biden's circle trying to dismiss the claims, but one tells cnn winning the election cannot be done when the guy is 80 years old and has a day job. you can have a strategy, not because you don't have a choice. rep reporter alexandria hoff has more. >> alexandria: enthusiasm toward a campaign, this cnn article points out reports have to be filed by tomorrow. -- barack obama brought in while campaigning. noted, i am not sure which is harder, getting people to focus on the campaign or getting people excited about it. the author weighed in here. >> the latest version is this thinking among democrats, there is not enough going on, fundraising is not where it

needs to be. trump is maybe coming back, so much is on the line here. and it is even fed this conspiracy thinking maybe his heart is not really in it, that is what is going on, he's going to drop out. even led to alternative candidates, get ready, i'm telling you he's not going to run. >> alexandria: no way to know what the president will ultimately decide. on the gop side, trump's closest competitor, ron desantis, may be making over his brand. there are some ad choices that some feel missed the mark. the florida governor's team is looking for a media reset while fretting over trajectory of the campaign, sources tell abc news. it was reported hedge fund ken griffin who planned to back

desantis, paused support, growing frustrated by lack of growth. the daily mail says ken is not pausing anything, he continues to support the field. desantis pulled in $20 million in the first six weeks of the campaign, but that support has to remain consistent. >> todd: democrats scared for two reasons, financial problems, if you have a candidate, president joe biden who is not doing fundraising, he is not campaigning. that is a problem temperature is failure to take advantage of republicans beating themselves up in the primary. that is the incumbent advantage, the advantage joe biden has that he is not taking advantage of. let's be brutally honest, would not be having this conversation if democrats had enthusiasm for joe biden, they clearly do not. >> carley: president biden will

get compared to former president obama and how much money he raised in the opening months of his campaign, which was $86 million. bidenville to disclose that amount and file it over the weekend. first fundraising numbers are about to come in. among democrats, is joe biden actually running in 2024? this cnn article is eye-opening and points out several notable things. one issue the headquarters in wilmington is supposed to be open, was supposed to be open in mid-july. there are no staff in battleground states and names and potential hires have started to be collected by president biden and top advisors. things are moving at a snail's pace, some are saying they may be slow walking for a reason. >> todd: to desantis, it is about the money. desantis was thinking he was

going great and he hit messaging roadblocks. if those roadblocks transfer to money, you get the money, messaging and he is behind donald trump by massive numbers in most key states and that could be a problem. i don't know what the pivot is. presumably, he's used the good stuff now, shown his hand at the starts, i don't know what the pivot will be. he's gone after trump, gone after woke, what is his pivot? >> carley: they will try to shake things up and hopefully increase polling support. he's got a lot of fundraising, they will try to make that margin smaller between him and donald trump. going back to president biden and donald trump. one big question, will biden be able to campaign like donald trump or ron desantis on the campaign trail? he's 80 years old, does he have the energy for it? it is not 2020 anymore, you

can't campaign in the basement and you can't send kamala harris in his place, she has lower support numbers. there has to be another option. one quote that stood out in the article, some frustrated democratic operatives compare biden to a house guest who has overstayed his welcome. not something the white house will want to hear at all today. not just a cnn article, here is tulsi gabbard, a well. >> i could no longer associate myself with them, they have created this position for themselves, where voters are looking elsewhere. i got to say, you mentioned no labels in joe manchin and democrats are terrified of this. it is laughable and arrogant they are saying, how dare he be a spoiler. they are so entitled, they take

voters for granted. they think they can call anyone that stands up against them as a spoiler temperature is crazy. voters want options and want the best candidate they believe can do the job. >> carley: there are other options, robert f. kennedy is running and will be on "fox and friends" 8:30 eastern time. >> todd: a lot of questions remain here, who brought cocaine into the white house? secret service is ending their investigation. nancy mace will react to this. >> carley: and capturing attention of the fed, wait until you hear the impact it is having on the economy, that is next. ♪

biden family or the president himself, we never seem to be able to get answers and oftentimes, the white house lies in the process, like lying about which family members were there or not there over the weekend. it is frustrating we can never get a conclusion, anyone responsible or accountable for anything happening at the white house these days. >> todd: and the american people think to themselves, the two-tiered system of justice and accountability strikes again. that is frustrating to republicans and democrats in the heartland, on the coast, anywhere in our great country. u.s. attorney david weiss preparing to meet with the house oversight committee about alleged interference in the hunter biden case. this is what we have been waiting for, at the same time whistleblowers will meet with oversight, which you are on. weiss versus whistleblowers, opportunity under oath to figure out who is telling the truth and whether or not david weiss had

corruption or money laundering or racketeering or money fraud with the biden family, there seems to be a cover-up by some federal agencies and guess what, the american people don't trust the government. they don't trust congress. i hope they will trust the evidence in the hearings. >> carley: the hearing is happening july 19th, we'll watch for that. big news yesterday, merrick garland gave green light for david weiss to testify on his hunter biden investigation. the doj released a memo saying weiss says he welcomes the opportunity to meet with the committee at an appropriate time consistent with the law and department policy. the department affirms that commitment and legislative affairs will reach out tomorrow to discuss appropriate timeline and scope of such appearance. what do you think this timeline will look like? >> i sure hope they are not stonewalling again because they are stonewalling the american

school and expect no other developmental disabilities or consequences. sad thing, poor and minority populations bore the brunt of this. after the covid pandemic, up to almost 8.5%, meaning almost 1-10 kids suffer from developmental disability. it is not an epidemic in terms of xenotype and phenotype, this is socially induced phenomena. >> carley: for children with dyslexia and adhd that might have condition because of masking or school being shut down, is there any way to help these children? >> dr. makary: we have a bigger duty to go rescue kids, they have been hurt and need extra help right now. biggest concern is the lag in

time it took for us to get this data, consistent with any outcome cdc do not want you to see. for example, suicide numbers were up after decades of declines. it took almost two years for the data to come forth. it was there, just took a long time to release it. >> carley: slow walking the data. what about ausism and cerebral palsy? i don't see a connection there? >> dr. makary: i don't see a connection there. i think more kids are coming for evaluation and seeing a psychologist or therapist and getting diagnosed. other conditions were consistent with learning loss and kids being shut out of school. >> carley: fda just approved first daily birth control pill, you can get at the grocery store

you mentioned the solutions, what are they? >> they have to come in and clean up the encampment. they claim in order to do that, they have to have known housing first. the problem has been going on and housing should have been resolved long ago. >> todd: i can't imagine, this is somewhat of a retirement community. i cannot imagine thinking i've done it, made hard works, i will relax and having to face this on a day in and day out basis. describe what it is like having to worry about the site you see and gunshots. >> yeah, right now, it is a daily occurrence. we've had homeless encampments across the street for years, but nothing like this. they are destroying the land, using a bobcat, building structures on the property.

they installed a swimming pool that has toys in it. we're a large senior housing community with approximately 600 people who live here and are afraid to go out at night. daytime sometimes is not much better. we never had issues with guns before. constant issue. yes. >> todd: it is clear, if you don't stop in early to stop situations like encampments, they are just going to grow, as these individuals become more embolden to do what they are doing. in other words, installing a swimming pool, where did they get the water for the swimming pool? >> one of the mobile homes, as we'll call it, behind the swimming pool, is blocking a fire hydrant, which they have broken into and use that to facilitate the filling of the

pool. >> todd: a crime upon a crime upon a crime. >> having to fill large containers and drag to the pool and fill it, they manage to do it. >> todd: unreal, we reached out to washington department of transportation to find out why this is happening. they said the following, our teams are working next step to determine what to do with the site. -- you eluded to this saying they will not act unless they find places for the individuals. your response to that statement and that argument. >> that is the one most frustrating. this is a societal problem that has gone on for a number of years, not as if all of these people have just popped up on this piece of property and they don't know what to do. you have known what to do for years because you have been doing it for years at other

encampments in the city and all over the country, to be truthful. this is outrageous. seniors are a protected group of people and we don't feel we've been protected. we feel unsafe? our home, we've lived life and paid our taxes and should be able to relax and enjoy our environment and our homes. >> todd: i hope this improves for you. quickly, five seconds, are you going to stay or are you going to leave? >> i am going to stay, i believe we are going to resolve the issue. we just need the people whose job it is to clear this encampment to actually do their job. >> todd: diane, good luck, thank you for your time. things get heated when john kerry is pressed about his private jet. >> i hope it wasn't too problematic for your private jet

joet in personal or official capacity since have taken this position? >> possibly once. >> carley: records show at least 48 trips since president biden took office, emitting carbon. you heard cory mills confronting kerry, he joins us now along with a former coal miner. >> carley: it is relatable to have a wife that owns a private jet. he says he has only flown private once. are you buying that? >> of course not. john kerry has a problem with integrity. he tries to talk about how stupid it is i would mention his private jet even though he is the environmental czar and telling everyone you should have a carbon free footprint. if you can afford it and that is

the lifestyle you have because you worked hard and built your own dynasty, fine, i have no issues whatsoever. the problem with democrats, there is always good for thee, not for me mentality. they are saying, they want the average american to live in an ev world of unreliables, not renewable, unreliables and they want to go ahead and gallivant the world in their private jet, go get their hair, like nancy pelosi did, get her hair done while they lock everyone else down and basically live the high life and try to marginalize the average american. i will not stand for that. my job is to fight for the american worker and to fight for energy here in america and make sure our economic strength continues, not to try to allow the elitist and two-tiered justice politician to say we should live a certain way when they don't live that way. >> carley: i remember when he

took a private jet to get an award in iceland for his work on climate change. when asked about it, he said, it is the only way someone like me can fly around to fight climate change, it is the only realistic option for someone like me. it is really the hypocrisy of it all. he wants others to change their lives, but he can live in the lap of luxury. yesterday he said he wants the u.s. to get away from coal, it is the dirtiest fuel in the world. what is your reaction? >> good morning, carley. thank you for having me on. >> carley: congressman, one second, we want bo's reaction to this. >> it goes back to just like he said, it is hypocrisy. do as i say, not as i do kind of thing. when you look at president trump

was one reason we wanted to leave the paris accord, we can police these matters ourselves, we don't need the rest of the world telling us how to do cleaner energy. we have things at home. one sound clip i looked up on his testimony yesterday, he said there are over eight million deaths per year based on pollution. when i looked at the united states, top 10 from our death rate in 2021, nowhere in the top 10 could that be confused as anything related to pollution. i guess he is asking us to do different things here toic tacare of the rest of the world when the rest of the world does not fall in line. >> carley: you asked john kerry about solar panels yesterday and where they come from, how did that conversation go? >> john kerry himself in 2021 made a comment talking about

solar panels, he recommend to be precured were built by uighurs slave labor. i was pointing out climate hypocrisy and calling climate change, these are not american-made goods, not made by the american people. these are not made in an attempt to make sure we are economically solvent. we continue to send money and jobs abroad. bo is correct, coal is reliable energy source for america. we saw what happened with germany, they got rid of coal and nuclear energy capabilities and became reliant on russia and now they don't have the ability to fuel their own home without international support. we have the ability through

coal, oil and gas, lng, to be energy dominant and that is what we are trying to go for. >> carley: find alternative to fossil fuel first and then talk about ending the use, you have those backwards. thank you for joining us. todd, to you, what is going on? >> todd: swift vote to miss taylor swift. the fed crediting her tour for stimulating the city's economy. despite slowing recovery in tourism in the region, may was the strongest month for hotel revenue since the onset of the pandemic due to influx of guests for taylor swift in the city. the nationwide tour could generate 4.6 billion in consumer spending. that is larger than the gdp of

20209. if he wins re-election in office until 2029. >> carley: thwere times where he had difficulty hearing reporters. >> i'm sorry? i didn't hear the last part of your question. >> you have repeatedly talked about familyization becoming nateization of finland. now,. >> what -- i said it's more likely natoization of finland. that's the context in which that was said. and what was the second part of your question? >> the white house spoke to fox news and blamed the, quote, large echoey room where the briefing took place. could be true, could be false. what do you think? >> i think there are plenty of rooms at the white house where the president also has trouble understanding questions and hearing questions and no echo there, right? so i think these people think that we are stupid by saying that was echoey room. we all listened to that soundbite. could you understand that reporter? >> todd: yes.
