david: so this year's world series really shaping up to be one for the ages. the houston astros were shut out by the philadelphia phillies in game 3 but they bounced back in a huge way in game four last night, throwing the second no-hitter in world series history. the first-ever combined no-hitter in the playoffs with four pitchers led by starter christian javier who only gave up two walks in the first six innings. unbelievable. the astros went on to win 5-0, tying the series now at two games apiece. coming down to the deadline, astros and phillies face off tonight. that does it for "fox business tonight." "the evening edit" starts right now. elizabeth: okay it is getting pretty crazy out there as we're

getting down to the wire. the president, media hyperventilate democracy in peril. we have sound of democrats sowing chaos, denying trump's election. the united states is not meeting about recession triggered by inflation but the fed is raising interest rates to stop historic inflation. a top biden advisor admits crime is a problem but blames it on trump. polls show more voters swinging to the gop. former president trump and obama will hold competing rallies this weekend in swing state pennsylvania. with us tonight congressman french hill, pat fallon, economic pro carol roth, joe gamaldi from the fraternal order of police, "the hill"'s joe concha, fox news contributor liz peek and gop strategist ford o'connell, and ashley davis. we have a lot of headlines. we have more on the democrat senate candidates who support no-cash bail that has led to released felons attacking and killing again. congresswoman aoc, alexandria

ocasio-cortez, in a big fight with elon musk. aoc now claims she was censored on twitter. plus president biden heads to two border states but why no plans to visit the actual border there? and more controversy over climate czar john kerry flying polluting airplanes and democrats they're using gas-powered cars as they order you to drive electric. surprising number of voters who just say no. big election sleeper issue say is now driving voter turnout. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: check your money. welcome to the show. we begin with stocks again down. trading was choppy today. the fed signals interest rate hikes will continue to rise to battle historic inflation. experts though say rate hikes will not fix supply shortages,

driving inflation. the fed can't print diesel fuel, can't print groceries. supply chain goods and more. edward lawrence is at the white house. edward? reporter: well, liz, clearly the message from the federal reserve chairman is that inflation has not peaked yet. in fact he says that they thought they would see inflation coming back down as of now but inflation proving more difficult to get under control adding the fed will not stop raising rates until they see substantial progress in tackling inflation. >> if we were toe overtighten we would use our tools strongly to support the economy a as we don't get inflation under control because we don't tighten enough we're in a situation where inflation will become entrenched. reporter: he said elevated inflation started 18 months ago. president biden has been in office 22 months. you see a chart with the president's policies. we see the president pointing figures about everything and

pushing his spending. president biden: despite what republican officials say we can afford the student loan program. it is because of our historic deficit reduction. reporter: he minimized inflation in the speeches over the past two weeks. liz. elizabeth: edward lawrence thank you. by the way the deficit is going down because trillions of pandemic spending are expiring. congressman french hill from house financial services along with wall street pro, author carol roth. good to have you both with us tonight. first to you, congressman, the president just spoke touting his student loan bailout, more spending there, look what columnist george will is saying he is saying vice president harris and president should not run again because biden falsely claimed the congress passed bailout. they never voted out it. this false claim is frightening. he is questioning biden's mental condition. that is george will. for you congressman? >> liz, great to be with you, liz, carol, i think every american is questioning joe biden's fitness.

i can't recommend that he run again but let me tell you, he is talking about inflation as if it is not created by his spending policies and he is making jay powell's job tougher because he is putting up headwinds in the face of the rate increases by the fed. what, tax increases on energy? more regulatory costs. tax increases on our families. and not unleashing american energy? and spending $9 trillion more next year's deficit in my view with that student loan reduction or student loan forgiveness it will be a record. elizabeth: to what the congressman is saying, spending trillions more, carol, is making the fed you know job crazier to do rate hikes to stop that inflation. you know, carol, i would like to you watch this. a question for voters is this, watch? >> next tuesday all of you will go to the polls, will stand there in the polling place, to make a decision. i think when you make that decision it might be well if you

would ask yourself, are you better off than you were four years ago? >> are you better off today than you were two years ago? two years ago you were not making choices between heating and eating. >> that gop senate candidate in new hampshire by the way was targeted. he was assaulted, struck in the head before the debate. around the time of the debate. carol, your response to what you just heard. >> yeah, that is the multitrillion dollar question, are you better off and you know, with very have you exceptions nobody can say they are better off. alignable, a small business community came out with a poll. they had only 35% of their respondents who identified as republicans yet 62% of them said a republican controlled congress would be the best for their business because small businesses aren't better off. the average american isn't better off.

they want to hold people accountable. so i think that is what this is all going to come down to. elizabeth: what carol said it is not registering what democrats and biden are doing it is not registering because americans are choosing what to pay for gas in the tank, heating groceries. quinnipiac, cnn, npr, marist, 538 sudden shifts in voters going to the gop with less than a week away but congressman the white house claims they're not even meeting, not even talking preparing for the recession. watch this. >> there are no meetings or anything happening like that in preparing for a recession because, i will say this very clearly, we have said this, our economic team said this, secretary yellen said this, you heard of this from the president, what we're seeing right now is a strong labor market. elizabeth: so, congressman, they are not even meeting, ad hoc on the fly? it is not surprising voters feel like they would trust sushi

bought at a gas station than what this white house is doing, congressman. >> my gosh, liz, they're not meeting because they don't have a clue, they don't understand that the american people are hurting from inflation, even our seniors, who joe biden tried to take credit for the social security percentage increase from inflation, not even recognizing he caused it! you know, look, 8% social security increase is the biggest in decades but it is not good enough when you have 15% increases in food, 60% increases in fuel costs. our seniors and our hard-working families are still falling behind and if you're falling behind, that's a recession for your family, that is why so many don't feel better off than they two did years ago, with low inflation and low unemployment and economic growth. elizabeth: so, carol, to what, you know the congressman just said, you know president biden last night is doubling down on this, about, you know, maga

voters. nobody out there, the folks out there are not talking about maga voters as a threat to democracy at all. they're doubling down on a failed strategy that is not registering. watch that, watch what democrats have said questioning trump's election, watch. president biden: this is also the first election since the events of january 6, when the armed angry mob stormed the u.s. capitol. i wish, i wish i could say the assault on democracy ended that day but i cannot. >> you can run the best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you. >> how can you win with russian interference though? that is what i'm scared about in 2020. >> rightly. >> i think we have illegitimate president that didn't really win. how do you fight against that in 2020. >> you are absolutely right. >> trump didn't actually win the election in 2016. he lost the election and he was put into office because of russians interfering. >> hard to see former president

carter there too. carol what do you make of what is happening here? >> yeah, it is so hard to see that. we heard that hillary really won because she won the popular vote. they came up with every single thing that they could possibly come up with, and you know at the end of the day nobody has actually done anything to create anymore trust in the election process, liz. i think that is the big issue here. i remember doing 2020 coverage on this network, sitting at 2:00 in the morning with full makeup and my hair made up, i'm going why am i sitting here all gussied up doing this, people who are going home counting the votes? there has not been trust instilled in the system. so obviously people are going to have questions. but to pretend this is just a one side issue when we heard the democrats say it over and over again based on ridiculous things is just very frustrating. >> yeah, so only democrats can question election results, congressman, what carol is saying. the polls show with six days to

go voters heads are not there. quinnipiac, cnn, marist, "gallup polling," economy and inflation outrank all the other issues plus democrats have spent $53 million supporting elect shun deniers in the primaries, but what with all the talk of undermining democracy? >> the pot is calling the kettle black with hillary clinton saying the '16 election was stolen. bottom line, americans saw a lot of voter concerns during the pandemic. state legislatures take action to strengthen integrity of our voting. i'm so pleased here, arkansas we got ranked by heritage as the fourth best state for election integrity. you've seen that trend all over the country. elizabeth: former president trump holding a rally in pennsylvania tomorrow for dr. oz. former president obama also holding a rally for john fetterman. former president obama is increasingly getting being killed. he was heckled in arizona.

he got heckled in detroit. >> it is about pain. >> other people are talking. you get a chance to talk. set up your own rally. >> katie hobbs discrimination. >> a lot of people are tired of this. come on, man.

in crime. i don't know how other way to think about it than this. they don't care about victims. the democratic party, these people that are running for office still supporting bail reform, supporting rogue d.a.s. they don't give a dam about the victims. these are mothers, fathers, daughters, sons being murdered in your streets. statistic i the most dangerous time in this country than it has been in 30 years. people act like it's a joke. everybody needs to get serious about crime. i certainly hope people going in, voting for the midterms are taking it searly. elizabeth: watch senior biden visor cash that bottoms try to blame trump. >> want to remind the american people this uptick in crime was experienced in 2020. this is when this began. the american people know who the president was at that time. elizabeth: what do you say, joe? >> you know i've gotten so used to this false narrative so easy to counter. actually the huge increase in crime started in 2018, it

increased in 2019. we started sounding alarm due to rogue prosecutors and activists judges letting out criminals over again. you know what president trump did? invited us to the white house to give us any resource to stop this. president has not invited us to have have a summit on crime despite historic numbers of people being murdered. minority communities, 12 times whom said rate than everyone else. where is the outrage. elizabeth: defund police, cash bail, started in 2020. let's show a lot of that started. show what the polls say voters want on crime. weak-on-crime policies put criminals over constituents. that is the fear among voters and law-abiding citizens of the we also have sound that we want you to listen to, joe. you will hear from the voters themselves. watch this. >> i am going to vote republican this absolutely for every, the district, the top level, after

cancellation program is tied up in the courts. republican states are arguing you can't use the pandemic as an excuse to cancel student debt under the heroes act because the administration argued elsewhere that the pandemic is over, for instance at the border to lift title 42. the border by the way is just a few hours away from here but biden does not plan to make any mention of it. that is where the republican hoping to unseat the state's democrat governor, michelle lujan grisham is zeroing in. >> we've had support from glenn youngkin and we've had support from people across, democratic sheriffs in the state of new mexico. people in the state of new mexico had enough. even though this was a biden plus 11 state is the reason we're going to win it. reporter: because democrat governor michelle lujan grisham and her open point mark ronketty are neck-and-neck. that biden is not avoiding close races. relative absence in swing states largely ability to sway voters

generating a boatload of co2 emissions. i was looking at the numbers. average person producesmetric tons of co2 for a year. one celebrity, won't tell you who it is, i won't tell you who it is, 3300 metric tons. it's a gigantic issue. the truth is there is a reason for sort of making fun of these people because they, they talk the talk but they sure don't walk the walk. elizabeth: sounds like democrats on their own are wiping out the paris climate accords. >> right. elizabeth: you know. liz, democrats are hitting the campaign trail driving gas cars as they order everyone else to buy electric cars. we're talking obama, biden, schumer. you know, the vice president. they're all in gas-powered cars. we have seen polls, half of voters do not want their states to follow california's law on banning new gas cars. we've seen other polls saying you know 90%, 95% of people want

to keep their gas cars. >> look there, are a lot of reasons for this. number one, evs are still expense system. the taxpayer is subsidizing evs to the tune of $7500 or more in some instances. the truth they're still more expensive than gas-powered cars. if you line up the annual cost of running, driving an ev very as you gas-powered car and include that amortization if you will of the purchase price, guess which one is more expensive, liz? it is still the ev because it is so much more expensive of a purchase price. the other thing i think, there are two other problems. one is in rural areas there is no infrastructure really set up to accommodate what is still a pretty limited driving range for about 250 miles. so you know, there are a lot of parts of our country where it really isn't suitable yet to have an ev. now the administration is going to spend hundreds of billions of

dollars to fix that but it isn't fixed yet. there are places in our country where it really doesn't make sense for people. the third thing is, everyone is pretty aware that the environmental argument for evs is not clear-cut. there is an awful lot of rare earths and minerals that are used in the production of evs that require very dirty and extensive mining. we don't do it in this country. why don't we? not because we don't have the minerals because it is so environmentally destructive. you know i think americans are kind of wary and guess what? people really don't like being told what they can and cannot do in america and i applaud that. i don't want to buy an ev. it is inconvenient. lay off. elizabeth: there is no such thing as zero emission or climate friendly electric car to your point. for now, the foreseeable future the energy to manufacture them and power them are going to come from the electric power grid

which is powered by fossil fuels, 80% of that. so you know, lots of lithium and to your point metals mining in places like the congo using child slave labor to make those batteries, you know what i mean, liz? >> yeah. elizabeth: the voters are not being told the whole truth by democrats what it takes to could an electric car. final word. >> look in california they made this push, right? they're mandating it. the next thing we know you're not allowed your to charge your ev certain hours of the day and night because they're short on electricity. when gas prices surged it was more expensive. the argument is not clear-cut. i think we got a long way to go before the american people buy into this. elizabeth: got it. liz peek, good to see you. great writer. read liz's stuff, she is terrific. >> thanks so much, liz. elizabeth: on the off chance you might be in england next week be

elizabeth: fox news senior congressional correspondent chad pergram on capitol hill. chad. >> liz, passing bills into law could be a problem for a g.o.p. majority with president biden still in the white house. but the g.o.p. is promising red meat to the base. >> what don't the fbi just stay out and quit being political, let the country decide, we mea need to dig into that and get answer to how they put that together. >> and republicans want to probe hunter biden, dr. anthony fauci and maybe

impeach the president. republicans could over play their hand. >> a potential risk of a republican majority is the opportunity it pro cents for democratic president to present the majority as extreme. >> fire brands insist they score blum assignments in the investigation, saying people will not be happy with house minority leader kevin mccarthy if he does not reward her with a key role investigations. elizabeth: chad thank you. >> we welcome ford o'connel and ashley davis. first to you ashley. this is the sleeper issue of the elections driving voter turn out, the pan pandemic shut downs, at the same time riots broke out, and we have school board parents nationwide energized

and minority groups energized because of what is going on with crime in their communities. >> i'm very acited this is still an issue for our voters. i was concerned since it was over 18 months ago when it really started two years, that people would forget the very extreme laws and restrictions we had whether with schools and students or covid restrictions, y you saw the wave starts with governor youngkin in virginia and school board members losing a year ago, i believe that the trend will continue even though i'm pretty confident that the economy and inflation other day-to-day kitchen table issues are just as important. elizabeth: what do you think ford, to what ashley just said, what happened with spending because of the pandemic shut downs, ignited, hot money to a locked up system. that ignited inflation, a

lot of people say that is the sleeper issue. >> it is, a sleeper issue, the democrats played politics with the shut down rather than what it in best interest of america, whether you have learning lost that will haunt us for decades or talking about drug use, depression and lost business productivity, dr. anthony fauci and the biden administration have a lot to answer for, it would be wise for the republicans to question them, when they take control of both chambers of congress, the american people need to know, how. the biden administration let them down. elizabeth: to what ford is saying, dr. anthony fauci is to be deposed in that missouri, louisiana law lawsuit. about what was said on-line. you don't want people to be misinformed on the internet, but we have new government documents reported by the intercept, homeland security is still working on disinformation on the pandemic, vaccines, afghanistan, ukraine, what

do you think of that story? >> i also. that people will look into this, you had jim jordan on the show, leading up to this i think he and this committee will dig into every issue. not just -- we don't want to go on too many witch-hunts but american people need to find out what really happened during covid and what is happening in our schools and the crime across the nation. >> final word, ford. >> the dhs under mayorkas has a lot to answer for, they are supposed to stop misinformation. elizabeth: the president has been accused of a lot of misinformation too, ashley davis, great debut, we'll have you back on soon, see you again ford, thank you for joining us, you have been watching the "evening edit," have a good evening i'll see you week after next, goi t
