6:00 am
rachel: we begin this hour with a fox news alert. president biden meeting with the leaders of australia, india and japan on the sidelines of the g7 summit. and the president is expected to hold aukes with ukraine's president who just arrived today. will: this all happening as the debt ceiling talks stall here at home. pete: edward lawrence joins us live there japan with the latest. >> reporter: hey, will, rachel, pete, good evening if from japan. as you mentioned, the ukrainian president is here now in japan.
6:01 am
he is pushing for more powerful weapons in his fight against russia. now, here's video of the ukrainian president. he's already meeting with the italian prime minister. that's the video you're seeing here. he's been asking for about eight months for f-16 fighter jets. finally the u.s. changing its stance and starting to train ukrainian pilots. that training, though, could take more than a year. overshadowing this trip, the impasse over the debt ceiling. >> it is definitely a subject of interest -- [laughter] here at the g7. you know, countries want to have a sense of how these negotiations are going to the play out, and the president has expressed confidence that he believes that we can drive to the an outcome where we do avoid default. >> reporter: and for the paris time this trip -- first time this trip we heard from the president as he met with the australian prime minister. listen to this. >> reporter: mr. president, how concerned are you about the debt talks at home in. >> not at all.
6:02 am
shush up, okay? thank you. it goes in stages. i still believe we'll be able to avoid a default, and we'll get something decent done. >> reporter: now, the house speaker says that the president just will not acknowledge that he's spending too much money. >> the house speaker is saying the president still wants to increase spending next year. is the president out of touch on this? >> no, the president's not out of touch at all. i just laid out at the top what the president's budget looks like. it looks like decreasing the deficit by another trillion dollars over a decade. >> reporter: interest from other world leaders, has the lack of a deal cost the president's stature to the take a hit many. >> not at all. >> reporter: the on again, off again debt ceiling talks, it seems, back on again, but no serious movement as of yet. back to you guys. rachel: thank you, edward. so president zelenskyy going hat in hand trying to get more
6:03 am
money, but we haven't even had an accounting of where all the billions of dollars have gone -- pete: as you mentioned, we did get request the pentagon saying it made an accounting error and actually spent $3 billion more than it has, so they'll probably find a way to send more, and they've also announced they're going to the train f-16 fighters and give more fighter gents, but that means they plan on this going on for a long time. rachel: and jake sullivan saying, don't worry, we're going to make sure this doesn't lead to the world war iii. as you said, will, just the fact that that's even in the conversation gives me a lot to be worried about especially with these people in charge. will: on so many different issues, we're frogs boiling in, you know, slowly heated water -- rachel: absolutely. will: what are you talking about, world war iiisome we're going to try to avoid that. rachel: and trust us. pete: shush up about that. [laughter] it is what you say to the a
6:04 am
child. i'm going to the choose, at some point in this hour the shush you both up. will: that that did not happen, but it could have, this interaction tweens peter doocy and katrina jean-pierre about joe biden's down time. >> reporter: why doesn't president biden trust vice president harris to lead these negotiations? >> well, i disagree with your, the premise of your question. the president does, does -- >> reporter: she could be at the capitol. >> the president entrusts the vice president, as we all know, as we have stated many el times. she was in the meeting with the congressional members that occurred very recently, right before the president left. >> reporter: we're assuming the president will be updated momentarily by the team. what was he doing for the last several hours while they were many these meetings? >> well, they were having conversations, right in they were on the hill. the negotiators -- how would he -- >> reporter: i'm just curious -- >> how would he be updated if they're still having conversations on the hill?
6:05 am
it just ended moments ago. >> reporter: couldn't he call -- [inaudible] the first year of his term he conducted because the covid pandemic by video conference. is that not possible right now? >> we're going to give the space to these negotiators, the time and the space, to have these conversations. pete: kamala harris, of note, was a senator so would have known -- if you thought she had any clout, she could be front and center in these negotiations. rachel: sure. pete: they keep claiming she's involved in everything except she seems to be doing not a whole lot. maybe they don't truster -- trust her. rachel: she's still i trying to find the root causes of the border crisis, although the central americans say she's never been there to talk to them. oh, well. will: democracy 2024, the republican primary is starting to heat up as the newest entrant into the field is senator tim scott. he's filed the paperwork to run for president just days before there's an expected announcement from ron desantis that he will
6:06 am
run for president. there are also rumblings, anticipation, maybe some speculation about virginia governor ron desantis -- rachel: glenn youngkin. will: excuse me. rachel: it's been a long week. [laughter] pete: he's been a very busy man. will: glenn youngkin can. thank you both for that. to that, by the way, trump campaign she owe of make america great seven, he said the following: ron desantis failed shadow campaign has opened the flood gates for career politicians looking for an opportunity to raise their profile ahead of the 20 the 28 race. tim scott's entrance doesn't only kneecap desantis the, but scott sees the same thing as youngkin, sununu, christie and others, the path to second place is wide open. they smell ron desantis the' blood in the water and no longer see him as an obstacle. pete: it's a very interesting take, because a large field you would have presumedded at the beginning of this race would have meant a weakened donald
6:07 am
trump, and they're the arguing that it is a strong donald trump and a weak ron desantis that is inviting new folks into the race. when you look at the expectations for the florida governor in january when he was polling much closer to trump, they were high. today he's down 40 points in national polls and behind in all other states in the primaries significantly, including in iowa where he was there in a blue-collared shirt. yet they're going ahead with the announcement. others feel like he's pretty vulnerable. will: can i ask a question playing devil's advocate? i think the analysis is correct, they're all fighting over the same piece of i pie, desantis, youngkin, scott, they're fighting over the non-trump vote of the pie, and trump has the majority according to most polls. why to do they keep jumping in? is the assumption that at some point you have to beat trump. it's not enough to beat desantis,s you have to beat trump. so is it their anticipation that at some point in the primary process trump shows vulnerability? or he's suggesting it's to set themselves up for 20 the 28 with
6:08 am
a higher profile, right? so even in losing to trump, hay gain a higher profile. i'm just wondering if they think in some way does trump fall out of the race because of these investigations or whatever may be or polling. is it just to raise their profile for 20 the 28? -- 2028? rachel: i don't know, but i do think we think about who does this hurt, when does this help. i think more people entering in hurts desantis -- will: in the primary, i agree with you. rachel: it hurts desantis. and then it comes down to -- nothing seems to be taking down trump. i mean, there's one thing after another. even this trail that just happened. he just seems to keep getting stronger and stronger. pete: and the government's doing it for him going after him at mar-a-lago, going after him with the indictment here in new york city. i think it could be any of the above. you look look at a lot of the candidates in 2016 who ran who had bright political ambitions do -- will: and it didn't set them up. pete: that's been my view in watching desantis' non-rollout
6:09 am
rollout. it's like careful, politicians look at their moment. and i think they thought based on his huge reelect in florida, this is desantis' moment. his numbers have gone down. there's a risk that if you run now -- will: i agree with that. pete: -- you run into the trump buzz saw for all of them, but especially desantis. not only do you lose in '24, but you lose your moment many '28. same could happen to anybody when they run into the trump campaign. it depends on how you deal with trump, how you run for the america first agenda while running existence the guy who started the america first agenda. there's a lot of campaign consultants out there that have polling that they'll, you know, work on, they'll put it in front of the candidate and say, see, there's a lane for you. if this, this, this and the happens, you're the guy. and i just hi that's a big risk, because it could have -- look at someone like vivek ramaswamy. right now he's all upside. he's got name id and future cabinet position. he's not going to win the nomination, but he could elevate
6:10 am
himself to a vp level. so there's a lot of folks who do that. will: vivek was on -- rachel: ray chris christie said he's going to the throw his hat in the ring. no chance. however, he's a good example of the time picks you, you don't pick the time. i think that's what you're kind of saying. this is trump's time and maybe desantis' is maybe in '28. the momentum is there. pete: it's hard to stop. rachel: right. i think one thing that happened this week that's so interesting is that the durham report is impacting a lot of republicans who maybe had some questions about trump. but when they see just how unfair that they maybe voted for trump the first time and saw this administrative state that obama and hillary, there was basically an attempt of a coup to spy on him, to take him down. so a lot of people wondering is the way to get justice -- because we're not going to get it at the fbi. no one's going to be the held accountable. is the way to get justice to give him a second shot at doing
6:11 am
it without all of this and knowing all that he knows and knowing where where all the land mines are? could be that. will: just as a quick side note, i had vi vivek ramaswamy on the will cain podcast this week. vivek wants to raise the voting age to 25. what he really is saying is i think he has explained, and his position is i know this is unpopular, but i want to tell truths, and i want to run on big ideas. and he says i just want people invested, either invested in or understand america. so he said we're going to do one of three things, we are going to ask you to serve america as a first responder or in the military, we're going to ask you, if not do that, take aivic, understand america. or, third, to have lived here as an adult for seven years, 18-25 the, paying taxes, a part of this country. the point is just understand or have made a sacrifice to this country, and you will have a better understanding --
6:12 am
rachel: i love, i love this idea. and by the way, many statements have -- i know in wisconsin governor scott walker did this, to pass -- or to graduate, you have to take a civics test. that would count -- pete: although it's is so opposite of the left who wants to lower the voting age to 16, and they want to let your kid, you know -- rachel: did he tell you what the reaction is to it? will: well, he thinks it's been misunderstood because it hasn't been fully explain. oh, wants to raise it to 25. but i do give vivek this credit, he didn't pollest the it. he's not asking, hey, is this going the to be popular. he just has an idea -- rachel: that's how donald trump ran his campaign, a lot of gut instinct. and maybe vivek and donald trump might be a ticket, who knows? pete: you never know. rachel: nebraska police arresting six people at the state's capitol building after a bill was passed that restricts abortion after 12 weeks and bans depender surgeries for people under -- gender surgeries for people under 19.

[laughter] cool whip is trying to get tommy here, he's been such a great sport. stacy and tommy are partners on cool whip, and, stacy, you have such a crew anemic way of interacting with your animals. can you tell me about that? >> i really believe that they feel the way you audiocassette to them just like a dog. if you yelled at a dog all the time, they'd be fussy, and i think it's the same way with the big animals. >> reporter: i have to ask you, why is this gate tie off? >> cool whip likes to put his horn back here, he's kind of a food monger. you can tell by the size of him. loves to eat, so he tries to get out. we keep him tied up just for his safety and everybody else around here. >> reporter: speaking of eating, you found a lot of success in 2020 with cool whip. what do you feed him, how do you prepare the bull for that competition before he bucks? >> at this point in the game he gets a full meal today, tomorrow

we'll cut him a little bit back, as far as his water intake and food intake so he doesn't feel sluggish. you don't want him to feel sluggish when he's trying to buck. >> reporter: how many bulls do you raise or work with typically? >> we have about 50 on our ranch. we're partners with h.d. page on cool whip as we have several other big bulls with them, so it kind of varies between what we have with them and our own ranch. we have our ma a macaus and our babies on -- mama cows so it's a lot of fun. >> reporter: is cool whip friendly? >> he's very friendly. do you want to pet him? >> reporter: i would love to to pet him, yes. okay. guyses, i hopped on a bull before, and now we're petting one. you know, it's crazy because these animals are so big and they're so powerful, and the way that you speak to -- i'm going to get away, i'm going to step back here.

6:33 am
about the problems facing our nation. but alejandro mayorkas is the tip the of the spear. this is a guy who stood the up and lied to the american people about border patrol agents, claiming that they were whipping haitian migrants and saying it was systemic racism. he knew that was a lie. he lied to me under oath. he lied to me. he said they have operational control of the border, and then he just dismisses it in subsequent hearings. he has a duty to the enforce law, and he's blatantly disregarding that duty, and american citizens are dying. i met with three fentanyl moms just two weeks ago, three of the dozens, hundreds, actually, fentanyl moms that i've met with over the last two years who have lost their children and loved ones to fentanyl. fentanyl pouring across our border being promoted by china and dangerous cartels while this administration ignores it. enough. of course we should impeach him. i can't say what the senate's going to do. the senate and the president, they don't want to defend the country. but we're the house, we're led by republicans, and we should impeach mayorkas. pete: our banner below you i

6:35 am
allowed to do by the administration. hay want to, they're not allowed to. and thank god governors like governor desantis are sending support in the form of national guardsmen and hair own law enforcement to help texas deal with what the federal government should do. rachel: yeah, there's dozens of satellite offices along the border to just keep processing. that's one of the reasons that they can claim there's a decrease. they're just continuing the process and speeding that up. one of people who brought the attention on the border and said we could actually fix it and did it was donald trump the. donald trump. he said it with the wall. it was very unpopular when he did it, but you're supporting ron desantis the. talk to us about how you made that decision, because i know that you did like donald trump. >> yeah. i was a big fan of the america first agenda, president trump took on swamp, and the swamp bit back. and i think a lot ofst the been unfair. durham report, what we saw was absolutely mind-boggling. the fbi weaponized against the american people. but i think we need to go forward in a correction with a

governor that the has shown that he can serve, or first of all, for eight years, but he's shown that he can win -- [audio difficulty] have votes. he won 32% of hispanic concern 62% of hispanic voters. show that you can take on the -- [audio difficulty] that recognizes that success is aand town bl. it's manager if you can do if you seek to do it. but you've got to build a coalition. governor desantis is a friend, a proven conservative and, look, i think he's showing day by day what you can do. this legislative session in florida has been extraordinary. go down the checklist are, universal school choice, a booming economy. they've got strong, you know, immigration and border security measures like e-verify and making sure that they are enforcing the laws in florida. so i think this is the leadership we need and serve eight years to carly this country forward -- carry this country forward to beat back the swamp and ache it back from the establishment. pete: least got to get -- he's

matt gaetz, you talked about some of the things you were assigned to do as an fbi agent including taking down license plates outside of school board meetings. you hear this report about fisa warrants and spying on american citizens, people who were present january 6th. what are your thoughts about what the activities are going on at the fbi? >> i think the fbi has sort of evolved from what we expect it to be, which is federal law enforcement, and after 9/11 when the national security branch was grown exponentially, the fbi is now essentially involved into a domestic intelligence agency with a law enforcement capability. which is what i expressed in the hearing x. that's a problem, because the nature of law enforcement investigations are linear, they have a start and an end, and the nature of intelligence operations are circular, they just gain more intelligence to gain more intelligence, and they never end. will: what a great way to put that into con educate. garrett, we heard from your testimony, highly motional and compelling, i'm curious from your perspective, we talked about your testimony, your life, you know, that you were
6:43 am
essentially put on suspension right after being transferred across the country, left homeless right when you had a baby being born. what was the tipping point for you, garrett, when you decided though, hey, i need to talk about what's going on in the fbi? if. >> i don't know if there was any tipping point that i can reach to, but it was more a summation of things that had been adding up and just over and over again i saying in this doesn't seem right, this isn't what i was talkings in constitutional law courses -- taught in constitutional law courses or this isn't how you implement people's constitutional rights and balance those the rights with the law enforcement responsibility that we have to the people in this country. so it was more a summation of things that it was repetitive the inside the fbi where it was like this seems wrong. this seems wrong, that seems wrong, so it got to a point where i just couldn't sit back anymore and had to just start exposing some of the nefarious things that the fbi was doing. will: yeah, garrett, i know you
6:44 am
testified it to this weak, your life has been totally turned upside down as a result of your choice to speak. >> that's correct, it has been. and, you know, i'll reiterate, i made my oath to this country, and i'm going to stand by that oath no matter what the cost. that's all we can co, and i want to urge every american to stand by that oath. we all have a responsibility and a duty to this nation and to each other, and we're the ones who are responsible for making sure that our government and our country runs the way it's supposed to run. will: garrett, we heard your testimony when you said if you speak out, be ready, because the fbi will crush you. steve, there was an interesting moment with you and congressman dan goldman. he actually asked all of you guys about taking money from carb a pa el the, donations from kash patel who worked with president donald trump. goldman was suggesting to you, steve, that you basically are on the take, that you are a political operative for taking that donation.
6:45 am
what is your reaction? >> well, i'll put my patriotic bona fides up against congressman goldman any day of week. i was an unpaid fbi-suspended whistleblower, and i was not proud to accept a charitable donation, but i was earnly forced to do -- certainly forced to do so. this is one of things the fbi does to force and punish whistleblowers to leave. and even with debbie wasserman schultz accused me of writing a book, i didn't accept an advance, and i told my publisher i didn't expect to make a single cent. i just want the information taken seriously. will: it's a lot harder when you don't inherit millions as an heir of levi strauss. i need do you both one quick question and that is, you two are outstanding gentlemen. why are there not more? are there more inside the fbi? are there more people who feel like both of you? quickly to you, steve, and then to you, garrett. >> i think there are, and the way that this hearing went and the way that garrett and marcus and i were able to comport
6:46 am
ourselves against that that fire on the democratic side is going to encourage others. will: yeah. garrett, do a lot of people share your beliefs and observation ises about the fbi? >> i think a lot of people do share our beliefs and convictions, i think they just aren't at the point that steve and i and others have gotten to or they're too afraid, like we discussed in our testimony. they know, they've seen our example that we will be crushed. will: steve friend, garrett to boyle, thank you for speaking out. we appreciate it. >> thanks a lot. will: all right. tomorrow we have a big show, our in-studio voter panel weighs in on their top issues for 2024, plus shannon bream and maria bartiromo are here and a live performance by singer and song writer colton dixon. but first on this show, rachel's pop culture round-up, and we have a very special guest joining us, she's back. carley shimkus is here.
