5,000 kids show up. 100 quietly put their toe in the water. we need the cops. >> dana: good idea. >> bill: we have 15 seconds. can you hang before we go? is that cool? we have a stealthy golden retriever. fenced into a neighbor's backyard and goes for a kick dip in the pool. owner tries to coax it out. the dog is having too much fun. video shows someone trying to pull the pup out but jumps back in. >> dana: it has been a hot summer. all right. the hot new show coming to you from harris. here she is. >> president biden expected to again celebrate his economic policies as he tries to sell voters on the success of his agenda. in just hours he will make remarks celebrating one year since the passage of his inflation reduction act. team biden is going all in on the economy for 2024 but with sky high prices and rock bottom

approval he may have his work cut out for him. this is "the faulkner focus", i'm dagen mcdowell in for harris. bidenomics is on the ballot. the president taking another victory lap yesterday in milwaukee. >> president biden: in case you haven't noticed inflation is down and going lower. one reason we've seen inflation fall by 2/3 without losing drops we're seeing corporate profits come down to earth. a stark contrast to the conservative maga view which is focused on corporate profit. >> republican lawmakers tore into the president's policies. >> even if inflation goes to 0 tomorrow, we're still going to be stuck with these higher prices, which are directly the result of president biden's economic policies.

and do the people around the white house get it? >> for those of us that live in real america, in middle america, bidenomics means excessive inflation, excessive costs at the gas pump, at the grocery store. >> americans also seem to have a pretty negative view on the current state of our economy. one recent poll shows half of americans think it is down and getting worse. jacque heinrich at the white house with more. >> good morning. on the one-year anniversary of the passing of this legislation that was supposed to turn the economy around, new polls are showing that the president still has a lot of work turning attitudes around about the economy. his approval rating is 37% on his handling of the economy and even lower to 30% for his handling of inflation. the president will give remarks later today on the one-year anniversary of the inflation reduction act passing and we'll watch to see if he reframes its purpose at all after he told a

group at a salt lake city campaign fundraiser last week quote, i wish i hadn't called it that. less to do with inflation as providing alternatives that generate economic growth. the press secretary was out on tv this morning trying to set the tone. >> we're talking about investing in america. we're talking about fairer tax code. talking about the biggest, largest climate action investment ever as we were just talking about what's going on in maui and extreme weather. these are all incredibly important things. >> democrats senator joe manchin who surprised his conference by engineering the inflation reduction act behind closed doors after the president's build back better plan fell apart pushed back on the notion that this bill was ever supposed to be a climate bill saying he is beginning what he called an unrelenting fight against the

administration's effort to implement the ira as a radical climate agenda. >> thank you so much. jackie deangelis joins me now the host of the "big money show" on the fox business network. great to see you. if we just look at what americans have faced under president biden in terms of inflation, this inflation reduction act to quote douglas, there is no plausible channel which by the inflation reduction act contributed to reduce inflation. consumer prices are up 16%, food is up, what, 20%, groceries? >> you can go around the country and stand on your head. just because you say something doesn't make it true. the american people feel the impact of what you are talking about. a lot of this has been really sticky. a lot of it hasn't been worked through the system. they say let's look at the core

inflation number. it steeps out food and gas, core inflation is 4.7%. we are not out of the woods yet. to counter the president's statement, the sound bite we just played, the reason that you are seeing inflation a little bit lower is because the job the fed has done hiking interest rates time and time again. the reason we haven't lost jobs in this economy is you still have some of these stimulus programs that haven't been reined in and people are still spending. when it comes together as the perfect storm being set up to be this economy will suffer. he can go celebrate this all he wants but this was a climate change bill. he finally acknowledged that. americans are paying the price and the rest of the world isn't doing anything about climate change. >> the people who benefit from this climate bill are rich people and rich companies or cronies, quite frankly. i will quote more from what was

written. it has accomplished nothing but to shovel hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars. the climate portion is $1.2 trillion, which is three times the original estimate. hundreds of billion else of taxpayer dollars to large corporations and affluent americans. nobody's healthcare is cheaper, nobody's environment is cleaner. >> i think americans feel it on every aspect of their lives and their budget. you are right. that's what will resonate at the ballot box. jacque heinrich had is stats how the president is polling with inflation and economy. he is not doing well. people see through this. what's the most interesting is he basically has sold our energy industry down the river to promote these policies that as you mentioned are benefiting certain companies and certain rich people, benefiting china as well making a lot of components for this stuff and not paying attention to what's happening here. to me it's about a larger agenda

which is basically we all learn from our parents as we are growing up, right? what i saw is my standard of living and my sort of normal, right? kids growing up today will think having cars are a luxury, and air thaning and washing machines that wash your clothes. they will resolve to a lower standard of living. think about what they're learning at school. these are the future leaders of america. they are chipping away at capitalism through acts like this and the rest of the poll seals we've seen. >> our fossil fuel industry is prosperity and power in our economy. gas prices are heading back up. they are up about $0.30 a gallon in the last month. $0.31 a gallon. because of that, we just heard president biden say inflation is going lower, which he is talking

about the inflation rate. the consumer price index is going back up to 3.6% annualized next month and food is going back up, jackie. it is getting worse. >> it is getting worse. you will see gas prices go up. at the end of the day opec plus wasn't making enough money when oil prices were slightly lower. when we were the world's top producer of energy, we had some control over these prices. we were putting more supply in the market. now you have given the power back to the folks overseas who need to make a certain amount of profit to do their business. it is not about our prosperity here regarding prices but also national security. every day that passes, we give up more and more power to everybody else instead of bringing it back home. i think when people start to think about these policies and the choices they want to make and who they want to see lead this country, these will come into their calculations. >> i will leave you with this. the journal writes this.

why are carbon emissions up? green subsidies aren't working. co2 emissions are growing faster than energy consumption. last year co2 emissions were up the 12% faster than energy consumption. basically, you take all of this money, these subsidies, about 1.-- over a trillion dollars like setting fire to borrowed money and causes working americans to suffer. >> what president biden isn't acknowledging. the technology isn't there to go green across the board. that's the problem. we're burning money. >> why europe is heading in the other direction and we're going down the tube. jackie deangelis, great to see you. a survivor of five kamikaze attacks, torpedo strikes during world war ii. nasa recovery vessel in the 60s

and present day icon of new york city tourism. the u.s.s. intrepid celebrating 80 years. it was first commissioned on august 16th, 1943. cb cotton is on site at the intrepid as they honor this anniversary. great to see you. >> hi, great to see you. what an important day to honor more than 180 brave service members who fought for our nations freedom aboard the u.s.s. intrepid are here today. a patriotic homecoming for the veterans. the oldest among them 99 years old. it was on this day 80 years ago when the intrepid was commissioned. the combat vessel with stood attacks during world war ii and serving in the colder war and vietnam war. decommissioned in 1974 and now a museum. some of the veterans attending today's celebration were phone operators, mechanics, engineers and emergency crew members on

board the ship. the first black aviator to fly from the ship is also here. he had only taken a plane ride once in his life before pilot training. more than 800 family members are expected to attend today. some have flown from as far as california to reflect and remember those here hope younger generations will be reminded of those who sacrificed for our country. >> freedom is not free. freedom is not free. every time i come aboard this ship, it is like a cemetery because we lost over 200 crew members. so it's solemn ground. there is so much history here. people don't realize how much history is aboard this ship. >> today is not only emotional, it is years in the making for some of these veterans who haven't returned to the ship in decades. more than 250 service members

paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving aboard the intrepid. >> cb cotton, thank you so much. just three weeks ago hunter biden's lawyers and now special counsel david weiss, agreed on that sweetheart plea deal and now that it has collapsed they're at odds over how to move forward. plus more claims of a two-tier justice system after president trump's fourth indictment, this time in georgia. leo terrell accuses democrats of abusing the system. >> you are using the legal system for political gain. and basically what they are doing is attacking an opposing candidate through the legal system. that's not how our legal system works. >> trump eva's 2024 rivals are split on what it means for the republican primary. former assistant district attorney phil holloway joins us next. veteran homeowners. have you looked at the interest

>> this fox news alert. special counsel david weiss and hunter biden's legal team butting heads over that failed sweetheart plea deal. hunter's team says the government went back on the agreement and part of it is still valid. weiss's team firing back saying, quote, the government did not renege on the previous plea agreement. the defendant chose to plead not guilty at the hearing on july 26th. probation declined to approve the proposed diversion agreement thus neither proposed agreement entered into effect. hunter's attorney on sunday said this. >> on july 26th, what was very clear is that the prosecution

presented the diversion agreement which they signed, which we signed, and as an agreement of which they have described it as being a stand alone, independent bilateral agreement with two signatures on it. that agreement is different than the plea. the plea did not go forward. the diversion agreement is already filed in court and it has the signatures necessary for it to be binding. >> the original deal had hunter biden pleading guilty to tax and gun charges in exchange for lighter punishment, two misdemeanors on the tax charges. bill holloway former assistant district attorney and legal advisor to georgia sheriff's department great to see you. this is my opinion and i'm just as an outsider looking in. this seems like performance art. and for show because david weiss, before he was named special counsel, as the attorney in delaware worked side-by-side

with hunter biden's attorneys to put this plea deal together. weiss was responsible for this plea agreement. it blew up. he spent five years on the hunter probe and all he had to show for it was this plea agreement that hunter biden essentially got off. and then the statute of limitations was running out over the five years. so now all of this stuff has been buried into this biden black hole of the special counsel. >> yeah, great to be with you. it is very difficult to know how much of this is just for show because what we really need is a true, independent counsel. somebody from outside the department of justice. it is beyond ridiculous that joe biden's attorney general appoints another federal prosecutor already working for the department of justice to

prosecute and investigate joe biden's son for things that may even include his own father's participation. in ever there was a need for a true independent counsel, this is the case. it's no wonder that hunter's lawyers are going to be fighting tooth and nail to keep that diversion agreement in effect if they can. they'll try to enforce it just like it were a contract, dagen. they will say we had an offer, acceptance, a meeting of the minds and therefore we get our sweetheart deal. but i don't agree. i think that weiss is correct here in his publicly stated opinion. i think this diversion agreement was contingent upon other things. the other things didn't fall into place, namely the judge signing off on it and approving it. they want it because this is what keeps hunter biden out of prison and out of jail for that gun charge. the statute of limitations is running on that. they will need to file something

new and perhaps even an indictment. i believe the statute of limitations runs on that in october. we really need an outside person who can bring all of the charges that are appropriate against hunter biden and time is running out. the statute of limitations is normally five years. potential crimes that he committed five years ago are falling off by the day in terms of being things that can be prosecuted. >> the major crimes, the information released by the republicans on the oversight committee, related to the $20 million payments. those dates of those payments, those have already fallen by the wayside and time barred as andy mccarthy has pointed out. and david weiss has said repeatedly that he was never prohibited from taking this case to other jurisdictions or bringing charges in other areas,

so why did he need the special counsel designation then? >> that's exactly the point. i think the whistleblowers are correct. i think that all of this culminated into such political drama and political pressure that the attorney general felt he had to come out now and formally designate him as special counsel. i think everything up to this point would be swept under the rug. but still, this is like the fox guarding the hen house. weiss is the one who slow walked this the whole time. what business does he have being appointed the special counsel now? we really needed somebody different but particularly someone from outside the department of justice who can come in and be truly independent. >> expecting a different result from the person who has done nothing but favors for hunter biden and the biden family at this point is the definition of

insanity. new reaction from republican 2024 candidates to president trump's fourth indictment in georgia. >> the reality is when you have a police state that overreaches as much as it has, then you get held accountable. >> more baggage that we'll have to deal with and it prevents republicans from talking about the problems of hunter biden and prevents us from talking about how joe biden administration is failing to deal with the chinese government. >> i feel the same way as i felt about the other three. another example of two-teared system of justice, uncredibly unfair. >> even a "washington post" columnist said the georgia indictment could be one too many. why stop at georgia? the federal indictment sets out conduct in six other states. will he be prosecuted in those states, too? at some point it becomes unfair, yes, even to trump to go state by state. that's why the federal approach is preferable. how do you see it, phil?

>> well, georgia's rico law is very broad. in this case, i think she stretched it too far. she cited some conduct outside the bounds of fulton county, georgia and cited some things elsewhere in georgia and things in other states. she is also alleging the acts in further of the conspiracy alleging some things that occurred in the oval office with a sitting president of the united states who is conversing and doing things with his legal advisors, his attorneys, and his political advisors. i don't think that our federal system of government ever contemplated a local prosecutor using some state racketeering law to be able to reach into the oval office and criminalize what is political speech and political conduct. we can't criminalize political speech because of the first amendment, among other things. we can't criminalize legal strategies that are

unsuccessful, either. lawyers present arguments in court every day that don't work. that's how courts work. so if we start charging people with a crime because they followed the advice of a lawyer and that lawyer's theory turns out to be incorrect, then we are on the worst slippery slope that you can imagine. it will lead to the -- all sorts of things potentially even the end of our nation as we know it because we can't criminalize all these things that are protected by the first amendment. that's why we have the first amendment. they literally are punishing donald trump for petitioning the government for redress of a grievance. when he makes phone calls to secretary of state in georgia and make a presentation to our state senate here in georgia. that's petitioning the government to address a disagreement. classic first amendment stuff. >> in the georgia case every half baked tweet from president

trump is presented as another rico act. that is the depth of crazy in that case. bill holloway, thank you so much. great to see you. >> great to be with you as always. >> a massive rescue operation in maui after the deadliest wildfires in a century ripped across that island. 106 people have died. hundreds still unaccounted for. >> it hurts. i don't even like thinking about it because it hurts so bad. >> very hard to see this. >> not just me lost everything. everybody. >> heartbreaking stories from maui residents including one woman whose family lost everything. she shared these videos of the destruction and recounts a terrifying story trying to reunite with her husband and

us covered. we are just in awe of the out pouring of love and we have clothes, we have necessities because of all the people who have just rallied together to help lahaina and it has been amazing to witness the aloha spirit is very much alive in hawaii. >> what would you like to see from the federal government? >> we need housing. we need long-term housing. the number one priority right now. we are all living day-to-day being told that when visitors come back that we'll have to leave these vacation homes we're in. we don't know where we'll go. that's the hardest thing for us right now. we just want to have a place where we can stay at least a couple weeks at a time. we need long-term housing. and the west side really could use some kind of schooling for our children so that they can see their friends, get together, have a tiny bit of normalcy.

fox news contributor and former utah congressman jason chaffetz. the two contenders, president trump in the lead are two men you served with in congress, correct me if i'm wrong, but ron desantis and tim scott. how do you see this? >> look, both of those gentlemen, governor desantis, senator scott, they are very good friends. i sat side-by-side with them for years. they are men of integrity. patriots, they love their country and they are conservative. they check all the boxes as somebody who spent years with them. but, you know, donald trump is still way out in front. make no mistake about it. but iowa is a different place. you have to get your fingernails dirty and get out meet and talk to people. go to all the counties. iowans expect to meet with you and talk to you and have a discussion. not just once but probably 2 or 3 times. that's the magic of the system. but i think iowans are starting

to see what i saw in those two people. if they get to know them and their policies i think they will continue to rise in the polls. >> vivek ramaswamy going viral after an exchange with an activist who confronted him on lgbtq issues. >> free adults should be free to dress and behave how they want but you don't become oppressive by fiftying foisting that on others. we can be civil and have this conversation. >> that is a conversation, not a debate. >> vivek ramaswamy is one of the best, if not the best out there in this kind of engagement. there is a reason why he is doing so well because he can articulate the message. he has lived it.

i did a podcast with him and spent a half hour talking through his story. it is impressive. he talks the talk and when you see him in action, responding to people's questions, that's why those types of videos go viral. he is able to make the argument and do so in a respectful way but actually win the argument. that's what margaret thatcher always taught. win the argument and then win the votes. that's what vivek ramaswamy is doing. >> that's what the makeup wearing chatter boxes, you and me, miss because we aren't on the ground every day. but we try to pick these up when we can. i want to move on to this. a catholic couple in massachusetts has filed a lawsuit earlier this month claiming they've been denied a foster child because of their religious beliefs. here is part of an interview with mike and kitty burke. >> we believe that the reason we were rejected is because we were

very vocal about the fact that we are practicing catholics. >> one of the things of our catholic faith we love one another as god has loved us. i would love that child no matter like my mother loved me whenever i did something wrong. >> the real issue at stake here is whether or not religious families should be allowed to foster and adopt here. massachusetts say all people are allowed to participate in society. >> bill mcgurn writes the massachusetts dcf noted that kitty and mike are devoutly roman catholic and not only attend church regularly but both also work for local churches as musicians. once upon a time that would be an endorsement. today it's an indictment. they were found unfit to be trusted with a child. lines up with the f.b.i. was doing coordinating with portland

and los angeles investigating catholics, right? >> this is a sad story. here you have a loving couple who wants to be foster parents. and evidently the reason they filed suit and i'm so glad they did. the only excuse that the state of massachusetts came up with is their religious beliefs. now, that is not a valid -- you're right. it should be an endorsement. these are loving people who want to love a child and help raise that child. what the state of massachusetts is saying no, we would much rather keep them under the ward of the state as opposed to being embedded with a loving family. a family that says if that child chooses to be an lgbtq person they will still love them. they will love them no matter what. and that is just sad. there is some foster child who is not in a family and they could be.

>> bog boggles the mind. speaking of insanity, president biden was in milwaukee yesterday to brag about his economy and repeated several debunked stories. >> president biden: my grandpa biden, who died very young, died in the hospital i was born in six days before i was there. i'm the first one to cut the federal debt by 1,000,000,000,700 billion. this guy, i won't mention his name. i would get him in trouble. one of the senior guys in amtrak who i rode with all the time comes up and goes joey baby, grabs my cheek. true story. i swear to god. >> some fact checking. according to an obituary his grandfather died more than a year before he was born. the national debt is up $5

trillion under biden. he confuses debt and deficit. and the whole deficit thing has been debunked because i digress. biden logged 1 million miles on air force two after that amtrak conductor died. jason. >> yeah, all of those were fictitious. the other thing he says for 36 years he was the poorest member of the united states congress. if that's true, dagen, why is it that he prior to being in office he lived in a 10,000 square foot mansion and how is it you live in two-man mansions being on a salary. you were the poorest member for 36 years and yet you live in two mansions? come on. >> they used to tell people they

were middle class. the house in wilmington that hunter was raised in had a ballroom in it. a ballroom. >> don't you have a ballroom? come on, we all have ballrooms. >> thank you, sir. thank you for watching "the faulkner focus." you can catch me 6:00 p.m. with sean duffy, the bottom line, monday through friday.
