♪ ♪ ♪ something big, i feel it happening out of my control ♪ pete: welcome to "fox & friends" weekend on june 2nd, year of our lord 2024, and that's a shot of the coast lien of florida. coastline. rachel: cocoa beach. pete: cocoa beach. rachel: that's where where i want to go. pete: good name p. maybe some cocoa drink on the beach? rachel: cocoa butter tanning lotionsome? pete: i wasn't thinking that, but that's a possibility. good morning, guys. will: good morning. pat: pete: hanging in? if we've will yeah. pete: it was a late night. i was a little late. i got a lot of extra the sleep. i didn't set my alarm, and i got here at 5:5 of. got here at a 6:01. will: got woken up by a phone call -- pete: but i got here.

we were up a little late, not as late as former president trump who, as we mentioned, went from our interview to a fund raising event and then to a ufc fight at newark where he got a rousing reception. rachel: and he had a fund raising event before us. pete: and he sat down with us for, will, i think you're right, nearly 900 minutes. it's always nice when the producers are holding up the cards saying you have 5 minutes and he goes, no, we can keep going, and we did. it was a wide-ranging discussion that we with look forward to sharing a lot of with you this morning. rachel: and, pete, you asked such a great question of the president. you said what will happen if they put you on house arrest, something that, you know, if you're from venezuela, it's familiar but to americans, in the so much. here's what he had to say to that possibility during the campaign leading up to the november if election. pete: some have suggested you could appeal straight to the supreme court because of the special nature of this case. when it comes to the legal maze that you're still facing, and

they could -- the judge could decide to say, hey, house arrest or even jail. how do you face -- >> i'm okay with it. i saw one of my lawyers the other day on television saying, oh, no, you don't want to do that to the president. you don't beg for anything. it's just the way it is. pete: interesting, how candid he was and comfortable in the moment in a a way in which most americans, anybody, human beings facing the idea of arrest or house arrest facing the biggest campaign of your life, might be later bit more uneasy about it. but he seems content with what's happening and how to move forward. will: it is a pretty shocking answer, you know? if they put me in jail, they put me in jail. and he said he doesn't think the public will have the appetite for it. he does point to an inflection point in america. you see the weaponization of the doj. and, by the way, that is pretty much a bipartisan consensus at this point. only the far left seems to think this was an application of justice. you have bill ackman, you have

mega-donors,. nontraditional republicans going, what's going on in new york? this is not an appropriate use of the justice department. and now here's trump the saying i think we're arriving at an inflection point. if you think putting me in jail is something the public will withstand, you will arrive at the point of no more from the public. rachel: yeah. here he is. >> these are bad people. these people are sick. and they do things that are so destructive. i mean, look what they did from the day i got there, and i don't know, you know, a lot of people said we have no choice but to elect trump, republicans, because the only one that can withstand this. don't ferret, if it weren't me, they'd be going after somebody else. and i know a lot of the competition, they wouldn't do so well. [laughter] they'd be saying, mommy, take me home, i want to go home. [laughter] this is brutal. but these are sick people. and, for instance, the 5 5 intelligence -- 55 -- 511

intelligence agents. it was before the election. pete: we just had kevin o'leary on last hour, and you mentioned people in this country, but i hadn't thought about other countries looking at this system and going, what is going on? imagine how little we understand about the process, imagine being a foreign country looking at what we're going to a -- doing to a former president based on charges we don't understand, and they thought our system was the gold standard as far as transparency and fairness and equality under the law. and they're looking at it and saying america's not what it used to be. rachel: i really liked the way kevin framed it. maybe it takes a businessman, it's definitely the kind of language donald trump understands, which is america is a brand as a welsh you know? if overseas at least. and that brand has been tarnished by this process. it makes us look like a banana republic. they aren't good for business,s as kevin said, so there's a hot riding on this.

and in latin america people think this is, like, i mean, they can't believe what they're seeing because this is the kind of tough they see in their dysfunctional, corruption countries, but it seems -- speaks to how corrupt we are. and i think congress can do a lot more in this process. even the jack smith if trial, that's still, you know, out there, and that was funded by the doj. i mean, there are opportunities to use the pursestrings that congress has not used, and and there are other things that prosecutors in different states can use, and that's been something happening on social media where people are, like, maybe this is the time for knew hullly assured destruction -- mutually assured destruction. do to the democrats what they have tone to the republicans. a love of people, we don't want to go this, but what's the answer to this? pete: the other thing that struck me was, yes, he answered the questions, but how often a he went back to policy issues. rachel: that's true. pete: kept going back to energy, to the border, to military, to

vets. kept going back to trade. kept going back to china. i mean, he was -- kept going back to the issues that people are feel thing. yes, the insanity of this trial is beyond frustrating for everybody and for him, but you can only belabor that for is so long. he pivoted very effectively, i thought -- will: you know, i think the other perhaps most reflective or human moment was a question asked mull if billion times, what -- multiple times, what will you do, if hecht ared, how will you use the justice department. you asked that, rachel. i followed up, pete at one with point asked him what type of attorney general would you look to the appoint. and i think a lot of people are looking at at this moment and saying, you know, does donald trump say, no, my purpose is to deweaponize the do to j, or has this pandora's box been opened, and he basically said to us, i don't know. rachel: right. because he did it before -- will: i don't know how to put

this horse back with in the barn. i don't know how how you walk back from the if battle that has been drawn. by the way, we're going to share all of this with you this morning. we had some technical issues, but we're going to play this interview, as much as possible for you, coming up in the show. so we hope you stick with us. you'll hear directly from the former president in his own words. rachel: yeah, absolutely. i was just going to say that he, when he came into office, he had the opportunity. and we talked about that with with him. he had the opportunity to go after hillary clinton for crimes that she actually committed, crimes that actually are very serious. she had the subpoena, and she destroyed documents and took a hammer and bleach bit to her information, and donald trump could have done a lot of things. he could have said let's open an investigation into the clinton foundation, let's look into those records. he didn't do that. and that's why that question was so interesting when we asked him, yeah, you say success is going to be your revenge, but now this verdict. and he said i don't know what i'm going to do.

it was really human. pete: he went to a ufc fight, but he used a fufc analogy in that answer. it's like two fighters that hate each other at the beginning, but at the end they're hugging. that's how i thought our system worked with me and hillary. we may have said certain things on the trail, but we move if on. and, by the way, as will said, the interview is coming as soon as we've got it dialed into the system. it's coming to you. but we'll move on in this moment because there's another trial starting this week, and it is hunter biden. and ahead of that a hunter biden trial, or joe and hunter took a leisurely bike ride near their delaware vacation home. jury selection set to begin tomorrow on the case. we had criminal fen attorney lexie rigden on the program earlier, so what should we expect in the hunter trial? here's some of what a she said. >> the trial of hunter biden is not probably going to last very long. i mean, or the evidence against him, it's a pretty straightforward case. he filled out a form alleged hi

falsely saying he was not addicted to drugs in order to get a firearm and there's a lot of evidence that, in fact, he was addicted to drugs at that time. one of the issues the defense has telegraphed they're going to use is the definition of what an addict is and whether or not he should have known what addict means in terms of filling out that form. will: i mean, we're used to semantics, you know? the definition finish depends on what your definition of is, is from that forward to the definition of a male and a female. everything in the world isn't real, it's just a fight over how you describe reality, so this legal fight is going to be a fight over, i guess, the definition of addict. hunter went to rehab, he should have known, but with that will be the point of contending. but, i mean, you know, it's a sphwaight straightforward or case. that doesn't mean you're going to get a straight straightforward outcome. pete: that's exactly right. it's almost the perfect contrast

of the -- this is the one about the file to get the gun. and, by the way, that question is perfect because that's why will and i have going to go off the wall later next hour to talk about this trial and hunt's legal troubles, kind of remind you how we got here. it's not that complicated of a case. rachel: it's the least interesting of the bad with things he's done, to me. [laughter] i find selling out the country for money with china and russia and take making your family rich and having weird shell companies, that's the kind of stuff that i would expect -- pete: like foreign agent stuff over here, but we do the gun charge. only the gun charge. will: or we put someone on trial forking, you know, $130,000 of, you know, an accounting error. finish that's america today. turning now to your hid liens -- headlines, chad day bell was handed the death sentence after he was convicted of killing his first wife and two children belonging to his second wife in 2019.

[laughter] pete: but most people do -- rachel: most white people do. [laughter] pete: maybe that's what it is. will: i didn't know that was a racial thing. rachel: it was a little bit. pete: or a catholic thing? ray i don't know. i never had one.

built by the american military, the one costing us taxpayers more than $300 million broke apart and remains out of service. former e navy seal cameron hamilton helped train idf members in israel. he joins us now. cameron, thanks for your service to our country. how important is the world's view of our commander in chief when it comes to when conflicts start and how they're conducted? >> it's incredibly important. it sets the entire tone and and underbelly for every negotiation we have. it sets the elements of how other nations perceive us, our strength, our perceived weaknesses. it also createds an, and factor on emboldening our enemies and shoring up relationships that need to be vital and secure. what we see out of this current administration is, i think, an absolute disgrace. so many weakness and that's the point here. a rack of leadership -- a lack of leadership leads to greater

chaos internationally. pete: you have joe biden touting this plan that hamas put out a statement saying we love this. it's basically a ceasefire, and hamas stays, and the hostages come back which is a good thing, but ultimately, hamas loves it. why does our white house love something hamas loves? >> that's a great question. what exactly are we asking for here? the israelis are simply asking that the palestinians and hamas be dismantled, they return the hostages, and then they'll enter negotiations for a more sustained peace. rye now we want to placate hamas in a way that's really egregious. i think there's a very healthy sense of wanting to insure there's a cessation of conflict there. most people don't want to see the war drag on further, but at the same time, israel must secure its border and protect their citizenry. pete: the pier, it's a serious is re-election of the failure of the united states military. it was put in place by our

assets that we were going to help maintain, we put it together and it lasted a week, and then it broke apart and floated off, ask now we're trying to repair it. are we less capable than we think we are? >> i don't think we brought the proper resources to bear to to actively implement some of these python system bridges like what we find in different parts of the world. i think yet with again we're using this as a political victory rather than addressing the nature of what's going on internationally here. so the pier was, i think to be honest, just a pure political sideline. it was something we could say we could do but wasn't going to have strategic impact, but it was a nice if talking point. it wasn't designed for those waters or the torrential downpours that you find in that a part of the world. so yet again what we find in the administration is a continued effort to simply placate to the radical heft of their party rather than actually provide to substantive change can and strengthen our relationship with israel to insure there's a lasting and sustainable peace.

pete: let's put something in that wasn't designed for those waters for a political outcome. that's not what our folks in uniform are supposed to be used for. cameron hamilton, thank you for your time. we appreciate it. >> thank you. pete: that a kind of moment of the pier breaking apart is reminisce is sent of what happened in afghanistan, something we talked to donald trump about at length last night as a well, and you'll hear more so from. because the failure in afghanistan is a failure of military leadership to stand up and tell the truth about the implications of policies. and that's why you should check out my new book, "the war on warriors." it's out on tuesday. if you order it right now, you'll have it on tuesday. and it outlines the devastating impact of what happened in afghanistan, what military leaders or should have been willing to do, how our commander or in chief abandoned the troops and what it says about a capabilities going forward and the world's perception of our fighting men and women. we tell the truth about that and what else is happening in our military. "war on warriors."

venn. is and some of your supporters have said, quell, you know, mutually -- you know, we were just talking about the weaponization of the justice system against political opponents. some of your supporters have said is, welsh the only way to stop this is mutually assured destruction, right? you've said, no, my revenge is going to be success for america. you just had this verdict. do you still feel the same? what's your, what's your thoughts on that? >> it's a really tough question in one way because these are bad people. these people are sick. and they do things that are so destructive. i mean, look what they did from the day i got there, and i don't know, you know, a lot of people said we have no choice but to elect trump, republicans, because host the only one that can withstand this. don't forget, if it weren't me, they'd be going after somebody else. and i know a lot of the competition, they wouldn't be doing so well right now. they'd be saying, mommy, take me

home, i want to go home. [laughter] this is brutal. who thinks of these? and they think about it, just like they say i'm guilty of -- and, you know, all this information was from so many years before the election, you know? it was before the election. rachel: that's a great point, so you're talking about the intel if agencies. obviously, remember what chuck schumer said? if you tick off the intel agency, or they'll find a way to get you. if you're elected, are you going to reform the intel community? if what exactly are you going to do to make sure they don't target americans like this? >> first of all, if you remember, when i took over, we had a guy named comey. he was there. i thought he was terrible, actually. and he he tried to get me and i reversed it on him. some people say he cost hillary the election is and he didn't want to. but he was a bad guy, not a capable guy. evil, an evil guy. they were doing things that, i mean, i won't mention if here because so conspiratorial.

i don't want to be conspiratorial, it's too niece show. but bad guy, i fired him. then i fired strzok and page, i got rid of that that whole group of people, and we were doing great. look, it's a very interesting question, and i say it and it sounds beautiful, right? my revenge will be success. and i mean that. but it's awfully hard when you see what they've done. these people are so evil. and at the same time, the country can come together. i'm saying this, but the country can come together. you know, during my term prior to covid, we had the most successful country we've ever had. will: i hear you struggling with it. i hear you with say it's a tough question, a bit unsure. you famously said regarding hillary clinton, lock her up. you declined to do that as president. >> i beat her. it's easier when you win. and they always said hock her up, and i felt -- and i could have done it, but i facility it would have been a terrible thine been a terrible thing.

and then this happened to me. so i may feel differently. i'm not sure i can answer the question. hillary clinton -- i didn't say lock her up, but the people said lock her up, lock her up. okay. and i said pretty openly, all right, come on, let's relax, we've got to make our country great. and you lock up the wife of a president of the united states -- rachel: but they want to lock you up over $130,000 of an accounting -- >> and a perfectly stated accounting thing. but, you know, people also say can you bring the country together, and the answer is yes. success will bring the country together, because i had it together. before the china virus came in, i had it together. we really had it together. and it would have stayed. i think it would have stayed. everybody was doing better. the country was doing better than it had ever done. and we're going back to those same policies and then some. rachel: americans have lost a lot of trust. especially online, especially

with young people. how do we rebuild that trust in institutions, the cia, the fbi -- >> you're right. rachel: some people think that one way to build trust is to declassify things that etch's talking about. you talked about i don't want to be a conspiracy theorist. so if you were president, would you declassify -- you can answer yes or no -- would you declassify the 9/11 files? >> yeah. rachel: would you declassify j, the fk files? >> yeah. i did a lot of it. rachel: would you declassify the epstein the files? >> yeah. yeah, i would. pete: attorney general. we talked the about how to you fix the doj, how you bring justice back to this country. people's faith in the system is9 shattered, i mean, absolutely shattered. >> it should be. pete: so who do you choose? do you have a name that's top on your -- >> i do have a couple and one many particular. i made a lot of good choices. i got that one wrong. i was very loyal to one because he was the first senator to

endorse me. as soon as conflict came up, he ran for the hills. and, actually, the second one, he ran for the hills. when he heard he was going to be impeached, he was, like, a different person. had to get rid of him. and i would say that was the one thing -- one of the truly important positions is attorney general. and i was very disappointedded at both of those attorney generals. jeff sessions was finish you know, continue blame myself too much. he was -- i don't blame myself too much. he was some position in alabama, and he wanted to be so bad. and he was the first senator to endorse me. and, again, i was sort of a civilian, i didn't have a lot of people, i didn't know that many senators. he went to a rally in mobile, in fact, we had 72,000 people. but he came to the to me and he said i'd love to be the attorney general. i didn't see it, and then he came three or four times and i said, you know, just out of loyalty, i did it, and he ran

for the hills because it's nasty. this is a nasty business with. this is a nasty world -- pete: how do you find -- >> i know barr, barr was threatened. in all fairness to him, he didn't want -- you know, he was attorney general. he was a respected guy. and they said they were going to impeach him. i understand that. i said i got impeached twice and my numbers went up, which is unusual. i said it's not so bad. to be impeached. he had no idea what they were going to -- but he was going to be impeached. they didn't know why. it's like they took me to trial, there was no crime. they were trying to devise a crime during the trial, that's how bad it was. but with barr, you know, he let me down. he let me down. he let down our country. he endorsed me the other day, as you saw, but he let down our country. it takes a brave personned to do it. people don't want to be impeached, they don't want to be indicted by these scoundrels who are much more evil than

people -- i'm telling you with, high ma and russia, they're not the -- we have a problem from within that's really bad. so he let us down. the key to really good government where we had, like, lighthizer and some of these people that were really good, it's the person that's at the top. if you get the right person, it's leak magic. it's like in real estate, you know? you put a good super in a building, the building runs well. you put a bad one, it's the same thing. slightly larger scale. i rebelt the military, we did things that were amazing. one of the things that the people who watch your she should know. we defeated isis quickly. i was told it would take five years, i did it in a matter of weeks, right in fast. and i got to know the real fighting generals. there's not woke in the military. they a want are there to be wok- rachel: are you going to fire those generals, the woke generals at the top? >> yes, i would get rid of them,

yeah. but, see, now i know them. i didn't know -- i came in, what do i know? i was a new york real estate person. no, i would fire them. you can't have woke military. you said it so great, you know, you need people that want to win. they want to win wars. that that that's what their purpose is, to win wars, not to be woke. but we do have great military. you look at what we did, lack at the -- i was the only one in 78ing years or something, i didn't start any wars. i finished wars. i got out of syria. i took our soldiers home. i would have moved a lot of them out of germany. not all of them, but i would have moved -- we have 45,000. that's like, you know what that we do by doing that? we're giving germany this massive shot in the arm, and then they don't treat us well many trade. but we have a great military, and there's nothing woke about it other than those top guys. i used to watch milley sit there and talk about he's trying to understand this and that mind. i won't get into it, but certain

minds. i'd say, is this guy crazy? it's one of those things. i've gotten to know a lot of the generals because of the things we did. and we had some unbelievable wins, as you know. we had some wins with terrorists, the two biggest terrorists in the world ever, i took out. you know? so we had some, we have some great things planned. it's very important, the people that run the agencies, if you get the good ones and there's great ones slated, we had mostly good one, we had some bad ones too. rachel: there's so much in there. when i'm rewatching it from having been there yesterday, you know, he's just so honest. i think that is his strength. he's just kind of telling you what he thinks. he speaks from the heart, you know? i loved how he compared, you know, these agencies in the government to, like, if you have a good super in the building, the building's going to be fine. and so he's talking about, hey,

i made some mistakes with some of these people at these agencies. i'm going to, you know, learn from that and pick better people. again with, really fascinating that he was very direct. i asked him if he would, you know, declassify jfk, epstein and, and the 9/11 if files, and he said, yeah. pete: yeah. i mean, it was interesting, a couple of places you heard it there, that's a tough question, what do you do with doj, what do i do with an attorney general. revenge -- he said, yes, revenge will be my success, i believe that -- will: success will be my revenge. pete: but it's difficult. what does that a really look like? if i don't know. i thought your questions about the lock her up and, hey, it's one thing the say it, but another to do it. and then we got even into the military, and he talked about the defeat of isis and what it takes to untie the hands of fighters and get the woke out of

the military. will: yeah. you know, we're going to be playing different parts of this throughout the morning, and it strikes me if -- so last night after the interview the three of us sat down, had a meal together, and we talked. and to be honest, i think there was a sense we wish we could get some more specifics on some things, if we're being fair. i was texting with the producers of the will cain show, and they said, you know, the president's job isn't to lay out the specifics of policy, it's to lay out a grand vision of where you want to take the country. and he said it about the superintendents of a buildingful you hire the right people to implement the specifics, and obviously that's going to be a big thing for president trump, should he be elected people, finding the right people. -- be elected president. pete: and he spent a lot of time talking about the people that weren't the right people. will: how do you end the war in ukraine? how do you deport -- and we get

into this, by the way, how to you deport illegal imgrabs, how to you do these things. and i think it is important to remember you let the person who with says this is going to be my goal, and i do have to hire the right people to implement that. rachel: it did sound like this was some reflection on his part. he did talk a lot about the mistakes he made, those people that didn't seven him well. i think there's been reflection. that's the impression i got. and i agree, these are broad strokes. and he said, you know, i respect these world leaders, you'll see this later on in the club -- clip, i respect this leader if that leader because they care about their own country. we've got to start putting our country first. a lot more coming up, you guys. pete: some good insight from the produce producers of the will cain show. no wonder it's such a good show. will: i want to tell you this, how much throughout the morning, we will air the whole thing -- rachel: on the will cain show. will: go subscribe, and you can

♪ rachel: gen-z is known for bucking trends, and the latest is their relationship with their faith. for the first time in decades, more young women are abandoning religion than men. here to help us make sense of this exodus is gen-z voter caroline. so great to have you on. this is really fascinating to me because we have seen, of course, that religion is dropping off among young people. but traditionally we think about it with men pause that's what's been in the past. why are women moving away from religion? if. >> well, i think it's not only men and women, it's our generation as a whole, miss rachel. see, my generation has grown up in a curated world that is inundated with inawe a then disty, can and as a result of this, we lack meaningful purpose. we lack a true sense of identity. we are desperately searching for something veritable, something eternal, something real.

and we can't find that in organized religion within the confine ifs of organized religion so, forever, we are repelled by that. -- therefore. we can only find that in a relationship with jesus. rachel: you know, or one of the things, and i was reading up on this in order to prepare for this interview, there's at lot of political ideologies out there that are actually affecting the core of, you know, the way women view themselves. so, you know, what is a woman. and so when you're actually attacking something that's actually such a physical and spiritual like who are you as a woman with, that that can also be destabilizing for women and be, perhaps, one of the components that are drawing them away from a religion that has a different answer that is not that flexible, the question of what is a woman. the other thing is that this generation is very lonely. how is this playing into that? because you would think that might if draw them towards religion which, especially organized religion, which could have more community. >> absolutely. i mean, that's so, so sad to

hear but, unfortunately, it's no surprise because when you look around at the society that my generation has grown up in, we see that we are a narrative-heavy culture that has pushed my truth onto my generation. and because we can't find our identity in my truth, we lack identity, or we lack purpose. and like you said, we are lonely and we are depressed. now, we can't find that identity in organized religion. we can only find that identity in his truth, in the truth of who god is. and is so i think that gen-z and my generation as a whole has just rebelled against organized religion because, because we are not finding a relationship there. and so there's -- rachel: sure. well, let's looking a at some of these statistics on the beliefs of accident g -- gen-z women. 54% identify as pro-choice. 61 of gen-z women identify as

feminists. so how much is it that the political identity that they're embracing or perhaps being indoctrinated with is affecting their religious choices? >> i think it's vastly affecting it. but, you know, for me personally i am a pro-life and pro-women's rights mostly because i am a christian and i do find my foundation rooted in his word, the word of god. but i have to say, i do think we are taking the wrong approach as christians, as conservatives when it comes to abortion because, of course, me being pro-life has a lot to do with the fact that i'm a christian, but abortion should be looked at as a human rights issue. it's the largest mass genocide in the history of world. and as far as, you know, women's rights, we should be able to look around and say, hey, females deserve to have rights, to be able to compete in their own sports. that should be common sense. that shouldn't have to do with our faith at all a, honestly. rachel: well, caroline, it's really interesting to hear your perspective. i'm part of an organizationed

religion, i like it, but i understand that's perhaps not as attractive for many people in your generation, but we have been reporting on some revivals among young people, so i think what you're talking about is there is a hunger out there. the question is, are we going to as a culture provide more options for young women and young men to have a full experience, spiritually speaking. i'm really glad you're talking about this. i know you're going to have a podcast coming out soon, and we wish you all the luck on that. >> thank you so much. thank you guys for having me. rachel: you got it. more from our tv exclusive with former president trump at the top of the hour, his take on that guilty conviction and so much more. next. were you worried the wedding would be too much? nahhhh...
