this changes that shift in the message from the white house as energy prices are rising in the u.s. >> high energy prices only, only reinforce the urgent need to a diverse array sources, double down on a clean energy, development and adapt promising new clean energy technology so we cannot only overwork, but remain overly reliant on one source of power to power the economy and communities. >> still the president amidst the move away from fossil fuels will not happen overnight, but those zero by 2050, right now according to aaa the price of a regular gallon of gas in the u.s. is at $3.40 a gallon up about 60 percent from year ago when the president has committed the u.s. along with other g20 leaders to end an investment cold plans, but they gave no end dates as republicans are saying it's all a waste of time, ahead of the largest polluter in the world is not here. >> in china the world's biggest admit is from this stuff not participating, but laughing at the united states and the rest of the world. >> the president said that he was disappointed that china was not was not here as well a

in fact it talks about workers pay up, and that is one area where the white house takes a victory lap because wages have gone up, but that's not a lot of help to the average american worker if the price of everything is going up at the same time. our friend steve moore makes this point this morning and says american consumers are paying a steep price for biden's policies, for tens of millions of americans who are not rich, transitory inflation is feeling more like runaway inflation. worker pay is rising at about 4 percent, that is the good news. the bad news is consumer prices are rising closer to 6 percent, which means in purchasing power terms, paychecks are shrinking. >> if you look at the piece that ron claimed tweeted out, he is citing the feds inflation the core inflation index which doesn't include his energy and it does include food. it doesn't include gasoline or home heating oil. it doesn't include the price of your turkey, may be the cost of the g.i. joe with a the thieme grapes for christmas, but that's about it. they're not talking about reality. we're not talking about t

the verdict came down as the white house press briefing was underway. jen psaki was asked about it and she said that the white house would try to get his statement out as soon as possible. it'll be interesting to see with the white house has to say about it because as you recall during the election campaign in 2020, joe biden tweeted out of the picture of kyle rittenhouse and talked about white supremacists. what's your perspective on what the world thought about kyle rittenhouse during this trial versus what the president when he was a candidate for office had suggested about him? >> let me give joe biden some advice. be very careful what you say because you are subject to a defamation lawsuit. there is not a single shred of evidence that kyle rittenhouse was a white supremacist. this is a statement joe biden is going to have to pay for and justify in the white house in my opinion or at least joe biden the candidate at that time titled -- tried to utilize it in his presidency. when he made that statement he had no facts to make that outrageous allegati

approval would kick off the final authorization process for the white house to begin rolling out shots for children. let's bring in a professor from medicine. good to see you. this is a house call, not telemedicine call. outpatient facilities are already taking bookings for the pediatric vaccine. we've got our kids signed up but there is some interesting polling. kaiser foundation survey, last time they surveyed people, october 2021, right away, would people get the vaccine, 27%, wait and see, 33%, definitely not 30%, compared to a month ago, 34% said they would get it right away but definitely not 24%. so there has been a real reduction in people who will get it right away and people who won't get it at all. so help parents. what should parents be doing? >> it's important for parents to know that covid-19 in children is a vaccine preventable illness so when kids get in the hospital and not only are at risk of dying, they are at risk of this multiinflammatory syndrome, there have been 2,500 kids documented in that age group 5-11. we're not just preventing death. we're preventing that m

rich edson's life from the white house. >> president biden says he stands by with the jury concluded. he says the jury system works and we have got to abide by it. he also released a longer statement right after the verdict that says "while the verdict in kenosha will leave many americans feeling angry, concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken. i remain steadfast in my commitment to do everything in my power to ensure that every american is treated equally, with fairness and dignity under the law." vice president, here is in tweeting "i spent a majority of my career workrking to make our criminal justice system more equitable. it's clear there's still a lot more work to do." about a month before the 2020 election, then candidate biden said then president biden donald trump refused to disavow white supremacist in their debate the previous night, he tweeted a photomontage of white supremacist, militia groups, and included a photo of kyle rittenhouse. the white house was asked about that video just ahead of the jury's decision. >> what i can reiterate for

we begin with white house correspondent jacqui heinrich traveling with the president in nantucket. >> good afternoon. the same day president biden tapped the nation's strategic petroleum reserve, the emergency stockpile for oil, to mitigate these high prices and crippling inflation. he went to nantucket to spend the holiday in his billionaire businessman friend's compound. david rubenstein inviting the biden family to stay at his estate. estimated to be worth more than $30 million. the white house did make sure to mention the president has stayed with rubenstein before and for context past presidents have stated wealthy friends over the holidays. president clinton with the democratic donor on martha's vineyard for one example. critics say that this day with the economy in a tough place shows president biden is out of touch with the problems facing working-class americans even as he tries to show them that he relates. the american farm bureau federation found last week the average cost for thanksgiving dinner of ten people reached an all-time high this year, up 14% from 2020. turkey pe

this is very quick action from the white house that came after the u.k. also restricted travel from south africa and seven neighboring countries. dr. anthony fauci said the u.s. was speaking with south african counterparts health officials to determine whether these travel restrictions were even necessary. they were examined aiding things like how quickly it is spreading and how quickly it could have protection from vaccines, those were two big determining factors in making this decision. dr. factory said there is no indication the virus is already in the u.s. it doesn't seem like we have that sound bite, but i will paraphrase what he said. dr. fauci said of course anything is possible but there's no indication the omicron variant is in the u.s. right now, there were seven cases that originated in south africa and you never really know where we are at. those were his words, said they are trying in real time to figure out exactly the path of this variant in which countries it has already spread to but also said there is no indication right now that the ver

and so the white house did admit -- they said only very briefly and for religious purposes. >> john: miranda, we've got just about 30 seconds left. within the intentions ratcheting up in this tangled web involving the bidens, what effect could this have on national security? >> well, i think it's very serious because there is definitely the potential that the biden family is compromised. joe biden, the present, is compromised in the eyes of china. and if there is the appearance of that, it weakens america's position on the international stage. i do think that joe biden should come clean about what his relationship was with hunter biden and his business partners and what his involvement was. >> john: the book is called "laptop from hell." miranda devine puts it all together in one place. randy, thanks for being with us. >> thank you, john. >> john: sandra, when you look at the relationship between president xi jinping where he says we are not friends, and xi jinping says oh, my good friend, joe biden. you've got to wonder how all of this fits together and how it is going to play out i

>> john: marc thiessen is a former white house speech writer. no parent, i'm a parent of twins is afraid to have them taught about slavery, lynching and ongoing societal problem but it's the lens through which many h many people want this taught that's an issue. >> that's 100% correct and this is the new line from the democrats and quite frankly from the liberal media. he said we're lying about critical race theory. no, they're not. last year the loudoun public schools paid $34,000 to equity collaborative for teaching teachers about critical race theory. "introduction to critical race theory." it says. quote. this is what they're telling them to teach. in c.r.t. racism is seen as an inherent part of american civilization. one of the parents was so concerned about this that they filed a public records request and they got the talking points. they were taught the culturally competent professional acknowledges he is aware of his own racist, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors and accepts responsibility for and agrees that addressing one's whiteness in

. >> john: the white house insists this will cost $1.75 trillion. janet yellen put out a statement yesterday saying it will reduce the deficit over ten years, but as aishah hasnie was pointing out, penn wharton had something different to say about it which was highlighted in "the wall street journal" editorial which said, "if all the provisions in the bill except green energy tax cuts are made permanent," which is the intention, "it will decrease while the tax revenue will stay at $1.55 trillion over ten years." that's a big hole in the budget. "the wall street journal" says it's a $4 trillion trojan horse. >> it is, 100%. joe manchin is not going to vote for $4 trillion, he just isn't. what they don't seem to understand is, when joe manchin said he was comfortable with zero, he meant it. this whole idea that joe biden comes out and releases a framework for this bill, and they are voting on a bill that they have not cleared with joe manchin. joe manchin isn't just another stakeholder or another person in the negotiations, he has a veto over this. th

he was talking at the white house briefing. i want to play the sound bite and get your opinion on the other side. watch this. >> i think truckers who are unionized have more of those protections in terms of their health and in terms of the compensation. gavin industry with 90% turnover, 90% per year turnover at the larger employers of truckers. it's clearly an issue with the quality of the job and one tool for improving the quality of that job is being a representation. >> trace: we've learned that a lot of the problems are because we have truck drivers that are not unionized trucks that are not environmentally friendly and they are not allowed to operate in the state. they are allowed to push the supply chain even worse. >> absolutely. this is a combination of failed policies that are coming to a head all at once, magnified by some of the challenges that are presented by the pandemic. we've raised our drivers to pay 21% and they were already among average. some of our top drivers were average over $100,000 per year and that's

they are asking the white house to take care. to ask you consider all tools available to lower gasoline prices. they hope to consider these tools and others to make gasoline more affordable for al americans. officials are always trying to balance ways to be replaced supplying 55 percent of the statewide propane needs. they want this to go away entirely in the shutdown could mean about 45 percent less crud in pennsylvania. listen to what we just heard in the briefing. >> what is the best possible outcome for whatever happens with this reduced output? >> we hope to engage constructively in these negotiations as canada has a close ally in the energy trade. these discussions between the two countries should be viewed as anything more than that and certainly not an indicator that we are going to shut anything down it is something we do not plan to do as it relates to the current pipeline. >> as of yesterday gas prices were pretty high on average. propane is up 54 percent. natural gas up 30 percent. they did not have an answer on when

they control the white house and the house and the senate. if they don't do this the level of incompetence required, i don't know biden has demonstrated that level of incompetence yet. but we can wait to see. if you think about it even if they succeed this is way below what they wanted. if you think about this bernie sanders wanted $6 trillion. biden wanted 3.5. they get 1.5, 1.75 something like that and it was just the tip of the iceberg of what they wanted. they wanted to pack the house and pack the senate. wanted to get rid of the filibuster to pass through all this radical agenda which they can't do because of sinema and manchin. they wanted to pack the security and add d.c. as a state. all of these things will not happen. so really this is -- if this happens, the scaled back bill will be the high point for liberals of the biden presidency. no next step to give them a victory. >> martha: some indications progressives are getting closer to agreeing to some version of this. it looks like as you say they have to pass something. they really c

let's check in at the white house with peter doocy. not a number they wanted to see today. >> definitely not. this is a president who keeps talking how he wants to build the economy from the bottom up and middle out. now he is admitting it is not working. >> president biden: i know a lot of folks don't feel the progress we're making. i get it. i know the cost of gas, groceries, and rent seem to be harder and harder to handle. that's one more reason why we need to pass my build back better. >> this summer they celebrated that the cost of a fourth of july barbecue had fallen 16 cents. meat is now one of the items driving prices way up ahead of the holidays. >> what's on people's minds are the fact they may not be able to get the things they need for thanksgiving. if they do it will cost more. if they travel it will cost more. this infrastructure bill, the one the president still hopes congress passes will do nothing except make those problems worse. >> warehouses are already empty. an extraordinary stat from the index. americans shopping

then you see the white house and democrats saying our policies are very popular. we're just not very good at selling them to the american people because they don't know what's in the bill. is it a communications problem or a policy problem? >> no, because 6 in 10 americans say they are worried biden is doing too much to increase the size and scope of government in our lives. look, if you were a normal democrat you would look at this poll and say oh my god, we have to change course or we'll lose power. instead what the democrats are saying is oh my god we'll lose power we better ram through as much of our agenda that the american people don't support before we do. they don't have a maybe date for socialism. 60% of the country don't want to have more government. biden is increasing the size of government. why are they pushing -- why is their response to push a $4 trillion socialist monstrosity to insert the hand of government into our lives from cradle to grave? it doesn't make sense. it is not responding to the american people. the reason is very simple, dana, beca

let's bring in karl rove former white house deputy chief of staff and fox news contributor. great to have you with us this morning. good morning to you. your thoughts as they continue this process and try to hammer this thing out with or without a cbo score. >> well, look, first of all this hasn't been done in the normal process. we have not taken this measure through committees. we have not had votes. we have not discussed it or looked at it. it is a rush 2,185 page document and rushing to get it through the house without even a cbo score. even if we get the cbo score we know this, the bill is filled with gimmicks. it has 10 years of revenue to pay for programs that are sun seted after three years, five years or six years which is never going to happen. these programs are designed to be permanent. it's based oh than a big lie. 10 years of revenue, less than 10 years of activity and some way it's not going to cost us anything, baloney. >> president bidden's pitch, >> the policies i propose, quote, help lift long term economic growth by stronger productivity, labor force grow

the white house last night pushed back against that number. month are -- more to your point empowering the i.r.s.. they assume a lot of people are cheating now, republicans, democrats, independents. how do you get the money back? we'll claw it back on behalf of the federal government. >> you do what we've always done. our income tax system in america state and federal depends on voluntary compliance. i think most people comply. some don't. but our tax collecting agencies always do audits. they don't do them politically. not supposed to. they pick subjects strategically and publicize the audits. those who want to cheat say i better not cheat, if i get caught i'll go to jail. that's the way we've always done it. it works. but that's not what the biden administration wants to do. they want to turn the i.r.s. into the gestapo and i think it's a mistake. it is morally wrong and politically stupid. >> bill: thank you for your time. you had quite an interaction yesterday on the nominee to be the comptroller. how did that go over? >> well, i just thin

the white house told america it costs nothing. that's not true. manchin is exactly right to ask for this. something else manchin said yesterday. we also need to know how it will impact inflation and we're seeing runaway inflation that's no longer transitory. i think that's another concern he has. it will have to be spelled out. this progress will play out for many more weeks. if the house rushes a vote this week they can do that but you are still going to need to get the stores and senate will change the bill which means you will have to have yet another vote to get the two bills in if they can even muster majorities. >> bill: maybe a couple weeks or a couple months or maybe longer. it's my sense that there was movement within that progressive caucus over the weekend in the house that they were ready to go. manchin sensed that and threw up a flair to stop it. right or wrong? >> there is more as well. i think there is legitimacy to answer the questions. one of the provisions in the bill the democrats are pushing to spend $80 billion to the i.r.s. f

the white house claims he is trying to divest. so aside from helping chinese state-owned company the communist government acquire a lock on cobalt, biden's firm also helped a chinese defense company buy a michigan auto parts maker. critics say it appears he is working against u.s. national security interests and worry he has used his father's name and influence, bill, to enrich himself. >> bill: back to you. there is a lot more to this. extensive reporting over the record for "the new york times" and others and we'll back on it today. we're live in los angeles and what is happening there. the "new york post" was reporting a month before the election and twitter canceled the "new york post" for a period of a month for reporting on hunter biden. >> dana: every time the white house press secretary there is another thing about hunter biden. >> bill: this is a lot of money. we talk about billion dollar potential deals. conglomerates from all over the world. beijing, australia, african countries. a lot of people were involved in these d

benjamin. >> benjamin: peter doocy live at the white house. >> dana: karl rove, former white house deputy chief of staff and fox news contributors. gas prices are up. that's why the white house has been talking about this. one of the things the president decided to do was try to tap the spr. "wall street journal" writing the withdrawal is intended to give the appearance of doing something about prices while actually doing nothing. how do you see it, karl? >> i totally agree with their board. it's 50 million barrels of oil. in reality that's what they said. in reality it's 32 million because 18 million barrels were already authorized by the congress under trump to be sold when the prices for oil were high and that's already been priced in by the markets. it's only 32 million barrels. let's just assume that the announcement is 50 million. the u.s. uses 19 million barrels of oil a day. this is 2.6 days worth of oil. that won't have a big downward pressure on prices. the world uses 97 million barrels a day. this is half a day's worth of worldwide oil. it won't have downward pressure on prices

inviting them to the white house for meetings. checking up with them on calls. offering them political appointments. if you are up for reelection you want to make sure your donors are happy. his poll numbers are low right now and a question in the democratic party about who could run as a democratic nominee. >> benjamin: of course, you know, kamala harris would be next in line but she has low poll numbers. people talking about pete buttigieg. what can you say his time as transportation secretary do you think it stands nim good position? >> it is really interesting. pete buttigieg is in what would typically be a backwater cabinet position. transportation secretary is where the democratic president will put a republican or republican president will put a democrat. not a typically important position compared to the other cabinet postings like secretary of state for example but it just so happens that pete buttigieg aligned himself in a place where the policy that this administration is pushing, infrastructure, the heart of that is in transportation. because of that

we begin with david spunt from the north lawn of the white house. when will we hear and what will he say? >> good morning to you. it is a little before noon when we'll hear from president biden. hopefully to hear his plan to combat this new omicron variant. as you mentioned what makes it more tricky for this white house and medical experts it will take two weeks, 14 days before we get the specific data in on how contagious this really is. you see the president with his team yesterday where he received that full briefing on the new variant. he is concerned enough that he banned travel from south africa. that travel ban kicked in today. to be clear it does not apply to american citizens in south africa who want to come home. these are the countries with confirmed cases and where experts suspect more cases. expect the u.s. to be added to that list. officials are concerned about the trance missability of this particular strain. according to early data it is contagious. >> get boosted. get vaccinated and you will bring the level up. i don't think there i

right now no reaction from the white house. we're trying to get it. we'll see what the president has to say. >> bill: nice to see you. david spunt north lawn at the white house. >> dana: let's bring in the national columnist for national journal data. on the analysis, economy and jobs 35%, coronavirus 17%. education 15%. i know not only do you look at all of these things across the country, you also live in virginia and you seem to have a feel for what was going on. let's get your reflections as terry mccauliffe has just conceded in the race. >> i'm in fairfax county, a blue area and still very liberal part of the state. there were parental frustrations bubbling among democrats and certainly independents and conservatives as early as last year when schools were closed for 18 months and you had -- you don't usually see education as a top issue in any race, no less a virginia governor's race. youngkin was very savvy in making all these different frustrations, whether it's the school closures, critical race theory, the elimination of gifted and talented

did the white house say you are in charge of a problem? was it the department of transportation, secretary of transportation, pete buttigieg. he had a right to take maternity leave but we didn't know about it. normally if a secretary takes a leave like that they would designate somebody to act in their stead during the time they were gone. the department of transportation, what is their plan? treasury? janet yell en. is it the commerce secretary from rhode island? who knows? at the end of the day here is the problem. neither the president nor his chief of staff have decided who is in charge of this problem and who is responsible for leading an effort across the government to develop a plan. >> dana: do you think they would ask kamala harris to do that job as well? slightly kidding. >> only if they wanted to bury it. if they wanted to hear a funny laugh. >> bill: what has this administration done well? tucker thinks he has failed on public policy with regard to the vaccines. you have more deaths this year than a year ago. you came into offi

any white house wants to have it both ways. they want to say it has nothing to do with us. but if youngkin had lost they would have said see how great we're doing at the white house? every white house tries to have it both ways. this one is pretty clear the issues that happen with the pandemic on education in schools and what happened in loudon county in particular and critical race theory all across the country is coming for the democrats. they know it and they can pretend it is not but i think internally their quiet voices are telling them. >> bill: an off-year election but tell us so much about the country and that's what's fascinating about it. i was on with larry kudlow and sandra. do you remember when eric cantor lost and aoc beat joe crowley in queens? this vote on tuesday night was 5 or 10 times that impact. when you consider the agenda that's on the table in washington, d.c. that now may be stalled perhaps forever. >> dana: perhaps. watch this. >> this talks about white supremacy. does she know i ran against a white su

everything karine said at the white house press briefing could have been said before that. they waited. it means either the president they did a disservice or trying to hide it. >> bill: seems like fudging. remember portland played a role in the defund police protests last year? remember this? watch. so that was then. wait until you hear what the city's democratic mayor wants today. plus this. roll it. >> republicans are lying. they are not being honest. they are not being truthful about where we stand and they are trying to use our kids as a political football. >> dana: is white house shrugging off critical race theory theory as a miss even though republicans focused on education. >> bill: you will not believe what is developing now on the russian investigation. jonathan turley wrote about it. they call it a lie, cheat and steele and the steele dossier. professor is coming up live next. stand by for that. ♪♪ helping them discover their dreams is one of the best parts of being a parent. one of the most important is giving them ways to fulfill them. for over 150 years, g

the white house stays out of that. this is a major new policy initiative the white house's fingerprints are all over it. it should be stopped dead in its tracks. this would be the biggest magnet you could think of to make people say i'm coming to america illegally you get paid hundreds of thousands but raises the issue of what did joe biden know and how was he briefed? he must have forgotten like he forgot being told keep troops in afghanistan. he said nobody told him about that. did he know anything about what the department of justice was doing when he said it's a garbage report? >> dana: these reports were out for several days before he answered a question. either he didn't know or he did or the -- i don't know. to me you could have jumped on that initially very sloppy. >> it is wrong, it's sloppy. i hope we don't pay a penny to anybody who came here illegally. >> dana: ari fleischer. >> bill: it shall be determined in due time. want to get back talking about the border right now. dramatic new video. migrants riskin

if it's actually paid for as the white house says. some parts of that cbo score will be released this week. others will take much longer but likely to reveal some unfavorable numbers including questionable pay fors, untenable tax credits and that higher price tag that so many are expecting. then this bill is going to be scrapped and go through the byrd rule in congress before the senate lays a hand on it. forget about immigration making it through the process. the parliamentarian struck it in its current form. senators joe manchin and kyrsten sinema will not support paid leave and climate change and lowering prescription drug costs. progressives know they have a problem. aoc put out a letter writing the president and house leadership has promised that build back better will still pass. we hope they are right but how much of the bill survives now that we've given away so much leverage is the question. here is congresswoman presley at her town hall making a similar point last night. >> it's frustrating to see the build back better act c

they add up and the white house does not seem to care. rachel: they have been positioning this that the uptick we've seen in inflation has a lot to do with an economy that went from the middle of the pandemic to anything from that level and that builds up substantial demand and limited supply but fair to say in the beginning of this administration the attitude toward fossil fuels was we are overexposed and we want to look at wind and solar and all of that. any idea the administration has regretted the keystone shutdown, the timing of it since oil and all that is traded in the open market that would sense prices up and they continue to go up. if they had to do it over again if they didn't shut that down, they threw in all energy including the ones they favor along with keeping oil production going in the united states, they wouldn't be in the pickle they are in. >> reporter: probably. the biggest indication of the white house stands on this issue is that just a couple weeks ago they threw their support behind a review of a pipeline in mich

we're waiting to hear from the white house what he's going to celebrate -- he's doing to celebrate his birthday. there are still a few more hurdles because it has yet to pass the senate which the president says likely will come after thanksgiving. the final vote tally was 230 yeas, 213 nays. build back better did pass. house speaker nancy pelosi was asked about bill moving to the senate where there is that uncertain fate. >> it's called the legislative process, and the house does not just write any bill that they think the senate will pass. we find our common ground. >> reporter: now, it's about finding that common ground. republican leader kevin mccarthy delivered the longest speech in house history, 8 hours and 32 minutes. he blamed democrats for the repercussions of this bill. here he is. >> every page of this washington spending shows just how irresponsible and out of touch democrats are. >> reporter: now, this build back better package marks the late in a long line of government spending programs that date back to the early days of the pandemic during the donald trump administrati

jacqui: travel restrictions imposed by the white house came about quickly. they were announced in pretty short order but they don't take effect until monday and causing medical experts that it would considerably lessen their benefit. rich: is anyone saying inflation, should the president cut vacation short and come back to the white house. jacqui: we haven't heard talk about that yet and he might enjoy small business saturday and seems he's enjoying holiday vacation. thank you. rich: releasing oil from the reserves is expected to be a temporary fix. a look at long-term solutions to lower gas prices, let's ask fox news contributor and price future senior analyst phil flynn and dan, so welcome, gentlemen. i want to start with phil flynn here. i drove the work today and last night i filled up and oh, my god, the cost surprises me every time. triple a says the gallon stayed about the same yesterday from today. the oil selling off yesterday with shutdown fears, one of the largest one-day drop since apri. will gas prices come back down, phil? phil: they will. if y

. >> bret: choice seen as referendum on the white house. one of the first major elections since the president took office. what happens tonight could very well foreshadow next year's midterms. >> martha: we have team fox coverage of democracy 21. reporters spanned out throughout the commonwealth and the best analysis in the business. >> bret: but, first, let's go to alexandra hough with the youngkin campaign in chantilly, virginia. alex? >> well, good evening. yeah, this headquarters is just starting to fill in for the official watch party tonight. they are handing out popcorn. they are gearing up for a celebration. as you mentioned though, for youngkin to even get to this point seemed unlikely from the start. is he running against somebody name i.d. who served in this role before. but it was the issue of education where he truly found his footing in this race. he essentially found a void in representation for parents feeling frustrated about their say that they were able to have in kids' schools. he filled that void. on 38-bus stop bus tou

the white house says the proposal could slash emissions by 1 billion tons by 2030. this comes as biden faces plummeting approval ratings. 54% of people say they disapprove compared with 48% of a disapproval rating back in august. the president acknowledged the numbers last night to reporters, arguing that that is not why he ran for office. you now, an estimated 25,000 delegates will be here, again, from around the world, among those not in attendance, queen elizabeth. however, other members of the royal family will be here. carley: back at home, house speaker nancy pelosi is pushing to he vote on president biden's spending bill and the infrastructure bill as soon as tomorrow. todd: griff jenkins can is live in d.c. >> reporter: good morning, todd. carley, congratulations. there's a lot of pressure on speaker he pelosi who failed twice to deliver on infrastructure with tomorrow's vote in he question as the president overseas presses on his party. >> the build back better framework, which is god willing going to be voted on as early as sometime this coming week, i bel

the white house can't blame the pandemic as far as how americans feel. this is about the other factors i talked about n the poll, this is the key thing. even half of democrats agree that we're on the wrong track. if glenn youngkin wins in virginia, democrats are going to run for the hills as far as this administration. carley: also his approval rating among independents is scary as well. joe, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> carley, congrats on this. you get to get up every day at 1:00 a.m. this is awesome for you. carley: more than happy and willing to do it. joe, thanks so much. todd: you heard joe mention, all eyes on virginia. glenn youngkin and terry mcauliffe clash over education, critical race theory. carley: lawrence jones joins us from roanoke as both candidates make their final pitches to voters and we mean final, lawrence. >> reporter: that's exactly right, carley. congratulations. good morning. this is a tight race. as you know, youngkin has finally taken a lead in the real clear politics average, he's up plus one. he is

house -- biden white house. todd: groups have been working to evacuate americans and allies trapped in afghanistan for over two months now. we check in with one veteran leading the charge to save lives. carley: you're watching "fox & friends first" on this wednesday morning. i'm carley shimkus. todd: i'm todd piro. president biden set to head to the port of baltimore today. carley: this as surging meat prices threaten to butcher holiday plans across the country. griff jenkins joins us live from washington with details on that front. >> reporter: i see what you did there. are you tired of paying more for goods or struggling to find them? the president be will head to the port of t baltimore today to unveil his plan to break the supply chain logjam. >> i know a lot of folks don't feel the progress we're making in the economy. i get it. i know the cost of gas, groceries and rent seem to be harder and harder to handle. that's one of the reasons we had to pass my build back better bill. >> reporter: turkeys may be th

todd: the white house doing damage control after admitting it was weighing the consequences of shutting down yet another crucial oil pipeline. carley: this as democrats continue the global push for climate policy at the cop 26 summit. alex hogan is live in london with the story. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning. the white house says it's not shutting down the pipeline but there are negotiations underway with canada and the canadian government just last month invoked a treaty from 1977 with the u.s. to further this dialogue. dialogue that will continue next week when president joe biden is expected to host canadian prime minister justin trudeau and mexico's president for an in-person meeting this would be the first such meeting in half a decade. the line 5 pipeline cuts through michigan, transporting the majority of canadian crude exports to the u.s. which then goes onto power millions of businesses and homes across the countries. environmental activists wants the pipeline turned a off to prevent a potential spill in the great lakes. critics argue the collateral cost is too
