trying to redefine recession? we are not redefining recession. greg: president biden s prediction there being no recession lasting about as long as kamala s doomed presidential campaign. democrats are pushing more massive spending for some reason, to get us out of it. biden is brushing off the bad economic news while claiming dishing out $700 billion for things like fighting climate change and that will actually lower inflation. chairman powell and many of the significant banking personnel and economists say we are not in a recession. we created 9 million new jobs so far as i ve become president. businesses are investing in america and record rates. the inflation reduction act will add another $370 billion in clean energy tax credits and reconciliation. that doesn t sound like a recession to me. greg: now that biden s prediction has flopped, democrats and the media are getting on the same page to try to convince americans things aren t that bad. we have to remember
polarizing institution in the united states. frankly, it s not really surprising. last year the media hit an had n all-time low and they just can t rebound. especially when it comes to the supreme court new york times writes about the big political ruling in the senate republicans took the politically risky step of banning abortion. the the courts took care of that for them. you would think that somebody writing for 30 years could ve gotten this right, but what they actually did, yesterday after the court rejected the case, some workers challenged vaccine mandates, the media went after who else but clarence thomas. instead of just fact checking, supreme court justice clarence thomas that also wrote that this is part of it. let me be clear that there were no aborted fetus cells used in vaccines. and i think that this carries weight and that is the point. let s be clear, that s not what he said it all. he says justice thomas included a description of the health care wor
the white house has said israel has agreed to a rolling series of pauses which will allow civilians to evacuate. which thousands have done it, by the way. they insist there is no cease-fire with hamas where we start today on a friday morning. good morning from new york. i m bill hemmer. dana: i m dana perino. we have a lot of news for you today as well. the humanitarian pauses will last for four hours at a time. president biden, he wanted a longer pause lasting three full days. israel was not willing to go that far. here is what prime minister benjamin netanyahu told bret baier last night. we ll continue until we eradicate hamas. we re committed to victory, which is not only our victory but it s the victory of the entire civil liesed world against barbarism. we have not agreed to a cease-fire. it means a surrender to hamas and terror. there won t be a cease-fire without the release of israeli hostages. that s not going to happen. bill: the white house pushing for the pa
proving to have deadly consequences, crossing into the country illegally. they charged with capital matter. and and a brand-new hour of fox news live. guy: molly: the shocking murder of a preteen girl follows other recent cases, charging migrants with violent crime. a mother of 5 was killed on a popular hiking trip. the suspect is an illegal immigrant in el salvador. and illegal border crossing from ecuador is behind bars after police say he raped a 13-year-old girl in broad daylight. the string of mortality is fueling more criticism of biden s immigration agenda. every one of these is preventable because they shouldn t be in the country in the first place. thanks worry cities, hold people until we can determine who they are and what intent they have and if they have a legal right to be here and this problem gets diminished significantly and all those agents want to focus on finding criminals and kicking criminals out. paul: more on illegal immigrants who are now suspects.
