that prompted the white house to go into a spin overdrive like this. >> you would be amazed if they would declare this period to be a recession, even if two quarters of negative growth. we have a strong labor market and we are creating one of those

jobs that is not a recession. >> i think probably. there is so much out of our control to read what inflation is being a global problem. >> brian: in fact, the gas prices coming down in the summer is extraordinarily rare. that is not something we see very often pure they follow every single day since started. that is progress but not enough and we need to keep working on this. >> we begin with gillian turner reporting live from the white house, good morning. >> good morning to you julie and bill. we did not see him at all over the weekend and we will not see him in person before wednesday. his position wrote in the letter, this just in and we will hear direct from the white house the covid coordinator this afternoon and we will get some more information from you then. now all eyes are on this, the gdp report mention a moment ago, the white house getting ahead of what may be a second

consecutive quarter of negative growth. >> we have global challenges in the short term. we have to navigate our way through them but we have to do so without giving up all of the economic gains. that will be our focus, and we need to train that focus on that rather than technical debates about the data. >> economists anticipating knowledge of a recession should definitely not hold their breath. take a listen to janet yellen. >> this is not an economy and recession, but we are in periods of transition in which growth is slowing. and that is necessary and appropriate. a recession is a broad-based contraption to the many sectors of the economy. we just don't have that. >> that is not all. the council economic advisor pete appears to redefining to constitute what a recession is

on their blog. while some maintain a fallen gdp constitutes a recession, that is new and the economists evaluate the state of the business cycle. this just in moments ago, the white house tells us >> he is going above and beyond the cdc guidance for the isolation period itself. >> bill: want to bring in our panel. former rnc coms director and a couple whoopers in there. inflation out of our control. you go after regulation and taxes, different argument. larry summers is back at it again. over the weekend here he is. >> i think there is a vee high likelihood of recession when we've been in this kind of situation before recession has essentially always followed

when it nrain has been high and unemployment has been low. soft landings represent a kind of triumph of hope over experience. i think we're very unlikely to see one. >> bill: doug and harold you are both economists, okay? doug, how do we read it? >> there is no good news we're seeing. every bit of economic news that we see is bad. what the white house wants to highlight is gas prices are down over the summer, which is true. but it is not true if you look at it from the day joe biden was sworn in. the analogy i would use, using myself as an example was a week and a half ago i was in missouri for several days and i ate bris kit and ribs and gained eight pounds. lost four pounds since then. i can't highlight the four pounds i lost. i was up eight pounds it is

nice to point out people are seeing gas prices come down but they know where they were and they're feeling real pain. >> harold, what about it? >> i hope doug loses the additional four, the remaining four. i think you have to look at news -- economic news in reality. i'm one that calls balls and strikes on this administration when they have not done things more proper actively around energy, around supply chain updates and things we're doing to try to relieve the consumer. i think secretary yellen, she is right when she says we created 400,000 jobs in the last month and over the last few months a few hundred thousand jobs each month that contradicts broad based contraction. a lot of politicians lost a lot of races telling the public you are doing better than you think. what the white house has to focus on if the numbers come out and suggest a second

quarter of contraction or declining gdp numbers is to demon

>> it's one election at a time. as we sit today democrats oh in. >> *f >> bill: quit joe quit. biden

>> julie: fox news alert on a shocking story out of new york. a bishop in brooklyn robbed at gun point during a livestream of a church sermon. >> yo, all right, all right, all right. all right. all right. >> julie: video obtained by the "new york post." the video shows three men dressed in black, masked and armed as they bargeed on stage, then tackled the bishop to the ground. police say the suspect took over with $400,000 worth of jewelry and they are still at large. >> bill: small community near raleigh, north carolina after the entire police force, including the police chief walked out. they all quit. charles watson has the reason now live in atlanta.

good morning to you. >> good morning, bill. as you can imagine this comes as a shock for folks who live in this small town of just about 2,000 people. their entire police force all gone in a single day. the kenley police chief who resigned with four officers laid the blame squarely on the shoulders of the newly-hired town manager justine jones. in the last three years we have made substantial progress. i had hoped to continue. however, due to the hostile work environment now present in the town of kenley, i don't believe progress is possible. two town clerks also resigned. specific details of what caused the mass ex dues are unclear. whatever the case, the news has sent shock waves through the small town and the questions of who should stay and who should go. >> sounds like trouble and she needs to go.

>> the town manager knows we support her. she is only here a couple of months. >> jones was hired from a group of 30 candidates has only been on the job for seven weeks. she and the town council members had little to say about the resignation following an emergency closed session on friday. the town's mayor did insure folks who live there that law enforcement protection would be provided by the county and we spoke to a shop owner who says that's not good enough. >> the county response is anywhere from 30 to 6 minutes at some points so having a police force especially owning a pharmacy and not having police presence for 30 to 40 minutes is quite shocking and alarming. >> and again, bill, we don't know of any specific reasons or incidents that caused these officers or those other town employees to quick. we have reached out to the town to get more details about what exactly happened. we have not heard back yet. >> bill: thank you.

important story there. we'll watch it. charles watson. julie. >> julie: our next guest says the quick guilty verdict of the man on trial for the murder of a retired st. louis police officer during the george floyd riots in 2020 may be a sign people have had it with woke policies. in a fox news poll op-ed paul morrow, a retired nypd inspector writes dorn murder conviction signals citizens fed up with crime. he joins us now. steve cannon had been arrested multiple times on robbery and assault charges. yet he was out an parole the day of the murder. why wasn't he jailed on his probation violation? >> that's a good question and not entirely clear and very much part of the story. part of that process of keeping somebody like mr. cannon in jail is that the prosecutors' office has to show up in court and ask for it. according to the reporting, it

is vague. he did violate his probation and he should have been in on the night that he ultimately killed captain dorn. >> julie: let's talk about why he was on the street. two names. kim gardner, the lead prosecutor for the city of st. louis. she is no stranger and one of many in the country, no stranger to reckless decisions here. in fact, in the past she actually petitioned the judge to recuse her from this case and she wanted to appoint a special prosecutor. why was she trying to avoid trying this case in the first place? >> you ask the right question. the viewers may be familiar with her. the prosecutor he went forward so strongly on the mccloskey case, the two individuals, the couple on the two of them on the lawn when there were demonstrators holding their guns. they had the book thrown at them and had a plea. the instance that you are talking about here for whatever reason and what was likely the biggest case of her career, her

office made the contention in court that they were quote, unquote, over burdened to try a case for a career african-american law enforcement officer killed trying to defend a store front. >> julie: i want to go back to the story that gardner basically insisted on charging mark and patricia mccloskey. they were standing on their own front lawn brandishing legal handguns on their property in response to blm marchers who were trespassing. the judge barred her from the case and the lead detective refused to sign as you remember those papers to charge this couple. how does she still have a job? and what is this rapid verdict say about the people set up with these type of woke policies? >> i may be seeing a silver lining here but i believe you

are starting to see real since of the public pushing back and waking up to what's going on. you have san francisco baou dean is out. gascon will undergo a referendum and a good chance he will be recalled. they don't have that provision in missouri. kim gardner's job is safe for now but the fact that the verdict came in so quickly. this wasn't a slam dunk as i outline on the piece up on foxnews.com right now. this was a case that really i actually thought they might end up with a hung jury. instead three hours guilty all counts. anybody who tried a homicide case knows that there is a message embedded in that. >> julie: gascon, in fact, is essentially responsible for the deaths of two police officers because the man who was charged with their murders should have actually been in jail for three years but instead free on the streets. i want to move on to a new editorial from the "wall street

journal" suggesting biden's new safer america plan is what they are calling it is all talk and no action and is quote, mostly about political damage control. following two years of democrat pushing to defund police, far left prosecutors like the ones we just spoke of pushing for less jail time rather than more. what do you make of this headline? it reads joe biden's political swat time white house does damage control on crime amid growing lawlessness. are they right? >> it's a very different tune from what they were singing about two months ago. a lot has been written about this initiative already. i would make two points if i might that i haven't seen elsewhere. first of all, federal money never comes without strings, okay? federal government generally uses these kinds of grants to try to configure policy on the ground. you don't have to take my word for it. a quote from then candidate joe biden on the campaign trail in 2020. i don't support defunding the police. i support conditioning federal aid to police based on whether

or not they meet certain basic standards. he said that. so i don't think it's a reach to think someplace embedded in this likely will be the kind of things the federal government wants to happen on the ground. there is good news. that is that in this release they put out, they talk about task forces, gun task forces. that's the metric right there. if they set those up in the same way they set up the joint terrorist task forces after 9/11 and put federal, state and locals together making federal cases gets you out of the prosecutors we're talking to here you'll see something. if they are doing that, this is real. >> julie: that's all the time we have. paul morrow, thank you very much. interesting article. got to read his op-ed. thank you so much, paul. >> thank you. >> this isn't the first time paul has done this and not he is buying stocks. he is buying calls and options and puts. >> bill: house minority leader

interactions throughout the summer. you don't see that every day, bill. >> over the course of your career has your husband ever made a stock purchase or sale based on information received from you? >> no, absolutely not. okay. >> julie: that's house speaker nancy pelosi denying her husband ever bought or sold stocks using information she knew. this as the push to ban congressional stock trading remains stalled. hillary vaughn is live on capitol hill with more this morning. thank you, hillary. >> good morning. the senate is set to vote on a bill to give $52 billion in subsidies to the u.s. chip making industry. a big win for them but also speaker pelosi's husband paul who made a million dollar investment in the chip industry. if this passes it could make mr. pelosi a lot of money. paul pelosi disclosed a million dollar stock purchase of a chip

maker in june. the timing before the legislation gets passed is getting some backlash. lawmakers are pushing to ban members of congress and their spouses while in office. bipartisan support from unlikely places like alexandria ocasio-cortez and senator josh hawley who both support the idea but still that bill is sitting stalled in the house. >> one person that controls the whole house can determine what bill comes out of committee, what bills comes to the floor is the speaker of the house. and paul pelosi and nancy pelosi made $5 million the last time this happened. >> the spoke persons said the speaker does not own any stocks personally and has no prior knowledge of involvement in any transactions. but what some lawmakers say whether or not she is making these trades or knows about them is not the point. she still stands to profit from

what her husband is buying and selling and since he made this big bet, julie, the stock has ridden by 10%. he could have already made over half a million dollars. >> bill: charlie gasparino with me here from fox business. good morning. on the smell meter, what does it smell like? >> it is horrible. listen, insider trading is not easy to prove. it has to be material, non-public information that's stolen. you have to have that misappropriation thing and you need to steal it either from a company like its earnings or the american people via legislation that no one knows about. secret briefings, whatever, stuff his wife would be privy to obviously. the problem is some of this stuff is bouncing around. his timing the impeccable. i went back and looked at it. there is talk about this chips act to give money for the chip

makers going back six to eight months. when he bought it was exactly the time when it looked like there was bipartisan buy-in on this. the trade was very advantageous. i don't think it is insider trading. there have been cases though, we should point out, of pillow talk insider trading cases. famous analyst on wall street gave insider tips to his porn star girlfriend and she got caught. i've seen it several times. >> bill: funny how you remember that story, right, charlie? let me show our viewers a couple of things. first of all, some options he put down on tesla. this was december of 2020. so you can make the case the information was out there, biden was pushing for green energy. >> democrats controlled the house and senate. >> bill: election was over. the deal that hillary just

mentioned. you have the competes act, the chips act floating around. if it passes you are giving this industry more than $50 billion, okay? >> it was pretty good odds. >> bill: the thing that riddles me a little bit. microsoft 2 to 10 million. what i did not realize is the u.s. military, the pentagon was negotiating with microsoft at the time and had a contract. >> you don't know -- i have to go back and check that. i bet there were stories about this out there and he is in silicon valley. >> bill: it could have been in the "wall street journal." >> on the internet. the legislative stuff is much harder to prove than the other stuff. a company keeps its earnings reports very private. legislation is always bouncing around and why richard b*ur of north carolina didn't get charged by the justice department for trading stocks after he received a pandemic

briefing. >> bill: because it is not illegal. >> no. >> bill: the lawmakers have always been asked. >> it was illegal if he had inside information but people were talking about the pandemic way before it happened, right? donald trump was pressed on it in january. he could say, what he did, i got this from the internet. i saw it on fox business. a real debate about the pandemic and whether you have to lock down. i got scared and sold. the legislative stuff is difficult. the real question is do we stop the sleaze? they clearly have an information edge. no doubt. tell me nancy pelosi isn't speaking about stuff with paul pelosi. the guy is 80 years old. he is 80 years old and worth much more than $100 million. that's the estimated number and gambling with stockstill. if you are that obsessed with stocks you are asking your wife what's going on.

my humble opinion. >> you right they is trading large with the wealth of hypocrisy. it looks scummy. they're in position of influence with access to information unavailable to most americans no shame taking millions while nancy pelosi talks about the sins of capitalism. there should be a law against that. there is a push to do that. it hasn't happened. >> i'm of two minds. it is legal, you should do it. the other half they have an information edge and the public looks at this and says this is disgusting. how come they are getting the benefit and i don't? by the way, it drives me crazy about paul pelosi. he doesn't have to do this. why is he doing it? he is rich already. >> bill: my dad told me in fourth grade said it is never enough, billy. even for the billionaires, it is never enough. last word. >> i used to see my father

sounding the alarm on china saying beijing is ramping up its military aggression even harassing american aircraft. let's bring in general jack keane. great to see you. mark milley says not only has china's military become more aggressive, china is conducting dangerous intercepts against american military aircraft and also ships among other allied nations. just how dangerous if you could tell us is china. >> certainly china is the most rapid growing military in the world today in the pacific region due to decline in budgets during obama administration our military deterrence have eroded and the chinese have an advantage. what milley is talking about, the chairman of joint chiefs, is the fact that under president xi now 10 years under his control, the aggressiveness of china as it pertains to taiwan and taiwan's allies in

the region, united states, japan, australia, has increased significantly. so much so it is much more than just harassment. and coercion, which is what it started out to be to try to get taiwan to buckle and voluntarily become a part of china. that has failed miserably. but it is also practice and rehearsal. that's what has the chairman concerned. the scale of these exercises, julie, have increased rather dramatically, which is the drumbeat closer to war. that's what his concern is. >> julie: here is what he said to reporters yesterday. i want your reaction on that. he says the number of chinese intercepts at sea and in the air has increased significantly over five years. the message is, the chinese military have become significantly more and noticeably more aggressive in this particular region. my question to you is whether president biden's policies are actually able to keep china at

bay militarily. >> well, there are a couple of things the administration has done that's very good. they took what trump was doing and strengthening the allies and partners, particularity the quad alliance, japan, australia, united states and india and strengthed that and had meetings associated with that. exercise and working together has taken place as a result and also strengthened the relationship with other allies and partners in the region and much of his visit out there is just literally about that. he will meet with all the chiefs of the military in that entire region in sydney, australia later this week. that's a good thing. what we haven't done rapidly enough in my mind is actually strengthen the position of taiwan and also in the region. when it pertains to u.s. capability. and what the concern is here is that president xi, who will be enshrined in the fall of this year for a third term likely

indefinitely, i believe the clock may be moving closer to aggressive military action against taiwan as opposed to being later. why is that? one, because he knows, julie, he has a military advantage right now. and eventually that military advantage will be closed by the united states. two, he has some economic setbacks now but they're due to get worse. so i think we're getting into a much more dangerous moment. >> julie: i want to switch gears for a second and touch on ukraine/russia. sunday national security council coordinator john kirby is the u.s. is considering the possibility of providing fighter jets to ukraine. they wanted that since day one and united states was reluctant to do that. does it give ukraine a military edge over russia? remember originally when the united states was asked to assist we didn't because we didn't want to provoke russia. do we no longer care about provoking russia? what has changed?

>> you put your finger right on it. this is something we should have done from the outset the first time they asked for it. they knew full well that the migs they were flying to russia's, made in russia, knee are going to take casualties, which they have and they were forecasting that and said we'll need back-ups. initially they wanted the migs from other countries and we wouldn't help with that. and now finally we made this decision, yes, it does send a message that the biden administration is not as spooked as they were about provoking russia. but it will take months for this to become a reality. we have to train them on different airplanes and for our pilots that takes a couple of months to transition. likely for theirs three or four months. it is a good decision, julie, it is coming a little late. >> julie: you could say that again. general jack keane. great to see you. thank you very much. >> bill: thank you, guys.

released by the nypd. the 39-year-old trying to get out of the way as the car speeds toward him. he wasn't in the area very long before he was hit crossing the street in the bronx saturday morning. we saw the video before the car smashes into him. it sends the victim flying into the air. when the car stops you can see at least one man run up and rob him. moments later another guy is out of the car there, too. reach in the man's pockets as he is laying on the ground after being hit and steal whatever valuables they could find. police are looking for, a closer look at what investigators say the people look like and the black car involved in the crash. this all comes as major crime in new york city is up more than 37% just over last year according to the nypd. the department also says robbery is up nearly 40% compared to last year. we talked with a criminal justice professor about the ongoing crime spike in new york city. he tells me we're near the peak

of summer crime and does not expect things to get better overnight. listen. >> we're in the midst of summer. it's a hot summer. it will be a hot summer and i would expect these numbers to be bad for a while. >> as the man is treated for his injuries, no arrests have yet been made in this case. we'll keep an eye on it. >> julie: thank you. >> bill: so meanwhile we have new footage from the u.s./mexico border over the weekend. a steady stream of migrants wading through the ryo grand in broad daylight on their way to the border. just another day. ohio republican mike turner just came back from a trip to the border. first steve harrigan live in eagle pass, texas, beginning a new week. steve, good morning. >> good morning. the crossings behind me have already begun this morning with people carrying their items in plastic bags to keep them dry. the fox news drone team has been in action, too, seven days a week capturing crossings live from above. yesterday morning a group of

100 people crossed illegally into the u.s. from mexico. they crossed the rio grande, scrambled up an embankment of 30 feet where national guard members were waiting. both sides know what is going on. to attempts to evade. more migrants from venezuela asking for political asylum. a similar scene a few miles away. one of the larger groups. 200 strong, men, women and children. many in the group needed urgent medical aid after a very difficult trip so ambulances were there and local officials in texas say the constant stream of migrants is placing a real strain on local resources. and some lawmakers say the communities are simply being overwhelmed. >> you have an invasion, we're under siege and state leaders have to stip and stop it because this president will not. and he has demonstrated that and committed to it.

>> later this afternoon we expect to see nine republican lawmakers right here in eagle pass to see the situation for themselves. bill, back to you. >> bill: want to bring in one of those lawmakers there this weekend. mike turner, ranking republican on the intel committee. thank you for doing our program and good morning to you. what did you see and what did you find? >> bill, just last week the director of homeland security declared that the border was secure. so three of us from the intelligence committee went down to the border. met with the f.b.i., d.e.a., texas public security department and we can tell you not only is the border not secure, the director is lying, but it remains a significant national threat to our country. we saw evidence and spoke to the officers there about the unbelievable amount of criminal activity. drugs being smuggled. humans being smulgd. people crossing the border, many coming across the border are not even from the western

hemisphere. people flying into mexico and making it to our border and across the border. it represents a national security threat. >> flying into monterey and hopping a ride that takes a couple of hours and they make their move. it's been going on for so long. do you believe if republicans take the house, senate or both in november that this changes? or do you believe as long as joe biden is president in the white house that this will continue? >> well, it certainly will make it difficult. another thing we learned not only did the border patrol agents say that the border wall works, but that when the administration stopped the wall, there are huge gaps from where the wall was being constructed an even former area where there was fencing being repaired they stopped the repairs. congress can assert itself on funding for the wall and on funding to protect the border. give the border patrol agents what they need, increased technology and increased

funding. absolutely this is a policy that ends up at the white house and the fact that the president is failing to secure the border while at the same time declaring the american public that the border is secure is something that we're going to be fighting against. >> bill: you are saying, though, there is no end to this. >> i think clearly we need a change in the white house ultimately to effect all of the policies that are necessary. we certainly saw that out of the trump administration at the beginning of the construction of the wall. the remain in mexico policy, the pressure on mexico to address these issues of the long caravans that are headed towards the united states. certainly congress can have an impact. the republicans if we take back the house have the ability both in funding and support for a border patrol agents. these guys are doing an incredible job, f.b.i., d.e.a. and f.b.i. we need to fund them and give them the technology and tools and they will catch more and secure our border even more. >> bill: "new york post." government using charities to

hide just how much money is going to illegal immigration. to our viewers who have not seen the story, there are a number of groups that you give -- rough okay, congressman? are you okay there? >> we just lost the signal there. >> mike turner, the republican from ohio lives in downtown dayton, ohio. here is the story and i can fill in a few of the pieces here four. apparently what the story alleges is that if you give to a charity, the charity can back door the money to some illegal -- to some immigration groups. let me just read one line here. even before crossing the border, migrants still in mexico are being handed debit cards loaded with $800 a month that enables them to pay for necessities. so this is something we're looking into to figure out why it is happening. how long it can happen and you might remember the mayor in washington, d.c. about a week ago and the mayor of new york city about a week ago have been complaining now that the

homeless shelters in new york and washington are now being populated by migrants and there is not enough room for the homeless people already here in new york city and in washington, d.c. quote, if we can't take care of the homeless here, how can we take care of immigrants? that's what one gentleman wants to know in that piece. check it out in the "new york post." get mike turner back and talk to him about the trip on the border. as we just heard from steve harrigan, there is about a dozen republicans heading to the border. we'll see what they have to say later this week. nine minutes past the hour. back to julie with me. >> julie: mass shaongt at a car show prompting the lapd to issue a tactical alert. the latest on the hunt for the killer. >> bill: bipartisan lawmakers sounding the alarm @-home dna testing and how the enemies can weaponize it. >> julie: why are beach goers

someone's yard. oh boy. the florida wildlife commission has so far alligators have killed three people this year. major jump from one death every three years. here to weigh in is wildlife expert jeff. it's great to have you on. i'm mildly obsessed with alligators, i won't lie. gator boys from the florida everglades do this for a living and show up at people's homes and capture these alligators somehow. why are they so much more prevalent these days roaming through people's yards? >> good morning, julie. great to talk with you. the reason why they are more prevalent, we have more encounters with gators is because there are a lot more gators. incredible when you think about 40 years ago it was on the

brink of extinction. because of the en gaining erd species act they've recovered in a swimming way. i would be willing to bet if there is a fresh body of water in florida, there is an alligator in it. that could be a swimming pool. >> julie: oh no, you don't want one there. there have been six alligator attacks in the u.s. so far just in 2022. three people killed like i just mentioned including a florida woman. how rare are alligator attacks? we don't want to scare everyone into thinking they're so common. and when will they attack, do you know? >> great question, julie. statistically you have a better chance of winning the lottery than being attacked by an alligator. if you had an allergy to bee stings, i would be much more worried about bees than alligators. i'm allergic to bees and i

raised bees for my own honey, my suicide bee mission. back to the alligators, the truth is it's incredibly remote, incredibly rare. but as the population rises, there are things we can do to prevent that. i would not swim in a body of water in florida if there is any warnings that alligators live there. you need to be careful about children and pets near the water. you need to be careful about the times you are near the water, early in the morning, sunset. these are the issues that increase the pob built that something could go wrong. it is incredibly rare and very remote. >> julie: what used to be rare were shark sightings especially in the area where i am. in long island there have been so many this summer. i want to talk about shark attacks. in the u.s. we've seen 25 shark attacks in 2022 so far. while most shark attacks and

bites -- they aren't fatal most, almost all, why does the u.s. lead the world in unprovoked shark attacks and shark bites? >> actually we don't lead the world. there are other places, for example in parts of coastal africa where you have actually more shark attacks and from species that we don't see in the northeast. for example bull shark. that's the most dangerous of all the sharks. here in new england where we live i live on an island and yesterday i was scuba diving and before that i was scuba diving and i have an app, shark activity to let me know it will pop up and say a shark is in your area and you have to mull it over. will i get in the water and look for lobsters? it is so remote but the reason why we're seeing more sharks today is because number one, the waters are healthier

because of good environmental measures, the waters off new england and new york are healthier and a better environment and more creatures which means more sharks. we've seen an increase in prey species that sharks feed on. harbor seals and gray seals. 100 years ago they were extricated and didn't live here. these populations are booming so are the shark populations. also the waters are warming up a little bit around where we live, which means species are migrating north. the biggest reason for more sharks here and great white sharks is because of an increase in prey. >> julie: that one right there was in long island. if i saw that on my beach -- >> i would say that makes me want to go to my dentist. >> julie: it makes me want to get in my swimming pool. jeff core win.

those almost 400 law enforcement officers in uvalde, texas, who were waiting outside an unlocked door while the children were being massacreed. they heard the screams and gunshots and nobody stepped forward. >> bill: wow. that's the former v.p. al gore comparing climate change deniers to the police who responded to the school in uvalde, texas, arguing both are responsible foor douglas murray. good morning to you. what do you think of that? >> amazing. just take the first thing. climate deniers. everyone knows that phrase itself is meant to compare anyone who questions what al gore himself says with holocaust deniers. it's a deliberate choice.

climate deniers is meant to sum onup the idea of holocaust deniers. on top of that insult you have and also if you don't agree with everything al gore says you are also like the uvalde police who didn't act. this is like a ramping up of rhetoric. just when you think it can't get any higher, this rhetoric, they try to take it to the next level of just insulting not deniers but any critics of theirs. >> bill: i would guess if he was looking for attention, he got it. also in that interview he said what we're doing with our inaction in failing to walk through the door, walk through the door and stop the killing is not typical of what we are capable of as human beings. >> it's like these just get off oil, stop oil protestors who keep gluing masterpieces and letting down tires in new york

and other places. they are trying to get as much attention as possible. in one way they're successful in that but i don't know if it means they'll bring the public along with them. every time al gore makes another extraordinary claim, every time he insults people a bit more, every time another masterpiece has a few students gluing themselves to it, they get the attention. they definitely get the media attention. but do the public come along with them and believe them? i don't think so. >> bill: we have a little bit. this is a piece of artwork. the artist died in 1510. >> he did work in oil. >> bill: that's funny. it was a good 200 years before the industrial revolution and here we are with him in florence, italy. >> this has been happening at art galleries across the world and in great britain where the climate extremists, let's reply in kind glue themselves to master work and all of the

police and others saying are you okay? anything you can do, like coffee? this italian security guard is my new hero. the security guard in florence just grabbed these people and pulled them straight off. either it hurt them a lot or they weren't really using as good glue as they pretend. look at what the people are doing. thank goodness it turns out there is a glass frontage to this masterpiece. otherwise in the name of saving the planet they would destroy another piece of civilization and they call all of their critics the extremists, the deniers, the people like uvalde. who is it gluing themselves to masterpieces and trying to destroy civilization in the name of saving it? >> it's one of the greatest museums in the world. this story came by two weeks ago. if you want to get incensed look at what happened on a highway in maryland. this guy was trying to get to a

job. he is on parole. if he doesn't show up for work, they put him back behind bars. this was a desperate man caught on camera. >> this has been going on every single case. it has been happening across europe. glue themselves on the road. stop ill people getting to hospitals and stop people getting to work and school. when you ask them. i was speaking to some of these people last week. whenever you speak to them about this say they bigger goal. the bigger goal. that is the claim of end time extremists all over history, you know? it doesn't matter how many people's lives we wreck in the interim for the bigger goal. that is the sort of thing that you hear from extremist preachers, it is what you hear from cults. i'm afraid we've seen people like this an awful lot in human history. when they just decide they can

wreck the lives of other people. they know better than us what we should do. they know better than that guy. they don't mind that they will wreck that guy's life. they don't mind because they know best. >> bill: inconvenient truth. al gore was 2006. >> julie: right. >> bill: 16 years ago. we're still here. >> well, >> bill: good news. >> all of their projections turn out to be wrong. it is not to nothing but the projections are wrong. look what happened last october. we were told by boris johnson that we have one hour left. we're doing okay. >> bill: enjoy lunch, okay? thank you, douglas murray, nice to see you. >> julie: thousands of firefighters facing incredibly dangerous conditions. look at this battling the blaze near yellow stone. we have a live update for you coming up next and also taiwan holding military drills. what are they up to amid new

acres of dry forest exploding into one of california's biggest wildfires of the year. also forcing thousands of people unfortunately to have to flee their homes. senior correspondent claudia cowen. >> you know, no sooner do firefighters get the upper hand on one wildfire burning at yosemite then an even bigger one breaks out nearby and sadly as you just heard this one is taking out homes. the oak fire started on friday afternoon southwest of the park and about 12 miles west of the washburn fire that threatened those historic sequoia trees. that fire is 80% contained but this new fire is 10% contained and three times as big. scorching more than 16,000 acres and as you said making it one of california's biggest fires of the year. it is burning in a sparsely

populated area it has destroyed 15 buildings. firefighters are contending with triple digit heat and tinder dry conditions brought on by years of drought in california. here in mariposa it hasn't rained since april. and bark beetles that have killed hundreds of thousands of trees has left a dangerous fuel load for this fire. thousands of residents have been ordered to evacuate. some saying they fled with little more than clothes on their back. getting to yosemite is difficult because of road closures. smoke is visible for miles creating hazardous air quality conditions north of yosemite and might creep into the bay area more than 100 miles away. no injuries have been reported and the fire didn't grow very much yesterday. that is considered a win and also so far today, not a lot of

>> bill: the whole line so much is out of our control. is that really the case when you look at policies on energy and taxes and regulation? you are sounding the call. are people in your party listening? >> look, if there was a silver bullet that would have involved inflation it would have been shot, right? it is about trying as many things as we can to try to affect that needle. the number one thing people are talking to me about and should be the number one thing on every press conference, at every news meeting, every cabinet-level secretary's conversation publicly so that we are -- even if not one silver bullet exists we're trying as much as we can. i would like to see more creativity on that score. >> bill: such as? >> the big one i suggested back in february is suspending the federal gas tax, right? it is not perfect but it would save us 18 or 19 cents a gallon. while prices are coming down for 40 straight days i think it

undergirds everything in inflation is priels of gas. you have to transport things. that to me is sometimes has been popular and sometimes unpopular. i would like to see it done. >> bill: it comes out to pennies on the dollar. you look at a reelection that will be close for you and many others in michigan. i was looking at this a moment ago. arizona phoenix, 60% of the voters in that state live in phoenix. inflation is running at 12.3%. in atlanta, 11.2%. that is a stiff headwind. >> i don't think about it in terms of a reelection issue. i think about the choices that families are making because of inflation. that's a real conversation that is happening at the kitchen table. the kids go to bed and it's like what won't we do? we pay more at the grocery store and tank. it is just -- there is no bigger issue right now and why

it should be the number one thing that everyone is talking about, including from the white house. >> bill: a republican from minnesota runs the committee to get republicans elected in november saying this is a grocery and gas election. i think that's what you are saying. but we're not hearing from a ton of other democrats. quickly i want to get to one more topic. nancy pelosi wants to go to taiwan. the pentagon saying don't do it. do you have a problem if she does make that trip? >> i was in taiwan in thanksgiving and part of the few delegations that has gone in. we need to be muscular when it comes to china and they cannot tell us where we should and should not travel. now she has made the commitment and when i went in november on a bipartisan trip they sent this unbelievable letter to us telling us you better not come, they squawked at our air force pilots as we landed and they did midair incursions on taiwan airspace. they'll react but i think we

can't just say we'll roll over when they say don't come. >> bill: i think what you just said is mirrored by many republicans including newt gingrich. you may not think you have a lot in common with him but this is what he said. what is the pentagon thinking when it warns against speaker pelosi going to taiwan? if we're intimidated we can't protect a speaker of the house why should beijing key with help taiwan survive. timidity is dangerous. >> i think we have vast agreement on this on a bipartisan basis in congress. we need to take a muscular approach. if there was a private conversation of things i'm not aware of. it shouldn't happen in the press in front of the chinese. >> you don't regret going, do you? >> not at all. i'm glad i did and i think we have to demonstrate support for a country fighting off an adversary that's a lot bigger. they are a small democracy in

you get it back and this happens. what happened? >> well, basically speaking. there are kids playing around on a boat. i continued doing my fishing and ask they pull the kayak up. they did so but when it came time for me to set out for the afternoon and head back to port i gathered all my belongings and my paddle was gone. i spent literally the late afternoon searching for that paddle that set my set-off time late. 3 hours to paddle back. once i realized i couldn't find the paddle and it was getting dusky had no choice but to set out. i made a makeshift paddle out of drift wood. set out was probably 45 minutes into my trip back when my kayak got really heavy.

next thing i know within 2 or 3 minutes i was neck deep in water and full dark at this point and add to everything a big storm rolls in and starts pushing probably 25 knot winds against the current so i had opposing winds and current and the first -- my biggest mistake i would say my first probably hour, hour and a half i tried to save all the gear. i had a lot of expensive gear. i spent a lot of time treading water with gear and i should have got rid of that a lot sooner. >> julie: i want to know your reaction when you saw him and hands sticking out of the water. you mentioned 20 to 30 knot winds. it will give you four-feet waves. three to four-foot waves. that's a lot of wind for somebody stuck out there for four hours. what did you think when you saw two hands sticking out of the water? >> i'll be honest with you.

it is burned in my brain. i saw two hands and a puffy jacket. i knew i had one shot of getting him. it was pitch black out there. i did a 180 and figured he was on my port side. i did a straight 180. he was being pushed by the currents. i have a 40 foot long boat and i'm like trying to hit a basketball in the water. by the time i got turned around i was hollering for him and he wasn't responding. i knew -- i'm out there trying to just find him. i knew had i not found him, weighs gone. >> julie: i'm a captain as well. finding a needle in a hay stack. >> i had no idea where he was. when it is pitch black and trying to turn a boat completely opposite where you were going. >> julie: you were in the right place.

all right. thank you both for coming on. i wish we could talk more. i'm so sorry, we are out of time, i apologize. thank you so much. awesome story. i'm glad to hear davey is okay. thanks, guys. >> bill: good way to end it, right? good story. that guy was thirsty being out there. julie, i will see you tomorrow. >> julie: let's do it again. >> bill: make it a good monday. here is harris. >> martha: we begin with a fox news alert. the white house with more defense than this week. gdp and consumer confidence numbers expected to show exactly where we are in terms of a reception. now critics are saying the biden administration is trying to redefine the word recession. maybe they think that we don't understand. we do. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". the white house has put
