"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ elizabeth: welcome to the show. you're watching the fox business network. we'll start with stocks. look at that ending up in the green. it was choppy, seesaw action today. they're digesting inflation looking ahead to maybe a brighter tomorrow. primaries in seven states delivering a message to d.c. from california, iowa, mississippi, montana, new jersey, new mexico and south dakota. voters weighing in on crime, the economy. also the power of trump.

in california san francisco voters now deciding whether to boot out of office their weak on crime prosecutor chesa boudin. whether to go with tough on crime billionaire rick caruso as mayor of los angeles. clawed crowd live with more from san francisco co. good to see you. reporter: voters are casting ballots around the state including here in san francisco with all eyes on recall of the district attorney chesa boudin. with polls showing he may not survive the embattled d.a. is urging last minnesotaers to keep him in office. when he cast his ballot yesterday i asked him what changes he would make if he gets to stay? >> i think people have issues with the challenges during the state with the pandemic, with history of failed approach to criminal justice. reporter: critics say his approach focused on diversion programs to reduce mass incarceration has failed even more. many of the offenders he kept out of jail went on to commit more crimes. san francisco has become a land of lawlessness, drug dealing and

rampant theft. booed dean has framed recall as a republican power grab. if he loses it will be because san francisco voters who are overwhelmingly registered democrats voted him out. if that happens, the mayor will appoint a new district attorney to serve out the remainder of his term. we should know the outcome of this recall later this evening. elizabeth? elizabeth: claudia cowan great reporting as always. joining us now pennsylvania congressman dan meuser from small business, foreign affairs, vice president of the fraternal order of police. joe gamaldi. pleased to have you back on. congressman, first to you. democrats and republicans spending massively on the campaign to get rid of chesa boudin. former leader of the democrat party head recall. asian-americans, hispanics of san francisco they don't want him anymore. where do you see this going? >> from what i see in the polls,

boudin his goose is cooked and for all the right reasons. his proscution rate has almost been cut in half. he treats criminals like they're the victims and this has been going on since he got into office. the people are seeing that. repeat offenders, he is not prosecuting those. the police are becoming demoralized because of it. the number of applicants for police in san francisco is enormously low. and. funding has been depleted. of course crime is going up. he couldn't really be doing much of a worse job and you know what is cause and effect, liz? you don't support the police, you reduce their funding, crime is going to go up. we've got a situation similar to that in philadelphia. we've got a guy by the name of larry krasner who is not a lot different. we're passing legislation in pennsylvania to make sure he doesn't get a third term. elizabeth: this could spark something nationwide, joe. how do you see this? joe, people are sick of crime in

california and elsewhere. homicides in california jumped the most since 1960. there is uc berkeley poll crime and public safety are top concerns. more than race relations health care and pandemic? how do you see this going? people are sick of smash mob looting or garbage bags or people looting their houses. where do you see this is heading. >> hoping is a boudin in the unemployment line by the end of the night. i think you see a law and order wave in the midterms. american people are fed up. we're seeing it in the polling data. recent "gallup poll" said crime is a concern for americans at its highest level that it has been in years. a recent "pew research poll" said black persons, number one concern? crime. rightfully so. yet we still have academics, politicians, activists, pushing

zero consequence criminal justice policies and they package it by telling the public this is going to help our minority communities when this fact it does the opposite. you know who is disproportionately impacted by violent crime in this country? black americans, to the tune of 12 times everyone else. you know what? the american people we're not stupid. we see what is going on in our community. we want safe streets. the fact of the matter is, we're pissed off. if politicians don't give us what we want, we not get law and order. we'll find someone else who will. >> what joe is saying. americans were locked down. they lost their businesses in really botched lockdowns so incompetently done. crime wave unleashed by the likes of boudin. he defended freeing dozens of violent felons from jail. he refused to prosecute crimes like burglary and assault. he ended cash bail. he targeted cops for prosecution. he did not bring one single conviction for possession with

intent to sell drugs even though fentanyl is soaring in san francisco as well as other drugs. >> fentanyl is more of a killer in san francisco than is covid. homelessness is way up. every type of crime is way up. grabbing trash is, is household phrase. and you know what else, liz? number of applications for guns is way up, for legal use of guns. i mean like six times, seven times more than had been before. and, san francisco, like philadelphia, like new york, are losing their constituents. they're losing their population. people are voting with their feet. they are getting out of there. until we reverse course. we need to reverse course on law enforcement. we need to reverse course on our economy. elizabeth: yeah. >> we need to reverse course on the border. a long list. elizabeth: california is a beautiful state. it is also hit with droughts.

it will be hit with blackouts, brownouts. it has, seems like it has a high threshold for pain, joe, when it comes to things like that but the congressman mentioned something about illegal guns. when you ignite a crime wave with weak on crime policies, guns pour in, right? people want to protect themselves, right? also illegal guns pour in, right, joe? is that what is going on? >> yeah. i mean you're absolutely right. we see plenty of illegal guns on the streets. but here is the rub. because of these woke d.a.s. because of activist judges. we're not enforcing gun laws we have on the books right now. we're having a national discussion about different gun laws but we can make impact right now if we would throw the book at people committing violent crimes with guns. probation to people shooting people. probation to people committing aggravated robberies with a gun. people illegally selling guns. felons in potential of a firearm. the list goes on and on.

here's a novel idea. if the d.a.s got off their ass and did their jobs to prosecute the laws on the books? we might have impact on violent crime. elizabeth: that's a thought. we'll have you back on to talk and you congressman meuser, joe, thank you very much for the good segment. good to have you back on. see you soon. we're digging into the democrattics party. eric swalwell campaign dropping tens of thousands of dollars of campaign cash on luxury travel as you struggle to fill up your tank. is any of this will get him in trouble? we'll find out. treasury secretary janet yellen she wants you to believe inflation is the price you are paying for those democrat lockdowns that destroyed the economy. economists say not so fast. the truth, biden inherited a v-shaped economy from trump and ruined it. we dig in ahead. >> you try to get a job, your wages are destroyed by inflation. no matter what spin this

hill after the secretary admitted, yeah, the white house and yellen got it wrong on inflation. here's the issue, the white house consistently playing catchup on problems that even obama officials warn about for months and months ahead of time instead of heading them off before they become a crisis. hillary vaughn is on capitol hill with more. hillary. reporter: good evening, liz. well treasury secretary janet yellen may be the only biden administration official that's willing to admit they were wrong on inflation but she's not ready to admit that the free cash for families in the american rescue plan had anything to do with it. >> it resulted in a dramatic reduction in childhood poverty and financial insecurity for american families and contributed little or nothing to inflation. reporter: new reporting suggests that yellen may have seen an inflation storm brewing in the forecast. according to an excerpt from a biography of yellen due out in

september she agreed with former treasury secretary larry summers that the american rescue plan stuffed with stimulus could cause problems. the excerpt reads quote, privately yellen agreed with summers. that too much money was flowing into the economy too quickly but yellen is disputing the biography about her, saying this in a statement, quote, i never urged adoption of a smaller american rescue plan package. now some lawmakers on capitol hill are questioning yellen's credibility. she will be back here on the hill to face some more grilling from house lawmakers tomorrow. liz? elizabeth: hillary vaughn, great journalism there, good to see you. okay, let's take a check on this. look at positive gdp numbers for 2020. it shows biden did inherit a v-shaped recovery from trump. joining us now the capitalist come back author, former kke restaurant owner, andy puzder. good to have you on. you heard hillary vaughn's reporting. treasury secretary denying

massive money printing and government spending is causing inflation but in a book she admits yes it did do that. what is your take on what is going on here? >> you literally, there are graphs comparing inflation in the united states, to inflation in the oecd countries, european countries and canada. you literally can see it surge the very month they passed this american rescue plan. it put care seen on the fire of inflation -- kerosene. larry summers, jason furman, steve rattner, all obama era economists that don't do this, inflation will surge. they did it anyway. it surged, what she is say something ridiculous. she knows, she knows that the american rescue plan really drove inflation. saying anything to the contrary is just ridiculous at this point. elizabeth: andy, you bring up europe. your point is well-taken, europe is not seeing white hot inflation the u.s. is. yellen today is defending

biden's policies, you know, basically she is saying that this was the price, inflation is the price you had to pay for you know, temporary downturn in the first quarter of 2021 t was down around 1%. but then, she basically saying, that we needed to do this spending and possibly quote, risk inflation after the democrat lockdowns destroyed 22 million jobs. what do you think of that? >> sure. that is just not true. it is just false. look, demand was way up. savings were way up, when biden became president. the problem was supply. the problem wasn't demand. the problem wasn't people having money. the problem was we didn't have enough goods. if you give people even more money, it is obviously going to drive inflation. the only reason that biden did this because he felt like trump and republicans were going to try to take credit for the cash distributions that were made during the pandemic. he wanted to be able to say he

put some money in peoples pockets. this was all political. it made no sense at the time. everybody knew it made no sense. yellen should have known it made no sense but they did it anyway. elizabeth: it is wild. house democrats led by nancy pelosi tomorrow are going to push for even more spending. they want trillions more spending. we have the states on other hand, states like mississippi, iowa, kansas, kentucky, talking about cutting taxes. so the states are going in a different direction. andy, we have the media, they're turning against biden saying he should not run again. you've been in the white house. when does that crescendo create a turning point? >> i tell you i pray every morning that biden will run again. i hope he is the nominee next time around. i think the media is actually, always been left-leaning, they think biden running will be a disaster for the democrat party. what is happening in the white house, people are leaving the white house. they're depressed because they

have got a myriad of problems they have to address. there is crisis after crisis. all the president can seem to do is blame other people, make excuses and complain. it is time for the white house to start coming up with solutions but this president can't do that because he is held back by the left, the far left-wing of his party that wants to spend and spend and spend. which is what is creating these problems we're facing. the american people know it. elizabeth: now you've got late-night tv even coming out you know, poking fun at the president. let's watch stephen colbert here. watch this. >> but the white house has a plan. put joe on the road to highlight progress being made and let biden be biden. yes. we're getting some joe classic but cover your kids ears, biden has been so frustrated reportedly resorted to salty language. got stuck in butter churn.

i'm hopping back in the corvette. wait. gas is how much? [laughter] who the [bleep] is the president? elizabeth: very funny. right? >> that was good. colbert -- colbert is going after the democrats. he is going after the president, you know things are bad. i hope people are feel free to make fun of the president. you should always feel free to make fun of other peoples politics. that shouldn't be something prohibited but this is clearly a sign that the left realizes they have got a problem and they do have a problem and that problem is joe biden. elizabeth: andy puzder, great to see you, come back soon. we have got this, top democrat senator debbie stabenow, sparking outrage, down playing rising gas, you know i drive an expensive electric car. doesn't hit me. voters in her own state can't afford those cars. now this, another democrat narrative falling apart, trying to blame inflation on supply

panels from china or taiwan. they will keep putting tariffs on that. they will lift them on vietnam, thailand, elsewhere. but here's the problem, china is accused of rerouting their panels through those countries anyway. edward lawrence with more from washington. reporter: president joe biden looking to flight inflation by removing tariffs on chinese goods coming into the united states. that is something that china would want. critics are wondering why the president would want to do that. the president did remove tariffs for several south asian countries for two years related to solar panels. he invoked the defense production act for the industry. i pushed the white house on this question. what is the real emergency in the solar industry for the defense production act? >> so let me, i was going to say first, the president, you know, when he takes defense production act to make sure he is delivering for the american people. it is an important tool he used a couple times and has been incredibly effective. reporter: fox news correspondent jacqui heinrich follow up on my

point. listen to this. >> on solar panels how is this not a gift to chinese solar manufacturers, many of whom operate with forced labor and are subsidized by the chinese communist party? >> so, you know, today's announcement is about one country and one country alone, it is about the united states. reporter: largest solar manufacturer in the u.s. disagrees. he says this would only help china. back to you, liz? elizabeth: great point. u.s. solar manufacturers, edward lawrence good reporting there, welcome back to the show congressman french hill. we always enjoy having you on? move on to this. white house and democrats keep blaming inflation on the supply chain crisis. we have this new development. it's a dangerous one. there is a growing number of truck drivers now quitting because soaring gas prices are wiping out their paychecks. talking thousand dollar tip just at one time at the gas pump. we're already 80,000 truckers short. more than 750% of freight is

transported by truck drivers. this is pretty dangerous stuff. >> liz, great to be back with you. you're 100% right. there is nothing more integral than supply chain logistics having enough, well-paid, competent truck drivers in this country. as you point out we're short drivers now due to the baby boom generation retiring. many biden mandates on employment, vaccine mandates by the biden administration and now we're up 70% on diesel prices. if you're in a fleet, if you are a fleet driver for a big company like walmart or j.b. hunt, you probably have a price escalator in there for your diesel cost. it is up 70% from last year. if you're a entrepreneur, a self--made truck driver working, you're paying almost 2,000, $2200 a week, up almost $900. you're in the spot market for fuel. you don't have a hedge or any sophisticated support. that is what is killing them.

elizabeth: it is an important point you make. truck remembers vital to our economy. it's a tough job they do. of. we have to hand it to the truck drivers what they do for us in our country. hats off to them. remember when the energy secretary basically laughed out loud when she was asked about increasing u.s. production to help lower gas prices, watch this? >> what is the granholm plan to increase oil production in america? >> [laughter]. that is hilarious. would that i had the magic wand on this. the message we need to increase supply at this moment so that people will not see be, be hurt during the winter months. elizabeth: you did hear that, congressman? on one hand she is saying i don't have a magic wand. yeah, they have been undercutting u.s. energy from day one. then they say we need more supply? >> this is crazy. her cackling does not solve this problem. they have been wrong since january 20th, 2021, when they canceled the keystone pipeline, canceled all the

regulatory benefits of building new pipelines, offering new federal lands for explore race, not approving pipelines to export lng and in their budget, proposing a $145 billion in new taxes on the energy industry and finally and significantly, esg, environmental social governance rules by the sec and bank regulators that curtail financing for american energy. elizabeth: we also have this today. top democrat senator debbie stabenow, said high gas is not hurting her because she drives an electric car. a electric car costs 589,000, that is median wage in -- 59,000. >> great political theater to point, prices are up, my reaction is duh. they're up for everybody. the question is what are we going do about it? on issue of gas prices after waiting for a long time to have enough chips in this country to

finally get my electric vehicle i got it and drove it from michigan to here, this last weekend and went by every single gas station, didn't matter how high it was. >> putin moved troops to the border of ukraine gas prices have gone up over $1.40 a gallon and the president is asking for congress and others for potential ideas but, as you say, the reality is, that there isn't very much more to be done. elizabeth: yeah. there is a lot they can do. they can stop undercutting u.s. energy. that was the senator being called her let them eat teslas moment. when is this congress, when are these democrat senators and congressman going to understand that charging electric cars will wildly overwhelm the power grid? you need more natural gas and coal to power the power grid. electric car drivers are not paying gas taxes up keep on

roads but drive up everybody's utility power costs and swamp the power grid. >> i supported house infrastructure bill on infrastructure toe encourage a pilot program to charge electric cars fees for damage they do to the roads. i'm playing my little microscopic violin for senator stabenow. i looked at arkansas. 4.1 million cars registered in arkansas. you know how many are electric? about 1200. this is just a let them eat tesla moment. i agree with the description. if what we need to be doing is unleashing american energy because hard-working families, particularly the lowest income families drive older cars more dependent on cheap gas to get to work, take care of their kids, buy groceries. elizabeth: congressman hill, a pleasure to have you on. come back. >> thanks, liz. elizabeth: good to see you. we have drug and human traffickers swamping border patrol to unleash record amounts of drugs into our nation. families who lost children to

>> joining us now "the hill" columnist kristin tate is back with us. great author, great writer. great to see you. your thoughts on this, representative eric swalwell, his campaign dropped nearly $60,000 on luxury travel in just a month 1/2. we're talking hotels, miami, paris, limos, posh hoe hotels up to $3700 a night. this doesn't sound right. >> this man is so is out of

touch. people are struggling to put gas in their cars, food on the table, eric swalwell is spending tens of thousands of dollars on luxury hotels and vacation destinations like miami and paris. just six weeks, swalwell spent as much as median income in the u.s., u.s. median household income. the place he stayed at in paris this luxury hotel typically charges well over $1000 a night. he dropped $4700 on an upscale hotel in miami. these kind of hotels typically charge more in one night that many average american renters will spend in an entire month. look, to be fair, liz, a lot of lawmakers and candidates do spend thousands of dollars on travel but the fec regulates that campaign money to not be spent on personal expenses. and swalwell campaign has listed these purchases as travel expenses but it is pretty unclear how trips to paris and

miami and these other vacation stops relate to any campaign related activities. elizabeth: he is not on in campaign mode, right? you know what i mean? last year they dropped tens of thousands of dollars on booze delivery services, luxury hotels, high-end restaurants, $20,000 at the luxury hotel his wife used to work at, half moon bay. we're going to deal with that. we'll stay on that story. we've got this. federalist contributor, ben winegarten he is pointing out hillary clinton campaign lawyer michael sussman walking free from a d.c. federal court after a jury acquitted him of lying to the fbi in hillary's trump russia, former trump advisor peter navarro, put in handcuffs and shackled, reports of a harrowing arrest and detainment. what do american people think of this? what do you think? >> there are two tiers of justice in this system. peter navarro. he was not at the capitol. he didn't break into the

capitol. he didn't encourage anybody to do so. he didn't encourage the riot to happen. if liz cheney, nancy pelosi and their friends compared what happened on january 6th, compared to get to the bottom of it they would interview fbi but this whole january 6th committee has little to do i suspect actually finding out what happened that day. it is about sending a message to the american people that there are one set of rules for the liberal elites, the connected democrats and one set of rules, totally different for everybody else. i think there is something else going on here, liz, democrats realize they must make the midterms about donald trump and january 6th. look what is going on in the country right now. we have record inflation. prices are way up. the border is way open. crime is way up in our cities. they know they can't run on issues. they have to divert attention. elizabeth: critics routly condemned january 6th there is a probe going on. media saying just focus on january 6th, not kitchen

table problems. watch this. >> this is about the american experiment whether or not we want our democracy to fall apart or whether or not we want to look what happened on january 6th and be cautioned by it, learn from it and really understand what happened. there is so many things that people are juggling between gas prices and inflation, baby formula abortion, and the shootings that are happening. these lawmakers will now try to have a narrative focus the country's attention, look at this thing, do not turn away and understand while all those other things are really, really important, the foundation of our country, what makes our country function is democracy we have to protect. elizabeth: what do you think, kristin? >> it's crazy. every measure of life is worse under joe biden. democrats know it. american families are seeing kids go to school getting indoctrinated with these crazy radical ideas. costing many families over $100 to fill up their cars with gas. so you know the democrats they

can't run on issues. that is why they're doing this. elizabeth: kristin tate, good to see you. come back soon. president biden facing a backlash over his student loan forgiveness plan. middle class joe, this move will help the rich, not blue-collar, not middle class workers. democrats inside of the white house really worried about this plan. what about the people who paid off their debt or didn't take it on to begin with? is this all a political game? that story just ahead. >> there is no doubt about it. this is election year gimmick to buy votes, to make more americans dependent on government and mortgaging our children's future. ferent than oy managers.

elizabeth: welcome to the show from house financial services congressman brian steil. secretary of education cardona made news on capitol hill.

he said on capitol hill the president may pause student loan payments. far left, elizabeth warren want all debt canceled. where do you come down on this? >> this is incredibly dangerous path the president wants to steak us down. this inflationary period he wants more spending. what this is doing, shifting burden from the individuals that took out loans, disproportionately graduate students who took out high cost loans like doctors and lawyers, shifting that burden on to all americans, including individuals that didn't go to college, individuals that went to college and paid off their debt. it's a move in the wrong direction. it refuses to address the underlying issue which is the high cost of education in the first place. elizabeth: yeah. so it is enabling basically price gouging by the racketeering colleges, fat cat academics who are getting subsidized by federal grants and more. there is nothing on that end,

you know, selling degrees and significance of soap operas or whatever. the reports are coming in congressman that biden won't announce a decision on this until at least july or august but insiders at the white house are really worried and upset to your point that it is going to alienate blue-collar and middle class workers. middle class joe is going to lose them when you made this move. they paid on the debt. didn't take on the debt. went to trade schools, became electricians or plumbers. >> you're exactly right. all americans should be upset with the fact that the biden administration is working to shift the burden of the debt. they call it canceling debt. we know it is not true. it is not canceling the debt, shifting burden to all american taxpayers. elizabeth: how are are we talking about? how much? >> tune of tens of billions of dollars. we have $1.7 trillion in student debt. $10,000 per student would be roughly half a trillion dollars in new government spending by

the biden administration. moves us in the wrong direction. elizabeth: you know the white house, "politico" reporting is that multiple staffers inside of the white house each face six figure debt. there is pressure from them to do it. that seems like a conflict of interest. senator tom cotton is saying that. is that, can you go so far to say that? >> there is definitely individuals who took out a ton of debt it get high cost graduate degrees, law degrees and others. i have no doubt that plenty of these individuals are working for biden in the white house and are now ad vote kateing to have their -- advocating to have their personal debt wiped out by the biden administration. the point remains, the debt burden will not be canceled. it will be shifted, we're asking, the biden administration is asking all americans, individuals who went to trade schools, might work as plumber, electrician, individuals went through school, paid their way through school, paid off their student debt to pay for the schooling and education of

attorneys and doctors across the united states. elizabeth: the thing is, it benefits the top 40% of wage earners, the wealthy. it doesn't benefit the lower and middle class at all. so basically, go ahead. take that on. final word. >> it is absolutely right. the individuals that took out the largest dollars of debt are those that have graduate degrees and making six figure incomes. attorneys and doctors are perfect example of that. it is not addressing the issue of the high cost of education of so many people choosing to go to technical colleges or local community colleges in there in their home communities. elizabeth: quite a racket. congressman brian steil. those colleges don't pay a lot of taxes whatsoever on many levels. we'll stay on the story, congressman. good to see you. drug and human traffickers swamping border patrol to unleash historic amounts of drugs into our nation. we're talking to one father. he lost his son to a fentanyl overdose from a counterfeit pill. this is a growing trend that is endangering the country.

knew what percocet did to him from a previous surgery and wanted to relieve back pain and take the edge off while waiting for a telephone interview so he died in the middle of the day, he was not an addict or a partier, his self-medicating and we are seeing a lot of that, that's the trend. elizabeth: when did that happen? >> may 14, 2020. elizabeth: i can't imagine the agony. we got teens, can you talk about teens and college students buying on social media fake pills loaded with fentanyl? we are hearing federal, oxycontin and more. >> it is alarming, drugs have been upended by the convergence of two forces essentially fentanyl and fakery so drug dealers are using this powerful opioid has brought material of choice to put in pressed pills delivering made to look like the medications this generation of

kids grew up with so when kids relieve stress, where they go is online, that's where they do their social financial interactions and look for a pill to take the edge off and what they get, they are presented with what you asked for but there's no xanax at all. elizabeth: which social media sites are doing this? >> well, it's on all social media sites and increasingly on the emerging ones like discord and telegram, snapchat is where a lot of these are made because it's popular among this age group but the snaps disappear so dealers for advertising on instagram or tik tok. we are on a tik tok site where we have trolls come on comments, anti- pill tik tok site and they come on and say if you look at these, get it on instagram, really brazen. elizabeth: lentil is enough to kill americans multiple times over.
