It is may 5th, Cinco De Mayo, year of our horde, 2024. There you have it. Rachel did you know margarita was supposed to be induced on Cinco De Mayo, and we decided having a daughter Named Margarita would not be good for the college years, so we moved it to tomorrow pete you made that conscious decision rachel we didnt want her in college having a 21st birthday on Cinco De MayoNamed Margarit [laughter] pete thats a lot of thought. Rachel we put a lot of thought into that. Will you wanted to avoid that moment where some boy goes your name is manager if that, ask and your birthday is on Cinco De Mayo in. [laughter] pete i think you really deprived her from the beginning. Rachel oh, my god. You guys get me. [laughter] pete wow. Well, good morning to you both. Rachel good morning to all of you. Pete we start with a fox news alert. As antiisrael rallies continue to plague college cam i puss across the country, that includes protesters at the university of Southern California refusing to leave their encampments overnight. Rachel the demonstrate theres now disrupting Commencement Ceremonieses including this one yesterday at the University Of Michigan. Will Madeleine Rivera joins us with the latest. Reporter hey, good morning, guys. About two the hours from here at the University Of Virginia in charlottesville, state and local police cleared the area saturday after the universitys president , jim ryan, said they refused to follow policies. Heres the standoff with law enforcement. [inaudible conversations] reporter the protests, which began on tuesday, were peaceful until friday when ryan says the tone changed. He says University Police tried to e solve the situation, but protesters got physical and tried to assault them. 25 people were arrested. In michigan propalestinian protesters interrupted the University Of Michigans commencement. The group marched across the center aisle Holding Palestinian flags and signs. They were met with boos. Listen here. [bleep] [inaudible conversations] [bleep] reporter and in chicago 68 people were arrested on the grounds of the Art Institute. They were charged with criminal trespass to property. Police say they refused to comply with requests to leave and move to an alternate site. Some propalestinian protesters launched whole demonstrations outside the Democratic National convention this summer x theyre9 putting pressure on the city of chicago saying their First Amendment rights are being violated. The coalition of groups say the city working with the Democratic National committee is exercising its authority to deny these organizations respective applications for Parade Permits within sight or sound of the convention. All of this stoking fears among democrats that the protests could disrupt the annual convention highlighting a political liability for president biden. Will, rachel and pete. Will thank you, madeleine. Rachel thank you, madeleine. Pete yeah. Theyre trying to avoid 1968, so the permits theyre allowing at this point are 4 miles away in a freelined treat treelined street from where the convention will happen. We didnt note it in the report, but with things really escalated especially at the Art Institute of chicago where students shoved a security officer, grabbed his keys, broke into an adjacent museum, blocked the Emergency Exits and and barricaded the gates,9 and the school says because safety is our priority, they then proceeded to negotiate multiple times with with these guys over dont worry, youll get amnesty from academic sanctions or dress passion, just come outside. Trespassing. Took them five hours to call in the if cops after the Security Guard was accosted. Rachel yeah. You guys know im a Free Speech Absolutist unless it involves violation, and yet i saw that, i i saw that visual that we had of the University Of Michigan graduation ceremony, ask and my blood boiled as a parent. First of all, those are, as you mentioned, pete, those are miserable events to attend in that theyre huge, but we go to them. I went to the University Of Chicago because if its a family moment, and its about the graduate, but really its the about the parents, we did this [laughter] pete i paid for. This. Rachel i paid for this, i built this. And then to have these people just parade through with their flags, totally steal this event from thousands of families, thousands of parents, thousands of graduates, it is the ultimate form of selfishness. Theyre bullies. Theyre bulliesful. Will well, a University Of Michigan student will join us at 7 a. M. Eastern time to talk to us about that graduation. You know, we talked about the Democratic National committee we9 and the Democratic National convention and the reflections, how it reminds if us of 1968. Pete and i have going to go off the a wall a later to talk about the similarities, and and there will be some pete actually really interesting when you dig into history. Will a headline in the Wall Street Journal from if this week shows exactly how this probably will come together based upon the way it came together on college campuses. Headline says activist groups train students for months before campus protests. This was planned, it was not spontaneous. These kids were not organized and funded, but they were trained for what youre seeing. Well see whats trained on the democratic rachel i got a flier sent to me two months ago from a guy who lives in chicago. It was a flier already recruiting for training for this convention. I actually sent it over to some producers, i sent it over to Jesse Watters team as well because they are planning and and plotting for that. The democrats know that and, by the way, theyre a very old cohort in congress. Of they remember those 68 riot pete i was there. [laughter] rachel totally. They are boom ors who know exactly what happened there and what happened to the Democrat Party and candidates after. And so thats what theyre worried about. Pete theyre going to have to try to avoid that University Of Michigan scene on their own floor, because theyll have Sleeper Delegates that will try to do this kind of stuff. Will you both mentioned youd be upset as a parent to have graduation go that way, thats exactly what Saturday Night Live launched on to when they spoofedded columbia students and parents. I think its just great, you know . Its wonderful. Nothing makes me prouder than young people using their voices to fight for what they believe in. Alfonse, your daughter must feel so supported when shes out there. Whats that now . [laughter] when whose daughter is out there . At the protests. No, no, man, you bugging. [laughter] alexis better is her butt in class. [laughter] let me find out shes in one of them damn tents instead of the dorm room i pay for. I thought you were in favor of the protests. Brother man p i am support biof yalls kids protesting, not my kids. [laughter] my kids know better, shoot. Vanessa aint crazy. She aint talking about no free, cuz i tell you what aint free, columbia. [laughter] im out here busting my hump finish. Rachel he went on to talk about how he was already mad that he was paying for tuition during covid and she was on zoom and he wasnt getting his moneys worth and also that he wanted to be at that gawtion, and they better not try that on him. So it was actually very good. Pete pretty good. A lot of material to play with. They did it already. Lets move on to politics as well where trump was actually allowed to leave New York City this weekend, wonderful to see. He went down to maralago is and held the rnc spring event. A readout from it, a lot of speakers, a lot of potential. You see on the screen most of, if not all, Potential Vp Picks on stage. Some people cede it was a bit of a rehearsal for some of those at he victim at a ballroom at maralago. And one number that came out of that was the april fund raising numbers for trump and his campaign which are at 76 million. When you consider hes confined to New York City, not a bad number of looking pretty strong coming out of april. Will yeah. And nbc news is saying that the word behind the scenes there was the top officials for former president Donald Trumps campaign believe they can flip minnesota and if virginia into his column in november. They told donors Behind Closed Doors at a republican if National Committee retreat on saturday. Pete i mean, thats either a lot of confidence or something historic is about to happen, because minnesota has gone it didnt even go for ronald abegan. It hasnt gone for republican in 40 years. Rachel yeah. Pete can and theres a huge machine in minneapolis st. Paul thatll bag votes for democrats as they have for a long time. Maybe, maybe. You want The Other SidePlaying Defense if on territory they didnt think they add to defend. If that were to happen, were in for a huge wave election. They sound confident, well see. Rachel well, he has to win wisconsin, either wisconsin or pennsylvania pete or arizona. Rachel or arizona. Of theres a number of states that if he wins, its over for joe biden. And i dont believe those two maybe virginia was on that list. I cant remember pete minnesota definitely was not. Rah. Rachel minnesota if was not. I tried to get the democrat numbers. They said they hadnt been released yet. Will in defense of ronald reagan, he was running against minnesota hometown guy, walter mondale. Pete and he only spent half an hour at the airport for one campaign stop, so if hed actually tried will congressman if Byron Donalds will be live at 7 . 45 a. M. Eastern time this morning.

Will fox news alert, Mexican Authoritieses reportedly saying an american surfer or and two australian friends who went missing last weekend may have been murdered in a vicious carjacking after three bodies were found, one of their friends now speaking out. Have had a false sense of security. Going down there seems so safe, and if its marketed as everyone can do it. Its baja, right . Although theres cartel violation, its always seemed cordoned off. At the end of the day, we want to know the truth, and that is up to the governments to Work Together and make that happen. We its so important that we know. Will a pickup truck belonging to the american was found burned along the coast as two men and a woman are detained on suspicion of kidnapping. Investigators found a fourth body nearby reportedly idd as the Property Owner who went missing a few weeks ago. Nicole parker joins us now. Nicole, we dont know exactly what happened. Theres some suspicion it was a carjacking, and the bodies have not been positively identified just yet, but it is shocking. Even though we know its dangerous in mexico, there is still some presumption of ability to travel. Well, first of all, id like to touch on the original points you made about the status of the investigation. You know, there are a lot of things that are being unraveled and discovered as we speak, and thats very important to these Family Members who have lost their loved one. When a crime occurs in a foreign country, you know, the United States is not the lead investigator on it, and and so were relying on those in mexico to carry out this investigation. But the fbi and the State Department and Australian Authorities are certainly involved. Although the bodies have not been positively identified based on forensics, based on description its pretty much, you know, theyre pretty sure that a these are the victims of this potential crime. Very, very sad. You always think, you know, its not going to happen to me. The state Department Issues very strong warning, and i, you know, ive worked very closely down in mexico city, and americans and other foreigners, you know, t not really going to happen to me. These were or three grown males. One of them was, i believe with, 64. You dont think nips going to mess with you anyones going to mess with you, but these individuals are violent. When i was in the fbi academy way back when, in 2010, we were specifically told if you travel to mexico against a warning, you are traveling at your own risk. So i cannot stress enough how important it is to heed the State Departments travel warning. Will yeah its a great point about the travel warning. To be honest, ive ignored that travel warning. Ive taken a surf trip to mexico with my brothers. I didnt go to baja. And the presumption kind of at least in our mind, well, thats where Cabo San Lucas is, im not going to interact with the cartels. You understand the Cartel Violence exists, but you think it exists within the cartels, ask and you hope youre never some type of mistaken identity. This seems like, whoa again, we dont know what these guys were doing beyond going on a surf trip, but it would have checked the boxes, although theres a travel advisory, im not putting myself in a a position of danger. Correct. And im a very Dig Proponent do not live in fear. We cannot let People Terrorize us, but there is that fine balance. Do not live in fear or but also be responsible and heed the warnings. I am not blaming these victims, you know in they have the right to do what they would like to do and go on a wonderful surf trip. They posted amazing posts on social media. They were having a fabulous time. Live your best life, im a huge proponent of that. What i do advise is if you are traveling in a foreign country, the State Department does have a program. Its called step, the smart traveler enrollment program. You can go on to their web site and put in your information, and that will immediately link you to local embassies and consulates in case there is an emergency, that authorities and and u. S. Authorities are aware and can help as quickly as possible. Will and, nicole, one last thing on this. How common, i mean, this story, first of all, deserves anticipation on its own merits. This is attention on its own merits. This is incredibly sad and scary. I know, i am from texas. People travel to mexico to cabo, pert if Vallarta Puerto Vallarta or cancun. How common is it for americans to be dealing or nonmexican nationals to be doling with danger when they travel in mexico . Sadly, i believe its quite common. I also am from texas, will, and i used to cross the border all the time, hey, lets go get some food. I used to visit friends in california, and wed cross the border for lunch. Unfortunately, we are not in a state where that is a good idea, it is not smart. These cartels and other organized crime groups, they are brutal. They do not care. Whether this was a carjacking, they were trying to rob them, whatever the end result might be of the investigation, you have a target on your back, and you have to live safely. And protect yourself in the best manner possible, but do not trust for a moment, oh, this just happens to everybody else. Youve got to be aware and be safe. Will i just heard a story recently of an american businessman who was take on a private if plan out of the fbi, taken, hood thrown over his face, kept for a week for ransom. Literally, i dont know how you would make yourself exempt from whats happening in mexico if you travel to mexico. Nicole, thanks for being with us this morning. Thank you. Will all right.

Devastating floods hitting east texas yesterday reaching levels not seen since Hurricane Harvey. Some parts of the state seeing up to 10 inches of rainfall. Sorry about that. In houston an officers Body Cam Footage shows a man and his e two dogs being rescued from the warts. Lets turn now to chief meteorologist Rick Reichmuth for our forecast. Rick remember Hurricane Harvey . It was that hurricane that hit and then stayed in the area for days and dumped up to about 60 inches of rain. That caused that flooding of. This has been day after day of rounds of rain, and we have it again today. It will begin to dry out tomorrow, so just weve got to get through one more day here. This is where our Flood Threats are, and overnight dallas area got a lot of rain along ia 35, Flash Flooding going request on there and throughout the day today, a level three out of four threat again around the houston area. Be watching for this potential for Flash Flooding here. This is the radar as it looks right now, but its all part of kind of a broader system. While the rain will die can down a little bit by the time we get towards tomorrow, we are going to be watching the Severe Threat pick up again. We have had so many tornadoes the last few weeks and look at those tomorrow and very busy day especially across parts of kansas and oklahoma. Tuesday, wednesday, slides a little farther off towards the east, but i think tomorrow is that big day where were potentially going to see some to tornadoes. This is all part of the system bringing some significant snow if across the west. Still talking about that in california. Elector rachel, back over to you. Rachel thank you, rick. For the first time in 20 years, congresswoman Kathy Mcmorris rogers is not running for washingtons 5th Congressional District joining the growing list of republican lawmakers leaving congress. The filing deadline isnt until friday x theres already 12 candidates who have thrown their hats in the representation. Michael baumgartner is one of them, and he joins us now. Miking thanks for joining us this morning. Off lot of people running. What are you doing the stand out in the pack . Well, i think the first thing to say is the fact that so many people running is a good sign. You know, a lot of people think the with so many members of congress leaving that the Republican Party is in trouble, and i think the fact that we have so Many Americans willing to step forward, i think, is a great sign. I really differentiate myself from the pack with a track record of beating democrats. When i got into the state senate both before or or and after, a track record of creating balanced budgets without Tax Increases and, of course or or my previous experience doing counterinsurgency in iraq and afghanistan is different as well. And weve seen that difference manifest itself in fund raising sport, popular support. I raised more than twice as much money as all the other candidates combined. Takes more than just money to win an election, but it certainly helps. Its its a demonstration of confidence in me. Rachel youre out on the Campaign Trail talking to people in your district specifically. Whats the top issue that youre hearing about . People are absolutely concerned and outrage ared by the situation at the southern border. That has to be priority number one. If we dont solve the southern border, we wont have a country. All these Law Breakerrers accusing the refugee e system, we certainly have compassion for true refugees, but all these people abusing the system and all the drugs and fentanyl coming across the southern border, it has to be solved. Rachel yeah. Your wife is an immigrant. Thats right. My wife is from britain with. We met in afghanistan. Anybody that doesnt believe in god should learn the story about the baumgartners. We now have five beautiful children. Were living the american dream, but were very concerned our children wont inherent meter can inherit that chance at the american dream. We want a strong the america. Rachel you know, when i think about the top issue that no ones talking about nearly enough, its the debt. What are your answers to the debt . If because i think its going to triple cripple this country. It already is. Well, it is a concern. It is not fair to leave 35 trillion and counting to the next generation. When i was in the state senate, e was the vice chair of Ways And Means and even in a a leftwing state like washington, we took the majority as republicans, and we created balanced budgets that didnt require Tax Increases. So it kind of requires prioritization. When i was in the legislature, we cut five unnecessary Government Agencies and saved money on unneeded bureaucrats, and thats the same sort of thing we need to do at the federal level. Rachel and what about the Balance Of Power . If i mean, thats something that youve been talking a lot about, that you think congress has given too much to the Executive Branch. How do you think you can solve that problem in i mean, even if youre elected, you know, you have hundreds of other members on your team who havent done anything about it so far. Well, Congress Needs to do its job. The Founding Fathers came forward today, they would hook at the growth of the federal government and be outraged, and theyd be so confused that Congress Gave away so much of its own power. Congress should be the strongest of the three, branches of government, not the weakest. We we need to stop giving so much authority to the Executive Branch and, by extension, the judiciary. Congress makes laws. Stop all these continuing spending resolutions and stop passing bills that give executive authority to the Executive Branch. So thats a start. Congress just does its job, well be a lot better off as a country, and the Balance Of Power will be restored. Rachel well, its a very interesting race. A lot of people have their eye on it. We wish you luck and hope to get an update from you sometime soon. Thanks so much for having me. Rah ea ray you got it. Controversy over a dei hearing.

The hearing, which original ally was supposed to be in person, was moved to a virtual setting at the last minute after many had already booked their flights and some, like the image youre seeing here, suggesting they were kicked out of the virtual meeting. I dont know if we have the image, but or werent able to join at all. The veterans wanted to speak out against the negative impact of woke with ideology in our military. Including our next guest, a u. S. Or air force veteran whos also part of stars which stands for stand together against racism and radicalism in the services. If served our country as a threestar, Lieutenant General rod bishop. Sir, thank you so much for joining us. Youve commanded tens of thousands. There was a public hearing that was supposed the happen. It was posed to be in person, hen they moved it online, and then they limited it to 100 people, and you were not allowed in. What is this dei committee, first of all, and what was this meeting about . So, peeve, thanks for finally getting to meet ya. This committee, Defense Advisory Committee on diversity and inclusion, is a followon to another organization that kind of flew behind beneath the radar for many years. That organization was called Military Leadership and diversity. Commission. And what these two committees are doing, the first one who wrote the blueprint and created the foundation for this dei empire in our United States military. Pete it why is the dod so obsessed with dei . I know in my background, i know in yours race was something that was not it wasnt a factor. It wasnt how we looked at soldiers or airmen. Now theyve made it an obsession with dei. Why is that . Pete, i think you nailed it a couple weeks ago when you announced your new book, the war on warriors. Its being pushed upon the military by some political idealogues. And, unfortunately, it is unadulterated, undeniable, easily proven marxistbased ideology thats being forced down the throats of our servicemen. Our own dod is not only that facilitating it, theyve built an empire to track it and to make sure that, you know, the provisions of what theyre ordering are being carried out. Pete president general, why are other generals going along with this . Youre standing up, ore generals, other colonels are standing up. Why are people in power who know better than this housing this dangerous ideology to allowing this dangerous ideology to infiltrate the ranksesome. You know, pete, at first i wanted to give the general officers and the leaders the men foyt the doubt, but theres just so much on this now that they just is have to know, you know, that those marxist roots. You know, when i talk about the marxist roots, people sometimes say, hey, come on, you know, lets be positive. Well, if it didnt come from the frank further school frank if further if school that shed up shop in columbia of all places, still a hotped of Leftist Ideology hotbed, is then where did it come from . The the leaders of today, unfortunately, just dont seem to have the moral courage to stand up against this. Theyre too concerned with their next pete thats exactly right. Its a Feedback Loop that incentivizes them to do nothing and go along with the idealogues so they can get promoted and get future jobs when they leave the military. By the way, whats by the way, check out their web site, starrs. Us because the amount of examples that you have from people actively serving, its an amazing resource, people that reach out and share their stories. When you hear from people serving and the impact of this dei ideology, whats the impact on units, on readinesses, on capabilities . Unfortunately, negative impact all the way around, pete. You asked me yesterday why this matters. It matters because theres two organizations, i think, in our United States that we least likely want to have this indoctrination if taking place, our k12 young, impressionable minds of our kids, and you attack that in the in the battle for the american mind. Thank you, and the other one is the mill tear. The people who write a military. The people who write a blank check as collateral with their lives, those are the and now youre attacking that with with the war on warriors. Thank you again for that. Whos going to want to fight that if were all taught from kindergarten that were racist and a bad country in i dont think im going to raise my hand and say, no yeah, im going to take this oath of office. Pete bingo, and thats why they cant fill the ranks. Some at the top might want it that way. Lieutenant general rod bishop, thank you for your service. And the organization is starrs. Us with two rs. Check them out. Appreciate your time, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Pete you got it. By the way, we reached out to the Department Of Defense for a statement but did not hear back, and im grateful to the general for mentioning my new book, the war on warriors. We go into great detail about how dei is being peddled and pushed just as the general had said and the if impact on units. I saw it e firsthand in my domestic deployment here at home. Its scary, its ensid yous, and its crushing our ranks. Check it out Anywhere Books are sold. All right, toss it now to rachel. Rachel thank you so much, pete. Turning to your headlines.
