rachel: good morning, everybody. it's 7:00 here in new york city, can and we're so happy to be here with you sharing the morning. that's a good picture, by the way, of myrtle beach. will: that's a great picture. how far do you think you can walk out? rachel: i don't know. will: i bet you can walk out really far. pete: you mean on the beach? will: before the water -- yeah, no, i mean out -- let's put that back up. you see the pier? rachel: i see what you're saying. will: you were just in florida -- pete: you can walk out really far in the gulf of mexico. i don't know, maybe out close to the pier there. what is surf line? is that a channel for surfers to watch -- will: i happen to know the answer to this. president you do? is. will: yeah, i've got it on the phone. i don't even know the words that came out of your mouth.

the wake is strong. [laughter] rachel: he's from minnesota -- pete: how big are the waves. will: the wake is the thing behind a boat. [laughter] you go to surf of line, it's a great site is. they have cams, camera as up in different locations, you can see what the waves look like, and then you look at the surf report. so we can hop on right now and see what the waves look like in fiji, maybe we could if pull up a camera of california. it's dark there. wherever. pete: a lot of california people watch the show. i found that out on vacation. rachel: yeah, you did do. they dvr. pete: i always thought they were staying up late and catching the first hour. will: partiers? pete: yeah, that's what i thought. maybe we get a beach cam on wilmington, delaware. will: i'm going to look it up during the break -- pete: the bidens have ended their beach trip, and they're headed back to wilmington for the remainderrer of their vacation and possibly a lot to

discuss inside the family these days, because we learned a lot this week -- rachel: they don't discuss -- pete: oh, or you're right, you're right. rachel: they don't discuss anything with business. pete: i'm sorry. the new talking point from the other side after this week is the illusion of access. so you've got to -- the left-wing media has to find a way to explain away the evidence that's coming clear before them. of course joe biden knew about his son's business dealings, and that's devon archer or right will there. a big week for him both behind closed doors with the house oversight committee with an interview with tucker or carlson, with others where he talked openly about refuting the requested that was just the illusion of access. we'll get to that in a moment. but here's the media talking about how they're spinning what joe might have known and peddling -- will: it's particularly congressman dan goldman -- pete: okay. will: -- who was in that interview with devon archer.

he came out, and he said -- it's a pretty ingenious spin. he says what we're really looking at here is the illusion of access. rachel: because there were 20 calls, over 20 calls -- will: he was acknowledging hunter was doing some shady stuff, but he's saying it wasn't really access to joe biden -- pete: keeping the and hunter apart. will we've yeah. he was selling the illusion of -- that kind of ran, to your point, pete, the mainstream media narrative for a day or two. watch. >> hunter biden was eling the illusion of said access. >> the witness testimony was very clear that hunter may have, quote, promoted the illusion of influence on his father. >> a source familiar with the matter tells me that, you know, archer told the committee that hunter biden was selling the illusion, illusion in quotes, of access to his father. >> dan can goldman said that archer testified that it was the

illusion of access. will: look at them run with that, okay? the illusion of access -- pete: in the banner. will: by the way, goldman is the levi strauss heir. his role is fascinating. in fact, take a look at this. so illusion of access, remember that. now, here's transcript testimony there from devon archer in front of the house oversight committee which goldman was in the meeting, right? he was in that. and here's how the questioning went. goldman says to archer -- remember, goldman says -- it's not about selling access to his father, it's about selling the illusion of access to his father, is that fair? >> so archer responds, is that fair? i mean, yeah, i think it is. i think that's almost fair. and then goldman goes on, i believe we have more, yeah. he says, i think -- archer says think that that's why he was able to -- okay, hold on. we're running two things together. i want to come back to this. can we just a pause that for one second? so illusion pollution of --

illusion of access is goldman's lineful he's feeding it to archer, and archer doesn't buy it 100%. kind of, it's almost fair. hen he goes on to say because there was some actual connections. rachel: we have video proof of it where he said i told the, i'm going to pyre -- i told them they better fire the prosecutor else they're not going to get their billion dollars. pete: yeah. and to continue what you said, so goldman follows up and says, almost fair? why almost fair in and archer says this, a line fed to him, because there are touchpoints and contacts that i can't deny that happened. but nothing of material, which that's another line they're using all week long, nothing material was discussed. they were just talking about the weather just like bill clinton and loretta lynch on tarmac, they were just talking about kids' gifts. butting i can't go on record saying there was communications. will: so what he's saying there is the reports are in this

testimony he says at least 20 something calls where they put joe biden on speakerphone with hunter, but then they'd step away, so archer doesn't know what they say directly. what joe has said, what hunter said, what the business partners say. so he's, like, i can't really say it's the illusion of access, that's not completely fair. the point there is it's completely manufactured. illusion of access, that's goldman's line, not or archer's. and the media just, here we go, we got the spin, let's run. rachel: i hope we can maybe pull this clip up later in the show where it was on msnbc with eugene robinson. so he's talking with another reporter about the 20 calls, and their trying -- they're trying to explain away why would joe biden agree to be on speakerphone, you know, with hunter. and they actually, believe it or not, say, well, you know, this is a time when beau was dying -- will: right. rachel: -- and it was a really tough time and so, you know,

should he have hung up on the son, hunter, when he put him on the line? yeah, but, you know, that's a really tough time. so what it actually tells me not that joe biden was, you know, under stress the, what it tells me is even though beau was dying, hunter and joe biden are still determined to make munch in that's how how big their greed is, that's what they're focused on. let's get on the call, let's make sure hunter make makes money instead of paying attention to beau who's dying of cancer. by the way, they use beau, anytime they're in trouble, they use beau to cover up. will: so i asked for this next part, i think this is fascinating. pete: this is the one that we jumped to previously. will: by accident. but, so goldman's role in this, i think, is fascinating. he creates this illusion of access thing, and then he walks down this path where the truth comes out unknowingly. he's like the best cross-examiner, although he doesn't know he's. >>s cross-examining devon

archer. so devon archer ooh's explaining the value of hunter biden sitting on the burisma board. well, it's for the grand. what does that mean, the brand? if who's the brand? if watch this testimony unfold. so archer says the brand, i think that's why burisma was able to survive for as long as it did. goldman says, because of additional capital or what in no, just because of brand. goldman says, well, i don't understand. how does that have an impact? archer says, well, capabilities to navigate d.c. that they were able to, you know, basically be in the news cycle. i think that preserved them from, you know, a longevity standpoint. that's, like, my honest, that's like really what i -- that's how i think about this holistically k. and goldman says, but how would that work? archer says, because people would be intimidate to mess with them, again, because of the brand. goldman asks, in what way? and archer says, legally. [laughter] this is about getting a prosecutor fired this ukraine.

pete: he's effectively using d.c. code to say this is political top cover that the brand of biden would give to a corrupt company. will: yes. pete: so you put hunter on the board. everyone knows who his dad can is, they know they have the illusion or reality of access, and as a result, you don't mess with burisma because you've got the political power of d.c. there. they don't have to talk in specificity, that's the point. it's all vague generalities of what we can do, don't touch -- and then certain touchpoints, then they come on down and take a direct action like firing the prosecutor in ukraine where it benefits the people that are a paying lots of money. rachel: right. and and and, you know, i had this interview with monica crowley in the last hour, and the implication of this kind of corruption, we're dealing with it right now because we have a president who is compromised by dirty deals like this in ukraine, by the same kind of dirty deals that they were making in china and in russia, and we see soft on china policy.

and again, just for me as an american looking at this, just my frustration at knowing that they're around the world making energy deals with the chinese, with the ukrainians as they're shutting down american jobs -- pete: in the name of climate change -- rachel: the hi pockily oi of it and -- hypocrisy of it and their willingness to sell out our country. this very week we have president trump being indicted and these corrupt losers are free and fine. pete: and you remember what tony bobulinski said in october of 2020. he said to james biden, how are you going to get away with all of in this and he said, plausible deniability. ultimately, just enough of this and then a willing media to make up things like -- rachel: and a willing fbi and doj because remember, one of the most interesting things in the follow-up interview that tucker carlson did with tony bob lin

can sky, he said the fbi -- bobulinski, the fbi never call to follow up with what he said. the fbi was not interested in that and told also the irs whistleblowers never to go down any line of questioning that involved joe biden. pete: it's true. well, we're going to get more on this later just in about 20 minutes from representative james comer who has promised that even more is coming. we'll ask him what is that and what more can the committee do to get to the bottom of this. 7:30, don't miss it. will: iowa farmers are accusing china of stealing american hand are. take a look at this, the chinese u.s. land grab. in 2021 the chinese owned 384,000 acres of land, that's u- pete: yeah you're right, sorry. pete: -- will: in 2011 it was 69,000. pete: how many acres do we own in china? is it more or less than 5?

rachel: yeah. pete: i mean, this is a corrupt regime taking advantage of a free society, right in and how long are we going to be willfully blind to the fact that they have a strategic in not just our land, but our resources. and they're doing it methodically. rachel: i'm old enough to remember the kohl war, the '80s. i just can't imagine a similar situation where we would have allowed the soviet union to come in here and buy swaths of land. there was an interview with a sixth generation iowa farmer. she says it's not just the land, she's concerned about patented genetically-engineered seeds. listen. >> the bottom line gets thinner and thinner and tighter and tighter. when china steals that ip from a seed company, that money has to be made up somewhere, and so unfortunately, the u.s. farmer is the one that's going to deal with it. rachel: not a big fan of genetically-modified seeds personally -- [laughter] but they are produced by

american companies, they are patented, and, you know, china -- pete: so they're not just stealing our intellectual property, they're stealing our seeds. rachel: yes, they are. now, i would like us to go back before they had genetically modify because i think that has a lot of health modifications. pete: i love corn on the cob that's this big. [laughter] rachel: there's a lot of things that happens to those seeds, and i think that's actually a huge topic for another day. but again, this is about the chinese stealing our intellectual property rights which heir doing, by the way, across every sector. will: meanwhile, we thought we'd end this top of the 7:00 hour on the east coast with a bit of joy for you. rachel: comedy -- pete: and wisdom. will: joy and wisdom from vice president kamala harris. >> the next steps in our work together will be about further expanding our partnerships. we are discuss the work that we will do together to strength

strengthen our spaces and cooperation. you and i spoke briefly about the beginning of the next era a and for what you what that means in term of your leadership and your vision for the future and certainly strengthening our cooperation would be a part of that agenda. including, of course, using our space cooperation to think about how we strengthen the economic prosperity and development of our nations. for years we have worked to expand investment in community banks because, you see, community banks specialize in providing loans and financial assistance to small business owners. in particular, those in overlooked and underserved communities including rural communities. and as the name suggests, community banks are in the community. [laughter] if. rachel: you know what actually? you guys can laugh, but the role of community banks -- pete: i'm not laughing at community banks -- rachel: i'm sorry. pete: but did you know they're

in the community? rachel: well, listen, i tell you what, in the age of digital, moving towards digital currency andal moving toward, we've already seen the way big banks can cut off people's funds, i'm in the process of moving all my money to a community bank because i think i'm less likely to be, have my funds out off. i know that's not the purpose of this thing, but i just -- will: just as an asidesome. rachel: just thought i'd let you know that i don't trust big banks, and i'm all for community banks. pete: you're speaking briefly about the beginning of the next era and what it means for the vision of the future. will: and they're in the community. pete: and i support space cooperation can. rachel: because they're cooperating in space. will: a community bank in space. [laughter] pete: perfect. perfect. rachel: oh. sorry i ruined the funny -- pete: no,s it's good. you think about it, i thought about this yesterday, i thought, man, you know, joe bide season the commander in chief. -- joe biden is the commander in chief.

he's on vacation, but who would be there if he isn't? oh, she would be. so we're good. rachel: she's got space covered. you feel better in. pete: i feel great. a few additional headlines, starting with a fox weather wildfire alert. a fast-moving brush fire destroyed nearly a dozen homes in washington state. the firefighters rushed to the mobile home community and battled the the fire for hours moving many residents to safety. officials are investigating the cause of the fire but say the entire area has been unusually dry. and nearly 2,000 nurses are on strike at one of new jersey's largest hospitals over ongoing staffing shortages. if it would be nice if they had the nurses that were kicked out and wouldn't take the vaccine. the union says they want robert wood johnson university hospital to implement staffing ratio policies to avoid critical shortages. they have been reporting. the nurses say unions are

leaving and not being replaced and the hospital needs to prioritize recruiting effortings. and miami mayor francis suarez says he is now accepting bitcoin for campaign donations for his 2024 white house run. he says cryptocurrency helps technology create more wealth for communities, began accepting bitcoin for his salary as mayor of miami back in 202 is. suarez has not yet met the fund raising threshold to take part in the first rnc debate that will be on fox this month. and those are your headlines. rachel: which candidates have meant that threshold so far? if. will: like a half dozen, seven or eight, right? pete: trump, desantis, tim scott -- mike pence hasn't yet. burgum has. i think nikki haley and vivek has. so six, seven, eight. i know chris christie has not yet. [laughter] rachel: oh, that's not surprising. all right. well, still ahead, a beautiful cross overlooked san francisco bay for decades.

until far-left city leaders took it down. our next guest is rallying to restore it. that's next. pete: plus, fast food meets the future. chick-fil-a unveiling their drive-through of tomorrow. the future is here. that's what kamala harris said. the visions of the future is coming in the next era. will: in your community. rachel: in your community.

in 1970, and 1971, 1973 an easement was created. so on private land, my grandparents' land, an easement for the cross was this, create to protect it for all time. however, the cities has acquired that land and has actually had the land for some time but not the easement. so the cross really should be considered separate from the public park. pete: interesting. so it was intended to protect it for all time, but the city has now gone after it. what's the rationale, just can't have any christian symbols that would be conceived as part of public land? >> well, they would like to, a park unencumbered by a religious symbol. however, this religious symbol has predated the city's ownership with the legalesement, is so that should protect it. pete: here's or what the mayor said about the cross removal.

the city's actually put its money where its mouth is, and our city looks a bit more accepting thousand in a way that we think is consistent with our values. for the small local group of people who really want to see the cross stay, they're had such privilege for so long. losing it feels like being oppressed. it's going to be an adjustment for folks, but i think we will all get used to it, and i think it's a real benefit. so just get used to it, is what they're saying, and it's more inclusive to remove if it. >> it's very disappointing. there's so many people who feel that this is persecution against their faith. i just would hope that it would be able to be there for my children and their children, and i hope it comes back -- pete: what's your recourse? what can you do to fight to to bring it back? >> well, i know that the lions' club are the ones who hold the title of the easement. the city has got prejudgment possession of that title. i feel like that's injustice and

against our first amendment rights of freedom of religion. pete: so are you going to take them to court on this? >> it's already been in court. in fact, on the 18th of last month we gave testimony as to how it really hurts us so much, and we would like to have it back. we'll take it as far as it goes. we're fighting to get it back. pete: good for you. that's what you have to do, be with willing to take it as far as it goes for freedom and religious expression especially at a time when there's a supreme court that seems a lot more keen in are recognizing the value of symbols like. dorema, thank you so much. >> thank you. pete: coming up, we talked about it at the so much the hour, three words, illusion of access. how democrats and the media spun devon archer's testimony to protect the big guy. congressman james comer wasn't fielded, and he's next. c wasn'ust fooled, and he's next.

>> rather, you know, said that he was, that hunter biden was selling the the illusion of said access. >> the witness testimony was very clear that hunter may have, quote, promoted the illusion of influence on his father. enter a source familiar with the matter tells me that, you know i, archer told the committee that hunter biden was is selling the illusion, illusion in quotes, of access to his father. >> dan goldman said that archer testified that it was the illusion of access. pete: that was the media and new york congressman dan goldman spinning a new narrative following devon archer's testimony on the biden family business. but newly-released transcripts reveal the phrase illusion of access actually came from representative goldman's mouth first. goldman asking, quote t not about selling access to his father, it's about selling the illusion of access to his father, is that fair? a leading question.

archer responds, is that fair, i mean, yeah, i think it is, i think that's, that's almost fair. rachel: that's almost fair. house oversight committee chairman james comer released those transcripts, and he joins us now. congressman, thanks for joining us. what do you make of this leading, you know, questioning and if sort of the hack of curiosity and the lack of interest in getting to the bottom of this corruption scandal on part of democrats? >> well, every two weeks we produce more evidence of wrongdoing by the biden family. we produce more links to joe biden, and yet the mainstream media continues to turn a blind eye. i keep thinking at some point they're going to break, ask we're seeing some movement from certain networks like cbs, but we still have a long way to go. but the one thing that drives me crazy is anytime i go down into a scif and get a briefing from the fbi or anytime we do a

transcribed interview like we did last week, you'll either have jamie raskin or dan goldman come out and tell the press complete lies about what we just heard, and the press will run with it. we've produced bank records, we've produced -- everything i've said about criminal activity about the bidens that i've said i can back up. yet one member on the oversight committee on the democrat side can come out and tell a narrative to the press, and they run with it. will: congressman, i've heard you say on several occasions this is the beginning. you've essentially just begun the deposition phase. there are a lot of other characters in this, eric schwerin, hunter biden himself. can you give us some expectation of what's to come with the deposition phase? >> yeah. well, we have other people like devon archer who were in business, so to speak, with hunter biden. i hate to say this business because they didn't have a legitimate business. their business was influence peddling, and that's what devon

archer testified in the transcribed interview. they were simply selling the brand which was joe biden. this is what devon around offer -- archer said. they got paid because people needed access to the federal government x they knew that hunter biden was joe biden's son, and if he -- if they needed something, and and they always did need something because every one of these entities that were paying the bidens, the millions and millions of dollars, they were people with issues in their cup. they were under investigation for corruption, many of them. they were crooks, so to speak. so we're going to bring in additional people. there are about five or six people whose names were also on these shell companies, these fake companies that the bidens were using the launder money from these foreign nationals. remember, the process involved a foreign country, a foreign national wiring money to a fake company. then the fake company would then turn around and wire the money to the biden family members.

they did this to hide the source of the revenue because they weren't posed to get money from many of -- supposed to get money from many of these countries. and secondly, they did it to hide from the irs so they wouldn't have to pay taxes. the number of laws that have been broken by the biden family is staggering, and what we saw last week in the transcript, joe biden knew all along who they were getting money from and why. pete: mr. chairman, you were in the room, what was the disposition of devon around offer? -- archer? was he reluctant? was he relieved? what was the mood in the room? >> well, i had the staff lead the exception. i didn't want a lot of members in the room because that makes the witness uneasy. we had andy biggs and jim jordan in the room. i was on the phone. but at the end of the day, devon archer was under a lot of pressure. look, the department of justice sent him a letter on saturday, they sent him another letter on sunday. there was constant communication

where the biden legal team trying to intimidate and harass our witness, trying to encourage him not to cooperate with the house oversight committee. they are doing this with our other witnesses. but we're going to continue to bring people in. we're going to continue to get bank records. in fact, hopefully next week we're going to release more bank records that show more suspicious wires from our enemies around the world that were going in to the biden family's back pocket. so everyone that's cooperating with our committee is under great pressure because of their concern that the department of justice is going to implicate them in wrongdoing and protect the bidens and that they're going to be eaten alive in the press. this is a example of witness intimidation every day by our department of justice and if by the biden legal team. rachel: that is just so disheartening to hear, that our own officials both in the doj, the fbi but also the democrats

don't even want to hear from these witnesses, that they actually want to intimidate them and not let this information come out. it just, it's just sickening. by the way, you are, to move to another topic, at the st. jerome fancy farm pick -- picnic. it's like the largest picnic ever, a huge political event. when my husband would go to events headache this -- like this, he'd get a really good feel for where the people are at. what are you hearing from the people on the ground where you're at in kentucky? enter yeah. i'm in west kentucky at the fancy pardon me -- farms picnic, the greatest kentucky tradition in politics. all the political candidates for statewide office come here to this little community in graves county, kentucky, and give old fashioned stump speeches. i've been here all week in west kentucky, and i can tell you one thing that democrats and republicans all agree on is they despise public corruption. and everyone's encouraging me and encouraging our investigation. they appreciate what we're

doing. they stand behind what we're doing because if they want to know the truth. and right now the only person, the only entity the in america that's providing the truth about the wrong doing that the bidens did is the house oversight committee because many in the mainstream media aren't. fox is doing a great job, but most of the mainstream media is not. democrats continue to walk out in front of the press and deliver a a completely false narrative. will: congressman james comer, we appreciate you bringing this to light and joining us this morning on fox and friends. rachel: ray yeah. thank you, congressman. pete: yeah. dan goldman is the adam schiff of -- remember? that's what he would do, come out and spin his own narrative. rachel: you know, he, comer, deserves a lot of credit and his committee. a lot of times politicians say we're going to do this, we're going to do that. he actually has delivered on remaining, you know, steadfast and and trying to get the information out -- president@the reason it takes so long is it was all meant to be hidden.

pete: welcome back to "fox & friends". well, the guy who used to occupy that building right there, barack obama, has a biographer who wrote a book that came out in may of 2017. ing but as he says in an interview, it didn't get a lot of attention because it was the beginning of the trump administration. so -- and, frankly, he wrote a lot of things about obama that you aren't supposed to write about. he dug into things and asked questions about his early life. well, he just did an interview with i can't remember the name of the magazine, what was it, will? rachel: tablet in. pete: the tablet. he talk talked about a lot of the things he learned about barack obama through his research and, i believe, about 8 hours of one-on-one interaction he had with obama as well. you should check out the article it because it's staggering and

fascinating expose into who barack obama is. here's the article, the obama factor, a q and a with historiar davis hansen said last night, nobody knows obama better than david gero, especially that early part of his life that we don't know much about. here's art part of what the bicycler if said about obama, he's not normal as in not a moral politician or a normal human being. now, or i don't know what normal is -- [laughter] i don't know that i would describe myself as normal or anybody. but interesting that that might be an overarching takeaway of a biographer. will: what i have come away with from this article so far is the most fascinating part, so he says obama's every bit as insecure as every other politician and compares him to trump in that way. look, obama's got this image of extreme confidence and competency, and he's extremely narcissistic and insecure. and there's the myth and then there's the reality of obama. so what's fascinating is he

writes about this, the myth began creation pretty early in obama's career, and nobody in the press was ever, ever at all interested -- pete: including colluding his first book -- will: which they say is myth making, it's not real, dreams of my father. this guy did a thousand interviews based on obama, and he said that no one was interested. no one out there is interested in the reality of who is barack obama. everybody's so invested in the myth of obama, and it sounds like partisan, you know, hackery or small stuff if you go back and say, hey, what's the truth, what's real at this point. a. rachel: right. one of the things that's kind of interesting that he talks about is obama's insecurity about his own blackness, right? that -- and one of the examples he uses is one that we can see playing out before our eyes. if he was authentically that guy from chicago, that guy that's really, truly authentically part of the black community, he wouldn't be hanging out all the time with really rich white

people which is sort of his comfort zone, right? here's something else in the article. he says the election of joe biden in 2020 gave the obamas even more reason to stay in town. the whispers about biden's cognitive decline. now, we've talked about this a lot on the show, that we believe that this is obama -- biden's election is truly obama's third term as well. will: what he's referencing is the obamas have maintained a residence in washington, d.c., and that is breaking extreme protocol meaning no one -- other presidents -- rachel: go home. will: they move out of d.c. for a variety of reasons, not least among them to not give the appearance that you're continuing to play the role of politics, because it interferes with the next one. and at first he had a daughter that was still at -- pete: that's what they said. will: -- at private school, but finished in 2019, and obama stay. and there's meetings at his house. rachel: yeah. with valerie jarrett and susan rice is and all -- pete: yeah. the biographer's pointing out

he's there to continue to exert political influence to this -- first of all, undermining donald trump through the cics a director -- rachel: john brennan. pete: -- which he writes about, but now trying to back up his buddy there, joe biden. he has best friends brace lets. rachel: we talk about john brennan and all the people involved in the russia hoax, but really the one responsible for the russia hoax, you know, that was perpetuated on really all of us, on the american people was barack obama. he stayed around in d.c. to make sure that everything went as planned in his plan to really undermine, you know, donald trump's presidency and in many ways it was like, it was like -- it was a coup of sorts. it was to say, you know, this guy isn't legitimate, and he used all the powers that he

stayed in d.c. to make sure that that happened and that donald trump -- pete: maybe the book, rising star, gets a second look. rachel: it should. will: i want to read the book. it totally went under the radar. it was ca caught up in russia collusion, think about 2007. it was donald trump 24/7. pete: but it turns out the story was this, of what was being don- will: if you're interested in the truth of what's going on and who this guy is, not just the myth -- and and i'm sure it's not all negative, or but we just have this falsehood of who obama ma -- barack obama was and what he represented. rachel: what we're seeing is that what he did was truly nefarious, and it's interesting to see who the guy really is and help explain why somebody would do something so terrible, so evil really as to try and undermine an election with donald trump. pete: well, let's shift gears and check in with chief meteorologist rick reichmuth louvre from discovery cove in

orlando, florida. rick, what are you doing? rick: i'm feeding rays, and it's not going all that well, dan. >> actually, it's going really well. the rays are having a blast. rick: they're, like, give me this food p. i've got little minnows. you call them -- >> silver sides. this is dan kaufman, you run -- >> the aquarium side of things, yep. are. rick: if you come here to discovery cove, you can actually come in and feed these an animals. >> you can feed and touch the rays. actually, you're really good apt this, rick, we've got an opening. rick: if i had been a kid and known this was a thing the i could do, this would be up on the top of the list. they're really beautiful, they're really soft or, and they like to eat. enter right. they eat fish like this, small things from the sand. and they have a lot of interesting ways of feeding. so they have got those big loaveses underneath their mouth that can flex and suck things u-
