a little bit of hudson water -- will: that's an open question whether or not that's the after party or the hudson. i'll let you know -- pete: combo? will: yeah. i noticed i've got a rough voice. but more on that in just a moment coming up on "fox & friends." we'll take you inside the navy seal swim which was yesterday. but now kamala harris is connected off her campaign without -- kicked off her campaign without much scrutiny. there's been no press conference, there's been a few gaggles, there's been no sit-down interview, there's been no policy review. there's no real insight. it's basically a campaign on vibes. it's a campaign on vibes. pete: it is. even the events themselves are not open to the public. they're invite only which is interesting. rsvp only, i should say, so they carefully curate it. they won't -- don't want protesters or anything not

scripted. so far that's worked for them. rachel: absolutely. the only interview she's given is one on the tarmac for 70 seconds and then this for about 22 minutes. take a listen. >> reporter: when can we expect you to roll out your policy platform? >> next week, and it'll be focused on the economy and what we need to do to bring down costs and also strengthen the economy. rachel: you know, it's interesting, she says i want to talk about the economy. the only economic message she's give, and it's a new one she gave in a speech just before she took that interview, was i'm going -- i'm not going to have a tax the on tips. she basically stole a policy agenda from donald trump. why didn't the press ask her why she hired, you know, her or and joe biden hired 80,000 new irs agents to sic on to service workers who -- and actually told them to to go after their tips? and now that she's running for president, she steals donald trump's and says she's actually not going to do that. and also she's in power, and she

could do it right now. she doesn't have to announce i'm going to do it. these are the questions she's not going to get. it's a strategy. and i think it's working for them, so they're going to keep doing it. pete: yeah. and don't count on the press to put any additional -- it took them years to even get on to to joe biden, the reality of his -- when they're surrounded by it. it's right in front of them. they're rooting for the home tale -- team, the democrats, and as a result, they are complicit in peddling whatever they're fed. do you think the press is going to push hard for more questions and press conferences? of course not. here's the associated press, a quote out on friday, saying newt news outlets decide which answers are newsworthy and will be slicing and dicing the sound bites, frequently devoid of context in which they were uttered. in such an environment, the value and perception of this sit-down interview has changed for journalists and candidates alike. so that's a long way of saying we don't think she needs to do those long interviews anymore

because it gets spliced up. will: the insane part of that quote from the associated press is the value for journalists. they're right about the value for candidates. it's diminished. like, why -- to to your point, she's doing well. rachel: yeah. will: polling suggests she's doing very well, so why does she need to sit down with george stephanopoulos or bret baier and answer a questions? the new york times lays out the strategy telling you exactly what's happening. ms. harris replaced a democratic nominee who has hosted fewer white house news conferences than any president since ronald reagan. now she is taking a similar cautious approach, relying on televised rallies and prepared statements in a tightly-kohl -- controlled rollout of her candidacy. some pretty political strategists say harris is doing exactly what she should be doing. fine for someone running for office, that's a nice way to manipulate their exposure and, by extension, manipulate your thoughts about kamala harris. it's not pine for journalists.

rachel: fight. -- can right. pete: it's not fine for the associated press. pete: well, that's the problem. will: but if they're in the same business as the campaign -- rachel: that's right. will: -- then it's good business, i guess, for them as well. rachel: which is why "the new york times" might as well be james carville. this is what he said, where is it written that you have to sit down for an interview? they have to do this, do that, and she's already agreed to a debate. he also a said that if anyone approaches kamala, her campaign and says you should sit down for, you know, just sit down with me, please just talk for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, that a she should, she and her team should tell them to shut up. they fully intend to ride this honeymoon out until they absolutely, until basically early voting starts in north carolina on september 6th. then she has the debates a couple -- days later and just in

case this honeymoon period, because it's going to end i think sometime in september that she's going to get another bump, and i believe that bump will be -- that joe biden will step down, and she'll become the the president in september. that's my prediction. because they're going to need that extra bump because she condition ride this out of not saying anything all the way -- as a much as they want to the -- will: i'm doubtful. i don't know that joe biden will play ball on that. i think that's his legacy -- pete: he's played a big ball already. will: being a who's one term is way different than a president who couldn't finish his term. i don't think he'd do that for his greater good -- rachel: i don't think -- will: i think selfishly he and jill will be, like, it ain't happening. rachel: i think that's what happened with him stepping down, and it did happen. if obama thinks it's necessary, it will happen. pete: i don't know. i don't agree with you on that. we'll see. we'll play the tape later on. i do think they will run the

clock out, to your point. they will, they are hide her as much as a possible. there will be votes cast in north carolina, as you said, on september 6th, before the debate even happens, maybe before she even holds an actual press conference to to answer questions. even then, the kinds of questions she gets are softball, sophomore questions. a real expose on her background, a real look at this is what you say you believe now versus what you've said for years, that's not something she could stand the up to, so why would they do it? they're not going to do it. rachel: there's no curiosity around the transfer of power from joe biden to kamala harris in terms of her being installed. i mean, there's been no real huge expose on that either. she'd be the perfect person to ask what's happening. no curiosity. no curiosity. all right. well, we're going to turn to some other headlines right now. brazilian officials are investigating the deadly commercial plane crash friday. video showing the plane spinning

comments hike these, seemingly trying to have it both ways when it comes to chinese relations. >> trade with china, but they have to play by the rules both from an environmental, from a fair trade and also from a human rights perspective. i don't fall into the category that china necessarily needs to be an adversarial relationship. i totally disagree, and i think we need to stand firm on the south china sea, but there's many areas of cooperation that we can work on. we're on the same sheet of music, the world's, you know, two of the world's great superpowers. there's many collaborative things we can do dog. rachel: our next guest escaped china and warns that there's no room to waver on communism. she joins us now. so, xi, let's talk about this row plantization that tim walz has with china and communism. he lived in china in 198999, around the time of the tiananmen square massacre. and when with he came back, he had nothing negative to say

about china. in fact, he just talked about how great it was and that crime was low. >> absolutely. he had absolute fascination of the ccp. and he has been to china 30 times since. he visit as a teacher in china, and that is through mostly through his travel tour to take american high school kids to china. and those tours were funded and approved by the ccp. and it is very weird that he would choose june 4th, the day of the city january men square massacre, as his wedding day and choose beijing as his honeymoon destination. during that massacre ten it's of thousands of people were -- tens of thousands of people were killed and more imprisonedded. he obviously don't see that, and his admiration for china is

mutual because during his inauguration for, as governor of minnesota, the ccp send diplomats to attend the ceremony. and i think it's just not very difficult to figure out because both ckp and tim walz share the same marxist ideology. he loves socialism. he loves the way that ccp run the country. everything is decided by the state. he calls socialism neighborliness. rachel: yes, he did, xi. in fact, to your point, i want you to listen to this and get your reaction on the other side. >> don't ever, don't ever shy away from our progressive values. one person's socialism is another person's neighborliness. just do the damn work. rachel: you know, he also during covid implemented a chinese-style, you know, snitch covid line where minnesota citizens could turn in their

neighbors or family who violated his very tyrannical covid regulations. >> very neighborliness, like the ccp. ccp if depend on people reporting each other. that's how they control the population. and i think it is just amazing that i wonder -- i never imagined true socialist, markettist -- marxist run for office. and they are absolutely both tim walz and kamala harris a marxist because they both support equity. what is equity? if it is marxist. redistribution of wealth. rachel: yeah. >> i think people really need to to learn history. in 1949 ccp rose to power with the overwhelming support of the chinese people. including my parents. they believe in socialism. in 1999 venezuelans vote chavez

into office because most them believe socialism will bring them a better life. what happened? the equity brought them equal distribution of poverty and misery. rachel: absolutely. >> and this is something people really need to understand. rachel: yeah, i -- >> i have something really important to tell americans. i was born into the slavery of communism. have no rights, no if freedom -- no freedom because the choice of my parents and their generation. and i think today we face the same choice between communism, socialism and american republic. and this is our last chance. remember, you can vote your way into socialism, but you cannot vote your way out of it. rachel: yeah. it's a very good point, and you are living proof of what that

can look like as you tell so many people your story through your very excellent x account. by the way, we have a statement from the harris-walz campaign about a china. they said, quote, throughout his career governor walz has stood up to the ccp, fought for human rights and democracy and always puts american jobs and manufacturing first. republicans are twisting basic facts and desperately lying to distract from the trump-vance agenda, praising dictators and sending american jobs to china. all right, whatever. [laughter] thank you, xi -- >> he is controlled opposition, absolutely. he absolutely is not really, really against socialism and ccp because he's really their fellow traveler. rachel: yeah. it's really important for people to look at his statements,, and that's why we need to hear more from harris and tim walz about their positions on equity, socialism and on the ccp.

trump will stop their reign of terror just like he did in his first four years in the white house. morgan wright served as a seniored adviser in the u.s. state department anti terrorism assistance program, and he joins us now. morgan, tell me about this -- what do you see in this story? a, does that ring true to you? this is a foreign power, this is iran, and what does it mean? >> yeah, will, good morning. hey, this has all the classic identifiers of a state sponsored action for a couple reasons. it was definitely political. the information on trump was released to an adversarial publication, politico, so it was designed to damage him. when you look at trans-national criminal groups, for them it's about the money. this is not something they get involved in. second thing is, it is the timing. the director of national intelligence, the dni, and microsoft put out reporting just a few days ago talking about how a senior official in a presidential campaign was targeted through a spear phishing attack, and that's

important because it means a particular if person was identified, somebody who they think might have had a relationship or be amenable to opening a document, maybe a pdf or link, and that's how the initial compromise occurred. so, yeah, this is just can something we're going to live with now, pete -- i mean, will, for this election and all a future elections. will: so you set aside the transnational criminal organizations that would do this for financial interests, i'm curious, how sophisticated is it to do something like this? how many foreign actors would have the capability? is this something that everyone has the capability of doing now? it's a matter of choice and adversary? how common would this be as a tool internationally? >> will, the number one tactic for foreign, you know, for nation-state actors is spear phishing. this is the number one tool in their toolbox. what's tough to do is get in and exfiltrate the data, take it out

without being detect thed, the ability to what they call dwell. but again, you go back to what's the intent, who's got the motivation. this is definitely a state-sponsored type of action. will: and then so that's clarifying with you walking us down the street of getting to, okay, it's likely state sponsored. and then iran, we know iran's position when it comes to president trump and why iran is so opposed to president trump because, you know, his to overt actions to take, put iran militarily back in its mace, and they've put him -- in its place. openly, he's an assassination target. so iran doing this tells you what about the state of their hopes in this election or how they feel about trump or how they're approaching this election? >> you know, there's a lot of ways, you could look at it a couple different ways. number one, the intent -- they don't really care who's in office. their intent is chaos, it's disruption, it's to sow distrust and mistrust. but the fact is with this, it's

kind of like with north korea when sony was hacked, it didn't take too much, you know, connecting the dots to figure out who's got the note vegas to do this -- motivation, and that was north korea. in this one, it's most likely iran, but they're going to use proxies so they can have deniability, look, it wasn't us. some bad actor over here. but at the same time, all these -- china, russia, north korea, iran, they all use proxies. hey, look, we use proxies too to be able to create that deniability. there's no doubt it's a state actor, and when you eliminate the usual suspects, the one that most stands out is iran and, yeah, they're looking to get back at trump for sole manny, for his stances -- soleimani. but when you look at china and russia, they don't really care who's in office. their goal is disruption and chaos, but iran is ideological in terms of a country, and they're the ones, i think, behind it. will: one could say it's a badge of honor to ensure he's not in the presidency again, targeting

you've never had a time frame where over a 3-year period people's real incomes fell because of inflation. when i'm out there talking to people p what are they talking about? the price of food, the price of housing, the access to housing, i how broken our health care system's becoming. and a big topic has been the cost of car insurance because everybody's gotten that terrible car insurance bill. i don't put a hot in polls. number one, president trump, if you go back look both before the 2020 the race and the 2016 race in wisconsin, he was down by 7% in one poll and by 6 in another, and he won once and he lost the next time. polls move all over, and a lot of these polls are just junk. the real issue is what is happening to the american public. you know, look, we're in wisconsin. we really, like every state, has

felt the brunt of this the fentanyl crisis because of the open border, the crime issues because of the open border. you know, people are having a hard time getting access to housing and health care not just because it's already constrained, but when you pour in anywhere from 10 at a minimum but potentially as high as 16 million immigrants, that's compounded it so you've got a perfect trifecta of harris who i think was voted the most liberal senator, walz, who's the most liberal governor and senator tammy baldwin who's, you know, i think she's voted the second most extremely liberal. so i think wisconsinites are going to reject the three of them. rachel: you're right, tammy baldwin is one of the most liberal senators in the u.s. senate, however, she does a really good job -- i used to live in wisconsin -- of flying under the radar, acting like she's just a mom next door. so what has your campaign done

to expose her record? >> talking about the issues because what do people care the most about? again, the economy. she voted for every single one of the crazy spending bills of joe biden and kamala harris. which ignited the inflation. she voted to not close the border and then voted to open the border which, as i said, causes all these layers. i call it the rotten onion, you know? the issue with access to housing, health care, the crime issues, the issue of fentanyl. and they've created a humanitarian crisis. they can't account for almost 100,000 children. so they've been wrong on everything. and then look at this, they all support boys playing in girls' sports. it's insane, what they stand for. men going into females' bathrooms. you know, transgenderring. tammy baldwin gave all our

taxpayer money to a transgender clinic that helps kids go through that without telling their parents. this is how extreme they are. it's the same crazy thing that governor walz voted for many -- in minnesota where literally if a parent doesn't support their child getting transgendered, the child can be taken away if from them. i think we need to talk consistently about the issues and how they have failed. pete: yeah, and certainly combine the -- can harris to the biden administration. right now she's trying to pretend that she was not a part of it for the last three years. eric hovde, thank you for your time -- >> oh, thank you. everybody have a wonderful day. pete: and and i'm certain you will have the strongest moustache in the -- [laughter] rachel: it's very tom selleck, i'm just saying. pete: looking good. i couldn't grow a moustache like that. rachel: no, it's impressive.

pete: taylor swift surprising fans after three of her shows were canceled over a thwarted -- with a free tv premiere of her eras tour concert film. swift teaming up with an austrian cable network to make up for the canceled shows. she's scheduled to resume the last leg of the european portio- will: what happened? did you just down shift into first gear? [laughter] pete: what? will: i don't know -- rachel: he saw them putting their little, he saw them putting their -- will: okay, got it. not big on taylor. pro-britney. pete: no, i'm not. did i read it that slow? rachel: it triggered him. when he saw the bracelets. pete: all right, or check it out, this video showing three thieves stealing a large safe from a los angeles home in broad daylight, trying to drag and load the safe into a car with another suspect. a neighbor says no one wanted to

confront them since they could have been harmed. -- armed. los angeles police asking the public for any information on the suspects. and the husband of one of the starliner astronauts trapped on the international space station tells the "wall street journal" she probably doesn't mind being on the vessel since space is her happy place. how do you pronounce that? sunita williams and butch willmore were only supposed to be there for eight days. now nasa says they might not be back until next february in. [laughter] oh, my -- will: do you pack for eight day. pete: next february? like, how inept is our space program? i went for 8 days, i stayed for 8 months? if rick -- [laughter] i heard you, you have questions? rick: is there enough food. will: right. rick: there can't be an endless supply of food --

will: they can do supply runs but they can't bring 'em home? [laughter] pete: we're going to need more information -- rachel: do they have uber eats in space? rick: they need it. all right, guys, two big stories that are happening here if you look at the temperature map. look at these cool temps across parts of the northern plains. 59 in chicago. after this hot summer, that feels really good. but it's 83 already in miami, and it is 4:48 in the morning in phoenix, and it's 89 degrees. that heat down across the southern tier is going to stick with us for a lot of this coming week. but it's going to be pretty nice across the northern plains overall. here's your next seven days precip, california, not getting any rain. we still have that park fire, by the way, still going on. we'll see more monsoonal moisture, but a lot of rain across parts of missouri and if illinois, some spots maybe 4-5 inches by the time we're done with the week. all right, back to you. pete: progressive politics coming into the church?

why one reporter says evangelical leaders are trading their faith for far-left influences, coming up next.

golo is not like any of those. with golo and release i not only met my goal i've surpassed it. and i'm keeping it off.

♪ pete: it's bunch of the most important voting blocs in america, and in a brand new

book, our next guest argues evangelicals are being politically compromised by far-left billionaires, spending hundreds of millions to infiltrate the church with far-left politic things. megan basham is the author of shepherds for sale: how evangelical leaders traded the truth for a leftist agenda. and she joins us now to explain. megan, thank you for being here. by the way, i've heard from so many people who i love is and respect that they love your book, so congratulations, and it's an important one at this time. explain to our audience the how and the why. how did this happen and why are evangelicals being targeted by the left. >> welling thanks for having me and, yes, or we just hit "the new york times" bestseller list, so turns out a lot of people are interested in this doing. what we're seeing is hard-left secular foundations that are funded by non-christian billionaires like george soros, bill gates, the rockefellers, the clinton foundation, people who are not christian, don't

claim to be christian. they're funneling money into these evangelical front groups with names like the evangelical immigration table or the evangelical environmental network to move that all a-important evangelical voting bloc to the left on policies like climate change regulation, like lax border policies that are creating chaos. and what you're seeing them do now is create political bible studies to bring into churches, and we're talking about conservative churches, conservative ministries and christian college campuses to move that vote to the harris-walz ticket. pete: so ultimately, there's a political end to this, that's why they're doing it. they see christianity as a bulwark against their cultural progress, and so they want to erode it. >> yeah, that's absolutely what they're doing. and we have to take note here that none of those foundations promote anything that is remotely christian in ethical or moral understanding. so these are the same organizations that promote

abortion up to birth, promote transgender treatments on children. and so when you see them partnering with trusted brands like christianity today which was founded by billy graham or the national association of evangelicals which represents 45,000 churches in dozens of different denominations, they're partnering with them and pushing this stuff into churches. and a lot of christians sitting in the pews are totally unsuspecting of it. and it's important to know this because in 2020 a lot of analysts looked at the evangelical vote, and they believe that just enough, just a few million were swung in swing states to the give the election to joe biden. pete: well, or megan, we've got to leave it there, but this is a really important book. my co-author for battle for the american mind said it's basically battle for the american mind for the church, the evangelical church. check it out, if you're a christian and you're interested in what's happening in our churches, this is the back to --

book for you with. hope everybody buys it. >> thanks so much. pete: we still have two big hours of the sunday show still ahead. stay with us. ♪ new centrum menopause supplements help unpause life when symptoms pause it. with a multivitamin plus hot flash support. daily zz for quality sleep. and enxtra for focus and clarity. centrum, powered by clinically studied ingredients. if you have chronic kidney disease, you can reduce the risk of kidney failure with farxiga. because there are places you'd like to be. farxiga can cause serious side effects, including ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration, urinary tract, or genital yeast infections, and low blood sugar. a rare, life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking farxiga and call your doctor right away
