arthel: big crowds at dodger stadium in los angeles last night but not for the game. protesters took over an entire block and jammed the entrance to the ballpark ahead of a pride night if event honoring a controversial group of drag nuns. hello, everyone, ask welcome to "fox news live." i'm arthel neville. hi, mike. mike: i'm mike emmanuel in for eric shawn. the dodgers gave an award to the sisters of perpetual indulgence, a chair organization made up of drag and transgender people dressed up as nuns.

the tenth annual dodgers' pride night ceremony took place an hour before the game. outside demonstratedders had signs calling, quote, anti-catholic hate. senior correspondent claude claudia -- claudia cowan with more. >> reporter: catholic protesters are counting last night's demonstration as a win. about 3400 fewer fanses attended dodgers' pride night compared to last year, that according to the catholic league, one of many groups that called for the boycott of last night's game. though previously disinvited but then reinvited group of transand queer satirical nuns were -- honored with the award. the ceremony happened well before the team usually holds we game events. the dodgers said that was for safety reasons. relatively few fanses were in the stands to witness it.

however, outside the stadium some 2,000 protesters blocked entrances and voiced their anger. [inaudible conversations] [speaking spanish] >> reporter: dodgers fans and people of faith said their issue wasn't with the nuns' charitable group, but rather with their satirical skitses and flamboyant costumeses that many catholics feel mock not only nuns, but religion itself. a much smaller group of counterprotesters said the demonstration is anti-queer. >> they preach love, but they're actually doing this in a time in which trans people's lives are actually further endangered. >> this isn't against any lgbtq community, but it's more about the fact that this group is mocking catholics. >> reporter: the protests were peaceful, and there were no arrests. meanwhile, the dodgers will be helding christian faith and family day on july 30th.

it's an event they have hell in the past but not since the pandemic. and for those who came for the baseball, mikes a bit of a disappointment for the home team. the dodgers lost the first in a three-game series to their big rival, my san francisco giants, 7-5. mike: congrats to the giants. claudia cowan, thanks very much. arthel? arthel: all right, mike and claudia, there is a new twist in the legal trouble facing ufc superstar conor mcgregor. it involves the woman who claims he sexually assaulted her during an nw -- nba finals game in miami last weekend. that is the same night his halftime 40 to promotion -- promotional skit sent the mascot to the hospital. >> reporter: tmz has obtained a new video appearing to show connor mcgregor and the accuser about 30 minutes after the woman alleged she was sexually assault by the champion, an allegation mcgregor and his attorney have

denied. the video was captured at around 12:40 a.m. on june 10th in miami showing mcgregor and the woman chatting at a club table holding drinks before mcgregor leaves the arena. telling t tmz the video shows a visibly awkward interaction adding in part this is another video that supports what is my client has been saying and separates who she told police since the inception of this this incident. the woman's story allegedly keeps changing. tmz says it's obtain other video showing mcgregor and the woman interacting in the club including one -- mcgregor was accused of a raping a won woman in ireland, but police and prosecutors investigated and declined to pursue criminal charges. at the time his spokesperson told "the new york times" the allegations were, quote,

categorically rejected. the woman later sued, the daily mail reports those civil proceedings are still ongoing with. arthel? arthel: c.b. cotton, thank you very much for those details. well, the inflation that's been hurting the biden economy, or the economy, for months is finally cooling down according to the latest data. but food prices remain high, and that's taking a toll on the restaurant industry which is still recovering from the pandemic's worker shortage and supply chain issues. inflation slowed to just 4% last month, and this is the lowest reading in two years. the national restaurant association says full servicemen you prices in may were 6.8% higher than last year, and they were up 8% at limited service restaurants. let's bring in steve healey now, ceo of the the california-based -- works which bills itself as the world's largest -- chain. steve, let's take this slowly. as you well know, the consumer

price index measures how much you pay for things like food or cars or rent. if inflation is high, it means you pay more for those same items, your money doesn't go as far. so if inflation is starting to cool, why is this cpi up, and why are you paying more to supply your restaurant? >> hi, arthel. a thanks. yeah, great question. yeah, we're not seeing as much -- we're not seeing deflation in our commodity costs, that's for sure. so we did see a huge escalation in our commodity costs as we went through the pandemic. i think the challenge is that we're not seeing them go down, for sure, and we're seeing just consistent increases now over time. not as much, as dramatically as during the pandemic when global supply chain issues really kicked in and came into play particularly for us because we get our products from around the

world. but it's just this continued creeping in pricing whether it's the food products, labor costs, services. we're just not seeing any kind of leveling a off. it's not -- arthel: so is then how, so, steve, how can you offset your overhead to keep your menu prices in a range that won't drive away your customers? >> you have to be very entrepreneurial, at least that's been our approach. look for creative ways to manage your costs as well as, you know, we took price increases last year like a lot of restaurants. we had to. but we're really more thoughtful now that we're into this year and given that we took some significant price increases last year. so we're looking any ways that we can to buy smarter, to buy further out and also to look at

different ways of offering our product that give the consumers places to find value on the menu. we're a premium brand. we serve a lot of seafood -- arthel: yeah. because i'm thinking you do, yeah, you deal with a lot of seafood, steve, i'm jumping in because you can't buy too far out because you're dealing with fresh poke. you're the ceo of a very large chain. what is the biggest concern between now and the end of the year for you? >> the biggest concern for us is continuing to keep our guests engaged and keep them coming back. so we've lean very heavily into things like loyalty programs and our reward programs so that our most frequent guests have ways of finding value without, you know, having to raise prices. so you come back more often, you get rewards and offers, and that keeps those folks engaged and

feeling like, okay, there's something in this relationship for us with pokeworks that they're helping us to find value without continuing to raise prices. we really leaned into those kinds of programs. arthel: okay. well, then what's your advice then for smaller restaurant chains or, you know, individual mop and pop restaurant owners? what would you suggest they do? >> yeah. i think, i think my -- our approach and my advice would be, number one, don't compromise quality. we always put quality number one. i think there's always an instinct sometimes to say, okay, we can find product cheaper, but it might not be the best quality product. so, you know, don't compromise on your quality. be creative in how you deliver the product. we lean very heavily into digital orders during the pandemic, and now it's a big part of our business. so the guests still want to order through the delivery companies, they want to order

online. we've built a lot of our revenue now in those channels, so lean in to those digital sales because the consumer wants convenience. and i think what we've learned too is the restaurant experience is back. during the pandemic a lot of consumers were just happy to be able to get food delivered to their door or be able to walk many and grab a bag of food. arthel: right. but now we want to to come in and sit down and enjoy the restaurant. so, again, to those small -- you have it down. because you are successful, wanted to know wrapping up here how you can, you know, encourage the smaller mom and pop restaurants to get us, lure us back in there and enjoy experience. >> yeah. i mean, deliver on that experience, deliver on the engagement and why guests come do restaurants. they really want that the in-store experience where they feel welcome and just deliver at a high level on the quality. and i think that will get your

consumers back. and at times you have to be a bit more promotive and perhaps offer some deals and some incentives to get guests to come in, get them off the couch and give them a reason to i say, okay, well, i can find value in your on -- your concept. you have the give people reasons to want to come, walk in your door. arthel: yeah. bottom line. the takeaways are you've got to have the good quality, don't skimp on that. you have to have great customer service and courteous and a good experience in the restaurant, good music overhead. all right, steve healey, i have to run. thank you for your time. [laughter] take care. mike? mike: arthel, hunter biden was back in an arkansas courtroom yesterday e for his child support case. the president's son was deposed by attorneys for the mother of his 4-year-old daughter who was also in the courtroom. he was grilled about his finances because he's been pushing to lower his $20,000

mike: arizona authorities say a man was mauled to death as a -- by a bear on his property. the man was found dead next to the black bear about 100 miles north of phoenix. a local sheriff's office says the man was building a home in a wooded area where the bear attacked, apparently unprovoked. neighbors shouted and honked horns to try and scare the animal off. one shot and killed the bear, but it was too late to save the victim. the the arizona game and fish department calls the incident highly unusual.

>> we have watched as she has portrayed herself as a grieving widow and victim while trying to profit from the death of my brother. i am truly concerned that she will stop at nothing to dig her way out of the problems including murder. mike: that's the sister-in-law of the utah mother of three on trial for poisoning her husband in march 2022. after he died, she wrote a children's book on coping with grief. she was later charged with her husband's murder. prosecutors say the cell phone they recovered from her is loaded with incriminating evidence. her legal team says the prosecution's case has some flaws. let's bring in lexie is rig, do defense attorney. welcome. >> thanks, mike. mike: let's start with the prosecutor reading corey's text to her best friend about performing cpr. >> i pumped so damn hard, so

hard screaming at him to come back to life. >> yes. upon beginning those compressions, eric began to foam at the mouth. he stated that that observation indicated that cpr was not likely conducted before he arrived. mike: so the evidence shows that paramedics were the first to perform cpr. how damaging is that for her case? >> that's very damaging. and what's also very damaging is what with i call the new dna which is basically the cell phone evidence. we've seen people undone for cell phone evidence in so many high profile cases, kohberger, murtaugh, this is just another one is buzz she -- because she every the they had a moscow mule, she woke up to find him cold and start cpr. not only does it seem she didn't actually start the cpr, but she

was actually doing a lot of incriminating google including googling luxury prison is the and when you can expect a life insurance payout if a death certificate is still pending. in addition to to her discrepancy says with what she told people and the evidence, the cell phone evidence and the google searches are very, very hard to explain in the context of incidence. of innocence. mike: she says they were celebrating because she had just sold a home as a real estate agent. she says she made him that moscow mule cocktail and brought with it to him in their bedroom, then she went to bed in the bedroom of one of her children. how does the defense raise a reasonable doubt about that? >> well, the defense has already sort of telegraphed that at this hearing, basically saying that the alleged motive which was money does not make you a murderer, and that is a really important -- that's going to be a really important point for them. and what i think is very interesting about this case is it seems as though everybody knows that the you kill your spouse, you're the first one

that's going to be looked at. and it seems like the motive in this case was financial, and now she's going to be stuck in jail for a long time, potentially forever, with $10 in the commissary if she's lucky. so if the one was actually her goal and she actually gets convicted, she did not get the life she wanted by choosing this route which so often happens where people choose death over divorce. mike: there are also questions about her actions after her husband's death. >> she bought a $2 million home within a couple of days of her passing. does that sound suspicious to a juriesome. >> absolutely. she also took vacation, she went to a spain with the kids, she went to mexico with the kids. she tried to explain it, but her behavior is very us pix. writing the grief book, you just couldn't make that up. that sounds like something out of a movie that she's accused of killing her husband and she also wrote a grief book. including the fact that she actually, if this comes in at the trial, punched his sister

over a fight about money after his death. mike: we see her emotion if, we're showing the audience on the screen her breaking down as some of this is being brought up in the case. does the emotion play well with the jury, and what about putting her on the stand? was that possibly a way to help spare her from serious or prison time? >> well, juries do the pay attention to defendants. they look at them and like in the case of alec murtaugh where he was literally sobbing, and they convicted him within two hours. so i think the juries can kind of tell when emotion is genuine and when it's not. it's her right to testify, and she's the only one that can ultimately a make the decision whether she's going to testify or not. but there are so many things that she would have a very hard time explaining, not the least of which was taking out four life insurance policies in the years preceding his death and all of her google searches. i don't think this is a case where she's going to to testify; but she does have unbelievable i hubris, so who knows?

mike: lexie, these days we're all walking around with these very sophisticate electronic devices. you touched on it earlier about her googling as her husband was dying or just after his death. what about the evidence that these gadgets collect from all of us as we go about our daily lives and the potential impact on a trial? >> like i said, that's in part how bryan kohberger was arrested because they triangulated his movements, and they're going to be seeing who she was text messaging, how she got the fentanyl which is the allegation from the prosecution which which, of course, the defense has denied and said there's not enough evidence at least to keep her detained that that he tried to obtain fentanyl. but her text messages and all of the activity leading up to the murder is going to be of paramount importance including the fact she was searching how to delete things remotely. mike: we're neary out of time --

nearly out of time, but if you were handling this case, how worried would you be? >> i'd be very worried because i think that there is a lot of evidence. even the judge said that there was the standard this utah to hold somebody, there's a presumption against bail in the case of aggravated murder, but even the judge said there is substantial the evidence at least to hold her that this crime was committed. and i think the evidence against her is very strong. if i were her and on her team, i would be very concerned about her fate. mike: lexie, thanks for your analysis, great to have you. >> thank you. mike: arthel? arthel: mike, thank you. well, a north carolina high school volleyball player is speak out against trans students playing in female sports. peyton mcnabb says she suffered a concussion and other injuries when a trans athlete spiked a ball into her face last fall. she's pushing to ban biological males from competing against females, and this week her home state took a ten toward doing

just that. charles walletson joins us now with more on this story. >> reporter: hey, good afternoon, arthel. north carolina high school volleyball peyton mcnabb is taking issue with the response to a question in regard to parents' concerns about biological men competing against biological women in girls' sports. take a listen to this. >> reporter: what would the president say to parents out are there who have daughters say in high school, for example, who are worried that their daughter may have to compete against a male, a person born male and worry about their daughters' safety? >> that is a dangerous thing to say, that essentially transgender kids we're talking about are dangerous. >> reporter: yeah, and a little background on in this in terms of mcnabb, this issue really hits close to the home to her. she has been outspoken against biological male athletes competing against biological female athletes since last fall when a transgender place, as you mentioned, arthel, on an opposing team spikedded a

volleyball in her face causing her a concussion and neck injury. mcnabb is urging lawmakers to take action while calling the biden administration's stance hypocritical. >> i think she's taken what others have said about how this is dangerous for us, and she has essentially switched it around and played the victim from the situation which i expect nothing less from that whole administration. >> reporter: yeah, and so legislators in mcman's home -- mcnabbman's home state of north carolina are trying to address this issue, a bill specifically banning anyone who was designated a male at birth from competing in girls' sports is likely to.com a vote on the floors of both the north carolina house and senate in the coming weeks. democratic governor roy cooper is expected to oppose the measure if it does pass both chambers. and if even if governor cooper does veto that bill, arthel, north carolina -- republicans in north carolina have a supermajority, so the chances that the bill still becomes a law are very good.

mike: president biden speaking just minutes ago at his first official 2024 campaign rally many philadelphia.

it comes nearly two months after he announced his re-election bid. he faces dismal polling numbers and mounting concerns even from within his own party about his age and cognitive ability. despite that, he's also gaining some major endorsements. alexandria hoff is live in philadelphia with more. hi, alex. >> reporter: hi, mike. yeah, the president actually took the stage about 30 minutes ahead of schedule and added some volume to what has been a quiet campaign season at the white house so far. his debut re-election rally was hosted by the afl-cio, a federation of about 60 unions that just lent their endorsement to the president recently, earliest in history, they say. the president called himself the most pro-labor president in history, accusing other politicians of not being able to say the word union. and then towards the end of his speech, he shared this with the crowd. >> let me tell you something,

the republicans after what i've done when they come back to try to get with rid of all these clean energy investments, today try to top the plan, when they try to do these things, guess what? they're coming for your jobs. they're coming for your jobs. >> reporter: yeah, that took the wind out of the room a little bit for that moment there. in 2020 labor unions did give president biden a boost making up some of the losses that democrats had a faced in 2016, but we've seen in the past you have individuals within labor unions, and and they don't necessarily vote as a bloc. right now the president's approval hangs at 40%. so as these rallies continue, president biden has to make his appeal clear. and while there didn't appear to be any major is hiccups, at the end of an event last night in connecticut, there was one line that sparked a bit of confusion.

>> all right? god save the queen, man. ♪ >> reporter: yeah, you heard that there, god save the queen. we know that the queen of england died last year, the white house later said the the president was addressing someone off stage. today's focus on workers started earlier as president biden surveyed by air the work being done to install a temporary fix for the section of i-95 in northeast philadelphia that was destroyed after a deadly tanker crash and fire on sunday. the president called it the most important project in the country right now. governor josh shapiro said that he anticipates traffic being able to actually get through that section of i-95 two weeks from now with that temporary fix that officials had talked about implementing before a more permanent one can be installed. i do want to mention something else from earlier today, president biden was asked if he thinks this contest coming up is going to get nasty, are this

campaign take a alternative turn where harsh words will be shared and he said, quote, it depends on who the nominee is, presumably talking about on the gop side. mike? mike: alexandria hoff reporting live from philadelphia, thanks very much. arthel? arthel: mike, check this out. millions of americans still lack smell or taste years after being infected with the coronavirus. a new study finds roughly 1 in 4 people who were sick early on are still waiting to regain those senses. 2021 data from a national health interview survey found more than 60% of people who contracted covid-19 lost their sense of smell. and more than 58% lost taste. more than 4% -- 24% said they had partial recovery of both senses while more than 3% reported no recovery. let's bring in dr. marc siegel now, fox news medical contributor. so, dr. marc, right off the bat,

why? what causes this? >> well, arthel, we know a lot more -- good afternoon. we know a lot more than we used to. here's what causes it, the earlier versions of the virus before omicron, because omicron doesn't do this very much which is good news. the earlier versions when the virus got up there into the nose, it caused a lot of inflammation and debris and what happened is that the nerves from the brain from the olfactory hope of the brain that sends tentacles down into the nose for smell started to withdraw. they say get out of here, let's get out of here. they don't want nerves to be where inflammation is going on. that withdrawal of nerves causes the loss of smell. now, as you start to recover and the inflammation goes away, the brain is signaled to start sending those tentacles back, and that's why you see partial or full recovery in most cases. but as you said, not all cases. and one last point, you realize

the old factory lobe is right next to brain itself, and that's also why you saw a lot of brain fog, the asylum kind of -- same kind of situation. arthel: wow. you explained that so clearly. especially the brain fog, i think i might have had that, because i actually did get covid once. regardless of the mask, you're bound to get it. haas a whole other aside there, dr. marc. is there a way to reverse this whole losing the smell? because i know it sucks, but does prolonged lack of shell and tate affect your health overall? can you reverse it, and how does it affect your overall health? >> first of all, that's an excellent question, and people that are suffering from it, it's very, very disturbing. you can actually by reacquainting yourself with strong smells bring it back. the other thing that you're hinting at here is you need that sense of smell not just for

enjoying food, but what happens if there's smoke or pyre? you've to got to know. you need it as a warning sign. and there's a study out that you can actually do nerve block withs to block the area so that the smell comes back. some people automatically recover. this should be for really severe cases because over time, and you said this at the beginning, it's two years into where that data came from, and i'm finding with my patients that most recover even if it takes several months. arthel: okay, okay. dr. marc, can covid finally be put in the same basket as the flu or knew moan ya? pneumonia? >> i think so, but if we say that too soon, people stop thinking about it, ask one of the things that i need to certain size here is that one of the things that kept you from getting that loss of sense of smell and taste or brain fog was having been vaccinated.

so while i want people to understand we are out of this pandemic, don't be shy to tell your doctor, hey, i may have this again because i have things i can do, and i'm a very big fan of that that antiviral drug, paxlovid. we want to keep it on our minds but understand that in the sense of a pandemic, i don't think it's coming back as a pandemic. arthel: uh-huh. well, that's good news, and i am totally vaxxed, as you know -- >> of course. arthel: when i did get it, i was fortunate, didn't have any symptoms other than boredom because i had to stay at home, inside for two weeks. [laughter] >> and no brain fog. i don't care what you say, no brain fog, arthel. arthel: oh, i got it. [laughter] thank you, but i got it. [laughter] all right, dr. marc, we'll see you again. [laughter] >> great to see you. mike: secretary of state antony blinken expected to land in beijing just hours from now on a hong-delayed trip to china with hopes of improving ties between
