liar, the trump did nothing. in the conversations that he had the district attorney's office on the zoom tryin prior to grany testimony, these are material pieces of information. you are not allowed of your a prosecutor to for somebody in the static about who you know to be a liar, the issues that you want race, where is likely to be a liar, about the issues you will raise, or if you do not know that they're going to be a liar about the issues that you are going to raise, call suborning serve perjury a felony, and now i am accusing the district attorney in his office, suborning perjury and committing multiple felonies, maybe more than 34. that needs to be investigated, right

♪ pete: good morning. don't get dressed. the opposite of brian kilmeade, stay in bed with us at 6 a.m. eastern time. "fox & friends" weekend, will cain, rachel campos duffy, yours truly -- will: i would love a poll, do you think most are watching from their bed or they've gone to the kitchen, they're lounging around the living room or they're just bleary-eyed or party animals till up -- rachel: i bet a lot of people are feel in their pjs. pete: we've not a lot of people who are go-getters in the morning. you meet 'em, you talk to them, i'm up with you with my first cup of coffee. they might be in their pjs, but you know the sound of the coffee maker going, i think there's a lot of that. i'd like to think so is. there's a lot of dvr too.

it's actually 9 a.m. where are they are, and they think it's 6 a.m -- rachel: you mentioned brian kilmeade, and when we went to the concert with him, i kept my phone ready because i was, like, i am going to capture the first ever video of brian kilmeade even a little bit dancing, and it didn't happen. pete: he didn't move once? rachel: not once. if. pete: the best country star in america rocking out, and is you couldn't get a move? rachel: ray at the end i was, like, just for the video. he was, like, no. [laughter] no one's captured him dancing. pete: if i knew he didn't like to eat on the air. i didn't know he didn't like to dance -- rachel: judge jeanine was talking about the how she makes really good lebanese food, and i got an invitation, and brian was are there9. i said if you invite brian, you have to liquify it all. he only drinks out of a straw. [laughter] anyway, enough about brian.

pete: and jesse watters doesn't drink can out of straws -- will: so don't get dressed, where this all started. [laughter] donald trump was up last night. he was in dallas, texas -- rachel: your hometown. will: an event for the national rifle association. he talked the about a joe biden, what it will take to get him on the debate stage with joe biden. >> gun owners don't vote is, what is that all about? i heard that a few weeks ago, that if gun owners voted, we would swamp them at levels that nobody if's ever seen before, so i think you're a rebellious bunch. let's be rebellious and vote this time, okay? let there be no doubt, the survival of our second amendment is very much on the ballot. we need it for safety because, you know,, the bad guys are not giving up their e guns, you know that. the bad ones are not giving up hair guns. they will be so happy if the

biden regime gets four more year withs. my administration also petitioned the supreme court to overturn new york city's unconstitutional ban on transporting handguns outside the home. they say you can't do it, and we overturned it, and in a landmark case two years ago, the court affirmed that the right to self-defense does not end when you step outside the front door of your house. pete: so, no doubt, donald trump's been a friend of the second amendment. he was formally endorsed by the nra ila which is the sort of pac arm of the nra. it was a long speech, it was the kind of speech you enjoy watching from donald trump because he clearly has script on the teleprompter but then goes for two or three minutes off and then back to fit. at one point he acknowledged that and said isn't it nice to have a president who doesn't need a freaking teleprompter in. [laughter] he was riffing a lot but then going back to the second amendment, obviously, the nra's

sweet spot. rachel: a lot of conservatives are just living their lives, and they have to register to to vote if they want to protect these right, and one of those people is scott pressler who's been fantastic on the gop side. he goes into these gun shows and registers people and reminds them it's not just going to happen. the left is so good at organizing, they're so good at getting, you know, clerking ballots and all this stuff -- collecting -- republicans have recognized this is something they're weak in. pete: recognizing is one thing, building the infrastructure -- ray re we're going to see if that happens. by the way, he also mentioned again that he wants a drug test for joe biden in the debate thing, that during the state of the union joe biden was high as a kite. so that's another issue he's concerned about. will: almost to illustrate the point about the importance of the second amendment comes this story out of chicago where a chicago mother if dialed 911.

of she got a dispatcher, it was a home invasion is. rachel: right. pete: someone's in her house. will: and this is the response that she got, here's a quote to nbc chicago, a gentleman if got on and said sorry to say we have no units to send to you. there was this awkward pause. he also recommended i call my alderman, and i said, why? to encourage him the hire more police. the dispatcher asked if i would consider defending myself if i had a weapon. sorry, no police available. call your politician. rachel: that sounds like a very frustrate police department if there. pete: that's a worst with nightmare. rachel: this is not fair for the woman, but also this is a sign of morale completely collapse aring in law enforcement. pete: well, of course. we're going to talk about it, the new york city police force is at the lowest levels it's ever been. not ever, obviously, back in the 1800s that was a little lore, or but inned modern times. -- in

modern times. rachel: sure is. pete: i believe in a lot of places in chicago, the second amendment right doesn't exist. you know what i mean? only the criminals can run around with gun. we got a statement from one of the aldermen if who said this, it's awful that our neighbor experienced this. everyone deserves to feel safe in their home. my staff alerted me to the issue as soon as they heard, and i'm in contact with the 12th district police leadership. i will continue to support any resources our districts request, and i will continue to work with the city on a proposed satellite location within westtown for the 12th district police. so maybe there was a geographic component to it, the caller was a little far away, but that should never matter. you might have of to say it'll be 10 minutes, not there's no one to send to you. rachel: right. but people in these blue cities vote for these blue policies, and then we get these stories, and you just wonder what is the threshold where they will final finally say, enough, we're going

to change -- will: the inability to defend yourself, no police to defend you. policies that make you a victim. sean diddy combs not face charges after video of the alleged 2016 on his now-ex, cassie ventura, surfaced. pete: chanley painter joins us now with the details. >> reporter: good morning, team. that disturbing video appears to show combs grab, shove, drag and kick his then-ex-girlfriend -- then-girlfriend, cassie ventura, in 2016, 8 years also. d ash. the footage a was obtained exclusively by cnn and has garnered so much outrage and attention, the los angeles district attorney's office has now released a statement saying the video circulating online to them is extremely disturbing and and difficult to watch, but as far as if criminal charges, they say, quote: if the conduct occurred in 2016, unfortunately, we would not be able to charge

as conduct -- charge the conduct would have occurred beyond the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted. essentially saying it's outside the statute of limitations. so while ventura didn't press charges in 2016, she did sue combs in november 2023 accusing him of physical and sexual abuse include what appears to be this hotel incident. in that filing it says, quote, he followed her into the hallway of the hotel while yelling at her. he grabbed at her and then took glass vases in the hall and threw them at her causing glass to crash around them. ventura dropped the civil lawsuit after combs settled one day later, but the music mogul remains under investigation in a wide-ranging federal probe involving possible drug and sex trafficking allegations. of course, combs denies any wrongdoing. we have reached out to combs and his team for reaction to no video, guy, but no comment as of yet. back to you. pete: thank you, chanley. rachel: thank you, chanley.

pete: you note the charge cans, the video, which is stagger thing, outside the statute of limitations, and were got a guy in a courtroom over here with a bunch of paperwork issues that are outside the statute of limitation, but they found something to height to, you know? if they wanted to find something, we could, probably -- they could, probably. rachel: i think charles manson faced less charges than donald trump. will: well, he made it in his speech the comparison to al capone. rachel: yeah. charles manson, just think about that. somebody like this goes free and still we need to get to the bottom of why this tape came out, what's the timing behind this. will: diddy's tape, yeah. pete: i think it was a civil lawsuit. she got a lot of money, ultimately. rachel: these videotapes were around before. like, where were they? pete: my guess is that it was leverage -- will: but with i'm saying as part of that civil lawsuit, you would assume this type of thing would not come out, but yet it has come out.

he's under investigation for all kinds of things, so there's a lot squirreling around diddy. the. pete: all right. we're going to turn now to a few additional headlines starting with this, a high school senior is dead and his girlfriend is out of the hospital after authorities say a drunk driver slammed into their car on mother's day, splitting it in half. police say the driver crashed into them with his mustang going 122 miles per hour despite a 35 mile speed limit. the senior was just three weeks away from graduating. his girlfriend suffering serious brain injuries. the driver faces a slew of charges including dui and reckless homicide. he's due back in court on the 24th. jeez. terrible. the nypd arresting at least 34 anti-israel, pro-hamas protesters after demonstrators clashed with police officers in brooklyn yesterday according to a new york times report. the crowd reportedly upwards of

250 people and could be heard blaring horns and seen lighting off smoke bombs. no word yet on what charges those protesters will be facing. how about just blocking traffic? rachel: if they were pro-life protesters, they'd all -- pete: they'd be with in rikers right now. these guys are all released. and to spring football, tom brady spotted on the sidelines taking in some week eight ufl action as the michigan panthers took down the memphis showboats thanks to this touchdown the in the fourth quarter.

headlines. rachel: they could have spent a little more time focused on tom brady on the sidelines. we just got, like, just such a quick -- pete: why? because he's such. a good football player? will: because he's now on her mount rushmore along with gavin newsom. there was another entry the other day -- >> yeah, we -- will: there's no question -- we, you. s it was a female actually, i believe. rachel: oh, i said that hope hicks was really good looking. will: well, it's not a passing comment. people only get placed on your mount rushmore when you give half a dozen -- pete: i don't think there's anybody if elsing right now it's tom brady and gavin newsom. i don't know of a third. besides sean dog. rachel: yeah, besides sean. will: a moment ago rachel said this is not what retirees want. it's a fascinating story with

inflation which, by the way, 23% of retirees report changing the amount they've withdrawn since 2021 -- president which is huge if you're on a fixed income. will: right. so there's a new the program out there, which cruise line is making this offer? it's an offer -- pete: v residences? will: you can buy a spot on a cruise ship. i believe it's $299,000 for a single cabin, half a million, so $499,000 for a double cabin, and you live on the cruise ship, ask is you get to see every aspect of the world. pete: you live -- you set sail and it's your house. rachel: that's right. and you get activities, you have your food. i think that's -- i don't know if that's included in the price. pete: if i would hope is. rachel: i think they're counting on a lot of these retire the's not living long enough for this. the bottom line is that this is not what retirees -- pete: set sail to die? if the. [laughter] will: i think it sounds

interesting. rachel: you have to wonder what kind of medical care is onboard as well. pete: i'm sure they have excellent -- will: the chief operating officers, kathy villalobos -- help me out. thank you. one aspect most people near being retirement age is ongoing living expenses and the possibility of outliving their savingsing. this program eliminates that concern altogether while offering the ultimate dream, exploring every corner of the world by sea. pete: so it sounds like a lot of money and it is, but if you're looking at your retirement savings thinking, well, i'm going to spend that out over ten years -- rachel: it makes sense for some people. pete: and free booze. rachel: definitely not if. there's no the way they can do that. will: i don't think 70-year-olds knock if 'em back by the case. rachel: line 'em up, line 'em up, knock 'em back, knock 'em back -- [laughter] well, here's, but the story is interesting in that, again, this

is a very important voting bloc. older americans. they are feeling the heat -- pete: how do you vote from the boat9? if. [laughter] will: let me tell you something -- pete: sorry, you were a making a real point. rachel: that's okay. but you're right, we need to get scott pressler onto the boat. will: i'd talk to my if wife ant this, i said, you know, because our parents, you know, at a certain age a lot of people like to stay in their home, economy understand that. a lot of pride in staying in your own home and independence, but it gets lonely. and i know a lot of people who have moved into, like -- rachel: like senior living kind of neighborhoods? will: yeah. where it's social and there's pickleball, a lot of stuff going on, some card game, i think i want that. pete: i could see that in my future. rachel: i cannot. that is not what i want at all -- will: see ya on the courts later. pete: rachel, either direction, 100%. i could see that as a possibility, but i could also see i want to live on a compound

and never see anyone but my family. rachel: that's what i want. i want a compound, my daughters, my sons, my grandkids all around me. pete: the idea of family living nearby -- will: but they don't. we won't have that. rachel: i can still go play pickleball. will: yeah. rachel: on the compound. [laughter] i want to get out of the compound if -- will: i'm moving to the -- what are the ones in florida? rachel: the villages? will: yeah. a ray i think it's very unnatural to live in an environment where there are no children. of. pete: there are grandchildren. rachel: right. but they're not actually allowed to live at the villages. pete: why not? rachel: because they're not. will: all right. we'll keep this debate going. rachel: you have to own be in the village, you have to be older. pete: well, i know that, but you can is have a grand son sleep over. will: new satellite images show china building a new mystery ship, how it threatens the west,

her uncle's unhappy. i'm sensing an underlying issue. it's t-mobile. it started when we tried to get him under a new plan. but they they unexpectedly unraveled their “price lock” guarantee. which has made him, a bit... unruly. you called yourself the “un-carrier”. you sing about “price lock” on those commercials. “the price lock, the price lock...” so, if you could change the price, change the name! it's not a lock, i know a lock. so how can we undo the damage? we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for. pete: china has launched what is believed to be the world's first dedicated fixed-wing drone

carrier. the communist country already has the largest navy in the world, so is the u.s. prepared to take on can china's naval warfare? here to discuss is former u.s. army special ops intelligence officer is and fox news contributor brett velicovich. we know this is the where warfare is going. but based on what we can assess on this, this vessel is made for drones to deploy around the world. what does it it tell you about what china's trying to do? >> well, good morning, pete. yeah, this is potentially a game-changer in naval power projection globally. it shows china's strategic thinking in harnessing these unmanned aerial technology for operations, and that's something our own government lacks. it's designed for this fixed-wing drone operations, it's equipped to handle modern aerial droneses, and drone carriers like this, you know, offer similar power advantage ises to traditional aircraft carriers because it's a fraction

of the cost with limited risk. it enables them to extend aerial capability over greater distances without having to rely on land bases, they can conduct surveil larynx reconnaissance and, frankly, play a role in future conflicts like taiwan where potentially even drone swarms launched from the sea and land can simultaneously overwhelm military defenses. and naval powers worldwide, they've been adapting existing vessels for drone operations. it's not just china. we've seen iran take a cargo ship and convert it as a drone carrier. so this new approach suggests a significant equipment to integrating drones into china's naval strategy. pete: absolutely. and the desire the project power. these are not just defensive weapons, these are offensive weapons. you talked about naval power. there is a quality to quantity at some level, yes. fewer ships, you can still have more firepower if they're engineered correctly. but china's pumping out a navy that by 2025 is going to be much larger than ours. look at these numbers, bre9, and

want to get you to react to what they say about where we're going. the u.s. has 29 6 ships right now, projected to have 10 less by 2025. china projected to have 40 more, and their capacity the build is much larger than ours. so you combine that with drone technology, some large drones, some very large drones that almost look like, they look like plane on these aircraft carriers, that signals a real threat. >> well, china is the leading threat to our u.s. national security. they're very quiet about it too, especially economically. and this drone carrier just proves that they've moving in that direction militarily. and they're seek ising to undercut u.s. influence around the world k and when it comes to china, we've had national security failure after national security failure when it comes to going up against an adversary that clearly wants to cause us harm. there might not be bombs dropping over u.s. government insulations, but make no mistake, china is wart with

us -- at war with us. i a hate to say it, we're losing that war. they are expanding their military tenfold. they're maneuvers on us in so many parts of the world that most americans have no idea what's happening. diplomatically, stealing intellectual process property from american businesses every single day, buying up farmland are, infiltrate thing our own congress, spying op us in all these different forms, is and most americans, unfortunately, won't realize this until it's too late. and i don't think we're prepared yet as a nation for the great damage that this is starting to cost our national security. pete: that was really well said, not to mention if tens of thousands of chinese nationals this year alone crossing our southern border, certainly with the weeing of the ccp. it's a scary reality. brett velicovich, appreciate your time this morning. >> thank you, pete. pete: thank you. finish you heard it. what he just explained there is an, is a strategy by a foreign entity who seeks our destruction one way or the other.

almost 1000 degrees for the next number of degrees $1000 -- 100. not much more moisture, we have a lot coming in farther off towards the north. still some snow across parts of the northern rockies, but southeast texas, you're looking mostly dry. northern parts of texas and towards the northern plains a a lot of poise chuff coming because of a severe weather outbreak. some very damaging winds across parts of kansas today, tomorrow as well and tuesday potentially more of a tornado outbreak that we're going to be watching so unfortunately, rachel, we have severe weather ahead for the next three days, can't get out of this party of extreme weather across the central part of the country. rachel: all right. thank you, rick. argentina's president continuing to stun his critics. the world's first libertarian leader already producing an economy that has outperformed expectations. the country's monthly inflation rate, which was among the highest in the world, was down

to under 9% in april. that's down from 25% when he first took office in december. here with what this means for us in the and our wallets, heritage foundation fellow economist ej antoni p. he joins us now. this is such a fascinating topic. first of all, it's kind of a miracle, the drop in the inflation rate is astounding just from decide. from december. this is the also a story about money printing, so i want to get to -- let's start with the lessons. what are the lessons for the if u.s., and then we can talk about money printing, which we're doing at hot of. >> certainly, rachel. money printing would be one of the lessons for the united states. hook, the problem here is and, frankly everywhere,s it is government spending. when the government spends too much money and runs these massive deficits with no way to pay for them, the central bank always steps in to print the money to finance it all. and that's where we get inflation if. it's true here, it's true in argentina, it's been are true in

every country throughout the world that has suffered these a massive bouts of inflation. rachel: yeah, but it's just so weird. it's easy to look at what argentina if went through, and why would we want to go down that route? and we're doing it at a much greater rate, right? >> oh, rachel, you're spot on. that's exactly correct. but, see, this is where i think the american people should actually have some hope because as bad as inflation is here in the united states and as slow as economic growth is here, things were much worse in argentina. and yet a president was able to turn the it around in record time. we have presidents who talk about balancing the budget over the course of 10 years or 20 years. he did it in a matter of weeks and brought inflation down from trim digits to single dimming jets. rachel: yeah -- digits. so they're printing the money because they're spending too much money, so obviously he must have cut programs. so i want to hear about that part of it because, or you know, we look at our budget, and the reason why politicians don't want to cut the spending is

because every bit of spending has some constituency they don't want to tick off. so what happened with mixer lie -- america pick, lie -- milie the if and what can that the reaction? >> the argentine people have been very happy with what he's done because inflation was creating so much main, that it was much worse than any of the goodies that the government was able to hand out to the people. so he has slashed a lot of departments from the if government, and i don't just mean he has slashed those departments' budget, i mean he is ally nateing things -- eliminating things whole cloth because a lot of these agencies are doing nothing but making trouble for the people. regulation is a big part of this story -- rachel: yes, it is. >> -- as well, rachel, because what he is doing is allowing the free market to bring more goods and services to the argentinean people, especially housing. that's another lesson we could take away here in the united states. by increasing the supply of

housing, it is helping to keep down prices. that's something we desperately need here. rachel: oh, that is such a great point. so printing -- the lessons for us are don't print money p cut your government spending so you don't have to print money. the third one was increase housing supply so people can afford to live and bring the costs of housing down and deregulating. it seems like under the trump administration if they did a lot of deregulation. but not a lot of government, cutting of government programs. do you think that assuming that somebody like donald trump comes in who actually wants to get the economy back in order, do you think our political class and the president, president trump, for example, would have the stomach to do the kind of cutting that javier milieu did? >> i think the reason for that is because he has been the target of so much weaponization

of these government agencies that i think he has personally, firsthand seen how destructive and damaging they are and how little good a lot of these agencies and bureaucrats actually do for the american people x. so they're probably on the chopping block if he wins. rachel: so many incredible lessons just south of out -- us in south america. i hope people are paying attention. this could be a very good blueprint for what to do in another administration if. thanks so much for joining us, e.j., appreciate it. >> thank you, rachel. rachel: you got it. all right. well, former president trump is rallying thousands of texas nra members urging the group to turn out this november. congressman mike waltz reacts live next.

will: former president trump ripping into biden's foreign policy failures while rallying thousands of supporters at yesterday's annual nra meeting in dallas. congressman mike waltz sits on the foreign affairs and armed services committees, and he joins us now. congressman, thanks for being with us. you heard the former president lay out all of the places in the world with america's presence seems to have rolled back over the last just couple of years. what do you think's the difference? like, why? how has this happened over such a short period of time? >> yeah. well, a couple of things, will. one, you know, you can have the most technically superior, capable military in the world, but if our enemies and our add very sauers believe there's -- adversaries believe there's weakness in the white house and they don't believe we have the political will to use it effectively, then you're going to see what we're seeing right now which is our enemies absolutely on the march. secondarily, the president, president trump nailed it. the signal that biden sent the

world with the afghanistan debacle set off a whole chain of events to lead us why we are today. and thirdly, his people around him, i don't think it's him could -- calling the shots anymore, but blinken, sullivan and others is have an appeasement-first approach, you know? if they're the kid on the schoolyard getting picked on and pushed around by the bully, and their approach is to always go back to the a table with the bully and say can i give you a little more lunch money, is there anything if -- something else i can do? that's what they've done with iran, and now iran is flush with cash and, you know, have their terrorists threatening to wipe israel off the a face of the earth. i mean, it is -- none of this would have happened, and that is absolutely, i can back it up with fact after fact that none of this would have happened under president trump. will: i understand that chain of events starting with afghanistan, congressman. explain to me ukraine though

because it's the outlay year. that's when -- outlier, that's where appeasement doesn't seem to be the strategy, continuous funding is part of the biden administration's policy and positioning --? >> oh, no -- will: go ahead. >> yeah, no, respectfully, will, i disagree. putin invaded ukraine with crimea in 2014 you should obama and biden -- under obama and biden, and he got away with it. he got very little pushback. in fact, obama refused, refused the give ukraine any type of lethal aid. president trump was the first to actually start sending in javelins and send in the green berets, i'm proud to say, to start training the ukrainian military. and then also president trump started holding germany and the europeans to account. so what did putin do? he bided his time. [laughter] it's no coincidence that he went for round two in 2020 -- excuse

me, in 2022 and thought he could get away with it just like he did under obama. and then in terms of the strategy since then, biden has had a too little, too late, trickle it in strategy that has bogged us into a quagmire in that putin thinks he can eventually grind out ask win. will: no doubt i understand the motivation, an opening that a putin might have seen both under obama and then once again waiting for that window of time when there's a return to that same level with biden. but, but i guess what i'm having trouble ration rationalizing, i see the predictability, i see the appeasement in so many areas, and then there's ukraine. and i hear you say trickle it in. and even if putin goes, well, now's my opportunity, it seems to be the one bombastic position held -- well, not just by democrats, republicans as well, but held by joe biden. >> well, fair, but he talks out of both sides of his mouth. he says, ukraine, i'm going to

give you arms, but i'm not going to give you the arms you need to win. i'm going to give you arms, but you can't target russia's energy infrastructure. i'm going to demand the american people because he thinks it works for him politically, i'm going to demand the american people dig deeper in their pockets and republicans are stopping it, but yet i'm not going to say anything to the europeans and demand they the dig deeper in their pockets. so it is -- he's talking out of both sides of his mouth because he does think it makes him look tough in the wake of the failures in afghanistan, the failures in the middle east and the failures everywhere else in the world. will: yeah. you and i have had some fascinating conversations, by the way, i had a debate with rebeccah heinrichs on the will cain show about why america's presence is so important for something like ukraine, and i'd love to the hear more on president trump what his position would be going forward on ukraine. always -- >> i think it's --

will: go ahead, really quick. >> he's focused on ending the war rather than some vague notion of winning the war which biden still hasn't defined. so he is focused on driving the two to the table, and that's taking a tough approach with putin as well as with the ukrainians to say how do we get this to some type of resolution. will: that's good stuff. thank you so much, congressman, for your perspective and putting light on president trump's there as well. we'll see you next time. >> all right. thank you, will. will: all right, pete, over to you. pete: all right. thank you, will. we're going to do a copying of headlines -- couple of headlines starting with this, at least seven people were hurt after of a propane tank exmoded at a restaurant judd -- exfloated just outside a restaurant overnight. a heat lamp fell just before the explosion. five of the victims, including all three children, were taken to the hospital while two others were treated at the scene. the explosion is still under investigation, but police believe it was accidental.
