american energy industry. that is where all of this starts. it is having profound effect. why he continues to double down on the policies that are hurting americans is beyond me. elizabeth: to the congressman's point, karl, who is in charge of the white house? >> you know, i don't know. supposedly the president but look, this is not a problem of who is in charge. we know who is ultimately in charge. it is him. he is responsible for the actions of people underneath him. they perpetuate this myth that this inflation issue is all because of ukraine. take a quick look at the numbers. january of 21 when president biden came into office inflation was 1.4% a year. by january 2022, 7.48%. by may, 8.582% inflation. that means that 84% of the difference between january and today occurs before, a month before ukraine is ever invaded

by putin. so the idea that this is somehow related to what is happening in russia, primarily, primarily related to that is completely bogus and why the administration continues to perpetuate this, due to their policies of overspending, pumping too much demand into the economy. inflation, classic definition too much money chasing too few goods. that is what happened because of their policies. elizabeth: threw a lot of hot money into a locked up on my after democrat shutdowns destroyed 22 million jobs, ukraine, all of that. to karl's point, americans, wall street are afraid there is no end to stop inflation. the democrat thought experiment policies in academia are broken. "new york times" a brutal report, opening salvo, 50 anonymous democrat officials, nearly 50 of them say biden should not run again. listen to alexandria ocasio-cortez on this.

>> you know if the president chooses to run again in 2024 i mean, first of all i'm focused on winning this majority right now and preserving a majority this year in 2022. we'll cross that bridge when we get to it but i think if the president has a vision and that is something certainly we're all willing to entertain and examine when the time comes. >> that is not a yes. >> i think we should endorse, when we get to it but i believe that the president is doing a very good job so far and, you know, should he run again i think that, you know i think it's, we'll take a look at it [laughter]. >> okay. elizabeth: congressman, who does the left want because biden is doing everything the left wanted? >> so you know the fact that they don't like biden tells me they want to go even further to the left. they, many of the democrats here on capitol hill don't feel like biden has gone far enough to the left. these policies that are hurting american families so much, they want to double and triple down,

they want to go faster. one thing i can say right now we're focused on winning the majority in the midterms. americans are asking for this craziness to stop. we'll take the majority in the house of representatives and we'll stop the slide. this far movement to the left has got to come to an end because it is destroying the american dream and seeing families hurting. elizabeth: we got reports, right, we got reports, karl, ron desantis, mike pence, tom cotton, they're talking about running in 2024. we have this, former top official for obama, he is david axelrod, he says biden's age will be a major issue, karl. david gergen said the same thing. americans are feeling that we're being run by people that should retired already. we're fighting old blood feuds that date back to generation. >> for over a year that biden will not be the democratic

nominee in 024. think about this. he was 78 at the time of his inauguration. he was older than ronald reagan was after reagan left office as oldest person to serve as president at 77. biden would be 82 in 2024. they will not nominate a 82-year-old to take on terrible demanding job again after he has a difficulty stringing two sentences. he will not be the nominee. not kid ourselves. in all likelihood neither kamala harris. who has been utter disaster as vice president. they will not mom her and her cackle. there will be a wide open contest. elizabeth: stay with the congressman, if we have time. the thought experiment, karl, about shutting down the u.s., national bureau of economic research. they're the esteemed nonpartisan shop, they found 170,000 excess deaths from the pandemic that people didn't need to die. they found excess deaths among

young americans because of the shutdowns, locking up people, infecting each other inside. nber reports sweden didn't do that. sweden unavoided unnecessary deaths. shutting down economy, throwing hot money at the economy, americans are suffering from the dumb policies all through d.c.? >> we'll be suffering for years to come. take and look what happened to an entire generation of students forced out of the classroom and into their bedrooms doing classes virtually. we know that they're falling behind on basic skills, reading writing, math. we understand the problems of socialization and we're going to see this for decades to come because their quality of life and their standard of living has been severely repressed as a result of these policies. elizabeth: final word, congressman, now the president is saying he will take charge of inflation. congressman, he and his team have been saying inflation is transitory and won't stick around. how did they get it so wrong,

white house, democrats media? we have reports out of "axios," "fortune" magazine, on and on, business insider inflation was going to be going away? >> look i don't think you can screw it up this bad unless you're trying to screw it up this bad. that is what it seems like this administration is doing, it is purposeful. they got it wrong. american families are hurting. time to change direction and course. elizabeth: who is saving them krysten sinema and joe manchin guys, for saying no to more spending. should give them a round of applause. thank you congressman drew ferguson, karl rove, good to see you. president biden's only success undermined by hunter biden and his uncle james biden. we're digging out details on documents how bidens tried to profit off of both sides of massive government spending deals. also this the push is on, attorney general merrick garland, he is getting slammed. he is still not cracking down on illegal far left protests outside homes of supreme court

to do with energy. it happens to be a larger meeting taking place in saudi arabia. that's the reason i'm going. it has to do with national security for them, for israelis. i have a program, anyway. it has to do with much larger issues than having to do with the energy. elizabeth: so why go? why is the president going? i mean gas is up 17 days straight nationwide under biden? the new white house plan, blame u.s. oil and gas, blame saudi arabia. >> right. elizabeth: when he inherited a economy first time was energy independent. >> that's right. elizabeth: why is he going to saudi arabia then? >> there is no sense in going there. he should be spending time here talking to producers in the united states figuring out howe we bring more supply to the market space, get prices down, incentivize companies to produce locally. rewind two years ago the entire nation except for california was energy independent. unfortunately on day one during

♪. elizabeth: okay. let's welcome to the show gop strategist ford o'connell. ford, i think we may have found the biggest conflict of interest of all involving the bidens profiteering. the president is on the road now, ford, with a media blitz touting one of his few successes, that multitrillion dollar infrastructure deal but we're digging into the documents. ford, we're finding revelations from hunter biden's laptop about how hunter biden and james biden in 2017 sought to sell the family's name, sought to sell access to joe biden while he was vice president to make big money off of both sides of obama's infrastructure spending with u.s. states and china, a china joint venture, when china is seeking to rule the world in infrastructure. >> well, you're absolutely right, liz.

documents indicate joe biden was directly involved in hunter and jim biden's dealings. it appears he used his office of vp to benefit the family, potentially benefit him circle personally. i will be honest if joe biden was a republican president this would be the biggest story in the country and democrats would be screaming for hearings on capitol hill. elizabeth: this is a major conflict of interest. hunter biden, james biden, are trying to profit from both sides of obama's nearly $50 billion in spending on infrastructure. then on the other side hunter and james were making money from china who wanted in on this infrastructure spending. they made anywhere from six million, nbc reports it was $11 million from both china and ukraine? >> it is absolutely amazing how brazen the biden family was to solicit money directly from the chinese communist party with respect to these infrastructure deals. as you know, liz, this is a, not only a conflict of a interest

but this is a national security problem because china believes through the belt and road initiative, if they control their rivals infrastructure, they can control other populations around the world. we're talking potentially about projects that included laguardia airport and minnesota rail. this is a very big thing. elizabeth: so james biden and hunter biden are trying to let china inside of the u.s. to dominate u.s. infrastructure. let's go through it t happened in may of 2017. james biden emails hunter biden, is on this email. he is talking about connecting top democrats across the nation with china's big player in china's belt and road push, again to dominate world infrastructure that was cefc. this is china's conglomerate. it is backed by chinese communist military and intelligence. they're talking chinese investment in critical u.s. infrastructure in new york, virginia, minnesota and california. ford, they were talking bridges, highways, railroads, airports, virginia's port for ships,

minnesota's railroads and highways and more. >> yeah. joe biden and his family apparently had no problem putting america at risk so long as they got paid off. what is even crazier list to push these projects would bring in folks like andrew cuomo of new york and the current sitting vice president of the united states kamala harris. this is a huge, huge story and the bidens greed and brazenness was going to put america at risk. elizabeth: all this again while biden was vice president. so they're like pilot fish, the biden family, coming in to profit off of these deals that obama, again, this was obama's big push on infrastructure, nearly 50 billion. cefc, it is communist china's imperialist program to buy up smaller country energy resources, buy up the infrastructure, ensnare them in deathtraps all to over take the u.s. as world's economic superpower. who would have thunk this was going on behind the scenes? >> who would have not only that, the chinese have been doing this

all over the world to your point, liz. to do it directly into the united states. to have the aid of the vice president of the united states, to help china gain a foothold in america, it is absolutely disgusting. frankly everyone on capitol hill, state capitals across this country should be reviewing this story to understand where the chinese are coming from, how joe biden and the biden family were willing to make money off of america. elizabeth: the thing is, ford, they buried the deals in off-balance sheet companies that delaware is so famous for right? that is what the biden family was doing, jim and hunter biden. to your point they were targeting democrat politicians including as you point out senator kamala harris, senator dianne feinstein, gavin newsom, jim biden called him hunter's friend, then virginia governor terry mcauliffe, senator al franken, senator amy globe char and florida's -- globe char and florida's rick scott. >> absolutely amazing ventures

they were trying to force the infrastructure into. to be honest those deals may or may not have worked. they got money through the communist party through cefc and shell companies but this should be honestly a wake-up call to all of america that the chinese are not only coming for our economy and infrastructure. joe biden's family was willing to let them have a piece. elizabeth: it was china energy and finance company, that is what cefc stands for. they offered to extend bidens five million dollar interest free loans in documents and text messages in the laptop. how is this a national security risk? >> it's a national security risk because the chinese communist party believes if it scan control a rival nation's infrastructure, bridges, roads, dams, they control people on the ground. they're doing this all over africa. they're doing this all over central america. now they have been trying to do this for years in america.

most people think of national security is just military but the chinese have a broader scope of what national security means and they're spot on about how weak and how they can try to get a foothold into american infrastructure. elizabeth: with the help of the biden family. ford o'connell, thank you so much, good to see you. vice president harris has yet to visit the border. touting success at the border as it collapses. find out what the vice president is saying. that's coming up. white house visitor logs show defund the police activists visited the white house and met with top aides according to fox news. this happens as violent crime starting taking off in u.s. cities that defunded the police that story ahead on "the evening edit." ♪ since we were here. back then we could barely afford a hostel. i'm glad we invested for the long term with vanguard. and now, we're back here again... no jobs, no kids, just us.

video coming in. an entire neighborhood mercilessly pummels an individual and tries to steal his car. being called a blitz attack. we don't know where it took place. the license plateses indicate this is somewhere in michigan. this is scary stuff. >> yeah. insanity we're seeing across the country, the fact that criminals are no longer afraid of the police, which used to be, the tactic used, prosecution used to be a to instill fear in criminals, to prevent us from enacting criminal behavior. we've seen that completely and totally change after george floyd, to the degree that a sample was taken by "the new york times" that showed last year, 45% of, there was a 45% increase in retirements across police departments across the country. we're seeing this year in new york city alone about 1500 police officers have retired or resigned thus far in new york city. we know last year, i know this, because we, you and i have spoken about this last year,

liz, it was already an increase of i think about 38, 40% last year in police retirements from new york city itself. when we're think about this, we know that crime does happen of course in anywhere in any country but what should be the measure of fear in criminals is police officers being able to do their jobs. they know that now with d.a.s like gascon in california, los angeles county, san francisco d.a. who was just recalled, thank god, that perhaps these tough on crime policies were a thing of the past. hopefully we'll see a change here soon. elizabeth: to your point, americans have had it. the polls indicate that. you know, they shut america down, locked them up in their homes during the pandemic. >> yes. elizabeth: then defunded the police. now defund the police activists visited the biden white house, they met with top aides over the last year. this is according to fox news that took a look at the visitor

logs. there is that. that is not a good look for the white house. we have a mug shot coming in from paul pelosi. nancy pelosi's husband paul pelosi. he was arrested for a dui on may 28th. he was coming back to their vineyard and manchin from a dinner party. he blew through a red stop sign, hit 48-year-old man driving a jeep. they crashed into the porsche. not a good look here. >> beyond not a good look. the fact they were looking to seemingly protect them from that public exposure, exposure. they didn't want to release his photo. they didn't want to say if they would charge him for a dui, maybe this, maybe not. that wreaks of political influence from the speaker at least, the idea that the speaker could influence an investigation like this. this is a sad state of affairs but it is something that we continue to see in terms of corruption when it comes to politics in america. this happens in other places

across the country where someone influential has power, they seem to skirt the law. we saw nancy pelosi when it came, there was covid restrictions she is still out getting her hair done. we saw gavin newsom. still out at restaurants enjoying with his friends. it isn't criminal law but certainly democrats have had liberal privilege on, in a number of areas in this country. this is sad, disappointing and disgusting. elizabeth: people are voting with their feet, gianno, to your point. high crime, cost of living is destroying california. reports come in more than 360,000 left california in 2021. it is being called again the california exodus. you've been on the story. they're moving to states like texas, arizona, washington. california's -- >> florida. elizabeth: yeah, florida. it has been dropping for three decades now. now the push is on to recall another soft on crime prosecutor. l.a. d.a. george gascon. listen to the recall co-chair this is following in the steps

of the recall of san francisco's weak on crime prosecutor, chesa boudin. watch. >> well obviously i think it was a big lift to people in los angeles to recognize that their voices can be heard and we have less than a month. we are slated right now to turn in all of our signed petitions by july 6th. we believe that we certainly have a pathway to get the number of signatures we need to turn in and assuming that we get the number that we need to turn in, we're confident of course that we will then be on, gascon will be on a recall ballot. elizabeth: why, let me ask you this, why does it take a recall -- >> fingers crossed. elizabeth: why does it take a recall to wake them up? in 2020, gianno, we saw gun related homicides, homicides hit the highest level in more than 25 years. you know who is getting killed? most murders took place in urban areas and most of the victims are black? >> yep.

you know what, why does it take that? i have no idea in the state of california and in the city of los angeles county, rather los angeles and los angeles county. i don't know why they kept gavin newsom. that is still a mystery to me. i lived in l.a. from 2017 to may of 2020, two months into the l.a. shutdown, i had full on anticipation to move back there but now it has become unliveable. it is really a shame what they have done. it didn't used to be that you would walk outside of your house and fear getting mugged or robbed. but now people go to nice restaurant in beverly hills. criminals follow them home, rob them on their doorstep. this shouldn't be happening in any american city honestly. elizabeth: far left policies destroying california. >> absolutely. elizabeth: giano caldwell always a pleasure to have you come back on. >> same here. thank you. elizabeth: vice president kamala harris has yet to visit the border. she hasn't been there. the president hasn't been there either. they're taughting success at the

border as it collapses. you will find out what the vice president is saying next on "the evening edit." >> joe biden's the first president in the history of this nation who came into office and intentionally unsecured our border with makes this country less safe. ♪ it■s hard eating healthy. unless you happen to be a dog.

okay, u.s. federal judge tossed out record by his directive that would have narrowed who could be targeted for agents for arrested deportation, the first case coming down like this basically siding with texas and louisiana, bill melugin is at the border with more. >> would even, at any time there are thousands of migrant waiting in mexico to try to cross into the u.s. look at this video and mexico yesterday, a border city across from where we are. this is thousands of haitians waiting for an opportunity to cross into the u.s., more than 1000 waiting for a shelter, a majority of the haitians left haiti years ago, they been doing in south america, chile or brazil. the director of that local shelter tells us the numbers he's dealing with right now are overwhelming. listen. >> this is a result of people

taking, thinking the border is open. we are not equipped to handle this capacity, tends to thousands of thousands of families. >> this family the city directly across from del rio texas these are busloads of migrants from that caravan which started arriving late yesterday afternoon, they clearly wanted to cross into the u.s. but mexican authorities stopped and detained them and took them away from the area. we will update viewers to find out more about what happened with the mexican authorities and migrants. elizabeth: great journalism, thanks for joining us. joining us now is texas attorney general ken paxton, to seal. republicans are trying to demonstrate gains among latinos, latino voters in south texas. they made an investment flipping the 34th district and tested

texas special elections tomorrow, what do you foresee? >> good news for republicans, it said it has to happen this way but at least in texas, they are realizing the biden administration is doing, great harm to their economic ability and their safety and they know it. they see it every day and anybody knows what's going on, it's the people living on the border so i think they will react by voting republican. elizabeth: let's watch kamala harris claiming the president border policy is a success. >> i launched a call to action on north and central america. encourage civil society to deepen their commitment to the region and expand collaboration, to contribute to the long-term development. i'd like to thank the chamber of commerce.

long-term efforts and progress. elizabeth: long-term efforts? the border is in immediate collapse, collapsing now. the size of nebraska has been crossing. >> i think they view it as a success, the more who comes the better. their policies have been implement it and they are all about inviting as many people to come across the border as fast as possible, it doesn't matter their background or if they had covid, they are just telling the world, get here as fast as you can and we will let you in. elizabeth: you see what's happening, countries are seeing entire spots of population head to the u.s. border, it's unsustainable and we have morale plunging inside border patrol because there's animosity between the white house and border patrol, what are you hearing on that front?

>> i've talked to borchert patrol many times and they are frustrated because they can't do their job, they are told to bring these people in, it's not like they are trying to stop people from coming in, border patrol our logistics agent, the cartel know they can bring them in, they are not running away, they are running to border patrol and they are not allowed to do their job. they are just transitioning people from one country to another working out logistics not stopping illegal immigration for the drug trafficking because they are not allowed to. elizabeth: what is texas doing with the border? >> we are fighting in every way we can, we've had success friday with the wind stopping the biden administration from importing criminals and not detaining criminals because they are trying to make sure criminals run three brief around the country, that's how extreme this administration is in you've got our legislature and governor putting resources along the border limited by federal law to what we can do and we can't takm
