at an elementary school in uvalde, texas, that left 19 kids and two teachers dead. authorities say the 18-year-old suspect who was shot and killed by police posted photos of guns on social media. they say he also posted that he shot his grandmother and was quote, going to school to shoot at an elementary school. authorities say the teenager bought two ar style rifles days before the attack. motive remains unclear. meanwhile gubernatorial candidate beto o'rourke this afternoon confronting governor greg abbott during a live press conference. we'll have more on that heated confrontation straight ahead. as president biden signs an executive order he says promotes police accountability. critics say the plan will make it harder for police to arrest criminals as the u.s. endures a violent crime spike. lucas tomlinson has the very latest details from the white house. lucas? reporter: good evening, david.

president biden just wrapping up his remarks outlining his vision for police reform. president biden: it's a measure what we can do to together to heal the very soul of this nation, to address profound fear and trauma, exhaustion, particularly black americans have experienced for generations. reporter: a few highlights from the executive order which only applies to federal officers, not state or local police. it creates a new national database of mismisconduct. mandates wearing of body crams. bans use of check hold unless deadly force is authorized. issued a law earn forcement agency can succeed with staffing shortage and without experience and expertise of senior law enforcement officers. morale plagues many agencies, harming recruit initiatives and urging early retirement. "fox news poll" shows 454% of the country favors tougher

penalties for gun crime to reduce violence. 33% want to tighten gun restrictions. president biden courages state governors to spend federal funds ahead of summer when crime typically surges. david: lucas tomlinson, thanks for that. the executive order is a fall back position after congress failed to agree on reforms that were labeled the george floyd justice in policing act. let's talk to iowa congressman mariannette miller-meeks and former nypd lieutenant darren porcher thanks for being here. congressman before we look at the executive order, show you, get your reaction to a political confrontation that took place during a presser on the texas shooting. let me roll tape, get your reaction. roll it. >> get out of here. this isn't the place to talk this over. >> this is totally predictable -- >> sir, you're out of line. sir, you're out of line. sir, you're out of line.

please leave this auditorium. >> [inaudible]. >> i can't believe you're a sick son after [bleep] come to a deal like this to make a political thing. david: congressman what do you make of political candidate using the horrible shooting when it comes to a political platform, for statements and political shots at governor? >> a failing candidate desperate to get media attention to prop up their failing campaign. there are families hurting. there are sisters and brothers that are hurting. there is a school system around community hurting. i'm from texas originally. i lived not too far from uvalde texas. i know that area. the people are deeply concerned, and deeply in pain and a recognition of what these families are going through what is most important to all of us right now to get them assistance and care they need. to address the mental health issues i think reflective in some of the postings of this

individual who created and perpetrated this horrific crime. david: lieutenant porcher, there were much more important stuff going on at that press conference. details what happened. lieutenant, i'm wondering some of the details were kind of shocking to us. most disturbing to me was that the notion that the school was in a lockdown and the shooter still got in. was that a shock to you as well? >> it was a problem to me because when we think of responding officers, one of the first things that you want to do is, you want to neutralize the threat. it took responding officers 30 minutes to neutralize the shooter. that is unacceptable. we train police officers year on end how to interdict these threats of active shooters. we have these active shooter drills for the purpose of protecting the public and unfortunately it didn't happen in time and it manifested into numerous children and teachers being killed as a result. david: congresswoman, a lot of

people said one of the things we could do is just have one secure entrance to our schools. i know it is an extraordinary precaution to have to take but that is apparently where we have come in our society right now. is something like that conceivable? >> well, we certainly have had that in our local schools here at least where i live. so i remember going through a single entrance and signing in at the school before i could go to visit with a teacher or parent teacher conference. and that is years ago. so that was over a decade ago when i was doing this at our local high school. certainly it can be done. it is not a complicated thing to know who is coming in and out of a school, especially a elementary school. we want our children to be safe. i think it is something that can easily be readily done. david: lieutenant, i want to switch to the president's new presidential order, executive

order something that couldn't be done in congress. it shares some aspects of what congress wanted to pass, which does put more onus on police. and many people say this is not the time for that. i mean police have a lot of handcuffs if you will excuse the expression that prevents them from catching the bad guys as they would want to. do you think this is the right time for an executive order like this? >> i am in complete disagreement in connection with this being the right time to introduce these reforms. we all want quick, essentially policing in the united states, no matter what city you're in. however you need to pick the time. i think that president biden is using this as a platform to in connection with politics because he is, he clearly sees that the democratic party is going to lose in the midterms. it goes back to how we better our policing. we need more resources and not less. it is unfortunate he is introducing a strategy that

doesn't appear to work at this point in time. david: congresswoman, what amazes me about this administration on so many issues, not only make sense in terms of policy but don't make political sense either. going into an election, you know that republicans, i'm sure this will be part of your platform going. >> election, the country is not as safe as it used to be. we're giving too much leeway to the criminals and not enough safety for the innocent. this executive order kind of plays into that description? >> to me it just shows how tone deaf the biden administration his. when american citizens concerned about rising crime, skyrocketing crime, homicides, burglaries, carjacking, san francisco they can get away with almost any crime because the police no even if they arrest someone their attorney will not prosecute that crime so people are very concerned about their safety. they're very concerned about rising crime. and so the president comes out

with an executive order. let me just say that creates even more uncertainty because even though this applies to federal law enforcement they want to push it down to state and local. our governor and our legislature and i as part of that legislature, we passed policing reform in iowa two years ago. so that can be done on a state level basis but another president can, you know, overturn this executive order. so this should be passed through congress. both parties should work together to do it, but the american public is focused on rising crime. i've supported, i'm could sponsor of congressman's bill to put more police out into the community. that is what people want to know. david: lieutenant, there is also another bothersome thing, ag, attorney general garland, came out with a memo on friday of last week, saying that there is going to be more executive oversight, federal oversight of what police do in local communities, suggesting that

they can even override decisions by police if they happen to be in the same vicinity. does it help police at all to do their job when you have this extra layer of the oversight from people that aren't even from your area? >> i'm a firm proponent in oversight into these law enforcement but at the same token when it becomes excessive that is when it becomes counterproductive. we've had these consent decrease that have been driven towards these police departments and all they do he is cost us extra money. we need more resources, not less. david: i wish we would worry more about protecting the innocent. instead of protecting criminals. everybody has rights when arrested but it seems like we're focusing on one end of that equation. congresswoman, lieutenant porcher, thanks for being here. good to see you both. we're still dealing with record gas price thanks largely to

president biden. he refuses to take any responsibility, pushing his clean energy agenda as though it has nothing to do with rising prices. when will he realize that is the quick fix? we take that on coming next.

♪. david: the white house is draining your wallet. president biden's quote actually bragging about a quote, costly, incredible transition to clean energy still facing a lot of harsh criticism. reporter hillary vaughn in d.c. with more on that. reporter: good evening, david. well, this incredible transition president biden is talking about doesn't feel incredible for millions of americans who rely on gas. biden says the pain at the pump is all a part of his ambitious agenda to move people away from fossil fuels. it is americans who are paying for it. republicans say president biden's policies have driven up the cost of gas. >> they have sent signal after signal to the capital markets that fossil fuel investment is to be strongly discouraged. without capital investment you're not going to have those new drills. reporter: in addition to killing keystone xl on day one and ending new drilling on federal lands in the beginning of his administration president biden

added more and more red tape that has strangled the oil and gas industry. at the same time driving sub sy sy -- subsidies to clean energy hand discouraging wall street from investing in oil and gas. president biden says releasing oil from the strategic reserve would be a quick fix at the time but that has failed to bring down prices. he tapped the spr in november. since then oil is up 40%. diesel is up 58%. david, only people that feel like the transition is indeed incredible are people driving electric vehicles. david: that is true. they're well-off. hillary, thank you very much. record gas prices, now inflation and real concerns about food shortages not just because of russia's invasion of ukraine but mostly because of fertilizer jumping in costs because its major ingredient is a fossil

fuel. that is what president biden's incredible transition energy plans have gotten us. today's national gas energy report ahead of memorial day weekend we're seeing a big jump in prices. i guess we'll get that up in a minute. there it is. welcome to the show fox news contributor, senior market analyst at price futures group, phil flynn. great to see you. >> thanks, david. david: let me talk about food shortages because they are directly related to this war on fossil fuels. fertilizer went up 80%, not after russia's invasion of ukraine, but in 2021, long before russia's invasion of ukraine, it went up 80%. since 2022, by the way, of course it was at the end of, end of january, beginning of february where we had the invasion it is up 30%. 80% increase in 2021. that is because the main ingredt in fertilizer is natural gas. there is war on fossil fuel

including natural gas. that is caused the cost of fertilizer to jump, is it not? >> in fact you look at the price of natural gas today it went up to $9 a million metric btu that is the highest price we've seen since the financial crisis in 2008. that is scary in of itself. when we talk about fertilizer, with high input costs bad enough for countries that can afford it. where i really feel bad a lot of poor countries won't be able to afford it. that is going to be leading to starvation and other things. the sad part of this, dave, it is avoidable. national gas -- [inaudible] federal ban on drilling. because about 20% of our natural gas production comes from federal lands. so when we shut that down, the wells pleat, production doesn't go where it should be, when that

doesn't happen, the supplies are lowest level -- [inaudible] david: we should mention by the way, wheat prices are affected obviously by the war in ukraine. russia and ukraine combined make up 25%, 24, 25% of the world's wheat production. so that does have an effect but wheat prices, like fertilizer, had their biggest jump in 2021, another 80% rise in 2021. now you're in chicago. you deal mostly with energy. but you know a lot of traders who trade in food products and they must, they have seen this wheat price increase for a long time, long before russia went into ukraine? >> they have. dave, i'm down on the board of trade floor in the green room. believe it or not i trade soybeans and ethanol and all of those things and all of these are being impacted by bad energy policy. you can't make a story to change this because at the end of the day when you look at the input

costs across the board, just to plant grains, right? you have to put diesel fuel in the tractors. you have to use natural gas to make the fertilizer. and when you restrict the supplies of that, and those prices go up. it goes to the cost of food and the production of food which is going to be lower than it would have been, you know, if it was easy to get those supplies and -- cheap. david: biden is willing to accept this incredible transition as he calls it as a cost of dealing with global warming, et cetera but i don't think most americans are, do you? >> no. but i think it is incredible that he finally took responsibility for it openly, right? you know -- [inaudible]. our policies have nothing to do with this, drilling bans, pipelines, nothing to see here. and at the same time talking about natural gas prices, record highs, this is the same president that promised our

natural gas supply to europe. it's crazy. david: yeah. so many of his moves keep making things worse. now, the biden administration says it is not ruled out export curbs to ease fuel prices. now we know that their release of the reserves, massive release of our petroleum reserves have not done anything to bring down the price of oil. i don't think this would ease fuel prices either, do you? >> it would make it worse. it is a total misunderstanding how global energy market works. listen, the export ban is like shutting barn door after the horse has left because wee already exported our entire spr to other countries, right? david: yeah. >> now we'll be block being blocking exports replacing with [inaudible]. now we're telling countries like india, south korea, stop paying

for oil from russia while we keep sending it to them. david: yeah. by the way, very quickly, you've got a scoop that the saudis despite the fact they're ticked off at us, there is a delegation from the biden administration going to see the saudi arabians to pump more oil to lower prices. they have been ineffective any other method to lower prices. will they have any effect in this bid? >> i don't know but i will tell you this, this is a total reversal of policy from joe biden making saudi arabia supply us. he is going back to the trump era policies engaging saudi arabia which will be good. at least -- [inaudible] david: the saudis hate the idea of a new iranian deal. they don't like the iranians. they feel they're a threat to their nation's future. so they, it es going to take some arm-twisting to get the saudis to go our way if they will continue with iranian deal.

maybe part of the saudi's cost to us, if we get rid of iran deal we'll pump many more oil. that may happen. we'll wait to see. thanks, for that scooby the way. a very interesting scoop you provided us with. we appreciate your analysis. we're following the results from key primaries in several states yesterday. did donald trump's influence push some gop candidates to victory? we have that with charlie hurt coming next. certified turbocharger, suspension and fuel injection.

wrong. it adds to the shame they should feel in the boycott of georgia which cost georgians so many billions of dollars. we need an apology from these people, don't we? >> yeah. but you're not going to get one, a, b, they're not capable of shame. but it turns out the mlb doesn't, the mlb knows less about the verying than they do about instant replay. and, but you're exactly right, all of these companies, that went, they dug down deep into the worst rhetoric they could come up with. you have republicans in georgia trying to preserve elections for everyone, no matter what your skin color is, your race, gender, anything but they dug so deep, accused them of being racist, accused them of, accused the laws of being jim crow 2.0. lo and behold it turns out in the aftermath of these republican laws what was the result? more people voted.

more engagement and but we'll never get an apology from any of them. david: not just more, doubling, doubling the number of people that turned out. just to put a fine point on it, commissioner rob manfred from the mlb, he deserves a lot of shame, pulling the all-star game out of there, he said major league baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box. a doubling of turnout amounts to restrictions? let's get the details. governor kemp -- >> when stacey abrams cost the city of atlanta $90 million with that ploy of hers and of course now we know why. because she thinks georgia is a terrible place to live. i think that was sort of the, the early admission of that was her decision to, her ability to kick the all-star game out of atlanta. david: i never heard a candidate debase the town or city or state

that they're running in. >> right. david: i think governor kemp, who got a 70%, 70% he got over his opponent david perdue, who is not a no-name nothing, he was backed by donald trump. i think the reason he got that because he stood so firmly against the woke firm mament to stand behind this election law. is that one of the reasons he won so big? >> without a doubt. so funny watching all of the mainstream media spending all this time trying to sus out, read the tea leaves and somehow determine that donald trump this is some sort of rebuke of donald trump. i see this very differently. i see all of these elections, you have all of these republicans who, obviously not endorsed by donald trump. they all want to be endorsed by donald trump. more importantly they're all campaigning on the issues that got donald trump elected in the first place. david: right. >> to me that is the biggest

victory there is. david: yes. >> it is proof that the, that the platform that donald trump brought to america, and forced the republican party to embrace, it is here, it is here for good. long after donald trump is gone, that new platform will be alive and well among republican politicians and republican voters. that is the most important thing. david: charlie, there is a lesson here which is whether you're talking about donald trump or talking about, the only thing that unites trump and biden the fact you follow what people do, not what they say. the voters, mass of moderate voters thought, believed what biden said about being a moderate and it turned out he wasn't. so many people voted against donald trump because they believed that his rhetoric, that he was going to cause a war and all this stuff that the media said. you follow his policy and that's what americans want more than anything else. go back to the policies of stability and prosperity in

america. quick final word. go ahead. >> yeah. he created this army of disciples, they don't blindly follow trump but they are, they're so energized by the issues, and they're following the issues. david: yes. following the issues. they have been told to do that. they are. now that they are, the media is against voters themselves. it is extraordinary moment. charlie hurt, thank you very much for being here. appreciate it. >> thank you. david: we're following explosive new details in the hunter biden scandal and hillary clinton's trump russia trial. we've got it all for you straight ahead. ♪. this... is the planning effect. this is how it feels to have a dedicated fidelity advisor

falsehood the perkins coie lawyer shared would not have affected the fbi probe because it was shoddy investigation. sussman's attorneys maintain he was not acting on behalf of a client when he came forward with the fake claim. joining me to discuss is "fox nation" host tomi lahren. tomi, that is a tough sell. that the hillary clinton campaign lawyer, confidante, wasn't coming to the fbi on her behalf to pedal this story that would have helped her campaign -- peddle. >> it is not on her behalf then why? was he a concerned citizen has this leaked collusion theory that he just had to share, he had to get it off of his heart and his mind? no, i i don't buy that for a second. furthermore, it didn't impact the investigation? absolutely impacted the investigation. yes, was the fbi sloppy, was it a shoddy investigation? absolutely t was based on a

leaked collusion theory that had very little merit to begin with but absolutely it impacted the investigation but this is more than just about sussman and what he said and who he was on behalf of. this goes back to hillary clinton herself and her dirty paws on this the entire time. all roads lead back to hillary. this trial is not getting enough media coverage -- david: some cases not getting any. >> not getting any, i believe if it got more attention it could potentially end hillary clinton's political career. but the media is not too interested in discussing this matter. david: of course they were very interested in discussing the phony collusion story too. that's what compelled i think, the fbi. they kept getting pause, particularly peter strzok, people at that level of the fbi, a lot of lower agents must have been upset they were following a story that didn't make any sense and but, it was just this constant feedback between the fbi and media, fbi and the

media. one guided the other. that's dangerous for the fbi to be in that situation? >> like i said at the heart of this all is hillary clinton. now listen, her team, goes to the fbi with this information, this collusion theory, leaks it to the media, then she tweets her shock and surprise when the news broke. hillary had her paws on this, seems hillary had her paws on this from the get-go. she wanted to ruin president trump's campaign and i think maybe the saddest part of all of this really is that even with this leaked collusion theory that was based on little to nothing in the first place, she still lost. she must still be bitter about that. david: i'm sure she is. she mentioned that but there is also the fact that the fbi it seven, i mentioned that before, it is very concerning that not only were they giving credence to the phony report some agents said wasn't worth the paper it was written on but sussman was a

after congress passed three covid stimulus bills in 2020 and last year. now since the tragic mass school shooting in uvalde, texas, yesterday, we've been hearing more about security funding to protect our kids. they have clearly got the cash to do it. so where are the schools spending it? for more, welcome missouri congressman jason smith. congressman, good to see you. thank you for being here. we'll talk about other ways that they have misspent some of that $1.9 trillion from the american rescue plan so-called. this really gets me. i used to be in a teacher in chicago so it bothers me when education money is misspent. we put up the full screen where this money went supposedly. we had three relief packages, covid relief packages, 2020, march of 2020, 13.2 billion, k-12, december of 2020, 54 billion k-12, march 2021, $122 billion. that was under president biden

for k-12. that comes to about $190 billion. where did that money go, congressman? >> it is great to be with you, david. as you pointed out they have had billions of dollars for funding that could be provided for security but unfortunately they have used it on all types of different programs. we have seen that money used to remodel football fields, athletic complexes, items that are just, and a lot of peoples words would be pork-barrel spending. unfortunately we're, important items such as security, not so much. david: forgive me for being conspiratorial, there were a lot of early retirements from teachers past couple years. some schools don't have enough teachers despite the $200 billion from taxpayers.

i'm wondering if a lot of money went to pay off teacher pensions from the unions? >> i would like to point out, david, this money was supposed to be for covid, much like trillions of dollars that was supposed to be for covid. like the 2 trillion-dollar covid package passed a year ago, actually less than 9% went towards health care spending. waste spent by local municipalities, by states, school districts is so unfortunate. guess who is paying for it? every american because of skyrocketing inflation that has gone up 11% since joe biden took the oath of office. david: it is unbelievable. well, congressman, we know that a lot of that money, the trillions of dollars that have been spent or requisitions have not been spent. could it be possible to round up, i hope there is somebody at omb still doing their job and tracking the money. can we track whether some money has not been spent, redirect it towards security in schools which is so important, so vital at this point in our history?

>> we've demanded this administration for an accounting of all the covid dollars that has been appropriated. we believe that there are hundreds of billions of dollars of covid dollars still out there that have not been spent but unfortunately the money that is being spent is spent on items that so unfortunate. like $17 million for a golf course in florida. $4 million for a parking lot at a beach in south carolina. $783 million, david, for prisoners, including the boston marathon bomber. the list goes on and on, the waste that is in this. we held an accounting. we asked for this administration hold an accounting. >> by the way there is a lot of so-called woke spending in this too. these courses on racism. again stuff that has zero to do with covid but has everything to do with the sort of left-wing

political agenda of woke democrats. it is an old phrase in politics going back to the mccarthy era but have they no shame? >> this legislation is what i refer to as the biden bailout bill t was not the american rescue plan. it was the biden bailout bill because it was a bill that was all about rewarding they're political friends, allies and donors at the expense of hard-working americans. every american last year faced an inflation tax of 3500 and they're expecting that every family this year has an inflation tax of 5200 per family. that means every american is paying more to put food on their table, clothes on their backs, gasoline in their car because of the one-party rule democrat policies joe biden, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. david: the money went for a lot of left-wing political pork, many other things. we have to get some of that money to protect our children. it is that simple.

thanks so much for being here, congressman jason smith. homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas in a new video saying that the southern border is not open. recent migrant incidents show otherwise. details are straight ahead 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 ♪ limu emu ♪ and doug. ♪ harp plays ♪ only two things are forever: love and liberty mutual customizing your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need.

the latest now on biden's work collapsed, home and security secretary alejandro mayorkas once historic order numbers are likely to rise while telling migrants considering traveling to america not to come. >> the bottom line is u.s. borders are not open. individuals and families continue to be subject to border restrictions including expulsion. do not come to the border. do not put your life at risk only to be sent back. david: congressman of house homeland security committee, good to see you, thank you for being here. a basic question, how do you deal with an administration simply not grasping reality? >> secretary mayorkas unfortunately has repeatedly come before congress and told us the border is secure.

we know it's not, the american public knows it not. it's shocking to see the failures of this administration, we have little terrace across our borders this week assassinating george w. bush plot, a terrace released by dhs and it took two weeks to pick him up. we now know because of legislation that i led over the past 14 or 15 months, there are 35 people apprehended between ports of entry that matched the terror watch list. 620,000 known getaway since biden took office. how many of those people match the terror watch list? that's frightening. david: a former lieutenant colonel are you still in the reserves air force? >> i sure am. >> so congratulations on the appointment and thank you for your service but you are also national security is on the president trump, what you make about department of homeland security that could create a

breach of security that would allow these terrorists in? >> they apprehended their responsibly to keep our country safe. the president has two jobs. one, make the country more secure and make it more prosperous. he's failing at both but our security, the security of every american every single night depends on the administration doing their job and taking it seriously. it took the court of public opinion and the little courts, federal courts to even get rid of title 42 and that's just one of many things they've failed to do. it's time for us to take it seriously, biden administration needs to reverse course and keep our country secure. >> you mentioned america knows the border is open, you know is open and i would go even further, the people to whom mayorkas was talking in the video, the migrants themselves, they know is open. the word is out.

my wife is from central america, we have a lot of contacts, everybody knows, any country in central america the border is open. who do they think they are kidding? >> you are absolutely right, they communicated loud and clear to the trafficking organizations, cartel, the criminals and that's why they make billions of dollars exploiting lack of security. i was there under the bridge last summer when 15000 haitian migrants came to del rio. what a tragic moment. it's going to get worse and i said before and sounding alarm bells like in the pre-9/11 days, a system is blinken red write the second and we have to take it seriously. it only took 19 people in the 9/11 attacks get this year we have 35 people who match terror watch list, what will it take for the administration to wake up? >> i don't know the answer. what i do know is among other americans have woken up,

hispanic injuries have looked up they have flipped on biden not only despite his policy on the border but i would say because of his policy on the border. hispanics who work here desperately to come here legally do so, go through all you have to, i know very personally how much there is to become a citizen and get a green card, they don't want people jumping the line. >> you are right to everyone in the united states should watch rio grande valley, look at the elections here in texas, we have the possibility to have three latino women elected to the house of representatives, a massive historic moment for texas but it's because of the failed policies on many things but mostly on the border. >> absolutely. congressman, i wish we had more time, i want to talk to you about the economy which doesn't seem to be going through anything but rough spots after rough spot we have to leave it at that. august, thank you for your

military service thank you for being here. >> thank you so much. >> i'm david as in, i'm in for elizabeth macdonald, you are watching "the evening edit" on foxbusiness, thank you so much for watching. we'll see you back here tomorrow. ♪♪ kennedy: heroism in south texas, 19 fourth-grade students and two of their teachers dead in the horrific school shooting in the town of uvalde but now we know brave cops, shares and border patrol agents rushed into the gunfire potentially preventing a bigger massacre. first responders saying the crime scene was the worst thing they've ever witnessed but the motive for the devastating tragedy still very much unclear. we know almost nothing about the dead suspect is hopefully riding and help with his tongue
