will: good morning. rachel: nice to be here. i've been reminded of that. pete: what is everybody right now? 10? it is lower than 10. rachel: this is like your childhood. will: that is why i fled as quickly as possible. if it was over 40 °, we didn't wear a jacket. pete: that was a warm day. will: it was a warm day. over 40, you could go light. we had an ice storm all week in texas. everything was an ice-skating rink. your driveway, your grass was an ice-skating rink, not snow, ice. pete: do you use the acquired skills of ice-skating? will: no. glad you are here with us for the four hour tour. it is warm inside. we begin with the balloon fox

news alert. the pentagon confirming a second chinese spy balloon over latin america yesterday. pete: it was first seen over montana and now apparently spotted near kansas city, missouri, moving east southeast. it will remain in us airspace through the weekend. rachel: all the details live from washington, good morning, alexandria. >> reporter: the original but of has been lingering over the us since tuesday, couldn't make it as far as the carolinas as early as today, entered into us airspace, making its way to montana where the most vivid images were captured. the size of it, about three buses, 60,000 feet over several military bases, a large portion of the us's nuclear arsenal is kept. its existence was revealed thursday, president biden was briefed on it on tuesday to

answer questions. >> mr. president, where is it now? where is the balloon, mr. president? >> are you worried about the balloon? >> reporter: an official tells fox news the president did inquire about military options but action has not been taken due to concern for potential injuries on the ground. jennifer griffin pressed the pentagon on that. >> reporter: is the chinese government controlling the movement of the balloon or is it just floating with air streams? >> this is a chinese balloon and it has the ability to maneuver, but i will leave it at that. >> reporter: once it is over a body of water, will you shoot it down? >> right now we are monitoring the situation and reviewing options. beyond that, no additional information. rachel: officials confirmed the second spy balloon over latin

america, china has dismissed blame calling the one over us airspace a civilian weather airship blown off course. commerce and jamesr comer weizen on the administered next in action. >> unless the chinese government is looking for missing documents this is unacceptable at this should not be allowed. another sign of weakness on the international stage by commander in chief. rachel: anthony blinken scrapped his upcoming trip to china and according to the wall street journal, the us is considering new sanctions on chinese surveillance companies due to selling information to security forces. will: so there is a big -- rachel: chinese balloon. will: slowly floating over our country. they say it was off course or

maybe a weather balloon. maybe rick can tap into it. we are doing nothing about it. it is a surveillance chinese balloon montana ranchers saw and said we knew about it before then and had to admit it because it was visible from earth. we are just going to let it flow to. is that 6:00 eastern time saturday morning just let it float across the us? rachel: it is fascinating. when you talk to several republican governors in states it has been flying over, they say they have citizens who would line up to shoot this thing down, and you have you wonder why isn't our military doing anything about it. it elicits so many questions about president biden and his compromise. is that why he won't allow the military to do it? is it true what the military is saying? that they say we can't shoot it

down without at possibly hurting people? you can't figure out a way with how many billions of dollars -- will: it is over montana. pete: a lot of open space there, alaska, canada. will: some of the least populated areas. i don't think the 20 x 20 mile radius is a threat over eastern montana, western canada and much of alaska. the excuse doesn't pass muster. you know what else doesn't pass muster? the reason it would be flying over the united states of america. the chinese excuse that it is an weather balloon come as a surveillance device it doesn't add up. it is flying at 60,000 feet which is twice the height of a commercial aircraft. it is visible in some instances by the naked eye, but easily telescopic lenses. why would china do this? it is easily identifiable. i think it quite literally is a

trial balloon. literally it is a trial balloon to see the reaction of the united states of america. robert o'brien gave his estimation on why this balloon is flying over the us. >> this is one of the most embarrassing things i've seen in american diplomacy and american defense in my entire career, in my life. they are laughing and china, we can't capture it? we can't deflate it, spending 800 billion a year on national defense and can't take on a slow-moving balloon, it is not a good situation. how many more balloons are they going to send? it is an open invitation, there is no consequence other than anthony blinken postponing his trip to china. this is not good for the united states of america. we look we, that we don't have the capability to take it down. rachel: anthony blinken is not coming to china, that will show them. this is the response we are getting. it is humiliating. it is humiliating the same way

we let the -- afghanistan and left our weapons behind to fund the taliban and military. that was humiliating. this is humiliating to the american people in the american people are going why is this happening? you said it is a trial balloon and they are testing president biden and they are saying, how much do we have over this guy, that he is willing to do nothing. i can't imagine why else. i have to believe the people in our military want to shoot it down. pete: what will americans do if we float a really slow balloon over their country? a lot of devastating weapons we could deliver, to avoid electro magnetic pulse, emp, serious attacks that cripple our grid and our country if delivered from a device like this. there are ways to take it down other than exploding it. one would think there's a

myriad of ways our military could approach that balloon and bring it down. to your point, the rationale doesn't work, debris field, that's why you tell me you can't bring it down? the impotency of our response to china, we have a slow-moving balloon in almost everybody's phone in america, it is called tiktok, we are doing nothing about it. this is a great visualization for how much china has infiltrated our economy, our culture, our airspace and we do nothing about it. pete: this was something to monitor how we would respond, the level of the administration and the administration and the american people. border patrol said china is watching our border more closely than the biden administration, a tweet put out by border patrol.

pete: will: about her remember said it is a violation of our sovereignty. really? every day our sovereignty is violated. rachel: why wouldn't president biden -- what is your -- very explicitly said why i think president biden is not doing anything about this balloon. pete: we will talk about this more. will: the capabilities of the balloon, the united states knows what's on the balloon, there is no way, we are a very technologically advanced, we know exactly the level of threat this represents so therefore, why did we allow it into our airspace, why are we not doing anything about it? it raises many more questions than it provides answers, don't know why we wouldn't do it but our response is the most interesting part of it which leads me to believe that's the purpose of the trial balloon in

the first place. pete: we should take the balloon down. the military if you ask them honest he probably would, they gave a heads up to xi jinping that we won't strike you. there are a lot of globalists, let's work this out, we don't want to escalate, but we will send tons of tanks to ukraine and hope it doesn't turn into world war iii. a lot of consensus stupidity groupthink right now that doesn't take this threat seriously. will: china feels we are probing their international waters so float one of these over, see what our response is what does it predicate something that happened in the south china sea. rachel: a lot in that laptop might have to do with this response. we need to stop treating china like a normal country after what happened with covid and this is a serious threat and our leaders are failing us as

this balloon floats across our sky. a new report. will: they are watching us on the balloon. rachel: any report shedding light on how the brutal murders of four university of idaho students unfolded including details of how one victim fought back. pete: idaho college students claim they saw the suspect on their campus before the murder. >> reporter: good morning. we are learning more and more about what may have happened the night of those gruesome murders, and getting a better idea of how it all unfolded. we already knew that one of the students fought back the killer, but now and nation is reporting that she repeatedly grabbed the knife from the suspect and suffered deep cuts to her fingers which they report were practically severed. that goes on to say even chapin

which killed in her doorway which contradict what officials said from the beginning, that all four students were stabbed to death while sleeping in their beds. this comes to light as people magazine reports several students from the university of idaho say they remember seeing the suspect on campus at the student union where he was seen eating by himself and staring at the other students, making them feel uncomfortable while others said they saw him so frequently they assumed he attended the school. he was a graduate student in washington state university, 9 miles away. he is charged with one count of felony burglary and four counts of first-degree murder. he has yet to enter a bully. his next court appearance will be apollinaire hearing set for june 26th. there is so much mystery surrounding this case, why

dehumanization, what's the consequences for that kid -- rachel: the whole bus, every one of those parents failed because with somebody should have stepped in. mark geragos, sorry, he's a criminal defense attorney, and he was on hand i the talking about this disturbing concern hannity the talking about disyou should thing culture. >> anybody who's a human, it's sickening. you're talking about kids that are under 10 is years old that are in engaging in this. where are the adults? the adults have a responsibility. i mean, i'm defending right now kids who have been expelled from school for the telling jokes, yet these kids are beating somebody lifeless on a bus. so you have to, you just have to wonder where the priorities are. when it comes to the other situations where you have got kind of the elderly who are business owners, it's a challenge in the inner city right now. rachel: yeah.

he's talking about just this culture among kids that, you know, if you're a small business other than, you're terrified when some of these young kids come in to your business and you see what's happening on this bus. children, if you're a parent, need to be civilized, and there's just not enough parents out there doing what needs to be done. again, every single child on that bus that did nothing, that didn't stand up even at risk to themselves, that's a bad sign. pete: that process is being exploited. it used to be parents that filled that gap, right? law enforcement can't do much to a kid who's 15, 16, 17. now that so much of that has been abdicated for reasonses of breakdown inside our culture, it's a free pass. when we used to live in new jersey, there was a car theft ring, and all they use was 14, 15, 16, 17-year-olds, because when they got caught, they'd be released right away because they're juveniles. so if the families are breaking

down, there has to be more real consequences. maybe they don't follow them for their entire life, but stop is stuff -- will: think about the dynamics. first of all, if the racial dynamics were reversed in some way, the nation would be having an absolute racial reckoning. secondarily, i don't know what kind of world you grew up in, i was taught you never hit a woman. that would include girls. a 9-year-old, let's say this girl is 15. you're going to beat -- so many lines that have been crossed beyond simply generic violence, you know? rachel: yeah. will: it's -- rachel: and how did the bus driver not know that was happening? that's, like, a stop the bus -- will: i think he might have, eventually, but 30 seconds this went on before anyone interfered. will: still ahead, hunter biden's denying the laptop is real. new york post reporter jon

i'm confused, a frost quake? that's when sudden cracks form in frozen water or soil causing small tremors. and the roads still treacherous in texas from that ice storm. about 160,000 people are still without power in the lone star state and also in mississippi. let's turn to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for more. rick: i just heard they got to -104. they had been just to -100 last time i checked. -104, windiest place on everett, absolutely a-- on earth, absolutely amazing. these are the expected low wind chills, and these, some of these will be records, and some will be records maybe within the last 30-40 years. incredible cold. very good news, it's a really quick, brief bout of cold air. so we're going to talk about the cold, but it's going to be much better even 24 hours from now. actual air temperature right now, 4 degrees in new york, 9 in boston.

d.c. at 17, feels like -15 in new york, -34 in boston, -36 in burlington, vermont. so the cold air is right there. pete, -7 in minneapolis, -15 here in new york. so colder here in minneapolis, that doesn't happen all that often. cold air here today, by the time we get to tomorrow, we've got temperatures above average. we're going to see a turn around of about 40-50 degrees by the time we get towards tomorrow afternoon. that is going to feel mighty nice, but gotta get through today first. will: i didn't have a coat yesterday, just walking around -- see you later: biden's laurers are demanding a criminal investigation into rudy giuliani, steve bannon and laptop shop repair man john paul mcisaac, but they deny their request confirms the laptop from hell is really hunter's.

address their conduct of seeking, manipulating and disseminating what they allege to be mr. biden's personal data wherever today claim to have gotten it. let's bring in new york post reporter john sleep. john -- jon levine. help me understand the filing here. on one hand, you violated his potential property. on the other, it's not really his. >> it's pat patently ridiculous. they're trying to have their cake and eat it too. on the one hand, they want to make the case that hunter's personal front was violated. you know what in let them make that case, but then they can't also engage in the charade that they are continuing to engage in that, well, maybe the hard drive isn't real, maybe it's not really hunter's. maybe it could be russian, who knows? you can't have it both ways. if they're really serious about this, they need to put their cards on the table and say, yes, it's hunter's, he should have picked it up, he didn't, it was

dumb. but what these people did was criminal, and that's the argument they should be make. but this, it is the case to me they're completely unserious about all this. will let's pick up on that term, are they serious about this. many have pointed out that hunter has hired a bigtime the lawyer here now to dial with this. the question then becomes why. why have they decided to the push back now as a legal proposition, and why hire such a bigtime firm. what are they worried about? >> i have to tell you, none of this is going to the happen. none of this is going to the happen, because i want to go back to that word, serious. does anyone believe there's going to be a trial of the century, hunter biden laptop the situation with witnesses and testimony and discovery in the middle of president biden's re-election campaign? possibly against donald trump? i don't think so. i think this is all basically a charade, and eventually president biden, cad can is going to get brought in to pull the plug on this whole

initiative. will: so you're suggesting there's no way they'd push forward this story while he's trying to run for president, but what i'm curious about is what about as a defensive proposition. could this be, we might actually see some type of investigation/charges into hunter biden, and he's already socially lawyering up. >> oh, that goes without saying. he's been lawyered up for a while. it is defensive, john paul mcisaac's already countersuing hunter biden. and, again, i don't think anyone from his side wants to see discovery, because then that would mean more laptops and more iphones and more documents coming into the public record exactly when his father is running for re-election. will: yeah. well, we'll figure out what's going on here. jon, thank you for jumping on this morning and helping us try to figure out what they're arguing and why they're agoing -- arguing it now. jon levine, thank you. a chinese spy balloon could be blowing around our sovereign land for draws. why won't the biden administration shoot it down?

a surveillance balloon. we assess that it'll probably be over the united states for a few, few days. we have contacted the prc. i'm not going to get into their reaction. i'd refer or you to them for that, but we have clearly communicated that this balloon is violating u.s. air space and international law and that this is unacceptable. pete: it's unacceptable, he says. secretary of state blinken postponing his china trip planned for this weekend. joining us now is miles yu, former china policy adviser to secretary of state mike mike pompeo. miles, thanks for being here finish. >> morning, pete. pete: what's the why here? why would china be doing this? >> well, first of all, you're right, i think this is a pattern of chinese massive surveillance over america. mine, for those who are in the china business, you know this is a pattern.

china's infiltration of american defense and intelligence systems has never stopped, 24/7. they use all kinds of platforms, right? cyber, space, big data, and now it's atmospheric. so this is a very ang the bl reminder to us that china threat is real, and it's the constant. so the reason why, i think it's more to do with the timing. china every time, you know, blinken's visit to china is a big deal for china because in the will be the first time in about four years a secretary of state of united states visits china. so traditionally, china has tace confrontation to extract cooperation. every time there's a summit, they normally do something cantankerous and cranky events like this. to add to their political bargaining chip. of course, this time it backfired, and what will happen is china basically is going to

look for some kind of scapegoat like what happened in the 1990s when china's military chief meddled in american election by supporting the clinton and gore campaigns and then things kept doing, preeting itself. -- repeating itself. pete: so if you're saying maybe it is a miscalculation by the communist chinese, why wouldn't we shoot it down, take it down, make sure it can't hover over our air space as it is right now? why are we saying it's unacceptable but doing nothing? >> this is also a miscalculation on our part. and i think the biden administration is eager to go back to the negotiation table with china on climate change, fentanyl, and those are good intentions. but china does not look at this as an understood to solve problems. they look at this as a way to increase you are their leverage. but i think if your goal is to

ea avoid confrontation and then you're open for manipulation by the chinese, so so they're doing something like this. and i think the best way to handle this, i think, would have been if china said this is the balloon out of control, great, we'll help you, or we'll bring it down, the best way to capture it, analyze it, see, as you said, if it's a weather balloon. short of that, you should immediately shoot it down not because of the violation of american air space, but most importantly this is an ongoing operational spying activity. the mission is ongoing. you should have stopped the mission immediately. it's like a cop going to a criminal scene. the first thing you do is you've, if that criminal act is continuing, you stop the action right now. if you're allowed to fly across

america, the harm it could have tone to the american security will be much, much better -- pete: yeah. it is an, if it's actively gathering intelligence and also making us look impotent letting it continue to float, it's mind-boggling. miles yu, thank you so much for breaking it down. >> you're welcome. pete: gonna toss it over to will who's got more headlines. will: yes. gonna start with this, police rescue two suspects in connection with the cartel-style killing of six family members in california last month. the victims include a teenager and her baby who were found dead on the street after trying to escape when the killers showed up at their house. police are still searching for a motive, but authorities say suspects are gang members. president biden telling reporters yesterday that the bad economy is not his fault. listen. >> do you take any blame for inflation? >> do i take any blame for inflation?

no. >> why not. >> because it was already like that when i got here, man. remember what the economy was like? if jobs were hemorrhaging, inflation was rising, we weren't manufacturing a damn thing here. will: you know, i think the man is a -- when is he bluffing? when he says come on or man. pete: i'm not joking. will: in fact, let's reveal the cards. here are the numbers, they tell a different story. january 2021 when he was sworn in, inflation was at 1.4%. by june of 2022, the rate was 9%. it dropped only a few points by the end of the year, still 5 points higher than when biden took office, and those are your headlines, man. rachel: listen, i just remember just a few years ago buying eggs at the gas station, the quick tripp in wisconsin that was right down the street from my house, 99 cents. and now they're clash 8.. -- $8. pete: he won't get pressed on

is, so explain plain what a classical education is briefly. >> absolutely. rachel, the story of american higher ed really for the past half century has been a story of one college after another trashing any kind of a serious core curriculum, you know? if you're watching this and you graduated college in the '60s or '70s, then you probably took u.s. history or economics or western civilization. but those days are long gone. many colleges now have gone to kind of an a la carte model, but there's a narrow band. schools like the university of dallas, hillsdale, grove city college that have maintained and sometimes doubled down on a traditional core curriculum in the great books of western civilization with the aim of the cultivation of virtue, moral formation. it's an incredible education, and they are bucking the national trend which is really a decline of young people going to 4-year, brick and mortar liberal arts colleges. rachel: you're seeing young people being drawn to the

classic, to these great books that have been, you know, a cornerstone of our civilization and have informed and taught the people over the centuries. why are you seeing this trend? why do you believe? >> you know, i think every parent wants this kind of education for their children. every parent and even across the political spectrum parents want their children to go to school and come back more honest. they want their children to grow in wonder and curiosity. you know, the same explosive growth that we're seeing at the college level we're seeing in k-12 the as well with the growth of classical charter schools and an absolute explosion of home schooling is going on right now. class call schools -- classical schools, and fox news has been covering this story, hundreds of new classical christian schools launched every year. and the real difference, rachel, is in the lives of these young people. you meet these children that are receiving this kind of education, and there's a difference. it's incredible. it's encouraging. rachel: yeah. you see it in the kids. my only regret is i didn't do it

sooner. your tests, by the way, accepted in over 200 colleges and universities and growing. good luck with what you're doing, it's awesome, and thanks for being a cheerleader for classical education. i am too. thank you. >> rachel, thanks for having me. rachel: don't go anywhere, we've got a big show still ahead. beautifui l cay ♪ when i first brought her home, she was eating little brown pieces in a bag and it was just what kind of came recommended. i just always thought, “dog food is dog food” i didn't really piece together that dogs eat food. as soon as we brought the farmer's dog in, her skin was better, she was more active, high-quality poops. if i can invest in her health and be proactive, i think it's worth it. see the benefits of fresh food at betterforthem.com in three seconds, this couple will share a perfect moment. is that? oh wow! but we got to sell our houses! well, almost perfect. don't worry. sell with confidence to opendoor.
