had a vaccine, or plan to. thanks to skyrizi, there's nothing like clearer skin and better movement... and that means everything. ♪nothing is everything♪ now's the time to ask your doctor about skyrizi. learn how abbvie could help you save. rachel: we're back with a fox hurricane alert. hilary barreling towards mexico and the southwest u.s. where people are bracing for the category one hurricane to bring once in a century flooding. pete: california governor gavin newsom declaring a state of emergency for southern california where some areas are being ordered to evacuate. the region under its first ever tropical storm the warning as locals rush to stock up on supplies and brace for a possible disaster. >> i am a little bit worried about, like, the freeways and

the accidents from hydroplaning. last time we got some big rain, the 78 got closed down. >> people are afraid to come out, you know? that's not usual californians. will: diss disneyland resorts is planning to close early today while universal studios says they'll monitor the situation closely. let's turn to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth. are. rick: that's probably a good call with disney, to be honest. it's going to be really windy. right here is kind of the center of the storm, but you see a lot of energy to the knot of it. sill to the south of it. we're going to have a lot of moisture for the next 3-4 days, so we'll keep rain in the forecast for quite a while. as you just mentioned, tropical storm warning in effect for los angeles, that has never happened before. and this is one of the wind gust forecasts. take a look at this. you've got some winds that are probably 60-80 miles an hour across the mountains to the east of san diego area. this is to start the day today. i by this afternoon, really

windy conditions spreading out across much of interior sections of california. coastal areas probably in that 20-30 mile-an-hour range. mayben san diego a little bit more than that. by term most of the win is gone, but we'll see some of the moisture stick around, and some of the rainfall totals are going to be ec treatment -- extreme. coachella valley, maybe 2-3 inches, the heaviest in the higher elevations. some of those spots maybe 10 inches of water, and all of that water is going to rush down across the lower elevations and that's why we're concerned about flooding. this is going to stretch across death valley where they'll probably see record-breaking rainfall, maybe towards the vegas area. a lot of people getting in on this storm across a pretty populated area. exactly who gets the the rain, really difficult to say, everybody needs to be prepared for it. rachel: thank you, rick. it's a gooded idea to close disney. i was just thinking how hard it is to do disney with kids and then rain? yeah, good idea to close it.

pete: we move now to the 2024 race, and one of the things in politics these days is how us from -- we've seen it since 2016, how frustrating and lift it is to run against donald trump. especially when you see the amount of support he has, the way he connects with his voters and supporters, and if you're running against him in a primary and you're trying to chip away at that support while also not disrespecting those supporters, it's a tap dance that few candidates have done well, and in this cycle no one really has. unless you try to run like him as vivek ramaswamy has. rachel: correct. pete: so ron desantis, who started strong with his numbers and has faded as he's, as the campaign has gone on, remember that deplorables moment that hillary clinton had and we had, you know, chumps, i can't remember who called trump supporters chumps -- rachel: i think that was biden, wasn't it? pete: most of those are democrats. in this case, ron desantis when doing an interview with

"the florida standard" expressed, you can tell, the frustration he has in his campaign with not being able to chip away at that trump support and used a phrase that's now being compared to deplorables in that interview. see if you can see it. watch. >> i think that we, we have a strand in our party that the views supporting trump as whether you are a rino or not. so you could be the most conservative person since sliced bread with, unless you're kissing his rear end, they will somehow call you a rino. so it's been totally detached from principle and what you actually believe in results, and it's more about a, you know, just what faction you happen to be. ultimately, a movement can't be about the personality of one individual. the movement has got to be about what are you trying to achieve on behalf of the american people, and that's got to be base in principle because -- based in principle because if you're not rooted in principle, if all we are is listless

vessels that's just supposed to follow whatever comes down to pike on truth social every morning, that's not going to be a durable movement. rachel: listless vessels was the key word, also kissing trump's rear. sounds like ron desantis has been happening out with a lot of his donors. by way, carolyn leavitt, the spokesperson for make america great again, her statement is to hillary clinton trump supporters are deplorables, to ron desantis they are listless vessels. the truth is trump supporters are patriots. ron desantis is showing his true colors. the pressure of polling in the third place is getting to desantis, and now he's lashing out at the very same voters who got him elected governor. desantis must immediately apologize for his disgraceful insult. will: i want to be completely fair when i try to assess this. i think the ron desantis in that clip in the beginning was

making, i think, some very fair points in that the definition of a rino is not whether you are pro-trump or anti-trump, it is about principles, and i do believe the party should be centered around principles. i don't think those principles necessarily make you anti-trump. and that ron desantis has to be the only standard bearer of principles. there are many candidates, including donald trump, that i think embody what is today the principles of the conservative movement. or the conservative populist movement or the national -- rachel: america first. will: -- america first movement. and i think he makes a misstep -- everyone makes a misstep when you start attacking people. voters, that's the bottom line. and, honestly, that's been my response to the oliver anthony thing as well. you're attacking -- forget the song, you're attacking people. he's talking about people, americans. rachel: i think two things are happening, and i'll try and make it brief. one, i think candidates make mistakes when they're under

pressure. and so i think what you saw there is a guy who's under a lot of pressure. there's a lot of donors a lot of people who put their hopes in desantis as the way to get rid of trump. and if it's just not working out. he's urn a a lot of pressure from very powerful people who want him to win. the other thing i think, and this is the thing nobody's talking about. i tried to bring this up a little bit yesterday as welch -- as well. 2024 is also about 2020 and russia hoax 2016. and i think whether the donors, whether the democrats, the media, the rinos, whoever, what they don't realize is that the gop voter is traumatized by what happened. and i think they, you know, it sounds pentty to say it's a revenge -- petty to say it's a revenge vote. they're really afraids there is there is a two-tieredded system, that the system is rigged, you can have the government and big

tech and intelligence agencies working together to suppress information that's relevant to an election. that is what this is about. pete: that's why i agree, will, it should be about principle, but it's a a lot about a person right now because of what has been done to him as a symbol of this movement. if you decide you want to move away from that or pick a more principled conservative person, you're basically in some ways buying into the idea that the targeting worked, that donald trump should walk away, that our elite media should pick candidates, the justice department should pick candidates. so there's a lot of, hey, i'm digging my heels in on trump -- will: because he's become a symbol. pete: that doesn't mean that he's the movement. the only part of the movement. will: right. pete: there will be the 2.0, 3.0. this reminded me of desperation. i was in minnesota when might be to owe first start attacking trump over the hand stuff, do you remember that? i was there there covering it. and he -- it was, you could tell on stage it was almost

cathartic, finally, i'm just going to unload on trump. it backlashed right back at him, and i think there comes a point where if you're frustrated as a candidate, your poll numbers are going down, okay, we're going to go at trump. it's cathartic, but it's not going to help you in the primary. rachel: i think that's part of it, but it's so much deeper. think of it like, you know, everybody's talking about this national divorce, right in the situation that we feel in this can country, this deep division. think of it as a marriage. it's like you have a big with problem, and what everyone wants to do is lift up the rug and if shove the problem under the rug and think that this marriage is going to work. and the point is we gotta deal with what happened in 2020 and russia hoax, you know, 216 and the fact that there is a deep state that is trying to, as you said, pete, pick candidates for us and rig elections through what we're, you know, rigging

it9 with the media, rigging it, hover however you want to say it. but it doesn't, it didn't feel right, and i think there's a lot of people who aren't to move on. and the candidates who are willing to deal with that are the ones -- pete: sure. rachel: everyone needs to look forward. well, we can't. we've got to deal with what happened. will: this is what desantis' press secretary had to say on x. the dishonest media refuses to report the fact saying they're talking not about the voter, but the candidate. but why? because trump and d.c. insiders feel he's entitle to your vote? ron desantis believes your trust should be earned and has the vision, plan and record to beat joe biden and reverse the decline of our country. that's why ron desantis will be showing up on wednesday night to debate and donald trump will not. pete: interesting. they're digging in, effectively. i just think it's the wrong moment. like sometimes it's just not the moment. will: pete, you're going to be hosting, i think i will be joining you on wednesday night -- pete: yes with.

we're going to be there in milwaukee, we're doing a preshow before, then you all are going to watch the debate unfold. in fact, even in the commercial breaks i'm going to run from the debate hall into the spin room, and we're going to analyze as quickly as we can, in five minutes. if you don't want to watch the commercials, come over to us real quick on fox nation, we'll give you some analysis, and after the debate as well. rachel: i think sean duffy is going to be on as well. pete: he is. rachel: i'll be moving kids into a college dorm room that night. pete: oh, really in because i did ask for you -- [laughter] rachel: i know you did. i have higher duties. pete: you do. will: as you might have noticed yesterday, pete and i took off all our clothes and finished the navy seal swim helping raise money for members of the navy seal foundation including active duty veterans and their families. here's what you may have missed if you weren't watching on saturday. here we go, this is the warmup. 1-mile run.

first leg. >> it looks like he beat out pete, so props to will. will, how you doing? how's the water out there? will: it's a little chilly. no, it's good. the current's strong. coming across you. we did well. it was fun. we're looking for pete. >> pete hegseth completed the first -- pete: holy cow! glory to god. god bless the navy seals. rachel: let's check in with pete and will. they're on the sec leg of that journey right now. >> statue of liberty to el sis island are, another -- ellis island, another three-quarter mile swim. rachel: will cain just finished the second leg of the navy seal swim and pete coming in behind him. >> here he is. first words out of the water, how you feeling? >> whoo. this guy's fast. ♪ will: last leg, mile and a half, to manhattan to the 9/11 memorial -- >> that, let's go!

[laughter] i mean, he kind of ducked out of the beers afterwards, so that was disappointing, but that's all right. of he had family duties. pete: how do you feel this morning? will: i feel pretty good. i've got a few places where i can feel it. rachel: more tomorrow? will: i'm usually the guy not the day after, i mean, the day

after the day after. pete: i feel horrible. i feel like i was in a car accident. and will's, like, let's to do it again next year. i'm, like, no. rachel: there was all these shots of -- it was like raining men. [laughter] and we were just loving it all back here at the studio. i had so many women tweeting at me saying come back to the navy seals -- [laughter] segments. we were enjoying it. a couple questions for you, one, did you taste the water? will: it's unacked voidable -- unavoidable. it's more mental. i've done it twice, meaning once i did it kind of as a practice. like, that night i felt like i had a sore throat. pete: it's brach withish and gross and salty. will: i'm sure i don't have a sore throat. rachel: the point is it's just interesting that, you know, this river is here, and they want to, you know, shut down, you know, gas stoves.

it's, like, clean up the damn river before you start changing all of our lives, right in so you guys can swim across -- will: some of the camera guys, you're kind of glowing green today. [laughter] rachel: exactly. aoc, clean up your river. will: i know we both feel this way, you and i are just dudes. these other guys, these are america's elite warriors and it is humbling, not just to be on tv shirtless around them -- rachel: y'all did fine in that department. pete: that definitely was the biggest ethos takeaway. but also, listen are, it was not a race -- [laughter] rachel: no, that's only because you lost, and now you're turning it not into a a race -- rachel: how did water polo help? will: a ton. pete: we would jump in together, and then he was, like, he's just going. will: he beats me at everything else, i'm made for the water. back to america's elite warriors, this is who it's about, those navy seals.

and it was also nypd, tour department,ing marine raiders, army, special forces, all these guys yesterday, but this was all to support the navy seal foundation. >> you can as well navy seal foundation/donate. we did, each station we did 100 push-ups and 22 pull-ups, the 22 pull-ups signifies those who take their lives every day. of. rachel: what does the navy seal foundation do? pete: they also support active duty as well. it's the next chapter of purpose, connecting them up with other navy seals, making sure they're physically, emotionally, spiritually taken care of. when you leave that team room, stipes you disconnect and trying to reconnect them. rachel: well, it's an amazing foundation, ask you guys represented well, an amazing feat. will: thank you. rachel: we're going to turn now to your headlines. texas police arresting the suspect in the sexual assault

will: the national archiveses and records administration may

not be living up to its mission of transparency as critics say the agency has shifted politically. for example, in 2021 they adopted these harmful language alerts warning readers of racism and triggering words in documents like the constitution -- [laughter] rachel. rachel: yeah. that's so triggering. and then in 2022 # it was their involvement in trump's document case that ultimately led to the raid e on mar-a-lago. and now this thursday house oversight committee chairman james comer requested unredacted e-mails to or from then-vice president biden and his son hunter on anything related to ukraine and burisma. but he hasn't heard or back yet. if here to discuss is founder and editor of compact magazine. s work hra ab, welcome. will: great to see you. rachel: all right. is so let's talk about this, because the national around kentuckys should just be about archiving our documents and providing then when the representatives or the people

can for them, and they have. what right do they have to hold on to these documents? or redact them such that they are meaningless? >> well, you know, first of all, about the trigger alerts, you can roll your eyes when you see that on a college syllabus, but here it's a matter of being able to access records. historians should be able to access things because they're grown-ups and they can deal with harmful language. but the more, i mean, deeper point is that this institution, like everything else, has become deeply polarized and politicized. and so it seems like it's become part of the operation to nail trump and trumpians as well, to be kind of resistant to house efforts to, you know, get to the bottom of the hunter story, especially the hunter-ukraine affair which has always been the weakest kind of part of the biden corruption story. it's the most important, acute part of that story. will: yeah. not to bite off more than we can chew i in the one question, but to your point, the specifics of

withholding this redacted information that could impact in a serious way a congressional investigation, and then there's the larger point that you're making which it's just yet another institution. what institution within the united states government hasn't seemed to have taken on some type of partisan position? >> even the military, which is always the one that's brought up as one that we can all trust in a bipartisan way, has become super politicized. this is an age of turmoil, and i think this is a symptom of that. and one party that is really the party of government and another party that's much weaker, all it has is congressional hearings -- will: from the doj to the fbi, to the military, to the national archives. rachel: and, by the way, congress has more than hearings. they have the power of the purse. we covered this story a little bit. why don't we shut, close it, close it down until they agree to do what they're supposed to do, cut off all their salaries? i don't know what has to happen, but we can't allow bureaucrats

to run our government when we have elected officials. >> there's another deeper tragedy or failure here which is how to deal with big tech. the reason the hunter story was suppressed when it really mattered was because not just government, but a lot of our corporations now are deeply politicized as welch and -- as well. and congress used to talk about reform with big tech. that, unfortunately, has gone away. will: that's an unholy alliance, big government and and big tech. you have a new book called tyranny inc. out about not just government, as you point out, but how private enterprise crushed american liberty. what do you talk about it in tyranny inc.? >> it's just about the coercion that americans increasingly face. we're used to thinking of it as only what government does, but now increasingly we face politicized coers from big business as well like big tech censorship which is a problem that hasn't gone away. okay, maybe twitter has changed a little bit, but there's many other platforms, and basically a

few oligarchs, and i argue we don't needed to do anything radical in order to change this, all we have to do is go back to the american tradition. so, for example, justice clarence thomas, no leftist, has argued that we should apply the common carrier dock transcribe -- doctrine to big tech, right? your phone company cannot censor you based on what you say on the phone. a rail transport company can't do that. we need to apply that to banks and big tech as well so americans aren't un-personned from the financial system or from the perspective by corporate power. will: yeah. we've begun to understand the different between capitalism and corporatism, therefore, its effect. it needs regulation within america. rachel: yeah, absolutely. will: all right. tyranny inc., thank you so much. >> thank you both. rachel: thank you. all right, straight ahead, a fox weather hurricane alert, hilary expected to hit the u.s. just hours from now as warnings grow for possible catastrophic

courting the spotlight. you show up with a fox flag on your microphone and a camera, and it wasn't too hard to talk to oliver anthony? >> reporter: well, you're right, will. i mean, he didn't really come across as somebody that wanted media attention, and to my knowledge, he hasn't done any on-camera interviews since he's become a sensation here in the last couple weeks, but we just hung around long enough, and they got comfortable with us. and in a moment he kind of was there and i was there, and i just said, oh, hey, why'd you write that song, and then he was willing to today there and talk for 101 or 15 minutes with us and -- 10 or 15 minutes, and his people as well are so nice. a young man named drayvom wright put that up on his youtube channel, and he said i'm just a guy sent me a tape of this guy, and i knew there was something special about him. a a guy drove from west virginia to see him, and that's how they made the tape, and that's how all this started. will: nice job, griff.

rachel: there used to be a time when there used to be a place like rolling stone that went out. it looks like griff went out, but they're too busy -- pete: yeah. number one song in the world -- rachel: exactly. they're too busy criticizing it instead of actually going and experiencing it with the people that he's writing it for. >> reporter: great point, rachel. we actually met a rolling stone writer was there. we'll see what they write about this. rachel: okay. well, i stand corrected. >> reporter: more of this interview coming later in the show, guys. rachel: all right. still ahead, bidenomics in a nutshell. republicans are blasting president biden for selling off parts of the border wall. the open border plan coming up. pete: and america rides, the 9/11 foundation just ended their annual ride right here on fox square, and they're coming up next. ♪ funny how the world keeps turning. ♪ look, ma, no hands. ♪ i love this american ride ♪

i'll start with you, lexie. what does this ride mean to you in. >> oh, wow, that's a great question. this ride means a lot to me. i grew up in this. my family started this november of 2001 when they and 300 bikers rallied in front of the u.s. white house and proceeded back to new york city, and we've done it every year since. so i grew up in this. and i'm 23 now, and i have an understanding that most girls my age don't have. rachel: very true. will: and so, eric, describe for us, i guess, how you raised lexie. you guys do what every year on your motorcycles? >> oddly enough, i'm the only gentleman on the ride that doesn't ride a motorcycle. my ride's an f-350 because if anybody breaks down, we don't leave 'em behind, we pick them up, we've got mechanics in the ride, we get 'em fixed. and so it's all about supporting all the first responders that we have represented here. will: yeah. >> it's just an amazing, amazing thing to remember and honor the 9/11 victims and heroes.

pete: absolutely. you stop at all those sites, even go through todd beavers' hometown, one of the flight attendants -- >> very emotional going through that town. pete: it must be. roger, talk us to -- to us about what you do. >> we do college scholarship programs for active first responders, give away 15 $32,000 psychological -- 2,000 scholarships a year, and we also award one of our police officer's departments a police motorcycle for their work in the coming to keep us and all the other motorists on the highway safe. rachel: it's amazing how sharp everyone looks. we were inside seeing the shot from up above, and it was just amazing. you bring up such a great point, people watching may assume that children are being taught about nerve in their schools -- 9/11 in their school, and they're not. how much of the awareness and what is the reaction from other young people to what you are

doing? >> so that's a great question. i mean, of course, i went to a school where in high school it was mentioned but never really dived into. and i went to college and studied foreign affairs so, of course, we talked about it at length. but the average 23-year-old, oh, yeah, that happened. pete: yeah. >> but to me, it's very real, you know in i've met people who who survived the powers, first responders to flight 99 3, you know, family members aboard flight 93, first responders to the pentagon. those people are like my family. all of these officers around here, they're my family. i've grown up with them. they literally watched me grow up and, you know, all their stories have become my stories x. that's why we do what we do, to never forget. will: it's a beautiful image on your it's screen. i don't know how many pikes -- bikes that is -- enter we've got about 37 police officers which is less than half of the escorting officers we had this year. we had 87 officers from over 35 jurisdictions escort the ride

from all three crash sites. and just to mention on on the foundation trailer that you took a lot of, on the other side is the 2,977 names of the victims and is heroes of 9/11. and as we travel around the country with that trailer, i am introduced to people that know people on there, and that's what our goal is. as long as we know about these people and can talk about them, then they'll never be forgotten. they may be gone, but they'll never be forgotten. pete: absolutely. will: appreciate all of you guys back here so much. pete: thank you, guys. will: america's 911 foundation.org. roger, eric, lexie. >> i would also like to thank all the chiefs responsible for allowing their officers to come and join us. will: there you go. ray absolutely. [laughter] >> and a shout-out to this year's department, karma, ohio, won the new bike. pete: there we we go. [applause] will: nice. >> they were actually a rookie

department. their chief is with them the, came with them to make sure they behaved and all that.
