"the washington post," joe was lashing out at his own staff and his chief of staff ron klain. biden frequently is blaming florida senator rick scott for some reason. according to joe, rick scott is responsible for all of the economic woes. he's one senator. not a joke as he likes to say. not a joke. for god's sakes. senator scott is responding in a strong way. take a look. >> joe biden has destroyed america's economy. it's time to be honest with the american people. joe biden's under office should resign. i'm rick scott florida, and i do have a problem and so does every american. biden is forcing america into recession. i've a plan to turn our country around. take a look at rescue america.com. i approve this message. >> sean: here with reaction, florida senator rick scott. if i don't know why you take up so much space in his head, but apparently you do. apparently it's a compliment. he really has destroyed the economy. 41 year high of inflation, you can see the numbers. a definite recession on the horizon according to the experts. even lauren summers. if you want him to the re

ron klain.ay, the card contains a series of step by step instructions for joe biden is i if he literally had nof ideaad where he was. now these are not complex literally read this. this is verbatim youer enter the roosevelter room, you take your seat period. you thank the participants period. you depart. what are we to make of this ? dr. marc siegel joins us tonight single for joining us . i'm not quitethan sure what to , but you're the physician. what's your response to this ? yikes.es tucker , you know, i always say that having examined the president, but somebody thinks he needs this notecardve don't pay his staff. you take a seat, you ask one question. this explains whyhy one question he takes then you depart. let me tell you something. there's something called executive function. and i talked aboutth unction and that last time we discussed this . let me let me tell you what executive function is. according to all the neuroscience journals that i looked at plan focus your attention. remember

we learned secretary yellen was not invited in by ron klain to some of these cuddles.does seem like there is a small group of individuals, most notably ron klain, and the president talking about these issues. the issue with today, this is very much so performative. this is the administration trying to spin inflation, trying to do something because we know this is hurting consumers at the pump. there is no substance. kailey: it is performative and failing at the performative aspect. it is jason furman of the clinton administration, people coming out with scathing reviews, wholesale. lisa: what is this performative exercise for? who is it going to be successful towards? tom: how come lisa asks clear were questions than i do? lisa: at what point does this highlight the desperation in this administration? annmarie: we do not know yet exactly how the public, the everyday consumer is going to think of this. if you see a headline, biden acting on congress to get rid of a tax, you are not looking into the details of that, potentially, that is a democratic voter that says, i li

firing ron klain is not going to get ten republican votes in the senate for gun legislation.votes for a lot of his agenda in congress and on the big issue that americans care about inflation matt is right. the arp, most economists will say, contributed to inflation. we probably would have had serious inflation anyway but arp does seem like it increased inflation. at this point though he doesn't have any control over that issue, especially in the months before the mid terms. the best things that presidents can do if they want to get a lot of stuff done is make sure they have 60 votes in the senate and a majority in the house. >> 15 seconds, matt, because we've got to wrap up. >> well, let's see where to go. look. i think that every time a democrat is in the white house we have this discussion. when jimmy carter was discussion we said or talking heads said the job is just too big for one person rick the last time ryan and i had this fight, barack obama was president and here we are begin. i think that actually the buck stops there. presidents actually do matter and i think it's

ron klain. it turns out the presidency.irmative-action is essential for vice president's honestly that's how we got, layers in the first place but not for president presidents have too much power so the usual diversity sanders don't apply. we had 46 male white presidents in the democratic once you have another. not so fast, racists. hold on a second. the rest of washington may be on board with this coup against kamala harris who again earned the job. they may be willing to stand back and allow america's highest-ranking woman of color to be degraded and humiliated all the pages of "the new york times" what we are not. we believe kamala harris is a human being with hopes and dreams and aspirations. she is a first in so many ways. she celebrated kwanzaa before it was even invented and now that opera is retired, harasses america's main main source of life-affirming aphorisms that don't actually mean anything. watch this montage that we have lovingly collected. ask yourself how anyone could stand in the way this one becoming pre

it's where we begin the hour with white house chief of staff ron klain. e 1/6 committee to guns lands on your desk before it lands on the president's desk. i wonder if you can just take me inside this moment for all of you at the white house. >> reporter: yeah, nicolle, the agenda is full and complete. a lot going on, but i think this gun issue has really hit everyone at the white house, starting with the president, of course, as you said, two-time prime time addresses in less than two weeks, and then that powerful statement yesterday at the white house by matthew mcconaughey, who's a native of uvalde, and came to talk about his work with the families there, and so i think this is a very emotional time for us. the president's encouraged by the progress being made on capitol hill. he got a briefing yesterday from senator chris murphy here at the white house, but this is a time where the country and most importantly the congress needs to answer the call of the survivors and the families of uvalde, when they said do something and that's what the president wan

ron klain is not one of them. when we come back, we'll tell you who they are. joe, thank you. thanks for coming in. >> thank you. >> martha: thank you. so the kremlin hits back after the united states takes another step to help ukraine defeat vladimir putin with a new missile announcement. nigel farage weighs in live from london next. there are many names for enthusiast but there's only one way to become one... by going all in. the lexus is. all in on the sports sedan. ♪♪ right now, we're all feelin' the squeeze. we're having to get creative. find a new way. but birthdays still happen. fridays still call for s'mores. you have to make magic, and you're figuring out how to do that. what you don't have to figure out is where to shop. because while you're getting creative, walmart is doing what we always do. keeping prices low for you every day. so you can save money and live better. ♪ >> martha: all right. this is not the reported shakeup that we're seeing yet. the white house announced that two staffers are departing. they were in the press office and moving to other departments

i sat down with ron klain, the current chief of staff to the president, and asked him what this job entails and why it is so difficult. for those who don't know his background, it is quite amazing. he has served his country for many years. among those positions are chief counsel for the senate judiciary committee under then-chairman joe biden. associate counsel for judicial selection under resident clinton. chief of staff and counselor to the attorney general, janet reno. staff director of the senate democratic leadership committee and chief of staff to vice president al gore. in addition, he also served as assistant the president and chief of staff to vice president biden in the obama administration and returned after serving several years to serve as the white house ebola response coordinator. i think you have the perfect resume for this job. but you know so much about being chief of staff and you know so much about the white house, don't you know that being chief of staff to the president of the united states is a difficult job to do and usually the tenure is 18 months? about 18 months?

joe biden and friends ron klain? well, itde turns out the presidency is a differentaf thing. affirmative action is essential for vice presidents. obviously . so we got commentariat in the first place, but not forid presidents. presidents have too much power so the usual diversity standards don't apply. we've had a forty six male whit6 presidents, white male presidents in a row. the democratic party wants you to have another not so fast racist. hold on a second. now the rest of official washington may be completely on board with this coup against kamala harris who again earned the job. they may be willing to stand back and allow america's highest ranking woman of color to be degraded and humiliated in the pages of the new times. a but we're not we believe kamala harris is a human beingngrr with hopes and dreams and aspirations. nhshe's a first in so many ways. she celebrated kwanzaa before it was even inventedaa. er and ofa course, now that oprah is retired, kamala harris is america's mainic source of lifel affirming aphorisms that don't actually mean anything. watch this mont

ron klain tweeted -- containing the same just days ago. what is the talking points?t is the white house saying here? they crunch the numbers and it turns out the claim is based on the comparison of four year averages that includes the tremendous drop in economic activity at the start of covid. he could not is arkansas senator tom cotton. the playing games in numbers is so obvious and excellent responded to by the prophets idiotic number and confirmed what we already knew that the administration is making the oil production issue much respect. -- worse. >> senator cotton: yes, i guess we should not be surprised that he is bad at math. it is very coincidental that the oil executive companies got so three greedy. the reason we have this is because of joe biden's policies and it is the exact design of joe biden's policies. on the campaign trail, he and all those other democrats said they are going to save on fossil fuels. they were going to declare war on oil and gas and that is exactly what they have done and the casualties of that war are american's families and busine

they would invite larry summers to the white house to give the entire cabinet and senior staff like ron klain a tutorial in basic economics. every single person on his economics team should be fired. in fact, anyone who advised the president that inflation was transitory should resign or be terminated. >> but joe biden and whatever combo of jill, his sister and hunter have kept the whole plate things spinning these past 18 months, they're refusing to budge on policy or personnel. they decided just, i don't know, deny reality as long as possible. >> i see important transitory influences at work, and i don't anticipate that it will be permanent. >> most of the price increases we've seen were expected and are expected to be temporary. >> is it wrong to consider inflation transitory? >> we have to address the fact that we got to deal with the fact that folks are paying for gas, paying for groceries and are, are -- need solutions to it. >> if we want to get inflation down, i think continuing to make progress against the pandemic is the most important thing we can do. >> laura: that's my favorite a

. >> ron klain every morning starts his day by checking the price of the average gallon of gas certainly front of mind for this white house. but still 3.6 unemployment and almost return to the number of jobs since the start of the pandemic. sam, stick around. we'll have more later in hour on the jobs report. and why the lower number might actually be a good thing. we'll speak with one of the president's top economic adviser. plus today marks 100 days of the war on ukraine. we'll get a live report from the country and speak with the ukraine ambassador to the united states. also ahead, the latest from day two of the queen's jubilee celebration in london. we'll be right back. i joined tht attorney's office to pursue justice for everyone. but like so many of my colleagues, i resigned in protest because chesa boudin interfered in every single case and failed to do his job. the office is absolutely in disarray right now. chesa dissolved my unit prosecuting car break-ins. now criminals flock to san francisco because there are no consequences. we can't wait. how do we ensure recthat san francisc

. >> tucker: keep in mind, ron klain, the white house chief of staff is reminding the president who hethat is happening, many actual americans who live in the country can't afford to drive their cars or buy groceries. but no one in washington seems concerned about this. the economy is fine as far as they are concerned. in fact, democrats say it's the perfect time to splurge. for real. bill pollution is tracking the story for us. hey, bill appear to speak of that is right. there's an of media figures and politicians alike who seem to be telling americans, don't believe your lying eyes when it comes to the prospect of a recession. the chairman of the federal reserve certainly doesn't seem too worried as he was literally whistling around washington today, as fox's hillary vaughn was trying to question him here take a look. >> chairman powell, said the president should stop calling it prudent's price hike. he told lawmakers that inflation started well before the war in ukraine so should he stop saying it is putin's price hike? >> "washington post" columnist demanded that americans who are

you have a situation is that ron klain running the white house in running the president.of staff. joe biden is the first lady, barack obama the former president at this point. the thing is speaking of barack obama and bill clinton for that matter in their first term they were pulling that well either not like joe biden who is pulling lower then any first-term president and pulling history you're talking truman to trump but at least with obama and clinton they were in their 40s and you thought maybe the best days are ahead they need experience and they went on to win reelection because in clinton's case he pivoted towards the middle with joe biden you only know that it's gonna get worse as he gets older will be 80 in november. most americans now, the one who got more votes than any president in presidential candidate history. they don't want, that is telling, the problem is there is no plan b to backfill joe biden. elizabeth: there is an issue they should be transparent with american people, tell them what's going on he said to bring in a ransoms. now we have democrats com

wasn't hard to predict, we predict that it months ago, it was obvious even then, lunatic, pushed by ron klain runs the country. we said that out loud we were denounced as traders for it. here the original argument. in order to fight tyranny, the united states must embrace collective punishment, hurt the children to bring justice. these are our values because vladimir putin is a moral monster. these are not traditional western concepts of justice, but joe biden or heartedly endorses nimitz otis the dominant bipartisan coalition in the united states congress. the question is is this a wise course? thinking through world changing policies in any way before enacting them, pausing to reflect, we have learned, is disloyal. adult moral calculations or treason, thinking about your own country is a crime. the immediate goal, again, the bipartisan goal, is to turn russia into a pariah state. again, the question isn't whether vladimir putin deserves that. it's more than a moral question. the question is how will that work out for us and for the world? american citizens have a right to ask that question.

i think the people behind the throne who are actually running this government whether it's ron klainknows who is actually running the government i think they love it they have this cardboard cutout that takes all the flack off of them. if they can put hillary clinton up as the next cardboard cutout for 2024, that works just fine with them because, remember what barack obama famously said five days before he was sworn into office and that was we're going to transform the government of the united states i guess so. they don't like a free republic very well. so they are doing everything they can to dismantle a free republic and put in place something that we no longer recognize in this country. so, hillary clinton is their new cardboard cutout for 2024. because they have got to have somebody run in 2024. and apparently pete buttigieg his numbers aren't high enough. kamala's are in the tank. so there is nobody out there that they can run. i think it's hilarious. special on the day jillane maxwell gets 20 years in the slammer riding on the lolita express with bill clinton. interesting tim

white house chief of staff ron klain has become absorbed by the checking the price of a gallon of gasthe cost of because gas station billboards are so ubiquitous throughout the country. what about this and the impact that gas prices, everybody does feel it every day. >> well, i think you can't get away from the fact that if you pull up to a gas pump and you have any size vehicle and it's not an electric vehicle, you get walloped again and again and again. election after election after election this fall will be fought over gas prices from the west coast to the east coast from the north to the south. every american consumer gets hit and as guy just pointed out, the president con k. send market signals that bring down the cost of gasoline by opening up production. he will could do it yesterday. he can do it today. he can do it tomorrow. >> bret: all right. we are going to take a look at the midterms. i asked each of you to take a race to focus on on comment on. mara you have got one. >> i have the pennsylvania governor's race where doug mastriano is the republican. josh shapiro is the d

he hauled in ron klain and asked about the purpose of the event.et to hear back. martha? >> martha: thanks, rich. with that, we bring in mike pompeo, former secretary of state. distinguished fellow at the hudson institute. great to have you with us today. >> great to be back with you. >> martha: i want to replay that sound bite from president biden when he was asked what he hoped to accomplish while on this trip that they're about to announce to saudi arabia. >> there happens to be a larger meeting taking place in saudi arabia. that's why i'm going. it has to do with national security for israel. i have a program -- anyway, it has to do with larger issues than having to do with the energy. >> okay. can you untangle that for us? >> no, martha, i can't. i'm not sure he can untangle that. he's got himself in a place. he said things that were deeply inconsistent. he said wanted to make saudi arabia a pariah state. what a important security partner they are for us, an important contribute tore the global economy and when you have a leader in saudi arabi

i contributed to a story today that notes that white house chief of staff ron klain every single daycks the price of an average gallon of gas, and ruefully, and at times colorfully, exclaims, wonders why it's the one price that everyone knows. because it's on the billboards of the highways. and there's a sense month the white house and biden advisers, that it is inflation and gas and groceries, those costs in particular, that will be the number one issue in the mid terms. the mass 1450dings, war in ukraine, ongoing pandemic, but the pocketboor issues they believe will be the driving force for voters and bad for democrats. president biden wanting more inflation events, but making it clear there's only so much he can do. a key moment as they point the finger to powell, look, this is the face of the response. the white house's hands are largely tied. >> to that point, the president did meet with the fed chair and the treasury secretary yesterday during this hour. secretary yellen called it manageable last year. here's what she's saying now. >> i think i was wrong then about the path tha

. >> sources tell me that white house chief of staff ron klain is every day checking gas prices. >> soand that may be your next job perhaps. and certainly gas is the biggest part of this. but we've seen prices up across the board because of inflation. and we heard from fed chair jerome powell interesting not only one interest rate hike but previewing another may be down the road. tell us more about that. >> yes, you could obviously say this is an aggressive stance from the fed and many thought it would be 50 basis points, and then 75 basis points, and now 50 to 75 is on the table for july. he started out in the press conference, and john, thinking about an overarching message, to bring inflation back down and moving expeditiously to do so. that can tell you what the fed is focused on there. is a risk here though. and the fed projections showed it themselves. when you are hiking this aggressively, that means that they are now saying that there is going to be slower gdp, so gdp will be below 2%, and then also, the unemployment rate will rise. so there is this risk that it will not be a s

well, professional twitter user ron klain tweeted a chartg containing the same just days ago.soe is it what's the talking point? what does the white housese saying here ?he well, the free beacon crunched the numbers and it turns out the claim is based on af comparison of four f yearav averages that includes the tremendohe is a drop in economic activity at the start of c covid.ot here now is arkansas senator tom cotton. senator , they're playing games with the numbers. it's so obvious and exxon responded to biden's idiotic letter tonight and basicallyre confirmed what we already knew that the administration is making the oil production issuei much worse. y yeah,es laura , i guess we shouldn't be surprised that the gang of eight gave us eight and a half percent. inflation is bad at math . it's also very coincidental that all these oil company executives became so greedy just when joe biden took office. the reason we have five dollars a gallon gas is because of joe biden's policies and it's the exact design of joe biden's policies. remember on the campaign trail, he and all those

the speech was already written, but after the president learned of the ruling by a chief of staff, ron klain, he then tweeted about and we saw him come out and say that basically, it was a solemn moment for the country. now, the president noted how justices appointed by both democrats and republicans for essentially decades upon decades have upheld this ruling as precedent. and we saw him just earlier in that clip really lay some of the blame at his predecessor, former president trump's feet, really naming him something that he rarely does. now, in terms of the way forward here, boris and krchristi, the president outlined really two steps. first, he said it's going to be incumbent upon americans to really use this to anger them and get them to the ballot. >> this fall, roe is on the ballot. personal freedoms are on the ballot. the right to privacy, liberty, equality, they're all on the ballot. >> reporter: so in addition to pitching it to the midterms in november here, the president also said that he would do everything in his power to at least protect some of the protections that women have

ron klain, chief of staff to the president ignores issues plaguing the white house, he says america feelser things have been in the news? >> our first challenge was to try to make progress on covid. america feels more like itself again. stuart: less interesting. been dominic is with me. i want to know does america feel more like itself again? >> absolutely not. every indication we have is indication of concern whether justified or not, we don't feel we have any confidence in our leadership and for ron klain to continue to advance this completely fanciful approach in the teeth of all these poll numbers indicating how bad things will go for his party in november i think it is completely unjustifiable and irresponsible for him to do this. it is whistling past the graveyard and i think it is going to be something that turned into a backlash because people will say this was the white house that was asleep at the wheel, didn't have what they needed to get things done and were in denial all the way. stuart: you can probably say that after the election, won't be many firings from the cabinet or a

according to the washington post, joe is lashing out at his own staff, even his chief of staff, ron klain. biden also frequently is blaming florida senator rick scott for some reason, according to joe . rick scott is responsible for all of our economic woes. he's one senator , not a joke as he likes to say. not a joke, for god's sakes. it's rick scott's fault anyway. now senator scott is responding in a strong way. >> take a look. joe biden has destroyed america's economy. it's time to be honest with the american people. joe biden is unfit for office and should resign. senator rick scott, wisconsin has a problem. i'm rick scott from florida and i do have a problem and so does every american. biden is forcing america into a recession. i've got a plan to turn our country around. take a look at rescue america. >> i approve this message. all right. here now with reaction, florida senator rick scott. i'm not sure why you take up so much space in his head , but apparently you do. he mentioned your name frequently, which i guess is a compliment. so he really has destroyed the economy. forty one

the problem is that the people around joe biden, his chief of staff, ron klain, susan rice to name two among many are empowered by having this husk they liedte house so about joe biden's physical and mental state four years and the media have helped them. there's the unique over at cnn bragging about joe biden's bike riding abilitieses of all things you hardly hear about covid aty all. im they have shifted to big time biden bashing instead. you know what this is? this is negative partizanship in action. what the heck is going on on these programs? look at what fox news saw on saturday at rehoboth beach, delaware. this is joe biden out there on a vigorous bike ride, not wearing a helmet but definitely wearing a mask. by the way, fox news narrative and talk radio's narrative for months has been the joe biden is falling apart. you justhe conspiracy fallingth apart and there he iser riding a bike for a bike ride. >> he had a mask on on a bicycle. so if that's not prima fascia evidence of dementia, what ist it exactly? we're not a doctor. marc siegel is a doctor though.a he's our doctor .pe

an if you're ron klain and the chief of staff, you've been in that seat. >> what do you do right now? you walk into the oval office and say, mr. president, it's not working out. you'reu' not happy. i'm not happy. let's find a replacement to start this thing over because they need a reset. you know, if you if you took the s.a.t. today and just see every single time you'd have a better score than what joe biden has done, that is an indictment. right. and joe, we've got to leave right there. thank you both for breaking itmo down this morning or this morning. i'm a foxox a friends guy.th it'sis the evening. sorry, guys .so all right.rr now beyond all of biden's blunders and beyond all his baffling and bizarre moments, failed energy policy is still actually at the center of joe biden's struggling presidency. remember, it's biden who surrendered agenda to the fringe far left climate alarmists from day one , those folks who want to ban fossil fuels. and it's joe biden who can'tca solve the keystone xl pipeline. it's joe bidennc who's refused o unleash the power of america's energy sector and

and what we're today, ron klain, the chief of staff is expected to stay through the midterms althoughad conversations with people about what his next steps might be. the white house says that he has not set any time line for his time as chief of staff. but, look, president biden, anyone who's covered him knows he's very loyal. he has staff who's been with him for a very long time. he's not someone who likes to fire people or get rid of people. unlike the trump administration and this administration, firing people or getting rid of people is not seen as a message of strength. it's more seen as a weakness or admitting that something is wrong. so, what we're told is that things are like -- largely here to stay, until after the midterms. >> so, mike, what's your sense of the frustration inside the oval office, specifically with the president? because really if you look down the road there's not a clear moment where things get better before the midterms. >> 75% wrong track. the price of gas is six, seven bucks in some places. groceries through the roof. it's hard to see how things get bett

remember when ron klain said a year ago oh i high class problems?s not a high class problem. blue collar families can skip vacations but they need the gas to get to work and electricity to cool the houses. they need to eat. this is every time you pay now for a tank of gas, it's like a tax. it's just something you have got to pay for being an american and having a car and living the life these days. >> ainsley: gas buddy guy tweeted this out. americans are now spending $730 million more every day on gasoline than a year ago. june alone could cost americans 20 billion more to fill up their gas tanks vs. last june. and there is a gas station in saint anthony, minnesota. that sums things up pretty nicely with this sign that reads: we hate our gas prices, too. and the owner his name is chuck grass. he says his hands are tied. at least he can help his customers smile. >> steve: if you don't have humor about it you will sit there and cry. we actually got a bunch of email from you folks and would love to hear your points of view as well rick emailed us he s

ron klain is the head of one cabal group, there's some green worker to thes in charge of another cabal group and you go through each interest group, they are all vying for biden's mind and the last thing he hears going out the door is what he mumbles when he repeats his word salad of nonsense. so that is who is running washington, you have a whole bunch of rino republicans committed to keeping the swamp in place and they are all bought off by -- most from by big pharma, wonder -- four doses, we've got people in washington making a ton of money off of big pharma, never once wanted to mention i from actor nor anything that might mediate the disease. you've got the rinos and there and that is why i think the next two elections are critical. if the twee 7 senate candidates, they could do it, if they all win, that would change the republican makeup by 14%. %. if you bring those 7 in and they are committed and to do what they say they are going to do, no guarantees, better than the other guys. if they do what they say and come in, you could then see the next echelon of the ted cruzes and ric

supply but they continue to hammer the producers of oil and natural gas and there is now talk among ron klainur offshore drilling even more than we already have maybe even banning it completely. >> that's the talk right now it seems like they want to double down on the bad policy. it doesn't seemed like they are feeling the pain that the american people are going through. they are continuing along the bad path. it is really shortsighted they think they're good to be able to change the world by themselves. europe is not what you be able to meet their carbon neutral blueprints that is proven by what's happening now for president biden to not change course is a really big mistake. david: by the way were going in the opposite direction of a cleaner environment because were forced to use more coal so are the europeans their opening oil plants that had been shattered because of the fact they don't have enough clean natural gas and that's causing huge problems. we are getting dirtier as a perusal of green policy. it's absolutely contrary and logic. thank you very much, good to see you. challenges by

you know, rewind even further than a lot of what you just said and chef of staff to the president ron klaint started saying these are high-class problems. this is not an administration that has sympathized or showed empathy with the american people over what they've been going through as far as messaging. you have insight to what it is like inside the white house trying to deal with a crisis like this. how could they be doing better? what should they do now? >> you said something very important. jen psaki pretended it was a high-class problem. people can't get treadmills from the supply chain. when you don't empathize with people you won't convince them you have the leadership skills necessary. remember the forgotten man, woman and child were central to the trump/pence victory and four years in the white house. and you did have a president constantly saying what did i promise and say and how can we do it? this white house they pretend they can't do anything about the problems and to your point, when you have the president -- you have half the personnel leaving for whatever reason, 13 high-l

certainly i think there is talk of maybe replacing people all the way with up to chief of staff ron klainomplaints of some of the president's top aide as. there were a number of economists on the democratic side that did predict if this. not all economists came to the same conclusion this was going to be the transitory, so that on its face is also false. and then just one more thing on the way the white house -- [inaudible] they are talking about all the bright spots in the economy, right? the jobs numbers, but that risks the perception that they're totally out of touch on this. if they're talking about how great the economy is, and that's not matching up with people's lived experiences. neil: every time they go to that gas pump. sarah westwood, thank you very much. we do have some good news on this whole baby formula thing, kinda. on her green investments with merrill. a-plus. still got it. (whistle blows) your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. your shipping manager left to “find themself.” leaving you lost. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed

ron klain has that same role today. physically the west wing is an incredibly small place, and there is one hallway that is the chief of staff's office that went into the hallway, the oval office in the middle of it, and the national security adviser's office at the other end. that person, it's not a long hallway. you can see who's going in and out of the office. you hear what's going on. you hear from the valet, and you also see the paper flow. everything that is going to the president, everything that is going to the chief of staff is going to cross the desk of somebody like cassidy hutchinson, and they're going to have relationships with people like the white house counsel and people like the valet who actually make the white house run. anyone questioning how someone so young would have so much knowledge, when i was the closest aide to the president for four years, the person in that role would know more than me. if he was doing this regularly, this is someone who's so temperamentally, profoundly unfit for the office

ron klain is probably about 90% of the executive branch of the government.the day-to-day operations and when you have a leader like that who sort of disengaged, the chief of staff takes on a tremendously important role. klain is a lot more liberal than biden has been traditionally. i think that's why you're seeing the whole administration lurch to the left is because the team that they have built is a hard core left wing team and they don't understand. you see a press secretary who says what we need to do is drill more. that doesn't solve the problem. you see a team blaming corporate greed for inflation when really it's the supply of goods into the marketplace, vis-a-vis the amount of dollars chasing those goods. have you folks who don't understand the economy as it works and that's -- again, that's what worries me. it doesn't bode well for the next two years. maria: isn't it true that he's had so many executive orders that have discouraged oil companies from drilling and discouraged working with fossil fuel companies. look at all the new rules at the securi

we've seen, for example, his former white house press secretary general khaki, ron klain, chief of staffot had conversations with hunter biden. i have to tell you the voicemails, what we are seeing come out of the laptop, brings up a lot of questions and puts joe biden in a very difficult position and quite frankly i'll be curious to see if any other media outlets are going to cover this topic because we know it's taken a very long time for mainstream media to even focus and admit that there was a hunter laptop out there to be reviewed. dagen: the new york post covers it, don't they, ryan, even when mainstream media and twitter shuts them down. family business. i think you're clear. they were doing more than talking about it, maybe. ryan: this is a gift from a god this laptop. the chinese tycoons was caught giving bribes to african officials. these are the people that biden are doing business with and essentially these are the people that they are in cahoots here. dagen: this is not a hunter biden story, it's a joe biden story. >> that's right, this is a story joe biden doesn't want the

because we see president biden can't do it and that is an opening question, is it valerie jarrett, ron klainas his former staffers in there, barack obama reliving a third term through president biden? i don't know the answer to that but i listen to your "my take" and it was excellent when you mentioned peach -- petebuttigieg, he was outraged he had to drive from new york to dc. the problem is he has staffers, he was traveling on the government's dine. the flight was canceled but he didn't pay one hundred dollars to fill his tank him he didn't pay $5 a gallon and if he had, he would be outraged like every other american in the problem is they are not living in the reality you and i and all your viewers and every american is living with, high gas prices, canceled flights, can't bile the food you want at the grocery store, can't buy meat, they don't get it because they don't live it. when they get a taste of what it is like to have a flight canceled, he lost his mind. he was upset over this. think if he took a dollar out of his own pocket and pay for the gas on that trip really would have been

>> you're probably not going to believe theiris, joe, but i havo idea >> ron klain >> nobody talks toey wouldn't. >> i think you dance with the ones who took to you the dance, right? so when you look at it -- >> is that bernie? >> if you're honorable >> okay. all right, heidi, thank you. governor, senator, you're not jealous. he's a governor senator, you're just senator, heidi. >> c >> you can correct that. >> thanks, see you later >>> coming up, kramer's first t take -- we're going to bring you interviews with jim coulter, eric schmit. and ken chenault make sure to watchful coverage of the festival. we'll hear from jessica alba bumble, wells fargo and so much more all coming up on jacsquawk new c? we got iphone 13s, too. switched to verizon two minutes ago.

is ron klain going to fire himself? >> it's bizarre. staff who the president is. again, giving the white house credit, these are a lot of anonymous sources. maybe nbc botched it. but it did seem to be a lot of sources, at least according to their reporting. i'm glad they clarified that he is in charge and when he walks back things like saying he's going to he respond to a chemical weapons attack in kind and clarifies that, that that is coming from him. maria: that's right. >> that's a good thing. you want him to clarify we're not going to use chemical weapons. we don't want regime change for putin. maria: jake sullivan clarified, to be clear. jake sullivan clarified it. .>> or we're going to come to the military defense of taiwan. if joe biden is not clear, the staff better be clear for him. joe, stay on prompter. don't deviate. if you do, clean up on aisle 6. maria: stay right there, the next hour of "mornings with maria" begins right now. ♪ maria: good wednesday morning, everybody. thanks very much for joining us this morning. i'm mar

at this point even though we have a general idea who he is, chief of staff susan rice, ron klain, variousuniverse they don't want to lose that because they will not be masters of the universe if president biden does not run again. stuart: there is a vested interest in the people pulling the strings now keeping the guy in place. >> having it be this way it his policy is almost like being in a virtual reality, we don't really exist when they make these decisions about gas and everything else. he skipped a meeting with oil executives to attend to drop by the wind meeting. that tells you he's not serious about changing any of this. and this is about long-term transition area policies they are committed to? it will continue to destroy lives, they don't care, that's the disturbing aspect. all of this can change. it must be an undeniable signal. stuart: i hope i never cross you. >> i don't think you will. none of us want to -- i would rather be doing happy talk and being on a cooking show but we can't, we have a country to save and businesses to save, individual lives matter who they aren't no m

. >> ron klain running the country susan rice?ral command structure, that is responding in good timely fashion. steve: do you think biden is going to last out this term? >> you know steve it is very hard to say that, i mean i look at him the way he moves, that -- and the fall last weekend, hard to see how he continues for another two and a half years, i think the midterms will be a very significant factor in what the democratic party demands from him. maria: i am sure you are right michael come back soon thanks very much, love having you here michael goodwin york post" thank you, sir. . we'll be right back. . , voya provides comprehensive solutions, and shows me how to get the most out of my workplace benefits. voya helps me feel like i got it all under control. voya. well planned. well invested. well protected. >> the day you get your clearchoice dental implants makes every day... a "let's dig in" day... >> mm. >> ...a "chow down" day... a "take a big bite" day... a "perfectly delicious" day... >> mm.
