♪. will: good morning, america. good morning talladega. welcome to nascar's present and past. "fox & friends" weekend. pete: you can have it. no you can't. good morning everybody. we had three cars out there we were supposed to chart. two of them were locked and one i flooded the engine when i tried to start it.

show you the nascar prowess of this team. this is talladega. sunday morning. no one is up here yet. rachel: no one is here yet nice weather. great sign for the rest of the day. you guys kept me up way too late yesterday. pete: that is true. we had a good night yesterday. we might show some of that. rachel was at mid field of the usfl game, doing the coin flip. rachel: tell you something funny, i got home after we did that. my daughter called me, was in college, all her college guy friends called her, your mom is doing the flip. will: that is a great sign. rachel: that is a great sign. will: we lived up to our promise yesterday, visit the infield, watch playoff basketball, go to usfl football game.

the only promise we didn't live up to, exceeded to it. rachel: i got a lot of peer pressure. i came. it worked. you know what? i had a great time. it is just awesome to see what is going on there, how much investment they're putting into this league. how much pride everyone who is there had in this league, this whole endeavor, it was awesome. pete: we had to tell rachel, she thought you had to catch the coin. >> thank god. pete: she hesitated a little bit. but she got it. >> a little preview. there will be cheerleading going on, not just me. pete: did they get that on tape? rachel: on tape. pom-pom girls. pete: stars beat the maulers in the game you flipped coin on.

we had food with the bigwigs. will: speaking of bigwigs, rick reichmuth is here as well. he has update what is going on around the track and around the nation, with our weather. rick: by the way i had dinner people coming up to me said did pete and will go to the game? they said they were going to the game. amazing restaurant here in birmingham, amazing town. including up the road in huntsville, alabama, the biggest city, because of all the space exploration, growth with the private industry. i got to sit down earlier this week with charlie duke, one of the astronauts who walked on the moon, one of 12 people who walked on the moon, he is 86 years old. later on this hour we'll show you some of that interview. amazing guy with amazing perspective as one of the few people who walked on the moon. you won't want to see that coming up in a few minutes, guys.

rachel: all right. pete: rick, thank you very much. finds a way to do his own thing. rachel: he finds the best restaurant. finds an astronaut you guys a couple coors light, what the heck. oh, boy. pete: you know. rachel: tell tell you somebody else who are very disappointed. that is democrat stratgifts. they're very concerned. they're not hiding how bad thinks looking for the democrats coming up in the midterms. because the biden administration shows no sign of changing course, just full speed ahead. they know they will need some lifeboats come midterm. here is headline from the "new york times." time to head for the lifeboats, democrat fatalism intensifies. another quote from dem strategist and advisors. they're -- pete: from the article. rachel: from the article, are you call, this is anonymous dem strategist saying are you calling me to ask me about our

doom? pete: "new york times" reporter called this democrat strategist. i know what you're talking about. democratic consultant from the article. the vibes just feel very off. will: doug, former political advisor for bill clinton. it will be a terrible cycle for the democrats. you remember robert gibbs, the press secretary from barack obama. what you're seeing people feel like it is time to head for the lifeboats rather than trying to steer the ship. why? why is everybody saying this? take a look at the latest job approval ratings for joe biden. he is currently now at a 41% approval rating. that is as compared to where he stood in january of 2021 when he took office with a 57% approval rating. pete: that is us sharing the most generous approval rating, considering quinnepiac and others have him in the low 30s. 20% drop from the high point when he first took office. i don't think, you can go back

and check, not very often a "new york times" reporter able to call up rank-and-file democrat strategists saying this is openly a train wreck. rachel: trying to put a nice spin. pete: here is how we might turn the corner. how things will change the next six months before the midterm. when you're waving the white flag, doesn't mean republicans have to have anything in the bag per se. they have to demonstrate they can do something about what biden is doing, that is a bad sign for them, the far left turn the party has taken which people clearly rejecting. >> interesting contrast to joe biden who keeps going out saying things have never looked better. america has never had a brighter future. no one feels that way. i think you can see how delusional he is, really his decline by what we saw the last couple weeks which was over easter, not only did we see the

easter bunny try to direct joe biden away from questions, he began to answer questions about afghanistan which is a danger, danger zone for the biden administration which shows he is not all there. there was another scene where he was sitting next to jill, again at the easter egg roll, she he tried to get up, tapped him on the leg, no, no, you have to stay. i tweeted about it. she is acting more like a visiting angel than the first lady of the united states. i think that is how everybody is. somebody who noticed this weird easter bunny handler, caretaker, visiting angel, whatever you want to call it at the easter egg roll donald trump who was at a rally last night. here is what he had to say about it. >> we never had anything like this. we have a president right now sadly who has absolutely no idea what the hell is happening. he is shaking hands with the

air. he is walking around. somewhat bewildered. it is no good. taking orders from the easter bunny, you saw that one? no, no. the easter bunny was a political operative. he did a good job. we should hire that guy. he was pretty good. will: the easter bunny was running interference. the easter bunny stop that questioning about afghanistan. i would yet add another moment, rachel, on top of the embarrassing ones you laid out. there is the moment jill biden telling joe biden when to wave at the end of a speech. he was standing on a podium, you can hear jill mutter to him, wave, wave. think about what is going on. the numbers we share, these approval numbers are overall. they are more depressing when you look inside some of the

smaller sections of society, the slices of the demographics. specifically when it comes to young people. brian kilmeade was on our show yesterday. joe biden is bleeding support among young people. 18 to 34, his numbers with and without a college degree dropped 20%. ethnicity, latinos, you brought that up numerous times, he lost 29%. 18 to 34 black voters, he has lost over 30% of support. finally we ask ourselves why? i think you both laid out several reasons. far left politics that he has adopted. competency is a massive one. no matter your age, demographic, or even voting pattern, people can look, say, that guy is not on top of the situation. finally, what's going well? inflation, foreign policy, economy at large, crime, the border what is going well. you will come back with the

answer. nothing. pete: unholy, no doubt. watch that speech of former president trump on "fox nation," as you can watch each and everyone. part of why they're so open to admitting this on the democratic party side, i would describe a lot of donald trump supporters, born-again americans, reminding what makes this country special, and a leader who is able to articulate. everything donald trump predicted might happen has come true. rachel: faster. pete: faster. in our culture, in our classrooms, with covid. you still have the born-again americans are excited to go vote in 2022. they will be poll watchers. concerned about what happened in 2020. malaise on democrat side. nothing good to point to. rachel: "fox nation" is carrying that speech. i got to see a little bit of it, in it the old trump comes out, i called melania, asked her about my speech was going, asked her

how my hair was. she said not good. not food. so the old funny donald trump is still there. so if you get a chance, get on "fox nation" if you missed it. fox news alert, longest, longest serving republican in the history of the senate, orrin hatch has died. will: the hatch foundation remembering the former utah senator with wisdom, kindness, compassion. pete: carley shimkus live in the stupid with more. reporter: the hatch foundation confirmed the news of orrin hatch. he was longest republican in the had it of senate and longest serving senator in history of utah. hatch serving 42 years in congress. first elected in 1986. retiring in 2018 after seven terms. hatch was known for unnying

ukraine is expecting specific things and weapons. >> translator: we have people from the u.s. meeting we will have secretary of defense and secretary of state. they will need to support the ukrainian people as well. reporter: in the port city of odesa russian missiles striking a neighborhood yesterday, killing at least eight people. an infant is among the dead. also on saturday the ukrainian military said it destroyed a russian come man post in kherson killing two generals. 50 senior russian officers were in the command center. current finnish ambassador to the u.s., tells fox news, despite the carnage in ukraine thinks putin will not cross nato alliances. >> i was ambassador to russia before this they will respect

article v, nato's resilience. they have never tried to test it. i continue to be believe so, nato is a strong alliance and russians fully respect that. reporter: today is orthodox easter. people across the country marking the holy holiday. for orthodox christians in ukraine there is no physical church to holding the services today. the russians were using the church to store ambitions. ukraine bombed it to make the russians leave. he says he thinks president biden still thinks president biden should visit this country. back to you guys in talladega. pete: thank you, matt, very much. rachel: so sad to see the beautiful churches destroyed. orthodox churches are ornate and gorgeous. what a sad thing. pete: bombings in odesa, they talked about yesterday, putin is committed to the southern strategy, trying to control the black sea. pray for the folks there.

rachel: absolutely. will: back here at home the texas department of military that the missing national guard soldier is feared dead. we told you about the story yesterday. the new information seems to be that the illegal immigrants that this national guardsman was attempting to rescue were in fact involved in the illicit drug trade. that he was sacrificing, risking and perhaps ultimately sacrificing his life, not just to save human life but because he had been put into a situation to control chaos at the border, one that is directly tied to importing illicit drugs including record amounts of fentanyl making their way into this country. rachel: that is the problem, the people coming over the border we don't know who they are. democrats will say these are just all hard-working people coming across. sure, some are people looking for a job, a better life. many of them are sex traffickers, are drug traffickers, are people who are, you know in the human sex trade

and smuggling children across, kidnapping them from the streets of mexico or central america, using them as a way to get across and using them in this trade. there is no, we have no idea who is coming across. that's the problem. pete: there is no way this texas national guard soldier would have known that the people he was saving were trafficking drugs. yet, he laid his life down, by the way we're not revealing the name yet, next of kin to be notified. being careful about all that of course as we are as well. but that is the kind of danger these troops are in on the border trying to do what the federal government won't do. here's the thing, we covered this tragedy on our show yesterday. you would think you lose a u.s. soldier on the border, especially now we know it was a drug trafficker that survived because of him. that might be news, right? we checked the tape, so that you guys don't have to watch these other channels. look how much coverage the other networks gave the fact that a

texas national guard soldier died in the line of duty on our border. abc generously gave 20 seconds. everyone else, not a mention, between friday morning and saturday at 7:30 p.m. eastern time. rachel: pete, compare that to the kind of, you know, round-the-clock coverage that the so-called lie about the border patrol being with the asian immigrants. pete: wall-to-wall. rachel: wall-to-wall coverage. a hero dying, saving he had no idea was a drug trafficker, that is a big story. especially in light, here is why it's a big story. if you're in the media, you don't care about the border, you now have democrat members of congress who have in an alarming way peeled away from the administration's policy and have said, please don't lift title 42. so this is a story, if nothing else, because democrats are now

agreeing with republicans on the chaos and the problems at the border. will: democrats may be agreeing with republicans but the narrative within the mainstream media is still antagonistic. not to republicans but to the american public in understanding what is happening at this border. of course they're not going to cover this story because they're not covering the crisis at the border. pete: correct. will: you would not know there is a crisis at the border but for coverage on a few outlets on the fox news channel. if you watch the other channels you wouldn't know we hit record number of illegal crossings in march of 221,000. if they popped into tell you the story about the death after national guardsmen, it would be a doctor reporting on elysian on a nation's skin. what is wrong with him, why does he have elysian. requires you to tell your audience about the underlying

crisis that led to this. pete: really well-said. you're exactly right. there are viewers up to date on the latest leak in the january 6th committee though. if you do turn the channel, you watch that, it is the latest tell-all book in washington, d.c., who said what about who, who texted, who called who on january 6, that is what they're talking about. completely disconnected from ordinary lives of americans who don't even live at the border but their communities are awash of people here illegally, looking for jobs, looking to send kids to school. it impacts or handymen in queens who killed -- it is amazing. will: love to put our producers on in real time, apologies, i would love to see a graphic or a staff how much media coverage there has been on the border at large over the last week or two? how about since news was revealed we had a record number of border crossings encounters in the month of march, how much coverage did that revelation earn in the mainstream media?

that would be fascinating. >> talking about the media, but the politicians do respond to the voters. you're seeing democrats go, i'm, there is absolutely no chance i'm going to win this election if i don't, if i don't contradict my own party on this policy. so the american people are not stupid. they may not be getting it from cnn, somehow they're figuring out, whether because of class size for their kids, second grade classroom is now 35 and it was 25? somehow they're figuring out there are people coming across the border in record numbers and they're winding up in their towns. they're telling their politicians and their politicians are saying i will lose if i keep going. pete: great question. we'll see if we get a stat how much coverage there has been. rodney scott, former u.s. border patrol chief is on the program in the next hour. we'll get details. will: reality has a way of rudely interrupting your

superintendent, school principal, the school board, i thought we were on the same sheet of music. i would eliminate all of that, even though it wasn't happening. you know, even a what if they felt. and that was just doing it by myself. i thought we were on the same sheet of music when i stopped having students with me all together. will: yeah. and look i know you mentioned this in the past, you could interview every single student individually to see if they felt coerced, as a sports fan i'm accustomed to seeing the game at professional ranks, players choosing to pray together at the end of the gape. the school board is saying they are focused on every single individual's religious freedom. hiram, you look at the supreme court makeup today, what kind of, what are you expecting, hoping to happen as you make your arguments before the supreme court tomorrow? >> i think the great thing is we'll get down to the truth, which is what this case is all

about. whether or not they will allow coach to do anything sort of demonstrative. i was fired after he prayed completely by himself. the school districts lawyers tried to run away of this, tried too make it a case about something else. you can get all the facts of this case at our website at first liberty.org. we have a whole fact deadline set up for you. you can see the whole timeline. will: excellent. we wish you guys the best of luck. thank you, coach, for sharing your story with us this morning on "fox & friends." >> absolutely. have a great one. will: all right. still ahead rick reichmuth visited the u.s. space and rocket center in huntsville last week. he got a exclusive interview with astronaut charles duke. we got a behind-the-scenes look at this out of this world experience coming up. ♪. before treating your chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month each lasting 4 hours or more,

lunar horizon and the blackness of space. so that is indelible in my mind, just that contrast and the, oh, i'm on the moon. i never got over it, 72 hours, it was still exciting. >> this view is spectacular. i have never seen it. all i can say it is spectacular. >> you still have the recognition of being the youngest person whoever walk on the moon. you're 86 years old. >> i'm still the youngest person on the moon. hopefully with artemus next couple years, they will have somebody younger than i am. i will surrender the title. >> internal liftoff, we have liftoff. >> huntsville had a big role to play. it was the marshall space flight center that had the responsibility for designing and engineering the saturn v rocket, which was the rocket that lifted us all.

pete: joey logano, 22 car, richard childress, clint boyer, covering it as well the fox sports, the big race coming on later today. we have news to talk about this morning as well. at this point, one of your favorite people we'll be talking about. rachel: you guys everything for joe. i kind of do. but here's the deal, there is a book just came out. we, it says that joe biden was pretty upset about what kamala had to say about her husband joe biden during the debates where she basically, you know, kamala basically said he was a racist. pete: yeah. rachel: this is expert of the new book. this will not pass, trump, biden, battle for america's future is the book. millions of people in the united states, why says jill do we have to choose the one who attacked joe? and this is what she is talking about. here's the clip.

>> to hear you talk about the reputations of two united states senators who built their reputation an career on segregation of race in this country. you know there was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her public school and she was bused to school every day. and that little girl was me. >> that is mischaracterization of my position across the board. i did not praise racist. i agreed, my time's up, i'm sorry. [cheers and applause] rachel: so, i think it's a little revealing what politicians get riled up about. i include jill, because she is a political spouse. here her family has, incredible amounts of skeletons in their closet. dirty deals in china and ukraine and russia, and what she is most upset about is her husband being

called a racist by kamala harris. will: i don't think, it is hard to understand why she would feel that way. if you're going to pick a running mate, why do you pick the person who stands on stage and slanders your husband as a racist? well we might have insight as to why that would be. this is also from the book. which reads as follow, yes, harris had attacked biden more harshly than any other major candidate in the democratic primary. the biden family saw it as a smear and betrayal. in klain's assessment, ron klain, white house chief of staff, could work to biden's advantage. that you're magnanimous and show the country what a unified leader you would be. can i give a takeaway, might be deeper than the spat between harris and biden. earlier in the show we talked about joe biden's growing senility or incompetence getting obvious to the american people, directed by the easter bunny.

it leads to a obvious but very important question that every american should be asking right now. if not the president who is running the country? if the president is incapable of making day-to-day decisions or being guided by others, who is doing the guiding. that quote right there suggests to you the potential answer is ron klain. pete: a lot of people have suggested that. indeed, when jill biden asks the question why do we have to pick the one person that attacked joe? it is because based on their own criteria they set it was going to be a woman and going to be a minority, who else was running for president at that time but kamala harris. she answers her own question based on the categories they identified in that particular case. rachel: great point. pete: it was never about competency, best partner, working together, track record. talk about the skeletons bidens had, they didn't count that coming out because they didn't think hunter would drop oaf a

laptop and not pick it up. they thought they had that under wraps. this is not a competent operation. they didn't do it, obviously didn't do any looking into how well she ran her senate office as well. just a little bit of digging there, revealed what we're seeing now as amount of departures coming out of the vice president. rachel: they were in a primary. things happen. even donald trump has been, you know, asked about why did you endorse j.d. vance. last night in the speech, jd, i admit it, jd has said bad blank about me. so have a lot of people. in the end you kind of have to make your political bed the way you have to make it. you're absolutely right, pete. there was a criteria. the female black vote, they need that. that is one of the most important constituencies they have, votes reliably in 99% almost for joe biden and the deal was, we'll let you have this old white man who maybe isn't even all there, spent his

whole time in the basement but you better give us a black female vice president. that was the deal. pete: that was the deal to get elected. now you have to govern. 13 staff members, including chief of staff for kamala harris left that office. a staggering ad bigs -- admission inability to govern. look at jobs she has been given and the what happened in those jobs. rachel: inordinate amount of people, those people you see there don't want the taint or smear having been associated with her, or she is an absolute diva, no one wants to work with her. will: many complaints the american public has with the biden administration so far. that is obvious in the polling, and there are many reasons. let's not underestimate the obvious one, can you say this is an administration of competence? i think the american people are saying no. rachel: i think you're right. will: let's turn to carley shimkus with additional

headlines. reporter: i have more details on the killing of orsolya gaal. the killer stopped at chipotle mexican grill before his arrest. chipotle employees said gaal's man was friendly and asked for a water cup. hours later david bonola turned himself into police facing multiple charges, second-degree murder. bonola. was illegal from mexico. a judge calling florida authoritarian and antibusiness. this comes as governor ron desantis signed a bill, to dissolve disney's self-governing status in florida, one in place for 55 years. the bill signing comes after disney openedly opposed governor's parental rights

superspeedway. pete: why, it is true, evident. >> because his dad, bill elliot the hall-of-famer was popular. he was nascar's most popular driver of two decades. he took himself out of running so other drivers could get the award. he was that popular. chase inherited all of his dad's fans when he got to the cup series. bubba wallace driving the 23 car, number 23 for michael jordan, he made fame news in the nba. he has finished sir, second, first in the last three superspeedway races. keep an eye on that guy. will: ryan blaney feel as little robbed because of the wreck in the final stretches of race. ricky stenhouse, jr., felt the same way. quite a few guys, taking the track i almost had it in daytona and will get it in talladega. >> they never forget. like a golfer, they remember every hole on the course. how do you remember the nuances?

drivers are the same way. remember every single race, the move i made on you, the move you made on me. they will pay back or use other friend. in superspeedway racing you need friends to get to the front. two are faster than one, 10 are faster than five. it is about having friends. about exacting revenge, ricky stenhouse, ryan blaney, this track or style of racing owes them one. they will be aggressive. >> find out who your friends are on the track. >> that's right. rachel: you love cars. by the way we're glad you're here. we know you love cars. you have a show on "fox nation" about cars. tell us about it. >> yeah it will premier, can't believe it, tomorrow night on fox business, 9:00 p.m. eastern time. we've been cooking this baby six months. i can't wait for everyone to see it tomorrow night. it will be great. we followed 10 families from around the country. each episode is its own family. grown children surprising their parents by restoring a car they have had in for years.

complexity of the border. some people want to talk about the border, only shop pictures, call people asylum-seekers, show the families coming across but the entire border is controlled by the cartel. nothing crosses the border without the cartel crossing it. agents have no idea who they're encountering until they have hands on. our borders are completely out of control now. we keep talking about the wave of migration and title 42 if that goes away. that wave is already here. there are criminals, terrorists mixed in. our nation is at risk. nothing stays in the border. going to a town where viewers live in right now. they go everywhere. the biden administration ignores it. doesn't even have the courtesy to acknowledge the death of a soldier. rachel: no. it is unbelievable. especially if you look at the amount of time, we talked about this morning, rodney, time spent on a false story about border

patrol whipping haitian illegal immigrants. turned out to be false. never apologized to the administration about that. ignoring of the press and biden administration, democrat lawmakers what happened to the poor soldier. do we know, his kin has been informed. do we know anything further about this. they still searching for the body? what is the latest? >> the latest information i have from texas is they are still searching. i'm not directly involved in the notification, so i won't go any farther with that. i do know that both texas dps and the governor's office, the national guard office is heavily involved but i don't have any other follow-up information on that. this is another travesty could have been prevented if we would have continued to secure the border like we have in every prior administration. this administration just completely walked away from america. walked away from border security. rachel: yeah. it is an absolute tragedy.

he said he had nothing to do with it. pete: this new revelation not from the if laptop. this is not a russian disinformation thing from the laptop. this is a a freedom of information request from the official white house logs during the obama presidency. and the new york post obtained that information. they're staying on this topic. and what was found in that article? 19 visits by hunter biden's top business associates to the white house, one of which was with joe biden, many of which were with joe biden and joe biden's aides as well. rachel: as well as jill biden's aides. pete: correct. and what does that -- by the way, when i interviewed the reporter who did that story is, he said next to explanation which you're supposed to have? none, blank on each of them. there's actually one e-mail, i think we have it if we could show it. this actually came from the laptop which is tied to these types of meetings. this guy's name is eric, i

believe, hunter biden's business associate. look at this e-mail that that he sent to hunter biden from july 6th of 2010. he said youred dad, meaning joe biden, just call me about his mortgage, and he mentioned he'd be out a lot soon and not back until labor day, he could use some positive news about his future earnings potential. four months later, eric met with joe biden in the white house. rachel: yes. and -- pete: what are they talking about? if. rachel: and go back to the e-mails found in hunter biden's laptop from hell, and you see a competition from hunter biden and his daughter saying, listen, i'm not like my dad. i'm not making you guys, i'm not having to pay for all your bills. and there's all this, you know, conversation about hunt -- hunter biden basically funding and paying his dad. now, all of us have kids, mine are older, none of us expect that our children are going to be paying our mortgage as that e-mail indicates right there.

and, again, a lot of emphasis on hunter, but this really is about joe biden. will: it's a puzzle that you have to begin to put together, and you mentioned this yesterday, and you're right. the pieces of which are not simply about the laptop. there's a lot of pieces that you place to begin to get the full picture, and this is yet another piece, and the piece adds up to this: hunter biden had very shady business dealings. he was involved in businesses that he had no real world qualifications for. those business dealings were with corrupt regimes in china and ukraine among others, and the question was, a, why did he have those jobs and, b, what was his job? as we begin to see the job was to connect joe biden to those businesses. that's the allegation, and now you see the puzzle pieces coming into place with meetings at the white house. and as you add it up, you mentioned this, you start to look for the quid pro quo. why was this happening, was

there money being exchangeed. you hear joe biden talking about his future finances. did he receive money? did american policy shift -- rachel: exactly. will: and this is where the puzzle lies -- rachel: there's two things i have to say about this. first of all, where is the fbi? where is national security? it is not harold. we should not have to piece this together on "fox & friends." there are forensic audits, they do this stuff automatic time. all -- all the time. the financial payments, the e-mails, the time frame, the credit cards, remember, he used a credit card once to pay a stripper, and it turned out to be joe biden's -- there's all kinds of stuff. the fbi is absent on this. and i want to talk really quickly about why this matters to the american people. corruption matters. corruption in politics matters. but this is why it really matters. this is from senator ron johnson who has been an absolute warrior on this. he says i'll tell you who does

know about this web of lies, russian intelligence, chinese intelligence. is that why he lifted the sanctions on nord stream 2 pipeline which, again, was one of the factors emboldening putin to invade ukraine? what does china know? is that why joe biden canceled the china initiative to make sure they don't steal our inte lek chut property -- intellectual property? president biden is dramatically and seriously compromised -- pete: that's why it matters. rachel: that is why it matters to you listening. pete: there are fewer questions for ukraine. will: hunter biden sat on the board of burisma. there was a corrupt owner of burisma who was being investigated by a prosecutor. when the united states pushed ukraine to crack down on its own corruption. but then when that prosecutor started looking into the burisma executive that hunter biden was connected to, it's joe who picks up the phone -- pete: and he bragged about it.

he's going to have to deal with these denials. here's a flashback of how joe biden has denied or downplaided any knowledge or involvement in what hunter was doing. >> reporter: did hunter biden commit a crime? have you spoken to your son, mr. president-elect? >> i'm proud of my son. >> reporter: how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings? >> i've never spoken to my son his overseas business dealings. i've never discussed with my son or my brother anything to do with their businesses, period. >> do you think it was wrong for him to take that position -- >> no. >> knowing that it was really was that -- because that company wasn't access to you? >> that's not true. no one said that. who said that? pete: never is a big world. he said it often. rachel: he did. this is serious stuff. will: it really is. pete: you know, you looked at that and there's joe biden's son, obviously, one thing.

i think of our own kids, actual terrible transition by me, but i brought my book which i want to give a copy to each of you guys, and i also want to let our viewers know this weekend has been the cover reveal for me of my new book, "battle for the american mind," which i co-wrote with david goodwin, head of the christian chat call association of america -- classical. the reason i mention our kids, because that's whats what this is really about. this is about the education of our most precious gift, our kids and grand cuds, and how there has been a 100-year progressive plot9 and project to steal the american mind, to indoctrinate our kids and to rip away the freedom that we so passionately believe in. this is the hidden history, the unauthorized history of american education. we dug down deep and found the real roots of how we got to the insanity that we see today. and i think if you want to get a sense of the depth of the problem in education in the

classroom, that's the battle for the american mind. i'm going to read a quick excerpt, as we did yesterday, of the book to give you a sense of what we were going after. here it is. it's equity or equality, racism or anti-racism, sex or gender, it's confuse being. it confuses adults. smart adults. imagine what it does to kids. it doesn't confuse kids, it is the infused into kids. they start to instinctively speak the language of the left. if they don't, they simply can not navigate their coursework or peers. diversity, equity and inclusion are the centerpiece of their crick column -- curriculum. and this is not just the university, this is in middle schools and high schools, guys. and you guy, i know, share my passion for k-12 education imprinted on the a hearts of our kids. this book's trying to make a contribution to that. rachel: it's interesting, it's

now jumped from the schools, it's now on social media. pete: correct. rachel: you had some young people on who were fantastic from a local university here, and they a talked about how it's completely now part of the university. and the indoctrination is so deep now that by the time they get to the university, it used to be that the university indoctrinated your kids, and they'd come home from thanksgiving and you'd have these interesting conversations and fights with your kids. now they already get to the university indoctrinated, and many times they're actually turning in their professors. they are the enforcers -- will: we were talking about it yesterday. k-12 is indoctrination, once you get to college, it's the students running the show. pete: totally. and for parents, the first step to recovery in anything is admitting the depth9 of your problem. and that's what we're trying to get. to here's one more quote, a sex of the book with. why do we outsource the most important job we have to secular progressive -- rachel: what a great question?

pete: rachel, you've asked this many times. again, for some it's habit, for others it's financial, and for many it's that we continue to lie to ourselves that everything will be fine. we love our children, we take them to church, we teach them patriotism, we teach them vir dues -- virtues. yet we ship them off to school knowing what they encounter there the nine months out of the year reinforces none of our values. we ship them off to democrat camp every day. we are complicit in the undoing of our own belief, we are willfully blind to the indoctrination because it's easer is, cheaper and more comfortable to excuse if it away. it's hard, everyone wants to believe -- i went to public school, my parents went to public school, by dad was a public school teacher. you want to believe, oh, it's not my school. it is your school. it is your school district you pay the property taxes for. if you don't radically reorient your life and find another option to -- for your kids,

you're handing them over. rachel: you simply don't have the time at dinner to deprogram them. pete: correct. rachel: this is what i love about what you've done, pete. first of all, many of us, even those of us who thought we were educated on this, it starts much earlier as your book lays out, and you also talk about the solution. the solution is frankly, in my opinion -- because i don't want to spend my nights at school board meetings and fighting teachers and everything else, the solution is to pull your children out whether it's home school ising, charter or catholic school that meets your family's values. and you said something so important, it's about choosing the school and then choosing where you live. because if you just choose the nice neighborhood but the school nearby, you know, there's not an alternative -- pete: that's reorientation. that's what i think makes this book different, there are three chapters on solutions on what you can do as a parent or

grandparent. i believe it's a classical christian education, but there's also pods and home schooling options. and i want to thank, again, my co-author, david goodwin, who's an absolute subject matter expert on education. this used to be the church's responsibility in western christian, so thank you guys for a moment. rachel: what a service to america you're doing with this. love you for this. will: can't wait to get into it. appreciate your efforts. this thing is headed up the charts, you can preorder it, it's already climbing the amazon charts. rachel: it's a must-read. will: you cannot tailgate at talladega without great barbecue. pete: and our friends, the mche mothers, are back. rachel: rick reichmuth is just under the corner, why aren't we there? pete: we were there. rachel: i know we were tre yesterday. rick: you guys are doing more important stuff. this is the beauty of "fox & friends," you go from the

history of education to the history of the tomahawk steak. what's going onsome. >> we think we fed everybody here at fox, and thank y'all for coming out. this is what it's all about. whoo! at at talladega, that is a seven bone-in tomahawk rib rack. rick: i didn't even know that was a thing. >> 25 pounds. we have smoked this baby for 5 hours. i put it on at 2:00 this morning, 225 degrees. here's why this is so great. we are smoking at a low temperature, digital controls technology -- digital controlled technology with this giving you smoke-infused flavor, and this is when you start have having a little bit of fun. that right there -- >> look at the drip. >> -- that's what's up right there. then we want to take this top section -- rick: oh, man. >> that's what it's all about.

rachel: welcome back to "fox & friends." the texas military department revealed the two illegal immigrants the national guard soldier tried to rescue were involved in drug trafficking. bill melugin is in texas with more. bill? if. >> reporter: well, unfortunately, this national guard soldier is presumed to have drowned as he went into the water friday morning and never resurfaced. his family has been notified, and now we are learning that the two illegal immigrants he tried to save in the water are both reportedly drug smugglers. take a look at the statement put out by the texas military department, quote: the service member selflessly attempted to help two migrants who appeared to be drowning as they illegally crossed into the united states. initial reports from the texas rangers have determine that the two migrant grants were involved in narcotics trafficking.

this is from saturday as rescue crews went up and down the rio grande trying to find the body of this national guard soldier which is still missing. all they have found so far is his body armor, his radio and his cell phone which were disregarded -- discarded near the shoreline before he jumped into the water. that soldier still missing after he went into the water friday morning. it would be confirmed he is the first texas national guardsman to die in the rio grande, to drown in the river, since operation lone star was fist launched last year. send it back to you. rachel: thank you, bill. here to react is fox nation host tomi lahren. tomi, what's your reaction to what we're learning, that not only did this poor, you know, officer die in the surface of -- service 06 this country, but he did so saving two men who were coming here to bring illicit drugs? >> unfortunately, i think this is a story we're going to hear more, and this is biden's border

policy which is to blame for all of this. as someone who has spent a lot of time with law enforcement agents down at -- law enforcement agents down at the border, they do that every single day, yet they are demonized and vilify pd by the mainstream media and the democrats. let's think of how we have to have our texas national guardsmen out there doing the work that the biden administration refuses to do. i believe that the biden administration is partly to blame for this and, of course, person was laying down their life for people who have no legal right to be here. and how many of these people are getting across? how many drug traffickers, fentanyl, how many pounds of illicit drugs are coming into our country not detected? this is a horrible situation that could be prevented if with we doesn't send the message to to the world that our borders are open and this administration's not going to enforce them. rachel: border poratder patrol e

greatest humanitarian force in the western hemisphere, without a doubt. unfortunately, this man lost his life are, hopefully we'll find his body soon. outside of this network though, you would not know that this happened. there has been zero seconds on virtually every network, and the only mainstream network that did, i think it was abc. let me see, was it -- yes, it was abc, 20 seconds. >> just a passing comment. these people are sacrificing their lives for people who have no legal right to be here, and they do not have the resources that they need, and this administration is quiet on it. they don't say anything about the work they're doing, in fact, they vilify it. you know, it was during the trump administration when border agent as were with again vilified for doing their jobs, and we had all of our congressional delegations going down to bad mouth border patrol, but where are they when a guardsman lays down his life to

protect those who have no legal right to be here? rachel: aoc was down at those cages until she realized they were built by obama, and then she never came back. let's go on to a second topic. this is interesting. you lived some time in california, i know you escaped -- [laughter] as it turns out, they have a terrible housing crisis, and now an op-ed ed in the l.a. times is suggesting maybe turning golf courses into housing is going to solve the homeless crisis in california. your thoughts? >> well, listen, they've already tried it with beaches, right? rachel: you're right, great point. >> people are just able to pitch tents. i lived in l.a. for several years, and this is not just a housing problem. how did we get to the point where you have a homeless crisis is in one of the wealthiest states, the fifth largest economy in the world, how do you have these problems? it's being run and mismanaged by

democrats who don't want to change what they're doing, and then they want to start changing people's recreational areas into homeless housing? we have to deal with addiction and mental health. for a lot of these folks if not for california's policies, they would be behind bars. that's what a lot of folks don't know about what's going on in california and los angeles. a lot of these people are dangerous individuals, and now they're in our parks, on the beaches. and why, again, is it costing over $800,000 to build a single housing unit in los angeles? who is running the show there? who is handing out these contracts? that's something that garcetti has to answer to, that gavin newsom has to answer to. not just throw money at the problem or give more valuable real estate up for affordable housing, you have to go to the root of the issue, and the root of the issue is horrible democrat mismanagement. rachel: it ises the most beautiful state, and it is really sad to see what has happened and to see good people like you had to flee because

it's not livable. >> it's unaffordable. most americans can't live in california. the only people that can are the very, very wealthy and the homeless, but the middle class is being completely squeezed out. it's time to change the way you vote, folks. that's the only way we're going to fix the problem in california. rachel: very, very rich and the poor. sounds very third world. all right, fom -- tomi. all right, welcome. to his crib, i got a tour of austin dillon's rv, and we'll show you the cozy pad on wheels. and then he'll join us on set with founder of bass pro shops, johnny miller. you don't want to miss it. ♪ at booking.com, finding perfect isn't rocket science.

[laughter] she kid it -- did it in high heels too. >> a seconds to, i'm very proud. rachel: thank you. all right. will: glad you're proud. so john durham, of the durham report, is scheduled to issue subpoenas to the clinton campaign and the democratic national committee. this investigation continues to, as many have suspected, sean, expand, durham seems to be conducting a serious and thorough and methodically placed investigation. >> yeah. so i think it's a lot of conservatives look at this and think that because it's taken so long, we thought it was going nowhere. but durham is actually taking his time, he's methodically, as you mentioned, going through all of the evidence and expanding his probe. and what's interesting, as durham is trying to go into the dnc and to the hillary clinton campaign to get more documents, what they're saying is, listen, you can't dote get that, this is

attorney/client privilege. this is for the sussmann trial. the problem is i can't conspire with my daughter in hi -- lawyer in my lawyer's office to rob a bank and give information because it's not attorney-client privilege. it's actually for a conspiracy to actually gather information and lie to the american people about donald trump. that doesn't work. that's what the democrats are trying to do, and durham is like, listen, sorry -- pete: what tools does he have to make them -- this is what we're seeing, subpoenas? >> right. they'll go to the court and the judge will make a decision whether to enforce those subpoenas or not. frankly, i think that durham will get the evidence, he will get the documents. will: you do? >> yeah, no doubt the dnc and hillary clinton do not want these documents to come up. they came up with the premise that donald trump conspired with russia. they pulled that out of thin

air. then they said, we're going to find the evidence to make this theory work, evidence that could lead a reasonable infor instance of an individual who reads this -- infor instance of an individual who reads this material. so it was all concocted. when they talk about a big lie, this was the big lie of 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. will: you talk about a reasonable inference, probably didn't even need that because they had a willing participant in the media to take whatever smoke they could create and assume there's fire. i want to go back to your optimism. do you think, sean, at the end of this entire investigation there will be some accountability and some obviousness to the truth? >> i don't know there's going to be accountability -- rachel: [inaudible] >> what i think is going to happen is we're going to expose what happened. that's all i ask for. again, i would love if people were prosecuted, people were put in jail. that would be great, but i want to know what they did, how they did it, what units of government

participated in this -- will: you're right. >> and the only way you can fix the problems is if we know what they did, and the american people go, hold on a sec, this is not how democracy works. this is not democracy. will: right. >> you can't use the tools of government to go after a sitting president. you can't get his metadata from the executive office and then try to make inferences that he's colluding with russia when it's absolutely false. that's not how our government works, and once we discover that, then we can step back and go, okay, this is what they did, they did cheat. not many people are going to jail, but we can never let this happen again. ray i'm really frustrating. and i get it, it's nice he's going through this methodically, blah, blah, blah, but by the time it comes out, a, like you said, it may not even go to who concocted it which was probably hillary clinton herself, but also it becomes this, like, page 12 little --

will: move on. rachel: i'm so frustrated because i did actually with, i voted for donald trump -- [laughter] pete: you did? fox news alert. rachel: i'm mad, i am mad that they made this up, and for four years he couldn't get everything he could get done. he got a lot done given what was around his neck with this, but he didn't get everything he wanted to get done, and there was always this russia and he didn't really win and all this kind of stuff. i'm mad about that. will: rachel, i think what you're saying is the risk is it will be ignored. when the truth is exposed, it will be ignored. i would just say in response to you, they ignore it today. it doesn't matter if it's today, who months from now or a year from now, they'll ignoring it at every moment -- they'll ignore it at every moment. at least i hope what durham is doing is bulletproofing the truth so it is undeniable. rachel: where do i get my four years back? if. pete: you're not going to get 'em back, but he may run again

in 2024. you just made that case. you cook -- look at what was done to him, not only was it not me, it was the clinton campaign and we proved it, now i'm running again in '24, get out of the way. i think's where a lot of people are looking -- >> and i think the frustration comes to look at how we have been prosecuted, how every tool of the law that's never been used against anybody is used against conservatives, but democrats can commit these kinds of crimes and nothing happens to them? the disparity in the equality and distribution of the law is what concerns us. but again, i'm not shooting for the stars, i'm shooting for information so we can fix it. rachel: and the disparity in the media coverageage is worth mentioning. pete: it's a huge story. will: all right, let's go. rachel: we gotta go. will: carly shimkus is in new york with more headlines. >> reporter: good morning, starting with a fox news alert. five people between 15 and 19

>> well, it ended bad. as you see, the shiny side was not up. [laughter] not the way you want this thing to go. luckily, i was okay, everything was fine, lived to see another day. next gen cars are a lot safer especially from a rollover perspective. so feel good ant it. about it. we've not to work the plan. it's a long race, you've got to work the plan. will: what happened at daytona, what happened yesterday, all of these to together, it seems to as we watch soup iser-speedway racing, it's to get to the end. but there's real white knuckle, i would assume on your part, a real white knuckle feeling as you get to those final laps about not just getting to the front, but to the finish line. >> that intensity just keeps ratcheting up as the race keeps going. you have the stages up early in the race to get some points, but when you start looking at the last 30, 20, 10 lap, all of a sudden, you know, the pushing and shoving's more aggressive, and you just feel it.

you know it's coming. and you hope you're towards the front or away from it somehow to where you can finish -- it's a really weird feeling, right? you're working with your teammates, you're doing everything you can to stay towards the front, because at least you have a better chance of avoiding the crash. but a lot of times it's in the top three or four positions, so it's a little crazy out there. rachel: i've been really interested because i didn't understand this how some drivers work with other drivers to take out another driver. so austin dillon was saying that he has his brother who helps him out. so are these little alliances happening? >> it's not to take anyone out -- out -- you'll see the team cars work together today. you'll see the fords work together. the superspeedways are different than where we were last week at bristol or next week in dover where you're on your own. you race for yourself and you're kind of -- you can be more

selfish. you can't win on your own. you have to have friends out there. everybody does. to move forward, you have to know you have people behind you that will go with you when you make the move, when you have your pit strategy, you can't be by yourself. you'll be three seconds slower a draft. have you to have drafting partners. we all want to win. tell me how that works. i don't know. rachel: it's a head scratcher. >> it's the world war i -- >> clear as a mud. >> we wish you the best of luck. appreciate you jumping on this morning. >> 22 car, take a look at it at talladega. >> it's almost 9:00 eastern time, here from talladega, 8:00 central. the final hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪

>> all i do is win, win, win, no matter what, that was the south side band playing all i do is win, here at the final hour of "fox & friends" on this sunday morning at talladega. they say this is talladega and guys, this morning, this place is bringing it for sure. great to be here. rachel: good morning. i'm feelings the energy. it keeps building and building with every hour, with every guest. really this is just an amazing experience. >> we start the show with the party ending in the infield at talladega and as we end the show with you this morning, the engines will begin to get started. we'll hear it throughout the morning as the garages come to life. it's an exciting place to be, hopefully at some point in your life you're here in person and

hopefully you're here today on fox at 2:30 at as the geico 5 a hundred starts its engines. >> there's nothing like seeing a race. i got hooked last year when we came to talladega. joey logano talked about the last 15 laps. you can tell the whole dynamic of the racetrack shifts. watch a little bit tonight, especially the end of the race, when you see what was a he predictable pack, it starts moving like this and they're bumping into each other and you're waiting for the wreck and you know it's coming and how do you survive it. rachel: you explained it so well, to win in this track they have to work together but in the end they all want to be the one who wins so it's kind of a crazy thing. how does that happen. >> and how essential survival is for victory, survive the crash. there's a crash happening within the democratic party as joe biden's poll numbers, the new

york times has had to confront this as they ran this following headline. it's time to head for the life boat, democratic fatalism intensifies. in this article they spoke to consultants, advisor, democratic strategists who seem to have a similar opinion about the midterms. >> here's one an a on muse democratic strategist saying -- anonymous democratic strategist saying. this is what the strategist said to the reporter who called, are you calling to ask me about our impending doom. rachel: another says the vibe feels very off. >> a former political advisor to bill clinton said it will be a terrible cycle for the democrats. robert gibbs who spoke for president obama when he was in the white house said what you're seeing is people feeling like it's time to head for the life boats rather than trying to steer the ship. rachel: the reason this is so incredible is because strategists are trying to put -- democrat or republican strategists, their job is to put

a happy spin on all of this and they are at this noint the game just -- point in the game just basically throwing their hands in the air and saying we give up, we're going to the life boat, it's going to be horrible. >> a stunning admission from people who know precisely what's coming down the pike and as we show joe biden right there, they know they have a leaderless party, effectively an empty white house that is idea idea ly whetted to the left. people are dismayed by what's happening to our country and they look at the white house and see -- not only do they see radical ideology but they see gross incompetence and there's no changing of the ship and the strategists are saying how bad will 2022 be, not which way is it going to go which is a stunning admission this far off because usually strategists in addition to spinning it will say this is how people are missing

the mark and this is how we'll remessage and we think we've got a fighting chance. they're not saying that right now. >> will: this is joe biden's approval rating from gallup, when he came into office in january of 2021, 57% approval rating. now, down to 41%. and we talked about throughout the morning, it's even worse when you dig into certain age demographics or certain ethnic groups, he's lost from 20 to 30 plus points with people and we explored the question of why, the most important question. i think we offered up some potential offers, the adoption of very far left policies, to your point, the biden administration has tried to convince the american public that actually, you don't get it, it's actually going really good for you but i guess you're not smart enough to really understand what's going on despite the rising crime rates, the trouble at the border, our bungled foreign policy, the economy, which is he deflating your dollar or inflating the price of everything. it's all there for you to see

what's happening in real life and don't underestimate the value and the power of what people can see with their own eyes about the competency of the president of the united states. taking orders from jill biden, sit down, wave, and taking orders apparently also from -- rachel: from another visiting angel. the easter bunny. jill and the easter bunny. by the way, we're going to show a clip very soon here of donald trump talking about it because i think it's interesting that -- but it's not unnoticed by as you say by all of us and i think it's time for us, especially after we saw what happened with the easter bunny, it really was pathetic that they would of put somebody in an easter bunny suit to lead him away. so our viewers know if they missed it, the president was asked about afghanistan, something that his advisors do not want him talking about. this is when the numbers for him began to tank with the debacle. so who is in the costume, they

are leading him away. >> that would be wall to wall questions. rachel: who is in -- exactly. >> if this were the trump white house. rachel: we have to stop pretending like this is not happening. this shouldn't be covered just on fox news. it is so important of. here's donald trump, tearing into this whole scene with the easter bunny. >> we've never had anything like this and we have a president right now, sadly, who has absolutely no idea what the hell is happening. he is shaking hands with the air. he's walking around somewhat bewildered. it's no good. and taking orders from the easter bunny. you saw that one? no, no, no. you know, the easter bunny was a political operative. he did a good job, actually. that guy, we should hire that guy. he was very good. rachel: we should hire that

guy. >> donald trump was in ohio, a primary there on the republican side coming soon. if you want to watch the speech you can do it at fox nation where it airs all of the president's rallies. this is another reason why the midterm numbers are dangerous for democrats. there's a movement that continues to gain steam led by donald trump which is eager and enthusiastic to vote in 2022 after what happened in 2020. so donald trump predicted if you hand the keys to these lunatics on the left, you're going to ruin our country. what happened in the last 15 months? they tried to ruin our country at every level. voters are enthusiastic to get another chance to give republicans a chance to right the ship and the combination of incompetence and ideology versus anen tuesdayas particular conservative base, news for democrats. >> the question of who is in the costume is not a joke. it's symbolic. if joe biden is not the one giving the orders but taking the orders, sit down, wave, move this way or that way, who is?

who is in the costume? who is directing policy? who is the leader of the free world? who is steering the ship today. rachel: some people say it's ron klain, his chief of staff. others say it's the obama team, it's valerie jarett, others say it's susan rice. what we do deserve is an answer. to what you were saying, pete, if we dig deeper into the numbers, and this is why this is a huge problem for them, there are certain votes, the black vote, hispanic vote, that are very reliable for democrats. they can do anything they want. remember when donald trump said i can shoot somebody and they will still vote for me. there are demographics for the democrats that have been reliable like that. they aren't anymore. the numbers we're seeing out of the hispanic community are absolutely astounding. they are causing democrats to lose their minds and you pointed out earlier, will, that there's weaknesses in the black vote.

.will: when it comes to 18 to 34, most polling shows the biden administration lost 30 of percentage points. pete: feels like a long way from november 2022. that's scary for a lot of folks. we're going toes it to carley shimkus. >> the man who set himself on fire, outside the supreme court building, dies from his injuries. first responders air lifted him to the hospital before landing on supreme court plaza. no one else was injured. authorities say the area reopened after a two-hour investigation confirming no threat to public safety. officials are still investigating the case. the motive remains unclear. tomorrow the supreme court will hear oral arguments from a washington state high school football coach who believes hes was wrongfully suspended from his job. joseph kennedy getting suspended for refusing to stop praying on-field after each game. will spoke to him earlier.

listen. >> we really work together on trying to get through all of this without any impact to the team or anything else and then they ended up terminating me just because i was praying by myself where people could see me. >> coach kennedy says he considers himself a, quote, big brother to many students he mentored as a long-standing football coach. the philadelphia stars win against the pittsburgh maulers. philadelphia making usfl history converting the league's first ever three point conversion, helping to push them to victory in the last nine minutes of the game. and the birmingham i don't think so win over the -- stallions win over the houston gamblers, the quarterback threw for 250 yards and two touchdowns in the win. before the game, a few familiar faces making a special appearance for the opening coin toss, our "fox & friends weekend" anchors, you see them

there getting things started in birmingham. and rachel, a perfectly executed coin toss by you. kind of difficult when you've never done it before and all eyes are on you but your talents just know nond. rachel: carley, you're the best. i was nervous. [laughter] rachel: i have been a cheer leader on the sideline of a football game. i've never been this up close to the scene that happens in the middle. >> isn't it cool to be on the field and see the size, the speed of the action when it comes to a football game. it is a violent, large sport. >> next level, no doubt. all right. our next guest is a racing legend, part of the alabama gang and nascar's hall of fame. he is still kicking it into gear at 89 years old. even taking a spin on the short track last night. two time talladega winner and nascar legend red farmer joins us now. red, great to have you here today. >> glad to be here. >> is they that your 08d car or

sitting behind us. >> that's my old fairlane. i won over a 100 features in that car. of course, that's a duplicate. >> red, what are you doing still on the track? you're still racing at 89. >> well, this starts my 75th year racing right now. of course, i'll be 90 my next birthday. i still enjoy it, love it. one thing, i've got three of my grandsons i race against over there every week, every saturday night. i enjoy working on my car and getting it prepared. it's kind of funny but after 75 years, i still feel like i did 30 years ago as far as racing. >> you still get that rush when you're racing? >> huh? >> you still get that rush when you're racing. >> oh, of yeah. i work on the cars and build them myself and then you need to go out and compete against somebody to see how it works out so you get satisfaction from that and like i said, i get to

race with three of my grandsons every week so of course they're spread out. one of them is 18, one is 25, one is 48. so -- [laughter] rachel: what does that mean for you to pass the great tradition on to them? >> huh? rachel: what does it mean to pass this great tradition on to them? >> well, their dad was a racer too. chris was their father, he raced for years so his two sons are racing now. we've got six cars in our garage. all of my grandsons' cars are in there too. it's like a family deal. and then my wife, she goes out and sells t-shirts and stuff at the track, one of my daughters will fix lunch or something. so it's still a family deal. rachel: it is a family deal. >> who wins when you get on the dirt track, you versus your grandsons, who wins. >> last year -- let's put it this way, i finished sixth in the point standing for the whole years one was seven, ones was eight. >> i think you answered the question. the answer is you.

>> what he's talking about is something we have to do next year. there's a dirt track outside of the superspeedway on friday nights, it's a must see event. that's where red apparently is still beating his grandkids. >> i love that. >> i hope so. i want to try and race this year, finish this year and run the ice bowl which is the biggest race we have every year, been running it for 30 something years and we had 352 cars in the pits last year for that race, 352 cars. so it's one of the biggest races of the year. i want to try to run that next january. i'll be 90 then. and then i'm going to try to slow down a little bit. [laughter] rachel: after 90. >> once he gets to 90. >> i don't know if i believe that. >> red, thank you. rachel: an honor to have you on. >> an inspiration. one of the coolest places to visit when you're at talladega is the dirt track. it's also a nearby barber vintage sports motor sports you museum. rachel: it's full of cool cars and motorcycles.

you can learn to drive like a pro with the track experience. we sent pete to check it out. pete: we're at the motor sports museum in birmingham, alabama, the single largest collection of motorcycles in the world. >> this is the dream vision of local businessman george farmer, back in 1989. we have 1,000 bikes on display and 80 cars. pete: and the collection continues to grow. >> talking about owning and indian motorcycle, here's the grand daddy. that is a 1903 indian single, at the time it was a motor powered motorcycle. we like to show military and show some of the history. harley davidson helped create the motorcycle we see today because the guys from the military came back home, brought units with them and started created motorcycle clubs and groups. >> kept together through their

bikes. >> what was the movie, the great escape? >> great escape, steve mcqueen. this was a british military flat head that came from the steve mcqueen collection. really neat. we looked at a lot of motorcycles but we do have a car collection as well. we have the largest collection of lotus race cars known to exist and in 1956, mr. barber saw this car, he saw the beauty, the he'll he gains -- elegance, it inspired him to want to be a race car driver. now i think we may have a car that will inspire you to maybe take up racing. pete: jeff, how are you doing? jeff, manager of the porsche driving experience. >> are you ready for a roller coaster ride. you ready for a couple hot laps now. pete: i would love it. let's do it. >> leave the power on gradually. and here we go.

>> so you had a chance to see the track. now we're going to turn some laps, all right, jeff, we're ready to go out. there we go. back to throttle. good. and you've got to remember e ,these are high horsepower cars. >> the way the engine reacts and everything -- >> you've got to be super smooth with the input to get the speed out. there you go. accelerate, accelerate and brake. >> what do we think, jeff? >> oh, my goodness,. >> is it official. >> you're official. it's part of the porsche track experience. >> it is an experience. >> you get all the go fast assignments. >> i've never driven a porsche before. rachel: porsche. >> it's the proper way to say it. anybody can go there to the museum and do the porsche

driving experience. >> what got your adrenaline going more, the road course or out here on the nascar. >> i love the porsche guys but going on daytona 150 miles an hour with no one else in the car was putting my life in my hands. i got to 125 on that track. it was cool. what those guys do on a short track, it shows how ditch owe -- how different ovals are from short track racing. rachel: i can't wrap my head around that they let you do that. >> i can't either. rachel: i'm afraid they may rein this whole thing in. >> it all felt safe but it made it fun. still to come, drivers are revving up for the big race. richard childress joins us to preview the race. .>> come on in. ♪

50 russian officers were there as well. it is orthodox easter today. this is a 16th century cathedral behind us. the windows are boarded up because of the war and here's what the priest had to say on this easter sunday. >> you have to celebrate because in the meaning of easter, before christ rose, there was suffering. he was betrayed and then he took the sins of all humanity on himself. suffering and self-sacrifice having people in the east are doing now. our heros on the front line are protecting our skies. >> reporter: and the chief of staff for ukrainian president zelenskyy tells fox news that he thinks president biden should still plan to visit this country. back to you, will. will: all right. thanks for that report, matt. southern border encounters are reaching record highs. you've heard about that. so what's happening is more than half of our nation's governors are responding, they're taking matters into their own hands. this week, 26 governors launched

the border strike force to secure the southern border. alabama is one of those states and lieutenant governor will ainsworth joins us now. before we get to the solution, why don't we talk about this issue of the southern border. it's too easy to dismiss as this is an arizona problem, a texas problem. here we are in alabama, it's an issue that's important to alabama. how does illegal immigration impactal bay ma. >> great to -- impact alabama. >> great to have you here. you look at how it impacts alabama. i live in gunnersville, alabama. a small town, just recently in the last month we had several teenage and college kids die from a fentanyl overdose with the drug batch that was tied back to mexico. and so when you look at the amount of drugs coming into america and president biden's failed policies, he hasn't protected the border. so at the end of the day, states are having to step up. we're having to do the job of

the federal government and certainly want to commend dr. ivy, governor abbott and the strike force is one of the tools we've got. we can't sit there and let people smuggle in people. the human trafficking side, that's become maybe a bigger business than the drug side, and we have a huge problem that we have to solve. >> it's not just an employment employment issue, not just an immigration issue, it's a crime and drug issue. let's talk about the solution, the strike force, talk about what 26 governors can get accomplished. >> we're going to get boots on the ground, people from alabama national guard, law enforcement members, making sure that we actually are going to be committed to getting the wall built. i think when you look at having people on the ground to deter that, look, there was a hero just in texas, the media has not talked about it, fox news has, but he went in and saved illegal immigrants trying to cross the

stream. they're sending the worst people across and it's drug cartels and a we've got to put a stop to it. alabama will continue to step up to the plate and support border states and continue to send people there. >> you hear that really tragic story that you bring up about the texas national guards boonmo may have lost his life trying to save another. what does this make you think and feel and perhaps consider? >> president trump said it best, you can't have a country without borders. we have to have borders. if the federal government is going to fail it's up to states to act. alabama and other conservative states, should be all states, but we're going to step up to the plate and make sure we protect our border. we're going to send resources and money. governor abbott has our full support to make sure we stop this huge problem. >> i'm sure no hesitation on behalf of the alabama national guardsmen and the texas national

guardsmen. somebody must pay the price to secure the border. we appreciate alabama's contribution. >> it's the right thing to do. talladega, hundreds of thousands of people, great to have "fox & friends" here. alabama is known for national championships, economy is booming, great to have you at talladega today. >> i like how you snuck in the national championship there. still to come, richard childress joins us live to preview today's geico 500 and that is next. ♪ ♪ ♪

than when you go to daytona. we used to have a daytona car and talladega car because there's that much difference. rachel: we were talking at the break, richard and i. he said his wife says he has a fox fever because he only watches fox and fox weather. so there you go. >> i've got her to watching it too. so she sits at night when i come home, i watch "fox & friends" an and we watch the weather to get the weather predictions. i've got the fever, i think.

washington crossing the delaware painting is going up for auction. officials think it will fetch around $20 million. the oil painting is one of only two surviving originals by artist emanuel loytsa. it hung in the west wing reception room from 1970 until 2014. it depicts george washington leading his troops on a surprise christmas night attack in 1776. it hits the auction block next month. how cool is that? over to you. >> really cool. i want to buy it really bad. i can't afford it. >> i feel like maybe i'll call hannity and tucker and laura and we'll pool our money together. i will be the minority stakeholder. i'll get it a couple weeks out of the year. rachel: where will you hang a it? >> i don't know. wherever the most prominent location is, of course. right if in the living room.

hunter biden's closest business partner, eric schwerin, reportedly had an official sit down with then vice president biden in the west wing in 2010. rachel: in logs obtained by the new york post reveal schwerin visited the white house and other prominent locations at least 19 times to hold meetings with biden's staff between 2009 and 2015. >> sunday morning futures anchor maria bartiromo is here to react. maria, you are so good at piecing the puzzle pieces together and this puzzle is beginning to come together. i know you're going to be focusing on it today on sunday morning futures. what do you make of this right now? maria: well, good morning, will, good morning, team. i mean, i think this is more evidence that this is not a hunter biden story as much as it is a joe biden story. we continue to see evidence that joe biden was well aware and in fact engaged with hundred 00's business.

we also know that hunter biden was paying the family bills for 30 years. so here he is, hauling in all of this cash from various officials across the world in china, in ukraine, in khazak, in russia and using the money he is making to pay the family bills. what are they actually paying for? they're paying for access to the then sitting vice president, vp joe biden. so this is a joe biden story all the way and this is in plain sight, influence peddling. unfortunately, it's times like this where we are facing a major war on ukraine that these things become so apparent to be national security risks and threats. what does china have on joe biden? why is this administration so soft on china? is it because they've taken in tens of millions of dollars? these are the questions that must be asked because we have a sitting commander in chief

having had all of this money sent his way via his son, hunter. don't forget the other story we're learning more about today, that is that hunter biden asked vie cheese officials he was working for -- chinese officials he was working for to get keys for joe and jill and they were his quote, unquote office mates. this is when take a look at the story and recognize this is not some gossip flow-away story -- throw-away story. no, this speaks to the national security of america and unfortunately has put this done any a compromising position. we're going to be talking about it this morning with miranda divine who has broken so much on this, along with peter schweizer, we'll have a panel of those two talking about it. we'll talk with the former director of national intelligence, john ratcliffe, who was the first intelligence official that came on this

program and told us the truth, that the hunter biden laptop was not russian disinformation at all. we also will be talking to john ratcliffe about major developments in the john durham investigation this past week. here's a question for you. you know how we have the clinton campaign on the run right now and you know how the clinton cronies are all saying we can't have he key documents involved in the case against michaels sussmann, the trial comes up next month. well, if these key documents are being hidden because of client/attorney privilege, then you can't use the excuse that michael sussmann has used by saying i was only, you know, working for myself and not working for a client. we're going to get into all of that as well as governor abbott with what he's doing with the migrants. see you in 10 minutes. >> we'll be watching, maria. thank you so much. rachel: thanks, maria. >> still to come here today,
