>> have been on the front line as an employment officer and seen things i have never seen from the demonizing brave men and women to law enforcement and it is unbelievable. all of this has been brought to the american people on a silver platter of joe biden and his democrat allies. >> and we could see a fierce fight in district eight where john baer is hoping to keep his seat for a fifth term against challenger victoria and what could be a tight race here in town and alabama, voters will decide it's in a primary between republican congressman lowe brooks and trump's backed katie brecht. the democrats will boyd in november. lastly g.o.p. runoff race in the swing state of georgia where trump suspect vernon jones will go head-to-head with businessman mike collins for a chance to place democratic nominee also to be decided in a runoff, carley, ashley. >> vice president mike pence weighing in on the importance of

this year's midterm election. and you had a chance to speak with him yesterday. what did you guys talk about? >> that is right, carley, i sat down with a former vice president in chicago yesterday and he told me republicans need to focus winning congressional seats and local and state before planning for 2024. he said, we need to win the midterm elections and reelect republican governors around the country. trump told me the vote extraordinary with the trump administration head during the first two years was not just because we had republican majorities in the house and senate but also because they had 31 republican governors that were partnering with them every day to advance policies at the state level that magnified what they were doing at the federal level. and mike pence told me he's not ruling out a presidential run himself, especially when he believes democrats are using the january 6th committee to distract from what he called

failed policies at home and abroad, ashley, carley. >> brooke singman live, thanks. president biden facing criticism once again with the inflation crisis to push clean energy agenda, listen. >> we have a chance here to make a fundamental turn towards new origin, electric vehicles. but across the border. and that is something that we should do. the ceo with major oil companies this week. and to justify making $35 billion. >> those as the weight of the federal gas tax holiday which could come by the end of this week. missouri senator josh hawley responding on twitter "it should be crystal clear what the green new deal means. we are seeing it in action. gas prices to bankrupt the middle class families, soaring inflation, domestic energy destroyed in favor of china."

president biden spent last weekend in delaware where he made way for snapping at a reporter who pressed him about economists predicting a recession. >> not the majority are saying that, come on, don't make things up, okay? you sound like my republican politicians, i'm joking. that was a joke. all kidding aside, no, i don't think it is. what is inevitable about a recession? >> the gas price hovering $5 a gallon and diesel prices staying above $5.80 today. today is mike huckabee to take on the lack of action by president biden on the economy and just about everything else. >> you know, there is an old rule in politics when in public service in an office, sometimes you are doing something great, but it doesn't look like you are doing anything. there are other times when you really aren't doing anything, but it looks like you are doing something great. joe biden has managed to do nothing and to make it look like

he's doing nothing. and i'm glad he didn't get hurt falling off of the bike, but that really was a metaphor for his entire administration and tenure. he just can't keep the bicycle on the road. he crashes it. you know, it is a good thing he's not hurt, but the american people are hurting. >> now to pro-abortion activists ramping up efforts to stop the rollback of roe vs. wade. >> a decision on high-stakes mississippi abortion case could come down as soon as today. jackie ibanez joining us live with the details, good morning, jackie. good morning, ladies pro-abortion activists returning to the steps of the supreme court. they are vowing to wage disruptive resistance and the hopes of stopping high court from overturning roe v. wade. the planned demonstration comes a day after protesters returned to the home of justice federal alito. it was justice amy coney barrett's home this similar

protest. far left activists dressed in bloodstained outfits and holding baby dolls marched along the street in her quiet virginia suburb. republicans continue to denounce these type of protest as a legal attempts to intimidate the court and are slamming the department of justice for not taking any action. this is a new report shows pro-life centers targeted with violence in over 40 instances since the week's draft opinion shows the court should rollback roe v. wade. congressman jim banks pointing out that two sets of rules and the putin biden administration. >> they are so hyper focused on january with sham committee, yet their own rhetoric society to show up and protest the supreme court justice home. there is a one-sided justice system with the biden department of justice where quick to go after parents who show up at school board meetings, but they dragged their feet about supreme court justices or the 40

violent attacks on pregnancy centers. >> and at the supreme court is expected to release opinions later this morning. of course, we will have to see if decision on abortion rights is one of them, back to you guys. >> thank you so much. let's bring in tom fitton. tom, do you think the decision will come down today and if so, what do you expect it to be questioning >> way hope it comes down today because of what the left has done is they placed justices lives at risk through this incitement in this intimidation's and the son of the decision comes out, the more safe the supreme court will be peer that is the reality of biden america. if they hold up in this draft opinion and it turns out to be the majority opinion as i suspect it will become it will be great news for america. the states will finally be able to more forcefully provide protection for the right to life for unborn human beings. i don't think americans

understand that practically speaking if you are pregnant, you can kill your unborn child through the entire nine months of pregnancy. that is going to change under roe v. wade in many states thankfully. and many unborn human beings will be alive and celebration despite what the left pretends. >> tom, we saw that mapi and jackie ibanez's report of all the attacks on pro-life clinics across the nation and it was astounding but do you think the precedent set in the tone set for people to retaliate essentially or protest if they don't like what happens? granted, you know, they could affect the decision, could it not? >> yeah, that is the danger. look, you've had the biden white house encourage and condone illegal activity outside of the homes of justices. it makes the jeff's doses unsafe

come obviously. they have children. you have the lift talking about riots if unborn human beings might have more right to life protections in the attack on pregnancy centers, let's be clear with the senators do, they help women who are pregnant. so they are attacking mothers, mothers and their unborn children in places where they would be. they are endangering the public's health and the public safety. and of course, the constitutional system that relies on the courts at least to make decisions based on the rule of law rather than mob rule. >> and the president's response has been almost nothing. i don't even think he has contempt these protest may be through a statement, through karine jean-pierre but if roe v. wade gets overturned he thinks it will work politically. you know that happens, he will make a speech sating he wants to defend women's rights. it will become a key issue for

him. do you think that is where the american people are? do you think if roe will get overturned, it will boost his poll numbers? >> i don't think so. i think joe biden's poll numbers are where they are for a variety of reasons. i don't think there is much political support for abortion on demand with tax dollars, which is the left's approach here. and i think americans are going to be better off where we have more protections for mothers and their unborn children. now, joe biden's on the wrong side of this. we may see a negative because he is promoting extremism. i may have missed it. i don't want to say he's actually never said anything directly on this yet because who knows. maybe he said something. but has he said anything directly personally about the

assassination attempt of justice brett kavanaugh, an extraordinary moment and negative moment in american history? i don't think he has. >> list turn to this now a new document contained by your organization found army cadets at west point are being given seminars about whiteness and critical race theory. i just want to read one lesson in order to understand racial equality, it is first necessary to address whiteness. is this really what the military needs to be focusing on right now? >> no, it is anti-american marxist trap. slavery? they talk about modern-day slavery. m talking about modern-day slavery in america and blacks facing the equivalent of it. my gosh, if this is written in russian, chinese, you wouldn't understand our enemies are trying to divide and undermine the officer corps in the army. west point is the most important

service academy in our nation. it's been around since the revolutionary war. and we are teaching anti-americanism and racial division. you know, frankly it is designed to attack one race and victimize another. and if you are trying to build a cohesive military, why would you bring this end? to me, there's got to be accountability. congress has to step in. we have the justice department that should be preventing this type of, in my view, legal based discrimination and hatred for being promoted in the military facilities. where is the chief -- where is the defense secretary? where is the chief of staff? where is the leadership of west point? of course, many people forget, president biden purged the visitors board of west point and the service academies and they have been essentially not operating the last few months.

boy, we need oversight because we need to protect this rising generation. this is a threat from within. speak with the documents or her to come by. you had to sue the military twice to receive this cachet of information. i went to read some more. another from west point reads do you think affirmative action creates an environment for reverse discrimination, use ert to support your answer? they are it is, and this cadet asked what is the difference between desegregation versus integration? how would you apply a tenet of critical race theory to this idea? you talk about a slide on modern day and theory and policies. i'm sure that is the dod to respond to this to say we teach a whole bunch of academic lesson. this is just one of them. but i think you raise a good point when you say, "you know, there is no place more important

than west point to teach love of country." if you are talking about modern-day slavery in the u.s., what does that due to the american military? fox news reached out to dod for a response, we haven't heard back. have you? >> no, we sued them so that's how we hear things back, they turn over documents and the court process. you know, this is where we train the next generation of army leaders. this is rising officer corps and military. they are being told they have to understand crt and apply it to public policy issues. it is a marxist cousin theory which is just a variation of the theme in terms of anti-americanism. so they have to understand this marxist attack on america, this raises attack on america that wants to undo our entire system. our military needs to be protecting error military system

and our constitution and freedoms and the liberties as opposed to brainwashing. and also anti-americanism that seeks to undo our system, the american way here the left hates the american way because they believe it needs to be restructured because of their revolutionary approach. about most americans want to protect america and don't believe we should try to destroy ourselves through racial division. you know, philosophically, that is a bad idea. the law prohibits it. you cannot engage in targeted racists. certainly not in the military. >> this was certainly eye-opening pair that is why the organization -- thank you for joining us as always, appreciate it. >> you are welcome. >> now to stephen colbert to laugh off last week's arrest with several of his chosen staff

members on capitol grounds. >> thursday evening after they finish their interviews, they were doing last-minute puppetry and triumphant and my folks approached and detained by the capitol police, which actually isn't surprising. the capitol police are much more cautious than they were say 18 months ago. [laughter] and for a very good reason. my staff was just doing their job. everyone was very professional. everyone was very calm. my staffers was detained, processed, and released. a very unpleasant experience for my staff. >> congressman jim jordan drawing contrast to democrats treating the capital tourist before january 6th. in a letter to capitol police, the reporter gained access back to the building through representative adam schiff. much has been made lately about unauthorized access to health office buildings unlike two micra allegations of reconnaissance towards however the events on june 16th,

actually resulted in arrest for unlawful entry. jordan is also questioning why lawmakers on january 6 committee would even bother hosting stephen colbert comedy group at the u.s. capitol in the first place. >> the real take away is i thought january 6th committee was supposed to be the most important investigation and the most solemn, serious committee in the history of the republic. if that is the case, why are they working with a comedy crew leading them into videotape whatever they were going to videotape and letting in the capitol complex illegally. so, that is a question. this whole double standard in the eye did they get to have it both ways drives me crazy, you crazy and all the folks watching drives them crazy as well. >> today the first look at images from inside the armed officers an hour before entering the classroom. in publishing a leak

surveillance video of officers carrying rifles and bullet shields into the school's hallway. it was reportedly long before the cops opened any doors. the photo was expected to be analyzed the first texas state ring on the massacre that claimed the lives of 19 innocent children and two teachers in uvalde appear at the doj is conducting its own independent review on the law enforcement's response. the teenage boy killed at the unpermitted washington, d.c., juneteenth festival. the 15-year-old reportedly shot on two separate occasions before sunday's deadly shooting and armed at the time of his death. three others including the police officer hurt in a shooting and recovering at the hospital. the metro police officer offering $25,000 award for any information leading to the arrest of the gunmen. and speaking of crime, take a look at this. and armed criminal pointed his gun and a man holding a baby but wait until you see what happens

speak with the mother of a 17-year-old who died after accidentally taking fentanyl is speaking out. they found him slumped over his desk 2022 days after christmas. his mother said he took a percocet pill on snapchat not really amazing it was laced. >> there were no drugs in his room, so a real mystery why he would be dead. but tragically in our county, in california, a large uptick in fentanyl deaths. so the coroner's office was the first to guess it was fentanyl. >> more than 80,000 people died after overdosing on opioids like fentanyl last year. doctors are blaming an uptick in smuggling across the southern

border. florida governor ron d sentence claiming that the white house is lying about the sunshine state covid-19 vaccine. florida has not ordered vaccines for children under five despite the white house saying florida's health department did. desantis calling out the biden administration and the mainstream media. take a look. >> the white house is lying about it. we are not surprised the white house would like, definitely not surprise the legacy media would amplify the life because that is what they do. we will not have any programs where we are trying to jab six months babies with mrna. >> president biden expected to address the nation about the faxing rollout for children under five later this afternoon, ashley. >> ashley: of the cryptocurrency ceo is sounding off on woke culture and defending libertarian values against activist employees. jesse powell ceo took to twitter writing "most people don't care

and want to work but can't be productive while people keep dragging them into debates and therapy sessions. jesse powell joins us now. jesse, basically your statement is we are inclusive but not woke is what you are messaging is. do you think other companies will follow suit? >> absolutely. so, i think you are starting to see the pendulum swing back the other way. i think you see a lot of leaders, a lot of companies to take a stance and find their culture clearly. the first people not in and aligned with the culture to find a better opportunity for themselves. >> what type of people are you looking to hire? you said your company looking to do a better job of filtering up front. what did you mean by that? >> yeah, in fact since the culture dock was released a few days ago, 2,000 increased percent to the career page. something must be resonating with people out there.

what we are looking for is someone who is aligned with our culture and values. who is very resilient, who is going to be comfortable working in an environment with people from 70 plus countries speaking 50 plus different languages. so, that means different norms, different cultures, different ideas and the diversity of viewpoints and not just checking boxes on the census. it is literally people all over the world participating in this company. you really have to have thick skin and appreciation for the culture to be able to work in a place like this. you know, a lot of people are looking for something like that. there are a few people looking for something that fits their ideology or very specific narrow view of the world which is, if you don't agree with me, you are an evil person and i need to destroy you. we certainly don't want those kind of people at the company. >> hopefully, putting that in the forefront, it will prevent

people that you don't need working for you like that to even try in the first place. here is the kraken statement on keeping people out of the workplace "we will never ask them to adopt ideology as a requirement for the workplace. we asked employees respect privacy, freedoms of others. crypto is a freedom movement and kraken a freedom company." elon musk tweeted back in response to it saying "good." what do you make elon musk being on board with you and your company and your stance? >> i think it is great to see more leaders. you know, obviously elon is a respected person and leader. he's got some company in california as well. he's dealing with similar issues via twitter which i think that some of the same problems we've. i'm sure he's used to facing some of it, but seems to have the right approach to it.

i think he will do just fine. >> jesse, have you had pushed back for may be anyone praising comments internally? >> yeah, there has been pushed back internally. some of the people who are now leaving, pushback and always interesting to me. i started this company years ago and people come in three months and think they have an opinion how the company should be run. we sacrifice a long way to get to where we are. we certainly will not bend over backwards or cave to some new 25-year-old joining the company and wanting to impress political ideology on the 3,000 people in the company. so, you know, i don't know what to say to those people other than i am sorry to disappoint you. but hopefully, there is a better opportunity out there for you. a lot of people in the company have a lot of different views. this whole thing comes down to tolerance and they are the people who are intolerant of other people's views.

if you don't agree with them, they will make a fuss and drag the whole company down with them. i think you have to look out for these guys and filter the mouth up front. hopefully, we've done a lot to discourage them from coming in. >> carley: jesse powell thank you for joining us this morning, good luck to you. >> thanks. >> carley: lia thomas made waves by smashing records in women's swimming competitions, which led to new international guidelines for transgender athletes and for sports. but that has led to major backlash. we are asking a former olympian to respond. and a man was told he could not donate blood to refuse to answer if he was pregnant. what? we will explain that coming up next. ♪ ♪

security video out of detroit. a man pulls out a gun on another man carrying a baby. he is entering a gas station and pulls out the weapon from his waistband. tries grabbing the gun from the suspect and backs away with a firearm still in his hand. the police think the two had an argument before hand. the suspect is still on the loose. five major u.s. cities are on track to surpass the homicide totals from last year. los angeles, washington, d.c., baltimore, milwaukee, atlanta outpacing 2021 numbers. milwaukee facing the largest spike of all five. fox news shows the largest city rocked by nearly 30% increase in homicides from this time last year. the numbers continue. the trend started in 2020 when homicides in the u.s. backed by 30% in 2019. and the president of the national fallen officers foundations has liberal leaders

are feeling our city. listen. >> if goes against their narrative. the last three weeks, i've been going to inner-city committees meeting with city leaders about the crime issue. we are talking about the crime issue and the moderates and the kids been killed in the community in no way to stop it. to think about it, the last two years the democrat socialist has convinced us to defund the police and went away from taking resources away from the police. and now, we talk about we need more police officers to do the job. the reality is -- i think it is important for us to explain to the public that there is a difference between law enforcement and the administration of justice. what happens when they get to the criminal system of justice is on the d.a., the justice, the liberal politicians that continually release these violent criminals into society. yes, young victims in the community are being left behind. >> voters and deep blue san francisco recognize this when they recall jeff putin and

george gaskell brags he will be next. awoke governing body for lia thomas with gender inclusion policy limiting which transgender swimmers are able to compete in women's sports. lgbqt advocacy group stated a new eligibility criteria for transgender athletes and athletes with variations discriminatory. transgender athletes criticizing the move "all women suffer up and sports organizations release the bodies of women." two-time olympian and elite marathon runner mara yamauchi is joining us now. i want to read this. this is the policy, gender inclusion policy. it includes transgender sports, must transition before the age of 12. men are able to compete in man's competition with some exceptions in the organization is researching new policy policy to have open competition for all

genders. do you think this policy is fair to women? >> yes, i do. what they have done is upheld and enforced female swimmers and female athletes and any other sports that covers this, et cetera. i welcome this decision. the female -- so that females can have fair and safe competition. and by definition the males who have gone through male puberty, this is what fina have done. anybody who's gone through male puberty cannot compete in the women's category. this is the only way you can achieve for female athletes. the difference between males and females in swimming is approximately 10%. males outperform females 10%. therefore, testosterone depression, science shows it

does not move the advantages. it removes some but not all. therefore, you have males competing against females is unfair to females. >> lia thomas is the most notable transgender swimmer because mediocre at best while competing as a man just a few years ago and transition to female swimming and started dominating. this decision would prevent lia thomas from competing in the olympics with other women. but there is discussion, starting a transgender category. do you think that is the direction we are going and where we see men, women and transgender category at the olympic level? >> just to your first point, lia thomas is welcome at the olympics and the male category. but the biological sex is male if she can qualify. she is welcome in the mail olympics. but b3 will look at an open category. one solution to this category is

to have two categories, one for females exclusively and the other would be open. so, all males or trans women, anybody not biologically female goes to the open category. what i understand, they will stick with male and female, and then have an extra open category. fina says the working groups, so we don't know exactly how it will work. but yes, i think it is a good solution because people who are born male like lia thomas cannot compete in the female category. and we can protect females. so i think an open category is a very good solution. trans people must and should be welcomed in sports, for everybody and it is good for mental and physical health. nobody is banning trans people from sports. this is a question of categories. so i think fina's category of an open category is good.

whether trans women will want to compete and it is yet to be seen. >> carley: mara yamauchi thank you so much for providing clarity on the topic. we appreciate you joining us. >> thank you. >> carley: you are very welcome. a man reportedly turned away from a blood drive in scotland after refusing to answer whether he was pregnant. the 66-year-old was told to fill out a form asking if he was expecting a child or had been pregnant in the past six months. the daily mail "it is nonsensical and makes me angry because they were vulnerable people waiting for blood, including children and in desperate need of help." i think he makes a very good point in that statement. a red wave for virginia last november and republicans looking to keep that momentum alive for the midterm. before voters head to the pole for the primaries today, we will be asking them which issues matter the most. some bad news to start your summer, your backyard barbecue is about to cost you a lot more this year thanks to inflation.

country is pretty bleak today. i think we are going to see a huge red wave, not just in virginia november but across the country. for me personally, if you know, the top issues that i would really like to see her ship tackle are, you know giving us relief on the economy, crime, you know, we saw these progressives prosecutors. we have one right here in my backyard in loudoun county going light on crime. we need to get back to being tough on crime and keeping the community safe. education has been a huge one for me for over two years now my ever since they closed schools and i became an accidental activist in part of the parents movement here appear the open border, you know, national secut continues to ignore. they double down.

and they are focused on the wrong thing. >> you don't think about loudoun county on a national level without thinking about education. it is a beautiful country but put on the map a national level but amy, what is driving you to the polls today? the three top issues for me are education and inflation in what i call social instability. for virginia's education system this year as parents, we found out that more than 60% of the kids in virginia at the third through eighth grade level are proficient in reading and math. yet, the school seems more concerned about what pronouns students are using and whether they can come if you know, understand the language of the oppressed versus oppressor. where does reading and math come in? that is their job. covid showed us believe there are a whole bunch of things going on in the code that shouldn't be going on there.

the content is a huge one that we are dealing with in our county. as far as inflation goes, it is terrible. when you go to the grocery store in the last year from our grocery prices have doubled. eric asked prices have tripled,, and our wages are staying the same. families can't deal with that. lastly, stability front, social instability front. we don't have a common language anymore. it used to be that we could agree that this is what america was. this is what is great about america. when we have that common language and common values come a can work together to address the problems that we are having peer that is not the case anymore. so looking for politicians to come with resolutions. >> that is so well said so much mud flinging and so little crosstalk in conversation and trying to reach actual

conclusions. you live in fairfax county and other beautiful area but what is top of mind today? >> i will echo much of the same pure of the gas and groceries, it is a nightmare appeared any time you go to the grocery store, even food shortages and went to get eggs yesterday and i had to go to two different grocery stores to get eggs for my family. i think politicians need to recognize the trauma that many families have faced over the course of the last two years that really create solutions. i think many people are feeling what can go wrong next. we need hope. we made solutions for many of the problems that are in the community. >> the gas prices, we have the new average for your state, $4.80 per gallon. so, it is pretty evident why all of you are feeling that. thank you so much for joining us this morning. it is great talking to you.
