing to participate in something they should have known from the get-go was ludicrous. they were given reason after reason to know it was not something legitimate. instead they weaponized this, used it as a means to start a sprawling investigation that turns into a special counsel investigation, that hamstrings the trump administration. what this really was all about was a refusal of many people in elite circles to accept the result of 2016 election. to accept someone like donald trump could run for office and gain favor among voters. they were willing to throw out
6:41 pm
any norm or standard they had to subvert the election or the administration. it's a horrible thing what the fbi and doj did. there needs to be a massive cleanup. you see that with the witmer thing that happened last month, too many fbi agents were involved in the plotting orchestration of this alleged plot of governor witmer instead of letting our fbi investigate it. elizabeth: they didn't have, "crossfire hurricane," they were not getting the evidence to support their narrative you know, it was trump-russia collusion t was winding down. they said we can use general michael flynn as a proxy to keep it open. it was sort of unspooled. that is what bill barr is saying in his book, they kept trying and pushing, and pushing when they didn't have the goods. when james comey, james clapper, peter strzok, lisa page would admit we didn't have the evidence, that there was no there there. your final word.
6:42 pm
>> every step of the way there was no there there. you said earlier there were good fbi agents and good doj officials upset about what happened. unfortunately there were far too few. many people should have put a stop to this. too few were willing to stand up to say this is un-american and dangerous to our constitution. elizabeth: mollie hemingway, come back soon and come back on. good to see you. >> would love to. elizabeth: great writer, poolly hemingway, terrific writer. read her stuff. now this story, black lives matter vowing transparency of the what happened. they won't show the details why it bought a 6 million-dollar mansion in california using charitable donations. if it is so aboveboard why did black lives matter hide this deal in an off-balance sheet company? this is group behind the summer riots and defund the police. that is next on "the evening edit".
