david: that's it for "kudlow" today. don't forget to tune in tomorrow, larry's exclusive sit-down interview with former president donald trump. it's a no-miss show. that's tomorrow. but first, liz macdonald is up next. hi, liz. elizabeth: thank you, david. that interview's going to be exciting. that's larry's former boss. can't wait. david, thank you so much. president biden again misleads

voters, we've got the sound. and, you know, you can't make this up. the white house all day today would not acknowledge inflation, how it's hitting you as they celebrate the inflation reduction act. that they privately admit doesn't cut inflation at all. they own it, they can't blame trump. and president biden practically flies over but does not visit east palestine, ohio, site of that toxic rail crash. he said he would. is he making the same empty promises about visiting hawaii? and we've got how former president trump can fight back against his latest indictment. and this outrage, a george soros-backed d.a. in oakland, california, facing a recall sticks it to her voters, gives her boyfriend a sweet six-figure job in her own office. also far-left congresswoman ocasio-cortez and rashida tlaib loudly demand biden's student loan bailout but stay silent on

their own big student loan debt. i'm liz macdonald, "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ ♪ elizabeth: welcome to the show, thanks for joining us. you know, hollywood couldn't write this. the biden white house today throws in the towel, desperately tries to change the narrative all day long about your kitchen table costs. they don't want to talk about that. now they're saying their own inflation reduction act, it's not about inflation, it's about climate spending. but inflation is still such a problem, news coming out of the federal reserve minutes ago, the central bank may raise rates again next month. stocks taking hits all day long. edward lawrence live at the white house with more. >> reporter: yeah. you know, it's interesting, liz, the president now saying that this inflation reduction act is going to be the climate savior. the president saying it will bring with good paying jobs without giving a timeline to when those jobs may be. but then he got chippy.

listen. >> the financial times and the "wall street journal" initially called my plan bidenomics. i'm not sure they meant it in a totally complimentary way at the time. [laughter] but guess what in it's working. [applause] >> reporter: president biden talking about the money the act is putting into west virginia. senator chuck schumer thanked west virginia senator joe manchin for helping pass the inflation reduction act. senator manchin tried to distance himself from that vote now in a statement saying that he will push back on politicians using the bill for a political agenda that begins with my unare relenting fight -- unrelenting fight against the biden administering's efforts to implement the i.r.a. as a radical climate agenda instead of implementing the i.r.a. that was passed into law. the penn-wharton budget model says the cost of the act ballooned from $340 billion to $. 5 trillion over 10 years because of the implementation. republicans calling it a budget

buster. >> that's not bringing town the cost of energy nor is it bringing down inflation which, as you can see, it might be off a little bit, but people are still paying more now and probably will continue to pay more for all their costs, goods,s services, everything they need including groceries. >> reporter: and the message from the white house is that the inflation reduction act is helping middle class americans. you know they'll vote next year about how they see bidenomics. elizabeth: edward lawrence, thank you so much. let's bring back from house appropriations congresswoman ashley hinson, economic expert jon lonski. thank you so much for helping us out tonight. you know, first to you, congresswoman. if the inflation reduction act is so great, why don't we see democrats barnstorming the nation about it? >> right. well, they're certainly not running on it because it speaks for itself. this anniversary of the inflation reduction act is, frankly, not an anniversary they should be celebrating. you cannot spend your way out of an inflation the crisis which is what they claimed that it would

do. it created slush funds, it obviously focused on sustainability at department of homeland security instead of actually securing our border. it's completely ludicrous, and americans see right through it that the inflation reduction act is not doing anything to make life easier for working families. elizabeth: yeah. so, you know, what the congressman just said, jon -- it's good to see you. you don't see democrats talking about the slush funds in there. tens of billions of dollars flying out the door, no strings attached, unaccountable. and then you have the cbo director joining the san francisco fed, chicago fed saying, yeah, blowout government spending is fueling inflation, period, full stop. >> no question about that, liz. and, in fact, you know, the bond vigilantes are beginning to write again, you know, that 10-year treasury yield today was up to 4.27%. it hasn't been there since 2007, i believe. and higher interest rates had been the first consequence of

the threat of faster price inflation and an even wider federal budget deficit. this is getting ugly. the last thing in the world you want to do in order to contain inflation is to go ahead and increase government spending and, i might add, increase federal regulations when you already have a tight labor market shown by that that historically low 3.5% unemployment rate. elizabeth: yeah. what john just said. congresswoman, dealing with this white house is like fighting with a flock of seagulls over your head. i've said that often. biden's spokeswoman neera tanden today turn a reporter's simple question on high grocery prices into a speech about prescription drugs. and if they're not dodging, they're blaming trump. voters see what they're doing. >> absolutely. you know, they're claiming credit for bidenomics, but bidenomics is based on the proven economic theory that money grows on trees or in the

basement of the capitol. it's completely ludicrous. the real story behind bidenomics is that they have spent $10 trillion that we don't have. it's countless regulations pouring down on our small businesses and working families. they tried to cancel student loan debt to the tune of $400 billion. they squash every single viable option for domestic energy production. all of these things mean our families are paying more per month, about $709 if i remember that number correctly per month for the same exact goods and services they were getting less two years ago. elizabeth: yeah, that hurts. >> a result of those policies. elizabeth: even president biden regrets calling it the inflation reduction act. it doesn't cut inflation. but let's go through, he's making even more gaffes and blunders. they're so easily fact check-able. and again, this is a scripted campaign. this is the basement strategy now being call the beach strategy with teleprompters and scripts. watch this. >> a lot of you were with me

when i was in pittsburgh. [applause] by the way, pittsburgh is the city of bridges. more bridges in pittsburgh than any otherty in america. i watch that bridge collapse. i got there and saw it collapse with over 200 feet off the ground going over a valley. it collapsed. [applause] today is not hyperboleing we have the strongest economy in the world. you're looking at me a little skeptical. my grandpa biden who died very young, died in the hospital i was born in six days before i was there, before i was born. my dad was a high school-educated guy was well read and worked like hell. he didn't have a chance to go to college. elizabeth: okay, none of that is true, john. the president's father actually attended johns hopkins university for a year. biden's grandfather died in september '41 in baltimore, more than a year before with biden was born in scranton. and fox digital reporting biden showed up hours after that bridge collapsed in pittsburgh, and he gave a a speech 4 miles away. john, wrap this up.

>> well, this is part of the ongoing fantasy from an economics perspective. you cannot have this economy continue to grow at its current rate with the help of stimulus from climate change spending without having to pay the cost of significantly faster price inflation and much higher interest rates. elizabeth: congresswoman hinson, john hon sky, thanks for your help tonight, good to see you. joining us now, former acting u.s. attorney general matthew whitaker. great to have you on, sir. can trump make the same move? mark meadows and rudy giuliani talking about moving the georgia case against them out of georgia to a federal court to get it dismissed under federal immunity laws. could the former president make that move? >> yeah, certainly he can. it's good to be with you tonight. i think this is one of the many moves that each of the 18 or 19 defendants are going to have to make and decide whether to attempt to remove it to federal court where you might get a more seasonedded judge.

you know, this judge in the case currently in fulton county has about six months of judicial experience as a previous prosecutor in that office. and so, you know, we don't know how the judge is going to handle the case, but that being said, typically you want to be in federal court, not state court, when you're a defendant. the jury pool is going to be broader than just fulton county and, you know, typically the judges are more seasoned. elizabeth: we're also reading up on this, trump could challenge the indictment on the grounds it interferes with this the u.s.ty old law called the electoral count act of 1887. he has presidential powers there. states cannot interfere with him asking about potential election fraud. i mean, we know republican governor brian kemp is pushing back saying there was no voter fraud in georgia. trump's going to make a presser on monday about it. but, you know, the point is that al gore questioned election results. is so did biden, stacey abrams, hillary clinton. the it's how al franken got into the senate in a recount. also kennedy got hawaii's votes in the fight against nixon.

what do you think? >> yeah. i think there's a question also, liz, in addition to what you describe that what happens in this electoral vote count is there's a certification date, and it was in december. and when georgia certify the election, there was an active lawsuit that they didn't know how it was going to turn out. so the alternate slate of electors was in case the trump campaign won that lawsuit in order to potentially have trump electors that were, that could be sent to be, you know, to washington, d.c. to vote in the electoral count. and if those hadn't, if that slate hadn't been created, my understanding is, is that there would be no alternative slate and, therefore, no votes from georgia. so that act is going to be very important in the analysis. elizabeth: interesting. now, let's watch senator josh hawley, former trump attorney alan dershowitz, and you're going to see the d.a. in action here. watch this. >> what's clear about this is, this is an effort by the ruling party, the democrat party, across states in the federal government to make sure anybody

who criticizes them gets indicted. >> you cannot start making crimes out of things that the democrats, tilden, hayes, john kennedy election, 2000 election, 2016 election. jamie raskin gets up and does some of the same things. we're supposed to go to court. we're supposed to go to congress. you can't make those things crimes. and you can't expand the rico statute to now include political objections. >> and have you had any contact with the special counsel about the overlap between this indictment and the federal indictment? >> i'm not going to discuss our investigation at this time. elizabeth: how is she not allowed to discuss that? what if she did, what if she was coordinating with special counsel smith? you know, and how the -- how is this not political? local atlanta tv is reporting willis launched a reelection web site just days before she announced that 41-count indictment against trump and the 18 co-defendants. how is she not allowed to talk about whether she talked to

special counsel smith? she should be able to say whether or not yes or no, it's a yes or no question. >> of course she could talk about it, she chooses not to because, you know, she is trying to elevate her political career, put herself on a national stage, develop a national fund raising base. and this rico case, you know, what professor dershowitz said is very important because many of these cases whether it's the jack smith case, whether it's this rico case has taken a law that was intended for an entirely different purpose by the legislators and the governors that signed it, these acts. for example, sarbanes-oxley or, you know, 1870s reconstruction laws that were passed, and they've been twisted to try to fit this fact pattern. it is right, they're trying to criminalize the political, and this is a dangerous moment in american history. elizabeth: listen, we know a lot of people, the "wall street journal" editorial page doesn't agree with trump, but they're sticking to the merits of this fourth indictment. legal pros saying what would normally be protected under the free speech constitutional

rights is now being rebranded as conspiratorial racketeering like requesting phone numbers, tweeting, encouraging people to watch tv. 15 of the counts have to do with free speech. one critic said if it were a crime to make false statements, washington would be a ghost town. >> yeah. and they're trying to criminalize asking questions and investigating so that you can support a lawsuit to back your claims. but, you know, that's the world we live in right now, liz are. elizabeth: yeah. we're going to see, you know, how trump -- when he went too far, you know, we're going to dig into -- we read the indictment, we're going to stay on the story. but we've got to make this final point. matthew, what do you think of this? democrats have been slamming free speech since pandemic lockdowns and those social justice riots. now according to the far left, you can't question the recount, you can't question the narrative about lockdown or covid vaccines, whether the pandemic leaked out of a lab in china, no free speech for school board parents, you can't question the trump-russia theory, whether

hunter biden's laptop was russian disinformation. now you can't question voter ids or voting that went on for a week in and again you can't question or ask for any questions about a recount? really? this is the u.s. they want to live under? >> that's what the left wants. the constitution protects our free speech rights, but the left continues to limit what we can say based on whether if they agree with it or not. elizabeth: matthew whitaker, thank you for joining us. the update on fox news power rankings for the republican primaries now out. the state of this very crowded race coming up and who has the best foils for you -- policies for you? guess who's in the lead? trump. former trump economist steve moore, washington examiner correspondent byron york, the national misassociation spokesperson sergeant betsy smith and fox news conservative tammy bruce taking this on: president biden heavily criticized for practically flying over east palestine on his way to brag about bidenomics in wisconsin.

elizabeth: okay, fox news power rankings for the republican primary out today. let's get you updated as you've got the gop candidates working the crowds at the iowa state fair. fox news' alexis mcadams live in des moines, iowa, with the story. it's good to see you. >> reporter: or good to see you too from des moines. it's been a busy few days here as we've seen lots of presidential hopefuls move through. not surprising in these fox news power rankings that donald trump is sitting at the top, but manager that is new to point out is that south carolina senator tim scott has now moved into the top three. he tells me it's because of his common sense conservative values. listen. do you think the republican party is ready to move on from him and have a fresh face? do you think voters are ready to move on for donald trump? >> i'm running for president, so

i certainly believe that they are. [laughter] i think people are excited about an optimistic, positive message as long as you have a backbone. you do not have to be angry to win people over to a conservative proposition. >> reporter: and tonight donald trump remaining that clear front-runner as the former president's leading by 30-40 points in most national polls followed by ron desantis in second. the florida governor is the top alternative to trump as of now, and in most national polls tim scott is a distant third, but he's the only candidate to poll double-digit support in more than one state according to our fox news poll. so we know the campaign fund raising is key to running these races. trump is also reigning supreme, pulling in $54 million in just the first half of the year. desantis is also getting big money from large individual doe force, but -- donors, but it's really a different story for tim scott who he's had more than 53,000 unique donors, so people that are only putting in $200 a

pop. he's spending big money on tv ads in ohio and -- in iowa and new hampshire. we saw vivek ramaswamy, nikki haley and mike pence in the crowd, they're list as -- listed as those in the conversation. asa hutchinson tells me he's going to qualify for that debate. watch. what do you want people to know about you that they might not know yet that could change their mind to vote for asa hutchinson? >> well, my record as governor. whenever you balance the budget, you lower taxes, you work hard to create the private sec editor, that record -- sector, that record, to me, is important in understanding how to lead america. >> reporter: and as trump the remains on top this these power rankings, elizabeth, it's important to point out he's the only one that that's saying it's not too early right now. all the other candidates are saying they still have some time to work on this, but it's not going to be too early for too long. before we know it, we're going

to see the caucuses here in iowa. elizabeth: alexis, thank you so much. great reporting there. look who's back, toes news -- fox news contributor tammy bruce. optimism, positivity, growth, that's what the candidates are talking about. then you've got president biden, he pretty much flew over east palestine, ohio, going to wisconsin bragging about bidenomics. he claims he was going to visit that toxic rail site crash, and he still hasn't. he's gone on multiple vacations, tammy, and he's making the same promises about visiting hawaii's wildfires. is he going to go? >> i would expect that he will, but, you know, this is now -- we're seeing this string of examples of how this is a man who simply lacks empathy. i don't care who's really running the country, but these are individual decisions now. joe biden can say, hey, this is what was going on in the ohio, we haven't been there, i immediate to go. i need to go. his kind of not just the lackadaisical approach regarding hawaii, but a very distant, unbothered kind of attitude,

that no comment framework, it's not juster irritating or -- just irritating or troubling, it's strange, right? we see this everywhere from his reaction to the gold tar moms who lost their loved ones this afghanistan, even when that situation happened in the first place, the murder of those 13 soldiers. in addition to just in general the economy, there seems to be a lack of an understanding that there are human beings here in this country -- elizabeth: yeah. >> -- who are affected by every single thing he does. and it allows them in a way to not care, like the border, the issue of crime, china. the only person that seems to matter to joe biden is joe biden. and unless we all change our name, i don't think we're going to get much from this guy who doesn't seem to care about anybody, even, you know, look, hawaii's a blue state. maybe he can't care about red states, i don't know what his problem is, but -- or maybe that

is the issue about hawaii. if you're, you know, it's like hillary not going to wisconsin. who needs to do that, right? elizabeth: it's like he wants the nation to be on the same railroad track only talking about climate change spending. you know, tammy, the thing is you make excellent points here. the fires are still not totally extinguished in hawaii, they're still going on. biden now is saying i'm using a whole of government response, mobilizing federal agencies. but you've got to see again president biden again smiling, again ignoring reporter questions about the rising death toll in maui, now i 106 dead, possibly a thousand till missing. watch this. >> reporter: mr. president, any comments on the rising death toll in maui? >> reporter: will you come talk about the hawaii response, mr. president? >> we just witnessed, see these bottled water dropoffs, we just witnessed a couple of three guys from oahu who had flown over as volunteers who were taking that

water and hiking through the brush and putting out actually active hot spots that are flaring up right now. these are, this fire is only 60% contained. we're hearing that a week into this cavalry's coming but we've got guys putting out fires with bottled water. elizabeth: the president says they'll go there next week. the point is he should show up because reporters then show up, keeping the focus on what hawaii needs. >> well, it also then shows because there has to be an investigation that there's almost no government. you've got a great volunteer effort going on there from all the islands coming in to maui, and that's important. but, you know, there is also a smirk with the latest, him walking to the helicopter, he smirked when asked about hawaii. we've got a problem here, and we've obviously got to continue to address it with this man. elizabeth: we'll stay on it, tammy, thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. elizabeth: we've got this story coming in, a big privacy fight. special counsel jack smith, he

got out of twitter, he got from twitter trump's location data? again, that's a big privacy issue. and retired chicago-area police officer sergeant betsy branter in smith joins us again. we've got a soros-backed d.a. in oakland facing a voter recall, sticks it to voters, gives her boyfriend a lucrative six-figure job in her office. not disclosing, talking about their relationship. it's on "the evening edit" next. ♪ ♪ ♪ the biggest ideas inspire new ones. 30 years ago, state street created an etf that inspired the world to invest differently. it still does. what can you do with spy? ♪ ♪ moving forward with node- positive breast cancer

elizabeth: okay, again, police departments nationwide, they're really fighting to recruit police officers, and we've got this stunning story. let's get you updated on what happened in a town in minnesota. madison alworth live with more. madison. >> reporter: hello. imagine you wake up and every police officer in your town has quit. well, that's what the folks of goodhue, minnesota, are currently dealing with. the mischief and all of the

officers resigned citing low pay. if police chief josh smith who will continue to serve until august 23rd said the pay at $22 an hour is not competitive when other departments nearby make $30. with no plans to raise pay, the mayor says they will find a solution. >> i sympathy we're all a little bit blindsided by it, but we're resilient, and we're going to move forward. >> reporter: goodhue is not alone in this struggle. across the country police departments are struggling we towning officer as -- with retaining officers. issues started back in 2018, but it's gotten so much worse. 65% of agencies reported an increases in retirements between 2020 and 2022. and 66% reported an increases in resignation. so that's people leaving before their pensions kick in. and the problem is new recruits are are not coming in fast enough to replace those leaving. let's look at chicago, crime

rate in chicago. they are currently short 1,500 officers. in san francisco city supervisors have raised officer pay, having included retention bow husbands and overtime, and -- bonuses, and now their latest recruiting class is the largest in three years. but even with that, they are still short 600 officers. there is a lack of interest in this profession, a calling that used to draw many young people. liz in. elizabeth: what a story. madison alworth, thank you so much. let's bring in retired chicago area police officer, sergeant betsy brantner smith. sergeant, you heard that story. the men and women in blue, they're the thin blue line. we need them. how do you turn this around? >> well, we've had this three years of the vilification of the profession, and now we've seen the dismantling of our justice system, so how do we turn it around? we've got to go back to not just refunding police departments, but we've got to support the

american law enforcement officer and the job they do. and and that's including district attorneys in there who want to do the job. elizabeth: you know, george soroses-backed d.a.s have frustrated cops nationwide because they catch the bad guys, and then they're let go with these weak on crime, no cash bail laws. taxpayers in oakland, california, sergeant, they're so angry about out of control crime, they shouted down their soros-backed d.a., pamela price. you saw that during a recent public meeting. and price faces a recall. but now we've got reports that price just gave her boyfriend a six-figure job in her own office. he's going to make more than $115,000 a year. she didn't disclose the relationship. what do you think, sergeant? >> well, remember, she's a civil rights advocate, she is a reform advocate. i can't believe people didn't know what they were getting when they elected her, but she is one of 70 plus soros-installed

prosecutors. and what she told her con stitch wents is you don't -- constituents is you don't really understand the good work i'm doing, and and yet oakland, her city, is one of the most dangerous in the nation. the police department recently put out a statement telling citizens get air horns to alert us to crime because you're going to be the victim of crime. it's outrageous. hopefully this recall works. elizabeth: you know, she made eligible for parole a gang member who ended up killing ad toddler in a freeway gunfight. she reduced a triple murderer's sentence and gave just 7 years to a teen who was linkedded to three killings. but, you know, this story gets worse, sergeant, because emerging news reports her boyfriend ran a nonprofit and then local police, the richmond mayor and the fbi is suspected he was shaking down local businesses for thousands of dollars. a lawsuit quoted him as saying you've got to pay to play many richmond. what do you think? [laughter] >> they did not make any secret

about their relationship all during her campaign, but she did not disclose the fact that she hired him for this six-figure tech job. and it just goes to show that maybe she's not the best person for the job. if you're going to be a district attorney the, you have got to be absolutely ethical, and you've got to understand that the justice system has to have two sides to it. it's purposefully adversarial, but her d.a.'s office advocates for the criminal and so does the criminal attorney. it's obscene. no one cares about the victim9 in alameda can county. elizabeth: well, it's got to stop. it has to stop. we have to protect americans. sergeant smith, thank you so much for joining us tonight. it's good to see you. >> thanks for having me. elizabeth: we've got this doozy, far-left congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez pretty much silent, also rashida tlaib, silent about their own massive student loan debt while they're

elizabeth: look who's back with us, columnist byron york with the washington examiner. it's good to have you back on. what do you make of these reports that special counsel jack smith demanded twitter turn over even trump's location data, his whereabouts? that sounds like a big privacy problem. >> it was. there was apparently a big fight

between the special counsel and twitter, and judge howell in the district of columbia sided with the yous he's department on thit on this, and twitter was forced to give over everything after having huge fines imposed on it. but clearly, smith wanted to know about a trump's twitter account. we know over the years and the white house a top aide of trump's actually ran the twitter account. we also know that trump used different phones from time to time, and apparently smith was trying to just nail down everything including precisely where each phone that used the real donald trump address was whenever a tweet was made. elizabeth: but, you know, americans may not realize how damaging these investigations can be when the subject, you know, it's so invasive into their private life are. i mean, he got trump's deleted messages, his draft tweets, even

other tweets he liked and point out the devices too. again and again we've heard from trump team officials that their personal lives have been upended dealing with multiple investigations and demands put on them and their families. >> you know, and trump says to his supporters, you know, they can do this to me, they can do it to you. this is one of those things they actually can do to you and get all this information. and you're right about deleted tweets, draft tweets, things that they thought about sending but did not send. and we saw some of that with the january 6th investigation on capitol hill wanting, you know, did trump record a video, did he stop and start again, what did he say. all sorts of things that trump actually did not make public that the investigators wanted. so so, you know, it's not -- we know that smith in the indictment cited some of trump's tweets, but those are tweets we

all knew about and read about at the time. what he's going to do with this very, very private information, it's not clear yet. elizabeth: okay. let's watch again democrats denying election results. again, many people don't agree with trump is and what happened the today of the capitol riots and all the actions taken around that, but what people are saying, you're missing the forest for the trees. watch this. >> trump knows he's an illegitimate president. >> the time it was over, our candidate had won the popular vote, and the only way they could win the election was to stop the voting in florida. >> the supreme court stopped the counting of votes -- [inaudible] necessary if votes. >> what i observe ised as a vote iser, as a citizen of illinois four years ago were troubling evidence of the fact that not every vote was being counted. elizabeth: byron, haven't democrats for generations been challenging election results? biden did that in 2013, 2016.

even last in the midterms he was starting to throw shade, biden was throwing shades on the midterm results before that election. >> yes. and you didn't even include stacey abrams in there. yes, there's been 20 years of this. and, you know, specifically in congress on january 6th, january 6th, 2001, 2005, 207 -- 2017 democrats tried to stop, stop the certification of electoral votes in the congress. elizabeth: got it. byron york, thank you so much. we'll stay on the story, have you back on. >> thank you. elizabeth: coming up, former trump economic adviser steve moore. he's going to explain why it's time we've got to stop electric vehicles. we've got more people dying in uncontrollable battery fires. but first, let's check in with our buddies dagen can and sean, see what they've got coming up on "the bottom line.

elizabeth: let's welcome former trump economic adviser steve moore. steve, you have a new column. why do you say it's time to ban electric vehicles nationwide? >> hi, liz, good to be with you. i'm being a little tongue many in cheek in that early, but there have been a number of deaths, especially there there in new york city where you are. i think there have been something like 12 or 15 deaths this year from electric battery fires. many of them on e e-bikes but also from exmotions in electric -- explosions in the electric vehicle batteries, the list9 yum batteries. and -- lithium batteries. and the fire, police -- i mean, the fire, you know, chief has said that it's almost impossible to put these fires out with, you know, normal spraying of water. and is they're very dangerous.

and the point i was making wassing, well, wait a minute, you know, we shut down nuclear power in this country after three-mile island, and nobody even died from three-mile island k. and yet nobody on the left says anything about these electric fires that are being caused by these batteries, and why is that? because they'll do anything to get green energy. elizabeth: yeah. so biden, this is just collateral damage to this white house. we've got more than 300 injured, it killed 20 in new york and san francisco since 2019. >> that's right. elizabeth: 66 injured this year. so where's ralph nader on all this? [laughter] >> isn't that -- you know, ralph nader made his fame back in the 1960s, i don't know, this might be before your time, liz, but the corvair was a car that he wrote the very very fame book called unsafe at any speed. and what's so interesting about that is actually more people have died, you know, from these electric vehicles than have died

from the corvair. and we banned that car. and so again, there's just hypocrisy here. don't the people -- we've got to do something about these fires. they're getting more and more problematic. you're seeing them, as you just said, you cited those statistics, liz. these fires are becoming more common every day. liz: elizabeth: they're surpassing fires started by smoking and cooking in new york city. the most common if -- >> and by the way, you may have seen, liz, there was a fire that happened a few months ago in new york that started with an e-bike, and it burned down the whole building. so these can be very, very dangerous. elizabeth: yeah, they're randomly blowing up. so, you know, they want to ban swimming pool if diving boards, gas stoves, plastic straws, vaping, but it's okay for people to die or be critically injured from electric battery fires? final word. >> yeah. i mean, that's what's so hypocritical about this. and, look, i have an e-bike, i

love it, but people should be aware of the risk of having these, and i do find it ironic that we shut down nuclear power for 30 years with nobody dying, and we've had way more people dying from electric batteries, but they love those. elizabeth: steve moore, stick with us, you're going to be back in a moment. this story, far-left congresswomen alexandria ocasio-cortez and rashida tlaib, heavy got massive student loan debt. they're not really talking about that. they're demanding president biden push through a student debt bailout. that's coming up on "the evening edit." ♪ ♪ ♪ chevy silverado has what it takes to do it all. with up to 13 camera views. and the z71 off-road package. ♪ you ok? yeah. any truck can help you make a living.

back with us now, former economic advisor during president trump, steve, the democrats and the white house are all about transparency, that's what they say. new report, alexandria ocasio-cortez is up to $50000 in student loan debt. fellow squad member represented rashida tlaib was more than 100 grand for her laundry so how can they not talking about that as they demand president biden to demand a lot? >> these are people running for congress because they don't pay their bills. but when i heard this story, i was outraged because it sounds self-serving that these members of congress would want to forget that and have taxpayers pay for

it and guess who's going to line up and get the benefit from that -- other members of congress so i find it to be outrageous and i think the american taxpayers and people in these districts are outrageous as well. >> when you go through it in the original bailout would give up to something like 20 grand in student loan debt. if you make under 125,000, they earn about 174,000 but maybe that's why they push for bigger bailout. we don't know. >> members of congress are well-paid so making well ave average, over the average probably in the top 1% of income they want bailout on student loans, what's wrong with that picture? >> let's turn to the economy because we have the white house celebrating inflation reduction act on your anniversary, inflation is double digit compounded hunter biden, nancy pelosi saying to the nation celebrate this as climate spending so all day long they

were tamping our discussion of grocery bills and inflation at the kitchen table and now the rhetoric and narrative has changed, it's about climate spending. you are about to eat with former president trump, what is the take about this? >> we are having dinner with the president, larry kudlow is here as well and i think the take away, joe biden sounds so out of touch with the american people. when he talks about how well the economy is doing and people can't afford groceries or to fill up the gas tank when we are running $32 trillion national debt when the border is out of control so i think the president seems to be a little detached and washington d.c. is the one area of the country doing well, not so much real america on main street. >> philip slagle said today basically he's joining the san

francisco and chicago fed saying government spending, overspending is fueling inflation. white house spokesperson saying i want to talk about grocery bills when a reporter asked, she's like i'm going to talk about prescription drugs. can't blame trump anymore, it's like flight fighting with the flock of seagulls. >> here's the thing, look at grocery bills, gas bills, rent and mortgage bills, electric and utilities, people have to pay every week or month, those are up far faster than the inflation rate so people are feeling financially pinched by the biden policies. >> tomorrow night gingrich in a big panel for you, now it's time for dagen and sean. take it away. ♪
