6:06 am
events scheduled. guys, back to you. pete: thank you, madeleine. it is the fund raising season, you think about it, when both sides have locked it up this early, this is the moment to rake in that a wash -- that the cash. and if you watched the nightly news, it was nonstop coverage of that a fund raiser that happened four blocks from here with the three former presidents. we'll see how much they talk about the guy who more than almost doubled that and, as i said, i'm going to do it at my house. rachel: yeah. he did it at his house, no venn queue charge but did it without celebrities, would want former presidents surrounding, just him, and he's going to double the amount. it's pretty impressive. will: what he does seem to represent beyond simply the monetary figure p it signifies a coalescing around donald trump. you can feel it happening. he is nominee. the republican party, the donors, the base have do alessed around donald trump. and -- coalesced. and and you talked earlier with tammy bruce with. pete: yep. >> this event you're dealing

with support earth of ron desantis, supports, major funders of desantis, nikki haley. the individuals who were thinking, well -- and i think this was a little bit of wrong think -- that anybody could do this or these people would be better than trump. messing the moment -- missing the moment and the mood of the american people, the seriousness of what it is we're experiencing. not if you're going to a big gala at radio e city music hall with the celebrities. that's the democrats. it's all bread and circuses. don't look at us, don't see what we're doing, don't look at how the country's a dumpster fire, you know? look at the celebrity the standing next to me, whoo. americans have had it. and this election is a reflection of that. you see it in the polls with the swing statements, you will see is it tomorrow night. rachel: yeah, she's right. the american people have had it. but it's also a interesting that the issues that donald trump -- and it's not justs that the he was talking about these issues in 206. if you go back -- 2016. if you go back to those old videos before he was the
6:08 am
president of the united states, before he ran, he was talking about china and manufacturing. he was talking about the border in 2016. every republican consultant said this is toxic, and, you know, everything, everything that he has championed including trying to run the government like a buzz and making america -- like a business and making america energy independent, he's been talking about that for decades. he championed it, he start thed doing it, joe biden gets in, doubles down on the democrat, you know, policies which were the opposite of his, and now american people are going, oh, we need that guy back. pete: all this fund raising is going to be needed for not just the air a washes or but the ground wars. -- air wars, but the ground wars. it seems to be a boost at the rnc, they're going to release record-breaking fund raising numbers, also a new and renewed focus on the ground game. you've got to bank early votes. the rnc, turning point usa,
6:09 am
other groups focus on that the -- rachel: we had a great interview with scott pressler which you guys can catch if you want talking just with about that. pennsylvania in particular wisconsin, the strategies that they're doing to get that vote out earlier. will: meanwhile, the squatter you've heard about in the bronx, gun-toting, arrested, turns out also a illegal immigrant, also member of a venezuelan gang. bill melugin tweeting the following: another example of a suspected -- [inaudible] rachel: good job. will: -- can member being released into the u.s. and why vetting at the border should be scrutinize. this guy was convicted of multiple crimes, yet he was still released into the u.s. why? if we don't have access to venezuelan records and databases. how much vetting can really happen? pete: and the answer is very little. rachel: right. pete: because we don't have access to, as he pointed out,
6:10 am
the paper records in their county of wherever they committed crimes. they can use false names, which they often do, use false social security numbers. so in this case this squatter or not only -- he broke into the country illegally, he's a member of an illegal gang, had illegal guns, is adequating -- squatting in a place illegally, then is released with no bail. rachel: right. pete: think about it -- [laughter] rachel: it's so unbelievable. no american would get this kind of privilege. by the way, when the owners of this apartment or, i mean, this house, first called the cops and these the people came out in front of the cops, the gang member went like this to the homeowners. will: really? rachel: yes. for those listening on fox radio, put his hand and went across his neck. and the cop was there, and and they couldn't do anything. it's absolutely -- people are watching this kind of lawlessness. and meanwhile, venezuela and our fbi and our cia a knows this happened in venezuela, emptied
6:11 am
their prisons. for the last two year, heavy been doing that. they're collapsing economically, we're helping them buying some oil from them, but they want to get rid of these bad guys, so they just res leased them. our government knows it, they're not telling congress even though congressmen have asked for the documents, and they're endangering our lives. that is the most deadly gang, and they are spreading and metastasizing all over latin america. and more importantly, here. will: yeah. biggest gang in venezuela. two big takeaways -- [speaking spanish] just like ms-13, the sinaloa cartel, because this is what's happening at our southern border. this is just coming through. the other takeaway, i don't think we talk enough about property rights. rachel: so important. will: it's fundamental liberty. rachel: it's who we are. pete: just like everything else, it's been inverted, upside to down in a world driven by ideological democrats. if you didn't see it, you can rewind and watch off the wall
6:12 am
where will and i talked about where these squatters' rights come from. new york state has a bill that probably won't pass that would address this, but florida recognized this and said this is not going to happen. we're going to evict people who are in orr people's homes. it can be fix easiliment. rachel: of course. and one of the reasons people to want to come up here was property rights. you don't have strong property rights in latin america, and now we're turning into one of those third world countries that people left. will: property is a fundamental right to life and liberty. all right, turns now to you headlines starting with a fox news alert, two are dead and seven hurt including a police officer at a shooting at an outdoor mall near miami after a dispute at a bar. police gave an update earlier this morning. >> heroic actions of our police officers today prevented the incident from escalating. one of the officers, the one who was struck with four years with of service, applied a tourniquet on himself.
6:13 am
we thank god that our officer is safe and secure. will: that the officer was released from the hospital this morning. the suspect was killed in a shootout with responding officers. the u.s. is crafting a new prisoner swap package to secure the freedom of detained reporter evan gershkovich9 and marine chet van paul whelan -- veteran paul whalen after the kremlin rejected previous offers. for, covisits has spent over a year in a russian prison as he awaits trial on spying charges. whalen has been held since 2018 after being convicted on espionage charges. a village in illinois is reportedly looking to hire former chicago mayor lori lightfoot to investigate its own mayor for misusing taxpayer funds and more. locals are calling for her to step down. >> transparenciful. we don't know how our money's being spent.
6:14 am
we can't, we are about a $7 million deficit because the board of trustees who handle the money, they haven't received any of their documentation. will: local outlets report the village's board of trustees is considering paying lightfoot $400 an hour. rachel: to investigate of? will: on to the ufl. san antonio with a little trash talk ahead of their match saying, or memphis, the bulls are here. i like that one. [laughter] more games tomorrow including the houston roughnecks taking on the d.c. defenders. that game kicks off at a 4 p.m. eastern time tomorrow. and those are your headlines. pete: by the way, did you you can ufl with the rock? will: i did. he said it's going really well. they merged ufl and xfl. pete: yeah. will: i like localizedded
6:15 am
nicknames. pete: you like localized everything. will: brahmas, that's awesome. pete: here's one thing that a can't be localized, you don't have a localized military. we have one national military. so here's the -- i have a new book out this morning,9 it's called "the war on warriors." it comes out on june 4th, you can preorder it right now and be one of the first ones to get it. the reason i say that is i wrote a previous book called battle for the american mind with david goodwin, and the problem with education is 100-year-old and deep, but if you want to change your situation, you can move to another statement. you can switch a different school and find a different -- rachel: yeah. or change your school board. pete: change your school board. there's only one pentagon, only one 101st airborne, and if the heft captures and destroys those, we undermine our ability to fight and win wars, and and the men we send into combat are more vulnerable, and and we're going to get people killed
6:16 am
because of the social engineering that's happening inside our units right nowment i do tell a lot of my own stories, talk about what it's like to be in combat, the brotherhood, the meritocracy, just the sense of purpose that a comes with that, but i also interviewed dozens and dozens of other guys currently serving, active duty, as well as out and they share the same feelings that a this institution is off the rails because of idealogues trying to tear it down and change it into something else. will: you said as opposed to your book where the educational rot is deep, you said when it comes to this, it's broad but shallow. pete: that's why there's hope here -- will: meaning the guys aren't buying here. pete: obama and biden pushed a lot of garbage onto our war fighters, you know? gemmed orer and racial stuff, all this stuff of in universities has made its way into the ranks. but, yeah, the guys that join these days and the mid-level officers, they don't buy it. they know what real war fighting looks like. it's politicians pushing it to appointees that strongarm
6:17 am
generals and say, hey, if you want to get promoted, you better follow my nonsense, and there's stories of the nonsense generals were willing to do that they knew would hurt war fighting capability in the future. here's why the education issue was very deep, this one is broad but shallow. meaning if you want to change the environment at the pentagon, all you need is a new commander in chief that's -- someone like donald trump who would say we're going to take the handcuffs off the war fighters and focus on war fighting, meritocracy, what really matters and the constitution as opposed to how to do we change the standards to make it easier for x person to get in or y with or person to be in this position. rachel: right. pete: the firsts and isms that you see all over the military. and then you've got to change the incentive structure for generals. tease generals, they count on just sailing through and getting their defense ing -- contracting job afterwards, and they funnel it back to their buddies, and there knost incentive to challenge the status the quo. ray if you could stop generals
6:18 am
from getting paves by going on to boards -- pete: we talk about that, or bigtime. rachel: would that so only -- some of the problem? pete: sure, it would. because you get pushback against civilian leaders to say i'm going to take my stars off. i'm done. i won't serve this, because this isn't serving thing trigger pullers who are supposed to be doing the job. so i saw this over 20 years, how this changed. will, you mentioned the back cover of the book. i had 'em put it out up on the screen. so we have the back cover as well. will: hook at that. ing. pete: in addition to the glamour shot, the quote is part of why i wrote the book. in 2001 i joined the army to fight extremests. twenty years later, that same army labeled me one. i was identified as an extremist by my own unit and and orderses revoked for a particular mission, and that's when i said enough is enough for me. i said, i'm out, i'm writing this book, and and i hope future
6:19 am
generations will serve. well, you'll realize, i wrote a letter to my sons at the back of this book. it's a heart felt letter to my five on sons, do i want you to serve. because recruiting's way down. rachel: it's way down. and it requires, like, there's a legacy of -- my dad served, my brother serbed -- pete: that's it. all the vets i'm talking to all the time are asking the same question, do i want my sons and daughters joining many think tear -- this military? that's a question dethat de-- key question that we address in the book. you can get it right now. will: fox news books.com, the war on warriors. you can preorder it, it comes out june 2nd? pete: june 4th. will: but you can get it right now in. blue steel glamour shot of pete on the back in a fox nation belt buckle, breaking one of his own rules wearing black. pete: it's a deep navy blue. rachel: i'll say this, i know the full story of how they labeled him an extremest, that story alone is worst this book.
6:20 am
it's unbelievable. pete: and it's dedicated to all the war fighters past, present and future. rachel: and now pete's on the same extremist list as me. [laughter] pete: another one. rachel: all right. president biden still lag with hispanic voters -- lagging with hispanic voters. will: our next guest says trump's lead in that demographic is the key to winning, still ahead. introducing allison's plaque psoriasis. she thinks her flaky gray patches are all people see. otezla is the #1 prescribed pill to treat plaque psoriasis allison! over here! otezla can help you get clearer skin and reduce itching and flaking. with no routine blood tests required. doctors have been prescribing otezla for nearly a decade. otezla is also approved to treat psoriatic arthritis. don't use otezla if you're allergic to it. serious allergic reactions can happen. otezla may cause severe diarrhea,

♪ ♪ rachel: president biden struggling to pull ahead in the race for the white house as the latest fox news poll reveals hispanic voters prefer trump as our next president. our next guest says in a new op-ed that the hispanic population is the key to winning the 2024 election. al a grade doe ortiz is the president and ceo of the job creators' network, and he joins us now -- alfredo. it's so great to have you today. we know that the that the hispanic vote is important, but you lay out in this op-ed that, basically, whoever wins the this is hispanic vote will win the election. >> yeah, absolutely. thank you, rachel, first of all, for having me and good morning. rachel: of course. >> i truly believe, you know, if you think about where we are today, 15% of eligible voters are his a panic voters. and if you -- hispanic voters. and if you think about the last
6:25 am
election, it wasn't necessarily won by millions of folks, right? it was tens of thousands the of folks that made the difference across just a handful of states. if you think about arizona, georgia, wisconsin, nevada, it was literally tens of thousands of votes that made the difference. those alone represent 43 electoral votes. so if you make a difference just by a couple of points on hispanics, you win the election. and, remember, trump carried 38% of the hispanic vote. george w. carried 40. i truly e believe at the direction that the hispanics are polling now, i think trump could pull away with at least 48-50% of the hispanic vote. rachel: so donald trump doesn't take a lot of advice from consultants, alfredo. he was told not to talk about the border back in 2016, that he would be called a racist for that. he went ahead and did that, and he's been proven right about that and many other issues. but if you were advising donald trump right now and you were a consultant for him, what would you tell him to do to improve his numbers even more?
6:26 am
i mean, here's some polling here that says 41% for trump, 31% for biden, 18% for rfk jr. if you wanted to help trump solidify those numbers and increase them, what would you tell him to do? if. >> well, rachel, the biggest thing to remember is that polling doesn't necessarily mean that they're going to be showing up at the -- rachel: good point. >> -- election day, right? the first thing is to make sure that these hispanics that are polling and trending towards trump, that they actually show up on election day or, quite frankly, do early mailing and stuff like that. but really from a messaging standpoint, i have to tell you with, trump has it right, and the republican party has it right, right? we're about faith, family, education, jobs, the economy, safety in our communities which, you know, borderer security is a major issue for hispanics. it's not an immigration issue, it's a border safety issue. rachel: right. from and the criminality that's coming in through our porous border, that's impacting the
6:27 am
hispanic communities to a great extent. and so hitting on these themes, i think, is the number one thing they can do. rachel: joe biden went on spanish television, univision, and and his whole message was trump hates you, he's a racist, he hates latinos. what can dom trump do to counteo counter those messages? he going -- is he going on special television? >> i think what he needs to keep doing is going with on these stations where they actually take him because i don't think they actually want to give him the media attention. but it's doing the rallies in areas that really do make a difference. rachel: yeah. >> i don't think donald trump is afraid of doing that. we hear he's probably going to do rallies in new york, for example. but going to these communities where i think hispanics are there, you know, like i said, nevada, arizona -- rachel: yeah. >> -- and really playing a major role. i mean, his pan if ecs are really, really circling around a him and supporting him. so he feeds to do more of that
6:28 am
and have these coalitions really also speak out, you know, for him. rachel: yeah. >> i was a commissioner, for example, on the white house economic prosperity initiative, and so having folks like -- [inaudible] for example, being able to peek out for donald trump, i think, are important. ray rau i was recently at a hispanic neighborhood here in new york city, alexandria ocasio-cortez's neighborhood, and the hispanicss there are not happy at all. that might be his first stop -- >> yeah, absolutely. i saw your interview, that was great.

6:34 am
i wasn't quiet then, and i'm not going to be now. i think it's really critical, i think it's compassionate to stand up for women and girls, protect what title ix enshrined and give them the opportunity to compete fairly, to have privacy in their locker rooms and compete safely. rachel: amen. >> they deserve that opportunity, and i'm not going to be quiet about it just because a very loud are minority is screaming at me that i'm a bigot. i'm not. it's compassion if nate, like i said, to stand up for women and girls. will: what people do know about you, jennifer, they do remember that you were the brand, what, or president for levis. you know something about marketing, you know something about building a brand. and and here you are now building xxxy. >> yeah, that's right. you know, i took the last couple years to think about what i wanted to do next, and i realized i didn't want to go back to work in a stifling corporate culture. and corporate culture has become that, you know? i interviewed in a lot of places. i was asked if i, you know, regetted my actions, and i
6:35 am
realized i just didn't want to deal with that. i wanted to create my own corporate culture where freedom of speech was paramount, open debate and dissent because i think that begets creativity and unnovation, and i felt like this brand was the culmination of everything i've done in my life as a young athlete, as somebody willing to speak out and say, you know, sort of controversial true things and as a brand builder which is something i love, love, love to do. i love to create brands that intersect with culture in meaningful ways. and i think that's what this issue needs. we are the only brand to stand up for women and girls' sports. will: you have great stuff on set. pete: great stuff. you're making a bet on the silent majority here, that most women want products that support women. [laughter] >> that's correct. most recent polls show 80% of americans agree with us, but we all know that's not the story told. in the media. and it's a really loud silent majority that's ideological, that is not looking at truth and
6:36 am
facts. men's and women's bodies are different. that's why there are two separate categories. and i think if we can make this cool and we can make amazing product, and you guys have some awesome product there on the set, we can normalize speaking out and saying true things and standing up for women and girls. but you're absolutely right, most people agree with us because they see the tooth in the matter. it's not -- it's really just common sense. we're just hoping to normalize standing up for your daughter. rachel: jennifer, telling the truth isn't just common sense, it's actually revolutionary right now. you know, i don't want to let any lie pass through me, and you have been an example of courage and truth telling in a moment of craziness that we actually need. and, by the way, it's worth remembering that when you were saying these things, it was almost, it was unheard of for anybody in corporate america to take the position you took, and you have been vindicated on many levels since then. we know what happened to kids --
6:37 am
will: and, jennifer -- rachel: but great job -- will: you have stuff with a message, but you also have, you know, this is athleisure -- pete: this is for you, rachel, roar. rachel: i do a lot of that.

that's okay. at first i was in a way adverse to fame and i didn't understand the power of it, how it could swing both ways. and finally as i got down the road a little bit and started achieving some mote ryety, a little -- notoriety, a little bit of success here and there, i started to realize, oh, man, this is a superpower. fame is a superpower when used correctly, i believe. you can use it to influence people and also a use it to influence other people in terms of, again, being direct and being honest. will: so let's be direct, let's be honest. there was a time that you used your fame, and it was a time that not everybody was happy -- [laughter] and that was of a few years ago a. >> that's right. will: and you said i've never done this before -- >> i've never publicly endorsed any presidential candidates or a vice presidential candidate, so i figure let's kick this conversation off this way by me officially, publicly endorsing you both. will: are you happy that you made that endorsement in 2020? are you happy with the state of america.
6:44 am
>> who? am i happy with the state of america right now? that answer is, no. do i believe we're going to get better? i believe in that. i'm an ott missic -- optimistic guy, and i believe we can get better. the endorsement that i made years ago with biden was i one i thought was the best decision for me at that time. and i thought back then when we talked about, hey, you know, i'm in this position where i have some influence and it's my job then, i felt like that then. it's my job now to exercise my influence and share with this is who i'm going to endorse. am i going to do it again this year? that answer is, no. because with i realize what that caused back then was something that tears me up in my guts. back then and now, which is division. and that got me. the takeaway after that months and months and months i started to realize that, oh, man, that
6:45 am
caused an incredible a amount of division in our country. i realize now going into this election, i'm not going ooh to do that. i wouldn't do that because my goal is to bring our country together. i believe in that in my dna. so in the spirit of that, there's going to be no endorsement -- [laughter] not that i'm afraid of it at all, but i just realize that this level of influence, i'm going to keep my politics to myself. and i think it's between me and the ballot box. but i will tell you this, while like a lot of us out there not trusting of all politicians, i do trust the american people, and i trust that whoever they vote for, that's going to be my president and that's who i'm going to support 100%. will: you mentioned, you're very influential. to the point of this: we talked about it, you running for president. people talk about it, you've talked about a it. >> yes. will: so are you ever going to seriously run for president? answer that question seriously, consider it seriously and make
6:46 am
that a mountaintop run for president? >> sure. as of now, no. that's not my intention, will. i'm not a politician, i'm not into politics. i care deeply about our country. i'm a patriot, i believe you are too as a well, and right now my desire and my priorities are my babies and school dropoffs and pick-ups and things like that. that's important to me. i also feel like in the spirit of bringing people together and bringing our country together, i don't know if that's the right thing at this point. i don't know. is truth is -- will: as of now. >> as of now. pete: as of now. rachel: wow. that's a lot to unpack because with he says a lot of different things that are really interesting, will. maybe you can help me understand. he says i endos end -- endorsed last time, i'm not going to endorse anymore partly because he doesn't want the country divided, but he also a admits the country's not doing well, but then he says the country is going to do better. so that makes me think he's not
6:47 am
going to vote for biden and maybe vote for joe biden -- i mean, donald trump, but he won't say -- will: well, i don't know. [laughter] rachel: did i get that right? pete: my takeaway was i don't think he's a political guy. he dippedded his toe in the water, bad idea, didn't go well for him, for the country or professional ally for him. like a lot of trump supporters watch the wwe, the ufl, all of that. and i think it was probably, hey, i got a little too close to that sun, i don't need to do that. but then maybe he runs in 202028. will: rachel: what'd he saw say to that? >> he's the most followed man in america, maybe america's biggest star. in the world of hollywood if you do not enforce joe biden, that's seen as as a tacit acceptance of donald trump. i'm not saying -- i don't know how he's going to vote. i have no idea. i'm just telling you while for some it's like or,, oh, it sounds like -- others are, like, oh, my god, that's existential. by the way, it's not just him.
6:48 am
taylor swift hasn't come out like she did before. maybe she will, it's still early. but joe biden is losing support, okay in and in part because of the state of america which he addressed right there. because four years ago a people thought that was a return to normalcy. now people sees, is this normal, you know? if every bit of insanity being accepted into america today. i think you're right, pete, he definitely describes himself as an independent. i don't know how politically he considers himself, but i do think -- and you can watch. it's an hour, an hour of this stuff. and, by the way, deep into wrestling too. spotify, apple, youtube, fox nation. the whole thing's up on fox nation right now. he says he has to keep climbing mountaintops. i do this, it's what a i do, i say, look, man, you're a man, you think about legacy e -- rachel: you don't ask me that. [laughter] will: well, i'm getting around to it. rachel: you're a man. pete: i'd be fascinated to hear his answer. will: he talks about a climbing mountaintops, and i don't think he has crossed off the list the
6:49 am
idea of that being a mountaintop. rachel: do you think he might run? will: i think it's -- i would not be surprised if it's part of those mountaintops. pete: very interesting. check it out, the whole conversation, the will cain show, an hour with the rock. very well done, sir. will: thank you very much. a. rachel: yeah, super interesting interview. the first saturday of every month is national play outside day. we have the hottest toys that will get your kids out the door this weekend. ♪ (♪) try dietary supplements from voltaren, for healthy joints. how do you transform your outdoor space
