[inaudible] the idea that we are going to be able to click a switch, bring down the cost of gasoline is not likely in the near term nor is it with regard to food. >> with regard to baby formula, the president says he didn't know about shortages until april. >> i became aware of this problem some time after -- in early april about how intense it was. >> which appears to signal that his staff didn't brief him for months. >> since february, my administration has been working diligently. >> top advisers are coming clean about missing rising prices. >> i think i was wrong then about the path that inflation would take. >> but it shou

white house correspondent peter doocy joins us from the north lawn. good evening, peter. >> good evening, bret. when the president gave the rousing speech about the economy today he never mentioned the federal reserve is expected to raise interest rates tomorrow. instead, he was looking backwards and talking about all the times that there were long lines of cars waiting to get boxes of food during covid lockdowns as he tried to make the point it could be worse. >> under my plan for the economy we made extraordinary progress. >> so dismal economic trends aren't the problem. the president thinks messaging is the problem. >> i don't want to hear anymore of these lies about reckless spending. >> three members of biden's inner circle head to the hill tomorrow. kate bedingfield, john o'malley dillon and will talk messaging on the economy. >> inflation. it's sapping the strength of a lot of families. >> inflation is not isolated to the u.s. worldwide problems worse everywhere but here. >> but that's an exaggeration. inflation is not as bad in germany, france

begin with white house correspondent peter doocy, reporting live from the north lawn for us at this hour. hi, peter. >> peter: and sandra, president biden told me yesterday when i asked him how much longer it's going to take for gas prices to come down because of all the factors that go into setting gas prices, they are going to be here for a while. >> there's a lot going on right now but the idea we are going to be able to click a switch, bring down the cost of gasoline is not likely in the near term, nor with regard to food. >> the white house's spin about the big miss with private payrolls only adding 128,000 jobs last month, less than half the projected 299,000. reads like this. today we received more data that despite global challenges we face america is on the move. unemployment benefits have reached historic lows since i took office, the number of americans one employment is down 95%, and add the 8 million jobs. no mention of the rapidly pricing price. >> when are you going to admit that you were wrong about inflation? >> no easy questions today, huh. >> the treasury secretary sai

we are live on the north lawn of the white house with details. hi, lucas. >> our colleague john roberts as the senior economic advisor to the president the following question. >> when can we expect gas prices to come down? >> i think that we saw them spike up in may. i am sure that will be reflected in the inflation report that we will get this week. i am not in the forecasting business. >> looking at the price of gasoline we see it has been increasing since the president was elected. double since biden was sworn in. today, another record high. approaching $5 a gallon nationwide. already broken the threshold. still fuel up 77% in just the past year alone. gasoline not the only fuel crisis facing the president. the baby formula crisis also continues with 10 states 90% out of formula. the habit formula factory has resumed production with initial product hitting the stores and weeks. a u.s. military cargo plane flying from australia expecting to land in the united states soon. formula made from goats milk to feed millions of hungry american babies.

we have more on that from the north lawn. >> president biden is expected to call on congress today to extend a three-month federal gas tax holiday even though the white house hasn't begun any sort of outreach to lawmakers to build support to pass this. at this juncture it looks like it is getting probably no republican support. senator tom cotton said the gas tax holiday is a gimmick worth 6% of the increasing gas since biden took office. meant to cover up the fact that dem policies have restricted supply and raised costs. even former president obama called a gas tax holiday a gimmick that allows people in washington to pat themselves on the back with no return and unclear how much americans will benefit from this. federal gas taxes are much lower than state gas taxes and also some worry among economists that a gas tax holiday could increase demand and increase inflation. the white house is desperate to get prices down. the president is picking a fight with oil companies accusing refiners of raking in record profits while americans foot the bill. chevron ceo responded to biden writing

joining us now, correspondent ali vitali and from the north lawn of the white house, and "morning joe" senior contributor, eugene daniels. good morning to you both. ali, i'll start with you. we had a long conversation with senator murphy. do his best to express optimism, saying there are more republicans at the table now than he's ever seen. that he believes they are negotiating in good faith. but also with a dose of reality that he's not going to get everything he wants to get or maybe anything even if it is so popular with the american public as expanded universal background checks, red flag laws an the like. >> that dose of reality check is never far from mind here on capitol hill. because we really have seen legislators do this dance before. come to the table, try to negotiate a package, and have it fall apart. i think one of the things that we're looking at is both a democratic shift of mindset because you hear chris murphy saying there are things on the table that he's entertaining. he won't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. that is important when you consider the democr

white house correspondent peter doocy has that story tonight live from the north lawn. good evening, peter. >> peter: good evening, bret. we saw today the president's solution to solving this energy crisis is to let oil executives go and have a meeting at the energy department with the energy secretary. but, to let clean energy producers come here to the white house to personally get their input. >> you know, alternative energy makes sense. >> that's what the president said as he met with offshore wind partners. >> look, the president, it was a stop by. this is something that he does he have often. >> a mile away, he let the energy secretary sit with oil ceos who still want to see him. two dozen energy producers write the president, quote: we would be honor to have had show you how our industry is involved in every step of the energy process from fuel pumps, to critical product, delivery infrastructure, to production zones across our vast nation. for now, the centerpiece of the president's gas price plan is a proposed gas tax holiday. >> we see it as a simple, fast way

let's start with peter doocy reporting from the north lawn this morning. hi, peter. >> good morning. welcome back. white house officials aren't just saying they think things are going well. they are saying they think thing are going well because of them. >> i have reporters calling me when delta hit, omicron hit, putin went into ukraine saying is that it? will that derail the recovery? and so far you've seen resilience. that has a lot to do with the strength of the american recovery act. >> as poll numbers plummet, the american rescue plan is what white house officials hope to remind mid-term voters of. all those $1400 checks with no questions asked at the time. that's something that many economists assess contributed to the current inflation. but the white house disputes that writing in a new memo it is not plausible that disruptions in global energy and food markets are the result of the american rescue plan but bloomberg is reporting in a new book about janet yellen by the biographer, the treasury secretary privately told the president to make the rescu

peter doocy joins us from the north lawn leading the coverage today. good morning. >> even if this gas tax holiday gets passed by congress, it is unclear this morning exactly how much help people are going to get. >> markets don't respond to gimmicks. the administration -- it is an unserious solution to a serious problem and they are just not taking this as it really should. >> members of both parties are skeptical. the republican argument from tom cotton reads like this. the dems tax holiday is a gimmick worth 18 cents a gallon or 6% of the increase in gas since biden took office meant to cover up that stem policies that restricted supply and raised cost. democratic argument from fuhrman is this. >> i don't think it's a good idea. if you do it at the national level there is nothing that says that the companies pass the savings on. they could keep the extra profit for themselves. >> president biden is blaming putin and oil companies. chevron is responding. your administration is largely sought to criticize and at times vilify our industry. these action

peter doocy picks it up on the north lawn. what are they saying?esident's closest democratic allies is saying there is an easy way to tell if the country is in a recession. >> no question about that. if you can't afford to buy gasoline, you are in a recession. the investor class in this country is not losing any money. individuals, yes. but as a class, investors are still making money. corporate executives are making plenty of money. >> high gas prices driving inflation and president biden is considering either a cash rebate for fuel or pausing or favoring a pause of the federal gas tax. he says that decision is going to come by the end of this week but he is taking a hands-off approach until then. >> are you preparing to sit down with oil and gas? >> president biden: no. my team is going to do that. >> you did that with retailers and other companies. >> if the president comes out in favor of a gas tax holiday, he will be breaking with his party's most popular person. >> we are arguing over a gimmick to save you half a tank of gas. over the course

and muhammad are standing by, the power econ panel coming up, but first peter doocy live on the north lawn. why isn't the president himself meeting with those oil executives while they are in town? >> sandra, he says that his staff can handle that, in fact, the oil executives that came to washington did not get to come to the white house, the meeting was a mile away at the energy department but the president has time to drop by a meeting at 3:15, with folks talking about offshore wind energy, that shows where the president's priorities are at least today, and more than two dozen energy producers in this country, writing a letter to the president, before you board air force one or the middle east we hope you will consider taking another look at made in america energy. honored to show you how our energy is involved in every step, from fuel pumps to critical product infrastructure, to production zones across our vast nation. no word when the president will take them up on that offer, but president biden is apparently considering using the defense production act, or d.p.a. >> the kind of thing

thank you from the north lawn, hillary vaughn. >> dana: the white house may want gas prices to come downast but it may mean supporting gas and oil production. could sides agree on a solution? let's bring in the founder of rap don energy. you helped me learn about energy back then. it is hard for me to believe that the president of the united states would have oil executives in town during the middle of a gas crisis but send his secretary of energy to meet with them while he met with the energy folks. how will that solve anything and bring down prices? >> it's really not, dana. even to their credit, even jimmy carter and you have to go back to jimmy carter for a president under this much pressure on energy. even jimmy carter at the end decontrolled prices and started to undo some of the mistakes made. president obama, you know, understood we need all forms of energy and transitions take many decades. we're in a new place now. a place where the president wants the impossible. he wants instant oil and diesel and gas from an industry that is operating at full speed. can't do it. so he can't

lucas tomlinson is live on the north lawn, the latest from there. >> president biden spoke for 13 minutes, beginning at 12:36 p.m. this afternoon, no questions from reporters, he said the supreme court today took away a woman's constitutional right to abortion. of course the majority opinion on the supreme court said otherwise, said a woman does not have a constitutional right for abortion. president biden calling it a sad day for women and the country, a dark shadow has been cast. the health of women across the land is at risk. he said roe versus wade was the correct decision. and the decision by the supreme court was years in the making. >> make no mistake, this decision is a culmination of a deliberative effort over decades to upset balance of our law. extreme ideology and tragic error by the supreme court. >> president biden's views of abortion have evolved, he's going back and forth to when he was a young senator in 1973, 30 years old, and a practicing catholic. he said roe versus wade had gone too far. of course as vice president he changed the position and presidential candidate in

. >> steve: peter, thank you very much for the report from the north lawn.t looked at the economy says i know what he would missing, solar panels, i will have to declare it an emergency. remember 1,950ths we started with the defense production act started with a state of war and state of peace after world war ii. quickly we asked everyone to come together and do something state of emergency. so a state of emergency right now and economy going this good is to force companies, competing companies to work together to make more solar panels. this is a total kiss up to the wild left who feels like he has let them down. >> steve: if they are going to use the kevin's production act. they should have used it on baby formula. >> brian: took forever to do it. >> steve: indeed. now they are still flying it in from germany. ultimately, and, yesterday, the fox business correspondent asked of the press secretary hey, what emergency is it? and she would not name what emergency it was. the emergency is are the midterms. and they are trying to appeal to their base. and the l

. >> steve: jackie thank you very much great report from the north lawn.. gas is $5 a gallon. so what they're doing is they're brain storming at the white house trying to figure out how can we make it so that people still have to pay for gas but they're not as angry. if gas is $5 a gallon, what are they thinking about? they are apparently taking a second look at whether the federal government could send rebate cards out to millions of american drivers to help them pay at gas station, an idea they examined months ago before ruling it out. but i don't know that they thought that gas would be five bucks a gallon by now. so now it's like, everything's on the table. maybe we send people money to make them happy. >> ainsley: but the problem is you have to have the money initially to put gas in your car. the way rebates usually work is you send your reseat in and then they send you a check weeks or months later. >> brian: no one >> steve: it will be a check. >> brian: no one cuts off the box tops and sends it in. i would add this. >> ainsley: i do. >> brian: you
