save half a tank of gas, over the course of the entire summer so everyone in washington can pat themselves on the back. >> ashley: doug luzader is live in washington with more. good morning. >> doug: the president is back at the white house after soaking up beach time in delaware yesterday. he bristled at the suggestion that most economists see recession coming. >> president biden: not the majority are saying that, don't make things up, now you sound like republican politicians. i'm joking, that was a joke. nothing eniff tabl about recession. >> doug: no one is making that up, congressional times polled and said 70 pvrs expect recession next year. the president sees this crisis

as perhaps an opportunity. >> president biden: we have a chance here to make a fundamental turn toward renewable energy, electric vehicles and across the board. >> doug: senator josh hawley tweeted this. it should be crystal clear what the green new deal means. we're seeing bankrupt middle class families, domestic industry destroyed in favor of china. the president says he will decide by the end of the week whether to offer federal gas tax holiday 18.4% is federal component of the gas tax. back to you. >> carley: we'll be watching. and jesse watters says the economy is falling and biden on bike ride and time for the media to stop protecting the white house. >> jesse: we have high

expectation for presidential performance. we like presidents to have good hair, quick wit and swagger. we want someone to look good on television. he gets up from the fall, joe is fine. joe is not fine. nothing is fine. this guy has had two aneurysms before he became president, he broke his foot last year, chaotic evacuation from afghanistan, has a mask on all the time, kamala cackling, empty store shelves, the price of gasoline reminding us how bad this guy is, almost bad as bowing to the saudi king. >> carley: biden is meeting with the saudi prince next week --

churches and pro-life centers are being targeted in 40 instances. the court could roll back roe v. wade. congressman jim banks pointing out two sets of rules in the biden administration. >> their sham committee, their own rhetoric insighting people to show up to supreme court justices' homes. they are quick to go after parents who show up at school board meetings and drag their feet, 40 vileents attacks on crisis centers. >> we will see if the opinion on abortion rights is one of them. keep an eye on that. >> ashley: protesters are being

brain washed by the far left. >> it has nothing to do with abortion rights. it is the 21st century, things they are chanting about and complaining about are lies, many individuals are minors talking about women aren't incubators and we will not be enslaved. this is not a tv show, these individuals have been brainwashed by adults who know none of this is true. this is about dividing americans again. >> ashley: current supreme court term ends at the end of this month. serial car jacker accused of dragging and nearly killing a police officer. this never would have happened if the suspect were not released under the bail policy. steve rhodes is on deck. >> carley: new documents reveal west point academy is going

>> carley: motel shooting left two california cops dead last week. corporal and officer responding to report of a possible stabbing. the officers were both shot when they walked into the room. flores shot another sergeant while attempting to escape before taking his own life. gascon defending the light sentence given to flores for a prior charge that allowed him to be on the streets. the mother of one of the fallen officers joined us yesterday calling for george gascon's recall after she said george gascon cost her son his life. >> he's destroyed so many lives and completely destroyed ours, we are devastated.

>> carley: preparations are underway for the memorial service for the officers, they were remembered as brave men and heroes at their vigil this weekend. new york republicans calling out -- >> ashley: calling out governor hokul for letting criminals back on the street. a suspect stole a vehicle and nearly dragged new york detectivive ryan hines to his death. the criminal had a lengthy rap sheet before he was let out on the street. >> carley: steve, great to have you on, thank you for joining us, love to hear how detective hines is doing right now and i think we should start with the basics, what are bail reform laws on the books and what do you think they should be?

>> steve: we have to start with complete withdrawal to start with. you can't unscramble the egg. democrats implemented bail reform without what the effects would be. we are seeing effects, putting police officers at risk, created pandemic of lawlessness, which is self-inflicted and citizens are less safe. we need to scrap bail reform and start with responsible reform to bail laws. >> ashley: do you think the situation with officer hines could have been prevented with difference reform or cashless bail? >> steve: no question about it, the suspect was a serial car jacker who four days previously was in police custody. simply our police officer was

doing ryan hines was doing good police work and encountered the suspect, attempted to get him out of the vehicle. the individual drove away and steered toward police officer hines with the police officer being drug behind and pinned beneath his vehicle, almost cost him his life. he would not have been on the street if not for cashless bail and for criminal justice reforms, that solely falls on the shoulders of prior governor andrew cuomo, hochul and democrats that control the legislature. >> carley: the law on the books now, if charged with a misdemeanor, you are essentially not going to jail at all. majority of crimes committed in new york and nationally are by repeat offenders and a lot of times it affects criminals of

color the most. what is the conversation like and do you think something could get done to change this? >> steve: bottom line, i don't think you will change what comes out of albany until you change who we send to albany. we have an opportunity this year to elect new governor and to the assembly, there is no inclination on the governor or majority in either house to lead on this issue. they have enacted a pro-criminal agenda, which is making us less safe. new york city statistics show 3000 repeat offenders committed 900 new crimes in nassau county. crime increased major crimes by 66%. we've had increase of 166% in stolen vehicles, a 60's %

increase in residential burglarys, you are seeing pandemic of lawlessness which is self-inflicted. i join the call for immediate reform and if that doesn't happen, which i suspect it won't, we need a change in leadership in albany. >> carley: steve rhodes, thanks. >> ashley: turns out even president biden's own daughter knows not to let her dad talk to the press. >> international tax. >> no more. >> no more. >> 140 something nations. i'm coming. >> ashley: demanding security footage after several of stephen colbert's staffers are arrested. we'll talk about the double standard coming up next.

>> thursday evening after they finished their interviews, they were doing last-minute puppetry when triumph and my folks were approachd and detained by the capitol police, which actually is not surprising. the capitol police are more cautious than they were 18 months ago and for a very good reason. my staff was just doing their job, everyone was very professional and calm. my staffers were detained, processed and released. a very unpleasant situation for my staff. >> ashley: members of his staff are arrestod capitol grounds. cbs says the interviews were authorized and prearranged through congressional aids of those interviewed. joe concha, what should

americans take away from this episode? >> joe: stephen colbert is lying, of course. they were not being professional because they were in the building illegally. they had been escorted out and snuck back in. they were doing last-minute stuff in the hallways. they were banging on congressional doors at 8:30 at night and played the victim card, it was unpleasant for his staff. if a fox news crew committed the same crime, it would be covered wall to wall and snark level 1-10. these activists producers were not acting professionally and we'll be interested to see what happens. chad pergram says that --

let's see if justice is blind here. >> ashley: talk about this, too, msnbc host joy reid complaining about unfair treatment in the media. joy reid telling the root, i think she doesn't get to show her personality often enough and people haven't had a chance to get to know her, most media is white and male and their take on kamala harris becomes the take. do you think her approval rating is low because we don't know her or we know her? >> joe: how can we get to know the vice president? that's right. she can sit down and do an interview. she hasn't done one press interview and mike pence did

dozen of those. kamala harris is polling lower than joe biden who is polling lower from truman to trump and how she's being treated unfairly? the record in a sane and sober way. since she was put in charge of the border have crossings decreased or increased? increased, the voting rights bill, failed in it is senate. did she have oddacity to compare pearl harbor and 9/11 to the january 6 riot? she did. she is not seen as viable alternative to joe biden in 2024 voters know enough to know this will not go well if she runs for president and this analysis has nothing to do with color as joy reid sees everything through. >> carley: when you are the president of the united states and your grand daughter pulls you, way from a reporter asking

a question, this happened over the weekend. watch this. >> president biden: position. >> no more. >> president biden: i'm coming. this is my son beau's oldest daughter and she's trying to tell me, dad, granddad, pop, keep going. >> joe: trying to prevent him from answering questions and the president has taken several four-day weekends and he's do thanksgiving on consistent basis when inflation is six times higher than when he took office. maybe on another four-day weekend, i think the president should answer questions as long as possible, he has the rest of the time to relax.

his handlers and family keep doing this over and over again and i'm sure he doesn't like it very much and he should say enough, i'm the president and will take questions for as long as i want. it looks bad. >> ashley: it is hard to watch. joe, thank you for joining us. >> joe: see you tomorrow, i think, maybe, maybe not. >> carley: you will. the sun is coming up in new york city and it is officially summer. >> ashley: senior meteorologist janice dean is here with the fox weather forecast. hi. >> janice: hi, good morning. 5:13 a.m. is when summer officially began. it has been feeling like summertime for weeks now. we'll break records today for st. louis, michigan and record-breaking heat over georgia, south carolina, florida and alabama. look at little rock, today 99.

102 on saturday. the heat will break on monday. this has been weeks of heat and really dangerous heat, a lot of heat advisories are up. we have this area of high pressure sticking around for weeks and that area of high pressure is where we will see stronger storms. that front provides lift and we'll look at potential for stronger storms later this afternoon for parts of the gulf coast toward the upper midwest and toward the northeast as we get into tomorrow. there is a threat today. could see hail and damaging winds, isolated tornados, we will not talk about severe weather outbreak. tomorrow we will see potential for stronger storms for upstate new york down toward the mid-atlantic and ohio river valley. our future track showing the southwest getting beneficial moisture, this is what we call

the monsoon season bringing the pacific and gulf of mexico, good news for areas dealing with drought, bad news because it comes fast and furious and could be dealing with this. first to report it, you hear it by janice dean. >> carley: biden-flation coming for your summer barbecue, how much more you will be paying for your grilling favorites. >> ashley: and virginia voters head to the polls in 30 minutes, we'll talk to one of the candidates on the ballot today. stick around. ♪ ♪ make way for the first-ever chevy silverado zr2. with multimatic shocks,

two, elaine lauria is running unopposed, her seat is vulnerable come november, she will face one of the four gop challengers. abigail spanburger is running unopposed today, will face one of six republicans in november. virginia panel joined us last hour and they want less conversation and more action. listen. >> the state of the country is pretty bleak today, i think we will see a huge red wave. politicians need to recognize trauma families have faced over the last two years. >> we don't have a common language anymore, this was great about america. >> brooke: we could see a fierce fight in district eight, when democrat don bier hopes to win

against his challenger in a tight race. down in alabama, voters will decide senate primary runoff between mo brooks and katie britt, the winner will take on democrat will boyd in november. today we'll see gop runoff race in swing state of georgia, vernon jones will go head-to-head with businessman mike collins. >> carley: vice president mike pence is weighing in on the midterm and you spoke to him yesterday? >> brooke: i did. i sat down with the former vice president yesterday and he says focus on winning seats in local and state races before planning for 2024. we said we need to win the mid-term elections. extraordinary sub the trump

administration had during first two years was not just because of republican majorities in house and senates, we had 31 republican governors that were partnering with us everyday to advance policies at the state level that magnified what we were doing at the federal lifl. he is not ruling out a presidential run when he believes democrats are using the january 6 committee to distract from failed policies at home and abroad. >> carley: thank you. bring in a candidate on the gop ballot today and the state's second district. we saw your picture under a key race, so much so kevin mccarthy has endorsed you. how do you think things will go today? >> great. we're super excited for victory today. we are excited to be a part of flipping the u.s. house this

coming midterm cycle, it goes through the second district seat. >> carley: the district you are running in is represented by a democrat congresswoman elaine laurie, on the january 6 committee and a navy veteran, just like you and you feel confident you will be able to flip this seat red come november? >> absolutely. she is also a navy veteran, a helicopter pilot. we are both moms, we are both elected. my job is to educate voters and tie her to nancy pelosi and the policies and what they have done to america. we are excited about today, we think it will go great and i want to help take back this seat and flipping the house this year. >> carley: virginia is interesting, it is considered a blue state, you have governor

youngkin's win that was huge deal for the state and fired up parentss in loudoun county started a movement against critical race theory. should it really be considered a blue state? >> there is a lot of momentum in virginia. the house and senate, run by democrats, they got what they wanted in virginia. voters woke up and last november was referendum on that and we saw momentum flipping the state house, same momentum will carry us through this year and win is at our back, we feel great about it. virginia voters care about education and we saw the

movement that will be on the ballot this year. really the economy, economy, economy, you talk about january 6 and sitting on the commission and not about that, that is not what we're hearing at the door or when we talk to voters. we're hearing about gas prices and grocery prices. voters are feel thanksgiving and they will vote because of those issues. you will see a great turnout and those are voters that will help us get the seat back. cake as virginia goes, so does the rest of the nation. best of luck. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> carley: new evidence showing the army is teaching west point cadets critical race theory. the lessons include seminars on whiteness, the group's president tom fitton joined us earlier.

>> we are teaching anti-americanism and division, it is designed to attack one race and victimize another. if you are trying to build cohesive military, why bring this in? >> ashley: lessons are asking about affirmative action and gender ideology. swimming -- two-time olympian mara yamauchi joined us. >> what fina has done, they have upheld and enforced fairness for female swimmers. i welcome this decision. the female category exists so females can enjoy fair and safe competition. >> ashley: transgender swimmers can compete in women's events as long as they transitioned before the age of 12. transgender men can compete in

with you as much or maybe canceling and rethinking we have to put our money somewhere else? >> yeah, if you would have asked me six months ago, i would have told you absolutely not. in the last two or three months, normal excuses like we are moving or this happened or that happened, that is normal in our industry. we are getting my wife lost our job, we are looking at financials, we would love to have you through the summer, maybe we will pick up in the fall. we did not hear that any time other than after corona hit. >> ashley: horrible to hear this is happening, especially in america. ben, your roofing company, you have had a pretty good year as far as residential, you said the

best year since 2014, but news recently the manufacturer said because of rising cost in fuel and supply chain issues there is going to be increase in the products now. do you think that will start showing on your wallet and people will rethink things like having their roof done. that can be pretty expensive. >> the cost of roofs is just substantially climbing month over month dating back to january of last year issue the cost of the roof is up probably 50% and we're on a electroned right now of homeowners saying i can't afford the roof, i am looking to repair it at this time. >> ashley: brandon, you own an air conditioning company, been in business 16 years now. what are you going to do or have you heard why people are not

repairing roof, first day of summer, it is really hot. people are dealing with scorching temperatures, do you think they are going to say, i have to put gas in my car instead of >> phil: my ac? >> we are seeing people decide fix your air condition, buy gas or groceries and seen increase in people financing new systems and repairs for the first time. we joined with a finance company who will help them repair their system and finance it as an option, it is getting scary when 95 or 96 degrees around here and they can't cool their house? >> is that usually last option, have financing pay? >> yes, it is. we offer free window unitss to put in before they can repair it or come up with a payment plan

ourselves. interest ratess are still so high. >> ashley: all business owners are just coming off the issue of covid-19 and everything being shut down and people losing their jobs. i pray everything will be okay with your business. it is tough right now. a lot of people are struggling right now. good luck to you. good luck. and drug adiktss passed out on the streets of portland telling you what you need to know about decriminalization policy. >> carley: what do liberal leaders want to do now? tomi lahren is here next. if your moderate to severe crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms are stopping you in your tracks... choose stelara® from the start...

whatever they are doing now is currently not working. >> ashley: on to this drug addicts. they are passing out all over

the streets in portland. showing how the city's decriminalization program has backfired. some are now proposing to house them japanese style coffin homes is what they are calling them. i just want to talk about the failed drug addiction hotline as well. so, 116 people have called the health line. only 66 people wanted to void the ticket and then 23 are already receiving treatment and don't want any more -- the list goes on and on. tomi, my question is, don't they realize that this is clearly not working? when we see pictures like this all over the place? >> yeah. it's not working for these cities. not only do they have crime problems but they have health ml health and drug. if money solved the problems you wouldn't see these problems continuing. a lot of these people don't want help there are no consequences for not getting help. those addicted to drugs and

mental health problems. i turn to those that are the politicians and d.a.s and ask them why are you encouraging this? what is the benefit to you and to your people and communities soft on courtroom and aiding and abetting drug abuse. what is the benefit? it makes no sense to me. that the question that needs to be asked. people like george soros pumping money into activist d.a.s that are is only worsening this problem? what is the end goal here? that's what we need to ask. i don't think any america understands what is going on. why they are doing it and why people continue to vote for people allowing their cities to be run like this. something has to change and it start with your vote. >> absolutely starts with your vote. that's why we talk to voter panels today in virginia and one of the issues that everybody talks about even those who are living in a safe areas are crime. and when you talk about crime, tomi, it was like appealing back layers of an onion where first we thought that the reason there was spike in crime had to do with defund the police. and then the focus of attention

turned into the liberal prosecutors that are really acting like defense attorneys. and then we started learning about the judges that were handing out these really soft on crime sentences. so, with all of those forces working against victims, do you have any hope that the situation in this country will get any better? >> i think we are going to see a lot of things change in november because the voters are going to make it change, carley, i ask you, when we look at all those things that you mentioned, all the problems that are plain of day, i go back to my original question, why is this happening? why are these politicians, even though they have a d behind their name, why are they advocating for these things that don't make their communities or people suffering their communities any safer? we have to get to the why of it and they have to be pressed on this on a daily basis. this needs to be election issue. i understand wanting to coddle those that are addicted to drugs or have mental health issues or even felons that you want to give a second chance. not to the detriment of the decent, hardworking average americans in these cities who don't feel safe walking around

in their own communities and backyards anymore. something has to change. we have to get to the why of the problem and really hold them accountable for it. >> ashley: last but not least your show tomi lahren is fearless. it just premiered on outkick last night. tell us what we can expect from your newest show, tomi. >> oh, we had a lot of fun last night. i encourage those of you who haven't seen it to go check it out, of course, outkick.com. last night i talked to not only golfer john daly and enes kanter free come. a funny story enes told me used to be good friends with colin kaepernick. all of a sudden when he started pressing about a chinese atrocities, colin kaepernick stopped answering his text messages. if you missed that, go check it out. all across my social media as well. i appreciate the support. >> carley: congratulations on the new show. certainly one to watch. we appreciate you joining us this morning. >> thank you, ladies. >> carley: we have some news of our own to report a very new
