economy is his top priority inflation a rare white house meeting by the host and the chairman of the federal reserve, our colleague peter doocy pressed the white house yesterday.

does president bush take any responsibility for his policy potentially contributing to inflation when we talk about the gas prices right now? this is indeed gas, right? and as you mentioned, cauli gas is setting another record today. a gallon of gas now costs four dollars. sixty seven cents, that's over 50 percent from a year ago. the white house says student loan forgiveness won't make inflation worse. >> the impact on inflation in the near term is likely to be is likely to be quite small. but again, because the president hasn't made a decision and we're not talking about a specific plan, i won't speculate specifically ,but i think most of the analysis suggests that the near-term impact would be pretty small things which critics say otherwise quote even partial debt cancelation would be costly, regressive than inflation or inflationary for giving ten thousand dollars per person in debt would cost as much as universal pre-k or

a full extension of the expanded subsidies. bill clinton's former treasury secretary has been warning about inflation for months and says things will get worse when inflation is a bit of both four percent unemployment's been below four percent. we've always had a recession within the next two years. the likelihood is that we're not going to get through this with a soft landing. when biden took office, inflation was just one point four percent. today's eight point three percent. some blame the president's massive one point nine trillion covid relief package. guys certainly have something to do with it. all right, lucas , thank you very much. larry kudlow s president biden knows the economy is headed towards the recession and continues doubling down on bad policy regardless. biden couldn't resist his attack on successful people once again calling for a confiscatory weathertech and punitive international taxes on american companies.

so here we go again. higher taxes will reduce inflation really actually higher tax rates will reduce economic growth incentives and will lead to supply side inflation increases . so there's no inflation reset for mr. biden today. it's vladimir putin's fault. we're going fossil free instead of increasing oil and gas production, we're going to keep on federal spending and borrowing and debt creation and none of this is going to hurt the economy or working folks one bit. he's right about that for dollars. sixty seven cents per gallon of gas every morning we wake up and it's a new record high and it's only going to continue to get worse if we're going to hit five dollars a gallon at some point. absolutely guaranteed. but what's so befuddling to me is how do we respond to this ? what's the answer? student debt forgiveness. i mean, on every single level that is the worst idea

possible. the people that are suffering the most by and large are people that did not go to college so therefore do not have a ridiculous college loan debt. but putting that aside for a moment, pumping even more free money into the economy will do what ? wait for it, make inflation worse. and the fact that this is even a thing that we need to discuss just shows how off the rails this administration is right now. economic policy pretty simple. you pump money in inflation. there's nothing really to discuss yet. this white house continues to do it at every dollar a gallon and there were stories like these anecdotal stories. but still they're happening across the country of gas stations that are adding digits display because it may go to ten dollars a gallon for diesel if it is the same. but you are right to bring up the student loan debt. the bush administration is apparently leaning towards canceling ten thousand dollars in student loan debt per

borrower who makes under one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year. i believe he was supposed to announce that last week. with that, of course, that you bought a school shooting happened. we haven't announced it yet, but i think he's going to get a lot of backlash from people who've already paid off their student loans and also people who say pumping more money into an inflationary economy. could it be the you couldn't have a worse plan when adding yes and adding more money into an economy that already has too much money in it. unbelievable work on that front for sure. so they're fighting that . they're also doing this because this is what the people want to buy. the administration are asking an appeals court to reverse a ruling that lifted the federal nrsc requirement for public transportation when the mandate was ruled unlawful by the court in april when a judge declared that the cdc overstepped its authority by issuing the mandate. the justice department said at the time they would appeal the ruling if they deemed it necessary.

the mandate applied to everyone using public transportation, including children as young as two. all right. no verdict yet. and johnny 50 million dollar defamation trial against ex-wife and are heard after two days of deliberation at the center of a case of her twenty eighteen op ed in which she claimed to be the victim of abuse that was not named in the op ed but claims it severely damaged his public image and career. the jury asked the judge yesterday whether to consider just the title of her op ed or the entire context. the jury returns for the third day of deliberation this morning at 9:00 a.m. eastern time certainly did come back in the case against former clinton campaign lawyer michael sussmann. the jury finding him not guilty of lying to the fbi. republicans labeling that verdict a miscarriage of justice and they want all evidence in the case released to the public judges with the details brooke. >> hey, good morning, guys. that's right. the jury finding michael sussmann not guilty.

sutherlin in twenty sixteen went to the fbi and said he had information linking the trump organization to russia. information and that did not pan out. special counsel john durham says sussmann lied when he said he brought the information to the fbi as a concerned citizen, not as a lawyer working on behalf of the clinton campaign. ultimately, jurors felt differently sussmann delivering a statement shortly after hearing the verdict. listen first i told the truth to the fbi and the jury clearly recognized that with their unanimous verdict today. i'm grateful to the members of the jury for their careful and thoughtful service despite being falsely accused . i'm relieved that justice ultimately prevailed in my case there. i'm saying in a statement that he's disappointed in the outcome but respects the jury's decision. but republican lawmakers are voicing their displeasure. senator marsha blackburn tweeting that the verdict, while deeply disappointing, is

not the end to ensuring this never happens again in america. meanwhile, others are calling for derm to release all of the evidence from his investigation into sesemann . >> many democrats came out and insisted that mueller be allowed to not only produce a report but release it unredacted. it's very important for john durham to do the same thing because the limitations on this trial really did indicate that there's a mountain of evidence that durham has may not have revealed and that this could be an iceberg where we've only seen a small percentage of what he's been able to find. now durham and his team will be back in court in october when russian national igor dan chanko goes before a jury on five counts of lying to the fbi about his role in the anti trump dossier carlita's. >> all right, brooke, thank you very much. let's bring in jameel jaffer, the supreme court justice neil gorsuch and executive director of the national security institute.

jameel, despite the weight of the evidence. did durham really have any legit shot at a conviction with a jury pool the way it was and the obama appointed judge allowing that jury to be the jury? you know, i thought i was actually surprised at the way this played out. i thought the feds actually had a pretty strong case against sussmann. look, i think i think this was a challenging jury pool, as you point out that restrictions on what the judge allowed the, the prosecutors to present . but look, the, the charge were also hard to meet, right? they had had to demonstrate that he was that he was knowingly lying and that he was lying about a material fact. the fact that matter to the fbi decision on whether to go forward. and so this was an uphill battle for the or the prosecution as it is in every case having to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt and in this case unfortunately appears to the prosecutors weren't able to do it when it came. yeah. one of the members of the jury so that they donated to

democrats in 2016. the other said that they strongly dislike donald trump and then the third year actually as a child on the same sports team as michael sussman's child. so interesting jury selection there. devin nunes has been all over this case. he was on "hannity" show last night. here's what he had to say about the outcome. >> okay, we do not have this up, but he did talk about the fact that they can actually see just how bad it's become in washington, d.c. that is something that he says that john durham was able to prove. and i think what he's referring to is the fact that robyn clinton's campaign manager testified that she approved a strategy to bring this false information with trump ties to russia to the media. so the real question is, well, that is obviously unethical. is it illegal and what's next in this john durham investigation? >> well, you know, that's

the interesting part of this whole story, carly, is that , you know, what was clear was michael sussmann was in the middle of providing this information both to the media and the fbi. and so this question of in one case was he was helping the clinton campaign. on the other hand , he wasn't you know, so it's very problematic and you're exactly right to raise the questions about, you know, how is there not a connection between these two have to be a good samaritan . we can have situations on one hand and they've been working politically for the campaign and not be tony fauci, by the way, that you were actually you know, you were responsible for the information going to the media and so i think that presents a real challenge here and continues to raise these questions. these people who are engaged in multiple activities and claiming to know or at least make it appear like they're not i think that makes this a real problem and i think that now, you know, a lot of situations have come out and so now the public is aware of what was going on . and of course we know about that lawyer at the fbi

who lied, kevin kleinsmith on a fisa application against the 5%. and so they have been heavily involved in a very important security undermined when people lie directly in that process and you he got he got he got prosecuted. he was convicted of a felony. but frankly, i think they should throw the book at them and he should have gotten jail time. >> meantime, the sting in the swamp literally supreme court martials reportedly asking clerks coolly the role the i thought to myself,that's o long? >> it's really interesting. the marshal has been appointed by the supreme court justice, chief justice john roberts to investigate the issue. chambers within the supreme court operate in it of itself. each justice runs her own chambers even though they get hr and they worked technically for the whole court. very jealous of their relationship they have with their losses and is unusual to

be asking these law clerks for their cell phone records. but of course we have an unprecedented situation. as far as i'm aware never in history has an opinion leaked beforehand. results on occasion have a leak. but actual opinion? unprecedented but we'll see what happens going forward. >> do you think the leakers is going to be found? >> i think it's going to be very difficult. we've heard about the original case ahead of the decision coming out, some justices said you are not going to question my chambers. other justices cooperated and at the end of the day it came out that a law clerk of justice powell, they accepted that and moved on. so i think it's very hard to find this. a lot of could have been and so it's going to take a lot of work and frankly it's going to take

digging into stuff that i think justices are likely to give up including these phone records. >> a dozen house republicans introduced legislation that would make it a crime for supreme court staffers to leaked draft opinions because they want to make sure something like this never happens again. thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thanks, todd. >> you are very welcome. the funerals beginning shooting victims. mattie rodriguez and joe bars are laid to rest. >> we are learning at the vivaldi district police chief has not responded to the follow-up interview. marianne? >> a grieving community still searching for answers as a teacher who had propped a door open says she did shut it before the gunman entered. according to her lawyer, she

remembers pulling the door closed telling 911 she was shooting for thought the door would lock because that door is always supposed to be locked. the victim's family still struggling to understand why it took school district police 45 minutes for the time the shooting started to breach the classroom. >> believed that he needed more equipment and more officers to do a tactical breach at that point. a little bit of hindsight where i'm sitting now, of course it was not the right decision. it was the wrong decision. mack. >> according to dps, district chief pete arredondo has stopped responding. police have been cooperating with investigators by the chief provided an official dell make an initial interview not responded with the texas rangers that was made two days ago. todd, carly? >> what's the latest with the victims? >> a fourth-grader what she saw inside the classroom as a first

funerals are held for the 21 victims, including 10-year-old mikey rodriguez and emma read gars outcome of the girl held a hero for trying to call for help. >> my friend, she started to call with her phone on. when they did that, set up things, and my teacher, she no who garcia was. and he shot my friend, and my teacher, after that he said good night and started shooting everybody. >> the funeral for teacher irma garcia and her husband joe who died of a heart attack will be held today. the funerals were jose flores jr. and maria bravo. and for the first time, hero

off-duty agent described how he was getting a haircut when his wife, a teacher, texted that an active shooter was on campus. >> as i went in, i saw a whole bunch of kids running out, running off campus. jumping through the windows. cops breaking windows. complete chaos, pretty much. >> the gunman's grandmother who reportedly worked as a teacher's aide has been upgraded after being shot in the face. >> that little girl 'description of what happened... >> heartbreaking. >> unreal. >> white house press secretary is considering executive action on gun control. but she said the president does not believe in increasing school security. listen. >> the president has done everything he can from the federal government. we are looking at other executive actions, that we could possibly do. i know there's been conversations about hardening

schools. that's not something she believes in. does not support a ban on the sale of all handguns. >> walking back biden's comments from monday suggesting a ban on 9 millimeters handguns with the constant cleanup from the biden's team not sitting well with the president. we have a scathing report from a typical white house ally about what's really going on at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. rnc sr. can medications advisor here to unpack all of it. >> we have a big show ahead. all on deck, don't miss this next. ♪ ♪ make way for the first-ever chevy silverado zr2. with multimatic shocks, rugged 33-inch tires, and front and rear electronic locking differentials. dude, this is awesome... but we should get back to work. ♪ ♪

>> president biden says he will send at least rocket shipments to ukraine in the new op ad for "the new york times." biden says that it's critical to ukraine's effort, but the president stressing, we are not enabling ukraine to strike beyond its borders. we do not want a prolonged war just to inflict pain on russia. kremlin declared that such long

range weapons is a redline not to be crossed. >> president biden frustrated for walking back his gas over concerns it's making him look weak. "a so-called cleanup and pain undermines film and smothers the authenticity. it feeds a republican talking point he's not fully in command. a couple of examples the president could be concerned about. >> for god's sake, this man cannot remain in power. >> we do not have a strategy of regime change in russia. >> if chemical weapons were used in ukraine, with that trigger a military response from nato? >> it would trigger a response in kind. >> united states has no intention of using chemical weapons period. paris dinar joins me now and come up paris, is this normal palace intrigue or there's something fundamentally wrong

with how this white house seems to operate? >> thank you for having me. i think the american people are surprised at how bad the biden-harris white house is at every aspect of governing whether it comes to policy or it comes to actually p.r. or actually when it looks at how the biden white house deals with the president who has a series of gaffes. remember, when he speaks they are actually true but we take her word for it when he makes these so-called gaffes, they should be taken as fact, as trooper the problem is the white house knows that the things he says are wrong, shows incompetence, and putting the american people in danger especially when he says that russia can have a minor incursion with ukraine. these are problematic statements that the white house has to fix because the president is just bad at his job. he's totally incompetent. >> the white house pushing back

on that report, "as we said before, no clarification of the president's remarks are ever issued without his direct approval." your reaction to that, paris? >> that's more biden-harris white house spain to try to make the american people feel as if they are in charge and know what's going on. the american people see right through it. the rhetoric doesn't match the reality of it when they said inflation was transitory, the gas prices are a result of biden's invasion of ukraine, the american people sit back and say that's not true, we've been feeling the burden of this economy from months on end well before biden came in this issue with russia. the american people see through it and they are tired of the lies and tired of the inaction. >> joe biden is seeing an exodus of black staffers and frustration from some of those who remain. here's the "politico" headline, 21 black staffers have left the white house since late last year

or planning too soon for your thoughts on this, paris? >> goes to show that this administration is disappointing the black community. not only black american voters who have seen a dramatic decline in support for the biden-harris white house but also from their own staffers. these staffers are leaving in droves because they don't feel empowered, like they have a voice, not being promoted here how can they go home to their communities, talk to their families and tell them that this white house and listens and understands them when they don't feel listened to or understood. that alone not having policies to back it up because i have nothing to show for what they promise to do to uplift and empower what the trump white house did. >> the lack of support, is this another example that they are hiring by the biden white house another example of it in the politics that this administration tries to foist upon all of us? >> it's a great example of again

the rhetoric not matching reality. they want you to believe they are diverse so that it's a welcoming or inclusive place to work but there are so many reports that show the chronic dell my contrary. they show the american people that working for kamala harris, many staffers have said that it's an environment that is hostile. this report shows that the biden white house is not the place to be. it's a sinking ship and people are leaving and so the idea that they are this diverse place that's welcome for black people just seems to not be true but not because of what reporters say but what their own staffers are saying. identity politics like this backfire because it is empty, hollow my in terms of what they are actually doing beer they say they are diverse but they aren't treating their black staffers welfare they say they have policies to help black people but aren't delivering on any of them. >> there is one major take away. the messaging from this white house is not working. do you think that is the reason

that joe biden is issuing the op-ed? he wants to do it in a way where he cannot make a gaffe because he has the power of the edit button when something is written down in text? >> i'm surprised that biden has so many times to write these op-eds. but i'll tell you, the rhetoric doesn't match the reality and they are trying to change things from a p.r. perspective. again, not going to be solved with an op-ed or statement or having k-pop stars come to the white house. they have a policy issue. the policies aren't working and the american people are going to hold them accountable come november because they understand that no amount of p.r., no amount of videos from tiktok celebrities are going to change the fact that americans are suffering directly because of the crises created by the biden-harris white house.

>> to sum up, you say that bts is not going to be able to lower gas prices. that is a dynamite take. you see what i did there? thank you for your time and allow me to make that ridiculous pun. have a great day. with that, did you hear this? >> i knew there would be scrutiny against me if i competed as a woman here but i also don't need anybody's permission. >> transit swimmer leah thomas speaking out. takes her all the way to the olympics but that's sitting well with women that they don't have a shot with thomas. >> we'll talk to a former collegiate swimmer about what this means for the future of women's sports coming up next.

>> paddle borders went over on memorial day. a group of 12 over on the themes river after their rafts got stuck in the current grant one managed to stay for help while fire crews helped rescue five others for their search for the missing women set to resume at 7:00 a.m. this morning. trans swimmer lia thomas shrugging off concerns that she does have a physical advantage over biological feel down the females. >> i knew there'd be scrutiny against me if i competed as a woman. but i also don't need anybody's permission. trans people don't transition for athletics. we transition to be healthy, happy and authentic and our true selves. >> former collegiate swimmer electra joins us to react.

what do you make of what lia thomas had to say in this interview? >> good morning. as a former swimmer, i can honestly say it's been extremely frustrating. to watch lia thomas make a mockery of the sport i grew up loving to be able to compete in for many years. regardless of the fact that you are competing because of the authentic self, they have a biological advantage over various female competitors and that's why this argument has to come down to hard-core science and fact. the science shows that men have a natural physical advantage over women and this doesn't change by identifying as the opposite gender. so while thomas can say that he's competing to be his doesn't change the factthat has. inherent biological advantage. down to the dna and we saw the

result of this at the ncaa women's swimming championship. dominated the competition because had statistical advantages and was slightly better than the competition. naturally have a larger waistband, lung capacity. all these advantages are significant in a sport like swimming because the difference between a win and a loss comes down to a tenth of a second. >> thomas says no intention at stopping at the collegiate level. >> are there olympics in your future? >> it's been a goal of mine for a very long time and i would love to see that soon. >> isn't the whole explanation by tom is completely selfish? >> it absolutely is selfish. it's ignoring the root of the issue. when men are allowed to compete as women, it's women who are being hurt. women are being actively discriminated before our very eyes and immediately stand up and demand action.

men have a biological advantage that is embedded down to their d telling dna and it doesn't change identifying to the opposite gender. we have to return to the science that proves there is no advantage between men and women. this isn't rocket science but this is science that's been taught since the early days in elementary school. small children can tell the difference between men and women. when the scientist tossed out the window, women are hurt and will continue to be hurt because thomas was allowed to compete and because thomas was able to compete, riley had to wait for her shift. this is insulting. for thomas just to say that it doesn't matter that he doesn't have an advantage, it selfish, wafting over the pima athletes stepping want to get to the top and while this might not be the intent, can't ignore the reality that the advantage is still there. >> what do you think the role should be when it comes to trans athletes and women in sports?

it is by no means a common occurrence but it could become increasingly common now that more young people are identifying as transgender. >> well we have to take this conversation and bring it back to the root of the issue which is that when men compete as women, women are hurt, women are just cremated against and we have to start this conversation early and just nip it in the bud because you can't be inclusive while actively discriminating against a whole group of competitors. so the solution isn't rocket science. it's about returning integrity and fairness to the competition. so athletes with ex-x chromosomes should also compete with athletes with ex-x chromosomes. specifically athletes with x why chromosomes should compete with ex-y chromosomes. we have to return fairness because that's where this issue is coming from. it's not fair to make women have to make up for some biological difference that they have no control over. no amount of hormone suppression or gender therapy is going to change the advantage embedded

into men's dna. this issue is protecting fairness and integrity and likely we are seeing this being felt across the nation as 18 states have stood up and defended their constituents saying we are going to protect our women in a way the ncaa obviously could not. >> this is just the latest in a radical agenda being pushed by the administrators at the ncaa. it's so striking that this comes after title ix, with all the advancements that women ultimately made in sports, in collegiate sports. to have this chipped away is shocking and i know someone with a daughter and one on the way, is very concerning to the extent my daughters were able to play collegiate sports. we appreciate your time and your insights. thank you. >> thank you. thank you, alexei. prime minister announced a hand to preach handgun sales and approving a plan to legalize certain amounts of hard drugs like cocaine and meth? what is going on with our

neighbors up north? can you believe that? >> fentanyl poisoning is a leading cause of death among adults ages 18-45. let that settle in for a moment you're talking to parents of young men killed by the substance who warns of this could happen to anyone.

9400 deaths due to illicit drugs in british columbia including a record 2024 just last year. >> here at home, the fentanyl crisis is taking a heavy toll on families across the nation including our next guest. his son dylan died of poisoning one year ago. his father and stepmother join me now. good morning to you both. i know you just became comfortable talking about your son's death so we thank you so much for coming on with us this morning and sharing his story. todd, i've been reading a lot about dylan. he seemed like a wonderful hardworking loving son. so i'd like you to start by telling us about him. what do you like us to know about him? >> the picture they just showed, cattle was his love. he helped my dad and myself in our ranch business since he was in a crib. he walked with me, he helped us

beat them, helped made the hay for them. between that and our logging operations, he was an outdoors kid. he loved being outdoors. he loved riding dirt bikes and he was very good at it. >> truly one of the things that was notable to me about your stepson is like todd said, he was in the family logging business and did so to also support his grandparents who were no longer working and he hurt his back and he started taking pain pills. what happened next? >> well, he hurt his back, like you said, working on the farm. we thought that he was getting them legally through a physician, through a health care provider. and through a pharmacy i think he may have in the beginning but without health insurance he was 26 when he hurt his back. no longer on our insurance.

he went to other avenues and unfortunately that was through a local drug dealer. we found out through one of our children that he was using illegal drugs. todd confirmed he had a very emotional heart to heart. todd checked in with him every day. said, are we okay, do i need to worry? every day he would tell todd come i don't have to worry about me. i'm okay patel's mom, i'm a big boy, don't need to worry about me. several months after that conversation, eight months after that conversation, that's when we found him dead at home. >> wow. todd, after he died, the autopsy showed that one of the pain pills he was taking included a lethal dose of fentanyl. your message is that if it's going to happen to your family, it could happen to anybody. what do parents need to know about this?

>> first of all they need to know that a tiny, tiny amount of fentanyl, whatever it's in, whether it's cocaine or even in marijuana, or oxycodone or whatever. it takes such a minuscule amount in that one pill to take someone's life. and no one should pay for their life for one mistake. >> absolutely. >> they should not. especially when they are young. this happens so often to young people who just make a silly mistake and it cost them their lives. there is so much fentanyl in this country right now. do you think enough is being done to address this? we have had other antidrug campaigns in this country that have been successful but we haven't seen one. when it comes to fentanyl, why

is that? >> one, i think covid has been in the spotlight now for over two years. i think this will be the new spotlight. we are new to this. we are just trying to figure out how to get the word out there. i worked a little bit with the dea in spokane, they've been working on this for a while. we were just... we started getting our story told. i contacted the local reporters that i knew, and then you guys called us and we are thinking for that. we just want to start with education and we are going to start from the bottom and work our way up. >> thank you so much for sharing dylan's story. we are going to keep your family and our prayers for sure. >> i appreciate you getting the

story out there because what we have suffered through his awful. i hope we can help someone. >> absolutely. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> the national gas average surging to $4.67 per gallon. we asked the white house how they expect people to pay for it and we'll show you what they said. >> plus maria bartiromo, all joined us on a jam-packed wednesday. don't go anywhere.
