00:00I will work to pass the first ever federal ban on price gauging on food.
00:09My plan will include new penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the
00:20rules and we will support smaller food businesses that are trying to play by the rules and get
00:27ahead.
00:29Good evening, I'm Brett Baer.
00:31We begin tonight with Vice President Kamala Harris outlining her economic plan, or part
00:35of it, the Democratic presidential nominee speaking this afternoon in Raleigh, North
00:39Carolina.
00:40She says she will build what she calls an opportunity economy.
00:44The centerpiece, as you just heard there, is a federal ban on price gouging for food,
00:50but it also includes steps to address the U.S. housing crisis.
00:54The proposals have raised eyebrows with some economists and some of them from previous
00:59Democratic administrations.
01:02Senior White House correspondent Jackie Heinrich starts us off tonight live in Raleigh.
01:06Good evening, Jackie.
01:09Good evening, Brett.
01:10Biden had Bidenomics, Harris has opportunity economy.
01:14Her agenda unveiled today has some proposals that build off of Biden's, like capping prescription
01:21drug costs and expanding the child tax credit.
01:24The new ones focus on bringing down the cost of housing and groceries, calling to construct
01:29three million new starter homes and provide 25 grand in down payment assistance to four
01:35million Americans.
01:37The most controversial though, addressing food prices, is expanding the authority of
01:42the FTC to go after corporate price gouging for groceries.
01:49Together we will build what I call an opportunity economy.
01:56Vice President Harris's agenda to curb costs for groceries and housing getting mixed reviews
02:01and not from the usual critics.
02:02Obama's former economic advisor, Jason Furman, saying of her proposed federal ban on grocery
02:07price gouging, this is not sensible policy.
02:10There's no upside here and there is some downside.
02:13A Washington Post opinion columnist writes, at best, this would lead to shortages, black
02:18markets and hoarding.
02:19At worst, it might accidentally raise prices.
02:21If your opponent claims you're a communist, maybe don't start with an economic agenda
02:25that can accurately be labeled as federal price controls.
02:29Harris says this is about punishing companies that exploit crises.
02:32I know most businesses are creating jobs, contributing to our economy and playing by
02:39the rules, but some are not.
02:42And her supporters say she's done this before.
02:45What she did when she was attorney general of California, she wasn't out there trying
02:51to set prices for people.
02:53She was going after bad behavior.
02:55The National Association of Home Builders praised Harris's plan to fix the supply shortage
02:59with builder tax credits for more starter homes, but also warned down payment assistance
03:03and tax credits for first time buyers will further drive demand.
03:07Trump has likened Harris's plans to communism, but she took aim at his proposal to hike tariffs
03:12on imports.
03:13A Trump tax on gas, a Trump tax on food, a Trump tax on clothing, a Trump tax on over-the-counter
03:24medication.
03:25Donald Trump's plan would cost a typical family $3,900 a year.
03:32The Nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget says Harris's plans come with
03:36a cost too, increasing deficits by $1.7 trillion over a decade.
03:44The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget notes that the Harris campaign says this would
03:49all be paid for through taxes on corporations and high earners, but they've not put forward
03:54a specific set of offsets, Brett.
03:58Obviously, it all has to get through Congress.
04:00Jackie, thank you.
04:02Vice President Harris is not the first politician to advocate government pricing controls in
04:07an effort to fight inflation.
04:09Tonight, Edward Lawrence of Fox Business looks at how the idea has worked out in the past.
04:15Price controls sound good on paper, especially in times of economic hardship.
04:20As president, I will take on the high costs that matter most to most Americans.
04:27But some research suggests they should stay in the history books.
04:29The St. Louis Federal Reserve researched price controls and found higher prices help regulate
04:34demand for more limited items.
04:36If you set a price ceiling, like with rent control, more people will be able to buy the
04:40product or afford the apartments, causing shortages.
04:43If you set a floor, like minimum wage, it raises prices, causing what economists call
04:47a glut.
04:48Like when Rubio's Coastal Grill closed 48 locations in California when minimum wage
04:53went to $20 an hour because the company could not afford to pay all its employees.
04:58I am today ordering a freeze on all prices and wages throughout the United States for
05:05a period of 90 days.
05:07That was August 1971.
05:08Former President Richard Nixon froze prices and wages for the first time since World War
05:13II.
05:14That move, a political success, but economic disaster, leading to recession and stagflation,
05:19which is marked by simultaneous inflation and high unemployment.
05:23PBS documented the scene in the late 70s, as the Carter administration could not recover
05:27from price controls on gasoline.
05:29By the time the pumps opened, many had been waiting two and three hours for gas.
05:34I've been here since 4.30 this morning.
05:36It's ridiculous waiting on line here.
05:39I couldn't get gas Tuesday.
05:41Republicans say going down the road of price controls leads down the wrong path.
05:46What you'll see if she has her way are lower supplies of goods and services to people who
05:52need them most.
05:54This stuff has never worked in any country at any time in the history of the world, let
06:00alone the history of the United States.
06:03Countries like Venezuela instituted food price controls in 2014, set by Nicolas Maduro.
06:08The country ill-prepared to deal with the demand, still seeing food shortages.
06:12Other countries like Argentina and Greece also seeing, from the side effects, problems.
06:19Largely, around the world, price controls has not worked.
06:22Brett?
06:23Okay, Edward Lawrence at the White House.
06:25Edward, thanks.
06:26Tonight, we're getting reaction to all of these plans from former President Donald Trump
06:30as he adds a familiar face to his campaign team.
06:34Congressional correspondent Ayesha Hasni has the story.
06:36Good evening, Ayesha.
06:37Brett, good evening to you.
06:38So tonight, the Trump campaign is calling the Harris economic plan BS.
06:44The president expanding on that on Truth Social, saying, quote, if you think things are expensive
06:49now, they will get 100 times worse if Kamala gets four years as president.
06:55Under her plan, Kamala will implement Soviet-style price controls.
06:59It is a battle over who can fix the economy.
07:02And last night, the former president posted a TikTok video about the rising price of groceries
07:07like eggs and milk and butter, saying it's a, quote, disaster.
07:12Also, last night, Trump pushed back on allies who say he needs to tone it down on the personal
07:18attacks.
07:19Trump says that he's, quote, earned the right to go after Harris and President Biden because
07:23they use the Justice Department to go after him.
07:26I'm very angry at her that she'd weaponized the justice system against me and other people.
07:31Very angry at her.
07:33I think I'm entitled to personal attacks.
07:36So meanwhile, Trump's newly appointed senior adviser, Corey Lewandowski, pouring water
07:41today, cold water, on reports that he's been brought in because Trump may want to push
07:46out co-campaign chairs Chris LaSavita and Susie Wiles.
07:52There's going to be no change at the top?
07:54I believe that's to be.
07:55I believe that to be true, Martha.
07:56I absolutely do.
07:57Look, Chris and Susie are consummate professionals.
08:00They have steered a very impressive ship through here.
08:04Trump's running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, in the meantime, was in Wisconsin today speaking
08:08to the Milwaukee Police Association.
08:10The pair and their surrogates, we are told, will be offering some counterprogramming next
08:15week in an effort to try to steal some of the spotlight from Harris and Wiles at the
08:20Democratic National Convention.
08:23Lewandowski tells Fox News that Trump is going to ramp up his travel in these last 80 days.
08:28Gosh, 80 days.
08:29That's it.
08:30Getting in front of voters.
08:31He is rallying in Pennsylvania tomorrow.
08:33Brett?
08:34Countdown is on, Ayesha, thanks.
08:37Market comeback rolled on for a seventh consecutive day thanks to fading recession fears.
08:42The Dow gaining 97.
08:43The S&P 500 was up 11.
08:45The Nasdaq rose 37.
08:46It was the best week for Wall Street since November.
08:49The Dow surging almost three percentage points.
08:52The S&P 500 gained almost four.
08:54The Nasdaq jumped five and a third.
08:57President Biden says negotiators are closer than they have ever been to a ceasefire and
09:01hostage deal between Israel and Hamas.
09:05Talks are expected to resume next week as relatives and friends of hostages are making
09:09their feelings known in Israel.
09:12National correspondent Jeff Paul reports from Tel Aviv.
09:17They march in the streets of Tel Aviv, many of them family of hostages.
09:21Knowing this latest round of negotiations might be their last chance.
09:25If it won't happen now, we believe that none of the hostages will be alive.
09:33As the fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas continues, we're learning so too will
09:38the negotiations to bring the war to an end.
09:42After two days of talks in Doha described by officials as both positive and constructive,
09:46another round starts next week in Cairo.
09:49In a joint statement, the U.S., Egypt and Qatar said in part, this proposal builds on
09:54areas of agreement over the past week and bridges remaining gaps in the manner that
09:59allows for a swift implementation of the deal.
10:02That deal, the work of President Joe Biden.
10:05We are closer than we've ever been.
10:07I don't want to jinx anything, but it's much, much closer than it was three days ago.
10:14So keep your fingers crossed.
10:15Without providing specifics, Hamas has reportedly accused Israel of not sticking to the original
10:19deal.
10:20But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel appreciates the efforts of the
10:25U.S. and the mediators to dissuade Hamas from its refusal to a hostage release deal.
10:32But adding to the tension, an attack by Israeli settlers on a Palestinian village in the West
10:36Bank that killed at least one.
10:39In the latest of a series of attacks condemned by both the White House and the Israeli military,
10:44Witnesses say the settlers burned cars and at least one was hurt by gunfire.
10:50Now Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to travel here to Israel tomorrow to continue
10:55ongoing diplomatic efforts with the ongoing negotiations.
10:59A senior White House official also saying they're working on closing the remaining gaps
11:03in this deal next week in Cairo to finally solidify a ceasefire once and for all.
11:09Brett.
11:10Jeff Ball, live in Tel Aviv.
11:12Jeff, thanks.
11:13There's new reporting tonight about an alleged Ukrainian operation to sabotage the North
11:18Stream pipeline.
11:19Wall Street Journal writing Ukrainian private businessmen funded a shoestring operation
11:24that was initially approved by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
11:27The CIA reportedly warned him to call it off and he tried, but the general in charge ignored
11:33him according to the reporting.
11:35In May of 2022, the plan was allegedly carried out by six people on a small rented yacht.
11:40The twin natural gas pipelines targeted had carried Russian natural gas to Europe.
11:45Vladimir Putin blamed the U.S. Ukrainian officials deny any involvement in the attack.
11:50An investigation by German authorities has yielded one arrest.
11:54It is now focusing on the general in charge and his aides.
11:58That general was replaced by President Zelensky.
12:00He told the Wall Street Journal he knows nothing of any such operation.
12:05Up next, we get some analysis of Vice President Harris's economic plan from Larry Kudlow of
12:10Fox Business.
12:11Keep it here.
12:12I am today ordering a freeze on all prices and wages throughout the United States for
12:18a period of 90 days.
12:20While the wage price freeze will be backed by government sanctions if necessary, it will
12:26not be accompanied by the establishment of a huge price control bureaucracy.
12:32I am relying on the voluntary cooperation of all Americans.
12:39Well, that was President Richard Nixon with his plan to have the government control wages
12:43and prices back in 1971.
12:46Now Vice President Kamala Harris wants to try a version of it.
12:48The headlines back then in the New York Times, not that complimentary.
12:53This 90-day wage price freeze and there were a lot of articles about it.
12:57Now the articles that we see about Kamala Harris, when your opponent calls you communist,
13:01maybe don't propose price controls.
13:03Kamala Harris's economic plan, good politics, meh policy, how the Biden-Harris economy left
13:09most Americans behind.
13:11With that, let's get some analysis from Larry Kudlow of Fox Business.
13:15He joins us from New York.
13:16Good evening, Larry.
13:17I can imagine your take, but let me have it.
13:21Thanks for having me, Brett.
13:22I appreciate it.
13:23Look, this is price controls by any other name.
13:28I mean, it's like a sheep in sheep's clothing.
13:30It's price controls because it's price controls.
13:33But here's the thing.
13:34I mean, we know how bad that turned out for Nixon.
13:37Price controls never worked in Russia, Soviet Union, Venezuela, Cuba.
13:42They don't, they never work.
13:43They cause shortages, they cause black markets, and eventually they cause higher prices because
13:49the controls are lifted because people are yelling about shortages.
13:53But no one really knows what she means by price gouging.
13:58There's no definition.
13:59There's a lot of blah, blah, blah in their announcement about rules and the Federal Trade
14:05Commission.
14:06Well, the Federal Trade Commission has tried a bunch of cases about price gouging or so-called
14:12corporate greed, and they have lost them all over the past three and a half years.
14:18And one more thing.
14:19I was looking, I mean, Ms. Harris is yelling about beef producers, I guess, and poultry
14:26producers and grocery stores.
14:28So I looked at their corporate margins.
14:31Are they making any money?
14:32I mean, if they're gouging somebody, Brett, they must be enormously profitable.
14:38And they are not, okay?
14:40The grocery stores' profit margins, 1.2 percent.
14:45Meat, beef, and poultry, 4.7 percent.
14:50All of American business, 8.5 percent.
14:53Look, if she wants to go after somebody for making too much money, here's what.
14:59Apple 26 percent, Microsoft 36 percent, NVIDIA 53 percent.
15:05You see where I'm going on this?
15:07There's no case to be made.
15:08No one knows what it is.
15:10But it's bad.
15:11If it ever worked, it would be bad.
15:14The grocery stores, if they were price gouging, they're just really, really bad at it, because
15:18at 1.43 percent, it's not that good of a margin.
15:22Let me play a couple of sound bites from Democrats who are defending this, or trying
15:26to right now.
15:28Donald Trump's been clear he wants to further cut taxes for the most profitable and biggest
15:33corporations and for the richest Americans.
15:36There will be a stark contrast in the economic policies of these two candidates.
15:41This is really going to be a plan about lowering costs and making things more affordable.
15:47And you know, no one is saying that it's easy out there.
15:50But we're certainly getting an economy that's getting better and better.
15:56Not a lot of specifics there on defending the specifics of the plan.
15:59What she did say was the tariffs that former President Trump wants to install will then
16:05essentially be a tax on people.
16:07How do you respond to that?
16:08Well, we don't know that he's going to have a baseline tariff.
16:11Actually, in his North Carolina speech, he didn't mention the baseline tariff.
16:16He mentioned reciprocity.
16:18That is unfair trading practices and negotiations with, say, China or other countries that may
16:25be hurting us.
16:26So in a sense, that's a straw horse.
16:28It's a lot of phony stuff.
16:29We don't know that.
16:30Trump will cut.
16:31Look, the Trump tax cuts, and every study, National Bureau of Economic Research, different
16:37Federal Reserve people, economists from Princeton and the University of Chicago.
16:42The biggest beneficiaries of the Trump tax cuts were the middle class and the lower middle
16:47class working folks because corporations make more money, small businesses make more money,
16:53they pay their employees more money.
16:56You can't have jobs.
16:57You can't have an employment without a good employer.
17:01But I just want to say something else.
17:03In the plan that we heard today, this is the troublesome part, I know the price controls
17:08are the headline, and I get that, but, but, but, but, there's a massive volume of spending
17:15through the tax code.
17:18There are tax credits for almost everything under the sun.
17:20And I've talked to a bunch of people who know about these things.
17:23You're going to run at least two trillion dollars in additional spending and deficits
17:31and therefore borrowing.
17:33And I want to make that point because nobody could be serious about getting inflation down
17:39unless we get spending down and unless we get deficit spending down.
17:44This is so important and it's overlooked in the criticisms about price controls, but
17:49it's part of that plan.
17:50It's going to be upwards of two trillion dollars.
17:53Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget put it at 1.7 trillion over a decade and would
17:57go to two trillion if the temporary housing policies are in there.
18:01You have to also admit, and you worked in the Trump administration, that there was not
18:05a lot of deficit debt reduction in the Trump administration either in the big picture.
18:10So both Republicans and Democrats have added significantly to the national debt.
18:15Yes, but can I just tell you, I mean, he had to spend emergency money on COVID.
18:21OK, you can't deny that.
18:23It was bipartisan.
18:24Look, the Wall Street Journal editorial today, which I think was very important.
18:31It basically shows that Biden deficits were twice what Trump's deficits were.
18:37That's the Wall Street Journal editorial.
18:39That's not my view.
18:40That's what they're saying.
18:42So I think, look, there's just, look, let's face it.
18:45If you want a permanent end to the inflation, then we are going to have to have spending.
18:51One thing Trump said that I really liked, said it in North Carolina and he said it at
18:55Bedminster yesterday.
18:57He wants to rescind unspent, you know, obligated but unspent funds.
19:03And that in the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act and other acts, the building acts, there's
19:11probably over a trillion dollars he wants to go after that.
19:15It's in his platform.
19:16And there'll be more discussion about that.
19:19So my sense of it is right now, the Democrats, they never mentioned spending, Brett.
19:24Come on.
19:25They never mentioned deficits.
19:26They're going to give out tax credits to everything under the sun.
19:29And they want a socialist type price control policy.
19:33Look, it won't work economically.
19:35Everybody knows that.
19:36I'm going to suggest to you, politically, it's going to be very unpopular.
19:42People do not want to hear that government is running the economy.
19:47I don't believe they want that.
19:49Yeah.
19:50And the other question is whether it's realistic at all to get through any place like Congress.
19:54Larry, as always, thank you.
19:57Thank you, Brett.
19:58Appreciate it.
19:59Fox 13 will be one of the nearly three billion people whose personal information has ended
20:03up on the dark web.
20:04We'll have a live report from Miami on that.
20:07First here's what some of our Fox affiliates around the country are covering tonight.
20:10WJZY in Charlotte, a police capture a convicted murderer who escaped from a hospital during
20:15a checkup.
20:16Ramon Alston was detained in an overnight raid on a hotel that ended a three-day manhunt
20:21for that fugitive.
20:22Fox 13 in Memphis with the arrest of a Missouri woman charged in connection to the bogus foreclosure
20:27sale of Graceland.
20:29The Justice Department says Lisa Janine Finley claimed Lisa Marie Presley owed almost four
20:36million dollars to her company.
20:38Prosecutors say that company does not exist.
20:41Breaking tonight, the U.S. Supreme Court has denied the Biden administration's efforts
20:44to enforce its new policies protecting LGBTQ plus students from classroom discrimination.
20:51Ten Republican led states had challenged the revised rules to cover sexual orientation
20:56and gender identity in the Title IX sex discrimination law.
21:00The cases continue to be litigated on the merits in the lower courts, but for now those
21:05new policies cannot go into effect.
21:08New Jersey Democratic Governor Phil Murphy has picked his former chief of staff to replace
21:12Bob Menendez in the U.S. Senate.
21:15Menendez resigned after being convicted of corruption.
21:18Murphy named fellow Democrat George Helmey to fill Menendez's seat.
21:23The move will maintain the party's 51 to 49 majority in the Senate.
21:33It could be the biggest data breach in history.
21:36The personal information of almost three billion, with a B, people has been leaked onto the
21:41dark web.
21:42This could mean identity theft, fraud, other crimes against you and your family.
21:48Correspondent Dana Marie McNichol has details tonight from Miami.
21:53Nearly three billion personal information records, including names, social security
21:57numbers and addresses, were reportedly exposed by hackers, according to a class action lawsuit.
22:04Court documents say the criminals stole the information from National Public Data, a background
22:09check company that sells access to personal information.
22:13We didn't give permission for them to collect that data.
22:16There's hundreds of data collection companies out there.
22:18A California resident filed a suit after learning his and other personal information had been
22:23found for sale on the dark web.
22:26Christopher Hoffman was alerted of the breach only by his identity theft protection subscription,
22:31rather than by National Public Data.
22:35Just yesterday, after the lawsuit made headlines, did the company confirm the sensitive data
22:39was leaked?
22:40The suit claims NPD was negligent since the data was not encrypted, which experts say
22:46is a basic cybersecurity measure.
22:48Why is this company, you know, why do they have all of that information?
22:52And when they had it, who was making sure that they were protecting it?
22:56Cyber experts also say it's hard for people to know if they were affected.
23:00They recommend preventative measures like freezing your credit, which can help stop
23:04scammers from taking out loans or opening new credit cards in your name.
23:09These are highly skilled, highly trained people who are very good at their job, whose job
23:15it is every single day is to come to work and try to attack American businesses and
23:20people.
23:22And the lawsuit is one of several.
23:24It asks the background check company not only for five million dollars in damages, but to
23:29start encrypting their data, as well as hiring a cybersecurity company to monitor their measures
23:36for the next 10 years.
23:38Brett.
23:39Dan and Maria, thanks.
23:42In tonight's whatever happened to segment, the effort to win freedom for journalist Austin
23:46Tice, who was kidnapped in Syria in August of 2012, a statement this week on the 12 year
23:52anniversary of Tice's captivity, saying, quote, I will continue to do everything possible
23:56to advocate for and pursue his release and support his loved ones until he's safely returned
24:01home.
24:02State Department correspondent Jillian Turner looks at where exactly those efforts stand
24:06tonight.
24:08The return of Austin Tice is a top priority for the United States that we continue to
24:12work on really every day.
24:13The Biden administration says 12 years on from the shock disappearance of American journalist
24:17and Marine veteran Austin Tice in Syria, bringing him home still tops their agenda.
24:24And this is something that is so personal to not just Secretary Blinken, but also personal
24:29to President Biden.
24:30Tice's parents have said they've lost faith in the administration.
24:34He's seen what commitment and dedication and determination means in trying to receive
24:41hostages.
24:42Right.
24:43Austin has never experienced that kind of thing.
24:45Tice, a seventh generation Texan covering the civil war in northern Syria, was kidnapped
24:50three days after his 31st birthday in August 2012 under murky circumstances.
24:56He was taken at a checkpoint by a private person.
25:02And it was through a series of unfortunate events that he landed with the federal government
25:09of Syria.
25:10The Tice's told Fox News they were full of hope in November of 2020, when then President
25:15Trump wrote directly to Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad asking to work together.
25:20We've never been closer to having Austin home.
25:24We're working very hard with Syria to get him out.
25:27We hope the Syrian government will do that.
25:30Austin's hopes again renewed just weeks ago when President Biden negotiated a complex
25:35prisoner swap involving seven countries and 24 people.
25:39Now their brutal ordeal is over and they're free.
25:44But no Tice.
25:45The U.S. believes he remains captive inside enemy territory.
25:49But every day when the sun rises, it's still a story for me.
25:53Well, Syria insists it doesn't have Tice, but President Biden said back in 2022, he
25:58knew, quote, with certainty that Tice had been held by the Syrian government.
26:02Right now, the FBI is offering a reward of up to a million dollars for information that
26:06leads directly to Tice's recovery.

26:12Up next, the panel with reaction to Vice President Harris's economic policy reveals, setting
26:16up the DNC in Chicago and the latest from the Trump campaign.
26:20A statement this week on the 12 year anniversary of Tice's captivity, saying, quote, I will
26:26continue to do everything possible to advocate for and pursue his release and support his
26:31loved ones until he's safely returned home.
26:34State Department correspondent Jillian Turner looks at where exactly those efforts stand
26:37tonight.
26:38At the return of Austin Tice is a top priority for the United States that we continue to
26:43work on really every day.
26:44The Biden administration says 12 years on from the shock disappearance of American journalist
26:49and Marine veteran Austin Tice in Syria, bringing him home still tops their agenda.
26:55And this is something that is so personal to not just Secretary Blinken, but also personal
27:00to President Biden.
27:02Tice's parents have said they've lost faith in the administration.
27:06We've seen what commitment and dedication and determination means in trying to receive
27:12hostages.
27:13Right.
27:14Austin has never experienced that kind of thing.
