kind of stuff goes away. the white house says they deny a recession is coming. listen to this exclusive video that we just got in from fox digital. watch in. have you checked gas prices lately? have you checked interest rates? we re in a recession. prices are going up, employment pay is not going up as fast. know that a lot of us will be able to enjoy. we ll have to work to be able to pay bills to live, to eat. i think we re in a recession. interest rates have gone up, up, up. the economy seems to be slowing down. the price of cars is unreal. if you can get one. martha: that s pretty good. these folks have it straight. we ll talk to glenn youngkin, the governor of virginia where the interviews were done. he s coming up. white house correspondent edward lawrence reporting live from the north lawn. the consumer sentiment is critical as economic data comes out. more americans are pessimistic about the economy. the lowest level since february 2021. the current preside
to their causes. there s a lot of talk about what lies ahead for governor youngkin. so we re glad to have him joining us today. governor, very good to have you with us. talk to me a little bit about the event that you participated in today and yesterday and why you think it s so important to do the best we can for our veterans and help them transition to jobs? yeah, martha, thanks for having me. this is a moment for us to do what we should do, celebrate our veterans and the sacrifice that they ve made and families have made in order to protect freedom. freedom is not free. sometimes we forget to say thank you. so i made a commitment when i was running and elected and when we started this administration to make virginia the most military and veteran friendly state in america. we have consistently been working at that. today we donated a quarter of my salary to the veterans services foundation. we re here at the jones
martha: that s for sure. scott and molly and guy, thank you all. great to have you here today. as democrats vie for political capitol in the event biden is a one-term president, which we ve been talking about, some republicans plot their own 2024 ambitions. we ve been discussing that and some folks talking about running on the democratic side. we ll talk to glenn youngkin only on the story about the economy and what he s doing for veterans in virginia when we come back. hi, i m william devane. did you know there s only been two times in american history
there s a lot of discussion about future elections as well. we said president trump is back in washington for the first time. there s been a lot of discussion. he said he s trying to declare if he s going to run for president before or after the mid-terms. a lot of republicans are urging him to wait until after. i know you re watching these races very closely in virginia. do you join those that want him to wait until after the mid-terms to make any announcement? i believe the most important near term objective is to win in november. i ve often said that the road to the majority in our congress goes through virginia. so we re going to work hard in order to get republicans elected in virginia. i would encourage the president if he s going to make an announcement to wait until after the mid-terms so we can keep 100% of our focus on getting republicans elected. i m looking forward to working with our great candidates across
the common wealth of virginia to get them elected and also working with governors across the country that recognize that they have a chance to bring republican-style leadership to so many states that have suffered under democrat leadership. we ve seen states led by republicans outperform in every category. i think americans just like virginiians did last year will make a decision to vote for republicans. martha: governor, there s a lot of 2024 talk. that s premature. your name is popping up on that list. i know you made a surprising decision to run for governor. talking about going out for a walk with your wife and saying look, i m going to run. are you going to make a similar decision to run for president? martha, i m humbled when this topic comes up. to be honest, i m so focussed on the common wealth of virginia. i have a huge job. we ve had a great first six months. in fact, we got the vast majority of everything that we pledged to do moving and going
