[laughter] rachel: they can't take that away from us, can they?

pete: i can tell, you're a little choked in. they're fleeting moments, is and you absorb them as best as anybody. will: absolutely. rachel: i love that about you with, will. they're very intentional and very aware of the fact that -- for a lot of people, they don't realize it until they're all gone. will: you keep saying it's fleeting. [laughter] rachel: i know. pete: did he kick? will: he did. hit about 5 extra points, nice connectoffs down to the -- kickoffs down to the end zone, but theyst lost the game by 7 points. pete: 5 extra points, there was a lot of scoring there. really. will: yeah. it was really, really fun, but i'm glad to be back. pete: grade to have you. we've got a 4-hour tour. we begin with a fox news alert. spacex's prairies dawn astronauts returning to -- prairies dawn astronauts returning to earth overnight. rachel: their crew going on the first ever commercial space walk.
3:04 am
will: chanley painter joins us with the details. >> reporter: after five days in pace, the spacex dragon capsule, called the resilience, is now back safely here on earth. it happened just hours ago, splashing down in the gulf of mexico off the coast of florida. watch this. >> and there you can see -- [cheers and applause] as you can see on your screen and by the cheers behind us, the polaris dawn crew has successfully splashed down. >> welcome back to planet earth, polaris dawn. >> reporter: and the crew onboard that orbital craft included billion is their -- billionaire entrepreneur jared i.c.e. alaskaman. the landmark 5 a-day mission if checked off several milestones including taking the crew the farthest from earth that anyone has traveled since the tend of nasa's apollo moon missions more than 50 years, and it also
3:05 am
included the first ever commercial space walk conducted by non-professional astronauts. the main if mission was to test the mobility and functional i of spacex's new extra the vehicular activity suits that could one day be used for long duration space flights and elsewhere. the crew conducted more than 35 research studies and experiments from 31 partner institution. the mission crew dragon capsule launched last week after several delays, but no issues now. mission accomplished. a giant leap forward for the commercial space industry, guys. will: thank you, chanley. what an incredible feat for, i don't know, innovation? what man can do. rachel: what billionaires can purchase too. i mean, like, you can go on a space walk. pete: get to know a billionaire, that's the lesson here. and the other lesson is i never thought i could be an astronaut,
3:06 am
but now either i which if i either become a billionaire or become really good buddies that somebody will nose at a country club in -- nose at a country club in dallas. [laughter] will: leroy chao with us this morning. this can't be underlined enough, this was private, this was funded by jared isaacman who did the space walk himself. talk to me about what kind of training he would have had to go through to go up in space and conduct a space walk. >> sure. well, this mission was in the planning for over two years, so i'm sure they got plenty of training. i know the folks over at spacex, i did some consulting for them over the years, and i know they're very serious about safety, so i'm sure the crew was well preparedded as evidenced by fact that everything went off as plan planned. so they were mostly going out to test this new space suit. it's kind of a cool deal because this is the first time this suit has actually been in space, and
3:07 am
it was done, as you pointed out to, by a non-professional crew. it did raise my eyebrows a little bit at first, but it was relatively simple. basically, they were on umbilicals all the time which was feeding them oxygen, communication lines and hinges like that, and the actual evas only lasted a few minutes. basically stand up, get a look outside of the hatch and evaluate the performance of the space suit. but nevertheless, this is the kind of the beginning of, as you pointed out, the commercial era. we can envision one day maybe not too long from now when companies like spacex will actually have their own astronaut the corps and no longer depend on nasa astronauts or even former nasa astronautses. pretty cool stuff. rachel:s the really cool. i love the idea of it being privatized and not having to depend on the government for these kinds of experiences. so when they lifted up that hatch and looked out, what would they have experienced? if even though you said it was a
3:08 am
brief amount of time, i'm curious. >> oh, it's -- space walks are, for me, i've done six of them, every one of them is kind of a surreal experience, almost like am i really here doing this. every time i've gone outside the hatch, i'm in what i call a hyperaware state. you're very much aware of everything you're doing, where your deather thes are, where your tools are -- terts, every now and then you steal a view of that earth, looking back at our beautiful earth, and it's just surreal and breath taking. it's just a fantastic sight. florida. pete: really cool. apparently, this site went further out than any flight since the apollo mission in 1972. why has it taken us so long to go further out? what's significant about that? >> well, that's right. shuttle missions and the space station are generally about 22800 pile -- 2800 miles, and this -- 28900 miles, and -- 280 miles up, and this one was
3:09 am
around 500 miles up. they had some specific experiments they wanted to do, kind of touching the lower rah radiation belts. one of the consequences is you're exposed to higher levels of radiation, and so that's kind of why the space station is where it is. but being up there briefly, for a few days, was, you know, not too big of a deal. and they were able to perform their experiments. but, yeah, it also affords if you that view that yo -- no one, as you with pointed out, has seen since the apollo missions. will: real quick question, i'm just curious what this might have cost. do you have any sometimes what a billionaire would have funded to go for a space walk? >> this was a joint venture between spacex and jared jared isaacman was two employees became the first employees to get to fly into space, and they were evaluating space, and's space suit, so i'm sure he had to fund a good part of it.
3:10 am
but just for comparison, the rocket is probably in that $40 million range. the spacecraft maybe another 50 just with off the top of my head or, you know, just guessing here. the whole mission was probably, you know, with all the operations maybe a couple hundred million dollars. so, you know, i don't know what fraction of that jared isaacman funded, but he's got three more planned including flights of the upcoming starship which hopefully we'll see another flight test here in the next month if or so. but spacex, i have to say, is doing some pretty exciting things. will: very cool. leroy chao, thank you very much for being with us this morning. i read the biography of elon musk, whatever they spent, it's a fraction of what massa had to spent. ed they're doing it for less than -- pete: the government has been? will: and he becomes the 264th person to perform a space walk. pete: at first when i saw this topic at the beginning of the show, i was like -- then when
3:11 am
you look at it -- will: it's a pretty big deal. rachel: if you were a billionaire, is that how you would spend your money? will: i'll say this, i just finished a book -- can. rachel: i thought you were going to say, i just made a billion. [laughter] will: i have read two books in a row about the 17000s -- 1700s when these guys were getting in ships and -- you're look at the modern day version of it, pushing the edges of the known earth. i think that's pretty cool. rachel: so the answer's yes. pete? pete: yeah, of course. rachel: you would. >>some. pete: i'm never if going to have that, so i don't want to think about. i would just buy a bun of land. anyway, speaking of -- i don't know, there's no easy transitio- will: back to earth. rachel: back to earth. pete: kamala harris was in washington, d.c. for the congressional black caucus dinner, and she gave some
3:12 am
remarks talking about the threat that we we face as a nation. here she is. >> the cdc has always had a vision for the future of our nation if -- cbc, a future where we can see what is possible unburdened by what has been. a future where we pull fill the promise -- fulfill the promise of america. and today -- [applause] that vision, our vision, is under are profound threat. while we move and fight to move our nation forward toward a brighter future, donald trump and his extremist allies intend to take our nation backwards. they will give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations, cut social security and medicare and end the affordable care act which
3:13 am
the cbc fought so hard to pass. but we are not going back. pete: nice long -- will: speaking to the congressional black caucus, the significance of which is she needs, as every democrat has needed, the black vote. politico has a headline that read harris needs incredible turnout among black voters, but there are warning signs. those warning signs, by the way, highlighted by reuters. pete: the headline said one in four u.s. black men if under 50 support trump for president, naa a cp poll finds. so, rachel, i think it was two cycles ago, two or three, it was the 95-96% of the black vote was going toward democrats. that's changing, and that's problem may not for them. -- problematic for them. rachel: you can prove this almost anecdotally. i've spoken to so many black men that i know that have said they're voting for donald trump.
3:14 am
it's also happening in the hispanic demographic. i'm hearing that they're investing, the democrat party, kamala harris' campaign, investing in ads in baseball games, boxing matches. that's a red flag. they are worried that they're losing minority men. i think they're pretty confident they can keep the black women in the fold, but they're worried about black men, and i think black men are worried about the economy. will elle it's not just whether they choose to vote for donald trumping it's whether they choose to to vote at all. democrats need the turnout. they need the votes, but they need the turnout as well. if they're unenthused by kamala harris and they just don't go vote, that's a problem for kamala harris. rachel: there's another demographic that the democratic party takes for granted, and that is women. we were talking about it yesterday here on the couch, will, and that is war. a lot of women are very worried about how -- pete: i thought you were going to say eating cats.
3:15 am
rachel: well -- [laughter] that's a peta issue. will: or eating healthy. rachel: they're concerned about eating healthy. but really, you know, the situation in ukraine, and it hasn't been covered enough by the networks, it is the escalating. we are flirting with world war iii. and a lot of moms are saying not my son. and a lot of people are figuring out that there is one president who was just in office of which no wars were started, and he was actually bringing people home and closing down wars, and we have this administration who, i think, is very -- pete: well, it's getting more reckless. rachel: -- reckless with our children's futures. will: i made a joke about eating healthy, but that's one of the planks pushed forward by robert f. kennedy jr. in his endorsement of president trump. it's war and so many issues where tulsi gabbard and rfk have now been campaigning for donald trump and talking about the
3:16 am
change in the democratic party. >> you fast forward to where we are today and with the democrat party has gone, it represents none of those things and, unfortunately, is propagating and standing for the exact opposite. it's a party that now is under the control of this elitist cabal of so-called woke warmongers -- >> it's become the party of war, it's become the party of surveillance, it's become the party of censorship, it's become the party of big tech, big ag, big pharma, big banking, wall street, the fed, all of these power centers that now finance the democratic party. pete: it's an interesting and pretty effective duo -- rachel: i was going to -- pete: -- in places where you want to to reach independent or disaffected voters. rachel: 100 president. will: and that was in one the
3:17 am
big states, arizona. as he describes the democratic party has become, it's right there hand in hand with getting the endorsement, for example, of dick cheney -- rachel: right. will: on one hand you've got rfk and tulsi gabbard campaigning for a republican, and dick cheney endorsing a democrat. rachel: and you see why so many people in the establishment, in the swamp, if you will, and in the military cannot stand donald trump. this upending, political realignment is just so -- we can go back three years, could you ever have imagined this? could you have imagined a unity party of donald trump and rfq jr. and tulsi gabbard and their all working together? pete: if heir not clamor being to have dick cheney on the trail, because there's no appeal there. whereas donald trumping you want tulsi gabbard and rfk jr. on th-

can only find that in relationship. so what we're searching for isn't religion, but what we're searching for is relationship. rachel: i have to believe that the decrease in the trust in institutions also has a lot to do with that. but let's talk about what happened, look at these numbers here. so you have there's a 4% increase none affiliated gen-zers, 7% increase in religiously-unidentified boomers. so you have those numbers. we also have the unaffiliated among political parties, so 333% of democrats una affiliated with any religion -- 33%. 12% of republicans unafilluated. we're seeing a decrease in people identifying as christians. i want to talk about what happens to the country when less people identify themselves as christians when so many of our rights are rooted in christianity. what does that do to the to the country? >> absolutely, that's a very good question. and like you said, america is a christian nation. we're founded on christian morals, so how is america supposed to stand if americans
3:43 am
aren't leading in those same roles? i know people aren't going to like me saying this, but without christians in america taking a stand, without christians in america being the backbone of this country, america will not stand. we will totally falter because we will no longer have a basis of truth. rachel: there's no question about it. i think it absolutely changes our understanding of where our rights come from which fundamentally changes the country and many -- in many, i think, negative ways. they don't want to go to church, they're looking for something more authentic, i think somethinglight might get in that, in that so many people have support from a church community. i'm so worried about young people anyway, you know, working from home, remote work, they're not interacting enough and now they're saying i can do my own religion thing without a church community. >> 100 percent. i mean, we've seen this time and time again, even the government has tried to take the place of
3:44 am
churches when really, you know, it's up to the churchs to step in and be the community and help those and give not handouts, but hand-ups. and if we don't have the church as the backbone, then we will definitely lose our country. rachel: really fast, what can church leaders do to bring young people back into the pews. >> speak the biblical truth because that is what gen-z is desperately searching for. we respect searching for fluff anymore, we're searching for awe innocenttity -- i authenticity, that a world we know is alive, and we're in the going to get that unless our preachers willing to take the stand and speak the truth boldly and unapolo jettically. rachel: all right or caroline, great words. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you so much. rachel: will? if. will: we'll turn now to a few additional headlines. nato officials says ukraine has military and legal reasons to use long range strikes to get combat advantage. the biden-harris administration still besiding -- deciding

pete: former nfl players calling on miami dolphins' quarterback tua tagovailoa to retire after suffering his third consumption cushion in just -- concussion in just three seasons. will: he's now reporting to meet with neurologists earlier this week before making decisions about his football future here with his take, the author of the new book, "find a way," merrill hodge. merrill, good morning to you. i think i'll start very open with you, what do you think? a lot of guys have opinions on tua's future. you have a lot of personal experience with concussion cushions. -- concussions. what do you think about about a what? >> first of all, i've lived this. a little difference in my experience in chicago, i went into cardiac arrest, laid in
3:52 am
intensive care for days and was an absolute mess and had no treatment or rehab. let's walk through, actually, the process. you said he's going to be meeting with neurologists, which is true. he'll go through a lot of things, an umbrella, that fall if urn the umbrella of care. so these are the things they'll look at. first of all, a lot of mris and scans. so if there was permanent tissue, damage, right there, they wouldn't let him return to play, then they'll evaluate and repair him in three areas, cognitive, visual and stability the. if he were to have any problems in any one of those areas and wouldn't recover from it, he wouldn't be allowed to return to play. and the last one is he does have a history here, so -- and he's been to a bunch of different doctors, so he'll be able to match his recovery to his past issues. and if that recovery is longer, that would be another reason that they wouldn't allow him to return to play. so just under the umbrella of care, that whole process that we're talking about,s which is actually incredible today
3:53 am
because you can really recover and repair from almost all types of injuries. i mean, brain injuries and head trauma. done properly, you know, you're going to find out if he's able to return to play or not. now, after all that information is done, let's say none of that comes up where a doctor says you got to retire. he can still opt out, you know, and that might be a choice that he does consider based on his history. pete: welsh you mentioned his history, merrill. here's a timeline of what concussions tua has suffered. the final play of his college career at alabama had a concussion, a back injury in 2022, cleared the concussion protocols, then he had another concussion versus the bengals in '3222. the players' associate fired the consultant who cleared tua to play, he he had another concussion, and on thursday night when i saw this hit live, i knew a decent amount of his history with concussions, it just pelt like, man, this could be too much. if you were tua and you were
3:54 am
cleared, would yo go back on the field knowing what you know? >> well, i will say this, pete, having been in this if that scenario with not all the a information that he's going to have today, you know, my experience, i remember my doctor had officially retired and he was, like, i'm not to going to let you return to play. a couple of months later i started to feel really, really, really good, and i kept challenging him. do you think we're overreacting here? i just feel so much better. i don't drink, but i was at a wine-tasting effect and people were talking about legs on a glass. people with wine, they'll understand that. the guy didn't. i had a little sip, and i went blind. i literally lost my vision. and it was only for, like, five seconds, but to the not be able to see and not know why i couldn't see, i called him up, he was, okay, that is why i don't want you to return the play. you still have vision problems, that was probably affected with the trauma that i had had.
3:55 am
he goes, do you want permanent blindness? go back and play. and i was, like, i'll never ask you again. from a personal experience, i can't answer this. the best thing for him is to get completely recovered, go through the entire process, and then he'll be able to make, i think, the correct decision for himself. he'll know internally, he'll know through the process and history that you just mentioned. all that history's going to help him make the proper decision for his long-term health. will: you know, merrill, i don'a neurologist, i'm not a neurologist, but you have more expertise on this than i do. does the number -- i've heard conflicting reports on this. does the number of concussions you have over your career, does that mean a lot in terms of your propensity to have them in the future? by the way, can i just back that up with i also saw a report, sydney crosby in the nhl -- sidney cross e by had a ton the. of -- a ton of concussions early in his career, he had a doctor
3:56 am
fix something in his neck, and he's then had no concussions -- concussions. >> honestly, everybody is a little different. all three of us could have three types of head traumas in four years, and all of us could be really dangerous in how we repair and recover. you just menaced head trauma -- mentioned head trauma doesn't just happen around the head. the one in my career was around the jaw. they were stitching my chin up, and that's when they realized i wasn't responding to stuff. so they didn't even think about a concussion. when you mention the neck, all of that stuff has to be properly looked at. the the positive thing about this whole thing, tua's going to recover from what he's, what he's just experienced, you know? with all the evidence that we just explained that they will walk through and he'll have, i didn't have -- you didn't have it in '94. he's going to have all this information to use to make a decision to the move forward. but to answer your point, that's why everybody's so different. that's why proper care is important from visual to
3:57 am
cognitive to stability, get those things value waited properly, recover properly before you return back to the your activity. pete: merrill, you've been a leader on this, we appreciate. leader on this, we appreciate. >> thank you, man. .president we'll be right back. and see why pods has been trusted with over 6 million moves. but don't wait, use promo code big25 to save. visit pods.com today. lowe's knows it's easier to make the right calls when you have the right team. dak going for it, and he fumbles. brilliant recovery with the lowe's app. he always delivers. and so does the lowe's app. in store. online. our lowe's team has you covered. dry... tired... itchy, burning... my dry eye symptoms got worse over time. my eye doctor explained the root was inflammation. xiidra was made for that, so relief is lasting. xiidra treats the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. don't use if allergic to xiidra and seek medical help if needed. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort,
