rich edson is at the white house with the latest. he did not make the trip but can he report on it. >> no trip for me but we will see where the day goes. he spent his weekend in philadelphia. he made his first major campaign rally of the campaign cycle. he announced major union endorsements in filly. today biden's first stop in california takes him to a nature preserve in palo alto where a white house official says he will tour a coastal wet land and announce more than $600 million in projects to help the u.s. expand more extreme weather from climate change. campaign money in silicon valley. gavin newsom will reportedly be at one of these events this evening. also in california today, florida governor and presidential candidate ron desantis who hab eggs on newsom to challenge biden for the democratic nomination. >> stop pussy footing around. are you going to throw your hat in the ring and challenge joe? are you going to get in and do it or are you just going to sit on the sidelines and chirp?

says that much of biden. whatever opinion of biden is somewhat baked into the cake. i think the american people understand. they have a clear eye of joe biden and his shortcomings. what this poll reflects and to explain john karl's shock is that the american people, when it comes to this indictment, he is suggesting wow, how did the indictment not push down the numbers of donald trump? the answer to that is that the american people see this entire story and they are answering you that this is about -- this is about a system and the media that they no longer trust and they are passing their opinion on, you are not going to control what we believe about who should be the next president of the united states. >> ainsley: well, you know, all the people they talk to are democrats. they cater to democrats. those are their viewers. and they are shocked. they are shocked when they see a poll like this. they cannot believe that the american people still, after everything, would still vote for trump. and then you have republicans and they are shocked that they

are not covering it fairly. that this is happening to trump and not to biden, who also had classified information. and they also -- there is a part of them that feels like he is not being treated fairly so we will vote for him because we know -- we like his policies. he is tough. and we see. now the curtain is opening and we see what is happening. >> brian: dig beeper in that poll. republicans and independents who lean republican in february they were asked what do you think of trump. 68% say they have a favorable view. now it's at 76% have a favorable view after two indictments. >> will: that's because what i'm trying to say look at these polls and look at elections that's a referendum on a politician. at this moment in time, that poll is a referendum -- i'm using him as an illustration. that poll is a referendum on you, john karl. that's a referendum on the fbi. that's a referendum on the department of justice. that's a referendum on all of you thought would impact would impact the minds of the american people. instead what the american people are saying is i don't think we want to hear what you have to

say anymore. you have no trust. >> ainsley: no credibility. >> brian: two things stood out this weekend. number one is george stephanopoulos last week when wees interviewing with jim trusty. you talk about d dual justice wt about joe biden has documents in his garage whoa, whoa, you can't say that. >> why not? >> brian: they have no idea. they have totally forgot therein is a same investigation into the president and chuck todd. do you understand the american people see what's going on with trump and they have their own opinions but they have seen a dual track of justice. he goes what are you talking about in the russia collusion? horowitz said there was reason for investigation. horowitz eviscerated the whole investigation. but chuck todd has no idea that for four years he jammed russia down everybody's throat. >> ainsley: he is probably not aware of burisma either. >> brian: the durham report. as well as the mueller report. and then you have horowitz ig

report which eviscerated comey and everybody. but they don't read it so they don't understand how people feel on the other side. >> ainsley: brian, remember during a period in june when it it was the 45th through -- producers like the 5th through the 12th. nbc, cbs, zero reporting on the burisma story like what was it 2991 minutes on donald trump's indictment? >> brian: yeah. it was overwhelming because the historic indictment. you have got to think at the other side just let me bring this up. there is some movement 'some bank records that reveal that perhaps the biden family was at least you can say the investigation reveals the biden family was profiting off president biden and when he was vice president at some of these business dealings. to be reviewed further. so my hope is that catherine herridge at cbs will get some air time to pursue that story. >> will: meanwhile, we move to the crime crisis in the united states of america that is proliferated from coast to coast. bring you a story from colorado

got slashed from the top of his head to his chin. he got an 8-inch scar now. by the way, that guy that gave him that scar is out. point is the entire system is telling you the only thing you can be in these interactions, you can't stand up, you will get fired. you can't defend like daniel penny you will have charges. the only thing you can be a victim. that's it. >> brian: the family of that 41-year-old now dead jordan neely said at the press conference when you saw him get on the subway, you -- why didn't anyone say i could see you are troubled. how can i help you? that's exactly what this guy did. and he was channeling danny penn penny. i don't want this to get out of control and i don't want someone to die here. he gets slashed from the top of his head all the way down which will probably never go away. >> ainsley: watch the circle k video he she said he is on me. comes back to the register.

threatening taiwan. one side still covering up a devastating pandemic. we have to push back on this message from the chinese communist party that they are somehow anything less than cooperation with the world order they desire is choosing cob flicks. >> they are choosing conflict. the risk here is that we will abandon important defensive actions in order to engage in a series of endless, fruitless talks with the ccp that merely allows them to advance their anti-american totalitarian vision. it is time to stand up. and this renewed engagement strategy comes with very real risk. >> ainsley: i hope we learn more about the substance of their talks like taiwan and the human rights issues. more on fentanyl. the origins of covid. the spy balloon. do you think when blinken comes home he is flying back. when he comes home we will hear the substance and we will hear what the strategy really was? >> i hope we will hear more than what we have heard thus far. our committee, the select committee on the ccp has invited

the administration for at least four months now to come testify. and if they sincerely believe that this revival of engagement strategy which has failed tore 20 years will be successful or they can tweak it in a way where it can succeed where it's failed in the past. then they should have that discussion with us in public, our committee has been very bipartisan thus far. we want to have a meaningful conversation about the past grand strategy vis-a-vis china over the lock term. thus far haven't taken that up on invitation. the risk here all of this engagement push means we don't do certain common sense things like preventing tiktok from becoming the dominant media platform in america. outlawing ccp land purchases near american military bases, stopping the funding of our own destruction by putting guardrails on outbound investment from america into china and as you mentioned full transparency into covid origins and the spy balloon. the american public deserves that they deserve more than what we have gotten thus far. >> will: in the time we have left, congressman, why is it either or.

why can't have you that defensive posture and put some of those things into place at the same time engaging. why has engagement in your estimation for 20 years been such a failure? >> because it's based on a naive assumption that somehow economic integration would change the nature of how the ccp operates, when filtered through the ideology of a marxist l loan nonisleninist regime. the risk is not talking per se. as i say it is shelving actions in order to talk. that's just what we have done. that's the pattern here, the history. china has lernd over the decades that americans are highly susceptible to making concessions in pursuit of diplomacy. ultimately any diplomacy needs to be backed by a credible military deterrent. that gives our diplomacy the best chance to succeed and that's where we are simply not moving fast enough. that surging hard power west of the international dateline into the indo-pacific so xi jinping understands he cannot take taiwan by force.

making sure prescription drug prices are down. i think those are issues that biden can be successful on that he can breakthrough the noise and actually get out there. on the republican side i'm concerned about so much enthusiasm around flawmp candidates who probably could breakthrough and could have a good message like tim scott are going to be left out there. so they are going to have to really be challenged with getting through and breaking through that noise and starting to get to voters so voters can see these are viable candidates have policies in mind but not all the baggage. >> i know you helped with campaign and city council. we have nikki haley from our great state. we have tim scott like you mentioned. what are the voters saying because i know that many south koreans like trump. do they still like him? >> yeah. president trump still has a lot of support here. of course, our governor has endorsed him.

but i do think that as you are going to start seeing more people out there. you are going to see people get excited about tim scott. last week he rolled out several local endorsements, prominent republican leaders. i think that is going to be good. i'm not sure exactly why nikki haley hasn't gotten more traction yet. but she is a brilliant woman so we will see what she does here. right now, if the election was today, president trump would certainly win south carolina. >> ainsley: okay. charlie, i wish i had gotten you one more question. i'm so sorry we are out of time. next time. i'm just fascinated because we have that n south carolina. i wanted to know what she thought about the voters. thank you both for coming on. >> good to see you. >> ainsley: good to see you too. >> thank you. >> ainsley: hand it over to carley for headlines. >> carley: good morning to you. we'll start with this. police in are searching for two gunmen in washington, d.c. killed a pregnant woman in broad daylight. they pulled up to her parked car

those your headlines. janice, over to you. >> janice: that looks scary. take a look at the maps. i want to talk about the fact that we have a severe weather threat to including tornadoes parts of mississippi and outside of the fort myers area we had a tornado warn storm. severe thunderstorm warnings in effect for central mississippi in towards alabama and florida panhandle and georgia. we could see some large hail, damaging winds, isolated tornadoes and heavy rainfall that could cause flash flooding. there is tornado watch until 8:00 a.m. local time parts of mississippi in towards alabama. severe storm threat extends from central texas towards the southeast down towards central florida. the rain is still to come. several inches here for parts of the southeast. five to eight inches, isolated amounts and this could cause flash flooding. the other big story is the extreme heat across texas and louisiana. this is heat indices, what it feels like when you head outside. very dangerous for folks in texas and louisiana.

historian and author of "in defense of capitalism" rainer zitelmann. how can we look back and say that is synonymous with american success. >> of course this is the story not only of success in the united states but all over the world. remember 200 years ago, before capitalism, 90% of the worldwide population lived in extreme poverty. 90%. today it's less than 9%. so i think he was right. economic growth is the best recipe especially to fight against poverty. >> brian: capitalists are getting a bad wrap. capitalism and smith's theory and morks americans' theory like me believe that's the most compassionate thing you can do to the poor give them an opportunity to be rich. that didn't exist before adam smith's wealth of nations, correct? >> absolutely. you know, you see every day also

today i'm very often -- poland. in the 1980s he was one of the poorest countries and then started with private property free market reforms and today early years we called poland europe's growth champion. smith is proved right time and time again even in countries that called themself socialists. a half year ago i was in vietnam and they call themselves socialists with the communist party and in the 1990s. first country, two african countries. today this entrepreneurial spirit they call themselves socialists but i tell you it's easier to find marxist university in the united states then to find in vietnam. what is the reason? private property, pro-democracy promise. this is what always worked in history. >> brian: adam smith wasn't for the rich. he had that normal discerning

eye towards the rich. he wanted to the lyft all boats. here is what he said. poverty according to smith wasn't preordained above all he didn't trust government. only economic growth can raise living standards, continuous economic growth is the only way to raise wages and stagnated economy leads to falling rages, are you worried, rainer we are getting away from that in an effort to lift all boats doing it the socialistic way? >> absolutely. many the new index of economic freedom published by the heritage foundation. this is ranking how free economic countries all over the world. for the united states it was the worst ranking since they started in 1995. today, even 06 european countries in this index are more economically free than the united states. this doesn't mean things are great in europe on the contrary. also in europe we go more and more in the direction of a bad

economy. and this is, you know what you see also in the united states with what your biden does with this green new deal. it's only another word for planned economy. they don't call it a planned economy. but, in reality, it is a planned economy. take this. it's very important to understand the difference between a free market economy and the planned economy is in a free market economy, entrepreneurs decide what to produce in the end it's consumers choice. in a planned economy, politicians and government officials decide what is -- what is. >> brian: seeing that now $600 million for environmental cause, $1 trillion here. next things you know americans can't get control of any of its money and lose that entrepreneurial spirit. you break it down brilliantly in your book and "wall street journal" editorial. thank you so much rainer. we appreciate it. back in a moment. ♪
