5:00 pm
lyric let's get out of the courtroom and get into the debate room, which has a lot more to do with ordinary americans lives. donald trump will have plenty of ammunition and jackie deangeles in for liz macdonald going to produce the entire thing.
5:01 pm
jacqui: oh, wow. jackie: we have the top 24 presidential election and americans considering a deal breaker issue with the candidate and poll found the top three deal breaker issues when deciding who they will vote for for president for abortion and the economy and border security and with me now to discuss this is wall street journal columnist and fox news contributor bill mcgurn and republican strike that just ford o'connell. ford, i'll start with you and get react to that poll. what struck me about this is democrats are motivated about them with what they're necessarily expecting and looking at this poll, 15% say abortion is a deal breaker and
5:02 pm
14% say it's economy and 14% say border security. those numbers are really tight and they're in a tight margin. it's not like abortion is a landslide issue ahead of them. >> the economy resinating with the hispanics and saying it's going to decide the election and a very, very close election and decide essentially between 18-22 counties. that's how tight it'll b. jackie: yeah, bill, when it comes to economy and inflation, people are really feeling it and they're feeling it where it hurts and these are kitchen table issues and they've lived with it for more than three years now and two en member ahed of them and not invested in the stock market and care about the grocery store and there, joe biden, you've failed.
5:03 pm
he's not told the truth and inflation was 9% when he came in and it's not just the slip of the tongue, but many americans feel they're being gas lit by the biden administration and coming for the white house it's that the american people are not smart enough to understand joe biden'achievements and when you crack them, which is starting to be done, neil talking with jared bernstein and couldn't admit what he got wrong and the only explanation is joe biden is deliberately lying he knows the truth and two, he was really old man and gets confused and he
5:04 pm
doesn't know where reality is and going for the line. jackie: it's interesting to me and gaslight people and they're aware of the issues and they know they're being gas lit and makes them more angry and motivated and seems like out of desperation and this is a president and administration trying to do last minute things either to get a headline to again, try and trick people or they're pushing to ease marijuana rules and does he think doing things like this will help in the general election? i mean, most people don't care about the issues and again, we've stated what's most important. >> jackie, compared to 2020, he's down 30 points from where he was with voters under 30 and
5:05 pm
down seven point withs blacks and at parody with hispanics and actually believes that doing this will help him win favor because again, right now according to latest fox news poll, donald trump is up by 8 points with voters in the 30 of the election day and jackie: making a a stance and bill mcgurn, a final question and jen psaki thinks trump will back out of the debate and going for the condition and getting closer to the first one in june and trump will bock and it's funny she's saying that now and trump thinks that biden won't make it to the podium and simply doesn't have the stamina and it's
5:06 pm
unlikely >> and the work is feeble and>> jackie, fox news poll shows 70% of voters say the economy is in only fair or poor
5:07 pm
shape and inflation is a big reason for that. take a look at numbers, 89% of voters say grocery prices are a problem for their family and more than 80% say the same about gas prices and utility costs and a lot of voters are worried about healthcare and housing costs as well and in a letter to president biden senator elizabeth warren and other democrats in congress argue the biden administration needs to do more to bring down these costs. taking additional action to address rising food prices without congressional action. the letter lists all sorts of ways to say the biden administration could leverage the ftc cpi usda and justice department helping lower prices and republicans say the problem isn't greedy corporations but president biden's policies.
5:08 pm
>> looking at just groceries and just groceries over 21% more people paying out of pockets since this president took office. this is a major issue for the american people in one for which the biden administration will have to have an answer and clearly they don't. reporter: despite the claims of price gouging by democrats, new report of federal reserve bank of san francisco found that price gowning was not a -- gouging was not a primary catalyst for inflation in 2021 and 2022. jackie. jackie: grady trimble, thank you so much for that. with peak spl for reaction and
5:09 pm
59% disapprove of how biden handled this economy. that's almost 60%. and obstructing cerumen top of that, you've got 46% saying they favor paying off student loans, 52% are opposing that and the reason i put that in there is because student loans are one of the stunts and looking at numbers, he's not doing well and they're going to extreme desperation mode to try and move the ball forward.
5:10 pm
>> i winter storm back and looked at gross margins and net margins are about a dozen feud companies over the last five years and they've not expanded. company have raised prices because cost of everything of fuel, of shipping and plastics s and everything you can think of have gone up under joe biden. americans know it's because they've been spending too much money and that is the bottom line. jackie: previously it's a president that's stood up and said especially when donald trump was president and stock market was running and you happen and it's the fundamentals and now all the sudden jackie:
5:11 pm
watch this exchange with peter doocy asked karine jean-pierre about the stock market. listen. >> why is president biden celebrating today the dow reaching 40,000 if his position dating back to 2021 about the stock market is that's not how i remember having economic flow. >> we have long said that the stock market is not the economy. we have said that to your point and it's clear that we'll say president biden's economic plan is working. be really grateful for that for the american people. jackie: she's really brain dead. i don't know if i can say that on tv, but she's really brain dead and they're shrinking the middle class and not addressing the flip-flop biden is doing on the stock market and they're a mess with their messaging.
5:12 pm
>> it's supposed to be for the working man and middle class and it's going for plus one and paying off student loans is something that annoys the middle class and two kinds of people and work hard to get their kids through school and that's not the group that joe biden is addressing and this white house is confused and don't know who they're trying to please and even by what standards they trying to please those and more. jackie: she's interesting to watch and quoting an interesting piece and thank you so much. great to see you. great picks back up and son

5:19 pm
understanding the question and suddenly he starts to have a todd blanch repeat question and said that earlier and don't know what you mean and confused by the question but this time. jackie: michael cohen is a known felon and a convicted liar and anderson cooper saw him get back intoed a corner and michael cohen is a lawyer and knows how to slow down the process by saying wait a minute, can you repeat the question so he can think? he obviously has to backtrack in his mind to figure out what he's supposed to say in this particular instance. that's the big question is he lying and is he lying now? can we possibly believe him and the left wants to see jute
5:20 pm
question is can i as a prosecutor believe the witness? >> it's a disgrace to rest a case on him. no confident prosecutor will do it. jackie: procedurally we had to have the cross-examination of michael cohen and we don't know whether we're going to see other witnesses take the stand for the prosecution. having said that, bob costello and many think he should be and
5:21 pm
he comes out, outright and says he told me there's nothing about here and >> i swear to god, bob, i don't have anything on donald trump. i kept oncoming back that he knew this was the way out if he wanted it and had useful information. he didn't have truthful information and kept on saying during the same meeting, he'd pound his fist on the table and point his finger at jeff and myself and say, guys, i want you to know i'll do whatever the f i have to do. i will never spend one day in jail. well, he spent more than one day in jail, and he blames donald trump for that. jackie: the prosecution will rest with cohen and defense will have a opportunity and bring one expert on campaign finance and limited testimony there. should they bring costello? >> i think they should certainly
5:22 pm
explore it. i think that would be interesting testimony, and i think a number of other individuals should also testify to conversation with michael cohen that he's a serial liar and can't be trusted and i wonder if we'll even get to a defense case. there's a very good argument that the judge could rule that michael cohen and should rule that michael cohen is so un-reliable and has lied so much and jackie: seeing what happens next week and it's going to get a to be a real nail biter. sam dewey, thank you for being here. amid democrat to dubai and arizona sheriff mark lamborghini

adversary should not have access to american tax credits plain and simple. we cannot allow american tax dollars to enrich chinese companies and attempting to infiltrate them and it needs to stay that way and it has the strong backing of some democrats in the senate and it's likely to sail through congress to the president's december and can president biden could decide to veto this and wait and see what happens. jackie. jackie: marinette from the committee and congresswoman, thank you so much for being here tonight. what amazes me about this story and i'm glad hillary laid it out and pushing the ev industry in this country and not in china where all the components come from. in one breath, biden's putting the tax credit out there to
5:48 pm

5:49 pm
and multiply 278 million by 30-kilowatt hours and 9 trillion and don't have electricity and don't have energy and they're not allowing permitting so that we can get the component metals such as cobalt, lithium and get those metals in order to build ev cars here in the u.s. so on one hand he disadvantages u.s. companies by not allowing the mining and processing we need to do here to on shore that and on the other hand the chinese communist party eligible for the chinese tax credits and meant for american businesses and speaking out of both sides of his mouth and it's our job to have oversight on this and push this envelope and i think it'll pass through congress and the senate. senate. jackie: congresswoman, don't you think what we've seen in the stock market with respect to basket of stocks and tell ago bit of story and ev push here in the united states even despite all of the issues, it hasn't really fully worked for the american consumer and the cars are still expensive and charging
5:50 pm
is un-reliable and the stations aren't necessarily infrastructure isn't with battery powered concerns and they're taking a really long trip and ultimately consumer pulling back from that and they want gas powered vehicles or hybrids and popular as of late and better for the president to issue a mea culpa and pushed on this a little too soon and taking it a bit slower and see how it all goes and industry evolved and let free market capitalism dictate what happens here and ultimately going for the product to be ready to come to market and consumers buy it and that'll be the time that we make a switch. going for the innovation occurs and we develop and let the market take care of this and do
5:51 pm
this there's stop and go traffic and don't work well here in iowa. they don't work well here in the north. where it gets cold and batteries lose their charge and the charging stations and there's a big blow to the biden administration when elon musk and tesla said they're not going to build a number of super charging stations and they'd planned to do it and ill thought out policy and we are not -- it's not ready for prime time and other presidents have stopped and issued mea culpas and they've gone to the center but the biden administration does not seem to be doing that at all and they're capitulating to the far left wing extreme base. jackie: congresswoman, great to see you tonight. thank you for your insight. >> thank you, pleasure to be with you. >> thank you. stuart: house ways and means committee chair jason smith demanding the department of commerce going with the

5:58 pm
republican party, this is the latest example, the fact that the republican chairman of the ways and means committee that governs taxes for corporations is attacking a going after and investigated the u.s. chamber of commerce which is the most important business lobby in washington. >> when it comes to the funding, what do we know about this organization in the left-leaning ties, how does this it impact the entire narrative with respect to influence? >> part of the problem we just don't know, the tie foundation does not disclose its donors. it sounds like the reporting's out there that someone donated money to the ties foundation to give the money to the chamber of commerce. under the laws of our country no one has to disclose who the money is coming from, the chamber is not saying who it is so we really don't know where the money is coming from. jackie: in when you describe the chamber of commerce as sentiment that you just described, the chamber of commerce is a lobbying group and a liaison between the business community and government ended important function we would want it to remain as impartial as possible to bring both sides together, that would not happen if all of a sudden you're very progressive
