hello ♪ will: good sunday morning to you. welcome to "fox & friends" weekend. if will cain, rachel campos duffy and marly hurt -- charlie hurt sitting in for pete hegseth. if good morning. charlie: god morning. rachel: hello. that's the song. will: hello. shot of atlanta. we're glad to have you with us this morning. we're going to turn though to some serious news this morning. the father of a 13-year-old girl allegedly raped by an illegal immigrant in new york city, in a new york city park, is speak out. he's speaking out anonymously right now, but it's on the cover of "the new york post." he's given several quotes to the post including the open border policy i have never if agreed with because that just invites a lot of things in bedon't need, and look what came in. look what happened to my daughter. just turned my world upside down. and the healing process has yet to begin. my mind is really swirling with all of the anger i have right

now. rachel: that's right. the headline in "the new york post" is that we opened the door to evil, which is exactly what happened. here is another quote from the dad of that 13-year-old. he said we don't need someone like that driving around, walking around, looking for spots where he can be a predator especially when you have a child who's been violated viciously. the instinct that i have, thank god i didn't see this guy. charlie: you know, it's, one of the really sad truths about this, this is happening in a place like new york city which is a democrat stronghold governed by democrats for forever and reliably a democrat stronghold for joe biden. and these are the policies that joe biden has employed that are devastating the lives of the people that he claims to represent. he claims to care about. he doesn't. rachel: yeah.

we talk a lot about women's issues. i know the democrat joe biden campaign would like abortion to be at the top of everyone's agenda, but crime is a woman's issue. you see so many of the faces of the victims in the last few months whether it was laken riley or rachel m if orin, now we have this young girl who was, you know, violated in the park here in new york city, i mean, these are are -- women are vulnerable. biologically it just is the case, and women rely on the state to provide public security because they are biologically vulnerable to being overpowered. will: i want to pivot off one thing you're saying, rachel, slightly. first of all, charlie, you said something yesterday that i think resonates with me. you know, if this were -- i believe her name was amanda knox in italy who was alleged to have murdered her roommate when she was a foreign exchange student,

it would drive the national news cycle as it did in italy for months. we've seen this happen several times where an american is overseas and there's some type of murder story, and i guess the superofficial details can make it more concern superficial details can make it more salacious, but when a foreigner comes onto your soil and commits a heinous and horrific crime, it's a big deal. the thing that you said yesterday, charlie, that's resonating with me, it can make you a single-issue voter. this is a very important issue. here's what i'm pivoting off what you said. actually, we're not talking about women, we're talking about a 13-year-old -- rachel: yeah. girls and women. will: i'm not rebutting you, i'm saying this is even worse because in texas we're talking about a 12-year-old. rachel: yes with. will: these are stories of 12 and and-year-olds being the victims of horrific crimes that would drive the news cycle in the italy, france or wherever, but it's becoming run are of the mill. it's becoming every day. this week would you say that's

the third? we've done this three times this week. we've done a 13-year-old in new york, a 12-year-old in texas, and we've done rachel morin. charlie: and trump gets vilified for talking about this stuff, but he's right about it that people do care about it, and he should be talking about it. he talked, last night he talked about the the-year-old, the parents of the -- 12-year-old. will: actually, this is about rachel morin. charlie: you can't keep track of them all. will: my point, three times this week. rachel: welsh joe biden won't talk about these women and children. donald trump not only talks about it, he calls those families. in this case he invited rachel morin's family to the rally. watch. >> last week yet another biden migrant was arrested for the rape and murder of rachel, rachel morin. i just spoke to her mother,

patricia -- patty, as they say, but patricia. rachel was a 37-year-old maryland mother of 5 who he attacked while she was out for a run. she wanted to stay in good shape, and she ends up getting killed. police believe that the animal if responsible for rachel's killing first murdered another young woman in el salvador, then he fled across joe biden's wide open border. wide open, come on in. and a lot of rachel's family is here. i have to say that they're incredible people, and we're deeply grateful for the brother, sister of rachel, michael morin, erin. would you stand up, please? wherever you may be? heavy gone through, they've gone through hell. we pray that god will ease your pain, and we resolve to secure our border so this will never if happen again. charlie: from the beginning, they've been attacking trump for

talking about these issues as if somehow being offensive is anything compared to having an open border policy that a lets these people in to commit these crimes. rachel: yeah. charlie, he has brought on what he calls angel moms, parents of people, moms and dads, parents of people who have been murdered by illegal immigrants. and you're right, in the beginning it was considered offensive. now i think the fact that joe biden isn't talking about them is turning into a liability. i saw a story yesterday of a home invasion in north carolina. the family was removed from their home and into the if garage while they intruded the home and robbed it. they thought the family was lying about having more money and guns. they brought the family in, they tortured them. luckily, no one was killed, but the family is traumatized. we don't know if that's an illegal immigrant, they haven't caught them, we don't know. but that tortures has all the markings of these kinds of violent criminals, and just wait until that comes out.

i'm pretty sure we're going to find out, if the ap if is willing to tell us who it is, that those are illegals because this has all the marking s. the crime is getting worse, and it's getting concern and the victims are getting younger, as you note, will. will: well, meanwhile, this is what the biden administration has been focused on at least for some time, they impaneled this was it homeland intelligence expert group. it's now been disbanded, but it was led up by james clamber. not only a former intelligence -- clapper. one of the 51 that signed the letter saying hunter biden's laptop was disinformation. part of this group, again, homeland intelligence experts group, they identified, they identified people in the military, religious people and trump supporters as the most likely domestic terrorist threats in america. this is from an internal document that's been leaked out from that group when it was put together. it is fascinating.

i just want to share with you what this said. there's a political backdrop to all of this. this is one of the documents obtained by america first legal. it seems that most of the domestic terrorism threat now comes from supporters of the former president. it's not like you want a political advantage, but people have attacked the government and its institutions for the last six years. rachel: this is remarkable, isn't it, charlie? charlie: and you know just to tie this back to what we were just talking about, what's really interesting here is, of course, the real threat, the threat that these people are ignoring is the threat of illegals that are coming into the country who are criminals. but they would rather politicize the department of justice, politicize the department of homeland security to go after their political enemies because that's what they actually care about at the end of the day. they don't care about the safety and welfare of americans. rachel: yeah. it's a police state to go after your political enemies, absolutely. here's some more from these political documents.

it's absolutely astounding. this is from america first legal. they say if you ask researchers to dive into indicators of extremist terrorism, they might indicate bag in the military. this is -- being in the military. and, again, it was america firs- will: got ahold of -- rachel: got ahold of these documents. being in the military or religious. this being identified as an indicator suggests we should be more worried about those. we need the space to talk about it honestly. so, again, this is why you've seen them going after pro-lifers, throwing the book at them, you know? putting elderly women in jail who were praying outside of abortion clinics. you see the purging in the military of anyone who, you know, voted for trump or has, you know, very christian views and values. this is really scary stuff, you guys. this is the kind of stuff you see in communist countries. will: yeah. deputy press secretary andrew bates told fox news if digital

that the white house does not believe trump supporters, military personnel or religious people are a threat to the united states. but the dhs did not respond to fox news digital's request for comment. they might may not -- that may suggest they don't believe it today, but they impaneled a group of experts to identify them -- charlie: part of a much larger pattern where they are clearly going after people they have political differences with. will: no doubt. rachel: and that's why donald trump at his rally yesterday, what was it, the freedom and faith rally that he did? he talked a lot about christians being under attack. and that's something that the left denies, democrats deny is happening. but if you're a christian or a catholic who goes to traditional latin mass, you know the fbi is targeting you. will: all right. we're going to turn to a few additional headlines. the u.s. military says it's taken out three unmanned houthi surface if vessels in the red sea over the past day. the iranian-backed houthis have continued their attacks on the ships in the region including

launching three missiles in the gulf of aden yesterday with. which central command caused little to no damages. if. the fda is recalling more than 2500 coffee products saying they can be contaminated with bacteria that can cause botulism. all the products are made by snap chill llc and are sold under 120 different names like monte car loss, new harvest and bolt coffee. the fda says their conditioning method -- canning method could be allowing bacteria a to grow. canned coffee p. okay, i'm good. hope you are too. is your parent your best friend? well, over half of americans would say so according to a new survey. >> all i could think of the minute you left was i want my mommy. i'm an adult. adults don't want your mommy. do something to make me hate you. will: 58% of adults over the age of 40 say they are closer to their parents now more than ever, and 25% of adults say they

are more similar to their a parents than they realized. well, that's a fact. [laughter] 25%, i'm sorry, that's a little low. you are becoming your mom or your dad. rachel: oh, yeah. that happens. you start to realize that with age. will: oh, yeah. rachel: it's always very disheartening. [laughter] charlie: no, but, i mean, it seems a little unhealthy if your parent is your best friend. you should probably have other friends. rachel: it's worse when they're younger, when your kids are younger and you see those parents that are -- no, i'm not your friend, i'm your authority figure. charlie: right. exactly. rachel: you're going to do what i say. will: but i do hope they hang out with me in a couple years. rachel: that's the beauty of having kids. some of them like you with, some of them don't. i always say we have a lot of kids, the great thing is someone always does like you. [laughter] there's always someone. but they go through that teen phase where they resent you because you're telling them they can't do stuff, and then they

come around, they get married and you're really close again. charlie: and then they realize that the you were right about everything. will: yeah. rachel: of course. you have to be over 35 before you figure that out. will: 35? rachel: at least over 30. you have a while, will. will: before they start thinking i'm right on everything? rachel: yeah. right now they think they know everything. charlie: what does the bumper sticker say? quick, hire all the young people while they still know everything? rachel: that's so great. i love it.

sits at 4% down from 25% when he took office in december. just in december. if and our next guest argues this just highlights the failing policies of his socialist neighbors. mike gonzalez is a senior fellow at the heritage foundation, and he joins us now to explain. the numbers are astounding, and you're absolutely right, this op-ed is so spot on, mike. it is a threat to all the leftist governments surrounding argentinaing or all over latin america. if. >> yeah. hi, rachel. yeah, he sure is, that's why he's attracting so much opposition from colombia, from brazil, from all the leftist networks in south america. they want him to fail because if he succeeds, then they're going to have -- south americans are going to elect leaders like him. and that would be the death knell to tyranny. rachel: so let's talk about what the keys to his success are. i know that he sharked

government agencies -- slashed. he went from 18 to 999 agency -- 9 agencies. what else has been driving this economic miracle? >> well, that has led to a huge drop in government spending which is key to all this. there because if you, when government keeps pumping money into the economy, an economy that the produces the same amount of good and services, prices will rise. you'll have inflation. exhibit a for that is the united states where biden did that when he came into office in 2021. now, biden denies that his spending ways had anything to do with inflation being ignited. economists tend the disagree with him. the reason we have inflation here is because he spends money like sailors on leave, biden did. he should take a page from mel are ei. he has done the unthinkable. argentina was a basket case for many years. actually, a century ago it was a great country. then government spending caused all these problems. rachel: yeah, no, absolutely.

i had a sister who lived there and, boy, the economy was just in shambles. and i, you know, when i asked someone recently, i said, what about -- you know, he's cutting all these government programs, is that making people mad? because politicians are always afraid to cut spending because there's a constituency there, and they just said, no, bringing down inflation is much better than, you know, the crumbs off the government table that they were giving out in these programs. so what's the lesson for america? because you mentioned joe biden, our inflation, you know, under his administration we've had record inflation. what are the lessons for donald trump should he win on how to stage an american economic comeback for us? i know he did it before, but the economy is much worse now than when he took office last anytime time. >> well, that's right. there's two things here. government should not be seen as a jobs program. government is there to serve the people. and when you use it as a jobs program and you keep spending money, that will, first of all, that money does not come from

the government, it comes from us, the taxpayers, so the people will be hurt. and when you make inflation rise as biden has done, that will be with an added tax on the tax we already pay to pay for the bureaucracy. as you know at heritage, we have project 2025 which takes a very serious approach to the permanent bureaucracy. you mentioned president trump. if he gets elected, he will get along with melei. he already does. the biden administration has supported the two hey,s in colombia and brazil who are not friends of the united states. rachel: yeah. who have actually buddied up the china. it's so crazy that we have an administration and a state department that would buddy up with markist, leftist governments that -- marxist, leftist governments that partner with china and reject these free market, western-loving, you know, countries like argentina, el others. really quick before we go, what has been the reaction of the argentine people to this record success for argentina?

>> he remains very popular despite the fact that the left is throwing everything at him. they're having street demonstrations which are partly organized by vast leftist networks outside of argentina -- rachel: yeah. probably soros. >> social media groups -- yeah. rachel: probably soros. all right. really great having you on. thanks to bringing this story to light. it gives us a lot of hope in america that maybe if the right person is in with the right policies, we can have our own comeback here in america. and fast, which is the most remarkable thing. mike, thanks for joining us. >> thank you, rachel. great seeing you guys. rachel: it's always great having you. thanks, mike. new york city set to open a homeless shelter a few peat froe school. our next guest's son will be register in that school in the fall and says it should have gone in one of the empty hotels. that parent sounds off next.

elementary school. will: you know, for years i lived on the upper west side, and i believe it was during covid is they had these issues where to place homeless and drug-addicted individuals in new york city, and i can tell you from firsthand experience, your neighborhood changes. everyone knows it. whether or not they want to admit the truth or not, it is the truth. you will see it on your streets, in your sense of safety. and here i guess for you and other people who live in lower manhattan, right next to your kid's school. >> yes. and like you were mentioning, the individuals that are coming in, they're running the contract as far as this facility, they're giving us soft assurances that we will be great neighbors, we'll have monitors, we'll have a security team, we'll keep folks in check. but as you mentioned, these individuals which we'll never say they're all bad. some of these are good people who need a home, a safe haven or place to lay their dehead, but they do become -- their head. but they do become part of the

saying about this shelter, kenny. in order to provide essential services and support to new yorkers experiencing homelessness, it is critical that every community across the city has adequate safety net resources in place to serve those most in need. this high quality safe haven will be operated by our experienced, not for profit provider partner breaking ground and provide temporary housing and specialized services designed to meet the needs of new yorkers experiencing unsheltered homelessness. this area has seen an increase in the number of unsheltered services for individuals and facilities like this, have been instrumental in our effort to move more new yorkers off the street thes and subways and into shelter is and permanent housing. we look forward to bringing this critical resource online. we are committed to maintaining open lines of communication with the community, working collaboratively to support is our vulnerable neighbors and addressing any concerns that may if arise. it's a long statement but, in short is, they feel it's needed. wow don't deny this is needed -- you don't deny this is needed. but i get the sense like, how

about a little more thought and concern for what you describe as vulnerable neighbors. >> yes, yes. again, who's picking with -- where these places end up at? we want and hope that the people who need somewhere to stay will find a place, for sure. at the end of the day, you can think of maybe it could be a family facility if this happens to slide through and happen. let's think about family because then the school has things in place when they have to deal with the migrant situation coming in. they have things in place for that. there should be no one gender or low barrier situation. will: and really quick,ly, we talk about the streets outside the shelter which is going to include, essentially, the stoop, the front doorstep of your elementary school. what about just the rest of your neighborhood? playgrounds? outdoor spaces? >> yeah. will: what is the neighborhood like in that respect that's now also a going to be impacted? >> yes. it's going to be open to all that. there's multiple open spaces

the rallies, it does provide you prep because you see all the pitches. you see a lot of different things coming at you, so nothing comes as a surprise. that being said, a debate is a different format. i mean, and he's agreed -- you guys have agreed to a lot of stipulations. i don't even know if you've agreed to the latest which is joe biden wanted to sit down during the debate. i don't know if that was agreed to or not, sit, stand. but you still have to sort of practice the strategy. so i'm curious, what is president trump doing to practice the mechanics of how this actual debate will go? and is your, really quickly to add to that, will he be aggressive like he was in the first debate last time against joe biden, or will he -- in the second and third the he took a little more congenial approach to joe biden. >> well, president trump is going to be president trump, but he will be focused on the policies that made made this country great in his first term and his solutions to fix many of the crises that joe biden's policies have created over the

past few years. he'll be reminding voters just how much better their lives were under his leadership than they are today under joe biden's leadership. and as you just said, president trump is prepared because he's constantly talking directly to the american people. he was in a cheesesteak shop yesterday in philadelphia taking questions from if americans. he does hostile media interviews with the press all the time. and president trump is fully aware with of what he's walking into. this is going to be a three on one debate, make no mistake about it. it's with crooked joe and two anchors who have been covering for joe biden and his crime family for years and lying about president trump. but i think it speaks to president trump's courage and determination to fight for this country that he's willing to go into a hostile environment to bring his message directly to the american voters. charlie: certainly not the first hostile environment that he's walked into. but it is kind of interesting -- >> report in. charlie: -- to listen on the democrat side the biden can campaign seems to be sort of helping try to lower the

expectations. they're talking about how joe biden is practicing standing up for 90 minutes at a time. is there the any level of concern that the biden campaign might if successfully lower expectations for joe biden so much that he just barely overperforms and then they walk away with a good news story because of that? >> well, again, i will reiterate is the fact that there are reports that our president, the leader of the free world, is having to practice standing up for 90 minutes -- [laughter] it's very, very concerning. shar char should be alarming. >> he gave an 80-minute if speech last night, and he does that a multiple times a week the crowds of thousands of people. but, yes, the democrats certainly are trying to lower expectations for this debate, and the mainstream media is helping them do that. but again, the question is not whether joe biden can stand the up for an hour and a half, it's what are his answers? what are his solutions to change the trajectory of this country?

what's his solution to put more money back into the pockets of struggling families? what's his solution to shut down this southern border? because we haven't seen one, and his immigration invasion continues to wreak havoc across this great country. how's joe biden going to end the war in ukraine and stand upper -- up for israel in the middle east? he needs to do that on thursday night. rachel: i was talking with some friends about the debate, and one of the people i was talking to expressed frustration from the last debate about donald trump saying there were moments when he could have left joe biden to hang himself really, you know? that joe biden was going off and was getting himself in trouble. this could happen even -- i think there's a greater chance, you know, four years later. we all know he's on decline. maybe he's buffering, maybe he's digging himself into a hole with china and everything else. does donald, have donald trump and his debate team talked

about, you know, sort of it's good to be aggressive, but if joe biden is digging himself into a hole, kind of just holding back and letting joe go? >> uh-huh. well, i won't get into our specific strategy, rachel, but i will say that, again, president trump is going to be prepared to focus on policy, talk about his solutions the make this country great again, and joe biden, we can expect a whole bunch of lies on thursday night. he's been lying to the american people saying that the economy's working. we know that not to be true. he's lied to the american people saying he's done everything he can to secure the border. that is an absolute lie that everyone knows is not true. and his team this past week has been lying to the american people trying to say that we have edited these videos of joe biden, clearly cognitively declining wandering around at the g7, wand withering off the stage at a -- wandering off the stage at a hollywood fundraiser. on thursday night the american people will, again, be able to see joe biden with their own eyes and determine if he is fit

enough to serve as a president for another four years which the majority of the country right now does not believe he can. will: karoline leavitt, thank you so much. charlie: great to see you. >> thank you, guys. rachel: i'm so looking forward to these debates. i mean, every debate that donald trump has is, is exciting, right? i mean, remember the rosie o'donnell comment? my favorite debate moment, remember when he brought in all of bill clinton's accusers and put them in the front row. he always has a surprise up his sleeve. charlie: and last night at the rally in philly, he did -- another one of his polls was how his demeanor should be during the debate, should i be a nice guy if or go in guns blazing? [laughter] and the crowd overwhelmingly supported being a nice guy. rachel: really? if. charlie: yeah. just let him, as you points pointed out a minute ago, let him hang himself. will: hang in -- tune in this week for special coverage of the

cnn presidential debate simulcast, thursday at a 8 p.m. eastern time. let's turn to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth. rick: somebody wants to say hi to their mom. >> hi, mom. rick: that's it? that's all? >> love you. rick: that's better. love you, mom. take a look at the map, it's been incredibly hot, obviously, and we're getting some is really big rainstorms that are about to cool things down. we've got a front that's going to move across parts of the northeast, drop our temperatures down. today's the last day, but it's going to be really hot and sticky again especially from, say, parts of connecticut all the way down towards d.c., feeling like triple digits again. look at this, we've got some severe weather coming, maybe even a few tornadoes across parts of northern new england. got to be watching for this this afternoon. temperatures beginning to crop a little bit, 90 in pittsburgh today, tomorrow everybody at least in the east improves, but that heat goes somewhere, and it goes down across parts of the

central 34r5eu7bs. it's going to feel like 1 is 11 -- 111 is 1 tomorrow in topeka. rachel: electric exhaustion? if half of ev loaner -- owners fed up, likely to return to gas-powered cars, i love hearing this, citing a lack of charging stations and the cost. that study next. ♪ eep feel cool. so, no more sweating all night... or blasting the air conditioning. because the tempur-breeze feels up to 10° cooler, all night long. during our july 4th sale, save $500 on cooling tempur-breeze mattresses.

♪ march shar call it electric exhaustion, a new survey revealing nearly half of americans who own electric vehicles are ready to return them. these fed if-up drivers citing the high cost and lack of charging stations among the reasons why gas-powered cars, including diesels, are still the way to go. energy expert jason isaac is founder of the american energy institute s and he joins us now. great to see you, jason. >> great to be on, charlie. charlie: so this is amazing. even as we know what a file youe effort to force americans into electric cars is, nearly half of american electric car owners are going to return to gas-powered cars? >> yeah. tesla is the only automobile manufacturer where just over half of the original purchasers

of their tesla are evs will go back and buy another one. it's just over half. every other manufacturer of evs it is way over half of people returning back to internal combustion engines. and it's issues because of range anxiety, charging infrastructure, you know, less than 10% of the country believes there's adequate charging infrastructure, and that's accurate. but also the cost. these evs are owned by wealthy individuals, and wealthy individuals don't become wealthy by making bad financial decisions -- [laughter] and they're learning that the cost on these evs of maintenance is outpacing that of gasoline cars even though they drive them fewer miles. charlie: yeah. and, of course, all of these directives about a, you know, just go buy a tesla, it kind of reminds me of let them eat cake. but the range anxiety thing is the thing that a kind of blows my mind. not only does the range degrade pretty dramatically over time, but the range also dramatically

decreases at least temporarily if it's too cold outside or if it's too hot outside. >> yeah. we saw stories this winter of people, their batteries being dead and not being able to charge their electric vehicles. and that's a lot of frustration of ec v owners. and -- ev owners. and now this summer we're hearing stories of children being locked in their evs because all of the batteries dry to the -- die in the car, and that's not acceptable. people shouldn't be alarmed to be locked inside their vehicle, especially for a child or someone that doesn't know how to get out and doesn't understand where the lever is to actually get out of the door, it's quite alarming. charlie: yeah. if your car has to come with a sledgehammer that you keep on the outside of it, you probably are driving the wrong kind of car. but step back big picture. you know, so obviously we have problems with with the cars and, by the way, you know, great. electric cars, you know with,

let's expand the problem here is that government trying to force something when the market isn't ready for it. but even if these things work perfectly, you still have a much larger energy problem in terms of your base load that would allow everybody to charge their cars. i mean, it's just unworkable even if the cars were perfect. it's unworkable without gas engines and diesel engines. >> no, you're absolutely right, charlie. we don't have enough electricity in our grid to meet the demands of today. costs are skyrocketing and -- are getting crushed. i published overcharged expectations with the texas public policy foundation that shows the true cost of electric vehicles, it's astronomical. charlie: thank you so much. great the talk to to you.ha more "fox ve& friends" next. even a little blurry vision can distort things.
