the u.s. economy -- could cost the u.s. economy billions of dollars. >> brian: mark meredith knows all about it. >> good morning to all three of you. they say their members want a huge increase in pay and better benefits and if they don't get it by the end of tonight, likely they will go on strike, in a matter of hours. economists studying very closely, a view if a strike goes on, even ten days, it could cost the u.s. economy some $5 billion. the white house says it is eager to see a deal reached. >> he's encouraged the parties to stay at the table and work 24 and 7 to get a win-win agreement that keeps uaw workers at the heart of our auto future and ensures uaw jobs are good middle class jobs. >> any strike could impact three big automakers, ford, general motor, and chrysler's parents company stelatis.

they want an increase in pay, shorter work week and perks, and so far demands are still out there, labor union not happy with it. >> we are preparing to strike these companies in a way they have never seen before. our message to the companies was clear. if we don't have a fair contract by midnight on thursday night, we will strike. >> the timing here for the white house could not be any worse. the president is ready to talk about the economy going forward, and we are hearing from a former uaw official who talked about where things stand with the democratic party. he says the uaw members feel abandoned by the democratic party. i think there's a segment of the party that sees itself as serving corporations rather than the common good. we have had a lot of disappointments. so, there is going to be a lot of focus on what happens over the next several hours. we don't know how long a strike would last or something that drags on for weeks, for months, and we also are waiting to find out exactly how this will be

carried out. the union is previewing what is going to happen. as for president biden, he is going to talk about the economy or bidenomics, and as we have been talking about, pete, ainsley and brian, with the economic data, concern about where the u.s. economy is today. >> pete: to bring it full circle you might say the auto workers, the white house, and the big three automakers, they are not n sync. >> brian: nice, nice. >> pete: just saying. >> brian: it was so important for me to weigh in on them touring. let's talk about joe biden and the fact in so many ways he is hitting a critical point, not only in his presidency, but in his career. and if you see the amount of people that have watched him on the world stage make up stories and movie references and songs that were actually movies, and

then say things that don't make sense like i was at 9/11 the next day, when we know you weren't there until later two weeks, when you see the cadence of the questions in the press room not coming from fox or peter doocy or jacqui heinrich, but from the mass audience, karine jean-pierre just left yesterday because she didn't like the type of questions she was getting. >> ainsley: when you have most of the country concerned about his age, democrats are even saying this, too, it's something you have to pay attention to and david ignatius with the "washington post" and novelist on brian's radio show all the time, he said basically it pains me to say that i'm concerned about his age, or i'm concerned -- i don't want him to run again. because he's a big democrat. and but he did say he doesn't think biden should run for re-election. he's citing polls in the article that most voters think his age is an issue, and because of his age, voters will focus more on

kamala harris, he's worried about her and he said they risk undoing the greatest achievement of their presidency, he says, which was stopping trump, and he does not want either one of them to run. he says joe never should have let his son serve on the burisma board. it's an interesting article and quinnipiac does a poll, do you think biden is too old to serve another term, 69% said yes, 29% no, and some don't know. >> pete: you ask the same question about donald trump, is he too old, 62% say no. so, with biden, it's not really about age, yes, trump is a few years younger, it's not really an age issue. it's a capability issue. it's a competency issue. it's a stand in front of a fundraiser and say i don't know why the republicans are trying to impeach me, i guess they are trying to shut down the government.

really? are you under a bubble? do you know it's thursday? that's what voters we act to. they can spin bidenomics, spin experience or loves his son or wisdom, but average voters and mostly democrats see what happens on their television and they want a different option. >> ainsley: commander in chief, over the military, representing the united states on the world stage. it's embarrassing. we wish him the best. we don't want him to fall, don't want him to rattle off and tell false stories but this is the president of the united states. we have a choice next year, next november, and we have to vote for someone who is competent, who can -- who can represent our country. >> brian: so i would add this. if you want to compare trump and biden and say well, 77 and 80. trump did one straight hour on cnn, standing up, taking all hostile questions. and he just sat down with megyn kelly for two hours on a

podcast, took the most aggressive questions, deep policy questions, aggressive questions, interesting questions, for two hours. joe biden has not done one interview since july. he's the president. how do you possibly not have a press conference and sit down for an interview and do your job and want your job since july? and spend all your time in delaware. your day ends friday at noon, it does not start until monday at noon. who can do a job like this on those hours. >> pete: everyone inside the white house and the press corps know it's question. when will they admit it. david admitted it when no one else would. everyone is whispering it. the question is when will jill whisper it and say joe, it's time. >> brian: why hasn't she yet. >> ainsley: nancy pelosi had an interesting interview, she's asked if kamala harris is the

right running mate for the president, and she dodges the question. listen. >> is vice president kamala harris the best running mate for this president? >> he thinks so and that's what matters. and by the way -- she's very politically astute. i don't think people give her enough credit. people shouldn't underestimate what kamala harris brings to the table. >> do you think she is the best running mate, though? >> she's the vice president of the united states. people say to me, why isn't she doing this or that, and i said because she's the vice president. that's the job description. you don't do that much. >> ainsley: you don't do that much as vice president, and she admits, everyone is asking me why doesn't she do anything? >> brian: so much wrong with that interview, anderson cooper knew it. >> ainsley: a smirk. >> brian: are you really not answering this question? >> pete: all you have to say is yes, she would not say. >> brian: she's bright, affable,

people have not seen the best of her. >> ainsley: how does that affect the republicans will have a field day with that and have fun with that. what do democrats say when they say nancy pelosi, who was so well respected, she was the speaker, you might not like her but democrats like her, she's speaking for the party. >> brian: so is dave ignatius. >> pete: they know it, they are in a box. >> brian: after the midterms which they barely took the house and held the senate, i thought for sure the biden -- biden would have the democrat machine. but instead they are pushing back against iowa, they don't want caucus quickly, the new hampshire, we don't want to start new hampshire, they want to start in south carolina, they want nevada. the democratic party can't only get the primary process together, the one candidate, rfk, jr. was told if you want a primary you pay for it. this party, we found out was fixing it for hillary clinton against bernie sanders, and

panicked in 2020, and picked joe biden out of the wilderness, they are eliminating the democratic process for the democratic party. why? >> pete: it's a ruling regime, they have the power. >> ainsley: they want the power. people wonder all the time who is running this country. it's not joe biden. who is behind the scenes running the country. they have a whole team that chooses. >> pete: that team does not want to lose the control they have. imagine the ability to be the shadow puppet and run the show. hey, joe, just go over here. >> ainsley: they are like joe is our candidate, joe is our chosen one. >> brian: i guess, and it's hard to push back, but if you look at the quality of the people doing that, jared bernstein knows what he's talking about. he's spinning numbers, he's very confident behind the lecturn. when is the last time pete buttigieg, and the secretary of

state pride and pate -- patriotism, it's not happening. who is running it? no rumsfeld character taking demand of the department. it's a mystery. we are on automatic pilot and everyone is does their job and the country is rudderless. >> pete: out of this world, nasa will release a long-awaited report on ufos. >> ainsley: one day after scientists in mexico showed off what they claim are these mummified remains of aliens. >> brian: i think it's real. lucas, have you seen anything like that alive or dead up until yesterday? >> only when i watched the movie "e.t.," brian. nasa's anticipated ufo study is out at 9:30, following by a

briefing at 10:00. a panel has examined data related to ufo sightings, the sky and space and underwater as well. the team of experts is likely to make suggestions to nasa how to collect information. and in mexico, lawmakers south of the border heard testimony and were presented with these two little artifacts, rolled out and some say resemble e.t. they were reportedly discovered in peru in 2017 and date back 1,000 years. some think they look too perfect. there was a hearing on ufos, the claim about the recovery of ufo wreckage. >> do we have the bodies of the pilots who piloted the craft. >> biologics came with some recoveries, are yeah. >> were they, i guess, human or nonhuman biologics? >> nonhuman and that was the

assessment of people with direct knowledge on the program i talked to that are currently still on the program. >> live on nasa tv or stay tuned to the fox news channel for the highlights. guys. >> brian: lucas, don't you feel good if this was an alien we could take them? they are small. am>> pete: and three fingers. >> don't they look too perfect like something you can buy in a store? they die right like this? >> ainsley: you could make them out of sand at the beach. look at them. >> brian: that's what an alien looks like. if you want to be nay-sayers, go ahead. >> it's a little e.t. >> ainsley: very skinny body. >> brian: and no belly button. >> we know they are not human. >> pete: toss it over to carley. >> i don't know about you body

we were monitoring the house and we noticed the dumpster show up in the driveway, which confused us, so we just started watching and then we noticed some occupants and then not long after we started noticing a lot of traffic coming in and out, and it was clear what they were up to. it was obvious they were selling drugs and it looked like they were -- they were renting rooms to females. they have a lot of suspicious activity going in, so i didn't confront them, i sat back and watched them for a while, and then i eventually i had all my ducks in a row so i called the police after i caught him stealing the utilities. he broke a water pipe and took the lock off the water company

and turned his water back on. so i called the police and they showed up and basically told me that he has paperwork and you have paperwork, it's a civil matter, so basically sent me back home -- >> ainsley: that is unbelievable. he put the utility bills in his name so he could show the police no i have rights to the house. but he didn't rent the house have you, right? >> no, he's a total stranger. >> ainsley: that is crazy. so police are not able to do anything. what happened next? how was he finally arrested? >> when i caught him busting the water line and i had the local news station coming, that's when i called the police a second time and i was quite upset and told them, you know, look, he's done broke the water line, he's stealing water, you know, this is ridiculous, he don't belong

guess what the number within -- one trending topic is on social media, hurricane lee. category 2 storm, the 8:00 a.m. advisory, interacting with colder air below it in the atlantic and we have some upper level winds starting to tear it apart, but thinking a hurricane as we get into the weekend. landfall across eastern canada but this storm is huge. 600 miles wide, so it's going to impact from the mid atlantic towards the northeast. we could have storm surge, we are certainly going to have waves upwards of two feet in

some areas and heavy rainfall in some spots and even hurricane-force winds for coastal maine. take a look at this wind gust forecast, 60 to 100 miles per hour along the coast here. and that's going to pile water up here, so i am concerned, especially with coastal flooding, it's a big concern and the eye, the center of the storm is making landfall. but impacts all along the coast. that's the bottom line. we are going to continue to track this. also i want you to still have a plan, ok. if this wobbles more to the west it will be a bigger story for places like boston, up towards bangor, maine. so we will continue to monitor this. foxweather.com for details and heavy rain for the southern plains and much cooler temperatures across much of the country, that's great news. pete, over to you. >> pete: thank you, janice, see you in a minute. a federal judge temporarily blocking the governor of new mexico's plan to suspend the right to legally carry guns in albuquerque. the state's most dangerous city. joining us now, "the five"

co-host, judge jeanine pirro. >> jeanine: good morning. >> pete: here is what the governor said to this ruling. i refuse to be resigned to the status quo. as governor i see the pain of families who lost their loved ones to gun violence every single day and never stop fighting to prevent other families from enduring these tragedies. >> jeanine: she can be hell bent on whatever she wants, she doesn't have the power to suspend the constitution. i don't know what's worse, her ignorance or arrogance. arrogance in thinking that as a local governor she's going to suspend the second amendment to the constitution or ignorance of the second amendment and the fact the united states supreme court has repeatedly affirmed the right of people to carry arms through mcdonald, heller ab recently in new york, they said you don't have the right to just have it in your home, you can take it with you. so, you know, when she was

asked, this governor was asked, do you think this will stop people with illegal guns, she said no. and -- >> pete: what's the point? >> jeanine: there is no point. if she really wanted to fight crime she could get rid of cashless bail, upping or amping up police departments, closing cases, issuing arrests warrants, sting operations on gun sales. there's a million things she could do. but the arrogance and by the way, as soon as she said it, her own attorney general said that's unconstitutional, i'm not going to defend you. and the judge who says this is unconstitutional was appointed by biden. so, i don't know if she's just trying to up the profile, you know, i'm a female governor, maybe you want to think about me as the party starts moving away from joe biden, which i think is starting to be kind of a given, given david ignatius' column the other day, but it's a sad commentary on the left thinking

that we are going to suspend the constitution. you can't, won't, and can't get away with it. >> pete: you have a great new special on fox nation, i don't know if you can get a shot of the judge's shoes, but befitting her new series "the life of luxury." a preview on fox nation, with judge jeanine, watch. >> are you ready for your next shot? >> are you? >> you are doing good, you've got this. so again, wide shoulders, strong stance. that's on target. >> pete: not bad. i've seen -- there we go, look at that. bam, on point this morning. 8:30 in the morning. tell us about it. >> jeanine: a great new show, i'm excited about this, we go and look at some of the most prestigious, maybe not so well-known hotels in secluded areas around the country from

the ocean house in maine, castle hot springs in arizona, little palm island, the florida keys, all of these places are unique, they are spectacular in their own way. a lot of them are, you know, like farm to table, they have hot springs, some of them have carriages. i've never seen hotels like this, and i got to tell you, pete, this, i'm really excite abouted this special. i think you will be, too, when you see how some people live a life of luxury and they enjoy it on a regular basis. for me, i enjoyed it for one night, we can all dream, pete. >> pete: you know how to do it. available right now on fox nation, the life of luxury. all right, straight ahead, biden's border crisis going nationwide, mass releasing illegals to arizona streets to the massachusetts national guard deployed as chaos takes over new
