in just minutes will land in south korea and the present six day asian swing intended to highlight trade and global economy as well as sending a message to china to stay out of taiwan. the president preparing for the trip tweeting i'm on my way to the republic of korea and japan and my first trip to asia as president. i look forward to strengthening alliances and deepening economic alliances and help shape the rules of the road for the 21st century. but as you guys mention, the president's trip overshadowed by the mountain crises he leaves here behind. the record inflation and baby formula shortage but the soaring gas prices front and center, as you mentioned, look at this just released a new daily record high $4.59 for a gallon of gas and that is up 1 cent from yesterday. and thursday to pass the kratz bill with price gouging on gasoline. yet members of the president's

cabinet want to place the blame on russia instead. >> you can thank the activity of vladimir putin for invading ukraine and pulling -- >> and nonsense, withhold their respects that is utter nonsense. >> other cabinet members simply refusing to acknowledge the pain americans are feeling at the pump. >> do you believe the gas prices are too high? >> americans are still recovering from this terrible pandemic. there are a lot of other world events that are making things difficult. >> so since you are unwilling to say gas prices are too high. >> we are doing all we can, senator. >> and first flight of baby formula oversees are announced, when republican announced highlighting the struggle. >> this is baby army. we have been struggling as parents to find formula now for months to it's always the biden administration just now kind of waking up flat-footed out of

touch to take this on? why didn't they do that months ago? why didn't congress move months ago? we are putting out the stuff last night. >> all this time, carley, for house democrats and internal polling from dccc with generic republicans with an eight-point lead. now, first up, we should soon seem president biden with south korean counterparts within the hour. >> carley: thank you robert charles a former secretary of state naval officer joins us. robert, i want to get your take on the president's trip to south korea today. yesterday, senate minority leader mitch mcconnell said it was a well-timed trip and alliance building trip. but some people struggling at home feel otherwise. how do you see it? >> i think both of those points are accurate. this is being billed as a trip with trade, it will be in japan,

tokyo and also south korea and he will also meet australia indian prime minister's. but this is really a security trip. this is a message to china that if you can believe that they are still in the game and we are still in the game and we will not let anything happen. but the reality is it is running away from the stories you just ran. there is a record high inflation rate coming our way. we have gasoline prices out of control. we have baby formula not being able to be found by parents. it is not an act of courage to jump to the other side of the world when your own country is obviously in trouble. >> the numbers are stark. gas up $0.18 just over last week and it wasn't just last week, you know, roberts, $3.04 one year ago and then come of course, the formula situation which is not good. hopefully, we will beginning better soon but not soon enough. in order to make this trip worth it what message does china need

to receive and does joe biden need to send to them? otherwise to your point, this is just a well-timed way of trying to divert from the crises at home. >> yeah, i think all of us as americans understand that this looks an awful lot like a deflection and running away from problems with poll numbers in the basement. but i think the bottom line todd and carley, we have to be sending a clear message to china. everything happening in russia is unfortunate, but it is not significant as china is as a threat to the country. we need to be saying straightforwardly, we are there and that region. we have vital interest in the region. the islands that china developed a relationship with and it looks like militarized, we love so many soldiers on the silent end world war ii and biden not to be talking about that. he ought to be talking about the fact that security in that region to defend the las including taiwan and we will be

doing that. at the end of the day, this is a security trip and not an economic trip even though semiconductor he factory. but i would also argue that president of the united states ought to be thinking first and foremost and i don't care how you think about it first and foremost the people of the united states of america here that is who he is elected to represent and protect. right now, you have gasoline $6, $7 an a gallon and that is a function of overspending and shutting down the energy sector. who did that? the democrats did that. >> carley: i want to ask about the michael sussmann trial. yesterday the former general counsel james baker testified he is 100% confident that sussmann tonight acting on behalf of any particular client. this is, of course, the very thing jon graham is trying to prove. is that testimony from baker a nail in the coffin? >> i will phrase it this way

carley. all of us at one time have worn a sweater. no kidding if you start to pull a threat out of the sweater or a piece of yarn, that sweater will come apart ultimately. this looks to me, this sussmann trial and major testimony and the allies testimony and the fact no mistrial was declared last week, i actually think this is the thread that is pulling at the entire clinton campaign. so the bottom line is, there is a text, emails, texts indicating that this lawyer for the clinton campaign said to the general counsel of the fbi i'm coming to see you want on a time sensitive matter. i want to see you but it has nothing to do within the client. if that is not true, that is the beginning of a longer discussion, ultimately in a court of law but the clinton campaign was doing as they put their lawyer up to the task of seeming to mislead the fbi. that is pretty serious --

>> carley: it does feel like the beginning of a longer discussion for sure. thank you for joining us this morning. always appreciate your insight. all right, now to the border crisis, southern communities are pleading to keep title 42 in place. the biden administration is looking to lift that public health order on monday. texas governor greg abbott said he's dealing with the biden administration and what they should be doing taking steps to crack down and not let up on immigration. >> joe biden has not only never been to the borden but not working with the head of government. i had to step up and work with the mexican governors to get an agreement where the mexican governors protected and they themselves are employing border security strategies to prevent people from coming across their borders. >> carley: and in el paso come officials to declare a state of the merchants the judge said were funding as a number of

migrant apprehensions continued to rise. the border patrol chief secretary were as will join us later on in the state of el paso ripped by order passes. for internal trafficking, signing a bill establishing a seven year mandatory minimum sentence for selling up to 14 grams of fentanyl and mandatory sentence of 20 years for selling over 14 grams. the southern border policies are fueling the mass confusion of fentanyl into the country. >> todd: congressional black caucus have many scratching their heads, listen. >> three people in korean owned hair salons and yet another white supremacy's replacement there. >> todd: here is the problem with that, she blamed white supremacy for a shooting there even though the suspect in that case is the guy you see on your

screen, and his black appear there you go. and the day of the shooting commit happen monday when it happened may 11th. three women were shot nor released from the hospital and are recovering this morning. greg gutfeld laying in with this take, listen. >> are you responsible for a person's grant because you share a pigment? and hasn't it been drilled in every person's white -- white person's head not to do this especially when it comes to race? this is what the democrats are writing on and it is a unicycle with a flat tire. this loss of identity politics and the only thing good and i own everything bad which is not. the white madman. >> carley: fox news exclusively an arrest warrant for stabbing a stand up high school lacrosse player to death. that happened in connecticut and reportedly alcohol fueled attack happening in a house party when students from opposing

high school showed up and asked to lead. the warrant reads "a physical altercation with multiple to take place on the front lawn. there was one stab point to the left side of the chest. the stab wound went through the ribs and heart. the 16-year-old suspect is being charged as an adult purity faces one count of murder and two counts of first-degree assault. the suspects father said this. >> is there anything you want to say? >> i'm sorry. >> what was that? speak warm sorry. >> carley: a wake is being held today and his parents remember him sunshine of their life. >> todd: actress ellen parker testifying on behalf of amber heard, he was a controlling boyfriend when she dated him into ''90s, listen. >> a jealous man, controlling where are you going and who were you going with? what did you do last night? he was drunk a lot of the time.

and throwing wine bottles across the room hotel room in one instance in las vegas while we were shooting in las vegas. >> todd: heard also previously testified he threw bottles during their relationship hear the trial in the final stretch with closing arguments expected to begin with next friday. >> carley: now this headpiece, that is what elon musk is calling sexual harassment claim and tweeting wild accusations are utterly untrue. the attack against me should be viewed through a political lens. this is their standard, despicable playbook. the accusation coming from spacex flight attendant. business inside reporting accuses musk exposing himself and rubbing her leg and offering to buy a horse for a rub massage. and to describe anything at all, scars, tattoos that is not known by the public and said she would not be able to do so because it

never happened. >> todd: get this, twitter said warning labels to tweak dean's viral misinformation. and the tools will only be used to help ensure viral misinformation is not amplified or recommended by us during crises. twitter says define a crisis as a situation in which there is a widespread threat to life, physical safety or health. they are failing to use a variety of methods that are misleading tweets. the left has a distorted interpretation of disinformation. >> nobody is against this information. and they promise the board will actually protect civil liberties so you don't need to worry. but the democrats think every piece of reporting or every few that subverts their agenda or contravenes their view is disinformation. prior to the elections they called hunter biden laptop that we now is authentic russian disinformation and caught it

censored from the internet. so, when you put these extremely elastic phrases as the centerpiece for the government's power, they can control hate speech, disinformation. that is exactly when constitutional rule liberty violations start to occur. >> carley: well met, listen to this a senior print go south of texas high school and will fit the bill costing thousands of dollars in damage on campus. kids with firing off fire distinguish errors. this happened at memorial high school. officials say they approved a small group of students to put a large number of posts everywhere. this situation clearly, quickly dissolve. the class has had to be canceled because of air quality police and firefighters were called and the students face criminal charges. that is much more than post-it notes. >> todd: and the great words of great ron burgundy, that escalated quickly and got out of

hand. >> carley: he always knows. congressman byron donalds is going democrats putting woke lesson plans over actual learning. >> should this paragraph talking about explicit bias or racial bias be included in a mathematic quote, this is math now? >> carley: we will bring more of that exchange coming up. >> todd: congressional candidate bernie jones in indiana mikita talking about trauma. all to start your friday morning with "fox & friends first" " ♪♪ ♪♪ you had me at allison® 10-speed transmission. ♪♪ features available on gmc sierra heavy duty.

we worked on the railroad and he was laid off. we are used to taking things in stride and 11 day at a time. to keep our bills afloat. >> carley: jamaal can only take it one day at a time by average gas prices in alabama for dollars $0.31 and a year ago $2.85. >> wow! >> carley: how much are you spending on gas a day, month per business? >> right now, right now, about $100 a day for the truck alone. another and then we have a weekly expense of 115 and propane.

it is killing them. but the person, every time you look around it's going up by the day. >> carley: jamaal how much were you spending before? how much of a difference is it now? >> a few months ago about $40, $50 and now another $10 to fill up the generator. and so a couple of months as it relates to gas. in trying to compensate and go out about 30 miles if you can. so you have to look to make those adjustments. >> carley: jason i know you are if popular food truck and you have cat fish, french fries, hamburgers and all the good stuff, but are you able to turn a profit when you are looking at having to pay double in terms of gas? >> yes, we will say the margins

are very small. but very missed margins. and right now trying to not have to increase our prices just so we can have profit bottom line numbers. >> carley: i'm so glad to hear it because we need small business owners to do well so the economy across the border can do well. as well, where is your food truck going to be because i'm sure some people in birmingham are watching right now. >> and so we will go downtown called the health services on sixth avenue and 15th street. we will set up and go out for lunch, catfish friday. some chicken, smoked wings. >> carley: it is only 4:30 in the morning but i'm telling you that brisket sandwich that i saw

that is not only wrong but racist. >> carley: vernon i'm sure you remember all these companies think this voting law would suppress specifically the black vote. you have major league baseball and pulled the all-star game out of atlanta to show the unwavering support. delta argued the bill will make it harder for many underrepresented voters. coca-cola chiming in saying voting is a fundamental right in america, which of course is true but this law supports that notion. and then specifically you remember major league baseball pulling the all-star game out of atlanta and moving it to denver here there are so many more black-owned businesses in atlanta. all of those people really suffer the consequences. >> welcome it interesting because atlanta prospers 50,000 americans but they move the game to denver, which is 90% of african american businesses. so black businesses, everybody

really suffers when major league baseball did that. as a matter of fact, i'm not surprised they didn't move the headquarters in new york because the state of new york election laws the walls were stricter than georgia. so really, it was a bunch of nothing about nothing. they played the race car. that is what democrats do. i'm not surprised this was an overall plan to get black people and minorities wound up for election because that is the blade book the democrats used during election. they don't have this news to stand on but use race. >> todd: i can virtually guarantee none of the ceos rarely mention actually read the georgia voting rights bill. speaking of being uninformed, the view host comparing republicans to domestic terrorism, listen. >> washington really gives me a place were stopping domestic terrorism is divisive. i guess we are part of the problem. [laughter] >> todd: your reaction to those comments.

>> every time whoopi goldberg opens her mouth america loses blood cells. but they won't talk about how many black and how many republicans, including myself, we were attacked by black lives matter and antifa, how many cities they burnt down because myself and others were supporting president trump. they were the terrorist in children were killing black children and law enforcement officers were attacked. there was a mob out there and what did they do? they encourage people to go out and turn over people's dinner tables and attack people in restaurants among other things. they were being terrorists so hypocrisy of what they are saying. but again this is the far left and they will use anything they can to win and election and maybe i should say steal the elections. >> todd: understood vernon jones we appreciate your time and insight, good luck, a big day in georgia coming up on tuesday. we will see what happens. vernon jones -- a recount study.

ethnic and racial diversity was predicted by many, right, to be the deciding factor that would put the g.o.p. into the path of extinction. it is actually turning into an asset and literal advantage. and i say that because you take a look at what happened with glenn youngkin and the governor's race in virginia. mind you, this is where we had latino central american, latin american and yes latin america and puerto rican he won 25% of the vote in the top state where this is supposed to be a blue wall. >> carley: let's get into that and focus on the specific spirit obviously the economic parade of horrible affects everyone of us but latinos by and large are god fearing people here they go to church and they are very religious. how much is the biden and quite frankly the democrat agenda, the social agenda driving the majority of latinos a way to the republicans? >> welcome of course latinos are

very uncomfortable with how comfortable this administration is with socialist type policies. one of the things, of course, i talk about how we are getting more and paid less. it turns out latinos and americans are getting fleeced by hunter biden. this is something that of course latinos have seen throughout latin america and central america and mexico. the corruption that happens right those being governed. the biden family turns out to put the people to shame here they are operating out of the same playbook all the time it turns out. latinos are still americans. >> todd: that is a fascinating perspective and not just the socialist. it is the corruption they are used to seeing from their country. quickly, and 15 seconds. the story of the midterms and how the role of the latinos play.
