>> admiral levine, he has stated he does not regret he waited until he was in his 50s to transition, he was able to have a family. by taking age restrictions away, this is going to push more children into irreversible medical transitions that will leave them sterile and they will not be able to have families. i want to point out that path in and of itself is an advocacy group and should not be followed by any medical provider. michael shellenberg did excellent expose on how really unscientific the wpath is in the first path. academy of pediatrics are basing their guidelines on the wpath, has a unex section and believe children request have a unic identity. it blows my mind. >> carley: world professional association of health. if you read e-mails, erin, some doctors within this organization worked at centers and said they did not think they should remove age restrictions. they said, if we base this on science and being ethical, wouldn't ages be helpful. there were opposing arguments, but ultimately they went along with what admiral levine wanted to happen. in european countries, you can't get transgender surgery unless you are 18 or up. in the united states, more children are opting to get the surgeries. there has to be increase in children being interested in this. what do you think that reason is? >> the reason is our public schools are pushing this from kyndryl onward. they are telling a child they can change sex and a doctor can have assigned the wrong gender to them and they can change sex and this is impossible. they are lining up kids and the reason they are doing this is that this is a 6.3 billion industry for surgeries alone, that is predicted by 2030, there is so much money to be made off poor children. >> carley: a lot of times it is all about the money, as they say. after this "new york times" report, white house told fox news, the biden administration does not support surgery for minors, that is their instance today. thank you for joining us on this. we appreciate it. how about this, new report gives inside look at candidate strategies for tonight's cnn presidential debate and main-stream media is making interesting predictions. >> donald trump will lie, we know he will lie, we know he will speak. he interrupts, bullies, stalks astalks. >> todd: joe concha is in atl atlanta, he'll tell us what he wants to see tonight. keep it here on "fox and friends fi first". ." . it's scien to help . centrum gives every body a healthy foundation. supporting your - oops - energy, immunity and metabolism. and yours too! you did it! plus try centrum silver, now clinically proven to support memory in older adults. i look back with great satisfaction on my 32 years in active duty. i understand the veteran mentality. these are people who have served. they've been in leadership positions. they're willing to put their life on the line if necessary. and they come to us and they say, i need some financial help at this point in time. they're not looking for a handout. they're looking for a little hand up. my team at newday usa is going to do everything we possibly can to make sure that veteran gets that loan. no one takes care of veterans like newday usa. with so many choices on booking.com there are so many tina feys i could be. so i hired body doubles to help me out. splurgy tina loves a hotel near rodeo drive. oh tina! wild tina booked a farm stay to ride this horse. glenn close?! with millions of possibilities you can book whoever you want to be. that's my line! booking.com booking.yeah >> todd: tonight is the cnn presidential debate. new report is giving close look at strategies. nbc report ing president biden h has -- sound unglued. trump is taking a casual approach mixing private policy session with campaign ap appearances and he's predicted that biden will be jacked up on drugs to sharpen him. here is how d.c. elite are expecting it to go. >> another example of how unfit for presidency donald trump is. donald trump will lie and we know he will lie because we know that he will speak. >> i believe the contrast on policy and tempament and fitness for office will be great for biden. >> it is only candidate that sounds manic is president trump, he interrupts, bullies, stalks and acts creepy and he's a diminished figure since last time he ran. >> carley: joe concha joins us now. pundits are doing what they do. i am so interested in amount of information we are getting from biden campaign on president biden's strategy. if we know zingers and one liners are written in advance, they don't have the same effect. what are you looking for with both candidates? >> joe: greetings from at be lanta, comedy only works when you don't see it coming. right? if we hear in advance biden cam campaign leaking they have zingers ready. we live in a world built on viral sound bites. biden won because he got into this wash about upon donald trump about being a convicted felon. i think in the end, the issues matter in terms of contrast between donald trump and joe biden in terms of do things cost more than they did when things did when donald trump was president? yes. people are moving out of places like california and new york to florida, extension 10 see /* are we embroiled in two wars and giving billions of dollars overseas and do americans like that? not sure. i can go through the litany, bottom line is, if joe biden thinks zingers are going to win a debate, maybe media will celebrate. got you. people want to hear about issues and nobody is talking about this that much, what is joe biden's plans for the next four years to make this country better than it is right now? we don't hear about the future, we only hear how horrible donald trump is and saving democracy by jailing their opponent. >> todd: it is dangerous to force zingers and one liners in joe biden's head, that could trip him up if he's trying to think of these. democrats and their allies know they lose on issues so they focus on the tempament narrative. one headline reading joe biden old school in new school era. and donald trump has one debate mode bullying. explain this narrative the media is trying to poison the well with and do you think it is going to work? >> it is about personality and t temperament. we know what their records are and wo the results have been under one man and the other. donald trump has acknowledged in first debate in 2020, he may have been too aggressive and did not allow joe biden to speak and be joe biden. in doing so, that may have hurt him, by his own admission. second debate in 2020, he was more moderated and many thought he won that debate. we see photos of him on the campaign trail and he's been a happy warrior through trials and that optimistic trump that uses mockery and smiles a lot, we will see that trump not taking debate, he knows that plays into everybody's hands. to your point, todd, when 16 people advise you and biden campaign leaked that as if that is good thing. biden's cpu at 81, may fry if you feed him different lines and information, i don't know if he'll be able to handle that. sometimes you can or overprepare. he will not have a teleprompter or script to save him. when that happens, it is clean up on aisles 24. >> carley: two candidates, no o audience, 29 fact checkers and first line, we got to leave it here, first line talks about how they employed fact checkers, one candidate is convicted of 34 felonies and what he called a rigged trial. talk about how fact checking will go before the debate starts. thank you for joining us. >> todd: have fun, long day for you. >> carley: have a good one. >> todd: military and first responders will pack the state capitol tomorrow, protesting a bill. this bill would add new guidelines, requiring participates to live in virginia, allowing funds to go to undergraduate degree. challenging some disabilities that qualify. tonya barrett was expecting to be a recipient after losing her husband. you planned on your son getting these benefits. explain how. >> well, good morning, todd. my husband died in 2010, state of virginia says if you line die in line of duty, you get education taken care of. for us, just tuition piece, it wasn't anything else. my son was six at the time and he's grownup and going through high school and we literally planned our life around him going to a state-supported school in virginia. for this to be only he is gr grandfathered in one year and it could be taken away after that. >> todd: i know you well, uva is a good school, it is not cheap, if you lose the benefits, what then? >> i've told him, we'll do what we've always done since 2010, we'll figure it out and do what the state is asking us to do. right now, it is the last dollar. he applies for scholarships and we'll figure it out. >> todd: you're not alone, 6000 people are utilizing these benefits. governor youngkin putting out, i stand with military families and first responders who are stunned this bill has been considered supported by senators. tonya, who is trying to rip the benefits from you and why? >> you know, that is very interesting. there is a senator in virginia holding this bill up. it went to the senate this past monday and was held up on friday and should go to the house. it should be a no-brainer and has to go back to the senate then. we think skilled games is a factor in this and it is unfortunate that is holding this up. >> todd: when you see money our government gives to illegals that should not be here, that gives to people for student loans and you look at your situation, you have to ask yourself, why are they going after my family, after my family sacrificed so much to keep virginia and america safe. i hope the fact governor youngkin is behind you gets you the money you deserve. best of luck. now to this, 12-year-old jocelyn nungaray being laid to rest today and democrats are dodging questions on the issue of migrant crime. >> can i ask you about the 12-year-old girl in houston. >> i don't know who you are and i don't know who she is, i live in pittsburgh. >> carley: the attorney for the family of rachel moran will join us on all of this coming up next. plastic is not wasted... but instead remade over and over... into the things that keep our food fresher, our families safer, and our planet cleaner. to help us get there, america's plastic makers are investing billions of dollars to create innovative products and new recycling technologies for sustainable change. because when you push for smarter solutions, big things can happen. they say seeing is believing, but with stearns & foster® that's only part of the story. we handcraft every stearns & foster® using the finest materials, like indulgent memory foam, and ultra-conforming intellicoils®, for a beautiful mattress, and indescribable comfort... every single night. shop now, and bring home incredible comfort during our july 4th sale, and save $400 on select mattresses. stearns & foster®. what comfort should be. learn more at stearnsandfoster.com. people couldn't see my potential. so i had to show them. i've run this place for 20 years, but i still need to prove that i'm more than what you see on paper. today i'm the ceo of my own company. it's the way my mind works. i have a very mechanical brain. why are we not rethinking this?

>> it is important to make sure we know people's intentions, sometimes people slip through the tracks. >> todd: jocelyn's family is not the only family impacted by violent migrant crime. the attorney for family of rachel moran is here. everything is through the lens of debate today. what could joe biden say that would give some comfort to your clients? >> it is important tonight and the family and i would challenge both candidates to say rachel's name tonight. rachel moran was a human being. not only say her name, how are you going to change the situation to prevent a future rachel moran. this murder was preventable. this suspect came across four separate times. if somebody broke into your home three times, would you keep letting them back and do nothing to them? >> todd: there is guy who is supposed to be in charge of that, his name mayorkas, here is what he said yesterday. >> safety and security of american public is our highest priority. we screen and vet individuals when we encounter them. if we learn of derogatory information we take enforcement action accordingly. individual responsible for a heinous act is the criminal and we bring full force to bare on the individual. >> todd: taking no responsibility for the open border policy, is that the answer rachel's family is looking for? >> absolutely not, they should be saying we are stopping everyone coming across so there is not another rachel moran. this suspect in her case was wanted for murder in el salvador, why were they not looking for him, he had a warrant since january of 2023. he is lying saying we are doing these things when we know somebody is a bad guy. we xu this guy was a bad guy. we should have had his information to track him down. >> todd: this administration celebrates 2400 per day, the number should be zero. rachel moran's mother patty spoke about the border crisis and said president biden has not shown concern for anything american people voiced on this issue. he is in an ivory tower and we are just down here. what does rachel's family hope to hear from donald j trump tonight? >> they have already heard from president trump, he called last week to offer condolences and patty spoke to him for 20 minutes. we've heard nothing from the biden administration, not even weep are sorry about rachel's death. tonight is when they address rachel's case and jocelyn nungaray. this has to stoch, they have to shut it down and prevent another rachel moran. >> todd: and blaming americans for not agreeing to a swiss cheese agreement this year is not an answer the people deserve. will joe biden deliver the answer. thank you for your time and thank you for representing clients going through hell right now, we appreciate it. >> carley: check in with lawrence jones live in columbus, georgia, talking to voters about top issues ahead of the cnn presidential debate. >> lawrence: good morning, great day in columbus, georgia. we are at ruth ann's, the presidential debate will be simulcast on fox news. what do voters want to hear from candidateses?

>> it was an overall sense of curiosity what was happening in the world around me and in the course of the pandemic. lawmakers and various professionals on television providing their opinions and what have you. i was just asking questions kind of on my own in my mind. and then eventually i started posing those questions to elected officials whether it be through email and some of them kind of started posing maybe we should have a zoom conversation. and so we did. i started publishing those conversations for other people to benefit from and so it has certainly been a lot of fun. i have gotten to talk to some very interesting people and just being able to tell people's stories and not always is that super prominent people. sometimes the people with the most meaningful stories are those who are forearm living in a local community where disaster has struck. there is a lot of kind of disasters as you would know that is really trying to tell the story in the best way possible. >> carley: that's so true. i know your goal is to cover politics from a nonpartisan lens which is very much needed right now. how do you think -- >> -- of course. >> carley: how do you think the debate tonight is going to go and what are you looking out for each candidate president trump prove is he going to be able to govern effectively in face of the legal troubles he is facing. and biden the cognitive issues and the fact whether it be owe juneteenth event or jimmy kimmel he had a lot of people talking about clipped that was posted on social media. as a result, donald trump is more than likely to bring up some of those struggles and president biden is going to need to defend himself. that is certainly something that whichever candidate can fulfill their end of the bargain in a more effective way the pundits and commentators and the american people for that matter will be able to confidently say who won the debate. >> carley: we saw pictures of you interviewing r.f.k. jr. you also interviewed justin trudeau. out of all of the people in the world, who the one person you want to interview the most. >> i think just based off of the context right now it would certainly be either donald trump or joe biden. for that matter i think a lot of people have some questions. if we're looking at the geopolitical scene as a whole around the world, there is a number of people that kind of interest me whether it would be arden from immediately to who was the prime minister for some time or as an example recently i interviewed finland's president. so there are a lot of people who are impacting geo politics perhaps don't get the amount of conch they deserve. a long list of people as any journalist would be. >> carley: that's amazing. your parents must be so proud. 20 seconds remaining, what do your parents say about all of this? >> they are super is supportive. one question i get are your parents interested in politics? are your parents interested in journalism they must be in order for you to be doing what you do. very much not the case they're still super supportive of everything i do and always cheering me on appreciative of that. >> carley: we know you are going to do a great job covering this debate. have great day. it's one i'm sure you will remember for the rest of your life. thanks for joining us. >> thank you so much. >> carley: you are very welcome. what great kid. >> todd: that kid is smart and smooth i think he is coming for my job. you had a great rapport together. stay in canada, wyatt. >> carley: the conch of the debate starts at 8:00 eastern. tune in to "fox & friends first" an hour early tomorrow starting at 4:00 a.m. eastern time followed by "fox & friends" at 5:00. >> todd: we will have some fun tonight. right now, "fox & friends" begins. have great one, everybody. ♪ ♪
