On this just moments ago. Listen here. And the president has said he wished he didnt call this the Inflation Reduction Act. What should you call it . Well, he said following that sentiment because i think its a complicated bill that it also has reduced costs and i think its very important to note that both on healthcare and as i noted on the energy side we have already seen costs coming down. John are they . I mean, gas is nearly four bucks a gallon again. Gillian home prices are up. John are americans really feeling any relief as john suggests they are . Im john roberts. Good to spend another hour with you. Gillian you as well, john. Gillian turner in for sandra. Trying to narrow Donald Trumps polling lead. John only one clear frontrunner and that is the former president. Florida Governor Ron Desantis and tim scott are the two main contenders for the top spot. Gillian the majority of Republican Voters agree trump is in the best position to beat trump in the general, 28 are arguing for ron desantis. One week away from the very first republican debate. Lets get right to peter doocy, he joins us from the north lawn of the white house. Peter, are folks buying the president s economic agenda . Just about every Economist Writing about the Inflation Reduction Act today is saying the reason that inflation has come down at all over the course of the last 12 months is because the cost of energy has come down over the last 12 months. Not because of the ira. If inflation remains 0, he will hold the record of the century for the most inflation any president has in america. They are trying to take credit for the disastrous economy they are solely responsible for. And big time buyers remorse. Senator joe manchin was there on the stage for the signing, you see him screen left. His vote was critical for passing the bill but today he says Going Forward i will push back on those who seek to undermine this significant legislation for their respective political agenda and that begins with my unrelenting fight against the Biden Administrations efforts to implement the iras a radical Climate Change agenda instead of implementing the ira passed into law. White house officials did let it slip the largest Government Investment in climate ever but a year later it is costing roughly a third more for climate than advertised. More than a trillion dollars. We are talking about a the biggest, largest Climate Action investment ever as we were just talking about whats going on in maui and the extreme weather. These are all incredibly important things here. And listening to the White House Briefing with some administration officials, they talk about costs coming down a little but the climate part of this a lot. So expect to hear President Biden really lean in on that aspect of it. Even though theres no climate in the title. Gillian. Gillian all right, peter doocy from 1600 pennsylvania avenue. Thank you. John. John a catholic couple says they were shocked when they learned why their application to be foster parents was denied. After enduring hours of interviews, the couple says the State Of Massachusetts blocked their application over their religious beliefs on lgbtq issues. And now they are taking the complaint to the courts in a brandnew lawsuit. Our next guest wrote about it in his latest piece. Bill mcgurn, so we are talking about michael and kitty burke, 1 of 1. 4 million catholics in massachusetts, they were denied the application to be foster or adoptive parents, because their beliefs are insufficiently progressive. The home study showed they passed in flying colors, take children of different race, ethnicity, all sorts of things. They were even willing to take in siblings. But the study noted that they were not supportive of the the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, ethos, and therefore they would not be supportive. So because they were not supportive they were denied a child. Gillian thats right. John spoke with his guest last hour a little bit, bill, about how the stats show, and they are contested, that about one in every 10 lgbtqia plus child is abused at the hands of their own parents. So, give or take the accuracy of that. Its hard to see an Adoption Agency risking the physical wellbeing of a child that they are putting into a couples care. You know, the whole point of this, reduce risk to the children. Because of their religion . Does do the stats show that catholics are more incline to abuse their children . I the home study showed that they were very loving parents. Gillian my point, bill, if you dont mind, they have to have a policy so the policy is that if parents are against lgbtia people and believe they are sinners, its probably not safe to entrust lgbtia children in their care, or its more risky. I think thats a real stretch. You are implying because they dont believe in the sexual ethic of the dominant culture they are going to be lousy parents and be abusive parents. Gillian i didnt imply that. Well, thats what it says, if you think you are going to deny them because these people are likely to be a greater risk of abusing their kids, thats against First Amendment discrimination. I think they are going to win in court. I dont think its going to even be close. You know, back when another one decided, sam alito said the problem with the Majority Opinion doing it by the courts rather than the democratic work of the people, the problem with that is that they ostracize critics of samesex marriage, held as bigots and alito said it would not be a live and let live philosophy. There is one philosophy and if you are not part of it you are going to be canceled and thats what the burkes are counting on. John in fact, you quoted from oberg v hodges, samuel alito said, it will be used to vilify americans unwilling to assent to the now orthodoxy. Implications of the analogy, and simply meant states could not deny Marriage Licenses to samesex couples. Alito said its a cautionary tale, this is about that but expanded to cover other things and you believe the burkes get caught up in that . They do. And i think there are two Different Cases alito is involved. That is one and dobbs is one. I think dobbs is the right decision, returns it to the democratic process. All these predictions that abortion would be snuffed out and so forth. It wasnt. There are a lot of compromises and give and take because we have returned it to them, the democratic process. We have not done that with gay marriage and so forth and i think it creates all or nothing situations and doesnt leave people free to live by their own beliefs and run their own institutions because of those beliefs. They are ostracized, they were denied the right to have a family. John see how the case progresses in the commonwealth of massachusetts. Bill, good to have you on today to expand on your views. Gillian the hawaii wildfires are the deadliest in modern u. S. History. 106 people in maui are now confirmed deceased, hundreds more, possibly even 1,000, remain still missing. This as Search And Rescue crews are sifting through the devastation. William joins us from the island of maui. Hi, william. Good morning, you know, the search for victims and for answers continues today here in lahaina. But the survivors we spoke to, they are actually assessing their lives and their future. Very hard to see this. All my life, is all gone, in a minute. Not just me lost everything everybody. Everything is gone. This is the absolute worst disaster ive ever seen. Just the carnage, everything is burned. People had no time to get out of the way. Cadaver dogs and 100 Recovery Workers again are sifting through the ashes looking for jewelry or bones and teeth. Any soft tissue that pathologists can draw a dna sample. So far, they have obtained dna from 14 victims and 43 relatives who gave a swab because they believe they lost someone in the fire. I share 50 dna with my parents, with my brother. I share 25 dna with my aunt or uncle. So which taking a relative sample as a reference, running it against a sample from remains, we can look at the level of relatedness and identify the sample in that manner. And video from this man shows, appears to show downed power lines outside his house ignited the lahaina fire. Ok, so while the state is scrambling to find some temporary housing, hotels and condos, we found two guys who are actually found refuge in vans that were donated by a maui tour company. Ok, so listen President Biden is likely going to show up here on monday. The governor said yesterday he was going to stop any predatory developers from buying this land in lahaina using private attorneys and State Attorneys to prevent that from happening.

Mayor of a small minnesota town now is scrambling to keep people safe after the entire Police Force Quit en mass. Goodhues police chief had sounded the alarm over recruitment issues. Its one of many small towns that is now facing a major cop shortage. Garrett tenney joins us from the midwest newsroom with all the details. Whats your understanding as to why these officers quit . Well, a big part is money. There are so few people willing to be cops and cities of all sizes are desperate to have more officers. So the large cities can afford to pay cops more are scooping up a lot of the officers from smaller towns that just dont pay as well. Thats what happened in the small town of goodhue, minnesota, when all seven of its officers sent in their letters of resignation last week. Several trading in their 22 an hour jobs to join other departments nearby paying as much as 40 to 50 an hour and offering better hours to go with it. We were all a little bit blindsided by it. But we are resilient, and we are going to move forward. So but it is hard. The resignations should not come as much of a shock. The police chief warned officials that the small town policing they were used to would disappear if they didnt act. This has been three weeks now, is he row 0 applicants, nobody getting into the game. If you want to keep the p. D. Something needs to change dramatically and drastically and has to happen now. Similar scenarios in small towns across the country. Last month in warner, oklahoma, population 1500, the five stepped down under paid and overworked, and in missouri, nine officers resigned after a mayor was elected. County sheriff steps in to help fill the void and thats what the mayor of goodhue is meeting with the sheriff about. But its not the same, given a lot of sheriffs departments are also facing a lot of these same challenges with the shortage of officers. Gillian. Gillian Garrett Tenney in the chicago newsroom, thank you. John. John a live look at the white house where President Biden is about to mark the First Anniversary of his signature Inflation Reduction Act. But it was just last week when the president admitted that the Inflation Reduction Act had less to do with inflation than he originally boasted about at the time. Even the Mainstream Media suggesting that the bill is more about climate than lowering everyday prices. Lets bring in our economic panel, seth harris, former Acting Labor Secretary under President Biden and judy shelton is a former trump economic adviser and we should say welcome to both of you. You have not been on the program before. Good to have you. Seth, let me start with you if i could. President at every turn touts the benefits of bidenomics. But if its so good, why are so many hurting and why are the president s Approval Ratings so low . Well, we have to see how people react to the newest numbers. Inflation is down, jobs are being created at a steady, moderate pace. We are seeing workers wages rising faster than inflation. Unemployment at very, very low levels. A lot of people are still recovering from the shock of the pandemic. Recession, and also recovering from fairly high inflation, which has come down quite dramatically. So, i think there is still some unhappiness, uncertainty in the American Economy but workers are doing better than they have done in Something Like 50 years, and my hope is that we are going to see that continue even with the Federal Reserve raising Interest Rates and slowing the economy down. John judy, lets get you to take that on. True in the month of june wage growth was outpacing inflation, was 4. 7 year over year, june to june, and inflation was down to 3 in the month of june. But, for the previous ten months inflation had been running well ahead in many cases of wage growth. So workers were going backwards for the better part of a year. Thats right. And those losses and Purchasing Power can never be recovered. That is a sum cost and i think what americans sense is that the inflation is really because the government overspends. When you have the government making fiscal Transfer Payments as they did during covid and then indulging in excessive spending represented by the socalled Inflation Reduction Act, i think they realize thats whats driving the inflation. And so then you have this Odd Situation where what we would always call fiscal stimulus, when government spends more than it takes in, fighting against a Monetary Policy that is contractionary, so raising Interest Rates while the private sector takes a direct hit when you raise the cost of capital but the government can borrow whatever it takes to get the money it needs to engage in Deficit Financing for its own pet projects. John and call for number four here, still borrowing at a phenomenal rate. 1. 6 trillion in deficit in the first ten months of fiscal year 23, 5. 3 billion a day. Fiscal year 23 deficit, 131 of where it was in fiscal year 22. So, seth, the president touting the oneyear anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act, yes, inflation is down, no the Inflation Reduction Act does not deserve the credit. And one says i cant think of any mechanism it would have brought down inflation to date. And another with strong confidence mostly other factors that have brought inflation down. So, why is the president celebrating this afternoon . Well, because we are in the midst of an epic Climate Change crisis right now, john. And the Inflation Reduction Act represents the single largest investment in fighting Climate Change in the history of our planet. John so it wasnt about inflation. Well, it was in part about inflation. It does have the effect of bringing down costs, for example, medicare recipients are going to have lower Prescription Drug costs, a lot of peoples Healthcare Costs are going to be a lot lower because the Inflation Reduction Act and for the first time we are really taking on the issue of wealthy tax cheats getting away with not paying their fair share. So there is a Cost Component to the Inflation Reduction Act, but the climate aspect of it is really the most historic part of it. It is going to create huge numbers of jobs but most importantly its going to bring down those very dangerous Greenhouse Gas emissions that are threatening our planet, setting hawaii on fire, creating Triple Digit Temperatures around the country and cities that have never had them before, like portland, oregon, and it is going to help us to meet President Bidens goal of reducing Greenhouse Emissions by 15 in 2030. That is critical for our survival and important for bringing down costs. John i remember being in portland, oregon five years ago when it was 100. Not sure its the first time. If this was more about climate, why not called the Climate Change act and reductions. Pet project of the Biden Administration and Congressional Democrats and they sold it on the basis that over time it would it would ultimately increase economic output. Every Small Business person who goes to the bank also is hoping to get financing to finance their own dream which would be aimed at increasing goods or services. And to cover the Borrowing Costs and earn a profit in the process. But when you raise the cost of capital, which is whats happening with the fed, to cover the damage done by fiscal overspending, that ends up giving government the inside track. They are finance their projects but high Interest Rates are a real barrier to private enterprise. So i think people concerned about increasing Government Control over the direction of the economy should not like this dangerous combination of a fed thats willing to punish the private sector to address the fiscal errors that are being overseen by this administration. John we will look ahead to what the president has to say about it in his oneyear anniversary judy, seth, good to welcome you to the program. Good to see you again soon. Gillian.

That family, the tuohys are firing back saying hes trying to shake them down for 15 million. Jerry, what is ohers attorney saying . Hi there, gillian. In response to the tuohy family accusation, oher attorney don barrett says we try cases in the courtroom based on facts. We have confidence in our judicial system and our client michael oher. We hope to get there quickly. A lawyer for sean and leanne tuohy are alleging a shakedown after michael oher filed a petition to end his conservator ship, claiming he learned the family never legally adopted him, learning this year. Ignited a storm on social media, some say she should return the oscar she win, but the actor that played him said he was shocked by the unfortunate lawsuit. And calling the accusations hurtful and absurd and saying the former nfler received an equal cut of every penny paid. Proceeds were 14,000 each and that michael was paid as well. But according to ohers petition, the movie paid the tuohys and their birth children 225,000, plus 2. 5 of the films defined net proceeds.

In response to the tuohy family accusation, oher attorney barrett, he told nbc news they would try these cases in the courtroom.

John that whole thing is such a shame. Republicans are calling newly revealed hunter biden Text Messages more evidence of family corruption. In the 2018 messages viewed by fox news digital, hunter claims he paid his fathers bills for more than a decade. Latest Development Comes as uncertainty looms over a plea deal for the president s son. David spunt is live at the justice department. What are we waiting on now in this case, david . Waiting, imagine that, waiting for the judge, mary ellen noreika, federal judge, to mediate the sides. They are far apart. Three weeks ago today they were in the courtroom a few feet from each other ready to enter into the plea deal, and now could not be further apart. Special counsels Office Writing yesterday the government did not reneg on the previously agreed upon Plea Agreement as Hunter Biden Inaccurately asserts. Hes accused of lying on a federal gun form is valid because it was signed by both parties. Hunter bidens team concur the parties have a valid and binding bilateral agreement. The Special Counsel says not so fast, its invalid, null, void, the entire deal is void, even though signed by both sides. Its no wonder that hunters lawyers are going to be Fighting Tooth And Nail to keep that Diversion Agreement in effect. If they can. They are going to try to enforce it just like it were a contract, da gan. They were going to say we had an offer, we had an acceptance and a meeting of the minds and therefore we get our sweetheart deal. Believe it or not, it is possible hunter biden and Special Counsel david weiss may enter into a Plea Agreement in the future, despite the fact they are far apart now. But the Special Counsel is taking a different tone since hes been elevated to Special Counsel and the fact the original plea deal is off, john. John david spunt at the white house, the white house justice department, an arm of the white house. Well see which direction it goes. Fascinating, thank you. Gillian a week out until the first republican president ial debate here on fox news. Brandnew Power Rankings showing where the candidates stand right now, just five months until the first nominating contest. Bring in bret baier, anchor and Executive Editor of special report. Bret, thanks so much for being with us. You know better than anybody at these debates candidates entire political fortunes can turn on a dime. Trump is far and away the frontrunner, but there is real room for the other candidates to break through. The Republican Party is not in a lock right now. Bret no, every poll shows the former president up 10, 20, 30, 40 points. Quinnipiac today, hes up 29 over ron desantis. So, yes, thats a factor, but also a factor is the race to be the alternative. Because thats how this race comes down. 1 or 2 alternatives, to former President Trump and by the time you get to voting what people will be looking at. You are right. Debates are about moments. We are going to try to be equitable on the questioning and try to cover a lot of topics that people want to hear about. And ideally get candidates talking to one another to contrast what they think about the issues of the day. John i think the new fox news Power Rankings illustrate the case very well. Frontrunner, donald trump, two contenders, ron desantis and tim scott, which is interesting. People who are considered in the conversation, ramaswamy, haley, pence, christie and burgum, in terms are where they might find support, maga base is solid. 37 , 37 are persuadeable and 25 nontrump. You get 62 , enough to win. It is. We dont know whats going to happen with the legal cases. Every time hes had an indictment the former president has gone up in the polls and that has been true as of the latest indictment in georgia, the a. P. Sees him going up in the primary polls. But a lot of issues voters will want to hear from the candidates. Vivek ramaswamy is on the rise in polls as of late. I dont know if we have tracked that as closely, but he may be getting towards contender. John the video moment he had in iowa. Eminem, i dont know if its going to john where he was debating the lgbtq person. That was the same day, and you are right, should he have a good debate performance, who knows. There are chances for these candidates, to your point, gillian, and having done these many times before its always the unpredictable that gets picked up the most. Gillian what about first of all i read 18 weeks between the first debate and then january 15th, which is the iowa caucus which shocked me. I had not thought about it, it feels like a new season, a year, but the time is nearing. What do you make of the performance of the candidates so far in the runup to the debate. Its a tradition, annual event. I think they feel they have to touch that base. And Governor Reynolds is very popular there. She played a big role in doing some of the q a. So it was a mustsee for some of those candidates. Obviously the former president and Governor Desantis had big crowds when they went. Others, you know, average crowds. Its the Iowa State Fair. I think you talk about the 18 weeks, you are going to see several debates in between there. Obviously the next one on fox business, september 27th, from the Ronald Reagan library in simi valley and the rnc has not revealed what the rest of the schedule looks like. They will probably soon. John so i want to put up call four number three here, this shows the amount of support that trump has got with powerful people inside the party. 82 endorsements compared to all of the others, and what, about 14 for all of the others. He is so far out in front of everybody else that you wonder how you can touch him, which brings me around to the question. Does he think hes so far in front looking at next wednesday saying i dont have to be there, or looking at wednesday to say Chris Christie is going to be on the stage without me there to defend myself. Lambasting me and all the other candidates already telling americans how much better a job than me they could do if they become the nominee. And therefore does he say you know what, i need to be there. I dont know. I have no clue and we have been trying to define it and threw up our hands and said well be ready with two stacks of questions either way when we get to that day. But you are right. Without the former president on stage, other candidates will have more time and some will choose to take the former president head on even though hes not there. He will be there on the stage even if hes not there because hes a factor within the gop. John gillian was pointing out, the opportunity for debates to be a real Turning Point moment and if it comes from nikki haley or ramaswamy, you know, who knows which. They could propel themselves really catapult themselves, i dont want to say into the lead but a lot further ahead than now. Those endorsements are fascinating and the fact the former president took eight florida congressmen with him to the Iowa State Fair to say hey Governor Desantis, ive got your people, they are endorsing me. And the airplane, too. Gillian big Opportunity Costs for the former president if he decides not to participate, thats for sure. Thanks for joining us. John keep working on the questions, too.

And how many crew members were reunited today . Hi, john. Nearly 200 brave Service Members returned to the u. S. S. Intrepid, service and sacrifice on full display. Some of these were part of the initial crew from 1943. Phone operators, mechanics or emergency crew members during the time aboard the ship. Able to withstand some of the most severe attacks during world war ii and later served during the vietnam and cold wars. Decommissioned in 1974 and is now a museum. They flew from as far as california to reflect and remember. During the time in service, more than 250 Service Members paid the ultimate sacrifice on board. Admit a lot of men like myself that have been blessed to come back to intrepid one more time, and i always counted a privilege to come back to see the ship i served on and perhaps see some of the sailors i served with during those years. Every time i come aboard this ship its like a cemetery because we lost over 200 crew members. Freedom is not free. Freedom is not free. And people dont seem to understand that today. Among the crew members who returned to the u. S. S. Intrepid today, the oldest is 99 years old. So some of these veterans have clearly witnessed a lot of history and some of them will actually record their personal narrative today so it can be preserved. John. John i was going to say, c.
