let's bring in marc thiessen and and olivia beavers. marc, was watching the president. him. the white house we should note did give a statement today about what happened in highland park, illinois north of chicago. the president said you know what happened today. he never touched on it. you think he missed an opportunity? if you wrote that speech, would it have been different? >> i have two minds on it. he did miss an opportunity. he spent more time criticizing the supreme court than he did comfortabling the victims of today's shooting. one of his jobs is to be the comforter in chief. so the fact that he barely referenced it and didn't talk about any specifics of what happened is disappointing. the other hand, his instinct is to politicize these things. so maybe it's better he didn't say more. the problem he has is his normal attack is how horrible it is that congress won't do anything. congress did just come together and do something. they passed the first gun safety bill, bipartisan gun safety bill with a bipartisan vote. so his normal line of attack he can't use. his

marc thiessen, fox news contributor, former white house speech writer, "washington post" columnist. the folks i grew up with, marc, good morning. don't have to call it anything. but if you ask them about the economy and the white house handling of it, they will just give you a really nice hand gesture that i can't make on national television. >> i don't like them disparaging ethel and fred. i loved them. look, the fact is in the last 10 times that we've had since the 1950s when we've had two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth each and every time it has been officially declared a recession. brian deese, now the head of the national economic council who claims that the technical definition of a recession isn't two quarters of negative economic growth economists in 2008 said it but now he is saying the opposite. for most americans, they don't care about technical definitions. think care about they need to choose between gas and food and can't make ends meet. the number the biden administration needs to focus on in the "new york times" poll, 77% of americans think the count

marc thiessen, former speechwriter for george w. bush and an american enterprise institute scholar.hill columnist and former democratic chair, pat grace here to be with us. thanks for being here. >> great to be with you. >> shannon: we want to talk about a couple of the cnn numbers, this poll talks about how democrats are losing their excitement about president biden as well with mid-term election approaching, the poll finds no indication that biden's standing with the public is improving and among critical constituents, it's worsening. among democrats, his approval numbers have softened 13 points since the spring. mark, not a good outlook nor the white house going into the mid-terms. >> not at all. the only good news, 38% approval is better than the 33% in "the new york times" sienna poll last week. that is still bad. the problem is the approval is not just with people in general but with democrats. his approval among democrats is among 71% in the spring and now dropped 13 points. 71% is really bad for a president with his own party. you've had other polling that came out that show

marc thiessen has analysis. let's begin with alexandria hoff at the white house. >> no events on the calendar for the president today. no chance for him to dampen the tone for the american people who are concerned about prices. new fox news polling shows that 75% of americans have been impacted by way of financial hardship because of inflation. yesterday bernstein called the rate unacceptably high but added this. >> half of that increase is energy prices alone. since then, the price of gas has come down 50 cents a gallon. now 20,000 gas stations across this country where gas is below $4 a gallon. still too high but it is moving in the right direction giving americans breathing room. >> saudi arabia won't be lending a production hand despite the president's hope and visit. the king announced they can't increase output. in what j.p. morgan analysts called the most extreme scenario involving gas prices sanctions retaliation from russia. oil prices could jump to a stratospheric $380 a barrel. if that were to play ou

we'll ask katie pavlich and marc thiessen live coming up. >> john: fox news alert, president biden landing in the middle east as inflation hits a new 40-year high with no end in sight. i'm john roberts in washington. sandra, double duty today. >> sandra: great to be with you, john. brand-new numbers from the government showing red hot inflation has not cooled. consumer price index surging to 9.1% in june. marking the biggest one-year increase since 1981. the president issuing a statement in response to all of it saying "today's data does not reflect the full impact of nearly 30 days of decreases in gas prices and other commodities like wheat have fallen sharply since that report." >> john: americans are not feeling any relief, as the labor department shows, paying more for gas and cleaning products compared to last year. we begin with fox team coverage. lydia hu live in new york city with more on the inflation impact on food prices and jacqui heinrich from jerusalem where she is travelling with the president. jacqui, good evening to you. >> jacqui: good evening to you, john. israel leg is

marc thiessen in washington >> dana: can i add to something marc just said you have a staff secretary, brett cavanaugh was that in the bush administration and they check every word. if you got one thing wrong the media was all over it. that was the only fact check we have seen about this from the "washington post". >> bill: when the president says it it lives on. >> dana: it went around the world and a correction would not. more ton's put out a statement about the harassment at the restaurant saying honorable supreme court justice kavanaugh and other patrons were harassed by unruly protestors. it shouldn't trample the freedom of play to eat dinner. there is a time and place to everything. disturbing the act of eating of all of our customers. >> bill: you don't hear that all the time. credit to mortons for putting that out there. >> dana: if they didn't do it they would be facing more of it. there is that. we have this. fox news reporting has found a federal agency spent $15 million in covid relief money on so-called anti-racist and social activism program in schools. hillary vaughn on

"the washington post" columnist marc thiessen, katie pavlich news editor at town hall.com and juan williamstruck by the speech he gave as he was leaving in which he said the political herd sometimes runs. and it ran this time. >> it did run he also said that no individuals in politics is essential and that's also true as well. my first thought when watching him give that speech was boy is joe biden lucky we don't have a parliamentary system here where the party can vote him out of power because i don't think he would survive a no confidence vote in his party right now. i think the latest harvard hafers poll only 71% of americans don't want him to run again and only 30% of democrats would vote for him in a primary so he would be as dead as boris johnson if we had that system. but, you know, as i think this was mostly about scandals, less about policy. but, to the extent that the united states has a role in this, he came in on a campaign -- to deliver on brexit. and the united states both the trump administration and then the biden administration absolutely failed in seriously negotiating a f

i want to bring in marc thiessen and to finish that thought, marc, maybe oil is not the checked box foreign accomplishment. your top line thoughts as the president. we'll probably see him within seconds. >> it is like the 1970s all over again. we have record inflation, skyrocketing gas prices and a weak american president going to beg saudi arabia and opec to produce more oil. and apparently getting rebuffed on that. but the difference between jimmy carter and joe biden is that when jimmy carter was president america -- he didn't inherit an american that was an energy super power. joe biden inherited from trump that was an energy super power. when jimmy carter was president we were the largest importer. under donald trump we surpassed everyone as the largest exporter of oil in the world. biden has come into office with a climate agenda designed to drive down domestic production and then he is going to saudi arabia and asking them to increase production. i mean, saudi oil and american oil produces the same carbon but apparently he doesn't want to produce it at home. he wants the saudis to pr

>> rich: let's bring in marc thiessen, kimberley strassel is a member of the editorial board at "the some of the video we've been seeing coming out of this. if the president caught a lot of heat from the fiance of jamal khashoggi from democrats and many others just for even meeting with the crown prince and all this fist bumping. to the president get enough out of this meeting given the political cost? >> first of all the fist bump is even more intimate than a handshake. hey, bro, how are you doing? he should have behave like a normal president and show cans with him and not made such a big deal about whether he was shaking hands or not. second of all of you were going to try to make saudi arabia a pariah that is inconsistent with a policy of waging a war on fossil fuels here at home. the whole point of becoming energy independent under trump's we were less dependent on middle eastern oil, that we were less dependent on democratic regimes in the middle east. and now we have the spectacle of joe biden going to saudi arabia law jimmy carter in the 1970s with skyrocketing gas prices beg

"washington post" columnist marc thiessen.all of you, happy dependence day weekend. all right, howie, so the select committee has subpoenaed former white house counsel. wh are your thoughts on what we heard this week from the white house aide, the former white house aide, ms. hutchinson, and what's the impact? >> cassidy hutchinson testified under oath about what she'd en told and soffer x collies i think should be -- some of her ex-colleagues should testify. here's how we know her testimony broke through. dona trump is calling her a wacko and a leaker, and a liar. some conservative commentators have been dismissing the whole committee as a clown show, attacking her great ability and defending the former president but this is split on the right. nick mulvaney, former acting white house chief of staff saying he believes hutchinson. but finally new reporting now about whether or not -- we know based on this reporting that trumped groups pay for her previous lawyer, which is interesting, but also that she says she got a phone her

marc thiessen, thank you for joining us. >> bill: the list is long, and running out of ink here and you, right. you have coming up on the midterm, four and a half months and the results may dictate the last point marc is saying. will policies be different -- >> sandra: you wonder if they are seeing the polls. >> bill: i'm sure they are. that's why you go to cleveland, ohio and talk about the economy and sell it as best you can. see how the arguments goes. >> sandra: stunning new warning about china and why no place on earth or space may be safe from the chinese communist party's reach, not even the moon. >> bill: oh, let's go to the moon, smitty. according to the u.n., the u.s. southern border is the deadliest in the world. a congressman trying to take the state into their own hands and can they do it legally, next. edy and home. there's a powerful va benefit that veterans have earned, but many don't even know about. it's the va home loan benefit. as a veteran, you're eligible to apply for a refinance loan for up to 100% of your home's value. not just 80% like other loans. the newday 10

marc thiessen, tammy bruce, kat timpf. "the faulkner focus" top of the hour. >> sandra: thank you.oung children and their 18-year-old sister from a house fire. he was driving home when he saw the house engulfed in flames when he pulled into the driveway and rushed inside. police body cam footage captured the moment he emerged carrying a 6-year-old child from the flames. >> is that baby okay? please tell me the baby is okay. >> we're good. >> you did good, dude. >> sandra: all five family members walked away uninjured. the cause of the fire is under investigation but a real life hero. >> bill: glad they answered the door. before we get out of here, this story gets more curious, a missing mother last seen leaving her home in texas more than a week ago rushing to work. she never showed up, however. she called and said she would be late and now more questions than answers as police say there are no suspects, there is not a single person of interest because there has been no crime. casey stiegel tries to tie this together today in texas. casey, good morning. >> good morning. this missin

>> bill: i was thinking yesterday we had marc thiessen and going through the list of items that he thoughte not going right, the border, the economy, ukraine, china, just the ones he picked off in a way that they phrase the question we ask what is going right, it's hard to answer that right now. >> sandra: you go to the monmouth poll we had earlier this week and of the top five biggest concerns for american voters right now, abortion file number five, just 5% of the concern of the american voters, the top four items were all economic related, inflation, gas prices, kitchen table issues. >> bill: and the wrong track number was extraordinary, it's a to run politics in. transportation secretary pete buttigieg going to try and change the conversation a little bit, sandra, he flew to l.a. today, expected to announce plans awarding the billion dollars in funding for terminal uptake to 85 u.s. airports including lax, that money will come from the build back better infrastructure bill that comes as u.s. travelers face unprecedented destruction due to airline staff shortages and other issues, defin

of and that's a big problem for him according to marc thiessen who was on america reports.ard to have confidence in the presidency when you have the worst inflation in four decades. the worst crime wave since the 1990s. the worst border crisis in history. progressives are saying to biden the solution is you have got to talk more about abortion. you have got to talk more about guns and climate. that monmouth poll, 5% of americans say abortion is their most important issue. and i bet you half of them are pro-life, right? you got 3% who say guns are their most important issues. a bunch of them are pro-second amendment. you have 1% who say climate is the most important thing. if you add up all the people who say inflation, the economy, paying my bills, gas prices, it's 63%. so, you know, this just shows why the progressives don't get why joe biden is in the hole these days these because they're advising him to do the exact wrong thing. >> rachel: surrounded by all these people double down on your progressive policies. >> brian: he got bad news yesterday. his comms director kate
