♪ will: we start this morning off with a fox news alert, the u.s. and u.k. carrying out a new wave of airstrikes yesterday, this time targeting sites in yemen occupied by the iranian-linked houthi rebels. pete: the pentagon confirming strikes on at least 36 targets and more than a dozen different sites including weapon facilities, missile launchers and air defense systems. that's what we're today. while the british with military says it struck a ground control station near yemen's capital. rachel: the u.s. and coalition forces are putting out a joint statement saying we will not hesitate to continue to defend lives and commerce in one of the world's most critical waterways in the face of continued threats. will: meanwhile, the houthis are vowing to respond saying, quote,

the american-british aggression with against yemen will not go unanswered, and we will meters calculation wees calculation. pete: the strikes in yemen come as dozens of targets in syria and iraq were struck the day before in response to the repeated attacks on american troops in the region over the past few months and, of course, the death of three american soldiers. good morning and welcome to "fox & friends," 6 a.m. on saturday, and we wake up to more strikes, more a airstrikes. we're talking about air e strieks yesterday and now more against the houthi rebels. and as we with wake up and look at "the new york post," they point out something i think we have all been thinking about here this morning and articulate. this is michael goodwin in an op-ed that's entitled joe biden is playing with fire in the middle east and risking world war iii. this is what he wrote with. by saying preetedly he's trying to avoid a wider war, the president is sending a message that has deterred him from directly punishishing its

aggressions. it's a form of appeasement that will end the way appeasement all the always does. million that changes, iran has no -- can until that changes, iran has no reason to stop. guys, it does feel like escalation in search of deescalation or deterrence. we just keep shooting, and i said it this morning, we're told it hit because i don't know, we can't confirm for you this morning what buildings were hit, how many were hit. this is what the pentagon is telling us and we're at some level having to trust their numbers on it. but what happens next, we have no idea. rachel: right. i think a lot of this is being colored by the fact that we're in an election year, right? and i was looking, you know, not to get off the a subject because this is so important, but i was looking at the economic numbers and some articles about the latest jobs report, and they were saying joe biden is doing a lot of things now in order to have, look better in time for the election, but those things that he's doing economicically are going to come, and it's

going to rain h-e-l-l on us, after the election it's going to be hard to clean up messes he's made economically. i think the same is happening here. we don't know how much of what he's doing or not doing is what's right for america, what's right for global stability and how much of this is about appeasing different groups and maybe even barack obama who's running a lot of things out of his mansion in d.c. we don't know what's going if on. and i think that's what's so -- people have just become so cynical that they go, i don't even want us to be in the middle east anymore because i don't know what we're doing. i don't understand it. will: well, i think that level of, that level of fatigue is certainly understandable. i think there needs to be an entire reset of the mindset of how we approach international relations specific create in the if middle east because i see a bipartisan consensus that's achieved not much more than failure for decades. also your cynicism is well

earned, rachel. i mean, an administration that is failing on almost ever front including its ability to get reelected will look for something, and historically war has been a plus for the incumbent. we mentioned yesterday with, pier, i think it was off camera you talked about the rally around the flag effect. i'm pretty doubtful this time -- pete: i don't think it will this time. rachel: me too. will wisconsin i'm pretty doubtful that war is going to work. i mean, i i don't think america is hungry for a war. pete: if there's one thing i can take this administration if at face value a little bit here is i don't think they want to be entangled in this either. they've unleashed this, a lot of it because of the iran deal they've approached and the strengthening economically and militarily of the iranian regime which has its e designs on that region, and so now they're stuck bombing buildings hoping the enemy will back down and the. enemy's not going to back down. so what happens next? that's how you get dragged into

something you don't want to be a part of. rachel: and when you're in a war, pete, you can speak to this better than anybody if else, part of the strategy or part of the way to win the war is, you know, weapons and war plans and all this strategy, but another part of it is what happens at home. like, do the people at home support this. and is there there support for the military and people making these decisions. i saw a quote yesterday from elon musk who said we're running out of conspiracies that have come true, right? and that speaks to the kind of fatigue that that we have with our leaders and the fact that we don't trust them. and and that lack of trust that's been, i think, on overdrive since covid e and really sort of awakened a lot of people is going to play into whatever happens here. nobody trusts anybody. pete: that's the word. the war in yemen and iraq and syria brought to you by the guy who botched afghanistan, brought to you by the guy who couldn't

prevent ukraine, brought to you by the buy who was -- guy who was awall on his -- aa awol on his medical treatment for weeks. that trust is broken. will: former trump administration official mike gill has said -- is dead, five days after he was shot in washington last week. rachel: the suspect was killed in a shoot had theout with the police later that night after another deadly car theft. so he killed that guy with, went off to do another crime. pete: madeleine rivera's live from washington with the latest. >> reporter: good morning, guys. mike gill's wife breaking the news first to fox 5 d.c. saturday saying in a statement, his sudden departure has a left a void in our lives that can never be filled. in this time of grief, we have grateful for the outpouring of love and support from family, friends and the community. gill served as the chief of staff at the commodity futures trading commission during the trump administration. former cftc chairman christopher

joran carlo says his life reflects everything that is good, right and true. words cannot, press the tragedy of the loss of this fine man, colleague and which arished friend. he will be sorely missed and long remembered. gill was the first victim of that carjacking spree in d.c. on monday. he had been sitting in his car on k street when a suspect got insideif shot him. authorities identified that suspect as 28-year-old artel cunningham that. investigators say he tried to car jack another person a little more than an hour later and fade. ten minutes after that, he went to a third car, shot a second man, then took off of in that car. that victim, 35-year-old alberto vazquez jr., later died from his injuries. husband father spoke with "fox & friends" first. >> one, i can't say -- he was

lovable, very approach bl. t just, it's just going to take some time for all of us to get our family back together. >> reporter: police say authorities in new carrollton, maryland, shot and killed cunningham early tuesday after he tried to -- [inaudible] if while armed. violent crimes and car jackings are surging in d.c., the number of homicides rose 35% last year, four month ifs after henry cuellar was car jacking -- carjacked near if his home. will with, pete and rachel. rachel: thank you so much. pete: thank you. by the way, the location of where where mike gill was shot, k street northwest in d.c. if you know washington, d.c., that's traditionally a very nice part of washington. rachel: yeah. it's a business district. pete: it's, like, three blocks, depending on where with you are, from the white house. s it is -- k street is famously

known as the street where a lot of lobbyists have offices. there's fancy restaurants. this is not a bad part of d.c. rachel: right. pete: that's the question, will, is this a good part of -- will: i saw a list of the top ten most deadly cities in america, six were in mexico, northern mexico, the other four, i think, were in the united states. rachel: that's great. this is our capital. should be a source of pride if for us, that, you know, and this is the place where -- like you said is, it's very close to the capitol. families come to visit. it's our nation's capital, we should have pride p. but again, just like here in new york city, you have to blame the citizens who vote in the people who allow these policies to destroy the city. will: speaking of new york city and elected officials, manhattan district attorney alvin bragg's got a statement in regard to the charges for the if illegal immigrants who i attacked two new york city police officers. bragg said this yesterday, he

said, it is clear from video that some of the most culpable individuals have not yet been identified or arrested. we are working hand and hand with the nyp if d to find and hold them accountable for their despicable acts, preparing to present charges on the grand jury -- to the grand jury on tuesday and will update the public as soon as legally permissible. we will not rest until every person who assaulted a police officer in this awful attack is held accountable. pete: i mean, will, when i hear you read that, we will not rest -- rachel: sure. pete: -- except we've released at least a fraction of the people. if they're saying, hey, we pulled in a couple of guys and maybe they weren't in the video, we don't know, i don't believe that garbage statement that he made. but if at least a couple of them are identified from the video and you let them go, are you really not -- are you really not resting? rachel: no. pete: of course not. rachel: it's an abuse of the whole bail system. the way bail is set up is that you're supposed to have ties to

the community, and if then these people have no ties to the community. daniel penny was from long island. what'd they get, $100,000 he had to put up before they let him out? one of them had -- i mean, four of them are gone, they're in california. will: you know, a police department can revolt against a police chief, can revolt against a prosecutor, and often you hear about disgruntled police officers when it comes to not prosecuting the crimes that a these guys are in charge of arresting. it makes their jobs feel worthless. when one of their own or several of their own are attacked and nothing much happens in the entirety, you run risk, like, of losing the entire department. look at some of these quotes from nypd. this is from a detective with, i believe, yeah, more than two decades of service. he said to the post or alvin bragg just showed all new yorkers that the police department doesn't matter to him. this opens the window for all people to say we can beat up cops and nothing's going to happen to us. thanks, mr. bragg.

here's another cop with 25 years on the job, we talk about it all the time, we're a catch and is release city. this is a complete joke. we put bad people behind bars to keep the community safe, and they keep on letting them out. i really don't understand what their agenda is. and i don't know if the producers have this available, but i did text the producers this morning, i wanted to show where the priorities do lie. and alvin bragg, you know, has been prosecuting vaccine card -- rachel: fake vaccine cards. will: yeah, forgers under felony laws, and he was rebuked by new york state supreme court justices like, this? if this is? -- this is what you're doing? pete: i didn't see that. rachel: yeah. people who might want to pretend they had the vaccine because they don't want to take it but want to go to work or wanted to take a plane or whatever they were not allowed to do because they didn't have the vaccine. that's the priority. but again, i liked what that guy said. he goes, i don't understand

their agenda, because if you're looking at this, the priority is on putting people behind bars who are in some way opposed to your agenda whether it's daniel penny or the people with the vaccine cards, and meanwhile people who don't even belong in our country are set free to then go and lee to california to get more money. by the way, it turns out that many of these -- some of these people here were going to florida to spend the money. others are saying that they were stealing some of the cops have come out and said these guys were stealing phones and then using apple pay and then using that money to buy things like pools and houses in their home countries. these are bad people. pete: yeah. you accurately described the agenda of what happens in the justice system when the left take charge of it and

politicizes it. also in a civilized society, if you attack law enforcement, you get the book thrown at you. that is the, the line of what you cannot do in order for them to maintain their authority, to maintain law and order. catch and release is so demoralizing. we dealt with it in the military context. there's nothing worse than risking your life to roll somebody up and then three days later they're back on the street? what are we doing here? all right, let's turn to a few additional headlines starting with this. joe biden's making his way to las vegas today after -- [laughter] he won the south carolina democrat presidential primary. it was tough. [laughter] rachel: chavez style, you don't have any competition. will: he's going to vegas but not for the super bowl. and he's not going to do a super bowl interview again. pete: interesting. that's also a cuba-like -- rachel: these are cuban.

pete: biden capturing 96% of the vote while marianne williamson received 2 and congressman dean phillips took 1.7. will: last year he didn't do an interview because the super bowl with was hosted by fox. cbs this year. pete: yeah. what's the reason this year? will: worried about that grilling from cb, and. -- cbs. [laughter] pete: it's true. we're set to get our first look at the border bill from the if senate as the text is expected to come out soon after a deal was reached friday. meanwhile, speaker johnson revealing congress will vote on a new stand-alone bill to provide funding to israel next week. he blast ared the nat for not moving quickly enough saying the senate will no longer have excuses however misguided against swift passage of this critical support for our ally. and my son will be happy, denny hamlin taking home the exhibition win at the clash at

the coliseum last night in los angeles. nascar moving the race -- oh, i'm confused, because i thought it was today. nascar moving the race up a day early to avoid the pineapple express storm set to hit southern california today. this is hamlin's fourth clash win. i would have watched that yesterday, i didn't know with. will: it's a cool pairing of words, pineapple expression. -- express. but we're over, you know, we've got the afghanistan private lift, we've go99 the movie, a lot of things or that are pineapple express, so now when someone -- i don't know what they're referring to. pete: a weather event? rachel: they're going to get as much rain, our weather guys talk about it, but as much rain in, like, 4 days as they would normally get in 6 months. pete: and that's called a peen apple express? will: i think we called it a pineapple express. pete: we also learned about a atmospheric rivers yesterday. are those tied together?

will: sounds like you're up for a geography guess. [laughter] pete: a meteorologist quiz today. rachel: we'll have to ask rick are about that. still ahead, governor with greg with abbott's actions to secure the texas border seem to be working as other states report more apprehensions than the lone star state. an arizona sheriff is going to join us next with what he's seen on the ground. and he's going to need a bigger boat. a florida fisherman reels in a 1200-pound, 12-foot gate white shark. that amazing catch coming up. ♪ take on me, take on me. ♪ take me on. ♪ if. ♪

u.s. senate candidate mark lamb. sheriff lamb, let's talk about these numbers, let's talk about the shift. why? why is the focus of illegal immigration moving from texas to arizona and california? >> look, the cartels are a business. they're always going to push towards the path of least resistance. and so if texas is putting up resistance, you're going to see more flow towards arizona. plus, people are watching the news too, even the people that are trying to come here illegally. if they think arizona's a better opportunity, that's where they're going to go. that's why we've seen a 30% increase over the last few weeks down in the tucson sector alone. will: let's take a look, this is back in texas, eagle pass apprehensions in december, 71,000. in january, down to 16,000. that's, there's your 76% drop in one month. so, sheriff, tell me, is it simply if like squeezing a balloon? is it, you know, you get a little bit of enforcement in texas, and the car until shifts to arizona and california, or is it actually a different flow?

do you get a different illegal immigrant out west than you would, say, in texas? >> yeah. in the tucson sector, we're going to typically get those people trying to avoid detection. the majority of what we get in tucson sector are people dressed in camouflage clothes, people that the cartels are trying the keep from law enforcement finding. we also get the flow of people from africa and syria with and china and those people come over and claim false asylum, make false asylum claims. but that's why tucson sector also leads the way in gotaways, because we do have that piece of people that are coming with the border patrol trying to avoid detection by border patrol and by us. will: whereas in texas it was more typifieded by what type of legal immigration -- >> right. that's right. will: no, what type is it? >> yeah, you're going to get a little bit of everything, but you're going to get the people coming over saying, hey, look, i'm going to claim asylum. what that's what we call

give-ups. people that are actually trying to get away, tucson sector always a leads the way in gotaways. will: what about in the style and path, not just who it is, but how it is they illegally immigrate? and i mow you're speaking directly of tucson, we're also talking about growth in california. i've been with you. it's much more rural. it's mount nays if -- mountainous. what about tunnels and that type of situation versus what you would see in texas where it seems to be coming through ports of entry. >> yeah. your tunnels are going to be there closer to the cities like nogales, you're going to see those around there. you're going to see a lot more just rural crossings, out in the middle of nowhere. you know, i sent my son down to an area that was about an hour away from anything, and there was a full on camp. obviously, the ngos were there full force giving them water, food and a soft landing, spending our tax dollars on aiding and abetting this all legal activity but they were far

from anything, and they were all from sue i can, from africa -- sudan, africa, syria, middle eastern countries. so there's a lot more remotocrossings when you get out in arizona. it is very stuff terrain. look, we were just on concern we did three rescues yesterday alone. the majority of my helicopter fuel and all those things, the resources we use to help border patrol are extend pended on rescues out in the mountains. will: sheriff, far be it from me to pretend more familiar lu, but i'm going to say it, that's a good looking hat you've got on this morning.

state. officials in san diego are giving out sandbags to residents to prepare for winds as fast as a 80 miles an hour and up to 4 inches of rain. let's turn to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for our fox weather forecast. i lived out there for a while with, that a kind of rain in that short amount of time, you're talking mud slides like crazy. rick: and you went to pepperdine in malibu, and because of the mountains there, that is potentially going to cause significant flooding, could be some landslides with it. some of the areas that have burned over the last few years become exthe that susceptible to that. -- extra us pent ifing bl -- susceptible the that. really heavy rain across florida and severe weather. again, such an active pattern across the southeast. florida, one of the spots that's getting in on this. it's a pineapple express, it's the name we give it because all of this moisture is coming down from hawaii, funneling up across parts of the west coast.

we have very heavy rain across the northern part of california, buts it is about to get very intense across southern california. take a look at this flash flood threat. we have a flood threat, basically the entire state of california at this point. but notice this red, this is extreme flooding. this happens maybe once or twice a year. take a look exactly where this is, from santa barbara down through l.a. think about the amount of people that live here, maybe 10 inches of rain over the next couple of days, and that potentiallies has life-threatening impacts. so this storm needs to be taken seriously as cross parts of california. don't go in any place flooded and make sure you have a plan for what to do if those waters start to rise. will: reduction, while you've got your -- rick, while you've got your main, which one's catalina? are. rick: you got me for a second there.

here by special request from yesterday because when i look at the attacks that a led to the death of three americans in jordan, it got me thinking as someone who spent time on remote bases, we still have thousands of troops on remote bases across iraq and syria. the small bases i was with on never had anti-drone missile defense systems on them. it was before drones were an issue. do our -- what kind of anti-drone methods do our troops in far-flung places have, and do they work, brett? you know this stuff. >> yeah, they have quite a bit of systems out there that are all designed to create this bubble or lay yore of -- layer of defense around our bases but, frankly, it's not enough. and i don't think officials at the top of this administration have a clue what it really takes to stop these drone attacks or are putting in place the proper resources and funding into defense innovation required for counter-drone technology to stop future threats that are being faced. but other countries are. we see russia, iran behind the scenes pouring massive resources

into this, and it's showing up very quickly on the battlefield. we've got $500 drones destroying multimillion dollar tanks, yet the pentagon still pours these massive budgets into systems that can be rendered obsolete without truly understanding where future wars are going. how many times have i come on your show over the years and said the rapt proliferation of this technology is getting more and more difficult to stop? we've watched the rise of highly lethal drone technology develop together with your audience, and it's just going to continue because our bases clearly are not protected as the level -- at the level that they should be. all it takes is one to penetrate our defenses, and it can cause massive damage because of how strong these warheads inside these drones are. what i'm seeing take place in the drone community, i'm not sure that will truly ever be protected. our add very or shares are -- adversaries are moving at a pace that i've never seen before. and with each strike, they

adapt, they get better and better, and it's extremely danger going forward. pete: we're going to put on the screen how, the types -- the ways in which krones are detected and ways in which drones are interdicted. we don't have time for you to talk through all these, brett. i know you know them, but there's different ways to see drones coming and intercept them. a netting system seems pretty rudemently, but then you ultimately have to hit a bullet with a bullet, you've got to shoot at it. but when i think of these remote bases, a lot of them are big, they probably don't have these sophisticated systems, and if they did, could it a handle a half dozen, a dozen, two dozen, $500 drones to your point with explosives attached to them? are we at a moment where the american public doesn't realize that troops on foreign bases just can't be protected? i mean, when i was on a foreign base, we counted on the fact that enemies shot mortars or rockets using, like, kentucky

windage and so they weren't very accurate, and we could clear areas around the base to prevent them from having those lines of sight. but that's not the case with drones. you can fly them from miles and miles away, potentially, and hit a very accurate target. so you've already said it, but it feels like we're at a turning point here where we can't count on our troops being safe on foreign bases. >> right. i mean, it's all about early warning systems. i think one of the latest innovations that is really interesting is these acoustic detection, right? being able to hear the sound of a drone and being able to identify that a drone and triangulate it. again, we're no with near where we need to be. let's take ukraine, for example, i'll be back in ukraine very is soon. the last time i was there, we had a wave of iranian drone attacks for hours that were fired by the russians. and i would argue that the capital of ukraine, kyiv, right now is one of the most protected cities in the world when it comes to these types of air defenses. they have u.s. patriot missile

batteries, german anti-rocket defenses, some of the most advanced counter-drone systems on the market yet one early morning i watched an iranian drone penetrate it that defense bubble and fly if right over me head in the capital and proceed to strike a strategic military target inside ukraine. so even with all those systems creating this protective bubble, we still have many of them getting true and -- through and causing massive damage. if ukraine can't even stop it with all of the technology donated from around the world, where are we? if. pete: exactly right. there will be a lot to learn from that conflict where this is being used firsthand as well. brett velicovich, come back and keep us posted. >> thanks. pete: all right. up next, a grieving mother who lost her daughter to cyberbullying reacts to mark zuckerberg's stunning apology on capitol hill. >> would you like to apologize for what you've done to these good people?

dude? dog food in the fridge? it's not dog food. it's freshpet. real meat. real veggies. real weird. he was bad luck anyway. will: this past week on capitol hill top tech ceos facing questions on the damaging effects of their platforms on the country's youth. senator josh hawley calling the meta ceo, mark zuckerberg, to face the families who lost loved ones and apologize to them. [applause] >> [inaudible] the things that your families have suffered, and this is why

we invested so much and -- [inaudible] efforts to make sure that no one has to go through the types of things that your families have had to suffer. rachel: our next guest, our next guest was there sitting right behind mark zuckerberg. she lost her 14-year-old daughter grace to suicide in 2012 after becoming a victim of sexual exploitation from cyber bullying on twitter. pete: christine mccombs joins us now. thank you for being here. you were right there. dud you think -- did you accept the apology from mark zuckerberg? what did you think? >> well, it wasn't a matter of accepting because i don't think it was, it wasn't organic, it was the forced. it wasn't poland or anything like that -- planned or anything like that. you know, it was surreal to be there at all, but really the story isn't his apology. the story is that kids are at

risk. american kids need protection from different ways that social media platformses are operating, and the kids' online safety act, this was grace, the kids' online safety act must pass. it's been 12 years that i've been speaking out on what happened to my daughter, and maybe back then we didn't know because it was so is new, social media. but today we know. and kids are guy -- dying from all kinds of social media marms that -- harms that they didn't even necessarily go looking for, but that were fed to them. and the kids' online safety act will put up guardrails. will: christine, can you tell us a little bit about what happened to your daughter? >> well, there was a drug-assisted sexual assault is, but it was followed by intense cyberbullying which i don't with even call it cyberbullying anymore, it is child abuse. and a lot of the things that

happened to kids online now, the negative things, are a sort of child abuse. and things like this, the tweets that she saw or heard were things like snitches should have their fingers cut off one by one while they watch their families burn. i hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate you. i hope you see this. cry yourself to sleep, then wake up and kill yourself, you might as well. you're a lose i piece of -- and these were things aimed at a child. she was 14. and i do want to make clear to your viewers that you don't have to be on social media to be harmed by it. she never had a smartphone. she never had twitter. i didn't even know what it was at the time. but there are many things happening online and in -- i know lots of mothers who have lost children to different online harms. things need to change. they need to fix it. rachel: so, crust -- christine, she didn't have a phone, so you

were doing that part right. she doesn't have a phone. you reached out to the courts, you reached out to the police, you reached out to the school. so all of that happened. if she didn't have a phone, how did she know this was happening? was it through her friends that had it and she was getting the information? and part two, and i hate to give you a part two question, how do you think the law that you're backing, grace's law, would have prevented what happened? >> well, let me say she did have a phone, but it was just a flip phone. back then smartphones were new. rachel: sure. >> and, i'm sorry, i'm losing -- rachel: that's okay. how did she find out about it? >> oh. well, you know, social media makes everything explode exponentially, you know in it's not like somebody sends you a message or somebody sending something nasty. it is, goes out blasted instantaneously to everyone you know. so those kinds of things are damaging. rachel: right. >> so the kids' online safety act will, you know, permit -- right now there's things like

the social media companies, a kid might go looking for healthy eating or exercise tips and end up being sent on a, the algorithms push content towards them, and they end up on this spiral and end up in rooms with people who are skeletal and think that they're heavy and, or dangerous online challenges are sent directly to a kid that says other kids like to see this, you might like to see this. and they don't realize that they are challenges like the choking challenge that can actually kill children. so it will make, it will stop those types of things, it will stop all of the collection of data that is then used to sell billions of dollars' worth of ads, you know? i think in 2022 social media platforms made $1 11 billion

with a b advertising to children on line. so they're constantly collecting data. they want you to stay online as a long as a you can. but this would make things like a turnoff geolower case. they turn the off finish geolocation. they turn off adults being able to contact children, you know, strangers, predators from being able to contact children. just common sense things that need to happen. rachel: yeah. well, mark zuckerberg said there's no connection between social media and mental health. we know that's not true. that's what he said in that hearing. so i understand why you're still so frustrated. we really admire your efforts to put this law forward and sort of make some sense out of what happened, at least try and protect other people and other children. so thank you for joining us. pete: thank you, christine. rachel: god bless you. >> thank you. will: more "fox & friends" coming up next.

rachel: florida lawmakers are looking to ban the cultivation and sale of lab grown meats within the state. florida state the representative danny alvarez introduced the bill, and he joins us now. okay, danny, boy, this is an important topic, and i'm really glad that you're covering this and doing something about it.

who's behind this? i'm imagine ifing it's bill gates, right in. >> rachel, i don't know who's behind it, to be honest with you, and thank you for having me. but i don't care who's behind it, because we put floridians first. the fda a doesn't have a great track record of approving things and and later finding out, oh, man, maybe we should have slowed down a little bit with. we are going to make sure floridians are safe, and we're going to give it a shot, somebody else can try it. we'll let california -- [laughter] rachel: yeah. it looks so gross, and, yeah, it is -- bill gates is behind the investment in lab grown meat and, you know, he's no beacon of health, if you take a look at him. so why are they pushing this? i mean, we have plenty of cattle in america. if anything, we should work on making the beef that we have healthier, you know, make it access to brass-fed if meat -- grass-fed meat easier, get the antibiotics out of meat p. why are we moving in direction? >> rachel, you're totally on

point right there. when i mean on point, you're fantastic. florida is one of the greatest beef producers there are. our beef supply is the safest it's ever been. it is really, really important that we understand that. florida can provide all the protein it needs for floridians and, in fact, we are one of the 13 ifth largest in the country, and that means in the world. so we've got our beef production safe and sound. we don't need lab grown meat, quote-unquote. until we figure out what's in it and what it does to the human dna, hen maybe we'll introduce it. i can foresee this coming to florida after we put a halt on it, i could see it coming back. i could see it being introduced. but in the meantime, let's figure out what it does and how it does to the body, and then we can introduce it. but why risk it when we have plenty of good, clean protein in america? rachel: and men met -- and when met bollically so many americans are getting fat and sick, and we know it's because there are so many things that are going into

our body that are not natural this just -- i'm really worried because while you're on the ball in florida, there are other states that aren't are. and you have very powerful forces that want the lab grown meat. i think it's important for our viewers to know that, you know, the climate cultists are pushing this because they say that cows and, you know, methane and you have that and then you have all these corporate interests and big oligarchs like bill gates who are impacting this. so how are you going to fight these forces, and are there other states that are, you know, jumping onboard and paying attention to what you're doing? >> rachel, we're going to do what florida always a does, and we're going to lead with freedom first. we understand that the free market comes in, it's going to do what it's going to do. we love that and protect that, but we also have a duty to protect our citizens. and we think that after this rest of the country is going to follow suit. rachel: thank you. more "fox & friends" next. st? why can't they use my backyard!!
