joining the conversation all morning long fox business dagen mcdowell and through the cycle presidentki, dagen, it looks like they are doing to carrot and stick approach with kyrsten sinema and they've got her support so far as we can see. your thoughts? dagen: it looks like it's hurdling being passed in the senate as it stands right now over the weekend that republicans will have a last-ditch effort trying to as the wall street journal phrases it complicate the bill's passage offering a mirage of amendments to the legislation, they'll be a marathon session over the weekend but for senator manchin, senator schumer and even senator kyrsten sinema, this is a handout to rich people. it is -- it would boost the carrots as you said to buy electric vehicles, propping up companies that otherwise would not be able to survive in this economy adding billions of dollars to the irs. voters are not in favor of that and essentially paying the irs to then come after middle-class americans. i could go through what's in this but it is the wrong bill at the worst possible time with america struggling w

joining me today is dagen mcdowell, brooke goldstein, kennedy and david webb. in what led to that aggressive unprecedented action taken by the fbi? we know former president trump seemed to be corporating with the feds regarding his presidential records. his team had already transferred 15 boxes earlier this year but the "wall street journal" reports things started to escalate earlier in the summer. what changed? "newsweek" claims there was someone inside mar-a-lago that told them exactly where they could find more documents. the magazine writing this, the raid in mar-a-lago was based largely from information from an fbi confidential human source, one who was able to identify what classified documents former president trump was still hiding and even the location of those documents, meanwhile, attorney general merrick garland is under growing pressure after the judge who approved the raid is refusing to let the d.o.j. stay silent. he's not giving the department until monday to answer requests to unseal the search warrant. that sounds like a call for transparency.

dagen mcdowell, jump in here as we watch the people coming off of this bus. new york post and watched our coverage of the under the cover of darkness migrant flights that have been coming into airports, say outside of the city in westchester county and other parts of the country, you see the people who are getting off these flights talk to the people who work at these airports and they are young men. they are not women and children. and they are being -- and they've been portrayed by the administration or by people in the federal government as children or minors and it's very clear when you see them, they are not minors. they are young adult men. the new york post is reporting today how these illegal immigrants who have come here are in, say, the bellevue men's shelter and they are being treated better than homeless veterans. there's a quote in the new york post story from a navy veteran from queens saying we have all been here waiting, going through the process and let me tell you, they, meaning the illegal immigrants, are getting everything real quick. they

joining the conversation all morning long this morning is fox business' dagen mcdowell and former stateent senior advisor christian whiton. dagen, your reaction to all of this? i know there's the op-ed this morning that i'm sure you're going to raise on whether or not all of this was actually legal. your thoughts. dagen: you're referencing an op-ed in the wall street journal today about that very thing. but this filing by president trump's lawyers just kind of puts the brakes if you will on the fbi and justice department investigation. the wall street journal does point out in the piece about the lawsuit filed that a special master, usually retired judge would review the evidence to determine whether it's protected, say, by attorney/client privilege. if you listen to andy mccarthy, all of this documentation actually belongs to the federal government as part of the national records act and the journal also notes that the statute cited in the warrant to justify the search do not hinge on whether these materials were classified or not. so that opens the door for the justice department to f

joining the conversation all morning long, fox business's dagen mcdowell, liz peek and michael lee strategy, mike lee. dagen, is this the big d for disaster if you're a democrat? dagen: potentially. if you look back when joe biden took office, at the end of 2020 inflation was running at 1.4%. thats was inflation rate. and the economy was growing at 4 and-a-half percent. and joe biden has done in about a year and-a-half what it took seven or eight years for both lbj and richard nixon and their respective federal reserve chiefs to do to this country and a it's just been such a rapid turnaround that if people vote with their wallets and their pocketbooks and based on their financial situation, this will be a red wave. but there's a lot playing into it including crime but, again, you can blame that on the big city liberals as well. cheryl: plenty of blame to go around in this city, dagen, as we talk about all the time. liz, the poll that the best years are behind us, 58% and then basically looks to me if you look at these numbers that basically that the country is saying that they are unhappy t

fox business dagen mcdowell and the wall street journal assistant editorial page editor james freemaneat to see you this morning, dagen, your reaction to all of this? dagen: i think the john kirby gives himself away and the white house away when the biden administration needs to be a great deal more forceful in word and deed when it comes to china's aggressions. the fact that more than a million americans are dead from covid, a virus unleashed and covered up by the communist party of china, 6 and a half million people around the globe, i digress but biden himself said out loud that the pentagon didn't think it was time for her to visit. well, she visited. good for her and now they need to step up their defense or at least the way that they speak about taiwan and stand up against china's aggression as general keane has pointed out, our war plans include how we would come to taiwan's defense but we don't even send military leaders into taiwan to synchronize how that would take place and military leaders are self-restricting. we don't do training exercises with taiwan. something needs to
