border, biden won that, butflores ran it. >> of course they call her sexist and racist, this democrat being party think they hold the vote. >> griff: former president trump getting victory in south carolina, the first house republican who voted to impeach him. challenger russell fry ousting tom rice. the other high-profile target of the former president nancy mace held on defeating katie arrington. trump predicted her victory in november. in nevada, trump-backed candidate and former attorney

general defeated sam brown. he had this to say after. >> the failed policies are not just a product of joe biden, though he's served as a useful puppet, they look at the feet of cortes-masto. >> griff: this match up in november, republicans believe this race could be one of the best chances to win back the senate majority. >> todd: focus on the border race, you spent a lot of time at the border, practically lived there for a time. what is the democratic party not knowing what latinos at the

border want. >> griff: great question. they are not listening to their citizens and community. myra flores is married to a border patrol agent. there are drugs and criminals, gang members coming across. in the 10 days i was there last week, todd, 15,114 apprehensions, equivalent of a caravan we've been watching coming in just essentially one week that i was there. the hispanic voters there, who have been controlled by the democratic party have had enough. they are saying stop it. many of the citizens voting there are part of the border patrol and customs and protection, their moral is at an all-time low. they do not feel the support of this administration of secretary

biden and secretary alejandro mayorkas. we saw in the race for the mayor of mcallen, republican javier villanueshgvo won, the first republican to win in decades won because the community had had enough. do not forget we are still in covid and migrants coming across bring significant threat. the community has had it with the crisis and myraflo flores was born in mexico, brought legally when she was six years old. her district is in brownsville. you see her, a success story in its own right and also leading on the issue which may define many of the races in november,

when it comes to the issue of immigration. >> carley: the first mexican-born member of congress. broke a glass ceiling, see if she makes any magazine covers, she deserves it. thank you for joining us. now to this, house finally passing bill offering around the clock protection to families of supreme court justices. it comes a week after leaked opinion on roe v. wade sparked protest outside justices homes. 27 voted no on the security bill, including alexandria ocasio-cortez, their rejection comes less than a week after a foiled plot to assassinate justice brett kavanaugh. the bill heads to president biden's desk. josh hawley thinks more needs to be done, writing a letter to merrick garland.

you must stand up and force the law, prosecute those who break it and condemn violent rhetoric co coming from the left. >> todd: josh hawley said they are blatantly ignoring the threat. >> leftists that burned down over a dozen pregnancy care centers across the country, 13 i think at last counts, attempted aassassination of a sitting justice. merrick garland won't say you can't parade in front of a judge's home. this administration turns a blind eye again and again and again to violence. >> todd: threats against judges have been rising. efrler this month a wisconsin judge was killed in his home by a man he sentenced. president biden says america's economy is in a good place.

stocks tumble and inflation goes through the roof. >> for a country, we have dilutional leader that thinks he's doing a great job for america. >> carley: some people like our next guest recognize the struggle to make ends meet and he's serving his pizza at prices families can afford. migraine hits hard, so u hit back with ubrelvy u level up u won't take a time-out one dose of ubrelvy works fast it can quickly stop migraine in its tracks within 2 hours without worrying if it's too late or where you are unlike older medicines, ubrelvy is a pill that directly blocks a protein believed to be a cause of migraine. do not take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. most common side effects were nausea and tiredness. migraine pain relief starts with u learn how abbvie could help you save. ask about ubrelvy, the anytime, anywhere migraine medicine.

optimistic about america than i am today. >> marianne: many countries like japan, saudi arabia and chinaa hovering over 2%, germany close to the u.s. at 7.9% and france closer to 5%. the president continuing to make claims about the economy that don't add up. people have less debt and more saving. massive government spending has helped americans. >> president biden: when they come to you and talk about big spenders, let them know almost two trillion dollars in deficit reduction, i don't want to hear anymore lies about reckless spending. we're changing people's lives. >> marianne: the white house in clean-up mode with republicans hoping the gaffes continue with

the president saying he will run again in 2024. >> if he doesn't run for re-election, it is because of his unpopularity. he is constantly screwing with the american people, telling them how to live their lives. >> marianne: democrats may be getting nervous, three white house officials head to the hill on thursday to discuss messaging on fighting inflation and reducing cost for the american people. >> carley: marianne, thank you. serving up something special to fight inflation. this restaurant is offering free meals to veterans, kids. the chef joins us now. thank you for coming on. this is great.

families are so stressed, they need a break. you are providing that for them. tell us why i are doing what you're doing. >> food is the great unifier, i've always said that, $15 pie is more than just sauce and sew and hopefully not pineapple. it is an anniversary, maybe a first date, it is bigger than that. throughout the pandemic, people are losing their livelihood and dignity and those setting the rules are breaking their own rules while everybody gets swept under the rug. how can we give back and do something big here? i'm not corrupt enough to run as a politician, giving away free food is the answer. we did this during the pandemic and called it pandemic pizza. now it is fighting inflation and

trying to keep the local community together and give people something extra and we can eat that cost in various ways. >> carley: you're making a bigger difference there and i know your restaurant veterans always eat free. what are customers saying about this? i'm sure you have awesome stories. >> the customers are really appreciative and kind of embassied embarrassed. a lot of them reach out. people just pay the cost. sometimes we cover the full cost, i mean raw cost, we don't upcharge it. a lot of people from twitter, facebook are writing and saying, i will send you $5, i will call in an order and buy somebody else's pizza. this is the power of everybody across the united states. we are just a pizza shop and

people are saying buy somebody's pizza on me, i don't need any credit. this is a lot of different people reaching out and helping neighbors. >> carley: people are contacting you privately and others are giving back by paying forward, incredible. chef, what has it been like going from the pandemic where you have restrictions and rules and everything that went along with it and going directly into the after effects, record high inflation, labor shortages, everything that is happening right now. we've all been living through this together, it really is unbelievable sequence of events small business owners have had to face. >> certainly. during the pandemic, something happened where restaurants were vilified because some restaurantss were staying open or we were thought of as super

spreaders when we moved forward into the next phase of the pandemic and had people who had negative connotation when it came to certain small businesses. look across social media and what people are saying about restaurant owners specifically. when it comes to misinformation about restaurants staying open or being super spreaders now we run into a financial situation where economics of running a business are stacked up against you and corporations with cash on the sidelines are able to work your way through this and play the game and many small businesses are being forgotten about and with inflation being thrown in as nothing to worry about as people are losing their jobs and businesses over and over and over again. it is a tough uphill battle. cake you're making sure to help other people, which is awesome. chef gruel, thank you for joining us.

cool stuff. tobing >> todd: the pizza looked awful. cake >> carley: no pineapple allowed. historic flooding rocks one of america's national parks. we'll show you images coming up. >> todd: is this proof hunter biden is pulling the strings in the white house? here is hunter in his own words. >> he will talk about anything, if i continuing is important to me, he wants to make it a part of his platform. >> todd: yeah, that sent a shutter down my mind. what about joe concha? he joins us next.

>> carley: a fox news weather alert. weather is devastating yellowstone national park. the extensive damage could see

some sections off limits to tourists for months. >> todd: forcing 10,000 people to flee the park. thankfully no injuries have been reported. hope it stays that way with no injuries reported. we're going to the summer travel season, it stinks not to have yellowstone. >> janice: it is rain, heavy rainfall, many storms and rapid snowmelt on top of that. we're talking about three months worth of rain in a matter of days. you can see the river crested here at 13.88 inches on june 13th, a record. i believe they started records back in 1918, this is pretty incredible. water is starting to recede, better weather in the forecast. roads will be closed for months, busy tourist region.

the other big story is extreme heat for millions of folks across the ohio valley, the great lakes and down into the southeast. heat advisory and excessive heat watches, temperatures are going to be 90 to 100 with humanitarian on top of that for a number of days, that is dangerous and we'll see daytime records shattered across south carolina and georgia, kentucky, ohio, this is going to be a big concern, not only today, but for several days. take all precautions, there will be cooling centers open, watch you were pets, the elderly, bring them inside. >> todd: hunter biden caught on tape bragging about being the son of joe biden in newly leaked audio from his infamous laptop, listen. >> he will talk about anything i want to, he believes in. if i say it is important to me, he

wants to make it a part of his platform. my dad respects me more than anyone else in the world. i can do anything. >> carley: joe concha joins us now. some people are calling hunter biden joe biden's number one advisor. >> joe: wow. i can do anything i want is what hunter biden is saying and his actions prove it. right, guys? this audio is incredible. the laptop from hell strikes again. we're going to be the only network talking about this, right? imagine if donald trump jr. had a laptop and was saying the things hunter biden is saying. fortunately there is a federal investigation happening as we speak and when the republican party take back the house in november, you can be sure there will be hearings into hunter biden and the president's brother james biden and the

president himself, the alleged big guy who took 10% of profits from shade and he possibly illegal dealings overseas. it is incredible the reporting on this will be so minimal and almost a complete blackout, thou shalt not report on anything hunter biden says about his dad or dealings overseas including china and places like ukraine and in russia, as well, a huge story no one is talking about. >> todd: it continues to be hidden no matter how salacious the "new york post" turns out to be. one thing the media is covering now, starting to question if president biden should seek re-election, here they are coming to jesus. listen. >> think he should run for re-election, how come? >> democrats are convinced he

will not run. >> assuming joe biden decides not to run. >> does the president have the stamina to continue on? >> todd: joe, why now? why did the media suddenly realize, wait, joe biden is old. >> joe: because when you are polling in the 20s on inflation and poll nothing 20s on your handling of the border or lack thereof and crime is skyrocketing and the country is going in the wrong direction, 24% of democrats believe that the country is on the right path, one quarter, you know you have problems. david axelrod had the most damning quote. he said if joe biden runs and wins and i'm paraphrasing, he will be closer to 90 than he will be to 80 and obviously we

see joe biden approaching the age of 80's, being too slow, too old and the incompetency has always been there with joe biden. if you look back over his 50-year career in politics, look, when you look at the numbers lining up right now for the midterms, it looks horrible for the democratic party. bill clinton and barack obama were polling 5 to 7 points higher and clinton lost 54 seats and barack obama lost 63. if that is the case, how many will joe biden lose poll whering he is? 70. it will be an absolute tsunami when we talk about the midterm. bill clinton and barack obama were in their 40s when they were president. joe biden is approaching 80 and they -- those guys didn't have perception they are too old and didn't have mental sharpness for

the job. that is almost impossible perception to undue at this point. >> carley: democrats are running for office who don't want the president to campaign with them. democratic party is a big tent filled with people questioning their leader. thank you for joining us. see you tomorrow. >> todd: inhumane treatment over false claims they were whipping migrants about to be punished by the biden administration. >> carley: backed biden by 13 point in 2020 flipped red. former congressman sean duffy joins us live next to break it down for us coming up. if your moderate to severe crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms are stopping you in your tracks... choose stelara® from the start...

>> todd: history made in south texas. republican mayra flores first -- from blue to red. >> carley: russell pride easily ousting five-term congressman tom rice who was the first house republican to vote to impeach the former president. the other high-profile target of

the former president won her race defeating katie arrington. >> todd: and laxal beat -- >> carley: elon musk says i voted for mayra flores first time i ever voted republican, massive red wave in 2022. sean duffy former wisconsin congressman joins us now. mayra flores got 51% of the vote and one of the votes and the richest man in the world. >> sean: yeah, the story of elon musk in south texas, first time voting for a republican is the story of a lot of voters in south texas, a hugely hispanic district. we've seen in recent

polling 24% of hispanics support joe biden, that is a horrible number. what you are seeing is a lot of democrats, long-term democrats are becoming republicans and you just mentioned the primary race in nevada, a lot of hispanic voters. so cortez masto musting really concerned when you have hispanic, which are reiable voting switching over and going, this economy is horrible. social policies of democrats, trying to teach our children transgenderism, all the issues don't resonate with the hispanic community and it matters on who controls the house and senate after the midterm. >> todd: democratic sense of entitlement to the latino vote could be officially dead. department of homeland security is prepping punishment for

border patrol agents -- they are getting them on "administrative violations," but isn't this an attempt for biden administration to save face when they know the agents did nothing wrong, they have to hold them to something just to save face. >> sean: what did the agents do? they were controlling the border. that is their job. they did their job. they didn't whip anybody, they controlled their horses. they are supposed to be on horseback. positions of authority, whether border patrol or law enforcement, they are not targeting the wrong-doer or criminal, they are targeting the cops and border patrol and the consequence, you will have cops

and border patrol say, you can pay me to not do my job, let criminals run free and illegals come into the country and you will get chaos with the policies. that is what joe biden wants, chaos. he's not on the side of the american citizen. he's on the side of higrants and the purpose is to say minimize and demoralize what it means to be an american citizen. citizenship should mean something f. your citizenship means nothing, anyone can come into the country. that is where the biden administration is on the border. it xechlified how they treat border agents. >> carley: the house is offer prog tektion to the family of supreme court justices. 27 democrats voted no on the security bill including

alexandria ocasio-cortez. her fellow squad members also voted no. the same democrats spent a lot of money on private secretary. cori bush spending $300 grand. looks like they think security for them is a great thing, but not voting yes when it comes to security for all supreme court justices when there are many death threats that are being lobbed in their direction. >> sean: a lot of faces on the screen sent 40 billion to ukraine, as well. listen, these radical members of the house and aoc is one of them, this is the squad, they want maximum pressure on supreme court justices. they want to make sure there are threats and protests to make sure the supreme court justices change their opinion, this is about influencing the court to

change their opinion using fear tactics. if you give the supreme court justices and their families more protection, they will have less fear. aoc doesn't want that, she wants conservative justices to change their opinion on roe v. wade. you get them to change if you take away their security. this is a sad new frontier in american politics that will use fear and threats to change people's opinions. that is where this democrat, marx -- marxist side is at. >> carley: president biden starting the year bragging about his record economy. >> president biden: by the way, stock market the last guy's measure of everything, is about 20% higher than it was when my predecessor was there. it has hit record after record after record on my watch.

>> todd: 14 republican-led states demanding the president reverse cancellation of an oil and gas lease as americans struggle to put gas in their cars. >> carley: cheryl casone has the details, good morning. >> cheryl: good morning. americans suffer effects of record-high gas prices. 14 republican-led states are calling on the president to increase oil production. pending lease sales in gulf of mexico and alaska. they have inflicted an energy crisis on the american people and this decision is allowed to stand, it will deepen the crisis and bottleneck domestic supply of oil and gas. this group maintains the president is letting viermal

groups lodge a green coup, this is gas prices stand this morning $5.01 on average, it was $3.07 a year ago. >> todd: that is sickening. the president having trouble with truth when it comes to inflation. >> cheryl: he is facing criticism for claiming inflation is worse everywhere, but here. >> president biden: families are carrying less debt nationwide, have more savings nationwide. under my plan, we made extraordinary progress and put america in position to tackle a world-wide problem that is worse everywhere issue but here. >> cheryl: that is not the case, consumer price hit 8.6% in may. in other countries, canada, japan 2.5%, even france is at

5.2%. >> carley: wow, those are the numbers there. you have news on american dream home. >> cheryl: yeah. tonight we have brand-new episodes of american dream home, gone country. we are heading to kentucky. 9 p.m. eastern time, we will follow chris and carolyn searching for a country retreat in louisville. 9:30, we'll stay in kentucky, which is fun, and talk to breel and chad. breel is a champion and they were looking for a perfect horse -- both properties are in markets you can still get decent deals. we've talked about across the country with home prices going double digits, look for markets that offer bargains, that is what we'll do tonight. >> todd: stocks sliding deeper

into a bare market officially closing lower than when president biden took office. >> carley: brian brenberg is a professor of business and economics in manhattan. brian, good morning. we are down 20% in the stock market, official definition of a bare market. how long will it take to get back above 20? >> brian: tell me when the biden administration will get things right on policy. the problem is the stock market is looking at the problem with inflation and saying the fed is trying to do what it can now to fix it, raise interest rates significantly, but the biden administration is still talking spending. yesterday he was talking about higher taxes and more spending. people are concerned about recession and starting to get concerned about jobs if we get a

recession and biden administration is on the wrong page, on the wrong foot and as a result investors are getting bearish, what happens when winter comes? bears hibernate. >> todd: people are selling, that should signal scary times ahead. what is the white house solution? mulling federal gas tax holiday as price of gas breaks $5 per gallon. isn't this just a political gimmick ahead of the midterms? >> brian: yes, in a long line of administration it is one. every time we face a problem issue the administration trots out window dressing. cutting federal gas tax will send more people to the pump. if you don't increase supply,

you'll be back to the same starting point. every economist knows this isn't going to change the problem we face, but the biden administration in classic form is looking for a headline, that is what the gas tax holiday would give them. it doesn't do anything in substance for the economy, just like the other things they have tried, which is why we're in the position we're in. it is abdo cation of responsibility and coming at higher prices for consumers and families. >> carley: that's been the headline of the month. >> brian: except higher stocks. >> carley: so true. thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. >> brian: you bet, good to see you. >> carley: good to see you, too. miseducation of american students is not a new issue.

that's what we wrote the book about, todd. it was not yesterday. it was not 10 years ago. it was not the 1960s. it was over 100 years ago the idea of taking control of the minds of our kids was hatched amongst progressives in the early 20th century. they worked very hard. we have talked a lot about higher education over the years, colleges, the lunacy of the places where we went to school. and that was not a distraction. he would were right to focus on. that was but the left was always focused on our youngest of minds created k through 12 school systems that stripped god out. replaced it with allegiance to the state. and as a result the consolidation, you know, they didn't know exactly where it would lead, but they knew it wouldn't lead toward blick wisdom an appreciation of our founding. eventually led us to a place marxist took control. critical race theory became predone nant and critical race theory and critical gender theory now to the point where we are having 6-year-olds determine their pronouns and young kids,

impressionable kids determine whether they are oppressor or oppressed. so i salute that mom. she is entirely right. and mollie hemingway once wrote it happens gradually until it happens quickly. and after covid-19 with our zoom classrooms in our homes we have been exposed to what they are teaching and we are seeing it in full force. >> carley: that's right, parents can donate all the money they want to conservative causes but it won't matter if they don't win battle over american minds so great why you are speaking up about this issue. there is also a new report that reveals a number of kids 13 to 17 years old who identify as transgender has nearly doubled from 2017 to now. and this really does beg the question what's going on here? is this the result of what they are learning in schools? >> it's not the result of the fact that in the last five years, you know, 2,000 years of western civilization and human nature changed overnight and

kids just decided to change what gender they wanted to be, of course this is a direct reflection of socialization of teachers and institutions suggesting and encouraging that kids question their gender and embrace the confusion that is inevitable of your youngest of years. i have a 6-year-old boy. multiple kids as you know, who believe he has a legitimate shot to be batman. he really does. you know, when he grows up. they are impressionable. they wonder. they don't -- and so when we throw confusion at them, concepts they can't possibly grasp from authority figures. your teacher is your authority figure. i mean, even more so than a parent for kids. i remember that i looked up to my teachers. anything they said was gospel, it's going to create incentives for them to explore things they wouldn't have otherwise conceived of. and i think it's going to have complications later in life that we can't calculate for right

now. >> todd: bill maher said just because i thought i wanted to be a pirate my parents didn't take me to get my eye removed and a peg leg installed. it's great point. pick up a copy of pete's book "battle for the american mind." >> carley: congratulations on the book it is doing well as we knew it would.
