"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show. we begin with stocks down again today. fears of a global recession and earnings, but this is happening, the dollar is moving higher. it hit a new 20-year high. that could help in the fight against inflation. federal reserve officials signal a potential 3/4 paint rate hike later this month. and this, iran claims it is technically capable of making a nuclear bomb. russia's president putin heads to iran tomorrow. all this as the president came back from his middle east trip to places like saudi arabia with zero promises of more oil. edward lawrence is at the white house with more. edward. reporter: liz, president joe biden back here at the white house seemingly

empty-handed there was no agreement with the king of saudi arabia to increase oil production. republicans say he didn't have to go all the way around the world. he would have saved the global embarassment of the fist bump with prince mohammed bin salman. pictures of the president making conversations with him going into various meetings in saudi arabia republicans questioned. >> the idea he needs to go to the middle east and beg for oil is ridiculous. he could have gone to midland, texas or out in west texas and ask these energy producers to begin to drill. reporter: new "fox news" polling don't like what they see. 84% say the economy is poor, or only fair. nation's top energy advisor will no change in policy. >> i would like to think us thinking short term, long term. short term how much oil can we put on the market to make sure we have enough supply, how to make sure putin doesn't benefit to bring an end to this horrific war, long term what are the steps we need to make today

reducing demand on oil. elizabeth: edward lawrence, thank you for your story. we lost the feed on that. i want you to hear the rest of that sound. joining us congressman french hill from house financial services and macro trends advisors, mitch roschelle. good to have you on. thanks for spending time, congressman, first to you, that report about saudi arabia, the president flew 7,000 miles to saudi arabia over oil. i mean that could be, that is probably a bigger carbon footprint if he simply traveled to texas or the dakotas. we would have gotten more oil from u.s. energy than coming back empty-handed from saudi arabia. what do you say? >> liz he burned more oil flying over there than he brought back from saudi arabia. that is sign of a flop of a trip. you're right, he should be focused on unleashing american energy right now. his priority should be every day meeting with his pipeline regular to make sure our lng facility at free port on the gulf coast open. it is 20% of our exports.

it is 2% of our natural bass business is shut down due to fire. we need federal regulators helping expedite opening that plant safely and quickly. not only to help americans, american workers but to help our allies in europe as they face a coming winter with no russian gas. elizabeth: you know to the congressman's point on energy i mean, here's the thing, we have not seen this happening, mitch. the d.c. paper, "the hill" reports top players in the senate democrat caucus backing away from president biden over things like energy. "the washington post" put out its own list of democrats who should run in 2024. he is in the danger zone of the low 30s in "the new york times" survey. how do you see this playing out, mitch? >> when you look at the inflation numbers, liz, last week, and you strip out food and energy, you see the core inflation grew by 6%. if you dig even deeper the regular household things we need just to go about our business,

some of those items are up 30, 40%. and if you look at the root cause of all of it, energy is such a big part of the goods and services that we consume as americans. so we need a intelligent energy policy. it is the only way to fix the supply side of the economy which is energy dependent. we were energy independent before all of this started. so we have to come up with a plan to get us back on the path to being energy independent and net exporter. elizabeth: to what mitch is saying, congressman, inflation is a supply side issue too. you need more goods in the economy like things like u.s. energy but now the president says he will do an executive order on climate change after giving in to democrat senator manchin on cutting out that spending from the budget reconciliation, inflation hit 9.1% a 40-year high. senator schumer is trying to ram this through before congress leaves for the august vacation. what do you think the president will do with executive actions on climate change? what will it be?

>> he can intimidate banks and investment banks not to lend money to fossil fuel companies, to replace the badly-needed reserves that we need to keep our economy moving, to keep our homes heated this winter. that is one thing he probably could do. because, look, every agency of the government has been focused on climate. even the war communique in the g7 countries contained a paragraph about holding global temperatures to 1 1/2 degrees centigrade increase. they don't know any other tune. you're right, this is a supply chain issue. we need not to propose new taxes on energy companies. we need to be unleashing energy companies and let them get to work on behalf of the american people and our allies. elizabeth: to what the congressman is saying, mitch, too, the president, his messaging. inflation is temporary, putin is to blame, 43-cent drop in gas prices will quit, folks, unacceptably high inflation. you've got now california governor gavin newsom taking a

direct shot at the president's age, saying, we can't communicate now, now with younger voters. robert reich, the former clinton labor secretary saying joe biden is too old to run again. >> well you know what? when your entire strategy is deflection and pointing fingers and blaming others, it is not hard, regardless of your age, it is not hard to find a reason to get behind people. the reality is we're approaching the midterms. biden is going to be on the ballot in the midterm because all of the bad policies are going to be the things that get you know, congressman's colleagues on the other side of the aisle unelected in november. it is not simply a matter of his age. it is just bad policy. could be 30 years younger with these bad policies i think americans would be equally as disgusted where we are right now. 84% think it is poor or fair. that is a terrible sign of the way americans feel about their

every-day lives. elizabeth: yeah, too what mitch is saying, congressman, the president says he will lower gas prices, right? you're going to see him say that, talk about it. then watch him say he can't do anything about it. he said that in march. watch. >> what is the message to americans who are looking for that relief now? when should they expect to see a real change in prices all -- >> changing. >> they have been coming down? >> coming down every single day to the best of my knowledge. >> when will we see impact of this business? >> i expect you won't see that for next couple weeks. >> [inaudible] president biden: going to go up. can't do much right now. russia is responsible. elizabeth: he is saying they're going up, gas will bo up, congressman. he is not taking up the invitation from the american petroleum industry to visit u.s. oil and gas executives around the nation. what is happening here? >> same thing happening on the border. he doesn't take personal

responsibility. he doesn't talk to the people that could do something about it. he won't go to the southwest border and secure it. he won't go to america's energy patch in western pennsylvania or midland, texas, tell them what we can do to get out of your way get more production back up to 13 million barrels a day. get free port open to export lng to our allies that is a lack of leadership. that is why the american people give them the same approval rating they gave richard nixon on the way to the helicopter in 1974. elizabeth: speaking of that, first lady jill biden had a fund-raiser, mitch, to what the congressman just said, that said quote every time you turn around the president is addressing problems, problems, events are swamping his agenda. he has been around since the nixon administration. why did it take so long? >> yeah. 50 years in politics, never had a real job in the private sector. doesn't know what real private sector solutions are. in fact, still talking about

"build back better," still talking about raising taxes. we talked about it earlier in the segment, liz. when the supply side of the economy is what is broken the last thing you want to do is raise taxes. it just doesn't make sense. you know maybe he wasn't around unfortunately for the reagan administration but if you want to get the economy up and running, what you have to do is unleash the private sector, lower taxes, lower regulations and that is how you fix the problem. elizabeth: how do you raise interest rates you know, and then raise taxes too? we'll stay on it. congressman hill, mitch roschelle, thanks for joining us spending time tonight. good to see you both. come back soon. >> you bet. elizabeth: speaker nancy pelosi again accused of insiderrism. her husband buys stock in a major chipmaker of pelosi's home district of california. that stock could go up as congress is about to send billions of dollars to the chip industry to take on china. the violent crime outbreak in california is out of control.

[ laughter ] >> his objective and his commitment is to bring transparency and truth back to government, to share the truth even when it is hard to hear. elizabeth: joining us now ranking member of house

oversight, it is congressman james comer. congressman, that is not true what jen psaki had said. i mean, the "new york post" is reporting, based on a calendar of hunter biden's laptop that hunter biden met 30 times with then vice president biden right after, often right after hunter biden made personal business trips overseas to places like russia, romania and columbia but you are saying that the treasury and biden white house is blocking details on anything going on with their deal-making. what is it going on? >> well, we discovered that hunter biden had 150 suspicious activity reports filed against various bank accounts he had. suspicious activity report is the bank's way of covering theirselves from potential liability because they think a client has performed criminal activity. prior to joe biden becoming president, any member of congress could request suspicious activity reports from treasury. once joe biden came into office before it became public that

hunter had all these bank violations he changed the rule for no member of congress can have access to suspicious activity reports. liz, they were put into place during the first, or second bush administration after september the 11th to try to track potential activity from terrorist groups around the world funneling money into u.s. terror cells. it is also used by the feds to track money laundering. sew these are very serious bank violations. for jen psaki, anyone else in this administration to say that the biden administration is transparent that is simply not true and this is the perfect example. elizabeth: congressman, if everything is copastetic and okay with the deal-making why not release reports to congress? this is oversight activity. we have to break it down. the post is reporting in february 2012 hunter biden dined with billionaire oligarchses in moscow. four days after he returned he met with the biden at the naval observatory. 2015 meets are the russian

ambassador, also went to colombia, talked to infrastructure deals with colombia fishes there, lucrative deals. this is the fourth port, to do infrastructure deals. reportedly debriefed vice president biden bit. how can they block you on oversight because that is your job? >> they're doing it. they will be able to do it for a few more months. hopefully the american people will go to the polls to elect republicans with majority and gavel we will subpoena that information and we will get that information. if you look at the biden business model. it is not just hunter but joe's brother jim. they made money for decades off the biden family name, promising to sell access. we just uncover ad new court case just last week been filed

where potential investors that gave money to jim biden because he promised them access to middle earn -- middle eastern capital. he promised middle-eastern money that could invest in their company because he is joe biden's brother. this family is profiting off the biden family name. which is illegal, not to mention very unethical. the biden white house continues to try to cover it up when you have the laptop and all -- elizabeth: who, who specifically is blocking your access to the treasury's 150 suspicious activity reports on the biden deal making? who is doing that? >> specifically would be janet yellen because you go to the top. so we've requested at least three times from her the suspicious activity reports. now she came back and said that well, i'll tell you what, we'll give them to you, if you get another democrat in the house to sign on to that. that is changing the rules in the middle of fat i am,

regardless no democrat wants to deal with the hunter biden situation. they know there is problem there. elizabeth: they're saying you have to have a democrat, who, adam schiff who will read it in a scif and mislead and leak incorrectly about it? >> yes. elizabeth: why can't you read it in a secure compartment a scif? it is critical for congress and american public to see what is going on. the last election was heavily influenced hunter biden laptop and misinformation. one out of seven voters said they may have changed their vote and not voted for biden. there is congressional oversight. we are a system of checks an balances. what tools do you have to force the issue? >> we're going public with the information that we have. unlike adam schiff we have factual substantive information. we have dozens of potential people that have done business with hunter biden. we have lawsuits that are pending, lawsuits already been settled. we have the bank records from the laptop.

so hunter biden is a shady business character. we fear that he has compromised this white house. that is why we'll not continue to let up on these investigations. we'll hold somebody accountable for this. elizabeth: we have tangible evidence of influence peddling on a scale never seen before by a first family. their skillset is only influence peddling. that is the allegation against james and hunter biden. we'll stay on it with congressman comer. thanks for coming on sir. come back soon. >> thank you. elizabeth: speaker pelosi again accused of insiderrism, her husband buys stock in a major chip maker in pelosi's home district. that stock could go up as congress is about to spend billions of dollars to the chip industry to take on china. congressman byron donalds. he is fired up. he is next on "the evening edit." >> maybe the democrats are starting to realize here it looks pretty bad when the leader of their party in congress is out there trading millions of dollars, doing it on potentially government time. ♪

them or their spouses invests. there are several bills in the house that would ban lawmakers and their spouses from trading stocks while in office but it is also not just watchdogs in washington that have caught on to the trend of paul pelosi's stock buys. mr. pelosi's stock trades are tiktok famous. investors tracking his trades, looking what he buys for tips on what they should invest in. that is really not a bad idea, liz, because paul pelosi's portfolio outperformed in some cases the s&p 500. liz? elizabeth: hillary vaughn, thank you so much. joining us from house oversight he is congressman byron donalds. congressman, a pleasure having you back on. your reaction to that report. this chipmaker's headquarters are in pelosi's home districts. her office is saying she is not the one making stock purchases, her husband is. what is your take on this? >> this is the same thing like joe biden doesn't know what hunter biden's business dealings

are. this is really a joke. you have to be a fool or not really think or understand that paul pelosi has information that the rest of the american people do not have. one of the key reasons why he has that information is because he married to the speaker of the house. this is outrageous. elizabeth: do you have proof of that? >> that they're married of course they are proof that they are married. elizabeth: not that. that he is getting information from pelosi? >> i don't have, i do not have proof of that. that should be looked at. you're okay. i don't have proof, it should be looked at. let's be very clear, if looks like a duck, walks a like a duck it is usually a duck. what we're seeing his trades seem to be right on time. it is fishy at best, and collusion at worse. elizabeth: we've been tracking the timing of this, congressman, of his stock trades linked to important legislation that will move stocks. we've been tracking this for about a year. his estimated net worth, they're

worth about $130 million and, congressman, to your point, paul pelosi also invested in apple and google. their headquarters are also in pelosi's home district too. we should point out paul pelosi was arrested in may for a dust. i. he will appear in court in august. your on this. >> my concern about all of this stuff, what it does, puts a stain, another stain frankly on our congress and our ability to effectively govern. it makes no sense to have spouses cutting trades like this, i don't know if they are are, not getting information from the spouses to serve up here on the hill. it is just wrong. it stinks to high heaven. everybody sees it. what democrats need to do, have questions about their leader and actually have her answer some issues, answer questions about this, see where it goes from there. elizabeth: she says it is free market, there should be transparency but when she is questioned, the speaker has been questioned about this before in the past, she gets very angry

and upset? >> i would like to remind the american people right now, if this was donald trump or kevin mccarthy, the democrats would have no problem calling hearings about this issue but because it is nancy pelosi or even joe biden they have nothing to say. this goes to the integrity of members of congress here on the hill. we have information that the voters do not have readily available or the market does not have readily available. it really needs to stop. elizabeth: are you going to call a hearing on it if you take back control? >> yeah, we should, absolutely we should call a hearing on this. these type of things have no business happening up here. we can't let it happen anymore. elizabeth: congressman donald, pleasure having you on. >> anytime. elizabeth: the nation's most powerful teachers union put back on its heels. its own poll that it commissioned to swing state voters shows those voters do not want schools politicized. the news that trump's covid advisor dr. deborah birx believes covid leaked out of a

lab in china. we'll break it down with congressman dan meuser next on "the evening edit"

♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show congressman dan meuser from house foreign affairs. congressman, it is great to have you back on, sir. first your reaction that dr. fauci says he is expected to retire in 2024. he says, quote, if congress is going to investigate him, quote, they're going to try to come after me, probably less so if i'm not in the job. is that true? >> well, look, his retirement couldn't come any too soon. he has been a very controversial figure, liz. he has made statements along the way that people found troubling. frankly he never seemed to be in doubt but also was never right. he wasn't right initially, i remember it very well with masks. he wasn't right about orrery entating things, working to help those most vulnerable. he gave us very mixed messaging when it came to schools and you

know, this whole idea that he, refused to european consider that the virus began at the wuhan lab where we have tons of evidence at this point, that is exactly where it occurred. we have emails highly suspect of those colleagues that changed their mind along the way. so he is not a very trusted individual and, look, he probably will have to sit down and answer some questions but how about be honest and tell us what happened. he can go on, he can go on his way from there? elizabeth: you know dr. fauci and dr. deborah birx, they were behind the shutdowns that broke the economy and put 22 million out of work. the response triggered rampant inflation. to your point, dr. birx, we don't know if it leaked from the wuhan lab, she is saying it could have leaked because you don't find it anywhere in nature. scientists were working on the exact same virus in vaccines. she said, we've been talking

about this and breaking news on this for years now. "the evening edit" is reporting how it rocketed. dr. birx say it came out of the box rapidly, ready to intech. most viruses like sars or merz take months or years to become infectious. this thing took off like a rocket. >> yeah, exactly. i met dr. birx when she joined vice president mike pence in early march. i sat in the situation room with her and dr. fauci, having discussions and having them brief us on what the plan was. had respect for dr. birx, and yes, she at least was willing to state that of course it was possibility, i.e. likelihood the virus came from wuhan. one of the main reasons is, what you outlined, it is virtually a mathematical certainty it came from the wuhan lab since they never found any mutations within any animals, not one. usually a virus like this, the

amount of testing that they did, they find hundreds of mutations. they found zero. elizabeth: yeah. >> in the animal kingdom, if you will. so, i'm glad she at least state has. you know, there was some excerpts from that book i didn't find to be particularly courageous in her comments. she was right there. she was part of the planning. but -- elizabeth: but what she is saying, wuhan scientists or any scientists or lab researcher in china could have been asymptomatic, not showing indications of infection and just walked out and infected everybody. so your final word? >> well, i'm just say that's correct and there is likelihood that is what occurred and let's face it, china did cover that up, those who were asymptomatic as well as the level of outbreak and you know, we did a china task force report that brought that information out and, you know, somebody like again, back to dr. fauci continues to refuse

to consider that was a source. elizabeth: congressman meuser, thank for joining us. come back soon. >> thanks a lot. >> nation's most powerful teachers union commission as poll, shows swing state voters don't want schools politicized? ford o'connell, parents rights advocate nicole neily ahead on "the evening edit". we got this. we got this. we got this. life is for living. we got this. let's partner for all of it. edward jones >> tech: when you have auto glass damage, trust safelite. letthis dad and daughter it. were driving when they got a crack in their windshield.

joining us now, strategist ford o'connell along with parents defending education, nicole neely, good to have you both on. here's what's going on, randi weingarten, american federation of teachers commissioned a poll that found battleground voters were angry. they agree with governor ron desantis 56% say stop indoctrinating children, stop racialized everything. stop putting mature subjects like gender identity on children. your reaction? >> parents actually want their children to learn and be safe in school, something the teachers union lack priority so it's no surprise parents of scene with the children have not been

learning, they've seen the children come home from school in tears frustrated about the lessons so not surprised. i'm just surprised it's taken this long. elizabeth: i want you to listen to this, voters in these swing states, seven battleground states say yes, parents should have more say over what their children learn in school. let's listen to florida governor ron desantis. >> drawn a clear line in the sand that says our school system is for educating kids, not indoctrinating kids. parents have a fundamental role in the education of their kids. you have a right to know what curriculum is being used in your children's classroom and why someone would want to walk parents out, why they would not want parents involved in that is beyond me that's something basic about being a parent. elizabeth: before biden's white house wanted to investigate parents as domestic terrorists. >> governor desantis is right. he's been leading the nation in florida in terms of putting

students first and protecting parents rights. when we look at the polls, what becomes abundantly clear is voters in the swing states want children to learn their abcs and 123's and don't want woke ideology. the democrats unfortunately and cohorts of the teachers union don't realize that and that's why they will get smacked around in the 2022 midterms because parental rights in critical race theory will be huge issues in the states that matter. elizabeth: school board parents are now the new soccer moms. talk about what you're hearing when it comes to how children are reacting to learning and hearing about these mature subjects. are they anxious? with the get upset? >> all the time, i spoke to her mother last week in texas who daughter had age inappropriate lesson about segregation, bombing in 1963, kids -- she was ten, they were shown graphic footage from a documentary, the children had nightmares, and exercise afterwards they were

segregated according to the haircolor in the kids were worried they couldn't be friends because it wasn't put into context. it also the full shoulders of teachers to explain and choose age-appropriate material but children are sad, distressed and parents see that and that's why families are unhappy what's taking place these days. elizabeth: it feels like they are bowling through this agenda without any concern for the children themselves. >> that's exactly right and something governor desantis and others have talked about. you realize is voters basically want material that's age-appropriate and kids across the nation, not just florida but everywhere to learn free from political agenda and the powers in the biden white house and teachers union are not listening and they are going to pay the price at the ballot box, i promise. elizabeth: i like you to listen to joe biden, she's saying, she's praising the teachers union for putting the union first. >> it's what makes you such a

powerful leader here at asg. thank you for your friendship. [applause] thank you for caring thank you for putting this organization first every single day. elizabeth: is not the right word to put out there? what you think? >> it's an accurate phrase, let's say that. we did know the union to put themselves first, they wanted to collect their paychecks and keep the schools close. they put our children last. we saw the nea boat on things like unfettered abortion access and medicare for all and not about student excellence in making up student lessons for keeping them safe and that's why families are unhappy so doctor jill biden was accurate but not the right message to send to american families. elizabeth: fort, final word. >> if you're not putting students first, you're going to pay the price of the ballot box. it's sad they have to learn this but the idea they somehow

thought they would ram through gender identity and sexual orientation to young kids is insane and fighting an uphill battle and need to learn their long. elizabeth: thanks for joining us. i'm elizabeth macdonald, you've been watching "the evening edit" on foxbusiness. thank you for watching. have a good evening and join us again tomorrow night. ♪♪ kennedy: hypocrisy, the name is blm. one mom is standing up to them after gunmen almost killed her and her two kids. this happened in minneapolis which has been the epicenter of violence and protests since the 2020 killing of george flight. last wednesday night, someone called cops after her neighbor allegedly started firing a gun into her apartment. she is home cooking dinner for kids, officers arrived and there was a six hour standoff
