reduce economic output and eliminate about 30,000 jobs. that is a big concern for republicans in congress. the latest data shows the vast majority of antibiotics, battery seas, air conditions units, other every day items are not made in the u.s., they're made in china. >> we want to get our jobs back here. we don't want to be especially dependent on companies like communist china. what manchin and tax increase is going to do, i think 49% of it is going against our manufacturing industry, the industry we're trying to grow in this country. reporter: we haven't heard from senator krysten sinema but we're learning she is concerned about key features that manufacturerring and other businesses in her state are speaking out against. 15% minimum corporate tax and carried interest provision to name a couple. senator lindsey graham says the congressional budget office confirmed to him the so-called inflation reduction act actually wouldn't reduce inflation in any

meaningful way. liz? elizabeth: grady, thank you so much. joining us now, the host of fox business's "kudlow," he is larry kudlow. the other news coming in, larry, it is good to see you, thanks for joining us by the way. we have got a lot of supply chains in china. grady is reporting how china could really disrupt our supply chains. what do you think is going to happen? >> well look it right now i think that xi xinping who has a very bad economy is kind of whipping up this nationalist fervor to protest something that shouldn't be protested which is to say nancy pelosi going there, speaker pelosi going there. i mean she is not the first elected official. she is not the first cabinet official. she is not the first diplomatic official. and i'm quite sent -- skeptical. i know they're shooting off

missiles and so forth i think the sabre-rattling is gone too far. maybe i should take it more seriously. i don't think china is anywhere's near ready or committed to any of invasion in taiwan. they're spewing missiles out over japan and australia now. i mean i think it is nutty. elizabeth: you know there is also this. democrat senator krysten sinema is she going to kill the bill and say no to the democrats 700 billion-dollar tax-and-spend bill? she doesn't like the tax hikes. larry, it's a climate change and pharmaceuticals bill. what do you think is going to happen? >> well it's a tax hike and climate change and drug price controls and don't forget the social spending, liz macdonald. there is $300 billion of obamacare subsidies over 10 years. what is senator sinema going to do? i don't know. that is like the single biggest question in washington. maybe the single biggest question on the planet.

what is she going to do? i have all the senators on. i asked them the same question. i had lindsey graham on. no one knows what she is going to do. i don't know what she is going to do. you tell me. elizabeth: the other thing the cbo is joining moody's analytics and wharton business school says it doesn't cut inflation any meaningfully. joint tax hikes hit everyone including the middle class. they're taking $471 billion out of the productive u.s. economy, putting it into the government and siccing 87,000 new irs agents to go after the middle class, those below 200,000. are they going after the $370 billion climate change boondoggles? >> liz, here is the inflation reduction act, right, and the cbo says there is no inflation reduction. so what do you make of that? i mean you mentioned moody's.

that is my friend mark zandi who is the democrat's favorite economist. i don't know if you saw his latest estimate. he said in nine years i think there will be one or two tenths of a percent lower inflation. which means no inflation reduction whatsoever. liz, save america, kill the bill. the tax hikes will deepen recession, the social spending is going to increase inflation, the war against fossil fuels is going to make the inflation worse and damage our energy and national security. this is a terrible bill. by the way, this bill will give the epa even more authority to go after greenhouse gases, stuff that authority they don't actually have right now. but compromise the supreme court decision. elizabeth: you know what, listen, biden was hand ad v-shaped recovery and energy independence pro the u.s. and energy independent u.s. from

trump and they just destroyed it in 18 months. half the tax hike they're talking about is going to hit manufacturers. you talked about it. u.s. energy, cars, steel, to pay for the 169 billion on climate change, expanded obamacare. we get the idea letting medicare negotiate drug prices lower but $80 billion for the irs for 87,000 agents? that is six times the current irs budget. what, go after small businesses, pass through subchapter s guys? they are the main driver of job growth. what is with the arrogance of democrats, they think they know it all and they don't. biden has been around since six none, nancy pelosi and schumer since reagan, george h.w. bush era. they keep doing the same thing and it is hurting everybody else. >> yeah the cost will -- congressional budget office i think cbo or joint tax, sent a letter to jason smith, the ranking republican on the house

budge committee that the drug price controls, will, are you ready for this? increase drug prices, increase drug prices as many of us predicted. so everything in this bill is phony. everything in this bill is the reverse of president trump put. everything in this bill is against prosperity and price stability. look, american vote remembers against it. american voters -- elizabeth: larry, you and i, we've been covering business, since the '80s. i covered the irs for decades. when you have 87,000 new irs agents harassing people to pay for their spending, again are they going to 6:00 the irs agents on the climate change boondoggle? that is where the money is. >> no they will sic the irs agents on you, and me and uber drivers and small business

owners. they will sic the irs agents on conservatives an religious committees and right to life committees this is it like the lois lerner story redux, you recall back in 2013 this is all bad, but, at the end of the day you have to look to november. the caffrey -- cavalry is coming. the cavalry is coming. elizabeth: do you think they will kill the bill? will it go away or what will happen? >> i think the bill is going to pass. i hate to say but i think the bill will pass. elizabeth: then the gop will win and then republicans will win and undo it all. i guess we'll have more to talk about larry kudlow. great to have you on. thank you for spending time with us. good to see you. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: come back soon. florida governor ron desantis pushes back on billionaire george soros. he suspends a state attorney that soros backed for picking and choosing on his own what state laws to enforce of the trump effect, results of how

♪. elizabeth: okay, let's give you some perspective in the backstory to the white house taking a victory lap on gas prices going down. demand is way down. americans are even driving less than they did during the pandemic shutdowns in summer of 2020. all of this after gas doubled under president biden. edward lawrence is at the white house with more on this story. edward? reporter: well, liz you can imagine the spin is on. the increase by opec plus of 100,000 barrels a day of oil in september is not what the white house wanted. officials argue here at the white house that what they're doing is actually working because gas prices are falling. you can see here where president biden came into office. even a year ago gas prices were a full dollar cheaper than they are today. now here is the argument and republicans disagreement.

listen. >> we have to make sure we have enough energy supplies and oil and gas coming on the market to reduce oil prices and reduce prices for consumers at the pump and we're doing that. >> when oil prices go down, gas prices tend to go down. the reason why that occurred because futures markets are looking at a recession. they're looking at slowing global growth. that is what is the primary driver of this. reporter: americans feel pain as they make tough choice what is to buy and what to leave on the shelves. liz. elizabeth: interesting report, edward lawrence thank you so much as always. joining us daily calor's vince colanese. >> nays to see you. elizabeth: same here. trump effect, capital riots effect, justice department probe into the trump team trying to overturn the 2020 vote. dick cheney is going after trump in a big way. there is that story, right? everybody agrees the capitol riots shouldn't have happened, right, and trump's behavior was bad. that is what the consensus is

forming. look at this former president trump, he enduressed 1983 -- 193 candidates, 145 have won. trump endorsed non incumbents. >> that is a big deal. >> that is heck of a record. people care tremendous amount what donald trump supports they believe, fundamentally, the same reason they voted for him in 2016 and 2020 and he has their interests in heart. if the guy comes along y ldshuppo sup tss cda s th is efddhing tt n pns pvansniylva c b be ankful he gote themp t endorsem ik hhel th y yt is yoror in will it work in the general. will it endure the trump endorsement and succeed in november with trump's support. elizabeth: the thing is, trump's impact, republican insiders fear they could lose the senate because they may seem good in

the primary but maybe not in a general election. you're talking too much about the past, about vote fraud. about election stuff and what is your policies going forward. they feel it might be too toxic, you know what i mean? that is the store, senate picks in arizona, georgia, ohio, pennsylvania, not ready for prime time yet for the senate. what do you think? >> well i think it is reminder anyone who is running for public office and wants to succeed has the obligation speak to issues that matter to voters here and now. that includes the disaster of economy you're covering so well. gas prices being what they are. making it so people can go back to living a life that isn't paycheck to paycheck. that is number one. there is plenty of candidates like that donald trump who endorsed, have succeeded moved into the general election. blake masters comes to mind. talking about issues that really effect people. that doesn't mean you stop talking about voter integrity.

that matters so many americans. elizabeth: they're being painted election deniers. the question will they work in the general election. we've got to move on to this story. speaker pelosi's visit to taiwan, biden's handoff approach is saying, oh, we don't think he should go. backing off of it. there is confusing messaging about this but what came through loud and clear, vince, is when speaker pelosi claimed trump would ignite conflict. watch this. >> the trump administration reckless, rash decisions are no substitute for real global leadership. saidly beseech president trump to apologize to the american people for his disgraceful, dangerous and damaging behavior. what the president did was dangerous. clearly it takes preparation which the president didn't make. the president abused his power for his own personal political benefit at the expense of our

national security. elizabeth: any fair-minded historian vince will look back on this to say, nancy pelosi's bare knuckle politics with trump was so over the top, didn't refused to work with him, ripped up his state of the union address. when he had policies, by the way, trump started as democrat. he picked up gop policiess right, that people wanted, voters wanted. they don't want biden's policies right now. >> yeah. elizabeth: that is the true story what happened during the trump years. >> yeah. she's been even at her age childish. it has been actually really embarassing to watch, tearing up a speech, like what are you, six years old? undermining trump when ever he would go overseas. no thing as politics stopping at waters edge for her. meanwhile she goes taiwan in order to bolster her own image, that she is fighting -- elizabeth: why now? why did she go now? everybody knows we should speak up for taiwan, but why now? honestly democrats are desperate

for distraction from state of domestic affairs. they need to turn back -- elizabeth: vote remembers furious with biden. 2/3 of democrats, 75% cnn poll. they don't want him to run again. they kept redefining afghanistan as success, inflation, recession, watch this. show this montage, watt. president biden: no more subsidies for fossil fuel industry. no more drilling on federal lands including offshore no ability for the oil industry continue to drill. both chairman powell and many of the, the significant banking personnel and economists say we're not in recession. >> what you're seeing that we are in a transition. >> we are transitioning clearly. >> we're certainly in a transition and we are seeing slowing all we would have expected. >> increases in prices are likely to have only transitory effects on inflation. >> transitory.

>> transitory. >> transitory. >> transitory. >> transitory. elizabeth: taxpayers are paying the salaries there. we're paying for that kind of nonsense. look at social media making fun of joe biden. says don't say recession bill. people out there see what is going on. your final word. >> the idea they can redefine word recession. who cares what washington calls it. people are miserable. they don't need from d.c. to be miserable. that is why biden is polling so bad. elizabeth: vince, thank you. >> thank you. elizabeth: fbi director christopher wray grilled by lawmakers in washington. what he said about biased fbi officials blocking hunter biden. he is with us nix on "the evening edit." >> our agents, analysts, professional staff serve the public with rigor, okay project objectivity, fierce passion for protecting the american people

elizabeth: fbi director christopher wray grilled on capitol hill today over a government whistle-blowers revealing biased politicized fbi officials in d.c. headquarters improperly blocked an discredited probes into hunter biden as quote disinformation. there is a lot that went on, much more at this hearing today. david spunt has more in washington at the justice

department. david. reporter: liz, senators on judiciary committee peppered fbi director christopher wray on topics from the hunter biden investigation, increase in crime, what he calls the biggest national security threat to the united states, china. wray made it a mission as five years as director. he was appointed to a 10-year terming on china, and how the country is more aggressive stealing our information. >> but this is a problem of massive, massive scale and to some extent as a country we're playing catchup on the threat. reporter: moments into the hearing iowa senator chuck grassley pressed the fbi director on the federal investigation into the president's son. hunter biden has not been charged with a crime but his tax affairs and business dealings overseas are being inspected by the u.s. attorney in delaware. wray and grassley spoke generally but did not use the name hunter biden. listen. >> if the fbi received

information that foreign persons had evidence of improper or unlawful financial payments paid to elected officials or other, other politically exposed persons would that pose a national security concern? >> well, i think, the kind of conduct you're describing is typically something that we would look at very closely through our efforts at malign foreign influence. reporter: the investigation into the president's son began in 2018. his laptop is in federal custody. liz? elizabeth: david spunt, thank you so much. let's welcome back to the show, ranking member of senate judiciary, senator chuck grassley, good to see you. thanks so much for joining us. we're grateful. >> thank you. >> what did you think of christopher wray's performance today? >> well you can't help but like him as an individual and i think i would judge the fact that i

laid out all these facts that you have had, that you just had and i've been on fox news other times about it. i laid these all out and i haven't had anybody in the fbi or haven't had anybody on the democratic side of the aisle challenge me on those facts. so those facts are laid out and i think they show that christopher wray has got a very big problem at the fbi and i think that he knows that and he ought to do something about it because you ought to have confidence in the fbi, everybody in the country and there is a credibility problem and we can't have power and party determine who is going to be investigated. elizabeth: you know it is like the fbi was politicized, right? that is what it feels like. the fbi went hard after trump but then it feels like there is a coverup of hunter's financial activity overseas and business deals, right?

and you found possible criminal issues there, potential counterintelligence component. what does that mean? china or people in russia were wiretapping the biden family phone calls with the foreign business deals overseas selling access to joe biden and the government? >> i think i have given enough evidence over the last year to show that there is reasonable concern. do i have enough evidence to say absolutely that china has something on the united states that can hurt the united states national security in dealing with china? i can't say that. but it does raise legitimate questions, when hunter biden, the son of the president of the united states does business with energy, business people in china, and those same business people pay him five million dollars and then several stipends of $100,000 and they got connections to the communist party and to the military, it

raises legitimate questions whether or not our national security might be compromised but i can't prove that. but it does lead to real concern on my part and a lot of other peoples part. elizabeth: you know, senator, how does it affect joe biden's foreign policy? hunter was working on oil and energy deals reportedly between china, mexico, kazakhstan all three countries coming together? he was flying on air force 2 to china, mexico and russia, with secret service protection. powerful players with china's belt and road push. howe does this affect biden's foreign policy? >> does it really affect it? it races concerns with your question and my questions are very legitimate questions. we don't have a firm answer to that. i hope maybe people in the justice department or the u.s. attorney's office in delaware has that answer. we raised these questions.

we have given ample evidence that there is partisan consideration on what investigations open and what to close. i can't prove it to you but it tends to go more than just china. elizabeth: what disturbs you most? >> i think what offends me most is number one, the president of the united states saying so many times that he never discussed the president's, his son's business with him. i think that we've got ample evidence now that was a lie. the second thing that bothers me is that we have people at the top of our government, that are raising these questions that could be affecting the national security of the united states. elizabeth: senator grassily, thanks for joining us. pleasure having you on. >> thank you. elizabeth: parents open up a new front over the battle of toxic school agendas hurting children.

americans. they're paying for their salaries. they're letting them out? >> absolutely. so these d.a.s that are doing it, we need to start going on their doorstep, start going to their office. people need to start protesting holding them account ann, bringing up the data, showing the pictures when their loved ones are murdered on the streets because people are let out over and over again. because the cops are doing their job locking people up over and over. they're doing their part. once that is done, it goes over to the prosecution. i say, see something, say something, if you don't do nothing it was a waste of time because the public suffers from that. elizabeth: i want to show again the new york no-cash bail reform in 2020. you can get out if you did criminally negligent homicide, manslaughter be, burglary, money laundering in support of terrorism and more. really, new york? this is what we are paying for?

, for this? this is true, the mayor, it is insanity. you and i talked about it so much, doctor but i don't think people realize how dangerous this is, including elected officials. >> right. but, this is how they're going to begin to feel it. a lot of people will start losing their loved ones. they get upset. businesses are fleeing. they will keep on fleeing. they will shut down their hours because they can't take it anymore. hopefully when the election comes again, or they get removed from office, that will be the time when things will begin to change. elizabeth: right. >> until then we'll have this insanity. elizabeth: george soros be honest. george soros. he is doubling down not admitting what we're talking about. voters fighting back in san francisco, nevada, oregon and utah. this behind the scenes stuff soros is doing so so toxic. your final word. >> like i said see something say something but what they need to

governor, not in individual state attorneys. the prosecutor, state attorney for this judicial circuit, andrew warren, has put himself publicly above the law. when you take an oath to support and defend the constitution you must take care that our laws are faithfully educated. no prosecutor puts himself above the law. it warrants the suspension and potential removal of office. elizabeth: "the hill"'s kristin tate. pleasure having you back on. good to see you. >> great to be with you, liz. elizabeth: kristin, he is setting an example. will other governors follow florida governor ron desantis? he suspended this liberal state attorney andrew warren, he is basically hijacking, setting aside the state legislature, the voters. it was not just about refusing to enforce abortion restrictions. he was picking and choosing what state laws to enforce. put himself above the law and above voters.

>> exactly. of course ron desantis did the right thing here. the state attorney should be suspended if he is not willing to do his job by enforcing the law. what makes the story significant in my mind, far too many republicans are too weak or cowardly to take the kind of actions desantis just took. there are many red state governors that basically sit back and do nothing as these liberal george soros funded state attorneys, like you said, pick and choose which laws they want to follow and which ones they don't want to enforce. in fact a couple of days ago, 88 elected prosecutors, mostly attorneys general and district attorneys signed a letter vowing not to enforce anti-abortion laws. many prosecutors come from red states like texas and georgia. so the big question here is, why aren't governors like brian kemp or greg abbott doing the same thing that ron desantis just did? elizabeth: you know the governor also used colorful language. he said quote, we're not going

to allow this pathogen nationwide of ignoring the law, get a foothold in the state of florida. i mean we see it here in new york. we see it also in california you know. voters expect the law to be upheld and then it's not. i mean that is disarray. i mean these arrogant, vanity projects of these d.a.s and state attorneys go in thinking they create the law. they don't. the legislature does. it is a back, it is basically going back to first principles. >> absolutely infuriating and good for ron desantis for doing something about it. in my mind this is just another example of why desantis is the obvious pick for republicans in 2024. he is the only major republican with a national platform that is using the power he has been given to put in place conservative values an policies. frankly to just uphold the law. he was one of the only governors

whoket his state open during covid. people could go to school and keep their businesses, go to work. florida is doing so well because of his leadership. people are moving there in record numbers from these liberal bastions like california and new york. in fact last year, for everyone hundred people who moved out of florida, 210 people moved in. so we need more leaders on the right. frankly on the left too, like ron desantis with the guts to actually use the power they have been given to put in place policies that work for their citizens. elizabeth: what did you think of governor desantis saying no to going on "the view," the tv show "the view"? >> i totally support that. it is a waste of time. those women are not interested in any kind of productive conversation or the truth. so good for him. >> you know, you're right. florida has a powerful economy. it never shut down during the pandemic but joy behar called desantis quote, homicidal.

democrat california governor gavin newsom, illinois governor jb pritzker going after desantis. that is what is been happening as well. >> they're afraid of him. they know he is a fighter. the other thing interesting about desantis he is not afraid to get into the culture wars. for so long since the '90s, republicans said avoid cultural issues and focus basically on marginal tax cuts. desantis really shown that is outdated way of thinking. he has gotten so popular in part because he is not afraid to take on these issues. he banned crt in florida public schools. he has banned radical gender ideology. these are all things that republican voters want. elizabeth: kristin tate, come back soon. good to see you. >> thank you so much, liz. always a pleasure. elizabeth: same here. parents open up a new front in their battle over toxic school agendas hurting children. a growing number of lawsuits now being filed. the heritage foundation jonathan butcher will take it on next on

liz: look who's here from the heritage foundation. he's jonathan butcher. good to see you and thanks for being on. >> great to be with you. liz: jonathan, take a listen to the texas democratic gubernatorial candidate saying panters should not be involved in what schools are teaching their children, watch. >> you don't need to tell her the version of history she's allowed to choose in the classroom. we don't need to tell the parents of those kids before about something called crt. liz: so o'rourke is saying they don't need to tell panters. >> they're just pushing an ideological agenda and in

virginia voters got riled up when told school officials know more than they do. look, from detroit to even the san francisco bay area, school officials have practically boasted that critical race theory is taught in schools, it's not just a perspective on history, these are lessons that are actually advocating for racial discrimination. liz: watch that analysis from a senior fellow with the manhattan institute. watch this. >> absolutely i agree, what we've seen in san diego last year, they were promoting critical race theories and promoting radical gender this year and the idea is to turn students not towards education but left wing political activism and that's the through line for all the material and something more scary, it's not just theoretical for the kids, the policy in san diego and most big city school districts in california is now that schools can facilitate a child's gender or sexual transition and the de-funk policy is to keep it a secret from parents. this is a program that runs deeper than the ideas.

it's about transforming how kids see themselves. it's about destabilizing their identities and using them as political pawns. liz: that's heavy duty, what do you say, jonathan? >> that's true. look at district policies in places like philadelphia and topeka, kansas, and see they have things on the books that say that school personnel cannot tell parents when a child comes to school andments to assume a different gender. you're letting minor children make serious health decisions about the rest of their lives, this is going to affect the rest of their lives at a very young age and you're not even including parents in the conversation. this is very troubling. liz: who do the public employees think they are? we're paying their salaries and growing lawsuits about encouraging children. children are confused and anxious during these formative years. it's the confusing years of elementary, middle and high school and you're going to talk to them about transitioning to a

different gender and keep it secret from their parents when they can't even get history or any other kinds of, you know, school agendas straightened out and they'll go that far. it's insanity. >> well, this is why the research is so important because it shows significant overlap between these ideas of being confused about your gender and other conditions about anxiety and depression and even autism and there's overlapping conditions and you're not even trying to treat it. you're just affirming a child's confusion, which is only going to send them further down the line of making life-altering decisions that simply can't be changed later. liz: it would be so hard to grow up as a child today. if i was a parent, i'd be scared. i don't wanted to scare people but really, schools are supposed to be places for learning. not for the inappropriate discussion of sexual issues with young children that aren't ready for it, they're not mature enough and not ready for the big

subjects. you should wait for college but they're doing it in elementary school. they're supposed to reinforce the parent's right to direct their children's upbringing and not divert it. if there's problems at home, officials should step in if there's abuse, but this is going a step too far it feels. >> it's absolutely taking it too far and that's why we should be so encouraged by the state pollicis trying to block some of the radical moves. i mean, we've seen policies out of florida that are requiring that schools get parental permission before decisions like these are made that parents are always included. we've seen lawmakers in georgia as well make similar policies about it. i think that policymakers should be looking to these states. look, texas governor greg abbott is interested in having a parent bill of rights next year when lawmakers go back in session, and parents are a child's primary caregiver and policies around protecting parent rights can be built on this idea to protect children's health and prevent them from being compelled or forced to believe

any identity that violates -- ideas that violates state or civil rights laws. liz: thank you, jonathan. come back soon. >> sure. liz: i'm elizabeth mcdonned and you've been watching "the evening edit" on fox business. we hope you have a good evening and join us again tomorrow night. kennedy: welcome to it. a russian judge brought the hammer down on brittney griner, the basketball star sentenced to nine years, nine years. nine years in a russian prison today after pleading guilty to charges of drug smuggling and possession. she's been detained since february when she was caught at a moscow airport with cannabis oil vape cartridges in her luggage. today in court, she apologized again before the verdict was read. >> i hope that in your ruling
