6:04 am
friday night dump of data that they don't want people to see. a record-shattering, over 250,000 illegal encounters. those are the ones we know of at the border. 40% increase over the record of last year. of december of 2021. staggering. rachel: sometimes we try to give you a city so that you can kind of, you know, get an idea of what that number actually looks like, and every month we have to pick a bigger city. so that number is about the size of -- arizona. and the worst part, of course, is that among those are alsoists. and our -- terrorists, and our government doesn't seem to care. they've weighed it, and they think their policy of open border and bringing in all these people illegally is worth an increase in known terrorists crossing our border. bill: 38 -- will 38 so far. last year 98 in 12 months were the data, so extrapolate that and see how much of it will
6:05 am
explode this year if it stays on that pace. and just a reminder, three years ago that number was zero. pete: what it should be. will: well, okay, this is the kind of story that is ignored, largely. meaning illegal immigration altogether. wait until something happens. rachel: exactly. they're playing with fire. they're playing with us. pete: we're 20 years from 9/11, now we're about to surpass 100, we'll break last year's record, and again, i want to reiterate, this is only the terrorists who are bad at their job who got caught. the ones that actually use sophisticated networks and snuck into our country, where are they? let's pray nothing does happen but, will, you're right, that's what would be the wake-up call moment. rachel: you wouldn't know from seeing this latest video from joe biden and his vice president, kamala harris. they think everything's going really great. listen. >> what do you think? i think we're off to a pretty good start. >> i think we're off to a great
6:06 am
start. >> hard to believe it's two years. >> i wish people could see what i see sometimes and what you have singularly done -- >> oh, you're very -- >> you've been an incredible leader. >> i feel good about where we are. >> it's ground breaking. >> we've got a lot more to do. >> we've got momentum. rachel: you talk about these terrorists, these two not good at their job. also not good at banter. that was so phonemy -- pete: how did they get cameras in the room and they didn't know? how do we get those really can did, inside shots -- will: did you see him mealing with the golden state warriors? why was he mealing? was that an athletic picture, one guy kind of kneels with the ball, what was he doing kneeling? rachel: i think he doesn't know what he's doing. i really think he is just walking around and doing weird stuff, and no one can stop him because, you know, he's the president. pete: superstar the, dell curry. no, he didn't say that, but
6:07 am
that's the type of thing he would say. let's bring in a real superstar, dan can bongino, host of "unfiltered. "that take it anywhere you'd like, maybe start with that video. very an did, authentic -- can did, authentic. >> well, listen, it's saturday morning and i get up with you guys too. rachel, love the glasses. with due deference to my good friend, sean duffy, it's a great with look for you. he's on my show tonight. it is a good look. i wake up with you guys, and i know saturday mornings no one wants to hear any bad news, but just for a moment reflecting on their comments, biden and harris, that we're somehow in this wonderful spot, this transformatively good place, but i'm really worried like you on the couch, all of you, passionately love this place. ., you pledged your -- pete, you pledged your life for it. where else are we going to go? we don't have any place else to save. where are you going to go, canada? they're being led by a tyrant,
6:08 am
obrador down in mexico who's a straight-up communist. the fact that we have people many charge who are so deluded that they believe that, you know, record mental health crises in schools, hundreds of thousands of kids dying of fentanyl, a literal invasion at our southern border, international chaos in ukraine, inflation we haven't seen in 40 years, real wages down 1.5-2% meaning you're making less money, a stock market in turmoil, a public safety crisis in the streets, and our public schools failing our students is some kind of transformative moment scares the living -- you get the point. rachel: yeah. >> -- out of me. hay must know this isn't true. and my fear, guys, is not that these two idiots, they don't believe that. they're doing this on purpose. destruction is the point, right? it's a feature, not a glitch. my fear is having grown up in david dinkins' new york city which was a chaotic mess before
6:09 am
giuliani if took over, that people are starting to embrace the suck. it was a term we had in the secret service when you didn't have a choice, listen, just embrace the suck. you've got to fix it. people are starting to embrace it. they watch thousands of people per if day if not tens of thousands walking across our board, and they're like, is this footage from last week or bill melugin's drones today? 6% inflation last month, they're, like, ah, yeah, it's not too bad. it was 9%. i'm really worried that people are starting to embrace the suck, and it's not bad enough for hem yet to change things. rachel: heir playing with fire, dan. of i as will said, any one of the terrorists that did can get through, we know some have, something could happen. what is their calculation? what is the why? why are they doing this? people at the border say they know this is intentional, but what is at the heart of it? why are they opening our border
6:10 am
and risking a terrorist attack? >> yeah. yeah, i know if, it's a good question. i talk about this on my podcast all the time. people think of narratives and stories and analogies. sometimes i find some of the brightest minds of our time, a lot smarter than me, they overanalyze and overthink things. this is simple chaos theory by the communist, socialist left. i think of the analogy of the walking dead. did you ever see that zombie show, there's a few survivors left, right? there's 4 one end sold where the survivors voluntarily find refuge in an abandoned prison. now, who voluntarily walks into a prison and imprisons themselves? the answer is people who are afraid of what's on the outside, the zombies. that's why democrats -- i don't want to say democrats, i don't want to paint hem with a broad brush, liberals specifically, they embrace chaos. antifa in the streets, chaos at the border, public safety crisis. hay make it worse because when you get this they yachtic --
6:11 am
chaotic environment, people allow their civil rights to be taken away. it's the exact same thing they did with the covid reset model. they literally wrote a book about these globalists where they used the cay gross of covid to -- chaos of covid. you will inject this vaccine, and people were so afraid they said, okay, and they just complied. and now we're seeing the horrors of that for a lot of people. the walking dead theory, don't ever forget it. will: i love it. i remember that, dan. that was a smart -- that was a great analogy, and that was during a smart season of the walking dead when i actually -- i kind of quit on it after a while. >> yeah, me too. it kind of died. will: but how metaphorical, lock yourself in a prison to protect yourself from what's outside. why would they want to have everyone volunteer to lock themselves up, and it's because we can't overlook there is an anti-human philosophy behind this, an antipathy towards your fellow man.
6:12 am
it's not a conspiracy theory, it's written in books about overpoll population, there's too many of us, we're all too free and too chaotic ourselves, so that's part of it, believing humanity in and of itself is a problem, therefore, let's get them to lock themselves up in the ideological prison. >> yes. yes, exactly. if it's the idea -- listen, just listen to the liberals talk. if you're not convinced what will said is true about liberalism, in essence, being anti-human, listen to the way they talk about people, the deplorables, you know, the big smellies, the rednecks, the hayare seeds. they talk about -- hayseeds. they see you as a proliferating virus that's a danger to this mother nature, you know, atheistic god they have, mother nature. and when you combine the fact that the they see you as a virus with this very dangerous component because that one thing is not going to help without the next. the next participant's' critical. -- part's critical. there's no emergency brake on
6:13 am
their behavior unlike nurse on the couch and me here. we believe in our god-given rights for everyone. it stops us from doing bad things to you, liberal. thankfully. we can't do that. god-given rights prevent us from doing that to you. you have to understand the essence of liberalism is the opposite. they see you as virus, and they see nothing getting in the way of stopping them from doing bad things. remember, we think liberals are people with bad ideas, right? they think we're bad people with ideas. that's a totally different thing. that's why they never argue on principle. principle doesn't matter. hypocrisy doesn't matter to them. everything to them is about power and subjugating this human virus. and when you listen to them talk the, it is evident. and my chaos here to ally explains -- theory explains everything. that's why hay force chaos and fear on you, for you to leave your civil liberties at the door. of. rachel: and the answer is to fight back with, and the other answer, love your family and have babies. >> it starts at home.
6:14 am
rachel: it starts at home. >> whatever you think of jordan peterson, he says, listen, make your own bed first. i had a lady once in a diner ask me, what do we coto fix this? i said, do you talk to your grandkids? no, they're left-leaning, i don't want to alienate them. politics is downstream of culture. if you don't understand that, you're in the wrong guam. pete: bingo. well, you're in the right game, dan. what have you got tonight on "unfiltered"? >> i got this guy pete hegseth, and i got this guy sean duffy. his wife's got glasses now. [laughter] this article from politico, this is really interesting. i printed it up. it's about ukrainian efforts to sabotage trump from 2017. what does this have to do with classified documents? george soros, joe biden and how it all ties together, and i ask the question in my monologue tonight, this is a tough one, get ready.
6:15 am
is joe biden a foreign agent? and i don't mean 007, i mean the legal term, foreign agent, foreign agent registration act. is joe biden acting on behalf of foreign governments in exchange for money funneled through his son and then his political activities being dick anticipated as such? if -- dick anticipated as such? i even have the white board. oh, i can't show you too much -- [laughter] the white board comes out tonight to walk it through for liberals. i think you're going to be convinced tonight on my show. we have the biggest political scandal of our time going on that our president may, in fact, be a foreign agent. rachel: oh, you do not want to miss "unfiltered." it is a must-watch. dan, thank you for breaking it all down. will: thank you, dan. rachel: what a great segment that was. amazing. pete: appreciate it. it is the really great to host a show where you learn from really 1345r9 people. rachel: rah i know. i learned the most revolutionary thing you can do is have a family these days.
6:16 am
pete: you, therefore, are samuel adams. [laughter] rachel: i'm george washington. pete: yes, you are. let's turn now to a few additional headlines. miscaptureing one of the five inmates who escaped from a missouri jail on tuesday. authorities taking michael watkins into custody days after he was spotted drinking water at a bar. surveillance footage shows the group running from the detention center and speeding through the gates in a stolen car. a manhunt for the remaining four fugitives is ongoing, three of them are convicted sex offenders. and t-mobile dealing with the fallout if from its second major data breach in less than two years. hackers stole the information of more than 37 million if wireless customers. the nation's second largest carrier says the bad actor got names, e-mails and even billing addresses. thankfully, the customers' social security numbers, credit card information and/or passwords remain secure. and our fox family is hurting this morning.
6:17 am
we're heart broken that our colleague, alan, has died of a heart attack. alan was the senior vice president of news and politics at fox news. he's been a leader here for decades. alan started at the network in 1996 before the official launch. he's been a crucial leader in our coverage for every major news event and every election night. alan recently led a discussion about the midterms at a company town hall. he was a happy warrior who always had a smile on his face. our sincere condolences and heart-felt prayers go out to alan's family. he's survived by his loving wife rachel who was his high school sweetheart, his 17-year-old son ben and and-year-old daughter olivia -- 13-year-old daughter. the fox news team very much miss him. a great american and a producer's producer. alan was 47 years old. we'll be right back.

6:22 am
abundant growth. meta, twitter and amazon also reducing their work forces. so why do we see this growing trend? let's ask the cohost of "the big money show" on fox business, brian brenberg, jackie deangelis and taylor riggs with us morning. good morning. brian, they're all laying off jobs. >> yeah, heir laying off jobs because they overhired during the pandemic. they felt like the growth was going to be will, so they brought in a lot of workers. now they're finding out environment's changing, and they're saying we better try to get ahead of this. is 90,000 -- 190,000 over the last year in the tech sector. will: yeah. jackie, it seems to me -- here's another tech company, microsoft, that just announced a bunch of layoffs. at the same time, i'm seeing news that they had this private sting concert in davos, switzerland? look, no one wants to see someone lose their job, but not especially in the face of that kind of spending oh, absolutely. and it was a complaint of
6:23 am
goldman sachs as well. they had a conference in florida while they were laying off people and cutting bonuses. this is some of push and pull that you see when we're heading into a bumpy time period, right? and the layoffs that we're seeing in tech the, we've seen them for the last year or so roughly, it's been a headline here, a headline there, you start to add them up, and you get to the number that brian just quoted. i think you're going to see these layoffs bleed into other sectors as well, because the fed has broadcast that the labor market has to slow, consumer is showing signs of slowing. when they spend less and corporate profits go down and then companies start to lay off more people. now, that's not great for america as we move forward because anytime we've been in a period where people are losing jobs, they have a really tough time. will: you know, and, taylor, i've seen people say until we start to see a rise in up unemployment, we won't see a fall in interest rates. fed will continue to consider the market too frothy, too growth-expansive until we see this.
6:24 am
>> 100%. i spoke a few days ago with the new york fed president john williams, and they a still said inflation was their number one concern. they are still so focused on inflation. the upside risks to inflation far outweigh the downside risks of recession. so i still think they're really focused on that, that is their priority. and until he can maybe stop the raising rates and get inflation under control, heir going to maybe ignore a little bit of an increases in unemployment because that is just not hair the priority right now. will: you focus on inflation, you raise rates. you run the risk of a recession and according to bank of america's ceo, brian moynihan, he's saying, well, that's coming, this recession. >> we basically have a mild recession predicted starting mid this year into '24. we expect to take rates up over 5% and hold hem through pretty much next year. unemployment will move a little bit. will: so i'll start, we'll go in reverse order, taylor this time.
6:25 am
do you agree with -- >> yea, i think he's spot on. you're going to see an increase in unemployment which the fed has frankly said, that's okay, that's not our priority. >> yeah, we need that unemployment, as a matter of fact, jerome powell said. and i listened to all of maria's interviews with the ceos at davos, and they all said something is coming. how steep is, we don't know. as somebody who has been following wall street for a long time, i listen to the ceos, the money guys. they tend to know what's coming. will: brian, soft recession or hard recession? >> well, here's the problem, okay? you've got the bank ceos saying maybe a mild recession, but you've got a u.s. economy that's limping along, and this administration has done nothing for the supply side, for growth, to get things moving again. so the problem is if you get a little bit of a break, a little bit of a recession buzz -- but you get oil prices spiking again, what happens? mild recession becomes big recession. you've got to build in a little buffer. we haven't gotten a growth buffer from the biden
6:26 am
administration. will: all right, you like these threesome. [laughter] monday, 1:00 on fox business, "the big money show." what can we expect? >> we're going to be the talking about these issues. people out will in the audience, how do you make the big money? it's not just for wall street, it's for everybody building something in america. >> it feels like the american dream is harder to achieve, but it is still out there. >> finance is fun, and you can learn a little something too. will: there you go. again, these three, fox business, 1 p.m. "the big money show." thank you, guys. >> thank you. will: all right. we've got a big show tomorrow to, katie the pavlich, joey jones, larry kudlow, mike huckabee, sean duff by, dagen mcdowell. look at that lineup. all gonna join us. plus, our new fox and family series begins with ice skating. we'll have a rink on fox square. but up next on this show, are aliens among us? an out of this world pentagon report details hundreds of ufo sightings last years, so pete and i go off the wall next.

it has superior absorption compared to regular turmeric. qunol. the brand i trust. ♪ ♪ will: well, one of is really excited about this segment. e.. the might be science -- e.t. might be science fiction, but the possibility may become reality. a new pentagon report shows hundreds of new accounts of ufos in 2022. pete: unidentified flying objects. and last week i asked on program former director of national intelligence for some answers. listen. john, treat us like an adult here. you've seen the intels, january 15th in the year 2023, are aliens real? >> well, i can't talk to you about, you know, any potential
6:32 am
alien life, so i'll just leave it at that. [laughter] will: what was that? to this moment, was that acting or -- the. pete: pelt like he was -- felt like he was acting and he was just hesitating. he wanted words to come out, he couldn't say 'em. will: what's the truth? let's go off the wall. pete: we're going to tell you the truth about aliens right now. i'm a skeptic, he's a believer. he actually professed before segment he might be an alien, which knowing him for a while might be true. will: i am open to the possibility. you're close-minded, i'm open-minded. january 12th, pent pentagon report shows 510 ufo reports have been examined. that is on rise. look at this, 247 new reports since march of 2021. pete: okay. let me help you out here. lots more i pones, lots more people -- iphones. so more technology, more
6:33 am
awareness means more sightings. doesn't necessarily mean more aliens. will: i'll give you more technology essentially means more open eyes, but we're talking about people in the know like david prayer. he was a u.s. navy lieutenant commander, an aviator. he was on tucker carlson, and you're talking about the real fighter pilots, navy pilots, air force pilots seeing things they cannot explain. pete: but the footage, will, is always grainy. it's always grainy. >> both of us, both airplanes see a kiss turbans in the water and a why not 40 foot longic -- tick tank shaped object. there's no rotor wash, no wings, nothing. and i cut across the circle, and as i get within about a half mile of it, it rapidly accelerates to the south in about two seconds and disappears. pete: i'm not saying he's wrong, i don't know. i want a clear, unpix slated photo just once.
6:34 am
will: i know you do. unidentified flying object does not mean the same thing as an alien. these are literally things we cannot explain. it could be foreign adversaries with superior technology, it could be a whole host of things. pete: could be drones. could be air balloons. will: but this isn't first time we've wondered about extra terrestrials. how about 1947? possibly, i'm going to do two of hem here. the most infamous moment in the surgeon general for extraterrestrial -- search. in 1947 you have the infamous roswell upo incident where -- ufo incident where resident cans say they see what they think is the remains of a crash site, and it's never been fully explained, weather balloons -- pete: that's what the defense department said. by way, this gentleman's name is kenneth arnold, he described a saucer, which is where flying saucers came from. a lot of the phenomenon started
6:35 am
after world war ii. then there was an end incident where it appeared also in that the same area as roswell that there were slimy-type men dropping from the sky which some thought maybe were aliens. they were quickly picked up by military vehicles which led to theories the air force said they commonly crop airplanes from dummies to test crash landings for pilots. will: the air force begins to take these things seriously, opens up project blue book which looks into many of these sightings and potentially takes serious the specialty for -- potentiality for what unidentified flying objects might be. pete: they concluded 90% could be attributed to astrothe mom call and meteorological phenomenons. 6% could actually be unidentified. will: i happen to think this is an important question. pete: [inaudible] will: what's that? oh, yeah, the point i'm going to make is these are questions hard worthy. of you in particular, you laugh,
6:36 am
you say -- we might want to know, what are all these things flying around that we don't know what they aresome. pete: i'd like to know for defense purposes, ultimately. will: and that brings you to area 51. pete: do our adversaries have capabilities that we're not aware of? in 1951 declassified documents showed that area 51 was home to a cold war program to create a spy plane. the more scent the government keeps it, the more we want to know. will: over the last year or two, we have -- you asked the foreman head of the dni, and you herald the answer at beginning of the segment, they've begun to look at recent encounters and established reports as recently as last week. pete: we'll end end on this, a guy by the name of bob lazar came forward with stories saying he was charged with reverse wiring an alien spacecraft in 1989. there have been two fbi raids on him. he claimed he was hired to kind of figure out what that alien
6:37 am
craft was. will: he was featured on joe rogan podcast, brought a hot a lot of this back to the culture and consciousness. jeremy corps bell, he's been on the network on several occasions, bringing this question back, what are we experiencing. hearst bob lazar on the joe rogan experience. >> this is technology that doesn't even exist. this was a small reactor about size of a -- hemisphere about size of a basketball. it produced a gravitational field of its own. now, this is something that we can't do. this project was to back engineer the alien craft. amount of power we're dealing with is astronomical. will: said he worked at area 51, other government facilities. pete: maybe. we've will maybe. pete: you never know. will: might be worth asking. pete: i don't know if i want to know. my wife believes, just like
6:38 am
independence day, the alien arrival will be the moment human race actually comes together. will: i totally agree. one external threat unifies humanity. pete: so we need the aliens, is what we're saying. we're in some trouble right now. will: still ahead, virginia's governor is cracking down after 17 schools apparently delayed telling students about their merit awards. former education secretary bill bennett reacts next. ♪ here i go again on my own ♪ lately everybody has opinions about the economy, but i count on personal financial advice. my ameriprise advisor understands the markets and me. she knows my goals and can help me reach them with confidence. the markets may fluctuate but you're still on track. no wonder more than 9 out of 10 clients are likely to recommend us. because advice worth listening to is advice worth talking about.

pete: virginia governor glenn youngkin is pushing a bull that would ban public schools in the state from withholding information from students about merit awards after 17 virginia schools that we know of were caught delaying notifications. fox news contributor and author of the book of virtue, bill bennett, joins us. mr. secretary, thank you very much for being here. why would schools withhold merit awards for students who received those? >> well, this is part of the subterfuge of standards, pete. not done by aliens, by the way. [laughter] this is done by our own people. people who are committed to a very different agenda, people who don't believe in the idea of individual achievement, rewardingal the lent, and they make mistake of thinking that regarding people equally means
6:43 am
