♪ will: and your "fox & friends" champion, carley shimkus! [applause] carley: i've never won anything in my life! pete: have a great saturday, everybody. ♪ ♪ neil: fox on top of two storms, one in florida where severe weather could be making an early arrival of what is -- ahead of what they're calling a busy hurricane season. even though that coast is ache thing a pounding as we speak, severe flooding could be an issue here. up to 15 inches of inrain. that other storm is of a manmade variety in washington where

calls are growing to prevent future mass shootings. the president has a plan he's pushing, but not all republicans, even some democrats, are buying. a bipart a san group of lawmakers searching for common ground. welcome, everybody, i'm neil ca view eau. very good to have you in the weekend -- cavuto. a very busy weekend because across the pond and all the way to london we have the jubilee going on. we'll give you the latest there. first to florida right now where i guess drenched is the word of the moment. will nunley -- >> reporter: neil, good morning. yeah, the three days we've been monitoring this storm system, this has been the heaviest of the rain, started about 3:00 morning leading to moderate flooding in riviera beach and west palm beach where we're standing. it's nice and clear, but actually in praises it's half a foot to a foot deep. this is a1a. this is not quite as dramatic as some of the scenes just down the road in miami but, sure enough,

this is the kind of water you don't want to hit with any speed. they're starting some road closures here. you're right, this is not a hurricane, not a system that necessarily has a name, but there are some names being dropped among people who have been trying to vacation including knew sans and troublemaker and vacation ruiner. you have to feel for all the a thousands of people who are in this area trying to have a family vacation, they paid those gas prices, they paid for the hotel rooms just to have this three-cay washout. and final -- three-day washout x. finally we believe some relief is going to be on the way overnight into tonight, a little better picture for sunday, but it's going to take a little while for water like in the to recede. these problems are just going to continue to build. the fox weather team is on top of this on your free fox weather app. neil? neil: you always are, will. appreciate that. stay dry or try to. will nunley in the middle of all that in palm springs. let's go to the political storm

brewing right now over gun control, weapon control, whatever you want to call it right now. the president's ideas, democrats have ideas, republicans have ideas, but at least the two sides are talking. lucas tomlinson with more on that from the white house. >> reporter: good morning, neil. i don't have to remind you and our viewers that it's congress ma takes the -- makes the laws in this country, so biden's going to need the help of republicans and particularly at least 10 republican senators to get anything moving. >> my staff is dealing, has been dealing constantly with every member of the house and senate who's wanted to talk about guns. it's been a constant interchange, and i've been constantly briefed. i will do what i can to try to she we have some real progress -- see we have some real progress. >> reporter: in his prime time address he claims in the 10 years it was law, mass shootings were with down. the 2004 study by the university

of pennsylvania funded by the department of justice the found the following about the ban, quote: should it be renewed, the ban's effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement. there could be more tracks on a number of the president's proposals, raise the minimum age to purchase a firearm from 18 to 21 and add a three-day waiting period as florida did the after the parkland shooting. some call it a cooling-off period. >> i believe this time a majority of the american people won't give up either. i believe the majority of you will act to turn your outrage into making this issue central to your vote. enough, enough, enough. >> reporter: some people would also like the president to deal with what they call a public health crisis, mental health crisis, neil, and also the american family. experts say a vast majority of these shooters come from broken

homes. neil? neil: lucas, thank you for that. by the way, the president is in delaware this weekend. we'll keep you posted if he has anything to say. meanwhile, to john to conner, the republican oklahoma attorney general kind enough to join us. general, thank you for taking the time. is there common ground in your eyes, sir? where would it be? >> yeah, neil, thank you. thanks for having me onboard. first of all, let me say this, we thank the people around the country who have given thoughts and prayers in support of the people here in tulsa. i also want to thank law enforcement. they were at the scene within three minutes of the call, so we appreciate their service. i think there is room for common ground, but i think we need to look at where the real culprit is. the real culprit's not a gun. the real culprit is either criminals or people who either long term or temporarily are dealing with depression or some type of mental illness. neil: but should that come out,

general, in a background check? the assailant here, in tulsa got the gun legally, is so we don't have much more to go on than that unless you have new information you can share. hen the issue -- then the issue becomes does something slip up in the background checks we do have? >> i'm told that mr. lewis, the shooter, would have passed a background check. so i don't think he had any significant or contributory criminal background or mental health history. so then you ask the question, well, how far do you have to go in background checks in terms of banning people from having guns. and so i know the people of oklahoma, the majority of the elected leaders anyway, don't believe that guns are the problem and support the second amendment. so the -- i think that most people are probably thinking that we should increase our safe

i measures in schools and hospitals and medical care facilities like we do courthouses. oklahoma already bans guns in courthouses and jails and bars and schools, colleges. so there are, there are measures we can take right now, neil, for public safety, but we do need to look at mental health. that's, you know, we should train our people to detect mental health even if it's temporary the, even if like in the case of this shooter, he got a surgery, he was not satisfied with the pain if management, apparently. and just had an aberrant response. think of the millions of people who have had surgery who have not been happy with the pain response but have made it through it and haven't gone and gotten a gun and shot a couple of doctors, some p.a.s and a receptionist. neil: i am wondering what

they're cooking up on capitol hill and where they seem to be finding agreement, general, is on this notion of a waiting period if you have doubts or concern not the that guns would be denied, but if there are questions, they would be delayed. what do you think of that? >> well, obviously it makes sense to delay if you have some indication that this is going to be used in a crime or that the person who's applying is dealing with some type of mental situation, but how would you have known this? that's what i'm saying. it's drawing the line that is going to be very difficult. it almost seems like we would get to the point where somebody's going to say if we're afraid of somebody or alarmed at somebody or if somebody disagrees with us, then they're on the watch list. and i just don't know where -- if you look at the recent shooters, it seems like their situations arose spontaneously and situationally, and i don't know how you detect them.

neil: sir, we're learning right now that the ohio governor and ohio in general are poised to right now the recommend arming teachers in schools. very different than the tulsa hospital shooting you and your constituents had to deal with. but what do you make of that, putting arms in the hands of people who could defend themselves when such a shooting occurs? >> well, i'd say, first of all, we have to deal with public safety the, so i would absolutely be doing that, and i'd be doing it right now. and i'd probably go to the point of having a security person at the front desk, and i'd also have security where you have to get buzzed in, and i would also look at our windows and see if they can be breached and our doors. so public safety's number one, and public safety has to be dealt with right now, and we need to allocate the funds to do that. neil: all right. separately, again, this doesn't quite relate to what happened, tragically, in your state, sir,

but new york -- at least the state legislature -- has already moved to ban assault weapons to those turned the age of 21. what do you think of that? >> well, first of all, just about everything that new york does oklahomans are going to want to do the opposite, so -- and as your prior reporter just said, you know, banning assault weapons looks like it's a big action, but it really isn't a big with impact. so we're going to dance around all this, neil, for a long time, but the fact is it's criminals and people with some type of either long-term or temporary mental illness or depression, that's the culprit. only those people shoot people outside of our military. neil: do we make it easier on them, sir, if we, if there are so many guns? we have more guns than we do people in this country, and there might be a point at which you could say, all right, there's a bit of a trade-off on

things that we, republicans, second amendment advocates want and those who want to push that too far. is there a middle ground on that to say, all right, there is a limit? >> well, yeah. so, neil, you know, in america we discuss things, and i think, i think always we should have the discussions and see where would the outcome exceed the value of the detriment of the imposition of a restriction. so a discussion on this would be a good idea. but, again, we have to -- we can't dance around the topic. we need to train people to detect mental illness or depression, we need to have easier ways to get people into treatment and care quickly. with we need to have easier ways to report this to mental health. i mean, honestly, it's just mental health has been the stepchild of physical health forever. and we're realizing now that

every once in a while somebody with a mental health issue erupts, and the question is, in my opinion, neil, we should be devoting attention to that. neil: all right. attorney general john o'connor, thank you very much. we'll see what happens next. thank you for joining us on the weekend here. >> thank you the, neil. neil: in the meantime -- thank you, sir. on the issue of crime and what we do about it, reprimand for the los angeles d. the a. who -- d.a. who might have been too lenient, so lenient that he's essentially billion overruled. after this. no, he's seizing the moment with merrill. moving his money into his investment account in real time and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. this isn't just freight. your money never stops working for you with merrill, these aren't just shipments. they're promises. promises of all shapes and sizes.

neil: all right, lenient prosecutors no more? well, not exactly are. but in l.a. they've had enough of it. a california appeals court all ruling that the los angeles district attorney, gascon, will go too far and not really -- in not really striking down those who have already violated the

three strikes law. there's a little bit of degree of how far to go after that thing and whether cast -- gascon will change his ways and not be so lenient when it comes to repeat offenders. tom due -- dupree, what do you make of it? >> the california appeals court has basically ordered the los angeles district attorney to do his job, to follow the law, to charge these three strikes cases when the facts present it. it's pretty extraordinary, neil, that a court would have to order a prosecutor to basically follow the law. neil: so in the case, you know, he's had a long reputation -- he's not the only one, in new york there are similar concerns where prosecutors, again, encourage almost this turnstile-type punishment for repeat offenders. but is there a signal here that the court could be sending that the others should be listening to? >> i think there is a signal, neil, because, look, the california court of appeals is not exactly known for being in

the conservative vanguard. they're generally a liberal court, and even this court says, look, enough is enough. you're elect as the district attorney. your job, the voters put you in this office to apply the law, to prosecute felons, to keep people safe, and he basically refuses to do it. i mean, look, if he wants to pursue a progressive agenda, god bless him, but he shouldn't be doing in his job as district attorney for los angeles. neil: you know, tom, i'm wondering if it wasn't so much a legal issue as much as an emotional one in that crime has risen markedly in the los angeles county area and beyond, and that was the backdrop of this decision. >> i think that's right. i mean, look, judges like everyone else, and they live in these communities, and they can see that there's been a substantial town turn in public safety. and it doesn't take the einstein to figure out that one of the reasons for this is that you have or prosecutors -- in this case the head prosecutor concern who basically refuses to apply

the law and do what it takes to keep people safe. in the lawsuit, neil, was brought by his deputies, by other prosecutors in los angele- neil: that's right. you're right about that. >> it's ridiculous. hopefully, hl be the turning point, yeah. neil: well, we can only hope. and as you mentioned einstein, at least during can his time the crime wasn't nearly so rampant. let me switch gears and talk about the navarro case, he was talking about -- after getting indicted by a grand jury for refusing to the testify at the january 6th committee, prime time scheduled next week. why was he particularly fingered and others who have been, you know, just as, you know, difficult let's say for the committee, but it showed some cooperation with the committee, some areas were not? >> i think you put your finger on it. i think the difference with navarro is it almost seemed like

he was spoiling for a fight. he was stone thewalling the committee, and the committee said, fine, let's play hardball. other witnesses, to your point, they were more willing to negotiate, to compromise, to cooperate a little bit. they just weren't giving the full back of the hand, stonewall treatment the, and that's probably what set the committee and the justice department off against navarro. neil: a good legal question for you and maybe you can help me with it, isn't all a moot point if republicans take over congress, particularly mt. housl this goes away, but does that necessarily mean indictments go away? >> i think it probably would. if you've got a situation where the republicans come in -- and, look, i think the january 6th committee and the democrats know that the clock is probably ticking against them. that that's one reason why i think they are trying to move so quickly. because if-and-a-half the row is being prosecuted -- navarro is being prosecuted for defying a

subpoena and the committee evaporates or is dissolved, i don't see how you continue to prosecute that case. neil: you know, when i ask a dumb question, you can make it seem like it wasn't such a dumb question. i always wondered about that. tom, thank you very much. have a safe weekend, my friend. the former deputy assistant the attorney general of the united states of america. all right. crossing the pond right now and the big celebration, the country that once ruled america, britain is celebrating the queen's jubilee. 70 years, the longest serving monarch forget about british history, in human history. none have served longer. i don't know what the record was on king tut the, but we're told it's significantly longer than even his reign. the latest what they're planning to celebrate the queen. alex hogan live in london. >> reporter: good morning, neil. there's a whole list of festivities in the last couple days, but there is still so much more to come. we'll break down some of the tensions in the royal family as people here in london and across

the country celebrate the platinum jubilee. we'll be right back. it showed how much my family was really rooted in campbell county. we discovered that our family has been in new mexico for hundreds of years. researching my family has given me a purpose. ♪ it wasn't me by shaggy ♪ you're never responsible for unauthorized for hundreds of years. purchases on your discover card.

♪ ♪ neil: all right, the celebrations continue for her majesty, the queen. she has been the monarch of choice 70 years now and still going strong. she's had to, you know, beg out of a couple of events but, you know, obviously she's with the british people in spirit and they with her. alex hogan in london what they're planning for today and tomorrow when they wrap all of this up. >> reporter: hi, neil. it is a beautiful afternoon after a rainy morning, but things are definitely taking a change as people get out and

celebrate day three of the platinum jubilee. we just received this footage of the queen earlier in here, she's petting her horses but she, unfortunately, will not be at one of the main events today which is the derby. she will not be attending that with the rest of the royal family. so far in the weekend we've seen the trooping the kohl hour, military trade the, a flyover and a church service. there's also a pageant tomorrow and a concert tonight with performers who are just as excited. >> i've grown up with this woman, you know? i was 7 when she came to the throne. is she's always been part of my life, you know? and the fact that i've never -- met her on several occasions makes it even more important for me. >> reporter: the queen has worked with 14 prime ministers and met with 13 of the last 14 u.s. presidents. while it is a nationwide

celebration, there has been some tension in the week between royal family members especially yesterday at st. paul's cathedral. the duke and duchess of sussex, harry and meghan, were met with cheers as well as boos, and inside the service they were set separate from the rest of their immediate family. across the country today there are major celebration. a lot of the streets here are closed for street parties. stores and streets are decorated and while people will likely not see the queen today, there is potential for that that happening. people are still sending their well wishes and giving all of their respect to this monarch who has now led for seven decades. neil? neil: just incredible, alex. by the way, appreciate that. alex hogan in london. so any family feuding that we should be aware of? you sort of heard about the separation of william and kate and, obviously, the separate sitting area for harry and

meghan, a lot of drama here. a royal expert joins us now, jonathan, thank you for taking the time. can you educate me a little bit, jonathan, on who was in charge of the seating arrangements for the big memorial mass yesterday? looking back at the queen's life and the significance of the jubilee. who decides where people sit? >> well, these things are very carefully planned and quite long in advance. so there'll have definitely been a lot of thought going into where different members of the family sit as well as where all the other guests sit. there were many people there, and they were seated according to seniority but also, we suspect, avoiding anyone really stealing the limelight or causing any gossip or speculation about how members of the family are getting on. and these things will work according to a protocol at first and after that --

[inaudible] it is quite possible that her majesty, the queen, may have had input herself because of the awkward situations in the family recently. she's certainly had to make some tough calls. for example, the choice who would be on the balcony, and there have been public discussions about using only working royals -- neil: right. >> not only prince harry, but also her oldest, prince andrew, some embarrassment. neil: so in other words, it can provide you cover to limit it to working royalty. you know, jonathan, there's been a great deal of attention on harry and meghan, maybe tension with william and kate, his father, prince charles, going babb to that oprah interview. but i guess the first significant sign i saw of how ill it's gotten is when they were booed, harry and heg man -- meghan, coming out of that service. i don't believe i've ever heard

that at least in britain. what was the significance there? how are they being received? >> well, it's interesting because there were some boos also for boris johnson, the prime minister. now that, i think, people consider fair game because he's somebody we elect and, of course, there are people who like him and don't like him. but when it comes to the royal family, much more unusual that there should be that kind of booing. they're usually something of a unifying force, and that's really, i think, getting at the heart of the problem with harry and meghan. it's within extremely -- been extremely difficult, and it's not gone down well in britain. it's mainly been a small group of people who did the booing with others cheering to try to drown it out. but we were talking earlier about who sat where, and perhaps some family weddings, members of the family who don't talk to other members, we try to be diplomatic about where we sit people. the same is true of in the

family, it's just there are possibly millions watching them. and so it's all a little bit more speculated over by the press, by the media. i think these are very difficult problems, but let's not forget what meghan and harry have accused the royal family of in the those interviews. hay accused the family of ignoring her suicidal tendencies, stopping her from getting therapy, being racist towards her unborn child, cutting them off from money when the rest of the world was going through crisis due to lack of work because of the covid lockdown. i think people just found them completely out of tune and out of touch with everyday people's problems. that's an occupational hazard for royalty. they try to balance that very well, and i think meghan and harry going it alone have not necessarily managed to keep that balance. neil: that's a very interesting point on that because the racist thing in particular, to your point, jonathan, really santorum in the craw of the world,

particularly -- stuck in the craw of the world, particularly prince charles and prince william. thank you very much. more celebrities and festivities over the next 48 hours as the jubilee goes on. no such jubilee when it comes to the economy and how people are feeling about what's going in this country right now and growing concern that the president might be missing what is really hitting it, including from his own party and including from the richest man on earth who are trading jabs back and forth with the president saying that he has a super bad feeling about the economy and if we want to extend it, apparently a super bad feeling about the guy leading this country. after this. acement pays to reple it with a new one of the same make and model. get a whole lot of something with farmers policy perks. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪

>> because of the enormous progress we've made on the economy, americans can tackle inflation from a poftion strength. >> when inflation's above 4 and unemployment's below 4, you are almost certain to have a recession within the next two years. >> it's a hurricane. it's -- right now it's sunny, doing fine, everyone thinks the fed can handle that. that hurricane is right out there down the road coming our way. neil: all right. well, jamie dimon says the hurricane thing, and we never know his political positions here, but he's been supportive of democratic presidents in the past, so it stood out as it did when larry summers was saying we

are heading for something pretty bad and then, of course, when you have the likes of elon musk saying something really, really bad, you've got to wonder whether the president really, really gets it. daniellety dimartino booth, jonas max ferris, jonas, what message even democrats -- now powerful democrats -- are sending the white house. it's almost like an sos call that they want to right this ship before it just goes off the chi. what are you getting from that? >> yeah. and the messaging that's gotten much darker very quickly. jamie dimon just a few weeks ago was calling e it mere storm clouds. it's already been upgraded to a hurricane, category three -- [laughter] and elon musk got very negative. the tech industry is in really rough shape right now, the start-up culture, so holds a lot of cards with those people, so he might not be the best gauge, but jamie dimon certainly is.

and the message is we don't want the fed to go that far raising rates like they had to do in the early '80s and cause a very serious possibly double-dip recession. it'd be nice if the white house could get onboard and take some the heat off the fed. maybe that is cutting sooner, maybe that is raising taxes and getting money out of the hands of people who are bidding you have stuff in a crazed consumer frenzy leading the fed to have to panic and making it not transitory the, this inflation. neil: well, we're beyond the transitory thing, i guess to your point, jonas. danielle, you've been saying that for more than a year, that it wouldn't be transitory, and now we're left with the federal verve, i guess, to try to fix this -- reserve. but when you have elon musking saying he has a super bad feeling about the economy, you've got to wonder. do you have a super bad feeling about the economy right now? >> you know, it's one thing to have this kind of notion that gas prices are high and food

prices are -- when you see it start to manifest in a company size of tesla saying we're going to be cutting 10% of our work force and, by the way, musk is echoing one tech company after another that has been saying the same thing, when you see the head of consumer products at amazon step down, there are certain -- at some point, neil, the data start to add up. and i think that's the juncture where we're at right now where unemployment is the most lagging of all economic indicators, and yet's what our leadership hanging on on to. that's like driving 100 miles an hour through the rearview mirror. it doesn't make any sense. neil: you know, it's interesting, and, jonas, you can help me out with this, those who cling to the notion that this won't be that bad when all is said and done, focus on the fact that the the rate of increase in inflation has slowed. wage growth, while it's still high, it's not increasing as much as it was.

i'm wondering whether that eastonic in your mind or this -- whether that's a tonic in your mind or whether it will likely continue to still be high. what do you say? >> first of all, i don't think having crisis -- prices go over 10% and level out there is such a wonderful economic situation, and i mean, this doesn't seem ideal, but you kind of want it to go from 9% inflation to 7 to 6, you want it to be a gradual shift. you don't want the fed to overreact and send it into deflation the mode and a serious recession. that is why investors are kind of, like, looking for bad news in the economy and not super excited by what seems like fairly high jobs numbers, because they don't want the fed to overreact. right before the covid crash the fed was trying to raise rates, they only got to a little over 2%, and then they had to reverse course, and that's probably what's going to happen -- they're only at 1% now, and look

at the turmoil in the market. and then the market will crash even further than the it already has, and then they're going to have to start the lowering rates again but they can't. and this is a big problem. with inflation still hot, they're not going to -- they're not going to bail out speculators whether it's the houses, stocks or whatever, and that's really the bear because in the last few crashes they were there with the 0% and the creating new money, and they're just not going to be comfortable doing that if this rate of inflation doesn't come down a little bit. neil: you know, danielle, you used to be with the federal reserve. how closely do members watch the markets? while they came back a little bit, they're really down significantly still on the year. they had a bad day yesterday wrapping up a losing week when we just had a winning week. how closely do they monitor that? because if the markets are supposed to reflect faith or the lack thereof the in the federal reserve, let's just say it might be the lack thereof. >> you know, i -- neil, i think

what we need to focus on is that the fed continues to mention in its rhetoric financial conditions. and the tighter financial conditions are, and that means the more buoyant the stock market, the higher junk bond prices, etc., the lower financial conditions are -- excuse me, i put that backwards -- the more the fed is going to be compelled to continue tightening into these markets and try and break the back of speculation, as jonas was saying. i think they're going to do to do the exact same thing for the housing market as well that's been swarmed by investors. i think they're going to try to break that as well because inflation in housing is running at a faster pace than it was during the housing bubble years. so the fed's got a huge job in front of it right now, and the stock market going up is actually a bad thing for stock market investors. the irony is there the because it's going to give the fed the ammunition that it thinks it needs to push the economy further. but as anybody would say, dimon,

musk, anybody, into recession. [inaudible conversations] >> it's the very hard speculating by just raising rates because you think your house is going up 20 the % a year, you'll just take 5% mortgage, but someone won't lease a car because the rate's too high. this is how you can wreck the economy before the market starts. neil: true, you guys, thank you very much. it didn't get much notice, but i thought it was significant, janet yellen saying i botched it, i didn't think this would be as big a problem. that is, inflation. and, you know, she got a lot of kudos, she got zinged by a few people, but is there any value in the president saying the same thing, i botch it? it's not transitory? i did understate this, i did miss in the. >> yeah. i think what we are seeing is the white house trying to reset its message when it comes to the economy. you saw this week the white house did this rollout of its new economic messaging that that

they were going to start confronting this problem more directly, president biden had an op-ed that was purported to do that and and lay out some sort of a plan. it wasn't much of a plan for addressing inflation. there's a recognition that the way they've been talking about in the problem so far is not effective. polls show that voters are increasingly worried no matter what the white house does. the problem here though is that the white house in, you know, is starting to talk about it more frequently is still treating this problem like a messaging issue and not a policy issue because they're still pushing things like canceling student debt, for example, that could arguably worsen inflationary pressures. neil: yeah. to that point, "the washington post" had an editorial saying you're not to blame for all of this, mr. president, but you do with your spending in retrospect have a habit of overdoing things. leon pa innocent that, of course, bill clinton's former chief of staff -- panetta -- defense secretary, all the rest, he weighed in and said the messaging is very much the problem. i want you to react to this.

>> not just treasury secretary, it was the whole group of economists, it was the white house, it was others that came to the same conclusion that this would be transitory. so they all made a mistake, and i think the president probably would be, it would be helpful if he acknowledged that he made a mistake. neil: let's a take the it as a given the president's not going to do that, sarah. then we have to move on in how he deals with the rebellion in the ranks, his own democratic ranks, talks of a shake-up in the staff. what are you hearing? >> well, certainly i think there is talk of maybe replacing people all the way with up to chief of staff ron klain. we saw a spate of stories about complaints of some of the president's top aide as. there were a number of economists on the democratic side that did predict if this. not all economists came to the same conclusion this was going

to be the transitory, so that on its face is also false. and then just one more thing on the way the white house -- [inaudible] they are talking about all the bright spots in the economy, right? the jobs numbers, but that risks the perception that they're totally out of touch on this. if they're talking about how great the economy is, and that's not matching up with people's lived experiences. neil: every time they go to that gas pump. sarah westwood, thank you very much. we do have some good news on this whole baby formula thing, kinda. on her green investments with merrill. a-plus. still got it.

that specialty brand was not part of the voluntary a recall in mid february. the company hasn't told us when it'll start making the two brands that were recalled, but once it does k abbott says it could take up to two months before the product hits store shelves. while plant is closed, abbott has been shipping in formula from its factory in ireland, and as part of what president biden is calling operation fly formula, the administration has arranged for millions of cans to be flown many in with the help of companies in australia and the united kingdom. >> we'll be supplying 2 million cans, that's 54 million bottle field feeds, between june -- well, actually, between next week and november to american parents. a crisis like this in the biggest consumer economy in the world should never happen. >> reporter: still, in the past few weeks the shortage in the u.s. has gotten worse. across the country the out of stock rate is almost 74%. the states in red on this map

are getting hit even harder. in nine of them, including california, nevada, tennessee and florida, baby formula is more than 90% out of stock. georgia has it the worst with nearly 95% of formula wiped off of store shelves. the department of health and human services has launched an investigation into the fda. the office is looking into whether the agency followed protocols when inspecting this facility before its shutdown as well as during the recall process. neil: in the meantime, taking a look at covid, it's a problem again. is anthony fauci right when he told us it could be an even bigger one? after this.

♪ neil: dr. anthony fauci saying this week he still wears a mask

on airplanes. he's not saying others should, but i thought i'd ask dr. bob lahita that. always great having you with, my friend. he's playing it conservatively, dr. fauci, saying he's over 80 years old, thinks it's a good idea for him. what do you tell patients? >> well, the numbers are up, neil. everybody, it seems, all of my friends seem to be infected, and this omicron is extremely transmissable. and, you know with, a federal appeals court just knocked down the cdc mandate or for masks on public transportation. i think it's up to the individual. if you've got co-morbidities, you're on chemotherapy or have an autoimmune disease, i think it's prudent to wear a mask on airplanes and, certainly, the worst part is in the air terminal where people are cheek to jowl if anybody has flown, particularly over this weekend. neil: right. you know, i'm wondering too, we get this sort of whack-a-mole

view of the virus, doctor, where with it seems under control and then suddenly it's not. shanghai returned to business as normal, then there's a bit of a lockdown affecting 2 million less -- residents right afterwards. so where are we on this? >> well, this is a highly infective subvarian i can't, and you know there are -- subvariants, and you know there are subvariants of the variety i can't -- variant at the time. we're all hoping that delta, that that doesn't arise. right now people are being infected and staying home and quarantining, god willing. for the 5-day period until their symptoms go away. but, you know, there's always the risk of a new variant appearing. this virus is not going away, it's going to be with us forever, and the companies are providing new drugs and new vaccines for the subvariants as we go forward. neil: where are we on this though, doctor?

recommendations, as with the flu a shot every year, but with you're talking about multiple booster shots? recommend now is four. i can't keep up with it. what do you tell patients? i guess it really depends on the morbidity issues and the vulnerability of those patients, but what do do you tell them? >> patients i see by definition have lots of comorbidities, so i'm encouraging everyone to certainly get one pearce. as far as the second, i think if you're over 75 and you have co-morbidities, you should probably get the second booster. after you get infected, getting a booster is kind of a moot point because you have immunity from the infection plus from the vaccine. so you should be in good stead. but, neil, this virus is going to be with us forever, and i predict that it's going to be the endemic like the flu, and we're going to get a shot every year with both the flu and covid. neil: incredible. you called it very early on.

we better get used to it. dr. bob lahita, thank you very much. >> thank you. neil: we have a lot more coming up including the latest on a bipartisan push to solve the school violence and shooting violence that we've been seeing in this country that might not necessarily have everything to do about guns. after this. ... only from discover. an unthinkable genocide took the lives of six million jews and thousands of jewish survivors are still suffering in poverty today.

>> well, it keeps happening, doesn't it? we're just getting new video showing a police response to a shooting overnight at a party in phoenix at a strip mall that left at least nine injured and three are in life threatening condition right now. about 100 people reportedly gathered for some kind of a party when police say a fight broke out and led to a shooting and occurs in an environment where we're seeing more of these type shootings, and it's a pattern that now has the administration and the republicans trying to find some common ground how to deal with

this. easier said than done. alexandria hoff now from washington with more. >> well, neil, the past two decades we've seen democrats made calls to action and makes the bipartisan talks going on right now so significant. in the prime time address, president biden spoke to it. >> the bipartisan efforts that include a small group of democratic and republican senators trying to find a way. but my god, the fact that the majority of the senate republicans don't want any of these proposals even to be debated. >> now, texas senator john cornyn was tapped to lead negotiations on the republican side, a small bipartisan meeting virtually last week. on thursday, the house judiciary committee passed the protecting our kids act, raising the age to purchase semi automatic rifles and prohibit what democrats call weapons of war. and there were vows for

measures to override the senate and congressman jordan responded afterward. >> if the filibuster obstructs us, we will abolish it. if the supreme court objects we'll expand it and we will not rest until we have taken weapons of war out of circulation in our communities. >> now we know, democrats blame guns, they criticize the n.r.a., they call republicans names, and let's be honest, they've told us what they want to do. their real beef is with the second amendment. >> while the protecting our kids act is expected to pass the house this week, it will certainly get blocked in the senate which is why the bipartisan is less sweeping, focused on school safety, mental health and encouraging red flag laws, and for the laws to be temporarily confiscated from those who are deemed to be an immediate safety risk. neil: when you're hearing the progress they're making or

trying to make, where is the common ground. they obviously seem open to maybe tighter background checks, but not everybody. i'm wondering where they'll ultimately find it. >> it's really not going to be much of what the president outlined in his speech on thursday, it's going to have to be far more narrow to find common ground. so again, i think it's the red flag laws, 19 states that have somewhat similar. it's going to have to be narrow and include a conversation about mental health because that's what republicans are looking for. neil: i don't want to get fooled into thinking that we are going to have a deal here, but the fact that the two sides are talking and that, you know, senator mcconnell has made john cornyn his point man to try to work with democrats on this. it is a midterm election year and i i'm wondering if that helps or hurts. >> that's an interesting question and it depends upon where these different representative senators are coming from, you know, you have states that republican states

red flaggish on the books and i think it comes down to whether this hits the emotional heartstrings. neil: thank you so much. alexandria hoff on that. we talk about the political pressure on both sides, but this really he will straits it quite clearly. u.s. representative chris jacobs, a republican from the state of new york, says he will not seek another term in congress, saying backlash over his support for some gun control measures essentially torpedoed and too divisive for an expected primary. let's get the read on this from karl rove what he makes of that. what do you think? >> well, you know, we've got a very emotional issue here, strong feelings on both sides. might be good to step back and take a look at the last time eactually had something done on this, which was in 2018. you may remember in november of

2017, there was a mass shooting in southernland springs, texas, a former airman who shouldn't, because of his military record, allowed to purchase a gun killed nearly two dozen that centered around the first baptist church around that town. two senators decided they'd do something about it. democrat senator of murphy of connecticut and republican john cornyn of texas, and those are the same two men attempt to go find something to do this time around that would be constructive and what they did the last time was, the issue was, that federal and state agencies turned out not to be supplying to the national instant criminal background check system, the nic sim, that allows people to buy guns. the first thing they did, made sure that state and federal agencies who were not downloading this data were forced to, upon some penalties, to provide that data. they upgraded the reporting

systems to make them faster and more accurate and expanded sharing of data about people who should be able to buy guns among different agencies and then they also took the opportunity to say a lot of these issues and people who shouldn't be able to purchase the guns are not criminal matters, they're protective in a divorce or a family law issue and they had a domestic abuse and violence prevention initiative that tied into this. what happened. took from november when the massacre occurred to march of 2018 to write the bill, get the support and mass it with big unanimous-- with big bipartisan votes in the house and senate, and in the next year alone, six million names of people who shouldn't be allowed to purchase a gun because of criminal activity or something in their background under state and federal law were added to the nic system and it's a sign of what we can do if you focus on the problem at hand and try and find commonsense solutions to that rather than what the

house is doing which is taking every gun control desire of the left and tossing it into a gigantic bill and saying vote for it or else. neil: and there's the issue of privacy advocates who don't like background checks, those that might be considered to sweeping. in the case of the texas shooter, even though he didn't have a criminal record he might have had a number of youthful indiscretions, a polite way of putting it, and in this country we don't put it in a permanent record. the notion that kids do stupid things and why should it stick for life. and what do you make of that, and something that say republicans would be open to to not only expand this list and get a good idea of those who might be risky, but going back to childhood issues? >> well, we had two states, florida and indiana, which are red states, that passed red flag laws because they wanted

to get themselves into a position where if somebody was saying something that was problematic, that there were tools available to law enforcement and to the justice system to keep them from getting weapons. but that could-- and that may be the way to go. i would say this, however, it all starts with people speaking if they-- if you see something, say something. and you have to have people speak out. apparently, the young man in question in uvalde was text messaging or communicating by social media with a number of young girls and making violent threats. somebody should have spoken up. somebody should have said to their parent, dad, this guy-- i don't know him, but he's saying ugly things, and because we've got to detect these people before they reach the breaking point, and he gave out signs, but apparently the system didn't-- we don't have a red flag law in texas, but absent that, law enforcement could have gotten involved if somebody had said

he's making violent threats, somebody ought to look into this. neil: and then the next leap and get in someone's record at a time when they're trying to get weapons in the first place. but, stepping back from this, carl. i wonder how long this momentum or this appearance of momentum, you mentioned senator cornyn who is leading this charge for republicans at the behest of mitch mcconnell. i'm just wondering, the 2018 experience notwithstanding whether we'll get anything here. >> we don't know, but i'll say this, murphy and cornyn have made this work before in a way that the country applauded and let's give them a chance to do it again. remember though, it took back then in 2017, took from november to march to get it done. so it took five months and we're now finding ourselves in june. that would mean we passed something by around election day or shortly thereafter. this ought to be outside of politics, the president did not do a good service to the

country by wrapping the republicans and going overboard in some of the-- his speech the other night. certainly here in texas, robert francis o'rourke didn't do the cause good going to a news conference to brief the media on what was going on in uvalde, and shows up at an official conference and wagging his finger at the governor of texas, this is on you. what a way to bring the country together, i'm your political opponent and you've got blood on your hands and used it for fund raising. he sent out 13 fund raising e-mails based on the news conference this previous week. neil: i always forget it's beto o'rourke and for you it's robert francis. >> it's not how he appears on the ballot, robert francis o'rourke on the ballot, his ballot name. neil: i noticed that. karl rove have a good weekend, my friend.

in the meantime, another issue in the country south of the border, seems we go from crisis to crisis, and as griff jenkins can tell you, it's still a crisis there, griff. griff: it is indeed, neil. you saw some emergency vehicles drive behind me, sources say tragically it's a recovery of a body that's washed up on the rio grande. in the last 24 hours, more than 1300 apprehensions, but we went across the border in mexico. wait until you see what we saw over there. that's coming up in a live report from la hoya, texas. in real time and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. ♪ life can be a lot to handle. ♪ this magic moment ♪ but heinz knows there's plenty of magic in all that chaos. ♪ so different and so new ♪ ♪ was like any other... ♪

fox news alerting it because every single day it's an unprecedented number of migrants coming across. they want to see more than 1300 migrants in just the last 24 hours here in just the rio grande valley sector. but take a look at this exclusive video we shot. directly across the border. this is inside the largest shelter there, the path of life shelter. you can see migrants from haiti, cuba, honduras, el salvador, nicaragua. and even three ukrainians and some russians, getting along and trying to flee the conditions in their country. now, the person that's running that shelter, pastor hector silva, says he's got more than 1500 migrants and only built to hold 1200 and he wants the administration to send a message to these countries to tell migrants not to come.

and one of those migrants who made that journey was turned back and deported immediately, he was named garrison from honduras. here is what he had to say. take a listen. >> they come to me with motorcycles. >> so you were trying not to get caught? >> yeah, i'm going to go try again. >> you'll probably try again? >> yes, yes, i have to do. griff: now, take a look at this tweet that the border patrol chief ortiz sent on 0 three-day recap, 81 pounds of cocaine, nine stash housings, sex offenses and murders, and assaults. you can see what's happening on the border, we're deal with a tragedy at the border, the fire rescue folks going in here. we can't go down there, but sources tell us that they're dealing with a body that's washed ashore on the rio

grande, a treacherous journey that migrants make, neil. neil: you know, this is the time, as you said, griff, that this sort of activity heats up ap and now title 42 in legal limbo, i guess, all the more, right? >> that's right. we did talk to a haitian man named junior in the reynosa area. he's upset, there are thousands of haitians waiting over there for title 42 to lift. he thinks that will give him a better chance to stay in the u.s. and not get deported back to haiti their biggest fear, but upset seeing afghans and ukrainians that he perceives as title 42 being applied unfairly because he says that the biden administration is allowing them to stay, but yet, haitians can't. neil. neil: griff, thank you very much. you know, griff, i was thinking no matter where we put you in this crazy world, excellent reporting. but, man, oh, man, i don't envy your assignment. thank you very very much.

>> thank you, neil. neil: griff jenkins on all of that. some happiest news across the pond, britain is celebrating her majesty's 70th year in power. unfortunately, the queen, another event she had to skip out on, but we're told that she's watching, very hopeful and grateful after this. you're a one-man stitchwork master. but your staffing plan needs to go up a size. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description. visit indeed.com/hire

>> all right, let the jubilee continue. another event that the queen had to opt out of today just as yesterday was the case, but she, we're told, is watching it all very grateful for it all as her country pays tribute to the longest reigning monarch, forget about england, anywhere on the planet. and the whole king tut

phenomenon, in ancient egypt. the queen has 70 years. who am i to doubt. and charlie gives me a quick education that i need to sound at least somewhat knowledgeable. charlie, always great to have you. the first thing i want to go to with you is what we know of the queen and this latest event that she cannot be a part of. is she doing okay? >> she is doing okay. the event today that she's missing is the epsom darby, which is a horse race and incredibly disappointing for her. she's a passionate eequestrian, she is loves horse riding and this would have been an event that she would have attended. she's taken every precaution to make sure she doesn't overdo

it. kate middleton said the queen is doing fine, but she found thursday's activities very, very tiring. and zara said she was watching in comfy clothes. let' be honest, i think we would appreciate the opportunity to do every now and then. neil: absolutely. you know, and i know you semi scolded me for being fixated about 24 harry and meghan thing and come from an italian family, ignoring and not knowing why, but a debate whether harry and meghan were booed at when they left the service yesterday. but hearing reports there's no ill will expressed by the queen herself. will you update us? >> the queen is incredibly eager to make sure that her

family is as together as they can possibly be. she's not only the monarch, she's also the matriarch of the royal family at the head of the royal family not only as the kind of business that we see them as, but also as relatives. and she's incredibly eager to try and heal the rift between harry and his father, between harry and his brother, just like any grandmother or mother would be. however, we have to keep in mind that not only has there been so much scandal created by meghan and harry through their oprah interview, there's also more scandal to come. we've got that cloud of harry's upcoming memoir hanging over us all. we've got their netflix reality show hanging over there like another controversial cloud. it's difficult for william and charles to put aside all differences behind the scenes when they have no idea what other bombshells harry might drop in their lap, potentially as charles ascending the throne

and that could create a scandal that they don't need. neil: so this book that harry is working on, i assume it's going to be a tell-all, right? >> absolutely. from what we understand, i really is planning to share what he believes to be his truth. he will not hold back when it comes to expressing the negative feelings that he has about his time as a working royal. we also understand that he plans to air some of his grievances about prince charles' wife camilla, which again is going to dredge up a lot of past controversy that the royal family just doesn't need. this will once again refuel anger towards camilla which quite frankly she's only just managed to overcome in the past couple of years. there are obviously still some people who believe that camilla played a massive hand in princess diana and prince charles's divorce.

they have a lot of ill will toward her and they don't need to add more fuel to that fire which is what harry's memoir will likely do. neil: you know, i'm curious, charlie. molly:. neil: who decides seating at the jubilee when it started. i understand there's a protocol to it, working royal members and all or is that an excuse to find a way to separate william from his brother and the family? >> well, when it comes to the buckingham palace balcony, in the past it has not been the case that only senior working royals were allowed to join the queen on the balcony. that is a rule that was implemented this year and, yes, i do believe it was a kind of catch-all way of eliminating the scandalous characters from being so public facing, not only did it mean that harry and meghan would not be on the balcony, it meant that prince

andrew would not be on the balcony. you immediately take out the more controversial faces from the lineup. when it came to st. paul's cathedral and the seating arrangement there, it was carefully calculated. it was absolutely made sure that william, skate, kate, charles and camilla on one side, and harry and meghan, not only to make sure there were no awkward moments caught on camera, it's also a clear indication of the new royal pecking order. harry and meghan were once up there on that top level of senior royals and they have now dropped way down. the fact that they were in the second row sends a very clear message that they are no longer considered to be the more important or significant members of the royal family, as far as the queen's most trusted aides and advisors are concerned, as far as charles and william are concerned.

harry and meghan are no longer at the forefront of where the monarchy is and they have to step back and being on the b-team as it were. neil: harry and meghan's daughter lilibet i think is a year old this weekend. have they done any palace events or got to see the queen as a result? >> now we know that they did finally meet the queen, or lilibet, i should say finally met the queen who she was named after. they met on thursday at windsor castle after the festivities at buckleham palace and finally got to meet her great-granddaughter named after her. >> and as for her birthday is i gathering in private with a gathering of friends at frogmore cottage where they've

staying and it's not known whether the queen is attending. the likelihood is she will remain at windsor castle and relax and peace and quiet. i think a one-year-old's birthday is probably the last thing that a 96-year-old woman would like to do after the activity that she's had this week. i think the hope among the royal family as a whole is that the queen will have time to spend time with lilibet and archie before they return to california and we know that harry and meghan have had a private meeting with charles and camilla. what remains to be scene is whether or not harry, william, kate and meghan will have an opportunity to sit down behind the scenes to kind of catch up in private, and more importantly, almost, for lilibet to actually meet her cousins for the first time. let's keep in mind lilibet was born in california the first time she was brought back to the u.k., yet to meet, george,

chart and louie. neil: you're an encyclopedia, and return the favor, ever come to new york, i know italian restaurants, i'm all over that. >> let's do it. neil: thank you. >> thank you for having me. neil: man,'s she all over this stuff and knows the history and the party goes on there and the queen, again, overwhelmed by the events in her honor, but just think of this. she has met with 14 of the last 15 presidents, only one, lyndon johnson, over his five-plus years in office, it was always a scheduling difficulty, the only one dating back to harry truman. after this. for their family and home. there's a powerful va benefit that veterans have earned, but many don't even know about. it's the va home loan benefit. as a veteran, you're eligible to apply for a refinance loan for up to 100% of your home's value.

battle in south and the east. with the russian forces allowing on superior fire power to make steady gains, and ukrainians trying to retake parts of the country. and other parts of the country trying to regain normal life which is difficult to do in areas where the russians have laid down a trail of bloodshed and alleged war crimes. while much of ukraine rebounds, the people in bucha are changed in the atrociies that came to their streets. >> she's putting together a book for her husband, and he went for food and they were stopped at a check point. and when my husband raised his hands and turned to the child, he was shot at and my son. >> nothing is better evidence

than that disturbed soil, so many left dead in the open, a local priest organized a mass grave next to the church. in the end 112 people were buried here. >> she tries to focus on the son who survived the shooting and the other two. she spent her career raising the kids, now she needs to pay the bills. >> our family was provided for by my husband. we turned to a psychologist for help. i try not to be left alone. i went to work and i'm constantly trying to be engaged in something so there's no free time. >> a handful of war crimes trials have already been held in ukraine. the prosecutor general has been begged the international court and intends to bring thousands of cases, neil. neil: mike tobin, be safe. i want to go to general jack keane on this.

when i knew you were coming on, 100 days, this is no longer the 24/7 fixation for the world. imagine if you're ukraine, that would worry you. what do you think? >> it certainly is on zelenskyy's mind and also, i believe, putin's mind because i think putin believes that ukrainian, so-called fatigue, will set in and that the international community that has been so solid behind president zelenskyy and ukrainian people will begin to lose interest. and they will not enforce the sanctions to the degree that they have in the beginning, and that's normally the pattern of sanctions enforcement over time. and that the europeans and the united states may not provide all the weapons and ammunition that they have been providing and they're promising to provide. yes, the international media is not reporting on ukraine in the way that it was, likely because the interest in the countries they're reporting to is not the

same as it was at the beginning. so, i think that zelenskyy certainly has not let up, neil, on trying to get additional help from the international community. he was just talking to luxembourg's parliament a couple of days ago and i think he's going to continue that messaging. and it's critically important here as we're seeing the russians having some success in the south, the first setback that the ukrainians have had in the second phase of this operation, though the ukrainians still have a significant capability to take back territory despite the russian success, but it will be dependent on international support if they're going to have that kind of success. neil: we're already seeing some -- i don't want to overstate it, general, in light of that support, whether we keep sending these weapons, more money, have we done enough, let's see how they do. there's griping among n.a.t.o., and how long to pursue this,

and turkey is an n.a.t.o. member and the opposition or president erdogan's opposition to sweden joining n.a.t.o. and more of this, frank, what do you make of it? >> well, i think what's going to happen, as we're going forward here, i do believe the united states is going to continue to support and be aggressive about it. i think it was shameful that it took us a couple of months to agree to provide them multiple rocket launchers and we need to provide more of them. but i think what's in front of us here is the russians have taken significant casualties in their singular focus on taking one city in the donbas region, donetsk and while it's a setback for the ukrainians, the russians had suffered quite a bit. so much so we don't think they have the capability right now after they took the city in a week or two, to do what they should do and that is conduct

attacks into the western part of the donbas region they've held off because of the singular focus in the east and be successful in the west. they'll likely have to have an operational pause because they have to refit so many units that are hurt. and the ukrainians are going to try to conduct limited counter attacks like in the province and begin to take back territory. and we've got weeks and months of fighting ahead of us, and in the introduction, as mike tobin said, this is is an artillery war for sure on both sides and that's heavy casualty producing. and it's devastating impact on the ukrainians as well. you can see what they're doing to the cities and towns as they begin to make their advance, just completely destroying them. so, we've got months of war ahead of us, without a decisive outcome that we can predict,

certainly, at this point. >> general jack keane, thank you very much, my friend, very good to see you. be safe this weekend. >> great talking to you, neil. neil: all right, general jack keane. meanwhile, saudi arabia, did it blink or did we blink? they're going to produce more oil, which is what the president wanted and told that the president might visit saudi arabia because that's what the crowned prince wanted after this. and wherever this guy runs off to. a life well lived should continue at home. with home instead care, older adults can stay home, safe, and happy. home instead. to us, it's personal. ♪ it wasn't me by shaggy ♪ you're never responsible for unauthorized purchases on your discover card.

>> all right, we've got a little bit of an energy reprieve, saudi arabia this week committing itself and opec members, 640,000 extra barrels a day beginning next month and the month after that. it's done little to put a dent in energy prices the way they stand right now. phil flynn follows it closely, fox business, fox news, and kind enough to join us now, not even that is helping here. what do you make of it? >> it's like a drop in the

bucket, but what it was, neil, was diplomatic gesture by saudi arabia in deference to the biden administration that's backed off their bull in a china cabinet approach to relationships with saudi arabia. you know, president biden came into office, you know, vowing to make saudi arabia a pariah state. and that seemed to backfire, even though everyone is disgusted with the murder of khashoggi who was murdered, oil prices is number one. neil: i sometimes wonder whether it's the other way around. maybe the saudis blinked and with history, said last time opec and the energy prices got too greedy for it, or our own good and a there was a

worldwide recession that sent prices tumbly and opec unravelling. >> make no doubt about it, the prices could cause demand destruction. and saudi arabia learned sometimes if you drive up prices too high, you'll kill the golden goose. nobody can afford the oil and pushed the world in recession. i think it's more dynamic with that, with the war in ukraine, russia's relationship with opec and the biden administration, you know, sending overtures to saudi arabia and they're raising oil production. they know that this increase in oil production isn't going to solve the problem. you know, the problem is a lack of global spare production capacity to refined products. even saudi arabia said we can raise all production we want, if you can't refine it, it doesn't do any good. the world is going to have to rethink the energy transition,

the shutting down of refineries and discouraging investments, if they don't we'll see prices to come. neil: you take your oil from where you can get it, but when we put out statements thanking the saudis for doing it, when we have so much of this oil ourselves, it's just weird. >> it is. you know, i really don't understand it, right? you know, i think if you look at global oil production, saudi arabia does it very well, but we do it much better and much cleaner. neil: right. >> and i don't understand why, you know, somehow u.s. energy is bad and we want to send the message to the world how clean we are, but then we look to saudi arabia and places like venezuela to produce more oil. it doesn't make any sense. i think there's a bubble in washington, right. i think that washington lives in a bubble of not the real world, and i think now we're finding out what the real world

is with the lack of u.s. oil production and a lack of investment in u.s. energy. neil: wild stuff. my friend. phil flynn following that. >> thank you. neil: on the oil and energy front, he eerily predicted a lot of the stuff we're seeing happening at the pump. you can blame phil. >> it's my fault, full responsibility. neil: so you should, young man. all right, thank you very, very much. and you can have food delivered to your home and many of you did, and man, i didn't have as many fries as i thought i did. apparently a good number of people delivering food to your home are eating it.

(man) [whispering] what's going on? (burke) it's a farmers policy perk. get farmers and you could save money by doing nothing. just be claim-free on your home insurance for three years. (man) that's really something. (burke) get a whole lot of something with farmers policy perks. (dad) bravo! (mom) that's our son! (burke) we should. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪ this isn't just freight. these aren't just shipments. they're promises. big promises. small promises. cuddly shaped promises. each with a time and a place they've been promised to be. and the people of old dominion never turn away a promise. or over promise. or make an empty promise. we keep them.

a promise is everything to old dominion, because it means everything to you. the census tells you a lot about people. you could tell on the census records that at very, very young ages, they were cooks, they were farm hands, they were servants. there's auralia, 4-years old. i have learned a lot about the rest of the family, it was really finding gold. one of my grandfathers, didn't even know his birthdate. i figured out the exact year he was born. the census records fill in gaps, it helped me push the door open.

>> you know, even post-covid or the worst of covid, a lot of people are still having food delivered to their homes through the various delivery services that are out there and thriving apparently, are not at all affected by the fact that we've gone back to work. apparently we're not going back to the kitchen, but there's one distressing detail that we have to share with you and it's a new survey out that shows eight in 10 delivery workers actually admit to eating a customer's food. that's your food. maybe by the time to gets to your front door. and what to make of that. and jonas max ferris, and jenna, and mike gunzleman, from the radio, he probably does

deliver your food and eat it. gunz, i cannot fathom this. >> i always thought that restaurants were cutting back lately because of the inflation and now i find out that it's been by delivery person eating all of my french fries. here is the thing, i was a delivery person throughout high school and early years of college, but it would not even cross my mind to eat somebody's food. i would be worried that i would get caught, but i'm not too shocked though, neil. human beings are disgusting. you can't trust humans, they're gross, they're disgusting and you might want to have a second look before you delve into that food when it gets delivered. wild, eight out of 10 is wild. neil: and when he's done this to me, delivering food to me, neil, you're too fat so i'll do you a favor, but even you have to admit this is out of control when eight out of 10 are apparently doing this?

>> yeah, and 73% of the drivers say they do it because of bad tippers. so you never tipped me, that's why. and we talk about it. neil: sure, blame me, blame me. [laughter]. >> we can get the truth out there. remind me when my grandmother would send me five blocks down the street to burger king and i could eat the fries, i'm a grown boy, what does she expect me to do. i see it all the time with my food. neil: even jonas does, and he orders out fois gras. >> and with the oysters and they went through them. and apparently this has been a problem in the industry. this is why they had the ham burglar, be honest. in 2019 it was one in four did this, a u.s. food report did

this and now it's up to 80%. what's different, all of those people sitting home ordering avocado toast during the pandemic and other people have to wear masks and by the way the apps charge 20 to 40% more than going to get the food yourself at burger king down the street. neil: that's true. >> and it does not go to the workers, you have to tip them and then you think you tip them and a delivery free. they're going to take it out of the french fries, and everybody should be mad at the tech overlords who run these apps. neil: i didn't think of that. and thank you for harkening back to my archer treecher day. i was a manager. i ate so much product on the job they eventually did go bankrupt. entirely. >> you worked at crazy eddie's, look what happened there. neil: exactly. gunz, i wonder where the problem starts though, is it in the kitchen where they're tooking the food or the driver delivering your food? >> i think the driver is

smelling this most likely delicious food next to them and they're bored. it comes out of boredom, the person won't notice. and it starts with one french fry and next thing, you're taking a chicken finger and adding and the worst though at work, at my workplace i've had people-- i've gone to the refrigerator and my food has been eaten from somebody else just like that. neil: sorry, i didn't know, i didn't know it was yours. i didn't know it was yours. >> come on, neil. [laughter]. neil: i know, my bad. guys, thank you very much. wish we had more time to this because i could reveal your secrets here. thank you guys very very much. take a quick peek on what's going on in jolly old england. i don't know when the queen can't make the events, if she orders food, deliver door dash, would they dare eat the queen's french fries? these are the probing questions you'll no doubt get answers to, in the next couple of hours.
