foot sandwich. >> follow us on the. >> we're sending this in to eat. >> steve: brings in a couple feet of that, would you? check it out master built.com. >> brian: we'll find out if they went shopping for that brisket and how much it cost because that will be indicative of the economy everyone is feeling. how is the economy? according to the president not something to run from something to run on kayleigh. >> kayleigh: something to run on, bidenomics, so interesting to marks he pitched this in south carolina, let's listen to what he had to say. >> my dad used to have an expression when we were going up, my word. he said joey a job's a lot more than about the paycheck. it's about your dignity. it's about respect. it's being able to look your kid in the eye and say honey it's going to be okay and mean it. that's bidenomics >> steve: so that's bidenomics. >> kayleigh: bidenomics is the new poll 72% saying they don't

feel financially secure, bank rate survey. good luck with this. it reminds me back when i was over at another network, the pundits days before the 2016 election said wages are up if only we can could get this out there about the obama economy. these are things you feel. people feel bad, you shouldn't have to convince them people should feel it in their paychecks. >> steve: you have just touched on the problem for the white house and that is they have some pretty good numbers going o the jobs number expected to come out later on today, it's expected to be about 250 -- 225,000. unemployment is expected to drop down to 3.6%. yesterday there was a blowout number, adp said that about a half a million jobs were added in june. the construction sector itself added 97,000 jobs in june. that's the biggest increase month over month in a decade. so they've got these pretty good numbers, but the white house is stuck with a couple of people who are having a problem selling

it, because people don't feel like things are very good. and so there you've got joe biden who's got a very busy day. he's jetting off to the beach house a little later on today after they solve that co-kay cocaine caper and people feel like the economy isn't going in the right direction and that is the peril for the president according to larry kudlow. >> joe biden's bidenomics is really a lot of biden baloney. i don't mean to be personally disrespectful, but the man's in capable of telling the truth about the poor state of the american economy. now, to quote my hero, president abe lincoln, quote, you can feel all people some of the time and some people all the time, but you can never fool all people all the time. he keeps making the case that we're in some kind of manufacturing boom but the numbers show we're in a

manufacturing recession. >> brian: right, because he has not worked on any trade deals that would help bring manufacturing back. talked about the usmca and how to best take advantage of it. very interesting poll by bank rate company and they asked people, how's the economy. only 28% of the americans said they feel completely financial secure and 72% said they do not feel financially secure. and one thing i find laughable is the administration keeps saying what barack obama kept saying. if the press would just tell the story. you don't understand what an oh proceeds i have -- what an opposition press is like, mr. president. you don't take any questions. you don't give them any interviews, you don't take any criticism. you don't go into any hostile environments and 70-80% of the stories are positive and the ones that are negative people just don't cover. they're having trouble now with the coke story because now it's in a different spot that makes it even less accessible to those

horrible tourists who might be leaving it in a can you bey hole, the story you want to portray. we willie see. the wall street journal said bidenomics was a negative. he wants to tell everybody it's a positive and he's not the strongest speaker and i don't think he ever was, but he's got all his people fanned out, of course, 20 states saying the same thing. ultimately the people will be the judge. >> kayleigh: best of luck with that. speaking of this politically, used to be it's the economy stupid but a warning to the republicans, it wasn't the economy in 2022. so republicans need to make this resonate. speaking of republicans, the first lady of florida casey desantis was in johnston florida she launched the national mamas for desantis, let's take a listen. >> we saw there was a constituency of folks who really wanted a voice and it wasn't just republicans it was independents but a lot of democrats, too, who didn't like the direction that the country was going. parents were peering into the classroom and they did not like what was being taught. they saw this sexualized

curriculum being thrust in front of five year olds. you saw what they were doing with women's sports, giving biological men the opportunity to take opportunities from women in athletics who have spent their entire life doing this. >> one thing when your policies come after us asthma mas, it's another thing when your policies come after children and that's can the claws come out. >> kayleigh: the left love to talk about these culture wars but another word of warning, this time to democrats, polling shows 77%, this is washington posts, do not believe sex should be taught in k-3 education all the way up to eighth grade the number. >> brian: strong initiative for republicans. >> kayleigh: absolutely. >> steve: and that's why it's been very effective for governor desantis down in florida and governor youngkin in the commonwealth of virginia. you just saw casey desantis, she's a great surrogate for the candidate, ron desantis. we showed you a little bit of the president trying to explain bidenomics, i still don't get my head around it. you know, and so who does he

have to rely on, he has these other surrogates who are going to go around trying to explain stuff the boss should be explaining, you have governor newsome, governor whitmer out in michigan as well. and in the meantime, the president has his vice-president, kamala harris, who threw out her public spector of appearances, has had a lot of confusing and convoluted answers to things. we're going to show you some of her word salads and the even if little bit of word salad is regarding an event she was at a couple days ago, i believe in washington, dc, the essence event and she was asked to define culture. and see if that's a good definition for you. here's our vice-president trying to explain all sorts of stuff. >> you need to get to go and need to be able to get where you need to go to get work and get home. >> significance of the passage of time, right? the significance of the passage

of time. so when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time. >> well, i think culture is, it is a reflection of our moment and our time, right? and, and, and present culture is the way we express how we're feeling about the moment. and we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment that is a reflection of joy, because, you know, it comes in the morning. [laughter] >> steve: and with a laugh. so she was asked to define culture and she gave take answer which sounds a lot like, to the average person, remember when you were in grade school and you were asked to give a book report about a book you didn't read? that's kind of what it sounded like. >> brian: she's lost all her confidence clearly. in six weeks ron desantis has 20 million, a stunning number for donald trump, he posted 35 million. coming up a little bit later, the one who's been working arguably the hardest on the

campaign trail and impressing a lot of people nikki haley is going to be with us at 7:40 and talking about signing the pledge. before you can get on the stage, even if you get your 40,000 threshold, you have to sign a pledge to support the eventual nominee if it's not you. it doesn't look like chris christie's signing it. doesn't look like donald trump is signing it, i don't think will herd is signing it. i don't think she'll have a problem signing it but will people stay off the stage. >> kayleigh: ronna mcdaniel was asked if people won't sign it is it going way she said absolutely not. >> steve: republicans have said if you want to be on the ballot, you have to go ahead and make this pledge. so ron desantis is going to have to make the pledge and so is donald trump. both florida residents who would like to win the florida primary. will they sign it? >> kayleigh: they're going to have to. >> steve: they're going to have to or they're not going to appear on the ballot.

i wonder how many other states. >> kayleigh: smart move. >> brian: chris christie says if i sign it doesn't matter because donald trump's not going to support the eventual nominee if it's not him. social media smack down twitter sends meta a cease and desist order over the new threads app, the escalating musk versus suck field. >> kayleigh: britney spears crying foul after she said a top nba guard slapped her. why that player is now on defense. ♪ i told myself i was ok with my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. with my psoriatic arthritis symptoms. but just ok isn't ok. and i was done settling. if you still have symptoms after a tnf blocker like humira or enbrel,

sacrificed for the greater good, the betterment of himself and his four children. as a matter of fact, 31-year-old nasrat ahmad yar's wife said she wanted him to call it a night but he decided to put in a few more hours driving lyft to help with bills. he was shot and killed late monday with a group possessing the opposite attributes. he escaped afghanistan in 2021. he worked alongside american armed forces almost two decades starting when he was just 10-year-old. the special forces veteran who served alongside amahd yar on two tours said he had the right to live safely. >> i don't have words for it. it's unfathomable how senseless this is for somebody who came here for the express opposite reasons. >> he was killed less than a mile from the u.s. capitol

>> kayleigh: horrible for sure. >> steve: yeah. just what you said brian, let's chew on that for a second. he was working as a driver in philadelphia but because it was so dangerous he moved to alexandria virginia because he was going to be safe. he wasn't safe. and his wife said, honey, come home, and he said we have four kids i'm sending money back to my family in afghanistan i have to work and he did and it ended like that. >> kayleigh: as carley said in the last hour america failed him twice, very sad. >> reporter: i was saying that talking about the story which is so tragic because we failed all afgan interpreters and siv holders and american citizens living in afghanistan the way the biden administration withdrew are the country and the crime crisis here in the us where he thought he was going to be safe. >> steve: the dream >> carley: it was his dream to come here we failed him because it ended his life at 31ed-year-old. >> brian: a goefl page >> carley: $60,000 raised his

there saying essentially you stole all my ideas and you stole our people. >> kayleigh: jack dorsey of course the former twitter founder, company founder, he said we wanted flying cars instead we got seven twitter clones. my big question for threads, and this is my first thread a retweet of a former employee of mine martin, he asked, is this a platform for free speech or is threads the last new platform to censor conservatives and suppress the truth. that's my question, because remember zuckerberg, he partnered with fauci. >> brian: kayleigh there's no question, the question's answered, when's the last time facebook opened their books and told us what they were up to in 2020 they haven't. when's the last time they told us what they were up to in 2016 they haven't. when's the last time suck bucks poured in key democratic districts and states to help joe biden win. what did elon musk do who's not a conservative. he opened up and said i want to tell you what's going on and one

thing i want to let you know is if i suppress you i'll know about it and i'm not looking to suppress free speech unless needed the. what why did zuckerberg feel the need to do this? because if you give mark zuckerberg and all the others a social media lat form we will never find out what they were up to despite what any judge rules. because what judge is going to know ahead of time if the fbi or the commerce department or the president of the united states or the democratic party, or the republican party, is diving in trying to put their hand on the scale to make sure you don't find bout the next vaccine, the next pandemic cure that's not a cure, or the next information or the next laptop that comes out, we know what happened thanks to the twitter files. i say if there's no twitter files, there's no threads. threads is there no neutralize twitter. and i don't care who you like, if you like the opportunity to have a free and fair election, you should be pulling for twitter. because threads is going to go ahead and throttle you again.

>> steve: well, and, brian, to your point, you're talking about social media. keep in mind, you know, the hunter laptop story and all those other stories, we have been covering since the get go here on the fox news channel, that's one of the reasons why we're the number won cable news channel in the world. >> brian: when you tried retweet the story in the new york post what happened? >> kayleigh: i was banned u i the president banned. >> kayleigh: yes and elon musk comes along and so sproefg it all he is an existential threat to the left's model to win an election which is bury anything bad about joe biden and promote anything false about donald trump. that's why they all joined threads the leftist. >> steve: you did too. >> kayleigh: i wasn't go to but i have to. >> steve: elon musk is not a conservative you're absolutely right because yesterday his tesla pledged to honor china's core socialist values. he's not a conservative.

he has said on twitter that he's a socialist. back in 2018 he said by the way i'm actually a socialist. not just the kind of that shifts resources from the most productive to the least productive pretending to do good while causing harm, true socialism seeks greatest good for all. >> brian: he as not demanding his users be socialist. we can find out. i am convinced if the fbi is calling up twitter telling them to take certain things down we'll find out about it and that's key. just let us see what's happening within reason, don't be violent, but let us see what's happening, i do not want other people shadow banning and banning anymore because they don't like people's points of view >> coming up straight ahead, fired for filming shoplifters. >> look at 'em, stealing. really, bro? you got to resort to this? economy's not that bad. >> brian: we talked to the grocery store clerk. and an army veteran let go for exposing those thievess.

what's the message from the parents as a whole. >> thank you. the message from the parents ace whole is do not put us in a position where we have to choose between sanctions -- being punished by the school or being indoctrinated with morality that we don't share and that violates our religion. >> shik what in curriculum you feels goes against your beliefs religion and morales that you want to make sure kids are not involved in? >> trying to change our kids' values, bringing them with more values that's sinful to our religion, completely against our theological principles. we just want taught the curriculum,' just not right. it's not right in the curriculum. >> brian: i'm looking at the crowd and watching this earlier in the week, that's a pretty diverse crowd. not just muslims or christians

or members of the jewish community. it's everybody. can you describe who's with you on this? >> yeah, we have christians, we have the orthodox jews, the christians. there were like many other -- there were even people not affiliated with religion because they thought it's not right, opt-out should be an option for parents, and we're just not being treated properly. because there's a small group of liberal in the board of education just want to do what they want to do against all of us, which is not right. >> brian: ismail, real quick, the families don't have an option of school choice, so they have to go here, but other people say, hey, you elect a school board, the school board represents you, this is what they ruled, deal with it. what do you say? >> well, that's true. i mean, and this is a great example of why people of faith and people of, you know, who

share a morale consensus have to get together and pay attention to who's getting elected to these school boards. i mean, these people were not elected by anything near a majority of what the community feels. so it's a real wake-up call. >> brian: you want you to hear what they said the montgomery county statement on opting out. maryland law allows them to opt out of family life and human sexuality but not other curriculum such as the english language arts curriculum. you feel better now? is that enough for you? >> no. no, i'm not. we want opt out of the curriculum to indoctrinate our children. we want our values. because what they're trying to do is erase our cultural and heritage. we're not going to accept it. it's very important for all the believers, especially those who -- the majority of people don't want that.

i don't understand, it's crazy, how they just want to force our kids to just go that way. that's not right. >> brian: yep. well, real quick, guys, is mail and shayek, real quick is this going to affect how you is mail. >> i think voting has to be done in a case-by-case basis but in this situation it would be suicidal for muslims to vote for a democrat unfortunately the way democrats line up on this iron. >> definitely. this is the first time i'm thinking about how voting's going to happen. definitely's going to affect in a big way. because, as we know, allah teaches us to obey him, obey the profit but also obey the authority among us, meaning to be a good citizen, and being a good citizen is to vote properly and har a law will we do that when he comes. >> brian: yeah. you know what, if you don't like

what the parents have to say give them school choice and then you can do what you want. thanks guys. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> brian: thank you ismail and shaykh thanks for your insight hopefully you're being heard. stay right here 2024 presidential candidate nikki haley will be live next hour, plus a shocking new study linking cancer to obesity, doctor warning adults and kids why we have to put our health above couldedled feelings.

>> kayleigh: a new study published in the american journal communications is now linking a higher risk of 18 cancers to being overweight or obese. researchers say the risk of developing cancer starts when people are young, between the ages of 18 and 40. fox news medical contributor dr. nicole saphier joins me now. dr. saphier, this is pretty troubling. >> it certainly is kayleigh and this grows to the growing body of evidence that shows that there's a direct correlation with people being overweight or obese and that with many health risks, especially cancer. this new study out of spain looked at nearly three million people over the course of nine years. it's different from other studies it didn't just look at a baseline rate and associate a risk factor for it. it looked at people over nine years and what it said was you have the usual culprits that we already know has a link between

weight and increased cancer risks colorectal and others, but wa they noted was people overweight beginning at 18 or became overweight earlier on and stayed overweight for longer had an even higher risk of those cancers plus a risk of other cancers which hasn't been linked to weight before such as certain lieu keep i can'ts, lymphomas, prostate and others. so it's very alarming kayleigh. >> kayleigh: dr. saphier i have a jean that puts me at higher risk for breast cancer i had a mastectomy to nullify that risk. i know this is anecdotal but she told me she has seen more young people come in with breast and ovarian cancer than ever before. i've been curious to why. could this be one of the reasons. >> certainly kayleigh we're seeing an increased risk of cancers in people under the age of 50 across the board, lung cancers, colorectal breast cancers and othersment we know

an excess fat issue has metabolic effects and inflammatory effects that link it to cancersment we have a population where about 72% of american adults are overweight, about 20% of our children are obese. this is a major problem and unfortunately you're seeing like the american medical association just last week or a couple weeks ago came out saying we shouldn't even talk about bmis to assess people being overweight or not because it's racist and it can be harmful to their body image. and, yes, in a time when you have a lot of mental illness we have to be certain we take care of those young girl's body image but being overweight is a big deal and is contributing to our rise in cancer incidents especially in younger people and we have to do something to stop it. >> kayleigh: ignore the science, the sighen is pretty clear as to what young people need to do. let's say you have a child who's overweight. the best thing you can do for them, encourage better diet, exercise. how do you combat this risk? >> certainly. now, kayleigh, for sure there are metabolic reasons that can

cause even children to be overweight, such as thyroid issues, other hormonal issues so you always want to be in communication with a doctor, but ultimately a good diet, physical activity are best for kids and adults, unfortunately, a lot of kids are leading a very sedentary life, they're on their electronics, covid certainly didn't help. it takes a group effort, the parents, the enifs, the educators, everyone working together to do what's best for that child. and the thing we should not be doing is coddling so much to make them believe being overweight or obese is normal or healthy. we have to get away from that and we have to institute that being overweight is not healthy. >> kayleigh: so off the ipad and off to the soccer field is what i'm here. >> absolutely. >> kayleigh: thank you dr. saphier >> the second hour of "fox& friends" starts right now. ♪ >> it's never been a good bet to bet against america. >> he can't fool the american people. >> biden out-red states south carolina to talk up his bogus
