♪ ♪ if. ♪ pete:s it is the 9 a.m. hour of "fox & friends" weekend. starting with this, vice president kamala harris finally rolling out some of her economic agenda. >> we will build what i call an opportunity economy. i will work to pass the first ever federal ban on price gauging on food. pete: we will read one word at a time. [laughter] but even the media isn't buying it. rachel: are we all going to keep doing this? pete: no. rachel: oh, okay. [laughter] will: plus, as she prepares to first off against former president trump, he's recruiting a familiar face to get him ready for the debate. >> she put over 1500 people in jail for marijuana violations and laughed about it when asked if she smoked majority the people who suffered under your
6:02 am
reign as prosecutor, you owe them an apology. rachel: and from mom to roommate. i'll stop. [laughter] the sleepover that's sparking debate as one mom bunks up with her daughter on her first night at college. the final hour of "fox & friends" weekend starts right now. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ pete: you know this song. will: no. no, and i'm watching you sing all the a lyrics. ♪ i was on a boat that a day -- will: y2k country got him. [laughter] pete: the highway got me. will: if it's on the highway,
6:03 am
he's got it. rachel: i like that song. will: you know what i'm doing tonight, zack brown tonight. rachel: here in town? pete: no, in texas. rachel: that's right. pete: you should know that. will: a little different style, but you do like him -- pete: i do. should we tell him what we were talking about before the hour started? rachel: i don't think you should. pete: that's privileged information. it involves airline lounges. [laughter] rachel: they were having a conversation about airline lounges, and i -- pete: just as you said -- rachel: i said this was a 1% conversation, that's what i said. [laughter] pete: and she was right. iowa a. rachel: i am a right. maybe i need to look into this. anyway, we're going the talk about inflation now. [laughter] pete: yeah. the lounge fees are really going up. [laughter] it affects all of us, will.
6:04 am
will: well, so, yes. [laughter] so we need to work on, according to kamala harris, therefore, an opportunity economy. so she did take the stage yesterday where she vealed a whole -- revealed a whole new set of mans that she is -- plans that she is calling the opportunity economy. >> as a president, i will be laser focused on creating opportunities for the middle class that advance their economic security, stability and dignity. together, we will build what i call an opportunity economy. [applause] an opportunity economy. an economy where everyone can compete and have a real chance to succeed. everyone, regardless of who they are or where they start, has an opportunity to build wealth for themselves and their children.
6:05 am
and where we remove the barriers to opportunity. rachel: removing the barriers to the opportunity might be removing biden and harris -- the. [laughter] because, listen, this is part of the plan. they a want to take other poem's money and give it to other people. -- other people's money. so here is the plan. $25,000 for people who want a down payment, first-time home buyers. hay want to restore the biden administration's $3,000 child tax credit which expired in 2021. and do $6,000 tax credit for families with kids in the first year of life and lower prescription drugs and costs -- prescription if drug costs and limit annual out-of-pocket if prescription drug costs. and, of course, what everyone's talking about is she wants a federal ban on grocery prices. will: everyone's talking about the first and the last things you see on the screen, the
6:06 am
$25,000 house down payment for first-time buyers, and the federal ban if on grocery price gouging because it reflects the attempt to control the economy which has been tried in this country and in other countries in terms of price controls. but also the $25,000 house down payment support for first-time house buyers is an attempt to essentially buy votes. it's an attempt to solve the housing crisis which has boxed a lot of people out, but people point out two things. you just increased the house cost by $25,000. rachel: yeah. will: but you also increase demand for houses which is also going to push prices higher. it's just, it's economically illiterate from start to finish, and it's received the criticism of everyone from some really shocking places like "the new york times". pete: yeah. we noted this morning every other thing she's said or done in her past has been explained away quickly by legacy media. on this one on the economics of it, a lot of outlets pounced and
6:07 am
said this is inconceivable, it's political pandering. i was tempted to call this an unforced error. i think this was a forced error. i think the trump campaign has looked at the honeymoon period, and they've gone after her and said she doesn't do interviews, she's flip-flopped on this and that, she doesn't have policy decisions, and i think they forced her into declaring a policy position, and when she did, e she exposed the radicalism of communism -- rachel: right. pete: you brought forward an important detail, that her father is a former marxist professor -- rachel: at stanford. pete: this is how she sees the world, you can command and control the economy from washington, d.c., and it's going to make your high worse. they could have sailed all the way to the dnc without this and all the way to the debate, but instead here she is in a forced error. so so good on the trump campaign for keeping the churn to the point where she had to the say something. when you listen to her on that
6:08 am
speech, she's terrible! will: right. pete: that's a terrible delivery on a speech. she has a very -- not thin, zero resumé on economics. donald trump owns that space. this could be with, and this is the biggest issue in the campaign, so this could be the beginning of a fissure and a change in the momentum that we see before us. rachel: yeah. i mean, i think everyone's looking forward to seeing donald trump and kamala harris go head to head, toe to to toe on this particular topic. have kamala explain why she wants price controls. i was telling you guys the story earlier about a woman who went in to vote in venezuela in this latest election which is -- they won but, of course, now the dick ato have won't step down -- dictator. but this woman went in to vote, and she came out crying. and when she was interviewed, she said i'm crying because i voted hugo chavez in. i voted for these socialist plans, and now so many decades later here we are.
6:09 am
i feel responsible for the economic devastation that my boys, my sons are living through. and i think that's really an important thing for us to think about as we move into this, because i do think it's a gift, will and pete, that she did say it. pete: uh-huh. rachel: these are the kinds of things that a lot of leftists do after they're elected. will: welsh here's what donald trump had to say about it on truth social. if you think things are expensive now, they'll get a hundred times worse if kamala gets four more years. kamala will implement soviet-style price controls or or she'll abolish privacy health care and -- private health care and make california's ridiculous tax policies the law of the land. if you want more cash and less tax, vote trump. now, i think that words like socialism and communism have been used often on the right so much that they begin to to be a dulled knife. people can begin to think, oh, well, you're calling it communism again. but this is not just communism
6:10 am
literally, these are the mechanisms of communism like price controls, but this is now not just the right recognizing it. it's coming from places like the atlantic and the washington post. rachel: and i think it's very effective that donald trump is calling it the maduro plan, because i think that speaks directly to hispanics who know exactly what that means. pete: here's some of the headlines, harris' plan is economic chi dumb but politically smart. -- economically dumb but politically smart. or washington post editorial board, the times demand serious economic ideas, hearst supplies gimmicks. -- harris supplies gimmicks. they're no fan of trump. will: here's "the new york times." this is jason furman, obama's economist, he wrote: this is not sensible policy. i think the biggest hope is that it ends up being a lot of relate ridge and no reality.. -- rhetoric. there is some downside. pete: there was a time in this country where the income rate for the highest earners was
6:11 am
990%. i mean -- 900%. jfk cut it, ronald reagan cut it down to below 40, but where would the democrats like it again? up to 50, 60, 70 -- hour are they always saying is the bad guy? the rich and the wealthy business owners, pay their fair share. their logic leads to terrible places and in this case, these economists are calling them out. rachel: ray yeah. i had carlos gimenez on, the congressman from florida, he left the island of cuba when he was only 7 years old. here's what he had to say about what we could look forward to if kamala harris was elected. >> people are fleeing cuba, millions of cubans have left cuba because they can't sustain themselves. they have shortages of everything. and it's all a due to the central economy, centralized economy of communism. and so, look, price controls, they don't work. she's trying to blame greedy corporations for, you know, the
6:12 am
high price when, in fact, it was the harris-biden administration's economic policies that has given us this, you know, almost record inflation and also skyrocketing interest rates. if she becomes president, this is the most radical, left-wing ticket ever put in front of the the american people. rachel: hey, guys, i like that he brings up the ticket because there's not a moderating force in the vice president either. this is a man who is completely enamored with communist china, you know? hunter biden loved chinese money, but this guy actually loves the crushes cp. i mean -- ccp. he has nothing negative to say about china and their controlled economy. i think this is, as carlos gimenez said, this is a very radical ticket. look at her, look at her communist, marxist father. this is a really interesting -- pete: and he can't do nicks either, by the way -- economics either. minnesota had an $18 billion surplus when he came into
6:13 am
office, now it's a deficit. he raised taxes in the middle of it. said he was going to give money back to the taxpayers, shocker, tim walz not telling the truth. will: earlier in the show i talked about some of the philosophical failings of this idea, milton friedman wrote about this. no single person nor if group of people has the genius or intelligence to say i know what the right price of x is in y. i know what the right price of bacon is in harrisburg. the point of capitalism is the informational inputs through all of our different choices that we make. it also applies to climate change. like, who is the geniuses that's going to actually control the world's thermostat, get the climate to its optimal temperature? i hope it's not john kerry, because he can't operate the mute if button. watch. [laughter] >> no one has done more to battle if climate crisis than him. please join me in welcoming secretary john kerry. sir, over to you.
6:14 am
[no audio] >> muted, am i unmuted? can you hear me? rachel: you guys, that was the ultimate boomer moment. by the way -- pete: he's got it all covered. rachel: i could totally see myself doing that. i can't make fun of it. will: i would do -- to, but you would the most. [laughter] the point isn't that some of us mess up on the mute button, but we're not asking to control the climate and the economy as well. rachel: do you really think john kerry is doing this because -- this is why i love the it when they call it the green new scam. this is a money-making scam for him, his family. it is about a control but it is about a -- people are making money -- pete: both can be true at the same time. who on the planet's got a bigger ego than john kerry? rachel: true. pete: this guy would say if anybody can do it, it's me. rachel: yes. pete: and i understand from cows
6:15 am
far rting that -- will: that's your best impression. i don't think you have a better one. rachel: i actually think that's a good one -- will: i'm being serious. rachel: oh, his trump is good too -- pete: i mean, it's the green new scam. rachel is great. will: i think your john kerry's better -- pete: you've just got to get into horse face voice and talk nor very self-importantly -- rachel: i was just going to say, you have to think you're the world's most important person. will: that was a climate change zoom in support of kamala harris and putting young voters into the mix here. 4111% of them -- 411% of them -- 411 of them, by the way, say climate change is the number ons on -- pete: still going? hanoi jane, what have you got? >> when i speak to potential voters as i've been doing for the last year, i explain the
6:16 am
urgency of the climate crisis, and i ask them to vote with climate in their hearts. setting it out, voting for a third party candidate, this is voting for the orange man. [laughter] rachel: one of the reasons i love being part of "fox & friends" weekend is that jane fonda gets introduced as hanoi if jane, what have you got? [laughter] pete: whatever. i mean, that's how -- i'd say 80% of our viewers, that's how we -- she'll never be seen -- rachel: of course. but also a just the elitism. think about all these climate change agenda, this is why we're sitting here with this inflation. you know? they decided to wage a war on american energy and here we are. i don't know what will is laughing about -- pete: nothing. rachel: what's going on here? pete: walk into a vfw post in the country, and you'll find a picture of jane fonda -- will: yeah. i wonder what segment of our audience has no idea what you're talking about.
6:17 am
rachel: maybe the 41% of those -- will: jane fonda went to north korea during the vietnam war, sat on top of that tank -- pete: an artillery piece that was being used to shoot at american -- rachel: and then she promoted prop began -- propaganda about how well our military prisoners were being treated. but there she is, not caring that her climate agenda is why a lot of people can't put gas in their car. and, by the way, a lot of parents struggling to buy school supplies coming up. and it's going to be a tough christmas if kamala gets elected and we get price controls. pete: let's turn now to a few additional headlines starting with this, new york city mayor eric adams says he's done nothing wrong after he was reportedly hit with another round of subpoenas as part of a corruption probe in his 202211 campaign finances. >> whatever information we can give to show that we have complied with the rule, we're going to do that.
6:18 am
this is the all part of the process. we're going to follow that process and come out on the other side. pete: back in july investigators requested text themmings and other communications, attorneys for mayor adams and his campaign say they're in the process of responding to these subpoenas. and law enforcement arresting the woman accused of trying to take elvis presley's graceland estate yesterday. prosecutors say lisa fendly falsely claimed lisa marie presley owed her millions over a loan she didn't repay before her death and offered the estate as collateral. according to court documents, she allegedly published a fake foreclosure notice the seize graceland before lisa a marie's daughter filed a lawsuit to stop the sale of the property. now she's charged with mail fraud and identity theft. as we pointed out earlier, she went there. a mother in north carolina causing a stir online after a she slept in her daughter's dorm room on her first night at a
6:19 am
appalachian state university last week. her daughter moving in dayses before her roommate since she's part of the school's cheerleading team. the mother says she wants to make memories with her daughter, but critics say mom needs to have some boundaries. and it's not the other top bunk. what say you? will: well, i mean, kid the daughter invite her mom? rachel: yeah, the daughter did. the daughter did. pete: i think it's a little much. unnecessary. rachel: well, my kids wanted me to go. however, i would have liked to have been invited. [laughter] will: to spend the night? rachel: yeah. especially the roommate -- will: i'm not going to be mr. crotchty on this one. pete: you're going to sleep next to your son in college? rachel: but he's going to cry. will: i'm already getting nervous about it. i feel it coming. i saw this on instagram, the
6:20 am
people that -- you're not going to get this. while your dog's still alive, you get sad about the days your dog's not going to be alive, you know? that's how i'm feeling. my sons aren't out of the house, but it's coming down the road. rachel: he has two years, you guys. will: well, i don't care, rachel. pete: he's a sentimental man. he hides it -- will: little did you know. rachel: that's what's nice about having nine kids -- will: will: identify got eight more -- i've got eight more. [laughter] former president trump tapping tulsi gabbard to help him prepare to debate. we'll ask patrick murphy if vp harris is ready for more digs like this. >> what senator harris is doing is, unfortunately, continuing to traffic in lies and smears and innuendos because she cannot challenge the substance of the argument that the i'm making.

♪ will: vice president harris and former president trump rallying voters in pennsylvania this weekend as they get ready to debate each other. trump turning to tulsi gabbard to help him prepare with her experience sharing the stage with harris. >> senate harris says she's proud of her record as a prosecutor is and that a she'll be a prosecutor president, but
6:25 am
i'm deeply concerned about this record. there are too many examples to cite, but she put over 15000 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when asked if she ever smoked marijuana. when you were in a position to make a difference and an impact in these people's lives, you did. and the people who suffered under your reign as prosecutor, you owe them an apology. will: here to react is former pennsylvania congressman patrick murphy. patrick, you're already smiling. are you or -- so tulsi, gabbard a's playing kamala harris in debate prep for donald trump. tulsi gabbard kind of eviscerated kamala harris in the democratic primary debates sometime back. how do you think this is going to go? we've got less than a month now between trump-harris debate stage. >> yeah. thanks so much. listen, tulsi gabbard's a friend, she's a fellow iraq war veteran, and the reality, will,
6:26 am
if she was the vice presidential nominee with donald trump, i think they'd have a much stronger ticket. she's a great american. i texted her morning and said saw i'll be with -- be on with you. listen, it's going to be a showdown on september 10th, and it's my hometown of philadelphia. it's the national constitution center, and she's a sharp warrior, and i'm sure she's doing what she can to help the other side. will: i'm not robbing you of this, i'm not rebutting you, j.d. vance also a veteran can -- >> yeah, no, listen, air -- i've always been respectful d. will: right. >> there's a difference. we're respectful of the veterans, and he wasn't overly respectful to my former roommate, tim walz, but it's what it is. will: to be fair on that, patrick, no one is criticizing tim walz for 24 years of service. the question remains whether or not he exaggerated those years of service both with the title he claimed in command sergeant major and whether or not his
6:27 am
deployment was to combat or even in support of combat. a deployment to italy shouldn't be played up as a deployment to afghanistan or iraq. and you can point that out, one could argue a you should point that out and still not be taking away from the 24 years of service of tim walz. >> yeah. i mean, listen, again, they sain valor which makes it question his service. he has given thousands and thousands of speeches, tim walz has never said he served in combat. he misspoke once about weapons of war, but he carried weapons of war. the reality is this, will, as you know, he served our nation for 24 years. he did deploy under operation enduring freedom. he left his wife, his -- will: but that's not to afghanistan. that's what a had to be claire a guyed. i think sometimes that statement has been run out by tim walz is suggest he was in afghanistan. he wasn't. he was in italy in the support of operation enduring freedom.
6:28 am
>> right. and we should honor the fact that less than 1 of our generation, including pete as a well, j.d. vance served as well. so they're being cute by -- not you, other folks are being cute by, frankly, attacking his service, and he's just a great alternative american. and i think we should honor the fact that he served and he deployed which is less than 11 percent of our -- 1% of our nation. it is what it is. and real quick, he was a command sergeant major. he didn't retire at that rank, but he was a command sergeant major. listen, i'm not trying to get us off track. i know we kind of disagree on this, but i respect tulsi gabbard, i respect tim walz, i respect j.d. vance, i just folks really respected tim walz, and i'm not saying you, but other folks who are hitting him, i think it's distasteful. will: i hear you. i will tell you, i think you can honor his service while questioning whether or not that has been exaggerated for political gain. i do want to move to this as well with you.
6:29 am
that debate stage, where we started, this has got to come up, patrick. and, quite honk lis -- honestly, i don't know what -- where you're going to go. you've been a moderate democrat. we're not talking about the moderate stuff here, patrick. price controls as suggested now by the democratic candidate for president is serious, radical stuff that has been tried in america and failed. but the type of stuff we've seen in places like venezuela. price controls. that is not going to -- a, i don't think it's defensible on a debate stage, i'd love to hear it this morning on "fox & friends". >> listen, i think what the vice president is saying and the plan moving forward is i think there's a real diseffort in america -- discomfort in america that oil and gas companies have record prices yet gas prices were $5 now down to 3, but stil- will: yeah, but this is about groceries. patrick, this is about groceries with margins of 11.5 finish. >> yeah. and the same hinge when she said
6:30 am
in north carolina she's talking about supermarkets, some supermarkets are making record corporate profits and not passing on the cost savings. so i think there's a really call for transparency and like, hey, have the shared sacrifice. if you're making record profits, the american people should stop blaming inflation because flakes was 9% which was way too high, and a big part of that, as you know, was the $8 trillion that went toward the national debt under the trump years. joe biden added on to that, but $8 trillion is really where it started. the reality is, we've got to do a better job for everyday american families, and that's where -- will: and just to be clear, we've got to go, you think price controls is a wise answer to solving inflation, looking into price controls when it comes to groceries? >> no, i this -- i think there's transparency in letting people know where the corporate dollars are going and how they should be a part of it to the -- will: transparency. i think capitalism is transparency, you know? >> we both agree that --
6:31 am
[inaudible] limited government. will: -- the definition of transparency. patrick, we didn't finish. >> -- tax breaks. the $6,000 tax breaks for 1000 million families, buddy, we should be for that. will: i know. she took it right from j.d. vance's mouth. everybody loves more tax credits. i always appreciate the conversation even when it goes in unexpected directions. thank you so much. >> love you, brother. will: more "fox & friends" coming up.

pete: the lapd making four e arrests in the murder of general hospital actor johnny wachter as we expect to learn more details on those charges. the 37-year-old was killed when he approached thieves who were attempting to the steal a catalytic converter from his car. and died while protecting a female coworker from gunfire.
6:36 am
johnny's mother, or scarlet wachter, joins us now. scarlet, i can't imagine -- first of all, just share with our audience a little bit about your son. people know him from tv, but you lost him in may. i know it's still very raw, but tell us about your son. >> he was a very kind person, very compassionate. he loved to help people, always gave them time. like, when he spoke to them, he was completely present. he felt everybody was worth listening to, and even if they didn't agree on whatever they were discussing, he just, you know, was a good kid and a good person. if i felt he had a lot left to do in this world. he was very active climber, loved his acting career, felt, you know, that was just what he wanted to do. and and he was working on some really good i auditions, and i think it would have been a great
6:37 am
year for him had he not passed. pete: thank you for sharing that. god bless you. god bless him. tragically, his life was taken by criminals, but they've finally been caught. the lapd has them. give us an update on what you know about the four perpetrator thes and what the lapd knows. >> i have prayed that they weren't kids so they could be tried as a adults, and two of them turned 18 two weeks before they murdered him, so i'm happy with that. they will be trieded as adults. i think there's three that are 18, one that's 22. three are on murder charges, one is on accessory. they will tell me more on monday because they have to present it to the d.a., i will be there at the arraignment via zoom. micah parker and a lot of his friends will be there as well. anyways, i don't know a whole bunch because they can't tell me a whole bunch, but they're been working on it, and they foal very strong about their case -- they feel very strong about
6:38 am
their case. i want it tried federally because that's where you can get the stronger penalties. pete: sure. what -- there's been a lot of criticism of the environment of law and order in los angeles. if did your son feel safe there? and what do you want to see? what would you like the outcome of this to be? >> i can't hear you, i'm sorry. pete: can you hear me now, ma'am? >> i heard a lot of criticism about law and order. pete: yes, ma'am. did he feel safe in the city of los angeles before this? was there a climate of crime -- >> i'm not sure what you just said. i apologize, i can't hear you, but i believe that they need to definitely lower that -- [audio difficulty] felony threshold. it's ridiculous. i don't know how any business can stay there. there's a lot of things that need to be done. they have -- they, being i think gascon, the d.a -- has single
6:39 am
power, and he has put not moratoriums, but little caveats on law so dummying them down or took away some of the strength of the laws. to me, i believe he's kind of hamstringed the lapd. how can you expect to control crime when you don't give them the tools to do that? they do need a lot more police, they need to hire a lot more. and 91111 workers because, of course -- 91 is 11 because of course 06bg, brian was put on hold when he called. yes, a lot of things could be changed. if. pete:.wow. a lot more to examine here. we're going to continue to follow the case, scarlet. god bless the memory of your son, things like this should not happen, and we hope they throw the book at him. >> i do too. pete: johnny wachter, may he rest in peace. more "fox & friends" in a moment.

rachel, back to you. rachel: all right. you heard it from rick, be careful. rick: yeah. rachel: the cost of a 4-year degree only continues to rise with the average 44-year college costing over $307,000. our next guests opted out of that pricey path, instead or pursuing a career as a truck driver. for new york's transportation department. reid lumis joins us now. bree, so great to have you on this morning. tell me why you made this decision to go to tech school and become a truck driver. >> so, yeah, i wasn't exactly sure what i wanted to do. i bounced back and forth between a lot of things. at one point i wanted to be a veterinarian, a schoolteacher, a welder, and i couldn't just commit to paying over $300,000 just to go to school and think, or welsh maybe this is what i want to do. then deciding i didn't. we had this awesome program through high school, and it was a conservation program. we learned how to operate
6:46 am
equipment, fish and wildlife, tree identification. you name it or, we were outside. and there were so many difference career possibles through that and just, like, career exposure. so i figured if i went there, i could find something that i wanted to do, and i wasn't paying so much money to just see what was out there. and then i fell in love with operating equipment and driving trucks, and i got my cdl and here i am. rachel: how much did it cost to go to tech school? can you give us a range so people might know? >> so my school kind of sponsored it. like, the district paid for us to go, and getting my cdl, the program was around $4,000. rachel: wow, that's amazing. what did your parents think? because i talk to people in these industries, and they say often times the parents are the ones with the college dream. [laughter] >> yeah. so my dad's super supportive. my mom was a little hesitant at a first just because she wanted to see me succeed, but after i
6:47 am
convinced her i could do it, she gave right in, and she's been there ever since. rachel: i noticed that your motto in life is if your dreams don't scare true you, they're -- you, they're not big enough. i actually have that up in my house. say it to my kids all the a time. has anything scared you about making this decision? was there any kind of fear? >> yeah, every, every step of the way i was kind of scared. getting my cdl was probably the scariest. in my class there was one other girl, so it was basically the two of us against the world, and we conquered it. [laughter] and then i work with primarily all men so, you never know what they're going to think or say, but i ended up working with some of the best guys, and heir all super supportive. rachel: well, you sound like a girl with a great attitude, and this choice is a choice a lot of people are making especially in these tough times. thanks for sharing your story and shedding a little light on what that might look like for people and, hopefully, those who are interested will look into it. thanks for joining us, bree.
