>> we begin with a fox news alert, a chinese war ship coming within 150 yards of a u.s. destroyer in the taiwan strait. the latest chinese provocation in the region. u.s. indo-pacific command slamming their chinese counterparts for maneuvering in an unsafe manner. >> china said it monitored the two ships but made no mention of the close calls, days after a chinese fighter jet did an unnecessary aggression i've maneuver by buzzing around an american reconnaissance plane as the seep contracts -- ccp

contracts down on ac activists. rachel: agent people were detained in hong kong, acured of disrupting order in a public space. his year, a carnival has been held where those vigils used to take place. and that's the new hong kong for you. in 2020, they were protesting the ccp and there were, i mean, gazillions of american flags as our protesters in the summer of 2020 were burning flags, american flags in hong kong they were flying american flags and calling for freedom of course, that didn't come to them. now you see these fake pro beijing protests instead of the tradition of honoring those brave people who tried to fight against communism in tiananmen square. >> every inch of space you give

over becomes a place where freedom does not exist. president trump said the provocations are because we look weak from what happened in afghanistan to the minor incursion in ukraine. rachel: to the falling on the stage. >> to the falling on the stage of beijing, may be unnoterly looking at this saying this is a moment to move, this is a moment to test. rachel: they're playing it over and over again in china. >> earlier in the program we had l lieutenant colonel allen west on, talking about the growing threat from china. >> china is the one that has killed hundreds of thousands of americans do due to the fentanyl issue, killed millions of americans because of the release of the covid virus. we have a president who seems compromised, is not taking a tough stance on china, they see weakness, not strength which is a strong deterrent and they stepped up their game to make it a military wall and all you have to do is read the one belt, one

road strategy to understand what china's goals and intentions are. >> just putting greater emphasis on what kind of leadership we choose at home in the united states of america. rachel: no question. looking to someone who is strong, can fight against the army that you saw right there on your screen, that is absolutely determined to become the global leader of the united states and of the world over the united states and so, yeah, really important stuff as we move forward looking at this. >> yeah, they're committing cultural warfare against us, political, economic war fare, health, virus warfare. this is part of the strategy. the communist chinese want to defeat us without having to have a military confrontation if they can, culturally. it may come down to something militarily and it's a pretty scary thought. rachel: another part of their strategy is called elite capture and that's something that we've been following throughout the show which is looking out in what ways might joe biden have been compromised, taking money

from some foreign government. we don't quite yet know from that document which foreign government we're talking about from that document but we do know that the biden family has taken money from the chinese and one wonders whether some of the policies that have been enacted over the last two years that have weakened us vis-a-vis china have to do with the money that the biden family has taken from this country. >> so much focus on leadership, appropriate focus on leadership, let's take a break and focus on the spirit of the american people which is well embodied today by those participating in the tunnel of to towers 104 stoy tower climb in new york city. it's at one world trade center, honoring the lives and sacrifices of heroes on 9/11. we asked earlier how long does this take. you can see some com contestants there. how long it takes, pete had the right answer, roughly 15, 20 minutes. rachel: it's intense, not easy. >> you have guys doing it on

one leg or prosthetics,. >> double amputees. >> showing the commitment they have to the sacrifice of that morning of so many that ran upstairs when others ran down and the commitment the toners of towers maintains to first responders and military members. rick has been covering it all morning. he had a chance to talk to frank sillers. >> think of the stories from that day of firefighters in the stairwells, saving people, they're going up the stairs and everyone else is going down, outside the building. it was the greatest rescue effort ever in america, saved over 25,000 lives but we lost so many great heros that day so we saw the tunnels for towers foundation and we build houses for service members and first responders and pay off mortgages for gold star widows and fallen heroes that leave people behind.

one is blind and lost two limbs besides, it's incredible the stories and the widows, gold star widows, fallen first responder widows but the love and energy is palpable. >> may we never forget the evil of that day and evil manifests he'll where around the globe as -- evil manifests elsewhere around the globe that we talked about. they remind us of that at tunnels of towers. rachel: i'm reminded when we see frank, what a great brother he is, he kept his brother's memory alive in such a beautiful way and never letting us forget. >> you can help by donating and visiting at t2t.org. back to leadership now, several contenders for the republican nominee for president visiting iowa for joni ernst roast and ride campaign, a barbecue rally. everyone was in attendance except for your frontrunner for republican nominee for

president, donald trump. for example, although he has not announced he will run for president, look like he will this week, mike pence was on a harley davidson with joni ernst and he had a vest on. >> he did, rocked the vest. pence look. although he's a motorcycle rider, you have to give him credit for that. i wouldn't trust myself on that. >> i've soon you ride motorcycling. rachel: those are big motorcycles. you said rock the vest. casey de santis was rocking a leather jacket. it was pretty hot there. the leather jacket said where woke goes to die, i think that's a picture of anil gator and something -- an alligator and something about florida. >> pete is making fun of me because i crashed his motorcycle. rachel: i do remember this. >> what do you think if one of the candidates rode a moped. >> a moped? >> not gone over well. >> it would have to be on the other side of the aisle. >> for sure. i've got my electric moped, vote

for me. rachel: is that what will looked like in your backyard. >> he looked cooler than that. >> the two seconds i was on. >> two seconds on the dirt bike. >> i eventually figured it out. >> he did. >> by the way, the contenders also took to the stage. here's what they all had to say, here a montage. >> one of the most striking features of our civilization -- >> or not. on "fox & friends." we don't? we don't have it. >> we don't have it. we had ron de santis, tim scott, you had vivek ramaswamy, you had asa hutchinson. rachel: they said a bunch of stuff. >> nikki haley, they took to the stage. donald trump was not there. he did what -- he does his own thing. he did a town hall with sean hannity on thursday night. millions of people saw that, probably more than saw the roast and ride, as popular as it is in iowa and his thinking has been, you know, if you've got guys at 1, 2, zero percent, why share the stage like you're on the

same level when via i have a0 point lead in iowa. rachel: he's that far ahead. he doesn't want to share the stage with people who he thinks are getting 1, 2%. >> now we have the sound from what happened on the stage. 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. 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 done for me. >> we're going to produce oil in this country. we're going to drill and we're going to have 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 boulevard bridge between

venezuela and columbia and i watched thousands oven of venezuelans walk in the hot sun for hours to get the one meal they might get that day. they were killing zoo animals for food. they were fleeing socialism and begging for freedom. >> 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 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. rachel: i just keep thinking about the segment we did before about china and just how imminent that threat is, how much it's growing and i think that what people are going to look at is who looked strong, who will take on the chinese, who will take on the border, who will do the hard stuff that we

know the left is going to be fighting. you're not just fighting the chinese, you're fighting the democrats and the chinese and so this is a big question and i think people are looking at all of these candidates and going who can do it or who has done it. >> yeah. right now foreign policy not front and center but at any moment it could be and that will be -- let's compare the weakness of this administration to the previous. >> just a quick note on that. we talk a lot about domestic policy, cultural issues, they're very important. unfortunately, it's a surprise moment and a gravely important home when you're reminded the president's number one job is foreign poll circumstance it is national -- poll circumstance it is national security, to lead america on the world stage. >> which makes the next 18 months so precarious. rachel: when we look at foreign policy, it's not just china. we have ukraine still there. we don't talk enough about how that's affecting our military, our supplies and our budget as we've seen the last week,

dealing with the debt limit. >> it's a crowded field but we're told, we understand that this week formerly the -- formally the republican field will expand by at least three. we're expecting the former vice president mike pence to announce, ch chris christie and doug bergam of north dakota joining the field. >> what's the total? >> not seeing the lead. the total after that, i think will be seven or eight. rachel: is that to make money for themselves or consultants? what is behind that? some people i get it. some, i don't. >> take the three of those and mike pence, fine. the only calculation has to be something drastic changes. that's the only calculation. rachel: just in case. >> right now, if you're a voter in the republican primary and you have the options of donald trump which has over 50% right now and then or a ron de santis, where is mike pence's lane?

or chris christie? who are the clamoring chris christie voters right now. i mean that. we talk to republicans all the time. there's no one out there saying hey, chris christie's my guy. rachel: right. so why would you put yourself through that. there's some ulterior motive i believe. maybe keep your name out there. >> i've long been a big supporter of the former president. but look at it objectively. what is -- like politically objectively you don't really see it and maybe it is consultants or poll numbers they're telling people there is a lane but based on what baked poll numbers? >> i think it's anticipation that at some point some bomb drops that changes the field, that's got be the answer and having the opportunity to make your case. rachel: i don't know what else they could throw at donald trump. they've thrown everything at him. he's still at over 50%. >> fascinating study came out when it comes to progressive policies, extreme left wing policies, extreme activists that

the personality traits closely associated with that are narcism and psychopathic tendencies. individuals with dark personalities such as nature's cystic and psychopathic traits are attracted to activism which they can use to satisfy ego focused needs instead of aiming at social justice and equality. >> it's a really interesting study that looked at over 400 adults and their own psychological makeup and their political makeup and found that a lot of these done den sighs pushed -- tendencies pushed people to far left extremism or activism. we had a professor of philosophy on the couch earlier, a fascinating conversation. here's part of what he said about the study. >> one of the most striking features of our civilization today is that people aren't doing what people have always done. which is marrying and having children and being committed to

each other over a long period of time. there's this deep fear that commitment will limit my freedom, my freedom always to remake myself, to make myself into something new, when you get married for the long term and you have children, right, you are making a commitment to something outside of yourself. it's the opposite of being a narcissist. liberalism failed because it succeeded, because it created the kind of human beings that were no longer capable of being attached to each other. >> i really loved this conversation. rachel: i did too. >> i love the idea of narcism at the core of so much of what's wrong in modern american culture and acutely on the progressive left. i believe that to be true. so much of virtue signaling is about satisfying the self, not doing good in the world. he told us the background behind narcism, the greek idea of the character falling in love with himself, the reflection in the pond of himself. and how that boxes anything else out, possible in your life of what you can love and what you

can do because you constantly focus on yourself. rachel: including of course love and marriage. love of other people, not yourself, and you look at all kinds of studies about happiness. i've given speeches on this, happiness studies show people who are married, have children, have that kind perspective on life and of course also people with faith tend to poll with higher levels of happiness. so all of this is so interesting because politics can consume people so much that it crowds out the stuff that really makes you happy, the stuff that really matters which is your relationships with other people, your friends, your family, your spouse, your children, that's what really matters. >> politics is often something you can yell about a lot but you can't really affect that much change on it but you can affect who you love and the lives you shape and your relationship with god and your community and your neighbors, fulfilling things that aren't always easy but they

are meaningful. that professor gives us some hope, like smart guys like that standing up boldly at major universities, a lot of them are lost but he's speaking a lot of truth in a place where not a lot of truth is spoken which makes it very powerful. rachel: you've got a call -- it's officially called a butt dial from congressman sean duffy. >> in the middle of the sound bite, i got a call from congressman sean duffy. rachel: i call him the honorable. >> at home. rachel: right. i'm going to testimony you this, what he said, speaking back and the truth on what the professor said, we want to change america, fix your family. fix your family. consistent trail on your family. -- concentrate on your family. that's what you can control. >> that's right. 17 minutes after the top of the 9:00 hour. so we'll turn to headlines. the suspect accused of shooting and killing a west virginia state trooper is in custody

following an intense manhunt. police say the suspect opened fire on officers responding to reports of a shooting friday. he was taken into custody later that night when stopped in a stolen car at a police checkpoint. he's been charged with first degree murder and is held without bond. sergeant corey maynard was transported to the hospital where he passed away from his injuries. rest in peace. joe biden signed the bipartisan debt ceiling bill into law yesterday while he was awake. it avoids what could have been a catastrophic government default. joe biden touting the deal for reducing the deficit, safeguards something something, medicare, medicaid and support for veterans even though he is cratering the va which is another story we'll talk more about, getting rid of accountability and choice but it's all about the vets, yeah. comes after a months long battle with house speaker kevin mccarthy and republicans. and where's the pink? the barbie movie causing an

international shortage of the iconic color. what? rachel: yes. >> producers reveal it was difficult to find the perfect shade to paint the props and set in order to make the barbie world come to life. as a result, the film led to a shortage of their brand of pink with the director saying, quote, the world ran out of pink. the movie set. you never think about that. rachel: yeah. >> how do they paint the whole set? there's not that much pink in stock. not everyone -- rachel: it's a very specific barbie pink. if you're a girl or you think you're a girl and you like barbies -- [laughter] rachel: you know that pink and that pink is very specific. >> my daughter's bedroom, bathroom, pink. barbie pink. rachel: i love barbie pink. >> movie is set to hit theaters july 12 21st. are they going to play politics with the barbie movie.

rachel: i don't know. i'm looking forward to the movie. i'm sure it will be full of stuff. >> i'm going to say no. rachel: i'm going to take a bet that you don't watch the barbie movie. >> we'll take your word for it. rachel: he might. >> i'll definitely watch it. tape my eyelids open. daddy, were you watching. yes. rachel: i'm definitely watching. i have a barbie book. all my kids love -- i have stacks of barbies everywhere. we love barbie. all right. still ahead, ac actor shi a lf new movie is out now. he said it inspired him to become catholic. we'll have more coming up. ♪ the way you hold me, hold me, hold me, feels so holy. ♪ i don't do well with the drama. ♪ 3 ou t of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months.

rachel: actor shia labeouf taking a leap of faith in a new film out this weekend. he plays the legendary catholic saint, the actor was so inspired by the late priest he is now in the final steps of joining the catholic church. he even lived with the monastery franciscan f friars while

preparing for the rule. here to discuss, fox news chief correspondent lauren green. >> this is quite a story, of shia labeouf. rachel: first, for those who don't know who father pedro is. >> he's one of the great saints of the catholic church. he's a 20th century saint. he was sainted in 2002 although the beatification was in the 1900s. he could bilocate, be in two places at once, he had prophecy and the stigmata, it continued for 50 years. rachel: that means he's got the wounds of jesus. >> the wounds of christ as he was on the cross. it's a miracle in itself. one of the miracle, one of the gifts he had was for conversion, for reading souls, for healing spiritually. that's what happened to shia labeouf. rachel: it's an amazing story. a lot of people had written off

this young actor because he had -- he seemed like he was having mental illness. >> he burned bridges. his mother wasn't talking to him. that's bad. rachel: and here he is, coming back to the faith and actually having a conversion to the catholic faith. an amazing story. the trailer looks amazing. if you haven't seen it, you should watch the trailer. i think it will make you want to watch the movie. we're going to move to another topic which is benjamin hall and his faith following what happened to him in azythromycin this is an amazing story. you talked about benjamin hall's miraculous survival, covering the war in ukraine for fox news channel. he was critically injured in a car that suffered a bomb blast. four other people died and he survived. it's in his book where he's almost dazed from the second bomb and sees his daughter and he hears her say daddy, you've got to get out of the car. that was an angel.

what we know about angels is that they can appear to us in many different forms. i did a podcast with a scientist talking about what angels are, that they operate in dimensions that we can't access but they're there and god brings an angel to us in the form that we will accept and we will respond to. rachel: listen to a little bit of you're interview with him. >> sure. >> i think back to when i was sitting there, lying there that day and i wondered so many times, every day i think about what it was that saved me, was it a miracle? how did god come and save me that day? my understanding of religion, of god, of faith has sort of changed so much. this has really added a whole new dimension that i'm so grateful for. rachel: yeah. it's such a remarkable -- by the way, i'm going to be listening to that podcast about the angels that you have. any last thoughts on this, on your interview with benjamin hall? >> the part is that he studied

catholicism. he went to a catholic boarding school when he was young. he thought about joining the priesthood. rachel: i heard that. >> his conversion, he had a new relationship with god that he didn't have before. there was no survivor guilt. he said i'm just incredibly grateful. we will not know why he was saved and four others died on this side of eternity. we will no later. for right now, he's just grateful. rachel: yeah. when i interviewed him, he had just come from lighting a candle at saint patrick's cathedral. we were all praying for him and our prayers were answered. >> absolutely. rachel: you can listen to lauren green's podcast, light house of faith, i'm going to listen to that one about angels for sure. lauren, always so nice having you on. >> thank you so much. rachel: two great stories. love it. coming up, california lawmakers

will sign it into law. our next guest broke the story. joining me now is the washington free beacon reporter, susanna luthi. you broke the story. it's incredibly shocking. unemployment benefits for illegal immigrants, help me understand. >> yes, this is a measure that's kind of in line with california's push on illegal immigration, governor gavin newsom declared california to be a sanctuary state when he was inaugurated. california already supplies free medical insurance, medicaid to illegal immigrants as well as driver's licenses. so this is the latest turn in this story and, yeah, as you said, it's $300 a week for up to 20 weeks. and state officials would not be allowed to contact former employers to validate their

status as employees. it would be completely self-attested. and you know, immigrants could use bus passes patterns of toll, toll payments, et cetera, to prove their employment. >> here's what california democrats are saying to their rational to justify the program, they're saying due to historically racial exclusion, many of california's most vol vulnerable workers are entirely excluded from the program. tell this how it would work. you mentioned you don't have -- they're not allowed to call your prior employers, they're not really allowed to ask about your status or social security number, you said self attestation. an illegal immigrant goes in, crosses illegally, goes into california and does what to begin receiving $300 a week? >> so they have to attest that they have earned at least $1,300

in the past three months or worked 93 hours in the past three months. and then they have kind of a series, a checklist of documents that they can st send to the ste to start collecting. this comes of course after the agency that would be in charge of the sending the checks, the state labor agency, called the employment development department, it was formerly run by president biden's n nominee o belabor secretary for the fed. under her leadership during the pandemic the agency was defrauded an estimated $31 billion. the unemployment fund was actually a $20 billion hole right now that california businesses are on the hook for covering. so all of that is also added context for this and the state would have to pay considerable amount of money according to

analysts to get the agency ready to deal with potential fraud. >> so the agency in and of itself is at $20 billion deficit. the state is in a $32 billion deficit. and this particular program has been defrauded by what was it 31 -- what did you say? >> 31 billion. >> the billions are hard to keep up with. let's expand it to people who got into the country illegally. just absolutely a model, model of competence in california. thank you for breaking the story and sharing it with us this morning on "fox & friends." >> thank you. >> still ahead, major companies are taking pride in their pride month support but only in america. turns out their rainbow logos are missing from their middle east pages. maria bartiromo on the corporate hypocrisy. plus, cocaine in a hot dog? a sonic employee's arrested after he allegedly lost the drugs in a customer's order. i've got to hear about this. that's next.

♪ it's a man's world. ♪ but it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman. ♪

rachel: we are back with some headlines starting with this, an employee at sonic drive-in restaurant is arrested after he allegedly locked his bag of cocaine in a customer's hot dog. police say a woman bit into her food and realized she bit into a

plastic bag. authorities tested the powdered substance and realized it was cocaine. that woman does not believe she consumed any of the drug. the employee is charged with possession of a controlled substance. beach goers beware, clinging jelly fish native to the pacific ocean have been spotted on the jersey shore. a marine biologist spotted the invasive species last month of he says the jelly fish live in shallow water and are about the size of a quarter but their stings are powerful enough to send victims to the hospital. and in the usfl, the birmingham stallions make a comeback to take down the philadelphia stars at home. >> towards the end zone and he is caught for the touchdown. rachel: birmingham improved its word to 6-2 with the win.

rach. i'm excited to be with you all this morning. pete: for sure. we always love having you. but this doesn't surprise you, doedoes it, they would change wt they do. maria: there are so many hip hypocrisies when it comes to corporate america. this is particularly disturbing. most people in america want to be respected. we all want to be respected, p homosexual, heterosexual, transgender, we want to be respected. that's what's behind the programs in corporate america, celebrating pride month. if you're that interested and supportive of pride month, why isn't it happening in middle eastern countries. certain countries will jail you if they find out you're homosexual and there's no reason you should side step this and step away from it. take it on. don't do business there if it's against your principles. take your business out of those

countries that are being harsh against one segment of the population because, again, we all want to be respected. and don't have these hypocrisies telling us that you're all for the homosexual community, unless you're in the middle east or you're all for women unless you find out that woman is conservative. please. don't go there. because we all see it. it's in black and white in front of us. we're going to talk a bit about this morning. we have a big show, breaking news coming p. i've got the speaker of the house kevin mccarthy to defend what some are criticizing this debt deal, some republicans who voted against it by all accounts this was a huge victory for the speaker of the house, kevin mccarthy. having been able to wrangle president biden into admitting that spending cuts are on the table and will happen. but we're going to walk through some of the criticisms from republicans, why are more democrats voting for this than republicans. senator mike lee is one of those people who voted against it as is representative anna paulina

luna. we'll get into a real conversation about what this looks like going forward. the speaker will walk us through what's next after he had this huge victory and saw his approval ratings soar. then it is 2024, the election is on. we have three names coming into the race in the coming week. we're going to look at the polls, president trump in the lead by a wide margin. we'll talk with former speaker of the house, newt gingrich and robert cahaly about who will be on the stage in august. it will be an exciting year ahead. we'll get into it this morning, pete. pete: we'll pass the baton proudly to you in about 13 minutes. maria: thank you. we'll see you then. pete: up next, you better be leave we're celebrating national cheese day this morning. our cheesy celebration, just
