1:08 pm
difference and while the senate includes infrastructure how quickly a bill could reach the president's desk remains unclear house speaker nancy pelosi said she will pass an infrastructure bill in her chamber until after the senate passes a separate much larger spending bill tied to human infrastructure and the speaker doubling down on her demands once again earlier today. >> the president has said that he wants to have a bipartisan bill and we all do. but that is not the limitation of the vision of the president he wants to build back better. >> if the president were able to sign an infrastructure bill into law it would certainly be a legislative victory for the white house in the administration may need good news because the latest survey shows the president approval rating is slipping six points in the last month to 50% overall, the soloist of the presidency so far. arthel: mark meredith live in wilmington, delaware, thank you.

looking to washington and enforce its ranks for the spikes in shootings, robberies and murder, former detroit police chief james craig is blaming what he calls his guided liberal mayors for the growing violence, he's planning a run for the michigan governor, former d.c., tied detective joined us on fox news contributor about the police in the state in law enforcement on our country. what is the effect about the policies and prosecutors like those in los angeles and philadelphia, how has that or has that contributed to any of the spike in crime that were seen now? >> clearly, i unequivocally tell you it is been demoralizing for law enforcement, as a result of that the criminals are seeing that there is such a fight going
1:18 pm
on with lawmakers who want to defend the police department, those crooks are sitting on the sidelines cheering on and they're saying you fight, we commit crime and that is unfortunately what is going on on the various neighborhoods that crime is off the charts up because of the lawmakers not taking on crime and taking them seriously. eric: he just retired as a police chief in detroit and yet his hands full but able to keep the police, he said the opponents don't want to just defund, they want to dismantle the police, here's the former police chief of detroit james craig. >> here's what's missing we talk about all these issues were reimagining of the misguided liberal morals and one in chicago, bowser in d.c. who in
1:19 pm
one breath is talking about defunding, now she wants to fund, continue to forget judge jeanine are police officers across his country with the exception of detroit, are demoralized, they don't feel supported. eric: in detroit they did a poll usa today shows the number one concern of african-american residents happens to be crime. they don't want their house broken into. >> absolutely, i think it is wrong to say that these global mayors, the man in the district of columbia tried to add money to the budget and it was the city council that took money away. you do have a minneapolis where they're talking about replacing a police department, this is the most troubling thing you could ever think of, they want to replace the police department and they give an example if
1:20 pm
there is a mental health catastrophe going on in our community, they will send the police, healthcare providers, i tell you, if that happens we will have a lot of healthcare providers gone, you have to send the police and to neutralize the situation before the healthcare providers common this is going on all over the country they defund the police, the president of the united states, president biden and all president obama they said there against defunding but the local officials are charging their head with defunding the police movement. eric: some cities are turning to federal law enforcement to get help in reinforcement baltimore make it 100 atf agents in a federal task force go after guns
1:21 pm
specifically there went to rochester right now for the next 60 days, is this one way where the city council doesn't have anything to do with it, you're bringing in feds in reinforcement like the calvary coming in, is this a way for the cities to regain control of their street? >> i think a baltimore it's necessary, and baltimore like major cities around the country you have lost a lot of good police officers, they left the department drugs so you need the federal authorities to common and help. but what is going on and what is necessary is police community of policing and that's where police officers get out of their damn automobiles, they go into the community, some live in these communities and at the same time they've established a report with the members of those communities so those law-abiding citizens within the community
1:22 pm
can tell law enforcement, you have joe joe next door and jojo is a thug, go get him and this is what you need you need that intelligence from law-abiding citizens but they are scared because they know if they tell on these crooks, by the time the creek is locked up and before the paperwork is finished that kirk is back on that neighborhood that is another demoralizing situation. eric: finally, do you think that cycle can finally be broken? and especially so heartbreaking and tragic. because it affects minority communities. >> when you have a lot of black on black crime and until the black community comes together and realize they have the black on black crime and they have to deal with it accordingly and help the law enforcement or you will continue to see crime in these neighborhoods

1:30 pm
concerned about inflation, 74% say they're very concerned about employment numbers. >> if you think about the fact that wages went up a little bit but inflation was so high over 5% that you actual spending power is down when you pay more for fruit, fish, meat and you pay for shoes to go back to school next month you don't seem optimistic. >> the federal reserve said these numbers will correct themselves in time while acknowledging that there is no historical data to rely on given the severity of the past year and the impact is taken on businesses, the workforce and individual savings, that was something the president joe biden reinvigorated last week saying if inflation continues long-term it would pose a real challenge from the administration will step in if and when it's needed. arthel: the biden the administration crossed the
1:31 pm
six-month mark the president is trying to move a massive spending deal through congress but bipartisanship has been hard to come by at the senate meantime covid cases arising across the country possibly putting economic recovery at risk. what do we make of the first six months of biden's presidency, founder and ceo of real clear politics joins is now tom you have two issues that could determine the direction of mr. biden's presidency, infrastructure in the pandemic. let's start with infrastructure, mark warner from virginia was on "fox news sunday" today sounding optimistic about a bipartisan infrastructure legislation. we don't have it, i tell you what he said. he said i believe we will because the one thing that i hear i've been all across virginia the last couple of days
1:32 pm
and people want us to invest in our infrastructure, he goes on to talk about optimistic terms, we are only six months in but how might this vote for president biden's legacy on infrastructure. >> is a big deal the democrats and put a lot and invested a lot in this but unfortunately what they tied into the larger $3.5 trillion package that they're trying to move through reconciliation and they link those two together so that may be what prevents either of the bills from getting passed because of the majority the democrats have in the house and senate is a high risk tragedy and they're running out of time the house leaves in the senate leaves the week after for august recess and they will be back to the third week of september once congress goes home for break it's hard to see that they will come back to get something done i think the clock is really taking. arthel: some political achilles' heel for the biden presidency i should say in the pandemic, we
1:33 pm
know that former president trump is still very popular with most republicans and tragically 437,000 americans died on president trump's watch, still the pandemic continues on president biden's watch, how will the weight affect the current president legacy? >> that still to be determined, clearly one of the reasons he was elected, he promised to get a handle on the pandemic and he received pretty good remarks for the public for the first six months while over 50% in most poles of his handling of the issue of the pandemic they did a good job with vaccinations but the resurgence of the delta variant if they're not able to get a handle, it will take a bite out of his approval rating and public approval in that regard and that could harm him because he was one of the big two issues in the virus and the economy were the big two issues
1:34 pm
in 2020 and they certainly would be the big two issues in 2024 as well. >> we are six months in but we will watch how it all unfolds we want to talk to you about the committee on january 6 house minority leader kevin mccarthy pulled his republican lawmakers and said he had selected for the committee, after speaker pelosi objected to two of his elections talking about jim jordan and jim banks in addition this is breaking the afternoon he added adam kinzinger to the committee and kevin mccarthy and he says speaker pelosi rejection of the republican nominees to serve on the committee and self appointment of members who shared the preconceived narrative will not yield the serious investigation. to satisfy her political
1:35 pm
objectives, she played politics, speaker pelosi's departure from the serious minded approach has destroyed the committee's credibility and the men and women who protected and suffered a massive leadership failure, we must make sure that never happens again and that's what republicans will be focused on. is the minority leader doing what he's accusing the speaker of playing politics? >> both sides are playing politics it is unfortunate nancy pelosi took an unprecedented move to denying the minority leader the pics on the panel and by doing that she gave him cover to pull all the republicans from the committee and it confirmed for both parties that their worst intentions that they thought each side had going into this i think the unfortunate truth even though nancy pelosi has to republicans on the committee they are both very
1:36 pm
diehard trump critics and while she will spin this as being bipartisan it will not actually be bipartisan in the sense of the majority of what republicans think. people have opinions about january 6, they already made up their minds and i'm not sure with nancy pelosi or kevin mccarthy will change will happen on that day. >> considering everything you just said you think the select committee will be used as a political or is it possible at all for them to uncover and drill down on the who, the wet, the wing, the high, the how for the january 6 attacks on our nations capital. >> and think it's going to be obscured by politics and while democrats may uncover and submit information and republicans will focus on what they want to focus on why the capital was left undefended, et cetera, i think at the end of the day it will be used as a political cudgel by democrats and republicans will use the report that way as well
1:37 pm
is devolved and deteriorated to that point and given how divided the country is, unfortunately i don't think there was ever a chance this will be a truly bipartisan objective look of what happened on january 6. arthel: do you think we should know and how that came to be? >> absolutely i think the public deserves answers to what happened on that day across the board, the political dynamic in play on capitol hill prevented that from happening. arthel: thank you very much, we will talk to you again, take care. speak to the taliban surgeon in afghanistan as the u.s. and nato troops are preparing to leave the defense secretary austin says the afghan government is committed to reversing the taliban advances but the big question trey yingst with the

since 2010. i'm telling you she's not the same. >> is really an outbreak among the unvaccinated, this is an issue predominantly among the unvaccinated which is a reason why were out there practically pleading with the unvaccinated people to get vaccinated. eric: doctor anthony fauci sounding the alarm over the delta variant spreading across the globe and people who are susceptible because they're not vaccinated. that variant also striking japan were covid-19 continues to be a big story of the olympics the ioc ban spectators and changes to keep the participants safe but more and more athletes are unable to compete because her testing positive for coronavirus some say the covid cases despite the rigorous testing, social distancing another safety measures are how dangerous and derelict the coronavirus can be.
1:46 pm
brown university school public health, it's good to see you, what is so unsettling about what's happening at the olympics testing positive, you think they would plan and take the precautions in the most sophisticated efforts to prevent people from being infected, yet that is still happening. what does this tell you. >> first of all thank you for having me back. first of all the delta variant is global and it's incredibly contagious, it's so much more contagious than the virus that we dealt with last year or even earlier this year and the second part because the olympics don't have a vaccine mandate in the lot unvaccinated people are showing up they are the source of the spread and it's going to be very hard to control this up a lot of unvaccinated people are in the olympic village and in
1:47 pm
the olympic stadiums. eric: what about the unvaccinated people in our country some for health reasons may not of gotten it and others for political reasons and other reasons have decided not to be vaccinated. >> this is a challenging time people have personal choice and there's also been a lot of misinformation about the vaccine, the truth is the vaccine are exceedingly safe and effective in president trump got it, president biden got a 96% of physicians have gotten it, it's a really important thing for people to be vaccinated with the delta variant circulating it's a pretty dangerous moment to be unvaccinated in america right now. eric: you say the delta variant is so much more contagious, how much more contagious and what causes it to be more contagious? >> how much more somewhere 2 - 3 more times contagious than the original variant from last year, that is a lot and it makes it may be the most are teachers
1:48 pm
respiratory infection that we have seen in our country in a very long time we think it's because of viral load and replicate so much faster that you get a ton more virus in your throat and your long and that means you will shed a lot more virus and affect a lot more people. eric: does that mean the 6-foot distancing the social distancing may not work. >> instilled the same virus and a lot of the stuff will be useful but if you think about the things that we know to prevent it beyond vaccines which is the number one thing you probably do need to have a high quality mask, you do need to think about avoiding crowded indoor spaces may be a bit more than you did last year, all of this is manageable but it will be tough to keep the delta variant at bay. >> i been hearing a lot of antidotes who have been vaccinated yet they test positive, should you wear a mask even if you been vaccinated and
1:49 pm
