[laughter] >> brian: all of them, they're gone. >> mark: that's why i stay down here in d.c. good morning to all of you friends. no secret that the economy is

top of mind as we get closer to the election. >> both candidates major campaigns already r. ready to talk about the economy. later today in north carolina. former president trump, is he going to be laying out his latest vision on where he thinks things should stand when it comes it trade, taxes, transportation, tariffs. is he going to be speaking in a state that he won the last two cycles. but it does appear to be more competitive now and on monday, trump accused democrats of propping up failed economic policies. >> that they really it's making them angry is what kamala and biden have allowed to happen to the economy. it's a disaster with inflation. the inflation, it doesn't matter what you make, the inflation is eating you alive. today they are using all their money and borrowing money just to live. >> vice president harris she too is talking about the economy this week. tomorrow she is going to hold a joint event with president biden in the d.c. suburbs and then on friday, she'll speak with raleigh, north carolina. just a few hours away from where trump is today.

we are hearing how the campaign is planning to talk about the economy. the harris campaign has a new statement out today saying this election will be a choice between two very different economic visions. one that builds up the middle class versus one that helps billionaires and billing corporations at working families' expense. we just learned that president biden will also be talking about the economy today. is he going to drop in on an economic meeting that's happening here at the white house. that was just audited to the schedule. so it is no secret that everybody is talking about the economy and, guys, within the next hour, we are going to gets new numbers on where things stand when it comes to inflation, the latest cpi data and give us an idea where inflation is coming down or not, steve, ainsley, brian and lawrence. >> brian: two days away from policy. i think we actually know the policy. we have been living the policy unless you want to say you don't understand how oppressed i was in that white house. i had all these great ideas and joe biden with the bidenomics every day. >> steve: i tell you what. actually, that's kind of close to it. axios just dropped an item from

michael allen and he essentially explains what kamala harris is going to be talking about on friday in raleigh. first of all, he says she knees to distance herself from joe biden, which is obvious. and what she is going to do on -- in raleigh on friday is she is going to talk about the rising prices. and emphasis, particularly on groceries, which are killing all of us. and going to talk about her plans to lower healthcare costs and housing and food. and, brian, here's the point i was referring to. she plans to unapologetically explain that she has changed her liberal views because of her experiences in the white house. and now she sees how people are suffering. and what -- among other things, and they are not real specific about what she is going to say particularly, but she is going to emphasize her record as a prosecutor in california, including the fact that she did let gait settlements in price particulars fixing cases. in other words she is going to say look, i know prices are

high. when i was california's attorney general, i sued those big companies and i got prices down. >> brian: they are not the problem. >> steve: a preview with friday. >> lawrence: free shoe she didn't shake heir hand or conversating getting a briefing or anything like that. talk about how you have been impacted. that's what matters here. look at the price of gas, it's up 46%. groceries, you see it every day, 21%. got the latest light bill, gas bill? energy is up 33%. and, of course, while you are working, your kids are at day care, 16% increase, rent, 22%. even with your kids having to come and stay home with you because they can't afford it. car insurance, 53%. and transportation 36%. >> ainsley: lawrence, these are all things you have to pay for. you don't have a choice. you have to have a place to live. you have to have car insurance. you have to pay your electric bill. then, when you go to the grocery store. if you want to buy eggs, they are up 75, almost 76%. cereals and baked goods, which

your kids like, 25%. increase in fruits and vegetables, which we like to feed to our kids, is up 14%. >> brian: last summer, they spent something like $40 million telling us that bidenomics was working and kamala harris said over and over again bidenomics is working. i can't wait for this revelation sodium pentathol tell us the truth what she really was doing as she was kept hostage the biden administration and those beautiful policies. also, you know, i love rocky. eggs and prices so high i haven't been able to have the raw eggs every morning really effected me. >> steve: how many. >> brian: three raw eggs. >> steve: i think rocky does five. >> brian: i will have raw eggs today but i have to cut back with inflation. >> ainsley: would cook them first no raw. >> brian: no, no, in a rush. >> steve: just protein. >> leather jacket and chin up bar in my lean to in

philadelphia. remember. 1976. look at the year. >> steve: rocky did it. >> brian: no skittle, rocky had no skittle. >> ainsley: five minutes. >> lawrence: i can't wait until the producers make you do a bit on this. >> ainsley: he says he does it. >> brian: just like getting up in the morning. >> steve: top of the next hour. >> ainsley: we can't afford to buy them. >> steve: raw egg. >> brian: i want two. >> steve: get two raw eggs. i am able to crack them expertly because i have written some cookbooks. and we will watch you drink it live on the air. that's the challenge. are you up for that? >> brian: yes. my hope is it will be one of those twins. split -- double yoke. >> ainsley: actual large? >> brian: because i need it i can't afford it. if i do it on the show can i write it off. [soundbite: yuck] >> two eggs raw and the big

challenge will be will they stay downed for one hour? >> ainsley: we will have a trash can on set and you might be calling off sick tomorrow. i hope not. speaking of eggs and high prices. kamala harris when she is on stage, this is what she just said a few days ago. she said she is fighting inflation and all of these high prices. those are her top priorities. she is going to take care of that on day one. she has had 1300 days in office so far. she is considering the first day she becomes president day one even though she has been in this administration. >> brian: impressive joe biden. >> steve: talking about eggs. donald trump was on our program last week. he was talking about bacon and high cost. here he is last week talking about inflation and how it's killing you and the administration they don't know what they're doing. >> and by the way, they had inflation the level which our country probably has never seen. you know, they say you go back 72 years. i think we probably never have seen inflation like that. it's and it's killing, the same people that he is talking about,

it's killing. inflation has destroyed their administration and they have no idea what to do about it. it's getting worse. and you had a crash the other day of over 1,000 points. it's a very bad situation that we're going. in we could end up in a depression if these people are reelected. >> lawrence: is he right though. you got a bunch of elected officials in kamala harris and joe biden that don't know how to run a business. they never run a business. and we'll talk about this later. if you are joe biden, used to the government being a part of your family business. they have no idea what they're doing. >> brian: put down elon musk and crump yesterday. do you know how many people they have employed. donald trump and elon musk. don't know anything about service. donald trump has -- i don't think he has gotten a dollar. lost billions of dollars since he ran for president. so i think if kamala harris is going to run -- i prosecuted corporations for price gouging, okay, if you are going to vilify corporations, the republicans have got to come back and go let me just explain to you these corporations, who they employ and what they have done. profit margin so low.

stop and shops going out of business every day. supermarkets having troubling making ends meet. they are not the problem -- >> ainsley: my problem is what is she going to do differently? she has had three and a half years? what's her plan? >> steve: apparently it's because she was a litigator, she is going to go after the prices are too high. they are fixed, and so she is going to go after them. >> brian: what about nicole? >> ainsley: then that effects all of us. when it's going -- >> brian: what happens going to help nicole? nicole says this economy is so bad. my husband and i are considering selling our house and living in an rv because we struggle to pay our mortgage. even groceries for just two people. i can't leave the grocery store for less than $200 with almost nothing in the cart. >> steve: that is terrible. david says my why of wife and i are on fixed income. the economy is killing can you say. we can't afford gas and groceries to last us all month. last month we ate corn on the cob for four days until we finally got our social security check.

it's miserable trying to live in this economy. >> ainsley: by the way trump wants to take -- he doesn't want to tax you on your social security check. >> lawrence: ainsley, elizabeth from your home state of south carolina. >> ainsley: she says we cannot fill up our gas tanks anymore. a little bit at a time as needed. grocery bill is now 1,000 to 1500 per month. i had to apply for food assistance for my children. my husband works all day and all night doing side jobs and extra work. >> steve: you know, it was the producer's idea to have you guys write us and tell us your personal story. because, when you put a number up on the wall. it says eggs up 75%. that's just a number. you're living it. and just the fact that some people are considering moving out of their house and into an rv to live in a parking lot because they can't afford a house anymore? is that bidenomics? >> lawrence: can we talk about how hue mill yaghtd that is for some americans worked their entire lives. >> brian: going backwards. >> lawrence: trying to live the american dream. they did everything right.

now they are having to fill out paper for government assistance. they don't want to do that they don't want to live off the government. they want it like it used to be. >> steve: they followed the rules. >> lawrence: did everything right and things were going well. then all their savings got depleted. the credit card debt is out of the world right now. now they have to apply for government assistance. that's sad. >> steve: sent us more of your personal stories. we'll just use your first name. we're not going to use your last name. send them to us at friends@foxnews.com. we would love to share more of them. >> ainsley: gosh. all right. that makes me sad. >> steve: it is. >> steve: it's a tough situation. >> ainsley: a fox news alert. a haitian migrant now in federal custody after being released on a low bond by a massachusetts sheriff's office despite being accused of child rape. >> steve: seems like we have stories like this every day. brooke singman is here with the latest details. >> brooke: low bond was just $500. boston ice agents able to track down the migrant on the run

since march after he posted that $500 bond. corey alvarez is accused of raping a 15-year-old girl while staying at migrant hotel in massachusetts. so he technically came to the united states legally in june 2023 using the biden-harris parole program. but once he was arrested, ice issued a detainer requesting custody but it was ignored because he was arrested in a sanctuary city. meanwhile, in the bronx, an illegal migrant from senegal is charged with raping a woman, accused of beating her and raping her on a new york city park bench. and, guys, this is the same old story. he was arrested by border agents last may but he was released without bail because the detention center ran out of space. he is now being held at refresh my recollection island on a $250,000 cash bail or a $750,000 bond. nypd sources tell us that in just the past two weeks, three sex crimes committed by migrants have been reported.

>> lawrence: should we do a quick poll and ask the american people, who believes that illegals who are in the country should be able to rape children and be out on bail and not be deported? not turned over to ice? is anybody in support of that? but apparently, some cities have decided that they are not going to tell ice that we have rapists that shouldn't be in the country. >> ainsley: this haitian migrant. is he 26 years old. he was arrested like brooke said march 14th. he was arrested for raping a child or accused of that. that's in march. then, in june 20 -- on june 27th. the county superior court refused to honor boston's immigration detainer, then released him on that $500 bond. then yesterday, on august 13th. deportation officers rearrested him. this happened back in march. >> lawrence: all the detainer would be is let us keep him in custody until ice comes to pick him up. and they refuse to do it. >> brian: they want to blame texas. texas only a small part of delivering buses.

other people coming in, pouring in. and the democratic mayor can't get a call back from the democratic president who has been iced outs because he spoke up and said this is not sustainable. $5 billion it's cost new yorkers. 5 billion. look at that 5 billion. and as you break it down. it's really insane. 500 million on administrative costs. 500 million on food and medical costs. 2 billion on services and supplies, many of which they don't like. and 98 billion on housing and rent. and randall's island kick them out after 60 days or whatever. though set up pup tents next door to the big tents not leaving. >> lawrence: should be illegal. >> steve: break it down how we are spending the money on the migrants, had the city had that money, we could have -- new york city, could have hired 40,000 new teachers, or they could have covered the entire cost of the new york city fire department and the san taping department, which is out on the streets every day. but, instead of paying all of that, it's now all about the

money. >> ainsley: you hear the big number. once you break it down and see how it really effects. >> steve: 40,000. >> ainsley: one out of every five hotels. many come to new york and love to come to the city. one in five housing illegal immigrants on your taxpayer dime. >> steve: they make more money. >> ainsley: yeah they do the government pays them. >> lawrence: new york just got this problem. just imagine how my home state of texas has been dealing with this for literally years. >> ainsley: some is federal money. >> steve: not enough. >> brian: one of the ripple effects of biden no longer running for president open season on hunter biden. asked the italy for help landing a deal with burisma of ukraine while his dad was vp. the "new york times" finally reporting this, quote: records indicate that hunter biden wrote at least one letter to the u.s. ambassador in italy in 2016 seeking assistance for the ukrainian gas company where he was a board member.

but, in 2019, then candidate biden swore he knew nothing about his son's overseas business dealings. >> i did not know he was on the board of that company. i have never discussed my business or their business, my sons or daughter's. >> i never discussed a single thing with my son about anything having to do with ukraine. >> i have never response with my son about his overseas business dealings. >> i have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses, period. >> brian: abbe lowell came out and said no meeting occurred. no materialize dollars. no request for anything in the u.s. was ever sought. only an introduction. nice spin. >> ainsley: hunter's lawyer tells the "times" that the meeting never happened. and the white house says that president biden did not know about his son reaching out to the embassy. >> lawrence: clueless. >> ainsley: who appoints these ambassadors? it would be barack obama and joe biden, their administration. >> steve: here's the thing, these documents have -- this

letter, this letter, which by the way, when the "new york times" got it, it was completely redacted. it was just completely blacked out. when the "new york times" got this, this so happened to be right after joe biden had dropped out. >> lawrence: coincidence. >> steve: apparently it had been withheld by the biden administration for years until the "new york times" did a foia request. a freedom of information act request. and they wouldn't give it. and then the "new york times" sued. so the "new york times" has been working on that, and that's how we wound up with this particular damning document. the department of state, which has been holding on to it says the timing is coincidental. which seems kind of fishy. >> ainsley: which ambassador? was this the italian ambassador to the united states? or was this our ambassador that was sent there? >> steve: our ambassador. >> ainsley: ours. so his dad's friend. >> lawrence: colleague at best. >> brian: communication like we are seeing now. should would he be doing this? i don't think we should be

giving this information. is this in our best interest? just like the text messages for barack obama's administration why is joe biden's son on the board of burisma when part of his portfolio is ukraine. >> lawrence: at the very beginning the obama administration, the white house counsel's office had warned joe biden that they shouldn't be doing. this this is not. >> brian: they knew nothing about it. >> lawrence: by the way the fact that they are openly saying this is just a coincidence that they decided to turn over the documents right after joe biden was no longer on the ticket, when there could be no political pressure on him anymore. and you guys believe that "new york times"? you really believe it was only a coincidence? >> steve: well, ultimately, brian, to your point about the embassy staff, them going i don't know if we can help him, we don't want to do that. it wasn't because they don't help businesses all the time. they probably do help grease the skids and stuff like that. the problem was the fact that joe biden was the vice president at the time. and it's like this doesn't look

good. we shouldn't be helping them. >> lawrence: i don't want to hear anything else about the trump kids. they were in business before they even got into the administration. if there was even a shred of evidence like this, there would be calls for investigations and all of that. he had no real business. he used his dad's to curry favor. can you as an average day businessman just call an ambassador and get them toe help you out? everybody knows it was only because his dad was the vice president. >> brian: actually eliminates you from doing it if your dad is the vice president. because it looks like duel use. >> steve: hats off for the "new york times" for getting the story. they sued for a while to get it. now we know joe is not running. >> brian: carley, if you didn't work here you could use our names to get tables and things now a conflict of interest. >> carley: i was thinking, brian would say carley's dad is not the vice president. i was trying to think it's like playing a game of chess. >> brian: practicing my awkward tosses. >> carley: all right. we do have a fox news alert to

get to here. we will dive right into it. authorities are search for a convicted murderer after deputies say he escaped law enforcement while they were transporting him to a hospital to receive medical care in north carolina yesterday. according to officers 30-year-old austin managed to free himself from his leg restraints and jump out of the vehicle. austin has been serving a life sentence for the murder of a 1-year-old on christmas day in 2015. orange county officials are offering a $25,000 reward to anyone who can provide information leading to his recapture. a new twist in the alex murdaugh case as the south carolina supreme court has agreed to hear arguments over whether he was given a fair trial. his lawyers claim there is evidence of jury tampering by the county court clerk becky hill who they say used his murder trial to promote her book about the case. murdaugh was found guilty of killing his wife and youngest son in 2021. he was sentenced to two life

staff patrolmen a few years ago. don't have the experience to deal with a situation like this. high mope is the few that are up there actually step in lou these officers to get involved. they just sphrind an officer two weeks ago for disarming an armed felon because the video went viral. that sends a message to the officers be careful what you do # # has them stand down. it's going to be extremely difficult to do the job they want to do when they are not sure if they really really have their backs covered. >> brian: four large groups parade permits. complaining they are not close enough. want to get closer to the actual arena itself. does that mean they're allowed to burn flags or joe biden in effigy whatever they want to do? are they allowed to do this stuff? is it going to be permitted? >> i'm sure they are going to allow them to do that kind of stuff they are not going to let them get close. perimeters pretty big. expanded them from where they were originally set up due to

>> janice: you got it. >> lawrence: thank you. today former president trump will rally with everyday americans in asheville, north carolina. kamala harris is nowhere to be found. sending her vp pick tim walz out on a glitzy fundraising run. after being in newport beach yesterday, he heads to denver and boston today with rhode island and the hamptons on the docket tomorrow. let's go off the grid with "fox & friends" co-host pete hegseth and will cain. so, you know, pete, one of the fascinating things i found is they have been very critical of donald trump and they have been talking about the crowd sizes as if they are not stealing his formula. >> well, of course they are. they would like to -- every politician ever that has seen the momentum and the movement that he has created would like to copy what he has been able to do. you can't. but here's the nice part. they are completely reliant upon a completely compliant press that will do their work for them at every turn. so, you want to explain away crowd size? do you want to explain away

policy positions? do you want to explain away lying about your military record? you want to explain away what happened in california. can you count on the a.p. and nbc. they will do it for you. and bubble wrap yourself in fundraisers where definitely on the grid, in the inside with the elite who will feed you exactly what they want. and then you massage your policy positions out to the real folks to make them look like donald trump's, which is what they have done. >> will: it's day 24, lawrence. it's day 24 since kamala harris has been the presumptive nominee of the democratic party for president and has said or given the press absolutely nothing no. press conference. no question, no interview. nothing. 24 days. pete used the term bubble wrap. you know, we begin voting and pete and i talked about this on "fox & friends weekend." we begin voting some states have early voting that begins in the first week of september. we begin voting in less than a month. and she is going to coast across

that finish line without ever having to answer to her policies or a single interview or question? it's insane. and by the way, just to put a button on this, lawrence. she has nothing, i believe. nothing public on her schedule today. >> lawrence: let's stick with insanity. can you imagine getting great media conch. i mean, literally letting you coast to the nomination with no votes. that not being enough. apparently kamala harris is editing headlines, this is what the a.p. has. vp harris, economic vision, lower cost and higher wages. then you got npr, harris will lower health costs, kamala harris will lower the cost of high quality affordable healthcare. the guardian writes vp harris fights abortion bans, harris defends repro freedom.
