ballot box. let as look at the markets today. it was a bit of a mixed session. we saw the dow jones finish up two points. s&p down 28. nasdaq down 228. tech earnings troubling this market. meta reporting after the bell as well, missing on the estimates expected by wall street. so you can see the stock is trading down 5 1/2% as we speak. so these markets continue with the volatility and we will continue to cover them for you and we will, okay, after hours board down 20%. so closed lower on the day, continues to slide. as i said we'll continue to follow the markets for you. we'll see you back here tomorrow. that does it for us on "fox business tonight."

"the evening edit" starts right now. elizabeth: thanks for joining us. weak tech earnings from google and microsoft. facebook reported weak earning. this is all driving recession fears, the downturn going deeper. already this earnings season what is happening, 2/3 of s&p 500 companies now warn about inflation. plus elon musk he tweets out a

video of him at twitter headquarters as musk is set to take over twitter. fox news's bryan llenas in hair businessburg, pennsylvania with more what happened with last night's eye-opening debate between john fetterman and dr. oz. buy bryan, good to see you. reporter: one of those moments everyone is talking about last night's debate when john fetterman was pressed about his evolving stance on fracking there is more questions on fetterman's health as he continues to discover from a stroke in may. amid halting muddling responses he refused to release his medical records. >> follow up, i heard you say you wouldn't release full medical records. why not? you have 30 second. >> my doctor believes i'm fit toing serving and that is what i believe where i'm standing. reporter: dr. oz had an event in harrisburg, pennsylvania, he said last night's debate the focus was him trying to bring balance to washington, d.c. liz?

elizabeth: bryan llenas, we'll take you so much. we'll get to that sound bite from mr. fetterman later in the show about fracking. joining us congressman general van drew from house homeland security and "the hill" media columnist joe concha. so good to have you on. we have news coming into the studio for both of you and the viewer, two polls move within the race, have them within the race margin of error for dr. oz against fetterman and lee zeldin against kathy hochul. now 3538 -- 538 has the senate a tossup in the midterms. what do you say to all this. >> lee zeldin is going to win. dr. oz is going to win. the numbers will get greater. a lot of people don't answer polls especially on the republican side. we know that is statistically true. it is going to get bigger and better. the truth is coming out everywhere all at once. you know real quickly i can't believe that they had fetterman

actually do the debate. they should have done with fetterman as much as they possibly could pretty much what they did with joe biden. put him in a cellar somewhere, get him comfortable, out of the public's way. he is stronger when you don't see him, hear him, don't know anything about it. elizabeth: now voter can see what is going on. what the congressman is saying, joe, it was fetterman's only debate with dr. oz. he was given closed captioned scrolling on monitors. his campaign tried to complain about that. that is already debunked. after the stroke he suffered through joe, i want your reaction to this. watch this. >> what qualifies you to be a u.s. senator? you have 60 seconds. >> hi, good night, everybody. >> let's take crime as an example. it is such a big problem, john fetterman during the crime wave has been trying to get as many murders convicted sentenced to life in prison out of jail as possible. >> i do not believe supporting the supreme court. >> you said you have not paid

your taxes and that you want to raise taxes on americans. how do you respond? >> absolutely the oz rule of course he is lying. it was helping two students, 17 years ago to help them buy their own homes. here is what i think we have to fight about inflation here right now. >> for anyone coming into this totally undecided if you drop a voter into harrisburg with no engagement beforehand it is hard to see them coming away terribly, terribly convinced by fetterman. elizabeth: that was a former biden official. joe, your reaction? >> if this were a republican if john fetterman were a republican, there would be howls from traditional media saying he needs to drop out of the race or at least he should been replaced the minute the news came out that he had a massive stroke which clearly even six months later he has not fully recovered from and not even close but let's put aside fetterman's health for a second, emac. on policy, was there one lucid response from the democrat on tackling inflation, energy independence, gas prices,

illegal immigration, crime or education? even if you give him the benefit of the doubt as far as there will be words are muddled or doesn't quite have the correct articulation of his thought process i still heard nothing that solves the myriad of problems hitting pennsylvania right now especially in crime and philadelphia because, in 2021, philadelphia set an all-time record as far as murders. they have already eclipsed that this year. we have two months to go. this man wants to let out 1/3 of the prison population? forget about the health stuff. on policy, i can't see how a purple state elects john fetterman. elizabeth: what joe is saying the fbi overall says violent crime nationwide is up nearly 6% for the pandemic. wawa is closed nine of its stores at night in the philadelphia area. listen to what john fetterman said about releasing from prison felons including murderers. watch this. >> i was on a panel with

secretary wetzel earlier before the pandemic hit and he said something remarkable i agree with. he said we could reduce our prison population by a third and not make anyone less safe. hoping it can lead to a conversation that would free close to 1200 people. >> what happens if one of them gets out and does something horrible? >> there is always that possibility. >> john do you agree with democrat larry krasner progressive crime policies are working? >> larry krasner and his program that he thinks is working it's not working. we don't want it anymore. elizabeth: congressman, convicted murderer. >> mere harris, freed by philly d.a. larry krasner funded by soros nonprofits, eight years in prison back in custody, allege he had murdered again. christmas parade attacker 40-year-old darrell brooks down guilty on all 76 counts of intentional homicide. he drove his car into christmas

parade watchers in washing shaw. what do you think about him releasing prisoners and felons? >> what he said is remarkably stupid, remarkably dangerous, and remarkably awful for the american public. we have got to go back to stop and frisk. we have to go back to make sure that people that have priors are kept in jail, three times and you're out. we are a nation of the rule of law. but we are doing to our people and our country is so cruel and so wrong it has to stop and certainly shows you know, forget about a stroke. you just shouldn't vote for this guy because he has bad policies. elizabeth: got it. we have to move on, lee zeldin, cath thick hochul, watch what happened, watch democrat representative sean maloney he is dismissing voters upset about crime. maloney is chair of the house democrat campaign arm. watch this. >> this governor who still to this moment, halfway through the debate, she still hasn't talked about locking up anyone

committing any crimes. >> okay. >> anyone who commits a crime under our laws especially with the change we made to bail has consequences. i don't know why that is so important to you. all i know is that we could do more. >> i say -- >> excuse me i'm speaking. >> unfortunately kathy hochul believes crimes being committed are crimes with guns. you have people afraid of being pushed in front of on coming subway cars, on streets being beat with hammers. talk to the asian-american community impacted them with loss of lives. jewish people with violent anti-semitism on our seats. >> could we see democrats in trouble in new york of all places? >> other side is acting like angry people and they're lashing out. elizabeth: angry people because crime is up double digits, joe. "the cook report" moved maloney's race to a tossup. what is kathy hochul claiming no karn bail is reform. they're letting out alleged

murderers around people committing alleged homicide? >> yeah. emac, remember when terry mcauliffe during the debate with glenn youngkin virginia's governor's race, parents don't have a say in kid's education. that was a line that killed his campaign. contact think hochul asked last night why is it so important to have criminals behind bars. it may be something she does not recover from. bottom line, murders are up 25-year high in new york city. homicides are up. people are afraid. paying more money to live in new york or leaving in a mass exodus as lee zeldin pointed out last night. deep blue state like new york no, it's a big, big problem for even democrats now. elizabeth: guys, where is the hair on fire moment for democrats? people are being murdered. >> yeah. elizabeth: what is more of a civil rights violation, congressman than letting accused an convicted murderer out of prison early on parole who goes on to kill again? democrats are bilge about civil right an social justice. where is the social justice and civil rights of that? >> there is no justice there.

it's awful obviously. i honestly don't know where they find these people to run, these democrats. they are so far away from the norm, i don't know if they have any compassion or feeling or what they want to happen to the country but they're destroying it. elizabeth: that's it. it is abnormal. final word, joe. we cannot normalize abnormal. >> we cannot value the lives of criminals and their rights over the rights of citizens who obey the law. this is all about power, emac, holding on to it and nothing more. elizabeth: that's right. congressman van drew, joe concha, a pleasure having you on tonight. >> always. elizabeth: next, new significant gap by president biden, nancy pelosi and democrats trying to downplay inflation. critics warn voters need detox from not just, well from bad d.c. policies and also messaging. plus, president biden advisors now admitting draining u.s. diesel supply could cripple the u.s. economy before the

holidays? could truckers face shortages? this breaking news that railroad strike could be back on. energy pros jay young, nick loris next on "the evening edit." ♪. people remember ads with young people having a good time. so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's a pool party. ♪ good times. insurance! ♪ only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ your record label is taking off. but so is your sound engineer. you need to hire.

lows not seen in more than a generation. that spells higher inflation and potential trouble for the holidays. and this breaking news, that railroad strike could be back on. a labor union representing 6,000 railroad signal workers votes down a labor deal that the white house has been working on. edward lawrence is at the white house with more. edward? reporter: liz, as we head into the winter there could be a new crisis brewing. the energy information administration says there are 25 days left of reserves in the diesel fuel reserve, lowest level since 2008. the white house economic advisor brian deece says this is unacceptably low level. in someplaces in the northeast they have to ration fuel oil to heat homes to make sure there is enough for everyone. in the face of the next possible crisis the president wants to talk about how hopes to get surprise fees removed from bills. president biden: benefit big corporations, not consumers, not working families. that changes now. we have been working this for a

while. i know it has been a tough few years. reporter: head of goldman sachs says if there needs to be a pivot in leadership in this changing world. >> we have a significant recession in the u.s. or elsewhere in the world we will work through that but as we work through and we think about where we are different kinds of decisions have to be made to get different results when you look five to 10 years forward. reporter: there is no change by this president a steady push forward believing his policies will eventually work. liz. elizabeth: edward lawrence thank you so much, joining us now energy experts jay young and nick loris. first to you, nick, looks like the white house looking two weeks ahead, biden draining u.s. diesel reserves 25 days left. brian deece, says, oh, this is a problem? how could they not see this is problem? inflation could go up even more before the holidays, right? because prices get passed down. >> oh, absolutely, if you look at everything that drives our supply chains it is trucking.

in fact more than 70% of our freight moves by trucking which relies on diesel and more than 75% of our agricultural equipment runs on diesel. so if you add those things up, the supplies are short, demand is still very strong. the costs are higher for consumers. for those looking for any type of relief from inflation it doesn't look like it is coming anytime soon. elizabeth: to what do you say, jay? biden drained the strategic reserves more than every president since nixon combined. could truckers face diesel shortages? is this biden's version of drain and pray? what do you say? >> i don't think this is, i think this is just a ploy. this is a political, you know, i'm calling it a ponzi scheme, somewhat of a sitting, we're going to, musical chairs. it is putting a lot of oil in the market with strategic reserves we don't have. all of sudden after the election, we're going to be looking for oil in the united states because our demand will

be strong. we're not going to have it. we're going to be in a huge, have a huge problem coming up right after the elections. elizabeth: reports that saudi crown prince mohammed bin saloman in private is making fun of the president. the saudi energy minister made a veiled threat, nick, saying quote, we got to make it clear, losing emergency stock may become quote, painful in months to come. watch democrat senate candidate fetterman flip-flop on fracking. watch this. >> i do want to clarify something, you're saying tonight that you support fracking but you always support fracking but there is the 2018 interview you said i don't support fracking at all so how do you square the two? >> oh, i, i do support fracking and, i don't, i don't, i support fracking and i stand and i do support fracking. i don't support fracking at all. i never have.

there is no such thing as a green fracker. elizabeth: so he is on tape. he never supported fracking, nick. by the way, former president trump is on the move. his super-pac, trump's super-pac is launching new adds in arizona, nevada, pennsylvania and georgia, despite all the probes trump is on the move. nick what do you say to all of this? >> well i support any action to increase energy supplies and the more we can increase oil and gas production rather than countries who are hostile to the united states who produce energy dirtier than the united states is problematic. we need more energy supplies here at home. it's a green solution. the result of our fracking revolution in the united states has helped reduced co2 emissions more than most countries combined. the more we export liquified natural gas, display dirtier russian gas. this is a win-win. this is good for the economy. it is good for families and businesses. it lowers prices, it is good for

the planet. elizabeth: what do you say, jay, final word? >> i agree but i'm in a conference in dallas. hard energy conference. they all talked about not coming back like we normally would, when prices are this high, so they're not coming back to drilling, public companies are not coming back. federal government, state government, institutions, private or public companies are not coming back. we're going to have a huge problem in the united states because we need to go back to drill, baby, drill. elizabeth: they undercut it. jay young, nick loris. you will be back with us. good to see you. thanks for joining us. president biden and dr. fauci again confused on the pandemic. major new study shows massive learning loss for schoolchildren because of school shutdowns. 30 year lows in test scores. teachers union officials are trying to claim shutdowns are okay. schoolchildren are learning resilience? a new significant gaffe by president biden, nancy pelosi and democrats in trying to downplay inflation. we'll break it down next with

economic pro steve moore on "the evening edit." >> he comes in with doggie doo on his shoes, everybody who works with him has that on their shoes. [ marcia ] my dental health was not good. i had periodontal disease, and i just didn't feel well. but then i found clearchoice. [ forde ] replacing marcia's teeth with dental implants at clearchoice was going to afford her that permanent solution.

[ marcia ] clearchoice dental implants gave me the ability to take on the world. i feel so much better, and i think that that is the key. i've never been healthier. shingles doesn't care. but shingrix protects. proven over 90% effective, shingrix is a vaccine used to prevent shingles in adults 50 years and older. shingrix does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients or to a previous dose. an increased risk of guillain-barré syndrome was observed after getting shingrix. fainting can also happen. the most common side effects are pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, tiredness, headache, shivering, fever, and upset stomach. ask your doctor or pharmacist about shingrix today.

elizabeth: welcome to the show, economist steve moore. steve, companies like whirlpool, good to see you. whirlpool, p&g, 2/3 of s&p 500, they increasingly warn inflation is eating alive consumer

spending power. consumers power the u.s. economy. it is like americans need a detox from bad d.c. policies and their mess -- messaging. this democrats were honest they should run on this, tell the truth about what their policies create. what do you think, steve? >> oh, look, i couldn't agree more with you. you know the problem with this inflation is that it lingers. we've now had as you know, liz, seven to eight straight months of 8% plus inflation. it knit alleviating. we may see a minor, minor improvement in the inflation rate in numbers that come out in november, but it is systemic right now and the biden administration doesn't really have any solution to this and it also eats into real profits of companies, one of the reasons the stock market over the last year has been so negative. elizabeth: democrats have been in a cage fight with the truth

about inflation. their new botched narrative is this, that u.s. inflation, just deal with it. it is worse overseas, you know. it is bad overseas too. u.s. inflation ranks at the bottom, the 14th worst in the world's top economies, 12th worse in the g20. worse than china, canada, india. is this really winning messaging? >> no, it's not. obviously, you know the fact is, first of all you're right, so many companies like japan, that have lower inflation rates than we do, so it isn't even true but to some extent you know the united states is the hub of the world economy. every other country is a spoke. and a lot of countries are either directly or indirectly attached to the dollar. so when the dollar inflates, liz, every country in the world inflates because they're all either directly or indirectly connected to -- so in other words if we bring our inflation rate down, not only would it

help out the situation in america it would help the situation all over the world. elizabeth: yeah, but doesn't the democrats new line, their new narrative, that the ecb has been euro printing too? and the eu has been doing massive government spending and debt fueled spending where you know, their government debt is now approaching 100% of their gdp just like here in the u.s.? people don't live in the uk or europe. american drivers could care less what french drivers pay as they face five dollar gas here, steve. >> that is exactly right. god forbid we should turn out like britain which also had massive spending and lockdowns during covid and they are paying -- i had a friend who texted me the other day in london, they're paying almost $10 a gallon. you're exactly right about this, the way i like to put it, liz, the new virus that is so deadly for the whole world right now is out of control government spending and debt. so if you look at all of the,

oecd countries in the last three years, are you ready for this, liz? they borrowed $20 trillion. $20 trillion. it is not surprise that you have inflation all over the world. elizabeth: let's talk about that because inflation, all right, inflation is like 1000% in venezuela? we should tell people in venezuela you know, inflation is just a global thing, not maduro's fault. they are great guys over there printing trillions of bolivars? >> as i said, when you have got governments that are out of control and unfortunately, liz, i hate to say this, but that includes our own government here in america, that are basically printing these massive amounts of money through government spending, you're going to have a world inflation crisis. it is very much, liz, you and i are i think old enough to remember the '70s when we had the same kind of cycle, the inflation problem wasn't just in

the united states it was all over the world that didn't do jimmy carter much. elizabeth: i don't remember the '70s. just the hucapoo shirts just kidding. what is the gop plan to fight inflation? >> cut spending. i'm talking to republican leaders. the number one thing we have to do, this is really important, the investor class, the people you are talking to every day, they are hyper-focus what the fed will do. my line the fed can't do this on its own. what the fed solution is continue to raise interest rates until they drive the economy down and drive demand down. i don't want that solution. i want to see cutting government spending, so in other words if somebody has to take a hit it should be reduction in government spending, not what you and i and other americans spend. elizabeth: got it. listen to the democrats on inflation and their new narrative. watch this. >> when i hear people talk about inflation as i heard in there, we have to change that subject.

inflation is a global phenomenon. >> yes. >> the eu, european union, the you know, the british have higher inflation than we do here. it's not the, the fight is not about inflation. it is about the cost of living. >> when we talk about inflation republicans will say, well this is joe biden's fault. really? our inflation rate is much too high. it is 8%. it is 10% in the uk. 10% throughout europe. 7% in canada. inflation is a global problem. >> these issues of inflation are global, absolutely global in nature. eu inflation is running 10%. elizabeth: show it again. show where the u.s. ranks. the u.s. ranks among worst in inflation. democrat messaging, we're not sure what nancy pelosi is talking about, suck it up, deal with it. she is saying it's you know we have to change the subject on that, steve? your final word? >> democrats would love the

change the subject. they're just not having a very good time of it because the fact is what americans say in every poll and new fox poll shows this as you know, people are really, mostly concerned about the price they pay for everything that they have, because it is straining it is what you call a kitchen table issue that affects everyone. ending with one last statistic if i may, liz, none of those democrats, not nancy pelosi or bernie sanders mentioned. the inflation rate when donald trump left office was 1.5%. elizabeth: yeah. that's right. steve moore, good to see you. you will be back on. we're coming out of the bottom of the hour. we're watching the fox business network. on the off chance you may be in england this november, be sure to catch the production of my play, in kings lynn, november 9th based on my book skirting heresy. the what was going on in catholic england before joan ever arc was executed. it will be fun stuff. we did it in 2018.

we're doing it again. a new hunter biden controversy roils the white house. gop senators chuck grassley, ron johnson ramp it up, president biden, dr. fauci again confused on the pandemic. a new study confirms massive learning loss for schoolchildren but teacher union officials claim school shutdowns are okay. schoolchildren learned relittle relittle -- resilience. dr. marty makary next on "the evening edit"

then i got the dexcom g6. i just glance at my phone, and there's my glucose number. wow. my a1c has dropped over 2 points to 7.2. that's a huge victory. vo: it's a new day. because covid vaccines just got a big update. just in time for everyone who works. with other people. just in time for... ...more togetherness. just in time to say “oh, you bet we'll be there!”

because the updated vaccines can now protect against both the original covid virus and omicron. and that's a moment... we've all been waiting for.

>> welcome back, new york's top court ruled all new york workers fired over covid vaccine mandates must be reinstated with back pay. the judge ruled there were multiple constitutional rights that were violated. madison alworth has more. madison. reporter: elizabeth, the new york supreme court ruled that new york city cannot fire sanitation workers that refuse to get the covid-19 vaccine. this ruling opening up the doors for all new york city public

sector workers that refused those vaccine mandates. but the case is not over. the case is now being appealed and goes to the appellate court. meantime, sanitation workers and other front line workers like teachers are still without their jobs and feel dejected by the process. >> i don't know what i'm going to do. because i loved my students. i loved my job. i was good at it. and i can't really foresee myself working for a city again that can do this to me again. >> gubernatorial candidates governor kathy hochul and lee zeldin had very different reactions what should be done for vaccine mandates for public sector workers during last night's debate. if the sanitation worker decision stands in higher court, those employees would not only get their jobs back but also get back pay. in staten island, new york, i'm madison all worst, fox business. elizabeth: great job, madison alworth. joining us dr. marty makary, great to see you again, sir. the teachers union, they forced long school shutdowns. they now claim student learning

loss is no big dealing. l.a. union boss cruz claims it is okay they learned resilience. the chicago teachers union official calls the learning loss, a contrived notion. the head of nea doesn't even use the term learning loss. this is happening this new messaging. >> 2000 additional suicides last year. we've seen record substance abuse rates. we've seen catastrophic learning loss, worse in kids who come from minority communities and poor communities. i think quite frankly, some of these folks like the teachers union director in los angeles is just out of touch with what is happening on the ground. in baltimore where i practice medicine students never logged on to the virtual learning and never showed up again. we have a duty to rescue those kids. elizabeth: there was shocking amount of bullying. there was shocking amount of treating americans like sheep. they were supposed to follow in line not ask questions about anything. the president claims vaccine mandates should be up to local

towns? watch him say you only need one covid shot a year? watch this. president biden: that's a local judgment. if you're fully vaccinated get one more covid shot, once a year. that's it. elizabeth: fifth covid shot. his fifth covid shot on camera. he has been fighting for vaccine mandates in court for months now. your take on this? >> well i think you're going to see a lot of politicians and public health officials especially come election season change their tune and make it sound like they were never for lockdowns, they were never for school shutdowns, they were never for vaccine mandates. they spin it in local authorities and individuals should make their own decisions, that is really not what we had. what we had was a mandate that resulted in pilots and supply chain problems and shortages and exodus from public schools by teachers and then students and, nursing staffing crisis in hospitals, still from those vaccine mandates.

i do hope the court does get back pay. that will be a good precedent for those who were fired. elizabeth: we remember during the pandemic should shutdowns, you were on cam are in us. we were only one one of the shon the nation to do lockdowns and how they were wrong and what they did during the pandemic was and rampant inflation directly tied to pandemic shutdowns and five trillion in government spending since 2019 but watch dr. fauci again saying things like this, watch. >> was it a mistake in some states and so many localities to see schools closed as long as they were? >> i had nothing to do with -- let's get down to the facts. i didn't shut down anything. i recommended to the president that we shut the country down. 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: okay. so that is dr. fauci flip-flopping, doctor. now we've got pediatric hospital wards filling up with other viruses like sensational rino, not just covid. you slam health workers not being vaccinated when we need first-responders right now. >> we're paying a heavy price in two terms. one dramatic isolation of kids, not just kids, mothers of young children didn't pass on anti-bodies. we're seeing a lot of kids in the hospital right now as a result of that isolation. elizabeth: dr. marty makary, we'll have you back on soon. thank you so much. >> thanks. elizabeth: this new fight, school board parents are growing outraged nationwide. we got another claim after school barred parent saying he

was targeted after red flagging toxic content for schoolkids. a new hunter biden controversy roiling the white house. senators grassley and ron johnson they're wrapping it up. "new york post"'s jon levine
