pete: we begin. this sunday morning with a fox news alert. a chinese warship coming within 150 yards of a u.s. destroyer in the taiwan strait in the latest chinese provocation in the region. u.s. indo-pacific command slamming their chinese counterparts for maneuvering in an unsafe manner. rachel: china says it's the monitor thed the two ships but made no mention of the close call. this comes days after a chinese fighter jet did its own unnecessary aggressive maneuver by buzzing around an american recon plane. will: all this as the ccp if cracks down on activists as today marks 34th anniversary of tiananmen square massacre. eight people were detained, accused of disrupting order in public space. hong kong used to hold some of the biggest vigils to honor those kills in the infamous demonstration, instead this year a pro-beijing carnival was held where those vigils used to the take place.

good morning and welcome to this edition of "fox & friends" on this sunday morning. scary tensions there in china. highlights the need for prudence, judgment and the right leadership in the united states of america. pete: no no, that's exactly right. these provocations are not by accident. the chinese see their understood. look at hong kong. their takeover there was slow and and now complete, which means remembrances of tiananmen square are no longer tolerated k and they want taiwan across that strait. those are international waters where that close call occurred. make no mistake about it, these chinese warships know exactly where they're going. rachel: i think seeing what's happening in hong kong where people used to honor and commemorate what happened and now there's nothing except pro-ccp rallies? this should make everyone wake up. wherever china goes, this is what will happen. by the way, we're seeing the

chinaification of america here where protests and dissent and censorship are on rise as well. so, you know, something to the really keep an eye on. pete: and, will with, you mentioned leadership and what different leadership means when it comes the foreign crises. well, donald trump was on with sean hand i on thursday night -- hannity on thursday night in iowa, and he talked about why these things are happening. take a listen. >> i said, president, don't do it with taiwan, don't even think about doing it with taiwan. he was never going to do it, and now he's circling, circling, ships are circling, planes are flying over the top, 28 bombers last week right over middle of it and if a lot of stuff going on. and a lot of this has to do also with the fact that we were so incompetent in the way we left afghanistan. [applause] i think e service the most, it was the most embarrassing and most incompetent the moment in the history of our country. rachel: yeah. and he's right about that.

and i think this whole presidential election that we're coming into is going to be the a test of strength. who do we think is strong enough to stand up to what you're seeing right there, which is an army determined to take over. pete: he was right about that, he was right about ukraine and the invasion, you know, under obama, under biden, not under trump. when you look a world leader in the eye and say don't do it because you'll pay, that matters. and we know in multiple instances -- will: it absolutely mattereds. it's the nature of international politics. it's not capable of being ignored, as you just pointed out, pete, what's happened in the last couple of years. if china in an a aggressive stance the, russia on the march in ukraine, the world senses its moment. rachel: do you remember in the summer of 2020 the in hong kong -- pete: was that the summer of love? rachel: ray that was summer of love. and they were burning flags and tearing down our cities here, but over in hong kong they were waving hundreds and hundreds of

american flags. those were the protesters i was most interested in watching that summer. and now where are they? many of them imprisoned, disappeared and now fake, you know, pro-china as prothe turf type of -- pete: and if there were a conflict, you wonder about competence of our military leadership now. you don't want to have to worry about that, but they're distracted by a lot of other priorities. rachel: absolutely. will: here nor america we pay tribute to those who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms. pete: this morning the unto the towers' 104-story tower climb returns here in new york city to honor the life and sacrifice of 9/11 heroes. rachel: rick reichmuth joins us live from lower manhattan. rick, good morning. rick: good morning, guys. a really exciting morning. got here early and take a look at how many people have already climbed up the stairs here honoring those who came and

marched into this building on 9/11 to try to help people. nowst used as a way to honor the strength and the resill yen city of the american spirit after being attacked like this and a fundraiser for tunnel to towers that has provided over 1,000 homes to the those injured, catastrophically injured or families of gold star families. this event going on annually, and it's the here today. there are local chapters around the country that have tower climbs, 5ks, 10ks. if you want to find out, t2t.org and you can get involved in your town, but we've got a lot of great guests lined up and a really great view of where you guys are over many in one of those way lower buildings in midtown the manhattan. pete: it's true. rick, or you don't look very sweaty though. did you walk your way up? are. rick: so i thought that was part of this whole thing, and i got

here and they're like, hey, let's just get you straight to the elevator to the op. so, no, i didn't do it. [laughter] will: rick, i am genuinely curious, how quick was the winner many climbing those 104 stories, and what's the average, if we just took off and tried to do this one year, how long does it take somebody to climb? rick: leapt me ask you, how long do you think it would take you to the climb 104 stories? will: i don't know. i don't have a frame of reference. pete: i'm going to say 15, 20 the minutes. will: really? that's all? if no, an hour. rachel: that's what i was thinking. will: i don't know. rick: me too. the average, i think, is about 15 minutes. i think the fastests is, like, 12 minutes. by the way, we're standing right where the people come up. a double amputee just finished his 104-story climb through here, so give you a sense of what people are willing to do to understand what's happened here at this place and to honor those who lost their lives in this

process. will: all right. thank you, rick, so much. rachel: thanks, rick. will: we'll be checking in all morning long. yesterday we brought you the story that was the roast and ride, joni earnest -- earn ernst's big event. i think almost everyone was in attendance but for the obvious exception of donald trump. i believe most other candidates were there -- pete: pretty close. rachel: only one -- will: mike pence, who has not yet announced, but it's expected at any time. you can see he was one of the few people to actually ride the motorcycle, he and ernst both road -- pete: she looks natural in a biker vest. [laughter] rachel: no, i don't think so. but you know who did wear a jacket was casey desantis. she wore a leather jacket. it was really hot, so pretty

admirable, it says where woke goes to the die. of course, a lot of people comparing casey to melania trump who also wore a jacket, was ride proking on the back of it at one point. pete: they went nuts with that. rachel: yeah, they went nuts before the hurricane -- or in the aftermath of the hurricane. but donald trump the not there, as you said, will. he's not going to want to go where he has to share the limelight. pete: yeah. i don't know what the latest polling shows 40-point, i mean, 35, 40, 45 points many some of these early states. if someone's polling at 3, 2%, 1% or barely a glib, why share that -- blip, why share that spotlight? a calculation right now. here's a little montage, if you will, as we say, of the candidates on the stage at roast and ride.

watch. >> we see the problems day after day, but i think american decline is a choice. >> if you're able-bodied in america, you work. every single able-bodied american should go to work. [applause] and i will say this, as president of the united states i am running because i believe america can do for anyone what she has cone for me. >> we're going to produce oil in this country, we're going to drill the, and we're going to have the all energy sources including the renewable energy that is so important here in iowa. >> when i was at the united nations, i went to the simon bowl very bridge between venezuela and colombia, and i watched thousands of venezuelans walk in the hot sun for hours to get the one meal they might get that day. they were killing zoo animals were food. they were fleeing socialism and

begging for freedomment. >> i am running for president of the united states, and i love this country. >> we believe in the individual, the family, the nation and god, the things that actually made e this country what we really are, the principles that set this nation into motion 250 years ago. >> i feel this is my time. i have a patriotic, a religious and a moral obligation to do what i can. will: you know, i read through some of the statements made this morning by various candidateses. i will say among those who spoke, they were all asked why are you running for president, and just, you know, as a written word meaning not listening to the way it's delivered or how style affects substance, the one that speakes to me the most is vivek ramaswamy. he because seem to have a deep understanding among those that were there in iowa, he does seem to have a deep understanding of what is at stake and what is important about this country, constantly referencing 5 the 0 years of principles -- 250 years

of principles that are deep and philosophically embedded in who we are. he knows the fight is not just one of this moment. rachel: i couldn't agree with you more. i think those philosophical ideas are under attack the like you've never seen before, but some of the people that are running you just wonder, you know, a lot of consultants getting very rich off of convincing these people that they have a chance. and sometimes you wonder is this just a money scheme for some of them, because it makes no sense. a few of them. pete: it's true. a few that fit into that category, i believe, are expected to announce this week. the official field's going to get larger this week. we believe that former vice president mike pence will announce this week, former new jersey governor chris christie,9 and the guy i did not have on my bingo card, doug berg ham, the north dakota governor. where's the lane for any of

them? i have no idea. finish but the field is getting bigger, which many people posit says just benefits donald trump. rachel: right. pete: if you're grabbing another 2 of the people that aren't in the -- 2% of the people that aren't in the trump camp, you're deluding anyone who could make a serious challenge. rachel: i couldn't agree more. will: t not an obvious lane. so what will be the tactic, what will be the strategy, what will be their message to say this is why i, among this field, should be the president of the united states. rachel: and we talked a little bit yesterday about how brutal that will be, that as vilified and demonized as donald trump is, whoever looks like they're in the top two or three are going to to get the same treatment. and, you know, the question is who can take the it. who can take that and still stand. we know donald trump can do that, but none of these people have had to do with that onslaught yet. will: turning now to your headlines, the suspect accused of shooting and killing a west virginia state trooper is in

custody. police say the suspect opened fire on officers responding to reports of a shooting friday. he was taken into custody later that night and stopped in a stolen car at a police checkpoint. he's been charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bond. sergeant corey maynard was transported to the hospital where he passed away from his injuries. president biden signed the bipartisan debt ceiling bill into law yesterday. it avoids what could have been a catastrophic government default. president biden touting the deal were reducing -- for reducing the deficit, safeguarding social security, medicare and medicaid and support for veterans. it comes after a month months-long battle with republicans. now to the usfl. the birmingham stallions make a late comeback to the take down the philadelphia stars at home. [cheers and applause] >> mcgoo. if towards the end zone, and

it's caught for the touchdown! [cheers and applause] will: birmingham improved its record to 6-2 with the win. we've got a doubleheader on fox frizz -- or today. it's sunday. we're all tired. [laughter] rachel dumped her coffee on me, it's a mess here. rachel: it's true. will: the new jersey devils will take on the memphis showboats at 1 p.m. followed by the michigan pan hers and new orleans breakers at 4. those are your headlines. pete: there's a flurry of activity. papers like this -- [laughter] rachel: you know what happened? i thought, you know, i have a few segments, i'm going to read ahead. and i -- will: dumping cups everywhere. rachel: i dumped his cup. you did so well, no one would have known that happened. you handled it is so well. pete: you did. rachel: anyway. i'm going to get to this.

pete: newly-revealed text the messages shedding light on the relationship between the president of the nation's second largest teachers union, randi weingarten, and cdc director rochelle walensky during covid-19. randi weingarten taking issue with the language for reopening schools that was coming out, specifically the phrase all schools can provide in-person instruction. so this is february 11th of 2021. language that's leaked to the new york times is highlighted, all schools can provide in-person instruction. now, that was not good enough for randi weingarten. she then in february 12th, is

she reached out and took issue with it. this is the guidance that actually came out. all schools have options to provide in the-person instruction. just looser, saying maybe you don't have to come back in person. but then we got the actual text from february 12th, and the white is, is the -- excuse me, randi weingarten. this is the walensky. so randi weingarten says thank you for changing the language, and the cdc director says this gave me the biggest smile of the week. thank you, friend. to which this is randi weingarten, check this, we will fuss a little on ventilation, more funding, more money ventilation in schools, but i'm so is grateful. me too, totally fair. by the way, this link was sent on the top. these chummy messages were uncovered thanks to the a freedom of information request by the fairfax county parents' association, and that spokeswoman, chris i the hudson,

joins us now -- chris i the hudson. christy, thank you very much for being here. did you expect to get this chummy of an exchange? we knew they were communicate, but they were effectively in cahoots, and the union was running the show. >> right. right. we were not surprised at all. by the fact that there was political maneuvering behind reopening plans. parents witnessed that firsthand back in 2021. but we were a little surprised to see just how chummy the relationship between the teachers union and the cdc was. i think most of us tend to think of the cdc as sort of the gold standard in using science-based, very fact-driven metrics to develop public policy, and these text messages read like friends making dinner plans. pete: yes. we used to think of them that way, but stuff like this and how they acted eroded that a long time ago. by the way, so randi weingarten didn't want us to see any of

this because she's been claiming she wanted to open the schools all along. here she is at a house hearing in april. watch. >> we spent every day from february on trying to get schools open. with we knew that remote education was not if a substitute for opening schools. they wanted to be in school teaching. they knew that remote was not right for our kids. we knew we had to be in school. we just wanted to be safe. pete: oh, boy. the passion. she wanted to open it so badly that she watered down the language to the make sure schools didn't have to open. >> yeah, that's a complete rewriting of history. any parent and child can tell you that. what we saw over and over were the teachers unions, the cdc putting adult wants in front of children's needs. [inaudible]

during the pandemic. pete: absolutely. by the way, good on the association for this freedom of information request. we don't get the truth about to who wanted kids in school, and it certainly wasn't randi weingarten and the teachers unions. christy hudson, thank you so much for sharing this with us this morning. >> thank you. pete: coming up, former white house press secretary jen psaki cites race and age as a reason republicans are can comfortable with joe. >> they can't make him extreme, they can't really make him offensive. mine, one, he's a white man -- i mean, one, he's a white man who's older, so he's comfortable. >> yeah, he's their base. pete: lieutenant colonel allen west reacts next. and we take a look at the reason behind push the sexualize young kids in america.

will: fox news alert, growing tensions with china this morning as one of their warships nearly hits a u.s. destroy, coming within 150 yards in the taiwan strait. this latest act of aggression coming just days after a chinese jet flew within 400 feet of a u.s. recon flight over the south china sea. retired u.s. army lieutenant colonel allen are west joins us now. colonel, great to see you this morning. >> great on with you, will. will: they're saying we are the provocateurs, we're near their homeland, they are saying we are the ones causing this heightened tension. what are we supposed to read from these situations? >> what we're supposed to the realize is that china's our numb one geopolitical foe, and we need to the start getting back ott moral if high ground that we once had against them. china's the one that that has killed hundreds of thousands of americans due to the fentanyl issue, killed millions of americans because of the release of the covid virus. and so we have a president that for whatever reason seems

compromised and not taking a tough stance on china and, therefore, they see weakness, not strength which is a very strong deterrent. will: yeah. it makes you wonder, colonel, where this is going to go. does -- the path with china does not seem like it's headed at least toward safe ground. >> no, it's not. and china has been in an economic war against us for quite some time the, and now they've stepped up their game to make it a military war. and all you have to do is read their one belt, one road advantage to understand exactly what china's goals and intentions are. will: yes. kohl colonel, i want to get your perspective on jen psaki, she had this to say this yesterday -- i don't know that she's talking about republicans, she might be talking about independents or she might be talking about america at large, why they feel the way they codo about joe biden. >> they can't make him extreme, they can't really make him offensive. mine, one -- i mean, one, he is a white man who's older. >> yeah. >> so he's comfortable -- >> he's their base of. >> many in their base. but i think also they have

underestimated him. will: so he's white -- [laughter] and older and, therefore, he's comfortable. i think she's talking about the republican base. >> well, there are a lot of imbecilic comments and conversations that come from that station and just add that to the list of really stuck on stupid commentary. you know, right now the thing that is hurting joe biden is the fact that he is not leading this country. we just talk about the situation with china. no one wants to see this high inflation. no one wants to see the lack of border security and, you know, it's really affecting us here in texas. you mow that very well. but when you think about our domestic security, when you look at what has happened with crime, when you look at what has happened with this debt issue, all of these things are the reasons why no one is really fond of joe biden, what he's doing. that's why heir going to try to have this basement strategy once again. i don't know what demographics she's talking about, but i represent the old black conservative guys -- [laughter] we don't like him.

will: yeah. i kind of reject the premise. i'm not sure who's comfortable with joe biden, certainly not the base of the republican party. and then finally, colonel, you served at fort bragg. i know you also served at fort hood in texas as well. >> yeah. will: fort bragg's now been renamed, its new name is fort liberty. it's the most recent example, most prominent really of the army rebranding in an effort to erase confederate names from their bases. i'd love your take. >> this is why china is being aggressive, because we're worried about changing the names of military installations instead of the readiness and capability capacity of our -- forces. the united states army is not meeting its reedges and is recruiting goals because we're focused on this cultural marxism and these silly things. fort bragg is fort bragg, no one cared about braxton the bragg being a confederate general. if anything, if you're going to change the name, then why not change it to matthew ridgeway or

jim gavin who were commanders of the 8 2nd airborne acquisition in combat. -- division in combat. it shows the misguided priorities of the progressive left. will: yeah, that seems to be the key, the priorities. this is in the same conversation you and i are talking about the march forward for china, and this is where we are marching forward. colonel allen west, always great to talk to to you. >> thanks, will. god bless. will: take care. still ahead, the role of religion in the 2024 presidential election. i spoke with vivek ramaswamy who says he believes in god and that it will impact the way he governs if elected. that's coming up. but first, we're live from the tunnel to towers tower climb new york city. let's check in with rick reichmuth who is at 1 world trade center this morning. hey, rick. rick: hey, guys. i just found our fox team. this is rebecca. you put all this together. i know you don't want to be on camera. how much have you guys raised? >> over $12,000, and there's 16

of us. rick: that's awesome. these are just fox employees. abby back here, by the way, she's trying to hide. amazing work, guys. we'll be right back.iv more "fox & friends" comine g up. but one out of two women over 50 will suffer a fracture from osteoporosis. you should know you can build new bone with evenity® for postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture. ask your doctor if you can do more than just slowing down bone loss with evenity®. want stronger bones? then build new bone; evenity® can help in just 12 months. evenity® is proven to reduce spine fracture risk by 73%. evenity® can increase risk of heart attack, stroke, or death from a cardiovascular problem. do not take evenity® if you have low blood calcium, or are allergic to it. serious allergic reactions and low blood calcium have occurred. tell your doctor about jaw bone problems,

rachel: we've been telling you some crazy story the about the ongoing push the sexualize children. for example, drag queen story hour events popping up across the country, and some teachers

have been recommending books to students with very sexually-explicit content. so why is the happening? well, it turns out it's all rooted in marxism. here to explain is heritage foundation senior fellow mike gonzalez. mike, it's so great of you here. people are horrified by this ruthless effort to sexualize our children. parents and grandparents can't understand why it's happening. you know the root cause of this. explain how sexualizing children, robbing them of their innocence actually hayings the marxist -- hastens the marxist cultural revolution that they're trying the wage here. >> yeah, thanks, rachel, and that's exactly what is happening. they want to dismantle society. they don't hide it. when you read or listen to them, and one has to when you take the time to read what they say, they tell you whether it's the sex or race or climate, what they want to do is dismantle american society, they want to dismantle all our institutions. and the most basic institution

is the family. so they say -- and they have said it, you know, that we want to take apart the family. and the way to do that is through the children. so if they teach depravity to the children, if they teach them sex, they can then, they say, well, don't listen to your mom and dad, don't listen to religion. all they want to do is take pleasure away. hay want to use pleasure, which is something god gave us, to the, as a powerful force to blow up all the things that hold society together. rachel: right. >> so this is, we need to look at what heir doing to the dodgers. rachel: right. well, we'll get to that in just a second. they want to separate children from from their parents' values by sexualizing them, and the other thing that happens when you sexualize children prematurity is they grow up to be very confused, unhappy adults who are more likely to become radicals and agents of the

marxist rev are pollution. now, this is not just -- this isn't just happening here. this actually, this curriculum and this idea of sexualizing children happened way back in 1919, the marxists were doing this in the hungary. >> right. the no star for cull iture of the hungarian soviet in 919 -- 1919 actually had a program to teach depravity to children and so say -- to say all the things i just described, do not listen to your parents, do not listen to religion. of it was so at odds with what the hungarian people, the workers, the peasants, all aspects of society believed that the turn garon -- hungarian soviet lasted for 300 days, he was overthrown right away. rachel: yeah. >> but it's not just. that i mean, they then have carried this through -- rachel: right. >> in 1955 there was a book about it, arrows in civilization, which was a

bestseller in this country about how to use sex as a way to destroy the family unit. rachel: mike, you wrote an excellent piece in the washington examiner about the situation with the dodgers and their celebrating of the sisterses of perpetual indulgence. you say it was very deliberate, that they picked the american pastime of baseball to make this statement, but you also say that we have a binary choice as americans. we either surrender to this cultural revolution, or we've got to fight like hell right now. >> that's right. and i think many americans are fight. and the way to fight is one very useful way is to boycott. for example, look what's happening to bud light, to anheuser-busch and argument. by the way, they are focusing on brands that are for people, for us, everyday americans, you know, bud light is not a beer that is an elite craft we're

or -- beer or an import if. neither is target. target is not nieman marcus. they're going after -- baseball is really home-spun goodness. it's apple, mom and hot dogs, cracker jacks. they want to the destroy this first. they want to make sure that no institution institution is safe. so i think americans need to say no to this, no, i'm not going to sit by. these are not cultural wars in air quotes that that i can just sit out and let are others lead. -- let others lead. we need to speak out about this. this is not going to happen -- what they want to do is really bring the worst instincts into the best things like baseball. rachel: right. well, i think that you're right. these boycotts are helping, but i think understanding the why of what's behind all of this is really important in fighting this battle, and you've been

doing a great job of bringing attention to this. we thank you, mike gonzalez, and we encourage everyone to the read your piece in the washington examiner. thanks a lot, mike. >> thank you, rachel. have a great request sunday. rachel: oh, you ooh. pete? pete: all right. take it from here. turning now to some headlines starting with this, cause of yesterday's deadly train crash in india remains unknown as desperate rescue efforts continue. a preliminary report finding the accident involving three trainses may have resulted from a signal failure. at least 288 people are dead and over 900 hurt as a result of the crash. and a lightning strike is believed to have caused the fire that destroyed a 160-year-old church in massachusetts. dozens of firefighters responded to the blaze at first congressional united church on friday. the fire originally started went a thunderstorm moved true the area. the church dates back to the mid 1700s, but its original

pete: the u.s. rocked by far-left violence and fiery protests in recent years, most notably the summer of 2020. well, a new study now claims this kind of left-wing extremism is linked to highly disturbing and toxic personality traits. rachel: researchers arguing,

quote, individuals with dark personalities such as high narcissistic and psychopathic traits are attracted to certain forms of political and social activism which they can use as a vehicle to the satisfy their own ego-focused needs instead of actually aiming at social justice and equality. will: our next guest is a psychotherapist who says these findings make total sense and joins us now to the explain. i have so many questions. rachel: i know. me too. will: but i think we all have said, you know, many of these positions and opinions and virtue signaling are about narcissism or they're about the speaker, not the cause. why does this make sense to you? >> well, i mean, this is the perfect platform for people with these kinds of personalities to get themselves noticed, to create anarchy and so forth. but interestingly, i have a new book called "raising healthy teenagers," and i have a chapter about oppositional defined behavior, and there is a professor out of arizona christian university named

george can who wrote a 6 2-page report about the millennial generation. and interestingly, despite their advocacy for tolerance, they merged from his report as the least tolerant generation. rachel: yeah. i don't find that surprising either. but, yeah, there is a lot of irony in that, for sure. so i guess let's talk about the chicken and the egg, right? so is it that, you know, people who have these anticipates are attracted to the this -- traits are attracted to this, can being inside of this activist movement make you more narcissistic? how does that all work? and the role of social media which is such a big part of activism, and that's so narcissistic many so many ways. >> it is. and these people, you know, they're seeking disruptive behavior, particularly the ones that have psychopathic traits, right? the ones with psychopathic traits, they don't have any everyone hawaii for other human beings, they can't handle somebody disagreeing with them, so heir looking whether it's the

behind their computers to shake things up, to tick people off, to get themselves noticed. but when they're the out there burning down buildings, toss thing molotov cocktails, you know, this is behavior that is just, like, off the charts and and, you know, there's a reason why that younger generation concern i think something like 27% of them, you know, suffer from some form of a mental health issue. and 90 -- these people that we're seeing out there the in that age group lack meaning and purpose in life according to that survey. pete: we don't have much time, but how much to that meaning and purpose point has to do with faith? if you don't believe in something bigger, then you're the center of the universe. >> let me read something for you, pete. check this out. 96% of millennials lack a biblical world view. when you look at 1940s and 1950s, 90% of people believed in god. and when you don't have a faith in a higher power, you can become a free-roaming, immoral human being with nothing, you know, no reason, you know, to

have values, morals and -- rachel: yeah. will: fascinating. worthy of a much deeper conversation. thank you so much for being with us. pete: thank you, thomas. >> good teeing you guys. will: all right, coming up, tomorrow congressman james comer will finally get to the see an fbi document allegedly tied to biden family business deals. what we mow about the highly credible whistleblower behind that report. my groove. ♪(uplifting music)♪ along with significantly clearer skin... skyrizi helps me move with less joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and fatigue. and is just 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. skyrizi attaches to and reduces a source of excess inflammation that can lead to skin and joint symptoms. with skyrizi 90% clearer skin and less joint pain are possible. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms,
