able to take the initiative, and he said the war was coming home to russia and that he vowed to kill the russian terrorists where they are and where they launched air strikes from. kursk, where this invasion is happening, is a key area where strikes happen. this list morale. both for the ukrainians but also it shows western allies that ukraine is a country still capable of putting a fighting force forward. it also means russia has to move thousands of troops away from other heavily contested front lines, and it may also put the ukrainians in a more favorable bargaining position in the event of any potential cease-fire talks. the ukrainian foreign ministry spoke on that recently saying, the sooner russia restore a just peace, the sooner ukrainian raids on russian territory will stop. the question is how putin will respond. he had said any kind of invasion into russian territory will be met really friendly, and the question is whether he starts going further after ukrainian city season using increasingly strong weapons to do so.
7:01 am
>> bill: benjamin, thank you. very interesting developments in that war. thank you. live in london. >> wages have not kept up with prices, so you have what i call the affordability crisis, where real wages are falling about 4% over the course of the biden-harris term. >> dana: prices consumer decline, consumer prices up to .9% as inflation remains a major issue for the economy, and americans struggle to make ends meet. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. it's also the news room. we news on things. >> bill: especially during the commercial breaks. as larry was saying, this is a biden-here's economy. how they defend it we are about to say, but she ain't talking. americans are drowning in debt and struggling to make ends meet as everyday goods get harder to afford. your prices. in the last year alone, except
7:02 am
19%. butter, 6%. folks from across the country saying it is bad for the pocketbook. >> i blame the federal government at this point. they are killing us without killing us. if you don't understand that. they are killing us without telling us they are killing us. they are hurting us in ways that people can't help themselves. it is either feed my child, or how about feed my children and i don't eat? but i have to go work. >> nowadays it is just hopelessness. because we don't know when this doom loop is going to end. >> i feel like everything the store has gone up substantially. >> dana: today's cpi report is the final reading on prices before mail-in voting begins, and both candidates are expected to outline economic proposals this week. former president trump said to make his case against the biden-here's economy today in north carolina. meanwhile we are still waiting for vice president harris to review her plans that could be
7:03 am
coming soon, not to mention where she stands on health care, energy, national security, former affairs, or any of the consequential issue are the ones she has flipped flopped on. full coverage, tom cotton sets on the joint economic committee. committee. aishah hasnie is on the campaign trail, but first let's go to the white house were edward lorenz is holding on the fort. >> president joe biden saying this inflation report shows progress on inflation, acknowledging prices are still too high and blaming corporations for greed and causing that inflation. for years under the biden-harrison administration the prices have been rising faster and beyond what people are making. the rise in prices still not acceptable to the federal reserve. the overall inflation dipped below 3% for the first time since march of 2021 when this white house was well into changing policies. >> in terms of the level of prices, people are still shocked by how high that is. in terms of the change in prices, that will continue to be coming down. but it won't come down to 2%
7:04 am
unless the fed is willing to risk a recession. it's more around 2.5% or closer to 3%. >> still, price pressures on family show and the credit card data. the total credit card debt hovering around a record $1.4 trillion, up 48% from the month president biden and vice president harris got into office. the magic people to lincoln on that debt, 9.1%, the highest rate the beginning of 2011. this shows the stress the administration would like you to ignore. >> we believe in the future that keeps america's economy the strongest in the world. that promotes both economic growth and economic fairness, where every person has the opportunity to compete, thrives, and prosper. >> we would love to ask the vice president about economic stances but she's not doing interviews as of yet. the federal reserve believes this report should basically
7:05 am
keep them on the path to make that first rate cut in september. back to you guys. >> dana: great to see you. want to get aishah hasnie now, in asheville, north carolina. hi, aishah. >> good morning to you both. i'm outside the auditorium where former president trump is going to take the stage in a few hours here. but as always, as usual with his rallies, folks come out here, supporters are usually out here hours if not the day before. i've been talking to folks behind me and you can see they are standing behind me. but walk with me over here, look how long this line is. it actually goes down about three blocks minimum, and hundreds and hundreds of people are lined up here for hours ahead of this rally before the doors open. i have been talking to a few people, they want to talk about the economy. they have been telling me how hard the economy and inflation has hit them at home, at their kitchen table, and that is exactly what the former president says he's going to deliver on today.
7:06 am
trump nearly won north carolina in 2020 but today he is rallying in a part of the state -- the county, actually -- that has gone democrat in every presidential race since 2008. north carolina is also one of those battleground states where the super pac maga inc. is spending $100 million now before labor day. as trump tries to refocus his strategy against a brand-new opponent where his former conservative opponents, the great state of south carolina, calling on him to stick to the issues. >> when things republicans have to do, quit whining about her. republicans need to be fighting for suburban women, for college educated, for independents, for moderate republicans, and conservative democrats. the campaign is not going to enact talking about crowd sizes. it's not going to win talking
7:07 am
about what race kamala harris is. it's not going to win talking about whether she is dumb. >> she is expected to swing through north carolina, as well, on friday. that is when harris is expected to unveil her economic plan. the harris-walz ticket says it's going to make building up the middle class the defining goal of their administration. but she's been getting a lot of flak for stealing the no taxes on tips policy first proposed by trump. in a memo, the campaign rights in donald trump's america the rich pay less and working americans pay more. vice president harris sees things differently and she's not afraid to take on powerful special interests on behalf of the american people. a lot of folks out here would disagree with that. they want to go back to where things were when former president trump was in office, and they cannot wait to hear from him in person when he takes the stage at about 4:00 eastern. back to you, dana. >> dana: thanks for being there for us, aishah. for more on this, tom cotton, from the joint economic committee. we can talk a little bit about that. we keep reading the stories -- i
7:08 am
just saw another headline about kamala harris reinventing or reintroducing herself to america. it does feel like the republicans need to figure out how they're going to define her in a race to define. here is nikki haley, one more inteclip from this interview wih brett they are bret baier last night.>> you dow from kamala harris. i take her at her word that she wants to raise taxes for households over $100,000, that she wants to add a pharmaceutical tax and health care attacks. i take her at her word that she think illegal immigrants should be able to vote. visit administration is kamala harris' administration. everything that has happened is hers. so define her that way. >> dana: how do you see it? >> dana, i think kamala harris owes the american people and ask the nation about where she will take this country. it is true that if you judge by what she said last time she ran for president xi wants to decriminalize illegal
7:09 am
immigration, give illegal aliens taxpayer provided health care, while taking away your health insurance on the job. those are things that she has said with her own mouth. she hasn't outlined a single proposal she hasn't stolen from donald trump. she hasn't told americans anything about how she would govern. i think it is most reasonable for americans to conclude she's going to be a san francisco liberal. that's what she's been her entire life. >> bill: tim walz hit the stump the first time solo yesterday. i'm going to play a clip here. j.d. vance and others are going after him with his military record, and with military background. i want to get your input. here's what he said about the attacks leveled against him. >> i'm going to say it again as clearly as i can. i am damn proud of my service to this country. [applause] and i firmly believe you should never denigrate another person's service record.
7:10 am
anyone brave enough to put on that uniform for our great country, including my opponent -- i just have a few simple words. thank you for your service and sacrifice. >> bill: so here's the rub that viewers are not up to speed on. in 2018 he said on gun control in america, we can make sure those weapons of war that i carried in war is the only place those weapons are at. that i carried in war. apparently he didn't get much further than europe, so it wasn't iraq or afghanistan. the harris campaign said he simply misspoke. now, will voters buy that? >> well, no. and tim walz is mr. preventing what j.d. says. he said he respects tim walz 'service as he respects all veterans 'service. it's not a question of military service, it is his own campaign's inaccurate and inconsistent statements about his military record. and tim walz to give the american people answers about that, not just speak it if few
7:11 am
vague generalities at a campaign rally. more importantly, again, kamala harris is the one at the top of the ticket, and she should give the american people answers about what she would do to help rebuild our military. after all, she said when she was a senator that she wanted to substantially cut our defense budget. that would be on top of the cuts that the biden-harrison administration has proposed. in addition, she should talk about what she wants to do as the commander in chief. every time she has spoken about national security over the last four years, she has questioned my belief that she can keep this country safe. i don't think she is prepared to be the commander in chief. look at what she said just a few weeks ago when benjamin netanyahu was in washington. she basically blamed israel for gaza -- the civilian casualties in gaza, emboldening hamas. and then you had more missile strikes in israel and they killed children there. at every turn she has undermined confidence that she can keep this country safe as the
7:12 am
commander in chief. >> bill: the body language with her and bibi when he was in town was really interesting to watch. senator, thank you for your time. >> dana: thank you. >> thank you, bill. thanks, dana. >> i think there's no question we have got to critically re-examine i.c.e. and its role and the way it's being administered on the market is doing, and we need to probably think about starting from scratch. >> bill: that was six years ago this summer. then-senator harris. she claims to be tougher on immigration. how's that going to go? the crisis is busting city budgets right and left. a new york city alone, housing and caring for migrants is now costing taxpayers about $5 billion. and next year the bill may double as hundreds more come in every week. alexis mcadams is live in new york city along with this in the price tag that comes along with it. >> $5 billion and counting, that's already shocking, that we are trying to keep track if we can about the recent migrant crime in new york alone.
7:13 am
with that recent spike, the nypd chief of patrol calling on the city to change its sanctuary laws in new york, telling us it is helping predators to hide in plain sight, something he's been telling fox news for months. watch. >> 200,000 migrants have come to the city. a small portion do not come here for the free american dream, but to prey on new yorkers. we have did have the opportunity, if they go through the system, to reach out to i.c.e. sick of this, as another migrant arrest is putting sanctuary laws back in the spotlight here. after investigators say daniel bonilla's 18 a woman in coney island, threw her to the ground and assaulted her. this is not his first arrest for sexual assault according to investigators. posting this on social media with a question saying, when will our sanctuary city laws be amended to allow us to notify federal authorities regarding the deportation of noncitizens convicted of violent crimes?
7:14 am
failing to act enables people like daniel bonilla to continue victimizing women in our city. as a migrant crisis continues, new york city mayor eric adams has the police have to have a working relationship with the feds. >> as you know, the laws do not allow us to coordinate with i.c.e. that is the law. i'm not happy about that, and i think he is the poster child of what is wrong with not doing that coordination. it is clear that he does not deserve to be in our city. >> just yesterday the woman who was sexually assaulted in coney island said she thought he was going to kill her. how much is the big apple spending on the migrant crisis? according to the city website, nearly $5 billion so far and counting, so a lot of unanswered questions here. bill? >> bill: the tab is going to go higher. alexis, thanks for being here today. >> kamala comes across as a
7:15 am
border security type of law enforcement candidate. she is not. our borders are open. we have human trafficking, gunrunning, drug card and come across an open border from california all the way to arizona and texas. she does not have the support of law enforcement. >> dana: one california shift calling on harris for spending and campaign messages, policies that do not support the southern border. she made her first trip back in 2021. critics say she didn't see first-hand the migrant crisis at its worst. remember, we have had democrats from that area who said they could never even get a call back from the white house on this. >> bill: it'll be an interesting moment, and regardless the rubber is going to hit the road. >> dana: we are going to get you to this, the hidden hand of the harris campaign now unfolding in their ads on google. as the democratic ticket quietly editing news headlines to
7:16 am
display glowing coverage? >> bill: good question. and what will iran do next? another great question, calling a lot of shots across the middle east. are the biden-harris policies giving tehran room to maneuver today? >> dana: and will banning cell phones in school help our kids get better at learning and test scores? the latest on a nationwide crackdown ahead. >> i had very difficult interactions with students who answered phones in the middle of class, who didn't want to put them away. i think legislation banning the use of cell phones during the school day is fair. out of control. get a newday 100 va cash out loan at lower mortgage rates to pay off those high rate car loans. psoriatic arthritis symptoms can be unpredictable. one day, your joints hurt. next, it's on your skin. i got cosentyx. feels good to move. feel less joint pain swelling and tenderness back pain and clearer skin

7:20 am
7:21 am
>> we are going this way. you guys have close the interest. we are ucla students. have my i.d. right here. i am being blocked off not by the security guard, but by you
7:22 am
three. they are making -- this is what they do. everybody look at this. i'm a ucla student. i deserve to go here. we pay tuition. this is our school, and they are not letting me walk here. >> bill: those were pretty heady days back in may and june. that was ucla and california. it could be a thing of the past. a federal judge ruling that ucla cannot allow anti-israel protesters to block jewish students from either going to class or reaching other parts of the campus. that is a milestone, amongst the first time a judge has ruled against the university over those protesters. that is since they broke out in campuses earlier this year. we'll see how it goes when the kids come back to class. all right, ms. dana? >> dana: bill, it is back-to-school time, and that means back to the controversy about phones in the classroom. his been process that my progress. take a look at this. even in elementary school cell phones are problem, 6%. not so much, but in high school, 72%. we have been harping on test
7:23 am
scores for our high school students across america. this is a problem. you can see it is kind of a new problem for teachers and principals who have to deal with it. look at the increase just in ten years. you have a huge problem there. there is a change coming. a lot of schools are thinking, should we disband phones altogether in the classroom connect some parents want it, some teachers want it, even some kids wanted. minnesota, indiana, ohio, south carolina, florida, louisiana all taking action, even the school district of los angeles thinking about doing that. so there is progress ahead, perhaps, all of this. let's talk to you middle school principal who took cell phones after classrooms. how distracting headphones become to the teachers and other students in the classroom? >> it is incredibly distracting. the phone is buzzing into pockets all the time, and a lot of times it was their parents texting then. they're already up against the
7:24 am
tiktok mentality and having to do so many different things to keep students engaged, that this constant buzzing in their pocket was really distracting to them. >> dana: and did you find that she was driving the discussion, mostly, about taking the phones out? the teachers are the parents or the students themselves? >> it was a combination. when we are talking as a staff about how to help our students, a lot of the things is the student was having a fight or someone was texting and being mean, or videotaping. it all came back to the cell phone. whwhen he talks first with teachers and then brought students in, and parents have always been part of our stakeholders that we connect with, i was so floored by the students that were like, it's really distracting and we need to do something about it. i'm trying to pay attention but my friend is texting me, and it was a great conversation to have with students. so it was an all-hands-on-deck, and we were pulling together to
7:25 am
help students. >> dana: i used to pass notes a lot, so i can't imagine if i had text. it would probably be bad. he's another reason why. students with electronics are falling behind. educational psychology journal saying students who had phones or laptops present while being taught a lesson scored 5% or half a letter grade lower on exams than students who didn't use electronics. you think you will see some immediate impact from this? >> we been doing this for two years now and we want 200% have trade we have seen a marked drop in our fights, destruction of property. back when tiktok was telling kids to rip things off the wall, when we stopped having them bring it to the bathroom, they stopped doing it. we have definitely seen an increase in the engagement in our classrooms. we take a multipronged approach. one, we take the cell phones out during instruction time, that we are engaging students in more authentic project-based learning, things that will make them better critical thinkers and problem solvers, and
7:26 am
engaging them in how thinking is cool and fun and you can do it without a phone. we have also changed how we do our teaching with respect to not always using computers. computers are great, technology is amazing, that you can also use a pen and paper, and there is some stuff that backs up fine motor skills, the whole pen and brain connection. so we have been trying to come at it at all sides. speech he would hear from principals across the country you want to do this, but there is resistance from the parents? >> sadly it is sometimes from the parents, and i think a meeting this year in connecticut we talked about it and different groups had different pushback from parents. "i need to have access to my kid all the time." that's why think a balanced approach comes in. our students are allowed to keep their cell phone on their person, they have to have it in a backpack, or we bought all of our teachers sown caddies. so it's with that in case of emergency. however, they just can't use it during instruction. part of it is communicating with
7:27 am
or educating parents and supporting them. how do i get this out of my hand? my advice as you say no. it's a complete sentence. you are the one paying the bills, especially middle school. they don't have jobs. so take ownership, here are the benefits to you putting a way that cell phone. but also as adults we need to do that, because we are the models for our students. >> dana: on our show we have someone close to us he was a teacher and it's her first day in school without phones. so we are hoping it goes well and we will report back. great to have you on the show. thanks for coming on. >> thanks so much for having me. >> dana: take care. >> i think there's going to be plenty of time to analyze what has happened and what has taken place in the context of the withdrawal from afghanistan. but right now we are singularly focused on evacuating american
7:28 am
citizens. >> bill: heady days, august of 2021, three years ago today. the taliban marking that day since it took control of afghanistan after the biden team tragic exit. and all of our military equipment, they are showing it off. the role the vp played at the time, still a bit of a mystery. we will look into that coming out momentarily. and a major crackdown on masks. a first in the nation ban into law, facing backlash with some residents. what they are saying now

>> dana: fox news alert, and this, the united states talking tough on iran, warning the regime against attacking israel. recent publications show that tehran might actually be taking advantage of the biden administration's policies. gillian turner has been taking into this. she is live at the state department for us. >> good morning, dana. divided administration right now
7:34 am
believes if they can ink a cease-fire deal between israel and hamas this week, they just might be able to stave off a major kinetic attack by iran against israel. take a listen to the president. >> we'll see what iran does and we'll see what happens. but i'm not giving up. >> do you have the understanding that iran could stop doing an action if a cease-fire deal as possible? >> that is my expectation. we will see. thank you. >> right now, though, hamas is not biting. their refusal to show at the cease-fire negotiations and the iranian regime meanwhile busy hacking of the and trump campaigns. >> we are continuing to stress the importance of de-escalation and not partaking in any activity that would be viewed as destabilizing or causing greater insecurity.
7:35 am
>> former president trump's allies say that message i is -- >> iran is very capable. they have the capacity to do precisely the kinds of things a rush do. they can begin to shape public opinion as much as anything else. we saw the reports of the hack of the trump campaign. we should this to continue. >> officials insist they have delivered a warning here and that they have definitely got enough leverage to keep iran at bay. >> it should be very clear to iran that escalation is not in their interest. >> secretary of state tony blinken making an unusual move yesterday when he condemned israel's national security minister for a controversial visit he made to the temple mount. traditionally, with close allies like this, decisions at the senior level of the foreign government are considered the purview in the internal affairs that government, and the u.s.
7:36 am
especially, the state department will stay hands-off. >> dana: gillian turner, thank you. >> bill: still with us in this studio, fox news contributor. great to see you in person. usually through the monitor, so thanks for being here. we look at the story every day. what is iran waiting on? >> first of all, thanks for having me today. i think they are scared to death. when it first started i said they're going to come back hard, and as the days and now the weeks have gone by, the israelis have a policy on escalation, and it's a suburb of beirut. that is where hezbollah was located, and they just leveled it. they have always believed in disproportionate escalation. so they have realized they really can't do ground invasion like we saw for the yom kippur war against israel. it's got to be rockets and missiles, hezbollah and iran both. they have to consider that
7:37 am
israel will come back and is proportionately reattack them. what i mean by that, you have to look at him and say to him, we may come after the supreme leader or your nuclear sites are at risk. i think what you are seeing right now is iranians going, i don't know if this is a good idea to respond. the new president of iran has told the supreme leader, this may not be a good idea. what they may end up doing is the same thing they did to us, after we killed c18. he told them, if you kill an american nonresponse, we will kill the supreme leader. we told him that. some people had concussions, but nobody died. and then they say the same thing, maybe we shoot these missiles in the dirt. because if they kill civilians and they hit tel aviv, which they are able to do, or a major military facility, then i think what the israelis are going to do -- and they should -- is escalate disproportionately.
7:38 am
that's what we did in the trump administration and it's what i believe they should do, as well. the movement of u.s. forces has nothing to do with escalation. that has us trying to tell the israelis, we've got your back. i don't think they trust us at all, the israelis. they would handle it on their own. >> dana: everyone is looking at the clock. iran is looking at the clock saying they need to respond, but we also know, according to this report from last month, iran has undertaken activities that better position it to produce a nuclear device if it chooses to do so. israel is looking at another clock, which is ours. our political campaign, and who is going to be the commander-in-chief. have to make a calculation as to, do they want to deal with that problem now or later? >> this is one of those -- we were always concerned about a nuclear break out by the, and that is where it's appointive action, action, the iran nuclear deal. that had a sunset provision and that that they could do whatever they wanted to do. what we are saying is don't go
7:39 am
toward a nuclear breakout. it was only about 5%, commercial grade. they are heading up 90%. you get to that, your weapons grade. you know this from being in the white house. you treat a nuclear power significantly differently than a nonnuclear power. you never want them to get to that point, so deal with it now. >> dana: but wouldn't we rather the israelis deal with it? >> absolutely. >> bill: three years ago, right around this time, we were reporting on the c-17 rolling down the runway in kabul. the former president said it was the most embarrassing moment in history of the u.s. military, and maybe for the u.s. government. kamala harris was asked about what her decision-making power was within the administration, and this is what she said, aprin cnn. >> afghanistan.
7:40 am
were you the last person in the room? >> yes. >> and you feel comfortable? >> this is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage. >> bill: how will she explain her role on this? >> she said she was the last one in the room talking to president biden. so is vice president pence. that meant she had the last say, whether you disagree or agree with that going forward. when we were handling the afghanistan ordeal we were going through, president trump had the chief of the taliban at the time. i was in the oval office when they did it. it had to be translated. i remember listening to this going, how is this being translated? because he was basically telling him what he was going to do if he violated. after that call, not a single american was killed in afghanistan for the entire year. we set up in agreement, and president trump got them out of the pakistani jail.
7:41 am
he went to imran khan, the prime minister of pakistan, and said we needed him to help us get through this deal, condition-based. it would never have happened. it would never happen on our watch. because you have this joint agreement. we are not going to withdraw our jeeps or leave the airbase. they walked away from the deal, they walked away from afghanistan. because of that, 13 great americans lost their lives. by the way, a quick shift, when we talk about what's happening today, there are still americans who are hostages. we never talk about that. i don't know why. >> bill: there was video earlier today from kabul, they've got our agreement on parade. they invited the iranians and the chinese to come watch. thank you for your time. >> the next 9/11 is not going to be planes hijacked, it's going to be somebody that crosses over our southern border and targets innocent americans. we are going to look back at
7:42 am
that moment and react in horror. how in the world that we allow this to happen? >> dana: also this, the biden administration biden administration are reportedly fast tracking citizenship requests, but the timing is raising some questions. plus the harris-walz campaign is spinning headlights to give the ticket gluing coverage. martha maccallum is on that next. >> you are clicking through to propaganda they already like. this is next level media coverage for this campaign. >> they scream aboutbet misinformation while committingl misinformation. dang it. urghh! when they do, tide's got you covered. —looking good, man. —learned it from you! it's got to be tide.

them in google ads. martha maccallum is here, nice to see you. ready for chicago, right? and we'll save that for a moment here. the trick was we will make it like an ad and reframe the headline so that when you are searching maybe you see the spot, he read the headline, but maybe you don't understand that it is actually sponsored by the campaign. show it, guys. here we go. they cited cnn, npr, reuters, associated press, the guardian a lot, and you would see this as you were going your internet search. that's cheating. >> wow, it is. this is really -- i should point out that google says there was a glitch in their system, that some of the barriers they tried to put into make it clear what this is weren't working. oops! i wonder if it was true for other campaigns, as well. we don't know that yet but they are looking into it. just as an example, this is a
7:49 am
guardian headline. "vp harris fights abortion bans. harris defends reproductive freedom." those things are true, that's a factual statement, that is something she backs and supports. then they have a discussion under the headline. there's a headline when you read a news story and then there is an under headline that you read in a new story. but it says this. "vp harris is a champion for reproductive freedom and will stop trump's abortion bans." so the second line in what looks like a new story is actually a campaign slogan, a campaign statement. and people -- we look at so much information, take in so many things so quickly throughout the day. this is very subtle, very manipulative. in a moment where you also have a stepped up threat from iran, trying to get there bots into all this and influence people in ways that are subtle and difficult to figure out, i think this requires a lot of diligence on the part of people who are looking for this information. >> bill: and google says what,
7:50 am
they caught one by the goalie? >> they said they were supposed to be more disclosure, that this is a campaign ad, and they are going to work on it. >> dana: it makes me think of the one "washington post" reported in the briefing room on the day before elon musk and donald trump are going to have the conversation. and he says, "is the white house doing anything to stop this conversation because it's going to be so filled with disinformation?" that the conversation you can listen to and decide. but this is actually changing -- plus, her coverage is so good, you would think it would be happy enough with the headlines they have. >> but they are obviously working hard to get these subtle messages into different places. most of these news organizations have no idea that there articles are being used in this way and manipulated. just as an example, if we do an interview and we take a sound bite, we have sat with someone, you can't pick out certain parts and move it to other places to misconstrue the meaning, or to put in meaning that wasn't something that
7:51 am
person said. you have to -- and the musk-trump interview is a perfect example. it was straight on through. anyone who wants to listen, you listen. but this is manipulative. >> bill: my sense is, unless the media comes around, and i'm not expecting them to, he's not going to look very good at the end of this campaign. we are seeing stuff that is so obvious. day today. >> and that trend has continued, very sadly, because the initial egregious behavior was the complete ignoring of what was so obviously a decline for the current president, and concerns about whether or not he could serve another four years. those things didn't start to break apart until we got to see with our own eyes what happened on june 27th. suddenly george clooney is writing up ed's saying, oh, my gosh, he has to go. the press is under a tremendous amount of scrutiny. perhaps they should be under more scrutiny based on the way they are handling this. it's not good for the american people.

>> dana: katie couric wrote an op-ed about the decision to replace norah o'donnell of two male anchors. she said it's a bad idea because you need a woman's perspective. but i also thought, yes, and also, what about the fact that you have some of these biases? like the headline on cbs news about the tax on tips policy. and it was two different things. there's a lot to be concerned about that we'll hear more about it on "the story." because it is incumbent on people, and it's hard to look clearly at these things. but don't be manipulated, and listen to both sides. watch us, watch everyone else. >> pay attention. >> that the reason people are turning to fox news more and more for these big events, because we are giving them a fair look at what's going on out there. >> bill: see you at 3:00. >> dana: and see you in chicago. >> we will see you in chicago in a few days. >> dana: from mandates to bands, why a city in new york is blocking people from wearing masks in public, and some residents are upset about it.

>> harris: take her at her word. that is what nikki haley is saying about kemal harris on the far left positions kamala is now running from. american still crushed under high prices including food especially. it's now below 3 percent for the first time in three years. it's been especially slow and painful, the policy is under the biden and harris administration. plus the kamala harris campaign is blown up actual news headlines and posting them on google. they are making themselves look better. critics say they have big questions on ethics with this. steve moore, jason chaffetz, dr. marty makary. "the faulkner focus" at the top of the hour. >> bill: harris, see you in a few minutes on this. east of manhattan where a law banning face masks in public is now being signed into law. for more, hey, nate, good morning.
7:59 am
>> hey, bill, good morning. bruce blakeman is making some comments right now before signing that bill into law. and as soon as he does sign it, it is effective immediately. it will make it illegal in nassau county to hide your face. however, there are some notable exceptions for religious or medical reasons, but we spoke with blakeman this morning and he tells us, this is all about public safety. listen to this. >> why will we allow people with masks to harass people and engage in violent acts whether it's graffiti, whether it is some kind of other act of property damage or anything else? >> new york governor kathy hocul is considering a mask ban as well after anti-semitic sentiments on the new york subway, not everyone is happy about this new law. >> it is very clear that you have chosen to participate in a culture war.
8:00 am
>> so this woman got kicked out of a nassau county meaning after lawmakers voted for the masked man, the ny clu put out a statement saying "such bands impart to new york's safety, and show racially biased enforcement and undermine protections for those engaging in peaceful demonstrations while expressing political opinions that may be unpopular." so it's notable you won't be arrested for wearing a face mask. police will have to discern the intent behind the mask and to figure out if it is religious or a medical exemption. >> bill: interesting development, first in the nation of its kind. thank you, nate foy, nassau county. >> dana: a shipwreck off of the coast of sweden, 100 bottles of unopened champagne, dating back to the 19th century, but no one can touch it. and it's going have to stay. uncorked. here's harris faulkner. >> harris:
