welch to "fox & friends." it is april 30th, year of our lord 2023. may is tomorrow. rachel: my goodness, i didn't even think about that -- pete: i didn't either til i just checked my phone and realized what day it was. rachel: wow. pete: good morning, will. will: will good morning. awesome pictures. barns -- rachel: sheds. will: -- dogs, babies, jet skis, pretty much covered the base withs. rachel: yeah. when i see kids in cam -- camouflage and flags, i just think of hegseth kids. [laughter] pete: the kids are building forest in the woods all over the place -- forts, but they're using all the bright-colored blankets from inside the house. you look outside, there's a purple and gold blanket over here, pink. rachel: you can tell the pink

ones are probably the girls. pete: correct. okay fine for now, but we'll replace it for -- will: i grew up not in a manor, but i grew up in the country as well. you know what's interesting, i had some woods next to my house, so if your kids don't do this, have bb gun wars. put on some goggles, i should say don't do that at home. and now they have better edge. pete: they have gel blasters. will: yeah, they have a lot of things where you don't have to the shoot bbs. pete: the gel blasters are biodegradable -- rachel: so when they blast, gel pops out? pete: they hurt a little bit, but hay don't even break. they just bounce. you don't have to find nerf darts. they're the enemy of every human being -- rachel: i have them all over my

house. pete: and then the dog or the cat finds them and collects the- will: that would be nice if the cat would collect them -- pete: we might talk about the all morning long. rachel: will, you know what in your biodegradable darts, i don't know if it's going to pass the climate activist test. pete: that's a really good point. because last night was the nerd prom, which is the white house or correspondents' dinner. and a lot of so-called journalists who are very proud of themselves gather pat each other on the back. they wear nice clothes, go to pansy parties and spend days -- fancy parties and spend i days and days, what party are you going to the, who are you wearing, how important are we? that gather gathering's happening in washington, d.c., but of course it came with some protests, some even larger than usual in years past including one called climate defines. and two of the the people that were there trying to block cars

were two tennessee lawmakers who were kicked out of the legislature there and made celebrities on the left and invited to the white house even though the whole thing was about christian kids who were. shot by a trans shooter somehow became about guns, then it became about the legislators, and now they're at the correspondents' dinner protesting. here's a tweet of what they said. our blockade is working, we just turned away a government suv from entering the correspondents' dinner in d.c. plus, biden's approval of the new oil and gas pipe which is killing the planet. will: i don't know if we can put those videos back up side by side of the tennessee lawmakers, but i want you to notice the details here. they are in full tuxedos x that's because, i believe, they were invited to the white house correspondents' dinner. pete: interesting. will: they were quests who decidedded because there's never

a performance or a stage the you should pass by that they should actually leave the performance inside to join the performance outside, the protesters. it just, to me, i don't know if you want to internalize a that, if you want to the digest that as or they are real fighters and they left their regalia or their gala to join the protest or see it as another example of everything's so fake. rachel: right. because, you know, kamala harris is inside of the correspondents' dinner when she went to nashville, she didn't, as you mentioned, meet with the victims' families, the christian families that are still suffering and still i trying to understand what happened because, of course, we still haven't seen that manifesto. but, you know, she did meet with those two fellows that you mentioned inside and outside protesting and being feted at the same time. pete: yeah. or maybe they're just op por if

tunists who said, well, we got the invite, now that we're famous, how much more press we can get if we walk outside and block a government suv. so that's what was happening outside. inside i didn't watch a minute of it. rachel: yeah. pete: but there were some jokes across the spectrum, but roy wood jr. who's a comedian add had some fun with joe biden. here's what he said. >> real quick, mr. president, i think you left some of your classified documents up here. [laughter] no, don't give 'em to him, i'll put them in a safe place. i'm well aware not everybody in this room knows who i am, half this room think i'm keenan thompson -- [laughter] other half think i'm louis armstrong. president biden thinks i'm the daddy on family matters. [laughter] we should be inspired by -- they

rioted when the retirement age went up two years to 64. hay rioted. -- they rioted, because they didn't want to work til 64. meanwhile, in america we have an 80-year-old man begging us for 4 more years of work. [laughter] [applause] begging. begging. [laughter] [applause] finish the job, that's not a campaign slow ganger that's a plea. slogan, that's a plea. let me finish it. i do wish you the best of luck on the campaign rail. [laughter] mr. president. you've got a lot of things that you're going to have to navigate, a lot of hurdles. we mow about the documents, we know about the laptops, there's been no scandal more damaging than the scandal of is joe biden awake? say what you want about our

president, but when you wake up from that nap, work gets cone. [laughter] rachel: wow, if you can call that work. but, i mean, notice how he just glossed over the last -- pete: at least they actually a acknowledged it. rachel: then it goes right back to the easy stuff. pete: yeah. i'm sure we didn't -- we'll check the tape and probably spare you, but i'm sure there were savage and nasty barbs thrown in the direction of every single republican. that's standard practice. but even the comedian at the white house correspondents' dinner, as you said, had to talk about the elephant in the room which is this guy, that guy? again? will: yeah. he did. and as we've heard increasingly, i believe it's 70% of democratic primary voters are like, uncle, enough. no more joe biden. i town it fascinating yesterday as we had a panel of voters,

three of whom were democrats, and two-thirds of them said, no. in fact, to the extent of i would vote forton the trump. yesterday we had that -- for donald trump. here's what hay had to say. >> i think western be entitled to the free comes we've always had. there's also national security that's top of mind for me, there's the economy, there are so many issues that we need answers on. and and and as a voter, i would like to hear from all of the potential candidates on where they stand on all of those issues. >> i just really believe that right now we need to focus on the economy and our borders. i mean, we're destroying our country by what's happening on the southern border, and we have to the really take a look at that and fix it. >> i would vote against joe biden based on what he's done with our children in education and also the censorship machine. i'm a soviet immigrant. i came here when i was 6, and i know what it's like to have your free speech stifled. seeing how people who were not

agreeing with the consensus like dr. jay bhattacharya, the authors of the the great barrington declaration were deplatformed and systematically censored by the biden administration. i will never forget that. the twitter files are ground breaking and everybody, every american should be aware of what happened to them. rachel: and good for her for saying tax i think there's a lot more americans than the democrats probably think, at least the democrat leadership thinks, that care about censorship, that understand it. something is changing in america. and if we don't start going back to the basics, free speech, our country's just not going to be the same. will: it's one of the biggest events of our entire lifetime. our children's education was delay askedded, economy shut down, and i guess sitting here with the two of you and over time, the 2020 midterms made me a add the pessimistic it that it

registered with the american voter. it seems that those issues are not in the past. of those issues have not been forgotten. at least for one voter. and if she is representative of others, it would be righteous in my mind to say it should still be motivating -- rachel: 20% are voting for jfk jr -- will: rfk -- rachel: that is what's happening. those people just like her say i am not going to the forget what happened over covid. and i think if nothing else, admire the courage of rfk jr. just as i think on the republican side what people love about donald trump is his courage. pete: yeah. even some of those who you pointed out, six of the seven at the end said they would vote for donald trump, two of hem were like this. we live in manhattan -- rachel: yeah, they have to walk out. [laughter] will: you're right, many a duel between biden and -- pete: the question positived.

will: -- that group was surprising. all right. now to a fox news alert. authorities are still searching for the mexican national accused of killing five including an 8-year-old in southeast texas friday night. rachel: the fbi warning the suspect is still a threat to that the community. pete: jeff paul is following the story. >> reporter: we've been tracking this manhunt through the night, now into the morning, and authorities continue to search for the man they say shot and killed his victims, quote, almost execution style. get a good look at this photo, that that's the person they believe is responsible for pulling the trigger, 38-year-old francisco oropoza. >> evidently, he he stepped out of his house, shot his rifle up into the air, the gentleman said, hey, we're trying to keep an infant to bed, and he says it's his property, he'll do whatever he pleases on his property.

the man went back in the house. next thing they know he's walking up the driveway with a rifle in hand. >> reporter: police found his cell phone abandoned and are expanding the search area saying he could be anywhere. he was last seen near the crime scene if cleveland, the, which is just north of houston. he was spotted heading into a heavily wooded area, and investigators are issuing a warning about the suspect and what he might be capable of. >> we're still out there trying to find this individual. we consider him armed and dangerous, and we're not going to the stop until we actually arrest him and bring him into custody. but he is out will the, and he's a threat to the community. i don't want anyone to think -- >> reporter: now, among the five dead two female victims, they were found in a bedroom, and investors think they used their own bodies to the protect and shield two young kids who did end up surviving. back to you. will: thank you for that, jeff. all right. we'll keep our eye on that story throughout the morning.

rachel: a troubling new report

from the cdc revealing an i alarming number of teens are struggling with mental health. one in five high school students witnessed violence in their communities in 2021. 30% of females and over 14% of males in high school contemplated suicide. and 37% of students experienced poor mental health during the pandemic. here to react is child and cent can family therapist dr. darby fox, clinical psychologist dr. kevin jill land and an associate professor at giroux college of osteopathic medicine jeff garder. thank you to all of you. why don't i start with you, dr. fox. what are you seeing in your practice? >> i'm seeing an escalation in adolescent cans with depression, what they describe as depression or anxiety, a very sort of flat feeling of discontent. rachel: is that social media related in some ways in because if you look at depression rates

and you look at social media ya, youth and when it started, they seem to track. >> yes. i think that those are two very important factors. as we come out of the pandemic or during the pandemic, there was a great deal of isolation and then a lot of down time. so you could spend more time on social media. you brought in a lot more platforms like tiktok became much more prevalent, and there's ono way to get away from it. rachel: right. >> sort of the 24/7 bombardment of i'm not good enough. i wish i were somewhere else. rachel: sure, sure. that fomo, that feeling of -- one of the things you talked about, feelings of not belonging. my concern as a parent is that this those social media platforms, to me, are in many ways false communities. we belong to families, we belong to the churches, we belong to, you know, our community many terms of that feeling. and so there's something

artificial that's obviously not filling these children. >> yeah. so if you think about it if we were outside, right? you'd see me and then you'd see my shadow. they're the same but they're radically different. so the me is in the world, and that shadow is social media. it can be something, but it's always a reflection of what we should be doing. and my colleague's right, we're seeing the same things, and we're not in the same office. rachel: right. >> it's not just our young cults, but parents as well -- adults, but parents as well. now, the good thing that we've seen is a lot of what these young adults need is just some counsel. they just need a handful of visits of, no, this is the normal, and here's some practical things that make you feel better better or improve your situation a little. rachel: yeah, that's

interesting. dr., we see, for example, church attendance, belief in god, all these things that used to gird us and give us a sense of meaning many life have all declined as well. >> yeah, i'm seeing a lot of the same things that my esteem colleagues are seeing. in huh my office here in new york i'm seeing the the issues around violence, gun violence and so on. so we know there's a raging debate about sensible gun laws which personally and professionally are i support. but the other thing we have to remember here is that this survey was taken in 2021. this was at the height of the pandemic. rachel: yeah. >> many of our young people were very disaffected. we saw suicide rates were increasing, and my big concern is this suicide risk increasing for young women but especially for young women of color and young men of color.

and a hot of that speaks to they're feeling that they are in many ways more marginalized by our society. as parents, as legislators, we all need to step up and be there and provide a healthy community for our young people. rachel: i don't want to push back on what you're saying, but it seems to me that, you know, there's a are lot of other groups that also feel marginalized. if you're a white kris chancer you know, male -- christian male, you're very marginalized many in terms of your social culture, your youth culture as well. i think that's something we need to talk about as well. dr. forbes what about the role of the -- dr. fox, what about the role of the family? where is the family in all of this? we just can't blame social media, we just can't blame gun laws or whatever. where is that sense of purpose that people get from their families? >> well, we have to go back to the family because when we can't control external factors such as

pandemics or violence in your neighborhood, we've got to come back to the morals of the family and the standards. and that's where i really think parents need to awe high structure the, high nurture are the key, the gold standard for parenting. so we need to really have families place that value on what are our morals, what are -- who are we, what's our identity and we stick together and then build from the family to mentors, coaches, priests, whoever in your family. and that -- we want to extend sit that we have more of a secure base. rachel: dr. jillly land, i talk a lot about dinners. there's actual proof that families and children who experience daily, if not, you know, a couple times a week family dinners have higher grades, lower drug use. i mean, the evidence is there, right? >> yeah. you know, isn't it funny, rachel, the good things are

still the good things. that is so encouraging as a parent. rachel: yes. >> right in because you go, okay, let's go back to the things we know are good for me as a parent and for my kids. and don't make it weird. [laughter] don't make it a lecture, don't make it a little sermon, just be normal about what you're going through. and i do want to caution -- i agree with you. everybody feels marginalized. i don't care what group you're in, everybody's being attacked. to be fair, some worse than others. and and, look, come on, social media is a little piece of in this. when you, when you air the people -- tear people and an entire group these adolescents and young adults out of what's most important for them which is their friends in the world, i shouldn't be my kids' best friend, but i had to be during covid. 9 and the tail on this thing, they're going to struggle for a couple of years. they are going to get better,

and the good news is go back to doing the little things. you may need a professional like one of us, but you just may need to have a few visits. that's good. rachel: dinner is easy. let's just get back to family dinners. it's not that hard. [laughter] final word, doctor. >> well, i agree that family is the most important thing. and is as parents, as caretakers, we need to be there for our kids, leading them through. we as adults also have is seen a big increase in anxiety and depression, and so that filters down to our kids. so it is really important that we all have a check-up from the neck up. take care of our children in school but also take care of ourselves as adults, because we need to be there, the foundation for our children. rachel: absolutely. it takes the family. all right. all three of you, thank you so much. such an important topic. god bless you all. >> thank you. rachel: you got it.

[bleep] i just i saw a car flip over in front of me. pete: pretty scary. 100 mile-per-hour winds causing a vehicle pile-up at this apartment complex. thousands are waking up to no power, downed trees and crushed cars. and more severe weather could be

today but also towards the mid-atlantic. could be looking at a ohed or two as well across parts of the mid-atlantic. will, over to you. will: okay, thank you. americans are becoming more favorable towards artificial intelligence over, in this case, real life doctors. the journal of american medicine asked 199 5 people to the compare responses between a chat bot -- 195 people -- and real life physicians, and nearly 80% of the people preferred the answer that they got from a.i. so should we be concerned as a.i. rapidly expands into medical staff shortages and burnout? a.i.'s making its way, and we're asking it to come along into the medical field. joining us now is the founder of understanding a.i., chris winfield if. >> thank you so much. will: people would rather talk to a. i. than a deal doctor. >> -- real doctor. >> yeah. they liked the bedside manner of

the a.i. doctor, in this case it was just chatgpt, better than the actual doctors themselves -- will: knowing that it was a chat bot, knowing that it's a.i.? do responsibilities know -- respondents know, hey, in this situation i'm dealing with a real life human, in this situation i'm dealing with a.i.? >> i think it was a blind study -- will: what does that say about doctors and bedside manner in. >> what everyone says, when's the last time you went to the hospital? [laughter] you know, they're overworked, you know? the main thing that i hear from doctors, people in the meddle -- medical community is about being overworked, and you feel that when you're, you know, with a lot of doctors, unfortunately. will: you know, chris, interesting personal experience, you know, several years back i had a child that was in the hospital. one of the things i had a hard time getting from a doctor is give me percentages, give me likelihood, give me what you think is going to the happen here. whether layoff liability are or -- liability or personality,

heir very reluctant, and i could see the appeal of art official intelligence which is just giving you the facts. >> yeah, exactly. and it never gets mad at you. [laughter] so you can -- i don't know how much you have used chatgpt, but you can say you're completely wrong, that was so stupid, and it'll be, okay, i'm sorry, let he give you a better answer. a lot of times you feel with a doctor relationship where it's kind of talking down ever now and then, and you don't get that with a chat bot. will: is so here's the thing, a.i., the idea would be that it's always just simply going to tell you the facts according to its broad scope of data. well, the has impacted hiring practices. employment attorneys are starting to sound the alarm that a.i. could, and we've talked about this, somehow embed bias. hook at this report. although many of these tools offer the promise of advancement, their use has also

the potential to perpetuate bias, discrimination and produce other harmful outcomes from an eeoc statement, chris. but here's the thing that i would can ask you, data isn't biased. people are biased. data is just the facts. >> yeah. so i think the concern is about the data sets themselves ask what are the inputs. so this is one of the things like elon musk brought up about open a.i., you know, is it being trained or what are the inputs that are going in, are they biased, are they, you know, are they going to be molding the data sets in the wrong way. so i think that's one of the biggest concerns and why it's going to the become a big deal here in the job market is that people, when you think of a.i., it's still very scary for a lot of people. very, very scary. and what's one of the biggest fears? around losing their jobs to robots, to a.i. so then when they hear that a.i. is maybe going to be the one hiring them, tear going to get really scared.

will that's a fair point. what i'm concerned about is the modern day age of everything is or measured through disparate if impact. do we back engineer and start manipulating data because it's had a disparate impact, oh, that's bias. no, it's just data. don't quote in there and start messing with the data -- >> exactly. >> i talk about this on the will cain podcast. chris, awesome conversation, important conversation. >> thank you very much. are very. will all right. pete, other to you. pete: oh, you got it, will. will: it says your name. pete: i'm always scanning and prepared. miranda devine joins us next, will, back to you. will: rachel's up there talking.

meager means, mr. biden is living a lavish life. pete: fox news contributor ask new york post columnist miranda devine joins us now. thanks for being here. so hunter is deaths out the, ase cases that none of that biden money should be going to the mother of his child? >> yeah. look, it's a pretty nasty situation really, and i think that the money's on his lawyers, hunter biden's lawyers -- [inaudible] in that arkansas court where he's supposed to turn up in person tomorrow because the last thing a that hunter biden and the white house want is for hunter biden to have to open hi- [inaudible] financial statements. and that's exactly what the mother of his 4-year-old child

wants. she just wants the paragraph that he's -- proof that the he's too broke to pay the child support that he programsed he would pay and -- promised he would pay. she had to do a dna test to move it was his child, so i think this is one of the few times in hunter biden's life where he's actually having to suffer the consequences of his actions. will: miranda, i'm curious, do you fined this -- we know that the laptop is credible and real, but hunter's tried to walk this fine line are of it's mine and i have an expectation of privacy, but it could have been tampered with. what i'm getting at is the judge has already asked about the laptop, because he wants to know if it proves hunter's financial ability to pay child support. does the properties peck exist ifs -- prospect exist that there has to be some culpability for what's on the laptop in. >> well, i think so because --s

has made it an issue in the case. and we've already had the embarrassment for hunter biden's lawyer where he had to sort of argue9 that the judge said, i mean, what is this laptop? is this laptop real? he says, oh, i don't know why other side keeps on talking about the laptop because, you know, hunter's never acknowledged -- he says, well or, i'm not authorized to say that. so -- [inaudible] very topnotch lawyer, a little embarrassed because -- acknowledged that the laptop was real and when we at "the new york post" put that on the front page -- had to write another letter to claw that back. so i think that hunter -- [audio difficulty] rachel: all right. well, it's the great miranda devine. we love having you on.

thanks for breaking that down. there's always more of this this at "the new york post." thank you, miranda. this is also treacherous for the biden family, for illinois and for joe -- for jill and for who also look like they're deadbeat grandparents. pete: not a good look. we begin with this, the u.s. has officially completed its first evacuation mission in sue can move -- sudan. armed drones escorted 2-300 americans more than 500 miles away to the port port of sudan nearly a week after special forces rescued 72 u.s. diplomats from the capital city. and police in south carolina say bay or the wrestling is not -- gator wrestling is not part of the -- but that's exactly what they were called to do last week many north charleston when a gator tried to cross the street in a
