despite a challenge from two candidates. >> ainsley: dismisses concerns about his age and low poll numbers. >> steve: peter doocy joins us live from the north lawn of the white house to summarize all of that stuff. hey, peter. >> peter: good morning. and the other declared candidates are accusing the democratic national committee of tipping the scales towards president biden too early. >> indicating for a while that they were probably going to be -- disappointed, certainly, because i believe in democracy. i believe that the political parties should stay out of the issue until the primary voters have weighed in. and then, whoever wins the primary, back tore the dnc or rnc for that matter should support. >> peter: robert f. kennedy adding i have known and like joe biden many years. we differ profoundly on many issues. i look forward to debating him in debats and town hall meetings in a meeting that is civil and transparent. i invite him into a new era of

respectful dialogue. white house was asked about the president biden's commitment to serving all 8 years and at first we were told that's up to him before officials checked and clarified he does plan to carry out a full second term if elected. officials are also explaining the thinking behind running at 80. >> when it comes to age, it's the same thing that we heard in 2020, right? we heard that over and over in 2020. and if you look at what the president has done this past two years, he has been able to deliver and get things done, right? where republicans are trying to -- republicans in congress, republicans on the other side of pennsylvania are trying to pull us back. and not move us forward. >> peter: it's been uncharacteristically quiet re-election rollout. they released this video, 3-minute long video about 25 hours ago and not a peep about it from the president since. back to you. >> peter: peter, at the white house, aren't they having a party tonight?

>> big party. there are already a couple dozen is,en journalists here and the u.s. side. everybody is getting set up on the south lawn for the south korean's president arrival. state dinner later on this evening. >> steve: are you invited? >> peter: no, i will be giving a bottle to a baby right at 7:00. >> steve: i think that's about right. >> ainsley: how is it going? are you loving being a daddy? >> peter: yeah. she is a good baby. she is watching right now, i had brigitte. >> ainsley: your daddy got her the snoo. >> steve: you got a snoo. >> ainsley: we heard all about it. he lost it. >> steve: let's bring in ronna mcdaniel who joins us from ooklahoma city. steve. >> hi, good to be with you. congratulations on being a granddad. >> steve: joe biden doesn't want to be on the debate stage with

two other candidates that would make him look really old. >> they don't want him anywhere. last availability they had on the daily show. he launched, didn't do a rally. they are going to hide him. hyden bidenen again in 2020. i hope the american people reject that and want to see this candidate, face the american people and answer tough questions. which he has never done. >> ainsley: well, the cover of the "new york post" this morning says president biden announces his re-election campaign. but americans say he's also lost. so karine jean-pierre was asked about the polls because most -- the majority of the democrats are saying we don't want him to run. we want another candidate. and half of them are saying it's because of his age. she is blaming republicans, which probably doesn't surprise you. that's the same thing we heard in 2020. republicans are just trying to pull us back and not move us forward. what's your reaction? >> i don't want joe biden and it has nothing to do with his age or the fact that he falls down the stairs or other things that

are gaffe worthy or memes. i don't want him because our southern border is wide open. fentanyl is poisoning our children. he is not taking a stand on china on any level. he has abandoned our energy independence. he has allowed crime to surge in our major cities. he has been a catastrophe for the american people, especially when we look at inflation which is a tax hike on every single american. so, joe biden has failed the american people. the last thing we want is for him to finish that job. just finishing that job is basically finishing america. >> brian: let's talk about what you guys did. you immediately responded to his rollout saying is he going to run again. he kind of said that let me finish the job. you guys rolled this out. and it's ai-generated. here's a portion. >> border agents were overrun by a surge of 80,000 illegals yesterday evening. >> officials closed the city of san francisco citing the escalation of crime and fentanyl crisis. >> brian: saying that will happen if he gets four more years. can you bring us the mindset

going into that ad? >> so, first of all, it is ai-generated so we are sharing that upfront ethical, so it's not a deep fake. every single image was ai. we are painting a picture of a future biden america. our border is overrun. crime is surging. he has not taken a stand on the national stage. he has kowtowed to china. his family is compromised by china. it's important that american people see in a graphic way in video what four more years of this president would mean and the destruction it would mean for our country. >> steve: ronna, going back to the debates, can i ask you something? so the democrats don't want the top democrats don't want a debate with joe on the stage. i saw yesterday that donald trump on truth social said i see that everybody is talking about the republican debates but nobody got my approval or the approval of the campaign-trump campaign before announcing them. when you are leading by seemingly insurmountable numbers

and networks it maga hating networks why subject to yourself to being libeled and abused. did you talk to him about the debates? is he in or is this just what he does? he did this in 2016, too. >> i talk to president trump all the time. we have talked to all the potential candidates. we have let them know the schedule. we announced the debates. first debated is with fox in milwaukee. every campaign and candidate has to make a decision do i want to participate? he will have to make that decision. i think he will do it. president trump never shies away from a debate. >> brian: yes, he does. ronna, he does. he skipped ours. he skipped ours in 2016. >> he did. he skipped one. but, you know, he was on the center of the debate stage of 2016 and never left it. we will see what happens. we are talking to the campaigns and the candidates. i talked to president trump and mike pence and nikki haley. we are talking to all of them all the time. we will see what happens.

it's going to be a roller coaster until august. >> ainsley: i know you launched the fact-checking website for joe biden. it's fact-check biden.com. we were all looking at it earlier. like he never drove a tractor-trailer and click on it and read more about it. his house did not burn down. it was just a small kitchen fire. he was never a professor at university of penn. he never reduced the deficit by 1.7 trillion. and can you click to find more information. and then just yesterday he falsely claimed that his grandfather died two weeks before he was born. if you fact-check it in the same hospital. if you fact-check it obituary says he died a year before joe biden was born not in the same hospital. might seem small. but when these add up. it's one story after another. fact-check ares are finding out they are false. >>ing yeah. so we launched this website fact check biden.com. so in real time we are going to fact check him. put his lies on full display. the media is not going to do

that so the rnc is going to do it. we have had some people on this website. going to help state parties help average americans look at this president and see how often he is lying embellishing and not telling the truth to the american people. and, like you said, we added some new fact-checks yesterday to the fact-check biden.com. i would also say if you want to get involved in beating joe biden. text win to 80810. we need everybody to volunteer right now and start investing in the process to beating joe biden in 2024. >> brian: quick exit question for you. when they say your party is extreme maga party, what's your answer to that? >> i say we're common sense and they are crazy. we are common sense and they are crazy. we want parents to have a right in their kids' school. we want parents to have a say in their kids' education. we want energy independence. we want to close the southern border. we don't want fentanyl poisoning our children. we want our kids protected from tiktok. all the things that the democrats are doing is crazy.

it's against just normal common sense. and i think most americans look at that right now and see the republican party speaks for them. >> steve: well, get out a hard hat because the democrats are going to -- particularly joe biden in the white house they are going to clobber you with maga, maga, maga right now until november 24th. brian. >> ainsley: extremists. the majority of americans are in the middle. >> biden is china first and we are america first. china is sending fentanyl to our kids. china is taking our kids' data on tiktok and biden sold our strategic oil reserves to china. we know he is compromised by china. he could stop this in a day. he could stop the flow of fentanyl across the southern border and is he not doing it. why? because is he not putting our kids first, our country first. and that's why we need to send him home. >> brian: not getting off tiktok himself. his whole staff is on it. ronna, thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. >> steve: all right. enjoy oklahoma.

bethany funke fighting the subpoena? who wants to travel from home, reno, all the way back to moscow, idaho, which is about 650 miles to testify for the guy you believe murdered all of your roommates except one? but aside from her personal feelings, the defense attorney for bryan kohberger has woefully laid out a very bad case to a local judge. this process is called ghesks dough mess at this occasion. another jurisdiction want you to come to their jurisdiction under a subpoena. you domestic indicate the subpoena. the reality is there is no precedent in the law, in nevada, to force a resident back to idaho to testify in a prelim and that's the kicker here preliminary hearing the defense puts nothing up so there is no need for her to come back. >> steve: meanwhile, another court case we wanted you to

crying, what happened to the children? and cult mom lori vallow is extremely calm and becomes defensive. it's all about her. you don't know what i've been through. and that the press has, quote: miscast her as a monster and, even further in the call she says i deserve happiness. i don't need to be a lonely widow. the reality is that the cases have been severed, cult mom lori vallow being tried separately from prophet husband chad daybell and has been facing a jury on multiple counts of murder and conspiracy to commit murder. >> steve: well, it was electrifying to hear that yesterday in the courtroom. these are two cases that nancy talks about each and every day. watch crime stories with nancy grace on fox nation.com. nancy, thank you very much. >> thank you for inviting me. goodbye. >> steve: indeed. coming up on this wednesday, fight for faith on the campaign

this issue, is abortion to the young voters? >> look, i think that this issue matters to most voters, whether they're on one side of the issue or the other. i think it mobilizes the base of both the republican and the democrat party. and it also impacts your belief on religious liberty as a whole. but i think the supreme court sending this back to the states that really neutralized this issue when it comes to federal policy and it's become more of a talking point for both parties to try to mobilize their base. >> ainsley: desser is ray, if you look at the polls, cbs news poll say only 10% of all abortions should be illegal. what do you think when you hear ron desantis saban abortion after six weeks. chris sununu ban abortions after 24 weeks with some exceptions? >> i think politicians should stay out of healthcare decisions for women and people who get pregnant. look, we're seeing destri mental

effects for republican candidates because they are not winning on this issue because it is a deep and personal issue for women who are experiencing difficult pregnancies very complicated and clear politicians should not be engaged in medical processes. we also know i'm a christian. the bible, you don't throw the first stone there are a lot of judgmental attitudes in people trying to play god in scenarios that really she shouldn't be in. >> ainsley: he see remarks do you agree? >> first of all, good morning, ainsley. and thank you for having me on. i think that this issue really comes down to messaging. with something as personal as abortion, i think that it's obviously going to be a mobilizing factor when getting out the vote. comes down to which party can grasp that messaging better great fort democrats allows them to shift focus away from

president biden and his failures and his inability to lead while it may mobilize the base. certainly does mobilize the base seeing it on college campuses. a lot of these voters are already committed to a certain party. it doesn't matter, necessarily, as much with that as what the impact will be with moderates in swing states. that's really what it's going to come down. to say if it's another trump-biden election. some turnout could be low. going to come down to who could use this messaging best in their messaging to get out the vote. >> ainsley: look at the dec poll comes to faith a third of 18 to 25-year-olds say they believe in a higher power. that's up from a fourth in 2021 more people turning to their faith. why the increase desiree. >> i would love to look at the sample size because every other poll shows the young people have turned away from faith and i also looked at that and it said that some of the young people

were spiritual. i think what we are seeing is the impact of politicians weaponizing the bible and attaching it to christianity or attaching it to some other religion and right now younger people are anti-institution because of this demonization of institutions that have come from the far right. and so i think we ought to be careful how we encourage people into the faith and lead them into the faith while not discouraging them. so i would love to see more young people coming back to church and really getting engaged in the word. but again, i would love to see the sample size to see who they talked to and what they deem religion. >> ainsley: lauren, what do you think? >> look, i think that when we talk about institutions, we are spot on. secular leftist institutions have failed young people. they put their hope in celebrity, in media, in cull

temperature, in government and politics and institutions of higher education all of those institutions, secular cultural marxist institutions have failed young people. no surprise to me that they are turning to god and turning to faith and saying maybe there is something more than just an institution or an ideology. maybe i need to put my faith in god. maybe i need something that's actually an internal hope. you know, the bible says i have come so that you may have life and have it to the fullest and that's something that the gospel of jesus christ offers. >> ainsley: he see remarks young people have been through a lot. do you think young people moved home with their parents, covid, they needed to turn to a higher power. >> i do not think it's weaponization. i'm a proud just. jew and presence ofa higher pow. this conversation comes up reminded of the timeless goat satchel. don't pray when it rains if you

weingarten will testify as the committee investigates whether she had a hand in changing schools reopening guidance and keeping schools closed. ohio congressman brad wenstrup joins us now. he will be leading the hearing. he is chairman of the subcommittee. what's your first question to randi weingarten? >> well, there's more than just one question, unfortunately. there's a lot of questions. but, you know, from our standpoint, i do want to point out that honesty is nonnegotiable in this. and teachers are an essential part of america. right? and that think think they should have been declared essential and back at work as soon as possible. you know, we are trying to prepare a product at the end of the day that will prepare us for the future and maybe we can predict or prevent a pandemic. you know, but you look at the teachers unionenned n. and amongst itself the question is are you a service organization that is dedicated to the youth of america so that our children are educated and america has a bright future or are you a political organization? it's not uncommon for it to be a little bit of both. and i get that and there's

probably a lot of people on the day as today on the other side of the aisle that have received political contributions from the teachers union. but the cdc should be completely apolitical. and, you know, we had testimony in our previous hearings that showed that children were not those are the actual scientific methods we should be using. instead we got guidelines from the teachers union without question, without changing one word. and we are going it be pointing that out teacher's union more focused on what they need to be closed as oppose anything in the conversation about what they needed to be open. they wanted a trigger for closure. and they were basing data on community spread and the community spread was much different than what was going on in the schools.

and that had been proven already. >> brian: absolutely. and you you are a doctor. 6 feet apart, 100 years ago. kept kids apart and out of school. and the ancillary damage of kids staying out and the amount of teachers fired because they didn't want to get the shot even if they had religious compensation. talk about a long interview dr. fauci did in the "new york times." where he does not admit to anything but does say this when it comes to mandates. there was the whole idea of people not getting vaccinated and then came mandating. i think almost paradoxically you had people on the fence about getting vaccinated why are they forcing me to do this sometimes beautiful independent streak in our country becomes counter productive. mandates are not going to fly in america. do we understand that? >> i said this all along. i said americans don't do well with because i told you so. americans want to be educated, not indoctrinated. they removed physicians from the entire process. you had a politician saying you

need to get this shot or you're fired from your job. and it affected our military, it affected every part of society in many, many ways. and it was completely wrong. look, i said at the beginning, even under the trump administration, america needed to be hearing from doctors that were treating covid patients. and as we have studied in our doctor's caucus working with the administration on operation warp speed, we knew the benefits of the vaccine and who was going to benefit the most and it wasn't necessarily needed by everyone. and we had to be realistic that even if you got the vaccine you could still get covid but you were protected so give it for emergency use tore the most vulnerable. have it out there. but starting to force it on other people it was completely wrong and dr. fauci said nothing during that -- during that time and he had the opportunity. so, now he is out and he is starting to say these things because i think the walls are closing in on what he had to say during his tenure. >> brian: listen, operation warp speed was brilliant. what people don't understand
