>> todd: a fox news alert, bypass debt ceiling, timer on your i-phone, 7:13 eastern time tonight. the people in congress do this, sit this one out. you're watching "fox and friends first," i'm todd piro. >> ashley: i'm ashley strohmier in for carley shimkus. both sides are working eefrtime

to avoid a monday default, simple majority needed in the house and senate. >> this is a two-year deal, that is hope, dream and handshake you will commit to spending caps. >> nobody gets everything they want in negotiation. take two trillion savings. >> ashley: lucas tomlinson has more from washington. good morning. >> lucas: good morning. more time to watch more racing. debt ceiling deal only passed by a single vote, it needs 218 to pass. speaker mccarthy is confident it will. see where things stand. one democrat, aoc and third of know ares are against the bill. here is some speaking out against it. >> sending one person into a room with another person and no

cameras and they come out and say up or down, take it or leave it, that is not a good process. >> this is about increasing the credit card for prospective spending. >> this bill is smoke and mirrors, never are we talking about interest on existing debt. 32 trillion, one trillion is 30 billion. >> lucas: americans are over trillion dollars in debt on credit cards. these are biggest cuts in history of congress and calvin coolidge would be proud. >> this is just the first step. we've been waiting for years to get a chance to turn the direction of this country around and change starts with the bill. >> it protects seniors. >> fiscal responsibility act is step to restoring fiscal sanity and holding washington

accountable. >> lucas: at the white house, karine jean-pierre says the president has been busy on the telephone. >> the president has been engaging with members of congress throughout this process. that includes 100 one-on-one calls with members of congress. >> lucas: loudest critic, chip roy from texas issue says he is not done fighting. we have to regroup, come back to the table so we don't do what they did this weekend. >> lucas: congressional budget ofls says the bill would cut trillions over the next decade but the government is 31 trillion right now. >> todd: u.s. set to non- military aid package for ukraine worth 300 million, added to 37 billion already sent to ukraine

since russia's invasion last year. latest package includes ammunition for patriot system, missiles for tank system and anti-armor weapons. russian officials say ukrainian drone sparked a fire at an oil refinery overnight, one day after kyiv accused moscow of striking with another drone. joey jones speaking out against all the money the u.s. has been sending to ukraine. >> joey: we haven't spent enough on a war for safety and security of our homeland. i'm sure lindsay and others pining about money to be spent on war, believe this is the way to keep our country safe, is this way to keep our warriors

alive? i had a conversation yesterday with stacey grier, whose husband was standing beside me and took his life in the explosion that took my legs. where is the fiscal responsibility in endless wars and funding other country wars? >> ashley: more than 1700 amazon employees planning to walk out today to protest return to the office mandate. 870 of pledged protesters plan to demonstrate at the seattle headquarters, the company is pushing for employees to work in the office three days per week. planned demonstration, amazon wrote, we respect our employees

rights to express their opinions. >> todd: they want to be in pajamas still. >> ashley: covid is over, go back to work. >> todd: as long as i get my packages. jewish leaders and pro-israel -- want to strip this college from funding. >> reigns on worshippers murdering old and young. law is white supremacy that continues to oppress and suppress people in this nation and around the world. >> ashley: the deans might be applauding, former professor and exposing far left lunacy happening on campus, his fiery response next. >> watch the video and see the lunacy, cheering her on when she is spouting hateful, disgusting words. are more than their disease.

that's why, at novo nordisk, we've spent a hundred years developing treatments to help unlock humanity's full potential. these are the greats: people living with, thriving with — not held back by — disease. they motivate us to fight diabetes and obesity, rare diseases and cardiovascular conditions, for generations to come. so, everyone can meet their moment. because your disease doesn't define you. so, what will? novo nordisk. driving change.

(chainsaw revs) (tree crashes) (chainsaw continues) (daughter screams) let's pretend for a second that you didn't let down your entire family. what would that reality look like? well i guess i would've gotten us xfinity... and we'd have a better view. do you need mulch? what, we have a ton of mulch.

>> welcome back on this summer-like morning in the first week of unofficial start of summer. 60s and 70s.

cooler spot in new england, north atlantic. all of that warmth and moisture is fuelling showers, will continue to do so today. most shower activity in middle of the country in parts of northern texas and stretching up across the plains and northern plains before drifting across the midwest later in the day. that basic setup is going to continue as you are going to see temperatures. shower activity in the chicago area, upper midwest heat is building. close to 90 today, that will spark showers. mid-70s and dryer in the area. something to note, air quality, seeing wildfires across nova

s scotia. interesting feature made for nice sun sets here, probably another one tonight. wildfire smoke, nova scotia. it has been hazy if you notice in the sky, philadelphia to boston, wildfire smoke from canada. >> todd: it was really bad, i started coughing, it was a legit thing. this is no joke. thank you. a former city university of new york professor speaking out against one law student's horrifying commencement speech that claims our legal system is white supremacy. >> israel continues to reign bullets and bombs on

worshippers, murdering the old, the young, those who carry the revolution, the people, the masses, those who brought v violence and need protection. the law is manifestation of white supremacy that continues to oppress and suppress people in this nation and around the world. >> todd: a professor is baffled school officials let this speech happen, calling them far left lunatics. >> final version deferred from the original version handed to emthis. all you have to do is watch the video and see the lunatics clapping their hands, standing for her, chiefing her on when she's spouting venomous, hateful, disgusting, rageous words. >> todd: pro-israel groups and jewish allies are calling for

cuny to lose federal funding. the university says the school condemns hate speech and will not condone hateful rhetoric on campuses. where were you when this ultimately happened? big question. look, i understand the anti-israel backlash to what she said, that is a fair point. where i'm jumping off and what struck me, why go to law school in the first place, if you don't believe in the system of laws that we have and what is scary to me, she wasn't acting alone, she was voted on by her peers to give the speech, she was clapped for by peers and by the administration. last point, this is the next generation of lawyers that are going to be your judges, your practitioners, your politicians. if this is what the officers of

the court, which is what a lawyer is, next generation calling for active revolution, we're in trouble. >> ashley: and being chosen by peers is a huge red flag when you read the article. it makes you wonder what kind of nonsense professors are pedalling in school. people pay for universities and it is higher on the scale of concerning. i have to bring up a point. you see commencement speeches like this and then you saw harrison bucker, champ for the chiefs, gave commencement speech at georgia tech and says it doesn't matter where you are on the political spectrum, get married and start a family temperature is all about achievement and what you have achieved and accomplished over the last handful of years you have been in school.

that is the stuff people want to hear, we don't want to hear hate speech. free speech is different, this is hate speech, big difference. new york is supposed to be a melting pot of people, you would think there would be more respect for people in new york as a whole with different people here, a melting pot, but no respect. it is just no respect for human life. >> todd: you said people want to hear certain things in a speech, what freaks me out, the people at cuny wanted to hear that, they were clapping for that, that is terrifying. >> ashley: talk about the board of trustees denounced it, what is going to happen? and james comer set to confront fbi's christopher wray for missing another deadline in the biden family investigation.

>> todd: plus, look whose back. >> do you acknowledge mistakes were made along the way? >> in complex investigations there are always mistake, it doesn't mean the fbi is not competent, honest and independent. >> todd: i'm cool, james comey, doesn't have a tie, he has a befuddled look and will weigh in on all of it next. i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. thanks to skyrizi, i'm on my way with clearer skin. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months. and skyrizi is just 4 doses a year after 2 starter doses. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine, or plan to. nothing on my skin means everything! ♪ nothing is everything ♪ ask your dermatologist about skyrizi.

>> todd: james comer set to confront fbi director christopher wray today. >> ashley: brooke singman joans us live with the latest. >> brooke: james comer says hiding this information from the

american people is obstructionist and unacceptable. the back and forth between congress and fbi is over subpoenaed document that democrats say connects biden to a bribery scheme. yesterday the fbi missed a deadline to turn the document over for a third time. the bureau is pushing back. the fbi saying they remain committed to cooperating with the committee in good faith. in a letter to chairman comer, the fbi committed to providing information responsive in a format that maintains confidentiality that protectses integrity of fbi investigation. any escalation under circumstances is unnecessary and senator chuck grassley firing back saying he and comer have been more than patient with the fbi, failure to comply with

constitutional oversight comes with consequences. he says congress must defend oversight perogative. comer joined hannitt, listen. >> he's given us the run around for three weeks, he's stalling. he says good faith effort. they have not even admitted they have a document. we will do everything to hold him accountable and not messing around. this is a credible accusation and we want answers. >> brooke: contempt of congress charge will resemble those brought against steve bannon and he was sentenced to four month says in prison. >> todd: bring in joe t joe con this is one document the fbi had

years to sanitize for release. how bad does the fbi look here that it is willing to allow the director to be held in contempt to protect the biden family. >> joe: when you say years, we're talking five years, this investigation has been slow walked, as we heard from whistleblowers now. it is not like this is he said, she said thing, this is upon haing. the head of the house oversight committee will hold the fbi in contempt regarding key information that involves the sitting president as pertains to millions funneled to said president's family, including his brother, son, niece and perhaps even himself and abc, nbc, cbs, their evening newscast ignored this bombshell

development last night. if it was the other way around and you had nancy pelosi or schiff sending the subpoena during the trump era, you can be sure there would be wall to wall coverage. instead, it is silence of the lambs. >> ashley: this guy is back, former fbi director james comey says there is nothing new in the durham report. watch this. >> do you acknowledge mistakes were made along the way? >> definitely, and they were found four years ago by the inspector general, nothing new in this document. in complex investigations, there are mistakes, it doesn't mean the fbi is incompetent. >> ashley: of course deny the fbi didn't do anything wrong, it would implicate him in some way, shape or form. >> joe: precisely, the next book deal might go away.

james comey has written two books, completely anti-trump, he was fbi director and had huge impact on the 2016 election. showtime gave him a full-scale documentary, mini-series, portraying him as this shining light within the swamp of d.c. james comey on msnbc, that is perfect, that was probably an audition, he likes nothing more than attention, the spotlight and the vanity of whatever his former position provided him. i guarantee at some point, he will join the other people who are on cable news telling you how horrible conservatives are and how they are the protectors of the institutions that we hold dear. it is pathetic to watch. >> todd: i'm glad you said the word swamp, comey goes after trump here and it reeks of the

swamp being scared. listen. >> i think he poses near existential threat to the rule of law and do everything he can to tear down institutions he sees as threats and dismantle the apolitical people in government. >> todd: the deep state is scared of what trump is going to do to the dc administrative state, is that what comey is saying there? >> joe: precisely what he is saying there. james comey, conducted himself and i thinka erred republicans and democrats, as well, while he was fbi director. he's now made that institution, as far as the fbi, look political and people on the ground in the fbi, as far as folks that do the job that is the hard part, not at the top, not the executive people whoun

are the department, the people on the ground are unfairly painted that way. they are protecting the country and enforcing the rule of law. the people at the top are the problem and we'll see whether christopher wray goes ahead and gives over this information as far as the subpoena. if not, that continues fair or not. >> ashley: joe, we have to get to this, too good, about the 2024 campaign. desantis and trump campaigning in iowa, desantis wants trump to focus on biden and desantises he will. this is the weird one, the white house is dodging answers on biden campaign plans. watch. >> peter: it's been a month since the re-election announcement, will president biden hold an event ever? >> i will say this to you, peter, as you know, we follow the rule of law here. we believe in following the rule of law, as it relates --

>> peter: asking you about his schedule, you can't say if he will be campaigning for election. >> i will not comment from here on 2024 re-election. >> ashley: i need a quick response to all that, if you can. >> joe: 10 seconds, joe biden announced candidacy a month ago, he has yet to do a campaign or hold a solo press conference this year period. he wants to win by pleading the fifth and that is not how it works, but it worked in 2020, perhaps that is how it works. >> ashley: wait until you see this, chinese fighter jet flies dangerously close to u.s. fighter plane in u.s. airspace, we have response from the white house. >> todd: and leading experts in ai say it could lead to

extinction, we have questions, hopefully cheryl casone has answers next. whoa. okay. easy does it. we switched to liberty mutual and saved $652. they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. with the money we saved, we thought we'd try electric unicycles. whoa! careful, babe! saving was definitely easier. hey babe, i think i got it! it's actually... whooooa! ok, show-off! help! oh! only pay for what you need.

the u.s. plane to fly through its wake. the air force saying their aircraft was conducting safe and routine operation allowed by international law, calling the chinese jet's swerve an unnecessarily aggressive maneuver. >> ashley: ai experts issuing warning about dangers of artificial intelligence, saying the technology could lead to our extinction. >> todd: cheryl, talk of human extinction on wednesday morning. >> cheryl: comparing to other thins that are real, emerging technology that does not have the power to extinct us as humans, be clear here. inflammatory, this statement. center for ai safety issued a statement, mitigating risk of extinction from ai should be global priority alongside other

risks like pandemic and nuclear war. critics are saying, you are putting the cart before the horse. writer daniel jeffrey tweeting, ai risk and harm is a status game where everyone piles on to the bankmandwagon to themselvesk good. point to elon musk, who wanted to pause ai development for six whole months. the chinese are going down that road. ai has been under development for years and years, critics say guard rails can be in place. guard rails, not stopping, inflammatory statements like this coming from the center for ai safety, which i have a feeling was created a month ago, i don't know, i will find out.

inflammatory language is causing issues, misinformation about what ai really is. >> ashley: still scares me. democrats have had last minute amendment and now want to fine thousands of dollars. this is ridiculous. >> cheryl: democrats pass this and it was last-minute, this amendment to bill that was in process. looking like a clean bill and they added $5000 per day if a school board attempts to block biological male from participating in women activities or using women's facilities. now i want you to listen to nevada senator hanson talking about this is what he calls the bud light amendment. listen. >> i would call this amendment the bud light amendment, that is a major controversy across the state, enormous backlash on this issue and to do this as floor

amendment and not have hearings and put on bill that was fine and all, both parties supported in the other house, is absolutely abuse of the process. >> cheryl: he is a republican, you talk to nevada parent last hour. >> the fact they utilize bill that parents were excited about to slip something in like this, it is not just underhanded, it is taking power fromern pas to control what their children are being taught in school. we've seen girls be injured in competition when you add a biological male to competitions and these are high school sports. we are taking opportunity away from girls to compete and putting them in danger. >> todd: so proud, snuck it on on friday before memorial day, when no business happens in the united states of america. finally, i am nervous about this

one, is chick-fil-a the latest victim of woke? >> cheryl: good answer, i can tell you what we know so far that chick-fil-a is doing. they have appointed a vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion for the company, this gentleman has been with the company for a decade already. many people on twitter are upset saying, will we have to go after chick-fil-a on twitter? there is divide right now, poll put out that was half and half. some say to cancel chick-fil-a and others say it is okay. here is what joy manareno tweeted. this is bad, very bad, i don't want to have to boycott, do we have to boycott? we love chick-fil-a. james lindsays, chick-fil-a will be called to repent soon. here is what chick-fil-a says about diversity, equity and

inclusion. chick-fil-a commitment to being better at together means embedding diversity, equity and inclusion in everything we do. when you say embedding, usually dei is how you run the business, it is about the workforce makeup and making sure you have diverse workforce, not forcing lgbtq or whatever you put in the business side. you have employee and front-facing business saturday and to me, chick-fil-a needs to wake up, we'd like more information that set your alarm clocks and get out of bed, do you mean are there new initiatives in the restaurant? or is it because they want to make sure they have diverse workforce within the corporation? we don't know yet. >> todd: i love the undercurrent for this, when bud light, no one trying to defend the beer.

people are like, chick-fil-a, can you find a way out of this? >> cheryl: we love chick-fil-a. love to hear from chick-fil-a. >> todd: thank you. >> ashley: e- mail them. >> todd: cheryl is on it. demo democrats' green energy agenda. >> ashley: how a car dealership says it is hurting their business, next.

circumstances. ic >> ashley: the driver, david fuller is not facing charges, but the passenger, omarri shariff tobias is facing charges. >> todd: new gas-powered jeep wrangler, $20,000 cheaper than an electric one. do you have same demand for electric jeeps and gas-powered ones? >> not at the present time because of the price differential and the affordability piece of the equation. >> todd: if you don't have the demands and not getting gas-powered cars, only the

electric, what will that do to your bottom line? >> the moment of cars of gas-powered cars away from delaware will have a note negative effect of increasing the payments to delawareans. >> todd: if this hurts people's bottom line, not selling as many cars, it will hurt jeep's bottom line. why does a company do something that cost shareholders money? that is what i can't wrap my head around. >> jeep was looking to get grandfathered into federal regulations that would have allowed it to ramp up ev's to the market place. since they got purchased, they

are not grandfathered into the system and been put in a position where they have to the electric vehicles to california states which delaware is in the process of trying to adopt. the way it is being done, it is be being going through rules and regulation committee in delaware, instead of going through the legislature. which is what we think is better way to go to help listen to the average delaware taxpayer. >> todd: you mentioned the manufacturing company, we reached out and they said, we will continue making available to doolers all models manufacturing for our line makes. however, vehicles with electrified power train, we may be compelled to more power train vehicles to california states and fewer to remaining federal states.

communication to dealers acknowledge reality that we may need to adjust vehicle allocation to ensure the company complies with different standards. that is a little lengthy and in the weeds. basically california's far left performances are ruining it for the rest of us, especiallily states like delaware that decided to adopt the california standards, right? >> right. it would be nice to have one standard, the federal standard. in so choosing to join the california standard, the transaction price goes up, hurting delaware taxpayers. >> todd: we have to draft 50 state documents, 49 states have one way, california the other

and it drives up cost on everybody and that cost gets passed to the consumer. we are expecting a vote on the debt ceiling bill tonight and dozens of republicans do not support it. kevin o'leary knows about making a deal, we'll ask if this is the best option for americans. >> ashley: first steve doocy will look at what is coming up on "fox and friends." >> steve: i do indeed. good morning america. coming up in nine minutes and 52 seconds, contempt of congress? republicans threatening fbi director christopher wray after he did not hand over biden documents related to an alleged $5 million bribery scheme, that is the story out there. congressman james comer will join us on the steps they are taking and republican contenders hope to make a splash in iowa,

both donald trump and ron desantis battle for voters in the hawkeye state. iowa voter panel will weigh in on their top issues. plus, a stunning admission, perhaps? china former top covid-19 official admits he can't rule out the lab leak theory. does this prove the superpower has been suppressing vital information on the origin this whole time and bud light, target and others haven't learned some things and neither have the dodgers. how woke marketing is a huge mistake and how the l.a. team should have known better than to invite a certain group. all that at the top of the hour.

we are at the cusp of defaulting. everybody knows you have to give something up. pain on both sides of the aisle that's why you know it's going to work. takes off the table the debt ceiling debated right through the election cycle which is important. we can go back and debate spending again through the election. that will happen in deal is going to get done and good things for markets, good things for america and business. there are bonuses in this bill i like. for example a pipeline is going to get approved. better policy on permitting. those of us that want to invest in energy independence like me in west virginia and north dakota, oklahoma, this looks good. i like what i'm seeing here. >> todd: we have heard politicians on both sides say what they think will and will not happen if we do default. you've expressed some optimism that this is a good deal. but, when it comes to what happens if we default, i like go to a business guy like you, because you actually know you are not talking through your you know what like these politicians. what would happen businesswise both here and internationally if

we defaulted? >> if we defaulted, what would happen and you can measure it within hours is the price of our treasury bills yield would double our quadruple, it would be like venezuelan debt. all of a sudden instead of being 4% or 5% it would be 11ers% 17%. the cost would skyrocket. the government wouldn't be able to function any services at all. it would be a catastrophe. everybody knows that both size of the aisle know that this is a default of the earth. prices commodities all around the world. the idea that the american government would default is a fiction. it's a fiction. it would never happen. it would be a very, very bad idea, irresponsible for any politician to use it to get air time. and that's what some of them are doing on both sides of the aisle. i don't blame them. they have hard work ahead of them. we are going to do this deal because it's the right thing for everybody involved. >> you say that it's a 50/50

split between who came out better between democrats and republicans on this? >> everybody hates this deal and that's why it's going to happen. i'm going to tell you it's not enough spending cut. i get it. it certainly erased some of the programs that biden felt really passionately about. student dent gets resolved yes you have to pay back your student debt. you have to work if you are getting welfare. all these issues are around the edges. this deal just solves for the debt ceiling. it doesn't change much and doesn't really reduce the deficit. that's for more policy decisions over the next 18 months. i like what this is setting up. we are going right into the election cycle right after this. we are starting to see desantis, trump, other politicians start to use this debt ceiling as a springboard for new policy agenda. i think that's a good thing for the country. >> todd: speaking of which a "wall street journal" deadline says wall street dreads a biden-trump rematch and quotes a senior wall street negotiator who explained, quote: everybody is hoping for a miracle, nobody

wants wind, nobody wants trump. let's focus on the biden part of this. who does the far left limousine liberal big donor class if they don't want biden, kevin? >> the truth is it just doesn't matter anymore. it's more about policy if you are trying to raise money. obviously, they are concerned about his age. let's put that on the table. they would like to see a more dynamic discussion about leadership that may be new in terms of real debate. but that doesn't matter. at the end of the day, if he can continue to keep his caucus together, and he does want to run again, that's his purview as existing president. is that great strategy to win? you simply don't know. but, this is a tough one because it also puts the vp at play. harris is not very popular in her party. and so you wonder if that ticket should be somehow expected if biden is staying at the top of it. all of these are on the table. but the thing that really, really matters now is how do you

keep your narrative so that people want to hear it? and this is going to be a remarkable election cycle because social media is now the most important. >> todd: kevin o'leary is going to be around for it. before we go it has been a pleasure with you the last four months my friend. >> ashley: it's been so nice with you and with you as well. carley is back tomorrow.
