santa monica's historic pier. you have people gathered at the beach. the cold beach day. that is what they do during the holiday weekends. you can expect thousands of families to gather and hang along california's beautiful coastline to wrap up the holiday weekend, bill. >> bill: christina coleman live in a cloudy santa monica today, christina, thank you. >> arthel: we will take the clouds and it still awesome santa monica but millions of americans will face bumper-to-bumper traffic on the roads. not on the beach impact airports this memorial day weekend as overall travel has returned to pre-pandemic levels. senior correspondent casey stegall at dfw. so, so far, things are going well. are they still the same smooth sailing, if you will? >> we don't want to jinx anything, arthel. so we don't want to say it out

loud too much. pretty smooth sailing and i know we have some time left in this busy travel day. i want to break down all of these numbers for you. they are pretty staggering and some record-breaking pre-pandemic. aaa says that 42.3 million americans will be traveling in some form or fashion this holiday week and peered out that 3.4 million will fly. that is actually about 11% up from last year. so crowds have been large, planes have been packed and patience has no doubt been tested at times. but thankfully, the use usual hustle and bustle with no major incidents reported. the misery map, no doubt we have seen it much worse but right now look at that not too bad 263 delays reported nationwide and just four cancellations. san francisco, chicago o'hare and denver now rounding out the

top three spots. >> i definitely noticed a limited number of people but not too bad. anything yet so i guess it is fine so far. >> extremely busy. since 2019 i was tamping myself up for this. >> clearly that the numbers tell the story. more than 37 million americans, the vast majority expect her to drive to their destination. that, by the way a 6% jump from last year says aaa. gas prices averaging $3.65 a gallon down significantly $0.50 cheaper per gallon versus the previous memorial day weekend. airfare, on the other end not so much with high demand and so many people planning summer vacations. the travel experts say to expect sticker shock if you want to play somewhere this summer, arthel. >> arthel: hey, casey speaking of road trips, what is your

favorite snack to eat while you are driving? >> oh, wow, you put me on the spot, sugary, candy, it has become my kryptonite the past couple of years. some sweet and sour kids, sweet patches? sweet and sour patches? >> arthel: yeah. >> what about you? >> arthel: i like sunflower seeds. it keeps me busy. it is salty peer that is all i care about peer they are telling me i have to go. >> we should road trip ourselves. >> arthel: good music and a good playlist together. all right, casey, thank you. >> let's do it. >> arthel: let me say terrible policy, absolutely terrible policy. does not reduce spending but actually by some estimates creates a burden on administrative spending that is

worse for overall cost of a program like that. i think it is unfortunate the president opened the door to this. >> if this is another round of sequestration not only will i vote no but not intimidated by june 5th. >> bill: president biden and house speaker kevin mccarthy reaching a deal on the debt ceiling after a hard-fought negotiations. now the biggest hurdle will be getting support from both parties to actually pass this thing. more on that, texas republican congressman lance gooden it's as of now and decided how he will vote. thank you so much for your time. the text came out last night and i know you and your team have been reading through it but where do you stand now? >> i would like to get there but i have some issues i'm working through. i got the text last night and we had a call on saturday night, late saturday with spea speaker mccarthy and we expected text sooner than than we thought.

fortunately early in the congress if you recall the sticking points, this agreement that kevin made to allow members of 72 hours to review the text of any bill before we voted on it. we are no longer voting for things and seeing later. so we got the bill last night. i started looking at it this morning and i'm talking with my colleagues, speaking with constituents and wednesday ni night, this will come down from the house. i'm undecided to be honest. there are things that i like. i have a problem with a few other items. i do believe speaker mccarthy did an excellent job with what he had to work with. i remind everyone on the republican side back home we do not control the senate or the white house. so, he didn't have a lot to work with but i think members of the republican congress and the house right now determining what they can and cannot tolerate. has this gone far enough? and get the lay of the land to

get the bill. >> bill: some of the g.o.p. colleagues have been speaking out on this some support and some strongly against it. some montage of what some of them have had to say. >> the question is it is not a step forward but a conservative step forward, a step forward for republicans. >> my concerns are national security. i think the number one chop of the federal government is to keep us safe. a lot of us wanted far more spending cuts then we have peered for him to claim victory and got this bill that we had 218 votes is unacceptable. >> look, you made a good point the democrats have the white house, they have the senate and the republicans have a slim majority in the house of representatives. so realistically, the freedom caucus wanted this to go a lot more the conservative direction but realistically this is as good of a deal that the republicans could have got with

what you have read so far? >> if the goal was to have a deal by june 1st through the fifth, perhaps yes. ralph norman was correct when he said we wanted it to go further than it did. i think what members are coming to terms with and 72 hours is something they can accept considering what it is we are working with. the appetite to endure financial calamity differs on different members of the conference. there are people, myself included who have constituents at home who believe like i believe that in a short-term financial pain potentially could outweigh an effect would outweigh any negative effects of the crisis continuing if it meant we had border security or if it meant real reform that lasted long into the future and past the next 5-10 years. if i can tell my constituents at the borders because i held firm and potential shutdown of the

markets, financial calamity. that is something that we could summit. what we have right now is what we have an kevin mccarthy i think has done a good job. they were definitely things that i don't love about it but i'm not going to be critical. but i am still undecided as i work through this bill. >> bill: when this all started, president biden said he wanted a clean debt ceiling to be passed with no strings attached whatsoever. republicans passed their own spending bill and came to the negotiation table and republicans ended up getting what they wanted. did you consider that in itself a win? >> that is absolutely a win. chuck schumer said they would not budge and this is a sign of the times to come, then that is encouraging. while i'm not thrilled and i don't think anybody is thrilled about the bill we will be voting on, i will not walk away from my vote whether you know vote.

but i will walk away thinking this is certainly better no matter which way it goes. leading joe biden win on his terms. >> bill: we will wait to see if it gets passed, lance goodman, thank you for your time and we will talk soon. >> thank you. ♪ ♪ >> arthel: russian forces bombarding the ukrainian capital of kyiv with iranian made drones. how might the aerial assault impact ukraine's plans for a counterattack? we will ask lieutenant colonel dylan davis with his reflections as well on memorial day. he is up next. freestylelibre.us the all-new tempur-pedic breeze makes sleep feel cool.

are $20,000 apiece to try to suck down million-dollar aircraft missiles. if they take too many of those, they may run out as russia will not run out of drones. something to keep an eye on. >> arthel: interesting. so, when do you expect ukraine's counteroffensive to begin? how massive, how big could it be? could it be the final strike if you will that would force vladimir putin to retreat? is it possible? the national security advisor said on a bbc interview early this morning that it could come in a day. counteroffensive could come any day. he will not give the exact date for obvious security reasons. but they are ready and will do something. when you take a look at the amount of forces trained up over the last several months and with what the west has given them it is entirely possible that

ukraine could have local success in some areas. they don't have enough troops to be able to have a large-scale of events that would physically drive russia out of anywhere. volodymyr zelenskyy to temper expectations on that. it is a big risk. they could have success but could run into the teeth of a lot of doug and russian defensive positions. it has been over six months preparing. so it is a very high-stakes situation. certainly everybody is wishing the best for ukraine. >> arthel: absolutely, we are wishing the best for ukraine, indeed. listen, memorial day and u.s. military man yourself, what are your reflections on this day? >> you know, i can express this holiday without going back to 2010-2011 and some of the troops that i personally met subsequently killed in action.

suspects have left the store." arthel everything these days up is down, two plus two equals five. what is employees expecting to roll out the red carpet for these thieves? that is what it feels like these days. >> arthel: i get it that they want to keep the employees safe so they don't want you going after these guys because you don't know how they will react. but it is natural instinct. however, i don't think the employee should be fired. i get it to come it is in the employee handbook but talk to them and say, "listen first 20 and don't do it again. "and security there. one more thing, i'm all for these people going into the stores and stealing stuff. i was in a store and i could not believe what i was seeing. they are swiping stuff and putting it in their bag. what is going on? my heart started racing and i had to remain calm. what do i do? this is bad. they need to stop all of that.

you weren't expecting all of that, were you? >> bill: i was. we have a big problem in l.a. they made it no longer a felony under $950. you see these crazy videos so i get where you are coming from. >> arthel: all right, we will go to this now, bud light not the only american company pegging the price for marketing and advertising choice. retailer target has lost billions of market value recent days stemming from a boycott over a pride themed clothing line for children. new york city newsroom with the details, nate, what is happening at target? >> target has offered pride products for a decade but this year of the response from customers has been different. take a look a lot of people upset pride products need geared towards kids. they have moved to the back of stores after customers knocked over supplies.

happen on wednesday right after james comer and republicans potentially pitching the idea of holding christopher wray in contempt of congress if he didn't start cooperating? what will come out of this meeting if anything? >> most expectation, christopher wray will hold the line and resist revealing in this document contains the type of raw allegations through sources. anonymous sources. the problem with the fbi's position, it is also being investigated that one of the concerns among american people is they believe the fbi has been politically compromised for years. and the polls indicate that is not changing. whether you agree with that or not, it suggest your approach needs to change. it is the only way to reverse those numbers is to give to greater transparency.

there is another issue that supports congress. yes, the fbi investigates crime, but one of the functions of the congress and oversight is to look at corruption. that includes things that may not be criminal but corrupt. influence peddling is the favorite form of corruption in washington. and in this case, the bidens accused of millions of dollars from foreign interests and some associated with foreign intelligence. this document is part of that investigation. i think that they have to look at that context and say this is not the usual push and shove from congress. there is a need here to be more transparent. >> bill: congressman james comer and chairman of oversight committee in terms of what he believes it so important about this document, take a listen. >> this is a very serious accusation. this accusation fits a pattern

that we have uncovered, especially romania where then vice president joe biden talks about foreign policy and foreign aid. two weeks later, his family starts getting -- from foreign nationals and this country to the different biden family members. we also want to know what the fbi did to investigate this very serious allegation. >> john, you mentioned the fbi taking hits with its reputation with the american public. if they decide not to cooperate with the subpoena or turn over this document or work with james comer on it, do you think the public trust will erode even further? >> i think that ray knows merrick garland has his back. it is unlikely garland will move forward on the contempt citation come even though garland aggressively pursues attempt violations involved in congress when the targets were trump

officials. so, this will create tension across the line. one of the things that makes this more appointment, the house released a report and always ignored by many of the media. it has some shocking details about these millions of dollars that went to the biden family. the bidens have known for years for influence peddling. they are really in a class of their own when it comes to this form of corruption. what the house revealed is this elaborate rent accounts and corporations used to transfer this money including the brand. an easy explanation why this complex system was used other than to try to hide the trail that goes back to these foreign interests. >> bill: last question here, where do you see this going? they have a meeting wednesday and realistically what will happen when the meeting is over? >> well, the problem for the

biden family when they lost control of the house, they lost control over the narrative. the media is still working their best to help the white house. but the house representatives have subpoena authority and they are not going away. this won't either. so whether cooperates or not, this committee is going forward. we will learn a lot more in the days to come i think. >> bill: that can be dialed in and we will wait to see what happens after wednesday, jonathan turley, thank you for your time. we will talk to you soon. arthel. >> arthel: bill come i will take it coming up could americans face another interest rate hike to make rate hike after spending surge? house speaker kevin mccarthy a debt deal with president biden. many are wondering if it is enough to get america spending back on track. we will ask our pain with economic experts.

[laughs] moving on, and other interest rate height and the cards after consumer spending surged in april, which may convince the federal reserve it needs to do more to bring down inflation. let's bring in the panel, steve moore, economists and robert wolff, former obama economic advisor. robert come i will start with you. why with news about a strong u.s. economy be considered bad news? >> because we still have a tale of inflation, arthel, even though i'm humming that song you just said. listen, if you look to the last jobs report, it wages going, a lot of the sectors during covid, hospitality leisure is strong,

restaurants are strong, manufacturing coming back. if you look at all of these things, you have a strong economy in many ways but for the impact of inflation. now we see many sectors wages do better than inflation. consumers back spending and personal income and personal consumption is up here are the most thing is that the last fed meeting, powell was clear, chairman powell that we may see more affirming and that the rate is expected to be around 2%, 2.5%. i think it will be tough to get there. i am not surprised to see neutral or price increase in the upcoming year. >> arthel: steve, how do you see it? >> not quite the same way. i'm pretty optimistic on the economy. robert is right we have a strong job market and consumer spending a lot. 22 of the last 24 months, people's incomes are actually falling behind the rate of inflation. they are getting poorer.

you look at the industries right now and they are showing signs of weakness especially housing. so, it is a tough call but i think, don't forget they have raised interest rates to ten times in the last year. this is one of the steepest increases. i'm worried more right now about a recession than i am inflation. but i'm worried about both. >> arthel: before i move on to you, anything to say to that, robert? >> i'm on the other side. i think it is a flip of the coin. with the labor market as strong as it is and jobs people have the ability to demand more wages and actually if you look at the sectors that were hurt the most during covid, actually there wages are doing better than inflation. even instruction 20% and purchasing power is better. consumers are showing they are

willing -- >> the problem, robert, you look at the polls and the americans the facts polls, mbc polls, showing the same thing americans think the economy is headed the wrong direction by a large number. >> arthel: well, you guys will not agree so we will leave it there. meanwhile, listen you will agree on this everybody defaulting on the nation's debt would definitely be bad news. it looks like a deal would be done by this time next week. but steve, is this nail-biting down to the wire process getting old? >> first of all, let me tip my hat to kevin mccarthy and an agreement with joe biden and eight weeks ago, joe biden was saying i'm not good at negotiating which was a foolish position of the president. do i agree with everything in this deal? no i would have cut spending

because circles back to the inflation problem that robert and i were talking about a $4 trillion spending binge under biden. it is important to get this deal but it has to have substitution spending cuts. i don't agree with everything in this but i think it is a good deal and will be voted on and passed sometime in the next few days. >> arthel: robert, do you think -- i would imagine you have some activity for the president. >> no, listen, i'm in agreement with steve. it is a pretty good deal. i would not agree it was a real negotiation. they were never going to default on credit. they said that going into the meeting. number two, they didn't cuts ending. if you are not cutting medicare, medicaid, social security and increasing military, there is no tax hike. you are only looking at discretionary nondefense. >> arthel: robert, robert...

because that is less than 15% of the budget so nothing is happening. this has a lot of drama for no reason, but i'm glad there was not an incredibly forest error. sorry. arthel. >> arthel: hang on for me, steve. when you start talking about cutting social security and messing with medicaid, that is problematic. okay -- >> but they did not have anything on the table. >> arthel: what about the tax incentives on the table for people who are really, really wealthy? what about those? >> i mean, that was a nonstarter for the g.o.p. >> let me add to this, biden came in and spent five to $6 trillion after the covid crisis was over that was the spending pinches in american history and the most responsibl. periods financial for the country.

but the greatest deal ever? no, but undoes some of the damage and the biggest issue right now and i talked to republican leadership about this, how many democrats will actually vote for this debt ceiling increase quest market does have reforms that they don't like and welfare reform. it is important. look they are the ones who spent the money and should be responsible for the debt ceiling. >> steve, that is so inaccurate. 25% of the debt was under the trump administration north of $7 trillion. we should be clear, that is not accurate with $30 trillion. 25% came with under a f four-yer period. >> arthel: i have to go and i knew you would disagree. steve moore, robert wolf, thank you very much. good to see you both. take care. >> much appreciated. >> bill: great conversation right there.
