and i'm talking about inflation. >> sit tight, steve moore. let's end on a happy note. watch late night make fun of the white house saying there is no recession. watch this. >> now if you don't mind we're going to get to the news. president biden said yesterday that he doesn't think the country is going into a recession and added quote, god willing. all right, well, god willing kind of undercuts the first part. that is like saying of course i'm good to drive, god willing. >> today doctor said his symptoms are now almost completely resolved. [applause] biden staff just to be safe, keep him isolated until 2025. >> pretty funny stuff. your final word, steve moore. >> you know is in trouble when the late-night comics are making fun of him. that is something they wouldn't have done a year ago. we have a lot of work to do. congressman, you know this. we have to start cutting government spending not adding it. get the economy moving again, that starts after the november election. elizabeth: cutting taxes, hope, optimism. this is the best economy in the world. we'll get out of

i don't think it's credible. >> neil: steve moore, i do want your quick take. technology stocks advanced. the nasdaq up over 4% that is despite grim numbers that we're getting out of the microsofts and all of these other big players including google. if we can show how the nasdaq did today. they were all up smartly. i'm wondering if that is because they were beaten down so much. this group is sensitive to rate hikes. but now we're starting to see that maybe, maybe it was overdone and they're going to come back and this is the news that helps them come back what do you think? >> yeah, these stocks have gotten pummelled this year. the big five, the fang stocks have lost close to a trillion dollars in terms of market valuation. so it's been a brutal beating. glad to see the comeback. that's good for my 401(k) plan. but i want to make one other point about the policy here, neil. what was the match that lit the forest of this raising inflation? i think we all know except for the people in the white house, massive trillions and trillions of spending. that began under

if that passes, steve moore is exactly right. the economist who stated it is pouring fuel on the already raging inflation fire. what we don't need now is more reckless spending. that's what has led to this inflation. you shouldn't continue to double down on this failed tax and spend agenda when people are really hurting for this. we need to rein in our spending and why my bill is called the rein in inflation act to make sure there is an understanding of any executive action taken by the president. canceling the pipeline and all those decisions impact inflation in a way that increases and fuels it. so that is dead on arrival for house republicans. we'll oppose any more reckless spending let alone the fact that so many of the spending bills in terms of the one-party packages that really didn't relate to covid, there are billions of dlrs of unspent money. it hasn't been spent. democrats are considering trillion dollar packages on top of that, which those dollars have not gone out the door. what we don't hear from house democrats or

we also have retired fbi supervisory special agent steve moore. gentlemen, we've been here so many times. i mean, we just keep having these conversations. it feels so circular and at times so hopeless, but steve, i just want to pull up the suspect's picture for a moment, because these suspects, these violent young men are starting to look alike. this guy -- i mean, from columbine through sandy hook through uvalde, now now. is it too much to ask, steve, when one of these guys comes into a gun store, is it too much to ask the gun seller to do a cursory check on social media? because had he, there was, you know, a well of information on the violent ideation that this guy had. >> well, the problem is that they're not really asked to, and they're not really allowed to, in some ways. they are retail merchants. it would be as if somebody -- as if you went to a liquor store and somebody at the register checked your social media to make sure that you hadn't driven drunk before. the gatekeepers are the government, essentially. it is not the retail establish

steve, good seeing you again, my friend. steve moore, calls it as he sees it. that's very rare in washington, in or out of power. michelle schneider's with us. michelle, whatever's going on on the inflation front, the market seems to weigh that with its impact -- impact on the economy and the recession. and we seem to be poised to be looking at a recession at least by the classic definition of two back-to-back, contracting quarters. the administration is widening that definition because already other definitions. i think the committee weighs in on this sort of thing, but others point to the strong backdrop of job growth and the rest that, at best, it would be a mild recession. where are you on this? >> well, actually, i was applauding this comment because i've been sort of saying that all along. we have the textbook definition, and yet the reality is there are pockets of the economy that aren't doing too poorly, labor being one. although we do have that sort of conundrum between market participation or labor participation, jobs that are available to the tune of

i want to get to economist steve moore and kristen hahn on all of this. steve, let's talk about inflation. taking a toll on consumers. the white house feels ready to get more spending through on this green agenda no matter what the cost. >> that's right, charles. my sources on capitol hill are telling me that the green executive orders that joe biden are talking about are new epa regulations on our utilities, taking more prime oil and gas lands on federal lands off of limits and export control so that we can't export our own gas. charles, that would destroy our american oil and gas industry. why is this president saying on one hand he's doing everything he can to reduce gas prices and the other hand he's taking the steps one after another starting of course with the killing of the pipeline that are going to make gasoline more expensive. if these executive orders happen, we're looking at $6 and $7 gasoline. >> does the white look at this differently? brian deese said a liberal world order that they want to get to a utopian world and the pain the americans

steve moore pointed that out in a recent story. i read it somewhere, in the journal. i mean, it's not just -- we've been covering this a long time. there's committed leftest in key economic positions in the biden administration. if you're not a leftest, you're a commit progressive. that's a problem. >> neil: and where do you say that oil is back down to levels, under $100, where we were before the first russian soldier entered ukraine. so now we've gone from the putin oil hike to where where that is no longer the issue. but everything that happened since, even though oil is coming back down, gas prices have come down from their highs, they're still ridiculously high, it has spread everywhere. >> and let's point out, the oil price rise was occurring before putin invaded, right? >> neil: absolutely. 50% of that rise happened before the first russian boots. >> that is still not a good print for the price of oil. number 1. thing -- when things go down in price like that, that's factoring in a recession. that is not necessarily a good thing. >> neil: thank you, sir. charli

i did not agree and art die, i think steve moore may have been on that, but we wrote an op-ed piece criticizing this -- criticizing the steel and aluminum tariffs. president trump knew all about it. he read it when he was calling me secretly. the subject came up once or twice. we agreed to disagree. it is interesting. i'm not a fan of tariffs. tariffs are international taxes. they tax work and production just as much as direct -- as the mistake tax rates. so i regard myself as a free trader. but i'm going to make two qualifications on this. one is you do have two think about the issue of reciprocity. what's the other side doing to you on trade? this was an important point trump made. he and i, it is sort of interesting -- the only two op-ed pieces i wrote in his administration both preceded drew -- both preceded g7 meetings. in those, i quoted a conversation he and i had where he believed he was a free trader and under ideal circumstances, that is to say no tariffs, no non-tariff barriers, and no subsidies. that is the world trump yearned for. those were his goals and they are classic free-trad

austan goolsbee was under president obama and steve moore under president trump. welcome to you both. austan, how do we fix it? steve, to you first on what is happening today and now new reporting that more americans than ever have having to hold two full-time jobs just to cover the cost of inflation as more americans are struggling. it amounts to 70 hours of work a week. this is a real impact that americans are feeling every single day. can it get much worse? what happens next with all this? >> god bless those people working 60 and 70 hours a week to feed their families and pay the bills. it is very simple, sandra. when you have inflation running at 9 to 10% as it has been running for the last year and you have wages up by 5 to 6% people fall behind month after month and it is causing a real hardship and one of the reasons people have to take on a second job. let's also remember the business end of this that was such a fascinating story about our barbecue. the small businesses are really getting hammered. if they try to raise their prices a lot of people can't af

steve moore, freedom works economist and robert wolf, former obama economic advisor and fox news contributor. inflation in just a second, but first of all, tackle gas prices. for months now president biden has been blaming the putin price hike for the increasing price of gasoline and everything else and now that the price is coming down, the white house is giving president biden a pat on the back for lowering it. if it was indeed, robert, putin's price hike that drove prices so high, how could joe biden have possibly turned things around? the war in ukraine has not changed. >> well, welcome to politics, right. as you know, john, i've been saying all along the gas increases were caused by the covid reopening, supply being down based on russia, not really outputting their 10%, and the ukraine war. so, so the perfect storm, persian gulf, and the post recession fears. we had it before and each time gas prices increased and once again it did when all three came together. with respect to some of the things he's doing, releasing the strategic petroleum reserve made a lot of sense, i don't think it'

steve, going back to the comments by richard moore, he says they suffered an epic fail and going to run out of steam in the coming weeks. how much do you think this could be a turning point in this conflict? >> you know, this conflict is sort of going through a bunch of different turning points. certainly in chapter one we saw the russians fail miserably as they tried to take over the entirety of ukraine to include kyiv. that didn't go so well. then we saw resurgence where they had a bit more success in the eastern regions the donbas regions, luhansk, donetsk. they're doing quite well there although the ukrainians are putting up stiff resistance. now they're moving towards kherson region and other south locations like that. will the russians run out of steam? it will be hard for them to maintain this operational tempo i think but we have to be careful of western analysis on this. things that western armies might not do, drive their troops into the ground, use their troops as cannon fodder, not be terribly concerneds how their troops on the ground are behaving, those are western types of
