charlie: good saturday morning and welcome to "fox & friends" weekend. so glad to have you all join with us and so glad to be here with you, lisa and and brian. lisa: great to be here. we're waking up. brian: i think we're awake. it felt like that last five minutes there was plenty -- charlie was giving us his lesso- lisa: he just got new glasses, so we were asking how many fingers am i holding up -- charlie: if they con you into getting bifocals, you actually have to grown head -- brian: it's very upsetting. rees least we feel like you're paying attention to us -- charlie: i like to look directly at people, so i'm still doing this so i don't look through -- lisa: you look very studious. brian: it's kind of a judgy look. lisa: we feel like you're look down on us. brian: we can do this. lisa: okay, we're on tv.

if. charlie: let's get to some news. illegal immigrant and alleged ms-13 gang member kilmar abrego garcia is back on united states soil this morning. lisa: that's right. he's now facing criminal charges in tennessee for allegedly trafficking illegal migrants, and officials say many of the people he smuggled in are part of ms-13. brian: chanley painter is here with more. >> reporter: good morning. abrego garcia appeared in a tennessee courtroom yesterday just hours after he was brought back to the u.s. to face federal charges for human smuggling and conspiracy. attorney general pam bondi saying the 29-year-old illegal migrant played a, quote, significant role in a smuggling ring for nearly a decade. >> he was a smuggler of humans and children and women. he made over a hundred trips. the defendant abused undocumented alien females according to co-conspirators.

this defendant trafficked firearms and narcotics. a co-conspirator also alleges the defendant played a murder in the role of a rival gang member's mother. >> reporter: he was deported in march. soon after democrats jumped to advocate for him as an innocent maryland man wrongly deported. >> it's a disaster. he's a whole disaster. when you look at him with his antics, not good. for the democrats who have backed him, this was not the man for -- from maryland, this wonderful father from maryland. this is a pretty bad guy. >> reporter: senator chris van hollen, who flew to el salvador to meet with abrego garcia, had this reaction. >> i will never apologize for defending the constitution. in fact, it's the trump administration and all his cronies who should apologize to the country for i putting us through this unnecessary

situation and to abrego garcia for putting him through the situation and his family. >> reporter: abrego garcia faces two counts of felony unlawful transport of illegal aliens for financial gain and faces up to 10 years in prison for each person he transported. he's back in court on june 13th. guys? brian: thanks, chanley. charlie: you know, it's like democrats are, like, there are certain guys that always pick the worst girlfriends -- [laughter] for women who always pick the worst boyfriends. they pick the worst poster people to represent their issues. brian: well, partly it's because the media kind of creates the poster for them, you know what i mean? [laughter] oh, this is a great guy. you look at how the media frames abrego garcia, and it's not gang member, you know? it's this is the maryland dad, right? the wrongly deported guy. they've got all these sayings.

so if you're picking the girlfriend or the boyfriend, you're kind of following your friends in the media who are telling you, no, put on your beer goggles. this is really a great guy, and you ought to love him. lisa: you look at the headlines here, yeah, your friendly maryland dad from el salvador -- [laughter] who allegedly beat his wife, who allegedly is part of ms-13, who allegedly has been has been a human trafficker for over a hundred trips that he's taken a part of, you know, women, children as well as other ms-13 gang members who also allegedly took part in the killing of a rival gang member's mother mother el salvador which is why he's afraid to go back which makes sense. also allegedly tried to access child por pornography. so, yeah, just your friendly maryland dad, this is the poster child for virtue? in america, i guess, charlie? right in. [laughter] charlie: and if you're thinking

about going out on a date, if the guy is caught smuggling a bunch of people and no luggage, that's probably, that should be a red flag, i would think. brian: well, the guys who pulled him over figured it out right away, the police officers. yeah, this doesn't check out, let's dig into this further. so you've got -- they're doing this with abrego garcia, but as greg gutfeld pointed out on his show last night, this is a path -- there are so many people around the globe in america where the left looks at them and says we're going to turn -- we're going to try to turn them into a hero, and we hope you might believe us. listen to this. >> it's the demand that the media and the democrats have for us to accept their narrative. they did this with george floyd. they did this with michael avenatti. they did this with jussie smollett. they did this with bm or d been lm. they did this with owe biden.

every narrative that they feed us is horribly wrong. either they're a boor judge of character or don't -- poor judge of character or they don't give an f whether they're telling the truth or not. brian: their character is not interesting for them. what's interesting is the ideology, and if this person can fit their ideology of the pressed or the oppressor or the grieve, whatever, they're going to fit that person into the poster of who they want you to belief in. -- believe in. lisa: they did this with jacob lake as well, do you remember that in a guy who pulled a knife on police officers who was showing up at a woman's house to restrictize us, and what did kamala harris tell us? -- revicinityize her. -- restrictize her. george floyd, you know, they put up statues of him. it feels like, charlie, we're living in some sort of upside down world.

charlie: it does. and it's true, it really is, it's because they're driven by ideology over reality. you're going to wind up with real problems. and then meanwhile, you have, you know, the trump administration coming in and trying to be the adult in the room and try to actually fix the situation and actually start applying the laws as they are written and as they are intended out in l.a. and, of course, that winds up being this horrifying clash between their ideology and the rule of law and the need to actually enforce the laws. you have rioters out there clashing with members of i.c.e. who are trying to do their job, who are trying to carry out the orders as laid out in laws, duly passed by congress. brian: yeah, this is -- okay. so you talk about rule of law -- charlie: yeah. brian: this -- these are the people who with want the to talk about rule of law for abrego

garcia, and then went i.c.e., federal agents show up lawfully to detain someone, this is the way they respond. and, you know, you can't even make up the responses from california's elected officials, karen bass. we are going to fight for all angelenos, she says, regardless of when they got here, whether they have papers or not. we're a city of immigrants, and this impacts hundreds of thousands of angelenos. and then of course your favorite, lisa -- lisa: newscum. brian: gavin newsom, as they say. donald trump is tearing families apart and undermining the workers and industries that power america's economy. that's even kind of far for him, i would say. lisa: democrats don't believe in the rule of law. they believe in the rule of power. and when they talk about these individuals like kilmar garcia and they talk about him and the fact that he is a constituent, he is in their minds. this is their new constituency.

that's what they did, they imimportant -- imported -- they allowed millions of illegal aliens to change the apportionment for congress and the electoral college, and we've heard it from people like congresswoman yvette clark. she said i need more migrants for redistricting purposes. i'm paraphrasing, but that was the essence of what she said. when they talk about these individuals as if they're the constituents, they are in their minds. that's what they want. charlie: right. and christy the nome urges california -- kristi noem urges california leaders to stop the violence. watch this. >> right now rioters are assaulting law enforcement officers. they're slashing tires and defacing buildings. over 800 protesters have surrounded and breached the first layer of a federal lawsuit building in l.a. governor newsom, mayor bass, you have to call an end to this violence. this rhetoric against our politicians and against our law enforcement officers has gone way too far, and it must end.

charlie: and she will be joining us later in the 8 a.m. hour. but it really is interesting to look at this situation because you watch that footage, and, you know, we think that this is proof that common sense, the common sense agenda driven by president trump is going to be what more and more people will sort of come around to when they see images like this. but, you know, politically speaking for somebody like karen bass or gavin newsom, it is sort of a catch 3222 because -- catch 232 because they realize they've created this constituency by allowing them to fester like this. catch 22. and it's now become this thing where if they want to win nominations in the democrat primary, they're going to have to put up with this stuff. brian: right. charlie: they can't crack down on it, because they won't even make it to the general election. brian: well, and doesn't it tell you, i mean, if democrats end up in national office again at some point, this is what -- you're

not, it's not going to be like, well, trump has proven this right, so they're going to go along with -- they're going all the way back. charlie: right. brian: brian they're telling you right here they're going to go back to that open borders policy in a heartbeat because it's the heartbeat of their party. lisa: it's like when all the democrats in the primary in 2020 were asked about giving health care to illegal aliens, remember in and every hand was like, me. brian: right. lisa: and yet they don't care about the american citizens. but i'm really into this next topic because i think we are all very passionate during covid. [laughter] and so the fbi director, kash patel, he hints there's a potential breakthrough in the covid origins probe after finding dr. fauci's phone. let's take a listen to what he had to say about that. >> they had always been looking for fauci's original phone -- not original, but phones and devices he used while he was

fauci back in trump one during covid, and nobody had found it. til two days ago. >> really? >> yeah. now, look, your audience and everybody listening shouldn't jump to the conclusion everything's in there. we'll look at it. we'll pull it or, we'll rip it, as we say, and maybe it's deleted, maybe it's not. but at least we found it, and at least now we can tell the person people we've been looking because it is a public importance to figure out, did that guy lie. charlie: talk about democrats going all the way back to their bad old ways, i just love this because it's proof that kash patel and the trump administration intends to go back and uncover all of the lies. brian: that's a good point. yeah, we're not going to let you go back without having to walk down the trail of all the lies and everybody seeing that. can i ask you a question? how do you, like, find his phone? i don't get -- lisa: i thought about that too. brian: you would think these things, you sort of have to pass

it along when you leave and so it's just -- charlie: is it stripped? has it been complete ifly -- brian: yeah. what are the regulations? lisa: -- with a hammer. you'd think he would be a little bit more creative with it. charlie: apparently there's not a warrant, there's not a search warrant for the phone, but then again do you need a search warrant on a phone that is this within the hhs or within, you know, government? obviously, you know, like when you get a new computer, you get a new phone that belongs to a company, you return the phone to the company, and do they keep it? does the government keep it? is it completely empty? who knows? brian: i'm perplexed about why it just wasn't, of course, handed over as soon as he left his position. yes, this is -- lisa: he also got that pardon from biden. i would say this is a guy who intentionally lied to the american people. it's so obvious, it's just common sense. we know he had that phone call with top vie.

[roll call] ses in february 2020 -- virologists pushing it was naturally occurring although everyone knew it escaped from the lab that was working on viruses in china with a shoddy history, their practices there. everyone knew from common sense that's what took place. yet he lied to the american people because nih was involved in that gain of function research, and he was culpable. by all that, we had so many -- people couldn't say good-bye to their loved ones. the economy, he ruined lives in isolation, people committed suicide, they drank themselves to death and did drugs because they were so depressed. that guy, because of his lies, destroyed america for a large part. we're finally getting our footing again, but i don't need his phone to know he's a potential human being, dr. fauci. looking at you, buddy. anyway, sorry. charlie: good stuff. turning now to your headlines, the ex-police chief known as the devil in the ozarks is back in

police custody nearly two weeks after escaping prison. grant hardin was found just over a mile away after tracking dogs picked up his scent. that's barely -- less than 2 miles away from the prison, that is. one resident says everything changed when an elite border patrol unit from texas joined the manhunt. >> all of a sudden, trucks came from everywhere and suvs. there was -- i want to say there was 20 or 30 of them, but they all took off down this way, and next thing we know they're hauling grant hardin out from back here. charlie: the escape came as he was serving a 30-year prison term and a 50-year term for rape. the trump administration is now asking the supreme court to allow mass layoffs at the education department. they want to let go more than 1300 workers. the legal battle comes after the president signed an executive order in march directing education secretary linda

mcmahon to dismantle the doe. >> we're not doing well with the, with the world of education in this country, and we haven't for a long time. we're pleased to be joined today by the woman who i chose because she's an extraordinary person, and hopefully she will be our last secretary of education, linda mcmahon. linda. [applause] charlie: the president's new request comes after a district judge ruled last week to reverse the mass layoffs. and the u.s. measle cases are now nearing a 30-year high. the cdc says there are currently over 1100 cases across 33 states. that's compared to last year when the u.s. saw 285 cases. experts say the country is on track to surpass the over 1200 cases diagnosed in 2019 and is expected to see its highest number of cases since 1992.

and now this, if you're feeling left out of group plans, a new study finds that it's often okay to invite yourself. just don't be that guy. [laughter] >> there's one thing that'll make this wedding perfect, no stiffler. >> okay, hope it's good. [laughter] charlie: over the course of eight experiments, researchers found people often overestimate how annoyed others would be if they joined in on their plans. and in many cases, people organizing an event would like it if other people invited themselves. but inviting yourself to weddings and other formal events is a major faux pas. brian: i don't know about this, i'm sorry. lisa: yeah, you can't do this. brian: i think if somebody wants

you there, they're gonna tell you. they're going to be like, oh, look who showed up, it's charlie, looking down his nose at me again with his glasses. charlie: it's a reminder that bullying is, like, a really important part of growing up, you know? there's a lesson to be learned if you didn't get invited. maybe they're not the people you should be hanging out with, or maybe you should be changing your behavior. lisa: i need an explicit invite to show up someplace. hey, will you come to this, you know? i want to know -- otherwise i'm not showing up. charlie: you've never been left out -- lisa: i have. brian: you're probably always invited. lisa: i have and it hurts deeply. charlie: you know who also has never been left out? abby horn check, and she's live -- abby hornacek. lisa: i love your hat. charlie: this is why you've never if been left out of anything. [laughter] >> reporter: you know, i have

been left out of plenty, you guys, and i almost disagree with you though, if i may, because i want to invite you guys to saratoga springs to join me at the belmont stakes, but you were on the curvy couch. does it work if i invite you now? i would love it. but we have to get you some hats, that's -- we'll work on that. brian: we'll come with the hats. >> reporter: i learned so much. brian: love it. >> reporter: what's that? brian: we'll come with the hats. the hats are the key, you got it. >> reporter: perfect. you know what? i think, brian and charlie, you'd look really good in a fascinator. lisa: i think that's true. abby, we'll be checking in throughout the next few hours, and you look amazing. great to see you, my friend. see you soon. >> reporter: thank you, guys. come on over. lisa: all right. a lot to get to. president trump may sell his tesla, and elon musk might start his own political party. can the bo two political powerhouses make amends? i hope so.

charlie: president trump seemingly washing his hands of elon musk following that public feud over the big, beautiful bill. musk floating a new political party in the u.s., quote, to represent the 80% in the middle which he's calling the america party. here to discuss is editor-in-chief for the national review, rich lowry. good morning, rich. thanks for joining us this morning. >> just for the record, i didn't self-invite on the program -- [laughter] charlie: you would never have to do that. so, you know, you've been around washington for a long time. you've been watching washington for a long time. have you ever seen a more scalding and honest, vicious political fight than this? >> no. no, not even close, charlie. decades from now we'll all remember where we were thursday when the musk-trump flame war broke out. usually this happens behind closed doors and you have an effort to have no public

acrimony. musk was really the aggressor, and what trump was saying friday was appropriate, i'm focused on other things. this would be a sad and unfortunate way for this to end, charlie, because this was a really meaningful and important political and governmental alliance for a time. you know, they're arguing about whether trump would have won with pennsylvania without musk. maybe he would, who knows? but we all know this mattered a lot, right? musk helped financially and also helped in terms of giving trump more credibility with these disaffected males that he needed to turn out in the election and did. charlie: yeah. and i think it was so important because elon musk was not necessarily a political figure, he was kind of coming from the outside, he was a guy who got a lot of things done, and he looked at the situation from the outside and said, oh, wait a minute, you've got these people who are pure lunatics, and you've got this person who has common sense answers and solutions, let's go with this. if you're sitting in congress today and is you're a republican and you're trying to figure out how you're going to get this big, beautiful bill through with

all of its wart withs and all -- warts and all, does this help or hurt all of that? >> i think it hurts at the margins, but, charlie, i think at the end of the day this bill is going to look like it's going to die a couple more times, and then it'll end up on the house floor sometime probably not before july 4th, take longer than speaker johnson wants. it'll be a 2 a.m. vote, they won't be quite sure they have the votes, and trump will be on the phone with the members on the fence, and he'll get them to jump, you know? that's surely what's going to happen. i liked what speaker johnson said the other day. he doesn't tell musk how to run his rocket business, so musk should have a little modesty about telling johnson how to run his business. t not legislative analysis, right? i can tell you this bill would be much better if they had 20 more votes in the house, which they don't, but i can't build rockets, i can't send a man potentially to mars, no one else can. he can. that should be his overwhelming

focus. charlie: and it is interesting to look at the way trump has addressed this particular bill. he knows there are problems, but this is a legislative agenda, and he's got to get it through. >> right. charlie: you know, you don't get 100% exactly what you want in washington which is probably a refreshingly mature way of look at it. rich lowry, thanks so much for joining us. >> thank, charlie. charlie: the egyptian national accused of attacking pro-israeli marchers with a makeshift flamethrower face to face with a judge in federal court.

underdog. but the bet i did win amongst the drew here, i said you -- the crew here, i said you guys are going to look good in your hats, and christine moore did you justice. lisa: thank you, abby. charlie looks like he's about to crack a big case.

and a lot of everything else, and we get along very well with president xi and with china. lisa: the exports of seven precious minerals from china are key to producing cars, robotics and defense systems here in the united states. and check this out, this frightening moment when a drag racer goes airborne during a high-speed if test run at a raceway in illinois. it's crazy. the corvette slamming down before flipping over the guard rail and breaking into pieces. the driver was unconscious for about five minutes before walking away with only minor bruising. thank god for that. now a story that makes us smile, georgia teen is getting rewarded in a big way. he got his diploma, then went straight to the burger king to help out his can coworkers while wearing his graduation sash and medals. now burger king is waring the teen with a $awarding the teen with a $10,000 scholarship.

adam: another active weather pattern here on this saturday morning. there's a couple of spots here early today. we're looking at severe weather, ultimately a story all day long, but that's a line of severe thunderstorms running basically along interstate 40. that is a tornado warning currently on the ground. this is back across portions of arkansas and sweeps up across the southeast including major cities there, running through memphis later in the day, and as

you get later into the evening, ultimately this whole line stretches over towards atlanta. this is an event that happens all day kind of making that move. other side, plenty of rain across portions of the northeast. really only the dry spots back off towards the west where it is going to be a warm one especially across parts of the desert society, 105 in phoenix today. for now, toss it over to you, brian. brian: adam,, thanks very much. literacy rates are declining and screen time is rising. a new survey reveals less than half of parents, particularly those from gen-z, are spending time reading to their kids. our next guest works to teach young children how to read early. the founder of toddlers can read, spencer russell, joins us now. spencer, welcome. you know, my kids are teens now, but when they were toddlers, man, i was reading to them all the time, and it can't even feel like a choice. it was sort of like feeding them. it's the right thing to do. are you surprised that gen-z

parents are now saying i don't want to do this with my kids in? >> you know, i am surprised. but when i asked my followers online why aren't you reading with your kids, i saw three big things emerge. first, we have a lot of folks who find reading themselves to be quite boring. the kids ask them to read the same thing over and over again, and the parent says i don't really want to do that. brian: right. >> then we have a lot of parents who are tired, they're stressed, they're overwhelmed. they see this as just another chore. and finally, a lot of parents struggle with reading themselves. parents tell me when my child goes down for a nap, i'm practicing the book so i'm ready when they wake up. all those things together, it's a little bit less surprising. brian: i respect the parents who are practicing, but reading books to the kids is really not about you as a parent, it's kind of a mindset shift where it seems like the parents are making it about them, but isn't it really you're pouring into your kids with this.

>> i totally agree. i understand why it feels like a lot of work, but we didn't sign up to be parents to do what's most fun for us, we sign up to do what's best for our kids. and we know it has a profound impact on their interest in books, their relationship with their parent, so it might not be the most fun thing sometimes, but it's important for us to do. brian: well, i would think that screen time plays a part as well, the presence of screens. ike shah vance spoke on that -- usha vance spoke on that recently. >> if you're not outside playing, you might be inside staring at one of the many screens we now have in our houses, so we're trying to take that approach. make everything that you can do outside and in the real world feel fun so that it's a little bit of a distraction from the things i don't necessarily want my kids doing at this age. brian: are screens the enemy of parents reading to their kids like they ought to be? >> i think in many cases they are. i can't say across the board.

but in many cases i think screen time is replacing story time. because when you look at these rates dropping, you say 64% of parents used to read to their kids, now it's only 41%, you have to ask yourself, what is that time being replaced by? brian: that's such a good point. i can still remember the stories i read concern -- i can probably do them by memory because i read them so often. but that's a fun memory we have with our kids. spencer, thanks for being here. >> thanks so much for having me. brian: all right. for "fox & friends" right after this.
