not stormy or anything but the current is real and dangerous and difficult. the first year they did it, had to hold onto get through parts of the current. rachel: he's trained up now. he's man bun and jacked up. douglas: i'm grateful that we are here in studio. griff: charlie, arnold, see how things are going. can you give us an update how the boys are doing? >> reporter: everyone looking good. pete's man bun holding up. the guys in those tiny shorts, they are fortunate to be dressed, pretty covered up. it is chilly out here but the water, not too cold. that's good news. they are on the first leg of the swim. i'm told this is the most difficult portion of it because they are swimming against the current. they have the current assisting

them. that's better news. it is a 1 mile swim. liberty island to ellis island and from there, to battery park. the layovers, 22 pull-ups, 100 push-ups. and searching for better lives. and the freedoms, honoring those who lost their lives on 9/11. and e final words? they were ready to go. they have the best of the best surroundings them. 220 participants in the hudson river. we are not going to make anything else but hoping they can accomplish that swiftly.

what is your reaction to the special counsel appointment last week. >> president biden: i have no comment on any investigations going on. that's up to the justice department. rachel: you can see the smile faded. the standalone summit at camp david, the trilateral agreement was made to fight coercion and threats in the south china sea clearly pointing to north korea and china. >> are we winning the competition with china? >> president biden: we are winning all the competitions. rachel: politico is reporting president biden will sign a strategic partnership agreement with vietnam next month. this partnership boosting vietnam's technology sector. the week has ended with heavy work on the international front but according to the latest fox news paul the majority of

voters disapprove of the president's handling of foreign policy, that extends back to october 2021. rachel: speaking of dissatisfaction with president biden let's look at a fox news montage of asking a lot of people what they think of how president biden is doing with his performances in their lives. here's what they have to say. >> i will give him a c-? he hasn't done enough for me. >> i see nothing he has done for the american people. >> f. because he's in my opinion beginning a socialist government. we were built on capitalism. >> when it needed to be calmed down. >> we haven't dealt with issues of the fed real well. i'm worried about that.

>> i am a democrat. our economy is getting better. >> a c-because of the student loan thing. at least he tried. >> afghanistan pool out was pretty calamitous, that's for sure. griff: he is old. douglas: it's very interesting that montage. another things comes up. the american public keep an eye on foreign policy. we were told about domestic issues but the foreign policy phase keeps coming up and seems most of all, that horrific occasion two years ago when america pulled out of afghanistan and gave all the military hardware and equipment to the delavan. it seems a lot of the american public haven't forgotten that and won't and shouldn't.

rachel: people say that's why we had to deal with the situation in ukraine, it encouraged the russians to become more aggressive, situation ukraine is making, you talked about leaving weapons behind in afghanistan. spending a lot of money and weapons in ukraine, depleting our resources as resources militarily speaking as china is showing off this week with russia doing exercises in the south china sea showing what they can do making advances. when your admirals are in dresses, it's time for your enemies to advance and they are seeing problems, money being spent and foreign policy playing into it as they see their pocketbooks getting weaker and weaker, our economy and kitchen table issues.

griff: in the latest fox news paul this was an important issue to voters, immigration and the border because with their own eyes as we show on fox news for the last two years, absolutely open out of control border. a cartel that is thriving because of the policies of this administration. last night on friday night the administration put out the latest july numbers, 183,503. it is up 27% from june, but we had month after month after month where you have these migrants coming, caught and released. that's why they keep coming. it's great the rest of the world sees america as the beacon of freedom and land of opportunity. we are not doing it in a legal

structured enforcement at the border sort of orderly way and getting gang members in trouble. the video we played earlier today, they had video of a 17-year-old driving three illegal migrants, smuggling them, crashed, every single day we see that stuff. here is what he said earlier. >> situation at the border has become more dangerous to law enforcement. the fact we see these armed gunmen coming across the border wearing military armor, high-powered rifles, tactical gear similar to what we would wear or the military wears, making presence known, not firing against fire department agents but early on as well where we have cartel members fire towards national guard to intimidate them.

they have so much more influence. they are not afraid to do these dangerous tactics, and to scare law enforcement. douglas: the illegal immigration issue has been a massive issue for several elections but the latest fox news paul, since the last election, we've seen this come to major cities and democrat cities in particular who used to get away with it. all these places said we are a sanctuary city, welcome all migrants, no one is illegal here. those cities are actually now experiencing what people in texas and arizona have been experiencing for years, new yorkers and others ignoring the border, getting a taste of what it is like.

rachel: it isn't until you live in arizona and texas, 11-year-old girl in texas who was raped and killed by an illegal immigrant who came from guatemala, illegally turned himself in and was released as all of them are and ended up murdering this little girl and sexually assaulting her. he had criminal cases similar to that in his home country. these are the things that are happening but important to talk about what lieutenant olivera said, this is a national security problem. they are brazen and richer and more powerful than ever before. they are using military tactics against our own people, it is increasing, isis scale and beyond, and destabilizing our southern neighbor that used to be and remains an important training partner but we are

creating new national security problems. an interesting point, 2016 and 2020, the border were huge issues and gave donald trump massive advantage and the policies for the democrats in this election doubling down on something that is not working or making people safe. you saw those numbers, those numbers don't include the got aways. griff: 146 individuals hit the terrorist training database. that is more than the last six years combined. that is 124, one hundred 46. a great point, the first time, what is different in this election cycle, you have democrat in new york city eric adams this week publicly on television in front of cameras pleading with democratic governor to do something to

move migrants. i walked down to his hotel yesterday with a video on my phone, not a single one there because they had to move them to a new location. a big issue. douglas: democrats like mayor adams realizing the consequences of their own ideas. turning to your headlines. hundreds of people losing their licenses in a biden administration crackdown. the industry is crying foul saying the move is purely political. of the last fiscal year, 122 and dealers had their licenses revoked, up 35% from the same time the year before. musk facing backlash after announcing x, formerly twitter would drop the block feature. musk saying the feature makes no sense and would only be kept for direct messages.

i feel like joining in and declaring summer over. that's why duncan is so awesome, they brought me a bag of just bacon. there's no pumpkin in here. rachel: how did you get in on this order? griff: a bag of bacon, try that. america runs on duncan. >> it is not very sour this. rachel: it is full of sugar. douglas: let me have another go. i am going to watch that with some bacon. rachel: hispanic voters could be up for grabs in 2,024.

completing the seal swim. across to will, how are you doing? house the water out there? will: a little chilly. it is good. the current is strong coming across to you but pretty well. >> reporter: this is the hardest leg of the swim because you're working against the current. did you feel that? >> yes. this is 3 quarters of a mile to ellis island, a mile and 1/2 in. rachel: i thought he was going to beat you out. will: he's out there somewhere. rachel: noman left behind. >> reporter: what is like being out there with the rest of the swimmers? so excited to be here. can't lose your flippers. >> reporter: it was awesome. it was awesome. we are under the statue of liberty. how amazing?

something else? >> reporter: a lot of us to make a living of tracking the trends. when we elected to high office, we expect to do well. the problem with the economic system that launched a thousand price hikes, it picks winners and losers. you are a winner if you are with the unions coming in the green energy space, if you're a college graduate with debt, or politically connected to the biden family, but of course folks that are facing the brunt of the economic pain are those in the working class to have a big chunk of the working class. we are reacting to the economic pain we are seeing. rachel: the economy is the number one issue. hispanic poll numbers go up as trump, when there's an indictment, it is not shocking

to latinos to see the political power, that is familiar to us. >> in latin america and mexico we lived the corruption with eyes wide open and we are seeing some of that where it's getting godey. after the fifth indictment on trump, this is political theater. it is in violation of donald trump's fourteenth amendment rights which is due process and equality under the bar. the supreme court in washington dc it says equal under the law. when you do selective justice, it is no justice at all. there is, i think, this is appalling go to the latino community and they are reacting viscerally to this corruption. rachel: democrats are working hard to pick who the republican presidential nominee, before we

move on to the next topic, nicholas madero, the dictator in venezuela, the most formidable opponent was a young charismatic mayor, leopold lopez from the mayor of caracas in prison, eventually put under house arrest and had to escape the country. latinos know what he was in prison for, a violent political protest, that put red flags up for hispanics. democrats are playing a dangerous game. let's move to the smithsonian latino museum. a lot of controversy, break down a little bit of that. >> the funding was passed because of center-right republican senators who were persuaded by it latinos, on the other side and other folks that they are going to operate in good faith to make sure we have

the latino museum, honor our diversity, make this all visible so they passed it but they didn't pass where they were going to locate the museum. the latino conservatives saw -- rachel: turned into a woke museum. >> the precursor is the exhibit. >> showing us all as victims. this is not representation but it is misrepresentation and pool funding. rachel: the board for the latino busy and looks like a celebrity list. >> the director of dnc financing as chairman and very partisan. rachel: always great talking to you. we look forward to paul numbers coming out.

just finished the first leg of the navy swim. let's check with him and charlie. >> reporter: look who i found. pete hegseth completed the first leg. pete: god bless the navy seals. >> reporter: first question, how long did will finished? >> 20 minutes or so. did all his push-ups. we were stuck behind the statue of liberty and i thought i was going to die and this guy saved me. around the back end, could see her friend, beautiful. >> reporter: how much motivation for the next two? pete: i will do some pull ups and push-ups. i would pop out of the water after a way of came over. did you hear? where are you? and never find it, lifted by
