>> carley: democrats one step closer to pushing through the $800 billion climate spending bill with kyrsten sinema's blessing and we could see a final vote this weekend despite economists warning the act could make inflation worse. you're watching "fox and friends first" on friday morning, i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: we don't want worse, we want better. i'm todd piro. americans say soaring prices are the biggest concern this election season.

the biden administration doesn't understand people care about gas prices, inflation and the economy. they are living in la-laland. from la-laland, hoff. >> voting will begin on the deal, the cdo and economists agree the bill will not curb prices and the white house is lowering expectation ahead of today's release of the jobs report. kyrsten sinema says this, we have agreed to remove the -- and boost the budget reconciliation legislation, the president is responding to this saying we have taken another critical step toward cost of living for

american families, look forward to pass this as soon as possible. at the center is west virginia senator joe manchin who support paved the way for it to head to a vote. here is what he's saying about getting republicans on board. >> you think this is something republicans should do? >> i talk to my republican friends, we just got to have more energy, we will drill more oil. >> the congressional budget office says the act will not ease inflation and could increase it, creating pressure by boosting demand while supply side would constrain supply by discouraging and draining resources. republicans are seizing on that. >> if you are worried about inflation, worried about gas prices and the economy

generally, i think this is a really bad bill and i'm hoping more democrats will come to that realization. >> today we are expecting the july jobs report. the white house is downplaying expectations on that. >> we are in transition to steady growth, instead of record high breaking number job numbers we've been seeinger month in the realm of 500 to 600,000 jobs average per month, we are expecting to be closer to 150,000 jobs per month. >> we'll see what the jobs report looks like in a few hours. >> carley: thank you so much. now to this, speaker nancy pelosi is in japan for her final leg of her trip to asia after staring down north korea during her visit to the demilitarized

zon south korea calling her trip -- the trip to the dmv, second contlo versial visit coming a few days after her visit to taiwan, leaving the white house fuming for going through with the trip despite their warning. live fire exercises with missiles shot over taiwan for the first time. we spoke with a retired cia officer who says biden administration is not prepared for china's retaliation. >> there is no world or scenario in which joe biden is prepared to take on the communist chinese. pick one of two explanations of what is happening, one is grotesque incompetence. >> carley: there is a chance taiwan is prepared to -- taiwan.

>> todd: griner issuing an aapology moments before learning her fate. >> i want to apologize to my teammates, my club, the fans and the city, my mistake i made and embarrassment i brought to emthis, i never meant to hurt anybody or put in jeopardy the population. i never meant to break any laws here. >> todd: griner and her lawyers floating the idea of a prisoner upon swa, that trade former u.s. -- paul when heland in exchange for a russian prisoner. sources tell daily mail, that swap could happen in the coming weeks, stay tuned.

vice president kamala harris called out for hypocrisy, vp tweeting, russia continues wrongful detention of griner, criticism continued, tom young says griner got nine years, kamala harris got for the same thing when she was attorney general of california. during her time as ag harris office sent 1500 state people to prison for marijuana offenses. harris oversaw 1900 marijuana convictions. >> carley: an aapology tour after claiming president biden may not run in 2024, watch this. >> when you run or if you run, i will be there 100%, you have deserved it, you are a great

president. >> todd: and america's heartland, the new spending bill could make it work. we are talking to an american farmer who says could be at risk. zyrteeeec... works hard at hour one and twice as hard when you take it again the next day. so betty can be the... barcode beat conductor. ♪♪ go betty! ♪♪ let's be more than our allergies! zeize the day. with zyrtec. it's the all-new subway series menu! 12 irresistible new subs... let's be more than our allergies! ...like #3 the monster. juicy steak, bacon... double monterey cheddar it's a beast of a feast. so "that's" why it's the monster. you catch on quick, marshawn. it's subway's biggest refresh yet.

>> todd: america's farmers warning president biden's new plan he claims will tackle global warming will jeopardize our food supply. that is not good. a dairy farmer joins me now. ste fanny, how are the climate change proposals aimed at ag putting our food supply at risk? >> climate change has always been hoax for the agriculture industry, they blame agriculture for global warming and change of the planet, but coming in 2023, there is a farm bill up for proposal, and i think this is an excuse letting farmers struggle around this country and we are seeing farmers and ranchers rise up around the nation.

>> todd: it includes climate spend with plan to reduce carbon emission i by 2023 and the seshg c will place major restrictions on you by eliminate crop tools, investing in renewable energy practice and restricting livestock farming. how devastating would that be to your ability to meet food demand? >> they are pushing us into a corner, they are not listening to the family farmer and rancher. texas is the largest beef producer, they are going through drought and fires, selling off cattle, it is detrimental to the livestock industry and you think about harvest season, are we going to stop and charge up our tractors and wait 30 to an hour and start harvesting again?

it doesn't make sense, they are trying to push agriculture out of the united states, pushing plant-based food and get rid of sustainability in the united states. >> todd: do people pushing this agenda not realize where our food comes from? >> no, but they will fly their plane for a filet mignon to new york city. it is time for our voice to be heard of what is happening to this climate change agenda and their purpose of diminishing family farms. livestock will get hit hard, i'm telling you that right now, people that listen to me and follow me, i've been saying this from the beginning, this climate change agenda will hurt the livestock agenda.

you will see empty shelves and farmers will start standing up and the american people should educate themselves through the family farmer and rancher and fighting here in the united states. >> todd: food is kind of important to survival. we appreciate your time and insight on this, thank you. new yorkers fed up with the crime crisis, demanding kathy hochul do something about it. kevin mccarthy sending a message it is a mess. >> carley: we'll talk to jack brewer coming up next. now i'm down with rybelsus®. mom's a1c is down with rybelsus®.

>> carley: kathy hochul calling to change bail reform law putting criminals, including repeat offenders back on the street, she says she is in no rush. ashley strohmier. >> ashley: kevin mccarthy accused kathy hochul, madent comes while hosting a round table in new york city. >> i would say to the governor, get rid of the prosecutors that won't uphold the law. you have the power to do it, do it today. why isn't she here? >> ashley: business owners plead for the governor to curb the soaring crime rate, asking kathy hochul to roll back bail reform. we're in trouble, discuss it, you cannot ignore it, this is

the data. members of hispanic chamber of commerce says the members will vote against the governor and she runs risk of losing the latino vote, if she doesn't reach out to them. kathy hochul says she will wait to address bail reform. >> we know the legislature meets next january, by that time, we'll be able to assess impact of changes, how long i need to study this? i can't do anything until july. >> carley: this as tens career criminals arrested 500 times and they keep being released back into society on the street and crime in new york is so bad an mma fighter was forced to step in and take down a man for assault. >> my martial arts kicks in, we got to put this guy away, i'm thinking about my parents, he is

older. he hit an older person and a young man. >> carley: get bail reform laws in check to stop offenders, he says it is dangerous and destroying the city. >> carley: shocking number of criminalings walking the streets of new york is part of a bigger story about the crime in many of america's major cities enabled by democrat policies. joining me is jack brewer, former nfl player. jack, it is numbers seem fake, one criminal was arrested 101 times, second one 96 times. a third one, 58 times, this is happening because in new york, if you commit a misdemeanor, you do not get jail time, don't get held on bail, you are on the streets to commit another crime within hours or days and police

feel frustrated because it takes longer to arrest somebody and do the paperwork and before they know it, they are back out on the streets. what is your reaction? >> it is ridiculous. our country is being destroyed by lawlessness and the fact you have these poor police officers, family men and women trying to protect and serve and to have our system and is our courts disrespect them to this level, it truly is disgusting. just four days ago, i lost my young cousin, shot in the streets, slain in kansas city, missouri, left to die. two weeks ago, next door to my communities, a barber was shot in the face. fortunately, he lived. it hits close to home and it is

not right to let criminals roam the streets. some point, we have to have a real group effort to put end to this lawlessness and madness, this is not our country and it needs to stop. >> carley: so sorry to hear about the loss of your cousin, that is devastating for you and your family and brings you to a larger points, have are the victims in all this and why don't their opinions matter more? kribl criminals are getting pref rential treatment. families lose family members and feel victimized all over again when the criminal who impacted their family and took the lives of a loved one, is released or receives a minimum sentence and doesn't see justice they deserve. >> you feel violated, it is a sad thing to think we have this

leftist approach and this wokeness that really is given pref rential treatment to hardened criminals, not folks mamake a simple mistake, folks that make a career out of criminality. our system is allowing people like this to roam the streets. people are not working, they don't want to make a living, they want to be ro, steal and kill. that is something the devil does, we have to join as american faith-driven god-fearing americans and take a stand against this. i've never carried my gun so much in my life, everywhere i feel violated and never know when there is going to be a criminal that will take advantage of an innocent s person and people shouldn't live that way, this country shouldn't feel like we're living in a

third world country, that is what a lot of places in america are turning like, that is not right. >> carley: soros spent millions on criminal justice reform, he wrote a piece in the "wall street journal," we need to acknowledge black people are five times more likely to be sent to justice, that is injustice. restore trust between the police and partnership that fosters solving of crimes. what is your reaction to that? >> george soros to say this as a black man, black people are five times more likely to commit a crime, too, because we have fatherless kids in the street. black kids are killing each other and it is terrible. soros, you don't know, you don't

go to black neighborhoods, i do. kids get out of school and there is nobody to keep them right. we need to start spanking kids, get in schools and teach the bible to kids. george soros, i don't want to say what is on my mind, as a man of god, i shouldn't speak that way. he is the problem, this perspective you can disrespect law enforcement officers and this movement to stand up against police, get rid of bad police. get rid of bad police, but we know majority of police officers are good, god-fearing peep and he will we need to stop putting this message out to kids because on social media, they are trying to beat up police officers and it is ridiculous. >> carley: jack, like i said before, we're sorry for the loss of your cousin, i know that our viewers are going to lift you and your family up in their

prayers, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. >> god bless you. >> carley: god bless you, too. mainstream media is finally calling it a border crisis, helping the white house deflects it is blame on republicans. >> todd: joe concha here to respond to that next.

>> todd: "new york times," vanity fair, msnbc and the post blaming republican leaders for the migrants. >> carley: joe concha joins us. the "new york times" claims gop governors are causing havoc and vanity fair says the leaders created a migrant crisis in washington. ms nbc said wrote a piece on governor abbott. governor abbott is saying your party supports open borders, here is a taste of the drawback you created. >> joe: yeah, the federal government is responsponsible f securing our borders and four million people are projected to go into this country illegally in the first two years under the

president. and border towns in texas and arizona are beyond overwhelmed and new york and washington are getting a small taste of what mayors in those towns are dealing with with limited resources. we have traditional media talking about the border crisis, right, todd? >> todd: the actual border cries doesn't impact the rich elite that lives in new york and dc, so it is not a problem, nothing to see here. columnist comparing trump supporters to supporters are terrorism. i view peepil who support donald trump no different than despicable vile people who supported bin laden after 9/11 and the media can't understand why more than half the country

doesn't trust them. >> joe: i will not dignify this with a community. comparing to terrorists? it is an insult. you make the most asinine analogy and compare people to terrorists and nazis and enjoy cheap likes and retweets for those unhinged on social media. i'm sure this person will be booked back on cable news, special responsible network would make sure that didn't happen, being responsibility is not the thing these days. >> todd: cnn wants to go more middle and mainstream. >> carley: this is an example of republicans thinking democrats are wrong and democratss thinking republicans are evil. democrats, carolyn maloney was asked if she thinks president

biden will run in 2024 or if she supports him. she doesn't think he will run again and she issued a huge apology when she did an interview the next day. watch this. >> mr. president, i want you to run, i apologize, if and when you run, i will be there 100%, you deserve it, you are a great president and thank you for everything you have done. >> carley: all she said, she didn't think he was going to run again and others have said that. what do you make of this apology? >> joe: no idea it was hostage video friday, tough to watch and sit threw through sober. facty woo are seeing a democrat lawmaker walk back comments, that is a problem.

cnn poll, 75%, 3-4 democrats don't want this president to seek a second term. many believe this president is too old and slow to react to crisis and be president right now, what will the numbers look like if joe biden runs in 2024, approaching his 82nd birthday. only five weekends left in summer, why is summer moving faster than int wither? >> carley: time flies when you are having fun. >> todd: football every weekend now. >> carley: football started? school about to start, time moving fast. thank you. when when president biden made this promise to the middle class? >> no new taxes, no need. you make less than $400,000, you

won't pay a single penny in taxes. >> nobody will have taxes raised, zero. >> todd: bingo. it will make inflation woerms heritage foundation president kevin roberts breaks down the effect it will have on your wallet next. she's feeling the power of listerine. he's feeling it.

>> todd: kari lake narrowing defeating karrin taylor robson backed by mike pence. primary -- governor race this november. congressman lauren boebert says it is not a surprise that america first candidates are winning, here is why. >> i'm not surprised america first candidates are winning, they are putting america first and wanting to get our country back on track. it is not far right to want to

do the same thing. it is okay to say it is wrong to mutilate our children, it is good to say that we need to lower inflation and not do so by spending another $800 billion. >> carley: speaking of democrats spending, issue for midterm voters and white house is lowering expectations for the jobs report due out today. >> we are on transition to steady growth and you will see instead of record high breaking number job numbers we've been seeing every month, we're expecting to be closer to 150,000 jobs per month. >> carley: dr. roberts, president of the heritage foundation is joining me. highlight of the economy, if the number comes two50,000, which i

believe is expected, what would that say about the economy? >> well, you know, in the mind of the press secretary and president, it means that is good news. this administration continues to talk about numbers like they are theory or in the abstract and carley, you andir and your audience know, americans are affected by this. households know when that job report comes in and fewer jobs are available, that is affecting american families, therefore, if the press secretary is saying this is what the near and medium term looks like, the american economy is in terrible shape. unfortunately, i understand political consequences for the president, as americans, we want everyone to flourish, that job report is indicator americans are not.

>> carley: inflation reduction act, but group of 230 economists sent a letter to lawmakers saying it the bill would create inflationary pressure by boosting demand and price hikes would discourage investment, draining private sector of much needed resources. if this passes, what happens to the economy? >> only in washington, could you take something that would be so devastating to the economy as economists point out and call it inflation reduction act, it would do the opposite. looking at this through the lens of the average american, forgotten american, it will have devastating consequences. direct taxation, burden of costs has to be born by someone and it is going to be on the back of average americans.

senator kyrsten sinema, manchin, president biden are trying to be cute at best with rhetoric, at worst they are being disingenuous, this boils down to increased taxation on americans, increased inflation, we are changing behavior how woe consume. this terrible legislation will have consequences, before the consequences, we'll continue to feel more economic pain. >> carley: this would raise taxes on corporations and people making less than $200,000 a year, how would that happen? >> it happens because of the mechanics of the bill, in interest of time, won't get into the economics, looking at analysts or analysis of the heritage foundation, mechanics

of the taxation system mean downstream from loopholes, some taxation on venture capital work means americans earning less than $200,000 a year, we are giving $80 billion to internal revenue service. i'm sure americans are saying how do we fix america? add 87,000 irs agents. >> carley: and families making up to $300,000 getting a tax credit to buy electric vehicles, i'm sure people will be jazzed about that one. dr. roberts, thank you for joining us, it looks like it will pass, we'll wait to see on that chltsz. >> unfortunately.

covered up derogatory information about mr. hunter biden? >> when i read the letter that describes the kinds of things that you're talking about i found it deeply troubling to. >> he goes on to promise the russo blowers will be protected. chuck grassley got wrote a letter to raymond merrick garland summarizing the claims that appear to indicate there was a scheme in place among certain fbi officials to undermine derogatory information connected to hunter biden by falsely suggesting it was disinformation. that potentially damaging information was coming from hunters intimate laptop at "the new york post" first reported on materials from that laptop and twitter at the time to press the story ahead of the

2020 election. now missouri senator josh hawley says this candle goes far beyond the actions of the president's son. watch this. speak of these was these whistle-blowers have set over and over that they fbi colluded with the big tech companies to try to bury the hunter biden story to protect joe biden, to interfere, frankly come in the reporting of the 2020 election. >> we've recently learned the criminal investigation into hunter biden has reached a critical stage as officials decide whether or not to bring charges against the president's son. carly, todd. >> brooke singman lifer is without clothes the spring lara trump. laura said this whistle-blowers saying that the fbi falsely claimed that this laptop was disinformation to shield president biden during the 2020 presidential election. now christopher wray is calling that allegation deeply troubling. what's your response to all of this? >> well, it's definitely deeply troubling. it's more than that. we operate in a civilized

society and we are able to do so because we as americans believe that no matter who you are, no matter your last name or your actions, if you break the law, if you do something against the law you will be held accountable. the premier law enforcement agency in the world, the fbi, apparently -- we know it was weaponized against donald trump. we know -- remember peter strzok and lisa page working in tandem to try to take down donald trump despite the fact that the information they were basing their entire situation off of was false. but now that same agency apparently for the political party that they support has covered up, and the fact that you have christopher wray, the fbi director, there on capitol hill either just finding out about a lot of this, which is very concerning considering he is the director, that is kind of surprised by some of the

stuff, or that he's the director in these individuals are still there this is still going on. and there's been no accountability at the fbi, is awful. this is not the way we operate in the united states of america. we cannot function if this is how our premier law enforcement agency is handling itself. people need to be fired from the agency. people should be in jail. there should be an investigation of course not only into the biden family, but apparently into the fbi as well. speak with her job is to protect us in the homeland. it's not to go after parents. they need to remember that. of the meat and photographing the ron desantis continues his crackdown on local government officials announcing the suspension of state attorney andrew warren. listen. >> this is the guy that all the line prosecutors says he thinks he can pick and choose which laws. and he actually signed letters saying he would enforce laws

against transgender surgeries for minors. laws protecting the light gray to light for the law is presumptively enforced. that's not something that is acceptable. speak a more governors do that? >> would knit up here in the state of new york? look, it doesn't matter. whether you agree with the laws are not, whether you agree with them. they are the laws but they need to be enforced and that is your job, to enforce such jobs and prosecute people that violate them. if you're not willing to do your job as this individual in florida. you're out of here and come yet, thought, wouldn't it be nice if we sell more people do this? more governors to controls and say if you're not willing to do your job you're out. command has it hurt the american

people. and all across our california. i wish we some more of this action taken. maybe it would be better for all of us. >> state attorney was elected. i guess he wasn't appointed he was elected by the people. what do you think their reaction to this move by ron desantis is going to be? >> well i think a lot of people are happy about it. as a florida resident myself anything that makes our state better, anything that keeps us safe, anything that's better overall i'm happy and i'm taking my kids back there to start school very soon. but it's really upsetting because this guy come of this state attorney was of course partly funded by george soros and we know these attorneys all across america have not been doing their jobs. they are doing the bidding of the far left. they don't keep people locked up that should be off the streets. and this is just another one that you can put in that category.
