Pete, i know, has been training hard because he loves to win, but he lost at least so far. Griff i think somethings slowing him down. Douglas at least we can see which one he is in the water.

Reporter a fabulous birds eye view, and im not just talking about the water, the statue of liberty. Being surrounded by 220 very jacked, inshape men who serve our country, im to not mad about a it. And i have to say im really impressed by the performances of our very own will cain and pete hegseth. I think pete, i have a feeling hes going to make a comeback. I think hes going to be the first one out of the water at ellis ellis island. Statue of liberty to ellis island, another threequarter mile swim, the same distance they just swam from Liberty State Park to the statue of liberty. The difference here, they have the current assisting them, so its going to be a huge gamechanger. Thats going to be such a big help. Both of them got out of the water, they were pretty drained, but you can see all of them making their way, and once they get to ellis island, theyve got to get back up, do another 100 pushups, 20 pullups and each stop commemorates a Little Something different, the next stop all of the immigrants who came over to america searching for better lives to really live the american dream.

Its a beautiful sunny day here, and well see what happens. Well see if its pete or will out first, but ill be the first to report it. Rachel thank you, charly. Douglas joking aside, this is an amazing challenge. This is a real grueling exercise, isnt it . Every single time after the swim youve got the pullups, the pushups and then back in the water. Rachel back into the dirty water. [laughter] douglas careen water of the clean water of the hudson, what are you doing . Griff pete was saying you know whats amazing is were hard velled and wowed by the fact that Pete And Will will doing this today, this is what navy seals do every day to be the front line of defense against our nations enemies.

Were going to move now to a a fox hurricane alert, hillary is barreling towards mexico and california where people are bracing for a once in a century storm, major impact expected tomorrow.

Douglas Major League Banal and soccer already baseball and soccer already delaying several games sunday ahead of the storm. For more on this story, download the fox weather app on any connected device. Rachel all right. Were going to move now to our 2024 president ial race. Republican rival ares are prepping this week for the big debate here on fox news. And and as we are looking at what they all are prepping for, we also took a look at some stuff that Vivek Ramaswamy is putting out there that really is separating him from the pack in many ways. Hes calling it his commandments. Letz take a look at what they are. He says, thurm one, god is real number one, god is real. Two, there are two genders. Three, Human Flourishing requires fossil fuels. You think so . Reverse racism is racism. Five, an open border is no border. Six, parents determine the education of their children. Seven, the Nuclear Family is the greatest force of governance known to mankind, and eight, capitalism lifts people there out of poverty. Nine, there are three branches of the u. S. Government, not four, not the bureaucracy which he promises to rein in. And number ten, the u. S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history. Pretty strong way to come out of the gate. Douglas its really interesting, ramaswamy is, came from very low down expectations, i think, in the beginning i think when he first announced, you know, hes running for something, but hes actually, you know, hes third in almost all the polls rachel second in some. Douglas second in some, and whenever you watch him on the Campaign Trail, it happened again this week a moment of his went viral, the interesting thing is and it and it goes to these Ten Commandments of his is we are all used to republicans and others in the primaries doing talking points. The thing is with ramaswamy, he does actually not only mix up the talking points, he also shows repeatedly that he can really argue for them. Hes really thought them through from first principles, from experience in business, from the experience of making jobs, of creating a family. And thats what i think is really interesting about him is hes not just your sort of stock politician saying these things. Every time hes challenged on them, he has a really intelligent, thoughtthrough and, crucially, courteous answer. Rachel that was actually interesting you say that because what we saw there was a little bit of video from an exchange that he had with a woman who claimed she was nonbinary and sort of tried to put him its a kind of Gotcha Question that usually gets republicans befuddled, and yet he took the question from this young woman that you see right here, and he said, listen, youre talking about minority rights. What were experiencing now is the tyranny of the minority. And he really turned it on its face and left her really speech he is. But as you said, in a very courteous and polite way, and i think a lot of people saw that clip, it went totally viral all week, and i think it really caught people s attention. Griff yeah. And theres a sense of authenticity to vivek thats catching poems attention, why were seeing the rise in the polls. He, like all the other candidates, and well hear it on the debate stage, vivek will be among them, what theyre going to do about the problems facing america particularly starting with the Kitchen Table issues, making ends meet, not having enough money because prices are high because of inflation and iowas governor, kim reynolds, talked about what matters to iowans. Heres what she said. Its the economy, its the border, the spending. Its just the lack of common sense, you know . Were pretty basic here in the, you know, we do great things here in iowa, but theres just no common sense anymore to the way that were running this country at the federal level. But the spending, the inflation, so economy overall. The border. People are really concerned. Were experiencing it here. Every state is a border state. Were seeing huge increases in fentanyl thats being confiscated, so think how much is getting through. Thats really, i think, on the minds of iowans as well. Rachel that was the governor of iowa saying, you know, Kitchen Table issues, the economy, the border as you talk so much about, griff, and have reported so much from all having an impact. When you look at the actual poll numbers, vivek doing well, definitely leapfrog Over Desantis whos been quite a disappointment to so many of his donors and supporters in this race. But the far out and above winner is donald trump, and what that tells me personally is that people, the Republican Base is still not satisfied with how the last two elections have gone in the terms of unfairness, right . The russia hoax which undermined the first term for President Donald Trump and then, and were going to talk about this a little later on with John Ratcliffe, you know, all that was done to undermine, for example, the 51 Intelligence Officers who, you know, signed a letter knowingly lying about the information of corruption on Hunter Bidens laptop being russian disinformation. That sort of thing that undermined and impacted and many people say was election interference, that stuff people are still upset about. And i think thats why youre seeing Donald Trumps poll numbers not just because he had a great economy and he has a lot of great policies that so many of them picked up, but i think that people they cant get over douglas unfinished business. Rachel unfinished business. No matter how much everyone says weve got to move forward and look ahead, yes, but we cant have a twotiered system of justice, and we cant allow democrats to weaponize government so they can pick the republican candidate for us. Griff youre right. Voters are very upset about what they perceive as the twotiered system of justice because you have the former president facing 91 criminal charges which is the first time in history weed that a candidate, let a alone a former president trying to deal with the Campaign Trail and the if courtroom. But at the same time, americans are also in that dual scenario thats more traditional dealing with the Kitchen Table issues talking about and what they perceive as a violation of their rights with their kids, because we keep seeing these school stories. That thats why today were highlighting this story out of new jersey. Now, theres three School Districts among all the School Districts in new jersey that decided, hey, you know what . Were going to institute a policy to allow School Officials in those schools to notify parents, you see the three districts here, to notify parents if their children are indicating that theyre having Gender Issues and thinking about changing their gender or identity. And yet new jersey, the governor, the Attorney General suing those districts saying, hey, you cant do that. Here is a statement from Bruce Pa A Dula who is the school, the lawyer for those School Districts fighting trying to allow parents to be notified. He says this we strongly disagree with the courts ruling and believe there are several grounds for appeal. Significantly,ing however, the court decided to maintain the status quo, that is, to not tell planters, and to parents, and to not rule on the policy. It is not discrimination to tell parents if their child decides to change Theiren Gender in their student records. The law supports our position. So thats this fight playing out, and that affects parents across the country. Its in new jersey now, it can come to your state and your School District at home. Rachel yeah. Its so so interesting, you know, you study history so much, douglas. I mean, when you look at this idea of the state feeling that they own the children, this is the right out of the communist, marxist playbook. They see themselves as they see the family unit, frankly, as a challenge to the authority and preeminence of the state. Douglas yeah. And the idea that the family has to be effectively split up or have something put in between the members of the family. Thats whats so shocking about this case. It is utterly shocking9 that the state should actually try, force itself into the family home and force itself into the lie as well, because thats what it is. Identify written about this in the post recently again, theres all this stuff about people talking about changing genders. You cant change gender. You cannot change sex. Theres a lot of sort of lie that the state is increasingly encouraging on people. Rachel but thats also communistic too. Douglas absolutely. Rachel its a power play, im going to say douglas something you know isnt true. Exactly true. To demean and demoralize the population by making us believe things we know not to be true. But heres another thing on this, because quite often American Parents say to me what would you suggest i do, and i always say the same thing. If your child is in a school which is encouraging this, you will see lots more students identifying as different genders. So theres a very easy way out of this, im not saying its practically easy, but it is an easy piece of advice. Get your child out of that school to an area where kids are not being encouraged into this nonsense. Because you know what in its all big in palo alto, new york and so on, much of this country has no time for this, and School Authorities in america are not encouraging this. So take your kids rachel i would beg to differ with you on, listen, im going to big to differ with you. In the Public School system, now im in new jersey, my kids are in a catholic Classical Academy where none of this garbage and nonsense is being done, but if you go to Public Schools an even in the middle of rural wisconsin, douglas, that is whats so scary. These arent berkeley and brooklyn ideas douglas thats true. Rachel taking over the teaching colleges, theyre turning out students and curriculum with this kind of cultural marxist, as you said, lies, and theyre turning and theyre really causing sexual confusion. Theyre robbing children of their incidence, and theyre of their innocence, and theyre separating children from the values of their families. Its happening in brooklyn, and its happening this rural america. Take your children out, but i dont think its to another Public School can, think the only answer is School Choice so people have a true way out. And home schooling, exactly. Griff its going to be an election issue, and thats why, as we pointed out, Glenn Youngkin got elected in virginia. Youre going to hear more about this on the Campaign Trail. Meanwhile, texas police saying an illegal immigrant is a Person Of Interest in the Sexual Assault and murder of an 11yearold girl, the body of Maria Gonzalez was found by her father last saturday stuffed underneath her own bed. Investigators are searching for this 18yearold Guatemalan National who crossed the border in january only to be let free. Hed been living at the same Apartment Complex as the girl and vanished after being questioned in her death. Rachel our government is come prison sit in this murder. Open borders are why that happened. Griff and Progressive Insurance is being sued for Racial Discrimination the after offering 25,000 grants to only blackowned businesses. The lawsuit was filed by America First legal on behalf of the Company Called freedom truck dispatch. The ohio Business Owner claims he couldnt apply because hes right saying the grant also excludes other ethnicities like asian and latino. Funds for the from the grant would be used for purchasing a vehicle. It is part of the effort to help black entrepreneurs that have struggled to access capital. And a democratic Pennsylvania State lawmaker is pitching a 4day, 32hour workweek, you heard that right, that would not reduce worker pape pay. Earlier weed asked you what you think of the idea, and we got mixed messages, interestingly. Todd writes, this might be a a good idea if the hours of the days they are working are expanded to improve opportunity for the public they serve. And lori says this, absolutely ridiculous. Nobody ever became more successful by working less hours. Our government wants us to become lazy and accordingly, more dependent on the government. Those are your head ryans. I bet you agree with that headlines. Rachel i agree, but im also for worklife balance, is so im a little conflicted on the one hand. I guess i wouldnt mind working [laughter] douglas you just want a break. Rachel theyre absolutely right, there is an intention by the government to make people more dependent on them, and so this could definitely be and and weve seen the work ethic in the American Culture declining. Douglas yeah. And also everything since the lockdowns, so many people all the polling Shows Millennials and others saying, well, you know, if the job doesnt offer the flexible hours i want rachel how about in europe in hows that working . Douglas its very similar. But i think most of us are surprised the way in which its happened in america. The polls show that since lockdowns and the working from home an increasing number of Young Americans are like, well, if the job doesnt fit my newfound lifestyle, the job will have of to go. I dont know, theyre lucky people if there are that many jobs to choose f
