first to peter doocy. he's live for us on the north lawn. peter, good afternoon. >> good afternoon, trace. white house officials are not talking about a recession but they're talking a lot about inflation. they admit that inflation is too high and they think they can start to bring it down by raising some taxes as part of a new bill put forward by senate democrats. >> we will be financed by ending special tax benefits for the wealthy and corporations and closing loop holes that allow multibillion dollar companies to pay zero dollars in taxes or hedge fund manager to pay considerably less in taxes than middle class families. >> but administration critics in congress are sounding an alarm about trying to spend taxpayer dollars to end inflation. arguing that they have proof that it won't work in the 1.9 trillion stimulus package that this president bragged about yesterday that the san francisco fed among others calculate could have -- may have made current inflation about 3% worse. >> when did inflation start sky rocketing? after this swearing

peter doocy live at the white house. joining us now, former washington d.c. police detective and defense attorney, ted williams. i'm interested about what peter was talking about there. the gun seems to be the biggest piece of evidence that we have. the atf is now trying to trace this weapon. they're trying to trace the ownership. it's not something that you can go online and pull it up and boom, you have a match. it takes awhile. so like everything else in an investigation, it takes awhile. is there a way that you know of, ted, that they can expedite this process a little bit? >> trace, it is not anything that i know of a manner that they can expedite it. they're moving me thought -- methodically. the good thing is that they have the gun. the good thing also is that they have means and ways as you have already represented to trace this gun. this is such a sad day. the fourth of july. we're celebrating our independence. here again, another mass shooting. trace, you and i have covered so many of these mass shootings in this country. this is a very sad situation

peter doocy, thank you very much. to tell the nation now the president of the united states has arrived in saudi arabia. you see air force one. we're waiting momentarily for him to be greeted in that country by dignitaries there on the tarmac. so as they move closer we want to make sure we catch this moment. peter doocy laid out so well what isn't going to happen in this trip which already has seen one country, israel, the president meeting with the prime minister there, getting israel's highest award. the presidential award to biden. but also not agreeing on how to contain iran from getting nuclear weapons. it has been an interesting trip. i don't know if you would check that as mission accomplished but as peter just laid out, then you have the president standing side-by-side with the palestinian leader abbas and not wanting to go forward with peace talks there. i don't know if you can check that as an accomplishment and learning moments ago that maybe not so much about asking the crown prince of saudi arabia to help

okay, peter doocy, thank you for being with us.night across the washington swamp, far left democrats, they continue to fuel more rage against supreme court justices and continue to attack the integrity of the court pier by the way, the double standards, they could not be any more obvious than they are because congresswoman causey of cortez is now firing back this week after a social media personality heckled her outside the capitol. here's what happened. >> aoc, my favorite big booty latina, she wants to kill babies and she still looks very beautiful, very beautiful, sexy. look at the booty on aoc, my favorite big booty latina. nice to meet you, aoc. look how sexy she looks in that dress! i love it, aoc, hot, hot, hot like a tamale! >> sean: let me be clear, that guy is being a jackass. heckling congresswoman is unacceptable, so are his remarks bear the congresswoman said in response, i was actually walking over to deck him because if no one will protect us then i will do it myself. i need to catch a vote more than a case today. he

. >> our own peter doocy, white house press secretary press secretary karine jean-pierre.r? >> does the president agree with her that the reason the supreme court decision is similar to slavery? >> i have not seen her comments. >> "our history is claiming ownership over human bodies and today's so-called leaders are criminalizing doctors and punishing women for making health care decisions for themselves." >> well, today's decisions are criminalizing doctors and essentially taking the rights away from women. >> so the president agrees? >> i will say the second part of what you just said, the vice president is actually right. >> kayleigh: i mean, he read her the direct quote, harris. you have to have an answer on that. "i haven't seen --" that's your job, to watch their speeches. >> harris: we have the words for you. you don't have to see it, here are the verbatim words for it. i say this often. to be ready for that job, to be really pressed in that press corps, is difficult. and you are starting to see now a drumbeat, not just from peter doocy, but when the president and v

. >> harris: president biden in israel right now as peter doocy reported for us. four-day whirlwind trip and pitch the iran nuclear deal with saudi and iz re officials and trying to broker an agreement with saudi arabia to -- the killing of a "washington post" columnist. retired four star general jack keane fox news senior strategic analyst and chairman of the institute for the study of war. general, great to have you in "focus" today. first of all your top line thoughts with the president doing what he is said to be doing today abroad. >> what he is really doing is resetting this relationship because this biden administration, when they came in in 2021 they count have more misguided in dealing with the middle east. they came into office after the trump had sanctions were having a maximum impact on the iranians. they were back on their heels due to that. a year before that solomony was killed. they were stunned the united states was willing to do that and in their mind it added greatly to their security. and then the paradigm shift in the middle east one of the mo

we're going to turn it over to white house correspondent peter doocy, who is traveling with the president. hi, peter . actually , good morning. and you hit the nail on the head there. the big focus of today's meetings is going to be on iran right now. the big concern for leaders in the gulf that the president is going to be meeting with separately and then together today is iran's nuclear program. what exactly are they going to do? they're the top two foes in the region for iran. are saudi arabia, where we are today with the president and israel where we were for the last couple of days with the president and things are apparently of great enough concern now that israel and saudi arabia have this first in a lifetime dialog going on . they are the first line kind of relations came yesterday when saudi arabia announced that they are finally going to start allowing flights to take off in israel to land here in saudi arabia and israel is not a part of today's meetings, but it is a great concern in the region what exactly iran is going to do. president biden said he prefers diplomacy, which is

but first, peter doocy with the north lawn. good afternoon. >> peter: 11.3 million job openings good, more than pre-pandemic but almost 6 million people looking for jobs means that there are about two openings for every one job seeker. that's not as good, it is near a historic high, and there is a report that the grass is apparently greener in states that are redder, the wall street journal has an item, says since february 2020, the month before the pandemic began, the share of all u.s. jobs located in red states has grown by more than half a percentage point, according to labor department data by the brookings institution think tank. red states, added 341,000 jobs, blue states were short 1.3 million jobs as of may. and those blue states are big enough to potentially drag the whole economy down. >> we are in a recession right now, it's virtually certain. if you look at the personal consumption data that came out last week, they, not only bad real consumption growth for last month, but also they revised downward a lot the numbers

>> bret: peter doocy live on the north lawn. peter, thank you.he head of the irs has asked a watchdog to investigate the decision to conduct intensive tax audits of former fbi director james comey and former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe. the announcement coming following a report from the "new york times." audits are supposed to be selected at random. the "times" notes the odds of anyone being selected for a national research program audit in 2017 are more than 0,000. raising questions about how two of former president trump's most visible critics were both selected. today the white house refused to comment on the probe. news tonight emonday musk's deal to buy. twitter's figures on spam accounts are not verifiable. that's according to sources with "the washington post." if he walks away from this deal, musk could be on the hook for a billion dollars break-up fee after making a $44 billion offer to purchase the company. stocks were up again today in a technologically led rally. the dow added 347, the s&p 500 gained 58. the nasdaq jumped 259.5

white house correspondent peter doocy is following it all tonight from the north lawn. good evening, peter. >> good evening, mike. president biden's team pored over today's jobs report and filled up part of a speech with some numbers they think prove that things are going well and the president deserves credit. >> my economic plan is moving this country in a better direction. >> the reason to believe the president thinks that unemployment rate low and steady at 3.6%. >> recovered all of the jobs lost during the pandemic and added jobs on top of that. >> but more than 11 million jobs remain unfilled as hundreds of thousands have decided to stop looking. >> the labor force participation rate dropped another two tenths percent the labor force 300,000 people. fewer out there available for work. >> inflation near a 40 year high outpacing wage growth. >> the problem is that every single day americans are hurting when they are either putting gas in their tanks, when they are trying to put food on their table, when they are trying to pay their rent or their energy bills. the mos

peter doocy is live at the white house first. >> good morning. president biden is back from the middle east and saudi leaders are saying that the president never took the opportunity with all the gulf leaders gathered in the same room for a summit to talk about oil production. but the president is saying that he didn't have to because gas prices are coming down anyway. >> president biden: they're coming down every single day to the best of my knowledge. >> what was the impact of this visit? >> president biden: i suspect you won't see that for another couple of weeks. >> voters are losing confidence and quickly. just 17% in a new fox news poll say the economy is good. 84% say it is fair or poor. white house officials are blaming high inflation on high gas prices and biden officials are saying just have some patience. >> it is now $4.55 and i expect it to come down more towards $4 and we already have many gas stations around the country below $4. so we're -- this is the fastest decline rate we've seen against a major increase of oil prices during a

i listened to peter doocy's live shot.lking about the white house press secretary saying this is the best economic position we've been in history. joe biden wants to take credit for the good economic news and blame putin for the bad economic news. when your approval ratings are as anemic as they are, there has to be a change in strategy. >> i want to give credit to juan. i think he would make a suburb joe biden white house press secretary. here's the problem that the president has. in my lifetime, there's been five major wave elections, the ronald reagan revolution, the gingrich revolution, the bush repudiation of 2006 and the obama repudiation number 1 in 2010 and a massive obama repudiation in 2014 number 2. the thing about all five, they were heading into a similar cycle. there will be another repudiation election. the thing about each of them, no one saw how big they would be. all the indications that took place showed there was going to be a massive election. each turned out to be more massive. they are unlike what ju

my plain speaking colleague peter doocy. thank you. i'm joined by joey jones fox news contributor, fox nation host and retired marine bomb technician and a veteran of both the wars in iraq and afghanistan. we will lean on him mightily for expertise and guidance. always good to have you in "focus." you heard the difference between what our president thinks will work, pure diplomacy, and what the prime minister of israel says he knows will work and that's a threat of force. what is your take? >> i think it's tough to be president biden in israel right now. if you jux to pose where he is in the entire middle east but especially where israel but to where president trump was it is an astonishing difference. he moved the embassy to jerusalem and struck the abraham accords and made iran the pariah. president biden has attempted to make saudi arabia the pariah. pretty interesting outlooks as to who we can work with and who we can't. you might say president trump tried cozy up to north korea to get something done. what was the kol rat ral he pu

white house correspondent peter doocy has the latest tonight from the north lawn. od evening, peter. >> good evening, bret. officials around here really don't like the word recession. the word they like to describe the economy instead is transition from rapid growth to steady growth and officials argue that things are slowing down but that is good as president biden continues quarantining with covid for a fifth day. >> i never look that good. i hope i look as good as i usually do which is not that good. >> the president's doctor says is he almost back to full strength. and when he emerges from quarantine, he will be facing reports, like this one, from an official from the imf who writes: the world may soon be teetering on the edge of a global recession. only two years after the last one. white house officials are setting expectations ahead of g.d.p. numbers thursday. >> two negative quarters of g.d.p. growth is not the technical definition of recession. >> that has republicans piling on. >> when you are quibbling about the definition of a recession you know you are

white house correspondent peter doocy has our top story tonight live from the north lawn. od evening, peter. >> good evening, bret. officials here are talking about how well the economy is doing because of how many jobs have been created since this president took office. but, jobs are just one economic i observed carat. some other economic indicators may show this week the country is now in a recession. that is something i just spoke to the president about. >> mr. president, we are getting g.d.p. numbers on thursday. how worried should americans be that we could be in a recession? >> we're not going to be in a recession, in my view. >> that might depend on what the definition of recession is. generally understood to mean two quarters in a row of falling g.d.p. now white house officials say not under this president. >> that is not the actual definition of a recession. it is a significant contractionary period over a few months where the -- those who make that determination look at a lot of different factors, particularly the jobs market. >> part of the argument is that thing

and that is what peter doocy was asking. they just refused to engage.articularly as we see increasingly that joe biden is going soft on china. and even if you did not know all the back story of the laptop and the incriminating evidence about the millions of dollars from that chinese policy to the biden family you would have to suspect that joe biden was somehow compromised. because why has he unwound a whole lot of trump administration and get tough on china measures? they're just does not seem to be a real reason for it. >> in time after time joe biden has been asked about this, miranda, he will look you in the face and categorically lie about it. i don't know if they are saying that voicemail is doctored or it is not joe biden. it's clear to anybody who listens to it that it is. and he will still look the press in the eye and lie and not admit any knowledge. >> it is shameless. you see just on thursday you saw hunter biden they are at white house, at a function. front and center networking, glad handling. this is just the kind of that joe biden has ma

>> bret: peter doocy in the white house briefing room. peter, thank you.ay in maryland. we will tell you why it's shaping up as a battle between the current governor there and former president trump. first, here's what some of our fox affiliates around the country are covering tonight. fox 5 in plague as the transformer at the hoover dam catches fire leading to explosion and plumes of smoke there bolder city fire department says this morning's blaze was extinguished when the crews arrived. no injuries reported there was no risk to the power grid. fox 5 in new york as a powerful storm system triggers flash flooding in some communities. the storm system strong gusty winds, heavy down powers. national weather service issued several alerts for new york, new jersey and connecticut. this is a live look at pensacola, florida. one of the big stories there tonight, the u.s. navy's blue angels names the first woman as a demonstration pilot for the 2023 air show season. lieutenant amanda lee of mounds view, minnesota is the first woman to join the iconic flight squad

will: peter doocy's live in jeddah, saudi arabia, with more. en comes out today, steps up to the mic to say that the saudis ' capacity, the maximum capacity right now -- which is about 12 million barrels -- can only go up a little bit more, if at all. listen to this. >> translator: the kingdom will play its role in this era as it attempts to increase the maximum sustainable capacity to more than 13 million barrels. beyond that the kingdom will not have any further production capacity. >> reporter: so that would mean the capacity at the most could go about a million more barrels a day here in saudi arabia. a million barrels a day is what president biden are is -- is are releasing prosecute strategic petroleum reserve. -- petroleum -- from the strategic petroleum reserve. and as we've seen, it's really not having a big impact on gas prices, least not at this point. it's also unclear what president biden thinks about what mbs just said publicly, but he really shouldn't be surprised because we had this clip of emmanuel macron two weeks ago at the g7

peter doocy asked the press secretary about it today, what can you tell us on that front?to the feeder, he's doing a great job over there. and it was uncomfortable to say the least for the press secretary. she was forced to field these inquiries about why the president seems to have misled the country when he said he never discussed his son's business dealings. when there certainly appears, shannon, to be evidence to the contrary. thanks to a voice mail on earth on his now infamous laptop. >> why is there a voice mail of the president talking to his son about his overseas business dealing if the president has said he is never spoken to his son about his overseas business? >> i think your clear, how is that not him talking to his son about his overseas business dealings? >> from this podium, i'm not going to talk about alleged materials from the laptop. i'm not going to talk about alleged materials on the laptop. -- >> are you -- >> i refer you to his son's representative. >> but the sun is not the president. the president's to the american people want to hear from. they ar

peter doocy, thank you very much. >> bill: next stop saudi arabia. he will land in 90 minutes. after a surge in gas prices under his watch. a major liability for democrats come november. here is what we're feeling at home. inflation biggest concern for americans right now at 33%. meanwhile you have the trip overseas. can you run a parallel now what the president is asking for in saudi arabia, what he may or may not get, and then when you come home, this inflation issue is stubborn and will be here a while. >> if that bloomberg report is true americans are concerned about rising gas prices and the goal of the trip was to increase oil production in the middle east. if it doesn't happen right away, it is not good news politically for the administration. more broadly, bill, the dissolutionment about the economy at record highs right now. there was a "new york times" poll that showed only 13% of americans think the country is on the right track and that's largely about inflation and the economy. and one of the challenges for the biden administration is they have been trying to say e

peter doocy, thank you forit being with us. now, alsoh tonight, across the washington swamp, far left democrats, they continue to fuel more rage againsty supreme court justices and continue toth attack the integrity of the court. t and by the way, the double standards, they could not be any more obvious than they are because congresswoman locascio cortez is now firingauc back this week after a social media personality heckled herer outside the capitol. here's what happened. pe >>ne hey, i see my favorite big latina. i love you. you're my favorite. she wants to kill babies. she's still beautiful. you look very beautiful in that dress. you look very. look that on ac.y that's my very big. latina . i love it. my favorite afsc nitromethane. look how she was in that dress. oh, i love hot hottentot like it's a ballet. let me be clear. that guy is being a .>> heckerling members of congress at the capitol not appropriate. it's unacceptable. hises remarks, the congresswoman said in response though to a the incidentre. i wasre actually wa

we have got coverage at the white house and peter doocy in saudi arabia. peter, we'll start things off with you. >> and here in saudi arabia, the leaders of telling president biden they can help expand their oil production capacity, but only a little bit. so, if president biden came here thinking he was going to get saudi arabia to increase their oil production capacity so much that it might lower gas prices back at home, he's leaving emptyhanded. >> in this era, announced increase of the level maximum sustainable capacity more than 13 million barrels, beyond that the kingdom will not have any further production capacity. >> so, what this means, they can expand to 13 million barrels a day max, but they're already at 12 million barrels a day capacity. at most they could add the same number barrels a day the president is selling from the strategic reserve and that's not really lowering prices a ton. so, it's unclear at this point if the president was overselling what he said he squeezed out of the saudis. >> i'm doing all i can to increase the supply for the

address specifically the question peter doocy asked you.stion was the alleged leak happened to prevent nancy pelosi to do this trip and secondly you can have the debate about chinese policy and whether we can be involved. i they part of china? all of that is a healthy debate and both sides fall on different sides of the spectrum. the question, should they still be threatening the third line person in succession over that policy? that is what the american people are frustrated about. mike pompeo has thoughts about the white house reaction. >> dangerous way to think about america's place in the world that some knucklehead chinese, it is party bureaucrat can make a threat on the person third in line for the presidency and change her travel plans, travel to a country she wants to visit is part and parcel of a week foreign policy, and administration that is scared of its own shadow, 24 hours after the president is on the phone with xi jinping, that suggest the call went poorly, that jinping believes they can move about freely and intimidate us.

peter doocy is shot down after this question, watch this. >> why is there a voicemail about the president talking about overseas business dealings if the president said he never spoken to his son about overseas business dealings? >> what the president said stands, so if that is what the president said, that stan >> brooke: karine jean-pierre insists she cannot validate the video despite confirmation by multiple outlets. >> i think it is clear, how is that not him talking about overseas business dealings? >> i will not talk about alleged -- >> are you disputing the president's voice on the voicemails? >> i cannot comment. >> brooke: hunter biden was with his father celebrating the 4th of july at the white house >> carley: president biden approval rating hitting record low 36% of americans approve of his performance in a new monmouth poll. >> todd: a congressman says he has to change course issue his numbers are in the toilet, what he is doing is not working. sean duffy joins us now. sean, different day, same story of increasing panic, what will it take for joe biden to change policies that

the global pandemic that they caused here now with more will anyway would joe biden's witness is peter doocy. peter if you start with confidence in the fed raising rates 75 basis points then of course the real definition of a recession is numbers there hasn't been a single good day this week for the administration and interest that you keep getting into these arguments because they want to redefine what a recession is anyway i bet that makes your life entertaining. >> every day here is entertaining here the white house of course. it's interesting i sent in our normal seats today for the press briefing and in one hour with a after these gdp numbers came out that show the technical definition of a recession. never use the word recession they are talking about inflation and they think that they can bring it down these democratic bill on the hills that raises taxes on corporations are rich people slower inflation which of course is being disputed by republicans, the word recession never came up. the distinctive begin employment rate is too low and businesses are investing too much money into the

that's exactly what i said to kilmeade and peter doocy about my backyard tree house.nese foreign ministry spokesman hit back. saying "the u.s. side is constantly constructed a smear campaign against china's normal and reasonable outer space endeavors and china firmly opposes such irresponsible remarks." that settles that. there is no one i trust more than the chinese government. there is nothing more irresponsible than nasa's remarks, not even unleashing a deadly pandemic that's killed millions of people but still while china pursue stuff like military efforts in space, with our country focused on? if you are our navy, you're making videos like this. speaker using the right pronouns in the simple way to affirm one's identity. what do i do if finest gender someone? >> the first thing to recognize is that it's not the end of the world. correct yourself and move on. accept the correction and move on. the most important thing i can tell you. do not put the burden of making you feel good about your mistake on the person that you just misgenderred. >> greg: we are so speaki

this is philip wegmann trying to follow-up on peter doocy's question. seems about peter's question about his conversation with the sonic come hunter biden with regards to his business dealings. i'm wondering how is that silence consistent with the president's promise to always level with the american public. >> i cannot comment on any materials from the laptop. i would refer you to the representative of hunter biden. >> what appears to me -- that's the fall back, we are not going to talk about it from the podium as it pertains to the laptop. if you have questions about a go talk to hunter biden's team. both of those reporters they weren't looking for something from hunter biden, they were looking for something on behalf of the president. >> that's exactly right. in a way you almost have to feel for her she's obviously been told you are not allowed to talk about this out there. and wonders how much someone like the white house spokesperson actually knows about the details of what's going on. joe biden clearly is not talking about it. and one doubts that

peter doocy is in jerusalem travelling with the president. are the israelis satisfied with the president's approach to iran? >> peter: all the talk about diplomacy and the new iran nuclear deal might not stop iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon. >> words will not stop it, mr. president. diplomacy will not stop them. the only thing that will stop iran is knowing that if they continue to develop their nuclear program the free world will use force. the only way to stop them is to put a credible military threat on the table. >> peter: that's an absolute last resort, according to provided who committed to that in a joint declaration, part says the united states stresses integral to the pledge, commitment never to allow iran to have a nuclear weapon and using national power to assure the outcome. when the president heads next to saudi arabia he is hoping to convince middle east leaders gathered there to do business with the u.s. and not china or russia. >> when i see the saudi leadership tomorrow i'll carry a message of peace and extraordinary oppor

we just got an update according to peter doocy who is working on this from the atf saying they're onthat parade and that they're going to probably find out where that firearm was sold and start that investigation. how long does that process usually take? >> that can go fairly quickly depending on how the records are kept by the store, if the store is still open. unfortunately the gun owner, gun stores are not required to keep those records computerized and they don't turn them over to the atf in a computerized way. so this is a paper chase. that can go very quickly when you have a lot of law enforcement resources chasing it down in a case like this. also can be stymied when the gun store owner hasn't kept their records properly or has allowed them to be destroyed. >> phil, this is alicia acuna. the official from the atf who he spoke to in chicago said that now begins the process of tracking the life of the gun. what does that process look like? >> once they have this gun and they have the manufacturer and the serial number on it, they can go from the actual inception, from the manufa

in any case, peter doocy pressed karine jean-pierre, we heard the voice mail.d to deny it's there. he literally knows nothing. fire wall between him. >> steve: he said that repeatedly. there is this fire wall between hunter and him. and here is peter doocy pressing jean jean-pierre on that voice mail. >> why is there a voice mail of the president talking to his son about his overseas business dealings if the president had said he has never spoken to his son about his overseas business dealings? >> well, first, i will safe that what the president said stands. so, if that's what the president said, that is what stands. >> voice mail "new york times" article concerning hunter biden's business dealings and says i think you're clear. how is that not him talking to his son about his overseas business dealings? >> we are not -- from this podium i'm not going to talk about alleged materials from the laptop. >> are you disputing that was the president's voice on the voice mail. >> i'm not going to talk about alleged materials on the laptop. it's not happening. >> are yo

very serious actually trying to change the definition of a word to get out of it it reminds me of peter doocypsaki than the press secretary there was a crisis of the southern border. and when around, and around and around said no it's a challenge on a crisis. do you remember when barack obama did not want to call terrace terrorist. you want to call them radical extremists. he couldn't say the word terrorists and trying to change the language a mini plate language i think is insulting to the very people who were leading and is not necessary to put too much money into the economy this too much money into a few goods that made his inflation went up that's basic what they could do is that of trying to change the definition or just say are the three things that were try to do about it right now wintersteen was going on for the last 18 months i feeling i continue to come on our list of people like you are what oliver shows is good advice for them to take these don't take it. respectably strange boats including china changeling which altogether to get out of fixing themselves in. >> you can't deny s

let's go outside the white house with peter doocy. >> president biden is still in the white house residence recovering from covid-19. we expect to see him virtually to talk about the economy and about making computer chips in the united states within the next 3 1/2 hours or so. but don't expect to hear him or anybody else that works for him use the word recession because officials are basically saying we know what you think a recession is and how recessions have been defined for the last forever, but instead think about it like this. they posted this. quote, what is a recession? some maintain two consecutive quarters of falling real gdp constitute a recession. that's not the official definition nor the way economists evaluate the state of the business cycle. >> those numbers will reflect the period from april to june. so backward looking. those numbers are inherently backward looking and capture different elements of economic activity including volatile things like inventory. >> administration officials insist their plans are working because even though the average per gallon of gas tops $4

the number one issue for voters for basically the past 10 months, when peter doocy asked the president a female dog, it is a morning show, keep it g rated for carley. there is a real possibility we could look at 10% inflation going into the fall. it is hard to see how democrats could overcome that elephant on steroids. "new york times," a day late, several times short. we got to go. >> carley: thank you, he wrapped himself. what a professional. thanks. >> joe: i'm that kind of guest. >> carley: new report from los angeles times detailing problems with the push toward green energy. the report finding solar panels are filling up landfills. according to the times, about 140,000 solar panels are being installed everyday in the u.s., but only one in 10 are being properly recycled. >> todd: senate president manchin will not -- before the upcoming midterm. manchin opposed 2 trillion build back better act and the senator said he would be open to provisions to lower the cost of prescription drugs. tributes pour in for ivana trump, lara trump will join us to reflect on the life and legacy of her

. >> sandra: peter doocy at the white house, what do officials expect from this week? are we in a recession or not? >> peter: sounds like, sandra, they are expecting very bad numbers. economic officials here at the white house are already telling people not to pay attention to these g.d.p. figures. >> let's step back and look what happened. those numbers will reflect the period from april to june, so backward looking, those numbers are inherently backward looking and capture different elements of economic activity, including very volatile things like inventory. >> john: officials are now saying even though the dictionary definition of the recession is two quarters of falling g.d.p. in a row, if this shows, two quarters of falling g.d.p. in a row, it's actually not a recession. >> this is not in an economy that's in recession but we are in a period of transition in which growth is slowing and that's necessary and appropriate. >> peter: president biden is working from home today as he recovers from covid. we are hearing his symptoms have almost completely resolved. a lett

peter doocy starts the coverage from the north lawn. what's the explanation now? >> what we continue to hear from officials at the white house is that when prices go up for pretty much anything, it is putin's fault out of the president's hands. when the prices come down, it is the president's plans to thank and he deserves a lot of credit. and that is leading to new questions whether or not there is a double standard. >> there is no both way thinking here at all. i very much disagree with that framing. what's happening here is a president who is working tirelessly to address the largest constraint probably the toughest constraint facing american households right now. >> the president came back from the middle east without firm commitments to get gulf partners to drill more even though that was on the to do list. white house officials say that's okay. he is releasing oil from the strategic petroleum reserves and urging gas stations to lower prices. in a memo they write president biden's top priority is reducing inflation and lowering gas prices. >> we have seen gas

peter doocy is live at the white house. good noerng. >> we're told that president biden and president xi spoke on the phone for about two hours and 17 minutes, the longest of their five calls since this president took office. joe biden bragged over the last couple of years he has known xi for a long time. when i asked he said they aren't old friends. it is strictly business. we're now seeing what that is looking like. the pentagon says commander-in-chief has ordered military access into the south china sea. we have a statement that says i can confirm u.s.s. ronald reagan and strike group are underway operating in the south china sea following a successful port visit to singapore. as matter of policy we don't discuss future ship movements. reagan is continuing noble scheduled operations as part of her patrol in support of a free and open indough pacific. china watchers believe xi wants the self-governing taiwan back under chinese control to cement his legacy. president biden has pledged to help taiwan defend itself if china

>> dana: it reminds me peter doocy of the southern border with the crisis and said, no, challenge.isis debate for two weeks. and in many situations it is good to say yeah, we have a problem. absolutely come a crisis and we are on top of it and what we are doing. because now, if this isn't a crisis and economy not in recession redefining words is not helping people. >> jesse: greg, what would you have said there? >> greg: water words for? no one listens anymore. water words for? we are quoting this in person. you can't take crisis because it's on his watch. at the restaurant you get food poisoning, you say crisis, it is just a challenge, a bad soup so we cannot say it. and i think this is why they want mail in votes. people are too frightened to go to the booth because everyone is scared to go home. there are two kinds of people, vicious crimes and people who know victims of crimes and everybody has a handful of stories and among the criminals only two kinds, the free and the oppressed. at least here, i'm hoping mayor adams will ask for help. he seems to be at the end of his rope, y

checkmate peter doocy. no wonder 79% of democratic voters want someone else at the helm in 2024 even according to a fake new scene in poll. take a look. >> 75%, the vast majority of democrats, 3 out of 4, don't want biden to be their nominee in 2024. that's according to a new cnn poll. david axelrod, former senior advisor to president obama. i heard that in sort of stopped in my tracks for a second. three quarters of democrats don't want the incumbent president to run again? how worried should biden be right now about that? >> well. obviously this is a very unhappy bit of data for him. i'm sure it's concerning. >> sean: it's a little more than concerning, david. it's humiliating for joe biden and it speaks volumes. even democratic leaders in congress included some of joe's old friends from the senate, they are openly refusing to endorse a joe biden second term. take a look at this. >> do you support the president in his reelection bid? >> i am working on my own election and that's all i'm focused on right n

. >> john: white house, and peter doocy to kick it off. r not do? >> peter: they are careful right now, john, not to tell her what to do or not to do, and not to step on her toes and be respectful of the fact she is the leader of an independent branch of government. >> this is a decision for members of congress to make, from what i understand, and what i'm sure you all have seen, there has not been an announcement yet. so i'm not going to get ahead of her own schedule. >> here is why this is so tricky. taiwan is a self-governing island but china thinks taiwan should be governed by china, by beijing. and the u.s. is remaining kind of neutral on the whole issue, treating it similar to the way they treat ukraine against russia, making it clear they would give taiwan the tools to fight against a potential chinese invasion without putting american troops on the front line to fight chinese soldiers on the battlefield. >> what kind of message does that send if she allows the bully to win and biden allows them to win to the japanese, australians, o
