gas prices. now hitting midterm races for democrats. there is talk that the gop could win senate seats in nevada and pennsylvania. high gas is hurting 29 vulnerable house democrats and 18 seats. this is what clear view energy says in d.c. edward lawrence in washington with more. edward. reporter: liz, president joe biden getting defensive over gas prices and oil prices in today's race. president announcing end of his 180 million barrels released from the strategic petroleum reserve he is saying that the last bit will go out in december. the president defended his actions saying none of it is in the midterm elections president looks it make sense, i have been doing it for how long? it is not politically motivated at all. it is motivated i continue to push what i've been pushing on and that is making sure there is enough that is being pumped by
6:04 pm
the companies and at the same time keep moving in the direction of providing for alternative energy. that is what i've been doing. reporter: he also called out oil companies for not increasing production in the u.s. the president plans to refill the strategic petroleum reserve when the price of oil reaches between 67 and$2 -- $72 a barrel, $17.4 billion and 1.billion dollars to add back all the 260 million barrels the president released. former president donald trump tried to refill the strategic petroleum reserve at $24 a barrel when he was in office. democrats blocked that saying it was a payoff to big oil. today the white house press secretary says we're in a different moment in time so buying oil from oil companies not a payoff. elizabeth: edward lawrence great reporting as always. joining us congressman greg stuebe from house foreign affairs and brexit party nigel farage. we'll get to nigel later in the
6:05 pm
hit. thanks for joining us tonight. congressman stuebe is clearly for the midterm vote>> 100%. elizabeth: what is he doing is not sustainable. >> 100%. the strategic petroleum reserve is supposed to be used for war, military vehicles, emergencies like we had here in the state of florida. it is not supposed to be used for political motivations to lower what will happen with the cost of fuel and gas so that people aren't more inclined to vote for republicans. so transparent what they're doing the mainstream media is talking about the fact they're doing it right before the midterms. we're three weeks before the midterms. suddenly biden feels the need to release the strategic petroleum reserve to lower prices so that people aren't feeling the pain at the pump. only a small bandaid on what is going to happen. it will still not lower prices on consumption americans have every single day. this can be stopped right now by the war on domestic energy production. by reversing what they did on
6:06 pm
day one. allow the keystone pipeline to come in. allow for the domestic production for oil and gas. allow for reserves we have here under the ground to be pulled out for americans. elizabeth: now he is releasing more than 200 million barrels in less than two years, again more than all prior presidents since nixon combined when this was launched. u.s. oil production under biden has yet to return to prepandemic levels, about 13 million barrels a day. it was boomeranging around. it is a million barrels short of that. >> he is almost taken a third. i think more than a third of our reserves for political motivations and all he has to do is allow for the domestic production of oil and gas but unfortunately the progressive left that runs his administration won't let him do that they can't admit we need a strong production right here in the united states to be able to one, have safety and security for the american people and two, have a constant flow of oil and gas right here in america. elizabeth: he is claiming it is not political but the move comes
6:07 pm
just weeks after the white house pressured saudi arabia and opec to delay until after the midterms their cut in oil production by two million barrels a day. i mean saudi arabia said that there was pressure there. >> of course there was. that was the whole reason that he went there. this is a country he called pariah and they don't like his policies on iran which is one of their enemies which is why they have no problems in doing what they're doing because they will make more money by slowing production. it is simple economics and it goes right into the face and shows how little respect this administration has on the world stage. elizabeth: show what the, what is going on in u.s. cities. we're seeing 10% plus inflation in u.s. cities you know, across the nation right now. rising gas and rising crime are hitting midterms. final word, congressman? >> you're seeing that as we recover from hurricane ian here in my district the prices of things to replace soffit, facia, lumber and tarps and shingles, all the things that we need are
6:08 pm
twice and three types the amount they would be all because of the supply chain crisis that the democrats put in place in this country. elizabeth: got it. congressman greg stuebe, thanks for joining us. to you, nigel farage. we welcome you to the show. good to see you, my friend. inflation, inflation in the uk is also hitting 10%. grocery prices in the uk also up 14% just like it is right here in the u.s. what's going on with the uk's new treasury chief tossing out almost all of uk prime minister truss's tax cuts, now the prime minister apologizing for that? >> two things here. first the inflation. despite a very strong dollar and despite very hawkish interest rate policies from the fed, which a cynic may say was the americans attempting to export inflation to their trading partners, despite inflation is strong in america. now, the lesson milton friedman taught us back in the late 1970s
6:09 pm
was inflation is a disease of money caused by government creating money and too much money. think of the trillions that have been given out to american citizens during the pandemic and just after. so the lesson here, whether it is on your side of the pond or mine. dagen: inflation this disease of money is here to stay. it will last much longer than anybody in the fed or bank of england will ever tell you. elizabeth: to hear, go ahead, nigel, finish your thought. >> yeah, point two, we have just been through the nearest thing to a political coup my country has ever seen. a new prime minister, a new chancellor of the exchequer attempted for the first time in 40 years to reduce the tax burden significantly, to ease regulation on sole traders, independents and small businesses and the global
6:10 pm
community, from the imf in washington to the white house, to german chancellor, to the european central bank actually condemned the measures. that there was a run on the markets last friday and the chancellor has been replaced by a pro-chinese communist party globalist, pro-eu, remainder in what is a leave country. it literally is a coup. he reversed all of the incentives for small business, all of the tax cuts that were proposed. this is a globalist coupe that happened in the united kingdom. i never thought in my life i would witness anything like it. elizabeth: quite striking. you know the prime minister wanted to reverse, she wanted to unleash uk energy and so that has been hitting the uk hard too. final word, nigel, got to go, 10 seconds? >> you know what? our energy crisis is desperate. yours isn't too bad but the fact
6:11 pm
that biden is releasing your strategic reserves is idiocy he could have carried on trump's policy making america a net energy exporter. learn that lesson. vote the right way in three weeks time. elizabeth: nigel farage, thanks for taking the time to spend time with us. it is good to see you again. you will come back on again soon. thanks for joining us. more on "the wall street journal"'s investigation into top government officials ramping up their stock trades in companies affected by covid policies and bailouts. we've got major conflicts of interest here. plus this new covid vaccine controversy. we have got the sound on tape, the ceo of moderna now says the young may not need covid boosters after all. this after the media attacked folks out there who said the same thing. florida surgeon general dr. joseph ladapo joins us next on "the evening edit." ♪

6:16 pm
that it wasn't peer reviewed and it didn't determine what actually caused the deaths of the men in the group. so what do you say to the criticism of thatnals is? >> i say that there's been a lot of criticism by individuals who have not bothered to read or understand the methods of the study and ultimately we did a study using a method that has been used hundreds of times in published papers and the point of this paper, of this analysis wasn't to publish another manuscript in a journal. the point of thenal says was to answer an important safety question and that's what our team of biostatisticians and epidemiologists did. elizabeth: yeah. >> so a lot of the criticism is just nonsense because ultimately the problem is that people are very uncomfortable with the finding. elizabeth: there has not been enough debate and discussion of the effects of the vaccine on, themselves on people's health,
6:17 pm
on the cardiac problems as well because, myocarditis and more. we've been covering that. doctor, we have to move on this new firestorm, the ceo of covid-19 vaccine maker moderna says the young may not have to take a covid booster at all. only the vulnerable. watch this. >> i think it is going to be -- which is again if you're 25-year-old, you need an annual booster every year, if you're healthy. you might want it but i think it is very similar to the flu where the kids -- [inaudible] before 50 years of age, with comorbidity, cancer and other -- [inaudible]. that is to think about this, going to have decipher what they are able to do. elizabeth: doctor, remember the visioning schuss media attacks against people who said the same thing? >> i can't quite recall those right now. >> we sure do.
6:18 pm
but he is now saying the young may not need to get boosted. why you have only one in 20 getting boosted in the u.s.? booster shots are sitting on the shelf. >> you know what? it is actually, there is actually even more meaning than that. in denmark they don't recommend, they no longer recommend the covid-19 vaccine shots for mrna vaccine shots for people under 50. they have a nice flowery way of communicating that but the bottom line is this, folks, if people aren't recommending something for younger age group, it means that the benefits in that age group are not thought to outweigh the risks. in other words, they are implicitly saying that the risk outweighs the benefits in that group. and -- elizabeth: so doctor -- >> that is in line with our analysis. elizabeth: what is with the monolithic thinking in the pandemic we all had to think the same way? we weren't allowed to question anything including things like
6:19 pm
shutdowns, including things like efficacy and danger of the vaccines? >> it is all the same and it will continue unfortunately because our public health officials at federal level, largely the state level across this country have just proven they're unable to adjust to data, adjust their beliefs to what the data are saying and you're right, the masks, the lockdowns, the criminal, i mean just so harmful school closures, they are just unable to adjust their beliefs to align with the data and by the way, this new finding that we have in florida, it is the same thing. elizabeth: you know florida state opened by the way and dr. fauci is now spinning the narrative he never called for shutdowns. he is leaving the nih. let's check him on the record. he did recommend shutdowns. watch this. >> was it a mistake in so many states and so many localities to see schools closed as long as they were? >> i had nothing to do with --
6:20 pm
let's get down to the facts. i didn't shut down anything. i recommended to the president that we shut the country down and the only way to do that is by draconian means of essentially shutting down a country. we know that we can do that if we shut down. well if i knew at the time that shutting down would have such a dramatic effect on controlling the spread obviously we would have shut down earlier. elizabeth: not only did he say shut down, he said he would have shut down earlier. those are the facts, dr. fauci. your reaction? >> earlier and harder, that is the dr. fauci playbook. i hope americans recognize that the individual that led the response, that president biden and all these other people were saying they trust, is now, he is clearly lying. he is the energy behind the shutdowns and he has the
6:21 pm
audacity to go on tv and tell people that he didn't have anything to do with it. that's the individual and how can you trust someone like that. i hope you don't. it is not a good idea. elizabeth: you know, maybe we should have had you running what was going on you know what i mean, doctor? at least science, science is about being open to debate. instead this was a failed crisis of leadership. it was a failure of leadership. that's what hurt us during the shutdowns. final word. >> no, i totally agree with you. it was a huge failure. sadly it will have ramifications for decades to come, particularly because of those school closures. your kids, your kids kids, it is such a terrible policy. elizabeth: the bullying that went along treating people like sheep. we were supposed to go along with it, never ask questions, no, never. dr. ladapo. thanks so much for your insights. good to see you. thanks for joining us. critics are blasting the media for keeping voters in the dark about major problems special

6:26 pm
elizabeth: look who is here, rebecca ballhouse, investigate testify reporter for "the wall street journal." rebecca, so good you joined us tonight. thank you so much. okay, your paper has been doing a deep dive into conflicts of interest in the government. what is going on with what your new report, top government officials were ramping up stock trades right when the pandemic hit in big companies affected by covid policies? what happened here? >> there were a couple things we found in the analysis. we were looking for interesting patterns of trades in the beginning of 2020 in a period where the federal government had a lot more insight into what was coming on with covid than the general public and certainly paying a lot closer attention and when we found at the health and human services department the selling of stocks and funds in january of 2020 a time where hhs was very involved in the response and had a lot of
6:27 pm
insight how severe the threat might be, there were 60% more sales reported that month than the average over the previous 12 months. then at the treasury department we found flip side of that, which is that as the government was preparing to roll out a variety of measures aimed at sort of boosting the markets amid all this economic turmoil, hundreds of officials reported, reported buying stocks and funds in february 2020 before some of those measures were announced. elizabeth: which agencies are we talking? hhs, treasury department, who else? >> so we looked at all of the health agencies, all the economic agencies, the ones where those patterns of numbers that stood out the most were hhs and treasury but we also found a number of individual anecdotes that really stood out to us. that was agencies like nih, the transportation department, some people at the treasury department as well. >> what concerns you most about this, rebecca? >> i think, you know it is
6:28 pm
always striking, you want to feel like people are acting in the best interests of the government, especially at a period like this and i think, you know we didn't find any evidence people were deliberately selling their stocks because they specifically knew what was coming but we did find this pattern of selling and buying at sort of opportune times and i think, you know, it does sort of call into question whether the ethics rules in place right now are well-equipped to deal with something like this. a crisis, very fast moving, information is spreading all over the government and people have a lot of insight into how the market might move ahead of the general economy. elizabeth: they were also taking directional bets, right? they're doing option trading, short selling you know what i mean? that is a directional effect on the impact of the policy on the company. the inspector generals of each agency are they looking at your paper's reporting here?
6:29 pm
last week you found nearly 2600 top officials across 50 government agencies, epa, fda, doj, cashing in on stock trade on companies they regulate. >> we're not aware of inspectors general looking into this just yet but this covid story just ran today. i would say the other thing that was in our reporting that was really striking to me was how many officials own stock in companies that were affected by the government's pandemic response and by the pandemic. so that is like airlines, restaurants, hotels, those kind of industries we found hundreds of officials broadly across the government were invested in those companies and, for some of them that might be an area before the pandemic hit wasn't relevant to them or relevant to their jobs whether they were invested in those companies you about it is another illustration with areas where the rules could look a little more body. elizabeth: interesting, rebecca, that so much. that was great interview.

- [announcer] call aag, the country's number one reverse mortgage lender. - call the number on your screen. elizabeth: okay. here is the latest in the criminal probe of the trump-russia investigation. word is special counsel john durham is now preparing a final, potentially withering report, possibly with more revelations about what happened at the fbi after the primary source for that debunked, discredited trump russia dossier acquitted of lying to the bureau. fox news's mark meredith in d.c. with more. mark. reporter: good evening to you.
6:35 pm
we're waiting to see if special counsel john durham may charge minute else or if his three-year long investigation into the fbi's probe of the 2016 trump campaign is officially wrapping up. just yesterday a jury acquitted igor danchenko of four counts of lying to the fbi. he durham accused long time fbi informant and and think tank analyst about his role in the infamous trump dossier. it was used to justify the federal probe into russia and donald trump. his lawyers reacted since the not guilty verdict was announced. >> we've known ault along mr. danchenko knows he is innocent. we're happen the american public knows that as well. reporter: tuesday's verdict is seen as major setback for durham. in a statement he was disappointed in the outcomb but also respected the jury's decision. legal experts tell us essentially means durham's probe is about to enter its final stages. aside from the court cases here durham is expected to write a
6:36 pm
report detailing what he learned about the fbi's behavior when it came to the handling of the trump campaign. that report which be eventually submitted to the attorney general. we don't know when the report will be finished, we believe some if not most of it is expected to be released publicly. liz? elizabeth: interesting, mark meredith. thank you so much, great reporting there. joining us former deputy independent counsel sol wisenberg. always a pleasure having you on. what was your reaction to this acquittal? >> i wasn't very surprised by it. durham had a really tough job which was to prove that the false statement that danchenko allegedly made was material to the fbi and it is pretty clear that the fbi didn't want to know anything negative about the steele dossier and so, i can very easily see a jury saying, well it wasn't material to the fbi, so i'm not surprised. >> that is a really high standard. there was word that the judge would toss out the conviction
6:37 pm
anyway. that is what is happening too. the other thing how the media is reporting on this, sol, what was going on behind the scenes at fbi. they are saying there is no deep state. that is not the point. it is what the fbi was doing that is alarming. listen to former attorney general william barr's reaction to all of this on "america's newsroom." >> the real public interest is served by exposing the full extent of the corruption involved in the russia-gate and the abuse by the fbi in that whole episode and i think, durham will get a report out that will lay out all the facts. >> what do you think, sol? >> oh i definitely agree with that and barr made that point when he was still attorney general. just because something is corrupt and wrong doesn't necessarily mean it's a crime. so i do think that will come out in the durham report. on the other hand, you don't want to use a criminal prosecution to make that point unless you can also prove your
6:38 pm
case. which i think durham thought he could prove his case but it is very tough here when the so-called victim organization, the fbi, is itself engaged basically covering up the problems it encountered with the steele dossier. elizabeth: media like msnbc says this proofs trump deep state attacks are a lie. former fbi official says this is the issue, about what voters never knew what was going on behind the scenes at the fbi, breaking and bend egg the rules to spy on the trump campaign using hillary's opposition research including what the doj-ig found. they misled the fisa court meant for terrorists. 17 errors and problems there. also about how the hillary campaign and dnc helped fund this opposition research, pushed it into the fbi and the other story they were pushing that the trump organization was talking to a russian bank when that was just reportedly trump hotel marketing spam emails. you know what i mean, sol?
6:39 pm
>> yeah, but keep in mind it is not just durham of the department of justice's own inspector general, michael horowitz found a lot of this stuff out. he is the one who first exposed all of the falsehoods in the fisa report. he is not a republican or anything like it. don't focus on issues like i would say to people, don't focus on issues is there a deep state or not. focus on the fact this was a completely corrupt political investigation and it was basically the lead figure in it is james comey there is no question about that anymore at all in the durham probe so far helped to show that. elizabeth: that is interesting. to your point, yeah, even the mueller probe, which found problems, right? the mueller probe was shutting down fbi agents who said wait a second, the fbi is using christopher steele who is talking to a clinton operative, shouldn't we look into his connections to things like putin's press secretary? they were shut down.
6:40 pm
so fbi, even in the mueller probe the team was shutting down fbi analysts and agents who were raising questions what was going on, sol? >> that's right. that was testimony from this trial under oath and mueller people said, wouldn't give them the approval to question key witnesses and so, it is no wonder the jury said, of course it wasn't material to the fbi. they didn't care. elizabeth: that's it. sol wisenberg, great analysis as always. we'll have you back on again soon. good to see you. >> thank you. elizabeth: this story, rising gas, rising home heating costs, crime, it is slamming the midterm races. we've got the story. republicans within striking distance of winning their races because of violent felonies happening in those cities. joe gamaldi and "the hill"'s joe concha next on "the evening edit" an. or whatever this is.

6:47 pm
getting airtight, it is getting tighter so it is crime and rising gas. what do you say joe gamaldi? >> well you know a recent harvard "harris poll" said 68% of americans consider crime a very serious issue and i mean do you really blame them? 2021 was the deadliest year in this country in 30 years. we're seeing crime and disorder everywhere. we police officers are being hunted in the streets. we had 275 police officers shot already this year. the american people, they see what's going on and they know who is to blame. it is the democrats who pushed these voc, revolving door criminal justice policies. take fetterman for example. he is running in senate in pennsylvania. when he ran for lieutenant governor it was a part of his platform to let more people out of jail. now you don't want to talk about that now because philadelphia just had their highest murder rate in recorded history last year. they will probably pass it up this year but the truth is we're at a fork in the road here, liz in this country. down one path is chaos and anarchy. down the other is law and order.

i know where i'm at but every single this person in the country needs to vote for law and order candidates to turn this country around. we owe it to ourselves and the next generation. elizabeth: joe concha, what joe is just saying, the president was talking about oh, oil companies are doing price gouging but which see now pennsylvania and nevada are being moved into the tossup races because of rising gas, rising crime. it looks like 29 vulnerable house, those are senate races. so the senates are moving into tossups. we've got 1states, 29 potentially at risk house democrats are now getting hit by rising gas but it is also crime is an issue. what do you think? >> we live in a more expense system country, elizabeth, and we liz in a less safe country. when you combine the two things, whether inflation and gas and crime, that is not good for the party in power in states like new york. you look at the cross tabs of that "qunnipiac poll" as far as zeldin versus hochul, zeldin is
6:49 pm
up by 20 points, 57-37 among independents. those are the people that can help decide elections. most important issue cited? crime. that ain't good for kathy hochul. not like we have a gust of wind at lee zeldin's back. feels more like a gale force gust. this is a state andrew cuomo won with 60% of the vote four years ago. in a state where the largest city by the way, the worst mayor in the history of mayors in any town in any country at anytime, bill de blasio got reelected with 66% of the vote. the fact this race is essentially a dead-heat tells how poorly things are going on in new york and in other races across the country where democrats no answer, no answer as far as high gas prices, high inflation, high crime. they don't have anything positive to run on. elizabeth: that is a good point. look at new york city mayor eric adams make this joke at a press conference about bail reform and gun laws, watch this. >> one thing for sure, one law that was passed is clearly being practiced right now because i smell some weed.
6:50 pm
[laughter]. someone is smoking -- [laughter]. all right. you smell that, marcia? elizabeth: all right. joe gamaldi, reaction to that. show what is going on in philadelphia. a crowd throwing bottles and bricks at philadelphia police. police are getting attacked in new york. might be funny to talk about marijuana. some people who are victims of crime may not be into that at all joe gamaldi. >> knots he was only one laughing? nobody else was. you know why? crime is through the roof in new york city. people moving out in droves. destroying tax base. police officers are getting attacked every single day. no one is safe on the subway. talking about how somebody smoking weed around him. perhaps just a little bit of perspective and tact is in order. instead he is playing his fiddle while rome burns. liz, this was the guy that would bring back law and order.
6:51 pm
now he is a joke. elizabeth: to joe concha, your final word? >> eric adams with all due respects is an idiot. i won't bring my kids to new york city anymore, we used to take the train to penn station. you get there homeless are everywhere, surrounded by urine and place smells like weed. why that is important, eric adams, tourism at last check is very important to new york city. when the city looks, smells the way it does. maybe people don't want to come anymore. the fact he was laughing about that, shows this guy ain't serious about his job. elizabeth: yoga mauled did i, joe concha, the two joe's. great analysis. come back soon. rising home heating costs slamming midterm races too. democrats white house, not selling you nasty secrets what it is really like owning an expensive car they demand you buy. energy reporter kevin kelo has
