defense production act over the price of gas. >> carley: the president's push for a gas tax holiday getting pushback from the democrats, warning "this policy would at best achieve miniscule relief while blowing $10 billion hole in the highway trust fund that would need to be filleded if we want to fix crumbling bridges, advance the modern infrastructure system," and griff jenkins is live in washington can more. good morning. >> griff: good morning. the president's plan is combination of suspending federal gas tax until september and calling on states to suspend their respective gas tax and now issuing war-footing edick that oil companies lower their prices. watch. >> president biden: to companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump, this is a

time of war, global peril, ukraine, these are not normal times. bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect cost you are paying for the product. do it now, do it today. >> griff: the president's messaging blaming inflation and russia took a hit when jerome powell broke with the putin price hike spin. >> is the word ukraine the primary driver of inflation in america? >> no, inflation was high before the war in ukraine broke out. >> griff: numbers back that up. gas prices, when biden took office $2.49, today $4.94, just got the numbers. energy secretary seemeds to struggle when confronted about it. watch. >> the fed chairman was on the

hill today and asked a question is the war the primary driver of inflation and his answers no, how do you square that, is he wrong? >> i didn't hear what he said on that, most people acknowledge the price of fuel is a big driver of inflation. >> griff: awkward gathering today when grant holmes sits down at a meeting that president biden is skipping. he said this. >> i guarantee you we're going to end fossil fuel and i will not -- on that, okay. >> griff: republicans are calling out the president on the pain at the pump. >> when this administration came in, they did everything to stifle production of fossil fuel, including gas and oil and that is now unfortunately beginning to cause big, big problems that and increased

demand that came out of the pandemic. >> griff: when is that meet something we don't know, it is not on the board yet. we know the president is not there. we know fed chair powell will testify again today, sitting down in front of the house financial services committee. you can expect more to dive into the root causes of our inflation and the fact we get slapped in the face every time we pull into a gas station. carley and ashley. >> carley: that slap hurts. what do you hear about the federal gas tax holiday? been reaction from members on capitol hill about it, decrease gasoline prices 18 centss and diesel prices 24%. will it pass? >> griff: great questioning, we'll see. remember, you have congress looking to get things wrapped up, they are doing gun

legislation about to go on two-week recess for the 4th of july. will there be enough support to get something like this okayed? i think the general consensus on capitol hill is look, if it helps a little, perhaps, what else do you have biden administration? we know that it is not going to fix things long-term. carley and ashley. >> ashley: when you talk about the general consensus, democrat and republican, when you constantly hear this administration going back and forth like the secretary of energy you just played in your package there, she said, i didn't hear that, they are constantly showing their hand they are not on the same page. what is the word on capitol hill from democrats and republicans and the administration not knowing what is going on between them? >> griff: well, the depends on who you talk to, ashley. in general, what congress wants

is some solution other than simply go buy a tesla tomorrow, that is not a solution and democrats and every member of the house is up for re-election in november, they want to transition to agreeing footing but the same time with $5 gas and just under as people head out on summer vacation, democrats and republicans know you have to bring relief to americans and when you have the former president barack obama among the litany of those things gas tax holiday is a gimmick, well, it doesn't sit well for those that are going to be on the ballot box in november? >> ashley: there is a big meeting today with energy executive and the president is not going to be there, which is interesting, optically, he's made statements saying

decreasing the price of things is his number one priority. why do you think he wouldn't attend this meeting, griff? sitting down with executives wouldn't play well with the green side of his party? >> griff: i think that's a large part of it, indeed, carl and he reached back to 2019 campaign statement. the president made is clear before he got elected he wants to get rid of fossil fuel, for the crowd he appeases, he looks like he's then playing to their hand and trying to help them out and end of the day, interesting to see what the readout is if that is all we get from the read out shows there was any movement because the oil companies said, we took huge hits to profit through the pandemic and now trying to adjust to new green footing we're headed toward.

help us out, you have closed in all new oil leases for drilling and we cannot expand refineries and build new refineries, so what are we supposed to do? the white house has themselves in a corner from the standpoint of not giving avenue for oil companies to help other than what the president did, war-footing edic, i don't care the economy in the global oil market, simply lower prices, that will not play well. >> carley: okay, griff jenkins live in washington, thanks. and the uvalde district placed on administrative leave for the robb elementary school shooting. because of lack of clarity that remains and unknown timing of when i'll receive the results of the investigation, i made the decision to place the chief on

administrative leave, family members of the 19 kids and two teachers killed demanded arredondo's resignation. suing texas department of public safety for denying him access to the records of the tragedy. the uvalde mayor insists they are cooperating. >> the gloves are off, as we know, we will share it, we will not hold back anymore. we thought we were doing a formal investigation and doing the right thing. >> ashley: the mayor added litigation may be the only way texas dps produces information about the deadly shooting. >> carley: speaking out against the gun control bill in the senate. scalise telling members the legislation is an effort to slowly chip away at law abiding

citizen second amendment rights. it would enhance background checks for people 18 to 21, include money for red flag laws and provide billions to states for mental health services. >> we weren'ts allowed to see it until moments before we were asked to vote on it. as you know, legislative text takes longer to digest and understand. a lot of characterization didn't add up and still doesn't. >> carley: supporters of the bill hope to pass it by saturday, before the 4th of july recess and would then head to the house. senator cruz voted against the plan and pushing his own bill instead. >> the cruz barrosalegislation focused on stopping violent

crime, prosecuted by department of justice and sent to federal prison. if you try to illegally buy a gun, you will be prosecuted and sent to federal prison, this bill provides $36 billion for funding over 10 years for police officers, armed police officers in schools, doubles number of police officers in schools and provides $10 billion for mental health counselors to try to take away firearms from law-abiding citizens. that approach is unconstitutional and doesn't work. it is completely ineffective in stopping violent crime. >> carley: first on fox, attack on pro-life organization the latest acts of intimidation by

far left extremist. >> ashley: and fliers are circulate nothing washington and social media, brooke singman joins us with the latest details. good morning. >> brooke: pro-choice activists linked to jane's revenge targeting building shared by a pro-life organization in a michigan campaign office. fox received photos from congressman tim wahlberg. the group spokeswoman telling us, we feel it is such a sad state of affairs that groups like jane's revenge is resorting to hate crimes. the congressman blames the white house for the string of attacks he told fox news, it is shameful that president biden and speaker pelosi have both refused to condemn these intimidation

tactics from radical pro-abortion activists. fliers calling for a night of rage are circulating in washington and on social media ahead of the supreme court ruling that could overturn roe v. wade. president biden has yet to tackle the topic headon leaning on the white house press secretary to address the uptick in attacks. listen. >> violence and destruction of property have no place under any circumstance and the president denounces this action, actions like this are unacceptable regardless of our politics. >> supreme court is scheduled to issue slew of opinions this morning at 10 a.m., the leaked draft opinion would roll back at the federal level could be one of them and seeing reports vice president kamala harris will meet with democratic state attorney general today ahead of a possible ruling. >> ashley: thanks, brooke.

mayra flores demanding biden administration take action to protect our border. listen. >> i know firsthand how out of control our border crisis is. south texas communities are hurting because of this crisis and our people feel totally ignored by our government. title 42 is one of the only things keeping the crisis at the border from getting even worse. >> ashley: this texas republican is first mexican born member of congress, she flipped a house seat controlled by democrats for more than a century. flores tells tucker carlson, they are no longer voting in lock step. >> are you loyal to god or the democratic party? i'm loyal to god, stop being a party who has done nothing for over 100 years.

>> ashley: james comer is ranking member of the house oversight committee. great to see you. mayra flores' campaign was about border security. she is a wife of a border agent and is a legal immigrant. is this a trend should be worried about? >> i looked to my left at democrats on the house floor and they were in awe. they have had misconception not securing the border is something hispanic voters in america wanted and what we saw in texas and what mayra flores eloquently stated, they expect border security, as well and expects the government to protect them from crime, fentanyl and human

trafficking. they came here legally and expect everyone else to come legally. this shocked the democrats and this trend will continue. that district was 64% hispanic and won by double digits. >> i want to get your reaction to the president commenting on oil and gas and saying this is putin price hike, when really the fed chair said that not exactly what is going on. what is your reaction to all of that? >> the president is disconnected from reality. a few months ago he and congressional leaders had the oil ceos before the house oversight committee and asked them to pledge to cut production and now he's going on tv demanding they cut prices. if you cut production, prices go up, that is basic supply and demand. joe biden has botched energy policy in america. we have inflation and only way

to combat inflation is to raise interest rates. now americans will see higher rates for mortgages and credit card, they will see higher prices at the gas tank because of bad policies in this administration. >> carley: everything is going in the wrong direction. jennifer grantholm, said the president might use the -- >> i have no idea, simple solution is for the government to get out of the way, quit harassing energy companies and let them do what they can do, produce oil. we can be energy independent in america, we saw that under the trump administration. canceling the keystone pipeline and canceling drilling on federal land, maing it harder to get permits for fracking, this is the wrong policy, this

is what joe biden enacted on day one. he tried to enact green new deal policies. they will not work. americans are seeing that and they are demanding joe biden do something about gas prices. get out of the way and let the american energy sector do what it does best. >> ashley: we're spending a ton of money and now president biden is calling for more money and said to expect a second pandemic, he said we're going to think ahead. issue i think everyone has, this administration has been three steps behind and now they want more money for another pandemic, what is going on here? >> this is just another tip to get more money, only thing chuck schumer, neelz and president biden can comprehend is more government spending when that created inflation. if joe biden wants to prepare for the second pandemic, he

needs to replace dr. fauci, then he sets the stage and proves to congress and to america he's actually serious and sincere about preparing for the next pandemic. we spent too much in the name of covid over the last two years, i hope congress will learn from this mistake in the future and never repeat that mistake again. >> carley: no need to increase spend suggest something you don't hear from a lot of politicians, good to hear. thank you for joining us. turning to this, group of thieves break intoing new york city hall and takes off with $400,000 rolls royse. the car's owner stopped them in their tracks. >> ashley: vice president kamala harris and first lady biden.

group of teens who broke into an $8 million florida mansion. party goers rampaged the home rifling through her belongings and stealing a $1500 champagne, dozens valued at thousands of dollars, $3500 purse along with gucci purse and a football signed by peyton manning. he says the amount of invasion of privacy, no regard for anything, complete violation. i agree with her. homeowner beats thieves at their own game. it is caught on camera. they took the keys to a rolls royce convertible. the homeowner logged into the

tracking device to locate the car in realtime. as the crooks drove toward new jersey in car similar to this one, he activated a kill switch and it stranded the thieves and caused them to abandon the vehicle. car thefts are up 114% in staten island, those thieves are expected in a string of other breakins. protest breaking out in new york city as the city approves biggest rent hikes in a decade. landlord of rent stabilized apartments can charge 3.5% for one-year leases and 5% for three-year leases. good morning. how are rent increases going to impact you? >> i live on a fixed income. good morning, first.

i live on fixed income and talking about the increase could account to $60 more a month in october. when you live on a fixed income, you don't have extra money for that. i could become homeless at 62 years old, possibly 63. >> carley: that is so unfortunate to hear. what are you going to do? >> i don't know. i'm just trying to process the fact it happened and the way that it happened. i don't know what i'm going to do, i'm not at that point yet. i can't work. i live on a fixed income, what. i supposed to do? we kept hearing this was about the mom and pop -- that is why the increase is needed, they couldn't upkeep the maintenance on their buildings.

less than 1% mom and pop own buildings, this is about bigger landlords, corporation landlords, this wasn't about mom and pop, this was giving them higher increase. they got an increase last year 2.5% and you doubled it this year on us? you are looking at seniors and families that will be impacted come october. >> carley: i know what it feels like to have rent raised, you pay more for the same thing, it is unfair. how do you feel about mayor eric adams, he sympathizes is tenants and recognizes this is a big burden issue but he sided with the landlords and said rent is going to go up. >> he disappointing the people that voted for him.

he told us he would protect us, he didn't side with the struggling people of new york, he sided with the big landlords. he's a landlord himself, why would we think differently? he told us it was about mom and pop landlords, no, it wasn't. it was giving more to large corporate landlords. >> carley: if you're a hard-working person, everybody should be able to have a roof over their head. are you noticing it going up? >> just yesterday two people were shot across the street from where i live at. i'm stuck in my building. go back one minute about giving landlords increase. i am in a building where the elevators are out, no way to go down unless i use the stairs. crime is up.

it is ridiculous. yesterday you rolled out transit, sole's transit task force and an officer was already attacked. you told us your plan to fight crime underground, correct? and day one an officer was attacked, see how that works out. >> carley: huge quality of life and safety issues are decaying in new york city. >> new york city is decaying, it is not being looked after and i get that he's only six months in, almost seven, and it does take time to get things rolling, but at what time do you step up and say enough is enough, look at what is going on. you are not doing anything for the people that voted for you.

>> carley: kim, thank you for joining us this morning, i know it means a lot to you. appreciate it. >> carley: the memorial service is set for the two el monte officers who were killed by a gang member thanked to gascon's policies. >> ashley: now another criminal released under george gascon's watch could be sent back to jail for murder, those details are next. with multimatic shocks, rugged 33-inch tires, and front and rear electronic locking differentials. dude, this is awesome... but we should get back to work. ♪ ♪ this good? perfect. if you're gonna work remote... work remote. find new workspaces. find new roads. chevrolet.

>> carley: for the second time in two weeks progressive district attorney gascon's policies are blamed for a killing in los angeles. man serving a life sentence for double murder was released early and is now charged in the murder of a homeless man. the man was freed because george gascon's office declined to transfer his office from juvenile to adult court.

george gascon maintains this decision was the correct one. >> there was nothing about the history of this individual for us to show that it was not eligible for solution back in 2009. >> carley: george gascon special assistant tweeted looters, burn that expletive down. george gascon is facing blame after a gang member was let off easy and killed two police officers. he was charged with being a felon in possession of a gun last year, which should have sent him to prison for three years. judge jeanine pirro has this to say. >> the gooi is an idiot, a career felon. instead of prison time for the

third time, understand it is a difference between prison term and jail term, we're talking time. this guy is a gang banger, career criminal and it is george gascon's fault he killed two cops. i got news for you, they will lie to your face, the progressives and tell you they have to start with social justice nonsense. we've known from the '90'ss, there is one way to keep us safe, put criminals in jail. >> carley: memorial service for the two slain el monte police officers is set for next thursday. one of the officers being promoted from corporal to sergeant. el monte firefighters saluting the fallen and paying tribute to officers who are grieving while on the job. carley, this is not just affecting police officers, we've seen this same situation in new

york city with nypd earlier this year. i'm not sure if people in the areas like los angeles and philly, all the liberal cities, i don't know if people aren't paying attention or they think the da's who are soft on crime are doing a good job. it is not just affecting police, this can happen to anyone, we have spoken to parents and families have who lost children from senseless gun crime. i don't know what it will take for the people to realize, you have to do something different, vote differently. >> carley: if you look at who voted against the recall of chesa boudin, interesting statistic, most of the people who voted against it are white people living in safe communities, it is ideology that doesn't affect them and we've had mothers, the mother of

officer santana, what a raw interview and another member said if gascon's family member were killed he would move heaven and earth to make sure the person was behind bars, but if it is my daughter, he doesn't care. i would love for him to have to face that question and see how he responds to it. >> right. talk about people in safe neighborhoods, it will trickle into the neighborhoods. there are people affected by it. we didn't realize this was go being to affect us. no one is exempt from it. in philadelphia, there was a mother of a victim who was shot and killd and she said this is not about political party and it's not. for anyone making this about political party, it is wrong, it affectss everyone. >> carley: we just had a new

york city resident on the show and i asked about crime in new york, she said, two people were just shot across from me, i can't leave my apartment. they feel the criminal is a victim because we live in a community that isn't fair to people of color and they treat the criminals with kid gloves, what is the greater goal? it is clearly not working, crime is increasing across the country. you have to reverse course and that is not happening. >> ashley: and the police hands are tied with the rules, it is a complete mess and i don't know what it will take to get it cleaned up. americans are dying in record numbers from fentanyl flowing across the southern border. 71,000 deaths last year were due to opioid and fentanyl.

for female athletes in the middle of the debate over transgender competitors? this cyclist grew up before title ix -- good morning, ladies. 50th anniverary of title ix, what is your message this morning? >> it is a real shame. we made so much progress with women's rights and women becoming athletes and getting to participate in society, it is in jeopardy today. what the biden administration is doing is gutting concept of women and sex. if we don't know what a woman is, we can't stand up for women's rights. >> carley: governor whitmer calling women menstruating people, very interesting sound bite.

inga, three-time olympic cyclist, how do you feel about the state of women's sports today? >> yeah, i was one of those children, all i wanted to do was compete and i was told i couldn't compete and title ix came around and we had opportunities to compete. i had the honor of the 1984 oshg oshg -- olympics. the threat of women's sports to allow men into the sport is -- i can't even believe we're having this conversation, thankfully the scientists have been out there, scientific data is there. 13 studies show that there is no amount of testosterone inform

ation -- roll today back and we're working on cycling, they were making progress but it is discouraging. >> carley: the world swimming governing body, said that transgender women can't compete in women's swimming unless they start transition at 12 years old before puberty. how do you feel, do you think that is -- >> i am glad we are having this conversation, but i don't think that goes far enough. we want people to be included and to have opportunities and to be treated fairly, there is a reason why women's sports competitions have rules about who is allowed to compete and reason we've had single sex sports forever and it is because men and women are fundamentally

different when it comes to structure, that does not change, you are born one sex and you can -- decisions you make later, you can't transition away from basic biology. keep women's sports female, it shouldn't be so hard, i'm thrilled there are people coming to speak out. we're having a rally down in washington, d.c., we'll have dozens of female athletes coming out on the issue. there is a lot of hate coming out on this side. there is a lot of people on the left who recognize what is happening now as madness and it is bad for women. >> carley: you know, this issue definitely affects some sports more than others, swimming, cycling, track and field, wrestling, what direction do you think we're going in? >> the problem with the new

ruling is there is still an advantage for just having the y chrome sewn and you have the sry gene on there,testosterone surges in the womb. the problem is, grass-roots level develops our women and in cycling, running, the men are coming in at very young ages and discouraging the women. i've heard mother after mother listening to their daughters cry about why are they competing with boys and it is not fair and that disturbs me. our grass-roots development, we need for next generation of elite women. we women as olympians, as title ix, we have to compete in title

ix, we have to protect the generation behind us coming up. >> carley: good point about the future generation, it feels like this is falling on the shoulders of teenagers to fight, which seems unfair to young people. thank you both for joining us this morning. all right, silence from the president as another pro-life center is attacked and violence is likely just getting started. plus federal government ignoring the crisis at the southern border and republicans want to president to write texas taxpayers a check. >> carley: the fight to uphold the law.
