[laughter] you can't see us, now you can. [laughter] this is why we can't have nice things, because i just want to play with them. joey: so rachel's back here with the pom-poms, and she's a better cheerleader than either of us are football players. pete: that's true. a. rachel: i was a cheerleader in high school. pete: you had the beats going. rachel: yes, i did. pete: brian kilmeade live in glendale, arizona, ahead of the matchup, the philadelphia eagles against the kansas city chiefs. brian, good morning. backup. brian: good morning. that was awesome. good morning to you.

service everybody in the vicinity is now up and ready to go because we booked one of the best bands in the area. this is flora, by the way. how good is your band? >> really good. brian: i second that. you customized surprise for us, right? in about 45 minutes we can hear that? >> yeah. brian: fantastic. you guys go to competitions, usually there's about how many members of the band? >> 50. brian: we have how many here? >> 20. brian: because they're the best? >> yeah. [laughter] brian: all right, good. good job. you're the only ones whose alarm clock worked. [laughter] thanks so much for coming out today. >> yeah, of course. brian: a lot of people are talking about tickets and how much in demand because the pandemic over is over, people are pumped up to go to this game again. this city is flooded with fan bases like i haven't seen before. kansas city, rich history, dates back to the '60s. same thing with the eagles. two years ago they were a mess, now they're arguably the best

team in football. i asked stubhub on the street, if you want to come to the game, what's it going to cost x how are the prices going to escalate as we get closer. >> we're seeing a high command with this super bowl with tickets starting at $3200 with an average of clash 6800 ticket prices. there are about 2800 tickets still available, and that's only about 4% of what the stadium holds. brian: 2019 levelses? >> yeah. pennsylvania is the number one top selling state with only 20 percent of all the sales at stubhub and then with the neighboring states, new york and new jersey, it puts it close to about 35% of sales, eagles fans. brian: what does that tell you about who's going to be in the stadium? >> i believe it's going to be a lot of eagles fans. brian: guys, that's no small thing. i mean, if you work all year to play a home game, this is supposed to be a neutral site. and i'm telling you, as fervent at the chiefs are being here

three of the last four years, maybe they're somewhat complacent because right now the eagles are flooding into town. and, by the way, they are the loudest group of people ever. if you're an eagles fan, you love it. for the rest of the world, maybe you don't. but they are going to, i think, make it feel like a home game inside that stadium right acrops the street from us. -- across from us. rachel, do you want to expand on that? rachel: no. [laughter] pete: brian, you broke that down like a new york giants fan -- [laughter] with all the unbiased nature that you could. brian: i will say this, they have such a passionate fan base, i don't understand this are ritualing of climbing a pole. they like to climb poles. people are greasing poles to stop the eagle fans from climbing. if you want to celebrate, why climb by yourself where there is no waiter or service, where you can't get a beer and stand on top of the pole and scream? it's an odd reaction to success. [laughter] i just recommend you guys don't

do that. i just don't see my life is going good, let me climb something. rachel: well, i'm married -- brian: -- should be examined. rachel: i'm married to a lumberjack speed climber, so i actually understand a little bi- pete: there's nothing involved in this -- joey: i don't think it's anything like what the eagles fans do, but my grandmother won a silver dollar climbing a greasy pole one time, i will leave it at that. [laughter] brian: there's a reason to climb a pole, you won a buck. there's no other reason. you climb alone. but sean went up and he went down, and the goal was to go up and down quickly. he was sober, he had spikes on his shoes, the pole wasn't greased. [laughter] that makes sense. and, by the way, he looks good in plaid. you met him when? how did you meet him, rachel? [laughter] rachel: i met him on "the real world." on reality tv. brian: exactly. pete: find a greasy pole and look for an eagles fan, and

that'll make for good tv if if you could find that later. brian: there's nobody up now, pete. this is a morning show. when people party until four in the morning the night before -- president president -- pete: brian, if you could find one, we would appreciate it. brian brian all right. i'll be your booker. pete: all right. the u.s. military shooting down an unidentified object, that's about all we know, over u.s. air space. rachel: that's right. and it's raising new questions about why president biden waited so long to take out the chinese spy craft that traveled all across the united states. joey: alexandria hoff has details from washington. >> reporter: this object posed a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flights due to its at altitude around 40,000 feet, and thus it was shot down. it is still uncheer with -- unclear. >> 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: defense officials being tight-lipped there. the white house says this object, which was about the size of a car, was first spotted thursday night. it was shot down over northern alaska around 1:45 p.m. yesterday. alaska senator dan sullivan describes the landscape and the significance here. >> this actually came over into alaska air space in the area of nome which is western alaska. it was shot down eventually over kid horse and, by the way, we -- dead horse. that's proved hoe -- priewld hoe bay, one of the most important energy areas in america. right now the recovery operations are taking place about 8 miles into the arctic ocean, but that's frozen, so we have a good understood the,

hopefully, to the find the pieces. >> reporter: u.s. officials cothe not believe that this object was carrying a significant payload, and the pentagon does not believe that it was manned. >> i will 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, very, very unlikely that it was manned. given the fact that it was operating at at an altitude that posed a reasonable threat to civilian air traffic, the determination was made and the president gave of the order to take it down. >> reporter: so when the president was asked by a reporter his feelings, he summed it up with one word. >> do you have anything to say about the object shot down over alaska, mr. president? >> success. >> reporter: all right, success. as for the suspected chinese surveillance balloon shot down over the atlantic last week, can china's foreign ministry maintains the u.s. overreacted,

accusing u.s. lawmakers of political manipulation. rachel: alexandria, thank you so much. well, let's bring in republican congressman mike gallagher. he is the chairman of the select committee on china. mike, what do you make or -- i know you, so -- [laughter] i should say congressman. what do you make of this situation? do you believe that this is a chinese, a new chinese balloon, or is this -- it's a cylinder. what is it, where's it coming from? what are your thoughts? >> it sure looks like the second time within a week that the chinese communist party has violated american sovereignty and sent an object into american air space. now, we don't know definitively that this is a chinese drone, but if it turns out thats the, they're testing us. they're testing our resolve. and, of course, the raises the question as to why we didn't shoot down the high at iewd the air balloon over this week when it was over the aleutian islands

in alaska. i still believe we could have done that safely without jeopardizing civilians on the ground via debris. this really gets to a broader point, the fact that the chinese communist party feels clearly that it's t emboldened, that it's the probing our defenses. as i said before, this is a clear message from xi jinping. the message is look what we can do to you and get away with, and you'll do nothing in return. so we need to send a message of strength. i think it would be wise for the president to sanction any chinese military companies that manufacture equipment and technology inside of these spy balloons. i i think we can go further and start to put restrictions on ccp-linked land purchases in the united states. the easiest thing we should do is shut down these chinese police stations that are operating right here on american soil which is a clear threat to our sovereignty. pete: you know, congressman, rather than be strong and dethe fintive will -- definitive to begin with, the first one was massive, and they let it cross

the entire country. the instinct of the biden administration was to cover it up. they knew about the chinese spy balloon days before annie blinken was supposed to go to beijing -- antony blinken, and they only canceled it after of the rest of the country found out about it because of a photographer in montana. what are the priorities then for this administration vis-a-vis china? >> well, to the your point, i mean, listen, i'm not the most important member of congress, but i'm on the intel committee, the armed service committee, i chair the select committee of china, why am i learning about it for the first time from the billings gazette? would we have known about it if it weren't for the fact that it was supposed by a civilian? would they try to cover it up so as not to jeopardize secretary blinken's trip to china? by the way, why are we sending our secretary of state there, they should be sending their officials here: i really think this gets to a tension in the administration. there is a wing within the administration that believes climate change is the

existential threat and, therefore, we need a more cooperative relationship with the chinese communist party as if xi jinping cares about commitments that are made at copp 27. i think that's a profoundly naive view of the world, but it gets them into this situation where they're constantly afraid of provoking the chinese despite the fact that this is a country that's committing genocide, this is the party that has abandoned commitments in terms of the wto and hong kong, and this is the party that this still won't provide us key information we need if in order to understand where the pandemic that upended all of our lives came from. joey: congressman, you're on intel, like you said, chair of the select committee on china, and you guys are in charge of the house of representatives. slim majority maybe, it's still republicans that have the gavel. have you spoken with kevin mccarthy? what can republicans in the house do as far as pushing forward legislation to either sanction china, prepare our military? what is the action beyond simply condemning china or potentially

even the president that the house can take? >> well, obviously, our most powerful tool is oversight. it's wielding the power of subpoena we have to demand answers and accountability from the executive branch. we have the committee on the weaponization of government that's going to be doing a lot of that work. my role is to investigate the malign influence and aggression of the chinese communist party, and then that will lead to legislation. for example, i mentioned placing restrictions on chinese land purchases in the united states. i think particularly where we see those near sensitive military facilities it makes sense for us to pass legislation that makes that impossible. theoretically, we tried to get the committee on foreign investment in the united states the ability to do just that, but they've slow-rolled some of these domestic purchases. i think we can pass legislation outlawing these ccp police stations. there's a whole host of things we can do, by the way, in a bipartisan fashion in order to the push back against the clear aggression that we're seeing from the chinese communist

party. and the final thing i'd say, these incidents, the high altitude balloon, this chinese drone, should hammer e home the point to the american people that this isn't just an over there problem. this is a right here at home problem. rachel: yeah. >> this is a matter of american sovereignty and defending our country. rachel: congressman, i love that you have all these solutions of what we can pass, what we can do to take this on. i think that's amazing. i'm still trying to get to the why, so i agree with you, i think climate -- they think it's an existential threat. i believe that's part of it. but i also look at the weakness of biden and the fact that he almost seems scared to react to the chinese. i can't ignore the possibility that he is compromised, that he is afraid that if the he crosses a certain line with them, if he pushes back too far on them, that they have some information on him that they would come after him with the kim the city deals. we already -- with the dirty deals. we already know he's made millions of dollars launderedded through the penn center, through

his son and the dirty deals he's made. are you concerned that our president is compromised? >> i'm concerned at a broader level that we are all too competent economically on chinese communist party. rachel: yeah. >> think back to the earliest stage of the pandemic. they threatened to cut off the export of advanced pharmaceutical ingredients to plunge us into a sea of coronavirus, was the phrase they used. whether it's pharmaceuticals, rare earths, microelectronics, for decades we've pursued this theory that by integrating china into the global economy, it would moderate their behavior, but the result is we surrendered our economic independence, and that gives our foremost adversary e enormous leverage over user. we need to -- us. we need to reclaim our economic independence and the simple doctrine of peace through strength. a. rachel: yeah. we're further increasing that dependencing with this way too premature transition to electric vehicles and so forth, green energy that will make us even

more competent on china. pete: you might need gas for ten more years. rachel: just en. [laughter] pete: congressman mike gallagher, thank you very much, we appreciate it. >> thank you, appreciate it. pete: we go to china and say don't you dare build another coal-fired power plant. and then they say, okay, maybe we won't. oh, we're going to build a power plant! rachel: yeah. pete: it's so, it's lunacy. rachel: we have, like, 225 coal-fired power plants, and they have 1800. pete: they build one every two weeks. rachel: exactly. pete: all right. turning now to your headlines starting with this, four teenage girls are facing charges following a brutal attack on this 14-year-old. who later, tragically, took her own life. a warning, the footage we're about to show you is graphic. the attack the happening last week in the hallway of their school in ocean county, new jersey.

department is issuing their strongest do not travel warning saying you should avoid going to six states in the country. they cite the rise of crime and kidnappings. here to react is senior editor at the federalist, john daniel davidson. john, thank you for joining us this morning. this warning by the state department is quite serious. i'm going to tell you the list of other countries that have a similar warning from the state department. iran, iraq, north korea, ukraine, haiti, somalia and syria. definitely not places that we would consider paradise to vacation in, and now mexico's on that list. what's happening to mexico, and why is it falling into this category? >> yeah. the simple answer is that mexico is being taken over by massive and powerful drug cartels, and these cartels have expanded their operations far beyond drug trafficking. they're involved in mass industrial scale extortion and kidnapping operations, migrant smuggling. they're involved in major industries in mexico.

in some cases they've taken over state and local governments. these are multi-national criminal syndicates operating inside what amounts to a failing state. we would never allow, let's say, syria to be on our southern border and collapse into chaos and anarchy, but that's essentially what's happening in mexico right now. rachel: so it's so interesting, and you absolutely right, it's turning into a narco state. is that -- i mean, how much has to do with the biden policies, and is that the sort of deal they're willing to accept, you know, in order to get this illegal immigration and open our borders, we're willing to accept a failed narco state on our southern border? >> i think the biden administration, like a lot of democrat administrations, views foreign policy through a domestic politics lens, so to them mass illegal immigration is just sort of a proxy for a domestic political squabble, but it really is a national security problem. this problem goes back a long time in mexico, successive

administrations have ignored it and failed to understand it. and now it's getting worse, and so the illegal immigration we see coming in fuels and funds these cartels. they make billions and billions of collars off our -- dollars off our immigration policies and off the biden administration's failure to secure the border. rachel: yeah. they're more powerful than ever. you point out they control 35-40% of mexican territory. i mean, it's frightening. they're interfering with mexican elections. we worry about big tech here, they worry about big tech and cartels influencing the elections, right? >> that's right. in fact, the line between the government and the cartels in many places in mexico has become blurred and almost indistinguishable. we see the most powerful cartel in mexico, the sinaloa cartel, is aligned with the ruling moreno party of president lopez own rah, do and we saw that in the lash -- lopez obrador, and we saw that in mexico where no

if ray know won thanks to the help of the cartel. there's a real collusion, i know 'em can accurates like to use the word collusion, there's a real collusion between the mexican government and cartel, and u.s. policy makers have got to make up to this and get real about what's happening on the southern border. rachel: yeah. you have done amazing investigation and reporting on this. i thank you for raising the alarm on it and, as you say, it is a national security issue of the highest order. john daniel davidson, thanks for joining us this morning. >> thanks for having me. rachel: you got it. and make sure to check out my podcast from the kitchen table. i do have an interview with john davidson as well, and we talk this week, sean and i, about the really devolving situation in mexico. still ahead, recovery operations are underway after u.s. fighter jets took down another object flying in american air space. a former navy submariner breaks down that mission. plus, we're bringing you a little football fun to fox

it's not very easy to track them because they're made out of plastic, vinyl on the top so it doesn't have much of a radar signature, and the payload underneath is generally not that large. the one we shot down over south carolina was a larger one, so they say about the size of three buses. but usually these balloons have a relatively small payload. it's the hard to find on ray car. they move really -- radar. they move really slowly which makes it something that's less threaten, so people react less quickly. we need another the a better job of coming up with a scheme to monitor for slow moving, smaller objects like this. and clearly, this caused them to go retroactively how they had tracked them in the past. joey: you know, you outlined the difference in cost it aches to scramble an f-22 and then i believe it's a side winder that we used to shoot it down. we're talking hundreds of thousands into the millions if we do this over and over again

whereas one of their balloons is less than a million dollars. in other words, we're going to be the on the paying side of this, so they can just keep sending balloons regardless of capability and cost us a lot of money. if we look at this map, we have f-22s, i believe this is the flight path. they come up, they scramble, they wait on the mission, they go out. this is burning fossil fuels, it's costing a lot of time and resources. is there a chance that's part of the mission here? >> that's part of it, certainly. china, what they're trying to do is sort of test the ability of the united states to track these balloons and other drones and see how we respond and just sort of impose costs. they've been doing this to japan with aircraft for about a decade now. so they force us to respond, spending $80,000 an hour with an f-22, spending $300,000 for a sidewinder missile, so that's part of the game here, test our resolve, evaluate our sensing capabilities ask just impose costs. joey: yeah. part of the response should be

come up with an unmanned way of sensing these -- >> right. joey: you know a lot about underwater, we call it basically an unmanned submarine or drone and the idea they can do the same thing they're doing in the sky underwater. expand on that real quick. >> yeah. you could do the same kind of operation we've seen with these balloons and other drones underwater which is a big threat to u.s. ports. if the chinese started to throw some of these in the water off the california coast, they could threaten ships in the los angeles harbor area, we'd have to scramble an entire, you know, scheme to go detect them and find them and recover them which we really don't have today. so these present a significant threat to u.s. coastlines. joey: yeah. that's a threat we'll have to face. brian clark, thank you so much for your service and your expertise. >> my pleasure, joey, thanks. joey: over to you, rachel. rachel: well, we begin with headlines with the latest in the murtaugh double murder trial. a sixth witness identified suspect alec murtagh's voice in

pete: a top economist is warning inflation has a 75% chance of rebounding or remaining high all

while big brands like pepsico and unilever keep raising their prices. joining us now to discuss is cohost of "the big money show" and our friend on fox business, brian brenberg. great to have you this morning. great to see you. we're quick to use the wall, but we're not going off the wall because that's will cain -- >> i don't want to steal anything from will cain's branding, i wouldn't want to do that. pete: great job on "the big money show," by the way. >> thank you. pete: this white house is trying to downplay inflation. this is where it was when they started. talk to us about where it's going. >> okay. so the president likes to say say i inherited a mess. here is what the president inherented, 1.4% inflation. there is nobody in america who says 1.4% inflation is a mess. that's what we would like to get back to concern the. pete: correct. >> what he's given us is this terrible mountain that's come down to the 6.5%, but that's not solving the problem as you know at home.

6.5% inflation is not a solution, it's a continuation -- pete: got it. they're touting this little decrease after this massive -- >> they're touting this, but that's normal, pete, that mustard color down there is normal land. this is biden land, and it's pretty rocky terrain. pete: great way to put it. and if wages increasing by 4-5%, you're in a net positive here, but you're underwater -- >> yeah. over the last two years of the biden administration, the average family's lost $6,000 of purchasing power. that, you're underwater. we're talking about mountains, but you're really underwater. pete: so this next one, we're going to go what inflation has looked like historically. annual inflation rates meaning year e over year, you see these numbers from 2012 forward, pretty low, between 1 and 2% annual inflation. this economist is saying, well, we might have to live with 3 or 4% inflation going forward. >> well, yeah. so what he's saying is you're seeing inflation tick down, but it might not get all the way

there. it'll get sticky at around 3 or 4%. that's a problem. that's still a level that can outpace wages, so people are still going to feel underwater. you want to get down to this 2% level, but in the biden economy if you've got no energy if security, oil prices have come down a little bit, they could to pom -- pop back up here in the summer i'm the, that's a real problem for people who want to see their cost of living go down. if you don't get energy down, you're not going to get cost of living down. pete: great point. a few companies that continue to the raise their prices, before we came on, you made the point that economists can talk about, oh, we think inflation's coming under control, but that's certainly not what average people are feeling. >> no, no. if you listened to the state of the union, the president said things are getting better, we're great and you said to yourself, that's not how i feel, you're right. companies like this are still raising prices. their costs are going up. by the way, it's not just big companies.

half of small businesses expect to raise prices this year. inflation is real. it's not gone away. despite what the white house says, reality tells you it's still a long road ahead. pete: it all gets passed along. by the way, watch "the big money show" on fox business weekdays at 1 p.m. eastern time -- >> and don't worry, will's going to be back soon, so you don't have to worry about off the wall. pete: see you in a moment. ♪ ♪ ♪are you ready♪ ♪are you ready♪
