troops have departed go to the white house and edward lawrence. what message and what tone is the president expected to deliver any minute. >> that's exactly what were wondering ourselves it will probably be a tone of victory that ended the 20 year war in afghanistan. stunning pictures coming out of afghanistan right now of taliban warriors wearing full u.s. military gear, they're using humvees in body armor and night vision goggles carrying u.s. rifles and posing for pictures and video of the taliban practicing flight a black hawk helicopter at the airport they seem to be more equipped that the u.s. left this equipment behind then they were 20 years ago when the u.s. wanted to get isis in the first place, the state department spokesperson defended the u.s. leaving this equipment behind. listen. >> the kinds of equipment we are talking about certainly there's lithology, it doesn't pose a threat to the united states and it doesn't pose a threat to neighboring nations, these are not the kinds of things that the taliban and make strategic use out of.

edward lawrence is live at the white house this morning with this morning's fallout. mately bears the responsibility. what he said in the next sentence was that he was boxed by a deal that former president trump made with the taliban. this president has undone a lot of what president donald trump had put in place but he's sticking to this deal so president biden giving this stern warning to those terrorists. listen. >> we will not be deterred by terrorists. we will not let them stop our mission. we will continue the evacuation. i'll also my order my commander to develop plans to strike isis-k assets and facilities. we will respond in our time, the place we choose, the moment of our choosing. >> reporter: president biden acknowledged a few americans and afghany allies will be left behind when the military leaves on august 31st. he promised there would be opportunities to get those people out in the future. he added he does not trust the taliban but since it's in their interest to have americans leave he will rely on them for security and the evacuation. he also says the

edward lawrence at the white house with more. edward.orter: liz the president late this evening, late this afternoon backing up while he will not move that august 31st deadline to remove all american troops out of afghanistan. so right now the military is evacuating americans as well as those who have helped the u.s. allies over the past 12 years. now leaders of the united kingdom, france, germany, all publicly asked the president to move that deadline because of operations they have going on. president biden standing firm, linking himself though with the rest of the g7, even though they questioned the deadline. listen. >> we agreed the legitimacy of any future government depends on the approach it now takes to uphold international obligations including to prevent afghanistan from being used as a base for terrorism and we agreed none of us are going to take the taliban's word for it. we'll judge them by their actions. reporter: still in a statement the white house state department and pentagon have been asked for contingency plans just i

edward lawrence, what's the beef with him?imately be the president who will renominate him or pick somebody else. now in a a statement, five progressive members of congress have released a statement saying they would like to replace fed chairman jay powell. among those on the list, alexandria ocasio-cortez. now, they acknowledge that powell has done positive work in getting the country back to full employment as well as positive moves changing the framework of an average of 2% inflation. but the statement reads this: under his leadership, the federal reserve has taken very little action to mitigate the risk climate change poses to our financial system, adding we need a leader at the helm that will take bold and decisive action to eliminate climate risk. now, the federal reserve chairman has talked about the need for financial firms to understand the risks of climate change. the fed has stopped short of any mandate related to climate change. so the white house official tells me the president will appoint the candidate who he th

now to edward lawrence on all that. he also following what the cdc is doing to limit evictions, push them back, in light of these spikes in cases that we've been seeing in our country, some of these other developments. edward, is at the white house. hey, edward. reporter: the cdc issued a new temporary ban that will extend through october 3rd. this only affects areas with substantial or high rates of infection which is most of the country. now republicans are balking at this move. because the cdc has already been shot down by the supreme court saying that the agency overstepped its authority with the original ban extension. senator john kennedy says it does not want anyone to lose their homes but the economy is recovering. >> time to rejoin our lives and we can't give free rent to everybody. if you want free rent there is nothing free. everything free somebody had to work for. reporter: now progressives in the party putting more pressure on the white house. just two days ago the press secretary here saying the cdc could

charles: edward lawrence thank you very much we want to bring in california congressman darrell issae felt emptiness and hollowness with the way that this all went down last night i know american's have been left behind, i want your personal feelings of how this entire retreat from afghanistan has gone. >> having represented the marines for 20 years i still have constituents that i talked early this monday my time who are stuck there that's on my mind, was also on my mind having been a soldier for 1970 and 1980 and live through 1975 the corollary is not just people pulling out in a panic from an embassy the corollary when we lost vietnam it set us back in the war against dictatorship of the soviet union and china and it set us back in the cold war and it emboldened our enemies for a generation, we continue to be in a war against islamic extremism we have been since 1979 with iran that is going to continue and that's what's on my mind protector marines by doing the right thing, protector civilians and get them out but recognize we are going the wrong way and stopping islamic extremism

and inflation so edward lawrence is live at the white house, what you have. >> the president was on vacatione was disrupted, his vacation and now he's working from camp david is what the white house is saving giving briefings about what is going on in afghanistan. he talked about inflation, that top the list on the pole of concerns for registered voters in the u.s., 86% of registered voters are very or extremely concerned about inflation, violent crime is on the list with 81% worried, it's more than the 71% worried about unemployment. these numbers might be why the white house over month over month numbers. a senior white house official told me their current year-over-year numbers because if you take out energy and food cost like gas prices the month over the month inflation numbers have started to edge down. but most people see what they have been paying more over the past year from last year to this year paid more for everything, including gas prices. oil company workers as well as executives say it doesn't have to be that way. >> it is supply and demand u.s. oil and gas producers have lot

jackie: edward lawrence, thank you so much for that.es" media chairman. good evening to you. what's talk about what's happening in washington right now because this is really interesting. you see as inflation starts to rear its ugly head and americans are feeling the pinch, if you will. the spending all of a sudden doesn't seem to be so popular. >> well, that's right. and the money ultimately comes from the people one way or the other. inflation is a hidden tax which is not so hidden when you pay it at the counter or at the pump. and so some democrats are very queasy. they know they're coming up for re-election in 2022. but don't underestimate, jackie, the left. they're going to put severe pressure on these moderates to let this stuff go through. nancy pelosi knows if she lets the infrastructure bill go through without that reconciliation of 3.5 but really $6 or 7 trillion and numerous new entitlements or which are going to hurt this economy, she knows it won't pass. so she's not going to let the lollly pop go first until they get the r

edward lawrence is at the white house with more. hi, edward.as the president is now just arrived here at the white house. they are going to be talking about what other restrictions might need to be in place to handle this delta variant. now the president has said that in all probability, there will be more restrictions. dr. fauci says what we're going to see it will be worse, even the former white house coronavirus testing czar under the trump adminitration says that remasking might be an important step. >> i do believe masking is an important component when you're indoors, in high-crowded situations in areas where there's high spread. that's something we can do. it won't prevent all the deaths but it'll prevent several tens of thousands. reporter: the u.s. is averaging 72000 new cases every day. that is a 44% increase from last week, and the highest numbers since february. the current white house pushing vaccinations as a way to cut down on the spread. the chief of staff says the past seven days has been the best week since early june for the

edward lawrence has more from the white house. will he address, afghanistan, edward, do we know? reporter: if he takes questions he will get questions on it. right now the conversation is supposed to be about just coronavirus, just the pfizer vaccine approval by the fda as a full vaccine. sew the president doesn't want to talk about this. the briefing though there will be jake sullivan national security advisor will be there to answer questions about afghanistan. they don't want the president as the face on this one it would seem. president joe biden resolute in the fact that he made the right decision with this withdrawal from afghanistan. it has been complicated by the miscalculation of the speed at which the taliban has taken over the country. so here is vice president kamala harris this morning while in singapore about all of this. listen. >> there is no question there will be activity, roll up analysis of what has happened but right now there is no question that our focus has to be on evacuating american citizens, afghans who worked with us and vulnerable afghans. reporter:

edward lawrence is in washington and, edward, you have a copy of his remarks, so what's he going to say until substantial further progress has been made. i want to read this quote from his speech. my view is that substantial further progress test has been met for inflation. so he continues that there will be clear progress towards maximum employment. now, he a says the federal reserve mostly agrees that asset tapering should start this year. there still is that hedge though, he says the federal reserve chairman says they'll be watching data closely related to the delta variant surge as they come up with the exact time frame for ending the buying of $120 billion a month in treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. powell quick to say that the reduction in asset purchases is not connected to any interest rate hikes, limiting that he wants to keep that rate near zero as they taper. now, he says that they will hold the rate until the economy reaches conditions for maximum employment and inflation that moderately exceeds 2% for some time, adding that there's much ground to cover for maximum

edward lawrence with more from the white house. edward? >> reporter: hey, neil. you talked about it, a huge number there. and, in fact, if you do a little math, it shows the economy has added back 832,000 on average over the past three months. the unemployment rate ticking down to a post-pandemic low of a 5.4%, but there is some weakness in this report specifically when you talk about inflation. if you look at these average hourly wages numbers, they increased 4% over the past 12 months, but cpi inflation is up 5.4% year-over-year. that means inflation is rising faster than wages, so stuff we all buy seems more expensive. the labor secretary's brushing off saying we need to spend even more on stuff like his administration's proposed spending plans to keep the job growth going. >> i think that it'll be the first time in almost a century that we're making a major investment in the american people in this country and our economy and creating opportunities in certain job sectors as well as infrastructure. so i think that's well overdue. if we had kept up on it over t

neil: edward lawrence, thank you very much for that. to senator ben cardin, maryland democrat.enator, great to see you again. is this thing looking dicey in the house? >> well, neil, first of all, it's good to be with you. this has always been a challenge. both bills are important. the senate passed both bills, i hope the house will do the same as the president has said. so this is going to be a challenge, we know that. when you're dealing with a 50-50 split in the united states senate, there's not too much room for error. i was very proud we passed the bipartisan bill with a large bipartisan vote. neil: does it worry you, senator, wherever you are on this whole measure, the spike in inflation? some attribute a chuck of that to all this spending -- a chunk of that. i think that's a bit premature. i think we were coming off, essentially, an economy in park a year ago, so any activity is going to lead to a spike in prices. having said that though, that this spending push is potentially going to accelerate that? does that concern you? >> well, i've been very impressed on how our e

liz: thank you edward lawrence and of those who have been evacuated, the white house is saying that the or so are americans who have been .evacuated. this was t due a brother who sisters not trapped in afghanistan and she's the mother of two children. >> the president should know that the american citizens are c hiding. and nobody, and same as my sister and these american citizens, american allies, they are soon going to be by the taliban regime or because there beyond. [inaudible]. will be dying out of hunger and thirst because they cannot get out of the house to get food and there are thousands ofds them. liz: joining us now, iowa senator joni ernst, your reaction to that soundbite rated. >> yes and thank you liz, and that is heartbreaking. as someone is served overseas during the global war on terror, we know how important it is to get these americans home and safe because these terrorists will stop at nothing rated with this transit american so again, it is heart breaking to hear these stories and have been, the white house secretary argued that americans are not stranded, we know t

edward lawrence live for us at the white house. >> martha, what this means for oklahoma is they're goinghere they're forced to reinstate the extra benefits from the federal government. in oklahoma, there's a preliminary injunction that will add back to $300 a week as well as reinstate benefits for self-employed and extending the workers beyond the 26-week cut off. it will remain this way until the judge makes a final decision or the extra benefits are scheduled to end, if they end. here's jen psaki on this. listen. it's planning to end. it's supposed to end in september. so he hasn't made a decision to extend it or a decision not to. >> the president is not made a decision yet to ex -- extend the benefits yet. texas, arkansas, florida and ohio on this list are facing lawsuits over this. in oklahoma, the unemployment rate is 3.7%. well below the national average. in fact, the department of labor shows that 18 of those 23 states that have announced the end to these extra plus-ups are well be lo the national average. wyoming, number 19 is tied. 5.4%. back to you. >> martha: pretty compellin

fed president esther george sent him an early message in an interview today with fox business' edward lawrence. >> i think as we look at the outlook for the economy, there has been good progress on the labor market front, certainly the inflation numbers are coming in strong, would suggest that there's an opportunity to begin to dial back on asset purchases. liz: what if esther george stephanopolos right and she maybe nudges jay powell to make some type of statement about tapering? is the market ready or will it throw a taper tantrum tomorrow and what can we expect to hear from jerome powell let's bring in our floor show traders,ism f ed income scott kimball and sarge guilfoyl e. i want to start with you, because obviously we have this horrific situation developing in afghanistan at the moment, you of course served this country, we can't thank you and your brothers enough for all they have done but tell me what you saw on your trading screens, at about 9:48 and how long does something like this work within investor's minds? >> it'll stay in investors minds as long as the situation persists, so

is to edward lawrence live from the white house. we've got a bunch of questions. number one, will the eo have any teeth, and will the government invest alongside the auto companies who are saying that they need the money to get to these goals? >> reporter: the executive order's nonbinding, so it won't have a lot of teeth, but you're going to have the epa come in behind it and offer some of these recommendations to set up some of these standards. as you mentioned, the big three automakers are going to be here, also leaders from the united autoworkers union is going to be here. but the elephant in the room, as you talked about it, tesla was not invited. the company in some ways pioneered the mass producing of electric cars, and the founder, elon musk, has been tweeting about this. quote, yes, seems odd tesla was notten invited. so when -- not invited. when the white house press secretary was asked about this, she kind of deflected. >> we, of course, welcome the efforts of all automakers who recognize the potential of an electric vehicle future and support efforts th

let's head to the white house where edward lawrence has sort of the next steps for this massive spending bill, which does not have the support of republicans. reporter: yeah, it's going to be a rocky road, liz, for sure, as much as the support was there for that bipartisan infrastructure bill, not so much for the next round of spending the democrats want to do. in fact, the group that represents some of the largest companies in america says this. "business round table is deeply concerned about potential tax increases on u.s. job creators that the would counteract the benefits of the infrastructure investment. america needs prudent economic policies that boost, not undermine the recovery, new job creation and long term u.s. economic growth." now that next package, the reconciliation package is more spending so i asked white house press secretary jen psaki at what level of debt would the president be concerned and that's because in the framework for that reconciliation, it says this. there's $30.7 trillion will be the deficit for the next fiscal year, 45.1 trillion will be the deficit or w

edward lawrence at white house, first of all, edward, i didn't know the cdc had that authority, secondly temporary ban that is a targeted ban on this. landlords are left holding the bag a little bit longer. at least some landlords. the president is banking on the backlog in the court system. basically constitutional scholars, most are telling him it will not stand up in court. still the administration did it anyway. >> there are a few scholars who say it will and others say it is not likely to but at a minimum, by the time it gets litigated, it will probably give some additional time while we're getting that $45 billion out to people who are in fact behind in the rent and don't have the money. reporter: so the thinking at the white house by the time the courts get to it we'll be in the fall, it won't matter anyway. that is because the extra unemployment benefits will end and some people might be more likely to go back to get a job. it is estimated renters owe landlords in the u.s. $21.3 billion in back rent. of the last stimulus package only 6% of money is heading out the door. the white

edward lawrence is at the white house with the list. inflation tops the list, is that right?egistered voters in this fox news poll were worried with about. 86% of the people responded that that was either extremely concerned or very concerned about inflation. that is more than violent crime, that is more than unemployment. now, we all see this also at pump. now, according to aaa the average gallon of regular unleaded in the u.s. has risen to $3.19 a gallon, that's today. it's closer to the record price of $4.11 a gallon than it is to the price we paid a year ago. senior white house officials tell me they believe inflation will settle down, they just can't tell me exactly when that will happen. the president of purdue university, mitch daniels, former governor of indiana, former director of omb, says this administration is in denial. >> i hope that the white house in their denial of the possibility of this serious problem, i hope they're right because inflation is a regressive tax. it's a very unfair to savers and very dangerous to the future economy. >> reporter: now, in resp

. >> fox business edward lawrence kicks us off from the white house. >> we have seen it at the store it's getting uncomfortable. a fox news poll shows 70% of voters say the increase in grocery prices caused a hard ship to their family. it's one thing to say gas prices have risen. it's another thing to see it. look at that. president biden reversed all of the energy policies from the previous administration. so now he is saying his administration is asking opec to drill more hoile. -- oil. he will visiting the gas marketplaces. >> we have seen the price oil companies pay again to fall but the cost of gas for the american people hasn't fallen. that's not what you expect. i want to make sure nothing stands in the way of oil price declines leading to lower prices for consumers. >> and a house republican said the president is playing politics and the american people are paying for it. >> [muffled audio]. [inaudible]. they are playing politics and paying back people who helped them get into office. >> now for all of us we are paying more for things we buy. for how long? that depends on who

edward lawrence at the white house with more on that. hey, edward. >> reporter: yeah.resident has currently on his public schedule, this meeting about cybersecurity. huge tech companies are here. the head of apple, you mentioned, tim cook, as well as sun darpa chai from alphabet, buttal some other industry -- but also other industry titans, jpmorgan, duke energy, they're all talking about cybersecurity and how the u.s. can partner with companies to protect critical infrastructure. a senior administration official says the president is making this a call to action. so that's at home. now, in afghanistan there are fears about the growing technology the taliban has access to, a grass roots human rights group called human rights first says the taliban is likely to have access to government technology, much of it from the u.s. and other equipment left behind by the u.s. that includes databases and scanners with facial recognition and fingerprint and iris scan data on it. on allies to the u.s. as well as human rights workers. >> there are sporadic reports of taliban going do

but i know a smart guy who can, and that would be our edward lawrence.e had a chance to talk to a number of fed district presidents and the like. they are in that camp that wants to get the tapering thing going, the sooner the better, but they don't seem to be in a rush on rate hikes, and that does seem to be the signal jerome powell has given. explain where we stand on this. >> reporter: yeah. and the market seems to like, what you were talking about, it seems to like what the fed chairman had to say. inflation is going to be the key here. the chairman making official what we've been hearing from from a number of fed district presidents, that they believe the substantial further progress has been made on inflation. that's opening the door for reducing the assets for purchases by the federal reserve this year possibly. powell hedging on that a little bit saying that they will watch the data related to the delta variant and how that impacts the economy. he also gave no good time frame as to how long the tapering will take. kansas city fed president esther

first to edward lawrence at the white house. what is happening on that front, that could send those arrows, those price arrows up even more. sir? reporter: neil, some economists are seeing red flag, the administration tells me they see progress. a senior administration official is zeroed in on the month over month numbers, ignoring the year-over-year numbers. if you look at the month over month numbers the official tells me they see categorieses of inflation rolling off and decrease in rolling categories. they believe that will continue. look what consumers are seeing though. used car and truck prices up 41.7% from a year ago. hotel and motel costs up 24.1 projuly of 2020. food prices up 5.4% year-over-year. major appliances up 5% year-over-year. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell warning democrats pushing these numbers with more and more government spending. >> our colleagues pushed ahead a massive springtime spending package that even experts would say would drive inflation. families are getting hit by higher prices from g

edward lawrence is with us. edward, can you explain this? , intelligence embedded in hardware?anners as well as fingerprint scanners. as the military folded in afghanistan the tribal leaders started handing over u.s. equipment in exchange for their lives we heard from military analysts. u.s. contractors and u.s. military denied access started destroying some access points on critical technology. drones, for example, were grounded. some of the equipment is now in the hands of the taliban. they contain critical data according to representative jim banks. listen. >> but it is not just weapons. they have night vision goggles, body armor, and, unbelievably, the taliban now has biometric devices which have the fingerprints, eye scans and biographical information of all of the afghans who helped us and were on our side over the last 0 years. reporter: human rights first, grassroots group, they are actually hearing anecdotal evidence from the ground there that taliban is going door-to-door with some sort of scanner checking people. now the group says taliban likely has access to vast s

edward lawrence following all these developments in the a the white house particularly that 3 1/2 trillion dollar plan. looks to me like democrat-only undertaking and looks to be votes short but it is early. what are you hearing? reporter: where the white house will turn next the 3 1/2 trillion dollar bill. that is the price tag that the democrats put on the bill. the center for responsible federal budget says the price tag could be higher than that in many cases politicians will have savings to pay for something, those savings never actually materialize. therefore that bill could cost a little bit more. there is a lot of open-ended spending in the bill. the bill says our public debt will go to $30.7 trillion in the next fiscal year from 28.6 trillion right now. you heard senator john thune say but in fiscal year 2031, the debt will be $45.1 trillion. the president of the committee for responsible federal budgets, maya maginnis says this could mortgage our children's future. >> that could increase the interest payments we owe on the very large national debt, $3 trillion over a decade or $3
