>> ainsley: good morning, 7:00 a.m. on the east coast monday, july 8th and this is "fox & friends." we begin with a fox news alert. lawmakers returning to capitol hill today as president biden faces a pivotal week for his future. as four senior democrats join the call for biden to step aside last night and long-time party insiders are giving a brutal reality check. >> the president just doesn't seem to come to -- he hasn't come to grips with it. is he not winning this race. >> guy: this all coming as a new op-ed says it's time to get used to the idea of president kamala harris. even praising the v.p.'s work on the border, of all things. >> steve: i have got read about that. and a fox weather alert. hurricane beryl is making landfall in texas at this moment as a cat 1 hurricane. we track the mess. live report from the scenes straight ahead. the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now steve

all right. we start with this. fox news alert. for senior democrats are reportedly joining calls for joe biden to go and end his re-election bid as congress returns to capitol hill today. >> guy: this all happening as biden's campaign facing mounting pressure following both that debate that we all watched and then an abc news interview last week. >> ainsley: that's right. gillian turner joins us from the white house with the latest. good morning, gillian. >> gillian: good morning you guys. calls from the president's own party escalated for him to bow out of the race despite the president pleading his case to abc news on friday and then participating in a whole flurry of campaign events across the weekend. things are not going to get much easier for the president. not a lot to look forward today with the house returning from recess. one democrat reportedly telling axios, quote: the explicative is going to hit the fan monday when congress returns. people are scared about their own races but they are also worried about the country and about democracy four more

democrats privately called for biden to bow out during a listening session with leader hakeem jeffries bringing a total we now know about calling to step adecide nine. those new four are reps jerry nadler, mark t takano and joe mi and adam smith. now, the president though doesn't seen outwardly bothered by the criticism. take a listen. >> did i events in north carolina events in georgia. large crowds, overwhelming response. no slipping. and so i just had a bad night. i don't know why. >> gillian: he has a big week. the nato summit begins here in washington tomorrow. heads of state and governments from around the world will be here to wow wow with the embattled president. biden is then going to hold a

high stakes solo press conference on thursday before traveling across the rest of the country over the following week with big fundraising events. as of today, nothing on the president's schedule for now, except him getting his morning intelligence briefing. back to you guys. >> steve: gillian, if on thursday the president is going to have a press conference, and we had heard that he was going to do an interview. he did it on friday with george stephanopoulos. it was 22 minutes. do we know how long this press conference is going to be and whether fox will get any opportunities to ask any questions? because as we saw from a radio reporter. apparently the white house loves to give out questions ask it in public because joe has the answer right there. >> gillian: steve, those are obviously very posh key questions. we don't have answers from the white house at this point. hopefully we will get a little bit more clarity over the coming days as we lead up to thursday. as you know, there was a lot of back and forting internally here at the white house whether this

should be solo press conference and whether it should be a town hall. they decided ultimately on doing a press conference. hopefully we will have a seat in there and get a question. >> ainsley: supposed to be about the nato summit ending than day and he has a presser. i'm sure reporters will be asking about that interview with george stephanopoulos and debate. >> steve: will it be before 4:00 in the afternoon? we hear is he good between 10:00 and 4:00. >> we don't know that yet either. we will try and get you some answers. >> steve: they are making it up as they go. indeed. gillian, thank you very much. the live report from the north lawn. >> ainsley: there are democratic representatives that are calling for him to withdraw from the presidential race. the "new york post" cover says time to go, joe. these are the four that were on the call yesterday with hakeem jeffries. the minority leader. just saying it's time for you to step down, president biden. they talked about what the next steps would be. but they just remain in turmoil after the debate and then after

that abc interview. then there are some that have -- democrats in congress who have publicly called for him to withdraw. and there is the list there, those five individuals. and other calls to drop out from former top democrat officials including hulaian castro the former housing secretary and tim ryan the former ohio congressman. >> steve: here's the thing adam schiff was on meet the press yesterday. he said hind has not put concerns to rest and called for cognitive test for he and donald trump both. right now what is going on in washington. recess for a little while. come back to work today. that is why one democratic lawmaker, anonymously told axios today it's really going to hit the fan. but they used the actual word. because, keep in mind, it's not just the frontline congressman, democrats who are in purple districts whose jobs are imperiled by joe biden staying. in it's others as well who rely on big donors, who suddenly can't find their checkbooks.

and it's also on the public opinion polls. we had david carlucci on a little while ago and he said the polls aren't so bad. let's see where the poll goes after people have been able to see that joe biden performance over and over and are reminded is that the guy you want for the next four years because, apparently the insiders closest to joe biden in the white house think he can ride this storm out. berg tore that the democrats are stuck in right now slowly bleeding him day after day: it can't go on like this. it's the worst of all worlds for them. convince to go and he has to agree to that all right, time to circle these wagons hard corps because time is running out and ticking down. the interview we mentioned on abc with george last friday. >> steve: 22 hard minutes. >> not really helping things in terms of the keep biden camp. here were some of the moments. >> and have you been doing that.

and the american people have been watching. yet there are concerns about your age and health are growing so i'm asking to reassure them, would you be willing to have the independent medical evacuation? >> watch me. there's a lot of time left in this campaign. over 125 days. >> so the answer right now is no, you don't want to do that right now. >> i have already done it. >> yes, but you are behind now in the popular vote. >> i don't -- i don't buy that. >> is it worth the risk? >> i didn't think anybody is more qualified to be president. >> mr. president i have never seen a president at 36% approval get reelected. >> i don't believe that's the laapproval, that's not what our apostles show. >> if you stay in and trump is elected and everything you are warning about comes to pass? how will you feel in january. >> i feel as long as i gave it my all and i did the goodest job as i know i can do.

>> ainsley: that's not what the democrats want to hear. they want to hear him say i will win. they want to watch. not that i gave it my all i can walk away. at one point in that interview he said he didn't know why he did so poorly in the debate. another part of that interview he said he was observation sauced and george pushed him because of the all the international travel. you had 11 or 12 days off between europe and the debate? why wasn't that enough time? and then in another point of the would you have joe biden said he was sick. he was feeling daryl. he had a really bad cold. and then that made me -- we have all had colds. can you go work with a cold. can you talk with a cold. and you brought up a good point in the commercial break. >> guy: yeah. he has got this terrible cold had which is what they leaked halfway through the debate and sent him out to the waffle house to shake hands immediately afterwards. okay. do i need some lysol here what is going on? three different explanations. i don't know very tired from the jet lag. sick. pick from the buffet. >> steve: there you just had --

george called him on his numbers and said, look, you are behind in battleground states and biden goes well, you know, i don't believe that's my approval rating. nobody knows numbers better than nate silver. he had that famous blog last night late night he put up a blog post and essentially said that progressive media critics are ignoring the reality by creating a pro-biden echo chamber. he writes in part on his blog, the conch before was clearly inadequate. and it centered too much on the electoral implications and not even the more fundamental question of biden's fitness for office. the critics didn't challenge the underlying reality. they only made the media seem out-of-touch. the democratic party now finds itself in a state of crisis. he does go on to say that the media didn't cover his acuity except for remember that big piece in the "wall street journal" that came out. and then everybody attacked the "wall street journal." >> guy: hit piece, they said.

>> steve: what he says in this particular thing and i suggest that you read it if you are curious. he says there is a 70% chance that donald trump is going to win. and when you look at the betting markets, and that's where people actually take their money and bet on what happens going to happen. right now, 59 pours of betters are putting money on the fact that joe biden drops out. because of that lousy appearance debate. >> ainsley: david axelrod adviser to president obama have been saying this before -- we didn't hear the media talk about that really until after the debate. so much concern should he drop out. and hearing congressman say the same thing. david axelrod said biden is heading towards a landslide defeated. listen. >> his psyche is that he can beat anybody and any long odds. what he can't beat is father

time and that's really the concern here. it's not about his record. every time he is asked about whether he can do the job until is he closer to 90 than 80 he says well, look at what i did the last four years. that's just not the way it works. follow tom brady won a super boe out of football. why? it doesn't detract from his greatness or what he has done. it's just that are certain immutable facts of life and those were painfully obvious on that debate stage. and the president just doesn't seem to come to -- he hasn't come to grips with it. is he not winning this race. he is more likely, if you just look at the data and talk to people around the country, political people around the country, it's more likely that he'll lose by a landslide than win narrowly. >> steve: i think he is right. and you know the tell. we all heard from robert hur,

the special counsel looking at special prosecutor looking into joe biden's classified documents that he had scattered all over the place. when robert hur came out and said i'm not going to charge joe biden because he is in elderly man with a very poor memory. as soon as he said that, i'm not going to charge him because he is a sympathetic character who doesn't have the memory there. that was the opportunity to go there must be something there. there wasn't intellectual curiosity by at love people. "wall street journal" picked up on it. our correspondents. jacqui and peter went after it. other than that, it has been quiet until the debate. >> guy: we have seen a lot of this for years. remember that photo of biden being shepherded away easter by the easter bunny. a staffer mr. president over here. that was april of 2022. the signs had been there for

years no one on that side wanted to deal with those signs in a serious way. the conversation that david axelrod is now trying to have should have been had by that party a year or two ago. >> ainsley: that should make the democratic party furious. if you are a democrat and they saw the signs and ignored them and we saw the debate performance and everyone saying wow were they protecting him for all these years? >> guy: yes. >> ainsley: they are not showing you falling down all the time not showing you him mumbling through his speeches. not showing his cheat sheet cards with pictures that say walk to this podium. they are not telling you that they are meeting questions to radio show hosts. so, they have been doing this for a long time. and now democrats are seeing their candidate and they have tore furious, this is important. >> guy: they are complicit. they should be mad at themselves. >> ainsley: months until the democratic national convention. now there is talk of having another primary. we only have a month in the

democratic national convention. this sour country at stake. >> guy: democrats, listen, you are welcome to just say it. fox news was right about this the whole time. you called us liars, we were right, and now you are living with it. >> guy: i'm not holding my breath i'm inviting them. it's a friendly invitation. >> steve: you we don't know what is going to happen. you saw that guy he should drop out. four subpar ideas, one, the democratic party could prop him up. number two, kamala harris could be the nominee. and the third one is you find somebody else. but it seems like people are starting -- because of one poll that came out that actually shows thoughts and prayers beating joe biden in the head-to-head against donald trump by 2 percentage points. suddenly places like the daily beast there is an op-ed there like the headline said it's time to get used to the idea of president kamala harris and it goes on to talk about what great

candidate she would be, they say among other things, harris has opened up important dialogue with countries at our southern border. this is hilarious. to reduce migration flows at the source. >> ainsley: she has been all over it. >> steve: she has been a leading voice creating plan for the day after in gaza. that's really working well. she has helped to maintain support among our hall lies for the administration's ukraine policy. she has engaged actively on next generation tech issues and supported tougher gun control laws while serving as effect actually women's issues and issues pertaining to communities ever colors. clear me not only mastered her brief but has grown more comfortable. expressing herself in her own voice. becoming a powerful communicator in many ways trump's worst nightmare is a rival candidate. so, the daily beast has a valentine's day. >> ainsley: i thought you heard him with the leaked video on the

golf course is he not empressed by kamala harris. >> steve: that person at the daily beast put together a good argument for her. >> guy: was that good? >> steve: well, listen, it made sense. unlike the many times we have heard her answer easy questions with very he complicated word salads. listen, i love a salad. but so many word salads, it's just complicated. here's an example. i don't think the daily beast guy watched. this. >> there are, you know, people of every age and gender, by the way, who see something about being the first that lets them know they don't need to be, um, limited by other people's limited, um, understanding of who can do what. ai is kind of a fancy thing. first of all, it's two letters. it means artificial intelligence. but, ultimately, what it is it's about machine learning. and so the machine is taught. >> culture is -- it is a

reflection of our moment in our time. and in -- and we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment that is a reflection of joy because, you know, it comes in the morning. ha ha ha. >> steve: any questions? >> ainsley: she could be the president if joe biden drops out. that's what you would get. >> steve: that actually made more sense than joe biden. >> guy: which is saying something. i would make this point about the daily beast snippet that we just read. i think it's ludicrous to laud her work at the border and foreign policy and other issues. it's crazy. >> ainsley: stick to the women issues. >> guy: the at least the ones that massive failures. a mass temperature communicator. are you kidding? that is hard core propaganda. but, if they succeed in pushing joe out. i'm not sure he wants that but if they succeed and they decide it has to be her, which i think

is probably the likeliest scenario. get ready for avalanche of that sort of propaganda from the media. they are going to prop her up. come back story. they are going to make it seem like she is god's gift to politics. even though we have all seen for three and a half years really more going back to her failed presidential run. she is not any of the things that were described. they are going to tell us loudly over and over again that she is amazing. >> steve: remember when she was running for president, i believe at one campaign event. our current white house correspondent peter doocy asked her about something she had said. she was 100 percent behind the idea of getting rid of private health insurance. guy that was her plan. >> steve: you got private health insurance? kamala harris, president kamala harris would like to get rid of that. really? >> ainsley: this has been such. >> steve: i'm against that. >> ainsley: such a strange election year. journalists normally, last chance during a presidential

election you can kind of go away with your family and take a day off or two, that's july 4th. journalists all over the country oh my gosh, is he going to drop out? we need to find alternative plans scramble and go back to work. we were concerned whether or not he was going to drop out of the race this past week. that has not happened. now we hear about that phone call last night. congress is coming back today and next week is the rnc. we are all gearing up to go to that next month is the dnc. on monday, "the washington post" is reporting that donald trump is going to announce his v.p. pick at the rnc next monday. could happen in the morning, could happen whenever. jason miller, who is a strategist for donald trump, works for the campaign, he just said moments ago this, listen. >> here's what we know is by this time next monday, we will know who president trump has selected as his running malt for the 202 # 4 election. president trump has some great choices, i really like all of the finalists and it could happen any time this week. it could happen literally right up until the first day of the

convention. guy, what we don't know is who president trump and his running mate will be running against, ultimately. with all the talk this morning about joe biden and whether or not he can hang on in a presidential spot, we also need to be asking the question of how long people in the white house have known about joe biden's decline and what's the cover-up been behind it? >> ainsley: we will know this time next week hot v.p. pick will be. it's early in the morning. >> steve: right. he said it could happen this week. >> guy: this week? >> steve: keep in mind, we thought last week, before the debate. we thought that donald trump might actually reveal his hand blike a week ago. the debate happened and the political world is talking about how joe biden really sucked at the debated. donald trump is not going to put out the name then. the big question is will the joe biden drop out story ebb to the point donald trump says okay, i'm going to go ahead and make a headline. if i had to bet, he will wait until next week. because this whole thing with

the party incorporate fighting behind the scenes with the democrats, this is going to go all week long. >> guy: keep the spotlight there. >> ainsley: keep the news on joe biden and poor performances rather than changing the direction. >> steve: does sound like the two top contenders are j.d. vance and marco rubio. two top senators. curiously enough i saw this on truth social, president trump started following out of nowhere yesterday ben carson. dr. ben carson. the only one of the, you know, people announced as a potential vice president who he now follows. so was that just a head fake or did he decide, you know what? i'm thinking. >> ainsley: marco rubio very experienced, run for president before. it has -- incredible story of his parents leaving cuba and their success. and you have j.d. vance,

hillbilly elegy incredible story. he has only been senator for a manipulate. at love americans might like that. is he not a typical politician. businessman, made a lot of money, very smart. went to law school at yale. two different candidates if it is those two. >> steve: my wife thinks it's something we are not even talking about. >> guy: could be. >> ainsley: talk about this storm that did hit the coast of texas. a fox weather alert. beryl is barreling through eastern texas with life-threatening storm surge this morning since making landfall as a category 1 hurricane early this morning. >> steve: the problem is the storm surge and there are storm surge warnings and tornado and flood watches in effect for that region at this moment. >> guy: fox weather meteorologist britta merwin in the town of surfside, texas. britta, good morning. >> steve: i hear the wipers. >> garage. we have been sheltering in our car for almost three hours. got to the barrier island 11:30

last night. at that point we were actually seeking shelter and riding out the storm with surfside beach fire department. then somewhere around 3:00 in the morning, this storm surge started to come in and the firefighters needed to move their fire trucks out of the rising waters. so, for the last couple hours we have been sitting here at the base of the bridge looking into the barrier island. so this is surfside beach in front of you. starting to get daylight. let me tell you the last few hours have been brutal. consistently hit with 90 plus mile-per-hour wind gusts and water continues to rise. high tide coming up in less than an hour. >> ainsley: all right, brit tax thank you so much. thoughts and prayers with the family. many people had to leave their houses and think about people coming back from the holiday weekend. flights were canceled or couldn't go home at all. >> steve: i was down in texas for the weekend they were hunkered down there preparing.

as she said every hurricane the storm surge got to worry about and that is coming. meanwhile, straight ahead, president biden ease party panic is it too little too late. >> ainsley: california governor gavin newsom says it is not as biden crisscrosses across the country. should voters question his intentions? ♪ you ever try cashbacking? it's earning 3% at drugstores with chase freedom unlimited. so i can save on something special for a first date? wait! that's all for a first date? whoa. alright, c'mon earn big with chase freedom unlimited with no annual fee. how do you cashback? here's why you should switch fo to duckduckgo on all your devie duckduckgo comes with a built-n engine, like google, but it's r and doesn't spy on your searchs and duckduckgo lets you browsel but it blocks cookies

county. and as of this morning it's only 8% contained. and in southern utah, the silver king fire has burned nearly 11,000 acres over three days. it doubled in size yesterday, and is zero percent contained. and those are some of your headlines, scary stuff. steve, over to you. >> steve: all right. thank you very much. >> ainsley. meanwhile as we have been talking about for the last week or. so president biden's political future now facing a pivotal week starting today as he tries to reassure swing state voters in pennsylvania he's not going anywhere. >> there is more to do to deliver jobs and justice. there is more to do above all we need to protected our rights. the rights of all americans, who make sure democracy works for you. folks i know with every fiber of my being, i know i don't look like i'm 40 years old but i have been around a little bit. [laughter] >> steve: hilarious. pittsburgh based columnist and

reporter celina joins us now. good morning to you. >> good morning this could wind up being one of the most consequential weeks for joe biden. because he has got crumbling support with democrats in congress and with donors essentially the party needs to see proof of life. you know, is he really alive? because the guy we saw at the debate was not alive. >> right. so, i think yesterday his trek across pennsylvania or at least halfway across pennsylvania was on purpose and that they wanted to project in probably the most important -- well, definitely the most important state in the presidential election. pennsylvania. right? and i think it was a stage craft to have him in my home state, a state he has claimed to be his home since he began running for u.s. senate in 1974, and he has the support of the top statewide

elected democrats, governor josh shapiro, very popular in this state among republicans and democrats john fetterman and bob casey and also lt. governor austin davis. all of them at one point or another were with him yesterday so were two much the of the 8 congressional delegation. and there was some symbolism there. when you saw him at the black church, right? it was very reminiscent of jim clyburn coming out for him when he was down four primary contests in 2020. i think there was a lot of symbolism in that moment. >> steve: sure, you mentioned james clyburn, immediately after the debate, he came out and said no, i'm sticking with him. i'm sticking with him. he said that a couple of days until, i think four days later and he said i would be open for

a mini -- a mini primary between different democrats who would via for the spot for mr. biden. but, as we look at the images of him at that church that you alluded to yesterday. given the fact that the white house has taken so much heat over everything that he does is on a teleprompter. he would go to donors' homes for a small intimate event 20 people. be in the kitchen reading a teleprompter. yesterday a couple of times he did not have a teleprompter and he was able to speak extemporaneously for, i think five or six minutes, something like that. selena, you are in pennsylvania, and you depicted it perfectly. it is such an important state. your democrat friends are they saying he has got to go? our chances with better winning with kamala than this guy? >> well, in terms of democratic strategists in pennsylvania, most of them are telling me not

whether he has to or should stay, they are very resigned that he is staying. now, that may have something to do with the fact that the top elected democrats in the state are supporting him. however, they seem to be resigned to the fact, right? that's where they're. in terms of voters, it's sort of split 50/50, among democratic voters. >> steve: let's see where it goes. and what he does this week. it's a wig one for him. salena thank you for joining us from your house. >> thank you. >> steve: 25 minutes before the top of the hour. nato leaders are heading to washington, d.c. today with growing skepticism about joe biden's re-election odds. k.t. mcfarland on what he, joe bidens has to prove to americans and our allies coming up.

madeleine? >> good morning, guy. france's left wing alliance scored a big upset in the country's staff parliamentary election over the weekend. the country trips political future is still unclear. protesters and interstates flooded. sunday, footage shows bonfires in the streets as authorities in riot gear confront demonstrators. the left wing alliance new popular front won 182 seats. emmanuel macron centrist coalition garnered 163 seats. marie le pen's conservative national party won 143 seats. the outcome was a shocking blow to le pen's party which had been gearing up the most legislative seats in its history after dominating the first round of voting a week ago. but macron's team and the leaders of the parties on the left did a lot of political maneuvering to try stop le pen. although the left wing alliance won the most seats no sense gel party secured a absolute majority in parliament.

big question who could become france's next prime minister. gabrielle offered to resign. macron asked him to stay miss role for the time being to ensure the country's stability. ainsley? >> guy: madeleine, thank you so much for that report. on those that same front elections in france. raising questions what to expect here in the u.s. when it comes to left wing voters and big turnout coming out in droves. we saw that across the monday. might they do that here trying to stop donald trump. let's ask former national security adviser k.t. mcfarbled who joins us now. k.t.,it's always great to see you. is the global left on the march here does that have any implications for our election? >> global left and global right. elections in europe going back to the last couple weeks to the european parliament has shown the governing colli coalitions. governed most of the democratic

world in the last 20 years are falling apart whether it's in the united states. whether it's in europe. frankly, even in canada. there's a lot of question about the stability of these governments. so, when i look at what happens this week. i mean, the critical week for joe biden politically is he up to the job? he has got one week to show the world. what he is allies are looking to us. they don't have a lot of political stability at home? even worse. this is our moment to make our moves. strikes me k.t. joe biden his performance, his acuity, all of that, his fitness for office. almost the whole conversation is driven by this election question. can he beat donald trump, can he still win? there is not nearly enough attention, at least in my view being paid to, can this guy right now perform the duties of

the presidency, which includes in a very big way being commander-in-chief and most powerful military on earth. that may not be at the top of the mind of many let's say media members in the united states or democrats on capitol hill, but it is very much front and center for our allies and capitals around the world and to your point our enemies, what are they seeing as they watch this? >> okay, well, the country place you want to worry about so right to point this out people are ignoring who our adversaries are thinking, chinese are been tell the w06r8d, over,oh, america is inreversible. joe biden is the embodiment of decline. iran ask saying the same thing. iran saying maybe this is our moment to move against israel in a really big way and divide a wedge between the united states and israel. and russia is probably looking at this and saying maybe we go an even bigger and harder in ukraine or maybe even try to hive off part of night toe the

baltic countries. they are all looking at a period of time in the united states historically, we are weak when we are going through an election period, right? because nobody makes really big news or big policies in washington during an election period. and then there is that between the election and the inauguration, potentially of a new president. that's when we are the most vulnerable and our adversaries might be looking at this, not only that killerly vulnerable but maybe this is their window of opportunity. because if there is a big change in the white house, it's not great for iran, russia or china. >> very serious angle to all of this with k.t. mcfarland, thank you. >> thanks, guy. >> guy: report coming up. new york hotels set to cost new york taxpayers over a billion dollars that's with a b. rachel campos-duffy has something to say about that and more. she's here. she's next.

>> ainsley: violent holiday weekend in chicago with at least 100 feel shot and 17 killed. just one month before democrats descend on the city for the convention. "fox & friends weekend" co-host rachel campos-duffy is here to react. good morning to you, rachel good

morning, ainsley night to see you. i remember university of chicago and she was very worried. you were worried about her a and her safety. and there was a cuter alert that was issued by the university of chicago this weekend after three men were shot. what's your response? >> >> not surprising. >> i mean, i think it's so knitting ainsley that the dnc is having their convention in chicago. it's so perfect to showcase. to say highlight. exactly what a city looks like when they are totally run by democrats. and embrace all of those democrat policies and so, you see, you know, this is really it's sad to say this. but this is the legacy of george floyd. this is what has happened in the wake of george floyd, the democrats decided to enact these policies, george soros, and the party have blood on their hands, they wanted to fund all these woke d.a.s do nothing to the criminals and they wanted to have these no cash bail policies

and this is what you get and it's the citizens it's the people most vulnerabling people in the community who pate price. >> how will they continue to go on to have the dnc there when it's not safe? >> you know, you are already seeing articles coming out. the police are now preparing ahead of time for this. and this is typical. you see this in latin america. you see in other countries, you know, they are going to make it nice and safe for all the politicians and delegates that come in. they are going to provide a wall, a perimeter around there. and keep it safe. but, the everyday life, as you see here on a weekend, on july 4th. 17 dead almost 100 people shot and wounded, this is a war joan, this is one of the most thrust places in the world, they are latin american countries that are way safer than this you know. and this is what these policies have brought, again, fitting let everyone know this is what they

have planned for the rest of america. if they take power. >> ainsley: one who died was 8-year-old boy, there have been 6500. illegal immigrants pulling into our city in new york. i remember the question was, where do we put them they built migrant cheryl's one on randall's island and put them in hotels, 80% about put in holings, post has an that morning talking about how much that's costing us, the taxpayers. the tax pay pad for that $1 billion. the who elses making money and we are paying nor it all. and there is another statistic, that if you break it down per household. $352 per day for new york households. what's your reaction? >> yeah. listen, the hotels are making money hand over fist. they are getting inflated rate from the government. they get full occupancy. they want to take the deal. they are not the only ones making money. the vendors that come in to provide the food. the people who clean the hotels. everybody, the deb kit cards they are handing out. there are banks making a cutoff

of that. everyone is making money off of this, which is why even though it's not serving the goodwill of the people of new york. it's hurting the restaurants that are around those hotels, it's hurting the bars and even tourism is down. i have a friend who tried to get a hotel in new york city was coming in to visit. and a very mediocre, not nice hotel was $1,000 a night. why? because supply is crampsd because some of these hotels would rather take the government rate and the guaranteed occupancy. and it's destroying the city. it's destroying the tourist business. and that's what you get, again, democrat policies. >> ainsley: thank you so much, rachel for coming on.
