>> alexandria: here is president biden during his bilateral with lithuania's president a short time ago. just listen. >> president biden: we take, nato takes, we all take article five literally, all work together against whomever is violating that space. thank you, mr. president, for hosting this summit. first time nato leaders will meet, 31 together and looking forward to 32 members. >> alexandria: inclusion of finland earlier this year and now sweden, nato's nation offer increased security, particularly in the baltic sea. the president is now heading to the nato annual summit, where support for ukraine will be top of discussion. ukraine long sought entry to nato will likely be discussed,

something president biden has been vocal in reluctance to allow, a position republican senator mike rounds agrees with. >> nato require we defend one another, sending our young men and women into harm's way. with ongoing conflict, this is not the right time to allow ukraine to join nato. >> the two-day summit will serve as a venue for president biden to defend his decision to supply forces with cluster bombs, two thirds of nato nation banned their use because of how munitions can prove deadly years after a conflict is over. in washington, there has been bipartisan pushback, as well. >> we have opportunity to stand against the warmongering bidens. cluster bombs will not end the war in ukraine.

cluster bombs are features of the world's bloodiest and most inhumane wars. some of the longest. >> alexandria: strong words. president biden defended the move saying their forces run low on ammunition. >> carley: we appreciate this. this after president biden visit with king charles yesterday. this moment has gone viral after the president is ushered away from the soldiers and president biden reluctant to end conversation grabs majesty seven times. some quick to point out this is not the first time the president needed a handler, one tweeting t the optics are horrible for biden. i have noticed little moments

get all the attention. president biden fist bumped solomon. and -- subservant and breach of protocol international news and now the president talking to guards that can't talk back. >> todd: this is the latest episode of apparent confusion, becoming more and more prevalent. we are past the point of humor on this. each display is death by a thousand cuts when it comes to how the world perceives american leadership and american strength. >> carley: started with the easter bunny ushering him away. i was reading how people in london view president biden being there and according to nile gardener, not everybody is a fan of president biden and a

lot has to do with his stand on brexits and the biden administration is opposite of their thought on sweden. >> todd: to a fox weather alert. new england bracing for potentially life-threatening flash flooding today. officials said entire summer worth of rain fell on the northeast in just hours yesterday. president biden approving declaration for vermont, which saw this. catastrophic flooding. flood waters pouring over the dam of the river. the state has not seen this much damage since hurricane irene in 2011. >> carley: unbelievable. powerful flood water downing roads in connecticut, forcing

rescues. janice, wow. >> janice: this is a good example, it doesn't take a tropical system to cause incredible damage thchl is historic for parts of new england. look at totals. it says past 24 hours, a lot of the rainfall came in just a couple of hours, looking at vermont and new hampshire today. the worst is moving northward into canada and maine. we have potential for flooding and actually have a flood watch here, a flood warning for parts of new hampshire and that is ongoing throughout the day today. the threat is not over yet. tomorrow better conditions. sometimes the rivers rise and haven't crested yet and see potential for more damage today. speaking of river flooding in parts of vermont, we have got major flooding. they have never seen this type

of flooding in their lifetime in parts of vermont. this river crested at 20.88 feet, a record for them, never happened before. all of this water has no place to go and we are seeing the images we saw just a few moments ago in vermont and new hampshire and for some cameras, we can't get in there. this is a life-threatening event for the next 24 to 48 hours and we need rescue crews to get in to help people. potential for strong to severe thunderstorms for the plains and the heat remains relentless for the southwest and texas. this is still a very dangerous life-threatening event across the southwest and south when it comes to heat. >> todd: heard the new york governor say this was not 100-year storm, or 500-year

storm, it was a 1000-year storm. never happened. the entire senate will receive first ever classified briefing on the ai threat to national security. >> carley: lawmakers on both sides ready to regulate booming technology, tech policy expert is here to tell us what the first step should be. don't go anywhere.

>> carley: welcome back. the marine corps without a confirmed leader for the first time in 164 years. tuberville blocking the pentagon's new abortion policy. >> we thought this would get the attention of the secretary of defense. i told him, if you do this, i will put a hold on your admirals and generals. i didn't hear from him, he put the order through and changed it, that is unlawful you have to go through congress. we are trying to teach them you cannot legislate from the pentagon. >> carley: defense department started a program to give time off to go out of state for a procedure. the senate armed services

committee will hold a meeting for filling general milley's position -- hold out. >> todd: senators receive classified briefing today on ai and the threat it poses and how the technology can impact national security. lawmakers on both sides want something done to protect you, the american people. >> i worry about losing the advantage when it comes to artificial intelligence to china. i would not want to take steps to set us back. china and russia is racing to use artificial intelligence. >> how do we protect consumers from runaway ai? it is important to have a conversation about moral cost that will come to our kids and families. >> todd: research associate jake

denton joins me now. i am thrill the led the senate is taking this seriously and more thrilled it is bipartisan in nature. what should they focus on? >> today's brief suggest about national security, no shortage of issues when it comes to artificial intelligence and threatening national security. one of the biggest ones senators are interested in are implication of upcoming election. you will see gen jaative artificial intelligence play a pivotal role. as we begin to have this education period for our senators to get oriented on this path forward, it is important briefings cover a broad scope and go to legislative back-room discussion with information to protect consumers and american public. >> todd: it is definitely the 2024 election, in the long-term, it is china, who warned of risk

posed by advances in ai. i read that to be in like they are going to clamp down on ai and use it as national security tool for them. what do we need to do to win the ai battle against china with our national security in focus? >> right now we have a huge lead when it comes to innovation within the artificial intelligence realm. china is coming for that spot, we have to maintain that advantage that we currently have. that looks like regulating in way that protects consumers while not stifling innovation. china deploy products and take different approach in compliance with content guidelines. do not do a backstep to make up for oversight. this is about being proactive and laying foundation that enables us to proceed with

current advancement. >> todd: let's listen to chuck schumer. >> it is critical forern sas to learn about how to use ai to protect our country and how it is being used by our adversaries and what we can do to maintain our advantages. we have no time to waste. our adversaries won't wait to deploy technology against us. >> todd: it is great we are having briefings and getting on the same page, but talk without action is useless. what actionable steps need to come out of this brief something >> we need real legislation the senators can vote on. we had same types of conversations when it came to tiktok and months down the road, nothing to address national security threat and look at artificial intelligence, it will

find itself in all aspects of society and we are on trajectory to have a lofty conversation, press conferences, no meaningful legislation. we need to see them come out of that with something productive and actionable. if we follow the same tiktok trajectory, consumers will be at risk from china or rogue silicon valley tech companies. >> todd: there is concern members of congress, some may not comprehend what ai is and ramifications of it is another obstacle that needs to be overcome. jake denton, thank you. learning more about joe biden's temperament behind the scenes. >> have higher iq than you do, i suspect. >> ask the right question. >> let's do push-ups together. >> why the hell would i take a

test? >> come on, man. >> carley: we'll tell you details behind this headline beverly hallberg is on deck to react. i was told my small business wouldn't qualify for an erc tax refund. you should get a second opinion from innovation refunds at no upfront cost. sometimes you need a second opinion. [coughs] good to go. yeah, i think i'll get a second opinion. all these walls gotta go! ah ah ah! i'd love a second opinion. no. i'm going to get a second opinion. with innovation refunds, there's no upfront cost to find out. so why not check like i did for my small business? take the first step to see if your small business qualifies for the erc.

smear because we are such a threat. they are fighting the mama bears and we will prevail, nothing will get between us and our cubs. >> i was at the moms for liberty summit and the number of times people screamed at me, we're going to steal your baby, these are people positioning themselves as moral superiors. >> carley: despite protest and pushback, moms february for liberty members say they will not back down. >> todd: axios reporting biden has a quick-trigger temper some aides will not meet alone with him. how the blank don't you know this. don't blank me and get the blank out of here. that is him vowing to protect his employees. >> president biden: i'm not joking when i say this, if i hear you treat another colleague

with disrespect, talk down to someone, i promise you, i will fire you on the spot. on the spot. no, if, ands or buts. >> carley: beverly hallberg is president of district media group andin jos us now. more from the axios article. complicated picture of biden as manager and president that cultivated as kindly uncle who likes aviator sun glasses. the white house declined to comment. >> beverly: is president biden going to fire himself for his comments? this axios article interviewed aides and staff, and tried to paint a picture he is a tough boss challenging his staff. there is different in being tough and fair boss and somebody that tells you to get the blank

out of the room. a lot of us see this about age and cognitive decline and will yell at you to get off his lawn due to his age temperature is concerning. i think it is also interesting that axios and the press is starting to talk about president biden in negative light and makes you wonder if they are trying to give room for another democratic nominee to slip in. >> todd: talk about that in a moment, look back at confrontational moments first. >> great essay, more inflation, what a stupid son -- >> were you sitting there? were you involved? >> no, i wasn't. no! >> todd: these are just recent examples. i spoke with someone years ago before this iteration of president and i asked him. who is the worst person in dc, he said joe biden. really? uncle joe? this is years ago. this has been known about joe biden for sometime.

looking through the 2024 lens, is this attempt by the democrat mainstream media to get him off the ticket? >> beverly: i think it may be. they are looking at poll numbers and realizing it is not looking well for him and think they are looking as continued gaffes he makes. we have seen him on this international trip this week and he does awkward things like not knowing how to interact with the king of england, by looking up awkwardly for things in the sky. we have seen this in grandfathers and grandmothers and it concerns a lot of people temperature is one thing to keep some of this under wraps, but to the point, he will not be able to campaign from the basement, he will have to be in front of the camera. democrats are like, i'm worried, people see through this. >> carley: over the weekend,

there was a piece in the "new york times" entitled, it's seven grandkids, mr. president and criticized him for acknowledging hunter's four-year-old daughter and the ladies of "the view" defended him over this, watch this. >> this is private. i know people feel like you need to know everything, i'm sorry, you don't, you need to know do not feel almost anything. >> if it was trump that had a grandkid -- >> he probably does. >> blamed right wing for weaponizing everything related to hunter biden. >> the reason the press is covering this is to defend this child and this goes against narrative president biden used on the campaign trail that he is a family guy.

it calls into question this narrative, it doesn't seem authentic. her own father and paternal grandfather seem to want to have nothing to do with her, what does that mean for her psyche and well being? it is fair game to call them out on this, especially since president biden says family is number one to him. >> carley: dr. fauci could find himself in hot water if r.f.k. jr. finds his way to the white house, what the democratic hopefuls r said about the top doc. >> todd: not rats with wings, extra special win for blue jays first base man vlad guerrero jr.

we have all the highlights, don't go anywhere.

>> todd: fox news alert. pennsylvania state police say escaped fugitive michael burrman is liking receiving outside help in the ongoing manhunt. >> we are thoroughly investigating that with the goal of prosecuting that. >> todd: the convict was last seen thursday night. police say he climbed on top of exercise equipment and escaped through the roof using a rope made out of bed sheets. investigators warning the public he is dangerous. he is accused of murdering a woman back in may. >> carley: house republicans introducing new law aimed at election -- federal election

ballot, bar none citizens from voting and prevent mailing of unsolicited ballots to unmaintained voter roll. brian styles telling fox news, no doubt the left will try to disguise the work that we are doing. democrat presidential candidate robert f. kennedy said he would consider prosecuting dr. fauci if elected, blaming the doctor for the country's high covid-19 death toll. >> of course i would tell the attorney general to prosecute him. i think he caused a lot of injury. i think that he particularly by withholding early treatment on americans, highest death count in the world. >> carley: kennedy gains on

president biden sitting at 17% in the latest fox news poll. fauci described the candidate's growing popularity as concerning. i am listening to joe rogan's interview with r.f.k. right now, he is not -- he has legitimate concerns over big pharma nobody in the industry has been able to answer, leading to more skepticism and talks about first time he met anthony fauci in 2016 and asked fauci for studies on vaccine safety and fauci said they are coming, i'll give them to you, i don't have them now. never gave to r.f.k. jr. and he sued and i believe the nih had to admit the studies don't exist. i don't think r.f.k. jr. will be the next president, but i think getting his message out at a

time post-covid is important. >> todd: he is saying if fauci committed crime, he will prosecute. crime, you prosecute, but now it is open for discussion and he cites this stat. we have 4.2% of the world population, 16% of deaths. how does that happen? he is not saying something illegal happened, he is saying if something happened he will look into it. >> carley: there is this. >> todd: disney world crowds dwindling to 10-year low during 4th of july. travel data shows average 27-minute wait time for rides was down from 31 not ms last year and 47 minutes in 2019. sky high ticket prices and scorching temperatures were blamed. ron desantis says parents have had enough of disney's wokeness.

>> i think it is impacting parents willingness to take their kids to disney stuff. it is wrong. second of all, people aren't buying this and it is to the detriment of the company, in the best interest of disney shareholders they get refocused on previous core mission and get the woke out of there. >> todd: i think the reason wait times are down is because of all of the above, it is hot july in florida, look at prices, single day ticket $164 for animal kingdom. hollywood studio, you spend 800 for a family of four before you buy food. you have a company that has expressly stated over the course of a couple years they do not align with values of half the country. >> carley: i think it is both, the battle is in the open and disney political opinions have been made clear by the company

itself and then how expensive it is, i see parents

>> carley: 16 year old wheeler was banned from ymca after voicing concern on biological males identifying as transgender females being allowed in the locker room. her coach accused her of hate speech. wheeler and her sister and outkick podcast host riley gaines join me now.

abigail, this is a lot for a scene year old to go through. give us details. what led to you getting kicked off your swim team? >> actually when i had seen the man in my locker room, i had gone to my head coach and talked to him about my concerns and he told me that the y had been -- known about this for a while and there was nothing they could do by illinois state law and if i was uncomfortable, i could use family locker rooms or i could not change at the facility. anyways, so, when i voiced my concern several times to my head coach and ceo of the y, i was told the same thing over and over. me and one of my co-teammates

actually decided we would put informative signs up in the women's locker room to let members know what was going on and next day when we went to practice, my head coach told the girl's team there were hateful messages in the women's locker room that were considered hate speech and disrespectful. i went to my coach and gladly told him i was a part of this and he said that it was probably not the best option for me to swim with the swim team that night and the ymca staff would follow up with my family. >> carley: abigail, what did your sign say that the coach accused of being hate speech. what did the sign say in the locker room? >> mine said three quotes, one was safe sport, women's rights

and biological women only. >> carley: that is what the coach said was hate speech? >> yes. >> carley: wow, springfield ymca communications director responded to the situation and he says, there have been a variety of false statements circulated by the same individuals and this version of the story that the swimmer was removed from the y is false, she left the swim team and ymca on her own, is that true? >> no, it is not. >> carley: very interesting. katelyn, you are abigail's sister and you swam at the university with riley gaines and been in the locker room with lia thomas. what is your overall message this morning? >> that is correct.

shout out to riley, hello. hi from afar, it is good to be with you and thank you for having us and hearing our story. i want to start off by saying how proud i am of abigail for speaking out about this. i try to picture myself at 16 years old and i can't imagine at haage. about me, yes, i swam in college, i was teammates with riley and just retired three months ago. i was at the division i meet where thomas was allowed to compete and change in the same locker room as many women and myself were forced to do. it's been, you know, infuriating to hear after going through the experience i went through, now my little sister is having to go

through the same thing and when she stands up for what is happening, she is forced out of her swim team and banned from the ymca, of all places. it is crazy we're having this conversation, i can't know we're talking about this, i can't get over that. >> carley: your former teammate's sister is going through this, you have been through so much over the past few years, any advice you would like to share with abigail this morning? >> abigail, it is so exciting to see both of you. wheeler, high from afar back. this family, they have a heart of gold. abigail, know that you are in the majority. even the people enforcing the rules, your coach alex has a young daughter. he can't truly believe what happened to you is right and

fair and just and if he has, there is a separate conversation that needs to be had given he has a daughter. they are not willing to throw their moral compass entirely out the window. we are seeing it in corporate america and media, it is plaguing this country. you don't have to adhere to anyone to the rules, guidelines, any of that, it is liberating to say the truth and feels like a weight is off your shoulders. i want to echo what katelyn said, to be faced with what you are faced with and standing up for yourself and others, you are a megaphone. i am proud of the wheeler sisters. >> carley: sometimes it can be intimidating to stand up, you

three are unafraid. thank you all for joining us this morning. best of luck. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> carley: a witness in the houses biden family investigation indicted by doj. peter sessions sits on the house oversight committee, we'll ask what this means for the biden family investigation. >> todd: brian kilmeade. >> brian: carley is in a good mood for a change. okay, hope you like what we put together. president biden arrives at the nato summit, it will interrupt our show, he is in lithuania. and his temper behind closed doors, he likes to rage. former speaker of the house newt gingrich and ari fleischer, will react to the administration and blunders on the world stage. the president being led by king

weapons to china. he vanished while out on bail now claiming his arrest is the result of political persecution by u.s. authorities who he says are trying to protect the biden family. the justice department finally releasing the details of those charges yesterday, which include five counts of armed trafficking, two counts of making false statements and one count for illegally selling iranian oil to china. now this comes as we are learning just how deeply connected the first son is to the president's inner circle. nearly a dozen emails dating back to the obama administration reveal hunter had several business related meetings with officials who now hold top jobs in his father's administration that includes jake sullivan who now sits as white house national security adviser and now secretary of state antony blinken. one email reveals a particularly interesting exchange with former white house chief of staff ron klain who wrote to hunter, quote: i'm hitting up a very close friends on a very confidential basis to write

checks of $2,000 each. we need to keep this low low key because raising money for the residence now is bad pr. todd, carley? >> todd: thank you. bring in pete sessions on the house oversight committee. is it normal at the time's kid to have such deep relationships with senior white house staff? >> i think it's inappropriate. it may occasionally take place but not to the level of where they are attempting to undermine the best interest of the united states of america. and this is the disturbing part. we continue to see where we are not just after the european model of governance they are after the california model day after day the atrocities that are committed by this administration including their inability to effectively understand the rule of law is disturbing to all americans. >> carley: congressman, the secret service is going to hold

a briefing on the cocaine found at the white house that briefing is going to happen on thursday. right now we don't know who the drugs belong to. do you think we will ever find out? >> that's a good question. we have already seen where the biden administration has overridden the department of justice. they have v.i.p. entrance to the department of justice. v.i.p. to the fbi. we will find out if they had v.i.p. and override the secret service. these are national security issues and problems. and when these huge organizations yield to political pressure, it means that the national security is at risk in this country. and when you can walk in with a bag of cocaine and use it in the white house, that's a problem. >> todd: got about 15 seconds for this answer, congressman, isn't every square inch of that white house covered by a camera? >> it should be and it has been

in the past and evidently this administration has chosen to block the information for their own self-interest. >> carley: congressman pete sessions thank you so much for joining us this morning. we appreciate it? >> you bet. >> carley: great to be back to work with you after one day off for me and one week off for you. >> todd: making me sound like a slacker. >> carley: hardest worker in the business. >> president biden is in lithuania ahead of a summit key discussions over russia and ukraine and cluster bombs. >> best way to achieve peace is to have ukraine get more battlefield victories. >> if you ever working with me and i hear you treat another colleague with disrespect. i promise you i many fire you on the spot. >> >> senate hearing. >> excuse me while i fire my staff. >> there have a been a number of sightings. >>
