>> brian: 6:00 a.m. on the east coast friday, all 16. >> "fox & friends." will is in good shape. kamala harris finally expected to roll out her vision for the economy this morning amid reports she wants to separate herself from bidenomics? but trump says her attempt at keeping costs down look like more like communism. >> it leads to food shortages. rationing, hunger. we called it maduro plan like something straight out of venezuela, the soviet union. >> ainsley: and five people charged after the defendant matthew perry, including two doctors. and a dealer known as ceted mean queen with the feds saying his live-in personal assistant actually injected him with the drug on the day of his death. >> will: plus, an alleged hack at background check company could have leaked billions of social security numbers. what you need to know to protected yourself. >> lawrence: 's unbelievable. "fox & friends" starts right now.

do you say mornings are better with friends even though it was in the friends? >> brian: i think you just did. >> lawrence: mornings are better with friends. >> ainsley: today in north carolina vice president kamala harris is expected to roll out her economic agenda which is expected to include a ban on price gouging at our grocery stores and your favorite restaurant. >> will: madeleine rivera has more this morning. hi, madeleine. >> good morning. this is vice president's kamala harris first major policy initiative since president biden dropped out of the race. all eyes are on whether she will stick to president biden's approach or distance herself it from him. per the "new york times" economic plan she will release today will be relatively lining details. the strategy reflecting the advice from her aides to be clear in talking about the economy but avoiding being overly specific. the thinking behind that, reportedly is, that she can avoid attacks and also, perhaps, attract business groups turned off by president biden's policies. one of the details we do know, harris is set to announce a proposal to impose a federal ban

on price gouging on food and groceries. her campaign says she wants to enact that within her first 100 days in office. harris is accusing large retailers of keeping food prices high to secure record profits. according to the food industry association. profit margins in the grocery store industry hit 1.6% last year. that's the lowest level since 2019, when it was 1%. some economists think price controls aren't effective. >> no one has ever proven that the reason for high prices whether it's grocery prices or electricity prices. or oil and energy prices. no one has ever shown that corporate greed or price gouging has ever played a role in it. biden looked at this. he had a task force snivment the government. they came up with nothing. >> also expected it roll out proposal today targeting prescription drug and housing costs.

lawrence, will, ainsley and brian. >> brian: thank you, made. she has got to make a decision. am i going to be for bidenomics which she is already on the record over and over again she said he will with, i had no choice i was forced to say that because she has been saying it for threers i don't. then she was saying yesterday so many times on the same page as well as the press secretary saying they are all on the same page we are in this together. you can't do that and say this is what i would do different and, you know. so things that she is going to roll out today are going to be dr. nated particularly different than what joe biden had this place. >> lawrence: favorite thing about the "new york times" pieces we don't her going into specifics. excuse me? they kept saying she was building this out. it was going to be this big thing. she has had all this time to come up with something and she can't go into specifics? isn't that the whole problem to begin with? wasn't this supposed to put all those worries and concerns to bed? bill will i would say it's a

partnership, a lack of specifics on one hand. not knowing who she sand knowing her policies. when you do get some inkling of an idea who she is oh, you are for price controls. oh, wow, that's really -- take a moment and internalize that she is talking about price controls for the grocery industry in order to control inflation that is as far left of an idea as can you get price control. >> brian: that took her 25 days to come up with. >> ainsley: look at inflation from january 62021, which is when they took office, until this past june, a few months ago, gas was up 46%. gross up 21%. energy up 33%. day care up 16%. rent up 22%. car insurance 53%. and transportation up 36%. those are all things we have to have. families cannot afford to pay for all of these things. and this is not the grocery store. other than groceries up 21%. but gas and energy and day care

and rent and car insurance, this is inflation this is kamala harris and joe biden administration. donald trump yesterday was at bedminster e had a press conference. and he walked out and he talked for a little while. then he took questions. and he compared this to a communist country. listen to this. >> kamala's reportedly proposing communist price control. she wants price controls. and if they worked, i would go along with it, too. they don't work. they actually have the exact opposite impact and effect. but it leads to food shortages, rationing, hunger, dramatically more inflation. their inflation rucket act by the way was a disaster. it's what caused the inflation, their inflation reduction act was con john. we call it the maduro plan like something straight out of venezuela or the soviet union. this announcement is an admission that her economic policies have totally failed and caused really a catastrophe for our country.

and, beyond that, a catastrophe in the world. >> brian: if you look at those horrible supermarkets which i have always said they are the worst. being facetious. profit march i didn't know 1.6%. all the other industry 8.5%. why wouldn't did you go into the freezer section of a supermarket do you think these are the bad guys? i mean, look at these graphs? there is no indications that they are price gouging at the supermarkets. it doesn't work to their advancement. in fact, i think there is 300 stop and shops going out of business. i mentioned this on wednesday, but i forgot ask if i could use his name but this person i know very well has over 50 supermarkets. he had to get mad of a his managers. you have not marked up enough. we are losing money on these products on a daily basis. and for you to sit there behind the podium and blame corporations, not only is it inaccurate. but it creates tension in

society. now you are going to go to that guy with the smock on or pocket protector you are the reason i can't pay my bills. >> lawrence: the part i also don't understand is when you talk about how things are bad right now, one of the talking points from the administration is the recovery from covid. they keep telling us that. yet, they won't acknowledge that the businesses are also still recovering from covid when it was shut down. the second thing is. >> brian: supply chain. supply chain, energy costs. >> lawrence: brian, the second thing is after they decide this massive plan if she gets elected, what happens if all thieves employers start laying off. >> ainsley: exactly. >> lawrence: these employees. are you going to account for that when that unemployment rate begins to tank again? are they going to -- you are robbing peter to pay paul. >> will: you are offloading blame as well. blame is directly to the policies of the biden administration. you can't look at what happened under the biden administration, you can see the economy and all

the different effects it's h you see the price increases have gone up 19.4%. real wages and benefits have fallen 2.9%. inflation 2% above the federal reserve's target, it's outpaced pages for more than two years. interest rates in a response to inflation. at the highest levels in almost 20 years. and this is the part when everybody says oh, the economy. there has been job growth. joe biden and kamala tried to brag about bidenomics. i think those last two figured are part of what really makes people say. >> lawrence: 100 percent. >> feel good. credit card debt and personal savings at the lowest rate. that is what everybody is spending what they don't have to maintain a cost of living. >> ainsley: smirk not stupid. we know what saying. it's not my fault. it's the grocery store's fault. >> brian: exactly like that. >> ainsley: we have been showing her like this and brian keeps doing. this. [laughter] >> brian: point out and lawrence you will probably say this in the break.

will had memorized all those numbers. he was not looking at the full screen. just so you know. look, if you -- you just have to look at her record. i hope america is smart enough to see how she has voted in the past. what her policies are. if you don't believe us, we have a montage of some of what she said in the past. here is a flashback 6 where she stands on these issues. there is no question i'm in favor of banning fracking. [applause] >> yeah. and starting -- and starting with what we can do on day one around public lands. right? under my medicare for all plan, yes, employers are not going to be able to dictate the kind of healthcare that their employees get. it must have an adopt a green new deal on day one as president. i would re-enter us in the paris agreement. >> thank you, senator. >> be carbon neutral by 2030. >> i'm prepared to get rid of the filibuster to pass a green new deal. >> was it wrong to consider inflation transitory these price hikes seem like they are going to be with us for a while. >> we have to address the fact

that we got to deal with the fact that folks are paying for gas, paying for goesries and our need solutions to it. so let's talk about that. >> it's a term we are very proud of, i must tell you, because bidenomics is working. it's working. >> we are very proud of bidenomics. >> further evidence of how well bidenomics is working. >> brian: i was say that against my will. i was working for joe biden or she has got to say i was wrong. or i got to say this is what i could do better. because joe biden sunday the impression that she has been with him every step of the way. says that every moment. >> lawrence: when asked him yesterday what do you anticipate with kamala harris going to criticize about your economics he goes she is not. brian line looking at rent controls stop landlords and forgiveness. when you forgiveness pile onto the debt. hospitals aren't going to get

paid because you want to get their votes. the only thing i back her up on and i think both sides have been late on this. is the corporate buying of houses. these corporations buying of houses, building them, renting them, and then making it impossible to eventually buy them breaks basically the private ownership covenant. so i would love to see blackrock and them being pushed back. but, besides that. this is what kind of a country do you want? >> ainsley: everyone has been wondering where she is? why doesn't she talk to the press. why isn't she giving sit down interview to some news agency and we wanted to hear more about her policy. go the website, nothing on there. apparently rolling out economic policy today. people are curious what she stands for. even though we know her voting record. she hasn't sat down in 26 days. but she did release a video of tim walz. >> brian: oh so, there is an interview? >> ainsley: they are interviewing each other. >> brian: fantastic. >> ainsley: watch a little clip of this. >> i have white guy tacos. >> like mayonnaise and tuna what

do you do. >> pretty much ground beef and cheese. >> that's okay. do you put any flavor in it. >> no. they said be careful and let her know this black pepper is the top of the spice level in minnesota. >> lawrence: black pepper? >> will: why is kamala an expert on tacos? >> brian: that's your take away point. >> will: dumping on him about tacos? who is she? >> brian: unscripted moments bill will she went with is she is saying white guy tacos are tuna. >> ainsley: she said white guy tacos. >> will: what is that tuna and mayonnaise? >> lawrence: she couldn't get what album she likes all of it. >> music bruce springsteen wreath that and miles. chevy camaro first car with an 8 track.

we learned nothing. >> lawrence: you can't say the producers are like no issues. i'm going to get. >> ainsley: exactly no issues. >> lawrence: doesn't make any sense. you don't say areed that franklin and say all of them. you don't put the greatness on miles davis yeah, all of the artists as well. they're the greatest for a reason but, again, even when she has just simple human moments where where she should be go back and forth. >> brian: not natural. >> ainsley: everyone on social media fake, scripted, phoney. and they said you can't do interviews so you have to talk to each other? >> brian: they want to create chemistry. these two were bausch to run together. >> lawrence: can i confess though? >> ainsley: she is like you would have been my friend and grew up in the same neighborhood. i'm like no, you probably would not have been. >> brian: she is from canada anyway. >> lawrence: i get why they are not putting her out. strictly if you don't care about the press holding people.

>> ainsley: it was awkward. >> lawrence: keep her away from the camera. >> will: have you ever seen all the stuff about lebron james books out press conferences and ask. what's your favorite part? all the parts. >> lawrence: can't do that. >> will: what you are doing who your favorite music is all of them. >> lawrence: she doesn't know. it's an image thing. >> brian: if she said if she didn't have any that were favorites that would be weird. don't want to be weird. >> ainsley: don't say weird apparently trump campaign. >> brian: portland and austin slogan keep portland weird and austin weird that whole weird thing i don't get it. >> ainsley: me neither. >> brian: i thought especially that party the nose writtensed purple hair, i thought you were supposed to accept everybody. and all of a sudden i don't like this guy because ron howard did a movie on his life. book best seller for three years. >> ainsley: he is weird because he is wearing a navy suit no.

purple hair. >> no tongue piercings. >> brian: when normal is weird again. that should be our slogan. >> lawrence: maybe we will change it. so some real news. four suspects are now being charged in connection with with the murder of general hospital star johnny wactor he was killed in may after trying to stop thieves from stealing the catalytic converter in his car. >> brian: brooke singman is here. >> brooke: three suspects between 18 and 22 charged with murder. fourth charged as accessory to the crime. jail records show the four suspects are being held in lieu of a $2 million bail. yesterday, los angeles police searched through several locations obtaining additional evidence which led to the arrest. according to the "los angeles times," law enforcement sources say police were focusing the investigation on gang members with ties to catalytic converter thefts in the area. no word yet if those suspects are involved in a gang.

johnny wactor's mother speaking to fox news digital about the arrest saying, quote: it's good news. i'm excited. i know some people don't even get this far but i'm very happy. back in may wactor was leaving bartending job with one of his co-workers when he noticed the three thieves had lifted his car with a jack. >> they were after the catalytic council verter from the inside of his car but were unsuccessful. the suspects then drove away in a stolen car. he was shot in the chest and later died from his injuries. police also say during the confrontation wactor stepped in front of his co-worker, shielding them from the suspects. now, earlier this week his family and friends held a rally outside of los angeles city haggle demanding justice for wactor. his mother continues to call for change in l.a. and is asking for mayor karen bass to address the public safety issues. guys? >> will: all right. thank you, wrook. we also have carley over there with additional headlines. >> carley: i certainly do. on a very similar topic when it comes to death ohio profile.

two doctors charged in the ketamine overdose that kilpery. agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy and drug distribution charges that includes perry's long time personal insistent who injected him with the deadly dose. drug dealer jazz mean xanga who authorities refer to as the ketamine queen was also arrested and arraigned in court yesterday. ice arresting a peruvian gang leader near buffalo new york who was wanted in his home country for 23 murders. the leader of the lois killer's gang entered the u.s.s. illegally in texas on may 16th when he was arrested and then released with a notice to appear. he reportedly fled peru after exilg a retired police officer. he was arrested alongside his girlfriend who peruvian authorities say played the prominent role in his gang. this is concerning. millions of social security numbers may be at risk as nearly 3 billion records were reportedly stolen in a massive

hack. according to reports, members of the hack group usdod shared most of the data on online forum. the group offering to sell the information which includes addresses, phone numbers, and social security numbers. a suit filed in florida claims the data was stolen from background check company national public data. who did confirm the breach. here's an update on american gymnast jordan chiles speaking out after stripped of bronze olympic ma medal when the romann gymnastic team challenge would her final score she says i am overwhelmed by the decision i received this decision feels unjust and comes as a significant blow. i will approach this challenge as i have others and make every earth to ensure that justice is done. i believe at the end of this journey the people in control will do the right thing. officials ruled to give the medal to romanian.

that's a good message from jordan chiles. she is going to meet this challenge head on and fight the decision. >> brian: good. she really won. she is more famous now. although will has a different take on it. >> will: no, i don't. i don't. >> ainsley: putting you on the spot did you all talk about it. >> brian: in free interview this morning you thought that the romanian really deserved it. >> will: the floor routine was something. >> brian: what about the floor routine? >> will: stepped out of bounds? but didn't step out of bounds but then there was an appeal certain amount of time. >> brian: she is more famous now. >> lawrence: i don't like the take of giving them both the bronze. >> brian: why? >> lawrence: what do you mean why? the u.s. player scored higher. the bronze person, if she is a true competitor should give the person to the rightful person. >> brian: give it to her and have her throw it away. >> lawrence: person that got the medal with a little asterisk. >> ainsley: talked about all the blood sweat and tears to get here.

i have gone through some challenges and trials in my life. this is going to help me. she said don't think this is the first challenge in my life. and i like that she said she is going to fight for justice. i don't know how she can change what happened. they already made their decision. but she should win it. she should get the bronze. i agree with you, whoever has the best score even if it's 4 seconds after the time i know those are the rules. i believe whoever had the best score. why would you want a medal if you know you didn't have the better score. >> brian: i think rules are rules. for example, you know, we are doing some replay sometimes look back at replay and still don't get it right. the next day you look at it, you can't reverse it the game is over. a minute to get in. bigger story is they got it in 47 seconds. got the repeal in and video showed it. they will not look at the video. >> ainsley: why are the judges saying 4 seconds too late. >> brian: i don't know. americans say got it in 47 seconds. >> will: one sports story where have you way more takes than me. >> brian: i started with you. i gave you your take and you

rejected it. >> will: this bronze medal is a big deal brines g. >> ainsley: it is the olympics. >> lawrence: are you saying we shouldn't be talking 'about it because it isn't gold? >> brian: doing five take as day with stephen a. smith so we are not even in his league. he is insulted we even brought it up. that's the whole thing. do you really want to mess with the best? >> lawrence: the complete dagger was are you guys debating a bronze medal? how dare you. at least let it be silver. >> brian: i know. only person not insultside ainsley because she doesn't quite understand what we are talking about. >> ainsley: is this what you guys talk about on the golf course? >> will: actually very similar. >> brian: without the beer. >> ainsley: what movie was it comes home and she is like tell me, are they getting a divorce? and he says i don't know. you didn't ask him if he is getting divorced? no. what did you all talk about. all-were there for four hours every you didn't check on him. >> brian: i know what movie you are talking about. >> ainsley: what is that? anyway.

>> brian: let's not go to break until we figure it out. let's go. will v.p. kamala harris incorporate bidenomics into her economic agenda because, if you ask president biden, it might be a winning strategy. >> mr. president, will bidenomics continue under vice president harris? >> the economy is going to continue all those working, in case you haven't noticed, it's working. >> lawrence: stuart varney wasn't working. he will is going to tell us what he thinks, next. >> brian: thank god for closedhs captioning. captioning. ♪ and i continue to be a proud customer. i grew up shopping here, and now i love bringing my family here to gear up for all of our adventures together. and now, bass pro shops club members enjoy special savings and earn points toward free gear, which is rewarding when buying what you need for your next adventure. spending time outdoors with the ones you love, sharing memories and making new ones... that's an earnhardt family tradition

as we are expecting the impacts to really be seen more so tomorrow. largely though, what you are looking at here, is a system that stays off the u.s. east coast. it doesn't mean there will be no impacts. it's going to be far enough away you are not going to see real significant impacts other than waves. expecting deadly rip currents, folks going to the beaches the next couple of days you certainly need to be careful. a big storm out at sea that is going to push up the currents quite a bit. looking at waves here at the peaks, 6 to 9 feed up along the coast. good size waves. certainly dangerous. of course we are also going to be keeping our mind on bermuda as we could be seeing what might be a landfall storm coming here in the next day or so. those are your weather headlines for now. lawrence, throwing it over to you. >> lawrence: adam, unless you are a pro-none of that is surfing. leave it to the pros. thanks, adam. so, vice president kamala harris is set to roll out her economic plan today during a speech in north carolina. but as she reportedly plans to distance herself from biden in the three and a half years of inflation. let's take a look back at some

of her previous economic promises. watch. >> there's no question i'm in favor of banning fracking. [applause] so, yeah. and starting -- and starting with what we can do on day one around public lands, right? >> under my medicare for all plan, yes, employers are not going to be able to dictate the kind of healthcare that their employees get. it must have an adopt a green new deal on day one as president, i would re-enter us in the paris. >> thank you, senator. >> and put us in place carbon neutral by 2030. >> lawrence: host of varney and company stuart varney. all of her positions, stawrkts past positions she says with great conviction. who are we to believe? >> stuart: today she is going to look further to the left. she is going to introduce an idea for a federal ban on price gouging in the grocery business. she is going to investigate and punish what she says is

excessive profits. she is going to clamp down, talk down, government down on inflation it's not going to work a new form of populism. actually taking her administration further to the left from the biden-harris administration. it doesn't work. we have tried this in the 1970s, it leads to shortages. it does not control inflation. it does not cut prices. it's going to be a failure. but it's a lurch to the left. that's what we have to remember. that's what she is coming up with. >> lawrence: she is supposed to be moderating her positions. look back prices have increased 9 #%. real wages and benefits have fallen nearly 3%. inflation outpaced wages for 25 straight months. and there's an over a trillion dollars in credit card debt. but everything is going well. >> stuart: it's not. she should take some responsibility for the inflation we saw. her response, it is her responsibility. she cast a tying vote for the

winning vote on the massive increase in spending. $1.9 trillion. chucked into the economy, coupled with trillions of dollars worth of money, printed by the federal reserve. that created the inflation. >> lawrence: what is it going to -- if kamala harris is elected and americans already going through a lot right now. what is her policies going to do for the economy? >> for the economy? i think it will suppress it. i think you will get to a recession. that's not the way -- she is going to spend some more money, which will be inflationary in and of itself. she is going to regulate the economy, which is not going to help the economy at all. she is going to go for a wealth tax, tax the rich. tax big corporations. tax corporations to the max. that's not going to do the economy any good at all. it's already slowing down. if she is elected president and imposes that kind of policy, you really will go into a recession. >> lawrence: wow. our colleague, edward lawrence at fox business got an opportunity to ask president

biden is bidenomics working at the white house yesterday. this is what he said. mr. president, will bidenomics continue under vice president harris. >> the economy is going to continue with all those [inaudible] working. in case you haven't noticed working. >> lawrence: working food is up 22%. car insurance 55%. energy 33%. and electricity is up 29%. but it's working. will whale kamala harris proposes to do will not help inflation. it will not help the community. >> lawrence: what is going on with the business community? i see some of them going for donald trump i see some of them going for kamala harris. just as an outsider, how could they say kamala harris would be good for business? >> generally speaking, most -- well, i can't say most. generally speaking, business wants trump to win. >> lawrence: okay. >> they may or may not like him. tax policy, energy policy, and regulatory policy. generally speaking, they don't like what harris is offering.

more of the same or even further to the left. it's a split in the business community because there is a strong pox of supporting democrats. >> lawrence: why? >> why? >> stuart: frequently democrats have been good for the stock market. historically they haven't been that bad. look at what he have had. three and a half years of biden in the white house and stock market gone largely straight up since the pandemic. straight up. now almost record highs across the board in the stock market. >> lawrence: but we are not feeling it at home. >> stuart: middle america is 160 million americans have a direct input into the stock market. they own stocks, maybe directly or indirectly. they got a piece of the action. they are wealthier today because of the stock market if they are in the market than they were four or five years ago. >> lawrence: stuart varney breaking it down for us. if you want more of it. >> stuart: you want more of this? >> lawrence: fox business channel 9:00 a.m. >> lawrence: watch "fox & friends" and then switch over to

>> will: prosecutors reveal how the five people charged including two of perry's doctors supplied his addiction. >> these defendants took advantage of mr. perry's addiction issues to enrich themselves. >> as matt true perry ketamine addiction grew he wanted it more and faster and cheaper. that is how he ended up buying from street dealers who sold the ketamine that actually led to his death thank you both for

being with me. derek, i think i want to start with you in that a lot of psychedelics have gone through a little bit of a public renaissance in terms of image, a lot of talk about therapeutic help matthew perry wrote about that in his book how ketamine had done a lot for him. i don't know that the down sides what we just saw with matthew perry a lot of people are considering when it comes to drugs like ketamine. >> right. thank you, will for having me. a long time, very addict tia and means needs these people like matthew perry who have access to a lot of money, obviously these ketamine queen took total advantage of him. greed taking over and these poor addicted people are dying like crazy, yeah. look at what is going on with

the fentanyl crisis it. started with opioid addiction. coming from the doctor's office. and now we have people dropping at historic levels in america like we have never seen before. so, people are being deceived to death as well, will, because the addiction is so bad. >> will: you know, katie, as derek points out, there is this side of this that is the ketamine queen where matthew perry was buying drugs through a street dealer at increasingly high levels. he was also getting it from doctors. there is these text messages where these doctors are communicating with each other like how much can we get from this stuff from in this moron apparently like $12 worth of ketamine selling to him for $2,000. talk to me about that side of the drug market that's coming through legitimate doctors? >> well there is legitimate uses of ketamine, obviously. that's how this all began tore matthew perry. but obviously these particular doctors knew very well that he was addicted. they even documented that in text messages and continued to

supply him with very dangerous quantities of these drugs and allowed it to be administered in a way that's not authorized. so that has nothing to do with the legitimate use of these drugs in a very controlled setting. of course, this is a warning to anybody that is legitimately dispensing these drugs that this can obviously go down a slippery slope very quickly. >> will: derek, is it known like ketamine, it's a -- as katy points out, it's got a use -- a real use in a hospital environment, i know members of my family have used it as i think doctors use it often as a pain killer. because it effects memory. you don't remember things that you have gone through. so you don't remember the pain that you might have experienced during surgery. but, is ketamine chemically addictive? i know matthew perry had huge addiction problems. once he went down the hole of starting to use ketamine, is it the kind of drug it's like heroin or any other you need more, you need more, you start chasing it? >> well, will, i'm not a doctor, apparently it is very addictive.

it's been around for a while. obviously fentanyl is taking the headlines every day in this country, unfortunately, mental illness, depression, anxiety, pain, is going on all over the country. so people are turning to drugs for hen. and, unfortunately, the services in america for mental illness and this type of addiction is just not really helping. so they go into the street drugs. and that's what happened in this case, right? i mean, think about it. they found 79 violation of this ketamine in the ketamine queen's house during the search warrant. will, i want to just say one last thing. i really applaud the work of law enforcement in the los angeles community. i mean, look how quickly they put together this case and look at how like we already have like three or four people that have pled guilty. >> will: right. >> they created an awesome case. the u.s. attorney prosecuted it. now we need them to face maximum justice. because these doctors should be

held to a higher standard. >> will: right. >> you have to make sure america knows that if you are killing people with these drugs, and you are taking advantage of them, nothing is worse, will. so they have to be able deal with the accountability. >> will: really quickly, i'm over time. those doctors, what are they looking at for their future. >> they are facing hefty jail sentences here. obviously that has nothing to do with their licenses which are going to be out the window as well. >> will: right. >> they took great advantage of the situation for their personal profit. >> will: all right, always great to have you. thank you so much for being with us this morning. >> thank you. >> will: brand new fox polling shows trump leading on the border with the majority putting the blame on biden and harris. plus, closing out back to school week with tips on how to have a more productive school year. it's friday so it's the all-american concert series. check in with the mclemores on fox square. >> what happens up, will. thank you for tossing it to us. guys, we have got warren
