>> todd: it's going to be a great day in the nation's capital. i know you have a lot of guests come up on "fox & friends." have fun today. you are our show prospect and i hope you don't get traded at the trading deadline because i miss you. >> carley: that's steube, not me. >> todd: with that, "fox & friends" begins right now. bye-bye. ♪ >> today's critical g.d.p. report expected to show falling numbers and the clearest sign yet we are headed for turbulent times. >> the definition of recession is not two negative quarters of g.d.p. >> senator joe manchin reversed his course and agrees to support another massive democrat spending bill. >> raising taxes is a really really bad idea. i fear this really pushing this over the edge into a major recession. >> house republicans are demanding answers from hunter biden's financial adviser over his client's foreign dealings. that joe did know about. >> a lot of evidence on the

laptop which might suggest joe biden was actually profiting. >> live at national park ahead of today's congressional baseball game. >> play in a big league ballpark. that's something that never gets old. ♪ put me in coach ♪ i'm ready to to play today ♪ put me in coach ♪ i'm ready to play the game. >> ainsley: 7:05 the congressional baseball game will take place on fox sports 2 also stream on fox nation if you want to watch. >> brian: slow arriving crowd. >> steve: 7:05 p.m. >> brian: isn't traffic terrible in washington, d.c.? what are they waiting for? [laughter] >> steve: we have somebody who is actually near the stadium. she is posted at a fantastic van daniel point across the street on the top of the hotel. last time i went to the game i stayed in that hotel. carley shimkus joins us right now. carley, the view from that hotel

is fantastic. >> carley: isn't it amazing? look at this. this is national park right behind me. it's been so wonderful being here all morning long. and this is a great event. because it really is a rare moment of bipartisan and friendly competition between republicans and democrats. this congressional baseball game has been going on since 1909 so it is a time-honored tradition. the best part, guys, is it raises money for charity. this year was a record broker. they have raised $1.5 million for 35 different local charities, 17,000 tickets have been sold, which is also a record breaking number. unfortunately something else we have been talking about all morning doesn't come without controversy. apparently climate change protesters that are going to be showing up. a lot of them say they are engaging in their right to peacefully protest but then a few weeks ago we heard from that group shut down d.c. that was also paying bounties for the location of justice brett

kavanaugh. apparently they are going to be here, too. they said they would be willing to get arrested in order to shut this event down. capitol police is on top of it. so, hopefully, nothing bad happens. but to shine a lot on the positive. this really is such a fun event. i'm so excited to be here. like i said, friendly competition between republicans and democrats and it's going to be a great day. >> steve: it will be. carley, we should also remind people. it's hard to believe but it was five years ago that that guy came and shot up the republican practice before the game and they resumed it a year later. but it's hard to believe it's been five years. >> carley: yeah. and we are going to be talking to congressman steve scalise later this morning and also brad wenstrup who is a doctor and credited with being one of the people who saved scalise's life. so it's always, steve, i'm so glad you mentioned that, always important to remember one of those dark moments and then after that happened, republicans and democrats really coming together to support congressman

scalise because there are things that are more important in life than partisan politics. >> ainsley: absolutely. >> brian: is this come out of the "fox & friends" budget or "fox & friends first" budget, your trip? >> carley: isn't it all just a happy pool of money? i didn't know that there was a separate account. >> ainsley: i don't know. >> steve: georgia yesterday. >> brian: i don't bill "fox & friends first." can we look into that? and could you -- >> steve: she amortized it over five hours. >> brian: yeah. >> carley: i am saving. >> ainsley: if it is "fox & friends" you are welcome to it. >> carley: ainsley is so sweet. saving of the company some money because this hotel serves free breakfast. >> ainsley: good. >> carley: i'm going down to get some breakfast. >> brian: good job. >> ainsley: thank you, carley. last year the republicans won. and that group that wants to protests several groups do putting out fliers all throughout washington, d.c., go and protest. it's a friendly baseball game, you know.

capitol police said they will not put up with any violence or allow unlawful behavior. >> steve: they shouldn't. the republicans won last year 13-12. that's one big number from last year. now let's talk about a big number going to come out at 8:30 this morning. the g.d.p. is probably according to atlanta feds g.d.p. now tracker who knew they had such a thing. this past quarter will show 1.2% negative group. now moodiens expects about a 1 percent decline. top that with the 1.6% decline in the first quarter. you have got two back-to-back quarters of negative growth. that is a recession. and that's why the fed yesterday was very busy doing something that's going to hurt a lot of people. >> ainsley: they are worried about inflation. they are raising the interest rate .75%. but, when you look at what you are paying more for. the numbers are pretty staggering. compare last june to this june. gas prices are up almost 60%. and then air fares up 34.1%.

cereal is up 15.1%. meat poultry. used cars up 7.1%. >> brian: whole thing changings the definition of something you are experiencing. i love the term when people say we are going to slow down the economy. what are you doing? oh by raising interest rates? oh, fantastic. by pushing people not to spend as much? okay. so make it harder for us to spend so we have less money by raising the energy billings you might be spending on as well as the price per gallon you are putting in your tank. so the economy slows down. >> they believe the inflation will gradually slow down. peace painful for working class people. the biggest surprise took place yesterday for ome and maybe for people not named chuck schumer and joe manchin. joe manchin seems to have surrendered to the democrats. >> steve: he caved. >> brian: revived social build back better program. originally build back better $14 trillion and bonanza of democratic spending issues on mostly about climate change and

taxing the rich. joe manchin says i can't do that i'm from a fossil fuel state and this is not the right time. have you noticed we are coming out of a pandemic. he has done it four or five times. one time he hops on with bret baier i just want to say build back better is dead. i'm not voting for it kyrsten sinema has joined him there. he comes out even though inflation is still high and would not look to do the spending package with inflation this high wanted he went and cut a deal. the details of which, the most detailed place is the "wall street journal" but we still don't know a lot about what he agreed to. >> steve: apparently lower healthcare cost-to-a lou medicare to negotiate the prices of prescription drugs. that actually is a good thing. it's also going to fight climate change and reduce the deaf sift to the tune of about $300 billion. >> ainsley: 15% minimum corporate tax. >> steve: that's right it will probably move forward next week. all in all there is about $433 billion of enough spending. that's about half a trillion dollars. now, keep in i understand moo, he joe manchin last week said i have got wait to see the

inflation number. because, as we have -- because he doesn't want to hurt the economy. here's the thing. in the last quarter of last year, the san francisco fed came out and said that because of all of the government spending, at that point, inflation was 6%. they said half of it, 3% was because of all the government spending. enough to they are going to have all this government spending. they are also going to jack up taxes on, ainsley you are absolutely right, big corporations. it's going to be a minimum tax and some of america's most successful people. >> ainsley: can't hire as many people expensive to run a business. >> steve: flies in the face of what he said. i'm going to wait to see the inflation number. now i cave let's spend half a trillion dollars. >> ainsley: chuck schumer has something up his sleeve. they were meeting met with the president as well they came to an agreement and you are right joe manchin caved. >> brian: here's what he said. >> ainsley: he said i now propose and will vote for the

inflation reduction act. that's what they're calling it what a spin. it's spending more money. he goes on to say rather than risking more inflation with trillions in new spending, this bill would cut the inflation taxes americans are paying. lower the cost of health insurance and prescription drugs and ensure our country invests in the energy, security of and climate change solution. >> brian: no one checked with senator sinema. senator sinema has said i'm not for this carried interest and i'm not for the spending. and when she was told about this deal, she said really? she had no idea that this was being done. so they're assuming everyone is on the same page. also, if you are mark kelly, and you are trying to win in a red/purple state. is this the time to sign off on spend. if you are senator masto or hasan in new hampshire. masto trying to hold on to her seat in nevada? is this the time to sign off on spending? >> steve: listen, the democrats need a win. >> brian: wait, i'm just saying. my point is that's not what would really help them in their

state to win an election. that's the key. that was my point. >> steve: of the $433 billion of new spending, most is focused on climate change and clean energy. here is rand paul. >> we all understand a recession to be two consecutive quarters of -- >> i think it's very risky and very dangerous to raise taxes as you are entering into a recession. as we are entering into a recession, things are going to slow down. in order to try to stymie and stifle inflation, interest rates are going to rise. raising taxes in the midst of a recession is a really, really bad idea. and could make it much worse. so, i fear this really pushing us over the edge into a major recession. >> ainsley: more spending, throwing a lot of fuel on this inflation fire. then they are trying to change the definition of inflation. >> steve: what? >> ainsley: yeah. brian deese, who is a clinton campaign senior economic adviser he said on tuesday that the definition of recession is not two negative quarters of the

g.d.p. but back in 2008, he said what senator clinton has said is that of course economists have a technical definition of recession which is two consecutive quarters of negative growth. >> steve: what, he flip flopped? >> ainsley: he did. watch this. >> if we all understand a recession to be two consecutive quarters of negative g.d.p. growth in a row and then you have white officials come up here to say, no, no, that's not what a recession is. suspects something else. how is that not redefining. >> that's not the definition. that's not the definition. steve: brian deese said of course the have a technical definition of recession which is two consecutive quarters of negative growth. and yesterday he said two negative itive quarters of g.d.p. growth is not the technical definition of a recession. what changed? >> it's not. the textbook definition of recession is not, is not two negative quarters of g.d.p. >> ainsley: i will tell you what changed. she said the party has changed

there is a midterm right around the corner. they don't want you to think we are in a recession. >> brian: the thing is, too. in one way everyone is making their own decisions by their own bills, by their own lifestyle about what they are doing. where they are vacationing, where they are going. how much money is left in their account. your wages are going up but not as fast as inflation which is even higher than 9% in some places. so it is semantics. it's aggravating when people try to tell you the final score is not what the final score is. that the facts are not the facts. and famous lines of we have alternative facts that kellyanne said. the last thing is to circle back with joe manchin there is additional hope. that's the parliamentarian will look what's in this bill and see there is a lot -- see if there is in fact a lot of non-budgetary items in it and say this is not eligible for reconciliation and the parliamentarian is supposed to be nonpartisan and has stopped these spending paloozas before.

>> steve: if you run a solar or wind power company of some sort, you are probably about to get a bunch of money from, thanks to your friends in the democratic party. >> ainsley: would it still past if sinema is not on board. >> brian: see if there is a lot of pressure. maybe mark kelly will stand up and try to save his clear. >> steve: stay tuned. an exciting day. the number for the g.d.p. and if it's a recession. we are going to call it a recession, that number comes out. >> ainsley: we would love for it not to be. we will see. >> steve: yeah, except we feel it let's call it right now what it is. >> ainsley: charles payne said americans feel like we are in a recession. if you got a 3% pay raise this year but recession is 9.1%. still paying more. >> steve: you are losing 6% every paycheck. >> brian: interest rates went up yesterday good, that's great. great for who if you are buying a house or credit card will. >> ainsley: everything went up. still ahead, neighborhoods in

kentucky are under water this morning as heavy rain turns roads really into rivers. insane video of floods trapping people inside their own houses. >> steve: it's getting harder for president biden to deny knowledge of hunter's business dealings. the new text message shedding light on who the big guy really is. >> brian: the mets beat the yankees in the 90's. >> steve: look who is coming up today ♪ i'm hooked on a feeling ♪ i'm high on believing ♪ that you're in love in me you're a target for chronic kidney disease. you can already have it and not know it. if you have chronic kidney disease your kidney health could depend on what you do today. ♪far-xi-ga♪ farxiga is a pill that works in the kidneys to help slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. farxiga can cause serious side effects including dehydration,

new york police dental is releasing video of the people they say shot two children

16-year-old and 12-year-old. one of the shooters getting back in the car and speeding off. the manhunt is underway for them right now. the "new york post" reporting the young man shot is expected to undergo surgery today to remove the bullet. now to a fox weather alert. flash floods watching away cars and trapping people inside their homes across kentucky. this is new video from hazard in the southeastern part of the state as much as six inches of rain fell in some parts of the state over the last 24 hours. and in virginia. at least 10 navy helicopters are mangled after a major storm hits in norfolk naval station. the navy's initial assessment estimates $2.5 million in damage. and two-time masters champion bubba watson will reportedly become the latest pga tour star to join saudi's back rival liv golf. the watson will be paid more than $40 million by liv golf.

watson joining comes as former president donald trump aattends liv golf party in manhattan. set to host this next weekend at the course in bedminster, new jersey. those are your headlines. back to you. >> brian: donald trump is playing in the pro-am today with bryce, dechambeau and i believe dustin johnson. >> ainsley: is he a scratch golfer? >> steve: they are all good golfers. >> ainsley: i know the other ones are. >> brian: i believe he is the greatest golfing president ever. >> ainsley: athletic. >> steve: meanwhile, you have heard, this hunter biden is in a heap of trouble. and we have been talking for a number of years now about who the big guy is. because we have seen some earlier messages that apparently the big guy was going to get 10% of this chinese energy deal that hunter and his business associates had brokered. well, now, according to a whistleblower, who has leaked

some text messages to g.o.p. investors, probing the laptop, we now have heard from one of hunter biden's exbusiness associates discussing the big guy with an unnamed person october 14th, 2020, just a couple weeks before the election and this was after the laptop from hell story broke in the "new york post" obviously this guy james gilyard, hunter's business associate is freaking out. >> ainsley: gilyard is assuming the person the revelations would not be damaging for joe biden regardless of the outcome ever the election. they will try to make it oh we were not involved and make us collateral damage which the president said i'm not involved in his business dealings. gilliar says i don't see how that would work for them. think in a scenario that he wins, they would just leave

sleeping dogs lie. if they lose, honestly, i don't think that the big guy really cares about that because it would be too busy focusing on all the other stuff that he is doing. >> brian: if you see some of the interactions, one thing is clear, they thought this thing would get blown up when the "new york post" exposed it and tony bobulinski came out before the debates and revealed it his story, he welcomed everybody to back up his story and try to verify it and senator ron johnson did just that but then they lost power in the senate. the investigation stopped on a dime. it hasn't stopped the "new york post" from moving forward. mainstream outlets from confirming the "new york post" story and the laptop was actually accurate and the laptop was indeed real. that's what's changed about this. now people are revisiting a lot of these interactions and down loading even more of it and saying wait a second, there is no way joe biden could not have been involved in this. remember, when joe biden was asked about his son's dealings with various countries.

obviously dealing in his son's name outside of being a lawyer he has no experience. listen. >> do you still think that the story from the fall about his son hunter was russian disinformation like you said? >> yes, yes, yesterday. god love you, man, you are a one horse pony, god love you, thank you. >> do you think it was wrong for him to take that position. >> no. >> knowing it was really because that company wanted access to you. >> that's not true. you are saying things you do not know what you are talking about. no one said that who said that? >> ainsley: republicans on the house oversight committee are now looking into some of these transactions there were 150 transactions. and the banks flagging these transactions saying hold on. this is spichts activity which is sars. suspicious activity reports were sent to hunter biden according to these reports. and so the house oversight committee, these republicans want answers. they are asking his financial adviser we need to know what were these transactions?

was some of this money being fubled to the big guy? >> steve: because and i heard a republican lawmaker talking on fox news channel yesterday about how hunter biden's financial transactions set off this sars. suspicious thing over 100 times. and what that suggests is hey, the government needs to look into it because it is suspicious. but, when you look at what we have just shown you, and you hear what tony bobulinski said a couple of years ago, it does appear that joe was part of hunter's deal-making with china and, in fact, two weeks after that text exchange, the business associated, mr. gilliar, sent bobulinski a message don't mention joe biden's involvement in that chinese energy company. that's after joe actually -- that was in 2017 after joe met with bobulinski at the beverly hilton in los angeles. with jim biden as well. they were talking to tony

bobulinski because he was going to be the ceo of this joint chinese venture and biden said to tony bobulinski thank you for helping my son. my son and my brother trust you emphatically so i trust you. and that's when tony called a couple of weeks later and said -- was called and said don't say anything about the bidens. >> ainsley: don't mention joe biden that's only face to face. don't text anything about that. >> brian: why he has the nickname big guy miranda devine weighed in on this on tucker. >> they had nothing to offer except the biden name used by president xi jinping belton road initiative to open doors around the world where the chinese government wanted do buy up infrastructure and track countries in debt and so when joe biden was getting -- was allocated, supposedly the big guy 10% of the deal, this is just part of a lot of evidence on the laptop which might

suggest that joe biden was actually profiting from some of these deals. >> brian: keep in mind this guy edward was told yesterday hey, save all your documents because you are the one that alerted hunter biden that wells fargo in particular was flagging your transactions with other countries. >> steve: he is his financial adviser. >> brian: we need you to expand on what you do know. so save those documents. the key is, republicans have to get control of the house. and if they get control of the senate, they can make progress, if they don't, this story will go away. >> steve: unless the doj is following, you would hope so. >> ainsley: they thought if he did win, which he did, he would leave sleeping dogs lie. >> steve: to far they have been asleep. we are trying to wake them up. hey, you see what's happening? >> brian: yeah, merrick garland has been very aggressive looking into this. still ahead, the federal reserve just raised interest rates again. matching the biggest increase since 199 #.

federal reserve raised interest rate second month in a row as they try to bring sky high inflation rates down to the earth. jerome powell claims don't worry about it. >> we're not trying to have a recession and we don't think we have to. we think that there is a path for us to be able to bring inflation down while success spaining a strong labor market. that's what we are trying to achieve and we continue to think that there is a future that. >> steve: okay. here with his take, making money host charles payne. well, you know what? they don't want to have a recession but we can see the writing on the wall. >> charles: sure, listen. it's noble. to say you want a soft landing. we all want a soft landing, believe me. but the fed is doing something that they really don't do, that they haven't done. and that's to deliberately slow the economy that's already slowing down on its own. >> steve: right. >> charles: normally you reel in a economy rolling in two fast too strong this is the exact opposite. he admits and everyone knows that their policy have a lag

effect. you know, there could be a accumulation of all of these rate hikes down the road as we are going down even further. the old snowball becoming a bolder gets even more speed. >> steve: man. and we know that this gigantic government spending over the last couple of years is the fire that has fueled this whole thing. and the -- we cited this about a half an hour ago. the federal reserve in san francisco said that at the end of last year half of the inflation number, 3% was because of that and now the federal government is on the verge of spending about half a trillion more dollars because joe manchin is now teaming up with chuck schumer to spend a bunch of dough on solar and deficit reduction and healthcare and stuff like that. >> charles: you know what's really amazing and shouldn't be lost on anyone the day after republicans went for a big corporate welfare package, $280 billion to the semiconductor industry is the day joe manchin said i'm down for reconciliation, right? so, washington, again, spending

a ton of money. and who is getting this money? wealthy corporations on one side, wealthy americans on another. how dumb is it, how dumb is it it to pay someone, give some money to people to buy used evs, even -- if you want more people to buy evs you don't incentivize them to buy used one. who is going to buy most of these? college-educated folks who live in these urban centers and 99% of the time vote democrats. progressives. this is a give away, a multi billion dollars give away to the richest americans yet again on both sides of the aisle. people watching this show regular folks getting up making ends meet don't get squat, don't get anything. be lucky if at some point they can keep their jobs. higher corporate taxes eventually will mean fewer jobs. >> steve: sure, ultimately perhaps joe manchin caved because everybody in his party needs a win. they need a win. because the poll numbers are terrible. >> charles: some of the things i read he was saying apparently,

all of his friends in the party being mad at him got to him. i thought he was made of stronger stuff than that i thought he was a principled guy but apparently he wants a.o.c. to be his friend. folks in west virginia have to grapple with that so do the rest of americans. >> steve: part of it is lower healthcare costs to allow medicare to negotiate the price of prescription drugs. that's a good thing. but it sounds like half the money is focused on climate change. >> charles: more than half the money. here's the thing how they pay for it is piece sis. 15% corporate minimum tax wealthy hedge fund managers we have been hearing that 30 years. it ain't happening. ironically they call it a deaf sift reduction act. [. [laughter] almost as funny the affordable healthcare act. i love the titles they come up with. what does it do to healthcare, call it the affordable healthcare act. what about this one it's going to send inflation through the roof call it the anti-inflation act. it really is amazing. it's so dumb.

here is what i don't understand. if something is such a superior product, it's so amazing, why does the government have to pay people money to buy it? >> steve: good point. you can see charles with a lot of good points every afternoon 2:00 p.m. eastern weekdays on fox business with his show "making money" or if he were doing it in d.c. it would be "spending money." >> charles: yeah. see you. [laughter] >> steve: he was that close to saying something but he just edited himself.

>> ainsley: tonight is the annual congressional baseball game and climate activists are preparing toe protest this family friendly event. >> steve: terrific. one activist writing a op-ed in the "the washington post" quote as the world burns congress remains ready to remain perfectly hitless on climate change and as if playing games with the atmosphere weren't enough, these same members of congress now want to play a literal game of baseball on jule fine. >> brian: i thought they were contentious glueing themselves to the mona lisa. kat cammack, congressman roger williams and congresswoman kat cammack are there with you, carley, to get their reactions to all this controversy and fun. >> carley: yeah. that's absolutely right. we are playing baseball later. there is also a lot of news to get to because of these protests. congressman, you have been on the team since 2012. have you ever known the congressional baseball game a charity event to be protested? >> i don't understand it.

it is charity. forget party and political lines. $1.7 million to charity tonight. >> carley: amazing no. >> brainer. and why people want to go in and challenge that and take away from the greatness of that is beyond me. >> ainsley: 35 different local charities which is great. a bipartisan event. congresswoman, a lot of these protesters say that they are exercising their peaceful right to protest. which is fine. ors say that they are willing to get arrested to shut down the game entirely. what do you think about that? >> well, it's kind of like coach williams here said, nothing says you care like shutting down a charity game, right? especially one that is for kids and children, charities. you know, i have noticed the posters, they are flying all over the city. again, nothing says that you care about the environment like throwing paper all over the city. i think it's just looking for attention and it's going to be fine. we will have great night. we will have a lot of people. it's a sold out game.

we're excited. >> carley: i see the trophy in the background it's hear because the republicans won last year. >> we will take it home tonight and keep it until we see you next year. >> carley: how is the team looking. >> we are looking good. i'm proud of them. >> carley: you have been practicing since march. >> our first practice we had snow. >> carley: major commitment. >> 5:30 in the morning. >> carley: being a lawmaker is taxing enough. why add this on? >> because we care. >> carley: it's fun, right? >> 5:30 to 7:00 every morning i'm proud of everybody. >> carley: you start out with "fox & friends first," right? and then you have "fox & friends" when you come back from practice naturally. why did you want to join the team? last year was your first year on the team, right? >> that's the question i asked, too. >> that's what i asked myself. why did i want to join join this team. it's fantastic one to build these relationships that camaraderie with your colleagues. it is truly the best way to build relationships. and this entire congressional experience is all about

relationships. plus, when you are playing for a guy like roger williams who is so passionate about it and it's just infectious. hard not to get excited about the game. >> carley: you played professional baseball. >> atlanta braves, cleveland indians. baseball is a big part of my life. >> carley: bringing talents to washington, d.c. teaching the masses. tried to teach me one year how to swing a bat. didn't go over too well. i don't know about that either. i thought that your career was going to end right then and there you quit trying to teach me. is there any camaraderie between the republican team and the democrat team? >> there is. we have a lot of friends on each team. we have fun needling each other and so forth. manager doyle, who is the manager of the democrats and i are good buddies. we have fun making fun at each other. at the end of the day we are back to one thing, charity, helping kids and those who need it. >> carley: great example of bipartisan. you heard it here. they are very confident that this trophy right behind. i hope can you see it i don't know if you can.

>> steve: there we go. >> carley: can i touch it and wring it over. >> you can't drink out of it. [laughter] >> carley: it is heavier than i expected. they are confident that it's staying with the republicans. steve. are you guys confident, too? the whole team is behind the camera can i get a woo? >> ainsley: i love what you are doing this morning. you are having a congresswoman and a congressman on and they are always dressed in their uniforms. this is like the third hit i have seen where you are doing this. >> carley: isn't it great? >> brian: did you have time to ask them their preferred pronoun? >> carley: brian wants do know your preferred pronouns, is it tricky? we have a skipper and a patriot. i like that. >> brian: i like that. i did not know that was a pronoun. that's good. >> if is now we make up all the rules. >> steve: congressman carley and thank you for joining. you will be able to watch the congressional baseball game on

teachers spirit murder black children and let's not forget keeping kids masked up. and for all of this, weingarten earns more than half a million dollars a year on average that's 8 times a teacher's salary. fox news contributor lara trump joins you now. lara, what's your reaction? she is in charge of the second largest union and that effects our children. >> it does. i mean, it's terrible that she is -- this is her eighth time being reelected now ainsley. she has about 1.7 million teachers in this union that she controls and she is pretty clearly told us over the past several years we have seen who randy weingarten is. don't forget, she was one of the people that wanted to the keep schools shut down during covid despite the science telling us that schools could safely reopen. now, when the schools were actually reopened, she wanted masking. she is a big advocate for masking our children, no matter what, despite what science says.

at this time. >> ainsley: murdering in spirit? >> i don't understand what that means. instead of meeting basic proficiencies like reading and math. this is what is being focused on and you very clearly see randy weingarten cares about herself and far left agenda. she does not care about the kids and no parents should be forced to send their kids to a school that is failing them and unfortunately, that is what we have seen happen with these teachers unions. don't forget, it wasn't her teacher's union but it was another one who told the doj they ought to label parents going to domestic terrorists that's exactly what happened. they we would a lot of power. >> ainsley: offer to a daughter of a school teacher and sister of a school teacher to think that teachers are labeling certain kids and killing their spirit. my sister and my mom loved every single child that they taught. lara, we have got go thank you so much for coming on. e days a month, each lasting 4 hours or more

were -- a number of people were gunned down by that guy who. >> ainsley: i know. >> steve: he just showed up and started shooting. he wanted to shoot as many republicans as possible. >> ainsley: they raised $1.5 million for charity for boys and girls clubs of d.c., nationals dreams foundation, washington literacy center and u.s. capitol police memorial fund. >> brian: all for a good cause and they really compete. today president biden is set to talk with his counterpart in china. i know, a lot at stake. the call comes amid rising tensions between the two nations over, especially over this. house speaker nancy pelosi's trip to taiwan, jacqui heinrich joins us live right now from the white house. jacqui? >> hey, good morning to you, brian, steve and ainsley. sources tell fox it's very clear pelosi is going to taiwan. she invited the g.o.p. chair of the foreign affairs committee, congressman michael mccaul to accompany her but mccaul's office says brent mcinvited. he believes speaker or any other

american official should be able to visit taiwan if they would like. to say china has warned though, we have repeatedly made clear our firm opposition to speaker pelosi's potential visit to taiwan if u.s. insists on making the visit and challenges china's red line it will be met with resolute counter measures. the u.s. must assume full responsibility for any serious consequence arising thereof. strongly worded statement from the foreign minister there. now, this trip, which would be the first by a u.s. speaker in 25 years, has created a tense back drop against the other focus of the president's call, potentially lifting tariffs on china to ease inflationary pressures, the pandemic, of course, and supply chain concerns. and russia's war on ukraine. some officials worry though that the pelosi trip might loom large with the best outcome being hopes to avoid a confrontation. the white house is not detailing what's on the agenda. >> south china seas issues. i was wondering if we could also

expect him to be bringing up issues regarding fentanyl exports from china and regarding the origins of covid-19. >> they are big issues. no argument. i think we will give you a -- when the call is over. i don't want to go into any more details. >> a split in the white house whether president biden should lift tariffs on china. the current rate 19.3% as opposed to around 3% on goods from other countries. but other studies suggest that lifting these tariffs would only moderately bring down prices in the consumer price index by a little over three tenths of a percentage point. so it's still an ongoing debate and we have not been told what the decision on the issue is going to be. >> steve: they will give us the read out afterwards. jacqui, reports from the north lawn. the white house will not say whether or not the president is going to bring up covid, the origins of covid. at love people think it started in china. it has killed. >> brian: everybody thinks it started in china. >> steve: the people in china say it started here.

is fentanyl. chinese fentanyl killed 100,000 americans in the last year. these are two things that are killing americans every day. the president has got to bring up concerns about both. >> ainsley: do you think he will? >> steve: do you know whether a? >> brian: never does. >> steve: for a while, it sounded like he did not bring up the covid origins, in january, you know, he said i brought it up with him. we talked about it keep in mind, it was in march the president had a three and a half hour virtual summit with xi. today we don't know how long it's going to be or the format. there is plenty on their plate. >> it's like khashoggi. remember when he met with the saudi arabians and then the crowned prince and people were wondering are you going to talk about khashoggi? khashoggi's widow said he had promised he would. we don't really know what happened behind closed doors if he did. >> brian: one thing for sure is it's too bad leader mccaul

could not or ranking member mccaul could not go on this trip. some other republican should go. they have go. because right now taiwan is under threat. they are an ally of ours. i know about one china policy. i get it. but there is no doubt about it we do have divorce on the ground, military advisers on the ground. no doubt about it we know the type of weapons that would keep them safe from chinese invasion. there is concern from china's perspective as they watch the russians struggle because they haven't had a real fight in decades. and they wonder can our guys fight? if they wanted to take taiwan? well, one thing we didn't do with ukraine is give them the proper equipment to make the russians think they would have a real deterrent, they invaded then we get them military equipment. we have to get those defense weapons. in pelosi has got to go meet with them and find out exactly what they need and find out how they are going to be deployed. send message it's not okay to invade the neighbor. island resort end up militarizing them. they can't do this. if we back out now, believe it or not, what the pentagon wants

pelosi to do ask back out. that means that china has a say in our foreign policy flat out unacceptable. ages ages she is not announcing whether or not it's a definite trip because it's just a possibility nancy pelosi going to taiwan but yesterday we played you that soundbite of joe rogan and had me thinking all day yesterday. >> steve: about tiktok. >> ainsley: if you download tiktok if you read fine print they have access to anything on your phone. if you saved a picture of your passport, a picture of your license or any passwords that you might have on your phone, they can see all of that, your credit card number. that kind of thing. do you want them to have all that control? then they are buying up all this land in america, land around our military bases which is very scary. governor kevin sith republican from oklahoma. weighs on with sean last night talking about why this is all a concern. >> we all the should be concerned about the communist party and what they are doing and where they are purchasing land and what's the purpose behind it. you have got to really ask yourself.

you know that the communist party is monitoring everything their citizens do. so i -- we would be fools to think that they are not monitoring what's happening in the u.s. and strategically planting spies or whatever their alternative motives have. we need to control our own food supply like we need to control our own energy supply and meet the demands of americans with our own resources and when we sell our assets away, and we plant or we use other foreign governments to supply our needs in america, that's a national security issue for us and something that need to be taken seriously. i don't see the biden administration doing anything about it. >> steve: see, when you want to sell property, whether it's house or farmland or whatever. you just want to sell it now, when you look at the numbers over the last year, chinese citizens have bought up $6 billion worth of property in the united states. the top state is california followed by new york, indiana, and florida combined tie for third place. overall, florida is the number

one spot for foreign buyers in the united states and down there, ron desantis calls it a huge problem. he says he would like to impose foreign taxes on these foreign buyers to keep them from buying. will in 2020, 40% of the ownership growth was in oklahoma, texas, and colorado. and that's why the governor of oklahoma was actually in that soundbite on a horse talking to sara carter who was also right there. >> brian: keep in mind, too. this is a national security issue. the administration taking it forward. governor desantis is speaking out about it as governor of florida. why should the governor of florida be taking the lead on this? >> steve: because the president isn't. >> brian: it's just goes to show you if somebody who is up to his ears with issues says this is a major problem in our country, you would think it is even though california is their number one destination. just another note. on the pandemic, that the wuhan lab thrust on the world, wuhan

has now shut down a million people. so it's coming -- the variant is coming all the way back around shutting down china again, which they deserve to be suffering from this, i get it but it also affects the supply chain because it was so intermingled with that country. >> ainsley: this poll is amazing. it's a cnn poll. they were asking democrats who should be nominated for 2024? should it be joe biden? look at this? three out of every four democrats said they should choose a different candidate. >> brian: doesn't it look like we just told them the news? looks so glum in that shot? >> ainsley: 25% like him. only 25% of the democrats say he should be the nominee. be. >> steve: look at younger democrats people under 45, 82% say no, no to joe. only 31% of people over 45 say they want more joe. then you look at what is going on with the university of new hampshire poll, which we cited earlier in the week. that's pretty much on point with this. they say 74% say don't run and,

in fact, the secretary of transportation pete buttigieg is actually beating joe biden in new hampshire. the press secretary karine jean-pierre was asked about these dismal polls showing her boss underwater in a big way and had this observation about how the next election is a long time from now. >> new poll showing 57% want the party to nominate somebody other than joe biden as the nominee. what does the president make of that. >> i mean, we are not worried about polls. of 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 thinking about that. >> steve: not worried about polls. they should be. >> brian: they should be. especially because there is a lot of politicians on the

democratic side running from him. think about this. tim ryan, i don't really know if president trump -- i'm not going to commit to president biden supporting him. senator warnock, i'm not really keeping track on how the president is doing. so now for the democrats to be hopeful about an election in a tough state, they are making sure they are not associated with the sitting president. i could see that in the last year of a lame duck year george w. bush situation but a year and a half in? >> ainsley: i will say when aoc was asked about it. she did answer the question i will support whoever the democratic nominee is why wouldn't all the others say that too they are like i don't want to answer the question. i don't want to answer the question whether joe should run again. >> steve: poison. you have mentioned it. our editors have gone together in the back room to slap together a bunch of respond bites to make your point. here is a montage. >> do you support the president in his re-election bid? >> i'm working on my own election, and that's all i'm focused on right now. we can chat about that after i win and get in the united states

senate i will be happy to comment. >> i don't want to answer that question. he is the president. he has the right to run for a second term, absolutely. but i don't want to -- i don't want i-i would rather you not do that. >> the president chooses to run again in 2024, i mean, first of all, i am focused on winning the majority right now. and preserving a majority this year in 2022. so we will cross that bridge when we get to it, but, i think if the president has a vision and that's something certainly we are all willing to entertain and examine. >> ainsley: but not being able to say it will be joe biden has to make them all a little uneasy. >> steve: sure, absolutely. >> brian: aoc will be old enough. >> steve: she is right now. >> brian: she is the queen of queens and some people think she is the most popular person in queens. >> ainsley: so much popular legislation. >> brian: i think she is writing it now if you listen closely. >> steve: according to cnn poll 75% of democrats want somebody else in the same poll 55%. >> brian: glum shot again. >> steve: 55% of republicans or

people leaning republican want somebody other than donald trump to run. that's up 6% from their earlier poll. >> brian: and if the former president is watching, you should know those are just the numbers you are relaying. you didn't come up with those numbers. >> steve: cnn came up with that ainsley said this was a fascinating poll. it is. that's why we just talked about it. >> brian: they are right as often as hali's can comet comes by. >> steve: you are saying all we talked about for the last four minutes is not accurate? >> ainsley: that's a cnn poll. >> brian: donald trump is watching. if donald trump is watching. just let him know we didn't come up with that number. that's what the poll said. >> steve: absolutely. >> steve: i was talking to a pollster. >> ainsley: it's too soon to tell. so many different polls and all say different things but the majority of the democratic polls do say the majority of democrats want a different candidate. >> brian: didn't you just sample 360 people?

about -- 362 registered voters. >> ainsley: not a big group. >> brian: not exactly 340 million. i'm sure some scientist would make sense of that. >> ainsley: ashley, hard to believe in a few months someone might be putting their name in the hat to say i want to run for president so we are very close to the midterms. we anticipate people will make that announcement after the midterms. >> ashley: probably. that's the best bet. i will leave it at that good morning to you guys. >> ainsley: good morning. >> ashley: we are going to start with a fox weather alert. flash floods washing away cars and trapping people inside of their homes across kentucky. this is new video from hazard, tennessee. that's in the southeastern part of the state. local meteorologists calling this one worst flash flood event ever the state has ever seen as much as 6 inches of rain fell in some parts of the state over the last 24 hours. can you monitor the latest in kentucky and in your area on the fox weather app. that state has taken a hard hit as far as weather.

[shouting] [bleep] [shouting] >> run, run, run. [bleep] >> brian: how can we prepare officers for these types of scenarios, tim kennedy the ceo of sheep dog responds. ranger, sniper and prargt ufc fighters joins us now stars and stripes chronicles all of that in tim's career. first off, on the scenario in the subway. what did the 49-year-old do wrong against the 16-year-old? what was the first mistake? >> the first mistake was lack of training. we can break down what happened in the video, but, the success and failure in moments like that, it doesn't actually happen in the moment.

what really leads up to success lots of training before hand. millions of little decisions about how often you are training, how healthy and fit you are. how strong you are. your level of technique. those are the things that are going to determine whether you are going to win or lose, whether you are going to survive or you are going to die in situations like that. when your job is to protect and preserve the public. when you are not trained, and you are not fit and you are not in shape and you don't know the techniques about how to apprehend somebody or get out of a chokehold, what use are you to society? >> brian: they always say don't lose. you have to win when you put your hands on somebody. they don't tell you how. how much training does the average man on woman need to go through in jujitsu or just combat in order to be successful -- have the best chance of being successful out there on the streets? >> it takes a few hours a week i train about 10 to 12 hours a week. it's not just about being

successful. it's actually about preserving and protecting life. if you are the stop gap, you are that bridge between violence, anarchy, chaos or death your job is to be able to protect those behind you and even protect the person that you are maybe trying to arrest. but if you don't have the tools and you have to use escalation of force, to get them into cuffs and your escalation is pepper spray, taser or shooting them or in that case being totally ineffective, then what use are to you the society that you are supposed to be serving. >> brian: what about the crowd gathering around that outnumbers the two cops who has a suspect and the crowd tries to overpower you? in a situation like that, you say that's not unique these days. >> it is not. it's happening more and hopping on. it is actually a trained specific technique by antifa and the far left about how they are going to respond when police officers are trying to capture somebody at riots. non-peaceful protests. and it is happening very, very frequently. there are techniques to counter

it. but, you know, when i tell officers that are coming into our training, i tell them that no help is coming. no one is coming to save you. no one is going to fight for you. you have to prepare for that. if you are prepared for it, you being alone and you having to respond to situation like that, like the mindset and the trainings and the techniques and the way that you walk into the training room every single day is going to be different. train as if you are going to be the hardest person to kill and somebody is always trying to kill you and if you train for that. it makes every single day easy. but nobody is training like that. society and culture we have been aemasculating our police officers. the defund the police movement has absolutely gutted any form of funding police training city councils are taking away any single opportunity and every technique and training course that these officers should be going to. they are just getting them and then culture is even worse backing it. so, it's time for us to support our police officers to hold bad actors accountable for the bad mistakes and get police officers

the real training that they need to prevent things like uvalde and what we just saw in that video from happening. >> brian: other thing, too a lot of times enjoyable. it's not drudgery. once you start with jujitsu i know people just don't want to stop let alone being demanded to take it the other thing is without qualified immunity that's gone in new york. separate a guy's shoulder, you hurt them. you get them in a restraining hold, they say it's a chokehold. next thing you know you are being sued. you are not making a ton of money. that's the scenario that hurts officers when they have to put their hands on somebody. correct? >> yeah, you are absolutely right. it's ignorance about those policies that are being put into place. >> brian: of course. >> what city council member has actually been in a fight or been down on the street trying to deal with these criminals, these drug addicts and then you are taking all the tools to allow police to be successful. but then you are not punishing the bad actors for the crimes they are taking. taking away all the protection that a police officer who does not make any money who barely has enough money to survive or

pay for training go out and do his job effectively is idiotic and moronic and not in a sustainable trajectory for our law enforcement. we will see more problems like that and less unless we the people start addressing people and vote people into office that will change policies like this. >> brian: congratulations you not only did not surprise me by your knowledge of one-on-one training but did you surprise me how you put on a blazer and tie and gelled back your hair for this segment. i didn't know you had that for you. pick up his book "stars and stripes." appreciate it. >> yeah. >> brian: clarence thomas steps down from position at george washington law after months of uproar and what does this teach the future attorneys of america? george washington professor jonathan turley weighs. in plus, tomorrow, we the kingdom take to fox square stage for the all-american summer concert series. head to foxandfriends.com for free v.i.p. tickets and then we

following months of backlash from the high court's decision on roe v. wade. an email from the school says thomas is unavailable. comes after thousands of students signed a petition asking to remove him as a member of the faculty. gw law professor jonathan turley joins us right now. jonathan, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: so we don't know for sure why he is gone but there was that petition it looks like he got pushed out. >> as you say the university to its credit refused to fire justice thomas said he could teach the course. looking forward to protests in the fall. campaign is continuing to get him to leave the campus. many will celebrate this result. you know, part of these cancel campaigns is not just to force a termination but to really exsaws

people to get them to cancel themselves. that's particularly the case with tenured faults. people are shunned and isolated and stigmatized to the point that they just throw in the towel. >> steve: sure. but, ultimately, and you know, you are a professor, ultimately, he is just there to teach the law. apparently they don't like him because he was on the supreme court at the time of roe v. wade and then, you know, they tried to cancel him. and essentially he decided be but they -- it worked. >> well, this is a huge loss for our students and for our law school. he has taught this course for over a decade. he had a reputation of caring deeply about students, supporting them. but he not only had historic role on the court and still does, but he has a life story that is one of the most inspiring in the history of the supreme court. this is a justice who grew up in

a one room house dirt floor he spoke gola. he raised himself up abject poverty and become one of nine on our highest court. that's an incredible person to have as your teacher and we have now lost him. >> steve: you have been lucky to be in that case. we remember the guy who came from california to kill brett kavanaugh. he was in front of his house. he had the tools in his backpack to do it and now according to an fbi search warrant application, it sounds like this guy made it very clear he was trying to kill the conservative majority in the supreme court. here is part of an online conversation he said i'm going to stop roe v. wade from being overturned. another riewfer said what are you trying to do? he said remove some people from the supreme court according to

google how to be stealthy, assassin skills. most effective place to stab somebody and reagan assassination attempt. jonathan, regardless of what his defense attorneys say it looks like he showed up, he flew across the country to kill that guy and kill more people. this obviously goes to premeditation and motive. sandy's chilling message to those who are fueling this type of violence with reckless rhetoric. there is a certain per ten damage of people out there who are unhinged and unstable. they hear this rhetoric in a different way. so people are putting bounties on the heads of these justices asking people to tell them where they are in restaurants. and you wonder about people like justice thomas who was looking forward to teaching a class with these protests when you come in close contact with some of these people, it's dangerous. and someone is going to get hurt. and the problem i have with many

people on the left is there has been a relatively mild response to this rhetoric. you know, we have got to stand together and say enough, we need to respect the diversity of opinions on the court and at our university. >> steve: you are right about that. jonathan, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. >> steve: all right. 21 minutes better the top of the hour. let's head back out to nationals park where carley shimkus is alive ahead of the annual congressional baseball game. carley? >> steve, that's right. yes. i'm with congressman brad wenstrup house minority whip steve scalise. five years since the shooting at the congressional baseball practice. we will be talking about that. a lot going on in washington. we will be covering it all when "fox & friends" returns after this message. ♪ we are the champions ♪ we are the champions ♪ no time for losers ♪ or active psoriatic arthritis and... take. it. on.

tourniquet to stop the bleeding i wouldn't have made it to the hospital. he was one of my heroes. >> i was fortunate for some reason i changed my mind to go to the batting cage instead of the outfield i wasn't trapped on the field. and i could see the shooter. i could see steve and where the capitol police were. that was very fortunate. all i kept thinking was keep my eye on steve, get to him as soon as you can. it was very eerie sight to see one person on the field and steve laying there. >> carley: could have been much different you could have been alongside him by the grace of god you were in a safe location. when the shooting stopped you could get to him and save his life. >> i had to move once shooter moving. he was shooting down my lane where i was on the other side of the field. but once i had the chance, got tout steve, and assessed him just like i did in iraq, you know, when you have wounded coming in, and actually his case reminded me of one in iraq. and so, i knew right away that he was in much more trouble than people thought because they only saw the entry wound and i was

able to visualize what was going on inside and take care of him. >> carley: a situation where time slows down for you as it was all playing snout i can't imagine what that moment must have been like. >> it was very strange. maybe because of a year in iraq under the heavy fire all the time that i was just pretty normal about things. felt natural and just went to work. but i was deeply concerned and fortunately some of the things i said to the medics before they took him away they -- it registered that he was in worse shape than most people thought. >> carley: god put you there for a reason. >> yep. >> carley: how are you feeling right now. >> feeling great. it's been a long road to recovery. but god performed miracles that day putting brad there. david bailey and crystal griner were capitol police both shot during the shootout and ultimately took the shooter down to save all of us who were there. >> carley: you share a unique bond with those people now. >> yeah. they are just like family. >> carley: really? you keep in touch. >> dave is still on my team. crystal is still with capitol

police and we talk on a regular basis. on the anniversary of the shooting we always talk just about that shared experience and, you know, how lucky we all are that we still get to be with our family. do the things we love. and could have turned out very different. >> carley: never take a moment for granted. >> never take it for granted. >> he is tough. i mean, everything -- i know everything he went through surgically and all of that. and, look, he is out here playing baseball. no pain, nothing. >> carley: baseball next year. you made incredible play. >> again, that was a god moment. if you don't believe in michelles, talk to me because i will show you a lot. >> carley: you should write a book. >> wrote a book called miracles. >> carley: get the book. love it you guys won last year do you think there is going to be a repeat performance this year as i'm looking at congressman steube. is he in the dugout right now. he hit that home run. >> he hit the first home run out of the big league ballpark in this game. >> ainsley: that was unexpected. >> joe biden was actually in the

speak to an uptick in shark attacks off of long island has beachgoers on edge but this morning, we are breaking down the fact versus fiction why more and more of these attacks are popping up. we have mike, who is a marine ecologist specializing in shark behavior at florida international university and he joins us now. good morning to you, mike. >> good morning. >> ainsley: lets go through some of these questions we have about shark attacks to see if they are factual or fiction. the first one is humans aren't intended targets of shark attacks. is that true or false, fact or fiction? >> that is a fact. the vast majority of bites, the sharks are making mistake especially off long island. there are nonlife-threatening amp they think it might be a fish. we are not really on the menu and these are mistakes. even the most shark bikes are

not life-threatening. speed to do even taste good to the shark? i know it is hard to know that. >> we haven't done taste tests but you see usually one little nip and they go away. that would suggest that we don't taste that good and we are not on the menu. >> ainsley: if you see a dolphin usually we heard sharks are not in the area and they will not be in the area if you see dolphins. is that fact or fiction? >> that is a big fiction because we have sharks and dolphins lean on the same fish school. if you see dolphins, there may be sharks and they don't always attack and drive away sharks. dolphins are at risk from sharks. if you see dalton's, you have to be worried that sharks might still be there. >> ainsley: sharks are the most dangerous thing at the beach? >> that is another big fiction. in the u.s. especially, there are many things that are more dangerous than sharks,

rip currents, just the conditions themselves, so whenever you go to the beach be aware of local conditions and listen to local advice. >> ainsley: how about this when, more than 60% of shark bites occur in low liz ability water. >> that one is true and most with turbine waters. so if you are worried about sharks is not go swimming in turbine waters. you can swim sunrise and sunrise avoid because if you see a big school of fish where sharks might be feeding, stay away from that too. >> ainsley: i know at the beach the shark capital of the world the way the waters come together in florida but in long island we are not used to sing as many sharks. why do we see them all of a sudden? >> it is always hard to know why when you're an uptick, but we have warm waters that can bring the sharks in. we've had successful conservation measures for the sharks food, the fish they eat and the sharks themselves.

most of the world, sharks are in real trouble. but this could increase shark numbers, but still nowhere near where they used to be. as we get more sharks, that means we will have healthier oceans. we want sharks where we can live with them. >> ainsley: all right, if you say so. thank you so much, mike, florida international university the final hour of "fox & friends" starts right now, get over here, brian. >> brian: gdp will come out 8:30 and if it is a recession, we will call it recession. >> recession is not a negative quarter of gdp. >> joe manchin surrender to the democrats and revise social spending bill back better program. a multibillion-dollar giveaway to the richest american on both sides of the aisle. >> a substantial proposal on the table. >> and offered to russia to release paul whalen and britney. and they have offered to swap the arms trafficker. >> neighborhoods in kentucky are

underwater as heavy rain turns roads into river. >> roads trapping people inside their own house. >> live at the national park ahead of the congressional baseball game. >> we are confident it is staying with the republicans. ♪ ♪ >> brian: it was 1972 when the washington senators said i'm tired of washington, d.c., and i'm going to texas. he became a texas ranger. but then he came back. in the term of the washington nationals and they won a world series championship. and then there is today the congressional baseball game will take place in about eight hours. and the first pinch is coming up shortly. i cannot believe how early these men and women are practicing getting ready for the game. >> ainsley: they want to win. >> brian: they don't want to pull anything, right? you don't want to wrap yourself.

>> ainsley: the older we get, easier. >> steve: the icy hot, and they also have that sleeve you put on, those compression sleeves. what do they call, copper? >> ainsley: what do they do? they have medicine and it? >> steve: a medicinal way of smoothing your tendons. i have a feeling after tonight's game there will be agile consumed, and been there before, just some beer. carley shimkus has been there before and she's there as well. you know, carley, last year the republicans won in one of the reasons why is because before that, years passed, -- >> brian: what is happening? >> steve: the years passed a great picture by senator richman any wound up going to the white house as an advisor so he can't play in the game and the republicans won.

>> that is right. as you can tell, a lot of activities and people running on the fields appear that is why this is so much fun to be here. they were so much action. you get to meet the lawmakers, mingle and everyone is in a good mood. steve, you are right i was saying the republican team got better. another reason why they won and another reason for the democrat team got worse. two dueling reasons and they say they will try to do a repeat performance. congressman said out of the park home run last year as well, which usually doesn't happen at a congressional baseball game. he said he is open. there could be a second showing with the performance. we will have to wait and see, guys, later today. >> steve: it will be on fox nation. carley will be back to interview people in tonight's big show. >> ainsley: don't start watching at 7:00. it happens at 7:05.

>> brian: exactly, the pregame show. meanwhile today the president of the united states will get numbers about gdp. we know it was negative growth in last quarter and two back-to-back negative quarters means we are in a recession. i'm sorry, i was thinking about the old rules over the years. the new definition is:it will be a recession and we are not in a recession regardless of what the numbers are and things will be revised anyway. >> steve: that's right. and in fact yesterday, the white house we are about to play the sound bite. the white house again tried to move the goalpost but the white house correspondent says, "hey, the guy in charge of the numbers at the white house, he said it different once upon a time." here is the is the back-and-forth with the correspondent and the press secretary. >> we understand recession to be two consecutive quarters of gdp in a row and you have

white house officials saying, no, note that is not what recession is but something else. how is that not redefining? >> that is not the definition here that is not the definition. in 2008, economists have a technical definition, which is a recession which is two consecutive quarters of negative growth. >> i can tell you this -- >> two negative quarters of gdp growth is not the technical definition of a recession. >> it is not the technical definition of recession is not, is not two negative quarters of gdp. >> steve: historically it has been. technically, eight economists at the national bureau of economic research, they will determine it whether or not it is a recession. but they take their time here or they may not do it for months. the recession could be over by the time they get around to it. we know historically to quarters back-to-back negative growth recession will have the number and 25 minutes. if it is a negative number, we

will call it what it is, a recession. >> ainsley: i think america thinks we are in a recession because inflation is above 9%, 9.1%. if you got a pay raise, if you got a pay raise, a few percentage points if at all. so the discrepancy is too great. you are not making as much money -- >> steve: you are losing -- >> ainsley: as inflation goes up, compared to last year, last june compared to this june come almost 60%. airfare up more than 34%, serial 15%, meat and poultry more than 10%, fruit and veggies more than a percent, used cars more than 7% just to name a few. >> brian: what happens is we put too much money in the system after the pandemic and people went back to work and they pump money in the system. and inflation got higher. the problem with the president's new definition in the white house new definition of what a recession is, in the face of what they said in the past in

2008 brandy when he worked for the clintons, excuse me, the oba administration, of course, a definition of recession which is two consecutive quarters of negative growth. that is brian who is trying to tell us that is the old brian. >> ainsley: why did he say this in 2008 but then change on tuesday? >> steve: politics. they are under water and they have to spin it as best as i can. here's the thing, brian, you mentioned that spinning over the last years because of covid has impacted the inflation number and the federal reserve last year said that about half, 3% when at 6% of inflation was because of all the spending. and that we are on the verge of the federal government about to spend another half a trillion dollars. it is because essentially joe manchin caved. he said -- he had said last week

and i have to wait until i see the inflation number, but yesterday he struck a deal with chuck schumer. here is the thing, this came hours after the senate passed the chips act which was $280 billion just to get some chips built in this country. mitch mcconnell says republicans would not block it provided the democrats did not try to pass this tax and climate bill. right after he said that, chuck schumer and joe manchin came out and they say, "you know what, we have a deal." and essentially a raise, $740 billion with the new taxes and it will have about half a trillion dollars in new spending, largely on climate. >> ainsley: so he caved, right question work >> steve: he caved. >> ainsley: rand paul is saying raising the taxes will make the recession problem even worse. you have conservative lawmakers that are saying adding more spending is just throwing more fuel on the inflation fire. we are talking about a 15%

minimum corporate tax now. we are talking about billions of dollars for climate change and energy security. and we probably are in a recession. we will know in about 20 minutes? whether in a recession and we will get that quarterly number for you. it is not the right time to spend money, money we don't have. we are already in that. we are already spending way too much. our interest rates are going up which means if you try to buy a house or get a credit card or a student loan, the interest rates have gone up for every individual. you are paying more at the gas pump, and they want to pump more money into this. what are they calling it, brian, inflation reduction bill? >> brian: here is what joe manchin said, i propose we will vote for the inflation reduction act of 2022 instead of risking with new spending. this bill will cut inflation taxes the americans are paying to lower the cost of health insurance by spending more and prescription drugs. to ensure our country invest in

energy security and climate change solutions. they will offer a offer subsidies to buy electric cars or convert to green energy. >> ainsley: how do you feel about this because you've been a champion? we when i could not be more disappointed. they have 15% corporate minimum tax which they say would bring $313 billion. keep your eye on this, they will ask the irs to start going after people again with tax enforcement. they expect $124 billion. the last thing you want to do in this scenario, i thought, weaponize the irs again after we watched louis lerner and irs to target people that didn't politically agree within president obama which most with the tea party people. can you imagine who they will target, this administration from what we have seen? what they will be doing? they will spend a lot of money, and there is a lot of headlines with nothing underneath it. for example, green energy options?

water green energy options? when you say backup, this is in bus strategy? all the details are going to make or break this. >> steve: the most part the timing makes joe manchin look like he's not being candid two weeks ago when at the end of summer to find out where inflation is. and it looks like they doublecrossed mitch mcconnell because mitch mcconnell said, the republicans will not block the chips to which past yesterday as long as the democrats didn't try to pass this tax and claimant change. but they did immediately afterwards. senator mcconnell went to twitter and said this, "democrats have crushed american families with historic inflation. now, they want to pilot giant tax hikes to hammer workers and kill many of thousands of american jobs. first they kill your budget and how they want to kill your job too." when you look we told you monday, it would be an avalanche of bad numbers for the

administration. on tuesday, the consumer confidence number came in and it was down. yesterday at the fed tightened interest rates to the tune of 75 basis points or three quarters of a point. today the gdb will come out and it will probably be more than 1% lower. when you look at all of those bad numbers and for them to suddenly pull a rabbit out of the hat, it looks like politics because the democrats given all the bad numbers, all the bad polling, they need a win before the november election. there is a portion of this new bill that lowers health care costs by allowing medicare to negotiate the prices of prescription drugs. people will see that and they will go, "hey, drugs are too much, that's good." they don't see the other stuff. >> ainsley: benefit the progression? witches joe biden biden wants to please these days. it is making taxes go up for corporations. the progressives are into that. billions of dollars for climate change and energy security and

progressives are into that. here is what charles heads mike had to say. the corporate welfare package $280 billion semiconductor industry is that they joe manchin said, okay i'm down for reconciliation, right? so washington again spending a ton of money and you want more people to buy you don't incentivize used one spirit of course, who will buy most of these. college educator folks who live in urban centers in 99% of democrats, progressives! this is a give away multibillion-dollar giveaway tomb multimillion americans on both sides of the aisle. people watching regular folks trying to make ends meet don't get squat. they call that deficit reduction action. almost as funny as affordable health care. call that the anti-inflation act. >> i will add to this, we talk the cinnamon, totally surprised when she heard about it

blindsided. no word with the current interest. so that in the past and what about those other senators and purple or red states that won? senator mark kelly. why would he vote for this? senator, why would she go for this? aunt senator in nevada, senator mastro, where would she go for this? a lot of senators out there assuming mansion was the problem, he was blocking other senators that didn't want or have the guts that he had. >> what they have done, what they have done is put that low prescription drug thing in there and that gives all the senators, brian that you were talking about a fig leaf and i vowed to lower your prescription drugs and never mind the fact that half a trillion dollars to spend for solar and wind. >> brian: into get away with that if your opponent is working. >> steve: let see what happens. meanwhile eight bulimic 15, antony blinken said the u.s. has

are sagging the white house, call somebody who cares. they don't care. what they keira about is the economy slowing and the prices arising and our national debt and the national output is greater than the national output. and isn't this special. here comes the united states senate, the democrats with a new tax and a new spending bill and a new welfare bill and a new green new deal will. and it's just sad. it gets frustrating. i don't hate anybody. i start out wanting to follow jesus and i'm going to follow jesus and slap somebody slap somebody. >> brian: i'm pretty sure that's not in the bible. >> it's in there somewhere. >> brian: i'm a little bit hopeful. there is a lot of people that want six more years and the senate and you're up for reelection and so was the

senator from nevada and so was the senator from arizona mark kelly. so these are all senators in trouble with a dead heat in the race. knowing that the spending is aiding recession and even people have said that. they are concerned about the energy bill as well as the gas prices. might they pull back? christian sentiment had no idea that joe manchin did this. she was surprised when a reporter told her this but is there a chance that democrats might stop this? i don't know. it is possible and i'm sure some democrats are going i'm up for reelection in 90 days you want me to raise taxes? which the american people have to pay for? so that will give pause. but the timing of the senator manchin he was no accident. >> brian: what do you mean? the democrats and some of my colleagues in the senate agreed

to support 400 or 390, 290, whatever it was. >> steve: 200 a.d. >> support the big tech and so they could not pass that bill without republican votes. so the democrats will basically, they suck my republican votes like a hoover deluxe and got their votes and bam announced this new tax increase. i don't think -- there aren't very many coincidences on capitol hill. i think the timing is exquisite. we look like a bunch of -- well, i'm not going to say what we look like. >> ainsley: senator, where you come up with these phrases because it is so colorful, the hoover vacuum. >> i've said that for years. i don't know. >> ainsley: maybe your mom or your dad -- >> i have the right to remain silent. and i say what i feel, you know, some of my colleagues call me

joe concha joins us now. joe, the economy is how you feel the economy but when it comes to numbers that used to be a layout and we know what a recession is. are we wrong or is the biden administration wrong? >> people feel inflation pole after poll 90% of americans are very concerned about inflation and says it affects the way they run their households. so you can play all these word games that you want, but we know now officially that we are in a recession with two straight quarters of negative growth has been that definition for whatever reason. it is changing and meanwhile now, we are seeing a spending bill that make it past, $700 billion. think about this, when inflation is approaching 10%, we will spend more money and then call it something like what, inflation reduction act? [laughter] how is that possible? >> ainsley: they will say it reduces. >> steve: we are in a recession back-to-back growth

and cnn, u.s. cross is a symbolic recession threshold. then it says, is a u.s. heading for a recession or are we already there? it almost doesn't matter! do you hear that, folks, it almost doesn't matter! >> brian: that is incredible. i'm sure the headline would be exactly that under the previous administration, right? no, of course not. you look back on the trump years and you really, really appreciate that economy when this president left office 1.4%. it is now six times that, right? we still have low unemployment rates, by the way and a gdp not in the negative. you can criticize trump for xyz, but boy, that was a good economy and didn't get the credit it deserved. >> ainsley: joe, there was a cnn poll speaking of cnn, 75% of democrats do not want out of the ones they polled do not want joe biden to run again. >> of course not. when you are at 31% approval in

23% approval among independents, those are the ones that decided that election 2020 in georgia, arizona, ohio, pennsylvania, wisconsin and when you have lost them and the first lady because the michael's on the taco base and 90% approval with hispanics, i don't see how you run again. the problem is what course do you run, gavin newsom who actually going after ron desantis in florida saying floridians, come to california where we have a higher unemployment rate, where we have severe homeless and crime problem and a major exodus from california to states like texas. because of taxes. >> brian: transition to the green new deal and gas stations. >> it is remarkable that he has great hair which he has that going for him. >> steve: which was not in your notes. but an important point. great to see you, joe. >> let's talk sports since

ainsley won't do that. >> ainsley: i will be happy to. >> steve: joe, you have to sit quietly because brian will interview somebody. >> brian: okay, take my camera pier at the beverly hills city council agrees to not enforce los angeles county's proposed indoor mask mandates as covid case has rights the mayor emphasizing the power of choice for parents. i hope the rest of the country is listening. mayor, thank you so much for doing this. is this a preemptive strike? >> absolutely. i put this on the agenda a few days before. and actually today is what we are going to hear. i really want to have a conversation with the community as to what they felt. i can tell you how i felt. i very much believe in the power of choice. i think we have learned a lot since 2020. and also became a function of enforcement. we have more important issues to

enforce in my opinion, then that counsel of opinion regarding mental wellness checks for the unhoused, keeping the streets in the park safe, and you know, basically no judgment. if somebody wants to wear a mask, wear a mask. if you feel vulnerable wear a mask and if you don't want to wear a mask, don't wear a mask. it became a function of where we putting our resource meant? beverly hills is under ellie county public health rules, but we in beverly hills don't have to use our enforcement to enforce it. so if l.a. county puts down this mandate, we felt they can go out and enforce it. >> brian: right, you have other things, crime is rising in every city in beverly hills and they are not immune to that. that is where they focus. the big picture, too, a variant changing so much even from the last time the kids were in school. we are getting hit by something different and the most vulnerable people who feel

vulnerable and in 95 mask, have at it. what do you hope the school system does? >> well i'm a beverly hills city council does not have jurisdiction over the school district. they are two governing bodies but i can tell you that we heard from many, many parents about how this really has affected the children's mental wellness. so, i believe the vote that we did have our counsel, i would expect might help inform the parents as well as the decision-makers in the school district as to what the community feels. so, if they were there, they were at the council meeting, i come on myself, have heard from many parents about how it has affected the children, absolute. >> brian: no kidding there is a downside and at least you are acknowledging it humbly in power

and i'm sure the people appreciate it given them the choice. mayor, have a great day. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> brian: in san diego, you have to wear a mask or some school or go home. >> ainsley: a lot of places in california and kentucky too. >> steve: for tomorrow will be the concert series and you don't have to wear a mask. if you would like to be in attendance and sign up for vip at >> bill: we say good morning. i'm bill hemmer. a ton to get to today. we waste no time. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." and this is exactly what the biden administration anticipated would happen. they tried to get in front of it with messaging but the numbers are the numbers. the gdp shrank by .9%. that has been the second consecutive quarter, which means that there -- >> bill: ongoing
