mclemores from master built are on our plaza and today there is john and his wife tanya and they are cooking for friends. what do you guys have cooking for us today on this friday? >> steve, ainsley, brian, thank you all so much for having us again. john is not here. so tonya is filling in. >> good morning. >> ainsley: good morning, tonya. >> we are going to bring y'all some amazing food. start out by showing you all what we are bringing in to y'all at 7:00 a pork crown roast. check this out right here. you. >> doesn't that look great? >> our friends at prairie fresh have brought us amazing pork and we have turned that into a crowned pork roast for y'all. it is also, tonya, what day is it. >> today is national chicken wing day. millions and millions of pounds of wings have been cooked and served. these are always amazing. we can't wait for y'all to try them. >> this is how we are preparing all the wings for y'all this

morning. we have smoked them on the master built gravity series grill. steve, you will love this recipe. because this is how you season them. get you that good burnt end. so the mclemore boys are thought mclemore girls. >> got to represent. >> bringing it y'all. >> steve: when you guys start smoking the meat and whatnot on a big day, what's the earliest you have gotten up? because in our first cookbook we had a recipe from mike huckabee and i would have to get up at 4:00 in the morning just to start the smoker. >> really depends on the recipe, steve. sometimes we never go to bed. we literally stay up all night long but what's been so fun about the recipes that we do with this grill, you can put the food on, go to bed, come back in the morning and it's kind of just waiting on you because we have got technology now that allows you to smoke and grill

and sear and griddle with one product. >> steve: technology. >> ainsley: john behind every successful man is an amazing, beautiful woman, right? >> rolling her eyes. >> ainsley: how many kids? >> we have three. >> brian: great news as a couple. >> steve: we know one of them. >> brian: going to smell the same. he is not going to walk in and say you smell like work. now you both exactly will smell like work. >> we always have an interesting smell in our hair and clothes for sure nature of what we do. today is john boy's 30th birthday. that's why he is not here today july 2 #th national chicken wing day. i feel like we need to do the chicken wing dance. >> ainsley: planned that perfectly. >> and our grandson it's his birthday, too. >> thank you all. we had brook and bailey that were here. we are going to fire the mclemore boys and have the girls. >> all about girls sometimes.

>> ainsley: if brian has a good shampoo. >> brian: it's called gee, your hair smells terrific. >> all right. thanks, guys. >> steve: tonya, get cooking and we will have the big reveal at 7:00 eastern time 54 minutes from right now. >> brian: there is a few stories that we have covered just about every day and we could cover every hour and every segment. >> ainsley: recession, inflation and the border. >> brian: what this administration has done in quest to be the exact opposite of president trump. letting everybody in. word went out caribbean, africa through the ukraine. if you come through the border you will get. in immigration system will be lengthy and have to take tests and pay fees. so they have stormed through our system. they have blown up the border patrol. they have forced them off the border. only 30% are there and if you look at how many people have

come across illegally, it's to the tune of 800,000 got-aways in over 4 million. and then you wonder not only are they actually overrunning the border towns, they are also overrunning small and big cities across the country. some of which texas governor and arizona governors are so angry about what's happening at the border, they have actually sponsored and paid for with state dollars buses to load with immigrants who want to go to washington, d.c. so the administration can see front and center how bad the illegal immigrant system is. and, finally, these mayors, in new york city and d.c. are speaking out. >> steve: they are. and, we were just looking at some of -- a couple of the buses that it looked like unloaded, off loaded some of the migrants from our southern border in washington, d.c. on friday. now, we are going to tell you about -- you know it's been a problem for texas and arizona,

new mexico, people along the border. but now apparently it's a national emergency in washington, d.c. because 10 days ago, according to worc, the msnbc affiliate in washington i used to work at, mayor bowser, 10 days ago, sent a note to the defense secretary, lloyd austin, requesting the national guard show up in washington, d.c. she asked for 150 guardsmen to handle the arrival of what she described and here you can see some arriving last friday 4,000 migrants who arrived on 200 buses. now, according to the "new york post," arizona has sent on 33 buses 1263 migrants. texas did not respond. nonetheless, it's an emergency and she is calling out the guard. here's the mayor. >> we need space and we need the federal government to be involved. so i have asked for the deployment of the guard, as long as we need the guard, to deal

with the humanitarian crisis. that we expect to escalate. the number of people crossing the border seeking asylum, we expect to only go up. and we need to make sure that there's a national response, not an ad hoc city by city, state by state response. we know that the federal government does this. >> ainsley: we used to hear from only the arizona governor, only the texas governor, people who lived in that area. now we are hearing it from leaders arranged the country like mayor bowser because it's a problem in her city now. she is feeling what some of these other governors, just a small little smidgen of what they're feeling down in texas and arizona. >> steve: absolutely. >> ainsley: originally she championed accepting these migrants. it's human rights issue they should be able to come over. then two weekends ago she was complaining within one of the sunday shows about the surge in her city, the homeless shelters. she said that some of these

migrants she is fearing is being tricked into coming into d.c. now she realizes, we need help, this is a problem. they are packing our homeless shelters now we need national guard and she is asking the d.c. armory to be the processing. steve: one of the migrant buses. we assume it was sent by texas because the number of texas buses far outweighs arizona. let's see if these people when they come off are relieved because they have been tricked. >> steve: this looks like a family unit. a man and a child and a couple of children right there. >> brian: don't worry about it america is open to everybody. no paperwork no. idea if they are positive for covid. no idea what the deal is it's okay. >> steve: does this look like something you need to call the national guard out for? because, had the federal government taken care of things at our southern border and closed the southern border, they wouldn't be in texas. and arizona and they wouldn't be then bused to our nation's capitol.

there would not be a problem. >> ainsley: she was saying the federal government was going to cover it fema help with the homeless shelters. asking for the national guard so she doesn't have to use her officers. a volunteer at one of these organizations, one of these facilities that houses them, isaiah says we didn't see anyone from the mayor's office here helping us with these illegals. no one from the office of latino affairs was here to welcome them. they just want to wash their hands because it is seen as a hot potato. instead the mayor is tweeting out. i'm going to be cutting ribbons at the new affordable housing district. >> brian: unbelievable. governor greg abbott says this in response. d.c. has experienced a fraction of the disaster's impacts the border crisis has caused texas. mayor bowser stop attacking texas securing the border and demand joe biden do his job. that's how desperate this governor is to get the attention of the country. this is how bad things are getting. democratic mayors are now speaking up because they are so overrun and the negligence at 1600 pennsylvania avenue is beyond description.

peter asked the press secretary yesterday about this request of the national guard. where does this come from? and by the way on a side note. the way she treated the national guard when she had them, making them sleep in the streets. >> ainsley: parking lots, remember that? garages. >> they kicked them out of hotels they were supposed to stay in. now you want them because of your democratic president who refuses to enforce our border allowing security to run rampant? here is the exchange we probably want you to understand. >> is the president going to approve that request for the national guard? >> i said this last week about republicans using migrants as a political tool and that is shameful. and this is just wrong. >> so the white house's preference would be for small towns in texas and arizona to have to take care of these migrants rather than a large metropolitan city like washington, d.c.? >> that is not what i said. that's not -- i said that there is they are sending migrants to big cities on purpose using them

as a political tool. what republicans is doing is wrong and there is a process in place and we should follow the process. there is a legalhey should foll. >> ainsley: all of these leaders said wring them over. open our borders and let them come in. now they are come in. now they are coming to some of their cities they don't like it and now she is saying it's the republicans' fault. >> the fact that the mayor of washington, d.c. is begging for the national guard to show up and only one correspondent asked about that yesterday at the press briefing is crazy. if they need to understand what's going on, it's this simple. you were taught in like fourth grade. it's cause and effect. the cause is there is an open border down south. and the effect is these migrants are streaming into the united states. they need some place to go. texas and arizona said, you know what? let's give these people a free ride to our nation's capital. and these people, who you are

looking at right now live. >> ainsley: about 30 people? >> steve: 30, 40 people. they all got on to that bus voluntarily. cause and effect. because of what the administration is doing, those people are now wondering where do we go? chip roy the congressman from texas said, look, mayor, you are finally catching up to the problem we have had for a long time. watch. >> it's interesting hearing the mayor of washington, d.c., which is where i'm sitting right now, complaining about 4,000 people on 200 buses that governor abbott has sent to washington, d.c. since april, running to the pentagon saying oh my gosh, we need the national guard. you know what? cry me a frickin' river. welcome to the party, pal. down in texas today on the border, we are going to have about 7,000 people crossing the border across the entire southwest border about half of that in texas. cry me a river about the, i don't know, 50 bodies in a mobile morgue in brooks county, texas where the sheriff is

having to deal with dead migrants all over the rampletion. talk to the families that are, you know, concerned about the people packing pistols like this guy. this illegal immigrant on a ranch that i just got this picture about an hour ago from the county attorney kenny county, texas. that's what we are dealing with every day. >> brian: that is indeed a crisis that is causing a crisis in major cities. mayor adams about a week ago said new york, hey, governor of texas, and arizona, stop sending people here. they said we're not. so then he came out the next day and said hey, president biden, stop sending plane loads of illegal immigrants into our airports. west chester county in particular and possibly mcarthur airport in long island. what they want to do is they are sending them to pennsylvania and jacksonville. they are sending them to west chester new york in the middle of the night with no approval mayors to governors. now gotten so bad the mayors and governors are saying this is getting out of control. what is going to get their attention? and what is. >> steve: this is.

>> press corps thinking they must have a hard job waking up every day and not asking about recession. not asking about hunter, and not asking about the border patrol. the hunter biden situation leads directly to the president compromising foreign policy perhaps certainly where there were questions a border broken like no other time in history. better not send any reporters there. and a recession. by all definitions, that's what we are experiencing. they can't even probe that. why go to work? >> steve: when you think about what chip roy just said. he said 7,000 migrants will stream in to texas today. that is about. >> ainsley: texas and arizona, the border. half of them texas. >> steve: well, that is double the number of people who have been bused into our nation's capitol. so, if they think it is worthy of calling out the national guard in d.c. over 4,000, keep in mind, 7,000 coming in today. >> ainsley: such a good point 4,000 total gone to d.c. 7,000 a day down on our border.

>> steve: scary. >> brian: looking at 4 million. >> ainsley: this is their message. y'all come in. illegals come in but stay down there. did don't come to our city. >> brian: no other country allows. this we are running $900 billion deficit. $900 billion all social programs committed to by americans. how many people are sitting there living paycheck to paycheck saying i think i want to spend a few thousand dollars on people i don't know who don't belong here from another country? no one would write that check. once the money arrives, they pledge it to people that have no business being here. >> steve: i'm going to predict they do not send out the national guard because then they would be admitting it's a problem. stay tuned for that in the meantime, straight ahead on this friday, flash flood warning. the latest from las vegas and kentucky as two different severe storms put americans at risk for very dangerous conditions. >> brian: and three arrests and you are out. climate protesters tried to shut down the congressional basic game but they are not the only ones feeling the heat.

so that gives you an idea of how much water is happening in such a short period of time. and you can see where that frontal boundary is draped across the u.s. central u.s. that's going to bring more heavy rainfall to all of these areas over the next five to seven days. the flash flood threat stretching from the ohio valley, the appalachians towards the southwest. and then, of course, the highs today, very summer-like but very dangerous across the southern plains and northwest they are setting records again today. 90's into 100 degrees, so those are the big stories we are going to be following this weekend. of course, fox weather.com for all of your latest details. all right, steve, ainsley, brian, over to you. >> brian: all right, janice, thanks so much. justin alito went to notre dame law school give a speech. first time. >> steve: it was in rome. >> ainsley: response soared by the law school. >> brian: first time speaking about the big decision. obviously is he not rattled by it he seemed very proud of it. why wouldn't he be? he actually was calling out world leaders for mocking the

decision and saying that boris johnson already paid the price for saying a quote the whole decision was a big step backward among his critics that he listed justin trudeau, immanuel macron as well as prince harry if you can call him a leader. >> steve: they posted the video last night. >> i had the honor this term of writing i think the only supreme court decision in the hills industry of that institution that has been lambasted by a whole string of foreign leaders. [laughter] who felt perfectly fine commenting on american law. one of these was former prime minister boris johnson. but he paid the price. >> [laughter] what really wounded me was when the duke of sussex addressed the. [laughter] >> united nations and seemed to

compare the decision whose name may not be spoken with the russian attack on ukraine. >> ainsley: we promise that is not steven spielberg that is justice alito. he looks totally different. >> steve: is he on vacation. >> ainsley: grown the beard out maybe so no one will recognize him. >> steve: that appearance was not scheduled on the court schedule. no one knew about it keep in mind, ever since that roe v. wade first opinion was leaked, there has been a security concern. you know what? and he obviously gets the last laugh because this courts has had significant victory tries for religious liberties this term this was all about religious liberties. for instance, the court affirmed of the right of thatublic school football coach joe kennedy to pray with students at the 50-yard line. allowed citigroup to raise a christian flag on a flag pole in boston city hall and they got a

permit -- they will now allow marine families to use tax-payer funded tuition credits for religious schools. so when it comes to religious liberty, this has been a good year if you are for that. >> ainsley: did he make an excellent point because is he for defending religious liberties. it is hard to defend it when you have people who do not think religion is a good thing that deserves protection. >> brian: right. so he wrote the opinion. he looks at it as an honor and he was sarcastic and confident. you have not gotten to justice alito. he actually feels pretty good about what he did. 26 minutes now after the hour. in 2022, the 2022 congressional baseball game wrapped up late last night after a lengthy rain delay and the g.o.p. shut out the democrats 10-0. >> ainsley: meanwhile, outlines of the park because we were anticipating several left wing protesters were arrested after they threatened to shut down the family friendly game if the lawmakers don't declare climate change a national emergency.

ains. >> steve: that's right. we told you about that ahead of time. griff jenkins is in d.c. with the blow out result. one of my kids went to the game and didn't see the protesters it wasn't a gigantic event. >> exactly right steve, ainsley and brian. that's right, good morning, before the big game got underway the climate protesters who vowed to shut it down weren't successful. they came out before the game this is a climate emergency. found their way to the gates of the ballpark blocking the entrance demanding congress and biden take immediate action. watch. >> every single living thing on the planet is in danger if we don't act on climate now. congress needs to pass climate legislation and biden needs to declare a climate emergency yesterday. >> we are all in jeopardy. we are all in jeopardy of going extinct even. it's going to be a catastrophe. billions of people are going to suffer and congress and the president have donetsk to nothing. even with this bill that they just sent out. >> ultimately d.c. police say three people were arrested for unlawful entry. and it didn't stop the annual

bipartisan congressional baseball game where members leave their politics on capitol hill and come together for good old fashioned sportsmanship to support local charities. >> watch this and listen as democrats from california representative linda sanchez in the sixth inning passes the g.o.p. dugout and flips the bird. >> looks like it's going to be jeffries. and she will come off to a nice ovation. well, not much reaction from the republican side. [laughter] >> griff: oh boy that may have been the low light. the highlight may have come early on when florida representative kat cammack demonstrating total commitment runs over catcher senator chris murphy trying to score but murphy tagging her out. in the end, republicans, as you mentioned, delivered that lopsided wow look at that hit. the republicans delivering a lopsided 10-0 blowout and perhaps, guys, the kind of victory republicans have to see

come midterms in november. >> ainsley: it was steube that was the pitcher, right? remember last year he participated and did so well? >> pitcher. although i believe the mvp went to congressman august pfluger. but i'm not exactly sure why he got that. it's the second win for the republicans, by the way. it was a nail-biter last year 13-12. i have no idea what the running tally is. they have been doing this game since 1909. >> steve: i think republicans are up by two now. >> ainsley: when the congresswoman flipped off the republicans, were they heckling her or she just did it because she doesn't like them? >> griff: i don't know. i wasn't near the dugout. steve ask her. >> griff: she drew a walk-off lead off walk and then they replaced her with a pinch runner. and then she is going by the dugout and there you go. it's -- we're showing it. but it's kind of a sad commentary on what is really the only bipartisan evening of the entire year now. >> steve: great point.

>> griff: in this town where they truly try to support local charities. but obviously sanchez didn't get that memo. >> brian: griff, do you get paid as a sports guy and news guy today? do you know? >> griff: i'm the worst sports guy. >> brian: you look great. nail-biter. >> steve: griff, thank you very much. i will say this, another d.c. guy chad -- we were watching. >> griff: bye. >> steve: have a nice weekend. >> ainsley: swimming with the sharks to baseball. >> steve: fully rounded. i was watching on fox sports 2 the guy in the dugout was chad pergram fox sports 2. he did a good job. meanwhile, watching the game, dan crenshaw he posted this on instagram g.o.p. 10-zip. preview for the midterms. also this is the shirt i wore for the activists blocking the main gate just drill it they raised, i think, over. >> ainsley: 1.7. >> steve: close to 2 million bucks for charity.

ladder that they had. even up until she passed away, i had the opportunity to watch her make that. she would always save her bacon grease. that was always in the back of my mind. so, yeah, when i saw these double, triple price increases, i that terrified me as a seasonal business owner. i was really looking for a way to offset that cost somehow and the soap just kind of popped into my mind because we do fry so much bacon and have a lot of leftover ladder here. so i thought that was a way we could offset the cost and pass savings onto the consumer. people are very price sensitive right now. you know, you don't know if they are going to stop dining out or whatever, so, you know, i think you can see inflation two ways. you can see it as a road block or as an opportunity. we are really trying to take this to get kind of a competitive edge. if we are able to get a discount by selling even five bar as day that's a $30 discount on my bacon. can i use that to my advantage. >> steve: without a doubt.

recommendation well, this is bad. this is something we have been trying to address for about a year and a half now. and that is when our border patrol agents are not doing their mission, which is border protection, and doing things like immigration processing, these convicted felons get through the process or get around the process and make it harder for them to protect the country and then people as we know end up moving through the whole country. these felons were on their way to other parts of the united states. >> brian: convictions in america? how are you able to find out their background if some of their crimes are committed in other countries? >> well, that's a huge challenge because a lot of these country does not share information or don't really have a centralized bat that base. border patrol is at a disadvantage when they are trying to determine those kind of elements. these, i believe, are either in country or in countries that do keep a data base that we're connected with. >> i want people to see these numbers.

year-to-date in 2021, you had a ridiculous 60,000 come here illegally encounters, we should say. forget about the got-aways, now in 2022 you already have 235,000. that's an increase of almost 30. now you have a mayor in d.c. upset that she is getting a few thousand extra people in her shelters. what's your message to her? >> well, i think it's great she is finally recognizing there is a problem. we have been having this conversation for a while. so it's great to have another mayor on board. but, really it has to be a whole country response. and if it's affecting d.c. imagine what it's doing to a community of 100,000 people along the border when there is thousand a day. >> brian: so you have people that may be over -- may be overwhelming homeless shelter, then you have other people here like you say convicted felons and others just moving drugs through our country. in arizona, cbp agents have seized heroin, meth, fentanyl and stashed? a vehicle.

i want people at home to see this. this is how innovative and i do bawling they are. this is some of the things stuck into dashboards in the interior of seats out there to kill americans. a lot of the time it's not to get them addicted, it's to kill them from china, to the cartels across the border. mayor, what is your responsibility in this in stopping this? what could you actually do? >> well, really, all we can do at this point is support our federal partners, cbp, you know, our customs agents at the ports and border patrol agents along the -- you know, the whole border. so we're really focused on supporting those efforts and sharing intel. >> brian: hey, has senator mark kelly been a big plus? >> you know, he has been down to the border here several times. have been in constant communication. and the announcement yesterday about closing four gaps, he was in the middle of that the whole time. so, he has been engaged which, as our state senator, you know,

will along the border state that's appropriate level. >> brian: wouldn't it be great for him to go to washington, d.c. and say that on the senate floor as a democrat he could make a huge difference instead of doing it quietly if doing it at all? huge disappointment, mr. mayor, thank you so much. mayor douglas nicholls. >> thank you. >> brian: all right, straight ahead. hey, serrie, define recession. the biden white house spin economic decline. will the democrats new spending plan pile up even more inflation? larry kudlow on. that was and from the battlefield to the classroom, florida schools are now turning to our troops to combat teacher vacancies. how veterans can step up to help our kids.

vacancies with thousands of empty teaching positions expected this school year, veterans in the sunshine state are now being asked to step up and fill in with these vacancies. so here with more is florida education commissioner manny diaz. hey, manny. >> hey, good morning. great to be with you on the show. >> ainsley: so good to have you. this is amazing idea. 9500 school vacancies down in florida and schools open up within the coming weeks. first of all, why the vacancies. >> i think the 9500 number is wrong. that may include some other vacancies that may be support personnel. but we do have vacancies in the state. this is great pathway for us to be able to have our veterans in this veteran friendly state step up to the plate and fill in some of those vacancies. >> ainsley: i think it includes faculty and staff so it could be people working in office jobs and that kind of thing in the schools. are you getting a lot of feedback from the veterans? are they interested in these jobs? >> well, so far the bill was passed this past session.

started july 1st. we have 83 applications already in the state. and this creates a pathway to be clear to have veterans who serve for four years in the military and have an honorable discharge and at least 60 college credits with 2.5 gpa to have a longer runway with a temporary certificate, giving them the opportunity to get to the bachelor's degree and finish the requirements that are required for all teachers in the state and allows us to maximize by 1.5 million veterans we have in this state. we are a proud military state and the structure and skills that they have will be valuable in the classroom. >> ainsley: we talk about vet suicides and they don't know what to do necessarily with their lives when they come back because they are used to be out in the battlefield. this is great opportunity for them. they have to have 48 months of service. 60 college credits. 2.5 gpa. they have to pass a required test. and they have to demonstrate a mastery of the subject area. if they meet those standards, they can teach in florida for up to five years and they will also

be given a mentor to help with the transition. this is wonderful. i'm a parent. i would love someone from the military with those skills and that training to teach my child. will they be using some of those skills and teaching the kids about what they learned on the battlefield or when they were in training? >> i think the most important piece heres is you mentioned the mentor teacher. they already come with these skills. especially the structure, the commitment time management all those soft skills that are learned in the military along with what other content skills they have learned. and as you said, they have to pass the test to prove they have the content mastered. and i think this is important in our classrooms, we are missing some of that with today's younger generation, so this would be something that would have an impact on our young people with the structure, the discipline and all those valuable skills that veterans already have. >> ainsley: many, thank you so much for coming on with us and telling us about this. >> thank you for having me. >> ainsley: you are welcome. second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪

my aunt was texting me last night. aunt lynn, i haven't had a chance to text you back she said the lady lived across the street from us are growing up i know her nice lady has moved to north carolina in the mountains and she is in a bible study with the band's mom. >> steve: small world. that's fantastic. so they are going. >> ainsley: welcome to the south. everybody knows everyone. >> steve: they will start singing one hour from now and talk to them in about 20 minutes. in the meantime take a look. pan down. we have got breakfast. >> ainsley: what a beautiful presentation. steve: how beautiful is that actually, let's get the author of it on right now. we have got the mac will he mores out on the plaza. what is this -- is it a pork roast? a rib roast? what is this, john? >> that is a bone-in crowned pork roast stuffed with tonya's homemade stuffing. and cherries. >> cherries are in season nice sweet with the saucy, great

mixture of flavors it was really fun to make. >> like a really good workout. >> ainsley: you grab one of the bones and pull it. >> cut it apart and it's like a really thick nice pork chop. >> steve: i see how you do it this is beautiful. >> ainsley: do you buy it like that? how do you get it to look like a wreath? >> that's a great question. you go to your local butcher and have them precut the bone in pork roast it's a challenge to do this at home. if you are a creative chef at home. >> brian: unless you live a butcher. >> what you want to do is individually cut in between the center cut pork chops. >> steve: look how thick it is. >> smoke it two hours. >> if we can do it y'all can do it. i went to the local grocery store. i will tell you that the version that i got at home was like $55 for this. but then when you cut it apart, it's great serving for probably 14, 15 people.

in the meantime switching to the news. sings this is a news channel. denials across the board from the white house's economic data from yesterday reveals the united states is in a recession after the classic case of two straight quarters of negative g.d.p. growth. >> ainsley: meanwhile president biden touts an almost $370 billion spending plan toward the climate crisis. >> brian: can you imagine redefining something else we all know to be true? jacqui heinrich live at the white house with more. hey, jacqui. >> good morning to you guys. the white house has been trying to get out ahead of these numbers for at least a week now. as far as they are concerned, this is no recession at all. they reject the technical definition of a recession under the commonly understood way to look at the word. which is two consecutive quarters of negative g.d.p. that is what we had and, yet, the biden administration rejects it they said this is a transition to a period of stable growth. >> i want to say two things about the g.d.p. report. our job market remains

historically strong. our economy created more than 9 million jobs since i came to office. the fed chairman powell said -- made it clear that he doesn't think the u.s. economy is currently in a recession. >> the white house is not saying the word recession. they are willing to say inflation. now making a case for even more spending after senator joe manchin unveiled a reconciliation bill he secretly crafted with chuck schumer. they duxd it the inflation reduction act. it dedicates billions to climate, healthcare, prescription drug spending and also includes a new corporate tax and it has the promise for this president of some new life to his summer. maybe even to his presidency. so the so a lot of pressure behind the scenes to get this done. joe manchin once maligned by his party for sidelining the president's agenda says now he never gave up on it. >> people thinking i have walked away or done this or that or reverse my position. i have never been reversed in my lifetime and i never walked away. >> now, critics say the negative

economic growth from the g.d.p. numbers amid rising consumer costs, inflation hit 9.1% last month and, of course, wages are have not been keeping up. makes all of this a bad time potentially to impose tax on corporations because it could be passed onto the consumer. >> this investment in environmental justice is real. it also provides tax credits that will create thousands of good paying jobs. this bill would be the most significant legislation in history to tackle the climate crisis. >> so we have no plans to see the president today; however, he has got a big week ahead of him. one week left before he starts his summer vacation. he has got to close this deal which includes getting senator kyrsten sinema on board and the white house is keeping very hush hush about whether or not they have been able to convince her. >> brian: jacqui, was there much pushback yesterday in the pressroom about the president's effort to not bring up the word recession? >> i'm having a little bit of a

hard time hearing you impression in the pressroom? >> brian: was there any press, outside fox, pushing on the press press secretary about using the word recession? >> you know, i think since the white house has tried to get out ahead of this and they changed their definition of recession under the blog post under the council of economic advisers they rolled out yellen and brian deese there has been some pushback but it's noticeable how many people covered these numbers and they came out yesterday as indication of a potential recession rather than just this is the technical definition of the word as people in this administration have even referred to it as recently as last may. the rnc had, you know, videos and some statements out from biden's own economic advisers using the common definition of a recession as recently as a few months ago. so clearly, they are framing this in a way that is positive for them. no one wants agenda on their record. but probably not as much pushback as we should be giving them overall.

>> brian: unbelievable. thanks, jacqui what you are talking about. >> steve: to your question kristen welker and others yesterday asked about why are they moving the goal post? why aren't they calling it a recession. >> brian: so what jacqui said the "new york times" wrote u.s. economy shows another decline fanning recession fears. cnn, u.s. economy contracts again. fueling recession fears. >> ainsley: recession fears. >> brian: we are in a recession just say how confident you are to come out of it positive. when you have tell people what they are experience something not real, they don't believe what you say next. that's the issue that is the cover of the "new york post" today. >> ainsley: it is the literal definition of recession. >> steve: that's right recession is a noun. plural noun recessions. economic decline which trade and industrial activity are reduced, sounds about right, generally defined by a fallen g.d.p. and two successive quarters, sounds about right, the country is in the depth of a recession. that's how you would use it. >> ainsley: did that happen? quarter one we dropped 1.6%.

quarter 2.9 %. almost 1%. literal definition of recession is if you have two back-to-back with a dropping g.d.p. we are in recession. with if you go by the definition they are trying to change that. >> steve: joe biden said a couple of times yesterday this is a different time because you look at, sure, two g.d.p. number is down but we have such good employment numbers. he said the unemployment rate was 3.5%. but what he doesn't. >> ainsley: we came out of covid people are hiring again. steve: what he does not count the labor participation rate, millions of americans stopped looking and they don't count in that number. >> ainsley: charles payne said that's the number to look at. >> steve: exactly. that's why people are having harvard time finding people to work because people have dropped out of the labor markets. for whatever reason they are not there that's why the number is low. and that is the hook that the president is happening his hat on. it's not a recession because of the low unemployment. i just explained why we have low

unemployment. people have stopped looking. >> ainsley: and how do you feel? do you feel like you are in a recession? i guarantee the majority of americans if they have gotten a pay raise this year, it's not above the amount of inflation. inflation is 9.1%. you are actually losing money. you are baying an extra tax on everything that you buy because we are in an inflation. >> brian: can't gloss over what happened yesterday. over the last 48 hours we passed over $48 billion in spending, you chips bill, joe manchin and chuck schumer sneak attack basically focused on climate change. let me ask you, if you are dealing with inflation if you are having trouble making ends meet. if you are one of the 60%, 70% living paycheck to paycheck suddenly find yourself in deficit, do you care about the solar panels that are now going to be tax incentives on solar panels. are there going to be turbines for wind mills? china is laughing at us. this is something saying your house may be on fire but your

hair looks good. don't emphasize that. we have a huge problem and i'm pretty sure in every poll i see, the most i see in terms of priorities for the average american climate change is around 2%. everybody is talking about inflation. and according to the "new york times." most economists. the treasury department hasn't even looked at all this spending and see how it affects inflation. the number one concern of yours. and they say it will have little -- then we had jason fuhrman saying little affect maybe get inflation down a little. how can you as president of the united states not acknowledge recession and not go after inflation and sit there with a straight face and say i'm addressing climate change and then storm out there with your senior shuffle. >> ainsley: think about the people this effects the most. people on a fixed income. the older people. and they are in the -- you know, second half of their life, if not later than that, they are not so worried about what is going to happen to our world in, you know, 20, 40, 50, 60 years

or 100 years. they are more worried about retirement. their fixed income. they can't afford to put gas in their car or buy that extra meat at the grocery store. they have to go do all their groceries one day per week. we have heard that time and time again from people at the diners because they can't afford the gas to keep going back out every single day. >> steve: democrats call it the inflation reduction act. >> ainsley: that's a joke. >> brian: barnum named that. >> steve: here's the thing. joe biden said it's going to reduce inflation because my advisers told me that of course these are the same advisers that got us to the point we are at. really should be called not the inflation resurrection act but the midterm loss reduction act because clearly the democrats -- the democrats are loving this because ainsley, to your point about older americans. they like the idea of lower prices on prescription drugs. >> ainsley: correct, yeah. we all like that. >> steve: deficit reduction. so the democrats look at this as a win before the november

elections and for them, this is a good thing. we are now talking about that rather than inflation we are talking about oh, look, joe biden and those democrats did. my insulin costs less. you big win on washington. joe biden suddenly after a bad six months is having a really good end of the week. >> ainsley: well, the d.a., alvin bragg here in new york, is speaking out about his decision to go easy on that teenager in the subway. we have been showing you this video for the last last week. the 16-year-old wracked up three felony arrests within four months. the d.a. talked about why he went easy on him. he said our system must respond to children. >> brian: children. >> ainsley: children as children. violence against our police officers is unacceptable. given his age at the time of the arrest we consented to send the second case to family court as soon as possible where he would receive the age-appropriate intervention and supports that he needs while being held accountable.

>> brian: the thing is, the same people committing the crimes, they are no longer just committing the crimes, they are doing it over and over again. they realize that early when they looked at these crime stats. they said if we could just arrest these criminals, we get them off the streets, crime will drop precipitously, it's the same perpetrators. in a study they say one in five burglaries in new york city were from people rearrested on felony charges within 60 days. so the nypd data was obtained by the "new york post," and they run through the whole thing about how the same people keep committing the same crime. and i love this quote from a manhattan cop. says this. we went from revolving door justice system which by the way is terrible to an easy pass system, which means the cops have said, have at it. because no one has got our back and we can't keep you in prison, so go ahead with your smash and grab and your squeegee guys. >> steve: the 16-year-old who is now -- you know, he is loose. he had three felony arrests in

four months to the point of the repeat offenders. but because he is 16 years old, you know, it's a special category. he punched a cop 20 times. you know what? if you beat up a cop, the rules should be you are going to be prosecuted as an adult. but in that soundbite that we just read from the d.a., this kid who beat up the cop would receive the age-appropriate interventions. i wonder when he was arrested in april of this year, with a gun, in the car, i wonder if that was an age-appropriate gun? did the gun care that the kid was under the age of 18? i don't think those bullets impact anybody any differently. there has got to be a better system. right now they have shuffled this kid off to family court now and so alvin bragg doesn't have to bother with him anymore. it's a complete different jurisdiction. and all of his previous crimes will soon be wiped away. >> brian: he will be 18 and

right in alvin bragg's lap. >> ainsley: i believe everyone can change but call me a cynic this guy is 16 and he has had three felony arrests in four months. he is only 16. they think they can rehab him? i hope and pray that they can but, gosh, that's going to take a lot of work. >> steve: right. just one of their quick piece of news. in chicago where they also have crazy rules and a lot of violent crime, because lull la palooza is this weekend, the public health came out and said hey, listen, we know you are going to be buying a lot of pills at this event, some of them could be laced with fentanyl. so go to the public library and get the fentanyl testing kit alings test your drugs. >> ainsley: take narcan. >> steve: it continues to be upside down. ainsley: what kind of message is that. >> steve: just how want in the public library. i'm going to be president obama pills at lollapalooza i need to go to the library to get the fentanyl. >> ainsley: used to go there to

check out books. >> steve: you are so analogue. >> ainsley: fentanyl strips at the library. use your library card. >> steve: that's chicago and new york. here in new york mezzanine level carley has the news from the border. >> carley: i certainly do. watch this, guys. we are turning now to a fox news alert. another illegal immigrant bus arriving in d.c. after muriel bowser asked for national guard help. you are looking at the bus carrying migrants, i believe those migrants are from texas, the southern border pulling up to washington, d.c. just an hour ago. that bus reportedly coming from texas like i said. that influx of migrants into the nation's capital appears to have caught the attention of democratic mayor muriel bowser now asking the national guard to step in and help with the crisis. a fox weather alert. flooding causing chaos on the vegas strip overnight. flash flood warnings were issued for the las vegas valley early this morning as rising waters stranded drivers and flooded

>> brian: welcome back, everybody. president xi issuing a warming during two hour conversation between biden and he. adding tension future of taiwan and possible speaker's visit to taiwan. public opinion cannot be violated playing with fire will set yourself on fire. i hope the u.s. side can see this clearly. here to react and tell us what this means general jack keane, four star general.

general, how do you take that statement? >> well, it's a bit rich, coming from him because he is the most ambitious, aggressive and ruthless leader china has had since move say tongue and what different united states him from mao is so much aggression. what he is doing with taiwan. for 10 years president xi has been intimidating and coercing taiwan to voluntarily capitulate and become a part of mainland china. all he has managed to accomplish in those 10 years is stiffen the taiwanese resolve not to do that. they believe in taiwan and they think of themselves as taiwan ease. it is he that has raised the stake as and created the conflict. every single year he says the same thing. if they don't become a part of china, he is going to take them by force. and i believe we should take him at his word.

learn the lesson from putin and not taking him at his word that he would take ukraine by force. both of these leaders are aggressive and ruthless. >> brian: we have to find out what taiwan needs to defend itself. what a chinese attack might look like and get them those weapons right away. do you believe the speaker has to fulfill her intention to visit taiwan? >> oh, yeah. absolutely. he has every right to be there. leaders go in and out of there. admittedly not at the level of the speakership since newt gingrich was there. but to back away from that, would give president xi a huge propaganda victory. something they would love to see. just going in to the national party congress here in a few weeks where they are going to enshrine him for a third term. they want no embarrassment, they want nothing to deflect from that enshrinerment. she needs go. she said she was going to go. he is making a big stew about this. i mean, they announced this in april but then she got covid.

there was no reaction from the chinese. they are reacting now because it's much closer to his enshrinement here in several weeks. that's what really happening. >> brian: momentum could be changing, some people say the "new york times" reports today in ukraine, back to the ukrainians, the russians have not made any significant gains since july 2nd, are you and the institute study of war under the belief that the ukrainians are set to make a major move or in the midst of a major move in kherson? >> yeah. absolutely. they have been planning this for weeks and preparing for it for the last few weeks. and now their counter offensive is underway. cutting the bridges off and seal off kherson from the south which is where the russians are resupplying it. kherson is a major strategic port. it's very close to crimea. this there is the first city that the russians grabbed. it will have strategic

significance for the ukrainians to take it. operationally, and tacklely very significant. they have never taken a tact urban area and taken that from the russians. this is the first time they are going to be doing that. so, we will see if they are up to it they have been preparing for it rather significantly. and certainly we want them to achieve this. we're hoping that this could be the beginning of taking back more territory as the russians have reached a culminating point, exhausting themselves, their people and their equipment in the donbas region. it's unlikely they will be able -- the russians will be able to take that whole region. the ukrainians are right. they see the vulnerability. and they are taking advantage of it. >> brian: yeah. they have not made any significant gains since july 2nd. there was a pause. but the russians, who have, they say, are 15,000 dead, and up to 75,000 wounded so they have taken some major hits. they just don't have the press reporting on it we will.

posted about their explicit material. the book is titled gender queer and flamer were so graphic that even facebook took down its -- his post warning people about them. oklahoma education secretary ryan walters joins us now from oklahoma city. ryan, good morning to you. >> good morning. thanks for having me, steve. it's pretty wild when a public school has books that have so explicit on their shelves i post about it facebook sensors me. facebook higher standards than the tulsa public schools. so outrageous. >> steve: because this is a family show we are not going to show the images. you described them to me during the commercial. they are not something we would ever show on the channel. but, when you complain to the superintendent, what was her reaction? >> yeah, when i made this post to highlight it and say these have to go down her response was to knock it off.

what we have in tulsa public schools is unfortunately what we are seeing around the country. we have a social justice warrior who is more concerned about going woke than being a superintendent focusing on academic outcomes. they are the first school district to violate our critical race theory ban. they are now a district that has these explicit. it's pornography, steve is in these textbooks. these are the type of books that they had in their library available to students. it's absolutely outrageous and indicative of why this is the lowest performing schools in our state. we have folks in positions of power, as administrators that are more focused on awoke ideology an agenda rather than making sure kids can read and write. it's absolutely -- we are not going to stand for it here in oklahoma. >> steve: these books were in a middle school library so they would have been available to schools in sixth, seventh and eighth grade. >> yes, sir. that's correct. you know, this is the thing. i have been hearing from parents all over the state going when we send our kids to school, you know, we are not expecting them to be able to check out a book

from the library that's that has explicit pornography in it. unfortunately this is a tactic we have seen of the far left. they are pushing critical race theory on the schools. they are pushing the sexualization of kids and unfortunately one of their end goals is to teach kids to hate america. we have to go back to teaching our history and make sure every young person has the ability to be successful and inspired by our history. this is the greatest country in the history of the world and kids need to know this continue this great experiment that is america. >> steve: in the light of you have complaining about it and tulsa. tulsa public schools we have nearly 1 million book on library shelves and committed to make sure that kid have access to diverse materials that are age-appropriate. when we were made aware of the two books with inappropriate ages we immediately asked the secondary schools that had them to remove them from their libraries. even after the superintendent, ryan, told to you knock it off, they eventually took down the books. but, just out of curiosity.

i know they have got unions there in the schools, the teachers are represented by the nea, did they get involved in this as well? >> yeah. you know, the national teacher's association, the nea, the national teacher's union, decided last week, you know, would he don't need to use the term women. we need to use the term birthing person. that's the how out of line. come to the definition on this. that is what is soz crazy here. that book should have never been on the shelves in the first place. their reaction was not to hurry and make sure this doesn't happen again. we will go through a deep dive it was to tell us to knock it off. governor stith and i here in a.o.c. we have called for audit. this has we have called for that and within a month of calling for an audit. we find they violate critical race theory theory in the state and find this type of material here. this is what happens when you start to uncover and start to demand transparency in our public schools. is you are going to start finding more and more instances of this and it's absolutely got

to stop. >> steve: thank you ryan for talking to us about what is going on there in oklahoma city. that's crazy. >> steve, one more thing if people would follow me ryan wall territories for oklahoma.com. what we are doing. we are not going to allow oklahoma to go woke. why are going to keep our schools and teach our kids american history. >> steve: good luck to you. have a nice weekend. >> thank you, steve. >> steve: all right. meanwhile, straight ahead on this friday, who wants to be a billionaire? tonight's mega millions jackpot is a big one, over a billion. and with inflation taking aim at americans, the stakes have never been higher. are you in? that's coming up. over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. those'll probably pass by me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. xiidra? no! it can provide lasting relief.

i don't have the resources to handle them when they get to d.c. >> brian: this gives me great hope because for the longest time, it has been texas, arizona, new mexico but california keeps her mouth shut that are affected. they are the ones on an everyday basis have to do with these immigrants detergents and the border patrol and have to sit in silence where only 30% on the border and have to process illegals and they know 800,000 e gotten away and the countless criminals in the midst. and the oversize classrooms dominated the spring and about to overwhelm in the fall. the president of the united states feels immune to it and homeland security secretary says things are out of control -- under control and everyone knows it. wrong! right now, mayor adams in new york city is beginning to speak out about this. now muriel bowser who treat at the national guard so terribly after january 6th and during the last few months of the trump

the federal government to stay involved. so, i fast for the deployment of the guard as long as we need the guard to deal with a humanitarian crisis that we expect to escalate. the number of people crossing the border seeking asylum, we expect to only go up. and we need to make sure there is some national response, not ad hoc city by city, state by state response. we know that the federal government does this. speed to the governor and texas greg abbott tweeted this out, "d.c. is experiencing a fraction of the disastrous impact the border crisis has caused texas. mayor bowser should stop attacking texas for securing the border and demanding joe biden to his job." >> steve: that's right. here's the thing, we go down and go to washington, d.c., all the time. though the homeless problem in d.c. was terrible long before te

buses started and so now, the mayor in addition to asking the department of defense for help also then three days later called the department of homeland security and said, hey we are asking the department of defense and can you please make sure because the message is, hey, department dhs, border patrol, you're letting the people in! can you make sure the pentagon allows us to use these national guardsmen? obviously, this is a big story in washington, d.c., finally after spinning the border. and asking whether scotus will get involved. >> as the president going to approve for the national guard? >> i said this last week about using immigrants as a political tool, and that is shameful and that is just wrong. >> would it be for small-town texas and arizona to take care of these migrants rather than a

large metropolitan? >> that is not what i said. that is not what i said. i said they are sending migrants to big cities using them as a political ploy. and with the republicans is doing is wrong and there is a process in place and we should follow the process. there is a legal process in place, and they should follow it. >> steve: think a much could be done with the pressure in south america to hold onto their people and 20,000 marines back on the southern border. they remove some of the aid we gave him without doing anything turn it. we do it to be good neighbors and help them with different programs. we start holding that in the past, that has got their attention. what about if we actually built a wall, a barrier to help borders patrol so much because it was not a wolf but technology. douglas nicholas a arizona mayor and at the eye of the storm when it comes to who is coming across the border. not just people but drugs and derelicts. >> this is bad appear this is something we've been trying to

address a year and a half now. that is why the border agents not doing their mission, which is border protection and doing things like immigration processing. these convicted felons get through the process or get around the process and make it order for them to protect the country. then people as we know end up moving through the whole country. it is great to have another mayor on board, but really, it has to be a whole country response. if it is affecting d.c., imagine what it's doing to a community of 100,000 people along the border when there are thousands a day. >> ainsley: exactly. the mayor of d.c. muriel bowser of the champion of all the migrants coming across the border and called it a human rights issue. it is a humanitarian issue. than, she is complaining about the surge. we saw her on the sunday show complaining about the surge in her town out that the migrants are coming because the homeless shelter are full and they are asking for federal aid. that is why she wants

national guard. and asking to pay for the cost so the local government doesn't have to. there is a volunteer at the facilities, housing migrants, name is isaiah guerrero. and he says, "we don't see anyone from the mayor's office. no one from black latino affairs or to welcome them. they want to wash their hands because it is seen as a hot potato." meanwhile the mayor is tweeting come meet me at the ribbon ceremony for the new affordable housing area. >> steve: you know, for the press secretary in the white house to say what she said, it does appear the white house has toned down. because she said they are sending these people here to these big cities on purpose. hold on a second. this administration is letting all the people into this country on purpose! exactly! and once pressed by border patrol, what happens? a bus full of people who just

got off about two hours ago at the nation's capital. when the administration lets people into the interior, go wherever you want and here is what the governors of texas and arizona have done is they have rented these buses and they say, we have a bus. anybody want to go to d.c.? volunteers only. all the people who would get off the bus or volunteering. keep in mind -- >> ainsley: they are not being pressed. >> steve: even though that's what the mayor said last sunday. even though this is the easy path to d.c., keep in mind the federal government through the ngos on the border, what are they doing? they are putting people on airplanes incident them wherever they want to go on an airplane. instead, the government taking matters in their own hands because the federal government is letting these people into the country on purpose. so the supreme court justice in the news because of the decisions they made.

♪ ♪ >> brian: as america comes to grips with the recession, another key metric to deal with inflation came out. the expenditures price index has the inflation rate higher than expected at 6.8% year-over-year. >> ainsley: that is up from the rate of 6.3%, the pc is said to be easier for the federal reserve to determine current inflation, place has a lower on gasoline and rent, which cpi skyrocketing. >> steve: what does it mean? let's get analysis from economic director and host of the kudlow show on fox business, larry kudlow. as you can see is not wearing a neck tie because it's casual friday. hey, larry, good morning to you. >> morning, folks, great to have me. >> steve: there's been a blizzard of that numbers this past week but at the same time,

you know, the president got that big tax spin bill so feeling great. >> yeah, he may feel great, but the rest of the country is not going to feel so great. look, on the battle of the recession, the george orwellian recession battle when you have two consecutive negative quarters, since world war ii, there has never not been a recession ever. to say it's not a recession is, i think, a reach. it is theoretically possible, but it is highly, highly unlikely. that is point number one. point number two, the inflation number you mentioned a second ago is actually higher than may. so that is not good. underlying inflation may be about 7% or 8% right now. number three, why would you raise taxes when you're in a recession? this is the part that i simply do not understand. and this reconciliation bill,

which was kind of sprung on the republicans, i mean, the ink was barely dry on the vote for the chips plus bill, which is $284 billion in spending. now they come up with this bill, which is $739 billion tax hike, right, with $583 billion of spending. so wait a minute, let me get this right. sit back for a minute. in the space of 48 hours, you have these two, huge bills, okay? chips which is an industrial corporate welfare bill, and then reconciliation, all right? so the sum total is $870 billion in new spending. $870 billion in new spending. which is guaranteed to raise inflation. and you have $740 billion and higher taxes.

so, there is no deficit reduction. there is a massive tax increase, which will do great harm to businesses and working folks. finally, you have this huge volume of spending, which i thought there was agreement in washington that too much spending causes higher inflation. tax hikes are going to cause a worse recession. if you guys can figure out the economic logic to this, please come on my show and lay it to me because i don't get it. >> ainsley: you know -- >> i've only been doing this for about 50 years. you will have to help me out on this. >> ainsley: i think my 6-year-old knows when you don't have a lot of money in your bank account, you don't spend more. exactly. they are calling this the inflation reduction act. is that just a spin? >> well, it would have made george orwell proud. it is the worse misuse of the english language i have ever

seen. it has nothing to do with inflation reduction. this is a whole lot of subsidies and corporate welfare and climate change and they are going to throw in a big increase, $225 billion increase to obamacare. and they are going to put -- one of my favorites here is they will give the irs as if they don't have enough agents to go chasing waitresses and uber drivers around the city, they are going to give them another $80 billion. and that $80 billion is supposed to generate $120 billion in revenue. >> brian: unbelievable. >> when you go out onto the street, ainsley, you have to have a mask or something unless an irs agent will tell you wherever you go to increase your tax bill. >> brian: 20 seconds and i only have 30 seconds left but what about poisoning the well.

they passed the chips deal and a secret deal behind the scenes. mitch mcconnell feels like he was doublecrossed. does he have a right to feel that way? >> yeah, i think he does, i think he does. they sprung it -- the ink was barely dry and you are absolutely right on the chips will. joe manchin said two weeks ago, i'm not voting for any of this until i see the july inflation numbers, which everyone knew was coming out mid-august." whatever happened to july inflation numbers, joe? i don't get that. >> brian: watch the show at 4:00 today. >> not good. >> brian: not, indeed. >> ainsley: thank you, larry. have fun this weekend, larry. >> brian: to show his number one fox business but meanwhile the moment you have been waiting for. a brand-new song, "left in the water." after the break. >> ainsley: but first bill hemmer what is coming up at the top of the show, hey, bill.
