[stomach growling] it's nothing... sounds like something. ♪when you have nausea, heartburn, indigestion♪ ♪upset stomach, diarrhea♪ pepto bismol coats and soothes for fast relief when you need it most. >> bryan: celebrating america on the campaign trail. what's more american than that. welcome to fox news live, i'm bryan llenas. >> gillian: great to be with you, bryan. i'm gillian turner. some gop candidates are in iowa and new hampshire. >> bryan: and griff jenkins reporting live from washington on the latest on the campaign

trail. griff. >> hey, happy 4th, bryan and gillian. voters in those states are getting a healthy dose of old glory, gop candidates for the parades. ron desantis marched today in a parade in wolfboro, new hampshire, and another one in merrimac, he'll be joined by tim scott, doug burgum. >> only in america could the son of a single mother rise from poverty to be a candidate of president. america is the land of opportunity, not oppression. >> fire that burned in independence hall, 56 men pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to establish a new nation conceived in liberty. >> meanwhile out in the hawkeye

state. mike pence taking part in urbandale, and francis suarez busy in cedar rapids, iowa, running a 5k race this morning and then making pancakes, noticeably absent from the trail today, former president and front-runner, donald trump, who leads in fox news latest polling among gop primary voters with 56%. desantis trailing by 34%, and single digits down there. we'll next see trump again on friday in council bluffs, iowa, holding another rally. >> bryan: 50,000 people in south carolina, a huge rally. griff jenkins live in washington. happy 4th. >> happy 4th. >> bryan: bill mcgurn, former speech reader for george w. bush, fox news contributor, thanks for being here.

>> happy 4th. >> bryan: the politico article headlined why democrats should primary biden and in this it says this, if biden can't vanquish a worthy democrat in primary season he has no business entering the general. nobody is owed another term because they are completing their first. you should have to fight for the right to lead your party and your country. making the argument it would be good for the party but good for the president. what do you make of that argument on both sides? >> i think it's half true. it's a dilemma that voters of both parties face. what's good for the party may not be good for the front-runner. i agree that for democrats it's important to see how president biden could handle himself when faced with the challenge that he should have to face robert kennedy and marianne williamson. they have about a quarter of the

vote in the polls so far, and it would be stronger for him if he could face them with confidence. the problem is obviously the worry that joe biden is not up to it. and the problem for the party is he may get away with it during the primaries, leader of the party, they can decide what to do, but they may pay dearly for it in the election in november. >> bryan: it could be a liability in the general, so many things in politics could be a liability. this is marianne williamson. what she had to say about it. >> i don't think it's good for democracy. i think it's important the electorate get a chance to weigh in. i look at the campaign season is a long job interview process and the voters should have a chance to interview all of the candidates for the job and that does include the president. >> bryan: isn't part of this,

they didn't want to put the president going up against respectfully robert kennedy, jr. and marianne williamson and maybe fear gavin newsom. does it matter who the president would primary against is my question to you. >> i'm not sure. i don't think rfk, jr. or marianne has the votes to win but there could be a lot of embarrassing gaffes and i think that's what they want to avoid. the problem is the longer they delay it, the longer they prevent, you know, a sitting politician like gavin newsom from getting in the race, if the president stumbles and has to pull out it's going to be kamala harris who is even less popular than he is. so, i think they have a real dilemma. as i say, what they are doing now, no primaries, may be good for president biden, but i don't

think it's good for his party. >> bryan: gavin newsom says he's not running but sure looks like it. touring red states in the west, his second time doing that. do you think he ends up getting in this race? >> i do, or think someone like him. i think he's waiting for an opportunity which will be some misstep by joe biden to get in. i mean, he's all but running a campaign, going around, challenging ron desantis to debates about blue versus red. so i think he's really in there. again, though, you have to declare to be taken seriously. and it's hard to blame joe biden when people won't declare against him. you know, you want to be president, you have to show some initiative, some take on the president. bernie sanders took on hillary when no one else would. and that's why everyone knows him in america today. >> bryan: and what do you make

of the former president donald trump, reports are does not want anything to do with the first debate and that that could potentially be part of the strategy, you know, why go out there, you are up 30 points. would it hurt him to not participate in a debate? >> i think it's the same dynamic with the democrats. what's good for the front-runner may not be good for the party. look, donald trump is denying the other candidates the chance he got in 2016 to go up against each other and let the people decide. right now it looks like a safe bet. he said he would be crazy to debate given his lead. but i don't think that's a good strategy long run. he may be punished for it. it depends how the debates go. we'll see what emerges. he may pay a price for sitting out. he may not. but then again the republicans may pay a price in the november

election for it. >> bryan: absence could be a big win for ron desantis, runner-up unthe polls, maybe not, we'll see. but bill mcgurn, thank you for spending your 4th with us. appreciate it. >> thank you, happy 4th. >> bryan: you too. >> gillian: republican congressman darrell issa joins us, and check in on america's travel troubles, the flightmare this july 4th stick with us. >> i got delayed from 1:00 to 3:00 and most likely another delay, happens all the time. you can only control what you can control. the airlines, they do the best they can but you know, as a customer you get frustrated. okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. together we provide nutrients to support immune, muscle, bone, and heart health. everyone: woo hoo! ensure with 25 vitamins and minerals. enter the $10,000 nourishing moments giveaway.

>> bryan: breaking right now, delays and cancellations piling up at airports as the tsa screens a record number of fliers and storms threaten to add to the travel headache. charles watson reporting live from heartsfield jackson international in atlanta. how are things looking this hour? >> yeah, hey, good afternoon, bryan. the delays and cancellations are gradually stacking up. good news for fliers, the volume of the delays and cancellations

are not nearly as much as what we were seeing over the last few days. we have spoken to operations managers here in atlanta and they tell us that things are running smoothly here and that des despite hiccups have been the case. aaa estimating more than 4.1 million holiday fliers and that seems to be in line with the massive tsa checkpoint numbers, agency well over 2.6 million screenings every day. friday, saturday and sunday. as for the airlines, they are trying to keep up with the demand after severe weather in the northeast led to a tidal wave of delays and cancellations that trickled into the holiday. the faa has laid the blame on weather. airlines say faa staffing shortages are to blame. fliers are left in the middle for some travel has been successful, others not so much. i have a flyer with me here,

taylor, we were talking before this hit and you were telling me that you flew from atlanta to chicago o'hare, and then back. how has your experience been thus far? >> so far it was fantastic. i flew out of atlanta friday afternoon, 20 minutes to get through tsa, 25 minutes at tsa in o'hare, so it was a lot smoother than i thought it was. >> a lot of people would say that's amazing, friday was supposed to be one of the busier days but made it out unscathed. >> i did. i thought it was going to take me an hour and a half, and only 20 minutes. >> did you prepare for big lines? >> i did. >> obviously worked out for you. >> it was great. >> how do you think the faa and the airlines are handling the increased demand. >> to the extent i'm qualified to speak about it, i did not have any issues, a slight delay out of atlanta, eight minutes,

because the prior flight was delayed. >> thank you, taylor. >> bryan, as you can see, some folks are having a good experience making their way through the airports, others not so much. it's up to who you talk to. >> yeah, absolutely. it's hopeful message there, that's good heading into the big day tomorrow when everyone is trying to travel. thank you. >> gillian: today marks two weeks exactly since president biden called china's president xi jinping a dictator. and janet yellen is heading to china for a high stakes trip this weekend. the second cabinet official to visit china in a month. >> and the hope is that secretary yellen can restore ties with china, at least on an economic level but she does as you mention have her work cut out for her.

just last month when secretary of state antony blinken spent two days in beijing, where he conducted some of the highest level talks with china over the past five years. but soon after president biden called president in china xi jinping a dictator at a campaign event, that's obviously not sitting well with china, and you add in the spy balloon shot down, things between the two countries are not great. however, yellen will focus on the economy, and critical they not only work together but grow together. >> both countries can benefit from healthy competition in the economic sphere. but healthy economic competition where both sides benefit is only sustainable if this competition is fair. >> yellen has said a full separation of the u.s. and china economies would be disastrous, adding a decoupling with not

just affect the two countries but negative ripples throughout the world. republicans like grover norquist saying yellen needs to send the same economic message abroad as they do at home. >> if she were to stay in china and give the chinese the advice that she's been giving us, that would undermine their capacity to compete with us. >> yellen starts her four-day trip in china starting on thursday. there aren't any real specifics about who she's going to be meeting with, we know she is not meeting with china's president. gillian. >> gillian: jeff paul in london, happy 4th by the way. >> happy 4th from across the bond. >> bryan: new data compiled by wells fargo shows americans burning through savings they built up during the covid-19 pandemic with inflation and other factors estimated to drastically reduce household spending by the end of this year, as one economist put it don't see a recession, it's last

call at the bar. smart people have already paid the tab and gone home. the remainder will wake up tomorrow with regrets. gene marks, certified public accountant and president of the marks group, the personal savings rate dropping to 4.6%, 33% at the height of the pandemic. you know, recession is here, or at least coming. what do you make of it? >> yeah, i agree with that economist, bryan, the economy itself is starting to show, a slow down in orders, inflation 4, 5%, interest rates are extremely high, mortgage rates are close to 7% in many areas as well, that's having a big impact on housing. so, yeah, we are seeing slowdowns. pay attention to the ceos of the big retailers out there. they have all been warning consumer spending is going to slow and we are seeing that. >> bryan: basically we have a situation here where americans

are racking up debt and does not seem they are stopping the spending. wells fargo had a note, a research note that warns deterioration of our household finances, and whether the pandemic related buffer runs dry by the end of this year or start of next, households will spend at elevated rates. come at the greater deterioration of household finances. if you are sitting at home listening to this, are we supposed to be spending less or are we supposed to like, you know, inflation is causing all the things to cost more. we have to live and we are in a tough situation. make it make sense. >> yeah, let's talk some cash management. there are things that all of us, you and me, can be doing to make sure that we are saving our money and making our dollar stretch further. don't forget that just because interest rates are high, that's bad for our mortgages, we can still get better interest income if we invest wisely. so we are advising our clients to put money into treasury

bills. treasury bills are returning 5 to 5.5%, that's over the rate of inflation, and if you can put money away certificates of deposit can, a good return as well to keep up with inflation so the income keeps coming. and treasury bills and certificates of deposits, you cannot spend it until it matures, but if you have excess cash, one way to take advantage of the higher interest rates by having more income come in. >> bryan: good advice, and generally speaking, i wanted to ask you about whether or not people, well, i wanted to ask you about the president, and biden, so-called -- before we get to that, talk to you about small business, the engine of the economy. i think that's more important here. people don't have enough savings in their bank accounts right now. how does that affect small businesses and what's the trickle down effect there? >> so, first of all, the answer is it depends, right. a lot of areas of the country are doing ok.

services businesses, for example, are doing fine, but the manufacturing businesses, a lot of my clients have been seeing down turns in orders. home sellers, you talk to anybody in the real estate industry with mortgage rates being what they are right now it's having an impact on demand for new houses and reverberating impact across small businesses. retail sales are holding their own and so have restaurant sales. what's super important, bryan, if you are running a small business, make sure you are conserving your cash and many economists, predicting a slowdown in demand and you have to navigate through that and certain things to do with the cash to make sure that you can protect yourself against a slowdown in demand. it has its impact across all small businesses. >> bryan: gene marks, thank you for being here. gillian. >> gillian: u.s. attorney investigating hunter biden has

sent a letter to house judiciary republicans defending his case and denying that he granted the president's son any special treatment. california congressman darrell issa serves on that committee. he'll give us an inside look coming up next. >> we were not allowed to ask questions about that. we were not allowed to ask about the big guy. we were not allowed to include certain names and document requests and search warrants. so we were precluded from following that line of questioning. providing for your family is a top priority. but what happens when you need affordable health care? christian health care ministries could save you up to 40% today. as a member, you can choose your provider without network restrictions. sign up at your convenience with our anytime enrollment. join a christian community that supports each other's medical expenses, offering peace of mind as you prioritize what's most important. enroll now at your chm dot org

>> gillian: if you are just joining us, an update into fox news from the u.s. secret service of reports of a suspicious powder found in a working area of the west wing at the white house on sunday. secret service now tells us "the d.c. fire department was called to evaluate and quickly determined the item to be

nonhazardous." and an investigation determining the cause and how it entered the white house is pending. and whistleblower gary shapley, david weiss claims he was given ultimate authority over the probe into the president's son. darrell issa will weigh in. first, justice correspondent david spunt has new details in this ongoing investigation. >> u.s. attorney in delaware david weiss doubling down, he stayed on the job during the biden administration to investigate hunter biden and avoid an appearance of a conflict of interest. house republicans want information from him in two days, on thursday, weiss wrote a letter he won't make the deadline. this all began with a different

letter earlier this month on june 7th, weiss wrote jim jordan, in part, i've been granted ultimate authority over this matter, including responsibility deciding where, when and whether to file charges. and jordan does not believe that weiss called the shots in this probe. he thinks it was the top leadership of the justice department in washington making the decisions. jordan believes it's based off of gary shapley, the irs whistleblower, he investigated the hunter biden tax probe since 2020, on the record numerous times and insists he saw weiss in a meeting complain he was not in charge of the probe and not able to charge hunter biden in other districts. but on friday weiss said the opposite, i am not at liberty to provide you the materials you seek, and i would be granted 515 authority and the district of columbia, the central district

of california or any other district where charges could be brought in this matter. i'm told its likely david weiss will have to testify at some point. weiss even made it clear he's happy to talk to congress but not much to say until the plea deal is finalized, and scheduled for a plea deal july 26th in delaware. >> gillian: thank you. california republican darrell issa serves on the house judiciary committee. happy 4th to you, sir. looks spectacularly beautiful where you are. >> well you know, it's the 4th of july and every american needs to celebrate in their own way. obviously for californians, how we choose to celebrate. we are also working today because as we speak the clock is counting down on to what is essentially a cover-up, pleading hunter biden to misdemeanors when in fact they are clear felonies that could have been

charged. >> so to pick up on that point, sir, the president was asked about the recent spat of whatsapp text messages from 2017 between hunter biden and a chinese business associate of his. take a listen how the president responded a couple days ago. >> president biden, how involved were you in your son's chinese shakedown text message? were you sitting there? were you involved? were you involved? >> i -- >> were you? >> no. >> gillian: what do you make of that response? >> well, if i asked him if he was involved in a shakedown, i'm sure he would say no to me, too. but the reality is, the white house had earlier said that there was no communication, now that there's been an evidence of communication between hunter biden and president biden what they now are saying is a little more nuanced of i wasn't

involved in his company, which is different than i didn't know about any of the details. clearly the president did have conversations with hunter biden about his company's activities. >> gillian: if those text messages are indeed verified, we are waiting to see what he has to say. and the nuts and bolts, also the optics, sir, the president's recent decisions to include hunter biden in weekend trips the past couple of weekends to camp david. trips that are footed by taxpayer dollars. do you feel like that's appropriate in the wake of his plea, you know, he pleaded guilty to carrying out federal tax crimes. >> well, this is one of the challenges for any father who has a son who is a criminal, who is a drug user repeatedly and

clearly did things that were illegal and is now pleading to a very minor amount. a father still loves a father. having said that, most fathers are not the president of the united states and you are right, there should be a legitimate distance when hunter biden has been involved in things that were wrong, including the foreign lobbying that he did all throughout his father's vice presidency. >> i have not seen or heard anyone, even the president's fierceest critics say he should disavow his son or tell him how to do his family relationships. the criticism is on how appropriate it is to be including his son in very high profile public events like the one attended at the white house, a state dinner honoring the prime minister of india just two days after he had pleaded

guilty, again, to federal tax crimes. foreign business dealings were underlying those crimes. >> well, you are exactly right and this has been a pattern, you might recall that vice president biden put hunter biden on to air force 2 and brought him back from china while hunter was there doing business dealings. as a matter of fact, hunter flew from mexico to china so that he could do those deals and get on air force 2. the appearance of impropriety is startling, and you know, joe biden has a long history of knowing what things look like and what you do or don't do. and so it's very clear that he's ignoring that appearance of impropriety and instead creating a situation in which hunter biden still looks like an insider with access to the president of the united states and that may be good for business but it's really bad for america. >> gillian: what is your committee hearing, sir, about

the next step in the investigation? why we going next? >> very important. what we are going to try to do is get to the truth. we have whistleblowers under oath telling us one thing. we have a u.s. attorney who has mixed statement that administration has mixed statements. we want to get to what is the absolute truth. we do believe our whistleblower, there is just too much accurate evidence that he's given to us. we would like to believe the u.s. attorney but he's pursing words in what he's saying. even saying he could have brought charges in these other districts. that doesn't change the fact that the investigation didn't follow the patterns to the felonies that could have been charged in the other districts. >> gillian: thank you for taking time with us on america's birthday. great chatting with you as always. hope you enjoy the rest of your day with family. >> happy 247 to every american.

thank you. >> gillian: in his home state of california, enjoying parades, fireworks, christina coleman is at santa monica beach. she'll head out into the crowds coming up next. hey, christina. >> hi, yeah. it is just a gorgeous day here in santa monica. love it. there's people enjoying the roller coasters and the beach and i actually have a couple here to interview, if you want to step on over. so, tell us, come on over, father and son duo, i love it. just tell us, how do you plan to spend the rest of the day here? i'll ask you first. >> enjoy it with family and friends, barbecue, swim, yeah. >> i love it. and you are from vegas, right? >> yes. >> so a little cooler than where you are coming from. >> a lot cooler, lovely weather. >> triple digit temps. and your first time here in santa monica on the 4th.

it's a big destination spot. i interviewed a lot of people from france. what does it feel like to be here with people from all over the world. >> feels exciting, my first time here, nice beaches. >> yeah, tell me, what does the 4th of july mean to you, you can stand closer to go. >> spending time with family, enjoying the holiday, the long weekend, yeah. >> i love that so much, the quality time, the father/son time. you are amazing. thank you for being so patient and i hope you guys have a wonderful 4th. thank you guys. thank you. all right. speakering of family time, a lot of people got just that today in washington, d.c. they gathered for the 21st annual capital hill community 4th of july parade. gathered to see the floats, bands and take part in the big celebration and then take a look at this also in d.c., the frederick douglass memorial

bridge was all lit up in red, white and blue for the 4th. so many cool ways to honor our country, and so many musical performances taking place from coast to coast. here in the los angeles area, a spectacular fireworks show lit up the night sky after families enjoyed the holiday bowl orchestra performance of what they call anthems of american youth, including the beach boys chart topping songs "surfin' u.s.a." and "i get around," and in west allis yesterday in wisconsin, a lot of people jamming out, and cute pets in the u.s.a. outfits. a lot of good family time. back out here live in santa monica. you know, it's just -- people are gathering here on the beach. it was cooler this morning but the sunshine, it is beaming down on that sand and the crowds are

generalized myasthenia gravis made my life a lot harder. but the picture started changing when i started on vyvgart. vyvgart is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis who are anti-achr antibody positive. in a clinical trial, vyvgart significantly improved most participants' ability to do daily activities when added to their current gmg treatment. most participants taking vyvgart also had less muscle weakness. and your vyvgart treatment schedule is designed just for you. in a clinical study, the most common side effects included urinary and respiratory tract infections, and headache.

interacting with other people. you don't have a community sometimes, and it has an impact on mental health. and then also in addition to that profound social isolation that some experience, we are seeing a lot of people just sedentary, they may only walk from their bed to their home office the entire day, and if they were patients in the hospital, say recovering from surgery, we would say you are so sedentary you are at high risk of blood clots and other medical problems, compression stockings or blood clot medicine to prevent blood clots and ophthalmology. a big problem of near-sightedness, people need glasses to see far, and children, it's up 50% during the pandemic. >> bryan: and the interesting point here, working from home,

you can indulge in bad habits. >> yeah, that's right. look, we have seen a rise in addiction, we have actually tragically seen an increase in suicide after lowering the suicide rates year after year leading into the pandemic. these are all the unexpected consequences of the sort of isolation that we saw with the pandemic precautions. but this study on near sightedness was interesting. jama and when you stare at a screen all day long it affects your health. a lot of concerns with not being mobile. number one predictor of longevity and health, it's muscle mass, and ability to stay active even late in life.

literally laid their life on the line for you to have your freedom, but i tell you what, if you go to other countries -- you know, our foundation does work across the world, in africa, where people don't have access to clean water and food and haiti where they are living in turmoil and disaster all around them. those folks understand how great america is and people all over the world are trying to get here and flock to this nation because it is the greatest place to live on earth. and for people not to respect that and you not have have pride in being here is shameful. it's a direct reflection of what happens when you remove god from schools, remove god from society, you start to have a godless nation. >> gillian: you are undoubtedly right, a huge element of spirituality at play here and also some very tangible real world factors at play such as the fact, you know, that people just lived through this devastating pandemic, people

were terrified for the last three years, we lived through a recession we are just starting to see the tail end of hopefully now. folks are going through a lot of hard stuff the last couple of years, but you would think that now being on sort of the recovery tail end of all of that, hopefully, people would maybe be feeling more hopeful but we are just knoll seeing that. >> that's true. and the bible teaches us when you go through trials and tribulations, that's when your faith must be stronger. you know, we are saved by the grace of god through our faith and so you've got to have faith and to overcome all of that. this nation did go through a lot, but the entire world went through a lot and people look at us all over the globe to be the overcomers, they look to us for hope. why do you think people are flooding our borders, why families are risking their lives to be able to raise their children here in this nation. we have to be real as well. we can't live in a bubble, live

in a box and think that the smaller the issues around us are the biggest thing in the world when there are so many people that would only dream about being here and being in this nation. and i think this is a time to reflect on that, reflect on the greatness of america, don't always look at all the negative things that have happened. there's been, you know, whether it's slavery, wars, they have been killings and mass murders all over the world throughout history. this country has overcome them all and will continue if we put god back on the throne. >> gillian: beautifully said. jack brewer, happy 4th to you and your whole family. thank you to all the work you do in support of america. >> thank you, god bless you. >> bryan: one of the biggest 4th of july fireworks shows in the country is in nashville. 40,000 pounds of explosives and some of the shells bigger than basketballs. will nunley from fox weather is live in nashville.

hey, will. >> yeah, we have several hundred thousand people converging on downtown nashville like this, multiple blocks of the city shut down just to accommodate the crowds. you can see how folks are passing through the metal detectors here. big old barricades for safety. concerts are ready, fireworks are ready, and the headliner is brad paisley. he's going to be joined by the nashville symphony orchestra. all the fireworks on the cumberland river will be set to the music from the national symphony orchestra. and we are sandwiched between storms that caused a lot of power outages in nashville and memphis, and we are trying to squeeze it in. looks like the concerts are good to go. the children's activities are happening. music on the live stage as well. hopefully we'll have the rain out of the way, not starting until at least midnight, something people here are looking forward to as we have thousands expected in person and

many watching on tv. rivalled only with nashville new year's eve celebrations. a lot of eyes on nashville. happy 4th. >> bryan: a lot of travel snaffus and whatnot, is it as packed or more than what they are used to? >> terms of hotel affordability, what i judge it by, hotel rooms are available. >> bryan: and you said it's brad paisley? i have to wrap. hour three of fox news live continues right after this.
