♪ one of those girls ain't trying to meet nobody ♪ you're just here for the party ♪ if i'm wrong then stop me ♪ if you're one of those girls. >> brian: we understand, too, with that philosophy, i'm just one of those girls ain't looking to meet no body. that's usually when you meet somebody. when you go out not looking to

meet somebody according to the research that ted has done. that's when you meet someone. >> rachel: that's when you meet someone. >> brian: would you back me up on that? >> rachel: i have been out of the dating scene for a long time. >> brian: is he somewhat of a suite sayer and tell all. >> steve: lee brice is our all-american summer concert series performer. he is the final act of the season. he is live at fort hood as will cain is. and will the beginning of the first show you came out of that striker vehicle and the last hour we saw a reenlistment service we are going to see something coming up. we seal enlistment service. these are civilians committing to the united states of america. committing to the united states army. you mentioned this striker vehicle. this is infantry carrying vehicle, 11 soldiers will load up in this and take them down range to the fight it's

you remember seeing anything like this out at the fort that to me s. a amazing. >> steve: all part of being live at fort hood today. lee brice the reason we they're he has a show there today and we are piggy banking on that appearance. you will see him in a little bit. in the meantime. let's talk a little bit about this. within the last hour. another one of those bus us greg abbott has arrived at the port authority of new york we don't know how many people got off. but it continues. earlier today as you can see. that same city official is greeting everybody. they have already got stuff in their hands and they are going to go into a little table and be told the next thing about legal aid and how to get healthcare and stuff like that. >> brian: the pandemic is over so he is not wearing a mask today. >> rachel: that's the welcome wagon as they come off the bus

there so far governor abbott 7,400 illegal migrants to d.c. 1800 to new york city. and 70 -- only 75 to chicago. but chag is not happy about it colleague mayor has this to say about governor abbott about sending those 75 to chicago. >> governor abbott confirmed what unfortunately many of us already know that he is a man without any morals, humanity, or shame. instead of treating these individuals with respect that they deserve, the due process that our laws require, governor abbott chose, instead, to humanely -- inhumanely, load them on to buses, send them on a more than 12 hour journey across a country they don't know. i'm happy to take and drain texas of all of all of its residents. i wouldn't want to live in a

state with a governor like that. i certainly wouldn't want to live in a state where they are doing everything they can to strip people of their basic rights. >> brian: that's a minority view. very few people are leaving texas for chicago. i think you can count them on one hand because of what she has allowed to happen in that city. taking the hand off the wheel and crime run roughshod as cops decide to hand in their badge. you are seeing a governor of texas who says after a year and a half of having 7,000 a day come here illegally, 1.8 million overall, and saying i am -- my cities and my towns are overwhelmed. you guys are ignoring me. the president is not paying attention. so i will see who wants to go to chicago. when he said load them on buses they signed a form. what are they doing? do they look like they have been terrorized or traumatized. >> steve: volunteered. >> brian: having the time of their lives. soon tell them how bad the cubs are keep it a secret. a little later we will find out they chose this country over

another country so, therefore, every one of them broke our laws. every one of them claimed refugee status or it was an emergency, i have got to come here. and what it is the president of the united states. my fear is if the president's party doesn't pay a price at the polls, he will think this is okay. because this, to me, out of everything that he has done, which is brea breaching americas morass this is the worst. >> steve: it's all political as you watch the 79 people get off the bus, mostly venezuelans, these are the people who agreed to get on greg abbott's bus. it cost him $1,300 a person to send them to chicago. she is really mad at those 79 people were sent there from the governor of texas. now, you know what she is not apparently mad at that same day that 79 arrived on the bus about 20 migrants flew into o'hare on government's dime with the help of an ngo. she is not mad at those people

because they did it with the federal government. she is just mad because it's a political season and she is trying to say, look, that republican governor down in texas is evil for doing this. even though all those people volunteered because they wanted to go some place out of texas because they wanted to go into the interior. >> rachel: such a great point. because when she was saying it's immoral to put them on a bus to places. i thought she was talking about joe biden. he has been doing this since he got into office. these secret flights in the middle of the night sending people off no knowledge picking them up. >> brian: ron desantis started land go ahead in jacksonville they will get on buses and go to delaware. they seemed to have stopped. that's what it needs. raimondo lopez on "fox & friends first." chicago alderman running for mayor. he actually wants to try to do the job. he weighed in on this where he

stood. >> chicago has been able to plan for arrival this wasn't the 11:00 p.m. surprise arrival as she is trying to portray it is. she was aware. >> this is the welcoming city ordinance. this will only get worse unless we bring in the entire city of chicago as well as the demand better from our federal government. all of this, all of these cities dealing with bus loads from texas is a result of the failure of the federal government to address the border situation for generations, for decades. unless we get that resolved, we are going to continue to see states take drastic actions like this against each other. see wash of words and in the midst of all of that we are going to forget that there are real human lives involved in what is going on here. >> steve: we have been talking about the migrant crisis for years on the fox news channel. >> brian: not like this though. >> this is the worst by far. >> steve: sure surely. it was in the last one ever couple of months where suddenly people on other channels are

talking about it. why? greg abbott, smart politics, sent people to washington. suddenly the washington national press corps is talking about it. sending them to new york. new york is talking about it suddenly people in chicago talking about it. people in big democrat led cities are saying why exactly are they coming here? oh, the texas governor? why are they going to texas? oh, joe biden let them. in a lot of people didn't know the story they are getting to know it now. >> i have to say first when governor abbott first did this i was critical of it. this was just a stunt. it's actually been effective because up until now as you said no one was reporting it outside of fox. bill melugin is like a lonely man and griff jenkins at the border now they are being forced to tell the story. by the way, 70 in chicago. 7,000 a day coming in just to texas alone. >> brian: you can't just walk here from another country. that's not the way it works. >> steve: they are not walking across the border. >> brian: they don't do that the press secretary is the only one who doesn't know that so please don't tell her.

let's keep it our secret and, steve, staffedly, i flip around the channels. >> steve: why? >> brian: mar-a-lago, mar-a-lago. georgia investigation ains. >> rachel: maybe we should send them to mar-a-lago. >> brian: they will squeeze in mayor lightfoot is having a press conference. i wonder what she is talking about. i don't think. >> steve: rachel has a great idea. ship a bus load to mar-a-lago although. >> rachel: or maybe barack obama's house up in martha's vineyard. >> steve: mar-a-lago is in florida so ron desantis would immediately send them to delaware. >> brian: i wouldn't go to mar-a-lago, there is papers everywhere. [laughter] >> brian: just a mess. most of them top secret. hey, what's going on? >> ashley: we have a couple headlines. police are searching for the suspect who gunned down a woman walking home from her job at ihop in new york city nypd says 25-year-old was shot execution style around 5:00 a.m. by someone wearing a mask. motive unclear police believe armstrong was the intended target.

controversy in a north carolina town after its entire police force resigned city council justine jones during emergency heating. under investigation for creating a hostile work environment. in addition to the officers quitting toxic behavior she is only been on the job two months. one resignation includes the town's police chief who had 20 years of supervisors. it's not clear if the officers will return to the force money from biden's $1.9 trillion covid emergency fund is being spent on nothing having to do with the pandemic. so i guess it's kind of a money problem. according to the treasury department, president biden signed a relief bill in early 2021. that bill was supposed to give aid to americans during covid. treasury officials determined that at the end of march, only $70 billion has been used for urgent needs. and a weekend in vegas may get a

little fuzzy but this man's reach for seeing double is not because of alcohol. sean douglas mcarttle was taking a dip in the pool when he swam past his doppelganger wearing the same hat and glasses he described the surprise sighting saying i wasn't convinced until now we are definitely assimilation after sharing the hilarious photo in the thread. the post got over 95,000 likes. even reddit users agree talking about a glitz in the matrix. that would be super weird. >> steve: same hat. >> ashley: yes. >> steve: same pool, same time they are identical. >> ashley: i can't imagine walking by wow he had look like me but. >> steve: swoob have to think they have to be related. >> brian: can we do a 23 and me on them? if anyone can swab their mouth. if you meet them, swab their mouth. all right. >> steve: indeed. thank you very much. coming up on this friday we head

that sergeant macias won. you can sense it and hear it in his voice it involves leadership tanks. i can tell knowing him for a few minutes he has no problem taking on a role of leadership. did i read in the interview you gave about why you decided to join in the first place and the life you were leading before as a civilian. what made you want to join. >> i was in a cycle of just working and paying bills, honestly. i really didn't feel like i was using my potential to its fullest. i didn't feel like i was being challenged, you know, i was a personal it was nice. very fulfilling job but i knew i could apply myself more. just wanted to switch it up dlawnk nor being with us this morning. back to you guys. >> steve: that was great. >> rachel: seems like he had a leg up on some of the physical activities since he was a personal trainer before. but, tell him that we wish him -- will i don't think he has quit either. >> rachel: tell him we wish him

or two about things that we knew the service member didn't know but maybe our intel community knew probably could have saved lives and now here we are a year later and not really getting a lot of answers. >> no, it's a bunch of the same old same old. apparently the cia had a description of the suspected bomber and that was put down the line to many of them. my understanding not everyone knew this description. but the snipers that were there certainly did. and they felt they had a lock on who matched that description. and requested that they kill shot and were denied. and i would love to know who the heck made that call because the outcome of this could have been completely different. >> steve: 100 percent. i know you have felt like in the last year there has not been a lot of support for the families. and you have started an organization called the freedom 13. tell us a little bit about that.

>> brian: it's new, too. >> it's definitely new and new with these guys and everything like that. first of all, as you said we have aaron rodgers heading to minnesota that place is just crazy to go to if you haven't been check it out. super loud, i know i'm going to have a ton of jitters i can't imagine these guys as well. >> brian: let's talk about the game. what do you think? the vikings come in, a bit under achievers last year and packers lose a key wide receiver. >> the packers are fascinating with aaron rodgers always. he is such an interesting guy back-to-back mvps. they lose davante adams maybe the best receiver in the league i don't know how they will look without him. i'm fascinated to see how it all goes down. i think they are still a great team. >> brian: what do you sense? >> i think what's going to be interesting to finally see minnesota. kurt cousin gets a a lot of fl. is he going to leave the team. new head coach takes over more

mike zimmerman. a different style in a division with aaron and these guys offense is going to win it. >> brian: do you get a sense of a team because you spend so much time with them before the game and after the game talking to them. do you get a sense of when somebody -- when this team has got it together they are going to be tough early on? can you figure a lot going into week one? >> i mean week one i think that's an interesting question to ask you guys with aaron we will talk to him on the phone. i will sit down -- sit down feature for fox. yeah, i think with him you definitely get a sense. i'm interested to talk to minnesota and see what their vibe is under the new coaching regime with kurt yet again. you kind of do. i think with the people that have been there for a while, right? >> what's interesting in the preseason is like it's the world of optimism. every team is the best they have ever been. every team has had the best preseason. >> brian: i think he has been out of new york for a while. we haven't had that. >> maybe not here. internally. >> we miss doing games mere. we do.

>> brian: used to go on the road a lot. let's talk about something else that is exciting. super bowl. super bowl is going to be fox two of the next three years. have you thought about that i believe it's 100 million people. >> no pressure. >> probably a couple more than maybe we are used to. how you cannot be excited tenth super bowl for fox. monster post season. two wild card two division championship in the super bowl. yeah, we are thrilled. we had our preseason game in phoenix where they kind of usually do like a super bowl run through. we did a promo shoot on the roof. i was happy i didn't fall off. that was like a big win for me, brian. >> brian: you set your standards high. >> not afraid of heights. call out. called two super bowls in three years. >> brian: erin, something is new for you, is this true it's the first time you are going to be ringing the bell at the stock exchange? >> i don't think i'm going to be do doing it i found out last night kevin is doing it pressed a button. >> i believe it's a button. we will find out. >> you may find out when we get

there excuse me, sir. >> brian: do that i'm in charge. and he is going to be throwing out the first pitch, right? >> tomorrow. >> so the story with you, you were the guy in the stands for the mets cityfield when the mets would have more people in the dugout than the stands oftentimes and that's how you cut your teeth in this business big time. >> yeah, yeah. >> what has that meant to your career? >> everything. i'm from here. grew up in new jersey, so for me to come back, work for the sny for 8 years and come back and throw out the first pitch. yeah, it's full circle. i'm so excited and then i grew up a mets fan. i know they are a good team a lot going on. cool night. >> brian: last question to you you know these guys plan, how hard is it going to be to look at in a bad pattern out there, dropping a key pass, you can't miss that tackle knowing you know these guys, or you played against them. >> i know what it's like to be on the other side.

i know what it's like to have an announcer sideline reporter just irritate me so -- but, no. i try to keep in mind i have to be fair. i have to be on tia and call things for what i am but never going to attack the guy. that's all i asked for as a player. you want to criticize my route, i drop a ball, a miss a block. don't question a guy's character or everett. that's where i think it gets personal and that's where i think the players tend to get a little sensitive and whatnot, i try to keep my player hat on as most often as i can. >> brian: you guys do listen. they do listen to the broadcast. >> the guys know what you say. >> i would say they don't they all do. >> you know very quickly what was said. >> brian: fox lucked out having you guys as the number one season. hope to see you at the super bowl if we can borrow some of your budget travel there and bring show there. >> erin takes the entire budget you have to talk to her. >> are you insane? >> brian: yeah except for your
