[laughter] good morning. rachel: it's always bright and happy here. pete: we are. we are happy to be joined

together with you broadcasting balloons. rachel: that's right. if you get a little chilly, i have a heat or here, will. will: is it on? pete: i don't know why you haven't turned it on yet. rachel: because it's been cozy. pete: have you been to the great american ballpark in cincinnati? will: no. never been to cincinnati. pete: never been? will: have you been to cincinnati? everybody acts, like, wow. pete: dial up a diner for will in cincinnati, and you've got to have chili for breakfast. rachel: that sounds good right now. pete: on noodles. will: let's do a list of american cities by population and find the biggest city you haven't been to. want to do that? i don't think cincinnati is the biggest city -- we'll find out, let's do the three of us, what's the biggest american city you've never visited? @. pete: it's going to be a small -- i know i've been to all 50 states, multiple times over.

will: i've never been to. pete: i don't know if i've been to big cities in maine. yes, i've been to -- will: i haven't been to alaska -- pete: i've been to the alaska. nd been to hawaii once, that was the last one i had to get. will: we're going to figure it out. we have to interrupt this conversation about the united states of america and math because, well, there's somethine following something on the map. live continuous coverage of the balloon. fox news alert, pentagon confirming a second chinese spy loon, this one found hovering over latin america yesterday. rachel: the surveillance balloon was first seen over montana and spotted flying near kansas city, missouri, and moving east. experts predict that it will remain in u.s. space this weekend. pete: could it head to cincinnati? the we don't know. it just has to go due east. alexandria hoff has details. >> reporter: good morning. yeah, the official word is the second balloon does not appear

to be heading to the united states right now. the original one is cruising above the midwest with some weather models predicting it could reach the chinas as early as today. even off the coast of u.s. there's 12 naughtal miles of air space concern nautical miles of air space. so fox news' jennifer griffin asked about that yesterday. >> reporter: is the chinese government controlling the movement of the balloon, or is it just floating with airstreams? >> we know this is a chinese balloon and that it has the ability to maneuver, but i'll just leave it at that. >> reporter: and once it's over a body of water, will you shoot it down? >> right now we're monitoring the situation closely revying options, but beyond that i'm not going to have any additional information. >> reporter: defense officials briefed president biden on the high altitude chinese spy balloon tuesday. its existence was only confirmed on thursday. the president has yet to crease can it publicly. listen. >> mr. president, when and how --

[inaudible] [inaudible conversations] when and how will you -- the balloon, mr. president? [inaudible conversations] >> are you worried about the balloon? >> reporter: worry might stem from the fact the balloon has maneuveredded over several military sites, one in montana where a large portion of the u.s. nuclear arsenal is kept. the pentagon has quickly dismissed the chinese claim that this is a civilian weather balloon blown off course. this morning china's foreign ministry added, quote: we have no intention to violate and have never violated the territory or air space of any sovereign country. secretary of state antony blinken has scrapped an upcoming trip to china and according to the "wall street journal" the u.s. is now considering new sanctions on chinese surveillance companies due to the sales they make to iran's security forces. will, rachel, pete?

will: thank you, alexandria. you know, we talked about this earlier in the show. i do think this balloon serves a useful purpose, yes, and is we'll continue the conversation about what it reveals about american leadership and our response. i think it's very, very useful as well for the american public, because we can sit here until we're blue in the face and talk about the fact that china has a surveillance tool on every one of our phones. not every one, but a great percentage of the american public's phones in tiktok. china doesn't need a balloon to spy on us. i mean, the balloon is not what they need for surveillance, not what they need for offensive military capabilities. so, you know, but there's something visual about a balloon flying over america, it's, like, what's going on? [laughter] they're literally all over the place surveilling us. they're in our universities, but people go -- [laughter] you're a conspiracy theorist and xenophobe ific. yeah? wake up. look, there's literally a balloon over your head from china. pete: check out the balloon. the cover of the new york post says pop this, balloon. i know donald trump was on truth

social saying shoot down the balloon. there's -- by the way, you don't have to blow the thing to smith leans creating this debris field, and that's one of the things we've talked about, the rationale from the pentagon, oh, you can't have flying debris from the air feels totally disconnect from the capabilities of the u.s. military should we need to take down a balloon that's flying in plain sight over american cities right now. it's over missouri right now. so if you're watching this show in missouri, go outside, grab your telescope, look up and say hi to the chicoms, because they're right up there. it's a provocation. what is the calculation of the provocation? will, you called it a trial balloon, i think that's exactly right. there are parts of our nuclear triad worth looking at if you take that path, as that map shows, but what else are they looking for? what kind of predicate, what kind of probing? do they want to get a sense of how america really would respond? the they're probably getting a

good gauge of it right now. will: curious point. this balloon is controlled. it's not just following the jet streams. it is -- rachel: that's what the chinese are saying. oh, it just got off, it was a weather balloon, and it got caught -- will: caught in the airstream, right. but it was confirmed yesterday that america's military said, no, no, it's -- pete: directional. will: -- it's under directional control. so we have a path. why don't we know that path? if it's under direction aal patrol and that map we have up it's projected it will go across so the of the northern is southeast, exiting around south carolina, georgia, i'm just curious why we know the projected path if it is under direct control? rachel: why wouldn't we tell china if -- [inaudible conversations] sorry, if this is a weather thing, we'll help you, we'll just bring it down for you, china, and then we can take a look at if it really is a weather -- pete: of course, that's what we should do. rachel: of course. we ought to bring this down. again, you bring up, it brings

up a good question as to what is it doing up there. general keith kellogg, former national security adviser, says they're picking up a lot of sensitive information. listen. >> this balloon has got a package on it. the support package underneath it with sensors is as big as a fire truck. it's huge. it's a huge balloon, and it's sucking up information. look, the beauty of a balloon and, by the way, balloons have been used in warfare since the 1800s, it loiters, it can sit for a long time. it's picking up signals, it's picking up communications and going over our most sensitive sites. they went over the home of the 341st missile wing, and it goes over the other two wings or missile wings, so it's going over the icbm fields where our 400 missiles are, now it's the over whiteman air force base, if it gets to kings bay, georgia, it's a trifecta a. rachel: you get the sense that

these people in the military don't want to allow this balloon to continue going. they probably want to shoot it down, so who's saying no? it's the president of united states. now, the pentagon is saying the president said i want to shoot it down, but they said, no, it's not wise. i think it's probably the reverse. i bet joe biden said don't shoot it down, and i he's compromised, i believe there's something behind this. it makes no sense to me. but the people who helped, the 50 people who signed that letter saying that hunter biden's laptop was russian kiss information that -- disinformation that helped usher in joe biden and, you know, squelched this story about the dirty deals and the level of compromise that this family, the biden family has with the chinese, the has to be discussed. those people are as responsible for this as anybody else. pete: yeah. you can see that image right there. st a balloon about the size of three school buses. it's got solar panels to power

it, and then the surveillance equipment is on the bottom. taking a look at whatever they want right now. i mean, the same military leaders told donald trump don't strike qassem soleimani -- rachel: exactly. pete: so there's a lot of risk aversion inside the pentagon on things like this. oh, you might escalate. while we're escalating maasively in ukraine over what, i don't know, yet we won't stand up to the communist chinese. imagine if we floated a freedom balloon up over beijing's sensitive sites, how quickly that would come down. rachel: maybe this balloon will linger and just stay on for the macy's parade. pete: yeah, just pull it down? [laughter] here's the chi-com balloon. take a look, kids. rachel: it would be really appropriate. pete: oh, yeah, it will be the number one halloween costume. we joke about it -- rachel: but it's not funny. will we move to this, fbi

correct r director christopher wray and attorney general merrick garland and education secretary miguel cardona have been subpoenaed in response to labeling parents speaking out at school board members domestic terrorists. if you remember, this was parents speaking out at school board meetings, speaking here on "fox & friends" other the fbi investigating their activism. >> they throw the word around for people who show up at a school board meeting because they're concerned about what's going on in the classroom. >> we have an attorney general that just a year ago called all of us domestic terrorists because we went to school board meetings. on the education side, they're coming after our kids, and we have to protect them. >> there is the loss of learning and education and the harm that they've caused over the last two years. >> education is the front line of the battlefield, and now we talked about education is not partisan issue. i totally agree. it is an issue between marxism

and americanism. >> it's really a ballot of who's going to decide -- battle of who's going to decide how are kids are taught the, bure captains, governments or parents? pete: this is one of the things republicans said they would investigate if they got the gavel. the judiciary committee subpoenaing these three officials, and there was coordination between the unions and the national school board association and the department of education and the white house, so that e-mail communication and the decisions being made are now something that that may have to be answered for under oath, which will give these parents and others maybe some answers to questions they deserve. rachel: and remember, this was about -- it wasn't just about smearing people who opposed, you know, the liberal narrative in these school board meetings as domestic terrorists and, of course, this would threaten their livelihood as well, but it also was giving the fbi a reason to go to their homes to investigate them, to, you know, i mean, the power, the

intimidation the that was laid on these, it's just unbelievable. here's the fbi, i'm just going to say it, here's the quote, the fbi has never been in the business of investigating speech or policing speech at school board meetings or anywhere else, and we will never be. our focus is and always will be on protecting people from violence and threats of violence. we are fully committed to preserving and protecting first amendment rights including the rights of free speech attempts. to further any political narrative will not change -- pete: until speech is violence. will: right. that's patently been veal ised as false. -- revealed as false. rachel: yes. and not just for teacher. remember, they went to the homes of pro-life protesters as well. this is -- pete: twitter, everything we've seen there. rachel: absolutely. pete: all right. 13 minutes after the top of the hour, we have a few additional headlines for you starting out

in california. this man is charged in the murder of a doctor who was just out for a bike ride in orange county. the 39-year-old faces up to 25 years to life in prison if convicted. he's accused of hitting the doctor with his lexus on wednesday before stabbing the victim at least once in the back. police say the suspect also pulled out a gunfiring multiple rounds before two bystanders disarmed him. 126 house republicans file an amicus brief arguing against joe biden's $400 billion student loan forgiveness program. north carolina congresswoman virginia foxx is calling on the supreme court to block the program. she says, quote, the biden administration's student loan bailout is a political gambit engineered by special interest groups. nicely timed for the election, if i call. -- if i recall. the high court is set to hear

arguments on this program later this month. and a seventh grader in north dakota hits the biggest jackpot of his life after a flawless shooting challenge. watch this. [cheers and applause] pete: wait for it. you've got to make a layup, a free throw, a three and a half courter. here he goes. oh, look at that. bingo! [cheers and applause] he had to do it all in 25 seconds at bishop ryan catholic school. the student says, quote: through the power of god, it went in. he looked like a good little shooter, but that half court shot is what gets you. rachel: that's a good catholic boy, giving all the credit to god. will: i'm so bummed out out

about what's in my hands -- rachel: because you want it? [laughter] will: yeah. and i'm going to eat it. pete: we have ice cream for breakfast today. this is called a cruff. it's an ice cream-stuffed doughnut. >> wow! pete: courtesy of, thank you, stuffed ice cream nyc. will: rachel, i was pretty good. rachel: were you good? will: yeah. i was so proud of myself, thinking i turned a corner -- rachel: you knew you were going to come to work concern. will: did i think there'd be an ice cream-stuffed doughnut? rachel: so when my husband was in congress, we would do dairy breakfasts, of course, it was wisconsin. and get pancakes and sausage and cheese curds and ice cream. in the morning. will: you put a doughnut in anything, it's ridiculously good, right? pete: really good. so you can get this in new york? you just go -- so people do

this? will: i don't know. rachel: i know my kids would like this. pete: it's really good. will: really is good. soft ice cream. pete: national ice cream for breakfast day. will: rachel, what's the flavor of that blue ice cream? rachel: i tried the pink. let me try the blue. will: whenever i see a blue flavor, i think, what's that one? rachel: i'm not sure, but it's really good. pete: my kids can always have ice cream for breakfast on their birthday. rachel: in july it's dairy mont- pete: isn't every month dairy month? wisconsin? rachel: still ahead, exchanging organs for freedom? a new bill could let massachusetts innates donate organs in exchange for a lesser sentence. pete: hammering that right now. hammering it.

rachel: prisoners in massachusetts could soon be offered reduced incidentses if they donate their bone marrow or their organs according to an extreme 234u bill proposed by democrat lawmakers. but our next guest says this is taking advantage of the vulnerable. here to react is creighton school of medicine professor, author of "losing our dignity," charles camosi. this absolutely does seem like a slippery slope. tell me what your concerns are. >> well, in my view, you know, once we've taken theology, objective morality out of health care, this is what we're left with, right? just as many autonomous choices

as possible. even if we go there, can we really say these are autonomous choices? i mean, you and i are both pro-life. for many years we've been talking about people who talk about choice for abortion really isn't choice if you're given all sorts of bad options. can you imagine at sentencing a judge saying, hey, guess what, you can go to prison or you can give your kidney. that's a coerced choice, not an autonomous choice. rachel: absolutely. i want to read this quote from a massachusetts state representative, judith garcia. she says it will restore bodily autonomy to incarcerated folks by providing opportunities to donate organs and bone marrow. i'm sure this is a democrat lawmakers who didn't care much about bodily autonomy with the mandate os -- mandate on the vaccines. but as you said, this seems very coercive, and yet she's couching it in, oh, this is about freedom for prisoners. >> yeah, i'm a former board member of democrats for life, so it pains me to see what the

democratic party has become. they have become so many things but now, apparently, an exploiter of prisoners? can you imagine? the democratic party of 20 years ago wouldn't have touched something like this, yet this is where we are today. rachel: and also, you know, i kept thinking about china, you know? the uighurs, those who are in concentration camps. we know the stories of how their organs are being harvested, and this just seems like a progression of that maybe wrapped in nicer large and suppose supposedly better circumstances. i waltz -- also want to talk about just respect for life, and maybe you could end on this. once you start with, you know, in the womb that life doesn't matter, we're seeing a rise in euthanasia, what does this tell you about our culture of life here in america? >> yeah. my book "losing our dignity," i mention that. once you get rid of the image and likeness of god, all bents are off, right? there is no objective morality

or dignity. and when you move in this direction, it's totally clear. our neighbors to the north are doing this with people who are requesting euthanasia. well, you're sick, you're disabled, but it's okay because something good can come of your life because you can donate organs. this is what happens when we lose foundational human dignity. rachel: well, people are already a little suspicious about orr began donation at the end of life, i don't think this is going to help the cause by adding this to it as well. yeah. so great having you, charles -- >> we need trust. rachel: we need trust, but we need morality back in in medicine, and i think that's why your voice is so important. thank you for joining us this morning. of course. still ahead, from starting families to passing bills, these ladies do it all. i went to capitol hill this week to talk to grandmas in congress, and that's next. >> well, they have that wisdom to share, and they should start right there in their community. >> it is strong families and

there's a different way to treat hiv. it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by my healthcare provider, every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month,

and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. will: fox weather alert, a polar vortex is prompting wind chills across the northeast. the coldest spot in the nation is atop montana washington in new hampshire which concern -104 degrees wind chills. in texas slick roads from the ice storm this past week have led to a lot of crashes in dallas. chief meteorologist rick reichmuth is here now. rick: yeah, we still have about 200,000 households in texas that don't have power after this ice storm, so they're days in without any power. across a lot of the northeast is where the cold air has settled. i'm going to show you the bright side, i try to do that, if i can. we have a a big warmup over the next couple cays. put up the maps, let me show you. all right, there you go.

with a group of can conservative lawmakers who are also grandmother withs. rachel: we talked about how their families inspire them, and, of course, they all gushed about their grandkids. take a listen. you brought the grandkids with her. >> i brought them with me. oh, it's so good to see you, rachel. i go gaga -- rachel: they are just beautiful. [laughter] seven amazing lawmakers, congresswoman virginia foxx, carol miller, diana harsh barger, ann wagner, michelle zeal and michelle fish bach as well as senator marsha blackburn. they have 26 grandchildren and more on the way. there's something about the wisdom especially of a grandmother. >> yesterday i went up to a member who i think had cone something inappropriate. at first he said, oh, i didn't do that, and then i could see his face change, and he thought

about it, and he said i didn't mean to do that. and i said i know you didn't mean to do that, but you did it. rachel: i love that you kid that. i'm so inspired by what you guys are doing. can you give me a specific example of something, whether it's a moment, a piece of legislation impacted by the fact that the you were a grandmother? >> the work i do in foreign affairs and financial services is very important, but the work i do in the child exploitation, human trafficking, victims, helping the most vulnerable, that's what gives me joy. >> i've always been a pro-life person. my daughter lost two babies at 21 weeks. and so i have really, really been impacted by that situation. >> the very first bill that i

did was to help nursing mothers in airports -- rachel: god bless you. [laughter] >> the medium-sized airports that they would have pods or somewhere is that women could nurse. i ended up also provide providing for men in their bathrooms areas to change babies. rachel: how are you balancing being a grandmother and a congresswoman? what's it like when you're back in district, presumably near the grandkids? >> that's what i do on the weekends. i have 7 grandchildren, and they live a mile from my house, which is so -- >> you're blessed. >> yes. >> when my grandson was born, gosh, id had to see him every day. they lived half a mile away. >> it's a special kind of love are, a special kind of relationship. i spend as much time with them as i can. >> when you're raising your kids, you're holding down a job, you're doing all these things, and it really made us very -- it was the i won't say easy, but we were very qualified to do what we're doing. >> we are good at it but, you

will: various tracks have shown it over the arctic circle, but it always comes over the north like this which i think there's two interesting things to point out about this. one, you said why don't we shoot in this thing down, and the argument is, well, it could land on people. these are some of the least populated areas here including alaska you can imagine in the western hemisphere. pete: including alaska. will: but the secondary point, look at what's in the range of something looking down from a spy balloon. pete: and there are some weather reports projecting the path. by the way, china says it's a jet stream thing. our agencies are saying, no, this is remotely controlled, likely unmanned. it's not like there's somebody in it. it's helium filled, can be controlled, solar powered surveillance systems, and the current track across the country right now likely in eastern tennessee or western tennessee the. so that's likely path heading out if we allow it to float over our country. will: take a look quickly here

at the end, in this map largely shows the same thing. currently, reports are it's the over kansas city, missouri, as we speak. there's a photo yesterday, last night. you can see it there. it's visible to the naked eye, you can see from a photo taken at ground level in kansas city. pete: surveillance equipment, and we'll talk about the size in a moment, because it's not small. i think we could take care of it if we wanted to. will: okay. let's taken a look at in this balloon, first of all. it's known as a reconnaissance balloon carrying cameras and other equipment. it's at about, they say, 60,000 feet. now, a commercial jet airliner flies about 30-35,000 feet and, pete, normally they say these things fly at about 08-100,000 feet which, again, okay, they're at 60,000 feet. to me, it looks more like a message -- pete: they do, they want it to be seen at some level. by the way, hard to hide something of this size. the size of the actual balloon, they say, three school bus

sizes. now, that's not the size of the payload or the surveillance equipment. when the pentagon says look at all the wreckage that would be created, there's ways to puncture a balloon that doesn't break up the structural integrity of whatever the satellite portion of it, and then once it's on the ground, you can deal with it. and as you pointed out, alaska, canada, montana, ooh even now over the the heartland of our country, there's plenty of places to take this down. will: not exactly subtle -- [laughter] not exactly a hard to spot and is really kind of ancient in technology. take a look at the use of spy balloons throughout history. they date back to the civil war where balloons began to be the used as surveillance. got widespread, by the way, starting in world war i. pete: yeah. a rudimentary technology. there's plenty of these right now. drones you can use, high-level drones that are mostly -- remember b-2 the bombers during the cold war? and then, of course, satellites that we use at much higher level. if china wants to get a sense of what's happening at air force

bases, they can right now with satellite technology. a balloon is meant to send a signal. will: our pentagon is spending $27 million on balloons -- plans to spend. the point of that, by the way, i think we spent $3 million end recently. the plan is to go to 27 amidst a massive defense budget. so, again, not something we're investing in heavily in terms -- i mean, $27 million compared to what we're spending on anything else for surveillance purposes -- pete: it's true, but balloons can give you a much better realtime picture because satellites are orr obitting. we used balloons over bases in iraq and afghanistan. they'd give you super detail thed vision of the neighborhoods around you in realtime that was 24/7. this is giving china a better picture and, i think, probing and testing us. how long will this -- think about it. if you're waking up right now in tennessee or missouri, there's a communist chinese balloon floating over your head. our government knows about it,

can do something about it and is choosing not to. so that's the question, is what happens now. our last slide, which we'll go through briefly, what's the reaction to in? because it could be 60 more hours, will, based on the trajectory of this balloon that the chi-kc concern coms are peeking at us. will: here's pentagon press secretary ryder on other balloons. >> that information is classified, i'm not able to provide it other than i can confirm that there have been other incidents where balloons did come close to or cross over u.s. territory. will: reports, by the way, pete, of them showing up over hawaii and in the pacific in the past. pete: don't record -- worry, china says it's a responsible country, everything will be fine. that's their statement, don't worry. nothing nefarious. just charted off course, but it's going to stick the around. will: let's see how americans react to this violation, to this thing that's going to go noticed

on purpose -- pete: or don't react. will: coming up, chatgpt, the a.i. chat bot, will soon hit 100 million users. hear why some warn it eposes a risk to the next generation. pete: just like tiktok on your phone, it's like a slow motion blimp. oh, look at that. plus, are you looking to scramble up your egg routine? we debated this last weekend. we have tips and tricks for egg-cellent eggs.is ♪ y ♪ i'm bill lockwood, current caretaker and owner. when covid hit, we had some challenges like a lot of businesses did. i heard about the payroll tax refund, it allowed us to keep the amount of people that we needed and the people that have been here taking care of us. see if your business may qualify. go to getrefunds.com.
