good morning and welcome to the fourth hour of pox and friends. concern "fox & friends." hey, speaking of usfl, memphis showboats' running back alex collins, he's boeing to to show abby hornacek how irish accept dangs has helped with -- step dancing has helped with speed. dance and cross-training has always been part of high-level athletics. pete: and i think we're going to do a little bit of that later. rachel: we did step dancing. one of you guys did a jig. pete: we're going to bring back the tape, obviously, of will and his irish jig dancing. it looked just about like that, he's got great moves -- will: thank you. pete: because you're an elite level athlete. will: yeah, well, what can you do? [laughter] pete: it's the burden you carry. rachel: we're going another some dancing later. maybe another show we'll do some

flamenco dancing. pete: probably next weekend. will: we've done it all. have we not done -- rachel: no, we have not done flamenco. will: what did we do with -- we did something. pete: salsa. rachel: those dance thers were dressed so sexy, i thought -- pete: you don't remember? [laughter] i don't believe that. rachel: i don't believe that. [laughter] will: yeah. rachel: oh, boy. will: anyway, president biden back in the united states this morning after wrapping up his 4-e day trip to ireland, no reports of step dancing. rachel: no, or falling. and before he left, he got a rock star welcome ahead of his speech last night. check this out. ♪ [cheers and applause] pete: well, biden can't fill a

conference room mt. united states, but he's popular over there. peter doocy joins us live from the dublin. peter, how you doing? >> reporter: and if you would have played that for 10 seconds longer, you would have seen president biden irish step dancing. just kidding. his trip here was very, very light on u.s. policy. it was heavy on biden family history. however, overnight when he landed back in delaware for beach weekend, he did address in detail the classified document leak. >> 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 extensive hi on the extent to which it all occurred. and that's going on right now. i have nothing to report beyond what's already been reported. >> reporter: because he mentioned what's been report proked, there is a new report based on those leaked documents that the u.s. officials were

aware of at least four additional chinese spy craft flying over the u.s. that is according to "the washington post." none of that really came up here though. president biden visited the irish priest who delivered last rites to his son beau biden, and he visited a hospice in mayo where his ancestor thes lived. politico's comments: a major question has hung over biden's trip to ireland, would he stay forever? and there was a comment president biden made while he was boarding air force one that his decision to run for re-election will be announced imminently. but that kind of conflicts with something else that he said while he was on the ground here in ireland which is that he is at the end of his career, not at the gunning. beginning. back to you. will: thanks for that, peer. rachel: i guess jill biden -- pete: she wasn't along on the

trip. rachel: yeah. she's definitely ready for him to run, but he said some very conflicting things which happens when you're a little confused. pete: he told a bunch of little kids that the key to success is nobody getting covid. rachel: right. keep, deep thoughts. keep thoughts by joe biden. pete: and we also learn now that intel agencies under the previous administration knew about these chinese spy craft, which which we shouldn't call them balloons, people think it's insignificant, it's not if the. but the executive branch wasn't told about it, so it makes you wonder who knows what and what are they sharing especially in light of these additional leaks showing even more involvement in ukraine than anyone would publicly admit. what can you trust? that's what steven motherrer said e -- mosher on a program, i don't know which one. rachel: i think it was on ingraham. >> let's not call them spy balloons because that makes it sound like we're at a kids'

birthday party. they're air ships. they're very sophisticated air ships. they carry enough solar power panels to generate 10,000 watts of electricity, they carry sophisticated radar, they carry sophisticated cameras, they can gather information. instead of doing sense bl thing and bringing it down over land intact, we waited until it was over water, submerged it, destroyeded it and we learned we cannot trust our government to be honest with us. part of leadership is setting a good example when it comes to things like handling classified documents, taking responsibility for your mistakes when something like this happens. and we have to ask ourselves whether president biden ever, ever does this. rachel: yeah. i mean, listen,st the obvious we can't trust our government, there's more and more information leaking out about this. let's bring in dan bongino, the host of "unfilteredded with dan bongino" and author of the great book, "the gift of failure."

dan, just gets more and more troubling, and it's sort of like this drip, drip, drip, like if we had gotten the whole information at beginning, we would be even more alarmed than i think americans were. and also i think stephen mosher makes a great point, these are not, you know, balloons like at a birthday party, these are spy ships, and they indicate based on everything else that we know that the chinese are doing, that they are preparing for war. >> yeah. you know, let's talk about a few things. so pete's on my show tonight, as he knows, he knows because he was there, and it's a really good hit. we were supposed to talk about one thing, me and pete, and we wound up going in a different correction on this leaker, the documents kid, and and that's tied to this china story. i'm not trying to hijack your segment, i promise, because the same thematic element applies here. the theme here is that, rachel, we've been lied to so often by our government about just about every significant, major issue of our time that nobody trusts

anything they say anymore. i mean, we could go through the list, but the segment's only, what, 5, 10 minutes long, right in benghazi, collusion, the laptop the, i i mean, the list is -- pete: covid, yeah. >> -- endless. so pete and i are talking about this leaker, and i'm going to get to the balloon story, i promise you, but the leaker story, like, it seems pretty straightforward, right in no one's questioning the kid -- well, he's an adult. the massachusetts air national guard. the story seems feasible, right? he's playing video games with these kids, he wants to look like a tough guy, look, i got these documents. the story seems peez bl and yet you're like, yeah, i don't know. rachel: totally, khan. [laughter] >> i'm dead serious. i'm just saying i was a cop once, and to you come into my precinct, right, and the five prior times you've come in and given me a tip it's turned out on bull, you get the point, right? the sixth time i'm going another

the my homework on that the. i'm not going to be the, like, i'm taking you, your first story. so on the chinese, this is how the story ties many in here. when this story first broke, i was doing "unfiltered," we went live that night with that segment, and i said to you that you can go pull it -- [laughter] i said you know why the china spy a balloon story ooh's not a story? because the story is that it's not a story. this has been happening forever. china's been dog walking us for the longest -- by the way, over multiple administrations. now, trump took them a little more seriously hand this administration does, but i saidst a story, this china spy balloon thing, i said these exact words, because it's not a story. because we've been letting them do this. because we're too preoccupied with woke videos the navy's putting out on its instagram feed celebrating, like, lgbtq

iabiopc2 +1, whatever, videos instead of securing the homeland. will: you know, dan, i'm sitting here listening to you thinking you're absolutely right about the fact that we've been lied to so often that no one has earned the goodwill of granting them trust. but, dan, i was listening and thinking, you know, that actually applies retrospectively as well. like, what the reveals to me is how long and throughout american history have we been manipulated or has our information been cultivate ed to have a certain view is. i mean, i'm talking about decades, dan, going back -- >> yes. will: so what i ask myself is how does it go going forward? because we're now in the information age. you can't control three newspapers that control the way the american people think anymore. you have to control the internet. and good luck with that. in this kid is just a kid who was an air national guardsman, good luck controlling the propaganda machine going forward. rachel: but isn't that what this is about, dan, because this could lead to the restrict act. >> yes, exactly. don't you find it awfully

coincidental that the restrict act, which would enable basically bind's cabinet for the first time in american history, basically, formally censor americans online? that thing goes down in flames, it's losing support, and all of a sudden, wow, look what happens on a discord channel. we've got to regulate social media. i'm not a conspiracy theory guy because i ran out of conspiracy theories, they all came true, every single one of them. like will just said, they haven't earned our trust. but, will, i want you to keep something in mind. i come from the law enforcement space, not the intel arena, but we consume volumes of intelligence overseas to the make sure the president doesn't get killed. cia, everybody feeds us stuff, so we read their product. we're black and white. the secret service's mission is clear, the president gets home safe, that's it. and if he gets home safe, you win. the intel community doesn't work like that. the intel community works on a probability continuum. i'm 90% sure bin laden's in

abbot a bad. if navy seals get killed, your career is over. if now, follow me here. that's why i never take these stories leaking from the intel community at first pass, because what you see in the intel if community is a lot of them, the political ones -- the there's a lot of patriots out there, but the political ones have been dog walking us ooh ooh. they go to suckers in the media with, natasha bertrand, all of these mouth pieces for the intel community, and if that probability guy who said there's a 51% chance it's not a chinese spy balloon, if that guy thinks he can manipulate the media to get his narrative out there and make him look better, he's going another the it. and suckers in the media fall for it every time. and that's the problem where we are right now. the intel community is always going to do that. you're always going to have some bad actor to theses. you're going to have patriots too. if we had an honest media, they would hold them in check and outside of greenwald, taibbi and maybe a handful of others who

are not conservatives, by the way, absolutely none of them will hold these people to account, and that's why we're going to get dog walked again by these people. pete: bringing it, as you always do. dan, who do you got on the show tonight? >> i got the great pete hegseth, you may have heard of them. i've got dana white, covered ufc back in miami and they worked with uwa. i've got a former mobber is the, i love mob move movies, i want to see which ones were real and which ones weren't, and an mit professor, max tegmark, to talk about the increasingly growing threat of a.i., this guy knows what he's talking about, it's very reasonedded. this guy stays -- says straight up, listen, man, you better be careful with this thing. and he says something really surprising about china and a.i., and if you watch the segment, you'll see it caught me off guard. it's interesting. rachel: wow. you've got me hooked.

i'm watching. pete: thanks, dan. rachel: thanks, dan. will: tucker carlson has a big interview monday night with elon musk. rachel: yeah. will: big sitdown interview, and elon, we're getting a little bit of a preview of this, and elon says on the topic of a.i. he thinks it has the potential to croix civilization. watch. if. >> a.i. is more dangerous than, say, mismanaged aircraft designed for production maintenance or bad car production in the sense that it is, it has the potential however small one may regard that probability but it is not trivial, it has potential of civilizational destruction. pete: i don't think he's saying that lightly either, and he's saying that with eons more insight into a.i. than any of us have, the potential and what it could unlock. and, of course, anything humans create even if you're attempting to create it for good will be

used for ill as well. like, bad actors are going to the take nuclear weapons as an example. you build one to the end world war ii, you think you can constrict the edge the, now north korea has one, iran will have one and terrorist groups want one. it's going to the happen with a.i. too. rachel: we talked on another show about a.i. ethicists, there aren't enough. they're trying to actually churn them out now, but then that even presents a problem because the earth siss -- ethicists are hired by the companies who need to say he was the an ethicist, but then they're sort of bought by the company, so are we really getting the true ethics and debate that we need around this technology. mark meredith talks a little bit about this -- pete: this is staggering. rachel: yeah, this is interesting. pete: it's deep brain a.i. where people can pay to bring loved ones back from the dead. watch. [background sounds] >> reporter: in 2020 the a south korean documentary crew

captured the heartbreaking moment when a mother reunited with her deceased 7. -year-old daughter through a.i -- 7-year-old daughter. while she couldn't physically touch her daughter, the moment is chilling. psychiatrists telling fox technology like this can also create problems. will: oh, my god. rachel: yeah. i mean, talk about the ethicists, right? listen, we're moving into new world, it's like trans-humanism. who is going to the put the brakes on so much of this stuff, and how do we return to --@. pete: how is that not devastating? do you know what i mean? then what is your non-daughter, artificial daughter say back to you x and then it's not really what your daughter would have said and you know it's all artificial -- rachel: it feels creepy. pete: it doesn't feel like it's good for your emotions. rachel: yeah. i'd love to bring a psychologist on the show to the talk about that. that would be really interesting. will: welk we will. we'll continue that conversation

tomorrow. we're going to dive more deeply into examples of how a.i. is impacting everyday life. rachel: i think it kind of left us all a little speechless. that's pretty heavy. will: yeah. a few additional headlines, fox news alert, panic in the capital of sudan. the african mission's army scrambling fighter jets as it battles powerful militias trying to overthrow the military-led government. u.s. embassy staffers and the u.s. ambassador to sudan are reportedly sheltering in place as the two sides fight for control. secretary of state antony blinken sharing his concern moments ago, urging an immediate end to the violation. pro-abortion activists set to the hold rallies in d.c. and big cities across country today. this after the supreme court agrees to the temporarily halt the restrictions on the nation's most widely used abortion pill. justice samuel alito imposing a 5-day hold on a lower court ruling. this follows the doj's appeal of a texas judge's ruling calling

for the suspension of the fda's approval of the drug due to safety concerns. and jersey shore, a jersey shore town steeped many faith is celebrating the grand opening of its new cross-shaped pier. a ribbon cutting happening this just hours in motion grove. it was the rebuilt after the original one was destroyed back in 2012 in superstorm sandy. the construction team says the new pier is built to withstand any storm. and those are your headlines. pete: it's pretty cold. rachel: just like faith in christ. pete: that's right. i didn't know about ocean grove until recently, founded as a christian town, it's a part of its history. this was all privately funded. it stood up and said, of course, this is a good thing, a public symbol we want to celebrate. really neat. rachel: that is beautiful. awesome. well, we have a big show coming up tomorrow. senator ron johnson, congressman henry cuellar, maria bartiromo,

comedienne karen foster, plus how martial arts is a win for the whole family. karate. pete: karate in the garage. up next on this show, the babylon bee is buzzing against the woke hive. the legal action they're taking against california to protect free speech on social media. ♪ -- is in a bank in the muddle of beverly hills -- ♪ in somebody else's name. ♪ so if you're dreaming -- ♪

will: the popular comedy satire web site the babylon bee is suing california and their attorney general over a law they claim is violating free speech. the law requires social media platforms to publicly post their terms of service, define inappropriate speech and submit biannual reports on how they enforce it or face $15,000 a day in fines. here with more is babylon bee ceo seth dillon. seth, great to see you this morning. talk to me about this, okay, a censorship bill, right? i'm just going to the play devil's advocate for a moment, i wouldn't mind somebody trying to define inappropriate speech. can we just lay it out?

oregon what california can do about it -- i don't know what california can do about it. tell me how it's infringement upon freeway speech. >> the big issue is these categories they're trying to regulate, misinformation, disinformation, extremism, radicalism, they want policies on these things. and what we've learned from the past and we've experienced this firsthand is they get misinformation wrong, they call satire misinformation, they called the hunter biden laptop story misinformation, they constant lu getting it wrong. so defining that and saying they're going to the take it down is very difficult. the reason it's a problem for speech is because our knowledge changes over time, you know? we have all these examples of times where they thought they had it right, they censored people base on the facts, and then the facts change. so the way to foster free speech in the public square is to let people debate and talk, not make policies about what they can and can't say and try to enforce it based on these overly broad definitions. will: you're absolutely right. definitions are malleable to

whatever the political movement or power is at that given time. what is hate speech, what is kiss information, what is inappropriate. so you've sued california a.g., i'm sure under the banner of the first amendment. tell me about the lawsuit. what are the -- tell me about your prospects as far as you can tell. >> well, the purpose of the lawsuit, you know, bill doesn't impact us directly in the sense that it's applied to social media companies. so the bill is targeted at facebook, at twitter, at youtube and reddit and platforms like that, and what it's trying to do is get them to enforce these policies. they call it a transparency bill, but really it's about censorship. newsom is on record saying that the purpose of this bill is to protect people from hate speech, disinformation, you know, hateful kick, stuff like that. so that's what their stated purpose of the bill is, and what they're requiring these companies to do is have these policies, engage in all this enforcement, document all their enforcement, report it to the

state. the state wants to be able to say, hey, look, these guys aren't doing must have to censor. they want more end censorship, not less. it doesn't apply to the babylon bee directly, but these platforms are what the supreme court has called the public square of the digital age. we have to be able to speak on these platforms, not have state actor the -- act ors involves and having them tell us which platform is unacceptably allowing too much speech. will: another clear, sacker the choice, i guess another platform of gavin newsom's bid for united states. you, too, can have this in tennessee, texas and florida if you like gavin newsom or that little dystopian empire being built in california. seth, always great to see you, thank you. >> great to see you. will: still ahead, the department of justice charges 28 cartel members over fentanyl trafficking including some of "el chapo"'s own children. sara carter on the cartel crackdown next. plus, will the new touchdown

dance be an irish jig? how dancing is making usfl players better athletes. abby is going to show us her skills coming up. ♪ ♪

rachel: welcome back to "fox & friends." mt. fight against the fentanyl crisis, the justice department has charged 28 mexican drug cartels members targeting the son of notorious former drug lord "el chapo" plus suppliers in china who are selling chemicals and weapons to suppliers. sara carter has covered the border extensively, and she joins us now. what because this tell you about where we're at with the border and also in our fight to save our children from fentanyl? >> well, i think it finally tells us that the government's taking this seriously. the problem is, rachel, is that the government hasn't done anything to shut down the border, and that is the biden administration.

the fentanyl' coming across the border because we have complete chaos there. it's wide open, we have border patrol agents unable to do their jobs because, frankly, their hands are eye thed behind their a backs -- the tied -- and we have dps, texas law enforcement which i'm very familiar with, trying to do, lift a heavy load. so, okay, you've indicted, you've brought charges existence these major drug trafficking cartels, but what does that really mean? i think a lot of people that i spoke with it's not just theater, but in order to the indict people you've got to get them into custody, right? rachel: yeah. >> and heir in mexico, they're in colombia, so we'll have to wait and see what happens and see how that unfolds. rachel: but also they're in china. i mean, that is where some of the components are coming from. our president has said nothing to china about this. he could, you know, lean in on them. i've had dea agents tell me, sara, that this is a plot by the chinese to weaken our youth and our children who are dying from this, to the weaken our country.

it's just outrageous. here's another thing that you've to been following so closely, you've been a real champion. so police have rescued 7 migrant underage girls from a sex trafficking ring, and they were in stash houses in texas. it's just unbelievable, the complicity of our government in the sex trade right now. >> that's absolutely correct. and this is happening all across the country now. those seven girls are the lucky ones. these stash houses, just so the audience understands that, they are in really nice communities. many times you won't even be aware that the stash house is in your neighborhood. these children and underage girls are kept confined in these stash houses and and then brought out one at a time. they're sold on our streets. think about all the children that are coming across the border, and i want you to think about this. 25,000 plus children in just mexico have been reported missing, and their parents are

looking for them. many times these children are abducted. they're abducted in mexico, they're abducted in the nicaragua with, in honduras, many times they're sold into the sex trade, into this market. these children are desperate for someone to speak for them. i'm grateful for the police who were able to conduct this rescue. but in an effort to stop the sex trafficking of children and arrest people, we really need to fight the border crisis right now and the chaos that is happening at the border. and you were right, rachel, when you talk about china, when you talk about the drug cartels, when you talk about human traffickers, it's our government that needs to draw the line. they really need to hammer down on and be serious. they can't -- it can't just be theater. rachel: sara, our government loses track of 40% of the children who come across our board. it's an absolute crime. it's just the highest level of corruption that we are complicit

in this, so i'm going to move to another topic because you and i both love kids so much, and you just wrote an amazing book for kids. you and i actually were at a story hour with sheriff mark lamb and kirk cameron in scottsdale, arizona, and you read from the book which you sent to me. my kids love it. it's called joining the amazing club are awesome sauce, and it's amazing. audiocassette to us about it, why you wrote it and what's the clear message for kids on this? >> the clear message in this book is that rules matter and that we have rules to not only protect our nation, but to protect those people that are coming through, to protect our children, to protect our families and our own national security. and this book is a way -- and i'm so excite for my great family. i love kirk cameron, sheriff mark lamb, they're such great american patriots, and book really is a way of talking to your children about a really

tough subject. and it's about a beautiful, fun clubhouse and how the people who built the clubhouse want to keep it nice and clean and safe for everyone and how there's rules to joining this clubhouse. and, you know, that's what our country's all about, rachel, it's about protecting our freedom and liberties and protecting those that are coming here hike the children we just talked about. rachel: yeah. when the people who aren't following the rules sort of ruin the club and then they have to fix it to get it back, it's such a great story, sara. you kid a great job. we're so glad you joined us morning. >> thank you so much. brave books.com. rachel: absolutely of. brave books, they're doing a great job. sara, thanks for putting that spotlight on child sex trafficking and our government's role in it. it's really important. you're the best. >> thank you. you too, rachel, thank you. rachel: all right. love her. still ahead, dumping the dollar? the well, brazil's president calls on bric nations to come up with an alternative. that's next.

pete: brazil's president just visited china marking the late global effort to support the the communist country's crusade against u.s. come nance. and now lula wants brics nations to come up with an alternative to replace u.s. dollar in foreign trade. when we say brics, we're saying brazil, russia, india, china and

south africa. that mix an acronym of brics. here to react is economist peter st. ah? a. no peter, i heard jesse ask question, please explain it to me like i'm an 11-year-old. [laughter] what are the implications and what it could do to the u.s. financial dominance and the dollar? >> so the risk with brics is that they come up with a currency that competes with the u.s. dollar. now, the u.s. collar's currently under attack for a variety of reasons. if this keeps up, we could lose the dollar dominance that we've had for 80 years now. if that happens, we'd be looking at inflation, hits to banks, i erosion in our national power and influence like we've never seen before here. and, you know, there are a couple things driving this. some of it is the what the biden administration's doing here at home, is some of it is what they've been doing overseas. so the inflation, the bank runs,

that's all making people question whether the dollar is that rock of stability that it's been for so long. and then meanwhile, the sanctions on russia have been just really done in a hamhanded way where, you know, we went after the u.s. dollar's owned by the russian central bank, that scared a lot of countries because it started them thinking, what if they're next. what if they have some policy, even a domestic policy like, you know, an environmental policy, what if they have some policy the u.s. doesn't hike are, are we going to do that to them? are we going to the spark bank runs in their country? pete: and, peter, i know brics wants to expand, include other countries which would expand their influence. what's the impact on our debt? we're $31 trillion in debt, and as we're able to finance that debt because other people buy treasuries. what happens if that stops, and could it because of this? >> that's the biggest concern.

we've got a bunch of countries coming in, countries like saudi arabia, that have long been dependent on the dollar. those countries flip over to this china-led group now, that means that foreigners are not going to need as many dollars as they do today, right? a big reason why they buy our debt in the first place is because international trade, you know, what rich people save in mexico is not pesos, right? they're saving u.s. dollars. the world, to a large degree, runs on u.s. dollars. that is the reason why they are buying up big chunks of our national debt. if they no longer immediate those -- need those dollars, not only does that that the make the dollar go down many value, that's going to make it much harder for the government to raise money. pete: goodness. and they know that, they know it's one of our achilles heels, and they don't want to have to fire bullets. financially is a big part of it. peter, thank you so much for
