[laughter] pete: that's kind of where where my head was at. we were talking about church history, and then all chaos, coffee spilled everywhere, and that was probably the right time because we were having some disagreements. rachel: we start with the catholic church. will: jesus christ started the

catholic church and small commercial break talk, and now we're talking about post malign. -- post malone. pete: welcome to "fox & friends." will: fox news alert, president biden is in vietnam and on his way to the the communist headquarters to meet with the general secretary of the communist party. pete: and the communist hq. we're also expecting live remarks from bind at a press conference -- from biden at a press conference later this morning. rachel: peter doocy has the latest for us. peter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and officialses at the white house that we talked to ahead of this trip talked about it as manager that could potentially tick off the chinese government because the chinese would prefer to be the power broker in the region. and they talk about this are trip as a signal to the entire communist government here in vietnam that the u.s. is serious about being a strategic partner moving forward and moving past what they call a painful shared legacy of the vietnam war.

a couple of hours ago aboard air force one the deputy national security adviser said this is part of a 50-year arc from conflict to normalization, and there is a tangible benefit though. vietnam has the second biggest supply of rare earth minerals after only china. those minerals are the magic ingredient in semiconductor inchips that president biden is trying to make more of in the states so the u.s. doesn't have to rely on an unreliable chinese market. the chinese and the russians said their countries -- sent their countries' number two leaders since xi and putin sat out, and we learned overnight neither of them talked to anybody from the u.s. side. we are expecting president biden here about an hour and a half from right now for a solo press conference at the very end of a day with an upside down schedule. air force one left india with headed for here at about 1 1:30 p.m. eastern last night, and so

will jetting lag be a factor, will the tedious schedule of the last couple days be a factor? we'll see, 8:30 or so eastern this morning here in hanoi. back to you. will: peter, vietnam is a communist state. is the burgeoning, i don't know, alliance or friendship here that biden is working on, is that as a tool against china when it comes to trade or whatever it may be? is it the understanding of both in that relationship that the mutually beneficial part of it is as the stand together against china? >> reporter: yeah, absolutely. and the vietnamese, from everything that we have heard, want to be friends with all the superpowers that they can. but it is a benefit for the u.s. to come here, and they're trying to elevate the vietnamese diplomatically onto the same level as the u.s.-china relationship and the u.s.-russia

relationship. but it is, there are -- you look at where we are in the world, it is a benefit to the u.s. to have friends here. yeah, it's a different tile of government -- style of government. president biden's at the communist headquarters right now talking to the communist leader of this country, but the styles and the conflicts and the type of government awe side -- aside, they want to have friends here, and we understand that d.c. has a good relationship, the diplomats there, with their vietnamese counterparts. they want to grow it especially now because the u.s. knows that over the next couple of years they have to make more of these semiconductor chips at home, and the stuff that they need to make them, they need to get it from somewhere. and so this is a place that they think that could happen. so that is the key here. rachel: we could get it here. we could start creating that stuff here. i know we are, but we need to do

more. peter, one more question. the timing of this trip is such that joe biden, the president, will not be back, will not be stateside for the 9/11 memorial. any word on that about -- the there's a bit of controversy about that. >> reporter: yeah. and i've been asking around. they think that going to alaska -- what i've been hearing from there biden officials -- they see going to alaska as a way to salute people who have been on the front lines of the war that a you don't necessarily see. so they're in alaska monitoring for threatses that are coming from the northwest. and so he will be in the united states -- rachel: sure. >> reporter: -- but the timing, it is going to be different the hand what we've seen. it's going to be pretty late in the afternoon. we're used to over the last 22 years seeing presidents that are there in the morning at the time that the towers were struck or the pentagon was struck, names are being read, bells being tolled, so it is going to be a

lot different. but i asked, i was actually talking to john is kirby the other day. i asked why is this vietnam trip so important that he's going to miss the morning of 9/11, and he said essentially everything that i just explained many that hit. it's just strategically so important that he's trying to do both. while he's in this part of the world, he thought it was that important to come here to seat too many -- vietnam. and hopefully, he'll explain a little before of that himself, the president, went he's -- when he's here next hour. it's that important, the way that they see things, that they will push the traditional seat that if please -- pardon me, the traditional 9/11 remembrance to meet with the vietnamese first. pete: absolutely. peter doocy, you talk about post malone being a renaissance man, how about peter doocy? is he can talk about politics and the intricacies of foreign policy -- >> reporter: and actually, you know, thank you for saying that. there is one more thing. i was talking to a white house

official, and i can asked about why is he missing it, and this official that i talked to said, well, 2 22 years after pearl harbor the united states presidents still weren't going to hawaii every year. so i think there is an effort to, you know, still mark the anniversary but also kind of move on. pete: oh, so there's an effort to forget. excellent. peter doocy -- >> reporter: i don't think it's an effort to forget -- pete: i know what you're saying, but it may be slightly intentional sort of to move on which could be, just be honest about it, my words, not yours. thank you, peter, appreciate it. rachel: thanks, peter. will: i think it's fascinating that here we are, what, 50 years removed from a war in vietnam, and we are back -- and i'm not necessarily saying that it's wrong and that's why i asked peter the question that i did. we're back to creating an

alliance with a communist power that we were once essentially at war in order to create some bulwark or outlet against the next enemy which is china. we need to shift trade best that we can away from china to vietnam, and eventually to your point back to home, but it just shows the shifting and my candidated alliances on -- complicated alliances on the world stage. rachel: i'm trying to remember which founding father said it, i want to say it's madison, but he said commerce or with all, entanglements with none. pete: washington. rachel: thank you. so i think this is -- i think we should have commerce with all. by the way, we should be doing this in latin america where china is gobbling up so many resources and ports and mines, and our state department is so much more focused on social issues, latin american, christian, catholic, you know, populations aren't interested in instead of commerce. and that's the way you build a

friendship, is having these kinds of commercial ties. but back to your point about 9/11. i just wonder, you know, last -- some people thought that the 20 the-year anniversary mark 2 years ago was tied to to, that they were left afghanistan in the way they did because they wanted of a big sort of 20-year we're out of afghanistan anniversary, have those things kind of come together and, of course, that didn't work out very well for the biden administration. maybe this also has something to do with that. pete: wanting to move on? rachel: wanting to move on because it's a reminder of just this thing that went wrong. pete: yeah, that's a great point. by the way, just glance over it briefly, but the president, joe biden also met with mohammed bin salman, it wasn't a fist bump this time, and it was a handshake. and you know why? because we're completely dependent on opec. there's your handshake in new delhi because we're begging for oil because we've stop our

resources here. you talk about practicality, you can talk about making him a pry can y'all you want which biden once said before, but at this point we need saudi arabia because we cratered our production there. rachel: purposefully made ourselves dependent on other countries for oil when we are sitting on the greatest resources here in our own country. will: take a look at the cover of the new york post, it is almost like a take on oliver twist where criminals are using kids to perpetuate, pull off robberies. rachel: so they go into, like, they'll -- apparently, the criminals are scouting out bars and different restaurants, if then they'll send little kids as young as 9, 10 years old in to steal, to harass the customers and commit crime. pete:you read the a article, they go in and say, hey, can i have some money for my basketball team. so there's a ruse on top of it for these young kids, and i've seen that before.

but then the, ultimately, they're looking to grab into purses or looking, when the manager leaves the office and they go down and and steal $6-7000 of -- 6-7090 in cash, and heir absolutely rude, and there's almost always an adult outside the bar waiting for whatever take that kid has inside. rachel: we're going to have jack brewer, former nfl player, come on and talk about that as well as what he sees as a change in the culture at youth football games. that's something that i ended up having, sean and i had a conversation with jack brewer on our podcast about something he's, that's manager he's very concerned about because football in these young leagues has always been a place where kids learn discipline and all these good values, and he said he went to a football game, and he said it looked more like a rapp concert. smell -- rap concert. smelled like to pot in the

stands, raunchy lyrics, and he said what's happening to youth football? so we're going to have that conversation as well. pete: it's not happening on my kitted's team. -- kid's team. at least someone else tells kids that, not just me. it's a wonderful crucible of truth telling to kids and enforcing discipline and hard work when it's done properly. but if it's not -- rachel: and that's what he wants to bring back. he said the worst actors in this scene that he saw with were the parents and the coaches. we need good coaches and good parents. will: yesterday we had on tito martinez, here's another legend from the yankees, david wells. heed had this to say. he put tape over a nike lower go. he said i hate nike. they're woke. he said i hate nike, heir woke -- they're woke. pete: full at the same time. will: not used to such full -- short statements. rachel: a man of few words.

pete: you can see it right there, the logo is on his upper right chest -- rachel: that quote could have said sean duff the my after it. sean duffy after it. pete: he said not doing that. will: here's what he had to say, man of a few more words. >> with it always seems that the gm, the managers and all that are, are getting fired and getting blamed for it, and it's the players. if you're not doing the job out on the field, you know, if i was a gm, i would start sending a message, i don't care how much money you're making. send a message to 'em and let 'em go down will and think about it. that's what you have to do. i think they coddle them too much. they don't -- they baby them, and they don't let 'em do what they do. it's up to your peers the make you better. it's not a personal thing, you're here to win.

and that's what i think, just seeing from my perspective looking in, they don't have that kind of camaraderie. pete: you know, i just did the segment9 with the parents in california where there's a bill that, you know -- rachel: frighteningful. pete: -- custody case if you're not the child-affirming parent, you're not going to get the kids, and the lawmaker who introduced the bill talk about parents' job is to affirm their kids no matter what, and i think that's part of what he's talking about. you have generations of kids who have been affirmed in whatever it is they're doing, and being confronted about something or forging a different view doesn't often a happen. rachel: well, and in that goes back to what jack brewer's saying. he's saying this is the pipeline, youth football is the pipeline to the professionals, right? if or youth baseball, whatever. so how we, you know, the culture we have at that level will impact what it looks like in the locker room and on the field -- will: we had this conversation once before. where did i see this comment

made? i can't remember what it was, but minute on the left, i think it was mark cuban, owner of the dallas mavericks, said why always so much hate? if you'll notice the word hate has taken the place of the wore judge. why do you hate? st it's what someone says now when someone is simply passing judgment. and judgment is important. we've had this conversation before. you're not -- affirmation is not a kind act when you are affirming every single thing that a child or even an adult is choosing in life. pete: of course. will: judgment is what separates us from animals. rachel: but judgment is a bad word -- will: that's my point. so judgment essentially has become interchangeable with hate, you know? rachel: yeah. will: judgment is part and parcel with love. president it always has been -- pete: it always has been. and versus being judgment -- rachel: part and parcel with forming a conscience, right? if. pete: and there is philosophy

for you at 7:15. will: just getting warmed up. pete: all right, a few additional headlines starting with this, the man convicted of running over and killing 18-year-old kayler ellison has been sentenced to 5 years in prison. shannon brant claims the teen was part of a republican extremist group. however, police say there's no e of that -- evidence of that. prosecutors say he intentionally ran over the teen as a -- he gets a 5 years. there's a lady who walk many with her son, got 6 years. rachel: he's going to get time off because he served some time in his house. those are the two tiers of justice and punishment going on in this country right now. pete: now to a fox weather alert. hurricane lee now slowing down over the atlantic as it's weakening to a category two storm. the national hurricane center says winds are up to 10 is 5 miles per hour. the final path of the storm is

>> we are suspending open and concealed car ily. i think it's time to the talk about the absoluteness of the discussion9 and the current court action as that suggests

that the second amendment is an absolute right and none of the others are. no constitutional right, in my view -- including my oath -- is intended to be absolute. will: new mexico's governor us pending open and concealed carry across albuquerque for at least 30 days citing an uptick in gun violence, but even some democrats say it's a violation of citizens' rights. california congressman ted lou posting on, and, quote, there is no such thing as a tate public health emergency exception to the u.s. constitution. constitutional law attorney kats now. what's your initial reaction for what you hear from the new mexico governor? >> i think there's no question that it's unconstitutional. she even conceded that. when you've taken the oath of office, how you can deliberately and brazenly disregard that, because that's exactly what this is. there's no can debate constitutionally that the second

amendment is not to be suspended. it's equal to any other bill of rights that we have including free speech. so you can think of it that way. the exceptions for any sort of governmental purpose are not really at play here. will: she's invoked a public health emergency, and this isn't the first time we've heard of public health emergency used as the banner to get around a some limitations on government. it was certainly the case during covid. after that we saw, if i might, an epidemic of emergencies. the state of new york declare an end deck -- epidemic of racism, public health official. gun violence, as attempted to be done here in new mexico. is there some kind of power for governments to declare emergencies and all of a sudden absolve themselves of limitations on their own power? >> when we're talking about the specific rights that are in the bill of rights, that's really not anything that's at play here. last year the supreme court dealt with a case very similar from new york talking about people's right to bear arms in public for the purpose of

self-defense, and there's no analysis of any sort of governmental emergency or analysis of violence rights or race or anything like that to justify curtailing constitutional rights. and that's essentially what this is. which is whey i -- why i think the governor concedes she will use a legal ballot, but she prettily wants -- politically wants the push this forward. will: she also concedes that it probably isn't going to work. she's asked several questions just on a practical standpoint. hey, these guys that are shooting people, they're breaking the law. e why are they going to start obeying the law when you say open-carry, concealedded carry are gone. by the way, suspension of open and conceal is carry laws for 30 days, monthly examinations of firearm dealers, gun shot incidents, ban firearms on tate property. so she's conceding that it's probably not constitutional, she's conceding it probably doesn't work, so what is she

accomplishing? just simply some type of political statement? >> i think exactly, you're exactly right. there's no practical benefit to this. when you have more crime, you're taking away law-abiding citizens' rights to defend themselves from that crime? because any sort of ban on firearms doesn't apply to criminals. people are going to unlawfully use fire firearms regardless of any sort of the state order. so certainly the practicality is not there whatsoever. i think it's just a political move, quite frankly. will: really quick, i want do can you a only my candidated question, it just popped into my mind. new mexico and texas have reciprocity, i believe. i believe i'm correct on that. so a texan could be, for example, in albuquerque with constitutional carry that would have previously been honored, had reciprocity. now i a texan could be arrested in albuquerque for something that was legal in their own

state and honored many new mexico -- in new mexico. that sets off a standoff, does it not, because texas and new mexico? >> i think even according to the order at this point, there hasn't been any specifics about how they're going to enforce it. but en-- when you have conflicting state laws like marijuana, for example -- will: but if you establish reciprocity, you've put yourself in position now finish. >> sure. texas could have an issue with that as well. ultimately, there's already challenges filed, i think this will be essentially terminated very quickly on constitutional grounds with. will: yeah. >> but, yes, you're right, there's a lot of other tangential issues that come about as a result of that. will: texas rangers pulling into albuquerque to get their citizens. katie, thank you so much for your opinion. >> thank you. will: all right. coming up. big man on campus, former president trump stealing the

and you do have to learn how to flip burgers and eat corn dogs and a whole lot of other stuff in order to win iowa. donald trump obviously had a good day and a good time, but he may be the only person i mow that flips burgers in a suit and tie. [laughter] rachel: there's something very authentic, because you know he doesn't flip burgers often -- [laughter] and he's still got that suit on. we were talking this morning about the fact that he went into this frat house, right, and that, you know, he might be the only candidate out there that would get that kind of reception in a fraternity house, you know? if young people, you know generally don't really care about politicians coming in to see them, and yet these guys were enthused and excited. why is that? explain this phenomenon. >> because he connects to people that most washington politicians simply cannot if connect to because they're a wholly-owned subsidiary of the donor class. they take their orders from the donor class and from the

lobbyists and the people who really run government from behind the scenes. and donald trump, the reason they hate him so much, the reason the deep state has been out to get him from the moment he came down the escalator was because he owes them nothing. well, now he owes them something. he owes them the opportunity to get back into office and to turn 'em out and to send them home. but that's why there's such an extraordinary outrage about him but there's also an extraordinary acceptance and enthusiasm for him. look at this, this is three years since the election of 2020 the, and he's still getting the kind of reception that a person just elected would get. joe biden goes to a place, meanders on and off the stage, mumbles through a teleprompter speech and gets polite applause like at a golf course. it's just, it's stunning to see the difference. will: governor, would you help us, help me understand iowa. it's a place of surprises though in the political process. donald trump didn't win it in 2016.

he's leading far and away in all of the national primary polls right now, but there's this sense that you could, you should always be ready for a surprise, somebody somehow did all the right handshaking in all 90-something counties in iowa iowa. help us understand why it doesn't seem to go according to form. >> mainly because you can't shortcut it. you have to spend time on the ground, and you do have to to go out and shake is hands. it's basically like running for governor of iowa and, quite frankly, post of the presidency and the race for it is running for governor in about 10 or 12 key states early on. and if you don't win some of those early states, i don't care what the national polls say, you're not going to be the nominee, and you're not going to be the president. iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, nevada, some of these early states, they've become important because the perception is that if to you can't win early, then you can't win in the finals. it's almost like sports. if you lose your first several

games, then nobody thinks you're going to be in the championship at the end of the season. so it does become important, but the key to winning iowa is going to people, looking at them face to face, shaking hands, answering their questions. and, boy, do they have some in iowa because they've been through in this. the reason that statements like iowa and new hampshire are important, a lot of people want to, you know, quit having these early a states, these people are not impressed by political figures. they're not people who are intimidated. they will ask hard, tough questions. they will follow up far more so than any reporter from the new york time ever will. and it's just a very, kuwait frankly, helpful -- quite frankly, helpful act on behalf of the voters to do this favor for america and put candidates through the wringer. pete: yeah. it is a crucible, and is you've been there and came out on top of the heap. governor mike huckabee, thank you so much. enter great to see you guys. rachel: thank you, governor.

we're to believe that these general iseses that cut their teeth in combat for 20 years automatically choose, you know, teterboro over jfk? it makes no sense. tactically, it makes no especially sense. i think it's a shame, and attention should be paid to the state department and to this white house. pete: so you're saying a lot of civilians said get us out of there, i don't care what it takes, but i don't we have a history of generals throwing their stars on the table saying i'm not going to be the a part of something that's clear clearly a debacle, a part of leaving bag with ram air gasser -- bagram air base or not evacuating people in the right way or using the damn ban as ou? >> first of all, being a four-star general's equivalent of being a u.s. senator, that's how much politics are involved today. and think about how schizophrenic it is that we're so divisive as a country that our foreign policy changed 180 degrees every four years. how to we go from saying taiwan has every right to be a

democracy, that we will stand with the free people that a want freedom in this world to, you know, if china wants their way, china will get their way. these are 180-degree pivots, and it's hard for a general who two years ago was, you know, when they were a two-star general, they were supporting the surge and general petraeus, reducing violence by 97% in iraq the all of a sudden letting isis drive a 13-mile convoy of toyotas through fallujah and ramadi. the it's tough to be a general when you have folks that want to fundamentally change the way -- pete: there have been so many different a trajectories on the war fronts. you're in the city for a couple of days honoring and remembering the events of 9/11. where's your head at here 2222 -- 22 years later. >> ladder 4, battalion9, they lost 15 firefighters. a whole shift. 28 kids left behind. and, you know, we talk about

never forget, always remember what happened here on september 11th. if i think not only have we forgotten september 11th, i think we've forgotten what it is to be an american. and the lessons that was learned 222er years ago was that america is worth fighting for. not just sacrificing for, but fighting for. we've got a lot of foreign enemies, we know that. we've got domestic ones as well, and america is worthy of defense now more than ever. pete: amen. david bellavia, thank you for everything that you've done for this country, it's great to see you. >> good to see you. pete: let's turn to the chief, chief meteorologist rick reichmuth, for our weather forecast. rick: big day tomorrow, so important. let's talk about the weather. big storms across much of the eastern seaboard and a big cooldown to the northern plains. show you what i'm talking about, 48 degrees in fargo, 55 in chicago right now. 599 in kansas city. that cooler air is going to settle all the way town across parts of texas the next few

days, high temperatures into the 80s in dallas. you certainly deserve it. morning, cool air across the far northern plains. cold front slowly moves through, and so each morning over the next few mornings it gets a little bit cooler. 47, tuesday morning in minneapolis for your overnight if lows, so it's going to feel great. feels like fall. not across the eastern seaboard, in fact, we've got a front that's drape out across this area, big stormed yesterday. today we're going. to see that fire up again, and it is really humid. and that's going to continue for the next 4-5 days. today through tomorrow a chance of flooding, anywhere you see that green, likely needing going on. -- flooding going on. some of these storms are going to be strong at times, so be careful across parts of the northeast. pete, back to you inside. pete: thank you, rick. all right. still ahead, h is for hypocrisy. the chicago teachers union's boss is defending sending her son to a private school despite blasting school choice for everybody else.

rachel: the chicago teachers union boss is defending sending her own son to the a private school even after she called

them session rebase academies in a 20218 quite. but the hypocrisy doesn't stop there. she's not the only school choice critic to choose private school for their children. california governor gavin newsom attended private school himself and then sent his children to private cool while he locked down, by the way, california public school students out of school during the pandemic. president obama did the same during his time in office. let's remember he shut down the opportunity program for disenfranchised poor children in d.c. to go to private schools and then sent his own kids to sidwell friends. the clintons, of course, also sent chelsea to sidwell friends, a private cool in the washington d.c. here to react is corey deangelis. corey, i have list because my producers are amazing, and they gave me a long list of democrats who oppose school choice, say that it's racist, it's fascist,

she said it's session rebase academies, and yet they send their own. stacy davis gates, she's the chicago teachers union boss. why doesn't she send her kid to chicago schools? she's this charge of the public schools. doesn't sound like she's giving it her endorsement with her own child. >> she knows the chicago public school system is failing so many students including her own. and what's interesting is before she said that she's legitimized in the space because, you know, she sends all her kids to public schools this chicago. just a year later after he said that, she disenrolled her kid from the public school system, sending him to a private school that costs less than $15,000 a year whereas the chicago schools that are a total clown show, they spend over $27 the ,000 per year, about twice as a much as what they charge for tuition in her son's private school. and i'm glad she has that opportunity for her family, but she shouldn't turn around and fight against less advantaged

families from having the same kind of choice. rachel: ray absolutely. and that number, by the way, that's astounding. so she sends her children, her child to the $15,000 a year private school, and yet they get over $27 the ,000 -- 27,000 a year spent for each public school student in cag which, as you said, is a dumpster fire clown show school district where children are not being educate. that is a fascinating number. taxpayers are not getting their money's worth out of that school district, for sure, probably around the country. that's absolutely fascinating. so let's make the connection here a little bit because it's the teachers unions that are causing this problem. we just had a story come out in "the new york post" that exposed the fact that the biden administration wanted to open up schools during the pandemic at a certain date and kept them closed because the teachers unions wanted hem closed because they needed more time of the

schools being closed in order to extort more money out of the taxpayer federal government. >> yeah, look, we mentioned joe biden, he's another hypocrite we should have put on the wall. he sent his kids to private school, yet he to opposes the d.c. scholarship program for poor kids. and, look, yeah, he's a wholly-owned subsidiary of the teachers union. randi weingartenen's union, for example, donated about 99.9% of their campaign contributions to democrats in 2022, and it's been like that for over three decades. so the democratic party's just another arm of the teachers union at this point, and that's why these people in positions of power have to be hypocrites on the issue of school choice. they're for supporting options when it comes to funding people directly for just about everything else, for higher ed and pre-k to pick your school, but when it comes to k-12 education, they fight against it despite end sending their own

kids to private educational opportunities because their power depends on it. they're owned by the teachers eunice ons. rachel: yeah. but they care and love their own children, is they send their children to private school. i send my children to private school, but i want that opportunity for everybody. that's why i'm for school choice, and so are you, corey. thanks for joining us this morning. rachel: you got it.ro shannogrn if bream joins us at top of the hour. nicorette reduces cravings until they're gone for good. frustrated by skin tags? dr. scholl's has the breakthrough you've been waiting for. the first fda-cleared at-home skin tag remover clinically proven to remove skin tags safely in as little as one treatment.
