pollution and not population. i remember where two former white house staffers said that the president is frustrated with her because he is not -- she has not taken enough off of his plate because is he worried about all the gaffes that she is making so there's a lot going on there and it's not going to stop any time soon. >> todd: i wonder that freud would think of that misspeak. >> carley: got leave it there. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> steve: live from new york city on this monday, july 17th, 2023, let's look a year ahead. let's look at 2024. and there, of course, all the declared republican candidates. and that is where we start on this busy monday in the surgeon. >> ainsley: look at all of those faces, lots of experience on that screen. we are only a month away from the fox debate, the first presidential debate, the question is will donald trump participate? we hope so. >> brian: six months until iowa

so let's see what happens on august 23rd. donald trump says i'm up by so much do i really need to do this. ron desantis expect everybody to be there governor christie is poking him, calling him a coward if he doesn't show up. everyone needs him there. one of the biggest prize surprises is one of the people that has not qualified yet is vice president mike pence e has not hit the 40,000 threshold with the 1%. he needs 40,000 separate donations. but governor desantis, i guess, is the first mini crisis. got the money. maybe overspent. not resonating like he thought, and has toe rejigger some of his lineup. has to super pacs and start going to hostile territory beginning today and then possibly two or three times after. >> steve: getting a clear picture of the status of all the candidates right now. over the weekend it was the

filing deadline for how much they raised. your point about mike pence, he has only raised $1.2 million. ron desantis in the last quarter raised 20 million, but it was largely big donors. and the worry is, and there is mike pence right there, former vice president. the worry for ron desantis is the lack of grassroots because a lot of governor desantis' donors are big donors. and, according to nbc, they have fired a dozen staff members and more coming because apparently they just hired too many people. meanwhile, on the other side, you have got joe biden has raised $72 million, almost as much as all the republicans combined. if you are wondering why there is a lack of activity on the democratic side according to the filings, the campaign -- guess how many employees in the campaign has? joe biden the current president, running for re-election, how many employee does the campaign have?

four. >> ainsley: four? >> steve: four employees. >> ainsley: what about the small campaign offices around the country. >> steve: no. four official employees. largely being run out of the white house and the dnc. >> ainsley: most of the money has been big donors. smaller donors about half of what barack obama had raised during that same time period but money is money. money can buy aldz and money can definitely sway voters. look at ron desantis all over the state of iowa. he said kim reynolds could be -- as the governor of iowa could be his running mate, could be vice president. he is not ruling out after donald trump was upset with truth social because he endorsed her and he said that she was going to stay neutral. she wasn't going to pick a candidate yet and that upset donald trump. we are going to have her on to talk about this later on in the show. >> brian: that's one of the weaknesses people have on trump. why are you taking down governor reynolds who just set i'm not against you, i just don't want to make an endorsement. >> ainsley: because it might be a loyalty issue.

ron desantis thing like he felt ron desantis should have endorsed him. >> brian: on the surface seems like a situation where you have a very popular successful governor in iowa ohio thought was going to actually endorse desantis because they are so tight, who is doing a lot of the same things and has that school choice and everything. and for trump to go after just for not endorsing him. it certainly didn't hurt him over the weekend in the speak when he brought her up. to your point, too in terms of small donors, the "new york times" writes, small donor donations are down. it's just can -- those are 200 lower. $10.2 million small donors which shows the grassroots that donald trump has. >> ainsley: maybe that's because small donors feels the way kim reynolds does. >> brian: i mean for joe biden. >> ainsley: okay. >> steve: regarding on the republican side. do you know who surprisingly has got a lot of small donors for a republican is chris christie. he raised $1.6 million in the

last quarter, and a third of that came from small donors, which does suggest that he has got broad appeal. you know, he has been on all the channels and he is obviously resonating. >> ainsley: will he be able to debate. >> brian: christie is in. >> steve: he has plenty of unique donors. he has been, brian, to your point, has been essentially shaming the former president who says look, i'm way ahead in the polls i don't have to do it. at least that's what he said yesterday with maria, this morning we are wondering will he show up or won't he show up? you be the judge. >> ronald reagan didn't do it and a lot of other people didn't do it. if when you have a big lead you don't do it. we have a lead of 50, 60 points. and some of these people are at zero. ron desanctus as i call him or desanctimonious is down to -- he is in the teens now. it's actually not fair. why would you let somebody that's at zero or one or two or three, you know, be popping you with questions? >> do you see any risk that if you don't show up ron desantis

has a good night and it cuts into your lead? >> or somebody else has a good night and cuts into his lead because that's what's happening. is he going down and a couple of them are going up. i think vivek has done a good job, frankly. i think others have done a good job so i haven't made up my mind. >> brian: so funny, in that interview, he also said that i asked ted kennedy a while ago who is the dumbest senator he? said joe, i said joe who? he said joe biden. i was good friends can ted kennedy. we have no way of i verifying t story. he said i don't think joe biden should debate. r.f.k. is very smart guy. he could get himself in a lot of trouble with that. >> ainsley: as the 30 or 40 point leader why we do it? if you want to know the truth, i don't think that he is capable of doing it but why we do it, especially because of that. many people feel the same way. but, look, the rewards outweigh the risks. i believe this is his did wheelhouse.

the debate is wheel house. he risks somebody gaining momentum. don't take the voter for granted. the voters want to hear from him. why wouldn't he especially because is he just a good debater. i understand the biden team doesn't want him to debate. he doesn't have. to say he is the incumbent. they don't want him to because they are not sure is he capable of it either. but donald trump is. >> steve: that's the way it has always been. if you were incumbent president. you have a desk at 1600 pennsylvania. hinkly you don't go into primary debates because, generally nobody primaries the president. >> brian: is that a new hat? >> steve: he has been wearing that a couple weeks. while the incumbent doesn't show up at the debarkts people who are running against incumbent generally do. >> brian: find out from grover cleveland. >> steve: former president says i'm so far ahead in the polls it wasn't that long ago do you really trust the polls? of course all the polls have shown for the most part is he by

far the run away leader on the republican side. on the republican side you have ron desantis ron you have ron de second place. >> steve: ron desanctus as he calls him essentially donald trump's record back in the day not so good. >> we have been very frank, at our differences, with respect to the former president. i mean, for example, he promised to drain the swamp. it goes worse. he did not drain the swamp. he promised to have mexico pay for a border wall. they did like 50 miles of wall. there is massive expansive still there he said he was going to eliminate the national debt. they have added almost $8 trillion to the debt in four years. and, of course, in 2020 he turned the country over to dr. fauci and those lockdowns and the borrowing and printing really sent us on a bad course. i have been very, very frank at

that i have no interest in attacking donald trump or any of these other candidates personally. i think we have got rise above and this focus on the issues. >> steve: about the name-calling. >> brian: i would say this. i don't think that's going to get anywhere. everybody knows how hard donald trump worked on the swamp by himself, basically. and number two is the wall. stop with the 40 miles of wall. of the stuff that was replaced if you talk to anybody down there was split rail fence and these small wire fences. he was building a whole wall. the bigger story is the stuff that's laying in the dessert right now that we all paid for that joe biden is now putting up over spite even though it helped the border patrol. i think governor desantis is vulnerable over what is happening in florida with insurance. i think trump is vulnerable but not knows areas. that is driveway hole. governor christie keeps saying the same thing. everybody anothers what he had to do to build what he did. re-purposing defense money took a long of slingsz and arab rows to do it and finally went around

it and put up with all the court orders that made him stop and then he started putting it up record pace and lost the election and stopped in its tracks. >> steve: brian, those points that you just made on behalf of donald trump, it would be great to see donald trump and ron desantis and chris christie just duke it out. that's why they call it a debate. and then, you know, so many people have said well, donald trump, ainsley, you echoed it a while ago, he has done so well in debates in the past. all right, show up. debate, and shine. this is his big chance. all right. i'm just going to eliminate these two immediately. >> ainsley: it's a chance, we will see everyone who is debating on that stage. i wonder how long after that do people start to drop out. >> steve: the money dries up. >> ainsley: iowa, new hampshire, south carolina. two candidates in south carolina. what does that mean for ron desantis? what does that mean for donald trump when they go too to south carolina. donald trump in that interview said he considered tim scott as a running mate. we work together on opportunity zones which is one of the most

phenomenal processes he has ever seen work four country which is great -- opportunity zones go into bad neighborhoods, poor neighborhoods and give opportunity to people who don't have a lot of money. wonderful wail to drain them to learn a skill. he also talked about cocaine. the cocaine found in the white house. they can track down my books boxes. they can't find drugs. the situation room they have so many cameras there. this is where we decide on war and nuclear weight. tours are not allowed there. he things it's only strong passes or family members who can get through that they know the person. how could they not? >> brian: he would know that. i think, too, for donald trump to be there, if he is thinking is he going to get the nomination, the best thing to do is to go into training. the best thing you have advantage over a current president they don't debate. remember how bad obama did in his first one and george bush 43 did in first one going for re-election. you are not used to debate. you are used to governing. if he could keep himself sharp going into maybe two or three that he has with joe biden it would only help him.

i would take the reps as much as possible. >> steve: if he doesn't show up, you are going to hear a constant, you know, people are going to say what was he afraid of? why didn't he show up? sitting on a lead but we're trying to figure out who exactly should be the next president. speaking of, you mentioned, people with a lot of money. they will put money into the campaigns of people they like when they see. vivek ramaswamy in the last quarter raised $2.3 million in contributions. so far he has loaned himself $15 million. 5 million in the last quarter. and he says he will spend up to $100 million of his own money. >> ainsley: what is he worth? >> steve: more than a hundred million. >> ainsley: he started companies, is he brilliant. >> brian: you have good news. >> ainsley: i do. wednesday, after the show, we are flying down to tallahassee the capital of florida. >> steve: we? >> ainsley: going to will interview ron desantis and his wife casey. we would like it in and have to

change. lock it in and change i'm really excited that she has agreed to sit down with us. i'm thank. >> for that. >> brian: in florida. >> ainsley: you have gone down there to the governor's mansion. have you talked though them and their children. the children were in the punch bowl in the dining room. you such a cute interview. we want to get to know her and who she is. i think she is a strong individual. they seem to have such a beautiful relationship. and he supported her through her cancer so we want to talk to her about that. we had the chance to sit down with melania and donald trump and tim scott and his mom. i would love to interview all of them and their spouses or their spouses or husbands like nikki haley. it's all gearing up now. we are starting the election. we will air that for you on thursday and maybe a little bit on friday, too. depending on how much we get. >> steve: the debate just about a month away on fox. a fox weather alert. deadly flash flooding, swept across portions of eastern pennsylvania. we get a live report on the latest rescue efforts. still going on coming up next. >> ainsley: chaos at the tour de

>> brian: all right. back with a fox weather alert. a 9-month-old baby and 2-year-old sister still missing after intense flooding killed five people in pennsylvania over the weekend. >> ashley: gosh, losing two children. could you imagine? officials say they expect the number of victims continue to crease. hopefully they will find those kids. >> steve: multi media journalist katy byrnes joins us in pennsylvania with the latest. >> finding those kids is the biggest priority, the rain rushed in so fast they had no choice but to get out of their cars and try to escape the flooding on foot. that's when officials say tragically five people didn't make it and search crews are still hooking for two kids in one of those stranded cars with their family. the family was visiting here in bucks county from charleston, south carolina. they were on their way to a

barbecue to meet family and friends when the storms moved in and the road got submerged in water from a nearby creek. the dad went to grab his 4-year-old son and miraculously they escaped the floodwaters. the mom and grandma went to get the 9-month-old baby and 2-year-old wig sister but they were all swept away. yesterday search crews found the mom's body. the grandmother also found and survived but those two kids are still missing and a search crew of nearly 100 is still looking for them today. >> we continue to look for the two children. we are not going to give up, regardless. the weather is a factor. but at this point we are going to continue the operations. >> now, this is the road that family was driving on when this all happened on saturday. this area got about 7 inches of rain in 45 minutes. and fire officials were able to save 8 people from their cars and two people from that nearby creek. they also say that one of the

cars that got pulled into the creek was found a mile and a half away. guys? >> steve: all right. katie, thank you very much for the live report from pennsylvania. go out on the streets of pennsylvania and our senior meteorologist janice dean previews the day ahead. we have a lot of rain over the weekend throughout the northeast. what about today, j.d. >> you can tell the atmosphere is saturated. we have the potential for thunderstorms really for the next few days but a break today for the most part. let's take the a look at it. look at all the watches and warnings we experienced yesterday. we had a couple of tornado warnings as well upstate new york, as well as new jersey. we had severe thunderstorm warnings and would flash flood alerts. dozens of them over the last 48 hours. today, a better day, but, again, the at more fear is juicy. it doesn't take everywhere to get a thunderstorm going and the potential for some flash flooding. but it's really tuesday things start to get a little bit more frisky in terms of the radar. tuesday into wednesday. as a cold front moves in and

along that cold front we could see the potential for some super cells that could produce some heavy rainfall. we'vekeep an eye on that. flash flood threat for for tomorrow through wednesday. a lot of these areas saturated. potential for severe storms parts of the plain states, the ohio and tennessee river valley and of course the heat is the huge story. also, the smoke returns from canada across portions of the upper midwest, the great lakes, and the northeast. so we will watch that not as potent as we saw a few weeks ago, but, still a problem for those are his respiratory issues. steve, ainsley and brian over to you. >> steve: so much going on the map. thanks, j.d. >> brian: carley shimkus is poised to give us news including a major strike in crimea. >> we will start with a fox news alert two. officials are dead after what they are calling a ukrainian attack against the vital bridge linking crimea to russia. the extent of the damage still

>> ainsley: it was hot. connecticut hot this weekend. thank you so much, steve. a new report from the i.g.'s committee which tracks the $5 trillion that congress spent on covid relief efforts is raising a few eyebrows. look at this. so there's $5 trillion of your tax dollars that went to covid relief efforts. they specifically tracked, this is just a case study. they looked at a small portion. 2.65 billion that went to six different communities around the country. and then, according to this report, they found it was too difficult to track and they weren't sure where the money went. so, let's talk to stuart varney about this the host of varney and company. is he over here sitting down with us. hey, stuart, how are you? >> good morning. >> ainsley: good morning. thanks for coming in. >> sure thing. >> ainsley: what do you think about this? it's a lot of money but understandable. should have records of where our tax dollars are going. >> stuart: here have you got vast government bureaucracy throwing $5 trillion, very quickly, into the economy.

some fraud is inevident continual. it's an extremely complex thing. they covered -- this committee that you were talking about there. they tracked 10 agencies, administering 89 programs in six communities, they couldn't track all the money, they didn't have the information. they didn't actually know where it's gone. and i'm not surprised about this. to qualify for covid unemployment relief, all you had to do was to send in your name, date of birth, address and social security number. there is plenty of room for fraud there when you are dealing with 100 million or 1,200,000,000 americans. don't be surprised that when you chuck that amount of money into the economy, you get a degree of fraud. i think it's inevitable. it's awful. but it is inevitable. >> ainsley: one specific report they found it went to six different communities around the country. i think we have a map of those communities. two small to mid size cities. two rural counties and two native american organizations. why can't they contact these communities and say where did the money go. we need to seed records of every

family restaurant and school that got money. >> they asked for the records and they didn't have the records. the system of government handing out the money broken broke down. what we got was a fairly rapid recovery because all that money was chucked into the economy. but we also got inflation. and that's the biggest problem that still lives with us. we threw the money in there. it just resulted in rising prices. the federal reserve was printing trillions of dollars. >> so the government distributing it. the fed was printing it. inflation was actually inevitable and the fraud, well, that, perhaps, inevitable, too. what happens next time that's my question. >> ainsley: do you think they will learn from this? do you think they will take notes and say this is how we did it last time it was so chaotic we were prying to feed families and help families and schools. we didn't know what we were doing. now we have learned? >> what's your experience of government bureaucracies? are you happy? do you know what i mean? >> ainsley: yes. >> stuart: government doesn't do things efficiently.

>> ainsley: how about the money we haven't spent yet? >> stuart:there isgreat diesel , particularly in the schools. that's what a lot of people find gulling, down come the standards. the money was $122 billion was pushed out of to the schools. not all of it has been spent. why not? what's going on? what's going on? we're not getting value for money. >> ainsley: they don't want school choice because they think it's going to make money away from the schools that needs it the most. put it to those schools. >> stuart: that's the answer to america's educational problems. deunionize the school force and go for school choice. can you beat that? >> ainsley: thank you, stuart. watch american built monday nights 9:00 p.m. on the fox business prime. watch his show at 9:00 a.m., varney and company owe -- every day eastern time 9:00 a.m. >> that's an old picture.

into mexico over the weekend. why didn't mexico stop them? >> that's a really good question. mexico has been helping recently. and, look, all of the success that we had on the border in the trump administration was because we were doing all the right things, including engaging mexico in a way that made them help us, and so what is this administration going to do? whatencounters between the portf entry are lower but they are not lower overall, right? people are using cpb one coming into the port and being released into the united states. when you are releasing over a third of everyone who comes to the border, then they are going to just encourage more people to come into the pipeline. so now this group has formed in southern mexico. they are going to walk up not united states border and it remains to be seen if the border patrol will be given the tools that they need to stop this kind of trafficking.

and so far this administration, they stopped the wall funding, they put a moratorium on deportation and removal. they told everybody that's in the country illegally that they're not going to send ice out to look for them. so we as a nation, this administration specifically is ebb cowrminging this. the incentives are all wrong and they continue to tout that they are being successful on the border when we can see with our own eyes they are not. of the people in the pipeline know that as well. >> you are absolutely right. the administration is saying that migrant encounters have dropped by 70% since the end of title 42. but, ron, you know, for the thousand people who are now in this caravan heading our way, didn't they get the memo that after title 42 it was very clear you cross into the united states illegally, we are going to send you back and you cannot apply for five years. is that going to hand? they come up to the river and are we going to let them in or are we going to say we told you come back in five years. >> right. consequences matter.

if you tell people that if they come to the border and a third of them get released into the united states, you're not going to stop others from coming. another thing this administration did. we have the asylum accords with the northern triangle and migrant protection protocol with mexico. that was a sconce sequence. that meant if you came into the united states he will illegally then they sent you back into mexico to wait for immigration hearing or safe third country came from guatemala into mexico. you could apply for asylum there that is what was happening. that gave us 45 year lows on the southwest border. we have done exactly the opposite under this administration. >> this is the result of it. these people know, look at the sense of entitlement. the reporting says they are coming into the united states because they want to come here and work. they know that many of them, too many of them are going to be released into the united states they will be on this economy and we will never see them again. >> it used to be, ron, the only way you could get into the country with asylum you were being persecuted or, you know, a threat of death.

but, instead, it's like hey, i want to make money because i can make more money in new york city than i can in guatemala. >> the system is overwhelmed. and this administration is sending a signal to the rest of the world. so, congress needs to act here. we need to get the senate back and we need a new about the that will actually enforce the law. give us a secure border. a secure homeland and an immigration snl that has integrity. we don't have that now we won't until this crew is out. >> ron, thank you very much for getting up early on this monday. >> thanks for having me. >> steve: you bet, thank you. 12 minutes before the top of the hour. carley, this first story is one of the craziest,most misunderstood -- i don't understand what happened in this story. >> carley: you are not alone my friend and i have all the details right here. the boyfriend of the alabama woman who vanished after calling 911 to report a toddler walking down the side of the interstate says she was kidnapped. the boyfriend sharing on facebook, quote: she was literally fighting for her life

local community over in yonkers the state supreme court recently ruling that the charter school of excellence in yonkers must admit 50% of its students from outside the city which not only hurts neighborhood families but drives up transportation costs for the school specifically. our next guest has a personal experience with how broken the system is and the difficulty of running a new york charter school and having unbelievable success when it comes to students ian rowe joins us: >> good morning. >> brian: when you heard about the struggles of yonkers, what was your take away. why would they force them not to take people in the area and go outside the area? >> brian, this is such a tragedy. this happens just a couple weeks after the charter school of educational excellence actually graduated its first senior class. 98% graduation rate. almost $8 million in college scholarships for their graduating seniors.

imagine now if you were a parent in yonkers, excited for your child to be able to go to this school and to be told sorry, even though this school was deliberately created for yonkers' residents the state is now essentially banning local patience from having the ability to choose an exceptional school for their child and their graduates are now going to cornell university, new york university. boston university. it's an outrage. >> ainsley: to see the success, if you get to that school, to your school, to another school the odds of your success are just astronomical in terms of what have you done. charter school 70% of the students in the yonkers charter school outscores new york state in the sixth grade proficiency in math to 38%. then the yonkers charter school outscored 97% to 57%. in yonkers in particular every

kid is going to college. >> 100 percent. >> these are minority kids. what else do they want? >> it's unbelievable. i mean, in my own school, vertex partnership adams, we are in a district where only 7% of the students that start ninth grade four years later graduate from high school ready for college. so we deliberately put our public charter high school in that district so that the local residents can benefit now, imagine again if you -- that opportunity was robbed, was ripped away from you as a local parent, it's actually -- i think it case is going to continue because it's part of the charter school law that when you have preferences in a lottery because so many people are applying the way that you actually give preference is based on academics or not based on any other criteria, it's based on geographic press conference.

geographic regionality, so everyone in a local district should have press conference. preference.>> there should be ae charter schools and stop by the new york state teacher's union has all the power because they have a super majority among democrats in state. how does that make you feel? >> well, it feels outrage. the solution, if there are students outside of yonkers that need better high quality options. we agree. then create more legislation and allow more opportunities and other charter school leaders to create more high school options or k through 12 options. but don't rob. don't take away the opportunities from people in the local community. i mean, we were sued by the teacher's union to shut down even before we opened, thankfully, we beat the teacher's union. but this is emblematic of the kinds of challenges that people, great education leaders are trying to bring fantastic

schools to low income communities. >> brian: ian, i appreciate what you do. all these parents appreciate what you do. you are changing lives on a daily basis by making kids reach their potential, better teachers, longer days, more demands, better results. it's hard to beat that formula. ian rowe, thank you. >> thank you. >> brian: you got it. just teacher's unions that are stopping it. meanwhile, the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. >> steve: hour two of "fox & friends." we start with a fox news alert. russia says two people have been killed after what they are calling an ukrainian attack against the vital bridge that links crimea to mother russia. >> ainsley: it comes as the kremlin says it is halting the deal allowing the equities port of ukrainian grain. >> brian: it's going to be substantial. alexandria hoff is live in washington. alexandria, what's the damage? >> talk about th
