>> -- edward lawrence not with us yet we will get back to him, what does this mean for the breakdowne senate and the house, e.j. jump in on that because, of course, we know, that we are talking about a senator who chuck schumer was countsing on for votes, where also looking at, the senate, now in have condolences for diane feinstein e.j. let's get facts from edward lawrence live at the white house. >> we are now, fox news able to confirm senator diane feinstein did pass away, i can tell you yesterday, she voted in the senate once in the morning but missed two afternoon votes yesterday, there were reports this morning overnight medical activity, we talked -- at her house in washington d.c. senator in 1992 in office 31 years in the past recent years, year and a half had failing health a lot of health issues but we confirm that senator diane feinstein passed away, going to open up political problems for the democratic party because as you know they have a slim majority in the senate so going to have to figure out who is next in line, who is going to be pointed by governor gavin newsom t

. >> harris: edward lawrence is live in wayne county, michigan. last hour wee talked about transition to ev's 40% fewer workforce. that doesn't sound kumbaya to me. >> that is what i'm hearing on the lines here. a split message for folks supporting the president and not supporting the president here. this is a tricky situation for the president. he says he is most pro-union president, his policies are incentivizing these jobs out of existence. they feel full effect of inflation, which spiked under president biden. >> inflation went up, gas, groceries, i mean, rent, everything. we need to be able to stay balanced, be able to afford things without living paycheck to paycheck. >> in the statement from the three big automakers, they say this is not about politics when talking about the presidential visit and acknowledge there will likely be record contract when this is all done. the companies say they need to ensure survival, president biden policies pushing for ev's. ford says they will lose 4.5 billion this year trying to make that transition. back

powell never mentioned the oil shock except with your great reporter edward lawrence asked a question about it, listen to one of the goofiest answers you will hear. >> we're seeing oil prices, move up, that is pushing price of gas, how does that factor why your decision to raise rates or not, last two anoninflation reports overall is risen. >> right, so, energy prices are very important for the consumer this can affect consumer spending, it can affect consumer sense am gas prices are one of the big things that affects consumer sentiment it comes down to how sustained the energy prices are, we look at core inflation that excludes food and energy, energy goes up and down right that, don't tell you much about where inflation is going, we're aware if energy prices increase and stay high, they will have an affect on spending and it may have an affect on consumer expectation of inflation that is things we monitor. larry: wow. that is your fed head, key line is doesn't tell you much about where inflation is going, really? no kidding. can we review the past 31 months, 3 years, world oil price

edward lawrence is -- should go. at the white house. it's a delicate balance, isn't it, edward?president also needs florida to switch to democratic if he plans on winning the presidency. that's one of the pasts, is through florida. and you know governor ron desantis very popular there in florida. so the two are going to meet, the president confirmed that about 15 minutes ago, he said he will meet with governor ron desantis when he gets into florida. but florida's in play coming for the election, so there's a lot of attention you're seeing from the president, there's a lot of attention to help those folks with damage like that. ing because that's just incredible, what has happened with the storm surge and the flood that came through there. neil: these things always get politicized, it's the nature of the beast. some of the criticism of the president is that he took his sweet time to maui, he's not wasting a nanosecond going to the florida. obviously, that won't come up between the two men tomorrow when they're walking around all of that, but how is that playing out for the presid

to edward lawrence at the white house at this hour for us where the president is about to depart for the g-20 summit in india, edward. but not before dropping this bomb shell. >> and we won't have a chance to ask him about it either. there's a bad weather call. we won't see the president as he leaves for the g-20 summit. there's no oil being drilled as of yet in that area of alaska. what was happening is seismic testing was about to be scheduled to find the safeest place to drill. that testing has been cancelled. the alaskan industrial development and export authority executive director says the next step will be a lawsuit over the administration cancelling its seven leases. >> you have attorneys on board. we'll be meeting with them and deciding how to go forward with litigation. i would expect we look to conduct discovery regarding the facts and circumstances around this decision that could include asking to take the deposition of the secretary since it was her decision. >> he adds the collective decisions to constrict the oil supply coming from the united states pushes up prices and

kudlow: root causes, thank you edward lawrence fabulous reporting. now i'm told that thousands of illegal migrants are crosses the borders and entering u.s. it is an unmitigated c catastrophe lawlessness on a grand scale. this is human trafficking, sex traffics, drug drug trafficking, mexican drug cartels control the border bidens stand by doy nothing, why? because theirs is an open border policy. a soy called human rights policy. so-called asylum policy. just listen to what democratic congressman greg told hillary vaughn. >> democrats insist that border is closed and secure, what is an open border look like then? >> asylum seekers have a right to seek asylum all overthrow out our history and so, we are working to provide legal, safe and orderly immigration. that is what we're working on unfortunately republicans refuse to fix the system and refused to come up with collusions that allow -- solutions that allow immigrants to migrate in a legal, safe and orderly way and they continue to actually insight these problems by not creating pathways for peopl

conference fed head jay powell never mentioned the oil shock, except when our great reporter edward lawrencesked a question about it. now take a listen, please, to one of the goofiest answers you're ever going to happy on this subject. >> we're seeing oil prices as you mentioned move up and that is pushing the price of gas, so how does that factor into your decision to raise rates or not because the last two inflation reports pce, and cpi we've seen the overall inflation has actually risen? >> right. so be you know energy prices are very important for the consumer. this can affect consumer spending. it certainly can affect consumer sentiment. gas prices are one of the big things that affects consume he sentiment. it comes down how persistent, how sustained these energy prices are. the reason why we look at core inflation which excludes food and energy is that energy goes up and down like that, don't tell you much where inflation is really going, however, we're well aware though that you know, if energy prices are increase and stay high that will have an effect on spending and it may have an

our fox business coverage of the strike continues with edward lawrence at the white house. sean fain in a statement said the union does not agree with president biden when he said earlier that negotiations have broken down. is the left-hand talking to the right, how's the white house viewing this, what's going on? >> we will talk on saturday, that's what the white house is saying, don't know about breaking down, the president spoke for 10 minutes in the roosevelt room. he took no questions about this or anything else but from the moment the president start speaking he came down on the side of all the autoworkers saying the big 3 automakers, the contract should be a record contract and the president says he has been in touch with both sides but so far declines to get actively involved. >> president biden: auto companies have record profits including the last few years because of the extraordinary skill and sacrifice. those record profits have not been shared fairly in my view. >> reporter: with contract partly an issue, to electric vehicles, the company is trying to make a p

edward lawrence is on this reporting live for fox business. edward, you are live in wayne county, michigan. how is it going? >> and in a few hours the president will be somewhere in wayne county, michigan, on a picket line. the first time a sitting president will visit a picket line in modern times. this is about three dozen or so strikers, union strikers from the ford facility. i have seen trucks coming in, blocking the trucks trying to carry parts in and eventually let the truck through. the president will bring a message of support not just for the union but his transition to electric cars. president biden said yesterday the union gave up some pensions to save car companies so the automakers need to repay the favor. >> president biden: i think that now that the industry is roaring back, they should participate in -- take a look at the significant increase in salaries for executives and growth of the industry, they should benefit from it. >> so republicans say the president doesn't care about these union workers because he is regulating away

edward lawrence oturu the white house. do voters see it differently, edward?tem of articulation we saw a major shift in the president not from content but from the message itself. there are just abysmal poll numbers on how the president is handling this economy as the president is trying to convince americans that his policies do work. a major part of his speech yesterday was trying to scare voters about what he says republicans will do. >> our democracy is at risk because i don't think they do think it matters anymore. the country should know the facts and the choice between bidenomics and maganomics. in congress the plan was doubling down and cuts taxes for the wealthy and big corporations. two, cuts social security, medicare and medicaid. three, it raises costs for families gutting investments in the middle class. reporter: republicans say this just simply isn't true adding the tax cuts would reach all verbally said during the state of the union address, they'd not want to cut social security and investment group and partner and treasury official steve pavl

fox business's edward lawrence is joining us live from the white house. what are the next steps? of justice is reviewing the order and options to go forward, evaluating options. the white house led a coordinated effort to suppress what it called misinformation related to covid, specifically over vaccines. the three-judge panel on the court of appeals ry affirmed a lower court ruling saying the white house centers for disease control, fbi, and surgeon general likely violated the first amendment and cannot coerce social media to stop content. and white house spokesperson tells me the administration promoted what they call responsible actions related to health and safety, adding our consistent view remains that social media platforms have a critical responsibility to take account of the effects of their platforms they are having on the american people but make an independent choice about the information they present. so after the lower court ruling in july, the senator, eric schmidt, says the government has 0 business telling us what information we can see. >> the government has 0 b

edward lawrence has the story at the white house. ll, liz, inflation moving in the wrong direction. the latest report out today shows that overall inflation actually increasing .4% month over month and 3.5% year over year with core inflation falling for the first time since may. this is not what the federal reserve wants to see as i asked the chicago fed president about the situation yesterday. is that mission accomplished for that month then, if you see, you know, overall going up but core staying where it is? >> i wouldn't call it mission accomplished because we're still above the target inflation the rate. so inflation still has to come down. but if you take a step back and you look at the last three months, we got on the cpi side core inflation is down to 2.4%. that's come down far faster than anyone predicted. >> reporter: still, the white house ignores the fact that starting this march of last year the federal reserve raised rates 11 of the past 13 meetings to try and fight inflation that spiked under president biden. yet the wh

because, you know, edward lawrence asked and larry kudlow was all over this, fed chair powell told edwardrence, he basically downplayed the rise in oil prices. oil prices affect of ,000 -- 6,000 at least everyday products that u.s. consumers use ever day. >> that's right. i mean, oil is used not only to fuel our cars and to the power our homes, but also goes into so many of the products that we consume everywhere. and even things that fossil fuels are not an input into, the energy that's needed to create those products and services is going to come primarily from fossil fuels. so even if you look at our core number, you're still going to have an enormousfect from the increase in oil prices. and with oil hitting $93 a barrel today, the fed's got a lot of work cut out for them. but that's what happens when at the same time a you've got oil hitting $90-93 a barrel, you've got the biden administration taking back permits for us to do additional oil exploration in anwr. so you're going to leave it entirely to the fed, and the only tool that the fed has is to raise interest rates in order to tr

edward lawrence is with me. what's the president's solution?h, the president of the administration is going to give temporary status to half a million venezuelans into this country and about 5.9 million people encountered at the border since president biden took office and asking for clarification on this question. >> how many people illegally coming into the united states? >> enough for what? >> 5.9 million people encountered illegally. >> i know the numbers but enough for what? >> to stop the flow? >> as i mentioned, this is a problem that's been around for some time, for decades and a broken system. the president has done everything and is going to continue to do what he can without the help of some republicans in congress to deal with this issue. reporter: president biden tried to blame republicans calling them for overhaul of immigration system completely, republicans also responded. listen to this. >> for decades, immigration reform has been a bipartisan in this country and the republicans and predicting cespedes torr spent four years gut

thank you so much, edward lawrence. former chairman and ceo of chrysler who back in 2007 was able to craft a deal within six hours of uaw members calling a strike. bob nardelli is joining us now. that's got to go down in history as one of of the shortest strikes in history, right? >> well, liz, thank you for having me on. you really gave credit to the wrong person. you know, this little bit of a dust-up we had was over the volunteer employee benefit association which at the time, like general motors moved $55 billion of health care liability over to this trust, they put in about $29 billion into it. but this gave the uaw the right to manage their own health care and take charge of it. we were just finishing up the paperwork on that. that really was tom lasorda, my partner, and ron getting finger who was an unbelievable strong force, the president of the uaw. and without him none of the big three would have gotten through the crisis we saw in '07, '8 and '9. liz: that was at a time, back in 2007, that, i mean, let's be h

edward lawrence is in washington with details on that, edward. >> reporter: the department of justicemining the options possibly to go forward with this. this three-alexandria ocasio-cortez of appeals judges reaffirmedded lower court ruling white house, centers for disease control, the fbi, likely violated first amendment rights and also saying they cannot coerce social media platforms to remove content. missouri senator eric schmitt helped bring the case and today says the federal government is prohibited yet again with colluding with social media giants to censor free speech on line. senator schmitt said the governor has no business, zero business, in fact telling americans what they can see online. >> all of this now has been unmasked. you've got agencies across the board that were working directly with and coercing social media giants to censor americans and violate their first amendment rights and that's what this case represents, getting us back to the place where people can speak freely and openly without the threat of government censorship. >> reporter: former cdc director rob

later, essentially whether a she did -- she was queried by another reporter, i think it edward lawrencefox business. she said essentially they blame the republicans in congress because, amongst other things, they haven't passed the laws and also they can't even get a spending bill okayed in the congress, famously now. it's a little embarrassing for the republicans. nonetheless, when you look at what the republicans are suggesting in this continuing resolution, there is money that would actually ramp up border security, build the wall and hire 22,000 more custom and border patrol agents. >> ainsley: how do you blame ultra maga republicans? how do you blame the g.o.p. when the border is open for three years through this administration, 3.8 million people have entered the united states across the border since biden took office. >> steve: what a number. >> ainsley: that's not the got-aways, estimating 1.5 million got-aways over the last three years. when you see images over this over and over and over. ripping out the razor wire and not letting them use those barriers that you talk, about b

karine jean-pierre was just asked by edward lawrence. what's too many? >> larry: there's no limit. 10 million, 15 million. by the way, for what it's worth, a story on the fox digital website, brooks singman, a great reporter, trump is in iowa saying he will engage in the largest deportation ever in american history, and he's citing laws that eisenhower used in the 1950s to deport people. in other words, in terms of the upcoming debate, i'll go back to that fox business is running in simi valley at the reagan library, these candidates must come out and talk about this. what exactly will they do. specifically, what will they do, and there has to be a major deportation aspect to any policy. may not be easy, because it's going to be hard to find a lot of these folks, they are scattered throughout the four winds around the country, but nonetheless, they have to have a policy to contrast with mr. joe biden. very important. >> sandra: this is hillary vaughn from fbn. >> larry: another great reporter. >> sandra: we were told the screen right a second ago, we hav

in unemployment rate there and joining me now from the white house lawn with more details is edward lawrence. edward, break it down for us. >> yeah, kelly, as you said, expectations were beat with this jobs report and the unemployment raise rises and gives president joe biden a talking point and also the fed reserve room to pause if they want to. if you peel back the onion in this jobs report, we find average hourly wages are up 4.3% year over year. the federal reserve chairman said this year that numbers like that. listen. >> same time, inflation continues to fall. it's now around 3%. about one-third of what it was one yearing a. inflation was close to what it was before the pandemic. >> up 6% and food and grocery stores up 20% since january of 2021 and people see this when they buy anything with some market watchers see enough weakness in the report if they remain concerned about the next year. >> it'll show a weakening in the economy of the 2024 presidential psychoand will this economy will be a disaster by next spring or early next fall if it continues and it's not positive for the democ

edward lawrence at a fairfax county school in alexandria virginia with the latest. i'm out of school here in fairfax county virginia, this school district decided not to follow state guidelines which would notify students if their children identify as transgender. it's a string of decisions by this county school board that has parents concerned. officially fairfax county schools does not teach crt but some parents worry about projects being sent home that could polarize kids by gender or race. >> i think this school board eroded the trust of the community because they've stated they are trying to marginalize parental involvement so the trust has been broken and needs to be reestablished. >> other parents worry school boards moved away from basic reading, writing and math as parents get alienated. >> sensitive topics like anything to do with race or religion or gender identity, that's in the home. that's the families job to discuss those topics, not the job of the school to tell the kids. you search in of government power. >> emily harris went after florida last week

first to edward lawrence live at the white house. hi, edward. >> con formation by the u.s.e biden administration coerced social media companies to remove posts. this is an affirmation that the white house, centers for disease control, fbi and surgeon general likely violated the first amendment saying the agencies cannot coerce social media to remove content. this all stems from what the white house calls misinformation related to covid over vaccines, a white house speaks person saying our consistent view remains that social media platforms have a critical responsibility to take account of the effects their platforms are having on the american people, but make independent choices about the information that they present. the appeals courts threw out lower court language saying the government could not contact directly the platform. still the overall ruling saying the administration likely inflinged on the freedom of speech by americans. i asked the press secretary a few weeks ago what contact right now they have with social media companies. she did not directly answer the que

so -- reporter: edward lawrence with fox business. oil prices, we are seeing oil prices moving up and pressure the price of gas how does that pressure your raisingful the rate? mr. powell: energy prices are very important. this can affect consumer spending and consumer sentiment and gas prices affects consumer sentiment and comes down how sustained these energy prices are. the reason why we look at core inflation which excludes food and energy which is energy goes up and down and energy prices mostly don't contain much of a signal of how tight the economy is and where inflation is really going. we are well aware that energy prices stay high, that will have an effect on spending and may have an effect on consumer expectations and inflation. that's things we have to monitor. reporter: on the consumer, they are putting more and more on the credit card and how long do you think a consumer can manage that debt at higher interest rates now and are you concerned about a bubble? mr. powell: that's why we tend to look through energy moves that

first to fox business's edward lawrence who is in wayne, michigan where it's all going down right now. edward? >> yeah, charles, this is where president joe biden came to meet with the picketers. there's not many strikers here at the moment. the president on his way right now to mountainview, california for a campaign event. he brought here a message of support. also he would not say specifically if he's supported the four-day work week or 40% more pay. >> you guys saved the automobile industry. made a lot of sacrifices, gave up a lot. the companies were in trouble. now they're doing incredibly well. guess what? you should be doing incredibly well, too. >> well, the uaw was not -- has not at the moment endorsed president joe biden. those on the picket lines had a message for the president about his force transitioned to electric vehicles. >> talk all day about researching all of that. but to see us here, see what we do and see that we mean -- we stand behind these companies. we have been the backbone of these companies for so long trying to push us out to these electric vehicles, that

she did say to edward lawrence, blame the republicans because they can't get the spending bill passed. people down at the southern border because they are republicans. when you look at republicans, one of them increases border security. it ramps it up, builds a wall, hires 22,000 more custom and border patrol agents, of course she didn't mention that yesterday. >> ainsley: here they are, everyone at home, blaming the republicans, everything is maga republicans, the maga republicans did this. they have the border open, it's their fault. they are not passing this in congress. no, been three years since president biden has taken office. 3.8 million crossed the border since he's been in office, doesn't account for the gotaways. this is his problem. they are not addressing it. kamala harris never goes down there. she is supposed to be the border czar. where are they? they try to take the razor wire out and buoys out of the water and trying to take away the wall and big shipping containers they put up on the wall, moved them in place and they said that was unlawful, move those out, then the

first to edward lawrence at the white house with more on this growing feud. edward? >> yeah, moves are being made that are going against texas. you heard the judge order the removal of the buoys in the rio grande. an appeals court has paused that for now. the biden administration now according to the l.a. times is working on a plan to remain in texas. that plan would keep migrants illegally crossing the border in close to the towns where they crossed until their court date. that plan would pull in other states like new mexico and battleground state arizona. the reports says this is because of a cry from blue states. republicans say stop them at the border and letting them flood in. >> we don't have the resources. we're asking to put out more money and more taxes. mayor adams doesn't have a solution. they don't want remain in next co. they don't want to build the wall. they want to blame everybody and take more money and just make us pay for more. degrees what that brings you? the more money you put in, the more you get. >> new york city major adams blaming governor a

i was very disappointed at the fed's meeting because i don't think except for our reporter edward lawrencebout inflation, oil, energy, which could be a more serious problem than anybody realizes and if that's true, that's target going higher and lots of interest rates are going higher and stocks going lower tomorrow. and the strategic petroleum and it's masking for a very long time and biden policies and buying votes. they're buying down. they're still 3, 400 million left and the peak was over 700 million and 357 million barrels left. think that was a key point? >> i certainly do. absolutely. again, now what we're seeing is in place of strategic reserve being drained down, private reserves are coming down making up for the fact we're run ago deficit in terms of oil production. lyrics david, we're getting screwed by they're not our friends, opec+ and russia, saudis, iran, venezuela, and we're not prepared for it because we're not producing near capacity and not even remotely near capacity. >> i don't have a sin l good thing to say about opec+ or saudis but they're not screwing us and we hav

. >> edward lawrence with foxbusiness. i want to focus again on oil prices. as you mentioned, they will move up, pushing the price of gas, how does that factor nto your decision to raise rates or not, the last two inflation reports, overall inflation has actually risen. >> right. energy prices are very important for the consumer. this can affect consumer spending and gas prices are one of the big things that affects consumer sentiment. this really comes down to how persistent, and sustained these energy prices are. the reason we look at core inflation which excludes food and energy, energy goes up and down. energy prices mostly do not contain a signal about how tight the economy is. they do not tell you where inflation is really going. if energy prices increase and stay high, that will have an effect on spending. that will have an effect on consumer expectations and things like that. and things we have to monitor. >> they are putting more and more of this on the credit cards. record credit spending. how long can the consumer manage that debt at higher interes

concerned about rising prices and a row we number think the administration is making inflation worse, edward lawrencee, the details. >> now we have the uaw striking signs that inflation is on the rise again along with gas prices, the price of a regular gallon of gas in this country more than a month ago is also 21 cents more than a year ago the cost as i get closer to $4 a gallon puts more pressure on inflation so registered voters blame president biden who reversed policies from the last administration, you see a 13-point jump in those say the biden policies are making inflation worse is from last april, republicans say the president pushing more government spending and budget talks does not help any of this. >> no one comes out until there is white smoke, that is a level of commitment that we need from house republicans it may not be everything but i guarantee it's a whole lot better the nancy pelosi past budget or joe biden budget we have to get real solution today for. >> in public, not in 2025 people are struggling today not only with the border crisis but inflation. >> on the uaw the chamber of
