and an "evening edit" exclusive, florida officials taking legal action against human traffickers. how criminals are taking advantage of biden's open border policies. i'm david asman. in for elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. david: first up taking a look at your markets with the dow up over 300 and tech stocks roaring ahead with a 2 1/2% gain. the investors are hoping the fed will slow down on rate hikes. now to the midterms, in the latest edition of the fox knew power ranking the are making a shift to the republicans in their favor as crime and the economy are playing larger and large factors in voters decision making. fox news alexandria hoff in washington, d.c. with the very latest on this.

alexandria. reporter: at the moment democrats have a small pathway holding on to the house but that is it getting smaller. fox news power rankings, the best-case scenario for democrats two-seat majority. for republicans superb night would be commanding 32 seats on top. forecast predictions that republicans take a 16 seat majority. that is up one seat from last week. we have four northeastern shifts in favor of republicans. three of them in districts in new york. a lot of factors at play there but also this is seen as potential trickle-down effect of the tightening gubernatorial contest. that race between governor kathy hochul moved from a solid d to a likely d. a republican challenger lee zeldin made strides when it comes to crime, the top issue in the state to voters. no change on the senate front. all eyes remain on tossup states of pennsylvania, arizona, nevada and georgia. still anyone's game.

david. david: alexandria hoff, thank you very much. with 14 days to the midterm elections voters are watching as major debates are taking place tonight in new york, pennsylvania, and michigan. to break it down american her tank executive director jessica anderson and gop strategist ford o'connell. thanks for being here. two weeks. can you believe it, it is finally happening or closer to happening. ford, let me go to you first and read something from "the new york times." i don't usually read "the new york times" but there was an interview with nancy pelosi today which she said i cannot believe anybody would vote for these people, referring to republicans. endless lying an endless money. this from a multimillionaire who said a lot of things that are questionable recently, right? >> that is exactly right, david. speaker pelosi is dell usingal. she has been lying to the american people. voters are panicked about biden's abysmal economy.

they know winter is coming. sprinkle in democrat absurd positions on crime, border security, what is being taught in schools, i tell you david, the house has already upon to republicans, the only question how close to 240 seats do they come. david: some democrats like charlie crist in florida admitting there is inflation problem in the united states. extraordinarily they're admitting wait until you hear who he blames for it. let me roll tape, get your reaction. that is sot 2. >> affordability is in a crisis in florida. housing is unaffordable in the sunshine state. good luck renting an apartment. the price of gas is incredibly expensive and utility rates have gone through the roof because desantis administration has taken their eye off the ball. david: so it's ron desantis, who knew, jessica? >> oh, my goodness, charlie crist is throwing anything against the wall to have something to stick, something to talk about, but the truth is

florida voters know better. they know governor desantis is the one that kept the state open, that kept workers working, allowed jobs to come back after the biden administration intentionally tanked the economy. so charlie crist is honestly he is grasping at straws here. voters are going to bring in a big wave for governor desantis, really reward him for everything he did to keep the florida economy open and by the way attract so many brand new florida residents that will be first-time voters november 8th, hopefully for governor desantis. david: 300,000 people are moving to florida every year. it has been that way, actually even with his predecessor. it is extraordinary. i don't know if the state can hold many more. ford, there is a sense of desperation among a lot of democrats. i think what led crist to admit with inflation, blame it on ron desantis, even inflation out on

the west coast that is extraordinary. there was violence against a canvasser for senator rubio in florida. i hate to suggest this is spreading but it needs, we need to keep a close eye on that stuff. >> david, you're absolutely right. as a floridian i will say this, governor desantis is america's governor. what he showed charlie crist best illustrates the nutshell problem democrats have. they're focused on late-term abortions, transgender surgery for minors when you have inflation at 40-year high, when you have crime. what they do besides messaging division and hate, they go out and preach violence and then blame it on republicans. if you look back over the years, look back to the summer of love, always democrats turning the cheek the other way when it comes to political violence. david: but jessica, i hope in this instance that some of that violence is behind us. we did see that awful case of the assassin haunting one of the supreme court justices.

some people say that the violent rhetoric from democrats like schumer had at least part to do with that. i see some of that dialed back by democrats, am i wrong? >> well, i don't think democrats are dialing back or doing anything to stop people from being violent on the streets. i mean the fact that you have a canvasser that is simply going door-to-door to talk about the issues that voters care about, being attacked in his marco rubio shirt, in his ron desantis hat, whether there was political hatred there or not, doesn't discount the gruesome images. this sort of violence is exactly what democrats led to spread, allowed to spread with the soft-on-crime policies, with the defund the police movement. i think this will be a huge topic on the debate tonight with dr. oz and fetterman in pennsylvania. certainly as you mentioned top of mind for voters in new york for the gubernatorial race as well. david: the interesting thing about the new york race, ford, now that you have governor

hochul coming out with all these commercials how she will be tough on crime when she was the one who was applauding the no bail law just a couple months ago. now it is like she is turning 180 degrees. i can't imagine the voters forgetting that she was one of the biggest supporters of the policies that led to the increase in crime? >> she is definitely hoping that new york voters will forget about her soft-on-crime policies, and what lee zeldin is doing in new york is absolutely amazing. he is focused on crime, he focused on inflation and the abysmal economy. this is cobalt blue state. this is important not just because jessica and i would prefer a republican to preside over the empire state, if lee zeldin is able to get over the line and republicans could pick up three or four house states could put patrick maloney in new york 17. that would be first time a house

campaign chief lost in a general election since 1980. this is historic. david: it would be historic. look at rankings we had. gop has advantage of 233 seats. that is according to our rankings that we're doing here at fox. you only need 218 for a majority. so 233 would be way above what is needed for a majority. are you pretty confident, jessica, that republicans will keep that lead going into the elections? >> my sense is republicans are going to keep this lead over the next 15 days because the american people are fired up. i travel coast to coast for my work here at heritage action, with the sentinel action fund, i got to tell you every single voter we talked to wants to see a change. they don't like the direction the biden administration has gone. they are soft on crime. they have no plan for inflation, no plan to turn around the indoctrination in our schools. they are not empowering parents. all of these issues are at the

ballot box. it is not just one issue. i think that will come down to it for the house seats that will flip. 20, 25 seats. then also pickup opportunities for the gop and senate. we could look at senate majority at 52. david: jessica anderson, ford o'connell, thank you very much. thanks for coming in appreciate it. >> thanks, david. david: police shortages across the nation plaguing u.s. cities amid a crime wave. american safety remain the top concern at the ballot box. the white house denial of soaring inflation. a new warning one of the major factors contributing to the slowing of our economy and inflation is the lack of productist in the workforce. former cke restaurant ceo andy puzder is next on "the evening edit." >> we went from stable prices to record inflation. you can feel the changes. people get it. they know democrats are responsible for this mess. ♪.

today, you have 11 million open jobs. you have seven million able-bodied men sitting it out. david: the great mike rowe talking about one of the major factors contributing to the stagflation now cribbing our economy, lack of productivity in the workforce. non-farm productivity contracted at a 4.1% al al annualized rate in fourth quarter, biggest year on year decline since the government started tracking back in 1948. we're producing less, even means more inflation. that means we're losing our competitive edge as a nation. how do we get back on track? from the heritage foundation, former cke restaurant andy puzder. i know you're in touch with the old franchisees and workforce, how it may have changed during the pandemic. what are they telling you? >> a lot of the franchisees

started out sweeping floors or cleaning off tables in a restaurant, working their way up. what they're telling me, the new, the people they have been seeing, the young people since the pandemic ended have not been the same kind of workers you saw before the pandemic. they don't want to work 35, 40 hour week. they don't want to work weekends. they don't want to work nights. if they think they have to do those things, they quit. they don't show up for the job which is unfortunate because these restaurants serve as really america's training ground for workers who cannot afford to go to college or decide not to go to college and they're missing out on the opportunities. david: obviously some of that came about because of the lockdowns and the government handouts during the lockdowns. that of course, biden has been criticized that of course continued long after the lockdowns ended and we just kept with that process of paying people to stay at home. is it something that we're stuck with now? or could something like a real

deep recession shake people out of that? >> yeah, real deep recession is going to make it so a lot of people are going to have to get back to work. when that happens, when people start returning to the labor force, when we don't have 11 million job openings and only about four million people looking for work, that situation is going to change. that is when employees will start competing with jobs. right now you have a situation where employers are competing for employees but when employees start competing for those jobs, you're going to see a big difference in performance, i assume productivity. david: how long do you think that transition would take place any honestly, i don't think you have to have a deep recession in order to turn the economy around. i think the right incentives could do it but we're stuck with an administration that doesn't want to give the private sector those incentives? >> right. if we could, as you know, inflation is a result of demand

exceeding supply and if this administration could somehow adopt some supply-side econmics so the supply increase to meet demand, then we really wouldn't have to go through a recession. we wouldn't have to suffer the pain of trying to decrease demand because that demand comes from working in middle class americans and they're the ones who suffer when you drive it down but this administration doesn't seem to be able to do that so it's going to be at least another two years before we see the kind of policies we need to get out of this. david: that is extraordinary. is there nothing a republican congress can do to get those incentives back in the economy? >> i think the republican party can do a number of things. first of all they can stop the ridiculous spending driving demand. they can put an end to additional spending. they can use the budgeting process to cut back on some programs. they can at least stop things from going in a negative direction, which is where they're going now. what i'm hoping is, they can

take actions with respect to energy. that is a big part of this and we need to get american oil producers, producing once again. david: yeah. you can't pump an economy without oil or gas. andy puzder, thank you very much for being here. appreciate it. the world's top banking executives laying groundwork for deals in davos in the desert it is called at a time when the relationship between the u.s. and saudi government is strained to say the very least. plus police shortages all over the nation plaguing u.s. cities amid a say lent crime crisis. americas safety remaining a top concern at the ballot box. fraternal order of police national vice president joe gamaldi joining us next on "the evening edit." >> violent criminals, murderers, thieves, literally everyone we should be afraid of and should be in prison we're letting them out immediately.

illinois. in chicago alone they're down 83%. the idiocy of this is staggering. you have crime and disorder everywhere. you don't have enough police officers. you can't hire more. and you want to make it easier for the criminals? david: right. >> this goes to show you those elected officials they don't give a damn about the people in their communities. it is ideology over everything. david: they check every box. we have a short list what is in this. by the way, 764-page bill. it was approved in only seven hours with no formal hearings. there were no formal debates. no representatives from the police and law enforcement. it ends cash bail. it limits how defendants are considered flight risk. there is no charge if the defendant is under electronic monitoring leaves home for up to 48 hours. this one i love, don't have it on the list. trespassing is downgraded from a class a misdemeanor, to a class b. so police won't be able to remove, physically remove

somebody who decides they want to move into your apartment or your house? >> that is completely insane, david. it just goes to show you that they're literally telling victims, we don't care about you. we care more about criminals. the world has gone completely upside down. imagine someone comes into your house, you call the police, you find out the person is out before the paperwork is done? people are getting arrested over and over again. in new york, alone, 43 made up 1400 arrests for the year. this is the time of things when you promote legislation like this. we have to get things under control. i tell people heading to the ballot box for the midterms, you need to vote for people that want law and order. otherwise we continue to see more crap like this. david: i mentioned a democratic governor and legislature voted for this and signed it into law but you know, there is a group out there called the third way, a democratic think tank. they came out with the thing

called the red state murder problem. they say actually it is red states, states that voted for strum in the last election have the worst crime rates. what they tell you cities in those states, st. louis voted for trump, the murder rates st. louis and kansas city. st. louis has the highest murder rate 65 per one hundred thousand. louisiana voted for trump but democratic cities like bat ron rouge, new orleans which are very dangerous. tennessee, trump state, memphis has terrible murder rate. alabama, democrat run birmingham it is policies in democratic cities causing a huge uptick in crime? >> you know i do have to give them credit because the level of gaslighting and bs with this study is remarkable. they're actually trying to convince the american people that republicans are trying to

blame for the massive increase in murders. when we look at it the top 15 cities that are leading this country in murders, accounting for 4,000 murders are locally controlled by democrats and local d.a.s that are democrats. goes to show you, they are who to blame for all these issues. they need to be held accountable. they need to be voted out. david: the people that need to be praised are the cops doing the defending because in this environment being a cop, signing on the dotted line, signing your employment form is a act of heroism. pass my thanks to all the police you represent. joe, great to see you again. thank you for being here. texas senator ted cruz heckledded by climate protesters during his appearance on "the view." what role is the media really playing in our elections? world's top bank executives laying the groundwork for deals at a davos in the desert meeting at a time when the relationship between the u.s. and saudis is

the domestic production of oil and gas. david: you know when we were energy independent during the trump administration we were driving world prices. any oil analyst will tell you that. it was the u.s. that was actually driving world prices. now we are subservient to the whims of opec plus russia. how do we get back in the driver's seat? >> yeah, biden is begging them to pump more oil because he knows it's a political issue. we get in the driver's seat by doing away with all the executive orders biden has done. trump's policy of america first energy independence, what we should be focused on. if we win the midterms we'll do what we can from congressional perspective of domestic production of oil and gas. that is driving underlying inflationary costs. that what goes to the grocery stores, walmart and all the other stores are using diesel and that is having compounding

effect on inflationary costs. we should be dependent on oil and gas not just for prices but for safety and security. david: i'm intrigued but what can congress do to override decisions made on the executive level by the president? >> there is a whole host of things in our commitment to america as it relates to energy policy. i encourage your viewers to go look at all the things we're going to do if the american people give us the gavel's back. we will change on energy. make us energy independent. there is a hot of things we can do from the legal perspective to rein in the erroneous executive orders the biden administration has done. then pass bills to promote production of oil and gas. lower regulations on the oil and gas industry. opening up reserves to allow for drilling on federal landed. all we can do if we get the gavels become. david: i want to make a quick switch to the politicalization of doj and department of justice

♪. david: so some elections are influenced by the media highlighting or just ignoring key facts and issues that could sway voters. 2020 was certainly one of those elections by essentially what they deleted or censored but other elections voters clearly ignore the opinions of the media. the media trend-setters anyway. they make up their own minds. the election of ronald reagan was one of those. the 2010 midterm elections brought out the so-called tea party, which countered the liberal media's bias. the question whether this year's midterms will be the same. welcome to the show fox news contributor jason chaffetz, media research center founder and president brent bozell. good to see you both. i want to talk first about this issue, jason, whether this will be one of those elections where the public says, no, we don't buy it. we don't buy the fact that inflation is not a problem, that crime is not a problem, that border is not a problem. we'll go with people that say they will fix it.

what do you think? >> yeah, i think people tend to believe their own eyes and when they go to the gas pump, when they walk the streets, it is not safe, when they see what is going on with immigration, all of these issues, the president sits there and says, immigration is not a problem. the border is secure. says crime will be just fine. what we did in the schools, you know, don't worry about that with at lockdowns and certainly with inflation. people understand this. they blow past the media. they know that they're being lied to out of the white house. that is why i think there will be, this will be a watch election. david: but, brent, on the other hand i don't think that the social media companies who said, oh, we made a terrible mistake in 2020 by censoring the hunter biden story, i don't buy their confession, the fact they're going easy. in fact you have evidence that google already has begun another campaign to put their people in congress, right?

>> let's remember that just recently the rnc discovered that google was sending their fund appeal letters to spam, and not doing that with the democrats. now they're finding the same thing is happening apparently with their poll -- policy emails. the rnc goo google on friday this. another way to measure hostility to republicans. google controls 92.4% of search engine worldwide. that virtual monopoly that they have. we look at the top 12 contested campaigns this year. in 10 of the 12 of them google gave democrats higher exposure than republicans, so if you looking at races go right to the democrats, knot to the republicans. in seven of the 12 case google, that says they're objective that they're merely a platform, google put the republicans on page 2 of the searches. now what does that mean?
