3:00 am
a boat aisle of philly. the animal drifted on iceberg -- i only have 15 seconds because we had to promote jesse's book. we have to go. people saw him. he is really cute. i hop much i see him wally how i saved the ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ are. pete: weekend vibe going here on "fox & friends weekend." good shot of fox square formerly known as the plaza. glad are here with us. she passed test last weekend
3:01 am
rachel campos-duffy. will: back for a sequel and permanent seat between pete and i on the weekends. rachel: i'm excited to be here again. will: great to have you. rachel: that was called the weekend vibe? pete: i look forward to the weekend. i don't know but guys. it's work but it's good to look forward to work. right? will: yeah. pete: better than being like this is the weekend. it's terrible. will: sleeping in is overrated. rachel: i disagree with that one. can't agree with you on that one. pete: we're really glad you are here. join us for the four-hour tour this morning. we begin with disturbing news this morning. part of a trend of violence in the city. shots fired, murder, petty crimes, whatever it is. not just here in new york city but across the country. there is one video, it's on the cover of the "new york post" this morning as well it says this is nyc now. the video is disturbing. we're going to show it to you. if you have got kids nearby you
3:02 am
might not want them to see it. it is a gunman, presumably gun violence. one gunman going after another gentleman in the bronx in broad daylight. we cut it short because if you continue the video, as you can see, are the gunman in black, the guy being shot in red and two kids. rachel: 5, 10 years old just playing there on the streets. and the saddest part about this video and we took out some of the worst parts. the most heart breaking for me as a mom and by the way let's name this video every mother's nightmare. every parent's nightmare. afterwards the kids hug each other. it's just so hard to watch. will. will: it is hard to watch as you mention both of you several times only seeing a snippet of that video. only seeing a freeze frame moment because it lasts longer. the gunman almost does a rotation or a lap around the victims and goes in for another attempt. >> goes back and goes in.
3:03 am
>> the point we're all taken aback by these kids are all around the crossfire. the gunman is having to do some effort not to shoot the children although -- he is not making a very concerted effort. he is lucky children not shot in the video. why is not not just one isolated incident and a new york city story? it follows in the line of not just the rule of law, seemingly falling apart in so many different cities across the country, as you know the effort to defund the police. clean-up is also being rewound in several cities across the country. take a look at these cities now interested in refunding the police. including new york city, baltimore. oakland, los angeles and minneapolis it means dealing with the political reality that voters are seeing the effects of these ridiculous policies. pete: a westbrook both a book called the strongest tribe. the person who is the one who projects strength. these gangs and brazen things in
3:04 am
broad daylight. they feel in some places the strongest tribe. look at portland where have you entire riot unit resigning in mass because they are saying one of their members after 75 days of riots, took one action he is being charged with assault. why would they do their job? if you are a new york city police officer. there is almost no incentive to be proactive. as a result. gangs are now running certain neighborhoods in certain places in minneapolis there are now two autonomous zone, not just one, take your pick. a complete demoralization. defunding the police you want to say it's oops. they are still ideologically dedicated to reimagining public safety. rachel: so glad you brought up that word. when they first started saying reimagining police and law enforcement. i wonder whafd does that mean? well, now we know what it means. look at the video we just saw. that's what it means. last night randy sutton, founder of the wounded blue and trey penny, president of the national
3:05 am
fallen officer's foundation on how this is talking about how the left is degrading law enforcement. they were on hannity last night. take a look. >> i have never seen crime and violence surging across our country as i do today. and it's really not a shock to me though, judge. because what we have seen from the left is an absolute degrading of the law enforcement community over the last several years. we have seen the numbers of law enforcement officers dwindling. the retirements surging. and crime, of course, as a result has been skyrocketing. >> these leftist policies are essentially restricting the law enforcement officers' efforts to protect our communities. they provide safe havens for the criminals that continue to victimize us in these communities which has led to a mass exodus of law enforcement officers from the profession. will: there is no doubt what we are see something connected to larger movement one that undercuts the rule of law.
3:06 am
i think that's the major underpinning not just political it's cultural. there is a mindset in this country that the rule of slaw no longer a rule. we are seeing the effects on american streets. rachel: law enforcement but also culture. remove the cops. who are these people this guy with a gun who has no regard for life and no regard for children that are right there. there is a lot of stuff happening curly but also, of course with law enforcement. i think we are going to see more and more of this. when i drove to the city yesterday in my car, the guy driving me, the cab driver said that this -- he feels like he is back in the 1970s, pregiuliani, a lot of people. pete: a vacuum brings in power. if police are not there as the powerful force and not enabled that's gang violence right there on the streets. retribution for something. you also have a catch and release program where criminals -- we will talk about it later on the program.
3:07 am
ms-13 13 members wreaking havoc. rachel: liberals are wreaking havoc in holiday we had lynnwell miranda famously did the musical hamilton and very famous man really revered in the latino community and in the american holiday community and he did a film adaptation of the musical in the heights when he did that people on twitter and other forces in the liberal woke afind world said even though it was about latinos and allah teen knows the latinos weren't brown enough. pete: in the heights came out and hamilton came out and they made a movie about in the heights. rachel: made a movie about in the heights. it wasn't brown enough. maria murano tried to defend lynn manuel and it didn't go well. finally lynn manuel said i just
3:08 am
have to apologize that i did this. here is a guy very liberal and he knows the rules and so that's what he did. bill maher said this is embarrassing. listen to this slice. >> please, stop the apologizing. you are the guy who made the founding fathers black and hispanic. [laughter] i don't think tough apologize to twitter. for [bleep] sakes. [applause] this is why people hate democrats. it's cringey. do i really think he should apologize? i don't. he just wants to avoice the news cycle. i don't blame him. i understand this. at some point people are going to have to stand up to these bullies. that's what it is. he is a latino making a latino movie with a latino cast. not good enough. nothing is ever good enough for these people. they're like children. we don't raise our children right and it's reflected in the
3:09 am
media. will: is he being criticizing for not indulging a offensive term colorism. what they're making the argument is in the heights which takes place in washington heights doesn't appropriately reflect the community because it doesn't reflect afro latino people. it represents simply latino people. this is lynn manuel miranda has apologized the mob on twitter. not so much the mob outside of twitter. it might be a twitter phenomenon. mentioned murano. an emmy, grammy, are oscar and tony winner. rare to win all the awards. she simply defended manuel miranda. like chris harrison do not -- the lesson here is do not step up and defend anybody else. rachel: can i tell her what they said about her? they said that her defense of
3:10 am
lynn manuel didn't count because she is white passing white adjacent. there are these -- it is so crazy. so, anyway. that's what they said. pete: am i white passer or just white? rachel: actually when you got back from the bahamas, you were not white passing. pete: good point. thank you. i will leave it right there. i don't want to have will try to defend me and he get in trouble a few additional headlines for you as well. antifa members start a brawl. this is what they do best outside of a conservative summit in denver. watch. [shouting] pete: witnesses say the violence broke out after antifa members tried breaking a journalist's phone for reporting on their protest turned riot outside the summit. police responded to the chaos and a standoff ensiewvmentd

3:12 am
honoring deserving people. bauer was able to experience the thrill of getting up to 7 gs in the ride of a lifetime. wow. those your headlines. rachel: that's a cool reward. we are are going to get more heros if that's the reward. will: i didn't save anybody but i did do 9 gs once. rachel: i know you did. we know moment. pete: i did 9-2. will: i did 9.2. you are supposed to say i did 9.3. pete: that's implied. will: juneteenth oldest celebration. president biden signed a bill making it a federal holiday. how the day something obama administration. lauren? >> lauren: juneteenth national independence day is now the 12th federal holiday and the newest since mlk day was established in the 1980s.
3:13 am
president biden signed the bill into law commemorates the end of slavery on union 19th 1865 with union soldiers brought news to the slaves in texas. the bill was passed than newly in the senate. in the house 14 republicans voted no saying it was part of identity politics. listen to what fox business' charles payne had to say in support of the holiday. >> juneteenth allows us, i'm talking all americans, to acknowledge the past while freeing us all to look ahead. sad to see this day is already being politicized or deliberately misconstrued even before the ink is dried. nobody is confusing there with july 4th independence day. >> lauren: there are celebrations across the country. smithsonian in washington, d.c. program to teach the history in texas where the announcement of freedom was made. parades, picnics and concerts and a new york city celebration. mayor bill de blasio announced they will help invest in young black americans. and many businesses are still figuring out how or if to offer

. >> even though you lean this is a natural occurrence. you have got to get on with your life. we didn't announcing it. keep an open mind and look. it's a bit of a distortion to say that we -- the deliberately suppressed that. pete: he always felt like we need to keep an open mind doctor fauci claimed scientists did not deliberately suppress information about a potential covid-19 lab leak. a new "u.s.a. today" op-ed fauci's concerns about covid-19 since february of 2020 were actually kept secret until now. here to react is fox news medical contributor dr. marty that carrie. doctor, thank you so much for being here. >> good morning. >> why we withhold that type of information until now? >> it's pretty amazing, pete, that early, we are talking weeks after the genetic sequence was released after the sequence.
3:19 am
january, before the pandemic started. january of last year, there was not only this conversation but one of these well-known virologists from the united states, from san diego said that it might have been engineered in the lab and that that was a likely scenario. then there was a secret meeting, the notes of which have been blacked out in these emails that have been released. and three days afterwards, this scientist, who raised the concern, completely changed his tune. so, a lot of things don't add up, pete. pete: what's the reason, doctor? why the concerted effort time and time again to say not only do we think it's naturally occurring. >> but if you are saying it came from a lab, you are pushing disinformation? >> i think early on there was an attempt to associate, by dr. fauci and others. the lab leak theory with a military bioterrorism intentional engineering. and i don't think that's what a lot of people are saying. they are just saying, look, the lab was doing gain of function research and that led to the leak and that was funded by nih.
3:20 am
if you were out there funding the lab do you think you would be giving credence to that theory? that's what's at the crux of a lot of this stuff. honestly it's disingenuous for folks. pete: is that part of the reason as you look at it for him maybe wanting to push the natural occurrence is that there was some level of responsibility in the united states, him in particular? >> i think so. plus, just some old guard medical establishment thinking. by the way, it wasn't just then he was promoting the natural occurrence theory. it's still today. he still says that today that it was likely of an animal source from sort of natural evolution even though in those documents they say that many scientists this is from the emails. find that the genome inconsistent with what they would expect from natural evolution. that's a direct quote. >> how can we trust at this point anything or what dr. fauci says after the back and forth and now what looks like a
3:21 am
specific attempt to block something that was quite obvious early on? >> people have a right to be angry right now. they look at this entire incident at the wuhan lab which by the way many of us were saying here on fox news april of last year infected lab worker likely patient zero. people have the right to be angry. biggest case in the history of the world when you think about the consequences. we put our entire faith and stock in one man people have a right to be upset right now. pete: we should have faith just not in men. that's for sure. dr. marty makary, thank you so much. you have been great on this from the beginning. thank you. >> thanks, pete. pete: still ahead shocking video shocking video a great white shot a mile offshore with several shark bites reported in the past few days. what you need to know to stay safe this summer. that's next. ♪

wow. pete: that's scary. rachel: it absolutely does. will: take a look that's a fisherman in new jersey catching a great white shark just a mile offshore. just yesterday in florida a 12-year-old boy was bitten by a shark while standing in waist w. what do you need to know stay safe this summer. director of the shark conservation lab toby daily ingle. good morning, toby. let's start with the obvious question what do we need to do to stay safe this summer? >> that's great question. the thing to remember is when you are in the ocean, you are in the shark's world. that's really where they are year around. so just be really aware of your surroundings. will: you know, toby, we understand the ocean is a shark's environment, i once read a book about rats in new york
3:27 am
city. at any point within 6 feet you of a rat in the walls and floor. in the ocean everybody fears a shark is around the corner somewhere nearby. how close are we to great white sharks in general when we are in the ocean? how close is the danger? >> you know, it's really normal to feel that way. any time you are in the water, you kind of have that fear and awareness. in reality, sharks are probably not very nearby. and if they are, you are not going to know it unless you happen to be in the same place as what that shark might be chasing for food. so, for instance, if people are fishing, especially if they're chumming in the water, that's something to be aware of because sharks could be attracted to those fishing lines. will: i once heard greatest for knowing if there are sharks in the water. taste the water if it's salty then there are sharks in the water. [laughter] media love to jump on the idea of shark attacks as the summer
3:28 am
comes. i have often said and you probably believe this as well. we overdo it. we make everyone think there is a shark attack on horizon because we put it on tv at all times. i talk to you about how far away sharks are what are the real risk? do we need to be taking safety tips into account? what's the real risk when we go to the beach and play in the ocean? >> honestly a very, very small risk. tiger shark attacks really depend on one thing, and that's people. so the reason we start to see more sharks sightings around this time of year is because this is beach time. here in florida our beaches are super popular and so we have the most shark attacks of anywhere in the u.s. but, in relates, your chances of being bitten by a shark are astronomically low. will: that's important to emphasize as the summer comes and we do more and more stories about someone getting attacked by a shark, still remains astronomically low. that low number may be enough for some. for others like myself i will be out there and playing in the

rofl leading the congratulation drivers. rachel: congressman joins us now. >> glad to be here, rachel. rachel: you called for her re345068. do you think it's going to happen? it sounds like she might want to give up this role anyway. she doesn't seem to like it? >> they are running out of people, rachel. if all she can do is laugh which is what she has done by going to the border then she should be removed now. i don't know who they would have in her place. this administration continues to baffle me on the people in charge, including mayorkas and particularly the vice president. you know, for her to say in guatemala that not to come i mean, who is she, moses on the mountain top saying not come and think that we are going -- that it has any meaning or merit? it doesn't. pete: that's the whole point of going to the border, congressman. you can say the border is closed. if you are down there and see that it isn't, it might change
3:35 am
your policy prescription. are you satisfied that even if it visit from her would do that or ideologically are they too invested in their own narrative at this point? >> well, actions speak louder than their words. no, they are not going to do anything. i mean, that's why they are taking the positions that they're. my first question to mayorkas have you ever had a medical physical and his response was he was insulted. i said i'm not asking about what they found. i'm saying have you had a physical? a physical you literally go into the office and ask questions and meet them face to face. and he and -- and i said what's the difference with going to the border, particularly when it effects america in a way it's affecting it. and, you know, his words were study walk the walk. i saw the steel on the ground the posts up you are not building it well, we are investing in technology. really? how good is technology going to be when you have 1.5 million illegal immigrant already in america? technology going to chase them
3:36 am
down? no. we have a saying in the south don't spit in my face and tell me it's raining. and that's what this administration continues to do and we're going to call them out on it. will: you know, congressman if i neglected to get my physical there would be a reason if i wouldn't go to the doctor. i believe there is nothing wrong with myself don't believe the doctors or maybe i'm just lazy that i wouldn't go get the physical. in your sphimtion it's clear a sober minded person would look at this and say it's clear they are not addressing the border crisis in responsible fashion. that leads to the question of why. why aren't they will to get the physical and border crisis at its cause? >> well, they don't want the media attention. they think americans will give them a pass on it. when we went, we -- they wouldn't allow us to take pictures. they had buss that were literally hauling the children out to god knows where so we couldn't see the cages they were in. and it's really an insult what they are doing. and once they are in the country, that's it.
3:37 am
and their end game is to get registered to vote and driver's license and put them on the public dole and have voters. that's the only thing that you can really assume they are doing. because it means votes to them. and they think that's a -- put them in a permanent position to win elections. rachel: i think you are absolutely right. when you go to the question of why. i think you have hit the nail on the head. that's exactly why they are doing it and exactly why they won't change their policy whether she goes there or not. last week, i believe, on laura ingraham's show raymond aroar row had an incident report on the border where law enforcement and mayors at the border were saying we feel like we are helping the cartels. so they are bringing the people across and we just take them and do the next part of the job which is just moving them on to, you know, as you said all across the country. i mean, we are actually doing -- we are forcing our law enforcement to do the work of
3:38 am
the cartels. this is like insanity. >> it is insanity, rachel. if you talk to the border patrol agents. do you know what they're doing? they're changing diapers. they are not doing what they were trained to do. that's why at least they visit. even if you are not going to do anything would highlight the problems. and maybe, i doubt it, i doubt it but maybe it would give them some emphasis to stop the insanity. once they are in the country, they are in the country, we are not getting to get them out. and they will be on the school systems hospitals you name it public. we can't put up with that or try to do what we can to highlight it. pete: happening right now. ralph norman trying to do what you can. we have a few additional headlines as well. it investigators trying to find who killed a prominent south carolina family. police reportedly carried out a search warrant at paul murdaugh's apartment near the university of south carolina in columbia.
3:39 am
murdaugh and his mother maggie were found shot to death outside their south carolina home last week. police have not named any suspect. the psychiatrist who told a yale crowd that she fan sizes about shooting white people in the head says they are the ones with the problem. >> would it be fair to say, based on your expertise, that white people are psychopathic? >> i think so. they have a different concept experience of themselves rather than what they are actually doing. we don't say that we killed all these people and got rid of all the native americans. we say we discovered america. pete: she i speech got a positive reception at yale, maybe it did consider the spot. although the school says it received multiple complaints. whoa. of the internet is lighting up over this chick-fil-a conveyor belt. employee posted a video showing how the system works with the caption a chick-fil-a secret i bet you didn't know. the video shows bags of food
3:40 am
clipped onto the restaurant's ceiling moving from the kitchen be drive-thru. chick-fil-a using a conveyor belt since 2006. learning about it now? that's a cover-up are. now at several restaurants. pete: i'm sure there was a meeting. held for 15 years. how many of my chick-fil-a sandwiches have traveled on conveyor belts. >> i could use that in my kitchen i bet you could. let's turn now to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for our fox weather forecast. rick? how are you? >> i'm good. you could staff your kitchen as well by the way with all the workers in order to make that happen. so you should. >> my workers aren't reliable.

3:46 am
the state for ending the enhand unemployment benefit putin benen place. the owner of dock smokehouse and craft bar owner of adrian and company bernie. welcome to you both. what do you think, brent, of the lawsuit? is this a waste of time? waste of money and state resources? >> good morning, rachel. i really do. governor holcomb has done a pretty good job throughout the entire pandemic in dealing with the problems that we face. especially with us in the hospitality business. you know, last time i checked. the unemployment rate in indiana is 3.9%. which was about what it was before the pandemic. i don't -- you know, in my part of the state, literally, every restaurant and many other businesses are hiring and don't have enough staff. so i kind of fail to see the
3:47 am
reasoning behind continuing to incentivize people to stay off unemployment. i saw the state of maine had actually turned it around and they were offering a program where they were offering 1,000 or 500 bucks for people to go back to work it seems like that would be a much better solution than just clogging up the courts with another lawsuit. rachel: right. bernie, you agree with brent, obviously. do you think that removing these benefits will bring people back to work or some people become accustomed to not working or found other things to do that maybe it would work? >> i think people have definitely changed their routine over the last 15 months. so getting them to come back to work will be difficult. i would say that definitely removing that particular benefit incentivizing people not to work would be helpful. rachel: some people think that the reason that the biden administration has expanded or extended those benefits is that they want to get people kind of hooked on government and not working. what do you think of that?
3:48 am
brent? >> i mean, i don't think anybody wants to not work, you know, especially -- and i speak for my industry in particular. it was a fairly traumatic time. i went around on march 15th in 2020 and laid off 250 'people in person. so people had the rug pulled out from under them. but, you know, we have crossed the river. the vaccine is available. all of my employees have been vaccinated. we gave them a bonus to do so. it's time we move forward and move back to normal in this country. rachel: bernie, what do you think? >> oh, yeah, i definitely agree. i think having a job so many more benefits for the people to have a job as far as just routine of physically feeling better about yourself, earning something for yourself and getting back into that mindset. rewinding the last 15 months is going to be difficult for sure. it's necessary. and there are help wanted signs
3:49 am
on every restaurant, business in downtown jeffersonville it's time to come back. let's go. rachel: i see it in wisconsin. the restaurants, people want to go and visit the restaurants and the establishments but there is just not enough workers. you go into any store whether it's walmart or whatever, you can't find help when you are in there. the store is full but there is not enough workers. what do you think is going to happen in indiana? what's going to happen with this suit and do you think it's going to -- i will leave the last word for you, brent, what do you think is going to happen here? >> you know, i'm not a legal expert so i can't -- i think we should be focused on moving forward and getting back to work. and getting back to the way things were rather than playing around with a bunch of silly lawsuits. i think the governor has done a pretty good job faced with tough choices and that's what a leader does. in my opinion, he has maids the right choices alongs way. you know, i guess i could put a ton of people to work tomorrow. and making more than they would on unemployment.
3:50 am
so, i don't see the logic in people staying at home, you know, i think there is other things at play besides just the unemployment. there is -- it we are at a low unemployment time. so, where are all the workers? rachel: bernie, you brought up a great point there are other benefits to work than just a paycheck. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you, rachel. rachel: all right. summer is here and with the warm weather comes some hot deals. we have got some mega morning deals on the best summer essentials. stay with us. ♪ michael cohen, michael cohen, month money, money, money♪ money ♪ money, money, money imbruvica is the #1 prescribed oral therapy for cll, and it's proven to help people live longer.

4:02 am
publicly aware. this is before covid really hit our shores in march. there is a new op-ed in the "u.s.a. today" written about what dr. fauci may have known. it says i remember it very well. dr. fauci describes a secret 2020 video. january 2020 to talk about covid origin. here's a portion of the op-ed that allison young wrote, as a reporter who spent a decade reviewing hundreds of safety biological add it's always seem obvious to investigate whether wuhan research center possibly played a role given that the initial outbreak happened in the same city. yet for more than a year those who publicly raised such questions were too often deemed a crackpot conspiracy thirst or simpleton who just didn't understand science. perhaps that's because the early concerns among key scientists like the conference call on february 1st, 2020 were kept private until now.
4:03 am
amazing, if dr. fauci did have a suspicion didn't say it, will. will: first of all, i would like to put up the track record of conspiracy theorists, presidential thought quote unquote journalists over the past year. i would like to know whose track record is better. i think when you are being called a crackpot close to the truth when it comes to their response to you. as to whether or not dr. fauci knew this in february of 2020, that's a stunning potential revelation because, as you pointed out, pete, dr. fauci was going out there and still by the way is going out there and saying things largely like this. here's a flashback. >> the mutations that it took to get to the point where it is now is totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human. if you look at the evolution of the virus in bats and what's out there now, it's very, very
4:04 am
strongly leaning towards this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated. >> i mean, the idea, i think, is quite far-fetched that the chinese deliberately engineered something so that they could kill themselves as well as other people? will: say say, rachel, first of all, we need to describe exactly what you have heard. now he is saying have always been open. maybe you left a small sliver. it was definitely small. he said very, very strong. or the other one was very, very farfetched. pete: he said could not. will: built a strawman virus could kill other people. first of all that has not been made. dr. fauci has been slippery wrong and potentially compromised on this topic from the very beginning. rachel: never once admitted or told the truth about the fact that we were funding the lab and this specific, very dangerous research. he sort of sub -- our government
4:05 am
said too dangerous. don't get involved. he subcontracted it through a friend of his. the ecolab or whatever, and then the money went from there into the wuhan lab. you had dr. marty that carrie on at the forefront of this in a lot of ways. here's what he had to say about this, january of last year, there was not only this conversation but one of these well-known virologists from the united states, from san diego said it might have been engineered in the lab and that that was a likely scenario. then there was a secret meeting. the notes of which have been blacked out in these emails that have been released. and three days afterwards, this scientist, who raised the concern, completely changed his tune. i think people have a right to be angry. it's the biggest liability case in the history of the world, if you think about the consequences. but, we put our entire faith and stock in one man. i think people have a right to be upset right now. pete: we put our faith and stock in one man.
4:06 am
s are put too much faith and stock in the chinese. this type of gain of function research was banned from united states so it was effectively outsourced to china. dr. fauci absolutely for how long he has been around. whether a mistake, hopefully a mistake is what happened in china, it looks like he was doing cya from the beginning. you have got to cover this we have to make it look -- even though as we learn more and more, turns out -- rachel: we need to get those documents unredacted. that is not fair. the american people need to know what he knew and apparently those documents, you know, everything that's important is blocked out. and the fact that this man, the scientists in san diego who said this doesn't look like it was natural made, the sequence or whatever of the covid and then all of a sudden three days later he completely changes his mind and becomes an advocate against that theory? it's really weird. we have got to get to the bottom of it. will: i use that phrase
4:07 am
potentially compromised very deliberately. you point out he at the very least had a conflict of interest in describing or finding the origins of the coronavirus. at worst was parroting the explanations of the communist chinese party. so the why? why were you so wrong for a year? that's the question that truly needs to be answered beyond finding out how it originated. coming up a little bit later senator joni ernst a republican from iowa will be coming up at 8:30 eastern time we will be talking about this with johnny. pete: catholics are throwing down. rachel: they are. the catholic bishops have approved a communion document aimed at a possible rebuke of biden while the president has brushed off concerns about a possible ban. the u.s. catholic bishop association which, you know, i'm surprised they are really starting to take this very seriously. this is something very concerned about that the biden administration is the most unabashedly radical pro-abortion administration and, yet, the
4:08 am
president, the head of this administration, is flouting, you know, his being a catholic. and it's really causing a lot of confusion. and it's gotten to the point where the bishops actually have to stand up and clarify this because, really, the whole faith is at stake here. pete: correct me if i am wrong, all the catholic bishops got together and created a teaching document and ultimately the vote on that preliminary document 7% in favor of saying if you are a public official, openly pro-abortion. rachel: yes. pete: you should not be receiving communion. rachel: this has always been the case except now democrats are flouting this and sort of in your face and there was a really interesting tweet by ted lieu by the way who basically said i disagree with all these teachings in the catholic church. i dare you to not give me communion. this is the kind of stuff that the church can't have. and that's why when joe biden was coming back, you know, from his g-7 summit it's reported that he wanted to do a stop over
4:09 am
in rome and go to mass. that would bolster his catholic credit. cred. don't make a stop over. he didn't want to interfere with the debate going on with the bishops right now on this. here is a quote from growth archbishop newman of kansas city. not the bishops that have brought us to this point, it's some of our public officials. this is the catholic president doing the most aggressive things we have ever seen on life at its most innocent. quick mention, the democrats have throughout the last pro-life member of their caucus, he was from illinois. i think last last name was penske. there right now is no one on the democrat side who admits to being pro-life. will: democrats very will to take on the democratic church you mentioned ted lieu of california. here it is. if you want to take a look at what ted lu had to say. i believe we can put it up on
4:10 am
the screen. dear catholic church or catholic i'm catholic and i support contra deposition, a some's right to choose, treatment for infertility, the right for people to get a divorce. the right of same sex marriage. next time i go to church i dare you to deny me communion. that's, again, conessman ted lu. there is this thought out there that you can sort of pick and choose, i think which parts of religion, which parts of doctrine you like and. rachel: called supermarket catholics. will: go through and pick what you like. rachel: he should join the church of biden instead of the catholic church. pete: won't have a lot of members of that church. rachel: the whole democratic party. aoc and nancy pelosi. peter. pete: here is what nancy pelosi said about that ban. >> catholic bishops moving on this resolution prevent you and others who supported abortion from receiving communion.
4:11 am
are you concerned about the rift in the catholic church and how do you feel personally about that? >> that's a private matter and i don't think that's going to happen. thank you. pete: ultimately individual bishops can still make a decision whether or not to offer the sacramento. rachel: a politician involved complicit in one of the greatest sins in the catholic church abortion to not present themselves for communion. height of arrogance and lack of humility. the church forgives people that are involved in this. you actually have to be repentant and clearly joe biden is not repentant. is he moving forward and very, very explicit about his position on abortion. it's wrong. will: fox news contributor jonathan morris is going to join us later and he will talk about this topic. pete: it will be interesting to hear from him on this. rachel: it. will turning your headlines, are

they will raise the interest rate. when interest rates go up, people or investors, rather, will be tempted to pull out of the stock market and go into something, let's say a safer investment like bonds. so, that's why we're seeing the market react this way because the federal reserve is talking about raising interest rates sooner than expected. rachel: in fact, they said they are talking about two rate hikes just in 2023. do you think that will happen? >> >> i think it's going to happen before that. we are in a period right now where i believe a lot of what is happening related to inflation is policy-driven. so these policies coming out of the biden administration right now like spending trillions of dollars and encouraging people to stay home and collecting
4:28 am
unemployment benefits, those things are fueling inflation. if those policy does not change, i believe inflation will continue to rise and it will force interest rates to go up and, therefore, the stock market, again, will retract. rachel: well, i'm not a financial expert but i don't see any chance that these policies are going to change in which case inflation will continue to go up. so what would you say to the average family, people, you know, sitting around their kitchen tables right now going how can i protect myself in very practical easy ways against this inflation? >> as far as investing goes, i will tell you what not to do and pete may not like this. but don't go out and put your money in bitcoin. rachel: i will tell my husband that. that's the only thing we fight about by the way, dan, is bitcoin. you say don't do that interesting. >> i would say don't do that because it is simply too
4:29 am
volatile of an investment for the average person as well as some of these stocks like game stop. make sure you have a diversified investment portfolio. if interest rates do go up, then you may want to look at moving from stock investments, perhaps, to more bonds up vestments. but, again, it's all about diversity because you want to hedge against whatever risk there are in the market. rachel: i want to talk to you really quick about the death tax. because the death tax was put in place in the united states to sort of prevent very wealthy dynasties from continuing on and creating dynasties by passing on massive amounts of wealth. what the biden administration is proposing would really -- would affect people who are passing on even a million dollars of property or business or wealth on to their children. a lot of middle class, middle income families are unhappy with this and say it will cripple
4:30 am
their children. that they will actually have to sell the business or whatever to pay uncle sam for what their parents had worked for. what say you? >> i say there is a reason to be concerned. primarily because joe biden is talking about substantially increasing the capital gains rate. and, on top of that as it pertains to the death tax. instead of realizing a capital gain, when you sell an investment, the capital gain would be triggered upon death. and that is the risk. so, capital gains over $1 million would be subject to, as proposed, a much higher tax. and if you inherited an asset like a business, or a home, that you have these gains trapped inside them, well, you may be in
4:31 am
a situation where you simply don't have enough cash to pay the tax and, therefore, you end up being forced to sell the asset you inherited. rachel: it's really outrageous and some parents are working hard to pass on their wealth to their kids. that's something we do. and so anyway, we are going to have -- thanks for joining us, dan. we will have governor kristi noem on later in the show. she is someone one of the reasons she got into politics was to fight the death tax which hurt her family after a family tragedy. we are looking forward to that still ahead, texas is taking matters into their own hands to secure our southern border. lone star congressman lance gooden on how his state is stepping up where the biden administration isn't. ♪

4:36 am
and law and order in the state of texas. pete: an impassioned governor greg abbott taking the crisis at the border into his own hands to make millions to build the border wall and protect his state. will: this comes as the governor also announces is he emptying out a state prison to house illegal immigrants with low level offenses. rachel: joining us with more texas congressman lance gooden. >> good morning. rachel: welcome, congressman. >> thank you. rachel: texas is stepping up. texas is saying we are not going to take this. if the government is not going to do it we are going to do it ourselves. can texas do it? >> texas can do it. we did this in the years of the obama administration. not build a wall but enforce immigration law. we had a really great four years of president donald trump actually doing what the president should be doing and that is protecting and defending our nation, including at the border. and it's amazing what can happen in six months. sincian, the border has basically been open. our own vice president, who is
4:37 am
in charge of this crisis according to the president, hasn't even been to the border. we have a severe crisis on the texas border. and all the way to california and our governor is stepping up and saying we need to do something. we need to build a wall. and not only are people supportive of that in texas, but there is enough land from volunteers to even build most of this law between state land and landowners giving up their land to this border wall earth. there is an outpouring of support along our southern border and i think it's great and i'm proud of our governor for doing it. pete: love to see it they are not letting people out of the state prison. they are moving it elsewhere so they can allocate this prison for illegals who have already broken the law by coming here illegally but also have committed other crimes. what's that change? >> it's a change in the sense that we even have to do this. we have been overrun by crossings of people that we
4:38 am
canned contain. we have children. i have asked this administration what they are doing with children. how are we making sure that these children not being trafficked? are they really coming over with their parents? or are they being trafficked by cartel members? i have introduced a bill to require d.n.a. testing at the border to determine whether or not trafficker or the parent, whoever they say they are is that really them? but with respect to this prison, this is just one of many things i think you will see in the months to come if we don't get this under control and it doesn't seem to be trending that way, which is why our governor and state legislature have said here in texas that we have got to do something ourselves. will: congressman, i want to ask you about big tech. big tech seems to be a topic that at least some out there think might be a place where republicans and democrats can work together. this is because president joe biden has picked as head of the ftc lena cohen, she has now been approved by the senate. big tech. that brings up the question can republicans and democrats work on this together? i'm a bit skeptical because it
4:39 am
seems like we are coming at it different angles, republicans worried about censorship and democrats under the guise of disinformation looking for more censorship. is there commonality anywhere? >> i think there is commonality. rarely would you see people getting excited about -- people on the conservative side getting excited about a liberal ftc chairwoman but lindsey graham and joshua holly are some of the many senators that crossed over and voted for her confirmation. i'm excited to see what she has going with tropic breaking up monopolies and make sure they don't grow. these bills are bipartisan. the head of the progressive conferences in jayapal and i are working on a bill together. i never thought i would work on a bill with her but we are. the goal is to prevent these growing monopolies from getting larger yes, there are different motivations on the democrat side and my side, but i think the end result is we have large companies that control less of our lives then we will get to
4:40 am
the point where censorship is not happening in the way that it is. no one would care if facebook monitored president donald trump if president donald trump had another avenue to go down with respect to social media. but because facebook is so big. it's really important that they have banned him. i envision a dream scenario where there is actual competition. if facebook bans me i don't care because i can go somewhere else. that's what these bills seek to do. they seek to increase free market and lessen the reliance on one or two companies that are so big that they dominate our lives. pete: will be great to see we will see if anything like that is truly possible on capitol hill. representative lance gooden, thank you so much for your time. rachel: thank you, congressman. pete: turning now to a few additional headlines, flags over georgia's capitol flying half-staff to honor an officer killed in the line of duty. hundreds gathered last night in vigil in atlanta suburb to remember joe burson. holly springs police say officer

effectively agents being asked to be the last line for the cartels as far as kids being pushed across the country. and 56 house republicans are fed up with it a letter calling out kamala harris who is supposed to be in charge of the border of migration of root causes. whatever her title is, border czar. they are saying it's about time that be done with here is what 56 house republicans said putting out a letter yesterday. they said despite being in the midst of a border crisis. this country has not seen in two decades vice president harris has not yet shown adequate interest in observing this crisis firsthand. in the 85 days since the vice president has been tasked with solving this crisis, she has yet to border meet with agents and customs enforcement and ice and law enforcement officials. guys, frankly, sometimes that's half the battle. i know as someone who has served overseas all you want is members of congress to come there and see it don't deal with it as it is characterize in the "new york times" or elsewhere.
5:03 am
come see what's really happening on the ground. that letter certainly speaks to that. rachel: it does. i get frustrated seeing these letters because, in my opinion, it's going really well for kamala harris and the biden administration. this is exactly what they wanted to happen. they don't care. we had this congressman on a little while ago about introducing a bill to make sure that our government is keeping track of the children because we know they fall into the hands of sex traffickers but democrats don't care about that. they don't care at all. they know exactly what is happening. kamala hasn't visited the border because she likes what's happening at the border. will: you mentioned congressman ralph norman who was on the show earlier. this is what he had to say about the biden administration and their approach to the border. >> if all she can do is laugh, which is what she has done about going to the border, then she should be removed. i don't know who they would have in her place this administration continues to baffle me on the people in charge. including mayorkas and particularly the vice president.

what they have done is really quickly get them out and spread them across the country and look at what states, will, they are sending them to. >> we have interesting. states that are kind of teetering on between red and blue, tennessee, north carolina. these are all places where the democrats will benefit in the long run if we have, you know, more future democrats in those states. pete: real quick, i have been in touch -- information has been sent to me. i won't talk about where at this point. air traffic controllers who are logging flights in the middle of the night. calling into the pilot and they are all full of migrants and kids. and they don't know where they are going after that. night after night after night. we might actually get some more information on that in the coming days but it's happening right now. will: i made a comment a little earlier in the show that conspiracy theorists have a better track record and this journalists over the last year. last week i believe it was off camera, pete, we had a conversation, it was about, i believe. the origins of covid. you said something that i believe as well. i don't often buy in to quote, unquote, conspiracies because
5:06 am
they require too much competence on behalf of the accused of the conspiracies entirely rely upon the idea that everyone involved is capable of executing what you assume they are involved. therefore, you should be a little skeptical. i don't think it's a conspiracy. look at what is going on between the line of action and inaction. it's easy to dom a rational conclusion. you are not doing anything about this. that's quite clear. why? and the why is because you don't consider the outcome a problem. you consider the outcome a benefit. that's not in the realm of conspiracy. that's in the realm of logical conclusion. rachel: can i ask you something really quick and we have to move on. we are in texas. people in texas are not happy with this. the democrats politically need texas, want texas, have been coveting texas. could this hurt the democrats in their efforts to turn texas blue? will: i think it definitely could. you saw those voting districts not just in texas but along the southern border of the united states. for what it's worth, primarily latino districts on the southern
5:07 am
border of the united states flipped from voting against president trump in 2016 to voting for president trump in 2020. and why on the issue of immigration? so i do think it could backfire on democrats' efforts to win over states. rachel: the first ones to raise the flags as soon as biden came no office and open borders. will. pete: speaking of implications speak of 2022 it inflation could be on the ballot as we see rising prices across the country. you look at some of those numbers and they are staggering and ultimately lo voters view who is to blame for the fact that everything you are going to buy is costing each more. it appears that wall street is paying attention as well. here is some of the, just basic items that are seeing substantial inflation, used cars, furniture, look at gasoline up 50%. washers and dires, airfare, clothing. we could go on and on down the list of everyday items, which is a hidden tax, which is regressive, for the people with
5:08 am
the least means are hit the hardest where they go paying more because their paycheck is the same. and ultimately if you are printing this kind of money, if you are spending all this money, basic economics tells you that eventually you are flooding the zone. rachel: representative jim banks had a memo to his staffer on the i will. giving the fiscal outlook for the federal government and three more years of president biden proposing trillions and trillions of dollars of deficit finance spending, it is more important than ever for conservatives to reclaim the debt limit as a tool to highlight and force action on our nation's spending problems. what do you say to that will? republicans don't have a lot of credibility when it comes to spending either. will: no they do not. i like the term that pete used flood the zone. you bought a home. in the shopping market of any particular product, even going to the grocery store. have you experienced this inflation. two fold cause in my estimation. it is flooding the zone with new money. not just in terms of spending

5:18 am
employment opportunities. let's bring in new york city councilman joe borrelli. thanks for being here. new york city has a homeless problem. they are going to try this with young people, giving them 1200 bucks a month to see if it improves their conditions for two years. what's your take? >> being, are it's great that we are trying new ways to tackle homelessness as you pointed out the problem is something very visible on our street and very clearly not working what we have been trying to do. but i suspect that this is ironically sounds expensive but ironically this amount of money is not actually enough to change a young person's life. $1,200 is not enough to pay a fraction of the rent and cost of living here in new york city. unfortunately, it is enough to pay for, perhaps, some of the things that cause the person's homelessness to begin with. of if somebody is suffering from addiction, giving them $1,200 with no strings attachside probably not the best way to go to improve their long term chances. pete: you make that point. it's called trust youth
5:19 am
initiative. here is the monthly stippen amount verse thes the average cost of rent in new york city which you said is quite high. 1250 bucks is what they will get paid a month but they would likely need at least double that for average rent in new york city. so does this have the potential of just being extra walking around money for people who maybe have fallen into tough circumstances because of choices they have made? >> it certainly is. if you look at some of the causes of homelessness, few people are on the street by choice. a lot of people are suffering from addiction problems. a lot of people are suffering from mental health issues. giving them money is not going to resolve the underlying cause. we have a model in new york city. it's being used around the country as well. it's called supportive housing. yes, it's a bit more expensive than other models but you are actually trying to treat the person's underlying cause by putting them in a residence hall with counselors and mental health specialists who can treat, again, the reason why

that sound. i officially asked her about crt an educator. she is under the impression that it really isn't an issue. she believes this should be taught and it has been manipulated to be seen like it's divisive. that was her perspective. we will get that audio for you guys. but the larger question is this, guys: where do we go from here? will and i have had private conversations both on air. it is here. it was being taught before this became an issue. the question is what do parents do? and parents have to make up that deficit because what's going to happen is and i talked to some parents yet and they made it very clear, there is a division now between the kids and the parents because the kids are saying why didn't i know about these stories because the left has s. now manipulating these stories. have you got to get to your kids first. rachel: i have been saying that for a long time. that's been my mantra, if you are not talking about your kids
5:28 am
about all of these things, somebody else is and you have to get to them first and talk to them. there is definitely an agenda of people who want us to hate our country, hate each other and they want this division. they benefit politically from this division. lawrence: it's 100 percent right, rachel. we have got to tell the story. sometimes the stories are uncomfortable. that is the beauty of america. you know, for me, it is sad that we are just now learning certain parts of history. and i know sometimes we don't want to touch it. but that's the beauty of america. juneteenth just begin a big thing. i have been celebrating juneteenth my entire life and a lot of blacks. it's not just a regional holiday even though it's based in texas. black folks celebrate juneteenth all across the country. and the reason why it's not emancipation day because in 1862, although he may have signed that emancipation proclamation three years later that we got the full rights as a union soldiers, republicans by the way made their way back to
5:29 am
texas to let them know they were free. and the message is why black folks say this it's not emancipation day is even though some of us was freed. until all of us are free, we're not free. so, it's a beautiful story. it's something that is rich, that we need to talk. but when you have the left just telling the story, then, of course, they put all their spin on it and it becomes a problematic issue and the kids are confused. and what do the kids choose? they should the pressure and they choose their friends. and so it's important for the parents to get ahead of it have the uncomfortable conversation so you can steer the conversation. pete: great, lawrence. there is no reason to shy away from the uncomfortable conversations. it's when there is an agenda behind it per se that makes it problematic. we have that sound of the mayor. we will bring it to you later on. i'm very interested to hear how -- cr. >> it is holistic teaching theory you don't just teach a little bit over here.

you almost set people up for failure. it's like you are boxed in. of that you can't even go against the grain a little bit or you are anti-inclusion. so, this is a no-win situation. you have got to get in front of it and take back the narrative or this is the soundbites that are going to be played. rachel: lawrence, i love what you said earlier until everyone is free we are not free. the point is and this is not what cr. >> it is teaching is that we all are free. that's the message we should be saying right now. lawrence: that's right. rachel: they are trying to say we are not yet free. lawrence: that's correct. for the record because a lot of people don't know this and black america we celebrate juneteenth and the 4th of july. okay? so, this whole notion of trying to separate things. that has never been the case. we love our country but we also remember our rich history and that's what frederick douglass with was about as well. acknowledging the past so we could move forward.

sure we do not repeat history by following the science and the money. our next guest is calling out the nih with this month's squeal award for continuing to fund nonprofit ecohealth alliance organization which funneled millions of dollars into the wuhan institute of virology. here is iowa senator joni ernst and gooden. good morning to both of you. senator, we follow the science, we follow the mope and so, therefore, we follow the trail back to the wuhan lab from ecohealth alliance. as this money was going from nih to ecohealth to wuhan, what exactly took place? what federal laws were skirted? why is this such a big deal beyond us knowing where the coronavirus originated? >> yes. well, thank you, will. and thanks to justin goodman and white coat project. a lot of this has been uncovered. what we discovered is that through the nih a grant was
5:37 am
given to ecohealth alliance through that grant we know that a number of dangerous coronavirus studies were being done at the wuhan institute of virology with american taxpayer dollars. now, according to federal law, there are questions that have to be answered. ecohealth alliance is required to report how those dollars are being spent. the nih has asked ecohealth alliance to provide that information and ecohealth has basically said no. we're not going to tell you what we were doing with american taxpayer dollars. so, in response to that, we have pushed the office of inspector general at health and human services to demand answers and have that information provided. will: justin, dr. fauci, we have talked about this throughout the morning, dr. fauci from the very beginning was at the least skeptical that this could have come from a lab. he gave it like a long shot type of scenario. so now that we look at this potential money trail and
5:38 am
science trail. what does that tell us about dr. fauci and the kind of things he said over the past year? you would think a conflict of interest is revealed at the very least. >> yeah. that's absolutely right. the truth is that anthony fauci and other public officials and scientists really abused their authority by pouring cold water on the lab leak from the very beginning because they had a lot to lose if they were responsible for potentially funding the dangerous coronavirus experiments on animals that caused the pandemic. the other is purely political. the other reason that they have poured cold water on this is purely political. dr. fauci and others didn't want to give credence to anything republicans and donald trump were saying even if they everywhere right. will: you know, i think what you are both pointing to when it comes to federal law and conflict of interest is accountability issue here for everybody when it comes to the government and the true story here. let me ask you this question. before we as a society move a countability. what who we have done differently? i will ask you both this judge gorsuch, start with you, if we
5:39 am
had had honesty and real sober behindedness when it came to the origins of the coronavirus back in the spring, what, if anything, might we have done differently as a country? >> well,well, would he should have been investigating the lab leak from the beginning. the truth is we have known for years. we should have known for years and if senator ernst's laws were in place a couple years ago we could have known that taxpayer dollars were being quietly funneled to the wuhan institute of virology. for years it's been violating federal law, failing to disclose it was sending money to the wuhan institute of virology. defying questions from congress and ultimately allowing that money to be secretly funded to a lab that does not have our best interest in mind and potentially caused this pandemic that's killed over 3 million people worldwide and 600,000 in the united states alone. will: we can make changes for the future and ask for accountability in the past. if information had been true and honest, is there something we could have done differently that
5:40 am
would have made the pandemic play out differently over the past year? >> well, absolutely. i think if my acts had been in place, we could have cut off federal funding to ecohealth alliance and those projects that were underway. my act would do directory that. it would prevent any government funding from going to a group like ecohealth alliance if they refused to answer questions about how those dollars are being spent. so, if we could have cut the funding off much sooner, perhaps, we don't know, because we haven't been able to get the documentation through ecohealth alliance, but perhaps we could have stopped some of our taxpayer dollars from contributing to what obviously could have been a very, very bad experimentation that led to this global pandemic. so, a lot of answers are very unclear. we need transparency and that's
5:41 am
what my act does. will: obviously whether or not you are talking about the w.h.o., cdc or dr. anthony fauci we might have been faith in every other instruction they gave us over the past year. senator joni ernst and justin goodman, thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you. >> thank you. will: turn now to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth who has our fox weather forecast. good morning, rick. rick: good morning, guys. a lot going on. our third tropical system of the year claudette making landfall over southern louisiana. the storm pulling further off towards the north the lake pontchartrain area. most of the moisture is well away from the center of the storm off towards the north and east of that. that's going to continue to be the trend as the storm continues to pull off towards in the northeast direction kind of around areas of the southeast towards the mid-atlantic over the next couple of days. we will see pretty heavy rain. some spots maybe 6 to 7 inches of additional rain falling because of that we will watch for localized flooding. the other story we have been

5:48 am
church. and then on monday morning and throughout the week he goes to his office and writes executive orders and goes to the halls of congress and says i am going to fight against the most fundamental teaching of the church which is respect for life at all stages. now, i applaud president biden for taking his faith seriously in turns of going to church on sunday. and maybe there is many of us who are even less worthy than him to walk up and to receive communion. but what essaying is i'm a public figure and i am going to publicly say on one hand i believe and on the other hand, too something totally different. that's the problem. rachel: you saw the tweet by ted lieu, a member of congress who says i don't care what the church says. i don't believe in this, this, this, this. of you say this is mocking the church. >> yeah. well, you know, one of the bishops said we shouldn't be drafting this document about
5:49 am
worthiness to receive communion because what we should be doing instead is just saying hey, everyone, welcome home. come on back. and i think that would be a beautiful document to say welcome home. but we have to know what we are welcoming them to. what does catholic church stand for? what does the bible stand for. basic intellectual honesty question, even more than a communion. what's the best thing to do. the bishop had a responsibility either in this document church to say the catholic church stands for this. when somebody is publicly mocking that, you have to stand up. rachel: i think for non-catholics it's very difficult to understand how sacred the most important sacrament. it's not a diss on president biden he is always welcome to repent but he has chosen not to do. jonathan, thank you for joining us this morning. father's day is tomorrow. skip bedell is out on fox square

6:02 am
news. you're a busy man, dan thanks for joining us this morning. >> always happy to be here with you all thanks for having me. rachel: congratulations on the show it's fantastic. >> oh, thank you. yeah, don't miss tonight. the opening monologue i kind of dumped the whole prompter thingy , i'm like just let me rock and roll in the beginning, and i think you're going to like it in the beginning. rachel: i love it. >> i do. if you think there's a system of justice in this country left, you probably won't after the monologue tonight. it's decaying rapidly and sad to see. will: well, system of justice in this country is supposed to follow the system of law enforcement, dan. first you enforce the law on the streets then you enforce them within the court systems of the united states of america. that seems to be happening less and less. we want to show you this video of those of you watching at home we need to give you a warning the video is disturbing. it is a gunman, reported gang member, on a shooting on the streets of new york city here, with two children involved a 5-year-old and a 10-year-old.
6:03 am
now the children were not harmed but you can see them huddling around the victim of the shooting. they are constantly, dan, at every moment, just a hair's breath away from danger. they are in danger's way and this is just so revealing about, you know, while it is extreme, an increase in violence across this country, dan. what's your reaction? >> yeah, you know, will i saw this yesterday. it was going around on social media and i've seen a lot of ugly stuff in my time with the local police department and the federal law enforcement with the secret service, but i've got to tell you this video, this is really really difficult to watch i mean, you see these kids, not that it's ever any crime is ever easy to watch on tape, but with these kids, and, you know, if you've ever been around gunfire, by the way, if you're a police officer you shoot all the time, you know, you think to yourself gosh, but it's just, again i'm having a hard time articulating how awful this must have been, but think about it.
6:04 am
here is the problem i have with this entire decaying of new york city and liberal cities across america, will. it's that we know what worked. it's not in other words, it's not like this is any deliberate choice. that's what's so disturbing. for as much as i've committed my life to combating liberal ideology, my every waking breath is stopping the forest fire that's liberalism that's consuming countries around the globe. they know what they're doing. when rudy giuliani came in and they implemented broken windows they figured out quickly that if you stop the small crime, in other words turnstyle jumping, which is an example i'd use often that it would stop the bigger crimes because the guy who jumped the turnstyle , was the guy who went on the train and assaulted and robbed someone but guys i can't tell you in strong enough terms how that was a revolutionary idea. i know it doesn't seem like it but when i was a young police officer, the idea was don't arrest anyone for turnstyle jumping it takes a cop off the street and you'll miss the burglary or the robbery later because you
6:05 am
weren't there. they didn't realize it was the same guy. it was the same people. this was a revolutionary idea, and now that they've dumped broken windows and said let's de criminalize, shoplifting, you see that san francisco video, guy walks in with a bag and he's like rode in on a bike. he might as well have taken a mini cooper in there and loaded the trunk up. i mean, they've gone completely away from that. they know what they are doing and people are dying and you're seeing disgusting grotesque scenes like that video you just showed. rachel: yeah. pete: dan we've been showing the numbers as well. i'm so glad you emphasized the human aspect of it because that's ultimately what really matters but take portland for example, one of those cities, homicides up 533%, shootings up 126%, you can see it across the country. the reason i mentioned portland, dan, is that the police riot team there, i'm sure you've heard this but i want to get your take on what it means.
6:06 am
the entire 50-man riot team resigned because one of their own on the 75th day of riots together an action with a baton he's now being charged for fourth degree assault, the force says if you'll treat him that way we're all done. what does it mean when a whole riot team, in a town like portland, says we're standing down? >> you know, they call economic s the dismal science, like what does that have to do with this? well we're all rational maximiz ers right? we're all reasonable people and we weigh options, that's how we maximize our own condition, right? so if you're a police officer on this riot squad and you're like all right, i'm probably maybe doing okay, $70,000 a year, and i really wanted to help the public that's why i'm a police officer, i don't like riots. it's why i want to be on the anti-riot team, and you go out and you're defending portland's public goodbye stopping things that are net negatives obviously like riots and then you find yourself going in jail or being prosecuted, any rational maximizer, pete, is like you know what?
6:07 am
it's probably not worth the risk i'm really sorry but i tried to help the citizens of portland by joining the anti-riot, think about that the name of it, pete. the anti-riot squad. that's what i'm into. i'm into like anti-rioting and all of a sudden you find yourself, right? i was in the anti-riot squad, it's like the americans are really wonderful, meanwhile, you're in the anti-riot squad. they really do that and you find yourself the subject of an investigation. i don't blame them they are like hey, i'm sorry if portland can't get their act together i'm out of here. rachel: dan do you see this happening across the country that other police units will just go we're done and is that the only way people will pay attention to what's happening to law enforcement the things that we're putting them under with these kinds of situations? >> rachel, i know it's happening, because my police officer friends who i went through the police academy with who a lot are retiring right now , they are telling me, i had
6:08 am
one friend of mine say listen, i'm sorry man. we can't take the risk if we get a 911 call we'll show up but listen i'm just telling you what they told me. i'm not saying it's right or wrong, i'm just telling you what they said. they said there's some police officer, people wave them down, and if they don't see a crime going on he's like we just wave back and keep going. he's like i'm sorry we just can't afford the risk anymore. we become the subject of an investigation. again, not right, but it is what it is. will: dan i want to move to another topic, but i want to ask you something i was taking too many notes while you were talking because there's a lot going on you're talking about broken windows theory and what you're talking about is changing the culture of crime. when you punish small crime, you send a message that crime will not be tolerated. what we're talking about is the rule of law, and what we see taking place across the united states right now, from immigration to crime on the streets is an undercutting of the rule of law, so we're developing a culture of crime. the idea that we're like italians, you know how the
6:09 am
italians don't pay taxes because it's not really enforced , in greece too, people don't pay taxes. why? nobody cares. we're becoming that way, when it comes to crime and you said something interesting. you said the democratic politicians at the local level doing this know what they're doing so why? what are they doing and undercut ting the rule of law, dan? why? >> well, you know, will, these are uncomfortable conversations, and although i can't get into every democrat or liberals head , they're not dumb. i mean, they are saying to themselves there's only two options, right? number one is that they live on the event horizon of a black hole of stupid and they have iq 's in the double-digits and they didn't pay attention to the guliani era? i'm sorry i don't believe that. it sounds good. it's not true. will: right. >> option b is they absolutely know it, and they don't give a damn. really, if anyone in the listen ing audience is uncomfortable with what i'm saying give me option c. that they are really dumb, they
6:10 am
didn't pay attention to what broken windows did, how it clean ed up new york city under bloomberg and guliani, explain, did you miss that? you didn't read a history book, you weren't old enough? people are dumb, believe me that's the best answer. gosh, democrats are really stupid, you should celebrate but they're not. they know what they're doing and they just don't care as the body bags pileup. they don't care. i'm telling you they don't care. there's no option c, i'm sorry. rachel: well dan, bill maher says that they're stupid, because [laughter] , there's another topic we want to talk to you about which is cancel culture, so, the hamilton musical, he has a movie coming out called "in the heights" and apparently, the woke leftist mob , the cancel culture mob all said they were on twitter we're trying to figure out who are these people doing this , but enough of people have criticized him and said that the hispanics
6:11 am
in your movie are not the right color of hispanics, and now, he's come out and he's actually apologized for not including enough afro puerto ricos in his film. this is what he has to say about that. please, stop the apologizing. you're the guy who made the founding fathers black and hispanic. >> [laughter] >> i don't think you have to apologize to twitter. >> [applause] >> this is why people hate democrats. it's cringy. but at some point, people are going to have to stand up to these bullies because that's what it is. he's a latino making a latino movie with a latino cast, not good enough. nothing is ever good enough for these people. they are like children. we don't raise our children right and it's reflected in the media. rachel: dan, this is the next wave of the whole identity
6:12 am
politics thing. i've heard that lynn manuel, me, probably your wife, apparently, it's not enough to be hispanic if you're lighter-skinned and your white adjacent they're calling it or i mean, it's just kind of crazy. >> yeah. >> what was the other word they used? white passing? >> yeah, i disagree that this again is just dopiness and it's deliberate. i said on my podcast and radio show repeatedly that the thing about cancel culture is it requires victims all the time. the problem the radical left is having they are running out of conservative victims who collectively give them the double barreled family friendly middle finger and say we don't really care about you idiots. we're just going to ignore your stupid cancel culture request so figure 40% of america said go pound sand, we're not really interested, so what do liberals do?
6:13 am
i said repeatedly, this cancel culture is going to be cannibal it's ic. it has to be. where are you going to get the victim and this is not done out of stupidity. this is done because there's power in it. there's cultural capital in it. there is a cultural political bank account not filled with money but cancellations and scouts and the only way to do it is to find victims and when you can't find them with pete or will or rachel we don't care. do you think we're going to listen to these idiots? we laugh at them. i go on social media and openly mock them with the laughing guy emogi. we don't care. so where do they have to go? the only place the victims are left is the apology culture on the left. folks this will burn itself out because it has to. it's a cannibalistic, by nature, movement this virtue signaling movement and the only way to do it is to get scouts and the only scalps left are on left, they aren't on the right. we just don't care. we ignore these idiots and thank god, i don't agree with bill maher, he's no friend to conservatives let's be clear, but bill maher is one of the
6:14 am
rare truth-tellers out there whose like hey, guys i'm warning you. you guys are going to eat yourselves alive but this is being done deliberately because remember there's political capital in collecting like canceled him and there and i think the christy tiegen thing maybe a turning point. we'll see. i'm not sure. pete: hope you're right. well dan you're not done today, unplugged with dan bongino. watch for the opening monologue. >> unfiltered what do you think this is mtv. you got rachel next to you, what do you think in canceling something? coming out of retirement? will: no, he means your promise to go away from the prompter right? pete: totally unplugged that's what i mean. will: that's what he meant. >> maybe we should change the name. pete: unscripted whatever you want to call it, dan bongino will be there and we'll be watching. will: dan thank you so much. >> see you guys take care. pete: florida governor ron desantis is pardoning residents

pete: florida governor ron desantis calling arrests for mask mandate violations and over reach by local governments as he's now pardoning floridians punished for covid-19 violations here now to react is florida lt. governor, jeanette nunez. thank you so much for being here so pardons to folks who were cracked down upon for covid violations. >> well, good morning, pete. it's an honor to be here with you this morning, and really, what we've seen is governor desantis systematically chissel ling away at local government overreach, and really , what i believe were draconian measures passed upon floridians so the governor wasn't content to let these civil and criminal penalties
6:19 am
continue, so he issued a full and categorical pardon. you have people that could potentially be serving jail time for violating a mask mandate. that's something that we weren't allowed, we weren't going to allow to happen. pete: personally in other state, gym owners, salon owners, who will still suffering under the weight of penalties and fees , so you're saying with this move, if there were health inspections or someone wearing a mask where they shouldn't have , that ordeal for them is over? >> indeed, and what i would tell those people from other states suffering under the weight of these local government mandates and state mandates come on down to florida we're open, we're free, and we're booming. pete: what was the key, you know it was an executive order in september of 2020 that the governor there signed opening all florida businesses regardless of local restrictions what gave him and you guys the ability to foresee how important that be for people? >> oh, governor desantis, throughout the pandemic,
6:20 am
understood that we needed to balance the health and well being of floridians, but also make decisions that were going to empower floridians and make decisions on their own, allow businesses to operate, allow people to go to work. we weren't in the business of deeming whose job was essential or whose business was essential , and whose wasn't. so governor desantis, contrary to the critics and the pundits and the liberal elites and the corporate media, he made decisions based on actual science, which is why you saw him eliminating certain restrictions, which is why you saw him opening up schools so that parents could send their kids to get a quality education, so at the end of the day, when people want to criticize i think the outcomes are clear, the evidence is out, and governor desantis has been a leader in managing the pandemic and making sure that floridians were put first. pete: yeah, the courage of leaders is exposed in most critical moments especially when the chorus is saying something else and they decide to go against it, and on the side of average people and common sense, and governor desantis has certainly done that. thank you so much, jeanette
6:21 am
nunez, we appreciate your time. more "fox & friends" still ahead limu emu... and doug. so then i said to him, you oughta customize your car insurance with liberty mutual, so you only pay for what you need. oh um, doug can we talk about something other than work, it's the weekend. yeah, yeah.

rachel: debates raging across the country over woke critical race theory in schools, as parents fear the rewriting of u.s. history. but prager u is stepping in with a series of books that aim to celebrate america along with our values and traditions. here now is the fab mom and prag er u's director of outreach for resources, for educators and parents jill s avonia. welcome to the show. >> hi rachel i'm so glad to see you this morning. rachel: again it was an honor for me to have prager u choose my book, as part of this
6:25 am
curriculum, but talk to us right now, i mean, parents are fighting back. tell us why it's so important for parents to fight back against this critical race theory and what kind of damage critical race theory is doing to the fabric and the unity of this country? >> well, i mean, it's imperative, and i don't want to be an alarmist, but we are, in fact, i've been saying in emergency mode. we have seen countless viral videos of parents standing up at school board meetings, regular people, standing up saying critical race theory is divisive what critical race theory does in our schools now, our districts and private institutions are jumping on this bandwagon to institute these divisive policies that quite frankly, in many schools, i know middle schoolers who have been separated by race and heritage in a classroom for the purpose of diversity discussions, so critical race theory is divisive, it pits kids against each other, with, you know, from categorizing them as
6:26 am
oppressed versus oppressor , so we need to pushback against this because we're all americans and what we're trying to do at prager u kids is empower parents to really step up and say wait a second. we're not going to stand for this. we are united. rachel: so what is prager u offering? tell us about it and how people can fight back against this mar xist ideas that are in critical race theory, by buying these book, by being part of the curriculums. >> well here is the thing. prager u kids this is something that has been long time coming for years, our followers are saying please start producing children's shows so what we've done is we started developing and you can go to our website, prager u.com/kids and see our free videos for kids kindergarten through 12th grade celebrating american values, educating our kids about united states history, you know, really putting a central value on hard

>> texas will build a border wall in our state to help secure our border. homes are being invaded. neighborhoods are dangerous and people are being threatened on a daily basis. i told you that texas would step
6:32 am
up and respond. today, we begin that response. pete: the border crisis reaching a boiling point as texas governor abbott vows to protect his state and build a wall. now, other states are stepping up to help, by sending their own law enforcement officers to the border. will: south dakota governor kristi noem joins us now to react. good morning, governor glad to have you with us. >> good morning it's great to be with you. will: so we have seen several states begin to answer the call of governor greg abbott of texas asking for help from other states to deal with this what should be a federal issue. in lieu of federal help other states are stepping out i believe we've seen florida has made a commitment to help out in texas. tell us what's happening in south dakota will you also be able to offer help with the border crisis? >> well securing that border is a national security issue, and we in south dakota are evaluat ing that. we would love to help and we're working through that process to see if that's something that we could make possible. rachel: governor i want to move
6:33 am
to another topic that i think is very personal to you, a lot of middle income families right now are unhappy with the proposal that the biden administration has for a death tax saying it would cripple their kids with bills and i know that's a story that hits home for you. i'd like to see if you could just talk to us a little bit about what happened in your family and why that issue is so important and actually, a little bit of the reason why you wanted to get into politics. >> people ask me that all the time, rachel, why i got involved in government and politics, because up until just about 10-12 year ago i was a farmer and a rancher, but it was because of the experience that i went through and i was in college, it was back in 1994, my dad was killed in an accident on our farm and ranch. he was only 49 years old at the time, and our family got hit hard by death taxes. it was devastating for us. i had lost my dad, it was a time of tragedy, he was my best friend and then suddenly, we found out from the irs that we owed hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars
6:34 am
that we didn't have. we had land, machinery and cattle, but we didn't have any money in the bank and so it made me angry. i started showing up at meetings , talking about policy, got passionate about tax reform, i it took us 10 years to pay off those taxes and we had to figure out a way to make more money off the assets that we had but it was hard and so i think that story is powerful because the death tax is the only place in our tax code where we double tax someone, and people who are wealthy, who have a lot of money , figure out ways to hire enough attorneys to get around it most of the time. it's those who get surprised by a tragedy or don't have money to do the kind of estate planning that wealthy people do that end up getting hit the hardest, so i was thankful when president trump took on tax reform. we made it better. i always had the bill to completely repeal the tax, because it is so unfair, but what president biden has proposed will be devastating. it'll be devastating to families and small business owners,
6:35 am
especially those that are trying to make ends meet today. if we had owned a gas station, we would have been forced to sell our family business in order to pay those taxes, or if we had a small restaurant or a motel we would have had to sell in order to pay. luckily we had land we could take a mortgage out on and get debt on in order to go secure financing and had some people help us, and go out on a limb for a bunch of kids and a mom who was devastated but if that hadn't happened here in south dakota we would have jeopardized our family business too. pete: this is something that could increase death taxes is a possibility for what joe biden wants to propose. what is the philosophy of the left that believes that ultimately we should be taxing the wealth that parents accumulate because they want to pass it to the next generation. >> well they aren't telling the truth. folks work hard every single day and they pay their taxes. these folks that have any kind of an asset under their name, they may own something that they've worked for their entire
6:36 am
life, and that they want to give their kids a start with, but you're taxing it again. it's a double tax, at the time of death, that really cripples their ability to pass on and keep that business going, so this is what liberals want to do is take anything that they have and pull it into government, and use it and grow government, take more control over people's lives , they are using fear to do it. they are using manipulation to push that agenda, and it ends up and resulting in a country that has socialist policies and that is where this is going, and it starts with taxes and it starts with control, and the death tax and estate tax is exactly a good example of how that begins. will: i know the answer to that, pete. the answer to why or how the left rationalizes the death tax is they think they are simply taxing the wealthy. rachel: that's exactly right. will: unearned income and governor you're pointing out the very particular problem of your situation people that are land rich and cash poor and that hits hard and there's also the philosophical issue which
6:37 am
you're right is it's a double taxation but how do you answer their argument to pete's question. they will say it's simply taxing the wealthy. pete: redistribution. will: it's unearned income any way. you didn't do anything to earn that so how do you respond to someone making that argument to you? >> i tell my story and the story of my neighbors, the families around me that are small business owners, have a little dress shop on main street , have a little bit of equity in it. have a building that they worked their whole life to pay for and want to hang on to and then they have a death, a tragedy and they won't have the ability to keep it because of the taxes they owe the federal government, so, we as republicans as conservatives often use statistics and data and policies, but it's the stories that are powerful and they're real and everywhere across this country of where an unfair burden from the government came in, took away belongings that someone has worked hard for and earned, and took it from them and is very difficult time and used it to promote their agenda and promote
6:38 am
a bigger government that has more control over their lives. rachel: governor your story is so powerful. if people haven't heard it google it and read about it because it reads like a hallmark movie what you did to help your family and the sacrifices you made and had to make in order to keep the land in your family's name and not give it over to the government who did nothing to earn that money, so read your story. it's fascinating. thanks a lot for joining us and there's no one better to talk about the death tax than you, governor. >> oh, well i tell you what. it's something that was very difficult for our entire family. we had an incredible state, community that helped us and we wouldn't be here on our land today if it wasn't for them. will: thank you governor. pete: thank you so much. >> thank you. rachel: now, turning now to your headlines. a woman dies after falling off a 200-foot cliff in wyoming. police say she fell while on a sunrise hike with her husband on steamboat point. her husband rushed to find cell

6:46 am
student jeremy hunt. what's your reaction as you hear the news joe biden has official ly made juneteenth a national holiday. >> yeah, this is one of those few times where i actually agree, this is a great opportunity to celebrate what is a really special day. i mean, this is a day in our country's history where the last slave was set free. we talk a lot about our nation's pasts and slavery and what's also important that we talk about the end of the story we're good triumphed over evil and by the way it was in just enough that we ended slavery here in the united states but we also, even sent american warships to patrol the coast of africa and other places around the globe to end slavery abroad as well. that's what it means to be an american, and so of course, we have a long way to go, but this is a really special moment for us to come together, as we have and many americans for generations have been celebrating juneteenth to coming together as one nation and celebrate what is a very very special day in our nation's history. will: jeremy i want to ask you why juneteenth though? i think every american, i hope
6:47 am
every american can come together and celebrate the end of slavery as a texan growing up i knew of juneteenth but that's because it was a texas holiday one day when the last slave in the united states learned of their freedom but there are other days that are or have been nationally recognized for quite sometype, like emancipation day so it seem s like the last two years, juneteenth became this cultural moment. we could see video of joe biden a year ago not knowing what juneteenth was. he literally didn't know what it was about, so how did juneteenth become this thing of national significance and importance? >> yeah, well, a few things. first off, as you mentioned, several things around the country and this is already a thing of much significance, even just three years ago actually i was talking on fox news about the importance of juneteenth, but i think what you're hinting at is there are some people who want to try to use certain holidays to divide us and so some folks are kind of raising an alarm about look at the timing of this and it distracts from the 4th of july.
6:48 am
there are people out there that absolutely want to divide americans but we can't change who we are. those who love this country, we can't change who we are, because there are people out there that want to divide us so as for me, i'm going to go for it and celebrate juneteenth as my family has done for a long time and i'll also celebrate the 4th of july and that's what makes it there. will: i like what you said there i think that's really good. we might appropriately question the motivations of some people but that doesn't takeaway the significance and meaning of this very important day, and its true meaning what it's about for the entire nation. this is something though that does make people skeptical taking a look really quickly at macy grey, who is a singer who had one really big hit that most of us know but she said this about the american flag. it's tattered, dated, divisive and incorrect no longer represents democracy and freedom and she proposed a new flag where the stars on the flag represent differing shades of skin color, so, i think you're right. there are people weary of juneteenth suddenly become a thing sitting next to 4th of july because they worry this is
6:49 am
the direction we're headed where we're losing the things that truly should bring us together like the flag of the united states of america. >> yeah, i mean, so first off, macy grey makes great music , much better than her political views, obviously, but the thing is this , this is going to be an ongoing thing. it's the american flag, it's the national anthem, it's any kind of symbol of patriotism is going to be under attack by some people in our country but the key here is that those of us that know what we stand for , and know what we value about our country, we have to move forward we have to leave the village idiots behind and move forward as a country. those of us that care, and june 19th what had been juneteenth the day has been celebrated for generations that's why it's specifically june 19. it wasn't strategically chosen. will: celebrations we all can recognize the end of slavery, symbols that should bring us altogether like the american
6:50 am
flag or the 4th of july. these, you're right are the important things to remember not let the village idiots define the conversation but the fear right now, is that the village idiots do define the conversation. there has to be some pushback. >> we have to speak up. will: that's right speak up, pushback and have the conversation. thank you, jeremy appreciate being with you this morning. more fox & friends coming up. if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, little things can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines, and if you're pregnant or planning to be.
