>> we're learning more at the moment about what fbi seized from the unprecedented raid at former president trump's mar-a-lago home on monday. after the search warrant was unsealed yesterday. >> the warrant giving agents authority to seize more than two dozen boxes of documents, which trump said were all declassified. >> kevin is live? washington with the latest. >> good morning, guys. friday's search warrant and property receipt was a rare step in a federal investigation. while that's true, it's also important to point out that a supporting affidavit, which would certainly explain why investigators believe the former president to be in violation of federal law by keeping the documents over at mar-a-lago, that remained under seal. the items recovered includes 27 boxes, 11 of which contain so-called classified documents. four sets marked top secret, which is the highest level

classification that the government can offer. three were marked secret, which is the second highest level and another three marked confidential. that's the lowest classification level. there had been suggestions that the feds are considering using the espionage act of 1917 and it makes it illegal to obtain information, capture photographs, or copy descriptions of any information related to national defense. here's the key, with the intent for that information to be used against the united states or for the gain of any foreign nation. good luck with that. as for the raid itself, the vice president said she's good with it. >> well, as a former prosecutor, i'll tell you i don't speak about anybody else's case, but i have full confidence that the department of justice will do what the facts of the law require. >> how about the former

president? well, he issued a statement on friday saying number one, it was all declassified. number two, they didn't need to seize anything. they could have had it any time they wanted without playing politics and breaking into mar-a-lago. it was in secure storage with an additional lock put on as per their request. they could have had it any time they want it, and that includes long ago. all they had to do was ask. hear's another view from a attorney -- here's another view from a attorney watching it all unfold. >> i think what we're seeing in the biggest level here is a separate set of rules for president trump. the president is the ultimate declassifier and has full authority. if a document has a marking, ts, secret, whatever, it's entirely historic. it means it was at some point. it doesn't mean it's currently even remotely a violation of any law. this idea that there was a breakdown in communications and

that justifies a search warrant is whole cloth fiction. >> that really is something. incredibly bright guy and interesting to listen to. among the items taken by the feds, binder of photos, a handwritten note, and the executive grant of clemency for roger stone and alleged information about the president of france. there's a lot of folks that feel very conflicted about what on earth the doj was thinking in pulling this off. we'll have to keep watching and hoping, i think i speak for most americans, to see what happens when that affidavit finally is made public, guys. >> excellent report from kevin court. good morning. >> thank you. >> guys, good to see you both again. >> so good to be back. >> this story is something we'll be covering throughout the morning, and the details of which we'll dive into. what exactly are the merits of the search warrant, what does it mean to invoke the espionage

act. this is not about classified documents. this story is about an unequal application of the law. that's what we always have to remember. it seems like adduces traction to bring up hunter biden or hillary clinton. it's not. it's the crux of the issue. why is the law applied in some situations and why is the law ignored in other situations. >> that's right. and i think that a lot of people who live in countries that were free and then were not free will tell you they've seen this play book before. that this absolutely looks like those in power are going after their political enemies and you're absolutely right, it is the unequal justice in this. here is john rat cliff, former director of national intelligence speaking about that re-sighsly. -- precisely. >> the fbi and doj took the

position that when hillary clinton was in possession of classified documents with secret, top secret, compartmented information outside of a secure fillty. in possession of that wasn't enough and being grossly negligent and careless, james comey said that wasn't enough. you have to know you're violating the law and he couldn't prove hillary clinton was violate the law and couldn't be charged. >> will, you're right. don't miss the forest for the trees. what's the goal to hit trump and indict him and get him from running in 2024. >> it says box labeled a1, box label, a12. if you look at the third line of what they were looking for: any government or presidential record created between january 20th, 2017 and january 20, 2021. this was a fishing expedition to find anything they could -- i

don't know a lot about search warrants because i haven't done one in a civilian context. if your goal is to find one crime and find another, you can follow that rabbit trail to find anything they can against their most dangerous political opponent. >> some people have said exactly what you're saying and other people have said, well, maybe trump saved documents that were dangerous or, you know, that were dangerous to the fbi. that were information maybe about hillary or the fbi itself. could that be it, they're trying to get back documents he has on them? is that a possibility or is it so simple like you said? >> in the realm of what is their motivation and as we'll talk about throughout the morning. the best that we can do is apply history. historical standards of what have they done in the past, what has been inconsist, and what has been consist. we'll begin with robert charles and former secretary of state

for george bush and he served under reagan and bush 41. good morning and thank you for being with us. perhaps we can start with historical context. everyone it week used the word unprecedented. as you're seeing the events unfold this week, what's your reaction? >> i think it is unprecedented and there's not a time in our republic's history, as you all know, when you have had a former president essentially had his home turned upside down and first lady's wardrobe turned upside down. 30 agents show up with long guns, nine hours. the fourth amendment is very clear, it allows all of us to be protected in our homes and to be secure from unreasonable search and seizure, and now a former president of the united states, they've got threostat cutes, the espionage and why did they abandon the normal process. there's a subpoena, the president fully complied with a subpoena in may.

there's a chance at a second subpoena. sounds like there was a dialogue going on there and all the sudden in the middle of a midterm election cycle when this january 6 hearing business is done, they pull the trigger and ask, why is all this happening? the answer has to be found somewhere either it's politics or exiting circumstances that required this kind of an act. it seems hard to believe there are any circumstances that would require this kind of an action, but if you look at it again and ask what could they be, you have to also ask why did they delay this for two weeks if there were circumstances and why did tram's attorney not get to look at the search warrant and why did they turn off all the cameras and when it was all said and done, did they walk away essentially with all the boxes they had previously seen in may. it is true, i was an intelligence officer, you can have ts, cs documents but under title 36, the president is

spited to fully de--- entitled to declassified documents but it's record but he's entitled to declassify any documents he wants or to classify. it's a very peculiar turn of events and you want right to the point a moment ago. it's all about motivation. presidents from obama back through job george washington took various documents home after an election cycle and they're out of office. the real question is what in the world are we doing raiding a president's home, turning it upside down. you know, this business too there's a rumor out there about some sort of nuclear documents in here and again, the facts don't seem to support that. they may in time but if you look at the boxes, they're labeled confident, secret, ts and ci. confidential is one way to look at highly classified information, which at one time was highly classified but sap

would be nuclear information and i don't see anything indicating that. in the end, you step back 20 paces and i traveled around the world for colin powell telling countries don't mix politics with justice. no one is above the fair administration of the law but is this a fair administration of the law when you pour in on a former president in the middle of an election cycle with long guns? it looks like third-world operation and every american should be concerned. if they can do this to a former president, you can do this to you and me and everyone out there. >> robert, you were secretary of state and probably have many contacts in foreign countries. what do they think about this? >> i think they're looking at it and they're likely appalled. i keep contact with a lot of countries and a lot of our good friends, and i think to see this kind of an act, this sort of

show trial -- well, this kind of demonstrated sort of theater where you pour in with cars and guns and go into a former president's home, i mean, this looks like the worst of the worst. i've been in 50 countries, many of them unstable countries, and it's not surprising to see politics infiltrate and infect the political process there. this is the united states of america. the fourth amendment has meaning or has no meaning. if it doesn't have meaning with respect to a former president, when does it have meaning? imagine president obama brought some 30 million pages home with him as the president noted. it isn't just obama. presidents bring things back, i mean bush, clinton, bush 41, reagan, carter, ford, nixon, johnson, maybe not kennedy but eisenhower and truman and all had documents that were important and talk about giving them back. it's not as if it was a criminal

act and by the way, most boxes are packed by staff, not by the president. >> absolutely. robert, real quick, merrick garland took to the podium and said he knew of this and approved it. the raiding of a home of a former president, would that not raise to the level of awareness of joe biden? would not the president know that? >> very, very good question. when something is this politically sensitive, and it wouldn't matter what administration or what prior president, if something were this sensitive, you have to believe it was pushed to the very top. by the way, this is no fault of the line agents. this is no fault of the fbi's line agents. i think people need to understand that. this was a political act. it bothers me enormously because the fourth amendment looks to me presumptively to be violated. unless you find something absolutely extraordinary, there's a lot to be answering for. >> robert charles, extent information and perspective this morning. thank you for joining us on "fox

& friends". >> thank you. >> news alert. an attack on stage in western new york yesterday. >> rush d drew death threats from iran for three decades and is hospitalized after sustaining three stab wounds. >> alexandria, good morning. >> yeah, the author is fighting for his life and at last update he was on a ventilator after being stabbed in the neck and abdomen and this took place in front of roughly 2500 people as the 75-year-old was taking the stage to give the lecture in new york. witnesses and first responders rushed in to assist. >> people from the first few rounds of the amp ran up on stage to help subdue the man, and i did speak with one man who did that and he said, it was a stab wound to his neck. there was a lot of blood, and he did not look good. >> police have identified the suspect as the alleged attacker.

at 24 years old, born ten years after rushdie published his book. the attack was seen as blahs fade pattern mouse when his published his book. rushdie was living openly as a champion of a freedom of expression. >> it was an incident unlike nearly anything in our history. we were founded to bring together community and to learn and in doing so to create solutions through action. today now we're called to take on fear in the worst of all human traits, hate. >> state and federal authorities are working to find an exact motive for the attack and new york governor cathy hochul said

this. >> we're undeterred to make sure we call it out, we condemn what happened, we condemn all violence, and we want people to feel that freedom to speak and to write truth. >> the white house issued a statement calling the attack reprehensible and appalling. will, rachel, pete. >> thank you, alexandria. >> nerves and arms severed, eye possible lost on a ventilator and celebrated in iran. >> it's worth mentioning that the iranian regime as early as 2019 reaffirmed wishing death on rushdie. >> this administration wants to get in more deals with them also. >> kathy hochul, we condemn all violence. this islamist that attacked rushdie and was almost completely successful and we hope he pulls through. coming up, the mar-a-lago raid dominated the news cycle,

there's a mexico policy that may have ended this week. a humanitarian flood gate has been opened and we're joined live on it. >> americans are paying an extra $700 a month thanks to inflation as democrats pass their $700 billion spending bill. bil. the white house thanking them with cookies. the spending madness, that's next.

atlas and i lost our mom after six dais of almost unbelievable emotional swings. i'm left with a deep, wordless sadness. hopefully my mom is free from pain and beginning to explore what i like to imagine as her eternal freedom". she was hospitalized for the past six days after driving her car 90 miles per hour into a home. video obtained by tmz showed heche driving fast and narrowly hitting a pedestrian before crash into the home causing her car and the house to go up in flames. police say she was high on cocaine at the time of the crash. the owner of the home that was destroyed suffered minor injuries but lost everything. so far she's received more than $140,000 in donations to help her recover. heche had been vocal over the years about her struggle with substance abuse and mental health. she's known for her stint on "dancing with the stars" six

days seven nights" and her ex-girlfriend ellen de-generus. >> bad news. thank you. inflation added up to an extra $717 a month. >> i thought it was zero? >> zero for august or july? i thought inflation was over. that's what biden told me? >> it's going to get lower because of the inflation reduction act that was passed.e. will: joint economic committee and republicans released a statement while prices did not change from june to july and prices increased 13.3% from january 2021 to july 2022 costing the average american household as we said $717 in july alone.

pete: people drove less in july and gas prices dropped as a result of less people being on the road yet food, rent, everything else you dig into the numbers are all up. people are still feeling the bite of inflation. when you actually look at the numbers and you look at your own life and what you're spending, the reality is that it's l. we're talking on a raid on a political opponent's home right now, and the white housements it that way so we're not talking about inflation. here's how joe biden attempted to sib decent numbers meaning zero inflation they say in the month of july. here's what he said, "today the american people won, special interest lost. the passage of the inflation reduction act in the house. families will see lower prescription drug prices and lower energy and home costs and i look forward to signing it into law next week".

they're calling it the inflakesn reduction act which spends a ton of money and hires tons of new irs agents. rachel: they've shone it's going to be -- should be it's on middle and low income people they said. i just got back from wisconsin, you were out in the midwest, this is not just a tax on americans, it's an even larger tax on rural americans. so the people who aren't driving that you're talking about, those are a lot of people who need to drive. i also think about when i was, you know, younger and single, the gas prices would have prevented me from a lot of jobs that i had to do. i had to drive far to get to my jobs. it wouldn't have been worth it to me -- i was a substitute teacher, i wouldn't have been able to drive that distance to go substitute teach at these jobs when i lived in the city. i think about a lot of these things and just getting back from the midwest, people are

hurting. i know that president biden and hunter biden and jill biden are all staying at some fancy mansion off the coast of the carolinas in some donor's million dollar home, but i'll tell you what, people are really, really hurting in america. will: you're right, pete, it's flying under the radar because of the raid on mar-a-lago. but several democrats have tried to run out the talking point that inflation is theoretical and it's an academic concept that doesn't apply to the average americans. meanwhile in washington, they're sending chocolate chip cookies to house democrats as a thank you in an effort for passing the bill. larry kudlow was talking about what rachel just laid out, the impact on middle class americans. larry: this bill is another massive attack in the war against fossil fuels. it's a huge give away to special interest groups and wealthy

individuals in the name of global warming. meanwhile middle class families will face a sizable tax hike. those earning less than $100,000 a year face a probable 77% higher taxes. there's a new epa slush fund government bank, just what we need, a new government bank. there's 87,000 irs agents apparently armed to the teeth. they're going to chase after co--called unreported income from middle and lower income folks, uber drivers, gig economy, waitresses, and unincorporated small businesses. it is a pathetic piece of legislation. it is the wrong bill at the wrong time for the wrong country. will: did you guys also notice, it was only called inflation reduction about before the bill passed. the minute it was passed it was celebrated by the new york times and everyone in the mainstream media as a climate change

reduction bill. pete: absolutely and all those that voted go the a shiny little cookie as a result. can we get 87,000 new irs agents and some of which need to be willing to use deadly force. can we get 87,000 school resource officers to secure our schools. rachel: or border patrol? pete: any of it. this is subsidies for green energy and it'll put more pressure on the oil and gas industry. it's going to make inflation worse. rachel: the green energy poll that she is will enrich the donors of the democrat partim i had a friend who was just in california traveling to palm springs saying these giant windmills weren't even turning because there was no wind. try getting rid of those, it's a environmental disaster. pete: the big wigs will be using the government bank. will: this will now increase the

number of irs agents to just about 170,000, which is more than border patrol, fbi, and state department combined for the irs. pete: wow. rachel: and they're going to be armed, which i still want -- why is there not a hearing about that? i'm totally confused. pete: i don't understand why the irs needs to buy crates of ammo. can anybody put that together for me? rachel: if you did that, maybe the fbi would show up at your home. pete: i'm buying crates of ammo. will, that's where it all is. it's in tennessee. buses of migrants arrived in new york city. rachel: we're hitting the lanes this morning to celebrate national bowling day, but which friend will strike out the rest?

border region is overwhelming, and these local tax bases cannot afford to keep paying for this open border. pete: and so why is texas not allowed to care about that but when it comes to new york city or washington dc when they're bussed here, shelters and other institutions in those cities say, we're overwhelmed and can't handle it and what about our own citizens and ultimately it show when is you allow illegality to be the rule of law, as the democrats do, you get chaos and our systems are totally overwhelmed. >> well, pete, years ago in civic and government classes, when you have no constitution, you have total chaos. as we have quit abiding by our constitution, then chaos is what we have on our international

border with mexico right now. over 2,000 miles of border, like i say in this region, are seeing extreme numbers, and once they get their walking papers, they're just dumped back into the communities along this border who cannot afford to sustain this policy cause they're stretched to the limit. they've got to do something for relief. pete: as if things are not bad enough, the biden administration now says that trump's remain in mexico policy is over. individualscan wait in the u.s. for their court dates after the judge lifted rules requiring them stay south of the border. border counters fiscal year to date 2022, 1.7 million. now you have the end of remain in mexico. so come on across and stay here for years for your court date. how does this affect an already porous border? >> yes, like you say, again the

influx of people in these communities are draining what little support they get from the federal government, if any, and we have some counties that can't even stock their ems personnel and ambulances because they've used all their money transporting illegal aliens from the border to the hospitals in nearby counties. it's an extreme situation on the border. when the state of texas stands up and says, enough is enough, people in the interior of this country need to know that we're doing something because something has to be done. these sheriffs work 24 hours a day trying to sustain the protection of lives and properties in their communities, and they're just overwhelmed. we just need relief.

pete: you've been abandoned by the federal government and when you have to use the limited resources you have for illegals, those resources are not available or diminished for citizens of this country, which is just tragic to watch. clint mcdonald, thank you for what you do and sharing your perspective this morning. >> thank you. pete: fbi unsealed the warrant seizing classified material. a constitutional attorney answers our questions on that topic coming up next. plus, it is a super moon and we have the stunning photos coming up next.

that as recently as five years ago, there was pretty much a bipartisan, broad coalition of not just politicians but attorneys who said the president of the united states has the ability to declassify anything. is that the law? >> yeah, i think that is the law because remember, the founding fathers as you know from your legal experience, the founding fours put the power of the commander in chief of the armed forces in the power of the white house. the president of the united states, the one person elected by all of the people across the country, and that power and that authority was given to president trump when he was the president, the commander in chief so the question is, what is confidential? what is sensitive? what is top secret? what is classified? who makes that decision? at the end of the day, that decision is always made by the president of the united states, the commander in chief as to what should be classified and what should not be classified.

when president trump effectively took any documents that arguably could be classified, which i would say is a debatable proposition and took them from the white house, he declassified them by acting as such. at the end of the day, the president decides what's declassified. will: is there any legal loophole in what you just described, if he took them. when he took them, if he took documents to mar-a-lago, he effectively declassified them? is there any formal procedure that's required that could have perhaps before overlooked meaning that the documents were not declassified? >> i think there's really two arguments on the other side, will. first of all, there is an argument that says that there is a regulatory process to declassify documents. yes, that is true but the question is, who does that process apply to? if you are the decision maker, meaning the president, really that regulatory process created by unelected bureaucrats really

cannot trump. your constitutional authority given to you by the people through a national election. the second argument i would say, will, is again, if you think about this -- if you look at the statutes cited in the warrant, some do not require the documents be classified, just have to be government property touching on national defense concerns and argument to the debate of whether it's classified or not might not be legally relevant if president trump were to be charged with a criminal statute of the one cited in this because not all of them require classifying. will: quickly, that sets an interesting proposition. the statutes being cited are legislative law that seem to put into conflict the constitution of the united states if the president has this executive power granted to him in the constitution. in other words, are these statutes constitutional? that seems like a fight that is at the end of the rainbow and

seems like the end of this entire story. >> that's right. if you read the statutes, will, really what you're clearly talking about is they're trying to some people from spying on the united states government and turning events over to our enemies. that's clearly the driving jazz of these statutes. as to how they apply to the commander in chief who has the authority over classified documentation, no one ever thought this was would come up, but why would it? will: right. what i'm getting at and i appreciate your perspective this morning and we're looking at probably down the road somewhere before the supreme court of the united states, were the legal process to play itself out, as to whether or not congress can control the president on the ability to declassify documents. mark smith, thank you so much for being with us this morning. >> thanks, will. will: rachel, over to you. rachel: thank you, will. we'll turn to a few headlines. 14 people are hurt after a car crash intoed a restaurant in

arlington, virginia, yesterday. eight victims were transported to local hospitals and four of those victims have critical injuries. another six patients were streeted at the scene and police say the crash caused a fire that has since been extinguished and they're investigating what led to the crash. the final super-moon of 2022 has the world in awe as it illuminated the night sky from thursday till last night. the moon will remain visible in this phase throughout the morning with the various hues hs and tremendous size seen throughout the world. only four more full moons will a cur this year with one -- occur this year with one this month. rick, wasn't that beautiful? >> that's nice. the moon closer to the earth so it appears bigger. absolutely beautiful. let's take a look at the weather. so much flooding we've been talking about a lot and temperature wise, it feels like

66, it is 66 degrees right now in new york, 62 in raleigh. it has been so hot and humid, we've been breaking all kinds of records for high temperatures and enjoy this weekend. feels a little bit like fall. behind a front that's moved through the area and now it's down across parts of florida and we've seen really heavy rain in florida this morning across the area and some areas picking up 6-7 inches causing flooding. there's one disturbance in the western gulf. a bit of a re-ation and could develop into something -- re-ation and could develop into something tropical and we'll watch for some flooding there over the next couple of days. rachel, back to you. rachel: thank you, rick. well, it's national bowling day, and we're celebrating on fox square as always with a friendly competition coming up.

totally anecdotal, my nephews who are teenagers are sort of into bowling. is it on the upswing and are more people getting into bowling today? >> yes, 67 million people went bowling last year so it's really on the -- yeah. everybody loves bowling. rachel: it's trending. >> it is. pete: you can go to gobowling.com and print out a free round of bowling anywhere in america? >> well, a participating center. pete: you're all over the place? >> yes, we have 3700 centers in the united states that are members. bowling dates back to ancient egypt. rachel: dates down bowling balls. they found them in the pyramids? >> we have ancient bowling equipment on display at the museum in arlington, texas.

will: absolutely gorgeous shot above charlotte, north carolina, on this saturday morning. welcome in to "fox & friends". reunited and it feels so good.

rachel campose, pete and me back together again. rachel: good morning. the band is back together and -- but it wasn't easy getting the band back together. you got a little lost, will. will: i did. i had, you know, i travel almost every week and i've had very good luck till this week. i flew to iowa for the field of dreams game that's covered on fox, and i was delayed until the middle of the night, which was only half of the nightmare because once i got to iowa, i didn't have any clothes. the airline had lost my bag and american airlines still has not found it. pete: still don't have it? will: still do not have it. pete: somewhere in the corn field. will: yeah, i don't know if they dropped it in the corn field or it's stuck somewhere in who knows what city usa but i had to go buy clothes and the producers bought me nice clothes.

rachel: yeah, the tag is still on it. will: should i keep this shirt so i left the tag on it. the vote was yes, keep it. pete: you got these for us too? will: yeah. pete: you got a flamingo shirt for us in iowa? will: that might have come from new york city. rachel: you got me a -- i love a v neck so i appreciate that. will: knew that. rachel: this is perfect for bowling day. this would be a great bowling shirt so my vote is keep. will: maybe we'll break it down later in the show when we hit the lanes. pete: do you have clothes now? you haven't been home? will: everything i'm wearing now is clean but for the first time in three days. rachel: what's the bag about here? will: the producers got me mesoties i believe. necessities i believe. it's tooth paste. i need some socks.

okay. good. you know what happens. i got a shaving kit. rachel: a hair brush. will: hair brush. ax body spray. lookout, ladies. pete: a lot has to do with scent. will: thank you to the producers, it's not only appreciated but necessary. rachel: both of you should have emergency bags in your offices in case something like that happens. pete: i have a emergency bag but not in my office. rachel: yeah. producers, we need a second bag here. pete: and the game was cool i bet? will: it's awesome. it's a beautiful location. it lives up to the hype. it is a field of dreams. rachel: wow, all right. we're going to go straight to a fox news alert. we are learning more about what the fbi seized from the unprecedented raid at former president trump's mar-a-lago home on monday after the search warrant was unsealed yesterday. pete: the warrant giving agents

authority to seize more than two dozen boxes of documents, which trump says were all already declassified. will: kevin cork is live in washington and he has the latest this morning. morning, kevin. >> morning, guys. released a warrant and property receipt and, yes, that is a rare step in a federal investigation. not released and still under seal, a supporting affidavit, which would obviously explain why investigators believe the former president to be in violation of federal law by keeping documents over at mar-a-lago. here's what we know. removed from the property down there in the great state of florida, 27 boxes, 11 of which contained classified documents, including four sets that were allegedly marked top secret. there had been some suggestions that the feds are considering using the espionage act to target the former president, but when you read it you learn pretty quickly that theirs would be a very steep hill to climb. consider this.

it says yes, it's illegal to cob anoinformation -- obtain information, capture photographs or take information related to national defense with the intent for that information to be used against the united states or for the gain of any foreign nation. good luck with that. however, vp kamala harris seems content with what the doj did. >> well, as a former prosecutor, i will tell you i don't speak about anybody else's case, but i have full confidence that the department of justice will do what the action of law requires. >> as for the former president, he issued a statement friday that read in part, number one it was all declassified. number two, they didn't need to seize anything. they could have had it any time they wanted without playing politics and breaking into mar-a-lago. it was in secured storage with an additional lock put on as per

their request. they could have had it any time they wanted, and that includes long ago. all they had to do was ask. indeed there are those on the trump legal team who think this whole exercise is a fishing expedition. >> he was confused as to why they were there. he had just seen him in june and said everything was fine but could you put another lock on it and we'll be good. it's absurd. he declassified documents and he was coordinating with nara and at the end of the day, we now know for a fact, this is about documents, documents he's allowed them access to. >> pretty interesting to see how this is all unfolding and among the items taken by the feds: binders, a photo, and a handwritten note and executive grant of clemency by roger stone. it was produced after a nine hour rummage through the property.

a lot of people are wondering to what end. will: great point. 30 officers for nine hours and that's 270 man hours for two boxes. incredible. pete: and a wide swath they could have been looking at. kevin, thank you for that report. rachel: it's amazing how much range they had over the property, including into where melania's closet was. by the way, i can understand wanting to raid melania's closet personally, but i was talking to my husband, sean, and he's like if somebody went through your closet, as a man, it would be so offensive. there was no need to do that. again, using the espionage act, you can think whatever you want about donald trump, does anyone believe that donald trump doesn't love this country and that he would take documents he was going to somehow share with a foreign country that was an adversary of ours? will: they've been conducting their own version of that for

six years. rachel: yeah, but no one really believes that. will: to the point of the espionage act, a 1917 law, this is an example of not just the media but your institutions in the fbi spinning this in the most salacious manner possible. it's true the espionage act does include the potential spying on the united states of america, it also can include documents like the presidential daily operation. it could be covered in the espionage act recovery process. in other words what did the president do today? it can be trivial and gray. your media and institutions like the fbi will spin in the most salacious manner possible that it's about nuclear codes. the real question is what if they come up with nothing? bring in ian prior and he's a former doj person and fighting for school executives. what if at the end of the trail, the doj and fbi don't come up

with much to use against donald trump? >> yeah, certainly i think that is a very strong possibility at this point in time. they have really gone out on a limb. they are essentially compromised so if they do not get what they are looking for or trying to sell to the american people, i don't know how merrick garland remains attorney general of this november, especially if as we expect, republicans take the house of representatives because this is the second thing we've seen from him. the first time was when he authorized the department of justice and the fbi to investigate parents at school board meetings, and now we have this. those are two big strikes against him and how does he maintain the credibility of his department. pete: let's say you were there when the attorney general authorized a raid on a former president's home, who could be a future candidate as well. you said 30 agents for nine hours with the mandate to look

for anything, any document that existed over his four years as president. if you were the attorney general in that position, would you have looped in the president? would the president have made that call? did joe biden know this? >> at least white house council's office would have been informed. there is no way that you're going to do something of this historic magnitude without informing the white house. we're not talking about, you know, an indictment in the southern district of new york of some drug dealer here. we are talking about something of major historic significance. now, look, the warrant was issued on friday. they didn't do anything till monday. think about this for a second. on sunday what happened in the senate passes the inflation reduction act. there's no way there's no coordination saying, hey, let's hold out of on this until we have this thing safely passed through the senate. it wouldn't make sense. rachel: ian, i talked to a lot of conservatives around the country, they're outraged.

it's obvious, we've had people on our show, guest who is are outraged. do you feel like congress, the leaders in congress, it wasn't just what happened to donald trump. there was a cell phone that was confiscated by a member of congress in public while with his family at the airport. i can't even imagine this. are you surprise there had hasn't been more outrage from congress. i think it was marjory green that was going to file impeachment charges against merrick garland. it seems to me surprisingly muted the reaction. >> well, you know, i wonder if there's some shock here preventing a sort of less-muted reaction. this all happened so quickly from monday to thursday when merrick garland finally comes out with like 72 hours after the fact, and everyone's expecting this big news from him and all he cause is really just spin;

right. stop attacking the fbi, stop attacking my institution, and then finally on friday is when we get the warrant. there's a lot going on but, yeah, i think that this is a five alarm fire when it comes to checks and balances when it comes to credibility with the department of justice and credibility with the bureau of investigation and merrick garland has done more to stain that than anyone in history. will: you're executive director of fight for school. we wanted to ask you about two issues regarding education in the news cycle and one is the education secretary miguel saying in a tweet, to address the teacher shortage, we must address the teacher respect issue in the country. we must stop normalizing not providing teachers with adequate resources to be successful. there's a lack of respect for teachers in our country. >> well, i'll tell you what, i've talked to a bunch of

teachers, and the discipline issues in schools is what is causing teachers to leave. i mean, you have school systems that are basically reworking their discipline system in the name of social justice. so a kid will do something in class that normally would get that kid sent home or suspendedd instead goes to the principal's office and an hour later he's back in class. that's the teacher burnout andmenting to find a new -- wanting to find a new profession. the failure to back them up when it comes to discipline. pete: restorative justice meaning the teacher can't discipline. haven't the teachers brought this on themselves too? not individual teachers but unions and others have stained the view of what's happening in a lot of our public schools. >> yeah, they really have. going back to school closures, mask mandates, vaccine mandates, the teacher's union is not there to protect teachers and protect

their love of teaching. it's there to advocate for their big group block and making sure the unions have money so they can go and second in elections and make sure they get elected who they want. what they don't care about is kids. teacher's unions don't care about kids. there's no model where there's any kind of relationship that's important. teacher's unions are out for themselves. rachel: yeah. ian prior, you were someone on the ground fighting this and pulling back the curtain of what's happening with teacher'sdownon and denned -- union and defending parents. thank you. pete: any time someone goes give me respect. that means you've done something that leads me to believe you should not be respected at every level. will, i say that in the hallway all the time. respect. will: you do. it's your constant refrain, why don't you give me more respect?

rachel: all right. well i'm watching this and not realizing i need to go to headlines. fox news alert, author rushdie was violently attacked on stage during a lecture in new york yesterday. will: he drew death threats from iran for three decades and remains hospitalized after sustainingng 15 stab wounds. we're live with the latest this latest. alexandria. >> the 75-year-old's liver was punctured and suffered severe nerve damage to his arm and will likely lose an eye. he was attacked in front of a crowd of roughly 2500 people taking the stage. witnesses and first responders immediately jumped in to offer aid. >> people from the first few rounds ran up on stage to help subdue the man, and i did speak

with one man who did that and he said it was a stab wound to his neck, there was a lot of blood, and he did not look good. >> police have identified the suspect of fairview, new jersey, and wearing all black and a mas and can had a ticket for the mask. he was born ten years after rushdie published his book. while a motive in the attack sun clear right now, the 1988 novel was seen as blahs fade pattern y muslims. he's lived more openly as a prom prominent champion of freedom of expression. >> what we experienced at chautauqua today is unlike anything in our nearly 150 year history. we were founded to bring people together in community to learn

and in doing so, create solutions through action. today now we're called to take on fear in the worst of all human traits: hate. >> while providing security for the event, a state trooper was able to immediately apprehend the suspect and they believe he was acting alone. new york governor kathy hochul condemned the attack and the white house call it had reprehensible and appalling. will, rachel, pete. rachel: thank you very much. pete: a few additional headlines. authorities are digging into the social media account of ricky schiffer, the man armed with an ar-15-style rifle attempting to break into the office friday. authorities say he called on his followers to attack federal agents and the fbi previously received information on the suspect but did not specify what that was. the 42-year-old was shot and

killed after a six hour standoff in ohio. to a fox weather alert, more heavy rains flooding las vegas just two weeks after monsoon-like rain soaked the city. you can see rain leaking from the ceiling at cesar's palace. water also pouring into other casinos on the famous strip. flash flooding creating major traffic issues with standing water blocking roads. for the latest information, download the fox weather app or stream fox weather on a tv connected device. the famous globe theater in london is reworking joan ark as a nonbinary character. it'll have another view of they/them pronouns and it's not sitting well with many familiar with the joan of ark story.

one person saying "rewriting her as not female and presenting it as progress is a massive disappointment". another saying how dare the globe try to cancel history's inspirational women. those are your headlines. rachel: that story makes my blood boil as a catholic and as a woman, it is just so outrageous, but that's where we're at. she was a woman. will: what if you took this to an inevitable extreme. cast amelia earhart as nonbinary. let's take feminism and recast it in the light of binary gender fluidity. pete: it's toxic masculinity to do that.

rachel: that's saying the best were men. that's what they're saying. women need to stand up and very few women -- if you notice the age bracket of the women standing up, they're my age and older. the younger generation, i know you hate when i bash the younger gin ration, will, but they've totally bought into this and they don't mind it. it's real feminist and women who care about women that are my age and up who are really concerned about what this all means for our gender. will: it's the death of feminism. rachel: i'm not a womb or a person with a womb, i'm a woman. pete: i could be a birthing person too. will: coming up, president biden will sit down with chinese leader xi jinping this november adds china ramps up its rhetoric against taiwan. rachel: speaking of china, biden's scandal plagued son hunter is having fun in the sun

despite federal investigation. pete: is he under investigation? rachel: i know, that's a good question, actually.

sit down with chinese leader xi jinping this november. the high stakes meeting comes as china's invasion looms over the island nation of taiwan. here with reaction is senior fellow at the gate stone institute and author of "the coming collapse of china and the great u.s., tech war". gordon chang. great to speak to you. this is the first meeting between president biden and xijinping after the reaction and is this the right sort of circumstances around a meeting like this in your opinion and your expertise? >> yeah, this is not a good time to talk to the chinese. remember they just cut offlines of communication on various topics including military to military cooperation. you know, this is going to blaka

real bonanza for the chinese because while we're in par participation of talks, we're delaying what we need to do. we need to impose those talks to give china an incentive to talk to us in good faith. the biden team just doesn't do that. rachel: yeah, it's interesting. one thing they said they're not going to talk about anymore with you is climate change as we dig ourselves deeper into the climate business here in the united states with this so called inflation reduction act, which is actually a climate bill, the biggest one ever. i want to move to nancy pelosi's son paul. we know that he was on the trip that she took to asia including in taiwan. taiwan, and we also know he had some pretty big deals in china and asia. what do you think about this and why do you think nancy pelosi went through such great lengths to keep her son off the

documents manifest showing he was traveling with her? >> well, paul pelosi jr. should not have gone with the speaker even though the speaker's husband couldn't accompany here. there's no reason. paul pelosi jr. has been given a lot of money and stock for basically nothing more than being the son of the speaker of the house. you know, this really invokes this hunter biden where, you know, chinese entities shoveled money and assets to him merely because he was joe biden's son. this is a real problem. i know people talk about jared kushner and ivanka trump but remember they were involved in real business before donald trump ran for president. the speaker's son, he just should not have been on the plane. rachel: yeah, it shows a lot of arrogance on the speaker's part that in the whole context of hunter biden, she took her son and feels like there's not going to be any consequences. i want to move to tiktok. you say tiktok is a communist

tool that our country should blame it. i want you to explain why you think tiktok is being used to undermine our country. >> first of all, tiktok has been used to illegally obtain data from american and lots of data and tiktok has been lying about it and bejing using tiktok as propaganda narratives and they used it to promote violence in protest in the u.s. and in year they're using it to amplify russian disinformation about the ukraine war. this ask a national security threat and by the way, why should we allow chinese apps in our country when china doesn't allow american apps in china. rachel: great point. gordon chang, i wish the white house would listen a little more to your advice. thanksfor joining this morning. >> thanks, rachel. rachel: still ahead, stepping up to the plate, brian kilmeade's

little league team is stepping up to the plate. he breaks it down, next.

>> welcome back to -- rachel: welcome back to "fox & friends" and turn now to chief meteorologist rick. rick: the everglades are this amazing system that is getting challenged by burmese pythons. i went and did a python hunt. there's a python challenge and they're trying to get rid of pythons in the area. you do this at night, go out about 9:00 at night till about 3:00 in the morning basically with flashlights and hands. will: you don't use a gun?

rick: flashlights and hands and you sit in the truck and then jump out and grab it when you see it. this whole package will air tomorrow. pete: that's a wild python? rick: yeah, it's a wild python. the package is airing tomorrow. will: am i correct in this, the entire python population of florida is from pets that got released and then became native. they're not native to florida. rick: that's the entire problem, they're not native to there and they have no real predators and they're killing all the stuff that's naturally -- rachel: what do they kill? >> all the birds and alligators and reptiles. they have people who's full-time job is to hunt the pythons year round and once a year the challenge ends tomorrow night. will: i cannot wait to see that tomorrow. cannot wait. pete: rick the snake hunter. rachel: crocodile dundee. will: our next guest does not

like snakes. >> don't bring it out any further. might not go back. >> watch the rest of the show if we survive. pick it up on "fox & friends".com. good knob, brian. i want to watch that. will: here's the deal, the snake guy is running around too and steve is so chill. pete: break down the clip for us? did the snake escape? >> yes, the snake is in the studio right now. that's why we're outside. no, that literally -- they said, oh, you can take him out. i did not know that everybody was as scared of snakes except the guy holding the basket and next thing you know, it got loss and we were running for our lives there. that was -- rachel: did steve go

to pick it up. >> that's not steve. that was the snake train. will: that was two animal guys. >> steve's like 100 feet away. we had the weekend guys lined up on the side in case something did happen saying the show must go on. pete: look at us on the couch. >> don't love snakes. pete: brine -- brian, might be one of the best "fox & friends" clips. i can't believe i've never seen that. unbelievable. rachel: you have a phobia of snakes or just that one? >> oh, yeah, i don't want to die that way. there's a lot of ways i'd embrace and that's one i avoided. there's very few people that relished that moment and i did want to do something with the animals when they come in. we got to get back to that. we don't bring animals in anymore. pete: i agree. will: i agree.

pete: brian kilmeade not a fan of snakes. you're excited about this little league. will: your hometown has continued their winning stream and headed to the little league world series. brian: pretty amazing and a team with a 72 year history and they've always been great and high school team is great. no one gets to williams sport. they do this thing, you guys should all appreciate this. parent coaches. nobody gets paid. they make an all star team in one town and every year they quest to win the state. some years they do, it's rare. this year they win the state and they go ahead and sweep the tournament, beat tom's river again and last night on espn, they win 4-0 and you have this pitcher, joey lionetti toss a no hitter to do it. i think we have the sounds of the fine pitch. >> joey lionetti throws a no

hitter and coast little league is on its way to williams port. pete: that's really cool. brian: pretty amazing. will: no hit tore advance to the little league world series. brian: the town of alec baldwin, the town of jerry seinfeld, and the balldinger family and also born on the fourth of july, ryan from massapequa. in the town, they had a huge screen and a viewing party outside last night. they just appreciate 12-year-old kids that gave up their summer and now will be on espn for about a week. all undersized. they just play great defense and just really good players. will: really great pitching. pete: amazing. you forgot to list brian

kilmeade from massapequa on the list. brian: i'm currently here so i'll give myself that credit. i was getting text messages so hopefully that do your show tomorrow or be with us on monday. rachel: president biden by the way, silent on this whole thing happening, the raid at mar-a-lago. he's actually now on vacation a? pete: that's right. rachel: at an island. he's with hunter biden, who happens to also be under investigation. what do you make of all that? brian: well, the double standard could not be more apparent. you don't have to reach back and say remember hillary clinton? you can now. you don't have to reach back and say how is bill clinton and nancy pelosi and how are democrats treated in different situations. you have a president of the united states who was not around for the last three weeks who had covid. decides to come back one day and

could have his way through a signing day and then go on vacation and in your face is the man we rarely see clothed on video and that's hunter biden. he goes up with his latest family and they vacation together and they're having the time of their lives. meanwhile the former president of the united states has a week. i don't think it's a bad week for president trump and it's one of his better weeks. this looks so egregious and over-the-top and reaction to a records conversation that we were having. i admit, we don't know everything yet. from what we know and what the warrant says, this is the biggest overreach yet of a post-presidency of donald trump and i think the family. i think most americans have had even some of the republican party that was done with president trump are librarying up behind him. this looks unbelievable. that's how -- what i'm going to discuss tonight at 8:00 on one

nation. one of the people i'm going to talk about that with is bill braton. i know you're jealous. will, i went down to graceland, 45 years since elvis' death and back on the charts mostly due to that movie. to see about graceland and what they've done to memphis and how it affects the city and the guy with the dimples and cheekbones that makes pete jealous and what's the magic of him? i'm going to have a special there, part one of two parts on one nation tonight at 8:00. will: we will be watching. we will be there perhaps with the snakes. pete: and congrats again on massepequa and hope nay we can have them on tomorrow or early next week. rachel: the town's favorite son. pete: that little league team didn't stay within themselves. they went above and beyond their capability so i don't know how brian reconciled stay within yourself with what the baseball

team did. will: good point. rachel: i love that it was parent, volunteer coaches. will: still ahead, warrant unsealed showing the fbi seized classified material but president trump disputes that. former assistant treasury secretary monica crowley weighs in on that coming up next.

rachel: idea what the

rachel: we have some idea what the fbi seized during that search warrant on the mar-a-lago home. pete: agents taking more than two dozen boxes of documents, some they say contained classified records. will: but president trump says it was "all declassified". monica crowley served in the trump administration and as assistant treasury secretary and joining us now with reaction. good morning, monica. monica: good morning, guys. great to be here. will: we talked this morning about president trump's ability to declassify. i want to ask you a different question that's been suggested by the washington post that somehow the nuclear codes were involved in the items looked for here by the fbi. how believable is it that if it were about the nuclear codes, the fbi would wait three days from the issue wans of the warrant and 18 months from the retrieval of the nuclear codes? monica: yeah, the absurdity is that the regime jumped shark

with the raid. that's an outrageous assertion that donald trump had the nuclear secrets and they waited a year and a half to go get them. what's next, he's hiding nuclear missiles under his bed? the whole thing is absurd and there's outstanding questions about classification and we've been going back and forth on that issue and perhaps that needs to be litigated all the way to the supreme court, we don't know that yet, but what we do know is that this is the latest in a long line of abominable acts against this president to try to undermine him, try to sneer him, and ultimately try to destroy him. remove him from the u.s. political scene, and everybody is talking about the particulars of the russia hoax or the two fake impeachments or january 6, but nobody is piecing it out to the broader question of why he is under constant assault and, guys, the only reason for that is because he is an existential

threat to the entire ruling class and they're absolute grip on power. therefore he must be destroyed. will: you're righted. do you think though they anticipated the backlash and that merrick garland would anticipate this raid made it more likely that donald trump is the gop nominee as everyone falls bind him? did they -- what aspect of this did they think -- what were they looking for and hoping to get out of this? monica: you know, the left and the bureaucracy and the media, all of donald trump's enemies, they can't stop. they literally can't not do this because they are so consumed not only with hatred of him and opposition to all of his very successful policies that got this country back on track, but they're also extremely threatened by his challenge to their grip on power and to the regime's entire corrupt status

quo and the gravy train that goes along with it. they must try to stop him at all costs but this is starting to backfire. this raid and everything going along with it has put donald trump on steroids. i think if there were any question in his mind about whether he's going to run again, i think they made that decision for him and i think they probably set him on a glide path to winning the presidency again in '24. >> i agree, monica, i think they kicked off his campaign and a lot of people that were on the fence about trump are fully on board, if nothing else, because of what just happened this week. monica, thank you for joining us this morning. always great incite. >> thanks, guys. rachel: straight ahead, today is national bowling day. how this league is helping veterans with every strike. that's still ahead, stay with

link is marking their 80th anniversary and raised more than $55 million for vets. pete: there's a big announcement for us this morning. joining us is chairman of bowlers to veterans and representing the national association of state's veteran's home. jessica schafer. jessica and jonathan, you benefit from what john and bowlers to veterans link does. jessica, you first. what does it mean to get this kind of financial support? >> yeah, we're very grateful for the donation for our vet centers across the country. it's allowed us and further enabled us to have recreational activities across the country. allows veterans to get out and reconnect with other veterans and overcome fears and accomplish their goals. >> the national association has 161 state veteran's homes across the country and bowlers to veteran's lanes has supported us

and we've used on long island for years and we'll roll it out nationally thanks to john and the wonderful people at bvl. rachel: john, this is a huge increase from the year before. >> we had a great year and we have a great mission, and the mission is to brighten veteran's lives every day. bowlers for america has been doing this for 80 years. we made a promise in 1942, none of us were this, but it's an unbroken promise, and we've never stopped, and this year we're giving $500,000 to a great cause helping the vet centers, helping the state homes, and it's something we're going to continue. will: it was quintuple of what was donated last year? >> yes, go to website and click donate. pete: $55 million over 80 yores

and $500,000 this year. >> goes to good people that served our country. pete: amen. will: john, jessica, jonathan, thank you so much and we're happy to have this this morning. we have a big show straight ahead. don't miss "fox & friends" coming up at the top of the hour.

>> we'll have a house party, we don't need nobody. turn your tv on -- rachel: good morning, everybody. it's 8:00 eastern time. we're here on fox square, and the band is back together. pete, will, and here we are and guess what, today is bowling day. i'm wearing my bowling shoes, my

bowling high heel shoes, which are pretty special. will: get a shot of those shoes. rachel: yeah, they were begin to me by this bowling association. i wore them today and as you know, i won the competition last year and i think i can beat all of you, boys. will: are you going to bowl in the high heel s? rachel: of course, i won last year in these high heels. pete: in those high heels? it is national bowling day. that is last year. i was not in that weekend. you see lawrence is there, that's the evidence. will: true. pete: i feel like i'm also the defending champ as someone who won the year before. will: do you bowl? pete: i do bowl. will: i'm not surprised. pete: i enjoy it but i do the regular old down the middle. i can't do the spin and i want to do the spin and it's impressive. i go with my kids a lot. it's an activity you can do,

pizza, food, couple of games and keep them happy. will: that's a happy sound. rachel: i agree. will: you can hear the bowling ball going down the lane and knocking down the pin. that's a good sound. rachel: they're bring high heel shoes for all of you boys to be equal and fair. pete: that would be like us trying it in our socks maybe. rachel: all right. pete: thank you to gobowling.com to be here on national bowling day. it's the largest sport that americans participate in on bowling day. it makes sense. rachel: yeah, whether the peak of summer or cold, cold winter, you can do it with your family. don't know what to do with your kids g to the bowling allie. fox news alert, we are learning more about what the fbi seized from the unprecedented raid at former president trump's mar-a-lago home on monday after the search warrant was unsealed yesterday. will: the warrant giving agents authority to seize more than two

dozen boxes of documents that trump says were all declassified. pete: alexandria hoff is live in washington with the details. alexandria. >> good morning. with this warrant, we have know the what of this story sort of but the why is very abstract and we'd need to see the supporting affidavit, that's not been released and that could explain why investigators believe the former president to be in violation of federal law by keeping documents at mar-a-lago. as far as what was removed during monday's unprecedented raid, the warrant revealed that agents took 27 boxes, 11 of which contained classified documents, four of when marked top secret. they indicate what laws the government believes may have been violated including part of the espionage act that make it is a crime to remove or use information part of national defense. president trump stated yesterday, number one, it was all declassified. number two, they didn't need to seize anything. they could have had it any time they wanted without playing

politics and breaking into mar-a-lago. >> he was confused as to why they were there. he had just seen him in june and said everything was fine but put oturu look on it -- another lock on it and we'll be good. he was declassifying documents and coordinating and we know for a fact, this is about documents, documents he's allowed them access to. despite the action outrages trump allies, vice president kamala harris seems content with the department of justice. >> well, as a former prosecutor, i will tell you i don't speak about anybody else's case, but i have full confidence that the department of justice will do what the facts of the law requires. >> among the items taken by the feds, binders of photos, handwritten note and executive

clemency for roger stone and information about the president of france. rachel: thank you. pete: this happened monday and we're still talking about it saturday in part because we're learning more information. in large part and both of you have talked about this because the underlying story is a former president, a future political opponent, their home was raided without notice by 30 agents for nine hours, which is 270 man hours to get boxes the government knew were there based on a negotiation that was ongoing, most of which we believe were already declassified because the president could do that. and when they raided, they didn't allow the president's lawyers inside and they had a mandate to look for documents from the entire presidency of trump from january of 2017 to january of 2020 what were they looking for? what kind of phishing expedition was this and you have diminished trust in the fbi and the warrant says box a1, box a12, box a20.

they were boxed up and locked already and the government knew were they were and eminent they raided in the middle of the morning on a monday morning. it raises questions across the board. will: the government was there the beginning of june, they were there, saw the documents, took a few away under subpoena, then followed up with the trump administration saying, hey, would you lock that up a little more securely at which point reports are that that trump's staff added a padlock to the place where the documents were held and then they come in one month later with 30fbi agents to stuff they had access to 45 days prior? rachel: monica crowley said this was entirely about making sure donald trump could not be the nominee for the next presidential election, which ironically we've all agree that had it's had the opposite affect. you brought up, will, at the beginning of the show that you

think this story is really about what kind of system we have in america. do we have a system that's equal justice, and i would say this is definitely, you know, unprecedented and it's shocking. we just have to look back to january 6 and the way those people who were arrested, the ferocity in which they were treated and many of them never even entered the capitol at all but were thrown the book and had the fbi raid them. did anyone do that to blm, the corrupt blm organizers when they were rioting and causing billions of dollars of damage? i think the american people are alarmed by this because they realize now that this administration and this party will go after them. will: even more on the nose, obviously they did not do that with hunter biden or investigating eric swalwell and his affair with a chinese spy.

not to hillary clinton when it came to having classified e-mails on her server but they are to a former president who had the power to declassify documents. you said they're on a fishing expedition. for what? they're on one for a photo opp that ends with donald trump in handcuffs. they want a failure of donald trump for presidency. if there's a fight other a document, it's a fight that has to end in the supreme court because it is the executive branch against the legislative branch. can the legislative branch make a law that says the president cannot declassify certain documents? that is a constitutional challenge that will end up in the supreme court, pete, and then tieing him up during a supposed presidential campaign. i think the reason why is what monica crowley did say. there was a report two weeks ago in axios that if president trump were elected for a second term, he would cut up to 50,000 jobs

from the administrative state: fbi, cia, irs and cut massive jobs to washington. it's important to know whether or not president biden knew about this but to think this is just about democrats is entirely too narrow. this is about president trump representing a threat to permanent washington and permanent washington saying, oh, yeah, watch this. i this is the swam -- pete: this is the swamp's latest probe and russia, russia and then a dossier and then a ukrainian phone call and then january 6. now it's this. whatever they can find, this is all prevent defense to prevent donald trump from running. you're exactly right. i would note, scary and unsettling for people is this is happening at the same time when the priority for democrats in washington is passing a so-called inflation reduction bill that includes 87,000 more

irs agents that can come after you. get ready for your life audit because -- it could be about your political view, who knows. that's the scary part. feels like inequal application of the law. will: chuck schumer was on rachel's show on msnbc. he said do not go after referencing donald trump or the intelligence agency. do not go after the cia or fbi because -- i'm quoting now, they have six ways from sunday getting back on you. chuck schumer warned donald trump and now we're seeing the warnings play out. rachel: you said donald trump before this raid said he was going to get rid of 50,000. i think you can pretty much be assure that had if he is elected, that's going to be double or triple that amount. i'm serious. that is the problem in washington dc. you cannot fire anyone and when he was president, one thing that he learned is that the deep state really existed and it was

trying to thwart him at every turn. whether in the national security or any of these departments. barack obama did a phenomenal job of loading up these brock seizure disorderses and the administrate -- bureaucracy and the administrative state is the enemy of the people. pete: the first go around he was a rookie. now he knows how it works. so if donald trump in 2024 is even more dangerous to the permanent washington because he goes in hitting the ground running understanding how much they're coming after him. i think merrick garland just sealed the gop nomination for donald trump. he didn't know he was, and he d. will: either our analysis is accurate or it's accurate as being told to you by the same people that told you about the russian collusion host, the steel dossier that donald trump ignored bounties on american soldiers by russia and donald trump grabbed the steering wheel of the presidential limo and those people are telling you

it's about the nuclear code or napkins or conversations with kim jong-un. one of us is wrong. pete: nuclear codes because they don't change those every single day. maybe. we've got more headlines for you as well this morning. actress anne heche has now died eight days after she crashed her car into a home in los anless ls causing a massive fire. rachel: police are investigating the cash but say heche had cocaine and i read she had fentanyl in her system at the time. mary anne joining us from los angeles with more. >> good morning. anne heche was declared brain dead and remained on life support till her organs could be donated. her solder son releasing a heart breaking tribute saying "my brother atlas and i lost our mom after six days of almost unbelievable emotion mall swings. i'm left with a deep, wordless sadness.

hopefully my mom is free from pain and beginning to explore what i like to imagine as her eternal freedom". heche had been hospitalized for the past six days after driving her car 90 miles per hour into a home. video obtained by tmz showed heche driving fast and narrowly avoiding hitting a pedestrian before crashing into the home causing her car and the house to go up in flames. police say she was high on cocaine at the time of the crash. the owner of the home destroyed suffered minor injuries but lost everything. so far she's received more than $140,000 in donations to help her recover. heche had been vocal over the years with her struggle with substance abuse and mental health. she's well known for a stint on dancing with the stars and a movie like six days and seven nights and donny brasco. she was 53 years old.

rachial, pete, will -- rachel, pete, will, back to you. rachel: thank you so much. pete: a few additional headlines. rushdie is fighting for his life after being stabbed in the neck and abdomen after giving a lecture in western new york. he's on a ventilator, had his liver punctured and will likely lose an eye. rushdie had his life threatened for decades by the iranian regime for his writing seen as offensive by the islamic. the suspect in the attack is a 24-year-old man. rushdie was stabbed at least 15 times and the motive for the attack is under investigation but i have no doubt it was motivated by radical islam. august 29 is the first official back-to-school day for philadelphia school district students. kids will have to mask up for at least the first ten days while kids in pre--k, get this,

rachel, have to stay masked all yearlong in philadelphia. rachel: this is crazy. pete: insane. pre--k kids mask up all yearlong in philly. this news comes days after the cdc dropped a majority of covid-19 protocols regardless if you're vaccinated or unvaccinated. rachel: child abuse. pete: 100%. fox news digital is testing your presidential knowledge and wondering if you can patch the correct leader with the facts. we'll give it a go who are. which of these presidents invented the swivel chair? will: i think i know. pete: jefferson, truman, or johnson? the date gives it away. i'm going with thomas jefferson. will: late 1800s was arthur and early 1800s or late? did they have the swivel chair in the civil war?

i'm with you on thomas jefferson. pete: he was an inventer too. rachel: i'll say chester arthur just to see. pete: thomas jefferson invented the swivel chair. definitely not harry truman. which president was the youngest to take office at age of 42. will: everybody knows this one. pete: john f. kennedy, teddy roosevelt, john adams. will: a. rachel: a. will: john f. kennedy. pete: what! teddy roosevelt. rachel: i think we all grew up thinking it was jfk. maybe he just looked young herb. could that be what it is? will: how old were clinton and obama? rachel: 40s, 45. pete: i didn't write a book about teddy roosevelt or anything. i should have known that. i didn't. which president was given a $20 speeding ticket for riding his horse and buggy too fast down a street in washington dc?

cleveland, grant, harrison, or teddy roosevelt. horse and buggy too fast down the street in dc. sounds like something teddy roosevelt would do. will: i'm going to guess based upon $20 ticket. that's too much for the other three. going roosevelt. rachel: that's right. pete: double teddy. rachel: the amount of -- i'll say ulysis. pete: you saw it in the prompter. i jimmy graham did not. i did not. rachel: i was looking at the screen. will: $20 in 1870, that's a lot of money. pete: which president exchanged over 1,000 letters, you know this one, with his wife during their relationship? george washington, john adams, james monroe or abe lincoln. rachel: john adams. it's a love story. that was one of the greatest love stories. will: i didn't know that. pete: our nation's second

president and arguably the most romantic. there's a bunch of books. will: what about ronald and nancy? rachel: again, that's a great love story and there's a whole book on them. i'm a cheerleader for love and marriage, and i know lots of people who are young and trying to find that mate in their life, and now kaylee's sister came up with an app called light bright and it's fabulous because i'm a big believer that opposites do not attract. when you want to find a mate, the most you have in common, the better. will: well, i think ab sits can attract. i'm not -- obstructing cerumen opposites -- opposites ask attract but not compact. rachel: that's a good way to say it. will: i was out of the game by the time dating apps came around. rachel: me too but it's interesting; right? don't you know people trying to find love?

will: yeah. i've always livid under the privilege of cast a wide net so i don't know about -- i think i'm totally unqualified for this. rachel: really? pete: yeah, i'm looking at the app on my phone right now. no, just kidding. rachel: he's ordering uber eats. pete: ordered breakfast. the mission statement of the right stuff is created for conservatives to connect in authentic and meaningful ways and other dating apps have gone woke. we bring people together based on share values and similar passions. you're right, when you're younger there's a lot of -- when you're young and fleeting, there's a lot of frivolous reasons why you might like or be attracted to somebody. as you get older, sharing values and a view of what the good life is with your family really does matter. compatibility really matters. rachel: if you're on a dating site cause you want to hook up then, yeah, cast a wide net. if you're on a dating site because you want to find love

and marriage, then you need to have a site like this if you're a conservative. i think she's doing a great service to conservatives and i think conservatives -- i've spoken to many young women and men on these sites that are not conservative based and they feel discriminated against because it's hard to find people. if you like trump, they don't -- don't even swipe. anyway, i think it's a great idea. i think young people -- young conservatives, this is going to be a hit. pete: the app is the right stuff. parents, grandparents, young people get it now created by ryan. the right stuff. i love it. rachel: tell us what you think if you know about the app or have an experience. e-mail us at friends@foxnews.com. pete: i want to read the e-mails. rachel: apparently will not

caring about love and marriage for other people, but does for himself. still ahead, democrats just passed a $737 billion spending bill despite inflation costing families an extra $700 something a month and to celebrate, the white house sent them cookies to celebrate. carlos gimenez joins us next on the cookies.

will: house democrat passed their $737 billion healthcare, climate, and tax bill dubbed the "the inflation reduction act". pete: and the white house is thanking them sending chocolate chip cookies for their effort. . rachel: should the administration take a victory lap for adding to the recession. congressman gimenez, thank you for joining us this morning. great to have you. i saw that video footage of, you know, the democrats celebrating after this bill. this is a bill that will essentially impoverish several working class families. how do you feel about the democrats rejoicing after the signing of the bill? >> i think it's really outrage yous, especially since one of the pro-- outrageous especially

since one of the provisions of the bill is hiring 8700 irs agents and it's a boldface law they're not auditing people that make under $400,000 a year and the jct especially mated that over 8 -- estimated over 80% of the audits are people making under $200,000 a year. 87,000 new agents will come after you and me and every other americans. how are the audits going to be conducted and who's picked to be audited in light of what's happening with president trump at mar-a-lago, that leaves a lot of questions unanswered. pete: congressman, as will pointed out, right after the bill got passed, democrats are talking about how it's the green new deal bill. this is -- is that what this is? talk to our viewers about what's included on this bill on that side? >> there's about $400 billion for green new deal stuff. this is really going to tax american taxpayers. it's going to tax american

corporations at a time when we want them to come back in order to do all this green new deal stuff. i'm really surprised he only gave them a cookie. i thought he'd probably give them all a new tesla because that's what this is all about. it's the green new deal squishtive, part much what they've been wanting to -- initiative and part of what they've been wanting to do all along and they'll tax american corporations and us to get it at a time when we have high inflation and we're in danger of if not already in a recession. they're doing the two things you can't do. you don't spend more money when you have inflation because you want to bring inflation down, and you don't raise taxes when you're in the middle of a recession. both things they're not supposed to do, they did in this bill. pete: i want to ask you about americans voting with their feet. we're seeing from high earners from new york or california fleeing the states and going to places like texas, rut, tennessee, and your -- utah, tennessee, and your state of florida. looking at florida versus new york in population growth over a year's time frame, new york is

down 365,000 people and florida is up 243,000 people. you're seeing, in fact, is it not, a vote with their feet? >> all these blue states have these crazy policies and crazy taxes and so they're going to come to the free states, the free states that are run by republican legislatures and governors, florida, texas, et cetera. that's the greatest indication of all, what's really happening and they don't learn their lesson. they continue to do the same things, they continue to raise tax, they continue to have these crazy laws, make their streets unsafe, then people are leaving with their feet. so, you know, if they keep on doing it. we're going to get bigger and bigger and bigger. new york state lost a seat in this census, we gain add seat. if they keep on doing it, before long they're going to lose five seats and we'll gain five seats. thank you very much. but don't bring your politics down to florida. if you're fleeing your state

because of the pollicis, don't bring them here because, you know, we're really happy in the state of florida. we have now for the first time in history over 200,000 more republicans registered in the state of florida than democrats. that's first time in history. that's because what we're doing here in florida works rachel: absolutely. will: you reduce the tax base and raise tax, who ends up paying the taxes? middle class. pete: congressman, thank you so much for being with us this morning. still ahead, one of america's most notorious murders is asking for a retrial. scott petersen is saying the jury was unbiased and nancy grace is on the case.

rachel: welcome back to "fox & friends". it is one of america's most infamous murder cases and now scott petter son, the man convicted of killing his wife, lacey, and unborn child 20 years ago is pushing for a new trial

as his legal team argues he didn't get a fair one. nancy grace is here with more. great to see you, nancy. does he have a case here? >> well, second verse, same as the first. scott peterson once again crying poor, poor pitiful me. one of the jurors that i named strawberry short cake lied to get on the jury he claims. she was an alternate and made her way on to the jury after a 23 page questionnaire with nearly 200 questions, they're still claiming that there was juror misconduct. they had a chance during voir dire, which means to speak the truth, in jury selection to cross examine this juror. they're claiming she lied about

sexual because and wanted fame and fortune to get on the jury. she filed against her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend and didn't equate that with being in a lawsuit. it was a question on the questionnaire. a lie does not mean confusion. rachel: you don't think we'll waste taxpayer dollars on this case. it's not going to go anywhere, is it? >> well, you never know what a california judge may or may not do. the original trial cost $3 billion and hate to go down that rabbit hole because if lacey were my daughter, i'd want the case to go all the way. let me remind everybody, scott peterson placed himself at the crime scene the day of the murder and kept going back to san francisco bay to see if the bodies washed up. let me remind you also that he got the porn channel, he sold lacey's car, he tried to sell the house because he knew she wasn't coming home, and he must

have been clairvoyant because he told his lover this would be his first christmas as a widow. wow, guilty or clairvoyant? i go with guilty. rachel: yeah, he was a dis-pickable human. on your -- despicable human. on your show, there's a murder mystery about a woman named ellen greenburg. tell us about it. she's a teacher. >> can i tell you, this case is breaking my heart. this young woman just sent out her save the dates, 27-year-old ellen greenburg. i've spent a lot of time with her parents in harrisburg, pennsylvania. they're distraught. she was stabbed 20 times including the back of the head and back of the neck and it was deem add suicide? why? the medical examiner call it had a homicide but after a meeting with law enforcement, he changed his ruling to suicide. how did it go from homicide to suicide and how do you stab yourself in the back of the

head? i'm looking for answers here along with her parents. this is not a suicide and ellen greenburg deserves justice. rachel: teacher death mystery, a nancy grace investigation is on fox nation. nancy, i am definitely going to be watching. thanks for joining us today. >> thank you for inviting me on. rachel: of course. we love having you. still ahead, this week's raid at mar-a-lago comes after months of discussion between president prt trump's team and the department of justice. why now? will and pete go off the wall next.

will: the fbi raid at mar-a-lago comes after minnesotas of discussion between the former president and the doj which president trump described as a collaborative and respectful process. pete: months, more than a year, year and a half. so why did the raid happen and why now could it have anything to do with the upcoming midterms and trump's possible run for the white house in 2024? as will said, let's go off the wall to find out. it all starts with the end of trump's term. he leaves four hours before joe biden is sworn into office. from what we understand, dozens of boxes were already packed up and mailed to mar-a-lago before he left himself. will: two important notes is, a, it's doubtful that president trump and melania were putting

things into boxes. pete: does he look like a guy that packs himself? will: i don't hi he packs himself. as pete said anything that left the white house during that time would have been during donald trump's presidency. wondering whether or not a document was declassified as president of the united states, it's argue that had you have the power to declassify. pete: john solomon talked about that standing last night and how they handle documents, and anything that would have left would have been declassified based on the standing order that trump had. he leaves for mar-a-lago and a little known agency called archives and records administration contacts trump down at mar-a-lago months later saying there's documents they'd like. will: california, they'd like communications between president trump and kim jong-un. pete: love letters. will: maybe napkins. what's interesting, is at that point, no real request for return of nuclear codes.

pete: no urgency, no leaks about the security threat that exists with the records that are not there. actually it looks like the process worked, will, for awhile in that by january of 2022, nara received 15 boxes from mar-a-lago. we don't know what was in the boxes but presumably they were requested and they were sent. will: fast forward six months, apparently nara now having contacted the doj gets a subpoena to go down to mar-a-lago and look through the documents. they do so, successfully. they go down to mar-a-lago, several agents, they look through the boxes that have been retained by president trump. they actually take home some of those documents. after that apparently during the meeting, president trump comes in, meets with the agents and after that, there's a request, could you put a padlock, secure this room a bit more? everything seems to have been at this point in coordination. pete: in fact, to that point, one of trump's attorneys has

said they pain stakingly went through every document in mar-a-lago in the storage room and put a padlock on the storage room and did everything the department of justice asked them to do. clearly the department of justice has another side of that story, and that's what we don't necessarily know at this point. between june and august -- basically between june and this week, what happened in the negotiations between trump's team and the department of justice? will: you're exactly right because that leads us to the events of this week. on monday, merrick garland approves a warden -- actually, this is on friday, august 5, merrick garland approves a search warrant, waits three days before the execution of that search warrant on august 8. i think those three days are also of note because after 18 months of negotiations, if there's urgency, if there's something truly dangerous to the united states of america, secrets s nuclear codes, why 18 months of negotiations? and why three days of waiting before you execute that search warrant? pete: i believe the warrant gave them up till august 16 to

execute this raid. to the urgency point, they waited three days to execute it, but the warrant itself gave up to almost two weeks as the time window to go into mar-a-lago running headlong into the argument there was some national urgency or threat these documents would be destroyed or somehow compromised our security. will: to the extent that the entire story is actually about classified documents, which that is an absolutely debatable point, at best, to the extent it is about classified documents, on august 11, both the doj and president trump approved the unsealing of the warrant, which we read yesterday. the probable cause is the affidavit underneath the warrant that would have laid out the case according to the doj and evidence of why you need to execute a warrant. we haven't seen that probable cause affidavit and probably never will see that probable cause affidavit, and that's in part because this isn't about classified documents. pete: maybe that's not what it

is about and that's why we won't see it. by the way on august 8, we skimmed over it, 30 agents, nine hours, 270 man hours to grab boxes that the doj and fbi knew were there because they'd been in coordination with the trump team about them. maybe just maybe, will, this has something to do with, i don't know, midterms or presidential elections coming up. will: maybe. rachel. pete: just saying. will: over to you. rachel: great stuff, guys. turning now to your headlines, chinese president xi jinping plans on meeting president joe biden in november, which would be the first in-person meeting between the two since biden took office. gordon chang joined us earlier with a warning about what this could mean. >> it'll be a real bonanza but only for the chinese because while we're in anticipation of talks, we do not impose costs on china. the biden team just doesn't do that. rachel: it would be xi's first

international trip in nearly three years. a new fox poll reveals 70% of people believe the next generation of americans are doomed. the polling site mass shooting, more policy showdowns, inflation trauma, and the affects from the covid-19 pandemic all as factors leading to the grim prognosis. last time voters were close to being this negative about the future was in 2014 during the obama administration when 61% said it would be worse. check out this amazing video from scottsdale, arizona. a fire fighter repelling down from a helicopter to save this woman who was trapped at a skate park. she was stuck after torrential rains flooded the park and her husband said she was testing out the camera on her new phone. you can see just how high flood waters were in this video. the fire department says she's doing okay after the daring rescue.

rick. rick: rachel, both of us growing up in arizona know the monsoon season and all of that means the southwest is getting this increedable monsoon season, and there is no sign in the next couple weeks it's going to let up. if you want to get the rain, you're getting it but you get some of the flooding you're seeing there. a look at the weather map, we also are in hurricane season, and we have not had much activity at all. that said, 80% of our activity is still remaining. we're going into the peak about two months and you look across the atlantic, nothing really going on except for one little spot we're watching. a chance for development along the coastline of texas there. i don't think it'll probably develop into a tropical system. won't really even have any big difference and it'll bring a lot of rain across far south texas. south texas, you need moisture there but 96% of texas is in draught. where we're getting the rain is not in the area that needs it most. drought going all across parts of the southwest. take a look at this what will be

improved around this month is four corners texas, california, not so much. rachel, back to you. rachel: thank you, rick. still ahead, while the mar-a-lago raid dominated the news cycle, the remain in mexico policy quietly ended this week but we're shining a light on it next hour. plus, we're 100 days out till team usa takes the pitch in the fight for the world cup. we'll get the ball rolling on what you need to know, next.

will: less than 100 days away from soccer's biggest tournament. this year's fifa world cup will kick off in qatar, and you can watch the whole thing here on fox. joining us now with a preview is fox sports lead studio analyst and former u.s. men's national team player alexi wallace. i have a lot of questions. we've never seen this number of americans playing at the top leagues around the world. american leagues, bundas leaga, does that give you real hope of american competitiveness that we haven't seen in the past? >> i mean, that in of itself doesn't necessarily because we've had players play, but i

think we are right to have incredible excitement about this young group. it is a young group. it'll be the youngest team at the world cup as you mentioned there are players playing at some of the biggest clubs in some of the biggest leagues around the world. christian playing over in england for chelsea, there's players for barcelona and italy and that's where my optimism comes from because of the depth of talent. we have choices now. the starting 11 for the head coach is actually different -- difficult. these are champagne problems but fun to see how he puts it together and this team really recognizes the opportunity and the responsibility because keep in mind, the u.s. men's national team didn't qualify for the last u.s. cup and biggest failure for men's soccer history in the united states and they want to put it right. will: let's define optimism,

england, usa, iran in the group. a reasonable expectation has clearly emerged from the group, alexi, round of 16, quarter finals? what's a realistic goal for america? >> okay, notwithstanding in the last world cup, qualifying for the world cup isn't cause for parades or anything like that. we've done that consistently for many, many decades now. with this team right now, first off you've got to get out of the group. as you mention it's a group that with england, with iran, whales the u.s. can get out of that first game against whiles will be huge obviously against england, take your chances and u.s. should beat whales and iran and take your chances against england. you get out of your group, anything can happen. that's the first order of business and i would expect this team, even with the inexperience and even with the youth to find a way out of the group. will: two teams out of the group and we assume england will emerge and that means the game between u.s. and whales is probably for the second spot out

of the group. i expect at least that from the u.s. team. alexi, i can't wait to watch. about 100 days away. thank you for the preview. >> thank you. will: don't miss the 2022 fifa world cup coming live from fox qatar november 20 to december 18. hour four coming up on "fox & friends".

rachel: should we try it again looking at the elbow? if. [laughter] well, it is good can to be back with you guys. will: straight to a fox news alert. learning more about the unprecedented raid at president trump's mar rah lag duo home yesterday. better president the warrant giving authorityies -- rachel: alexandria hoff is live in washington with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. what everyone is really anxious to learn in all of this is exact ly what agent were is sent in there to look for. an affidavit would 3e8 if out the first platte, probable cause, pry prosecutors believe evidence of a crime could have been found. that has not been released. but this warrant and the property receipt has which is rare on its own in a federal investigation. it shows that agents took 27

boxes, # 1 of which -- # 1 of which contained classified boxes. the warrant also indicates what laws the government believed may have been violated including part of the espionage act which mix it a crime to move information related to national offense. former president trump stated yesterday, number one, it was all declassified. they could have had it anytime they wanted without breaking into mar-a-lago. >> he was confused as to why they were will. he had just seen them in june. he declassified documents. he was coordinating with nara, and we now know for a fact this is about documents. documents that he's allowed hem access to. >> reporter: vice president

kamala harris seems content with the doj. listen. >> well, as a former prosecutor, i will tell you i don't speak about anybody else's case, but i have full confidence that the department of justice will do what the facts and the a law require. >> reporter: binders and photos were taken from the former president's residence along with a handwritten note of an executive act for clemency for roger stone. pete: we've broken down the timeline of all of this. this is not something that had been urgent until it was the, and the question is why. and then when with you look at the scope of what was cone and you look -- done and looked all the other conservatives that a have been treated that way as if they had to be made an example of, 30 agents, 9 hours on the president's home based on something that was well known in documents that were well known to be there and already secure. what were they looking for considering the fact that in the

document it said they could look for any documents that pertain to the entirety of trump's presidency? was it really about records preservation, or was it about finding something else they could use to indict donald trump to prevent him from being a candidate in 20 the 14 and -- 2024 and preventing him from being president again? will, as you pointed out, it's the perm e innocent establishment in washington that is afraid of donald trump, and is this ab edges tension of that? we'll see. will: let's bring in k texas fcc marland. -- kt mcfarland. someone this thinks that analysis is country -- incorrect, they'd say trump administration drug their feet. help me make sense of that argument while at the same time the fbi was supposedly there a month ago and took away

documents. so, in other words, they had access, took away presumably what they thought they needed to, or two months ago, and 30 days later execute a raid. >> it's just baloney. i mean, this is yet another attempt by the washington swamp which is that combination of the bureaucrats 97% who vote democrat, the democrat media, and the democrat establishment in the white house and many government. i mean, it's all the same group, it's swamp, and they're trying yet again. first, it was the russia hoax, then service impeachment number one, well, that didn't work out. number two, now january 6th, and none of these things are finding trump guilty of anything. it's such -- the reason it's baloney is really three reasons. hurl one, the president of the united states has the authority to declassify any documents at any time during his presidency.

rump took those to documents, he left the white house before his term was done, before inauguration so, are, my documents he's taken he could declassify. now, if heir going to argue he should have filled out that a form and sign it before january 20, really? you're going to do this over the right form? if the second part of it is when i worked for president trump, i was in the oval office every morning for the security briefings. he didn't read the stuff. there was criticism in the media, donald trump doesn't read the highly classified -- no, he had it orally briefed to it. he didn't read the stuff, he didn't take it with him, so why do they think there are these documents related to national security in his safe? and finally, these articles the last couple of days, i went back and looked at the russia investigation, here's what i found. service the same reporter mt.

washington -- it was same reporters in the washington and new york times, same biline, same open -- byline. according to anonymous sources familiar with the case can, blah, blah, blah, blah, trump did this, trump did that. these guys were so lazy they just took the old articles from four years ago, cut and pasted and put a new thing in. it is the same thing as the russia hoax, and i'll be the same result, this is nothing there. rachel: yeah. it sounds like an act of desperation, as you described. and, you're right, it's déjà vu are. we don't have to go back to those headlines to see it, all this feels very familiar, and i think people aren't going to fall for it anymore, kt. here's bill maher talking about just that and how this may actually backfire and have the opposite effect of what the done do state and establishment wanted to see -- deep state and establishment wanted to see happen. >> his fortune was finally

palling. desantis was beating him in the polls. desantis had in the bag, and now he's got to run against president martyr. and this is saving trump politically because now, of course, all the republicans, what do they do? pete: so, kt, desantis wasn't beating trump in the polls. but it's true, did her merrick garland just seal a nomination for donald trump as people look around? >> you know, the thing that the democrats and the establishment whether it's james comey, merrick garland, they're actually not that smart because they don't sort of think ahead of the consequences of their actions, whether it's the withdrawal from afghanistan, whether it's the war on fossil fuels, they don't see what the next step is. i don't think they foresaw the next step. and it's right, donald trump -- i mean, aye not talked to him about this, i'm close to him, i

have not talked to him since the raid, but i know that although he's made implications i'm going to run in '24, i don't think he had really made up his mind. what this is going to do is this is going to make up his mind, because the one thing he doesn't stand for is if somebody punches him, he punches back. they've inadvertently rallied republicans of all persuasions who may not even like donald trump to vote for donald trump, and i think they're motivated him to run again. will: you know, i want to refer to something you said that i think worth highlighting. it was a bipartisan consensus that the president does have the ultimate authority to declassify any document. back in 2017 legal analysts had echoed that point, and you made the point, well, is there some technicality about the form or whatever. the thing about that is, there's no one that approves declassification.

it's not like he fills out a form and turns that over to some authority. he is the authority. the president is the authority on whats declassified, so the form argument doesn't hold any water either. >> yeah. even the form argument. the fact that donald trump could take these documents, the question i would ask, are there duplicate documents in the national archives? when i left government with, you turn over everything, certainly all classified information, but do we really think donald trump who's not a guy that's great on details, do we think he was going new the file cabinet and putting files in some card board box in the middle of the night sneaking them out of the white house in that just doesn't make any sense. use your common sense. i mean, i was in there with president reagan when he declassified documents to talk about the invasion of grenada and that we were going to send

troops there. it's a simple form where the president says i declassify the following documents. so if they're going to claim that president trump somehow didn't write that little note, that doesn't even hold up in a rule of law -- in a court of law or certainly in the court of public opinion. pete: for sure. kt mc mcfarland, great analysis this morn, we appreciate it. rachel: can i say somethingsome because, you know, bill maher and others who have been saying this just solidifies the deal, the american people even if they were ambivalent about him, they're going to get behind a trump nomination and run for presidency. this is another part of the equation, and that's the family, and i can speak to to that as someone who was many a political family. the family has to also be onboard, and believe me, the trump family has been through a lot. and it was interesting, i cued in on this when lara trump was on, and she said if the family

wasn't 100% onboard, boy, are we onboard right now. it's not just that conservatives are behind it, worried about what this means and how it's changed our country in a way, or i mean, some of us wonder if we could ever go back to what we were before, but also the power of that family going, oh, boy, now we're really behind dad -- pete: great point. because the trump organization just up street from here is constantly under investigation by leticia james and alvin bragg right now in new york. when we talked about trump's support, i was falling into the desantis camp before i thought it was a better tactical move. it still may be, but that sealed it for me, trump 2024. i think there's a lot of people who look at the results of the trump presidency and then the reality coming after him, it causes people to close ranks. and within the family, as you

pointed out and within the base, the numbers have shown that too. and the polls out of cpac, out of turning point usa already had trump -- the. rachel: i've had e-mails like that and many coming from hispanics who are saying, wow, i never thought this would happen here. will: well, the biden administration is saying trump's remain in mexico policy, migrants will now be allowed into the united states to wait for their court date after the judge lifters the rule require -- lifts the rule requiring they stay south of the border, this as governor ducey in arizona begins to seal the gap at the yuma, arizona, border. i believe they're using shipping containers tops with razor wire. rachel: meanwhile, there are stacks and stacks of rusted wall that we could use, but the federal government says texas and presumably arizona -- pete: so it's becoming more and

more difficult for our border patrol agents to do their job. and now you've got arizona attempting to fill gaps in the wall that the federal government won't, certainly not -- even though the administration has tacitly admitted they need to fill those gaps, there are some photos of the types of quick ways you could fill in the holes of the wall, we talked to one of the sheriffs down there who talked about the reality of what they're facing on the border. here's a reminer. >> the influx of people in these communities are draining what little support they get prosecute federal government -- from the federal government, if any. and we have some counties that can't even stock their ep -- ems personnel because they've used all of hair money transporting illegal aliens from the border to the hospitals and nearby counties. so it's an extreme situation on border.

something has to be done. these sheriffs work 24 hours a day trying to sustain the protection of lives and properties in their communities, and they're just overwhelmed. we just need relief. wul e will you know, we talked about this earlier on "fox & friends." let's tie this border crisis into the news this week of the passing of what has been dubbed the inflation reduction act which hires 87,000 new irs agents. i gave pete the a statistic and literally during the commercial break, his mind was blown, and he had to -- there are 19,000 border patrol agents. we are hiring 87,000 new irs agents. that brings the total irs agent employment to 170,000 which makes it bigger than border patrol, state department, pentagon and the fbi combined. you combine all of those entities, and there are less

than what will be the irs. rachel: i think part of the problem, you guys, is the way they name bills. so if you had -- the reason why this humongous, the biggest climate bill we've ever seen is under the inflation reduction act. if you had put out a bill that said the irs -- will: enforcement -- rachel: beefed-up enforcement bill, i mean, if you put these ideas to the american people or gave them a choice, do you want this money to go to the irs or the border patrol, do you want it to go to the irs, do you want more irs agents or do you want more armed security guards in your schools? if i just feel there's so much lying and duplicitousness going on. will: if it were accurately named, it would be the irs audit enforcement enhancement plus control the climate act. pete: i was going to go with the green newish s rs deal.

will: there you go. rachel: that's pretty good. i would have called it the american poverty act. yeah. pete: maybe we should from now on. rachel: maybe you guys should send us your ideas of how we should rename this bill. pete: that is a great idea. e-mail is friends@pox muse.com, what should the -- friends@foxnews.com, what should the inflation reduction act really be called in we don't get time today, we'll do it tomorrow. will: author salman rushdie fighting for his life after being stabbed while giving a lecture in new york. he had his liver punctured and will likely lose an eye. he's had his life threatened for a decade by iran. police say they have identified a suspect in the attack as 24-year-old, they say rushdie

rachel: fox news alert, the unsealed warrant in the mar-a-lago fbi raid reveals former president trump is under investigation for potential obstruction of justice and espionage act violations, this as we're learning more about what was seized including 27 boxes containing some classified records that trump says were all declassified. former florida attorney general pam bondi joins us now to to react. pam, so great to have you on, you're the perfect person to talk about this. what are your thoughts on this, on this raid? >> oh, rachel, it's unbelievable what they did. and, you know, the espionage act? really? they put that in there because it's sosa laishes. you know what that means? the intent for information to be used against the united states or for the benefit of a foreign nation. really? meaning it was just for spies in world war i, is when it started,

so it's ridiculous. really unbelievable what they're doing. you know, i wonder if they put many that warrant also, rachel, that the trump team had been working with koj for -- doj for months on this matter, and will and pete just did a great timeline which is really important on this. rachel: yes. >> and i also wonder if they put in there that the trump team, at their request, put an extra lock on that closet in that warrant. pretty interesting, isn't it? rachel: yeah. they told them to pulse a lock on the door they -- put a lock on the door they knocked down. is this about making sure donald can trump is not the nominee, and is that going to work? >> rachel, donald trump is the single biggest threat to the progressive agenda in this country, in their lifetime, and they have tried everything else, as you and conclusive t mcfarland -- kt mcfarland

were talking about, to bring him down, and it has not worked. he would have complied, that that's why they didn't go to the door and say, hey, give us a warrant. hay went through melania with's clothes, and that's also why they brought in this incredible show of force. all anyone's talking about are 30 agents on the ground, but it would is have taken hundreds and hundreds of agents to pull this off. and i guarantee you they had planes in that sky, they were in d.c. watching this whole thing go down. they had boats in the water. and what did they think, that a gardener was going to to come in in a scuba suit and grab these documents, a groundskeeper, jump in the water and try to swim off with these documents? what they did back fired. they thought people were going to hi donald trump is a spy and they're raiding mar rah mar-a-lago, but it's not going to work. rachel: wow. i hope you're right, pam. people are outraked.

pete: you may have missed it, but the cdc eased covid guidelines, shifting from mandates to, get this, personal choice. but meantime, u.s. army has lost 1500 soldiers, 1,500, over their vaccine status. here to react is former special operations intel analyst and drone expert, brett coe slip. thanks for being here. you've got tens of thousands of national guardsmen and reservists who have effectively been put on desk duty, unable to do their job what's the impact of this? >> i think it speaks to the readiness of our nation's

military and how politics of this administration continues to get in the way of that. decisions hike this are going to cause irreversible harm. military is drastically behind its recruiting goals for this year, down by nearly 23%. the dod estimates at least 150,000 service members will end their terms of service year, and it's vaccine mandates like this that are part of the new general race not wanting to join the army. -- generation. it has no place in the military especially at a time when the cdc has eased its covid guidance. not to mention, you have service members who are in the lowest risk category. physically fit soldiers under the age of 45, and now you're going to review move -- remove some of our best while at the same time fighting one of the worst retention rates in history? it just makes no sense, and it's a recipe for reducing our nation's defense capabilities. pete: as the cdc finally acknowledges you can treat vaccinated and unvaccinated the same, the army's pushing people

out. you used the term readiness. here's how the army describes their view based on readiness. they say maintaining readiness continues to be the highest priority, is so hay actually believe this keeps them more ready? >> it's unbelievable. and, look, it's not even just the 1500 who have been involuntarily separated who are never going to return to service, you also have thousands of soldiers in the national guards and reserves, even though they've been separated, the army is saying hose soldiers are no longer to conduct their military duties or conduct regular annual training exercises that are crucial to sharpening their skills. it's just absurd. i mean, it kind of reminds me of back in the day when we had to deal with the anthrax vaccine and who even talks about anthrax anymore these days. pete: yeah. more are retiring, they can't meet their recruiting goals, and they're pushing people out, and the world remains a dangerous

place, which brings us to the second topic i want to talk to you about. iran is now training russia to use advanced drones. you know all about drones. why is happening, and what does it mean? >> no one should be shocked by this. i think russia's going to work with any country that has interest in opposing it. it's also, i think, meant to send a message to the u.s. we are going to see a lot of new alliances with these non-nato countries and russia. there is a drone war that is taking place on the front lines this ukraine right now. the u.s. government is playing catch-up on the reality of what's happening because of the lack ofize and ears -- eyes and ears. it's going to affect the long term. there's so many different types of drones that are being employed in battle on the front lines, but the truth is both sides of the war, ukraine and russia, they're running out. they can't produce fast must have, and you've got ukrainians that are turning to countries

like turkey to outfit them with these drones which are very costly, and then you have thousands of these smaller off the shelf commercial drones that are being use by soldiers in the trenches. so russia is losing this drone war tactically, so they're turning to some of their allies in the field and turning to iran who's going to send them hundreds. it's dangerous across the board. pete: sure is. well, i appreciate you breaking it down for us, thank you very much. and thank for your service. >> thanks, pete. pete booth you got it. up next, the man, the myth, the legend. is he a bowler though? dan bonn geoin the flesh -- dan bongino in the flesh. coming up next. come on, dan. ♪ ♪we i'm the man e. store your things until you're ready. then we deliver to your new home - across town or across the country. pods, your personal moving and storage team.

will: and we're back with a fox news alert, the fbi seized 27 boxes from mar-a-lago which other than general merrick garland stands by. >> i personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. the department does not take such decision lightly. where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search. will: former president trump actually encouraged the warrant to be unsealed. today we learned that the doj is accusing him of potential obstruction of justice under the espionage act as well as are some allegations. pete: dan bongino, host of

"unfiltered," is here with his reaction. always great to have you. >> yeah, great to be here. listen, we're -- i said it on jesse's show week, i know the thing kind of went nuclear are, and i want to reiterate because these lefties jumps on my back, we're in the third world, okay? we now live in the third world. and the fact that you don't like that makes me say it on "fox & friends" again because now i know i'm over the target. let's just deal with the facts here. you're a lawyer, astute political analysts that have been around game a long time. there have been disputes from nixon on when the p, a and all this stuff started, overclassification of documents with every president. that's a fact. i know that drives the lefties crazy, but that's a fact. the only question here is why you decided to take a different track over a dispute about classification from just, hey, we'll get this back, you'll take this, we'll take that, we'll

declassify that. why you took that to serving a raid on a former president in a time where america is sadly, and i do mean sadly, so divided, why you decided to take that step. we've turned into the third world, donald trump is a threat to them, and as michael anton wrote in his piece this week, the headline, they cannot let him back in. they will do anything. that's why the norms have been violated. rachel: so interesting. i mean, i -- you say we've crossed over this rubicon. i've seen slow slide. no one's covered the russia hoax, the way they tried to disrupt that presidency more than you. we have political prisoners in this country right now who are languishing, you know? we had navarro pulled off after a plane, an ally of the president, being shackled. this has been a slide, and maybe this is the moment with where people are waking up, is that what you're suggesting? >> it's been a slide. if you get a piece of, say, rebar and you bend and bend and

bend, yeah, you're going to get weakness. and the country's been weakened every time. i'm not suggesting these people are saints, i'm simply suggesting to you that that it's obvious that they were people who were targeted because of their politics. manafort dealing with that guy they said was a russian spy million you find out it's a source for the obama administration. nobody knows that. he wasn't arrested, people in the obama administration deal with the same guy manafort did? you didn't like that, however nasty that sounded to you, the hard reality is you targeted manafort because he worked for trump. i think the bar snappedded. i have never seen in my 10 years doing commentary reaction like this. people on my facebook page, i had one guy, state trooper, listen, i was really thinking about desantis to consider him many 2024, this guy's not political, this trump hinge,

100% now. now i know why they're so afraid of this guy. will: i think you're exactly right on the motivation. how do you see playing out? what will this result in? >> i think it's going to result in a potential trump win in 2024, i think it's going to galvanize voters in 2022, and i think donald trump understands -- i met with him -- will: do you think it'll end up in an indictment? >> yeah, i do. matter of fact, if you lay anton's piece, he lays out plan a through plan f, one of this is to try to the indict him. he'll get annihilated in court -- [inaudible conversations] yeah, i think you're right, they're going to lose, they're clearly going to lose. and also, you know, 207118usc, clearly unconstitutional. i think donald trump understands, i met with him not long ago, and i think he understands personnel were the weakness in the pairs term.

one of grow -- firster the term. you just said it, pete, now he knows. i think he tried to play the team arrivals approach. he knew he needed some rinos, which i get. the recommendations screwed him, they totally destroyed his presidency, and believe me, i'm telling you with certainty he absolutely gets that. you are going to get people in in now who are not republicans or democrats, but constitutionalists, and i think he understands he can really change government. rachel: if donald trump is selected -- elected president, and i agree he knows better now, but we have three more years of this kind of behavior. will america survive? will we even -- i mean, i don't recognize a year after joe biden. what's going to happen in the next three years? is the congress enough? because i don't hear a lot of outrage from the if congress -- >> i know. but i'm betting long, i mean, on the united states. listen, i'm a christian. jesus christ is my lord and

savior. i'm not your preach, i say that because this place is just different. we shouldn't even exist. we shouldn't have won the revolutionary war, the war of 1812, we were saved by a thunderstorm many d.c. we interned the japanese in world war ii in this country, there were slaves in country, we had jim crow. we did really bad stuff, but you know what? we have always come out on top. the people here are different. this country is exceptional. and, no, not the way the greeks hi like obama said, i love the greeks. everyone's a child of god. can we tolerate three more years? yes. is it going to be really, really difficult and ugly, yes, but i promise it's not going to be as ugly as my grandfather who fought in the battle of the bulge and never talked about it his entire life because the's appearance was so painful. we all need to not sell the sob story to to ourselves and say this is america, it's worth fighting for, joe biden is not strong enough to crush this

place. rachel: love it! pete: very well said. something else happened this week, the passing of the inflation reduction act, so-called, dan. we took our stab at names -- naming it what it should actually be named, we also asked our viewers. here's a few of them. carol says the climate revenue antagonizing plan.
