[laughter] pete: i thought you were planting your garden today? rachel: i can do that with my hair down.

please don't mess if up my hair. will: that's why they call it news, you learn something new -- [laughter] pete: i'm learning along with you. will: welcome to the fourth hour of "fox & friends." president biden declaring some victory last night in his first prime time event from the oval office when it comes to the debt ceiling. he talked about a bipartisan agreement and then also also took a few shots at republicans and people who he says do not pay their fair share in faxes -- taxes. enjoy. >> my fellow americans, when i ran for president, i was told the days of bipartisanship were over and that democrats and republicans could no longer work together. but i refused to believe that. you know, we also protected the most significant breakthrough ever, ever, in dealing with the existential threat of climate change. today and new wind and solar power is cheaper than fossil fuel. we also have to raise revenue and go after tax cheats and make sure everybody's paying their fair share. republicans may not like it, but

i'm going to the make sure the wealthy pay their fair share. i'm also proposed closing over a dozen special interest tax loopholes for big oil, crypto traders, hedge fund billionaires saving taxpayers billions of dollars. >> extreme. they can't really make him offensive. i mean, one, he's a white man who's older, so, you know, he is comfortable. many in their base. but i i think also they have underestimated him. he's always been underestimated. he's got a little bit of a chip on his shoulder because of that,s that can serve you well. but i think they're trying to throw a lot of spaghetti the up at the wall, and so far they haven't quite figured it out. rachel: can we go back to what joe biden said earlier? he said today new wind, solar power is cheaper than fossil fuels. that's a lie. it's a lie. pete: and if it were to be true, why is that the case?

because you jacked up the price of oil by going after it, made it way too expensive for people, and then you subsidize an alternative that's supposed to be green. well, that's democrat math right there as to how you would do it -- rachel: can i add to the democrat math? now groceries are up 20% because of what he did to fuel prices. wayne will claiming strictly -- victory and seamlessly transitioning into his beginning of an attack on republicans is sort of why we saw that seamless bleeding into the chip of jen psaki there, one of his one-time surrogates, beginning to the take her shots at republicans as once again with the same more cow bell music as racist. this time though, to mentioner i read that as not just a shot at republicans, i independents and possibly democrats. she says it's because he's why not and old. pete: a lot of them are the same voters who would have -- the

racist voters who would have voted for obama twice. it's so -- by the way, jen psaki talking to joy who traffics in racism on a regular basis, so maybe she's just responding to the environment she's in at some level. but that's how they see voters is if, you know, you're a white man or white person, this is the category that you're in. it's the exact opposite of how we should be looking at people in this country, but they're trying to find any way to defend joe because his record is abysmal. if you watched that address, if you could stay wake for it, they should haved had subtitles on it. rachel: she's trying to say he's comfort, like comfort food. i saw joe biden this week fall on the stage. i don't feel comfortable with him as my president at all, especially in the very dangerous environment internationally, globally that he's created through his weakness in afghanistan, through his making us weaker by involving us in ukraine. this is a really bad time. i don't feel comfortable at all.

will: well, the race to replace him is on, especially in the republican primary. it's muted on democratic side as there parent apparently won't be any if debates for a guy polling 20 at 20%, rfk jar, but it is -- rfk jr., but it is heating up in iowa and south carolina where governor ron desantis was confronted in south carolina by a heckler. watch this. >> unfortunately, there's bad stuff that's getting into the schools. there's pornography that's getting into the schools, so the parents have had to blow the whistle in florida -- >> [inaudible] [bleep] >> they've had to -- yeah, welk thank you, thank you. we -- yeah, yeah, yeah. [inaudible conversations] we're not going to leapt you impose an agenda on our kids. we're going to stand up for our kids, we're going to to the make sure to do it right. that's what we're going to do. [cheers and applause] those people like that in florida are the people we beat every single day on policy. we do not let 'em win. [cheers and applause] we win all these battles.

we're not letting them to indoctrinate our kids. not on our watch. rachel: so already ron desantis getting the trump treatment, being called a fascist by heckler ares, and this will be the smear that he will get among many, many others. pete: any republican would. rachel: whoever ends up being the nomineing whatever's happening now, just wait. if you get to be the nominee -- i think, and we talked about this earlier, what republican voters need to look at right now is who can take these punches, who's willing to have their family, you know, smeared and mistreated. who's willing to be called a fascist, who can take all of these punches to the head from media, from big tech. who can ache the getting satisfied on and still be standing. of that's the question we need to ask because ron desantis is not going on the spared this. and i know there's a lot of people who say, you know, he's going to be the more palatable, you know, in a general election than donald trump.

they're both good, maybe, but i don't think so. i think he's going to get smeared and look as divisive as donald trump because that's what the media and all the other cultural forces will do to him. pete: go ahead, will. will i have no doubt that desantis will be able to take the punches. i think the question with of how it is internalized by the prick in a general election will be -- public in a general election will be dependent on -- that lady called him a fascist. he's been accused of banning books because he's banned, like, sexually explicit pornography in schools. and so who controls the language? here's another good example, whd gender-affirming care or more accurately described as interfering in the biological process of children either surgically or with hormones? rachel: genital mutilation. will: and so whoever controls the language controls how someone is perceived in that, in that general election among the

mass electorate. pete: but it is, if this is a line that republicans can't hold regardless who the candidate is, we might as well give up. and i hope this is a cultural moment 20 years from now and we see there was a moment when we let kids decide whether they were confused about their gender and do a life-altering sister-in-lawing that could never -- surgery that could never be undone because they were confused during puberty, which is the definition of puberty. but it takes courage right now not just many politics, especially in medicine, to the speak truth about that. they will come after you, they'll come after your license. we had a board-centerfied ob/gyn on the program earlier, and he was willing to be honest about what this so-called gender-affirming care really is. >> a lot of it has moved in that liberal direction, and a lot of the accreditation organizations have that view that this might be reasonable. a child that's going true

puberty is not sick, should not be subjected to something like this. childhood is just a time of being afraid of change. i think a lot of us might have had a blanket or a sufficiented animal we -- stuffed animal we loved because we were afraid of change. and for a physician to say you've got a way to take away the scariest change of all, puberty, and just put it on hold, that is the cruelest thing you could do to a -- do to a child. you're going to take away the time when they've got to the figure out what position they want of in this world, what heir going to be the in this world. will: under the banner of gender-affirming care. rachel: right. and under the banner of trying to help -- what this should tell you is what was revealed to you during covid. when it comes to the ideologies on the left, they are willing to the hurt children in order to advance them. they have done this time and time again, and i really encourage people, you know, because it's hard to understand what's the procedure. and i encourage our viewers, go online, look at the frankenstein

surgeries they have done on these children to give them new penises, to create genitalia out of nowhere using, you know, pieces of their own flesh to do it. it's absolutely unbelievable that any adult would defend this. but i think part of it is we need to see it. and i know it's the gruesome. i couldn't unsee it. once you with see what the procedure actually is or you see the body of a, you know, 15-year-old girl who now had her breasts chopped off, you know, in a double maas text text the who can now never -- maas text themy who can never breast-feed -- pete: it's just so sad. you say, where are the adults, where are the adults in medicine, where are the adults in those homes. the adults are the ones pushing it. they're pushing it in the schools, and they're pushing it in medicine on these young kids. social media reinforces it. you talked about seeing it, that doctor had a picture of a womb

in the background. by saying kids should be changing their gender is like saying god was wrong. you can play god at the age of 12 or 13. it's so sad. rachel: some of the parents though, to be fair, don't want to do this, question it, but they have these activists coming at them saying, well, would you rather have your child be dead than, you know, change their transition? there's this idea that -- pete: but you're the parent. rachel: of course. not common rated, but just concern common rated, but just know that the pressure, it's hard to understand for those of us with a lot of common sense just how much pressure, social pressure there is on parents to affirm. will: meanwhile, artificial intelligence continues to make its way into the headlines starting with how it affects jobs. fox business reporting, following in its monthly report released thursday, the firm challenger, gray and christmas said employers cited a.i. for

the reason of 3900 of the layoffs, roughly 4.9% of may's job cuts. always talk about it as a futuristic thing, that's pretty stark to hear. pete: i think about it in the simplest term it is of the chatgpt, and if something can produce a report that would take three people three days to it -- to do it and it can do it in three minutes, of course it does. and then it moves to lower skilled workers while we're importing millions of illegals, talk about a recipe for a crisis. rachel: we're up for a revolution maybe. pete: maybe. will: i spoke to martin rand, we talked about whether or not this whole thing, the rise in superficial intelligence or supernatural intelligence with, artificial intelligence is a threat to the humanity. watch. >> the risk is unknown. the probability of the risk. but if this risk is realized, the impact is very, very large. and look at what's happening right now.

actually, the industry is begging to be regular lated, and the congress know -- regulated, and the congress knows they need to regulate, but both sides know it's going to be the fiendishly hard. we need to use a. i. up to the point where we get value out of it but shut it down before it becomes dangerous. and, to of course, nobody knows when the point might come. will: you know, he said that, like, we need to advance a.i. to the point where it aids us and we get the best out of it but stop it short of where it represents a threat to us, and i asked what is our history with that? where have we said we're going to milk this technology and then stop it? that's not really what we do. his answer to me, by the way, was atomic energy. which many would say we shut that down prematurely, you know, we could and should be getting more out of i am topic energy than regulation has allowed it to, but i don't think we have any if great history of knowing when to hit the off button.

rachel: different societies have different standards of what's ethical, so there are experiments that we're not doing here, for example, on fetuses or, you know, other kind of biological experiments that we're, like, no way here. but we maybe fund them in other countries or those other countries don't have the same standards. pete: we're going to actually -- part of what will and i are going to the talk about on off the wall here in a moment is stuff we're funding in china and russia to the tune of millions and billions that do experiments, one on cats in russia on a tread mill. what happens to the cats when they get off the treadmill? will: yeah. rau rhode island and you're a cat person -- rachel: and you're a cat person. pete: i love 'em. rachel: there goes your tax dollarss.

vandalism, acts of violence directed towards or catholics are being treated differently than, say, other faiths or other religion? -- by the law. >> [inaudible] rachel: of course. >> absolutely. well, yeah. and thank you for having me and for shining a light on this issue because we certainly aren't hearing about it from the biden administration. look, we live in an era where we see condemnation of bigotry in most forms. just last month there were a couple of mockses that were vandalized -- mosques. the biden administration spoke out immediately against that, and we agreed. a place of worship should never be vandalized, but we're seeing over 300 instances of attacks of violence and vandalism against catholic churches in the last three years in the aftermath of the death the of george floyd and 160 attacks since the dobbs decision last may. and i think what's really troubling to the a lot of americans is they feel like their places of worship are not safe, and when the federal

government does get involved, it's to advocate for reducing or dropping charges against these criminals, as you've mentioned. we've only been able to document instances of rests in about a quarter of these attacks -- arrests -- and that's not because local law enforcement is unwilling to do the work, it's they do not v.a. the resources -- have the resources to combat what is a nationwide surge. so we've been calling on the federal government to devote the appropriate resources to these attacks against churches over the last two years, and they just haven't been willing to do it. rachel: yeah. it seems counterintuitive that the biden administration wouldn't care. here we have joe biden, a catholic are, he likes to talk about his faith, somebody who wrote an article about his catholicism, got some big, fancy prize. so it's something he touts and yet he's not doing anything about it. i'm sure catholic vote has looked at this, what do you attribute this rise in anti-catholic hate around the country and even in other parts of the world? what is driving it?

>> well, unfortunately, i think we just have a climate where everything is politicized, and it's also a spiritual battle. you know, i've documented all these cases, i've examined them, i've talked to a lot of the a pastors of churches that have been attacked, and i know one parish in maryland where a gentleman set everything on the altar on fire and also to a confessional door. anybody who's catholic understands the the importance of the sam cent of -- sacrament of confession. he knew exactly what he was doing. and i think what you're seeing with this story about the dodgers honoring an anti-catholic hate group which makes a travesty of our faith and commits the most sacreligious outrages they can imagine, i think catholics can't help but feel under seen. if you can't feel safe going to church in the morning on sunday, that's a really troubling place to be in america that we haven't seen since the 1800s. rachel: well, we're really grateful for your organization drawing attention to this. the media certainly isn't doing it, as you pointed out, our

administration seems not to the care. but all americans should care about this, and it's not just a catholic problem, it's an american problem. really appreciate you joining used today, tommy. ing thank you. tommy valentine. >> thank you, rachel. rachel: god bless. still ahead, erasing history? fort bragg officially renamed as progressives continue their push to shed confederate names from military bases. retired lieutenant colonel scott mann became a green beret at that base, and he joins us next. plus, biden-flation impacting the price of almost everything you buy, but a few products are beating rising prices, and we're going to tell you which ones next. ♪ yeah, you're a natural ♪ it's not too late for another treatment option.
