[laughter] rachel: i'm just pointing out we have a lot of fans in camden. pete: do you know that as a fact? will: i think we do. pete: you think we do? will: big. big base. pete: camden? will: they're not big pete hegseth fans anymore p. pete: if you're from camden, new jersey, e-mail us, friends friends@fox foxnews.com, and give us the best pro-camden argument. do you know something i don't know in. will: no, i just know you're kicking an americanty right in the middle of -- pete: some deserve to be kicked. will: -- right in the middle of the family jewels. pete: are you pro every american city? with. will: absolutely. rays rays -- rachel: he's running for president now. will: exactly. pete: every american city is awesome. i don't think it is. will: if we throw up dayton, are you going to kick -- pete: no, i'm cool with dayton. will: what's dayton got over camden? if. pete: the dayton flyers. dayton's got the nfl, it's right near the hall of fame. camden, right next to dayton. boom. will: camden's next to dayton? rachel: dayton ohio. will: i'm messing something up. the hall of fame is not in camden -- pete: yes, it is. will: say the name in our ear again.

[laughter] will: chinese pete. pete: i'm the only one that wanted the ban tiktok here, and somehow -- will: texas -- pete: he only loves one state, rachel. will: what are you doing, will? nothing. there's a tar back here somewhere. -- star. let's get this thing on the rails by talking about something that was off the rails. rachel: it was off the a rails. pete: speaking of loving america, part of loving america is believing we should have borders and that the people that come into this country, western know who they are. right now we've lived under rampant illegally for three years, and the consequences have been horrible and personal. in one particular case it's been front and center, you know it in georgia, laken riley killed by an illegal. well, marjorie taylor green was there wearing a maga hat, and she called out joe biden in the middle of the state of the union address saying, "say her name." interestingly, joe biden actually did respond. if you missed it, here's what happened. >> not really. i -- >> [inaudible] [inaudible conversations] >> lincoln, lincoln riley, an innocent young become who was killed -- woman who was killed by an illegal. that's right. but how many thousands of people have been killed by illegals to to her parents, i say my heart goes out to you having lost children movements i understand. pete: so he said a name, it just wasn't the right one. he said lincoln. will: we said this earlier in the show, i want to take just a moment first of all, he mispronounced her name. he said the wrong name. the actual person who is the head of the football program at usc. and to that, allison phillips, the mother of laken riley, biden doesn't even know the name of my child. it's pathetic. if you're going to say her name, at least say the right name. okay. so he did that, which is offensive in and of itself. and, and then there was the point about a illegals, and he used the word illegal instead of, i guess, undocumented. and that, more so than the death of laken riley, seems to have -- pete: yes. will: -- really inspired democrats to speak out. watch. >> did you think that he should have said undocumented? >> we usually say undocumented. >> he should is are used the word with undocumented. i don't believe that the president's heart is with the word illegal. i think, frankly, i think he shouldn't have responded to a very disrespectful republican member who was shouting at him, the president of the united states. that is not appropriate. rachel: yeah, it's so interesting all these democrats coming out of the woodwork to defend the dignity of this illegal who murdered an american. and just imagine being laken riley's mother. your child died, but it doesn't fit the narrative that the president of the united states wants to push which is an open border. and he doesn't even know your child's name even though this has been the number one story, or you know, in my view, on the border in the last week. just in the days leading up the it, it was huge. he had to have known this was coming, and yet he couldn't find it -- he probably hasn't talked the about it enough that this name is in if his head. it's in all of our heads because we've been thinking about that family. and on another point, this is going to have major implications. i know when this happened as a woman, every woman and especially every mother has a heart for what happened. they -- you know what it's like to be on the street, be vulnerable. we all have young daughters like laken, and, i mean, you heard in other elections there were security moms? i think there's going to -- you're going to see the rise of border moms, women who are going to the polls and thinking about this could have been my child, this could have been me out for a jog and that these people should not -- this could happen in broad daylight, this could happen to anybody. pete: and now we're learning that the perpetrator, the killer, was a member of a venezuelan street gang. rachel: that's right. pete: so the people that are being caught at the border and released and arrested and released are not just newcomers looking for a job, they're gang members being released, and we have no idea. and now they're killing innocent civilians. and the reason this is such an outrage, the death was preventable. rachel: absolutely. pete: because he didn't belong here. when joe biden's next sentence was, yes, she's killed by an illegal, but what about all the people that are killed by illegals? if he meant to say legals. that's called crime. will: first of all, i want to address that point. but first, i want to play what joe biden had to say about this whole concept of illegals. >> reporter: do you regret using the word illegal to describe immigrants last night, sir. >> well, i probably -- i don't -- technically, he's not supposed to be here. [laughter] will: so, okay. everything we've talked about so far is about the things that joe biden messed up and didn't say the way -- like you said, he knew this would come up, and so he had to think ahead of time, what will i say, right? if. pete: yeah. you know he's prepped for this. will: he wasn't prepped to say meaning didn't get the name right, used the term illegal. i actually want to address what he did mean to say which is what you point out, pete, he meant to and was prepared to say but how many people are killed with by americans, legal. so what he's saying is, i mean, in's sense, he's saying don't -- in essence, he's saying don't malign an illegal immigrant who committed murder because americans commit murders. which, by the way, is a stupid and grotesque point to make in the moment. yes, of course, we have murder in america. the point then is we don't need to haphazard ally and illegally import extra. pete: we don't need more murderers. will: we don't need more. we're full here. that's what he spent a week preparing to say, so equivocate this and crime that already exists in america. pete: correct. rachel: and so you talked about that this young man, this illegal, is a gang member from venezuela. so we know -- we don't know which gang, although it's pretty obvious it's the most dangerous gang right now in latin america, growing faster even than the cartels, the cartel gangs in mexico. finish but i talked to sheriff troy nehls last week on my podcast, and he said to me in 2021, since he was a former sheriff, that he had talked to the border patrol, and the border patrol said we're getting a notice from homeland security to watch out for gang members from venezuela because they might be emptying their prisons. and so he and 13 other members of congress wrote to alejandro mayorkas and said, hey, what intel do you have on nicolas maduro in venezuela emptying the prisons? never got a response. never got a response. this past week i had joseph humir everything, the executive director of the certain for a secure and prix society, he's also a visiting -- free society, he's also a visiting fellow at the heritage foundation, and we talked about the chinese in latin america, but we also talked about these venezuelan gangs. venezuela and china are working hand and hand, and that's why you're also seeing this increase in chinese coming over the border. but i asked him specifically about these gangs. he was on the show earlier today. here's what he a had to say. >> there's a few things that i think the audience really needs to understand. the first, it's the fastest growing transnational criminal organization in the world. only six years ago they only had a presence in two countries in south america. venezuela and colombia. fast forward six years and they're now present in at least ten countries throughout the western hemisphere if including the united statesfuls i've never seen a criminal organization grow that fast, not even the mexican cartels expanded that fast. the second point to that is they've already destroyed south america. pete: yeah. they destroyed south america, now they need to come here and kill our college students? and that's your point, will. that's the distinction that they refuse to make. rachel: but make sure you give the illegals the dignity of calling them undocumented -- can. pete: nope, newcomer. rachel: newcomers is the new word. and i'll say this as well, you know, this isn't just the -- this is a globalist agenda. if you can get rid of the idea of illegal illegality, this is all about globalism, one world government can, you get rid of the idea of national sovereignty. it's all tied together. pete: one of the big tools they do to push that globalism viewpoint climate change. it's the ultimate mechanism because as the elites tell us, we all have to contribute. if we don't do our part through the cajoling of the international community, then we're all going to drown. well, one of the examples of how we need to do that, right, is electric cars. they've been pushing electric cars, subsidizing them, and they've been telling us it's all clean, it's all a much cleaner approach which if you just look under the hood a little bit, we all know is a sham is. the epa, the environmental protection agency, in our own country is now looking into reports and found that electric cars are more toxic than gas-powered vehicles. i wonder if the epa will give it a fair hearing, but apparently they're looking into the toxic nature of evs. here's michael bushboxer, a law firm partner, talking about the evs reportedly mitting more soot. how can this be true? than gas cars. watch. >> they've assumed that a comparable ev and a comparable internal combustion engine vehicle are going of the same am of particulate matter emissions, and that's just not true. today's cars are so clean that almost all of the particulate matter comes from tire wear. and electric vehicles are about 15-30% heavier than a comparable conventional vehicle, and so studies have shown that the particulate matter from that tire wear and just net particulate matter in general is significantly higher for evs. but when california and epa a look at it, they treat them the same. and as we explained, that's just wrong. rachel: you know what else ev vehicles have that combustible -- combustion cars don't have? if ev vehicles require do ballot which can means they require -- cobalt which means they require african child slaves to dug out the cobalt which we have, like, 40,000 of them in africa. and it seems like the green people have no copscience about that. -- consigns. meanwhile, with gas and oil you have guys with boots on working and making a family living. so you have your choice in that as well. pete: and a lot of them are mornings -- americans. and by with the way, those cobalt9 batteries are nearly impossible to dispose of. they're completely toxic, and your cars don't work. it's an interesting point, because we've regulated emissions so much on gas-powered cars, the real issue is these side issues which are more so with evs because they're heavier. who knew? will: not me. pete: learning all morning long. all right. we've got some headlines 15 minutes after the top of the hour, will, and we start with a fox news alert. and a tragic one. three people are now dead and one is hurt after a national guard helicopter crashed in texas near our southern border yesterday. three americans. two national guard soldiers and one border patrol agent were killed according to military officials. a thursday soldier onboard the helicopter is many critical condition. officials are investigating what caused the crash. and according to border patrol sources, get this, cartel members filmed the helicopter going down, and they can be heard laughing about it in a video that they filmed with a cartel drone. not sure why we're allowing those to fly, but the biden administration is. on to this, or california lawmakers are looking to ban decaf coffee -- will: i'm drinking it right now. pete: what? they say the chemical typically used to make the drink might cause cancer. will: his health kick off to a bad start. [laughter] rachel: pete has given up caffeine, so he's been drinking decaf. pete: oh, boy. the chemical is used to remove calf teen from coffee -- caffeine from coffee beans -- will: sitting here telling me how healthy you got. pete: the bill would be banned by 2027 or manufacturers would face a fine. i think this is hogwash -- will: for real. a big setback for the pete hegseth health care kick. can i just tell you, we were at breakfast, and the man will not eat the hash browns and toast. i'm not prepared for a world where pete pete leg makes choices like this. pete: by the way, my wife has been all over this for a long time. she knows about the chemical process finish. will: and she was telling you with about hydration can, like several of us in the world, and all of a sudden you've discovered hydration. pete: a viewer e-mailed me, and that's when i decided to hydrate. rachel: and you feel much better. pete: i do. thanks for the viewers of "fox & friends" if who e-mailed me -- rachel: have some chemicals. pete: i've got one more headline. decaf paint thinner. yum. [laughter] and a new report, a pentagon report says the u.s. has found no evidence that aliens visited everett. ufo expert nick pope joined us earlier, and he's skeptical. >> i've given up on expecting the government to be truthful about this. and the phenomenon hasn't gone away. we asked people at the aerospace companies,they said, no, these programs don't exist. i think we need to get these people under oath, because the whistleblowers have testified under oath. pete: the pentagon report said many claims of alien visits and ufo sight isings were misidentification which, of course, they were, because if the government says it, it's true. will: yeah, you believe the government. meanwhile, nick has an accept. that sounds like a guy that nose something about -- knows something about aliens. that accent, credibility. pentagon? not credibility. on ufos. rachel: i don't know if there's ufos or aliens or not, but i agree wholeheartedly that you should not the trust the government. so i'm with that guy. pete: if i believe everything the pentagon tell me. i took every anthrax shot they told me to take -- rachel: did you really in. pete: of course. if you're going to deploy, you have to take -- will: with i forgot to tell you, a lady this week at the diner told me the reason your hair's turning gray is you have magnesium deficiency. rachel: that's true. womenwomen i'm not kidding. and she told me to tell you, you need to start taking magnesium. i was thinking about the anthrax vaccine and the paint thin everybody. pete: i'm going to get some right now. rachel: i take it every night. pete: that's why you put the dye in your hair. [laughter] rachel: that's paint thinner too. oh, well. okay. we've got do get this back on track. of. pete: we'll try. rachel: we've got rival lie gains -- riley gaines here next. she's going to share how she became an advocate for female athletes. this is what she said on joe rogan this week. >> i'm standing on the podium, and it hit me, what in the world are we clapping for? will: next. ht feel like progres, but with 3x more nicotine than a pack of cigarettes - vapes increase cravings - trapping you in an endless craving loop. nicorette reduces cravings until they're gone for good. will: former ncaa swimmer riley gaines sharing how she became an advocate for female athletes after sharing her first place victory with trans-swimmer lia thomas in the college chances. >> i'm standing on the podium, and we're clapping and cheering and smiling, and it hit me, like, what in the world are we clapping for? because, i mean, really what we're applauding is our own erasure, our own demolition are. i felt guilty for participating in the farce. i felt guilty for even getting in the water. pete: riley gaines is an outkick contributor and host of gains for girls podcast, and she joins us now. riley, that was a cool moment in the podcast. i mean, people think of you now because of what -- your willingness to be so bold on this topic, but you really just wanted to swim and, ultimately, you were thrown into the middle of it. >> you're exactly right. if this was never a position that i saw myself n. nevertheless, a position i saw anyone really being in. i never imagined it would be necessaries to defend what we're defending now. i 2k3wr5u9ed from the university of kentucky with my agree e in human health sciences and health law. i was set to be in dental school. i'd already accepted my seat, was going to specialize in endodonics, which is root a canals, of all things. so, look, never a position i saw myself in. truthly, i didn't understand our civil process -- truthfully. admittedly i knew we had three branches of government. i didn't know what they did. i don't even think today know what they do, to be totally totally frank with you. [laughter] so never a position i saw myself in, but i felt god's calling, honestly. and every day i pray for strength, for wisdom, for direction and protection, and he provides. rachel: yeah. and protection. you took a lot of abuse. i saw that video of you going to speak at a university, and your life was in danger. saying what's so common sense. but what i think is really interesting about your story, riley, you know i'm a big fan p i've been following you for a long time because i think you've done more than save women's sports. i think what you've done is much deeper, it's much more profound. i think you have redefined what feminism is in so many ways. the left stole feminism and said it was about abortion and the ability to kill your own child. and you actually stood the up for something that actually impacted women, and those same people who said that it was about abortion were the first ones to stand up and attack you. it was so ironic. and yet you stood strong. >> it is ironic. even just thinking about a month ago when i testified before congress, one of the democrat witnesses was the president of the national women's law center, a law center dedicated to advocating and fighting for women. and in her opening testimony, she said women should just learn how to lose more gracefully in sports. and you think of someone like billie jean king, right, really who we have to accredit title ix to, she is actively undermining everything she once fought for in fighting for male inclusion in women's sports and women's spaces. so ironic is a good word, almost comical if there weren't real consequences to what these womee feminists -- are fight fighting for. and prior to this i never would have considered myself a feminist, but i think it's time we reclaim what it means to be a feminist because, look, i am pro-woman. i am pro-truth, pro-fairness, i am pro-reality, pro-common sense. i'm not standing against anything, i'm standing for women. will: we wanted to get you on something that's e in the news, and that is the nxxt banning men from participating in their women's event. it's the feeder tour into the lpga. they've banned trans golfers from coming into the nxxt, there was a male, his name is haley davidson, and he had won a tournament, i think he was second in the standings at some point. what are your thoughts on their move in. >> well, i think this is huge. nxxt would not have done in this without public pressure and public outrage which shows you how powerful we, the people are. and it really shows you how this is a uniting issue. i think the media and our elected officials, our government, they make seem very polarize toking like it's very divisive. but in reality, it is not. when we come together, when we unify, when -- when we stand in solidarity, that's how we advance. so i could not be more proud and really grateful of the decision the nxxt had. it makes it a lot hard or e for h hailey davidson to win a bid for the lpga tournament. rachel: you stood up when a lot of mothers weren't standing up for their daughters in sports. you were the voice of common sense, and you deserve a lot of credit for what we just saw happen in that golf tournament. you stood up and took those arrows early. but you're right, common sense is prevailing, and we have a lot of people like you to thank for that. pete: thank you, riley. >> thank you, guys. i appreciate you guys. rachel: you got it. deep-pocketed democrats are sounding the alarm on the strength of the uncommitted vote in recent primaries. will: we'll ask democrat

common side effect. it's nice. people focus more on me. ask your doctor about #1 prescribed, once-daily ingrezza. ♪ ingrezza ♪ ♪ ♪ will: bad news for biden as a growing number of progress i haves are opting to vote uncommitted or no preference on primary ballots. top democratic donors call the trend a, quote, siren and clarion call adding the energy behind uncommitted should not be ignored, taken lightly or dismissed. here the react, patrick murphy, former democrat congressman from virginia is. this represents a are pretty far-left wing of the democratic base who's unhappy with joe biden over issues regarding israel. i think the real question is does that uncommitted vote stay that way through a general election, or is it simply a protest vote one time in a primary? can biden coalesce and bring them back in before the choice is biden-trump? >> yeah. will, thanks for having me on. i'm here at south by southwest in texas, i do think it is a protest vote, will. people forget barack obama had double-digit percentage uncommitted vote when he was running for re-election, and some folks were upset because barack obama at that time tripled the amount of forces in afghanistan to smoke out bin laden and bring him to justice. so much like today, yes, there are people who are doing a protest vote, but i do think they'll come back and, hopefully, will, or i think we all -- hopefully it'll be a bilateral ceasefire before the end of the weekend because ramadan starts this monday as we know. will: so if you're right, and i think that's a very reasonable proposition, that it's simply a protest vote that won't vote the same way come a general election, i want to walk through two other potential land mine issues for joe biden. the second, patrick,ing would be that there's a lot of apathy out there for joe biden. of it's the passion, the enthusiasm is just different. trump 2020 voters seem to be passionate, really ready and willing to go out and vote is. biden right now in most metrics shows such a lack of enthusiasm, what could happen is the votes stay the same, but biden's just dropped down because of low turnout. >> yeah. the campaigns, one side will be, like, wow, the person should be firedded, you've got to tell people why he should be hired, and and i do think he had a home run at the state of the union, will. people in the democratic party and some independents are really fired up that he gave a masterful performance. he told people what he's going to do. even if they don't agree with all his policies, he was strong, he was in command -- will: patrick -- [laughter] >> will, i love you, buddy, i'm just being honest with you. the fact that he a started out with ukraine, i mean, ronald reagan, will, is turning in his grave because we are at the 1-yard line. russia has lost 100,000 troops in their illegal invasion. they're having a hard time recruiting folks. we've got to make sure we unleash the arsenal of freedom here in america with our military might to help our allies -- will: i hear the argument on that issue. i hear -- you're making an issue-based argument, but i think you probably, i think if i pushed you, you're a little over your skis on home runs and masterful. home run and masterful at the state of the union? patrick, come on. real quick, i've got to go, but the third thing i want to touch on is rfk, is a third party. and in midwest polling, look, trump, bide, third polling, trump runs away with it. >> yeah. listen, i'm a kennedy democrat, but a kennedy democrat that support joe biden, on to be honest with you, will. i don't think -- i know he's an independent candidate, i don't think he has the horsepower behind him to run a national campaign. you know, he's an interesting candidate, but i don't think he's aligning himself with no labels. no labels was supposed to have, obviously, a national convention in dallas next month. that have canceled. that one is a game of musical chairs. no labels has no chair to sit in anymore because joe manchin said no if, larry hogan said no, nikki haley said no, and i think rfq jr. said no as well. will: right. all right, enjoy usand. master -- austin. masterful performance,

your family about what a monster you are in battling this cancer, let me tell you something, cancer picked the wrong hombre. hay picked the wrong dude to mess with. you are going to beat this, and here's what i'm talking about. when you get to feeling better, i want to see you here at auburn. you come to a game, you bring your family and let's are celebrate. pete: now cancer-free, sam is a freshman and the team's manager. coach bruce pearl and team manager sam cunningham both join us. what a phenomenal story, puts a smile on all of our faces. coach, first of all, that video, i'm -- what motivated you so much about sam and his case? >> you know, i think, pete, this guy right here's a mere k. and i think there's a couple reasons why. number one, his faith. he believed that god had a plan for him, and that was not to die of his cancer. and the second thing he had unbelievable support from his family, his friends at the high school and then what was about to be his new auburn family. and i just wanted to give him, help give him reasons to live and something to look forward to. and, you know, sam saw so many young kids that were going through it that didn't have the same support, didn't have the same fate that he did, and they lost their battle. pete: sam, you had a real fight. i mean, it was starting at the age of 12. what was it like to have this kind of support from coach? >> no, to get that video, that was part of my toughest days, it gave me a boost. with him saying cancer picked the wrong dude to mess with, that gave me another push to get through my darkest days. pete: and, sam, hows' it been -- the fact that that pulled you through, and coach said if you at get here, i want you on the squad, sam, did you ever think that would be a reality, hey, i'm going to be a team manager? >> well, to be honest with you, i didn't even think i'd get through all my cancer treatments with all the complications i had. but with that video and bruce telling me i had a spot, it made me push through to get where i'm at to be a part of bruce's staff. pete: that's cool. bruce, what's it like to have sam on the team? >> you know, pete, i've rot to lead -- got to lead my example. judge me by my wife, my staff and by the people i surround myself with. when i wring in a guy like sam to be an assistant, it tells the rest of the guys, look, this is how an auburn man's supposed to live and act. he is obviously is an inspiration but he doesn't want to be anybody's poster child. he wants to be the best manager, the best rudd rebounder, the best guy to help the other guys be successful. that's what's amazing about some of these cancer kids, they've got servant hearts. they're more worried about us than they are about themselves, and i love that servant attitude. pete: i love it. sam, you talked about it pulling you through, it's a winner all the way around, and i think you've got some new auburn fans out there, do -- no doubt. coach and sam, thank you so much. >> war eagle. pete: war eagle. one of the best slogans out this. all right, let's turn now to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth. war eagle was not his college nickname, but it could have been. hey, rick. rick: could have been. there's big storms across the south. tornado concerns throughout the day. a couple of tornado warnings this morning. take a look at the map. we had this one tornado watch in effect until 2:00, includes parts of florida, parts of georgia, later on in the afternoon, i think we can see that extended across areas of south carolina. that's where we've got the bigger threat for severe weather throughout the today today. tomorrow towards central florida as well. this is the storm, you see the southern side of it more active, also big flooding concerns. we've seen some spots, maybe 5-6 inches of rain over the last day, and that's going to bring if some big need ifing concerns along with this. -- big flooding concerns. and behind it you're going to have lake effect snow. the great lakes, pete, this year the lowest ever ice level on it. about 3% of those lakes froze over, and because of that we still have some lake effect snow. pete: that means more snow for longer because they weren't frozen? is that right? rick: it means you've got a moisture source that a allows the snow to develop. if it's frozen, don't get any of that moisture to evaporate up so, yeah, that's exactly what it make means. pete: thank you, brother. a big show tomorrow, florida congressman mike waltz, miami mayor francis suarez, maria bartiromo, plus, ricky dillard will perform for our faith and friends concert series. but first, we are celebrating national meatball day. oh, my goodness. and look who's here, firehouse subs, how the popular chain also gives back to
