liz: welcome to my world. they are a big tent and we have workers from so many different industries and workplaces and backgrounds and different perspectives that it is a challenge. i won't lie about that. in terms of the issues around policing, it's a great example of how the labor movement can be a center of gravity for having those difficult conversations. i think you are seeing young people in the streets because they are dissatisfied. we would argue policing in this country is broken. but who better to talk about how better reformat than the workers themselves who are seeing what is happening day today and know the ins and outs of the profession. what we did is pull together -- we have 13 unions who represent police and the federation. you have the teamsters as well, so 15 unions at this table with rank-and-file workers, leaders, delving into the issues of how to make this profession work for our communities. most of them would argue the lack of investment, the lack of protection, that we as workers, fron

elizabeth: joining us now fox news contributor liz peek. liz, this feels like a dangerous gamble.y pelosi to double down, outraging moderate democrats. nancy pelosi says now the house will not vote for the senate's infrastructure bill until the senate passes the democrats $3.5 trillion package. what was your reaction when you heard that? >> she has continued to link these two bills, liz, even though moderate democrats in the house have written her a letter, please don't do this, give us a chance to vote on the stand-alone bill. $1.5 trillion partisan infrastructure bill. don't tie it to the 3 1/2 trillion dollar bill because they know in their swing districts moderates are in trouble. voters connect the dots between outrageous spending the democrats want to double down on and inflation. what hurts working people more, than rising cost of living. everyday necessity of prices going up everywhere. they're not stupid. they get this is a big problem, these democrats it is like a suicide pact. i don't know why nancy pelosi is taking this path. it is not risky. it is literally deadly. el

my god, you cannot make this stuff up, liz.ration. what heads are going to roll, not only that, how come biden isn't on tv right now? he should be preempting me telling americans how he failed the country, how he has failed the world, from the g7 to our afghan allies, our poor military men and women who lost their lives last week because of his recklessness. where is biden? all we do is see the back of his head. we don't hear from him. he doesn't take questions. it is really fundamental outrageous, liz. it is just unbelievable. elizabeth: the question will he take questions tomorrow from the press? we hear you. senator sasse will saban donning bagram airbase will be in textbooks to come as one of the stupidest blunders ever. we're coming up against a hard break. deneen borelli thanks for coming on. you will come back soon. we're staying on this story, the pentagon saying they not accommodate hundreds of americans who wanted to leave but couldn't leave. we'll stay on the story with chad wolf, former dhs acting secretary next. st

liz: that's right. we actually saw lumber prices contribute a little bit to this top line sales growth for home depot. we'll likely see that at los. -- at lowe's. given the sharp decline in lumber recently, they said it was more of an impact in the first couple months of the quarter and certainly not in july. now that we have seen lumber prices come back down to earth, we think that, for one, that will not be a contributor to topline growth going forward, but i t also will not be a headwind to gross margin which is something we have seen in the last couple quarters. lumber should hopefully be kind of a nonissue for the next couple quarters. something that has been dis -- that will no be as discussed as heavily. taylor: correct me if i am wrong, in the last three years, you have done some good research on this. there is concern about lowe's falling behind home depot in where the stores were located and the physical layouts of the stores. they went under a huge turnaround. how were you thinking about rela
