the pandemic returning people back to the job sites in getting people back to work. we are going in the right direction. we still ablaze to go but we are going in the right direction. ashley: paul was with capital economic and economist who says the rate of the economy is growing and the jobs creation. it would take now months to reach where we were in february of 2020 and the jobs had been flattening. this report also not likely to move the federal reserve to make changes to monetary policy. ashley. ashley: edward thank you very much pretty good time to bring in the old albrini former chief of staff to president donald trump. we have spoken to you many times. it's great to have you here. let's talk about marty walsh labor secretary edwards point pointed his report. we have a lack of kids back in

school and extra federal benefits and it really is forcing, wouldn't say forcing that giving people the option to just date palm and more money than going to work. how does that put a drag on economy? >> it's pretty simple aslan by the way thanks for having me back. if you pay people not to work they are not going to work and if you want work something is subsidized at and a full out more and employment you pay people to be unemployed. the more interesting discussion will be over the course the next couple of weeks where we see the breakdown by the state maybe 25 or 28 states that stop the federal supplement and it's important that people know we aren't stopping unemployment. those dates are not stopping unemployment benefits raided the conditional federal supplement their stopping. curious to see how the job growth differs in those dates in the states and chose not to do that in democrats will say it has no effect on job growth and it will encourage people to get

back to work. fascinating to watch over the next couple of weeks who was right. ashley: all of this delaying i think the recovery of the economy and certainly demand has come back very strongly that the supply in the form of the labor market is really very slow to recover. when can we expect the company to start taking off so to speak? >> when i had my discussion with my democratic friends look we understand covid was a crisis that we understand it's different. we want to do $6 trillion with the stimulus and i want us to do less but reasonable people disagree on that. what can we all agree on? it was working before covid. more people working under president trump than anytime in history. unemployment amongst african-american and women was the lowest. if the democrats wanted to put those people back to work they

could go back to those policies but right now washington is more about politics more about getting a pound of flesh and giving things to labor unions. it's not about economics, it's about politics and that's why you see the economy slowly coming back. ashley: we will get into that more later but i want you to stay there and i want to talk about spending negotiations at the white house. president biden speaking once again with senators shelly moore capito trying to bridge their ongoing dispute over the infrastructure infrastructure there whatever you think of the structure is. blake perman live at the white house with the latest details. reporter: the phonecall between president biden in the top republican know she gator news and at shelly more capito happened this afternoon and all we got from her side was the conversation would continue with the phonecall on monday and the white house just within the last

minute put out a statement from the press secretary about the call. let me read it to you. the first time i've seen at ashley. the president talked to shelly moore capito and she conveyed a new offer from her group which consisted of a 50 billion-dollar increase in spending across a number of infrastructure programs. the president expressed his gratitude for effort in goodwill but indicated the current offer did not need his objective to grow the economy tackle the come climate crisis and create new jobs. he ended -- indicating we continue to engage a number of senators in both parties in the hopes of achieving a more substantial package then agreed to speak again on monday. translation there as you and i are saying this for the first time appears to be the republican offer came up in the area $50 billion but clearly you can take from that statement the president doesn't believe it is

a quote unquote substantial package or he wants a more substantial package so these two will speak again on monday. the time is clearly taking ashley as to whether or not an agreement can come together. the press secretary jen psaki was asked earlier today how much runway is left here and is it deal need to get done now was her response. >> he will have these discussions and their democrats and republicans are talking with each other and we'll engage with that as well and we will have a discussion with the range of interested leaders in congress about how we can come together to make a storied investment in infrastructure. >> i guess we will see monday what proposal are counterproposal whatever it is at this point. if the gap is too wide ashley. ashley: lay breaking news thank

you very much blake. let's bring back in mick mulvaney. i'm sure he was interested to hear all of that. the republicans raising their offer little by little dare i say $15 trillion, apparently not enough. where is this all headed? at. >> i think for the first time we are headed for a deal and i understand hava oppressed the most interesting thing happened overnight or at least we learned about it overnight yesterday or early this morning president ryden willing to take some of the tax increases off of the table. that's a very important signal what i think you are saying is that democrats are starting to -- they'll assume if they can't get a bipartisan deal that the democrats can do it themselves. what we are starting to see is the democrats realizing that's going to be difficult if not impossible for them to do for a variety of reasons. maybe they don't have enough democrats or the senate reconciliation rules don't accommodate infrastructure but fervor idea of reasons you are

seeing the language changed by the president and i think it opens the door for further discussion. yesterday or two days ago i would have thought the chance of a bipartisan deal was low and in the last 24 hours the needle is moving towards a smaller bipartisan agreement on this. ashley: overall red line i would imagine for republicans is no one doing no one doing of the 2017 tax cuts under the trump administration and that's going to be the waterloo isn't it? >> keep in mind that will happen anyway if they don't do anything. a lot of those expires the lib dem at rats might try to make your argument that even though the taxes go up on their watch -- but i don't think that's the red line. the combination of things with the republicans looking at what's good for you economy and i think if they can come up with a package that they are convinced doesn't do too much damage to the economy it might give the basis for an agreement going forward.

ashley: is it safe to say biden is coming more to the other side and i say that with not a great deal of conviction because he really has listened to progressive but he would get more done if he could just come a little bit more central. >> by the way think your dad is right. i don't begase doing it because they want to do it. he's doing it because he and the other leaders of his party have figured out they can't do it by themselves so it is a reluctance. it's not that they want to do a bipartisan deal. i think it's the only deal to be had in the better question is going to be do the democrats think the benefits from no deal and would they rather have the argument going into the midterm elections? that will be a fascinating dynamic. ashley: perhaps more optimism is ahead of the weekend. thanks so much met albany for joining us today. really appreciate it. good stuff. in response to record crime

ashley: stop building jails and put the money toward counseling and community outreach is the bid from congresswoman alexandra ocasio cortez to stop the surge in violent crimes nationwide. homicide rates in some of our larger cities are up more than 20% so far this year and all of this has gun sales hitting record levels. nothing surprising there. hillary vaughn is in arlington with the story. reporter: vastly these numbers showing the rising crime across the country and anybody concerned about safety and it is this year triggering a spike in gun sales around the country. just country. justin last last year shootings

in new york city up 77% and important shootings there compared to the year before up 120% and according to the trade a new site that tracks new gun purchases in 2020 gun sales were up 54% and the highest month for gun sales ever was in june right when rioting looting and -- the sports foundation says it's not hunting rifles that are driving demand but handguns use for personal protection was the top seller around the nation. they did a survey of retailers and asked them why customers are coming in. >> people were concerned about their personal safety and the ability of police to respond to a 911 call and the time in between when they'd have to be there on first responder. shops are having a hard time keeping inventory on the shelves

and things like ammo prices are going up. >> with that probably a 30% increase in sales over a year. there's a large percentage of new gun owners that never touched a firearm in their life. reporter: the national shooting sports foundation also says new gun owners are increasing as well. in a last year 8.4 million people bought a gun for the very first time showing that they didn't feel like they needed a gun before in the last year but something changed. ashley: e that really says something. hillary vaughn thank you very much in arlington virginia on gun sales. now this like these shunning honey is what one person says on refusing to make jackets for a texas oil and gas company reportedly because they did want to be associated with the fossil fuel business but there's just

one problem. >> 60% of all clothing fibers are made out of oil and gas. for north face it is 90% or more. so the north face is not only an extraordinary customer of the oil and gas industry but partners with the oil and gas industry. ashley ashley: great stuff. that was a campaign to highlight the ridiculous hypocrisy of north face not wanting to make jackets for an oil and gas company and who better to talk about this about how woke the world has become and american companies media chairman. this is just the latest example of how ridiculous its pacom north face not wanting to be associated with oil and gas. do you know how many products come from oil and gas and petroleum and so on? it's ridiculous. >> it is when you look at the

nylon plastics the fabric staysail couldn't survive without oil and natural gas so these people have to be called in to account for connecting the dots. where does the company get the energy to manufacture? probably oil and gas so they couldn't live without it and moreover when they talk about we want alternative energy let's look at what that means. if we replace oil and gas today with wind and solar we would have a 40% increase alone and lithium. that's another mining of graphite in not to mention kobold. this would rip up the earth's surface 20 five-fold increase in mining if you wanted to have wind farms everywhere and replace oil and gas. environmentally these alternatives are an environmentally unsound and unsafe and they use child labor for kobold and nephra at the

adults were so let's call -- connect the dots and call them out on the. look at the consequences of what you are proposing. ashley: why would a company think it's a good idea to make a statement like that? just a avid and do what you do best to make products that people like him by. i just understand that the highest levels of these companies they think taking a stand for a few woke people is a good idea. >> it's no cost cheap grandstanding and more and more people are going to be called into account on it. how do you make your product? do you want to go back to how they made rope 100 years ago? good luck with that. no fun in those old clothes. ashley: by the way we did reach out to north face for a comment and we have not heard back but before we lose you -- they are

losing face on this. ashley: i want to get your take on facebook suspending former president trump's account for two years and at some point they will reassess the risk from the events at the capitol. he is banned until 2023 from a social media platform. what is your reaction to that? >> why are they trying to make him a martyr? all it does is show -- it puts facebook in the crosshairs politically and someday they will pay a price for it. back in the day at&t used to be a legal monopoly in this country and they went out of their way to make sure everyone is happy. every paper in television station got adds in service was impeccable. these people like facebook should go out of their way to make sure all voices are heard instead of taking pleasure in shutting people down. in the most disgraceful way and

giving violent people like the iranians access this social media. i don't understand why politically they need the approval of all the public and back in the 1800's the railroad a lot of them thought they could affect attitude and that's how you got the first government regulations and to destroy the industry. why don't they learn? common sense. ashley: do they need to be reined in steve? i know you don't like government intervention but in this case do they need to be reined in? >> well it's going to happen. i don't like it but they are inviting it. talking about calling them common carriers and one thing i hope doesn't come back is the so-called fairness doctrine where you'd have to put every voice out there and we wouldn't have a rush limbaugh if we didn't get rid of the fairness

doctrine so these people are asking for trouble and i'm surprised they don't realize it's not just today but tomorrow they have to worry about as well. ashley: exactly right. great stuff steve forbes thanks for joining us today. thank you steve. one step closer defining out what is really out there. the details on the pentagon's highly anticipated ufo report. don't go away. it's next. before discovering nexium 24hr to treat her frequent heartburn, marie could only imagine enjoying freshly squeezed orange juice. now no fruit is forbidden. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn?

"fox news" is jennifer or for those at the pentagon with the latest. jennifer. reporter: as the a new highly

anticipated report to congress about ufos says there's no conclusive explanation for more than 120 incident of navy pilots who reported flying objects that seem to back the boundaries of cutting-edge aviation technology. senator marco rubio was among those who asserted language into president trump vlasto mandating report to congress on these ufos. >> we aren't at that stage in what we are saying is there are things that are not ours flying over military installations. we just don't know what they are and we need to know what they are. >> we have aren't more details above in a classified report expected to be released by the director of national intelligence later this month. the report concludes there is no evidence ufos are alien spaceships. the report says this is not some classified american technology that these u.s. navy aviators

have been seeing for the last two decades. some u.s. officials believe the ufos are potentially from russia or china and have hypothesized it could mean america's adversaries have -- the united states and the development of hypersonic weapons. they travel five times the speed of sound. other officials believe this could be equipment malfunction or mating u.s. jets may be decades old or radar systems. >> we take all incursions and for operating spaces seriously. so i mean like everybody else here at the defense department certainly we are taking the entire matter seriously. report that they report to root. >> with pentagon's help may disappoint ufo enthusiasts i am told by those familiar with the findings. the report is inconclusive. ashley. ashley: jennifer thank you very much. here now on nick pope the ufo

expert. it's all very frustrating isn't it? no hard evidence that there is cases that perhaps alien space just inconclusive. what is your reaction? are you surprised by this or is it just more of the same? >> i'm not surprised. this is pretty much exactly what i was expecting and it results in a situation where likely the answer is we don't know. they say they found no evidence of extraterrestrial activity but they also go on to say they believe neither have they ruled it out and today we learned that nasa is going to take an interest in this and investigate. i think this report should be seen not as the end of this but it the beginning. we need to move forward from this. ashley: we have all seen the video. how can you explain this ridiculous acceleration and

change of directions submerging into water, things that we don't have the technology to do. now according to jennifer support there she sang while there are those that suggest maybe the chinese or the russians or way out ahead of us with new technology. how like lee is that do you think? >> it's possible. again that's one reason why we must really redouble our efforts to find out what we are dealing with here and they think going back to your point about nasa that is key because i think it's going to be our telescopes and space tracking radar system for example that might be the key to this because we have all these things reporting the same thing satellite imagery infrared camera video. whether it's russia or whether china are extraterrestrial just saying we don't know is not good enough so hopefully the people in congress can get this report.

that's fine but we need to build on this and move forward and have a proper research and investigation program to get to the bottom of this. ashley: do you think in some respects into your point about the beginning of this investigation is this a watershed moment? we have the government technology that they don't know what this phenomenon is and we had to rip towards through the pentagon and at those by the way contain -- which should lead to more conspiracy theories but so many people have said they have seen ufos in brief seen the videos. this is encouraging for someone like yourself and looking into this for so many years that we are now at a stage where we are talking about it but are people making fun of it? >> it is encouraging, yes but i think the subject has come out of the mainstream and when i was first looking at this project with the british ministry of defense we treated seriously and

now yeah i'm very pleased that other people are and as they say we need to get over the last factor and have a serious conversation with the american people about that and push for some clarity. ashley: indeed and i look forward to that as does everyone else including yourself. nick pope thank you for chatting with us today. we appreciate it. thank you. stonewalling on threats. we are learning more about the investigation into the covid lab leak or lack of it. that story is next. seeing blood when you brush or floss can be a sign of early gum damage. new parodontax active gum repair kills plaque bacteria at the gum line to help keep the gum seal tight. new parodontax active gum repair toothpaste. oh, i've traveled all over the country. talking about saving with geico.

secretary of state mike tom taylor accusing the national institutes of health of trying to suppress his department origins probe. listen. >> it was thus ultimately who put up documents on janer 15 that demonstrate some of the central facts we now know that led to the overwhelming amount of evidence that demonstrates this probably did come from this for a legit lab. we overcame lots of internal bureaucracy to get there and lots of internal debate from nih folks who were trying to depress what we are doing at the state department as well. as the mac and other former state department officials says there were warnings from inside the bureau not to do a pro because it would quote open a can of worms. now the bipartisan problem solvers is is formally endorsing an independent division to investigate the very origins of the virus and here to talk about a cochair of that very caucus

republican congressman brian fitzpatrick from pennsylvania. thanks for taking time on a friday to chat with us about this. why is this so important how far do you think you can get considering that the chinese are probably the least easy people to investigate? >> it's a very simply ashley. 3.5 million lives lost and $30 trillion in economic loss worldwide permanent psychological and emotional damage to our kids. before i came in to congress i served in the intelligence community and it's not hard for me at all to connect the dots as to what's going on here. if you look at the three of that coronaviruses and the a sentry 2002 with sars one resulting in roughly 700 people dying and the host of the virus the hosts bat was found four months after. the second pandemic was merged from 2012 roughly 800 people died and the host that was found

eight or nine months after. fast-forward to 2020 covid-19 3.5 million lives lost no hosts bat and i suppose you aren't going to to find a desolate because the host is not in it that it's in the petri dish and wuhan institute of virulency. ashley: are you surprised evolving report stonewalling the investigation probably because the u.s. is indirectly the wuhan lap itself and would it surprise you that this happens? >> not at all. those of us who know china this is what china does ashley. they lie about covid they lie about currency manipulation and they lie about international property theft. that's what they do. they have no guardrails whatsoever which is why president xi in the current regime are so dangerous and we have to keep our eye on them.

this is very serious ashley and we have to take it seriously and i'm urging all of your viewers in the united states and the rest of the world to prove national convergence. quite to the contrary -- ashley: i'm sorry to interrupt what are you confident you can get to the very bottom of this and find out where the origin of this virus came from? >> ashley there's never going to be a smoking gun because that resides in one place and that's the wuhan neurology in that song complete lockdown. he used to be run by a civilian announce run by a military general. the guards are guarding every single entry there and it's on complete lockdown so what we have to do and the case will make to the world is all these circumstantial evidence the evidence that exists all points to one direction that is the lab leak from biomanipulated virus

systems that accidentally leaked in the criminal cover-up followed. ashley: we thank you so much for taking time to talk with us today congress and fitzpatrick. thanks again. much appreciated. joining us now marty makary a doctor doctor with johns hopkins school of medicine and public health and business professor andes by the way of "fox business" contributor. it's great to see you doctor. what is your take on this? do you think the evidence is growing that this may be a lab link? >> ashley at think the evidence has been there all along. i said in april of 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic on "fox news" it was an infected lab worker that went to the wuhan hospital that was patient zero. we have overwhelming evidence and that evidence is not going to change and it's not going to change with all the politicians posturing for a full investigation. we have got now everything we are going to get and i think the best evidence is google maps.

if you go to the google maps page and you put on the wuhan urology in the central hospital there a few blocks apart. ashley: it's going to be hard to get an admission out of china for sure but what can we learn from all of this? >> first of all we will never get the source sample. they've been destroyed i'm pretty confident of that. all you have to do is put together this circumstantial evidence. anybody who has worked in a lab knows lab workers can become infected with that pathogen. in 2018 and investigation by u.s. inspectors at the wuhan lab found they had atrocious conditions comparable according to one inspector to that of the dentists office doing high-level research. there is no animal source. and if not for lack of looking. we have looked at thousands of animal species and intermediaries and none have been found so i think we have

the information we have now and we need to treat laboratory science as a national security issue going forward. ashley: with regard to the pandemic are you confident it's in the rearview mirror? we have had waves and surges but are we slowly but surely putting out behind us? >> certainly the numbers do show that. public perception is lagging behind the numbers but right now the numbers of daily new cases are one 20th the numbers of daily new cases that the seasonal flu in the middle of the mildest flu season. it's time to get back to normal. we have always said we may get below 10,000 cases per 100,000 in dr. fauci said that himself. we are there and it's time to move forward. ashley: with regard to variants there seems to be at a variant popping up here and there. is there any concern that one of these could set us back or perhaps be more aggressive or is the current round of vaccines

will be able to handle whatever variant pops up? >> i think we eyes have to be vigilant about any new variant but we have had hundreds of variants and they've been studied and evaluated and in the real world clinical experience none have is dated the life protecting effective vaccines. thank god for the mra vaccines and the other vaccines. they are working perfectly and they are basically will approve against all variants in the key outcomes of death and serious illness. we need to stop the variant fear-mongering and give people what they deserve right now. as a what a great place to leave it with some optimism. doctor hairy thank you very much. 11,000 fans back in the stands in the first horse race since famed trainer bob baffert -- suspension. we are alive at the belmont we are alive at the belmont stakes, we are alive at the belmont stakes, we are alive at the belmont stakes, we are alive at the belmont stakes, some days, you just don't have it.

from the pandemic. lady is in beaumont new york with the story. lydia. hey ashley you can see some of the horses now taking their walk out for the start of another race day two of the belmont stakes the three-day event here. this is a battle one-hour race that just wrapped up. small businesses and fans alike are delighted to be out here because last year the races happened with no fans in attendance and they are expecting between 11 and 12,000 spectators at belmont tomorrow for the big race. the racing association says it's responsible for a lot of economic activity in the state with 19,000 people employed in jobs and they created more than $3 billion in economic impact in a typical year. i spoke with one small business the kentucky derby at belmont just this morning.

she explained just how difficult the past year has been in what relief she felt when she was able to attend the derby. watch this. >> it was like the floodgates opened after passover. we had less employees because we didn't know what we would need. a breath of fresh air from may end for my staff or it was wonderful. >> ashley while fans will be here in person tomorrow for the race day one person who will not be here as bob baffert because his temporary suspension by the new york racing association of he and his horses continues for now while they figure out what they are going to do and that is following the positive drug tests for his kentucky derby winning course medina spirit who is now banned from racing for two years. post time tomorrow for the belmont stakes 6:49 for anyone following along in the favorite

to win essential quality. ashley: lydia and that fantastic cat. how am i supposed to follow that? thank you very much. i'm going to bring in "fox news" headline 24/7 anchor who also does not have a have on. we couldn't match that if we tried. it's great to see an infinite great news we are finally getting people, people back in the stands in new york state. not just texas and florida, new york state 11,000 fans. you've got to love it, right? c new york is open for business baby. how great is it going to be? is going to look very different from other sporting events that have taken place in new york for the past several months as we have slowly emerge from our cocoon in new york city but is lydia mentioned there there's going to be a force missing because bob baffert eshoo said

his horse tested positive for a banned substance. remember back in the 90s when all the baseball players were doing steroids it feels a little like that. i have to call out our colleague who had lobbed effort on a couple of weeks ago after the second race in the triple crown and effort blamed cancel culture for why his force -- and i'm not sure where those two concepts overlap each other. i don't think cancel culture means you can fail a drug test. also this is his 29th force to fail at drug test in his 40 year career. that's like almost one a year that this guy has been ponying up the problematic course. ashley: very clever.

i want to get to you on this story. it's about people eating cicadas. they come out every 17 years and they get rewarded by being eat at people. what's going on with that? >> apparently i wasn't aware this and i don't have a very sophisticated pallet but apparently they are considered a delicacy. people are eating cicadas. the fda is telling people don't go over dort -- overboard. there are some what would you call them confectionary cicadas we will be discussing. bakeries are starting to use them and involve them in the treats that the treats at they make and people are actually eating them. i don't know if i could stomach something like that. is it the celebrity fear factor that we will put a jar of cicadas in front of you.

you would have to excuse yourself. hassan: i generally believe if it comes in chocolate theirs asa chance i would eat it back but when i look at that video is big red beady eyes and all of those legs i'm sorry there isn't enough chocolate in the world that would get me to eat that. we are out of time. thanks so much brett larson for joining us and now this after 5000 miles the largest cruise ship is arriving home. that's really huge. that's really huge. we i'm so glad you're ok, sgt. houston. this is sam with usaa. do you see the tow truck? yes, thank you, that was fast. sgt. houston never expected this to happen. or that her grandpa's dog tags would be left behind. but that one call got her a tow and rental...
