pete: it is the 9 a.m. hour of "fox & friends" weekend. we start with a fox news alert. joe biden saying this about iran's imminent attack on

israel: >> my expectation, sooner than later. >> what is your message to iran in this moment? >> don't. pete: brilliant. rachel: plus, debt relief déjà vu, biden rolling out yet another round of student loan debt or forgiveness, but what's his real motivation e as we get closer to the november election? will: and it's masters weekend in augusta. tiger woods made the cut today. making history, i guess, by making the cut yet again? pete: i guess it's, like, over 20 years he's done it. will: the final hour of "fox & friends" weekend anticipators right now. ♪ like a true nature's child, we were born, born to be wild. ♪ we can climb so high, you never want to die ♪ pete: hook at that. that's st. pete beach. i've never been known at st. the

pete -- [laughter] but i'll take it. i have two the guests here on if set who actually happen to be from st. pete. will: oh, yeah? pete: did it for them, just for them. beautiful shot. hope you're at your house inside watching us or maybe you're on the phone, maybe if will gets his way, you're a 14-year-old with your own smartphone, and you're on the beach watching "fox & friends." rachel: exactly. we've been having a debate this whole sew about social media, its impact on kids' mental health. and we sort of came to the conclusion that a taking away phones might actually open kids up to other things. i thought i'd hoe you guys a couple -- pete: i love she says we came to a conclusion. i believe you're been at that conclusion -- rachel: you too. pete: i agree. rachel: this is what margarita and her friend savannah if do, here they are, look, they turned one of my rooms into their

little studio -- pete: is that a miniature? rachel: yeah. look, isn't that adorable? the fashion if designers. i'm so impressed, i'm sorry, i'm showing off their e stuff, but i can't -- they're 8 and 99 years old. that's -- 8 and 9 years old. that's the kind of tough that kids can do when they're off their phones, when today don't are is have a phone. if. pete: if i do think that's a revival of actual skills. that that's what i want for my boys, hard working and figuring out how to do things. i don't think you gain any skills on a phone, right? will: not. rachel: that's true. pete: will, why are you looking at me -- can. will: i'm not. pete: he's kind of the defender if of the smartphone this morning, but he's really not. and his point is, and it's the right point for parents out there, the most important thing you have to give your kids is good judgment. fear of god is the beginning of all wisdom, but giving that good judgment is more important than depriving them of a device, for sure. but maybe doing both is kind of

the argument. good judgment and no smartphone. will: yeah. i'm onboard. can't wait for my boys to be fashion deciphers. [laughter] pete: -- designers. maybe they will be. it's a new world, will. they can be whatever they want. rachel: the point is i think kids' brains, we want to impart wisdom and judgment, but their brains just aren't developed enough to do that. will: that's absolutely true. we don't have as much disagreement as you might think. rachel: we don't, actually. will: we begin with a fox news alert. iranian commandos seizing a portuguese-flagged ship earlier this morning. pete: this coming as u.s. officials are warning of an imminent iranian attack on israel. rachel: madeleine rivera is live from washington with the latest. of madeleine, good morning. >> reporter: as the world braces for a potential show of force by iran against israel, this morning the associated press is reporting members of iran's revolutionary guard used a helicopter to board and seize an israeli-affiliated container

ship near the strait9 of or hormuz. it's the latest in a series of attacks between the two countries. iran has prompted -- promised to retaliate after an airstrike hit its embassy compound in damascus on april 1st killing two members of the revolutionary guard corpses. officials who have seen the latest intelligence say there are movements that that appear iran is getting ready to target israeli territory with one-way attack drones and possibly ballistic missiles. the pentagon is reportedly working to boost air defenses for u.s. troops stationed in iraq and syria which have been attacked by iran proxy forces more than 100 times since october. and the u.s. embassy in jerusalem is telling government employees and their family members to restrict travel outside teleavive and jerusalem. -- tel aviv and jerusalem. here's piped on the situation. >> [inaudible] if -- pride if on -- president biden on the situation. >> my expectation is sooner than later. >> reporter: former president

trump is weighing in on this situation too. enter with all that we've done, with all of the fighting, all of the death, look at what happened, how incompetent the well thing is. but i think it's a very, very dangerous period. this is a very dangerous period of time in our nation. >> reporter: the israeli defense forces said it's prepared offense ily and defensively for any threat. they say iran's actions are jeopardizing the stability of the region. will, rachel and pete. rachel: thank you, madeleine. >> reporter: you got it, of course. will: i do think it's odd, it's hard to the make sense that an attack is imminent and we're talking about it publicly -- rachel: right. will: nothing seems to -- not that i'm a military or intelligence expert, it just seems odd. pete: it is odd. and i do think it's a reflection of the fact that iran probably feels like it needs to save face, a after a have public display of an answer to israel because this thus far has been mostly a proxy war. israel's had the ability to reach into syria and hit other

iranian assets, but iran's been fighting israel and america for decades now. for americans on the battlefields in iraq and afghanistan, and now israel as they surround them with proxy es, so we know who they believe their enemy is. they just also know what their limitations are. until this administration which has funded them, played footsie with them, which has negotiated with them and empowered them and their proxies to the point where they felt it was open season and time to attack israel and continue their nuclear efforts. so deterrent -- deterrence from this administration if at this point is a jock. rachel: it's just so -- is a joke. rachel: donald trump said we're in a dangerous world. i think about we're fighting this approximate she war with iran through israel -- proxy war, with russia a through ukraine. the world is just so much more dangerous. and you wonder, there used to be a time when diplomacy was used. you look just a few years ago to the trump administration.

the abraham accords, how that helped to keep peace in the middle east. you know, having some boundaries about who can enter into nato or not instead of entice thing ukraine to come in and then, you know, getting this kind of reaction from ukraine. if where are the diplomats? where are the adults in the room that weapon told that we were going to get? -- that we were told we were going to get. i think we're in such a more dangerous situation. on the verge of every other week world world war iii. pete: we had serious diplomats under the trump administration, but they were the backed up by the threat of real military action. hey, we're going to drop a moa a b on you or kill qassem soleimani, but, hey, kim jong un, let's be buddies, but if we're not, you're in trouble. there was a real belief, an unpredictability of trump, but it all looked strong. so our enemies said, hmm, not now. not right now.

will: and now what we're left with is don't, which is a familiar if theme that you've heard several times from the biden administration. >> to iran in this moment -- >> don't. i have one word, don't. enter to any actor, state or nonstate trying to take advantage of this this crisis to e attack israel, don't. >> we have just one word, don't. will: don't. interesting. that's exactly what the supreme court of the united states told the biden administration when it comes to forgiving student loan debt, don't. but that hand stopped the biden administration. in fact, their latest gambit is a $7.4 billion student loan forgivend program. "the new york post" has said the following, they said that joe biden, defern of democracy, loves shredding norms when these norms stand between him and his brazen efforts to buy votes. just look at a his latest student debt forgiveness ploy. keep in mind it's not forgivenesses, he's just making other people who never took out loans pay for them. rachel: rae yeah, absolutely.

aoc, by the way, was on stephen colbert's show, and this is why she thinks we need loan forgiveness. we need to take money from the working class and give it to college grads. listen. >> you know, this is huge. this is -- can people getting student loan forgiveness, their student the loans canceled, it means that, you know, it's hope to buy a house or have a kid or travel abroad or maybe even go back to school and, you know, pursue a career that maybe they otherwise wouldn't have. i mean, i -- can one of the reasons that's not me now is because i didn't feel like i'd be able to afford medical school. rachel: oh, my goodness. so they can go travel abroad. and i picked the wrong major, i'll just go back after a you pay my loans, and i'll go back and pick another major and major in something else. i mean, she really gives away the game here. this is really about a transfer of money from the working class, the professional class and also

we're $34 trillion in debt, will. will: in order to buy votes. pete: yes. that's why it's not a student loan forgiveness plan, it's a vote purchasing plan. and they think by forgiving loans they're buying voters, but they're actually bleeding young voters too. it's amazing, the am of support that trump has -- the amount of support that that trump has with the people under 30. thanks for forgiving my loans, great can, i'm going to vote for trump. you know what i mean? it's not a direct correlation. hey, you're dumb enough to let me get rid of the loans i had, but i'm still going to vote based on my pocketbook or the rule of law or secure border. ray it's a lot of money, but it hits only a very small percentage of young people, and you're right, their having a lot of problems with young people because they can't launch and the economy is so bad, but also there's international issues that some young people are upset about. there's all kinds of stuff happening, and they think they can just buy them off. i don't know if they're thinking about the kinds of, the number

of people they're ticking the off by doing this. maybe it's not such a great gamble. will: steve moore doesn't -- he's not sure, to your point, it will work with the young. >> i think this was a terrible week for the biden campaign and the biden presidency because many of your friends on wall street had felt like inflation was going away. by the way, i've been saying for week after week after week that inflation is not going away, that it's actually rising again, and that's exactly what these new statistics show. two-thirds of americans keep saying they don't feel better off under biden, they feel worse off. and on the student loan thing, i mean, this is just infuriating. you're talking about people with graduate degrees, you know, that are getting debt relief from people who are a trucker or a plumber or a nurse? i mean, how in the world is that fair to anyone? $150 billion down the toilet. you'd think we were running a budget surplus, not a $1.5 trillion deficit. pete: he says it very well. now, we've got one more story

this morning too, the left tells you just like with stupid loan forgiveness, we're just $1 billion or $1 trillion away there if utopia. we just pour more money into this, everything's going to be fixed, everything's going to be softed. yet they never really come back around the other side and say, well, here's the return on your investment of those tax dollars. a great example recently was these electric chargeing stations across the country. rachel: right. pete: they spent hundreds of millions, billions of dollars and they built seven of them in two years across the country? here's another example for you. in california, california has spent $28 billion to combat the homeless crisis. that's a lot of money since 2018. for a state that doesn't have a budget surplus. well, we had steve garvey, u.s. senate candidate from california, former major leaguer, on the program earlier talking about what kind of return are they gotten for that. here's what he said. >> i think the thing is it's a lack of leadership. there are encampments there, and there are homeless walking on

the beach, and stores are shut because also what comes with homelessness is crime. we're up to about 186,000 homeless now. 16% more in the last year, and that's with $30 billion being spent in california. there's a lack of oversight. the california interagency council on homelessness stopped counting or trying to figure out where the money was going in '21. they've reignited that. but let's face it, this is one of the most compassionate issues in our lives. these people are disenfranchised, they're suffering physically,, mentally and spiritually. the streets are full. there's a 50 square block area in los angeles of homeless, of encampments, people walking the streets. with. will: california has a massive problem with homelessness. he said in that interor view that a third of the nation's homeless are in california. and to your point, pete, you know, there's very little attention ever given to whether or not something works. it's like you govern by empathy, and empathy only ever translates into money.

and a little bit it's like participating we talk about with the phones or the ipad or giving kids whatever it is they want in life. that's the act of good parenting, that's the act of good governor nabs, that you felt -- governance, that you felt something, that you threw money at the problem. but you never step back and go, yeah, but did it really work? who cares what your intentions were, that's granting good intentions -- rachel: that's what i was going to say. will: but even if you had good intentions, you step back and go, or well, so what? the road to hell is paved with good intentions. it didn't work to solve homelessness. pete: and you heard him say in 2021 they just stopped counting. guess who's getting the money? organizations run by people with political connections, and they're not required to show return on investment, and then they get addicted to that money, and then cottage industries are created. and then it doesn't make sense to solve the crisis because the money gets cut off. so no one's pursuing things that work, and it just keeps going -- rachel: yeah. it's about a employing a lot of people who say they're trying to work on homelessness.

but i hate to be so sin cynical, but it goes back to the first story hen we were talking about -- when we were talking about all these wars that we're funding. think about the money the that has been given to ukraine, and nobody -- i mean, the congresswomen including the one from illinois -- pete: sports -- rachel: -- who was who were in ukraine, he said this is a corrupt place. we need a lot more guardrails here. we need transparency. and they told her, the republicans who are the war machine part of the party, said shut up and sit down. if no one wants to figure out where that money went and we're hearing about villas, you know, being bought by ukraine with, you know, leaders all over europe. nobody's keeping track of the money. it's our money just like in california that's their money that's being spent and nobody's keeping track of it. i think it's just -- pete: just keep printing it, rachel. just keep printing it. rachel: exactly. all right.

welsh on that depressing note finish. [laughter] some headlines. maybe they're a little less depressing. i doubt it. turning now to your headlines starting with a fox news alert, six people and a suspect are dead after a stabbing attack inside of a mall in sydney. the victims include five women and a man. eight a others, including a baby, are being treated at a hospital. police say an officer shot the suspect. they believe he is a 40-year-old man who acted alone. they don't believe that this was an act of terrorism. officials are still trying to determine the motive. pittsburgh officials say 26 barges broke loose and floated down the ohio river overnight. most of the barges were filled with cargo like coal. so far no injuries have been reported, but a local marina sustainedded some damage. 11 of the barges have been located and are pinned against the river bank. if three beiges in pittsburgh -- bridges in pittsburgh were forced to close down due to this incident. college students across 88 colleges, this is so

interesting, are taking surveys to join a marriage if pact. have you guys heard of this marriage if pact? if. pete: new york or i have not. rachel: interesting. it allows them to have an insurance policy in case they never find true love -- the. pete: what does that mean? rachel: well, okay, watch. the pact's cofounder defines it as an informal agreement between two people that if both remain unmarried by the time they under 30 or 40, they end up -- [laughter] pete: what is this sham? rachel: -- they agree to marry each other. i guess people are, it's very popular on college campuses. i had no idea. the idea is, you know, if i don't find true love, i've already sort of taken this compatibility test, and i'm going to agree to a marry this person that i match up with. i mean, what do you guys make of that? will: nothing. sham. pete: i would -- sham comes to mind. will: sham. rachel: it's like the data collection thing. will: no, i didn't say conspiracy, i said sham. i want to know what percentage of these pacts result in

marriage. rachel: so there was -- pete: probably none. will: well they're not 30 or 40. pete: they've entered the pact. will: it hasn't come to fruition yet. by the time they get to 30 or 40, 1% go through with it? pete: not even. do you think they go back and look at their pact from when they had a few too many beers and they were 20 -- will: you could see each other age. pete: we could you can. that's not part of the pact. will: you want to bet? [laughter] you don't look like you did when you were 22. ril ray well, that's true. but also your interests change from when you're 22 to 30 or 40. pete: that's why it's the dumbest thing ever. i remember people in college kind of saying, well, if we don't meet someone -- rachel: yeah, that's happened before. pete: we're friends -- will: backup plans. pete: exactly right. rachel: i think it speaks to a longing for relationships and connections and maybe a little bit of scam. [laughter] i do think that there's something deeper in there.

[inaudible conversations] >> -- on israel is from iran, mr. president? >> [inaudible] if my expectation is sooner than later. >> reporter: what is your message to iran in this moment? >> don't. pete: fox news alert, joe biden yesterday with that one-word warning to iran as the u.s. expects the iranian regime to strike pulse billion targets inside israel -- multiple targets inside israel in the coming days. the white house remains on high alert saying it is in constant communication with israeli leaders. let's bring in retired u.s. air force general philip breedlove. general, thanks for being here. how are those two things congruent? we know, we're told an attack is imminent, the size and scope of which we don't know, but yet the president is saying don't? what do we make of all of that? >> well, pete, thanks for having me back on. i think we've said don't more than once recently -- pete: yep. >> -- and i'm not sure that's a message that really has standing

in the world to these terrorists and to iran, the backers of the terrorists. pete: okay. so if it doesn't have standing, does that mean they's escalate at their -- they estate at their, you know, based on their calculation of what's beneficial for them? are hay even factoring in an merge response, or do they think they -- american response or do they think we won't do anything? >> i think they fire fear, first and fore post, an israeli response. -- foremost. hamas starts and ends in iran. hamas has already struck the, and we're in a a war because of their first strike into israel, and israel has forcibly replied. i'm not, i'm fairly certain that iran does not fear america retaliating in the middle east. i've said is more than once that our policies towards iran,

towards china, taiwan, towards north korea, they're all being written if ukraine. and we are not responding in ukraine either. pete: general, when you look at the totality of the threats we face across the globe and at home, what worries you the most? what has you most concerned? when you're putting america first, looking at america and saying, okay, america's interests are served or not served by the following things happening, what concerns you? >> so i put us and our forces first all the time. my children wear the cloth of this nation. and i think that what worries me the most is that i see a lack of western leadership and specifically, you know, i see a retreat of u.s. leadership in these larger issues around the world. we started off in recent campaigns by saying all the things that we won't do and all the things that we are afraid of. and then we build our reactions

and actions based on those statements and those fierce. and i think the world is -- those fears. and i think the world is watching the leadership dynamic at the top of the western thinking changing. pete: yeah. we're not setting the agenda, you're right. we're not leading boldly, speaking clearly and acting clearly about what benefits us. and as a result, we're sort of whiplash ared by all these other progresser thes and the foolishnesses of the process. general philip breedlove, thank you for your service and the service of your family. >> thank you. pete: you got it. full steam ahead with the mayorkas impeachment push. more than 40 gop senators calling for a trial which is what's supposed to happen. we're going to talk to one of them. but first, tiger woods making history again, setting a record for the 24th masters cut in a row are. jim gray, he's at augusta. he is on deck. ♪ -- rising up to the challenge of our rival.

will: the ufl continues its inaugural season as the birmingham stallions take on the 1-1 memphis show boats tonight on fox. max gorden joins us live from birmingham, alabama. what's it like? looks nice, max. >> reporter: hey, good morning from beautiful birmingham. we've got some gorgeous weather on tap. your temperatures in the 70s, lots of sunshine for killoff at 6 p.m. local are time -- kickoff, 7 p.m. eastern as the stallions take on the memphis showboats. if you haven't watched the ufl before, it is a really cool experience. for fans here e in the stadium, really intimate, really close to the players. and if you're watching on tv, that is neat as well. a lot of technology is being used to broadcast these games on fox sports.

we talked to a producer with fobs sports about all the a tech they're using. take a listen. >> oh, we've got a lot of toys that we like to play with. one of the best ones is we have the helmet cams. they work, we took players, one of the offense and and up one from the if defense, and they give us a unique look at the huddle. other ones we have is the hine of game pylons that follow the play on the first and 10 down lean -- line, and they give you unique if looks of if he makes it, if he doesn't. we have the drone in some of the weeks. >> reporter: they're mic being up players and referees or or coaches. you really feel like you're in the action. i can't wait to get in there later this evening to check out the game and, honestly, i don't really want to leave birmingham. i've got to go back to l.a. tomorrow. i've been eating good here, all sorts of fried chicken, barbecue, and so a i've been loving it here in birmingham. will: underrated city. thank you, max.

tiger woods will be back on the course today but not before making history again at the masters. >> there you go. steadies himself -- [applause] gets up and down for another scrambling par. [cheers and applause] will: woods setting an all-time master record. he made his 24th cut in a row yesterday at augusta national. and that's where we find fox news contributor jim gray who joins us live from the masters. oh, jim, you got your shades on. it's bright and sunny down in georgia. i don't know how bright it looks for tiger. here's the leaderboard real quick, it's max homa, bryson dechambeau and scottie scheffler at the top. what do you think about tiger? >> well, you just have to be amazed and impressed. if you look at what has happened this year, he had to withdraw from general access out at riviera because he had the flu, so he really aren't hasn't played any competitive golf in a

tournament. he comes out here in competitive golf under conditions that were extreme for golfers yesterday with all of the wind. he had to come back early in the morning, finished his round 1 virginia because he had to get up early -- 1-over-par. by the afternoon he plaid as well as anybody played this course yesterday. he shot even par, so he keeps himself in position seven shots back. it's going to be an uphill climb, but he's in position, and he knows what to do here. so you can never discount tiger woods. the physical ailments are going to be difficult, but the wind has cleared up, so the conditions are going to be pretty benign today. it's going to go up to about 75, 76 degrees later here in the afternoon. will: by the way,, you kick over to fox nation right now and watch who is tiger woods. great series they run on fox nation to get to know various people who are making their way trout the news. one of those people is shohei ohtani. the los angeles dodgers' star, jim, his interpreter looks like

he's, i don't know, i don't want to say it the wrong way, is he taking the fall? the feds are focused on him. they are clearing, the u.s. attorney is clearing shohei ohtani. watch this. >> mr. ohtani is considered a victim in this case. there is no evidence to indicate that mr. ohtani authorized the over $16 million of transfers from his account to the bookmakers. will: so it's all focused on the interpreter, jim. >> really quick investigation when you consider when the public became aware of this and when this investigation has begun to now what seems to be at least a conclusion in terms of the interpreter. you know, there's just going to be all of these questions that are going to go on, i'm quite sure, for some time. but even commissioner man fred said it's going to be a quick investigation. either they have a lot more information than the public was aware of and these things

cleared up for them in terms of what they were able to see and charge and clear in the senses, than all the rest of us have been knowledgeable. will, it just seems kind of confounding that all of this can be done in two or three weeks after the number of changes of stories. and ohtani has still not answered a question. the fact that he is a victim, it's tragic to lose a friend like that and to be in this position. it's got to be just an awful, awful feeling of betrail. yet on the other hand, he hasn't answered one question from the press yet. so i'm sure there's still a lot of questions that a lot of people have. and that's not to implicate him as a victim, but he should just come forward and talk to the press if there's nothing to hide. will: yeah. >> just let it go and, you know, this is what happened. it's all very, very, it's just a strange, strange story. will: exactly. it was just all so confounding -- >> to not know that millions of dollars from miss -- are missing from your bank account? will we will and to your point, the story changed. there was some suggestion, we

didn't know how could the translator get inside, make wire transfers from ohtani's bank account, there is testimony now from inside the bank that he impersonated ohtani, but it's still odd there's not more checks and balances on moving hundreds of millions of dollars. >> well, i don't know that number and i don't know how many millions, but it's a lot of millions. and let's say it's 16-40 million. it came out first it was the 4.5, now it's up to 16 is. how do you just not notice that? i don't care if you're making however many hundreds of millions of dollars, that's a huge amount of pun for anybody, particularly somebody young. young, sharp, aggressive, knowledgeable. one of the greatest players, you know, baseball has seen. you just can't be that lackadaisical the whole rest of your life. will: is and you're right, i don't know that that much money changed hands, those are the reports on how much money was bet, not how much was gained or loss once you net it out which would have required movement from a bank.

still, it's a fascinating story. jim gray, is have fun -- >> by the way, i don't know a lot about the betting world at all. in fact, i don't gamble and so forth, but how does the bookie allow that type of credit for an interpreter who's making $2-400,000 a year? it just, it's astonishing. will: another one of the questions that makes this story odd, we'll say. all right. we'll see who makes a big charge today on saturday at the masters, if it continues to be desham bow, homa and, of course, scottie scheffler. have fun out there. >> thanks, will. talk to you tomorrow. will: full steam ahead with the mayorkas impeachment push. senator marsha blackburn joins us.

♪ rachel: well, more than 40 senate republicans are calling for a full impeachment trial for dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas over his handling of the crisis at our southern border. those lawmakers saying the secretary's actions have become, quote, a nightmare for the american people. one of those republicans demanding accountability is tennessee senator marsha blackburn. she's a friend of our show, and and she joins us now. senator, that's a lot of people. i can't think of a better person to impeach, but is that enough to impeach alejandro mayorkas?

>> rachel, what we know is we're going to have to make that case tuesday when we go to the floor and we receive those articles of impeachment from the house. it is important that we do our constitutional duty, and we all remember chuck schumer talking about that constitutional duty when it was president trump that they were wanting to impeachment and have that trial. and, indeed, article i, section two of the constitution lays out the house responsibility and section three, the senate responsibility. so what we will do is offer different organizing resolutions. senator lee is and senator kennedy each have one. and then senator cruz has a resolution for a trial committee. the point is this border is wide open. mayorkas has been doing biden's bidding, and we need to get that

border closed. there are hundreds of thousands of americans that have been adversely impacted because of fentanyl, because of lives lost, human trafficking, sex trafficking, crime in communities. and it is important that we hold the secretary of homeland security to account -- rachel: sure. >> -- for not securing the homeland. rachel: yeah. well, they're already getting around the southern border problem. i was just reading today that they've flown almost, over 400,000 people from, you know, a country in south america all the way to our country, so they're not even making, some of them aren't even making that trek. so we can close the border, but the biden administration is flying them in on our tax dollars. >> that's exactly right. they have been granting parole status to more people than ever. rachel: that's right. >> you know, parole was used pairingly by both president

trump -- sparingly, by both president trump and president obama. each did about 5600 parolees per year. in 2022 biden did 8000,000. -- 800,000. in '23 he did 1.2 million, and and we don't know how many this year. but, rachel, that gives them benefits, it gives them work permits, and then they are coming straight into the country. and we know some of the crimes that they are carrying out. that's why we need to impeach mayorkas, and we need to secure that border. rachel: he's lied directly to congress, and, by the way, once they come over, we don't even know if the status they get allows them to register to vote. i know donald trump and speaker johnson have been is expressing a lot of concern about voter, vote integrity and election integrity because so many people are coming over and our rules for voting have changed so rapidly because of covid that there may be some loopholes in

there. so i hope you stay on it. keep us posted as to what's happening again. can't think of a better person to impeach than alejandro mayorkas who's doing so much damage to our national security. you got it. thank you, senator. let's turn to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth. ricky e? rick: good morning, rachel. we've got so many people out here including, tell me your name? >> kelly. rick: happy birthday. i asked permission, you all right that i say this? >> thats ooh perfectly fine. -- that's perfectly fine. rick: enjoy your time here, happy birthday. so many people are wanting to get the warmth here. t not quite happening just yet for a lot of people. this is where we've seen 90-degree temperatures so far this year. we're going to see that climb a little farther to the north over the next couple of days. portions of kansas, dodge city getting into the 90-degree range. warm air stretching across parts of the northern plains, and the
