Womens sports in texas. The Womennens Category is not a Retirement Plan for male athletes. Every year a half a million Motorcycle Riders come to south dakota for the largest Motorcycle Event in the country. Its called sturgis. And everyone is here to show some support for fox news. [cheers] they love fox friends. Ainsley one place he didnt stop while in arizona was at the border. Steve yeah. He was busy. Gillian turner joins us live from the white house with more. Gillian, thats the last place the white house wants him. Right . Definitely not stopping at the border on this trip, guys. The Vice President as well and the president are out on the trail. They are going with this twopronged message to highlight a year since the passage of the inflation reduction act. The president is in new mexico today. Yesterday he said this highlighting his clean energy agenda. Take a listen. I want to stop all drilling on the east coast and the west coast and in the gulf. The private sector is coming off the sidelines. They have invested 250 billion in alternative energy. Theres so much going on, finally, finally, no one can any longer deny that we dont have a problem with climate change. Well, the president s Energy Policies are yielding mixed results. Right now a gallon of gas averages 382 nationwide. That is down from a year ago. But is also just now hitting a new 8 month high. On bidens first day in the oval office, the average was 2. 38. Now, v. P. Harris is out there as well. She is singing the praises of socalled bidenomics. But she is also, interestingly, acknowledging to Union Workers that the economy is now working for most americans. Listen. For far too long our economy has not been working for working people. Trickle down economics benefited big corporations and the wealthiest americans. But not workers. Gillian so this Messaging Push comes obviously as the u. S. Credit was just downgraded. Nine other world economies have stronger Credit Ratings now than america. Also, as you guys well know, some major companies, tyson, fedex, cvs are busy baying off lots of workers. Ainsley you can tell that driver to stop backing up now. Wow. Gillian i know. Steve like a laser, completely focused. Good job. Ainsley great job. Brian that was one of the nine Wonders Of The World the grand canyon, great to see. It was good to see that the president likes the grand cannon. He really likes the grand cannon. Steve he did come back and said i said nine i meant seven. Brian right. Steve one of the interesting things about grand cannon area there have been a lot of republicans in that state and also people in the mining industry. They want to be able to mine that area for uranium. Because, keep in mind. The United States of america still relies on uranium and atomic power for 20 of our energy in the United States. And that is a prime area for it. The Wall Street Journal this morning says that joe bidens uranium ban is essentially a gift to Vladimir Putin and russia because rather than haul it out of the ground there, we actually import it from russia. Ainsley its been almost one year since the inflation reduction act. And kamala harris, our Vice President , was tweeting this this is bidenomics. And its working. But our question is if its working why are Interest Rates so high . Why are gas prices as gillian was just revealing so high and have gone up almost 30 cents over the last three months. Why are people making hardship withdrawals from their 401 k s . Brian usually a sign desperation. 36 increase from the Second Quarter of 2022. Also, you have a country now that has borrowed 1. 6 trillion over the past 10 months because were overdrawn because of the president s ridiculous spending. Many of which were jammed down our throats on a simply party line vote. And thats the bad part about lifting the debt ceiling. There is no sense for either side to be fiscally responsible for at least two years. And the president is taking the most of that. Now, he had a 220 billion deficit for july. Please tell me how bidenomics is working in The Big Picture . He loves the jobs numbers but do you like Worker Participation Numbers and do you like where the Interest Rates are and whats doing to housing . Steve yeah. Ainsley, to your point about the hardship withdrawals of your 401 k , keep in mind if you are in a situation where you need to take money out of your 401 k Retirement Account before you are 59 and a half. There is a penalty and you have got to jump through a lot of hoops. But goes show you the desperation. It appears most people who are in that situation before they take the money out of their 401 k , they will drain their Savings Account or they will use their credit cards. Ainsley its a last resort. Steve so Credit Card Debt right now end of june is 1. 03 trillion. Thats up about 45 billion. Just goes to show you how desperate people are. We were talking to somebody who is very desperate. A woman by the name of jessica mccabe. She put out a tiktok about how her kids. Her Adult Children in their 20s cannot get ahead. They did everything right. She said work hard, go college. They did that. They cant afford anything. Watch this. Not 1998 anymore. We have to, are as parents, realize that the economy has changed. I understand inflation. Prices always go up. I think that, lately the wages are not keeping up with how big the inflation has gotten. I went out yet again with my son to try to go find an apartment he could afford. We kept getting back drops. Half the places i felt like should have been condemned that he could afford. The other half are wanting four times your rent. I hear all the other gen zs and millennials in my comments saying they finally feel seen. Us as gen x we forget its not the same as it is now for our kids. We think we did it they should be able to, too. We need to be their advocate. I didnt have kids to watch them suffer their entire life. Brian there is always the option of getting another job which a lot of people did early on, too. I dont know what her specific situation is i question the politics of it. Just politics. If you are the president of the United States and you sit counsel with your briefers and your campaign people, if he, in fact, does. Say should i be economy. Whats the downside of doing this . Im going over to arizona which i only won by a few thousand votes, is this the message thats going to knock it out of the park allow me to keep that state. Without that state you arguably are not going to win. I question whether telling a bunch of people that green energy is the future, is that going to get your undecideds and get your moderates . What its going to do is make Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders somewhat happy and the feel way to the left who are already sticking with you, they have nowhere to go. Bernie sanders and Elizabeth Warren are suing the oil and Gas Companies for drilling and doing their jobs and making profits. And manipulating, they say, people against climate change. No, a lot of people say yeah, the climate is changing. I am not sure were responsible for it. Nor i do think its in the best interest of our company to do things like jam electric cars down our throats when we cant afford them. There is no infrastructure. And they dont want them. Thats part of the president s legacy. I really wonder who thought this was a good move. Steve i think he is trying to appeal to the, you know, the young people who he needs to vote for him next year. Because, and it was really interesting. Gillian just ran a sound bite from the Weather Channel. The Weather Channel asked a very political question which im used to dew points and humidity and stuff like that. Didnt you break a Campaign Promise to gen zers when you said you would limit the amount of drilling on federal policy properties. He said look my hands were tied. The courts made me do it. Everything joe biden does between now and election day is about getting him four more years with the keys to air force one. Ainsley clean energy thing. Brian thats not going to help the moderates and undecideds. Ainsley feels thats a false narrative we have listened to you and cut emissions. Brian so smart to do the Weather Channel obviously if you look back at what devon archer has been saying when the president and excuse me dan goldman has been saying, the congressman from new york, when the president did call in to those meetings all did he was talk about the weather. When he called in to the devon archer meetings. Is he good with weather. He wants to be with the Weather Channel. Ainsley talked about business dealings. Brian talked about weather. Thats why this Weather Channel interview was so up his alley. Ainsley lawrence has good weather out in sturgis for the Motorcycle Rally. Hello. Steve hes in the tent. Lawrence thats right. Good morning, family. Of course im here at sturgis, let me tell you guys if im going to come out with some bikers im going to get a little bit of drink and pancakes as well. Daniel, you can make 24 pancakes in two and a half minutes . 24 pancakes over two and a half minutes or so. Lawrence what is the mission of the sons of life . Feed the masses. Make people happy. Spread the word. Lawrence what is that word . God is good. Lawrence god is good all the time. Lets talk with some folks. Who out here is proud to be an american . [cheers] [chanting u. S.

Lastly, man, why do you come back to sturgis every year . I work here and i love woody and christi and she is supposed to be here. Lawrence she will be here very soon. Great. Lawrence its so great to be back here in stirges. [chanting u. S. A. Lawrence going to get some pancakes and come back and next hour the great governor of south dakota Christie Gnome is going kristi noem is going tojoin us. Brian all those people there to see lawrence. Steve no, they are there for the free pancakes. Brian i think its lawrence. Steve i think its pancakes. Brian according to a new trend in our country in an effort to retain teachers they have now gone to a four day workweek, lend lengthed the da. Giving that you one actual day off and i believe in most cases it is monday. Is this what we should be doing to get our kids caught up after the 18 months in hibernation in hyper space with a lack of learning with our numbers plunging. Ainsley in 2019, 650 districts did this now this year 850 districts going to do it. Missouri, denver, phoenix, san n antonio, just to name a few. They say its less bullying. Cuts costs. Brian less bullying . Steve yes, they do. Brian i cant believe that. Ainsley more family time. Meaningful Learning Loss in math and english. Brian less bullying. All the bullying hans on monday. Steve thats whether a it success in the report reread, brian. The main three reasons and this is largely in rural states but now metropolitan areas are starting to do this to save money because you only have to have four days workweek for the employees. Reduce Student Absences and to keep and get teachers because, listen, if you if you are a teacher and its like okay, i could work for that School District for five days a week or that one for four days a week. Ainsley make the same amount of money. Steve the four day a week thing is 35 minutes extra every day that they tack on it, you are going to go with that because then you have three extra days as the weekend. Its a pickle though for families if you work who is gf going to watch your kids. They will in districts go ahead and charge for day care 30 bucks a day. Still, we all want more if everybody could have three days together as family, that would be fantastic. But then again, to your point, about are they learning what they need to be learning in the answer is at this point we dont know for sure but it doesnt look like it. Brian well, but the it this way. Teachers get the summers off, four day workweek. I would just look to pay them more to work five days because the objective is number one teachers are under appreciated. Not on this couch. Maybe there is too much management. Too many supervisors, too many superintendents. Worth looking at. If you want our kids to catch up, which, as a country, we should. Steve right. Brian this is not the way to do it. Steve if you pay teachers more money thats going to come out of taxpayer money. Nobody wants the taxes to go up. So, for a lot of these School Districts and the number of School Districts doing it is going up, they are saying give you more time we cant give you more cash. Ainsley they deserve more money. They work really hard. They spend money out of their own pocketbooks to pay for supplies. My sister and my mom taught the little ones. Art projects much to be created much came out of their salaries and they didnt make a lot. Steve yeah. Ainsley what do you make of this four Day School Week how will that impact you as a parent. Email us at friends at foxnews. Com. I would say personally i would love it because i have the rest of the day off. I would spend my fridays with my daughter. Brian if you host a morning show. If you have to do Martha Mccallum that might be a problem at 3 00. Ainsley martha may not like it her kids are grown. Brian outnumbered might be an issue. Steve on the other side. Ainsley make it all about us. Steve other side of the issue is if your Public School is only working four days a week, wouldnt it be great to take your money and put your kid with a voucher in a private school, a Parochial School or Something Like that so they get five days of education if five days of education is actually better than four days. You know, the jury is still out on that. Ainsley they are in school to learn more. Steve thats the idea. Ainsley if theyre not learning as much then this is not a great idea. Brian you cant convince me this is a good move but i understand people are desperate to get teachers. Ainsley what do you think of a four day workweek. Steve i love that idea. Ainsley brian works, his day off is sunday. Brian i just think that people got to be productive. The country has got to get going and working less makes us look more like france and denmark. I want to be american, we got work, people, thats what we do. Steve wouldnt you like to spend three days with your family . Brian no. Do they want to spend three days with me . Thats the problem. I think he i. Get on their nerves. Listener, send him to work. Ainsley dawn says agh. Steve carley you would love three d day with brock. Carley Great Being A mom. You sleep not at all. Spend a lot of time with your kids. Brian would work 8 days a week if you could. Carley we didnt become the number one country in the world by working four days and going to school four days a week. Brian singing ted song. Steve have to wake him. Car karl is he hard worker. Headlines to get. To say new overnight, a manhunt is underway in dallas after Undercover Police officer is hurt in a shootout with three suspects. Police say two of the suspects approached the victims unmarked car and started shooting. They then stole his car before abandoning it just up the road. The Undercover Officer is expected to recover. Listen to this. The mayor of tampa reels in 70 pounds of cocaine while fishing in the florida keys with her family last month. Mayor jane castor says her brother spotted debris in the water after taking a closer look, they noticed the tightly packaged white powder. The mayor contacted the local Sheriffs Department and the drugs were handed over to Border Patrol. Authorities say the cocaine has a street value of about 1. 1 million if you can believe it.

That restaurant i think its called gregory also give free tacos. Ainsley i thought taco bell is celebrating a win they did not win in new jersey. Steve one lawsuit was for 49 states and the other was just for new jersey. Carley taco story was a little complex i had to read several articles to digest it. Brian did you read it
