♪ [national anthem] ♪ ♪ [national anthem] ♪ ♪ pete: welcome to "fox & friends" on this saturday morning, our nation's anthem and your photos. they continue to pour in, and we thank you for them. keep serving them, [email protected], and welcome to the show. it's august 5th, year of our lord 2023, and it's rachel campos duffy and will cain. rachel: we're all back -- the band's back together. pete: it was never apart, but it's together. great to see you guys. rachel: great to see both of you. loved the photos today, especially the photo of the virgin mary right behind the american flag. thanks for sending that. will: we want to say happy birthday this morning to louis anthony izino, he's a world war ii hero who turned 100. pete: that is awesome. rachel: he looks great, by the way. look at that, playing the piano. pete: we're until toll he plays 30 minutes a day at his retirement home in ocala, florida. on a daily basis. other folks there look forward to him plague. world war ii vet, still kicking. love it. rachel: yes, that is awesome. happy birthday. pete: we appreciate it. rachel: all right. former president trump hitting campaign trail yesterday in alabama, slamming protectors of president biden for what he says is direct interference, election interference. will: trump saying the indictment this week in d.c. was ridiculous and an ab act of desperation by the president and allies. pete: alexandria hoff joining us from washington with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. logistically, the former president's court appearance appeared like a blip on his campaign calendar. hours after pleading not guilty, trump traveled to alabama delivering remarks at a dinner hosted by the state party. here's what he had to say. >> this ridiculous indictment against us, it's not a legal case, it's an act of desperation by a failedded, a disgraced, crooked joe biden and his radical left thugs to preserve their grip on power. they want to do anything they can to preserve it. biden and his protectors know he cannot win this race any other way, so now they're trying something that hasn't been tried in this country, election interference. >> reporter: the four criminal charges the former president faces here in washington stem from his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. he feels additional legal jeopardy will only bolster his support in the '24 campaign and that the charges represent an unfair legal treatment of him versus president biden's family. >> every one of these many fake charges filed against me by the corrupt biden doj could have been filed two and a half years ago. they waited right to the middle of an election. every time they file an indictment, we go way up in the polls. [applause] one more indictment, and this election is closed out, nobody has even a chance. >> reporter: well, last night special counsel jack smith requested a protective order in the latest case writing this: all the proposed order seeks to prevent is the improper dissemination or use of discovery material it is including to the public. such a restriction is particularly important in this case because defendant the has previously issued public statements on social media regarding witnesses, judges, attorneys and and others associated with legal matters pending against him. now, the post that's being cited there in that legal form is a truth social post where the former president wrote this: if you go after me, i'm coming after you. smith argued that witnesses and the case itself could be compromised if trump were the post discovery documents op line. will, rachel, pete? rachel: it's getting silly. so he posts you come after me, i'm coming after you -- pete: well, they'd love to give him a gag order to, if they could. this is a protective order saying materials pertinent to the case can can't be released. if they could, they'd shut him up entirely, which is the point. we're callous to the fact that this last week was like nothing we've ever seen in this country. rachel: i'm not call out to it concern. pete: i didn't mean that, we all are. oh, another indictment. what we are seeing is absolutely unprecedented targeting of a political opponent. rachel: it's interesting, this week also we see alexei navalny, putin's biggest critic and opponent, getting put in jail. britain, the e.u. all issuing statements about how bad it is that putin is trying to jail his opponent. wonder if those same organizations will come to the defense of donald trump. probably not. will: it's almost like the slightly indirect shots of an indictment of a president are so loud and explosive that the direct shots go unnoticed. president trump saying if you come after me, i come after you and it's a direct shot and in surprise. it's sort of been his ethos. if you after me, i go after you. pete: i'm a counterpuncher. will: but there is another fascinating set of sound, and i hope we'll grab it later in the morning. doris kerns goodwin on msnbc said something to the effect of we have to do anything we can to stop him from winning the election. that's a direct shot. you are saying you need to subvert the democratic process. you're acknowledging donald trump's not just potential, but perhaps probability of winning an election and saying we'll do anything we can to to stop him from being president of the united states. and it's not just doris kerns goodwin, there's sound of president biden saying the same -- pete: saying the very same thing. will: -- when asked what will you do about your rival, we will do anything we can to protect this democracy. rachel: her comments were mt. context of the left's, the democratic party's, we're still stunned. we've indicted him three times and his poll numbers go up? they're freak out. then basically she said if this whole indictment doesn't work and everything else we've try on him, we have to figure out some way because it's just not tenable for us to have that guy be elected. pete: yeah. and it's staggering what he's endured. he's facing hundreds of years of potential jail time. so we went from investigations to impeachment, to to indictments, to the potential of imprisonment. this is what we're talking about, the imprisonment of a political opponent before an election. and here's a protective order, they'd love to do more than that if they could, they want to silence him. they certainly don't want him to the to look under the hood any more than he already has. and they're starting to point out his only defense is to point at hunter. it's not about me, what about hunter. but with as victor davis hansen pointed out last night on "the bottom with line," he's pointing to a two-tiered justice system that do does exist in america right now. >> none of these elites are ever subject to the consequences of their the own directive ideology. we have gavin newsom here in california that dines without a mask and then he's telling people that you've got to shut down your small flower shop because you didn't wear a mask or we've got john kerry reckturing on why we're going -- lecturing on why we're going to have to give up agriculture as he gulfstreams here and there to help us us. it's not just the unequal application of the laws, it's a haughtiness, an a arrogance that we, because of the alphabetic letters or the titles behind our name or what zip code we live many or who we associate, we're entitled to exemptions. this is going to be a reckoning, there always is. it's just a a matter of the longer we prolong it, the more, i think, the more severe and the more sustainedded it's going to be. people are reaching a boiling point. rachel: yeah. pete: it's true. rachel: i agree, people are reaching a boiling point. and the best exhibit of what he's showing, of course, is hunter biden. whoever would have thought that donald trump would be indict canned and facing all of this -- indicted and facing all of this and then joe biden and hunter biden who have taken millions of dollars from ukraine and russia, nothing's happening to them. and by the way, let's also not forget that what joe and hunter biden are trading on, let's rook at, for example, the firing of the prosecutor, you know, with this whole in ukraine and burisma and all this, they're trading on our money. so when he says, you know, you're not going to get a trillion dollars, that's a trillion dollars of our money -- pete: billion. rachel: i'm sorry, a billion dollars. might as well -- [laughter] pete: we're in the bs, what does it really -- rachel: yes. it's a billion dollars. that's a lot of money, and they're trading on our money and enriching themselves. pete: exactly right. and this week with as will and i are going to show on off the wall later in the show, confirmed the system, how it is it has worked. the moment there's information about hunter biden, here comes an indictment. the moment the plea deal falls apart, here comes an indictment. we're going to go off the wall talking about the timing of this it's week and how they've come after donald trump. rachel: meanwhile, a social media influencer is causing or caused a riot in new york city yesterday after promising to give away gaming systems and gaming accessories. pete: great. he was taken into police custody for causing that chaos as his young fans turned to destruction, even attacking police officers. will: ashley strohmier's here with the story. >> reporter: hi, guys, the twitch streamer was released from the the manhattan precinct late are last night after being charged for inciting a riot in union square. the 21-year-old has a huge following of more than 20 million people online and thousands of those followers crowded the downtown square after he announced a giveaway claiming he would hand out computers, playstation 5s and microphones from a truck. it is the unclear if he was able to give any of those things away. the crowd quickly turned to a riot with people throwing things at nypd can officers, destroying stores and jumping on parked cars. police calling it a a level four response after the crowd began to swell yesterday afternoon. police also made dozens of arrests as the situation got worse. about 65 people were taken into custody, that does include 30 minors. at least 3 police officers were reportedly hurt, but they're expected to be okay. the nypd chief of department spoke on violence against police after incident. watch. >> our officers were attacked. we were crushed, we were pushed. i had officers on the floor. as you see, i'm a little embarrassed because i'm very dirty right here, but i was mt. middle of the crowd. i was hit with multiple objects as well. >> reporter: also charged with unlawful assembly since he had no permit. he was issued a desk appearance ticket to appear in criminal court at a future date. back to you guys. if. will: what's fascinating about this story beyond the violence and rioting which is just, again, a travesty for the city of new york and is once again an example of one of the most dangerous things you can run into in life is a group of rowdy teenagers, is the pied piper effect of these online celebrities. pete: is that him? i'll. will: the turnout to union square and thousands show up. rachel: he has millions of followers. pete: 20 million. will: never heard of him. pete: i haven't either, that's the thing -- rachel: there's a whole subculture that we're just not part of, you guys. pete: we're old. [laughter] it's true, and he puts out a post about a giveaway free playstations -- rachel: and this is the reaction. pete: turns into that. will: i mean, honestly, is it a a subculture in i bet my shops know who he is. -- my sons know who he is. rachel: i'm positive my kids do. pete: new york city. you want to hope you're not on that block. rachel: it was right here at union station -- can. pete: union square, you mean? rachel: yeah. pete: we're going to go from new york to alabama because there's a public library in alabama that, so kirk cameron and riley gaines, but kirk cameron really and rare books -- rachel: brave books. pete: excuse me, have been doing see you at the library events where they are reading faith-based books or books about god, values or family. rachel: and it was a reaction to the drag queen story hours. pete: absolutely. if you can read drag queen story hours, then we can read actual books with traditional values in them at library libraries. free country, right? and a local public library said, no, we can't do it, too many people, can't host an event here. and i think did that after kirk cameron said he would be appearing at that event. will: what was the excuse? pete: not prepare to host -- rachel: those rowdy christians. [laughter] pete: we can only have 250 people, and it looks like more than that are coming, and we have to shut down the whole vent. navy had massive responses at these events, but it's going to happen. the news on this is that they tried to turn it away, but they're now saying the event will happen. here's a statement from the huntsville madison county public library in alabama to fox news digital. they with wrote: the huntsville madison county public library has agreed to accommodate the planned meeting on saturday, august a 5th, at the madison library with a limit of 25225 the -- 225 attendees. there will be over 300 libraries in 46 statements today -- states today that will be doing see you at the library event. and talking to kirk about this, he said the response has been like nothing he's ever seen. parents just want good stuff, and why can't we have that in the public square. rachel: yeah. it's an incredible thing that brave books is doing and the first time that kirk cameron tried to go to a library, the footage we just showed of this huntsville library is gorgeous. what the heck else is that beautiful facility for than to host a bunch of kids with a good, wholesome message of a book? i guarantee you they wouldn't have turned them away if these were drag queens, at least wouldn't have given the -- pete: that's a nice library. rachel: it's gorgeous. pete: why don't we fill it with people? [laughter] rachel: nice parents who wanted to do something good for their parents. riley gaines is also part of this. a lot of people we know, nicole staff fife has a brave book,ing -- nicole saphier, so does sara carter, riley gaines has one, and here's what she had to say about it. she said we've seen this before, the library has come up with an excuse to prevent us from sharing wholesome messages to children and their families because they don't want to be associated with it. the people have shown that they want to attend the event and support the mission of brave books. it's situations like in that embolden activists and antifa. i'm happy to say the event now is a go again, and we will continue forward with full force. it's times like this where we must stand our ground as conservatives, but more importantly, as christians. so brave books partnering with moms for liberty, two great organizations, and just trying to push back a little bit on the culture. pete: yeah. stick around later in the program because kirk cameron and riley gaines will be joining us live at 8:30 a.m. central time, they'll be live outside the library in tennessee where they'll be doing the first of multiple events that they'll be attending as they crisscross the cup. will: look forward to that interview. rachel: yeah, that'll be great. turning to your headlines starting with a fox news alert. two florida police officers are in critical condition after a being shot during a traffic stop in oral. in orlando. >> officers were investigating a vehicle wanted for a homicide in meme. during the stop the suspect -- in meme. during the stop, the suspect shot our officers. this is a sad day for our department. for the suspects out there, we will find you, and you will be brought to justice. rachel: police have not released the identities of the injured officers or possible suspects, but the shooters remain on the loose. with senator tim scott now pledging to finish the border e wall if he wins the 2024 presidential election. while visiting an arizona border city yesterday, he said he would continue the trump era construction. >> as president of the united states, i will finish this wall, and i will use the available technology to surveil our border to stop fentanyl from killing another 70,000 americans in the next 12 months. rae rae the move follows republicans calling for the reversal of biden era policies on border security. so far this year border patrol has reported more than 1.7 million migrant encounters. i'm sure that number's probably higher. donny osmond fans lining up around the block yesterday for one of our biggest crowds ever for "fox & friends" summer concert series, and he put on an amazing show. check this out. ♪ ♪ you and me together, you and me, you and me ♪ rachel: donny didn't miss a beat and even helped us celebrate national chocolate chip cookie day. will: what's going on there? pete: who smashed him in the face? rachel: that's not cool, that's donny osmond -- the. pete: oh, he took a bug bite out of it like a champ. will: oh, my gosh. rachel: wow. a highlight of the summer if concert series, for sure. that was right out of the pete hegseth playbook. were you and donny talking, pete in. pete: maybe, but we could also pull up the clip of will cain throwing husband face into that blue cheese dip.

>> we don't know much about it at this point. what we do know is that it was operating illegally, out poses a threat to the -- it poses a threat to the people of california and the united states. they were testing for covid and, like you said, aids and everything else, and the rats and the mice there, 2200 of them were found -- 200 of them were found dead out of 1,000. all kinds of medical equipment, medical testing equipment and human blood, and they were testing for a lot of agents. so we don't know what they were doing or why they were doing it, but apparently they're tied to the ccp and the chinese-linked firms. will: how is it this type of thing normally regulated should be urn the guidance of what -- under the guyen dance of what and what made this particular one illegal? >> well, i'm sure that, you know, you have to get -- you have to follow. >> cdc guidelines, you have to be registered, and you have to be licensed by the state and probably your local authorities, and i'm sure that this lab had none of that. and so they were operating illegally, but that's norm for chinese-linked companies. they will cut corners, and they will ott not play by the rules, and this is just another example of that. not only are they not playing by the rules, those companies that operate here in the united states, but around the world. the chinese-linked companies, because they're tied to the ccp, just don't play by the rules to get an advantage, whatever advantage they can get they'll try to get. and and that's why, you know, that's one of the things that we're investigating in our committee, how they do business here and around the world. and what we're finding is we don't like what we see. will: no doubt. and i know you said you're still in the investigation phase of this, but, you know, after what we now think is a probability that covid came from a lab leak in china, i'm not sure the answer to this question is operatively different, but i think we still want to know. you know, is this, as you said, a company linked to ccp looking to just cut corners and is sloppy if haphazard in which case we could have a big disaster, or is it more nefarious where there's a reason they're trying to avoid government oversight in which case it's more intentional? >> that's a great question, and that's something that needs to be found out. what is it that they were doing, and why were they doing it there. and what kind of a threat it poses to, again, like i said, posed to the people of california and then the people of the united states. no secret that they tried to hide for a long time that the wuhan lab was not the cause of, you know, the covid-19 when, in fact, in all probability, 99% it was. and so what are they doing there, and and what are they testing for, and what kind of threat does it pose, again, to the people of that area and eventually to the people of the united states. that's something we have to find out. will: absolutely are. this one's on our home soil. congressman carlos gimenez, thank you for being with us and helping us begin to understand this story. >> thank you, appreciate it. will: all right. still ahead, as prosecutors continue to build their case, police identify yet another victim linked to the notorious gilgo beach murders. we'll bring the the latest next. plus, more hunter headaches. shocking revelations from devon archer's testimony shows the extent of biden family influence in foreign business deals. monica crowley says this could have major national security implications, and she joins us next. they say seeing is believing, but with stearns & foster® that's only part of the story. we handcraft every stearns & foster® using the finest materials, like indulgent memory foam, and ultra-conforming intellicoils®, for a beautiful mattress, and indescribable comfort... every single night. stearns & foster® what comfort should be. for a limited time, bring home incredible comfort with $400 in savings on select mattresses. learn more at stearnsandfoster.com. listen up, you dogs with allergic itch! today's talking lesson is just one word: apoquel. ap--o--quel. ♪ you can't teach your itchy dog to talk... ...so, talk to your vet about apoquel. apoquel is for the control of allergic itch in dogs. do not use apoquel in dogs with serious infections. apoquel may increase the chances of developing serious infections... ...and may cause existing parasitic skin infections or pre-existing cancers to worsen. new neoplasias have been observed. i'm glad we speak the same language. ask your vet for apoquel. rachel: highly anticipated interview transcripts from former hunter biden business partner devon archer released this week detailing the alleged influence that the biden family wielded in the foreign business deals. archer saying the so-called brand was a major part of hunter's value in securing business partners, later confirming that he met the biden family -- he meant the biden family name when using the word brand. joining us now is former assistant treasury secretary and host of the monica crowley podcast, a great podcast, monica crowley. first of all, good morning. they say they're selling the brand, the name. but really aren't they just selling out the american people? >> well, good morning to you, rachel, and hi, everybody. yes, that's exactly what's going on here. look, devon archer's testimony was incredibly illuminating. he spoke of the bidens leveraging the biden brand, and by that they mean that there is no brand without joe biden in hue office. that is what they exploited to secure tens of millions of dollars for the biden crime family by selling influence and accesses. but, rachel, it wasn't just influence and access, it was also policy changes. rachel: yes. >> we all know, right, that when joe biden was vice president, he leanedded on -- leaned on the obama administration as well as the ukrainian are regime to fire the prosecutor that was looking into burisma and all of the corruption involved there. that led right to the doorstep of joe biden. finish and what we now know is that natalie winters yesterday broke a huge story that hunter biden was a managing director of cefc, china energy, which is a huge ccp-controlled energy firm that's not just all about energy in china and dictating global energy policy or trying to, but it's also a stated object is global domination and to neutralize the united states of america. hunter biden was a managing director of that company. so when we talk about leveraging joe bidens' high office, we're talking about manipulating and changing american foreign policy to suit the bidens' personal interests. and now joe biden is not just vice president, but he's president, and he's commander in chief. and so, therefore, this biggest corruption scandal in history has huge national security implications. rachel: yeah. i mean, let's put aside for just one second the irony, right in as they hut down american energn energy, taking us from being energy.com can significant to now having to beg for oil from other countries, they're making money off of other countries' energy deals. it's just incredible. but let's talk about how having someone who's compromised, so we know that the chinese, you know, communist party knows exactly what these dirty deals are. you know, zelenskyy in ukraine who's been getting lots of money that we can't even track, you know, is getting a lot more money. he also has the goods on joe biden. how does having a president compromised in that way to foreign leaders and, as you say, having it affect our policy? >> it's extremely dangerous for obvious reasons. rachel: yeah. >> look, all of us, rachel, that we have seen over last couple of years with mountains of evidence of joe biden, first of all, lying that he had nothing to do with hunter biden's international business transactions. well, joe biden was the reason for hunter biden's international business transactions, trading off the biden name and, again, changing american foreign policy to i suit their own family's interests. that means that the current commander in chief is not representing americans and america's interests around the world, but in high likelihood representing his own. and now he's spending so much time trying to cover up what he has done in the past, selling the united states out for his own personal interests, that you have to wonder how far of down the track we are that he has really put america on the back foot selling out not just to our worst enmies like the ccp and china, but also corrupt regimes in ukraine and elsewhere. rachel: yeah. it's so troubling. it's probably -- it is the most important story we're facing right now. monica, thanks for breaking it down for us. >> pleasure. thanks, rachel. rachel: you got it. all right, still ahead, chaos in ney's union square after -- new york's union square after a playstation 5 giveaway quickly became a riot. former nypd officer bill stanton joins us next to the react. but first, our own rick reichmuth having a fantastic time hanging out with the dolphins at florida's discovery cove. we're going to catch up with him on the flip side. ♪ ♪ -- if you feel like happiness is your truth ♪ genius! like 2.5% cash back on purchases of $5,000 or more, so sam can make smart ideas, a brilliant reality! chase for business. make more of what's yours. try killing bugs the worry-free way. not the other way. zevo traps use light to attract and trap flying insects with no odor and no mess. they work continuously, so you don't have to. zevo. people-friendly. bug-deadly. hi, i'm todd. i'm a veteran of 23 years. i served three overseas tours. i love to give back to the community. i offer what i can when i can. i started noticing my memory was slipping. i saw a prevagen commercial and i did some research on it. i started taking prevagen about three years ago. i feel clearer in my thoughts, my memory has improved and generally just more on point. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.
