jackie: good evening everybody, we have stocks down last day of october. wall street remains cautious ahead of the policy decision wednesday from the federal reserve. pocketbook issues top of minds heading into midterm elections. half of americans say economy and i nation is the most important issue with the vote for congress, according to a new abc news ipsos poll. hillary vaughn with the latest for us. reporter: good evening, jackie, a week until election day and biggest issue on voters minds is their violence. a new abc poll found half of americans say economy and inflation are the single most important issues weighing their vote next tuesday. republicans think that brings midterm momentum for the gop. >> it is death by a thousand

cuts for so many families can't afford rent, groceries, halloween, everything is sew expensive. democrats own it. they have the white house, house, and senate. >> some democrats disagree they are the on the defense. >> some folks i said they're running on it because we have real accomplishments to point to. reporter: democrats say they are finking problems. one of the fixes so-called inflation reduction act not lived up to the name just yet with pce inflation out last week at 6.2% shows inflation is getting worse, not better. president biden said it is the fed's job to get inflation under control but some democrats are warning the fed raising rates could just make things worse. jackie? jackie: hillary vaughn kicking it off for us, thank you. economists warn a deep recession could be on the horizon the white house is passing blame for the nation's economic woes on to

republicans. for reaction, republican congressman byron donalds, and former whit house council of economic advisors acting chairman, tomas philipson. i will start with you, congressman. i will put up a graphic shows where we were when president trump was in office. where we are now as a result of president biden's policies. he essentially says this is not a referendum on him but two-ways looking at the world. two major policy decisions. i look at numbers here, if you look at the blue column things are substantially worse. now republicans are accused by the democrats not having a plan. i think the plan was laid out in the previous administration. all we have to do is go back to some of these policies and maybe we could fix things, congressman. >> oh, that is absolutely correct. first of all the democrats are delusional so is joe biden that is why the country is at a place we are now. number one, the federal reserve

has to be more aggressive about containing inflation, but number two washington has to stop the reckless overspending. a bunch of money been appropriated, not spent all that has to go back to the treasury. if you continue to throw money into the economy from the federal level, it is only going to cause the price of goods to continue to rise. last part, we have to get energy independent again. we have to take our foot off of the boot of the oil companies, of the gas companies. that has been brought to us by joe biden and the democrats. republicans have the answer for what is ailing america. jackie: great points, very interesting to see karine jean-pierre, press secretary of white house, make the rounds, spew out democrat talking points. we'll talk to you on the other side. >> when the president walked into the administration the economy was in absolute ruins. unemployment was 6.4%.

because of president's policies unemployment is 3.5%. historic low, we haven't seen that in 50 years. 10 million jobs have been created and i moved even further by making sure we lower those gas prices right, because of russian, russia, the war that putin has started we saw gas prices go up. now it is down by a buck 25 per gallon since the peak of june. that is because this president took historic actions to make sure that gas prices were coming down. we still have more work to do. that is why inflation reduction is so important. jackie: tomas, that is the spin. i a lot of places i would go there. gas prices up 40% before the boots were on the ground near ukraine. >> that is kind of ridiculous what they're arguing. i don't think anyone believes what they're saying, not even democrats. it was basically a v-shaped recovery after covid and inflation was below the fed policy rate of 2%.

in addition they inherited a vaccine or medical intervention was put on a silver plate which was very important to open up the economy but they basically pursued the opposite policies of the trump administration and therefore proportionally have had the exact opposite results in terms of real incomes going down for families meaning their paychecks are not reaching as far as they used to. that is really what matters. all this stuff about recession is irrelevant. what really matters is real incomes. how much can you buy for your paycheck? that has been a disaster in the last year-and-a-half. jackie: congressman, i want to come back to you and switch away a little bit from the economy but it still sort of flows through everything we're talking about here, right? it is the first issue for most voters. at least what the "abc/ipsos poll" said. that poll said abortion is top of mind for 16% of people. you hear the democrats really hitting the abortion issue hard to try to sway people over to

their side or keep voters on their side. that might be flipping over as a result of what we've seen over the course of the last year-and-a-half. your thoughts on how abortion is going to play in this larger narrative? >> i simply don't think it will play that much at all, not when the cost of food, the cost of electricity, the cost of gas, the cost of every product americans have to use go through the roof. families are choosing whether to pay the light bill or put food on the table. i think abortion will simply not matter. the second point, the democrats are lying to you, america. they are trying to fear-monger and lie. what the dobbs decision put it in the hands of state. it is not a federal issue anymore, it's a state issue. they're lying and fear-mongering. what is not fire mongering the state of this economy is a disaster that is the fault of democrats in the senate, democrats in the house and joe biden himself. jackie: let me ask you this, tomas. we're waiting for the fed. two more meeting this year,

november, december, blackrock, expect to see the fed funds rate at 4.75. that the feds that to continue to put its foot on the gas to try to undo inflation that has become embedded in the economy. the concern is that the pain for americans is going to continue because as the fed raises rates it takes a while to do some of that unwinding. and you know, people are suffering when they go to the grocery store, when they go to the gas pump. they're having a hard time. >> yay. the concern is that the hawkish fed policies is going to basically kick in during the recession. so everyone expects the fed to come up, four 1/2, 5% roughly next year in their top rate but also everyone expects a recession to be there but the, given these lags, so what we're currently seeing in the housing market for example, the housing market is tanking completely. prices are going down. quantity of houses sold is going

down. that is demand effect when you have both price and quantity. obviously from the rates coming up. but you've seen the rates rising the whole year. now you're seeing the effect of that. it's a long lag. jackie: right. >> if the current rates are coming up, it is going to lag into 23424. jackie: i make the point with fed funds three, 3.25 the rate is 7%. if we get four or 5% you can only imagine what the picture looks like when you try to buy a home. congressman donalds, tomas phillipson, great to see you tonight. >> thank you. jackie: former president obama making a last minute campaign effort to rile up the democrat base, all while biden sat on the sidelines of the he was spending time in delaware again. plus the diesel shortage across the east coast reaches crisis mode. supplies are becoming critically low. americans fear the pain at the pump will only get worse heading

♪ >> the u.s. diesel shortage worsens across the country. supplies are low, demand remains high, threatening to fuel already surging inflation. madison alworth at a gas station in budd lake, new jersey, with the latest. reporter: jackie with severe diesel shortages experts warn us more fuel charges as well as more stress on a already battered supply chain. that is because the diesel shortage across the country, and particularly on the east coast is reaches crisis mode. the u.s. is down to a 25-day supply for diesel. that is compared to the normal 35 to 40-day supply. mansfield, one of the largest diesel wholesalers initiated code red for the southeast. that initiates emergency protocols and requires a 72-hour notice for deliveries to insure

they have the fuel. the company tells us it did not have to come to this. >> when you beat the industry up they will close facilities that are not profitable. ultimately we're reaping some of that right now. reporter: over the last two years these refineries were all closed down. now with the ukraine war the east coast needs to export diesel at a time when domestic demand cannot be met. diesel is up to $5.30. depending where you are in the country it could be 30 to 80 cents more than that. take the station behind me as an example. diesel here will cost you 5.9 $5. jackie, it is simple, supply and demand. the supply is the lowest levels since 2008. jackie: it sure is supply and demand, madison alworth, thank you so much. man field saying virginia, georgia, south carolina, tennessee, north carolina expected to experience historic

effects from the low diesel supply. house committee member, member of transportation infrastructure committee, congressman bruce with user westerman, thanks for joining us on this very important issue. business insider, that the biden administration considering hindering military aid to saudi arabia because of production cut. this would be retaliation. biden said there would be consequences. we're in a pretty bad spot because of our domestic policy here at home as a result of tapping the spr under the 50% level and continuing to you know, dig oil out of it. do you think that this is a wise move right now to start with saudi arabia in this way? >> good afternoon, jackie. so good to be with you. no, i don't think it's a good idea. we're sleeping in the bed that joe biden and the democrats made for us and it shouldn't be this way. we're seeing the fed raise interest rates, trying to address the oversupply of money

into the economy but what the administration, and nobody is doing, is addressing the supply side props that we have. the reason that we are short on diesel fuel, i read where it is the lowest amount we've had since the 1950s, is because of and all out attack from domestic energy from joe biden and the democrats. this is what we should expect with these policies. fortunately republicans have ideas how to fix this. i hope the american people give us the majority next week so that we can put our policies into place and give this administration the choice to make. do you want to do what's right for america, do you want too develop our domestic resources or do you want to continue to push bad policies like punishing saudi arabia on the military side for something that is an economic issue? jackie: right. >> this is the wrong way to go. jackie: we wouldn't have to retaliate if we had enough production here at home we wouldn't have a problem. congressman, you understand, i understand as well, that nobody will solve the inflation problem

until we get the energy situation straightened out because diesel is used to transport everything. so as long as the price of diesel fuel stays high, producers of products are not going to be able to reduce their prices and they're going to pass those extra costs on to you, me, and the average consumer out there. >> absolutely. diesel is very important in transportation. it is important in agriculture and construction. if we see the diesel prices go up, shortages with diesel, it affects the whole economy. it is more than just diesel fuel. it is natural gas. it is all the fuels we use to make electricity. it is an all-out attack on domestic it energy production. we're seeing increases to heat our homes, to drive our cars. where it is really hurting the most i'm afraid is at the supermarket because these energy prices get, they permeate all through the food supply chain with natural gas being key ingredients and nitrogen

fertilizer which is the basic input to agriculture. jackie: yeah. >> so these attacks on domestic energy have hurt people on low income or fixed income the most with increased food prices. >> real quick, last week top bank ceos went to saudi arabia to speak at a forum there talking about energy issues. and one of the points that they made you know, essentially this administration has to figure out some sort of common ground and they voiced that rather openly, i was surprised but in the "new york post" charlie gasparino writeses how ceos are trying to fix biden's saudi oil mess because he won't. it is so interesting to me. everybody seems to get it but the president. i have to stand back and think, maybe he does get it, he just doesn't care? >> it makes you wonder. it is not hard to see where the problems are and a shame that our ceos have to go to saudi arabia? why can't we produce energy here? we're blessed with domestic

energy. we could be creating jobs in the united states. keep us wealthy at home instead of exporting to foreign countries and depending on their policies to supply our energy. it is asinine we're going down the route we're going. it can change, i'm ready to get to work on it on the natural resources committee. jackie: congressman bruce westerman, thank you so much. we'll talk to you soon. >> thanks. jackie: top democrat prosecutors in illinois pushing back on i will november governor jb pritzker's bail reform law warning it will detroit the state amid a nationwide crime wave. desperate democrats. former president obama making a last minute campaign effort to rile up the left, while president biden sat on the sidelines in delaware presumably in the basement. former special assistant to president trump mark later on "the evening edit" next. >> they are out of touch with the way the american public believes. the american public want as good economy, low inflation, parental

jackie: president obama looking to organize the democrat over the midterms. republicans are picking up momentum. they're in wisconsin with the latest. reporter: jackie, in all the

candidates both the senate races chris crossing the state making last minute pitches to voters, bringing out names to do. former president barack obama visiting the badger state over the weekend, struggling to connect with young voters? obama made his case for democratic governor tony evers, and candidate mandela barnes. he tried to paint candidate tim michaels and ron johnson as extremists. in trying to court young voters, obama talked a lot about social security implying johnson wants to do away with it. i caught up with senator johnson at a campaign event today. he tells me that line of attack is just not true. >> i want to save social security, medicare. i happen to be one of the few not whistling by the graveyard. i'm concerned about deficit spending sparking inflation. if we don't prioritize spending.

reporter: on top of young voters, recent marquette poll oy en38% considered enthusiastic about the upcoming midterms. that number was close to 50% during 2018 midterms. that does not bode well, jackie. jackie: former special assistant trump america first policy institute chief communications director mark lauter. good to see you. talk about president obama hitting the trail, the suggestion has been made, that president biden has been told to stay in the basement, say it that way. president biden has been told to stay in the baste since delaware. that is what he is doing, at least in certain swing states, key states very crucial. they think obama bringing out the heavy hitter will have more heft and weight to bring biden out, in this "politico" morning

consult poll. it indicates that when you look at who is enthusiastic about voting, when it comes to black voters 25%. white voters 37%. hispanic voters 35%. it is clear to me obama can vote now than our own president can? >> there is no question. i mean we all know what joe biden is going as for halloween tonight, the invisible man. he cannot be found. there is a reason for that. his numbers are horrible in the 30s for targeted states. regardless of what demographic you are in the issues are all the same. it is the economy. it is gas prices. it is crime. it is education it is securing the southern border. the democrats are wrong on all of these issues. the only thing they can do is try to bring out the one democrat left in their party who maybe sort of popular, and that is barack obama. but when you talk about young

people and social security, again, disconnect, they're talking to the wrong issues, to the wrong people, with the wrong answers. jackie: what about this cnn panelist, mark, if the democrats didn't plan ahead in 2020, that basically 2020 biden was the emergency nominee? your thoughts on that? i don't really like having a emergency nominee as the leader of the free world. that makes some people a little nervous. >> there was no question that he was their last-ditch effort because if not, they were going to have confirmed socialist bernie sanders being their nominee. remember he was going in. if he didn't win in south carolina he was pretty much done and joe biden, i'm sorry and bernie sanders was going to get the nomination. so jim clyburn and others had to rescue him. they had nobody else left. the problem they have no energy in their party. i've seen deeper benches on a peewee little league team than democrats. they can't carry the movement forward with any positive

policy. the american people are seeing it right now. none of it is working. jackie: one school of thought out there, that the president isn't actually calling the shots, mark? that is more extreme members of the party that you just mentioned, that did not get the nomination, maybe setting some of these extreme policies that play out hurting americans. the president said this is not a referendum about him, that it is, paraphrasing here, but it is about two very polar opposite types of policies but to me is the policy for the left. he represents it. so absolutely this is referendum on him and what he has done in his tenure. we have a sound bite from lindsey graham. here is how he thinks the midterms can go. >> i think we can be at 52 or 53 in the senate? >> really. >> i think we take the house. first bill, secure the border, go after fentanyl. the second bill people should vote on finding oil and gas we own so we're energy independent

from people that hate our guts. america will say no from the most radical agenda, rampant inflation. here is bide's america. when you go to the gas station you will probably get robbed. that is why we're going to do well. jackie: mark, your reaction. >> i would agree with senator graham, i would make energy number one, immigration number two. we can hash that out but those are the big issues. 53, maybe 54 how the senate seats will go. the american people are tired. it's a choice with policies from the radical left. they don't work, they remember the policies from the trump years, the america first policies. they do work, they want to get back to us. jackie: people tell me anecdotally biden voters, this is what they didn't vote for. they're not expecting it. >> we warned you. jackie: you did. marc lotter, that so much. >> thank you. >> elon musk making big changes

counts, democrats and republicans, 60 of them who filed a lawsuit against the general assembly, governor pritzker attorney general raul raising issues of constitutionality on top of these policies themselves will cause crime to skyrocket. what has been going on in chicago has been a product of these policies that have now been codified state level. jackie: yeah. what is interesting is democrats who supported the defund the police movement, which is one of the reasons that crime has spiked over the last two years, now they are backtracking, as we're eight days out of the midterms. nope it wasn't me. i didn't do it. stacey abrams is one, listen. >> i did not say nor do i believe in defunding the police. he is lying again. i never said i believe in defunding the police. >> your reaction to that? >> well, they used the term defund the police in various different ways but in illinois

the safety act was a way that they tried to obfuscate and the product of that is to defund the police. the way that the cash bail system works, now that they're trying to eliminate it will have a significant financial impact on law enforcement in a variety of different ways. increased prosecutors. increased public defenders. we have law enforcement having new obligations. it is all an effort to destroy the criminal justice system. jackie: right. >> it is indirectly going to defund the police. no doubt about it. jackie: they do it in the vain fighting for criminal justice reform. thomas is there any way to try to reform the system, help those who are disenfranchised without putting violent criminals back on the street immediately? i imagine there must be? >> yeah. there is a lot of ways to do that. what is interesting about the safety act, when they talk about how it is not equitable. the reality is, to the extent someone otherwise retained in jail and unable to post bond, now a judge, if they choose to, can just detain them without

kelly o'grady is in san frond with the latest. kelly? reporter: good to see you, jackie. elon musk has not even made any major changes but he already is facing backlash on what his new twitter looked like. advertisers are getting cold feet. general motors is becoming the first major brand to hit pause. confirming to fax business, we're engaging with twitter to understand the direction of the platform under their new ownership with course of business. this would temporarily pause our paid advertising. woke users are calling gm woke and an at this free speech, other critics highlight they're too willing to work withtic cob, for under the investigation to ties to china, how it uses data. musk sharing no content moderation has been changed and will council of viewpoints, coming of changes the whole verification process is being revamped right now. they're reportedly considering an idea to charge as much as $20

a month for that coveted blue check. users are balking at the sticker price in the twitter poll. it demonstrators the focus will not be on free speech but trying to turn twitter around financially. >> kelly o'grady. thank you. joining us heritage foundation tech policy research associate jake denton. jake, good to see you. musk had quite a weekend. get reaction to kelly's reports, reports by "the new york times," he is planning to make big cuts at the firm, you know, getting rid of staff members and also this idea that he will charge for verification. your thoughts. >> the news gm, whatever other corporation comes around says that they will no longer advertise with twitter is to be expected for too long. corporate interests have driven the direction of this country. elon's goals are maybe aspirational in a business sense they're really not that crazy. restoring free speech to the internet is something that is long overdue.

whether shonda rhimes not promoting a woke netflix show or sara bareillis promoting music no one wanted to listen. twitter will be a better platform when those folks are gone and president trump and countless con serve tiff influencers are brought back to the platform. he needs to stick to his guns here. jackie: i can't imagine elon musk wouldn't think some of this would happen when he took leadership and took the reins and also started talking about changing some of the rules. but he is also a very, very, god and successful businessman with a great track record. i imagine he considered some of these issues and he just doesn't care. >> no, i think that 75% of staff being laid off number didn't come out of thin air. something that is absolutely necessary in order to execute his vision and frankly person nel is policy. the same issue president trump faced in early days 6 his administration. if he wants to accomplish what he set out to, purchased this company it will require him to blow up the entire staff.

i don't think he should stop at 75%. i hope he gets every single one of these people that made twitter a giant failure. jackie: you're right. part of his plan to bring in fresh blood, blood loyal to him, employees who have not been carrying out the policies and practices even if they're not in the fine print of the top twitter executives, you know, suppressing speech, the bottom problems, all of these things. everybody was working together at that company. they have all some accountability i would imagine? >> we're seeing employees still employed at twitter are going rogue. countless other conservatives were banned over the weekend from the platform. frankly it will continue to happen until elon gets rid of these people. so i think he is really got to power through these first couple days to get to the firings. jackie: it is interesting too. he wants it to be a public square. he does want people to you know, have the right to free speech. he wants them to voice their

opinions but the question is, always has been, when it comes to twitter, where do you draw that line? when does a user go too far? when does the company take action? cuts it have to be reported that there is a violation, or does the company just decide? are they able to look at or monitor all of these accounts? it will be interesting to see how he reshapes, redefines what is happening there. >> elon has said in the last few interviews he has done regarding the direction he will take with the platform he intends to the follow speech laws of the united states. calls to violence and other things of that nature will not be allowed on the platform but they're not going to be in the business deciding what americans can say on the internet. we're a week away from the election and thousands of americans were taken off the platform. he will put an end to that. it is long overdue. it is time to restore order and speech to the platform. jackie: take them off the platform. conservatives losing followers, a lot to watch for you know, many people are excited to see what elon musk will do.

as i said before he has a very strong track record as a businessman. so my bet is that elon musk will make this company profitable and he will create shareholder value. jake, denton, great to see you. thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> biden's border crisis, law enforcement warning parents to be careful about rainbow fentanyl as children trick-or-treat for halloween. these pills disguised as candies have been found in 25 states. texas congressman jodey arrington joins uss a next. ♪. christian health care ministries is an organization with over 40 years of trusted care who understands the importance of family. a group that sees you for who you are regardless of your health ory. offering values-based affordable health care cost solutions for people just like you and me. learn more today at your chm.org about healthcare that puts you in control.

jackie: president biden to head to new mexico this weak to attend campaign events, critics asking if the president will finally make his first trip to the southern border, only 649 days into his presidency. this is administration accuses state of arizona of trespasses by building a barrier on the u.s.-mexico border, here to discuss. congressman jodey arrington. it is great to see you. it is about time biden got down there, he is getting mere near it, but he does not seem to be making the big trip. >> no, he is coming to a rally in new mexico for big

election. i think they are making a mistake. i don't know any democrat that wants this president, his lawlessness and radical agenda to show up for discussion prior to november 8, it did not work out in virginia, that state is about 10 plus points favorable to democrats. that flipped. we're seeing seats in hispanic dominated communities in south texas, flip by 12 points, our first hispanic republican congresswoman in mira flores. and i think this will be big story. a seismic political power shift with hispanic people leaving their traditional affiliation with the democrat party to vote for people who share their values, that is republicans. that is why we'll have a big night. jackie: illegal immigration

coming into this country, illegally spot one of those value -- is not one of those values, arizona has also been struggling with it. administration is accusing them of trespassing. they don't top see any more border wall be built, they are not really -- when you ask them, they don't say much about it they just ignore what is happening there but tacitly they don't want the call, they want illegal immigration. >> yeah, that is right. how do you know that? look at the lengths they will go to, look how intentional should committed they are, they would do this tiki tack violation of trespassing for a governor who is not going to be a victim passive victim of a failed federal government and derelict president, he will exercise his constitutional right of

self-defense and secure the border, prosecute the bad guys, enforce the law, that is what every state leader ought to do, the constitution supports this, this president is not changing his policies. jackie: part of the problem is not just illegal immigration, but drugs coming across the border, fentanyl is one. as we're watching this of the key races across the country, they talk about drugs, how they are hitting their communities, overdoses and deaths from fentanyl. and one of the big problems halloween today the rainbow colored fentanyl that looks like candy brought into to trick children, democrats said we sensationalize the story, chuck schumer has acknowledged it though. >> these are sweet starts, if you opened up this little container of sweet starts it would look the same that is what the drug dealers are doing. this rainbow fentanyl has our law enforcement agencies on edge. with good reason.

we know that one of these pills could kill, this is one of the biggest health threats today. jackie: for a small child just coming close to that pill could kill them, 67.6% of all drug overdose deaths are fentanyl. >> this is one more thing to worry about as a parent, in biden's america ramp ant crime, we have ceded border to drug cartels, they push their product across now they make it look look candy for children, this is biden's gift to our country, that is why you will see overwhelming republicans. jackie: congressman, we have to go, we have 8 days lift. i am jackie deangelis in for liz macdonald. kennedy: happy halloween. rise in crime is not real. it i
