badly. >> governor jim justice is running for a senate seat with west virginia. >> i ask you to run right with me. >> democratic senator joe manchin is up for re-election. >> to the finish line together. >> lost four don't want to lose another. >> the 2023 nfl draft now officially open with the first pick the carolina panthers select bryce young, quarterback, alabama. >> it is a blessing to be here. >> all right. we begin with a fox news alert. it's not good news. three u.s. army pilots are dead. a fourth fighting for his life after a helicopter crash in central alaska. >> steve: officials say the helicopters collide on their way back home to the base. >> alexandria hoff joins us live with the breaking developments. good morning. >> good morning to you. the soldiers' names have not been released. we are expecting that some time today. according to the army the soldiers were returning from a training mission when two h 64

apache helicopters collided in flight. two soldiers died at the scene. the third on the way to fairbanks hospital where a fourth is being treated right now. the crash happened near healey, alaska, a little more than 100 miles from their return destination of fort wayne wright. the commanding general of the 11th airborne division artic angels stated this. this is incredible loss for these soldier's families, fellow soldiers and for the division. the fort wayne wright community is one of the tightest communities i have seen in my 32 years of supervisors. i have no doubt they will pull together compensational time of need and provide comfort to the families of our fallen. we saw nine soldiers out of fort worth, kentucky they were killed when go blackhawks crashed during nighttime training exercise. the cause of yesterday's investigation is currently under investigation, guys. >> steve: alexandria a thank you very much. as the sun comes up, they will try to figure out more what went haywire. >> brian: no day to take for granted in the military.

they train as hard as they fight and this is what happens. >> steve: and they were heading home. terrible story. rachel, great to have you today. >> rachel: thank you. great to be in for ainsley today. >> steve: we know who you are interested in who is going to lead the united states of america coming up in the next election cycle. and, if you take a look at the latest approval rating for the president, it's got to be setting off alarm bells at the white house. right now according to gallup, joe biden's approval rating is at 37%. last year, in july he was 38% and stuck in the low 40's is you since the withdrawal from afghanistan. as bad as that number is. i looked it up this morning with joe biden at 37%. do you know who was lower than him? ronald reagan. 1938 kicked off had a 35% job approval rating but then again the economy stunk. unemployment was about 10%. but ronald reagan ran for

re-election when his -- and recovery completely by the time election rolled around, he was in the 60's. i'm sure the white house is going we have got to do something about the economy but it's possible to pull out of this nose dive. >> maybe, if you took ronald reagan policies and implemented that but that's not going to happen. so, yeah, it's -- they are very depressing numbers for joe biden. >> steve: not good. >> our poll had him at 44%. we tend to, i think, skew higher for him. 37% is over all. it's got to set off alarm bells to a degree. that's why they seem to be pushing kamala harris forward. they got a big image makeover going for her if you see eugene robinson in the "the washington post" talking about what great week she h treading lightly and intrigued by foreign policy. when talk about things that matter most for you. ferris and foremost the economy and second inflation. how is president biden doing on ththose two things.

third is gun control. get up every day assault weapons ban. can we focus on who is actually shooting people as opposed to what they are using and the political divisions? is that true fourth thing that's most concerning. please tell me how joe biden has done anything except for increase the divisions in our country? i think that's part of it. and then when you see this poll, you see amongst the democrats, they are not all in for the president. >> rachel: yeah, here's the poll right here. joe biden 62%, robert kennedy jr. 19%. and marianne williamson 9%. robert kennedy jr. is a fascinating figure. and he has entered this race, i think, you know, everything that happened during covid and so much of the corruption and the collusion between big pharma and big government was exposed and gave an opening to him because he has been vindicated on a lot of levels. here is a clip of him on a radio

show. there was also an abc interview but this is him talking about why he decided to enter this race. >> i'm not running a mean-spirited campaign against joe biden. i have been friends with joe biden for 40 years. i'm grateful for his supervisors to our country. his family's service to our country. but i just disagree fundamentallyfundamentally withe the country is going. >> rachel: another one on abc network. the tv and they censored part of what he had to say about vaccines and they pushed back on him about that. >> steve: they said it was disinformation. >> rachel: they said it was disinformation. and, in addition, they also criticized him. they said well, you know, your family isn't all in on you. he said, wait a minute, some of them were at my announcement. but i have 10 brothers and sisters. try getting all of your siblings to agree with you on everything. and i think he answered that very well. i think he is going to be a

fascinating addition. >> steve: he will be a ticket-splitter. if we can put that poll back up just a second. joe biden 62%. kennedy and william son and the others take up 28%. so when you think about that. about 3 in 10 democrats want somebody else. and that is why it's so extraordinary that the democratic honchos have decided you know what? there is not going to be a primary. joe biden is the incumbent. we are going to protect him. that does not set well with a lot of people because to your point, rachel, r.f.k. jr. has different points of view that kind of vetting process on the stage is what americans expect. that's why charlamagne tha god said it's crazy they are not going to do it. watch. >> aren't you embarrassed to be a democrat. >> i'm not a democrat. >> yeah, boy. >> i'm not a republican, either. >> yeah, boy. i'm nothing. >> what about you, chris?

do you like biden? are you voting for biden again? >> i think we could use a fresh new person on the seat. >> that's why it's whack that the dnc won't let nobody -- they won't do no primaries do a [bleep] primary debate. put joe biden up on that stage with bobby kennedy who is challenging him and marianne williamson and whoever steps up to the plate and let's have a [bleep] discussion, yo. >> brian: r.f.k. has name recognition people know a little about him. he is obviously going to struggle with his voice. not his fault. you watched his voice fade when he was announcing. if there is some other candidates, the kennedys have a mainstream name but not a mainstream background. what about the governor of kentucky? if i'm the governor ofism know and i had any ambition, believed that i could run, why am i waiting? barack obama didn't wait. barack obama didn't wait his turn. he said i have been a senator for a couple years. hillary clinton thinks she is going to get it. i think i'm better e closes a 30 point gap. the establishment was split. i don't know why the deferential

treatment. even the tone of the questions with r.f.k. disinformation, your family was with you. when is the last time you heard a family question to joe biden. >> rachel: a lot more family trouble there. the reason why somebody isn't going to jump in and here's what i think. i think that when joe biden decided to, you know, to run, he had the support of the establishment behind him. you talked about barack obama and hillary clinton. they shifted to barack obama. the powers that be. and so. >> brian: they earned it. do you think if somebody else emerged. >> i think people in control are controlling him. >> steve: i think you are exactly right. >> rachel: they like this. the thing that happened yesterday with the kids, it was go to work day. and the children were asking him questions. he couldn't remember that he was in ireland. >> steve: last week. >> rachel: and then he continued to arcade thing one of the kids are you going to keep us masked? their poor children had their

smiles masked. it will are you going to keep us masked? we're still fighting covid. not one child that was healthy that died of covid. they are continuing these lies. that's the opening wants. >> steve: go back to what is familiar. the party bosses, the fix is in. they want to protect joe biden. but historically as well, you know, the incumbent generally doesn't go through a vetting process with a primary. however, on the republican side, so you have got a unique situation. >> brian: i think if jared polis emerged and said i'm going to run. if r.f.k. jr. could get 19%. so-called moderate colorado governor can emerge and just start campaigning, the party bosses can't control every democrat in the country. >> steve: i think they are all in on it together. >> rachel: i don't know. >> steve: the fix is in. i think gavin newsom would run away with it because he is a charismatic -- you might not

like his politics but he is charismatic. what i started to say before brian had that observation, that is it's a unique situation because generally the incumbent does not have a primary. meanwhile, on the republican side, you have a former president who does not want to be on the debate stage with everybody else. and he made that very clear. donald trump was in manchester, new hampshire last night. and he's making the case i'm so far ahead i don't need to be on the stage with these 1 percenters. >> seriously, you look at the boards and see this thing 1%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and you look at these numbers and i'm -- we're at 60% and 70%. why would you do that? you want intelligent people, don't you, to be running your country. but i do look forward to the debate with joe. >> brian: the former president has been really strong. 2,000 people in new hampshire.

he is letting joe biden take the stage now because the more joe biden speaks and is seen, i think the less confident people are. and i think he understands, people seem to be rallying around him ever since that case. i also think that he has got the best team. out of all three teams that he has had, this is his strongest. ron desantis though yesterday did meet with one of donald trump's biggest supporters and that is memorial adelson. they did talk about the report -- ron desantis does have support run out with the exploratory committee in two or three weeks and see ads coming out. >> steve: he already has ads coming out. >> brian: ads come out why he is better than trump. the key for anybody, if you beat donald trump and his people don't support you, you can't win the general. so, somehow you have to win maga world and then bring them with you. i'm not sure that's possible. right now the favorite to do it

would be ron desantis. >> rachel: i'm all for debates. i think we need more debates. lots of people. >> brian: you think he should participate? >> rachel: of course. on the democrat side joe biden should debate robert kennedy jr. and marianne williamson. the problem we had over covid was there was no debates. >> brian: no campaigning. >> rachel: and no campaigning. get them all out there and see who rises to the top. >> steve: right there. was one other gigantic headline out of trump's speech last night, and this was he is apparently retiring the moniker crooked hillary. >> rachel: yes. >> steve: crooked hillary he is not going to use that anymore. come up with something else. maybe beautiful hillary or something like that. instead, he is borrowing crooked and is he now going to affix it to joe biden. so, from now on, according to the former president. it's going to be crooked joe biden. >> brian: he could do better than that, come on, please. >> steve: it's a rerun.

>> rachel: it is. well the 2023 nfl draft kicked off with 21 players selected in the first round. >> brian: what an event this turned into and quite a few surprising moments. >> steve: todd piro didn't go to kansas city. i would have gone if somebody asked me. but he has got to wrap up what happened last night. it's going to continue. >> it was a wild night the evening began with the carolina panthers on the clock. >> carolina panthers select bryce young quarterback, alabama. [cheers] >> todd: no shock there consensus number one and he is a good one but there were a lot of quarterbacks selected last night. three of the top four. houston texans with rare back-to-back picks after they traded up late. they snag ohio state q.b. c.j. strowd and will anderson jr. anthony richardson headed to the indianapolis colt as the number four pick. that was a shock because not selected was kentucky q.b. will

we have some growth. we're at 1% now. but where were we? >> well, this is when you add trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars into the economy it's fun. think of this as a party, right? you go to the party, this is 10:00 p.m. 12:00, 1 p.m., 2:00 p.m. maybe too many tequilas, right? we had a recession that wasn't officially called a recession. by the way like 9 people nobody ever heard of whose time stamped officially. we have a little bit of a bounce. look at the trajectory, we are expecting i think almost everyone anticipates recession. the big question is how deep will it be? >> brian: before we change screens we were here coming out of the pandemic and no one was working. so what we did was printed a lot of money, correct? >> right. >> brian: we gave a lot of that money out. a lot of it was abused. a lot went to other nations. that's another story. but when you were here, you were telling us this is going to be a problem here. that's why we have the growth that we have right there. >> that's why we got the inflation spike.

so, it was absolutely amazing. by the way, when that happened, we have got 24 months in a row where real income, real wages are negative 24 nornts a row. >> brian: here 3.7%. that was the estimate. higher than we are used to because we got spoiled last 25 years inflation has not been a factor since george h.w. bush was in office. now 4.2%. how do people feel about that. >> everything you pay for. in the middle of earning season right now. astonishing to me how prices are going up everywhere, particularly food. these restaurants, chipotle, mcdonald's, all of them prices are through the roof. right now they can get away with it. people still have a little bit of cash out from the stimmies, maxing out credit cards have. a job but the job is not paying a lot. this is a path we don't want to be on. what we are barreling toward is what they call stagflation maybe worse. >> brian: every time the fed feels as though the economy is too hot they want to raise rates to tell us to go home and stop

spending. take a look at the interest rates and, charles, you want wanted this chart because you wanted us to see what happened here and predict what is happening there. >> this is where the fed raised rates like they are doing right now. we went to the global financial crisis. everybody remembers that it was ugly. >> it was deference stating. then, all all of a sudden we wet too far. start putting money back into the economy. hurry up. they tried to put it in. >> brian: is that quantitative easing. >> charles: that's quantitative easing. you know your terms. >> brian: printed the money and flooded it with the money worth less but didn't see the inflation yet. >> charles: all that cash came in from the fiscal side joe biden pumped trillions. in chicken in every pot a thousand dollars at home. spike inflation trying to beat it down. see where the chart peeked and came down we may see the same thing later this year. >> brian: here is what the layman is kind of freaked out about. commercial rae. after the pandemic a lot of

people didn't come back. a lot of companies said you don't have. to say a lot of buildings are open. mid level banks were the ones that lent to a lot of these companies to build the buildings, if they are item at this the landlords can't make the payments. >> have you seen cell phone use some down as much as 99%. no one is going downtown. >> brian: you say this is what happened. brian, give me some time to read. this. >> i have got to do this because the ceo, all these companies are reporting the earnings. so the capital one last night spoke and certainly saying the trend in delinquences that they are seeing. he financial crisis. we are material labor market above 5% this year. provisions money they're setting aside for losses was about 100 million last year 2.8 billion now. >> brian: that's a lot. >> everyone is bracing. >> brian: how companies react if they think hard times are coming

they get lean. layoffs. they don't want to have too much cash exposed and that effects everybody. >> charles: big story on wall street and america massive layoffs. only going to get a lot worse. not just ceos. you should see our savings rate in this country. people are saying something is not right and hunkering down. >> brian: do you know what is right? 2:00, fox business you for now. >> charles: let's do it. >> brian: same outfit? i love it! are you kidding? >> charles: same outfit. >> brian: thanks so much. you are ready to play already. meanwhile a daring rescue of a 1-year-old boy saving his friends after a school bus driver passes out behind the wheel. look at that plus an upside to the rapid advancement of ai. how doctors are using it to treat something one in 10 people experience every day. ♪ ♪

book out ethical machines, what do you think about having a machine essentially diagnose and then prescribe things for depression? >> so, one of the -- it's should be said that these things can do some pretty impressive things. the knowledge that these things have is the set of medical knowledge that we have. it's a therapist, endocrinologist. therapy. >> steve: it's everything. >> makes it phenomenally difficult to test. this thing can be used in a variety of context. think about the diversity of all the people that conservative age, gender, sex, political affiliation, socioeconomic background. other kinds of health factors, so there are so many different contexts in which they can get used and that makes it very difficult to test whether it's sufficiently safe. >> steve: sure. i think the average person would prefer to have a human figure out what's going haywire with them. we know now that these machines are actually in some cases more accurate than the human eye. >> yes.

it has its merits. in terms of early diagnosis and so forth. the treatment component when they are talking about the treatment component, they are talking about psycho pharmacological medication where they can identify on the data particular medication that will help the patient. the problem i have is that i believe we are completely and overmedicated society and i can see this becoming the beneficiary being the pharmaceutical companies, right? and research shows that, you know, holistic treatments for depression and anxiety are in many cases more effective than psycho pharmaceutical treatment. things like exercising. maintaining a healthy diet. maintaining a healthy weight. getting a good night's sleep and doing talk therapy when an actual therapist. >> steve: reid, the whole idea though that a machine would give you a diagnosis and come up with a treatment plan, you would like to think that a human your regular doctor, i this i we all think of dr. well buy or something like that would be

looking, oh, let me look back at your study and back in '78 something happened. and they would have the sweep of your entire life. >> yeah. >> but that's what ai has. they have all your records and they are not going to forget something. >> yeah. they can't. look, there is two kind of use cases to think about. one you just have the bot as the therapist. >> steve: how would that work? >> just like you would talk to -- at some point get to the point where just hear audio and you have a conversation with the large language model, the chat bot combined with an ai generated face. it's going to feel like it's a human. the other things that it doesn't only have to be that it could be cases in which say thomas uses it as a kind of consultant. so maybe before he goes into his next consultation, he says hey, listen, i'm thinking about this, what do you think about that? and there are other kinds of cases. i have seen cases not in the context of psycho psychology,

kind of consultant for the doctor is a-to-say i'm thinking about this kind of diagnosis. give me few reasons for thinking it's not the right one. >> steve: overs last couple of months and started with elon musk. this ai is developing so fast we need to take a sings month time-out to figure out where it should go. take a pause to figure out how to work it. and so, i think a lot of people think ai is dangerous. it's not necessarily dangerous. if it can do good for people. >> yeah. i mean, if it replaces people, then we have a problem. you can't replace people. you can't replace humans. even a chatbot therapist. people don't realize in therapy the most important component of the success of the therapy is the actual human-to-human relationship. >> steve: so humanity. >> correct. >> steve: you can't teach a machine feelings. >> you can't. >> there is two issues. some people just don't have access to a therapist. don't have the resources for it. so it could be a good maybe i think more testing has to be done.

could be a solution for those who lack the financial resources to pay a therapist on a weekly basis. the other thing is that people form relationships. i think this is still toward of tbt. some form relationships with chatbot. there was one chatbot company that actually cut off their chatbot companions. people were really upset because they had emotional attachment. when you combine it with the faces that look like they are speaking, it's going to be that. >> steve: it's too real. >> the face people want to see. not some arbitrary face. a face that speaks to the preferences of the particular person they are speaking. to say people learn to trust them and they are going to form relationship for with these things for better or worse. >> steve: interesting stuff. we will see what happens. reid, tom, thank you very much. >> my pleasure. >> steve: coming up "fox & friends weekend" co-host will cain and pete hegseth are going to join us. president biden announced his re-election bid this last week. does the country want four more

>> rachel: a new fox news poll getting a taste of voters' views heading into 2024. trump maintains advantage in the 2024 g.o.p. race with 53% while support for desantis falls for the second month in a row. meanwhile, biden, after finally announcing his candidacy, is leading his challengers with 62%. our next guest has her pulse on the people as a radio host and a mom andy frye. i love talking to moms and radio hosts it's true you do get an idea of how a lot of different people are feeling, so why don't you tell me, what is the general mood of your listeners? >> you know, rachel, thanks for having me. i appreciate it. the general mood is not satisfied. i think it's about 70% of the country according to auto fox news poll is dissatisfied with the direction that this country is headed. and they know that what we have had for the last couple of years isn't getting any better. that's the thing that i think is the biggest deal here.

we see that voters, taxpayers, parents, people are going to work and trying to make an honest living it's becoming more and more difficult and when the direction of the country isn't going right direction, i think you look at who is in office right now and that's kind of ground zero for where you might want to make a change. >> rachel: you know, anecdotally what i'm getting from people is scared. not just dissatisfied, but scared. tell me, also, what you think about, you know, we saw the polls for donald trump. do you see from your listeners that that support for donald trump is going to continue to grow? what are they looking for, your conservative listeners from a candidate on the g.o.p. side? >> i think that what they're looking for is somebody who is going to have a plan. someone who is going to actually assess the issues that are facing people in their homes, their checking accounts their kitchen table. ability to pay for diapers. baby formula. i have an almost 2-year-old at

the end of her 12 months of needing formula i had to deal with a shortage in a supply chain. there are things that are creeping up. like you said, there is some fear involved that it is getting bad in some areas. buff the idea that it could get much worse? that's very real. we know what it's like to have donald trump in office. he has the last thing he was dealing with as the president in his first term was of course the pandemic. the success of the donald trump economy is not so far behind that people can't make a stark contrast between the biden economy, the biden inflation and what donald trump brought us. i still look at his 53% number that says to me donald trump has the default experience support of the republican party. there is a candidate not in the race ron desantis,ed second leading candidate right now who has one fifth of the republican voters in the primary. so i think donald trump still has work to do to bring people together. but, obviously, both former presidents or the current president and the former

president, they are the de facto nominees right now but they still have a lot of work to do. >> rachel: yeah it, does feel like people want experience. they know what they expect donald trump they know what he did as you said. he did have the strongest economy in our lifetime and there's no question about that. really quick, there is a lot of debate about how abortion is effecting this presidential race. any thoughts on that from what you are hearing from your listeners? >> it's definitely a key issue to have a very conservative base here in st. louis and the bistate region. i'm st. louis illinois on one side of the river and missouri on the other. very blue state vs. a very strong red state. the thing i hear from listeners most and that i really subscribe to myself is abortion is not an issue that you need to wait for some elected official to get into office to save the day. there's a lot of work that can be done by voters by people who believe in life and supporting women along with these unborn babies and stepping up and being part of the solution. we will wait for government to catch up with the american

people as it usually has to do in the united states. but it is going to be a key issue for voters going forward. >> rachel: i think when the abortion pill more information comes out about what happens with the abortion pill, the safety record of it, and what people deal with in their own bathroom with it, i think, as that gets exposed, i think some of that polling might change. thank you very much. all right. let's check in. >> thanks, rachel. >> rachel: you got it, annie. let's check in with meteorologist adam klotz for our fox weather forecast. >> adam: good morning, rachel. a little bit on the cool side on fox square. come out here in the 6:00 a.m. hour. kind of early, early for me. come out 6:00 a.m. hour get you on tv. auburn guy from georgia. does in get you in trouble in georgia. >> a little bit. >> adam: you got some family watching back home? do you want to say hi to somebody. >> my wife terry lynn, my son steven, my daughter cassie, my son-in-law zac. >> adam: is this cold for you? >> no, not really.

what can you tell us about this? >> well, thank you for having me with you this morning. elissa slotkin is a former cia analyst. a former dod official and had top security clearances and she knows well the grave national security threat that the prc presents to the ccp and it's unconscionable that shield even begin to think about signing a binding and nonpunitive disclosure agreement with the state of michigan in order to bring a crp based and ccp type plant to the state of michigan. >> steve: we talked the last couple weeks over this ev plant because it does help china and it's in the heart of our automobile manufacturing state of michigan, although cars are now made across the country. buff what exactly -- how did she get into this deal? was it when she was was at the cia? no, it was when she was a member of congress. and so, as a member of congress, you would be obligated to say what you know. you can't keep a secret from

people. >> certainly and professor jonathan turley spoken eloquently about this. contrary to the sunshine laws. and the spirit of transparency that any elected official owes their tax paying voters and really a highly irregular engagement that she made a few months ago. >> rachel: joe, so, you're a michigander, you have your pulse on how other people in michigan feel about this. how do they feel about this plant being there and about having a representative who seems to be on the side ever the chinese? >> yeah. it squares with the rest of the concern across the rest of the country, rachel. and which squares with the advice that our national security agencies gave a year ago february, which said do not sign any such agreements because they are subnational incursion,

a national security threat, and a toe in the door for future espionage operations to happen as we have seen in the last couple of weeks with the six police stations that were found and 40 police agents of the crp and ccp arrested in new york. >> steve: slotkin is running for your state in michigan. see what happens. ambassador, thank you very much for starting your friday here with us at "fox & friends." >> great to start my friday with you. thank you, god bless. >> rachel: all right. >> steve: all right. it's 7:00 in new york city and the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ >> can you explain? >> it is entirely normal we do not get questions in advance. >> all time low. >> gallup poll 37% of americans approving. >> joe biden up up on that stage with bobby kennedy and marion williamson. >> we are 13 days away from the
