and lose yourself again ♪ if as the southern wind sings again -- will: good morning and welcome to "fox & friends" on this sunday morning where it's still smemplet i know school is creeping in on summer, and there are those that are already preparing for back to school, but as zack brown is telling you right there, it is still summer. joey: my kid -- rachel: i know. will: every man has his fight. joey: my kid starts school on tuesday, so it is literally the last weekend of summer, and i chose to be up here spending it with you all, so i just want the pat myself on the back -- rachel: you know that i am a firm believer, schools should not start until after labor day. will: the only problem is whenever i find schools -- states where schools start after labor day, it goes well into june. joey: yeah. we're out by memorial day -- rachel: yeah, no, i don't like. that i'm okay if it goes into

june because in northern states, june is kind of spotty weather. july and august are very dependable. will: a full three months is earned. june, july, all of august, that's summer. joey: i would even be okay with year-round school if there were bigger breaks and you got big breaks along the way. my school -- well, anyway, we'll talk about it later, but my son's school is pretty awesome, and they set their own -- rachel: and you have a little girl who's starting kindergarten. joey: yeah. we'll talk about the it later. all right. the ongoing veepstakes to join kamala harris on the democratic presidential ticket. rae that's right. at least three high profile candidates are reportedly traveling to washington at some point point today. will: that's where we find our madeleinely very or rah with the latest on harris' search for a running mate. >> reporter: hi, guys, good morning. minnesota governor tim walz, pennsylvania governor josh shapiro and arizona senator mark kelly are expected to be in d.c.

today to speak with vice president kamala harris. it's not clear where other potential contenders like illinois governor j.d. pritzker and transportation secretary pete buttigieg stand in the running or whether they too will interview with the vice president. shapiro and walz did make changes to their weekend plans, shapiro canceled fund raising vents in the hamptons, and today walz was expected to campaign for harris in new hampshire. he canceled that event last night. as the vetting process reaches its final stage, shapiro is playing defense over an article he wrote for his college newspaper more than three decades ago. in 1993 shapiro, then a 20-year-old student at the university of rochester, wrote palestinians and israel cannot peacefully coexist. shapiro, who is view, wrote in part, palestinians, quote, do not have the capabilities to establish their own homeland and make successful -- it successful even with the aid of israel and the united states. they are too battle-minded to

establish a peaceful homeland of their own, unquote. shapiro's spokesperson says the governor's views have since changed saying he, quote, greatly values their perspectives and the experiences over the years and as a result as with many view -- issues, his views have evolved into the position he holds today, unquote. shapiro says he favors a two-state solution and has been highly critical of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. will, rachel and joey. will: thank you, maaed madeleine. what's interesting about this attempt to analyze whether or not shapiro will make it as. harris:' selection, i'm not sure it's a differentiating issue. if you look at other democratic candidates, they've all essentially been supportive of israel with varying driveways of strength or -- degrees of strength or, you know, pivoting to try not to alienate their muslim or palestinian voter base. but they're all a kind of the same. so i don't know that shapiro

versus walz versus pritzker is going to be an issue that harris and her team sit down with and go, well, this guy has it and it's a problem versus this guy. rachel: so i don't know if it's necessarily just muslim and palestinian, you know, constituencies they're worried about. young people in general through tiktok -- joey: yeah. rachel: -- they deeply believe that there's a genocide happening in gaza. and on the palestinian side. and they're very much opposed to israeli influence on the american government. and so that's what i think they're dealing with with now. kamala has tried to differentiate herself from joe biden saying she's not different. it's not clear how she's different. she's made a few statements, but they both are pretty much supportive, and the war as you can see, things are heating up, but it doesn't appear that any of -- i mean, we're definitely funding it. so there's no difference there. so i think with regard to the vp

candidates, well, i do think that a shapiro at least on sort of face value looks like, a, he's jewish, b, he volunteered in the idf and if then he has -- which we've all talked about this, is it fair taking something somebody wrote when they were 20 years old, but i think she has to walk a fine line because she's trying to -- will: it wasn't that long ago there were protests on college campuses. we've been wondering what it'll be like at the democratic national convention. joey: the democrats have a little in-fighting of their own. we have a statement here, something from politico reporting on john fetterman's concerns about shapiro. fetterman's advisers suggested to harris' team that the senator believes that shapiro is excessively focused on his own personal ambitions, his reservations about shapiro reflect a long-running rivalry between the two ambitious democrats who have risen on

parallel tracts in a politically crucial state. you know, fetterman's kind of become the new wildcard. i don't know -- not really in voting, but just in things he'll say and when he'll take issue. you're talking about a senator and a governor from a state, there's going to be a lot of reason for rivalry -- will: right. that's an intrastate political rivalry -- rachel: actually it's very unusual to have people at that level -- joey: okay, i get what you're saying. rachel: -- to have people fighting at this -- will: i think it's tied to personalities or ambitions -- joey: yeah, that's what i'm saying. rachel: obviously. will: but the point is pennsylvania's increasingly important, and that's why there's all this discussion and, i think, consideration of their governor, or josh shapiro. let's just illustrate how important pennsylvania has become. look at the political ad spending in swing states. democrats and republicans both have spent north, together, over $2000 million in pennsylvania.

-- $200 million. look at the comparison to other states. two things stick out, how much money democrats are spending on their own as compared to republicans, but again, how much more they're spending in pennsylvania versus michigan, georgia, wisconsin, ads, mcand nevada.. -- arizona, north carolina and nevada. axios said it in 2000 it was florida, florida, florida, in 2024 it's pennsylvania, pennsylvania, pennsylvania. the trump and harris 2024 presidential campaigns are set to spend more than double on advertising in pennsylvania than on the other six swing states. the focus on the state could help persuade vice president harris to pick shapiro as her vice presidential candidate. rachel: yeah, there's no question about it, pennsylvania is a swing state. it's at this point looking like the most important swing state. a lot of issues that kamala's weak on. you talked about it earlier, joey, you talked about how she said back in her first time running for president about

fracking -- joey: right. rachel: she's also said she wants to confiscate guns, something that a state like pennsylvania with a very deep and long hunting and gun culture would be very much existence. but mostly -- very much against. but mostly it's a working class state. and i think that, you know, the economy is a big issue. but i'll just, really quick on what we were talking about, it is unusual and we saw this with desantis, it was a sign that something was wrong when so many people in his own delegation, florida delegation, were against him. now, maybe fetterman's a wildcard here, but it's the not very usual -- usually people are very collegial within their states. will: but i think it's a good analogy in no one had a problem with the policies of ron desantis. the divide in florida was about his personal relationships -- rachel: correct. will: and that's what we're seeing with fetterman and shapiro, it would appear. joey: with an eye on the midwest, we were told when j.d.

vance was picked he would be parked in the midwest. and being parked in the midwest at the time, his focus was on kamala harris because she was the vp choice. well, he's speaking out now saying, hey, look, it's been 13 days since haste became the presumptive nominee of the democratic party, and she still hasn't even sat for a single interview with the media. he says, where's kamala? and i think that's a good point. rachel: it's a fair point. in fact, mark penn, who's a pollster, had this to say about kamala harris avoiding interviews. listen. >> i do think she's avoiding interviews. she was thrust into this presidential race, and she's right now formulating whatever she thinks her political positions are going to be for this race. is it going to work? it's going to work as long as she can float above things and not answer any questions and kind of renew the biden strategy. look, i did an interesting question, are you for open borders? about 70% said no. is harris for open borders?

about 700% said -- 70% said, yes. but that's not how voters are voting. they're not voting on the issues right now. will: well, no one is voting. it's the question of how heir responding to polls. joey: yeah. will: and that's what i said yesterday. i think kamala harris is yet to be defined, she's yet to stand underneath the spotlight, intentionally. she's running essentially the same campaign strategy of joe biden, no press conferences, no deep dive interviews, no big tech pose your of kamala harris. and to -- no big techs pose your of kamala harris. when they move on from the glow of this presumed enthusiasm on her placement, i emphasize plaiments, at the top of the ticket. i think that is yet to be seen. and i would like to believe that you can't hide for three months, that it will be seen. rachel: i'm afraid that she might get away with this because the media is so complicit in this. look, the democrat establishment

is saying talking about what she represents, right? she's the first black woman running for president, the first indian-american running for -- they're talking about what she -- a woman. they're running on what she represents and not what she believes. and if what's interesting is, she is now trying to say that everything she stood for back in, you know, when she ran in 2020 in the primary, in the democrat primary, that she's actually changed her to poxes on it. and they're -- positions on it. and they're just saying it and putting it out there, but she's never actually being interviewed on it. and i think what's scary about this is this is like a social media a campaign. and i think they're trying -- they're literally trying to see can we get her to the finish line? just based on social media and events that are scripted and keep her off of, you know, i guess events where she'll be forced to answer questions that she would have been forced to do

had she had a normal primary, had she not been installed, you know,commy style -- commie style into this position. joey: can you blame them? it's not a bad strategy. whether you believe the polls or not, maybe the polls are incredibly skewed and inflated. i know that donald trump always performs better than polls, but whether you believe the surge is true, money is pouring in and endorsements are pouring in. and so they should ride that wave objectively, strategically, and not let her ruin that until she absolutely has to. to and if, you know, this back and forth about a debate, i mean, i really hope the war on fox goes through, but if she and trump don't debate, there is no pressure if other than media pressure for her to be off the cuff and speak on issues. maybe voters apply that pressure, but how do they do that if not through the media, and if the media doesn't turn that direction, maybe you're right. she does go through the rest of this campaign letting others define her in positive and

glowing ways rather than doing it herself. rachel: you know, as you were talking, joey, i was thinking i'm blaming the media, but maybest the fault of the voters. i think it is. the voters ought to demand that their candidate for president in this incredibly courageous period of time that we're living in -- dangerous period of time, we've got multiple wars, we're about to go into bankruptcy as a country, our currency is in trouble, our borders are open, we've never had a higher chance of having a terrorist attack, and we're letting the democrat party install somebody and get her all the way up until october, november without having an interview, without having a debate with the other candidate who, by the way, has been willing to debate anyone, anywhere as you can see from he went into the lion's den of the black journalists' association. will: yeah. meanwhile, the -- donald trump's running mate, j.d. vance, is being defined and we're attempting to know him as a person, and one of the best ways

to do that is to talk to his spouse. ainsley earhart, "fox & friends,"s sat down with usha vance to talk about her husband. it'll air on monday and tuesday in separate parts this week on "fox & friends", and here's some of what you will see. ainsley: you know him better than anyone, and america is just learning about j.d. vance. what do you want them to know about a your husband? if. >> i think i want hem to know that he's, he's a real person, you know? he's a wonderful father. he is an excellent husband. he's my best friend. he is funny. he has all sorts of dork key interests that, you know, anyone of our age could relate to the. you look at the news sometimes and you just see this carrick ature of a human -- care caricature of a human, and i wish people would pause and actually listen to the words that he says and try townes their meaning and their purpose. to understand their meaning and

their put. i think he really cares about having a good conversation about actually changing things for people who have had a very hard time in this country. and changing it for the better, letting them have the kind of life that he's been lucky enough to have himself. that's what i wish people knew about a him. will: we'll learn more, again, starting tomorrow, 6 a.m. on "fox & friends." exclusive sit-down between usha vance and ainsley earhart. rachel: it'll be a two-part series, you'll see it on monday and then more on tuesday which i think will be very insightful. will: in just 15 minutes, governor ron desantis is expected to hold a muse conference as tropical storm debby moves through the gulf of mexico. the national hurricane center is warning debby could become a hurricane before making landfall on monday. rachel: residents along the coast getting soaked with heavy rains and fast winds ahead of the storm's arrival. joey: we're going to check in now with meteorologist ad amend klotz -- adam klotz. adam: hey, good morning, guys.

we're talking about landfall on monday, but folks are going to see impacts all day on sunday. winds currently at 50 miles an hour, but the gulf of mexico is hot, and we expect this storm to get stronger. we are seeing outer bands of very heavy rain begin to batter the coast and actually that little yellow box is a severe-warned thunderstorm. we could see severe storms wrapped within this system as it continues to hit the coast and drags itself to the north. as a result, no surprise here, all sorts of advisories, watches, warning. tropical storm warnings from the southern tip of the state all the way to the north, and you have that hurricane warning, that's in the pink, in the florida big bend because ultimately that's where we're expecting this to make landfall by the time you get into monday. it does continue to strengthen, winds at 85 miles an hour by monday morning. that that makes it a category one hurricane before making landfall, and then it hovers across the southeast for the next several days. it could be there for a little while. this is going to be the final

graphic because i want to show you that a rain. some of those reds particularly in the carolinas and georgia, we're talking about rainfall in feet. there are going to be a lot of potential hazards with this one. of course, we will be watching it. back over to you guys. joey: thanks, adam. i think i'm firmly in the green there. all right, more headlines for you now. new overnight, a palestinian attacker killing two elderly people in a stabbing spree in the midof the day near if -- middle of the day near tel aviv. two others were hurt, no word on their conditions. officers say the suspect was shot to death after the attack. this coming after hamas' political leader was killed in tehran last week. of despite that, the terror group has not claimed responsibility. and check out this wild video of a dog accidentally starting a fire back in may by chewing on a lithium ion battery. according to the tulsa fire department, a dog started chewing on a battery pack before it explodes.

thankfully, the fire department was quick to put it out, and all the pets are safe after a escaping through a dog door. firefighters are now warning people to be careful of where they store batteries. rachel: lucky the dog didn't get hurt. joey: i know. and in my hometown there in calhoun, georgia, the calhoun city schools are welcoming back teachers with a patriotic-hemod assembly. teachers were showing off their red, white and blue apparel and waving american flags x they invited know come and speak. it was really the honor of my year. my son joseph was part of the quartet that actually, they actually sang "god bless america," and he will be starting as a high school sophomore on tuesday, and later that day my daughter margo, or she'll be starting kindergarten, but we got to do her orientation, and she met the mascot. it was pretty awesome, american flag attire. it was like a cruise ship. it was all the teachers, pre-k-12, and they did, like, a game show, a get to know you

game show, and they had mascots like an american eagle. but it is really cool. the superintendent for the school system, which it's a city school system but it's also a charter school, so they have a lot more freedom. and it's a model that georgia as a state promotes. listen, there's four a in this school that we care about, academics, athletic, the arts and america. and i was just really inspired that day. it was awesome. rachel: you sent that video to me after that night, and i was super impressived. joey: they a had the little kids sing ragging odd flag by johnny if cash, it was awesome. rachel: israel and school choice under scrutiny among democrats. could it disqualify him from being harris' vp choice. pennsylvania congressman dan meuser reacts next. might be passed down to you. get ancestrydna and see which traits were inherited, where they came from, and who you share them with.

congressman dan miers. congressman, thanks for being with us this morning. shapiro's being described as a moderate, and those would be two issues where he does not align with the far left, you know, regardless of his own views should he join the ticket with kamala harris, her views define the ticket. but is it accurate to describe shapiro as a moderate? >> hi, will, good morning. yeah, he definitely tries to present himself that way. his record and his history is actually quite liberal. you know, on the israeli issue, yes, he is pro-israel, and he's anti-hamas. that happens to be right now a very controversial issue for the democrat party which is, you know, which is a little stunning in itself. right? and and on the school choice issue, he has stated that he'd be for the school vouchers, but he flip-flopped on that, and he he completely took the teachers' union side over the student

side, you know? if teachers' union have a much bigger political action committee and pac and fund raising than the students, unfortunately, in pennsylvania, so he had to lean that way. look, he is now going to be owning -- and we do believe he's going to be the pick -- he is going to be owning the most radical and dangerously liberal agenda of any presidential candidate by far, right? if i mean, he's going to have to own these open borders, he's going to have to own banning fracking in an energy state. he's going to to own dei, you know, running the military. you know, our dei comes before our military readiness. and that's not me talking, that is kamala harris' positions. will: so it's clear that pennsylvania has become the most important state heading into this election. people have talked about it used to be florida, now it is pennsylvania. that's reflected in the ad spending on both parties in your

state. and even within the state, there are certain areas and certain counties that swing and define the way that pennsylvania goes. is it too simplistic to say despite all these issues we're talking about those ks, those districts in pennsylvania, it will still come back to the economy? what will define those districts in pennsylvania that define? >> yeah, great question. i mean, or definitely the economy. gas with lean and groceries -- gasoline and groceries, like all over the country, but the border is a real serious issue. we've had over 4,000 fentanyl deaths. we get nothing but mispeek from the administration that the border's closed. come on, how many times has kamala harris told us just in the last year that the border was secure? also crime. crime's a real problem, and that's more at a local level aring but there's no leadership being provided. let's face it, kamala harris bailed out violent criminals during the riots a couple of years back in philadelphia.

so it's definitely the economy, but it's those other issues of border, you know, their energy policy we just say it's gas backwards, right? she wants to ban frack. that's hundreds of thousands of jobs in pennsylvania. and it's american national security. literally choosing venezuela and saudi arabia over, over my district, over pennsylvania. so there are some real issues. heir going to have a real finish they're going to have a real tough time overcoming. and on the flipside, president trump is absolutely right on these issues. he's about strength, he's about growth, he's about economic prosperity, he's about national security. he's about taking leadership on public safety. those are just completely inverted and reverse of the democrat platform. and josh shapiro is going to own those. will: it's been brought up here this morning, it seems like that fracking issue which is, of course, tied to the economy through energy and jobs in pennsylvania could be the one that defines the way pennsylvania goes if, indeed, it is the economy as i'm sure it will be.

already deployed 12 warships and the uss theodore roos is svelte to the region -- roosevelt to to the region. the americans, along with other countries, are expected to help israel shoot down incoming drones and missiles. new reports believe iran will attack as soon as tonight and into tomorrow. the attack may also include incoming missile and rocket fire from hezbollah in lebanon. here in haifa, civilians are bracing for the possibility of direct attacks against strategic targets. overnight hezbollah fired 30 rockets into communities along the israel-lebanon border. most of the fire was intercepted by the iron dome, but the move drew a new israeli response with fresh airstrikes inside lebanon. israel's southern front is still unfolding. the israelis ramping up airstrikes against hamas in recent days targeting locations across gaza. an israeli airstrike at a school killed 15 palestinians. others were killed at a

leaders, the president-elect, gone sal low, the face of the opposition is, came out of hiding yesterday to the attend protests. now what? >> hi, rachel. well, that's a great question, now what. but, look, what they did yesterday was truly inspiration ifal -- rachel: yes. >> coming out of hiding mt. face of violent oppression from the maduro regime, they came a out to inspire their people to peacefully claim what they already voted for just a week ago today which is to say overwhelmingly the people of venezuela voted for change democratically to end the misrule of the maduro regime and to institute a new presidency under venezuela's own constitution. so it's really a powerful message that they were sending yesterday. the maduro regime really has no response other than repression. so what comes next? well, i anticipate that, look, the military and the goon squads are already running around venezuela rounding up opposition

leaders, people who worked for the vote including poll watcher, you know, the foot soldier of democracy. it's really deteriorating quite fast, and it's becoming quite a dangerous situation in venezuela. rachel: yeah. well, over 20 countries have recognized gonzalez as the leader, which is interesting. probably the loudest voice is javier milei. what kind of impact will he and even the fact, you know, eric, that spain and the united states who are essentially enablers of the dictator in many ways have also come out is and said he didn't win. so how much longer can this dictator hold on even with the repression and the usual tactics of repression that he's used? >> i think it's really amazing the number of countries that have quickly come out and said is, clearly, gonzalez was the winner on sunday's vote even though the electoral council which is dominated, in fact, controlled by the ma maduro regime refuses to release the vote count because they know that what it shows is that they

lost. and if they reveal it publicly, they have to own that decision. having said that, yeah, you're right, javier milei from argentina was out early and strongly condemning the regime for its actions. we've seen countries like peru, runs -- countries like costa rica but also the europeans and the united states. so this is a very important moment. rachel: yeah. >> can he hold on? the short answer is, yes, he can hold on. and the reason why is because he's the guy with the weapons. people on the streets are peacefully protesting, and maduro also has support of some global bad actor thes, namely russia, china, obviously, cuba. and they have since even the vote sunday, they've centre enforcements, planeloads of paramilitaries to help enforce the maduro regime. so is, yeah, he can probably hold on for longerring but he's lost all legitimacy. rachel: thanks for bringing up the weapons. that's one of the first things the socialists kid was con fisca

candidate the weapons and take them away prosecute people. kamala harris has also called for a mandatory confiscation of weapons, so this might be a very good example for the americans to look at as to why we need our second amendment. it's not for hunting, it's because governments can become very oppressive, and we've seen that in our own country. eric, thank you so much for joining us this morning. great insight, and we hope to have you back. >> thanks, rachel. great to be with you. rachel: you got it. a "fox & friends" exclusive, usha vance opens up sharing how her family handles nonstop negative press. tammy bruce reacts live next. ♪ ♪ we are living with afib. and over 400,000 of us have left

♪ ♪ will: democrats in the media smearing vice presidential candidate j.d. vance from the moment he hit the campaign trail. rachel: now in a "fox & friends" exclusive, his wife usha responds. ainsley: what about the negative press. how does that affect you? >> well, that can be hard. you know, sometimes, sometimes i don't see it all and sometimes i do see it, and i look at it and think, well, this is, this is not the j.d. i know, this is not accurate. and other times it might spawn discussions or thoughts about

what we should do next or how we should live. but i think we've been doing this now for a little while, and i've gotten kind of accustomed to it and grown a bit of a thick skin to to it. so i kind of try not to let it affect the way that i live and the way i interact with my friends and my family. joey: fox news contributor tammy bruce is here to react. good morning, tammy. what's your response to the character attacks and how usha seems to handle it? >> well, she's obviously a lovely woman and centered, and she is a partner with her husband. the more we see her, the better. however, they have with his political career, obvious, already in full swing, she has experienced a great deal, but there's nothing like -- and he already has the association with president trump, but this is different. what i liked what i heard was that she, you know, she understood what was happening. you can hear even in that exchange a little hurt in her voice. my advice, and think this is

maybe kind of shocking to people what happens, that what happens to trump they think won't happen to them, the lies, right, the vitriol, the pushing constantly. but it's -- that -- trump was just the experiment. this is now going to happen to everyone. so, obviously, she says she sees some of it, she doesn't see other parts of it. she should stay off social media completely, and however it is, whatever her role she sees as being with her husband's campaign is being able to work with him as a partner but also just like i think mrs. rump is probably the best -- mrs. trump is probably the best example. melania trump was able to set boundaries, raising a young son with her first term with her husband. she made decisions that were best for her while still supporting her husband, clearly. and this is important because the left is interested very much in disturbing relationships. they were very, working very

hard from according to my friends on the left i think obviously at trying to damage the trump marriage, getting her to leave because the left knows that family creates strength. and they want to disturb those families x. i think the same is going to be the case with the vances. but mostly i think she knows that the left lies. and it's hard for decent people to realize how much they'll lie, but the molly jones -- comments on another network saying that j.d. vance wanted to just make sure white babies were born in america -- [laughter] they literally did not know what they were talking about. she had no idea that vance is married to to a woman of color and his children are biracial. literally the perfect example that they have no idea what they say. they make it up based on what they want their narrative to be. so if she could speak with mrs. trump, fortify her inner circle, know -- you know,

working to make sure -- and for people, frankly, that can cannot with helpful right now, that has to be addressed because it's only, it will only get worse. but, clearly, they understand the importance of what heir doing and the importance for the country. and so she sounds wonderful, and they will work, the left will work to impact that a marriage -- that marriage specifically, and they have to work to make sure that doesn't happen. of. rachel: oh, yeah. they absolutely go after what's strong. if your marriage is strong, if your fam will is strong finish. >> yes. rachel: if your marriage is weak, they're going to go after that. such wise advice. with we were talking about it earlier, tammy, and i was saying donald trump is a good example of how you can take any attack, but you're absolutely right. melania is the right model. she has redefined the role of the first lady. in order to adjust to this new level of viciousness that the left -- >> right. rachel: -- and the media have employed against political families.

and it's very much directed at republican, republican candidates and their families as well. i would only quibble with you on one thing, i think sarah palin was the experiment, but it went into overdrive with donald trump. >> well, yes. and it had to because the reason, frankly, it accepted sarah palin because she was raising a family. she was not -- she's not a billionaire. she did not have the resources to fight this off. and, you know, that's -- normally, this is what has disrupted the left so much. whatever they do can destroy lives. and they've done it. and so hopefully, this will be a turning point. will: all right, tammy, thank you so much. much more on that interview between iowans ally and aishah is vance coming up tomorrow on "fox & friends." thanks so much, tammy bruce. dr. nicole saphier is next. have you always had trouble losing weight and keeping it off? same. discover the power of wegovy®. ♪ ♪

cancer. a new report reveals younger americans are at a higher risk for 17 different cancers. so here for your weekly medical report is fox news medical contributor dr. nicole saphier. great to see you this morning. s&p different cancers -- 17 different cancers on the rise in young people. obviously, getting checked with is part of the process. a big topic, a big mystery, a big wonder to -- reason to wonder, why is this on the rise, dr. saphiersome. >> that's right. i have to give dave for giving a shout-out. but just this week a new study looked at over 34 if million people who were diagnosed with 34 different types of cancers. now, what did they show? they showed that about 17 cancers were on the rise many people who were 50 and lower. now, we've seen studies that have showed us this before, and we know cancer's on the rise, but some of the criticism has been, well, maybe we're just

detecting more cancers with all of our screenings. in this looked at mortality by birth year, so not only did we see a rise in cancers, but we also saw a rise in people dying younger from some of these cancers. now, the cancers that specifically showed people were dying younger were liver, he's tick -- testicular, gallbladder and others and some that i found interesting, these cancers can all be estrogen-sensitive. and what causes increased estrogen in our bodies, will? excess fat. fat cells actually produce estrogen. estrogen can cause cancers, so being overweight, being obese is an independent risk factor for cancer, sedentary the lifestyle as well not to mention our western diet which is full of ultra-processed foods and some of those toxins can be very damaging to the our bodies. will: well, count me among the people, not a regular visitor to the physician, so i need to get in for these checks.
