i tried to put words together. this is it. this is -- i don't know completed show but this is what -- >> we have to bring back lawrence. pete: let's do it again tomorrow. 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. ♪ ♪ neil: all right a low me to add two sents, rachel, has been here a long time, i don't know in the warmth is going on in the g7 in cornwall, england, we do there's a lot of warm on joe biden maybe because they are all on the same kind of spending page and that could be worry down the road. we are looking at an overall

group committing behind global minimum tax. spend more to address climate change where the u.s. will be leading the spending effort and last but not least the move out of congress yesterday that as overwhelming support in europe, big crack-down on some of the biggest technology companies on earth. they're all of america. what do you make of that? happy everybody. i'm neil cavuto. a lot on the plate including hearing from the president of the united states with -- emanuel macron, they are on the same page on spending commitment, going after big companies, companies that might be avoiding the taxman. so very few differences here. maybe over out with russia and less so with china. i want to get to benjamin in cornwall, maybe can update us on how things are going, hey,

benjamin. >> good morning, neil, day 2 of g-1 underway and busy day for president biden. he has a number of bilateral starting with president macron and round tables he'll be taking part in. and 3 main themes coming from the g7 at least from president biden. the first is climate change, the second is the recovery from covid and the reversal of president trump doctrines. last night president biden spent -- time with leaders in g-7. ahead of their bilateral today. top of the agenda, as it has been all summit is the global recovery from the pandemic and in the eyes of boris johnson the post-pandemic world is greener. >> i wanted to be sure that we are beating the pandemic together and discussing how we

will never have a repeat of what we have seen but also that we are building back better together and building back greener and building back fairer and building back more equal and in a more gender neutral and perhaps more feminine way. >> one of the big issues, of course, 15% global minimum corporate tax rate. proponents of that say it will bring in $500 billion over the next ten years, they'll stop the race to the bottom but critics say it's a big problem. i think we have president biden coming up live now. ly throw it back to you, neil. neil: all right. we do need the president of the united states, one-on-one meeting with emanuel macron and spell out where we stand right now and spoke on how to get more vaccines across the world. >> i think it's great to have

u.s. president very willing to cooperate and i think that what you demonstrated at the leadership is partnership and -- and we do appreciate and -- >> i think we can do a lot too. the united states has said before, we are back, the u.s. is back. we feel strongly about the cohesion of nato and i for one think that the european union is an incredibly strong and vibrant entity that has a lot to do with the ability of forcing europe to not only handle its economic issues but provide the backbone and the support for nato and so i -- we are very supportive, very supportive. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you, guys. >> thank you, guys.

[inaudible conversations] >> thank you. [inaudible conversations] mile neil all right, they weren't going to say anything or answer any questions, emanuel macron not taking the bait either. my worth french. again, you talk about the leaders being on the same page right now. remember when president trump would go, he reminded the neighbor nations that he had bills and would hold them accountable and able to get a lot of money raised and try to even things out for nato but i don't believe there's that

public push, maybe it's happening behind the scene, but we do know they're more in sync, helping poor countries, not much accountability into that aid except when it comes to vaccine relief. now the latest push for global minimum corporate tax of 15%. he's on board with that. the leaders seem to be on board with that and last but certainly not least the concerted effort to crack down on the biggest technology companies on the planet including google, amazon, am and facebook, all american concerns where there's a bipartisan push in congress to rein in a little bit and push on the part of europe to do what they've been doing for years, going after year more than a little bit. let's get kristin, former state department official. they are in sync kristin, they are all in sync, i'm wng who is paying for this all in

sync. >> right. one thing that president biden has done, you switched as you alluded from a president who wanted them to meet their obligations, their own promise to spend 2% on gdp on defense and trump also pushed them at least verbally on trade reform. germany has higher tariffs on american cars than we have, for example. he didn't actually do anything specific as far as tariffs because he didn't want a fight a two-front war but with tech this is a problem and i don't know if tech's legions of analysts and lobbyists have incorporated this. they all tend to come from the left and not realizing that are sort of out of friends on both sides of the atlantics. usually it's the republicans standing up for american corporations and i think you see the wind come out of those sails in washington. and so when you see, yeah, they are going to talk about climate change and boris johnson talking about feminism and climate change together, it was very odd but with sticking at the tech,

you might see convergence. neil: it's interesting because european countries have been going after american tax quite some time, especially huge settlements, google, all said and done, half a trillion dollars worth, but that is -- it's just the tip. they want -- they want more. whether they go so far as to want to break them occupy, bipartisan push on capitol hill, we do know the democrats and republicans are very different reasons have their agitations with these big companies that they abused the privilege. i'm just wondering how widespread the view is. >> that's the big question and the big question of whether it will be this congress in the u.s. or perhaps the next one that actually passes some very significant legislation. you know, in the near term there's the issue where europeans are looking at american companies making just -- just bulk loads of money selling lightal licenses, mobile

ads and are being quite creative about the jurisdiction where the income is made. obviously the europeans are saying, listen, the users, the targets of all of this e-commerce are here, so taxes should ensue and the question of whether it's income taxes and something on revenue. back in the u.s., you're right, democrats are little less concerned with left-wing censorship of conservatives by social media but there is sort of a growing consensus that the amount of political power, the amount of business power that these companies have and recently a bill introduced that would say, listen, if you sell a service, you can't -- for example, at amazon, you can't make your own products and sell them on your platform. you can be a platform or you can be a seller, you can't be both. neil: all right, christian thank you so much. christian former state department official. i wouldn't call necessarily a love fest going on in cornwall right now but closer than we've

seen in a number of years. this begs the issue that comes back and forth and i watched the summits over many years, i just believe that by in large european leaders prefer democratic presidents than republican presidents. not all of the time. they grew to really love ronald reagan and they grew to respect donald trump, certainly george w. bush, but by in large, democratic presidents get a lot more attention and praise certainly judging by the praise and some comparisons to show you on the segment, what was boris johnson said, breath of fresh air when boris johnson was a big fan of donald trump. whether it extends to other thornier issues, let's get to our panel, charlie gasparino and elizabeth. elizabeth, you're looking at this and i guess should we like

that the europeans like this president? should that mean anything? they see it as a breath of fresh air and they saw donald trump as a thorn on their side and you could just as easily argue that was a constructed thorn on their side because he brought these issues to the table and urged them to put more money on the table. what? >> the point of an american president is to stand up for our country, our values, our beliefs, the future that he wants to build for us and i'm very hopeful for joe biden and this presidency but i really hope that he can win over the trust of all americans and not worry about the trust of those overseas. neil: charlie gasparino, you have been monitoring this as well particularly now this crack-down on tech companies that sounds a lot like the crack-down that europe has had

on these same tech companies. seems the world is going the european way. charlie: this is a globalist love fest out there and the american people should be worried. i'm no big fan of big tech. i understand its problems. i understand its privacy issues and understand the bias against conservative thought. obviously, you know, you saw what happened with senator ron johnson being banned from youtube or uploading youtube videos over remarks he made about hydroxychloroquine, a lot of views on hydroxychloroquine deterring for covid. that said, you know, these are american companies. they are the reason why a lot of americans, average americans have increased their wealth during the covid pandemic, because they invest in these companies. if joe biden is just going to have a love fest with the guys

and screw american companies because europeans want us to do, i mean, that is really bad for america and even trump, i believe, who had no love for big tech would not allow that to happen because he knows that these are american companies. neil: do you think, does it make a difference to you if the european press finds this u.s. president more to their liking than the last president, should that matter? >> i mean, it shouldn't matter but you know that joe biden is going to run with it as much as he possibly can because in order to kind of get his agenda through he realizes that he can't get it on his own. they love using the word international community, the other countries agree with me. they try to use the buzz words to push agenda through. we should be looking at our own

interest first and not the rest of the world. i also think it's interesting because this is the g-7. we need to go to g-20. we have to go to china and india and more. they're going to take more away from american people, the american companies and biden wants to increase corporate tax and can use this additional pressure, hey, the other companies are going to agree with it as well. it's about him pushing his agenda, but, no, bottom line is i don't care what the other countries think about our country. no. neil: all right. guys, thank you very much. by the way, gun has touched on it the race to the bottom that stops right now, president biden in g-7 putting stamp on maybe getting race to the top where the floor start at 15%. we will explore the back and forth on infrastructure. in case you think that is done,

there's a bipartisan push, equal number democrats and republicans pushing something right now that might -- they hope to both party's liking and still get approve but it's a big one.

believe deal between congress and the white house on an infrastructure package. still leaders from both parties say they are hopeful that congress will be able to send something to the president's desk eventually. a group of ten senators unveiling their own plan calling for 1 trillion-dollar of spending but would not raise the corporate tax rate and spend significantly less money that you know what the biden administration was pushing for. an administration official said on thursday, quote, questions need to be addressed particularly around the details of both policy and pay fors among other matters. senior white house staff and the job's cabinet be work with the senate group in the days ahead to get answers to those questions. the senators involved say they are presenting plan to fellow lawmakers. house is working on their plan. mcconnell urging to work with republicans and not push forward

any package down party lines. >> we haven't given up hope to reach a deal on something weren't for the country that we really need to accomplish and that is a major infrastructure bill and done on a bipartisan basis. >> now the white house was hope to go see major progress on its proposals by memorial day but, of course, the deadline has come and gone. some democrats don't want the white house to wait any longer when it comes to negotiateses. they want to get a bill to the president's desk even if no republicans sign on, neil. a lot of talk about how long the negotiations will keep going at this point there's still on but anything can change. neil. neil: got it, mark, thank you great reporting, my friend. mark meredith on all of that. we will keep you posted. fox first for you, two key players in the problem-solver's caucus, equal number of republicans and democrats who try to find ways around maybe the extremes in each party to cobble together a deal. they're here and only here next.

neil: all right, they are call the problem-solver's caucus, democrats and republicans, they try to get something done. there's a concept and they have a plan, alternative on, well, infrastructure that could satisfy both sides. a little too early to tell but they are trying here exclusively with us two key members of that committee. we have congressman brian fitzpatrick, republican from pennsylvania, problem solver's caucus cochair and california democrat scott peters. gentlemen, welcome to both of you. thank you for taking the time. chairman, if i could begin with

you on what this plan involves and how different it might be from the republican plan that the president essentially rejected. can you update me? >> sure, neil, thanks for having us. we have a very simple motto, we would rather get 80% of something than 100% of nothing. we looked at the republican and democrat proposal. we saw the criticisms were from the opposite party and we tried to put something together that obviously nobody is in love with, neil, that's the whole point of compromise, sort of essence of caucus. nobody is in complete love with the plan but everybody is okay with it and that's the only way that you get bipartisan compromise. we came up with a price tag that was almost dead in the middle. the two competing proposals 2.5 trillion and covers a buckets that upset the republicans and not enough money

for the democrats and got caucus to get on board with it and taken the lead and the senate is going to do the same. kyrsten sinema and bill cassidy are doing the same in the senate. bipartisan option for the administration to consider. neil: you know, congressman peters, have you heard or either of you heard from the president and whether the white house finds your proposal intriguing. >> people ask me about joe biden and i want to say thank you to joe biden for giving us the list that he can support assuming we can figure out a way to pay for it. as brian said we have to look for points of agreement and there's so much agreement on a lot of the hard infrastructure, the bridges, the roads, the broadband, the electric grid. we can't let that opportunity go

by, so what, i think, what we can do for the president and present to the president is some agreement among members of congress, all of us were elected the same day as joe biden. i think we can get the votes together and the proposal, i think it has to be attractive. neil: you know, congressman, to finish that point, though, many in your party are not keen on a package that doesn't include tax hikes. yours, by and large and you can update me, does not, i'm wondering if that's a tough pill for your democratic colleagues to swallow. >> a lot of us including me think that president trump did great damage to the tax code and needs to be fixed. that doesn't have to be done in this bill. you know, again, we are looking for agreement and if we do a trillion dollar infrastructure package, that's the kind of number that 5 or 6 years ago we would just have said it's impossible but it's a historic opportunity and one that we need

to take advantage of to compete with china, keep the economy going and keep economic growth. we can't solve all of the problems in bun will and brian and i may have disagreement on how to tackle the tax code as we go forward, but here let's find a way to get together on infrastructure and, i think, this is pretty promising. neil: you know, i will flip the question, do you congressman fitzpatrick, a lot of the republican colleagues are open to user fees, the possibility of toll, that sort of thing. the president relayed this week or at least the white house did that the president himself was oppose today gas taxes or any type of a mileage tax which would impact those who buy electric vehicles or own them right now. where does that stand in this proposal? >> yeah, so fees which we agreed to at the governor's mansion, governor hogan, was the definition of infrastructure.

we endorsed this past week, 1.25 over 8 and the third phase are the paid fors and one of the things we believe for very strongly, neil, a wise federal infrastructure spent would yield 2, 3, $4 in private investment. they just built a beautiful expansion in the salt lake city airport. delta helped finance that. if we do a big broadband and bill it out, comcast, netflix, they will benefit. they should have skin in the game. if we are going to have charging stations for electric vehicles, tesla should have skin in the game. we should build those public-private partnership that use that as a forced multiflier. neil: i respect the heck out of you guys for trying to find a middle ground. it's all about getting something done, i believe, congressman

congressfitzpatrick to get 80% n nothing at all. i'm wondering why this can't extend to all of your colleagues to find the middle ground and by that i guess i fault in general the hyper nature of our times. why can't everyone get around like ronald reagan said, we both aim to get something to help each side. why can't we? i will begin that with you, congressman peters? >> i've been in congress since 2013 and it's always struck me that there's so much division. the biggest problem in america is not any particular policy issue, it's the fact that we are so divided against each other and i think that, you know, in our group the problem solvers, folks like brian and i, we come to congress to solve problems. i don't go to washington, d.c.

for the weather, i'm from san diego, i want to get something done. [laughter] >> you know, i -- i just think -- we are so honored to be part of this great american democracy and for us not to get something done, i think is really a waste and so only speaking for myself, but, you know, like i said, i think being part of the problem solvers is really important part of the congress for -- for creating solutions for finding progress and we proved that over the last year during covid in a divided government. we came up with 5 bipartisan covid relief plans including the last one, 908 billion when both sides were stalled. neil: it can be done, yeah. it can be done. all right. gentlemen, i want to thank you both. example of how we can move the ball forward. there's a concept. thank you, guys, i very much appreciate it. all right, we have a lot more coming up including inflation, statistic that confirmed what a lot of you already know.

i love when they come out with a number that you already know. the number is something like this, inflation is a problem and prices are going up. i talk to a lot of individuals who had a collective response to that. duh. see what scholarships you may qualify for at phoenix.edu

neil: all right, turns out you were not imagining it. prices are going up. you have seen it at the grocery store, you see it when you fill up car with gas, you see it looking for a home, those prices have been rocketing. an official read on retail inflation to show that it's running at the strongest in better than 13 years, mike emanuel, hey, mike. mike: the consumer price index surged 5% in may compared to a year ago, that was higher than expected. some key items, use car and

track prices surge 7.3%. food prices rose 4%. ohio, colorado, tennessee have seen the largest uptick in the past week. national average for gasoline more than 3 bucks per gallon according to triple a heading to travel months, will hit the american drivers hard in the wallet. mitch mcconnell blamed the administration for too much money. >> partisan spending bill has blooded our nation's economic recovery. mike: surge in prices are having impact on businesses. former ceo of mcdonalds sounding the alarm on that front. >> i look at a 40-pound case of chicken, went from $40 to $130 in 2 weeks.

that's food cost you can't deal with and you look at the labor cost going up, i don't know what is in the minds of these politicians other than the fact that they absolutely have no idea of economics. mike: experts note inflation can devastate purchasing pow for wages do not keep pace. short-lived burst of inflation might not cause lasting damage but extended period of inflation could force the fed to take action and experts warn that can risk a recession, neil. neil: mike, thank you very much for that. mike emanuel in washington. of course, for response of the white house is that's transitory. view shared by jarome powell indicating as much, the number of federal reserve governor, this too shall pass but what if it does not and is that something that we have to worry about going forward or is this a response to strong economy building up demand for what limited supply. let's go to michelle snyder, director of market gage group

and david, practitioner and resident at new heaven. professor, if you don't mind that i begin with you, and that is how -- how transitory this might be, that this is really what happens when economies pick up steam. i think it's a bit of a leap to blame joe biden for my pork and chicken prices doubling. there could be other factors there. but i am just wondering what you make of this and how long it lasts. >> well, inflation is just the result of too many dollars chasing too few goods and when demand was reduced because of the pandemic last year, the government stepped up with fiscal policy and extraordinary monetary policy and -- and now that consumer demand is back, right, we've had essentially a v-shaped recovery at least on that front. there are too many dollars chasing these goods and as the demand comes back, it probably makes sense for the government to pull back both on the fiscal side and on the monetary side.

so, you know, as long as they continue to spend, spend money and have these monetary policy, it's going to put pressure on the general price level and it will continue, i believe. neil: all right, that is the fear, michelle, and one of the things that's come up is that the federal reserve has to intervene, maybe start raising interest rates to slow this down. now the fed has made clear, though, that it's putting highest priority on jobs and the economies allowing to grow, i don't know what the trigger point is, whether they reversed that but where are you on this? y're saying isdat the transitory, it's true. most likely some of the used car numbers that came out, the car rental numbers, the airfare, the hotels, that was 49% of the core inflation will be somewhat transitory as things continue to open up and then we start settling down, but my concern really comes back to the fed in

that whatever qe taper has been bond buying and on top of that we see yield buying and you take and put that on the side and what you have going on here is tremendous rise in food and i've always felt for about a year now this would be a food-driven inflation environment and if that continues not only are we going to feel it from just our own pocketbooks when we go shopping but at some point now that type of inflation is really going to take hold and that's where the fed has to come in and that's where the talk of stagflation as opposed to inflation really start to get on my mind. neil: yeah, the economy is slowing down but prices are doing just the opposite. a lot of republicans have linked the two to say that this president is another jimmy carter, last time that happened to that degree. adam, i'm just wondering, though, if the markets are panicked about this or sensing that we are entering another

70's inflation spiral, they have a weird way of showing it. i believe the s&p 500 hit a new word yesterday, bond yields are actually going down a little bit, so what is the market telling -- not that it's always right. what is it telling us right now? >> that's exactly right. the market is passing its judgment which is -- which is that this is transitory. that what we are seeing is largely -- even overwhelmingly a function of what the economists call a base effect and namely the economy was shut down and you should expect that it's not shut down now and that we would see rapid increases in prices. the other thing is mitch mcconnell said one thing that wasn't factually correct. he said that the biden administration is blunting the economy, well, whether -- whether or not you agree on what the biden administration is doing, the economy isn't blunted and that's your point. the economy is growing robustly, the market sees that and i think that's why we see a lot of this confusion right now because there's no question we are seeing inflation.

the question is how long does it last and if you think it doesn't last long you're in the market-buying stocks. neil: you think about it, david, inflation can only last as long as average folks are willing to pay more for the goods that have been running up. is there a point where they don't and are you worried about that? >> that's a great point. you know, asset inflation, markets don't necessarily have a problem with asset inflation but consumers have a problem with inflation when it comes to the ordinary goods that they use every day and the whole point of the fiscal policy and easing the monetary policy during the pandemic was to make lives better for the average american and inflation hits them the hardest and we don't know what's going to happen but i'm sure there are a lot of people at the fed right now who are looking at this, you know, very closely to make sure that doesn't happen because that -- that will be a problem. it'll affect the people that you're trying to protect the most. neil: you know, michelle, you also see consumers change their

behavior. chicken prices are getting out of what, tofu, god only knows why. [laughter] neil: behavior to mitigate the challenge, what do you see happening? >> well, first of all, i want to say if you put the word vegan in front of anything that you're selling it automatically means that you're going to pay more even if the cost produces less than chicken, just want to say that. yeah, essentially i think what's overlooked in all of this is that we are talking about raw materials. you just start to wave a magic wand, there's more corn, there's more wheat, there's more soybeans and copper, you have x factors involved with that. weather is one and geopolitics is another. so the fact that we had allow supply by design before the whole covid hit and now the supply chain disruption, weather conditions, this could extend for another 2 or 3 years before we start to recycle and get new

crops going and more mining, et cetera. neil: wow. >> and so -- neil: i wished we had more time. you guys are coming back. the weather, it's going to get weird and out west it's going to get a lot hot after this.

neil: technically, technically it's not summer yet, usually memorial day weekend is kickoff to summer but you wouldn't know that with temps out west. rick joins us to explain what is going on and what could be building across the country. >> we use a thing called

meteorlogical summer. you are not totally wrong. we are in there already. temperatures feeling like summer and it's not going the change for a while. in the 80's in ohio valley. it's getting humid and we are getting the summer thunderstorms and continue to watch at fox weather. watch -- take a look at the heat advisories across parts of the west. about to do with first real big blast of heat across parts of the west and that isn't good news because we have drought. take a look at this, we have extreme drought, exceptional drought across areas of north dakota around four corners spreading into the pacific northwest and much of california and we are into the dry season, not getting any moisture here and we are starting to see the temperatures really rise, watch what happens in next 3 days here. we will be watching temps on monday in phoenix, 117, that's very hot even for phoenix. this is generally when you get them but we have significant

high temperatures going on. watch this showers that continue to pop up here across parts of the east. neil. neil: all right, rick, thank you very much. my friend, you probably heard about how 15,000 tax returns of what i would call the upper one tenth of 1%, forget the 1% and low and behold turns out that very few of them pay their full tax freight. now think about that. the timing of that and where they are going with that after this. yes, please! neuriva. think bigger.

neil: all right, so think quick. what do you think george soros, elon musk and jeff bezos will have in common, they are all

billionaires many times over, right? they pay no taxes at all, zero. part of revelation of 15,000 tax returns from the well to do that somehow got into the media organizations hands and the world is knowing. wave after wave of this. a lot of people are saying that doesn't seem right. cpa market analyst, great count on this. i want to go back to something that's the bible of your training and that is the irs has an obligation, does it not, to not get this stuff out, to protect no matter where they are in the income stream, their financial data, right? what happened? >> absolutely. this information, neil, is confidential. it's private and to release this information or to steal this information is actually a crime. now we don't know exactly what happened here, was it someone inside the irs that's releasing

this information or was it a hack from the outside. either way, this has to make people feel well, not good. they may not fall into the 15,000 super wealthy people but what stops tax return information for anyone to become public in some way? it's not a good thing, neil. neil: bottom line is a lot of these people do not pay any taxes or very little in taxes and that's because some of them have a lot of wealth. now, so far in this country we do not tax wealth, we tax income. it is what it is and it's going to ignite this talk that the rich should find a way to pay more. where do you think that's going? >> it's absolutely going down to road of the mantra of the rich not paying their fair share. according to joe biden will be, quote, unquote, people making over $400,000.

we are talking about the ultra rich when we are talking about billionaires. now my guess here, neil, is that they didn't do anything illegally. they simply were following the tax laws that allowed them not to pay taxes. if you really want to be fair about the tax structure, neil, you simply go to a flat tax. everybody says the same amount based on their income. there are no deductions. that will never happen that way, but that's the fairest way to do it to make sure that everybody pays their taxes. neil: dan, thank you so much for, to dan's point, the fact of the matter we do not tax wealth in the country. there's a push to do so right now. asset that is you have and you own and that could be gaining ferver, take a look at what is happening at the border.

the read that we are getting from washington, case close, everything is just fine. apparently when griff jenkins with his continued reports is monitoring things, it's not just fine at all. that's how you do it right. ...

if you're 55 and up, t-mobile has plans built just for you. switch now and get 2 unlimited lines and 2 free smartphones. and now get netflix on us. it's all included with 2 lines for only $70 bucks! only at t-mobile. >> all right. the view from the border is that it's a mess. so much of a mess that the governor of texas has already promised that he is going to build a wall that joe biden put a stop to says it's necessary. now, the question, can he do that and will he run into any legal obstacles because he wants to do that? all at a time when the surge isn't slowing down and our own griff jenkins doesn't know it. riveting reports that show just how bold the people become

trying to get into the country including smugglers. not afraid of talking to the press in broad day night and griff is in del rio, texas with more. hey, griff. >> hey, neil. it's been quite a week and being on your show, we've had crazy moments, but since i've been here, i arrived last sunday and they arrested more than 7,000 migrants, illegally crossing in just this area alone from 35 different countries. and i believe our drone may be up just to my east and the rio grande valley. that sector getting hit harder. their numbers even higher. both sectors are up more than 400% from this time last year. that's why it is such a crisis. the overwhelming numbers nearly

930,000 migrant encounters across the 2000 mile southern border. that's why here in texas you've got the director of the texas department of public safety, colonel steve mccraw who's leading the texas fight for the governor. he says the numbers are something they've never seen. here is the colonel, listen to what he had to say. >> don't necessarily certainly understand it, but the end of the day, they're to protect and serve texas,all of texas. it starts where the biggest problem is, recognizing the law of large numbers and that's certainly the texas-mexico border. >> that's why officials, neil, tell me they need infrastructure. they need three things, technology, manpower and infrastructure and that's a wall we can see as we've shown the wall completely unfinished. it's a mess in del rio.

and president obama knew what they tried to and under trump halted at noon on inauguration day when president biden issued that executive order to stop construction and that's why you've got so many migrants streaming across the river right behind me in droves all day long. that smuggler by the way that we talked to, i confronted him right here in the middle of the river live on your show. i said, is the border closed? he said, no, no, meaning it's open, saying he makes 100 to $200 a day and we talked about how profitable it is for the cartels. you'd be stunned how much he says they're making, listen to the chief. >> so just in-- so we estimate that the cartels are making about $25 million a week right now moving the people through the del rio sector. so they charge by demographic,

by nationality, and so, everyone had to pay a different fee, but everybody has to pay. >> and what's stunning, neil, just a final thought for you, is that doesn't include the narcotics. i saw yesterday, cvp putting out some numbers in just the month of may alone they seized more than 60,000 pounds of drugs with cocaine and fentanyl already exceeding the totals they had last year and there's four months to go in this fiscal year. neil. >> you know what is so amazing in your reporting, griffin, it just struck me, maybe not a surprise to you is how brazen all of this is in broad daylight in front of your camera, in front of you, talking to you. not afraid of any repercussions. this-- i don't know, you're there and it seems out of control. >> great point, neil. and literally, just to tell you how brazen they are, about 40 minutes ago, right where i'm standing, dps agents arrested

two mexican nationals, not coming across, they were going back across the border. they said their mother, quote, had a hernia that's why they wanted to go back. they don't respect the fact that there's a border the fact they might go back. >> one might suggest they might be coyotes and brought people over and going back. that could be a likelihood or maybe they're living here illegally and have to go back to see their mother. the point is that the border officials and brazenness is just at an unprecedented level the fact that you would have mexican nationals simply going back. neil. neil: you know, griff, i'm curious, the governor wants to build a wall, but that becomes a federal issue as well. i cannot believe that the biden administration wouldn't fight that, just on, you know, federal grounds here, but what kind of reaction is that getting where you are? >> well, reaction-wise, every official and resident i've

talked to here, to include sheriffs and judges, they're all ecstatic to hear that the governor wants to build more wall because they know walls work. it's not a new thing that started a few years ago, for decades they've used walls to try and control flows to put it in certain areas, that way it's not so wide open for 2000 miles. but in terms of whether it will happen, that's very unclear. i spoke yesterday, neil, to a texas imminent domain attorney named luke elliss. depends how the governor intends to do it, what does the governor plan it to look like because as you pointed out the border is made up of federal and state land and private land and ranchers and farmers so it gets dicey what exactly he can and can't do. either way, it's falling on welcomed ears here because they know something's got to be done to get it out of control. it's showing no signs of slowing down and in a final thought, the big concern off

camera that the officials are having here is they're worried that the administration could lift that title two. that is the rule under the covid pandemic that allowed us to expel my grants under the fear that they could bring covid here and put americans at risk. if they lift that because of covid and the pandemic is better, that believes that would make the numbers we're seeing now greater. neil. neil: griff jenkins, incredible. thank you very much for your stellar reporting, my friend, allowing us to see for ourselves what's going on at the border. this does have sort of a political earthquake implications here and in mcallen, texas, they have elected a republican for mayor. and mcallen in that area is the same area that hillary clinton won like 40 points over donald trump in 2016. joe biden won by about 20 points over donald trump so

something's changed. the guy who is right now is the mayor-elect, it was a close election and they're ironing that out, but he was kind enough to join us. the mcallen mayor-elect. >> thank you very much to be here. neil: let me get your take on what happened. i know it was a close election and you won by a couple hundred votes. i don't know whether there's going to be a recount or whether your opponent is looking into that. where do things stand now? >> actually it was a close election and it was nonpartisan, but everybody knew i was the former republican chair. the difference was only about 220 votes. it would be very difficult to overturn, recount, whatever. i think we're going to be fine. neil: all right. regardless how close it was, and what happens to your point, mayor-elect, it's very different than it was a little more than, you know, a few months ago to say nothing of a few years ago. what's going on?

>> well, during the past election, it's amazing what happened here in south texas, i think generally the hispanic community is very conservative, yet, traditionally they voted democrat. it's amazing what happened this past election, i think our numbers as far as the borders were up quite substantially. we finally, finally have competition in south texas and i think it's going to open up the door for a lot of people. neil: all right. now, a lot of people have been noticing, even in the last election where donald trump scored more of the latino vote than he did even in the election four years prior, how do you see the latino vote, if i can generallylize, going right now? >> down south texas it's a little bit different. like i said traditionally democrat, however, there are a lot including older individuals that have prefer democrats opening up their eyes and accepting different ideas both social and economic and it's

amazing. we will have to-- the competition is good. it's traditionally democrats for south texas has been ignored a lot of the time and we expect the next election that we will have the same results and we have candidates running for congress. it was difficult for the candidates down here, especially local elections and i think that things are going to be changing. neil: you know, mayor-elect. is it your sense that we always tend to look at the hurricane irma community as a monolithic block, but there are many in your community who got here legally and they tend to recent what's been happening at the border and as if that speaks for all hispanics. what do you think? >> you know, it's amazing, even the older individuals, including before, my in-laws, they just can't stand what's going on. my in-laws, they were immigrants legally and it is true, people talk about it, they said, look, what's going on? why can't they do it legally?

there has to be a mechanism, but you know what? a lot of the fault we have is in washington. so we implore with our senators and our congressman, the president, take a look at the immigration issue and take care of that. we're being burdened right now with hundreds, thousands of immigrants almost daily. and it's an issue that we shouldn't be burdened, our taxpayers shouldn't be paying for that, so we keep on telling washington take care of business. neil: you know, kamala harris has yet to come to the border and she seems to be putting it off. is it almost too late now? >> no, look, anytime a federal official comes in, they're welcome. i think it would be wonderful if vice-president harris could come and see some of the issues that we have. we're about 10 miles from the border, we have two international bridges hidalgo, and amazing at any given times hundreds and hundreds of

immigrants, the point where border patrol starts processing and they send them to mcallen. fortunately, all we do is logistical assistance as far as transportation where they're dropped off to a respite center to the bus station or to the airport. so, our position, it's like, look, we shouldn't be doing that. we should not be spending our money on immigration and federal issues. but we for our purposes, it's logistical and the immigrants don't stay to mcallen, they go to the bus station and the airport and they're out so that's beneficial for us. neil: mayor-elect, thank you. the mcallen texas mayor-elect. that was seismic, as close as it was, it was not expected. we'll keep an eye on that. mayor, thank you so much. i'm keeping you posted on developments on this side of the border, including an emergency meeting we're told by the c.d.c. to look into

emerging vaccine side effects. what are we worried about? and exactly what are the side effects after this. good night syra. night, drive safe. i love you. drive safe. ok buh bye mommy. you guys ready? you sure you got everything? drive safe. we all say it; chevy can help you do it. with chevy safety assist standard on the new equinox and trailblazer part of the chevy family of suvs. drive safe. new projects means new project managers. and trailblazer part of thyou need to hire. suvs. i need indeed. indeed you do. the moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a short list of quality candidates from our resume database. claim your seventy five dollar credit, when you post your first job at indeed.com/home.

>> all right. following up on something i told you that will be coming up at the g7 as well. back in the united states, that the c.d.c. plans an emergency meeting next week over. some stories of a vaccine side effects particularly in young people who are developing heart related issues. we don't have exact numbers, they're relatively tame, we're told. we'll explore that later with dr. bob, and in the meantime, the administration puts along with the g7 to make sure more vaccines get out especially to the developing world, including a half million of them through a program for the president for the countries. and joe biden right now i think he's talking to the press right now. is that right? can we take a look?

let's go to that. >> (inaudible) >> well, i was wrong on that. i want to go to peter doocy in cornwall right now where all of this is happening. this push in the scene being helped. this is going to be about getting to the origins of covid, but more importantly, where covid stands right now. is that about right, peter? >> yeah, that's about right, neil. so the white house told us on a today that they don't want the rest of the leaders to pick just between the u.s. or china, but they want to figure out how to best position the leaders here, the people in charge of the world's largest economies, how to best position themselves with china's unfair economic practices. what we've heard from, say, the president of france. there's a lot of appreciation of joe biden for abandoning the

trump era america first policy. listen to this. >> and for all the issues, what we need is cooperation and i think it's great to have the u.s. president very willing to cooperate. >> so the european leaders now say joe biden is part of their club. and there are reports that the final communique all the g7 leaders plan to sign onto is a call for new and more transparent investigation into the origins of covid-19, that pandemic that ravaged all of these large economies of the group of seven members. it's clear from a european commission standpoint, european partners are unsatisfied with the access that china has been giving the world health organizations, health detective. >> therefore, the investigators need complete access to

whatever is necessary to really find the source of this pandemic and depending on that, we have to draw conclusions and there's a wide scope of different options that are being investigated right now. >> so far today we've only seen the president sitting side by side with president macron. there are going to be group of seven wide meetings concerning health and then foreign policy and we do expect to get a quick look at those before they kick the cameras out. neil. >> all right. got it. peter doocy in england following that. the rush again on the leaders is to get vaccines out to as many people across the globe as possible, especially those in developing countries, but now, some reminders that there's a large portion of the public, not only in this country, but everywhere who do not want this

vaccine, are anxious about this vaccine and will never get this vaccine. why that is.

to be a thriver with metastatic breast cancer means... grabbing a hold of what matters. asking for what we want. and need. and we need more time. so, we want kisqali. living longer is possible and proven with kisqali when taken with fulvestrant or a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor in hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali is approved for both pre- and postmenopausal women, and has extended lives in multiple clinical trials. kisqali is a pill that's significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant alone. kisqali can cause lung problems, or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and low white blood cell counts that may result in severe infections. tell your doctor right away if you have new or worsening symptoms, including breathing problems, cough, chest pain, a change in your heartbeat, dizziness, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdomen pain,

bleeding, bruising, fever, chills, or other symptoms of an infection, a severe or worsening rash, are or plan to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. avoid grapefruit during treatment. kisqali is not approved for use with tamoxifen. it's our time. for more time. we asked for kisqali. ask your doctor about living longer with kisqali.

>> all right. the push is on to get as many americans vaccinated as possible, but we've seen to hit a log jam where a quarter up to a third of americans have as yet to be fully vaccinated and maybe a good many will never be vaccinated whether that represents a problem. i want to raise right now with the doctor, rutgers medical

school professional and medical college, and much, much more than that. doctor, i'm wondering if this news that the c.d.c. is planning an emergency meeting next week to address some side effects, i assume the side effects we're talking about are young people who have gotten the vaccine. do you know anything about that? >> yes. yes, i do, neil, the predominant side effect is myocarditis and the pericarditis. and the hard is surrounded by the myo cardium and the lining of the heart. it's seen mostly in men, age of 18. and seen in this country and around the world. it's transient and goes away. why that happens is the real

question. >> now, a lot of these treatments, j & j are one shot treatment. if you're in the group and had one shot, one dose, should you go ahead and get the second dose or is that good enough? >> one shot, it is being said, is adequate for partial immunity, but when the research dictates, that you should have two shots, everyone should go and get their second shot. you shouldn't count on the one shot to protect you for long periods of time. you can be assured if you get two shots you could be protected six months to a year and maybe longer and now there's data from science that says you can get two different shots, astrazeneca, the moderna shot, different shots also boost the immune system so it may not matter which you get for the second shot, neil. neil: speaking of the c.d.c.,

too, doctor, it's now officially saying that if you had your vaccination, either the two shots in the case the j&j's one shot. and go without a mask. >> you can go without a mask and cavort with your friends for the fourth of july holidays, anything outdoors. we still advise, as does the c.d.c. indoors, in airplanes, buses and trains. if you're on the ferry boat or second deck of the tour bus in any city in the country, you don't have to wear a mask. neil: i'm curious what you then make of this coming out that's going on in the united states, crowded stadiums, concerts, venues, among the nonvaccinated population and they will be stuffed in the locals and

crowded spaces. are they in danger of their own superspreader event among the unvaccinated? is there a threat of that? >> yes, there's a big threat of that. two parts to that, one is 5% that have been vaccinated that can still get infected and the second is those who are vaccinated who have the virus within them with no effects can spread that to a person who's unvaccinated and this is also the case for children. and that's why we're pushing to get children vaccinated because children, you know, below the age of 15 can carry the virus without symptoms. they won't be sick, but they can pass it on to the unvaccinated adults and that's a problem and why we're trying to be careful and mindful of the fact that young people need to be vaccinated as well. >> you know, dr., you were with me at the time president trump had said that hydrox color wax

there for heart, respiratory related issues for them and based from my own cardiologist, it was a quite a risk taker and when the president said you have nothing to lose for that submarine-- that sub set of the population, it could be deadly, as it was in a number of studies. is it your take today that it's fine, obviously, from the lupus and some of the other things it addresses it has a long track record of success to include this in the list of treatments now in this, you know, where we have a lot of other vaccine possibilities or do you still share as i did at the time, the reticence for those who would leap at it even with vulnerable conditions? >> i would say, neil, believe me, i use a lot of

hydroxychlorquine. there was no effects on hundreds of patients that we gave it to. that's not to say if you're not clinically ill or seriously ill that you shouldn't take it before you reach the emergency room or to the hospital. if you think you have had covid or test positive it may be useful pre-hospital. i'm a hospital-based physician and i think out there in the real world, it may be a useful drug to use, at least as a pro

phylawtic. >> and those with respiratory and extenuating, this was not a green light no matter what the president said at the time to take it and use it, i worried for their welfare and safety, but it was that subset all albeit, a small one, that would season what the president was recommending. did you agree then and now? >> i agree the president made some claims unfounded scientifically and i think the niaid and nih and others c.d.c. agreed with me that it was too early to say that hydroxychloroquine was a cure-all. we did see patients that did try hydroxychloroquine. is there a harm in taking it? i doubt the harm is large, especially when you take it

with an antibiotic, probably do nothing to you that's adverse, however, there's always a risk and we like to be very careful and not have people taking it willy nilly for mow no reason. neil: thank you, great catching up with you. if you've been interested in this, and what i make of the hydroxychloroquine study, and some said that i said it would kill you. i never said that. i said for the vulnerable subset of the population probably not a good idea, people have died. the fact of the matter if this was the magic bullet, donald trump himself would have never gotten covid. he did. we'll have more after this: e all changed ♪ ♪ since you hung around ♪ ♪ but those dreams have remained ♪ ♪ and they've turned around ♪

>> all right. effective today, four states are stopping those extended

federal jobless benefits, not all jobless benefits, particularly state ones, those extended to september in the hope of freeing up more potential workers who seem to be in very short supply as a lot of businesses having a devil of a time hiring workers. let's go to michelle snyder with us, adam with us, last but not least, david with us. adam, the argument has been that if not for those extended benefits, these folks at home would almost assuredly have to be out looking for work. so because they didn't have to do that, businesses weren't able to find workers. what do you think of that argument? >> well, in the clear late of day, neil, there clearly is lot of validity to that argument. it was always the case there were other factors keeping people out of the workplace, whether it was fear of covid, a need to be home with children or others who needed their care, but the fact is that some

people were doing better by accepting their unemployment benefits. so, we're seeing that unwind and some states will see it unwind completely by september, and then in the near term those payments have done a lot of good in helping people, you know, stay on their feet, as it were. >> you know, michelle, we do know that these are the first of -- these four states are the first of more than 20 of that will as of this month see the end to the extended benefits. how quickly will that hope up jobs and a market to the employers who are looking for workers? >> some people are predicting bile july by july 150,000 more jobs filled and september 400,000. when this ends. and i totally agree with what was just said and i think the bigger thing right now is what

sea change have we seen as a result of covid in the workplace in general. part of it we already saw before covid which was the digitalization of industry in general. and part of it, of course, is that the new normal is either work from home, self-proprietorship, retailers, have flooded the markets and it's interesting to see what happens in the new world order in terms of businesses that will never come back and get the jobs and how the businesses can adapt to the sea change going forward and that's what i'm keeping my eye on. >> i'm looking as well, david, how many will return to work, presumably in the fall after labor day when a lot of business, particularly the new york metropolitan area welcoming them back. and by that definition alone, there aren't going to be many coming back. play this out for me, what the fall looks like not only for the workers, but maybe for the economy. >> well, neil, the last comment

is the pretty important one, right? how much of this unemployment is structural in nature versus cyclical in nature and how many businesses have changed the way they do business and now there's a little bit of a mismatch between skill sets and what the companies need. so, where cyclical and demand is picking up and they need to bring back employees we'll see that and where they change the business model, they won't. i suspect we've soon the highest we've soon for a while and that's where the policy question becomes a big one, is this structural or cyclical. if it's structural. it's probably going to last for a while longer and the pace of job growth will probably slow the next few months. >> in the meantime, some employers, as you know, adam, i believe largely in investment banking where goldman sachs and others want workers in the offices, i believe in the case of goldman, requiring proof that they've been vaccinated in the process. so this is going to be a bit of

a bumpy ride and some are going to argue, you're violating my privacy rights and all, how do you think this sorts out? >> well, you know, you used the word bumpy. i totally agree. the way i've described this is messy. we'll see a messy in the knowledge work force. september to october, restaurants are not going to be facing the problem of trying to hire wait staff or cooks or what have you because the people typically who filled those jobs are going to want to fill the jobs, but i think that giant corporations their employees are complaining, i liked working from home and i think there's going to be an extended conversation/argument, neil, in the coming months. that argument could last for, i don't know, six to 18 months. it's not going to be quick. >> you know, michelle, i've told my own employer i want to continue doing imagery shows i don't want to come in and they said all right, you can do

imagery shows and have at it. my point there are going to be a lot of workers who protest. i wonder how that gets started out. >> well, i think it's going to be a matter of how far the protests go until they're at risk of losing their job. they're in the work space and as david said, it's a matter how long this whole thing gets restructured. but what will also be interesting is, what we're going to see the incentive that employers are offering people to not only come back to work, but to come to the office so that's another area, i think it could be interesting is how much partnering companies, small businesses in particular will offer their employees, so that they feel more incentivized to come back to work and be a part of the growth of the business and i'm hoping that's a result. we have a small business and that's what we're doing with our employees.

>> i want to thank you very much for joining my imagery show. [laughter]. neil: we have a lot coming up, oh, i'm on the air. coming up, did you see what happened on this delta flight this morning? it got out of control. it was a delta employee in custody now when he apparently said out loud he would take the plane down. that tends to upset people. boy did it ever after this. 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... ...paid her claim... ...and we even pulled a few strings. making it easy to make things right: that's what we're made for. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for.

1730 flying overnight. los angeles to atlanta, sometimes mid flight an unruly passenger got into an argument with flight crew toward the front of the aircraft and other air passenger describes what happened. take a listen. >> the pilot made an announcement and said all able bodied men come forward, there's aage m-- there's an emergency, come to the front. i got halfway up, before they said the situation was under control. >> delta spokesperson says thanks to the crew and passengers of flight 1730 who assisted in detaining an unruly passenger as the flight diverted to oklahoma city. it landed without incident. oklahoma city police took the suspect into custody and conducted a thorough search of the aircraft to make sure there were no other issues before allowing the flight to resume safely to atlanta. an official with knowledge says no flight attendants were

and i'm going to -- i'm on the list to go me and my wife are on the list to go to tiny homes and from there on the way to get our apartment. >> a spokesperson for l.a.'s democratic mayor says in part, mayor garcetti will never stop pushing to direct every available resource toward long-term and high quality solutions that end the vicious cycle. there's no one size fits all solution to ending homelessness as l.a. city and the county face a drastic surge in homelessness in los angeles alone. the homeless population rose to more than 41,000 and that's roughly 16% increase compared to last year. neil. >> christine, thank you for that. that's mind-boggling numbers, christine coleman in losn los angeles on that. all right, when we come back, getting ready, that is the president, to meet with the queen. you know, queen elizabeth has met withry u.s. president dating back to harry truman,

but there is one president, one who she did not meet with. who do you think that is? well, if you behave, i'll tell you.

>> tomorrow is the big day for the president of the united states. he will be meeting the queen and she has met with every u.s. president since harry truman. the only one she did not meet was lynn done baines johnson. that's an incredible track record. dominic green, historian and all around smart guy and british and everything relations, great to have you

and thank you for coming. >> hi, neil. neil: do you know or does the queen ever let on if the queen is ever liked or disliked or a stiff upper lip and leave it at that? >> she keeps a stiff upper lip and the people who know how it went down and all eyes are on buckingham palace on sunday and trimming the crust from the cucumber sandwiches and working out a long list of subjects not to talk about. for instance, not talking about brexit. the queen is a supporter of brexit as all the best people are. president biden has unfortunately come down on the side of the european union. neil: you know, i've been reading a lot of the british press, because i can't read french, but one thing, they have a much, you know, cozier view of joe biden than they did donald trump and i understand

historically this is the case that europeans favor democratic presidents over republican ones don't know why that is, but why is that? >> i think a lot has to do style rather than content. they think that joe biden is more european to deal with, but the content of what he's saying is something else and they're not going to get much from him and you can tell that they do want stuff he's simply not going to be able to give it to them. for the queen, there's no pressure on her is there? or is there? >> no, i think that all she has to do is her usual style and everyone else will fit in. and we saw it in cornwall with the lineup for the photo and queen is in the front. they look like the audition for the oldest boy band in existence and she joined them. as she daintily left, you saw macron, he's had an eye for the

older lady to get there. and the president is discouraged from speaking off the cuff. neil: there you go. you're a great -- a great sense of humor, dominic green. that will be fun tomorrow to see that, right? we'll see how it all goes. ♪ where everybody knows your name ♪ ♪♪ ♪ and they're always glad you came ♪ ♪ you wanna be where you can see(ah-ah) ♪ ♪ our troubles are all the same (ah-ah) ♪ ♪ you wanna be where everybody knows your name ♪ ♪ you wanna go where people know ♪ welcome back, america. it sure is good to see you.
