landing in texas. >> sfb grabbed me said i'm a spy. i'm apparently a general in the army. a secret agent for dia. this is the nonsense narrative they came up with. and they wouldn't let it go. so, yeah, this is how putin runs his government. this is how putin runs his country. yeah, i'm glad i'm home. ha ha ha ha. i'm never going back there again. >> steve: i don't blame you. i would never leave home. meanwhile, president biden and vice president harris were at joint base andrews in the 11:00 hour last night to greet the americans. mr. biden thanking allies who helped make this deal possible. >> this deal would not have been made possible without our allies. germany, poland, norway, slovenia. they all stepped up and they stood with us. they stood with us. and they made bold and brave decisions. released brings being held in their countries or justifiably being held. >> steve: now they are out. evan also spoke last night,

opening up as he was reunited with his family and he picked his mom up there is ella. >> brian: even after spending so long in russian -- >> it's. [shouting] >> overwhelming. >> brian: there he goes talking to the press a little bit. even after spending so long in russian captivity. always a isles j. evan asked before he left to interview vladimir putin once he was free. >> absolutely incredible to think about. here to react is evan's friend from college chuck rollins. i am stunned by that story. chuck, about your roommate, your friend, evan gershkovich gets a form a proforma form to fill out as you leave prison. most people leave the portion blank as to what you want to communicated to vladimir putin. not evan. he had the guts to write down i request an interview. when he is still a prisoner in russia. does that surprise you? >> no. it does not.

it was great to read that i think as his friends, it was good to see that he is still evan. and that was the first time where i felt, okay, this is happening. and this still our best friend in is it stem a reporter that we all know and love. how do you feel, chuck, knowing, and i'm sure you read the big takeout in the "wall street journal," it's a lead story. very long story but details how much effort went in good night government and family and friends to spring him as well. he essentially was picked off the street, simply to spring the russian killer that putin tried to get back a couple of years. evan, it was all transactional. we are going to get the "wall street journal" guy. i'm going to get my killer back. i mean, yeah. my focus has been on how do we keep 9/11 good spirits and

support his family and the article is wild and you'll find someone who is more knowledgeable about prisoner swaps than knee comment on that. but, it was the whole thing was -- it was heart breaking to have, you know, your best friend in a prison cell instead of free in the world the way he should have been. >> have you had a chance to talk to him yet? >> i have not, i have been eagerly awaiting. we all have. he is busy with the president and vice president and getting resituated. >> steve: you are next. >> yeah. my phone is on high volume waiting for that call. >> brian: he talked about how he told his mom it's like swimming up stream every day. can you relay what you knew about his captivity?

the food wasn't great. last week was tough when he was transferred. but,. >> he was penal colony, right? >> i don't think he had made his way there yet. i think he was transferred to a gen pop prison right before the sentencing and then after the sentencing and then i believe they got him out of there before he went to pe penal colony. again, a correspondent might be able to answer that question better. >> chuck, i read that you guys like to watch the jets lose together. which i laughed at because evan's home. right before football season. and you read that evan -- you said that evan liked to grace the world with his cooking. what do you look forward to doing and tell us a little bit about the evan you knew prior to captivity. >> oh. yeah. i mean, evan is the smartest,

hardest working best guy i know. he is the last person that should have been locked up in prison he likes to watch the jets win. it's funny for me when they lose. but, yeah, no, seven just the best guy, you know, he is the world's kind of learning about him now in these past 491 days but he has always been him. and, you know, he put himself through college working the grill at bowdoin and just he has always been such a hard worker and the best friend that i could ask for and that's why as you guys saw. journalists. americans people were all over the world writing him letters. sending his family letters supporting him in any way they

could seven a good hang. he is the best guy. >> brian: the jets is the best jets team in a while so things could be breaking his way. >> this is true. i mean, i hope. i will start rooting for the jets that now that he is out. >> steve: your friend held by vladimir putin for 500 days you are going to rub it in that his team's a loser? >> yeah. keep his mind on other things. i think. that's really i'm excited to see him. i know it's a long road and is he down in texas right now. who knows? i can't wait to hear from him. but, my goal and my hope is to get back to normal life. >> hope he calls you today. thanks so much. >> kayleigh: thanks, chuck. >> thank you, take care. >> steve: i think evan wants to get back to normal life too. and it starts today. we didn't get our americans back for free.

you want to know what the russians think of their people, they leave them on the battlefield dead. they leave the bodies down there. the ukrainians can't believe this and they have killed maybe 500,000. >> steve: you are right. a win for putin. shows that he is loyal to his guys. that trained killer one of his guys. he worked for years to get out his guy and he had to trade a bunch of innocent americans but he got his guy. >> kayleigh: biden's message to our adversaries is stop. he loves the one word, one syllable answers. sometimes adversaries need more than stop and don't which is what we said to iran. >> steve: didn't kamala harris say don't come to the 8 million who did? >> kayleigh: sometimes you need unquick call messages you harm the hair on heaved american citizen and we take your life. j.d. vance flips the script on a cnn reporter during a recent q&a calling kamala harris a chameleon. >> steve: as the veepstakes heats up, pennsylvania governor josh shapiro is apparently

canceling his weekend fundraising plans. >> kayleigh: wonder why. >> steve: exactly. >> brian: let's everybody cancel their plans this weekend. >> steve: you have a show to do. >> brian: that's right. peter doocy is live outside the white house. >> peter: good morning, j.d. vance is now out on the campaign trail trying to help explain what he thinks donald trump meant when he said that kamala harris went from only identifying and indian american to only identifying as black. >> what i question is why she presents a different posture depending on which audience that she is in front of. she will say one thing to one audience. say another thing to another audience. say something totally different to another audience. just in the past two days went to wanting to ban fracking to not banning fracking. she went to wanting to defund police to not defund police. she puts on a southern ache snent georgia and a totally different accent in california. i think she is a that meal i don't know harris staffers erics

done vetting the finalists. josh shapiro is canceling planned weekend fundraisers in the hamptons this weekend according to cnn. andy a beshear also reportedly canceling events this he could would. two. it's up to harris to figure out who helps her win. a crowd went wild in texas yesterday when she accidently called herself a president at a funeral. >> it was sheely jackson bill made june juneteenth a federal holiday which as the united states senator i was proud to co-sponsor and then as president -- as vice president, it was my honor with the president. [laughter] >> with the president. [cheers] did was my honor. >> peter: overnight in some of that video we saw with the vice president and the president welcoming the hostages back to u.s. soil, that's actually the first time that they have been seen together on camera since he

dropped out on july 21st and endorsed her. president biden plans this fly them wilmington. back to you. >> steve: they kept the press far away. peter, it sound like axios had an item that said it sounds like people think it's going to be a sitting governor because apparently the campaign is together donors, hey, if you work for a financial services outfit. you got cut a check by probably sunday because there are sec requirements that say you can't do that too sitting governor. >> peter: stuff like that makes it seem obvious it would be a sitting governor but the campaign insists that she hasn't actually made up her mind. we know that are three of the signature governors, walls in minnesota, beshear in kentucky, and shapiro in pennsylvania who are believed to be in the finals, but people that actually know like the vice president and her husband, probably, they are not actually putting this stuff out at this point.

>> brian: and it looks like her brother-in-law is also playing a major role in this. >> peter: tony west. >> brian: everything is on hyper spin. i like it. 90 day sprints to the finish. i would just add a couple of things i thought mary katharine ham was very smart. i listened to her soundbite that was meandering. read it out loud first time in a script long time hostages land forced to look into the camera and a talk and she was all over the place. that's another skill a candidate has to have. j.d. vance adversarial situation came out strong. she has to ad-lib the hostage release all over the place. >> kayleigh: i will say so the job of the trump campaign right now is it force her off script. get her to the debate stage as soon as possible. in the meantime, don't under estimate her the way the bar was so low for biden. don't mention the cackling and laughing. say she is going to be tough we don't know if we can do it. have trump dance across the

debate stage and trounce opponents. don't set the bar too low. >> steve: you just got to keep dragging her back to the issues. because, when you look at the issues. >> kayleigh: exactly. >> steve: hey, we think we should file a missing person's report because you now say you are for this but a year ago you were against it. and we got a whole list of stuff. and the exrort thing is she is getting away with it at this point. >> brian: right. it's a long honeymoon. the honeymoon will probably go right through the dnc. >> kayleigh: cut it off after. >> brian: ronna roe is holding a news conference updating the public on the investigation in to the trump assassination attempt. >> kayleigh: comes as a whistleblower claims that rowe himself is to blame for the security lapse. >> steve: cb cotton joins us from butler with the latest. this might not have never happened if they had all the people there that they needed. >> hi, steve.

well, that is what it appears. republican senator josh hawley says a whistleblower claims the gunman thomas matthew crooks could have been stopped in thinks tracks had specific agents been there on scene. the summarized the whistleblower's claims on x writing quote: whistleblower tells me secret service acting director rowe personally directed cuts to the secret service agents who do threat assessments for events. fbi says those agents were not present in butler. so he brought this claim to the secret service who told fox, quote: we respect the senator and the role of oversight and will respond to the request through official channels. so now we are going to wait to see if the secret service answers about this claim and others during its 2:00 p.m. eastern news conference later today. acting director rowe testified this week that urgent warnings about the gunman were siloed in local and state radio channels and some of the equipment the agency has to detect drones did not work. we know from the fbi that on the day of the rally.

crooks flew his own drone twice. rowe admitted had the secret service technology worked, perhaps shooting could have been prevented. >> it is something that i feel as though we could have, perhaps, found him. we could have maybe stopped him. maybe on that particular day he would have decided this isn't the day to do it because law enforcement just found me flying my drone the jerry medical examiner confirmed the gunman's cause of death to local media who are now reporting that it is now confirmed that crooks died of a single gunshot wound to the head. back to you three. >> steve: cb, thank you very much: the former president was talking to mornings with marie. that's her whole name maria bartiromo yesterday. and he talked a little bit about how when people went online, whether it's google or meta, facebook, essentially, and they looked at that iconic photo of

trump with his fist up and the blood running down his face. it came up that that picture had been altered. he told marie that apparently the top guy over at meta got on the horn and talked to him. listen to this. so mark zuckerberg called me. he called me a few times he called plea after the event that was amazing and brave. he actually announced he is not going to support a democrat because he can't because he respected me for what i did that day. i think what i did -- to me it was a normal response. but i was called by mark zuckerberg yesterday, the day before, on the same subject and he actually apologized. he said they made a mistake, et cetera, et cetera. correcting the mistake. google, nobody called from google. >> steve: meta said that apparently it was an hallucination which happens with ai. you know, everybody thinks ai is so brilliant.

apparently it ha lewis united states. it's a little funny sometimes. >> kayleigh: i heard mark zuckerberg come out and praise trump. maybe this one was a mistake. these algorithms are run by people. >> steve: programmed. >> kayleigh: programmed by people. when you look at this and think that it took 14 days. their response was we're updating things. it doesn't take two weeks to update that there was an tament on former president trump. that's a long time. >> brian: cailee, i understand your skepticism, you were right there in 2020. zucker bucks did a lot to tilt the election towards biden. >> kayleigh: of course. >> brian: for every $1,000 he gave to republicans he gave $100,000 to democrats. i get it. i listened to zuckerberg on joe rogan i got a call from the fbi saying you got to take this down. intimidated and did it. he regretted it. business decision, look at the brighter side. i think he is embarrassed about what happened in 2020. i think right now the last -- i think that he -- i would look at

that call as sincere and trump is a pretty good bs detector. if he thought he was being played he would have said it. >> steve: result mattly, i think mark zuckerberg, the whole future of silicon valley right now is ai. everybody is saying ai is the next big thing. now we are learning ai gets it wrong. i mean, the ai that you are trusting to write your term paper, according to those ads that i have been watching gets fuzzy. and makes mistakes. he said we are sorry. as soon as we figured it out we took it down. that hearkens back to all the time. >> kayleigh: hunter biden and the laptop. >> steve: algorithm now it's ha lucien nation. >> brian: if i commit a crime could i say i hallucinated. >> steve: can you say it. >> kayleigh: artificial intelligence. >> brian: let me read the headlines unless i'm hallucinating i should do it. go to a single camera. two jordanian migrants accused

of trying to breech quantico marine base back in may are out on bail. ice saying there? reason to believe they had ties to terrorist organizations. really? both are charged with misdemeanor trespassing. both men are due in a federal courtroom in virginia next month. let's see if they show. three police officers columbus, ohio hospital losized and suspect is dead after officers responding to a domestic violence call. authorities say the three officers was stabbed during a barricade situation. when swat entered the home the suspect was shot. he was killed. look at this high speed chase caught on camera in los angeles yesterday. the driver bmw crashing into a car parked car and stop sign. they believe the car was stolen. police found a rifle at the scene and at least three people involved in the yarbrough arrested. thankfully, everyone survived.

let's see how long this guy stays in jail? a family in michigan playing a prank on their dad at the airport by facing a giant sticker of his smiling face with a message help, my dad find his luggage on his suit indicates. >> kayleigh: i love that. >> brian: he was worried he would not be able to find the bag because he is colored blind. when buy standers saw the luggage they kept yelling at him his suitcase was here. the entire family could not stop laughing. and those are your headlines. >> steve: that's hilarious. that reminds me earlier in the week a dad had been on a business trip for a week or 10 days, something like that. the family was all at the airport with signs to welcome him back. and the sign said dad, welcome back from prison. so everybody who saw the dad thought, wait, that guy was in the joint? >> kayleigh: remember that obama guy -- biden guy sam brinton who stole luggage?

put your face on your luggage. >> brian: he could strike again. we don't know where he is. >> steve: 7:24 in new york city. riley gaines is coming up on "fox & friends." stick around, folks. >> brian: exclamation point. i was losing interest in the things i love. then i found a chance to let in the lyte.” discover caplyta. unlike some medicines that only treat bipolar i, caplyta is proven to deliver significant symptom relief from both bipolar i & ii depression. and in clinical trials, movement disorders and weight gain were not common. caplyta can cause serious side effects. call your doctor about sudden mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts right away. anti-depressants may increase these risks in young adults. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. caplyta is not approved for dementia-related psychosis. report fever, confusion, or stiff muscles, which may be life threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements which may be permanent.

to a secluded area and concealed her death. there is still no word on any motive for the killing. and bond has already been denied for ibarra. if the court does decide to take this case to trial it. could come as early as the fall. steve? clarifies is the supporter of a green new deal. jobs estimated to cost the taxpayers billions. now it seems she is flip-flopping on that as is the case along with a bunch of other stuff. a washington examiner reporter a spokesperson for harris campaign tells me that the presumptive democratic nominee changed her pox and no floppinger supports a federal jobs guarantee. championed by some on the left and the green new deal proponents. here to react to one of her latest flip-flops is democratic strategist doug schoen. doug, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> steve: so over the last week or. so we have seen, you know, shamelessly, what she is doing, what kamala harris' campaign is

doing. they are leaking to the "new york times" saying all that stuff that she used to stand for, she has changed her mind because she can't get elected if she stands for that and she is getting away with it. >> that's exactly right. because there is so much controversy about trump and what he is saying and j.d. vance and what he has said in the past. that she has managed to avoid much scrutiny and certainly a great deal of criticism until now. >> steve: yeah. to your point. about so many questions about what's going on with donald trump. donald trump a couple of days ago was at the national association of black journalists in chicago. and his comments about kamala got a lot of air play. yesterday, a cnn reporter asked j.d. vance down along the border about the comments and here is what he had to say. listen to this, doug. >> kamala harris is a chameleon. she goes to georgia two days ago. she was raised in canada. she puts on a fake southern

accent. she everything to everybody and she pretends to be somebody different depending on which audience she is in front of. totally reasonable for the president to call that out. >> steve: what do you think about that? >> well, i think that is an artful exly occasion of what i think was a mistake by donald trump. far better, in my judgment, for trump and vance are to argue about her flip flops. the jobs guarantee, fracking, she was against, now she is for it. there are a whole litany of issues. defund the police. she was for. now she is against it. so, southern border. she wanted to welcome people. now she is for the bipartisan compromise to tighten border security. i think there's a lot of room there for the trump-vance ticket to make political hay. i think it's less about her, more about the issues.

>> steve: okay. one thing we do know for sure by tuesday she is going to select her vice presidential running mate. and the vetting is done. you are, today, in south hampton, new york. and one of the josh shapiro, governor of pennsylvania. supposed to be at an event where you are at and the big donors are furious so give us the intel. give us the skinny on this. >> the world out here world believes that the universe begins and ends hamptons, south hampton to montauk. the idea that a large dollar fundraiser for josh shapiro wanted yesterday in the afternoon short many notice has people up in arms but more surprise believing that if it was canceled there has to be a very good chance indeed high likelihood that shapiro could be

the vice presidential candidate. >> steve: you are a pollster, long time democrat pollster does it make sense to pick him aside from the fact that pennsylvania where is he governor is the largest swing state and he has got a 61% approval rating? >> it makes a lot of sense for her to pick him. he also neutralize some of the concerns people have that kamala harris is too pro-palestinian. not sufficiently pro-israel or taking on anti-semitism. so i think he offers real benefits as does mark kelly and tim walls and potentially andy beshear as well. >> steve: doug schoen, only man wearing a necktie in the hamptons. >> that's right. >> steve: thank you. you can take your necktie off. >> thank you. i will. >> steve: controversy at the olympics after we learn the two boxers previously disqualified for allegedly failing gender eligibility tests.

protections gender identity. more than legal challenges from half of the states. outkick.com. gaines for girls podcast on outkick.com riley gaines is here to react. riley, i want to start with these biological men who are beating up women. it's happening at the olympics. here is their defense. this is via a spokesperson of the iow. as with previous olympic boxing competitions the gender and age of the athletes are based on their passport. these two athletes were the victims of a sudden and arbitrary decision by the ida. there is gender on the passport and what vivek ramaswamy says xx chromosomes incorporated indicating women or xy indicating male. it's pretty simple science, riley. >> you would think. so you would have more hope, at least i did, in the international olympic committee to trust the science, to prioritize the safety of women

is that's not what they're doing. looking at passports as if passports can't be changed. seeing that in the u.s. change your passport and birth certificate to reflect whatever you want it to reflect. i am in total agreement with vivek that if you have a y chromosome whether or not you are trans, there are rumors out there that these athletes aren't actually transgender or athletes that identify as trans instead with a athletes dsd. diagnosed sex disorder but nonetheless you have a y chromosome. if you are a y chromosome you are males and they do not belong in women's sports. >> kayleigh: my sister was a heard ler and she didn't have to deal with this in college a few years ago but you had to deal with this. why aren't there more women stepping up who worked their entire lives saying this is not fair. this is not just. where are the other female athletes? there are some, where is the coordinated effort here?

>> understandably they are terrified. they are terrified of the risk. they are terrified of the threats that they face. let's look at what the biden-harris administration has done by implementing this new title ix rewrite. essentially abolishing title ix in its original intent. in this new rewrite, if you, a college student, a college athlete. a 17-year-old girl who goes to have college away from her family for the first time and you are housed with you a male. and you go to your administrator and merely request a new roommate, under this new biden-harris administration, their new title ix rerewrite. you would be taken your title ix's compliant office you could be guilty and charged with sexual harassment. that's why people are terrified. especially girls my age. that's they are terrified to speak up for themselves and call out an injustice when they see it. >> it's injustice. former president trump and his campaign has said that and it's incredible to me that kamala harris, as a female about to become the democratic nominee for president has stayed silent
