to convince vincent gop voters who may not like it from the "new york times" it says if the majority or a strong plurality of republican primary voters believe the lie the 2020 election was stolen, how can the man who certified it secure their support question at midlantic they asked this question why does he think the people who wanted to kill him will vote for him? why take on this fight when the numbers show almost no scenario in which you can grab this nomination? quick shannon i am running for president because i this country is in a lot of trouble. think joe biden has weakened america at home and abroad appeared bite and i'll mix has been a disaster for american families. that withdrawal from afghanistan has a bold and enemies of freedom around the world. i simply and the i say with humility, i am simply the most experienced, tested and proven conservative running for the republican nomination today. but with regard to the polling

it's not what i'm seeing on the ground he spent the better part of last week in iowa, i'll be back in new hampshire tomorrow. the encouragement we are getting on the ground frankly our canvassers in iowa had me running pretty consistently second in that state. they tell us there's plenty of time between now and the iowa caucuses and when the primaries get underway. we are just going to continue to take our message. my lifetime in the conservative movement in the fresh vision for the publican party and america brick except assure that on the debate stage the top of the person sharply got a fundraising pump according to politico. where did that guy come from? so how did you and when did you decide that version of bike pence versus eight nice guy thing you are tagged with that version is going to show up at

that debate? >> look, one of my conclusions after leaving washington two years ago and moving back to indiana was i am a well-known but i'm not known well. most people know me as the loyal vice president along president trump trinket administration whose record i'm incredibly proud of. i stood by him through thick and didn't until my oath to the constitution required me too do otherwise. people who know me well know i have been a governor but i was a leading house conservative for 12 years. and quite frankly people who know me well i know how to make a point supra know how you argue and to stand for the conservative agenda. i really do think we have an important debate happening in our party today. whether we are going to stand on that time honored conservative agenda of a strong national

defense fiscal responsibility the right to life and traditional values. i whether we are going to follow these siren song of populism and move away many of the same principles to an agenda on mordant to conservative values that is a debate we are a part of i'm going to continue to be a part of it. but the version of me that you saw on that debate stage that is just me that's who i have always been i know how to fight for what i believe in. >> it was combative at times especially with tread water that's continued beyond the debate stage in the days following that. one of the areas you clearly have disagreements as foreign-policy let's start with israel. he said friday on his watch the u.s. would fully back israel militarily and added this. >> i've also set i do not want our sons and daughters, u.s. troops who die in that conflict. they're going to distort that bassem not going to stand for israel and happy to have the

debate were nikki haley or mike pence or chris christie can state how many u.s. soldiers they would like to see die in that complex question work i will wait i've asked that question have not gotten a response by. >> mr. vice president you have e loved ones in uniform so how do you respond to that comment? >> i do, thank you for mentioning our family but my son is a fighter pilot in the marine corps my son-in-law is a fighter pilot in the navy. i do not have a problem with vivek ramaswamy i've met them a couple years ago he's a good man a good family member is just wrong on foreign-policy. the way he wants to let putin keep what he has grabbed in ukraine and make promises that ukraine will never be a native of the way he's willing to walk away from taiwan after 2028 and let china grab it. i must tell you this last week when he said he would not use military force to defend israel and an attack by iran, that is deeply troubling to all of us to understand that israel is not an

important ally in the united states, israel is our most cherished ally is the only democracy in that region and we have got to send a clear message to tehran on that any move against israel will be met with a full force and full partnership of the american military rate that is how we keep israel safe for that is how we secure peace in the region. we sent that decisive message during four years in the trump/pence administration it was a pathway toward achieving the abraham accord the first two peace agreements in the region in 25 years. peace comes through strength not ambiguous messages of i'm president of the united states at the world knows nothing else the world will know this, america stands of israel. >> to be clear he did say friday at the u.s. on his watch would fully back that would military fully back israel then he asks how us u.s. soldiers should be willing to see die in a conflict there, would there ever be a role for u.s. troops in the

middle east conflict? >> candidly this is a bit of the pattern for vivek ramaswamy he goes one direction then goes back another direction but i do not know how it fully back and then say there is a limit to what our military involvement would be defending israel in an attack by iran. but look, the one thing i bring to this race is i have been the same consistent conservative throughout my career and my years in the congress i've stood for a strong national defense. the american leadership in the world. my years as a governor, i stood strong. and as vice president of the united states and proud of our record pr put a referendum at historic investments in our military in the days ahead will be availing even another plan that will start to lay out a vision for not rebuilding our military brother joe biden has been pushing budget cuts for our military since day one. we need to build a military to fit into the challenges of the

21st century. through renewed strength. the gop here in washington. its continued funding hotel for billing to be committed. they're trying to domestic aid will talk about that this criticism that is broken apart. in the meantime gop house member wrote in the hill and opinion me sees that he sent armed services as well he said basically is not going to support any more money going to ukraine fed a few things. he needs a clear direction from the white house. what are the policies? where is this money going? what are they measuring sticks? he goes on to say we cannot afford to continue down this path. mounting expenses rising inflation estimating will process a responsible approach. birdie draw the line? but whatever objectives are in ukraine no more u.s. textiles or

depletion of our military weapons event signals a dangerous level. especially should be drawn into a conflict involving china and taiwan. >> on children's congressmen that i think president joe biden has sent done a terrible job explaining what our national interest is in ukraine. there is a lot of these gauzy speeches he's giving about defending democracy. i believe we need to continue to provide the training military the resources they need to repel the russian invasion because i have no doubt that if vladimir putin over runs ukraine he's would cross the border of a nato country where we will be required under article five to send our troops. let me also say i want to strongly agree with him that this economy is struggling. and i've got another guess coming on with the bite administration trying to make a case that it's working. but nobody isn't buying it. i was in iowa this week and i told people inflation is at a 40

year high mortgage rates are at a 22 year hybrid two out of three americans are living paycheck to paycheck. bidenomics has been a failure for american families. i really believe the time is come for us to offer a vision for renewing this economy, tackling inflation it does not mean we have to give up with our role of leader of the free world. has a said back in the debate anyone he says we cannot be the leader of the free world and get this economy moving and secure our border and deal with all of the issues the american people dealing with, anyone who thanks we can't do both of those things it's got a pretty small view of the greatest nation on earth. we can do both with the right republican leadership in the white house. shannon: what is the measuring stick for our obligations ukraine begins and ends? >> joe biden said in his state of the union address we are there as long as it takes. shannon, i am going to tell you it should not take that long.

we are the arsenal of democracy and frankly the bite administration has been providing support to the ukrainian military in dribs and drabs they just recently approved the transfer of f-16s they promised tanks at back in january. they are still not there. i really do believe what we need is to provide the resources, the equipment, the missile, the aircraft that ukraine needs to repel that russian invasion in a much more a r rapid pace in thee administration has done. i am going to continue to champion that but we are the leader of the free world. if america is not leading the free world it's not being led on today joe biden has left a vacuum on the world stage. china and russia are working every day to fill. >> many more topics to get to we hope you will come back mr. vice president, thank you for joining us this sunday. >> is sure will thank you

shannon: nation celebrates the american worker tomorrow on labor day. while the new jobs numbers for august offer good news, most americans are unhappy have persistent inflation is getting into t their waltz with all key

economic concerns joining us now to discuss shirt bernstein sure the white house council of economic advisers welcome back a fox to send a pic it's always a pleasure to be here with you. >> we always are the polls which right now you guys know are not good for you. the perception of bidenomics the majority of the people tell us to think us make our lives worse use a stick around you gotta wait for the benefits to come. "new york times" quotes jason who once held the job you now hold he says this it's difficult for the bite administration to take victory laps over slowing inflation because wages have not kept pace leaving a typical worker about 2000 behind compared to for the pandemic the truth is you are worse off than before you guys took over precooked snow, no, no that's not the truth of exes jason wrong about that? what some explain to my good friend h is a fine economist sa, jason is doing there. real wages are up. that's the first thing to be clear about. real wages are higher than they were for the pandemic. the for middle and low-wage workers.

shannon: for many months they were outpaced by inflation bricks wreck the last three or four months inflation -- wages are rising faster there's good news and buying power for working americans. by the way we got to tell mike pence june 2 22 once a talking point back that it's he talked about inflation at a 40 year high that was true over a year ago. it's down to third since that 9.1% that is what he was referring to. again that is a stale over a year old talking point is down 3% progress well ahead of when he took over. >> it is certainly not the head of wages and that is the key point wages are bidding inflation. here's what jason did her jason asked what was the trend in wages in 2018 and 19 before the pandemic and he extrapolated that trend forward present the only one to do that. but, what that does it ignores the pandemic. it ignores the global supply chain starling leading to a global inflation. it ignores the deep pandemic induced recession.

it ignores the fortunes of war on ukraine with the impact on food and energy prices. look i understand that is what economist going counterfactual i got to live in the real world the real history in the real world they are beating prices that is a very welcome trend. >> also welcomed trend good jobs report for august came out too. but the truth is every single month this year the jobs numbers have been revised for a net downward revision everything about this year. what that means is hundreds of thousands of jobs we were told. this year were not created about 30% of what we were told was created did not happen. our peoples perceptions their reality more in line with the data with what's actually happened than what you're trying to portray? >> are two answers that. personal peoples perceptions are not quite precisely what you say they are all get to that in the second period but second of all i don't think there's any good way to massage the statistics to any other conclusion than we

have a very strong labor market. 13.5 million jobs since this president took office, 800,000 in manufacturing. the unemployed rate below 4% for historical amount of time. shannon: is good is we talk about this 13 million jobs the vast majority of those were jobs at a back from code losses it. >> we have had very strong job growth in this region it's historically strong job growth regardless not just covid of the bounce back from kobe perfects about 10 million were covered bounce back progress i don't think you could find a comments other than this is persistently strong labor market with exemplary job growth providing great opportunities for american workers the thing is these revisions tell you something very important but we have other revisions to gdp that took gdp from two -- four until two -- one is a great growth rate its above trend. 187,000 jobs is a great jobs number four at this point in

this economic recovery. again will we have accomplished here is really important it's pretty unusual in economics. the strong labor market will take down inflation that's exactly what happened that is unusual as you know. typically to get that much inflation reduction you have to seat weakening in the labor market we have not seen that at all. that accomplishment is behind the fact real wages are beating prices contributing to consumer spending which continues to come in very strong sustaining the expansion. >> uis not without pain though. the fed works on this interest rates for an out north of seven for mortgages on first-time buyers are saying they are priced out they do not see how they're ever going to own a home for people sitting on at home sedona so they don't have to because they are locked-in in the 3% range is good for them their headlines everywhere investment is now the housing market is stagnant. that is a trouble spot people think they cannot get into homeownership. quick to make an important point there which is that most people tto in vast majority homeownerse

locked into interest rates well below 7%. that is key. as we discussed before our administration has a deep agenda for doing probably the most important thing in the housing market which is increasing the supply of affordable housing. we have talked about a proposal we have to extend the low income housing tax credit. we talked about pushing back on exclusionary zoning. some people are actively doing in some of our programs we have got these programs are associated with the inflation reduction act the infrastructure low with chips. if you want your bid to get accepted tell us how you're going to build affordable housing and key area. so you are transportation hub we are getting take up on those proposals. by the way that brings me something also really what's get back to him i think you want to go there to which is this thing i said earlier people are perceiving the economy. you like to give me your post i get that those are real and not discounting them. let me give you other numbers 82% support tech tapping

insolent costs were seen as a $35 a month 81% support giving medicare the power to negotiate lower drug prices 79% support tax incentives for more manufacturing jobs for 77% support capping out-of-pocket costs on prescription drugs. these are all measures that are in place. these are the components of bidenomics when someone tells you americans do not like bidenomics it is false. americans approve of the components above 80%. that is because these measures are helping to do it president biden has long sought to do with this economy. build it from the middle out on the bottom up soap middle income people have a fair shake progress why things packed and that let's talk about other numbers. the average mortgage price people are paying now is more than double that when you guys took office. we had a record of $1 trillion in credit card debt. people blown through savings they had during covid. 61% tell us they are living paycheck to paycheck is that

bidenomics? >> some of this we have to do some fact checking the average mortgage is not as you represented progress payments have doubled? >> has fabled new mortgages the average mortgage you have to consider nine out of 10 people have locked in a mortgage well below 7%. the average mortgage has not at all got up that much at all because most people's mortgage has not changed. shannon: he talked about people turning into low income housing you are encouraging if they cannot afford a 7% mortgage there not going to get into any house. >> this is why we need to continue our efforts to expand for the housing. we have to work together with congress. congressional democrats are there pewter congressional republicans need to get there. i mentioned we also have a series of grants and loans i will not tick off the acronyms. the increase the supply of affordable housing. this involves a pursestrings we have to do this in a fiscally

responsible way it needs to be paid for in our budget. we have $150 billion devoted exclusively to increasing affordable housing. if that is what we want both sides have to work together to get there. parks want to talk or something we talked about throughout the show today the id of the new funding request involves ukraine blinds of domestic aid tied to that right now and maui the losses in that disaster four -- 6 billion-dollar range. there's been a lot of consternation from books in thea ground for the federal response. now the time of ukraine fund said rubio is among those singer holding americans hostage. why not split these two question at the president says he won't do it but why not? >> know it is holding anyone hostage. we are trying to do is address extremely pressing measures. i am an economist i don't get why they're playing politics on this. especially when i hear overwhelming bipartisan support i heard some of us are mike

pence in your interview with him for taking these measures. helping people have been hurt by extreme weather events. that is typically not a problem for congress. typically has again overwhelming bipartisan support same with support for ukraine. there's a group of congressional republicans cannot seem to get out of the way of majority on both sides. this should be a no-brainer help people who have been hurt pretty shown the pictures today they are compelling we know people are going through. get out of the way but do the right thing. do your job and pass the supplemental so we can get people the help they need support ukraine against putin's brutal attack it's that simple prayer. >> herding cats on capitol hill as you know is very difficult. always appreciate your time thank you for coming. so by the way to those disasters that allows the red cross to respond right away to disasters they provide safe shelter, hot

>> any plan that does not include company flowed the borders a failed plan. if the national leaders are saying we are not going to stop the flow, that is a failed plan. shannon: new york mayor eric adam slammed the white house as he struggles to house more than 100,000 migrants and counting. time now for our sunday group howard kurtz at media critic coast of media buzz on fox news channel but from a state a permit spokesperson marie harsha. marc in project 21 chairman. welcome to all gone this holiday weekend. we appreciate your time being here. he says eric adams are not stopping the flow at the border. when pressed by our peter doocy this week and breathing press secretary karine jean-pierre said we are stopping the flow of the border. but here's the "washington post"

headline thursday. families across the u.s. border illegally reached an all-time high in august. so how we, we may be getting one thing but the numbers tell something else pick which of the democratic mayor of new york city constantly criticizing the border policy you got a problem as administration. when president biden abandoned the old trump policy at the numbers went down for a little while but now if the record-breaking surge many of them families it is a giant albatross around the presidents neck. even there's been a lot of arrests it's a program to allow people from countries like cuba and haiti to come in illegally. that is tied up in the courts and i would just say this is a very, very difficult situation. everybody knows the border is a mess and they are blaming the incumbent. thirty-six something your menstruation was with the trump/pence administration that a deal with it as well. what we hear is this. there are now business leaders

saying signing onto letters you've got to do better so governor hogle from new york has been critical publicly she was at the white house. the president made within the press secretary said he's got a alot of his play he's busy. >> to how his point is not just the mayor of new york it's its democrats along the border in and arizona as well. when the biggest element there's a lot of focus on the border wall and for good reason. i think when the most impactful policies was remade in mexico policy that said because we are overwhelmed then if you get cleared come in but not until then. that was the biggest impact for the bite administration on day one overturn that policy it led to this disaster and it's not letting up anytime soon. shannon: in your letter out signatures and be by jimmy dimon, thing we urge you to get things under control at the border put the federalist says this, wealthy democrats aided and abetted the biden border crisis and now they are whining about it.

as long as the chaos estate andn crisis data south texas democrats and deep blue uncle is like new york, chicago, los angeles were happy to talk to anyone who claimed there was a problem at the border preview complaint or propose solutions you were a racist. marie, the piece goes on to say shelters are bound capacity this is showing up in blue cities in their homes, their neighborhoods, their workplaces. and now they want in the den about it. >> first i would say the fact so many migrants are being apprehended is a good thing for the border patrol has had more funding for their actually finding people to do so. second, a lot of democrats represent border states in bandborder districts. because on the ground there there is not uniform agreement that republican policy should take the day. i know republicans talk a lot about the border and thought they are seen as tough a bit on the ground often democrats end up winning the ballot box. the final point i will make is this is a problem for the bite administration knows that. we talked about democrats beyond

the biden administration also talk about that. this is one issue will republicans in this primary are so extreme it. give ron desantis on the debate states you unilaterally take military action in mexico to go after this issue. that is not a serious policy. this is one place the biden team will say this is a hard problem we need congress to act. we need to do more to stem the tide republicans are not seriously actually talking about real policies here. that leaders in the republican partyparty donald trump, ron desantis, vivek ramaswamy it highlights extremism of the republican primary in such a tough issue. shannon: is cancel city have talked about the policies you may not like them but they talked but what they would do. >> absolute they are. september 11 is right around the corner. if a rudy giuliani had been saying i am worried there are serious threats that we face by foreign nationals that could in

instantly assault our country. he did not make that claim because he was not aware of that. we have mayors now making concerns and "wa "washington pod other sources indicate record numbers of foreign nationals who identified national security risks are coming in. if we were to have, god forbid, have some sort of attack that is a result of this you would not see what george bush saw where he gained in the upcoming midterm election control is in a state senate and easily ran for reelection. yyou see devastation politicall. so harm and political risk. this is where this is going right now. shannon: is a real families real people caught in the middle of this thing. you see the images is heart breaking at the border and the cities when it ended up on the streets. meanwhile the ministration is taking criticism for h halley hs

responded to various disasters that. i want to play something mrs. ohio senator and also president biden talking about why he has not gotten to feast t the palace scene just yet. >> you compare what is happening in east the palace scene and maui see a guy who promised he ran for president saying he would bring decency and empathy back to the oval office. donald trump showed up and joe biden never did. >> have not had the occasion to go to east palestine there's a lot going on here and i have not been able to break. >> presidents can't be everywhere but to at least pronounce the name of the town correctly for people have been waiting for him to show up is not play well for. >> it doesn't and he should have been there before noaa can't say it hasn't come up in his schedule has been on vacation for quite a bit of august. it is a black mark on the administration they have not been there. i think as well crisis we are talking about at the border, it

is a horrific commencing crisis we have not talked about with the fentanyl issues tutoring to families in america. the fact everyone knows at this point a child a young person has died from fentanyl, it needs to be addressed it cannot continue to be ignored. shannon: how would you think the press is going to hone in on this with president biden, the fact he has not made it yet to ohio? they take the explanation i'm too busy to me other things on my plate records he read the issue it has been so long since that toxic train disaster. when presidents complainant to o maui, glad you went to florida, at south are going to suddenly change the policy. the president and showing that he cares he cares enough to go you the balance that with not just corrupting ongoing efforts there five days after the absolute disaster in maui biden did not talk about it at all or would put out statements he's got a great pulpit he is

described as a man of great empathy but he needs to use that more and sometimes you need to get on air force one and go and show the administration is trying to do everything he can to help the victims. shannon: marie is that fair? optics been on this world on the campaign trail count for a lot progress optics to count for a lot joe biden's widely seen as a sympathizer and chief when voters even if they do not agree with him meet him in some very tough situations that are going to they often say he was very comforting, he was very supportive. at the end of the day that what they actually need is federal disaster relief from washington. the federal fund for that is running out of money because we have had so many natural disasters. many prompted by increasing climate change i will note as well. we are running out of money. so the president goes there and talks of these people what he could do besides bringing empathy is money to up rebuild their communities. he has asked congress for billions more to refinance the

disaster relief and i hope congress votes for it. not to pick on ron desantis too much when he was in congress he voted against funding for hurricane sandy and now he needs it for the federal government republicans love to do this they vote against disaster relief until the state needs it. this'll be interesting part of the upcoming government funding, how much money do we have for places like maui, places like florida? i'm disappointed the government governor did not see president biden is in the the natural disr for political reasons. >> he didn't criticize them. chris a precedent i will criticize him and biden didn't your right too. >> oftentimes and shoot site there are many other things tight up in these packages. and now we got it tied to ukraine the people like you mentioned earlier senator rubio who is down in the middle of this disaster in florida saying you are holding americans hostage me so he can only get domestic disaster funding if you're going to give me 24 billion were for ukraine. >> my old boss used to say caring about people is the key

to success in washington. if you can think that. >> i was going to say it. [laughter] i am not sure. [laughter] >> this president has even been faking it. he does not want to go through the motions and the american people are able to tell. this juxtaposition of ukraine and american domestic is the exact worst mixture possible. shannon: are at present biden not a good figure we will leave it there for a penalty not to farm and got more in a minute. a reminder for foxbusiness network is your home for the second 2024 republican primary debate. we will co- moderate the debate live from the presidential foundation. and the institute in simi valley, california september 27 get it on your counter. the debate will cut simulcast on fox news channel. up next president biden pushing a new covid booster shot created by big pharma. reportedly with no human studies

we have to present to congress. [inaudible] a request for additional funding for a new vaccine that is necessary, that works. shannon: present biden late last week laying out his plan for call on congress to pass more funding for newco in vaccine as cases across the nation on the rise again here we are backed out with the panel. doctor marty mckay from john hopkins our viewers will be very familiar with him. wrote a piece of wall street journal this week he said is this our new drug approval process? there are no human outcomes data

on our new shout with the food and drug administration is expected to approve the next two weeks and are binding normal scientific and regulatory process erodes public trust. he notes 20% of american the public got taken the last booster last time around but the government spent $5 billion on it millions a month of doses had been thrown away. i am not sure people know it's not been tested on humans. >> is interesting about that data because it is concentrated. went to my doctor in virginia i spent most of my time in texas. my doctor told me that almost all of his patients are taking it. when i go back to texas i cannot find a person that is taking it. this construct, where in washington everybody thanks this is what you're supposed to do and it is normal. there are americans all across the country and they wonder why are we following the normal protocols? that give us the kind of assurance? that may explain why so few

people outside of the east coast and west coast or any of taking it. shannon: dr. fauci's out there talking about this also, the chatter about the new cases and that new shot weather mask and mandates are going to come back. here's what he said yesterday. >> i think people need to realize it is extremely unlikely you are going to see a mandate for example from the cdc which has no authority to mandate anything with regard to masks. they can only recommend it. shannon: how we come a lot of skeptics as a cdc only recommends things. but that for millions and minds of people mandates on shots, masks, all kinds of things the last couple of years have fallen out of love many of them with the cdc. >> i cannot believe her still talk about covid pareto at least a half a dozen people who have gotten it and it's a milder version. as far as it masks or at lockdowns, the consensus is so radically moved. looking back now when we know a lot more there is a feeling that

these were failures by and large. not necessarily every single case. i don't think we'll see any rational politicians they were going to order this you have to take the shot you have to get a mask or you can't go to school, go to work, whatever it is. i think that would be political track and see a want to make truth to the other topic that this week the senate is back in session lisa senate minority leader mitch mcconnell head of the public episode raising concerns about his health, his doctor said he's fine he has cleared him. but let me give you nikki haley's take on this she is talking not just about him but other lawmakers here in d.c. >> it is sad but no one should feel good about seeing that. anymore than we should feel good about seeing a dianne feinstein put any that we should see good of it what's happening or seeing joe biden's are quite what i will say right now the senate is the most privileged nursing home in the country. shannon: is a conversation both parties have to have they both have very prominent senior

members who have questions about their ability to do their jobs. >> first i want to say i had covered for 18 days early this month it was not mild, it was not fun we should get the updated vaccines if you are able to healthwise because we have gone through this every time we talked about new boosters with omicron who their chestnut who they are not the reason we're in the middle of a surge more people are not in the hospitals becabecause a vaccine actress wo say that having lived through covid fairly recently. on the issue of health in congress, i don't think we're ever going to get to that moment that will never actually passed passwould never get a constitutl amendment. what i don't know is where the evil are the politicians lives these families, spouses of the members of leadership other members of their party because it is quite frankly sad to see what people like mitch mcconnell, dianne feinstein, cochran, we have witnessed a lot of these folks over the years there something to be said for having people in congressman's additional knowledge who have learned the issues who have been there for years i know for example how to get bills passed

how to work with the other side. but it is sad when you see some of these politicians who do not look like they're operating at full strength. last thing i'll say is we need more transparency. joe biden's position puts out full reports of his physicals. we need more transparency from a think mitch mcconnell's doctor and doctors who treat some of these politician provokes dianne feinstein progress absolutely put ou i would agree with that s well. wall walter journal said the see leaders are chosen by their poly guard is the best position to judge mr. mcconnell's continuing ability if they think mr. mcconnell could still be effective leader increasing fractious gop senate conference, they say should say the job progress i totally agree the reality is that there senate republicans can choose their own that they can choose a different leader anytime they want. do not think mitch mcconnell situation is comparable frankly to the severe dementia dianne feinstein is struggling with right now. as far as manager retirement age or some federal rule i look for to nikki haley calling for chuck

grassley to retire sometime soon. [laughter] >> 89 is still going very strong. >> politicians and up to give up our progress of the notes at present b bunch apart its conversation two. "washington post" opinion piece is calling on all of these lawmakers to be transparent and bare they are at they note this white house press secretary risley said the president during an appearance on cnn it is hard for us to keep up with this president which is in line she uses a lot. they go on to states externally difficult to believe the jean-pe her peers being good health in her 40s is having a hard time keeping up with an 80-year-old biden if she really means what she saying maybe she should see a doctor too. [laughter] >> look, this whole conversation makes me think that in washington d.c. what we need is a crypt keeper instead of someone who is checking to see who is healthy and who is not. we are looking at the oldest senate that we have seen in 100 plus years, maybe ever. we know how the president of the

united states was the oldest president ever. i am not saying we need a rule. i'm not saying when you constitutional moment but i am saying in a nation this large with this many types of people with skills, can't we get people in office who brings in energy, youth and vibrance quest reports there are some out there making the best argument for them. we also lost a couple of legends this week it seems many of us sort of surprisingly soon jimmy buffet and also governor bill richardson entertainment politics, marie governor richardson was a shock for a lot of people. his time after government that really won him so many accolades as well because that is what is so amazing and negotiating with these hostile terrible regimes to get american citizens home savings of north korea, russia, with brittney griner after he was in office played such a key role during the really hard work of diplomacy often the u.s. government cannot do officially. what a tragedy is very sad when

i saw that yesterday. shannon: in most of us were shocked to hear jimmy buffett was a sick as he was regrets i was married to somehow do not have margaritas and is part of the discussion regrets as a fill up my apartment should had margaritas. >> everybody k knows him those songs. everybody knows his voice but what surprised me and reading some of the obituaries is he became fabulously wealthy se package disenfranchised about the beach lifestyle, key west, taking it easy. he got to the point he worried he was no longer jimmy buffett the guy sitting there with a mai tai and the hat under the sun. he tried to stay in touch with his roots at the end. shannon: he has given all of us anthems for summer and beyond. and during the break we will work on those margaritas. panel, thank you very much with you next sunday paid by the lewis and the gray special coming up next week as i mark one year theo and "fox news sunday." details on our special guest and
