ibly4 good morning, 6:00 eastern time. in new york city, that was a beautiful version of our national and them. it was requested by tracy in grand celine, texas. good morning. a beautiful rendition of pomeranian this underwater, it is better than that. ibly11 first time i have seen american flags underwater. that's what i am talking about. the jones brothers, peter will have the day off. ibly8 i had my music going, the

man in the mirror, bon jovi, i am telling you needed it, we put a couple hours sleep in their. lawrence: there's a lot going on in the country on america's most patriotic show. china is warning the biden administration against nancy pelosi going overseas to visit taiwan. don't care what you think about the biden administration, for them to threaten the third person in line to succession is problematic and this shows you how far the chinese have been able to get away with it, different from the prior administration, clear they are beating their chest. rachel: they feel emboldened.

here's a tweet from the chinese state affiliated, i'm sure i said that wrong. lawrence: if i would have -- rachel: us fighter jets escort pelosi's plane into taiwan, it is invasion, the people's liberation army has the right to destroy the fighter jets and firing warning shots and making tactical movements of obstruction. if ineffective, shoot them down. peter doocy spoke to the press secretary and asked about this threat. >> who was associated with chinese state media suggests speaker pelosi, her plane to be shot down, does the president have a response to that? >> you are asking specifically

about the rhetoric we are hearing from china but as relates to the speaker's travels, something we are not going to speak to. that's a hypothetical. rachel: what really concerns me as much about what china is threatening is tom cotton and former secretary pompeo suggested this leak came from the white house so you have to wonder why would the white house leak the trip from pelosi to taiwan? they don't want her to take the trip but what is behind it? i noticed pompeo said i don't know if it is because he's compromised and he went on, why

would they do that? joe: perhaps this is more than just a threat and the administration wanted to caution everyone. i don't understand what motive they would have to leak it. you asked that question that two times people make threats like this, the very desperate or people who have leverage or think they have leverage. if north korea made this threat i would say they are desperate and trying to make themselves relevant. china making this threat makes me feel they have a point of leverage over us, look at the economy and the military, china has improved, we are in a similar situation as opposed to being big dogs on the block.

we talk about the cold war with the ussr. we've had a hot and cold war with china for 60 years since world war ii. we supported shanghai check --chang hai chek almost 100 years now, the difference today as recent as the independent situation china has always poked, now they are threatening. i don't believe this is the same as two decades ago. lawrence: i cannot go on without addressing the press secretary. what do you mean specifically? address specifically the question peter doocy asked you. this is a constant spin spin spin administration. the suggestion was the alleged leak happened to prevent nancy pelosi to do this trip and

secondly you can have the debate about chinese policy and whether we can be involved. i they part of china? all of that is a healthy debate and both sides fall on different sides of the spectrum. the question, should they still be threatening the third line person in succession over that policy? that is what the american people are frustrated about. mike pompeo has thoughts about the white house reaction. >> dangerous way to think about america's place in the world that some knucklehead chinese, it is party bureaucrat can make a threat on the person third in line for the presidency and change her travel plans, travel to a country she wants to visit is part and parcel of a week foreign policy, and

administration that is scared of its own shadow, 24 hours after the president is on the phone with xi jinping, that suggest the call went poorly, that jinping believes they can move about freely and intimidate us. sign me up, a strange place to be but i'm with nancy on this one. lawrence: he's talking about weakness. rachel: having them threaten nancy pelosi in this way if we did not have afghanistan and ukraine because ukraine, not everyone agrees but i don't think it should have started and very early on president biden showed weakness saying a little incursion and could have been prevented with proper leadership and that incursion and the fact we are still in this war, we are part of this and putin has not been put back

in his place and it continues. china looks at this and that is why this is happening because taiwan is in a similar situation to ukraine. lawrence: as far as china's claim to taiwan it is a point of leverage. that's a concern. rachel: absolutely. you have other news for us. >> reporter: we will start with the back and forth with jon stewart who is blaming republicans for failing to pass the healthcare bill aimed at giving veterans medical aid after being exposed to toxic burn pits. here he is on special report yesterday. >> this is the cost of war. to me --toomey and other senators who voted for trillions to send these men and

women to war and now suddenly sadie is not fiscally responsible to spend the money to pay for the consequences of their service is outrageous. rachel: jesse waters says this is misplaced. >> his heart is in the right place but his blame is misguided. his friends in the democratic party are the ones to blame. schumer is the one playing games and you guys are using each other to make republicans look cold, one change would make sure every taxpayer dollar goes to helping veterans and not bake in $400 billion more inflationary spending and schumer shot it down. rachel: senator pat tommmey wants it to be handled through the appropriations process instead mandatory spending. >> house democrats, senate democrats screwed this up so the house had to pass it and

what he's attempting to do is do something of that should have been done which is to fix the way the bill is funded and makes the bill stronger and more fiscally responsible. >> it comes down to congress hiding behind an important veterans care bill a massive unrelated spending binge. rachel: a vote is scheduled monday to break the gop filibuster. joe: this is an important issue and you know republicans voted for one. $2 trillion in infrastructure or criticizing the republican senators, $2 trillion what they voted for for no problem and $700 million or $70 billion they don't want to give veterans, this puts 3 million

veterans eligible for that but the poison pill, they are terrible at messaging, they should beyond the show all morning begging us to explain this. they should want every advocacy group to understand the difference between discretionary spending and mandatory spending that if you put in mandatory spending it doesn't go to the budget process. it is automatic. the democrats have access to it to spend on any number of things so they would be taking money away from this opportunity but republicans did not get in front of it, voted on it in june and lost the messaging on something that should be nonpartisan. house democrats and the house democrats and the senate democrats trying to make it automatic spending for other money and appropriations. i don't blame the senate republicans but they should have gotten ahead of this, veterans and their advocacy groups believed they were

behind it. rachel: americans are sick of bills that are not about the bills like the inflation reduction bill that is a climate bill. joe: the same with mitch mcconnell gets on the chip act for fiscal responsibility and they need to be the ones explaining that. rachel: your headlines, a quick back man waiting to be sentenced after pleading guilty to smuggling fentanyl to the us from canada. prosecutors say the fentanyl he brought in lead to 15 overdoses including four deaths. he was part of a fentanyl trafficking ring that included chinese and canadian nationals and us residents from florida, north carolina and more, facing a minimum sentence of life in prison. will smith finally apologizing to chris rock for slapping him at the oscars four months

later. >> i was fogged out by that point. it is also in. chris, i apologize to you. my behavior was unacceptable. rachel: rock has expressed he's not ready to talk about the slap yet. are you feeling lucky? you might be if you bought a mega millions ticket on the drawing last night, the third-largest lottery prize in history estimated $1.2 billion. the winning numbers 13, 36, 45, 57, and the gold-medal ball is 14, no word is if there is a big winner yet but if it was you we want to know how you spend the cash. tell us what you would do with all that money, friends@foxnews.com and those are your headlines.

rachel: floodwaters ripped through eastern kentucky. lawrence: max gordon joins us now. incredible scene of devastation. where are you? >> reporter: we rolled into jackson, kentucky, we had a harrowing drive, portions of the road have been eroded away as you drive in here. we are near the north fork of the kentucky river and i want you to look from the fox weather beast at what things are looking like at this hour. there is a lot of mud on the road as the floodwaters start to recede. we have a playset right there that has been tipped over and dragged into the street. incredible power of this water

as it flowed through these neighborhoods. so much damage and destruction. we are hearing stories of survival throughout this flooding event, people rescued from trees, rooftops, stories of loss, the death toll of this flood is expected to rise in the coming weeks, last update from the governor was 16 people dead. that number is unfortunately expected to go up. six children are confirmed among the dead, four from one family alone. we talked to the owner of a flower shop, clearing mud and debris from her flooded store. she told us she would rebuild and reopen but what was most difficult was not being able to be open in her community in time of need. >> one of the things about owning a flower shop is if there is a death we are there and that is heartbreaking to me. we've had several calls from the funeral home, can you do a casket? i can't.

it is very devastating to me to not be able to help families that are hurting worse than i am. joe: heartbreaking hearing folks talk about how much loss they are suffering, there are several shelters open for folks to go to because a lot of people don't have homes anymore. the greatest leaders water and cleaning supplies. there's a fund that has been set up by the state. you can go there to donate on the official site. the governor saying this is one of the worst events in the state's history, one of the worst natural disasters and estimated thousands of people have been impacted. joe: stay safe. to track the latest storms download the fox weather apps. rachel: you don't think about the florists. that is who you call when you have a funeral, someone is in

need. they are there at all these moments, her store is gone, the community suffering so much. joe: she cares about the service she provides, going through this and not knowing what it is costing her, she thinks she can't be there for someone else. it is tragic. it is also for me uplifting, those people still exist and probably in mass but we don't see them all the time. rachel: the greatest country with the greatest people. joe: we are praying for chicago. lawrence: it is the epicenter of the violence happening across the country we've been telling you about it for years. a chicago prosecutor, in kim foxx's office is taking her on. this is his letter, his name is jim murphy, one of the prosecutors in her office, this administration which routinely

claims they have shifted their focus from prosecuting low-level crimes so they can focus their resources on violent crime. that is simply not true. this administration was truly concerned with fighting violent crime they would fully staff their courtrooms and units. the rest of us are overworked, overstressed and under resourced but at least we are allowed to wear jeans in july. this administration is more concerned with political narratives and agendas than victims and prosecuting violent crime. that is why i can't stay any longer. the walls are closing in and in free single city, to have these local das, they signed up to go after the hard criminals on the streets every single day. what they are saying, you have

wokeness, the new style, das should not be wearing jeans in the court room. what happened to the old-school of judges kicking them out if they wore jeans? they are more focused on that and how they look than going into the courtroom and fighting for victims. rachel: there is a total demoralization in law enforcement. is a huge problem. what is worse is what is going to happen next. the current generation of das are still people who want to fight crime but the wokeness has infected law schools and attracting a new type of prosecutor who wants to reimagine justice so moving forward that will be the new das, the new judges. you are seeing dissatisfaction, demoralization, a sign that people are fighting back

against the da in chicago but i'm scared for the future because i don't know if the next generation of das will be on the side of victims as they are now. lawrence: is in a growl and poll fan i hope the pendulum swings both ways. i hope it swings in the right direction. one thing i will say, don't know the judicial system, didn't go to law school, don't know the intricacies of it and there's a lot of relevance. i do know people and i know you don't fix bad habits unless you apply vulnerability to say this person might be a good person committing crimes, hold them accountable if you want a chance at fixing their bad habits. rachel: dan bondgino lived through the broken windows and it worked. you can't reimagine human nature.

lawrence: the argument has been about reform. you have repeat offenders that never turned their life around. people who have been lifelong justice reform advocates are saying you are hurting the cause, this is not like the first step act, people who turn their life around, these are people who are empowered, people committing murder, violent crime, assault, thomistic violence, putting them back on the street with no consequences. all that in chicago, to put ankle monitors on and track them to the scene of the crime. rachel: i was married to a da. i'm a law and order person but when the criminal justice conversation came up i was open to it. i think you will close people down with this control.

lawrence: a lot of people who went to prison and changed their lives, a lot of them didn't go to prison. we still have bad consequences. fox news has reached out to foxx's office but we have no response. rachel: we didn't reach out to our own office but da foxx. it is not -- there's a lot of foxes. still ahead, food fight, 22 states suing the biden administration for a rule that cuts federal school lunch money. of the district doesn't follow certain lgbtq friendly policies, can't believe i read that. our next guest says holding children's lunches hostages is not only illegal but immoral. alabama attorney general steve marshall is next.

kevin: lawrence: 22 states suing the biden administration because it made school lunch funding dependent on whether they have gender identity agenda. our next guest is part of the lawsuit, attorney general steve marshall. thanks for joining the program. free and reduced lunch, why is the biden administration picking this fight, making can suffer because of this policy? >> you used the operative term, we are holding children hostage so this administration can enforce a radical gender identity policy. the fact that alabama passed commonsense laws that say for gender specific sports boys play with boys and girls play with girls, that we don't withdraw that now the children of hard working low income families don't get the

nutrition they need and not only a policy that will impact children directly but it is an example how far this administration is willing to go to appease the left. lawrence: is this coming directly from the white house, you have das, part of the executive branch but is the biden administration getting guidance on this? seems like a stupid fight when parents are already suffering, just in a recession and going to put the health and well-being of their kids to get a free meal when they are struggling, i don't get it. >> nor should you. this falls at the feet of president biden, this administration from the beginning tends to advance a radical agenda and here as you identified appropriately so we are doing it on the backs of children is not only is it a

policy that will impact children in a very adverse way but also one me and my colleagues are willing to fight for. we've seen fights across the spectrum of the gender of this administration but the most egregious example of where this administration is willing to do anything to advance an agenda the majority of americans don't believe in. lawrence: these ads write themselves. every republican should run this ad, it is unacceptable. thank you so much. we reached out to the department of agriculture for statement but haven't heard back. the us economy is in recession and the white house refused to admit it with congress looking at more spending. our next guest warns we are facing a vicious cycle. where is rick? are all americans on the road?

job creation -- >> it is important to note. when it comes to the economy this time we are seeing a transition. after a strong economy a transition to more stable and steady growth. rachel: the biden white house is redefining recession with per secretary karine jean-pierre calling two straight quarters of economic decline a transition but our next guest said it is more like a vicious cycle meaning congress spent us into inflation, inflation tips us into recession, white house redefines recession. here is professor of business and economics at king's college, brian brian berg. talk about this. does it matter if the white house says it is a recession or not when the american people are feeling it as a recession?

>> exactly right. the white house has gone back to the transition language. always going to be a transition because prosperity is on the other side of another trillion dollars in government spending. america knows it is in a recession. we have stagflation. everybody can feel it. the fact the biden administration insists on denying it tells you how desperate they are to find a narrative and they keep leaning on the labor market saying the job market is so good. we haven't even recovered the jobs we lost in the pandemic, real wages are falling. people are getting poorer over the last year and a half. that's a serious deal. a serious administration would acknowledge that. a serious administration would turn around and do something different but they know if they acknowledge we are in a

recession they have to quit spending and their agenda and they will not do that. rachel: the american people are hurting. it is callous they are not acknowledging it but they have a new bill called the inflation reduction act. it has nothing to do with inflation. is so much about climate that al gore's tweeting how amazing the inflation reduction act because it accomplishes all the stuff that he wants, how can they get away with this at this point? it is almost ironic, the climate policies are what is causing the inflation in so many ways with the energy situation. >> reporter: up is down, backwards is forwards, they have to reinvent the language to shoehorn their agenda into this economy. the problem is they like it because this is their ideology,

why they are in office. it is incredibly costly to the american people. energy, lack of energy, cheap abundant fuel is killing this economy, the spending is stoking inflation, this build is the same things, all the things that got us into this this bill is going to do again. it is incredibly destructive, a vicious cycle and the biden administration thinks it can spin its way through this as long as the american people are willing to pay up. they are not interested in paying up. it's going to be a big reckoning for democrats except a lot of the spending is being accommodated by republicans. if you get out of the biden mess, they have some interest in fiscal restraint because

right now they are not doing that. rachel: couldn't agree with you more. always insightful. lawrence: squishy republicans. a couple headlines. on the hook for tax fraud, prosecutors seeking twee 8 years in prison for the shewolf, 24 million fine, refusing to pay $15 million in taxes, violating the rights, a settlement rejected this taking the case to trial and about-face in the west wing, communication director saying she is staying after announcing her departure. yesterday was supposed to be the last day but she told white house staff in a letter she was scrapping her plan to leave

green bay, wisconsin. we exited last hour out of hayward, wisconsin, where i spend summers with my family. rick couldn't get a hotel in our hometown because it's the lumber jack world championships and his hotel was like an hour away. i was like, you can't be an hour away and so he stayed in the bunk house last night. >> of course he did. >> so rick got the full duffy experience. >> all the kids still there? >> yeah, all the kids are there. >> just like home. >> just like home. so he's part of the family, part of the fox and friends family. you guys are ever up north, come on other to the bunk house. >> i would love to. >> you're making the land of cheese sound like the land of milk and honey. >> it really is, in the summer. just the summer. >> they called it guy country and i was like, wait a minute, that's texas. are they in texas. i think both states deserve

that. when something pops off, you want to be in texas though. >> what do you mean? >> anything pops off in the country, texas is always ready to go. >> i just want you to know, i bet in wisconsin, there's as many guns as in texas. >> do you think? >> i do. >> listen, i want to -- the problem about wisconsin is they're all black powdered shotguns and down in texas, it's america's armory. that's where we are. wisconsin is beautiful. i had the opportunity to go there twice in the same year, love it had both times. both times were in the summer though. >> that's when i recommend it. by the way, just really quick before i move on, when i first met sean, he brought me to wisconsin in the summer. i never experienced a wisconsin winter till after we were married. >> are you serious? >> he totally tricked me. >> you're in it now. >> that's smart . there's so much going on in the show but we start at the border. the biden administration authorizes construction of a

portion of the border wall near arizona. breaking the president's 2020 campaign promise not to build another foot, that's what he said, as the white house claims the biden admin is cleaning up trump's mess. so let's go to flashback. this is a secret, guys, they don't want the public to know about this but during the 2020 campaign, joe biden said not an inch. let's go back then. >> president biden is the reporter and chief for deporting 3 million people during the biden/obama administration. trump campaign -- the obama biden administration, trump campaigned on build that wall. are you willing to tear that wall down? >> there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration. >> so that's what he said. he campaigned on -- >> thank you, joe. >> just when you know, when i did go to texas, i saw piles of

wall just rusting. it was really depressing to know that the wall was there, it wasn't going up and we were paying people not to build the wall and then just offered to build the wall and use the pieces and said no, you can't. peter asked about the fact about the fact they're quietly building the wall in arizona. i'll explain on the other side where i think that's happening but here's the question from peter. >> why is the biden administration building a border wall in arizona? >> so we are not -- we are not finishing the wall. we are cleaning up the mess the prior administration left behind in their failed attempt to build a wall. >> by finishing the wall? is this -- >> we are not finishing the wall. we are not finishing: the wall is ineffective use of taxpayer dollars so it's ineffective of taxpayer dollars. dollars that actually went there

from the last administration and the prior president took from the military and took away from schools, took away from military bases. >> the people who say that the wall is not ineffective are the border patrol who are there every day and say we need this wall. the reason why they're building it in arizona is that senator mark kelly is having a tough time in arizona. he would be able to say -- he doesn't want to own the biden administration which heard him say i won't spend another dime on the wall, but i'm willing to patch up the wall a little bit so i can give a talking point to senator mark kelly, who's probably going to lose his senate bid in his coming midterm election. >> you know -- >> not political at all. >> no. well, that's politics, that's dc. we're not finishing the wall. she kept using the word finishing. it's not finishing, she didn't say building.

trump used to say we want to build a wall with big, beautiful gates and peter got to it in that back and forth he said, are you trying to push migrants to entry. is that what you're trying to do? she kept pushing back. why is that a bad thing? why do democrats see having a mechanism in place that forces people to come in correctly if they're asking for asylum or whatever through a port of entry. why is that a bad thing? it's not a bad thing. the problem is if you get i elected telling people what's broken or telling people something is unjust, you have little incentive to actually fix it because it's a lot easier to complain than it is to show your work. so democrats see this as a campaign opportunity, they see it as a way to get people outraged and see it as a way to paint republicans as xenophobic, anti-brown people or what have you and in the meantime, it's the people of all colors of skin on the texas border that are swinging towards republicans because they understand an orderly way to come into the country is the only way to set

those people coming into the country up for success. >> that's such a good point. i have to go back to the white house press secretary because -- >> you're obsessed with her. >> she's become my aoc. >> i'll take aoc, you take her. >> it's just a problem because she says not an inch. you've seen the pallets at the border. one post, is that an inch? number two, it's not fiscally responsible. it's already paid for and you're going to waste the taxpayer's money and when texas tried to buy it, you didn't let texas buy it and taxpayers got the money back from great state of texas, y'all were so petty and kept us from doing that. number three, we know why they're doing it. it's politics. we know the pollicis -- i just think they've missed the problem. when you look at those border areas right there, a lot of minorities that are there, they're democrats but they're

switching over. they have abandoned your party so if you think that you can just use it for thornhill tore the swing election in arizona, you're sadly mistaken. we're going to be having a border conference this wednesday hosted by fox nation me and maria bartiromo are going to texas with all our border heros to talk about this problem. a lot of folks in the audience are going to be hispanic. the border patrol, hispanic. so if you guys think y'all can make this about race and people's background, i just think you're sadly mistaken. honestly, i think it's really racist to suggest just because these people came across the border legally; right, they're going to agree with your policies. i've been warning democrats for a long time about this, rachel. >> yeah, they're going to lose hispanics. there's no question about it because hispanics are feeling it. you say, it's the politics. it's the money too.

there are nonprofits, there are churches, a lot of people are profiting from illegals coming over and then what they do is those organizations go back and lobby the administration, and it is like -- it's just money and it's just turning and turning and turning. it's our money funding this, even though they know that people don't want this. they know that because the hispanic vote they're losing and all the votes they're losing in all the border states. they know the american people -- they know the mayor of dc doesn't want this in her city. this is not good politics but they're doing it anyway, and it's because there's an open boarders policy coming from a lot of nonprofits and a lot of power people p who are influencing our government and our policy. >> the thing republicans have failed to drive home, which is absolutely true is a guy from a town that's a percent hispanic and first generation americans that grew up with me, they saw what their parents, how they had to live as illegal immigrants in this country and they're smart enough to know there has to be a

better way and that's why they're voting for something different. turning from the gop and what the gop has to do is get the policy and word out about not wanting people in our country. this is about bringing people into the american way of life fully. not in the shadows. i think -- >> the biden administration plans to at some point legalize all them. >> well -- >> let's be clear, that's what they want. >> that's the fight, build the wall and talk about policy. trump and pelosi had that deal. pelosi wouldn't let trump have that win and here's where we are. >> it continues with the revolving door. sean smith, the man accused of killing college student in january is awaiting a mental health evaluation and his criminal proceedings have stalled. will da bring legal action against smith till the health check is completed despite his long history of crime and violence. this comes as a leaked autopsy

report shows she was stabbed 26 times including 11 times in the chest. crazy. a fire in philadelphia is leaving a philly cheese steak shop severely damaged. it went up in flames yesterday morning as more than 100 fire fighters were called to help fight the fire for over four hours and the start of the fire reportedly due to hvac system failure. no injury has been reported at this time. fans of jeopardy are threatening to boycott the game show after announcement of two new permanent hosts. malik and ken jennings are set to split the role and some fans aren't sure about one of the hosts. this is a real letdown some

saying, ken is the obvious choice for the host. i clearly messed up his name. >> her name. >> it's a her? >> it's the actress from big bang theory and they don't like her is because she's outspoken. let's move to another topic, which is there was a study by michigan state university that says that one in five adults do not want to have kids. this study is very interesting saying that people are deciding very young and that actually it's not a phase according to this study that when people say they don't want to have kids young, they follow through. a lot of people say that's not the case but according to the study, that's what they say. this is jennifer neil associate professor of the department of sociology and saying people are deciding to be child free early in life most often in teens and

20s and not just young people claiming they don't want children. women who decided in their teens to be child free are now on average nearly in their 40s and most don't have children. what do you make of the study? >> i think it's true mostly. >> oddly enough, i want five kids. i really co. i really do, which led to a conversation with my mother the other day because she was pressing me. >> got to get married first. >> got to get married but i said what about the kids. >> not the right sequence. >> she said, now, didn't i raise you the right way. seriously, my generation has become more a little bit in the sense of everything is about career and the next stages in your life and they really -- they just want to be able to live their life and they realize they saw their parents struggling and all that and they don't want to deal with that. we've become a more -- >> is it selfishness or some of the climate fears?

aoc and others talking. aoc and other people saying it's not -- and even meghan markle and harry said that. >> don't make the decision based on the beautiful gift based on aoc and meghan mark el. i have two kids and they're the most important thing that's ever happened to me and i'd walk through fire in hell and they brought the light back into my life. one thing i think a part of this is there are probably more young women in professional high-demand jobs than ever before and feel like they can't time away and as society, if we're going to promote families and promote motherhood and fatherhood, we need to take that into account in corporate setting and make sure women know whether it's employer, child care, whatever it is, women know they can hold the place they hold in the corporate world and

be tremendous mothers and not feel like they have to make that decision cause that's what i see and hear more than anything are women want to be a mother but feel like they'll have to give away their career to do it. i know that's not the case. nobody should feel that way. >> so i have a lot of women who i speak to all the time and i always say the same thing, i say your company won't love you. they're not going to hold your hand and i've also spoken to a lot of -- >> i get what you're saying. >> you get what i'm saying. and i think that they say it's like the most anti-glorious and feminine thing and for me and the advice i give my own children and women that ask me is i say prioritize your love life. everything else works itself out f. you marry the right person, everything in life works itself out. it's the most important thing. don't mean you don't get an education or pursue your dreams and passion, but it's really easy to really be career focused and only focus on that and all

the sudden you wake up and there's -- life is about love and family. family and children. every feminist in america is going to come for me, but i don't care. i say find the right -- if you find the right guy, flippen marry him. >> rachel, why don't you have a dating show. >> i would love to. >> every time the relationship topic comes up, she has such great advice. >> because i believe in love and believe in family, and i think that that culture is there. around a lot of people at the end of their life and he says that the people most at peace when they are transitioning into the after life are those who had a lot of family around them. that people who have a lot of family around them seem really agitated and not ready without family. isn't that interesting in >> there's a lot of friends on social media that love being the aunt and uncle and haven't

connected they can also be the mom and the dad. >> listen, if you don't think kids are for you, don't have them. >> right. don't be a bad parent too. >> there's a lot of people that probably shouldn't have kids. i think what you said is a great point, joey, there is something culturally when women make these choices early in life and feel pressure and the whole thing that happened during the pandemic allowed some people to find a little more balance and maybe corporations are going to respond to that. >> we hope so. >> we want to hear from you guys. thoughts on this, let us know. friends@foxnews.com. if you want to pitch your daughter to me to go on a date. >> yeah, send photos. >> the dms are getting crowded. >> let's do the official challenge. >> he is america's most eligible

bachelor now. i will say that. >> that's very well. coming up, climate hypocrisy, the white house wants china to help tackle climate change, but it turns out more than half of the world's new coal power are being built in communist china. plus, hey big spender. another huge spending bill on the horizon. what's really in it. jason is here to break down the real impact on your family.

lawrence: senate democrats striking a bill at massive spending aimed at reducing inflation. what a dichotomy. rachel: we'll go with that. senator joe mansion touting the inflation reduction act as a bill for america claiming it will lower drug costs, increase energy security, and even reduce america's debt. debt. joey: but what are the hidden costs? here to break it down and committee sight chairman, jason. welcome. first of all, how does joe

mansion get on board with a bill that essentially attacks coal? >> what you've got to understand about this bill is it's not done yet. cinema has not weighed in yet and they got joe mansion and he went against his pledges. it raises taxes, he said she shouldn't do and even barack obama said we shouldn't raise taxes during a recession and it's a massive spending bill. earlier in the week they passed the chips bill. if you have the chips bill plus what they're trying to do in reconciliation, it's $700 billion in new spending. don't tell me it's going to reduce inflation. they're going to pour more money into the economy. what's that going to do? then the other thing is that's not going to reduce the deficit. they're counting on hundreds of billions of dollars in new revenue by irs tax enforcement, that never comes to fruition. i don't care what you say, it never comes to fruition. be ware of this bill. when this bill raises taxes on

coal production in west virginia, good luck explaining that to the good people of west virginia. rachel: meanwhile in china, they're building coal plants and by the way, the bill also is being touted by al gore because it has so much of the climate goodies that they want and is this the trick they take something called the inflation reduction act and they basically are tucking all the green new deal stuff into it because they know they can't pass it but put it in behind these? >> there's no justification by spending $700 billion with these two bills saying you're going to reduce inflation. i think it'll have the exact opposite effect and we're spending more than $6 trillion in this country, 25% of our gdp, one out of every four dollars in the country is being spent by the federal government. this is the problem, folks. the $1.9 trillion that you passed last year exacerbated the problem, pouring another $700 billion is not going to solve it and when you have

people like john carry and elizabeth warren and the greenies out there saying this is the best bill, how does joe mansion get behind that? that's crazy to me. what was the deal that mansion struck in order to do this? nobody really knows. lawrence: if y'all can put it up on the screen, i want the audience to know, 15% corporate tax minimum, prescription drug price and reform and this is one of the goodies they're using as a dead pill. irs tax enforcement and -- that means they're hiring more irs agent to get on us. lawrence: exactly. they can name it whatever they want to name it, increasing spending at the end of the day is only going to drive inflation. >> and a few days before that, they passed the chips bill and shame on those senators who voted in favor of that bill --

lawrence: you mean the republicans that got behind that? >> yeah, the combination, $700 billion. joey: maybe mans is taking all the arrows and telling cinema it's your turn to take the arrows. >> they haven't said yet because there's no confirmed deal. it's the $700 billion question. rachel: good point. joey: jason, thank you for joining us, brother. rachel: always good having jason. joey: a live report next on western kentucky. rachel: plus, state passports and government security clearance and kgb uniforms. the hawaii couple accused of spying for russia. stay with us.

rachel: we're back with a fox weather alert, at least 16 people are dead after flood

waters ripped through eastern kentucky. fox weather correspondent is joining us now from lost creek, kentucky. max, just incredible scenes of devastation from where you are. >> reporter: yeah, absolutely. right now we're in the fox weather beast and we're actually on a section of roadway that was under water just a day or so ago. we'll move a bit because i want to show you guys just some -- well, jaw dropping scenes. so off to our right here, what you're seeing are pieces of homes have have essentially built up as debris alongside the road. as we turn this corner here, what you'll start seeing are slabs of homes that are no longer there anymore. just absolutely jaw dropping to see the power of this water as it flowed through here. this is lost creek, and it absolutely overflowed its banks, overturning cars. we're seeing just, you know, devastation here. we are seeing nothing, you know,

just essentially mud slats where there used to be homes. we're hearing incredible stories of survival throughout the flooding event. people rescued from trees, rooftops and we've heard stories of loss with the death toll this flood expected to rise in the coming weeks. right now we are sitting at around 16 people confirmed dead, 6 of them children. that death toll unfortunately going to rise. we talked to one man who says he wanted to help his neighbors even after he and his family had to hold on for their lives as the flood waters rushed into their home. >> my house shifted and everything going to one side, we ran outside and i strapped us to the light pole for two hours and trying to get somebody to save us and nobody could help us. at that point i felt helpless, i couldn't do nothing for my family.

i've lost everything. >> reporter: unfortunately there's just so many people in need here. kentucky's governor says that this is potentially the worst disaster that this state has ever seen, and it's going to take years for them to rebuild. guys back to you. rachel: max, great reporting and thanks for giving us all the latest from the terrible sites. thank you so much. to track the latest storms, download the fox weather app. joey.y. joey, yeah, this is a crazy story. fake passports, invisible inc, u.s. government and security clearance and photos in alleged russian kgb uniforms. all things found in the home of this hawaii couple arrested after decades of living under stolen identities and suspected espionage. glen morison and wilter kenrow claimed to be part of the witness protection program when

they ditched for hawaii ten years ago. walter is detained without bail and glen's lawyer said her client is not a spy. here with more is former cia station chief and fox news contributor dan hoffmann. good morning, dan. off the top here that sounds like something out of a tom clancy novel. does this type of thing actually happen and is what we see what we have here? >> yeah, it does seem a bit like that. there's some unanswered questions here like proof of actual interaction between these two now, you know, alleged spies and russian intelligence. some sort of communications gear, but i could certainly imagine based on some of the circumstantial evidence, as you mentioned the invisible inc, polaroid pictures of them in kgb uniforms and pictures of deceased infants and those would be things that lead you down the

path of being illegals and spies operating without official cover. viewers may remember the arrest in 2010 of russian foreign intelligence illegals by the fbi and ghost stories operation. these two weren't uncovered in that operation if they were indeed spies but could have been spying on behalf of the russian military intelligence, the gre. there's a lot of questions here. joey: this happened in the '80s so to bring this forward today. if somebody tried to do this today and steal identity today and lie about being witness protection, does the digital footprint make it harder or should we be concerned with a new generation of these types of spies with all that's in the news about russia? >> that's the concern for me, would it still be possible today? i'm sure the department of homeland security working with the fbi is taking a hard look at that because imagine if it weren't just spies but what if it's lebanese terrorists who were able to do the same sort of thing and assume u.s. identities and be sleeper agents and

conduct nefarious acts against our country and it's something to be very concerned about going forward. joey: remnant of the cold war is kind of amazing. thanks, dan, for joining us and hope they're the last of the spies we find this way. >> all right. joey: all right, coming up, asking for china's help. the white house wants the communist country to take on climate change, but china's building up their coal fire capacity to be three times larger than the rest of the world combined. and it's the lumber jack world championships and sean duffy is showing rick the ropes out in wisconsin. we're going to check in with them next.

lawrence: china's hypocrisy and president xi tackling climate change in the talk with president biden this week. more than half of the world's coal power plants being build by china. we have the author of false alarm lauren. thanks for joining the program. tell me about this hypocrisy here. they're saying that everyone needs to be apart of changing the way that we do business that negatively affects the climate,

but china isn't being held accountable at all. why? >> well, fundamentally if you look at what -- thanks, lawrence, it's great to be here. fundamentally look at what china's doing. they're building a lot more coal pile. why? because coal is still incredibly cheap. so understoodmently we've -- fundamentally we've been told that solar and wind is much cheaper. not when the sun is not shining and wind is not blowing and not like china doesn't know. the real problem here in the way that we think about climate change is that we think it matters. what we well mening people in the u.s. and -- meaning people in the u.s. do when we put up an extra wind turbine and solar panel and feel good about ourselves, but the reality is the vast amount will come from china, from india, from africa, from everywhere else in the world so what we got to realize is right now the reason why we like coal and many others is fundamentally because cheap and reliable energy is what drives

globalization, and you can't tell people not to have that. what you need to do is to find a way to make green energy so cheap that everybodiments it, but you're never going to get china to do this unless it gets cheaper. lawrence: yeah, how do we do that? i mean, americans are having to pay so much money right now at the gas pump already. inflation is hitting us in every sector of our life. we want to do the right thing and be good stewards of the earth. what is the balance approach? >> well, so fundamentally the thing we need to recognize is you're not going to solve the problem by telling everyone: buy expensive sufficient. that's what you're telling them and then we end up with a society where energy is very expensive and we're much less well off than we otherwise could have been. what we need to do is what has always driven the american dream: invasion. innovation. in the 1950s, los angeles was terribly polluted because of cars.

it's not to tell everyone walk or run instead. the solution was technological innovation in 1974 when they invented the catalytic converter and they put it on your car and drive longer and pollute less. we need innovation and not a lot of people telling us, it's incredibly cheap and then authorizing we just saw this bill at $369 billion in extra subsidies to green energy because it's still not cost effective. lawrence: got a lot of people making suggestions but they're not willing to offset the cost. i think that's what it boils down to a lot of americans, we want to do the right thing, we want to protect our environment but, you know, it's the money. it all goes back to the coin. >> yeah. people are willing to pay a couple hundred dollars but what biden and many others are proposing is something that will cost upwards of more than $10,000 per person per year by mid century. people aren't willing to do that. remember, that's for the u.s..

can you imagine people in china or in india or africa paying that amount of money? no, they can't and they won't. again, we're not solving this by feeling good and spending lots of money. we'll do this through invasion. bjorn, thank you for putting into perspective. rachel, other to you. rachel: solar panels coming from china, slave labor. they're produced by slave labor. we've got a fox weather alert, thunderstorms rampaging through las vegas over the last two nights bringing monsoon rain and flash floods and the storms causing this river inside the parking garage inside the linq hotel and treacherous road conditions causing more than 20 crashes on thursday alone. for more on this story and the lathest weather information, download the fox weather app. nba hall of famer charles barkly reportedly ends all future negotiations with lib golf to

forests and back when times were so hard. tell me what that region is and how it started. >> thinking back in the 1800s, this vast resource of pine was here. hayward was nothing but a settlement and they came in here and the big lumber warehouses and hines and built luck bernards healthcare -- lumber mills here and established this town and this very area that we're on now served as a holding pond for all those logs for the mills and stuff like that to get the material that they needed. we had the railroad being developed that came up through hayward, and we that we could get that lumber down to chicago once it was milled. >> reporter: the way you did that to chop the logs down with an ax. that was the first thing and then move it down water. >> absolutely. now absolutely incredible. when you think about it and those kind of conditions and what those men went through to get that wood to a landing. >> reporter: sean, real quick,

what they're doing looks fun but this was done in the water to move logs. >> they would take logs from where they cut them and get them to the saw miltown so they had to drive them down the river and stand on the logs with pike polls and drive them and that's how the log rolling came to be chopping, sawing, it all comes from the old time sports that old time skills lumberjacks used to use. >> reporter: a lot of people dried in the proses and it's fud it's fun and the championships are next hour. >> climb and log roll and rick looks more like a lumberjack than i do. >> reporter: rachel, put on your smedium shirt. shirt. rachel: where's the flannel, sean? >> reporter: it'll be a wild morning. rick has been flexing and stretching all morning to climb and roll and it's going to be excited to see him actually get wet. rachel: we're looking forward to seeing all that. sean, find yourself a flannel.

represent. lawrence: when the wife says it, got to do it. michael walz and more ahead in the next hour. rachel: meet the political outsider making it her mission to become washington states first republican senator in two decades. stay with us.

rachel: welcome back to fox and friends. it's tuesday and washington state election for the u.s. senate and an outsider making it her mission to become the first republican senator in more than 20 years. bring in u.s. senate candidate, nurse, and mom of three tiffany smiley. thank you for joining us this morning. if you win this primary, you're going to take on patty murrey, she's a very powerful democrat. what are the chances of a republican beating someone as powerful as her in a state that's as blue as washington? >> i will say when i win the primary, we will be taking on patty murrey and, you know, i'm on the right side of the issues. i've been at this for 16 months,

which is different than what others have done in the past. i've been in all 39 counties many multiple times in washington state and building coalitions. we built a coalition over the last 16 months and i'm funded by the people of washington state, and i have taken the time, you know, to listen to the farmer in dayton, washington, and learn about how he's had to cut his budget because of inflation. i've talked to the small business owner in seattle where crime is having a massive affect on their employees and success as a business. a mom in kirkland worried about her child's education and the fentanyl crisis in our schools. i talked with a veteran in mount vernon who said i didn't leave the democrat party, they left me. we're on the right side of the issues and i'm hearing across washington state is patty murray has forgotten about us and we have real issues at the end of policy, bad policy is real people. we are building a coalition here in washington state all over the

state to take back our state and get our country back on track. rachel: yeah, you're going to need a coalition. there's not enough republicans to elect a republican in washington state and it appears to me from what i'm hearing from my family who lives over there in washington state, and i have family there, you're saying that you're getting a response from democrats or from independence? >> independence, democrats, you know, we have the highest gas prices, top three in the country, highest gas prices here in washington state, inflation, high energy costs. we have a crime problem, we have a fentanyl problem, crisis really and patty murray is missing in action. i would like to say, if anyone wants to join us in holding joe biden and patty murray accountable for their failed policy, join us at smileyforwashington.com and join us in this fight. our children's future depends on what happens in this milled term election. midterm election. it's time for leadership and service over self-and country over party. we need to elect leaders who will go to dc, roll up sleeves

and deliver results rachel: tiffany smiley, you're a mom of three and wife of veteran and you're stepping up. see how it goes for you. good luck in the primary. >> thank you, there's a new mom in town. rachel: good to hear that. i love it. coming up, china's state media threatening to shoot down house speaker pelosi's plane if she visits taiwan. world stage conflict top of the hour, stay withh us.

joey: good morning, you're looking at new hampshire there. beautiful northeastern beach. probably some lobsters out. some lobsta out there somewhere. there's a couple mr. jones and rachel on the couch this

morning. >> good morning. joey: we're having a good time. rachel: we won't talk about what we're talking about. lawrence: good to be with you both this morning. rachel: yeah, good to be with both of you and we're coming in every hour from hayward, wisconsin, from the north woods, god's country, where the world's lumberjack championships are happening this weekend. my husband is out there with rick. lawrence: who is the world champion? rachel: sean is a world champion speed climber and went up to the 30 and 60-foot poles. lawrence: he's trying to show his muscles off. you're telling him to put on something else. rachel: i thought he should wear a flannel. maybe he spent too much time in jersey. joey: he can wear a cut off flannel without the sleeves.

rachel: he did that. what happened is he forget has flannel shirt in jersey lawrence: i forgot mine too. there's a lot happening on the foreign policy front and nancy pelosi announced she was going to head to taiwan and we know the dispute between taiwan and china. after that, this is what we got from the state media. if the u.s. fighter jets escort pelosi's plane into taiwan, it is invasion. the people's liberation army and firing warning shots and making technical movement of obstruction. if ineffective, shoot them down. they're saying just to be clear, she was speaker of the house, they're in session. as she goes, they're going to shoot the plane down, rachel. rachel: that's right. congressmen and women have been

quietly going to taiwan for awhile. so she was going on a trip to asia. she didn't announce, i guess, she was going to taiwan, but people kind of knew. then the white house, senator tom cotton leaked the information she was going in hopes she would not go. so once that leaked, then we got the statement that you just read, which is very aggressive. it's a threat, very aggressive on the part of the chinese and peter doocy was at the white house in the press room and asked what to make of the chinese threat. here's what that exchange looked like. >> an official who is associated with chinese state media is suggesting that if speaker pelosi tries to go to taiwan, her plane could be shot down. does the president have a response to that? >> i know you're asking

specifically about the rhetoric that we're hearing from china. but as it relates to the speaker's travels, something that we're just not going to speak to. right now that's a hypothetical. rachel: joey, it's a really interesting set up. you have the white house stepping on nancy pelosi's trip and now you have a lot of republicans coming to the defense of nancy pelosi and saying, i think she should take that trip. i'll take the trip with her. what's going to happen here? joey: well, i think it's funny. i think we have a rewind a bit. the last time a speaker visited taiwan was 1997 and it shows how different the world is now than 1997. but the taiwan defense treaty ended in 1979 but joe biden hasn't been in office for the last 100 years. one of the first things he said on taiwan is eluded to coming to their defense because of a defense treaty and he misspoke as joe biden does, and that was

the first public step forward in the escalation. china's almost responding to this mishap that joe biden spoke when he said that we have some sort of mutual defense history that we do not have with taiwan. i can't remember his exact words but had to walk them back after that. it just kind of shows you how important it is to have a president and a lead who are can be lucid and speak clearly and not put any kind of wrong messaging out there. does china understand at the top that he was misspeaking in that way? probably but he gave them red meat to use in this escalation we have where now china feels like they have leverage over us but can bully us around. it wasn't that long ago, a few decades ago we had the u.s. independence that was harassed in the water and all the air space and seas around and all the land is chinese sovereignty. so they stretch that had and don't adhere to the

international water perimeter and they posture and this is beyond posturing, this is threatening. lawrence: the question is not on the politics or the policy of the administration. the question is what would be the response to the threat? joey: yes. lawrence: the press secretary was asked, and she correctly noted: i know you're talking about specifically the speaker's coming from china, the threats coming from -- but what i want to talk about is the trip. i mean, the evasiveness. we're not talking about a republican here; right. and by the way, this is beyond politics though. rachel: yeah, it is. lawrence: this is a democrat official, the speaker of the house, and the president has yet to respond to the threat. mike pom pay, the secretary of state has dealt with china and nows how to respond to them.

listen. >> it's a dangerous way to think about america's place in the world and think some knuckle head chinese communist party can make a threat on someone third in line nor the presidency in the united states of america and change her travel plans to travel to a country she wants to go see and visit. it's part and parcel of a weak foreign policy. administration that's scared of its own shadow and this is less than 24 hours after the president's on the phone with xi jinping. this suggests that that call went poorly and xi jinping believes they can move about the cabin freely and intimidate us and i'm with nancy on this one. lawrence: rachel, when you have mike pompeo saying i'm with nancy and can't get the president, i don't think i heard mike pompeo say i'm with nancy at all. this shows it's an american issue now a -- but the president of the united states, he hasn't uttered those words. rachel: no, and i think a lot of people are wondering why.

in that statement that -- in the conversation that mike pompeo had, we don't have that clip on right now, but he listed some possibilities of why it was leaked, why his response -- joe biden's response was so weak, why the white house leaked it in the first place. one of the things he talked about is, you know, could he be compromised? could joe biden be compromised? why is he so weak? there's been issue after issue where joe biden has taken the side that benefits china over the side that benefits america and american workers. one thing to note that's important is taiwan produces some 90% of all the chips in the world. that might be why we had of course this bill come up to try and encourage production here in the united states, but it's an important topic. clearly china feels elmore boldened by -- emboldened by the way we've responded initially by the threats to russia and

ukraine and many people predicted at that time this is exactly what would happen and that china would become more aggressive, and i think the question to democrats is can they now not look at the world, democrats who voted for joe biden and there's some 80 million of them, can they not look at the world and say, oh my goodness, the world is so much more dangerous under joe biden than it was under donald trump. i think it's just so obvious. joey: well, i think part of the problem is there's a dysfunction between nancy pelosi and joe biden. i mean, obviously either joe biden feels like she is not doping him any favors by planning this trip and essentially going and that's why they leaked this, or she feels like they're not supporting her in doing her job, which is kind of odd considering they're both democrats and really the leaders of that party and nancy is pretty much given a rubber stamp to joe biden in his view maybe this is how she repays him by bringing him another problem. lawrence: yeah. i don't think when they -- if

the allegation is true that they did leak it, i don't think they anticipated such a threat because you think there'd be a response if they anticipated the threat, but maybe they did. joey: the response almost seems that she does the trip. that has to be the response at this point. rachel: we'll talk a bit later with michael walz. he says if china follows through on pelosi's threat, it would be indeed a declaration of war. lawrence: y'all may a hear communication director kate benfield was part of the campaign, was set to leave. apparently she's changed her mind and is now staying on. this is a tweet from bettingfield. a massive thank you to everyone, everyone, who endured listening to me wax on about how i regretted my decision to leave. there's so much more to do and i'm so proud and grateful to be

a part of this team on ward. so this is one of his top advisers. she was a part of that mass exodus and i think she should have to stay. that press shop is out of control. they make incoherent statements all the time, they acknowledge questions as we just showed you a while ago, and they refuse to answer. the baby formula madness is still a big deal. rachel: yeah, it is. lawrence: they need to take away the binder because they're always flipping through. the people that craft the message need a binder and a postcard like the president of the united states to deliver the gender of the white house. it's so striking to see the nonsense out of the white house. rachel: what you believe, lawrence, is the poor performance and work down by karine jean-pierre is why she

was talked into staying. lawrence: you're seeing kirby sent to the white house and answering questions outside of the realm of national security a lot of times and now the communications director saying she's going to stay after it was reported months ago that she was leaving. this is a communication shop that's in crisis, and instead of making the switch, they decided somebody has to stay. rachel: yeah. lawrence: this is the democratic party though. they are incompetent and has nothing to do with her background or anything like that. the bottom line is she didn't perform well. i did not care for jim saki. i thought what she was saying was wrong but she was a competent communications person but i disagreed with what she was communicating. rachel: yeah, let's hear from one of the best communicators out of the white house, and that would be our own colleague and good friend dana parino. >> you have people who consider themselves very serious actually

trying to change the definition of a word to get out of it. it reminds me of when peter doocy asked jen saki, then the press secretary if there was a crisis at the southern border and it went round and round and round because she said it was a challenge and not a crisis. remember when barack obama didn't want to call terrorists terrorists and radical extremists and couldn't say radical terrorists and manipulate the language insulting to the very people who you are leading. it's not necessary. joey: you know, i think politics might be the only team sport that's a team sport that you can't score on defense. when your white house press secretary stands up there and every single day on defense explaining something away and circling the wagon around and saying we're not finishing the wall. yeah, but you're building the wall. but we're not finishing the wall. constantly on defense you can't score points that way and they

have to score points. people at home are not happy regardless of political decisions and they're not happy with wallets or gas prices and the food available, baby formula and real world tangible things that don't feel like part of issues, they're not happy with it and when you take that podium, when you're fielding questions, you have to score points for this president that's not a great communicator himself and by the way can't rely on the vp because she might be the only one that's worse than he is at communicating and at some point for the sake of our country, i hope they figure out how to get their point across. rachel: the advantage they have is the media. lawrence: yeah. rachel: they have -- they could go -- they're going to say i'm going to -- their policies are horrible. america is becoming poorer every day. the inflation situation is hurting the poorest and, you know, among us. this is horrible policy. nobody is happy with it. but they can go to a press conference and say -- and

redefine the word inflation, which we all know is two quarters of gdp -- sorry, redefine recession and the media will just run with them. are most people watching this press conference? no. but a lot of people are getting the news and if they're not watching the fox news channel or if they're not on alternative media, they're hearing we're maybe going into recession. but maybe in the end it doesn't matter. people feel recession anyways. lawrence: that's just the point right there, rachel. they can spin all they want and have the press in their pocket all they want but when you look at biden's job approval -- -- rachel: american people aren't stupid. lawrence: 59% disapprove, traveling across countries, going to diners and covering stories in middle america, urban america, everyone is saying the same exact thing. rachel: yeah. lawrence: i don't think i've ever experienced that.

that would be running themes before but now it is he got to go. he got to go. many people are saying they don't feel like they can deal with two years until he's done. they don't feel like the lame duck period of time or they cannot wait until the mid terms. they don't have enough time. when you start hearing that, joey, from democrats and republicans, you know, more than communication. joey: 38% approval rating. i know that many people in georgetown and berkeley, california. i don't know many people happy now. headlines, to a fox weather alert, at least 25 people dead after devastating flooding in kentucky. that includes four young children swept away from their parents. governor of kentucky says the death toll could double with unknown number of people still missing. fatalities reported all throughout southeast kentucky including 11 people in knot county. president biden declaring a state of emergency yesterday. for the latest information,

need a bigger boat". which movie, jaws, perfect storm, sharknado, or pirates of the caribbean. >> i'm going with jaws. joey: that's right, it's jaws. yes. i didn't know. i didn't have it in the prompter. yes, jaws. we got another one here. there's no crying in baseball is said in either bull durham, major league, a league of their own, and field of dreams. i'm not sure of this. lawrence: field of dreams. joey: i'm thinking c, league of their own. rachel: c also. joey: it's a league of their own. i don't know if i've ever seen that movie all the way. on wednesday -- we've got one more here or at least the next one is "on wednesdays, we wear pink". i don't know. clueless, 13 going on 30, 16 candles, and mean girls. i've only watched c and i don't

recognize this. it's not 16 candles. lawrence: sounds like a mean girls movie. rachel: sounds like mean girls. i was going to say clueless but could be mean girls. joey: the movie is mean girls. rachel: i just have never watch it had before till a couple weeks ago with my girls. i should have known that because i just watched it. i love clueless so much. joey: one more here. i could have been a contender, i could have been somebody. from taxi driver, on the water front, citizen kane, or casa blanca. on the water front, there we go. that's your quiz. rachel, you did pretty good. i didn't answer the first one. i thought i was supposed to ask questions. rachel: i knew you two haven't seen those ones.

lawrence: guess. we've got more news coming up, a prosecutor taking on chicago state's attorney kim fox. brian breaking down the scathing resignation accusing her of putting politics over crime victims. rachel: and where in the world is my husband? sean is joining rick on his all american road trip and this week at the lucker jack world championships and find out -- lumberjack world championships and find out if rick has what it takes to join the big leagues.

lawrence: a toparchy producer is taking attorney kim to write a letter and jim murphy says, "this administration is more concerned with political narratives and agendas than victims and prosecuting violent crime. that's why i can't stay any longer". here to react is host of fox friends weekday and the host of one nation. all of the stuff on fox. brian, are the walls finally

closing in on kim fox? >> yeah, i mean, lawrence, i had to look at this story, is this san francisco? los anless? los angeles? new york? same story and different city and they're all riddled with crime and criminals that keep committing the same crime every day and some as bad as murder. this guy jim murphy says i'm for no cash bail in certain circumstances and i'm for safe act but nothing safe about the safe act and he points out one other time where kim fox sees the story about a murder and he's upset that the murder is actually getting out in a very short amount of time and that was the headline. she is the more upset about the headline than about the dead girl. he said i've had it. there's nobody standing up for the rule of law, and i'm done. i'm finished, i'm through. this is kim fox. he said i wish i could stay however i can no longer work for

an administration i have zero confidence in its leadership. there's low moral and understaffed. nobody wants to work for her. nobody wants to work for beau dean and the next story about alvin bragg is everyone heading for the exit in new york. i have to suspend logic. we used to split hairs and talk about different philosophies coming to crime and the boarder and these issues of political parties. but this is just right and wrong. this is -- is it okay to commit a crime and should you be prosecuted for doing it? this is what i just find maddening about these series of stories. that's why people are so incensed walking around the cities today. there's no sense that anyone has your back. lawrence: it's so true, brian, and it begs the question: are they losing the reasonable people, the people that wanted criminal justice reform? is everyone just going to lift their hands and say, just get them. just go get them. i feel that way.

>> yeah, and for this guy for example, murphy, who got himself in trouble evidently there was a cop shot a 16-year-old, and he said judging by the footage, he said he saw the 16-year-old had a gun, he dropped it a split second before he was shot and look back and suspended him for awhile and put him back on the job and since there's no commitment to coming down against the criminal, there's been an overcorrection and kim foxx is out there for her own personal gain and wanted to be famous instead of doing her job. my hope is that the rubber has hit the road with bodean gone and pressure of alvin bragg and the pressure on murphy and foxx and the pressure to put the lenient prosecutors into the job that are really defense attorneys is about to blow up because the american people, not democrats or republicans, want a sense of security on their streets and the cops have said, i can't even do my job.

don't even ask me to do that. i'm not going to go and arrest to do my job. by the way, take my badge, i quit. so this is where the perfect storm is happening and we're in the line of fire. lawrence: it's so true. brian, i'm sure you're going to be covering some of the topics on your show tonight. what do you got coming up? >> i'm going to be talking about a little of what's happening in the political landscape and what's happening with china with steve mosher who wrote the bully of asia. guess who the bully .s i'm going to talk about the wokeness happening at madison and jefferson's house talking about slavery and not the legendary founding fathers and without them we wouldn't be talking like this, and we'll be talking aboue talking to lauren and news dawning it out. commissioner ray kelly will be coming out of retirement to talk to us to tell us how to grab

back our streets so that's coming up at 8:00 and 11:00 and also i'll be on stage august 27 talking about all the topics in newark. in albany september 8 and two dates in november. it's going to be a lot of fun tonight and hopefully late august, but we have a lot of summer left. lawrence: that's right, brian. brian has prime time coverage at 8:00 p.m. tonight. don't miss it. thanks, brian. >> warming the seat for you, lawrence. lawrence: keep it nice and warm. see you later. as illegal immigrants stream through gaps in our border, remember this promise? >> there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration. lawrence: biden seems to be backtracking on that as he green lights completing a wall in arizona. that's next.

rachel: welcome back to fox friends. how's this for hypocrisy. president biden once called trump's immigration policies phobic and racist and vowed never to build a foot of the border wall. listen. >> trump campaigned on build that wall. are you willing to tear that wall down? >> there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration. administration. rachel: but now the biden administration has quietly approved a plan to complete a section of the arizona border. here to react is former fed and arizona national guard and u.s. senate candidate retired general mick mcguire. so nice to have you on the show this morning. a lot of people are saying mark kelly, the senator of arizona is in big trouble and this is why the president has approved this little bit of wall in arizona to be built.

you agree? >> good morning, rachel. i do agree. this is the height of hypocrisy. clearly this is a political stunt. that said every one of us in arizona, every one of us like me who has generations of family here in this state have never seen this level of lawlessness. you heard lawrence and brian just talking before this that if you do not enforce the rule of law. the country as we know it will come apart at the seams and that's why i'm running for u.s. senate and when people on the left, rachel, come on your show and talk about it's inhumane to build a wall. ask them is it inhumane to have over 40 people die in the morales san sector die this year crossing the border? children, young children and women, it's completely lawless in this area. this section of wall needs to get done. the remain in mexico needs to get re-instated and reactivate

the 1,030 guardsman under my command that joe biden zeroed out and derelict the duty. rachel: this is the one that's very honestly a broker about the border. henry has been challenging his party and asking biden and kamala to come down and see what's going on. has mark kelly done anything of those things and what is his record as an arizona senator on the border? >> well, he's coming up on two years in office. shortly after he was elected in the special election, he talked about the fact that he wanted to study the problem. rachel, i can take you down to the morales san sector today, if we re-i've in the next hour, within the next two to three hours, hundreds of people would be streaming across dropping papers and entering their pockets before they cross the gaps in the wall all being trafficked by the cartels. the lawless behavior has

escalated into human trafficking and escalation in drug smuggling, china is complies sit in this with the production of nettal and hundreds -- fentanyl precur soss and hundreds of thousands of americans are dying from overdoses and mark kelly wanted to study this problem when he arrived in office. that's why they're terrified. the big money people are terrified, the establishment is terrified of my success taking him on in november because we have to break this cycle. rachel: the u.s. government is complicit as well. thank you for joining us, mick, and good luck in the primary. >> you bet. everybody get out and vote, august 2, tuesday is a big primary and, rachel, i look forward to being back on your show to talk about how a guy that got outspend 12-1 wins this race. rachel: you got it. thanks, mick. coming up, china's chilling warning to president biden over

lawrence: lawrence: welcome back to "fox and friends". speaker pelosi considers visiting taiwan, chinese state media suggests shooting down her plane if she does visit. they say "if u.s. fighter jets escort pelosi's plane into taiwan, this is an invasion ". china's army has the right to forcibly dispel the fighter jet including firing warning shots. if ineffective then shoot them down". national guard colonel, former green beret commander michael waltz. what do you make of this? >> hi, joey. i think to put this in the broader contest, this is part of what china calls its wolf diplomacy where it intimidates,

manipulates neighbors and countries around the world to get its way and right now this is in the midst of a massive, joey, this is a massive military build up on india's border with china, new basis, barracks, airfields. they have four ships pressing into japanese territorial waters over disputed islands there. now you have, you know, this kind of threat, and that's what it is. this isn't what the white house said, which was unnecessary rhetoric. this is an outright threat against the u.s. official that's the number three in line for the presidency. this is all about xi and his 20th party congress and this is a chinese party every five year meeting where he'll essentially be reelected, and i use that term loosely, to a third term and this is about him being nationalistic, blustering, and really showing -- puffing up his chest and showing his strength

as he heads into that congress. that said, joey, the response from the white house is pathetic. this is the speaker of the house of the united states of america, and it should be coming loud and clear from the white house that they have her back. these are unacceptable threats to her life coming from chinese state media. and then a phone call for chairman xi to say to the president of the united states you play with fire, you're going to get burned, when do we stop worrying about xi's feelings or putin's feelings and start making them worry about hours? that's what we need to see from this white house and we're not seeing any leadership, none, zero, zip. joey: what -- literally what should be the response? should pelosi go on this trip for sure showing china we're not going to be bullied and do you think there's really a threat to this? >> well, you know, bide and yet another international kind of gaffe, he shouldn't have been confirming the trip in the first

place as he did to the press when he said the military doesn't support it, but now that he did, she has no choice. she has to go because if she doesn't, the message that will send to our allies, the japanese, south koreas, australia and taiwanese that we're not going to visit because of a tough phone call, what does that mean for our resolve to defend democracy in the pacific? she has to go at this point. joey: well, hopefully this is just rhetoric. china's foreign ministry spokesperson says the white house press secretary's claim that biden brought up the issue of genocide and forced labor among the weeingers, he says that's false. what do you make of that? >> i say release the transcript. i certainly hope he brought it up. there's a million muslim weigers

he's got spurs on his boots and we'll coach him through this. go a step. >> reporter: can i say bs, the word bs on the show? >> no, we have to [ bleep ] that out it. is one of the most challenging sports in lumberjack and show you what real professionals look like on lumberjack sports and tough up and poll and as rick does it, getting you guys ready. one, two, go. going 45 feet. rick is going a little bit slower. 123450 rick is going a little -- little -- rachel: rick is going a little slower. >> rick is just trying to make it to the black line, which is 15 feet. he's afraid he'll lose teeth as he goes up. his legs are burning right now. lawrence: how is he going to get back down?

>> rick -- >> reporter: thank you, joey. that's a good question. >> rick, let's come down, rick. all right, you're high enough. lawrence: he's so brave. that takes courage. >> step, step. before we do this, rick, don't let go of your rope. if you start to fall, cinch in. rick will probably punish me when he gets down but this truly is the bull riding of lumberjack sports and tune in, it's amazing. we'll be here all afternoon. >> reporter: i've never been so happy to come down before. come back in an hour and i'll still be trying to go up. rachel: it's amazing. it is a lot harder than it looks. i fell in love with sean watching him do that. it's a very difficult athletic endeavor. lawrence: i just love watching rick. that was impressive, i'm telling you, yeah. rachel: i get it. rick, we'll come back to see how

rick did. we'll give a fox news alert. lawrence: in the next hour. up next, live report outside of washington where rising crime is forcing starbucks to close up shop. that's next on "fox&friends".

lawrence: starbucks closes multiple locations in democrat run cities due to the increase in crime. rachel: and after 20 years of service, the union station location in washington dc is closing up leaving commuters with fewer options. joey: griff jenkins who knows that location well is live outside union station with more, griff. >> reporter: that's right, joey, rachel, lawrence, good morning. it's a sad sight this starbucks closing and this is video i just shot and take a look at it. i was inside and they're taking the sign down and the starbucks was as you point out, an icon here not only for commuters but also the capitol hill surrounding area, and it's shuttered its doors for good now. it's not the only store. in fact the whole place is turning into a ghost town overrun with homelessness. look at this video we can show you. look at the empty stores. empty store after store after store. used to be high-end retail and now it is empty.

now in the span of about 15 minutes when i was in there about an hour ago, i was approached three times by homeless people, and that's why people are not wanting to come here but more than that, it is the crime in the surrounding area. now union station is not in the jurisdiction of the metropolitan dc police but mpd data shows that crime in all categories has risen in the last year including a stabbing outside of union station last month. now, fox news spoke to customers who frequent this starbucks. here's a bit of what they had to say, listen. >> hearing that this corporate giant is considerably concerned about their employees that they're pulling their location out of here is a little bit, like, i'm going to be more concerned about myself the next time i come here. >> i think that would be one of the first things they should be doing is having more security around in big places and places that a lot of people travel. >> people are the way they are

mistreating the people who are there to serve and help us. i'm very sad about the whole situation. >> reporter: and this starbucks is not the only one shuttering its doors. take a look at this map. you can see here a total of 16 stores nationwide closing due to crime. two in portland, six in seattle, six in la, union station and one in philadelphia. ceo of starbucks howard schultz says they're closing because of concerns to his employees and democrat run cities saying the government across the country and leaders, mayors, and governors have advocated their responsibility in fighting crime and addressing mental illness. we should point out there's some critics saying that the starbucks stores are closing because of efforts to unionize. when you look at cities where the stores are closing, those are all the stores -- cities where the crime is spiraling out of control. it's a hard argument to make, guys. rachel: yeah, agree.

i don't feel story for starbucks but the small businesses inside union station. sean was visiting one of them and the poor guy, it was a tie shop, it was awful. lawrence: thanks, griff. rachel: thank you, griff. ahead, will smith breaks his silence and apologizes to chris rock. stay with us.

[laughter] he definitely kicked all of our behind on the horse. spieth on the rating box and friend champion. you got the bull. rachel: yes that's right.

spieth i think it is more impressive a. [laughter] rachel: sorry about that. joey: i want to battery-powered chains i just saw operator might take one of those home with me. think i could get that on the carry-on? they make an attachment for ar according to u.s. today. that was a controversy. they probably got band to it yesterday. spieth said there's a lot of controversy right now over at nancy pelosi's trip to chinese. threatening to shoot down her play if she decides to go ahead with her visit to taiwan. spieth crazy this is just one day after biden spent some time speaking to president xi over the phone. china officials dispute the content of that call. david is a lie from the white house with moore, david. >> hi good morning to you. we got word speaker pelosi is on her way to asia right now to visit japan, singapore, south korea, taiwan still up in the air right now. she will not confirm it, nor deny it. same with the white house they do not want to really talk about it telling us to go to speaker

pelosi's office. we do know the chinese communist party clearly does not want her to come to taiwan. here she is yesterday. >> for every member of congress are traveling especially abroad, but for the speaker it is additional situation. >> this is an interesting issue pelosi clearly wants to go and republican some of her biggest political enemies are siding with her here on this issue. agree she needs to do it to show china that the united states is not afraid. democrats are telling her not to go. official associated with state media so far as rachel mentioned to say her plane could be shot down. that is serious rhetoric. the white house would not give much of an answer when asked specifically about this, listen. >> we are asking specifically about the rhetoric we are hearing from china. but as it relates to the

speakers travels. something we are just not going to speak to right now that is a hypothetical. >> on thursday the president spent more than two hours on the phone this chinese counterpart xi jinping to talk about multiple issues up it is a first call and months to the chinese readout, president xi told biden those who play with fire will perish bite we hope the u.s. will be clear eyed about this. some intense rhetoric coming from china to the united states. the united states playing it coy. it's possible she make out we may find out about it after words for security reasons or she may not go at all. it's notable president xi is seeking an unprecedented third heard in congress pretty meets every five years and he was to seek the third term to stay in for as long as possible, back to you. spieth i think we know who's going to win. rachel: thank you david. let's bring in dan bongino a

good friend of our show and host of unfiltered killing it on saturday night. listen, dan, we are so glad to have you on this topic. i look at what is happening. i cannot imagine this happening under a trump administration. i am going to play some sound, something that happened earlier under the trump administration when north korea threatened the united states. i want to get your reaction on the other side. >> north korea best not make any more threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury, like the world has never seen. he has been very threatening be on a normal state. and as i said, they will be met with fire, fury, and frankly power. the likes of which this world has never seen before.

rachel: sedan let's be fair. north korea is not china. talk to me about the difference and how these two presidents handle threats like this. >> yes, at first this is a really serious situation with china. i mean it is obvious. i honestly think it's most important story of the week. it may be of the year so far. if this breaks it bad, this could lead to a cascade of negatives that could really and in some kind of things would change the history books. and i hate to even imagine what could happen at this pelosi trip happens and breaks it badly. having said that, it's fairly obvious at this point the chinese communist party, and i say this guys for as much as i obviously disagree with joe biden's politics, i do want my two daughters and a nuclear war a decades long nuclear war with the chinese communist party, okay? they do not respect the man in

the white house right now, at all. not even a little bit. think about it, give conflicting readouts of a call for the chinese communist party gives a readout so humiliating to the president of the united states that they essentially flip them a double-barreled middle finger and going to say we are going to put out the international media we told everyone you are an idiot. that is how bad it was, the readout on what happened. this type of stuff typically does not happen especially when you're on a razors edge. there is another component to this too. regarding the contrast between biden donald trump, you may laugh this is an actual thing. the crazy man a theory of international politics. you can look it up for your self. it is the idea at your worst enemy in geopolitics and god forbid war is predictability. well why? joe what you can figure out if i can predict what you're going to do i'm going to be up to the pun. if i get my opponents playbook i'm going to take it, i'm going

to win the game. the thing is about biden, so predictably weak, and backs down. believe me i am not a global interventionalists. you listen to my show, i do not want us in conflicts we do not need to be involved in. i'm just suggesting to you the man is so predictably weak, joe biden. and donald trump was so incredibly unpredictable that nobody wanted to toy with him. the countries that a s.w.a.t. analysis how do we mitigate the threat by leveraging a strength? how do we mitigate a weakness by take advantage of an opportunity? and they could not figure out what it opportunity or a threat was because they did not know what trouble is when you say or do. whether you like it or not, it is true. with the biden he will always, always back down. and now we find ourselves in a really bad situation. spieth dan, it's almost the point. it's a similar point i have been making all morning.

the back-and-forth on the policy between china is irrelevant at this moment. the point is they threaten the united states. they threatened the president that's in third line of succession. another president is not doing anything for the white house press secretary snapping strong as well. they look at the president like a weenie. joey: you have a responsibility, dan, what would you do. >> to the conservatives out that there is a way out of this. if she does not go, and congressman was right in with different views on where we should and shouldn't be internationally, me and him. but he is right. at this point she almost has to go. if she does not go though, you have the old adage to best things done behind closed door, make love and war behind closed doors. what has to happen right now if she doesn't go as we better get

a concession. we better get something. tony blinken and that team better be behind closed doors right now sitting listen, this is a major face plant if nancy pelosi does not go. you are going to weaken us on the international stage. we went to x, y, nz and we wanted tomorrow. and if this doesn't happen that plane is landing in taiwan or the like it or not. guys, you've got to remember this trip leaked. we do not have good options here. does everyone understand that? we have bad options worse option and worse does options for there's no good options after this we pretty better take the bad right and up but worse the s1. it better be happening behind closed door. this trip happens if i get nothing out of this, this is again a noninterventionist guy is much as possible. if we bend the knee right now, we are in real trouble. they will own us from this point on. this was linked by the white house and some is saying what is

that sure about the dysfunction between the speaker of the house a democrat in the president who is a democrat. a kind of seems like the white house is undermining pelosi. maybe they see pelosi creating a problem where there should not be won by making this a trip to begin with. >> we should never assume, as you well know, all of you on the couch, they are party for the democrats or republicans everyone gets along and sings cool by all songs around a campfire. that is not what happens. pelosi has her own agenda. my guess is a biden ministration of their going to a bevy of bad economic news. they felt they put pelosi and a box by leaking the trip. leaking the trip would force her not to take it because it forced the china counter reaction. and i don't think they expected pelosi nullify themselves a butting heads don't assume everyone is a buddies here we know this conflict in her own

party to think democrats don't have the same thing? i think they expected pelosi to back down. the china's common party stayed quiet about it, will not of that happened. seven dan, before going have to ask you whatever the situation is that arises with china, he is especially weak with china. i think it is fair that we have to ask the question about the hunter biden laptop. about that dirty deals, and about the fact he may be our president may be compromised. i know this sounds crazy to some people but it has to be asked. >> no, don't. it is not crazy. don't even say it's fair, it is necessary. you've got a president of the united states not as a big guy on a 10% kickback on a corrupt deal with the chinese communist party connected energy company that his son was refereeing. fair? what you think the black mail file in china looks like on this buffoon?

fair? guys come on. if this was any other -- make anyone else of the republican party who had this kind of a case up against them, there would be calls for criminalization and a public firing squad right now, fair? this is outrageous. of course we have to ask these questions. of course the guy is corrupted. this influences decision-making? him by the way, that the media is not focus like a laser on this is just totally humiliating. it is a worse than our immediate right now he is the big guy. china knows it. the block and trim black mail file is probably this that you're darn right it's fair. >> we need to sit transcript of the call. but you're not going to the pub and i going to let it out. spieth you've got a big show tonight who's on? >> we're going to talk with senator ron johnson who was set up by the fbi.

tax cut is a way to spur growth during record high inflation for the mayor himself drains me now. it is so great to have you this morning. so, president biden denying there is a recession. he knows there is one. but he is raising taxes, you are doing exactly the opposite, why? >> because it works and it has always worked. we believe that money is best in the hands of the people not in the hands of government. government has a limited capacity and should do no more than that capacity. an unfortunate there are others that believe the government the answer to all problems. we have seen through the course of history that does not work out that way but we have lowered taxes to the lowest level in recorded history. lesser of the second most growth in recorded history, 12%. we feel it is appropriate in the right thing to do, to pass on some of that success to our residents who are dealing with, as you said historic inflation.

security investigation, dea, coastal inspections, state and locals, they all work together. they worked with canada, they coordinate with the state department to 5 million-dollar award for this a chinese national who was indicted in this case a. it was part of the first ever indictment announcement by the department of justice on chinese transnational criminals killing american kids, lj. this thing is historic and i applaud the effort of all of the law enforcement. we started this operation deadly merchant back in 2014 at my old operation because we started seeing all these deaths around the country. they did incredible work identified to the internet purchases. and they wiped out this northwest american cell. but it was killing people in north carolina. they were killing people around this country. it was a great, great effort, lj. >> that joint task force saved a lot of lives. i want to move onto this other

other story out of chicago. chicago health officials urge lollapalooza attendees to test their drugs for fentanyl. not listen to the statement this is from chicago department of public health. it says attention chicago and lollapalooza fans. fentanyl is a strong opioid that can easily cause overdose protest your drugs before you use them. do not use alone. call 911 if you suspect someone is overdosing, get fentanyl test strips and e-mail. i'm just saying we are in a big crisis appeared i always urge these young people do not experiment. to think this is taking a step too far? >> lj, this is totally terrible messaging to the kids. how about telling them fentanyl is going to cause immediate death, do not use. because now it's a very misleading pride that the problem a lot of misleading

messaging. right now fentanyl, yes, it's a very strong opioid but is killing americans like we have never seen in the history of the country. the department of health is responsible for putting out this mixed message. because now there will be kids that by fentanyl strips. they will buy nicam and think it's okay to use his poisonous substances coming from these labs in mexico and in china. we really have to get to messaging. but where is our washington messaging question record the public service announcements question but that is the bigger problem, where's the department of education? charlie silent because of the issues with the politics of china and the mexican southwest border which is wide open and we have an invasion in this country. knowing what to talk about it. lawrence: the dea said over 40% the drugs are laced with fentanyl. you would think there'd be some type of national movement from the commander-in-chief on this issue. i guess not.
