ari fleischer, welcome. >> thank you. say president biden's putin price hike line is an alibi. liberals are more sympathetic, but even people like msnbc guy steve ratner if says the white house let things spin out of control. what's your take on the coverage? >> yeah, i think the coverage actually has been appropriately difficult and tough on joe biden when it comes to inflation. they're kind of pounding president biden, and it doesn't matter what show you watch. the issue here, howard, is this is so palpable. people feel it every day. there's no getting around it. and i do not think this is a case where the media's going easy on biden. i looked at cnn, "the new york times"' coverage, they've been tough on the impact this has had on the american people. howard: right. you might say he were a little slow to dive into it, but certainly, i think, nobody can deny the fact that this is hurting families. jen psaki, who has your old cob -- job, was on the liberal podcast pod save is america, and she was asked this about fox news

ari fleischer is with us along with joe concha. i love the book title and cover. appropriate when you compare how they treated donald trump and his entire family and how they treat joe biden and his entire family. >> yes. that's what motivated me to write this book. it's coming out in july. when i watched the coverage of president trump who sometimes i agreed and sometimes i disagreed with. the press was so unfair to him. everything was done to reverse the results of the 2016 election. the people get to decide who the president is. the press decided for his personality and policy he was such a threat to the country they needed to step in and deceive readers and viewers and suppress the news. they book has example after example of the press doing that. the bias is off the charts. >> sean: joe, you follow the media job for a living. you should have your own show on it. i am looking -- somebody needs to step in here. everybody in the white house knows he is in far worse shape than we even know. they knew it during the campaign and know it now. the weakness abroad is

let me read this, ari fleischer, you're a great communicator. know mark penn, wellan respected democratic pollster. he said these economic blows are not just one element in a cascading set ofasca problems al hitting at the same time. it combines the nuclear anxietyh of the 50s and 60s with the inflation threat of the 70s, the crime wave of the 80sns and 90s and the tensions over illegal immigration in the 2000s and beyond. then he says this electorate is not experiencing a malaise as president jimmy carter once said, to proclaim what is instead formed a deep national fissure ready to blow like geiser in the next election if the leadership does not move to relieve the pressure. now that's a democratic pollster. that's a prettyyas a dem deep, w prediction on his part and iit agree with every word of it. well, it's also just veryt' interesting, isn't with a man on the street, the woman on the street, the people for w all these years nower who are just fed up with everything that's going on where nothing's going better and then t joe bidn came along

no irony there, ari. >> secretary fleischer: sometime s you have to have a sense of humor about thisefted them, it's been for years? i think they heard that donald trump got thrown of social media. don't they realize how bad it is? don't they realize? haven't they heard how conservatives speech is canceled? the algorithms that have been put in use to suppress. and conservative thought? you know, when i heard ed markey talk about algorithmic justice, i thought that was a punk rock band that played in the village in the 70s mech what on earth kind of phrase is that to begin with? how the democrats are so opposed to free speech that day really need -- they want to turn america into a college campus and kick conservatives off. >> laura: 's billionaires are jealous of other berliners. but the whole thing is stupid. but mollie, i got to touch on something we talked about with marjorie taylor greene earlier which is the conference that they had today to try to i think things down and over their differences after these late audit recordings of a call, with that january 6 in mind, your reacti

ari fleischer, you know the media. once "the washington post," we can have a go, the laptop is real. they knew that the grand jury had been convened. they knew this information is coming out. they knew it had already been validated. this was their cya, let's get ahead of it so we entail people know, we found out it's true after all. right or wrong. >> what does it tell people about the mainstream media's got an instinct and judgment when they ran with the steele dossied everything that came out and about the hunter biden story? they got it exactly backwards. they should've shown the steele dossier they had got some good instinct and ran after the story but one thing here on the essence of this story. republicans and conservatives need to stop talking about the hunter biden laptop. it's about joe biden and what he has said. that's the issue. the evidence produced on that laptop and through the emails on the texts shows that joe biden knew about her son's business dealings in mind about it to the american people. the tex

ari fleischer former white house press secretary and fox news contributor.your top line thoughts. >> how can they not take this seriously? when the governor says the administration won't come to the border and we'll bring the border to them he is 100% right. i live in westchester county, new york with all the midnight flights bringing illegal immigrants to my home county. what is wrong with the governor of texas bringing people to washington, d.c.? they need to live it, feel it and see it the way people in the border states do. it's an act of desperation. they're overwhelmed and overcome. >> harris: governor ron desantis is looking at doing something just like this. >> he should. i think all governors should do this. washington, d.c. especially the democrats who control the congress and looked the other way want for their political interests to have people come to america illegally. there is no distinction morally or legally between someone coming legally or illly. these people need to see the situation. i hope there are thousands and thousands of people bro

ari fleischer have reaction in moments at my plumbing business.nline technology is central to everything we do. we use social media and online advertising to reach new customers and rely on digital tools and platforms to make our business more efficient. i don't understand why some in congress want to take away the technology we use every day. this political campaign against american technology will hurt small businesses like mine who need it. our leaders need to strengthen not weaken american technology. why are so many people turning to super supermarkets, crystal? because superbeets crystal give you the energy and blood pressure support. you want some real business without the super and i swear by it, it gives me more healthy energy to keep up with my head to get in for was inspired by the nobel prize winning discovery. nitric oxide is a blood vessel signaling super black cherry flavored crystals to unlock the nitric oxide, boosting our offbeat new tricks to help widen your blood vessels supporting healthy blood flow so your body can produce en

more the co-host of outnumbered kelly mcinerney along with former white house press secretary ari fleischer. you know, ari, i'm going to you first on this for one reason.the you know,w, the media once the washington post what was it a week and a half ago? he oh , the laptop is real. they knew that the grand jury had been convened. they knew this informationw wab coming out. they knew it had already been validated and this was their cia. t so we let's try and get ahead of it so people we can tell people, oh , no, we found out it's true after all right or wrong. >> what does it tell you aboute the mainstream media's gut instincts and judgment when they ran with the steele s dossier and they shunned everythingnd that came out about the biden story, they got it exactly backwards. they should have shunned the steele dossier ify they hadt good guts and good instincts and ran after this story. but one thing here strong on the essence of this story, this is not about hunter and republicans and conservatives need to stop talking about the hunter bidenen hu laptop. this is about joe biden'ser bide et

ari fleischer is with us along with fox news contributor joe . all right. i love the book title and i b love the book cover. ari, and how how appropriate is it when you compare how theyre treated donald trump and his entire family and how they treat joe biden and his entire family? yeah, and you know, so that's what motivated me's to write this book. it's coming outut in july. but when i watch the coverage of president who sometimesov i agree with sometimes i disagree with , i is so convinced that the press was so unfair to himim that everythinger they did, everything they reported was done to reverse the results of the 2016 election. and it is not the press's job to engage in that type behavior. it's the public's job. it's the people's job. they get to decide the president is. but t the press basically decidd that both in terms of his personality and policy that he was such a threat to the country that they needed to step in and distort the news to deceive their readers, to deceive their viewers and suppress newsde. and my book is replete with example after

ari fleischer on where the hunter biden case could go from here and the media's role in all of this.they were two tracks where it can go, when his judicial and hunter biden currently under investigation for tax evasion and other crimes for a grand jury. that is the most serious because that could show evidence that could embarrass or involve the president peer of the other track is the public track. if you are a democrat, you go to sources nuc sources that aren't telling you everything about this story. so you don't think there is an ethical problem. if you are a conservative and watch conservative sources you know about it because it's been properly reported so america is split and divided. that is the reality and the media coverage where the left-wing media and mainstream media suppresses news they don't want the public to see. >> todd: black lives matter go on defense after revealed the group donated funds to buy a $6 million mansion in socal. the organization posting long-winded twitter thread that reads "you know this causes horns to organizations doing work across the country.

journeyman how is ari fleischer from the white house press secretary, fox news contributor, and omelette former left-wing activists. ari, this is so transparent, what they are doing with the student debt forgiveness. it's insulting, and obvious we just adds to our economic woes. >> and it's just morally wrong. why is it student debt? why is -- why isn't that your car debt? why isn't it your home debt? what a burden, nobody should have to pay any of their bills. it's wrong to make people pay the bills that they incurred. what about all the rest of us who do pay our bills and do pay our debts? on appointment, as president biden loves to point out, is low. people have jobs, they have money, so they need to pay their bills. if this is just buying votes as the democrats always try to do, but this is also an example of how the democrats are increasingly becoming the party of the rich. these are the well-to-do college graduates, master's degree-holding college graduates, just like they want to bring back the relief if you pay your state and local income taxes, to deduct all those, which benefit

we'll put that question to ari fleischer, he'll give his take. and miranda devine, dr. sandra: fox news alert on a friday afternoon. a live look there in seattle, topping a brand-new hour. president biden is set to make remarks there to celebrate earth day. his critics say his climate policies come at a steep cost that we all end up having to pay for anyway. welcome back as "america reports" rolls into hour two. i'm sandra smith. hi, mike. >> mike: hi, i'm in for john roberts. impact on prices is one thing but not the only thing riling up critics this earth day. and greta thunberg is saying the same thing as consecutive critics. >> sandra: and those on the left lecture americans about it but do not practice what they preach. >> mike: edward lawrence is at the white house with what it takes on wallets. >> s.e.c., a new report says it would cause companies 10.2 bltdz for the new climate regulations and in the process of enacting. that could also be passed on to to us, and the things we buy going forward. so the president set to speak about what he's calling a bold agenda

let's bring in our panel former white house press secretary ari fleischer. , says they are going to appeal if the cdc says the mask mandate is necessary. some circles say the cdc is going to say that it's necessary. but the bottom line is that the biden administration didn't take the victory lap when this judge, a federal judge who clerked for clarence thomas gave them the federal ruling. >> yeah. and the president said it's up to individuals as opposed to saying it's a bad ruling and will appeal it. i think it's fair to say that the department of justice is masking what it's doing. they are very uncomfortable position. nobody wants to take this political hot potato. do you know why? everybody in america is sick and tired of wearing masks because everybody knows it this should have ended on airplanes, trains, train stations, airports, months ago. there is no good health reason and the statistics, bret, the states that did not have mask mandates their incidences getting covid almost identical to the states that did have mask mandates. same for death rates. mas

and dana perino to fox along with ari fleischer and from the trump years their huckabee sanders and kayleighki wasn't confirmed or denied the msnbc move generates the won the perspective the press corps by the sharp criticism, she's lost until fro the podium from her cute featur collies raises the question whether she should have her sig more quickly. >> shannon: thank you. and kevin is back. this is the season of -- were not giving up bar midnight snacks before land. courtesy of ours seeing your -- first, kevin, you have got a story to tell about a man and i involves land and not giving up beer but getting everything els up but beer. even homer simpson would be proud this. and ohio man giving up food for lead to sustain and all liquid diet consisting only of the beer . i kid you not. guildhall is doing this for fou years row, sustain a beer only diet but he said it is not abou getting drunk. instead it's raising money for the alliance that this organization that helps adults with physical disabilities and opportunities for work that are most relevant. so that is the good side of thi and he

also hear from ari fleischer, miranda devine, and

and former white house press secretary ari fleischer explained how this affects democrat voters. >> allsed the democratic base is. they were never excited by joe biden to begin with. they saw him as the alternative to donald trump. now that he is doing so poorly and you have liberal columnists piling on it further depresses the democratic base leading to a november election where republicans surge in turnout and democrats stay home. >> harris: marc thiessen is fox news contributor and former white house speech writer and who if you were in this white house your fingers would be breaking from all of the cleanup that you would have to be writing about and fixing. >> it's crazy. >> harris: let's talk about this polling. let's talk about what it looks like to hit the reset button. >> so first of all, i mean, the democrats are trying to have it both ways in the biden administration. they are suing to restore the federal mask mandate on planes because the covid emergency is not yet over. but they are lifting title 42 at the border because the covid emergency is over. so which is it? is the co

let's bring in our panel former white house press secretary ari fleischer.hat the president said today and what you heard from that statement from senator manchin? >> well, manchin is right on and for god's sake, joe, give it up. nobody believes you. i mean, the american people don't believe you. even the democrats are abandoning you on this issue. you might say something about putin, yeah. bearing some responsibility for inflation in the game here. but day one, what is the first thing you did? got rid of the xl pipeline for pete's sake take responsibility and while i'm talking about the xl pipeline he is in iowa today, bret, and is he talking about ethanol and he is asking the e.p.a. to look the other way as you reported. ethanol creates smog for god's sake. so we're going to have more ethanol and more smog. joe biden is creating smog? the e.p.a. and the police should lock him up. you can't do that i mean, why is ethanol smog better than what fossil fuel does? >> bret: larry summers, leslie, has been talking about this for a long time. obviously a democrat.

joining me now, ari fleischer, former white house pressco secretary, fox news contributor, author of the new book suppressione, deception, snobbery and bias why the press gets so much wrong and molly hemingway, editor in chief of the federalist and fox news contributor con. no ari, i'm seeing this and i know you are as well. there's an unmistakable shifthe in the media's tone here. they see the iceberg and it's the midterm elections and it seems like they're bearing down on that iceberg pretty fast. the danger here for joe biden and all democrats in the houseal and the senate and why a lot of districts that you thought were going to be safe democrat are going b to be in play this november is all this is a sign of how depressed. the democratic base is and whatn happens in these first midterm elections f. he the opposite party is excitedy the agenda they can't wait to go vote the bums out of office and that's the way a lot of people feel about joe biden. but the democrat base is not excited. they were never really excitedoi by joe biden tong begin with . they just saw him as thean alte

with that, we bring in ari fleischer under george w.rtment official. good to have you with us as we wait for john kirby to come out here. david, let's start with you. your reaction to that poll that more than half of those asked said they don't think the president is tough enough in this environment. >> well, that poll means that about half either think he has been just about right or he should be doing less, so he's basically in the middle there. what i caution people about this war is to not take a snapshot on one day as how things are going and judge everything based on that. the war is fluid and constantly changing. president biden and his administration will ultimately be judged several months from now when people look back and say did we do enough to help the ukrainians resist this invasion? right now it's about half and half. it's likely to shift. what president biden wants is for the american people to believe that he did everything he could do short of sending in american troops to help the ukrainians. when i left ukraine three
