[national anthem] ♪ ♪ ♪ [national anthem] ♪ rachel: good morning, everybody. that was the independence high school patriot brigade performing our beautiful if national anthem.

it's 6:00 eastern time here in new york city, and i'm joined by my friends pete hegseth and joey jones is here as well filling in for will cain. pete: straight from the anthem to starships. joey: from a song i know really well to a song i've made heard on a kiddie movie. i'm not sure about that one. pete: you can't say that word right at the end of the song. can't say it on cable tv. joey: starship. higher than a balloon. [laughter] pete: or maybe not, we'll see. i i like your pocket square. joey: that's feathers from animals that i hunt. pete: he makes his own pocket square. joey: little cuff links too. rachel: is this a company that you started? we're jee no, no. you know, if i'm going to go out and hunt, take the feathers -- rachel: so are these, you actually gave them to -- joey: no. i bought these so i would know how to do it myself.

rachel: okay. it's great to sew you, though i'm not fond of feathered friends. [laughter] finish brian will immediate, who is a good friend -- brian kilmeade is live from my home state of glendale, arizona, for super bowl lvii on fox. pete: let's check with him before the big game. it's the early there, brian. how are you? >> good, thanks for asking. joey jones doesn't care and, obviously, rachel's not interested. president, obviously, you do. by the way, one of top high schools in the country, and guess what? they are patriots, independent patriots named after the bicentennial. so it's actually a red, white and blue high school. and we used to be a very red state, but not so much now which is one of the big stories today the on our set. as tradition the will have it, as well as fox and the super bowl, there's been joe theismann, super bowl winner and he lost one.

merrill hodge is going on the here, outstanding running back with the steelers who also almost die canned after a series of con concussioms in football -- concussions in football. and dean balloon dee know, he's going to be the head of officials, going to the break down who's making the wrong and right calls during the game which kickoff is at 6:30 eastern time. and guess what, guys? everything's back to normal. we have about 6,000 media members, last year 5,000 media members, before that that 2,000 because of the pandemic. pete: and they have the best one this year, for sure. joey: is it cold out there? >> it's gonna -- it's about 38. joey: arizona. >> a little while later, we'll be stripped down -- pete: brian, you were so proud of your assignment, and rightfully so, and this is what you get, four in the morning, freezing in the middle of the

desert. rachel: it will warm up, brian. it will warm up. it's going on the beautiful in arizona. >> it will. i i know, when i landed it was about 70. just in the morning the sun doesn't realize this is a desert and it should be hot, so it's not good. that's why a lot of times illegal are immigrants will wait a little while before they sneak across the border, because it's a little bit too old except for the geniuses that go the new york and say i don't like america, let me go to canada, they all want to come back again. just kind of cool, sights and sounds. people are relieved the pandemic's over. this is the fourth super bowl arizona's had. they are into it. a little bit later you'll see the sights and sounds of the city, everything that you guys are missing. but i imagine the next super bowl in a couple of years that fox has, we'll be back down here with all the shows. pete: it is a great stadium, brian. thank you for staying with us all morning. we'll check back in. there it is, don't miss it. all right. the u.s. military shooting down

an unidentified object, that's all we really know right now, over u.s. air space in alaska. rachel: the incident is raising new questions about why president biden waited so long to take out the chinese spy craft of that traveled across the u.s. joey: alexandria hoff has all the details from washington. what you got? >> reporter: good morning. u.s. officials say the object is the size of a small car, so much smaller than the suspected chinese spy balloon and flying lower. its takedown was revealed several minutes into yesterday's white house press briefing. >> can you speak to the fact that there is another chinese balloon above alaska? >> the department of defense was tracking a high altitude object in the last 24 hours. the object was flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet and posed a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flight. president biden ordered the military to down the object, and they did. >> reporter: the object was first spotted thursday night.

it was shot down by an f-22 over northern alaska around 1:45 p.m. yesterday. defense officials say the remains have fallen into frozen water which is a good thing for evidence recovery as its origins must still be investigated. >> we're calling this an object because that's the best description we have right now. . we do not know who owns it, whether it's state-owned or corporate-owned or privately owned. we just don't know. >> reporter: all right. president biden used one word to describe the object's takedown when asked by reporters. listen. >> do you have anything to say about the object shot down over alaska, mr. president? >> [inaudible] >> reporter: all right. he says success there. unlike the suspected chinese spy craft, the flying object did the not appear to have any significant payload, and the pentagon does not believe that it was manned. >> we'll give credit to our pilots that they are very capable in terms of looking at

an object, assessing whether or not this had the potential to be manned. at that altitude something that small, v very unlikely that it was manned. given the fact that it was operating at an altitude that posed a reasonable threat to civilian air traffic, the determination was made and the president gave the order to take it down. >> reporter: so it's really not even clear what this thing was. we know it was taken down though, and as for the chinese balloon shot down last week, china's foreign ministry maintains that the u.s. overreacted calling u.s. lawmakers, accusing them of using political manipulation in that ordeal. guys. pete: alexandria, thank you very much. all right. if we may, let's taken a moment and talk about this new object and its takedown for a moment here. by the way, it was described in early briefings as cylindrical which is like a coke can. [laughter] i don't know what that means, i don't know what to glean from that, but that's what we're hearing.

so it flew up on the northern part of alaska which is different than the flight path of the previous balloon. we don't know if this is a balloon as well. it was interdict thed if by an f-22. i asked joey what baldwin point is, it's a radar site. if you zoom out, this appears to be the. pat: of the f-22, loitering for a while, waiting to get orders as far as when to interdict in the particular object, aircraft, whatevers the, we don't know. but ultimately, the decision can was made to shoot it down, and it was shot down over water which is now ice, and the recovery effort happens on the ice from there. so when we watched the first flight path of the balloon going over the continental united states, what was interesting about that path -- and we'll get to that -- is all the sensitive military sites that it went over. what are they looking at? well, alaska's chock full of military sites as well. clear air force space right here in site of early detection for

icbm ifs. so if you want to get a sense of how we identify might be coming into our air space, clear air force base is pretty significant, elmendorf pretty large and fort wayne wright, home to the arctic angels. i've spent a little bit of time there, a large military installation. so, again, the object up here would have made its way into alaska, we're not quite sure. and there's also questions in the cylindrical object, don't necessarily know it was from china. russia is much closer to alaska. we don't know. and finally, i think we got a chance to look at the path of the previous balloon as well which, as was noted, went over the heartland of our country to include where all of our b-2 bombers are staged out of in whiteman air force base, icbm if nuclear bases, right chock

through the middle. so it was interesting to see the bigger threat, three school buses, guys, of the balloon the one with we waited a week to shoot down. the vw bug-sized city lin cylindrical object gets shot down right away. a little bit different. rachel: wasn't there a movie called herbie about this flying vw bus? maybe that's what it was. a couple things come to mind. first of all, our government has lied to us so much, right? they lied about not knowing that the chinese balloon, the original one, was there in the first place. they were planning on having a meeting with china knowing that this balloon was coming over the united states, and they only canceled the meeting with beijing after a civilian found that out. pete: found out. rachel: so there's that. then we know that they went out, the administration, and said russia blew up the pipeline, you know, in europe. and then now we are hearing that, no, we did it.

so there's so many lies i don't know what to the believe. what concerns me, joey, is that at this stage they haven't hold us -- told us or maybe don't know what this second object, cylindrical object is, where it came from. it makes me curious about, you know, our capabilities, like, for detection, you know? a weapon coming over -- and really quick, it concerns me because i want to give our military as much money as they need to keep us safe, but i have to say they spend so much money on climate and dei and waste my money that i don't want to give them any more money. so i'm, as a taxpayer, in a really difficult situation because i don't trust our military with their spending, and i also don't trust this government to tell me the truth about what the heck just happened. joey: a couple things. when you talk about the ndaa, congress approving the budget for the military and the current

administration telling the pentagon what they want them to spend money on, that's what i don't trust. i was in the a marine corps, pete, you can attest to this, we do the a lot with a little when it comes to funding. our military is very efficient when they can be, when they can spend their time and resources on things that need to be done. but that point that you ended up, going back to what we're talking about, if you're a mom and cad sitting at home -- dad sitting at home, how safe do you feel? just how safe do you feel in general? rachel: yeah. joey: we have things flying over our country that our government backtracks on, can't tell us exactly what it is. and they want us to care about the size, they want us to care that this was the size of a jetliner, and that was the sides of a car -- size of a car. i don't know that that matters a whole lot because i understand weapons systems, i understand monitoring systems and this idea that, oh, we could shoot this one down because it was little doesn't make any sense. that's just playing semantics to to make people feel better. maybe they have more intel, but

i'll tell you, the linchpin of this whole thing was a defense, i believe it was an officer in the military saying earlier this week when they were doing the, i believe it was during a hearing, i want to make sure i get this right. but he said we realized we couldn't jam it. that was the whole thing for me was, if you're letting it fly over the country which you know you can jam meaning you can stop the signals getting in and coming out, then i feel better about it. you're studying, you're letting the enemy do what it does and learning from it, but when you testify you knew you couldn't jam it which means anything they wanted to send out they were sending it out, that was the entire excuse for letting it fly over to begin with. pete: that's a great point. and in a world where a payload can fit inside a suitcase -- can. joey: the efficiency of bombs, those bombs in japan were tremendously larger in size and

tremendously smaller in explosion motion than anything we can make now or even russia has the capability. rachel: so representative darrell issa, who is on the house judiciary committee, says that our border is wide open just like our skies. listen. >> beijing probably is noticing that we don't make the same mistake twice, and to that extent i'll give the president recognition that he didn't make this exact same mistake twice. but there's no question two weeks ago he was tested, he failed the test. he appears to have been tested again. but, you know, one of the challenges is there is really no difference in the decision between a bus and a car that's flying over your country because a suitcase can hold a nuclear weapon. so from a size standpoint, both of these had the potential lethality that should have been taken seriously, and i'm glad it was this time. but we've got a lot more to do. our southern border is open, now our northern border appears to be open for aircraft.

rachel: pete, before we move on, it's just interesting to me, like, we still don't know if it's chinese or russian. if it turns out to be russian are, then it seems like we'd be more willing to the take that down than the chinese, and that the elicits a lot of questions. rachel: pete: [inaudible] ukraine over the skies of alaska. first reports, as you know, are almost wrong. the dust of what happened immediately is difficult to identify. to your point, rachel, that's why you want to trust your officials in what they're telling you. and from the fbi to the doj, the woke nature of the pentagon and everything else, it just doesn't feel like we ever get it straight. so we're left to be skeptical and try to get a sense of what really happened with very incomplete information. rachel: we talk about how it's dangerous in medicine when we don't trust public health. the same thing comes with military and war. if we don't trust our military, how can the military expect the citizens or military leadership and our government -- i'm not

trying to implicate the soldiers there, but again, these -- we're in courageous times. the american people -- dangerous time times. the american people have to be able to trust this institution because the institution needs americans behind it should something bad happen. joey: that is a problem. and, you know, operational security's very important, and the american people will give the government grace, but you don't have it when you say, oh, what we meant was -- rachel: well, turning now to your headlines. four people are hospitalized after a slow-speed collision between a plane and a bus last night at los angeles international airport. lax officials say an american airplane, airlines plane being towed from a gate struck the shuttle bus on the taxiway. the tug driver, bus driver, two passengers got emergency care but are expected to be okay. the cause of the crash is under

investigation. pennsylvania senator john fetterman is out of the hospital and with his family at home after a health scare. the democrat was admitted to george washington hospital on wednesday after feeling lightheaded during a democratic retreat. a spokesperson says tests ruled out the possibility of seizure or another stroke. fetterman plans to return to work on the senate or in the nat on mono. tom brady making it official. the star reportedly file an official letter with the nfl and the playerses' association confirming his reiermt. this comes as new england owner or robert kraft tells fox business that he hasn't lost touch with the former patriot quarterback. listen. >> i have had an opportunity to speak with him a few times since then. he's just one of the most outstanding people i've ever met in my life. rachel: kraft says he'd love for brady to sign a one-day deal

with the pats so he could retire with his longtime team. brady finishes his career with seven super bowl wins and three league mvp awards. he lost gisele along the way though.

pete: a win for religious liberty. a deacon in moscow, idaho, just won a legal battle against his city after he was arrested during this psalm singing, they're singing psalms. it's an event in 2020. gabriel wrench and three others were arrested for not wearing a mask outside while peacefully protesting the extended lockdowns. gabriel wrench, a former e

deacon at christ church, joins us now. gabriel, thanks for being here. so this is september of 2020. they're extending the lockdown orders. you want to worship outside distanced, but you have to have a mask on. none of that was acceptable. you were a arrested. tell us what happened to you. >> yeah, pete. this was our third protest. we had been protesting the city lockdowns really since july when they passed, it was this mask and social distancing mandate they passed. and this is outside. if you were -- pete: yes. >> -- couldn't stand 6 feet apart, you had to wear a mask. so we went to city hall to protest the, and instead of throwing molotov cocktails, we sing songs of hymns, and the city council -- we live in a liberal county in idaho, and we're one of the only few lib call counties in idaho concern liberal. and our city officials didn't like our protest, doesn't like

our lockdown. a political opponent of them, i was running for county commissioner, and i was also exercising my religious rights, and they didn't like that. pete: talk to me about your win now. what has been the vindication for you. it's years later, there's got to be satisfaction in getting things reversed. >> yeah, you know, it's pretty frustrating having to the fight your city for three years to protect your own constitutional rights and at the same time the mayor was to fishuating a wedding -- officiating weeding in september while not wearing a mask outside. they didn't even believe many in their own masking and social distancing orders. so finally after three years i won my criminal complaint in january of 2021 is, and i sued my city, and three years later the federal judge awarded me a victory here. i feel vindicated on that side of things but also my mayor, my city council and the other city officials that were involved just is have not recognized any

wrongdoing, in fact, they've all kind of doubled and tripled down on their side of things. pete: of course. >> but the federal judge even said this is egregious in that they didn't even recognize that the city officials somehow missed protecting my own constitutional rights in his own ruling. it was a fantastic ruling. pete: babe rell, as we look back at that moment in time as christians, people of faith, what should we vow that never happens again? >> man, you know, if jesus is not lord over your life, then you're going to want to be lord over everyone else's life. i think in a crisis you see people's true feelings and beliefs, and that's what happened in covid. i was grateful in some sense because we, i think, really see the true desires of liberals, and they want to be, they want to rule over all. they want to be, you know, i have a little petty, tyrannical mayor and city officials here, and so as christians i think we need to wake up that this is not a negotiation, that this is a

real fight and that we need to not only preach the gospel, but live out the gospel and know that this is not a negotiation. this is city officials and liberals that really want to take over our country and take away our constitutional rights, because that's really where this is going. pete: we saw anytime that moment, put away your bibles, put on a mask and comply with us, and we'll tell you when it's over. good for people like you who stood up. gabriel wrench, god bless you. >> thank you. pete: you got it. still ahead, we're counting down to the super bowl on fox tomorrow night. brian kilmeade is live in glendale, arizona, gearing up for the big game. brian. >> about 36 hours, pete, we'll be playing football right across the street. this is the great merrill hodge, steeler and bear for the blink of an eye. he's going on the breaking down this game like nobody else, but first things first, you have something to do. and. >> yes. hit it, our fight song. >> this is the incompanies high school band, they're going to bl

[laughter] rachel: you're welcome. brian: all right. so if you want to break down a game, there's few better people to talk to than merrill hodge, outstanding broadcaster and analyst. merrill, great to see you. first off, eagles favored. but for you, who do you see with the advantage? >> well, the eagles because they control the tempo of the game. and if you can control the tempo on the line of scrimmage, the most important aspect to win consistently in the national football league. and with their ability to run the football, that gives them the ability to control the tempo. the wildcard is really not jalen hurts even though his flexibility in running is important, it's their center, kelce. his ability to pull creates such an advantage in how they block front, so they can never be

outflanked -- brian: and if kansas city's going to get going, it's going to be the other kelce, the tight end. >> yes. well, listen, i think that's part of kansas city's biggest advantages, if they can strike early, they can get a 10-point lead and they make the eagles play from behind a little bit. that's hard to do because going back to what they do offense offensively, they control the environment. they move the ball, they score point, so they control the entire environment. brian: right. >> kansas city's going to have to stop that running game somehow, some way to win this game. brian: it's the unbelievable, what the eagles have done. they had four wins a couple years ago, fired their coach, they had all this controversy, their franchise quarterback ends up being a bust, and now they're back with jalen hurts, and they look like they're going to be winning for a while. it's an amazing transformation. >> right. and it gets back to controlling tempo, controlling the environment. when your offense controls the line of scrimmage, they control the game. when your defense controls the line of -- brian if brian right.

>> when you do it together together, you win games, and that's what philadelphia does so well. pipe brian and without blitzing, which is pretty amazing. they led the league by a wide margin in sacks and pressures. fur -- for you personally, you've had a great year, but you had a series of concussions. you had a situation where you almost died, right? so now they have this lawmaker in new york that says we've got to ban football, it's too dangerous for kids under 12. no more act thing football. how do you feel about that? >> well, that's complete ignorance, and there's actually no evidence to support that. let me tell you how my career ended, it wasn't because of concussion, it was because of improper care of a concussion, and that's still the biggest problem to this day. it's what happened to tua in the national football league, bad care, returning too quickly -- brian: quarterback for the dolphins. >> right. it's about the right care, having the proper tools in place. let me give you an idea, they

say you can't play football until you're 12 or 14, show me what evidence. first of all, something magically happens around that age which makes it disturbing that you would say it's okay to start playing that age. everybody does it, i've coached youth football, people from 8 to 38. you hit puberty, so you go from 105 to 165, and now it's okay to play at 165 -- brian: do more damage. >> -- when the force is even more severe? the most important aspect of that, the brain's not fully developed until age 25. there's a critical development in the amygdala are area of our brain, so that's when they're saying it's okay the play contact sports when collisions are more severe, they're bigger and stronger, and now it's okay to play? biggest problem with this whole subject, there's zero science to support any of that when they say that. brian: right. and you're a guy that played tackle football for a while --

>> i coached it, right? and i've watched. and i know what the science says. i know exactly what the science says. i've read all the science. if you want to prove otherwise, let's talk about it. brian: so educate yourself before you come out with that type of -- >> completely. brian: it's going to be a great game, we agree on that, right? >> always enjoy being with you. brian: fantastic. you look like you're ready to play still.

rachel: the state department confirming at least three americans are among the 25,000 killed in the devastating earthquake that rocked turkey and syria. crews on the ground not giving up hope as incredible scenes like this one unfold.

that survivor pulled out of the rubble 116 hours after the quake hit. amazing. greg palkot has the latest from southern turkey. >> reporter: the search continues here for anyone left alive from monday's horrendous earth earthquakes, but it is a grim scene, and it's getting even worse. death toll now said to be over 25,000. 1,000 buildings either -- 12,000 buildings either destroyed or damaged, ask that has left hundreds of thousands homeless without heat, without electricity. pressure's building on the governments here to pick up their recovery efforts. turkish president erdogan has admitted that his government has not been doing the job. also affected, syria, by in the earthquake, and that's why a lot of countries are pitching in including, by the way, the united states. according to officials today. it increasingly is looking like anyone left under the rubble will not have survived, but

we've seen some miraculous rescues in the past 24 hours. a toddler in one town, a mother and daughter this another -- in another, six members of a family and a third at the scene right behind me right now, a 17-year-old boy was found alive and even smiling and talking to his rescuers. the mother also very relieved. but also telling the tale, the other numbers. at this scene five bodies have been recovered in the last 24 hours, and it's believed another six could be buried as the hunt goes on for anybody left alive, as the search goes on for some kind of peace for the people here in this troubled region. back to you. rachel: thank you, greg. just devastating images but also those little pieces, moments of hope so wonderful. thank you, greg. joey, back to you. joey: yeah.

diver. explain to the us what is happening off the coast of south carolina right now. >> sure. well, thank you and good morning, joey. so there's a search and recovery operation going on, and in that navy eod technicians, navy bomb techs, if you will -- and you're a marine corps bomb ec the, obviously -- and navy divers are working together to search and locate the remaining wreckage and then identify key components and send it off to the lab. so it's a diving operation that's not terribly complex given that it's in 47 feet of water, a sandy bottom although operations have been suspended for the weekend given the sea state. complexity in navy diving comes from depth, duration or bottom time, sea state and bottom type and then obstacles or hazards on the bottom. joey: you know, talking about -- you said it wasn't overly complicated. going down 47 feet is not an easy task. are they able to get eyes on to

see if there is an explosive hazard connected to that payload before they get right up on it? >> sure. so the navy employs what's called a mark 18 system, it is a underwater sonar. so a variety of underwater sonar will be used and kind of, you know, garden variety navy eod or explosive ordnance disposal work underwater, sonar devices are used to locate mine-like objects or objects that are of interest ott the object. and then the human being, the navy eod tech, will make the dive on the object to identify it and once again identify potential explosives. in this case, the balloon itself probably had some type of self-destruct or scuttling charge usually -- joey: yeah. >> -- devices that are designed to operate in and around water it would be a scuttling charge, things that are designed to operate in the air or on land would have a self-destruct charge. and so that's why navy eod, navy

bomb techs, are on site. joey: let's move up to alaska and talk about the option there in this last minute. what do you know about that? is that in water? is it on ice? what do you presume and what kind of unit will respond to thatsome. >> sure. so the government the has been very limited in what they've released, but from what i understand the device which was hovering or flying around 40,000 feet was shot down, brought down over prudhoe bay which is frozen right now, so it should be with for all intents and purposes a land type of recovery. and, again, if we're concerned about a self-destruct charge or something of that nature, there are, i believe, air force eod assets none that region that would respond to that. joey: yeah. thank you so much for joining us. we're going to leave it there, but when i was in the marine corps and i was eod, if there was ordnance on the beach, we'd

say throw some water on it and call the navy. it's such a cool thing to see, i can't wait to see pictures and hear more about this operation, and it's cool to see navy eod divers cowhat you co. thank you for your service and for joining us. >> thank you for your service, joey. great to talk to a fellow eod technician this morning. joey: absolutely. now the left's climate concerns, yeah, they're coming for your washing machines and refrigerators. you can't have clean clothes and food. we'll explain next hour. but first, we're pawsitive you're going to love this, the 2023 puppy bowl. these guys ununleash their talent right here next. ♪ who let the dogs out? ♪ who let the dogs out many ♪
