Im Bret Baier reporting from Fox News World headquarters in New York on this, the 23rd anniversary of the 9 11 attacks. And the day after the first president ial debate between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. That event is obviously a major topic of conversation today, specifically concerning who won, who did or didnt lie about things. Whether the moderators were choosing sides. We start off with a look at some of the reaction across the board. Senior white House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich has details live from the north lawn. Good evening, jacqui. Jacqui good evening, bret. The Harris Campaign believes the Vice President did so well they want to do it all over again in a second debate. They even posted the full hour and 40 minutes from last night on x. Calling it their newest ad. While harris landed a lot of punches, she also left a lot on the table. Kamala harris, could goode debate. Good to see you. After glo of good night may be shorter than hoped. Pundi
charles. that s right. listening to the president speaking just now, you d think that we got all good news in the jobs report today. in fact, i was reading his statement from earlier on the jobs data. the first line, this is bidenomics in action. but charles, you ask the average american how they feel with what they re bringing home, when they have to pay for groceries. seems to be a disconnect versus the rosy picture coming out of pennsylvania avenue. i want to dig into the numbers that we got today. the economy added 209,000 jobs in the month of june. that is the lowest addition that we have seen since december of 2020. it was significantly below expectations as well. if you listen to the labor secretary, she says it s good news. this is very much a part of bidenomics. creating good jobs in every community across the country. we re seeing job growth and wage increases in a tight labor market, workers have more power to choose and to look for better working conditions and
we d be calling that a win. so we as a nation have to decide, do we want the economy growing fast or slowing it down. the fed has been saying we re going to try to slow it down. this is what happens when you crank up interest rates as long as we have. we shouldn t be particularly surprised by this. on that note though, a year ago, two years ago, i certainly would have been here s a wild card. $2 trillion in stimulus that was really for the most part after the covid emergency. that s what gave us this inflation scare. we hadn t thought about inflation in this country for 40 years, an entire generation. that s been the wild card, dave. i look at these numbers. i m concerned about what happens over the next few months, over the next year. black unemployment is now at 6%. 2 months ago, it was 4.7%. we can t have these numbers going up that fast. will that slow down? that was actually the most alarming number that i saw. what happened with black
higher prices. high gas prices hit low-income americans the hardest and threaten to intensify america s biggest the inflation scare in more than a dozen years. this is a political problem for biden too. even though the blame from republicans is largely misplaced. voters do not like high gas prices, and fair or not they tend to blame whoever is in the white house. even though electric vehicle sales are booming they still represent a small piece of the pie. unfortunately, industry source tell me there isn t really much biden can do about energy sticker shock. plan a was to get opec and its allies to stop production. that s failed. plan b could be to tap america s emergency stockpile of oil. energy secretary suggested that could be in the cards. but the energy department later walked that back and told me there is no immediate plans to tap the spr. there s a lot of skepticism
