we'll see what happens. kelly and i will speak with some voters that tell us what they would like to see and hear from the candidates on the stage and the message that they have ahead of the debate for former president donald trump as well. first, president biden is about to make some remarks on the u.s. economy. they've been pushing bidenomics very hard over the past couple days. clearly this is central to the president's re-election push. yesterday's speech though after it kind of got fact checked by many, it ran into some serious headwinds. it's a head scratcher as to why he brings up some of these things that are so easily unwound on the truth meter. there were about seven or eight of them in this speech that got picked apart one by one. we're not going to go through them all. the question is why he keeps raising the same things over that get debunked. here's one random one. the president said i saw this bridge collapse in pittsburgh when i was on the scene last year. watch this. >> i watched that bridge collapse. i got there and saw it collapse. with over 200 feet off the ground going over a valley. it collapsed. >> foxnews.com points out that hours before biden's arrival in pittsburgh for a pre-planned speech, the 477 foot forbes avenue bridge collapsed injuring multiple people. he later visited the site, but he did not witness the collapse first hand. so there's that. so let's bring in fox business host brian brenberg and clay travis. great to have you with us. we're waiting for the president to speak about the economy. it's been a push the last couple days. i want to start with you on that to our economic experts. there's a new quinnipiac poll out. 58% disapprove of the handling of the economy by president biden. 71% said the economy is good or poor. 51% say that they believe in their experience that the economy is getting worse. what do you think of the push that he's making and how effective it is. >> that poll follows what gallup, pugh and cnn, abc and reuters polls are showing, too. what you're seeing now is you don't see democrats barnstorming the country in their districts talking about the inflation reduction act. you can see the white house changing their rhetoric and narrative after the president said i wish i hadn't called it that. today you see the white house officials calling it the climate spending act. so it's a different narrative now coming out of the white house. what is really happening behind the scenes is it's mistaking spending for achievement. when you have the chicago fed, the san francisco fed, now you have cbo director saying, you know, inflation has been triggered by government overspending. it's helped ignite it and fuel it. you'll hear the white house say the ira has medicare, drug pricing negotiations. yeah, that's a good thing. senior citizens are seeing now compounded 16% plus innation since the president took office. that's a lot of sticker shock. that is i think hitting his poll ratings. >> bryan, your thoughts on this. let's put up the prices that are compounded as liz says since the beginning of the biden presidency. milk is 14% higher. poultry 23% higher. gas 39% higher. some places, gas prices are starting t inflation at 3 or 4%, that is meaningless to a family that is paying 20% more for groceries than they did two years ago. the reality is to make do, to make good on that, they're borrowing at record levels. worse than that, martha and this is the president doesn't lie about it, he omits it. people are becoming delinquent on borrowing, credit card borrowing, auto loan borrowing. we're hitting levels higher than prepandemic. people don't feel like inflation is abating. they're putting it on a card. they're not able to pay that. then the president tells them hey, everything is getting better. they're like friends, seriously? have you looked at how we're living lately? that's not true. >> martha: real experience is the best barometer for americans across the country. they know what they're going through on a personal level. clay, you know, i only point out this thing about the bridge because these things keep happening. there's a lot of questions about why the president keeps repeating some of these things that are not true. we talked about hit father not going to college. turned out he went to johns hopkins university. what different does it make if this older gentleman likes to tell stories that are not exactly true? >> well, martha, it matters because it plays in to the larger story here about joe biden, which is in my opinion he's not mentally or physically capable of being president of the united states. i think increasingly that is the opinion of a huge majority of americans including a lot of democrats that voted for him. when he continues to have these errors and these things that are easily refuted falsehoods, they're not factual disputes or even sometimes defensible positions that you could have in the political arena. these are things that are immediately able to be refuted as untruce. how many times has he said that beau biden died in iraq? his son. it's awful that he died but he didn't die while serving in iraq. he says it all the time. it starts to in my opinion reflect upon the larger issue for joe biden, which is his mental and physical lack of strength in terms of being able to to this job, again, this is not just a republican argument. this is not just an independent argument. democrats, if they had the choice, would prefer that joe biden didn't have this job. i'll just say this. there's not a single job -- i'm with outkick. we have a lot of employees. joe biden couldn't do a job at any of the places that we have people employed at outkick. let me put it this way. if you owned a gas station, could joe biden run it? instead, he's running the country. i don't think he can run an average gas station on a corner anywhere in america. >> martha: it's 60 plus percent say they don't want president biden to run again. somewhere in that neighborhood, north of that for the former president as well. so americans are looking for alternatives it would appear, although reason the republican party, president trump is still extremely popular. we'll get to that. keep an eye 0 on the president's statements from the economy from the white house. we'll monitor that when it breaks. brand new, fox power rankings today. the first round for the 2024 election show 74% of registered republican voters say they would support former president trump if he becomes the gop nominee. another new poll is showing a shift in the other candidates that are running in new hampshire. it is significant. kellyanne conway is next.

>> a few things. if you're a republican primary voter nationwide or in almost any of these early key states, martha, all of these legal woes for president trump have given you an excuse if not a reason to shop around. very few people are. i think next week with bret and you moderating the debate, the challenge to the candidates that are not named donald trump is two fold. first, you have to attack donald trump. take him on. second, at the same time as a companion, need to attract his voters. it's a nearly impossible task. i predict if you're not named ron desantis will go after him. they're going to try to rough up desantis. he's shows a certain resilience recently and shown an ability to get outside of donald trump. him being heckled by trump supporters when he shows up. in iowa, they're putting it all there. chris christie getting separation in new hampshire. the curiosity for me is everything that another republican primary candidate not named donald trump would want to see is not evidenced in the polls. number 1, they like to say i can beat joe biden. donald trump is not electable. voters in "the new york times" sienna poll, 58 to 28 say -- >> put that up, guys. >> this is huge. the electability argument was supposed to favor the other candidates, particularly desantis. it sayto dress the way they wan. that's fine. you don't oppressi by focusing on others. that includes kids. i respect you have kids. that's okay. part of what makes our country great is we can be civil and have this conversation. >> it's a great way of answering the question. i worked for donald trump. the first president already in favor of same sex marriage. not barack obama. not bill clinton. if you go back, watch the clips of barack obama and hillary clinton in 2008 in the primaries. they're yelling at each other for whom is more in defense of traditional marriage. this is new. the new part of the conversation that disturbs many people regardless of the sexual orientation is you see people say we're coming for your kids. people don't like that. i think ron desantis did a marvelous job in florida when he said kindergarten through third grade, 8-year-olds, should not be exposed to sexually explicit content. 8-year-old to 18-year-old that he lost a lot of people. when you talk about kids, i think it's a different kind of conversation. i personally agree with vivek ramaswamy. we don't oppose people based on their differentiated characters. that's what makes america so great. she was waiting for a different answer. stereotypes have taken hold. tell me what biden and harris are doing for her and her community right now as opposed to this diverse group of candidates? what i love for bret and you next week? the diversity of the group of people that we already know will be before you. indian american woman, indian american man, african american man. perhaps a hispanic man, blue state governor. it's really incredible. >> martha: that's an organic diversity. that comes from who is getting attention, who is attracting donors, who people want to see on that stage. it's not a we need one of these and one of these. it's an organic diversionty, which people -- that's what people want to see. an honest diverse group. thank you, kellyanne. stick around. we won't let you go. we're going to speak to voters that voted for president trump in the past about next week's debate what will they be watching, who will they be watching coming up? >> you want the former president to debate? >> yeah, yeah. that is a good idea. >> it's a good idea. >> he say he may or may not want to. do you have a feeling -- what do you want to hear from him if he were to debate like the other candidates? >> to make america great again. and to make america stronger. >> do you think he needs to be on the debate stage? >> no. he needs to do like biden did in the last election. stay quiet. not show up. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ what do we always say, son?

do you want the former president to run or not? >> i would prefer he did not run. i'd like to make the election about the people. about the country. i think we're going to get all hung up on trump, which is unfortunate. i think he did a pretty good job. so many people can't get passed it today. >> martha: do you have a favorite? >> it's desantis. >> martha: what do you think about the fact that he hasn't had the lift off in the campaign that most people expected? >> i'm sad about that. i would prefer that we have someone that is of action and hs what i think he did in florida. i don't know how you'd get elected if you can't get that push to get people to follow you. i want people to listen to what he's saying. let go of all of this other baggage. >> martha: let's take a look at this when we go to noreen on this. the quinnipiac poll shows a majority of voters feel it's important for all qualified republicans to be at the first debate. it's very important. you agree with them? >> i'm with them. i'm one of them. it's 84% or actually 91% of importance. it's direct democracy. this is the opportunity for we the people, free of charge, to access those candidates. watch them face the tough questions about each other and the frontrunner with donald trump and past statements that they've made or policy positions that they've not let surface. i want to say something about your earlier point, the poll numbers showing people don't want trump or biden. from 1980 to 2008 when hillary was denied being on the ballot by barack obama, we had had a bush or clinton on the ticket for 24 years. americans say they don't want trump or biden but still order number 3 at chick-fil-a. they have all of these choices and yet biden will probably be the nominee with harris and trump as the frontrunner. the most important polls is who is responding to the voters, who is showing up in these states and also what percentage of the vote does biden have among democrats and does trump have among republicans. there's softness there for each of them. they'll tie it up. people are shopping around. they're not convinced with what they see. >> martha: noreen, this is another poll that says that quinnipiac, a majority of gop voters think a felony conviction should make them ineligible to be president. 58% say that. do you agree? i remember we talked before. you're a solid trump voter, right? what do you say about that? >> i am, martha. yes, nice to see you again and you as well, kellyanne. obviously trump has a base. trump's base is the most loyal base on planet earth. he has the strongest people behind him honestly regardless. we have to remember, these attacks and these accusations and these indictments and the 400 charges, it's incredible. but the truth is that the actual being attacked here and the target is not donald trump. it is us. it is americans. he's just in the way. so we can look at all of these polls, i know you love the percentages that are out there. i think until we get down to election day, they're all just polls as we remember with hillary's fireworks show that was cancelled. so i think until we get there, we have to remember these indictments and these charges are a joke. the truth will come out. the truth will be revealed. right now we're going through the motions. i think the debate would be a fantastic idea. the other thing that trump is the best debater in the world. so i think him coming out and being honest and open about everything that he's going through shows his strength. >> martha: we'll see if he's listening to you. thanks very much. good to see you both. thank you. great to see you as we move through the election and thank you, kellyanne. great to have you with us. still ahead, leo terrell is here on the flash mobs burdening american retailers. it's disgusting what's going on in the stores and they're not arrested anybody. new forensics evidence that disputes the claims that alec baldwin didn't pull the trigger. a new development that could change the scene for him. >> the trigger wasn't pulled. i didn't pull the trigger. type 2 diabetes? discover the ozempic® tri-zone. in my ozempic® tri-zone, i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease. and you may lose weight. adults lost up to 14 pounds. ozempic® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't share needles or pens, or reuse needles. don't take ozempic® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. stop ozempic® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. gallbladder problems may occur. tell your provider about vision problems or changes. taking ozempic® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase low blood sugar risk. side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. ask your health care provider about the ozempic® tri-zone. you may pay as little as $25. that ruling is on hold. nothing changes right now. it may change based on what the court is saying until the supreme court can weigh-in on this. the justices previously took actions to keep the drug, the while this legal battle plays out. so a lot of fast moving parts in that debate. how about this? charges for alec baldwin could be back on the table in the wake of a new report claiming that he did pull the trigger on the gun that killed cinematography halyna hutchins on the movie set of "rust." >> it wasn't in the script for the trigger to be pulled. >> the trigger wasn't pulled. >> so you never pulled it? >> no, no, no. i would never do that, never. >> martha: so involuntary man slaughter charges were dropped in april because new evidence revealed that the gun had been modified before he handled it, which would line up with what he said. but now a new expert analysis has been done for santa fe's special prosecutors who say "the trigger had to be pulled or depressed sufficiently to release the fully retracted hammer of the evidence revolver." steve wolf is a weapons safety expert for films. he's been involved in the accidental shootings. he's in the suit brought by the family of halyna hutchins. can you explain this to everybody about what they thought the gun had been modified but now they say it hadn't? what are they talking about? >> they're talking about how much effort has to be applied to the trigger to make the gun fire. if you pull it back, press here, the gun fires. if you find this is just too difficult for you, people that modify this to make it easier to fire the gun, and it's irrelevant. because there's no part of gun safety that relies on any part of the gun to be working properly. when we say all guns are always loaded, okay, you know, you loaded it or you checked that it was empty. that doesn't depend on the gun, right? don't put your finger on the trigger, you do or you don't, i saw photographs that he did. if you don't point the gun at somebody, and he did, then he's breaking the rules. gun safety doesn't rely on mechanical parts. mechanical parts are subject to fail. the idea that the gun being modified or not would have any relevance to the case is moot. >> martha: he was arguing that it had been modified and it released without him doing anything, without him pulling the trigger. now this analysis is saying that that is not possible. that he had to have. is that correct? >> that is correct. turn it around so you can see what we're talking about here. if i'm holding the revolver and i have my finger on the trigger, i'm not pressing it, right? i'm just holding it. i'm actually applying sufficient pressure. if i cock the gun and release it, it fires. so it will fire without me pressing the trigger because i'm already pressing the trigger. so in that instance, it's possible for both people to believe that they're right. he says i didn't press the trigger meaning i didn't deliberately press the trigger and it's not possible to have caused the gun to fire unless there had been pressure on it at the same time. >> martha: so there was a prior prosecutor in this case who is not there anymore, but they spoke with judge jeanine in january. here's what she said. this is andrea reeve and mary at a alt-wise. watch. >> mr. baldwin had a duty to not pull the trigger. >> we believe baldwin knows everything that goes on on the set as a producer. there was a lot of problems, a couple of accidental discharges. there was a lot of safety concerns that were brought to the attention of management. he did nothing about it. >> martha: you're nodding, steve. quick reaction. >> well, as soon as you find out that one is dangerous, you get them off of your set. this armorer had safety complaints from her prior movie, her first movie and then again on her second movie and they did nothing to remove her or replace her with somebody else. they allowed a dangerous situation to persist. with regard to the fbi lab, who are you going to believe? the fbi or alec baldwin's lawyers? >> martha: we'll be watching to see if he faces new legal jeopardy in this situation. thanks, steve. good to see you. so still ahead, kevin o'leary joins us and leo terrell after a string of brazen flash robs. i mean, it's just unbelievable. what is going on in these stores across the country. that one in the golden state when we come back.

can you explain it to us? >> the difference between "the big short" story, which is the housing market is specific to real estate and more specifically to the mortgage-backed market and the syndication of debt was very complicated then. very opaque. he figured it out. it was a house of cards on the one specific metric. that was one area of the market that he was 100% right and he deserves to win that one because nobody else saw at this time way he did. what he's doing now is completely different. the s&p 500 has 500 megacap companies in it in 11 sectors of the economy. real estate being one of them. so you would need every sector to falter or at least evaluations of every company in the s&p to significantly go down at the same time to win on that bet. now, nasdaq's 100 primarily tech, not all tech, but seven stocks that are trading at a very highs price-to-earnings ratio. that's a different bet. they too are in multiple sectors of technologies. so i don't think it's that easy. people don't understand about shorting, many investors learn it the hard way. i was one a long time ago. when you short a stock, you have unlimited liability. if it goes to see yes, you lose $10. if that stock, if you're shorted and it goes up to 200, 300, 500, you don't have enough money to cover the margin calls you're getting. very few people do. when you bet the whole market short, you have real cahunes. that's what he's doing here. >> martha: and we don't know if he's changed the investment. but warren buffet selling $8 billion of stock. that also has people concerned. are you concerned as you look at the larger market right now? is there something going on that people are not seeing or they're choosing not to see? >> no, i'm not concerned about one individual short making that decision. when you short the market, you're essentially saying i'm timing the market. i know something others don't know. people that try to live off of market timing have a very hard time. you may get lucky once as he did in housing, but this is a didn't kettle of fish that he's playing with. warren buff ten selling $8 billion of stock is actually a rounding error. it's meaningless. he's trying to stay diversifdiv. my bet is that is a somethinger trim ago portfolio. that's why the market doesn't care. to say that i know the market is going to go down, he will be right one day. when is unknown. how much pain will he have to take along the way? does he have enough dry powder at the margin desk? every time that market goes up another 1 or 2% that phone is ringing and they're saying send in more cash. >> martha: we have to cover this. >> you have to know what you're doing. it's risky. >> martha: thanks, kevin. thanks for coming on. >> take care. >> martha: take a look at these kids. the three finalists in the u.s. a mullet children's championship, a contest to race money for wounded warriors and the winner was announced live on "fox and friends," watch. >> drum roll. roy erlich and his cheddar whiz mullet. roy joins us with his mother, adrian. hello. >> they did not know until just now that -- >> so cute. the happiest mullet wearing kid in america. his mom was so excited. watch this. >> rory, tell us how you feel. >> my heart is beating so fast. >> rory, can you show -- give us a profile so we can see your mullet and shake your hair. >> party in the back. >> that was great. i love that this morning. look at these kids competing with their sunglasses. that championship also included other age groups and this season raised more than $175,000 for a home for wounded warriors. it's a great cause and a lot of fun on "fox and friends." thanks to steve and ainsley for putting on the wigs. that's "the story" for this wednesday. great to have you with us. look forward to seeing you here tomorrow. today is wednesday. we have a new podcast out. it's an interesting discussion with veteran political analyst doug schroen with his predictions for what he think will happen in the debate on wednesday. tune in to that. it's available at foxnewspodcasts.com. see you tomorrow. have a great evening. stay well. see you thursday. ♪ >> neil: well, you say it's your birthday. the white house celebrating the signing of the inflation reduction act a year ago today. how time flies. what the administration is whooping it up, americans are still paying up. shelling out $700 more a month than they did two years ago. paying more for things like food, gas and mortgages. th
