ronald reagan was unelectable. thank you for spending part of sunday night with us. have a great week. until next week find up on the trey gowdy podcast. good night from south carolina. ) >> todd: we begin with this fox news alert, post -- hillary hammering southern california with flooding and mudslides. rescues continue with roadways still under water. some roads destroyed. this is "fox and friends first," i'm todd piro. >> carley: i'm carley shimkus. region rocked by a 5.2 magnitude earthquake yesterday. you see parents rushing to grab children and dogs as their house

shakes. state of emergency as the storm moves north. meteorologist adam klotz has the forecast. no longer a tropical storm, it is post-tropical storm phase. >> adam: yes, continuing to weaken storm, we knew this would happen. only means we lost five mile per hour wind speed temperature is down to 35 mile per hour wind speed. moisture dropping across nevada and california, that is this system, it will still cause flooding. lifting up to nevada, heaviest showers in front of this, the worst across southern california. wind totals across desert southwest, slightly higher elevation ranging from 85 mile per hour to 65 mile per hour for peak wind speeds, that is enough to do damage. rain has been the big story. rainfall totals over the last twour hours, plenty spots

getting over six inches, that is enough to cause flooding as all the water is ush aring down stream. areas in los angeles county, every green polygon is a flash flood warning. heavy showers are to the north and ground completely saturated, that rain is causing problems. more rain lifting to the north, heavy showers across nevada and northern portions of california and we could see flooding in oregon and idaho before the day is over as this system continues to drag north. flash flooding possible across the reinion through boise and montana. it will take until tomorrow morning for the system to clear off and should continue to dry air across southern california for the rest of today. this has been a big, powerful storm, there is still time to track it. if you are living there in los angeles and san diego, you are

getting the tail end of this. >> todd: i was looking at video and there are usual suspects that flood when you have a drop of rain, in a storm like this, those roads impassable and totally wiped out. thank you. >> carley: thank you much president biden will visit maui today, two weeks after the deadly wildfire engulfed parts of the island killing 114 people. the president has been vacationing in the $18 million home of tom styer in lake tahoe. >> todd: alexandria is here. >> alexandria: the white house is hoping this visit has a healing effect for the island. the president said, jill and i are eager to meet with the brave first responders in lahaina tomorrow to spend time with

families and community members. we will be here as long as it takes for maui. i ges that doesn't mean physical, the president will return to lake tahoe and back to the millionaire tom styer's home. the home was rented from the climate activist at fair market value. looking as a whole, 40% has been spent on vacation. this visit to maui is far cry from vacation. reading from the op ed, one culprit that seems to be emerging is trade off to local utility to navigate through power grid safety and government-mandated transition for government mandates over

reducing fire risk. the now downgraded tropical storm hillary will impact the president's return to -- >> todd: defense? politicizing -- if that article you pointed out turns out to be true, that is horrivee horrific. did you see this carley shimkus? you were busy watching professional preseason football this weekend. >> carley: critical games. >> todd: wild sideline brawl breaking out between the 49ers, their own fans. tell you why fists starting flying. >> carley: fan on fan crime and three years since president trump signed the ibriham accord. rabbi lakestone was a senior advisor in the trump white house

>> todd: former national governor larry hogan says he has a plan c if president biden and former president trump end up on the ballot next summer. >> no labels will get access to the ballot and offer alternative. if most voters don't want a or b, we will give them c. >> todd: many predict a third party candidate, even david axelrod said it would cut the

throat of the president's reelection campaign. >> carley: three years ago, president trump signed the abraham accord, with israel and middle east neighbors. the deal hasn't stopped president biden from criticizing his predecessor. >> president biden: not much i agree with my former predecessor on foreign policy. we are weaker, not stronger. >> carley: rabbi lakestone, senior advisor to donald trump ambassador to israel joins me now. good morning, thank you for joining us. three years since president trump announced the abraham accord. tell us what they are and why they are important in middle east and here in the u.s. >> abraham accord created new paradigm, for 40 years, premise there can be no peace in middle east until you resolve the issue

and everything was on hold and secretary kerry in his last public speech when asked, will there ever be peace in arab nation and israel, he answered no, no, no. one of my favorite clips to retweet or repost. august of 2020, president trump hosted phone call with the leaders announcing there would be a peace deal between uae and israel, first peace deal in years. bahrain, kosovo, all signed peace treaties with israel. it was unbelievable time of foreign policy success for the united states. >> carley: where do things stand now? >> it has been slow for the last three years, only deal negotiated over last three years, between iran and kingdom

of saudi arabia, should be our friend or treated like our friend and that was negotiated by the chip roy and that is challenging. >> it is challenging, you never want to hear of china taking role that the united states could. is that a good thing overall? >> net, net, yes, if iranians change their behavior. mike pompeo said we don't want anybody outside the community of nation, we like iran to participate, but they have to change things. if you look at protest in the streets and hangings, they have not changed. they are going to chase big satan, the united states. >> carley: there are reports the biden administration is pushing toward a israelis and saudi arabia deal. how do you feel about that and what needs to happen for that to

take place? >> if that can happen correctly, it would be greatest foreign policy achievement in my lifetime and we should applaud that and that is if. look in context of negotiations with iran six weeks ago, paying to free five american hostages, they are not even here yet and we paid them $6 billion. why did we do that? who was strengthened? who was weakened? money going to iran, iran and china, president biden funding both sides. you give money to iran, it is going to russia and hitting ukraine. >> carley: several years into president biden's presidency, how do you describe his foreign policy approach? what does it look like? >> looks lieb the third term of obama. we acknowledge we are the super power like president trump did, five peace treaties, lots of

stability around the world and isis on the run and marginalized and minimized and america apologizing for being the leader. that is filled by china and you wind up with iran getting stronger, china and russia and challenges that threaten americans around the world. >> carley: biggest foreign policy concern in your opinion? >> biggest foreign policy concern is whether america will project the fact it is a super power fchl it does nots, you wind up with what you have in ukraine and in the middle east with iran and kingdom of saudi arabia. if president biden is able to negotiate a deal with israel and saudi arabia, it will be the hinge of history, if he can't, it would be missed opportunity for all of us. >> carley: definitely a big topic of conversation in the

upcoming debate with the presidential candidates, as well. thank you for joining us. over to you. >> todd: could we see president biden take the stand in his son's federal tax trial? defense warned the justice department it would do that. kaylee mcgee white here to react a and did queen just cancel their own song? left off greatest hits collection and why when we come back. more shopping? you should watch your spending honey. i'm saving with liberty mutual, mom. they customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. check it out, you could save $700 dollars just by switching. ooooh, i'll look into that. let me put a reminder on my phone.

>> carley: the house oversight committee moving to obtain fresh bank records as they investigate biden family corruption.

>> todd: brooke singman has more. >> brooke: chairman james comer says additional e-mails could show how much president biden benefited. listen to this. we are about to find out if special counsel will interfere in our investigation. we are heading to court. next bank records will tell a bigger story how involved joe biden was in this biden influence pedalling scheme. wednesday of this week will be the deadline. we expect national archives to participate. >> brooke: they claim the biden family received 53 million and comer is subpoenaing records including fake names joe biden used, one was robin wehr and joe biden helped hunter biden secure his role on the board of uk ukrainian national holdings,

burisma. hunter was cc'ed on e-mails including his daily schedule showing planned meetings with ukrainian officials and comer says the e-mails helped get hunter the role. remember gary shapley, the whistleblower who talked about the years long hunter biden probe. his lawyers the collapsed plea deal confirms his client's testimony and he is warning this could happen into the investigation into the biden family deals. if it were not for the whistleblowers, hunter biden would never have been charged at all. this is exactly the preferential treatment the irs whistleblowers blew the whistle on and why someone independent needs to be

special counsel, rather than david weiss. comer thinks he will have the information by wednesday. >> todd: could be right in time for the debate. bring in kaylee mcgee white. great to see you. democrats love to always say hunter was a private citizen. then why is it included on federal government e-mails discussing ukraine policy? >> that is the million dollar question and even if it hadn't been for the evidence turned up, we wouldn't know joe biden knows more than he's letting on for two simple reasons. the first, the white house changed language on the subject from i have never had knowledge of my son's business dealings to the president has never been in business with his son, that is a

deliberate change. this is common sense. powerful foreign brokers were not forking over to the family because of crack addict who wrote off prostitutes on his tax returns. i hope committee continues work, this will keep coming up getting closer to the '24 election. >> todd: tim waltz continue to bury their head in the chris sununu. >> the bidens love their son, they know he has struggles. he is not on the ballot, joe biden's record is. let the system work. if i thought joe biden were trying to influence that, i would speak up, he hasn't done that. focus on it. >> todd: he doesn't see prove, not a strong argument when the

president uses fake names and e-mails. you are usually up to no good. >> right. that position is out of touch with what the american people are thinking. less than one third ofern ms have confidence biden's justice department is handling this investigation bo hunter biden fairly thachl is large majority of americans concerned with partisanship of the doj and cover-uptaking place. if this is message democrats want to run with in 2024, i think they will hit a real wall. >> todd: i'm excited to see the bank records that tie joe biden's bank account to foreign policy decisions. here is james comer talking more on that. >> there are some bank records that we believe will tell a big story about what level of

involvement not only joe had with the business scheme, but how he benefited from the business schemes. the biden attorneys know where we're headed with this investigation, they have lawyered up. they are building fort knox around these records. >> todd: lots of entities trying to stonewall them, if there is nothing to see, why such an effort to keep the public from seeing it? >> right sxchl why slow walk the hunter biden investigation for years at a time unless he were trying to run the clock on statute of limitations that could incriminate joe biden. this is david weiss's entire strategy. the reason the hunter biden investigation has been slow walked and reason there was diversion agreement in the sweetheart plea deal that would

have exonerated hunter biden from all crimes committed between 2014 and 2019 is because that way the clock would run out on statute of limitation for criminal behavior joe biden has allegedly been involved in. this is deliberate on part of the justice department and bravo to the whistleblowers for exposing that. we know according to "new york times," the justice department would never have pursued this case if not exposed. >> todd: the swamp protects its own. president biden could be put on the stand. that is threat if joe biden goes on the stand and forced to leave office, then you folks, doj, upper echelon, could lose your job. 20 seconds to you.

>> it is a threat, the sweetheart plea deal plays out and this information is leaked, that is not from the white house, it is from hunter biden's attorneys. the message is clear, if hunter biden is going down, joe biden is going down, too, that is the threat his lawyers are sending. >> todd: kaylee mcgee white, we appreciate it. biden harris campaign struggling to connect with voters and now a comparison white house probably won't like. he was right side up, astonishing, his numbers now look like hillary clinton 16 than biden 20, doesn't look good for him. >> carley: are democrats repeating hillary clinton's mistakes? we'll ask joe concha what he thinks coming up next.

we planned well for retirement, but i wish we had more cash. you think those two have any idea? that they can sell their life insurance policy for cash? so they're basically sitting on a goldmine? i don't think they have a clue. that's crazy! well, not everyone knows coventry's helped thousands of people sell their policies for cash. even term policies. i can't believe they're just sitting up there! sitting on all this cash. if you own a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more, you can sell all or part of it to coventry. even a term policy. for cash, or a combination of cash and coverage, with no future

>> the economy is important, two biggest issues is democracy and the abortion issue, something that should be front and center, put he seems to be campaigning in a bygone era. >> carley: columnist joe concha joans us now, good morning to you. that of graic that aired on "meet the press" shows biden's favorability numbers at -- and chuck todd said all this stuff, meaning the investigation into hunter biden is having a huge impact taking a toll on president biden. >> joe: yeah, carley, if you watch that entire segment on "meet the press," i guess we're supposed to believe democracy and airare the two biggest issues facing the country? i look at gallup, what is most important issue to you and i'm

pretty sure i don't see democracy at the top or even abortion for that matter. top issues are the economy, cr crime, immigration, education, foreign policy, you name it. i don't see any other issues near the top five. so that was disingenuous. as far as favorability, yeah, look, joe biden is somebody who ran on being the guy who would bring normalcy back to the white house, honest guy who loves his family. now we've seen that narrative fall apart in terms of the hunter biden stuff, it is not about hunter biden, it is if joe biden is compromised by china, russia, ukraine, kazakhstan, i could go through a litany of countries that is a problem not

because his son screwed up, because he helped his son in terms of influence pedalling and his influence on the border is underwater. joe biden has a record he has to run on, can't run for president by pleading the fifth in a basement. the election can't be about donald trump and how bad he is, this is a president on personal level has many problems of his own. does the country trust him at this point? >> carley: if he takes that advice the woman gave about democracy and airas opposed to the economy, where does that leave him? >> joe: not with much, issues that matter, most important when peep gel to shop at the grocery store, go to fill their gas taefrng, they don't feel safe in their community, when they don't

think their child is getting an education, we are focusing on race and gender instead of reading and writing and science and things that make our children competitive. when it comes to issues, this president probably loses based on what we've seen from the past in terms of the second coming of jimmy cartef. if it comes to donald trump legal trouble, that will be front and center and joe biden doesn't have legal problems of his own. >> todd: focus on abortion because they think that is a winner. got to leave that topic there and get your thoughts on this so i can say this line. we will, we will, woke you, headline in daily mail, queen's song "fat bottom girls" goes missing from the collection. joe, your reaction?

>> joe: you watched that movie, great portrayal of queen and how they became one of the biggest bands of the '70s. they're were politically incorrect. their producers wanted them to play it safe and the songs were off the grid, they took chances and now to see this and i don't think he would stand for this, pretty sure he wouldn't, if i believe the portrayal i saw in the movie. to say that song never existed is ridiculous. boomerang effect will be more people downloading that song before they ever would have 40 years later. go woke, or go broke. they have made millions. >> todd: this album is designed for the youth. the youth can't handle this type

of language. have you seen every other song marketed to the youth, a lot of cursing and dirty words. >> carley: from joe biden and donald trump to fat bottom girls. >> todd: if you're not first, you're last. preseason games carry a lot of weight. look at this chaotic video, brawl breaking out at niners and bro broncos. san francisco fans wailing on each other. playing out in front of three kids. won't anyone think of the children. >> joe: they are throwing hay makers. hope that man has another shirt at home. security breaking up the fight.

hopefully all was forgiven after the niners won. stupid to get in a fight at a football game, especially preseason football game. >> carley: maybe drinks were served. >> todd: alcohol, you say? >> just a thought. >> todd: biden administration quietly auctioning border wall material to stop republicans from restarting construction. where is the money going? cheryl casone is here next. >> carley: and thousands show up to see oliver anthony. we have an exclusive interview coming up next. >> everything is negative, i think people are desperate for something positive. this speaks to me all the way through, it is time for them to hear us. >> usa, usa, usa hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor?

>> carley: the biden administration is auctioning off much needed border merchandise. >> todd: cheryl casone is here with more, that is one way to do it. >> cheryl: exactly.

what a plan, right. biden administration has been selling up millions of dollars worth of border wall material, mainly steel, square, structural tubes seen in paragraphs on an online auction house. they are exposing of the material in accordance with the ballard panels and other material with property disposition issues. 81 lots of beams sold for 2 million and 13 square structural tubes will be auctioned off this week and next. ted cruz and joni ernst want to pass the finish it acts, requiring the government to use

the steel or transfer to texas to finish the wall. there is another idea here, use technology at the border, virtual border wall, the technology is there, just another thought. >> carley: one of the underreported details, president biden did buy his own border fencing, he didn't want to use trump's material. with biden's material, you can dig into it, cartel members are digging holes and getting drugs under the fence that way. structure would be great down there. finish the job. >> cheryl: we can fix it, carley. >> carley: what is going on with a possible four-day weekend? >> cheryl: this would be nice. who works 40 hours a week?

in pennsylvania, legislation would create a four-day work week, hard working individuals need more time to rest. technological advancement increase more work to be produced in less time. charlie hurt says this is not about work. >> this is not a bill for people who work. this is a bill for people who don't work, don't want to work, they are lazy and don't want to get a job. >> cheryl: has proposal would take the work week from 40 hours a week to 32 hours per qbing. >> cheryl: who still works 40 hour per week? >> todd: you can't find 40 hours to work in a week? >> cheryl: the three of us work what, 12 hours a day each?

presidential candidates set to take the stage for the first debate of the 2024 election season this wednesday. but former president trump says he will not be one of them saying, quote: the public knows who i am and what a successful presidency i had with energy independence, strong and military, biggest ever tax and regulation cuts. no inflation, strongest economy in history and much more. i will therefore not be doing the key baits. ron desantis' team has responded say nothing one is entitled to this nomination, including donald trump. you have to show up and earn it. other challengers have also weighed in. >> i expect it to be even more important without donald trump on the stage because this is the first time voters are going to be able to contrast the candidates and their positions. >> i'm actually still hoping he shows up. i think every one of us that are qualified for that debate stage ought to be on the stage, be willing to square off, answer the tough questions, and, also,

draw a bright line. >> donald trump is afraid to go on the debate stage and answer for being a proven loser. >> i think donald trump is free make whatever decision he feels is right for him for the first couple of debates. >> g.o.p. voters join us now. call kelvin, you heard the candidates way in on donald trump not weighing in on the debate. what say you? >> i understand where they are coming from. running for u.s. senate here in georgia, mr. walker didn't attend the primary debates either. i think that hurt him. i think that voters want to see the authentic responses from these candidates when they're standing next to their opponents. i president donald trump is thinking there no upside that is a risk to be willing to be taken by him in support of the voters. >> carley: a lot going on in your home state of georgia with the recent indictment and former governor chris christie meeting

with the current governor of that state. christina, with all of that in mind as back drop, what will you be watching for on wednesday? >> if i had a magic wand, what i would like to see is that all of the candidates, they are united because we are fighting the other side. >> so, i wish that everyone will play fair and they will fight fair. and i hope that they don't attack one mother and i just hope that it really shows the voters why we need to trust a new president, if you will. and the last administration with president trump i don't feel like it's necessary for him to necessarily participate in the first debate. we already know what his accomplishments are and what is expected of him. and i don't think he has from the presidency. >> todd: brian, the question to you now on thursday after the debate.

who will be talking about as the breakthrough candidate and why? >> sure. i think nikki haley and tim scott have the opportunity to breakthrough on the debate stage. not necessarily as presidential candidates but to show why they would be the best possible vp nominee. vivek is the guy i'm going to be watching. i was with him last week in the united states fair. abolishing the fbi, abolishing the department of education. is he just not all talks. he cited u.s. code and legislation why he would support that i think we will be watching him. obviously desantis is the candidate of the night that gets bashed and bashed and bashed. that will be his chance to flip that around and get poll numbers through the roof. if he fails again wednesday night, this could be the nail in the campaign coffin and see the end of the desantis campaign. we will see what happens. >> carley: kelvin, quickly to you we have about 15 seconds left. actually, just give your overall thoughts, who are you most excited to see on the debate stage. >> at this point, i think that

vice president mike pence has a chance to stand out amongst his competitors only because he is the only one on the stage has been in the trenches with donald trump. pete voters want people willing to fight and carry the flag on their behalf. this is the opportunity to fail or to float. we shall see. >> carley: we shall see 9:00 p.m. on wednesday. "fox & friends" starts right now. thank you, guys. >> this is unprecedented weather event. >> tropical storm hilary is unleashing heavy rainfall is unrine in california right now. >> we are in the desert, where are we going to go. >> under a flash flood warning. >> it's a touchy situation right now. >> president biden cutting short his vacation in lake ha te'o who he to travel to maui to speak with it to voters. >> i would encourage the president to see the pain and grie
