we're tracking the latest details. and to the hunter biden scandal taking another wild turn when a new report reveals about the contacts found on hunter's laptop. three texas counties taking aggressive measure to curb biden's open border policy. we have that and much more. i'm jackie deangelis in for elizabeth macdonald. the"the evening edit" starts rit now. jackie: good evening, welcome, everybody. stocks staging a huge comeback as fears about a possible recession loom over the markets. the business world blasting the white house response to inplaying and ongoing pain at the pump as president biden accusing gas station as i cross the country of price gouging. edward lawrence with us at the white house with more.
6:02 pm
edward? reporter: jackie, some big long-term supporters of president joe biden starting to distance him themselves from his policies. "washington post" owner amazon founder jeff bezos, bezos responded by saying inflation is far too important a problem for the white house to keep making statements like this. it is either straight ahead misdirection or a deep understanding of basic market dynamics. besos finds himself in the unique position arguing making same criticism as some republican. >> all of this is due to the policies of this white house and a democratic-led congress and house. this could be changed right now. joe biden could say we'll open up domestic production of oil and gas. we'll remove regulations to allow drilling in all the different places in our country yet he refuses to do that. reporter: still in the president's 4th of july address he prepared americans for more pain ahead. president biden: our economy is
6:03 pm
growing but not without pain. liberty is under assault, assault both here and abroad. reporter: he will take his economic message on the road to try to persuade americans that his economy is working for everyone. jackie? jackie: edward lawrence thank you so much for that. millions of americans though say that they have been forced to dip into their savings due to skyrocketing prices. here to discuss, lee zeldin house financial services and fox news contributor liz peek. great to see you both this evening. congressman, i will start with you, ask you what you make of this administration and its explanations on inflation because it seems very misdirected. there are the love americans out there that know what is going on. they take their wallet or credit card out to pay for something. it seems continuous spin from this white house it is always somebody's else fault. always passing the buck. >> the average american knows how this is impacting their
6:04 pm
lives, they know how it is impacting their country and what they want to see is an administration that says this is exactly what's happening in your life. this is exactly what is happening in our country and this is what we're going to do to fix it. that would be responsible, competent governance. that is what the expectations is of americans. so when, instead they just see the blame being thrown around to everybody else and you're not speaking in a way that relates to the average person. you're not talking about the solutions with the power that you've been entrusted in. that is why you see the eroding poll numbers of this administration right now. a loss of confidence and certainly a lack of confidence, and a lot of americans are frustrated. the one of reasons they want to see balance of power restore, they're losing eroding faith in one-party rule in d.c. jackie: i think you're spot on with that. liz, americans see right through
6:05 pm
this. as a matter of fact, president biden again tweeting, essentially telling gas station owners it is their job to lower prices. there was a response to that from the oil and gas association. they said working on it, mr. president. in the meantime have a happy 4th and please make sure the white house intern who posted this tweet registers for econ 101 for the fall semester. it is also funny and not funny, liz, because we really know how pricing work, if anybody understood the industry the way i've been studying it over the last 15 years, the gas station owners paid for gas at a higher price. just because the price of oil has come down, that oil has not been refined yet. that is why it takes a while. there is a little bit after lag, why the administration, secretary granholm, nobody understands this. >> you know, jackie i think they understand it. i think they're just casting around desperately for someone to pin the blame on and since american consumers interact with gas stations this seems like the
6:06 pm
most likely target but, oh, my gosh, this is so feeble, by the way, it is extraordinary in this time when this president has epically low approval ratings and all kind of comes back to energy and fueling inflation on all kinds of other goods as well as gasoline at the pump, they still won't pivot. i mean that is the amazing thing to me. for example, the epa has just come out in the last several days and threatened to impose ozone restrictions on the permian basin. the permian basin, jackie, is responsible for 43% of our oil output. this could seriously damage oil production right now at this time when we need every drop of oil we can produce and joe biden is traveling over to saudi arabia pretty soon, hat in hand, asking for more. what is wrong with these people? it's incredible to me. jackie: no. they say keep drilling on the leases. there are 9,000 oil and gas leases but they don't talk about
6:07 pm
the regulations they continue to put in place. that is a great point. >> yeah. jackie: congressman, i want to many could back to you, earlier today peter doocy was questioning the pest secretary at the white house, on president's blame game on high gas prices. reporter: how does the president go from blaming high prices on putin to big oil, to small business owners? >> what the president is saying every long along that chain, that production chain line needs to, need to make sure they're doing what is possible, their part in bringing down the costs for the american people. that is what we're asking. consumers should not, should not be the first to pay and the last to benefit. jackie: so, congressman, the response is essentially incoherent. we also know that the mom and pop gas station owners don't make that much on gas. the gas as a matter of fact, is essentially a draw to bring people into the convenience store, to buy products, coffee, food, as they are making their way on the journey. yet he is pointing finger at gas
6:08 pm
stations rather than looking at the big picture here. that it is putin's problem and this is a war. americans should suck it up at the pump to deal with it because it is our responsibility to fund this war? >> you're saying that the small business owner has to do their part, that the producer has to do their part. well what's the responsibility on the part of the white house? what is the leadership by the biden administration here? is it to run off to other countries? if you're going to cut off russian oil imports the average american doesn't want to see you run being off to iran and venezuela and others. they say ram the up domestic energy production, let's become energy independent again. we see it at federal level. certain states enact bans. i'm in new york where there is a ban on the safe extraction of these natural resources. they sit on the march sell just and utica shale. there are pipeline applications in d.c. there are pipeline applications in some state capitals.
6:09 pm
we see that in new york, where instead of approving these new pipelines, they end up being delayed and denied. what is your responsibility? that is really the question that is being asked of the white house press secretary and the answer is for the administration to stand up and to lead and to say this is everything in our power that we can do to help the american people and this is what we're going to do about it. this is our timeline. this is our responsibility. we don't hear any of that coming from them. jackie: yeah. i have another one for you, i will be remiss if i go to break without playing the sound bite, liz. because we're looking at average price for gasoline, 4.08, down 20 cents. on a 15-gallon tank, you're saving three bucks. prices are still 50% higher than they were a year ago, over the weekend vice president calm calm harris laughed off the gas price crisis. >> what we need to do domestically, what we need to bring down the cost of gas, well, right? , right? >> i seen a meme the other day,
6:10 pm
me googling online to make gas at home. >> oh, don't do that. don't do that. [laughter]. please don't do that [laughter] >> liz peek, final word to you, i mean seriously? >> kamala harris is just as clueless as joe biden. unfortunately there is no one in this white house seems to know what they're doing. that is hurting not only democrats, generally speaking, it is hurting our country. great to see you both. congressman lee zeldin, liz peek, we'll have you back soon. >> thank you, jackie. jackie: the hunter biden scandal takes another wild turn. what a new report reveals about the contacts that were found on hunter's laptop. plus we're learning more about the gunman who opened fire at a july 4th parade in illinois killing at least seven people. got a live report on that ahead. ♪. >> they were passing out doughnuts to the kids and we were passing out the flags for

♪. jackie: we are learning new details about the gunman who opened fire at a july 4th parade in illinois, killing at least seven people, injuring dozens more. police say the suspect disguised himself as a woman, and planned this attack for several weeks. for more let's get trait to mike tobin in highland park, illinois, with the latest for us. hi, mike. reporter: start you off with the details. police said he planned the attack for weeks and dressed like a woman to avoid identification on the day of the attack. he wrapped his rifle in a red blanket. he climbed a fire escape to one of the businesses you see behind me here. he got on the rooftop in a sniper position. he used that rifle to unload 70 rounds in rapid fire succession. the rifle is described as a high-powered rifle, similar to an to an ar-15. he discarded it on the rooftop. he folded himself in into the crowd with people panicked. he went to his mother's house.
6:16 pm
he fled to madison, wisconsin, before returning and was arrested six miles from this location. authorities had run-ins with him back in 2019. first a suicide threat, then a threat to hurt others. >> it was a mental health issue handled by those professionals. crimo said he was going to kill everyone. crimo had a collection of knives. the police responded to his residence. the police removed 16 knives, a dagger, a sword from primo's home. reporter: police say a total of 45 people were injured out here. 7th gunshot victim passed away today. parade goers described the terror. >> people walking with blood on their shirts and blood on their pants and listened to a woman wandering the streets screaming her child's name trying to find her child. >> it didn't stop. you wanted it to stop, stop. it kept on going. he reloaded, whoever that person
6:17 pm
was, he just continued to shoot it. so we just, i just, all i knew i had to keep on moving to get him out of the way, to get us to safety. reporter: democrat illinois governor jb pritzker brought the discussion to assault weapons even though the town of highland park has an assault weapons ban. >> our founders carried muskets, not assault weapons. i don't think a single one of them would have said that you have a constitutional right to an assault weapon with a high capacity magazine. reporter: police say crimo had a total of five guns. one rifle left on roop top here. another rifle discovered in his car when he was arrested. he had a shotgun and two handguns, all of them purchased after his run-ins with authorities. police say he is talking to investigators but they still don't have an idea on a motive, why this happened. we're waiting on criminal charges. jackie? jackie: mike tobin, thank you so much for that. our hearts go out to all the
6:18 pm
victims and their families. joining me former new york city police commissioner howard safir. howard, great to see you. i want to get your perspective on this as more details are starting to emerge. when you stand back and look at the problem we have with crime in this country, with mass shootings in this country, 50 people were shot here in new york city over the weekend as well. it is not just one place, one area, one type of person. some people would say it is all about the guns. we need tighter gun control. others will say it's about red flags, the communities, support, the breakdown of society, that is not creating a safety net to catch these individuals. the fact that we've defunded our police, where do you stand on all of this? >> well it is all of those things but the truth is there are lots of things that we can do to prevent many of these mass shootings. we had an individual confronted by the police, weapons were taken from him. they knew he had issues, that he
6:19 pm
wanted to kill people. it was reported no where. the problem with a red flag law unless you have the data being put into the red flag systems you're just going to have nothing but after-action reports aren't actually preventing things. jackie: right. >> also the atmosphere -- jackie: you're talking specifically about the incident that mike tobin brought up in his report with respect to the knives, right? that could have been a red flag but there were also the social media posts, indicating that this was a troubled individual as well. >> well, you know, i had this thing about social media. they can instantly with an algorithm decide whether or not your political views are theirs, take you off their network. they could do the same thing with people on social media posting threatening posts and notify police, that they don't do it. we should be requiring them to do that.
6:20 pm
jackie: our understanding so far of the facts that have been released, howard, was that this individual was able to legally purchase a gun, but clearly that wasn't necessarily the issue, right? you look at the mental health problems that surround a police like this that would commit a tragic crime like this, you say to yourself, how is it that nobody spoke up? >> well, that's a good question, but you know there are ways to fix that as well. you know legally purchased this semiautomatic assault rifle. i have been pushing for very long, it is not a terribly hard fix, you can buy a machine gun legally in this country, go to a police station, fingerprinted, background check done, pay $200 to get the machine gun. why not put the assault weapons in the same classification? that way, an individual who wants to get an assault weapon
6:21 pm
would have to be scrutinized by the police, rather than walking, putting $1000 now to get a gun? there are lots of things that can be done. of course we have to change the atmosphere. jackie: right. >> with all these leftist district attorneys, with all of these no bail laws, we have basically sent the message to criminals they can do whatever they want. look what happened in chicago this past week? jackie: there are no consequences for these kinds of actions. yet we see these kinds of events taking place across the country time after time. nothing really changes with respect to the leadership, with respect to how we treat our police, with respect as you said, d.a.s putting people away, making sure the message is sent, if you do this, you will go to jail. howard, we're out of time. always great to have your insight. >> great to be with you. jackie: the hunter biden scandal is taking another wild turn. what a new report reveals about the contacts that were found on
6:22 pm

the latest information that we have is that the laptop links at least 10 senior google executives to the president's son, according to a new "new york post" report. one former google executive telling the post that quote, hunter sought the tech giant's cash for chinese ventures and that several ever the companies bigwigs wound up working for the obama-biden administration. how coincidental. federalist senior editor chris bedford. great to see you, more information comes off the laptop. becomes more evident of the ties hunter biden had to china but now you bring this google piece into it which i think is so interesting, right? because you need cash to fund these ventures and some of these people end up working for the obama-biden administration? >> this is some of the stuff we kind of assumed from the very beginning but the white house and hunter both dodged it or denied it and it is coming out drip, drip.
6:27 pm
really clear whether with ukrainian gas companies or with the chinese here that hunter was paid for his access, access to the upper echelons of society. his dad was vice president of barack obama. barack obama was the big tech president. people wrote books how closely he worked with google, facebook, twitter, other places to really capture that election that was considering something groundbreaking and amazing. he brought a lot of those folks in. when donald trump did later it was considered evil and attacking democracy but with obama it was very close. so closely tied to the chinese government already, this is more evidence of corruption he was involved in, the way he leveraged his father's power to make money and possibly be compromised. jackie: i have to do this. we all remember the moment that joe biden said he denied ever having any awareness of his son's overseas business dealings. listen to this. >> mr. vice president, how many times have you ever spoken to
6:28 pm
your son about his overseas business dealings? reporter: i have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings. i have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses, period. jackie: of course, chris, we had those emails potentially referring to him as the big guy, the named person the big guy was referring to. he will stand there and tell people he knows nothing about it. somehow this is anticipatable to the american people? >> he will stand there and tell people he knows nothing about it. reporters around peter doocy won't ask him questions about it. "the new york times" is disinterested in this. cnn wants to call this russian disinformation for example. facebook, all the big all the th companies, working with china all these years, working with liberals in the democratic party will call it disinformation and sense sorry it. seems like a lot of things are going against this story to try to stop it but drip, drip, the truth keeps coming out.
6:29 pm
they can ignore it as long as they want. they have a lot of allies out there. chinese don't want to talk about it. press don't want to talk about it, besides fox business, examiner, "daily caller." the facts are out there. the voters will decide for themselves. approval ratings for the president things are not going well for him on that. jackie: among the names of dozens of government officials and federal employees found on hunter biden's laptop, secretary of state john kerry, u.s. ambassador to china, max baucus, served during the biden vice presidency. the more detail that we get about this, the more complicit people become. >> it is kind of a view inside how much so much of the swamp works, a lot in d.c. works, so much is access. people may seem to have low skills, crack cocaine problems may be a lunatic like hunter biden they still have access to important and powerful people. able to leverage that to help their friends. foreign governments and they
6:30 pm
often become compromised by those dealings. jackie: ironic the way the media and some attacked president trump that they were leveraging the situation to their benefit. when it comes to hunter biden and the laptop, they don't want to hear everything about it. >> everyone makes money in d.c. the trump family did not. jackie: no they did not. they made it elsewhere. went to d.c. with their money. thank you, chris. three texas counties taking aggressive measures to counter biden's open border policy. we'll talk about that ahead with arizona attorney general mark brnovich. >> they are fed up. they will formally ask the governor of texas to declare invasion, to take action on the border, start enforcing the law on the border since the federal government is refusing to do it.

the number of illegal migrant crossings has reached unprecedented levels. they are calling it an invasion. this as the u.n. declares the southern border, quote, deadliest land crossing in the world. officials say in may they saw the highest number of migrant encounters ever recorded, hitting more than 239,000. still, got homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas insisting the biden administration, they have got it under control. listen. >> i think that we are doing a good job. the migration that is occurring throughout the hemisphere is reflective of the economic downturn. increase in violence throughout the region. the, the result of covid-19 pandemic. the results of climate change. >> all right. so he thinks they're doing a good job. there are a lot of people who would disagree with that. joining us now arizona attorney
6:36 pm
general mark brnovich. mark, always great to see you. let's start with the classification today. you and i had many conversations about this. we know how dire the situation is down at the border but creating this distinction in some way, is that going to help solve the problem because clearly secretary mayorkas has no plan on doing anything? >> no, absolutely not. what the biden administration has done is systematically undermined the rule of law and what secretary mayorkas and what joe biden are doing doesn't survive rational thought yet alone legal scrutiny. as we know we've not only seen a record amount of migrants illegally enter our country which is overwhelming social services having a huge fiscal impact on american taxpayers, the cartels seized operational control. so we're seeing a record amount of men at that till, record amount of methaphetamine enter the country that is killing our nieces, nephews, sons and daughters. jackie: what has to happen,
6:37 pm
mark? we expand all it whatever we want. we say it's a crisis for the longest time, an invasion, but what has to happen to illicit change? that is what people who live in your state, other border states want to know. they feel like this president, this pad administration has essentially left them behind. they have been abandoned, they have to fend for themselves? >> absolutely, jackie. but remember, every state is a border state now as a result of migrants literally being put up in hotels and transported throughout the entire united states. all of us are paying the consequences. whether it is at the gas pump, grocery store, what we're seeing with gang activity in our communities and cartels seizing operational control we're all being impacted by this the reason why i have filed some lawsuits, we were successful in stopping joe biden from rescinding title 42. we're suing him over trying to make sure he builds the wall that american taxpayers paid for. making sure that we're not releasing felons and other people arrested into our communities. so it has to begin with
6:38 pm
enforcing existing law. and furthermore, i was the first official in the entire country, i issued an opinion saying what the biden administration is doing is undermining article iv of the u.s. constitution, section 4. because we're in the midst of an invasion right now. if joe biden will not do his job, it is up to governors to declare invasion, mobilize national guard, erecting barriers, arresting people, repatriating back to mexico and control the ports of entry. jackie: basically what i hear from you, sit tight until the midterms and get the red wave everybody is expecting and have congress to reinstitute legislation to take the materials we already paid for to try to finish the wall? right now we're sort of in this no-man's land, they say don't come but they really mean come, people are coming in droves? >> just remember, jackie, i'm not saying do nothing.
6:39 pm
i have been the leading proponent and advocate of pushing back against the overreach of biden administration like unconstitutional vaccine mandates but trying to force him to enforce existing law and protect us under the constitution. we have a lawsuit where joe biden wants dhs to grant asylum to people instead of immigration judges. there are all sorts of nonsense, shenanigans, the biden administration is doing to permanently undermine the administration. i'm in court every day, fighting title 42, asylum rules. we issued a formal legal opinion. people can go to our website check it out. i believe what happens now constitutes an invasion. it is up to governors of the respective states, to declare an invasion f joe biden and the federal government won't do its job, it is time for arizona to step up to do it for them. jackie: as you say reforming the immigration in this way, has

6:45 pm
the edge of the philadelphia international airport. perhaps you see all the activity back there behind me. pictures earlier today. we had it live on the fox business network. the latest in the operation fly formula shipments came here to philadelphia. as you report, two million eight ounce servings, coming from australia, from sydney to philadelphia, carrying two million of those shipments. the government has contracted with that australian company bubb australia for 25 million shipments. they will come over the course of the next few weeks. today's shipment going to walmart, a get, acme, and kroger stores. despite that we have still have shortages you may go to stores who have all the formula they need or some may not. out of stock rates, typically 10% stores out of stock. now more like a quarter and

gaining. at the last report middle of june, no later numbers. this does not sit well with lawmakers, neither republicans nor democrats. the georgia senator, the democrat, rafael warnock writing to the fda, and i quote him right now, he says it is clear there are serious issues at the fda. he is upset over the delay in response to the situation in michigan. it is alarming, he says, it took nearly six months for the fda to act on complaints about contamination at that michigan plant. trying to make up for lost time here. making an effort, jackie, but still more work to be done. jackie: yeah. feels like it is just a drop in the bucket. jeff flock, thank you so much for that. joining us tonight to discuss a little bit more, texas congresswoman beth van duyne. great to see you, congresswoman. this is how i look at the baby formula problem. reminds me a lot what is happening with oil in this country. the administration saying we'll tap the spr to give you a
6:47 pm
million barrels a day. joe, we consume 20 million barrels a day. one million doesn't help that much. to jeff's point, we have two million bottles of formula coming in when we consume 50 million bottles per week. that gives you a sense of scale what's happening here. >> yeah. i mean we're getting, this problem has been going on for almost six months, almost six months the trump -- biden administration could have been doing something about it, they haven't. instead they are again just like saying with the oil and gas industry they're going to other nations asking them to produce when we have the ability to be able to do it here without the interference of additional government regulations. you know it is really amazing to me epa takes three years on average to approve some of these shipments coming in and yet, finally, finally we've been able to reduce that from three years to 10 days. why weren't we able to do that earlier? why are we waiting six
