(female announcer) no matter where you are on your pregnancy journey... keep pushing. your fetus is doing great. you want to feel the fetus kick? um, it's a baby. (announcer) it's still a baby. ♪ >> brian: begin with the fox news alert, oxygen supply in the missing titanic submersible is likely all gone, or close to 0. >> ainsley: the coast guard is not giving up the rescue mission. as a french deep sea robot and another canadian vessel are joining the search and todd joins us live with the details. >> the coast guard leading the international effort to find the five passengers on board, despite calculations that the oxygen supply has run out. coast guard confirming a canadian rov has reached the sea floor, also joined by a french

deep sea robot. right now, officials are unsure if those reported underwater banking noises we reported n were a sign of life. >> with respect to the noises specifically, we don't know what they are to be frank with you. but i can tell you that it's is not sure. >> obviously we have a bunch of people over there, a bunch of nations looking for them, the coast guard has a bunch of cutters out there. i think recovering it will be easy. finding it is the problem. my guess is that the stress levels are pretty high in there, as the oxygen depletes, their functionality is going to decrease. so i mean, i can't think of a more miserable death, personally.

>> we are also learning more about the history of oceangate expeditions, technical issues on six prior trips. one passenger claiming he was on the submersible and lost contact two hours, forcing an early end to the journey. and 2018 safety report detailing safety concerns, whether it met industry safety standards, claiming the company had an experimental approach to its expeditions. one former employee even saying he was wrongfully terminated for calling out safety concerns and calling for more safety checks. >> brian: another fox news alert, moscow court rejecting evan gershkovich appeal to be released ahead of his trial. the wall street journal reporting spoke to his parents who were in attendance at the hearing. he's held on espionage charges after being arrested in russia in march. >> ainsley: he and the wall street journal strongly deny the claims. the u.s. government claims he is

wrongfully detained and demanding his immediate release. >> brian: everybody knows he's not a spy. >> pete: exactly right. staggering to see someone who everyone knows is a journalist behind that glass barricade, seen as a bargaining chip. you can't -- you are not allowed to do journalism in vladimir putin's russia, especially if you say anything that is not part of the official narrative. he will not -- he obviously did not win this appeal and likely won't soon. brian, as you pointed out, it would have to be a trade, trade that moscow is willing to make. >> ainsley: our thoughts and prayers are with him. we work for the same parent company, there are pictures around fox so we remember him and we continue to tell the story. he was over there as a journalist for the wall street journal. he speaks russian, he was from i think the pennsylvania area in the u.s., but his parents are russian. and so he was over there covering this country that he

loves, that he's connected to, and he ransom sort of a story, it was a negative story, right -- >> brian: a real story about the economy. the russians view it as negative. but said after a year in, the s sanctions are taking a toll on the russian life, and the next day he was picked up at a restaurant. probably linked. and some of the testimony on capitol hill, one of which was on transgenders competing women, excuse me, men who want to be women competing against women in women's sports. it seems ridiculous. riley gaines thinks it's ridiculous. competing against lia thomas at the university of pennsylvania. the whole school basically told the team don't say anything, she would not listen, she got beat by lia thomas for the ncaa championship and went to capitol hill to make sure transgender athletes don't ruin women's

sports. >> in addition to being forced to give up our awards and our titles and our opportunities, ncaa forced me and my female swimmers to share a locker room with thomas. 6'4", 22-year-old male equipped with and exposing male genitalia. let me be clear about this. we were not forewarned we would be sharing a locker room. we did not give our consent, no one asked for consent. and swimming locker room is not a place of modesty. i hope you can see it's a violation of our right to privacy and how some of us have felt uncomfortable, embarrassed, and even traumatized by this experience. >> ainsley: riley gaines, we were watching the testimony yesterday and saw you get upset and hear the specifics as a mother of a young girl, you

know, i love everybody, this is america, you can choose what you want to do at a certain age in your life but i don't want her in a dressing room with someone who has biological male parts in dressing in front of her. i'm sure your parents feel the same way. you clearly do. what did the school say when you complained about it. >> the school, what the ncaa said, the rationale behind the arrangement, i walked out of the locker room and i asked one of the officials on the pool deck and said what are the guidelines that allowed this man into our locker room and so nonchalantly he said oh, we got around this by making locker rooms unisex, i'm thinking to myself in these moments of him saying this, first and foremost, he just admitted this is a man by acknowledging how he had to change the rules to allow him into our locker rooms and secondly, unisex? so any man could have walked into that locker room, any coach, any official, any parent, any pervert who wanted to walk into that locker room would have

had full access to and bare minimum, we were not told this was the arrangement, that's what they were doing, how they were trying to normalize the situation and make us feel guilty when we felt uncomfortable. >> pete: riley, you have handled the spotlight incredibly well, you did not set out to be an activist on this, you were willing to speak up. testimony comes as the biden administration is considering more regulations around transgender inclusion in sports, in high schools and middle schools as well. could this be something that more americans experience? you are at the front lines of this, people say it's collegiate athletes, one sport, how much further could these policies go of men in women's sports? >> to believe it's a nonissue or to believe it's only happening in a certain area could not be further from the truth. and i know this because i get the messages. i get the dms from parents in

tears because they are watching their daughter get sidelined or injured in their sport. and the messages from female athletes across the country, all sports, all levels, every single state, letting me know my story is not unique. same thing in bathrooms, whether it's ymcas, school bathrooms, and coaches feel silenced don't know how to properly stand up for their athletes, it's plaguing this country and bigger than the fairness. it is about the freedom of speech piece. seems i'm a lone voice fighting for this until recently when some amazing girls have stood by my side. i'm the megaphone for so many who are terrified. >> brian: megan rapinoe, alex morgan, they have no problem. what's your message to them? >> message to them, of course they are done playing, of course they don't have daughters to defend, it's virtue signalling. they want to be seen as kind, seen as inclusive but they know in their hearts, every single

person knows, they would not have had the opportunities and the success they had without the women sported category. now they have achieved what they have achieved, they have adom accomplished what they wanted to accomplish, they don't care, they would rather give girls up and give away our opportunities to be seen as kind and inclusive. whether it's reality, it's ex inclusive. >> brian: she put dental school on hold, riley, great job yesterday. thanks so much. >> ainsley: and talked about how her husband is a swimmer at the university of kentucky, and she has more accolades than him or won more medals, he could still kick her tail, and serena williams, and she played like 200th -- >> brian: the 200th man and lost. that's a fact, even though she's the best that ever was for

women. one of the presidential candidates -- you know, i'll do it in a second, just getting out of the shower. ready to go in a second. >> ainsley: getting mic'd up. democracy 2024. we'll play some sound bites of different presidential candidates that have been on fox talking about democrats, biden and even going after trump. listen. >> brian: you put that together so quick. >> president xi is the strongest, most powerful dictator that china has had in decades, trust me, there is no way he doesn't know what's going on all the time everywhere. it is incredibly naive for biden to think that and makes me question his mental capacity that much more. >> china understands the language of strength and i think what joe biden has done since his first day in office, he's projected weakness, a lot of bad actors around the world see that, and that wets their appetite to be able to do things that are going to be very

harmful for the world. >> brian: wow, so that's a little of i think the major issue facing the foreign policy outside ukraine is i think you agree is china. any candidate that wants to be president has to have a position on china. >> ainsley: let's bring in mr. suarez, and your parents are from cuba, and china has -- >> i've been talking about since the july 11th protest a couple years ago, cuba is threatened into now a national security threat. not just the spy bases but talking about training bases as well. you know, china is all over the hemisphere, we are giving them a trillion dollars of our wealth in the form of our trade deficit and the stealing of our i.p. and they are taking the money and using it in our own hemisphere to subvert us. the problematic countries before were cuba, nicaragua, venezuela, now left of center governments

in mexico, in colombia, in brazil, in argentina, in chile, bolivia. this is getting out of control. the biden administration does not have a coherent policy to deal with it, nothing to confront china. obviously secretary of state blinken just went and said taiwan is a part of china and a territory of china. you know, they are building 90% of our semiconductors in taiwan. that is the chips that we use for our tablets, for our phones, for our defense systems, i mean, this is a major problem for the united states of america and one that a suarez president will confront. >> brian: they are a superpower, military base, and they say well, you have a military presence in taiwan and that's 90 miles off our coast. what are you going to do about it, america. >> you have to start immediately. multi-facetted approach. we have to compete with them, stop giving them a trillion dollars of our money.

>> brian: decouple. >> decouple at a grand scale. use the money not only to reinforce america's economy, but of course create friendsships in our hemisphere. ten countries we are losing in our own hemisphere and what happens when you lose the country, creates more immigration pressure on the country. venezuela, they have lost a fourth of their population, a large percentage of their gdp. 90% are living below the poverty level. guess where you are going to want to go, to the most prosperous country on the planet, the united states of america. >> ainsley: pete, you have a que question. >> pete: former texas congressman will herd has announced he's running for president and as a republican. so congressman will herd joining the race. it's a good segue into the question i had, how do you break

out in this race, you got in a little later, donald trump remains a very sizeable lead, the conversation nationally is about what was done to him with john durham. how do you crack out of that? >> well, i think it's in disputeable the former president is in the poll position and either the former president or someone else, which is obvious. and i would rather be a bit unknown and exciting than well-known and unexciting and i think what's happening right now, the other candidates, many have been in the field a long time, have just failed to get lift. you know, i want to be defined by what i'm for, not what i'm against. i have a clear agenda, a clear vision for the country that's positive, aspirational and unifying, i've done it in my city, elected by 80%, and five years i've been mayor has turned to be a plus 10 for republicans, 40 point swing which means i can bring in new voters to the

republican party, whether they be hispanics, young voters biden won by 26 points or people in urban america that should be voting republican. we have built a successful republican-based city in america which is just by keeping taxes low, keeping people safe and innovation. simple formula for success. >> ainsley: number one issue if you ask most americans is inflation, people cannot afford their bills. >> we have to balance the budget. run away fiscal spending is creating inflation, high interest rates, and biden's america the poor get poorer. democrats are the ones that supposed to care about the poor and it's getting worse. cities, states, we have to balance our budgets. >> brian: you have the most expensive housing market in the country in miami. >> that's what happens when you have demands. everybody wants to come there. but we built -- listen, i believe in the carrot approach, not the stick approach. we built 1 billion, $100 million

of affordable housing in the last 24 months, only $50 million in city investment. a one in 20 leverage rate. that's the way to do it, created 3500 units. we are going to invest another $50 million now and expand some other organizations we could invest more, we are number one in wage growth, lowest unemployment in america, number one in tech job growth and messi is coming to miami. >> brian: pete, you have to be nice to the mayor. >> we are winning the worldwide competition for people who can live anywhere and offered tremendous amounts of money. they want continue miami, the best quality of life and export that across the country and will. >> brian: and gave him a piece of the team. >> they gave him a lot of stuff. >> ainsley: so pete, you and brian can hang out with messi,

carly and i will hang out with beckham. over to carly. >> carly: i think hang out with both. i'm glad you got the serious stuff on record. the mayor and i behind the scenes, we talked florida politics but also asked his favorite restaurants in miami. very important question, he gave me some very good recommendations. >> i don't want to upset anybody. >> carly: very important news to get to, hunter biden, he is set to appear in court again next month after agreeing to plead guilty for two misdemeanor charges for failing to pay his taxes. and also striking a deal with the doj to enter a diversion program to resolve a felony gun charge. a deal some republicans say was only made because of hunter biden's last name. >> anyone else in america whose last name is not biden or clinton would have gone to jail, and 3 or 4 years ago. doj, irs, none of those government agencies have looked into anything with the bidens. and they hope to run out the statute of limitations so this would just go away.

>> carly: a federal judge will decide whether to accept the plea deal on july 26th. a mother in portland stumbles upon several ounces of fentanyl at a local park. the drugs were discovered in multiple bags in powder and pill form. residents in the area say they have had to tell their kids to avoid needles, orange caps and baggies. officers say they are investigating the matter. wow. and to soccer we go. the u.s. women's national team releases the official roster for the 2023 world cup. superstar striker alex morgan returning for her fourth world cup tournament. she los angeles joined by trinity rodman, and 18-year-old alissa thompson in attack. tune into fox and fox sports 1 for the action when the tournament kicks off july 20th. >> brian: on fox too.

>> carly: i said fox. >> brian: do you understand what tomorrow is, pete? >> pete: yeah, i'm told it's friday, so if it's friday, it's the summer concert series, and it continues with a great one. tyler farr is going to take the stage. phenomenal. >> ainsley: guy walks into a bar and the whiskey and water song. >> brian: finally a country song with whiskey in it. >> ainsley: and a bar. now we need the bible. >> brian: register for vip access and feed you for free. but bring your own floss. it's very hard to eat the meat and not -- bring your own floss. pete, you are not going anywhere, right? >> ainsley: no, it's 8:19, he's with us for the whole show. >> pete: i'll be here, whatever you need. >> brian: still to come, in the

>> brian: nation's report card is out, it's not good. here is what's going on. first off, i'm a professor in this situation, and i'm going to

give america right now an f. our kids have been failed by our schools, institutions by the pandemic. what have you, we are falling behind. and you can thank the pandemic but actually heading in the wrong direction prior to the pandemic. let's take a look at the average scores right now. check it out. 271 is the average out of 500 points, down 9 from 2020. lowest since 1990. that's math. in reading, down four points to 256 out of 500, lowest was 2004. if this is not indicative of a crisis, i don't know what is. pandemic or not, it's been over for about a year. we have to make some adjustments. one of those adjustments might be school choice, for example, and let's bring in one of those people who are fighting for that on a daily basis. let's get some reaction from the ceo of trip scott law firm and school choice expert, ed, great to see you again. your thoughts. >> hey, brian, how are you. >> brian: your thoughts about those failing grades. >> well, look, the fact that middle schoolers reading and

math scores are plummeting is no surprise. we just came out of a pandemic, we lost valuable learning time which students during the pandemic somewhere between 6 to 12 months, depending who they are. but bottom line is that you know, covid is over, but let's focus on who it really impacted. it impacted every student but in a disproportionate way. those who are economically disadvantaged actually lost more time than 6 to 12 months. it's a crisis, brian. >> brian: places like the huntington learning center and others who want or need extra help. it's going to be more work, whether you are extending the school year, the school day, or changing school, something has to change. what about vouchers to get them to the extra learning centers to catch them up. what about giving kids the choice because the school is failing them. >> well, in florida, i'll give you an example. in florida, we opened up the

idea of opportunity scholarships for students, every student basically in florida can now take an $8,000 voucher and go to a private school that is participating in the program. we have a robust charter school network here in florida as well. school choice is here to stay. in fact, let's talk about the bigger issue, though. parents should be in charge of their child's education, not bureaucrats and the government. that's really the key here. the other part that i want to make here is that there's little celebration over hard work and achievement of students. we need to focus back on celebrating achievement and hard work. as an opposed to wasting more time in a certain sense in celebrating this month or that month, whether that's based upon race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, all that is a distraction. teachers only have students for certain defined time and when we waste time, frankly, on stuff that is distracting our students

from learning reading, writing and mathematic, it becomes -- it's reflected in some of these test scores. >> brian: you might have to change your state, iowa, texas, oklahoma, more and more states are saying i'm going to give the kids a choice but makes the public schools better, they are in competition to keep your kid. final thought. >> brian, you make a great point. competition is really the way to raise -- that rises all boats, high tide rises all boats. there's a charter school in just in west broeer here, one of the best high schools in the state and forced the local school district to raise their high schools in the same area. competition is a great tonic and we have seen it work here and betterment not just for the kids who went to the charter school but the students who went to the

traditional school. >> brian: check out a stanford study, charter schools get better results across the board and minority kids benefit the most. edward, thanks so much. still ahead, john durham's eye opening testimony in the fbi failure in the trump russia probe. senator ted cruz on the fiery hearing next. with type 2 diabetes you have up to 4 times greater risk of stroke, heart attack, or death. even at your a1c goal, you're still at risk ...which if ignored could bring you here... ...may put you in one of those... ...or even worse. too much? that's the point. get real about your risks and do something about it. talk to your health care provider about ways to lower your risk of stroke, heart attack, or death. learn more at getrealaboutdiabetes.com

>> back with a fox weather alert, four people now dead and at least ten injured after a tornado tore through the small town of matador, texas, and in colorado, 90 people were hurt after a hailstorm during the famed red rocks during a show. and the eastern caribbean, check in for the fox weather forecast. >> another tragic night in texas, and tornadoes and severe weather, hail and flash flooding. the storm reports, we have had an incredibly active season in terms of severe weather and also the heat across texas. so, 97 mile per hour wind yesterday, strongest wind gust since 1969. airport also hitting 100°, and parts of texas are feeling the heat.

150° in del rio, the highest temperature ever recorded, and that is going to be ongoing for the next several days. we have already had several weeks of this and the weather pattern stays the same. severe weather across the rockies and the plains state. florida, mid atlantic and northeast, heavy rainfall, potential for flooding through the weekend. this is tropical storm bret, 70 mile per hour sustained winds, 74 makes it a hurricane. moving out of the caribbean. good news is the storm is going to weaken. look at the record highs on sunday for texas. this is a couple days more of this incredible heat and we talked about del rio. san angelo, texas, 114, highest ever reported there. if you have a flight today or tomorrow, lingering showers and storms in the area saturday and sunday and this is kind of the weather pattern for the next

week and a half. so, this is kind of going to be the story, the heat wave, though, is something we are going to focus on. what we have to have the criteria of normally hot weather for at least two days. this has been two weeks in texas. so, heat-related illness is more likely, take care of the elderly and the kids, and brings the pets inside. fox weather will keep you posted and we will do that here on "fox and friends" into the weekend. over to you, brian, ainsley. >> ainsley: fox news alert, former texas congressman will herd files his paperwork to run for president as a republican. herd making the announcement on cbs in the last hour. >> i filed to be the republican nominee for president of the united states. this is a decision that my wife and i decided to do because we live in complicated times and we need common sense. i believe the republican party

can be the party that talks about the future, not the past. we should be putting out a vision of how do we have unprecedented peace, how do we have a thriving economy, make sure our kids have a world class education. >> brian: so there he is, the 12th candidate to throw his name in the ring, i counted 13, he joins a crowded field. headlined by donald trump, 21 point lead over ron desantis, chris christie was just in, he joined us earlier, so he has the cia background, a border state, and a.i. expert so he's worked as a cia-a.i., and knows immigration and for the most part he agrees with president trump a lot, ainsley, but when it comes to these documents and top-secret, i know that's where the rubber hit the road between them. >> ainsley: when i read he was a former cia agent nine years, he

went to afghanistan and pakistan to serve our country and the background as a congressman, in congress from 2015 to 2021, the district was san antonio to el paso. he knows about the border, the law and he was a cia agent and we need to clean up the doj and knows about the economy and his father is black, his mother is white, and he represents a hispanic community. >> brian: take a look at the wall. diversity. mayor suarez joined us from cuban descent, and tim scott, african american from south carolina, and then you have nikki haley, parents hailed from india, and then you have vivek ramaswamy, parents from india, and then larry elder, african american, so you have -- not -- you pick the best person but anybody looks at republicans and says where is the diversity, there it is. it's on the wall. we were up to 17 last time, we are getting close. there's a lot of people and of course we had the debate on august 23rd.

>> ainsley: ted cruz is here to react on this. congressman will hurd running for president. >> a lot of folks want to jump into the race, i'm confident the primary voters will select the best candidate. >> brian: it's trump to lose. is trump your pick, senator? >> i'm staying out of it. a lot of good candidates are running. i think this race is basically a two-man race between trump and desantis. both have a lot of supporters and i expect a vigorous series of debates and ultimately the voters will make the decision and whoever the nominee is i will support enthusiastically, i am good friends with both trump and desantis, worked closely with both of them, and i think the voters will give us a good choice. >> ainsley: yesterday we were glued to the tv watching the durham reporter, durham facing our lawmakers and just mouths dropping as we are learning that

people were notified within the doj, within the fbi, within the cia and it was ignored that hillary clinton had that plan to link donald trump to russia, proven through this report to be bogus. what is your reaction? >> i think it is absolutely disgraceful what happened and the degree to which the deep state targeted donald trump. as you know, the last book i wrote is called "justice corrupted, how the left has weaponized our legal system" and it walks through first how under obama, obama put hard partisans in the department of justice and the fbi and the irs and they weaponized the legal system to go after their enemies. then as obama was leaving those hard partisans, they boroughed into senior positions and during trump presidency they waged war against donald trump in a way that is utterly unprecedented. they wanted to destroy his presidency, they hated the

american people for electing him, and now with joe biden as president, these partisans are out in the open, they are brazen, this department of justice, the biden department of justice is the most partisan department of justice in our nation's history. this indictment of donald trump is shameful but it's the latest example of joe biden and the biden doj weaponizing the legal system, not to enforce the law but instead to attack their political enemies. >> brian: and they knew about it, put up this lark, poisoned relations between the u.s. and russia. and senator cruz, kate's law, terror watch list, what should we keep in mind -- look at this. i don't know if you can see the monitor there, but so far to date, 125 from the terror watch list have been captured at the border. >> look, it is stunning and it

is incredibly dangerous. i spent a lot of time at the southern border, spent a lot of time with our border patrol agents. it's never been remotely this bad. this is an invasion. 6.6 million people across illegally under joe biden, worst in history. today i reintroduced kate's law. named for kate steinly, the beautiful young woman in california shot and killed on a pier on the california coast and she was killed by an illegal immigrant who had entered the country over and over and over again illegally who had criminal convictions over and over and over again and yet the system kept letting her go, and kate's law provides if someone has multiple convictions or aggravated felony and they enter the country again illegally they face a mandatory minimum prison sentence. and i got to tell you, every single time i forced a vote on kate's law in the senate floor, the senate democrats line up party line to block it.

because you got to understand, they don't just support illegal immigration, they support illegal immigration of violent murderers, that's what kate's law is targeted and you talked about the terror watch list. go all the way back, fiscal year 2017, 2 people on the terror watch list crossed illegally. 2018, 6 crossed illegally. am fiscal year 19, 0 crossed illegally. fiscal year 2020, 3 people crossed illegally. fiscal year 2021, what happens then, joe biden becomes president. fiscal year 2021, 15 people. fiscal year 2022, 98 people, and fiscal year 2023, 125 people on the terror watch list. your children, my children, our families are less safe because joe biden is president. >> brian: right. senator ted cruz, you are used to hosting, you have the

podcast, you are rolling, you have your stats. fox news alert, oxygen supply in the missing titanic submersible, likely gone, close to 0. our next guest has been on the vessel, and friends with some of the passengers on board. narrator: the man with the troublesome hemorrhoid enters the room. phil: excuse me? hillary: that wasn't me. narrator: said hillary, who's only taken 347 steps today. hillary: i cycled here. narrator: speaking of cycles, mary's period is due to start in three days. mary: how do they know so much about us?
