"gutfeld!" next. ♪ ♪ >> carley: you are watching "fox & friends first" on the third day money back carley shimkus live at national park ahead of today's congressional baseball game. hey, todd. >> todd: i'm todd piro new york and what many of you don't know, we started with the

charter, the 2019 washington national cabbage acknowledgement. carley was an essential part of the tobacco she brings it in all aspects of the game. you've never seen an arm like this because she can hit the dickens out of the ball and her baseball acumen is of the chart, that's why we sent her today. >> carley: yeah, actually, todd, last week we had congressmen steve is the lease on any called me the good luck charm of the republican team because last year, i came down, 2020 to the day didn't have the congressional baseball game because of the week of it, and republicans went to this big losing streak, but last year, tr won. maybe i just have something to do with it. i wouldn't give myself that much credit, but this is really such a fun event, todd. it is a rare example of bipartisanship on capitol hill, it's friendly competition between republicans and democrats, and also, a record number of tickets were sold this year, and they raised a record amount of money for charity.

$1.5 million per cupboard, that is what this is all about you quite a big fund-raiser for 35 local, washington, d.c., charities. loss of an all-star lineup of lawmakers on deck this morning the alp's sticking with congressmen tim bircher pat's allen, bill has into along with congresswoman lisa mcclain ahead of today's game, so it's going to be a really fun to. >> todd: it's was when we are there. love you and the lawmakers. talk about the game, because like you mentioned, it brings people together, it something that unifies a city that is never unified, where they disagree on what day of the week it is. it thursday, by the way people are just at the of the way right up your car just awesome to have either. looking forward to the next two hours and it's going to be a greater. >> carley: yeah, it is, and last year, congressmen greg steube a document. one of the only government will ever do that during the congressional baseball game, especially on a majorly parked there, courtesy of eagle repeated this year, but we do

have -- >> todd: that wasn't just a moment, he annihilated that bore, carley. that was majorly at level. >> carley: it really was! like i said, is going to be assured it is money to cover got to talk about that and so much more. we do have some serious news to get to, including this. we are awaiting the release of a potentially devastating economic report that could reveal we are in a recession record numbers coming up today. >> todd: comes as senator joe manchin reverses course and agrees to support another massive democrat spending bill. from washington as well. good morning. >> good money, todd and carley. joe manchin through quite a curveball yesterday, but jerome powell surprise no one, hiking interest rates once again at 75 basis point, matching the highest increase since 1994. the clearest sign yet were headed for turbulent times. you're properly going to see a recession coming.

>> i do not think the u.s. is currently in a recession. the reason as they are just too many areas of the economy that are performing too well. >> it comes out of today's critical gdp report expecting to show falling numbers for the second quarter. yet, the white house still maintains that want to meet the technical definition of a recession. watch. >> in 2008, of course, economists have a technical definition, which is a recession, which is two consecutive quarters of negative growth. >> i can tell you there's -- >> to negative quarters of gdp growth is not the technical definition of a recession. >> does not. it is not. >> meanwhile, 321 sent shock waves across capitol hill meeting a deal with majority leader schumer on a scaled-down spending bill issuing a joint statement saying that the act of

2022 will make a start down payment on debt reduction to fight inflation, invest in domestic energy production and manufacturing and reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40% by 2030. here's what's on the bill. nearly $370 billion in energy security and climate change programs. $64 billion in health care subsidies, and a 15% corporate minimum tax. president biden healing the agreement, saying "this addresses the problems of today. high health care cost and overall inflation as well as investments in our energy security for the future." but republican senator rand paul blasting it. >> later this week, we're going to hear that we had to negative quarters, which is the definition of a recession. lazy taxes in the midst of a recession is a really, really bad idea, and could make it much worse, so i fear this is really pushing is over the edge into a major recession.

>> will hear from the president about all of that when he delivers economic remarks this afternoon. todd and carley. >> todd: thank you very much be much vehicle that has been in more easy, professor and former chief economist for the u.s. international trade commission. peter, where to start? i'm actually going to start with this new manchin tax deal. if it ultimately go through, how bad of a deal is this for the average american taxpayer? >> well, it's a job killer. it essentially imposes additional taxes on business, which makes it more difficult at best and to buy a pack on the one hand, the bill provides some incentives to buy electric vehicles, not the other, taxes the companies that make them at a greater level, so what's the benefit? my feeling is that this is just an just electioneering. it's an effort to put something out there. it's not build back america, but to say they accomplish something is going go-to ltd. i have news for the administration, and for

senator schumer. this is very arcane and americans will not be paying attention to anything other than what they're paying at the grocery store. which are outrageous numbers, and which won't bode well for democrats in the fall. >> carley: what you think about what the fed announced yesterday and will it work in fighting inflation? >> well, we need a lot more your cup here is writes about one percentage point a month. the fed is moving, but it's moving too slowly. that in itself won't stop all the problems. in this period, its things like food prices and energy supplies in the administration has ignored some of those problems, the food crisis, agriculture. with regard to energy, concerning domestic energy production, restricting refineries in some form is not a good way to put more gasoline on

the street. he can release the strategic petroleum reserve all you want, but it's not a large amount and if you don't have someplace to refine the all, what good is it? you can put crude oil in your gas tank. >> todd: before we get into the white house shenanigans on how you define a recession, i want to go on the peter morici definition of recession, which appears the actual one, what reality is. peter, do you think, based upon the report that is coming out today, that we will be deemed to be in a recession? >> come people will call it that if we get a negative gdp print. whether we get one or not, we'll just have to see. and forecasting a positive point of 3%. but that's not much. the reality is that the technical definition of a recession is a broad-based decline in economic activity that last more than several months back of the official scorekeeper is the national bureau of economic research, which is a private body and has eight people on the committee and the look at six variables

that are published on a monthly basis. gdp is not one of. it happens to be that if you get a recession, you often get to negative gdp points, but that in itself is not an indicator. the number to watch with regard to this is the jobs report next week. if the jobs report tanks, then i think they will say were in a recession. but you know, these guys are a political. they really don't want to get involved in the election. their public letter recession, but they'll do it next december. >> carley: yeah, i -- that's a great point because -- yeah, and what the white house is saying is that there is more to the definition of a recession than just two quarters of negative growth, and they do include the labor market in the definition. take a listen to what they have been saying over the past few

days. watch this. >> at the technical definition is to quarters of contraction, you're saying there's not a recession? >> it's not the technical definition. >> the technical definition, it's not a recession because the technical definition considers a much broader spectrum of it a point because because that is not the actual definition of a recession. it is a significant contractionary period over a few months. >> carley: yeah, so the atlanta said estimating the second quarter with a front by 1.2%. whatever the numbers, what does this mean for the american people when it comes out today? take a while what it means that the economy slowing, the red-hot job market is going away, it's going to be more difficult to sell your home, especially if you bought it in the last few years at a very high price. my feeling is americans are going to feel pain. i don't think that americans really want to sit around and listen to me or the other economist talk about what is a recession.

after all, they don't like theologians talking about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. what affects the minsk scan to find a job, what does it pay, what it does pay, how does it go in the grocery store and on the gas tank? no, gas prices have eased back a bit, but they're still at very high levels. there are still some shortages in grocery stores. items you can get. by and large, prices are moving ahead very rapidly. consumer product companies like unilever, procter & gamble, coca-cola and so forth have basically taken a hard-nosed approach. they say inflated salaries, a lot of it is advertising based on the jacking up prices and blaming it on the price of you and the price of gasoline. in reality, most of the customer to pay themselves in advertising. to go there with a certain amount of profiteering going on that the administration is not focusing on. it likes to blame meat companies.

there in a much more competitive market and tied it at inter, back in the physical tough time at supermarkets and it's because of a lot of practice this administration is ignoring. of agriculture in the west is really hurting the water. there are things that we could do to make the situation better, and in the infrastructure bill, they give lip service to it and made some token contributions the federal government is ignoring the structure of the domestic economy in favor of welfare programs and how to access. >> todd: you get the nail right on that. this administration can try to spend definition, the numbers are limited because of the night that matters is what the american people feel. they feel squeezed and that is bad news for democrats in this administration. peter morici, always a pleasure to be on the program. thank you, sir. >> carley: thank you, peter. >> todd: 75% of democrats are saying no dojo in 2024. that according to a new poll.

>> carley: but the white house is doubling the president's plummeting popularity of the congressional democrats dance around real action questions altogether. ashley, good morning. >> good money table. the president has expressed his intention to run for election, but it's not looking like even the democrats want him to run again. that according to a new july cnn poll asking who they thought should one on the democratic ticket for 2024. only 25% said joe biden, meaning a whopping 75% as in far different candidate. compare those numbers to january were 45% set by and 51% said a different candidate. however, just a month, the president was bragging about his poll numbers percolated to the echo mr. president, what your message to two democrats don't want to run to run again >> president biden: they want me to run. with the poll. you guys are all the same. >> the white house attempted to be unfazed and downplaying the

polls. because you're not worried about paul's? >> the president has said, has been clear that he intends to run, but we are so far away from that time, from even being close to be thinking about that. >> meanwhile, democrats are not in question asked if they would support a bite in real action bed. >> do you support the president in his re-election bid? >> i'm working on my own election, that's all i'm focused on my tapioca we can chat about that after i went back and get in the united states and it. all be happy to comment. >> progressives even refusing to answer the simple yes oh, no question. >> do you want to see joe biden one prosecutor? >> yeah, i -- >> that's an easy question to match up to take on. >> i do want to answer the question because i don't want to answer the question. because the president chooses to run again in 2024, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it, but i think if the president has

a vision and that something certainly were all willing to entertain when the time comes. >> all of this is where 103 days away from the november midterms. todd and curly. >> carley: november will be here before we know it. ashley, thank you so much. it's been clear president biden vice president, liars have been abandoned by the 30. kellyanne conway think she knows why. here is the explanation. >> i think there's a a huge disconnect between the democratic candidates right now and what the voters i think they can for some reason, the democratic candidates believe they can tell the voter is not important at the peak voters have a way of telling candidates and parties with reported it is a bigger one thing that really strikes me as these candidates, including john federman, including tim ryan in ohio, they don't want joe biden campaigning with. they're pretty critical of the democratic policies and in the case of john ryan at least, the tactics of spending all this money and republican primaries. one thing i'll say is at this

point in 2018, donald trump was under order in his approval and 24 states. joe biden and 44 states. harris was my criminal justice that is not worth. it's remarkable to see a president and vice president at work and embraced by the democratic candidates. >> todd: did you see the abcs the view showing an on-air apology after delinking of view of new protesters to a turning point you save it? what. >> we want to make sure that his demonstrators were gathered outside the event and that they were not invited or endorsed by turning point usa. we apologize for anything we may have said that may have been unclear on this point because it took action comes after the show categorized on the student action summit in tampa, florida this way during the program on monday. >> they are nazis out there in front of the conference with anti-semitic slurs. stephen the conservative group turning point usa has condemned the group of neo-nazis and that they have nothing to do with the

of 1,650 pilots. we are not only five in the pirates, but the biden administration is trying to fire or can do for the critical personnel like christian at a time when there is no pilots to replace them and having difficulties recruiting new members of the air force, so it hurts a military to do this. >> todd: and tristan, to follow up on what questions do, what would our military is as? >> so, i've got 18 years of cybersecurity experience. i had done offensive, cyber, i've done defensive cyber, and you know, right now is not the time to be losing cybersecurity professionals. there are many like me in the same situation, career field like living with an as 360, pilots. we need to get the most experienced people possible in this critical career field. think with one summary was a tough experience, with all the
