we begin our final hour with a fox news alert. violence escalating in sudan overnight the u.s. military air lifting its embassy staff and families from the country. >> and now british prime minister says u.k. i did blow ss have been evacuated. they completed the evacuation of the families from sudan you amid a significant escalation of vie license an threats from staff. rachel: imagine how scary that must be for them. p alexandria huff joins us live

from washington. really good news for the british diplomats an their families. >> reporter: absolutely. what we've been hearing is this was a very complex situation with not a whole lot of time to plan but that planning was very intensive, pentagon officials say. they describe the operation as fast and clean. say it was conducted in one movement with service members spending less than an hour on the ground. so under 100 u.s. government personnel were removed from sudan's capital city by way of three helicopters. again, officials say that this was about a week of planning as they saw chaos erupting in sudan. president biden thanked the unmatched skill of service members of getting the this this completed. they confirmed the operations at the u.s. embassy have been temporarily suspended. the president added that this has cost the lives of hundreds

of civilians and it must stop. sudan entered the second week of violence as the army and paramilitary group battle for control of the country. the two sides seized power together during a coup two years ago a and now they're fighting over which general will lead the country. civilians scrambling to move to safety. transportation of most every kind has been shut down. you can see pure chaos there. roadblocks in place, flights have been halted as the airport has been pummeled by shelling and the nation of 45 million people, well, they're running out of food and medicine. right now, more than two thirds of sudan's hospitals are out of service and according to the united nations, looters have stolen at least 10 world food program vox. so there's a hugh -- vehicles. there's a humanitarian crisis as well. a food market that served as a

camp for displaced people was burned yesterday. despite a decade worth of warnings for americans not to travel to sudan there, are an estimated 16,000 u.s. citizens who are still there, some who have been living for an extended period of time. u.s. officials say there's no current plan to evacuate them. the pentagon is exploring ways to secure land routes that will help them find a way out. >> thank you, alexandria. rachel: looks like the conditions have he deteriorated in just three hours that we've been on air. >> as pointed out earlier, this is a battle between the two generals who had previously been part of a coup but they were allies and they were trying to find a power sharing agreement. one sort of from the traditional wpower centers of sudan, one frm rural areas and that agreement broke down. now one w will defeat the other. we asked earlier who is the bad

guy. the question is how long and how violent. here's a portion of what was said earlierer. >> most important thing, we got our embassy team out. we see a situation where you've got another crisis that seems to have come up almost out of nowhere and it really shows right now the limits of what the u.s. you or even the u.n. can do. so we would like to see eventually they're going to need food and medical aid and all this but with the airports closed down due to the fighting between the two factions, there's not much the u.s. can do right now, nor tun, and that's not -- nor the u.n., and that's not a good look. >> the potential impact we need to measure and weigh is with -- i don't know how many citizens, in the thousands, u.s. citizens and other citizens from other countries who want to get out sue you dan, you're going to -- sudan, you're going to having happen most likely.

with that many vulnerabilities that the world cares about, the united states of america, the united nations, what compels action? at some point something happens that demands, i don't know, a u.n. response. rachel: that is the question. by the way, of also the millions of people that are suffering so much, you heard her talk about hospitals shut down, food trucks stolen. this is going to be a massive humanitarian crisis. on the other hand, much like the western hemisphere is a place where geo politics is being played between the new alliance between russia and china, that's also playing out in africa too. so these are much wider implications. she said this happened out of the blue. maybe we're getting our eye off the ball on lots of hot spots because we're also tied up in ukraine and a other places. >> china made a big play the the african consistent meant. they get -- continent. had they get 10% of their oil from sudan. the wagner group in russia is

involved there. it's not a good situation at all. rachel: we'll be following it closely. >> we're going to turn to a few add additional headlines starting with this. possible link between covid vaccines and tinitis is emerging as thousands of people report developing a life altering ringing in their ears after being vaccinated. the cdc says they don't know of a connection but people with the hearing disorder are demanding more investigations. see if we get it or an honest one, at least. this comes as the new york times reports that chinese skean. chinese censorshipis rewriting f covid-19. under government pressure chinese scientists have retracted studies or withheld or deleted day taxe data. rachel: they were in cahoots ccahootswith fauci to hide frome

beginning. >> bed, bath and beyond files for chapter 11 bankruptcy. will said he's never been. >> he made that up. i didn't say that. >> i think it was kilmeade. kri.rachel: that i believe. >> this comes after months long efforts to save the failing business. the warned in january they were preparing for bankruptcy after a disappointing holiday season. i was looking for a shower curtain. >> home depot, bed, bath and beyond, i don't know if there's enough time. rachel: you can make bezos rich and do it on amazon. >> that's what ends up happening. as the movie rust resumes production following the death had of the cinematographer, there is a new armor on the set. the original armor is facing

manslaughter charges in the death. alec baldwin was holding the gun when it discharged. charges against him have been dropped. and now onthe nba playoffs. dillon brooks ejected after hitting lebron james with what you might call a low blow. the lakers pick up the win and are up two games to one in the series. he lebron, though, after the incident looks like he's okay. >> did durant lost it in traffi. three on once, james with a reverse. >> he could have just dunked it normal. rachel: that's awesome. >> a little extra english on it. the miami heat dominating the mmilwaukee bucs. now leading the series two to one over the top seeded bucs. that's been a surprise.

who of do you like it to win it all. >> going into the pla playoffsi would have said the bucs. bucs have yenes, the best playing in the nba. how about legendary coach, phil jackson, in the running as one of the greatest coaches of all time in the nba. he's in a little bit of hot water among the sports media. he says the nba he no longer follows because it's too woke anand political. when he looked up and everything was about politics, it lost him. here's what he said on a pod of cast. he said i'm not enjoying the game. there's a generation that doesn't like the game. they did something that was kind of wanky. they did a bubble in orlando. all the games that could qualify stayed down there. the lakers won that year. they had slogans on the floor. it was trying to cater to an audience or bring a certain audience to the game. i didn't know that -- they

didn't know they were turning other people off. people want to see sports as nonpolitical. politics stays out of the game. it doesn't need to be there. i mentioned he's in hot water. we talked about this. sports media doesn't like what phil had to say because so many sports media are on the far left. and i mean that with personal experience. very far left. and they see their own belief as nonpolitical, just simply on the side of morality. and so when somebody like jackson -- i don't know that he's conservative. >> that would be news to me. >> i don't know his politics. he said sports should be free of politics and they say no, you should endorse our politics. >> no doubt. that's extra happened, -- a that's what happened during covid, started with the blm stuff. nba different than bud light. bud light getting into a far left cause because that's what corporations do these days based on the pressures they have. you can go from the blue can to a silver can very easily. more difficult to say i'm

quiting the the nba completely. it's not just like one team, i'll go to a different team. it's a different league. good for phil jackson to speak out. he may take some meet. he speaks for fans in that context. sports comments day tores and -- p commentators, they're not speaking like fans. rachel: this is interesting to me. i get like you can move from bud light to coors or some other beer. there's only one nba. they're awesome and everyone wants to watch it. and attempts to boycott never last, like with the nfl. but you can boycott the sports media. there'alternatives, i'm assumino far left sports journalists or you announcers. >> you don't have to call it a boycott. people tune out things they don't enjoy. when you infuse sports with politics, people don't enjoy it. not for nothing, i happen to -- there was the highest rated show on espn radio for some time,

that simply just talked sports. rachel: that's your radio show? >> thank you for that. >> it was the w will cain show. rachel: that's a interesting. >> without a doubt. i've sspoken about it publicly. you talk sports and sports fans reward you. >> it's back when sports center used to show highlights. rachel: is sports radio different than like the network sports? so is sports radio mostly -- >> it's everywhere. i'm saying the infusion of politics into sports is everywhere including by the play by play announcers. >> yeah. it's true. you faux where there's a good alternative, outkick, the way travis does. outkick, you can go talk sports and not be -- >> absolutely. rachel: i might start watching sports if will cain has a sports radio show. >> we'll see about that. rachel: all right. coming up, preaching faith on the campaign trail.

attention, declared and undeclared on the conservative or on either side by the way. >> it's a really exciting time and i think 2024 is going to be a star-studded lineup of candidates who not only are interested in continuing a legacy of previous service but are excited about getting new attention as presidential candidates. i have so enjoyed following the vex campaign as he's shaking things up in the political world and looking forward to see what might happen in my new home state of florida in the next few weeks. rachel: jamil? >> i think there are two candidates i'm looking at and that's vivek and trump. i don't think this should be just a general conversation about god. i think there should be actual policies that even tie it to the current problems in our country. one policy idea that i'm really looking forward someone to talk about is why don't we tie community service, graduation requirements to churches. make students do some community service in their churches. that helps socialize kids and

that can also bring down crime as well as bringing us closer to god. rachel: wow. that is a very fascinating idea that could actually revitalize our churches. i hope you're looking at some future political office, jamil. very interesting innovative thinking. let's go to jamri. who are the candidates getting your attention. >> easily team hailey with everything that they do. i just went rocking with her since what she's done in south carolina, t what she's done in u.n. and the future. i'm definitely camp hailey. the other one is de santis, how he's been able to get ahold of florida and change it for the better. you can call me part of deem de santis as well. rachel: covid was a big issue. young college students were the most affected.

really quick, trans ideology, is that an issue that's resonating with and gender ideology in general, is that resonating with young people, is that something they want the federal government or politicians to address? >> absolutely. this is the forefront conversation of our generation we're impossibly opening social media apps finding biological men speaking for women and other way around, children are worked into chemical castration before they go through puberty and now 20% of our generation is self identifying as lgbtq plus. it's an issue we're seeking leadership on, to not just protect the innocence of who comes after yous but to big gen z out of this question that we've been pushed into by the radical left, and more meaningful ideology going forward. rachel: it will have an impact on women, no question about it. i want to move to another topic. half the managers today are

complaining that it's difficult to work with people in your generation, gen z, calling you snow flakes, they say while more than a third revealed they fired somebody who is a gen zers because they're easily offended, what's happening, jamil? >> the problem in my opinion it's tiktok. we are the generation of social influencers and we have so many social influencers making well over seven figure salaries doing nothing. they have no skills, no college degree, no mastery, no nothing and they're getting paid this amount of money and most gen z, 68% are on tiktok, comparing our lives to them. you see dylan mulvaney, came out as a trans woman and made over a million dollars and over 10 million followers on tiktok. our reward system is much different. we're not trying to be employee of the month. we would rather follow social

trends. rachel: fascinating. jama ri, what are your thoughts on this, quickly. >> i think there's a disconnect within the gen z community. we have only gotten praise. if there's something for us to be criticized on we take it as on offense. students try canceling and firing college professors when the class is too hard and they don't get the grade they want. you see that in work life today. rachel: you are three of the most insightful young people i've talked to in a long time. i'd hire all of you. just an fyi on that. great having you. thanks for joining us. we'll have to have this panel back. you guys are great. up next- >> thank you. rachel: up next, hunter biden's gallery of scandals, he'll we'll find out if the wall is big enough. he pete and will will go off the wall to draw out the controversial time line, business deals and the key players involved. you've got to stick around for this. ♪

responsibility. one of which was ukraine. by the way, a lot of suspicious activity reports start popping up inside the government which led to investigations, validating what was found on the laptop. here's one of them, hunter biden sought an annual $2 million retainer, again, what does know about libya? nothing. to aid in the recovery of frozen libyan assets that were frozen by obama. his daddies vice president. he's trying to get them unfrozen. >> how about this one? china, this undermines american national security directly. he facilitated the sale of an american operated cobalt mine for batteries so that it could be sold to the chinese in 2016. so the bidens make money, we lose the ability to produce electric batteries ourselves. >> finally, also one you may have become familiar with. hunter biden begins working with cefc, a chinese energy company in 2017 and it is directly

expected to the chinese communist party, $1.3 million in payments and we're going to show you where some of that meant in a moment. >> this is just what we know about. but we're not -- this new york times reported on this briefly, business insider reported on this. is this is not just laptop. >> this is how the story began to unfold. let's take a quick review of the history. in april of 2019, john paul mcisaac receives the laptop in delaware. >> he's got to wait for him not to pick be it up. he didn't pick be it up. in september of 2019, he contacted the fbi. hey, i've got this laptop. >> and he told me on the will cain podcast i tried to talk to the fbi. i tried to get them to take it. they weren't interested. they show up in december of 2019 to get the laptop. >> he gives the laptop to other folks, saying if the fbi won't pay attention, maybe you should. the fbi has the laptop and has it for seven months and they

misinformation. >> quickly then the debate is held. >> that's the key. they knew they had to do it here so that three days later at the debate joe biden could say no, misinformation, nothing to see there. >> then joe biden wins the election. hunter biden, it's finally confirmed there's an investigation into his at that point all we hear about is his tax affairs but there's an investigation. now, let's talk about as i mentioned earlier who were the key players in this story. it's not just about hunter. >> no, it's not. first, the key is -- the most key player is the guy that looks like james biden and it's joe biden, the big guy is the key player in the investigation. but who are all the other actors many this is joe biden's brother, james buy done. hunter's uncle who is central to business dealings as well. >> i want to tell you, he, that we know of, has received approximately $360,000 in payments from chinese companies. >> hailey biden, widow of beau

biden, temporary girlfriend of hunter biden, also received family cash. this is rob walker who we know specifically received $869,000 in chinese cash. this is not rob walker because i don't know why we don't have a photo of him. >> same with eric shwarin, described as a close friend of hunter biden. there's ant antony blinken, he helped organize that letter of 51 big intel guys to say it's russian disinformation. >> cashed in nicely on that. he's got a plum spot as secretary of state, anthony anantonyblinken and you have ths whistleblower. they ignored tony bobulinski and other business associates would were willing to say joe was in on the conversation. we'll see through house republicans if these investigations lead to something beyond just tax crimes.

>> we're back with a fox news alert. violence escalating in sudan. the u.s. military air lifting 100 embassy staff and families from the country. joe biden calling for a cease fire. this tragic violence in sudan already cost the lives of hundreds of civilians, it must stop. the british prime minister announced diplomats left the country, tweeting u.k. armed forces completed a complex evidence aevacuation of diplomad families from sudan you amid violence and threats. let's turn to rick reichmuth for the fox weather forecast. >> good morning, pete. we've got a couple stories across the central part of the country. take a look at the weather map, let me show you what i'm talking

about. western parts of the high plains has a lot of drought going on, he's betterly western -- especially western oklahoma and kansas. take a look at what happens this week. we start to see moisture come in. it's going to help a little bit. it's not going to bust the drought but for any farmers or ranchers, any moisture is a bit of good news. the mississippi river watershed, we had drought earlier this year. that's been wiped out across the eastern side of this because we've had so much snow and a lot of rain. so much so, that we got significant flooding threat going on. where you see purple icons along the mississippi river, minneapolis, we have major flood stage and over the next few days the major flood stage will go further down the mississippi. will, over to you. will: thank you, rick. he faces a growing push to be impeached over the border crisis but now dhs secretary mayorkas is announcing a task force examining how to use a.i. to

keep the borders safe. >> we must address the many ways in which artificial intelligence will drastically alter the threat landscape and augment the arsenal of tools we possess to succeed in the face of these threats. our department will lead in the responsible use of a.i. to secure the homeland and to defend against the malicious use of this transformational technology. we will ensure that our use of a.i. is rigorously tested to avoid bias. >> so our next guest covered the border crisis firsthand, it's sunday morning future anchor, maria bartiromo. she joins us now. he said one of the primary focuses will be to focus on bias. maria: there is implicit bias in artificial intelligence. we know that because of the way that a.i. works is the programming goes into a.i. and the algorithms are created by humans. so if there is bias that is part

of the conversation, then it will be in artificial intelligence. look, the administration has to use everything. all tools available. and this latest push with a.i. makes sense. that's fine. but they need to admit and aca knowledge the border is not secure and they need to stop the massive amount of drugs coming into this country and stop the illegal smuggling. you know, the drug cartels are smarter than we are it feels like. now the drug cartels are using craigslist we're told. one of the bo -- one of the borr agents said they were apprehending a car full of smuggling last weekend and the driver of the cared admitted that he was recruited through craigslist. we talk a lot about the drug cartels using tiktok and other social media. they basically say $1,000 a head. we need a driver, we need somebody who can transport people from the border to you houston and we'll pay up. that's what they're dewing. they're luring american citizen toss be the driver. a.i. being used at the border

makes sense to me and of course there is going to be bias that they have to watch out for. we'll see what happens. we'll see what the administration is able to achieve here. but certainly more tools the better. we will talk about the border this morning. we've got a big show. we've got an exclusive interview with kevin mccarthy, the house speaker, because this upcoming week is going to be critical for debt negotiations. the speaker is trying to get a vote in the house for his debt plan and that is of course limiting future spending. and of course pulling in the run-away spending we've seen out of this administration to get our arms around not only inflation but also the fact that we're facing a debt ceiling deadline where we have to see the nation's debt ceiling get raised. the president wants a clean debt ceiling, doesn't want any strings attached. the speaker is trying to get that through the house. we're talking about china, we have a very good china panel with jonathan ward and gordon chang to talk about the threat that is communist china. does this administration get it? it didn't seem that way ba janet

yellen's speech this week. we have to ask the question, is he compromised given the fact that he's had such a soft approach on china. that is of course joe biden. james comer is here, he's got new information in terms of his investigation into the influence peddling that he is investigating and claudia tenney is here to talk about the ingenuity of america, she's on the science committee, take display of american inhe gentlemen new at this with elon musk -- ingenuity with elon musk's rocket ship takeoff last creek was incredible. china is there, trying to compete with america. we'll talk about that as well as her most recent report on iran. we have breaking news coming up in 15 minutes. >> we'll be there, 10:00 a.m., sunday morning futures, we'll watch. >> thanks, will. >> he won last year. can he do it again. we're getting ready to shake and bake in talladega with nascar driver ross chastain as the
