00:00 >> Aisha Hasni joins us live from Capitol Hill with the latest.
00:03 Good morning, Aisha.
00:04 >> Hey, good morning to you guys, that's right.
00:07 So House Republicans say they will have votes today, but at this point, we don't know when
00:12 and we don't know what they're voting on.
00:14 And I don't think they know either.
00:16 They're going to get together at about 9.30, the entire conference, and talk it out after
00:21 a pretty rough Friday afternoon.
00:23 So yesterday, we saw 21 House Republicans here taking down Speaker McCarthy's attempt
00:29 to pass a one-month stopgap bill that included cuts in spending and border security measures,
00:35 things that a lot of these folks wanted.
00:37 And after huddling with his conference after this vote went down, it appears that we might
00:42 see McCarthy try to bring a two-week clean stopgap to the floor instead.
00:48 McCarthy is warning, though, that it has to be done without Ukraine funding for that to
00:52 work.
00:53 >> I think if we had a clean one without Ukraine on it, we could probably be able to move that
00:59 through.
01:00 I think if the Senate puts Ukraine on there and focuses Ukraine over America, I think
01:04 that could cause real problems.
01:06 >> The Senate is not listening to that, though.
01:09 They are moving ahead, taking a procedural vote later today on a 45-day clean stopgap
01:15 bill that would include Ukraine funding.
01:17 Meanwhile, over on the other side of Pennsylvania Avenue, guys, the White House saying the president
01:21 bears absolutely no responsibility for a shutdown.
01:24 And instead, they are laying the blame solely on conservatives.
01:29 >> As you all know, extreme House Republicans are solely to blame for marching us toward
01:36 a shutdown.
01:37 That is what we're seeing right now.
01:39 It is a basic fact.
01:42 >> And we are also watching some members here kind of get together and try to talk about
01:47 maybe a different move, a different process to put a clean bill on the House floor to
01:54 force a vote that would actually shelter Speaker McCarthy from having to ask Democrats to pitch
02:00 in.
02:01 We're watching that being worked out to see if that might be a backup plan.
02:04 I know you're having a couple of congressmen on today.
02:07 Dan Crenshaw and Morgan Luttrell are gonna be on today.
02:10 Maybe that's a question you asked them about a discharge petition.
02:14 That would be a very interesting game, a play here to try to protect Speaker McCarthy from
02:20 any sort of a vacancy vote.
02:23 >> Absolutely right.
02:25 >> Aisha, do you think that that is the strategy at this point?
02:28 There's just gonna be no for everything, so he has to go to Democrats and then they have
02:31 a reason to vacate him?
02:33 >> Well, you have enough Republicans right now that absolutely do not want to pass what
02:38 we call in Congress a continuing resolution, a stopgap bill.
02:42 Because they say that this is Nancy Pelosi's budget, we're just continuing it for one more
02:47 month or two more weeks or even seven more days.
02:50 They don't wanna touch that, they don't wanna vote on that.
02:52 So no matter what, it sounds like we are going to shut down.
02:56 The question will be, Joey, whether we shut down for a week, two weeks.
03:00 >> Six weeks.
03:01 >> When it becomes two weeks, it becomes a big problem, yeah.
03:03 So they really need to figure out if they're going to keep passing these appropriations
03:07 bills and then finally pass a budget, but that could be a while too.
03:11 So we're heading for a government shutdown.
03:14 >> Nysha, thank you so much for that.
03:17 So interesting McCarthy saying he's gonna consider taking Ukraine spending out of the
03:22 bill.
03:23 A lot of movement on this, so 101 Republicans voted for more money for Ukraine, but 117
03:34 voted against that.
03:35 So you're seeing movement, obviously, I think this is the feeling of their constituents
03:40 and they're getting pressure from their constituents.
03:42 And certainly the state of the economy is playing into it, whether it's inflation or
03:47 even what happened in Maui where people are seeing this stark contrast between what Congress
03:52 is willing to do and spend for Ukraine, a country far away, and what they're willing
03:57 to do for Americans.
03:58 And I think this is a major, major issue, Ukraine funding in the Republican Party.
04:05 You now have a majority of the majority saying no more money to Ukraine.
04:08 >> And there's gonna be so much fear mongering about this in the DC bubble is all a chatter
04:14 about it.
04:16 I just I lose interest on each one of these personally.
04:19 Personally, I'd love to see half the government shutdown anyway.
04:23 So and I know that sounds flippant, but they're gonna find ways to fund things that they really
04:30 need to fund.
04:32 And some belt tightening is long overdue.
04:34 And so fight it out, hold out.
04:36 >> One thing that is different about this one from the last one is last one they did
04:40 protect I believe the military.
04:41 I'm not sure what else continue to get paid.
04:43 That's not a part of it.
04:44 >> They're already destroying our military, Joey.
04:45 >> Yeah.
04:46 >> DEI garbage all over the place.
04:47 >> This is not- >> Standards are gone, all that.
04:49 I mean, it's one of those things where we used to have a trust in the government and
04:53 the system.
04:54 And so funding it was really important.
04:56 And what happens when you lose that trust?
04:58 >> I just saw- >> That's my frustration.
04:59 >> I don't care if our government goes unfunded.
05:04 But when you bring in voting groups like those in the military, I guarantee you, I know where
05:07 I was at at 24 years old in Marine Corps.
05:09 I didn't understand any of this stuff and I did not believe that my paycheck-
05:11 >> Just wanna make sure you get paid.
05:12 >> I did not believe my paycheck would stop.
05:14 If it did stop, I would be upset.
05:17 And the reason why I bring that up is when we talk about a government shutdown that no
05:21 one gets funded, there's a lot more groups of people that these individual congressmen
05:26 answer to.
05:27 What happens after that?
05:28 >> I know you're not gonna like this, Rachel.
05:30 >> Yeah.
05:31 >> But the first paycheck that should be stopped are members of Congress.
05:33 If you can't figure it out, cut it off, all of them.
05:36 And then you know what?
05:37 They'll figure it out real quick.
05:38 >> Yeah, no, I think you make a good point.
05:40 I think also that it's very disingenuous for the White House to say we have no part in
05:44 this.
05:45 The whole point of this is their big government spending.
05:46 That's why we're in this situation.
05:48 So if you're not willing to cut, then you're part of the problem.
05:52 And by the way, to your military point, how they're ruining the military, I just read
05:56 yesterday and I was gonna text it to you cuz I knew it was gonna just make you mad.
06:01 I saw that West Point now has a degree in diversity and equity.
06:05 Did you see that one?
06:06 >> Yeah, it's great.
06:07 >> Thank you.
06:08 >> To your point, shut her down.
06:10 >> Thank you, Austin and Millie.
06:11 There you go.
06:12 Speaking of crises, by the way, we're gonna head down to the southern border because that
06:15 is ongoing.
06:16 It's 10,000 a day at this point, and the consequences of humanitarian, national security are just
06:21 as prevalent today as they were when this all started.
06:24 But there's news now of an Arizona deputy who basically fell 15 feet while pursuing
06:30 an illegal immigrant injured.
06:33 And this is of course one day, this is video from April 5th, ultimately.
06:40 But here's Sheriff Daniels of, how do I pronounce it, Cochise County.
06:43 >> Cochise County, I just interviewed him in the last hour.
06:45 >> You interviewed him in the last hour and he's talking about what needs to be done at
06:48 the border.
06:52 >> This is ongoing every day.
06:54 It's not something we see once a week.
06:56 We see it every day.
06:57 My citizens are tired of it.
06:59 The state, my office, sheriffs, we're standing united, but where's the federal government?
07:03 They're absent to this.
07:05 They act like we don't have a problem and why every day that goes by, we see another
07:09 tragedy on the southwest border.
07:11 As elected sheriff, I take an oath of office, similar to what the President of the United
07:14 States takes, and that is to protect America.
07:17 I'm doing my job, our state's doing their job.
07:20 But where's the president, where's Secretary Mayorkas, and where's the majority of Congress
07:24 right now when it comes to securing this border?
07:27 The president made an intentional act to go walk the picket line.
07:31 Why don't you come walk our border line with the agents, the law enforcement are down here
07:35 doing everything they can to protect this country.
07:37 Walk our line too and support us.
07:40 >> Amen.
07:41 >> Yeah, absolutely.
07:42 Meanwhile, Elon Musk did something that our own president wouldn't do, which is go down
07:47 to the southern border and take a look.
07:50 And he did some live streaming and really shining a light on the problem there.
07:54 He was in Eagle Pass with Representative Gonzalez.
07:58 Here's what Representative Gonzalez said about why it mattered for him to come down there.
08:03 >> And we feel very abandoned.
08:05 That was the other part of bringing Elon down to Eagle Pass.
08:09 Not an easy place to get to.
08:11 And look, Griff Jenkins has done a great job covering it.
08:14 Fox does a great job of showing those images every single day.
08:18 But to bring someone outside, a problem solver, is what we need to highlight this.
08:23 It is as if a category five hurricane has hit Eagle Pass and the federal government
08:29 doesn't give them $1.
08:30 The city of Eagle Pass has gotten nothing to date.
08:33 Not one person that has come over illegally has been deported.
08:37 >> Yeah, you could just sense the frustration there.
08:43 And just I think you could see the gratitude he had for having, I mean, millions and millions
08:47 of Elon Musk's Twitter followers now getting information they wouldn't get unless they
08:51 were watching Fox News cuz the other channels are basically doing a blackout.
08:55 And the reason why they can't have the president come and the reason he doesn't come to the
08:59 border is because then the media follows him to the border and they don't want us to see
09:04 it.
09:05 So interesting how Elon Musk getting around the mainstream media.
09:08 All right, we're gonna turn now to your headlines.
09:11 The office of Dianne Feinstein confirming the longtime senator died from natural causes
09:16 very early yesterday morning in her DC home.
09:20 They say she passed away around 2 AM with her daughter Catherine by her side.
09:25 She was 90 years old.
09:27 All eyes are now on California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is under pressure to appoint a
09:32 new senator.
09:33 Newsom says he already has several names in mind.
09:37 A former superintendent in Loudoun County, Virginia, is found guilty of retaliation for
09:42 firing a special education teacher after that educator testified that a student groped her.
09:48 That misdemeanor charge is now part of a larger scandal, tying back to accusations that the
09:53 district covered up two sexual assault cases by a transgender student in a girls bathroom.
10:00 Ex-superintendent Scott Ziegler told the school board that the student did not exist, nor
10:04 did they have records of an assault.
10:07 He still faces a misdemeanor charge for that statement.
10:11 The UAW expanding its strike to two more assembly plants in Chicago and Lansing, Michigan, as
10:18 contract negotiations with Detroit's big three automakers drags on.
10:22 General Motors and Ford facing more walkouts, but there's no new action against Delantis
10:28 next thanks to momentum in contract talks.
10:31 Ford CEO Jim Farley says the UAW is holding the deal hostage over the construction of
10:37 electric vehicle battery plants.
10:40 Sean has been on the TV more than Jake at State Farm at this point, but I've never heard
10:46 him say once why he believes the UAW can be the competitive advantage to Ford.
10:53 Union President Sean Fain snapping back saying, "Like a good neighbor, we're available 24/7,"
10:59 referencing State Farm's corporate catchphrase.
11:03 And we here at Fox & Friends want to wish a very happy birthday to my daughter, Valentina.
11:07 She is now four years old.
11:09 Valentina Stella Morris is the youngest of my nine kids, and I can't wait to get home
11:13 and celebrate with her and my family.
11:15 So happy birthday, Valentina.
11:17 And those are your headlines.
11:19 Aw.
11:20 Pete and Joey.
11:21 Oh, she's beautiful.
11:22 I love it.
11:23 Thank you, Rachel.
11:24 Thanks, Rachel.
11:25 You got it.
11:26 It is called The Wall That Heals, and it's a traveling replica of the Vietnam War Memorial
11:30 in Washington, D.C.
11:31 Honoring the more than 58,000 American troops who lost their lives in that conflict.
11:36 And we have two pieces of the memorial here today, along with those who helped make it
11:40 happen.
11:41 Joining us now, U.S. Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel and New York Department of Veterans
11:46 Services Commissioner James Hendon, along with Tim Tetz, the site manager for the traveling
11:52 memorial, and Marine veteran -- I love my Marines standing right next to him -- Bess
11:56 McGowan, also a Vietnam veteran.
11:58 Welcome home.
11:59 Thank you, sir.
12:00 Tim, tell us about these panels.
12:02 So these are two panels for The Wall That Heals.
12:04 The Wall That Heals is a three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
12:08 We travel to over 30 stops each year.
12:11 We've retired these two panels previously, but we have all 146 panels of The Wall set
12:17 up down there in the park, ready for visitors to come down and see, or when we come to your
12:21 community.
12:22 So, James, they're coming here to New York City.
12:24 Where are they in the park?
12:25 And tell us about the significance of doing this.
12:27 So The Wall is currently in Flushing Meadows, out in Queens, and just behind the World Ice
12:32 Arena.
12:33 For us, the significance in this, as Tim said, you have 58,281 souls whose names are on this
12:38 wall.
12:39 From New York State, it's 4,119, and from New York City, it's 1,744.
12:44 So for me, Pete, when we brought this in, it was a way to welcome our brothers and sisters
12:49 home, as far as just accounting for those whom we've lost who came from this community.
12:53 Vince, you're a Vietnam veteran.
12:56 Tell us about your service and why The Wall matters to you.
12:59 Well, I spent two tours in Vietnam and four years in the Marine Corps, and never regretted
13:04 a moment of it.
13:06 I was a volunteer, as so many others were, and it was a war that we had conscripts and
13:11 we also had volunteers.
13:14 I had an experience in Vietnam that merited being written about and now taught classes
13:21 of how to do it.
13:22 I was a part of the original Hearts and Minds program.
13:25 The Captains.
13:26 The Captains, yeah.
13:27 Yeah.
13:28 I had the first one, and we successfully got control of our area and turned it back over
13:35 to a Democratic government.
13:38 I got back from Vietnam in the turmoil of 1968 when people were not interested.
13:48 We were literally insulted.
13:51 We were shunned.
13:53 People talk about being closed out in today's society, but back in the day, that was the
13:59 most hurtful thing that could happen.
14:01 It would be included that our American Legion, the VFW brothers and sisters, also did not
14:10 accept that Vietnam was an actual war.
14:13 They called it a conflict and then would argue that we didn't have the right.
14:18 But for us, for Vietnam veterans, and having the wall that has been brought to the city
14:23 thanks to the Commissioner, it helps us remember.
14:28 It makes the community remember all these men and women on there who gave so much.
14:34 We always have to remember that everybody gave some, but some gave all.
14:39 We want to remember this, that we want to honor the service.
14:43 As we honor the service, then we start to understand what it is that happened to us
14:47 all.
14:48 Absolutely.
14:49 Thanks for the opportunity.
14:50 Thank you.
14:51 We studied what you did in Afghanistan.
14:52 I know.
14:53 I appreciate it.
14:54 You guys-
14:55 I felt it was just the book that you were reading.
14:56 Absolutely.
14:57 I already know you, and you didn't know it.
14:58 I didn't know what you were doing.
14:59 Mr. Commissioner, thank you so much for bringing this here, sharing it with us, and Tim, for
15:04 everything you're doing.
15:05 Absolutely.
15:06 Thank you for the opportunity.
15:07 By the way, you can learn more about the wall that heals at nyc.gov/veterans and at vvmf.org.
15:16 Thank you, guys.
15:17 Thank you.
15:18 Appreciate it.
15:19 All right.
15:20 Rachel, take it up.
15:21 Great stuff, you guys.
15:22 Coming up, food for thought, a new study claiming plant-based meats are a critical tool for
15:28 fighting climate change.
15:30 It's dubbed a scam by a food industry insider.
15:33 This as we learn who funded this study.
15:36 That's next.
15:37 Plus, Rash Mountain, a Disney guest, is suing the House of Mouse that claims that a 50%
15:43 reduction in meat and milk consumption by 2050 will reduce greenhouse gases by 31%.
15:50 The study from the University of Vermont further argues, quote, plant-based meats are not just
15:54 a novel food product, but a critical opportunity for achieving food security and climate goals
16:00 while also achieving health and biodiversity objectives.
16:05 But it turns out one of the contributors behind that study is none other than lab meat producer
16:10 Impossible Foods, as you know, owned by Bill Gates and other celebrities.
16:15 Our next guest says this is just another industry-funded scam.
16:19 Joining me now is Callie Means, former Coca-Cola consultant and the co-founder of TrueMed.
16:25 So Callie, that's interesting.
16:27 The study that says we shouldn't eat animal-based diets and have meat funded by people who sell
16:33 fake meat.
16:35 Should I believe that?
16:37 Rachel, when are we going to stop falling for this?
16:42 Let's just back up here.
16:44 This fake meat is genetically modified pea protein smothered in glyphosate and other
16:50 neurotoxins that are banned in every other country in the world, and also for good measure
16:55 mixed with inflammatory canola oil.
16:57 Humans, on the other hand, have been eating meat since the dawn of humans.
17:02 And actually, amazingly, Rachel, there were more, as many cows and elk and bison in the
17:08 United States 200 years ago than there was today.
17:10 That number's been flat, but yet we're being told that the reason for our environmental
17:16 and health disasters that we're facing right now is because of meat.
17:21 And yeah, this is the playbook.
17:23 You have the NIH, as we've talked about, saying that Cheerios are healthier than organic quinoa.
17:30 You shamefully had the NIH jointly with food companies saying that a diet 91% in ultra-processed
17:35 food was actually healthy and nutritious.
17:38 And you recently had a group of conflicted Harvard doctors bashing a leading scientific
17:43 journal for questioning ultra-processed food.
17:45 Rachel, this is all an effort that I saw firsthand by the food industry to convince us that ultra-processed
17:51 food, which is much more profitable than natural food, is healthy.
17:54 And it's a bizarre world because the opposite is true.
17:57 We're getting sick and the environment's being destroyed because of our farming processes
18:01 that give us ultra-processed food.
18:03 Yeah, that's so—ultra-processed food is more profitable than natural good food that's
18:09 good for us.
18:11 You talk so much about the healing power of food and how the American diet is literally
18:17 killing us and killing our children in so many ways—childhood diabetes, etc.
18:23 You know, we just had a GOP debate here at Fox for Fox Business, Callie, and nobody talked
18:29 about big food and ultra-processed foods.
18:31 I know that RFK Jr. has talked about big food and the profit motive behind making us fatter
18:38 and sicker.
18:39 I know Donald Trump has stepped into this on some regard.
18:42 Talk to me about the missed opportunity during this election cycle to really take on this
18:48 issue.
18:49 As you've said, Rachel, this is the issue of our campaign, our children, our precious
18:55 children.
18:56 30 percent of them have prediabetes.
18:57 And I want to—yeah, I want to give credit.
18:59 RFK is pulling the highest favorabilities among women, among independents, among key
19:04 groups because he's hitting on this issue, because I think there's a lot of anxiety.
19:08 You look at any school, there's real anxiety.
19:11 There's real problems with kids.
19:12 I also want to give credit to President Trump.
19:15 He's made some incredible—some of the strongest statements any candidate's given on this issue.
19:20 But Rachel, I want to say one word, and it's regenerative farming.
19:23 We're being told that ultra-processed food, that monocropping is the way to cure the environment.
19:28 Actually, a cow raised in a natural way outside actually is carbon neutral.
19:34 It's our farming practices that are making a tomato right now 90 percent less nutrients
19:40 than a tomato grown in America 10 years ago.
19:43 We've got to get to our farming practices and get to food as the root of our health.
19:47 Oh, yeah.
19:48 And there is a war on farming and on ranchers and all these things that make us healthy.
19:53 We need to have a better food system here in America.
19:56 And you're really at the tip of the spear here in so many ways, Callie, raising attention
20:00 to the profit motives behind why we are fatter and sicker than ever in America.
20:04 Callie, thank you so much for joining us this morning.
20:07 Such an important topic.
20:09 Thank you.
20:10 All right.
20:11 We reached out to the studies—Fox Weather Alert.
20:14 Fox in hard-hit areas of New York City cleaning up this morning after yesterday's devastating
20:19 flash floods.
20:20 Heavy rain, submerging roads, forcing drivers to abandon their cars.
20:25 Dozens of flights canceled at LaGuardia Airport as water poured into Terminal A. I saw that
20:31 footage.
20:32 It looked like a third world country.
20:33 The flooding helped a sea lion escape from its enclosure at Central Park Zoo.
20:39 Chief meteorologist Rick Reikluth is here with the latest.
20:42 Rick.
20:43 Yeah.
20:44 And you know what?
20:45 The rain started again and I don't have an umbrella.
20:46 Go figure.
20:47 What?
20:48 I know.
20:49 I've got a raincoat.
20:50 I've got a weatherman umbrella in my office.
20:52 I'll bring it down.
20:53 I have it in my office, too.
20:54 I can't do it without it.
20:55 Yeah.
20:56 Not as heavy now, though, which is great news.
20:58 Just some light drizzle won't help—won't hurt anymore of the flooding.
21:02 And you're right.
21:03 LaGuardia Terminal A closed, completely flooded.
21:05 An incredible storm.
21:07 JFK, the wettest one-day rain total ever, which is pretty incredible.
21:13 Rain total over eight inches of rain.
21:16 This was some kind of tropical activity.
21:19 It was leftovers from what had been Ophelia last weekend.
21:23 Now we have about 28 percent of hurricane season still ahead of us.
21:26 So we are on that downhill slide, which is great news.
21:29 We still have some moisture from this storm.
21:31 Worst of it out towards Martha's Vineyard in Nantucket.
21:34 But some scattered showers are going to be with us throughout the day today across parts
21:37 of the Northeast.
21:38 It is out of here by tomorrow, Rachel, and we are going to be talking about a beautiful
21:42 week in the Northeast.
21:43 We desperately need it.
21:44 We've had such rough go of it the last around 10 days.
21:47 We're going to have temps into the upper 70s by the time we get towards Monday, and that's
21:51 going to be the case for much of this coming week.
21:53 All right, send it back to you inside.
21:54 That's some good news.
21:55 Thank you, Rick.
21:56 Thanks, Ray.
21:57 All right, well, the big noon kickoff is live in Boulder at 10 a.m. Eastern today as the
22:01 USC Trojans take on the underdog this week, Colorado Buffaloes on Fox.
22:07 Can coach Prime, that's Deion Sanders, lead his team to a week five victory?
22:11 We're going to go check in with Abby, and she's going to let us know.
22:14 What's going on, Abby?
22:15 Guys, what's going on?
22:16 I got to tell you, this is the first time in about 10 years I didn't drink a cup of
22:23 coffee because look at the energy here.
22:24 All right, how many games have you been to this year?
22:25 This is my first game, and I'm so excited to see Papa Prime.
22:26 Yeah.
22:27 Papa Prime, that's a new one.
22:28 Okay, I hear this is the three musketeers of electricity.
22:29 We're coming to folks to feel today.
22:30 USC is going to know what hit them today.
22:31 Coach Prime, we are going to have a great time.
22:32 We're going to have a great time.
22:33 We're going to have a great time.
22:34 We're going to have a great time.

23:41 We're going to have a great time.
23:42 We're going to have a great time.
23:43 We're going to have a great time.
23:44 We're going to have a great time.
23:46 Awesome, guys.
23:47 We will be with you here, bringing you the energy.
23:48 I hope you can feel it there in New York, because I feel a little bad for you that you're not
23:49 here right now.
23:50 Yeah, we're feeling it.
23:51 The crowd is bigger.
23:52 It seems like they're drinking more.
23:53 I don't know what's going on there.
23:54 That's not drinking.
23:55 That's college football, baby.
23:56 They're happy.
23:57 Thank you, Abby.
23:58 By the way, every answer seemed to be Coach Prime, so if you don't know who he is, go
23:59 to WhoIsDeonSanders on Fox Nation.
24:00 And if you don't know who he is, go to WhoIsDeonSanders on Fox Nation.
24:01 And if you don't know who he is, go to WhoIsDeonSanders on Fox Nation.
24:02 Fox Nation's got you covered.
24:16 The whole story of Deion Sanders, prime time, before he was Coach Prime.
24:21 They got it on Fox Nation.
24:22 There it is.
24:23 He was a baseball player, too.
24:26 He played pro in both sports.
24:28 Did he play--
24:29 He played for the Falcons and the Braves for a while.
24:31 The Braves, yeah.
24:32 He played for the Cowboys.
24:33 I don't know who else he played for baseball.
24:34 Looks like the Reds.
24:35 We had to get him out of Atlanta because he kept getting in trouble.
24:38 There you go.
24:39 All right, coming up, DeMar Hamlin expected to make his season debut for the first time
24:43 since his cardiac arrest.
24:44 Dr. Mark Siegel weighs in ahead.
24:46 Plus, the countdown is on.
24:48 A government shutdown looms over Washington.
24:50 You've got a lot going on.
24:51 Listen, Americans, they hear CR.
24:53 They hear stopgap.
24:54 They hear appropriations.
24:55 It's a lot to understand that there's a process here.
24:58 It's about funding the government.
24:59 The vote last night was a stopgap bill that was extremely conservative.
25:03 I believe Chip Roy and others in the Freedom Caucus helped write this very conservative
25:08 bill.
25:09 It failed with, I think, more than 20 members voting against it.
25:12 Where do you see this going from here?
25:15 We actually have a conference after this segment, Joey, that I'll be heading over to around
25:19 930 that we're going to start beating the brush again.
25:24 That's the nature of this beast.
25:25 We're going to jump back in the ring and see if we can figure this thing out.
25:29 I know your style is lead by example.
25:31 Put yourself there.
25:33 Speak from your experience.
25:34 You're a freshman member of Congress.
25:35 You come in.
25:36 It's been a pretty contentious Congress when it comes to picking your leadership, how you're
25:39 going to move forward, what the priorities are.
25:41 I know Ukraine funding is one thing that a lot of conservatives are upset about, as well
25:45 as what's going to happen at the border.
25:48 Are these the two issues that will decide where this goes?
25:52 I can't speak exactly to that.
25:54 Ukraine funding is big in the Republican Party for certain.
25:58 For me, the border is the number one issue in my district, obviously being from Texas.
26:03 I would say the absolute majority of the Republican Party, even my Democratic colleagues on the
26:10 other side, are taking an extremely hard look at the border.
26:14 We really want to address that issue.
26:16 You said from your district you're in Texas.
26:18 We've got another Texas congressman, Congressman Dan Crenshaw, joining us now.
26:22 Morgan and I were just talking about what issues are going to make or break this next
26:27 meeting you're about to have.
26:28 Can you give us some insight on where you think some of your colleagues are?
26:31 I think there are roughly two dozen that voted against this very conservative stopgap.
26:36 Is another stopgap next?
26:38 Is trying to do a CR?
26:39 What comes next?
26:42 When they took that down, we lost a lot of leverage.
26:44 The entire point of that CR, it's not really a CR, more of a stopgap that actually cut
26:50 non-defense by 30 percent and put our entire border security bill in there.
26:55 That was a really conservative bill that was actually just meant to start the conversation
26:59 with the Senate.
27:00 When they voted that down, we lost all that leverage.
27:02 Now we have to decide whether we're going to close down the government or not.
27:07 There's really no benefit to closing down the government, especially when you don't
27:10 even have a purpose to doing it.
27:14 Because of what they did, you're now more likely facing a clean CR that gives us time
27:18 to clean up those appropriations bills, have those fights, and get those across the finish
27:23 line.
27:24 We'll see what happens here in the next 24 hours.
27:26 I don't want to stoke fires of division, but do you see this as a play by certain members
27:31 of your party who are trying to get Kevin McCarthy to get Democrats to belly mount so
27:34 they can use that to vacate him?
27:37 That is not out of the question.
27:40 But it depends on who you're talking about.
27:41 I think everybody comes at it from a different angle.
27:43 Sure.
27:44 Well, listen, I believe what you guys are trying to do, the reason why I wanted to
27:47 have you two on today specifically, is that you both stood on the floor of Congress and
27:51 spoke for an amendment to a bill that could seem controversial, especially in certain
27:56 people that have certain reactions to certain words.
27:58 But what you did is you went on the floor, you brought an amendment, and it got passed.
28:01 This is to do research into therapies, plant-based therapies, to treat PTSD and other combat-related
28:07 injuries.
28:08 Morgan, I want to go to you on this.
28:09 What we're talking about is the use of psychedelics, plant-based substances that aren't legal or
28:14 aren't easily accessible in the country.
28:17 Veterans are even going out of country to do it, but the results are fantastic.
28:21 Congressman Luttrell.
28:22 Yeah, the results are groundbreaking.
28:25 And the research is growing and growing.
28:26 We're working on the longitudinal studies.
28:30 The biggest problems that we're having in the House of Representatives is explaining
28:33 and giving people a proper direction, taking them away from the word psychedelics.
28:37 I can use a multitude of different terminologies to describe these medications, but inevitably
28:43 it always circles back to that, which is unfortunate because it was taken advantage of back in
28:48 the '60s and the '70s.
28:49 And now in the research space, we see the advantages for, like you said, treating post-traumatic
28:55 stress, cognitive instabilities, cognitive disorders.
28:58 And the reason that we test it out on the floor is because it needs to be clinically
29:02 based.
29:03 I say clinically based research inside the DOD and in the veteran space.
29:07 We're not trying to downgrade these drugs.
29:08 We're not trying to take anything away from where they sit today.
29:11 We want this to be professionally done so we can decrease that number of 22 plus.
29:18 This transcends the veteran space.
29:19 This goes out to the American public.
29:21 This could actually go globally.
29:23 And this is a step in the right direction.
29:25 Congressman Crenshaw, I saw a video of both of you talking on the floor about this, and
29:28 I love what you had to say.
29:30 My question to you is, do you think anyone other than a couple of veterans could have
29:33 gotten the Republican Party to vote for this?
29:36 And what does that say about veterans coming to Congress?
29:40 Probably not.
29:41 I'd like to think that we bring a seriousness to the conversation.
29:45 These types of bills have come up before from other members, and they didn't get very far.
29:52 We bring it up because we have that experience with injured veterans.
29:55 I have a lot of very, very close friends who have gone through this therapy, and they're
29:58 coming out, and they're coming to Capitol Hill, and they're saying, "This saved my life.
30:02 This saved my marriage.
30:03 I want others to have access to this kind of treatment."
30:07 I've heard so many testimonies like that, and that changed me.
30:12 In the last couple of years, it was almost strange.
30:15 It was almost a God thing.
30:16 How many people in my life came to me and said, "Please help us with this," and it was
30:20 just the right thing to do?
30:21 I don't think there's a ton of opposition to this.
30:24 Some of the problems that we've encountered so far getting this through, I think have
30:27 been bureaucratic.
30:28 I think the bureaucracy doesn't want to deal with this because it's edgy.
30:31 It's difficult.
30:32 It makes them do work.
30:33 Okay?
30:34 So we're going to keep pushing it.
30:35 We've been very successful so far with a few hiccups.
30:38 We're talking to the Senate.
30:39 We want to make sure this makes it into the NDAA in conference and gets funded.
30:43 Hey, listen, Congressman Crenshaw, before I let you go, I respect your privacy.
30:46 I won't ask for any details, but I know you're a new dad.
30:49 I just want to tell you that from us here at Fox and Friends and from our viewers, congratulations.
30:52 It's the greatest thing, and you know this, we can do, is to create a human and love it.
30:56 So congratulations to you on that.
30:58 Thank you.
30:59 We're in love.
31:00 I know.
31:01 I know.
31:02 You and Congressman Luttrell both, listen, thank you both for joining us.
31:04 Thanks for taking time out of your day to talk to our viewers today before this big
31:07 meeting and good luck.
31:08 Thanks, Troy.
31:09 Thanks.
31:10 Take care, guys.
31:11 All right, still ahead, as New York City faces a surge in drug poisonings, critics are bashing
31:15 its health department for their latest so-called effort to combat it.
31:19 We'll show you what it is.
