despite legislative victories. hillary vaughn at the white house with more. hillary? reporter: good evening, liz. the president is taking a victory lap signing the inflation reduction act into law but bragging that this legislation takes the most aggressive climate action ever while still insisting it is also major cost cutting legislation for the american people. president biden: the inflation reduction act invests $369 billion to take the most aggressive action ever, ever, ever, ever, in confronting the climate crisis. it is going to offer working families thousands of dollars in savings by providing them rebates to buy new efficient appliances weatherize their homes, tax credit for purchasing heat pumps. reporter: americans hoping to cash in on the tax credits for solar panels and electric vehicles will have to spend money to save some money. for families making the switch to clean energy the biden

administration thinks the inflation reduction act will pay off with lower energy costs. there are several taxes in the inflation reduction act targeted at u.s. energy. a 16-cent tax for each barrel of crude oil produced 900-dollar tax for every ton of methane produced and dollar a ton of underground coal that is mined. all these experts say will make energy more expensive and middle-class families could be caught in the cross-hairs of that. the congressional budget office that this legislation counts on $20 billion of revenue because of increased audits of people making under $400,000 a year. elizabeth: thank you, hillary. we have the kc restaurants, andy puzder and the author of the war on small business, carol roth. you've been talking about this. show how democrats said do not raise taxes in the middle of a recession. watch this.

>> the last thing you want to do is raise taxes in the middle of a recession. >> when the economy is in decline you don't want to raise overall taxes. >> i don't think during a time of recession you mess with any of the taxes or increase any taxes. >> in an economy like this the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle class. elizabeth: why are they raising taxes in the middle of a recession, carol? >> i can't believe that we're taking economic cues from obama. he is sounding like you know, the vice of reason, liz, unbelievable. the reality is we have been through a historic transfer of wealth from main street to wall street. they're continuing that playbook. they're trying to basically gut the middle class, make them more dependent on the government, secure more power for themselves and give away cash to their i don't cronies and their friends that is the playbook for last couple years.

accelerated under the biden administration. now obama as i said is the voice of reason. elizabeth: carol, you also made this point too, and, andy, you talked about this the majority of white house officials they have never run a business. they're overseeing a multitrillion dollar spending agenda. even the uk just released embarrassing data showing the u.s. economy ranked bottom last out of group of seven countries. we're talking behind italy, behind france. that is really bad. even behind great britain which has double digit inflation. we've shrunk for two quarters. the white house and democrats dem explain away we're not in recession. we are. that is to you, andy. >> they just want to redefine the words. they just want to redefine the words. they want to pretend you're not in a recession. they say two quarters of negative growth is not in a recession. they claim 8.5% inflation is zero inflation. they have a bill which will increase inflation. it is really a climate bill.

it is not and inflation reduction bill t. it will increase inflation and they call it the inflation reduction bill. this, you can't believe anything the administration says. i don't think the goal is economic growth. they would like it if they could implement these policies and the economy grew but that's not their goal. i think brian deece said it very plainly a couple weeks ago when asked how american families deal with the price of gas? he said look we're trying to preserve the liberal world order, we have to be dill again. that gives it away. they're prei have serving the liberal world order. elizabeth: brian deece is boasting, to andy's point, brian deece, carol, the white house economic advisor boasting we're making historic investment in the irs, and cbo joint tax committee already saying they will go after audits of lower, middle class taxpayers. we have to move on to this carol. we have a lot to deal with.

democrats went from inflation is transitory to it's zero. carol, they're avoiding talking about it all together. watch this democrat running away. >> what parts of the bill do you think will quickly work on that? >> i, next question. elizabeth: why can't he answer the question, carol? that is jamie raskin? >> i mean i think andy hit it on the head. they're absolutely not concerned with inflation. they're trying to spin the name of this bill, trying to get that out of the way now that they have sold it to something that is around climate change and you know, we've seen the impact of inflation just within the last 24 hours. somebody on twitter showed us now that we have 7500-dollar ev tax, ford has raised the price of its f-150 electric vehicle. you want to guess by how much? by about $8,000. so this is just another one of their corporate giveaways from the, from the middle class to the corporations to the wealthy

and well-connected. so of course they're not going to address the question. elizabeth: "the washington post," andy, to carol's point saying it will not cut inflation, it's not. it's still standing near a 40-year high. "the washington post" joining us. penn wharton, tax policy center is looking at it too. moody's analyticses sent it won't cut inflation. where is "politifact"? where is the fact-checkers on alternative facts and topspin out of the white house? we'll show the topspin. paid family leave is infrastructure, zero inflation. that is a lie. netted out after gas dropping. now that gas is going up. where are the fact-checkers on this? >> they are nowhere. voice of reason as carol is saying is now barack obama, bill maher, larry summers, elon musk. these are the people that are actually making any sense at all from the left side of, from the left side of the oil. this bill is ridiculous. if you want to reduce inflation what you want to do is bring down demand which the fed is

trying to do, build up supply. so supply and demand equal out inflation, it will be very low. this bill will increase demand with half a trillion dollars in spending on top of a 1.9 they spent in march of 2021. it will restrict the supply side with these increased taxes. instead of helping, helping increase supply and decrease demand they're doing just the opposite. you have to really, it is bizarro world approach to trying to deal with inflation because that is not their goal. their goal is to enact this liberal agenda. elizabeth: you know, to what andy just said, carol, americans, economists in ugov the recent poll, nine out of 10 don't believe it will cut inflation. 12%, only 12% say the bill will reduce inflation. so we're in upside down, we've fallen through the looking glass with this rhetoric and messaging out of d.c. what do you say, carol? >> it is incredible. to andy's point we're taking productive dollars in the private sector and we're moving

it in a nonproductive way to the government to allocate. we know that none of these people could pass an econ 101 exam. that everything they have cut, done so far they have gotten wrong. now all of a sudden they will magically be able to reallocate dollars from you, knowing what you want to do in the free market to themselves, doing the corporate giveaway, by the way doing all of this, they are going to save the climate and the planet because they know exactly what they're doing. elizabeth: they have never balanced a budget in they have never balance ad budget. so they're going to save the planet. listen to senator john kennedy on this. watch. >> president biden has stepped on every rake in the yard. i don't mean to be unfair but it has been cringe-worthy. he has mismanaged congress, mismanaged covid, mismanaged crime, mismanaged the border, mismanaged 9 afghanistan, mismanaged the economy,

mismanaged the inflation and forfeited america's energy independence. elizabeth: i don't know how you have that whole list in his head. andy puzder, your final word? >> look, i wish i lived in louisiana so i could vote for senator kennedy. that was, he is a very articulate man. he gets right to the heart of the issue. this president has failed at everything he has tried. what we need is, we need to get to the november election. elizabeth: not failing, what he is not failing at record spending of, tax-and-spending of peoples money. andy puzder, carol roth, thanks for joining us this evening. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: another record is about to be broken, border arrests. first time in u.s. history, two million seizures of fentanyl tripling. where is the border czar kamala harris her investigation into the root causes of all of that? and new indications that the fbi search of trump's florida home was for wider reasons beyond the stated allegations?

♪. elizabeth: the fate of gop congresswoman liz cheney of wyoming, her future in congress at stake tonight. a major gop primary fight, senator lisa murkowski of alaska, sarah palin in gop primary battles in alaska. fox news rich edson with the latest from wyoming. rich. reporter: good evening, liz. congresswoman liz cheney is trying to fend off harriet hageman, an attorney in wyoming. she has the support of former president donald trump. supporters are here in wyoming at a fund-raiser. many are campaigning against congresswoman cheney while they are here. they say this is a referendum on cheney vice-chairing the january 6 committee and her criticism of the former president. cheney's supporters say she is standing up for her principles against the wing of a party that tried to overturn a legitimate election. they're trying to convince registered democrats independents, to switch to the republican party to vote for cheney. they can do that in wyoming.

senior republicans say that is not right. >> this is desperate aspect of cheney's campaign. >> the impact is minimal. we're in wyoming, this is purple state. there are not enough democrats if they crossed over. reporter: some of that might be happening. in january there were 45,000 registered democrats 196,000. this month, 9400 fewer democrats. 19,000 more republicans. neither candidate had any public events last couple days. voting ends 7:00 p.m. local, 9:00 p.m. eastern. there has been absent see voting past six weeks. elizabeth: rich edson, thank you so much. joining us former congressional investigator sam dewey and "washington examiner" byron york. let's break this down. the doj motion to keep the affidavit sealed in search of trump's home, to do so would hurt what other high-profile

investigations. the question is, what other investigations? the search warrant is written broadly to go beyond the alleged violations of espionage act, records destruction, they could collect every single document at mar-a-lago when trump was president. what do you make of this? >> this is interesting because it does raise the specter of, this is narrowly focused on the records or is this broader? it would suggest this is broader. maybe other investigations relate to the january 6, conduct at the capitol. be it the grand jury investigation we know is underway into the georgia issue and certainly the way -- written what indeed they collected appear to be much broader than the simple records issue. so just again adds questions to the existing questions. elizabeth: this accelerates the legal drama, byron, to what sam just said. what do you make of it? >> well, you know there has been some questioning when this first

happened, was this doj search warrant action, was it an attempt to get the documents back to preserve their secrecy or was it an attempt to get trump? and i think the, the justice department's papers filed in this case kind of suggested it is the latter, to get trump. they're not just trying to retrieve the documents, and bring them to safety. it was a really, really broad search warrant. it did not specify that everything had to be classified. as you said it was, the department could pick up and take any document produced between january 20th, 2017 when trump took office, and january 20th, 2021, when he left it. was not at all limited to documents that relate to this classification case right now. elizabeth: so what byron just said, sam what do you think of this, the judge calling a hearing this thursday about releasing more documents behind

the search. trump wants the affidavit released but sam, it details what probable cause triggered the search. usually you don't release affidavits until you figured out whether somebody will be charged so they do not unfairly ruin the reputation of the target meaning trump. where do you stand on that? >> well i think you're right about the normal case. i think this is an extraordinary case. in this country up until now we had a tradition that you don't raid the home of your primary political opponent unless you have overwhelming evidence of a crime but one, two, of a serious crime, not procedural records violation, something else, and three, you do it transparently. the example there would be watergate. although i would expect that the judge will probably keep the warrant sealed i think there really is no law on this point because the public interest is so overwhelming. we've never had a case like

this. elizabeth: it went from nuclear secrets to passports, melania's closet, byron. now we have house judiciary republicans hitting the doj and fbi with preservation of documents notices. house oversight told national archives to do the same of the thing is, byron constitutionally has the power, the president has the power to declassify but government agencies who classify them first have to weigh in. the debate is, we have to keep government documents secure. you're not supposed to have classified documents when you're no longer in office but the same issue was brought up what was hillary clinton doing with unsecured blackberry traveling around china when china spies are all over china telecom traveleling there? she had classified emails on her private server at home. there was no search or raid at her home. >> if you look back to the hillary clinton case, a number of democrats who claimed as partially as a defense that the government overclassified things. it classifies way, way too many documents.

that is actually true. barack obama, president at the time, said of the hillary clinton case, well you know with something that is classified top secret it could be really top secret, top secret or it could be something kind of they don't want the everybody to see, that it is not that important a document. now the important thing here, important thing is to find out what these documents are. are they real? are they the nuclear secrets. are they something far, far less serious. that will tell us whether the justice department was justified in staging this raid or whether it was overkill. elizabeth: yeah, within 100 days of the midterms. sam dewey, byron york, thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> thank you. elizabeth: watch out, experts are warning your gas prices they're going back up. democrats just launched a costly green agenda but funding potentially green energy flops just like those under obama,

but the white house, right, but what the white house has been "dem-splaining" gas prices two months. they drained the strategic reserves at $100 a barrel. they paid 29 on average for those barrels. now gas experts are warning gas will go back up again, oil is rebounding, up 40 cents a gallon as oil prices risen. what do you think about this? >> this is absolutely ludicrous t was totally avoidable at the start. no reason we should pay five dollars a gas. this morning i filled up my gas tank here in florida at $3.95. i was fortunate to participate in an event with americans for prosperity, we lowered price of gas what it was nationally on average the day before biden took office. we dropped the gas price at one gas station down to $2.38. suffice it to say there was close to just roadblocks and

police had to come out and help with traffic. and, in the span of an hour, over 1500 gallons of gas were purchased. i had the opportunity to talk to folks who were in line waiting for this, you know, cheap gallon of gas purchase. one of the guys who came in to the gas station said, i actually was a pipeline worker who got laid off when biden took office. it was unbelievable. he said he moved to florida because it was the freest state in the union and he works at a local manufacturing plant but, he is just stunned. single mom. elizabeth: they're wiping out, you know, by the way, we're looking at this, we have details coming out who exactly is on john kerry, the climate czar payroll. people from the imf, u.n., national resources council. we have people who former officials from the u.n., imf, they want to wipe out u.s. oil and gas jobs? >> yeah. >>

$360 billion with a b. going to tax credits, 30% tax credits for energy efficient windows. good luck finding windows. elizabeth: to your point, green energy is dirty and he polluting. china is powering up coal factories to make solar panels. they're get getting tax breaks to mine lithium, cobalt, critical minerals for electric car batteries when environmentalists say that destroys the environment. then, they're not going to have to pay any royalties on that. klein dominates those markets too. your final word? >> that is exactly the problem. we regulated ourselves out of an industry here in the united states. we have to get back to domestic production so we can get secure, to bring down the price of gas. republicans will do that when we take back the house. until then the biden administration will continue to rack up taxes, fees, royalties on oil and methane as we head into the winter. get ready for it.

many americans were over there. and another problem, liz, is, we probably transported close to 100,000 afghanis to the united states. that was way more than the state department estimated. were these people vetted and where are they now? we don't know and the american people deserve answers. elizabeth: who would you subpoena to testify? >> this would be blinken. this is all secretary blinken. the military equipment failure is on the military. that is the secretary of defense. but the stranded americans, all the afghan anies who came over here we don't know anything about. we asked information, were these people properly vetted? we don't have any answers. elizabeth: the british parliament by the way condemned this, right? tony blair, former prime minister said biden's actions were quote imbecileic. the senate rand foreign relations while senator. he has been around nixon. presidencies warned since the '90s said careful planning was

tedious orgy of self-righteousness in his office, his deputy d.a.s, said we can't stand him. we have to fight against his weak-on-crime policies. we have deputy d.a.s up in arms against gascon right now. what do you say? >> well, for starters, good evening, elizabeth. this is really an atrocity for the citizens that live in los angeles county. when you have assistant district attorneys, senior assistant district attorneys, separating themselves from george gascon's policies this is clearly something we see affecting their population in a negative way. i blame george soros. it was george soros that funded gascon's campaign when he came into incumbency back in 2020. elizabeth: so you know, khatami, the deputy d.a. says gascon's policy releasing dangerous felons and murders back on the streets is creating a ticking

time bomb. he will eventually victimize somebody else. he doesn't care. this is fight for victims and families to make sure there is accountability. that everybody is safe, that there is justice. people in california do not feel safe any longer. we had caitlyn jenner talking about that last week. see shade the same thing? >> yeah, well, if you look what gascon is doing, following in the pathway of the san francisco district attorney that was recalled a couple months ago. this is something that is obvious. you go in one year, you make a critical assessment in terms of if you're policies are working, or not working. based on the litmus test, you advance the agenda you feel best for that population. however gascon is not doing that i think he is just operating on the fly, if you want to call it that, because the crime rate in los angeles is reaching meteoric high. nothing is being done internally. i question why the governor didn't step in. elizabeth: that is a good point

because patricia, the founder, ceo of crime survivors incorporated, california-based, focused on helping victims of violent crime and their families, she is saying she is extremely worried for victims and survivors of crime after the second recall of gascon failed. they're feeling like they're dealing with the moral vanity, more superiority of these white shoe kind of prosecutors who don't live on the front lines of what their policies create. >> where is the support for the victims? all i hear is this decriminalization but i don't see any support for the victims. the population is under siege. the district attorney is the person that is supposed to invoke law and other within that community of los angeles. but he has failed to hit the mark. he could either make this opportunity or miss this opportunity. unfortunately george gascon has missed this opportunities have a result. elizabeth: darren porcher, thanks for joining us. good to see you. >> thanks for having me.

greg abbott again sent more buses of illegal immigrants from the lone star state to new york city to send a message to lawmakers in washington. mayor eric adams increasingly upset about this. fox news nate foy has more. >> elizabeth. multiple migrant buses have left texas and coming to new york city. the new york post reports they may have luxurious accommodations. we have now video of the hotel called row new york city. the post reports the city plans to use it as a shelter and intake center for as many as 600 may grant families. new york city officials say every migrant will be cared for and they're still criticizing the texas governor. >> what governor abbott is doing is causing more confusion, more harm to individuals that are already traumatized. >> elizabeth, the texas official in charge of these migrant buses

tells fox news that the mayor's office is lying about the conditions these migrants face. texas says every bus is stocked with four days worth of food for 50 people. and every migrant voluntarily gets on each bus. they can get off at multiple stops along the way. texas officials say this can all be stopped if president biden does more. also today, startling new numbers from the border. last month alone, border patrol arrested ten people on the fbi's terrorist screening data base. that makes 66 so far this fiscal year, which is more than double the previous five years combined. also in july, border patrol reports the amount of fentanyl seized at the southern border is up 203%. no new buses arrived in new york city today, but we will be all over it again tomorrow. back to you, elizabeth. liz: great reporting, nay foy. joining us is former acting ice director tom homan.

for all ports of entry for the northern and southern border, more than 200 terrorists caught so far this fiscal year. that's more than the 156 caught last fiscal year. the amount of fentanyl at the border tripled from june to july. where is vice president border kamala harris into the root causes of this? where does that stand? >> she's missing in action. she hasn't done a damn thing to address the border surge. look, it came out yesterday that the president of guatemala and president of el salvador haven't spoken to anybody at the white house for over a year and she obviously isn't looking for the underlying reason for the surge. shements to look for the root causes and i've said it before, walk down the hall to joe biden's office and there's the root causes there. we've been talking about, liz -- liz: go ahead. >> the national security issue, if they've arrested 66, how many

of the -- they're up to 900,000 now. 900,000 got away since joe biden became president, how many of them are known suspected terrorists and this scared the hell out of every american. liz: it's more than 200 arrested at all ports of entry including northern and southern border. we sent a quarter billion dollars, kamala harris sent it into central america so how has her work made the u.s. safer? >> she hasn't done anything and sending money to central america doesn't work. we've been done that road for decades. president trump got it right. i met with president trump in the oval office and he said i'm not giving them a dime. matter of fact, i'm going to take money away. any aid we give them, i'm going to threaten to take it back unless they do their job and secure their border and stop the surge. it worked. president trump thought out of the box instead of paying them, he held money back and it worked. this is a lesson we should learn. it was the first time it worked

and we ought to be doing that but instead this administration went down the same road as the obama administration and clinton administration handing them millions of dollars that didn't mean a thing and they're not going anything because the country is corrupt. liz: we've got $2 million. that's the size of nerve nucleus. even elon musk is saying it's strange the media is giving very little attention to this when fbi director wray testified biden's border collapse is significant. a significant security issue and then, you know how the white house said, we're going to step in and help fixed the border wall in arizona, arizona had to step in and do it on its own. they're moving in shipping containers to close the gaps on the border wall, your final word. >> they're only saying that to try and get kelly reelected in arizona because he's in trouble. look, the bottom line is about the end of this fiscal year. we're going to have close to 5 million illegal entries in the country and that's counting over 1 million got aways. 5 million since becoming president. this is absurd. the country is at risk over

100,000 fentanyl overdose. 1200 migrants died on u.s. soil since joe biden became president and we don't hear a word. liz: tom homan, it's good to see you. i'm elizabeth macdonald and you've been watching "the evening edit" and that's it for us. join us again tomorrow night. kennedy: ali versus frazier, and coke versus pepsi and now trump versus garland. the former president setting up the showdown of showdowns with the attorney general pushing garland to reveal his cards over the raid on mar-a-lago. he's demanded the fbi return his stuff but today on truth social, number 45 wants again upped the ante posting "there's no way to justify the unannounced raid of mar-a-lago, the home of the 45td states who got more votes by
