we're responding fully. and our priority is on providing every assistance possible. >> investigators are looking into what caused the aircraft to crash. this is a developing sorry. we'll bring you updates throughout the morning. god bless those three marines. we think of those hurt and nothing routine ever when you're operating on behalf of the country. >> we'll keep up-to-date on that throughout the morning. the new york post revealing that biden staffers met with special counsel jack smith's aides before indicting former president trump. >> he denied he was involved in the justice department's decision to indict trump. we have more from washington. >> this report indicates the meetings began in 2021 when former do president donald trump was talking about the return of

the documents to the archives. according to the new york post, jay bragg who joined the special counsel team took a t meeting in 2023 with the deputy chief of staff for the white house counsel's office. nine weeks later he was indicted on june 8th of 2023. looking at the time line, he had two white house meetings in '21, he joined jack smith's special counsel team and attended another meeting, nine weeks later the indictment came for former president trump and at that point president biden says the white house had no involvement. >> you notice, i have never once, not one single time suggested to the justice department what they should or should not do relative to bringing a charge or not bringing a charge, i'm honest. >> the same sentiment was shared for the raid of

mar-a-lago which the white house press secretary said the white house had no prior knowledge of what happened. take a listen. >> the president and the white house learned about the search from public reports, just like the american public did yesterday and we did not have advanced notice of this activity. president biden has been very clear from before he was elected president and throughout his time in office that the justice department conducts its investigations independently. >> there's a big but here, the group america first legal revealed a freedom of information request should turn up documents showing the the fbi had gone through a special access request from the biden white house to gain access to the trump records prior to the raid. senior counsel for the group wrote evidence suggests that the nonpartisan national archives and records administration misled congress about the biden white house's responsibility for the raid of former president trump's home, the evidence suggests biden officials in the executive office, the president

and a department of justice unlawfully abused their power and lied about it to the american people. i want to mention the fbi declined comment for the new york post story. guys. >> thank you, alexandria. on one hand it's not surprising. it's intuitive that the biden administration, the white house would know and perhaps help coordinate not just a raid on mar-a-lago but the supposedly independent special counsel into the investigations around president trump. but on the other hand it's also while surprising still outrageous because of course they deny it and here they are potentially caught in another lie about their involvement but this undercuts the entire idea that the department of justice remains independent. it clearly confirms our suspicion that's it is not. but it's just not the way this was intended to operate. rachel: the question is, do people really care? i mean, i care. i know other people who are conservatives who care. but it just seems like for at least half the country or at least a portion of the country

they're like we don't like donald trump, whatever it takes, just go get him and then there's an indifference which i think back on the interview i just had with shi ban fleet and her saying -- you know, she's sounding the alarm, she lived through the communist revolution, watched the opposition become imprisonnd add dissipate away until mao was able to consolidate power. she's saying can't you see this is where you guys are heading, this is not -- this is communism. >> it's hard to see where we're headed because we're always trying to play catchup with connecting the dots of something that's already happened and the implications we're living with so we're told by joe biden and merrick garland time and time again there's been been zero coordination. i thought about what tony bobulinski said, he said plausible deniability. he said it was the ability to

have hands off and say we weren't a part of it. joe can say i didn't direct merrick garland because he didn't meet directly with jack smith. we know how it works. this is the deputy white house chief of staff for counsel, so a top lawyer in the white house meeting with an aide, presumably a rank and file person from the special prosecutor's office. what are they talking about? we don't know. but presumably that's the easiest way, hands off way to director coordinate if you want to and we learned this how? because we finally get access to white house visitor logs so we know that meeting happened so it's hard -- do people out there care? yes. but what can you do about snit you feel like it's baked into the cake. rachel: there's never any consequences. nobody from the russia hoax -- we had to piece these things together. it took a long time for everyone to get it together. nobody faced consequences, the people who lied, the people who had illegal meetings, people who

were text and saying all these things that implicated them, they got jobs at cnn and msnbc. >> we had the conversation. we don't need to belabor it. we had a conversation about what the casual person, what the casual observer takes from not just the investigations into president trump but also into joe biden. i think it's hard -- it's important to look into what does the casual person think because they wield so much power. they show up for every four year cycle vote and i think the casual observer focuses on their home, family, church and business and they don't live day-to-day with politics and they get a sense of things that washes over them and i think they get fatigued of all the battle over president trump. i also -- when you were talking, do they get fatigue with the mounting scandal around joe biden, and i'm not sure there is

a tit-for-tat or an even split on that but i think there is fatigue with joe biden on the general sense of incompetence and sense of malaise. >> how it affected their own lives. >> back to things that are closer to home to them. do you see what i'm saying? >> it's a good question. i think we got a little glimpse into it with the mug shot, i think we've got a graphic. you get this mug shot which if you're not -- i don't care if you're trying not to pay attention, you've seen the image at this point. a lot of people are reacting. it raised $7.1 million after the mug shot including merchandise on the website, they realize that the more the deep state, the more the democrats come after him, the more it solidifies his support as well and that came across in money also. rachel: the the word that came -- you said the casual observer. and i do think that it's what shi van fleet was saying, there's a casualness that we're taking this, that we're

normalizing things that were not once normal, going after your political opponent, make questioning things if you're a republican, you can do it if you're a democrat. all of that is interesting. we talked about oliver anthony and his song. why is that resonating? he said it's not political. but it is interesting that whether the rich man from richmond, the people in d.c., they go after coal miners in west virginia, but guess what, they also go after real estate developers from manhattan. so there is something happening in the country and i think there's a casualness with which we -- which i am very concerned about. >> i will tell you one revelation that did i think reach the casual observer is covid. i think the masks, the vaccine, the shutdowns, that reached the casual observer to an extent where it opened some eyes and i will say there are reports that

it's coming back. there are reports that masks are headed back this fall. joe biden, we could play a clip, there's a clip from the last day or two, joe biden saying we're working on a new vaccine and he said in the clip, that works which is tacit admission of the previous vaccine. >> i heard a lot of people who were not politically oriented that were talking about this, really masks, are you hearing this. rachel: are they saying they will resist or civilly disobey if they're mandated. >> certainly a lot more of that. >> i think there's disbelief. rachel: like are you kidding? [laughter] >> talking about -- speaking of casual observers, i think one of the moments people may have popped into politics was the fox news debate last week, let's take a look at the candidates, i'm hearing some of their names. how did they perform. one was vivek ramaswamy, who came out hard, a lot of guns were blazing for him and a he made a lot of waves. coming out of that debate he was in iowa and a made a suggestion

about one of the advisors he would like to talk to if he were to become president. here's what vivek said. >> many people in my campaign right now, in our growing team, kind of like a company, short lived, 18 months or so until we get to the election from when we start, are still outsiders, many of them are outsiders to politics and a i think that's a good thing. people i meet growing up within politics, the more i think that's a decision we made. i want to take my approach to the federal government the same way. we'll have some people who come from within who are open minded but a good number of people who bring a blank slate. elon musk, i expect him to be an interesting advisor of mine. because he laid off 75% of the employees at twitter. i want to lay off 75% of the employees at the federal government and the effectiveness went up. rachel: it's an interesting thing he said, especially since

elon musk i believe endorsed desantis and desantis launched his campaign on twitter spaces. so i remember that kind of chaotic campaign launch. some people loved it. some people thought it was a fail. but -- but in any case, elon tipped his hat towards desantis but commented that he thought vivek did a great job. .>> did he say i want to lay of 75% of federal employees too. rachel: who? >> vivek. rachel: yeah. >> i love that idea. rachel: the way to get rid of the deep state is to get rid of the unionized federal workers. you have to be able to fire them. >> it should not be constitutional that government is on both sides of the bargaining table with unionized employees of the federal government. rachel: 100%. >> that's something the next republican should take on. 12 minutes after the top of the

hour. in a fox news exclusive, ukraine's former prosecutor viktor shokin claimed hunter biden was recruited by burisma to provide protection for illegal activities. the founder and ceo started bringing in people to provide protection for him. hunter biden was among them. and the corruption network expanded as a result. so, yes, to answerer question, there's no doubt in my mind that burisma was engaged in illegal activities. >.>> sho oki nsaid he was firet the assistance of joe biden. climate czar john kerry is called a tyrant on social media for scolding climate change critics saying they threaten humanity with their skepticism. listen. >> they flatly deny what is happening to our planet and what

we must do to save it so now humanity is threatened by humanity itself. >> is he in a climate church? look at the backdrop. dr. jordan peterson saying he's right but he's the humanity that's the threat. they did not respond to fox news request for comment. we want to wish a happy 70th anniversary to marlene and richard from north saint paul, minnesota. the couple are high school sweethearts, got married in 1953. they have five children, all raised in my hometown of forest lake, minnesota, now at 90 years old, they're still going strong, have nine grandsons and eight great grandchildren and a dog named cody. 70 years of marriage. consicongratulations. rachel: beautiful bride, look

some accountability with lloyd austin. >> there has to be accountability. look, in my 308 years around -- 30 years around t military i ner witnessed a secretary of defense putting politics over the national security than secretary austin and he along with his administration have destroyed parts of the military history, culture, troop morale and destroyed our readiness around the world and secretary austin's role in the surrender of afghanistan was the complete dereliction of his duties so he should be held accountable. we abandoned americans and left war time allies behind and put troops in danger so he bears responsibility for the unnecessary death of the 13 service members, those wounded and in addition to 200 civilian lives at the gate that day and as part of the endless list of decisions that he put political

agendas over our national security while in office as secretary of defense and he should be held accountable. i applaud congressman mills for doing this, he's an example of the new, fresh congressmen who came in to do the right thing and i'm happy he's doing this. >> you are not the only ones. gold star father mark schmidt, the father of lance corporal jared schmidt said this yesterday on the program. >> it's despicable. there's more and more evidence to the contrary, the mistakes they made are definitely coming to light. to make these kind of mistakes and have your job at the end of the day, this guys should have resigned. i'm concerned the generals didn't slap the stars on the table and resign before this happened and now they'll face the consequences. we won't stop fighting until we get the accountability we deserve and the rest of the

veterans that served in the 20 year war deserve as well. everyone there did a wonderful job but leadership failed them. >> to this day, i think no one lost their job, no one has been held accountable, only lieutenant colonel sheller who criticized leadership lost their job. >> exactly. exact. exactly. the white house claimed a victory. how is there a victory? the withdrawal should not have happened. i know that's not a popular opinion. having 2500 troops in the most strategic place on the globe, to remove that was a mistake, we were supporting and advising the afghan army with the national community and it was working. we should not have left. we have troops in japan to keep the southeast asia area of the world to be secure and making the decision to pull out was a mistake. for the white house to give the

operation from the department of defense to the state department created a scenario that caused 13 service members their lives. somebody should be held accountable. in any area of life when there's mission tail your people are -- failure, people are held accountable, much less the loss of innocent lives and 13 service members killed and so many troops were put in continue jeer, so many were -- put in danger, so many were injured. we had 40 million afghans left to live under the rule of the taliban, women and girl are enslaved every day because of the decision. in response to the 13 service members, secretary austin is responsible and should be healtd accountable for it. >> an entire louisiana town is under evacuation orders. we're tracking the latest.

let's turn to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for the forecast. >> it is a lot. the drought that's going on exacerbated the problem, maryville is the town, in the southwestern area of louisiana. you see the drought that's going on here. we talked about texas this summer because it's been so hot but louisiana's been dealing with the exact same pattern. in fact, we have broken high temperature records across louisiana. what would normally be a rainy season has not happened. we have the highest categories of drought across parts of texas and louisiana. that's why we've got all of this fire threat. we have heat advisories in effect again for another day. we are about to see a bit of a break. yesterday, dallas got to 109, today to 98. we'll see high temperature drop a little bit tomorrow. it's still really hot but it's improved. generally this time of year you can start to see tropical

systems or tropical moisture. we had a tropical storm make landfall, harold earlier this week across far texas, that brought relief. we're watching tropical depression 10. it's going to pull off towards the north. it's not going to bring relief across parts of texas but it will bring moisture. it's a separate story. maybe a strong hurricane making landfall sometime tuesday, wednesday, across parts of florida. you needs to watch this very carefully. rachel, over to you. rachel: thank you, rick. for 16 years form a form espn reporter had a dream job before sparking a fire storm over remarks criticizing the company's vaccine mandate. she said she received retaliation and is speaking out. >> i didn't know what the line was, until i knew, until it was

corporate america, medical profession, in the church, there are very few people willing to stand for what is right but sage is one of those, she is someone i go to for advice, she is someone who inspires me to keep going. we need more people like sage and if i was a woman working at espn, especially in light of how they approached t women's sports issue, i would walk out. rachel: she's an incredible woman. i met her early in my career as well and have been just in awe of what she's accomplished and especially what she did in this case. enes, you did something similar. what did you think? >> you know, being a professional sports player for lots of years, i know firsthand she is fearless, she's amazing for what she's doing and she's one brave woman and i applaud the work, trying to hold people

accountable. unfortunately, the cancel culture is real in the sports word and you can't -- sports world and you can't say what you feel or you'll get canceled. it's hard for athletes to come out and say something because you'll lose endorsement deals, lose money and stuff so i just want to say like i applaud her work and i think what she's doing is amazing because she's become a role model for athletes that want to say something. rachel: i want to play another clip from the interview. here's one of her talking about her love for america. >> for you, one thing is true, stand up for your beliefs, and you also love your country. >> yeah. sorry. i don't know -- that's a bad thing these days. i'm over it. for so many years i was quiet. i was that disease of being a pleaser, i would get quiet

because i was afraid to a ruffle feathers. i was a hypocrite to my kids who were watching closely. it was time. i have a very strong faith, one that i kept private for a long time. nor more for that. -- no more for that i wouldn't be standing here without god and my faith for him and my family. rachel: those words have to resonate with you. you've been such a role model to so many people, standing up for women and women's rights in sports. what did you think, her faith, her family, is that what got you through too. >> absolutely. let me say, i love how she mentioned she was being a pleaser. i think that's really important, especially for us as women. we tend to be. we tend to be more come be emoty apologetic. i felt like i had to add a here to the guidelines and use the pronouns and all a of that

nonsense so that first and foremost but secondly her faith. i love that she mentioned that, it's not talked about enough and me personally as a christian, that's what this is. these battles that i'm facing, that sage has faced, they're spiritual battles and so for her to take a strong stand and her faith as well as loving her country which, again, those two things, how can they be controversial? it's really amazing and again, we don't see enough people doing that. rachel: well, both of you are heroes to me and you kick down doors through using your voice and your occurr courage for so y many people who are looking up to you and are sick and a tired of being sigh -- silent and following the narrative someone says you have to do, you both are incredible people. you can catch more of riley and enes tonight on outkick on fox, a special airing on fox news at 10:00 p.m., the show is hosted by charlie clay travis and i

rachel: we are back with headlines starting with this. the justice department is considering pressing charges against new jersey senator bob menendez, according to the wall street journal. according to the report, the democrat may have used his position as senate foreign relations committee to influence a deal between the egyptian government and new jersey food producer. his wife is accused of accepting, quote, lavish gifts from the food producer after the alleged deal. >> using your position to help with a deal? he's the democrat? rachel: all right. well, canada's foreign affairs minister reportedly says the country is working on a game plan for the u.s. 2024 2024 ele. she is warning canadian lawmakers about the growth of the far right, saying this is

our game plan, to be able to manage what could be a rather difficult situation. i will work with my colleagues so they are ready regardless of election outcome. she is part of the world economic forum, been part of the organization for a while. they keep track of what governments going too far to the right for the liking of the wef and she's part of that so justin trudeau, -- many people she may be the next justin trudeau. >> would love to know what the game plan is. rachel: the head of that is like the villain that lets the information out. we'll have to see what the plan is. a pair of massive crashes unfolding last night at daytona speedway. one of the cars went airborne. >> push coming for harvick. upside down, he's barrel rolling

assistant treasury and host of the monica crowley podcast, monica crowley. great to see you. what do you make of this visit that's been revealed because of white house logs, could they have been talking about the weather or might it have been something more substantive? >> well, good morning, guys. it's great to see you. maybe it's sort of like mrs. clinton talking about the 30,000 e-mails on her private server when she said she was talking about her daughter's wedding. when biden says hey, i'm being honest that's a fact that he's not being honest. we know from the report that this doj official, jay brad, visited the white house at least three times, three times that we know about so far including once while president trump was negotiating with the national archives over turning over these documents before there was a formal investigation announced. and the third time he was at the

white house was a couple weeks before president trump was indicted while he and the special counsel's office was conducting this investigation. so it certainly appears that the doj, that this doj individual that jack smith's office was coordinating at the highest levels of the biden white house to indict biden's chief political rival. i mean, this is off the charts corruption on top of all the other off-the-charts corruption that we know about involving potential bribery and a other things. >> monica, we have a graphic on the screen as you're talking, it shows the timeline of brat's visits to the white house throughout the time, i think it's important to focus on really honestly the last one or two of those when he joined the special counsel team and when he attended a meeting with part of the white house, march 31st, a month or two before the indictment of jack smith.

will you put in context how unprprecedented for someone like that to meet with white house attorneys. >> this is out outrageous and unprecedented. they're always masters of projection, always accuse our side of what they themselves are guilty of. this is crossing a line on top of crossing a line here of what is legally an ethically appropriate. president trump is the leading presidential candidate for 2024. joe biden's chief political rival and they're weaponized and they have been for a long time but certainly in this case they weaponized the doj to go after that chief political rival. also, guys, keep in mind that this doj official, jay brat, he's the one who insisted on the search warrant and the fbi

s.w.a.t. team raid of mar-a-lago in the documents case so we're talking about a conflict of interest on top of a conflict of interest here. if there's any kind of case that cries out for a real special counsel, one that is outside of the government, unlike this latest focused one from merrick garland and joe biden's doj, it is this kind of case. so they're clearly involved here and i think judge cannon who is overseeing this documents case in florida, she should demand that all of the records and communications related to all of these meetings including jay brat's meetings and discussions at the white house that all of those records be preserved and turned over to the court. rachel: yeah, that is certainly what should happen. looks like election interference to me. i'm really glad we're talking about it, that we're not normalizing this kind of behavior by our government and those in our country -- those n
