>> president biden on his way back to the u.s. after finishing up his trip to the middle east with a high stakes meeting to bring down gas prices at home. but the crowned prince bin salman says that they're not committing to more. >> i'm griff jenkins. >> i'm aishah hasnie. we have got coverage at the

white house and peter doocy in saudi arabia. peter, we'll start things off with you. >> and here in saudi arabia, the leaders of telling president biden they can help expand their oil production capacity, but only a little bit. so, if president biden came here thinking he was going to get saudi arabia to increase their oil production capacity so much that it might lower gas prices back at home, he's leaving emptyhanded. >> in this era, announced increase of the level maximum sustainable capacity more than 13 million barrels, beyond that the kingdom will not have any further production capacity. >> so, what this means, they can expand to 13 million barrels a day max, but they're already at 12 million barrels a day capacity. at most they could add the same number barrels a day the president is selling from the strategic reserve and that's

not really lowering prices a ton. so, it's unclear at this point if the president was overselling what he said he squeezed out of the saudis. >> i'm doing all i can to increase the supply for the united states of america, which i expect to happen. the saudis shared that urgency and based on our discussions today i expect we'll see further steps in the coming weeks. >> if the president and the saudi crowned prince are on different pages about increasing oil capacity, the president shouldn't be surprised because the french leader, emmanuel macron told him this was the case two and a half weeks ago. >> mr. president, you predicted it for a while. >> and (inaudible) told me one

-- second, >> president biden had several one-on-one private meetings with gulf leaders who were gathered here in saudi arabia for this summit. but we just found out when they were at the actual summit itself with all the leaders in a room together, oil production specifically wasn't discussed, that is coming from the saudi minister for foreign affairs. >> interesting stuff there, peter, griff. griff: back here at home, questions are circulating what will come next for president biden's build back better agenda with senator joe manchin

refusing to budge on key parts of the spending plan, such as the president's lofty climate goals alexandra hoff kicks it off at the white house. >> and even a scaled-back version of the spending plan could exacerbate inflation. democrats have been working behind the scenes for month trying to revive the mammoth build back better plan and it in effect died without manchin's support last year. and this smaller version with tax increases and smaller climate program and manchin told majority leader chuck schumer, today is not the time. >> i said, chuck, until we see the july inflation figures, until we see the basically federal reserve rate, interest rate, then let's wait until that comes out so we know that we're going down the path that won't be inflammatory to add more to inflation. inflation is absolutely killing

many, many people. >> now, senator manchin did add he would support an act of the plan for prescriptions for seniors, but the president is not giving up on the climate plan of action. >> and i have every effort as president to my pledge to deal with global warming. >> accord to go-- according to the white house, he will not be negotiating publicly with joe manchin. >> we're joined by republican congressman from new york and member of the mouse transportation and infrastructure and foreign affairs committee, and the whip for the conference. congressman, thanks for joining us on this saturday. let's start with the use out of

saudi arabia. mohammed bin salman says the kingdom is not going to be able to pump out more than 13 million barrels a day, we know that's not much more than what it's already pumping out about 10 million a day. peter doocy reminding us, this tracks with what the french president was trying to tell president biden weeks ago. was all of this worth the trip? >> i honestly think it was for show, to try to convince the american people that he's doing something. but the reality is, you really have to scratch your head to think why our president would fly 11,000 miles rund trebil, the carbon emissions by the way that go with it, to beg saudi arabia to produce more oil when you can do it right here in the united states. my colleagues and i all week have been saying visit texas, visit oklahoma, visit new mexico, we can be energy independent and once again be a net exporter like we were under president trump. there is still capacity when you look at the pre-covid

levels in terms of our production and the reasons why we are not, our companies are not investing is because they have an administration that's been so unfriendly, that's canceled the keystone pipeline, that refuses to build the infrastructure, that refuses to give the leases necessary to ramp up production domestically. it is a national security issue and the president should be doing it right here in the united states, not going to individuals all around the world and i will add that, you know, the fist bump i think was offensive to many people, predominantlily those who i represent, the victims of september 11th who have been begging the president to release classified documents that they believe contains information that saudi was linked to the september 11th attacks. so, this is, you know, when the president says he's going to treat someone was a pariah on the campaign trail and turns around and begs them for more

oil, that's a turn-around from the american people. >> and i want to talk about the fist bump so widely criticized even among democrats. let's pull up this from congressman adam schiff. if we ever needed a visual reminder of the continuing grip oil rich autocrats have on u.s. foreign policy in the middle east, we got it today. one fist bump is word a thousand word. for congressman schiff to tweet that, someone who is a close ally of the president, what does that say to you? >> well, it just shows that the criticism is not political, it is a reality. that many members of congress, both republicans and democrats are dismayed by the way that this president has handled foreign policy. i mean, he has, since day one, kowtowed to our adversaries, when you look at russia, giving them nord stream two while canceling our pipeline at home.

reentering the paris accord without india and china a level playing field. going to venezuela to try to get them to produce more oil. lifting flight restrictions to cuba, appeaing another communist regime. one bad foreign policy decision after another. it's not peace through strength, which is what president trump exemplified. it's quite the pop opposite. and gone back to the obama appeasement that puts america last. >> quickly, i want to switch gears to inflation, inflation spiraling out of control. the white house says the consumer price index is actually off, and speaker pelosi felt like she feels that inflation is peaking, about to peak. your colleague, representative elissa slotkin, not really convinced by that, saying that, you know, she's been hearing this for quite some time since last christmas.

does the speaker know something that perhaps you and slotkin don't know? >> again, they are playing smoke and mirrors with the american people, but the american people know that inflation is having a true impact. they're losing the value of their wages. they're seeing it when they go fill up the gas tank, when they buy food for families, when they go to pay their everyday expenses and cost of living. it's caused by the democratic policies, both economic and the energy policies. look, when we don't-- when you don't have energy, what happens. the cost of delivering things goes up, the cost of producing food goes up and that's what we're seeing here. thankfully, we stopped the build back broke agenda and we must be vigilant now that they're trying to bring pieces back again. and senator manchin to stop it. jacqui: we've got to go. thank you for joining us, griff. >> for perspective on the other side of the aisle, we're joined

by the member of the committee, jake ak achincloss, and 9% inflation and it's not getting backer and now you have democrats like joe manchin, he's not on board with more taxes and spending on climate change until he sees essentially inflation come down. your reaction to what's happening with build back better in congress right now. >> thanks for having me on. inflation is still too high. there are glimmers of good news, gas prices have gone down for 30 days in a row. but we clearly need to be addressing areas where we've got strong control domestically to the president and congress.

one is health care, democrats in congress lowered health care premiums for americans the first couple months in office and are working to extend those, as well as empowering medicare. not a single republican in the house or senate wants to join us and my question is why not? >> you raise a good point. joe manchin says i'm not on board with taxes and i'm on board with prescription drug prices. do you think indeed if manchin were willing to narrow things down and leader schumer and speaker pelosi could narrow down just a prescription drug bill you would support that and that would pass? >> it exemplifies that democrats are united that medicare should be able to negotiate drug prices and help

middle class and working class americans to afford health care insurance. health care is the sector that the president and congress has more for costs to americans. and we've seen the leading sector in the principal doe mains. why has not a single republicans joined in the effort for americans? it's a repeat of 2017 attempt to try to repeal the affordable care act and then again during the pandemic trying to kick americans off. >> and the democrats are in the house and senate. they set the table. you mentioned gas prices coming down, 4.50, down from $5, but clearly too high for americans, hitting americans in the pocket book across the country. the president coming back from the saudi arabia trip which has been pretty much the fist bump seen around the world has gotten the most headlines. but do you believe that the president has any take aways? is there anything he's bringing

home, because as you heard in the opening, the saudis are not going to increase oil output. >> the saudis are an important regional player in security. the previous president withdrew the united states from jcpoa alone and without a plan. this president inherited that regional instability going to saudi arabia, he is further integrating israel into better partnerships with its arab neighbors and we've seen that with saudis commitment to allow israeli planes to fly over their air space. that's an important step in normalizing relations and more tight knit defending against iran, both its attempts to acquire nuclear weapons. griff: but, jake. >> it's important for israel. griff: and the fist pump that we saw even the editor of the washington post was appalled by it, and it shows the intimacy

to mbs, and the murder of khashoggi, was killed in the emily and cut up. >> i agree with chairman schiff, i don't want my kids to grow up in a world. but with president trump so sycophantic that two nominees considered it a threat to national security. this president inherited a foreign policy disaster. griff: has he made it better. i understand the past criticism you want to pivot to, but right now, then candidate joe biden said he was going to turn saudi

arabia into pariah. he was asked about it on this trip yesterday and he essentially wouldn't answer because now he clearly doesn't, you know, it would appear consider them is pariah, if he's fist-pumping everybody in the delegation, including the crowned prince himself. >> this president told the american people he's going to do all he can to lower costs and doing so. he's getting no help from the republicans. no help at home and no help on gas prices overseas. and how to handle the russian invasion of ukraine, talking about one of the world's principal exporters of oil, invading one of the principal exporters of food prices and spiked global commodities. griff: we'll talk about that with ukraine's ambassador to the u.s. a little bit later. thanks for coming on.

isn't enough vaccine supply to handle the expect continued rise in infections. >> at this time the demand from vaccines from jurisdictions are higher than our current available supply and we know that this is frustrating. >> there are two vaccines available, there's acam2000, can cause side effects and the other specifically for monkeypox and requires two doses and ordered almost seven million doses and have only received a small fraction. it won't be until mid next year before they all arrive. for now the hardest hit areas will be given priority. we're not in the dark about this, although we must take it seriously because it is, in fact, spreading at a rate that we feel we must address with testing and with vaccinations. >> i really think in the days and weeks ahead, you're going to see vaccine availability become far more widespread. >> the virus has overwhelmingly

jacqui:. aishah: the recall effort continues after the progressive d.a. scrapped the parole unit marking another addition to the soft on crime agenda. christina coleman is live for us from los angeles with the latest on that. >> hi, aishah. the parole or lifer unit with victim's attorneys and advocates who notifies the person who was behind bars, not only so the families can show up to court and counter what the assailant is telling the judge, but when the parole unit goes away at the end of the year, it's up to the families on top of the trauma they're already facing to check with the department of corrections for parole updates. i interviewed l.a. county district attorney ryan ehrlich representing 1,000 d.a.'s. he says 10 to 20% of the union

members, of the d.a., have left because of gascon's defendant-centered policies and worked with many people who lost loved ones to violence and this policy change could lead to them missing parole hearings. >> every single one of them had the additional burden of the obligation to the person who has been lost, just to be their voice in these post conviction proceedings and to miss something like that, to not know about it, not only are you not participating, but more importantly, i think a lot of these victim's families are going to feel like they've let down those victims and i think that's the crushing thing. >> despite swift criticism over the policy change, progressive democrat stands by the move. in a statement his office notes that it is understaffed and the d.a.'s working in the parole unit are needed to prosecute cases and they also said, quote, while a victim has a right to be notified, they have a right not to be contacted.

lawyers in the parole unit have been using paralegals and investigation resource toss contact victims and next of kin who have requested to be notified of hearings. and they're work to go get gascon recalled and kicked out of office. and the random sample, enough were verified to move on to the full check of all signatures admitted for a recall battle. >> griff, or let's go to this. russian rockets continue to rock ukraine as a top official tells its troops to step up originalses in the country. we'll speak to ukraine's ambassador to the united states after the break. age is just a number. and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health. versus 16 grams in ensure high protein.

just all civilians, no military there. and similar the destruction of the universities, a similar to the shooting in other cities. so in addition to other very hard artillery that our armed force having in the east and south, we have the terror throughout ukraine with russia criminal armed forces because we cannot call them anything else, shooting and aiming at residential areas, and central squares of our cities. griff: do you believe that putin is intentionally targeting civilians for murder and is the world paying enough attention to that? >> well, absolutely they intentionally do this. you cannot find any other reason. they intentionally target civilians. they intentionally burn our wheat fields right now, destroying the harvest which is so -- that the farmers are growing and ready to harvest

even, and it's terror they want to destroy ukraine. and the world, i think, has shown unprecedented unity, unlike in 2014, and the support that we're getting, they're very grateful for it, but as it gets prolonged we need to keep the focus and we're asking everyone who shares the same values and everyone who understands that this fight is much bigger than youtube, that we're altogether, democratic countries, have to win there to stay focused to stay supportive and not to lose attention to this very important fight for our independence, but ultimately for democracy. griff: and you talked, madam ambassador, you're grateful for the support, but are you getting the weapons that you need? because i followed closely, obviously, i haven't been there and reported in ukraine, and it appears you've got less than

10hi-- 10 himars, and you need to take the fight to them. how many more do you need? how short are you in the equipment and in the types of weapons you need? >> we're very grateful for everything that we've received so far and everything that we are getting and of course we need more. we're fighting with an enemy, which is much bigger than us. an enemy that doesn't have any red lines. so, we need everything. we need the fire power, we need many more himars and the himar is the most quoted name. and mothers are praying for the weapons, to defend our children. we need much more and longer range and we know the difficulty for finding enough and procuing and getting to ukraine. almost all of us, almost 50 countries that the united states and president biden and

the department of defense put together in this ramstein. >> is president biden and the administration dragging their feet and moving fast enough and giving enough? >> they're moving very fast, i have to tell you, very fast and we have a very good cooperation. we just need more because russia is, as you said, stepping up their terror so we need to step up as well. griff: i want to ask you, ukrainian born member of congress, victoria sparks, criticism, she wants an oversight of u.s. aid given to ukraine, your reaction? >> we are always very supportive of all the measures of transparency and accountability. and we share the information with other partners, and i think from the top, our presidents talk to each other all the time and the minister of defense talking to them, but on the working level, we also cooperate on a daily basis, so if there's a need for more

information or for closer oversight, of course, we're prepared for it and happy to discuss it with our partners, but we have to understand during this 144 days, ukraine has been very responsible and very efficient in the way how we get the weapons into the country, and in the way how we use them. and we use them according to the international laws, and international principles and were never accused of mismanagement there. and also to add, we only have two types of borders around ukraine, a friendly border with all of our allies on the west through which the weapons are coming in and closely monitoring how it's done and the enm i border and that border, we're interested to get to them across the border and you know, implement the weapons as much as we can so the enemy is out from our country. griff: and ambassador markarova, thank you for being here. it's day 144 and we'll continue

>> president biden holding the saudi crowned prince responsible for journalist jamal khashoggi's murder.

fox news sat down with the minister of state for foreign affairs. alex hogan live with the details from jeddah, hey, alex. >> hi, griff. the brutal murder of jamal khashoggi has been the center for groups on president biden's trip. i sat down with saudi's minister of state for foreign affairs pressing him on the kingdom's response and calling the murder a terrible mistake. >> the individuals who committed this crime were tried, they were convicted and jailed, and so what we did, we investigated, we punished and we put in place procedures to ensure that something like this never happens again. any saudi citizen has the right to petition of king or the prince directly and don't need an intermediary and they can express their views and offer

criticism. so we have our own way of dealing with consultation among our citizens and between the government and the people and it has worked for us. >> people who have seen their loved ones jailed for what they call a crackdown on freedom of speech vehemently disagree. callel has not seen his brother or sister in two years. their father, a former saudi senior officially now lives in exiles. >> new motives is punishment in saudi arabia. you hear about other activists who probably have more than 20 individuals and travel bans and every kind of collective restraint saudi governments will try to use to silence people even though it's beyond their borders. >> president biden today met with the leaders of egypt, iraq and the united arab emirates. president biden has since left saudi arabia as the sun sets

here, ending his time in the middle east. griff: alex hogan live for us in jeddah, saudi arabia. aishah: for more on president biden's visit to saudi arabia, we're joined live by former state department official, david, thank you for joining us on this saturday. and i want to start off with the human rights in the kingdom. the president has called this nation a pariah and critical of the human rights issues there, but then we see this fist bump, right, that has reverberated around the world and has gotten a lot of reaction. the publisher of the washington post said that it was worse than a handshake. and the saudis are playing the heck out of this video, so, i want to ask you, if you were there with the president on this trip, would you have tried to make sure that he avoided this moment? >> this trip was born out of

praguetism. president biden has issues with the khashoggi murder and he raised them privately with mbs, but he needed to do this trip for the alliance between the u.s. and saudi arabia and assure that they take serious the request from the u.s. and other countries to increase oil production and take the lead in opec for getting other countries in opec to increase oil production. there was a fist bump. there are awkward moments now during the pandemic and post pandemic when you first greet someone who you haven't met before or haven't seen-- >> david, i understand that, it almost seems like the administration wasn't prepared for this as if they didn't really know if there was going to even be an on camera meeting with mbs. do they have prepared better for this? >> well, not everything can be scripted in a visit like this, right? there's a purpose to this visit, and the president is

trying to strengthen this alliance, and he has to walk a fine line here, he had to condemn, again, the murder of khashoggi which he should have done and did do, but he also needs to greet the saudi leaders properly. a fist bump is less intimate than a handshake. aishah: yeah, i don't know if everyone would agree with that. let's switch to oil. noi there was a diplomacy part of this trip, but then there was also that energy question, everybody had, and the president coming home without a guarantee that gas prices are going down and then we heard mbs saying that saudi is not going to be able to produce much more oil than what it's already producing so in terms of energy, let's put diplomacy to the side. do you think that this trip was a success? >> we'll see in the next coming months whether the opec countries agree to increase oil production. you're right that saudi arabia

can't just magically produce a lot more oil, right, and it's ability to produce oil is based on the investments it's made and infrastructure for drilling oil and exporting oil, and so, it's going to do that over time, over the next few months, and i believe that the saudi arabia will do that and i believe in that sense this is a success, remember, the number one priority. aishah: we've got it. >> of this administration right now is to confront the aggression of russia and invasion of ukraine and need all of our allies-- >> david, we've got to go. i appreciate it, thanks for joining us. new york city's medical examiner determined the cause of former president donald trump's ex-wife cause of death next. how can you see me squinting? i can't! i'm just telling everyone! hey! for a limited time, get 50% off for back to school. visionworks. see the differenc.

>> welcome back. new details are emerging in the death of former president trump's ex-wife, ivana trump, who was found dead in her home. and david has the latest on the report from the medical examiner. >> the new york city medical examiner says that ivana trump's death was an accident caused by blunt impact injuries to the torso. a spokes pen for the m-e says they will not comment further.

ivana trump was the president's first wife. the mother of three of his children, they divorced, but remained close. citing the sources, trump fell down a flight of stairs at her upper east side town house where her body was discovered next to a spilled cup of coffee. people familiar with the moment and its design say that the stairs were treacherous. a friend told the new york post that trump was suffering from hip problems and had trouble walking. the friend says he advised her to see a doctor, but she refused, telling him, quote, i hate going to doctors, i get more sick going to doctors. the day before her death, accord to go another media report, trump paid a visit to a local restaurant and her health seemed normal, but she did appear a little tired. >> the new york attorney general which is investigating donald trump's business practices agreed to postpone the depositions of donald trump, donald trump, jr. and

oh you've never seen stats like this before chuck. the new monster has juicy steak and crispy bacon. dang! but what about the new boss- meatballs covered in marinara covered with fresh mozzarella it looks so good it makes me hangry! did you say hangry?! and pepperoni too! pepperoni? now i'm hangry. the new subway series. what's your pick? >> president biden now head acing home from his trip to the middle east which included a controversial meeting with the saudi crown prince as gas prices here at home remain sky high. welcome, aishah hosne. griff: prince salman saying saudi arabia will not have the capacity.

hey, jacqui. jacqui: hey, there, griff. yesterday president biden said that the saudis really understand the need to bring more oil to market especially amid russia's war in ukraine and he laid out hope for the american people that we might start to see some relief at some point in the not too distant future with announcements coming out soon but the saudi crown prescription really seem today lower those expectations today. >> as it announced increased to more than 13 million barrels, beyond that the kingdom will not have any further production capacity. aishah: right now saudi arabia produces 10.3 million and ratcheting up to 13 million is minimal. saudi officials pushing back after president biden tamping down criticism with the meeting began with fist bump was too

friendly. he stood up for human rights and he believe that he was responsible for jamal khashoggi's death and crown prince said he wasn't and punished those who were and saudi officials are pointing to prisoner abuse in iraq saying that the u.s. has made mistakes of its own. >> this is what they think what president bush did, of course, not, what did the u.s. do to investigate it, punish those responsible and put in place procedures to ensure that it doesn't happen again. >> crown prince reportedly also responded to biden's comments pressing the president on what he's doing to ensure justice for shareen, palestinian american journalist from gunman and also

one final point, effort from the saudis to really pour cold water on what the white house frames a successful trip. they've been saying that the steps toward normalization with israel, opening air space that had been up until now restricted is really not a step toward normalization and not a precursor for cooperation in the future and made for practical reasons and the white house framing this as major success of this trip. the president received plenty of criticism but did insist that he did not compromise on his principles when he was here advocating for national interest but, of course, what he returns to the u.s. with is a little bit unclear, back to you, guys. griff: seems like they are pointing cold water jacqui heinrich. aishah: the president is coming

to record sky high prices hitting americans all across the country. let's bring in our political panel, chief communications director and former obama communications adviser patriots of two nations author and boots road managing partner spencer and, of course, mark latter, failed to mention his name off the top. thank you both. we have a lot to get to. the president coming home to inflation, not getting better. americans are feeling it everywhere. speaker pelosi not too listening ago said inflation she feels has peaked or is peaking and the white house says the cpi numbers are off, not quite right. some people are calling this a spin. here is representative aliyssa, we will have you react on the other side. >> i think people can feel and see spin and i don't think they like it.

salary increases in people's pay is not keeping up with inflation. aaishah: spencer, i will go to you first, do you think this administration can do a better job of owning what's happening in the country? >> i think that the democrats often struggle with being good at policy and not so good at politics and this has been a drawing problem that i identify as going back at least to the 1960's, is the party has becoming increasingly well educated overall which tends to lead to smarter policy which i think the record has shown but does not tend to lead to good politics. i'm not sure anybody actually could do a good job of owning inflation numbers like this. they are just tough politically even though if you look at it as policy, of the 44 advanced economies around the world, 37 of them are struggling with dramatically higher inflation and the united states -- so you can't blame all of this on president biden from a policy point of view. in fact, he has very little

control over it just like president trump had little control. aishah: the white house bring that up in daily briefing and the democrats also bring abortion quite a bit especially in the last couple of weeks on the hill. they are going all in on abortion making the case really that the choices between a nationwide abortion ban or put in democrats and will codify roe v. wade, do you think that's going to work as americans are really struggling just to buy basic goods at the grocery store? >> no, it went work and it's absolutely clear that the democrats would love to do anything to change the subject away from inflation but issue number 1 and 2 and 3 to the american people are inflation, the economy, gas prices, all of these things land at the feet of joe biden and the problem is to the earlier point is that democrats don't have any good answers to it because the only two things in their tool kit are to blame someone else and to

spend more money and spending more money is what got us into this problem in the first place and so they really don't have any answers for it. the american people want answers and so they are just trying to change the subject and it's not going to work. aishah: spencer, i want you to respond to that but i want you to respond in the context of this really interesting shift that we are seeing among voters. axxios was looking at "the new york times" poll just released weeks ago, democrats are becoming the party of upscale voters concerned issues like gun control and abortion rights while republicans are quietly building a multiracial coalition of working-class voters with inflation as an accelerant. spencer, what do you see happening here? >> i think that there are big problems for both parties and frankly i think the overwriting problem is the problem facing the country and this is what i go into in detail in my book if you don't mind me mentioning it. we have a very serious division

in the country that's not left versus right in traditional terms, the traditional efforts are right division, essentially the size of the government and democracy is almost irrelevant on what we are comparing now and we are facing deep fight of what the definition is. the number one issue in our politics therefore have to be do we want to defend democracy that we've had so far. as far as economic performance goes, example how democrats have been stuck in their head in my view and alienated because of that and one example is they do bad job of selling the fact that economic performance under democratic president has always been better and yet you cannot convince many people that convince the republicans are better, broad spectrum, economic growth that it's better on democrats. it's tough now but no simple answer to that as much as we

want one. like i said, it's not cause bid biden spending and has marginal -- sweeping the advanced world. aishah: what can you do to win young voters and hispanic voters, what can democrats do better? >> i talked on my podcast with my good friend mike madrid who is republican consultant specializing in latino voting. i think that's a big warning call for democrats. warning call to republicans is that their extremism on abortion and on guns and on frankly the attempted overthrow of democracy is scaring away college educated white voters and suburban white voters that democrats used to be weak on and fundamentally is fight over what the nation is overall. aishah: you have january 6th

prime time hearing next week, i have to ask you how much do these hearings hurt the former president and do you think that he announces a run for the white house before the midterms? >> well, i don't see it having much of an effect right now. most of the american people, it's not registering with them. it's not coming up as some of the top issues in the midterms and what the president and the former president will do now and november, the one thing i can tell you is that they are going to be talking about america first policies and it's one of the reasons why democrats are bleeding voters so quickly it's because it's not about politics, it's about reality, just look at reality, people were better off, america was safer, it was stronger, people had more money in their paychecks, gas was cheap under president trump and america first leadership and later this month in about a week and a half the president will be coming to washington, d.c. to the america first policy institute summit to outline the vision moving forward for 2022 and beyond and it'll be about getting back to those america

first policies that worked. and i think that's where we are going to win back a lot of those voters because they can see it. democrat policies are failing at every single level in every single issue. aishah: you're saying you don't know when the former president is going to announce? >> i don't. whoever announces and whoever win it is nomination will be running on america first policies. aishah: thanks so much to you both. we appreciate it. come back soon. griff: if he's going to announce, he can do it to this show any time you want to come on. meanwhile the cdc saying there are 1800 confirmed cases of monkey pox in the united states and with that number likely to grow frustration is building as demand for the vaccine outpaces supply. lauren blanchard live with the latest, hi, lauren. lauren: hi, griff, more than 1800 cases, less than two months ago, almost one, now almost all states have one confirmed state. check out the map. new york has been hit the hardest with 50 cases, cdc,

from the country they came from and most coming from venezuela, colombia. 207,000 encounters at the border down slightly from record high of 239,000 in may but that brings year's total to 1,746,000 migrant encounters at the southern border so far this fiscal year eclipsing last year's record total of 1,734,000 and there are still 3 months left in the fiscal year of 2022, so we are set to potentially shatter last year's record. also in june border patrol arrested 6 people on the fbi's terror watch list. that brings this year's total to 56 fbi watch list arrests which is more than the previous five years combined and this week 7 republican senators came down here to the u.s. border to tour the situation, that delegation is calling on the biden administration to this border also saying that the crisis at the border is taking its toll on

law enforcement. >> so they're being treated more like hotel check-in staff than they are actually like law enforcement. it's wearing. so not just wearing on them but on the nation. >> in the rio grande valley border patrols 1,165 encounters in just the past 24 hours. 350,000 year to date which is up 113% compared to this time last year. aishah. aishah: matt, thank you so much. griff. griff: aishah and matt, for more on the crisis let's bring in arizona governor and running to represent arizona in the u.s. senate. thank you for taking time, as you heard from matt's reporting, these numbers june more than 207,000, the fourth straight month over 200,000 and already the fiscal year to date

1,000,746, you can see on our screen there eclipsing the entirety of last year, last year was the most ever on record. another number that was getting a little less attention mr. attorney general was there were six people that had tsb, terrorist screening database bringing the total number to this fiscal year to 56, what do you make of these numbers? >> well, griff, thank you for having me on. these are eye-popping numbers and let me put them in context. just the june numbers, it's the entire population of orlando florida illegally entering our country in one month and the numbers 1.7 million people, that's like the entire population of phoenix just this fiscal year that's come over but more troubling the number that you alluded regarding the terror database. these are the people that we know about. if i told you that 3 times the amount of terrorists that

participated in 911 that biden administration allow today come over in the united states in just one year, wouldn't you be outraged or shocked and let me ask you three times the amount of terrorists involved in 911 and murdered americans have come over just this year. do you feel less safe or more safe. the reality is not only the cartels seizing control but people don't like america, people that mean us ill and people that want to kill americans are literally infiltrating our country right now and this country is a less place because of joe biden and the failures of people like secretary mayorkas. griff: mr. attorney general, i have covered the border extensively and one of the things that shocks me between my coverage last year which was unprecedented year on record to what we are in now which is completely inchartered territory, you are seeing not just an increase in terrorists but an increase in gang members. the rio grande valley sector media affairs put out a press

release thursday afternoon that i have not seen reported on a single channel or written up anywhere in newspapers and it was a simple weekly occurrence in this case 12 gang members, 9ms13 and two 18 straight and one from mexico local gangs, in one sector you're talking about apprehension of 12 gang members. >> i was a gang prosecutor and i stood toe to toe with gang members. when we see the numbers and see these people, you have to realize that people are going to get hurt. people are dying. you have record amount of fentanyl coming into the country that's killing sons and daughters, friends and neighbors and at the same time dangerous people, killers, rapists are being allow today enter the country and one of the lawsuits we had against the biden administration was trying to stop him from not deporting people, deportation orders.

so you have people being released from jails and prisons that the biden administration are refusing to deport that are being released into the communities. john f. kennedy promised to put a man on a moon in a decade and joe biden his administration is putting a felon in everyone's neighborhood by the end of this year. griff: mr. attorney general, i want to ask you, you just visited washington this week and among other things you were talking about the declaration of an invasion at our border. >> yeah, i've been working with people in the congressional border caucus including like representative errington of texas, people in border states like arizona and texas understand that what is happening right now is illegal, it's immoral and does constitute an invasion. we know we talk about the more than 3 million people that have illegally entered the country but at the same time we are having hundreds of thousands of got aways, these are people that we don't know what they're coming for but predominantly younger males often dressed in

camouflage, all black clothes trying to evade border patrol. we know that the biden administration is letting them in with no hassle. they want to get asylum. we have hundreds of thousands of people that are coming in that mean us ill that we don't even know who they are. it does constitute an invasion because the gangs are seized operational control of our southern border. >> will your governor doug ducey support that? >> i don't know, we have an excellent opinion, we think the law is on our side and up to the governor or even the legislature to declare what is happening an invasion because, remember, the states credited the federal government, the federal government did not create the states. this is not federalism. if joe biden won't do the job, then we have to. griff: attorney general mark bernovich, we will follow closely. aishah. aishah: former university lea

road blocks for president biden's spending plan as the country struggles with rising inflation and soaring prices. joining us now to weigh in catalyst pig.com founder jonathan honeck, jonathan, thank you for taking the time. joe manchin is one democrat that says hold on, you show me decreasing inflation and then i will get on board with more tax increases with more climate change legislation but for right now, hold on there. why are not more democrats sounding that -- that same rhetoric. >> griff, they are ignoring and it's government spending and expansion of the money supply that's caused the inflation and it is reckoning the economy, don't take my estimation, even jp morgan jamie dimon citing

economy and americans are hurt, they are being hurt by the inflation and being hurt by the economy. in fact, 65% say that we are already in a recession and now 60% report that they are living paycheck to paycheck, whether or not the federal government, whether or not the democrats want to admit it inflation is having impact on everyday americans. griff: let's show the number that we have been showing, 9.1% when president biden was inaugurated it was at 1.4%. eggs up 23%, butter 23%, gasoline up 59% and airfares up 34%. pretty much, jonathan, anything that you can put your wallet out and pay for is up. >> yeah, that's the hidden cost of inflation, griff, it isn't that we are paying more but investing less. the economy runs on production and not consumptions and americans are eating into their savings and piling on credit

card debt and what's frustrating that the federal government at least not yet isn't doing anything yet to address inflation. my fear is not that we are going to have a stock market collapse, one of the worst stock markets but flat economy, the period of great carter era incision flay inflation, theold saying is true tooth paste, once out of the bottle it's difficult to get it back in. griff: it does not go back into the tube. you talk about fears, though, jonathan. i think the conversations so many americans are having at the dinner table right now which is are we or are we not in a recession? jonathan: the majority of them think that we are. 65% despite that washington hasn't declared a recession, they are feeling it. griff, there are some slight

indicators that perhaps some hope, some of the commodity prices have started to come down, oil and gas and even grain markets and record-low consumer confidence number ironically tends to be kind of a buying signal because of contrarian indicator people are so negative. longer-term, no indication that any of the elements that government needs to do to address inflation have been addressed, in fact, they are piling on more spending, more controls that's moving the country exactly in the opposite direction. griff: obviously from a political standpoint and we are here in washington where all things are viewed through a political prisms but if the administration were willing to declare a recession, would that help perhaps in terms of turning things around? >> the only thing that will help is i honestly griff to take a page from jimmy carter, jimtemy, carter didn't end the inflation in the 1970's single handily, deregulation, cutting some taxes moved the country into the

recollection that set ronald reagan for a boom. it's a declaration. what government needs to do is counter all the spending and artificial money supply that created recession in the first place and created inflation in the first place. they are not doing that and for now it doesn't look like biden and the democrats are doing now. griff: should they go back to the drawing table for build back better and this is what the democrats and administration tried so long to hold onto to push and now as you saw from the intro, joe manchin is going to continue to be the road block, perhaps they should go back and come up with a build back smaller. jonathan: that's what's frustrating. all the money that government spends, where does it come from? it's taken out of the private economy, it's taken out of viewers' paychecks and savings accounts and investment account so all the money that goes to washington doesn't create anything, it's destructive and creating malinvestment.

that's where values and wealth comes from and not from government spending but from the private economy. that's the direction the country needs to be going in and unfortunately as we said biden is going just the opposite way. griff: well, perhaps the administration should fly the capitalist pig.com founder to washington to sit down and eloquently explain how this all works because americans are feeling pain at the pump and at the grocery store and everywhere in between. jonathan hoenig, always good to talk to you. aishah. aishah: 21-vehicle pileup killing at least 6 people and injuring others after a huge dust storm blew through southern montana on friday. check this out. authorities say the series of collusions resulted from a surge of winds that appeared out of nowhere and cost, quote, near blackout conditions for drivers. wow. the national weather service says the skies were relatively

>> just absolute joy because i've worked on this project for many years and there were many years that things could have gone wrong and to see not only is this mission and telescope working, they are working far better than we had predicted so this is just incredibly fulfilling. aishah: yeah, marsha, talk about the details that we are getting from this telescope because i was reading that it cannot only show us more about the planets but also including the atmosphere. we can get -- gather a lot more information about the atmosphere of some of the planets that we are looking at. >> yes, that's one of the great things that webb is going to be able to do. it can actually take data and analyze what is in the atmosphere of a planet orbiting another star and i hope that we find a star whose atmosphere's

is very much like earth's, it's not the same as finding life but it would be pretty exciting. aishah: would that be the highlight of your career? >> that and also in the deep-field image if i could cover the galaxies to form after the big bang. those two projects would do it for me. aishah: that would be really, really incredible. you know, marsha there are always critics out there that when something great in space happens or we send people up for space tourism, they look at the investments and they shake their heads, well, that's a lot of money down the drain and we could have been spending on something else but this wasn't just a nasa project. you were telling me that this is a collective project involving a lot of different groups. tell me why this was so important to get done? >> one thing is that this particular project is the only way to make these kinds of

measurements. but i think right now when the world is beset by so many problems, having something that can show us where we stand in the universe and how expansive the universe is and what we can learn about it it gives us some hope and this project involved people from 14 countries and nearly all 50 states in the united states and i think it is just truly amazing that these many different places and people could come together and make this happen and show the rest of the world how people can work together to make something really astounding come together. aishah: marsha, i have to ask you, someone who is such an expert in space, what do you want to see happen next? what do you want the u.s. -- where do you want the u.s. to go next when it comes to space? >> oh, there's several different forks in the road here. it would, of course, be fun to

see someone walk around in the planet mars but i also -- also want to keep us moving forward in investigating what's out there in the universe. there's still lots to learn. aishah: and maybe even finding life somewhere else. it has to be out there. >> it's got to be out there. it's not going to be easy to find but it would be remarkable if we did. aishah: we are getting closer it looks like. marsha, thank you so much for joining us, we really appreciated it. meanwhile nasa top ranking official is warning that china could have plans to essentially overtake the moon, yeah, they want to take it over during recent interview with newspaper, bill nelson, we are concerned that china is landing in the moon and saying it's ours now and you stay out, well, chinese officials have denied these claims but it is curious because not a lot of folks have been paying attention to the story.

administrator for nasa bill nelson pointed out, china has a history of theft particularly technology theft and they see nelson sees that china is trying to get every advantage it can to essentially steal the moon which is not for the taking. you cannot do that, china. although i don't know how much attention this is going to get. aishah: always important to pay attention to what china is doing and why it's doing it. griff: not a member country part of the international space station. perhaps that's part of why we are dealing with that. i don't know. aishah: there you go. that's all for us this hour, fox news live with eric and arthel. i'm aishah hosne. griff: i'm griff jenkins, next time i will have the shark and surfing video. eric and arthel are coming up next. ♪ ♪ ♪
