just have to wait until eventually global inflation recedes. president biden: america always counted on union workers. you have never ever, ever, ever let the country down. we're counting on you to build a country for all of us. help build an economy that works for working people. i promise you, i will keep fighting for you!

talking 0.75 basis-point hike, not a half-point. joining us congressman darrell issa from house judiciary, along with forbes media chair editor-in-chief steve forbes. you heard what the president is saying. there is major discontent with elected officials, steve. we're seeing number of attempted recalls more than doubling since 2019. when you heard the president talking about inflation, what was your reaction? >> still in a budge, still feeling if you shout loud enough, trying to paint a rosy picture enough people will fall for it. people won't fall for it. they go shopping, buy gasoline. see what's happening. they have a feeling, rightful feeling, this government and federal reserve are at loose ends. they don't know what to do. they're in unchartered waters it shows by what they're saying doing, and not doing. elizabeth: take it back to representative, congressman, darrell issa. you heard what steve was saying,

congressman. crime, inflation, it is really driving voters in primaries in five states today, maine, nevada, north dakota, south carolina, also texas. congressman, people don't feel safe. they don't like the mayhem. why did it take so long to deliver legislation to increase protection for supreme court justices at their homes? >> it was a about politics and nancy pelosi and aoc. i think maybe the elections in san francisco began to be a signal to even nancy pelosi that law and order, enforcement of the law, all are starting to matter to voters including democrat voters in droves. obviously swing voters are coming to the republican party but you know, look, steve said something that i agree with almost 100% which is unchartered waters but in some ways in the '70s under jimmy carter we've seen a lot of this. what's different now is, we've got a broken supply chain that can be fixed in addition to runaway inflation and the beginning of a real recession.

elizabeth: you know to the congressman's point, steve, president biden has been losing his base. quinnepiac sees a drop in approval among hispanics women, millenials overall. he is underwater in 48 states in a new poll. so underwater he sneads scuba gear to get out. we said time and again. president is trying a new tack, trying to yell his way into better poll numbers. watch this. president biden: 100 million people have preexisting conditions. the only reason insurance company has to cover it is because of that law! by the way, republicans like portray me as a big spender. we have spent a lot of money. this year, by the end of the fiscal year we will have cut the federal deficit by another $1.6 trillion, in one year! when they come to you talk about big spenders, let them know, i

don't want to hear anymore of these lies about reckless spending. we're changing peoples lives. i have a plan to bring down the cost of gas and food. it is going to take time but the let the world coordinate the largest release what i have been able to do, largest release of oil from the global fund in history. million barrels a day. >> first, your reaction, steve? first of all it is strategic reserve, not global fund. what lives has he changed? mortgage rates tripled since 2020. poor, middle class are spending $6,000 this year to buy same stuff they bought last year because of inflation? >> the president yelling like that, trying to be full of energy, trying to show he is full any in charge, if he is fully in charge why isn't he delivering the goods? in terms of the great recovery he is talking about, we're still almost a million jobs short of

pre-pandemic employment picture. the economy is visibly slowing down now. it was negative in the first quarter. may be barely positive in the second quarter. for most people they feel they're in recession already because their incomes are being outpaced by rising prices. so when he makes that kind of talk people are wondering what planet he is on? people will react. then you have the federal reserve, liz, think you conquer inflation slowing the economy down. they are heading us for a recession, they believe only by recession they can cure inflation. how about stablizing the value of the dollar. that they won't do. elizabeth: that is a great point steve just made. you know, congressman, this is what the president is now talking about, he is talking about, he is claiming he is bringing down the deficit. he is wrong. $2.8 trillion deficit is second largest in u.s. history. it is going down because massive temporary pandemic spending is expiring.

pandemic spending tripled deficit 3 trillion or more. the 1.5 trillion biden is citing it is projection. 360 billion lower. way lower than the cbo projected. deficit is still bigger if congress didn't do anything and stand on their hands. >> you're exactly right, the permanent deficit, the permanent deficit is here, it is here to stay unless we increase productivity and prosperity. when he talks about the strategic petroleum reserve you know that is spending your savings thinking in fact it is income. income is new oil coming out of the ground. it is not what was saved up under the last administration being sent out. it won't last. he knows it. it also by the way didn't bring down the price of oil because oil is based on future and future is not bright unless we get not just asking saudi arabia to produce but we get back to producing that surplus we can produce. by the way until we start

producing natural gas, you will see those german and other countries turning back on their coal usage and that in fact is bad for the environment in many, many ways including not just climate change but coal is a fairly dirty energy. we have a cleaner energy. we used to export it. we're not exporting more of it until he allows that and shutting down federal lands, not granting permits which he has done by executive order, that is what is causing the future market to keep going higher that means higher prices not for everybody just now but in the future. elizabeth: i tell you, future, biden will be 86 if he wins another term. he is up against a more dynamic, potentially could be ron desantis, rick scott or we're taking maybe tom cotton or mike pence you know? so he has been around since the nixon era. his policy shop has been empty. not much of a track record. we thought he was going to unify the country. boy he is really threw a

fastball by everybody on that. >> he did. one thing people are angry about him, made no attempt to go to reach out to the republicans. it was my way or the highway. even when it comes to building highways he has put in restrictions new rules that makes it more difficult to get approval for these bridges and highways and infrastructure products. so people don't like that kind of non-delivery. elizabeth: congressman darrell issa, steve forbes, great interview. thank you so much. >> thank you. elizabeth: we have another hunter biden bombshell. startling potential national security threat? we've got audio you cannot miss. plus, congress finally moving on protection for supreme court justices after month of delays led by nancy pelosi. neighbors there by the justice's homes describing serious harrassment. we're digging in next on "the evening edit." >> any kind of federal judges are not by law allowed to be threatened that way and yet the justice department won't take action. they need to.

♪. elizabeth: welcome back. okay, this debate in washington, why did it take more than a month for the house to pass a law giving more pretext to supreme court justices at their hopes as protests there are

ramping up? david punt spunt is in washington with more. david. reporter: this is significant step protecting not only supreme court justices but also members of their families. last month senators introduced a bill that would give more protection to the justices and members of their families. not even a week ago a man threatened to kill justice brett kavanaugh. members of congress in both parties are frustrated it took so long to get to the house floor today. house majority leader steny hoyer told reporters the reason for the delay, democrats wanted to offer protection to family members of court employees, for example, not only family members of let's say, justice kavanaugh but family members of his clerks. ultimately that did not make it in the final bill. but some democrats still want it. >> republicans failed to protect families of supreme court

employees who are at risk. shame on you for doing that. reporter: white house says the president supports the bill to protect justices and members of their families. as soon as it gets to his desk he is expected to sign it. liz? elizabeth: thanks for coming on. we have congressman dan bishop. always a pleasure to have you on. there are new details about the wannabe kavanaugh assassin. nicholas roske he came by cab with a gun and ammo. he saw u.s. marshals, texted his sister, talked him out of it, called 911. his lone sister stopped him. >> that is not heartening, is it, liz? the issue, left is protesting outside of justices homes. they published addresses of justices homes. the tweet came out from the group named after ruth bader

ginsburg, i can't remember the name, posted church of justice barrett and the school her children go to school. you wonder how low they go. we could have done it friday easily by unanimous consent on the floor. democrats delayed the bill to provide additional protections to the justices families. i'm glad we got that done today. elizabeth: we have 27 democrats who voted against it. watch house minority leader kevin mccarthy watch this. >> for some reason we continue to come to the floor, you feel some pressure on that bill, but you change it, the country will know why, because if you change the bill, and move it back to the senate you're trying to kill it. you're trying to delay it. that is exactly what you're doing. i think you're jeopardizing peoples lives. i think you're jeopardizing the safety of the supreme court. i think you're playing more

games than anybody in this country can understand and we do not understand why. because there has been no cheap answer. why would you hold the bill for more than a month? why would you hold the bill after somebody's arrested that traveled across the country to kill a justice? why would you continue to hold the bill now? elizabeth: so why? >> you have got to wonder if there is any bottom to their conduct, liz. i certainly can't explain it. as you said, 27 voted against it today. if, notion was they wanted to extend the protection to the families of clerks, well, if that is the case, it seems like maybe they know the identity of the leaker, that america still don't know a month 1/2 later. whatever the reason, i think the leader had it right. leader mccarthy, what are they doing? this is, i have, america has never witnessed this kind of trampling on institutional norms and disregard for the safety of those who are most important in our system of justice.

elizabeth: you know senator elizabeth warren today criticized for using inflammatory rhetoric. the senator said quote, extremist supreme court is poised to overturn roe v. wade now is not the time to back down. is this all about intimidation? that is how the left operates? we got reports that the neighbors of justice kavanaugh are scared. protesters have shaken up their homes, disrupted their lives. they're scaring children. justice barrett and kavanaugh have children. they're protesters are abusive. they're shouting things like f-you, f-your children. this could get worse. protesters are chanting riots could happen if they don't get what they want. neighbors say overwhelmingly people from outside the area are organizing the protests. they fire bombed pregnancy centers in and attacking churches too. >> there is no decency on the left on this issue. they consider themselves not to be constrained by any sense of decency whatsoever.

the story that you made reference to talks about children being afraid in their homes, children of neighbors of the justices. they can't be put to bed at a normal hour because of ongoing clamor outside. is there going to be any decency? is there any left? elizabeth: january 6th was a horrible day. january 6th was awful. we have the january 6th hearings going on but we hear silence from nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, democrats about illegal protests at justices homes. they're playing with fire. ag garland still not enforcing the law. harrassment and intimidation of our justices at their homes is illegal. top democrat hakeem jeffries, is equating republicans calling for protecting justices bringing up the quote, january 6th insurrection. how can you tie the two? >> i always said and said on the floor today, liz, when we were getting ready to pass the bill, there is not a republican i can name who has failed to condemn the violence on capitol hill on

january 6th. they say they condemn violence but you never see them condemn specific acts. president biden at this moment has not condemned this misconduct, this harrassment, this intimidation of justices outside of their homes. he hasn't done it. elizabeth: throw the book at them. congressman bishop. thanks for joining us. we're not a third world country. we're the united states of america. >> exactly. elizabeth: president biden flip-flops about a trip to saudi arabia downplays it is about soaring gas. is the president turning to saudi arabia with rising gas destroys his polls and he destroys the u.s. oil and gas, that industry there? we're breaking that down next on "the evening edit." >> there is nothing coming out of the democrats that fixes supply chain, gas prices, energy independence, any of these things, baby formula. they have nothing. they have no plan to fix anything. ♪ w and want to make the right moves fast...

saudi arabia is a -- state. campaigned will hold saudi arabia accountable. biden is going to saudi arabia in july. sounding more and more like trump. he has got to talk to him. the media was silent over that when they a attacked trump over that. >> it's a different world. the reason president is talking to saudi arabia despite what they tell you is all about oil. liz, you and i know president biden is in a fight for his political life. he knows the reason his approval ratings are so bad because gasoline prices are so high. the american public blames him and rightly so because they know his energy policies, this green energy transition are why as high as they are. not just saudi arabia, liz. they're reaching out to iran again believe it or not. the state department today came out and said you know what? we might be able to get a deal with iran. get rid of extraneous issues.

maybe get a deal there. they have released oil from the strategic petroleum reserve. they are doing everything about it. elizabeth: the white house is downplaying the president's trip to saudi arabia claiming it is not about oil and gas. watch this. >> i'm saying there is nothing to preview for you at this time but i will say this, you know, to view engagement with saudi arabia on energy security as asking for oil is simply wrong and a misunderstanding of both the complexity of that issue and our multifaceted discussions with the saudis. elizabeth: so why are we wasting taxpayer dollars on the trip, right? so why is he going? so again, why is he going then if it is not about oil and gas? >> well, it is probably the only other reason is to reverse one of the biggest strategic geopolitical blunders in recent presidential history, right? you know the way he came in and bludgeoned saudi arabia policy, failed to take into account the intricacies of the middle east,

right? and that even though we don't like saudi arabia and they're not our favorite people we still had a lot of strategic interests with them and it is going to be interesting to see the difference of his arrival in saudi arabia unlike president trump who is basically welcomed, you know, you know, hero's welcome, right? because of his policies of being tough on iran, saudis loved him. because of that, you know, we saw some of the most significant progress in the middle east towards arab countries recognizing israel. that was all under president trump. elizabeth: here is the thing. the u.s. went from 12.9 million-barrels a day in u.s. production to 2019. it plunged to 9.7 million in 2021. it is 11.9 million. we have 270 million barrels to

229 million. keystone pipeline, killed 11,000 jobs, cancel oil leasing in the gulf, pushed banks to defund u.s. oil and gas. we have so much going on with what the white house is doing to undercut u.s. energy. now we've got five states in the west, new mexico, colorado, utah among them saying it will be impossible to build out the half million electric charging car stations that white house wants. biden wants that infrastructure but not existing u.s. oil and gas infrastructure? >> yeah, absolutely. listen, president biden's dream to electrify america, we don't have the power grid for it, right? we don't have the technology to power the power grid right now. we're having blackouts not only places where they have droughts, places in the midwest, indiana, other parts of the country. this is why his energy policy is totally out of touch with america and out of touch with reality and that reality -- elizabeth: talk to you about

you're going to kill a pipeline or make something illegal. the other thing, gasoline prices, the biden administration has done everything they can to shut down refineries. now we're seeing that at the pump. elizabeth: phil flynn, got it. great stuff. >> thank you. elizabeth: biden border crisis. new reports are surfacing, hundreds of illegal border-crossers seriously injuring themselves falling off the border wall into u.s. territory. plus hunter biden's ex-wife breaking her silence about their marriage. new reports that the president's son, is he a national security threat? we've got new details coming up on "the evening edit". dad, we got this.

revealed she didn't know much about his financial dealings. what do you think? >> frankly i'm not surprised. she is breaking her silence now. not surprised by revelations of hunter biden. he has had problems in the past. we know he was heavily involved when president biden was involved when he was vice president in the administration, definitely as a u.s. senator. that is what we have to get to the bottom of. elizabeth: in her new book, joe liked to describe himself as the poorest man in congress. hunter told kathleen they came from middle class family. she worried that they lived above their means. no middle class family has a ballroom in their house. that hunter quote, had instant entry into the world of power because he had a u.s. senator as a father. that is something money could not buy. >> first of all, listen, joe biden's brother and his son hunter biden have been in this world of influence for years. they have been cutting deals all over the globe.

"the new york times" is the one that reported about hunter biden negotiating a cobalt mine in africa with the chinese. so they have been using his influence as a senator, then as vice president, now as president to make money for the family. yeah he might have grew up middle class but joe biden doesn't live middle class. elizabeth: they're making, we reported yesterday, congressman, bidens were on the both sides of infrastructure deals involving, trying to do this involving u.s. states and china's big player in the belt and road push cefc.

man i most admired to you that got to me. i'm a god. my brother did too. the three of us, it was literally i had the support to know i can do anything. elizabeth: so the president talks about anything hunter wanted? he talks about anything hunter wants and he is, as hunter is doing overseas deals with china, russia, kazakhstan and ukraine? >> first of all, a couple things. any parent of adult children you talk to them about their business dealings f they bring something to you, i'm sure you talk about it and talk about it with them. the problem here is that joe biden has denied knowing anything about hunter biden's business deals all over the globe. we all know that's not true. we all know that's a lie. any parent would know exactly what is going on in the life of their children if they loved them and are involved with them the way joe biden loves to talk about hunter biden. so the facts are there. the common sense is there house republicans have a responsibility to actually

investigate this. so we get down to the bottom of how much influence is hunter biden peddling. does that actually diminish the united states' capacity both here at home and across the globe. elizabeth: you and congressman james comer, ranking member of house oversight are on this. how do you see this as a national security threat? we had a text, hunter complained in a text to his daughter he gave as much as half of is earnings to his father. how do you and your team at house oversight see this as a national security threat? >> a number of things. listen, first of all if he is cutting deals with some of our adversaries across the globe that benefit them, i just bought up the cobalt mine he helped broker for china. that is major conflict of interest especially when last week joe biden unleashed a defense product act for more solar panels. folks, we don't make a lot of solar panels here in the united states. we get them from china. that is where they come from, especially minerals that go into it as well.

bank. paul pelosi has a lot of money in the bank. she profited wildly from her position. we talked about the biden family. this is somewhat similar in many regards. she couldn't care about her legacy. she is here that the time is combing for her to exit stage left. time for the real radicals like aoc and "squad" to take over. she will retire comfortably probably in a red state like florida. elizabeth: we're looking at a mug shot of paul pelosi. the crash happened in late may. blew through a stop sign. crashed the jeep five miles from their napa home. allegedly driving under the influence. he was arrested. napa officials are not releasing the body cam footage of the arrest. saying that could jeopardize the investigation. did the mug shot jeopardize the investigation? >> we have the mug shot now. i don't think this is

jeopardizing anything. this took weeks to get the mug shot. we need the body cam footage, the dash-cam footage. any crash from a drunk tank. if this average joe in california we would have access to the information. but the pelosi families like others in california are protected no different than gavin newsom like others in high places. you can be under the influence as long as you have influence. this breed as lot of contempt for the american people looking at politicians, rules for us, not rules for them. they seem to get away with these things scot-free. or at least their names go unscathed given prominence, wealth, how much influence they wield especially places like california where democrats are certainly in charge. elizabeth: tomi, that is what is striking right? pelosi has been pretty much silent how desperate things are in california. reports are coming in that people are so unhappy, moving to the mexico. fleeing high taxes, high crime, defund the police, open-air drug

flee markets. weak on crime d.a.s. we have brownouts, raging wildfires and more. >> this has been a problem in california for many years. i think it is just reaching a fever pitch now. the california people are getting upset. we saw unsuccessful recall of gavin newsom. but seeing other d.a.s are in trouble. i think george gascon is probably next in los angeles. people are unhappy. they need to change the way they vote but i don't think democrats are too worried. they have such a stranglehold especially over prominent unions, they believe they will remain in power. unfortunately because of influence they wield, they probably will. i think californians are going to flee instead of trying to make their state better, which is really a shame. elizabeth: tomi, what is striking? precinct by precinct voting maps in chesa boudin recall, weak wen crime d.a. in san francisco? it shows minority voters turned out, blacks, hiss panics, asians turned out way more than college

educated affluent whites. minority communities suffer more when crime is soaring. nancy pelosi, chuck schumer and democrats have been silent about that. >> how insulting is it they believe coddling felons and thugs is a benefit to especially inner cities and minority communities, communities already under served? this is product of the defund the police movement as we as activists d.a.s. we need to get rid of those policies. we need to get rid of those politicians. i think you will see across the nation, especially places soft on crime with activists d.a.s i think you see the american people turn out. as you mentioned it is not nancy pelosi and gavin newsom those that live in fancy gated communities with security guards in trouble. it is average americans, inner-city americans feeling brunt of this crime wave. culture of lawlessness. i have a feeling no identity politics will save democrats with free and fair elections. i think we'll see a big turnout. elizabeth: got it. tomi lair ren, good to see you.

-- tomi lahren. fentanyl keepings coming in over the border states are shattering records but the white house has no concrete solution. that is next on "the evening edit." >> the amount of fentanyl coming into this country is astronomical. leading cause of death of americans 18 to 45. not to mention the human trafficking issues. i don't know. we should be talking about stopping the flow. not managing the flow. ♪ another crazy day? of course—you're a cio in 2022. but you're ready. because you've got the next generation in global secure networking from comcast business. with fully integrated security solutions all in one place. so you're covered. on-premise and in the cloud. you can run things the way you want —your team, ours or a mix of both.

elizabeth: okay, the president's broken border, it's fueling the rise of dangerous drugs and crime in our nation. we're talking indiana, kentucky, ohio, montana now seeing record overdose deaths driven by fentanyl and meth. bill melugin is at the border with more. if you have kids nearby or children, watch out. some of what bill is about to report is pretty graphic. >> reporter: the numbers here are just nonstop. a dhs source telling us over the last 24 hours alone in the rio grande valley sector upwards of 1,400 illegal crossings, and we've gotten to witness that ourselves. take a look at video about 40 minutes away from where we are right now. this was a single, massive group of around 250 illegal immigrants and who crossed into texas. and mixed in with that group

were 138 unaccompanied children. listen to this. just since october there have been more than 85,000 of these unaccompanied children found here at border. just to give you an idea of that perspective, that is enough to fill up the dallas cowboys' stadium and still have some left over when it comes to these unaccompanieded kids. this second piece of video, more of that large group we saw last night. a dhs source telling us in the last two weekes alone here in the rgv, more than 20,000 illegal crossings including numerous sex offenders and ms-13 gang members, since october more than 3500 -- 355,000 illegal crossings here in the rgv. and listen to this, this is bizarre, they arrested a sex offender from el salvador who was sentenced to 20 years for forceful penetration of an inanimate object. no further details on that one. back yo who -- back to you. elizabeth: what a story.

mike howell, your reaction to that report. it's good to see you. >> well, i'd much rather have that activity occur south of the border, not in our neighborhoods. that's why we have got to get back to the policies of the trump administration where the border was actually secure, its most secure level ever, and now it's at the worst level ever. it's because of the crisis by design. this is the new normal. the biden administration wants us to get used to this as a country because they want to fundamentally transform this country via illegal immigration. help cannot get her seen inform -- here soon enough. hopefully, we get some common sense conservatives to actually legislate on this and hold the administration accountable. elizabeth: why isn't the media in these pressers directly how come you've never been to the border? i know our team has tried to do that at fox, but how come he's allowed to get away with not answering questions about why he's not been to the border. nearly 250 border crossers fell

off the border wall in the el paso, texas, sector alone. they're breaking they are legs, damaging their backs and necks. >> yeah, that's a great question. it's because the media's basically been totally captured by the left apart from a few organizations. president biden's hidden away and defers to his press secretary to do the horse and pony show every now and then. border does not come up as a topic because, frankly, the left isn't as concerned about this as everyday, regular americans are. you were just talking about overdose deaths. 100,000 plus a year? that is more than vietnam, iraq, afghanistan, 9/11 all combined in terms of deaths. when will our leaders wake up and understand that fentanyl pouring across the border able to get into this country because we've lost control, because of the huge flows of illegal immigration, needs to be shut down. elizabeth: we've got to get to this, the families of teens who died after overdosing on drugs, snapchat and social media, listen to ed terman, his son

died from this. he runs a nonprofit that's fighting this problem. watch. >> the drug landscape has been completely upended by the convergence of two forces, essentially fentanyl and fakery. so drug dealers are using this very powerful opioid as the raw material of choice to put in pressed pills that are deliberately made to look just like the meditation occasions that this generation of kids grew up with. dealers are on all social media sites. snapchat is where a lot of these meet-ups are made because that's popular among this age group. we're an anti-pill tiktok site, and they come on and say, hey, by the way, come hit me up on instagram. elizabeth: what do you say, mike? >> it's hosk, it's tragedy, and the first thing to do is secure or -- our border and get it under control. elizabeth: in san francisco, overdoses deaths are killing more people than covid. final word. >> it's a national emergency.

it's time to take this seriously before it gets too late and we lose even more. elizabeth: mike howell, come back soon. i'm elizabeth macdonald, you've been watching "the evening edit" on fox business. thank you so much for watching, and we we hope you have a good evening. ♪ kennedy: the entire biden administration living in a fantasy land where down is up, night is day, and dogs are sleeping with cats and old people are young again. it's why they think the economy is doing great, you guys, and the president is in perfect mental and physical health. help, rather, he needs help. let's go to the economy first. today we got a comical amount of bad news. wholesale inflation in may hitting a new record of 0.8% -- 10.8% from over may of last year, and that's the day after we learned consumer inflation
