good morning, welcome to saturday. morning, guys. rachel: it's great to be back. pete: morning. how you doing? rachel: really good. how do you feel about dogs wearing outfits if they're patrioticsome. pete: only if they're patriotism. [laughter] rachel: they get better every single week. pete: how you doing? rachel: good. you know i saw will week. i stopped by. pete: oh, you went to his houses? rachel: yes. we are legit friends. if i go the nashville, i'm going to your house. will: had coffee, sat and figuredded out the world's problems. pete: again? [laughter] rachel: the problems keep coming. will: that's about a half the time we get to the spend with you, four hours figuring out world's problems. let's figure it out. the latest on air national guardsman suspected of leaking
3:03 am
classified documents, jack teixeira facing a judge in boston yesterday. rachel: and the leak revealing disturbing new details on china's effort to spy on the u.s. pete: kevin corke joins us live from washington. >> reporter: good morning, guys. we are learning a lot more from that trove of classified documents posted online by 21-year-old jack teixeira, and that includes a report from the washington post i need to tell you about. it suggests that u.s. intel agencies were aware of up to four additional chinese spy balloons going back two years even as questions lingeredded about the true nature of the one that flew over the continental u.s. in january and february. now, for his part, teixeira was arraigned in boston yesterday. prosecutors requesting he be detainedded pending trial, and they set a pretrial hearing for next wednesday. according to an affidavit, the fbi alleges the pentagon leaker's discord friends turned him into the feds even as he
3:04 am
frantically searched for the word leak on his government-issued computer leading up to his arrest. "the new york times" reports in a final call to his gamer friends, teixeira allegedly said he never wanted to get it like this and said, guys, it's been good, i love you all. that according to a member of the online group who described teixeira this way, quote: he was man, the myth. he was the legend. if everyone respected this guy. he was a christian, anti-war and just wanted to inform some of his friends about what's going on. meanwhile, president biden says his administration is looking for answers following the breach wondering how someone with this level of access was able to obtain, then distribute the such sensitive the information online for months undetected. quote: i've directed our military and intelligence community to take steps to further secure and limit distribution of sensitive information, and our national
3:05 am
security team is closely coordinating with our partners and allies. he then added this last night -- >> i've instructed the department to make sure that they get to the root of why he had access in the first place, number one. and, number two, to focus extensively on the extent to which it all occurred. >> reporter: the a.g., merrick garland, said that teixeira is going to be charged with removing or rank the mitting classified national defense information, that's a crime under the 917 espionage act and is punishable by years in prison. still, critics argue the contents of what has been now disclosed needs putt examinatior examination especially that inconsistent with the government narrative, and that certainly listening something we'll learn about in the days ahead. will: thank you so much, kevin. let's separate this into the messenger and the message. first, can we talk about the
3:06 am
messenger? pete, as we all are, very surprised that some air national guardsman would have access to the this kind of information. i had dan hoffman, the former cia station chief, fox news analyst on my will cain podcast this week, and he didn't rule out -- and i don't think anyone should -- is there more, was he connected, did he have relationships with foreign adversaries. are you surprised at the breadth of the access you would have as an air national guardsman? pete: a little bit, but it all has to do with the classification. he's got a tssci which is a top secret sensitive compartmentalized information. here's the thing, it sounds like he was an i.t. guy which means that, think about it, the i'm sorry i.t -- i.t. guy here at fox could read all our e-mails if he or she wanted to, doesn't mean they're supposed to. sounds like he had gates and portals to things he shouldn't because he was in i.t.
3:07 am
i was flabbergast flabbergasted when i had that, what i could find. i didn't really ever, i stuck to what we were doing, but you can find a lot with a certain clearance. will: you know what i think as well, this guy -- and we'll get to the message in a minute though, but he's not a hero. he's not trying to be a leaker, he's not trying to disseminate to the american people the truth. he's trying to impress -- by all accounts -- pete: yes. will: he's trying to impress his buddies on the internet. rachel: yeah. and i think there could be a lot to this. it's interesting how i've shifted over the years. i remember when the first big leakers came out, you know, i was trying to figure it out but always -- i have family in intelligence so, you know, i always felt like that was a breach of, you know, you're practically treasonous, righting? you know, you're a ray to have if you -- traitor if you trade these secrets. boy, i have a hard time looking
3:08 am
at -- it's hard to separate the message from the messenger, for me. and i'm not sure. i'm not going to say he's a hero, but i don't think he's a bad guy. especially as he's, you know, telling us things that our government is doing against the will of the people. i have to say i am not sure how i feel about this -- pete: and now we learn that the chinese spy balloons, they're not telling us -- rachel: exactly. and there's more to it. a lot of people are saying there's no way this is just, that they didn't know what's happening. a lot of people are putting a lot more conspiracy theories behind this which, as you know, a lot of them become spoiler alerts. could this be a way to push the restrict act, to make it more relevant, to make, you know, people want, want this more or have a better -- use it that way to push -- and that would put, you know, all of us many jeopardy of government -- will: i have to separate the messenger from the message because this guy also, look, he put american lives in jeopardy.
3:09 am
anybody that is out in the field trying to help the, you know, there's an ability to say is the machine telling us the truth, and we should talk about that, and that's clearly not case. we are being lied to. but also human beings are out there trying to serve -- pete: you're right about that. will: -- and he has put their lives in jeopardy. pete: for sure. you mentioned snowden. well, glenn greenwald, he's journalist who wrote that, he was on jessie's show last night and talked about how the government treats different types of leaks differently. >> you ever pick up "the new york times," "the washington post" or hear cmn knows that corporate journalists every single day report classified information that has been leaked. they go on tv the all the time and they say anonymous sources told us x, y and dis, is and yet none of this kind of uproar ever happens because those are authorized leaks. these are ting -- things the cia or the fbi or the pentagon want
3:10 am
the american people to hear. it's propaganda. what's different here is this was an unauthorized leak. it reveals that the biden administration if has been lightening about the extent of their role -- lying about the the extent of hair war in ukraine. we should want to know about in this, but they don't want us to know about it. rachel: yeah. i'm kind of sick of all the secrets. i'm ready for everything to be -- [laughter] just tell me what happened with jfk, tell us the truth about the war, don't send our troops in without telling the american people. don't put us in a war and tell us we're not in a war. i i want transparency on how much money has gone to ukraine, where are the weapons. i want to know it all. am i wrong? pete: we deserve to know those typeses of things. there are reasons governments keep secrets. i used to have faith in why they were keeping those secrets, but we don't have faith anymore, and that's the problem. will: this is the message, for me, when you have a war that has not been voted upon by congress that we're told the united states of america is not key
3:11 am
netically involved, we know they're about to deploy special forces in the field in ukraine, when we're not told the truth about something as important as american lives and a war, yes, now to the message that this leak has revealed which we intuitively knew is we're just not told the truth op on much of anything. rachel: right. you guys are going to do an off the wall, deep dive into the document leaks and see how it compares to past classified leaks, and that's coming up at 8:40 a.m. i can't wait for that. pete: it's coming up. i better study up. [laughter] i've got two and a half hours. we'll do it. the last five days joe biden's been doing the family reunion in ireland. so all this is going on, and joe biden is tracing his family tree and talking about really weird stuff and telling kids not to get covid if they want to pursue their dreams -- [laughter] it's been a rambling, a rolling set of nonsense. anyway, he did answer a question
3:12 am
about his future plans as he's delayed announcing whether he'll run again. if you missed it, here's joe biden talking about whether he'll run in '24. watch. >> reporter: -- whether the last few days have changed your calculus for when you'll make an announcement on -- >> no, no, no. i've already made that calculus. we'll announce it relatively soon. but the trip here just reinforced my sense of optimism about what can be done. >> reporter: so you've made a decision? >> i told you, my plan is to run again. rachel: joe biden and maybe hunter because he's along on another trip, are they only optimistic people left in america? [laughter] it's such a weird statement. like, there's such a sense of malaise over the country, and he's out in ireland as you said, you know, following his family tree and talking about how optimistic he is as americans are suffering and really scared. pete: it speaks to how effective they've created a bubble around
3:13 am
him. rachel: yeah. pete: you know? i mean, the advisers that carefully cure rate every aspect of his life to the make sure he has minimal amounts of slip-ups in the public eye and there's hunter. look at that. he's very proud of his son. rachel: meanwhile, president trump -- who is definitely running and has declared that he is -- was in indianapolis. here's what he had to say about democrats and joe biden. >> all of us here today have been engaged in an epic if struggle against the corrupt forces and communist maniacs, and they're all over the place. that are absolutely trying to destroy our country. they want to take away your guns while throwing open the jailhouse doors and releasing blood-thirsty criminals into your communities. they want to abolish your borders and impoverish your families while spending your money on endless and very, very stupid foreign wars. they want to demonize patriots
3:14 am
and persecute christians while pushing the transgender cult9 on your children. pete: real good request summary right there. will: that was president trump at the nra convention in indianapolis. you know, there will be many issues which have to be debated in the 204 the presidential election, but i would suggest there's not many that should take a backseat to joe biden's mental competency. it's just like, you're going to do this again? and it's not going to get better, and this is going to lead the free world? i can't think of anything more important to be discussed and explored. rachel: except that we all know that that for the last few years somebody else has been running show. and so i think real question is who is behind the cur indiana the, who is doing -- curtain the, who is doing all this? pete: and that's the person that will say, of course, joe, run. [laughter] we still have the keys to the king come -- rachel: it's the obama third term the, we all kind of know
3:15 am
that. pete: it is i amazing. there will be books written in the future about how they manipulated this. they're not going to talk about it now -- rachel: there'll be a time magazine piece, remember the that one? pete: what do we do, how do we control his schedule, you know, when's nap time? it's so self-evidence, will, to your point that i think it will become a central -- will: meanwhile, you're aware, it's probably hit your radar, bud light chose to endorse or to hire dylan mulvaney as an influencer for their beer. this, of course -- it's interesting, i want to say it lit the internet on fire, but it actually spill over into, i think, the american culture. everyone became aware that dylan mulvaney, a trans man, man trans to woman was endorsed or became the influencer. i believe bud light's stock shed
3:16 am
manager like $5-6 billion in value. the ceo of anheuser-busch put out a statement and said we never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. we are in the business of bringing people together over a beer. the statement was -- pete: not an apology. will: well, it said nothing really. i mean, i don't know how many words it was, but with it really said nothing. pete: well, because they're in a steel trap. this is a woke company, and i've read multiple -- rachel: and donald trump jr.'s saying, no, they're not, they give to republicans. pete: long been a woke company. ultimately, do they kiss avow what they did -- disavow what they did, sending cans to dylan mulvaney? they can't do that because that would crosses their corporate culture, or do they -- will: they would be the subject of a massive backlash. pete: be but would they really amongst consumers? will: no. massive in the 10% of the world of social media, but probably more importantly, their employees. you know there's going to be a
3:17 am
very vocal segment of their employee a base that says, whoa, now you're transphobic, bud light? and maybe wall street. i think that's an undersold part of this. wall street through its esg, environmental, social, governance policies, invest in companies that live up to things like the cei, the corporate equality index, which requires you to market to, quote-unquote, inclusive demographics. bud light's in a to have spot -- tough spot which they should never have venture into these waters to begin with. rachel: it was a total unction understanding of their brand, of their customers. but also the -- pete: kid rock understands his brandt, understands where people are at. rachel: the harvard graduate woman who came up with this idea of having dylan mull vaughnny do this -- mulvaney do this said in earlier interviews like, look, we need to change this brand because it's too fratty, it's too male. which is interesting, because by
3:18 am
putting dylan mulvaney, they're actually diminishing women. they're erasing -- pete: excuse me, who drinks cases of beer? young men. rachel: of course. but it's interesting, she's trying to -- pete: i know. rachel: but at the same time, she's actually hurting her own gender, she's actually hurting women who are now being erased, they're being, you know, disqualify out of all kinds of sporting events, they're being replaced even -- they can't even, women can't even get "sports illustrated" anymore. they're getting replaced by trans men in "sports illustrated" as models. i'm not saying that's the be-all, en-all -- pete: i can't tell you how many of my apolitical friends are, like, i'm never drinking bud light again. rachel: really? pete: yes. rachel: why do you think donald trump jr -- he says company gives 60% of its donations to -- i love the boycott. i just don't trust republican conservatives to make it last.
3:19 am
we're just not as good at it -- pete: all you've got to do is go from the blue can to the sill van can, it's not that hard. a few additional headlines, new court documents revealing cash app founder bob lee was stabbed to death just hours after visiting the suspect's sister. text messages show lima confronted lee about his relationship with his sister who is married. prosecutors say he stabbed lee three times with a kitchen knife in his chest and hip outside a luxury building in san francisco. suspect's first court appearance was yesterday. he's being held without bail. his arraignment is set for april 25 theth. now to a security scare in japan. the prime minister is whisked away and a suspect arrested after a loud explosion at an outdoor campaign event. watch. [background sounds] [inaudible conversations]
3:20 am
pete: the suspect quickly wrestled to the ground after tossing what witnesses describe as a pipe bomb or smoke bomb. no one, thankfully, was hurt. and a private school in upstate state is sill forcing children to wear maxes outdoorsesome -- masks outdoors? the elizabeth ann croon montessori school is still enforcing harsh masking measures, and parents are outraged. one mother saying i could tolerate most of the stuff, the teachers in n95s and face shields, but i just wanted them to end the outdoor masking? rachel: listen to, you guys, i read the article. the students actually have a sign language, a secret sign language so they can talk during lunch, and, you know, they have all kinds of -- they still don't sing happy birthday at this, because you can't sing because of covid. this is a cult. and if shame on those parents for sending their kids to this

rachel: with 1 in 9 people above the age of 65 suffering from alzheimer's disease, experts predict cases could reach 150 million people worldwide by 2050, but a breakthrough new study discovers gut health could be linked to the disease saying, quote, the gut microbuy yacht that affects brain health. our new guest is helping make sure sugar taxes fail, now the he advocates for healthy food sniffs. -- incentives. thank you so much, kali. this is sofas a nateing. tell us about this connection between gut health and alzheimer's. >> here's the headline: alzheimer's is a food-borne illness. this should be front page news
3:26 am
on every paper in america. right now we're eating a hundred times more sugar hand we did a hundred years ago, 70% of our diet is ultra-processed food, and increasing research shows this disrupts the highly important bacteria in our gut that regulate ares a lot of hormones, a lot of important issues. and other research is also showing alzheimer's is now called type iii diabetes, it's so tied to metabolic dysfunction, it's really an extension of diabetes. and i think here's the core point viewers should know, you're being lied to. alzheimer's is under your control. other conditions like cancer is increasingly being showed to be tied to food. it's not a profitable message for pharma if which depends on patients being in the dark and, frankly, being sick and managing their conditions, not having this empowering information. rachel: yeah. i think this has all been intuitive for americans for a long time. i think this is the sleeper issue of the next election. whoever takes on big pharma and
3:27 am
big food because it's also diabetes. we see childhood diabetes, and no one's to doing anything about it. maybe now that it's old people who vote, we'll start caring more about young people who are getting diabetes at ages that are just uns precedented. >> type ii diabetes was very recently called adult-onset diabetes. rachel: yes. >> today 25% of teens have pre-chi beets. this is most -- pre-diabetes. this is the most first order, important issue facing our country when 50% of teens almost are obese or when 17% of teens have patty deliver disease which you would never see many if children concern fatty liver disease. what the research shows is that our bodies are connected to our brain. just as we can see the visual effects of this metabolic disaster, 20% of our -- again, yeah, we're being told this is complicated. this is the greatest lie in medicine, the fact that all these things are happening at
3:28 am
once, it's time to bury simple things. rachel: it is. it's actually such an empowering message. we have so much power in our own families, at our own kitchen tables with our own children to make them healthy, but big pharma and big food and ultra-processed foods are killing us really, literally. and bringing on dementia. message is fascinating. thanks for bringing it to the public, and i hope politicians are listening, because there's a lot of us parents out there who who want someone to take on these two industries. thank you so much for joining us today. fascinating. >> thank you. people are waking up and i appreciate it. rachel: i think so too. still ahead, the department of justice charges 28 cartel members over drug trafficking including some of "el chapo"'s own children. what we know about the cartel crackdown can. ♪ ♪

♪ will: the department of justice announcing charges against 28 cartel members yesterday including some of "el chapo"'s own children. the charges focus on the sinaloa cartel for trafficking fentanyl. some of the cartel's chinese suppliers are also included. here to react is senior writer for townhall.com, julio rosas. i'd love to talk to you about the significance of these charges, of this effort by the doj. on screen here, i don't know if you can see, julio, but those watching at home can, what you see is mexico and sort of the fiefdoms of the mexican drug can cartels which over time kind of was broken up into little fiefdoms and emerges once again with two primary car cartels, the sinaloa cartel and jalisco new generation in central mexico here in the lighter blue. these, julio, these charges focus largely on the sinaloa
3:34 am
cartel. how significant that be many combating drug trafficking into the u.s.? >> i mean, it is pretty significant because we,eing we've known for a long time, obviously, that the drugs come from china, they're made in mexico and, of course, travel to the u.s. if what this investigation is significant is because they're going to lay out exactly how that works x that's why those individuals are being named. and it's the also kind of significant with the timing because it wasn't too long ago when the mexican president said that fentanyl is not a mexican problem in the sense that it's not made in mexico which, of course, is obviously not true. the mexican military and police are finding pretty significant, big fentanyl labs in mexico. and so i think, you know, when you look at all the pills that are being seized at the nogales port of entry, that's sinaloa's territory. it's going to be very interesting to see exactly, basically, how the sausage is
3:35 am
made through this investigation and through the trial. will: yeah. background on sinaloa, it was the organization fronted by "el chapo" for many years. it is the, there have been rumors and suspicions not only was the sinaloa cartel connected to the mexican government, deep thely corrupted, but also potentially by united states dea in that there's been questions about whether or not deals have been cut to do away with other e cartels, and then this is the result. julio, this is the united states of america, and this shows major cities across the u.s. represented by which cartels have the biggest influence. sinaloa in orange, jalisco new generation in yellow. all the way from new york down to houston, out the l.a., orange dots everywhere you look. this is sinaloa. julio, as i understand it, sinaloa not only dominates mexico and the united states, it dominates the fentanyl trade. >> right. and so when you have a drug like fentanyl where it's not limited to a growing season, where it's
3:36 am
cheap, where it's much easier to traffic into the united states, that's already a pop. -- problem. but now we're seeing it's being cut with animal tangly byizer -- tranquilizer. a that makes it even more powerful, and it also, to my understanding, it negates the effects of narcan. so now even if you are able to get that drug to someone who's having an overdose, if it's now being cut at the street level with the animal tranquilizer, you're probably not going to survive an overdose which is obviously concerning. we're seeing it spread in cities like philadelphia and las vegas. will: yeah. shows how deeply this problem exists geographically, institution theally. -- institutionally. big battle to stop this poisoning of americans. julio rosas, great to see you, thank you. >> thank you. will: still ahead, the 21-year-old accused pentagon leaker appearing in court yesterday. a former navy jag officer joins us next with the consequences that guardsman could face.

saucier who was never charged, the the sailor who was given a year, can be charged under the general article of ucmj, and, therefore, in the manning case we saw charges under the espionage act of 1917. in fact, we have overlapping charges that both of these defendants have faced. but it is a civilian court as opposed to military court for the reason that you've outlined, he was basically not on active duty at the time he was arrested or apparently committed the events. will: don, i wanted to ask you very quickly, you know, it strikes me, i've had conversations with people that there are many thousands of people that share the profile of jack teixeira, meaning his security clearance. whatever his abilities may be, it doesn't look at this point incredibly sophisticated. and as such, i would think that the government would want to make an example of him. my suspicion would be they'd want too some deterrence by
3:44 am
throwing every -- the book at him to try to deter anyone else who could have access to the same kind of thing he did. what's your thought? >> well, you know, pete and i both served as military officers and have at times had certain classified clearances, and, you know, you sweat bullets when you have classified information because classified information released even -- can lead to criminal prosecution. so, you know, i would imagine if right now he's in the 25 years, you don't want your national secrets to be released. of course there's the other issue, are you shooting the messenger here. so you've got to be kind of -- it's going to be to be an interesting predicament in terms of how far the government wants to go in terms of making an example of the kid -- this kid was 19 when he got clearance, and there's some issues there as well. rachel: hey, don, is there a difference between the way a military service member is treated when they mishandle documents and say a politician
3:45 am
like hillary clinton? >> you raise a great question, rachel, because there's a doable standard. you think about jim comey in 2016 says hillary has 110 classifieded e-mails on her personal server, some of which are top secret and, by the way, that could have brought a prosecution under section 1924 of the espionage act which is what this kid's being prosecuted under. so you've got the a terrible double standard. you've got multiple troves of classified information found in biden's corvette in delaware, and nobody touches him. i, if your name is saucier or anyone in the military, you are going to be the made, you know with, you're going to be the made an example of. and i'm not saying it's not serious because it is, but the double standard is kiss concerting, and has this kid possibly even revealed the war powers act. he's required to notice the -- notify the congress within 48 hour, so the kid may have opened a can of worms, but you raised the point it's a horrible double
3:46 am
standard here and it's got to be cleaned up. rachel: don, thank you so much. >> see you soon. rachel: i wonder if he transitions he get pardoned just like obama paroledded chelsea concern. [laughter] now to a couple headlines. the biden energy department green lights an 800-mile natural gas pipeline project in alaska first approved by the trump administration, and climate activists are not happy. they're calling the pipeline another carbon bomb. the alaska gas request line development -- gas line development corporation says the $38 billion project will create 10,000 jobs during construction and 1,000 permanent jobs. pete: so hay like this pipeline. rachel: yeah. pete: there must have been some big political influence. rachel: king charles iii's coronation if is just weeks away, and some big stars will be performing to honor the u.k.'s new monarch. lionel richie, katy perry and opera singer who we interviewed

transmits back live so we can see what the player's seeing. we saw some amazing catches both on the offensive and defensive side of the ball last year, and we're looking forward to a better image quality and better sound coming from the players as we go through the season this year. >> reporter: amazing. well, we are really looking forward to it, and if you're watching at home, you now know who is behind all the things that you see, because this truly is a special game. apartment of the reason why usfl made it to season two, so we're looking forward to fit. brad, thank you so much. >> thank you. pete: pretty cool job, come up with cool ways to show football.

pete: well, get this, the world's first smart gun has now hit the market. the .9 mm costs $1500 and requires fingerprint and facial recognition to shoot. it also immediately hock ares when the authorized user is finished, when they let go of it. here with the details, curt the cyber guy. curt, tell us about in this. sounds interesting.
3:54 am
>> hey, pete, good morning to you. we've been tracking this biometric gun-shooting smart gun market for about, oh, or i don't know, since 2015 actually. and this one is the first one to the actually come to market for the fingerprint. it's called bio fire. it e has just been launched. it is taking orders right now for preorder, they expect to deliver or this gun, it's the a .9 mm, in the beginning of 2024, and it does use the tint or the face recognition. i still have a lot of questions about this gun. i mean, the goal here, by the way, created out of this colorado company is to create a fire arm that would be safe at a house. so it's -- the goal is to cut down on accidents that happen with kids and also when someone else gets ahold of your gun, they wouldn't be able to shoot, use it against you. i've got some questions. my questions would be, all right, what if i have a sweaty hand at that time and my fingerprint isn't being read and, you know, does then the
3:55 am
facial recognition kick in and help -- i haven't tested it, so i'm anxious to actually get it in my hands, get out on a range and see how it performs. st the a great the step forward -- it's a great step forward. we also, pete, have these asinine laws, for example, new jersey, which has reformed this law, used to make it very restrictive for a gun shop owner to carry a smart gun like this, saying that if you did this, you couldn't carry other guns. it was just so stupid. well, those are gone now, so we might actually see some incentive now for not just gun companies, but technology companies to sort of come together like bio fire has and bring this to market to just introduce some weapons that, you know, i think it's actually going to create a new market for people who otherwise would not have purchased a gun. and now they'll have the ability to protect their family at their house because they won't worry so much about the dangers that are inherent to ownership of a gun, especially for those who aren't familiar with them.

pete: it's a laud are bl goal, but what if you forget to change the batteries or, you're right, your fingerprint's not registering, then it's not so smart anymore. >> questions to be answered. pete: always breaking it down for us, thank you very much. still ahead, a conservative dad fed up with woke companies unveils his own beer. we'll bring it you. ♪ ♪ save up to 30% on moving and storage until april 17th. and see why pods has been trusted with over 6 million moves nationwide. save up to 30% now until april 17th. visit pods.com today! oh booking.com, ♪ i'm going to somewhere, anywhere. ♪ ♪ a beach house, a treehouse, ♪ ♪ honestly i don't care ♪ find the perfect vacation rental for you booking.com, booking. yeah.
