♪ ♪ everybody's working for the weekend ♪ rachel: good morning, everybody. s the 9:00 -- it is 9:00 here in new york, and everybody's working for the weekend except we work on the weekends. pete: yep. this is our theme song, if we had one, right here. rachel: a beautiful picture of

el paso. the west is so beautiful. will: i agree. rachel: so beautiful. pete: more beautiful than wisconsin. will: will uh-oh. rachel: it depends on the time of year. wisconsin in the summer is a slice of heaven, but there's nothing like a desert sunset. the desert is beautiful. and i feel like it's so americana. i love the wildlife. will: i agree with that. rachel: yeah, i know you do. we share that. will: for sure. you gonna karaoke some working for the weekend for us? that's' to your thing, right? pete: i once did it. will: it lives in infamy. i wasn't even there. i hear that song, and i picture you on a stage doing -- pete: there is a iphone video -- rachel: why is it so famous? pete: i think only because i've mentioned it. it's more infamous than famous. will: coast to coast. pete: coast to coast people know about it?

now they do. rachel: i imagine there were a few cocktails before that. pete: absolutely not. you mow me. [laughter] entirely sober rendition of working for the weekend. rachel: from pete hegseth? sure. [laughter] pete: we should do a karaoke contest. each of us sing a song, we pick it and the viewers vote. rachel: remember when we did saxophoning? that was fun. we did kenny log begins. kenny loggins. we have a competition at the end of the show. we are going to put flower arrangements together. i have a feeling i might win. will: because you're a girl? rachel: yeah. i can do it way better than you guys, i'm sure of it. [laughter] pete: it is international women's month. rachel: yeah. does that still exist? pete: good question. on this couch it does, and we honor you. rachel: at "fox & friends" i'm still a woman, all right?

i'm not a birthing person. pete: yes, you are. will: all right. we want to make you aware of this story. it's insane. the state of california has prepared a panel to come up with a fig for reparations for each of the, i believe, qualifying 1.8 million black residents of california. the figure has been raised from $220,000 to $360,000 each. as residents say payments are only, the only way to stop our children from busting into liquor and grocery stores. rachel: is that a quote? will: that's a quote i just ready. rachel: unbelievable. pete: from this series of quotes at that event, watch. >> i'm here right now to say there's only one thing, one thing that would stimulate this economy, and i need you to spread the word with your heart to governor gavin newsom, and that one thing is cappal the, money -- capital the, money, reparations. that will stimulate this economy

for the 2.6 million blacks in california. there's only one thing that would stop our children from busting into these liquor stores and grocery stores, stealing junk food and stealing different things, and that's reparations. there's only one thing -- [applause] that would stop our kids from busting into these jewelry stores stealing watches and jewelry, and that's reparations. so i need you, gavin newsom, to understand that if you have an intention of running for the presidency after, after biden gets his presidency -- [applause] we need you to understand so goes california, so goes the nation. will: so this call for reparations in the state of california follows, by the way, san francisco which as a city passed back in january a figure of $5 million for every black, qualifying black resident of san francisco. rachel: are they really giving this money? because i keep thinking, this

like, a joke. but it's for real. will: that's the key, rachel. it's for real if they a pass it. they don't have the money for it x they know it. not in the state of california nor in the city of san francisco. they don't have that in their budget. that's an insane figure. so what do you think it is? it is yet -- when we say the word virtue signaling, it's almost too cliche. this is hollow. it's magic. it's make believe. and it's designed to pat the back of the person who grants the make believe money, right? the san francisco city council gives away $5 million now they can be proud of themselves, except there is no $5 million. st fake. it's the ultimate hollow virtue signal. pete: i've had the same feeling for a while like this can't be real. this is very real. this will become an increasing part of our political discourse. i think what that gentleman said at the end is right, what starts in california is going elsewhere. this will become a litmus test for future democrat politicians. not whether we should give

reparation, but how much and to whom in a increasing amount and widening scope. don't pay any attention to the pact that california, slavery was never allowed in california. it was never legal at any moment many in california. this is a product of you saw one of the gentlemen there wearing a sweatshirt that said 1619 matters. this is the logicallened state of an idea -- logical end state of an idea that says america was sinful from the beginning, and the only way to forgive those -- and, by the way, once reparations were paid were they to be, it wouldn't stop. there's another grievance, there has to be, inside the identity politics world. this is going to be a huge -- it's coming to your state and -- rachel: i think the problem with it isn't just the money, the virtue signaling, you know, 1619. i want to focus on what that gentleman said. he said if you don't do this,

this is the only way that we can prevent our kids from stealing in liquor stores, stealing in, you know, the local corner stores. what i see is if we focus on this, on reparations and on blaming and on victimhood, we're really not focusing on the real problem with the black community which is parenting. the only thing that can stop a kid from stealing in a liquor store is the parents, you know, doing their job. and the has been the problem in so many of these communities, is that there is a fatherhood crisis, there is a lack of parenting, and there's a lot of kids who are hurting because they're not having structure at home. and this is just another way for us to focus on money instead of parenting. will: ifs the an increasing part of the country, then you have to answer a lot of questions like who gets reparations. pete: yeah. will: and here's what the city of san francisco said, by the way. they say you have to have identified black for more than ten years.

rachel: identify? will: that's right. rachel: that's an interesting word. will: and then the you have to satisfy two of eight requirements, either yourself or you are a descendant of someone who's been incarcerated for the war on drugs. your point on slavery in california, you build upon the systemic injustice narrative. you peddled drugs? then you need reparations. you've satisfied one of the qualifications for reparations which, when asked, the city of san francisco -- can how'd you get to $5 million? it was more of a journey. i talk about this more on the will cain podcast. you can hear this all broken down at fox news podcasts.com. pete: well, from california to wuhan, china, where we're now learning more and more agencies are admitting what was common sense, that if a coronavirus emerged out of that part of china and there's a coronavirus lab there doing this testing, maybe it emerged from there. well, the senate unanimously, was it yesterday or this week,

unanimously passed a bill that would declassify any intelligence on the possibility of a wuhan lab leak. why is that important? because we were told otherwise for so long from a lot of people who would have been privy to such intelligence were intelligence to the tell us something else. by the way, the house is expected to vote on their side of the bill. if it passed unanimously in the senate, likely it passes in the house. does joe biden sign it? we find out. he was asked yesterday when he walked up to reporters about the origins of covid now that the energy department, i believe was it the energy department? agrees with the fbi on the origins. here's what joe biden said. [inaudible conversations] pete: or what he didn't say. rachel: wow. what disdain for information that our citizens deserve after a million of them were killed by a virus that so clearly leaked out of that lab are because, you know, they're going to release this, hopefully, all this

classified information. we'll find out who knew. pretty obvious fauci kid. but the has so many implications for how we cohealth in our country and who we decide to have relations with and china policy that he just thinks it's not even worthy of thinking about. will: wonder where you get that nickname, walk-away joe. that image right there. we had senator mike braun on earlier, he said it's not only about holding china accountable, but people, institutions here in the united states as well. >> i think not only what happens to china, but also if any of our officials were involved with it, it's got a lot of consequences. i think it'll just verify what we've learned in many other arenas. china is not a handshake business partner on anything. and if this came out of that lab and they tried to suffocate it in terms of not getting to the bottom of it, that's kind of the crowning blow of what could have been maybe a competitive

relationship as biden likes to, you know, phrase it. it's obviously a geopolitical issue that has grave consequences. we'll see what happens. we'll see what's there. will: accountability here at home. rachel: of course. will: ecohealth alliance, peter daszak, dr. fauci, how much did we contribute to funding if this did leak from the lab? rachel: and what did they do to cover it up? we like to think when it comes to china and the united states that we as americans are all on the same team, but this might expose maybe we're not on the same team. maybe some people are playing for both amendments. pete: yeah. there'll be another test for the intelligence agencies as well. if the people who are privy to see this classified documentation are able to see it, like, intel analysts would have looked at the situation, put the pieces together and put them into reports. if they did their job, they put the pieces together that a lot of people could see with their plain eyes. then is it their fault who

withheld it, who didn't share it, who then manipulated it? rachel: and also who funded -- pete: -- the distrust of the fbi and the cia right now, this would be another blow for them if it was something other than aboveboard. rachel: america decided as a country under the obama administration that we would not fund these kinds of freakish experiments, gain of function, that could endanger ask kill off millions of people which covid obviously did, but somehow we found a back door, fauci did, to do this. and then it comes back to, you know, is he responsible in the end for some of it or because can he bear some responsibility, and does he deserve the vaunted pedestal that he has been sitting upon for the last couple decades? pete: and if something is revealed, would anyone else report on it? we'll follow that story as well. all right, more news this morning starting with a fox news alert. actor tom sizemore has died following a brain aneurysm. sizemore was best known for his

roles in heat, blackhawk down and saving private ryan. >> someday we might look back on this and decide that saving private ryan was the one decent thing we were able to pull out of this whole god awful [bleep] mess. that's what i i was thinking, sir. pete: great film, great role. the actor had been in a coma if since last month. his twin sons and his brother were by his side. he was just 61 years old. rest his soul. and in other news, check out this wild police chase in and around los angeles. the driver in that pickup truck under arrest after crashing into a utility pole and trying to make a run for it. police say he led them on a four-county chase yesterday. now, maybe their counties are smaller there, i don't know. will: he's dressed like a rodeo clown. pete: throughout the pursuit the suspect fired a gun from the back window.

the only, like, slightly kind thing the gunman did is right at this moment when he stopped in an intersection and let a big group of kids safely cross the street. he's in a chase, at least he didn't mow over kids. small concession. former house speaker nancy pelosi the latest e democrat to slam joe biden. many in the left feeling blindsided after biden signaled he will not veto a republican-backed resolution to block the d.c. crime bill. watch. >> if he was going to do it, i wish he would have told us first, because this was a hard vote for the house members, and it's a hard vote for the senate members. and the mayor of the district of columbia even differedded from the -- differed from the legislators. pete: this is a hard vote. because everyone knows what the right thing to do is, but we're really scared of our activist base. the bill, which still needs to clear the senate, would

eliminate -- the will would -- the bill would eliminate most mandatory sentences and lower penalties for violent offenses committed in our nation's capital. will: d.c. wanted to do that. pete: the senate and house bill would get rid of what d.c. tried to do. will: right. biden's in the center on this one, and he's trying to do that while at the same time saying i support d.c. statehood. and so the left is going how do you support statehood if you don't let them cowhat you want? pete: it's a really, really bad idea, getting rid of all consequences. will: tom sizemore, great actor. neither of you saw heat? ray i don't think i have. will: remember, it has the famous shoot shootout scene on the streets of l.a., you remember that big, massive shootout of bank robbers in l.a. in the '90s? and then -- nothing. north hollywood. like, i'm getting nothing. you have to go home and watch heat. it is awesome. one of the best bank --

pete: i would definitely watch blackhawk down and saving private ryan again. will: great movie. rachel: coming up, powerful storms sweeping the south leaving hundreds of thousands without power. we're tracking the storm next. will: plus, roses are red, violets are blue, we have a flower arrangement faceoff just for you. ♪ finish i can buy myself flowers -- ♪ write my name in the sand ♪

rachel: we're back with a fox weather alert. powerful storms kill at least 10 people across several states including 3 in alabama, and 4 are dead in kentucky where several oheds touched down. -- tornadoes touched down. will: meanwhile, snowfall in states like michigan causing a lot of trouble on the roads. and in california, san bernardino mountains, the national guard is working to dig the people out of their homes who have been strand for days. pete: some homes in places like big bear lake are buried up to the second floor. one resident writing help me in the snow. let's turn to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for our fox weather forecast. rick: so southern california, they got, like, 10 feet of show in a few days. that's like taking pete and rachel on top of each other

height wise -- will: we're taking a lot of shots at pete today. rachel: that was more of a shot at rachel. [laughter] seriously, it's an incredible amount of show. one good thing out of this this, really great thing, and that is the drought. we've had this drought going on across parts of california for decades really, and this is a year ago -- actually, this was december. sorry, december cans of this year. -- december of this this year. you see this drought right here, that's the most extreme drought, and it's right in the san joaquin valley, the breadbasket of america. so much of our produce is grown right there. now take a look at this, the drought is almost gone in this area, and there's so much snow pack because we've seen so much snow for a couple of months, when that melts, that'll continue to make things better. another storm is coming in the right now, not to southern california this time, back up across the sierra nevadas, so another area maybe 3-4 feet of snow and northern california and coastal ranges seeing some of that as well. all right, all the severe weather we've had for the last

couple of days, 78 tornado warnings, it was a 3-day severe weather event, for the most part that is gone except the tail end is snow across parts of new england which also needs some of in this. lots going on. guys, back to you. pete: thank you, rick. anything else you'd like to make fun of me for? [laughter] rick: i can see you out of the corner of my eye you guys making fun of me making fun of you -- [laughter] rachel: we were trying to figure out how we could make fun of you back. rick: i know. i saw you doing that whole thing while i was doing the weather -- [laughter] pete: you're a pro. rachel: yeah. we're going to kill you with kindness. [laughter] pete: it's our specialty. all right, let's stay here in new york city because the cover of "the new york post" in the morning says 4.6 million a day. for what, you might ask. well, to period and house more than 30,000 illegals who are in the city, and new york city taxpayers are footing the bill to house and feed them right

now. staggering number. will: 30,000 people here in new york city being -- pete: that we know of. will: that we know of being fed e and housed to the tune of almost $5 million a day. pete: and you said this math could be low. will well, the original calculation came in much hire, the city of new york felt the need to correct it down to the figure x. that figure, i mean, the city's budget is not like it's in, like, tiptop shape. rachel: they want to be a sanctuary city, so they -- to give you the other side -- let 'em do it. that's what they want to do with their money, the people of new york voted for all these people who support these policies. let 'em do it. and, by the way, a lot of these are illegal immigrants who came if from texas and other states who sent them over here. send more. will: yesterday i was in an uber, and my driver, leo -- great guy. immigrant from the anyone dominican republic. and he was talking about there's no cops in the his neighborhood anymore. the quantity of cops that he can

visually see on the streets has decreased and, of course, it's a crime zone in my neighborhood, dramatically. and meanwhile, you've got that. that's where the money -- rachel: you mean the neighborhood where your hotel is? will: no, his neighborhood. rachel: oh. pete: 4.2 billion to handle this, imagine how many cops could be hired -- rachel: or how many homeless veterans could be helped with that on hug a g.i. day, which is today? pete: yes. rachel: again, the people of new york voted for people who support not just this policy in new york, but in the open border policy here in the country. will: well, they're going to lose those people. leo said he's moving to tampa. he said i'm going where desantis is running things. pete: we'll have a lot of millionaires and billionaires which is where your pay your fair share tax base comes from. eventually, you run out of money. well, this is all tied to the border because the border's wide open. people are coming to new york city. i had a chance to talk to

michael brown, a former dea special agent and, wul, we also talked about fentanyl earlier, so drug use, drug kents are all up. he talked about the strategies that the cartels are using at the border to get people and enfentanyl successfully into the country. -- to get fentanyl successfully if into the country. watch. >> this is the critical point that the cartels rely on. they know that approximately 80% of border personnel now is being drawn from the border checkpoints to do other issues, to support the immigration process. so they're using a process what we call shotgunning. they're simply sending hundreds of vehicles at one time into the border checkpoints because they know customs can only search a few vehicles at a time in order to keep that traffic moving, right? a lot of peeks -- vehicles that are carrying .al will not be searched. the cartels have a sophisticated infrastructure, garages which basically can take a car apart, create hidden cavities and reseal, you know, millions of pills into the framework of a

vehicle. pete: he points out, most drugs come through legal ports of entry in vehicles, but 80% of the people that work at those spots are now having to work the line because of the influx of people like that coming across illegally in eagle pass, texas, so they can't search vehicles, so more drugs come in. rachel: and the cartels are making money on both ends, right? by human trafficking, they're also taking children who are here and putting them into sec trafficking, they're making money there, they're making money on the drugs, and it's really important. we're seeing more and more signs of mexico's destabilization of the cartels -- as the cartels get stronger. people think that the cartels operate as a mafia. no, they operate more as a terrorist organization which is why you're starting to see more like isis really. and that is why you're starting to see some politicians, at least on the republican side, saying if mexico isn't going to deal with these cartels that are taking over now 40% of the land mass in mexico that they operate

and control, maybe the u.s. government needs to do something. but none of this would have happened if our border hadn't been open. pete: there was a guy, you know, he was president, he talked about building a wall and securing border -- rachel: and got the border more secure than in u.s. history. pete: everything had to be uncone. day one. incredible. undone. by the way, donald trump speaking today at cpac. we'll be watching. rachel: coming up, alex murdaugh, his fate decided in court as he spends his first night in jail. >> the tangled web we weave, what'd you mean by that? >> when i lied, i continued to lie. >> and the question is, when will it end? rachel: my friend trey gowdy breaks down the judge's sentence as the defense plans to appeal. ♪

this long? they were not troubled by his guilt. rachel: yeah, it's so interesting because that is the question, was it a mistake to put him on the stand? and so if you were his lawyer, would you have done that, trey? >> oh, the lawyer doesn't control that. i mean, could you imagine a worse client to have -- [laughter] a lawyer for a client? i. promise you jim griffin and dick hard loot -- harpootlian, they were begging him. but then again, it wasn't them that told hi first time he talked to the cops. the reason he had to testify is because, remember, he said i was nowhere near near the kennel. and then we have this video that has his voice on it. so he had no choice. if he wanted to walk, if he wanted to be acquitted, he had to testify. but i am sure that harpo and griffin were telling him don't you dare do it. will: you know, trey, an obvious

liar, overwhelming circumstantial evidence. did it trouble you at all, if you had been in that jury, did it surprise you the jury came back so quick that there was never -- at least many in my estimation, trey, i want to hear your response, never a clear, obvious motive? >> yeah. you know, motive is so -- i moon, if you and i were to sit here for the rest of our lives and try to come up with a motive, an explanation, a rationale for killing your wife and son, we would never be able to do it. i mean, robbery we understand. i needed money, the bank had money, i went to the bank. killing someone that makes you mad is wrong, it's criminal, but you can understand that. there is no rationale that you and i could come up with for executing your wife and son. so you have to hint at a motive because humans are wired to want to know why. i mean, we all want to know why. but there is no why. so you hint at it. i actually think the prosecutor spent too long talking about the

motive here because why in the world if i'm facing 20 years for embezzlement or theft, why in the world would i expose myself to the firing squad by committing double homicidesome. pete: it's a great question. the defense is vowing to the appeal, trey. what's the likelihood of any success there? >> do you believe in negative numbers?
