back to you. >> steve: doesn't exactly inspire confidence, does it. >> no, not at all. >> steve: looking for more people. good luck on that. todd, thank you. coming up on 7:00 here in new york city. the second hour of "fox & friends" is gonna start right now. >> 8 republican presidential candidates will be taking the stage tomorrow night for the first primary debate. >> we need to send biden back to his basement and i'm the guy that can do it. >> six months ago many did not know who i was. >> i have never played for second. i'm not going to start now. >> people of hawaii -- >> -- president joe biden and first lady interrupting their vacation in lake tahoe to travel to the hardest hit area of maui. >> took him 8 days is outrageous. >> we dodged a weather bomb. >> southern california now dealing with the remnants of hurricane hilary. >> among the hardest hit area palm springs. water and debris and mud rushing through streets. >> 25 governors in 25 states are

banding together to secure a border. >> migrants pouring into the country through open flood gates. >> what we are literally witness something a war zone. >> i think people are just desperate for something positive again. >> rich men north of richmond already has more than 14 million streams. this song is a number one hit. bumping artist like jason aldean and even taylor swift down the itunes music charts. >> ainsley: we begin this hour with this. the president and the first lady are back on vacation now after a few hours down in maui. >> brian: right, during his visit, president biden tried to relate to wildfire victims by sharing a story mostly fictional about a 2004 kitchen fire he had. >> steve: peter doocy is live at the white house where the president is not and he joins us live. peter? >> and i have heard president biden tell this story a couple different times. usually when he is talking to the fire firefighters unions. the official account from about 20 years ago is of a small fire

that was contained to a kitchen and put out in about 20 minutes. but the president's version of this story last night included the term "losing a home." >> i don't want to compare difficulties but we have a little sense, jill and i, what it's like to lose a home and lightning struck at home on a little lake that's outside of our home -- not a lake, a big pond. make a long story short, i almost lost my wife, my 67 corvette. ha, and my cat. steve as the president talks firehouse, the former president trump is talking jailhouse. president trump posted on his social network platform, quote: i will be going to atlanta, georgia on thursday to be arrested by a radical left district attorney fani willis. this is in strict coordination with crooked joe biden's doj.

it's all about election interference. he could have gone at any time but that is the trump way of trying to reclaim a news cycle from the 8 republicans that actually planned to show up to the debate the night before. now the question around here becomes what will the tvs be turned to at president biden's lake tahoe rental. >> watch the republican debate on wednesday? >> i don't know. i sure hope not. [laughter] i hope not [inaudible] >> peter: if this doesn't watch this may be a debate free summer for the president because he and the dnc are saying they are not going to entertain any debates from primary challengers on the democratic side. back to you. >> steve: peter, hawaii is five or six hours ahead of where we are. the president for the most part has been on east coast time. can you explain why they essentially put the president out to make those statements

where now he is catching a lot of flacks in the middle of the night. is he way off his schedule? >> peter: cannot explain it. it's very unusual when he is on east coast time or when he is international they try keep him a little bit more to his schedule. but they could have gone earlier yesterday. they chose not to have him fly from the lake tahoe house until about noon eastern time. they could have gone earlier. they could have had it done, had him back at the rental house closer to bedtime. a normal bedtime. but, he was out for all intents and purposes working an overnight shift. >> steve: yeah. and now is he taking flack for some of the stuff he said was a little tone deaf. can you tell us a little bit about the rental house he is staying at? >> tom stiers house. they have debated each other last cycle when he was participating in debates. i want to say that it's worth $17 million right on the waterfront. they say they are paying fair market value for the house,

which would be tens of thousands of dollars for the week. but the local -- the county authorities have told some local reporters out there that they are actually investigating this rental because it was not -- it may not have been posted the right way for the neighborhood that they are at. >> steve: it's definitely not an airbnb? >> peter: it's not. >> ainsley: who paid the bill, hunter? >> peter: i think we learned in court that he is looking for a job right now. so it's probably the president paying for it. >> steve: all right. peter, on the north lawn. >> ainsley: thank you, peter. >> steve: i don't think i heard a lawn mower. >> ainsley: that's true. this is a change. thank you, peter. peter's report. who was that that was saying the woman's voice who said that she didn't think the president would be watching the debate she hopes not. >> steve: on the comms team. >> ainsley: if you are a democrat and running against one of these republicans and will be

running against one of these republicans would you watch the debate? of course you would. >> steve: of course. >> brian: probably tape it or dvr. surrogates including the dnc chair to be in milwaukee to have a counter message and talk about we already got a preview if you watched the sunday shows from governor waltz saying the back backiness and extreme behavior you are going to be witnessing on this stage is going to be off the charts and give people an understanding how valuable joe biden will be. that will be their message. the overall number one issue concerning most of you watching us right now if you take a look at the issues matter most according to fox business poll. economic issues matter most. yesterday in a poll on cbs they said 84% want the candidates, eight of them, on stage talking about the economy second immigration. >> ainsley: south carolina what's most important to you 51% more than half said economic issues. >> steve: and then also the most important issue facing the

country among registered voters is the economy, historically, it's always the bred and butter issues president trying to rebrand bidenomics as a good thing. >> brian: nice try. >> steve: remember the unemployment rate walls through the roof, the cost of gas, the supply chain stuff a year ago. inflation 9%. still north of the 2% targets that the fed is looking for yesterday i bought a dozen eggs. six bucks for a dozen eggs. it wasn't that long ago they were 99 cents for a dozen. yog up my mother was a coupon lady. big plus. school teacher. >> steve: still is. >> ainsley: paid for all the groceries in the house.

school teacher. x amount of dollars she could spend and when you can't afford it and you have to choose. >> steve: look at that right there. that box of cereal was $10. >> ainsley: that's crazy. >> steve: i don't know where that individual was from. 10 bucks for cheerios. >> brian: home energy, look at your price that you are paying. most likely doubled. and here's the other thing. gas is going up. and that is going to effect every single person. also, if you are first house. want to sell the current house. probably going to be harder and harder to do it because it's 7.8% insurance. why would you. >> ainsley: interest rate. >> brian: why would you sell a house when you are paying 3% on a mortgage when you will have to buy the new house and need to take out money your mortgage is going to be 7%. you see the ripple effect. of course jet fuel is more expensive. making flights for expensive. if you are making wind mills absolutely right. making solar panels and have a

contract with the chinese you are absolutely right. if you are a whale not love the windmill situation. we will talk about that differently kellyanne conway, this is what she said to bret last night. >> this is an opportunity to look in the camera and introduce yourself to america. if you are going to attract donald trump you will alienate his voters. if you attack him legal whoas, personality, policies? i want specifics on the economy. people in this country and the state are suffering. and they don't deserve soundbites. they deserve substance. what is your economic plan. your 5 or 10 point economic plan to get us out of this mess. in december of 2016 when trump came out with economic plan i think it helped him win. i would counsel these folks to do it now. transport growrself into a general election strategy where you put yourself against joe biden and you say i have got i'm a man or a lady with plan for energy independence fewer regulations and taxes. they are not trying to afford tesla and mercedes.

they are trying to afford bacon and eggs and tuition and nourish. those granular issues are on the podium on wednesday night in this debate. steve and she is absolutely right. given the bread and butter issues that impact all of us, there is a question the federal reserve has been asking for for a number of years. they do a survey and say okay. you have got a job right now. if you were going to switch jobs, how much is it going to cost the new employer? and the number is jaw dropping because now they say that the figure is sure, i will switch jobs for $78,646. that's up close to 10% year over year. the average full-time offer in the united states currently, so that's the job offer, sure, i will switch jobs for close 80,000. is 70,000 is how much people need to make now and you got figure these numbers are higher

because they are looking at the prices of everything. i know that if i switch jobs, i'm going to have extra expenses and so it's can going to cost you. but i will do a really good job. >> ainsley: i wonder what is the average salary? >> steve: 69,000. >> ainsley: that's the average. i will switch jobs for almost 80,000. >> brian: 9.8 million jobs open. just under 6 million people without a job. so you got to figure that there might be a better job out there for you if you look hard enough. and this might be a good opportunity for you. >> steve: well, the problem for all of us though is one of the drivers of inflation is wages. and so if wages are going up, inflation is going to go up. you know, for the most part, prices have stabilized in a lot of things. but not wages. and that's bad for inflation. and that means the federal reserve might just say, you know what? one more interest rate hike, boom. >> brian: that is why when you get the rescue package, when you get inflation reduction act.

when you get infrastructure, you put all that spending. in and it all flows into the system from money we don't have that devalues the dollars you do have. so that's the inflation. are we getting punished for the president's spending program? upping the interest rates which makes your credit cards harder to pay off and mortgages more difficult to get and makes you question whether you should go take one out. >> ainsley: don't you remember? i remember switching jobs. i did change jobs because they were paying me a lot more. >> steve: can you imagine had you made 78,000 back then? >> ainsley: i started out making in the 20's. >> steve: i made $4 an hour. i was on tv weekend weather man and i made $4 an hour. >> ainsley: gosh. >> brian: my first job i paid them to let me work. >> ainsley: i worked for free. >> brian: i gave away $100,000 in order to have a place to go. >> steve: what job was that? >> ainsley: that's called an internship. >> brian: now you have to pay for internship.

>> ainsley: depends. i worked around that the colleges want you to get credit for it so they don't have to pay you and you are protected by that prage. but, i did find tv station that needed help so badly because it was such a small little station, they said yeah, you can come intern here, we are not going to pay you. i did. then they offered you a job afterwards. >> steve: i love that part. we don't have insurance anymore. we have college associates. and they are all paid for their time. it's a great job. apply early because i know people are already applying next year. go foxnews.com. >> brian: carley you started on radio. >> carley: i started as intern d.c. bureau. best decision of my life. >> brian: here not on the air? >> carley: intern in 2008. chad pergram was so nice. he took me around to capitol hill. i remember when i met griff jenkins for the first time i was like enamored. and then on tv and so nice to me.

>> ainsley: do you know who the first person i met was in front of the elevator? steve doocy. and i said steve, i was here for my interview. i didn't know how to work our elevators because you push in what floor. >> carley: different here. >> ainsley: steve was here and oh my gosh i watch him every morning. >> carley: i remember the first time i met brian, don imus assistant at the time. >> ainsley: almost quit because you met brian? >> carley: no i met him by the elevator bank and spoke to me and said something nice. like a casual thing. i had the same feeling, he talked to me. >> brian: i'm like this poor person is going to have to deal with imus. i hope it doesn't crucial her but it didn't. >> carley: i have a special plates in my heart for imus. >> steve: a legend in broadcasting. >> brian: so many so. >> ainsley: i didn't mean you almost quit because you worked for him. but almost quit because you met brian. >> carley: new overnight more than 200 patients evacuated from a los angeles hospital after a partial blackout. this is a live look from the

scene. lights went out in one building at the white memorial hospital, forcing firefighters to carry patients to ambulances on ground level since elevators had stopped working. patients on ventilators were taken out first and then 30 others in critical were evacuateed. the cause of that outage still under investigation. my goodness. to a fox weather wildfire alert. this is a look at a wildfire burning in new jersey flames first reported on sunday evening are spreading in two counties. the fire is 75% contained. >> no injuries have been reported right now no homes are at risk but it is a big one in new program honors individuals with disabilities. racing for strides initiative. with the disability opportunity fund. aims to ensure disabled vets have everything they need to pursue their dreams after their

>> fentanyl the r. effecting oklahoma the like it is the rest of the states in the country. my 19-year-old. soldiers on the border can give you the answer. let's enforce the laws. it's that simple. there are ports of entry. all we are doing is keeping people from illegally entering our country. and we don't understand why this has turned political. i don't think the american people do either. >> brian: they don't qualify for refugee status. there is 150 young men in their primes, sitting there on randle island living on soccer fields. three meals a day. they get a menu. north side to pick out what they want to enjoy. and they sit there in tents while our kids have nothing to do in new york city. because every state is a border state. where people we're seeing you weren't seeing is they actually welded out parts of the wall in arizona. so people could come through because they are concerned about monsoon season and the antelope. are you kidding me?

>> i will tell you this, i wish every american could be on the border and see it, because in certain areas like i was in el paso and then the eagle pass area. we had a border wall there for that kind of sector. but then they made us go in, so governor abbott and our team had to go n front of that because the border patrol deems you part of the u.s. as soon as you cross the river. so we have had to create another barrier down at the river level because they are just releasing them and failing to prosecute once they actually get across the remember. now we are actually inside the border wall. instead of defending this area it. just makes no sense whatsoever. we need to get the politicians out of this and let the people on the ground solve this issue. it's super simple to do. >> brian: governor, we know. this there were gaps in the wall when president trump lost the election. we bought this wall, 450 miles. we already paid for it. they are selling it off piece by piece, pennies on the dollar right now without telling people

because in the senate. they are about to get to the house in the fall, they are going to pass something that says finish the wall. democrats are signing off on it. selling the wall so they can't finish it. governor ducey had to put big halts on the wall, storage containers on the wall. they were sued by biden. so they had to remove them but a promise to put something else there it's still wide open. i ask you in the big picture. what are they thinking? what is the ultimate goal? >> you know, that's a head scratcher we don't understand why they keep doubling down on this. the material is already there on the border. americans want secure border, i would like to rebehind people this has nothing to do with proper immigration. in oklahoma, we have a great hispanic poll labor relation and they have come here illegally and they are great contributors to our society i have great

friends. do you vent a brain if you don't think we should have a severe border. the amount of terrorist watch list that have crosses, the people we're creating this mass migration because they know they get released into the u.s. with all of our services. as soon as they get there. so, that's the problem. we need to go back to the remain in mexico policy that we had before president biden was in office. >> brian: mayorkas promised 20 months ago to fill in 11 gaps. he has not done it. they are now subpoenaing him to come in front of congress. for some reason is he happy being an embarrassment and allowing every country to come here. 150 countries have streamed through our border. we are all overtaxed and going to people who don't belong here. please tell me how that is not anti-american. do not bid on that wall. would you back me in saying that do not bid on these walls? >> absolutely. it's already there. let's not take advantage. let's just get that job finished.

you know, i'm glad you are reporting on it. americans need to know that we have got the resources there. we have got the material there think are just trying to quietly sell that instead of completing the job that needs to be done. >> brian: gov planet online auction. marketplace is doing it. i call on every american not to buy it for scrap. governor, thank you very much. glad you went to the border. >> thank you. >> brian: meanwhile a fox weather alert. it flooding in palm springs after hilary drenched california with a downpour. janice dean joins us with a live report. asa hutchinson one of eight candidates to make the debate stage tomorrow might in milwaukee. how does he plan to stand out? we will ask him. that's what he looks like. ♪ ♪
