>> steve: you are right, carley and todd we are starting right now. this is #:00 in new york city. this is thursday, june 20th, 2024. welcome to "fox & friends" on the curvey couch. first up, let's look at the sky. fox weather alert. heavy rains, coastal flooding and winds from tropical storm alberto expected.as the strong e continues across the northeast. >> brian: the clock -- did you wsay something? >> ainsley: that's terrible. >> brian: clock strikes at midnight. fox news polls show it's neck and neck with biden and trump. but, within the margin of error, exclamation point. >> ainsley: and sign on the dotted line. parents pledging to wait until . as in 8th grade banning together to keep smart phones out of their kids' hands. >> brian: we're wising up, america. >> lawrence: great idea. "fox & friends" starts right now. and, remember, mornings are better with friends. ♪ >> brian: that that bumper music got my attention i hope it did yours. the first presidential debate one week away and r.f.k. jr. fails to make the cut. >> president biden heads to camp david to press for the showdown with former president trump on cnn. that will be simulcast right here on fox. >> steve: and the countdown comes as a brand new round of fox news polls show a shift in the race for the first time this year. this is big. >> lawrence: we're going to dig into brooke singman has the details. >> brooke: seems unlikely independent candidate rsht jr. will take the stage with trump and biden next week. he missed that deadline to meet the polling and criteria needed to qualify. biden and trump with a large lead on r.f.k. jr. that poll puts biden at 43%. trump at 42%. and r.f.k. jr. at 10%. now, today, president biden will leave his delaware beach house for camp david. he will use the private retreat to prepare for the upcoming showdown. meanwhile, republican senators j.d. vance and marco rubio are helping trump with his prep. they are reportedly focusing on policy discussions rather than mock debates. and for the first time since october, brand new fox news polls show president biden leading trump by 2 points in a head-to-head matchup. but that is within the margin of error. another fox news poll though shows voters still don't trust the president on a number of key issues with trump leading on immigration, the economy, the israel-hamas war and guns. and trump also leading among new voters edging out biden by 4 points. the polls show trump is and biden neck and neck as the november election rapidly approaches. back to you guys. >> ainsley: thank you, brooke. >> brian: like changing the national polls shows a shift two to three points. most would say going to individual polls. obviously it's going to be close, which makes you think that next week's clash is going to matter. and i'm just wondering who has got more pressure to perform. yesterday, i think donald trump was lowering the bar. he is going to be jacked up on stuff. who knows what he will be on. the yelling a bar so low for him and three on one with jake tapper and dana bash. >> lawrence: i don't think the former president could get better people to be within his debate prep. when you have marco rubio, who goes on all the other channels and just goes into the enemy's camp. and he knows what arguments they are going to make. he knows the talking points to deliver strongest conviction. he has faced all the anti-trump questions. and then you have got j.d. vance who is really the conservative intellectual. has a story. i think that works well for the former president. i do think it's a bad idea not -- i understand the standards of the debate. but i think r.f.k. deserves to be on the stage. if you have got 10% of the country. >> steve: where do you draw the line? >> lawrence: doing themselves a disservice. >> ainsley: you have to have at least have 15% of support in four of the nationally recognized polls. and only getting that in three. 15% is a lot. but, it's not enough to win a presidential election. and in addition to that, r.f.k. jr., he has -- he just qualified for the ballot in only six states. >> steve: right. >> ainsley: you have to qualify enough ballots to win the presidential election. >> steve: 270 electoral votes. donald trump is doing -- remember, in 2020, he had debate prep with chris christie. they went in a conference room and chris christie pretended he was joe biden and they went back and forth. apparently he didn't like that. ultimately with the result because this time they're just doing the policy discussion. i was reading this morning that apparently on the biden team they have not yet selected somebody who will stand in as donald trump. >> brian: i think it should be tom shillue. >> steve: is he available? >> brian: he plays biden. [laughter] >> steve: there's the possibility it could be bob borrbauer who is the president's attorney. >> ainsley: not alec baldwin? >> steve: they are both going to go through hours and hours getting ready for this particular faceoff which is a week from today. do you know what joe biden does to get fueled up during the debate prep? do you know what he drinks? >> ainsley: mount dew? red bull? coffee? >> steve: orange gator aid. he gets up on orange gator aid. >> brian: you don't want to dehydrate. ains. >> lawrence: is he already a little slow. >> steve: wouldn't it be cool at the end of the debate going to be on cnn in a week. wouldn't it be cool if whoever wins their coach comes over and dumps a great big gator aid. >> ainsley: 95% of republicans say they are voting for trump. 95 percent of democrats voting for joe biden according to fox news poll. it's up to the independents and undecideds. >> steve: it is. and independents are breaking for joe by, i think, 9 points. joe is up by 9 with independents in the fox poll. >> brian: keep your eye on. they say they are most affected by the verdict in new york. axios had this story yesterday and it seemed valid. some democrats are expressing concern about joe biden's strategy. and this is to paint donald trump as basically an insurrectionist. say they talk about january 6th, democracy in the balance. talking about donald trump's character. they don't think that that is going to be a winning strategy. but it's one they used in 2020. it's one they used in 2022. they don't think it's going to work this time. and it's really people speaking up within his circle to come out and say, you know what? i think we should expand our represrepertoire. >> ainsley: from that article it says it is unclear many of us watching from the outside whether the president and his core team realize how dire the situation is right now and whether they have a plan to fix it. that is scary. >> steve: it is scary for the people inside the circle. but, apparently, as well, a lot of people inside the circle who are kind of freaking out are afraid to speak up because then, it's going to like you are debby downer, get the heck out of here because we are going to win. >> brian: i thought donald trump was had a bunch of yes men. >> lawrence: i find that fascinating for four years we were told that the former president surrounded himself with yes men and no one could actually give him advice. i think, honestly, it's going to be the one thing that hurts biden. it was his -- when you think about joe biden in the past, his appeal to people was he was average day guy. at least appeared to be that way. >> steve: he was a moderate. >> lawrence: he was a moderate and also was his little secret sauce was he could conversate with people and move people and do things not even considered gaffes at the time, but you weren't supposed to say that he resonated with the people. now he doesn't have that and is he not speaking the people's language. i don't know if you can have someone on the debate stage that spent 40 years of his political career -- that being his asset. we will see. >> brian: i'm going to be very interested to see what donald trump and joe biden have to be quiet for two minutes other one talks and minute retort if they will come back and say things you just mentioned the infrastructure package? the infrastructure package, yeah. remember that $42 billion for internet to the rural communities? nothing has been done. not a line has been laid. the charging stations, we gave you $30 billion to do it. we got 8. 8 in three years. is that what you are going to do? you give me that money? my people get it done. >> ainsley: that takes prep work. that does. you have to know his policies, the other guys policies and if they worked or not. and if they didn't then you have to have those statistics. >> lawrence: no notes. they ruled no notes. remember, this is the president that uses notes or a prompter everywhere. they are saying. >> brian: little cards everywhere. >> steve: printed by we don't know but that is the actual president. >> ainsley: whoever is running the country. >> steve: they are able to walk out there. is a blank pad of paper. there is a pen, and they get a glass of water. sorry, joe no, gatorade. >> brian: i remember george w. bush in his first debate against john kerry. he was slow. because he wasn't used to debates. because for four years he was helping jeb bush out with the hurricane. he showed up and didn't do well. barack obama in his first debate against mitt romney fell on his face. for four years you were focused on doing the not on sparring. these two have also not debated much over the last four years. donald trump said i'm not going to worry myself with the primary and joe biden hasn't done anything in four years. >> steve: i want to see the debate between the vice presidents. kamala harris vs. to be named. that's going to be interesting. >> ainsley: i can't wait. >> steve: right? >> brian: we are doing profiles on some of the leading contenders you did j.d. vance yesterday. steve. >> lawrence: i found it to be interesting. is he great. describes himself as a poor kid, made it, lived the american dream. he is in the media, they paint him as such just a crazy right wing guy. i found him to be humanized yesterday. i got meet his wife. she doesn't do interviews. she gave us an exclusive interview. i can't wait for you guys to see it. >> brian: did you tape it. >> lawrence: we taped it. >> brian: play record. >> lawrence: show you. so audio. >> steve: that's innovative. brian is doing a courtroom using a local artist. >> ainsley: local news you would get back to the station i forgot to hit record. >> brian: everyone does that steve, live television but i'm going to use reenactors. so, again, just wanted to correct the record. >> ainsley: like have you done on stage before. carley was pregnant on stage in new jersey playing like george washington's wife or something. >> brian: be in nearps on a sunday of the. >> steve: chris, get out the big box with the powdered wigs. >> brian: it's all true. we bring history to life. >> ainsley: it's in brian's office, second shelf. >> brian: i dress like a colonist on the weekend. >> steve: switch to this a story you are very interested. in new york city prosecutors now say that illegal migrant who is charged with raping a 13-year-old girl at knife point -- actually it was a machete has condition confessed to now recording the attack. >> lawrence: unbelievable. we are be learning disturbing new details about the crime that happened in broad daylight. >> brian: doug luzader has the whole grizzly story. >> if you didn't think this case could get more disturbing, just wait. we have leander extraordinary new details that just came out in court about the horrific rape of a 13-year-old girl. christian inga-landi, a 25-year-old illegal immigrant from ecuador is accused of using something similar to a machete to threaten and restrain two 13-year-olds a boy and girl and then raping the girl. all of this happening in a park in broad daylight. the "new york post" reports that prosecutors say he has confessed and he told police that he actually recorded the attack before heading off to buy more drugs. now, here are the charges this guy now faces everything from predatory sexual assault and rape to kidnapping and endangering the welfare of a child. the district attorney crediting the kid, the victims for providing a solid description. >> i would also like it take a moment to talk a little bit about the bravery of this -- these two 13-year-old children. it is amazing from what they went through, their identification, their -- you know, their memory of the tattoo, the braces, all which was right on point. >> it was that description, along with d.n.a. evidence that helped police identify the assailant. but it was a determined group of neighbors who later recognized this guy in the street and they took him down. restraining him until police arrived. is he now being held without bail. back to you guys. >> steve: doug, i think i was reading this morning there was a reward for information leading to this person's arrest but nobody has claimed it yet. >> according to the "new york post." no one has claimed that reward. neighbors in action they really got this guy. steve a good one to get. doug luzader, thank you. >> brian: you heard the audio i want the 10,000. should get the 10,000. what about the woman who walked up and put the guy in a head lock. the 25-year-old said you are not going to be doing that again. must have known him in the neighborhood. >> ainsley: once we noticed him everyone was going crazy on him. and her brother was the one who called 911. apparently this guy charged with this crime told the kids, the 13-year-olds wait 20 minutes here in the woods. and then he ran off with their cell phones and threw them away. >> steve: yeah. he, as doug just said, he went and bought drugs. but the kids were able to describe. >> ainsley: braces? >> steve: a boar, a pig on his chest. >> ainsley: got d.n.a. off a water bottle they found there. >> steve: delayed that to that 2021 event where he surrendered that d.n.a. back then. if you are going to come in the country and you're going to be, you know, playing by our rules, why doesn't everybody just surrender a sample? brian, you called it a swab inside the cheek? you know surrender a little d.n.a. so if there is a problem we know who did it. >> lawrence: it should be in our codis database if anything ever happens. it's one of the things you should are to do if you want to cross the border. >> steve: it's small thing to do. >> lawrence: one of the things people aren't talking about right here, you have all these children coming across the border illegally. girls are being pumped up with birth control. if you are an activist and care about those kids? this is one of the predators that these kids have to watch out for as they are coming across the border. if you ever went to any of the migrant shelters, the rape, brutally beaten. it's so sad what they have to endure. and you got one that made it across and did is an american now. if you are an activist you should be outraged about this. >> ainsley: was he the one that came across as a 3-year-old or what is that rachel morin's? >> steve: i don't know about that. >> >> lawrence this one came over the rachel morin had a child and they found d.n.a. on the girl in california and traced that d.n.a. back to rachel. >> steve: d.n.a. is very helpful. all right. it is coming up on 6:17 here in the east. and i think it's time for some headlines. >> carley: certainly is, guys. a story out of arkansas. police there are on the hunt for a triple murder suspect from alabama who they say is armed and dangerous. stacey lee drake is wanted in connection with of three homicides in oklahoma. stemming from two carjackings. drake is also wanted on robbery, carjacking and murder charges for incidents in other jurisdictions. he was last seen in the town of moralton, arkansas. where police believe he still is after -- he was spotted buying camping gear last night. that's him there his last known address is in birmingham. today the supreme court is expected to hand down a few key division decisions and we're still awaiting a ruling on presidential immunity. >> former attorney general eric holder fears the decision could prevent former president trump from being prosecuted in the election interference case. >> wait a minute, a president can violate the american criminal law, if he or she is doing something in their official capacity? that is an absurd and dangerous conclusion. >> carley: in addition to the election probe, trump has made the immunity claim on charges related to federal classified documents case and the events on january 6th. orders and opinions are expected to be released at 10:00 a.m. eastern time today. now to some trouble in pair bias. shocking security individual -- video out of honolulu would be robbers using a truck and train to try to steal an atm from a bank. the three masked suspects ran off after failing to get the cash box from the machine. e for effort? maybe not. a civil rights group says it will be taking legal action over a new state law in louisiana which requires the 10 commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms. the group argues the law violates the separation of church and state. louisiana's governor who signed the bill into law yesterday says he welcomes any lawsuit that come his way and he now is, i'm sure, those lawsuits would be coming down but et cetera says he is going to fight them, guys. >> brian: he looks forward to it. >> steve: he does. it's going to be tied up in the courts for years. i predict. but, what is interesting about this particular case is texas, south carolina, and utah all recently tried to pass similar things but didn't have the same kind of particulars in it. and they did not pass the legislature. this passed the legislature. >> lawrence: another interesting thing in texas, it may not be in legislation, but some of the school districts, we have the 10 commandments. >> brian: where on display in the school? >> lawrence: in the school. it's part of the tradition. no one fought it because it's just part of a lot of the stuff that happens in the south bloin brian what commandmentment are they against? which one don't you like? >> ainsley: great point. >> brian: which one would make your life worse if we adheard to it. >> ainsley: i don't know how students in high school are really going to sit there and read them if they see them on the wall. it's a great reminder of our foundations, of american history. and just good christian values. >> brian: i remember watching that documentary with mel brooks. supposed to be 20. he dropped one. >> steve: the 10 commandments. >> brian: the 10 command thes, remember that? >> steve: the 20 commandments. ains there were supposed to be 20 of them what do you mean? >> brian: i will show the kirsten gillibrand either. these 10 commandments. remember that, chris? >> steve: it was the movie history of the world. >> brian: that documentary by mel brooks. i will bring it back. >> lawrence: watch every documentary. >> brian: a lot of people that updated the testament after testament after testament. >> steve: we have to go brian about to cite a famous campfire seen also by mel brooks. >> brian: i was not going to do it. blazing saddles. >> ainsley: have to watch that movie. >> brian: you are going to laugh out loud. sarah in the control room will pull it right from her taped library. >> ainsley: 20 minutes after the top of the hour. we have a fox weather alert. >> tropical storm alberto. janice dean is tracking the first storm of the season. ♪ (♪) (♪) try dietary supplements from voltaren, for healthy joints. with so many choices on booking.com there are so many tina feys i could be. so i hired body doubles. mountain climbing tina at a cabin. or tree climbing tina at a beach resort. nice! booking.com booking.yeah. ♪ innovation in health care means nothing if no one can afford it. ♪ at evernorth, we're helping to unlock barriers. ♪ using our 35 plus years of pharmacy benefits management experience to save businesses billions while boosting medication adherence. helping plan sponsors and their members be at their best. that's wonder made possible. evernorth health services. >> brian: back with a fox weather alert. tropical storm alberto, heavy rain, flash flooding and storm surge to the texas coast. some area -- some areas are getting up to 11 inches of rain and officials say tornadoes and water spouts are also possible and as it rains down in texas historic heat wave continues 99 million americans under a heat alert. look at the bright red. check in with janice dean objection says si heat warnings ohio, pennsylvania, up towards new england as welt going to have all-time highs completely shattered in parts of maine with temperatures in the 95 be 95, 9t humidity. up towards new england. there is the forecast heat index what it feels like with the humidity. that's the real potential danger here is the heat and humidity wantth 5, scranton pennsylvania, 93. going on day 4, day 3 of heat wave. bangor maine last day for you. go down towards 80 and 71 on saturday which is where you are usually this time of year. a lot of the folks don't have air conditioning in maine. that's the concern we just got one more day to go. we are tracking alberto. first named storm of the season. 50 mile-per-hour sustained wind. making landfall in mexico. we are feeling at least tropical storm force winds along the coast. especially for south texas and more rain in the forecast. you saw the flooding. i said this before. it doesn't take a named storm. doesn't take a land falling storm to cause flooding. that's what we saw yesterday along the coast of texas. we will continue to keep you up to date. steve doocy, over to you. >> steve: do you know what today is, janice? >> janice: first day of summer. >> steve: meaning today is the longest day sunlightwise of the year. >> janice: we have that to celebrate. >> steve: we do indeed. thank you, j.d. >> janice: of course. >> steve: let's talk about this. president biden heading to camp david in maryland to prep for the cnn presidential debates. this as democrats grow increasingly dubious of the president's strategy which largely involves focusing on trump rather than kitchen table issues one party strategist. realize how dire this situation is right now. is that is scary, joining us fox news contributor and former chief president spooch writer bill mcgurn. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> steve: do you buy into that axios story some top democrats are thinking they don't get it. >> i get it. i think it would be better if joe biden were concentrating on inflation, the border. things people care about. our standing in the world. the problem is he has a terrible record. and that's compounded by the way he tends to try to sell it. on the economy, for a long time, they denied inflation. then they talked about their achievements, you know, and they did it in a way that said you're not smarted enough to preach the just how smart and successful joe biden is. and so i think there is resistance to that i don't think he has a good alternative. you know when eggs are up 50% over what they were when he came into office, gas prices are up, i don't see a lot out there for him to talk about. >> when we look at the brand new fox poll that came out. these are things extremely important to vote on. 68% of those responding said future of democracy followed by the economy. i'm actually surprised the economy is not on top. stability and normalcy is about 60%. healthcare and immigration about 50. abortion, guns, and standing up to elite interest followed by climate change. and then the hamas war is way down at the bottom of these top 10 issues right there. you know, one of the things though, i think about joe biden. we have been touching on it this past week or so. during this head-to-head that happens a week from today, bill given the fact that expectations is so low. all joe biden has to do is show up if he is kind of loud like he was at the state of the union. see, he didn't fall asleep. he's great. >> yeah. he did his old yeller imitation at the state of the union. i think that's one of the problems he thinks that yelling makes him look forceful and strong. i think it makes him look like an angry old man. >> steve: yeah, get off my lawn. >> that's the context for the speech. you said you are right. expectations are kind of low. i have been expecting maybe a big embarrassment or something in debate press conference. so far he hasn't done that. kind of muddled through. i wouldn't be surprised if he muddles through again. but, i think his problem is looking fecal and not decisive. plus, his record. and that is not a good combination. >> steve: yeah, if he just stands there for a moment, it's going to support that people that's going around that he is freezing. i know the white house goes he is just thinking, is he taking it all. in if he just stalls out, that's not going to be good for him. one other trump-biden poll i want to show you is head-to-head, registered voters right now, joe biden is just two points above. he is right at 50%. and donald trump is at 48%. this is the first time this year we have seen biden in the lead. what's up with that, bill? >> well, i think it's going to go back and forth within very tight margins. it's only june. i mean, look at what has been thrown out this year all the typical assumptions. people don't pay attention until after labor day. after the convention we're having a debate next week. i think it's almost sped up now. and you know that with all these polls it really comes down to the battleground states. and a few votes can swing the election. so, i think they are all looking at the votes and watching which way to go. i think donald trump is changing his strategy a little. he seems to be more open to other candidates. is he worked party unity, building back some bridges that he burned. and so forth. i think he is doing the right thing there. >> steve: all right. and they are going to square off just a week from today. bill, thank you very much for joining us today. >> okay. thank you, steve. >> steve: all right. we go from bill to will. will cain is live at alabama's rickwood field. what are you doing there today? >> will: that's right, welcome to rick woodfield in birmingham, alabama where tonight on fox the st. louis cardinals will take on the san francisco glints attribute to the negro league. take a look at rook wood field. this is the oldest professional ballpark in america. 1910. it was home to the birmingham barrons and in the negro league the birmingham black barrons. one of the guys who played for a couple seasons recently departed and re general dairy willie mace. he will be part told here tonit while major league baseball embraced that sort of baseball inside of a dream what this represents is baseball inside of a time capsuled size and scope of this feels like you are going back to the 1940s. 10,000 fan also get to enjoy this in person. but, which makes it an intimate affair. but, you, and everyone watching right now at home, will get to watch it on fox tonight. it's a major league baseball game. it's the giants and cardinals. it's on fox and at rick wood field it. will be an amazing experience tonight, steve. >> steve: that's fantastic. do the concession stands. will they have 1940s prizes i'm hoping?

>> so my thoughts are i think that's great. i think it should be a decision that parents make rather than something that's mandated. so i love the idea of a pledge where people come together, because there is peer pressure for children do be able to interact with friends or they get left out. for instance, they don't know about practice for a sports team because it's facebook group somewhere. i find that myself and not necessarily not having social media apps on my phone. so, for me i think eighth grade is a good age. your brain has developed far more so than early elementary school. but it's not to the point where -- wait longer if i could with my own children but that gets so much harder over time. >> ainsley: several concerns, social media when you are in high school and left out and see pictures of all your friends together and you weren't included, that's hard in high school. at our age we are more confident. it's okay. we can get over it. >> exactly. >> ainsley: at that age it's really hard or if someone is making fun of you, of course, that feels horrible at any age. but, also, we were talking during the commercial break when i'm room to room in my, this is with me all the time because i'm getting work text messages constantly or messages about my daughter's school. so i need to be on it. but i don't want my daughter to see that. >> the devices are designed to keep you on them. and then we interact on them all the time. it's different compartmentalize. a lot of what i think is i struggle as an adult as you say to separate work from home. particularly running a company having a social life. all those things, you know, you want to be able to have time that's truly restorative. to be able to perform better. you can't do that when you are getting a million golf balls thrown at you each day and constantly being reactive. is from my standpoint if i'm an adult and struggle with that, i can't imagine a young child whose brain is still developing it's good for them in any way, shape or form. >> ainsley: let them be children, right? >> let them be children and let them learn how to compartmentalize themselves and having a phone at a young age, i think it would make that a real obstacle. >> ainsley: okay, lee a thank you so much. enjoy your trip to new york. i know you brought the kids with you. have fun. the stage is set major league history tonight first ever mlb game at rickwood field. wirick live from the ballpark. >> will: ainsley i was talking to watkins. friends of rick wood which operates this rickwood field. he was telling me he saw on tv field of dreams and i need to call baseball and tell them about a real field of dreams. >> we will tell you about that story when we come back on "fox & friends." ♪ end game ♪ inspire?
