rachel: good morning, america and happy independence weekend to all of you you. it is 6:00 a.m. here in west point, new york, where we're having "fox & friends" all weaken long. good morning will, good morning pete. pete: it good morning. beautiful day for pt. cadets are up and at em. no rest for the weary, for them and us. rachel: you have bad memories of pt? pete: i have fond memories in retrospect. you never want to get up that early and work out if you don't have to. rachel: are you morning workout person? will: i am not a morning workout person. pete: part of the pt test.

liveselves on both sides. intense. will: keep sending your photos to us on independence day weekend. friend at foxnews.com. pete mentioned it. we are operating as well on fumes. we were up late last night, tonight is a special west point independence day celebration hosted by the three of us, 10:00 p.m. on the fox news channel and on "fox nation." a fireworks display. huge fireworks display. many of our kids and families were there last night along with people from all around the area. yes cadets mothers, fathers, family as the new plebe class made its way in. we had time off to enjoy the fireworks. pete: we sure did. it absolutely poured an hour before the show. we were a little bit delayed. the army stuck to the plan. skies cleared. thunder stop.

will: macaroni and cheese that turned into soup. rachel: turned into soup. pete: we had great guests t was a beautiful display. that is a little bit what it looked like before it bottom dark. a lot of people fleed and then a lot stayed. rachel: they came back. a kid, young man or women for the first time marching right here, these young cadets. you drove all the way out here, you flew all the way out here, you will not miss this moment. i give hats off to the army for west point, we're going to follow through. i thought it would be canceled. i never saw rain like this. it was torrential. pete: it was. they stuck it out. the view remains gorgeous. i said it last night, watching fireworks, made you think of 240 odd years ago when cannons were going off at the key locations between american fortifications and british ships as the war for

independence began. rachel: i thought a lot, it is so picturesque. it looks like a backdrop, like a fake backdrop, what did those people think looking at this beautiful land, beautiful spot? i would defend it too. will: speaking of that we'll have people on the program who have defended this country, defended freedom, medal of honor recipient staff sergeant david bellavia. general jack keane. joey jones throughout the program. black rifle coffee last night, i saw in the hotel. they were having refresh meants last night in the hotel lobby. frank earlier, tom homan, florida georgia line's brian kelley. start with no bigger star than rick reichmuth, tracking a tropical storm that is hitting the carolinas. rick. rick: if that was the strongest

rain you ever seen you need to get out to see more rainstorms. it wasn't that bad for an hour. >> you weren't even here. i'm not going -- you were at the hotel. [laughter]. rick: i was at the hotel which is half a mile from here, sitting out on the patio having a begin and tonic while you were getting ready under a little tent t was fine. i'm not going to lie. talk a little bit about the weather here. i have a spectacular backdrop behind me, i i have a spectaculr backdrop. it will improve today. show you the weather map. yesterday we had a surprise pop-up storm with tropical storm colin as quickly as a tropical storm storm it has now dissipated. if you're on the north carolina beaches, i suggest you stay out of the water unless you're a

really, really strong swimmer. that said, all the trop storm warnings have dropped because that is food. tomorrow conditions improve up and down the eastern seaboard for the celebrations and fourth of july. guys, back to you. pete: thank you, rick, we were both talking about all the video evidence we had last night. it will be on the program later just to shame rick, had a gin and tonic, could have texted us. no love. will: last night during our independence day special which will air tonight, there was a montage of clips from the introduction, sound from american citizens an american leaders including donald trump, talking about we are in this essentially whatever the fight for freedom to win. one stood out to me as well from ronald reagan talking about the spirit of america. and on this independence day

weekend we thought we would revisit a speech from 1986, from new york harbor on july 4th, where ronald reagan talked about at that point in time the future of america and the greatest threats to this country. listen. >> all through our history our presidents an leaders have spoken of national unity and warned us that the real obstacle moving forward on the boundaries of freedom, the only permanent danger for the hope that is america comes from within. it is easy enough to dismiss this as a kind of a familiar exhortation yet the truth is even two of our greatest founding fathers, john adams and thomas jefferson, once learned this lesson late in life. they worked so closely together in philadelphia for independence, but once that was gained and a government was formed something called partisan politics began to get in the way

rachel: such an amazing speech and in that speech he goes on to talk about how they were bitter enemies, political enemies and then later of course there are those famous letters between both of them where they exchanged everything from you know their health and all kinds of mundane topics on to the state of the country but they came together and became friends and ronald reagan concluded the speech, what they did in terms of our declaration of independence and forming this country was amazing but perhaps the greatest lesson that they taught us was about brotherhood. that in the end we have these differences but we need to come together, that the threat to america is from within if we break those bonds that unite us. pete: exactly right. partisanship is inevitable. we'll have different views how we see the world but our interaction with government. i guess the scary part about today is, when he was talking

about partisanship it was he and tip o'neill, democrat speaker they famously jarred with but they had a friendship. there was a core of reservoir and respect, love for the united states of america, the founding documents, its constitution, its principles, you could disagree but at the end of the day could agree on that core. we are an american experiment entering into a dangerous chapter of our experiment as keeping our republic as we teach our young people america want good from the beginning. i love those words and i agree with him. i think we're in uncharted water, how we educate them, bringing them to ceremonies like this to remind them how exceptional this country is. rachel: i grew up on a military base as you well know. i come from a hispanic family, i hear more talk about race and what divides us that makes us different now, what is that 30 years later than i did growing up in the military, in the

'70s, in the '80s. i do think in terms of race relations, something i think was starting that gap was starting to get thinner and smaller and we were starting to, i think in those decades feel a little bit more like what martin luther king wanted us to do, you know, not think about color and think more about character and who we share ideas and values with. i think we've gone backwards. i think that is part of the division that concerns me. this is what you're talking about. will: i'm of two minds, i do believe america's greatest threats are from within. i have a small disagreement in ronald reagan partisanship itself is our greatest threat. we'll be built around distreatments. the entire system was built around the idea people will hash out the disagreements through the form of government. the difference is, between i think even john adams and thomas jefferson where we are today, there is rejection of the bonds

they formed together with the declaration, with the constitution, with the foundation. there is rejection of the idea all men are quoted equal. there is rejection of the idea our form of government is ideal, be it the constitution. by the way we are not a democracy. for all the talk of democracy, it is worth some civics lessons to remind everyone we're a constitutional republic, not a democracy. pete: because our founders studied historic democracy. will: we have representative elected officials who vote on our half, limited by the rights protected by the constitution. that in of itself not something to remember hopefully would unite us. rachel: can i say interesting in this moment where roe v. wade was just overturned. i felt for a long time, i said this many times on television, in speeches i've given, i feel like roe v. wade is a big source of division in this country, i know people upset on the other side of the issue but maybe taking it back to the states

will be the beginning of the some of the healing, it will be in the hands of the voters and people. pete: i'm sighing. i want to agree with you. rachel: i think the decision itself, taking it out of the hands of the people was very divisive. even ruth bader ginsburg said the decision was on shaky ground and not constitutional. right now it is raw, maybe in the end it could possibly be part of the healing. i do believe roe v. wade has been a major source of very deep division. pete: everybody knew it was shaky, clinging to its removal or keeping it, resolving that maybe it does open another chapter. rachel: i hope so. we'll see. let's move on to travel chaos on something else that is really upsetting americans these days, travel chaos, it is in full swing in holiday weekend, leaving passengers canceled, flight cancellations and delays plague airports across the

country. pete: american airlines technical glitch yesterday left thousands of flights without any pilots. will: griff jenkins live in washington with the latest. reporter: good morning, will, pete, rachel. some are calling this air armageddon. problems keep coming. those taking to the friendly skies. since friday there have been more than 13,000 delays, 1241 cancelations. now if you have a flight delay, not looking better. flightaware real time data shows 388 flights already delayed, 184 and the sun is barely up. a lot of the misery was felt in the northeast where you guys are in crowded airports in newark where passengers were rightfully frustrated. listen. >> been up here at the counter for 2 1/2 hours now. just waiting. >> we're delayed an hour now. we've been up 24 hours. nobody really wants to be

delayed any longer than that. reporter: leading cancellations was american airlines, because of a so-called glitch in the scheduling platform which derailed things, left planes literally without pilots. the airline issued this statement, as a result of this technical glitch certain trip trading transactions were able to be processed when it shouldn't have been permitted. we restored the vast majority of the affected trips and do not anticipate any operational impact because of this issue. meanwhile transportation secretary pete buttigieg who had flights of his own canceled, told passengers to make airlines cough up cash rather than offering solace and solutions to the weekend chaos. airlines offer miles as compensation for travel issues. you can often negotiate on this. that is between you and the airline but you're entitled to cash refunds for canceled flights. that is a requirement we will continue to enforce. transportation pete also had a flight canceled if you recall

back on the juneteenth travel weekend. perhaps the top guy getting treated like the rest of us might just help. either way if you're flying this weekend bring your patience. pete, will, rachel. rachel: thank you, griff. amazing to see pete buttigieg tweet that. a lot of this is in his hands with all the mandates caused so many pilots and staff to retire to get out of that line of work. you know, he is working on equity roads. so he is on it. pete: fixing racist roads. all over it. doing a great job. rachel: turning now to your headlines, pete the police chief for the uvalde, texas, school district resigned from his position. ardondo resigned after a week after the mass shooting left 21 people 19 people dead. he is stepping down for the good of the city. over the delayed police response

to the shooting. governors of maryland and virginia are asking doj to use law enforcement to end protests at justice. leaders of both states say threatening activity against the justices has increased. they asked for state police and local authorities to enforce anti-picketing laws. both governors responding saying attorney general merrick garland has failed to enforce robust federal laws that should protect justices at their home. yeah. wow. it is championship sunday in the ufl. birmingham stallions will take on the philadelphia stars to cap off the league's inaugural season. birmingham enters as the favorite. don't count out the stars who are getting the 9-1 new jersey generals. the usfl church game is tonight on fox. later this morning the league

they didn't deserve it but we gave it to them. rachel: oh, i think they did. they did a great "fox & friends" segment [laughter] will: they will be here later on. rachel brought it up, you heard that in a transition there, a fascinating set of event took place over the last 24 hours. first president biden tweeted out, demanding that oil and gas companies bring undo the price of gas. here is what he had to say. my message to companies running gas stations, setting prices at pump, it is simple. this is a time of war and global peril. bring down the price you're charging at the pump to reflect the cost you're paying for the product, do it now. that interestingly, that exhortation of the oil and gas companies earned the response of chinese state media. pete: here is a tweet replying to joe biden from a chinese fate affiliated media. i will not pronounce it right, from chinese stay media. now u.s. president finally realized capitalism is all about

exploittation. he didn't believe this before. so you have got state media of china supporting what joe biden is saying. we can just, government can just tell companies they should lower their prices. that is how it works. rachel: this is very familiar stuff to people who lived in latin america. usually it happens before they privatize the oil companies. look, this is exactly what joe biden has been doing all along. first russia, russia. now will blame the oil companies. meanwhile by the way the taxes that federal and state governments take out of your every gallon of gas sold so more than the profits made by the oil companies themselves. now we have oligarch jeff bezos replying as well. ouch, inflation is far too important an problem for them to keep making statements like this. straight ahead misdirection or a deep misunderstanding of basic market dynamics. pete: not wrong. rachel: this is not the first time bezos weighed in on

inflation and joe biden's response to it. he is not happy. he was a big supporter of joe biden. will: interestingly jeff bezos is beginning to put himself in the category of people who traveled the path from supporter to critic or from perhaps even left to right. whether or not that is over time, joe rogan, bill maher, elon musk, now jeff bezos what you're looking at is essentially this administration losing the moderate left and gaining the endorsement of the chinese communist party. rachel: yeah. we talk about it on the show a lot. we look every day a little bit more like the chinese. more like the communists in terms of the way our economy is going, the way we're losing our freedoms over the pandemic. i remember at the beginning of the pandemic saying, we got to come out of this as americans and less like communist chinese n a lot of ways we did come out more like -- we normalized loss

of freedom. we're normalizing empty shelves, governments that can't even provide you know, make sure that formula is available for moms. these are problems we never faced in this country before. pete: they're self-inflicted problems as well. rachel: totally. pete: if this administration wanted to reverse course say we'll have all of the above energy strategy, we recognize our transition is not ready. we'll reinvest in oil and gas in this country, send those signals you can immediately make that change. instead beholden to the green new deal, climate activists they're all-in, as a result instead try to browbeat the oil and gas industry as if they did have complete power to say we set the prices. makes you think if they could they would want to say, this is the price of a gallon of gas in the united states of america as opposed to allowing the hidden hand of the market to actually work, which sometimes works against you when you have really bad policies targeting an

industry. it's a scary mentality indicative of the hard left today, which made its way all the way to the top of government. rachel: also and indication joe biden knows the american people are very upset about the prices but he is not willing to change the policies. will: how would you not? border patrol agent making another horrifying discovery, finding migrants jammed in tool boxes in a pickup truck in texas. rachel: the texas governor is calling on the white house to do something after more than 50 migrants were found dead in the back of a tractor-trailer. pete: griff jenkins live in washington. griff. reporter: good morning, pete, will, rachel, can you imagine how hot it got in the metal tool boxes? look at this, three migrants were from honduras were okay. the driver, a u.s. citizen was arrested. this is the el paso sector, just that sector alone, guys, over the last seven days, the past week, busted 25 different human

smuggling operations arresting more than 10 migrants. in the del rio sector we were in last week for seven days we had 11,000 encounters. texas governor greg abbott told me things are literally out of control. >> literally has never been worse, it has never been worse because the numbers are higher than they ever been. the problems, and challenges are mounting on the other side of the border. worst of all wee not seeing the president to lift a finger to do anything about it. like we're and some abandoned outpost here. president abandoned many of the states, all of the border states of nights united states of america is reap pre hensable. reporter: after the worst deaths in history. 45 migrants dead in swelter trailer. abbott blaming the president biden he'sen failure to support border patrol. >> because biden made it clear to the world the border is open, led to record number of people,

sheer number is so extraordinary. to add to that, to make it even worse, the united states is underfunding border patrol and not providing enough border patrol officers to do the job. reporter: how many border wide migrants deaths have we had this year? cbp doesn't publicly reported the number since biden took office. fox news exclusively learned you see here, 518 in 2022 fiscal year so far. 566 last year. 247 in 2020, the last time they publicly reported it. my question today, for our colleague at cbs, margaret brennan, anchor of "face the nation." she has interview with secretary mayorkas. we'll ask him why he does not want to report the number of migrant deaths to the american people. pete, will, rachel. pete: great point, griff. rachel: put the numbers back up, this flies in the face of the

compassion argument that democrats have about our immigration policy under trump. look at that, double the deaths. those people in the trailer, who passed away, let's not mince words about it, they were cooked alive in those trucks. this stuff is happening all the time. they're also dying along the desert. children are being abandoned, sexually assaulted. children thrown over walls. this is the least compassionate policy they have seen in the border. ought to be held accountable. pete: they say, we'll stop giving you the numbers. it is so bad, stop giving you the numbers. it is consolidation of a bureaucracy should be ashamed of itself, reporting those, demanding policymakers give them tools to do something about it. someone in washington, d.c. says stay out of news. rachel: they don't care about the gas prices. they have a policy objective. they don't care about the deaths of tease people, suffering, abandonment of people governor abbott talked about. they have a policy objective.

they will follow through. will: griff jenkins will ask about it later today. when he has interaction. you saw our kids train or attempt to train to be cadets. but what do real cadets go through on a daily basis? something more than what you're seeing on your screen right now. lieutenant colonel adam sawyer is here and he joins us live next. ♪ get a 10% off rebate with the purchase of 4 or more eligible samsung appliances at lowe's. like the samsung bespoke refrigerator with customizable and changeable door panels. this 4th of july find the color that fits your style. is this where your grandparents cut a rug with a jitterbug?

information they need on their specific training event or all the time they want to plan but they have to lead. they have to make decisions. >> it is so interesting we talked in the break, what is the harder? no, leadership component is hardest. why is that so important? we know these will be future leaders. >> warfare continues to get more complex. we give the cadets, basic things they need, military skills, tactics they need. but what we try to do, emerse them in an environment that replicates current and future warfare. for example, we use drones like you see in ukraine. but at the end of the day no matter how much or how complex warfare is the difference maker is the leadership cadets are provided. our focus on summer training developing them as leaders. >> i met some of the cadets during the weekend. i have to tell you, this is the cream of the crop in america. i've been so impressed with the

[applause] that is the west point band playing "god bless america" live here on "fox & friends" as we're coming to you from the united states military the academy at west point. happy independence day weekend, one day before the fourth of july, and we're doing it in style, in fashion right here at west point. rachel: yeah. this is a pretty amazing sight,

and it has been a whirlwind weekend. torrential rains, and i've learned so much about your beloved army. pete: yes. it is the world's premier leadership institution here at west point. sometimes we miss that. yes, it's a college, yes, they're going to be second lieutenants, but they're traines something you can be trained to do to. you have to understand how to be leaders to other men and women especially in the crucible of combat. nobody does it better. and they gave us phenomenal backdrop which -- and the cadets are in their second, maybe third uniform of the day already as you see them marching on the field. they've been doing physical training, p, all morning. weave heard them calling -- we've herald them calling cadence, now they're probably headed to the chow hall, the dining hall. business continues here at west point on this most sacred of weekends in the united states of

america, our independence day. rachel: and many of these young men and women will be heading to the chapel shortly after our show is over as well. will, i see, i have a lot of hope for america. i watched your children and pete's children also get trained here at west point, also have a renewed hope for america as i see, you know, just how prepared these kids were. they really -- i think this is going to be good. pete: correction, you saw hope with the cadets that were here last night, not our kids. rachel: oh, yeah, yeah, both. can we air that again? well worth watching. will: if you saw hope in that segment -- [laughter] you have turned into an optimist, because that right there was a travesty. rachel: it was amazing. it's best segment we've done on "fox & friends." it's airing again in an hour. will: as opposed to a normal college where you do the

majority of your learning inside of a classroom, the place where leadership is formed is out in the woods, in the trials and the resilience and the failures of what goes on here at west point. it's how you forge over time a leadership, a leader itself to guide this country forward. we're going to need that optimism and leadership because we are many a very, very divisive time. you can hearken back to former president ronald reagan. in 1986 here in new york at new york harbor giving a speech where he talked about the future, at that time, dangers to america. he said they would not come from outside of america, but they would come from within. listen. >> all through our history our presidents and leaders have spoken of national unity and warned us hat real obstacle -- that the real obstacle to the boundaries of freedom, the only permanent danger comes from within. it's easy enough to dismiss things as a kind of familiar

ex40ation -- exhortation, yet the truth is if even two of our founding fathers once learned this lesson late in life. they worked so closely together in philadelphia for if independence that once that was gained and a government was formed, manager called partisan politics began to get in the way. rachel: but that's not the end of the story. he's right, they did work together to, you know, start our country, the formation of our country. and then partisan politics did make them enemies. and then there were these remarkable letters that they taliban to exchange that we now also know about. and there was this brotherhood, and i think that's the lesson in that speech. in the end, that brotherhood, that coming together of americans is what we need to aspire to and not let political divisions separate us. pete: now more than ever.

partisanship is inevitable, but we want to believe we can agree on one thing, hey, we're all proud to be an american. now, if you turn the channel right now -- i suggest you don'r about all the problems in our nation told, who's to blame for it. here we're doing an unabashed celebration of that brave declaration and the generations of men and women who stood up against enemies foreign and domestic to preserve our'sal republic. there's an immense about to be proud of. fox news digital just went out and asked americans, are you proud to be an american in here's a portion of what they said. [laughter] >> why not? what do you mean? yes, i am proud to be an american, and i'm proud to be an american because there's nowhere else in the world like this. >> i'd say, for sure. it's a place where we can live freely, you know, no matter color, race, you know, who we're married to. it's somewhere we can live free and raise a family. >> i'm very proud of this

country, but more recently i've been very disappointed, and i kind of in some ways feel hopeless. >> i love the country, i love the freedoms that a we have, and i love that we can have differences and, hopefully, come together with those differences. will: you hear from your fellow americans there. we're going to get back together with john adams and thomas jefferson. we talked about this earlier in the show, partisanship is inevitable. disagreement is inevitable. but you hope there's foundational bonds, principles that we can still rally around and unite us. and we're going to need, as we mentioned, leadership, the optimism you just heard there and that you gave voice to just a moment ago, rachel, and i would suggest to you the person who's going to join us now is a reason for that. pete: let's bring in our friend, retired staff sergeant david bellavia. folks know you today because

donald trump, rightfully, put the medal of honor around your neck. i've known you for going with on 15 years now. you're a truth-teller, a patriot. when you look at the moment we're in right now, partisanship, divide, indictment of america, are we 1776 or 1619, how do you view the state of america right now on this fourth of july? >> when i heard rachel just before we -- i came on, that's the blood that's flowing, the goose bumps. this is america. right? if i mean, you've got -- you've got to understand that when i was wearing a flag on my shoulder, the pride i had in defending my country at the time of war, but the way foreign people many iraq and afghanistan see that flag and what it represents, it's a sign of good. it's a sign of decency, you know? i remember going into a house and searching for bomb-making material and weapons in a time of war, and local nationals surprised that we were taking an inventory because americans don't steal your stuff.

if we bring it back. if you don't have bomb-making material the, you get your stuff back. that's the promise we make. that's the decency in which we conduct ourselves. that's hope, and you can't, you cannot if be pessimistic about where our country is going and what our country represents when you see men and women willing to bleed and die for this experiment. will: we've talked about in this, david, throughout the morning, that we need to have certain principles that we can all rally around. i heard you earlier on the show talking to pete, and you said something opened my ears and eyes, you were optimistic about the next generation. there's a lot of reasons that people look and say are we -- the future generation, in the present tense, are we losing those values? but you're an optimist. >> i've seen it parishand, these young men and -- firsthand, these young men and women, no matter what you look like, we're ready to avenge the blood we've

lost, right? people are watching america on our birthday and thinking, well, america's back in the game. look how strong we are. our enemies are watching us too. china, russia, isis and al-qaeda, and everyone's looking, you know, america -- maybe the divisiveness won't make us go out there and is push the fight, maybe we won't stand for the principles we used to stand for. young people have every reason in the world to stay away from institutions like the united states army, and yet we're doing it over and over and over again because of that promise, that promise of, you know, we don't treat people with dignity and respect in the army because it's good for instagram likes. we do it because it's what we're supposed to do. it's who we are. this is who we are. and that's why i have swagger everywhere i go. all i've got to do is hear that cadence and that road march, know there are soldiers out there that are going to keep us safe because not only are we going to be the okay going

forward, our children are going to realize that it's their responsibility too, that part of this american experiment is keep us safe and defend us. rachel: so much hope, i have felt more hopeful. will often accuses me of being a bit of a pessimist about our future, but i have been more hopeful. i'm also remembering as we talk about ronald reagan and what a time that was for america. this idea we go from the '70s and the malaise and the questioning of our strength, and then we have this new day in america with ronald reagan. ronald reagan told this amazing story of, you know, these sailors who were on a ship and they saw one of these -- i don't know if it was a cambodian man who was on a smaller ship, and he was wanting to be rescued, he was escaping communism. and when he talked to the soldiers, he said, hey, freedom man, freedom man. what that's -- that's who we are. even though we're fighting and squabbling right now, the rest

of the world understands that we have something special or else they wouldn't be putting themselves in great danger to come here. nobody is lining up to go to mexico, cuba, venezuela or any of these other countries. they're all trying to come here. >> it's a beautiful thing to be a part of. also, you know, we spent so long trying to get rid of baby boomers out of the military many our culture. you guys have had your time, we're ready for the next generation, yet we're really repeating a lot of the challenges boomers had. especially with communism, you talk about reagan, we're right back to china and russia, and this generation is going to deliver us from that, and it's a beautiful thing -- pete: interesting, because they may be most directly confronted with the manifestation of these ideas, either external threats or even internally as things like marxism become popular in different circles. you think being exposed to it could lead them to rejecting it. >> my granddad's 102 normandy

veteran, still with us. god bless my grand dad. this generation living today is going to be america's greatest living generation. by the way, they called us couch potatoes, right? we were couch potatoes and -- a lot of us were before the towers fell. this generation's going to to be tested too, and they're going to do what every generation has done before: will: we've got to go, what did your grandfather say to you when you won the medal of honor? if. >> he wasn't impressed at all, he thought his was better. [laughter] rachel: i love it! such an honor to have you on. >> thank you very much. will: all right. i believe abby hornacek is in boston -- [inaudible] that city plays a role today. it played a role in america's history, and it's playing a role today in our celebration of independence. pete: yeah. let's head back down there where abby hornacek got a first look

at the boston tea party ship and i museum. abby. >> reporter: yeah, guys, that's exactly right. we keep talking about the importance of boston to our nation's history, and part of that was the boston tea party. so i took you back in time to december of 1773 to show you why that was such a notable moment many history. take a look. ♪ ♪ >> reporter: we are at the boston tea party ship and museum where just a few yards away something pretty significant happened. so let's go find someone to show me around, shall we? ♪ >> reporter: you seem like the guy to talk to just about the overall history and more about the museum. what was the the role of the boston tea party that eventually led to our independence? >> sure. so we look at the boston tea party as the single most

important event leading up to the american revolution. it was the catalyst. it's what propelled america down the road to revolution and led to the nation we know today. punishment of boston and england's response to the tea destruction that really propelled america down the road to revolution. >> reporter: we're many abigail's tearoom. these were some of the teas that were actually destroyed during the boston tea party, so i'm glad you guys saved one. >> there were five different types of teas destroyed, three black teas and two green teas. this one is tyson. this was the most expensive one in the american colonies and also a favorite of george washington and thomas jefferson. let's go down and learn how it got here. >> reporter: the my malley. finale. >> all right. ♪ ♪ >> we welcome you aboard, i hope you are well prepared for knowing what lies aboard this vessel.

[inaudible] >> reporter: yay! [inaudible conversations] >> of course, of course. >> reporter: guys, i was so surprised to hearn that some of those crates weighed up to 400 pounds. so here i am that it took the colonists 45 minutes to do all

this. no, it took them up to 3 hours but, of course, they didn't have the "fox & friends" weekend team helping them out. i think you guys could have done it in 30 seconds -- 30 minutes. 30 seconds would be very fast. 30 minutes flat. will: there you go. rachel: abby, we are not going to leapt you be the only one throw out tea. i demanded tea as i was watching your segment, so here we're going to do it. ready? any ideas? will: you got a bucket or over the shoulders? pete: go like that. will: i knew that wasn't going to work!

parachutes in and lands right there at the 50-yard line and brings in the ball for the game, one of the traditions for west point. all right. obviously, people thinking, hey, i want to get outside this weekend, barbecues and beach, yesterday we had so many storms. take a look at the weather maps, there's a front that moved through that brought a lot of weather yesterday across parts of the northeast, that's going to continue to pull offshore. mid-atlantic dealing with a lot of rain and showers, and part of that is what was briefly tropical storm colin. you look at the moisture across the carolina coastline, certainly breezy and definitely rip currents. i'd suggest you stay out of the water. all the warnings and watches across the carolina coastline, those are gone. a lot of rain across the northern tier tomorrow, aside from that, scattered showers in the southeast and the rest of the country looking really nice. will, toss it back to you. will: all right.

i've got the head football coach here at west point right here on set. it is jeff munkin who joins us live. good to see you, coach. >> glad to be here. will: i've got my two sons running around out here somewhere, and they're both into sports like a lot of young guys. they said, so does everybody who plays sports here, do they have to do all the army stuff as well? yeah, they all haved to do to it. coming to the army to be a football player, different than being a football player anywhere else. >> it is different, but i think the uniqueness and just the opportunity for our guys to have a different experience is something that enhances that experience. and in certain ways, it gives us an edge, and we use it to our advantage. this is a great place, incredible place. our guys come here not just to be the football players, but to get a world class degree and eventually serve our nation as

army officers. they're excited about that as well. will: i love college football. i love keeping up with recruiting. so when you're looking for guys that you want to recruit to come play for army, you're probably looking for a different kind of guy than is looking to play at the university of texas or anywhere else. >> you'd be surprised how similar the recruiting is. we're looking for guys that can help us compete at this level, for sure, but they've got to have other things going for them that may not be typical with every single prospect which is an incredible academic curriculum that they've taken into high school; great grades, test scores. and then the service piece, just the spirit to serve, just the opportunity to be in the united states army and serve as an officer, heavy kind of got to be open to that, at least to listen to it. not every young man, not every young woman in america is, but

i'm glad for ours, and every student we've got here, every cadet has made that pledge to serve. they made that pledge to serve our nation, and it's what makes us incred by proud to be hereful. will: i've got to ask you out of my own personal curiosity. you've been head coach, you're going into your ninth season. army runs the ball. why? it predates you being head coach. when i think of army football, i think of running the ball. >> all three academies, we compete against each other, and we look very similar. we all run the option, we all run a very similar defensive scheme, and i think that's because of the kinds of young men this that we have in our program. it's a great offense. there's a lot of great offenses out there. it's the right offense for us. it fits who we can recruit, and it really helps us play a style of football where we can control the ball, keep it away from our opponents which, i think, is important. we can give a very talentedded

football team fewer opportunities with the ball, i think it gives us a better chance to win. will: so really quickly, you said all three service academies run the option. you've been on both sides of the rivalry when it comes to army and navy. what's the one thing that maybe somebody at navy doesn't know about army or vice versa? >> well, i wouldn't tell them anything they don't know about us. [laughter] i feel like i know a little bit about them having been there, but those six years is the only blemish on my resumé. i'm glad to be here on this side of the rivalry. will: only blemish, five, six years at navy but now here. >> thanks a lot, i appreciate being here. beat navy. will wl coming up, our fight for independence lives in new york city. we're going inside bronx's tavern, aka george washington's headquarters during the revolutionary war. but with first, rick goes long on the west point field. you've got to run the ball, rick. run the ball, rick. ♪

it's the 9:00 a.m. hour the east coast at the united states military academy at west point, july 3rd, year of our lord, 2022. on behalf of will and rachel, we want to thank you for sharing the weekend with us. what a special weekend it has been. i like to say and i mean it, every weekend is the 4th of july on "fox & friends" and "fox & friends weekend." but it's more special when it actually is july 3rd. thanks for joining us, fourth hour. "fox & friends," great to see you. rachel: great to see all of you. you're right, this is the most patriotic show on television, always is, not just on the 4th of july. what did you think about that lab jumping in. i thought about you when i saw the dog. >> we had a conversation about the most patriotic dog. rachel said chihuahua. rachel: that was perhaps the most unpatriotic thing i ever

said on the show. >> i nominated the black lab. rachel: he said it was very mexican. >> i think it's the official dog of mexico. look at what's flying over our shoulder, that's a lakota helicopter flying right over our set. did you see the pilot look down and give us the wave. rachel: he did. he saw us. he noted where we were. that's why we're here at west point. >> that's right. that's a lakota helicopter being flown by west point second aviation flight chief warrant officer 5, joel rolan. he gave us the wave. he's retiring next year with over 36 years of service and 8,000 hours of flight time. >> i think knows what he's doing. rachel: he absolutely does. >> appreciate your service. appreciate the flyover on fox "fox &friends." we've had a monsoon last night that came down through the roof of the set. we celebrated last night with an

independence day special, fireworks display right here at west point and you can be part of that. it will air tonight on the fox news channel at 10:00 p.m. eastern time. it's a great way to start off your 4th of july. as you head into tomorrow, start it with us tonight on the fox news channel for an independence day celebration. >> that's not what the show looked like. it's what the set looked like 20 minutes the show started. we turned the lights on and we held a bunch of interviews and fireworks went off without a hitch. big compliment to west point. that's the same helicopter landing on the parade field where in a moment you're going to see our kids on that very same field attempting to train to be west point cadets and see that perfect landing right there. that's the exact opposite of the performance our kids gave on that field yesterday. it was anything but perfect rz .rachel: you are in for a trea.

this is the favorite fox and friend segment you're going to seem it's the cains and hegseth kids getting trained by west point -- what do you call the -- >> cadets. rachel: they're the cadets that actually train the cadets. >> they're the cadet leadership. i believe -- i believe it's first seat is when you're a senior and for all my west point guys out there, i apologize, i should know that. but it was cadet captains, both of them were, i believe, which means they're in charge of training and that leadership component of west point, at the beginning they shave your head and you don't know how to march. by the time you're a senior you're leading the training of the new guys and will, as you pointed out, not just marching around the be parade field, it's out in the woods learning infantry tactics and learning how to use artillery and every aspect because we're a combined armed force at this point and west point is that trainings facility. >> what you have on the television screen is a buttoned

down operation. what you're seeing is a finely tuned machine, landing the helicopter on the parade field. the recruits we gave them yesterday had neither had their heads shaved, mine hadn't just yet, and it was not a buttoned down operation. rachel: they were adorable. does that count? >> i'm going to leave it to the audience. take a look. >> >> here we are on the be parade field 59 west point. we're about to get a lesson in how to train youngsters. you're training the new cadets that are coming in. you're aboutto deal with our ki. >> whatever struggle you had in the past, multiply that by 10. could you help us whip them into shape, maybe future cadets. >> i think i believe we can. >> we've got charlie, 14, wes,

age 11, gunner, age 12, jackson, age 11, boon, age 10, luke, age 7, rex, age 6, wendell, age 4. she's the left hand salute. we're going to work on that one. >> there's a lot of work to do. >> use your right arm. >> we're going to get from shortest totallest. familiar in. let's go quickly. >> let's go! >> when i say right face, you're going to turn to your right. >> watch me. ready. right face. left face. about face. [laughter] >> looks like they're dancing. >> what's going on here. some of you facing that way, some of you facing this way. >> can you march this motley crew. >> forward, march. left, left, left right. >> no smiling while you march.

>> no smiling. >> i'm not marching. >> should we take it from here, major hegseth and colonel cain. you're in our world now. i watched tampa netic display --watched that pathetic displ. i know will feels the same way. you do physical training. >> yes, sir. >> you cheer now. you'll see. >> wipe that smile off your face. >> yes, sir. >> three, four. >> that is pathetic! this this is not yoga. >> yes, it is. >> come on, rex and luke, you're in soldier gear. wes, what is that? down. >> one knee down. >> down. charlie, come on. gwen, let's go. >> 10 points for first, zero for second. ready, set, go. >> go, go, go, go, go. it's okay. it's okay.

>> no, it's not. >> we need a medic! >> i guess there is crying in the army. is there anything else these guys need to know? >> there's one big important thing they must know. >> go army. >> well done. >> did you get that? >> what is navy? >> oh, man. thank you for indulging. indulging ended intears. >> back to a buttoned down operation, what you're about to see is paratroopers ready to take off and i believe dive right behind us. >> is that what you're hearing. >> we saw it yesterday, yesterday on the show. rachel: that is true. >> we had paratroopers dive behind us. >> and they landed on the parade field. >> true professionals in contrast with gwen who said what's navy at the end of the package. >> go army, beat navy. >> what's navy. rachel: that's definitely training by pete there.

notice different parenting, you're the softy, will, for sure. i noticed that on the thing. you're a little tougher. i also love that you tried to take a smile off of the child ' child who never stopped smiling, gweny, the whole thing was -- sorry, that's the most adorable "fox & friends" package i've seen. >> why do you get to smile and i don't get to smile. >> i'm not marching, soldier. >> it was good stuff. thank you to those cadets. cadet lieutenants we should correct ourselves on that, who led that. rachel: i feel opt misting about the future, -- optimistic, about the future seeing that. >> the paratroopers, some of them are cadets themselves, going into or coming out of their senior year. they've done enough jumps, you have to do at least 250 jump toss be qualified to do this, jump into a stadium, they've met the qualifications and they're barely able to buy a beer. rachel: look at them, taking

off here. >> this could take some time to climb to altitude. i don't know if we'll be able to vamp the entire time. we'll keep our eye on that as they take off over our soldier. >> you'll see them flying right behind us. look at that. rachel: they just waved. >> that's pretty cool. rachel: they were waving. they were waving. >> close enough to feel the breeze. >> and the leaves off the trees fly on the set. rachel: that was amazing. >> that flew right across here in the sky. that's america on the 4th of july. and those are the people the that defend it on behalf of the rest of us and they've done it for 250 years, all the way to george washington who designated this the most strategically significant of the revolutionary war so they built a fort here and thomas jefferson said we

need to build a military academy because we can't he rely on foreign engineers to build our fortifications. the french are nice but they can't be here in a pinch. west point is always focused on engineering to this day. >> we'll keep an eye on that helicopter and the paratroopers throughout the show. now to this. joe biden put out a tweet that caught the atension of state media in china. in fact, didn't just catch the attention but caught an endorsement. here's what president biden had to say. he said my message to companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is sill perm, this is a time of war and global peril, bring down the price you're charging to reflect the cost you're paying for the product and do it now. the president giving a directive oil and gas companies on what you should be paying at the pump. that got the attention of the chinese communist party. rachel: of course it did. that shows a lack of understanding about supply and demand and the way our capitalist system works but also it sounds a lot like these

dictators in south america. >> a lot like them. rachel: it sounds a lot like the chinese. here's what the state affiliated media in china had to say about this, about joe biden's tweet. it says now u.s. president finally realized that capitalism is all about exploitation. he didn't believe this before. i love that last line, he didn't believe this before. even they are noticing the shift, this radicalism that's a happen aing here in america when it comes to our capitalist system, the institutions that -- and the ideas of who we are as a nation. >> absolutely. you mentioned it earlier, from elon musk to joe rogan to the late night's bill marr, a multitude of people getting a red pill or portion of a red pill and one of those is jeff bezos, no friend of the conservative or republican

movement. even he chimed in and has increasingly recent throw what joe biden said with this on twitter, he said ouch, inflation is too much of an. problem for thewhite house to ms like this. it's a misunderstanding of basic market dynamics. the price of oil is up around the world. it's reflected in the prices. it's because of the policies this administration has taken and they're also just wanting to pretend you can on high and say lower your prices right now, we tell you from 1600 pennsylvania avenue. >> i think it probably is some of both but as pointed out by the chinese communist party it's more likely misdirection. it wasn't always joe biden's position to misunderstand capital markets to this extent and so far we've seen the transition from blaming oil and gas prices on putin to now blaming it on oil and gas companies would are artificially

inflating prices in his insinuation. it's some of both. but i think jeff bezos can say this is purposeful misdirection on where the responsibility lies. rachel: no one's fooled by it. they tried to do this before. big meat is responsible for why prices at the -- we talked about big butter. there's lots of scapegoats. >> big butter. rachel: yeah, big butter. [laughter] rachel: butter's up. if you go along -- he didn't actually say that, for the record. but butter prices are up. i sure he would go after that. anything he can do to deflect from the fact that this is purposeful. this is a green policy that aoc and that entire crowd wants. this is the transition he admitted to that he wants. they're willing to impoverish you and you're seeing the poll numbers drop, even in areas where they were winning by 10,

20 points and now they're losing so they have to deflect and hope that -- it's like a hail mary pass and hope it works. >> they're going to hail mary pass on january 6th. they're do fear mongering on roe v wade. that's their strategy. otherwise, people are looking at what they're paling at the pump and -- paying at at the pump and foreign wars going side ways and the climate reality, the religion that they follow to blinds them from doing what they could do to change those dynamics. rachel: it's frustrating for americans that are struggling to put food on the table to know that people in charge know what's causing it and they refuse to it. >> probably more demoralizing. >> all right. 16 minutes after the top of the hour. we have a big part of the show left. we'll turn to headlines beginning with a fox news alert. two people are dead and three police officers are injured after a shooting near fort worth, texas yesterday. the gunman killed a woman inside a home and a man in the driveway, ankle deerly womans

was also -- an elderly woman was shot inside the home she is expected to sur. the gunman was found dead a half mile away from the original crime scene. all three officers' injuries are not expected to be life threatening. to a fox weather alert. tropical storm collin bringing strong and sustained twoindz the south carolina coast, those winds reaching a maximum of 40 miles an hour. the storm disrupting numerous 4th of july events from myrtle beach up to the coast of north carolina with warnings of localized flooding. collin is expected to dissipate over the western atlantic by monday. and earlier in the show we talked about our appreciation for patriotic parades 6789 at at least rachel and i talked about that too. taking place across the country too. will gave his hot take of the day, saying the great american tradition is over rated.

>> this will be good. >> i know it's controversy. rachel: you're with me on that. >> many said i was wrong on that. i have taken an informal poll, including several hegseth children last night, are parades overrated. i have to say i'm the voice of america. rachel: we should take a poll about whether or not will is sufficiently patriotic since he won't support american parades. >> these are your headlines. we asked dark- [laughter] howie: --[laughter] >> i'm sorry, the voice of the people have spoken. they think parades are fantastic. >> look at the question. >> i wanted to play a role in shaping the question. >> 94% say parades are a great symbol of patriotism. 6% agree with will and the communists. rachel: it sounds a little marxist. >> fake news, bad poll.

this is how you end up not knowing what's going to happen in 2016. you asked a bad poll. are parades patriotic. i never said they're not patriotic. i said they're overrated. rachel: what don't you like about it? nobody is super jazzed,i'm goind nobody goes awesome. >> i do. >> you pretend to. >> you do it for the suffering, you want the boredom. >> that's church sometimes they need to deal with the boredom in the back of church. but it's patriotic, there's candy, there's the osmosis of love of country is seeping in. >> we do too many parades. it's not just the 4th of july. the congressman is in town, let's throw a parade. rachel: every town in america loves a parade. >> the halloween parade.

rachel: the 4th of july -- i was hoping that one day we could vote for governor will cain of texas and this parade thing i think is going to be a major issue for you. >> i will win without parades. i will win on the platform that chihuahuas are not the dog of america. rachel: except where there's a lot of mexican americans, try that one, will. >> will and his 6% will hold a parade later. it will be a short one. next he's going to say church every other sunday. rachel: what's the most patriotic dog? >> i'll go with the black labrador. rachel: good choice. >> up next, retired four star general jack keane joins us with his patriotic message, will. rachel: and american freedom starts with parades but also with national security. >> tom homan is here with why america needs to protect our borders, coming up.

♪

rachel: welcome back. a horrifying discovery at the border as agents discover migrants crammed into locked toolboxes inside of a pickup truck at the el paso border crossing. this comes after the worst human smuggling tragedy in u.s. history, 53 migrants left dead after being trapped in a sweltering 18 wheeler last week. here to react, fox news contributor and retired acting i.c.e. director, tom homan. tom, it's always great to have you. what happened last week was horrific. those people were basically cooked alive in that truck. the bodies were too hot for even the officers to touch. it was horrific. but that's not the only thing happening. everything else is happening, the sex trafficking, the child sex tasking, kids throw over walls, children abandoned in the desert and people dying in the

desert in much the same way the people were dying in the truck. how could they cling to the idea that their policies in the biden administration are some act of compassion? >> look, there is compassion in this administration. the only -- there is no compassion in this administration. the only compassion that exists are the men and women in green. they saved 12,000 lives. the incident last week, not only disgusting, it brought back memories i had. i did an investigation on tractor-trailers, i stood in the back of a tractor-trailer with 19 migrants at my feet, 19 migrants including a dead 5-year-old little boy. that affected me forever. that changed me. that's why i fight so hard because a secure border saves lives. president trump was the greatest president i worked for. he secured the border at a level i had never seen before. illegal immigration was down to a 40 low, how many women are not

raped by the cartels, how many americans are not dying from drug overdoses because the fentanyl's not coming across the border. i.c.e. has been decapitated. they can't remove anybody. the most vulnerable people in the world will put their hands s in the hands of criminal cartels. you'll see a record number of deaths. since joe biden became before more than 750 migrants died on u.s. soil and you don't hear a word from aoc. rachel: i remember a so. c crying at the wall. she hasn't been back there since. so the data bears this out. let's -- do we have the numbers up that we can put up again. they're also trying to hide some of these numbers. i don't know what the numbers that we saw which are double the amount of deaths we saw under trump for illegal migrants coming into the country, are we getting the actual figures? they're not giving the numbers. >> they said they would be

transparent. every time the secretary gets on tv, he's lying. if his lips are moving, he's lying. to this day he tells the american people the border is secure and it's closed. you've got over 800,000 got-aways. who were they? where are they? they arrested 50 people on the terrorist screening database. how many came to this country to do us hard. there's historic illegal immigration, number of migrant deaths, 750 right now. a record for how many americans have died from drug overdoses, 112,000. the administration set record after record after record, all bad records. they haven't done a damn thing to slow the flow. the secretary isn't say one thing he's done to slow the flow. remain in mexico, title 42 they're trying to shut them down. the two things that worked they're trying to kill. rachel: the legacy of this policy is death, death for migrants, death for americans

and the media is responsible too because outside of this network no one is holding anyone accountable and no one is going back to the people that claimed that the policies were compassionate and showing them data and having them account for it, speak to it and own it. tom, we appreciate your voice on this issue. you're giving some good information. we appreciate you coming on the show. >> thanks for having me. rachel: happy 4th of july. >> happy 4th of july. rachel: abby hornacek is checking out celebrations across the country including a classic car showcase at harbor fest, coming up. ♪ all right now. ♪ baby, it's all right now. ♪ from prom dresses to workouts and new adventures you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b.

>> welcome back to "fox & friends" on this 4th of july weekend. it's so great to have you with us, july 3rd. we're here at the beautiful campus at west point, the united

states military academy. on weekends like this we like to hear from our good friends who have great insights. one of those is general jack keane, fox news strategic analyst. places like this get you dwelling on where we are as a nation. what are your thoughts as we move into 4th of july 2022. >> let me start out congratulating the "fox & friends" team for picking west point as the place to celebrate the 4th of july. you couldn't have picked a better place in america to do that. the greatness of america and its history is tied to the history of west point. west point is an indispensable institution that contributed to our success. when i think about this day, celebrating our birthday, it always starts with a feeling of humility because i feel fortunate and blessed to be an american. and we had to fight for this

freedom as you know. you're right at the place where an important part of that fight started. we had to remove the shackles of oppression and the genius of our founding fathers, pete, as you have spoken about on the show, i mean, in creating a federal government where they limit its power and gave the people more power than had ever been seen in any country on the planet at that time. and that led us to become an exceptional nation and i think we became one for three reasons. one, merit ocracy. you can succeed based on your capabilities, not other factors, the conditions are there for that. we opened our arms to other countries in the world to come to america and that became a catalyst for our growth and productivity. and we're the most diverse nation in the world and a sense of tolerance and respect for others, we're not perfect,

certainly, but it is by far sets a bar for other countries. and lastly, and most dramatically, our country, the american people in the 20th century and part of the 21st century, we've been willing to fight for other people's freedom around the world in distant places, some places some of our soldiers never heard the names of and we were willing to sacrifice that treasure for other people to live and enjoy the experience that we have. the most generous nation on earth by far. american leadership and the american people have been indispensable in my view for helping the world to be a much better place. >> so well said. what a reminder, general. thank you for that. we live in a moment where it feels like a lot of people want to lead with the indictments or the mistakes or the sins of america and no country is perfect, no people are perfect. what is your message to those people that want to say america's not all that a special

right now? >> well, we certainly have serious political and social divisions in our country, probably the most serious in my lifetime but we've been here before. we had ideological and serious social differences in the 1860s and led to regrettably a civil war and we recovered from that. listen, there are very loud voices on the extremes of our political spectrum, on both sides. and those voices get listened to maybe more than in the past because of the access to the internet and social media but the vast majority of the american people, pete, you know, they're in between all of that. and i have great faith in them. i'm optimistic about going forward because the american people apply correctly the mechanisms because the founding fathers gave them the power to do that. look at how the parents of our children are correcting the education of their own children by pushing back on

out-of-control school boards and out-of-control unions which were taking the education of our children in a different direction. we elect leaders also to provide a correcting mechanism if things start to move in the wrong direction. my faith is in the american people and they're going to keep us on the right path. >> boy, is that great to hear, general. thank you so much, not to mention the supreme court, one of three co-equal branches asserting itself in the last couple of weeks as well. happy 4th of july, general. thank you for all you've done and continue to do. we appreciate it. thank you, general. all right, well, you may have noticed we've got a bit of an interesting location here for all the right reasons. you see my co-hosts and i, will cain and i, we do a segment called off the wall, normally in studio m in new york city. thanks to will cain, we're doing a real thing off a real wall. why is that. >> i was jogging around the

beautiful campus and i happened upon this place, constitution corner. and there's something about the five plaques we're about to introduce you to, off the wall, that feel like meets the time and explains honestly not just a core to the united states military, but to the united states of america itself. this is constitution corner. wherein pete to start with cadets that entered the military academy take an oath to the constitution. >> they do. you get new cadets, the last of 2026 from almost every single, if not every single congressional district across america. they're a cross section of the country. they say they will support the constitution of the united states and bear true allegiance to the national government, that i will maintain and defend the sovereignty of the united states, paramount to any and all alee jens that you might have to a state or a county. you see, they're coming from different states and different places. here at west point their

aleigence is around the country and the constitution. >> here is the oath. the oath is that i will support and defend the constitution of the united states. let's move here to the selectionses from the constitution that west point choose toss highlight from articles 1, 2 and 5 all about the executive power, the responsibility, militarily, to defend the principles of the constitution. pete, the important thing here is at every point they are emphasizing the principles are what bring this country together. and that's what these men are pledging. >> provide for the common defense. it lays out what the constitution give roles to different branches of the federal government, article 1, article 2, as well as always there at the bottom line, support this constitution.

it does ultimately come back to powers given to the government and also the principles underwriting all of this. >> this is a corner that i felt like meets the moment. there's so many questions about whether or not the constitution is now antiquated. there's questions about our foundation. not when you're here. this is the preamble to the constitution of the united states and pete, i knew you would like this. it afirms again the principles in the declaration of independence. >> there's been an effort to decouple the declaration of independence from the constitution many if you can just be the constitution, you can make it be whatever principles you want. if you couple it with the declaration which makes assertions about where our rights come from, it becomes a different document. on this plaque, the constitution conforms to the principle in the declaration of independence,

governments are institutedded among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. it's an important principle, untethered, they're very different documents. connected, they connect you and i today at this point to that bold declaration of where our freedoms come from. >> this is my favorite plaque, the one that got my attention. i want you to step around this tree without falling down. this is the loyalty to the constitution. we are literally off the wall right now. this is the final one. had this is the loyalty to the constitution. the front line, the top line is my favorite, the yaiforts boldly broke -- the united states boldly broke with swearing loyalty to a leader, article 6 required that american officers thereafter swear loyalty to our basic law, the constitution. this is the bull's-eye. this is the foundation. this is the bed rock of the united states of america. >> the constitution of the united states embodying the principles of the declaration of independence are not antequated,

they are the united states of america. >> when you raise your right hand to defend the constitution, that question percolates and by the way, officers must obey the law. when you make decisions, giving orders on the battlefield, in combat, yes, you're considering what your commanding officer is asking you to do but you're always checking it against your duty to the law and constitution as well which makes it different from other armies. that excuse doesn't exist when it would violate our constitutional prerogative. >> that protects every other nation that suffered a military coup, it's what sets us apart. it's who we are. there we are literally off the wall. >> literally off the wall for real. >> i'm glad you do runs. i'm glad you do runs, finds great spots and pretty neat to do this in the shade and the parade field. >> constitution corner. back to our home base to rachel.
